ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
  Security Capital Pacific Trust (New York Stock Exchange Symbol: "PTR") is an
equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") which was formed in 1963. PTR's
objective is to be the preeminent real estate operating company focusing on
multifamily communities in its western United States target market. Through
its REIT Management Agreement with Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the
"REIT Manager" or "REIT Management"), PTR has access to the extensive services
provided by the REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates, which
provides PTR with access to the same resources as a fully integrated operating
company. The REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates have 129
professionals dedicated to implementing PTR's highly focused operating and
investment strategy.
 
  PTR believes its investment discipline is unique because it is based on
state-of-the-art research capabilities provided by Security Capital Investment
Research Incorporated ("Security Capital Investment Research"), an affiliate
of the REIT Manager. Security Capital Investment Research employs six full-
time professionals focused on producing the best available research on the 289
submarkets in PTR's target market. Using its resources to identify superior
growth opportunities, PTR focuses on the strategic development, acquisition
and operation of multifamily communities. At January 31, 1997, PTR owned and
operated or was developing 51,287 multifamily units with a total expected
investment of $2.5 billion. In addition, as of the same date, PTR had land in
planning and under control (as defined below) for the development of 3,507
units with a total budgeted development cost of $264.5 million. PTR's recent
investment activity has been focused primarily on key metropolitan areas in
California, the Pacific Northwest and Salt Lake City, which PTR feels will
produce strong cash flow growth over the long term. As of January 31, 1997,
PTR's properties were located in 23 metropolitan areas in 12 states. See "Item
2. Properties."
 
  The term "multifamily" as used herein refers to garden-style communities and
excludes Homestead Village(R) extended-stay lodging assets, which were
contributed to a new publicly traded company, Homestead Village Incorporated
("Homestead"), on October 17, 1996, in exchange for Homestead common stock.
See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Homestead
Transaction."
 
  PTR seeks to achieve long-term sustainable growth in cash flow by maximizing
the operating performance of its core portfolio through value-added operating
systems and concentrating its highly experienced team of professionals on
developing and acquiring industry-leading product in targeted submarkets
identified by proprietary research as exhibiting strong job growth and
favorable demographic trends. PTR believes that population and employment
growth are the primary demand generators for multifamily product. Based on
forecasts published by Woods & Poole Economics, Inc., the projected population
growth in PTR's primary target market cities is 28.8% for the years 1997
through 2016, whereas the projected population growth of the United States as
a whole for the same period is 16.8%. For the same period, job growth is
projected to be 28.4% in PTR's primary target market cities, compared to 20.8%
for the United States as a whole.
 
  PTR's investment strategy is focused on three principal components: (1) the
development of state-of-the-art new communities targeted primarily at one of
the largest segments of the renter market, moderate income households; (2) the
acquisition of multifamily communities exhibiting high cash flow growth
potential or attractive redevelopment opportunities; and (3) the execution of
its asset optimization strategy, which involves the disposition of properties
which no longer meet PTR's investment objectives and the redeployment of the
proceeds, typically on a tax-deferred basis, into assets that in PTR's view
offer better long-term cash flow growth prospects.

  The table below illustrates the growth in PTR's multifamily portfolio, based
on total expected investment, resulting from the execution of this investment
strategy since 1991 (the REIT Manager was retained in March 1991):

    than 2% of assets, based on cost.
(2) Net of any dispositions.
(3) The term "in planning" means that construction is anticipated to commence

    right (through contingent contract or letter of intent) during a
    contractually agreed-upon time period to acquire land for future
    development of multifamily communities, subject to approval of
    contingencies during the due diligence process, but does not currently own
    the land.
 
  Highlights of PTR's strategic accomplishments since the beginning of 1996
include:
 
  . PTR's strong growth in 1996 was driven primarily by the successful
    implementation of its investment strategy, with development activity
    generating 47% of the growth in pro forma funds from operations and
    acquisition activity generating 42%. The remaining 11% of growth in pro
    forma funds from operations was produced by an increase in net operating
    income for PTR's same-store multifamily portfolio, which achieved net
    operating income growth of 3.31% compared with 1995. See "Item 7.
    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
    of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Funds from Operations."
 
  . On October 17, 1996, PTR contributed its Homestead Village(R) properties
    to a newly formed company, Homestead, in exchange for Homestead common
    stock and entered into a funding commitment agreement to fund the
    development of certain of such properties in exchange for warrants to
    purchase Homestead common stock. The Homestead common stock and warrants
    were subsequently distributed to PTR's common shareholders. On a fully
    funded and converted basis, PTR will own 34.7% of Homestead's common
    stock (assuming no further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of
    all Homestead convertible mortgage notes by PTR and Security Capital
    Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") and exercise of all outstanding
    warrants) as a result of its obligation to fund up to $198.8 million to
    Homestead in exchange for up to $221.3 million of Homestead convertible
    mortgage notes (the "Homestead Notes"). The Homestead Notes are expected
    to contribute significantly to PTR's future growth. The Homestead common
    stock and warrants trade on the American Stock Exchange (the "ASE") under
    the symbols "HSD" and "HSD.W," respectively. See "Item 7. Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Homestead Transaction."
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  . During 1996, the price of PTR's common shares of beneficial interest, par
    value $1.00 per share ("Common Shares"), increased from $19.750 to
    $22.875 (based on the closing prices on the New York Stock Exchange (the
    "NYSE") on December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively). In addition,
    shareholders received total cash distributions of $1.24 per Common Share
    in 1996 and a special distribution of 0.125694 shares of Homestead common
    stock and warrants to purchase 0.084326 shares of Homestead common stock
    per PTR Common Share (the "Homestead Distribution"). The securities
    distributed in the Homestead Distribution had a market value of $3.032
    per PTR Common Share, based on the closing prices of such securities on
    the ASE on November 11, 1996, the day prior to the distribution date. See
    "Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related
    Stockholder Matters."
 
  . The development of moderate income multifamily communities is an
    important component of PTR's long-term growth strategy. In 1996, PTR
    commenced construction on 3,875 multifamily units, representing a total
    expected investment of approximately $262.5 million. Of that total, 2,763
    units, or 71.3%, were moderate income. At January 31, 1997, PTR had 5,479
    units under construction, representing a total expected investment of
    $348.3 million. During 1996, 12 communities representing a total expected
    investment of $186.4 million achieved stabilization (defined below),
    adding 3,456 units to PTR's stabilized portfolio.
 
  . PTR continues to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities
    throughout its target market with a current focus on California, the
    Pacific Northwest and Salt Lake City. PTR has targeted certain submarkets
    in these areas because it believes that the market fundamentals together
    with the high barriers to entry for new supply will provide for
    significant growth in rental income and cash flow. During 1996, PTR
    completed the acquisition of 5,265 operating units in California,
    representing a total expected investment of $365.3 million. As of January
    31, 1997, PTR had a total expected investment of $503.0 million in
    operating communities in California, of which 50.7% is in Northern
    California and 49.3% is in Southern California.
 
  . During 1996, PTR demonstrated its ability to dispose of existing assets
    and efficiently redeploy the proceeds into multifamily investments with
    more attractive long-term growth prospects. The success of this asset
    optimization strategy was evidenced by the disposition of 6,303
    multifamily units and one industrial building, realizing an aggregate
    gain of $37.5 million on aggregate net proceeds of $291.1 million, which
    were redeployed, primarily through tax-deferred exchanges, into strategic
    acquisitions in targeted western submarkets.
 
  . PTR continues to focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet. This
    objective is accomplished in part by PTR's issuance of unsecured long-
    term debt that, in the aggregate, has a relatively level amortization
    schedule which PTR believes is unusual among multifamily REITs. As of
    December 31, 1996, PTR's $580 million in long-term unsecured debt had an
    effective average fixed interest rate of 7.62% and an original weighted-
    average life to maturity of 12.0 years. PTR's long-term debt as a
    percentage of total long-term undepreciated book capitalization (the sum
    of long-term debt and shareholders' equity after adding back accumulated
    depreciation) was 36.9% at December 31, 1996.
 
  In addition to the 1996 highlights summarized above, through its relationship
with the REIT Manager, PTR has accomplished the following from the end of 1990
(the REIT Manager was retained in March 1991), through December 31, 1996.
 
  .  As a result of PTR's strategic investment program, PTR's total
    multifamily assets increased from $23.1 million as of December 31, 1990
    to $2.5 billion as of December 31, 1996, based on total expected
    investment.
 
  . PTR's total equity market capitalization increased from $35.5 million as
    of December 31, 1990 to $2.0 billion as of December 31, 1996. See "--
    PTR's Operating System and Business Strategy--Capital Markets/Finance and
    Conservative Balance Sheet Strategy" for a summary of PTR's capital
    raising activities.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
  . Net earnings attributable to Common Shares have increased from $2.1
    million for 1990 to $106.5 million for 1996 and the per share amount of
    net earnings attributable to Common Shares has increased from $0.41 to
    $1.46, an average annual increase of 42.7%, for the same period.
 
  . In order to achieve a higher level of customer service and superior
    property operating performance, SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG
    Realty Services"), the REIT Manager's property management affiliate, was
    retained to replace third-party fee management firms as the property
    manager for most of PTR's multifamily communities. As of January 31,
    1997, SCG Realty Services managed 91.3% of PTR's operating communities
    based on total expected investment.
 
  . PTR consummated a merger with Security Capital Pacific Incorporated
    ("PACIFIC") on March 23, 1995. PACIFIC was a private real estate
    investment trust controlled by Security Capital Group Incorporated
    ("Security Capital Group"), PTR's principal shareholder. The merger
    expanded PTR's target market to include a six-state region of the western
    United States that the REIT Manager believes has attractive growth
    prospects. Concurrent with the merger, PTR changed its name from Property
    Trust of America to Security Capital Pacific Trust to more accurately
    reflect its target market.
 
  PTR has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and was
organized in 1963 as a real estate investment trust under the laws of Maryland.
Its principal executive offices are located at 7777 Market Center Avenue, El
Paso, Texas 79912, and its telephone number is (915) 877-3900. Security Capital
Group, the sole owner of the REIT Manager, owned 36.0% of PTR's Common Shares
as of March 10, 1997.
 
  PTR recently announced that it received a proposal from Security Capital
Group to exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares.
As a result of the proposed transaction, PTR would become an internally managed
REIT and Security Capital Group would remain PTR's largest shareholder. PTR's
Board of Trustees (the "Board") has formed a special committee comprised of
independent Trustees to review the proposed transaction. The proposed
transaction is subject to approval by the special committee and the full Board.
If the Board approves the transaction, a proxy statement, subject to review by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common
shareholders prior to a shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.
 
PTR'S OPERATING SYSTEM AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates have 129
professionals dedicated to implementing PTR's highly focused, fully integrated
business strategy using PTR's "Operating System." PTR's Operating System
consists of seven functional areas: fundamental real estate research,
opportunistic acquisitions, multifamily developments, comprehensive due
diligence and investment analysis, asset optimization, customer-focused
property management and an efficient capital markets/finance function. By
focusing on a single discipline, professionals within each of these areas
develop substantial expertise commensurate with their respective skills and
responsibilities. All of these functional areas are integrated by senior
management but the REIT Manager believes that the focus on separate disciplines
by key personnel improves PTR's overall results. PTR utilizes the extensive
capabilities of its Operating System to execute its business strategy in order
to achieve PTR's primary objective of generating long-term, sustainable growth
in per share cash flow.
 
 Commitment to Fundamental Real Estate Research
 
  PTR is dedicated to a continuing investment in leading edge research and
development for markets, products and new business opportunities. PTR utilizes
Security Capital Investment Research, an affiliate of the REIT Manager, to
conduct comprehensive evaluations of its target market on a submarket-by-
submarket basis to identify those submarkets that offer strong prospects for
long-term cash flow growth. These evaluations, combined with PTR's extensive
market experience throughout its target market, enable PTR to identify
submarkets that will offer attractive growth opportunities.

  For each submarket, PTR's research evaluates 24 key variables that PTR has
identified as having the greatest impact on multifamily operating performance.
This research provides PTR with the information needed to target specific
resident profiles and identify the unit mix, density and amenities for each
community which will provide the greatest opportunity for consistent rental
increases and high occupancies. The REIT Manager and its affiliates also
evaluate and continually refine PTR's multifamily product to incorporate
technologies and designs that will enhance long-term resident satisfaction.
 
  In addition to dedicated market research and continuous refinement of the
traditional multifamily product, considerable resources are devoted to
researching new products and businesses. The Homestead Village(R) extended-stay
lodging product is an example of PTR's research and development efforts which
resulted in the creation of an exciting new growth company, Homestead, and
resulted in the Homestead Distribution which occurred in November 1996.
 
  Another innovative product concept developed by the REIT Manager is PTR's
master-planned apartment neighborhood, or "village," concept. These "village"
communities offer residents an extraordinary level of amenities, including
greenbelt areas, soccer and baseball fields, sports courts and large clubhouses
with features such as theaters, business centers and community resource
centers. PTR believes the "village" concept will generate consistent, long-term
growth by providing a large segment of the renter population with amenities far
beyond those which are available in traditional multifamily developments. PTR
currently has two "village" communities in operation and two additional
communities in planning.
 
 Opportunistic Acquisitions
 
  PTR opportunistically acquires multifamily communities where demographic and
market trends indicate a high likelihood of achieving attractive, sustainable
operating results. This strategy has resulted in multifamily community
acquisitions which have produced attractive returns. Since inception and
through January 31, 1997, PTR had acquired 42,038 operating units representing
a total expected investment of $1.8 billion. During 1996, PTR specifically
focused its acquisition efforts on California, because its research identified
the opportunity for very strong growth in operating performance there. PTR
acquired a total of 5,265 operating multifamily units, representing a total
expected investment of $365.3 million, in targeted California submarkets during
1996. Additionally, at January 31, 1997, PTR had letters of intent or
contingent contracts, subject to PTR's final due diligence, for the acquisition
of 964 units in California, representing a total expected investment of $77.2
million. This significant acquisition activity in California is expected to be
an important source of PTR's future growth.
 
  PTR categorizes operating multifamily communities (which include all
communities not in development) as either "stabilized" or "pre-stabilized." The
term "stabilized" means that renovation, repositioning, new management and new
marketing programs (or development and marketing in the case of newly developed
communities) have been completed and in effect for a sufficient period of time
(but in no event longer than 12 months, except for major rehabilitations) to
achieve 93% occupancy at market rents. Prior to being "stabilized," a community
is considered "pre-stabilized." Due to its active investment program, 24% of
PTR's multifamily operating portfolio, based on total expected investment, was
classified by PTR as pre-stabilized as of January 31, 1997.
 
  At January 31, 1997, PTR's operating multifamily communities (excluding
communities in lease-up) were 94.0% leased. For operating communities which PTR
has acquired, stabilized operations generally have been achieved six to 12
months after acquisition. For communities which it is developing, PTR expects
stabilized operations generally to be achieved 18 to 24 months after
construction commences.
 
 Multifamily Developments
 
  PTR selectively develops multifamily communities where land costs,
demographics and market trends indicate a high likelihood of achieving
sustainable operating results and consistent cash flow growth. This
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
disciplined approach to development has produced multifamily property
developments with desired characteristics including state-of-the-art product,
protected locations and attractive returns. Through January 31, 1997, completed
development communities, communities under construction and communities in
planning and owned represented 37.9% of PTR's multifamily portfolio, based on
total expected investment. As of January 31, 1997, PTR's multifamily
development portfolio consisted of the following:

(1) Represents total budgeted development cost, which includes the cost of
    land, fees, permits, payments to contractors, materials, architectural and
    engineering fees and interest and property taxes to be capitalized during
    the construction period. Does not include land held for future development,
    which is less than 2% of assets, based on cost.
 
  PTR focuses its development efforts primarily on moderate income communities,
which target households with incomes that range from 65-90% of the median
household income in the submarket. These households represent one of the
largest segments of the multifamily renter market. Residents in this category
are value-driven and focus on unit livability and practical amenities such as
washer/dryer hookups, storage space and lower density communities with
attractive landscaping. PTR's moderate income product comprised 71.3% of PTR's
development starts during 1996, based on number of units. Few other REITs
currently focus on the moderate income segment within PTR's primary target
market. Moreover, PTR believes that less than 15% of the 1995 and 1996
multifamily development starts in PTR's primary target market cities were
moderate income product. Consequently, PTR believes that the moderate income
segment is a significantly underserved market with limited competition. PTR
believes that focusing on this segment will allow PTR to achieve more
consistent rental increases and higher occupancies over the long-term and,
thereby, realize above average, sustainable cash flow growth and appreciation
in value.
 
  Moderate income residents are typically longer-term residents because they
often lack the financial resources required to purchase single-family homes. As
a result, resident turnover is often significantly lower in moderate income
communities than in upper middle income communities (which target households
with incomes that range from 115-140% of the median household income in the
submarket) or middle income communities (which target households with incomes
that range from 90-115% of the median household income in the submarket). PTR
estimates that the total cost of refurbishing and re-leasing a unit ranges from
$700 to $1,500; therefore, reducing resident turnover can have a material
impact on a community's cash flow. Due to market fundamentals and the operating
characteristics of moderate income communities, PTR believes that this product
category offers greater sustainable cash flow growth.
 
  PTR's research-driven development strategy is to focus on developing state-
of-the-art communities in attractive submarkets to meet renter preferences and
demographic trends. Development opportunities also permit PTR to incorporate
into its multifamily communities proprietary technologies and designs aimed at
enhancing long-term rental growth while reducing ongoing maintenance costs. PTR
has had the opportunity to evaluate and refine its multifamily product through
its long history of development (PTR has developed multifamily communities
since 1970). PTR, unlike a typical merchant builder, intends to be a long-term
owner of the communities that it develops. Hence, PTR emphasizes durability by
using materials and designs with an added view toward minimizing ongoing
operating and maintenance costs.
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  PTR carefully manages development risks by obtaining zoning and discretionary
municipal approvals prior to purchasing land. PTR does not assume construction
risk, but instead uses qualified third-party general contractors to build its
communities, using guaranteed maximum price contracts. PTR cannot eliminate all
development risk, but believes that the opportunities to better control product
and realize higher returns from development communities compensate for the
limited risk.
 
  PTR traditionally has commenced development immediately after acquiring a
tract of land. However, in certain cases where land prices are favorable and
zoned land is very limited, PTR has acquired and will acquire, on an
unleveraged basis, prudent amounts of land zoned for multifamily use. In
addition, to allow for entitlements to be finalized prior to purchasing the
land, PTR often utilizes options and rights of first refusal in order to
control land for future developments with minimal cash investments. The land
that PTR owns or controls provides a foundation for future growth by providing
a pipeline of future developments at attractive prices.
 
  To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring communities, PTR may
also from time to time enter into presale agreements with third-party
owner/developers to acquire development communities which meet PTR's investment
criteria. PTR has and will fund such developments through development loans to
these owner/developers. In addition, to provide greater flexibility for the use
of land acquired for development and to facilitate disposition of excess
parcels, PTR has and will make mortgage loans to PTR Development Services
Incorporated ("PTR Development Services") to purchase land for development. PTR
may also fund developments of multifamily communities by PTR Development
Services where the particular community or submarket does not meet PTR's
objectives for long-term ownership but presents an attractive investment
opportunity. PTR owns all of the preferred stock of PTR Development Services,
which entitles PTR to substantially all of the net operating cash flow (95%) of
PTR Development Services. All of the common stock of PTR Development Services
is owned by an unaffiliated trust. The common stock is entitled to receive the
remaining 5% of net operating cash flow. As of December 31, 1996, the
outstanding balance of development and mortgage loans made by PTR to third-
party owner/developers and PTR Development Services aggregated $127.3 million
and $18.8 million, respectively. The activities of PTR Development Services and
third-party owner/developers are consolidated with PTR's activities and all
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 Comprehensive Due Diligence and Investment Analysis
 
  PTR believes that comprehensive due diligence is essential prior to investing
in acquisitions or developments. The REIT Manager employs six full-time
professionals who perform due diligence for PTR. This due diligence team is an
important resource which allows PTR to effectively and efficiently close a
large volume of investment transactions, while thoroughly evaluating all
potential aspects of risk in each transaction. This capability provides PTR
with a competitive advantage in acquiring both operating communities and land.
 
  Prior to purchasing an asset, the due diligence team works in tandem with the
REIT Manager's development and operations professionals to thoroughly
investigate the following factors: market conditions; competitive communities
and developments; comparable sales and rents; existing and projected income and
expenses; current and targeted resident profiles; present and projected capital
requirements for community acquisitions; development costs for land purchases;
and potential liability issues such as environmental and title conditions, tax
increases, special assessments and code compliance. In addition, for land
acquisitions, all discretionary development approvals are obtained prior to
closing, thus ensuring that projected development costs are quantified with a
high degree of accuracy and the risk of construction delay is minimized.
 
  With the comprehensive data available from research, development and
operating professionals, standard financial underwriting is completed on an
unleveraged basis in order to evaluate each investment's yield and its
prospects for long-term growth in cash flow. The REIT Manager's investment
committee, which consists of five members having a combined 77 years of
experience in the real estate industry, evaluates all prospective investments
prior to submission of investment recommendations to the Board.

 Asset Optimization Strategy
 
  The ability to dispose of existing assets and efficiently redeploy the
proceeds into communities and submarkets having more attractive long-term
growth prospects is an important component of PTR's investment strategy. Each
year, REIT Management formulates operating and capital plans based on an
ongoing active review of PTR's portfolio. Based in part upon the market
research provided by Security Capital Investment Research and in an effort to
optimize its portfolio composition, PTR may from time to time seek to dispose
of assets that in management's view no longer meet PTR's long-term investment
objectives. The proceeds from these selected dispositions will be redeployed,
typically through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that in PTR's view offer
better long-term cash flow growth prospects. This allows PTR to continually
reposition its portfolio by redeploying capital into communities and markets
with superior growth characteristics.
 
  PTR's asset optimization strategy is based on the premise that it has a
finite amount of investment capital and that this capital should be deployed
where it can produce the highest levels of cash flow growth. PTR has
demonstrated the ability to enter and exit submarkets based on future growth
expectations and the supply/demand fundamentals of the submarkets in which it
operates. Since PTR's asset optimization program commenced in December 1995
and through January 31, 1997, PTR had completed the disposition of 7,403
multifamily units, realizing aggregate gains of $48.9 million on aggregate net
proceeds of $322.5 million. The proceeds were redeployed into targeted
submarkets in California, the Pacific Northwest and Salt Lake City to allow
PTR to take advantage of the strong economic recovery which is underway in
these markets. PTR's expected investment in these markets grew from 16.8% of
PTR's total portfolio as of December 31, 1995, to 41.5% of PTR's total
portfolio as of January 31, 1997, based on total expected investment.
 
Customer-Focused Property Management
 
  PTR believes that its communities must be actively managed in order to
maximize cash flow and enhance long-term economic performance. Therefore, PTR
has retained SCG Realty Services, its affiliated multifamily property
management and customer service firm wholly owned by Security Capital Group,
to manage most of PTR's communities. As of January 31, 1997, approximately
91.3% of PTR's operating multifamily communities were managed by SCG Realty
Services, based on total expected investment, with the balance of the
communities in various stages of transition to SCG Realty Services'
management.
 
  SCG Realty Services has over 1,100 employees and emphasizes locally-based
management of PTR's multifamily communities. SCG Realty Services has 15 local
offices to serve PTR's target market. This network improves SCG Realty
Services' ability to anticipate and respond to changes in local market
conditions and resident needs. PTR believes that SCG Realty Services has
developed superior operating procedures, financial controls, information
systems and training programs, which it expects will positively affect growth
in rental and occupancy rates. The REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services
develop systems and procedures which facilitate effective management of PTR's
communities.
 
  PTR recognizes that a highly focused customer service approach to day-to-day
management is essential to maximize short and long-term cash flow growth from
each of its multifamily communities. As a result, SCG Realty Services is
dedicated to maximizing the performance of PTR's communities by providing
consistent, high quality residential services to its customers. SCG Realty
Services and the REIT Manager work closely together to develop innovative
ideas to enhance customer service and resident satisfaction while maximizing
cash flow growth. See "--Security Capital Pacific Trust" for a description of
a proposal that PTR has received from Security Capital Group to exchange the
REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares, which would result in
PTR becoming internally managed.
 
  A few of the programs which have been developed recently and are currently
in the process of being implemented are summarized below:
 
  . During 1996, SCG Realty Services established 5 Regional Information
    Management ("RIM") Centers and expects to establish several additional
    centers during 1997. The RIM Center concept is designed to enable
    property-level management personnel to focus on PTR's customers, the
    residents, while moving
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
   certain accounting and administrative functions to the regionally located
   RIM Center. Each RIM Center is designed to carry out these functions for
   several area communities and thus benefit from economies of scale, better
   accounting control and enhanced cash management capabilities.
 
  . SCG Realty Services and the REIT Manager had also initiated resident
    utility billing programs at approximately 70% of PTR's multifamily
    operating communities as of December 31, 1996 and expect to increase this
    to approximately 85% of PTR's multifamily operating communities by
    December 31, 1997. Under this arrangement, water and sewer usage are
    metered and billed to individual residents, thereby enabling PTR to
    better control operating expenses, while providing residents with the
    incentive to minimize usage.
 
  . In late 1996, PTR entered into revenue sharing agreements with certain
    cable television and telephone service providers. The arrangements
    require the telecommunication providers to continually upgrade service to
    ensure state-of-the-art offerings in this rapidly changing industry. The
    agreements also allow PTR to receive a percentage of the service
    providers' revenues generated from subscribing residents while increasing
    the quality and accessibility of these services to residents.
 
  These creative initiatives coupled with highly focused day-to-day management
are expected to contribute to the growth in net operating income generated by
PTR's multifamily operating communities.
 
 Capital Markets/Finance and Conservative Balance Sheet Strategy
 
  PTR believes that a successful REIT must maintain a strong balance sheet and
have the ability to access the equity and debt markets efficiently,
expeditiously and cost effectively. PTR's ability to efficiently access the
capital markets permits it to capitalize on development and acquisition
opportunities that PTR identifies in its target market. In order to maximize
the effectiveness of this activity and enhance relationships with major
institutional investors, Security Capital Group formed Security Capital Markets
Group Incorporated ("Capital Markets Group"), a registered broker-dealer
affiliate. Capital Markets Group's services are included in the REIT Manager's
fee and do not result in a separate charge to PTR. Capital Markets Group and
the REIT Manager have arranged securities offerings and credit facilities for
PTR including:
 
  . From June 1991 through March 1995, PTR raised $822.4 million of net
    proceeds from various Common Share offerings. PTR's underwriting
    commissions on these offerings (all of which were paid to unaffiliated
    underwriters) aggregated $8.8 million, representing 1.05% of the $835.1
    million in gross proceeds.
 
  . In November 1993, PTR raised $219.7 million of net proceeds from an
    underwritten public offering of Cumulative Convertible Series A Preferred
    Shares, par value $1.00 per share ("Series A Preferred Shares"). PTR
    raised $101.3 million of net proceeds from an underwritten public
    offering of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, par value
    $1.00 per share ("Series B Preferred Shares"), in May 1995.
 
  . From February 1994 through December 1996, PTR has raised $572.6 million
    in net proceeds from underwritten public offerings of unsecured, long-
    term, fixed rate, debt securities which in the aggregate, have a
    relatively level amortization schedule.
 
  . Since the beginning of 1991, the REIT Manager has arranged for increases
    in PTR's borrowing capacity under its variable rate line of credit from
    $14.3 million to $350 million. The REIT Manager was also successful in
    converting the line of credit to an unsecured facility in August 1994. As
    of March 10, 1997, there were approximately $151.5 million of borrowings
    outstanding on this line of credit, which currently bears interest at an
    interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.125%.
 
  . On September 9, 1996, PTR entered into a short-term borrowing agreement
    with Texas Commerce Bank, National Association ("TCB"). The loan matures
    on September 9, 1997 and bears interest at an overnight rate, which has
    ranged from 5.80% to 7.50%. At March 10, 1997, there were approximately
    $6.6 million of borrowings outstanding under this agreement.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
  PTR continues to focus on maintaining its strong balance sheet which has
resulted from a conservative balance sheet strategy. PTR has a significant
equity base with a total equity market capitalization of $2.03 billion at
December 31, 1996. A key component of PTR's conservative balance sheet strategy
is the issuance of fixed rate, unsecured, long-term debt. In order to minimize
refinancing risk, PTR's long-term debt offerings are carefully structured to
create a relatively level principal maturity schedule, without large repayment
obligations in any future year. As of December 31, 1996, PTR's $580 million in
unsecured long-term debt had an effective average fixed interest rate of 7.62%
and an original weighted-average life to maturity of 12.0 years. PTR's long-
term debt as a percentage of total long-term undepreciated book capitalization
(the sum of long-term debt and shareholders' equity after adding back
accumulated depreciation) was 36.9% at December 31, 1996.
 
  PTR's credit facilities provide PTR with the financial flexibility to take
advantage of attractive investment opportunities prior to raising capital
through securities offerings. Additionally, such facilities minimize the amount
of cash which must be invested in short-term investments at low yields prior to
the deployment of the capital.
 
  PTR's conservative balance sheet strategy is expected to provide significant
incremental debt capacity and allow PTR to take advantage of future investment
opportunities which will contribute to PTR's objective of long-term growth in
cash flow per share.
 
 Non-Multifamily Properties
 
  In addition to multifamily investment activity, PTR had developed and
operated extended-stay lodging facilities under the Homestead Village(R) name
since 1992. On October 17, 1996, PTR contributed its Homestead Village(R)
properties to Homestead, a newly formed company, in exchange for Homestead
common stock. As of such date, the Homestead Village(R) properties constituted
approximately 7.1% of PTR's total assets, at cost. Additionally, the Homestead
Village(R) properties generated approximately 8.2% of PTR's net operating
income from January 1, 1996 to October 17, 1996 and approximately 5.9% and 3.5%
of PTR's 1995 and 1994 net operating income, respectively. See "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Results of Operations" and "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--
Homestead Transaction" for further information.
 
  PTR will continue to aggressively manage its non-multifamily properties in
order to maximize cash flow, and may sell its remaining non-multifamily
properties as opportunities arise. As of January 31, 1997, PTR owned two non-
multifamily properties, including a 338-room, five-story hotel located in the
Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco, California, which is leased to Holiday
Inns of America, Inc. Excluding the Homestead Village(R) properties,
approximately 1% of PTR's total 1996 rental income and less than 2% of 1995 and
1994 rental income was generated by non-multifamily properties.
 
THE REIT MANAGER
 
 General
 
  The REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates provide PTR with
strategic and day-to-day management, research, investment analysis,
acquisition, development, marketing, disposition of assets, asset management,
due diligence, capital markets, legal and accounting services and a number of
administrative services, all of which are included in the REIT Management fee.
Hence, PTR depends upon the quality of the management provided by the REIT
Manager. PTR believes that its relationship with the REIT Manager provides PTR
with access to high quality and depth of management, savings from a dedicated
capital markets group, and access to centralized research, accounting, legal
and administrative support. The REIT Manager and its specialized service
affiliates have 129 professionals dedicated to implementing PTR's highly
focused operating and investment strategy. The REIT Manager also provides
office and other facilities for PTR's needs.
 
  The REIT Manager is wholly owned by Security Capital Group and Security
Capital Group maintains a significant ownership position in PTR, thereby
creating an important alignment of interest with PTR's
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
 
shareholders. As of March 10, 1997, Security Capital Group owned 36.0% of PTR's
total outstanding Common Shares. Furthermore, the REIT Manager provides all its
services for one fee, and does not receive additional fees for investment
banking, financing, asset sales or similar services. SCG Realty Services, which
is also owned by Security Capital Group, provides property management services
at market rates in a competitive environment and management believes they are
consistent with rates prevailing in the markets in which PTR operates. See
"Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--REIT Management Agreement."
 
  The REIT Manager has organized itself such that each operating professional
specializes in a particular discipline (such as research, marketing,
development, acquisition, due diligence, dispositions, property management,
capital markets or financial operations) rather than being responsible for all
functions on a project-by project basis. All investments are approved by the
REIT Manager's investment committee, using uniform criteria, prior to being
submitted to the Board. Additionally, regional operating professionals focus on
specific target markets to ensure high levels of attention to resident
services. PTR believes that the quality of management should be assessed in
light of the factors discussed below.
 
  PTR recently announced that it received a proposal from Security Capital
Group to exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares.
As a result of the proposed transaction, PTR would become an internally managed
REIT and Security Capital Group would remain PTR's largest shareholder. The
Board has formed a special committee comprised of independent Trustees to
review the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is subject to
approval by both the special committee and the full Board. If the Board
approves the transaction, a proxy statement, subject to review by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common shareholders
prior to a shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.
 
 Management Depth/Succession
 
  PTR believes that management should have several senior executives with the
leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience to
oversee the entire operations of the REIT. PTR believes that several of its
senior officers could serve as the principal executive officer and continue
PTR's performance. See "--Trustees and Officers of PTR and Directors and
Officers of the REIT Manager and Relevant Affiliates."
 
 Strategic Vision and Research Capability
 
  PTR believes that management should have the strategic vision to determine an
investment focus which provides favorable initial yields and long-term growth
prospects. To identify favorable investment opportunities, PTR relies heavily
on the strong research capabilities of Security Capital Investment Research.
The REIT Manager and its affiliates have several persons, who work closely with
the senior officers of the REIT Manager, devoting substantial time to research
on a submarket-by-submarket basis. This research is dedicated to new
multifamily investment opportunities as well as new products such as the
Homestead Village(R) extended-stay lodging product, which resulted in the
Homestead Distribution in November 1996.
 
 Investment Committee Process
 
  PTR believes that an investment committee should provide discipline and
guidance to the investment activities of the REIT in order to achieve its
investment goals. The five members of the REIT Manager's investment committee
have a combined 77 years experience in the real estate industry. The investment
committee receives detailed written analyses and research, in a standardized
format, from the REIT Manager's personnel and evaluates all prospective
investments pursuant to uniform underwriting criteria prior to submission of
investment recommendations to the Board. The quality of the REIT Manager's
investment committee process is demonstrated by PTR's ability to achieve its
investment goals and generally exceed its projected initial returns and cash
flow growth from PTR's multifamily investments.
 
 Development/Redevelopment and Acquisition Capability
 
  PTR believes that by internally developing projects and redeveloping well
located existing communities, management can create value for the REIT that
normally escapes through sales premiums paid to successful
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
developers. The REIT Manager's personnel have substantial development and
redevelopment experience, as described in "--Trustees and Officers of PTR and
Directors and Officers of the REIT Manager and Relevant Affiliates." The REIT
Manager has 35 full-time professionals committed to development and acquisition
activities and has arranged for over $1.8 billion of successful acquisitions
for PTR since March 1991, based on total expected investment. As of January 31,
1997, the REIT Manager had 8,830 multifamily units under construction or in
planning and owned for PTR, with a total budgeted development cost of $557.4
million. In addition, as of the same date, PTR had land in planning and under
control for the development of 3,507 units with a total expected investment of
$264.5 million. See "--PTR's Multifamily Operating System and Business
Strategy."
 
 Disposition Capability
 
  The ability to identify and effectively complete the cost-effective
disposition of targeted communities is essential to the successful execution of
PTR's investment strategy. Since PTR's asset optimization program began in
December 1995 and through January 31, 1997, PTR had completed the disposition
of 7,403 multifamily units, realizing aggregate gains of $48.9 million on
aggregate net proceeds of $322.5 million, which were redeployed, typically on a
tax-deferred basis, into strategic acquisitions.
 
 Due Diligence Process
 
  PTR believes that management should have experienced senior personnel
dedicated to performing comprehensive due diligence. The REIT Manager has six
full-time due diligence professionals and has developed uniform systems and
procedures for due diligence. The REIT Manager's due diligence personnel have
analyzed and screened over $3.1 billion of investments for PTR. See "--PTR's
Multifamily Operating System and Business Strategy--Comprehensive Due Diligence
and Investment Analysis" for a description of the due diligence process.
 
 Operating Capability
 
  PTR believes that management can substantially improve funds from operations
by actively and effectively managing its multifamily communities. As described
under "--PTR's Multifamily Operating System and Business Strategy--Customer-
Focused Property Management," the REIT Manager and its affiliates have devoted
substantial personnel and financial resources to develop value-added operating
systems, which control and effectively administer the management of PTR's
multifamily portfolio.
 
 Capital Markets Capability
 
  PTR believes that management must be able to effectively raise capital for
the REIT in order for the REIT to achieve growth through investment. As set
forth under "--PTR's Multifamily Operating System and Business Strategy--
Capital Markets/Finance and Conservative Balance Sheet Strategy," REIT
Management has successfully arranged funding for PTR's investment activities.
 
 Communications/Shareholder Relations Capability
 
  PTR believes that a REIT's success in capital markets and investment
activities can be enhanced by management's ability to effectively communicate
the REIT's strategy and performance to investors, sellers of property and the
financial media. The REIT Manager provides at its expense full-time personnel
who prepare informational materials for and conduct periodic meetings with the
investment community and analysts.
 
  PTR believes that successfully combining the foregoing attributes
significantly enhances a REIT's ability to increase cash flow and the market
valuation of the REIT's portfolio.
 
 REIT Manager Compensation
 
  The REIT Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of
$855,000 plus 16% of cash flow, as defined in the REIT Management Agreement, in
excess of $4,837,000, payable monthly (see "Item 7.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--REIT Management Agreement"). PTR is also obligated to reimburse
the REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred by the REIT Manager on behalf
of PTR relating to PTR's operations, consisting primarily of external
professional fees, third-party offering costs and travel expenses. Since the
REIT Management fee fluctuates with the level of PTR's pre-REIT Management fee
cash flow, the fee has increased for each of the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, because cash flow increased substantially throughout the
same periods. As PTR arranges additional amortizing long-term debt and
nonconvertible preferred share financing and as additional funding of
Homestead convertible mortgage notes occurs, the REIT Management fee will
effectively decline in proportion to PTR's earnings from operations. This
decline will result from the fact that actual or assumed regularly scheduled
principal payments associated with long-term debt and distributions actually
paid with respect to nonconvertible preferred shares are deducted from the
cash flow amount on which the REIT Management fee is based. Similarly,
interest income from the Homestead Notes is not included in the cash flow
amount in determining the REIT Management fee. The REIT Management fee
aggregated $22,191,000, $20,354,000 and $13,182,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. See "--Security Capital
Pacific Trust" for a description of a proposal PTR has received from Security
Capital Group to exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common
Shares.

EMPLOYEES
 
  PTR currently has no employees. The REIT Manager, whose sole activity is
advising PTR, manages the day-to-day operations of PTR. The REIT Manager and
its specialized service affiliates have assembled a team of 129 operating
professionals in the REIT Manager and its affiliates, collectively possessing
extensive experience in multifamily real estate. The majority of these persons
are employed directly by the REIT Manager and are focused entirely on the
services provided by the REIT Manager. The balance of the professionals provide
centralized research, capital markets, legal, accounting and other
administrative services.

INSURANCE
 
  PTR carries comprehensive general liability coverage on its owned
communities, with limits of liability customary within the industry, to insure
against liability claims and related defense costs. Similarly, PTR is insured
against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts necessary to reimburse
PTR on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each
property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period (up
to a six-month period). PTR's blanket property policy for all operating and
development communities includes coverage for loss due to earthquake.
 
COMPETITION
 
  There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with PTR in seeking land for development,
communities for acquisition and disposition and residents for communities. All
of PTR's multifamily communities are located in developed areas that include
other multifamily communities. The number of competitive multifamily
communities in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on PTR's
ability to lease units and on the rents charged. In addition, other forms of
single family and multifamily residential communities provide housing
alternatives to residents and potential residents of PTR's multifamily
communities.
 
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
 
  PTR's communities must comply with Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (the "ADA") to the extent that such communities are "public
accommodations" and/or "commercial facilities" as defined by the ADA. The ADA
does not consider multifamily communities to be public accommodations or
commercial facilities, except portions of such facilities open to the public,
such as the leasing office. Noncompliance could result in imposition of fines
or an award of damages to private litigants. PTR believes that the mandated
portions of its communities comply with all present requirements under the ADA
and applicable state laws.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances at, on, under or in its property. The costs of removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose
such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.
The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's ability to
sell or rent such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as
collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws impose
liability for the release of asbestos-containing materials into the air,
pursuant to which third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of
real properties for personal injuries associated with such materials, and
prescribe specific methods for the removal and disposal of such materials,
which may result in increased costs in connection with renovations at PTR's
properties.
 
  PTR has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-
compliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of its properties
owned or being acquired at January 31, 1997, and PTR is not aware of any
environmental condition with respect to any of its properties that is likely to
be material. PTR has subjected each of its properties to a Phase I
environmental assessment (which does not involve invasive procedures such as
soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent consultants. While some
of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of
the environmental assessments has revealed, nor is PTR aware of, any
environmental liability (including asbestos-related liability) that the REIT
Manager believes would have a material adverse effect on PTR's business,
financial condition or results of operations. No assurance can be given,
however, that these assessments and investigations reveal all potential
environmental liabilities, that no prior owner or operator created any material
environmental condition not known to PTR or the independent consultants or that
future uses and conditions (including, without limitation, resident actions or
changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations) will not result in
unreimbursed costs relating to environmental liabilities.

operations into three regions (Central, Northwest and West). Within these
regions, PTR's multifamily communities are located in 23 metropolitan areas in
12 states. The table below summarizes the geographic distribution of PTR's
multifamily communities which are operating or under construction, based on

  The following table sets forth certain information with respect to PTR's
communities in planning and under control at January 31, 1997 (dollar amounts
in thousands). The term "in planning" means that construction is anticipated
to commence within 12 months. The term "under control" means that PTR has an
exclusive right (through contingent contract or letter of intent) during a
contractually agreed-upon time period to acquire land for future development
of multifamily communities, subject to removal of contingencies during the due
diligence process, but does not currently own the land. There can be no
assurance that such land will be acquired. The unit and total expected
investment information shown for communities in planning is based on
management's best estimates.

(1) With respect to communities under construction, represents expected
    completion date.
(2) For operating communities, represents cost, including budgeted
    renovations, as of January 31, 1997. For communities under construction
    and in planning, represents total budgeted development cost as of January
    31, 1997, which includes the cost of land, fees, permits, payments to
    contractors, materials, architectural and engineering fees and interest
    and property taxes to be capitalized during the construction period. The
    term "in planning" means that construction is anticipated to commence
    within 12 months.
(3) The term "stabilized" means that renovation, repositioning, new management
    and new marketing programs (or development and marketing in the case of
    newly developed communities) have been completed and in effect for a
    sufficient period of time (but in no event longer than 12 months, except
    for major rehabilitations) to achieve 93% occupancy at market rents. Prior
    to being "stabilized," a community is considered "pre-stabilized." See
    "Item 1. Business--PTR's Operating System and Business Strategy--
    Opportunistic Acquisitions."
(4) Property was disposed of during January 1997.

  In addition to the quarterly cash distributions shown above, PTR made the
Homestead Distribution on November 12, 1996. The securities distributed in the
Homestead Distribution had a market value of $3.032 per Common Share based on
the closing prices of such securities on the ASE on November 11, 1996, the day
prior to the distribution date. The Homestead Distribution resulted in an
adjustment of $3.125 per PTR Common Share ($21.875 before and $18.750 after)
on the NYSE on November 12, 1996.
 
  As of March 10, 1997, PTR had approximately 76,042,168 Common Shares
outstanding, approximately 3,050 record holders of Common Shares and
approximately 23,500 beneficial holders of Common Shares.
 
 Distributions
 
  PTR, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to make distributions (other
than capital gain distributions) to its shareholders in amounts at least equal
to (i) the sum of (A) 95% of its "REIT taxable income" (computed without
regard to the dividends-paid deduction and its net capital gain) and (B) 95%
of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (ii)
the sum of certain items of non-cash income. PTR's distribution strategy is to
distribute what it believes is a conservative percentage of its cash flow,
permitting PTR to retain funds for capital improvements and other investments
while funding its distributions. PTR has paid 84 consecutive quarterly cash
distributions on the Common Shares.
 
  PTR announces the following year's projected annual distribution level after
the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 10, 1996 Board meeting, the Board announced an increase in the annual
distribution level from $1.24 to $1.30 per Common Share and declared the first
quarter 1997 distribution of $0.325 per Common Share. The first quarter
distribution was paid on February 20, 1997 to shareholders of record on
February 7, 1997. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of
the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results
of PTR.

  Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares, PTR is restricted from
declaring or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless
all cumulative distributions with respect to the Preferred Shares have been
paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for Preferred Share distributions
that have been declared.
 
  For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary
income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital or a combination thereof.
Distributions that exceed PTR's current and accumulated earnings and profits
(calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than a
dividend and reduce the shareholder's basis in the Common Shares. To the extent
that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits
and the shareholder's basis in the Common Shares, it will generally be treated
as gain from the sale or exchange of that shareholder's Common Shares. PTR
annually notifies shareholders of the taxability of distributions paid during
the preceding year. For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes
the taxability of cash distributions paid on the Common Shares in 1995 and 1994
and the estimated taxability for 1996:

  The Homestead securities distributed by PTR to each holder of Common Shares
in the Homestead Distribution were valued at $2.16 per PTR Common Share for
federal income tax purposes, of which $1.06 was taxable as ordinary income,
$0.19 was taxable as a capital gain and $0.91 was treated as a return of
capital.
 
  On July 21, 1994, in addition to the normal Common Share distributions paid,
PTR redeemed the shareholder purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights
Agreement dated as of February 23, 1990, as amended. Pursuant to the
redemption, each holder of record at the close of business on July 21, 1994 was
entitled to receive $0.01 per shareholder purchase right. The redemption price
was paid on August 12, 1994 and was taxable as ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes.
 
  Under federal income tax rules, PTR's earnings and profits are first
allocated to its Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, which
increases the portion of the Common Shares distribution classified as return of
capital. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Results of Operations."
 
  For federal income tax purposes, the following summaries reflect the
estimated taxability of dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Shares and
Series B Preferred Shares, respectively.

  Due to the increase in the conversion ratio resulting from the Homestead
Distribution to holders of Common Shares, holders of Series A Preferred Shares
were deemed to have received a distribution of $2.43 on November 12, 1996 for
federal income tax purposes. Of this amount, $1.19 was taxable as ordinary
income, $0.22 was taxable as a capital gain and $1.02 was treated as a return
of capital.
 
  PTR's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1996 has not been filed, and
the taxability information for 1996 is based upon the best available data.
PTR's tax returns for prior years have not been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service and, therefore, the taxability of the dividends is subject to
change.

(1) Earnings from operations for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
    1993 reflect a $420,000, $1.6 million and a $2.3 million provision,
    respectively, for possible losses relating to investments in non-
    multifamily properties.
(2) Funds from operations is defined as net earnings computed in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains
    (or losses) plus depreciation and provision for possible loss on
    investments and excluding extraordinary items. Management believes that an
    understanding of funds from operations will enhance the reader's
    comprehension of PTR's results of operations and cash flows presented in
    the financial statements and other data in this document. In July 1994,
    PTR changed to a more conservative policy of expensing the amortization of
    loan costs in determining funds from operations. For comparability, funds
    from operations has been restated to give effect to this policy as if it
    had been in effect since January 1, 1992. Funds from operations should not
    be construed as a substitute for "net earnings" in evaluating operating
    results or as a substitute for "cash flow" in evaluating liquidity and the
    funds from operations measure presented by PTR may not be comparable to
    similarly titled measures of other REITs.
(3) See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
    and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Funds From
    Operations" for pro forma funds from operations information giving effect
    to the Homestead transaction as if it had occurred as of January 1, 1995.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following information should be read in conjunction with PTR's financial
statements and notes thereto included in Item 14 of this report.
 
  The statements contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on
current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets
in which PTR operates, management's beliefs and assumptions made by
management. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans,"
"believes," "seeks," "estimates" and variations of such words and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore,
actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or
forecasted in such forward-looking statements. PTR undertakes no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. PTR's operating results depend
primarily on income from multifamily communities, which is substantially
influenced by (i) the demand for and supply of multifamily units in PTR's
primary target market and submarkets, (ii) operating expense levels, (iii) the
effectiveness of property-level operations and (iv) the pace and price at
which PTR can acquire and develop additional multifamily communities. Capital
and credit market conditions which affect PTR's cost of capital also influence
operating results.
 
OVERVIEW
 
 General
 
  PTR's results of operations, financial position and liquidity as of and for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996 have been
influenced primarily by the operations of and investments made in PTR's
multifamily communities. PTR's investment activity has been financed through
proceeds from debt and equity offerings, proceeds from asset dispositions and
internally generated funds. During the three-year period ended December 31,
1996, PTR raised approximately $101.4 million in net proceeds from the
issuance of Series B Preferred Shares, $318.1 million in net proceeds from
subscription offerings of Common Shares, $572.6 million in net proceeds from
the issuance of unsecured, long-term, fixed rate debt and $314.2 million in
net proceeds from property dispositions (excluding the Homestead transaction).
 
  PTR's target market and submarkets have benefited substantially in recent
periods from demographic trends (including job and population growth) that
increase the demand for multifamily units. Consequently, rental rates
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
for multifamily units have increased more than the inflation rate for the last
three years and are expected to continue experiencing such increases for 1997.
Expense levels also influence operating results. During 1996, PTR's rental
expenses increased but at a lower rate than rental rate increases, producing
overall growth in net operating income. During 1995 and 1994, rental expenses
as a percentage of rental income decreased slightly. Rental expenses during
1997 are expected to increase at approximately the rate of inflation, which is
less than expected rental rate growth.

 Current Development Activity
 
  PTR believes that development of multifamily communities from the ground up,
which are built for long-term ownership and designed to meet broad resident
preferences and demographic trends, will continue to provide an important
source of long-term cash flow growth. PTR believes its ability to compete is
significantly enhanced relative to other companies because of the REIT
Manager's depth of development and acquisition personnel and presence in local
markets combined with PTR's access to investment capital.
 
  The following information on development communities under construction is
as of December 31, 1996, except as noted below (dollar amounts in thousands).

    taxes to be capitalized during the construction period.
(2) Represents the date that the first completed units were made available for

    leasing completed units prior to completion of the entire community.
(3) The percentage leased is based on total units completed and is as of

(4) A development community is considered in "lease-up" once the first units

(5) Lease-up has not yet commenced.
 
  There are risks associated with PTR's development and construction
activities which include: development and acquisition opportunities explored
may be abandoned; construction costs of a community may exceed original
estimates due to increased material, labor or other expenses, which could make
completion of the community uneconomical; occupancy rates and rents at a newly
completed community are dependent on a number of factors, including market and
general economic conditions, and may not be sufficient to make the community
profitable; financing may not be available on favorable terms for the
development of a community; and construction and lease-up may not be completed
on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction
costs. Development activities are also subject to risks relating to the
inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary land-use, building,
occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. The
occurrence of any of the events described above could adversely affect PTR's
ability to achieve its projected yields on communities under development or
redevelopment.
 
  To mitigate these risks, PTR obtains zoning and municipal approvals prior to
purchasing land. Furthermore, PTR does not take construction risk, but instead
uses qualified third-party general contractors to build its communities, using
guaranteed maximum price contracts. PTR cannot eliminate all development risk,
but believes that the opportunities to better control product and realize
higher returns from development communities compensate for the limited risk.

 Recent Acquisitions
 
  In addition to its development activity, PTR completed the acquisition of
$486.1 million of operating multifamily communities, representing a total of
7,136 units, in 1996 and through January 31, 1997. The communities PTR
acquired are listed in the table below (dollar amounts in thousands):

  Acquisitions entail risks that investments will fail to perform in
accordance with expectations and that judgments with respect to the cost of
improvements to bring an acquired community up to standards established for
the market position intended for that community will prove inaccurate, as well
as general investment risks associated with any new real estate investment.
Although PTR undertakes an evaluation of the physical condition of each new
community before it is acquired, certain defects or necessary repairs may not
be detected until after the community is acquired, which could significantly
increase PTR's total acquisition costs.
 
  These risks are partially mitigated and managed by the extensive market
research and rigorous due diligence process performed in connection with every
community considered. These factors combined with PTR's
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
extensive market experience throughout its target market and methodical
approval process have proven PTR's ability to select investments that have a
high probability of meeting or exceeding underwritten expectations.
 
 Non-Multifamily Properties
 
  In addition to multifamily investment activity, PTR had developed and
operated extended-stay lodging facilities under the Homestead Village(R) name
since 1992. On October 17, 1996, PTR contributed its Homestead Village(R)
properties to Homestead, a newly formed company, in exchange for Homestead
common stock. As of the contribution date, the Homestead Village(R) properties
constituted approximately 7.1% of PTR's total assets, at cost. Additionally,
the Homestead Village(R) properties generated approximately 8.2% of PTR's net
operating income from January 1, 1996 to October 17, 1996 and approximately
5.9% and 3.5% of PTR's 1995 and 1994 net operating income, respectively. See
"--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Homestead Transaction" for further
information.
 
  PTR will continue to aggressively manage its non-multifamily properties in
order to maximize cash flow, and may sell its remaining non-multifamily
properties as opportunities arise. As of January 31, 1997, PTR owned two non-
multifamily properties, including a 338-room, five-story hotel located in the
Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco, California, which is leased to
Holiday Inns of America, Inc. Excluding the Homestead Village(R) properties,
approximately 1% of PTR's total 1996 rental income and less than 2% of 1995
and 1994 rental income was generated by non-multifamily properties.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Net earnings for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $130.7 million, $84.3 million and
$46.7 million, respectively. Net earnings increased $46.4 million (55%) in
1996 over 1995 and $37.6 million (81%) in 1995 over 1994. These increases
related primarily to net increases in the number of multifamily operating
communities from new acquisitions and developments and, in 1996, substantial
gains from dispositions. A discussion of the major components of the increases
in net earnings follows.

</TABLE>
 
  The increases in rental income resulted primarily from net increases in the
number of multifamily operating communities during each respective period and
collections growth. The percentage of PTR's total rental income generated by
multifamily communities was 91.1%, 93.7% and 94.3% for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. This percentage is expected to increase in future periods due to
ongoing multifamily investment activities, the periodic sale of non-
multifamily properties and the October 17, 1996 contribution of PTR's
Homestead Village(R) properties to Homestead, a newly formed company. At
December 31, 1996, multifamily investments comprised 98.9% of PTR's total real
estate portfolio, based on total expected investment. Rental income increases
were partially offset by the additional operating expenses associated with the
increase in operating communities. Overall, NOI as a percentage of rental
income improved from 1994 to 1995 and remained relatively level from 1995 to
1996 as a greater percentage of PTR's portfolio became stabilized.
 
  PTR categorizes operating multifamily communities (which include all
communities not under development) as either "stabilized" or "pre-stabilized."
The term "stabilized" means that renovation,
 
                                      40
<PAGE>
 
repositioning, new management and new marketing programs (or development and
marketing in the case of newly developed communities) have been completed for
a sufficient period of time (but in no event longer than 12 months, except for
major rehabilitations) to achieve 93% occupancy at market rents. Prior to
being "stabilized," a community is considered "pre-stabilized." Approximately
74.4%, 87.2% and 82.3% of PTR's operating multifamily portfolio was classified
as stabilized as of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, based on
total expected investment. The December 31, 1996 stabilized percentage was
lower than the stabilized percentage throughout most of 1996 due to above
average acquisition activity in the fourth quarter of 1996. Using a weighted-
average percentage based on total expected investment at the end of each
quarter, approximately 81.1%, 82.8% and 64.4% of PTR's operating multifamily
portfolio was classified as stabilized during 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
 
  The full impact of additional net operating income from PTR's multifamily
development activities, and to a lesser extent, PTR's acquisition activities,
is not reflected until after the communities are stabilized. Initially these
investment activities are dilutive when compared to the results of operations
that would occur if these investments were yielding a stabilized return;
however, they are an important source of PTR's long-term growth.
 
  During the construction period for communities developed by PTR, there is no
operating income; therefore, the only contribution to net earnings and funds
from operations from units under construction results from the capitalization
of interest. The capitalization of interest ceases for all units in a building
once the building is completed and units are placed in service. Operating
expenses, including pre-opening marketing costs, are expensed and typically
exceed rental revenues during the early stages of lease-up. As the lease-up
process continues, net operating income becomes positive and the return on
investment approaches a stabilized yield. However, the net operating income
generated during the lease-up period is less than the income that is expected
to be earned when the community is stabilized. Therefore, development
communities are dilutive during the construction period and until the property
reaches stabilization, which generally is achieved 18 to 24 months after
construction commences. Despite this short-term dilutive impact, PTR has
demonstrated that its development activities contribute significantly to long-
term performance as the communities achieve stabilization.
 
 Multifamily Communities Fully Operational Throughout Consecutive Periods
 
  For the 93 multifamily communities which were fully operational throughout
both 1996 and 1995, property-level net operating income increased 3.31% in
1996 over 1995. The increase in net operating income resulted from a 2.81%
rental revenue increase and a 2.08% increase in rental expenses for such
communities. For the 79 multifamily communities fully operating throughout
both 1995 and 1994, property-level net operating income increased 7.8% in 1995
over 1994. The increase in net operating income resulted from a 3.7% rental
revenue increase and a 1.5% decrease in rental expenses for such communities.

were fully operational for consecutive years ("same store communities") and

 Homestead Operations and Interest Income
 
  Prior to the Homestead transaction described below in "--Liquidity and
Capital Resources--Homestead Transaction," which closed on October 17, 1996,
PTR developed and operated Homestead Village(R) properties. Following is a
summary of the operations related to these properties:

  The increase in net operating income in each period is primarily attributable
to the increase in the number of operating properties from period to period as
a result of significant development activity.
 
  During 1996, PTR recorded $2.0 million in interest income ($1.9 million for
purposes of calculating funds from operations) from the Homestead Notes
received on October 17, 1996 in connection with the Homestead transaction and
Homestead Notes received thereafter in connection with additional fundings of
Homestead development activity. Homestead interest income will increase in
future periods as PTR continues to fund Homestead's development activity up to
its $198.8 million funding commitment and since the Homestead Notes were
outstanding for less than one quarter during 1996. Following is a summary of
Homestead fundings during 1996 (in thousands).

</TABLE>
 
  PTR deducts from net earnings the interest income related to the amortization
of discounts and warrant-related deferred revenue in calculating funds from
operations. Therefore, the effective interest rate on the Homestead Notes as a
percentage of the "funded" balance for purposes of calculating funds from
operations is approximately 10.7% per annum as compared to approximately 12.4%
per annum for purposes of calculating net earnings.
 
  PTR expects to complete the funding of the remaining $97.6 million under its
funding commitment in 1997 and the first half of 1998.
 
 Depreciation Expense
 
  The increases in depreciation expense reflected in each year of the three-
year period resulted primarily from the increase in the number of operating
communities partially offset by dispositions and, in 1996, the contribution of
PTR's Homestead Village(R) properties to Homestead.
 
 Interest Expense
 
  The following table summarizes PTR's interest expense (in thousands).

  Line of credit interest expense increased $4.1 million in 1996 as compared
with 1995 and decreased $0.3 million in 1995 as compared with 1994. The
increase in 1996 as compared to 1995 resulted from higher outstanding balances
and an increase in amortization of additional loan costs (administrative fees,
renewal fees and legal fees) relating to PTR's revolving credit facility, which
were offset in part by lower interest rates.
 
  Interest expense on senior, unsecured, long-term, fixed rate debt ("Notes")
increased for 1996 as compared with 1995, resulting from the issuance of $150
million of Notes in February 1996, the issuance of $100 million of Notes in
August 1996 and the issuance of $130 million of Notes in October 1996. Interest
expense increased for 1995 as compared with 1994, as a result of the issuance
of $200 million of Notes in February 1994.
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
 
  Mortgage interest expense increased $2.0 million in 1996 as compared with
1995, and $4.7 million in 1995 as compared with 1994. These increases are the
result of additional weighted-average debt outstanding due to mortgage
assumptions related to acquisitions which were partially offset by
prepayments.
 
  The increases in interest expense were offset by increases in capitalized
interest of $5.2 million in 1996 over 1995 and $5.7 million in 1995 over 1994.
The increase in capitalized interest is primarily attributable to increased
levels of multifamily development activity in each year.
 
 REIT Management Fee Paid to Affiliate
 
  The REIT Management fee paid by PTR increased by $1.8 million in 1996 over
1995 and $7.2 million in 1995 over 1994. These increases are attributable to
the fact that the REIT Management fee paid by PTR generally fluctuates with
the level of PTR's pre-REIT Management fee cash flow, which increased
substantially throughout the same period (see "--REIT Management Agreement"
below). In the future, as PTR arranges additional unsecured long-term debt and
nonconvertible preferred share financing and as additional fundings of the
Homestead Notes occur, the REIT Management fee will effectively decline in
proportion to PTR's earnings from operations. This decline will result from
the fact that actual or assumed regularly scheduled principal payments
associated with the unsecured long-term debt and distributions actually paid
with respect to any nonconvertible preferred shares are deducted from the cash
flow amount on which the REIT Management fee is based. Similarly, interest
income from the Homestead convertible mortgage notes is not included in the
cash flow amount in determining the REIT Management fee. See "Item 1.
Business--Security Capital Pacific Trust" for a description of a proposal that
PTR has received from Security Capital Group to exchange the REIT Manager and
SCG Realty Services for Common Shares.
 
 Gains and Provision for Loss on Real Estate and Investments
 
  Each year, REIT Management formulates operating and capital plans based on
an ongoing active review of PTR's portfolio. Based in part upon the market
research provided by Security Capital Investment Research and in an effort to
optimize its portfolio composition, PTR may from time to time seek to dispose
of assets that in management's view no longer meet PTR's long-term investment
objectives. The proceeds from these selected dispositions will be redeployed,
typically through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that in PTR's view offer
better long-term cash flow growth prospects. As a result of this asset
optimization strategy, PTR disposed of 22 multifamily communities and one
industrial building during 1996, representing aggregate net proceeds of $291.1
million, and disposed of one multifamily property in the fourth quarter of
1995, representing net proceeds of $8.8 million. For federal income tax
purposes, the majority of the dispositions were structured as tax-deferred
exchanges which deferred gain recognition. For financial reporting purposes,
however, the transactions qualified for profit recognition and aggregate gains
of $37.5 million and $2.6 million were recorded for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"), adopted by PTR effective January 1, 1996, establishes
accounting standards for the review of long-lived assets to be held and used
for impairment whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that certain long-lived assets to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell, PTR did not recognize any losses on the date it adopted SFAS No.
121.
 
  As part of PTR's asset optimization strategy, 19 multifamily communities and
two non-multifamily properties were held for disposition as of December 31,
1996. The aggregate carrying value of properties held for disposition was
$178.9 million at December 31, 1996. Each property's carrying value is less
than or equal to its estimated fair market value, net of estimated costs to
sell. Such properties are not depreciated during the period for which they are
determined to be held for disposition. Subject to normal closing risks, PTR
expects to complete the disposition of all properties during 1997 and redeploy
the net proceeds from such dispositions primarily through tax-deferred
exchanges into the acquisition of multifamily communities. The earnings from
operations for properties held for disposition which are included in PTR's
earnings from operations for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $15.8 million, $15.3
million and $10.5 million, respectively.
 
                                      44
<PAGE>
 
  PTR's other real estate investments are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. As a
result of such evaluation, PTR recorded a provision for possible loss of
$220,000 and $1,600,000 during 1995 and 1994, respectively, relating to a non-
multifamily investment which was subsequently sold in October 1995. Also,
during 1995 it was determined that PTR could potentially be liable for certain
maintenance items under the terms of a 1993 master lease agreement on a non-
multifamily property which resulted in the recording of an estimated provision
for loss of $200,000. The recording of a provision for loss has no impact on
cash flow from operating activities. As of December 31, 1996, PTR's real
estate investments were carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of
fair market value.
 
 Extraordinary Item--Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
 
  During 1996, PTR prepaid $25.8 million in mortgage notes payable. Such early
extinguishment of debt resulted in prepayment penalties and a write-off of
unamortized loan costs in the aggregate of $870,000 which was recorded as an
extraordinary item for 1996.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  PTR is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence procedures, PTR has conducted Phase I environmental assessments on
each community prior to acquisition. The cost of complying with environmental
regulations was not material to PTR's results of operations. PTR is not aware
of any environmental condition on any of its communities that is likely to
have a material adverse effect on PTR's financial position or results of
operations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  PTR considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from operations and
financings to be adequate and expects it to continue to be adequate to meet
PTR's development, acquisition, operating, debt service, Homestead funding
obligation and shareholder distribution requirements.
 
 Operating Activities
 
  Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased by $22.1 million
(18.2%) for 1996 as compared to 1995 and $27.2 million (28.7%) for 1995 as
compared to 1994. These increases are due primarily to multifamily property
acquisitions and developments as described under "--Overview" and "--Results
of Operations" above and, to a lesser extent, cash flow growth in communities
fully operating in both comparative years.
 
 Investing and Financing Activities
 
  During 1996, 1995 and 1994, PTR invested cash of $628.6 million, $311.6
million and $380.7 million, respectively, in real estate investments relating
primarily to the significant acquisition and development activity summarized
in "--Overview" above. The $628.6 million invested in 1996 was financed
primarily from $291.1 million of net proceeds received from property
dispositions and proceeds from the issuance of $380 million of unsecured long-
term debt. The $311.6 million invested in 1995 was financed primarily from
$216.3 million of net proceeds from the sale of Common Shares and $101.3
million of net proceeds from the sale of Series B Preferred Shares. The $380.7
million invested in 1994 was financed primarily from $101.1 million of net
proceeds from the sale of Common Shares and proceeds from the issuance of $200
million of unsecured long-term debt.
 
  Other significant financing activity included the payment of $114.9 million,
$98.6 million and $62.2 million in Common and Preferred Share distributions
and dividends for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increases in these
distributions and dividends from year to year reflect the sale of additional
Common Shares issued in 1995 and 1994 and the impact of the Series B Preferred
Shares issued in 1995.
 
  In addition to the cash financing and investing activities described above,
in March 1995, PTR issued 8,468,460 Common Shares valued at $138.7 million,
assumed $51.9 million in outstanding line of credit debt and assumed $54.4
million in mortgage debt in exchange for all of PACIFIC's common stock.
Mortgage debt assumed in connection with other multifamily property
acquisitions aggregated $104.2 million, $12.1 million and $56.6 million for
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

 Credit Facilities
 
  PTR has a $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit with TCB, as agent
for a group of financial institutions (collectively, the "Lenders"). At March
10, 1997, there were approximately $151.5 million of borrowings outstanding on
this line of credit. The line of credit matures August 1998 and may be
extended annually for an additional year with the approval of the Lenders. The
line of credit bears interest at the greater of prime (8.25% at March 10,
1997) or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or at PTR's option, LIBOR (5.4375%
at March 10, 1997) plus 1.125% (6.5625% at March 10, 1997). The spread over
LIBOR can vary from LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based upon the rating
of PTR's senior unsecured debt. Additionally, there is a commitment fee on the
average unfunded line of credit balance. The commitment fee was $396,000,
$502,000 and $224,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
  A summary of PTR's line of credit borrowings is as follows (dollars in
thousands):

  On September 9, 1996, PTR entered into a short-term, unsecured, borrowing
agreement with TCB. The loan matures September 9, 1997 and bears interest at
an overnight rate, which has ranged from 5.80% to 7.50%. At March 10, 1997,
there were $6.6 million of borrowings outstanding under this agreement.
 
  On March 10, 1997, PTR borrowed $60 million under a short-term borrowing
agreement with a financial institution. The loan matures on September 10,
1997, but provides for early repayment at PTR's option on the 10th day of each
month during the term. Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of LIBOR
plus 0.60% (6.0375% at March 10, 1997). These proceeds were used to repay
borrowings under PTR's line of credit.
 
  The aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under all of PTR's credit
facilities on March 10, 1997 was $218.1 million.
 
 Long-Term Debt
 
  As of December 31, 1996, PTR has issued a total of $580 million of Notes,
which bear interest at a specified rate per annum, payable semi-annually.
Funds from such issuances were used primarily for acquisition, development and
renovation of multifamily communities and to repay revolving credit balances
incurred for such purposes. The following table summarizes the Notes:

 Covenants
 
  PTR's debt instruments generally contain certain covenants common to the
type of facility or borrowing, including financial covenants establishing
minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan to value ratios. PTR was
in compliance with all covenants pertaining to its debt instruments at
December 31, 1996.
 
 Commitments and Contingencies
 
  At January 31, 1997, PTR had contingent contracts or letters of intent,
subject to PTR's final due diligence and approval of all entitlements, to
acquire land for new development communities with an estimated 3,507
multifamily units at a total budgeted development cost of $264.5 million. At
the same date, PTR also had contingent contracts or letters of intent, subject
to final due diligence, for the acquisition of 964 additional operating
multifamily units with a total expected investment of $77.2 million, including
budgeted renovations. At January 31, 1997, PTR had unfunded development
commitments for developments under construction of $158.8 million. For a
description of unfunded commitments in connection with the Homestead
transaction, see "--Homestead Transaction" below.
 
  PTR expects to finance these activities and other future investment and
operating needs with cash on hand, borrowings under its credit facilities and
disposition proceeds from its asset optimization strategy, prior to arranging
long-term capital. The credit facilities will facilitate an efficient response
to market opportunities while minimizing the amount of cash invested in short-
term investments at lower yields. As of March 10, 1997, there were
approximately $218.1 million of borrowings outstanding under all of PTR's
credit facilities. Other sources of future liquidity and financial flexibility
include $170 million in shelf-registered securities which can be issued in the
form of unsecured long-term debt or preferred shares on an as-needed basis,
subject to PTR's ability to effect an offering on satisfactory terms. PTR
believes that its current conservative ratio of long-term debt to total long-
term undepreciated book capitalization (the sum of long-term debt and
shareholders' equity after adding back accumulated depreciation) of 36.9% at
December 31, 1996, provides considerable flexibility to prudently increase its
capital base by utilizing long-term debt as a financing tool in the future.
 
  From time to time, PTR utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges
in anticipation of future debt offerings in order to manage well-defined
interest rate risk. In anticipation of a 1997 debt offering, PTR entered into
interest rate contracts in 1996 with notional amounts aggregating $50 million
which PTR plans to terminate when the anticipated offering is completed. As of
March 10, 1997, the fair market value of these contracts was an unrealized
loss of approximately $69,250. The gain or loss ultimately realized upon
termination of the hedge will be deferred and amortized into interest expense
over the term of the related debt.
 
 Homestead Transaction
 
  On October 17, 1996, PTR, ATLANTIC, Security Capital Group and Homestead
consummated a merger agreement pursuant to which each of PTR, ATLANTIC and
Security Capital Group contributed, through a series of merger transactions,
all of their respective assets related to their Homestead Village(R) extended-
stay lodging assets to Homestead, a newly formed company. In connection with
the transaction, PTR and ATLANTIC entered into funding commitment agreements
to finance the development of certain Homestead properties.
 
  PTR contributed 54 Homestead Village(R) properties (or the rights to acquire
such properties) ("Homestead Assets") to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727
shares of Homestead common stock. Simultaneously, PTR received 6,363,789
warrants to acquire additional shares of Homestead common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share in exchange for entering into a funding commitment agreement.
In this agreement, PTR agreed to provide up to $198.8 million in secured
financing for developments to Homestead in exchange for up to $221.3 million
in Homestead Notes, including those existing on the properties at the
transaction date.
 
                                      48
<PAGE>
 
  The Homestead Notes were created under a master facility providing for
aggregate fundings of up to $198.8 million in exchange for notes with a face
amount of up to $221.3 million. Under the terms of the funding commitment
agreement, PTR receives approximately $1.00 in principal amount of Homestead
Notes for every $.90 funded (i.e., the Homestead Notes are issued at a
discount). The discount is amortized into interest income over the term of the
Homestead Notes using a method which approximates the effective interest
method. Maximum fundings are established for each individual development
project and specific liens are recorded to secure payment. The Homestead Notes
are cross-collateralized, which enables PTR to foreclose or take possession of
any one or more of the underlying properties upon the occurrence of an event of
default. The Homestead Notes require semi-annual interest-only payments at 9%
per annum of the face amount of the Homestead Notes outstanding, are callable
at the option of Homestead after 5 years and mature on October 31, 2006.
 
  The Homestead Notes are convertible into Homestead common stock after March
31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50
of principal amount outstanding, subject to adjustment. The initial value
attributed to the conversion feature has been recorded as an additional
component of the Homestead Notes' balance and the corresponding discount is
being amortized into interest income over the term of the Homestead Notes using
a method which approximates the effective interest method. The difference
between the fair value of the Homestead Notes (assuming conversion), based upon
the closing price of $18.00 of Homestead's common stock on the ASE at December
31, 1996, and the amortized cost of the Homestead Notes is reflected as an
additional component of the Homestead Notes' balance and as an unrealized
holding gain.
 
  PTR also received warrants to purchase Homestead common stock in exchange for
entering into the funding commitment agreement. The warrants were distributed
to PTR shareholders with the Homestead common stock in the Homestead
Distribution. The benefit associated with the receipt of the Homestead warrants
has been recorded as deferred revenue which is included in accrued expenses and
other liabilities and is being amortized into interest income using a method
which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the Homestead
Notes.
 
  PTR deducts from net earnings the interest income related to the amortization
of discounts and warrant-related deferred revenue in calculating funds from
operations. Therefore, the effective interest rate on the Homestead Notes as a
percentage of the "funded" balance for purposes of calculating funds from
operations is approximately 10.7% per annum as compared to approximately 12.4%
per annum for purposes of calculating net earnings.
 
  Through February 28, 1997, PTR had funded $111.4 million of its funding
commitment. This leaves a remaining commitment under the funding commitment
agreement of approximately $87.4 million, which will be provided to Homestead
to fund developments as needed on development properties contributed by PTR.
 
  During 1997 and the first half of 1998, PTR expects to complete the funding
of the Homestead Notes which are convertible into Homestead common stock at a
price of $11.50 per share. PTR's ownership of the Homestead Notes, assuming
full funding and conversion, would result in the following incremental value
per PTR Common Share as of December 31, 1996 (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

  Upon full funding of the Homestead Notes and after giving effect to the
Homestead Distribution described below, PTR's conversion rights would
represent a 34.7% ownership interest in Homestead. This ownership interest
assumes no further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all Homestead
Notes by PTR and ATLANTIC and exercise of all outstanding warrants.
 
  PTR's Homestead common stock and warrants to acquire additional common stock
were distributed on November 12, 1996 to holders of record of Common Shares on
October 29, 1996. Each PTR shareholder received 0.125694 shares of Homestead
common stock and 0.084326 warrants per PTR Common Share plus cash for
fractional shares and warrants in the Homestead Distribution.
 
 Merger and Concurrent Subscription Offering
 
  On March 23, 1995, PTR consummated a merger (the "Merger") of PACIFIC with
and into PTR. PACIFIC was a private multifamily REIT controlled by Security
Capital Group. In the Merger, each outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock
was converted into the right to receive 0.611 Common Shares. As a result,
8,468,460 Common Shares were issued in the Merger in exchange for all
outstanding shares of PACIFIC common stock. The Merger expanded PTR's target
market to include a six-state region of the western United States that the
REIT Manager believes will provide attractive multifamily growth
opportunities. Additionally, PTR changed its name from Property Trust of
America to Security Capital Pacific Trust to more accurately reflect its
target market.
 
  Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, PTR completed a
subscription offering pursuant to which PTR received net proceeds of $216.3
million (13.2 million Common Shares). The subscription offering was designed
to allow shareholders of PTR to purchase Common Shares at the same price at
which PACIFIC shareholders acquired Common Shares in the Merger ($16.375 per
Common Share). Security Capital Group purchased $50 million (3.1 million
Common Shares at $16.375 per Common Share) in the subscription offering
pursuant to the oversubscription privilege.
 
 Distributions
 
  PTR announces the following year's projected annual distribution level after
the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 10, 1996 Board meeting, the Board announced a projected increase in
the annual distribution level from $1.24 to $1.30 per Common Share and
declared the first quarter 1997 distribution of $0.325 per Common Share. The
first quarter distribution was paid on February 20, 1997, to shareholders of
record on February 7, 1997. The payment of distributions is subject to the
discretion of the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and
operating results of PTR.
 
 Preferred Shares
 
  In November 1993, PTR issued $230 million of Series A Preferred Shares that
are entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to the greater of $1.75 per
share and the dividend which would be received if the Series A Preferred
Shares were converted to Common Shares. This amounted to $14.7 million, $16.1
million and $16.1 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease
in the dividend during 1996 is attributable to approximately 2,705,000 Series
A Preferred Shares being converted into approximately 3,294,000 Common Shares
during 1996. In connection with the Homestead transaction described above, the
conversion ratio was adjusted from 1.2162 to 1.3469 Common Shares for each
Series A Preferred Share. Based on this conversion ratio and the 1997
projected distribution of $1.30 per Common Share, the dividend per Series A
Preferred Share is expected to be approximately $1.751 in 1997.
 
  In May 1995, PTR issued $105 million of Series B Preferred Shares that are
entitled to receive an annual dividend of $2.25 per share (9.0% annual
dividend rate), which amounted to $9.5 million for 1996 and $5.7 million for
1995.
 
  The Preferred Share dividends do not reduce the amount PTR has budgeted for
Common Share distributions but do increase the percentage of the Common Share
distribution that constitutes a non-taxable return of capital.

 Funds From Operations
 
  Funds from operations is defined as net earnings computed in accordance with
GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) plus depreciation and provision for possible
loss on investments and excluding extraordinary items. Management believes
that an understanding of funds from operations will enhance the reader's
comprehension of PTR's results of operations and cash flows presented in the
financial statements and other sections within this document. In July 1994,
PTR changed to the more conservative policy of expensing the amortization of
loan costs in determining funds from operations. For comparability, funds from
operations has been restated to give effect to this policy as if it had been
in effect since January 1, 1992. Funds from operations should not be construed
as a substitute for "net earnings" in evaluating operating results nor as a
substitute for "cash flow" in evaluating liquidity and the funds from
operations measure presented by PTR may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other REITs.
 
  In 1996, PTR contributed its Homestead Assets to Homestead, as more fully
described above under "--Homestead Transaction". Management believes that
funds from operations for 1996 and 1995 should be adjusted to reflect the
effects of the Homestead transaction on funds from operations in order to be
comparable. Accordingly, the table below also presents pro forma funds from
operations, which have been calculated as if the Homestead transaction had

operations information presented below provides a more meaningful comparison
of 1996 and 1995; however, the pro forma funds from operations information is
unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what actual funds from
operations would have been if the Homestead transaction had occurred on
January 1, 1995.

REIT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Effective March 1, 1991, PTR entered into a REIT management agreement (the
"REIT Management Agreement") with the REIT Manager pursuant to which the REIT
Manager assumed day-to-day management of PTR. All officers of PTR are
employees of the REIT Manager and PTR currently has no employees. The REIT
Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day management of PTR, including
research, investment analysis, acquisition, development, dispositions,
property management, capital markets, legal, accounting and other
administrative services. The REIT Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Security Capital Group, which owned 36.0% of the Common Shares as of February
28, 1997.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of
$855,000 plus 16% of cash flow as defined in the REIT Management Agreement in
excess of $4,837,000, payable monthly. In the REIT Management Agreement, cash
flow is calculated by reference to PTR's cash flow from operations plus (i)
fees paid to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary expenses incurred at the
request of the independent Trustees of PTR and (iii) 33% of any interest paid
by PTR on convertible subordinated debentures (of which there has been none
since inception of the REIT Management Agreement); and after deducting (i)
regularly scheduled principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon
payments) for debt with commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii)
actual or assumed principal and interest payments on long-term debt, (iii)
interest income received in connection with the Homestead Notes and (iv)
distributions actually paid with respect to any nonconvertible preferred
shares of beneficial interest of PTR. The REIT Management Agreement provides
that long-term unsecured debt is treated as if it had regularly scheduled
principal and interest payments similar to a 20-year, level monthly payment,
fully amortizing mortgage, and the assumed principal and interest payments are
deducted from cash flow in determining the fee. Cash flow does not include
dividend and interest income from PTR Development Services, realized gains or
losses from dispositions of investments or income from cash equivalent
investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.25% per year on the
average daily balance of cash equivalent investments.
 
  Since the REIT Management fee fluctuates with the level of PTR's pre-REIT
Management fee cash flow, the fee has increased for each of the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, because cash flow increased substantially
throughout the same periods. As PTR arranges additional amortizing long-term
debt and nonconvertible preferred share financing and as additional funding of
Homestead Notes occurs, the REIT Management fee will effectively decline in
proportion to PTR's earnings from operations. This decline will result from
the fact that actual or assumed regularly scheduled principal payments
associated with long-term debt and distributions actually paid with respect to
nonconvertible preferred shares are deducted from the cash flow amount on
which the REIT Management fee is based. Similarly, interest income from the
Homestead Notes is not included in the cash flow amount in determining the
REIT Management fee.
 
  PTR is obligated to reimburse the REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred
by the REIT Manager on behalf of PTR relating to PTR's operations, consisting
primarily of external professional fees, offering costs and travel expenses.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by PTR annually, subject to a
determination by the independent Trustees (who receive performance benchmark
information verified by an independent third party) that the REIT Manager's
performance has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the
REIT Manager is fair. Each of PTR and the REIT Manager may terminate the REIT
Management Agreement on 60 days' notice.

  PTR recently announced that it received a proposal from Security Capital
Group to exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares.
As a result of the proposed transaction, PTR would become an internally managed
REIT and Security Capital Group would remain PTR's largest shareholder. The
Board has formed a special committee comprised of independent Trustees to
review the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is subject to
approval by both the special committee and the full Board. If the Board
approves the transaction, a proxy statement, subject to review by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common shareholders
prior to a shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST:
 
  We have audited the financial statements of SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST as
listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the
financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule
listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
 
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Business
 
  Security Capital Pacific Trust (New York Stock Exchange Symbol: "PTR") is an
equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") organized in 1963 under the laws
of the state of Maryland, which primarily owns, develops, acquires and operates
income-producing multifamily communities in the western United States.
 
 Principles of Financial Presentation
 
  The accounts of PTR and its majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated in
the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  PTR considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions
and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
 Real Estate and Depreciation
 
  Real estate is carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of
estimated fair market value.
 
  Costs directly related to the acquisition (including costs related to certain
planned renovations identified during PTR's pre-acquisition due diligence),
development or improvement of real estate, and certain indirect costs related
to developments are capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit
of unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the
pursuit is abandoned.
 
  Depreciation is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable
property on a straight-line basis. Real estate assets are depreciated
principally over the following useful lives:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                           <C>
             Buildings and improvements... 20-40 years
             Furnishings and other........  2-10 years
</TABLE>
 
 Make-Ready and Repairs and Maintenance
 
  Make-ready (expenditures incurred in preparing a vacant multifamily unit for
the next tenant) and repairs and maintenance expenditures, other than
acquisition-related renovation costs identified during PTR's pre-acquisition
due diligence, are expensed as incurred. PTR generally expenses carpet and
appliance repairs and replacements after any planned acquisition-related
renovation expenditures for such items have been incurred.
 
 Interest
 
  During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the total interest paid in cash on all
outstanding debt, net of interest capitalized, was $23,631,000, $17,674,000 and
$11,949,000, respectively.
 
  PTR capitalizes interest incurred during the construction period as part of
the cost of multifamily communities under development. Interest capitalized
during 1996, 1995 and 1994 aggregated $16,941,000, $11,741,000 and $6,029,000,
respectively.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Cost of Raising Capital
 
  Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity securities are
deducted from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the
issuance or renewal of debt are capitalized as other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan or the renewal period. Amortization of loan costs
included in interest expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,233,000, $1,543,000
and $1,903,000, respectively.
 
 Interest Rate Contracts
 
  From time to time, PTR utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges in
anticipation of future debt offerings to manage well-defined interest rate
risk. Unrealized changes in the market value of interest rate contracts are
deferred until the hedged transaction is consummated and realized gains and
losses resulting from changes in the market value of these contracts are
deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt
issuance.
 
 Revenue and Gain Recognition
 
  PTR leases its multifamily units under operating leases with terms of
generally less than one year. Rental income is recognized according to the
terms of the underlying leases which approximates the revenue which would be
recognized if spread evenly over the lease term.
 
  Gains on sales of real estate are recorded when the recognition criteria set
forth by generally accepted accounting principles have been met.
 
 Rental Expenses
 
  Rental expenses shown on the accompanying Statement of Earnings include costs
of on-site personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, make-ready, property
insurance, marketing, landscaping, property management fees paid to
unaffiliated companies, and other on-site administrative costs.
 
 Federal Income Taxes
 
  PTR has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. PTR believes it qualifies as a REIT and, accordingly,
no provisions have been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying
financial statements.
 
 Per Share Data
 
  Primary earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $1.00 per share ("Common
Shares"), outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per Common Share is calculated
from the weighted average Common Shares outstanding plus the Common Shares that
would be outstanding assuming conversion of all outstanding cumulative
convertible Series A Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $1.00
per share ("Series A Preferred Shares"), outstanding Trustee options and
certain warrants exercisable by third parties (Note 8). For purposes of the
fully diluted earnings per share calculation, dividends on the Series A
Preferred Shares are added back to net earnings attributable to Common Shares.
Primary earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share were
approximately the same for each of the three years presented, although there
was reportable dilution for the third quarter of 1996. See Note 10.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain of the 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1996 presentation.

(2) HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
 
  On October 17, 1996, PTR, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
("ATLANTIC"), Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital Group")
and Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead") consummated a merger
agreement pursuant to which each of PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital Group
contributed, through a series of merger transactions, all of their respective
assets related to their Homestead Village(R) extended-stay lodging assets to
Homestead, a newly formed company. In connection with the transaction, PTR and
ATLANTIC entered into funding commitment agreements to finance the development
of certain Homestead properties.
 
  PTR contributed 54 Homestead Village(R) properties (or the rights to acquire
such properties) ("Homestead Assets") to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727
shares of Homestead common stock. Simultaneously, PTR received 6,363,789
warrants to acquire additional shares of Homestead common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share in exchange for entering into a funding commitment agreement.
In this agreement PTR agreed to provide up to $198.8 million in secured
financing for developments to Homestead in exchange for up to $221.3 million
in convertible mortgage notes ("Homestead Notes"), including those existing on
the properties at the transaction date. See Note 5 for information on the
Homestead Notes.
 
  Upon full funding of the Homestead Notes and after giving effect to the
Homestead Distribution described below, PTR's conversion rights would
represent a 34.7% ownership interest in Homestead. This ownership interest
assumes no further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all Homestead
Notes by PTR and ATLANTIC and exercise of all outstanding warrants.
 
  PTR's Homestead common stock and warrants to acquire additional common stock
were distributed on November 12, 1996 to holders of record of Common Shares on
October 29, 1996 (the "Homestead Distribution"). Each PTR shareholder received
0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock and 0.084326 warrants per PTR Common
Share plus cash for fractional shares and warrants.
 
  As of October 17, 1996, the Homestead Assets owned by PTR constituted 7.1%
of PTR's total assets, and PTR's investment in its wholly owned Homestead
Village subsidiaries, including intercompany advances, constituted less than
1% of PTR's total assets. PTR's Homestead Village(R) operations accounted for
approximately 8.2% of PTR's total earnings from operations from January 1,
1996 to October 17, 1996.
 
  The Homestead transaction had the following impact on PTR's balance sheet as
of October 17, 1996, after giving effect to the Homestead Distribution (in
thousands):

(3) 1995 MERGER OF SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC INCORPORATED AND CONCURRENT
SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING
 
  On March 23, 1995, PTR consummated a merger (the "Merger") of Security
Capital Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"), a Maryland corporation, with and
into PTR. PACIFIC was a private multifamily REIT controlled by Security
Capital Group, PTR's principal shareholder. PACIFIC's portfolio consisted
primarily of 17 operating multifamily communities aggregating 5,579 units. In
the Merger, each outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock was converted into
the right to receive 0.611 Common Shares. As a result, 8,468,460 of PTR's
Common Shares valued at $138.7 million ($16.375 per share) were issued in the
Merger in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of PACIFIC common stock.
In addition, PTR assumed $51.9 million on PACIFIC's line of credit and $54.4
million of mortgage debt. The Merger has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations of PACIFIC have been included in PTR's
financial statements from March 23, 1995.
 
  The following summarized pro forma (unaudited) information assumes the
Merger occurred on January 1, 1994, and represents the combined historical
operating results of PTR and PACIFIC for the respective pro forma periods. No
material pro forma adjustments to revenue and expenses were required. The
weighted-average Common Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the
Merger conversion rate (0.611 Common Shares for each share of PACIFIC common
stock). The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the
results of operations that would have occurred had PACIFIC and PTR constituted
a single entity during such periods (in thousands, except per share amounts).

  Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, PTR completed a
subscription offering of 13.2 million Common Shares pursuant to which PTR
received net proceeds of $216.3 million. The subscription offering was
designed to allow shareholders of PTR to purchase Common Shares at the same
price at which PACIFIC shareholders acquired Common Shares in the Merger
($16.375 per Common Share). Security Capital Group purchased $50 million (3.1
million Common Shares at $16.375 per Common Share) in the subscription
offering pursuant to the oversubscription privilege.

  At January 29, 1997, PTR had contingent contracts or letters of intent,
subject to PTR's final due diligence, to acquire land for the near term
development of an estimated 3,507 multifamily units with an aggregate
estimated development cost of $264.5 million. At the same date, PTR also had
contingent contracts or letters of intent, subject to final due diligence, for
the acquisition of 964 additional operating multifamily units with a total
expected investment of $77.2 million, including planned renovations.
 
  At January 29, 1997, PTR had unfunded development commitments for
developments under construction of $158.8 million.
 
 Pre-Sale Agreements and Development Subsidiary
 
  To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring multifamily
communities which meet PTR's investment criteria, PTR has and will enter into
presale agreements with third-party owner/developers to acquire communities
developed by such owner/developers. PTR has and will fund such developments
through mortgage loans on the communities. For financial reporting purposes,
these transactions are recorded as real estate developments rather than
mortgage loans due to PTR's commitment to acquire these properties upon
completion.
 
  In addition, to provide greater flexibility for the use of land acquired for
development and to facilitate disposition of excess parcels, PTR has and will
make mortgage loans to PTR Development Services Incorporated ("PTR Development
Services") to purchase land for development. PTR may also fund developments of
multifamily communities by PTR Development Services where the particular
community or submarket does not meet PTR's objectives for long-term ownership
but presents an attractive investment opportunity. PTR owns all of the
preferred stock of PTR Development Services, which entitles PTR to
substantially all of the net operating cash flow (95%) of PTR Development
Services. An unaffiliated trust owns all of the common stock of PTR
Development Services. The common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5%
of net operating cash flow.
 
  As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding balance of development and mortgage
loans made by PTR to third-party owner/developers and PTR Development Services
aggregated $127.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The activities of
third-party owner/developers and PTR Development Services are consolidated
with PTR's activities and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
 
 Gains and Provision for Loss on Real Estate and Investments
 
  Each year, REIT Management formulates operating and capital plans based on
an ongoing active review of PTR's portfolio. Based in part upon the market
research provided by Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated and in
an effort to optimize its portfolio composition, PTR may from time to time
seek to dispose of assets that in management's view no longer meet PTR's long-
term investment objectives. The proceeds from these selected dispositions will
be redeployed, typically through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that in
PTR's view offer better long-term cash flow growth prospects. As a result of
this asset optimization strategy, PTR disposed of 22 multifamily communities
and one industrial building during 1996, representing aggregate net proceeds
of $291.1 million, and disposed of one multifamily property in the fourth
quarter of 1995, representing net proceeds of $8.8 million. For federal income
tax purposes, the majority of the dispositions were structured as tax-deferred
exchanges which deferred gain recognition. For financial reporting purposes,
however, the transactions qualified for profit recognition and aggregate gains
of $37.5 million and $2.6 million were recorded for 1996 and 1995,

Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"), adopted by PTR effective January 1, 1996, establishes
accounting standards for the review of long-lived assets to be held and used
for impairment

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121
also requires that certain long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, PTR did not
recognize any losses on the date it adopted SFAS No. 121.
 
  As part of PTR's asset optimization strategy, 19 communities and two non-
multifamily properties were held for disposition as of December 31, 1996. The
aggregate carrying value of properties held for disposition was $178.9 million
at December 31, 1996. Each property's carrying value is less than or equal to
its estimated fair market value, net of estimated costs to sell. Such
properties are not depreciated during the period for which they are determined
to be held for disposition. Subject to normal closing risks, PTR expects to
complete the disposition of all properties during 1997 and redeploy the net
proceeds from such dispositions through tax-deferred exchanges into the
acquisition of multifamily communities. The earnings from operations for
properties held for dispositions which are included in PTR's earnings from
operations for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $15.8 million, $15.3 million and $10.5
million, respectively.
 
  PTR's other real estate investments are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. As a
result of such evaluation, PTR recorded a provision for possible loss of
$220,000 and $1,600,000 during 1995 and 1994, respectively, relating to a non-
multifamily investment which was subsequently sold in October 1995. Also,
during 1995 it was determined that PTR could potentially be liable for certain
maintenance items under the terms of a 1993 master lease agreement on a non-
multifamily property which resulted in the recording of an estimated provision
for loss of $200,000. The recording of a provision for loss has no impact on
cash flow from operating activities. As of December 31, 1996, PTR's real
estate investments were carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of
estimated fair market value.
 
(5) MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
 Homestead Convertible Mortgage Notes
 
  In connection with the Homestead transaction described in Note 2 and
pursuant to fundings which have occurred under the funding commitment
agreement, PTR holds Homestead Notes. The Homestead Notes were created under a
master facility providing for aggregate fundings of up to $198.8 million in
exchange for Homestead Notes with a face amount of up to $221.3 million. Under
the terms of the funding commitment agreement, PTR receives approximately
$1.00 in principal amount of Homestead Notes for every $.90 funded (i.e., the
Homestead Notes are issued at a discount). The discount is amortized into
interest income over the term of the Homestead Notes using a method which
approximates the effective interest method. Maximum fundings are established
for each individual development project and specific liens are recorded to
secure payment. The Homestead Notes are cross-collateralized, which enables
PTR to foreclose or take possession of any one or more of the underlying
properties upon the occurrence of an event of default. The Homestead Notes
require semi-annual interest-only payments at 9% per annum of the face amount
of the Homestead Notes outstanding, are callable at the option of Homestead
after 5 years and mature on October 31, 2006.
 
  The Homestead Notes are convertible into Homestead common stock after March
31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50
of principal amount outstanding, subject to adjustment. The initial value
attributed to the conversion feature has been recorded as an additional
component of the Homestead Notes' balance and the corresponding discount is
being amortized into interest income over the term of the Homestead Notes
using a method which approximates the effective interest method. The
difference between the fair value of the Homestead Notes (assuming
conversion), based upon the trading price of Homestead's common stock on the
American Stock Exchange at December 31, 1996, ($18.00) and the amortized cost
of the Homestead Notes is reflected as an additional component of the
Homestead Notes' balance and as an unrealized holding gain in Shareholders'
Equity.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  As described in Note 2, PTR also received Homestead warrants in exchange for
entering into the funding commitment agreement. The warrants were distributed
to PTR shareholders with the Homestead common stock. The value associated with
the receipt of the Homestead warrants has been recorded as deferred revenue
which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying
1996 Balance Sheet and is being amortized into interest income using a method
which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the Homestead
Notes.
 
  The effective interest rate on the Homestead Notes as a percentage of the
"funded" balance, including amortization of discount and deferred revenue, is
approximately 12.4% per annum (10.7% excluding conversion feature and warrant-
related amortization).
 
  Following is a reconciliation of the Homestead Notes' components described
above to the amount reflected in the accompanying 1996 Balance Sheet (in
thousands).

  As of December 31, 1996, PTR had funded $101.2 million of its funding

agreement of approximately $97.6 million, which will be provided to Homestead
to fund developments as needed on development properties contributed by PTR.

(6) BORROWINGS
 
 Credit Facilities
 
  PTR has a $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit with Texas
Commerce Bank, National Association ("TCB"), as agent for a group of financial
institutions (collectively, the "Lenders"). The line matures August 1998 and
may be extended annually for an additional year with the approval of the
Lenders. The line of credit bears interest at the greater of prime (8.25% at
December 31, 1996) or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or at PTR's option,
LIBOR (5.50% at December 31, 1996) plus 1.125% (6.625% at December 31, 1996).
The spread over LIBOR can vary from LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based
upon the rating of PTR's senior unsecured debt. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance. The commitment
fee was $396,000, $502,000 and $224,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
  A summary of PTR's line of credit borrowings is as follows (dollars in

 Covenants
 
  PTR's debt instruments generally contain certain covenants common to the
type of facility or borrowing, including financial covenants establishing
minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan to value ratios. PTR was
in compliance with all covenants pertaining to its debt instruments at
December 31, 1996.
 
(7) DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  PTR's distribution strategy is to distribute what it believes is a
conservative percentage of cash flow while maintaining its status as a REIT
which generally requires annual distributions of at least 95% of PTR's taxable
income.

  PTR announces the following year's projected annual distribution level after
the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 10, 1996 Board meeting, the Board announced an increase in the annual
distribution level from $1.24 to $1.30 per Common Share and declared the first
quarter 1997 distribution of $0.325 per Common Share. The first quarter
distribution was paid on February 20, 1997 to shareholders of record on
February 7, 1997. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of
the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results
of PTR.
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares, PTR is restricted from
declaring or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless
all cumulative distributions with respect to the Preferred Shares have been
paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for Preferred Share distributions
that have been declared.
 
  PTR made total cash distributions of $1.24 per Common Share in 1996, $1.15
per Common Share in 1995 and $1.00 per Common Share in 1994. In addition, on
November 12, 1996, PTR distributed 0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock
and warrants to purchase 0.084326 shares of Homestead common stock per Common
Share in the Homestead Distribution to each holder of record of Common Shares
on October 29, 1996.
 
  For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
cash distributions paid on the Common Shares in 1995 and 1994 and the estimated
taxability for 1996:

  The Homestead securities distributed by PTR to each holder of Common Shares
in the Homestead Distribution were valued at $2.16 per PTR Common Share for
federal income tax purposes, of which $1.06 was taxable as ordinary income,
$0.19 was taxable as a capital gain and $0.91 was treated as a return of
capital.
 
  On July 21, 1994, in addition to the normal Common Share distributions paid,
PTR redeemed the shareholder purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights
Agreement dated as of February 23, 1990, as amended. Pursuant to the
redemption, each holder of record at the close of business on July 21, 1994 was
entitled to receive $0.01 per shareholder purchase right. The redemption price
was paid on August 12, 1994 and was taxable as ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes.

  Due to the increase in the conversion ratio (Note 8) resulting from the
Homestead Distribution to holders of Common Shares, holders of Series A
Preferred Shares were deemed to have received a distribution of $2.43 on
November 12, 1996 for federal income tax purposes. Of this amount, $1.19 was
taxable as ordinary income, $0.22 was taxable as a capital gain and $1.02 was
treated as a return of capital.
 
  PTR's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1996 has not been filed, and
the taxability information for 1996 is based upon the best available data.
PTR's tax returns for prior years have not been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service and, therefore, the taxability of the dividends is subject to
change.
 
(8) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
 Shares of Beneficial Interest
 
  At December 31, 1996, 150,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, par value
$1.00 per share, were authorized. The Board is authorized to issue, from the
authorized but unissued shares of PTR, preferred shares in series and to
establish from time to time the number of preferred shares to be included in
such series and to fix the designation and any preferences, conversion and
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions,
qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of each
series.
 
 Series A Preferred Shares
 
  The Series A Preferred Shares issued in November 1993 have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference at
December 31, 1996 of $162.4 million plus any accrued but unpaid distributions.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled only to limited voting
rights under certain conditions. During 1996, 2,705,000 of PTR's Series A
Preferred Shares were converted, at the option of the holders, into 3,294,000
Common Shares (an implied conversion ratio of 1.2178 Common Shares for each
Series A Preferred Share, which is a combination of the original conversion
ratio of 1.2162 and the adjusted ratio discussed below).

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  As a result of the Homestead Distribution, PTR adjusted the conversion price
of its Series A Preferred Shares, effective as of the opening of business on
October 30, 1996, from $20.556 to $18.561 per Common Share (a conversion ratio
of 1.3469 Common Shares for each Series A Preferred Share), as required by the
Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Shares. Distributions
on the Series A Preferred Shares are cumulative in an amount per share equal to
the greater of $1.75 per annum or the annualized quarterly PTR distribution
rate on the Common Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are
convertible. The Series A Preferred Share dividends are payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year.
Based on the projected 1997 distribution level of $1.30 per Common Share, the
projected 1997 dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares is $1.751 per share.
The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of PTR after
November 30, 2003.
 
 Series B Preferred Shares
 
  The Series B Preferred Shares issued in May 1995 have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference of
$105.0 million plus any accrued but unpaid distributions. The net proceeds
(after underwriting commissions and other offering costs) to PTR from the sale
of the Series B Preferred Shares were $101.4 million. On and after May 24,
2000, the Series B Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the option of
PTR, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, to the redemption date. The
redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and
unpaid distributions) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other
capital shares of PTR, which may include shares of other series of preferred
shares. The holders of the Series B Preferred Shares have no preemptive rights
with respect to any shares of the capital securities of PTR or any other
securities of PTR convertible into or carrying rights or options to purchase
any such shares. The Series B Preferred Shares have no stated maturity and are
not subject to any sinking fund or other obligation of PTR to redeem or retire
the Series B Preferred Shares and are not convertible into any other securities
of PTR. In addition, holders of the Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to
receive, when and as declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for
the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at the
rate of 9% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $2.25 per
share). Such distributions are cumulative from the date of original issue and
are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September
and December.
 
  Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are collectively
referred to as "Preferred Shares." The net proceeds from the sale of Preferred
Shares were used primarily for the acquisition, development and renovation of
multifamily communities, and to repay revolving credit balances incurred for
such purposes.
 
  Both series of Preferred Shares rank on a parity as to distributions and
liquidation proceeds.
 
  All dividends due and payable on Preferred Shares have been accrued and paid
as of the end of each fiscal year and, accordingly, are reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.
 
 Option Plan
 
  In January 1987, PTR adopted its Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the
"1987 Plan"). There are 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon
exercise of options which could have been granted to independent Trustees under
the 1987 Plan. All options granted are for a term of five years and are
exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise price of the options granted may
not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. At December 31,
1996, there were 32,000 options for Common Shares outstanding and exercisable
under the 1987 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $10.625 to $21.50 per
Common Share. No further options may be granted under the 1987 Plan.

 Outstanding Warrants
 
  As a result of the Merger discussed in Note 3, warrants to acquire 140,530
Common Shares at an exercise price of $14.21 per share were outstanding as of
December 31, 1996. These warrants are subject to adjustment to prevent
dilution and expire on November 8, 1999.
 
 Ownership Restrictions and Significant Shareholder
 
  PTR's Restated Declaration of Trust and the Articles Supplementary governing
the Preferred Shares restrict beneficial ownership (or ownership generally
attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of PTR's outstanding shares
by a single person, or persons acting as a group, to 9.8% of the Common Shares
and 25% of each series of Preferred Shares. The purpose of these provisions
are to assist in protecting and preserving PTR's REIT status and to protect
the interests of shareholders in takeover transactions by preventing the
acquisition of a substantial block of shares unless the acquiror makes a cash
tender offer for all outstanding shares. For PTR to qualify as a REIT under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, not more than 50% in value of
its outstanding capital shares may be owned by five or fewer individuals at
any time during the last half of PTR's taxable year. The provision permits
five persons to acquire up to a maximum of 9.8% each of the Common Shares, or
an aggregate of 49% of the outstanding Common Shares, and thus assists the
Trustees in protecting and preserving PTR's REIT status for tax purposes.
 
  Common Shares owned by a person or group of persons in excess of the 9.8%
limit are subject to redemption by PTR. The provision does not apply where a
majority of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, waives such limit
after determining that the eligibility of PTR to qualify as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes will not be jeopardized or the disqualification of PTR as
a REIT is advantageous to the shareholders.
 
  The Board has permitted Security Capital Group, the owner of the REIT
Manager (see Note 9), to acquire up to 49% of PTR's fully converted Common
Shares. Security Capital Group's ownership of Common Shares is attributed for
tax purposes to its shareholders. Security Capital Group owned 36.3% of PTR's
total outstanding Common Shares at December 31, 1996. Pursuant to an agreement
between Security Capital Group and PTR, Security Capital Group has agreed to
acquire no more than 49% of the fully converted Common Shares except pursuant
to an all-cash tender offer for all Common Shares held open for 90 days.
Security Capital Group would have no limitation on making a tender offer if an
unrelated third party commences such a tender offer.
 
 Purchase Rights
 
  In 1994, the Board authorized the distribution of one preferred share
purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each Common Share outstanding at the
close of business on July 21, 1994. Holders of additional Common Shares issued
after July 21, 1994 and prior to the expiration of the Purchase Rights on July
21, 2004 will be entitled to one Purchase Right for each additional Common
Share.
 
  Each Purchase Right entitles the holder under certain circumstances to
purchase from PTR one one-hundredth of a share of a series of Junior
Participating Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share (the "Participating
Preferred Shares"), at a price of $60.00 per one-hundredth of a Participating
Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a
person or group of persons acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
fully converted Common Shares (49% in the case of Security Capital Group and
certain defined affiliates), commences or announces a tender offer or exchange
offer which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of
persons of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (49% in the case of
Security Capital Group and certain defined affiliates) or files or announces
their intention to file with any regulatory authority an application seeking
approval of any transaction which would result in the beneficial ownership by
a person of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (49% in the case of
 
                                      76

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Security Capital Group and certain defined affiliates). Under certain
circumstances, each Purchase Right entitles the holder to purchase, at the
Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of Common Shares having
a market value of twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The acquisition
of PTR pursuant to certain mergers or other business transactions would
entitle each holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise
price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a market value
at that time equal to twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase
Rights will expire in July 2004 and are subject to redemption in whole, but
not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Purchase Right payable in cash, shares of
PTR or any other form of consideration determined by the Board.
 
 Shelf Registration
 
  On September 27, 1996, PTR filed a $300 million shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities can be issued in
the form of unsecured debt and preferred shares of beneficial interest on an
as-needed basis, subject to PTR's ability to effect an offering on
satisfactory terms. As of December 31, 1996, $170 million in securities were
available to be issued under this shelf registration.
 
(9) REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Effective March 1, 1991, PTR entered into a REIT management agreement (the
"REIT Management Agreement") with Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the
"REIT Manager"), pursuant to which the REIT Manager assumed day-to-day
management of PTR. All officers of PTR are employees of the REIT Manager and
PTR currently has no employees. The REIT Manager provides both strategic and
day-to-day management of PTR, including research, investment analysis,
acquisition, development, dispositions, property management, capital markets,
legal, accounting and other administrative services. The REIT Manager is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital Group (see Note 8).
 
  The REIT Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of
$855,000 plus 16% of cash flow as defined in the REIT Management Agreement in
excess of $4,837,000, payable monthly. In the REIT Management Agreement, cash
flow is calculated by reference to PTR's cash flow from operations plus (i)
fees paid to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary expenses incurred at the
request of the independent Trustees of PTR and (iii) 33% of any interest paid
by PTR on convertible subordinated debentures (of which there has been none
since inception of the REIT Management Agreement); and after deducting (i)
regularly scheduled principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon
payments) for debt with commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii)
actual or assumed principal and interest payments on long-term debt, (iii)
interest income received in connection with the Homestead Notes resulting from
the Homestead transaction discussed in Notes 2 and 5 and (iv) distributions
actually paid with respect to any nonconvertible preferred shares of
beneficial interest of PTR. The REIT Management Agreement provides that the
long-term unsecured debt described in Note 6 is treated as if it had regularly
scheduled principal and interest payments similar to a 20-year, level monthly
payment, fully amortizing mortgage, and the assumed principal and interest
payments are deducted from cash flow in determining the fee. Cash flow does
not include dividend and interest income from PTR Development Services,
realized gains or losses from dispositions of investments or income from cash
equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.25% per year
on the average daily balance of cash equivalent investments.
 
  PTR is obligated to reimburse the REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred
by the REIT Manager on behalf of PTR relating to PTR's operations, consisting
primarily of external professional fees, offering costs and travel expenses.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by PTR annually, subject to a
determination by the independent Trustees (who receive performance benchmark
information verified by an independent third party)

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
that the REIT Manager's performance has been satisfactory and that the
compensation payable to the REIT Manager is fair. Each of PTR and the REIT
Manager may terminate the REIT Management Agreement on 60 days' notice.
 
  SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"), a subsidiary of
Security Capital Group, has managed and currently manages a substantial
majority of PTR's operating multifamily communities (91.3% as of January 29,
1997, based on total expected investment). Homestead Realty Services
Incorporated ("Homestead Realty Services"), a subsidiary of Security Capital
Group, managed all of PTR's operating Homestead Village(R) extended-stay
lodging assets through October 17, 1996 (See Note 2).
 
  PTR recently announced that it received a proposal from Security Capital
Group to exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares.
As a result of the proposed transaction, PTR would become an internally
managed REIT and Security Capital Group would remain PTR's largest
shareholder. The Board has formed a special committee comprised of independent
Trustees to review the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is
subject to approval by both the special committee and the full Board. If the
Board approves the transaction, a proxy statement, subject to review by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common
shareholders prior to a shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  PTR is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. PTR does not believe that the results of any of
such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of
operations.
 
  PTR is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence investigation procedures, PTR has conducted Phase I environmental
assessments on each property prior to acquisition since 1984. The cost of
complying with environmental regulations was not material to PTR's results of
operations for any of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. PTR is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its
communities which is likely to have a material adverse effect on PTR's
financial condition or results of operations.
 
  See Notes 4 and 5 for development and acquisition commitments.
 
(12) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  The following disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments
was determined by PTR based on available market information and valuation
methodologies believed to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable
judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these
estimates and accordingly they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that
PTR could realize upon disposition.
 
  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amount of certain financial
instruments employed by PTR, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their
fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Similarly, the carrying value of lines of credit balances approximates fair
value as of those dates since the interest rate fluctuates based on published
market rates. As discussed in Note 5, the Homestead Notes outstanding at
December 31, 1996 are reflected at fair value in the accompanying balance
sheet. PTR believes the carrying value of the other mortgage notes receivable
approximates fair value. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, based on the
borrowings available to PTR, the carrying value of the long-term debt and
mortgages was a reasonable estimation of their fair values.
 
 Derivative Financial Instruments
 
  PTR has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and
does not use them for trading purposes. PTR occasionally utilizes derivative
financial instruments as hedges in anticipation of future transactions to
manage well-defined interest rate risk.
 
  In anticipation of a 1997 debt offering, PTR entered into interest rate
contracts in 1996 with notional amounts aggregating $50 million which PTR
plans to terminate when the anticipated offering is completed. As of December
31, 1996, the fair value of these interest rate contracts was an unrealized
loss of approximately $831,000 (approximately $69,250 as of March 10, 1997)
based on quoted market prices or estimates obtained from brokers. There were
no derivative financial instruments outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
 
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On March 10, 1997, PTR borrowed $60 million under a short-term borrowing
agreement with a financial institution. The loan matures on September 10,
1997, but provides for early repayment at PTR's option on the 10th day of each
month during the term. Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of LIBOR
plus 0.60% (6.0375% at March 10, 1997). These proceeds were used to pay down
PTR's $350 million line of credit which had an outstanding balance of $151.5
million after the paydown on March 10, 1997.

                             6.600% NOTE DUE 1999

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter called the
"Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of FIFTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS on October 15, 1999 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from October 21, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on April 15,
1997, at the rate of 6.600% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed,
<PAGE>
 
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture.  Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on, and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
                                                --------  -------             
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto
located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $15,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

 behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled

State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such

                             7.150% NOTE DUE 2003

          SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on October 15, 2003 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from October 21, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on April 15,
1997, at the rate of 7.150% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such

Indenture.  Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
                                                --------  -------             
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto
located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or
for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given
the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.  The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities.  No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

                             7.250% NOTE DUE 2004

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter called the
"Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on October 15, 2004 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from October 21, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on April 15,
1997, at the rate of 7.250% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such
<PAGE>
 
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.  Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
                                                --------  -------             
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto
located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities.  No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

                             7.300% NOTE DUE 2005

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on October 15, 2005 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from October 21, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on April 15,
1997, at the rate of 7.300% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such
<PAGE>
 
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.  Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
                                                --------  -------             
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto
located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

                        SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
                             7.375% NOTE DUE 2006

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter called the
"Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on October 15, 2006 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from October 21, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on April 15,
1997, at the rate of 7.375% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such
<PAGE>
 
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture. Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
                                                --------  -------             
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto
located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-

Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such

Record Date for such interest which shall be the January 15 or July 15 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required

by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Payment of the
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security will
be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in
the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be

made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of
the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

                             7.625% NOTE DUE 2009

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter called the
"Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on August 1, 2009 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from August 8, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing on February 1,
1997, at the rate of 7.625% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the January 15 or July 15 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required
<PAGE>
 
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of the
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security will
be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in
the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be
- --------  -------                                                              
made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of
the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                                      -3-

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such

                             7.650% NOTE DUE 2010

          SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on August 1, 2010 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from August 8, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing on February 1,
1997, at the rate of 7.650% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the January 15 or July 15 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required
<PAGE>
 
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Payment of the
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security will
be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in
the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be
- --------  -------                                                              
made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of
the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

          Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

          Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of
the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than
30 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of
(i) the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

          The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                                      -3-

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities.  No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

                             8.100% NOTE DUE 2015

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter
called the "Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on August 1, 2015 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from August 8, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing on February 1,
1997, at the rate of 8.100% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid

duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular

or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required

principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security will
be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in
the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be
- --------  -------                                                              
made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of
the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

                             8.150% NOTE DUE 2016

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter called the
"Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS on August 1, 2016 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from August 8, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing on February 1,
1997, at the rate of 8.150% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the January 15 or July 15 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required

by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Payment of the
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security will
be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in
the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be
- --------  -------                                                              
made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of
the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $20,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
(exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or
accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate
(determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective
dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such
redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the
Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

                                      -3-

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and
interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities.  No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

                             6.500% NOTE DUE 2026

     SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter called the
"Company," which term shall include any successor under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE &
CO., or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of FIFTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS on October 15, 2026 and to pay interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereon from October 21, 1996, or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
in arrears on April 15 and October 15 in each year, commencing on April 15,
1997, at the rate of 6.500% per annum, until the entire principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest which shall be the April 1 or October 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series
not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be
listed,
<PAGE>
 
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture. Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on, and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the
                                                --------  -------             
option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto
located inside the United States.

     Each Security of this series is one of a duly authorized issue of
securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 1994,
between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee,
as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 2, 1994,
(as so supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as successor trustee (herein called the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with
respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $15,000,000.

     Securities of this series may be repaid on October 15, 1999 (the "Option
Payment Date"), at the option of the Holder, at a repurchase price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest
thereon to the Option Payment Date. In order for a Holder to exercise this
option, the Company must receive at its offices during the period beginning on
August 15, 1999 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on September 15,
1999 this Security with the section "Option to Elect Repayment on October 15,
1999" properly completed. Any such notice received by the Company during the
period beginning on August 15, 1999 and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard
time) on September 15, 1999 shall be irrevocable. The repayment option may be
exercised for less than the entire principal amount of the Securities, so long
as the principal amount that is to be repaid is equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility
(including time of receipt) and acceptance of

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
any Security for repayment will be determined by the Company whose determination
will be final and binding.

     Failure by the Company to repay any Security of this series when required
as described in the preceding paragraph and Article Thirteen of the Indenture
will result in an Event of Default under the Indenture.

     Securities of this series may be redeemed at any time after October 15,
1999 at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more
than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption
price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Securities being
redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-
Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

          "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate
present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each
dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive
of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would
have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or accelerated
payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semiannual basis,
such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third
Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or
declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such
principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated
payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities being redeemed or paid.

          "Reinvestment Rate" means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields
on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the
nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most
recent

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-
Whole Amount shall be used.

          "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such
statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the
Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated
by the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding
for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or
after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities then Outstanding affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security are payable duly endorsed by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of
this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or trustee, as such, of the Company or of
any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security
by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities of this series.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such
Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such
CUSIP numbers as printed on the Securities, and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed hereon.

    Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled
to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed by the undersigned officer.

                         Duties and Rights of Manager
                         ----------------------------

     2.1    Appointment of Manager.  During the Term of this Agreement, the
            ----------------------                                         
Manager agrees, for and in consideration of the compensation hereinafter
provided, and the Owner hereby grants to Manager the right, to supervise and
direct the leasing, management and operation of the Project.  Everything
performed by Manager under this Agreement shall be done as an independent
contractor of Owner.  All obligations or expenses incurred hereunder, including
the pro rata portion used in connection with or for the benefit of the Project
of all purchases of or contracts for sales or services in bulk or volume which
Manager may obtain for discount or convenience in connection with its operation
of other apartment projects, shall be for the account of, on behalf of, and at
the expense of Owner, expect as otherwise specifically provided; provided,
however, Owner shall not be obligated to reimburse Manager for expenses for
office equipment or office supplies of Manager (unless incurred for the
Project), for any overhead expenses of Manager incurred with respect to its
general offices, costs relating to accounting services performed hereunder, or
for any salaries of employees of Manager paid with respect to duties performed
on a supervisory level (except when Manager's supervisory employees are
performing tasks otherwise performed by a resident manager or (to the extent of
the savings achieved) where specialists are employed whose involvement creates
savings in performance of required duties).  Owner shall also have no obligation
to reimburse Manager for that portion of the salary of a resident manager which
represents payment for services rendered in respect to apartment projects other
than the Project.

     2.2    General Operation.  Subject to the limitations imposed by the
            -----------------                                            
Budget from time to time, Manager shall operate the Project in the same manner
as is customary and usual in operation of comparable facilities, and shall
provide such services as are customarily provided by operators of apartment
projects of comparable class and standing consistent with the Project's
facilities.  In addition to the other obligations of Manager set forth herein,
Manager shall render the following services and perform the following duties for
Owner in a faithful, diligent and efficient manner:  (a) maintain businesslike
relations with tenants whose service requests shall be received, considered and
recorded in systematic fashion in order to show the action taken with respect to
each; (b) collect all monthly rentals due from tenants and rent from users or
lessees of other non-dwelling facilities in the Project, if any; request,
demand, collect, receive and receipt for any and all charges or rents which
become due to Owner, and at Owner's expense take such legal action as may be
necessary or desirable to evict tenants delinquent in payment of monthly rental
or other charges (security deposits, late charges, etc.); (c) prepare or cause
to be prepared for execution by the Owner all forms, reports and returns, if
any, required to be filed by the Owner under applicable federal, state or local
laws and any other requirements relating to the employment of personnel
(anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, however, Manager
shall not be obligated to prepare any of Owner's state or federal income tax
returns); (d) use all reasonable efforts at all times during the term of this
Agreement to operate and maintain the Project according to the highest standards
achievable consistent with the operation of comparable quality units; (e)
maintain the Project as a safe and secure environment and notify Owner of any
security risks or issues related to the Project that

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
become known to Manager; (f) advertise when necessary, at Owner's expense, the
availability for rental of the Project units and display "for rent" or other
similar signs upon the Project, it being understood that Manager may install one
or more signs on or about the Project stating that same is under management of
Manager and may use, in a tasteful manner, Manager's name and logo in any
display advertising which may be done on behalf of the Project; and (g) sign,
renew and cancel tenant leases for the Project, in compliance with standards
established by Owner under the provisions of written apartment leases to bona
fide individuals, for monthly rentals and otherwise on terms established by
criteria approved from time to time by Owner, based upon Manager's
recommendations; provided, however, that Project Employees may occupy apartment
units on a month-to-month basis with or without an executed tenant lease.

     2.3    Budget.
            ------ 

     (a)    Manager shall submit for Owner's approval no later than one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the beginning of each successive Fiscal Year the
Budget for the ensuing Fiscal Year. The Budget shall be approved or rejected by
Owner within thirty (30) days after receipt. If Owner fails to approve or
disapprove the Budget within such period, the Budget shall be deemed to be
approved. In the event Owner rejects the Budget, Owner and Manager shall jointly
prepare the Budget as soon as may be reasonably possible. Until a new Budget is
approved, Manager shall operate on the Budget approved for the prior Fiscal
Year, with the exception of expenses for personnel, which must be increased
based upon existing competitive conditions, and expenses relating to taxes,
insurance and utilities. The Budget shall reflect the schedule of monthly rents
proposed for the new fiscal year and shall also constitute a major control under
which Manager shall operate the Project, and there shall be no substantial
deviations therefrom except as permitted by Section 2.6(a). Consequently,
without the prior consent of Owner, no expenses may be incurred or commitments
made by Manager in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Project
which exceed the total expenses allocated for the period in question in the
approved Budget by more than ten percent (10%). The limitation in the preceding
sentence, with respect to incurring any expense not covered by the Budget, shall
not apply to expenses relating to taxes, insurance or utilities or expenditures
required due to emergencies which threaten life or property or could result in
civil or criminal liability for Owner and/or Manager. Manager makes no guaranty,
warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the accuracy of any
Budget, and Owner agrees that they are intended as good faith estimates only.

     (b)    In the event there shall be a substantial discrepancy between the
results of operations for any month and the estimated results of operations for
such month as set forth in the Budget, Manager shall upon request furnish to
Owner within twenty (20) days after the expiration of such month a written
explanation as to why the discrepancy occurred.  If substantial variations have
occurred or are anticipated by Manager during the course of any Fiscal Year,
Manager, upon Owner's reasonable request, shall prepare and submit to Owner a
revised forecast of annual income and expenses for the remainder of the Fiscal
Year based on actual year-to-date income and expenses and Manager's forecast of
income and expenses for the remainder of the Fiscal Year.

     2.4    Manager and Other Personnel.
            --------------------------- 

     (a)    Manager shall investigate, hire, train, instruct, pay, promote,
discharge and supervise the work of the Project Employees and shall supervise,
through the Project Employees, the hiring, promotion, discharge and work of all
other operating and service employees of Manager performing services in or about
the Project, all in the name of Manager.  Since some of the Project Employees
may need to reside at the Project and be available full time in order to perform
properly the duties of his/her employment, it is further understood and agreed
that the Project Employees (including his/her spouse and dependent children), in
addition to their salary and fringe benefits, may receive the normal maintenance
customarily provided managers, assistant managers, leasing agents, and
maintenance personnel of an apartment project, including employee housing, use
of all Project facilities and reimbursement for any and all expenses which such
persons may reasonably incur in the performance of their duties.  Any such
housing allowance that is provided will be considered as a payroll cost under
the Budget, and the amount of housing allowance will be credited as apartment
rental income.

     (b)    The Project Employees shall be employees of Manager.  Owner shall
reimburse Manager monthly, in advance, for the total aggregate compensation,
including salary and fringe benefits, payable with respect to the Project
Employees, any temporary employees residing at the Project and, on an agreed
basis, the Project's proportionate share of such costs relating to roving
maintenance, off-site operating staff and similar personnel.  The term "fringe
benefits" as used herein shall mean and include the employer's contribution of
F.I.C.A., unemployment compensation and other employment taxes, workmen's
compensation, group life and accident and health insurance premiums, performance
bonuses, and disability and other similar benefits paid or payable by the
employer with respect to employees in other apartment projects operated by
Manager.

     2.5    Contracts and Supplies.  Manager shall, except as provided herein,
            ----------------------                                    
in the name of and on behalf of Owner and at Owner's expense, and without
compensation directly or indirectly to Manager, except as expressly set forth
herein or agreed to by Owner or Manager, consummate arrangements with
concessionaires, licensees, tenants or other intended users of the facilities of
the Project, shall, except as provided herein, on Owner's behalf, enter into
contracts for the furnishing to the Project of electricity, gas, water, steam,
telephone, cleaning, vermin extermination, furnace and air conditioning
maintenance, security protection, pest control and any other utilities, services
and concessions which are provided in connection with the maintenance and
operation of an apartment project in accordance with standards comparable to
those prevailing in other similar apartment projects, and shall place purchase
orders for such equipment, tools, appliances, materials and supplies as are
necessary to properly maintain the Project.

     2.6    Alterations, Repairs and Maintenance.
            ------------------------------------ 

     (a)    Manager shall make or install, or cause to be made and installed,
or do or cause to be done at Owner's expense and in the name of Owner, all
necessary or desirable repairs,

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
interior and exterior cleaning, painting and decorating, plumbing, alterations,
replacements, improvements and other normal maintenance and repair work on and
to the Project as are customarily made by Manager in the operation of apartment
projects; provided, however, that no unbudgeted expenditure in excess of
$5,000.00 per item or a total of $20,000.00 annually may be made for such
purposes without the prior approval of Owner, unless emergency repairs involving
manifest danger to life or property are immediately necessary for the
preservation of the safety of the Project, or to avoid criminal or civil
liability or for the safety of the tenants, or are required to avoid the
suspension of any necessary service to the Project, in which event such
expenditures may be made by the Manager without prior approval and irrespective
of the cost limitations imposed by this Section 2.6, provided that Owner is
immediately thereafter given notice of such situation and all costs so incurred.

     (b)    In accordance with the terms of the Budget or after consultation
with, and written approval by, Owner (except in the case of emergency, in which
case such consultation shall be by telephone), Manager shall, at Owner's
expense, from time to time during the term hereof, make all required capital
replacements or repairs to the Project.  Subject to obtaining Owner's prior
written approval in regard to sums necessary to cover costs of such capital
replacements or repairs, Manager shall first use any excess funds held pursuant
to Section 4.5 and then funds furnished by Owner.

     2.7    Licenses and Permits.  Manager shall apply for, obtain, and
            --------------------                                       
maintain, in the name and at the expense of Owner, all licenses and permits
(including deposits and bonds) required of Owner or Manager in connection with
the management and operation of the Project. Owner agrees to execute and deliver
any and all applications and other documents and to otherwise cooperate to the
fullest extent with Manager in applying for, obtaining and maintaining such
licenses and permits.

     2.8    Compliance with Laws.  Manager, at Owner's expense, shall use all
            --------------------                                             
reasonable efforts to cause all such acts and things to be done in and about the
Project as Owner and/or Manager shall deem necessary, and Owner covenants
throughout the term of this Agreement at its expense to comply with all laws,
regulations and requirements of any federal, state or municipal government
having jurisdiction respecting the use or manner of use of the Project or the
maintenance or operation thereof.

     2.9    Legal Proceedings.  Manager shall institute, in its own name or
            -----------------                                              
in the name of Owner, but in any event at the expense of Owner, any and all
legal actions or proceedings which Manager deems reasonable to collect charges,
rent or other income from the Project or to dispossess tenants or other persons
in possession, or to cancel, terminate, or enforce any lease, license or
concession agreement for the breach thereof or default thereunder by the tenant,
licensee or concessionaire.

     2.10   Debts of Owner.  In the performance of its duties as Manager,
            --------------                                               
Manager shall act solely on behalf of Owner in Manager's capacity as an
independent contractor. Except as provided in Section 2.1, all debts and
liabilities to third persons incurred by Manager (which are

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement), in the course of
its operation and management of the Project shall be the debts and liabilities
of the Owner only, and Manager shall not be liable for (and is hereby
indemnified in respect of) any such debts or liabilities, except to the extent
Manager has exceeded its authority hereunder.

             Procedure for Handling Receipts and Operating Capital
             -----------------------------------------------------

     4.1    Bank Deposits.  All monies received by Manager for or on behalf
            -------------                                                  
of Owner shall be deposited by Manager with the Depository.  Manager shall
maintain separate accounts for such funds consistent with the system of
accounting of the Project.  All funds on deposit shall be and remain under the
sole and exclusive control of Manager, subject to the provisions hereof.
Concurrently, with its execution and delivery hereof, Owner has deposited with
Manager the Working Capital Reserve.  All monies of Owner held by Manager
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be held by Manager in trust for the benefit
of Owner to be held and disbursed as herein provided, and shall not, unless
Owner otherwise has agreed or directed, be commingled with the funds of any
other person, including Manager or any affiliate of Manager.  However, Owner has
specifically approved the use of Manager's Central Disbursement account and the
movement of Owner's funds into that account when payments are made.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Manager shall be strictly liable for the proper
application of all funds of Owner held by Manager in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.

     4.2    Security Deposits.  Subject to Owner's direction, a portion of
            -----------------                                             
security deposits collected in connection with the leasing of apartment units
shall be delivered to Owner who shall make same available to Manager for return
to tenants in accordance with their respective tenant leases to the extent Gross
Receipts are insufficient to repay same.  Manager shall comply with all
applicable laws with respect to such security deposits.  All funds held by
Manager representing security deposits shall at all times be the property of
Owner, subject to all applicable laws with respect thereto.

     4.3    Disbursement of Deposits.  Manager shall disburse and pay all
            ------------------------                                     
funds on behalf of and in the name of Owner in such amounts and at such times as
the same are required in connection with the ownership, maintenance and
operation of the Project on account of all taxes, assessments and charges of
every kind imposed by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Project, and all costs and expenses of maintaining, operating and supervising
the operation of the Project, including, but not limited to, salaries, fringe
benefits and expenses of the Project Employees, insurance premiums, legal and
external accounting fees and the cost and expense of utilities, services and
concessions.  If Owner requests Manager to place or create any services for the
Project which are not generally provided at other comparable apartment complexes
managed by Manager, Owner shall reimburse Manager for any costs of Manager's
staff allocable to the placement and/or creation of such services.

     4.4    Working Capital.  In addition to the funds derived from the
            ---------------                                            
operation of the Project and the Working Capital Reserve, Owner shall furnish
and maintain in the operating accounts in the Depository such other funds as may
be necessary to discharge financial commitments required to efficiently operate
the Project, meet all payrolls and satisfy, before delinquency, all accounts
payable.  Manager shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to the
furnishing of such funds.

     4.5    Excess Funds.  Any operating funds in excess of the Working
            ------------                                               
Capital Reserve shall be utilized at Owner's option, to pay debt service or
shall be transferred to a bank account opened and maintained solely by Owner;
provided, however, that Manager shall not be required to make any such transfer
if the transfer would reduce the balance of operating funds below an amount
equal to the Working Capital Reserve.  Owner shall designate the bank in which
the operating funds are maintained, and Manager shall have no liability for loss
of operating funds due to insolvency of such institution, even though the amount
of funds maintained exceeds the available federal or other deposit insurance.

     4.6    Authorized Signatories.  In addition to any signatory designated
            ----------------------                                          
by Owner, any persons from time to time designated by Manager shall be
authorized signatories on all bank accounts established by Manager hereunder and
shall have authority to make disbursements from such accounts.  Funds may be
withdrawn from all bank accounts established by Manager, in accordance with this
Article IV, only upon the signature of an individual who has been granted that
authority by Manager or Owner.  All persons who are authorized signatories or
who in any way handle funds for the Project shall be bonded in the minimum
amount of $500,000.00.  Any expense relating to such bonds for on-site employees
shall be borne by Owner and for off-site employees by Manager.

the books of account of the Project.

     (b)    Within twenty (20) days after the end of such Fiscal Year, Manager
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Owner an income and expense

     (c)    In the event that Owner or Owner's Mortgagee(s) requires an audit,
the Manager shall cooperate with the auditors.  Owner shall pay all costs and
fees of the external auditors.

     (d)    Owner may request and Manager shall provide without further cost to
Owner, when available, such monthly, quarterly and/or annual leasing and
management reports that relate to the operations of the property as Manager
customarily provides the owners of properties it manages. If additional reports
are required, Manager shall quote Owner an additional fee for providing such
additional reports and, if Owner thereafter requests such reports, Owner shall
pay Manager such additional fee.

     5.3    Expenses.  All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
            --------

            ------------------                                             
shall be solely liable for the costs and expenses of maintaining and operating
the Project incurred by Owner or by Manager in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, and shall pay, or Manager shall pay on Owner's behalf, all such
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the salaries of all Project
Employees.

     6.2    Owner's Right of Inspection and Review.  Owner and its accountants,
            --------------------------------------                
attorneys and agents shall have the right to enter upon any part of the Project
at all reasonable times during the term of this Agreement for any reason,
including, without limitation, examining or inspecting the Project or examining
or making extracts of books and records of the Project, but any inspection shall
be done with as little disruption to the business of the Project as possible.
Books and records of the Project shall be kept, beginning the date hereof, at
the Project or at the location where any central accounting and bookkeeping
services are performed by Manager, but at all times shall be the property of
Owner.

     6.3    Indemnity.  Owner, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend,
            ---------                                                     
indemnify and hold harmless Manager, its partners, employees, agents,
contractors and affiliates against and from any and all claims, losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees,
arising out of injuries or damages to persons or property, by reason of any
cause whatsoever, occurring on or around the Project. If the Owner's general
liability policy does not automatically include the manager as an additional
insured, Owner agrees to list the Manager as an additional insured on any and
all liability insurance policies maintained by Owner with insurance to that
effect. The indemnity set forth herein shall not apply if the claim results from
either (i) Manager's gross negligence; (ii) Manager's willful misconduct; or

2.   The Loans.
     --------- 

     2.1    Advances.  (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this 
            --------     
Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans (other than Swing Loans)
prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date to the Borrower not to exceed an
amount (in the aggregate, the "Commitment") at any one time outstanding equal to
                               ----------
the Lender's Lender Commitment. Each such request for a Loan by Borrower shall
be deemed a request for a Loan from each Lender equal to such

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
Lender's Percentage of the aggregate amount so requested, and such aggregate
amount shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000.00 and equal to a
multiple of $250,000.00, or the difference between the Commitment and the
aggregate principal balance of the Notes, whichever is less. Each repayment of
the Loans shall be deemed a repayment of each Lender's Loan equal to such
Lender's Percentage of the amount so repaid. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder are several and not joint, and the preceding two sentences will give
rise to certain inappropriate results if special provisions are not made to
accommodate the failure of a Lender to fund a Loan as and when required by this
Agreement; therefore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) no
Lender shall be required to make Loans at any one time outstanding in excess of
such Lender's Percentage of the Commitment and (B) if a Lender fails to make a
Loan as and when required hereunder and Borrower subsequently makes a repayment
on the Loans, such repayment shall be split among the non-defaulting Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages until each Lender has
its Percentage of all of the outstanding Loans, and the balance of such
repayment shall be divided among all of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Percentages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, borrowings and payments 
                        --------------- 
of Swing Loans shall be for TCB's own account. The Loans (other than Swing
Loans) shall be evidenced by the Notes substantially in the form of Exhibit C
                                                                    ---------
attached hereto. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders agree that Chapter 15
of the Texas Credit Code shall not apply to this Agreement, the Notes or any
Loan.

     (b)    The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of each borrowing to be
made hereunder as provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and the Agent shall deliver
                              -----------     
same to each Lender promptly thereafter. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Houston,
Texas time, on the date specified for each such borrowing hereunder other than
Swing Loans, each Lender shall make available the amount of the Loan, if any, to
be made by it on such date to the Agent at the Agent's principal office in
Houston, Texas, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower.
Such amounts received by the Agent will be held in Agent's general ledger
account. The amounts so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by wiring or
otherwise transferring, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00
noon, Houston, Texas time, such amount to an account designated by the Borrower
and maintained with Texas Commerce Bank National Association in El Paso, Texas
or any other account or accounts which the Borrower may from time to time
designate to the Agent by a written notice as the account or accounts to which
borrowings hereunder are to be wired or otherwise transferred. TCB shall make
available the amount of each Swing Loan by depositing the same in immediately
available funds, in the foregoing account by 2:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on
the date of the borrowing.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
     (c)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, if necessary to meet the
Borrower's funding deadlines, TCB agrees to make Swing Loans to the Borrower at
any time on or prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, not to exceed an
amount at any one time outstanding equal to the lesser of (i) $75,000,000.00, or
(ii) the difference between the Commitment and the unpaid principal balance of
all Loans.  Swing Loans shall constitute "Loans" for all purposes hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of all Loans (including,
without limitation, all Swing Loans) shall not at any time exceed the
Commitment.  Each request for a Swing Loan shall be in an amount at least equal
to $1,000,000.00 and equal to a multiple of $250,000.00.  If necessary to meet
the Borrower's funding deadlines, the Agent may treat any Request for Loan as a
request for a Swing Loan from TCB and TCB may fund it as a Swing Loan.  Within
two (2) Business Days after each Swing Loan is funded, TCB shall request that
each Lender, and each Lender shall, on the first Business Day after such request
is made, purchase a portion of any one or more Swing Loans in an amount equal to
that Lender's Percentage of such Swing Loans by funding under such Lender's
Note, such purchase to be made in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(b) of
                                                               --------------   
this Agreement just as if the Lender were funding directly to the Borrower under
its Note (such that all Lenders other than TCB shall fund only under their
respective Note and not under the Swing Loan Note).  Unless the Agent knew or
should have known when TCB funded a Swing Loan that the Borrower had not
satisfied the conditions in this Agreement to obtain a Loan, each Lender's
obligation to purchase an interest in the Swing Loans shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender or any other Person may have against TCB or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or
Event of Default or the termination of any Lender Commitment; (iii) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents by
the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent or any other Lender; or (v) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing.  Any portion of a Swing Loan not so purchased and converted
may be treated by TCB as a Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing
Lenders as contemplated in Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement, and as a funding by
                           --------------                                       
TCB under the Commitment in excess of TCB's Percentage.  Each Swing Loan, once
so sold, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but
shall be a Loan made under the Commitment and each Lender's Lender Commitment.
The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by the Swing Loan Note substantially in the
form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto.
        -----------                 

     2.2    Term Loan Conversion.

            (a)     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if
any Extension Request (as defined in Section 9) shall be denied, the Borrower
                                     ---------
may elect to convert the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans (other
than the Swing Loans) outstanding on the date (if the conversion election is
chosen, the "Conversion Date") one (1) year prior to the then existing Revolving
             ---------------
Credit Termination Date into a term loan owing to each of the Lenders (each a
"Term Loan"), so long as (i) the Borrower has given the Agent at least fifteen
 ---------
(15) days prior written notice of the Borrower's intention to so convert the
Loans, (ii) no amounts remain unpaid under the Swing Loan Note, and (iii) the
conditions to make a Loan set forth in Section 3 are satisfied as of the
                                       ---------                        
Conversion Date.  After the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall have no further
right to receive, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any advances
of Loans.

            (b)     The Borrower shall repay the principal balance of each Term
Loan in quarterly installments due on November 13 first following the Conversion
Date, and continuing on the thirteenth (13th) day of each subsequent February,
May, August and November until the Termination Date. The amount of each
quarterly principal installment shall be equal to the following amount during
the corresponding period:


     PERIOD                                       PAYMENT AMOUNT
     ------                                       --------------

During the first year after             Quarterly amount necessary to amortize
the Conversion Date                     the unpaid principal balance of the 
                                        Term Loan on the Conversion Date over a
                                        seven (7) year period                   

During the second year after       Quarterly amount necessary to amortize the 
the Conversion Date                     unpaid principal balance of the Term
                                        Loan on the Conversion Date over seven
                                        (5) year period                 

During the third year after             Quarterly amount necessary to amortize
the Conversion Date                     the unpaid principal balance of the 
                                        Term Loan on the Conversion Date over a
                                        seven (3) year period                   

Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans
shall continue to be due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates.  The entire
unpaid principal balance, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of the
Term Loans, together with all other amounts due under this Agreement, shall be
due and payable in full on the Termination Date.

     2.3    Payments. (a)  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all
            --------                                                          
payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower
hereunder, under the Notes and 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
under the other Credit Documents shall be made in immediately available funds to
the Agent at its principal office in Houston, Texas (or in the case of a
successor Agent, at the principal office of such successor Agent in the United
States), not later than 12:00 noon Houston, Texas time on the date on which such
payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due
date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

     (b)    The Borrower may, at the time of making each payment hereunder,
under any Note or under any other Credit Document, specify to the Agent the
Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder to which
such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails so to specify,
such payment shall be applied to the Loans (first to the Swing Loans) or, if no
Loans are outstanding, to other amounts then due and payable, provided that if
                                                              --------
no Loans or other amounts are then due and payable or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Agent may apply such payment to the Obligations
in such order as it may elect in its sole discretion, but subject to the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.4
                                                                     -----------
hereof).  Each payment received by the Agent hereunder, under any Note or under
any other Credit Document for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to
such Lender, in immediately available funds.  If the Agent receives a payment
for the account of a Lender prior to 12:00 noon Houston, Texas time, such
payment must be delivered to the Lender on that same day and if it is not so
delivered due to the fault of the Agent, the Agent shall pay to the Lender
entitled to the payment the interest accrued on the amount of the payment
pursuant to said Lender's Note from the date the Agent receives the payment to
the date the Lender received the payment.  The Agent may apply payments received
from the Borrower to pay any unpaid principal and interest on the Swing Loans
before making payment to each Lender of amounts due under the Notes other than
the Swing Loan Note.

     (c)    If the due date of any payment hereunder or under any Note falls on
a day which is not a Business Day or a Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may
be, the due date for such payments shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, respectively, and interest shall be
payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension;
provided, however, that with respect to Eurodollar Rate Borrowings if such
extension would cause the Eurodollar Business Day of payment to fall in another
calendar month, the payment shall be due on the Eurodollar Business Day next
preceding the due date of the payment.

     (d)    The Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day's
prior written notice of the Borrower's intent to make any payment of principal
or interest under the Credit Documents not scheduled to be paid under the Credit
Documents. Any such notification of payment shall be irrevocable after it is
made by the Borrower. Upon receipt by the Agent of such notification of payment,
it shall deliver same to the other Lenders.

     2.4    Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
            ------------------     
(a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1(a) hereof shall be made
                                          --------------                     
ratably from the Lenders on the basis of their respective Percentages, each
payment of the Fee (hereinafter defined) shall be made for the account of the
Lenders, and shall be applied, pro rata, according to the Lenders' respective
                               --------                                      
Lender Commitment;  and (b) each payment by the Borrower of principal or
interest on the Loans other than the Swing Loans, of any other sums advanced by
the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Documents, and of any other amount owed to
the Lenders other than the Fee, payments of Swing Loans, or any other sums
designated by this Agreement as being owed to a particular Lender, shall be made
to the Agent for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans (other than Swing Loans) held
by the Lenders.  Payments of Swing Loans shall be for TCB's own account.

     2.5    Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent.  Unless the Agent shall have been
            ---------------------------------                                   
notified by a Lender or the Borrower (the "Payor") prior to the date on which
such Lender is to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (or
purchase of a portion of a Swing Loan) to be made by it hereunder or the
Borrower is to make a payment to the Agent for the account of one or more of the
Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the "Required
Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not
intend to make the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the
Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but
shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended
recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required
Payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the
Agent the amount made available by the Agent together with interest thereon in
respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to (a) the Past Due Rate for such period if the recipient returning a
Required Payment is the Borrower, or (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate for
such period if the recipient returning a Required Payment is the Agent or a
Lender.

     2.6    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  The Borrower agrees that, in addition to
            -------------------------                                          
(and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers' lien or counterclaim
a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to
offset balances held by it for the account of the Borrower at any of its
offices, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender's Loans to
the Borrower hereunder, or other Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, which is
not paid (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower), in
which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, provided
                                                                        --------
that such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
thereof.  If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on
any Loan made by it under this Agreement (other than Swing Loans made by TCB),
or other Obligation then due to such Lender hereunder, through the exercise of
any right 

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
 
of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise, it shall
promptly purchase from the other Lenders portions of the Loans made or other
Obligations held (other than Swing Loans made by TCB), by the other Lenders in
such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such
payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining
or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and
interest on the Obligations then due to each of them. To such end all the
Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of
participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any
such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or
obligation of the Borrower.

     2.7    Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each
            ----

commitment fee by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of each Lender equal
to the portion of the daily unused amount of the Commitment (Swing Loans shall
be deemed to be a utilization of the Commitment solely for the purposes of this
Section 2.7(a)) listed below multiplied by the corresponding rate per annum
- --------------                                                             
applicable to that portion:

     Unused Commitment                            Rate
     -----------------                            ----

Up to but not including $115,000,000                    0.1250%

$115,000,000 up to and including
$230,000,000                                      0.1875%

Over $230,000,000                                       0.2500%

such commitment fee to be payable in arrears on or before the tenth (10th) day
of each April, July, October and January, (b) if the Revolving Credit
Termination Date is extended pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, an amount
                                         ---------                             
payable as an extension fee by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of each
Lender that extends its Loans equal to 0.1500% of each Lender's Lender
Commitment at that time payable on the Determination Date, and (c) if the Loans
are converted to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement, an
                                            -----------                      
amount payable as a conversion fee by the Borrower to the Agent for the account
of each Lender that converts its Loans equal to one-fourth of one percent (1/4%)
of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of each Loan on the date one (1) year
after the Conversion Date payable to each Lender on the date one (1) year after

                                      -21-

the Conversion Date, plus one-fourth of one percent (1/4%) of the aggregate
unpaid principal balance of each Loan on the date (2) years after the Conversion
Date payable to each Lender on the date two (2) years after the Conversion Date
if any portion of the Term Loan is unpaid on that date.  The Fee shall not be
refundable (except as required by Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement).  Any
                                  --------------
portion of the Fee which is not paid by the Borrower when due shall bear
interest at the Past Due Rate from the date due until the date paid by the
Borrower. The Fee shall be calculated on the actual number of days elapsed in a
year deemed to consist of 360 days.

     3.2  First Loan.  In addition to the matters described in Section 3.1
          ----------                                           -----------

Certificate in the form of Exhibit A; and to the further condition that, at the

time of the initial Loan, all legal matters incident to the transactions herein
contemplated shall be satisfactory to Liddell, Sapp, Zivley, Hill & LaBoon,
L.L.P., counsel for the Agent.

     3.3  Options Available.  The outstanding principal balance of the Notes
          -----------------                                                 
shall bear interest at the Base Rate; provided, that (1) all past due amounts,
                                      --------                                
both principal and accrued interest, shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate,
and (2) subject to the provisions hereof, Borrower shall have the option of
having all or any portion of the principal balance of the Notes, other than the
Swing Loan Note, from time to time outstanding bear interest at a Eurodollar
Rate.  The records of the Lenders with respect to Interest Options, Interest
Periods and the amounts of Loans to which they are applicable shall be prima
facie evidence thereof.  Interest on the Loans shall be calculated at the Base
Rate except where it is expressly provided pursuant to this Agreement that a
Eurodollar Rate is to apply.

     3.4  Designation and Conversion.  Borrower shall have the right to
          --------------------------                                   
designate or convert its Interest Options in accordance with the provisions
hereof.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject
         --------                                                               
to the provisions of Section 3.5, Borrower may elect to have a Eurodollar Rate
                     -----------                                              
apply or continue to apply to all or any portion of the principal balance of the

shall be converted on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest
Period.

this Agreement, each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing will convert to a Base Rate
Borrowing after the expiration of the Interest Period.

     3.5  Special Provisions Applicable to Eurodollar Rate Borrowings.
          ----------------------------------------------------------- 

     (a)  Options Unlawful.  If the adoption of any applicable Legal Requirement
          ----------------                                                      
or any change in any applicable Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by the
Lenders with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall at any time make it
unlawful or impossible for any Lender to permit the establishment of or to
maintain any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, the commitment of the Lenders to
establish or maintain such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall forthwith be
suspended until such condition shall cease to exist and Borrower shall
forthwith, upon demand by Agent to Borrower, (1) convert the Eurodollar Rate
Borrowing with respect to which such demand was made to a Base Rate Borrowing;
(2) pay all accrued and unpaid interest to date on the amount so converted; and
(3) pay any amounts required to compensate the Lenders for any additional cost
or expense which the Lenders may incur as a result of such adoption of or change
in such Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or administration thereof and
any Funding Loss which the Lenders may incur as a result of such conversion.
If, when Agent so notifies Borrower, Borrower has given a Request for Loan
specifying a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing but the selected Interest Period has not
yet begun, such Request for Loan shall be deemed to be of no force and effect,
as if never made, and the balance of the Loans specified in such Request for
Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate until a different available Interest
Option shall be designated in accordance herewith.

     (b)  Increased Cost of Borrowings.  If the adoption of any applicable Legal
          ----------------------------                                          
Requirement or any change in any applicable Legal Requirement or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive of general applicability
(whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or Governmental
Authority shall at any time as a result of any portion of the principal balance
of the Notes being maintained on the basis of a Eurodollar Rate:

     (1)  subject any Lender (or make it apparent that any Lender is subject) to
          any Taxes, or any deduction or withholding for any Taxes, on or from
          any payment due under any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing or other amount
          due 

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
 
          hereunder, other than income and franchise taxes of the United
          States and its political subdivisions; or

     (2)  change the basis of taxation of payments due from Borrower to
          any Lender under any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing (otherwise than
          by a change in the rate of taxation of the overall net income
          of a Lender); or

     (3)  impose, modify, increase or deem applicable any reserve
          requirement (excluding that portion of any reserve requirement
          included in the calculation of the applicable Eurodollar Rate),
          special deposit requirement or similar requirement (including,
          but not limited to, state law require ments and Regulation D)
          imposed, modified, increased or deemed applicable by any
          Governmental Authority against assets held by any Lender, or
          against deposits or accounts in or for the account of any
          Lender, or against loans made by any Lender, or against any
          other funds, obligations or other property owned or held by any
          Lender; or

     (4)  impose on any Lender any other condition regarding any
          Eurodollar Rate Borrowing;

     and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
     any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, renewing or maintaining
     such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, or reduce the amount of principal or
     interest received by any Lender, then, upon demand by Agent,
     Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by
     such Lender, additional amounts which shall compensate such Lender
     for such increased cost or reduced amount. Agent will promptly
     notify Borrower in writing of any event which will entitle any
     Lender to additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph. A Lender's
     determination of the amount of any such increased cost, increased
     reserve requirement or reduced amount shall be prima facie evidence
     thereof. Borrower shall have the right, if it receives from Agent
     any notice referred to in this paragraph, upon three Business Days'
     notice to Agent, either (i) to repay in full (but not in part) any
     borrowing with respect to which such notice was given, together with
     any accrued interest thereon, or (ii) to convert the Eurodollar Rate
     Borrowing which is the subject of the notice to a Base Rate
     Borrowing; provided, that any such repayment or conversion shall be
                --------               
     accompanied by payment of (x) the amount required to compensate a
     Lender for the increased cost or reduced amount referred to in the
     preceding paragraph; (y) all accrued and unpaid interest to date on
     the amount so repaid or converted, and

                                      -25-
<PAGE>
 
     (z) any Funding Loss which any Lender may incur as a result of such
     repayment or conversion.

     (c)  Inadequacy of Pricing and Rate Determination.  If for any
          --------------------------------------------                         
     reason with respect to any Interest Period Agent shall have
     determined (which determination shall be prima facie evidence
     thereof) that:

     (1)  Agent is unable through its customary general practices to
          determine any applicable Eurodollar Rate, or

     (2)  by reason of circumstances affecting the applicable market
          generally, Agent is not being offered deposits in United States
          dollars in such market, for the applicable Interest Period and
          in an amount equal to the amount of any applicable Eurodollar
          Rate Borrowing requested by Borrower, or

     (3)  any applicable Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly
          reflect the cost to the Lenders of making and maintaining such
          Eurodollar Rate Borrowing hereunder for any proposed Interest
          Period,

     then Agent shall give Borrower notice thereof and thereupon, (A) any
     Request for Loan previously given by Borrower designating the
     applicable Eurodollar Rate Borrowing which has not commenced as of
     the date of such notice from Agent shall be deemed for all purposes
     hereof to be of no force and effect, as if never given, and (B)
     until Agent shall notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise
     to such notice from Agent no longer exist, each Request for Loan
     requesting the applicable Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed a request
     for a Base Rate Borrowing, and any applicable Eurodollar Rate
     Borrowing then outstanding shall be converted, without any notice to
     or from Borrower, upon the termination of the Interest Period then
     in effect with respect to it, to a Base Rate Borrowing.

     (d)  Funding Losses.  Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender
          --------------                                                     
against and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless from any Funding Loss.  This
agreement shall survive the payment of the Notes.  A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection and setting forth the
reasons for the Funding Loss submitted by Agent to Borrower shall be prima facie
evidence thereof.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
 
     3.6  Funding Offices; Adjustments Automatic.  Any Lender may, if it so
          --------------------------------------                           
elects, fulfill its obligation as to any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing by causing a
branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan and may transfer and carry
such Loan at, to, or for the account of, any branch office or affiliate of such
Lender; provided, that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such
        --------                                                            
Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of
Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be
deemed held by it for the account of such branch or affiliate.  Without notice
to Borrower or any other person or entity, each rate required to be calculated
or determined under this Agreement shall automatically fluctuate upward and
downward in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     3.7  Funding Sources, Payment Obligations.  Notwithstanding any provision
          ------------------------------------                                
of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and
maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans in any manner it sees fit,
it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all
determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and
maintained each Eurodollar Rate Borrowing during each Interest Period through
the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period
and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Funding Losses, increased costs and
other obligations relating to Eurodollar Rate Borrowings described in Section

incurred by the Lenders.

     3.8  Mitigation, Non-Discrimination.  (a)  Each Lender will notify the
          ------------------------------                                   
Borrower through the Agent of any event occurring after the date of this
Agreement which will require or enable such Lender to take the actions described
in Sections 3.5(a) or (b) of this Agreement as promptly as practicable after it
   ---------------    ---                                                      
obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such action, and (if so
requested by the Borrower through the Agent) will designate a different lending
office of such Lender for the applicable Eurodollar Rate Borrowing or will take
such other action as the Borrower reasonably requests if such designation or
action is consistent with the internal policy of such Lender and legal and
regulatory restrictions, can be undertaken at no additional cost, will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such action and will not, in the sole opinion
of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender (provided that such Lender
                                                   --------                 
will have no obligation to designate a different lending office which is located
in the United States of America).

          (b)  None of the Lenders shall be able to pass through to the Borrower
changes and costs under Section 3.5 of this Agreement on a discriminating basis,

such that such changes and costs are not also passed through by each Lender to
other customers of such Lender similarly situated where such customer is subject
to documents providing for such pass through.

                                          -----------                     
suspend or terminate the availability of Eurodollar Rate Borrowings for any
material period of time, and the event giving rise to such election is not
generally applicable to all of the Lenders, the Borrower may within sixty (60)
days after notification of such Lender's election, and so long as no Event of
Default is then in existence, either (i) demand that such Lender, and upon such
demand, such Lender shall promptly, assign its Lender Commitment to another
financial institution subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.5 of this Agreement for a purchase price equal to the unpaid balance
- ------------                                                                   
of principal, accrued interest, the unpaid balance of the Fee and expenses owing
to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) pay such Lender the unpaid
balance of principal, accrued interest, the unpaid balance of the Fee and
expenses owing to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, whereupon, such Lender

immediately and permanently be reduced by an amount equal to the Lender
Commitment of such Lender.

state of Maryland; has all power and authority to conduct its business as

Requirement or the Organizational Documents of the Parties; do not and will not
result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or

or affected, except where such breach or default could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and do not and will not result in
the creation of any Lien upon any Property of any of the Parties except as
expressly contemplated therein.  All necessary permits, registrations and
consents for such making and performance have been obtained except where the
lack thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

filed and paid all taxes shown thereon to be due, except those for which
extensions have been obtained, those which are being contested in good faith and
those for which the Borrower's failure to file a return or pay could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.7    Regulation U.  None of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for the
            ------------

nor any agent acting for it has offered the Notes or any similar obligation of
the Borrower for sale to or solicited any offers to buy the Notes or any similar

and neither the Borrower nor any agent acting for it will take any action which
would subject the sale of the Note to the provisions of Section 5 of the

                                                                    -----------
Parties") for and defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless against any

such Legal Requirement, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents at the time
of its existence or occurrence.  THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE AGENT AND EACH
LENDER PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ACT, OMISSION, FACTS,
CIRCUMSTANCES OR 

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

all times qualify as and maintain, its status as a real estate investment trust

     5.12   Borrower's Performance.  If the Borrower should fail to comply with
            ----------------------                                             
any of the agreements, covenants or obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, then the Agent (in the Borrower's name
or in Agent's name) may perform them or cause them to be performed for the
account of the Borrower and at the Borrower's sole expense, but shall not be
obligated to do so.  Any and all expenses thus incurred or paid by the Agent and
by any Lender shall be the Borrower's demand obligations to the Agent or such
Lender and shall bear interest from the date of demand therefor until the date
that the Borrower repays it to the Agent or the applicable Lender at the Past
Due Rate.  Upon making any such payment or incurring any such expense, the Agent
or the applicable Lender shall be fully subrogated to all of the rights of the
Person receiving such payment.  Any amounts owing by the Borrower to the Agent
or any Lender pursuant to this provision or any other provision of this
Agreement shall automatically and without notice be secured by any collateral
provided by the Credit Documents. The amount and nature of any such expense and
the time when paid shall, absent manifest error, be fully established by the
affidavit of the Agent or the applicable Lender or any of the Agent's or the
applicable Lender's officers or agents.

     5.13   Professional Services.  Promptly upon the Agent's request to satisfy
            ---------------------                                               
itself or the request of any Lender, the Borrower, at the Borrower's sole cost
and expense, provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, such items will not be at the Borrower's expense, shall:  (a)
allow an inspection and/or appraisal of the Borrower's Property to be made by a
Person approved by the Agent in its sole discretion; and (b) if the Agent
believes that an Event of Default has occurred or is about to occur, cause to be
conducted or prepared any other written report, summary, opinion, inspection,
review, survey, audit or other professional service relating to the Borrower's
Property or any operations in connection with it (all as designated in the
Agent's request), including, without limitation, any accounting, auctioneering,
architectural, consulting, engineering, design, legal, management, pest control,
surveying, title abstracting or other technical, managerial or professional
service relating to such property or its operations.

     5.14   Capital Adequacy.  (a) If after the date of this Agreement, the
            ----------------
Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or effectiveness of
any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy of general
applicability, or any change therein, or any change in the 

                                      -34-
<PAGE>
 
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by the Agent or any Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy of general applicability (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
Agent's or any Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to
a level below that which the Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Agent's or
such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
the Agent or such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrower
shall pay to the Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate the Agent or such Lender for such reduction.

            (b)  A certificate of the Agent or such Lender setting forth such
amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Agent or such Lender
as specified in Section 5.14(a) hereof and making reference to the applicable
                ---------------                                              
law, rule or regulation shall be delivered as soon as practicable to the
Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence thereof.  The Borrower shall pay the
Agent or such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
fourteen (14) Business Days after the Agent or such Lender delivers such
certificate.  In preparing such certificate, the Agent or such Lender may employ

provided for by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder
and thereunder in accordance with instructions of the Majority Lenders, and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the
Lenders.  If any order, writ, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any
court affecting the rights, duties and obligations of the Agent under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, then and in any of such events the Agent
is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with such order,
writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel of its own
choosing is binding upon it under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant
Credit Document or otherwise; and if the Agent complies with any such order,
writ, judgment or decree, then it shall not be liable to any Lender or to any
other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment
or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or
vacated.

          --------                                                     
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of
principal of or interest on Loans) unless it has received notice from a Lender
or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a
"Notice of Default".  In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the
occurrence of a Default, or whenever the Agent has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to
the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment).
The Agent shall (subject to Section 8.7 hereof) take such action with respect to
                            -----------                                         
such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders and within its rights
under the Credit Documents and at law or in equity, provided that, unless and
                                                    --------                 
until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
permitted hereby with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of the Lenders and within its rights under the Credit Documents
in order to preserve, protect or enhance the collectibility of the Loans, at law
or in equity.  Provided, however, that if there is an occurrence of an Event of
               --------                                                        
Default, then in no event or under any circumstances shall any of the actions
described in Section 8.1(b)(i) through (vi) of

and all of the Lenders.

     8.4  Rights as a Lender.  With respect to the Commitment and the Loans

made, Agent, in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting in its agency capacity, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders"
shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its
individual capacity.  The Agent may (without having to account therefor to any
other Lender) as a Lender, and to the same extent as any other Lender, accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
letter of credit, agency or other business with the Borrower (and any of its
Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Agent but solely as a Lender.  The
Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower (in addition to
the fees heretofore agreed to between the Borrower and the Agent) for services
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the
same to the Lenders.

     8.5  Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent, its

Lender's respective Percentage, for any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, interest,

for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified, or from the Agent's default
in the express obligations of the Agent to the Lenders provided for in this
Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.5 shall survive
                                                     -----------

          ---------------------------------------                             
has received current financial information with respect to the Borrower and that
it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter 

                                     -45-
<PAGE>
 
into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed
as to the performance or observance by any Party of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein
or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower or any Party
except as specifically required by the Credit Documents. Except for notices,
reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished
to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder or the other Credit Documents, the Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of
the Borrower or any other Party (or any of their affiliates) which may come into
the possession of the Agent. Each Lender assumes all risk of loss in connection
with its Percentage in the Loans to the full extent of its Percentage therein.
The Agent assumes all risk of loss in connection with its Percentage in the
Loans to the full extent of its Percentage therein.

     8.7  Failure to Act.  Except for action expressly required of the Agent, as
          --------------

taking or continuing to take any such action.

          --------------------                                                 
successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, (i)
the Majority Lenders without the consent of the Borrower shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent so long as such successor Agent is also a Lender at
the time of such appointment and (ii) the Majority Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Agent that is not a Lender at the time of such
appointment so long as the Borrower consents to such appointment (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld).  If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Majority Lenders and accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, and with the consent of the Borrower which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor Agent.  Any successor
Agent shall be a bank which has an office in the United States and a combined
capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.00.  Upon the acceptance of any

discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent thereafter arising hereunder
and under any other Credit Documents, but shall not be discharged from any
liabilities for its actions as Agent prior to the date of discharge. Such
successor Agent shall promptly specify by notice to the Borrower its principal
office referred to in Section 2.1 and Section 2.3 hereof. After any retiring
                      -----------     -----------
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall
                                                               ---------

be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

any of them may now or hereafter have in all or any part of the Obligations
shall create or be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture or other
joint enterprise between the Lenders or among the Lenders and the Agent.  The
relationship between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other,
is and shall be that of principals and agent only, and nothing in this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent
as trustee or other fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent any duty,
responsibility or obligation other than those expressly provided for herein and
therein.

9.   Renewal and Extension.
     --------------------- 

     Neither the Agent nor any Lenders have any agreement or obligation to
extend or renew the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  But in the event such an
extension is requested by the Borrower and any Lender decides to consider such
renewal and extension request, such request and consideration will be governed
by the following terms and conditions:

     9.1 Procedure for Consideration of Renewal and Extension Requests.
         ------------------------------------------------------------- 

     (a) The Borrower may request the Agent and the Lenders to extend the
current Revolving Credit Termination Date by successive one (1) year intervals
by executing and delivering to the Agent a written request for extension (the
                                                                             
"Extension Request") at least seventy-five (75) days (but not more than ninety
- ------------------                                                            
(90) days) prior to the Determination Date.  If all of the Lenders shall have
notified the Agent on or prior to the date which is forty-five (45) days prior
to the Determination Date that they accept such Extension Request, the Revolving
Credit Termination Date shall be extended for one (1) year.  If any Lender shall
not have notified Agent on or prior to the date which is forty-five (45) days
prior to the Determination Date that it accepts such Extension Request, the
Revolving Credit Termination Date shall not be extended.  The Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower whether the Extension Request has been accepted or
rejected 

                                     -47-
<PAGE>
 
as well as which Lender or Lenders rejected the Borrower's Extension Request
(each such Lender a "Rejecting Lender").
                     ----------------   

     (b)  Notwithstanding the preceding subsection (a), within thirty (30) days
after notification from the Agent that the Extension Request has been rejected
(a "Notice of Rejection"), and provided that the aggregate amount of Lender
    -------------------                                                    
Commitments of the Rejecting Lenders does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the
Commitment, the Borrower may either (i) demand that the Rejecting Lender, and
upon such demand the Rejecting Lender shall promptly, assign its Lender
Commitment to another financial institution subject to and in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10.5 of this Agreement for a purchase price equal to
                  ------------                                                
the unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest, the unpaid balance of the Fee
and expenses owing to the Rejecting Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii)
pay to the Rejecting Lender the unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest,
the unpaid balance of the Fee and expenses owing to the Rejecting Lender
pursuant to this Agreement, whereupon the Rejecting Lender shall no longer be a
party to this Agreement or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any
other Credit Documents, and the Commitment shall immediately and permanently be
reduced by an amount equal to the Lender Commitment of the Rejecting Lender.  If
all Rejecting Lenders have either assigned their Lender Commitments to other
financial institutions as contemplated by the preceding clause (i) or have been
paid the amounts specified in the preceding clause (ii), then the Borrower's
Extension Request which was initially rejected shall be deemed to have been
granted and accordingly the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be extended
by one (1) year, otherwise the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall not be
extended.  If the aggregate of Lender Commitments of the Rejecting Lenders
exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Commitment, the Revolving Credit Termination
Date shall not be extended.

     9.2  Conditions to Renewal and Extension.  Any agreement of the Lenders to

conditions (which shall be in addition to those required by Sections 2.7, 3 and

Termination Date, neither

           ------------                                                      
counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each
counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original
instrument, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.

     10.7  Usury Not Intended; Refund of Any Excess Payments.  It is the intent
           -------------------------------------------------                   
of the parties in the execution and performance of this Agreement to contract in
strict compliance with the usury laws of the State of Texas and the United
States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, the
Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms
and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall
ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or
detention of money with interest at a rate in excess of the Ceiling Rate and
that for purposes hereof "interest" shall include the aggregate of all charges
which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, reserved,
taken, charged or received under this Agreement.  In determining whether or not
the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the
Ceiling Rate, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall, to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment
as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) "spread" the total amount of
interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loans.  The provisions
of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of the Credit
Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

     10.8  Captions. The headings and captions appearing in the Credit Documents
           --------                                                          
have been included solely for convenience and shall not be considered in
construing the Credit Documents.

     10.9  Severability.  If any provision of any Credit  Documents shall be
           ------------                                                     
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be
affected or impaired thereby.

     10.10 Disclosures.  Every reference in the Credit Documents to disclosures
           -----------                                                         
of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders in writing, to the extent that such
references refer to 

                                     -52-

disclosures at or prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed
strictly to refer only to written disclosures delivered to the Agent and the
Lenders in an orderly manner concurrently with the execution hereof.

     10.11 NO NOVATION.  THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND
           -----------                                                          
THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS SOLELY TO AMEND, RESTATE AND RESTRUCTURE THE TERMS
OF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS TO THE EXISTING LENDERS OWING UNDER AND IN CONNECTION
WITH, THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT.  THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT
NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY
OF THE OBLIGATIONS OWING BY THE BORROWER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT.

     10.12 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER OF
           -----------------------      
THE BORROWER WHICH MAY ARISE AT ANY TIME UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OBLIGATION
OR LIABILITY WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY IT PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT
SHALL BE PERSONALLY BINDING UPON, NOR SHALL RESORT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT THEREOF
BE HAD TO THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF, ANY OF THE BORROWER'S TRUSTEES OR
SHAREHOLDERS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY IS IN THE NATURE
OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

     10.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS
           ----------------                                                
TOGETHER CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

this note may hereafter designate in writing, in immediately available funds and
in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of
[_________________________________] Dollars ($[___________________________] (or
the unpaid balance of all principal advanced against this note, if that amount
is less), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this note
from time to time outstanding at the Stated Rate and interest on all past due
amounts, both principal and accrued interest, at the Past Due Rate; provided,

of all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder of this note for the use,
forbearance or detention of the debt evidenced hereby (including, but not
limited to, all interest on this note at the Stated Rate) shall not exceed the
Ceiling Rate.

     1.   Definitions.  Any terms not defined herein shall have the meaning

given to them in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated of even date 
herewith among the Maker, the Payee, the Agent and certain other Lenders (as the
same may be amended or modified the "Credit Agreement").
                                     ----------------   

     2.   Rates Change Automatically and Without Notice.  Without notice to 
          ---------------------------------------------
Maker or any other person or entity and to the full extent allowed by applicable
law from time to time in effect, the Prime Rate and the Ceiling Rate shall each 
automatically fluctuate upward and downward as and in the amount by which 
Agent's said prime rate, and such maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted
by applicable law, respectively, fluctuate.

     3.   Calculation of Interest.  Interest shall be computed for the actual 
          -----------------------
number of days elapsed in a year (up to 365, or 366 in a leap year) deemed to 
consist of 360 days, unless the Ceiling Rate would thereby be exceeded, in which
event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the Ceiling Rate, interest

shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the 
applicable calendar year in which it accrued.

     4.   Excess Interest Will be Refunded or Credited.  If, for any reason 
          --------------------------------------------
whatever, the interest paid or received on this note during its full term 
produces a rate which exceeds the Ceiling Rate, the Holder of this note shall 
refund to the payor or, at the Holder's option, credit against the principal of
this note such portion of that interest as shall be necessary to cause the 
interest paid on this note to produce a rate equal to the Ceiling Rate.

     5.   Interest Will be Spread.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the 
          -----------------------
Holder of this note for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness 
evidenced hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent 
necessary to avoid violating applicable usury laws, shall be amortized, 
prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of this 
note, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of this 
note.

     6.   Payment Schedule.  The principal of this note shall be due and payable
          ----------------     
on the Maturity Date.  Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on 
each Interest Payment Date.  All payments shall be applied first to accrued 
interest, the balance to principal.

          ----------
Agreement.

and reborrow against this note at any time unless and until a default (however 
designated) or event (an "Event of Potential Default") which, if not cured after

account less the sum of all principal payments and permitted prepayments on this
note received by the Holder. Absent manifest error, the Holder's computer
records shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this note
and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and
advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made on this note may be

rights with respect to that advance or accrual, or (b) any payment or permitted

Maker's entitlement to credit for that payment as of the date of its receipt by
the Holder. Maker and Payee expressly agree, as expressly allowed by Article
15.10(b) of Chapter 15 ("Chapter 15") of the Texas Credit Code, that Chapter 15

apply to this note or to any loan evidenced by this note and that neither this

     10.  Defaults and Remedies.  Time is of the essence. Maker's failure to pay
          --------------------- 
any principal or accrued interest owing on this note when due and after 
expiration of any applicable period for notice and right to cure such a default 
which is specifically provided for in the Credit Agreement or any other 
provision of this note, or the occurrence of any default under the Credit 
Agreement or any other Credit Documents shall constitute default under this 
note, whereupon the Holder may elect to exercise any or all rights, powers and 
remedies afforded (a) under the Credit Agreement and all other papers related to
this note and (b) by law, including the right to accelerate the maturity of this
entire note.

     In addition to and cumulative of such rights, the Holder is hereby 
authorized at any time and from time to time after any such default, at Holder's
option, without notice to Maker or any other person or entity (all rights to any
such notice being hereby waived), to set off and apply any and all of any 
Maker's deposits at any time held by the Holder, and any other debt at any time 
owing by the Holder to or for the credit or account of any Maker, against the 
outstanding balance of this note, in such order and manner as Holder may elect 
in its sole discretion.

     The Holder's right to accelerate this note on account of any late payment 
or other default shall not be waived or deemed waived by the Holder by reason of
the Holder's having previously accepted one or more late payments or by reason 
of any Holder's otherwise not accelerating this note or exercising other 
remedies for any default, and no Holder shall ever be obligated or deemed 
obligated to notify Maker or any other person that Holder is requiring strict 
compliance with this note or any papers securing or otherwise relating to it 
before such Holder may accelerate this note or exercise any other remedy.

     Nothing in this Section or elsewhere shall be construed as diminishing 
Holder's absolute right to demand payment of all or any part of this note at any
time.

     11.  Legal Costs.  If any Holder of this note retains an attorney in 
          -----------
connection with any such default or to collect, enforce or defend this note or 
any papers intended to secure or guarantee it in any lawsuit or in any probate, 
reorganization, bankruptcy or other proceeding, or if Maker sues any Holder in 
connection with this note or any such papers and does not prevail, then Maker 
agrees to pay to each such Holder, in addition to principal and interest, all 
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Holder in trying to collect this 
note

by the Credit Agreement, Maker and any and all co-makers, endorsers, guarantors 
and sureties severally waive notice (including, but not limited to, notice of 
intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, notice of protest and notice of
dishonor), demand, presentment for payment, protest, diligence in collecting and
the filing of suit for the purpose of fixing liability and consent that the time
of payment hereof may be extended and re-extended from time to time without 
notice to any of them. Each such person agrees that his, her or its liability on
or with respect to this note shall not be affected by any release of or change 
in any guaranty or security at any time existing or by any failure to perfect or
maintain perfection of any lien against or security interest in any such 
security or the partial or complete unenforceability of any guaranty or other 
surety obligation, in each case in whole or in part, with or without notice and 
before or after maturity.

     13.  Rate of Return Maintenance Covenant.  If at any time after the date of
          -----------------------------------
this note, any Holder determines that (a) any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy of general applicability has been adopted or changed,
or (b) its interpretation or administration by any governmental authority, 
central bank or comparable agency has changed, and determines that such change
or the Holder's compliance with any request or directive regarding capital 
adequacy of general applicability (whether or not having the force of law) of 
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the 
effect of reducing the rate of return on the Holder's capital as a consequence 
of its obligations under this note or any related papers to a level below that 
which the Holder could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the Holder's own capital adequacy policies) by an 
amount the Holder deems to be material, then Maker promises to pay from time to 
time to the order of the Holder such additional amount or amounts as will 
compensate the Holder for such reduction. A certificate of any Holder setting 
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Holder as specified 
above shall be given to Maker as soon as practicable after the Holder has made 
such determination and shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. 
Maker shall pay the Holder the amount shown as due on any such certificate 
within 15 days after the Holder gives it. In preparing such certificate, the 
Holder may employ such assumptions and make such allocations of costs and 
expenses as

all other Holders that all loans evidenced by this note are and will be for 
business, commercial, investment or other similar purpose and not primarily for

any part of this note or the debt evidenced by this note, in accordance with the

nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to the private property of, 
any of Maker's trustees or shareholders regardless of whether such obligation or

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST, a Maryland real estate 
investment trust (herein called "Maker") promises to pay to the order of TEXAS

COMMERCE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, at 712 Main 
Street, Houston, Texas 77002, or at such other place as the holder (the 
"Holder", whether or not Payee is such holder) of this note may hereafter 
 ------
designate in writing, in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the 
United States of America, the principal sum of Seventy-Five Million Dollars 
($75,000,000.00) (or the unpaid balance of all principal advanced against this 
note, if that amount is less), together with interest on the unpaid principal 
balance of this note from time to time outstanding at the Stated Rate and 
interest on all past due amounts, both principal and accrued interest, at the 
Past Due Rate; provided, that for the full term of this note the interest rate 
               --------
produced by the aggregate of all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder of
this note for the use, forbearance or detention of the debt evidenced hereby 
(including, but not limited to, all interest on this note at the Stated Rate) 
shall not exceed the Ceiling Rate.

     1.   Definitions.  Any terms not defined herein shall have the meaning 
          -----------     
given to them in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated of even date 
herewith among the Maker, the Payee and certain other Lenders (as the same may 
be amended or modified the "Credit Agreement").
                            ----------------

     2.   Rates Change Automatically and Without Notice.  Without notice to
          ---------------------------------------------
Maker or any other person or entity and to the full extent allowed by applicable
law from time to time in effect, the Prime Rate and the Ceiling Rate shall each 
automatically fluctuate upward and downward as and in the amount by which 
Holder's said prime rate, and such maximum nonusurious rate of interest 
permitted by applicable law, respectively, fluctuate.

     3.   Calculation of Interest.  Interest shall be computed for the actual 
          -----------------------
number of days elapsed in a year (up to 365, or 366 in a leap year) deemed to 
consist of 360 days, unless the Ceiling Rate would thereby be exceeded, in which
event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the Ceiling Rate, interest 
shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the 
applicable calender year in which it accrued.

     4.   Excess Interest Will be Refunded or Credited.  If for any reason 
          --------------------------------------------
whatever, the interest paid or received on this note during its full term 
produces a rate which exceeds the Ceiling Rate, the Holder of this note shall 
refund to the payor or, at the Holder's option, credit against the principal of
this note such portion of that interest as shall be necessary to cause the
interest paid on this note to produce a rate equal to the Ceiling Rate.

     5.   Interest Will be Spread.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the 
          -----------------------     
Holder of this note for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness 
evidenced hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent 
necessary to avoid violating applicable usury laws, shall be amortized, 
prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of this 
note, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of this 
note.

     6.   Payment Schedule.  The principal of this note shall be due and payable
          ----------------
on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Accrued and unpaid interest shall be 
due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.  All payments shall be applied 
first to accrued interest, the balance to principal.

     7.   Prepayment.  Maker may prepay this note only as provided in the Credit
          ----------
Agreement.

     8.   Revolving Credit.  Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the

Credit Agreement and the other provisions of this note, Maker may borrow, repay 
and reborrow against this note at any time unless and until a default (however 
designated) or event (an "Event of Potential Default") which, if not cured after

notice or before the lapse of time (or both) would develop into a default under 
this note, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents has occurred which
the Holder has not declared to have been fully cured or waived, and (except as 
the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may otherwise provide)
there is no limit on the number of advances against this note so long as the
total unpaid principal of this note at any time outstanding does not exceed
$75,000,000.00. Interest on the amount of each advance against this note shall
be computed on the amount of the unpaid balance of that advances from the date
it is made until the date it is repaid. If Maker's right (if any) to borrow
against this note shall ever lapse because of the occurrence of any default, it
shall not be reinstated (or construed from any course of conduct or otherwise to
have been reinstated) unless and until the Holder shall declare in a signed
writing that it has been cured or waived. The unpaid principal balance of this

prepayments on this note received by the Holder. Absent manifest error, the

balance of this note and its advances and payments history posted up to that
day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made on
this note may be (but are not required to be) endorsed by the Holder on the
schedule attached hereto (which is hereby made a part hereof for all purposes)
or otherwise recorded in the Holder's computer or manual records; provided,

that any Holder's failure to make notation of (a) any principal advance or
accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's
obligations or any Holder's rights with respect to that advance or accrual, or
(b) any payment or permitted prepayment of principal or interest shall not
cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's entitlement to credit for that payment
as of the date of its receipt by the Holder. Maker and Payee expressly agree, as
expressly allowed by Article 15.10(b) of Chapter 15 ("Chapter 15") of the Texas
                                                      ---------- 
Credit Code, that Chapter 15 (which relates to open-end line of credit revolving
loan accounts) shall not apply to this note or to any loan evidenced by this
note and that neither this note nor any such loan shall be governed by Chapter
15 or subject to its provisions in any manner whatsoever.

expiration of any applicable period for notice and right to cure such a default 
which is specifically provided for in the Credit Agreement or any other 
provision of this note, or the occurrence of any default under the Credit 
Agreement or any other Credit Documents shall constitute default under this 
note, whereupon the Holder may elect to exercise any or all rights, powers and 
remedies afforded (a) under the Credit Agreement and all other papers related to
this note and (b) by law, including the right to accelerate the maturity of this
entire note.

     In addition to and cumulative of such rights, the Holder is hereby 
authorized at any time and from time to time after any such default, at Holder's
option, without notice to Maker or any other person or entity (all rights to any
such notice being hereby waived), to set off and apply any and all of any 
Maker's deposits at any time held by the Holder, and any other debt at any time 
owing by the Holder to or for the credit or account of any Maker, against the 
outstanding balance of this note, in such order and manner as Holder may elect 
in its sole discretion.

     The Holder's right to accelerate this note on account of any late payment
or other default shall not be waived or deemed waived by the Holder by reason of
the Holder's having previously accepted one or more late payments or by reason
of any Holder's otherwise not accelerating this note or exercising other
remedies for any default, and no Holder shall ever be obligated or deemed
obligated to notify Maker or any other person that Holder is requiring strict
compliance with this note or any papers securing or otherwise relating to it
before such Holder may accelerate this note or exercise any other remedy.

     Nothing in this Section or elsewhere shall be construed as diminishing 
Holder's absolute right to demand payment of all or any part of this note at any
time.

intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, notice of protest and notice of
dishonor), demand, presentment for payment, protest, diligence in collecting and
the filing of suit for the purpose of fixing liability and consent that the time
of payment hereof may be extended and re-extended from time to time without 
notice to any of them. Each such person agrees that his, her or its liability on

in any guaranty or security at any time existing or by any failure to perfect or
maintain perfection of any lien against or security interest in any such 
security or the partial or complete unenforceability of any guaranty or other 
surety obligation, in each case in whole or in part, with or without notice and 
before or after maturity.

     13.  Rate of Return Maintenance Covenant.  If at any time after the date of
          -----------------------------------
this note, any Holder determines that (a) any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy of general applicability has been adopted or changed,
or (b) its interpretation or administration by any governmental authority, 
central bank or comparable agency has changed, and determines that such change 
or the Holder's compliance with any request or directive regarding capital 
adequacy of general applicability (whether or not having the force of law) of

time to the order of the Holder such additional amount or amounts as will 
compensate the Holder for such reduction. A certificate of any Holder setting 
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Holder as specified

     3.1    REIT MANAGEMENT FEE.
            ------------------- 

     (a)    The Trust shall pay the REIT Manager an annual REIT Management Fee
equal to the sum of (i) $855,000, plus (or minus, in the case of annual Cash
Flow below $4,837,000) 16% of the difference between annual Cash Flow and
$4,837,000 and (ii) the product of 0.25% per annum multiplied by the average
daily balance of the Trust's Cash Equivalent Investments, measured at the end of
each month.  All payments of the REIT Management Fee shall be subject to annual
adjustment at year end as provided in Section 3.5 hereof.  The REIT Management
                                      -----------                             
Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears in such amounts indicated by the annual
operating budget approved by a majority of the Board, as revised no more than
quarterly to reflect known material changes.

     (b)    Within 50 days following the end of each calendar quarter and within
100 calendar days after the end of each calendar year of the Trust (following
the receipt by the Trust of an auditor's report, prepared by a nationally
recognized independent accounting firm, with respect to the Trust's financial
statements for such year), the REIT Manager shall deliver to the Trust a
statement, certified by an officer of the REIT Manager, setting forth the
following:  (i) the amount of the estimated REIT Management Fee actually paid by
the Trust for all months during such quarter or year, as the case may be, (ii)
the amount of the REIT Management Fee that should have been paid for such
quarter or year, as the case may be, and (iii) the amount, if any, of accrued
and unpaid REIT Management Fees.  If the annual or quarterly statement, as the
case may be, indicates an overpayment by the Trust of the REIT Management Fee,
such overpayment shall be offset against the next ensuing estimated REIT
Management Fee to become due hereunder, or, if at any time no further REIT
Management Fee can become due, the balance of any overpayment shall be paid
without interest by the REIT Manager within 15 calendar days after demand
therefor by the Trust, such repayment to be due and payable whether or not this
Agreement is still in full force and effect.  If the annual or quarterly
statement, as the case may be, indicates an underpayment by the Trust of the
REIT Management Fee with respect to the quarter or year covered thereby, the
Trust, within 15 calendar days after receipt of the statement, shall pay to the
REIT Manager the amount of such underpayment.  The REIT Management Fee for any
year shall not be recalculated on the basis of any post-year-end adjustments to
the Trust's taxable income arising, directly or indirectly, from an audit by the
Internal Revenue Service.

     3.2    PAYMENT FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES.  If the Board shall request the
            -------------------------------  
REIT Manager to render services to the Trust other than those required to be
rendered by the REIT Manager hereunder, such additional services, if performed,
shall be compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon from time to time
between the REIT Manager and the Trust, which terms shall

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
not be less favorable to the Trust than either (a) the terms under which the
REIT Manager is then performing similar services for other persons, taking into
account the full range of services and prices therefor provided by the REIT
Manager to such other persons or (b) the terms under which qualified
unaffiliated persons are then performing such services for comparable
organizations, provided that no separate fee shall be charged to the Trust for
any investment banking services provided by any Affiliate of the REIT Manager.

     3.3    EXPENSES OF THE REIT MANAGER.  Without regard to the amount of
            ----------------------------                                  
compensation received hereunder by the REIT Manager, the REIT Manager shall bear

     3.5    REFUND.  In accordance with the Declaration of Trust, with respect
            ------ 
to any fiscal year in which a majority of the Independent Trustees do not find
such excess justified, the Board may require the REIT Manager either (a) to

the amount of such excess during the balance of the fiscal year next following

     (a)    The REIT Manager shall not recommend or consummate any transaction
which would involve the acquisition by the Trust of property in which the REIT

REIT Manager may recommend and consummate transactions which involve the

responsibility other than to render the services and take the actions described
herein in good faith and with the exercise of due care and shall not be
responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any
advice or recommendation of the REIT Manager.  The REIT Manager, except by
reason of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, shall not
be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within its discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or in reasonable reliance upon the

     6.2    INDEMNIFICATION.
            --------------- 

     (a)    The Trust shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the REIT
Manager and its directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees and each
other person or entity, if any, controlling the REIT Manager (an "Indemnified
Party"), to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of any nature whatsoever with respect to or arising from
any acts or omissions of the REIT Manager (including ordinary negligence) in its
capacity as such, except with respect to losses, claims, damages or liabilities
with respect to or arising out of the REIT Manager's gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct.

     (b)    Notwithstanding the indemnification provisions in Section 6.2(a)
                                                              -------------- 
above, indemnification will not be allowed for any liability imposed by
judgment, and costs associated therewith, including attorneys' fees, arising
from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws associated with
the offer and sale of Trust securities. Indemnification will be allowed for
settlement and related expenses of lawsuits alleging securities law violations,
and for expenses incurred in successfully defending such lawsuits, provided that
a court either (i) approves the settlement and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and related costs should be made or (ii) approves indemnification of
litigation costs if a successful defense is made. If indemnification is
unavailable as a result of this Section 6.2(b), the Trust shall contribute to
                                --------------   
the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the REIT Manager
or its officers, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons may be
subject in such amount as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Trust and the party seeking contribution and the relative faults
of the Trust and the party seeking contribution, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

     (c)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect

gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  In case any such action
shall be brought against an Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Trust of
the commencement thereof, the Trust shall be entitled to participate therein
and, to the extent that it shall wish to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Trust
to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
Trust shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 6.2(a) hereof
                                                          --------------

Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the Trust and the Indemnified Party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of
the Indemnified Party, due to actual or potential differing interests between
them.

policies of the Trust.  Directors, officers, employees and agents of the REIT
Manager or any of its Affiliates may serve as Trustees, officers, employees,
agents, nominees or signatories of the Trust.  When executing documents or

SHALL BE PERSONALLY BINDING UPON, NOR SHALL RESORT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT THEREOF
BE HAD TO, THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF ANY OF ITS TRUSTEES, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY IS IN

            ----------------------------                                      
this Agreement is inconsistent with or contradicts a provision in the

that the other parties hereto will not have an adequate remedy at law if it
shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and each of the parties
hereto therefore confirms that the right of each other party hereto to specific
performance of the terms of this Agreement is essential to protect the rights
and interests of such party.  Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies
that any party hereto may have at law or in equity, each such party shall have
the right to have all obligations, covenants, agreements and other provisions of
this Agreement specifically performed by each other party, and each party shall
have the right to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure
specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this
Agreement by each other party hereto.

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

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PTR and Homestead are
entering to a Funding Commitment Agreement (the "Funding Commitment Agreement"),
pursuant to which PTR will agree to make certain loans to Homestead, which loans
will be secured by mortgages, and the notes evidencing such loans will be

Stock"), of Homestead on the terms and conditions described therein;

          WHEREAS, pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Warrant

                  including any preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or
                  supplement thereto, and such other documents, as PTR may
                  reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale or other
                  disposition of the Registrable Securities;

                      (iv)   use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify

                  and things reasonably requested by PTR to assist it to
                  consummate the public sale or other disposition in such
                  jurisdictions of the securities owned by PTR, except that
                  Homestead shall not for any such purpose be required to
                  qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any
                  jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified or to file therein
                  any general consent to service of process;

                      (v)    otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with

                  practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at
                  least twelve months, beginning with the first fiscal quarter
                  beginning after the effective date of the registration
                  statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
                  provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

                      (vi)   use its reasonable efforts to list such securities
                  on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any
                  securities of Homestead are then listed, if the listing of
                  such securities is then permitted under the rules of such
                  exchange or quotation system; and

                      (vii)  notify PTR, at any time when a prospectus relating
                  to the Registrable Securities is required to be delivered
                  under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of
                  which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus
                  included in such registration statement, as then in effect,
                  contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
                  state a material fact required to be stated therein or
                  necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
                  light of the circumstances then existing.

          right to postpone the filing of a registration statement under this

          Homestead furnishes PTR with a certificate signed by the Chairman of
          the Board or the President of Homestead stating that, in its good
          faith judgment, Homestead's Board of Directors has determined that
          effecting the registration at such time would adversely affect a
          material financing, acquisition, disposition of assets or stock,
          merger or other comparable transaction or would require Homestead to
          make public disclosure of information the public disclosure of that
          would have a material adverse effect upon Homestead.

          Registrable Securities under this Agreement shall be paid by
          Homestead. The expenses shall include, without limitation, the
          expenses of preparing the registration statement and the prospectus
          used in connection therewith and any amendment or supplement thereto,
          printing and photocopying expenses, all registration and filing fees
          under Federal and state securities laws, and expenses of complying
          with the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions, provided,
          however, that PTR shall be responsible for the fees and disbursements
          of its own counsel.

                  (f) Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities
                      ---------------
          are included in a registration statement under this Section 3:

                      (i)    Indemnity by Homestead.  Without limitation of any
                             ----------------------   
                  other indemnity provided to PTR, to the extent permitted by
                  law, Homestead will indemnify and hold harmless PTR and its
                  officers, trustees and any individual, partnership,
                  corporation, trust, unincorporated organization or other
                  entity (a "Person") if any, who controls PTR (within the
                  meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), against
                  any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (joint
                  or several) to which they may become subject under the
                  Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
                  law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
                  expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
                  based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
                  violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue
                  statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
                  contained in any registration statement (including any
                  preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein
                  or any amendments or supplements thereto), (ii) the omission
                  or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
                  to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                  therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
                  made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
                  violation by Homestead of the Securities Act, the Exchange
                  Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation
                  promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any
                  state securities law, and Homestead will reimburse PTR and its
                  officers, trustees and any controlling person thereof for any
                  reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in
                  connection with

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
                  investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
                  liability, expense or action; provided, however, that
                  Homestead shall not be liable in any such case for any such
                  loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action to the
                  extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that
                  occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
                  information furnished expressly for use in connection with
                  such registration by PTR or any officer, trustee or
                  controlling person thereof.

                      (ii)   Indemnity by PTR.  In connection with any 
                             ----------------                
                  registration statement in which PTR is participating, PTR will
                  furnish to Homestead in writing such information and
                  affidavits as Homestead reasonably requests for use in
                  connection with any such registration statement or prospectus
                  and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify Homestead,
                  its directors and officers and each Person who controls
                  Homestead (within the meaning of the Securities Act or
                  Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
                  and expenses resulting from any Violation, but only to the
                  extent that such Violation is contained in any information or
                  affidavit so furnished in writing by PTR; provided, that the
                  obligation to indemnify will be several and not joint and
                  several with any other Person and will be limited to the net
                  amount received by PTR from the sale of Registrable Securities
                  pursuant to such registration statement.

                      (iii)  Notice; Right to Defend.  Promptly after receipt 
                             -----------------------       
                  by an indemnified party under this Section 3(f) of notice of
                  the commencement of any action (including any governmental
                  action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
                  thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
                  this Section 3(f), deliver to the indemnifying party a written
                  notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party
                  shall have the right to participate in, and, if the
                  indemnifying party agrees in writing that it will be
                  responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages and
                  losses incurred by the indemnified party with respect to such
                  claim, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
                  noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
                  satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an
                  indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
                  counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
                  indemnifying party, if the indemnified party reasonably
                  believes that representation of such indemnified party by the
                  counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
                  inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
                  between such indemnified party and any other party represented
                  by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
                  written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
                  time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such
                  indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
                  under this Section 3(f) only if and to the extent that such
                  failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
                  and the omission so to deliver written notice to the
                  indemnifying party will not relieve it

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
                  of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
                  other than under this Section 3(f).

                      (iv)  Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for 
                            ------------                   
                  in this Section 3(f) is held by a court of competent
                  jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
                  respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
                  referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
                  indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall
                  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
                  party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or
                  expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
                  relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and
                  of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with
                  the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss,
                  liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other
                  relevant equitable considerations. The relevant fault of the
                  indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be
                  determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
                  untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
                  omission to state a material fact relates to information
                  supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party
                  and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
                  information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
                  statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
                  amount PTR shall be obligated to contribute pursuant to this
                  Section 3(f)(iv) shall be limited to an amount equal to the
                  aggregate value of the Registrable Securities distributed by
                  PTR pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to
                  such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of
                  any damages which PTR has otherwise been required to pay in
                  respect of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action or
                  any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or
                  action arising from the distribution of such Registrable
                  Securities).

                      (v)    Survival of Indemnity.  The indemnification 
                             ---------------------                    
                  provided by this Section 3(f) shall be a continuing right to
                  indemnification and shall survive the registration and sale of
                  any securities by any Person entitled to indemnification
                  hereunder and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

                  (g) Limitations on Registration Rights.
                      ---------------------------------- 

                      (i)    Homestead shall not, without the prior written
                  consent of PTR, include in any registration in which PTR has a
                  right to participate pursuant to this Agreement any securities
                  of any Person other than Atlantic and PTR.

                      (ii)   PTR shall not, without the prior written consent of
                  Homestead, effect any public sale or distribution (including
                  sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of
                  securities of Homestead during any period commencing 30 days
                  prior to and ending 60 days after the effective date any
                  registration statement filed

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
                  by Homestead on behalf of any Person (including Homestead),
                  other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or any
                  successor form.

                  (h) Registrable Security.  The term Registrable Security 
                      --------------------                    
          means (i) any shares of Common Stock issuable to PTR pursuant to the
          conversion of notes issuable pursuant to the terms of the Funding
          Commitment Agreement or otherwise held by PTR, (ii) any other shares
          of Common Stock owned by PTR and (iii) any shares of Common Stock or
          other securities that may subsequently be issued with respect to such
          shares of Common Stock as a result of a stock split or dividend or any
          sale, transfer, assignment or other transaction by Homestead involving
          the shares of Common Stock and any securities into which the shares of
          Common Stock may thereafter be changed as a result of merger,
          consolidation, recapitalization or otherwise. As to any particular
          Registrable Securities, such securities will cease to be Registrable
          Securities when they have been distributed to the public pursuant to
          an offering registered under the Securities Act. All Registrable
          Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when all such
          securities may be sold in any three-month period pursuant to Rule 144,
          or any successor to such rule, under the Securities Act.

          Section 4.  File Reports. For so long as PTR owns any Registrable
                      ------------                                         
Securities, Homestead shall file on a timely basis all annual, quarterly and
other reports required to be filed by it under Section 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as
amended from time to time.

          Section 5.  Miscellaneous.
                      ------------- 

          (a)  Survival of Covenants.   All covenants contained herein shall 
               ---------------------                                   
survive the execution of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and

     Section 2.3.  FUTURE PROJECTS.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the
Future Projects identified in Exhibit A hereto are in differing stages of
                              ---------                                  
consideration by Homestead and that, at any point in the process of its due
diligence review, the negotiation of definitive acquisition and related
documents and its efforts to obtain all Permits required for development of any
such Future Project, Homestead may determine, in its sole and absolute
discretion, either to proceed with the acquisition of the land for, and
development of, any such Future Project or to discontinue its efforts in respect
of any such Future Project.  Requests for advances of Loan proceeds hereunder
may include amounts required to reimburse Homestead for the costs and expenses
incurred by Homestead in its due diligence review of any such Future Project, as
well as all costs incurred in connection with its efforts to secure the Permits
required for development of any such Future Project.  Whenever such pursuit
costs ("Pursuit Costs") are to be funded with Loan proceeds, prior to the first
        -------------                                                          
advance in respect of a Future Project, Homestead will provided PTR with a
notice (a "Funding Notice") identifying the Future Project, together with a
           --------------                                                  
development budget (a "Development Budget") indicating the anticipated costs
                       ------------------                                   
that are likely to be incurred prior to the acquisition of such Future Project
by Homestead or a Subsidiary, the amount of such costs to be funded by Loan
proceeds, which amount shall in no event exceed $100,000 per Future Project, and
a schedule setting forth the anticipated time-frames for completing the due
diligence review and obtaining required Permits (a "Development Schedule").
                                                    --------------------   

     If Homestead elects to proceed with a Future Project, then Homestead shall
provide PTR at least 10 Business Days' prior written notice (an "Acquisition
                                                                 -----------
Notice") of the anticipated closing date for the acquisition of the subject
- ------                                                                     
Land, the identity of the Borrower for such transaction, and the estimated
amount of Loan proceeds that will need to be advanced at such closing.  From and
after delivery of an Acquisition Notice to PTR, the subject project shall, for
all purposes under this Agreement, be deemed a "Project".  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, funding of the first advance of Loan
proceeds in respect of any such Project shall require the recordation of
Security Documents adding such Project as security for the Loan and the
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 5.2 as to such
                                                  -----------           
Project.

     In the event, however, that Homestead determines from time to time that any
Future Project is unacceptable to it and that Homestead will not expend further
efforts with respect to such Future Project, Homestead shall provide written
notice to PTR identifying any such Future Project.  In such event, any Pursuit
Costs theretofore funded with Loan proceeds, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon due under the terms of the Corporate Note, shall be repaid by
Homestead to PTR within 30 days after delivery of such notice to PTR.

     Section 2.4.  SUBSIDIARY LOANS.  With respect to any Future Project for
which an Acquisition Notice is delivered to PTR in accordance with Section 2.3
                                                                   -----------
above, Homestead shall have the right to determine, in its sole and absolute
discretion, that a Subsidiary acquire the

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
subject Project, in which event, the subject Subsidiary shall, at such time as
it acquires the subject Future Project, execute and deliver to PTR Subsidiary
Security Documents in connection therewith together with an agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to PTR pursuant to which such Subsidiary agrees to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement as to such Project.  In addition, at the
election of Homestead, the subject Subsidiary shall execute a Subsidiary Note in
the amount of the Loan determined by Homestead to be allocable to such Project
and the Maximum Corporate Loan Amount and/or the Maximum Partnership Loan Amount
(as Homestead may elect) shall be decreased by the amount of any such Subsidiary
Note.  Alternatively, Homestead may elect to have funds advanced with respect to
such Project under the Corporate Loan or Partnership Loan and either loan or
contribute, or cause the Partnership Borrower to loan or contribute, the funds
so advanced to the subject Subsidiary.  In the event any Subsidiary executes a
Subsidiary Note and/or any Subsidiary Security Documents as contemplated under
this Section 2.4, the parties shall, contemporaneously therewith, execute,
     -----------                                                          
deliver, and, if appropriate, record, such amendments to the Loan Documents as
may reasonably be necessary or appropriate to properly document any resulting
changes in the Maximum Corporate Loan Amount and/or the Maximum Partnership Loan
Amount.

     Section 2.5.  DURATION OF FUNDING COMMITMENT.  The obligation of PTR to
advance Loan proceeds in respect of Future Projects for which an Acquisition
Notice has not yet been delivered to PTR shall expire on March 31, 1998 (the
"Expiration Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing,
- ----------------                                                               
PTR shall continue to be obligated, subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, to continue to make advances
of Loan proceeds after such date for each Project for which an Acquisition
Notice has theretofore been delivered to PTR under the terms of this Agreement,
but shall not have any obligation to make further advances in respect of Pursuit
Costs for any Future Project for which only a Funding Notice has been delivered
to PTR.  On or before April 30, 1998, Homestead shall repay, or cause to be
repaid, to PTR any advances of Loan proceeds in respect of Pursuit Costs
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) that have not been repaid
pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof as of the Expiration Date.
            -----------                                  

     Section 2.6.   PROJECT SPECIFIC FUNDING COMMITMENT.  PTR's obligation under
this Agreement to make advances of Loan proceeds in respect of a designated
Project shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the actual aggregate hard and soft
costs incurred by the applicable Borrower in connection with the acquisition,
development, design and construction of such Project, or (ii), except as
provided in Section 6.6, the amount allocated to such Project in Exhibit A
            -----------                                          ---------
hereto, and all costs in respect of a Project in excess of the Loan amount
allocated to such Project shall, except as provided in such Section 6.6, be
                                                            -----------    
funded by Homestead as and when needed.  In addition, PTR's obligation to make
advances in respect of a designated Project shall expire on the second
anniversary of the date on which the subject Land was acquired by

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
Homestead or the applicable Subsidiary.  In the event Final Completion of such
Project has not been achieved by such date, PTR shall have no obligation to make
any further advances of Loan proceeds in connection with such Project and all
costs required to complete such Project shall be funded by Homestead as and when
required in order to assure that such Project is completed and placed in
operation as soon as is reasonably practicable.  If, however, Final Completion
of such Project has not been achieved by the date which is 30 months after the
date of acquisition of the subject Land, then, at the election of PTR, exercised
by delivering written notice to Homestead, Homestead shall repay, or cause the
applicable Subsidiary to repay, within 30 days after receipt of such notice the
amount of Loan proceeds advanced in respect of such Project (together with
accrued and unpaid interest on such amount), and upon receipt of such payment,
this Agreement, solely as it relates to such Project, shall terminate and PTR
shall cause to be released the Security Documents recorded or filed against such
Project.

     Section 2.7.  REPLACEMENT PROJECTS.  Homestead agrees that for each Future
Project rejected by Homestead pursuant to Section 2.3 (a "Rejected Project"),
                                          -----------     ----------------   
Homestead will propose to PTR in writing a proposed substitute future project (a
"Proposed Substitute Future Project") to take the place of such Rejected
 ----------------------------------                                     
Project.  Any such Proposed Substitute Future Project shall be located within
the Geographic Area and, except as specifically noted in writing by Homestead,
shall conform, to Homestead's then current knowledge, to the Prototypical
Project requirements.  Homestead may select a Proposed Substitute Future Project
from its then contemplated Homestead Village projects which Homestead is
considering pursuing or, if all such contemplated projects are then already
included within the list of Future Projects under this Agreement, then Homestead
may delay in identifying a Proposed Substitute Future Project until, in the
ordinary course of its business, a new site for a contemplated Homestead Village
project is identified within the Geographic Area.  Homestead shall not, however,
be obligated to identify a new potential Homestead Village site solely for the
purposes of presenting to PTR a Proposed Substitute Future Project.

     PTR shall have a period of 20 Business Days after receipt of any such
Proposed Substitute Project to approve or reject, in its sole and absolute
discretion, any such proposal, and failure of PTR to provide Homestead with
written notice within such 20-Business Day period shall be deemed a rejection by
PTR of the subject Proposed Substitute Future Project.  If PTR timely approves a
Proposed Substitute Future Project, then such project shall be substituted in
the place and stead of the Rejected Project in Exhibit A hereto, and shall for
                                               ---------                      
all purposes under this Agreement thereafter be deemed a Future Project.  The
maximum amount of Loan proceeds that will be available to fund such Future
Project (if Homestead thereafter delivers an Acquisition Notice for such
Project) shall be equal to the Loan amount originally allocated to the
applicable Rejected Project in Exhibit A.
                               --------- 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
     In the event that any Proposed Substitute Future Project is rejected or
deemed rejected by PTR, Homestead shall be free to pursue the Proposed
Substitute Future Project on its own.  For each Rejected Project, Homestead
shall be required (subject to the limitations set forth above) to propose to PTR
up to a maximum of three (3) Proposed Substitute Future Projects.  If PTR
rejects all three (3) Proposed Substitute Future Projects submitted by Homestead
in respect of a particular Rejected Project, then the Maximum Loan Amount, and
PTR's funding commitment hereunder, shall be reduced by the amount allocated to
the Rejected Project in Exhibit A hereto.  The obligation of Homestead to
                        ---------                                        
propose to PTR Proposed Substitute Future Projects shall in any event terminate
on the Expiration Date.

     Section 2.8.  RELEASE OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS.  The parties acknowledge and
agree that the Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of
Homestead Common Stock up to the maximum amount of the unpaid principal amount
of such Notes outstanding from time to time and otherwise pursuant and subject
to the terms and conditions of such Notes.  Any such conversion shall reduce the
amount of the debt evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Security Documents
by the amount determined in accordance with the conversion provisions of the
Notes.  In connection with any partial conversion of the Notes, Homestead may
request that, in lieu of or in addition to reducing the amount secured by the
Security Documents, PTR release any one or more of the Projects then subject to
the Security Documents and having a value equivalent to or less than the amount
of the debt reduction resulting from such  conversion.  The release of any
Projects from the lien of the Security Documents shall, however, be subject to
the approval of PTR, which approval shall not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

     At such time as all amounts owing to PTR under or in respect of any of the
Loan Documents have been paid in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents or if not paid  then, to the extent permitted under the Notes,
converted into Homestead Common Stock, and when PTR has no further obligation to
make any advance, disbursement or payment of any kind or to extend credit under
or with respect to any of the Loan Documents, then this Agreement shall
terminate and upon receipt of demand therefor from Homestead, PTR shall execute
and deliver to Homestead appropriate instruments of release or reconveyance of
any Security Documents then in effect.


                                  ARTICLE 3.

                        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     To induce PTR to enter into this Agreement, Homestead and each Borrower

given as of the date of this

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
Agreement and deemed repeated and reaffirmed on the date of each advance of
funds by PTR) as follows:

     Section 3.1.  EXISTENCE AND POWER.  Homestead and each Borrower is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
its organization and to the extent required is qualified to do business in and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns property; has full
power and authority to own its assets, to conduct the activities in which it is
engaged, and to own and develop each Project which it owns.

     Section 3.2.  AUTHORIZATION AND BINDING OBLIGATIONS.  The borrowing
evidenced by the Notes and the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and all other Loan Documents by Homestead and each Borrower (i) are
within the power of the subject entity and (ii) have been duly authorized.  Each
of the Loan Documents executed by Homestead and/or any Borrower, when executed
and delivered, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such
entity and are enforceable against such entity in accordance with its respective
terms, subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws, equitable principles, and laws
affecting creditors rights generally.

     Section 3.3.  NO LEGAL BAR OR RESULTANT LIEN.  None of the (i) execution
and delivery of, (ii) fulfillment of the terms and conditions of, or (iii) the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to which
Homestead and/or any Borrower is a party (a) violate any provisions of the
articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or partnership agreement of
such entity, (b) violate or constitute a default under any contract, agreement
or instrument, or any law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority, to which such entity is subject, (c) to such entity's knowledge,
violate or constitute a default under any Governmental Requirement so as to
create a Material Adverse Effect or (d) to such entity's knowledge, result in
the creation or imposition of any lien upon any property of such entity, other

     Section 3.4.  NO CONSENT.  The execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents to which Homestead and/or each Borrower is a party does not
require the consent or approval of any other person, including, without
limitation, any financial institution or other creditor of such entity, any
trustee, conservator, receiver or administrator, or any regulatory authority or
governmental body of the United States of America or any state thereof or any
Governmental Authority.

     Section 3.5.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  All Plans, Projects,  Properties,
Improvements and their intended use presently comply, and throughout the term of
this Agreement will continue to comply, in all material respects with all
Governmental Requirements and all public

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
and private restrictions or other agreements affecting each such Property,
including, without limitation, building codes, special use permits, zoning
codes, Environmental Laws, applicable requirements of fire underwriters,
restrictive covenants, easements and other agreements affecting the Property.
All Permits currently required by Governmental Requirements to be obtained for
the Projects now subject to this Agreement have been obtained, and neither
Homestead nor any Borrower has any reason to believe that any Permits that
subsequently may be required to enable it to construct, occupy, operate, use or
sell any of the Property will not be obtained in due course.

     Section 3.6.  LITIGATION.  Except as disclosed to PTR in writing, at the
date of this Agreement there is no litigation, legal, administrative, or
arbitral proceeding, investigation or other action of any nature pending or, to
the knowledge of Homestead or any Borrower, threatened against or affecting any
Borrower or Homestead that involves the possibility of any judgment or liability
(not fully covered by insurance) that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 3.7.  DEFAULTS.  To the knowledge of Homestead and each Borrower,
neither Homestead nor any Borrower is in default, and no event or circumstance
has occurred that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute a default, in any respect under any agreement of instrument
that may have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Event Default has occurred
hereunder.

     Section 3.8.  STATUS OF PROPERTY.  The Borrower delivering any Security
Documents to PTR is the fee simple owner of the subject Property free and clear
of all restrictions, covenants, easements, liens and encumbrances, including,
without limitation, mechanics', materialmen's and suppliers' liens (except liens
securing PTR and matters reflected in the Title Policy).  To Homestead and each
Borrower's knowledge:  each Property is a legal lot under applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances and regulations of the governing jurisdiction; each
Property is carried, or is in the process of being changed so as to be carried,
on the tax rolls of the governing jurisdiction as a separate, subdivided parcel;
each Property has, or will have upon completion of construction, full access to
the public highways and to the services of all utilities, including water, storm
sewer, sanitary sewer, electricity and telephone, required to serve the intended
use of the Property; each Property under construction or completed is zoned
under applicable zoning laws and ordinances so as to permit the construction and
development of the Project planned for such Property and the use and occupancy
of the Property as contemplated under this Agreement; and each Property under
construction or completed currently complies in all material respects with such
laws and ordinances and with all private restrictions applicable thereto and any
special use permit, variance, exception, or other special zoning authorization
applicable thereto; each Property currently complies in all material respects
with all Governmental Requirements

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
applicable thereto.  To Borrower's knowledge, the liens of the Security

                                   ARTICLE 6.

                        PROCEDURE FOR ADVANCES; RESERVES

     Section 6.1.  GENERAL.  PTR will disburse the proceeds of the Loans on a
monthly basis for the cost categories set forth in the applicable Development
Budgets and Project Budgets.  Homestead shall submit a written request for
advance in a form approved by PTR by the 25th day of each month and, provided
PTR determines that all conditions precedent to the advance

                                       29
<PAGE>
 

have been satisfied, disbursements will be made by the 1st day of the
immediately following month.  Each request for advance shall set forth, on a
Project-by-Project basis, Homestead's reasonable estimate of the hard and soft
costs and expenses incurred during the month just ending and for which
reimbursement is being sought.  With each request for advance after the first,
Homestead shall also provide a reconciliation indicating the amount by which the
immediately preceding advance made by PTR exceeded the actual hard and soft
costs for the period covered by such advance and the amount by which the request
for advance for the month just ending has been adjusted on account of any over-
or underpayment by PTR for the preceding month.  With respect to the final
advance of Loan proceeds in respect of a Project, if the final reconciliation
submitted in the month following such advance reflects that Loan proceeds in
excess of actual costs were advanced, such overpayment (together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon) shall be repaid by Borrower to PTR within 15 days
after such reconciliation is delivered to PTR.  Any additional Loan proceeds
owing to Borrower on the basis of such final reconciliation shall be advanced by
PTR with the balance of the monthly advance made by PTR under this Section 6.1.
                                                                   ----------- 

     All disbursements with respect to any request for an advance submitted
other than on the 25th day of a month will be made within ten (10) business days
after the later of (i) receipt by PTR of a written request for an advance from
Homestead in a form approved by PTR and (ii) PTR's determination that all
conditions precedent to the advance have been satisfied.

     All disbursements shall be made in accordance with any instructions
contained in the Homestead request for advance.

     Section 6.2.  PAYMENTS TO PTR. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, PTR may, at it's option and without notice or authorization by
Homestead or any Borrower, use any Loan proceeds to pay, as and when due, any
interest on the Loans.  The parties acknowledge that the Loans provide for
interest reserves in amounts sufficient to pay all interest due and payable in
respect of each Project through completion of same, and Homestead and each
Borrower specifically authorizes PTR to advance portions of such interest
reserves to pay interest on the Loans as and when the same comes due.

     Section 6.3.  RETAINAGE AND CONTRACTOR'S FEE HOLDBACK.  The parties
acknowledge that PTR shall retain, and Homestead shall not request disbursement,
of any retainages provided for under any Construction Contract, which amounts
shall be retained by PTR to secure full and complete performance of all
construction obligations hereunder (hereinafter, the "Retainage Holdback").
                                                      ------------------    
Provided no Default exists hereunder, PTR shall disburse the Retainage Holdback
in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Construction Contract as
requested by Homestead in its requests for advances.  Upon the occurrence of a
Default hereunder, PTR shall

                                       30
<PAGE>
 

have no obligation to make further disbursements from the Retainage Holdback,
and no Borrower shall be entitled to any such disbursements, until such Default
is cured.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, PTR may apply
the Retainage Holdback against any of the obligations secured by the Security
Documents as PTR sees fit or, in PTR's discretion, to the completion of any
incomplete Improvements.  Subject to the foregoing terms and provisions, to the
extent not theretofore disbursed, PTR will disburse the amounts in the Retainage
Holdback in respect of a Project concurrently with the Final Advance for such
Project.

     Section 6.4.  INTEREST RESERVE.  PTR shall, on the date hereof, withhold
from the proceeds of the Loans available for distribution the amount of Seven
Million, Nine Hundred Five Thousand, Four Hundred Sixty-Six Dollars ($7,905,466)
(the "Interest Reserve").  Provided no Default exists hereunder, the Interest
      ----------------                                                       
Reserve shall be disbursed for the payment of interest on the Loans as such
interest becomes due and payable.  Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder,
PTR shall have no obligation to make further disbursements from the Interest
Reserve, and no Borrower shall be entitled to any such disbursements, until such
Default is cured.  Should interest payable on the Loans exceed the amount of the
Interest Reserve, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such amounts.  Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, PTR may apply any undisbursed portion of the
foregoing reserve against any of the obligations secured by the Security
Documents as it sees fit or, at PTR's discretion, to the completion of and
incomplete Improvements.

     Section 6.5.  OWNER'S CONTINGENCY.  The parties acknowledge that each
Project Budget shall contain an owner's contingency (an "Owner's Contingency")
                                                         -------------------  
equal to no less than 2% of Project hard and soft costs contained within the
Project Budget.  Provided no Default exists hereunder, the Owner's Contingency
for a Project shall be disbursed by PTR to the subject Borrower to cover
unanticipated Project costs, costs associated with change orders and hard and
soft cost overruns (before such Borrower or Homestead, as guarantor under the
Completion and Payment Guaranty, shall be required to cover such additional
costs pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6 hereinbelow or the Completion
                                    -----------                              
and Payment Guaranty) as and when such payments are due and payable.  Requests
for disbursement of portions of the Owner's Contingency shall be made with
Homestead's monthly requests for advance of Loan proceeds.  Upon the occurrence
of a Default hereunder, PTR shall have no obligation to advance any portion of
the Owner's Contingency until such Default is cured.  Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, PTR may apply the Owner's Contingency against any of the
obligations secured by the Security Documents as PTR sees fit, or at PTR's
option, to the completion of any incomplete Improvements.

     Section 6.6.  COST OVERRUNS AND SAVINGS; CHANGE ORDER RESERVE.  In the
event that the costs to acquire and complete any Project in its entirety,
including, without limitation, the

                                       31
<PAGE>
 

furnishing thereof, exceed the amount of Loan proceeds available for the subject
Project (including the applicable Owner's Contingency), then the subject
Borrower shall with its own funds pay all costs and expenses which may be
required to complete the subject Project as and when such costs and expenses
become due and payable.  In the event the costs to acquire and complete any
Project are less than the amount of Loan proceeds allocated to the subject
Project, then the unapplied portion of the Loan proceeds (including any
unexpended portion of the applicable Owner's Contingency and amounts required to
be refunded by Borrower under Section 6.1 for any overpayments of Loan proceeds
                              -----------                                      
made in the final advance for a Project) shall be retained by PTR as a reserve
for Change Orders on other Projects which are made in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement (the "Change Order Reserve").  Provided no
                                     --------------------                
Default exists hereunder, the Change Order Reserve shall be disbursed by PTR to
any Borrower from time to time to cover the costs of Change Orders to the extent
any such Change Order results in Project costs exceeding the Project Budget,
including the Owner's Contingency, for such Project (before such Borrower or
Homestead, as guarantor under the Completion and Payment Guaranty, shall be
required to cover such additional costs pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.6 or the Completion and Payment Guaranty).  Requests for disbursement
- -----------                                                                    
of portions of the Change Order Reserve shall be made with Homestead's monthly
requests for advance of Loan proceeds.  Upon the occurrence of a Default
hereunder, PTR shall have no obligation to advance any portion of the Change
Order Reserve until such Default is cured.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, PTR may apply the Change Order Reserve against any of the obligations
secured by the Security Documents as PTR sees fit or, at  PTR's option, to the
completion of any incomplete Improvements.


                                   ARTICLE 7.

                               EVENTS OF DEFAULT

7.2, or the existence of any breach or inaccuracy in any of the representations,
- ---                                                                             
covenants or warranties set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents, provided, however, that (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder

such Borrower, as applicable, shall have failed to cure such breach within any
applicable notice and cure period therein provided; and (ii) no Event of Default
shall exist hereunder on account of a breach of any representation, warranty or

such breach to Homestead or such Borrower and such entity shall fail to cure the
same within 30 days after receipt of such notice, provided if such breach is of
such a nature that it cannot be cured within such 30 day period, it shall not
constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as Homestead or such Borrower,
as applicable, commences its cure of such breach within such 30 day period and
thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds with the curing of same within a
reasonable period of time not to exceed 180 days.

     Section 7.3.  JUDGMENT OR ATTACHMENT.  The entry by any court of a final
judgment in excess of $500,000 against Homestead or a Borrower that is not
satisfactorily stayed or discharged within 30 days from the date thereof, or any

the full amount thereof.

     Section 7.4.  VIOLATION OF GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.  The institution of
any judicial or administrative proceeding alleging that any of the Improvements

materially impair PTR's security.

needed for such Project (which conveyance is permitted), or a sale, conveyance,
transfer, disposition, alienation, hypothecation or encumbrancing of any legal
or equitable interest in a Borrower or Homestead in violation of the Loan

                                    REMEDIES

     Section 8.1.  GENERAL.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default an
defined in Article 7 of this Agreement, PTR, at its option, shall have the
           ---------                                                      
following rights and remedies:

                                       34
<PAGE>
 

     (a)  PTR may declare any one or more of the Notes to be immediately due and
payable, whereupon the Notes shall become forthwith due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind.

     (b)  PTR  may bring a foreclosure action with respect to the Security
Documents, take possession of any one or more of the Properties or exercise any
other remedy provided for in the Security Documents.

     (c)  PTR shall be entitled to proceed simultaneously, or selectively and
successively, to enforce its rights and remedies under the Notes, the Security
Documents, the Completion and Payment Guaranty or this Agreement, and to
exercise any or all other rights and remedies available to PTR at law or in
equity.

     (d)  In the event PTR shall elect to enforce its rights selectively under
any one or more of the Loan Documents, such action shall not be deemed a waiver
or discharge of any lien or encumbrance securing payment of the Notes until such
time as PTR shall have been paid in full all sums due under the Notes or secured
by the Security Documents, including any sums advanced or disbursed pursuant to
this Agreement.  The foreclosure of any lien provided pursuant to this Agreement
or the Security Documents, without the simultaneous foreclosure of all such
liens, shall not merge the liens granted which are not foreclosed with any
interest which PTR might obtain as a result of such selective and successive
foreclosure.

     (e)  PTR shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take possession
of any one or more of the Properties and proceed to complete the Improvements
thereto according to the applicable Plans. For this purpose, each Borrower
hereby conditionally assigns to PTR as additional security for the repayment of
the Loans all of each such Borrower's rights to the Plans for the Projects owned
by it, any contracts pertaining to the Project owned by such Borrower, whether
for construction, sale or otherwise, and any Permits pertaining to the subject
Property(ies); provided, PTR shall, upon occurrence of an Event of Default, have
the option to exercise this assignment, but shall not be obligated to accept
this assignment or to assume any liability of any Borrower under any such Plans,
contracts or Permits. Furthermore, each Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints
PTR as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to
complete, or cause to be completed, the Improvements owned by such Borrower in
the name of such Borrower and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys as
follows: (i) to use any funds of Borrower, including any balance that may be
held in escrow and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder, for the
purpose of completing the Improvements being built by such Borrower; (ii) to
make such additional changes and corrections in the Plans for such Improvements
as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to complete such Improvements in
substantially the manner contemplated by the Plans for such

                                       35
<PAGE>
 

Improvements and in a good and workmanlike manner; (iii) to employ such
contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be
required for said purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills
and claims that are or may become liens against the subject Property(ies) or any
part thereof or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the subject
Improvements or the clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and
certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by law or by any
contract relating to the subject Improvements; and (vi) to do any and every act
with respect to the applicable Property(ies) which such Borrower may do in its
own behalf.  It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be
deemed to be a power coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked.  PTR, as
attorney-in-fact, shall also have the power to defend, to the extent PTR
reasonably deems necessary, at such Borrower's cost, all actions or proceedings
in connection with the subject Improvements and Property(ies).  At the time PTR
takes possession of a Property(ies), or any part thereof, all materials on such
Property owned by Borrower shall become the property of PTR for the purpose of
completing the subject Improvements.  In addition, any materials or equipment
paid for with the proceeds of the Notes but stored at a location other than the
subject Property(ies) shall become the property of PTR when it takes possession
of the subject Property(ies).  Such Borrower shall pay PTR the cost of
completion.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes PTR to add such costs to the
indebtedness of the Borrowers to PTR, which costs shall be secured by the
Security Documents.  Any of the foregoing actions by PTR shall not relieve the
Borrowers of their responsibility to repay the Notes.  The foregoing provision
shall not be construed as creating any third party beneficiary contract and
nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as giving or conferring any rights
or benefits whatsoever to or upon any other person or entities other than the
parties to this Agreement.  Homestead shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
PTR from and against any and all claims, liabilities, loss, damages, suits,
actions, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and costs arising from
any actions taken by PTR in accordance with the power of attorney herein granted
except to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of PTR.

     (f)  PTR shall not have any obligation to make any advances under the Notes
pursuant to this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and at any time during such period, may unilaterally elect to
terminate any obligation of PTR to make any future advances under the Notes
pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 8.2.  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  No failure or delay by PTR in the
exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under the Loan Documents or
at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise by PTR of any such right or remedy preclude any further
exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy.  The remedies provided in the
Loan Documents or available at law or in equity are cumulative and not
alternative.
