(a) Lend Lease has the option to increase its ownership in 10 & 30 South Wacker
    by an additional 25% by December 13, 2001 at the greater of 25% of the fair
    market value at the time of the exercise or $122.5 million.

     After the partial sale of the Office Properties, mortgage debt will be
placed on SunTrust Center and Bank One Center in the amount of approximately
$50.0 and $65.0 million, respectively. The Company's share of the proceeds from
the mortgage debt financing will be approximately $28.8 million prior to payment
of loan fees and costs.

     Prior to the partial sale of these Office Properties to Lend Lease, the
Company consolidated the financial condition and results of operations of the
Office Properties. Upon the sale, the Company will retain an equity interest in
the Office Properties and will share equally in the control of the operations
and major decisions of the Office Properties. Therefore, the Company will
account for its remaining interest in the Office Properties under the equity
method of accounting and will classify its net equity investment as investment
in unconsolidated joint ventures on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and
its interest in the net income as income from investment in unconsolidated joint
ventures in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
