Of

Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share of

LASALLE HOTEL PROPERTIES

THIS CERTIFIES that, effective as of                      (the “Date of Grant”),                      (the “Grantee”) will be granted an award of                      (the “Target Amount”) restricted common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of LASALLE HOTEL PROPERTIES (the “Company”), subject to increase to a maximum of _______ Common Shares (the “Maximum Amount”), upon and subject to the following terms and conditions and the applicable terms and conditions of the 1998 Share Option and Incentive Plan, as amended and as in effect from time to time (the “Plan”):

1. Status of Underlying Shares; Restrictions : No restricted Common Shares covered by this Agreement shall be issued or outstanding until earned and awarded pursuant to Section 2. Thereafter, awarded Common Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable but forfeitable and non-transferable by the Grantee until such shares become vested pursuant to Section 3. After restricted Common Shares are earned and awarded pursuant to Section 2, the transfer agent for the Company shall be instructed (i) to issue any certificates representing such shares with appropriate legends and (ii) not to process any transfers of such shares unless, and only to the extent that, it has been notified by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Company that some or all of such shares have become vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture.


2. Performance Award :

(a) The shares to be awarded pursuant to this Section 2, subject to further vesting pursuant to Section 3 below, in accordance with the rules set forth below.

(b) The total number of shares that will be awarded pursuant to this Section 2 will be determined on January 1, 2010 and will equal the sum of the number of shares awarded pursuant to Sections 2(c), (d) and (e) below. In each case, the determination will depend on the Total Return (as defined below) of the Company over the Measuring Period (as defined below), as compared to the applicable benchmark.

(c) Up to forty percent of the Maximum Amount of restricted shares to be awarded under this Section 2 will be based on the Target Amount and the Company’s Total Return compared to the Total Return of the companies comprising the NAREIT Equity Index (as defined below) as set forth in the table below. More specifically, the amount to be awarded under this Section 2(c) is calculated as the product of (i) the applicable percent earned determined using the table below and (ii)                      shares (a number of shares equal to 40% of the Target Amount). In no event may more than                      shares (calculated as 200% of 40% of Target Amount) be awarded pursuant to this Section 2(c).

(d) Up to forty percent of the Maximum Amount of restricted shares to be awarded under this Section 2 will be based on the Target Amount and the Company’s Total Return compared to the Total Return of the companies comprising the Peer Group (defined below) and including the Company as set forth in the table below. More specifically, the amount to be awarded under this Section 2(d) is calculated as the product of (i) the applicable percent earned determined using the table below and (ii)                      shares (a number of shares equal to 40% of the Target Amount).
