NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE REGISTRANT
 
1.     The results of operations reflect the interim adjustments, all of which
       are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management,
       are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim
       periods.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
       read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
       included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
       December 31, 1994.
 
2.     Securities held for investment are classified as investment securities.
       Because the Company has the ability and management has the intent to hold
       investment securities until maturity, investment securities are stated at
       cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
       Trading account securities are stated at market value.  Investments not
       classified as trading securities nor as investment securities are
       classified as securities available for sale and recorded at fair value.
       Unrealized  gains or losses on securities available for sale are excluded
       from earnings and reported as a net amount after taxes, in a separate
       component of shareholders' equity, until realized.
 
3.     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
       cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities
       purchased under resale agreements, and do not include items with original
       maturities of over 90 days.
 
4.     The Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
       "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and No. 118
       "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition
       and Disclosures" on January 1, 1995.  The impact of the adoption was
       immaterial to the results of operations and financial condition of the
       Company.  Certain loans previously recorded as in-substance foreclosures
       included in other real estate and other assets have been reclassified as
       nonaccrual loans.  At March 31, 1995 the Company had identified impaired
       loans that were carried at a net investment amount of $41.8 million.  An
       allowance for credit losses in the amount of $234 thousand was allocated
       to these loans.  The Company's policy is to record cash receipts received
       on impaired loans first as reductions to principal and then to interest
       income.

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

         City National Corporation (the Corporation) is the holding company for
City National Bank (the Bank).  Because the Bank constitutes substantially all
of the business of the Corporation, references to the Company in this Item 2
reflect the consolidated activities of the Corporation and the Bank.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company recorded consolidated net income of $10.6 million, or $.23
per share, in the first quarter of 1995, compared to net income of $8.7 million,
or $.19 per share, in the first quarter of 1994, and net income of $9.9 million,
or $.21 per share, in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Most of the change between
first quarters resulted from an increase in net interest income in the first
quarter of 1995 of $6.5 million and a decrease in the provision for credit
losses of $3.0 million.  Returns on average assets and on average equity for the
first quarter of 1995 were 1.60% and 12.83%, respectively, compared with 1.23%
and 11.65% in the first quarter of 1994.

         Taxable equivalent net interest income was $39.0 million in the first
quarter of 1995, up 21.0% from the year-ago quarter.  The increase resulted
primarily from the increase in the net interest spread from 4.19% to 5.10%. The
net interest spread improved because the increases in the prime interest rate
during the last twelve months resulted in higher yields on loans, while rates
paid on interest bearing liabilities increased only slightly between quarters.
The net interest margin increased from 5.04% in 1994 to 6.36% in 1995. Due to an
anticipated leveling or decrease in the general interest rate environment during
the remainder of 1995 and a relatively constant level of earning assets,
management does not expect significant increases in quarterly net interest
income for the remainder of 1995 from first quarter 1995 levels.

         Throughout the remainder of 1995 management expects interest earning
assets to increase slightly from the $2.458 billion average level for the first
quarter of 1995.  Average loans increased $47.6 million (3.0%) between the first
quarters of 1995 and 1994 to $1.620 billion primarily due to purchases of
residential first mortgage loans.  Total average taxable investment and
available for sale securities decreased $62.6 million (8.1%) between first
quarters because maturities of securities were used to meet the decrease in
deposits during the last twelve months.  Total deposits decreased $224.8 million
(9.8%) between first quarters.  The Company believes that

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
much of the decrease is due to disintermediation in the general market place
typical of a higher interest rate environment.

         The provision for credit losses was zero for the quarter ended March
31, 1995, compared with $3.0 million for the corresponding quarter in 1994.
Loans charged off in the first quarter of 1995 were $2.9 million, compared to
$8.9 million in the first quarter of 1994. Recoveries were $6.0 million in the
first quarter of 1995, compared to $6.9 million in the first quarter of 1994.
The provision for credit losses is expected to remain at reduced levels in 1995,
compared with those of the recent past, provided a deterioration of economic
conditions does not occur.

         Non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of 
securities and assets,  totaled $8.2 million for the first quarter of 1995, 
down $.8 million (8.5%) from a year earlier.   Service charges on deposit 
accounts decreased $.9 million (33.6%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
customers paid for services with higher earnings on deposit balances as a 
result of increased interest rates.  Investment services income increased $.5 
million (36.0%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 due to higher fees and 
new investment products offered to customers.  Other income in 1994 included a
pre- tax gain of $1.3 million from the sale of two leveraged leases.  All other
income decreased $.2 million (6.4%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, 
because of lower foreign exchange, letter of credit and proof of deposit fees. 
Management does not expect  significant changes in non-interest income from 
first quarter 1995 level during the remaining quarters of 1995.

         Excluding net ORE results, non-interest expense totaled $29.6 million 
in the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $1.0 million (3.3%) from the first
quarter of 1994.  Net occupancy of premises expenses decreased $.6 million
(24.5%) from the first quarter of 1994 due to the impact of the branch
consolidation program completed in the second quarter of 1994.  Salaries and
other employee benefits decreased $.1 million (.8%) for the quarter ended March
31, 1995 from the first quarter of 1994. Higher costs associated with
performance incentives and contributions to the profit sharing plan were largely
offset by a decrease in salary expense due to the branch consolidation program.

         Net ORE results in the first quarter of 1995 were an expense of $.2
million, compared to income of $4.5 million in the prior year, $3.5 million of
which was due to the completion of the Company's Accelerated Asset Disposition
Program.

         The first quarter 1995 effective tax rate increased to 38.6%, compared
to 34.4% for the first quarter of 1994 as California net operating loss
carryforwards were fully utilized in 1994.

</TABLE>

       Gross loans at March 31, 1995 amounted to $1,626 million, up $93 million
(6.0%) from March 31, 1994.  The decrease in commercial loans and real estate
mortgage resulted from loan payoffs in excess of new loans funded.  However,
residential first mortgage loans increased $246.8 million between March 31, 1994
and 1995, primarily as a result of purchases of residential mortgages originated
by third parties.

       The adoption of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan," upon its January 1, 1995, effective date did not have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The reduction in
nonperforming assets levels between March  31, 1994 and 1995 reflects the
Company's commitment to improving credit quality through initial credit review
and approval policies, and aggressive collection efforts when loans become
questionable.

CONSOLIDATION CHARGE RESERVE

       In March 1993, the Bank announced a consolidation plan to improve
efficiency and operational productivity in its branch network.  To cover the
costs associated with this action, the Bank recorded a consolidation charge of
$12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1993.  At March 31, 1995, the balance
remaining in the consolidation reserve was $6.7 million.  The Bank is continuing
to negotiate settlements of lease commitments and believes the reserve balance
at March 31, 1995 is adequate to cover these lease liabilities and the remaining
expenses expected to be incurred as part of the consolidation program.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS

       As of March 31, 1995, the Company had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-
weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 19.32%, a ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets (total risk-based capital ratio) of 20.63%, and
a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted total assets (Tier 1 leverage
ratio) of 12.82%, while the Bank had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
18.22%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.53% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio
of 12.08%.

       The Corporation paid its first dividend of $.05 per share of common stock
in the fourth quarter of 1994 since suspending payment of dividends in August,
1991.  A dividend of $.05 per share for the first quarter of 1995 was paid on
February 16, 1995.  On April 18, 1995, the Board of Directors of City National
Corporation approved an increase in the Company's quarterly common stock
dividend by 40% to $.07 per share payable on May 9, 1995 to shareholders of
record on April 28, 1995.

       On May 3, 1995, the Corporation announced that the Board of Directors has
authorized  the purchase of up to 5%, or 2.28 million shares, of the
Corporation's common stock from time to time in open market transactions.

LIQUIDITY

       The Company's liquidity continues to be strong.  Average core deposits
comprised 83.7% of total funding in the first quarter of 1995, compared to 85.2%
in the first quarter of 1994.

       At March 31, 1995, investment securities maturing within one year
amounted to $125.0 million, and securities available for sale amounted to $101.2
million.  Maturing loans also provide liquidity, and $.7 billion of the Bank's
loans are scheduled to mature in the next twelve months.

       The following table shows that the Company's positive interest rate
sensitivity gap increased slightly from $962.4 million at March 31, 1994 to
$998.9 million at March 31, 1995.  The Company's asset sensitive position in the
period of rising interest rates has had a positive effect on net interest
income. If interest rates decline or interest paid on liabilities increases
faster than rates earned on assets, net interest income could be negatively
impacted.  The Company, through the use of either on balance sheet or off
balance sheet financial instruments, has the ability to manage the risk to net
interest income posed by certain changes in market interest rates.
Consequently, while the interest rate sensitivity gap is a useful measure and
contributes towards effective asset and liability management, it is difficult to
predict the net interest margin based solely on that measure.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                              --------------------

       THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made as of the 21st day of March, 1995 by
                                                   ----        -----     
  and between BRAM GOLDSMITH ("Goldsmith") and CITY NATIONAL BANK, a National
  Bank ("CNB").
       I.   Employment.  CNB hereby employs Goldsmith, and Goldsmith hereby
            ----------                                                     
  accepts employment, under the terms and conditions hereafter set forth.

       II.  Duties.  Goldsmith shall be employed as the Chairman of the Board
            ------                                                           
  and Chief Executive Officer of CNB and his duties shall be consistent with
  such office and position.  Substantially all of Goldsmith's duties shall be
  performed in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, California and unless mutually
  agreed upon by Goldsmith and CNB, Goldsmith shall be headquartered in Beverly
  Hills, California.

       III. Term.  Subject to the provisions for termination as hereinafter
            ----                                                           
  provided, the term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced on May
  15, 1995 and shall terminate three (3) years thereafter.

       IV.  Annual Compensation.  In addition to fringe benefits and
            -------------------                                     
  reimbursement of expenses consistent with Goldsmith's duties and position, CNB
  shall pay Goldsmith as annual compensation, payable in equal semimonthly
  payments, the sum of Five Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($540,000) during the
  term hereof.

       V.   Incentive Bonus.  Goldsmith shall be paid an annual incentive bonus,
            ---------------                                                     
  provided however, that the amount of such incentive bonus for any year in
  terms of a percentage of

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
  Goldsmith's then annual salary shall be no less than the percentage of annual
  salary paid as a bonus to any other member of executive management of CNB.
  For the purpose of determining the amount of bonus to be paid Goldsmith for
  any calendar year, his then annual salary shall be an amount equal to twenty-
  four times the semimonthly salary paid to Goldsmith (exclusive of any
  incentive bonus) for the calendar year in question.

       VI.  Life Insurance.  CNB has provided Goldsmith with a whole life
            --------------                                               
  insurance policy on the joint lives of Goldsmith and Mrs. Elaine Goldsmith in
  an initial insured amount of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000), the premium
  for which was fully paid in 1990.  Such life insurance policy is owned by the
  Goldsmith l980 Life Insurance Trust ("Trust").  Such life insurance policy or
  the proceeds thereof, and possession of the policy and all rights therein,
  including the right to designate the beneficiary, shall be vested completely
  in the Trust; provided however, that CNB shall be entitled to receive from the
  proceeds of such policy a sum equal to the aggregate amount of premiums,
  without interest, paid by CNB on account of such policy pursuant to the terms
  of the Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement, as amended, and attached hereto
  marked Exhibit A.

       VII. Extent of Service.  Goldsmith shall devote his time, attention and
            -----------------                                                 
  energies to the business of CNB and shall not, during the term of this
  Agreement, be engaged in any other activity which will interfere with the
  performance of his duties  hereunder.  Time expended by Goldsmith on
  philanthropic activities and in connection with real estate investments shall
  be

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  deemed not to interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder; provided
  however, that during the term thereof, Goldsmith shall not become an active
  participant (as opposed to a passive investor or consultant) in any real
  estate investment or venture in which he does not presently have a direct or
  indirect interest.

       VIII.      Termination of Employment.
                  ------------------------- 

            A.    Termination by CNB for Good Cause.  CNB may terminate the
                  ---------------------------------                        
  employment of Goldsmith for "good cause" by written notice to Goldsmith.  For
  purposes of this Agreement, "good cause" shall mean only (i) conviction of a
  crime directly related to his employment hereunder, (ii) conviction  of a
  felony involving moral turpitude, (iii) willful and gross mismanagement  of
  the business and affairs of CNB, or (iv) breach of any material provision of
  this Agreement.  In the event the employment of Goldsmith is terminated
  pursuant to this subparagraph 8(a), CNB shall have no further liability to
  Goldsmith other than for compensation accrued but not yet paid.

            In the event CNB contends that it has good cause to terminate
  Goldsmith pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of this subparagraph 8(a), CNB
  shall provide Goldsmith with written notice specifying in reasonable detail
  the services or matters which it contends Goldsmith has not been adequately
  performing, or the material provisions of this Agreement of which Goldsmith is
  in violation, why CNB has good cause to terminate this Agreement, and what
  Goldsmith should do to adequately perform his obligations hereunder.  If
  within thirty (30) days of receipt of

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
  the notice Goldsmith performs the required services or modifies his
  performance to correct the matters complained of, Goldsmith's breach will be
  deemed cured, and Goldsmith's employment shall not be terminated.  However, if
  the nature of the service not performed by Goldsmith or the matters complained
  of are such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to perform
  the required service or to correct the matters complained of, then his breach
  will be deemed cured if he commences to perform such service or to correct
  such matters within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
  prosecutes such performance or correction to completion.  If Goldsmith does
  not perform the required services or modify his performance to correct the
  matter complained of within the thirty (30) day period or the extension
  thereof, CNB shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at the end of
  the thirty (30) day period or extension thereof.  It is understood that
  Goldsmith's performance hereunder shall not be deemed unsatisfactory solely on
  the basis of any economic performance of CNB because this performance will
  depend in part on a variety of factors over which Goldsmith has little
  control.

            B.    Termination by CNB Without Good Cause.  CNB may terminate the
                  -------------------------------------                        
  employment of Goldsmith without "good cause" (as defined in subparagraph 8(a)
  above) at any time by written notice to Goldsmith.  In the event the
  employment of Goldsmith is terminated pursuant to this subparagraph 8(b), CNB
  shall continue to be obligated to pay to and compensate Goldsmith pursuant to
  paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement for the full term of this Agreement.
  Goldsmith shall have no duty to mitigate and CNB

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
  shall have no right to offset any other compensation paid to Goldsmith during
  the applicable time period.

            C.    Termination by Death or Disability.  CNB may  terminate the
                  ----------------------------------                         
  employment of Goldsmith by written notice to Goldsmith if, during the term of
  this Agreement, Goldsmith shall become incapable of fulfilling his obligations
  hereunder because of injury or physical or mental illness which shall exist or
  may reasonably be anticipated to exist for a period of twelve (12) consecutive
  months or for an aggregate of twelve (12) months during any twenty-four (24)
  month period.  The death of Goldsmith  during the term of this Agreement shall
  likewise operate to terminate the Agreement, except that Goldsmith's base
  salary shall continue in effect and be paid to his wife, if she is then
  living, and if she is not then living, to his Revocable Living Trust for a
  period equal to the lesser of two years or the remaining term of this
  Agreement.  In the event the employment of Goldsmith is terminated by CNB
  pursuant to this subparagraph 8(c) because of injury, physical or mental
  illness, CNB shall continue to be obligated to pay Goldsmith while he is alive
  his base salary and Incentive Bonus which Goldsmith would otherwise have been
  entitled to receive pursuant to Paragraph 5 to the same extent and in the same
  manner as if Goldsmith had remained employed by CNB for the full term of this
  Agreement less any amount Goldsmith receives in lieu of salary while he is
  alive during the term of this Agreement from private or government insurance
  programs, exclusive of reimbursement of medical costs.

            D.    Optional Termination by Goldsmith.  Goldsmith may terminate
                  ---------------------------------                          
  this Agreement by written notice to CNB at any time after a change in control
  of CNB should occur.  A change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if
  any "person" (as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
  Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), other than Goldsmith or City National
  Bank, Trustee of the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan of City National Bank
  Employees, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as that term is defined by
  the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
  Securities and Exchange Act of 1934),  directly or indirectly, of securities
  of City National Corporation or its successors representing more than twenty
  percent (20%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of
  City National Corporation, excluding any securities  purchased directly from
  Goldsmith.  In the event the employment of Goldsmith is terminated pursuant to
  the provisions of this subparagraph 8(d), CNB shall continue to be obligated
  to pay to and compensate Goldsmith pursuant to paragraphs 4 and 5 of this
  Agreement for the full term of this Agreement.  Goldsmith shall have no duty
  to mitigate and CNB shall have no right to offset other compensation paid to
  Goldsmith during the applicable time period.  Notwithstanding anything in this
  subparagraph 8(d) to the contrary, in no event shall Goldsmith be paid in any
  year any amount pursuant to this Agreement that constitutes an "excess
  parachute payment" and is not deductible by CNB under Section 280G of the
  Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), or any amendment thereto or any
  subsequently enacted legislation of

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  similar effect, and any amounts payable to Goldsmith pursuant to this
  subparagraph 8(d) shall not exceed a sum equal to the product of 299% times an
  amount equal to Goldsmith's "base amount" as defined in Section 280G of the
  Code for the period consisting of the most recent five taxable years ending
  before the date on which the change of control occurs.

       IX.  Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver.  This Agreement and the
            --------------------------------------                         
  agreements referred to in the Exhibits attached hereto constitute the entire
  agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained
  therein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
  representations and understandings of the parties.  No supplement,
  modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed
  in writing by both parties.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this
  Agreement  shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other
  provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a
  continuing waiver.  No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by
  the party making the waiver.

       X.   Separability Clause.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
            -------------------                                            
  provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any
  other provision hereof.

  INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP, a California general partnership, ("Seller"), and CITY
  NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association, ("Purchaser").

                                  DECLARATIONS

       1.   Description of Property.
            ----------------------- 

       The property to be purchased by Purchaser from Seller is that certain
  real property located at 12515 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, California, as
  more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated
  herein by this reference, hereinafter referred to as the "Property".

            -------------- 

       The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Property shall be Five
  Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000.00), which purchase price shall
  be payable in cash or other immediately available funds.

       3.   Payment of Purchase Price.
            ------------------------- 

       The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller as follows:

            (a) Deposit. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement,
                -------                                                  
  Purchaser shall pay the sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
  ($150,000.00) to Seller outside of escrow, hereinafter referred to as the
  "Deposit".  The Deposit shall be invested in an interest-bearing account with
  any interest accruing thereon to be credited toward the Purchase Price.
  Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with the payment of the Deposit, however,
  Escrow Holder shall credit the Deposit against the Purchase Price at the close
  of escrow.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the subject escrow does not
  close, the Deposit shall be subject to the liquidated damages provisions of
  Paragraph 12 of this Agreement.

            (b) Final Deposit to Escrow.  On or before the close of escrow,
                -----------------------                                    
  Purchaser shall deposit in escrow the entire remaining balance of the Purchase
  Price, plus all amounts due by Purchaser as closing costs pursuant to
  Paragraph 6, and as otherwise required of Purchaser to close this transaction

<PAGE>
 
       4.   Escrow.
            ------ 

       The transaction made the subject of this Agreement shall be consummated
  through an escrow at Stewart Title, 505 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 1200,
  Glendale, California  91203, which shall act as "Escrow Holder".  Within three
  (3) days after the date of execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and
  Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall each deliver one (1) duly executed
  counterpart of this Agreement to Escrow Holder with instructions that Escrow
  Holder shall open the subject escrow.  Escrow shall be deemed to be opened on
  that date on which Escrow Holder first holds a fully-executed copy (or
  counterparts) of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall constitute escrow
  instructions for Escrow Holder.  Escrow Holder may, but shall not be obligated
  to, prepare such additional or supplemental instructions as it deems
  appropriate, including, but not limited to, provisions for its own benefit and
  protection, and which Purchaser and Seller shall be obligated to execute, but
  in no event shall any such instructions contradict or amend the terms of this
  Agreement which shall govern and prevail.  The close of escrow shall mean the
  date when the grant deed is recorded conveying the Property from Seller to
  Purchaser as provided herein, and the close of escrow shall occur thirty (30)
  days from the date hereof, or earlier, upon the mutual written agreement of
  Purchaser and Seller (hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date").

  title to the Property.  Escrow Holder shall obtain and deliver to Purchaser
  and Seller, at Seller's expense, a preliminary title report, (hereinafter
  referred to as the "Preliminary Title Report"), dated not earlier than the
  opening of escrow, from Stewart Title, (hereinafter referred to as the "Title
  Company"), describing the Property, together with full copies of all documents
  referred to in such Preliminary Title Report.  Within ten (10) business days
  following receipt of the Preliminary Title Report, including copies of all
  documents referred to therein, Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller
  (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice of Defect") specifying the matters
  shown therein, if any, which are reasonably disapproved by Purchaser (each
  such matter referred to herein as a "Disapproved Exception").  The failure of
  Purchaser to give written notice of approval or disapproval of the Preliminary
  Title Report or of any matter or matters shown therein within the ten (10) day
  period of time provided therefore shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser's
  approval of the Preliminary Title Report and of each of the matters shown
  therein.  If any Disapproved Exception cannot be cured prior to the close of
  escrow, Purchaser shall have the election of (i) terminating the escrow or
  (ii) accepting the Property subject to any such matter(s).   If Purchaser so
  elects to terminate the escrow, this Agreement shall be considered null and
  void and Purchaser's Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, without offset

  or deduction, except that Purchaser shall pay the cancellation charges
  required to be paid to the Escrow Holder and Title Company and such amount may
  be deducted from the Deposit.  A Disapproved Exception specified in the Notice
  of Defect shall be considered to have been cured if such defect shall be
  removed from the record of the title of the Property or the Title Company
  shall agree to issue its title insurance policy without the matter being
  reflected as an exception therein.

            (b) Title Policy.  The Title Company must commit to issue, at the
                ------------

  the Property in the name of Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price,
  without deletions or exceptions other than current and non-delinquent taxes
  and assessments, and those other items which have been approved or deemed
  approved by Purchaser pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5
  (although it is understood that the title insurance policy will be delivered
  after the close of escrow.)

       6.   Costs and Prorations.

            (a) Costs.  Seller and Purchaser shall each pay their own attorneys'

       13.  Tax Deferred Exchange.
            --------------------- 

       Purchaser shall accommodate Seller in a tax-deferred IRC Section 1031
  exchange, provided that said exchange is at no cost (and no liability) to
  Purchaser.

       Instead of the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser, Seller shall
  have the right (a) to locate one or more parcels of other real property for
  the purpose of effecting a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the
  Internal Revenue Code of the Property, and (b) to arrange for the terms of the
  acquisition of such other real property from the owner(s) thereof.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
       If Seller does locate such other real property or enters into an exchange
  agreement with the owner(s) thereof or other third parties and notifies
  Purchaser in writing of the same, then, at Seller's option:

            (a)  Purchaser shall enter into one or more written contracts with
  the owner(s) of such other real property to purchase the same and to transfer
  the ownership thereof to Seller in consideration of, and concurrent with, the
  transfer of the Property to Purchaser; or

            (b)  Purchaser shall enter into one or more exchange agreements with
  the owner(s) of such other real property or other third parties and, on the
  acquisition of that other real property, or as otherwise therein provided,
  those parties shall transfer the ownership of the Property to Purchaser in
  accordance with the terms and provisions of sale set forth in this Agreement.
  Purchaser agrees to accept title to the Property from such owner(s) or other
  third parties.

       In no event shall Purchaser be required to make a total payment for the
  exchange property, including all costs and expenses of Purchaser with respect
  thereto, in excess of the payment that would otherwise have been made by
  Purchaser hereunder had Purchaser completed the purchase of the Property from
  Seller without participating in an exchange.

       Purchaser shall make a good faith diligent effort to acquire the exchange
  property (the "Exchange Property") when Seller has located it and negotiated
  its purchase and prepared all necessary documents, or to accept title to the
  Property from the owner(s) of the exchange real property or other third
  party(ies).

       Seller shall be required to sell the Property to Purchaser and Purchaser
  shall be required to purchase the Property from Seller for the price and upon
  the terms set forth in this Agreement only if Seller is unable to locate
  exchange property and Purchaser is unable to acquire it, or Seller is unable
  to make arrangements for title to the Property to be transferred to Purchaser
  through a third party, within the time period provided for in this Agreement
  for the Close of Escrow as set forth above.  If through no fault or lack of
  performance by Purchaser the intended exchange is not completed on or before
  the final close of escrow otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller
  agrees to transfer title to the Property to Purchaser on that date under the
  terms and provisions of sale otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

       Purchaser shall execute such instruments and documents and take such
  actions as may be deemed reasonably necessary to effect the exchange
  transactions contemplated hereby.  In the event of an exchange being made
