PART I

Item 1. Business

Introduction

        Camden Property Trust is a real estate investment trust organized on May 25, 1993 and, with our subsidiaries, reports as a single business segment. We are one of the largest real estate investment trusts in the nation with operations related to the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities in ten states. As of December 31, 2003, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 146 properties containing 52,346 apartment homes geographically dispersed in the Sunbelt and Midwestern markets, from Florida to California. Two of our newly developed multifamily properties containing 786 apartment homes were in lease-up at year end. Two of our multifamily properties containing 1,002 apartment homes were under development at December 31, 2003, including 464 apartment homes owned through a joint venture. We also have several sites that we intend to develop into multifamily apartment communities.

2003 Operating Results

        Our 2003 results reflect the difficult operating fundamentals in our industry, including an oversupply of multifamily housing; low interest rates on mortgage debt, which continue to make home purchases attractive; and a slow economic recovery. During 2003, apartment turnover due to home purchases was at the highest level in our history. Despite these challenges, overall occupancy in our portfolio increased during 2003. The increase in occupancy was achieved in part by offering higher concessions in many of our markets. As a result, we experienced a 1.3% decline in revenues from our same-store communities during the year. Total revenues for 2003 increased slightly as income from newly developed communities offset the decline in revenues from our same-store communities and 2002 dispositions.

        We continued to focus on expense control in 2003. Expenses at our same-store communities increased 4.7% during 2003, after increasing only 1.1% in 2002. The increase in 2003 expenses was driven by increases in property insurance expense, real estate taxes, repair and maintenance costs and normal increases in employee related expenses. We were able to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment in 2003, and these savings should continue, as we replace maturing debt with new lower cost debt.

        Although we expect 2004 to remain a challenging economic environment, we believe we are well positioned for growth. Our average borrowing costs should continue to decline as a result of the replacement of higher priced maturing debt. Additionally, our operating results should be positively impacted by the increase in the occupancy levels of our portfolio, and increases in contributions from our California and Houston development properties.

        At December 31, 2003, we had 1,714 employees. Our headquarters are located at 3 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1300, Houston, Texas 77046 and our telephone number is (713) 354-2500.

Operating Strategy

        We believe that producing consistent earnings growth and selectively investing in favorable markets are crucial factors to our success. We rely heavily on our sophisticated property management capabilities and innovative operating strategies in our efforts to produce consistent earnings growth.

         New Development and Acquisitions . We believe we are well positioned in our current markets and have the expertise to take advantage of both development and acquisition opportunities in certain markets that have healthy long-term fundamentals and strong growth projections. This capability, combined with what we believe is a conservative financial structure, allows us to concentrate our growth efforts towards selective development alternatives and acquisition opportunities. These abilities are key to our strategy of having a geographically and physically diverse pool of assets, which will meet the needs of our residents. We believe that the physical improvements we have made at our acquired properties, such as new or enhanced landscaping design, new or upgraded amenities and redesigned building structures, coupled with a strong focus on property management, branding and marketing, have resulted in attractive yields on acquired properties.

        We expect that selective development of new apartment properties will continue to be important to the growth of our portfolio for the next several years. We use experienced on-site construction superintendents, operating under the supervision of project managers and senior management, to control the construction process. All



3




development decisions are made from our corporate office. Risks inherent to developing real estate include zoning changes and environmental matters. There is also the risk that certain assumptions concerning economic conditions may change during the development process. We believe we understand and effectively manage the risks associated with development, and the risks of new development are justified by higher potential yields.

         Sophisticated Property Management . We believe the depth of our organization enables us to deliver quality services, thereby promoting resident satisfaction and improving resident retention, which should reduce operating expenses. We manage our properties utilizing a staff of professionals and support personnel, including certified property managers, experienced apartment managers and leasing agents, and trained apartment maintenance technicians. Our on-site personnel are trained to deliver high quality services to their residents. We attempt to motivate our on-site employees through incentive compensation arrangements based upon the net operating income produced at their property, rental rate increases and the level of lease renewals achieved. Property net operating income represents total property revenues less total property expenses.

         Operating Strategies . We believe an intense focus on operations is necessary to realize consistent, sustained earnings growth. Ensuring resident satisfaction, increasing rents as market conditions allow, maximizing rent collections, maintaining property occupancy at optimal levels and controlling operating costs comprise our principal strategies to maximize property net operating income. Lease terms are generally staggered based on vacancy exposure by apartment type so that lease expirations are better matched to each property’s seasonal rental patterns. We generally offer leases ranging from six to thirteen months, with individual property marketing plans structured to respond to local market conditions. In addition, we conduct ongoing customer service surveys to ensure we respond timely to residents’ changing needs and to ensure that residents retain a high level of satisfaction.

     Branding. We have implemented our strategic brand initiative, and each of our communities now carries the Camden flagship name. Our brand promise of “Living Excellence” reinforces our reputation as an organization that promises excellence everywhere our customers look. This initiative was undertaken with the goal of reinforcing our reputation as a provider of high quality apartment home living. These actions were designed to leverage our brand to increase market awareness and define who and what we are to our current and prospective residents. We believe the successful implementation of our brand initiative will continue to generate long-term value for us and our shareholders.

     Dispositions. We continue to operate in markets where we have a concentration advantage due to economies of scale. We feel that where possible, it is best to operate with a strong base of properties in order to benefit from the personnel allocation and the market strength associated with managing several properties in the same market. However, in order to generate consistent earnings growth, we intend to selectively dispose of properties and redeploy capital if we determine a property cannot meet long-term earnings growth expectations. We also intend to continue rebalancing our portfolio with the goal of limiting any one market to providing no more than 10% of total net operating income. Our strategy regarding undeveloped land sales has been to integrate the residential and retail components in such a way that enhances the quality of life for our residents.

        As of December 31, 2003, we had operating properties in 16 markets. No single market contributed more than 15% of our net operating income for the year then ended. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Houston, Dallas and Las Vegas contributed 14.4%, 13.9% and 13.8%, respectively, of our net operating income.

         Environmental Matters . Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we are liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in our properties. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. All of our properties have been subjected to Phase I site assessments or similar environmental audits to determine the likelihood of contamination from either on- or off-site sources. These audits have been carried out in accordance with accepted industry practices. We have also conducted limited subsurface investigations and tested for radon and lead-based paint where such procedures have been recommended by our consultants. We cannot assure you that existing environmental studies reveal all environmental liabilities or that any prior owner did not create any material environmental condition not known to us. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous substances may be substantial. If hazardous or toxic substances are present on a property, or if we fail to properly remediate such substances, our ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral may be adversely affected.

     Insurance. We carry comprehensive liability and property insurance on our properties, which we believe is of the type and amount customarily obtained on real property assets. We intend to obtain similar coverage for properties we acquire in the future. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses from floods or earthquakes that may be subject to limitations in certain areas. We exercise our



4




discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a view to maintaining appropriate insurance on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. If we suffer a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also might make it infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed.

Markets and Competition

        Our portfolio consists of middle- to upper-market apartment properties. We target acquisitions and developments in selected markets. Since our initial public offering in 1993, we have diversified into markets in the Southwest, Southeast, Midwest and Western regions of the United States. By combining acquisition, renovation and development capabilities, we believe we can better respond to changing conditions in each market, reduce market risk and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

        There are numerous housing alternatives that compete with our properties in attracting residents. Our properties compete directly with other multifamily properties and single family homes that are available for rent in the markets in which our properties are located. Our properties also compete for residents with the new and existing owned-home market. The demand for rental housing is driven by economic and demographic trends. Recent trends in the economics of renting versus home ownership indicate an increasing demand for owned housing in certain markets due to a number of factors, including the decrease in mortgage interest rates.

The operating properties had a weighted average occupancy rate of 93% and 92% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Resident lease terms generally range from six to thirteen months and usually require security deposits. One hundred and twenty five of our operating properties have over 200 apartment homes, with the largest having 894 apartment homes.

Completed Properties In Lease-Up

        The completed properties in lease-up table is incorporated herein by reference from page 5 of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2003, which page is filed as Exhibit 13.1.

Development Property

        The total budgeted cost of the wholly owned development property is approximately $144.5 million, with a remaining cost to complete, as of December 31, 2003, of approximately $6.0 million. There can be no assurance that our budget, leasing or occupancy estimates will be attained for the development property or its performance will be comparable to that of our existing portfolio.

Development Property Table

        The development property table is incorporated herein by reference from page 5 of our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2003, which is filed as Exhibit 13.1.

        Management believes that we possess the development capabilities and experience to provide a continuing source of portfolio growth. In making development decisions, management considers a number of factors, including the size of the property, projected market rents and expenses, projected local area job growth, cost of single family housing in the area and availability of land for competing development properties. In order to pursue a development opportunity, we currently require a minimum initial stabilized target return of 7% to 10%. This minimum target return is based on projected market rents and projected stabilized expenses, considering the market and the nature of the prospective development.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

        Prior to our merger with Oasis Residential, Inc. in 1998, Oasis had been contacted by certain regulatory agencies with regard to alleged failures to comply with the Fair Housing Amendments Act (the “Fair Housing Act”) as it pertained to nine properties (seven of which we currently own) constructed for first occupancy after March 31, 1991. On February 1, 1999, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against us and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada alleging (1) that the design and construction of these properties violates the Fair Housing Act and (2) that we, through the merger with Oasis, had discriminated in the rental of dwellings to persons because of handicap. The complaint requests an order that (i) declares that the defendants’ policies and practices violate the Fair Housing Act; (ii) enjoins us from (a) failing or refusing, to the extent possible, to bring the dwelling units and public use and common use areas at these properties and other covered units that Oasis had designed and/or constructed into compliance with the Fair Housing Act, (b) failing or refusing to take such affirmative steps as may be necessary to restore, as nearly as possible, the alleged victims of the defendants’ alleged unlawful practices to positions they would have been in but for the discriminatory conduct, and (c) designing or constructing any covered multifamily dwellings in the future that do not contain the accessibility and adaptability features set forth in the Fair Housing Act; and requires us to pay damages, including punitive damages, and a civil penalty.

        With any acquisition, we plan for and undertake renovations needed to correct deferred maintenance, life/safety and Fair Housing matters. On January 30, 2001, a consent decree was ordered and executed in the above Justice Department action. Under the terms of the decree, we were ordered to make certain retrofits and implement certain educational programs and Fair Housing advertising. These changes are to take place over five years. The costs associated with complying with the decree have been accrued for and are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

        We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

DECEMBER 1, 2003

Beneficial Interest (the “Series B Preferred Shares”)

        WHEREAS, the Board of Trust Managers of Camden Property Trust (the “ Company ”) has deemed it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders for the Company to amend the terms of the Series B Preferred Shares, as designated by that certain Statement of Designation of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Company, effective as of February 23, 1999, as filed with the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas, on February 24, 1999, (the “Original Statement of Designation ”, any terms capitalized herein but not defined herein having the definitions therefor set forth in the Original Statement of Designation), pursuant to the authority granted to the Board of Trust Managers in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the “ Declaration of Trust ”) of the Company:

        NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Trust Managers by the Declaration of Trust, the Original Statement of Designation is hereby amended as follows:

         1.     Section 1 is hereby amended by deleting the term “8.5%” from the first sentence therein and inserting the term “7.0%” in lieu thereof.

         2.     Section 3 is hereby amended by deleting the term “8.50%” from the first sentence therein and inserting the term “7.00%” in lieu thereof.

         3.     Section 5(a) is hereby amended by deleting the date “February 23, 2004” from the first sentence therein and replacing it with “December 2, 2008.”

         4.     Section 6(c) is hereby amended by inserting the following phrase into the first proviso of subclause (iii) thereof after the phrase “all of the Company’s assets as an entirety,”:

                 “such merger, consolidation, sale or lease does not result in a Change of Control of the Company and”

         5.     Section 6(c) is hereby further amended by deleting the word “or” at the end of subclause (ii) in the first sentence thereof, and inserting the following at the end thereof:

EXHIBIT 10.7


FORM OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED
MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
(TRUST MANAGERS)


             This Amended and Restated Master Exchange Agreement dated November 30, 2003 (this "Agreement"), is made by _____________________________________ (the "Recipient") and Camden Property Trust (the "Company").

            WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Master Exchange Agreement dated _____________ by and between the Recipient and the Company and that certain Master Exchange Agreement dated ____________ by and between the Recipient and the Company (collectively, the “Master Exchange Agreements”), the Recipient exchanged his right to receive unvested Restricted Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) for those certain Rights to Repurchase described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Original Rights to Repurchase”); and

            WHEREAS, the Recipient and the Company desire to (i) exchange the Original Rights to Repurchase for (A) the Rights to Repurchase described in Exhibit B hereto subject to the provisions hereof (the “Modified Rights to Repurchase”) and (B) those certain options to acquire marketable securities from the Camden Property Trust Key Employee Share Option Plan (“KEYSOP”), further described in Exhibit C hereto subject to the provisions of the KEYSOP and one or more Option Agreements entered into by and between the Company and the Recipient (the “Options”); and (ii) amend and restate the Master Exchange Agreements as set forth herein.

            NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


1. The Original Rights to Repurchase are hereby cancelled and the Recipient shall have no further rights (to purchase Company shares or otherwise) with respect thereto. The Master Exchange Agreements are superceded in their entirety by this Agreement.

2. The Recipient (i) is hereby granted the Modified Rights to Repurchase which, except as provided to the contrary herein, shall be treated for all purposes as if such Modified Rights to Repurchase were originally issued to the Recipient pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreements, as amended hereby; and (ii) hereby acknowledges receipt of the Options. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, for purposes of determining the period during which the Modified Rights to Repurchase may be exercised by the Recipient, the applicable vesting date with respect to the Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be the later of November 30, 2003 or the vesting date set forth in the Exchange Supplement B attached hereto as Exhibit D .

3. The Restricted Shares are (and shall continue to be) held in a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) established by and for the benefit of the Company. The Trust shall be administered by an independent trustee selected by the Company. Unless otherwise agreed by Recipient and the Company, the Company agrees, whenever any dividend is declared on common shares of beneficial interest of the Company,



  $.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), to pay to the Recipient an amount per Restricted Share held hereunder as of such date(s) by the Trust equal to the amount per Common Share paid to the holders of record of Common Shares of the Company (the “Dividend Equivalents”). The Company and Recipient may agree that any Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares shall be paid to the Camden Property Trust Key Employee Share Option Plan (“KEYSOP”) instead of the Recipient. In such event, the Dividend Equivalents shall be paid into the KEYSOP on a quarterly basis and shall be subject to a six month vesting period beginning on the date that the Dividend Equivalents are deposited into the KEYSOP. The KEYSOP will invest the Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities selected at the discretion of the Committee appointed by the Board of trust managers of the Company pursuant to Article V of the KEYSOP (the “Committee”) and the Recipient will receive an option to purchase assets from the KEYSOP in accordance with the terms of the KEYSOP. Any such agreement to pay Dividend Equivalents to the KEYSOP shall be applicable with respect to Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares during the following calendar year, and shall be irrevocable for those Dividend Equivalents. The Dividend Equivalents payable under this Section 3 shall be distributed directly to the Recipient via payroll or to the KEYSOP, as the case may be, on a quarterly basis. Upon the occurrence of any event that results in Recipient no longer being a trust manager of the Company (a “Termination Event”), no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable on any Restricted Shares that are forfeited by the Recipient. If any dividend is declared on the Common Shares after the occurrence of a Termination Event, any related Dividend Equivalents (payable with respect to Restricted Shares that are not forfeited by the Recipient) shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be paid to the Recipient in cash or be paid by the Company to the KEYSOP (upon terms and conditions determined to be appropriate by the Committee). Any Dividend Equivalents paid to the KEYSOP shall accumulate in the KEYSOP and be subject to the terms and provisions of the KEYSOP. In this regard, the Committee shall invest such Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities and shall have the right to substitute, from time to time, other marketable securities of equal value for the securities originally purchased by the Committee.

4. Pursuant to the Modified Rights to Repurchase, the Recipient shall have the right to purchase all or any part of any fully-vested Restricted Shares held in the Trust. The Modified Rights to Repurchase may be exercised with regard to vested shares in an amount at least equal to the lesser of 2,000 shares or the number of shares for any portion of an Award separately identified in the Exchange Supplement B attached hereto as Exhibit D .

5. The Modified Rights to Repurchase shall vest as shown on the Exchange Supplement B attached hereto as Exhibit D which shall generally track the original vesting schedule for the Restricted Shares prior to the applicable exchange. Subject to Section 8 hereof, the Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of 30 years from the vesting date (as established pursuant to Section 2 hereof).

2




6. The exercise price of the Modified Rights to Repurchase shall equal 25% of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares to be purchased by Recipient, as determined on November 30, 2003.

7. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to exchange some or all of the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase for Options (as defined in the KEYSOP) to acquire Designated Property (as defined in the KEYSOP) of reasonably equivalent value as of the date of the exchange as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion. The Recipient hereby agrees to execute any and all options, option agreements, exchange agreements and other documents, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any such exchange.

8. Subject to Section 14 hereof, if a Termination Event occurs before the vesting of the Modified Rights to Repurchase, the Modified Rights to Repurchase not theretofore vested shall terminate on the date of the Termination Event (the “Termination Date”). Recipient’s vested Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of time following the Termination Date equal to the lesser of:

  a. the expiration of the Post Termination Period (as hereinbelow defined), and

  b. Thirty (30) years after the applicable vesting date.

  For purposes hereof, the “Post Termination Period” means, as to the Recipient, the period commencing on the day immediately following the Termination Date and ending on the later of (i) one year from the Termination Date or (ii) the number of complete years of service by the Recipient as a trust manager of the Company through the Termination Date (provided, that, if the Recipient has completed at least ten (10) complete years of service as a trust manager, as calculated hereunder, then such period shall end with respect to each Modified Right to Repurchase thirty (30) years from the applicable vesting date). For purposes hereof, any period of service by a Recipient as a trust manager that is less than one year shall be disregarded in calculating the Post Termination Period. In the event of any merger of any entity with and into the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any former trust manager or director of such merged entity who becomes a trust manager of the Company may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, receive credit for all or a portion of such director’s or trust manager’s complete years of service as a trust manager or director with such merged entity for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period hereunder. In the event that Recipient was a trust manager of the Company and there was a Termination Event with respect to such Recipient and later the Recipient became a trust manager of the Company again, then, unless a waiver (in writing) is granted to the Recipient by the Committee, for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period, only the complete years of service by the Recipient immediately preceding the current Termination Event shall be considered (i.e. the Post Termination Period will be calculated based on the period beginning upon the date that such Recipient re-commenced service as a trust manager of the Company and ending upon the date of the later Termination Event).

3




  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, (i) upon the date that is six months after the date of the death of a Recipient (the “Six Month Date”), and at any time thereafter, the Post Termination Period applicable to such Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase held by any person or entity other than the surviving spouse of the Recipient or a trust in which such surviving spouse is a then-living beneficiary (a “Specified Beneficiary”), including without limitation any such Modified Rights to Repurchase that were originally held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date that are no longer so held due to the death of the surviving spouse or any subsequent transfer of such Modified Rights to Repurchase, shall be equal to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period (as calculated above) and (B) one year from the Six Month Date, or if the Modified Rights to Repurchase were held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date, one year from the first date thereafter that such Modified Rights to Repurchase are no longer held by a Specified Beneficiary; and (ii) in the event that the Committee determines that any act or omission of the Recipient constitutes fraud or a violation of applicable law or any act or omission of the Recipient in connection with the business or affairs of the Company constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct (including, without limitation, any violation of a Company policy in any material respect), then the Committee in its sole discretion, may, upon delivery of written notice to the Recipient, reduce the Post Termination Period to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period and (B) sixty (60) days from the date that the Committee determines that the Recipient has committed such act or omission.

  Any unexercised Modified Rights to Repurchase that are not exercised within the requisite time period prescribed in this Section 8 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

9. All initial capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

10. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

11. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid under any current or future law, such provision shall be fully separable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. In lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and the parties hereto request the court or any arbitrator to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform the otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision in accordance with this Section 11.

12. The Modified Rights to Repurchase, to the extent permitted by law, may be assigned or pledged as follows:

4




  a. to the Recipient’s spouse or lineal descendants,

  b. to the trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants,

  c. to a partnership of which the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants are the only partners,

  d. to a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Any such assignment will be permitted only if an assignment is expressly approved in writing by the Committee, and the Recipient receives no consideration for the assignment, or

  e. to a lender reasonably acceptable to the Committee, so long as the pledge of such Modified Rights to Repurchase does not alter the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Modified Rights to Repurchase as in effect immediately prior to such pledge.

  Any such assignment or pledge will be evidenced by appropriate written documents in the form prescribed by the Committee executed by the requisite parties, and delivered to the Committee on or before the relevant effective date. In the event of such assignment or pledge the spouse, lineal descendant, trustee, partnership, tax exempt organization or lender will be entitled to all of the rights of the Recipient with respect to the assigned portion of the Modified Right to Repurchase, and such portion of the Modified Right to Repurchase, will continue to be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the original award of Restricted Shares, and as set forth in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the occurrence of any Termination Event and the calculation of any Post Termination Period shall continue to be made with reference to the assignor Recipient notwithstanding any permitted assignment or transfer hereunder.

13. The Restricted Shares and Modified Rights to Repurchase covered by this Agreement shall be subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan (currently Section 7 of the Plan).

14. To the extent any provisions of this Agreement conflict with (i) the provisions of any employment agreement entered into between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and the Recipient, the terms of the employment agreement shall control or (ii) the terms of any written award document executed by the Company with respect to the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase (an “Award Agreement”), the terms of the Award Agreement shall control. For purposes hereof, the Master Exchange Agreements shall not constitute Award Agreements. To the extent that any such employment agreement or Award Agreement provides for the automatic or accelerated vesting of securities or derivative securities held by the Recipient upon the occurrence of a change of control, business combination or other enumerated event, any unvested Restricted Shares and the resultant Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be governed by such provisions and shall vest on the terms and conditions set forth in such employment agreement or Award Agreement.

5




15. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the acceleration of vesting of any Restricted Shares and resultant Modified Rights to Repurchase of a Recipient (who is not then a party to an employment agreement with Employer) following a change in control of the Company, when aggregated with other payments or benefits to the Recipient, whether or not payable pursuant to this Agreement, would, as determined by tax counsel selected by the Company, result in “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as determined from time to time (the “Code)), such parachute payments or benefits provided to the Recipient under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the Recipient’s net after tax benefit (after taking into consideration all other payments made by the Company to the Recipient) shall exceed the net after tax benefit if such reduction were not made. “Net after tax benefit” shall mean the sum of (i) all payments and benefits which the Recipient receives or is then entitled to receive that would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for the year in which such payments and benefits shall be paid to the Participant (based upon the rate for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payment and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code.

6




16. In the event that a Termination Event shall occur to or with respect to a Recipient, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, charge the Costs of Administration (as herein defined) with respect to the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement to the Recipient (and any transferee or assignee of any of the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase) during any periods following the Recipient’s Termination of Employment and prior to the exercise by the Recipient of all of his or her Modified Rights to Repurchase. For purposes hereof the “Costs of Administration” with respect to a Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement shall equal five thousand dollars ($5,000) per year; provided, that, beginning with calendar year 2004 and with respect to each calendar year thereafter, the Committee may increase the Costs of Administration in an amount equal to the increase in the CPI (as herein defined) as of January 1 of the particular year as compared to the CPI as of January 1 of the immediately preceding year. The Recipient and all transferees and assignees of the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be jointly and severally liable for such Costs of Administration. The Committee may assess such Costs of Administration on an annual, quarterly or other basis. The Recipient and his or her transferees and assignees will pay such Costs of Administration no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor from the Committee. Without limiting any other remedies available to the Company, upon a failure by a Recipient or his or her transferees or assignees to timely pay any such Costs of Administration, (i) the Committee may cancel one or more of the Modified Rights to Repurchase originally issued to the Recipient and deliver the underlying Company shares to the Company to fund such Costs of Administration and/or (ii) the Committee may withhold an amount equal to such Costs of Administration from the Dividend Equivalents otherwise payable to the Recipient or his transferees or assignees and apply such withheld Dividend Equivalents to the payment of the Costs of Administration. For purposes hereof “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Revised Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) all items (CPI-U), or if such index shall cease to be published such reasonably comparable commercially recognized, governmental or non-partisan alternative publication the Committee shall select.

17. The Committee, in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, allow the Recipient to exchange one or more non-qualified share options or incentive share options granted to the Recipient pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Share Incentive Plan or 2002 Share Incentive Plan or any subsequent share incentive plan of the Company (or any restricted shares received by the Recipient pursuant to the exercise of any such non-qualified share options or incentive share options) for one or more Modified Rights to Repurchase upon terms and conditions approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
(KEY EMPLOYEES)

             This Amended and Restated Master Exchange Agreement dated November 30, 2003 (this “Agreement”), is made by _____________________________________ (the “Recipient”) and Camden Property Trust (the “Company”).

             WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Master Exchange Agreement dated _____________ by and between the Recipient and the Company and that certain Master Exchange Agreement dated ____________ by and between the Recipient and the Company (collectively, the “Master Exchange Agreements”), the Recipient exchanged his right to receive unvested Restricted Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) for those certain Rights to Repurchase described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Original Rights to Repurchase”); and

             WHEREAS, the Recipient and the Company desire to (i) exchange the Original Rights to Repurchase for (A) the Rights to Repurchase described in Exhibit B hereto subject to the provisions hereof (the “Modified Rights to Repurchase”) and (B) those certain options to acquire marketable securities from the Camden Property Trust Key Employee Share Option Plan (“KEYSOP”), further described in Exhibit C hereto subject to the provisions of the KEYSOP and one or more Option Agreements entered into by and between the Company and the Recipient (the “Options”); and (ii) amend and restate the Master Exchange Agreements as set forth herein.

             NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


1. The Original Rights to Repurchase are hereby cancelled and the Recipient shall have no further rights (to purchase Company shares or otherwise) with respect thereto. The Master Exchange Agreements are superceded in their entirety by this Agreement.

2. The Recipient (i) is hereby granted the Modified Rights to Repurchase which, except as provided to the contrary herein, shall be treated for all purposes as if such Modified Rights to Repurchase were originally issued to the Recipient pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreements, as amended hereby; and (ii) hereby acknowledges receipt of the Options. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, for purposes of determining the period during which the Modified Rights to Repurchase may be exercised by the Recipient, the applicable vesting date with respect to the Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be the later of November 30, 2003 or the vesting date set forth in the Exchange Supplement B attached hereto as Exhibit D .

3. The Restricted Shares are (and shall continue to be) held in a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) established by and for the benefit of the Company. The Trust shall be administered by an independent trustee selected by the Company. Unless otherwise agreed by Recipient and the Company, the Company agrees, whenever any

 




  dividend is declared on common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), to pay to the Recipient an amount per Restricted Share held hereunder as of such date(s) by the Trust equal to the amount per Common Share paid to the holders of record of Common Shares of the Company (the “Dividend Equivalents”). The Company and Recipient may agree that any Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares shall be paid to the Camden Property Trust Key Employee Share Option Plan (“KEYSOP”) instead of the Recipient. In such event, the Dividend Equivalents shall be paid into the KEYSOP on a quarterly basis and shall be subject to a six month vesting period beginning on the date that the Dividend Equivalents are deposited into the KEYSOP. The KEYSOP will invest the Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities selected at the discretion of the Committee appointed by the Board of trust managers of the Company pursuant to Article V of the KEYSOP (the “Committee”) and the Recipient will receive an option to purchase assets from the KEYSOP in accordance with the terms of the KEYSOP. Any such agreement to pay Dividend Equivalents to the KEYSOP shall be applicable with respect to Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares during the following calendar year, and shall be irrevocable for those Dividend Equivalents. The Dividend Equivalents payable under this Section 3 shall be distributed directly to the Recipient via payroll or to the KEYSOP, as the case may be, on a quarterly basis. Upon termination of employment of the Recipient, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable on any Restricted Shares that are forfeited by the Recipient. If any dividend is declared on the Common Shares after the date on which Recipient ceases employment with the Company or its Affiliates, any related Dividend Equivalents (payable with respect to Restricted Shares that are not forfeited by the Recipient) shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be paid to the Recipient in cash or be paid by the Company to the KEYSOP (upon terms and conditions determined to be appropriate by the Committee). Any Dividend Equivalents paid to the KEYSOP shall accumulate in the KEYSOP and be subject to the terms and provisions of the KEYSOP. In this regard, the Committee shall invest such Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities and shall have the right to substitute, from time to time, other marketable securities of equal value for the securities originally purchased by the Committee.

4. Pursuant to the Modified Rights to Repurchase, the Recipient shall have the right to purchase all or any part of any fully-vested Restricted Shares held in the Trust. The Modified Rights to Repurchase may be exercised with regard to vested shares in an amount at least equal to the lesser of 2,000 shares or the number of shares for any portion of an Award separately identified in Exchange Supplement B attached hereto as Exhibit D .

5. The Modified Rights to Repurchase shall vest as shown on the Exchange Supplement B attached hereto as Exhibit D which shall generally track the original vesting schedule for the Restricted Shares prior to the applicable exchange. Subject to Section 8 hereof, the Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of 30 years from the vesting date (as established pursuant to Section 2 hereof).

2




6. The exercise price of the Modified Rights to Repurchase shall equal 25% of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares to be purchased by Recipient, as determined on November 30, 2003.

7. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to exchange some or all of the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase for Options (as defined in the KEYSOP) to acquire Designated Property (as defined in the KEYSOP) of reasonably equivalent value as of the date of the exchange as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion. The Recipient hereby agrees to execute any and all options, option agreements, exchange agreements and other documents, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any such exchange.

8. Subject to Section 14 hereof, if Recipient’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates is terminated for any reason (a “Termination of Employment”) before the vesting of the Modified Rights to Repurchase, the Modified Rights to Repurchase not theretofore vested shall terminate on the date of the Recipient’s Termination of Employment (the “Termination Date”). Recipient’s vested Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of time following the Termination Date equal to the lesser of:

  a. the expiration of the Post Termination Period (as hereinbelow defined), and

  b. Thirty (30) years after the applicable vesting date.

  For purposes hereof, the “Post Termination Period” means, as to the Recipient, the period commencing on the day immediately following the Termination Date and ending on the later of (i) one year from the Termination Date or (ii) the number of complete years of employment by the Recipient with the Company or its Affiliates through the Termination Date (provided, that, if the Recipient has completed at least ten (10) complete years of employment, as calculated hereunder, then such period shall end with respect to each Modified Right to Repurchase thirty (30) years from the applicable vesting date). For purposes hereof, any period of employment of the Recipient that is less than one year shall be disregarded in calculating the Post Termination Period. In the event of any merger of any entity with and into the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any former employee of such merged entity who becomes an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, receive credit for all or a portion of such employee’s complete years of employment with such merged entity for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period hereunder. In the event that the Recipient was employed by the Company and there was a Termination of Employment with respect to such Recipient and later the Recipient became an employee of the Company again, then, unless a waiver (in writing) is granted to the Recipient by the Committee, for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period, only the complete years of employment of the Recipient immediately preceding the current Termination of Employment of the Recipient shall be considered (i.e. the Post Termination Period will be calculated based on the

3




  period beginning upon the date that such Recipient re-commenced employment with the Company and ending upon the date of his or her Termination of Employment). Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, (i) upon the date that is six months after the date of the death of the Recipient (the “Six Month Date”), and at any time thereafter, the Post Termination Period applicable to such Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase held by any person or entity other than the surviving spouse of the Recipient or a trust in which such surviving spouse is a then-living beneficiary (a “Specified Beneficiary”), including without limitation any such Modified Rights to Repurchase that were originally held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date that are no longer so held due to the death of the surviving spouse or any subsequent transfer of such Modified Rights to Repurchase, shall be equal to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period (as calculated above) and (B) one year from the Six Month Date, or if the Modified Rights to Repurchase were held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date, one year from the first date thereafter that such Modified Rights to Repurchase are no longer held by a Specified Beneficiary; and (ii) in the event that the Committee determines that any act or omission of the Recipient constitutes fraud or a violation of applicable law or any act or omission of the Recipient in connection with the business or affairs of the Company constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct (including, without limitation, any violation of a Company policy in any material respect), then the Committee in its sole discretion, may, upon delivery of written notice to the Recipient, reduce the Post Termination Period to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period and (B) sixty (60) days from the date that the Committee determines that the Recipient has committed such act or omission.

  Any unexercised Modified Rights to Repurchase that are not exercised within the requisite time period prescribed in this Section 8 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

9. All initial capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

10. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

11. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid under any current or future law, such provision shall be fully separable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. In lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and the parties hereto request the court or any arbitrator to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform the otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision in accordance with this Section 11.

12. The Modified Rights to Repurchase, to the extent permitted by law, may be assigned or pledged as follows:

  a. to the Recipient’s spouse or lineal descendants,

  b. to the trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants,

  c. to a partnership of which the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants are the only partners,

  d. to a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Any such assignment will be permitted only if an assignment is expressly approved in writing by the Committee, and the Recipient receives no consideration for the assignment, or

  e. to a lender reasonably acceptable to the Committee, so long as the pledge of such Modified Rights to Repurchase does not alter the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Modified Rights to Repurchase as in effect immediately prior to such pledge.

  Any such assignment or pledge will be evidenced by appropriate written documents in the form prescribed by the Committee executed by the requisite parties, and delivered to the Committee on or before the relevant effective date. In the event of such assignment or pledge the spouse, lineal descendant, trustee, partnership, tax exempt organization or lender will be entitled to all of the rights of the Recipient with respect to the assigned portion of the Modified Right to Repurchase, and such portion of the Modified Right to Repurchase, will continue to be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the original award of Restricted Shares, and as set forth in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the occurrence of any Termination of Employment and the calculation of any Post Termination Period shall continue to be made with reference to the assignor Recipient notwithstanding any permitted assignment or transfer hereunder.

13. The Restricted Shares and Modified Rights to Repurchase covered by this Agreement shall be subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan (currently Section 7 of the Plan).

14. To the extent any provisions of this Agreement conflict with (i) the provisions of any employment agreement entered into between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and the Recipient, the terms of the employment agreement shall control or (ii) the terms of any written award document executed by the Company with respect to the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase (an “Award Agreement”), the terms of the Award Agreement shall control. For purposes hereof, the Master Exchange Agreements shall not constitute Award Agreements. To

5




  the extent that any such employment agreement or Award Agreement provides for the automatic or accelerated vesting of securities or derivative securities held by the Recipient upon the occurrence of a change of control, business combination or other enumerated event, any unvested Restricted Shares and the resultant Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be governed by such provisions and shall vest on the terms and conditions set forth in such employment agreement or Award Agreement. Upon a “Change of Control” (as defined below) with respect to the Company, notwithstanding any provision of Section 8 hereof to the contrary, any unvested Modified Rights to Repurchase of a Recipient hereunder that would otherwise vest (assuming no Termination of Employment with respect to such Recipient) within the six month period following such Change of Control shall automatically vest upon such Change of Control. For purposes hereof “Change of Control” shall mean any one or more of the following:

  a. any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of common shares of the Company) together with its “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) makes a tender or exchange offer for or is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or has become the beneficial owner during the most recent twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

  b. during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the date hereof), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of trust managers of the Company, and any new trust managers (other than trust managers designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses a., c. or d. of this definition) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trust managers then still in office who either were trust managers at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or

  c. the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove defined)

6




    acquires more than 25% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

  d. the shareholders of the Company adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or approve an agreement for the sale, exchange or disposition by the Company of all or a significant portion of the Company’s assets. For purposes of this clause d., the term “the sale, exchange or disposition by the Company of all or a significant portion of the Company’s assets” shall mean a sale or other disposition transaction or series of related transactions involving assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (including the stock of any subsidiary of the Company) in which the value of the assets or stock being sold or otherwise disposed of as measured by the purchase price being paid therefore or by such other method as the Board determines is appropriate in a case where there is no readily ascertainable purchase price) constitutes more than 33-1/3% of the Fair Market Value of the Company (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “Fair Market Value of the Company” shall be the aggregate market value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) plus the aggregate market value of the Company’s other outstanding equity securities. The aggregate market value of the common shares of the Company shall be determined by multiplying the number of such common shares (on a fully diluted basis) outstanding on the date of the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction or series of related transactions (the “Transaction Date”) by the average closing price of such common shares for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Transaction Date. The aggregate market value of any other securities of the Company shall be determined in the foregoing manner or by such other method as the Board of trust managers shall determine is appropriate.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the time a Change in Control would otherwise be deemed to have occurred pursuant to the above provisions, the Board of trust managers determines otherwise.

15. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the acceleration of vesting of any Restricted Shares and resultant Modified Rights to Repurchase of a Recipient (who is not then a party to an employment agreement with Employer) following a Change in Control, when aggregated with other payments or benefits to the Recipient, whether or not payable pursuant to this Agreement, would, as determined by tax counsel selected by the Company, result in “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as determined from time to time (the “Code)), such parachute payments or benefits provided to the Recipient under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the Recipient’s net after tax benefit (after taking into consideration all other payments made by the Company to the Recipient) shall exceed the net after tax benefit if such reduction were

7




  not made. “Net after tax benefit” shall mean the sum of (i) all payments and benefits which the Recipient receives or is then entitled to receive that would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for the year in which such payments and benefits shall be paid to the Participant (based upon the rate for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payment and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code.

16. In the event that a Termination of Employment shall occur to or with respect to a Recipient, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, charge the Costs of Administration (as herein defined) with respect to the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement to the Recipient (and any transferee or assignee of any of the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase) during any periods following the Recipient’s Termination of Employment and prior to the exercise by the Recipient of all of his or her Modified Rights to Repurchase. For purposes hereof the “Costs of Administration” with respect to a Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement shall equal five thousand dollars ($5,000) per year; provided, that, beginning with calendar year 2004 and with respect to each calendar year thereafter, the Committee may increase the Costs of Administration in an amount equal to the increase in the CPI (as herein defined) as of January 1 of the particular year as compared to the CPI as of January 1 of the immediately preceding year. The Recipient and all transferees and assignees of the Recipient’s Modified Rights to Repurchase shall be jointly and severally liable for such Costs of Administration. The Committee may assess such Costs of Administration on an annual, quarterly or other basis. The Recipient and his or her transferees and assignees will pay such Costs of Administration no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor from the Committee. Without limiting any other remedies available to the Company, upon a failure by a Recipient or his or her transferees or assignees to timely pay any such Costs of Administration, (i) the Committee may cancel one or more of the Modified Rights to Repurchase originally issued to the Recipient and deliver the underlying Company shares to the Company to fund such Costs of Administration and/or (ii) the Committee may withhold an amount equal to such Costs of Administration from the Dividend Equivalents otherwise payable to the Recipient or his transferees or assignees and apply such withheld Dividend Equivalents to the payment of the Costs of Administration. For purposes hereof “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Revised Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) all items (CPI-U), or if such index shall cease to be published such reasonably comparable commercially recognized, governmental or non-partisan alternative publication the Committee shall select.

17. The Committee, in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, allow the Recipient to exchange one or more non-qualified share options or incentive share options granted to the Recipient pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Share Incentive Plan or 2002 Share Incentive Plan or any subsequent share incentive plan of the Company (or any restricted shares received by the Recipient pursuant

8




  to the exercise of any such non-qualified share options or incentive share options) for one or more Modified Rights to Repurchase upon terms and conditions approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

FORM OF MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
(Key Employees)

          This Master Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) entered into this XX day of MONTH, YEAR by and between INSERT NAME (“Recipient”) and Camden Property Trust (the “Company”).

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the 2002 Share Incentive Plan of Camden Property Trust (such plan together with any successor plan is referred to herein as the “Plan”), the Recipient has and will receive awards of Restricted Shares as shown in Exchange Supplement A attached hereto which shall vest over time in accordance with the terms of the Plan and outlined on Exchange Supplement B;

          WHEREAS, Recipient desires to exchange his right to receive the unvested Restricted Shares upon vesting and all other rights appurtenant thereto for the Rights to Repurchase (as defined below);

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to exchange the Rights to Repurchase for the return of the Recipient’s unvested Restricted Shares;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


1. Recipient hereby agrees to exchange Recipient’s unvested Restricted Shares (including the right to receive dividends thereon and the right to vote such shares) for the Rights to Repurchase as described below.

2. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deposit Recipient’s Restricted Shares into a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) established by and for the benefit of the Company. The Trust shall be administered by an independent trustee who shall be selected by the Company. Unless otherwise agreed by Recipient and the Company, the Company agrees, whenever any dividend is declared on common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), to pay to the Recipient an amount per Restricted Share held hereunder as of such date(s) by the Trust equal to the amount per Common Share paid to the holders of record of Common Shares of the Company (the “Dividend Equivalents”). The Company and Recipient may agree that any Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares shall be paid to the Camden Property Trust Key Employee Share Option Plan (“KEYSOP”) instead of the Recipient. In such event, the Dividend Equivalents shall be paid into the KEYSOP on a quarterly basis and shall be subject to a six month vesting period beginning on the date that the Dividend Equivalents are deposited into the KEYSOP. The KEYSOP will invest the


 





  Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities selected at the discretion of the Committee appointed by the Board of trust managers of the Company pursuant to Article V of the KEYSOP (the “Committee”) and the Recipient will receive an option to purchase assets from the KEYSOP in accordance with the terms of the KEYSOP. Any such agreement to pay Dividend Equivalents to the KEYSOP shall be applicable with respect to Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares during the following calendar year, and shall be irrevocable for those Dividend Equivalents. The Dividend Equivalents payable under this Section 2 shall be distributed directly to the Recipient via payroll or to the KEYSOP, as the case may be, on a quarterly basis. Upon termination of employment, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable on any Restricted Shares that are forfeited by the Recipient. If any dividend is declared on the Common Shares after the date on which Recipient ceases employment with the Company or its Affiliates, any related Dividend Equivalents (payable with respect to Restricted Shares that are not forfeited by the Recipient) shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be paid to the Recipient in cash or be paid by the Company to the KEYSOP (upon terms and conditions determined to be appropriate by the Committee). Any Dividend Equivalents paid to the KEYSOP shall accumulate in the KEYSOP and be subject to the terms and provisions of the KEYSOP. In this regard, the Committee shall invest such Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities and shall have the right to substitute, from time to time, other marketable securities of equal value for the securities originally purchased by the Committee.

3. Recipient shall have the right to purchase all or part of any fully vested Restricted Shares that Recipient exchanged with the Trust (the “Rights to Repurchase”). The Rights to Repurchase may be exercised with regard to vested shares in an amount at least equal to the lesser of 2,000 shares or the number of shares for any portion of an Award separately identified in Exchange Supplement B.

4. The Rights to Repurchase shall vest as shown on Exchange Supplement B which shall generally track the original vesting schedule for the Restricted Shares prior to the exchange herein. Subject to Section 7 hereof, the Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of 30 years from the applicable vesting date.

5. The exercise price of the Rights to Repurchase shall equal 25% of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares to be purchased by Recipient, as determined on the date on which the Restricted Shares were first exchanged into the Trust.

6. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to exchange some or all of the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase for Options (as defined in the KEYSOP) to acquire Designated Property (as defined in the KEYSOP) of reasonably equivalent value as of the date of the exchange as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion. The Recipient hereby agrees to execute any and all options, option agreements, exchange agreements and other documents, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any such exchange.

7. Subject to Section 13 hereof, if Recipient’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates is terminated for any reason (a “Termination of Employment”) before the vesting of the Rights to Repurchase, the Rights to Repurchase not theretofore vested shall terminate on the date of the Recipient’s Termination of Employment (the “Termination Date”). Recipient’s vested Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of time following the Termination Date equal to the lesser of:

  a. the expiration of the Post Termination Period (as hereinbelow defined), and

  b. Thirty (30) years after the applicable vesting date.

  For purposes hereof, the “Post Termination Period” means, as to the Recipient, the period commencing on the day immediately following the Termination Date and ending on the later of (i) one year from the Termination Date or (ii) the number of complete years of employment by the Recipient with the Company or its Affiliates through the Termination Date (provided, that, if the Recipient has completed at least ten (10) complete years of employment, as calculated hereunder, then such period shall end with respect to each Right to Repurchase thirty (30) years from the applicable vesting date). For purposes hereof, any period of employment of the Recipient that is less than one year shall be disregarded in calculating the Post Termination Period. In the event of any merger of any entity with and into the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any former employee of such merged entity who becomes an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, receive credit for all or a portion of such employee’s complete years of employment with such merged entity for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period hereunder. In the event that the Recipient was employed by the Company and there was a Termination of Employment with respect to such Recipient and later the Recipient became an employee of the Company again, then, unless a waiver (in writing) is granted to the Recipient by the Committee, for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period, only the complete years of employment of the Recipient immediately preceding the current Termination of Employment of the Recipient shall be considered (i.e. the Post Termination Period will be calculated based on the period beginning upon the date that such Recipient re-commenced employment with the Company and ending upon the date of his or her Termination of Employment). Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, (i) upon the date that is six months after the date of the death of the Recipient (the “Six Month Date”), and at any time thereafter, the Post Termination Period applicable to such Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase held by any person or entity other than the surviving spouse of the Recipient or a trust in which such surviving spouse is a then-living beneficiary (a “Specified Beneficiary”), including without limitation any such Rights to Repurchase that were originally held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date that are no longer so held due to the death of the surviving spouse or any subsequent transfer of such Rights to Repurchase, shall be equal to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period (as calculated above) and (B) one year from the Six Month Date, or if the Rights to Repurchase were held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date, one year from the first date thereafter that such Rights to Repurchase are no longer held by a Specified Beneficiary;


3




  and (ii) in the event that the Committee determines that any act or omission of the Recipient constitutes fraud or a violation of applicable law or any act or omission of the Recipient in connection with the business or affairs of the Company constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct (including, without limitation, any violation of a Company policy in any material respect), then the Committee in its sole discretion, may, upon delivery of written notice to the Recipient, reduce the Post Termination Period to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period and (B) sixty (60) days from the date that the Committee determines that the Recipient has committed such act or omission.

  Any unexercised Rights to Repurchase that are not exercised within the requisite time period prescribed in this Section 7 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

8. All initial capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

9. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

10. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid under any current or future law, such provision shall be fully separable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. In lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and the parties hereto request the court or any arbitrator to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform the otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision in accordance with this Section 10.

11. The Rights to Repurchase granted hereunder, to the extent permitted by law, may be assigned or pledged as follows:

  a. to the Recipient’s spouse or lineal descendants,

  b. to the trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants,

  c. to a partnership of which the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants are the only partners,

  d. to a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Any such assignment will be permitted only if an assignment is expressly approved in writing by the Committee, and the Recipient receives no consideration for the assignment, or


4





  e. to a lender reasonably acceptable to the Committee, so long as the pledge of such Rights to Repurchase does not alter the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Rights to Repurchase as in effect immediately prior to such pledge.

  Any such assignment or pledge will be evidenced by appropriate written documents in the form prescribed by the Committee executed by the requisite parties, and delivered to the Committee on or before the relevant effective date. In the event of such assignment or pledge the spouse, lineal descendant, trustee, partnership, tax exempt organization or lender will be entitled to all of the rights of the Recipient with respect to the assigned portion of the Right to Repurchase, and such portion of the Right to Repurchase, will continue to be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the original award of Restricted Shares, and as set forth in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the occurrence of any Termination of Employment and the calculation of any Post Termination Period shall continue to be made with reference to the assignor Recipient notwithstanding any permitted assignment or transfer hereunder.

12. The Restricted Shares and Rights to Repurchase covered by this Agreement shall be subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan (currently Section 7 of the Plan).

13. To the extent any provisions of this Agreement conflict with (i) the provisions of any employment agreement entered into between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and the Recipient, the terms of the employment agreement shall control or (ii) the terms of any written award document executed by the Company with respect to the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase (an “Award Agreement”), the terms of the Award Agreement shall control. To the extent that any such employment agreement or Award Agreement provides for the automatic or accelerated vesting of securities or derivative securities held by the Recipient upon the occurrence of a change of control, business combination or other enumerated event, any unvested Restricted Shares and the resultant Rights to Repurchase shall be governed by such provisions and shall vest on the terms and conditions set forth in such employment agreement or Award Agreement. Upon a “Change of Control” (as defined below) with respect to the Company, notwithstanding any provision of Section 7 hereof to the contrary, any unvested Rights to Repurchase of a Recipient hereunder that would otherwise vest (assuming no Termination of Employment with respect to such Recipient) within the six month period following such Change of Control shall automatically vest upon such Change of Control. For purposes hereof “Change of Control” shall mean any one or more of the following:

  a. any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of common shares of the Company) together with its “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined


5





    in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) makes a tender or exchange offer for or is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or has become the beneficial owner during the most recent twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

  b. during any period of two consecutive years (not including any period prior to the date hereof), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of trust managers of the Company, and any new trust managers (other than trust managers designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clauses a., c. or d. of this definition) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trust managers then still in office who either were trust managers at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; or

  c. the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other company other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 25% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

  d. the shareholders of the Company adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or approve an agreement for the sale, exchange or disposition by the Company of all or a significant portion of the Company’s assets. For purposes of this clause d., the term “the sale, exchange or disposition by the Company of all or a significant portion of the Company’s assets” shall mean a sale or other disposition transaction or series of related transactions involving assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (including the stock of any subsidiary of the Company) in which the value of the assets or stock being sold or otherwise disposed of as measured by the purchase price being paid therefore or by such other method as the Board determines is appropriate in a case where there is no readily ascertainable purchase price) constitutes more than 33-1/3% of the Fair Market Value of the Company (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “Fair Market Value of the Company” shall be the aggregate market value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) plus the aggregate market value of the Company’s other outstanding equity securities. The aggregate market value of the common shares of the


6





    Company shall be determined by multiplying the number of such common shares (on a fully diluted basis) outstanding on the date of the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction or series of related transactions (the “Transaction Date”) by the average closing price of such common shares for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Transaction Date. The aggregate market value of any other securities of the Company shall be determined in the foregoing manner or by such other method as the Board of trust managers shall determine is appropriate.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the time a Change in Control would otherwise be deemed to have occurred pursuant to the above provisions, the Board of trust managers determines otherwise.

14. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the acceleration of vesting of any Restricted Shares and resultant Rights to Repurchase of a Recipient (who is not then a party to an employment agreement with Employer) following a Change in Control, when aggregated with other payments or benefits to the Recipient, whether or not payable pursuant to this Agreement, would, as determined by tax counsel selected by the Company, result in “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as determined from time to time (the “Code)), such parachute payments or benefits provided to the Recipient under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the Recipient’s net after tax benefit (after taking into consideration all other payments made by the Company to the Recipient) shall exceed the net after tax benefit if such reduction were not made. “Net after tax benefit” shall mean the sum of (i) all payments and benefits which the Recipient receives or is then entitled to receive that would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for the year in which such payments and benefits shall be paid to the Participant (based upon the rate for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payment and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code.

15. In the event that a Termination of Employment shall occur to or with respect to a Recipient, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, charge the Costs of Administration (as herein defined) with respect to the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement (as well as any Rights to Repurchase granted to the Recipient and the Recipient’s rights under any Master Exchange Agreements entered into by the Company and the Recipient, as of or prior to the date hereof) to the Recipient (and any transferee or assignee of any of the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase) during any periods following the Recipient’s Termination of Employment and prior to the exercise by the Recipient of all of his or her Rights to Repurchase. For purposes hereof the “Costs of Administration” with respect to a Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s


7





  rights under this Agreement (as well as any Rights to Repurchase granted to the Recipient and the Recipient’s rights under any Master Exchange Agreements entered into by the Company and the Recipient, as of or prior to the date hereof) shall equal five thousand dollars ($5,000) per year; provided, that, beginning with calendar year 2004 and with respect to each calendar year thereafter, the Committee may increase the Costs of Administration in an amount equal to the increase in the CPI (as herein defined) as of January 1 of the particular year as compared to the CPI as of January 1 of the immediately preceding year. The Recipient and all transferees and assignees of the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase shall be jointly and severally liable for such Costs of Administration. The Committee may assess such Costs of Administration on an annual, quarterly or other basis. The Recipient and his or her transferees and assignees will pay such Costs of Administration no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor from the Committee. Without limiting any other remedies available to the Company, upon a failure by a Recipient or his or her transferees or assignees to timely pay any such Costs of Administration, (i) the Committee may cancel one or more of the Rights to Repurchase originally issued to the Recipient and deliver the underlying Company shares to the Company to fund such Costs of Administration and/or (ii) the Committee may withhold an amount equal to such Costs of Administration from the Dividend Equivalents otherwise payable to the Recipient or his transferees or assignees and apply such withheld Dividend Equivalents to the payment of the Costs of Administration. For purposes hereof “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Revised Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) all items (CPI-U), or if such index shall cease to be published such reasonably comparable commercially recognized, governmental or non-partisan alternative publication the Committee shall select.

16. The Committee, in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, allow the Recipient to exchange one or more non-qualified share options or incentive share options granted to the Recipient pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Share Incentive Plan or 2002 Share Incentive Plan or any subsequent share incentive plan of the Company (or any restricted shares received by the Recipient pursuant to the exercise of any such non-qualified share options or incentive share options) for one or more Rights to Repurchase upon terms and conditions approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

EXHIBIT 10.10

FORM OF MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
(Trust Managers)

        This Master Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) entered into this XX day of MONTH, YEAR by and between INSERT NAME (“Recipient”) and Camden Property Trust (the “Company”).

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the 2002 Share Incentive Plan of Camden Property Trust (such plan together with any successor plan is referred to herein as the “Plan”), the Recipient has and will receive awards of Restricted Shares as shown in Exchange Supplement A attached hereto which shall vest over time in accordance with the terms of the Plan and outlined on Exchange Supplement B;

        WHEREAS, Recipient desires to exchange his right to receive the unvested Restricted Shares upon vesting and all other rights appurtenant thereto for the Rights to Repurchase (as defined below);

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to exchange the Rights to Repurchase for the return of the Recipient’s unvested Restricted Shares;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


1. Recipient hereby agrees to exchange Recipient’s unvested Restricted Shares (including the right to receive dividends thereon and the right to vote such shares) for the Rights to Repurchase as described below.

2. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deposit Recipient’s Restricted Shares into a rabbi trust (the “Trust”) established by and for the benefit of the Company. The Trust shall be administered by an independent trustee who shall be selected by the Company. Unless otherwise agreed by Recipient and the Company, the Company agrees, whenever any dividend is declared on common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), to pay to the Recipient an amount per Restricted Share held hereunder as of such date(s) by the Trust equal to the amount per Common Share paid to the holders of record of Common Shares of the Company (the “Dividend Equivalents”). The Company and Recipient may agree that any Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares shall be paid to the Camden Property Trust Key Employee Share Option Plan (“KEYSOP”) instead of the Recipient. In such event, the Dividend Equivalents shall be paid into the KEYSOP on a quarterly basis and shall be subject to a six month vesting period beginning on the date that the Dividend Equivalents are deposited into the KEYSOP. The KEYSOP will invest the

 





  Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities selected at the discretion of the Committee appointed by the Board of trust managers of the Company pursuant to Article V of the KEYSOP (the “Committee”) and the Recipient will receive an option to purchase assets from the KEYSOP in accordance with the terms of the KEYSOP. Any such agreement to pay Dividend Equivalents to the KEYSOP shall be applicable with respect to Dividend Equivalents payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares during the following calendar year, and shall be irrevocable for those Dividend Equivalents. The Dividend Equivalents payable under this Section 2 shall be distributed directly to the Recipient via payroll or to the KEYSOP, as the case may be, on a quarterly basis. Upon the occurrence of any event that results in Recipient no longer being a trust manager of the Company (a “Termination Event”), no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable on any Restricted Shares that are forfeited by the Recipient. If any dividend is declared on the Common Shares after the occurrence of a Termination Event, any related Dividend Equivalents (payable with respect to Restricted Shares that are not forfeited by the Recipient) shall, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be paid to the Recipient in cash or be paid by the Company to the KEYSOP (upon terms and conditions determined to be appropriate by the Committee). Any Dividend Equivalents paid to the KEYSOP shall accumulate in the KEYSOP and be subject to the terms and provisions of the KEYSOP. In this regard, the Committee shall invest such Dividend Equivalents in marketable securities and shall have the right to substitute, from time to time, other marketable securities of equal value for the securities originally purchased by the Committee.

3. Recipient shall have the right to purchase all or part of any fully vested Restricted Shares that Recipient exchanged with the Trust (the “Rights to Repurchase”). The Rights to Repurchase may be exercised with regard to vested shares in an amount at least equal to the lesser of 2,000 shares or the number of shares for any portion of an Award separately identified in Exchange Supplement B.

4. The Rights to Repurchase shall vest as shown on Exchange Supplement B which shall generally track the original vesting schedule for the Restricted Shares prior to the exchange herein. Subject to Section 7 hereof, the Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of 30 years from the applicable vesting date.

5. The exercise price of the Rights to Repurchase shall equal 25% of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares to be purchased by Recipient, as determined on the date on which the Restricted Shares were first exchanged into the Trust.

6. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to exchange some or all of the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase for Options (as defined in the KEYSOP) to acquire Designated Property (as defined in the KEYSOP) of reasonably equivalent value as of the date of the exchange as determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion. The Recipient hereby agrees to execute any and all options, option agreements, exchange agreements and other documents, if any, that the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with any such exchange.

2





7. Subject to Section 13 hereof, if a Termination Event occurs before the vesting of the Rights to Repurchase, the Rights to Repurchase not theretofore vested shall terminate on the date of the Termination Event (the “Termination Date”). Recipient’s vested Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of time following the Termination Date equal to the lesser of:

  a. the expiration of the Post Termination Period (as hereinbelow defined), and

  b. Thirty (30) years after the applicable vesting date.

  For purposes hereof, the “Post Termination Period” means, as to the Recipient, the period commencing on the day immediately following the Termination Date and ending on the later of (i) one year from the Termination Date or (ii) the number of complete years of service by the Recipient as a trust manager of the Company through the Termination Date (provided, that, if the Recipient has completed at least ten (10) complete years of service as a trust manager, as calculated hereunder, then such period shall end with respect to each Right to Repurchase thirty (30) years from the applicable vesting date). For purposes hereof, any period of service by the Recipient as a trust manager that is less than one year shall be disregarded in calculating the Post Termination Period. In the event of any merger of any entity with and into the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any former trust manager or director of such merged entity who becomes a trust manager of the Company may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, receive credit for all or a portion of such trust manager’s or director’s complete years of service as a trust manager or director with such merged entity for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period hereunder. In the event that Recipient was a trust manager of the Company and there was a Termination Event with respect to such Recipient and later the Recipient became a trust manager of the Company again, then, unless a waiver (in writing) is granted to the Recipient by the Committee, for purposes of calculating the Post Termination Period, only the complete years of service by the Recipient as a trust manager immediately preceding the current Termination Event shall be considered (i.e. the Post Termination Period will be calculated based on the period beginning upon the date that such Recipient re-commenced service as a trust manager of the Company and ending upon the date of the later Termination Event). Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, (i) upon the date that is six months after the date of the death of Recipient (the “Six Month Date”), and at any time thereafter, the Post Termination Period applicable to such Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase held by any person or entity other than the surviving spouse of the Recipient or a trust in which such surviving spouse is a then-living beneficiary (a “Specified Beneficiary”), including without limitation any such Rights to Repurchase that were originally held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date that are no longer so held due to the death of the surviving spouse or any subsequent transfer of such Rights to Repurchase, shall be equal to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period (as calculated above) and (B) one year from the Six Month Date, or if the Rights to Repurchase were held by a Specified Beneficiary on the Six Month Date, one year from the first date thereafter that such Rights to Repurchase are no longer held by a Specified Beneficiary;

3





  and (ii) in the event that the Committee determines that any act or omission of the Recipient constitutes fraud or a violation of applicable law or any act or omission of the Recipient in connection with the business or affairs of the Company constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct (including, without limitation, any violation of a Company policy in any material respect), then the Committee in its sole discretion, may, upon delivery of written notice to the Recipient, reduce the Post Termination Period to the shorter of (A) the Post Termination Period and (B) sixty (60) days from the date that the Committee determines that the Recipient has committed such act or omission.

  Any unexercised Rights to Repurchase that are not exercised within the requisite time period prescribed in this Section 7 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

8. All initial capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

9. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

10. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid under any current or future law, such provision shall be fully separable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. In lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and the parties hereto request the court or any arbitrator to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform the otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision in accordance with this Section 10.

11. The Rights to Repurchase granted hereunder, to the extent permitted by law, may be assigned or pledged as follows:

  a. to the Recipient’s spouse or lineal descendants,

  b. to the trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants,

  c. to a partnership of which the Recipient’s spouse and/or lineal descendants are the only partners,

  d. to a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. Any such assignment will be permitted only if an assignment is expressly approved in writing by the Committee, and the Recipient receives no consideration for the assignment, or


4





  e. to a lender reasonably acceptable to the Committee, so long as the pledge of such Rights to Repurchase does not alter the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Rights to Repurchase as in effect immediately prior to such pledge.

  Any such assignment or pledge will be evidenced by appropriate written documents in the form prescribed by the Committee executed by the requisite parties, and delivered to the Committee on or before the relevant effective date. In the event of such assignment or pledge the spouse, lineal descendant, trustee, partnership, tax exempt organization or lender will be entitled to all of the rights of the Recipient with respect to the assigned portion of the Right to Repurchase, and such portion of the Right to Repurchase, will continue to be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the original award of Restricted Shares, and as set forth in the Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the occurrence of any Termination Event and the calculation of any Post Termination Period shall continue to be made with reference to the assignor Recipient notwithstanding any permitted assignment or transfer hereunder.

12. The Restricted Shares and Rights to Repurchase covered by this Agreement shall be subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the Plan (currently Section 7 of the Plan).

13. To the extent any provisions of this Agreement conflict with (i) the provisions of any employment agreement entered into between the Company or any subsidiary thereof and the Recipient, the terms of the employment agreement shall control or (ii) the terms of any written award document executed by the Company with respect to the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase (an “Award Agreement”), the terms of the Award Agreement shall control. To the extent that any such employment agreement or Award Agreement provides for the automatic or accelerated vesting of securities or derivative securities held by the Recipient upon the occurrence of a change of control, business combination or other enumerated event, any unvested Restricted Shares and the resultant Rights to Repurchase shall be governed by such provisions and shall vest on the terms and conditions set forth in such employment agreement or Award Agreement.

14. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the acceleration of vesting of any Restricted Shares and resultant Rights to Repurchase of a Recipient (who is not then a party to an employment agreement with Employer) following a change in control of the Company, when aggregated with other payments or benefits to the Recipient, whether or not payable pursuant to this Agreement, would, as determined by tax counsel selected by the Company, result in “excess parachute payments” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as determined from time to time (the “Code)), such parachute payments or benefits provided to the Recipient under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the Recipient’s net after tax benefit (after taking into consideration all other payments made by the Company to the Recipient) shall exceed the net after tax benefit if such reduction were not made. “Net after tax benefit” shall mean the sum of (i) all

5





  payments and benefits which the Recipient receives or is then entitled to receive that would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for the year in which such payments and benefits shall be paid to the Participant (based upon the rate for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payment and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code.

15. In the event that a Termination Event shall occur to or with respect to a Recipient, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, charge the Costs of Administration (as herein defined) with respect to the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement (as well as any Rights to Repurchase granted to the Recipient and the Recipient’s rights under any Master Exchange Agreements entered into by the Company and the Recipient, as of or prior to the date hereof) to the Recipient (and any transferee or assignee of any of the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase) during any periods following the Recipient’s Termination of Employment and prior to the exercise by the Recipient of all of his or her Rights to Repurchase. For purposes hereof the “Costs of Administration” with respect to a Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase and the Recipient’s rights under this Agreement (as well as any Rights to Repurchase granted to the Recipient and the Recipient’s rights under any Master Exchange Agreements entered into by the Company and the Recipient, as of or prior to the date hereof) shall equal five thousand dollars ($5,000) per year; provided, that, beginning with calendar year 2004 and with respect to each calendar year thereafter, the Committee may increase the Costs of Administration in an amount equal to the increase in the CPI (as herein defined) as of January 1 of the particular year as compared to the CPI as of January 1 of the immediately preceding year. The Recipient and all transferees and assignees of the Recipient’s Rights to Repurchase shall be jointly and severally liable for such Costs of Administration. The Committee may assess such Costs of Administration on an annual, quarterly or other basis. The Recipient and his or her transferees and assignees will pay such Costs of Administration no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor from the Committee. Without limiting any other remedies available to the Company, upon a failure by a Recipient or his or her transferees or assignees to timely pay any such Costs of Administration, (i) the Committee may cancel one or more of the Rights to Repurchase originally issued to the Recipient and deliver the underlying Company shares to the Company to fund such Costs of Administration and/or (ii) the Committee may withhold an amount equal to such Costs of Administration from the Dividend Equivalents otherwise payable to the Recipient or his transferees or assignees and apply such withheld Dividend Equivalents to the payment of the Costs of Administration. For purposes hereof “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Revised Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) all items (CPI-U), or if such index shall cease to be published such reasonably comparable commercially recognized, governmental or non-partisan alternative publication the Committee shall select.

16. The Committee, in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, allow the Recipient to exchange one or more non-qualified share options or incentive share options granted to the Recipient pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Share

6





  Incentive Plan or 2002 Share Incentive Plan or any subsequent share incentive plan of the Company (or any restricted shares received by the Recipient pursuant to the exercise of any such non-qualified share options or incentive share options) for one or more Rights to Repurchase upon terms and conditions approved by the Committee in its sole discretion.

        WHEREAS, the Partnership and the Series B Preferred Partners desire to amend the terms of the Series B Preferred Units (as defined in the Partnership Agreement, as defined below), to provide that, from and after the date hereof, the Series B Priority Return that accrues on such Series B Preferred Units shall accrue at the rate per annum of 7.0%, and from and after the date hereof, the holders of the Series B Preferred Units shall have certain additional voting rights as set forth herein;

        WHEREAS, the signatories hereto desire to amend that certain Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Camden Operating, L.P., dated as of April 15, 1997, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement ”), as set forth herein; any terms capitalized herein but not defined herein having the definitions therefor set forth in the Partnership Agreement;

        WHEREAS, the signatories hereto desire to cause an amendment to be made to that certain Statement of Designation of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest of Camden Property Trust, effective as of February 23, 1999, and filed with the office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas on February 24, 1999 (the “ Statement of Designation ”; the Partnership Agreement and the Statement of Designation as amended hereby are, collectively, the “ Amended Documents ”), as set forth herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises set forth herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree to continue the Partnership and amend the Amended Documents as follows:


 



         1.     Partnership Agreement . The Partnership Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

         (a)     Section 16.1 is hereby amended by deleting the term “8.50%” from the second sentence therein and inserting the term “7.00%” in lieu thereof.

         (b)     Section 16.2 is hereby amended by deleting the term “8.5%” therefrom and inserting the term “7.0%” in lieu thereof.

         (c)     Section 16.3A is hereby amended by deleting the term “8.5%” from the first sentence therein and inserting the term “7.0%” in lieu thereof.

         (d)     Section 16.6A is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the issuance date.” from the first sentence therein and replacing it with “December 2, 2008.”

         (e)     Section 16.7B is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the date hereof” from clause (iii)(A) the first sentence therein and replacing it with “December 2, 2008".

         (f)     Section 16.7 is hereby amended by inserting the following as new paragraph C after paragraph B therein:


          “C.        Certain Additional Voting Rights . So long as any Series B Preferred Units remain outstanding, CPT shall solicit the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Series B Preferred Units outstanding at the time, prior to (i) consummating any transaction or series of transactions which would result in a Change of Control of CPT or the Partnership, (ii) consummating any transaction or series of transactions which would result in the common shares of CPT or any successor entity of CPT ceasing to be listed on at least one of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market (or, in each case, a successor thereto) or (iii) electing not to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 et seq. of the Code. For the purposes of this Section 16.7, “Change of Control” shall mean: (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or CPT, as the case may be, to an entity that is not an Affiliate of CPT; or (ii) any consolidation, amalgamation, merger, business combination, share exchange, reorganization or similar transaction involving the Partnership or CPT, as the case may be, pursuant to which the Partners of the Partnership or the stockholders of CPT, as the case may be, immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction will own less than a majority of the equity interest in the entity surviving such transaction. If the requisite holders of the Series B Preferred Units fail to approve any of the CPT actions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 16.7C (each a “ Mandatory Redemption Event ”) and CPT still effectuates such action, then the sole remedy of the holders of Series B Preferred Units shall be that the Partnership shall immediately redeem all of


2




the Series B Preferred Units outstanding at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the Capital Account balance of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units or, if greater, the original Capital Contribution of such holders plus the current Series B Priority Return, whether or not declared, to the date of such redemption to the extent not previously distributed; provided, however , that notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the actions specified in clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 16.7C shall not constitute a Mandatory Redemption Event if, on or prior to the date of the consummation of such transaction or transactions, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) promulgated under the Securities Act) shall have affirmed the rating accorded the securities of CPT immediately prior to the public announcement of such transaction or transactions, or shall have upgraded such rating (or, if CPT is not the surviving entity in such transaction or transactions, affirmed that the rating of the securities of the successor to CPT shall be at least equal to the rating accorded the securities of CPT immediately prior to the public announcement of such transaction or transactions). The date of such redemption shall be the date of the Mandatory Redemption Event.”


         (g)     Section 16.9A.(i) is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the date of issuance” from the first sentence therein and inserting the phrase “January 1, 2013” in lieu thereof.

         (h)     Section 16.9A.(i) is hereby further amended by deleting the term “8.5%” from the first sentence therein and inserting the term “7.0%” in lieu thereof.

         (i)     Section 16.9A.(i) is hereby further amended by deleting the phrase “the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the issuance date” from the second sentence therein and inserting the phrase “January 1, 2013” in lieu thereof.

         (j)     Except as amended by the provisions hereof, the Agreement, as previously amended, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and is hereby ratified, confirmed and reaffirmed by the undersigned for all purposes and in all respects.

         2.     The parties hereto hereby authorize and direct CPT (and its board of trust managers) to amend the Statement of Designation in accordance with the amendment to the Statement of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such amendment to the Statement of Designation shall be effective December 1, 2003 and shall be filed with the office of the County Clerk of Harris County, Texas as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event by December 5, 2003.

         3.     The Partnership hereby agrees that the obligations of the Partnership contained in Section 4(d) and Section 4(i) of that certain Contribution Agreement, dated as of February 23, 1999, by and among Belcrest, Belair, the Partnership and CPT shall be extended through December 31, 2004.

         4.     As soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Amendment by the Series B Partners, such Series B Partners shall return all of the certificates representing outstanding Series B Preferred Units to the Partnership. As soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Partnership of such certificates, the Partnership shall reissue such certificates to reflect the terms of Series B Preferred Units, as amended hereby.

EXHIBIT 13.1

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and trends which might appear should not be taken as being indicative of future operations.

        We have made statements in this report that are “forward-looking” in that they do not discuss historical fact, but instead note future expectations, projections, intentions or other items relating to the future. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements as they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. Many of those factors are noted in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in the text. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ include:


o the results of our efforts to implement our property development, construction and acquisition strategies;
o the effects of economic conditions, including rising interest rates;
o our ability to generate sufficient cash flows;
o the failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust;
o the costs of our capital and debt;
o changes in our capital requirements;
o the actions of our competitors and our ability to respond to those actions;
o the performance of our mezzanine financing program;
o changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters; and
o environmental uncertainties and disasters.

        Do not rely on these forward-looking statements, which only represent our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Business

        Camden Property Trust is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and, with our subsidiaries, reports as a single business segment with activities related to the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities. As of December 31, 2003, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 146 multifamily properties containing 52,346 apartment homes located in ten states. Two of our newly developed multifamily apartment properties containing 786 apartment homes were in lease-up at year end. Two of our multifamily properties containing 1,002 apartment homes were under development at December 31, 2003, including 464 apartment homes owned through a joint venture. Additionally, we have several sites that we intend to develop into multifamily apartment communities.

        Our 2003 results reflect the difficult operating fundamentals in our industry, including an oversupply of multifamily housing; low interest rates on mortgage debt, which continue to make home purchases attractive; and a slow economic recovery. During 2003, apartment turnover due to home purchases was at the highest level in our history. Despite these challenges, overall occupancy in our portfolio increased during 2003. The increase in occupancy was achieved in part by offering higher concessions in many of our markets. As a result, we experienced a 1.3% decline in revenues from our same-store communities during the year. Total revenues for 2003 increased slightly as income from newly developed communities offset the decline in revenues from our same-store communities and 2002 dispositions.

 




        We continued to focus on expense control in 2003. Expenses at our same-store communities increased 4.7% during 2003, after increasing only 1.1% in 2002. The increase in 2003 expenses was driven by increases in property insurance expense, real estate taxes, repair and maintenance costs and normal increases in employee related expenses. We were able to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment in 2003, and these savings should continue, as we replace maturing debt with new lower cost debt.

        Although we expect 2004 to remain a challenging economic environment, we believe we are well positioned for growth. Our average borrowing costs should continue to decline as a result of the replacement of higher priced maturing debt. Additionally, our operating results should be positively impacted by the increase in the occupancy levels of our portfolio and, increases in contributions from our California and Houston development properties.

Property Update

        During 2003, stabilization was achieved at three communities totaling 878 apartment homes as follows: Camden Ybor City in Tampa, Florida, a 454 apartment home community that was acquired in the second quarter of 2002; Camden Vineyards in Murrieta, California, which completed construction of 264 apartment homes in the fourth quarter of 2002; and Camden Tuscany in San Diego, California, which completed construction of 160 apartment homes in the third quarter of 2003. We consider a property stabilized once it reaches 90% occupancy, or generally one year from opening the leasing office, with some allowances for larger than average properties.

        During 2003, we also completed construction of Camden Sierra at Otay Ranch, a 422 apartment home community located in Chula Vista, California, which we expect will stabilize operations during the first quarter of 2004, and Camden Oak Crest, a 364 apartment home community in Houston, Texas, which we expect will stabilize operations during the second quarter of 2004. Additionally, we continued construction at Camden Harbor View, a 538 apartment home community in Long Beach, California, which we expect to complete and stabilize in 2004. We also began construction on one property, Camden Westwind, a 464 apartment home community in Ashburn, Virginia. This property is owned by a joint venture in which we own a 20% interest.

        As of December 31, 2003, we had operating properties in 16 markets. No single market contributed more than 15% of our net operating income for the year then ended. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Houston, Dallas and Las Vegas contributed 14.4%, 13.9% and 13.8%, respectively, of our net operating income. We continually evaluate our portfolio to ensure appropriate geographic diversification in order to manage our risk of market concentration. We seek to selectively dispose of assets that management believes are highly capital intensive, have a lower projected net operating income growth rate than the overall portfolio, or no longer conform to our operating and investment strategies. In connection with this strategy, three communities with 482 apartment homes, which were held through joint ventures, were sold during 2003.

        Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes that are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of properties, are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.

        Where possible, we stage our construction to allow leasing and occupancy during the construction period, which we believe minimizes the duration of the lease-up period following completion of construction. Our accounting policy related to properties in the development and leasing phase is that all operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes are expensed against revenues generated by those apartment homes.

        If an event or change in circumstance indicates that a potential impairment in the value of a property has occurred, our policy is to assess any potential impairment by making a comparison of the current and projected cash flows for such property over its remaining holding period, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. If such carrying amounts were in excess of the estimated projected cash flows of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair market value.

        Our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2003 included $189.1 million related to wholly owned properties under development. Of this amount, $64.9 million relates to our one project currently under development, Camden Harbor View. Additionally, we have $124.2 million invested in land held for future development. Included in this amount is $54.0 million related to projects we expect to begin constructing in early 2004. We also have $37.6 million invested in land tracts adjacent to current development projects, which are being utilized in conjunction with those projects. Upon completion of these development projects, we expect to utilize this land to further develop apartment homes in these areas. We may also sell certain parcels of these undeveloped land tracts to third parties for commercial and retail development.

        We have completed construction of 17 for-sale townhomes in the downtown Dallas area at a total cost of approximately $5.5 million. During 2001 and 2002, we sold five and eight units, respectively, at a total sales price of approximately $1.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. During 2003, we sold the four remaining units at a total sales price of approximately $1.3 million. The proceeds received from these townhome sales are included in other revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Other expenses in our consolidated statements of operations represent the construction costs and marketing expenses associated with the townhomes.

        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, our investments in various geographic areas, excluding investments in joint ventures, were as follows:

Third-Party Construction Services

        Our construction division performs services for our internally developed construction pipeline, as well as provides construction management and general contracting services for third-party owners of multifamily, commercial and retail properties. We are currently under contract on projects ranging from $0.7 million to $17.1 million. We earn fees on these projects ranging from 4% to 7% of the total contracted construction cost which we recognize when they are earned. Fees earned from third-party construction projects totaled



6




$2.6 million, $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are included in revenues in our consolidated statements of operations under “Fee and asset management.” For projects where our fee is based on a fixed price, any cost overruns, as compared to the original budget, incurred during construction will reduce the fee generated on those projects. For any project where cost overruns are expected to be in excess of the fee generated on the project, we will recognize the total expected loss in the period in which the loss is first estimated. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded cost overruns of $2.0 million on fixed fee projects, which represented the estimate of our remaining costs to complete the projects. These cost overruns are included in fee and asset management expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Structure

        We intend to maintain what management believes to be a conservative capital structure by:


(i) using what management believes is a prudent combination of debt and common and preferred equity;
(ii) extending and sequencing the maturity dates of our debt where possible;
(iii) managing interest rate exposure using what management believes are prudent levels of fixed and floating rate debt;
(iv) borrowing on an unsecured basis in order to maintain a substantial number of unencumbered assets; and
(v) maintaining conservative coverage ratios.

        Our interest expense coverage ratio, net of capitalized interest, was 2.9, 3.3 and 3.4 times for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. At December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, 85.1%, 83.8% and 80.4%, respectively, of our properties (based on invested capital) were unencumbered. Our weighted average maturity of debt, excluding our line of credit, was 6.5 years, 6.7 years and 6.9 years at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest expense coverage ratio is derived by dividing interest expense for the period into the sum of income from continuing operations before gain on sale of properties, equity in income of joint ventures and minority interests, depreciation, amortization, interest expense and income from discontinued operations.

Liquidity

        We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash flows provided by operations, our unsecured line of credit discussed in the “Financial Flexibility” section and other short-term borrowings. We expect that our ability to generate cash will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs, which include:


(i) operating expenses;
(ii) current debt service requirements;
(iii) recurring capital expenditures;
(iv) initial funding of property developments, acquisitions and mezzanine financings;
(v) common share repurchases; and
(vi) distributions on our common and preferred equity.


7




        We consider our long-term liquidity requirements to be the repayment of maturing debt, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit that were used to fund development and acquisition activities. We intend to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the use of common and preferred equity capital, senior unsecured debt and property dispositions. We expect to use the proceeds from any property sales for reinvestment in acquisitions or new developments or reduction of debt.

        We intend to concentrate our growth efforts toward selective development and acquisition opportunities in our current markets, and through the acquisition of existing operating properties and the development of properties in selected new markets. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we incurred $80.0 million in development costs and no acquisition costs. We currently have one wholly owned property under construction at a projected aggregate cost of approximately $144.5 million, $138.5 million of which had been incurred through 2003. We expect to complete construction on this property in 2004. At year end, we were obligated for approximately $3.0 million under construction contracts related to this project (a substantial amount of which we expect to fund with our unsecured line of credit). We intend to fund our developments and acquisitions through a combination of equity capital, partnership units, medium-term notes, construction loans, other debt securities and our unsecured line of credit.

        Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $138.0 million for 2003, a decrease of $44.2 million, or 24.3%, from 2002. Income from continuing operations before gain on sale of properties, equity in income of joint ventures, minority interests, depreciation and amortization for 2003 decreased $12.9 million from 2002. This decrease was due primarily to an increase in total expenses of $23.2 million for 2003 as compared to 2002 with an increase in revenues of only $5.6 million during the same period. Additionally, as a result of timing on our construction and development projects, cash flows from changes in accounts payable decreased $10.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to an increase of $22.6 million during 2002.

        Net cash used in investing activities totaled $91.9 million for the year ended 2003 compared to $220.8 million in 2002. For 2003, expenditures for property development and capital improvements totaled $80.0 million and $22.3 million, respectively. Also, notes receivable increased $23.8 million due to increases in amounts funded under our mezzanine financing program. These expenditures were offset by $26.3 million in net proceeds received from townhome sales, the sale of 61.1 acres of undeveloped land, and the contribution of a property to a joint venture during 2003. Additionally, distributions from joint ventures totaled $8.9 million during 2003 due to the sale of three properties totaling 482 apartment homes. For the year ended 2002, expenditures for acquisitions, property development and capital improvements were $248.8 million, $124.2 million and $33.7 million, respectively. These expenditures were offset by $127.8 million in net proceeds received from the sales of properties, including properties included in discontinued operations and townhome sales, and a net decrease in investments in third-party development properties of $70.0 million. Additionally, notes receivable increased $17.6 million due primarily to mezzanine financings related to property sales.

        Net cash used in financing activities totaled $43.1 million for the year ended 2003 compared to net cash provided of $35.8 million for 2002. During 2003, we paid distributions totaling $121.1 million to holders of common and preferred equity. We received net proceeds of $198.8 million from the issuance of senior unsecured notes in 2003. The proceeds from this issuance were used to pay down borrowings under our line of credit, which decreased $49.0 million during the year, repay $67.9 million in notes payable, and fund our development activities. Additionally, accounts receivable — affiliates increased $18.1 million during 2003 due to an increase in receivables from rabbi trust plan participants under our employee benefit plans. For the year ended 2002, we paid distributions totaling $123.4 million to holders of common and preferred equity. We received net proceeds totaling $365.5 million from the issuance of senior unsecured and secured notes in 2002. The proceeds from these issuances were used to pay down borrowings under our line of

credit, which decreased $61.0 million during the year, repay $85.1 million in notes payable, repurchase $62.7 million in common shares and units, and fund our acquisition and development activities.

        In 1998, we began repurchasing our common equity securities under a program approved by our Board of Trust Managers. To date, the Board has authorized us to repurchase or redeem up to $250 million of our securities through open market purchases and private transactions. Management consummates these repurchases and redemptions at the time when they believe that we can reinvest available cash flow into our own securities at yields that exceed those currently available on direct real estate investments. These repurchases were made and we expect that future repurchases, if any, will be made without incurring additional debt and, in management’s opinion, without reducing our financial flexibility. At December 31, 2003, we had repurchased approximately 8.8 million common shares and redeemed approximately 106,000 units convertible into common shares at a total cost of $243.6 million. No common shares or units convertible into common shares were repurchased during 2003.

        On January 16, 2004, we paid a distribution of $0.635 per share for the fourth quarter of 2003 to all holders of record of our common shares as of December 19, 2003, and paid an equivalent amount per unit to holders of common units in Camden Operating, L.P. and Oasis Martinique, LLC. Total distributions to common shareholders and holders of common units for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $2.54 per share or unit. We determine the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders in accordance with the operating agreements and have made and intend to continue to make distributions to the holders of common units in amounts equivalent to the per share distributions paid to holders of common shares. We intend to continue to make shareholder distributions in accordance with REIT qualification requirements under the federal tax code. The dividend payout ratio, which is calculated by dividing distributions per share by funds from operations per share, was 83%, 75% and 69% for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Management intends to maintain a dividend rate for our common shares that, when combined with expenditures for capital improvements, is less than our funds from operations.

        Our operating partnership has issued $100 million of 7.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units and $53 million of 8.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. Distributions on the preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears. The Series B preferred units are redeemable beginning in 2008 and the Series C preferred units are redeemable beginning in 2004, in each case by the operating partnership for cash at par plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions. The preferred units are convertible beginning in 2009 by the holder into a fixed number of corresponding Series B or C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares. The preferred units are subordinate to present and future debt. Effective December 1, 2003, we amended the terms of the Series B preferred units, which are described above. We did not record any charges to earnings in connection with this amendment. Distributions on the preferred units totaled $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

(a)   Debt maturities in 2004 are at a weighted average interest rate of 7.1% and will be repaid using proceeds available under our unsecured line of credit

        The joint ventures in which we have an interest have been funded with secured, third-party debt. We are not committed to any additional funding on third-party debt in relation to our joint ventures.

Financial Flexibility

        We have a $500 million unsecured line of credit that matures in August 2006. The scheduled interest rate is currently based on spreads over LIBOR or Prime. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $250 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit provides us with additional liquidity to pursue development and acquisition opportunities, as well as lower our overall cost of funds. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in compliance with at December 31, 2003.

        Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available to us. At December 31, 2003, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $12.4 million.

        As an alternative to our unsecured line of credit, we from time to time borrow using competitively bid unsecured short-term notes with lenders who may or may not be a part of the unsecured line of credit bank group. Such borrowings vary in term and pricing and are typically priced at interest rates below those available under the unsecured line of credit.

        As of December 31, 2003, we had $440.6 million available under our unsecured line of credit. In February 2003, we filed a universal shelf registration statement providing for the issuance of up to $1.0 billion in debt securities, preferred shares, common shares or warrants. This registration statement was combined with the $85.5 million remaining from our previous $750 million universal shelf. At December 31, 2003, $885.5 million was available for future issuances. We have significant unencumbered real estate assets that could be sold or used as collateral for financing purposes, should other sources of capital not be available.

        The following table summarizes our unsecured notes payable issued during 2003 from our $1.1 billion universal shelf:

$200.0 million senior unsecured notes   12/03   Interest only   5.375%   12/15/13   December 15   $198.9 million  

        We may redeem the notes at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and accrued interest, plus a make-whole provision. The notes are direct, senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. We used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured line of credit.

        During 2003, we paid $50.0 million of maturing unsecured notes payable. These notes had an interest rate of 7.0% and were repaid using proceeds from our unsecured line of credit. Additionally, we repaid two conventional mortgage notes totaling $13.2 million. These notes had interest rates of 7.5% and 7.7% and were repaid using proceeds available under our unsecured line of credit.

        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt was 2.2% and 2.6%, respectively.

Market Risk

        We use fixed and floating rate debt to finance acquisitions, developments and maturing debt. These transactions expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. Management’s policy is to review our borrowings and attempt to mitigate interest rate exposure through the use of long-term debt maturities and derivative instruments, where appropriate. As of December 31, 2003, we had no derivative instruments outstanding.

        For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not impact net income to common shareholders or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact net income to common shareholders and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

        At December 31, 2003, we had fixed rate debt of $1,385.1 million and floating rate debt of $124.6 million. Holding other variables constant (such as debt levels), a one percentage point variance in interest rates would change the unrealized fair market value of the fixed rate debt by approximately $62.8 million. The net income available to common shareholders and cash flows impact on the next year resulting from a one percentage point variance in interest rates on floating rate debt would be approximately $1.2 million, holding all other variables constant.

Results of Operations

        Changes in revenues and expenses related to our operating properties from period to period are due primarily to property developments, acquisitions, dispositions, and changes in the performance of the stabilized properties in our portfolio. Where appropriate, comparisons are made on a dollars-per-weighted-average-apartment home basis in order to adjust for changes in the number of apartment homes owned during each period.

2003 Compared to 2002

        Income from continuing operations decreased $12.8 million, or 30.4%, from $42.3 million to $29.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in income from continuing operations was due to many factors, which included, but were not limited to, decreases in property net operating income combined with increases in interest costs and depreciation. Our primary financial focus for our apartment communities is net operating income. Net operating income represents total property revenues less total property expenses. Net operating income decreased $5.8 million, or 2.3%, from $246.6 million to $240.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

        Total property revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased 1.8% as compared to 2002, but decreased from $727 to $725 on a per apartment home per month basis. Total property revenues from our same-store properties decreased 1.3%, from $361.4 million for 2002 to $356.6 million for 2003, which represents a decrease of $9 on a per apartment home per month basis. For same-store properties, rental rates on a per apartment home per month basis increased $14 from 2002 to 2003, and vacancy loss decreased $6 per apartment home over the same period. These increases in revenues were offset by increases in concessions granted which increased $30 per apartment home per month from 2002 to 2003. One of our primary objectives in 2003 was to increase occupancy rates at our same-store properties, which began the year at approximately 90.9% occupied and rose to approximately 94.5% occupied at December 31, 2003. Related to this increase, concessions granted during 2003 at our same-store properties increased approximately $15.3 million from 2002.

        Property revenues from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties increased from $26.3 million for 2002 to $46.4 million for 2003 due to the completion and stabilization of properties in our development pipeline. The decrease in property revenues from 2002 to 2003 attributable to property dispositions was $8.2 million.

        Fee and asset management revenues during the year ended December 31, 2003 increased $1.0 million over 2002. This increase was due primarily to fees earned on third-party construction and development projects. Other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased $2.5 million from 2002. Other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 included $5.3 million of interest income from our third-party development program. This program was completed in 2002. Other revenues for 2003 included approximately $3.9 million of interest income related to our mezzanine financing program, which we began in the third quarter of 2002. Interest income from this program totaled $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2002.

        Total property expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased $12.8 million, or 8.6%, as compared to 2002, and increased from $3,297 to $3,509 on an annualized per apartment home basis. Total property expenses from our same-store properties increased 4.7%, from $136.7 million for 2002 to $143.2 million for 2003, which represents an increase of $153 on an annualized per apartment home basis. The increase in same-store property expenses per apartment home was due primarily to increases in property insurance premiums, salary expenses, repair and maintenance expenses and slight increases in all other expense categories. Property expenses from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties increased from $10.3 million for 2002 to $19.1 million for 2003. The increase in operating expenses during 2003 from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties was consistent with the growth in revenues during the same period. The decrease in property expenses from 2002 to 2003 attributable to property dispositions was $2.4 million.

        Property management expense, which represents regional supervision and accounting costs related to property operations, increased from $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to increases in salary and benefit expenses.

        Fee and asset management expense, which represents expenses related to third-party construction projects and property management for third parties, increased from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was due primarily to increased costs associated with our third-party construction division, including cost overruns on fixed fee projects that totaled $2.0 million for 2003. See further discussion of our third-party construction in our “Business” section.

        General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million from $14.4 million in 2002 to $16.2 million in 2003, and increased as a percent of revenues from 3.5% to 3.9%. The increase was due primarily to increases in salary and benefit expenses, costs associated with pursuing potential transactions that were not consummated and increases in public company related costs.

        Gross interest cost before interest capitalized to development properties increased $8.1 million, or 9.8%, from $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $90.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The overall increase in interest expense was due to higher average debt balances during 2003 that were incurred to fund our increase in real estate assets. This increase was partially offset by declines in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt, due to declines in variable interest rates and savings from maturing debt. Interest capitalized increased from $10.9 million to $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, due to higher average balances in our development pipeline.

        Depreciation and amortization increased from $103.3 million for 2002 to $108.1 million for 2003. Total real estate assets have increased approximately $276.3 million since January 1, 2002 due to construction efforts at our new development properties, property acquisitions and capital improvements, partially offset by property dispositions. The increase in amortization was due primarily to costs related to new debt financings that were issued in late 2002 and 2003.

        Gain on sale of properties for the year ended December 31, 2003 was from the sale of 61.1 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston. Gain on sale of properties for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $0.4 million due primarily to the sale of 6.7 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston. During 2002, we also sold two properties with 786 apartment homes in Las Vegas and Reno and 58.6 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to those properties.

        Equity in income of joint ventures increased $2.8 million from 2002, primarily from gains recognized on sale of properties held in joint ventures. Our portion of the gain recognized on these property sales totaled $1.4 million during 2003.

2002 Compared to 2001

        Income from continuing operations decreased $16.0 million, or 27.5%, from $58.3 million to $42.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The weighted average number of apartment homes increased by 1,301 apartment homes, or 2.9%, from 44,164 to 45,465 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the weighted average number of apartment homes was due primarily to the acquisition of 1,662 apartment homes and an increase in occupancy at our newly constructed properties. We had 122 and 124 wholly owned operating properties at December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The weighted average number of apartment homes and the number of operating properties exclude the impact of our ownership interest in properties owned in joint ventures, and the impact from properties classified as discontinued operations.

        Our apartment communities generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of apartment homes. Revenues from our rental operations comprised 96% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. Our primary financial focus for our apartment communities is net operating income. Net operating income represents total property revenues less total property expenses. Net operating income decreased $5.2 million, or 2.1%, from $251.8 million to $246.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Net operating income from our stabilized communities, which represents properties owned and stabilized as of January 1, 2001, decreased $10.6 million, or 4.7% from



14




$224.2 million to $213.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. This decrease was offset by increases in net operating income from our newly developed and acquired properties.

        Rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased slightly from the year ended December 31, 2001. Rental revenues per apartment home per month decreased $20, or 2.9%, from $691 to $671 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to higher concessions granted and higher vacancy rates in the majority of our markets during 2002. Overall average occupancy decreased from 94.2% for the year ended December 31, 2001 to 92.2% for the year ended December 31, 2002.

        Other property revenues increased $1.9 million from $28.7 million to $30.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, which represents a monthly increase of $2 per apartment home. This increase in other property revenues was due primarily to increases in miscellaneous property fees, as well as increases in cable and water revenues.

        Fee and asset management revenues for 2002 decreased $1.5 million from 2001. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in fees earned from our investments in third-party development projects in 2002.

        Other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 decreased $0.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was due primarily to decreases in interest income related to our investments in third-party development projects partially offset by increases in revenues from townhome sales.

        Property operating and maintenance expenses increased $5.8 million or 5.6%, from $103.2 million to $108.9 million, and increased as a percent of total property income from 26.1% to 27.5% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The increase in property operating and maintenance expenses as a percent of property income was due primarily to a decline in rental income from our stabilized communities combined with an increase in operating expenses. On an annualized basis, property operating and maintenance expenses increased $60 per unit, or 2.6%. This increase was due primarily to increases in salary and benefit expenses and a 33.7% increase in property insurance expenses.

        Real estate taxes increased $1.2 million from $39.8 million to $41.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, which represents an annual increase of $2 per apartment home. The increase was due primarily to increases in the valuations of properties and increases in property tax rates.

        Property management expense, which represents regional supervision and accounting costs related to property operations, increased from $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was due primarily to increases in salary and benefit expenses.

        Fee and asset management expense, which represents expenses related to third-party construction projects and property management for third parties, increased from $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was due primarily to increased costs associated with our third-party construction division. See further discussion of our third-party construction in our “Business” section.

        General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, from $12.5 million in 2001 to $14.4 million in 2002, and increased as a percent of revenues from 3.0% to 3.5%. The increase was due primarily to increases in salary and benefit expenses, including long-term incentive compensation costs, increases in costs associated with pursuing potential transactions that were not consummated and information technology expenses.



15




        Other expenses, which represent the construction costs associated with the townhomes sold during the year, increased $1.3 million, from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. During 2002, we sold eight townhomes, compared with five townhome sales in 2001.

        Gross interest cost before interest capitalized to development properties increased $1.7 million, or 2.0%, from $80.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The overall increase in interest expense was due to higher average debt balances in 2002, offset by lower average interest rates on our floating rate debt. Interest capitalized remained constant at $10.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

        Depreciation and amortization increased from $99.6 million to $103.3 million. This increase was due to increases in real estate assets resulting from new development, property acquisitions and capital improvements during the past two years.

        Gain on sale of properties for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $0.4 million due primarily to the sale of 6.7 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston. During 2002, we also sold two properties with 786 apartment homes and 58.6 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to those properties. We will continue to manage these two properties for a third party and therefore have included the gain resulting from this sale, which totaled approximately $18,000, in “Gain on sale of properties.” Gain on sale of properties for the year ended December 31, 2001 totaled $2.4 million due primarily to the sale of 22.7 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston.

        Equity in income of joint ventures decreased $8.2 million from the year ended 2001, primarily from gains recognized in one of our joint ventures from the sale of three properties totaling 1,264 apartment homes in 2001. The gains from these properties, which are located in North Carolina and Dallas, totaled $6.6 million for year ended December 31, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2002, one property with 300 apartment homes was sold, resulting in a gain of $37,000.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

        Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion at the beginning of the period of all dilutive convertible securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into common equity. We consider FFO to be a useful performance measure of our operating performance because FFO, together with net income and cash flows, provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders and unitholders.

        We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Furthermore, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation.

        The reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO and the calculation of diluted FFO for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

Inflation

        We lease apartments under lease terms generally ranging from 6 to 13 months. Management believes that such short-term lease contracts lessen the impact of inflation due to the ability to adjust rental rates to market levels as leases expire.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

        The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued guidance for the disclosure of “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The more significant of these policies relate to cost capitalization and asset impairment, which are discussed in the “Property Update” section, and income recognition, capital expenditures and notes receivable collectibility that are further discussed below.

         Income recognition. Our rental and other property income is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property income consists primarily of utility rebillings, and administrative, application and other transactional fees charged to our residents. Interest, fee and asset management and all other sources of income are recognized as earned.

         Capital expenditures. We capitalize renovation and improvement costs that we believe extend the economic lives and enhance the earnings of the related assets. Capital expenditures, including carpet, appliances and HVAC unit replacements, subsequent to initial construction are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years.



17




         Notes receivable. We evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal of each of our notes receivable. If we identify that the borrower is unable to perform their duties under the notes receivable or that the operations of the property do not support the continued recognition of interest income or the carrying value of the loan, we would then cease income recognition and record an impairment charge against the loan.

        The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, results of operations during the reporting periods and related disclosures. Our estimates relate to determining the allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions, developments and the carrying value of our assets, reserves related to co-insurance requirements under our property, general liability and employee benefit insurance programs and estimates of expected losses of variable interest entities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that the assets and results of operations of any communities that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements in both current and prior periods presented. Real estate to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Depreciation expense is not recorded during the period in which such assets are considered held for sale.

        In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Among other corrections, SFAS No. 145 requires gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary only if they meet the criteria set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. Our adoption of SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for periods ending after December 15, 2002. Our application of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Our adoption of the prospective method set forth in SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See further discussion of our accounting for stock-based compensation in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.



18




        In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FIN 46”), which was revised in December 2003. This interpretation requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. This interpretation is effective for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Our application of FIN 46 will not require the consolidation of any additional entities.

        In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150, as amended, is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of Camden Property Trust

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Camden Property Trust and subsidiaries (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Camden Property Trust and subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002 the Trust changed its method of accounting for the impairment and disposal of long-lived assets to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Business

        Camden Property Trust is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized on May 25, 1993. We, with our subsidiaries, report as a single business segment, with activities related to the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities. As of December 31, 2003, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 146 multifamily properties containing 52,346 apartment homes located ten states. At December 31, 2003, we had two recently completed multifamily properties containing 786 apartment homes in lease-up. Two of our multifamily properties containing 1,002 apartment homes were under development at December 31, 2003, including 464 apartment homes owned through a joint venture. Additionally, we have several sites that we intend to develop into multifamily apartment communities.

        As of December 31, 2003, we had operating properties in 16 markets. No one market contributed more than 15% of our net operating income for the year then ended. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Houston, Dallas and Las Vegas contributed 14.4%, 13.9% and 13.8%, respectively, of our net operating income.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include our assets, liabilities and operations and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries and partnerships in which our aggregate ownership is greater than 50% and we exercise elements of control. Those entities owned 50% or less where significant influence is in effect are accounted for using the equity method. Those entities owned less than 50% where significant influence is not exercised are accounted for using the cost method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FIN 46”), which was revised in December 2003. This interpretation requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. This interpretation is effective for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Our application of FIN 46 will not require the consolidation of any additional entities.

         Use of Estimates. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, results of operations during the reporting periods and related disclosures. Our estimates relate to determining the allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions, developments and the carrying value of our assets, reserves related to co-insurance requirements under our property, general liability and employee benefit insurance programs and estimates of expected losses of variable interest entities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Reportable Segments. FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about an enterprise’s reportable segments. We have determined that we have one reportable segment, with activities related to the ownership, development and management of multifamily communities. Our apartment communities generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of apartment homes, which comprised 97%, 96% and 96% of our total consolidated revenues for the



25




years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Although our multifamily communities are geographically diversified throughout the United States, management evaluates operating performance on an individual property level. Where appropriate, we provide information about our real estate portfolio on a geographic basis in order to illustrate the concentration of market risk associated with our portfolio.

         Operating Partnership and Minority Interests. Approximately 25% of our multifamily apartment units at December 31, 2003 were held in Camden Operating, L.P. This operating partnership has issued both common and preferred limited partnership units. As of December 31, 2003, we held 83.1% of the common limited partnership units and the sole 1% general partnership interest of the operating partnership. The remaining 15.9% of the common limited partnership units are held primarily by former officers, directors and investors of Paragon Group, Inc., which we acquired in 1997. Each common limited partnership unit is redeemable for one common share of Camden or cash at our election. Holders of common limited partnership units are not entitled to rights as shareholders prior to redemption of their common limited partnership units. No member of our management owns common limited partnership units, and only two of our eight trust managers own common limited partnership units.

        Our operating partnership has issued $100 million of 7.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units and $53 million of 8.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. Distributions on the preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears. The Series B preferred units are redeemable beginning in 2008 and the Series C preferred units are redeemable beginning in 2004, in each case by the operating partnership for cash at par plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions. The preferred units are convertible beginning in 2009 by the holder into a fixed number of corresponding Series B or C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares. The preferred units are subordinate to present and future debt. Effective December 1, 2003, we amended the terms of the Series B preferred units, which are described above. We did not record any charges to earnings in connection with this amendment. Distributions on the preferred units totaled $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        In conjunction with our acquisition of Oasis Residential, Inc. in 1998, we acquired the controlling managing member interest in Oasis Martinique, LLC, which owns one property in Orange County, California and is included in our consolidated financial statements. The remaining interests, comprising 740,348 units, are exchangeable into 561,924 of our common shares.

        Minority interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to holders of common and preferred limited partnership units of Camden Operating, L.P. and units in Oasis Martinique, LLC.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents. All cash and investments in money market accounts and other securities with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

         Restricted Cash. Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves, cash required to be segregated for the repayment of residents’ security deposits and deposits related to our development activities. Substantially all restricted cash is invested in demand and short-term instruments.

         Real Estate Assets, at Cost. Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes which are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of properties, are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in properties under development until the apartment



26




homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.

        Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets, including land, buildings, the value of in-place leases, including above and below market leases, and acquired liabilities. We then allocate the purchase price of the acquired property based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections and available market information. As of December 31, 2003, we have not acquired any operating properties that would fall within the scope of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.”

        If an event or change in circumstance indicates that a potential impairment in the value of a property has occurred, our policy is to assess any potential impairment by making a comparison of the current and projected cash flows for such property over its remaining holding period, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. If such carrying amounts were in excess of the estimated projected cash flows of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair market value.

        On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that the assets and results of operations of any communities that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, be presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements in both current and prior periods presented. Real estate to be disposed of is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value, less its cost to sell. Depreciation expense is not recorded during the period in which such assets are considered held for sale.

        We capitalized $22.3 million and $33.7 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively, of renovation and improvement costs which we believe extended the economic lives and enhanced the earnings of the related assets. Capital expenditures are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years. Capital expenditures for 2002 included $6.3 million of non-recurring expenditures associated with signage implemented as part of our branding initiatives. Expenditures for signage represent fixed assets that are being depreciated over 10 years, as we believe that the new signage should provide long term benefits to us.

        Carrying charges, principally interest and real estate taxes, of land under development and buildings under construction are capitalized as part of properties under development and buildings and improvements to the extent that such charges do not cause the carrying value of the asset to exceed its net realizable value. Capitalized interest was $15.1 million in 2003, $10.9 million in 2002 and $10.9 million in 2001. Capitalized real estate taxes were $2.3 million in 2003, $2.0 million in 2002 and $2.3 million in 2001. All operating expenses, excluding depreciation, associated with completed apartment homes for properties in the development and leasing phase are expensed against revenues generated by those apartment homes. Upon substantial completion of the project, all apartment homes are considered operating and we stop capitalizing carrying costs.

        All initial buildings and improvements costs are depreciated over their remaining estimated useful lives of 5 to 35 years using the straight line method. Capital improvements, including carpet, appliances and HVAC unit replacements, subsequent to initial construction are depreciated over their expected useful lives of 3 to 20 years using the straight line method.

        Property operating and maintenance expenses included repair and maintenance expenses, which totaled $29.4 million in 2003, $26.9 million in 2002 and $26.5 million in 2001. Costs recorded as repair and



27




maintenance include all costs that do not alter the primary use, extend the expected useful life or improve the safety or efficiency of the related asset. Our largest repair and maintenance expenditures related to landscaping, interior painting and floor coverings.

         Other Assets, Net. Other assets in our consolidated financial statements include deferred financing costs, non-real estate leasehold improvements and equipment, prepaid expenses and other miscellaneous receivables. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt on the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Leasehold improvements and equipment are depreciated on the straight line method over the shorter of the expected useful lives or the lease terms which range from 3 to 10 years. Accumulated depreciation and amortization for such assets totaled $19.3 million in 2003 and $16.9 million in 2002.

         Income Recognition. Our rental and other property income is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property income consists primarily of utility rebillings, and administrative, application and other transactional fees charged to our residents. Our apartment homes are rented to residents on lease terms generally ranging from 6 to 13 months, with monthly payments due in advance. Interest, fee and asset management and all other sources of income are recognized as earned. Two of our properties are subject to rent control or rent stabilization. Operations of apartment properties acquired are recorded from the date of acquisition in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. In management’s opinion, due to the number of residents, the type and diversity of submarkets in which the properties operate, and the collection terms, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.

         Third-Party Construction Services. Our construction division performs services for our internally developed communities, as well as provides construction management and general contracting services for third-party owners of multifamily, commercial and retail properties. Income from these third-party projects is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis. For projects where our fee is based on a fixed price, any cost overruns, as compared to the original budget, incurred during construction will reduce the fee generated on those projects. For any project where cost overruns are expected to be in excess of the fee generated on the project, we will recognize the total projected loss in the period in which the loss is first estimated. See Note 7 for further discussion of our third-party construction services.

         Fair Value Stock-Based Compensation. We have historically elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our share-based compensation. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of share options equals the market price of our shares at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. Restricted shares are recorded to compensation expense over the vesting periods based on the market value of the shares on the date of grant, and no compensation expense is recorded for our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), as the ESPP is considered non-compensatory.

        As discussed in the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” Section, in December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. We had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, but beginning January 1, 2003, we adopted the prospective method set forth in SFAS No. 148 in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 123.

        The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.0% and 5.0% to 5.2%, expected life of ten years, dividend yield of 8.1% and 6.9% to 7.0%, and expected share volatility of 18.3% and 18.1%. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2003 and 2002, respectively, was $1.38 and $2.85 per share. There were no options granted in 2001.

        If we applied the retroactive restatement method set forth in SFAS No. 148 in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 123 to our option grants and ESPP, our net income to common shareholders and related basic and diluted earnings per share would be as follows:

In April 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Among other corrections, SFAS No. 145 requires gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be classified as extraordinary only if they meet the criteria set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. Our adoption of SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45, are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for periods ending after December 15, 2002. Our application of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Our adoption of the prospective method set forth in SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classification and



29




measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150, as amended, is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3.     Income Taxes

        We have maintained and intend to maintain our election as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a result, we generally will not be subject to federal taxation to the extent we distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders and satisfy certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes from REIT operations has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, then we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to applicable federal, state and local income taxes.

        The following table reconciles net income available to common shareholders to REIT taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

4.     Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share is computed using income from continuing operations and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of common share options and awards granted, preferred shares, units convertible into common shares and convertible subordinated debentures. Only those items that have a dilutive impact on our basic earnings per share are included in diluted earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2001, 1.9 million units convertible into common shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculated as they were anti-dilutive.

5.     Discontinued Operations

        The components of net income that are presented as discontinued operations include net operating income, depreciation and property specific interest expense, if any. In addition, the net gain or loss on the disposal of communities is presented in discontinued operations when recognized. The operating results of discontinued operations related to properties held through our investment in joint ventures that are subsequently sold will continue to be reported in “Equity in income of joint ventures.” There were no property sales that were characterized as discontinued operations for 2003.

        The operating results of the three properties sold in 2002 that are included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, are as follows:

6.     Investments in Joint Ventures

        In December 2003, Camden USA, Inc., one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, contributed undeveloped land located in Ashburn, Virginia into a joint venture in return for a 20% interest, totaling $1.5 million and approximately $12.7 million in cash. The remaining 80% interest is owned by Westwind Equity, LLC, an unrelated third party, which contributed $5.8 million to the joint venture. We entered into this transaction to reduce the risk associated with entering into a new market. The joint venture is developing Camden Westwind, a 464 apartment home community at a total estimated cost of $69.1 million. Concurrently with this transaction, we provided a $9.0 million mezzanine loan to the joint venture. We are providing development services to the joint venture, and fees earned for these services totaled $0.4 million for the year ended 2003. At December 31, 2003, the joint venture had total assets of $25.3 million and had third-party secured debt totaling $9.0 million.

        In June 1998, we completed a transaction in which Camden USA, Inc. and TMT-Nevada, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of a private pension fund, formed Sierra-Nevada Multifamily Investments, LLC (“Sierra-Nevada”). We entered into this transaction to reduce our market risk in the Las Vegas area. In this transaction, we transferred to Sierra-Nevada 19 apartment communities containing 5,119 apartment homes for an aggregate of $248 million. TMT-Nevada holds an 80% interest in Sierra-Nevada and Camden USA, Inc. holds the remaining 20% interest. At December 31, 2003, Sierra-Nevada owned 16 apartment communities with 4,227 apartment homes, had total assets of $183.5 million and secured debt totaling $157.5 million.

        In April 1998, we acquired, through one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, a 50% interest in Denver West Apartments, LLC, which owns Camden Denver West, a 320 apartment home community located in Denver, Colorado. The remaining 50% interest is owned by a private investor.

        In April 1997, we acquired, through our operating partnership, a 44% interest in Paradim, Inc. The remaining interest was held by unaffiliated private investors. During 2001, our investment in Paradim, Inc. was liquidated after all the assets, consisting of three apartment communities with 1,264 apartment homes were sold. Our portion of the gains recognized from these sales totaled $6.6 million and is included in “Equity in income of joint ventures” for the year then ended.

33




        The joint ventures discussed above are all accounted for under the equity method. The joint ventures in which we have an interest have been funded with secured, third-party debt. We are not committed to any additional funding on third-party debt in relation to our joint ventures. See discussion of principles of consolidation in Note 2.

7.     Third-Party Construction Services

        Our construction division performs services for our internally developed communities, as well as provides construction management and general contracting services for third-party owners of multifamily, commercial and retail properties. We are currently under contract on projects ranging from $0.7 million to $17.1 million. We earn fees on these projects ranging from 4% to 7% of the total contracted construction cost, which we recognize when they are earned. Fees earned from third-party construction projects totaled $2.6 million, $2.7 million, and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are included in revenues in our consolidated statements of operations under “Fee and asset management.”

        During the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded cost overruns of $2.0 million on fixed fee projects, which represented the estimate of our remaining costs to complete the projects. These cost overruns are included in fee and asset management expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

8.     Notes Receivable

        During the third quarter of 2002, we implemented a mezzanine financing program under which we provide financing to owners of real estate properties. We had $41.4 million and $17.6 million in secured notes receivable outstanding as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These notes, which mature through 2008, accrue interest at rates ranging from 5% to 18% which is recognized as earned.

        The following is a summary of our notes receivable under this program:

($ in millions)

                                      Total                 2,800   $ 41.4   $ 17.6  
             
 
 

        We have reviewed the terms and conditions underlying each note and management believes that none of these notes qualify for consolidation as a variable interest entity. Management believes that these notes appear to be collectable, and no impairment existed at December 31, 2003.

        In December 2003, in connection with a joint venture transaction, we provided to the joint venture a $9.0 million mezzanine loan. We own a 20% interest in this joint venture. Interest on the note accrues at 14% and will mature in 2006. See further discussion of our joint ventures in Note 6.

Net book value of real estate assets subject to secured notes       347.3     399.6  

        We have a $500 million unsecured line of credit that matures in August 2006. The scheduled interest rate is currently based on spreads over LIBOR or Prime. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $250 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in compliance with at December 31, 2003. The weighted average balance outstanding on the unsecured line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2003 was $144.0 million, with a maximum outstanding balance of $242.0 million.

        Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available to us. At December 31, 2003, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $12.4 million. As of December 31, 2003, we had $440.6 million available under our unsecured line of credit.

        In February 2003, we filed a universal shelf registration statement providing for the issuance of up to $1.0 billion in debt securities, preferred shares, common shares or warrants. This registration statement was combined with the $85.5 million remaining from our previous $750 million universal shelf. At December 31, 2003, $885.5 million was available for issuance.



35




        At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt was 2.2% and 2.6%, respectively.

        Our indebtedness, excluding our unsecured line of credit, had a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years. Scheduled repayments on outstanding debt, including our line of credit, at December 31, 2003 are as follows:

(In millions)


  Year     Amount   Weighted Average

Total     $ 1,509.7     6.3%  
 
 
 

10.    Incentive and Benefit Plans

        Incentive Plan. During 2002, our Board of Trust Managers adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 2002 Share Incentive Plan of Camden Property Trust (the “2002 Share Plan”). Under the 2002 Share Plan, we may issue up to 10% of the total of (i) the number of our common shares outstanding at any time, plus (ii) the number of our common shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares, plus (iii) the number of our common shares held as treasury shares. Compensation awards that can be granted under the 2002 Share Plan include various forms of incentive awards, including incentive share options, non-qualified share options and restricted shares. The class of eligible persons that can receive grants of incentive awards under the 2002 Share Plan consists of key employees, consultants and non-employee trust managers as determined by the compensation committee of our Board of Trust Managers. The 2002 Share Plan does not have a termination date; however, no incentive share options will be granted under this plan after February 5, 2012.

        We also have a non-compensatory option plan (the “1993 Share Plan”) that was amended in 2000 by our shareholders and Board of Trust Managers. The terms and conditions of the 1993 Share Plan are very similar to the 2002 Share Plan, except that no incentive awards may be granted under the 1993 Share Plan after May 27, 2003. As the terms and conditions of the 1993 Share Plan and the 2002 Share Plan are similar, when the term “plan” is used in the following discussion, we are referring to the plan from which the incentive award was granted.

     Options. Options are exercisable, subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, in increments of 33.33% per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The plan provides that the exercise price of an option will be determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Trust Managers on the day of grant, and to date all options have been granted at an exercise price that equals the fair market value on the date of grant. Options exercised during 2003 were exercised at prices ranging from $22.00 to $38.85 per share. At December 31, 2003, options outstanding were at exercise prices ranging from $21.38 to $41.91 per share and had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.0 years.

        In 1998, in connection with the merger with Oasis Residential, Inc., we assumed the Oasis stock incentive plans. We converted all unexercised Oasis stock options issued under the former Oasis stock incentive plans into options to purchase Camden common shares. All of the Oasis options became fully vested upon conversion and have a weighted average remaining contractual life of three years. As of December 31, 2003, there were 85,347 Oasis options outstanding, which are exercisable at prices ranging from $29.32 to $31.62 per share.

         Restricted Shares. Restricted shares have vesting periods of up to ten years. The compensation cost for restricted shares is based on the market value of the shares on the date of grant. Restricted shares granted to non-employee trust managers have been awarded for their services as trust managers, and therefore, are accounted for on the same basis as all restricted share awards.

         Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We have established an ESPP for all active employees, officer, and trust managers who have completed one year of continuous service. Participants may elect to purchase Camden common shares through payroll or trust manager fee deductions and/or through quarterly contributions. At the end of each six-month offering period, each participant’s account balance is applied to acquire common shares on the open market at 85% of the market value, as defined, on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever price is lower. Each participant must hold the shares purchased for nine months in order to receive the discount, and a participant may not purchase more than $25,000 in value of shares during any plan year, as defined. No compensation expense was recognized for the difference in price paid by employees and the fair market value of our shares at the date of purchase. There were 26,668, 24,382 and 28,747 shares purchased under the ESPP during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The weighted average fair value of ESPP shares purchased in 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $34.49, $35.12 and $35.80 per share, respectively. In January 2004, 9,566 shares were purchased under the ESPP related to the 2003 plan year.

         Rabbi Trust. We have established a rabbi trust in which salary and bonus amounts awarded to certain officers under the share incentive plan and restricted shares awarded to certain officers and trust managers may be deposited. We account for the rabbi trust similar to a compensatory stock option plan. At December 31, 2003, approximately 1.8 million restricted shares were held in the rabbi trust. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, $25.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively, was required to be paid to us by plan participants upon the withdrawal of any shares from the trust, and is included in “Accounts receivable-affiliates” in our



38




consolidated financial statements. The increase in receivables from plan participants in 2003 was due to the changes in the plan during 2003, which increased the amount an employee is required to pay upon withdrawal of shares from the trust.

     401(k) Savings Plan. We have a 401(k) savings plan, which is a voluntary defined contribution plan. Under the savings plan, every employee is eligible to participate beginning on the earlier of January 1 or July 1 following the date the employee has completed six months of continuous service with us. Each participant may make contributions to the savings plan by means of a pre-tax salary deferral, which may not be less than 1% nor more than 60% of the participant’s compensation. The federal tax code limits the annual amount of salary deferrals that may be made by any participant. We may make matching contributions on the participant’s behalf up to a predetermined limit. The matching contributions made for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $775,000, $785,000 and $891,000 respectively. A participant’s salary deferral contribution will always be 100% vested and nonforfeitable. A participant will become vested in our matching contributions 33.33% after one year of service, 66.67% after two years of service and 100% after three years of service. Administrative expenses under the savings plan were not material.

11.     Securities Repurchase Program

        In 1998, we began repurchasing our common equity securities under a program approved by our Board of Trust Managers. To date, the Board has authorized us to repurchase or redeem up to $250 million of our securities through open market purchases and private transactions. At December 31, 2003, we had repurchased approximately 8.8 million common shares and redeemed approximately 106,000 units convertible into common shares at a total cost of $243.6 million. No common shares or units convertible into common shares were repurchased during 2003.

12.     Convertible Preferred Shares

        In April 2001, we announced that our issued and outstanding Series A preferred shares would be redeemed effective April 30, 2001 at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, the stated liquidation preference, plus an amount equal to all accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends as of April 30, 2001. Prior to redemption, 3.1 million preferred shares were converted into 2.4 million common shares. The remaining preferred shares were redeemed for an aggregate of $27.1 million, including unpaid dividends, using funds available under our unsecured line of credit.

13.     Technology Investments

        Our Board of Trust Managers authorized us to invest in non-real estate initiatives, including investments in e-commerce initiatives with other multifamily real estate owners. During 2001, management determined that the capital markets for these technology companies and the expected future cash flows from these investments made it difficult to support the carrying values of our investments. Therefore, during that year we recorded an impairment provision totaling $9.9 million, which represented our remaining carrying value at time of write-off of all technology initiatives. Of this amount, $6.4 million relates to companies that have ceased operations, filed for bankruptcy, or are in the process of being sold.

14.     Townhome Sales

        We have completed construction of 17 for-sale townhomes in the downtown Dallas area at a total cost of approximately $5.5 million. During 2001 and 2002, we sold five and eight units, respectively, at a total sales price of approximately $1.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. During 2003, we sold the four remaining units at a total sales price of approximately $1.3 million. The proceeds received from these



39




townhome sales are included in other revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Other expenses in our consolidated statements of operations represent the construction costs and marketing expenses associated with the townhomes.

15.     Related Party Transactions

        Two of our executive officers had unsecured loans totaling $1.8 million with one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. The executives utilized amounts received from these loans to purchase our common shares in open market transactions at then current market prices in 1994. During the second quarter of 2003, the executive officers repaid their unsecured loans. Each note was scheduled to mature in February 2004 and had a fixed interest rate of 5.2%.

        We perform property management services for properties owned by joint ventures in which we own an interest. Management fees earned on these properties amounted to $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

        In 1999 and 2000, our Board of Trust Managers approved a plan that permitted four of our current senior executive officers and two of our former executive officers to complete the purchase of $23.0 million of our common shares in open market transactions. The purchases were funded with unsecured full recourse personal loans made to each of the executives by a third-party lender. The loans mature beginning in 2004, bear interest at market rates and require interest to be paid quarterly. To facilitate the employee share purchase transactions, we entered into a guaranty agreement with the lender for payment of all indebtedness, fees and liabilities of the officers to the lender. Simultaneously, we entered into a reimbursement agreement with each of the executive officers whereby each executive officer has indemnified us and absolutely and unconditionally agreed to reimburse us, should any amounts ever be paid by us pursuant to the terms of the guaranty agreement. The reimbursement agreements require the executives to pay interest from the date any amounts are paid by us until repayment by the officer. We have not had to perform under the guaranty agreement.

        Beginning in 2000, we invested approximately $1.4 million into BroadBand Residential Inc., a multi-unit owner-sponsored broadband company providing high-speed data services to multifamily residents, and invested approximately $2.1 million in Viva Group, Inc., an internet based company that provides online owner-renter matching services for the multi-family housing industry. One of our trust managers is a director, executive officer and significant shareholder of Viva Group, Inc., In connection with our investment in BroadBand Residential, we had the right to designate one member of its board of directors. We appointed one of our executive officers to fill that position and represent our interest. As described in Note 13, during 2001, we recorded an impairment charge for all technology investments, including our investment in Viva Group, Inc. and BroadBand Residential. During 2001, BroadBand Residential discontinued operations.

16.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure about fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could obtain on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

        As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and distributions payable were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value.



40




        Estimates of fair value of our notes payable are based upon interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. As of December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance of fixed rate notes payable of $1,385.1 million had a fair value of $1,492.9 million. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding balance of fixed rate notes payable of $1,252.6 million had a fair value of $1,319.8 million. The floating rate notes payable balance at December 31, 2003 and 2002 approximated fair value.

18.     Commitments and Contingencies

         Construction Contracts. As of December 31, 2003, we were obligated for approximately $3.0 million of additional expenditures on our one project currently under development (a substantial amount of which we expect to be funded with our unsecured line of credit).

         Lease Commitments. At December 31, 2003, we had long-term operating leases covering certain land, office facilities and equipment. Rental expense totaled $2.0 million in 2003, $1.9 million in 2002 and $1.9 million in 2001. Minimum annual rental commitments for the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2008 are $2.1 million, $1.9 million, $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and $4.1 million in the aggregate thereafter.

         Employment Agreements. We have employment agreements with four of our senior officers, the terms of which expire at various times through August 20, 2005. Such agreements provide for minimum salary levels as well as various incentive compensation arrangements, which are payable based on the attainment of specific goals. The agreements also provide for severance payments plus a gross-up payment if certain situations occur, such as termination without cause or a change of control. In the case of two of the agreements, the severance payment equals one times the respective current salary base in the case of termination without cause and 2.99 times the respective average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years in the case of change of control. In the case of the other two agreements, the severance payment generally equals 2.99 times the respective average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years in connection with, among other things, a termination without cause or a change of control, and the officer would be entitled to receive continuation and vesting of certain benefits in the case of such termination.

     Contingencies.         Prior to our merger with Oasis Residential, Inc., Oasis had been contacted by certain regulatory agencies with regard to alleged failures to comply with the Fair Housing Amendments Act (the “Fair Housing Act”) as it pertained to nine properties (seven of which we currently own) constructed for first occupancy after March 31, 1991. On February 1, 1999, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against us and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada alleging (1) that the



41




design and construction of these properties violates the Fair Housing Act and (2) that we, through the merger with Oasis, had discriminated in the rental of dwellings to persons because of handicap. The complaint requests an order that (i) declares that the defendants’ policies and practices violate the Fair Housing Act; (ii) enjoins us from (a) failing or refusing, to the extent possible, to bring the dwelling units and public use and common use areas at these properties and other covered units that Oasis has designed and/or constructed into compliance with the Fair Housing Act, (b) failing or refusing to take such affirmative steps as may be necessary to restore, as nearly as possible, the alleged victims of the defendants’ alleged unlawful practices to positions they would have been in but for the discriminatory conduct, and (c) designing or constructing any covered multifamily dwellings in the future that do not contain the accessibility and adaptability features set forth in the Fair Housing Act; and requires us to pay damages, including punitive damages, and a civil penalty.

        With any acquisition, we plan for and undertake renovations needed to correct deferred maintenance, life/safety and Fair Housing matters. On January 30, 2001, a consent decree was ordered and executed in the above Justice Department action. Under the terms of the decree, we were ordered to make certain retrofits and implement certain educational programs and Fair Housing advertising. These changes are to take place over five years. The costs associated with complying with the decree have been accrued for and are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

        We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

        In the ordinary course of our business, we issue letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for the purchase or sale of multifamily properties or development land. In accordance with local real estate market practice, such letters of intent are non-binding, and neither party to the letter of intent is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent and resulting contracts generally contemplate that such contracts will provide the purchaser with time to evaluate the properties and conduct due diligence, during which periods the purchaser will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any properties covered by letters of intent or that we will acquire or sell any property as to which we may have entered into a definitive contract. Furthermore, due diligence periods are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or sale becomes probable at the time that the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. We are then at risk under an acquisition contract, but only to the extent of any earnest money deposits associated with the contract, and are obligated to sell under a sales contract.

        We are currently in the due diligence period for the purchase of land for development and the acquisition of operating properties. No assurance can be made that we will be able to complete the negotiations or become satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence.

(a)   Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, extraordinary or unusual items, along with significant non-recurring events that materially distort the comparative measure of FFO are typically disregarded in its calculation. Our definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion at the beginning of the period of all convertible securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into common equity. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Furthermore, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation. See our reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO in Management's Discussion and Analysis.  
 
(b)   Excludes apartment homes owned in joint ventures.

Code of Ethical Conduct for Senior Financial Officers

        In my role as Camden Property Trust’s (the “Company”) principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer or controller, or a person performing similar functions (collectively, “Senior Financial Officers”),

        I recognize that I hold an important and elevated role in corporate governance. I am uniquely capable and empowered to ensure that shareholders’ interests are appropriately balanced, protected and preserved. Accordingly, this Code provides principles to which Senior Financial Officers are expected to adhere and advocate. This Code embodies rules regarding individual and peer responsibilities, as well as responsibilities to the Company, the public and shareholders.

        I certify that I adhere to and advocate the following principles and responsibilities governing my professional and ethical conduct:

        1.        I act honestly and ethically, including ethically handling actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.

        2.        I act to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company.

        3.        I comply with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.

        4.        I act in good faith, responsibly and with due care and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing my independent judgment to be subordinated.

        5.        I do not disclose any confidential information acquired in the course of my work, except when authorized or when I am legally obligated to disclose such information. I do not use such confidential information for personal advantage.

        6.        I comply with the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics for all employees.

        7.        I promptly report to the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee any conduct that I believe to be a violation of law or business ethics or of any provision of this Code or the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics, including any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a violation.

        I understand that violations of this Code of Ethical Conduct for Senior Financial Officers, including failures to report actual or potential violations by others, will be viewed as a severe disciplinary matter that may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
