                     Agreement Re: Warrants and Directorship
                     ---------------------------------------

This  Agreement  dated as of March 12,  1997,  is executed by and between  Third
Capital, LLC ("Third Capital") and Richard M. Osborne ("Osborne").

Now therefore,  in consideration of good and valuable  consideration the receipt
and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Osborne  agrees  that,  within 10 days after the  purchase by Osborne or his
affiliates of 500,000 shares of the common stock of Pacific Gateway  Properties,
Inc.  ("PGP"),  Osborne  shall  execute and  deliver to Third  Capital a warrant
agreement  (the  "Warrant")  to  purchase  100,000  shares of PGP  common  stock
substantially in the same form as the attached warrant  agreement.  Such Warrant
shall  be  executed  and  delivered  by  Osborne  or any  affiliate  capable  of
performing all of the obligations specified therein.

2.  Additionally,  Osborne  agrees  that,  within  10  days  of  Osborne  or his
affiliates obtaining 'control' of PGP (as herein defined), Osborne shall execute
and deliver to Third Capital a warrant  agreement (the "Warrant") to purchase an
additional 100,000 shares of PGP common stock  substantially in the same form as
the attached warrant agreement.  Such Warrant shall be executed and delivered by
Osborne or any affiliate capable of performing all of the obligations  specified
therein.

3.  For purposes of this  agreement,  Osborne  shall be deemed to have  obtained
'control' of PGP upon the occurrence of ANY of the following events:

      (a)  Osborne,  either  directly or  indirectly  through one or more of his
affiliated entities, owns or controls 50% of the outstanding voting interests in
PGP; or

      (b)  Osborne,  either  directly or  indirectly  through one or more of his
affiliated  entities,  elects,  nominates,  or otherwise  appoints a majority of
individuals to PGP's Board of Directors; or

      (c) An affiliate of, or an individual selected by, Osborne is appointed by
the Board of Directors of PGP to serve as the PGP's  President,  Chief Executive
Officers, or similar executive capacity; or

      (d)  Osborne is elected or  appointed  as the  Chairman  of the Board of
Directors of PGP; or

      (e) PGP changes the location of its principal  executive  offices from the
State of California  to another state (unless  Osborne can show that such change
of location was not at the request or direction of Osborne).


<PAGE>


4.  This agreement shall evidence our discussion concerning Osborne's desire for
C. L.  Jarratt  to  become  a  Director  of PGP and  shall be an  indication  of
Osborne's  commitment  to use his best  efforts to nominate  C. L.  Jarratt as a
Director in the event Osborne is able to nominate 2 individuals  to the Board of
Directors of PGP and shall indicate Jarratt's willingness to serve as a Director
if so elected.

5.  The  parties  agree  that the  normal  rules  of  construction  interpreting
documents  against the drafter  thereof shall not apply to this agreement  since
both  parties  have  been  represented  by legal  counsel  with  respect  to the
negotiation and drafting of this agreement. Provided, further, the parties agree
that this document shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have executed this agreement as of the
date first above written.

                        PACIFIC GATEWAY PROPERTIES, INC.
                        --------------------------------

FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the Richard M. Osborne Trust (the "Trust") hereby grants to
Third Capital,  LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company  ("Holder") the right
to purchase from the Trust up to One Hundred  Thousand  (100,000)  shares of the
fully   registered   common  stock  (the  "Common  Stock")  of  Pacific  Gateway
Properties,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  which are owned by the Trust,  or  entities
controlled by him, at a price per share of Five and 50/100 Dollars  ($5.50) (the
"Exercise Price").

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:

1.    EXERCISE  PERIOD.  The  Holder  may  exercise,  in whole  or in part,  the
purchase  rights  represented  by this  Warrant  at any time on or before  March
20, 2007.

2.    EXERCISE PROCEDURE.

      2.1 This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when the Trust has
received all of the following items (the "Exercise Time"):

      (a)   a completed Exercise  Agreement,  in the form set forth in Exhibit A
attached  hereto,  executed  by the  person  exercising  all or any  part of the
purchase rights represented by the Warrant (the "Purchaser");

      (b)   this Warrant;

      (c)   if this Warrant is not registered in the name of the  Purchaser,  an
Assignment  or  Assignments  in the form set forth in Exhibit B attached  hereto
evidencing the  assignment of this Warrant to the  Purchaser,  in which case the
Holder shall have  complied  with the  provisions  set forth in Sections 6 and 7
hereof; and

      2.2  Certificates for Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be delivered by the Trust to an escrow agent of the Trust's  choice within

all manner  necessary to transfer  such shares to the  Purchaser.  The Trust and

notice  from  the  escrow  agent,  Purchaser  shall  wire  transfer  immediately
available funds to an account  designated by the escrow agent in an amount equal
to the  product  of the  number of shares  being  purchased  upon such  exercise
multiplied   by  the   Exercise   Price  (the   "Aggregate   Exercise   Price").
Simultaneously  with the receipt of the Aggregate  Exercise  Price by the escrow
agent, escrow agent shall deliver the Common Stock to the Purchaser. Unless this
Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights  represented  hereby have been
exercised,  the Trust  shall  prepare  a new  Warrant,  substantially  identical
hereto,  representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant which have
not expired or been exercised and shall within such five (5) day period, deliver
such new Warrant to the Holder.

      2.3 The Common Stock  transferred  upon  exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been  transferred  to the Purchaser at the Exercise Time, and the
Purchaser  shall be deemed for all  purposes  to have  become the holder of such
Common Stock at the Exercise Time.

      2.4 The transfer of  certificates  for Common Stock upon  exercise of this
Warrant  shall be made without  charge to the Holder or the  Purchaser for costs
incurred by the Trust in  connection  with such  exercise.  Each share of Common
Stock  transferable  upon  exercise of this  Warrant  shall upon  payment of the
Exercise  Price  therefor,  be fully  paid and  nonassessable  and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the transfer thereof.

      2.5 The Trust shall assist and cooperate  with the Holder or any Purchaser
required to make any governmental  filings or obtain any governmental  approvals
prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant.

3.    WARRANT  TRANSFERABILITY.  This  Warrant  and  all  rights  hereunder  are
transferable,  in whole or in part, by either party hereunder, but only upon the
prior  written  consent  of  the  other  party,   which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld. Upon such consent, any transfer of this Warrant, in whole
or in part,  shall be effected  upon  surrender  of this Warrant with a properly
executed assignment (in a form reasonably acceptable to counsel) and issuance of
one or more new  warrants  reflecting  the  appropriate  parties  thereto.  Each
transferee of all or any part of this  Warrant,  by taking and holding the same,
consents to and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Warrant.

4.    WARRANT  EXCHANGEABLE  FOR  DIFFERENT   DENOMINATIONS.   This  Warrant  is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of
the Trust,  for new Warrants of like tenor  representing  in the  aggregate  the
purchase  rights  hereunder,  and each of such new Warrants shall represent such
portion  of such  rights  as is  designated  by the  Holder  at the time of such
surrender.  All  Warrants  representing  portions  of the rights  hereunder  are
referred to herein as the "Warrants".

5.    REPRESENTATIONS  AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRUST. The Trust hereby  represents
and warrants as follows: (i) the Trust has the full power and authority to enter
into and perform this Warrant,  (ii) the Trust is not a party to any contract or
subject  to any legal  restriction  that  would  prevent  or  restrict  complete
fulfillment  by the Trust of all of the terms and  conditions of this Warrant or
compliance  with any of the Trust's  obligations  under it,  (iii) the Trust has
taken all necessary actions to authorize and approve the execution, delivery and
performance of this Warrant,  and (iv) this Warrant  constitutes a legal,  valid
and binding obligation of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance
with its terms.

6.    REPRESENTATIONS  AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER. The Holder understands that the
grant of this  Warrant is  intended  to be exempt  from  registration  under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), by virtue of Sections
3(b) and 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Holder represents and warrants that:

      (a)   Holder has been advised  that this  Warrant has not been  registered
under  the  Securities  Act  and,  therefore,  cannot  be  resold  unless  it is
registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from  registration is
available  and the  certificates  representing  this  Warrant  will be  legended
accordingly. Holder is aware that no market exists for the resale of the Warrant
nor is it anticipated  that a market will develop and that it may be required to
hold the Warrant  indefinitely.  Holder is purchasing the Warrant and the Common
Stock for its own account for  investment  and not with a view to, or for resale
in  connection  with,  the  distribution  thereof,  and  Holder  has no  present
intention of distributing  or reselling the Warrant or the Common Stock.  Holder
represents  and warrants that it has such  knowledge and experience in financial
and business  matters that it is capable of  evaluating  the merits and risks of
such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment.

           Further,  Holder has been  advised  that  certain of the Common Stock
owned by the Trust may not be registered.  In the event such Common Stock is not
registered, the Holder understands that it cannot be resold unless such stock is
registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from  registration is
available  and  the  certificates  representing  the  Common  Stock  transferred
hereunder will be legended accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust
agrees to use its best efforts to transfer to the Holder fully registered Common
Stock which is freely transferable by the Holder. Further, the Trust agrees that
in the event unregistered Common Stock is transferred to the Holder, then Holder
shall have the right to demand that the Trust  immediately  register such Common
Stock in order that such stock shall be freely  transferable;  and,  immediately
upon such demand,  the Trust shall use all  commercially  reasonable  efforts to
cause the Company to register such Common Stock.

           In making the above representation, Holder is aware that it must bear
the economic risk of such investment for a n indefinite period of time since, in
the view of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  the statutory  basis for
exemption  from  registration  under the  Securities Act would not be present if
such present  intention is to hold the Warrant  only for the  long-term  capital
gains period of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  or
for a deferred sale, or for any fixed period in the future.



                                       3

<PAGE>

      (b)   Holder has made a complete and thorough investigation of the affairs
and prospects of the Company  including its public filings to date and has had a
reasonable  opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or
persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning this investment, and all such
questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Holder.

      (c)   Holder  acknowledges  that the Trust is entering into this agreement
in reliance upon the  representations  and  warranties  of the Holder  contained
herein.

      (d)   All of the  equity  owners  of the  Holder  are,  and  each  of them
individually is, an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D.

      (e)   Holder is a duly organized and validly  existing  limited  liability
company validly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Tennessee,
and is  authorized,  qualified and empowered to execute and deliver this Warrant
and perform the obligations hereunder, and to purchase and hold this Warrant.

      (f)   The  execution,  delivery and  performance of this Warrant by Holder
does not and with the lapse of time will not violate or conflict with, or result
in a breach of any term or provision,  or  constitute a default  under  Holder's
governing  instruments and does not and with the lapse of time will not conflict
with,  result  in a breach  of,  give  rise to a right  of  termination  of,  or
accelerate the performance requested by, the terms of any agreement,  indenture,
contract, obligation,  instrument, judgment or decree to which Holder is a party
or by which Holder or any of Holder's assets are bound.

7.    ADJUSTMENT  OF EXERCISE  PRICE/SHARES.  The  Exercise  Price and number of
      shares to be issued upon the exercise of each Warrant  shall be subject to
      adjustment  from time to time upon the  happening of certain  events while
      the Warrants remain outstanding, as follows:

      7.1   MERGER,  SALE OF  ASSETS,  ETC.  If the  Company  at any time  shall
consolidate  with or merge into or sell or convey all or  substantially  all its
assets to any other  corporation,  this Agreement shall thereafter  evidence the
right to purchase  such number and kind of  securities  and  property  have been
issued or  distributed  to the Trust on account of such  consolidation,  merger,
sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to such consolidation,  merger, sale or
conveyance.   The  foregoing  provision  shall  similarly  apply  to  successive
transactions of a similar nature.

      7.2   RECLASSIFICATION,  ETC. If the Company by subdivision,  combination,
reclassification of securities or otherwise,  changes any of the securities then
purchasable  upon the exercise of the rights  contained in this Warrant into the
same or a different  number of securities of any class or classes,  this Warrant
shall  thereafter  evidence  the  right  to  purchase  such  number  and kind of
securities  as have been  issued to the Trust as the result of such  change with
respect to the securities which were subject to the conversion or purchase right
immediately prior to such subdivision,  combination,  reclassification, or other
change.  If shares of Common Stock are  subdivided or combined into a greater or





                                       4

<PAGE>

smaller  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock,  the  Exercise  Price  shall  be
proportionately  reduced  in case of  subdivision  of shares or  proportionately
increased in the case of combination of shares; in both cases by the ratio which
the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding  immediately  after
such  event  bears to the total  number of  shares of Common  Stock  outstanding
immediately prior to such event.

8.    USE OF  ACCOUNTANTS.  The Trust may  retain a firm of  independent  public
accountants of recognized  national  standing to make any  computation  required
under this Warrant,  and a  certificate  signed by such firm shall be conclusive
evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Warrant.

9.    REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trust
(an  affidavit of the Holder shall be  satisfactory)  of the  ownership  and the
loss,  theft,  destruction  or mutilation  of any  certificate  evidencing  this
Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of
an indemnity  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Trust, or in the case of any such
mutilation upon surrender of such certificate,  the Trust shall (at his expense)
execute and deliver in lieu of such  certificate a new  certificate of like kind
representing the same rights  represented by such lost,  stolen,  destroyed,  or
mutilated  certificate  and dated the date of such lost,  stolen,  destroyed  or
mutilated certificate.

10.   REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS.  The Warrants are not subject to redemption by the
Trust.

11.   NOTICES.  Except as  otherwise  expressly  provided  herein,  all  notices
referred  to in  this  Warrant  shall  be in  writing  and  shall  be  delivered
personally, sent by reputable overnight courier service or sent by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and shall be deemed to
have been delivered when so delivered,  sent or three days after being deposited
in the U. S. Mail: (i) to the Trust, at 7001 Center Street,  Mentor,  Ohio 77060
Attention:  Richard M. Osborne,  and (ii) to the Holder,  at 314 Church  Street,
Ninth  Floor,  Nashville,  Tennessee  37210  Attention:  C. L.  Jarratt  (unless
otherwise indicated by the Holder.)

12.   AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions
of this Warrant may be not be amended  without the prior written  consent of the
Trust and all of the Holders of Warrants.

13.   GOVERNING  LAW.  All  questions  concerning  the  construction,  validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by the internal
law of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of  law  provision  or  rule  (whether  of  the  State  of  Ohio  or  any  other
jurisdictions)  that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Ohio.
