           This annual  report on Form 10-K  contains  certain  "forward-looking
statements",   including  but  not  limited  to   anticipated   timetables   for
acquisitions,   developments  and  expansions,   expected   economic  growth  in
geographic  markets where CRLP owns or expects to own properties,  and plans for
continuing  CRLP's  diversified  strategy.  These  statements  involve risks and
uncertainties  that may cause actual  results to be  materially  different  from

connection  with these  forward-looking  statements,  the various  risk  factors
identified  herein and in CRLP's  filings  with the SEC which could cause actual

           CRLP is the Operating Partnership of the Company, which is one of the
largest  owners,  developers  and  operators of  multifamily,  retail and office
properties in the Sunbelt region of the United States. It is a  fully-integrated

Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
and Virginia, development of new properties, acquisition of existing properties,
build-to-suit  development,  and  the  provision  of  management,  leasing,  and
brokerage  services for commercial  real estate.  As of December 31, 1998,  CRLP
owned  49  multifamily  apartment  communities  containing  a  total  of  15,381
apartment units (the "Multifamily Properties"),  40 retail properties containing
a total of  approximately  13.5 million square feet of retail space (the "Retail
Properties"),  17 office  properties  containing  a total of  approximately  2.7
million  square  feet of office  space (the  "Office  Properties"),  and certain

the Multifamily  Properties that had achieved stabilized  occupancy,  the Retail
Properties,  and the  Office  Properties  were  93.5%,  91.9% and 92.2%  leased,
respectively.

           CRLP's  executive  offices  are located at 2101 Sixth  Avenue  North,
Suite  750,  Birmingham,  Alabama,  35203  and its  telephone  number  is  (205)
250-8700. CRLP was formed in Delaware on August 6, 1993.


Formation of the Company

           The Operating Partnership were formed to succeed to substantially all
of  the  interests  of  Colonial   Properties,   Inc.,  an  Alabama  corporation
("Colonial"),  its affiliates  and certain others in a diversified  portfolio of
multifamily,  retail,  and office properties  located in Alabama,  Florida,  and
Georgia and to the development,  acquisition, management, leasing, and brokerage
businesses of Colonial.

           On September 29, 1993, (i) the Company  consummated an initial public
offering (the "IPO") of 8,480,000 of its common  shares of beneficial  interest,
$.01 par value per  share  ("Common  Shares"),  (ii) the  Operating  Partnership
assumed  ownership of 36  Properties  (or  interests  therein) held by Thomas H.
Lowder,  James K. Lowder,  Robert E. Lowder, and their mother,  Catherine Lowder
(the "Lowder family"),  and third-party  partners of the Lowder family,  and the
operating businesses of Colonial, (iii) the Company transferred the net proceeds
from the IPO through Colonial Properties Holding Company,  Inc. ("CPHC"),  which
was dissolved in 1998, to the Operating  Partnership,  in exchange for 8,480,000
units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units"),
(iv)  the  Operating   Partnership  repaid   approximately   $150.2  million  of
indebtedness and prepayment penalties associated therewith secured by certain of
the Properties,  and (v) the Operating  Partnership  established a $35.0 million
line of credit with  SouthTrust  Bank,  which has since been increased to $250.0
million,  to fund  development  activities  and  property  acquisitions  and for
general corporate  purposes  (collectively,  the "Formation  Transactions").  On
October 28, 1993, the underwriters of the IPO exercised an over-allotment option
to purchase an additional 686,200 shares.


Recent Developments

           Since  the  Company's  IPO,  CRLP  has  significantly   expanded  its
portfolio of Properties and its operating  businesses.  Acquisitions  by CRLP of
new properties represent a total investment of over $1.3 billion.  CRLP has also
completed the expansion of eleven multifamily properties since the IPO, adding a
total of 2,348 units to its multifamily portfolio.  CRLP currently has 12 active
expansion and development projects in progress for Multifamily  Properties,  one
Retail Property  development,  and two Office  Property  developments . CRLP has
also disposed of six Multifamily Properties  representing 2,464 apartment units,
one Office Property representing 25,000 square feet of office space, and entered
into two joint ventures.

           The following is a summary of CRLP's acquisition,  disposition, joint
venture, and development activity in 1998.

Acquisition and Disposition Activity

           CRLP acquired four Multifamily Properties,  including one in Florida,
one in Georgia,  one in Texas and one in South Carolina  containing  1,026 units
for a total purchase price of $48.2 million.

           CRLP  added  2.9  million  square  feet  of  retail   shopping  space
(including  1.5  million  square  feet  in  two  joint  ventures)   through  the
acquisition of a community  shopping center, an enclosed mall, and investment in
two joint ventures, at a net cost of $117.5 million.

           CRLP  also  acquired  five  Office  Properties,  including  three  in
Alabama,  one in Florida and one in Georgia,  containing  827,000 square feet of
office space for a total purchase price of $87.9 million.

Joint Ventures

           During  the  fourth  quarter  of 1998,  CRLP  entered  into two joint
ventures. On December 9, 1998, CRLP and CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. formed
a joint venture to acquire  Parkway City Mall in  Huntsville,  Alabama for $11.4
million.  In addition to the purchase of the  property,  the joint  venture will
redevelop the mall,  with all related costs being shared equally by both venture
partners. At December 31, 1998, CRLP had invested  approximately $5.7 million in
the joint venture and had an ending net investment balance of $5.9 million.

           On December  29,  1998,  CRLP and  Prudential  Real Estate  Investors
("Prudential"), through its Property Investment Separate Account ("PRISA") fund,
entered into a joint venture to own Orlando Fashion  Square.  In connection with
the  formation  of the joint  venture,  Prudential  acquired a 50%  interest  in
Orlando Fashion Square from CRLP for $52 million.  Subsequent to formation,  the
joint venture  leveraged the property with a $65 million  non-recourse  note and
the proceeds from the issuance of the note were distributed equally to the joint
venture  partners.  CRLP's  investment in the joint venture at December 31, 1998
was $20.2 million.  CRLP used the proceeds from the Prudential  joint venture to
fund acquisition and development activities.

Development Activity

           During  1998  CRLP  constructed  596 new  apartment  units  in  seven
multifamily  communities  and  acquired  land on which  it  intends  to  develop
additional  multifamily  communities  during 1999.  The  aggregate  cost of this
multifamily  development  activity was $90.4  million.  As of December 31, 1998,
CRLP had 2,426 apartment units in 12 multifamily  communities  under development
or expansion.  Management  anticipates that the 12 multifamily  projects will be
completed during 1999 through 2001.  Management  expects to invest an additional
$115 million over this period to complete these multifamily projects.

           During 1998 CRLP began development of a community  shopping center in
Birmingham,  Alabama.  The aggregate investment in the retail development during
1998 was $8.8 million.  Management anticipates that it will invest an additional
$25.7 million to complete the retail development.

           During  1998 CRLP began  development  of two office  properties.  The
aggregate  investment in the office  developments  during 1998 was $5.3 million.
Management estimates that it will invest an additional $24.3 million to complete
these projects.

development activity during 1998:

Business Strategy

           The general business  strategy of the Company and CRLP is to generate
stable and increasing  cash flow and portfolio value for its  shareholders.  The
Company  and  CRLP  (and  its   predecessor)   have  implemented  this  strategy
principally  by (i)  realizing  growth in income from its existing  portfolio of
properties,  (ii) developing,  expanding,  and selectively  acquiring additional
multifamily,  retail,  and office  properties in growth  markets  located in the
Sunbelt  region of the United  States,  where CRLP has  first-hand  knowledge of
growth  patterns  and  local  economic   conditions,   (iii)  managing  its  own
properties,  which has  enabled  it to better  control  operating  expenses  and
establish  long-term  relationships  with its retail and  office  tenants,  (iv)
maintaining the Company's  third-party property management  business,  which has
increased cash flow and established  additional  relationships with tenants, and
(v) employing a comprehensive capital maintenance program to maintain properties
in first-class  condition.  CRLP's business  strategy and the  implementation of
that strategy are determined by CRLP's  partners and may be changed from time to
time.

Financing Strategy

           CRLP's  strategy is to maintain  coverage  ratios in order to sustain
its investment grade status.  CRLP's total market  capitalization as of December
31, 1998, was $2.0 billion, and its ratio of debt to total market capitalization
was 45.1%. At December 31, 1998,  CRLP's total debt included  fixed-rate debt of
$681.2  million,  or 74.9% of  total  debt,  and  floating-rate  debt of  $228.1
million,  or 25.1% of total debt. CRLP has obtained interest rate protection for
$50.0 million of the floating-rate debt.

           CRLP may from time to time reevaluate its borrowing policies in light
of then current economic conditions,  relative costs of debt and equity capital,
market values of properties,  growth and  acquisition  opportunities,  and other
factors.  CRLP may modify its borrowing  policy and may increase or decrease its
ratio of debt to total  market  capitalization.  To the extent that the board of
trustees of CRLP  determines  to seek  additional  capital,  CRLP may raise such
capital through additional equity offerings by the Company, debt financings,  or
retention  of cash  flow  (subject  to  provisions  in the  Code  requiring  the
distribution by a REIT of a certain percentage of taxable income and taking into
account  taxes  that  would be imposed  on  undistributed  taxable  income) or a
combination of these methods.


Property Management

           CRLP is experienced  in the  management  and leasing of  multifamily,
retail,  and office  properties  and believes that the management and leasing of
its own portfolio has helped the Properties  maintain  consistent  income growth
and has resulted in reduced  operating  expenses from the Properties.  This also
allows CRLP to establish  additional  relationships with tenants who may require
additional retail or office space and to identify potential acquisitions.


Operational Structure

           Multifamily Division--The multifamily division of CRLP is responsible
for  all  aspects  of  CRLP's  multifamily   operations,   including  day-to-day
management  and  leasing  of the  49  Multifamily  Properties,  as  well  as the
provision of third-party  management services for apartment communities in which
CRLP does not have an ownership  interest.  The  multifamily  division  utilizes
centralized functions of accounting,  information technology,  due diligence and
administrative   services.   Decisions  for  investments  in  acquisitions   and
developments and for dispositions are also centralized. The multifamily division
has regional offices in Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery,  Alabama, Orlando and
Tampa, Florida, and Stockbridge, Georgia.

           Retail  Division--CRLP's  retail  division  is  responsible  for  all
aspects of CRLP's retail  operations,  including the provision of management and
leasing  services  for the 40 Retail  Properties,  as well as the  provision  of
third-party  management  services for retail  properties  in which CRLP does not
have an ownership  interest and for brokerage  services in other retail property
transactions.  The retail division utilizes centralized functions of accounting,
information technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for
investments in  acquisitions  and  developments  and for  dispositions  are also
centralized.  The retail division has regional  offices in Birmingham,  Alabama,
Orlando, Florida, Macon, Georgia and Burlington, North Carolina.

           Office  Division--CRLP's  office  division  is  responsible  for  all
aspects of CRLP's  commercial  office  operations,  including  the  provision of
management  and leasing  services for the 17 Office  Properties,  as well as the
provision of third-party management services for office properties in which CRLP
does not have an ownership  interest and for brokerage  services in other office
property  transactions.  The office division utilizes  centralized  functions of
accounting,  information technology,  due diligence and administrative services.
Decisions for investments in acquisitions  and developments and for dispositions
are also  centralized.  The office division has regional  offices in Birmingham,
Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia.


Employees

           CRLP employs  approximately  900 persons,  including on-site property
employees who provide services for the Properties that CRLP owns and/or manages.

Tax Status

           CRLP has no provision  for income  taxes since all taxable  income or
loss or tax credits are passed through to the partners.  The Company has made an
election to be taxed as a REIT under  Sections  856 through 860 of the  Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  commencing with its taxable year
ending  December 31, 1993. If the Company  qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the
Company  generally  will not be subject  to Federal  income tax to the extent it
distributes at least 95% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. Even if
the Company  qualifies  for  taxation  as a REIT,  the Company may be subject to
certain  state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal  income
and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Risk Factors

           Set  forth  below are the  risks  that we  believe  are  material  to
investors  who purchase or own our units of limited  partnership  interest.  Our
units are redeemable for cash or, at the election of Colonial  Properties Trust,
on a  one-for-one  basis for Colonial  Properties  Trust's  shares of beneficial
interest.

           Our  performance  and property value are subject to risks  associated
with the real estate industry.  If our assets do not generate income  sufficient
to pay our expenses, service our debt and maintain our properties, we may not be
able to make expected  distributions to our unitholders.  Whether our properties
will  generate  sufficient  revenue  to pay our  expenses  and permit us to make
distributions  to our unitholders  will depend on whether we can attract tenants
at  favorable  rental  rates and  whether we can  adequately  control our costs.
Factors that may adversely  affect our ability to attract tenants or to generate
sufficient revenue include:

o          local  conditions  such as an  oversupply  of  multifamily,  retail
           or office  properties or a reduction in demand for
           multifamily, retail or office properties;
o          the attractiveness of our properties to residents, shoppers and
           tenants; decreases in market rental rates; and
o          our ability to collect rent from our tenants.

           Factors that may adversely affect our operating costs include:

o          the need to pay for adequate  insurance and other operating costs, 
           including real estate taxes,  which could increase over time; and
o          the need to periodically repair, renovate and relet space.

           Our  expenses may remain  constant  even if our  revenues  drop.  The
expenses of owning and  operating a property  are not  necessarily  reduced when
circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income
from the property.  As a result,  if revenues drop, we may not be able to reduce
our expenses  accordingly.  Loan payments are an example of a cost that will not
be reduced  simply  because our revenues drop. If a property is mortgaged and we
are unable to meet the  mortgage  payments,  the lender  could  foreclose on the
mortgage and take the property, resulting in a further reduction in revenues.

           We may be unable to renew  leases  or relet  space as leases  expire.
When our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration,  we may
not be able to relet the space. Even if the tenants do renew or we can relet the
space,  the  terms of  renewal  or  reletting,  including  the cost of  required
renovations, may be less favorable than current lease terms. If we are unable to
promptly  renew the leases or relet the space,  or if the rental rates upon such
renewal or reletting are significantly  lower than expected rates, then our cash
flow and ability to service debt and make distributions to shareholders would be
adversely affected.

           New  acquisitions  may fail to perform as  expected.  Assuming we are
able  to  obtain  capital  on  commercially   reasonable  terms,  we  intend  to
selectively acquire  multifamily,  retail or office properties where we perceive
strategic opportunities  consistent with our strategy. Newly acquired properties
may fail to perform as expected.  We may  underestimate  the costs  necessary to
bring an  acquired  property up to the  standards  we have  established  for its
intended market position.  In addition,  we may not be in a position or have the
opportunity in the future to make suitable  property  acquisitions  on favorable
terms.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources."

           Competition  for  acquisitions  could result in increased  prices for
properties. We expect other major real estate investors with significant capital
to compete with us for attractive  investment  opportunities.  These competitors
include  publicly  traded REITs,  private  REITs,  investment  banking firms and
private  institutional  investment funds. This competition could increase prices
for multifamily, retail or office properties.

           Our  development  and expansion  activities  subject us to risks.  We
intend to continue  to develop new  properties  and expand  existing  properties
where we believe that  development or expansion is consistent  with our business
strategies. New projects subject us to a number of risks, including risks that:

o          construction delays or cost overruns may increase project costs;
o          permanent debt or equity  financing may not be available on 
           acceptable  terms to finance new  development or expansion projects;
o          we may fail to meet  anticipated  occupancy or rent  levels;  
o          we may fail to secure  required   zoning,   occupancy  and  other 
           governmental   permits  and authorizations; and 
o          changes in applicable zoning and land use laws may require us to 
           abandon projects prior to their completion, resulting in the loss of
           development costs incurred prior to abandonment.

           Because real estate  investments are illiquid,  we may not be able to
sell properties when appropriate.  Real estate  investments  generally cannot be
sold quickly.  We may not be able to vary our portfolio  promptly in response to
economic  or other  conditions.  This  inability  to  respond  to changes in the
performance of our  investments  could  adversely  affect our ability to service
debt and make distributions to our unitholders.

           Scheduled  debt  payments  could   adversely   affect  our  financial
condition.  Our  business  is subject  to risks  normally  associated  with debt
financing. If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced,  extended
or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital,
our cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt. If
prevailing  interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing,  such as
the possible  reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans, result
in higher interest rates, increased interest expense would adversely affect cash
flow and our ability to service our debt and make distributions to unitholders.

           Our  obligation  to  comply  with  financial  covenants  in our  debt
agreements could restrict our range of operating activities. Our credit facility
contains  customary  restrictions,  requirements  and other  limitations  on our
ability to incur indebtedness, including:

o          debt to assets ratios;
o          secured debt to total assets ratios;
o          debt service coverage ratios; and
o          minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt.

           The indenture under which our senior unsecured indebtedness is issued
contains  financial and  operating  covenants  including  coverage  ratios.  Our
indenture   also  limits  our  ability  to  (1)  incur   secured  and  unsecured
indebtedness,  (2) sell all or substantially all or our assets and (3) engage in
mergers, consolidations and acquisitions.

           Our degree of leverage  could limit our ability to obtain  additional
financing.  Our "debt to market  capitalization"  ratio,  which we  calculate as
total  debt  as a  percentage  of  total  debt  plus  the  market  value  of our
outstanding units and the outstanding shares of beneficial  interest of Colonial
Properties Trust, was approximately 45.1% as of December 31, 1998.  Increases in
our leverage could adversely affect our ability to obtain  additional  financing
in  the  future  for  (1)  working  capital,  (2)  capital   expenditures,   (3)
acquisitions,  (4) development or (4) other general corporate purposes,  and may
make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.

           Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow.  Advances
under our credit  facility bear  interest at a variable rate ranging  between 80
and 135 basis points above LIBOR. We may borrow  additional  money with variable
interest rates in the future, and may enter into other transactions to limit our
exposure to rising interest rates as appropriate  and cost effective.  Increases
in interest  rates,  or the loss of the  benefits of hedging  agreements,  would
increase our interest  expense,  which would adversely  affect cash flow and our
ability to service our debt and make distributions to unitholders.

           Environmental problems are possible and can be costly. Federal, state
and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may
require a current or previous  owner or operator of real property to investigate
and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum  product releases at the
property,  without  regard to whether the owner or  operator  knew or caused the
presence of the contaminants.  If unidentified  environmental  problems arise at
one  of  our  properties,  we  may  have  to  make  substantial  payments  to  a
governmental  entity or third parties for property damage and for  investigation
and clean-up costs.  Even if more that one person may have been  responsible for
the  contamination,  we may be held  responsible  for all of the clean-up  costs
incurred. Our liability under environmental laws could adversely affect our cash
flow and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders.

           At one of our properties,  the Gadsden Mall in Gadsden, Alabama, four
underground  storage tanks were removed in 1989. In connection  with the removal
of  these  gasoline  storage  tanks,   associated  petroleum  contamination  was
discovered in the soil and groundwater.  We are currently working with the state
regulatory  agency to remediate the  contamination in accordance with applicable
requirements.  Because the tanks were registered with the Alabama  Department of
Environmental  Management  and the facility was in compliance  with  regulations
prior to the incident,  we have been  reimbursed  under the Alabama  Underground
Storage Tank Trust Fund for the costs  incurred to date in  connection  with the
ongoing cleanup, and expect to be reimbursed for the remaining costs as well. We
have  received a "no  further  action"  letter from the  Alabama  Department  of
Environmental Management.

           On December  29, 1998,  we acquired Bel Air Mall in Mobile,  Alabama.
During the course of our  environmental  due  diligence,  we identified  several
different areas of the property in which contamination is present.  One of those
areas involves drycleaner solvent;  the others involve petroleum  contamination.
The  Alabama   Department  of   Environmental   Management  is  overseeing   the
investigation and cleanup of the drycleaner contamination. It is possible that a
claim  could  be  asserted  against  us,  as  owner  of the  property,  for  the
investigation and remediation of the contamination. Pursuant to the purchase and
sale  agreement,  the  former  owner of the  property  purchased  a $10  million
insurance policy and established  escrow accounts  totaling  $1,275,000 to cover
the costs associated with investigating and remediating the contaminated  areas.
In addition, subject to limitations,  the seller will be performing all required
remediation of the drycleaner contamination.

           Some of our general partner's trustees and officers have conflicts of
interest and could exercise influence in a manner inconsistent with unitholders'
best  interests.  As  a  result  of  their  substantial  ownership  of  Colonial
Properties Trust's common shares and our units, Messrs. Thomas Lowder,  Colonial
Properties Trust's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President,
and James Lowder,  Harold Ripps,  Herbert Meisler and William  Johnson,  each of
whom is a trustee of Colonial  Properties  Trust,  might seek to exert influence
over our decisions as to sales or refinancings of particular  properties we own.
Any such exercise of influence might produce decisions which are not in the best
interest of all of our unitholders.

           The Lowder family, which includes Thomas, James, Robert and Catherine
Lowder and their  affiliates,  holds  interests in companies that have performed
construction management,  insurance brokerage and other services with respect to
our  properties.  These  companies  may perform  similar  services for us in the
future.  As a result,  the Lowder family may realize benefits from  transactions
between such  companies  and us that are not realized by other  unitholders.  In
addition,  Thomas Lowder and his brother,  James Lowder, as trustees of Colonial
Properties  Trust,  may be in a position to  influence  us to do  business  with
companies in which the Lowder family has a financial interest.  Our policies may
not  be  successful  in  eliminating  the  influence  of  conflicts.   Moreover,
transactions with companies  controlled by the Lowder family, if any, may not be
on terms as  favorable to us as we could  obtain in an  arms-length  transaction
with a third party.

           We do not control our management,  leasing and brokerage  businesses.
To facilitate maintenance of Colonial Properties Trust's REIT qualification,  we
have a  "non-controlled  subsidiary"  which  conducts  management,  leasing  and
brokerage  business for properties we do not wholly own. While we own 99% of the
economic  interest in the noncontrolled  subsidiary,  99% of its voting stock is
owned by members of the Lowder family. We therefore do not control the timing or
amount of  distributions  or the management  and operation of the  noncontrolled
subsidiary. We also lack the ability to set the business policies and operations
of the noncontrolled subsidiary.

           We are  subject to risks  associated  with the  property  management,
leasing and brokerage  businesses.  In addition to the risks we face as a result
of our  ownership  of  real  estate,  we face  risks  relating  to the  property
management, leasing and brokerage businesses of our "non-controlled subsidiary,"
including risks that:

o     management contracts or service agreements with third-party owners will be
      lost to competitors; 
o     contracts will not be renewed upon expiration or will not
      be renewed on terms  consistent with current terms;  and
o     leasing and brokerage activity generally may decline.

           Each of these developments could adversely affect our ability to make
debt service payments or expected distributions to unitholders.

           We are  dependent  on external  sources of  capital.  To qualify as a
REIT, Colonial Properties Trust must distribute to its shareholders each year at
least  95% of its net  taxable  income,  excluding  any net  capital  gain.  Our
partnership  agreement generally requires us to distribute  substantially all of
our net cash revenues each quarter and to make reasonable  efforts to distribute
to Colonial  Properties  Trust  enough cash for it to meet the 95%  distribution
requirement.  Because of these distribution requirements,  it is not likely that
we will be able to fund all future capital needs from income from operations. We
therefore will have to rely on  third-party  sources of capital which may or may
not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources
of capital depends on a number of things,  including the market's  perception of
our growth potential and our current and potential  future  earnings.  Moreover,
additional equity offerings may result in substantial  dilution,  and additional
debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.

           We intend to qualify as a partnership,  but cannot  guarantee that we
will  qualify.  We intend to qualify as a  partnership  for  federal  income tax
purposes.  However,  we will be treated as a corporation  for federal income tax
purposes if we are a "publicly traded  partnership,"  unless at least 90% of our
income it qualifying income as defined in the tax code. The income  requirements
applicable to REITs and the definition of qualifying income for purposes of this
90% test are similar in most, but not all,  respects.  Qualifying income for the
90% test generally  includes  passive  income,  such as specified  types of real
property rents,  dividends and interest.  We cannot  guarantee that we will meet
this qualifying  income test. If we were to be taxed as a corporation,  we would
incur  substantial  tax  liabilities,  Colonial  Properties  Trust would fail to
qualify as a REIT for tax  purposes  and  Colonial  Properties  Trust's  and our
ability to raise additional capital could be impaired.

           Colonial Properties Trust intends to qualify as a REIT, but we cannot
guarantee that it will qualify.  We believe that Colonial  Properties  Trust has
qualified for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with
its taxable year ended December 31, 1993. If Colonial Properties Trust qualifies
as a REIT, it generally  will not be subject to federal income tax on its income
that it  distributes to its  shareholders.  Colonial  Properties  Trust plans to
continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT, but it may not qualify
as a REIT. Many of the REIT  requirements are highly technical and complex.  The
determination  that Colonial  Properties Trust is a REIT requires an analysis of
various  factual  matters and  circumstances  that may not be totally within its
control.  For  example,  to qualify as a REIT,  at least 95% of our gross income
must come from certain sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws.  Colonial
Properties  Trust also is required to distribute to shareholders at least 95% of
its REIT  taxable  income,  excluding  capital  gains.  The fact  that  Colonial
Properties  Trust holds its assets through  Colonial Realty further  complicates
the  application  of the REIT  requirements.  Even a  technical  or  inadvertent
mistake could jeopardize Colonial  Properties Trust's REIT status.  Furthermore,
Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the
courts might issue new rulings that make it more difficult,  or impossible,  for
Colonial  Properties  Trust to remain  qualified  as a REIT.  We do not believe,
however,  that any pending or proposed tax law changes would jeopardize its REIT
status.

           If Colonial  Properties  Trust failed to qualify as a REIT,  Colonial
Properties  Trust  would be subject to federal  income tax at regular  corporate
rates.   Also,  unless  the  IRS  granted  us  relief  under  certain  statutory
provisions,  Colonial  Properties Trust would remain  disqualified as a REIT for
the four years  following  the year  Colonial  Properties  Trust first failed to
qualify. If Colonial Properties Trust failed to qualify as a REIT, it would have
to pay  significant  income taxes and would  therefore have less money available
for investments or for  distributions to shareholders.  This would likely have a
significant adverse affect on the value of our securities. In addition, Colonial
Properties  Trust  would no  longer be  required  to make any  distributions  to
shareholders,   but  we  would  still  be  required  to   distribute   quarterly
substantially all of our net cash revenues to our unitholders.

           Proposed legislation, if enacted, could require us to restructure our
ownership of Colonial  Properties  Services,  Inc. The Clinton  Administration's
fiscal year 2000 budget  proposal could require us to restructure  our ownership
of Colonial Properties Services, Inc. The budget proposal, announced February 1,
1999,  includes a proposal that would  prohibit a REIT from owning more than 10%
of the vote or value of the outstanding  securities of any  corporation,  except
for a qualified REIT  subsidiary or another REIT.  Currently,  a REIT cannot own
more  than 10% of the  outstanding  securities  of any one  issuer.  A REIT can,
however,  own more than 10% of the value of the stock of a corporation,  so long
as not  more  than  25% of the  REIT's  total  assets  are  comprised  stock  of
corporations,  except for qualified REIT  subsidiaries or other REIT's,  and the
stock of any single  corporation  does not account for more than 5% of the value
of the REIT's total  assets.  The proposal  also contains an exception to the 5%
and 10% asset tests that would allow a REIT to have "taxable REIT subsidiaries,"
including both  "qualified  independent  contractor  subsidiaries,"  which could
perform  noncustomary  and other currently  prohibited  services for tenants and
other customers,  and "qualified business  subsidiaries,"  which could undertake
third-party  management and development  activities as well as other non-related
real estate activities.  Under the proposal,  no more than 15% of a REIT's total
assets  could  consist of  taxable  REIT  subsidiaries  and no more than 5% of a
REIT's  total  assets  could   consist  of  qualified   independent   contractor
subsidiaries.  Under the budget proposal, a taxable REIT subsidiary would not be
entitled to deduct any  interest on debt funded  directly or  indirectly  by the
REIT.  This proposal  would be effective  after the date of enactment and a REIT
would be allowed to combine and convert  existing  corporate  subsidiaries  into
taxable REIT subsidiaries  tax-free prior to a certain date. A transition period
would allow for  conversion of existing  corporate  subsidiaries  before the 10%
vote or value test would  become  effective.  For  Colonial  Properties  Trust's
taxable years after the effective  date of the proposal and after any applicable
transition period, the 10% vote or value test would apply to Colonial Properties
Trust's  ownership  in  Colonial  Properties  Services,   Inc.  unless  Colonial
Properties  Services,  Inc. is converted into a taxable REIT  subsidiary.  It is
presently uncertain whether any proposal regarding REIT subsidiaries,  including
the budget proposal,  will be enacted or, if enacted, what the terms,  including
the effective date, of such proposal will be.

           Our operations could be adversely  affected by the year 2000 problem.
Our  revenues  may  be  adversely  affected  if  the  year  2000  problem  poses
significant  problems for any of our tenants  which  prevent them from paying us
rent as it comes  due.  The year 2000  problem  could also  adversely  affect us
should any of our lenders, manufacturers,  vendors or suppliers cease to conduct
business,  as we would be forced to contract with  alternate  providers at rates
which  might  not be  favorable  to us.  Moreover,  our  plans do not  address a
"doomsday" scenario which would require a contingency process for restoration of
our existing  systems and  components in the event of a complete  failure due to
the year 2000 problem.

Undeveloped Land

           CRLP owns five undeveloped  land parcels  consisting of approximately
144.7 acres (collectively,  the "Land").  These parcels are adjacent to three of
the Properties and are suitable for potential expansion at those Properties. The
Land  suitable for expansion is located  adjacent to a Multifamily  Property and
two Retail Properties. Land adjacent to Multifamily Properties typically will be
considered for potential development of another phase of an existing Multifamily
Property if CRLP  determines  that the particular  market can absorb  additional
apartment units.  CRLP currently owns one such parcel.  For expansions at Retail
Properties,  CRLP owns  parcels  both  contiguous  to the  boundaries  of Retail
Properties,  which would  accommodate  expansion of the mall or shopping center,
and outparcels  which are suitable for  restaurants,  financial  institutions or
free standing retailers. CRLP owns three such parcels.

            CRLP  believes  that  the   demographic   and  economic  trends  and
conditions in the markets where the Properties are located  indicate a potential
for  continued  growth in property net  operating  income.  The  Properties  are
located in a variety of distinct  submarkets within Alabama,  Florida,  Georgia,
Mississippi,  North  Carolina,  South Carolina,  Tennessee,  Texas and Virginia;
however,  Birmingham,  Huntsville and Montgomery,  Alabama,  Orlando,  Tampa and
Sarasota/Bradenton,  Florida, and Macon and Atlanta, Georgia, are CRLP's primary
markets.  CRLP  believes  that its  markets  in these  nine  states,  which  are
characterized by stable and increasing  population and employment growth, should
continue  to  provide  a steady  demand  for  multifamily,  retail,  and  office
properties.

(1)   As noted in the table,  certain  Properties  were  developed in phases and
      separate mortgage indebtedness may encumber each of the various phases. In
      the listing of property  names,  CG has been used as an  abbreviation  for
      Colonial Grand and CV as an abbreviation for Colonial Village.
(2)   All of the  mortgages  can be prepaid at any time,  subject to  prepayment
      penalties  calculated  typically  on a  percentage  basis,  except for the
      mortgages  encumbering CV at Rocky Ridge, CV at Inverness Lakes, and CV at
      Hillwood, which are closed to prepayment for varying lengths of time.
(3)   The maturity date noted  represents  the date on which credit  enhancement
      expires  for the  tax-exempt  municipal  bonds put in place as part of the
      original  financing  for the  Property.  The stated  maturity date for the
      loans is August 1, 2007.
(4)   These  loans are  financed  through  tax-exempt  bonds  which  are  credit
      enhanced  by Fannie  Mae.  The  loans,  which  bear  interest  at a weekly
      variable  interest rate,  require monthly  interest  payments through June
      2006 and principal and interest payments from July 2006 through June 2026.
      The weighted  average  interest  rate of these three was 4.51% at December
      31, 1998.  On February 15, 1999,  CRLP entered into an interest  rate swap
      for these bonds at a rate of 3.23%
(5)   The maturity date noted  represents  the date on which credit  enhancement
      expires  for the  tax-exempt  municipal  bonds put in place as part of the
      original  financing  for the  Property.  The stated  maturity date for the
      loans is August 1, 2022.
(6)   The maturity date noted  represents  the date on which credit  enhancement
      expires  for the  tax-exempt  municipal  bonds put in place as part of the
      original  financing  for the  Property.  The stated  maturity date for the
      loans is August 1, 2010.
(7)   This line of credit  facility bears interest at a variable rate,  based on
      LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 80 to 135 basis  points.  At December
      31,  1998,  line of credit  facility  bore  interest at a rate of 95 basis
      points above LIBOR.  The facility also includes a competitive  bid feature
      that allows CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to
      a fixed  rate,  for a fixed term not to exceed 90 days.  At  December  31,
      1998, $65 million was outstanding  under a competitive bid loan which bore
      interest at a weighted average rate of 6.29%.
(8)   This credit  facility  has a term of two years  beginning in July 1998 and
      provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.

           In addition to the foregoing mortgage debt, the two Office Properties
and one  Retail  Property  in which  CRLP  owns  partial  interests  (and  which
therefore are not  consolidated  in the  financial  statements of CRLP) also are
subject  to  existing  mortgage  indebtedness.  CRLP's  pro-rata  share  of such
indebtedness as of December 31, 1998, was  $33,512,000  which carried a weighted
average  interest rate of 6.9%. The maturity dates of these loans range from May
31,  1999 to January  15,  2006 and as of  December  31,  1998,  the loans had a
weighted average maturity of 6.6 years.

Item 3.              Legal Proceedings.

           Neither CRLP nor the Properties are presently subject to any material
litigation  nor, to CRLP's  knowledge,  is any  material  litigation  threatened
against CRLP or the  Properties,  other than routine  litigation  arising in the
ordinary  course of  business  which is  expected  to be  covered  by  liability
insurance.


Item 4.              Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

           No matters were  submitted  to CRLP's unit holders  during the fourth
quarter of 1998.

Item 5.              Market for Registrant's  Common Equity and Related 
                     Shareholder Matters.

          There is no established  public  trading  market for the Units.  As of
March 10, 1999, there were 76 holders of record of Units.

           CRLP has made consecutive quarterly distributions since its formation
in the third quarter of 1993. CRLP's ability to make distributions  depends on a
number of factors,  including  its net cash  provided by  operating  activities,
capital commitments and debt repayment schedules.  Holders of Units are entitled
to receive  distributions  when,  as and if declared by the Board of Trustees of
the Company,  its general partner,  out of any funds legally  available for that
purpose.

           The  following  table sets forth the  distributions  per Unit paid by
CRLP during the periods noted:

Item 7.              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                     and Results of Operations.

GENERAL

Colonial  Realty  Limited  Partnership,  a Delaware  limited  partnership is the
operating  partnership  of Colonial  Properties  Trust,  an Alabama  real estate
investment  trust (the "Company")  whose shares are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. The Company is engaged in the ownership, development,  management, and
leasing of  multifamily  communities,  retail  malls and shopping  centers,  and
office buildings. The Company owns and operates properties in nine states in the
Sunbelt region of the United States. As of December 31, 1998, CRLP's real estate
portfolio consisted of 49 multifamily communities,  40 retail properties, and 17
office properties.

CRLP manages its business with three separate and distinct operating  divisions:
Multifamily,  Retail, and Office.  Each division has an Executive Vice President
that oversees  growth and operations and has a separate  management team that is
responsible  for  acquiring,  developing,  and  leasing  properties  within each
division. This structure allows CRLP to utilize specialized management personnel
for each operating  division.  Constant  communication  among the Executive Vice
Presidents and centralized functions of accounting,  information technology, due
diligence and administrative  services provide CRLP with unique synergy allowing
CRLP to take advantage of a variety of investment  opportunities.  Decisions for
investments in  acquisitions  and  developments  and for  dispositions  are also
centralized.

The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing
elsewhere in this report.

Any statement  contained in this report which is not a historical fact, or which
might be otherwise  considered an opinion or projection  concerning  CRLP or its
business,  whether express or implied, is meant as, and should be considered,  a
forward-looking  statement  as that term is  defined in the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act of  1996.  Forward-looking  statements  are  based  upon
assumptions  and  opinions  concerning  a variety  of known and  unknown  risks,
including but not limited to changes in market conditions, the supply and demand
for leasable real estate,  interest  rates,  increased  competition,  changes in
governmental regulations,  and national and local economic conditions generally,
as well as other risks more  completely  described  in CRLP's  filings  with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  If any of these  assumptions  or opinions
prove  incorrect,  any  forward-looking  statements  made on the  basis  of such
assumptions  or  opinions  may also prove  materially  incorrect  in one or more
respects.

Results of Operations - 1998 vs. 1997

In 1998, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net income
which  primarily  resulted from the acquisition and development of 40 properties
and the  expansion  of 13  properties  during 1998 and 1997.  As a result of the
acquisitions, developments, and expansions CRLP's net income before dividends to
preferred  unitholders  increased  by $22.0  million,  or  47.7%,  for 1998 when
compared  to 1997.  On a per unit basis,  net income was $1.64 for 1998,  a 5.2%
increase, compared to $1.55 for 1997.

Revenues - Total revenues increased by $73.2 million, or 39.8%, during 1998 when
compared to 1997. Of this increase,  $61.7 million relates to revenues generated
by  properties  that were  acquired or  developed  during 1998 and 1997,  net of
revenues of properties  disposed of in 1997. The retail  division  accounted for
the majority of the overall revenue increase, approximately $46.4 million, while
the  office and  multifamily  divisions  accounted  for $18.2  million  and $9.0
million,  respectively. The divisional revenue growth was primarily attributable
to the  acquisition,  development,  and  expansion of 21 retail  properties,  22
multifamily  properties,  and 10 office  properties  during  1998 and 1997.  The
remaining  increase relates to increases in rental rates at existing  properties
and lease buyouts during 1998.

Operating  Expenses - Total operating  expenses  increased by $39.8 million,  or
41.1%,  during 1998 when compared to 1997. The majority of this increase relates
to  additional  property  operating  expenses of $20.3  million  and  additional
depreciation  of $13.4 million  associated  with  properties that were acquired,
developed,  or  expanded  during  1998 and 1997,  net of  operating  expenses of
properties disposed of during 1997.  Depreciation expense on existing properties
increased by $1.5 million during 1998 when compared to 1997. Divisional property
operating  expenses increased by $14.8 million,  $2.8 million,  and $5.5 million
for retail, multifamily,  and office divisions,  respectively,  during 1998 when
compared to 1997.  The increase in divisional  property  operating  expenses was
primarily  attributable  to the  acquisition,  development,  and expansion of 21
retail properties,  22 multifamily  properties,  and 10 office properties during
1998 and  1997.  The  remaining  increase  primarily  relates  to  increases  in
operating  expenses at existing  properties,  and overall increases in corporate
overhead and personnel costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses - Interest  expense  increased  by $14.7  million,  or
39.3%,  during 1998 when compared to 1997.  The increase in interest  expense is
primarily  attributable  to the assumption of $5.7 million of debt, the issuance
of $175 million in Senior Unsecured Notes, and the net increased usage of CRLP's
Line  of  Credit  in  conjunction   with  the  financing  of  acquisitions   and
developments.

Results of Operations - 1997 vs. 1996

In 1997, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net income
which  resulted from the  acquisition  and  development of 38 properties and the
expansion of 7 properties  during 1997 and 1996. As a result of the acquisitions
and  developments,  CRLP's net income before dividends to preferred  unitholders
increased by $5.0  million,  or 18.0%,  for 1997 when compared to 1996. On a per
unit basis,  net income was $1.55 for 1997, a 1.9%  decrease,  compared to $1.58
for 1996. The decrease in net income available to common shareholders,  on a per
share  basis,  is directly  attributable  to the  extraordinary  loss from early
extinguishment  of debt and the dividends paid to the preferred  shareholders in
1997.

Revenues - Total revenues increased by $49.2 million, or 36.5%, during 1997 when
compared to 1996. Of this increase,  $43.4 million relates to revenues generated
by  properties  that were  acquired  or  developed  during  1997 and  1996.  The
remaining  increase  primarily  relates to increases in rental rates at existing
properties.  The retail  division  accounted  for the  majority  of the  overall
revenue increase,  approximately $25.4 million, while the multifamily and office
divisions  accounted  for $14.6  million  and $8.9  million,  respectively.  The
divisional  revenue  growth  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  acquisition,
development,  and expansion of 20 retail properties,  19 multifamily properties,
and 6 office properties during 1997 and 1996.

Operating  Expenses - Total operating  expenses  increased by $26.5 million,  or
37.7%,  during 1997 when compared to 1996. The majority of this increase relates
to  additional  property  operating  expenses of $13.3  million  and  additional
depreciation  of $8.2 million  associated  with properties that were acquired or
developed  during 1997 and 1996.  Depreciation  expense on  existing  properties
increased by $1.8 million during 1997 when compared to 1996. Divisional property
operating expenses increased by $7.4 million, $2.1 million, and $4.9 million for
retail,  multifamily,  and  office  divisions,  respectively,  during  1997 when
compared to 1996.  The increase in divisional  property  operating  expenses was
primarily  attributable  to the  acquisition,  development,  and expansion of 20
retail  properties,  19 multifamily  properties,  and 6 office properties during
1997 and 1996. The remaining change primarily relates to the resolution of prior
year reserves for certain tax contingencies,  increases in operating expenses at
existing  properties,  and overall increases in corporate overhead and personnel
costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses - Interest  expense  increased  by $15.9  million,  or
64.7%,  during 1997 when compared to 1996.  The increase in interest  expense is
primarily attributable to the assumption of $75 million of debt, the issuance of
$175 million in  Medium-Term  Notes,  and the increased  usage of CRLP's Line of
Credit in conjunction with the financing of acquisitions and developments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During  1998,  CRLP  invested  $358.1  million,  net  of  disposition,   in  the
acquisition  and  development of properties.  This  acquisition  and development
activity  increased CRLP's  multifamily,  retail,  and office property holdings.
CRLP financed the growth  through  proceeds from public  offerings of equity and
debt totaling $315 million during 1998, advances on its bank line of credit, the
issuance of limited partnership units in CRLP, the proceeds from joint ventures,
and cash from  operations.  CRLP also used these sources of funds to repay $29.5
million on five mortgage loans.

Acquisition and Development Activities

Multifamily  Properties - During 1998,  CRLP added 1,026 apartment units through
the  acquisition of four  multifamily  communities at an aggregate cost of $48.2
million.  CRLP  also  completed  development  of 596  apartment  units  in seven
multifamily  communities  during 1998 and  acquired  land on which it intends to
develop additional multifamily communities during 1999. The aggregate investment
in the multifamily developments during 1998 was $90.4 million.

As of  December  31,  1998,  CRLP has 2,426  apartment  units in 12  multifamily
communities under development or expansion.  Management  anticipates that the 12
multifamily  projects  will be completed  during 1999 through  2001.  Management
estimates  that it will invest an  additional  $115  million to  complete  these
multifamily communities.

Retail  Properties - During 1998,  CRLP added 2.9 million  square feet of retail
shopping space (including 1.5 million square feet in two joint ventures) through
the acquisition of a community  shopping center, an enclosed mall and investment
in two joint ventures at a net cost of $117.5 million.  In addition,  CRLP began
the  development  of a community  shopping  center in Birmingham,  Alabama.  The
aggregate  investment  in the retail  development  during 1998 was $8.8 million.
Management  anticipates  that it will  invest an  additional  $25.7  million  to
complete the retail development.

Office  Properties - During 1998, CRLP increased its office portfolio by 827,000
square feet with the acquisition of five office  properties at an aggregate cost
of $87.9 million. In addition,  CRLP began development on two office properties.
The  aggregate  investment  in the  office  developments  during  1998  was $5.3
million. Management estimates that it will invest an additional $24.3 million to
complete these properties.

Joint Ventures

During the fourth  quarter of 1998,  CRLP  entered into two joint  ventures.  On
December 9, 1998,  CRLP and CBL &  Associates  Properties,  Inc.  formed a joint
venture to acquire  Parkway City Mall in Huntsville,  Alabama for $11.4 million.
In addition to the purchase of the property,  the joint  venture will  redevelop
the mall, with all related costs being shared equally by both venture  partners.
At December 31, 1998, CRLP had invested  approximately $5.7 million in the joint
venture and had an ending net  investment  balance of $5.9 million.  On December
29,  1998,  CRLP and  Prudential  Real Estate  Investors,  through its  Property
Investment  Separate Account Fund (Prudential),  entered into a joint venture to
own Orlando  Fashion  Square.  In  connection  with the  formation  of the joint
venture,  Prudential acquired a 50% interest in Orlando Fashion Square from CRLP
for $52  million  which  approximated  both  book  value  and fair  value of the
recently acquired property. Subsequent to formation, the joint venture leveraged
the  property  with a $65 million  nonrecourse  note and the  proceeds  from the
issuance of the note were  distributed  equally to the joint  venture  partners.
CRLP's  investment in the joint venture at December 31, 1998 was $20.2  million.
CRLP used the proceeds from the Prudential joint venture to fund acquisition and
development  activities.  Both joint  ventures have been accounted for using the
equity method.

Financing Activities

CRLP funded a large portion of its  acquisitions  and  developments  through the
issuance of debt  securities  and through  cash  contributions  from the Company
through the  issuance  of its common and  preferred  shares.  During  1998,  the
Company and CRLP completed the following equity and debt transactions:

On July 10, 1998, CRLP increased the borrowing capacity under its unsecured line
of credit from $200 million to $250 million. The credit facility,  which is used
by CRLP primarily to finance additional property investments,  bears interest at
a rate  ranging  between 80 and 135 basis points above LIBOR and is renewable in
July 2000. The line of credit agreement  includes a competitive bid feature that
will  allow CRLP to  convert  up to $125  million  under the line of credit to a
fixed rate, for a fixed term not to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 1998, the
balance outstanding on CRLP's line of credit was $174.5 million.

At December 31, 1998,  CRLP's total outstanding debt balance was $909.3 million.
The outstanding  balance includes  fixed-rate debt of $681.2 million,  or 74.9%,
and floating-rate  debt of $228.1 million,  or 25.1%. CRLP has obtained interest
rate protection for $50.0 million of the  floating-rate  debt. The cap agreement
limits the debt to an interest rate of 8.00%  through May 2, 2000.  CRLP's total
market  capitalization as of December 31, 1998 was $2.0 billion and its ratio of
debt to total market  capitalization was 45.1%.  Certain loan agreements of CRLP
contain restrictive covenants which, among other things,  require maintenance of
various  financial  ratios.  At December 31, 1998,  CRLP was in compliance  with
these covenants.

CRLP has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading  purposes.  Interest rate cap  agreements  and interest
rate swaps are used to reduce the  potential  impact of  increases  in  interest
rates on variable-rate  debt.  Treasury lock agreements are used by CRLP to lock
in interest  rates in connection  with public debt  offerings.  CRLP has entered
into an  interest  rate cap  agreement  which  limits  debt of $50 million to an
interest rate of 8.00% through May 2, 2000. Subsequent to year-end, CRLP entered
into two interest rate swap agreements. On January 4, 1999, CRLP entered into an
interest rate swap for $50 million of its line of credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135
basis  points and on January 15, 1999,  CRLP entered into an interest  rate swap
for $52 million of tax exempt bonds at a rate of 3.23%.  Both of these  interest
rate swap agreements have one-year terms and any payments made or received under
the agreements  are  recognized as adjustments to interest  expense as incurred.
CRLP  is  exposed  to  credit  losses  in the  event  of  nonperformance  by the
counterparties to its interest rate cap and  nonderivative  financial assets but
has no  off-balance-sheet  credit risk of  accounting  loss.  CRLP  anticipates,
however,  that  counterparties  will be able to fully satisfy their  obligations
under the  contracts.  CRLP does not  obtain  collateral  or other  security  to
support  financial  instruments  subject to credit risk but  monitors the credit
standing of counterparties.

OUTLOOK

Management    intends   to   maintain   CRLP's   strength   through    continued
diversification,  while pursuing  acquisitions  and  developments  that meet the
Company's criteria for property quality, market strength, and investment return.
Management  will  continue  to use its  line of  credit  to  provide  short-term
financing for acquisition  and  development  activities and plans to continue to
replace  significant  borrowings  under  the  bank  line of  credit  with  funds
generated from the sale of additional equity securities and permanent financing,
as market conditions permit. Management believes that these potential sources of
funds,  along with the possibility of issuing limited  partnership units of CRLP
in  exchange  for  properties,  will  provide  CRLP  with the  means to  finance
additional acquisitions and development.

In addition  to the  issuance of equity and debt,  management  is  investigating
alternate  financing  methods  and  sources  to raise  future  capital.  Private
placements,  joint ventures,  and non-traditional  equity and debt offerings are
some of the alternatives  CRLP is  contemplating.  The Company continues to work
diligently to improve its credit rating,  in order to reduce its cost of raising
future capital.  Management anticipates that its net cash provided by operations
and its existing cash balances will provide the necessary  funds on a short- and
long-term basis to cover its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding
indebtedness,  recurring capital expenditures,  and dividends to shareholders in
accordance  with Internal  Revenue Code  requirements  applicable to real estate
investment trusts.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Overview of Y2K Problem

The Year 2000 or "Y2K" problem refers to the inability of many existing computer
programs  having  time-sensitive  software to recognize a date using "00" as the
year 2000. Instead,  the computer programs interpret such data as the year 1900.
This  failure to  accurately  recognize  the year 2000 and other key dates could
result in a variety of problems ranging from data miscalculations to the failure
of entire  systems.  In an attempt to eliminate or minimize this potential risk,
CRLP has initiated an effort to identify,  understand, and address the myriad of
issues associated with the Y2K problem. CRLP has identified two main areas where
potential  Y2K  problems  exist:  (a)  Property   Management  Systems  and;  (b)
Information Systems.

Phase One - Assessing CRLP's Y2K Readiness

As a result of potential  risks posed by Y2K problems on CRLP's  operations,  in
the early months of 1998, CRLP formed a Year 2000 Committee to oversee,  manage,
and implement a Year 2000 Compliance  Program (the "Program").  The Committee is
comprised of representatives  from senior management and various departments and
advisors at the home and regional  offices,  including  the  telecommunications,
information   systems,   and  office  services   departments.   Because  of  the
wide-ranging  implications of the Y2K problem,  management  decided to carry out
the Program in multiple  phases over the remainder of 1998 and 1999. Many of the
phases of the Program are being carried out simultaneously.

The initial  step in assessing  CRLP's Y2K  readiness  consisted of  identifying
systems that are date  sensitive  and,  accordingly,  could pose  potential  Y2K
problems.  The process  included an examination  of  information  technology and
non-information  technology  systems at CRLP's home and regional  offices and at
CRLP's properties. The initial step of identifying systems has been completed by
CRLP's information  services department and building services department through
a combination of physical inspections and informational  interviews with Company
employees.

Having  identified  systems  that could have a potential  Y2K  problem,  CRLP is
attempting to determine which of the systems  actually have a Y2K problem.  Much
of the required  information  is within the exclusive  control of CRLP's vendors
and  manufacturers,  who are being contacted  through  standard form letters and
telephone calls requesting such information.  In the case of property management
systems,  a  database  was  compiled  for  the  types  of  equipment,  names  of
manufacturers  and model  numbers.  The  following is a summary of the Phase One
results obtained to date.

Property Management Systems

CRLP has identified six  categories of property  management  systems in which it
has the most exposure to potential Y2K problems. These categories include:

o Building automation (e.g.,  energy management,  HVAC) o Security card access o
Fire and life safety o Elevator o Garage revenue control o Office equipment

In April 1998,  CRLP began  gathering data from vendors to catalog the equipment
in all of its buildings. To date, approximately 75% of the information requested
has been  received.  CRLP does not  expect to  receive  100% of the  information
requested due to a number of nonresponsive vendors or unavailable information.

All of the responses  have confirmed that their systems would not be affected in
an adverse way due to the Y2K date change.  The Y2K steering committee is in the
process of evaluating if any of these  property  management  systems are mission
critical in nature and would have a negative impact on CRLP's ability to conduct
business if a failure  occurs.  At this time CRLP does not believe these systems
are mission critical. Regardless, efforts continue to obtain additional evidence
from vendors concerning these systems such as processes followed,  test scripts,
and actual findings. Once received, CRLP will further evaluate these systems and
will determine if it will be necessary to confirm the information  received from
the vendors. Due to the positive responses received CRLP does not feel that this
will be necessary.

Information Systems

Information systems fall into four general  categories:  Accounting and property
management; network operating systems; desktop software; and secondary systems.

Accounting and Property  Management - The general ledger and property management
software systems are not currently  compliant.  However,  new versions have been
written and are stated to be Y2K  compliant  by the  supplying  vendor.  CRLP is
currently in the process of testing the new  versions and the expected  schedule
for confirming compliance is as follows:

o System  testing - First  Quarter  1999 o Test  software  upgrades  - First and
Second  Quarter 1999 o Begin  installation  of upgrades - Second  Quarter 1999 o
Full Y2K Compliance - Second and Third Quarter 1999

New versions of the general ledger software system were written and delivered to
CRLP during the first quarter of 1999. CRLP found the new versions would not run
in the current environment. The vendor continues to develop the software systems
and has  represented  to CRLP that it expects to deliver Y2K  compliant  systems
during the early part of the third  quarter.  Upon  receipt,  CRLP will test the
systems and the software  upgrades  and,  assuming that the systems and upgrades
are operational,  will install the systems in the third and fourth quarters with
a goal of becoming fully compliant  during the early part of the fourth quarter.
While  the  vendor  is  revising  the  systems,  CRLP  intends  to  pursue  test
alternative  software  systems  offered  by  other  vendors.  If CRLP  finds  an
acceptable  alternative software system that is Y2K compliant,  it may implement
that system  instead of the system being revised by CRLP's  current  vendor.  If
CRLP were to implement an alternative  system,  CRLP may be able to achieve full
Y2K compliance as early as the third quarter.

Network  Operating  Systems -  Management  believes  that the network  operating
servers are  currently  Y2K compliant  subject to certain  possible  exceptions.
Microsoft  Corporation  recently announced that Windows NT 4.0, which CRLP uses,
is not Y2K compliant with service pak level III.  However,  Microsoft has stated
that  service  pak level IV will need to be  loaded  to  become  completely  Y2K
compliant.  Upgrades of Company  network  operating  systems are  expected to be
installed  in the  first and  second  quarters  of 1999,  bringing  the  network
operating servers into full compliance. Management believes that testing of this
new  software  will not be  necessary,  as it has  already  been  proven  in the
industry to be Y2K compliant.

Desktop  Software - Management  has  reviewed  all desktop  systems and software
applications, identified those that are not in compliance and compiled a list of
necessary  upgrades.  Those  upgrades have been completed for 95% of the current
systems and are now Y2K compliant.  The remaining upgrades for 5% of the systems
are anticipated to be completed by the end of the first quarter.  As part of the
continuing  efforts  to be Y2K  compliant,  every  new  system  is  tested  upon
installation.

The status of desktop compliance is as follows:

o Systems (hardware and software) testing - Complete
o Installation of updated  software that also provides Y2K compliance - November
1998 o Complete installation/full compliance - First Quarter 1999

Secondary Information Systems - "Secondary" information systems include, but are
not limited to: payroll;  fixed-asset system; and forecasting modeling software,
which provide projections on property returns and other items. Letters have been
received confirming Y2K compliance from the vendors of CRLP's secondary systems.
The number of  computers  related to these  secondary  systems  are  nominal and
testing is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 1999.

Telecommunications  Systems - In general,  management believes that the internal
telephone  systems are not date sensitive and should not be materially  affected
by Y2K problems.  A letter has been  received  from the telephone  system vendor
confirming  Y2K  readiness  of the  voice  mail  system,  telephone  system  and
telephone  hardware.  Testing will be completed by the end of the second quarter
of 1999.


Phase Two - Determining the Cost of Achieving Y2K Readiness and Implementing the
Y2K Action Plan

During the last two years,  costs for new  technology  to ensure Y2K  readiness,
including computers,  telephone systems, and software, has been approximately $1
million  and an  additional  $400,000  is  estimated  to be  spent  on  property
management  software  upgrades  and testing  from a  third-party  consultant  on
current secondary systems.  However, the costs of the project and the completion
date are based on  management's  best  estimates,  which  are based on  numerous
assumptions of future events.

Phase Three - Assessing the Risks to CRLP  of Noncompliance

Management does not believe that the impact of Y2K will have a material  adverse
effect on CRLP's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such
belief is based on management's  analysis of the risks to CRLP related to CRLP's
own  potential  Y2K  problems  discussed  above  and the  assessment  of the Y2K
problems of vendors, suppliers, and customers.

Property  Management Systems - Management  believes that the Y2K risks to CRLP's
financial  condition  and  operations  associated  with a  failure  of  building
management  systems is immaterial due to the fact that each of CRLP's properties
have, for the most part,  separate  building  management  systems.  In addition,
based upon the investigation results received to date, management believes there
is sufficient time to correct those system problems within CRLP's control before
the Year 2000.

In the event a failure of essential property management systems occurs at one or
more of CRLP's  buildings,  whether  due to a failure of a Company  system or an
interruption of utilities, management believes that the individual tenant leases
will protect CRLP from claims of  constructive  eviction or other  remedies that
could result in a termination of lease rights.  It is also  management's  belief
that most of the leases  eliminate,  limit or qualify  the rights of a tenant to
receive an abatement under such  circumstances.  Although there is always a risk
of claims  being  brought  on a  noncontractual  basis  (e.g.,  in tort),  it is
management's  belief that CRLP's efforts to identify and solve Y2K problems will
minimize  such  risk.   CRLP  has  also   attempted  to  allocate  the  risk  of
noncompliance to the vendors and  manufacturers  of the property  management and
information  systems by establishing  standard riders and addenda to be attached
to new contracts for systems using time sensitive data.

Information  Systems - Because CRLP's major source of income is rental  payments
under long-term leases,  the failure of key information  systems is not expected
to have a material  adverse  effect on CRLP's  financial  condition,  results of
operations, or cash flows for its existing properties. Even if problems with the
information systems are experienced,  the payment of rent under leases would not
be  excused.  However,  the  ability of CRLP to produce  complete  and  accurate
financial  information  in a timely  fashion could be impaired.  This  situation
would affect CRLP's  anticipated  development  projects or  acquisitions  of new
properties. Management expects to correct any information system problems within
CRLP's  control  before  the Year  2000,  thereby  minimizing  or  avoiding  the
increased cost of correcting problems after the fact.

Our  Vendors  - The  success  of  CRLP's  business  is not  closely  tied to the
operations  of any one  manufacturer,  vendor or supplier.  Accordingly,  if any
manufacturers, vendors or suppliers cease to conduct business due to Y2K related
problems,  management  expects to be able to contract with  alternate  providers
without  experiencing any material adverse effect on CRLP's financial condition,
results of operations, or cash flows.

Our Customers - Because of a broad  customer/tenant  base, CRLP's success is not
closely tied to the success of any particular  tenant.  Accordingly,  management
believes that there should not be a material  adverse effect on CRLP's financial
condition,  results of operations, or cash flows if any tenant ceases to conduct
business due to Y2K related  problems.  CRLP has  requested  that major  tenants
provide periodic updates as to their Y2K readiness.

Phase Four - Developing Contingency Plans

CRLP currently does not have  contingency  plans in place;  however,  management
expects  to develop  and  implement  contingency  plans by the end of the second
quarter of 1999.  CRLP's  contingency  plans will be  structured to address both
restoration of systems and their components and overall business operating risk.
These plans are intended to mitigate both internal  risks,  as well as potential
risks in the supply chain of CRLP's suppliers and customers.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133),  Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,  addresses the  accounting for
derivative  instruments,  including certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
other contracts,  and hedging activities.  Under SFAS 133, CRLP will be required
to account for derivative  financial  instruments,  if any, at their fair market
value, and make certain required disclosures. CRLP is required to adopt SFAS 133
for periods beginning January 1, 2000.

INFLATION

Substantially  all of the  leases  at the  retail  properties  provide  for  the
pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes,
common area  maintenance  expenses,  and  insurance.  Leases at the  multifamily
properties  generally  provide for an initial term of six months to one year and
allow  for  rent  adjustments  at the  time of  renewal.  Leases  at the  office
properties  typically  provide  for rent  adjustments  and the  pass-through  of
certain operating expenses during the term of the lease. All of these provisions
permit CRLP to increase  rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to
rising prices and,  therefore  serve to minimize  CRLP's exposure to the adverse
effects of inflation.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation


          Organization - Colonial  Realty Limited  Partnership  (the  "Operating
Partnership"or "CRLP"), a Delaware limited partnership,  was formed on August 6,
1993, to succeed as owner of  substantially  all of the predecessor  interest of
Colonial  Properties,  Inc. (CPI),  Equity Partners Joint Venture,  and Colonial
Properties Management Association, and certain real estate interest of Thomas H.
Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, James K. Lowder, Catherine K. Lowder, and the Bellwood
Trust  (collectively  referred to as the  Colonial  Group for  purposes of these
financial statements).  CRLP is the operating partnership of Colonial Properties
Trust, an Alabama real estate  investment trust (the "Company") whose shares are
listed  on the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE").  CRLP  is  engaged  in the
ownership,   development,   management,   and  leasing  of  multifamily  housing
communities,  retail malls and centers, and office buildings. Certain parcels of
land are also included.

         Federal  Income Tax Status -No  provision  for income taxes is provided
since all  taxable  income or loss or tax  credits  are  passed  through  to the
partners.  The Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax
purposes,  qualifies  as a real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  for federal
income tax purposes and generally  will not be subject to federal  income tax to
the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. REITs are
subject  to a number of  organizational  and  operational  requirements.  If the
Company  fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable  year,  the  Company  will be
subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.

         Principles of  Consolidation - The  consolidated  financial  statements
include the  Operating  Partnership  and Colonial  Properties  Services  Limited
Partnership (in which CRLP holds 99% general and limited partner interests).

         Investments in Partially Owned Entities - Partnerships and corporations
in which CRLP owns a 50% or less  interest and does not control are reflected in
the  consolidated  financial  statements as investments  accounted for under the
equity method. Under this method the investment is carried at cost plus or minus
equity in undistributed earnings or losses since the date of acquisition.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Land,  Buildings,  and  Equipment - Land,  buildings,  and equipment is
stated at the lower of cost, less  accumulated  depreciation,  or net realizable
value.  Where an impairment of a property's value is determined to be other than
temporary,  an allowance  for the estimated  potential  loss is  established  to
record the property at its net realizable value.  Depreciation is computed using
the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,  which
range from seven to 40 years.  Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. Replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the
estimated remaining useful lives of the assets.  When items of land,  buildings,
or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated  depreciation
are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of
operations.

         Undeveloped  Land and  Construction in Progress - Undeveloped  land and
construction in progress is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
CRLP  capitalizes  all  costs   associated  with  land   development   including
construction period interest and property taxes.

         Capitalization  of Interest - CRLP capitalizes  interest during periods
in which property is undergoing  development activities necessary to prepare the
asset for its intended use.

         Cash  and  Equivalents  -  CRLP  includes   highly  liquid   marketable
securities  and debt  instruments  purchased  with a maturity of three months or
less in cash equivalents.

         Restricted  Cash - Cash which is legally  restricted as to use consists
primarily of tenant deposits.

         Deferred Debt and Lease Costs - Amortization  of debt costs is recorded
using the  straight-line  method,  which  approximates  the  effective  interest
method,  over the terms of the related debt.  Leasing  commissions  and fees are
amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.

         Derivatives  -  CRLP  has  only  limited  involvement  with  derivative
financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes.  Interest rate
cap agreements  and interest rate swaps are used to reduce the potential  impact
of  increases  in  interest  rates  on  variable-rate  debt.  Premiums  paid for
purchased  interest rate cap  agreements are amortized to expense over the terms
of the caps.  Unamortized  premiums  are included in other assets in the balance
sheets.  Amounts  receivable  under cap agreements are accrued as a reduction of
interest expense. Payments under interest rate swap agreements are recognized as
adjustments to interest  expense as incurred.  Treasury lock agreements are used
by CRLP to set interest  rates in  anticipation  of public debt  offerings.  Any
gains or losses  related to treasury  locks are  included  in deferred  debt and
lease cost on the balance sheet and amortized  over the life of the related debt
to the extent that such treasury  locks are utilized.  All  unutilized  treasury
locks are expensed when their future  utility  expires.  All treasury locks were
utilized during 1998 and 1997.

         Revenue  Recognition - Rental income and management fees are recognized
as earned.  Anticipated  losses, if any, are recognized when such amounts become
known.

         Net  Income  Per Unit - Basic  net  income  per unit is  calculated  by
dividing the net income available to common  unitholders by the weighted average
numbers of common units outstanding  during the periods.  Diluted net income per
unit is calculated by dividing the net income available to common unitholders by
the weighted  average  numbers of common units  outstanding  during the periods,
adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities.

         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 the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

         Recently Issued Accounting Standard - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
Activities,  addresses the  accounting  for  derivative  instruments,  including
certain  derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts,   and  hedging
activity.  Under  SFAS 133,  CRLP will be  required  to account  for  derivative
financial  instruments,  if any, at their fair market  value,  and make  certain
required  disclosures.  CRLP is required to adopt SFAS 133 for periods beginning
January 1, 2000.

         Segment  Reporting  - In 1998,  CRLP  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  131 (SFAS  131),  Disclosure  about  Segments  of an
Enterprise and Related  Information.  Reportable  segments are identified  based
upon  management's   approach  for  making  operating  decisions  and  assessing
performance  of  CRLP.  The  adoption  of SFAS  131 did not  affect  results  of
operations  or  financial  position  but did require the  disclosure  of segment
information (see Note 7).

         Software  Development - CRLP capitalizes  certain internally  developed
software  costs.   Costs   capitalized  in  connection  with  internal  software
development  are  amortized  using the  straight-line  method over the estimated
useful life of the software.

         Reclassifications - Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made
to the 1996 and 1997  financial  statements in order to conform them to the 1998
financial statement presentation. <PAGE>

3. Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

          CRLP  acquired  12  properties  and  invested in an  additional  joint
venture during 1998, 25 properties during 1997, and 11 properties during 1996 at
aggregate  costs  of  $348.6  million,   $430.6  million,  and  $173.7  million,
respectively.  CRLP funded these acquisitions with cash proceeds from its public
offerings  of equity (see Note 9) and debt (see Note 8),  advances on bank lines
of credit,  the  issuance of limited  partnership  units in CRLP,  the  proceeds
received  from the  formation  of joint  ventures  (see  Note 6),  and cash from
operations.

7. Segment Information

         CRLP  is  organized  into,  and  manages  its  business  based  on  the
performance of, three separate and distinct  operating  divisions:  Multifamily,
Retail,  and  Office.  Each  division  has a  separate  management  team that is
responsible for acquiring,  developing,  managing, and leasing properties within
each division.  The applicable  accounting policies of the segments are the same
as  those  described  in  the  "Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies."
Management  evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to
them based on net operating  income (NOI). NOI consists of revenues in excess of
general operating expenses, salaries and wages, repairs and maintenance,  taxes,
licenses,  and insurance.  Segment  information for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996 is as follows:

         As of December  31,  1998,  CRLP has an  unsecured  bank line of credit
providing  for  total  borrowings  of up to $250  million.  This  line of credit
agreement  bears interest at LIBOR plus 80 to 135 basis points,  is renewable in
July 2000 and provides for a two-year  amortization  in the case of  nonrenewal.
The line of credit agreement  includes a competitive bid feature that will allow
CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for
a fixed term not to exceed 90 days.  The credit  facility is  primarily  used by
CRLP to finance  property  acquisitions  and  development and has an outstanding
balance at December 31, 1998, of $174.5 million.  The weighted  average interest
rate of this  short-term  borrowing  facility,  including  the  competitive  bid
balance, was 6.42% and 6.70% at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         During 1998 and 1997, CRLP completed five public offerings of unsecured
debt securities  totaling $350 million.  The proceeds of the offerings were used
to fund acquisitions,  development  expenditures,  repay balances outstanding on
CRLP's revolving credit facility, repay certain notes and mortgages payable, and
for general corporate purposes.  Details relating to these debt offerings are as
follows:

</TABLE>

          CRLP has entered into an interest rate cap agreement which limits debt
of $50  million to an  interest  rate of 8.00%  through  May 2, 2000.  CRLP paid
$227,500 for the interest rate cap,  which is being  amortized  over the life of
the agreement.  Subsequent to year-end, CRLP entered into two interest rate swap
agreements.  On January 4, 1999, Colonial entered into an interest rate swap for
$50  million of its line of credit at 4.97%  plus 80 to 135 basis  points and on
January 15, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for $52 million of tax
exempt bonds at a rate of 3.23%.  Both of these  interest  rate swap  agreements
have one-year  terms and any payments made or received  under the agreements are
recognized  as  adjustments  to  interest  expense as  incurred.  Treasury  lock
agreements  are used by CRLP, to set interest  rates in  anticipation  of public
debt offerings.  CRLP is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance
by the  counterparties  to its  interest  rate cap and  nonderivative  financial
assets  but has no  off-balance-sheet  credit  risk  of  accounting  loss.  CRLP
anticipates,  however,  that  counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their
obligations  under the  contracts.  CRLP  does not  obtain  collateral  or other
security to support  financial  instruments  subject to credit risk but monitors
the credit standing of counterparties.

         At December 31, 1998, CRLP had $704.5 million in unsecured indebtedness
including  balances  outstanding  on its bank line of credit and  certain  other
notes  payable.  The  remainder  of  CRLP's  notes  and  mortgages  payable  are
collateralized  by the assignment of rents and leases of certain  properties and
assets with an aggregate net book value of $320.8 million at December 31, 1998.

         The aggregate maturities of notes and mortgages payable at December 31,
1998, are as follows:

         Based on  borrowing  rates  available  to CRLP for notes and  mortgages
payable  with  similar  terms,  the  estimated  fair  value of CRLP's  notes and
mortgages payable at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $912.6 million
and $711.0 million, respectively.

         Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain  restrictive  covenants  which,
among other things, require maintenance of various financial ratios. At December
31, 1998, CRLP was in compliance with these covenants.

         Certain partners of CRLP have guaranteed  indebtedness of CRLP totaling
$33.5 million at December 31, 1998. These  individuals have not been indemnified
by CRLP.

9. Cash Contributions

     During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company completed eight public offerings of
common stock totaling  12,575,070  common shares of beneficial  interest (Common
Shares) and one public offering of preferred stock  (Preferred  Shares) totaling
5,000,000.  The proceeds of the offerings  were  contributed to CRLP and used to
fund  acquisition and development  expenditures,  repay balances  outstanding on
CRLP's revolving credit  agreement,  repay certain notes and mortgages  payable,
and for general corporate  purposes.  Details relating to these equity offerings
are as follows:

10. Employee Benefits

         Employees  of CRLP and  Colonial  Properties  Services,  Inc.  ("CPSI")
participate in a noncontributory  defined benefit pension plan designed to cover
substantially all employees. Pension expense includes service and interest costs
adjusted by actual  earnings on plan assets and  amortization  of prior  service
cost and the transition  amount. The benefits provided by this plan are based on
years of service and the employee's final average compensation. CRLP's policy is
to fund the minimum required  contribution  under ERISA and the Internal Revenue
Code.

         The  table  below  presents  a summary  of  pension  plan  status as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, as it relates to the employees of CRLP and CPSI.

         CRLP and CPSI  participate  in a salary  reduction  profit sharing plan
covering  substantially  all  employees.   This  plan  provides,   with  certain
restrictions,  that  employees may  contribute a portion of their  earnings with
CRLP and CPSI matching one-half of such contributions, solely at CRLP and CPSI's
discretion.  Contributions by CRLP and CPSI were $178,000, $159,000 and $164,000
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

11. Leasing Operations

         CRLP is in the business of leasing and  managing  office,  retail,  and
multifamily  property.  For  properties  owned by CRLP,  minimum  rentals due in
future periods under noncancelable operating leases extending beyond one year at
December 31, 1998, are as follows:

         Thereafter                                                   228,509

                                                             =================

         The noncancelable  leases are with tenants engaged in retail and office
operations  in  Alabama,  Georgia,  Florida,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,
Tennessee,  and Virginia.  Performance in accordance  with the lease terms is in
part  dependent  upon  the  economic  conditions  of the  respective  areas.  No
additional  credit risk  exposure  relating to the leasing  arrangements  exists
beyond the accounts  receivable  amounts  shown in the December 31, 1998 balance
sheet. Leases with tenants in multifamily  properties are generally for one year
or less and are thus excluded from the above table.  Substantially all of CRLP's
land,  buildings,  and equipment  represent  property leased under the above and
other short-term leasing arrangements.

         Rental income for 1998, 1997, and 1996 includes percentage rent of $4.0
million,  $2.2 million, and $1.8 million,  respectively.  This rental income was
earned when certain  retail tenants  attained  sales volumes  specified in their
respective lease agreements.

12. Related Party Transactions

     CRLP has generally  used  affiliated  construction  companies to manage and
oversee its development  projects.  CRLP paid $40.0 million,  $41.3 million, and
$42.6 million  ($37.3  million,  $39,8  million,  and $41.2 million of which was
subsequently  then  paid  to  unaffiliated  subcontractors,   respectively)  for
property development costs to Lowder Construction Company,  Inc., a construction
company  owned  by  The  Colonial  Company  ("TCC")  (an  affiliate  of  certain
shareholders and minority interest holders), during the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996,  respectively.  CRLP had outstanding construction invoices
and retainage payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling $4.3 million
and $2.3  million at December  31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  CRLP also paid
$0.4 million,  $5.2 million, and $27.9 million for property development costs to
two  construction  companies  owned by three  trustees  during  the years  ended
December  31,  1998,  1997,  and  1996,   respectively.   CRLP  had  outstanding
construction  invoices and  retainage  payable to these  construction  companies
totaling  $1.2  million  at  December  31,  1998.   There  were  no  outstanding
construction  invoices and retainage payable to these construction  companies at
December 31, 1997.

         Colonial  Commercial  Investments,  Inc.  ("CCI"),  which  is  owned by
trustees  James K.  Lowder and  Thomas H.  Lowder  has  guaranteed  indebtedness
totaling $1.3 million at December 31, 1998 for Anderson Block Properties,  which
is a partnership  accounted for by CRLP under the equity method  (listed in Note
6). CRLP has indemnified CCI from its guarantees of this indebtedness.

         On July 1, 1998, CRLP acquired a 79.8% interest in Colonial  Village at
Haverhill (formerly Haverhill Apartments).  The remaining 20.2% interest in this
property was acquired by entities that are owned by a trustee of CRLP.

         In connection with the Riverchase  Center  acquisition,  CRLP initially
acquired a 73% interest in a portion of the office complex.  Effective  November
1, 1997,  CRLP  purchased  the remaining 27% interest in the property by issuing
114,798  limited  partnership  units to the  seller.  The seller is a trustee of
CRLP.

         In November  1997,  CRLP  purchased  Polar BEK's 50%  interest in Polar
BEK/Colonial  Partnership I (a  partnership  previously  accounted for under the
equity method of  accounting),  a partnership  which owned a 168,000 square foot
office building in Birmingham for $7.4 million.  This purchase  increased CRLP's
ownership from 50% to 100%.

         Following is a summary of property acquisitions from entities for which
directors of the Company are involved as a partner or shareholder:

           All options granted in 1998 become  exercisable in three equal annual
installments  beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant and have a
term of ten years.

Defined Benefit Plan

           The Company  maintains a Retirement  Plan (the "Plan") for all of the
employees of the Company and its  subsidiaries.  An employee becomes eligible to
participate  in the Plan on January 1 or July 1 following the first  anniversary
of the  person's  employment  by the  Company  or  one  of its  consolidated  or
unconsolidated  subsidiaries  or age 21 if later.  Benefits  are based  upon the
number  of  years  of  service  (maximum  25  years),  and  the  average  of the
participant's  earnings during the five highest years of compensation during the
final 10 years of employment.  Each participant accrues a benefit at a specified
percentage of  compensation up to the Social Security wage base, and at a higher
percentage of compensation  above the Social  Security wage base.  Employment by
Colonial,  the Company's  predecessor,  or certain of its affiliated entities is
treated as covered  service for  purposes of the Plan.  A  participant  receives
credit for a year of service for every year in which  1,000 hours are  completed
in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries.

           The following table reflects  estimated  annual benefits payable upon
retirement  under the Plan as a single life annuity  commencing at age 65. These
benefits  ignore the lower benefit rate  applicable to earnings below the Social
Security covered compensation level.

</TABLE>


           The benefits shown are limited by the current  statutory  limitations
which  restrict  the  amount of  benefits  which  can be paid  from a  qualified
retirement plan. The statutory limit on compensation  which may be recognized in
calculating  benefits is $160,000 in 1999.  This limit is  scheduled to increase
periodically with the cost of living.

          Covered  compensation  under the Plan  includes  the  employees'  base
salary and other  earnings  received  from the Company.  Thomas H. Lowder has 24
years of covered service under the Plan,  Howard B. Nelson,  Jr. has 14 years of
service, C. Reynolds Thompson,  III has two years of service, John N. Hughey has
16 years of service, and Robert A. Jackson has one year of service.

Employment Agreement

           Thomas H. Lowder, the chief executive officer of the Company, entered
into an employment  agreement with the Company in September 1993. This agreement
provides  for an  initial  term of three  years,  with  automatic  renewals  for
successive  one year terms if neither party  delivers  notice of  non-renewal at
least six months prior to the next  scheduled  expiration  date.  The  agreement
provides for annual compensation of at least $275,000 and incentive compensation
on  substantially  the same terms as set forth in the  description of the Annual
Incentive Plan. See "Report on Executive Compensation -- Annual Incentive Plan."
The agreement includes provisions restricting Mr. Lowder from competing with the
Company during  employment and, except in certain  circumstances,  for two years
after termination of employment.  The employment  agreement provides for certain
severance  payments in the event of  disability  or  termination  by the Company
without cause or by the employee with cause.

                 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND

                              INSIDER PARTICIPATION


          None of the five members of the Executive Compensation Committee is an
employee of the  Company.  As  described  below,  M. Miller  Gorrie,  William M.
Johnson and James K. Lowder, who are members of the Committee,  own interests in
certain  entities  that,  during  1997,  were  parties to  certain  transactions
involving the Company

          On July 1, 1998, the Company acquired the Shoppes at Mansell, a retail
shopping center  containing  20,900 square feet of gross leasable area, from Mr.
Johnson and a partnership  controlled by Mr.  Johnson,  for  approximately  $3.7
million.  The  Company  paid the  purchase  price with  76,809  units of limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Units").

          Also on July 1, 1998,  the Company  acquired  Mansell  Overlook 200, a
Class-A  office  building  with 162,693  square feet of net rentable  area and a
500-car  parking  facility,  from a partnership  controlled  by Mr.  Johnson for
approximately  $27.7  million.  The Company paid the purchase price with 396,365
Units.  By these two  acquisitions,  the Company  completed the  transactions by
which it acquired Mr.  Johnson's real estate  portfolio,  as contemplated by the
1997 merger between the Company and Mr. Johnson.

          On July 1, 1998,  the  Company  acquired a 79.8%  interest in Colonial
Village at Haverhill, a multifamily property located in San Antonio,  Texas, for
a purchase price of $17.2 million. The remaining 20.2% interest was purchased by
certain entities controlled by Mr. Gorrie for a purchase price of $4.3 million.

          On  August  31,  1998,  the  Company   acquired  land  known  as  1800
International   Park,  from  Polar   BEK/Colonial   Partnership  II,  a  general
partnership  of which one of the two general  partners is Equity  Partners Joint
Venture,  a general  partnership in which Messrs. J. Lowder, T. Lowder and their
brother,  Robert E. Lowder,  are the sole general  partners  ("EPJV"),  for $1.8
million.  The  Company  paid the  purchase  price by issuing a  promissory  note
payable to Polar BEK/Colonial Partnership II for the full amount of the purchase
price.

          On October 7, 1998, the Company  acquired land known as Colonial Grand
at Promenade from Colonial Commercial  Investments,  Inc. ("CCI"), a corporation
owned by Messrs.  J. Lowder and T. Lowder for  approximately  $1.5 million.  The
Company paid the purchase price with 34,700 Units.

          On November  18,  1998,  the Company  acquired  land known as Colonial
Center at Research Park from CCI for  approximately  $1.0  million.  The Company
paid the purchase price with 36,647 Units.

          Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors, Inc. ("B&G"), a corporation of
which Mr. Gorrie is a shareholder and chairman of the board,  was engaged during
1995 to construct the expansion of the  Company's  Macon Mall.  The Company paid
B&G a total of $0.4  million  ($384,000  of which was then paid to  unaffiliated
subcontractors)  during  1998  pursuant  to this  engagement.  The  Company  had
outstanding construction invoices and retainage payable to this company totaling
$1.2 million at December 31, 1998.

          CCI has guaranteed  indebtedness of a partnership accounted for by the
Company under the equity  method in the  aggregate  amount of $1.3 million as of
December 31, 1998. The Company has  indemnified CCI against any liability it may
incur under this guarantee.

          The Management  Corporation  provided  management and leasing services
during 1998 to certain  entities in which  Messrs.  J. Lowder,  T. Lowder and R.
Lowder have an interest.  The  aggregate  amount of fees paid to the  Management
Corporation by such entities during 1998 was approximately $289,000. The Company
owns  a 99%  economic  interest  in  the  Management  Corporation  but,  due  to
limitations  imposed by the IRS's REIT rules,  owns only 1% of the voting stock.
The remainder of the voting stock is held by members of the Lowder family.

          Colonial  Insurance  Company,  a corporation  indirectly  owned by the
Lowder  family,  provided  insurance  brokerage  services for the Company during
1998. The aggregate amount paid by the Company to Colonial Insurance Company for
these services for the year ended December 31, 1998, was approximately $131,000.

          The  Company  leased  space to  certain  entities  in which the Lowder
family  has  an  interest  and  received  rent  from  these  entities   totaling
approximately $1.0 million during 1998.

          The Company engaged Lowder Construction Company, Inc., of which Mr. J.
Lowder serves as chairman of the board and which is  indirectly  owned by Mr. J.
Lowder and T.  Lowder,  to serve as  construction  manager  for ten  multifamily
development  and  expansion  projects  during 1998.  The Company paid a total of
$40.0  million   ($37.3   million  of  which  was  then  paid  to   unaffiliated
subcontractors) for the construction of these development and expansion projects
during 1998.  The Company had  outstanding  construction  invoices and retainage
payable to Lowder Construction  Company,  Inc. totaling $4.3 million at December
31, 1998.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

           The following table sets forth  information  regarding the beneficial
ownership of Common Shares as of March 10, 1999 for (1) each person known by the
Company to be the  beneficial  owner of more than five percent of the  Company's
outstanding  Common  Shares,  (2) each  trustee  of the  Company  and each Named
Executive Officer and (3) the trustees and executive  officers of the Company as
a group.  Each person  named in the table has sole voting and  investment  power
with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as
otherwise  set  forth in the  notes to the  table.  References  in the  table to
"Units"  are  to  units  of  limited  partnership   interest  in  the  Operating
Partnership.  Units  owned by a person  named in the table are  included  in the
"Number of Common  Shares"  column  because  such Units are  redeemable,  at the
option of the holder,  for cash equal to the value of an equal  number of Common
Shares or, at the election of the Company, for an equal number of Common Shares.
Because of  limitations  on ownership of Common Shares  imposed by the Company's
Declaration  of Trust,  none of the Lowder  brothers nor Mr. Ripps could in fact
redeem all of his Units for Common Shares without divesting a substantial number
of Common Shares in connection with the redemption. The extent to which a person
holds Units as opposed to Common Shares is set forth in the footnotes.

2(b)(i)  shall be determined  by reference to the Other  Agreement  that is most

effect any public sale or  distribution of securities of the Company of the same
or similar  class or  classes of the  securities  included  in the  Registration
Statement or any securities  convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
such  securities,  including a sale  pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the
Securities Act,  during such periods as reasonably  requested by the Underwriter
in an underwritten public offering by the Company; provided that no Holder shall
be so obligated under this Section 3 in the event that any such period requested
by the  Underwriter is longer than ninety (90) days and or occurs more than once
in any twelve (12) month period.

                  4.       Registration Procedures.

                  In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect
to a Registration  Statement  pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Company shall
use all  commercially  reasonable  efforts to effect or cause to be effected the
registration  of the Registrable  Securities  under the Securities Act to permit
the sale of such  Registrable  Securities by the Holder in  accordance  with its
intended method or methods of distribution, and the Company shall:

     (a)  prepare  and file with the SEC, as  specified  in Section 2 hereof,  a
Registration Statement,  which Registration Statement shall comply as to form in
all material  respects with the  requirements of the applicable form and include
all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith,  and use its
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain
effective in accordance with Section 2 hereof;

              (b) subject to Section 4(j) hereof,  prepare and file with the SEC
such  amendments  and  post-effective   amendments  to  each  such  Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration  Statement effective for
the applicable  period;  cause each such  Prospectus to be  supplemented  by any
required prospectus  supplement,  and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the  Securities  Act; and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities  covered by each Registration  Statement during the applicable
period in accordance  with the intended method or methods of distribution by the
selling Holder thereof;

               (c)  furnish  to the  Holder of  Registrable  Securities  without
charge, as many copies of each Prospectus,  including each or summary prospectus
preliminary  Prospectus,  and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other
documents as such Holder may  reasonably  request,  in order to  facilitate  the
public sale or other  disposition  of the  Registrable  Securities;  the Company
consents  to  the  use  of  any  such  Prospectus,  including  each  preliminary
Prospectus,  by the Holder of Registrable Securities, if any, in connection with
the  offering  and  sale  of the  Registrable  Securities  covered  by any  such
Prospectus;

     (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify,  or obtain  exemption from
registration or  qualification  for, all Registrable  Securities by the time the
applicable  Registration  Statement  is declared  effective by the SEC under all
applicable  state  securities  or "blue sky" laws of such  jurisdictions  as the
Holder of  Registrable  Securities  covered by a  Registration  Statement  shall
reasonably  request in writing,  keep each such registration or qualification or
exemption effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to
be  kept  effective  and do any and all  other  acts  and  things  which  may be
reasonably  necessary  or  advisable  to enable  such Holder to  consummate  the
disposition in each such  jurisdiction of such  Registrable  Securities owned by
such Holder;  provided,  however,  that the Company shall not be required to (i)
qualify  generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker
or dealer in such  jurisdiction  where it would not  otherwise  be  required  to
qualify but for this Section 4(d),  (ii) subject  itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction,  or (iii)  submit to the  general  service  of process in any such
jurisdiction;

                 (e) notify the Holder of Registrable  Securities  promptly and,
if  requested  by such  Holder,  confirm  such  advice  in  writing  (i)  when a
Registration   Statement  has  become  effective  and  when  any  post-effective
amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of the issuance by the
SEC or  any  state  securities  authority  of  any  stop  order  suspending  the
effectiveness  of a Registration  Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that  purpose,  and (iii) of the  happening of any event during the period a
Registration  Statement  is  effective  as a result of which  such  Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus  contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state  any  material  fact  required  to be stated  therein  or
necessary  to make  the  statements  therein  not  misleading,  and  (iv) of the
Company's  receipt of any notification of the suspension of the qualification of
any Registrable  Securities covered by a Registration  Statement for sale in any
jurisdiction; in the event the Company shall give notice as to the occurrence of
any event described Sections 4(e)(ii), 4(e)(iii) or 4(e)(iv) hereof, the Company
shall  extend  the period  during  which such  Registration  Statement  shall be
maintained  effective by the number of days during the period from and including
the date of the giving of such  notice to the date the Company  delivers  notice
that disposition may be made;

     (f) furnish to the Holder of Registrable  Securities  copies of any request
by the SEC or any state  securities  authority of amendments of supplements to a
Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information;

                 (g) make every  reasonable  effort to obtain the  withdrawal of

agreement or securities sales  agreement,  if any, in customary form) containing
such   representations  and  warranties  to  the  Holders  of  such  Registrable
Securities  and the  Underwriters,  if any, in form,  substance and scope as are
customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings as
may be  reasonably  requested  by  them  and  take  such  other  actions  as are
reasonably  required in order to expedite or facilitate the  disposition of such
Registrable Securities; and

               (q) furnish to each Registering  Holder and to each  Underwriter,
if  any,  a  signed  counterpart,   addressed  to  such  Registering  Holder  or

comfort  letter  or  comfort  letters  from  the  Company's  independent  public
accountants (to the extent permitted by the standards of the American  Institute
of  Certified  Public  Accountants),  each in customary  form and covering  such
matters of the type customarily  covered by opinions or comfort letters,  as the
case may be, as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included
in such offering or the managing Underwriter or Underwriters therefor reasonably
request.

                  The Company may require the Holder of  Registrable  Securities
to furnish to the Company in writing  such  information  regarding  the proposed
distribution  by such Holder of such  Registrable  Securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.

                  The Holders  agree that,  upon  receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(e)(iii)
hereof,  such Holder will  immediately  discontinue  disposition  of Registrable
Securities  pursuant to a Registration  Statement until such Holders' receipt of
the copies of the  supplemented  or amended  Prospectus,  if so  directed by the
Company,  such  Holders  will  deliver  to the  Company  (at the  expense of the
Company) all copies in its possession,  other than permanent file copies then in
such Holders' possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.

                  5.       Black-Out Period.

     (a)  Following  the  effectiveness  of a  Registration  Statement  (and the
filings  with any state  securities  commissions),  the  Company  may direct the
Holder to  suspend  sales of the  Registrable  Securities  for such times as the
Company  reasonably  may  determine is necessary  and  advisable,  including the
following  events (each,  a "Suspension  Event"):  (i) an  underwritten  primary
offering by the Company  where the  Company is advised by the  underwriters  for
such offering that sale of Registrable  Shares under the Registration  Statement
would have a material  adverse effect on the primary  offering,  or (ii) pending
negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a transaction or the occurrence of
an event (x) that would require additional disclosure of material information by
the Company in the Registration Statement (or such filings), (y) as to which the
Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving  confidentiality  or (z)
which renders the Company unable to comply with SEC  requirements,  in each case
under  circumstances  that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the
Registration  Statement  (or such  filings) to become  effective  or to promptly
amend or supplement the  Registration  Statement on a  post-effective  basis, as
applicable.

     (b) In the event of a  Suspension  Event,  the  Company  may give notice (a
"Suspension Notice") to the Holder to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares so
that the  Company  may  correct or update the  Registration  Statement  (or such
filings);  provided,  however,  that such suspension  shall continue only for so
long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. The Holder agrees that
it will  not  effect  any  sales  of the  Registrable  Shares  pursuant  to such
Registration  Statement  (or such  filings) at any time after it has  received a
Suspension Notice from the Company.  If so directed by the Company,  Holder will
deliver to the Company all copies of the  Prospectus  covering  the  Registrable
Shares held by them at the time of receipt of the Suspension  Notice. The Holder
may  recommence  effecting  sales  of the  Registrable  Shares  pursuant  to the
Registration Statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect
(an "End of Suspension Notice") from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice
shall  be  given  by  the  Company  promptly  following  the  conclusion  of any
Suspension Event and the  effectiveness of any required  amendment or supplement
to be the Registration Statement.

     (c)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  Sections  5(a)  and  5(b) to the
contrary:  (i) no Holder shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5(a) and
5(b)  hereof  for a period  of time in excess of sixty  (60)  days;  and (ii) no
Suspension  Notice may be given more than twice in any twelve (12) month period.
Moreover,  notwithstanding  Section  2(a)  hereof,  if the Company  shall give a
Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 5, the Company agrees it shall extend
the period during which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date
of the  giving  of the  Suspension  Notice  to and  including  the date when the
Holders  shall  have  received  the End of  Suspension  Notice and copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.

                  6. Rule 144 and Rule 144A.

                  For so  long  as  the  Company  is  subject  to the  reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that
it will timely file the reports  required to be filed by it under the Securities
Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
adopted by the SEC thereunder and, if at any time the Company is not required to
file such  reports,  it will,  upon the  request  of any  Holder of  Registrable
Securities,  make publicly  available other  information so long as necessary to
permit  sales  pursuant to Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act. The Company also
covenants  that  it will  provide  the  information  required  pursuant  to Rule
144A(d)(4)  under  the  Securities  Act  upon  the  request  of  any  Holder  of
Registrable  Securities  and it will take such  further  action as any Holder of
Registrable  Securities may reasonably request,  all to the extent required from
time to time, to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable  Securities  without
registration  under the  Securities  Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (a) Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act, as such Rule may be amended
from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the  Securities  Act, as such Rule may be
amended  from time to time,  or (c) any  similar  rule or  regulation  hereafter
adopted by the SEC.  Upon the request of any Holder of  Registrable  Securities,
the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

                  7.       Indemnification.

     (a) The Company will indemnify each Registering  Holder, each such Holder's
officers  and  directors,  and each person  controlling  such Holder  within the
meaning  of  Section 15 of the  Securities  Act,  against  all  claims,  losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses), arising
out of or based on any untrue  statement  (or  alleged  untrue  statement)  of a
material fact contained in any registration  statement or prospectus relating to
such Holders' Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
based on any omission (or alleged  omission)  to state  therein a material  fact
required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading;  provided, however, that the Company will not indemnify and will not
be liable to any Registered  Holder in any such case to the extent that any such
claim,  loss,  damage,  liability  or  expense  arises out of or is based on any
untrue  statement or omission or alleged untrue  statement or omission,  made in
conformity  with and in reliance  upon  information  furnished in writing to the
Company  by such  Holder or by an  underwriter  for  inclusion  therein  or such
Holder's failure to deliver any Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto.

     (b)  Each  Registering  Holder  will  indemnify  the  Company,  each of its
trustees  and each of its officers who signs the  registration  statement,  each
underwriter,  if any, of the Company's  securities  covered by such registration
statement,  and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter  within
the meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act,  against all claims,  losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any such registration  statement or prospectus,  or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto,  or based on any  omission  (or alleged
omission)  to state  therein a material  fact  required to be stated  therein or
necessary to make the  statements  therein not  misleading,  in each case to the
extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue  statement (or alleged untrue
statement)  or  omission  (or  alleged  omission)  is made in such  registration
statement or  prospectus,  in reliance upon and in conformity  with  information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion therein.

     (c) Each  party  entitled  to  indemnification  under  this  Section 7 (the
"Indemnified  Party")  shall  give  notice  to the  party  required  to  provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought.  However,
the  failure  to  so  notify  the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  not  relieve  the
Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, except to the extent of the actual
damages  suffered by such delay in notification.  The  Indemnifying  Party shall
assume the defense of such action.  including the  employment of counsel,  which
shall be chosen by the Indemnifying  Party and shall be reasonably  satisfactory
to the  Indemnified  Party,  and  payment of expenses  in  connection  with such
defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in
any such case,  but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel  shall be at the
expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying
Party shall not have  assumed the  defense of such  action  within a  reasonable
period of time,  or (iii)  the  Indemnified  Party  shall  have been  reasonably
advised by its counsel that there may be defenses  available to it or them which
are different from or additional to those  available to  Indemnifying  Party (in
which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense
of such action on behalf of the Indemnified  Party), in any of which events such
fees and expenses  shall be borne by the  Indemnifying  Party.  No  Indemnifying
Party in the  defense of any such claim or  litigation,  shall,  except with the
consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an  unconditional  term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnified  Party of a release
from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to
a party that would have been an  Indemnified  Party  under this  Section 7, then
each party that would have been an Indemnifying  Party hereunder  shall, in lieu
of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable
by  such  Indemnified  Party  as a  result  of  such  claims,  losses,  damages,
liabilities  and expenses in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to reflect the
relative fault of the  Indemnifying  Party on the one hand and such  Indemnified
Party on the other in connection  with the statement or omission  which resulted
in such claims, losses, damages,  liabilities and expenses, as well as any other
relevant  equitable  considerations.  The relative  fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged  omission to state a material fact
related to information  supplied by the  Indemnifying  Party or the  Indemnified
Party and the parties'  relative  intent,  knowledge,  access to information and
opportunity  to correct or prevent such  statement or omission.  The Company and
each  Registering  Holder  agree  that it  would  not be just and  equitable  if
contribution  pursuant to this Section 7 were  determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that fails to take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 7(d).

     (e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution  from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     (f) In no event  shall any  Registering  Holder be liable  for any  claims,
losses, damages, liabilities or expenses pursuant to this Section 7 in excess of
the proceeds to such Holder for the sale of such Holder's Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration.

                  8.       Miscellaneous.

     (a) No  Inconsistent  Agreement.  The Company has not entered into nor will
the  Company on or after the date of this  Agreement  enter  into any  agreement
which is  inconsistent  with the rights  granted  to the  Holder of  Registrable
Securities in this Agreement or otherwise  conflicts with the provisions hereof.

inconsistent with the rights granted to the holder of the Company's other issued
and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,  modified or supplemented,  and

2.       Lock-up Agreement.

                  2(a) Each Holder  hereby  agrees that,  except as set forth in
Sections  2(b) and 2(c)  below,  for a period of three  years from July 31, 1997
(the "Lock-up  Period"),  without the prior written  consent of the Company,  it
will not offer,  pledge,  sell, contract to sell, grant any options for the sale
of or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (collectively, "Dispose of"),
any Units (the "Lock-up");  provided, however, that if William M. Johnson ceases
to be a Trustee of the Company at any time prior to July 31,  2000,  the Lock-up
Period shall expire on the later of (i) July 31, 1998,  or (ii) the date William
M. Johnson ceases to be a Trustee.

     2(b) The  following  transfers of Units shall not be subject to the Lock-up
set forth in Section 2(a):  (i) a Holder may Dispose of Units as a gift or other
transfer  without  consideration;  (ii) a Holder  who is a  natural  person  may
Dispose  of Units to his or her  spouse,  siblings,  parents  or any  natural or
adopted  children or other  descendants  or to any personal  trust in which such
family members or such Holder retains the entire  beneficial  interest;  (iii) a
Holder may Dispose of Units to one or more  corporations,  partnerships or other
business   entities   that  are  wholly  owned  and   controlled,   legally  and
beneficially,  by such  Holder  or by a  Person  or  Persons  that  directly  or
indirectly  wholly  own  and  control  such  Holder;  (iv) a  Holder  that  is a
corporation,  partnership or other business entity (other than a Holder in which
any Person  other  than  William M.  Johnson or Phyllis  Johnson  owns an equity
interest)  may  Dispose of Units by  distributing  such Units in a  liquidation,
winding up or  otherwise  without  consideration  to the  equity  owners of such
corporation,  partnership  or  business  entity  or to  any  other  corporation,

(v) a Holder  may  Dispose  of Units  pursuant  to a pledge,  grant of  security

unrelated and unaffiliated pledgee. In the event that a Holder Disposes of Units
as  permitted  by this Section  2(b),  such Units shall  remain  subject to this
Agreement  and,  as a  condition  of  the  validity  of  such  disposition,  the
transferee  shall be  required  to execute  and  deliver a  counterpart  of this
Agreement  (except that a pledgee shall not be required to execute and deliver a
counterpart of this Agreement until it forecloses upon such Units).  Thereafter,
such transferee shall be deemed to be a Holder for purposes of this Agreement.

3(a) Filing of Shelf Registration  Statement.  

     At any time  beginning on the sixtieth day prior to the  expiration  of the
Lock-up Period (or after the expiration of the Lock-up Period),  any Holder,  or
one or more Holders, may deliver to the Company a written notice requesting that
the Company cause to be filed with the SEC a Registration  Statement registering
the  resale by such  Holders of a  specified  number of  Registrable  Securities
(which  number  shall not be less than  50,000  minus the  number of any  Common
Shares that William M. Johnson and/or Phyllis Johnson  simultaneously request by
written  notice to be  registered  for resale  pursuant  to Section  3(a) of the
Registration  Rights and Lock-Up  Agreement  dated as of July 31,  1997,  by and
among the Company, the Operating  Partnership and William M. Johnson and Phyllis
Johnson) held by or issuable to such Holder(s). Within 60 days of its receipt of
such a  notice  the  Company  shall  cause  to be  filed  with  the  SEC a Shelf
Registration  Statement  providing  for  the  resale  by such  Holder(s)  of the
Registrable  Securities  specified in the notice (and, if the Company so elects,
any other  securities  of the Company  held by the Holders or any other  Person,
including any other Registrable  Securities held by the requesting  Holder(s) or
other  Holders) in accordance  with the terms hereof and will use its reasonable
efforts to cause such Shelf  Registration  Statement to be declared effective by
the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company also may, at any time and
without  receipt  of a  notice  or  request  from  any  Holder(s),  file a Shelf
Registration  Statement registering the resale of all Registrable Securities not
previously covered by a Shelf Registration  Statement,  which Shelf Registration
Statement  also may register for sale Common Shares held by any other Person and
which  shall  satisfy  the  Company's  obligation  to file a Shelf  Registration
Statement  under this Section  3(a).  The Company  agrees to use its  reasonable
efforts to keep any Shelf Registration  Statement filed pursuant to this Section
3(a)  continuously  effective for a period  expiring on the date on which all of
the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant to the Shelf  Registration  Statement or have become  eligible for
sale pursuant to Rule 144 in a single  transaction in accordance with the volume
limitations contained in Rule 144(e) (or any successor rule under the Securities
Act) and, subject to Section 4(b) and Section 4(i), further agrees to supplement
or amend the Shelf  Registration  Statement,  if and as  required  by the rules,
regulations  or  instructions  applicable to the  registration  form used by the
Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any
other  rules  and  regulations  thereunder  for  shelf  registration;  provided,
however,  that the  Company  shall not be  deemed  to have  used its  reasonable
efforts to keep a Registration  Statement effective during the applicable period
if it  voluntarily  takes any action that would  result in the  selling  Holders
covered thereby not being able to sell such Registrable  Securities  during that
period,  unless such action is required under  applicable law or the Company has
filed a post-effective  amendment to the Registration  Statement and the SEC has
not declared it effective.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be required to file a Registration Statement or to keep a Registration Statement
effective if the  negotiation or  consummation of a transaction is pending or an
event has  occurred,  which  negotiation,  consummation  or event would  require
additional  disclosure by the Company in the Registration  Statement of material
information  which the  Company  has a bona fide  business  purpose  for keeping
confidential and the nondisclosure of which in the Registration  Statement might
cause the  Registration  Statement to fail to comply with applicable  disclosure
requirements,  and the Company so advises the  affected  Holder(s)  in a writing
signed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company;
provided,  however,  that the  Company  may not  delay,  suspend  or  withdraw a
Registration  Statement for such reason for more than 60 days or more often than
twice during any period of 12 consecutive  months.  3(b)  Expenses.  The Company
shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant
to Section 3(a). Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts, if any, sales
commissions,  fees and disbursements of counsel  representing  such Holder,  and
transfer  taxes,  if any,  relating to the sale or  disposition of such Holder's
Registrable  Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or Rule 144
under the Securities Act. 3(c) Inclusion in Shelf  Registration  Statement.  Any
Holder who does not timely provide the information  reasonably  requested by the
Company  in  connection  with any  Shelf  Registration  Statement  shall  not be
entitled  to have such  Holder's  Registrable  Securities  included in the Shelf
Registration  Statement.  3(d)  Repurchase  Option.  If a Holder  redeems  Units
pursuant to the Amended and  Restated  Agreement of Limited  Partnership  of the
Operating  Partnership  prior  to such  Holder's  request  for or the  Company's
voluntary  filing of a Shelf  Registration  Statement  pursuant to Section  3(a)
covering the Shares issuable upon such redemption, the Company may, in the event
that such  Holder  subsequently  delivers  to the  Company a notice  pursuant to
Section 3(a) requesting  registration of the resale of any such Shares, elect to
repurchase  such  Shares  for  cash  in  lieu of  filing  a  Shelf  Registration
Statement. The Company shall make any such election by delivering written notice
to the Holder within 30 days after  receipt of such  request.  If the Company so
elects,  the  purchase  price  per  Share so  repurchased  shall be equal to the
average  of the  closing  prices  of the  Common  Shares  on the New York  Stock
Exchange (or on such other exchange or in such other market as the Common Shares
are then  listed or traded) on the ten  trading  days  preceding  the  Company's
receipt of such request (or, if the Common  Shares have not traded on all ten of
such  trading  days,  in an amount  equal to the fair value of such  Registrable
Securities as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Company).

4.  Registration  Procedures.  

In connection with the obligations of the Company
with respect to the  Registration  Statement  pursuant to Section 3 hereof,  the
Company shall:

     4(a)  prepare  and file with the SEC,  within the time  period set forth in
Section 3 hereof,  a Shelf  Registration  Statement,  which  Shelf  Registration
Statement (i) shall be available for the sale of the  Registrable  Securities in
accordance  with the intended method or methods of distribution by the Holder(s)
thereof  and (ii)  shall  comply as to form in all  material  respects  with the
requirements  of the  applicable  form  and  include  all  financial  statements
required by the SEC to be filed therewith;

     4(b)  subject to the last three  sentences of this Section 4(b) and Section
4(i)  hereof,   (i)  prepare  and  file  with  the  SEC  such   amendments   and
post-effective  amendments  to  each  such  Registration  Statement  as  may  be
necessary  to keep such  Registration  Statement  effective  for the  applicable
period;  (ii) cause each such  Prospectus  to be  supplemented  by any  required
prospectus  supplement,  and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities  Act; (iii) respond
as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to
the Shelf Registration Statement, or any amendment,  post-effective amendment or
supplement  relating  thereto;  and  (iv)  comply  with  the  provisions  of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each
Registration  Statement  during the  applicable  period in  accordance  with the
intended  method  or  methods  of   distribution   by  the  Holder(s)   thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not
be required to take any of the actions  described in  subsections  (i),  (ii) or
(iii) above with respect to a Holder unless and until the Company has received a
notice (a  "Registration  Notice") from such Holder that such Holder  intends to
make offers or sales  under the  Registration  Statement  as  specified  in such
Registration Notice; provided, however, that the Company shall have ten business
days to prepare and file any such amendment or supplement  after receipt of such
Registration  Notice.  Once a Holder has delivered a Registration  Notice to the
Company,  such Holder shall promptly  provide to the Company such information as
the Company reasonably  requests in order to identify such Holder and the method
of distribution in a Registration  Statement or post-effective  amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus. Such Holder also shall
notify the Company in writing upon  completion  of such offer or sale or at such
time as such  Holder  no  longer  intends  to make  offers  or sales  under  the
Registration Statement;

     4(c) furnish to each Holder of Registrable  Securities that has delivered a
Registration  Notice to the  Company,  without  charge,  as many  copies of each
Prospectus,   including  each  preliminary  Prospectus,  and  any  amendment  or
supplement  thereto  and such other  documents  as such  Holder  may  reasonably
request,  in order to  facilitate  the public sale or other  disposition  of the
Registrable  Securities;  the  Company  consents  to the use of the  Prospectus,
including  each  preliminary  Prospectus,  by each such  Holder  of  Registrable
Securities  in  connection  with  the  offering  and  sale  of  the  Registrable
Securities covered by the Prospectus or the preliminary Prospectus;

     4(d) use its  reasonable  efforts to register  or qualify  the  Registrable
Securities  by the  time  the  applicable  Registration  Statement  is  declared
effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws of
such  jurisdictions  as  any  Holder  of  Registrable  Securities  covered  by a
Registration  Statement  shall  reasonably  request in  writing,  keep each such
registration  or  qualification  effective  during the period such  Registration
Statement is required to be kept  effective or during the period offers or sales
are being made by any such  Holder,  whichever  is  shorter,  and do any and all
other acts and things which may be  reasonably  necessary or advisable to enable
each such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company
shall  not  be  required  to  (i)  qualify  generally  to  do  business  in  any
jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction  where it
would not  otherwise  be  required to qualify but for this  Section  4(d),  (ii)
subject  itself to taxation  in any such  jurisdiction,  or (iii)  submit to the
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

     4(e) notify  each Holder of  Registrable  Securities  that has  delivered a
Registration  Notice to the  Company  promptly  and,  if  requested  by any such
Holder,  confirm such advice in writing (i) when a  Registration  Statement  has
become effective and when any post-effective  amendments and supplements thereto
become  effective,  (ii)  of the  issuance  by the SEC or any  state  securities
authority  of any stop order  suspending  the  effectiveness  of a  Registration
Statement or the initiation of any  proceedings  for that purpose,  (iii) if the
Company  receives  any  notification  with  respect  to  the  suspension  of the
qualification of the Registrable  Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation of any proceeding for such purpose,  and (iv) of the happening of any
event during the period a Registration Statement is effective which is of a type
specified  in the last  sentence of Section  3(a) hereof or as a result of which
such  Registration  Statement  or the  related  Prospectus  contains  any untrue
statement of a material  fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated  therein or necessary  to make the  statements  therein,  in light of the
circumstances  under which they were made (in the case of the  Prospectus),  not
misleading;

     4(f) make every  reasonable  effort to obtain the  withdrawal  of any order
suspending  the  effectiveness  of a  Registration  Statement  at  the  earliest
possible moment;

     4(g) furnish to each Holder of Registrable  Securities that has delivered a
Registration Notice to the Company,  without charge, at least one conformed copy
of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without
documents  incorporated  therein  by  reference  or  exhibits  thereto,   unless
requested);

     4(h)  cooperate  with the selling  Holder(s) of  Registrable  Securities to
facilitate  the timely  preparation  and delivery of  certificates  representing
Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend; and
enable  certificates  for such  Registrable  Securities  to be  issued  for such
numbers of Shares and  registered  in such names as the  selling  Holder(s)  may
reasonably  request at least two business days prior to any sale of  Registrable
Securities;

     4(i) subject to the last sentence of Section 3(a) hereof and the last three
sentences of Section 4(b) hereof,  upon the occurrence of any event contemplated
by Section 4(e)(iv) hereof,  use its reasonable  efforts promptly to prepare and
file a supplement or prepare,  file and obtain effectiveness of a post-effective
amendment to a Registration  Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated  therein by reference or file any other required  document so that,
as thereafter  delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable  Securities,  such
Prospectus  will not contain any untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material  fact  required to be stated  therein or  necessary to make the
statements  therein,  in the light of the  circumstances  under  which they were
made, not misleading;

     4(j) make available for inspection by  representatives  of the Holder(s) of
Registrable Securities and any counsel or accountant retained by such Holder(s),
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Company, and cause the respective  officers,  directors and employees of the
Company   to  supply  all   information   reasonably   requested   by  any  such
representative,   counsel  or  accountant  in  connection  with  a  Registration
Statement;  provided, however, that such records, documents or information which
the Company  determines,  in good faith,  to be  confidential  and notifies such
representatives,  counsel or accountants in writing that such records, documents
or information are confidential  shall not be disclosed by the  representatives,
counsel or accountants  unless (i) the disclosure of such records,  documents or
information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission
in a  Registration  Statement,  (ii) the release of such  records,  documents or
information  is ordered  pursuant  to a subpoena  or other order from a court of
competent  jurisdiction,  or (iii) such records,  documents or information  have
been generally made available to the public;

     4(k) a reasonable time prior to the filing of any  Registration  Statement,
any  Prospectus,  any  amendment  to a  Registration  Statement  or amendment or
supplement to a Prospectus,  provide  copies of such document (not including any
documents  incorporated by reference therein unless requested) to the Holders of
Registrable Securities that have provided a Registration Notice to the Company;

     4(l) use its reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered
by a  Registration  Statement to be listed on any  securities  exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

     4(m) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities,  not later than
the effective date of a Registration Statement;

4(n)  otherwise  use  its
reasonable  efforts to comply with all applicable  rules and  regulations of the
SEC  and  make  available  to  its  security  holders,  as  soon  as  reasonably
practicable,  an  earnings  statement  covering  at least 12 months  which shall
satisfy  the  provisions  of Section  11(a) of the  Securities  Act and Rule 158
thereunder; and

     4(o) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered
by a  Registration  Statement  to be  registered  with or approved by such other
governmental  agencies  or  authorities  as may be  necessary  by  virtue of the
business  and  operations  of the  Company  to enable  the  selling  Holders  to
consummate  the  disposition  of such  Registrable  Securities.  The Company may
require  each  Holder of  Registrable  Securities  to furnish to the  Company in
writing such information  regarding the proposed  distribution by such Holder of
such  Registrable  Securities  as the Company  may from time to time  reasonably
request in  writing.  In  connection  with and as a condition  to the  Company's
obligations  with respect to the  Registration  Statement  pursuant to Section 3
hereof and this  Section 4, each  Holder  agrees  that (i) such  Holder will not
offer or sell  such  Holder's  Registrable  Securities  under  the  Registration
Statement  until such  Holder has  provided a  Registration  Notice  pursuant to
Section  4(b)  hereof and has  received  copies of the  supplemental  or amended
Prospectus  contemplated  by Section  4(b) hereof and  received  notice that any
post-effective  amendment has become effective,  (ii) upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind  described in Section
4(e)(iv)  hereof,  such  Holder  will  forthwith   discontinue   disposition  of
Registrable  Securities  pursuant to a Registration  Statement until such Holder
receives  copies of the  supplemented  or  amended  Prospectus  contemplated  by
Section 4(i) hereof and receives  notice that any  post-effective  amendment has
become effective,  and, if so directed by the Company,  such Holder will deliver
to the Company (at the expense of the Company)  all copies in their  possession,
other than  permanent  file  copies  then in such  Holder's  possession,  of the
Prospectus  covering such Registrable  Securities current at the time of receipt
of such  notice,  (iii) all offers and sales  under the  Registration  Statement
shall be  completed  within sixty (60) days after the first date on which offers
or  sales  can be made  pursuant  to  clause  (i) of this  paragraph,  and  upon
expiration of such sixty (60) day period such Holder will not offer or sell such
Holder's  Registrable  Securities  under the  Registration  Statement until such
Holder has again  complied with the  provisions of clause (i) of this  paragraph
and (iv) such Holder will  deliver or cause  delivery of the  Prospectus  to any
purchaser  of  Registrable  Securities  from  such  Holder  in  accordance  with
applicable  requirements  of the  Securities  Act and the rules and  regulations
thereunder.

5.  Indemnification;  Contribution.  

     5(a)  Indemnification  by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the beneficial owners, officers and directors of each
Holder,  if any,  each  underwriter  (as  defined  in the  Securities  Act)  who
participates in the offering of such Registrable Securities, and each person, if
any, who controls such Holder or participating  person within the meaning of the
Securities  Act, as follows:  (i)  against any and all loss,  liability,  claim,
damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred,  arising out of any untrue statement
or alleged  untrue  statement of a material fact  contained in any  Registration
Statement (or any amendment  thereto) pursuant to which  Registrable  Securities
were registered under the Securities Act,  including all documents  incorporated
therein by  reference,  or the  omission  or  alleged  omission  therefrom  of a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue  statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact  contained in any  Prospectus  (or any amendment or
supplement thereto),  including all documents incorporated therein by reference,
or the omission or alleged  omission  therefrom of a material fact  necessary in
order to make the statements  therein,  in the light of the circumstances  under
which they were made, not misleading;  (ii) against any and all loss, liability,
claim,  damage  and  expense  whatsoever,  as  incurred,  to the  extent  of the
aggregate  amount paid in  settlement of any  litigation,  or  investigation  or
proceeding by any governmental  agency or body,  commenced or threatened,  or of
any claim whatsoever  based upon any such untrue  statement or omission,  or any
such alleged untrue  statement or omission,  if such settlement is effected with
the  written  consent of the  Company;  and (iii)  against  any and all  expense
whatsoever,   as  incurred  (including  reasonable  fees  and  disbursements  of
counsel),  reasonably incurred in investigating,  preparing or defending against
any litigation,  or investigation  or proceeding by any  governmental  agency or
body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged
untrue  statement or  omission,  to the extent that any such expense is not paid
under  subparagraph  (i) or (ii) above;  provided,  however,  that the indemnity
provided pursuant to this Section 5(a) does not apply to any Holder with respect
to any loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense to the extent arising out of
(x) any untrue  statement  or omission or alleged  untrue  statement or omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity  with written  information  furnished to
the Company by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or
(y) such Holder's  failure to deliver an amended or  supplemental  Prospectus if
such loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense would not have arisen had such
delivery occurred.

     5(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder severally, not jointly, agrees
to  indemnify  and hold  harmless  the Company  and its  trustees  and  officers
(including  each trustee and officer of the Company who signed the  Registration
Statement), and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of  Section  15 of the  Securities  Act,  to the same  extent  as the  indemnity
contained  in Section  5(a) hereof  (except  that any  settlement  described  in
Section 5(a)(ii) shall be effected with the written consent of such Holder), but
only insofar as such loss, liability,  claim, damage or expense arises out of or
is based upon any untrue statement or omission,  or alleged untrue statements or
omissions,  made in a Registration  Statement (or any amendment  thereto) or any
Prospectus  (or any  amendment or  supplement  thereto) in reliance  upon and in
conformity  with  written  information  furnished  to the Company by such Holder
expressly for use in such Registration  Statement (or any amendment  thereto) or
such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).


     5(c) Conduct of Indemnification  Proceedings.  Each indemnified party shall
give  reasonably  prompt  notice  to each  indemnifying  party of any  action or
proceeding  commenced  against it in respect  of which  indemnity  may be sought
hereunder,  but failure to so notify an indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity  agreement  provided
in Section  5(a) or 5(b)  above,  unless and to the extent it did not  otherwise
learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified  party results in
the forfeiture by the indemnifying  party of substantial rights and defenses and
(ii)  shall  not,  in  any  event,  relieve  the  indemnifying  party  from  any
obligations to any indemnified party other than the  indemnification  obligation
provided under Section 5(a) or 5(b) above. If the  indemnifying  party so elects
within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice,  the  indemnifying  party
may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party's
own expense with counsel  chosen by the  indemnifying  party and approved by the
indemnified parties defendant in such action or proceeding, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, if such indemnified party
or parties  reasonably  determine that a conflict of interest exists where it is
advisable for such  indemnified  party or parties to be  represented by separate
counsel or that, upon advice of counsel,  there may be legal defenses  available
to them  which are  different  from or in  addition  to those  available  to the
indemnifying  party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume
such  defense  and the  indemnified  party or parties  shall be  entitled to one
separate  counsel  at  the  indemnifying  party's  or  parties'  expense.  If an
indemnifying  party is not  entitled  to assume the  defense  of such  action or
proceeding  as  a  result  of  the  proviso  to  the  preceding  sentence,  such
indemnifying  party's  counsel  shall be entitled to conduct  such  indemnifying
party's  defense  and  counsel  for the  indemnified  party or parties  shall be
entitled to conduct the defense of such indemnified  party or parties,  it being
understood  that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the
defense  of  such  action  or  proceeding  as  efficiently  as  possible.  If an
indemnifying  party is not so  entitled  to assume the defense of such action or
does not assume such defense,  after having  received the notice  referred to in
the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party or parties will pay
the  reasonable  fees and  expenses  of  counsel  for the  indemnified  party or
parties.  In such event,  however,  no indemnifying party will be liable for any
settlement  effected without the written consent of such indemnifying  party. If
an indemnifying  party is entitled to assume,  and assumes,  the defense of such
action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph,  such indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any fees and  expenses  of counsel  for the  indemnified
parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

5(d)Contribution.  

     In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in
which the indemnity  agreement  provided for in this Section 5 is for any reason
held to be unenforceable  although  applicable in accordance with its terms, the
Company  and the selling  Holders  shall  contribute  to the  aggregate  losses,
liabilities,  claims,  damages and expenses of the nature  contemplated  by such
indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and such Holders, in such proportion
as is  appropriate  to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand
and  such  Holder  on the  other  (in such  proportions  that  the  Holders  are
severally,  not jointly,  responsible  for the balance),  in connection with the
statements  or  omissions  which  resulted  in  such  losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the  indemnifying  party and indemnified  parties shall be
determined by reference to, among other things,  whether the action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue  statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged  omission to state a material  fact,  has been made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such indemnifying party or the indemnified parties, and
the parties' relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such action. The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just or equitable if contribution  pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation  which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of this Section  5(d),  no selling
Holder  shall be  required to  contribute  any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the  Registrable  Securities  of such Holder were
offered to the public  exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder would
otherwise  have  been  required  to pay by reason of such  untrue  statement  or
omission.  The  liability  of any  Holder  selling  Registrable  Securities  for
contribution shall not exceed an amount equal to the offering price per share of
the Registrable  Securities,  multiplied by the number of Registrable Securities
sold  by such  Holder.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no  Person  guilty  of
fraudulent  misrepresentation  (within  the  meaning  of  Section  11(f)  of the
Securities  Act) shall be entitled to  contribution  from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 5(d),
each  trustee  of the  Company,  each  officer  of the  Company  who  signed the
Registration  Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within
the  meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

     6. Rule 144 Sales. 

     6(a) The Company  covenants  that it will file the  reports  required to be
filed by the Company  under the  Securities  Act and the  Exchange  Act so as to
enable the Holders to sell Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

     6(b) In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by a Holder
of any Shares  pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities  Act, the Company shall
cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely  preparation and delivery of
certificates  representing  Shares to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act
legend, and enable  certificates for such Shares to be for such number of shares
and registered in such names as such Holder may reasonably  request at least two
business days prior to any sale of Shares.

7. Miscellaneous. 

     7(a) Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this  Agreement,  including
the provisions of this sentence,  may not be amended,  modified or supplemented,
and waivers or  consents to  departures  from the  provisions  hereof may not be
given without the written consent of the Company and the Holder(s) of a majority
in amount of the outstanding  Registrable  Securities.  Notice of any amendment,
modification  or supplement to this  Agreement  adopted in accordance  with this
Section  7(a) shall be provided by the Company to the  Holder(s) at least thirty
(30)  days  prior  to the  effective  date of such  amendment,  modification  or
supplement.

     7(b)  Notices.  All  notices  and  other  communications  provided  for  or
permitted  hereunder  shall  be made in  writing  by  hand-delivery,  registered
first-class  mail,  telex,  telecopier,  or any courier  guaranteeing  overnight
delivery,  to the parties at their respective addresses set forth opposite their
signatures  below or at such other  address as a party may  indicate  by written
notice to the other party or parties.

         All such notices and  communications  shall be deemed to have been duly
given:  at the time  delivered  by hand,  if  personally  delivered;  three  (3)
business days after being  deposited in the mail,  postage  prepaid,  if mailed;
when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged,  if telecopied; or
at the time delivered, if delivered by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.


     7(c)  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding  upon the  successors,  assigns  and  transferees  of each of the
parties,  including,  without  limitation  and  without  the need for an express
assignment,  subsequent Holders. If any successor, assignee or transferee of any
Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation
of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of
the  terms  of this  Agreement,  and by  taking  and  holding  such  Registrable
Securities  such Person  shall be entitled  to receive the  benefits  hereof and
shall be conclusively  deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the terms and
provisions hereof.

                  7(d)  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in any
number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts,  each
of which when so  executed  shall be deemed to be an  original  and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  7(e)  Headings.   The  headings  in  this  Agreement  are  for
convenience  of  reference  only and  shall not limit or  otherwise  affect  the
meaning hereof.

                  7(f) GOVERNING  LAW. THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT  GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

                  7(g) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that
there  would be no  adequate  remedy at law if any party fails to perform any of
its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to
any  other  remedy to which it may be  entitled  at law or in  equity,  shall be
entitled to compel  specific  performance of the  obligations of any other party
under  this  Agreement  in  accordance  with the  terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement  in any  court  of the  United  States  or any  State  thereof  having
jurisdiction.

                  7(h)  Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement  is  intended by the
parties as a final  expression of their  agreement and intended to be a complete
and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all
prior  agreements  and  understandings  between the parties with respect to such
subject matter.

         IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the  parties  hereto has  executed  this
Agreement, or caused this Agreement to be duly executed on its behalf, as of the
date first written above.

beginning on the sixtieth day prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period (or,
if the Lock-up Period is less than three years, at any time after the expiration
of the Lock-up Period),  any Holder, or one or more Holders,  may deliver to the
Company a written notice  requesting that the Company cause to be filed with the
SEC a  Registration  Statement  registering  the  resale  by such  Holders  of a
specified number of Registrable  Securities (which number shall not be less than
50,000) held by or issuable to such Holder(s).  Within 60 days of its receipt of
such a  notice  the  Company  shall  cause  to be  filed  with  the  SEC a Shelf
Registration  Statement  providing  for  the  resale  by such  Holder(s)  of the
Registrable  Securities  specified in the notice (and, if the Company so elects,
any other  securities  of the Company  held by the Holders or any other  Person,
including any other Registrable  Securities held by the requesting  Holder(s) or
other  Holders) in accordance  with the terms hereof and will use its reasonable
efforts to cause such Shelf  Registration  Statement to be declared effective by
the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company also may, at any time and
without  receipt  of a  notice  or  request  from  any  Holder(s),  file a Shelf
Registration  Statement registering the resale of all Registrable Securities not
previously covered by a Shelf Registration  Statement,  which Shelf Registration
Statement  also may register for sale Common Shares held by any other Person and
which  shall  satisfy  the  Company's  obligation  to file a Shelf  Registration
Statement  under this Section  3(a).  The Company  agrees to use its  reasonable
efforts to keep any Shelf Registration  Statement filed pursuant to this Section
3(a)  continuously  effective for a period  expiring on the date on which all of
the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant to the Shelf  Registration  Statement or have become  eligible for
sale pursuant to Rule 144 in a single  transaction in accordance with the volume
limitations contained in Rule 144(e) (or any successor rule under the Securities
Act) and, subject to Section 4(b) and Section 4(i), further agrees to supplement
or amend the Shelf  Registration  Statement,  if and as  required  by the rules,
regulations  or  instructions  applicable to the  registration  form used by the
Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any
other  rules  and  regulations  thereunder  for  shelf  registration;  provided,
however,  that the  Company  shall not be  deemed  to have  used its  reasonable
efforts to keep a Registration  Statement effective during the applicable period
if it  voluntarily  takes any action that would  result in the  selling  Holders
covered thereby not being able to sell such Registrable  Securities  during that
period,  unless such action is required under  applicable law or the Company has
filed a post-effective  amendment to the Registration  Statement and the SEC has
not declared it effective.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be required to file a Registration Statement or to keep a Registration Statement
effective if the  negotiation or  consummation of a transaction is pending or an
event has  occurred,  which  negotiation,  consummation  or event would  require
additional  disclosure by the Company in the Registration  Statement of material
information  which the  Company  has a bona fide  business  purpose  for keeping
confidential and the nondisclosure of which in the Registration  Statement might
cause the  Registration  Statement to fail to comply with applicable  disclosure
requirements,  and the Company so advises the  affected  Holder(s)  in a writing
signed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company;
provided,  however,  that the  Company  may not  delay,  suspend  or  withdraw a
Registration  Statement for such reason for more than 60 days or more often than
twice during any period of 12 consecutive months.

                  3(b) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses
in connection with any registration  pursuant to Section 3(a). Each Holder shall
pay  all  underwriting   discounts,   if  any,  sales   commissions,   fees  and
disbursements of counsel  representing such Holder,  and transfer taxes, if any,
relating to the sale or  disposition  of such  Holder's  Registrable  Securities
pursuant to the Shelf  Registration  Statement or Rule 144 under the  Securities
Act.

                  3(c) Inclusion in Shelf Registration Statement. Any Holder who
does not timely provide the information  reasonably  requested by the Company in
connection with any Shelf  Registration  Statement shall not be entitled to have
such  Holder's  Registrable   Securities  included  in  the  Shelf  Registration
Statement.

                  3(d) Repurchase  Option. If a Holder redeems Units pursuant to
the Amended and  Restated  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership  of the  Operating
Partnership prior to such Holder's request for or the Company's voluntary filing
of a Shelf  Registration  Statement pursuant to Section 3(a) covering the Shares
issuable  upon such  redemption,  the Company may, in the event that such Holder
subsequently  delivers  to  the  Company  a  notice  pursuant  to  Section  3(a)
requesting  registration  of the resale of any such Shares,  elect to repurchase
such  Shares  for cash in lieu of  filing a Shelf  Registration  Statement.  The
Company shall make any such election by delivering  written notice to the Holder
within 30 days after  receipt of such  request.  If the  Company so elects,  the
purchase  price per Share so  repurchased  shall be equal to the  average of the
closing  prices of the Common Shares on the New York Stock  Exchange (or on such
other  exchange or in such other market as the Common  Shares are then listed or
traded) on the ten trading days preceding the Company's  receipt of such request
(or, if the Common Shares have not traded on all ten of such trading days, in an
amount equal to the fair value of such  Registrable  Securities as determined in
good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Company).

         4.       Registration Procedures.

         In connection  with the  obligations of the Company with respect to the
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall:

                  4(a) prepare and file with the SEC, within the time period set
forth  in  Section  3  hereof,  a  Shelf  Registration  Statement,  which  Shelf
Registration  Statement (i) shall be available  for the sale of the  Registrable
Securities in accordance  with the intended method or methods of distribution by
the Holder(s)  thereof and (ii) shall comply as to form in all material respects
with  the  requirements  of  the  applicable  form  and  include  all  financial
statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith;

                  4(b) subject to the last three  sentences of this Section 4(b)
and Section 4(i) hereof,  (i) prepare and file with the SEC such  amendments and
post-effective  amendments  to  each  such  Registration  Statement  as  may  be
necessary  to keep such  Registration  Statement  effective  for the  applicable
period;  (ii) cause each such  Prospectus  to be  supplemented  by any  required
prospectus  supplement,  and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities  Act; (iii) respond
as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to
the Shelf Registration Statement, or any amendment,  post-effective amendment or
supplement  relating  thereto;  and  (iv)  comply  with  the  provisions  of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each
Registration  Statement  during the  applicable  period in  accordance  with the
intended  method  or  methods  of   distribution   by  the  Holder(s)   thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not
be required to take any of the actions  described in  subsections  (i),  (ii) or
(iii) above with respect to a Holder unless and until the Company has received a
notice (a  "Registration  Notice") from such Holder that such Holder  intends to
make offers or sales  under the  Registration  Statement  as  specified  in such
Registration Notice; provided, however, that the Company shall have ten business
days to prepare and file any such amendment or supplement  after receipt of such
Registration  Notice.  Once a Holder has delivered a Registration  Notice to the
Company,  such Holder shall promptly  provide to the Company such information as
the Company reasonably  requests in order to identify such Holder and the method
of distribution in a Registration  Statement or post-effective  amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus. Such Holder also shall
notify the Company in writing upon  completion  of such offer or sale or at such
time as such  Holder  no  longer  intends  to make  offers  or sales  under  the
Registration Statement;

                  4(c) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has
delivered a Registration  Notice to the Company,  without charge, as many copies
of each Prospectus,  including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or
supplement  thereto  and such other  documents  as such  Holder  may  reasonably
request,  in order to  facilitate  the public sale or other  disposition  of the
Registrable  Securities;  the  Company  consents  to the use of the  Prospectus,
including  each  preliminary  Prospectus,  by each such  Holder  of  Registrable
Securities  in  connection  with  the  offering  and  sale  of  the  Registrable
Securities covered by the Prospectus or the preliminary Prospectus;

                  4(d) use its  reasonable  efforts to  register  or qualify the
Registrable  Securities  by the time the  applicable  Registration  Statement is
declared  effective by the SEC under all  applicable  state  securities or "blue
sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable  Securities covered
by a Registration  Statement shall reasonably request in writing, keep each such
registration  or  qualification  effective  during the period such  Registration
Statement is required to be kept  effective or during the period offers or sales
are being made by any such  Holder,  whichever  is  shorter,  and do any and all
other acts and things which may be  reasonably  necessary or advisable to enable
each such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company
shall  not  be  required  to  (i)  qualify  generally  to  do  business  in  any
jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction  where it
would not  otherwise  be  required to qualify but for this  Section  4(d),  (ii)
subject  itself to taxation  in any such  jurisdiction,  or (iii)  submit to the
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

                  4(e)  notify each Holder of  Registrable  Securities  that has
delivered a Registration Notice to the Company promptly and, if requested by any
such Holder,  confirm such advice in writing (i) when a  Registration  Statement
has become  effective and when any  post-effective  amendments  and  supplements
thereto  become  effective,  (ii)  of  the  issuance  by the  SEC  or any  state
securities  authority  of any  stop  order  suspending  the  effectiveness  of a
Registration  Statement or the initiation of any  proceedings  for that purpose,
(iii) if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of the Registrable  Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or
the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose,  and (iv) of the happening of
any event during the period a Registration  Statement is effective which is of a
type  specified  in the last  sentence of Section  3(a) hereof or as a result of
which such Registration  Statement or the related Prospectus contains any untrue
statement of a material  fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated  therein or necessary  to make the  statements  therein,  in light of the
circumstances  under which they were made (in the case of the  Prospectus),  not
misleading;

                  4(f) make every reasonable  effort to obtain the withdrawal of
any order  suspending  the  effectiveness  of a  Registration  Statement  at the
earliest possible moment;

                  4(g) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities that has
delivered a Registration  Notice to the Company,  without  charge,  at least one
conformed copy of each Registration  Statement and any post-effective  amendment
thereto  (without  documents  incorporated  therein  by  reference  or  exhibits
thereto, unless requested);

                  4(h)  cooperate  with the  selling  Holder(s)  of  Registrable
Securities to facilitate  the timely  preparation  and delivery of  certificates
representing  Registrable  Securities to be sold and not bearing any  Securities
Act legend; and enable certificates for such Registrable Securities to be issued
for such numbers of Shares and registered in such names as the selling Holder(s)
may  reasonably  request  at  least  two  business  days  prior  to any  sale of
Registrable Securities;

                  4(i)  subject to the last  sentence of Section 3(a) hereof and
the last three  sentences  of Section 4(b) hereof,  upon the  occurrence  of any
event  contemplated  by Section  4(e)(iv)  hereof,  use its  reasonable  efforts
promptly  to  prepare  and  file  a  supplement  or  prepare,  file  and  obtain
effectiveness of a post-effective  amendment to a Registration  Statement or the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
other  required  document so that, as thereafter  delivered to the purchasers of
the  Registrable  Securities,  such  Prospectus  will  not  contain  any  untrue
statement  of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact  required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                  4(j) make available for inspection by  representatives  of the
Holder(s) of Registrable  Securities  and any counsel or accountant  retained by
such Holder(s),  all financial and other records,  pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company, and cause the respective officers,  directors and
employees of the Company to supply all information  reasonably  requested by any
such  representative,  counsel or accountant in connection  with a  Registration
Statement;  provided, however, that such records, documents or information which
the Company  determines,  in good faith,  to be  confidential  and notifies such
representatives,  counsel or accountants in writing that such records, documents
or information are confidential  shall not be disclosed by the  representatives,
counsel or accountants  unless (i) the disclosure of such records,  documents or
information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission
in a  Registration  Statement,  (ii) the release of such  records,  documents or
information  is ordered  pursuant  to a subpoena  or other order from a court of
competent  jurisdiction,  or (iii) such records,  documents or information  have
been generally made available to the public;

                  4(k) a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration
Statement,  any  Prospectus,  any  amendment  to  a  Registration  Statement  or
amendment or supplement to a  Prospectus,  provide  copies of such document (not
including any documents  incorporated by reference  therein unless requested) to
the Holders of Registrable  Securities that have provided a Registration  Notice
to the Company;

                  4(l)  use its  reasonable  efforts  to cause  all  Registrable
Securities  covered by a  Registration  Statement to be listed on any securities
exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

                  4(m)     provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable 
                           Securities, not later than the effective date
                           of a Registration Statement;

                  4(n) otherwise use its  reasonable  efforts to comply with all
applicable  rules and  regulations of the SEC and make available to its security
holders,  as soon as reasonably  practicable,  an earnings statement covering at
least 12 months  which shall  satisfy  the  provisions  of Section  11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and

                  4(o)  use its  reasonable  efforts  to cause  the  Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved
by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue
of the business and  operations of the Company to enable the selling  Holders to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

         The Company  may  require  each  Holder of  Registrable  Securities  to
furnish to the  Company in  writing  such  information  regarding  the  proposed
distribution  by such Holder of such  Registrable  Securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.

         In connection with and as a condition to the Company's obligations with
respect  to the  Registration  Statement  pursuant  to Section 3 hereof and this
Section 4, each  Holder  agrees that (i) such Holder will not offer or sell such
Holder's  Registrable  Securities  under the  Registration  Statement until such
Holder has provided a  Registration  Notice  pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof and
has received copies of the  supplemental or amended  Prospectus  contemplated by
Section 4(b) hereof and received  notice that any  post-effective  amendment has
become  effective,  (ii) upon  receipt  of any  notice  from the  Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section  4(e)(iv)  hereof,  such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to  a  Registration   Statement   until  such  Holder  receives  copies  of  the
supplemented  or amended  Prospectus  contemplated  by Section  4(i)  hereof and
receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective,  and, if
so directed  by the  Company,  such  Holder will  deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company)  all copies in their  possession,  other than  permanent
file copies then in such Holder's  possession,  of the Prospectus  covering such
Registrable  Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice, (iii) all
offers and sales under the  Registration  Statement  shall be  completed  within
sixty  (60)  days  after  the  first  date on which  offers or sales can be made
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph, and upon expiration of such sixty (60)
day  period  such  Holder  will not  offer  or sell  such  Holder's  Registrable
Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder has again complied
with the  provisions  of clause (i) of this  paragraph and (iv) such Holder will
deliver or cause  delivery of the  Prospectus  to any  purchaser of  Registrable
Securities from such Holder in accordance  with  applicable  requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

         5.       Indemnification; Contribution.

                  5(a)  Indemnification  by the Company.  The Company  agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,  the  beneficial  owners,  officers and
directors of each Holder, if any, each underwriter (as defined in the Securities
Act) who participates in the offering of such Registrable  Securities,  and each
person,  if any, who controls  such Holder or  participating  person  within the
meaning  of the  Securities  Act,  as  follows:  (i)  against  any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration  Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Registrable
Securities  were registered  under the Securities  Act,  including all documents
incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom
of a  material  fact  required  to be stated  therein or  necessary  to make the
statements  therein not  misleading  or arising out of any untrue  statement  or
alleged untrue  statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto),  including all documents  incorporated therein
by reference,  or the omission or alleged omission  therefrom of a material fact
necessary  in  order  to  make  the  statements  therein,  in the  light  of the
circumstances  under which they were made, not misleading;  (ii) against any and
all loss, liability,  claim, damage and expense whatsoever,  as incurred, to the
extent  of the  aggregate  amount  paid  in  settlement  of any  litigation,  or
investigation  or proceeding by any  governmental  agency or body,  commenced or
threatened,  or of any claim  whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission,  or any such alleged untrue statement or omission,  if such settlement
is effected with the written  consent of the Company;  and (iii) against any and
all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements
of  counsel),  reasonably  incurred in  investigating,  preparing  or  defending
against any  litigation,  or  investigation  or proceeding  by any  governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or
any claim whatsoever  based upon any such untrue  statement or omission,  or any
such alleged untrue  statement or omission,  to the extent that any such expense
is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;  provided,  however,  that the
indemnity  provided  pursuant to this  Section 5(a) does not apply to any Holder
with  respect  to any loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense to the extent
arising out of (x) any untrue  statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission  made in reliance upon and in  conformity  with written  information
furnished  to the Company by such  Holder  expressly  for use in a  Registration
Statement  (or any  amendment  thereto) or any  Prospectus  (or any amendment or
supplement  thereto)  or (y) such  Holder's  failure  to  deliver  an amended or
supplemental Prospectus if such loss, liability,  claim, damage or expense would
not have arisen had such delivery occurred.

                  5(b)  Indemnification by Holders.  

Each Holder severally,  not
jointly,  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its trustees and
officers  (including  each  trustee  and  officer of the  Company who signed the
Registration  Statement),  and each  Person,  if any,  who  controls the Company
within the  meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities  Act, to the same extent as
the  indemnity  contained  in Section 5(a) hereof  (except  that any  settlement
described in Section 5(a)(ii) shall be effected with the written consent of such
Holder),  but only  insofar as such loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense
arises out of or is based  upon any untrue  statement  or  omission,  or alleged
untrue  statements  or  omissions,  made  in a  Registration  Statement  (or any
amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in
reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information  furnished  to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration  Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

                  5(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Each indemnified
party shall give  reasonably  prompt  notice to each  indemnifying  party of any
action or proceeding  commenced  against it in respect of which indemnity may be
sought hereunder,  but failure to so notify an indemnifying  party (i) shall not
relieve it from any liability  which it may have under the  indemnity  agreement
provided  in  Section  5(a) or 5(b)  above,  unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the  indemnified  party
results in the forfeiture by the  indemnifying  party of substantial  rights and
defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event,  relieve the indemnifying  party from
any  obligations  to  any  indemnified  party  other  than  the  indemnification
obligation  provided under Section 5(a) or 5(b) above. If the indemnifying party
so  elects  within  a  reasonable  time  after  receipt  of  such  notice,   the
indemnifying  party may assume the defense of such action or  proceeding at such
indemnifying  party's own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying  party
and approved by the indemnified  parties defendant in such action or proceeding,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided,  however, that, if
such  indemnified  party or parties  reasonably  determine  that a  conflict  of
interest exists where it is advisable for such  indemnified  party or parties to
be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be
legal  defenses  available  to them which are  different  from or in addition to
those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not
be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party or parties shall be
entitled  to one  separate  counsel  at the  indemnifying  party's  or  parties'
expense.  If an indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding as a result of the proviso to the preceding sentence,  such
indemnifying  party's  counsel  shall be entitled to conduct  such  indemnifying
party's  defense  and  counsel  for the  indemnified  party or parties  shall be
entitled to conduct the defense of such indemnified  party or parties,  it being
understood  that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the
defense  of  such  action  or  proceeding  as  efficiently  as  possible.  If an
indemnifying  party is not so  entitled  to assume the defense of such action or
does not assume such defense,  after having  received the notice  referred to in
the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party or parties will pay
the  reasonable  fees and  expenses  of  counsel  for the  indemnified  party or
parties.  In such event,  however,  no indemnifying party will be liable for any
settlement  effected without the written consent of such indemnifying  party. If
an indemnifying  party is entitled to assume,  and assumes,  the defense of such
action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph,  such indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any fees and  expenses  of counsel  for the  indemnified
parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

                  5(d) Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity  agreement  provided for in
this Section 5 is for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in
accordance with its terms,  the Company and the selling Holders shall contribute
to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature
contemplated  by such  indemnity  agreement  incurred  by the  Company  and such
Holders,  in such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the  Company on the one hand and such  Holder on the other (in such  proportions
that the Holders are severally,  not jointly,  responsible for the balance),  in
connection  with the  statements  or  omissions  which  resulted in such losses,
claims,  damages,  liabilities  or  expenses,  as  well  as any  other  relevant
equitable  considerations.  The  relative  fault of the  indemnifying  party and
indemnified  parties  shall be  determined  by reference to, among other things,
whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
been made by, or relates to information  supplied by, such indemnifying party or
the indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,  access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

         The  parties  hereto  agree that it would not be just or  equitable  if
contribution  pursuant  to  this  Section  5(d)  were  determined  by  pro  rata
allocation or by any other method of  allocation  which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding  the provisions of this Section 5(d), no selling Holder shall be
required  to  contribute  any  amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the  Registrable  Securities  of such Holder were  offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder would  otherwise have
been  required  to pay by reason  of such  untrue  statement  or  omission.  The
liability of any Holder selling  Registrable  Securities for contribution  shall
not exceed an amount  equal to the offering  price per share of the  Registrable
Securities,  multiplied  by the number of  Registrable  Securities  sold by such
Holder.

         Notwithstanding   the   foregoing,   no  Person  guilty  of  fraudulent
misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the  Securities  Act)
shall be  entitled  to  contribution  from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5(d), each trustee of
the Company,  each officer of the Company who signed the Registration  Statement
and each Person,  if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the  Securities  Act shall  have the same  rights to  contribution  as the
Company.

         6.       Rule 144 Sales.

                  6(a) The  Company  covenants  that it will  file  the  reports
required to be filed by the Company  under the  Securities  Act and the Exchange
Act so as to enable the  Holders to sell  Shares  pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.

                  6(b)  In   connection   with  any  sale,   transfer  or  other
disposition by a Holder of any Shares  pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act,  the Company  shall  cooperate  with such Holder to  facilitate  the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates  representing Shares to be sold and not
bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such Shares to be
for such  number of shares  and  registered  in such  names as such  Holder  may
reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of Shares.

         7.       Miscellaneous.

                  7(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including  the  provisions  of this  sentence,  may not be amended,  modified or
supplemented,  and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions  hereof
may not be given without the written consent of the Company and the Holder(s) of
a majority in amount of the outstanding  Registrable  Securities.  Notice of any
amendment,  modification  or supplement to this Agreement  adopted in accordance
with this  Section  7(a) shall be provided by the  Company to the  Holder(s)  at
least  thirty  (30)  days  prior  to  the  effective  date  of  such  amendment,
modification or supplement.

                  7(b) Notices.  All notices and other  communications  provided
for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class  mail,  telex,  telecopier,  or any courier  guaranteeing  overnight
delivery,  to the parties at their respective addresses set forth opposite their
signatures  below or at such other  address as a party may  indicate  by written
notice to the other party or parties.


         All such notices and  communications  shall be deemed to have been duly
given:  at the time  delivered  by hand,  if  personally  delivered;  three  (3)
business days after being  deposited in the mail,  postage  prepaid,  if mailed;
when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged,  if telecopied; or
at the time delivered, if delivered by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

                  7(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the  successors,  assigns and transferees of each
of the  parties,  including,  without  limitation  and  without  the need for an
express assignment, subsequent Holders. If any successor, assignee or transferee
of any Holder shall acquire Registrable  Securities,  in any manner,  whether by
operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject
to  all of  the  terms  of  this  Agreement,  and by  taking  and  holding  such

         WHEREAS, on September 29, 1993 the Company,  Colonial Properties,  Inc.
(of which  CCI is the  successor)  and  certain  other  parties  entered  into a
Registration Rights and Lock-up Agreement (the "Initial  Agreement") pursuant to
which the Company granted to certain holders of Units (as defined in the Initial
Agreement) of the Operating  Partnership certain  registration  rights, and such
holders agreed to certain lock-up arrangements;
         WHEREAS,  on July 1, 1996, CCI and certain other parties entered into a
Supplemental Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement pursuant to which certain
additional  Units  became  subject to the terms and  conditions  of the  Initial
Agreement;
         WHEREAS,  on July 1,  1997,  CCI  entered  into a  second  Supplemental

         WHEREAS,  the parties hereto have agreed that, except as stated herein,
the  Additional  Units  shall be subject  to, and the  parties  hereto  shall be
governed by, the terms and conditions of the Initial Agreement.
         NOW, THEREFORE,  the parties hereto, in consideration of the foregoing,
the mutual  covenants and agreements  hereinafter set forth,  and other good and
valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  hereby  are
acknowledged, agree as follows:
         1.       General.
                  1(a) Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Agreement.
                  1(b) Except as otherwise  provided herein, CCI and the Company
shall have all of the  rights and  obligations  with  respect to the  Additional
Units as are  provided for in the Initial  Agreement  with respect to the Common

be deemed to amend,  waive,  supplement,  or  otherwise  affect the terms of the
Initial Agreement.
         2.       Definitions.
         Except as otherwise provided herein,
                  2(a) The Additional Units shall be deemed "Units" as that term
is  defined  in the  Initial  Agreement,  and  any  Common  Shares  issued  upon
redemption of Additional  Units shall be deemed "Shares" as that term is defined
in the Initial  Agreement.  The Additional  Units and any Common Shares issuable
upon redemption of Additional Units are referred to herein  collectively as "New
Securities."
                  2(b)  Any  Common  Shares   issued  upon  the   redemption  of

         3.       Lock-up Agreement.
                  3(a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
the Initial  Agreement,  the Holder hereby  agrees that,  except as set forth in
Section  3(b)  below,  for a period  of one year  from the  respective  dates of
issuance  of the  Additional  Units (the  "Lock-up  Period"),  without the prior

sell,  grant any options for the sale of or  otherwise  dispose of,  directly or
indirectly (collectively, "Dispose of"), any New Securities (the "Lock-up").
                  3(b) The following  transfers of New  Securities  shall not be

until it forecloses upon such New Securities). Thereafter, such transferee shall
be deemed to be a Holder for purposes of this Agreement.

         4.       Shelf Registration Under the Securities Act.
                  Beginning  after the  expiration  of the Lock-up  Period,  the

Statement any Registrable Securities held by the Holder(s), subject to the terms
and conditions, and pursuant to the procedures, specified in Sections 3 and 4 of
the Initial Agreement.
         5.       Indemnification; Contribution.

         6.       Rule 144 Sales.
                  The  Company  covenants  to  undertake  all such  steps as are
specified in Section 6 of the Initial Agreement in order to enable any Holder to
sell Common  Shares  issued or issuable  upon  redemption  of  Additional  Units
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
         7.       Miscellaneous.
                  7(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including  the  provisions  of this  sentence,  may not be amended,  modified or
supplemented,  and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions  hereof
may not be given without the written consent of the Company and the Holders of a
majority in amount of the outstanding New Securities; provided, however, that no
amendment, modification or supplement or waiver or consent to the departure with
respect to the  provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 hereof shall be effective as
against any person who is then a Holder of New Securities unless consented to in
writing by such Holder of New Securities. Notice of any amendment,  modification
or supplement  to this  Agreement  shall  promptly be provided by the Company to

Securities  and is  intended to be a complete  and  exclusive  statement  of the

matter  contained  herein.  This Agreement  supersedes all prior  agreements and

Notice in accordance  with the terms hereof and will use its reasonable  efforts
to cause such Shelf  Registration  Statement to be declared effective by the SEC
as soon as practicable. The Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to keep
the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period expiring on
the  date on  which  all of the  Registrable  Securities  covered  by the  Shelf
Registration  Statement  have  been  sold  pursuant  to the  Shelf  Registration
Statement  or have become  eligible  for sale  pursuant  to Section  4(1) of the
Securities Act or Rule 144 thereunder  and,  subject to Section 4(b) and Section
4(i), further agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if
and as required by the rules,  regulations  or  instructions  applicable  to the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf  Registration  Statement or
by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf
registration;  provided,  however,  that the Company shall not be deemed to have
used its reasonable  efforts to keep a Registration  Statement  effective during
the applicable  period if it  voluntarily  takes any action that would result in
selling  Holders  covered  thereby  not  being  able  to sell  such  Registrable
Securities  during that period,  unless such action is required under applicable
law or the  Company has filed a  post-effective  amendment  to the  Registration
Statement  and the  SEC  has not  declared  it  effective.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement or
to keep a Registration Statement effective if the negotiation or consummation of
a  transaction  is  pending  or  an  event  has  occurred,   which  negotiation,
consummation or event would require additional  disclosure by the Company in the
Registration Statement of material information which the Company has a bona fide
business purpose for keeping  confidential and the nondisclosure of which in the
Registration  Statement might cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply
with applicable disclosure requirements; provided, however, that the Company may
not delay, suspend or withdraw a Registration Statement for such reason for more
than 60 days or more  often  than  twice  during  any  period of 12  consecutive
months.

     3(b)  Expenses.   The  Company  shall  pay  all  Registration  Expenses  in
connection with any registration pursuant to Section 3(a). Each Holder shall pay
all  underwriting   discounts,   if  any,  sales   commissions,   the  fees  and
disbursements of counsel  representing such Holder,  and transfer taxes, if any,
relating to the sale or  disposition  of such  Holder's  Registrable  Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, Section 4(1) of the Securities Act
or Rule 144 thereunder.

     3(c)  Inclusion in Shelf  Registration  Statement.  Any Holder who does not
timely provide the information reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with  the  Shelf  Registration  Statement  shall  not be  entitled  to have  its
Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

     3(d) Repurchase Option. In lieu of registering  Registrable Securities that
a Holder seeks to register pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof,  the Company may, by
delivery  of written  notice to such  Holder  within 30 days after  receipt of a
Registration  Notice from such  Holder,  elect to  repurchase  such  Registrable
Securities  for cash, in an amount per Share equal to the average of the closing
prices of the  Common  Shares on the New York Stock  Exchange  (or on such other
exchange or in such other market as the Common Shares are then listed or traded)
on the ten trading days  preceding  the Company's  receipt of such  Registration
Notice  (or,  if the common  shares  have not traded on all ten of such  trading
days,  in an amount equal to the fair value of such  Registrable  Securities  as
determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Company).

                  4.       Registration Procedures.

                  In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect
to the Registration  Statement  pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Company shall,
to the extent applicable:

     4(a)  prepare  and file with the SEC,  within the time  period set forth in
Section 3 hereof,  a Shelf  Registration  Statement,  which  Shelf  Registration
Statement (i) shall be available for the sale of the  Registrable  Securities in
accordance  with the intended  method or methods of  distribution by the selling
Holders thereof,  and (ii) shall comply as to form in all material respects with
the  requirements  of the applicable  form and include all financial  statements
required by the SEC to be filed therewith;

     4(b)  subject to the last three  sentences of this Section 4(b) and Section
4(i)  hereof,   (i)  prepare  and  file  with  the  SEC  such   amendments   and
post-effective  amendments  to  each  such  Registration  Statement  as  may  be
necessary  to keep such  Registration  Statement  effective  for the  applicable
period;  (ii) cause each such  Prospectus  to be  supplemented  by any  required
prospectus  supplement,  and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities  Act; (iii) respond
as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to
the Shelf Registration Statement, or any amendment,  post-effective amendment or
supplement  relating  thereto;  and  (iv)  comply  with  the  provisions  of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each
Registration  Statement  during the  applicable  period in  accordance  with the
intended  method or methods of  distribution  by the  selling  Holders  thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not
be required to take any of the actions  described in  subsections  (i),  (ii) or
(iii) above with respect to each  particular  Holder of  Registrable  Securities
unless and until the Company has  received a  Registration  Notice from a Holder
that  such  Holder  intends  to make  offers  or sales  under  the  Registration
Statement as specified in such Registration Notice; provided,  however, that the
Company  shall have 10 business  days to prepare and file any such  amendment or
supplement after receipt of the Registration Notice. Once a Holder has delivered
a Registration Notice to the Company,  such Holder shall promptly provide to the
Company such information as the Company reasonably requests in order to identify
such Holder and the method of distribution in a post-effective  amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus. Such Holder also shall
notify the Company in writing upon  completion  of such offer or sale or at such
time as such  Holder  no  longer  intends  to make  offers  or sales  under  the
Registration Statement;

     4(c) furnish to each Holder of Registrable  Securities that has delivered a
Registration  Notice to the  Company,  without  charge,  as many  copies of each
Prospectus,   including  each  preliminary  Prospectus,  and  any  amendment  or
supplement  thereto  and such other  documents  as such  Holder  may  reasonably
request,  in order to  facilitate  the public sale or other  disposition  of the
Registrable  Securities;  the  Company  consents  to the use of the  Prospectus,
including  each  preliminary  Prospectus,  by each such  Holder  of  Registrable
Securities  in  connection  with  the  offering  and  sale  of  the  Registrable
Securities covered by the Prospectus or the preliminary Prospectus;

     4(d) use its  reasonable  efforts to register  or qualify  the  Registrable
Securities  by the  time  the  applicable  Registration  Statement  is  declared
effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws of
such  jurisdictions  as  any  Holder  of  Registrable  Securities  covered  by a
Registration  Statement  shall  reasonably  request in  writing,  keep each such
registration  or  qualification  effective  during the period such  Registration
Statement is required to be kept  effective or during the period offers or sales
are being  made by a Holder  that has  delivered  a  Registration  Notice to the
Company,  whichever  is shorter,  and do any and all other acts and things which
may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the
disposition in each such  jurisdiction of such  Registrable  Securities owned by
such Holder;  provided,  however,  that the Company shall not be required to (i)
qualify  generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker
or dealer in such  jurisdiction  where it would not  otherwise  be  required  to
qualify but for this Section 4(d),  (ii) subject  itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction,  or (iii)  submit to the  general  service  of process in any such
jurisdiction;

     4(e) notify  each Holder of  Registrable  Securities  that has  delivered a
Registration  Notice to the Company  promptly  and, if requested by such Holder,
confirm  such advice in writing  (i) when a  Registration  Statement  has become
effective and when any post-effective  amendments and supplements thereto become
effective,  (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of
any stop order suspending the  effectiveness of a Registration  Statement or the
initiation of any  proceedings for that purpose,  (iii) if the Company  receives
any  notification  with respect to the  suspension of the  qualification  of the
Registrable  Securities  for sale in any  jurisdiction  or the initiation of any
proceeding  for such purpose,  and (iv) of the happening of any event during the
period a Registration Statement is effective which is of a type specified in the
last  sentence of Section 3(a) hereof or as a result of which such  Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus  contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state  any  material  fact  required  to be stated  therein  or
necessary to make the statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances  under
which they were made (in the case of the Prospectus), not misleading;

     4(f) make every  reasonable  effort to obtain the  withdrawal  of any order
suspending  the  effectiveness  of a  Registration  Statement  at  the  earliest
possible moment;

     4(g) furnish to each Holder of Registrable  Securities that has delivered a
Registration Notice to the Company,  without charge, at least one conformed copy
of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without
documents  incorporated  therein  by  reference  or  exhibits  thereto,   unless
requested);

     4(h)  cooperate  with the  selling  Holders of  Registrable  Securities  to
facilitate  the timely  preparation  and delivery of  certificates  representing
Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend; and
enable  certificates  for such  Registrable  Securities  to be  issued  for such
numbers  of Shares  and  registered  in such names as the  selling  Holders  may
reasonably  request at least two business days prior to any sale of  Registrable
Securities;

     4(i) subject to the last sentence of Section 3(a) hereof and the last three
sentences of Section 4(b) hereof,  upon the occurrence of any event contemplated
by Section 4(e)(iv) hereof,  use its reasonable  efforts promptly to prepare and
file a supplement or prepare,  file and obtain effectiveness of a post-effective
amendment to a Registration  Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated  therein by reference or file any other required  document so that,
as thereafter  delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable  Securities,  such
Prospectus  will not contain any untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material  fact  required to be stated  therein or  necessary to make the
statements  therein,  in the light of the  circumstances  under  which they were
made, not misleading;

     4(j) make available for inspection by representatives of the Holders of the
Registrable  Securities and any counsel or accountant  retained by such Holders,
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Company, and cause the respective  officers,  directors and employees of the
Company   to  supply  all   information   reasonably   requested   by  any  such
representative,   counsel  or  accountant  in  connection  with  a  Registration
Statement;  provided, however, that such records, documents or information which
the Company  determines,  in good faith,  to be  confidential  and notifies such
representatives,  counsel or accountants in writing that such records, documents
or information are confidential  shall not be disclosed by the  representatives,
counsel or accountants  unless (i) the disclosure of such records,  documents or
information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission
in a  Registration  Statement,  (ii) the release of such  records,  documents or
information  is ordered  pursuant  to a subpoena  or other order from a court of
competent  jurisdiction,  or (iii) such records,  documents or information  have
been generally made available to the public;

     4(k) a reasonable time prior to the filing of any  Registration  Statement,
any  Prospectus,  any  amendment  to a  Registration  Statement  or amendment or
supplement to a Prospectus,  provide  copies of such document (not including any
documents  incorporated by reference therein unless requested) to the Holders of
Registrable Securities that have provided a Registration Notice to the Company;

     4(l) use its reasonable  efforts to cause all Registrable  Securities to be
listed on any  securities  exchange on which  similar  securities  issued by the
Company are then listed;

     4(m) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities,  not later than
the effective date of a Registration Statement;

     4(n)  otherwise use its  reasonable  efforts to comply with all  applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to its security holders,  as
soon as  reasonably  practicable,  an  earnings  statement  covering at least 12
months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 thereunder; and

     4(o) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered
by a  Registration  Statement  to be  registered  with or approved by such other
governmental  agencies  or  authorities  as may be  necessary  by  virtue of the
business and  operations  of the Company to enable  Holders that have  delivered
Registration  Notices  to the  Company to  consummate  the  disposition  of such
Registrable Securities.

                  The Company may require each Holder of Registrable  Securities
to furnish to the Company in writing  such  information  regarding  the proposed
distribution  by such Holder of such  Registrable  Securities as the Company may
from time to time reasonably request in writing.

                  In  connection  with  and  as a  condition  to  the  Company's
obligations  with respect to the  Registration  Statement  pursuant to Section 3
hereof and this Section 4, each Holder agrees that (i) it will not offer or sell
its  Registrable  Securities  under  the  Registration  Statement  until  it has
provided a Registration  Notice pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof and has received
copies of the  supplemental or amended  Prospectus  contemplated by Section 4(b)
hereof  and  receives  notice  that  any  post-effective  amendment  has  become
effective,  (ii) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind  described in Section  4(e)(iv)  hereof,  such Holder will
forthwith  discontinue  disposition  of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to a
Registration  Statement until such Holder receives copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus  contemplated by Section 4(i) hereof and receives notice that
any  post-effective  amendment has become effective,  and, if so directed by the
Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company)
all copies in its  possession,  other than  permanent  file  copies then in such
Holder's  possession,  of the Prospectus  covering such  Registrable  Securities
current at the time of receipt  of such  notice,  and (iii) all offers and sales
under the Registration Statement shall be completed within sixty (60) days after
the  first  date on which  offers or sales can be made  pursuant  to clause  (i)
above,  and upon  expiration  of such sixty (60) day period the Holder  will not
offer or sell its Registrable  Securities under the Registration Statement until
it has again complied with the provisions of clause (i) above.

                  5.       Indemnification; Contribution.

     5(a)  Indemnification  by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold  harmless  each Holder and its officers and  directors or trustees and each
Person,  if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act as follows:

                                    (i)  against  any and all  loss,  liability,
                           claim,  damage and expense  whatsoever,  as incurred,
                           arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
                           statement  of  a  material  fact   contained  in  any
                           Registration  Statement  (or any  amendment  thereto)
                           pursuant  to  which   Registrable   Securities   were
                           registered  under the Securities  Act,  including all
                           documents  incorporated therein by reference,  or the
                           omission or alleged omission  therefrom of a material
                           fact  required to be stated  therein or  necessary to
                           make the statements therein not misleading or arising
                           out  of  any  untrue   statement  or  alleged  untrue
                           statement  of  a  material  fact   contained  in  any
                           Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement  thereto),
                           including  all  documents   incorporated  therein  by
                           reference,   or  the  omission  or  alleged  omission
                           therefrom  of a material  fact  necessary in order to
                           make  the  statements  therein,  in the  light of the
                           circumstances   under  which  they  were  made,   not
                           misleading;

                                    (ii)  against  any and all loss,  liability,
                           claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to
                           the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement
                           of any litigation,  or investigation or proceeding by
                           any  governmental   agency  or  body,   commenced  or
                           threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any
                           such  untrue  statement  or  omission,  or  any  such
                           alleged  untrue   statement  or  omission,   if  such
                           settlement  is effected  with the written  consent of
                           the Company; and

                                    (iii)    against   any   and   all   expense
                           whatsoever,  as incurred  (including  reasonable fees
                           and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in
                           investigating,  preparing  or  defending  against any
                           litigation,  or  investigation  or  proceeding by any
                           governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
                           in each  case  whether  or not a party,  or any claim
                           whatsoever  based upon any such untrue  statement  or
                           omission,  or any such  alleged  untrue  statement or
                           omission,  to the extent that any such expense is not
                           paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided,  however,  that the indemnity  provided  pursuant to this Section 5(a)
does not apply to any Holder with respect to any loss, liability,  claim, damage
or expense to the extent arising out of (x) any untrue  statement or omission or
alleged  untrue  statement or omission  made in reliance  upon and in conformity
with written  information  furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement  thereto) or (y) such Holder's failure to deliver an
amended or supplemental  Prospectus if such loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or
expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.

     5(b) Indemnification by Holders.  Each Holder severally agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and the other selling  Holders,  and each of their
respective  directors and officers  (including  each director and officer of the
Company who signed the  Registration  Statement),  and each Person,  if any, who
controls the Company or any other  selling  Holder within the meaning of Section
15 of the  Securities  Act, to the same  extent as the  indemnity  contained  in
Section 5(a) hereof  (except that any settlement  described in Section  5(a)(ii)
shall be effected with the written consent of such Holder),  but only insofar as
such loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense arises out of or is based upon
any untrue  statement or omission,  or alleged  untrue  statements or omissions,
made in a  Registration  Statement (or any amendment  thereto) or any Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written  information  furnished to the Company by such selling Holder  expressly
for use in  such  Registration  Statement  (or any  amendment  thereto)  or such
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

     5(c) Conduct of Indemnification  Proceedings.  Each indemnified party shall
give  reasonably  prompt  notice  to each  indemnifying  party of any  action or
proceeding  commenced  against it in respect  of which  indemnity  may be sought
hereunder,  but failure to so notify an indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity  agreement  provided
in Section  5(a) or 5(b)  above,  unless and to the extent it did not  otherwise
learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified  party results in
the forfeiture by the indemnifying  party of substantial rights and defenses and
(ii)  shall  not,  in  any  event,  relieve  the  indemnifying  party  from  any
obligations to any indemnified party other than the  indemnification  obligation
provided under Section 5(a) or 5(b) above. If the  indemnifying  party so elects
within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice,  the  indemnifying  party
may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party's
own expense with counsel  chosen by the  indemnifying  party and approved by the
indemnified parties defendant in such action or proceeding, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, if such indemnified party
or parties  reasonably  determine that a conflict of interest exists where it is
advisable for such  indemnified  party or parties to be  represented by separate
counsel or that, upon advice of counsel,  there may be legal defenses  available
to them  which are  different  from or in  addition  to those  available  to the
indemnifying  party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume
such  defense  and the  indemnified  party or parties  shall be  entitled to one
separate  counsel  at  the  indemnifying  party's  or  parties'  expense.  If an
indemnifying  party is not  entitled  to assume the  defense  of such  action or
proceeding  as  a  result  of  the  proviso  to  the  preceding  sentence,  such
indemnifying  party's  counsel  shall be entitled to conduct  such  indemnifying
party's  defense  and  counsel  for the  indemnified  party or parties  shall be
entitled to conduct the defense of such indemnified  party or parties,  it being
understood  that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the
defense  of  such  action  or  proceeding  as  efficiently  as  possible.  If an
indemnifying  party is not so  entitled  to assume the defense of such action or
does not assume such defense,  after having  received the notice  referred to in
the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party or parties will pay
the  reasonable  fees and  expenses  of  counsel  for the  indemnified  party or
parties.  In such event,  however,  no indemnifying party will be liable for any
settlement  effected without the written consent of such indemnifying  party. If
an indemnifying  party is entitled to assume,  and assumes,  the defense of such
action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph,  such indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any fees and  expenses  of counsel  for the  indemnified
parties incurred  thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.  5(d)
Contribution.  In  order to  provide  for just  and  equitable  contribution  in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 5 is
for any reason held to be unenforceable  although  applicable in accordance with
its terms, the Company and the selling Holders shall contribute to the aggregate
losses, liabilities,  claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by
such indemnity  agreement  incurred by the Company and the selling  Holders,  in
such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of and benefits
to the  Company  on the one hand and the  selling  Holders on the other (in such
proportions that the selling Holders are severally, not jointly, responsible for
the balance),  in connection  with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities  or expenses,  as well as any other
relevant  equitable  considerations.  The relative  benefits to the indemnifying
party and  indemnified  parties shall be determined by reference to, among other
things,  the total proceeds  received by the  indemnified  party and indemnified
parties in connection with the offering to which such losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities or expenses relate. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and
indemnified  parties  shall be  determined  by reference to, among other things,
whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
been made by, or relates to information  supplied by, such indemnifying party or
the indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,  access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

                  The  parties  hereto  agree  that  it  would  not be  just  or
equitable if  contribution  pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of  the  equitable  considerations  referred  to in  the  immediately  preceding
paragraph.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of this Section  5(d),  no selling
Holder  shall be  required to  contribute  any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such selling Holder
were offered to the public  exceeds the amount of any damages which such selling
Holder  would  otherwise  have been  required  to pay by  reason of such  untrue
statement or omission.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the  Securities  Act)
shall be  entitled  to  contribution  from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5(d), each Person, if
any,  who controls a Holder  within the meaning of Section 15 of the  Securities
Act and  directors  and  officers  of a Holder  shall  have the same  rights  to
contribution as such Holder,  and each director of the Company,  each officer of

                          AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT


         THIS  AMENDMENT  TO CREDIT  AGREEMENT  (this  "Agreement")  is made and
entered into as of the 10th day of July,  1998,  among  COLONIAL  REALTY LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP,   a  Delaware  limited   partnership  (the  "Borrower"),   COLONIAL
PROPERTIES TRUST, an Alabama trust ("CPT"), COLONIAL PROPERTIES HOLDING COMPANY,
INC., an Alabama corporation  ("CPHC";  CPHC and CPT are collectively,  known as
the "Guarantors"),  SOUTHTRUST BANK,  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION,  a national banking
association,  AMSOUTH BANK, a state banking corporation,  WACHOVIA BANK, N.A., a
national banking association,  FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE, N.A., a national
banking association,  WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking
association and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,  a national banking association,
successor by merger to PNC Bank, Ohio, National Association  (collectively,  the
"Banks").


                                R E C I T A L S:

         A. Borrower, Guarantors and Banks have entered into that certain Credit
Agreement  dated  July  10,  1997  (as  so  amended,  the  "Credit  Agreement").
Capitalized  terms  used  herein  without  definition  shall  have the  meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

         B. Borrower,  Guarantors and Banks desire to amend the Credit Agreement
to increase the Aggregate Commitment from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000.


                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the foregoing  recitals and other
good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Article 1 of the Credit  Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
definitions of "Agent Fee", "Aggregate Commitment",  "Commitment Fee", "Facility
Fee",  "Maximum  Borrowing  Base",   "Pool",   "Pool  GAV",  "Revolver  Period",
"Stabilized Properties", and "Total Liabilities" , and by inserting in lieu
thereof the following definitions:

                  "Agent Fee" means $50,000.

                  "Aggregate  Commitment"  means  $250,000,000  subject to being
decreased as set forth in Section 2.8.

                  "Commitment  Fee" means a commitment fee equal to fifteen (15)
basis points of the Aggregate  Commitment.  Such commitment fee shall be paid to
Lenders based upon their pro rata share of the Loans.


<PAGE>


                 "Facility  Fee" means a facility  fee equal to eight (8) basis
         points  per annum of each  Lender's  average  unfunded  portion of such
         Lender's  Commitment,  payable  monthly in  arrears.  For  purposes  of
         calculating  the  unfunded  portion  of a Lender's  Commitment  for any
         month, such Lender's Commitment  Percentage of any unexpired Letters of
         Credit  and any  Competitive  Bid  Loans  made by such  Lender  will be
         considered  outstanding  loans.  Such Competitive Bid Loans will not be
         considered  outstanding  loans for purposes of  computing  the unfunded
         portion of any other Lender's  Commitment.  Attached hereto as Schedule
         1.2 is an example of the method of calculating the Facility Fee.

                  "Maximum Borrowing Base" means the difference between (i) Pool
         GAV divided by 1.70,  and (ii)  Unsecured  Liabilities  (excluding  the
         outstanding  principal  balance  of the  Loans  and  the  Reimbursement
         Obligation),  all as  more  particularly  set  forth  on Line 14 of the
         Compliance Certificate

                  "Pool" shall mean the Credit Parties'  unencumbered asset pool
         which shall consist of (i) cash from a 1031 exchange, (ii) cash or cash
         equivalents  held  by the  Credit  Parties  for  the  sole  purpose  of
         liquidating  or retiring  unsecured  Debt,  and (iii) all Properties of
         Credit  Parties  which  meet  all  of  the  following  criteria:  (a) a
         certificate  of occupancy  has been issued for the Property and remains
         in full force and  effect,  (b) the  Property  has been at least  fifty
         percent (50%) leased (based on actual  leasable  square  footage at the
         Property)  for the most  immediately  preceding  three (3)  consecutive
         months  based on leases  wherein  the  tenants  are paying at least the
         average monthly lease payments required by the terms of such leases and
         such  leases are free from  default by either  the  landlord  or tenant
         thereunder,  (c) there is no Lien on the  Property,  and (d) the Credit
         Parties have provided Agent with a Phase I environmental report for the
         Property in form and content acceptable to Lenders. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the amount of Non-Stabilized Properties included in the Pool
         shall  not  exceed   twenty-five   percent  (25%)  of  Pool  GAV.  (Any
         Non-Stabilized  Property  included in the Pool will be removed from the
         Pool if such  Property  fails to meet the  definition  of a "Stabilized
         Property"  within nine (9) months from the date such  Property is first
         included in the Pool.)

                  "Pool GAV" shall mean the sum of (without redundancy) (i) 100%
         of  Pool  EBITDA  from  Stabilized   Properties,   capitalized  at  the
         appropriate  Capitalization Rate, (ii) for each Non-Stabilized Property
         in the  Pool,  the  lesser  of  (a)  75% of the  Gross  Book  Value  of
         Non-Stabilized   Properties   in  the  Pool,  or  (b)  Pool  EBITDA  of
         Non-Stabilized Properties capitalized at the appropriate Capitalization
         Rate,  and  (iii)  cash  from a 1031  exchange,  and (iv)  cash or cash
         equivalents  held  by the  credit  parties  for  the  sole  purpose  of
         liquidating or retiring unsecured debt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         any Properties  acquired  during the applicable  reporting  period that
         qualify for Pool shall be valued at Gross Book Value.



<PAGE>


                  "Revolver  Period"  means the period of time from the  Closing
         Date until July 10, 2000, unless extended by Lenders in accordance with
         Section 2.8. hereof.

                  "Stabilized  Properties"  shall mean any Property  which meets
         all of the following criteria:  (i) a certificate of occupancy has been
         issued for the Property and remains in full force and effect,  (ii) the
         Property has been at least eighty-five percent (85%) occupancy level if
         multifamily, retail, or office (based on actual leasable square footage
         at  the  property)  for  the  most  immediately   preceding  three  (3)
         consecutive  months  based on leases  wherein the tenants are paying at
         least the average monthly lease payments  required by the terms of such
         leases and such leases are free from  default by either the landlord or
         tenant thereunder, and (iii) there is no Lien on the Property. However,
         if a  historically  Stabilized  Property  drops below the above  listed
         occupancy threshold level, such Property may again become classified as
         a Stabilized  Property after attaining a ninety percent (90%) occupancy
         level for a monthly  reporting  period if such  Property  attains  such
         ninety percent (90%)  occupancy level within three months of previously
         being classified as a Stabilized Property.

                  "Total  Liabilities"  shall  mean  (without  redundancy),  all
         mortgage debt,  letters of credit, the deferred purchase price pursuant
         to  purchase  agreements  or  contracts,  to the extent  such  deferred
         purchase  price is required to be  included  in  accordance  with GAAP,
         forward equity  commitments  (however,  such  commitments  shall not be
         considered debt if such  commitments are required to be replaced dollar
         for dollar with equity),  pre-purchase  deals (including all assets and
         liabilities of such pre-purchase deals),  unsecured debt,  subordinated
         debt, payables,  accrued expenses,  lease obligations (including ground
         leases), guarantees of indebtedness and unfunded obligations,  pro rata
         share of non-recourse debt in an  Unconsolidated  Subsidiaries or joint
         ventures  (where the pro rata share of the asset has been included) and
         any loan  where any of the  Credit  Parties  are  liable  for debt as a
         general partner,  and one hundred percent (100%) of recourse debt in an
         Unconsolidated  Subsidiaries or joint ventures, and one hundred percent
         (100%) of recourse debt incurred by any of the Credit Parties.

         2. Article 1 of the Credit  Agreement  is hereby  amended by adding the
following definitions:

                  "Increase  Commitment Fee" means a one-time commitment fee for
         the  $50,000,000  increase,  which is due and payable upon execution of
         this Agreement and will be calculated by multiplying  $75,000 (15 basis
         of the $50,000,000  increase) by a fraction,  the numerator of which is
         the  number of days from  execution  of this  Agreement  until July 10,
         1998, and the denominator of which is 365. Such increase commitment fee
         shall be paid to Lenders based upon their pro rata share of the Loans.



<PAGE>


                  "Up-Front Fee" means a one-time  up-front  commitment equal to
         15 basis points of the $50,000,000 increase. Such up-front fee shall be
         paid to Lenders based upon their pro rata share of the Loans.


         3. Section  2.4(a) of the Credit  Agreement  shall be amended to delete
the  indented  information  in its entirety and by inserting in lieu thereof the
following:

Published Debt Rating                                                 Margin
- ---------------------                                                 ------
 Less than BBB-/Baa3 or unrated by a Qualified Rating Agency           135
 Equal to BBB-/Baa3                                                     95
 Equal to or greater than BBB/Baa2                                      80

         4. Section 2.6 of the Credit  Agreement  shall be amended to delete the
first sentence of the section and insert in lieu thereof the following:

                  "The  Borrower  shall  pay  the  Up-Front  Fee,  the  Increase
         Commitment  Fee,  and the  Commitment  Fee to  Agent,  for  account  of
         Lenders,  on the Closing Date of the Amendment to the Credit  Agreement
         and shall pay the Commitment Fee to Agent,  for account of Lenders,  on
         each anniversary of the Closing Date."

         5.  Section  2.8(b) of the  Credit  Agreement  shall be  deleted in its
 entirety, and the following inserted in its place:

                  (b)      If Lenders elect not to extend the Revolver Period,

                                    (i) by the day  that  is  three  (3)  months

<PAGE>


                           (a) Borrower has (i) begun  analyzing the  operations
                  of Borrower and its  subsidiaries and affiliates that could be
                  adversely  affected by failure to become  Year 2000  compliant
                  (that is, that computer applications,  imbedded microchips and
                  other systems will be able to perform date-sensitive functions
                  prior to and after  December 31, 1999) and;  (ii)  developed a
                  plan for  becoming  Year 2000  compliant  in a timely  manner,
                  implementation  of  which  is  on  schedule  in  all  material
                  respects.  Borrower  reasonably  believes  that it will become
                  Year  2000  compliant  for its  operations  and  those  of its
                  subsidiaries  and  affiliates  on a timely basis except to the
                  extent  that  a  failure  to do so  could  not  reasonably  be
                  expected to have a material  adverse effect upon the financial
                  condition of Borrower.

                           (b)  Borrower  will  promptly  notify  Lenders in the
                  event Borrower determines that any computer  application which
                  is material to the operations of Borrower, its subsidiaries or
                  any of its  material  vendors or  suppliers  will not be fully
                  Year 2000  compliant on a timely  basis,  except to the extent
                  that such failure  could not  reasonably be expected to have a
                  material  adverse  effect  upon  the  financial  condition  of
                  Borrower.

         8.       Section  7.8 shall be  amended  to delete  subsection  (g) and
                  insert in lieu thereof the following:

         9. Section 7.8 shall be amended to add the following:

                (h)        the  ratio of total  preferred  stock of CPT to Total
                           Market   Capitalization  to  exceed  fifteen  percent
                           (15%).

         10. The Credit  Agreement is hereby further  amended by deleting in its
entirety  Schedule  1.1 and  inserting  in lieu  thereof  Schedule  1.1 attached
hereto.

         11. The Credit  Agreement is hereby further  amended by deleting in its
entirety Exhibit E and inserting in lieu thereof Exhibit E attached hereto.

         12.  Borrowers  represent  and  warrant  that all  representations  and
warranties set forth in Article 5 of the Credit  Agreement,  as amended  hereby,
are  true  and  correct  on the  date  hereof,  and  that,  to the best of their
knowledge, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists.

         13. No right of any Bank with respect to the Loan  Documents is or will
be in  any  manner  released,  destroyed,  diminished,  or  otherwise  adversely
affected by this Agreement.

         14. All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit  Agreement shall
be deemed to refer,  from and after the date hereof,  to the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby, and as the same may hereafter be modified or amended.

         15.  Except  as hereby  expressly  modified  and  amended,  the  Credit
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect,  and the Credit  Agreement,  as
amended,  is hereby  ratified and affirmed in all  respects.  Borrowers  confirm
that,  to the best of their  knowledge,  they have no defenses  or setoffs  with
respect  to their  obligations  pursuant  to the  Credit  Agreement,  as amended
hereby.

         16. This  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of and be binding  upon
the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.

         17. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,  each
of which shall be deemed an  original,  but all of which,  when taken  together,
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         18. TO THE EXTENT  PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,  BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE
ANY  RIGHT  ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO  TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY  CLAIM,  COUNTERCLAIM,
SETOFF,  DEMAND,  ACTION OR CAUSE OF  ACTION  (I)  ARISING  OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY
PERTAINING OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN  DOCUMENTS,  OR (II) IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED  WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF
THE PARTIES  HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS  AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN  DOCUMENTS OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS  RELATED THERETO OR CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE
EXERCISE  OF  EITHER  PARTY'S  RIGHTS  AND  REMEDIES  THEREUNDER,  IN ALL OF THE
FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING,  AND WHETHER SOUNDING
IN CONTRACT,  TORT OR OTHERWISE.  BORROWERS  AGREE THAT BANKS MAY FILE A COPY OF
THIS WAIVER WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN  EVIDENCE OF THE  KNOWING,  VOLUNTARY  AND
BARGAINED  AGREEMENT OF BORROWERS  IRREVOCABLY  TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY,  AND THAT,  TO THE EXTENT  PERMITTED  BY  APPLICABLE  LAW,  ANY DISPUTE OR
CONTROVERSY  WHATSOEVER  BETWEEN BORROWERS AND BANKS SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A
COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
