                             SPIEKER PROPERTIES L.P.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JUNE 30, 1998 and 1997
                        (in thousands, except share data)
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Spieker Properties, L.P.

     Spieker Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") was formed on
     November 10, 1993, and commenced operations on November 19, 1993, when
     Spieker Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), the general partner in the
     Operating Partnership, completed its initial public offering ("IPO") on
     November 18, 1993. The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust
     ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended.
     As of June 30, 1998, the Company owned an approximate 88.2 percent general
     and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Consolidation

     The Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements include the
     consolidated financial position of the Operating Partnership and its
     subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and its
     consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June
     30, 1998 and 1997 and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended
     June 30, 1998 and 1997. The Operating Partnership's investment in Spieker
     Northwest, Inc. (an unconsolidated Preferred Stock subsidiary) and its
     investment in Spieker Griffin/W9 Associates, LLC is accounted for under the
     equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
     been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

     Interim Financial Information

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
     and, in management's opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
     presentation of results for such interim periods. Certain information and
     note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the
     Operating Partnership believes that adequate disclosures have been made.

     The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and
     1997, are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. It is
     suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
     consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1997.

     Properties

     Properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line
     method over the estimated useful lives of the properties. The estimated
     lives are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                     <C>     
     Land improvements and leasehold interests          18 to 40 years
     Buildings and improvements                         10 to 40 years
     Tenant improvements                                Term of the related lease
</TABLE>

     The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the
     property or interests in property, legal fees, acquisition costs and
     interest, property taxes and other costs incurred during the period of
     construction.



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
     incurred. Significant renovations or betterments which extend the economic
     useful life of assets are capitalized.

     Investments in real estate are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or
     estimated fair value. Fair value for financial reporting purposes is
     evaluated periodically by the Operating Partnership on a property by
     property basis using undiscounted cash flow. If a potential impairment is
     identified, it is measured by the property's fair value based on either
     sales comparables or the net cash expected to be generated by the property,
     less estimated carrying costs (including interest) throughout the
     anticipated holding period, plus the estimated cash proceeds from the
     ultimate disposition of the property. To the extent that the carrying value
     exceeds the estimated fair value, a provision for decrease in net
     realizable value is recorded. Estimated fair value is not necessarily an
     indication of a property's current value or the amount that will be
     realized upon the ultimate disposition of the property. As of June 30,
     1998, and December 31, 1997, none of the carrying values of the properties
     exceeded their estimated fair values. As of June 30, 1998, and December 31,
     1997, the properties are located primarily in California, Oregon and
     Washington. As a result of this geographic concentration, the operations of
     these properties could be adversely affected by a recession or general
     economic downturn in the areas where these properties are located.

     The Operating Partnership owns mortgage loans that are secured by real
     estate. Certain of the loans are with an affiliate of the Operating
     Partnership (see note 4). The Operating Partnership assesses possible
     impairment of these loans by reviewing the fair value of the underlying
     real estate. As of June 30, 1998, the estimated fair value of the
     underlying real estate was in excess of the Operating Partnership's book
     value of the mortgage loans.

     Construction in Progress

     Project costs clearly associated with the development and construction of a
     real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. In
     addition, interest, real estate taxes and other costs are capitalized
     during the period in which activities necessary to get the property ready
     for its intended use are in progress.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less
     when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.

     Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs

     Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and
     amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related loan or
     lease. Unamortized financing and leasing costs are charged to expense upon
     the early termination of the lease or upon the early payment of financing.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Operating
     Partnership, the carrying amount of debt approximates fair value. Cash and
     cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, certificates of deposit, and
     overnight repurchase agreements with financial institutions. The carrying
     amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

     Preferred Operating Partnership Units

     In November, 1997, the Operating Partnership issued limited partners'
     interest of 2,007,495 Preferred Operating Partnership Units. Preferred
     Operating Partnership Units are convertible into 1,824,994 Operating
     Partnership Units at the discretion of the holder subsequent to May 3,
     1998, or they may be redeemable for cash at the discretion of the Operating
     Partnership subsequent to December 3, 2002. Preferred Operating Partnership
     Units are paid distributions quarterly in the amount of $.63 per share.
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, 285,664 Preferred Operating
     Partnership Units were converted into 259,694 Shares of Common Stock, held
     by the general partner as Operating Partnership Units.

     In April 1998, the Operating Partnership sold 1,500,000 Series D Preferred
     Units to an institutional investor for $50.00 per unit. The net proceeds
     of $73.1 million for the Series D Preferred Units were used to pay down
     the line of credit and to fund future growth for the Company.

     Revenues

     All leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income is recognized
     on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Deferred rent
     receivable represents the excess of rental revenue recognized on a
     straight-line basis over cash received under the applicable lease
     provisions.

     Interest and Other Income

     Interest and other income includes interest income on cash, cash
     equivalents, investments in mortgages, and management fee income.

     Net Income Per Unit

     Per unit amounts for the Operating Partnership are computed using the
     weighted average units outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted
     average general partner units and limited partner units outstanding include
     the dilutive effect of stock options. The basic and diluted weighted
     average common units outstanding for the three and six months ended June
     30, 1998 and 1997, are as follows:

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of 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 and



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     certain properties that are controlled and operating by Spieker Northwest,
     Inc., Spieker Griffin/W9 Associates, LLC and Spieker Partners related
     entities (collectively, "Spieker Partners"). Certain officers of Spieker
     Properties, Inc. are partners in Spieker Partners.

     Receivable From Affiliates

     The receivable from affiliates at June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997,
     represents management fees and reimbursements due from Spieker Northwest,
     Inc., Spieker Griffin/W9 Associates, LLC and Spieker Partners related
     entities.

     Investments in Mortgages

     Operating Partnership, located in Orange County, California for an initial
     cost of $100,000.


5.   PROPERTY HELD FOR DISPOSITION

     The Operating Partnership has determined to focus exclusively on properties
     that meet its long-term strategic objectives. The Operating Partnership has
     therefore decided to divest itself of certain properties. Included in
     property held for disposition of $7,663 at June 30, 1998, one industrial
     property located in Southern California and one industrial property located
     in Washington. The divestiture of these properties is subject to
     identification of a purchaser, negotiation of acceptable terms and other
     customary conditions.

     in investment grade rated unsecured debt securities with interest rates
     ranging from 6.65% to 8.00% payable semi-annually. The debt securities
     mature on various dates from 2000 to 2027.



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

     acquisition.

     Unsecured Short-Term Borrowings

     The Operating Partnership has an Unsecured Line of Credit facility. The
     maximum amount available under the facility is $250,000. The facility
     carries interest at LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rates) plus 0.80%,
     matures in August 2001, includes an annual administrative fee of $50 and an
     annual facility fee of .20%. As of June 30, 1998, the amount drawn on the
     facility was $75,000. In addition, the Operating Partnership has a $200,000
     short-term bank facility. This short-term facility carries interest at
     LIBOR plus .65% and matures November 1998 with an option to extend for one
     more year.

     Mortgage Loans

     Mortgage loans of $ 112,803 as of June 30, 1998, are secured by deeds of
     trust on related properties. The mortgage loans carry interest rates
     ranging from 7.37% to 9.88%, require monthly principal and interest
     payments, and mature on various dates from 1998 to 2013.


7.   PARTNER DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE

     The partners distributions payable at June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997,
     represent amounts payable to partners for the quarter then ended.


8.   PARTNERS' CAPITAL

     Equity Offerings

     The Company placed 1,166,144 shares of Common Stock at $39.88 per share on
     April 23, 1998, in a Registered Unit Investment Trust. Net proceeds of
     $44,059, were contributed to the Operating Partnership and were used to
     repay borrowings on the Unsecured Line of Credit and to fund the ongoing
     acquisition and development of properties.

     In June 1998, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of Series E Cumulative
     Redeemable Preferred Stock for $25.00 per share through an underwritten
     public offering. The aggregate net proceeds of $96,800 were used primarily
     to repay short term borrowings.

9.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The land on which three of the Operating Partnership's properties are
     located is owned by Stanford University and is subject to ground leases.
     The ground leases expire in 2039 or 2040 and, unless the leases are
     extended, the use of the land, together with all improvements, will revert
     back to Stanford University. The former owners of the three properties
     prepaid the ground leases through 2011, 2012 and 2017; thereafter, the
     Operating Partnership will be responsible for the ground lease payments, as
     defined under the terms of the leases. These ground lease payments have
     been segregated from the total purchase price of the properties,
     capitalized as leasehold interests in the accompanying consolidated balance
     sheet, and are being amortized ratably over the terms of the related
     original prepayment periods (18 to 24 years).

     In addition, the Operating Partnership has entered into operating ground
     leases on certain land parcels with periods ranging from 16 to 53 years,
     certain of the operating ground leases contain purchase options.


10.  GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES

     Gain on disposition of property for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
     represents the gain on dispositions of one retail property located in
     Pleasanton, California, one office property located in Carlsbad, California
     and three industrial buildings located in Fresno, California.

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


     On various dates subsequent to June 30, 1998, through July 10, 1998, the
     Operating Partnership acquired one property totaling approximately 63,000
     square feet at a total initial acquisition cost of $16,000 and land parcels
     for an initial acquisition cost of $19,430. These acquisitions were funded
     by proceeds from Common Stock offerings, borrowings from short-term
     unsecured bank facilities, and issuances of Operating Partnership Units.

     ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Statements contained in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis
     of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this
     Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not historical facts may be
     forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks
     and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially
     from those projected, including, but not limited to, those risks and
     special considerations set forth in the Operating Partnership's other SEC
     filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
     forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. The
     Operating Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly release any
     revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
     circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
     unanticipated events.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following comparison is of the Operating Partnership's consolidated
     operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 1998, as
     compared to the corresponding periods ended June 30, 1997.

     Rental revenues for the second quarter of 1998 increased by $57.9 million
     or 77.7% to $132.4 million, as compared with $74.5 million for the quarter
     ended June 30, 1997. Of this increase, $21.6 million was generated by
     properties acquired during the first six months of 1998 (the "1998
     Acquisitions"). In the second quarter of 1998 the Operating Partnership
     acquired properties totaling 2.0 million square feet for a total investment
     of $339.5 million. As used herein, the terms "invested" and "total
     investment" represent the initial purchase price of acquisitions, plus
     projected cost of certain repositioning and rehab capital expenditures
     anticipated at the time of purchase. The properties acquired in the second
     quarter were acquired on various dates throughout the quarter and, as such,
     a full quarter's revenue and expenses were not recognized during the
     quarter.

     $32.9 million of the rental revenue increase in the second quarter of 1998
     was generated by properties acquired during 1997. During 1997, the
     Operating Partnership invested $1.5 billion to acquire properties totaling
     12.5 million square feet (the "1997 Acquisitions").

     $2.7 million of the increase in rental revenues is attributable to revenue
     increases in properties owned at January 1, 1997, and still owned at June
     30, 1998 (the "Core Portfolio"). This increase in the Core Portfolio is due
     to increased rental rates realized on the renewal and re-leasing of
     second-generation space and contractual rent increases in existing leases.
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership completed
     361 lease transactions for the renewal or re-leasing of 2.6 million square
     feet of second-generation space. On average for the quarter, the new
     effective rates were 40.0% higher than the expiring coupon rent.

     $4.2 million of the rental revenue increase in the second quarter of 1998
     was generated by properties developed by the Operating Partnership (the
     "Developments"). The Developments include both properties completed and
     added to the Operating Partnership's portfolio of stabilized properties
     during 1997 and 1998, as well as properties currently under development.
     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, two properties totaling 383,690
     square feet were completed for an estimated final cost of $26.0 million and
     were added to the Operating Partnership's portfolio of stabilized
     properties. Properties are considered stabilized when a 95.0% occupancy
     rate has been achieved. The Operating Partnership also has a current
     development pipeline of 3.8 million square feet representing a total
     projected cost of $432.6 million. Certain of the properties in the
     development pipeline are shell complete and partially occupied but are not
     considered stabilized.

     The increases in rental revenue are partially offset by a decrease of $3.5
     million attributable to the disposition of properties which were owned by
     the Operating Partnership during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and sold
     subsequent to the end of such quarter (the "Property Dispositions").

     Rental revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, increased by
     $111.2 million or 80.1% to $250.1 million as compared to $138.9 million for
     the same period ended June 30, 1997. $30.8 million and $75.4 million,
     respectively, of this increase was attributable to the 1998 and 1997
     Acquisitions, $5.4 million relates to 



                                       16
<PAGE>   17

     the Core Portfolio, $7.7 million is attributable to the Developments, with
     the remainder attributable to a $8.1 million decrease from Property
     Dispositions.

     As a result of the 1998 Acquisitions, the 1997 Acquisitions, and the
     Developments, the Operating Partnership's rentable square footage,
     increased by 16.3 million square feet or 67.3% to 40.4 million square feet
     on June 30, 1998, from 24.1 million on June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1998, the
     portfolio of stabilized properties was 95.6% occupied. By property type,
     the office portfolio was 94.5% occupied and the industrial portfolio was
     96.7% occupied.

     Interest and other income increased by $4.8 million and $10.4 million or
     342.9% and 305.9% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
     over the same periods ended June 30, 1997. The net increase in interest and
     other income is due to interest income from mortgage loans made to Spieker
     Northwest, Inc. (SNI), an affiliate of the Operating Partnership, in
     relation to SNI's acquisition of non-core assets in the WCB Portfolio.
     Refer to footnote (4) Transactions with Affiliates --"Investment in
     Affiliate" for further explanation.

     Rental expenses increased by $13.7 million or 89.0% for the quarter ended
     June 30, 1998, as compared with the same period in 1997. Real estate taxes
     increased by $4.6 million or 79.3% in 1998, as compared to $5.8 million in
     1997. The overall increase in rental expenses and real estate taxes
     (collectively referred to as "property operating expenses") is primarily a
     result of the growth in the total square footage of the Operating
     Partnership's portfolio of properties. Of the total $18.3 million increase
     in property operating expenses, $9.6 million is attributable to the 1997
     Acquisitions, $8.2 million is attributable to the 1998 Acquisitions, $1.4
     million is attributable to the Developments, and $0.2 million is
     attributable to the Core Portfolio offset by a $1.1 million decrease
     attributable to the Property Dispositions. On a percentage basis, property
     operating expenses were 29.8% and 28.5% of rental revenues for the quarter
     ended June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1997, respectively. The increase in
     property operating expenses as a percentage of rental revenues is
     attributable to the increased percentage of office properties in the
     Operating Partnership's portfolio. For the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
     66.2% of the Operating Partnership's net operating income (rental revenues
     less property operating expenses) was generated by office properties as
     compared with 62.5% during the same period in 1997.

     In relation to the Operating Partnership's decision to divest itself of
     certain properties, the following analysis is presented: Rental revenues
     net of property operating expenses (referred to as "property operating
     income") increased by $42.0 million or 82.8% to $92.7 million, as compared
     to $50.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Of this increase,
     $23.3 million and $13.4 million relates to the 1997 and 1998 Acquisitions,
     $2.5 million is attributable to the Core Portfolio, and $2.8 million is
     attributable to the Developments. For the six month period ended June 30,
     1998, property operating income increased by $81.9 million or 87.4% from
     $93.7 million to $175.6 million at June 30, 1997. $53.0 million and $19.0
     million related to the 1997 and 1998 Acquisitions, $4.7 million is related
     to the Core Portfolio, and $5.2 million is attributed to the Developments.

     For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, rental expenses increased by
     $26.4 million from $27.1 million for the six months ended September 30,
     1997. This represents a 97.4% increase year over year. Real estate taxes
     increased by $8.6 million or 78.2% to $19.6 million for the first two
     quarters of 1998 as compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 1997.
     Of the total $35.0 million increase in property operating expenses, $22.4
     million is attributable to the 1997 Acquisitions, $11.8 million is for the
     1998 Acquisitions, $2.5 million relates to the Developments, $0.7 million
     is attributed to the Core Portfolio, and a $2.4 reduction attributable to
     the Property Dispositions. On a percentage basis property operating
     expenses were 29.2% and 27.4% of rental revenues for the six months ended
     June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

     Interest expense increased by $18.2 million or 143.3% to $30.9 million for
     the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $12.7 million for the same
     period in 1997. For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, interest
     expense increased by $35.5 million or 143.7% to $60.2 million from $24.7
     million for the same period in 1997. These increases in interest expense
     are due to increases in the total average outstanding debt balances. The
     average outstanding debt for the three months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997
     was $1.9 billion and $0.8 billion respectively. The average balance
     outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $1.8 billion and
     $0.7 billion for the same period in 1997. The increases in the average
     outstanding debt balances are consistent with the increases in the size of
     the Operating Partnership's portfolio of properties.



                                       17
<PAGE>   18

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $10.2 million and $19.2
     million or 82.3% and 83.5% for the three and six month periods ended June
     30, 1998, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 1997, due to
     the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions and the completed Developments.

     General and administrative expenses and other expenses increased by $1.5
     million and $3.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
     1998 as compared with the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of the
     increased growth in the portfolio. On a percentage basis, general and
     administrative expenses were 3.8% and 3.9% of rental revenues for the three
     and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared with
     4.7% for the same periods in 1997.

     During the second quarter of 1998, the Operating Partnership disposed of
     properties resulting in a gain on disposition of $6.7 million. This brings
     the total gain on disposition of property for the first two quarters of
     1998 to $15.7 million on five properties.

     Net income before minority interests and disposition of property increased
     by $14.5 million or 55.6% to $40.6 million for the three month period ended
     June 30, 1998, from $26.1 million for the same period in 1997. For the six
     month period ended June 30, 1998, net income before minority interests and
     disposition of property increased by $28.6 million or 57.2% to $78.6
     million, from $50.0 million for the same period in 1997. The increase in
     net income is due to the 1998 and 1997 Acquisitions and revenue growth in
     the Company's Core Portfolio.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, cash provided by operating activities
     increased by $58.3 million, or 62.0%, to $152.3 million, as compared to
     $94.0 million for 1997. The increase is primarily due to the increase in
     net income resulting from the 1997 and 1998 Acquisitions, the Developments,
     increased property operating income generated by the Core Portfolio and is
     partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Cash used for
     investing activities increased by $240.9 million, or 52.9%, to $696.7
     million for the first six months of 1998, as compared to $455.8 million for
     the first six months of 1997. The increase is attributable to the Operating
     Partnership's ongoing acquisition and development of office and industrial
     properties offset by proceeds from dispositions. Cash provided by financing
     activities increased by $208.8 million, or 61.1%, to $550.5 million for the
     first six months of 1998, as compared to $341.7 million for the same period
     in 1997. During the first six months of 1998, cash provided by financing
     activities consisted primarily of $265.6 million in net proceeds from the
     sale of Common and Preferred Stock and Preferred Operating Partnership
     Units, $299.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of unsecured notes (see
     below), net borrowings of $75.0 million on the Facility (as defined below)
     and an $19.3 million increase in mortgage loans due to loans assumed in
     conjunction with property acquisitions. Additionally, payments of
     distributions increased by $42.1 million to $91.8 million for the first six
     months of 1998, as compared with $49.7 million for the same period in 1997.
     The distribution payment increase is due to the greater number of shares
     outstanding and a 21.3% increase in the distribution rate of $.94 per share
     for the first six months of 1998 from $1.14 per share in 1997.

     The principal sources of funding for acquisitions, development, expansion
     and renovation of the properties are unsecured short-term borrowings,
     public and privately placed equity financing, public unsecured debt
     financing, the issuance of partnership units in the Operating Partnership,
     the assumption of secured debt on properties acquired and cash flow
     provided by operations. The Operating Partnership believes that its
     liquidity and its ability to access capital are adequate to continue to
     meet liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

     At June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership had no material commitments for
     capital expenditures related to the renewal or re-leasing of space. The
     Operating Partnership believes that the cash provided by operations and its
     line of credit provide sufficient sources of liquidity to fund capital
     expenditure costs associated with the renewal or re-leasing of space.

     In January 1997, the Company sold 11,500,000 shares of Common Stock
     (including 1,500,000 shares sold to the underwriters in the exercise of
     their over-allotment option in February 1997) through an underwritten
     public offering at $34.50 per share. The net proceeds of $374.8 million
     were used to purchase properties during the

     intent at the time of the offering, and to repay indebtedness. Also, in
     January 1997, the Company and the Operating Partnership filed a shelf

     equity securities of the Company and $500.0 million of debt securities of
     the Operating Partnership and became effective in January 1997.

     In September 1997, the Company and the Operating Partnership filed a shelf

     acquisition and development of property.

     In November 1997, the Company sold 11,500,000 shares of Common Stock

     indebtedness and to purchase properties which were under contract at the
     time of the offering.

     borrowings on the unsecured line of credit and to fund the ongoing
     acquisition and development of properties.

     In February, March and April 1998, the Company placed 710,832 shares,
     608,828 shares and 1,166,144 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at
     prices of $42.25, $41.06 and $39.88 in Registered Unit Investment Trusts
     along with other publicly traded REITs. The net proceeds of $96.3 million
     were used to paydown borrowings on the line of credit and to fund the
     ongoing acquisition and development of properties.

     In April 1998, the Company sold 1,500,000 Series D Cumulative Redeemable
     Preferred Units (the "Series D Preferred Units") to an institutional
     investor for $50.00 per unit. Dividends are payable at an annual rate of
     7.6875%. The Series D Preferred Units may be called at par on or after
     April 20, 2003, and have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption. The
     Series D Preferred Units are exchangeable for the Series D Cumulative
     Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company on or after April 20, 2008. The
     net proceeds of $73.1 million for the Series D Preferred Units were used to

     Partnership.

     Redeemable Preferred Stock for $25.00 per share. Dividends are payable at
     an annual rate of 8.00% of the liquidation preference of $100.0 million.
     Net proceeds of $96.8 million were used principally to repay borrowings on
     the unsecured line of credit and to fund the ongoing acquisition and
     development of property.

     In 1997 the Operating Partnership issued $500.0 million of investment grade
     rated debt in three tranches as follows: On July 14, 1997, the Operating
     Partnership issued $150.0 million of investment grade rated unsecured
     notes. The notes carry an interest rate of 7.125%, were priced to yield

     Partnership issued $150.0 million of investment grade rated unsecured

     notes due February 2, 2007 and $25.0 million of 6.875% notes due April 30,
     2007.

     As of June 30, 1998, the Operating Partnership had in total $1.4 billion of
     investment grade rated unsecured debt securities outstanding. The debt
     securities have interest rates which vary from 6.65% to 8.0%, and maturity
     dates which range from 2000 to 2027. Through its issuance of debt the
     Company has extended the average maturity for its unsecured debt from 6.4
     years at June 30, 1997, to 9.7 years at June 30, 1998.

     The Operating Partnership has a $250.0 million unsecured line of credit
     facility (the "Facility") with interest at London Interbank Offered Rates
     ("LIBOR") plus .80%. The Facility matures in August 2001. This facility has
     a competitive bid option that allows the Operating Partnership to request
     bids from the Lenders for advances up to $150.0 million. At June 30, 1998,
     the Operating Partnership had $75.0 million outstanding under the Facility.

     facility carries interest at LIBOR plus 0.65% and matures in November 1998
     with an option to extend for one more year.

     "Mortgages") at June 30, 1998. The Mortgages have interest rates varying
     from 10.0% to 7.4% and maturity dates from 1998 to 2013. The Mortgages are
     secured by a first or second deed of trust on the related properties and
     generally require monthly principal and interest payments. The Company also
     has $16.4 million of assessment bonds outstanding as of June 30, 1998.

     The Company and Operating Partnership filed a shelf registration statement
     (the "May 1998 Shelf Registration Statement") with SEC which registered
     $500.0 million of equity securities of the Company and $500.0 million of
     debt securities of the Operating Partnership, which became effective in May
     1998.

     After completion of the equity and debt offerings, the Company has the
     capacity pursuant to a shelf registration statement declared effective in
     September 1997 (the "September 1997 Registration Statement") and the May
     1998 Shelf Registration Statement to issue up to approximately $663.8
     million in equity securities and the Operating Partnership has the capacity
     pursuant to the September 1997 Registration Statement and the May 1998
     Shelf Registration Statement to issue up to $813.5 million in debt
     securities.

     FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

     The Operating Partnership considers Funds from Operations to be a useful
     financial measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT because,
     together with net income and cash flows, Funds from Operations provides
     investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to
     incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions, developments, and other
     capital expenditures. Funds from Operations does not represent net income
     or cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
     principles ("GAAP") and Funds from Operations should not be considered as
     an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
     performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
     Funds from Operations does not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to
     fund all of the Operating Partnership's cash needs including principal
     amortization, capital improvements, and distributions to stockholders.
     Funds from Operations does not represent cash flows from operating,
     investing, or financing activities as defined by GAAP. Further, Funds from
     Operations as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to the
     Operating Partnership's calculation of Funds from Operations, as described
     below.

     Pursuant to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
     ("NAREIT") revised definition of Funds from Operations, the Operating
     Partnership calculates Funds from Operations by adjusting net income before
     minority interest, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for certain non-cash
     items, principally the amortization and depreciation of real property and
     for dividends on shares and other equity interests that are not convertible
     into shares of Common Stock. The Operating Partnership does not add back
     the depreciation of corporate 



                                       20
<PAGE>   21

     items, such as computers or furniture and fixtures, or the amortization of
     deferred financing costs or debt discount. However, the Operating
     Partnership eliminates the effect of straight-lined rents, as defined under
     GAAP, in its FFO calculation, as management believes this presents a more
     meaningful picture of rental income over the reporting period.

     Funds from Operations per share is calculated based on weighted average
     share equivalents outstanding, assuming the conversion of all shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock, Class B and, Class C Common Stock and all
     partnership units in the Operating Partnership into shares of Common Stock
     and including the dilutive effect of stock options.

1,500,000 Series D Preferred Units.

     6.   The Initial Series D Limited Partner hereby agrees to be subject and
bound at all times to all of the terms and conditions of the Partnership
Agreement, as now in effect, as amended hereby or as hereafter amended. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Initial Series D Limited Partner acknowledges
and agrees that it is bound by Article XII of the Partnership Agreement which
provides for the arbitration of disputes arising under the Partnership Agreement
and is deemed to have made all of the representations, warranties,
acknowledgments, waivers and agreements set forth in Sections 13.12, 13.13 and
13.14 of the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, that nothing set forth in
Section 13.12 of the Partnership Agreement and this Section 6 shall limit any of
the representations, warranties and agreements made by the General Partner and
the Partnership in the Belair Contribution Agreement and the General Partner and
the Partnership acknowledge and agree to such reliance upon such
representations, warranties and agreements. Each of the Company and the Initial
Series D Limited Partner represent to the other that it is not aware of any
facts or circumstances that would cause the restrictions on transfer set forth
in Section 9.3 of the Partnership Agreement not to be satisfied.

     7.   Section 4.3(c) of the Partnership Agreement is hereby modified by
adding the phrase "or Preferred Stock" after the phrase "of Common Stock" the
first time it appears in the second line and the only time it appears in the
fourth and fifth lines.

     8.   Section 4.4 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby modified by adding
the phrase "or Preferred Stock" after the phrase "Common Stock" each of the
three times it appears.

     9.   Section 4.10 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby modified by adding
to the end of the first sentence the phrase "and the Series A Percentage
Interest had been cancelled in proportion to the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock so converted."

     10.  A new Section 4.14 is hereby added to the Partnership Agreement as
follows:

          4.14 Redemption of Series D Preferred Units. (a) Right of Optional
     Redemption. The Series D Preferred Units may not be redeemed prior to April
     20, 2003. On or after such date, the Partnership shall have the right to
     redeem the Series D Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at any time or
     from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written
     notice, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the Capital
     Account balance of the holders of Series D Preferred Units (the "Series D
     Redemption Price"); provided, however, that no redemption pursuant to this
     Section 4.14 will be permitted if the Series D Redemption Price does not
     equal or exceed the original Capital Contribution of such holders plus the
     cumulative Series D Preferred Return, whether or not declared, to the
     redemption date to the extent not previously distributed. If fewer than all
     of the outstanding Series D Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Series
     D Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (based on the
     percentage of the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units that the
     total number of Series D Preferred Units held by a holder represents) (as
     nearly as practicable without creating fractional units).

               (b) Limitation on Redemption. (i) The Series D Redemption Price
     of the Series D Preferred Units (other than the portion thereof consisting
     of accumulated but unpaid distributions) will be payable solely out of the
     sale proceeds (without giving effect to any temporary use of such proceeds)
     of capital stock of the General Partner, which will be contributed by the
     General Partner to the Partnership as an additional Capital Contribution,
     or out of the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and from no other
     source. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "capital stock" means any
     equity securities (including Common Stock and Preferred Stock (as such
     terms are defined in the Charter)), depositary shares, participations or
     other ownership interests (however designated) and any rights (other than
     debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities),
     warrants or options to purchase any of the foregoing.

               (ii) The Partnership may not redeem fewer than all of the
     outstanding Series D Preferred Units unless all accumulated and unpaid
     distributions have been 


                                       -5-

<PAGE>   6

     paid on all Series D Preferred Units for all quarterly distribution periods
     terminating on or prior to the date of redemption.

               (c) Procedures for Redemption. (i) Notice of redemption will be
     given by mail and telecopier (if possible) in accordance with Section 13.1
     of the Partnership Agreement, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
     to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of
     the Series D Preferred Units at their respective addresses as they appear
     in the records of the Partnership. No failure to give or defect in such
     notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
     any Series D Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom such notice
     was not given. In addition to any information required by law, each such
     notice shall state: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the Series D Redemption
     Price, (iii) the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units to be
     redeemed and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series D Preferred Units
     are to be redeemed, the number of Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed
     held by such holder, which number shall equal such holder's pro rata share
     (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of outstanding Series D
     Preferred Units that the total number of Series D Preferred Units held by
     such holder represents) of the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units
     to be redeemed, (iv) the place or places where such Series D Preferred
     Units are to be surrendered for payment of the Series D Redemption Price,
     (v) that distributions on the Series D Preferred Units to be redeemed will
     cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (vi) that payment of the
     Series D Redemption Price will be made upon presentation and surrender of
     such Series D Preferred Units and a duly executed certificate in the form
     attached hereto as Exhibit J-1.

               (ii) The redemption price shall be payable to the holders of the
     Series D Preferred Units upon presentation and surrender of the Series D
     Preferred Units by such holders and delivery of a duly executed certificate
     in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 at the place designated in the
     notice of redemption. If the Series D Preferred Units are evidenced by a
     certificate and if fewer than all Series D Preferred Units evidenced by any
     certificate are being redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued upon
     surrender of the certificate evidencing all Series D Preferred Units,
     evidencing the unredeemed Series D Preferred Units without cost to the
     holder thereof. On and after the date of redemption, distributions will
     cease to accumulate on the Series D Preferred Units or portions thereof
     called for redemption, unless the Partnership defaults in the payment
     thereof. If any date fixed for redemption of Series D Preferred Units is
     not a Business Day, then payment of the Series D Redemption Price payable
     on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Bay
     (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay)
     except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such
     payment will be made on the immediately preceding


                                       -6-

<PAGE>   7

     Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on 
     such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Series D Redemption Price
     is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Partnership, 
     distributions on such Series D Preferred Units will continue to accumulate 
     from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the
     actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for 
     purposes of calculating the applicable Series D Redemption Price.

     11.  Section 6.2(a)(i) of the Partnership Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety, and the following is hereby substituted in the place thereof:

               (i) First, pro rata (in the proportion that amounts due and
     unpaid pursuant to each of clause (x), clause (y) and clause (z) bear to
     the total amounts due and unpaid pursuant to clause (x), clause (y) and
     clause (z) in the aggregate) (x) to the General Partner, on account of the
     Series A Preferred Interest, the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
     Interest, the Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest and the
     Series D Preferred Interest on a pro rata basis, until the total amount of
     distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (i)
     equals the total amount of accrued but unpaid dividends (if any) on the
     Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
     Stock, the Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Series D
     Preferred Stock as of the date of such distribution, (y) to the WCB Limited
     Partners, on account of the WCB Partnership Units, an amount equal to the
     sum of [1] the WCB Preferred Return as to such period plus [2] the accrued
     but unpaid WCB Preferred Return in respect of any prior period and (z) to
     the Series D Limited Partners, on account of the Series D Preferred Units
     held by such Series D Limited Partners, an amount equal to the sum of [1]
     the Series D Preferred Return as to such period plus [2] the accrued but
     unpaid Series D Preferred Return in respect of any prior period;

     12.  New Sections 6.2(f), (g) and (h) are hereby added to the Partnership
Agreement as follows:

          (f) Distributions on the Series D Preferred Units will accumulate
     whether or not the terms and provisions of any agreement of the
     Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, at any
     time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the
     Partnership has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available
     for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions
     are authorized. Distributions on the Series D Preferred Units are payable
     on the Series D Distribution Payment


                                       -7-

<PAGE>   8

     Date. If any date on which distributions are to be made on the Series D 
     Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then payment of the distribution to 
     be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a
     Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
     such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
     calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
     Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on
     such date. Distributions on the Series D Preferred Units on account of
     arrears for any past distribution periods may be declared and paid at any
     time. Accumulated and unpaid distributions on the Series D Preferred Units
     will not bear interest.

          (g) So long as any Series D Preferred Units are outstanding,
     notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in clauses (c), (d) and
     (e) above, no distribution of cash or other property shall be authorized,
     declared, paid or set apart for payment on or with respect to any class or
     series of Partnership Interest of the Partnership ranking junior as to the
     payment of distributions to the Series D Preferred Units (collectively,
     "Series D Junior Units"), nor shall cash or other property be set aside for
     or applied to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for
     consideration of any Series D Preferred Units, any Series D Parity
     Preferred Units or any Series D Junior Units, unless, in each case, all
     distributions accumulated for prior quarterly distribution periods on all
     Series D Preferred Units and all classes and series of outstanding Series D
     Parity Preferred Units have been paid in full. The foregoing sentence will
     not prohibit (i) distributions payable solely in Series D Junior Units,
     (ii) the conversion of Series D Junior Units or Series D Parity Preferred
     Units into Partnership Interests of the Partnership ranking junior to the
     Series D Preferred Units as to distributions, (iii) the exchange of Series
     D Junior Units or Series D Parity Preferred Units of the Partnership into
     capital stock of the General Partner and the corresponding issuance of
     Series D Junior Units or Series D Parity Preferred Units, as applicable, to
     the General Partner or (iv) the redemption of Partnership Interests
     corresponding to any Series D Preferred Stock, Parity Stock (as defined in
     the Articles Supplementary with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock) or
     Junior Stock (as defined in the Articles Supplementary with respect to the
     Series D Preferred Stock) to be purchased by the General Partner pursuant
     to Article NINTH of the Articles of Incorporation of the General Partner
     (the "Charter"), provided that such redemption shall be upon the same terms
     as the corresponding purchase pursuant to Article NINTH of the Charter.

          (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may, in its
     sole discretion, make one or more special distributions to itself, alone,
     for the sole purpose of, and in an amount no greater than such amount as
     will be used by the General Partner for, the purchase of all or any portion
     of any capital stock


                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9

     pursuant to Article NINTH of the Charter (any such distribution shall be 
     referred to as an "Excess Stock Purchase Distribution"). There shall be no 
     adjustment of the then current Percentage Interests of the Partners on
     account of any Excess Stock Purchase Distribution.

     13.  A new Section 11.4 is hereby added to the Partnership Agreement as 
follows:

          11.4 Series D Rights. (a) Right to Exchange. (i) Series D Preferred
     Units will be exchangeable in whole or in part at anytime on or after April
     20, 2008, at the option of the holders thereof, for authorized but
     previously unissued shares of Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
     Stock of the General Partner (the "Series D Preferred Stock") at an
     exchange rate of one share of Series D Preferred Stock for one Series D
     Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment as described below (the "Series D
     Exchange Price"), provided that the Series D Preferred Units will become
     exchangeable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders
     of Series D Preferred Units for Series D Preferred Stock if (y) at any time
     full distributions shall not have been timely made on any Series D
     Preferred Unit with respect to six (6) prior quarterly distribution
     periods, whether or not consecutive, provided, however, that a distribution
     in respect of Series D Preferred Units shall be considered timely made if
     made within two (2) Business Days after the applicable Series D
     Distribution Payment Date if at the time of such late payment there shall
     not be any prior quarterly distribution periods in respect of which full
     distributions were not made or (z) upon receipt by a holder or holders of
     Series D Preferred Units of (A) notice from the General Partner that the
     General Partner or a subsidiary of the General Partner has taken the
     position that the Partnership is, or upon the occurrence of a defined event
     in the immediate future will be, a PTP and (B) an opinion rendered by a
     nationally recognized counsel familiar with such matters addressed to a
     holder or holders of Series D Preferred Units, that the Partnership is or
     likely is, or upon the occurrence of a defined event in the immediate
     future will be or likely will be, a PTP. In addition, the Series D
     Preferred Units may be exchanged for Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or
     in part, at the option any holder prior to April 20, 2008 and after April
     20, 2001 if such holders of a Series D Preferred Units shall deliver to the
     General Partner either (i) a private letter ruling addressed to such holder
     of Series D Preferred Units or (ii) an opinion of counsel reasonably
     acceptable to the General Partner based on the enactment of temporary or
     final Treasury Regulations or the publication of a Revenue Ruling, in
     either case to the effect that an exchange of the Series D


                                       -9-

<PAGE>   10

     Preferred Units at such earlier time would not cause the Series D Preferred
     Units to be considered "stock and securities" within the meaning of section
     351(e) of Code for purposes of determining whether the holder of such
     Series D Preferred Units is an "investment company" under section 721(b) of
     the Code if an exchange is permitted at such earlier date. Furthermore, the
     Series D Preferred Units may be exchanged in whole or in part for Series D
     Preferred Stock, if both (1) the holder concludes based on results or
     projected results that there exists (in the reasonable judgment of the
     holder) an imminent and substantial risk that such holder's interest in the
     Partnership represents or will represent more than 19.5% of the total
     profits or capital interests in the partnership for a taxable year, and (2)
     the holder thereof delivers to the Company an opinion of a nationally
     recognized counsel, to the effect that there is a substantial risk that
     such holder's interest in the Partnership will represent more than 19.5% of
     the total profits or capital interests in the Partnership (determined in
     accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.731-2(e)(4)); provided,
     however, in no event shall such a risk be deemed to exist unless such
     percentage exceeds 15% at such time.

          (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section
     11.4(a)(i), if a Series D Exercise Notice has been delivered to the General
     Partner, then the General Partner may, at its option, elect to redeem or
     cause the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding Series
     D Preferred Units for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital
     Contribution per Series D Preferred Unit and all accumulated and unpaid
     distributions thereon to the date of redemption. The General Partner may
     exercise its option to redeem the Series D Preferred Units for cash
     pursuant to this Section 11.4(a)(ii) by giving each holder of record of
     Series D Preferred Units notice of its election to redeem for cash, within
     five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Series D Exercise Notice, by
     telecopier (if possible) in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Partnership
     Agreement stating (i) the redemption date, which shall be no later than
     sixty (60) days following the receipt of the Series D Exercise Notice, (ii)
     the redemption price, (iii) the place or places where the Series D
     Preferred Units are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price,
     (iv) that distributions on the Series D Preferred Units will cease to
     accrue on such redemption date, (v) that payment of the redemption price
     will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Series D Preferred
     Units and delivery of a duly executed certificate in the form attached
     hereto as Exhibit J-1 and (vi) the aggregate number of Series D Preferred
     Units to be redeemed, and if fewer than all of the outstanding Series D
     Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number of Series D Preferred Units
     to be redeemed held by such holder, which number shall equal such holder's
     pro-rata share (based on the percentage of the aggregate number of
     outstanding Series D Preferred Units


                                      -10-

<PAGE>   11

     that the total number of Series D Preferred Units held by such holder
     represents) (as nearly as possible without creating fractional units) of
     the aggregate number of Series D Preferred Units being redeemed.

          (iii) In the event an exchange of all or a portion of Series D
     Preferred Units pursuant to Section 11.4(a)(i) would violate the provisions
     on ownership limitation of the General Partner set forth in Article NINTH
     of the Charter, the General Partner shall give written notice thereof to
     each holder of record of Series D Preferred Units, within five (5) Business
     Days following receipt of the Series D Exercise Notice, by telecopier (if
     possible) in accordance with Section 13.1 of the Partnership Agreement. In
     such event, each holder of Series D Preferred Units shall be entitled to
     exchange a number of Series D Preferred Units which would comply with the
     provisions on the ownership limitation of the General Partner set forth in
     such Article NINTH of the Charter and any Series D Preferred Units not so
     exchanged (the "Series D Excess Units") shall be redeemed by the
     Partnership for cash in an amount equal to the original Capital
     Contribution per Excess Unit, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions
     thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of redemption. The written
     notice of the General Partner shall state (i) the number of Series D Excess
     Units held by such holder, (ii) the redemption price of the Series D Excess
     Units, (iii) the date on which such Series D Excess Units shall be
     redeemed, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the
     receipt of the Series D Exercise Notice, (iv) the place or places where
     such Series D Excess Units are to be surrendered for payment of the
     redemption price, (v) that distributions on the Series D Excess Units will
     cease to accrue on such redemption date and (vi) that payment of the
     redemption price will be made upon presentation and surrender of such
     Series D Excess Units and delivery of a duly executed certificate in the
     form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1. In the event an exchange would result
     in Series D Excess Units, as a condition to such exchange, each holder of
     such units agrees to provide representations and covenants reasonably
     requested by the General Partner relating to (i) the widely held nature of
     the interests in such holder, sufficient to assure the General Partner that
     the holder's ownership of stock of the General Partner (without regard to
     the limits described above) will not cause any individual to own in excess
     of 9.9% of the stock of the General Partner; and (ii) to the extent such
     holder can so represent and covenant without obtaining information from its
     owners, the holder's ownership of tenants of the Partnership and its
     Affiliates. For purposes of determining the number of Series D Excess Units
     under this Section 11.4(a)(iii), the "Ownership Limit" set forth in Article
     NINTH of the General Partner's Charter shall be deemed to be 0.8 percentage
     points less than the limit set forth in such Article NINTH.

          (iv) The redemption of Series D Preferred Units described in Section
     11.4(a)(ii) and (iii) shall be subject to the provisions of Section
     4.14(b)(i) and 


                                      -11-

<PAGE>   12

     Section 4.14(c)(ii); provided, however, that the term "Series D Redemption
     Price" in such Sections shall be read to mean the original Capital
     Contribution per Series D Preferred Unit being redeemed plus all accrued
     and unpaid distributions to the redemption date.

          (v) All exchanges shall be in accordance with the attached Exhibit I.

          (vi) In the event of an exchange of Series D Preferred Units into
     shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Units shall no
     longer be outstanding and the General Partner shall receive a Series D
     Preferred Interest in exchange for the issuance of the Series D Preferred
     Stock.

     14.  A new Section 13.7(d) is hereby added to the Partnership Agreement as
follows:

          (d) The Series D Limited Partners shall have no voting or consent
     rights except for such matters as are required by California law or as set
     forth below. So long as any Series D Preferred Units remain outstanding,
     the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of
     at least two-thirds of the Series D Preferred Units outstanding at the time
     (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of,
     any class or series of Partnership Interests ranking senior to the Series D
     Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions or rights upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or reclassify any Partnership
     Interests of the Partnership into any such Partnership Interest, or create,
     authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or
     evidencing the right to purchase any such Partnership Interests, (ii)
     authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of any
     Series D Parity Preferred Units or reclassify any Partnership Interest of
     the Partnership into any such Partnership Interest or create, authorize or
     issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right
     to purchase any such Partnership Interests, but only to the extent such
     Series D Parity Preferred Units are authorized, created or increased solely
     for the purpose of issuance to an affiliate of the Partnership, other than
     the General Partner to the extent the issuance of such interests was to
     allow the General Partner to issue corresponding preferred stock to persons
     who are not affiliates of the Partnership, (iii) amend any provision of
     this Section 13.7(d) or (iv) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the
     Partnership Agreement, whether by merger, consolidation, sale or lease of
     all of the Partnership's assets as an entirety or otherwise, that would
     materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences,
     privileges or voting power of the Series D Preferred Units or the holders
     thereof; provided, however, that with


                                      -12-

<PAGE>   13

     respect to the occurrence of a merger, consolidation or a sale or lease of
     all of the Partnership's assets as an entirety, so long as (a) the
     Partnership is the surviving entity and the Series D Preferred Units remain
     outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged, or (b) the resulting,
     surviving or transferee entity is a partnership, limited liability company
     or other pass-through entity organized under the laws of any state and
     substitutes the Series D Preferred Units for other interests in such entity
     having substantially the same terms and rights as the Series D Preferred
     Units, including with respect to distributions, voting rights and rights
     upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, then the occurrence of any
     such event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such
     rights, privileges or voting powers of the holders of the Series D
     Preferred Units; and provided further that any increase in the amount of
     Partnership Interests or the authorization, creation or issuance of any
     other class or series of Partnership Interests, in each case ranking (a)
     junior to the Series D Preferred Units with respect to payment of
     distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
     or winding-up, or (b) on a parity to the Series D Preferred Units with
     respect to payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to the extent such Partnership
     Interest are not authorized, created or increased solely for the purpose of
     issuance to an affiliate of the Partnership, other than the General Partner
     to the extent the issuance of such interests was to allow the General
     Partner to issue corresponding preferred stock to persons who are not

                                   ALLOCATIONS


1.   Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss.

     (a) Net Income. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Income for any
fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated in the following order
and priority:

          (1) First, to the Partners, until the cumulative Net Income allocated
pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(1) for the current and all prior periods
equals the cumulative Net Loss allocated pursuant to Subparagraphs 1(b)(3) and
(4) hereof for all prior periods, among the Partners in the reverse order that
such Net Loss was allocated (and, in the event of a shift of a Partner's
interest in the Partnership, to the Partners in a manner that most equitably
reflects the successors in interest of such Partners);

          (2) Second, to the General Partner, the WCB Limited Partners and the
Series D Limited Partners, until the cumulative Net Income allocated pursuant to
this Subparagraph 1(a)(2) for the current and all prior periods equals the
cumulative Net Loss allocated pursuant to Subparagraph 1(b)(2) hereof for all
prior periods;

          (3) Third, in equal priority, (x) to the General Partner until the
cumulative amount of Net Income allocated pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(3),
Subparagraph 1(a)(3) of Exhibit E to the First Restated Agreement as in effect
immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment thereto and Subparagraph 1(c)(1)(iii)
of Exhibit E to the First Restated Agreement as in effect immediately prior to
the Third Amendment thereto equals the total amount of dividends paid on the
Series A Preferred Stock as of or prior to the date of such allocation plus the
total amount of accrued but unpaid dividends on any Series A Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding as of such date, plus the total amount of dividends paid
on the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as of or prior to the date
of such allocation plus the total amount of accrued but unpaid dividends on any
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of such
date, plus the total amount of dividends paid on the Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock as of or prior to the date of such allocation plus
the total amount of accrued but unpaid dividends on any Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of such date, (y) to the
WCB Limited Partners until the cumulative amount of Net Income allocated
pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(3) equals the total amount of distributions
made to the WCB Limited Partners pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of this Agreement
and (z) to the Series D Limited Partners until the cumulative amount of Net
Income allocated pursuant to this


                                       B-1

<PAGE>   20

Subparagraph 1(a)(3) equals the total amount of distributions made to the Series
D Limited Partners pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of this Agreement;

          (4) Fourth, to the General Partner on account of the Common B Interest
and the Common C Interest, an amount equal to the sum of (x) $0.0625 per annum
multiplied by the number of shares issued and outstanding of Class B Common
Stock, plus (y) $0.05 per annum multiplied by the number of shares issued and
outstanding of Class C Common Stock, prorated on a daily basis over each
calendar year, and adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect any variance in the
number of such shares issued and outstanding from time to time; and

          (5) Thereafter, the balance of the Net Income, if any, shall be
allocated to the Partners holding Standard Partnership Units in accordance with
their respective Standard Percentages.

     (b) Net Loss. Net Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other 
applicable period shall be allocated as follows:

          (1) First, to the Partners (other than the WCB Limited Partners with
respect to their WCB Partnership Units and the Series D Limited Partners with
respect to their Series D Preferred Units) in accordance with their respective
Standard Percentages until the Capital Account balances of the Limited Partners
(other than the WCB Limited Partners with respect to their WCB Partnership Units
and the Series D Limited Partners with respect to their Series D Preferred
Units) are reduced to zero (for purpose of this calculation, such Partners'
share of Partnership Minimum Gain shall be added back to their Capital
Accounts);

          (2) Second, to the General Partner, the WCB Limited Partners (to the
extent of their WCB Partnership Units) and the Series D Limited Partners (to the
extent of their Series D Preferred Units), in proportion to their positive
Capital Account balances, until their Capital Account balances have been reduced
to zero (for purpose of this calculation, such Partners' share of Partnership
Minimum Gain shall be added back to their Capital Accounts);

          (3) Thereafter, to the Partners holding Standard Partnership Units in
accordance with their then Standard Percentages; and

          (4) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Subparagraph
1(b), to the extent that any Net Loss allocated to a Partner under Subparagraph
1(b) would cause such Partner (hereinafter, a "Restricted Partner") to have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the fiscal year to which such
Net Loss relates, such Net Loss shall not be allocated to such Restricted
Partner and instead


                                       B-2

<PAGE>   21

shall be allocated to the other Partner(s) (hereinafter, the "Permitted
Partners") pro rata in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.

     (c) Book-Up and Capital Account Adjustments. On any day on which Series A
Preferred Stock is redeemed or converted into Common Stock or the Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemed or the Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemed or any WCB Partnership Units are
converted into Standard Partnership Units, the Partnership may, in the
discretion of the General Partner, adjust the Gross Asset Values of all
Partnership assets to equal their respective gross fair market values and shall
allocate the amount of such adjustment as Net Income or Net Loss pursuant to
Paragraph 1(a) hereof.

2.   Special Allocations.

     Notwithstanding any provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the
following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

     (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). If there is a net
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year (except as
a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership indebtedness, certain
capital contributions or revaluation of the Partnership property as further
outlined in Regulation Sections 1.704- 2(d)(4), (f)(2) or (f)(3)), each Partner
shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year
(and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share
of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This
Paragraph 2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this Paragraph 2(a) shall be
made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner pursuant hereto.

     (b) Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a
net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any
fiscal year (other than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in
the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly nonrecourse,
certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of Partnership property
as further outlined in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)), each Partner shall be
specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the
net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This Paragraph 2(b) is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt
contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. 


                                       B-3

<PAGE>   22

Allocations pursuant to this Paragraph 2(b) shall be made in proportion to the 
respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

     (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Limited Partner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and such Limited Partner has an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be
specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This
Paragraph 2(c) is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" under
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

     (d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or
other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests.

     (e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any
fiscal year or other applicable period shall be specially allocated to the
Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt (i.e., the Partner
Nonrecourse Debt) in respect of which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are
attributable (as determined under Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1)).

     (f) Curative Allocations. It is the intent of the Partnership that, to the
extent possible, the Capital Account balances of the Partners be in the
following relationship: (1) first, the Capital Account of the General Partner
should be at least equal to $25.00 multiplied by the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock and Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Capital
Accounts of the WCB Limited Partners should be at least equal to the WCB
Partnership Unit Issue Price multiplied by the number of issued and outstanding
WCB Partnership Units and the Capital Accounts of the Series D Limited Partners
should be at least equal to the Series D Preferred Unit Issue Price multiplied
by the number of issued and outstanding Series D Preferred Units; and (2)
second, the Limited Partners' (other than the WCB Limited Partners with respect
to their WCB Partnership Units and the Series D Limited Partners with respect to
their Series D Preferred Units) Capital Account balances and the General
Partner's Capital Account balance in excess of the product described in clause
(1) above should be in proportion to their Standard Percentages. Thus, items of
"book" income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners
so that, to the extent possible, the resulting Partners' Capital Account
balances bear this relationship. This Paragraph 2(f) is intended to minimize to
the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which
may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. For purposes hereof, "Regulatory
Allocations" shall mean 


                                       B-4

<PAGE>   23

the allocations provided under Subparagraph 1(b)(2) and this Paragraph 2 (save 
Subparagraphs 2(d) and (f) hereof).

     (g) Merit Plan. To the extent that the Partnership recognizes income or
gain or is entitled to deduction, expense or loss with respect to transfers of
interests pursuant to the Merit Plan, all such items shall be allocated among
the Limited Partners in accordance with the Merit Plan.

3.   Tax Allocations.

     (a) Generally. Subject to Paragraphs 3(b) and (c) below, items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes
(collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Partners on the same
basis as their respective book items.

     (b) Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the sale of
property is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the
application of Code Section 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"), then (A) such
Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that
the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain
were allocated and (B) other Tax Items of gain of the same character that would
have been recognized, but for the application of Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250,
shall be allocated away from those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain
pursuant to Clause (A) so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are
allocated the same amount, and type, of capital gain that would have been
allocated to them had Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250 not applied; provided,
however, that the net amount of Tax Items allocated to each Partner shall be the
same as if this Paragraph 3(a) did not exist. For purposes hereof, in order to
determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization
deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions
shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income and Net Loss for such
respective period.

     (c) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) and Revaluations. If any
Partnership property is subject to Code Section 704(c) or is reflected in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners and on the books of the Partnership at a book
value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then the tax
items with respect to such property shall, in accordance with the requirements
of Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(4)(i), be shared among the Partners in a
manner that takes account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis of the
applicable property and its book value in the same manner as variations between
the adjusted tax basis and fair market value of property contributed to the
Partnership are taken into account in determining the Partners' share of tax
items under Code Section 704(c). The General Partner is authorized to choose any
reasonable method permitted by the Regulations pursuant to Code Section 704(c),


                                       B-5

<PAGE>   24

including the "remedial" method, the "curative" method and the "traditional"
method; provided that the General Partner agrees to use reasonable efforts to
minimize the amount of taxable income in excess of book income allocated to the
holders of the Series D Preferred Units.

     (d) Code Section 752 Specification. Pursuant to Regulations Section
1.752-3, the interest of the Partners holding Standard Partnership Units in
Partnership profits for purposes of determining the Partners' shares of excess
nonrecourse liabilities shall be their Standard Percentages.

                                    EXHIBIT I

                              SERIES D RIGHTS TERMS


     The Series D Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1.   DELIVERY OF SERIES D EXERCISE NOTICES. Any one or more Series D
Limited Partners possessing Series D Rights may deliver to the General Partner a
Series D Exercise Notice pursuant to which such Series D Limited Partners elect
to exercise their Series D Rights to convert all or any portion of their Series
D Preferred Units into shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

     2.   TIMING OF EXERCISE. The exchange of Series D Preferred Units, or a
specified portion thereof, may be effected after the fifth (5th) Business Day
following receipt by the General Partner of the Series D Exercise Notice by
delivering certificates, if any, representing such Series D Preferred Units to
be exchanged together with a duly executed certificate in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J-1 and, if applicable, written notice of exchange and a
proper assignment of such Series D Preferred Units to the principal place of
business of the General Partner set forth in Section 2.4 of the Partnership
Agreement. Each exchange will be deemed to have been effected immediately prior
to the close of business on the date on which such Series D Preferred Units to
be exchanged (together with all required documentation) shall have been
surrendered and notice shall have been received by the General Partner as
aforesaid and the Series D Exchange Price shall have been paid. Any Series D
Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Exhibit I shall be delivered as shares
which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of
pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction other than those granted or imposed
upon the holder or provided in the Charter, the Bylaws of the General Partner,
the Securities Act and relevant state securities or blue sky laws.

          (ii) In the event of an exchange of Series D Preferred Units in shares
of Series D Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid
distributions, whether or not declared, to the date of exchange on any Series D
Preferred Units tendered for exchange shall accumulate on the shares of the
Series D Preferred Stock into which such Series D Preferred Units are exchanged.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall a
holder of a Series D Preferred Unit that was validly exchanged into Series D
Preferred Stock pursuant to this section, receive a distribution out of Net
Operating Cash Flow of the Partnership, if such holder, after exchange, is
entitled to receive a distribution out of Net Operating Cash Flow with respect
to the share of Series D Preferred Stock for which such Series D Preferred Unit
was exchanged or redeemed.


                                       I-1

<PAGE>   26

          (iii) Fractional shares of Series D Preferred Stock are not to be
issued upon exchange but, in lieu thereof, the General Partner will pay a cash
adjustment based upon the fair market value of the Series D Preferred Stock on
the day prior to the exchange date as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the General Partner.

     3.   COMPUTATION OF CONSIDERATION. With respect to the exercise of Series D
Rights, the consideration payable for the Series D Preferred Units shall be the
issuance by the General Partner of the Series D Exchange Price. The Series D
Exchange Price is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including, (i)
subdivisions, combinations and reclassification of the Series D Preferred Stock,
and (ii) distributions to all holders of Series D Preferred Stock of evidences
of indebtedness of the General Partner or assets (including securities, but
excluding dividends and distributions paid in cash on the Series D Preferred
Stock).

          (ii) In case the General Partner shall be a party to any transaction 
(including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, tender offer for all or substantially all of the General Partner's
capital stock or sale of all or substantially all of the General Partner's
assets), in each case as a result of which the Series D Preferred Stock will be
converted into the right to receive shares of capital stock, other securities or
other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each Series D
Preferred Unit will thereafter be exchangeable into the kind and amount of
shares of capital stock and other securities and property (including cash or any
combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such transaction by a
holder of that number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or fraction thereof
into which one Series D Preferred Unit was exchangeable immediately prior to
such transaction. The General Partner may not become a party to any such
transaction without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds
of the Series D Preferred Units outstanding at the time unless the terms thereof
are consistent with the foregoing.

     4.   CLOSING. The closing of the exercise of the Series D Rights shall,
unless otherwise mutually agreed, be held at the principal offices of the
General Partner. At such closing, the General Partner shall deliver a stock
certificate or certificates representing the Series D Exchange Price and
evidencing the Series D Preferred Stock to be issued and registered in the name
of such Series D Limited Partner or its designee and such Series D Limited
