ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

   Catellus Development Corporation (the Company) was organized in the state of
Delaware in 1984 as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Fe Pacific
Corporation (SFP) to conduct the non-railroad real estate activities of Santa Fe
Industries and Southern Pacific Company.  In December 1989, SFP sold 19.9% of
the Company to Bay Area Real Estate Investment Associates, L.P. (BAREIA), a
California limited partnership whose general partner was JMB/Bay Area Partners
and whose limited partner was the California Public Employees' Retirement System
(CALPERS).  In December 1990, SFP distributed its remaining 80.1% interest in
the Company to its stockholders in the form of a stock dividend.  In November
1995, BAREIA was liquidated and CALPERS became the sole holder of BAREIA's
stock.  As of December 31, 1995,  CALPERS owns 41.1% of the Company's common
stock and 40.7% of the Company's Series A preferred stock.

  The Company's principal office is located at 201 Mission Street, San
Francisco, California, 94105; its telephone number is (415) 974-4500.

  The Company is a full service real estate company that, as of December 31,
1995 owned 855,170 acres of land, 14.1 million square feet of income producing
property, 5,400 acres of land leases and interests in eight joint ventures.
Approximately 80% of the Company's assets are located in California, with the
balance mainly concentrated in Dallas, metropolitan Chicago and Phoenix.

COMPANY STRATEGIES - OVERVIEW

     During late 1994 and continuing in 1995, the Company undertook a
comprehensive review of its operations and activities with the primary goals
being to increase cash flow and return on stockholders' equity.  In particular,
the Company focused its efforts on reducing costs, selling non-strategic land
assets, reducing debt, increasing development activity, increasing third party
fee management revenue and minimizing the development costs and time frames for
its major development projects.  The Company has taken the following specific
actions:

 . In November 1994, the Company implemented significant staff reductions to
  reduce costs and reorganized to focus on increasing operating earnings. These
  reductions, when combined with other cost-reduction measures, resulted in
  annual cost savings for 1995 of approximately $10.1 million. General and
  administrative costs declined by $3.7 million; overhead associated with
  operating the portfolio declined by $3.4 million and overhead associated with
  selling properties declined by $1.5 million. In addition, the Company has
  benefited by a $1.5 million reduction in overhead costs associated with the
  Company's development activities.

 . In October 1995, the Company began the process of substantially increasing its
  asset sales activity, with the primary focus on its non-strategic land assets.
  Sales proceeds will be applied to a combination of debt reduction, in order to
  reduce interest costs, and reinvestment in activities that could generate
  increased operating earnings. The Company's goal is to sell $100 million of
  non-strategic land assets over a 15-month period ending December 31, 1996.
  Sales totaling $47.1 million closed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

 . During 1995, the Company reduced its total debt by a net $34.5 million. This
  net reduction represents the difference between $68.5 million of principal
  reductions on existing borrowings and $34 million of new borrowings which
  funded the development of pre-leased industrial and retail buildings. It is
  expected that the debt service on the new borrowings will be covered by the
  cash flow from the completed buildings; therefore, the Company's future
  operations should be improved by the interest savings on the $68.5 million of
  principal reductions.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
 . During 1995 and continuing into 1996, the Company has placed a greater
  emphasis on increasing its development and fee development businesses. During
  1995, the Company commenced construction on 910,000 square feet of new
  development, compared to 381,000 in 1994. In addition, at December 31, 1995,
  the Company had signed leases for new development totalling 648,000 square
  feet for which construction will commence in 1996. In March 1996, the Company
  acquired The Akins Companies to better position itself to pursue existing


  residential development opportunities on certain of its land holdings, as well
  as to pursue fee development opportunities on land not currently owned by the
  Company.

 . During 1995 and continuing into 1996, the Company has also placed a greater
  emphasis on increasing its third party management business. In January 1996,
  the Company announced a new five-year contract to manage the non railroad real
  estate assets for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation.

 . Beginning in 1994 and continuing throughout 1995, the Company undertook a
  review of its major land development projects with the goal of increasing
  profitability, minimizing up front capital requirements and shortening the
  time required to develop the properties. As a result of this review, the
  decision was made to modify certain of the entitlements, abandon others and
  sell one property that management believed could not be developed in a
  reasonable time frame. It is management's expectation that these decisions
  will both accelerate the time frame in which the projects will be developed
  and minimize the up front cash requirements associated with development.

     The Company's long-term financial goal is to increase its return on
stockholder equity.  In order to accomplish this, the Company will continue with
the revenue enhancement and cost reduction initiatives discussed above and will
seek opportunities to reduce its capital commitment to projects through joint
ventures, where the Company would seek financial partners to participate in some
of its more capital intensive businesses.  In addition, as the Company completes
its disposition program of non-strategic land assets, it will evaluate
opportunities to increase stockholder returns through strategic reinvestment
and/or stock repurchases.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY
- -----------------

     The following tables provide information on the Company's income producing
assets, land assets and joint venture investments.  In addition, supplemental
current value information is provided for the Company's land assets and joint
venture investments.  Current value information is provided in recognition of
the significance of the Company's land assets in relation to its total assets
and the lack of traditional cash flow or earnings measures available to evaluate
the land portfolio.  Current value does not represent the net realizable value
of the Company's portfolio as a whole, nor does it contemplate liquidation or a
distressed sale of the Company's assets.  Current value accounting continues to
represent an experimental approach; authoritative criteria have not been
established for its preparation and presentation.  The Company engaged Landauer
and Associates to provide a concurring appraisers report on its estimate of
values, which is included in an exhibit to this 10-K.

(3) The Company estimates the current value of its land assets primarily using
the direct sales comparison method. However, in cases where relevant comparable
sales data is not available, current value is estimated using the residual land
analysis method. Under the direct sales comparison approach, recent sales of
similar properties are used as a basis for estimated current value. Current
value estimates for large contiguous parcels include a discount to reflect
current market absorption rates for undeveloped land. Under the residual land
analysis approach, current value is derived based on anticipated future cash
flows associated with the Company's intended development plan. Infrastructure
costs, development costs (including costs to remediate known environmental
contamination), operating cash flow and residual sales amounts are projected
over an assumed period of development and operation. These amounts are
discounted to the balance sheet date using a discount rate the Company believes
is appropriate given the level of project risk. Current values for investments
in joint ventures represent the Company's proportionate equity in the underlying
net assets of the ventures. The current values of assets and liabilities of
joint ventures were based on methods and assumptions similar to those used to
estimate the current values of similar assets and liabilities of the Company.
Current values calculated using the above methods are adjusted to reflect the
estimated costs to remediate known environmental contamination.

      The following summarizes leasing statistics for the Company's operating
properties (square feet in thousands).

INDUSTRIAL INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTIES
- --------------------------------------

     As of the end of 1995, the Company's industrial income producing portfolio
included 11.4 million square feet in 163 buildings.  At the year end, these
buildings were 95.8% leased.  The portfolio also included 5,239 acres of land
leased for industrial uses.

     At the end of 1995, the Company also had 642,000 square feet under
construction and leases signed for an additional 648,000 square feet to be
constructed in 1996.  When these buildings are completed, the Company's
industrial income producing portfolio will be expanded to 12.7 million square
feet and 169 buildings.

     Net Operating Income - The net operating income for the industrial
portfolio increased from $40.6 million in 1994 to $41.5 million in 1995.  This
increase resulted primarily from the addition of new industrial buildings.  The
decrease in 1994 compared to 1993 was due to the sale of 1.1 million square feet
of properties near the end of 1993 and in 1994.  The following table summarizes
net operating income for the industrial portfolio (in thousands):

RETAIL INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTIES
- ----------------------------------

     As of the end of 1995, the Company's retail income producing portfolio
consisted of 957,000 square feet of existing buildings and 53.3  acres of land
leased for retail uses.  The existing income-producing retail portfolio
consisted of 29 buildings which were 92.3% leased as of December 31, 1995.

     The Company's retail properties are located primarily in Northern and
Southern California with one complex each in Colorado and Oregon.  The largest
retail project, East Baybridge Center, is located on 40 acres just across the
Bay from San Francisco in the cities of Emeryville and Oakland.  The 270,000
square foot Phase I of this project opened in mid-1994 and was pre-leased to
such national retailers as Home Depot, Sportmart, OfficeMax, Safeway's Pak 'n
Save and CompUSA.  A 117,000 square foot building for Kmart was added to the
center in 1995.

     Net Operating Income - Net operating income for the Company's retail
building portfolio rose from $5.0 million in 1994 to $8.4 million in 1995, due
to the East Baybridge Center in Emeryville, California.  The following table
summarizes net operating income for the retail portfolio (in thousands):

OFFICE INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTIES
- ----------------------------------

     At the end of 1995, the Company's office income producing portfolio
consisted of 1.7 million  square feet of office buildings and 105.9 acres of
land leased for office purposes.  At year-end 1995, this portfolio of 32 office
buildings was 92.1% leased.  The most significant office projects owned by the
Company are the South Bay Center in San Jose, California, 424,192 square feet,
and the Railway Exchange Building in Chicago, Illinois, 374,929 square feet.

     Net Operating Income - The Company experienced a decline in net operating
income from office buildings in 1995.  This decline is related primarily to the
Railway Exchange Building in Chicago, Illinois.  An increase in property taxes
in Chicago and the replacement of a major tenant with lower rent tenants caused
the building to contribute less to office net operating income than in previous
years.  The following table summarizes net operating income for the office
portfolio (in thousands):

LAND DEVELOPMENT - MIXED USE PROJECTS
- -------------------------------------

     The Company's land portfolio includes four major mixed use development
sites consisting of 1,156 acres which had a current value of $310 million at
December 31, 1995.  An additional site located in Santa Fe, New Mexico was sold
to the City of Santa Fe in 1995.

     Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA. The Company's property in San Francisco is
part of a 313 acre mixed-used development which was the subject of a 1991
Development Agreement between Catellus and the City and County of San
Francisco.  After a thorough analysis of the 1991 Development Agreement in light
of current and anticipated market conditions, management terminated this
agreement and decided to seek a revised entitlement package.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     The revised plan will include more housing and retail and less office
space; a phased development approach which would include less upfront
investment; and the use of tax increment financing, as provided by redevelopment
law.  As a result of this decision, the Company took an $84.8 million charge
against fourth quarter earnings.  (See "Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).

     Pacific Commons, Fremont, CA.  In March 1995, the Company announced its
intention to pursue a retail, industrial and commercial development rather than
a previously proposed golf course residential community on its 600-acre vacant
site bordering Interstate 880 in Fremont, California.  These are uses which were
called for by the City's General Plan designation prior to the approval of the
golf course residential project, and they are consistent with the current land
uses of adjacent property.

     The Company has moved to re-entitle Pacific Commons to include
approximately 700,000 square feet of "power center" retail and more than 7.5
million square feet of office, R&D, industrial and warehouse product.  The
vacancy rate of these uses continues to decline in Fremont and the inventory of
land for development is low.

     Union Station, Los Angeles, CA.  The Company owns 51 acres which surround
and include the historic Los Angeles Union Station.  The Company completed the
acquisition of this site in early 1990 and is proceeding with plans to develop
it as a regional transportation center and mixed-use complex of office buildings
and retail space.  Amtrak, the region's commuter rail system, suburban bus lines
and the City's new subway system serve this station daily.  The site currently
is entitled for government uses.  A revised entitlement package is being
processed which will allow a total of 7 million square feet of office
development but has the flexibility to substitute other uses such as retail, a
sports arena and housing based upon an impacts "equivalency" formula.

     Construction of the first building on the site, the 626,000 square foot
headquarters facility owned and occupied by the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA), was started in 1993 and completed in late 1995.  In addition,
the innovative multi-modal Patsaouras Transit Plaza which now serves as the
center for bus and rail service to downtown Los Angeles, was completed in 1995.
The MTA building and the Patsaouras Transit Plaza were the first two components
of Gateway Center (part of the Union Station project), a multi-phased project
that consists of two office towers comprising over 1.2 million square feet, the
3.5-acre regional public transit center and bus plaza, 20,000 square feet of
service retail, an underground parking garage and a new transit concourse
connecting the bus and train terminals.

     Union Station has also been selected as the site of the  new headquarters
facility for the Metropolitan Water District (MWD).  An agreement has been
signed under which Catellus will sell a 4.2 acre site to MWD and construct a
550,000 square foot, 12 story office building for the MWD on the site.
Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-1996 with building completion and
occupancy targeted for late 1998.

     Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, CA.  The Company owns 17 acres on the waterfront
in downtown San Diego, California.  The site is currently entitled for a mixture
of office, hotel, retail and housing development.  Management is re-evaluating
the approved plan in light of current and projected market conditions.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
- ----------------------

     The Company's plans call for expanding development activity beyond the
levels of the last two years. Approximately 1,700 acres in 15 separate locations
will be retained which will support the development of over 30 million square
feet of industrial development. The Company's goal is to develop approximately
20 million square feet over the next 5 to 7 years. The balance of the acreage
will be reserved for sale.

     In 1995, the Company completed approximately 490,000 square feet of
industrial construction.  At December 31, 1995, Catellus had 692,000 square feet
under construction and had signed leases for 648,000 square

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
feet of new industrial development.  This backlog will be enhanced during 1996
by the Company's efforts to obtain additional build-to-suit opportunities and
limited speculative development, in order to take advantage of local market
conditions.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
- -----------------------

     In March 1996, the Company concluded the acquisition of The Akins
Companies, a residential real estate company, consisting of a diversified group
of entities involved in home building, community development and project
management services.  The Akins Companies have developed more than 10,000 homes
throughout Southern California in the past 47 years.

     The new entity, now called the Catellus Residential Group, will develop the
Company's residential land holdings, projects previously started by Akins and
new development activities on property owned by others.

     The Company formed an Urban Housing division in 1995 to develop rental
housing with an affordable component on urban in-fill locations in California.
The new urban housing team within Catellus Residential Group gives the Company
the core competencies that will allow it to pursue additional higher yielding
development opportunities.

Property - The following table summarizes the Company's residential properties,
including those acquired as part of the Akins acquisition:

JOINT VENTURES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
- ------------------------------------

     The Company's joint venture interests provided net distributions to the
Company of $8.3 million in 1995 and had a current value at December 31, 1995 of
$104.3 million.  Joint ventures will continue to play an important role in
allowing the Company to accelerate the development of its land assets without
having to fund 100% of the required capital.  In addition to its joint ventures,
the Company owns Golden Gate Fields, a racetrack leased to Ladbroke Racing.

</TABLE> 

     The following is a description of some of the Company's joint ventures and
other investments:

     New Orleans Hilton. The Company owns a 25.2% interest in the 1,602-room New
Orleans Hilton Hotel. This property is strategically located between the dock
for the Flamingo Riverboat Casino and the land based Harrahs Casino.

     San Diego Embassy Suites. The Company owns a 50% interest in this 337-room
hotel overlooking the San Diego Bay near the convention center. The property
generates positive cash flow, however the existing loan requires substantial
principal paydown and prohibits cash flow distributions to the partners.
Negotiations are underway to refinance the property.

     Seabridge Apartments. The Company owns a 50% interest in this 387-unit
apartment building located one block east of the San Diego Bay. Although the
property is performing well (occupancy is consistently in the 95% range), it is
substantially overleveraged which results in nominal cash flow.

     Golden Gate Fields. The Company owns 100% of this 230-acre race track
property in Albany, California, across the Bay from San Francisco, and leases it
to the Ladbroke Racing Company. Discussions are underway to either split cash
flow 50/50, including the card club revenue, or sell the property while
retaining the right to participate in future cash flow.

     La Mirada. CDC owns a 37.8% interest in this master planned business park
located on a major distribution artery. Thirty acres from the 82-acre 
development remain available for build-to-suit or sale. Recent activity 
includes a 278,000 square foot build-to-suit for lease on 10.4 acres of land and
a sale of 3.3 acres of land. Land sales are expected to be completed in 1997
with build-to-suit leases providing ongoing cash flow.

                                       12

NATURAL RESOURCE LAND
- ---------------------

     Catellus owns more than 790,000 acres of land in the Southern California
desert regions of Los Angeles, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial
Counties, and more than 25,000 acres in the state's Central Valley.

     The Company plans to aggressively maximize the value of its "outlying"
lands. The Catellus Resources Group was created in 1995 to focus on the
potential represented by the desert and Central Valley portfolios.

     The hydrology, climate, geology and location of certain of these properties
may afford substantial water marketing, agricultural, telecommunications,
energy, and waste management opportunities for Catellus.  In addition, a major
portion of the land is well suited for environmental mitigation purposes and for
strategic trades with federal and state entities to favorably enhance the
Company's development options with other locations.

     The Resources Group will also coordinate the Company's in-house
environmental cost recovery, remediation and management activities.

     Consistent with Catellus' commitment to leverage its core competencies
beyond increasing the value of its current assets, the Resources Group will
spearhead efforts to identify additional environmentally-related business
opportunities.

REAL ESTATE SERVICES
- --------------------

Management Services

     Catellus, through its wholly owned subsidiary Catellus Management
Corporation (CMC), has entered into a five year contract with the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Corporation (BNSF), which owns the nation's largest railroad,
to provide management and disposition services for their real property assets.
The assets include approximately 19,000 leases and are located in 28 states and
2 Canadian provinces.

     The Company intends to aggressively pursue additional management service
agreements to increase recurring earnings.

Design Build Services

     Catellus was the developer on a "design build" basis in partnership with
Charles Pankow Builders, for the construction of the MTA Headquarters building
and the multi-model Patsaouras Transit Plaza at Los Angeles Union Station. The
Company intends to pursue additional design build opportunities to increase
recurring earnings. The Company is concluding final documentation with the
Metropolitan Water District for the development of their new headquarters
facility on a design build basis, again in partnership with Charles Pankow
Builders.

PROPERTY SALES
- --------------

     Historically, the Company has sold land to cover some of the costs
associated with pre-development, operating and holding the Company's substantial
real estate assets and paying preferred stock dividends.  Sales included
mountain, desert, agricultural and other non-strategic lands, as well as lands
that the Company feels might be developable in the future.  The Company has also
sold income-producing properties to cover such costs.  The Company's sales
consisted of the following over the past three years (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     In September 1995, the Company established a goal of selling $200 million
of non-strategic land assets within a 30-month period. Proceeds would be applied
to a combination of debt reduction, in order to reduce interest costs, and
reinvestment in activities that could generate increased operating earnings. The
Company's goal is to complete $100 million of these sales by December 31, 1996.
Sales totaling $47.1 million closed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
- ---------------------

     Various federal, state and local laws and regulations covering the
discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment, may affect the Company's operations and costs.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Environmental Matters." Such regulations can increase the cost of
planning, designing, developing, managing and maintaining the Company's
properties.  The Company has expended and will continue to expend significant
financial and managerial resources to comply with environmental regulations and
local permitting requirements.  While the Company or outside consultants have
evaluated the environmental liabilities associated with most of the Company's
properties, any evaluation necessarily is based upon then prevailing law and
identified site conditions.  In addition, many of the Company's properties are
in the early stages of development and the environmental studies and
investigations which have been performed are preliminary.  It is possible that
significant unknown costs and liabilities may arise in the future relating to
these properties and that certain development projects may be significantly
delayed, modified or cancelled as a result of associated remediation costs.  In
addition, other properties presently or formerly owned by the Company or its
corporate predecessors have required or may require remediation.  Although there
can be no assurance, the Company does not believe that such costs will have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of
operations.

     The Company has been or may be named a defendant or a potentially
responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), or analogous
state statutes.   At the Marina Bay site in the City of Richmond, the Company
has been sued by the City of Richmond and others in a CERCLA cost recovery
action.  This action is more fully described in Item 3 "Legal

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
Proceedings".  With respect to a site in Livermore, California, the Regional
Water Quality Control Board has issued a Tentative Site Cleanup Order naming the
Company as one of 11 responsible parties.  In February 1994, the Company reached
a settlement with plaintiffs and all of the other potentially responsible
parties pursuant to which the Company paid $67,650 into a fund covering certain
past and future remediation costs in exchange for a qualified release of
liability.  The Company has been named a PRP with respect to several additional
sites.  Remediation of those sites has been completed by the Company or is being
completed by third parties at their expense.  The Company does not expect to
incur material additional costs with respect to those sites.

COMPETITION
- ------------

     Real estate markets are regional, and levels of competition vary by market.
The Company encounters significant competition for leasing and sales of real
estate in each of its market areas, but no one competitor is dominant.  The
Company is not dependent on any one customer for a significant portion of its
revenues.

EMPLOYEES
- ----------

     At December 31, 1995, the Company had 121 employees, including 22 employees
of the management subsidiary which now manages certain BNSF properties.

     The Company engages third parties to manage properties in locations which
are not in close proximity to the Company's regional or field offices.  In
addition, the Company engages outside consultants such as architects and design
firms in connection with its pre-development activities.  The Company also
employs third party contractors on development projects for infrastructure and
building construction.

RISK FACTORS
- ------------

     This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements which, to the extent
that they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  All forward looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties.  The forward looking statements in
this document are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided
by Sections 27A and 21E.  Factors that most typically impact the Company's
operating results include (i) changes in general economic conditions in regions
in which the Company's projects are located, (ii) the availability and cost of
capital and project financing, (iii) the receipt of government approvals and
entitlements for development projects, (iv) land and building material costs,
(v) supply and demand for office, industrial and residential space, (vi)
competition from other property managers, (vii) liability for environmental
remediation at the Company's properties, (viii) ability to sell non-strategic
land assets, and (ix) ability to increase development fees. For discussions
identifying other important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements, see the
Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings; "Managements's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Form 10-K
and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     The Company's real estate projects are generally described in Item 1 above,
which descriptions are incorporated in this Item by reference.  Catellus'
principal executive office is located in San Francisco, and it has regional or
field offices in 6 other locations in the United States.  Catellus believes that
its property and equipment are generally well maintained, in good condition and
adequate for its present needs.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Catellus, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named defendants
in several lawsuits arising from normal business activities, are named parties
in certain governmental proceedings (including environmental actions)

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
and are the subject of various environmental remediation orders of local
governmental agencies arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The
matters described below may involve substantial claims for damages.  While the
outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company and the cost
of compliance with any governmental order cannot be predicted with certainty,
management does not expect any of these matters to have a material adverse
effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

     In City of Richmond, et al. v. United States of America, et al. (United
        ------------------------------------------------------------        
States District Court, Northern District of California; filed August 1989) the
City of Richmond and Richmond Redevelopment Agency (collectively, "Richmond")
and various developers sued the Company and others for more than $48.6 million
in environmental cleanup costs, other damages and related relief arising out of
contamination at property formerly owned by the Company's predecessor, Santa Fe
Land Improvement Company.  The United States and United States Maritime
Administration were also named defendants and Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical
Corporation ("Kaiser") and James L. Ferry & Son, Inc. ("Ferry") were named as
third party defendants.  All parties asserted indemnity claims against each
other.

     In 1992, plaintiffs also filed a related action regarding the same
property, seeking similar relief on similar grounds from Kaiser:  The City of
                                                                  -----------
Richmond, et al. v. Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp., (United States District
- -----------------------------------------------------                        
Court, Northern District of California).  Again, all parties asserted indemnity
claims against each other.

     Prior to trial, plaintiffs reached a settlement agreement with the United
States pursuant to which the United States agreed to pay $3.6 million plus 35%
of future cleanup costs.

     Trial began March 17, 1995 and concluded on April 28, 1995.  On April 13,
1995, the Company reached a settlement agreement with plaintiffs whereby
plaintiffs agreed to release all claims against the Company in exchange for
$3.25 million to be paid over time with the final payment to be made by July 15,
1997.

     On December 7, 1995, the Court issued a Final Judgment awarding plaintiffs
$1,703,780 on their claims against Kaiser for past costs and declaring that
Kaiser is liable to plaintiffs for 50% of certain future cleanup costs.  The
Court also awarded the Company $506,654 plus attorneys' fees associated with
its contractual indemnity claim against Kaiser.  The Court did not grant relief
on any other claim.

     On January 8, 1996, the Company filed an appeal of the judgment, and Kaiser
cross-appealed shortly thereafter.  On February 5, 1996, the Company filed a
motion to fix the amount of attorney's fees recoverable from Kaiser.  It is not
possible now to predict reliably the outcome of either the appeal or the
attorneys' fees motion.  Settlement discussions with Kaiser are on-going.

     The Company tendered defense of this action to its insurer, Employers
Casualty Insurance Company (Employers).  However, on January 6, 1994, Employers
was placed into receivership.  The Company, Employers and its receiver entered
into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company has received $300,000
and the receiver and Employers stipulated that the Company has a valid claim for
an additional $700,000 for past defense costs against Employers' assets in the
receivership.  The Company does not know the extent of other claims which will
be made against the assets in receivership or the extent of the assets which
will be available to satisfy such claims.  Therefore, the Company does not know
how much, if any, of the $700,000 or future defense costs will be paid out of
the assets in receivership.

     Efforts are being made to recover additional sums from other insurers,
including those who provided excess coverage and insurers who issued policies to
the Company's former tenants, which policies named the Company's predecessor as
an additional insured.  The Company has received from insurers payments totaling
$2,635,689 plus commitments to pay 100% of future litigation defense costs.  It
is not clear at this time whether or how much additional monies will be obtained
from insurers.  Negotiations are continuing.

     The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. The Testate and Intestate
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Successors of Grace Richards, et al. (Superior Court of California, County of
- ------------------------------------                                         
San Diego; filed May 1983) and Herbert Lincoln Hubbard, et al. v. The Atchison,
                               ------------------------------------------------
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, et al.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Superior Court of California, County of San Diego; filed January 1988) are
consolidated cases in which both the Company and the opposing litigants claim
title to a 550 foot by 75 foot strip of property located on the Santa Fe Depot
site in San Diego, CA.  The opposing litigants also seek damages for alleged
fraud, interference with prospective economic advantage, and inverse
condemnation.  The trial court ruled that the Company and some of the opposing
litigants each own an undivided one-half fee interest in the property, subject
to a perpetual railroad easement in favor of The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway Company.  The trial court also rejected all of the opposing litigants'
damage claims.

     The Company appealed the portion of the trial court's judgment granting the
opposing litigants a one-half undivided fee interest in the property and the
opposing litigants appealed all other aspects of the judgment.  In July, 1995
the California Court of Appeal ruled for the Company on every issue.
Specifically, the Court of Appeals determined that the Company's predecessor-in-
interest had acquired fee title to the property in the original condemnation
proceeding (which occurred in 1886).  This ruling eliminated the opposing
litigants' claim that the Company's predecessor-in-interest had lost its right
of way by abandonment or extinguishment and this had no interest left to convey
to the Company.

     The opposing litigants petitioned the California Supreme Court for review,
which was granted in October, 1995.  The Supreme Court has deferred any briefing
and has not scheduled a hearing.

     Khachaturian v. Catellus Development Corporation, et al. (Superior Court of
     --------------------------------------------------------                   
California, County of Alameda; filed April 1991) is an action by an auto dealer
who contracted to purchase land from the Company in an auto mall in Fremont,
California, in June 1990.  The complaint alleged the Company had reneged on an
oral agreement to pay the plaintiff a 3% commission on each land transaction in
the auto mall, and stated breach of contract, fraud, false promise, bad faith
denial of contract, and quantum meruit causes of action.  The Company asserted,
among other things, that no such agreement existed and that it denied
plaintiff's claim in good faith and with probable cause.

     In November 1993, a jury found for plaintiff on his breach of contract and
bad faith denial claims, awarding him $441,781 in compensatory damages and $7.6
million in punitive damages on the bad faith claim.  The Company believed these
verdicts were not supported by the evidence or the law, and that numerous errors
at trial substantially prejudiced it.  The Company filed its notice of appeal on
February 3, 1994, and briefing was completed on February 7, 1995.  In September,
the California Supreme Court, in an unrelated lawsuit in which the Company filed
an amicus brief, repudiated California's tort of bad faith denial of contract,
on which punitive damages against the Company were premised.

     The parties recently agreed to a settlement pursuant to which the Company
has paid plaintiff $850,000 in complete settlement of all issues.

     Truck Insurance Exchange v. City of Ontario, et al. (Superior Court of
     ---------------------------------------------------                   
California, San Bernardino County, Case No. RCY050056) involves a subrogation
claim by insurance companies for the Ontario Auto Center dealerships against
adjacent property owners, including the Company, for damages of approximately
$4.5 million caused by sand blowing onto auto dealers' properties.  The parties
reached agreement upon a settlement pursuant to which Santa Fe Pacific
Corporation has paid plaintiffs the total amount of $25,000, which represents
the amount of the self-insured retention under the Employers' policy, in
exchange for a release and dismissal of this lawsuit against Santa Fe Pacific
Corporation and the Company.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS



OVERVIEW

Historically, the aggregate costs of holding and operating the Company's real
estate assets and paying preferred stock dividends have exceeded revenue from
property operations, development and other recurring sources.  In addition, the
Company's cash requirements have been increased by the funds necessary to
support the predevelopment and entitlement efforts for its major land
development projects.  The resulting cash flow deficits have been funded by
borrowings, the issuance of preferred stock and the sale of sufficient assets to
meet the Company's overall cash requirements.

The Company's short term financial goal is to eliminate the cash flow deficits
resulting from interest and preferred stock dividends exceeding operating cash
flow by the fourth quarter of 1996.  To do this, the Company has taken the
following steps:

 .  In November 1994, the Company implemented significant staff reductions to
   reduce costs and reorganized to focus on increasing operating earnings.
   These reductions, when combined with other cost-reduction measures, resulted
   in annual cost savings for 1995 of approximately $10.1 million.  General and
   administrative costs declined by $3.7 million; overhead associated with
   operating the portfolio declined by $3.4 million and overhead associated with
   selling properties declined by $1.5 million.  In addition, the Company has
   benefited by a $1.5 million reduction in overhead costs associated with the
   Company's development activities.

 .  In October 1995, the Company began the process of substantially increasing
   its asset sales activity, with the primary focus on its non-strategic land
   assets.  Sale proceeds will be applied to a combination of debt reduction, in
   order to reduce interest costs, and reinvestment in activities that could
   generate increased operating earnings.  The Company's goal is to sell $100
   million of non-strategic land assets over a 15-month period ending December
   31, 1996.  Sales totaling $47.1 million closed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

 .  During 1995, the Company reduced its total debt by a net $34.5 million.  This
   net reduction represents the difference between $68.5 million of principal
   reductions on existing borrowings and $34 million of new borrowings which
   funded the development of pre-leased industrial and retail buildings.  It is
   expected that the debt service on the new borrowings will be covered by the
   cash flow from the completed buildings; therefore, the Company's future
   operations should be improved by the interest savings on the $68.5 million of
   principal reductions.

 .  During 1995 and continuing into 1996, the Company has placed a greater
   emphasis on increasing its development and fee development businesses.
   During 1995, the Company commenced construction on 910,000 square feet of new
   development, compared to 381,000 in 1994.  In addition, at December 31, 1995,
   the Company had signed leases for new development totalling 648,000 square
   feet for which construction will commence in 1996.  In March 1996, the
   Company acquired The Akins Companies to better position itself to pursue
   existing residential development opportunities on certain of its land
   holdings, as well as to pursue fee development opportunities on land not
   currently owned by the Company.

 .  During 1995 and continuing into 1996, the Company has also placed a greater
   emphasis on increasing its third party management business.  In January 1996,
   the Company announced a new five-year contract to manage the non-railroad
   real estate assets for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation.

 .  Beginning in 1994 and continuing throughout 1995, the Company undertook a
   review of its major land development projects with the goal of increasing
   profitability, minimizing up front capital requirements and shortening the
   time required to develop the properties.  As a result of this review, the
   decision was made to

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
   modify certain of the entitlements, abandon others and sell one property that
   management believed could not be developed in a reasonable time frame.  It is
   management's expectation that these decisions will both accelerate the time
   frame in which the projects will be developed and minimize the up front cash
   requirements associated with development.

     The Company's long-term financial goal is to increase its return on
stockholder equity.  In order to accomplish this, the Company will continue with
the revenue enhancement and cost reduction initiatives discussed above and will
seek opportunities to reduce its capital commitment to projects through joint
ventures, where the Company would seek financial partners to participate in some
of its more capital intensive businesses.  In addition, as the Company
completes its disposition program of non-strategic land assets, it will evaluate
opportunities to increase stockholder returns through strategic reinvestment
and/or stock repurchases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table (in thousands) summarizes the Company's operating deficit
after adjustment for fixed charges, leasing costs and joint venture cash flow.
The Company believes that this presentation is meaningful in order to understand
its progress in achieving its near-term goal of eliminating operating cash flow
deficits by the fourth quarter of 1996.

Comparison of 1995 to 1994

     The Company had 1995 operating income of $66.6 million compared to $59.3
million for 1994.  This improvement resulted primarily from the overhead
reduction program initiated at the end of 1994, as well as increased rental
revenue.

     The more significant changes in rental revenue and property operating costs
are summarized below (in millions):

</TABLE>

     The increase in revenue for industrial buildings was due to new buildings
completed in 1995 and the fourth quarter of 1994, and was partially offset by
reduced rentals from existing properties.  Operating costs for the industrial
portfolio decreased due to the staff reductions described earlier.  The increase
in revenue and costs for retail buildings was primarily due to the completion of
the East Baybridge shopping center in late 1994.  Rental revenue for the
Company's office portfolio decreased primarily due to the expiration of an above
market lease in one building and a reduction in occupancy from 96% at the end of
1994 to 92% at the end of 1995.  In addition, the Company's operating costs for
its office portfolio increased $1 million due to increased property taxes
resulting from the reassessment of an office building.

     Land holding costs decreased due to the sale of $62.2 million of non-
strategic land assets and the overhead reduction program described above.

     Joint venture earnings decreased $.9 million.  The decrease consists
principally of $2.5 million in land sales in 1994 from one joint venture,
partially offset by significantly improved operating results from a hotel joint
venture.

     General and administrative costs decreased in 1995 due to the staff
reductions described earlier.

     Net interest costs increased $.6 million, representing the net effect of
additional borrowings which funded the Company's development activity offset by
a reduction in interest rates in 1995 as compared to 1994.  As described
earlier, the Company's future operations should be improved in 1996 by the
interest savings on $68.5 million of principal reductions, $58 million of which
occurred at year-end.

     During 1995, the Company capitalized $23.6 million of interest compared to
$24 million in 1994.  Of the interest capitalized in 1995, $16.3 million related
to the Company's Mission Bay project.  As described below, the Company took an
$84.8 million charge in 1995 resulting from its decision to terminate the
Development Agreement for Mission Bay.  In the future, the Company will not
capitalize interest and property taxes relating to Mission Bay until it has
received revised entitlements and commences development.

     In October 1995, the Company announced a goal of selling $100 million of
non-strategic land assets over a 15 month period ending December 31, 1996.
Sales totalling $47.1 million closed in the fourth quarter, and the Company had
contracts for the sale of an additional $23.6 million at December 31, 1995.
(One contract for $8 million was cancelled subsequent to year-end; however, the
Company does not believe this will have a material

                                       24

impact on its ability to meet its sales goals).  Total asset sales in 1995 were
$65.4 million, consisting of $62.2 million of non-strategic land assets and $3.2
million of developed industrial property.  In 1994, total asset sales were $53.8
million, and included $21.5 million of income producing properties.  In addition
to its non-strategic land assets, the Company had open contracts for the sale of
$21.1 million of other properties at December 31, 1995.

     During 1995, the Company took a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $102.4 million
to adjust the carrying value of certain property, which included $84.8 million
resulting from the Company's decision to terminate the 1991 Development
Agreement for its Mission Bay project in San Francisco.  This agreement provided
for the development of 4.8 million square feet of office space, market rate and
affordable housing, retail and industrial uses.  The Company completed an
analysis of the implications of the 1991 Development Agreement in light of
current and anticipated market conditions and projected construction costs and
concluded that the financial obligations imposed by that agreement render the
project uneconomic.  Management therefore elected to terminate the 1991
Development Agreement and seek approval of a revised entitlement package which
would include: more housing and retail and less office space; a phased
development approach which would require less upfront investment; and the use of
tax increment financing, as provided by redevelopment law, to finance a
significant portion of the public infrastructure and affordable housing.

     The Company has taken an additional charge against earnings of $17.6
million relating to other property where the carrying costs exceed what
management expects to recover through the anticipated sale of such property.

     In addition to the charge against earnings discussed above, the 1995
results include income of $6.5 million for the favorable reversal of a
litigation award and a $7.4 million charge to environmental expense as a result
of management's reassessment of potential environmental exposures.  The 1994
results included a $3.1 million restructuring charge and a $24.1 million
property write-down.

Comparison of 1994 to 1993

     The Company had 1994 operating income of $59.3 million compared to $59
million for 1993.  This improvement resulted from increased joint venture
earnings, offset by higher overhead costs.

     The more significant changes in rental revenue and property operating costs
are summarized below:

</TABLE>

     Rental revenue for the income producing portfolio decreased primarily due
to the sale of 1.1 million square feet of industrial buildings, .2 million
square feet of office buildings, .1 million square feet of retail buildings and
12 land leases in late 1993 and in 1994. Together, these sales had the impact of
reducing rental income $5.3 million in 1994. The reductions were partially
offset by rental income from industrial and retail buildings completed in 1994
and by an increase in occupancy from 91.6% at the end of 1993 to 95.9% at the
end of 1994 in the office portfolio. Property operating costs for the income
producing portfolio declined slightly due to the building and land lease sales
referred to above.

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
     Rental revenue from land holdings decreased principally due to leases for
temporary rentals in 1993 that expired in 1994.  Related operating costs
decreased due to the sale of $32.3 million of non-strategic land assets.

     Joint venture earnings increased significantly in 1994 as a result of
property sales by one joint venture and improved operating results of a hotel
joint venture.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was caused
by executive severance and search costs, as well as increased use of outside
professional services.  Interest expense decreased principally because of the
refinancing of the Prudential loan at a lower interest rate, as well as paydown
of other loans and the conversion of the debenture.

     The decrease in the gain on property sales resulted from both lower sales
and higher cost basis in properties sold.  Property sales in 1994 included $21.5
million from sales of buildings and land leases, which generated gross profit of
$3 million, and land sales of $32.3 million which generated gross profit of
$10.3 million.  For 1993, sales and gross profit for buildings and land leases
were $46.1 million and $22.7 million; land sales of $26.4 million generated
gross profit of $10.5 million.

     During 1994, the Company also took a non-cash $24.1 million adjustment to
the carrying value of property and a  non-cash $3.1 million restructuring
charge.  The 1993 results included a $29.6 million charge for the conversion of
a convertible debenture into common stock, an $11.9 million extraordinary
expense in connection with the Prudential refinancing, an $8.3 million reserve
for a litigation award, and a $32.5 million adjustment to the carrying value of
property.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES


Cash flow from operating activities

     Cash provided by operating activities reflected in the statement of cash
flows in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $93.6 million, $51.1 million and $26.6 million.
The increase in 1995 is primarily due to a higher level of land sales, an
increase in cash from rental operations, and lower general and administrative
costs.  The increase in 1994 is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest
costs from refinancing of the Company's debt.

     Cash generated from sales of land was $55.3 million, $21.5 million and
$17.8 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993.  Cash generated from rental operations
increased principally because of new buildings.  For the five years from 1996
through 2000, leases for 20.1%, 14.0%, 7.4%, 8.7% and 10.1% of total square
footage are scheduled to expire.

Cash flow from investing activities

     Net cash flow from investing activities reflected in the statement of cash
flows increased $58.3 million from 1994 to 1995 and decreased $65.4 million from
1993 to 1994.  The increase in 1995 resulted primarily from the conversion of
short-term commercial paper and government securities into cash, offset by lower
cash generated by the sale of investment and other properties.  The decrease in
1994 is primarily attributable to the investment of cash into short-term
commercial paper and government securities, a reduction in proceeds from sales
of operating properties and an increase in capital expenditures.  Net cash used
for investing activities included the following capital expenditures (in
millions):

 Cash flow from financing activities

     Net cash used by financing activities reflected in the statement of cash
flows in 1995 and 1994 was $60.7 million and $100.4 million; net cash provided
by financing activities in 1993 was $120.2 million.  These amounts reflect
borrowing and repayment activity relating to operating properties (including
principal amortization), capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
In 1995, the Company closed a $47 million secured term loan to refinance
properties which were previously financed by loans which matured.  The Company
also closed a $33 million secured term loan which refinanced an existing
maturing construction loan and reimbursed the Company for previously expended
costs.  In addition, the Company closed construction loans totalling $18.7
million.  The 1994 and 1993 amounts reflect principally the net proceeds from
the Series A and B preferred stock offerings, and the use of a part of those
proceeds to repay debt, as described below.

     At December 31, 1995, the Company had total outstanding debt of $496.2
million, of which 73% was non-recourse to the Company and secured by the
underlying property only, 25% was recourse to the Company and also secured by
underlying property, and 2% was unsecured.  During the next twelve months, $85.1
million of debt matures; 77% of this amount is construction financing or
intermediate term loans, which are expected to be extended, refinanced and
converted into permanent loans or repaid.

Refinancing of Prudential Mortgage Loan

     In February 1994, the Company refinanced its $388.2 million mortgage loan
from The Prudential Insurance Company of America with cash generated from the
issuance of preferred stock and a $280 million mortgage loan due March 1, 2004.
In connection with this refinancing, the Company also paid down $10 million of
another mortgage loan from Prudential due January 1, 1996, and incurred an
extraordinary expense of $11.9 million ($7.4 million, net of income tax
benefits).  This extraordinary expense consisted of a $10 million redemption
premium paid to Prudential and the write-off of deferred financing costs
associated with the $388.2 million loan.  The reduced interest resulting from
the above debt paydowns, as well as other debt paydowns in 1993 and 1994, was
partially offset by the increased dividend requirements of the preferred stock
sold in 1993.

Debt covenants

     Certain of the Company's loan agreements contain restrictive financial
covenants and several agreements are cross-defaulted.  The most restrictive
covenants limit annual dividends to $27.6 million and require stockholders'
equity to be no less than $425 million.  The stockholders' equity covenant was
amended effective December 31, 1995, changing the requirement from $475 million
to $425 million.  As a result, at December 31, 1995, the Company had a cushion
of $17.9 million under that covenant.

Cash balances and available borrowings

     At December 31, 1995, cash and cash equivalents totalled $27.7 million.  In
addition, the Company had available $48 million under its working capital
facility, $33.2 million under its construction facilities, and $.5 million under
its secured term loan facilities.

     In December 1995, the Company renewed its unsecured revolving facility
which was due to expire on December 31, 1995.  Upon renewal, the facility was
reduced to $48 million from $62.5 million ($75 million at December 31, 1994) and
the revolving period was extended to December 31, 1996.

     In January 1995, the Company entered into an $85 million revolving
construction line of credit and in July 1995 increased the line an additional
$15 million.  This credit facility renews and increases a $75.5 million credit
line.  In July 1995, the Company entered into another $25 million revolving
construction line of credit.  The credit facility will be used to fund new
Company development in twelve states in the Southwest.

Income Taxes

     At December 31, 1995, the Company's deferred tax liability consisted of
deferred tax assets totalling $136 million and deferred tax liabilities of $226
million.  Deferred tax assets included $13 million relating to net operating
loss carryforwards (NOLs) of $35.8 million.  NOLs of $12.1 million, $16.9
million, $6.5 million and $.3 million expire in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.  The
Company's other deferred tax assets of $123 million relate primarily to
differences between book and tax basis of properties. These deferred tax assets
are not subject to expiration and will likely be realized at the time of taxable
dispositions of the properties. Deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred
tax assets are often associated with the same property, with the result that the
deferred tax asset will likely be realized in a taxable disposition, without
regard to other taxable income.  The Company believes it is more likely than not
that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, and that no
valuation allowance is required. In making this determination, the Company
considered: the nature of its deferred tax assets (and liabilities); the amounts
and expiration dates of its NOLs; the historical levels of taxable income; the
significant unrealized appreciation of its properties, including surplus
properties likely to be sold during the NOL carryforward periods; and its
ability to control the timing of property sales in order to assure that deferred
tax assets will be offset by deferred tax liabilities or realized appreciation.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     Many of the Company's properties are in urban and industrial areas and may
have been leased to commercial or industrial tenants who may have discharged
hazardous materials.  From 1993 to 1995, expensed and capitalized environmental
costs, including legal fees, totalled $22.5 million.  The Company expects to
spend $6.7 million for such costs in 1996.  These costs may increase as the
Company develops its major projects.

     Future environmental costs are difficult to estimate with certainty.  The
Company and outside consultants have evaluated the environmental liabilities
associated with most of the Company's properties, however any evaluation
necessarily is based on the prevailing law and identified site conditions at
that time. Although the Company closely monitors its environmental costs, the
size of the portfolio precludes extensive review of every property on a regular
basis.

     Environmental costs incurred in connection with operating properties and
properties previously sold are expensed.  At December 31, 1995, management has
provided a reserve of $13.8 million for such costs.  These costs are expected to
be incurred over an estimated ten-year period, with a substantial portion
incurred over the next five years.

     Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and will be charged
to cost of sales when the properties are sold.  Costs relating to undeveloped
properties are capitalized as part of development costs.  At December 31, 1995,
the Company's estimate of its potential liability for identified environmental
costs relating to properties to be developed or sold ranged from $18 million to
$59 million.  These costs generally will be capitalized as they are incurred,
over the course of the estimated development period of approximately 20 years.

     Although an unexpected event could have a material impact on the results of
operations for any period, the Company does not believe that such costs for
identified liabilities will have a material adverse effect on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flow.  See Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL CURRENT VALUE

     Historically, the Company has provided an annual supplemental current value
balance sheet in addition to historical cost financial statements.  The Company
discontinued this practice in 1995.  In the past, this disclosure was an
attempt to address the difference between the low historical cost of the
Company's assets and their current value.  However, the current value process is
expensive and has significant limitations.  In particular, short-term values can
fluctuate resulting from changes in interest rates, capitalization rates and
development assumptions that

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
are not necessarily indicative of the long term value of the Company's
portfolio.  Management believes that, over time, a more relevant measure of  the
long-term value of the Company is its growth in cash flow.

     For 1995, the Company has provided supplemental current value information
on land assets and joint venture investments (along with an appraiser's opinion)
and has also provided expanded financial data so that investors can better
evaluate the performance of its income producing assets.  In future years, the
Company expects to discontinue current value reporting altogether.

     As of December 31, 1995, the Company's land portfolio and joint venture
portfolio had a current value of $1.039 billion compared to $1.037 billion for
the same assets in 1994.  Although the total value was relatively unchanged, the
Company experienced increased values for its joint venture investments and
portions of its industrial development portfolio.  These increases were
partially offset by reductions in certain of the Company's larger land parcels.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Catellus Development Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Catellus Development Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and
1994 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  The financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audits 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Headquartered in San Francisco, Catellus Development Corporation (the
Company) is a full service real estate company that manages and develops real
estate for its own account and others.  The Company's portfolio of industrial,
retail and office projects, undeveloped land and joint venture interests are
located in major markets in California and 10 other states.  The Company's
operating properties consist primarily of industrial facilities, along with a
number of office and retail buildings located in California, Arizona, Illinois,
Texas, Colorado and Oregon.  The Company also has substantial undeveloped land
holdings primarily in these same states.

NOTE 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Principles of consolidation - The accompanying financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and investees over 50% owned which are controlled by
the Company.  All other investees are accounted for using the equity method.

     Revenue recognition - Rental revenue, in general, is recognized when due
from tenants; however, revenue from leases with rent concessions is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease.  Direct costs of
negotiating and consummating a lease are deferred and amortized over the initial
term of the related lease.

     The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of properties using the
accrual method.  Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale
are accounted for under the installment method.  In general, specific
identification is used to determine the cost of sales.  Estimated future costs
to be incurred by the Company after completion of each sale are included in cost
of sales.

     Cash, restricted cash and short-term investments - The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.  Restricted cash in 1994 represents amounts
held in escrow in connection with a property transaction.  Short-term
investments in 1994 represent primarily commercial paper and government
securities which mature within one year from time of purchase and had an average
yield of 5.42%.

     Financial instruments - The cost basis of the Company's notes receivable
and debt approximate fair value, based upon current market rates for commercial
real estate loans of similar risks and maturities.

     Property and deferred costs - Real estate is stated at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value.  In cases where the Company determines that the carrying
costs for properties held for sale exceeds estimated fair value, or that an
impairment has been sustained, a write-down to estimated fair value is recorded.
A property is considered impaired when the property's estimated undiscounted
future cash flow, before interest charges,  is less than its book value.  This
evaluation is made on a property by property basis.  The evaluation of fair
value and undiscounted cash flow requires significant judgement; it is
reasonably possible that a change in the estimate could occur.  The adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" had
no impact on the Company's financial statements.

     The Company capitalizes construction and development costs.  Costs
associated with financing or leasing projects are also capitalized and amortized
over the period benefitted by those expenditures.

                                      F-8

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are depreciated using lives of between 20 and 40 years.  Tenant
improvements are depreciated over the primary terms of the leases (generally 3-
15 years), while furniture and equipment are depreciated using lives ranging
between 3 and 10 years.

     Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred, while
significant improvements, replacements and major renovations are capitalized.

     Allowance for uncollectible accounts - Accounts receivable are net of an
allowance for uncollectible accounts totalling $1.8 million and $1.9 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The provision for uncollectible accounts in 1995,
1994 and 1993 totalled $.5 million, $1.0 million and $.1 million.

     Environmental costs - The Company incurs on-going environmental remediation
costs, including clean-up costs, consulting fees for environmental studies and
investigations, monitoring costs, and legal costs relating to clean-up,
litigation defense, and the pursuit of responsible third parties.  Costs
incurred in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold
are expensed.  Costs relating to undeveloped land are capitalized as part of
development costs.  Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and
will be charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold.  Environmental
costs charged to operations, including amounts charged to cost of sales, for
1995, 1994 and 1993 totalled $8.1 million, $4.6 million and $5.5 million.
Environmental costs capitalized in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $1.7 million, $1.2
million and $1.4 million.  The Company maintains a reserve, included in the
caption "deferred credits and other liabilities",  for known, probable costs of
environmental remediation to be incurred in connection with operating properties
and properties previously sold.  This reserve was $13.8 million and $8.4 million
at December 31, 1995 and 1994.  When there is a legal requirement for
environmental remediation of developable land, the Company will accrue for the
estimated cost of remediation and capitalize that amount.  Where there is no
legal requirement for remediation, costs will be capitalized, as incurred, as
part of the project costs.

     Income taxes - Income taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of
the difference between the tax and financial reporting basis of the Company's
assets and liabilities.  In estimating future tax consequences,  expected future
events are considered except for potential income tax law or rate changes.

     Loss per share - Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing
net loss, after reduction for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Fully diluted
earnings per share amounts have not been presented because assumed conversion of
the Series A and Series B preferred stock would be anti-dilutive for all
relevant periods.  Assuming conversion of the Debenture on January 1, 1993, the
net loss and loss before extraordinary item for 1993 would have been $.93 and
$.84 per share.

     Use of estimates - The  preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

     Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

NOTE 3.  RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS

     In November 1994, the Company announced a major restructuring to refocus
the Company and to improve the Company's long-term cash position.  This
restructuring, which was implemented in 1995, resulted in a $3.1 million non-
recurring operating expense in 1994.  Costs associated with the restructuring
included $1.9 million related to employee termination benefits, $.8 million
related to lease cancellation fees and costs attributable to permanently idle
leased facilities, and $.4 million for the consolidation of operations.  As of
December 31, 1995, $3 million of the restructuring charges had been paid.

NOTE 4.  MORTGAGE AND OTHER DEBT

(a) The Company refinanced its $388.2 million first mortgage loan with The
    Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential) on February 18, 1994
    with a $280 million first mortgage loan.  In connection with this
    refinancing, the Company incurred an extraordinary expense of $11.9 million
    ($7.4 million, net of income tax benefits).  This extraordinary expense,
    which was recognized in 1993, consisted primarily of a redemption premium
    paid to Prudential and the write-off of deferred financing costs associated
    with the $388.2 million loan.  The loan is collateralized by a majority of
    the Company's operating properties and by an assignment of rents generated
    by the underlying properties.  This loan has a penalty if paid prior to
    maturity.

(b) These first mortgage loans are collateralized by certain of the Company's
    operating properties and by an assignment of rents generated by the
    underlying properties.  A majority of these loans have penalties if paid
    prior to maturity.

(c) The Company's secured term loans are collateralized by certain operating
    properties and by an assignment of rents generated by the underlying
    properties.  At December 31, 1995, $.5 million was available for future
    borrowings.

(d)  The Company has a $48 million unsecured revolving facility and a $7 million
     unsecured term facility.  In December 1995, the Company renewed its
     unsecured revolving facility which was due to expire on December 31, 1995.
     Upon renewal, the facility was reduced to $48 million from $62.5 million
     ($75 million at December 31, 1994) and the revolving period was extended to
     December 31, 1996.  As of December 31, 1995, nothing was outstanding under
     the revolving facility, leaving the entire $48 million available for future
     borrowings.

(e)  The Company's construction loans are used to finance development projects
     and are secured by the related land and buildings and by an assignment of
     rents generated by the underlying properties.  In January 1995, the Company
     entered into an $85 million revolving construction line of credit and in
     July 1995 increased the  line an additional $15 million.  This credit
     facility renews and increases a $75.5 million credit line. In July 1995,
     the Company entered into another $25 million revolving construction line of
     credit.  The credit facility will be used to fund new Company development
     in twelve states in the Southwest.  At December 31, 1995, $33.2 million was
     available for future borrowings under all construction lines.

(f)  The assessment district bonds are issued through local municipalities to
     fund the construction of public infrastructure and improvements which
     benefit the Company's properties.  These bonds are secured by certain of
     the Company's properties.

     Certain loan agreements contain restrictive financial covenants.  The most
restrictive covenants limit annual dividends to $27.6 million and require
stockholders' equity to be no less than $425 million.  Other covenants
accelerate payment upon certain change of control events and contain negative
pledges with respect to certain of the Company's properties.  The Company was in
compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 1995.

     The maturities of mortgage and other debt outstanding as of December 31,
1995 are summarized as follows:

     The Company increased its tax expense and related deferred tax liability by
$3 million in 1993 as a result of legislation enacted in August 1993 increasing
the federal tax rate from 34% to 35% commencing January 1, 1993.

NOTE 6.  JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENTS

     The Company is involved in a variety of real estate-oriented joint venture
activities.  At December 31, 1995, these included two hotels, one office
building, a 900,000 square foot trade mart center for the contract and home
furnishing industries, an apartment complex and other projects in the early
stages of development.

     The Company had a loan outstanding to one of its joint ventures in the
amount of $1.7 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The loan bears interest
at one percentage point over the rate payable under the joint venture's note to
its creditor bank (10.25% at December 31, 1995) and is secured by a second lien
on the joint venture property.  Principal and interest were due on or before
February 1, 1996.  The Company expects to convert this note to joint venture
equity.   At December 31, 1993, the Company had outstanding a loan and related
accrued interest to a joint venture partner in the aggregate amount of $.6
million.  During 1994, this amount was exchanged for additional ownership in the
related joint venture.

     The Company guarantees a portion of the debt and interest of certain of its
joint ventures.  At December 31, 1995, these guarantees totalled $8.9 million.

     The condensed combined balance sheets and statements of income of the joint
ventures, along with the Company's proportionate share, are summarized as

     The Company's proportionate share of venturers' deficit is an aggregate
amount for all ventures.  Because the Company's ownership percentage differs
from venture to venture, and certain ventures have accumulated deficits while
others have accumulated equity, the Company's percentage of venturers' deficit
is not reflective of the Company's ownership percentage of the ventures.

     During 1995, the Company took a charge of $102.4 million to adjust the
carrying value of certain property, which included $84.8 million resulting from
the Company's decision to terminate the 1991 Development Agreement for its
Mission Bay project in San Francisco.  The Company completed an analysis of the
implications of the 1991 Development Agreement in light of current and
anticipated market conditions and projected construction costs and concluded
that the financial obligations imposed by that agreement render the project
uneconomic.  Management therefore elected to terminate the 1991 Development
Agreement and seek approval of a revised entitlement package.  The revised
carrying value of Mission Bay represents management's best estimate of its fair
value, assuming the Company is successful in re-entitling the property, and
approximates the amount included in the Company's current value reporting for
December 31, 1994, less anticipated costs of obtaining new entitlements.

     The Company has taken an additional charge against earnings of $17.6
million relating to other property where the carrying value exceeded what
management expects to recover through the anticipated sale of such property.

     The Company also took charges of $24.1 million and $32.5 million in 1994
and 1993 to adjust the carrying  value of certain property.

NOTE 12.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND STOCK OPTION PLANS

     The Company has a profit sharing and savings plan for all employees.
Funding consists of employee contributions along with matching and discretionary
contributions by the Company.  Total expense for the Company under this plan was
$.2 million, $.6 million and $.6 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993.

     The Company has various plans through which employees may purchase common
stock of the Company.

     The Incentive Stock Compensation Plan (Substitute Plan) was adopted to
provide substitute awards to employees whose awards under certain plans of the
former parent company, Santa Fe Pacific Corporation (SFP) were forfeited as a
result of the Company's spin-off from SFP in 1990.  The number of shares,
exercise price and expiration dates of these awards were set so the participant
retained the full unrealized potential value of the original SFP grant.  Options
became exercisable after March 5, 1992 and expire from 1997 through 1999.  The
Company also has two stock option plans under which the Board of Directors may
issue options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock at a price not
less than the fair market value at the date of grant.  Options are exercisable
no earlier than six months from the date of grant and generally expire ten years
after the date of grant.  All options granted to date are exercisable in
installments on a cumulative basis at a rate of 25% each year commencing on the
first anniversary of the date of grant.

     Under the Executive Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors may issue
non-qualified stock options to officers and directors to purchase up to
4,250,000 shares of common stock at a price not less than fair market value at
the date of grant.  Options are exercisable no earlier than six months from the
date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of grant.  Each non-
management director is automatically granted an option, upon initial election to
the Board of Directors, to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at a price of
127.63% of the fair market value on the date of grant, increasing 5% on each
anniversary of the grant date commencing on the sixth anniversary.  These
options are exercisable in installments on a cumulative basis at a rate of 20%
each year.  The exercise price for all other options will be no less than the
fair market value on the date of grant.  Certain of these options are
exercisable in increments based on stock price performance benchmarks, and
others are exercisable based upon time vesting requirements.

     The Company intends to adopt the disclosure requirements of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" beginning in 1996.

NOTE 13.  CAPITAL STOCK

     The Company has authorized the issuance of 50 million shares of $.01 par
value preferred stock.  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company has
outstanding 3,449,999 shares of $3.75 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock (Series A preferred stock).  The Series A preferred stock has an annual
dividend of $3.75 per share, a stated value of $50 per share and a liquidation
preference of $50 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  It is
convertible into common stock at a price of $9.06 per common share, subject to
adjustment in certain events.  It is also redeemable, at the option of the
Company, at any time after February 16, 1996, at $52.625 per share and
thereafter at prices declining to $50 per share on or after February 16, 2003.

     Concurrently with the issuance of the Series A preferred stock, the Company
converted a convertible debenture (which had an accreted value of $111.4
million) into common stock with a value of $141 million.  This was treated as a
non-cash item in the 1993 statement of cash flows.  At the time, the Company
incurred a non-recurring non-cash expense of $29.6 million ($28.3 million net of
income tax benefit) representing the excess of the value of the common stock
issued over the accreted value of the debenture at the date of conversion.

     The Company also has outstanding 3,000,000 shares $3.625 Series B
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (Series B preferred stock).
The Series B preferred stock has an annual dividend of $3.625 per share, a
stated value of $50 per share and a liquidation preference of $50 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends. It is convertible into the Company's common
stock at a price of $9.80 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain
events.  The Series B preferred stock is exchangeable, at the Company's option,
at any time after November 15, 1995, into 7.25% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due November 15, 2018, at a rate of $50 of debentures for each share
of Series B preferred stock.  It is also redeemable, at the option of the
Company, at any time after November 15, 1996, at $52.5375 per share and
thereafter at prices declining to $50 per share on or after November 15, 2003.

                       CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)


   The Company has authorized the issuance of 150 million shares of $.01 par
value common stock.  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company has
72,967,236 shares outstanding.  The Company has reserved 19,040,000 and
15,306,000 shares of common stock for conversion of the Series A and Series B
preferred stock,  8,875,000 shares pursuant to various compensation programs,
and 2,000,000 shares for acquisitions.

NOTE 14.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   In April 1991, a lawsuit was brought against the Company alleging breach of
contract for a finder's fee in connection with an August 1990 sale of land in
Fremont, California.  On November 1, 1993, the jury returned a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff and made an award of approximately $440,000 which, together
with pre-judgment interest, totalled approximately $600,000.  Additionally, the
jury awarded approximately $7.7 million in punitive damages for what it found
was the Company's bad faith denial of an alleged contract.  While the Company
was  vigorously pursuing an appeal, it provided $8.3 million as an other expense
in the 1993 consolidated statement of operations.  In December 1995, the Company
reached a settlement with the plaintiff and reversed $7.5 million of the expense
in the 1995 consolidated statement of income.

   The Company has obtained standby letters of credit and surety bonds in favor
of local municipalities or financial institutions to guarantee performance on
real property improvements or financial obligations.  As of December 31, 1995,
$21.3 million was outstanding, including a $12.4 million surety bond related to
the lawsuit described above.

   The Company, as a partner in certain joint ventures, has made certain
financing guarantees (Note 6).

   The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business.  While the  Company cannot predict with certainty the final
outcome of these proceedings, considering the substantial legal defenses
available, management believes that none of these actions, when finally
resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

   Inherent in the operations of the real estate business is the possibility
that environmental pollution conditions may relate to properties owned or
previously owned.  The Company may be required in the future to take action to
correct or reduce the environmental effects of prior disposal or release of
hazardous substances by third parties, the Company, or its corporate
predecessors.  Future environmental costs are difficult to estimate due to such
factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing
and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the determination of
the Company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the
extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)



   At December 31, 1995, management estimates that future costs for remediation
of identified or suspected environmental contamination which will be treated as
an expense will be approximately $13.8 million, and has provided a reserve for
that amount.  It is anticipated that such costs will be incurred over the next
ten years.  Management also estimates that similar costs relating to the
Company's properties to be developed or sold may range from $18 million to $59
million.  These amounts will be capitalized as components of development costs
when incurred, which is anticipated to be over a period of twenty years, or will
be deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold.  These
estimates were developed based on extensive reviews which took place over
several years based upon then prevailing law and identified site conditions.
Because of the breadth of its portfolio, the Company is unable to review
extensively each property on a regular basis.  Such estimates are not precise
and are always subject to the availability of further information about the
prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of regulatory
agencies and the availability of other parties to pay some or all of such costs.

NOTE 15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   In March 1996, the Company acquired The Akins Companies, a residential real
estate company involved in home building, community development and project
management services, primarily in Southern California.  The acquisition price
will be paid in the form of Catellus common stock with a market value of
approximately $9 million, and is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests.

   The Company will form a new entity, Catellus Residential Group, that will
develop the Company's residential land holdings, projects previously started by
Akins, and new development activities on property owned by others.

SUMMARIZED QUARTERLY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

   The Company's earnings and cash flow are determined to a large extent by
property sales.  Sales and net income have fluctuated significantly from quarter
to quarter, as evidenced by the following summary of unaudited quarterly
consolidated results of operations.  Property sales fluctuate from quarter to
quarter, reflecting general market conditions and the Company's intent to sell
property when it can obtain attractive prices.  Cost of sales may also vary
widely because it is determined by the Company's historical cost basis in the
underlying land.

law against expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by

indemnify any indemnitee in connection with any proceeding initiated by such

Delaware law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall not be

                                       9

required to advance such expenses to any person who is a party to an action,
suit or proceeding brought by the corporation and approved by the majority of
the Board which alleges willful misappropriation of corporation assets by such

fiduciary or contractual obligations to the corporation or any other willful or

stockholders.

Mr. Nelson C. Rising
President and Chief Executive Officer
Catellus Development Corporation
201 Mission Street
San Francisco, California  94105

Dear Mr. Rising:

     Reference is made to the Agreement dated as of January 14, 1993 between
Catellus Development Corporation (the "Company") and Bay Area Real Estate
Investment Associates L.P. ("BAREIA"), and Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of
January 14, 1993 (as so amended, the "BAREIA Agreement"), the Stockholders
Agreement dated as of January 29, 1993 by and among BAREIA, Olympia & York SF
Holdings Corporation ("O&Y"), Itel Corporation ("Itel") and the Company (the
"Stockholders Agreement"), and the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of
December 29, 1989 by and among the Company, O&Y, Itel, and BAREIA, and the First
Amendment to such Agreement dated as of January 29, 1993 (as so amended, the
"Registration Rights Agreement").

     This will confirm that BAREIA is being liquidated and dissolved as of
November 14, 1995, and that the California Public Employees' Retirement System
("CalPERS"), as the sole limited partner of BAREIA, will become the sole holder
of the 29,999,605 shares of the Company's Common Stock and the 1,405,702 shares
of the Company's $3.7 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(collectively, the "Shares") which currently are held by BAREIA. This also will
confirm our understanding that since Itel and O&Y each have ceased to own 5% of
the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, those companies no longer
are parties which are bound by the Stockholders Agreement.

     This further will confirm that CalPERS agrees to be bound by the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with Section 13 thereof.

     This will confirm our understanding and agreement that effective as of the
date of this letter the BAREIA Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement will
have been terminated and will be of no further force and effect, and CalPERS
will be a Holder of Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights
Agreement and be entitled to the benefits of such Agreement with respect to the
Shares.

     Please sign and return the enclosed copy of the letter agreement to us if
the foregoing accurately reflects our understanding and agreement.

                                 Very truly yours,

                                 CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES'
                                 RETIREMENT SYSTEM

                   AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                   -----------------------------------------

     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), made and
entered into as of November 29, 1995 (the "Effective Date"), by and between
Nelson C. Rising (the "Executive") and Catellus Development Corporation, a
Delaware corporation having its principal executive offices in San Francisco,
California (the "Company");

                                WITNESSETH THAT:
                                --------------- 

     WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of developing, managing and
marketing commercial, industrial and other real estate; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive has substantial experience and expertise in the
field of real estate development;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement
(the "Employment Agreement") on July 27, 1994 (the "Effective Date") under which
the Company agreed to secure the services of the Executive as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Executive agreed to perform
services for the Company; and

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Employment
Agreement and desire that this Agreement set forth all of the terms and
conditions of the Executive's employment by the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth below,
the Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows:

      1.  Performance of Services. The Executive shall be employed by the
          -----------------------                                        
Company in accordance with the following:

  (a) Position.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby
      --------                                                             
      agrees to employ the Executive as the President and Chief Executive
      Officer of the Company and each of its principal Subsidiaries during the
      Agreement Term (both as defined below), and the Executive hereby agrees to
      accept and remain in such employment during the Agreement Term. During the
      Agreement Term, while the Executive is employed by the Company, the Board
      shall use its best efforts to cause the Executive to continue to be
      elected as a member of the Board.

  (b) Commitment.  At all times during the Agreement Term while the Executive is
      ----------                                                                
      employed by the Company, the Executive shall devote his full time,
      energies and talents to serving as the President and Chief Executive
      Officer of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may
      devote reasonable time to activities

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
      other than those required under this Agreement, including the supervision
      of his personal investments and activities involving professional,
      charitable, educational, religious and similar types of organizations,
      speaking engagements, membership on the boards of directors of other
      organizations, and similar activities, to the extent that such other
      activities do not in the judgment of the Board inhibit the performance of
      the Executive's duties under this Agreement, or conflict with the business
      of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Executive
                                        -----------------
      shall not serve on the board of directors of any business, or hold any
      other position with any business without the consent of the Board. The
      Company has consented to the Executive retaining his ownership interest in
      Maguire/Thomas Partners Master Investments, a California limited
      partnership, which holds interests in various Maguire/Thomas projects, and
      certain other business positions or interests, all as described in two
      separate letters dated July 27, 1994 and identified by reference hereto.
 
  (c) Authority.  The Executive shall have the responsibility and authority for
      ---------                                                                
      the overall conduct of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
      including responsibility for the management and operation of those
      entities, and such additional responsibilities, powers and duties,
      consistent with the foregoing, as the Board, and the respective boards of
      directors of each of the Subsidiaries of which the Executive shall be an
      officer, may from time to time prescribe. In the performance of his
      duties, the Executive shall only be required to report to the Board as a
      whole and not to the Chair thereof and, with respect to his positions as
      an officer of Subsidiaries of the Company,

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
      the separate boards of directors of each such Subsidiary. The Executive
      shall perform his duties faithfully and efficiently, subject to the
      overall policies and directions of the Board and such other respective
      boards of directors. The Company agrees that the duties which may be
      assigned to the Executive shall be the usual and customary duties of the
      offices to which he may from time to time be elected and shall not be
      inconsistent with the provisions of the charter documents of the Company
      or applicable law (both as in effect from time to time). The Executive
      shall not, without his consent, be assigned tasks that would be
      inconsistent with those of the President and Chief Executive Officer of
      the Company. The Executive shall have the corporate authority that shall
      reasonably be required to enable the discharge of duties in any of the
      offices that he may hold. The Executive, as President and Chief Executive
      Officer of the Company, shall be the senior executive, "leader" and
      spokesperson for the Company, and he will use his best efforts to work in
      "partnership" with the Chair of the Board, which position is, under
      current Board policy and unless the Board otherwise determines, to be held
      by a person other than the person serving as the President and Chief
      Executive Officer, and shall not, in the event the current Board policy is
      changed, be held by any full-time employee of the Company other than the
      Executive.

  (d) Annual Performance Review.  The Board shall review the performance by the
      -------------------------                                                
      Executive of his responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer
      of the Company no less frequently than annually and shall communicate the
      Board's assessment of such performance to the Executive by January 31 of
      each year.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
  (e) Relocation.  In connection with his employment hereunder, and subject to
      ----------                                                              
      the following provisions of this paragraph 1(e), the Executive shall not
      be required, without his prior written consent, to relocate the Company
      headquarters or to be based anywhere other than within 50 miles from the
      site of the current headquarters of the Company.

  (f) Disability.  The Executive shall not be required to perform services under
      ----------                                                                
      this Agreement during any period that he is Disabled. The Executive shall
      be considered "Disabled" during any period in which he has a physical or
      mental disability which renders him incapable, after reasonable
      accommodation, of performing his duties under this Agreement. In the event
      of a dispute as to whether the Executive is Disabled, the Company may
      refer the same to a licensed practicing physician of the Company's choice,
      and the Executive agrees to submit to such tests and examinations as such
      physician shall deem appropriate.
  
  (g) Agreement Term.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Agreement Term"
      --------------                                                            
      means the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December
      31, 2000.

  (h) Subsidiary.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Subsidiary" means
      ----------                                                              
      any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity during any
      period in which more than a fifty percent interest in such entity is
      owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (or a successor to the
      Company), except to the extent that the Company is

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
      unable, whether by contractual restriction or otherwise, to exercise
      control over any such entity.

      2.  Compensation.  During the Agreement Term, while the Executive is
          ------------                                                    
employed by the Company, the Company shall compensate the Executive for his
services as follows:

  (a) Salary.  The Executive shall receive, in substantially equal monthly or
      ------                                                                 
      more frequent installments, a base salary of a minimum of $350,000
      ("Salary"), which shall be increased by 5% in 1996 and by 5% more each
      year compounded annually.

  (b) Bonus.  The Executive shall be entitled to receive annual bonuses from the
      -----                                                                     
      Company with an annual maximum bonus opportunity of 200% of the
      Executive's then Salary ("Maximum Bonus Potential"). On or before January
      31 of each year, commencing January 1, 1996, the Board shall establish
      performance objectives for each year for the determination of the
      Executive's bonus awards for such year, which objectives may include both
      individual and corporate objectives and may include both qualitative and
      quantitative standards.

  (c) Stock Option.  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the
      ------------                                                         
      Executive shall receive a stock option award, with a grant date of
      November 29, 1995, to purchase 300,000 shares of stock of the Company in
      accordance with the provisions of the Company's existing Amended and
      Restated Executive Stock Option Plan, and the terms

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
      set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (in addition to the options
      covering 700,000 shares which the Executive now holds which shall be
      modified as provided for in Exhibit B attached hereto).

  (d) Disability.  The Executive shall receive from the Company disability
      ----------                                                          
      income replacement coverage which will provide for replacement of income,
      to the extent available at a commercially reasonable rate of premiums,
      during any period in which the Executive is Disabled if the disability
      arose during the Agreement Term and prior to the Executive's Date of
      Termination. During any period while the Executive is Disabled, and is
      otherwise entitled to receive Salary under this Agreement, any Salary
      payments to the Executive shall be reduced by the amount of any benefits
      paid for the same period of time pursuant to such disability income
      replacement coverage.

  (e) Vacation.  The Executive shall be entitled to four weeks paid vacation per
      --------                                                                  
      year. The Executive shall be entitled to take such vacation at such time
      or times (without regard to the accrual thereof) as he shall choose during
      the first year of the Agreement Term and within each year thereafter, but
      for purposes of calculation of amounts payable pursuant to Section
      4(a)(ii) hereof, such vacation entitlement shall accrue solely in
      accordance with the terms of the Company's vacation policy for executive
      officers generally as in effect from time to time.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  (f) Benefits and Perquisites.  The Executive shall be entitled to receive
      ------------------------                                             
      benefits to such extent as, and on terms no less favorable to the
      Executive than, those benefits provided by the Company from time to time
      to the Company's other senior management employees and consistent with the
      memorandum (the "Benefits Memorandum") attached hereto as Exhibit C. The
      Executive shall also be entitled to receive the perquisites that are set
      forth in the Benefits Memorandum.

  (g) Expenses.  The Executive shall be authorized to incur reasonable expenses
      --------                                                                 
      for entertainment, travel, meals, lodging and similar items in the conduct
      of the Company's business. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for
      all reasonable expenses so incurred from the Effective Date through the
      expiration of the Agreement Term.

      3.  Termination.  The Executive's employment with the Company during the
          -----------                                                         
Agreement Term may be terminated by the Company or the Executive without any
breach of this Agreement only under the circumstances described in the following
paragraphs 3(a) through 3(i):

  (a) Death.  The Executive's employment hereunder will terminate upon his
      -----                                                                 
      death.


  (b) Permanently Disabled.  The Company may terminate the Executive's
      --------------------                                            
      employment with the Company during any period in which the Executive is
      Permanently Disabled.  The

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
      Executive shall be considered "Permanently Disabled" during any period in
      which (i) he has a physical or mental disability which renders him
      incapable, after reasonable accommodation, of performing his duties under
      this Agreement; (ii) such disability is determined by the Board to be of a
      long-term nature; and (iii) the Executive is eligible for income
      replacement benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan during
      such period of disability. In the event of a dispute as to whether the
      Executive is Permanently Disabled, the Company may refer the same to a
      licensed practicing physician of the Company's choice, and the Executive
      agrees to submit to such tests and examinations as such physician shall
      deem appropriate.

  (c) Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder at
      -----                                                                    
      any time for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall
      mean:

      (i)  the willful and continued failure by the Executive substantially to
           perform his material duties with the Company (other than any such
           failure resulting from the Executive's being Disabled), after a
           written demand for substantial performance of such duties is
           delivered to the Executive by the Board, which demand identifies the
           manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not
           substantially performed his duties and the Executive has been given a
           reasonable period of time (but in no event more than 60 days) to
           correct his deficient performance; or
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
      (ii) the engaging by the Executive in egregious misconduct involving
           serious moral turpitude to such an extent that, in the reasonable
           judgment of the Board, such misconduct substantially impairs the
           Executive's ability effectively to perform his duties with the
           Company.
 
      For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the
      Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be
      done, by the Executive without reasonable belief that the Executive's
      action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

  (d) Constructive Discharge.  If the Company materially breaches its
      ----------------------                                         
      obligations to the Executive under this Agreement, and:

      (i)  the Executive provides written notice to the Company of the
           occurrence of such breach, which identifies the manner in which the
           Executive believes that the breach has occurred, and which is
           delivered to the Company within a reasonable period (but in no event
           more than 90 days) after the Executive has actual knowledge of the
           events asserted to give rise to the breach; and

      (ii) the Company fails to correct any such breach within a reasonable
           period (but in no event more than 60 days) after receipt of the
           notice described in paragraph (d)(i);

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
           then, for purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be
           considered to have been dismissed by the Company for reasons other
           than Cause. A material breach of this Agreement by the Company shall
           include, without limitation:

           (I)    assigning duties to the Executive that are inconsistent in any
                  substantial respect with the position, authority, or
                  responsibilities associated with the position of President and
                  Chief Executive Officer of the Company or, after a Change of
                  Control of the Company (as defined in paragraph 10(c) hereof)
                  in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the
                  Executive is not permitted to serve as the chief executive
                  officer and a member of the board of directors of the
                  successor entity to the Company;

           (II)   assigning additional duties to the Executive that
                  substantially impair his ability to function as President and
                  Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

           (III)  the failure by the Company to accord to the Executive the
                  title, authority and responsibilities of President and Chief
                  Executive Officer of the Company;

           (IV)   the failure of the Executive to be elected a member of the
                  Board;

           (V)    a reduction by the Company in the Executive's Salary from that
                  provided for in Section 2(a) of this Agreement or a reduction
                  in the Maximum Bonus Potential

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
                  provided for in Section 2(b) hereof, provided that nothing
                  herein shall limit or affect the Board's authority and
                  discretion to determine the actual bonus award earned by the
                  Executive based upon the Board's evaluation of the Executive's
                  performance during the applicable year;

           (VI)   a requirement for the relocation of the Executive imposed by
                  the Board in violation of this Agreement;

           (VII)  the intentional failure of the Company, without the
                  Executive's consent, to pay to the Executive any portion of
                  his Salary, earned bonus or other current compensation (if
                  any), or to pay to the Executive any portion of any
                  installment of deferred compensation under any deferred
                  compensation program of the Company, within 10 business days
                  of the date such compensation is due or to issue shares of
                  common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of
                  stock options granted to the Executive upon valid exercise
                  thereof;

           (VIII) in the event that there is a successor to the Company, the
                  failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from
                  any such successor to assume and to perform the obligations of
                  the Company under this Agreement; or

           (IX)   the failure of the Company to fulfill any of its other
                  material obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.

                                       12

  (e) Termination by Executive.  The Executive may terminate his employment
      ------------------------                                             
      hereunder at any time by giving the Company prior written Notice of
      Termination (as defined in paragraph 3(h)), which Notice of Termination
      shall be effective not less than 30 days after it is given to the Company,
      provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Executive to
      specify a reason for any such termination. However, to the extent that the
      procedures specified in paragraph 3(d) are required, the procedures of
      this paragraph 3(e) may not be used in lieu of the procedures required
      under paragraph 3(d).

  (f) Mutual Agreement.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the
      ----------------                                                      
      mutual agreement of the parties. Any termination of the Executive's
      employment by mutual agreement of the parties shall be memorialized in an
      agreement reduced to writing and signed by the Executive and a duly
      appointed officer of the Company.

  (g) Termination by Company Without Cause.  The Company may terminate the
      ------------------------------------                                
      Executive's employment hereunder at any time for any reason and without
      Cause, and the Company shall not be required to specify a reason for such
      termination, provided that termination of the Executive's employment by
      the Company shall be deemed to have occurred under this paragraph 3(g)
      only if it is not for reasons described in paragraph 3(a), 3(b), 3(c),
      3(d), 3(e) or 3(f).

                                       13

  (h) Notice of Termination.  Any termination of the Executive's employment by
      ---------------------                                                   
      the Company or the Executive (other than a termination pursuant to
      paragraph 3(a) (relating to termination by death) or paragraph 3(f)
      (relating to termination by mutual agreement)) must be communicated by a
      written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of
      this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a dated notice which (i)
      indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied on
      and (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances, if
      any, claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
      employment under the provision so indicated.

      -------------------                                               
      Termination" means the last day the Executive is employed by the Company;
      provided, that (i) the Executive's employment is terminated in accordance
      with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3, and (ii) in the event
      of termination for Cause as defined in paragraph 3(c)(ii) hereof such Date
      of Termination shall not be less than two business days after the
      Executive has received written notice of the intention to so terminate the
      Executive.
  
      4.  Rights Upon Termination.  The Executive's right to payment and
          -----------------------                                       
benefits under this Agreement upon or for periods after his Date of Termination
shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this
paragraph 4:

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
  (a) Basic Payments to Executive Upon Termination For Any Reason Through the
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Date of Termination.  If the Executive's Date of Termination occurs during
      -------------------                                                       
      the Agreement Term for any reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive:

      (i)   The Executive's Salary for the period through the Date of
            Termination.

      (ii)  An amount in respect of unused vacation days as of the Date of
            Termination, as determined in accordance with Company policy as in
            effect from time to time.

      (iii) Except in the case of termination pursuant to paragraph 3(c)
            (relating to termination of the Executive for Cause) or paragraph
            3(e) (relating to the Executive's resignation), a pro rata bonus
            payment, which shall be an amount equal to the product of:

   (A) the bonus the Executive would have received for the Company's fiscal year
   which includes his Date of Termination (determined as though he remained in
   the employ of the Company through the end of such year and that the
   performance levels required for the award of a target bonus to the Executive
   were met);

   Multiplied By

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
   (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal
   year which includes the Executive's Date of Termination, but excluding the
   days following such Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365
   (or, for the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs, the number of
   days during which the Executive would have been employed by the Company
   during that year if he had remained in the employ until the end of such
   year).

      (iv)   Any other payments or benefits to be provided to the Executive by
             the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plans or arrangements
             adopted by the Company, to the extent such amounts are due from the
             Company.

   Except as may otherwise be expressly provided to the contrary in this
   Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the
   Executive to be treated as employed by the Company for purposes of any
   employee benefit plan or arrangement following the Executive's Date of
   Termination.

  (b) No Payment Obligations to Executive in Certain Circumstances After the 
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------
      Date of Termination.  If the Executive's Date of Termination occurs under
      -------------------                                                      
      circumstances described in paragraph 3(a) (relating to the Executive's
      death), paragraph 3(b) (relating to the Executive's being Permanently
      Disabled), paragraph 3(c) (relating to termination of the Executive for
      Cause), paragraph 3(e) (relating to the Executive's resignation) or
      paragraph 3(f) (relating to termination by mutual agreement), or if the
      Executive's

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
      employment with the Company terminates after the end of the Agreement
      Term, then, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or
      otherwise agreed in writing between the Executive and the Company, the
      Company shall have no obligation to make payments under this Agreement for
      periods after the Executive's Date of Termination.
              -----

  (c) Payments to Executive After Date of Termination in the Event of
      ---------------------------------------------------------------
      Constructive Discharge or Termination Without Cause.  If the Executive's
      ---------------------------------------------------                     
      Date of Termination occurs under circumstances described in paragraph 3(d)
      (relating to Constructive Discharge) or paragraph 3(g) (relating to
      termination by the Company without Cause), then, in addition to the
      amounts payable in accordance with paragraph 4(a), the Executive shall
      receive from the Company for the period continuing through the end of the
      Agreement Term, but not to exceed two years, an amount equal to the
      product obtained by multiplying the average of the Executive's annual
      salary and annual bonus for the prior two years times two, or, if the
      Executive has not served the Company for 24 months, then an amount equal
      to the product obtained by multiplying the average annual salary and
      average annual bonus for such shorter period, times two. The Company's
      obligation to make payments under this paragraph 4(c) shall cease with
      respect to periods after the earlier to occur of the date of the
      Executive's death, or a date, if any, of the breach by the Executive of
      the provisions of paragraph 7 or paragraph 8. Further, in the event of
      termination of Executive under this paragraph 4(c), the stock options held
      by Executive shall become fully vested.

  (d) Payments in Lieu of Benefits Under Severance Agreements.  Except as may be
      -------------------------------------------------------                   
      otherwise specifically provided in an amendment of this paragraph (d)
      adopted in accordance with paragraph 13, payments under this paragraph 4
      shall be in lieu of any benefits that may be otherwise payable to or on
      behalf of the Executive pursuant to the terms of any severance pay
      arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary or any other, similar
      arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary providing benefits upon
      involuntary termination of employment.

      5.  Duties on Termination.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
          ---------------------                                              
Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of delivery of a Notice of
Termination and ending on the Date of Termination, the Executive shall continue
to perform his duties as set forth in this Agreement, and shall also perform
such services for the Company as are necessary and appropriate for a smooth
transition to the Executive's successor, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph 5, the Company may suspend the Executive from
performing his duties under this Agreement following (i) the delivery of a
Notice of Termination by the Executive providing for the resignation by the
Executive of his positions with the Company provided for herein, or (ii)
delivery by the Company of a Notice of Termination providing for the Executive's
termination of employment for any reason, or (iii) notification to the Executive
of the intention to terminate the Executive for Cause as defined in paragraph
3(c)(ii); provided, however, that during the period of suspension in any of the
          --------  -------                                                    
foregoing cases (which shall in each such case end on the Date of Termination),
the

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
Executive shall continue to be treated as employed by the Company for all other
purposes, and his rights to compensation or benefits shall not be reduced by
reason of the suspension.

      6.  Mitigation and Set-Off.  The Executive shall not be required to
          ----------------------                                         
mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking
other employment or otherwise.  The Company shall not be entitled to set off
against the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement any amounts
owed to the Company by the Executive, any amounts earned by the Executive in
other employment after termination of his employment with the Company, or any
amounts which might have been earned by the Executive in other employment had he
sought such other employment.

      7.  Confidential Information.  Except as may be required by the lawful
          ------------------------                                          
order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, or except to the extent
that the Executive has express authorization from the Company, the Executive
agrees, both while he is employed by the Company and thereafter, to keep secret
and confidential all non-public information (including, without limitation,
information regarding litigation and pending litigation) concerning the Company
and the Subsidiaries which was acquired by or disclosed to the Executive during
the course of his employment with the Company, or during the course of his
consultation with the Company following his termination of employment
(regardless of whether consultation is pursuant to paragraph 9), and not to
disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm or
business entity, or to use it in any way.  The Executive agrees that, to the
extent that any court or agency seeks to have him disclose

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
Confidential Information, the Executive shall promptly inform the Company and
shall take such reasonable steps as are available to the Executive to prevent
disclosure of such Confidential Information until the Company has been informed
of such requested disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to respond to
such court or agency; provided, that the Executive shall not be required hereby
                      --------                                                 
to do so if and to the extent that the Executive would thereby incur personal
financial or other risk.  To the extent that the Executive obtains information
on behalf of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that may be subject to
attorney-client privilege as to the Company's or any Subsidiaries' attorneys,
the Executive shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of
such information and to preserve such privilege.  Nothing in the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph 7 shall be construed so as to prevent the Executive
from using, in connection with his employment for himself or an employer other
than the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, knowledge which was acquired by him
during the course of his employment with the Company and the Subsidiaries that
is generally known to persons of his experience in other companies in the same
industry. Nothing in this paragraph 7 or in paragraph 8 shall be construed as
limiting the Executive's duty of loyalty to the Company while he is employed by
the Company, or any other duty he may otherwise have to the Company while he is
employed by the Company or thereafter.

      8.  Non-Disparagement.  The Executive agrees that both while he is
          -----------------                                             
employed by the Company and after his Date of Termination he shall not make any
false, defamatory or disparaging statements about the Company, the Subsidiaries,
or the officers or directors of the Company or the Subsidiaries.  Both while the
Executive is employed by the Company and

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
after his Date of Termination, the Company agrees, on behalf of itself and the
Subsidiaries, that neither the officers nor the directors of the Company or the
Subsidiaries shall make any false, defamatory or disparaging statements about
the Executive.

      9.  Defense of Claims.  The Executive agrees that, for the period
          -----------------                                            
beginning on the Effective Date and continuing after his Date of Termination,
the Executive will cooperate with the Company in defense of any claims that may
be made against the Company, and will cooperate with the Company in the
prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company, to the extent that
such claims may relate to services performed by the Executive for the Company.
The Executive agrees promptly to inform the Company if he becomes aware of any
lawsuits involving such claims that may be filed against the Company.  The
Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for all of the Executive's reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses associated with such cooperation, including travel
expenses. The Executive also agrees promptly to inform the Company if he is
asked to assist in any investigation of the Company (or its actions) that may
relate to services performed by the Executive for the Company, regardless of
whether a lawsuit has then been filed against the Company with respect to such
investigation.

      10.  Lump Sum Payment to Executive in the Event of a Change of Control.
           -----------------------------------------------------------------  
In the event that a Change of Control (as defined in paragraph 10(c) hereof)
occurs during the Agreement Term, while the Executive is employed by the
Company:

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
  (a) If, within twelve months after the occurrence of the Change of Control,
      the Executive's employment by the Company or its successor is terminated
      pursuant to paragraph 3(d) (relating to Constructive Discharge) or
      paragraph 3(g) (relating to termination by the Company without Cause),
      then the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company or such
      successor, in lieu of, and not in addition to, the amounts otherwise
      payable to the Executive pursuant to paragraph 4(c) hereof, a lump sum
      payment in an amount which is equal to three times the "base amount" in
      respect of the Executive as defined in section 280G of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any successor to that
      provision. In addition, the stock options held by Executive at that time
      shall become fully vested in such event.

  (b) If any payments under this Agreement, after taking into account all other
      payments to which the Executive is entitled from the Company, or any
      affiliate thereof, are more likely than not to result in a loss of a
      deduction to the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code or any
      successor provision to that section, such payments shall be reduced to the
      extent required to avoid such loss of deduction.  The Executive shall be
      entitled to select the order in which payments are to be reduced in
      accordance with the preceding sentence.  If requested by the Company, the
      Executive shall provide complete compensation and tax data on a timely
      basis to the Company and to an accounting or law firm designated by the
      Company in order to enable the Company to determine the extent to which
      payments from the Company and its affiliates may result in a loss of a
      deduction.  If the Executive incurs fees or costs in accumulating such

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
      information, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable
      fees and expenses so incurred.  If the Executive and the Company disagree
      as to whether a payment under this Agreement is more likely than not to
      result in the loss of a deduction, the matter shall be resolved by an
      opinion of tax counsel chosen by the Company's independent auditors.  The
      Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel, and shall make
      available such information as may be reasonably requested by such counsel
      to prepare the opinion. If, by reason of the limitations of this paragraph
      10(b), the maximum amount payable to the Executive cannot be determined
      prior to the due date for such payment, the Company shall pay on the due
      date the minimum amount which it in good faith determines to be payable
      and shall pay the remaining amount, with interest at a rate, compounded
      semi-annually, equal to 120% of the applicable Federal rate determined
      under section 1274(d) of the Code, as soon as such remaining amount is
      determined in accordance with this paragraph 10(b).

  (c) A "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred upon
      the happening of any of the following events:

      (1) the acquisition or holding, other than in or as a result of a
          transaction approved by the Continuing Directors (as defined in
          paragraph (b) below) of the Company, by any individual, entity or
          group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
          Exchange Act) (an "Acquiror") of beneficial ownership (within the
          meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange

          (i)   any such acquisition (or holding) by the California Public
                Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS") that holds
                approximately 41% of the issued and outstanding common stock of
                the Company or while CalPERS is the beneficial owner of shares
                having a greater percentage of such combined voting power than
                the shares held by the Acquiror;

          (ii)  any such acquisition (or holding) by the Company or any of its
                Subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of
                the Company or such Subsidiaries; or

          (iii) any such acquisition (or holding) by any corporation with
                respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of,
                respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of
                such corporation and the combined voting power of the then
                outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to
                vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially
                owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of

                proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such
                acquisition, of the then outstanding shares of common stock of
                the Company and of the combined voting power of the then

                (the "Continuing Directors") cease for any reason to constitute
                at least a majority of the Board, provided that any individual
                becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose
                election, or nomination for election by the Company's
                stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
                the persons then comprising the Continuing Directors shall be
                considered a Continuing Director, but excluding, for this
                purpose, any such individual whose initial election as a member
                of the Board is in connection with an actual or threatened
                "election contest" relating to the election of the directors of
                the Company (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation
                14A promulgated under the Exchange Act); or

            (3) approval by the Company's stockholders of (i) a reorganization,
                merger or consolidation of the Company, with respect to which in
                each case all or substantially all of the individuals and
                entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common
                stock and voting securities of the Company immediately prior to
                such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not,

                following such reorganization, merger or consolidation,
                beneficially own, directly and indirectly, more than 50% of,
                respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and
                the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
                securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
                directors, of the corporation or other entity resulting from
                such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or (ii) of a
                complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii) the
                sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
                assets of the Company.

      11.  Remedies.  The Executive acknowledges that the Company would be
           --------                                                       
irreparably injured by a violation of paragraph 7 or 8, and agrees that the
Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it for such breach or
threatened breach, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary
restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining the Executive from
any actual or threatened breach of paragraph 7 or paragraph 8.  If a bond is
required to be posted in order for the Company to secure an injunction or other
equitable remedy, the parties agree that said bond need not be more than a
nominal sum.

      12.  Nonalienation.  The interests of the Executive under this Agreement
           -------------                                                      
are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the
Executive or the Executive's beneficiary.

condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party,
shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other

alternately strike names from such list until only one name remains and such
person shall thereby be selected as the arbitrator.  Except as otherwise

parties hereto agree that the final decisions of the arbitrator so chosen may be
enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction.

of this Agreement shall not cease or otherwise be adversely affected by the
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company.

      24.  Indemnity.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the
           ---------

reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of court approved settlements, actually and
reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with defense of or settlement
of any action, suit or proceeding and in connection with any appeal thereon,

Company that he is knowledgeable and sophisticated as to business matters,
including the subject matter of this Agreement, that he has read this Agreement
and that he understands its terms.  The Executive acknowledges that, prior to
assenting to terms the terms of this Agreement, he has been given a reasonable
time to review it, to consult with counsel of his choice, and to negotiate at
arm's-length with the Company as to its contents.  The Executive and the Company
agree that the language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and that no rule of strict construction
is to be applied against any party hereto.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set his hand, and the
Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf,
all as of the Effective Date.

                                   ---------

1.   Stock Option Award to Executive  - 300,000 shares

300,000                      10 years         $6.00

          The terms and conditions of the stock option award to be granted to
the Executive shall be set forth in a separate agreement with the stock option
having a term of ten years. The agreement shall provide that the option covered
thereby will vest and become exercisable in accordance with two schedules, a
schedule based upon the achievement of certain price levels for the Common Stock
of the Company (the "Pricing Schedule") and a schedule based upon the expiration
of various time periods (the "Time Schedule").  The Pricing Schedule shall be
operative in the following manner in conjunction with the Time Schedule:
commencing November 29, 1996 (a) if the average stock price of the Company's
Common Stock is $8.50 or more for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, then
25% of the option shares shall vest and become exercisable; (b) if such price is
$10.50 or more for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, then 50% of such
shares shall vest and become exercisable; (c) if such price is $12.50 or more
for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, then 75% of such shares shall vest
and become exercisable; and (d) if such price for a period

                                       34

<PAGE>
 
of 30 consecutive trading days is $15.00 or more, then 100% of such shares shall
become exercisable.  In any event, all such shares shall vest on November 29,
2003, which is 8 years from that date that the Board approved this stock option
award.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the Timing Schedule, the option
shares may not vest any earlier than November 29, 1996 and by not more than 25%
during each successive 12 month period from November 29, 1995 through November
29, 1999.  Assuming the Pricing Schedule conditions are fulfilled, then 25% of
the option shares shall vest as of November 29, 1996; a total of 50% of such
shares shall vest as of November 29, 1997; a total of 75% of such shares shall
vest as of November 29, 1998; and a total of 100% of such shares shall vest as
of November 29, 1999; provided, that such options shall become immediately
                      --------                                            
exercisable in full in the event that the Executive is terminated pursuant to
paragraph 3(d) of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement to which this
Exhibit A is attached (relating to "Constructive Discharge", as defined in the
Employment Agreement), or that the Executive is terminated pursuant to paragraph
3(g) (relating to termination by the Company without Cause) (the "Employment
Agreement") or that the Executive is terminated pursuant to the Employment
Agreement at any time within 12 months following a "Change of Control" of the
"Company" (both as defined in the Employment Agreement); (ii) the exercise price
of the option indicated above shall be $6.00 per share.  The option shall
otherwise conform to the requirements of the Company's existing Amended and
Restated Executive Stock Option Plan and the terms of this Employment Agreement.

          The existing stock option award agreements documenting the Executive's
options to purchase 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock (as described
above) shall be modified and restated so as to (a) eliminate the 5% exercise
price escalator, and (b) provide that the option covered thereby will vest and
become exercisable in accordance with two schedules, a schedule based upon the
achievement of certain price levels for the Common Stock of the Company (the
"Pricing Schedule") and a schedule based upon the expiration of various time
periods (the "Time Schedule").  The Pricing Schedule shall be operative in the
following manner in conjunction with the Time Schedule: (a) if the average stock

                        CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
                  AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


     This Amended and Restated Stock Option Agreement (this "Agreement") is
entered into as of March 22, 1996 between Catellus Development Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Catellus"), and

                               Joseph R. Seiger

(the "Optionee") with reference to the following facts:

     A.  The Optionee is an existing director of Catellus who has agreed to
become the Chairman of the Catellus Board of Directors (the "Board") and thereby
to assume substantial additional responsibilities and time commitments for the
benefit of Catellus.

     B.  In consideration of the foregoing and to further the identity of
interests of the Optionee with those of the stockholders of Catellus, the Board
wishes to grant to the Optionee an option to purchase shares of the common stock
of Catellus, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), on the terms set
forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, Catellus and the Optionee agree as follows:

         1.   GRANT OF OPTION.  Catellus hereby grants an option (the "Option")
to the Optionee to purchase, from time to time, an aggregate of

                                    100,000

shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") during the period commencing July
27, 1994 and ending July 27, 2004 (the "Option Period"), on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The exercise price of
the Option shall be $6.975 per share (the "Option Purchase Price").

         2.   EXERCISE OF OPTION.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 10 and
11 of this Agreement, the Option shall become exercisable (a) as to the entire
number of the Option Shares on and after July 27, 2002 or (b) if earlier, in the
following installments on and after January 1, 1997 (the "Vesting Date")
provided the specified conditions are met:

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
              (i) The Option may be exercised as to 25% of the Option Shares on
         and after the Vesting Date provided the average of the Closing Price of
         a share of Common Stock for any 30 consecutive trading days following
         the Date of Grant is at least $8.50;

              (ii) The Option may be exercised as to 50% of the Option Shares on
         and after the Vesting Date provided the average of the Closing Price of
         a share of Common Stock for any 30 consecutive trading days following
         the Date of Grant is at least $10.50;

              (iii) The Option may be exercised as to 75% of the Option Shares
         on and after the Vesting Date provided the average of the Closing Price
         of a share of Common Stock for any 30 consecutive trading days
         following the Date of Grant is at least $12.50; and

              (iv) The Option may be exercised as to the entire number of the
         Option Shares on and after the Vesting Date provided the average of the
         Closing Price of a share of Common Stock for any 30 consecutive trading
         days following the Date of Grant is at least $15.00;

provided, however, that the Option shall not be exercisable following the
- --------  -------                                                        
expiration of the Option Period or the earlier lapse or termination of the
Option as provided in this Agreement.

     For purposes of this Section 2, the term "Closing Price" shall mean, for
any trading day, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on such day (i) on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), if the Common Stock is then listed on such
exchange, (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on the NYSE, on the principal
national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or (iii) if
not listed on any national stock exchange, as reported by NASDAQ. If the Common
Stock is not then listed on any national stock exchange or reported by NASDAQ,
then the Closing Price shall be determined in any reasonable manner approved by
the Committee.

     3.  PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE OF OPTION.

         a.   The Option may be exercised in whole or in part, when vested
as provided in Section 2 above, by delivery of a written notice of such
exercise, which notice shall state the number of Option Shares in respect of
which the Option is being exercised, and shall be delivered to the Secretary of
Catellus or mailed, addressed to the Secretary of Catellus at its offices
located at 201 Mission Street, San Francisco, California 94105.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
         b.   Any such notice of exercise shall be accompanied by payment
in full of the Option Purchase Price for the Option Shares in respect of which
the election is made.  Such payment may be made in cash, Common Stock of
Catellus held by the Optionee for at least six months or such other property as
the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board (the "Committee") shall
determine. If shares of Common Stock are tendered as payment, such shares shall
be valued at the Fair Market Value thereof as of the date of exercise of the
Option. An election to exercise the Option, whether in whole or in part, shall
be irrevocable when made.

         c.   For purposes of this Agreement, the "Fair Market Value" of
shares of the Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing prices, or the average of the closing bid and asked quotations, as
applicable, of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the applicable date on (i) the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") , if shares of
the Common Stock are then listed on the NYSE, or (ii) if shares of the Common
Stock are not then listed on the NYSE, then on the principal stock exchange on
which the Common Stock is then listed, or (iii) if shares of the Common Stock
are not then listed on any stock exchange, then as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ").  If the
Common Stock is not then listed on any stock exchange or reported by NASDAQ,
then the Fair Market Value of shares of the Common Stock shall be determined in
such reasonable manner as shall be approved by the Committee.

     4.  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional shares, or cash in lieu thereof,
shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

     5.  TAXES.  Catellus may withhold any federal, state or local taxes
required by applicable law to be withheld upon any exercise of the Option
through retention of such number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable upon such exercise as shall have a Fair Market Value at least equal to
such amount as shall be required to comply with such withholding requirements.

     6.  ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION.  The Option is not assignable or transferable
by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a "qualified domestic relations order" as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, or rules thereunder, and, subject to the foregoing, may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee, or if the
Optionee is disabled, by his legal representative.

     7.  EXERCISE ON DEATH OF OPTIONEE.  If the Optionee ceases to be a 
director of Catellus by reason of death, and the Option has theretofore become
vested, any unexercised portion of the Option remaining as of the date of his
death may be exercised by the Optionee's personal representative, or by the
person to whom such

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, at any time
within a period of up to one year after such death, but not after the expiration
of the Option Period.

     8.  EXERCISE ON TERMINATION OF SERVICE.  Subject to Section 7 above, in 
the event of termination of the Optionee's service as a director of Catellus
after the Option has become vested, any portion of the Option which has not
theretofore been exercised but is then vested may be exercised by the Optionee
within three months following such termination; provided that, if the Optionee
                                                -------------
ceases to be a director of Catellus by reason of disability or death prior to
July 27, 1995, a fraction of the Option shall vest upon the date of such
termination, which fraction shall be equal to the number of months elapsed from
the date of grant of the Option (July 27, 1994) to the date of such termination,
divided by 12.

     9.  ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN EVENTS.  In the event of a change in the
capitalization of Catellus due to a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or other event, the Option Shares
subject to this Agreement shall be ' appropriately adjusted by the Committee to
reflect such change.

     10. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.  The grant of the Option to the Optionee
set forth herein is subject to the approval of the stockholders of Catellus as
required under the rules of the NYSE or receipt by Catellus of confirmation from
the NYSE that such stockholder approval will not be required. In the event that
neither such approval nor such confirmation is obtained within one year from the
date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of the first annual meeting of
Catellus stockholders held after the date hereof, then the Option shall not
become exercisable to any extent and shall terminate upon the expiration of such
period.

     11. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         a.   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 above, the Option
shall vest, and shall thereupon become exercisable in whole or in part from time
to time at the election of the Optionee, immediately upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control of Catellus.

         b.   For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" of
Catellus shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the
following events:

              (i) the acquisition or holding, other than in or as a result of a
         transaction approved by the Continuing Directors (as defined in
         paragraph (ii) below) of Catellus, by any individual, entity or group
         (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934) (an

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
         "Acquiror") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
         promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of 25% or more
         of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of Common
         Stock and other stock of Catellus entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors, but excluding for this purpose:

                 (A) any such acquisition (or holding) by the California Public
         Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS"), which as of the date hereof
         holds approximately 41% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of
         Catellus, or while CalPERS is the beneficial owner of shares having a
         greater percentage of such combined voting power than the shares held
         by the Acquiror;

                  (B) any such acquisition (or holding) by Catellus or any of
         its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of
         Catellus or such subsidiaries; or

                  (C) any such acquisition (or holding) by any corporation with
         respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of,
         respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
         corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
         voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or
         indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities
         who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Common Stock and
         other voting securities of Catellus immediately prior to such
         acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership,
         immediately prior to such acquisition, of the then outstanding shares
         of Common Stock of Catellus and of the combined voting power of the
         then outstanding voting securities of Catellus entitled to vote
         generally in the election of directors;

              (ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
         (the "Continuing Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at
         least a majority of the Board, provided that any individual becoming a
         director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination
         for election by the stockholders of Catellus, was approved by a vote of
         at least a majority of the persons then comprising the Continuing
         Directors shall be considered a Continuing Director, but excluding, for
         this purpose, any such individual whose initial election as a member of
         the Board is in connection with an actual or threatened "election
         contest" relating to the election of the directors of Catellus (as such
         term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
              (iii) approval by the stockholders of Catellus of (A) a
         reorganization, merger or consolidation of Catellus, with respect to
         which in each case all or substantially all of the individuals and
         entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock
         and other voting securities of Catellus immediately prior to such
         reorganization, merger or consolidation will not, immediately following
         such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own,
         directly and indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then
         outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the
         then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors, of the corporation or other entity resulting
         from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or (B) of a complete
         liquidation or dissolution of Catellus, or (C) the sale or other
         disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Catellus.

     12. VIOLATION OF LAW.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Optionee agrees that Catellus shall not be obligated to deliver
any Option Shares if counsel to Catellus determines that exercise of the Option
or delivery of such Option Shares would then not be in compliance with any law
or regulation of any governmental authority or any agreement between Catellus
and any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed;
provided that, Catellus shall use its best efforts in any such event to take all
- -------------                                                                   
action required to achieve such compliance as promptly as practicable.

     13. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.  The Optionee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Common Stock covered by the Option until he
shall have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock, and,
except for stock dividends as provided in Section 9, no adjustment shall be made
for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property) or distributions or other rights in respect of such shares for which
the record date is prior to the date on which he shall become the holder of
record thereof.

                              A G R E E M E N T:

     NOW, THEREFORE, Executive and the Company hereby agree as follows:


                                   ARTICLE I

                            EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

1.1  Employment.
     ---------- 

          (a) The Company hereby employs Executive as Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company, with a term of service to commence on
July 24, 1995. Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and shall have such duties as may be prescribed by the Chief Executive
Officer, including managerial and administrative duties assigned by the Chief
Executive Officer and shall be part of the senior management group of the
Company.

          (b) During the term of this Agreement, and subject to the provisions
hereof, Executive shall devote his full-time best efforts to his employment.
Executive shall not engage in any other activities which would represent a
material conflict with his duties to the Company. Executive may make and manage
personal business investments of his choice, provided that such activities and
services do not substantially interfere or

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
conflict with the performance of duties hereunder or create any conflict of
interest with such duties.

          (c) Paid vacations of three weeks every 12 months shall be permitted
and such vacation time shall vest immediately; provided, however, that for the
period from July 21, 1995 through June 30, 1996, Executive shall be entitled to
5 weeks of paid vacation.

1.2  Term.
     ---- 

          This Agreement shall commence on July 24, 1995, and shall continue in
effect through June 30, 1998, subject to the termination provisions contained in
Section 1.7 hereof; provided, however, that unless the Company gives notice of
termination to Executive by June 30, 1997, the term of this Agreement shall be
automatically extended for an additional 12 months.

1.3  Base Salary.
     ----------- 

          Executive shall receive a minimum annual base salary (the "Base
Salary") payable in substantially equal installments no less than twice monthly,
with the first payment to occur on or about August 1, 1995 for corporate officer
services commencing on July 24, 1995. The Base Salary shall be reviewed every 12
months by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and, as a result of that
review, shall be subject to possible increases based upon

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
the attainment of operating goals as mutually determined by Executive and the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Any increase to Base Salary which
results from that review will be effective on each January 1st by the amount
which results from that review and such revised base salary shall thereafter
represent the minimum annual base salary. Executive's initial annual Base Salary
under this Agreement shall be $285,000.

1.4  Bonuses.
     ------- 

          (a) Executive acknowledges receipt of a bonus in the amount of
$62,500, which has been paid to Executive in cash with appropriate withholding
amounts deducted therefrom.

          (b) Executive shall participate in the Company's annual bonus program,
which program is in the process of being implemented, with an annual target
bonus equal to 30% of Base Salary and a maximum bonus of 60% of Base Salary with
a potential bonus in a prorated amount for the period ending December 31, 1995.
All bonus payments shall be subject to appropriate withholding payments deducted
therefrom. The standards of performance for bonus payments for Executive for
1995 will be negotiated with Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company on or before August 31, 1995.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
1.5  Stock Option.
     ------------ 

          On the date hereof, Executive will be granted non-qualified stock
options covering an aggregate of 330,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company
in accordance with the Company's existing Amended and Restated Executive Stock
Option Plan and the Option Agreement shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto, which option shall be effective as of the date hereof. Such stock option
shall be granted with the initial per share exercise price set at the average
closing market price for such Common Stock for the five trading days prior to
the date of this Agreement. Such option will have a mandatory withholding
feature whereby the Company will withhold such number of shares at the time of
any exercise of the option which will satisfy the estimated amount of federal
and state taxes applicable to the exercise.

          Executive acknowledges that he has received and reviewed the form of
an engagement letter between the Company and Strategic Compensation Associates
and that the form of that letter is acceptable to Executive. Such letter
requests a study concerning total compensation for senior executives in
corporations which are comparable to the Company as well as a study on base
salary compensation, cash bonus compensation, equity incentive compensation,
including stock options, and the frequency of stock option grants.

1.6  Place of Performance and Relocation Costs.
     ----------------------------------------- 

          In connection with his employment hereunder, Executive shall be based
at the current headquarters of the Company, except for required business travel
for the Company. For up to 120 days or until Executive finds permanent housing
in Northern California, whichever is earlier, Executive shall be entitled to the
use of an apartment in San Francisco on a tax free basis.

          Executive shall attempt to sell his home in Newport Beach, California
for a price equal to or above $670,000 (the "Purchase Price"). If and only if he
cannot enter into a contract of sale of the home at or above the Purchase Price
by October l, 1995, then the Company shall purchase his home for the Purchase
Price. The purchase of Executive's home is designed to enable Executive to
promptly complete his relocation from his current home in Newport Beach to San
Francisco.

          After acquisition, Executive's home will be owned by the Company and
subsequent disposition will be the responsibility of the Company. Executive
agrees that he and his family will cooperate in connection with the appraisal
and acquisition of his home, including permitting prospective buyers to enter
the home with reasonable notice of such visits. Executive may make routine
repairs of up to $2,000 in preparation of his home for sale and such repairs
will be at the expense of the Company.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
          Executive will receive a lump sum payment of $45,000 within 30 days
from the date hereof to cover relocation costs, reimbursement for commuting
costs from Southern California to San Francisco and return trips for a 90-day
period from the date hereof and no more.

1.7  Termination of Employment.
     ------------------------- 

          (a) If at any time during the term of this Agreement, (i) Executive
involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason other than
Termination for Cause, disability (as defined below), death, or normal
retirement under the Company's pension plan or a qualified retirement plan of
the Company or (ii) Executive terminates employment with the Company for Good
Reason (as defined below), then Executive shall be entitled to the benefits
provided in Section 1.8 below.

          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions are set
forth below:

     (i)  Executive shall be "disabled" if Executive is receiving disability
          benefits under a long-term disability plan or disability insurance
          provided by the Company on the date his employment terminates; and

    (ii)  Termination by the Company for "Cause" shall mean termination upon the
          willful and continued misconduct

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
          by Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Company
          (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to
          physical or mental illness) after the issuance of a Notice of
          Termination as set forth in this Section 1.7(b)(ii) is delivered to
          Executive by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which Notice
          specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that
          Executive has not substantially performed his duties. For purposes of
          this Section, no act, or failure to act, on Executive's part shall be
          deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not
          in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive's action or
          omission was in the best interest of the Company.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be terminated
          for Cause pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.7(b) unless and until
          Executive (a) has received notice of a proposed termination for cause
          with a written explanation of the grounds for such proposed
          termination, (b) Executive has had an opportunity to confer with the
          Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and (c) Executive has had
          sixty days after receipt of such notice to cure any alleged 
          non-performance of his duties. If at the end of such sixty-day period
          the non-performance has not been cured to the satisfaction of the
          Chief Executive Officer,

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
          then the Company, upon the determination of the Compensation Committee
          of the Board of Directors of the Company, may terminate this Agreement
          for Cause.

   (iii)  "Good Reason" shall exist if, without Executive's express written
          consent, any of the following occurs:

          (a) a reduction by the Company in Executive's annual base salary as in
     effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to
     time; or

          (b) a demotion from the position or title of Chief Financial Officer
     or an assigning of duties to Executive that are inconsistent in any
     substantial respect with or are a reduction in any substantial respect from
     the position, authority, or responsibilities associated with the position
     of Chief Financial Officer of the Company; or

          (c) a relocation of the Company headquarters or requirement for
     Executive to be based anywhere other than within 50 miles from the site of
     the current headquarters of the Company; or

          (d) the failure of the Company to fulfill its obligations under this
     Agreement.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, "Date of Termination" shall mean the
          effective date specified in the Notice of Termination as of which
          Executive's employment terminates (which shall not be less than 60
          days after the date such Notice of Termination is given).


1.8  Benefits Upon Termination.
     ------------------------- 

          (a) If Executive's employment is terminated for reasons other than for
Cause as described under Section 1.7(b)(ii) (i.e., disability, death or normal
retirement), then the amount of such benefits shall be equal to the sum of:

     (i)  the number of full months remaining in this Agreement multiplied by
          Executive's monthly base salary (determined without regard to amounts
          payable under any bonus program, or other forms of extraordinary
          compensation) as of the Date of Termination;

     (ii) the number of full months remaining in this Agreement multiplied by
          Executive's target annual bonus for the year in which the termination
          occurred divided by 12; and

    (iii) unpaid salary with respect to any vacation days accrued but not taken 
          as of the Date of Termination.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
provided, however, that the amount of such benefits shall be reduced by any 
- --------  -------                                                          
other benefits provided upon termination of employment to which Executive may be
entitled under any severance agreement with the Company.

          Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The
Company shall not be entitled to set off against the amounts payable to
Executive under this Agreement any amounts owed to the Company by Executive, any
amounts earned by Executive in other employment after termination of his
employment with the Company, or any amounts which might have been earned by
Executive in other employment had he sought such other employment.

          The Company shall pay Executive, no later than the fifth day following
the Date of Termination, a lump sum payment, in cash, equal to the amount due
under Section 1.8(a) of this Agreement; provided, however, Executive may elect
any time prior to the Date of Termination to receive the amounts due under
Section 1.8(a) on an installment basis as may be mutually agreed by the Company
and Executive.

          (b) During the remainder of the term of this Agreement, Executive
shall continue to be treated as an employee for purposes of the Company's group
health and dental programs, but not for purposes of life, dependent care
reimbursement, health

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
care reimbursement, business travel accident insurance, or long-or short-term
disability programs, tax-qualified retirement plans, or any other employee
benefit plan or program of the Company, and shall receive benefits substantially
comparable to those in effect on the day before Executive's Date of Termination.

1.9  Benefits.
     -------- 

          Executive shall be entitled to receive employee benefits (including,
but not limited to, pension, medical, insurance and disability benefits) and
perquisites appropriate for executives with comparable duties, including the use
of an automobile. Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all other
reasonable business expenses, including an automobile allowance of $749.92 per
month and $.1504 per mile.

          With respect to medical coverage, Executive shall be entitled to
coverage for his family, for the term of this Agreement unless Executive is
terminated for Cause in which case coverage shall terminate on the Date of
Termination except for any applicable COBRA coverage. If, at any time during the
term of this Agreement, Executive involuntarily ceases to be employed by the
Company for any reason other than Termination for Cause or Executive terminates
employment with the Company for Good Reason, then Executive shall be entitled 
to medical insurance for the full term of this Agreement as provided in 
Section 1.8(b).

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
          Executive shall receive from the Company disability income replacement
coverage which will provide for replacement of 80% of base salary, to the extent
available at a commercially reasonable rate of premium, during any period in
which Executive is disabled if the disability arose during the term of this
Agreement and prior to Executive's Date of Termination. During any period while
Executive is disabled, and is otherwise entitled to receive salary under this
Agreement, any salary payments to Executive shall be reduced by the amount of
any benefits paid for the same period of time pursuant to such disability income
replacement coverage.

          Executive also will be entitled to ample office space and all other
customary supplies and equipment to fulfill the requirements of his corporate
position as well as a full-time secretary.

          In addition to the benefits named above, Executive shall be entitled
to a retirement program under the Company's 401-K Plan.

          The Company's current benefit programs are described on Exhibit B and
such benefits and the benefits described in this Section 1.9 shall not be
materially altered except for across the board modifications applicable to all
Company executives.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
          Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for legal fees of up to
$10,000 for services of legal counsel in reviewing and negotiating this
Agreement.

1.10 Indemnity.
     --------- 

          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Bylaws of
the Company, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case
of any amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to
provide broader indemnification rights than said law or Bylaws permitted the
Company to provide prior to such amendment), the Company shall indemnify
Executive and hold Executive harmless for any acts or decisions made in good
faith while performing services for the Company, and the Company shall use its
best efforts to obtain coverage for Executive under any liability insurance
policy or policies now in force or hereafter obtained during the term of this
Agreement that cover other officers of the Company having comparable or lesser
status and responsibility. To the same extent, the Company will pay and advance
all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of court approved
settlements, actually and necessarily incurred by Executive in connection with
the defense of or settlement of any action, suit or proceeding and in connection
with any appeal thereon, which has been brought against Executive by reason of
Executive's service as an officer or agent of the Company or of a subsidiary of
the Company.

                                   COVENANTS

          2.1  Covenant Against Competition.  Executive agrees that for the
               ----------------------------                                
period ending on the earlier of the expiration of the term of this Agreement or
when employment is terminated hereunder, Executive will not, without the prior
written approval of the Chair of the Board of the Company, directly or
indirectly, as owner, partner, officer or employee, engage in any business which
is substantially competitive with any business then actively conducted by the
Company or by any of its subsidiaries or undertake to consult with or advise any
such competitive business, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, engage in any
activity which is substantially competitive with or in any way adversely and
substantially affecting any activity of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
provided, however, that ownership by Executive of not more than 5 percent of the
outstanding shares of stock of any such business listed on any national stock
exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system, or of not more than 15
percent of the stock of any such business not so listed or quoted, shall not be
deemed a violation of this covenant.

          2.2  Trade Secrets and Other Confidential Information.  In further
               ------------------------------------------------             
consideration of the payments to be made to Executive hereunder, Executive
agrees that:

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
          (a) During the term of his employment under this Agreement and for a
period of 5 years thereafter, he will not divulge to anyone, other than to
persons designated by the Company in writing or as may be required by law, any
trade secrets or other confidential information (including, without limitation
any inventions, formulae, methods or products whether or not patented or
patentable) directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the Company's
business, as conducted from time to time, as to which Executive at any time
during his consultancy period as described in Section 4.11 or his employment
shall become, informed and which is not then generally known to the public or
recognized as standard practice; and

          (b) During the employment period, upon termination of employment under
this Agreement or at any subsequent time upon request, Executive will return
promptly to the Company as its property, all corporate documents and records in
whatever form they may exist, which are then in his custody, possession or
control, including those related to trade secrets or other confidential
information.

3.1  Change of Control Payments.
     -------------------------- 

          In the event that a Change of Control (as defined in paragraph 3.1(c)
hereof) occurs during the term of this Agreement while the Executive is employed
by the Company, Executive shall be entitled to certain payments as follows:

          (a) If, following the execution of an agreement providing for a Change
of Control or within twelve months after the occurrence of the Change of
Control, the Executive's employment by the Company or its successor is
terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 1.7(b)(ii) or by
Executive pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(iii) (relating to Termination for Good
Reason), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company or
such successor, in lieu of, and not in addition to, the amounts otherwise
payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof, a lump sum payment in
an amount which is equal to three times the "base amount" in respect of
Executive as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), or any successor to that provision. In addition, the stock
option described in Section 1.5 hereto shall become fully vested in such event.

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
          (b) If any payments under this Agreement, after taking into account
all other payments to which Executive is entitled from the Company, or any
affiliate thereof, are more likely than not to result in a loss of a deduction
to the Company by reason of Section 280G of the Code or any successor provision
to that section, such payments shall be reduced to the extent required to avoid
such loss of deduction. Executive shall be entitled to select the order in which
payments are to be reduced in accordance with the preceding sentence.

          If requested by the Company, Executive shall provide complete
compensation and tax data on a timely basis to the Company and to an accounting
or law firm designated by the Company in order to enable the Company to
determine the extent to which payments from the Company and its affiliates may
result in a loss of a deduction. If Executive incurs fees or expenses in
accumulating such information, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any
reasonable fees and expenses so incurred.

          If Executive and the Company disagree as to whether a payment under
this Agreement is more likely than not to result in the loss of a deduction, the
matter shall be resolved by an opinion of tax counsel chosen by the Company's
independent auditors. The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel, and shall make available such information as may be reasonably
requested by such counsel to prepare the opinion.

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
          If, by reason of the limitations of this Section 3.1(b), the maximum
amount payable to the Executive cannot be determined prior to the due date for
such payment, the Company shall pay on the due date the minimum amount which it
in good faith determines to be payable and shall pay the remaining amount, with
interest at a rate, compounded semi-annually, equal to 120% of the applicable
Federal rate determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code, as soon as such
remaining amount is determined in accordance with this Section 3.1(b).

          (c) A "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:

          (1) the acquisition or holding, other than in or as a result of a
     transaction approved by the Continuing Directors (as defined in paragraph
     (b) below) of the Company, by any individual, entity or group (within the
     meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (an
     "Acquiror") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
     promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of the combined voting
     power of the then outstanding shares of common stock and other stock of the
     Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, but
     excluding for this purpose:

          Investment Associates L.P., a limited partnership that as of the
          Effective Date holds approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding
          common stock of the Company (together with the limited partner
          thereof, "BAREIA"), or while BAREIA is the beneficial owner of shares
          having a greater percentage of such combined voting power than the
          shares held by he Acquiror;

                (ii) any such acquisition (or holding) by the Company or any of
          its Subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of
          the Company or such Subsidiaries; or

               (iii) any such acquisition (or holding) by any corporation with
          respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of,
          respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
          corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding

          indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and
          entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the common

          voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
          election of directors;


          (2) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the

     subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by
     the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority
     of the persons then comprising the Continuing Directors or who was
     nominated for such election by BAREIA, shall be considered a Continuing
     Director, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose
     initial election as a member of the Board is in connection with an actual
     or threatened "election contest" relating to the election of the directors
     of the Company (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A
     promulgated under the Exchange Act); or

          (3) approval by the Company's stockholders of (i) a reorganization,
     merger or consolidation of the Company, with respect to which in each case
     all or substantially all of

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
     the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of
     the common stock and voting securities of the Company immediately prior to
     such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly and
     indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
     common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
     securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, of the

Catellus to the Executive, on the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth
herein and in the Plan, of a non-qualified stock option (the "Option") to
purchase, from time to time, a total of

                                    330,000

shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares").

         2. Option Purchase Price. Upon exercise, the Executive shall pay to
Catellus $6.325 per Option Share, which price shall increase by 5%, compounded

         3. Option Expiration Date. Unless terminated sooner in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, the right to exercise the Option

Option shall become exercisable on or after the dates set forth below (each, a
"Vesting Date") in the following installments:

               (i)   The Option may be exercised as to 110,000 of the Option
            Shares on and after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant.

               (ii)  The Option may be exercised as to 220,000 of the Option
            Shares on and after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant.

               (iii) The Option may be exercised as to all of the Option
            Shares on and after the third anniversary of the Date of Grant.

            employment for any reason, any portion of the Option which has not
            vested, or that is vested and is not exercised as provided in this
            Section 5, shall be forfeited.

               (ii)  Termination as a Result of Retirement, Disability or Death.
                     ----------------------------------------------------------

            of retirement at or after age 65, disability (as defined in the
            Plan) or death prior to the initial Vesting Date, a portion of the
            Option will vest equal to the number of Option Shares subject to the
            Option multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
            number of months elapsed from the Date of Grant and the denominator
            of which is the number of months from the Date of Grant to the final
            Vesting Date.

             provision herein, in the event of the Executive's termination of
             employment "for cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or
             if the Executive (A) is employed by a competitor of, or engaged in
             any activity in competition with, Catellus without Catellus'
             consent, or (B) divulges without Catellus' consent any secret or
             confidential information belonging to Catellus, any unexercised
             portion of the Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be
             immediately forfeited.

             b. Change of Control. If the Executive is terminated at any time
following the execution of an agreement providing for a Change of Control or
within twelve months following a Change of Control, the Option shall vest
immediately as to the entire number of Option Shares. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Change of Control" of Catellus shall be deemed to have occurred
upon the happening of any of the following events:

                (i) the acquisition or holding, other than in or as a result
             of a transaction approved by the Continuing Directors (as defined
             in paragraph (ii) below) of Catellus, by any individual, entity or
             group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
             Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (an "Acquiror") of beneficial
             ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
             Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of 25% or more of the combined
             voting power of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and
             other stock of Catellus entitled to vote generally in the election
             of directors, but excluding for this purpose:

                    (A) any such acquisition (or holding) by Bay Area Real
             Estate Investment Associates L.P., a limited partnership that as of
             the date hereof holds approximately 42% of the issued and
             outstanding Common Stock of Catellus (together with the limited
             partner thereof, "BAREIA"), or while BAREIA is the beneficial owner
             of shares having a greater percentage of such combined voting power
             than the shares held by the Acquiror;

                    (B) any such acquisition (or holding) by Catellus or any of
             its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
             of Catellus or such subsidiaries; or

             respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
             corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding

             indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and
             entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
             Common Stock and other voting securities of Catellus immediately
             prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as
             their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the then

             voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Catellus
             entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

                  (ii) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
             Board (the "Continuing Directors") cease for any reason to
             constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any
             individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose
             election, or nomination for election by the stockholders of

             nominated for such election by BAREIA shall be considered a
             Continuing Director, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
             individual whose initial election as a member of the Board is in
             connection with an actual or threatened "election contest" relating
             to the election of the directors of Catellus (as such term is used
             in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities
             Exchange Act of 1934); or

                  (iii) approval by the stockholders of Catellus of (A) a

             and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the
             common stock or voting securities of Catellus immediately prior to
             such reorganization, merger or consolidation will not, immediately
             following such reorganization, merger or consolidation,
             beneficially own, directly and indirectly, more than 50% of,
             respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the
             combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
             entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
             corporation or other entity resulting from such reorganization,
             merger or consolidation, or (B) a complete liquidation or

            c. Exercise Period Following Termination.

               (i)  In the event of the Executive's termination of employment by
            reason of death, any unexercised portion of the Option that is or
            becomes vested upon his death in accordance with Section 5a(ii) of
            this Agreement may be exercised by the Executive's personal
            representative or by the person or persons to whom the Option shall
            have been transferred by will or the laws of descent and
            distribution at any time within one year following his death, but in
            no event after the Expiration Date.

               (ii) In the event of the Executive's termination of employment
            for any reason other than death or "for cause" (as defined in the
            Plan), any unexercised portion of the Option that is or becomes
            vested upon such termination in accordance with Section 5a(ii),
            5a(iii) or 5b of this Agreement (unless such unexercised portion is
            forfeited in accordance with Section 5a(iv) of this Agreement) may
            be exercised by the Executive at any time within three months
            following such termination of employment, but in no event after the
            Expiration Date.

        6.  Exercise of Option.

            a. All or a portion of the Option may be exercised in accordance
with procedures (including requisite holding periods) established from time to
time by the Committee. If Common Shares are tendered as payment, such Common
Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the
Option.

            b. No fractional shares, or cash in lieu thereof, shall be issued
under the Option.

            c. As a condition to the grant of the Option, the Executive agrees
that Catellus or its subsidiaries may withhold from the Common Shares to be
issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Common Shares that is
equivalent (valuing such Common Shares at their Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise of the Option) to the amount of any federal, state or local withholding
or other taxes due upon the exercise of the Option. The Committee has approved
without further condition the offset of Common Shares for such purposes (subject
to any applicable legal limitations) and the Executive irrevocably elects this
means of payment of such taxes. If any such taxes should become due after the
date of exercise, the Executive must pay, or arrange (to the satisfaction of
Catellus) to pay, the amount due.
 
            d. No Common Shares shall be issued or transferred upon exercise of
the Option unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or
transfer of such Common Shares have been complied with to the satisfaction of
the Committee.

                                       5

          7. Change in Capitalization. In the event of a change in the
capitalization of Catellus due to a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or similar event, an
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares subject to
the Plan and the terms of the Option may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect
such change. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

          8. No Assignability. The Option is not assignable or transferable by
the Executive, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, or the rules thereunder), and may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Executive only by the Executive or, if the Executive becomes
disabled, by his legal representative.

          9. Other Provisions.

             a. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right
to continue employment with Catellus nor restrict Catellus from termination of
the employment relationship of the Executive at any time in accordance with the
Employment Agreement.

             b. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any rights
as a stockholder upon the Executive or any other person entitled to exercise the
Option with respect to any Option Shares covered by the Option until such time
as the Executive or such other person shall have become the holder of record of
such Option Shares.

             c. The Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, which
is made a part hereof by this reference, and agrees to be bound by the terms
thereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document; provided, however, that
                                                  --------  -------      
Catellus and the Executive acknowledge that, pursuant to its authority under the
Plan, the Committee has established the vesting schedule contained in Section 4b
of this Agreement and approved the addition of Sections 5a(iii) and 5b of this
Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

             d. The Executive acknowledges that Catellus has the right to
terminate, modify or amend the Plan at any time, and that the grant of the
Option or of any other option in one year or at one time does not in any way
obligate Catellus to make a grant of an option at any future time or in any
given amount.

             e. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other provision of this Agreement.

                                       6

          f. The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall inure to the

Executive's representatives and beneficiaries.

in writing and addressed to Catellus at 201 Mission Street, San Francisco,
California 94105, Attention: Secretary and to the Executive at the address given
beneath the Executive's signature, or at such other address as either party may
hereafter designate in writing to the other.

this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.

                         STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT


     This Award Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of January 1, 1996

Catellus to the Executive, on the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth
herein and in the Plan, of a non-qualified stock option (the "Option") to
purchase, from time to time, a total of

shares of Common Stock (the "Option Shares").

     2.  Option Purchase Price.  Upon exercise, the Executive shall pay to

shall expire on January 1, 2006 (the "Expiration Date").

     4.  Vesting Restrictions.  The Option shall be exercisable in accordance
with the following provisions:

         a. No portion of the Option may be exercised for any reason until at
least six months have elapsed following the Date of Grant.

         b. Subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Option
shall become exercisable (i) as to the entire number of the Option Shares on and
after the eighth anniversary of the Date of Grant or (ii) if earlier, in the
amounts indicated on and after the dates set forth below (each, a "Vesting
Date") in accordance with the provisions of Section 4c of this Agreement:

               (A)  The Option may be exercised up to 25% of the Option Shares
     on and after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant provided the
     conditions specified in Section 4c of this Agreement are met.

               (B)  The Option may be exercised up to 50% of the Option Shares
     on and after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant provided the
     conditions specified in Section 4c of this Agreement are met.

               (C)  The Option may be exercised up to 75% of the Option Shares
     on and after the third anniversary of the Date of Grant provided the
     conditions specified in Section 4c of this Agreement are met.

               (D)  The Option may be exercised as to up to the entire number
     of the Option Shares on and after the fourth anniversary of the Date of
     Grant provided the conditions specified in Section 4c of this Agreement
     are met.

          (c) The Option may be exercised as to (i) 25% of the Option Shares 
provided the average of the Closing Price (as defined below) of a Common Share 
(as defined in the Plan) for any 30 consecutive trading days following the Date 
of Grant is at least $8.50; (ii) 50% of the Option Shares provided the average 
Closing Price of a Common Share for any 30 consecutive trading days following 
the Date of Grant is at least $10.50; (iii) 75% of the Option Shares provided 
the average Closing Price of a Common Share for any 30 consecutive trading days

Shares provided the average Closing Price of a Common Share for any 30
consecutive trading days following the Date of Grant is at least $15.00.

          For purposes of this Section 4c, the term "Closing Price" shall mean,
for any trading day, the closing price of a Common Share on such day (i) on the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), if the Common Shares are then listed on such
exchange, (ii) if the Common Shares are not listed on the NYSE, on the principal
national stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed, or (iii) if
not listed on any national stock exchange, as reported by NASDAQ.  If the Common
Shares are not then listed on any national stock exchange or reported by NASDAQ,
then the Closing Price shall be determined in any reasonable manner approved by
the Committee (as defined in the Plan).

         5. Effect of Certain Events on Vesting and Exercise.

            a. Termination of Service.

               (i)   General. In the event the Executive ceases to be a director
                     -------  
     for any reason, any portion of the Option that (A) has not vested as of
     such termination of service, or (B) is vested as of such termination or
     becomes vested as a result of such termination in accordance with Section
     5a(ii), 5a(iii), or 5b and is not exercised within the period specified in

               (ii)  Termination as a Result of Retirement, Disability or Death.
                     ----------------------------------------------------------
     In the event the Executive ceases to be a director prior to the initial
     Vesting Date by reason of (A) retirement at or after age 65, (B) disability
     (as defined in the Plan), or (C) death, a portion of the Option will vest
     equal to the number of Option Shares subject to the Option multiplied by a
     fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months elapsed from the
     Date of Grant and the denominator of which is the number of months from the
     Date of Grant to the final Vesting Date.

               (iii) Termination for Reasons Beyond Executive's Control.  
                     --------------------------------------------------
     In the event the Executive ceases to be a director for any reason other
     than (A) retirement at or after age 65, (B) disability, (C) death, (D)
     voluntary resignation, (E) nonperformance of his duties as Chairman of the
     Board, or (F) "for cause" (as defined in the Plan), the Option shall vest
     immediately as to the entire number of Option Shares.

               (iv)  Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding any other provision
                     ---------------------                                      
     herein, in the event the Executive ceases to be a director "for cause", any
     unexercised portion of the Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be
     immediately forfeited.

            b. Change of Control. If the Executive is terminated at any time
within twelve months following a Change of Control, the Option shall vest
immediately as to the entire number of Option Shares. For purposes of this
Agreement, a "Change of Control" of Catellus shall be deemed to have occurred
upon the happening of any of the following events:

               (i) the acquisition or holding, other than in or as a result of a
     transaction approved by the Continuing Directors (as defined in paragraph
     (ii) below) of Catellus, by any individual, entity or group (within the
     meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934) (an "Acquiror") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
     13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of 25% or more
     of the combined voting power of 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and other stock of Catellus
     entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, but excluding for
     this purpose:

                   (A) any such acquisition (or holding) by the California
          Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS"), which as of the date
          hereof holds approximately 41% of the issued and outstanding Common
          Stock of Catellus, or while CalPERS is the beneficial owner of shares
          having a greater percentage of such combined voting power than the
          shares held by the Acquiror;

                   (B) any such acquisition (or holding) by Catellus or any of
          its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of
          Catellus or such subsidiaries; or

                   (C) any such acquisition (or holding) by any corporation
          with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of,
          respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
          corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
          voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in
          the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or
          indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and
          entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Common
          Stock and other voting securities of Catellus immediately prior to
          such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their
          ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the then
          outstanding shares of Common Stock of Catellus and of the combined
          voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of Catellus
          entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

              (ii)  individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
     (the "Continuing Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
     majority of the Board, provided that any individual becoming a director
     subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by
     the stockholders of Catellus, was approved by a vote of at least a majority
     of the persons then comprising the Continuing Directors, shall be
     considered a Continuing Director, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
     individual whose initial election as a member of the Board is in connection
     with an actual or threatened "election contest" relating to the election of
     the directors of Catellus (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of
     Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or

              (iii) approval by the stockholders of Catellus of (A) a
     reorganization, merger or consolidation of Catellus, with respect to which
     in each case all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
     were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock and other voting
     securities of Catellus 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation will not,
     immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation,
     beneficially own, directly and indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively,
     the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power
     of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
     election of directors of the corporation or other entity resulting from
     such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or (B) a complete liquidation
     or dissolution of Catellus, or (C) the sale or other disposition of all or
     substantially all of the assets of Catellus.

             c. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any
unexercised portion of the Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be
immediately forfeited if the Executive (i) is employed by a competitor of, or
engaged in any activity in competition with, Catellus without Catellus' consent,
(ii) divulges without Catellus' consent any secret or confidential information
belonging to Catellus, or (iii) is engaged in any other activities which would
constitute grounds for termination "for cause".

             d. Exercise Period Following Termination of Service.

                   (i) In the event the Executive ceases to be a director by
     reason of death, any unexercised portion of the Option that is or becomes
     vested upon his death in accordance with Section 5a(ii) of this Agreement
     may be exercised by the Executive's personal representative or by the
     person or persons to whom the Option shall have been transferred by will or
     the laws of descent and distribution at any time within one year following
     his death, but in no event after the Expiration Date.

                   (ii) In the event the Executive ceases to be a director (A)
     for any reason (1) other than death or (2) other than "for cause" or (B) by
     reason of the resignation of the Executive, any unexercised portion of the
     Option that is or becomes vested upon such termination in accordance with
     Section 5a(ii), 5a(iii), or 5b of this Agreement (unless such unexercised
     portion is forfeited in accordance with Section 5a(iv) or 5c of this
     Agreement) may be exercised by the Executive at any time within three
     months following such termination of service, but in no event after the
     Expiration Date.

          6. Exercise of Option.

             a. All or a portion of the Option may be exercised in accordance
with procedures (including requisite holding periods) established from time to
time by the Committee. If shares of Common Stock are tendered as payment, such
shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value (as defined in
the Plan) on the date of exercise of the Option.

                                       5

             b. No fractional shares, or cash in lieu thereof, shall be issued
under the Option.

             c. As a condition to the grant of the Option, the Executive agrees
(i) that Catellus may deduct from any payments of any kind otherwise due to the
Executive from Catellus the aggregate amount of any federal, state or local
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect thereto or, if no
such payments are due or to become due to the Executive, that the Executive
shall pay to Catellus, or make arrangements satisfactory to Catellus regarding
the payment to it of, such taxes and (ii) that Catellus may withhold from the
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of
shares of Common Stock that is equivalent (valuing such shares of Common Stock
at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option) to the amount
of any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes due upon the exercise
of the Option. The Committee has approved without further condition the offset
of shares of Common Stock for such purposes (subject to any applicable legal
limitations) and the Executive irrevocably elects this means of payment of such
taxes. If any such taxes should become due after the date of exercise, the
Executive must pay, or arrange (to the satisfaction of Catellus) to pay, the
amount due.

             d. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or transferred upon
exercise of the Option unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the
issuance or transfer of such Common Stock have been complied with to the
satisfaction of the Committee.

          7. Change in Capitalization. In the event of a change in the
capitalization of Catellus due to a stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination or similar event, an
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares subject to
the Plan and the terms of the Option may be adjusted by the Committee to reflect
such change. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion.

          8. No Assignability. The Option is not assignable or transferable by
the Executive, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, or the rules thereunder), and may be exercised during the
lifetime of the Executive only by the Executive or, if the Executive becomes
disabled, by his legal representative.

<PAGE>
 
          9. Other Provisions.

             a. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right
to continue as a director or the Chairman of the Board of Catellus nor restrict
Catellus from termination of the Executive as a director or the Chairman of the
Board of Catellus at any time.

             b. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any rights
as a stockholder upon the Executive or any other person entitled to exercise the
Option with respect to any Option Shares covered by the Option until such time
as the Executive or such other person shall have become the holder of record of
such Option Shares.

             c. The Executive acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, which
is made a part hereof by this reference, and agrees to be bound by the terms
thereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the
Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document; provided, however, that
Catellus and the Executive acknowledge that, pursuant to its authority under the
Plan, the Committee has established the Option Purchase Price contained in
Section 2 of this Agreement and the vesting schedule contained in Sections 4b
and 4c of this Agreement and approved the addition of Sections 5a(iii) and 5b of
this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

             d. The Executive acknowledges that Catellus has the right to
terminate, modify or amend the Plan at any time, but that no such termination,
modification or amendment may, without the Executive's consent, adversely affect
the rights of the Executive under the Option. The Executive further acknowledges
that the grant of the Option or of any other option in one year or at one time
does not in any way obligate Catellus to make a grant of an option at any future
time or in any given amount.

             e. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other provision of this Agreement.

             f. The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, Catellus, the Executive and the
Executive's representatives and beneficiaries.

             g. Any communication under this Agreement shall be in writing and
addressed to Catellus at 201 Mission Street, San Francisco, California 94105,
Attention: Secretary and to the Executive at the address given beneath the
Executive's signature, or at such other address as either party may hereafter
designate in writing to the other.

          h. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of the Option and
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

RE:       Revised Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Termination of
          Employment

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

          This Revised Memorandum of Understanding ("Revised Memorandum") has
been prepared in accordance with our discussions.  Catellus Development
Corporation ("Company") and you have agreed that your employment with the
Company will terminate as of December 31, 1995, which will then become your
termination date ("Termination Date").  This Revised Memorandum sets forth the
terms of your continued employment, termination and severance benefits.

          Effective upon your execution of this Revised Memorandum, the
following provisions shall govern your employment with the Company:

          .  You will continue to receive your regular compensation through your
             Termination Date, in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
             practice.

          .  Until your Termination Date, you will remain subject to all of the
             Company's personnel policies, including, but not limited to, the
             Company's disciplinary and normal termination policies. It remains
             within the Company's discretion to alter, amend, change or modify,
             within the parameters of the law, any and all conditions of your
             employment, including but not limited to your benefits and wages.

          .  During your employment, you shall continue to receive all benefits
             provided to regular full-time employees.

          .  In addition to the benefits provided for in this Revised
             Memorandum, on your Termination Date, you are entitled to receive
             payment for certain accrued but unused benefits, calculated as of
             October 24, 1995 to be as of your Termination Date:

                    Floating Holiday, Personal Choice
                    Days and Vacation                   $14,163.60

                    Banked Vacation                     $ 7,725.60
                                                       -----------
                                                        $21,889.20
<PAGE>
 
          .    Upon the timely execution, without revocation, of the Agreement
               and Release of Claims ("Agreement"), attached as Exhibit A,
               Catellus shall pay to you as settlement of all claims, the sum of
               Sixty-Six Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($66,950.00),
               less applicable taxes and deductions authorized by law, as a 
               lump-sum severance ("Severance Benefit") payment. The Severance
               Benefit will be treated as "wages" for the purposes of state and
               federal employment taxes and, as such, is subject to withholding
               and other payroll taxes as provided by applicable law. You have
               been given at least 21 days to consider the Agreement. You have
               through January 3, 1996 to consider the Agreement and you have
               the right to revoke the Agreement anytime within seven (7) days
               after your delivery to the Company of an executed copy of the
               Agreement. Under no circumstances may the Agreement be executed
               prior to your Termination Date.

          .    If you sign the Agreement and do not subsequently revoke it, the
               Severance Benefit payable to you will be mailed to you within
               five (5) days after the expiration of the seven- (7) day
               revocation period. If you choose not to sign the Agreement, no
               Severance Benefit will be payable to you.

          .    If you sign the Agreement, without revocation, and you make a
               timely COBRA election, the Company will pay the COBRA premiums
               for you and any Qualified Beneficiary until the earlier of: the
               date you become covered under another employer's group health
               plan or June 30, 1996.

          .    In accordance with the Company's 1995 compensation package, you
               will remain eligible for a Bonus of up to 60% of your annual base
               salary. The full 60% Bonus shall be payable, in accordance with
               the package, only if you successfully complete the Metropolitan
               Transit Authority Project and effectuate an orderly transition to
               your successor of all of your current responsibilities. Your
               Bonus, if any, shall be determined on or before January 2, 1996
               and payable on January 16, 1996.

          .    You shall never disclose any confidential information gained as a
               result of your employment with Catellus and you acknowledge that
               any such information, whether written or oral, obtained by you at
               any time during your employment shall remain confidential, except
               as required by law.

          .    A legal determination that any provision of this Revised
               Memorandum is void, invalid or unenforceable shall have no effect
               on the remaining provisions.

                                      2.
<PAGE>
 
          .  All Company property in your possession, including, but not limited
             to files and records, must be returned to the Company on or before
             your Termination Date.

          .  This Revised Memorandum supersedes all other agreements, written
             and/or verbal.

          .  You agree to keep the terms of this Revised Memorandum completely
             confidential, and you will not hereafter disclose any information
             concerning this Revised Memorandum to anyone, except as is required
             by law and is necessary for legitimate law enforcement or
             compliance purposes.

          In order for this Revised Memorandum to become effective, you must
sign the below Acknowledgment and Agreement and return it to Maureen Sullivan,
General Counsel, by November 17, 1995.

                                   EXHIBIT A


                      AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

          This Agreement and Release of All Claims ("Agreement") is made and
entered into by and between THEODORE L. TANNER (hereinafter sometimes referred
to as the "Employee") and CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, its successors,
subsidiaries, related companies, parent company, and affiliates (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Company").

          The Company believes and Theodore L. Tanner agrees that it is
authorized to terminate the Employee's employment without notice or cause;

          The Company through a Revised Memorandum of Understanding Regarding
Employment dated November 15, 1995 (the "Revised Memorandum") has offered a
certain Severance Benefit;

          The Employee's employment terminates effective December 31, 1995;

          Receipt of this Severance Benefit as set forth in the Revised
Memorandum requires that the Employee execute this Agreement referred to in the
Revised Memorandum as the "Agreement";

          The Employee does not have pending against the Company or any
employee, agent, official, or director of the Company any claim, charge, or
action in or with any federal, state, or local court or administrative agency;
and

          The Employee wishes to receive the Severance Benefit provided under
the Revised Memorandum.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained in this document and the payment of the Severance Benefit under the
Revised Memorandum; which benefits shall be paid by the Company to the Employee
in accordance with this Agreement, and in an effort to avoid unnecessary
lawsuits, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as follows;

          FIRST:  This Agreement and compliance with this Agreement shall not be
          -----                                                                 
construed as an admission by the Company of any liability whatsoever, or as an
admission by the Company of any violation of the rights of Theodore L. Tanner or
any other person, violation of any order, law, statute, duty, or contract
whatsoever against the Employee or any other person.  The Company specifically
disclaims any liability to the Employee or any other person for any alleged
violation of the rights of the Employee or any other person, or for any alleged

                                      1.
<PAGE>
 
violation of any order, law, statute, duty, or contract on the part of the
Company, its employees or agents or related companies or their employees or
agents.

          SECOND:   (a)  Theodore L. Tanner understands and agrees that he has
          ------                                                              
not executed this Agreement without first having considered it for a full
twenty-one (21) days from the receipt of this Agreement and that he did not
execute this Agreement without first being advised in writing to consult an
attorney.  The Agreement will be executed by the Employee on not earlier than
your Termination Date and no later than January 3, 1996.  If after seven (7)
days after the Employee delivers to the Company an executed copy of this
Agreement and if the Employee has not exercised the Employee's right of
revocation as described in paragraph 8.F below, the Company shall cause to be
delivered (by U.S. mail) within five (5) days, a check equal to his Severance
Benefit due as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Revised Memorandum in the
gross amount of Sixty-Six Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars ($66,950.00) minus
employment taxes and any other deductions authorized by law.

          (b)  The Employee agrees that the foregoing payment constitutes the
entire amount of monetary consideration provided to the Employee under this
Agreement and that the Employee will not seek any further compensation for any
other claimed damage, costs, or attorneys' fees in connection with the matters
encompassed in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim with
respect to discrimination, the WARN Act or any other matter.  As to the WARN
Act, the Employee agrees that he is waiving all rights, if any, under said Act
and that the Employee is entering into this Agreement freely, voluntarily and
without any coercion.

          (c)  The Employee agrees that the Employee will not seek nor accept
employment with the Company in the future and that the Company is entitled to
reject without cause any application for employment with the Company made by the
Employee.

          THIRD:  The Employee represents that the Employee has not filed any
          -----                                                              
complaints, claims, or actions against the Company, its officers, agents,
directors, supervisors, employees, or representatives with any state, federal,
or local agency or court and that the Employee will not do so at any time
hereafter (either on his account or as a member of a class) and that if any
agency or court assumes jurisdiction of any complaint, claim, or action
(including, without limitation, any class action) against the Company or its
affiliated companies or any of their officers, agents, directors, supervisors,
employees, or representatives on behalf of the Employee, the Employee will
direct that agency or court to withdraw from or dismiss with prejudice the
matter as to any claim made by him or on his behalf.

          FOURTH:  If requested by the Company, and upon reasonable notice, the
          ------                                                               
Employee will act or appear as a witness, deponent or in any other reasonable
capacity to assist the Company or any affiliate in any civil or criminal action
not arising from this Agreement.

          FIFTH:  The Employee agrees that all rights under section 1542 of the
          -----                                                                
Civil Code of the State of California are waived by the Employee.  Section 1542
provides as follows:

                                      2.
<PAGE>
 
          A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
          not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
          release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
          settlement with the debtor.

          SIXTH:  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1542 of the Civil
          -----                                                              
Code of the State of California, or any other similar statute under the law of
the state of employment or residence, the Employee hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally releases and forever discharges  the Company and each and all of
its officers, agents, directors, supervisors, employees, representatives, and
their successors and assigns and all persons acting by, through, under, or in
concert with any of them from any and all charges, complaints, claims, and
liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected (hereinafter referred to as "claim" or "claims") which the Employee
at any time heretofore had or claimed to have or which the Employee may have or
claim to have regarding events that have occurred as of the date of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all claims related or in any
manner incidental to the Employee's employment with the Company or the
termination therefrom or notice with respect to termination therefrom under the
WARN Act (29 U.S.C. (S) 2101, et seq.) or otherwise.  It is expressly understood
                              -------                                           
by Theodore L. Tanner that among the various rights and claims being waived in
this Agreement are those arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
of 1967 (29 U.S.C. (S) 621, et seq.).
                            -------  

          SEVENTH:  The parties understand the word "claims" to include all
          -------                                                          
actions, claims, and grievances, whether actual or potential, known or unknown,
and specifically but not exclusively all claims arising out of the Employee's
employment with the Company and the Employee's termination.  All such claims
(including related attorneys' fees and costs) are forever barred by this
Agreement regardless of whether those claims are based on any alleged breach of
a duty arising in a statute, contract, constitutional provision, or tort; any
alleged unlawful act, including, without limitation, discrimination or
harassment of any kind (including, without limitation:  age, race, sex, national
origin, marital status, religion, sexual preference, veteran's preference,
disability); notice under the WARN Act; any other claim or cause of action; and
regardless of the forum in which it might be brought.

          EIGHTH:  The Employee understands and agrees that he:

breach of a duty arising in a statute, contract, constitutional provision, or 
tort; any alleged unlawful act, including, without limitation, discrimination 
or harassment of any kind (including, without limitation:  age, race, sex, 
national origin, marital status, religion, sexual preference, veteran's

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Catellus Development Corporation

     We have reviewed the estimate of aggregate current value of the land and 
joint venture portfolio of Catellus Development Corporation (the Company) as of 
December 31, 1995. The land and joint venture interests valued at December 31, 
1995 include approximately 855,170 acres of land and 8 joint ventures. These 
interests were valued subject to tenants' lease, but before debt.

     At December 31, 1994, we reviewed the estimate of aggregate current value 
of the total real estate holding of the Company. The property interests valued 
at December 31, 1994 included approximately 243 income producing buildings; 54 
land lease positions; approximately 893,000 acres of undeveloped land; and 9
joint venture interests. These property interests were also valued subject to 
tenants' leases, but before debt.

     In order to comply with the Company's change in current value reporting, we
have also reviewed an estimate of aggregate current value provided by the 
Company of the land and joint venture portfolio only as of December 31, 1994; 
which reflects the same assets valued at December 31, 1995.

     The aggregate current value of the land and joint venture interests, 
estimated by the Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, was $1,038,684,000 
and $1,036,498,000, respectively. These totals represent the Company's estimate 
of the aggregate current value of the interests described above and assume that 
the individual assets are marketable and would be disposed of in an orderly 
manner, allowing a sufficient time period for exposure of each interest to 
potential purchasers. The current valuation of the portfolio has applied neither
a premium nor a discount with regard to a bulk sale of the entire portfolio.

     Based upon our review, we concur with the Company's estimates of the 
aggregate current value of the portfolio. By this, we mean it is our opinion 
that the current value estimates by the Company are within ten percent (10%) of 
the aggregate value which we would estimate in a full and complete market value 
appraisal of the same interests. A variation of less than ten percent (10%)
between appraisers implies substantial agreement as to the most probable current
value of such property interests.

     The data used in our review were supplied to us in summary form by the 
Company. We have had complete and unrestricted access to all underlying 
documents. We have relied upon the Company's interpretation and summaries of 
leases, operating agreements, estimate of environmental remediation costs, etc. 
During 1994 and 1995, we physically inspected Company properties with combined 
individual current value estimates representing approximately 83% of the 
aggregate current value estimate.

     We certify that neither Landauer Associates, Inc. nor the undersigned have 
any present or prospective interest in the Company's properties, and we have no 
personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved. To the best of 
our knowledge and belief, the facts upon which the analysis and conclusion were 
based are materially true and correct. No one other than the undersigned, 
assisted by members of our staff, performed the analysis and reached the 
conclusions resulting from the analyses, opinions, or conclusions in, or the use
of, this review.

     This review has been prepared in conformity with the Code of Ethics and 
Standards of Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute. As of the date of
this letter, James C. Kafes has completed the requirement of the continuing 
education program of the Appraisal Institute.

Respectfully submitted,

Landauer Associates, Inc.
