                                   Part I

Item 1.  Business

         Catellus Development Corporation ("the Company") is a diversified
real estate operating company with a large portfolio of rental properties and
developable land. The operations consist of three principal business activities:
rental properties, development, and fee services. The Company has 20.9 million
square feet of rental properties; engages in a broad range of development
activities including commercial, residential, and major mixed-use projects; and
has one of the largest portfolios of developable land in the western United
States. Management believes its developable land is capable of supporting up
to an estimated: 26.3 million square feet of industrial space; 11.6 million
square feet of R&D, biotech and office space; 8.8 million square feet of
Central Business District (CBD) office space; 2.0 million square feet of
retail/entertainment space; and 18,000 residential units. Approximately 78% of
the total commercial development potential and 60% of the residential
lots/units are entitled. Approximately 76% of the rental properties and 66% of
the total commercial development potential by square footage is located in
seven sub-markets in California: Silicon Valley, San Francisco, San Francisco
East Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, and San Diego.
Approximately 98% of the residential units are located in California with
approximately 67% in Northern California and 31% in Southern California.
Management believes that the Company's diversification among real estate
business activities, product types, and capabilities, and between rental
properties and developable land assets differentiates it from other public real
estate companies. Moreover, we are a traditional corporation rather than a real
estate investment trust ("REIT"); thus, we can reinvest our earnings without any
minimum dividend requirements, have greater flexibility to pursue new
opportunities without the need to raise additional equity capital as frequently
as a REIT, and may engage in a much broader range of business activities.

         The Company was originally formed to conduct the non-railroad real
estate activities of the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation and was spun off to
stockholders in 1990. Our railroad heritage has given us a diverse base of
developable properties located near transportation corridors in major urban
areas. Over time, these properties have proven suitable for a variety of
product types (industrial, retail, office, and residential), with the larger
land sites most suitable for large-scale mixed-use projects.

         Starting in the third quarter of 1994, the Company began assembling a
new, entrepreneurial and experienced management team focused on developing a
new strategic plan for the Company. We have built a well-rounded team of real
estate professionals with a wide-ranging set of core competencies in
development, including entitlement experience, land-use planning, design,
construction, leasing, real estate finance, and asset management. We believe
that our diverse capabilities and ability to reinvest cash flows provide us
with a competitive advantage in identifying and acquiring additional
development opportunities.

         The new strategic plan implemented in 1995 was designed to: (1)
improve the Company's financial flexibility; (2) optimize the value of the
portfolio and increase existing revenue streams; and (3) capitalize on core
competencies by expanding activities outside of the existing asset base. In
implementing this strategy, we:

*    Improved operating results, by increasing EBDDT (earnings before
     depreciation and deferred taxes) from $14.7 million in 1994 to $18.3
     million in 1995, $25.9 million in 1996, $62.8 million in 1997, and $103.4
     million in 1998.

*    Sold $259 million of non-strategic assets from January 1, 1995 through
     December 31, 1998, using the proceeds to pay down a portion of existing
     debt and fund new development.

*    Increased development activity with commercial construction starts of 0.4
     million square feet in 1994, 0.9 million square feet in 1995, 3.3 million
     square feet in 1996, 3.9 million square feet in 1997, and 4.9 million
     square feet in 1998.

*    Acquired in 1996 The Akins Companies (now Catellus Residential Group,
     "CRG"), an established residential developer located in Southern
     California. Pre-tax earnings have increased from $2.2 million in 1996 to 
     $6.7 million in 1997 and $21.7 million in 1998.

*    Increased new property acquisitions, either directly or through joint
     ventures, from $1.2 million in 1994, to $9.3 million in 1995, $28.5
     million in 1996, $90.8 million in 1997, and $117.4 million in 1998.

*    Completed in 1997 a series of redemption calls for all outstanding
     preferred shares, eliminating approximately $24 million in annual
     preferred stock dividend payments. A total of $25.8 million of preferred
     stock was redeemed and $296.7 million was converted into common equity.

*    Obtained, in 1998, $526.5 million of new debt at a combined effective
     interest rate of 6.66%, and paid off $263.3 million of existing mortgages
     which had interest rates between 8.65% and 9.5%.

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

Operations

     The Company's operations consist of three principal business activities:
rental properties, development (including commercial, mixed-use, and
residential), and fee services. The Company's residential development activities
are conducted through Catellus Residential Group, a subsidiary. The Company has
formed two new subsidiaries: Catellus Commercial Group, LLC, which is
responsible for rental properties, commercial developments, and fee services;
and Catellus Mixed Use Group, LLC, which is responsible for mixed-use
development. In addition, the Company owns approximately 782,000 acres of desert
land in California. The Company believes that the combination of rental property
and development activities allows it to benefit from the more stable cash flow
of its rental properties and, at the same time, to pursue higher-yielding, yet
more volatile, development activities. The Company believes that it mitigates
development risk by increasing the geographic diversity of development
activities and substantial pre-leasing or pre-sales of its properties under
construction.

         Development Land Inventory

         The existing developable land portfolio, once entitled and approved,
can support an estimated 48.7 million square feet of new development
(approximately 37.8 million square feet of which is entitled and approved) and
an estimated 18,000 residential units. In 1999, the Company expects to increase
its commercial and residential activity further and to expand office, R&D and
urban entertainment development in connection with its major mixed-use projects.

(1)  Includes revisions to estimates of potential development or building size,
     or transfers of property between commercial development and other
     categories of property.

(2)  The square feet at Fremont represent the estimated industrial development
     at the Company's 840-acre mixed-use project, Pacific Commons in Fremont.
     The remainder of the developable acreage at Pacific Commons will be
     research and development facilities, flex-tech, office, and retail.

(3)  Includes 4.1 million square feet for which entitlements are in progress
     (2,362,000 square feet in Rancho Cucamonga, 1,269,000 square feet in
     Ontario, and 438,000 square feet in Fremont). The remainder is entitled.

     Because entitlement depends on discretionary government decisions as
well as the results of a variety of predevelopment studies undertaken at various
points in the planning of a project, the potential square feet of entitlements
may not be received, or if received, may not permit timely development in
light of market conditions.

     Residential Development

     In March 1996, the Company acquired The Akins Companies, a residential
real estate company consisting of a diversified group of entities involved in
home-building, community development, and project management activities. That
company is now called Catellus Residential Group ("CRG"). CRG has three
operating divisions:

*    Community Development, which identifies and develops large-scale
     residential communities in prime housing markets;

*    Merchant Housing, which designs, builds, and markets a variety of for-sale
     products, from entry-level to estate homes; and,

*    Public and Private Ventures, which develops and markets affordable rental
     and for-sale housing, primarily within high-density urban areas, as well as
     institutional housing such as faculty and student housing for universities.
     Additionally, the group is pursuing federal government contracts to provide
     military housing.

     During 1998, the Company invested approximately $54.9 million in the
acquisition of residential property directly or through joint ventures. These
acquisitions will support up to 4,518 homes, and included the following
acquisitions:

*    a two-thirds interest in a 3,500-acre, 4,000-lot masterplanned community
     (Serrano) in El Dorado Hills, California.

*    a 20-acre, 99-lot site (Brittany Hills) in Martinez, California.

*    a 38-acre, 119-lot site (The Citrus) in La Quinta, California.

*    a 28-acre, 110-lot site (Reimal) in Gilroy, California.

     Entitlements and approvals for these lots have been received, and
construction or development began in 1998.

     Mixed-Use Development

     The Company's land portfolio includes four major mixed-use development
sites, which include development for residential, office, retail and
entertainment purposes. The Company is currently in negotiation for the
development of two additional sites.


     Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA. The Company owns 166.9 acres of property in
San Francisco adjacent to downtown, which is part of an approximately 300-acre
mixed-use development project known as Mission Bay. The balance of the project
is primarily owned by the City and the Port of San Francisco. The current
proposed development for Mission Bay includes up to:

     In October 1998, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously
approved redevelopment plans and related entitlements for development of both
the approximately 65-acre Mission Bay North and the 238-acre Mission Bay South.
In November 1998, the Mayor of San Francisco and the Executive Director of the
Redevelopment Agency executed various agreements implementing the Mission Bay
San Francisco approvals. Under those agreements, approximately sixty percent of
the incremental property taxes generated by the project will be available to
finance public infrastructure improvements, provided various conditions are met.
There can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied.

     A subdivision map for a major phase ("Major Phase") of the project,
describing the Company's initial development plan for approximately 250 dwelling
units and 80,000 square feet of commercial space in Mission Bay North was filed
in early February 1999. Other actions now being pursued in implementing the
Mission Bay Project include implementation of land transfer agreements among the
Company, the City of San Francisco, the Port of San Francisco, and the
California State Lands Commission; approval by various parties and regulatory
agencies of risk management plans, for environmental issues, and, as to certain
water-side phases of the project, approvals by the Army Corps of Engineers and
the Bay Conservation and Development Commission. Initial development of the
first Major Phase is targeted for the fourth quarter of 1999 or the first
quarter of 2000. Because this process requires participation of a number of
parties and agencies, schedules are subject to change, and there can be no
assurance that development of the first Major Phase will be possible or will
occur by the first quarter of 2000.

     Mission Bay South will be developed around the new 2.65 million square-
foot biotech/research expansion campus for the University of California at San
Francisco ("UCSF"), which will be implemented by developers (which may include
the Company) selected by UCSF, in accordance with agreements among the 
Company, The Regents of the University of California ("The Regents"), and the 
City of San Francisco to locate the UCSF expansion campus on a portion of 
Mission Bay South (29.3 acres of which would be donated by the Company and 
13.3 acres of which would be contributed by the City of San Francisco). The 
obligations of The Regents, the City, and the Company under the agreements to 
transfer land for the UCSF expansion campus are subject to a number of 
conditions. The failure to meet these conditions could delay or prevent the 
Company's development of this project.

     The Mission Bay development will provide new residential units (both
condominiums and rentals), office space, and a major retail center for the
City of San Francisco. In a report generated by the Sedway Group, a real
estate and urban economic consultant group, the average vacancy rate for
quality rental apartments in San Francisco as of the end of 1998, was 1.9%. As
for the San Francisco central business district office market, CB Richard Ellis
reports that vacancy rates are 3.2% for the total market with Class A buildings
approaching 2.5%.

     Currently, the 166.9-acre portion of the project owned by the Company
contains approximately 1.1 million square feet of rental buildings and
approximately twenty land leases. The buildings, as of December 31, 1998, were
90.7% occupied. These operating assets are interim uses of the property and
are not expected to be part of any final project. Rental revenue from these
leases at Mission Bay was $6.4 million during 1998, resulting in property
operating income of $4.5 million.

     Pacific Commons, Fremont, CA. Pacific Commons, which is one of the
largest planned business parks in Silicon Valley, consists of 840 acres, of
which approximately 350 are planned for development, adjacent to I-880 sixteen
miles north of San Jose. Demand for industrial, warehouse, flex-tech, R&D, and
campus office space in the Silicon Valley area has resulted in a vacancy rate
for all product types of 5.8% as of January 1, 1999, according to Colliers
International, an international real estate brokerage firm.

     In late 1996, the Company received the necessary entitlements from the
City of Fremont for 8.5 million square feet of development, including 8.25
million square feet of R&D, light industrial, warehouse/distribution, and
corporate campus space, as well as 250,000 square feet of retail space. In
1997, the Company completed the 376,000-square-foot Office Depot distribution
facility. In 1997, the Company received habitat mitigation approvals necessary
to proceed with approximately 1.2 million square feet of development on a 78-
acre portion of the project, which is the site of three buildings and can
support approximately 574,000 square feet of additional development. In 1998,
the Company completed 238,000 square feet of speculative R&D and light
industrial space and started construction on 60,000 square feet of pre-leased
R&D space. Permits are in place for an additional 240,000 square feet of light
industrial space which is planned for 1999 construction.

     The Company, with the City of Fremont as co-applicant, is currently
working with various federal and state agencies to address the impact of the
rest of the proposed Pacific Commons development on wetlands and special
status species. Based on the results of the predevelopment species and wetland
surveys, the Company and the City of Fremont filed, during the third quarter
of 1998, all remaining documentation to apply for a permit to undertake the
proposed development activities, including a detailed mitigation design
proposal for the project. As part of the permitting, an agreement with the
California Department of Fish and Game has been concluded. The Army Corps of
Engineers, as the lead permitting agency, has also concluded its public notice
and public hearing process and is preparing a response to the project permit
application. Discussions with federal and state agencies concerning the
mitigation measures necessary for the site are continuing, and the amount of
additional area that will ultimately be available for development will be
identified as these discussions proceed in coming months. It is possible that
the necessary government approvals may not be obtained for the development of
the remainder of the park, or that the timing of approvals, if obtained, may
not meet market needs.

     Union Station, Los Angeles, CA. We currently own approximately 43 acres
surrounding and including the historic Los Angeles Union Station. Located in
downtown Los Angeles, Union Station is a transport hub, with Amtrak rail
service, commuter rail lines serving the surrounding five-county region
(Metrolink), and Los Angeles' growing subway and surface light rail systems.

     In 1996, the City of Los Angeles awarded us an entitlement package
permitting seven million square feet of office development with the
flexibility to substitute other uses such as office, hotel, sports and
entertainment facilities, and housing. As part of this development, in 1996,
the Company sold a 4.2-acre portion to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water
District and entered into a design-build contract to build its new
headquarters facility. The sale generated proceeds of $13.2 million, a gain of
$5.0 million and a fee commission to build the facility. The Company completed
construction of the 500,000-square-foot, 12-story headquarters facility in
1998, with occupancy to occur in 1999.

         Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, CA. The Company owns approximately 15 acres
near the waterfront in downtown San Diego, California, including Santa Fe
Depot. The site is served daily by Amtrak, a commuter rail line (Coaster), and
San Diego's expanding trolley system. The site is currently entitled for a
mixture of office, hotel, retail, and housing development. Management is re-
evaluating the approved specific plan in light of current and projected market
conditions, and is cooperating with the U.S. Navy, the Port Commission of San
Diego, and San Diego City and County agencies on a master plan for the entire
North Embarcadero portion of the waterfront.

         Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Alameda Annex and Alameda Naval Air
Station, East Housing, Alameda, CA. In February 1998, the Company was selected
by the City Council of Alameda as the Master Developer for the now closed
145-acre U.S. Navy Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Alameda Annex (FISC) in
Alameda, California. In July 1998, The City of Alameda added the adjacent
70-acre portion of the former Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda) known as
East Housing. The Company is negotiating the acquisition and development of the
two sites through an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement which expires December 31,
1999, but can be extended by the City of Alameda to June 30, 2000, if
circumstances warrant.

         The site is located off of Highway 880 on an island in San Francisco
Bay adjacent to downtown Oakland. The combined 215-acre FISC/East Housing
development project represents the first phase of redevelopment of the 1,734
acres of dry land at the closed NAS Alameda and FISC. The entire area has been
designated as a redevelopment area. A Community Re-use Plan for conversion of
the base over the next 20 to 30 years was approved by the City Council in
January 1996.

         The current Company proposal is generally consistent with the Community
Re-use Plan and includes residential and business park uses for the FISC/East
Housing site. The residential development proposes approximately 500 single
family homes. The City of Alameda Housing Authority plans to build 39
multi-family units on 2.5 acres. Fifteen percent of the 539 residential units
will be affordable housing units in accordance with California Redevelopment
Law. The business park development proposal includes up to 1.3 million square
feet of office and research and development space. Additional uses include an
elementary school, public parks, and waterfront open spaces.

         The FISC site is being transferred under special legislation to the
City of Alameda by the Navy for one dollar. The NAS Alameda transfer is subject
to the successful negotiation of an Economic Development Conveyance between the
City and the Navy. Environmental remediation on the site is expected to be
handled by the Navy. Transfer of the remediated portions of the land to the City
of Alameda is expected by the first quarter of 2000 subject to certification of
a basewide environmental impact statement by the Navy and a basewide
environmental impact report by the City. During the exclusive negotiating
period, the Company and the Alameda Community Improvement Commission will
attempt to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA"). To be in
effect, the DDA requires the certification of a project environmental impact
report. These documents and other approvals from the City and other agencies
will be required before development can commence. It is possible that these
negotiations may not culminate in an agreement with the City of Alameda, that
the conditions for the transfer of the property by the Navy may not be
satisfied, or that the conditions for other necessary approvals may not be
satisfied.

Development and Management Fee Services

         The diverse capabilities of its management team provide the Company
with an opportunity to export skills to third parties. Management believes that
its development and management fee service business allows it to facilitate
development of its own assets through sales to end-users (design-build
contracts), as well as provide services to landowners, which can result in
future development opportunities.

         The Company has generated Development and Management fees from the
following sources:

*   Management and disposition services provided by a wholly-owned subsidiary,
    Catellus Management Corporation, to clients for their non-core real estate
    assets

*   Design-build services provided to the purchasers of commercial land

*   Construction management services provided to the purchasers of land and the
    subsequent build-out of industrial buildings and a high-rise office
    building

*   Development management of our residential joint venture projects and
    independent, third party projects

*   Property management of industrial buildings owned by an investor for
    buildings recently completed and sold by the Company

         Non-Strategic Land Portfolio

         Resources Portfolio

         The Company owns approximately 782,000 acres of land in the Southern
California desert regions of Los Angeles, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, and
Imperial counties. The ownership of these desert properties is the result of
historical land grants to the railroad predecessors of the Company. Because of
its location, lack of contiguity among parcels, and other factors, this land is
not currently suitable for traditional development activities. The Company
therefore undertook to explore the potential for agricultural, mineral, water,
telecommunication, energy, and waste management uses for this property. During
1997, the Company completed its assessment of the portfolio. This evaluation
included an analysis of the portfolio's water, mineral, land, sales,
agricultural, and development potential. The Company has concluded from this
assessment that the land, although valuable, is non-strategic.


         In February 1999, the Company signed an agreement with a non-profit
conservation group to sell and donate up to 437,000 acres of desert holdings and
20,000 acres of severed mineral rights for a total cash consideration of up to
$54.6 million. This sale will generate a significant non-strategic gain when
completed; however, the sale and the potential gain are contingent upon the
completion of due diligence by the appropriate parties and funding by both the
conservation group and the federal government. The timing of funding is not
presently determinable. In addition, the Company plans to exchange other
portions of its desert land for land of equal value managed by the U.S. Bureau
of Land Management in order to consolidate the Company's desert land holdings.
The Company will continue to pursue additional sale opportunities involving
public and private buyers, as well as other arrangements to maximize the value
of this land. These exchanges and arrangements are complicated and therefore may
take a significant amount of time to complete.


         Other Land Holdings

         In addition to the Resources portfolio, the Company has other
properties which are considered non-strategic and are for sale. The number of
properties in the portfolio has declined substantially since 1995 as a result of
sales activity. Because of a diminishing portfolio, future sales are expected to
be substantially lower than the levels of the past three years.

RVL, Inc.

         In 1997, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, RVL, Inc. 
("RVL"), to make investments in companies formed for the purpose of acquiring 
properties requiring environmental remediated, performing the necessary
remediation, and reselling the remediation properties. RVL expects to make
these investments only after investigation designed to characterize the
environmental problems and quantify the costs of remediation, and after
obtaining insurance, if appropriate, for overruns in the remediation budget.
Between formation and December 31, 1998, the Company contributed $13.6 million
in cash and property with a book value of approximately $1.0 million to RVL.

         In September 1997, Hercules, LLC, a subsidiary of a limited liability
company in which RVL owns an interest, acquired the Pacific Refinery at
Hercules, California. The Company has entered into an agreement to provide
entitlement services to Hercules, LLC, in return for an option to buy the
property once defined remediation work is completed. Among the factors that
could impact the success of this project are (1) the ability of the managing
member of the limited liability company to manage the business successfully; (2)
the accurate characterization of environmental problems; and (3) the
availability of insurance adequate to cover remediation budget overruns.

Environmental Matters

         Many of the Company's properties are in urban and industrial areas
and may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial
companies that may have discharged hazardous materials. The Company incurs on-
going environmental remediation costs, and legal costs relating to clean-up,
defense of litigation, and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs
incurred in connection with operating properties and with properties
previously sold are expensed. As of December 31, 1998, management has provided
a reserve of $10.8 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 few years (see Note 16 of the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for further discussions).

         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, 1998, the Company's estimate of its potential liability for
identified environmental costs relating to properties to be developed or sold
ranged from $11.4 million to $30.4 million. These costs generally will be
capitalized as they are incurred over the course of the estimated development
period of approximately 20 years. Environmental costs capitalized during 1998
totaled $3.6 million.

         Although the Company or outside consultants have evaluated the
environmental liabilities associated with most of the properties currently
owned by the Company, any evaluation necessarily is based upon then-prevailing
law, identified site conditions, and the use of sampling methodologies. Also,
the Company does not generally have access to properties sold in the past
which could create environmental liabilities. The Company monitors its
exposure to environmental costs on a regular basis. 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 flows.

Competition

         The real estate industry is generally fragmented and characterized by
significant competition. Numerous developers, owners of industrial, office and
retail properties and managers compete with the Company in seeking properties
for acquisition, development and management opportunities, tenants, and
purchasers for homes and for non-strategic assets. There are competitors in
each area in which the Company operates which have greater capital resources
than the Company. There can be no assurance that the existence of such
competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operations and cash flow.

Employees, Contractors, and Consultants

         At December 31, 1998, the Company had 430 employees, including 56
employees of Catellus Management Corporation and 155 employees of Catellus
Residential Group. We engage third parties to manage multi-tenant properties
and properties in locations which are not in close proximity to our regional
or field offices. In addition, we engage outside consultants such as
architects and design firms in connection with our pre-development activities.
We also employ third-party contractors on development projects for
infrastructure and building construction and retain consultants to assist us
in a variety of areas at the project level and at the corporate level.

Item 2.  Properties

         Our real estate projects are generally described in Item 1 above, which
descriptions are incorporated in this Item by reference. Our principal executive
office is located in San Francisco, California, and we have regional or field
offices in eleven other locations in the United States. We believe that our
property and equipment are generally well maintained, in good condition, and
adequate for our present needs.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named
defendants in many lawsuits arising from normal business activities, are named
parties in certain governmental proceedings (including environmental actions)
and are the subject of various environmental remediation orders of local
governmental agencies arising in the ordinary course of business. While the
outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against us 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 our business, financial condition or liquidity.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during
the quarter ended December 31, 1998.

</TABLE> 

(1)  The Company took charges of $102.4 million in 1995 and $24.1 million in
     1994 to adjust the carrying value of certain properties. The 1995 charge
     included $84.8 million resulting from the Company's decision to terminate
     the 1991 Development Agreement for its Mission Bay Project in San
     Francisco.
(2)  Net income in 1998 reflects extraordinary expense of $25.2 million, net of
     income tax benefit, relating to yield maintenance payments and a write-off
     of unamortized loan issuance costs associated with certain refinancings in
     1998.
(3)  The Company uses a supplemental performance measure called Earnings Before
     Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT), along with net income (loss), to
     report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results
     or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
     accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of
     cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an
     alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company
     believes that EBDDT provides relevant information about its operations and
     is useful, along with net income (loss), for an understanding of its
     operating results.

     EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income (loss).
     Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from
     EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges. In addition, gains on the sale of
     non-strategic assets, adjustments to the carrying value of property,
     premium on the redemption of preferred stock, restructuring costs, and
     extraordinary items, including their current tax effect, represent unusual
     and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT calculation. See
     "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
     Operations' Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes."
(4)  Represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
     adjustments to the carrying value of property, capitalized interest in cost
     of sales, extraordinary items, preferred stock dividends, and premium on 
     the redemption of preferred stock.
(5)  Prior to 1996, square feet owned excluded approximately 1.1 million square
     feet of existing buildings, primarily at Mission Bay.
(6)  Represents total interest incurred, less non-cash interest incurred (See
     Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements), principal
     amortization, and preferred stock dividends.
(7)  Represents the ratio of total debt plus the face value of preferred stock
     to equity market capitalization (based on the number of common shares
     outstanding at the end of the period indicated and the closing stock price
     for each respective period) plus total debt and preferred stock.
(8)  Represents expenditures for commercial and residential development for
     projects to be developed and sold or held for rental. The 1998 amount
     includes $40.1 million seller-financed portion of certain acquisitions,
     $34.2 million invested in residential joint ventures, and $6.3 million of
     first generation lease commissions. The 1997 amount includes $16.2 million
     invested in residential joint ventures.
(9)  Represents the ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges.
(10) Total properties, net reflects the historical value of the Properties at
     acquisition plus subsequent capital expenditures. When the Company was
     formed to conduct the non-railroad real estate activities of Santa Fe
     Pacific Corporation ("Santa Fe") through spin-off to its stockholders in
     1990 (the "Spin Off"), the historical cost of land and income-producing
     properties previously owned by Santa Fe was not increased from historical
     cost. Management believes that a significant portion of the Company's real
     estate value resides in land and rental properties owned by Santa Fe prior
     to the Spin Off. Therefore, management believes that the reported value of
     Properties is not a representative measure of the liquidation value or
     financing capacity of the Company.
(11) Represents the number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the
     closing stock price at the end of the period indicated plus preferred stock
     and total debt.

</TABLE> 

/(1)/ This category represents interim income-producing uses of properties
intended for mixed-use development.

          The increase in revenue from industrial buildings is primarily
attributable to the net addition of eleven new buildings (eight newly
constructed, four purchased and one sold), totaling approximately 2.7 million
square feet that were added to the portfolio in 1998, and a full year of
operations from ten buildings totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet
that were added to the portfolio in 1997. Approximately $11.4 million of the
increase was attributable to base rents and tenant pass-through for the 1998 and
1997 new properties, and an increase of $2.5 million in revenues was
attributable to base rents and higher tenant pass-through charges from
properties which were owned and operated for all of 1998 and 1997 ("Same
Space"), offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in revenues attributable to
properties sold during 1998 and 1997.

<PAGE>
 
          Rental revenue for the Company's office portfolio increased by $2.1
million primarily because of higher rental rates and average occupancy.
Operating costs for office buildings increased by $0.6 million, primarily as a
result of higher repairs and maintenance.

          The $0.8 million increase in rental revenue from the land development
portfolio resulted from higher occupancies, percentage rent and expense
recoveries during the year. The increase in operating costs for land development
properties was primarily because of higher property taxes, maintenance and
operating expenses.

          The $5.8 million increase in revenues from land leases was primarily
attributable to the 1998 acquisitions of land, land leases and other leases. The
majority of the increase attributable to these acquisitions is not of a long-
term nature, as the Company intends to sell a large portion of these assets to
qualified buyers (see Other Sales in Other Property Activities and Fee Services
below).

          In total, property operating costs were higher because of property
taxes associated with the new buildings and higher operating and maintenance
costs attributable to Same Space.
        
          Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures net, increased by $1.9
million primarily because of higher occupancies and room rates in hotel joint
ventures and higher occupancy and lower expenses for an office building joint
venture.

          The 1998 results from commercial sales include the closing of 1.3
million square feet of building space and 176.0 acres of land capable of
supporting 3.2 million square feet of commercial development, as compared to the
closing of 0.6 million square feet of building space and 34.7 acres of land
capable of supporting 0.7 million square feet of commercial development in 1997.
In addition, residential sales include the closing of 331 homes and 855 lots in
1998 as compared to 221 homes and 176 lots in 1997.

          The 1998 results from other sales represent the sales of land and
related land leases associated with the acquisitions in the land lease portfolio
during 1998, as noted above (see Cash flows from investing activities section
for further discussions on acquisitions). The Company anticipates continued
gains from these types of sales in 1999.

          The Company expects there will be significant variability in income
generated from its other property activities (see Variability in Results section
below).

          Development and management fee income (in millions): 
          1998: $7.4; 1997: $6.5; 1996: $3.4

          Development and management fee income, net, increased by $0.9 million
primarily because of a one-time entitlement fee received for services provided
to a joint venture owned by the Company. Over the previous two years, a major
source of fee income was from a contract to manage and sell the non-railroad
real estate assets of a major railroad company. As anticipated, the inventory of
managed assets is now depleted and it is expected that future management fees
will decrease.

          Equity in earnings of development joint ventures, net, increased by
$4.5 million primarily because of the commencement of lot sales at a major
residential joint venture project in San Clemente, California.

          The $0.9 million increase in land holding costs, net, is primarily
because land holding costs in 1997 were offset by interim ground lease income,
some of which were terminated in late 1997.

Other Items on the Statement of Operations
- ------------------------------------------

          Interest expense decreased approximately $2.6 million in 1998;
however, total interest incurred increased $11.9 million. Increased interest
expense attributable to additions to the portfolio was offset by the increase in
capitalized interest related to higher development activity and lower interest
rates resulting from a major refinancing (see Cash balances, available
borrowings and capital resources section for further discussion). During 1998,
the average square feet of commercial development under construction was 4.4
million as compared to 3.0 million in 1997; additionally, the Company started
construction on 334 residential units in 1998 as compared to 106 units in 1997
from its owned and consolidated joint venture projects.

</TABLE> 

          Sales in 1998 include two major transactions which closed in the
fourth quarter totaling $61.2 million.

          In 1995, the Company began an accelerated program of selling non-
strategic assets, with the proceeds intended to pay down a portion of existing
debt and fund new development. From 1995 through 1998, the Company sold $259
million of non-strategic assets. During 1998, 1997, and 1996, the Company
recorded a write-down of $9.0 million, $8.6 million, and $9.9 million,
respectively, to cost of sales related to non-strategic assets. The most
significant remaining non-strategic asset of the Company is its approximately
782,000-acre desert and agricultural portfolio. In February of 1999, the Company
signed an agreement with a non-profit conservation group to sell and donate up
to 437,000 acres of desert holdings and 20,000 acres of severed mineral rights
to the conservation group or the federal government for a total cash
consideration of up to $54.6 million. This sale will generate a significant gain
when completed; however, the sale and its potential gain are contingent upon the
completion of due diligence by the appropriate parties and funding by both the
conservation group and the federal government. The timing of funding is not
presently determinable. In addition, the Company plans to exchange up to 65,000
acres of its land for land of equal value managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management in order to consolidate the Company's desert land holdings.
Additional non-strategic sales are expected to be substantially lower than the
levels of the past three years.

          Litigation and environmental costs, net, changed by $2.6 million as
the Company received environmental recoveries of $2.6 million in 1997. There
were no such recoveries in 1998.

          Other, net, changed by $2.5 million in 1998 primarily because of the
$1.0 million in costs associated with the filing of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with a Registration
Rights Agreement between the Company and the California Public Employees
Retirement System in 1997, and $0.9 million due to higher interest income in
1998.

Extraordinary Expense
- ---------------------

          During 1998, the Company closed a major refinancing of its existing
debt. (See Cash balances, available borrowings and capital resources section for
further discussion.) The refinancing resulted in recognition of a $25.2 million
extraordinary charge, net of tax benefit of $16.8 million, related to yield
maintenance payments and a write-off of unamortized loan issuance costs.

</TABLE> 

/(1)/ This category represents interim income-producing uses of properties
intended for mixed-use development.

          The increase in revenue from industrial buildings is primarily
attributable to ten newly constructed buildings totaling approximately 2.1
million square feet that were added to the portfolio in 1997 and a full year of
operations from eight buildings totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet
that were completed and added to the portfolio in 1996. Approximately $8.2
million of the increase was attributable to base rents for the new buildings
completed in 1997 and 1996, approximately $1.6 million was attributable to
higher tenant pass-through charges and other income associated with this new
construction and approximately $1.5 million was a result of increases in rental
rates and tenant pass-through charges under existing leases. Operating costs for
the industrial portfolio increased by $0.5 million primarily because of property
taxes and other operating expenses related to the new construction.

          Rental revenue for the Company's office portfolio increased by $1.3
million primarily because of higher rental rates and occupancy. Operating costs
for office buildings increased by $0.1 million, primarily as a result of higher
utility costs and property taxes.

          The $0.4 million decrease in property operating costs for the retail
buildings was primarily due to a reduction in property taxes.

          The $0.3 million increase in rental revenue from the land development
portfolio resulted from higher occupancies during the year and expense
recoveries. The decrease in operating costs for land development properties was
primarily because of lower property taxes as a result of refunds and sales of
properties.

          The increase in revenue from land leases was primarily because of
increased rent from new tenant leases and higher percentage rents. The decreased
expenses from land leases were primarily attributable to a reduction in property
taxes as a result of the sale of a land lease in mid-1996.

          In total, property operating costs were lower because of lower
property operating overhead costs and lower insurance premiums, partially offset
by higher property taxes.

          Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, net, increased by $1.4
million primarily because of higher occupancies and room rates in a hotel 
joint venture and higher occupancy and lower interest expense for an office 
building joint venture.

from the sale of a 4.2-acre site to the Metropolitan Water District at Los
Angeles Union Station. The 1997 commercial sales include a $2.2 million gain
from the sale of a 279,000-square-foot industrial building in La Mirada,
California. Residential sales in 1997 include a full year of activity from the
Company's residential group which was acquired in March 1996.

          Development and management fee income, net, increased by $3.0 million
primarily because of an increase in management fees from management contracts
signed in 1996 and higher development fees from a construction project at Los
Angeles Union Station that began in June 1996.

Other Items on the Statement of Operations
- ------------------------------------------

          Total interest incurred was $1.3 million higher in 1997 compared to
1996 primarily because of an increase in borrowing. However, during 1997, the
Company capitalized $6.7 million of interest compared to $2.9 million in 1996
because of increased development activities. As a result, interest expense
decreased $2.5 million.

          General and administrative expense increased by $2.9 million in 1997
primarily because of the increase in the Company's overall activities.

          In 1995, the Company began an accelerated program of selling non-
strategic assets, with the proceeds intended to pay down a portion of existing
debt and fund new development. In connection with this program, the Company
completed sales totaling $31.1 million resulting in gains of $5.0 million in
1997, compared to completed sales of $85.7 million and gains of $24.4 million in
1996.

          In prior years the Company accrued estimates of its environmental
liability (see Note 11 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).
During 1997 and 1996, the Company received recoveries in excess of settlements
paid. These settlements and recoveries resulted in increases to net income of
$2.6 million in 1997 and $1.1 million in 1996.

          Other, net, decreased by $1.1 million in 1997 primarily because of the
$1.0 million in costs associated with the filing of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with a Registration
Rights Agreement between the Company and the California Public Employees
Retirement System.

Preferred Stock Dividends
- -------------------------
          Preferred stock dividends declined by $1.4 million in 1998 compared to
1997 and $20.8 million in 1997 compared to 1996 as a result of preferred stock
calls. With the completion of the preferred stock calls in June 1997, the
Company has no remaining outstanding preferred stock. As a result of these
calls, during 1996, a total of 453,326 shares of $3.75 Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A preferred stock") were converted into
2,501,783 common shares and 508,113 shares of Series A preferred stock were
redeemed at a cost of approximately $26.7 million. In 1997, a total of 2,480,671
shares of Series A preferred stock and all of the $3.625 Series B Cumulative
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock were converted into 29,001,469 shares
of common stock, with 7,889 shares of Series A preferred stock redeemed at a
cost of approximately $440,000.

Variability in Results
- ----------------------

          Although the Company has a large portfolio of income-producing
properties that provides relatively constant operating results, the Company's
earnings from period to period will be affected by the nature and timing of
acquisitions and sales of property and sales of non-strategic assets. Many of
the Company's projects require a lengthy process to complete the development
cycle before they are sold. Additionally, sales of non-strategic assets are
difficult to predict and are generally subject to lengthy negotiations and
contingencies that need to be resolved prior to closing. These factors tend to
"bunch" income in particular periods rather than producing a more even
pattern throughout the year. In addition, gross margins may vary significantly
as the mix of property varies. The cost basis of the properties sold varies
because (i) a number of properties have been owned for many decades; (ii) some
properties were acquired within the last ten to fifteen years; (iii) properties
are owned in various geographical locations; and, (iv) development projects have
varying infrastructure costs and build-out periods.

Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes ("EBDDT")

          The Company uses a supplemental performance measure, EBDDT, along with
net income, to report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating
results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company believes that EBDDT
provides relevant information about its operations and is useful, along with net
income, for an understanding of its operating results.

          EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income.
Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from EBDDT as
they represent non-cash charges. In addition, gains on the sale of non-strategic
assets and extraordinary items, including their current tax effect, represent
unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT calculation.
Net income is reconciled to EBDDT as follows:

          The $40.6 million increase in EBDDT in 1998 compared to 1997 was

          The $36.9 million increase in EBDDT in 1997 compared to 1996 was
primarily because of a reduction in preferred stock dividends and improved
results from income-producing assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows from operating activities


          Cash provided by operating activities reflected in the statement of 
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $120.7 million and
$84.2 million, respectively. The change is primarily attributable to sales of 
development and other properties of $ 205.3 million and $122.2 million for the 
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Sales of non-strategic 
assets were $80.0 million and $31.1 million for the years ended December 31, 
1998 and 1997, respectively. These increases are offset by an increase in 
capital expenditures which are included in the schedule of capital expenditures 
in the following discussion of Cash flows from investing activities. Cash 
generated from income-producing properties increased principally because of the 
addition of new buildings.

          The $26.9 million decrease in cash from operating activities from 1996
to 1997 is primarily because of $52.4 million increase in 1997 expenditures for
development of property for sale and residential acquisitions, a decrease in
cash generated from sales of non-strategic assets, and an increase in notes and
accounts receivable related to development and sales activity offset by improved
earnings from income-producing properties.

Cash flows from investing activities

          Net cash used in investing activities reflected in the statement of
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $275.3
million, $156.5 million and $64.4 million, respectively. The increase between
1998 and 1997 is primarily because of a $61.7 million increase in capital
expenditures and $22.0 million increase in property acquisitions. Additionally,
the increase is also due to a $49.3 million increase in short-term investments
and restricted cash; included in the amount is $8.8 million of proceeds from
property sales that is being held in separate accounts at a trust company in
order to preserve the Company's options of reinvesting the proceeds on a tax-
deferred basis. The increase between 1997 and 1996 is primarily because of a
$47.9 million increase in capital expenditures, a $17.9 million increase in
commercial property acquisitions and an $18.0 million increase in joint venture
contributions.

          Property Acquisitions--The Company invested approximately $117.4
million in 1998 and $90.8 million in 1997 in the acquisition of new property
directly or through joint ventures.

 .         Residential Acquisitions-- In 1998, the Company invested approximately
          $54.9 million in the acquisition of residential development property
          directly or through joint ventures. These acquisitions will support up
          to 4,518 homes and included the following significant acquisitions:
          (1) a two-thirds interest in a 3,500-acre, 4,000-lot masterplanned
          community (Serrano) in El Dorado Hills, California, (2) a 20-acre, 99-
          lot site (Brittany Hills) in Martinez, California, and (3) a 38-acre,
          119-lot site (The Citrus) in La Quinta, California. Entitlements and
          approvals for these lots have been received, and construction or
          development of these sites has commenced in 1998.

 .         Commercial Acquisitions-- In 1998, the Company invested approximately
          $52.1 million in the acquisition of commercial development and income-
          producing property. These acquisitions added approximately 6.4 million
          square feet of potential industrial development which included a 280-
          acre entitled land site in Portland, Oregon, a 69.9-acre land site in
          Woodridge, Illinois, a 56.3-acre land site in Stockton, California,
          and 0.7 million square feet of occupied income-producing property.
          Also included in the acquisitions are land leases which will be held
          in the Company's portfolio.

 .         Other property acquisitions-- In 1998, the Company invested a total of
          $50.5 million ($40.1 million of which was seller-financed) acquiring
          land and other leases. The Company intends to sell these assets.

          Predevelopment--relates to amounts incurred in obtaining entitlements
for the Company's major mixed-use projects, primarily the Mission Bay project in
San Francisco, California, and the Pacific Commons project in Fremont,
California.

          Infrastructure and other--primarily represents infrastructure costs
incurred in connection with the Company's major mixed-use and development
projects. The increase in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily relates to the
Woodridge, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; and Portland, Oregon projects.

          Capitalized interest and property taxes--represents interest and
property taxes capitalized to the Company's development projects. The increase
in 1998 compared to 1997, as well as the increase in 1997 from 1996, is because
of the significant increase in construction activity, as noted above.

Cash flows from financing activities

          Net cash provided by financing activities reflected in the statement
of cash flows increased by $124.2 million in 1998 compared to 1997. This
increase is primarily because of a $181.5 million increase in net borrowings
used to finance development projects offset by a $36.1 million redemption
premium on early retirement of debt and $26.1 million in financing costs.

          Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $116.9 million
in 1997 compared to 1996. The increase is primarily because of a $76.6 million
increase in net borrowings used to finance development projects, a $17.1 million
decrease in preferred stock dividends paid and a $26.3 million decrease in
preferred stock redemptions.

Capital commitments

          As of December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding standby letters
of credit and surety bonds in the amount of $104.5 million in favor of local
municipalities or financial institutions to guarantee performance on real
property improvements or financial obligations.

          As of December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $56.6 million
in total commitments for capital expenditures. These commitments are primarily
to fund the construction of industrial development projects, predevelopment
costs and re-leasing costs.

                                       32

Cash balances, available borrowings and capital resources

          As of December 31, 1998, the Company had $53.0 million in cash and
cash equivalents. In addition, the Company had available $22.4 million under its
secured revolving credit facility and $4.1 million under its residential
construction facilities.

          The Company's short- and long-term liquidity and capital resources
requirements will essentially be provided from three sources: (1) ongoing
operating income from rental properties, (2) proceeds from development, other
and non-strategic asset sales, and (3) additional debt. As noted above, a
secured revolving line of credit and residential construction loan facilities
are available to the Company for meeting liquidity requirements. The ability of
the Company to meet its mid- and long-term capital requirements is dependent
upon the ability to obtain additional financing for new construction,
acquisitions and currently unencumbered properties. There is no assurance that
this financing can be obtained at this time.

          In October 1998, the Company modified and extended the maturity of its
$265 million secured revolving credit line for two years to November 1, 2000.
Borrowing capacity at December 31, 1998, was $215.9 million. Additional capacity
up to $265 million is available, provided that additional lender participation
is obtained.

          During 1998, the Company also substantially completed a major debt
refinancing, which accomplished the following:

          .    Obtained a new mortgage loan in the amount of $373.0 million with
               an effective rate of 6.6%.

          .    Obtained a new mortgage loan totaling $153.5 million with an
               effective interest rate of 6.82%.

          .    Obtained, for its subsidiary, an unsecured line of credit of
               $60.0 million at a variable interest rate of LIBOR + 1.5%.

          .    Paid off existing mortgages totaling $263.3 million which had
               interest rates between 8.65% to 9.5%.

          Debt covenants-Certain loan agreements contain restrictive financial
covenants, the most restrictive of which require the Company's debt coverage
ratio to be at least 1.30:1, require stockholders' equity to be no less than
$409 million, and require that the Company maintain certain other specified
financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at
December 31, 1998.

          Income taxes. At December 31, 1998, the Company's deferred tax
liability consisted of deferred tax assets totaling $112.4 million and deferred
tax liabilities of $250.9 million. Deferred tax assets included $6.0 million
relating to net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of $17.1 million. The
Company has NOLs of $10.1 million, $6.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million
which expire in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 (none of the Company's NOLs expires in
2010). The Company's other deferred tax assets of $106.4 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 properties likely to be sold during the NOL carryforward
periods; and its ability in many cases 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.

          A significant portion of the Company's NOLs was used to reduce tax
payments for 1998, and the Company believes it will use the balance of its NOLs
to reduce tax payments for 1999. The ultimate amount of federal tax payments, if
any, would depend on the Company's taxable income.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

          Many of the Company's properties are in urban and industrial areas and
may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial
companies that may have discharged hazardous materials. The Company incurs on-
going environmental remediation costs, and legal costs relating to clean-up,
defense of litigation and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs
incurred in connection with operating properties and with properties previously
sold are expensed. As of December 31, 1998, management has provided a reserve of
$10.8 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 few
years (see Note 16 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
further discussions).

          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, 1998, the Company's estimate of its potential liability for identified
environmental costs relating to properties to be developed or sold ranged from
$11.4 million to $30.4 million. These costs generally will be capitalized as
they are incurred over the course of the estimated development period of
approximately 20 years. Environmental costs capitalized during 1998 totaled $3.6
million.

While the Company or outside consultants have evaluated the environmental
liabilities associated with most of the properties currently owned by the
Company, any evaluation necessarily is based upon then-prevailing law,
identified site conditions and the use of sampling methodologies. Also, the
Company does not generally have access to properties sold in the past which
could create environmental liabilities. The Company monitors its exposure to
environmental costs on a regular basis. 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 flows.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

          Overview. To address the potential effects of the Year 2000 problem
(the inability of some hardware and software to distinguish the year 2000 from
the year 1900), the Company has adopted a program (the "Program") that examines
three areas:

          .    The Company's information systems, including hardware and
               software ("I.S.");

          .    The Company's non-I.S. systems that use date-sensitive technology
               ("Embedded Technology"); and

          .    Third parties with whom the Company does business ("Third
               Parties").

          For each area, the Program has three phases:

          .    Phase 1, Inventory: Develop a list of potentially affected
               functions;

          .    Phase II, Assessment and planning: Assess the nature and severity
               of the problem and determine necessary corrective action; and

          .    Phase III, Remediation and testing: Implement any necessary
               corrective action and test the results.

          Information Systems. A failure of systems such as the Company's
telephones or computer network could materially impair the Company's ability to
perform essential business functions, such as the collection of revenue, payment
of debts, and communications generally.

          The Company has substantially completed Phases I and II of the Program
for I.S., and Phase III is currently underway. Since January 1997, the Company
has ensured that all regularly scheduled I.S. replacements and upgrades are Year
2000 compliant. From January 1, 1997, through December 31, 1998, the Company
spent approximately $984,000 on I.S. improvements, upgrades and replacements.
For the period from January 1, 1997, to December 31, 1999, the Company may spend
up to approximately $3.0 million on I.S. improvements, upgrades and
replacements. Substantially all of these expenditures are primarily for business
purposes other than addressing Year 2000 issues and a significant portions of
these expenditures will be financed through capital leases. In 1999, the Company
expects to spend approximately $175,000 on testing and upgrades specifically
related to the Year 2000 issue. No planned I.S. projects have been deferred
because of the Program.

                                       34
<PAGE>
 
          The Company believes that, with these improvements, upgrades and
replacements, the Year 2000 problem will not significantly affect its I.S. If
planned improvements, upgrades and replacements are not timely completed (for
example, because of a scarcity of Year 2000 compliant products), the Year 2000
problem could have a material impact on the Company. Nonetheless, the Company
believes that its plans for resolving the Year 2000 problem with respect to I.S.
are adequate and that it will not need to develop contingency plans.

          Embedded Technology. Electronic monitoring and control systems may
have date-sensitive coding embedded within their circuitry that is susceptible
to failure if it is not Year 2000 compliant. Year 2000 noncompliance could
affect the functioning of elevators and escalators, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems, security systems, fire-life safety systems, and other
automated building systems, which could affect use and access to buildings and
emergency response capabilities.

          In December 1998, the Company completed an inventory of Embedded
Technology in those systems for which the Company is responsible in its
approximately 250 buildings. Phase II is currently underway and Phase III will
be performed as affected systems are identified. The Company has solicited bids
from engineering and consulting firms for assistance in performing Phases II and
III, and the Company is currently discussing terms of engagement with a firm
that can provide these services on a nationwide basis. While the Company is
currently unable to estimate the costs it will incur in Phases II and III, the
Company expects that these costs will not exceed $1,000,000. The Company expects
to complete this work in the second quarter of 1999. If necessary, contingency
planning is scheduled for the second and third quarters of 1999. Meanwhile, the
Company has incorporated Year 2000 compliance in its due diligence for any
acquisition of property.

          Third Parties. The Company depends on a wide variety of Third Parties.
To the extent that Third Parties are unable to perform because of their own Year
2000 problems, the Company may be adversely affected. Because of the speculative
nature of these risks, it is not possible to estimate their financial impact on
the Company. Third Parties on whom the Company depends include:

          .    Customers, such as tenants and buyers of properties;

          .    Suppliers of goods, services or capital; and

          .    Regulatory bodies, such as government agencies from whom the
               Company must obtain permits in order to proceed with its
               projects.

          In the third quarter of 1998, the Company began identifying and
prioritizing Third Parties and communicating with them about their approach to
the Year 2000 problem. This phase is expected to be substantially complete by
second quarter of 1999. The Company has initiated more detailed evaluations of
the most critical Third Parties. If necessary, these evaluations will be
followed, where possible, by the development of contingency plans, scheduled for
second quarter of 1999. In most cases, the Company must rely primarily on
statements from Third Parties as to their Year 2000 readiness and will not
attempt any independent verification. Because the systems of Third Parties are
outside the Company's control, the remediation and testing phase of the Program
is not applicable to Third Parties.

          This area of the Program is being undertaken by the Company's
employees and is not expected to involve significant additional expenditures or
to delay any other work of the Company significantly.

          Summary. The Program schedule is subject to change depending on future
developments, including delays by Third Parties. A failure to correct
significant Year 2000 problems could impair the Company's ability to conduct its
business and could affect its financial performance. Because of the general
uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem and the uncertainty about the Year
2000 readiness of Third Parties, the Company cannot determine whether there will
be a material impact on its results of operations, liquidity, or financial
condition. The Company believes that the Program will significantly reduce the
risk of interruption of the Company's business operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS

          Except for historical matters, the matters discussed in this annual
report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We
have tried, wherever practical, to identify these forward-looking statements by
using words like "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "expect," and
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements about plans; opportunities; markets and economic conditions;
development, construction and sales activities; availability of financing; and
property values.

                                       35

          We caution that these forward-looking statements reflect our current
beliefs and are based on information currently available to us. Accordingly,
these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by these statements. In particular, among the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially are:

          .    Changes in the real estate market or in general economic
               conditions in the areas in which we own property

          .    Competition in the real estate industry

          .    Changes in tax laws and other circumstances that affect our
               ability to control the timing and recognition of deferred tax
               liability

          .    Availability of financing to meet our capital needs, the
               variability of interest rates, and our ability to use our
               collateral to secure loans

          .    Delay in receipt of or denial of government approvals and
               entitlements for development projects, and other political and
               discretionary government decisions affecting the use of or access
               to land

          .    Exposure of our assets to damage from natural occurrences such as
               earthquakes, and weather conditions that affect the progress of
               construction

          .    Liability for environmental remediation at properties owned or
               formerly owned by us or our predecessors

          .    Changes in the cost of land and building materials

          .    Our ability to recruit and retain or replace key personnel

          .    Limitations on or challenges to title to our properties

          .    Risks related to the performance, interests and financial
               strength of our joint venture projects

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's financial position is exposed to fluctuation in the variable
interest rates for its debt.  At December 31, 1998, the Company did not have any
outstanding interest-protection contracts.  The majority of the Company's
financial instruments are not considered market risk sensitive instruments, as
they are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price
risk; the only instruments considered market risk sensitive are its loans with
variable interest rates.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company had mortgage and other debts totaling
$252,948,000 that were subject to variable interest rates; they are summarized
as follows:

          .    Secured revolving credit line, interest variable (7.44% at
               December 31, 1998), due November 1, 2000: $190,135,000.

          .    Unsecured revolving credit line, interest variable (6.75% at
               December 31, 1998), due October 1, 2000: $24,700,000.

          .    Residential construction loans, interest variable (7.75% to 8.75%
               at December 31, 1998), due at various dates through February 26,
               2002: $3,975,000.

          .    Term loan, secured interest variable (7.0% at December 31, 1998),
               due August 1, 2002: $12,778,000.

          .    Secured promissory notes, interest variable (9.0% at 9.75% at
               December 31, 1998), due at various dates through October 22,
               2003: $21,360,000.

If interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual effect of such increase
to the Company's financial position and cash flows would be approximately $2.5
million, based on the outstanding balance at December 31, 1998.  The fluctuation
of interest rates is not determinable; accordingly, actual results from interest
rate fluctuation could differ from the estimate presented above.

                       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, 1998 and 1997 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, 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


     Catellus Development Corporation, together with its consolidated
subsidiaries, (the Company) is a diversified real estate operating company, with
a large portfolio of income-producing properties and developable land, that
manages and develops real estate for its own account and others. The Company's
development portfolio of industrial, residential, retail, office, and joint
venture projects are primarily located in major markets in California and seven
other states. The Company's income-producing 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 consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries
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 or fixed
escalations 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 percentage-of-completion method. In general,
specific identification and relative sales value methods are 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 and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments --The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less
at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Of the total restricted cash and
investments of $49.3 million, $8.8 million at December 31, 1998, represents
proceeds from development property sales being held in separate cash accounts at
a trust company in order to preserve the Company's options of reinvesting the
proceeds on a tax-deferred basis.  In addition, restricted investments of $40.5
million at December 31, 1998 represent certificates of deposits used to guaranty
completion of building construction and lease performance for certain properties
securing mortgage debt.

     Interest rate protection contracts ("Treasury-lock contracts") --The
Company may enter into an interest rate protection agreement to lock its
interest rate when negotiating fixed rate financing agreements. Amounts paid or
received are capitalized and amortized as a component of interest expense using
the effective interest method over the term of the associated mortgage debt
agreement.

     Financial instruments--The historical cost basis of the Company's notes
receivable is representative of fair value based on a comparison to year-end
interest rates for receivables of comparable risks and maturities.  Mortgage and
other debt have carrying values which approximate estimated fair value based on
a comparison to year-end interest rates for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities, with the exception of one of the Company's first mortgage
loans in 1997. As of December 31, 1997, this loan had an estimated aggregate
fair market value of $270 million and remaining principal of $251.6 million.

                                      F-7
<PAGE>
 
     Property and deferred costs--Real estate is stated at cost or the lower of
cost or estimated fair value. For operating properties and properties held for
long-term investment, a write-down to estimated fair value is recognized when a
property's estimated undiscounted future cash flow, before interest charges, is
less than its book value. For properties held for sale, a write-down to
estimated fair value is recorded when the Company determines that the carrying
cost exceeds the estimated selling price, less cost to sell. This evaluation is
made by management on a property by property basis. The evaluation of fair value
and future cash flows from individual properties requires significant judgment;
it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate could occur.

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

     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 expense as incurred, while
significant improvements, replacements and major renovations are capitalized.

     Allocated costs--Direct and indirect costs, including related general and
administrative expense, incurred by the Company in connection with property
sales and development and management fees are reflected as an offset to the
associated revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Included in cost of sales were direct and indirect costs of $12.0 million, $8.0
million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Development and management fee income, net, included $8.6 million,
$7.5 million and $8.5 million of direct and indirect costs for the same periods.

     Notes receivable--Notes receivable are carried at the principal balance,
less estimated uncollectible amounts of $1.9 million as of December 31, 1998.
Interest is recognized as earned; however, the Company discontinues accruing
interest when collection is considered doubtful.  All notes are secured by real
property.

     Allowance for uncollectible accounts--Accounts receivable are net of an
allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $1.3 million and $2.1 million at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     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
charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold.

     The Company maintains a reserve for known, probable costs of environmental
remediation to be incurred in connection with operating properties and
properties previously sold. 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 bases 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.

     Income per share--Income per share of common stock applicable to common
stockholders is computed by dividing net income, before extraordinary expense,
after reduction for preferred stock dividends and premium on redemption of
preferred stock, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
equivalents outstanding during the period (see table below for effect of
dilutive securities).

     Preferred stock convertible into 29,040,000 shares of common stock was
outstanding at December 31, 1996, but was not included in the computation of
diluted income per share because the assumed conversion would have been anti-
dilutive for the period.

     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.

     New Accounting Standards--In the fourth quarter 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
changed the method of calculation and presentation of earnings per share.  This
change did not have any impact on previously reported income per share amounts
for the years ended December 31, 1996 or 1997.

     During June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, ''Segment Reporting'', which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for determining an entity's operating segments and the
type and level of financial information to be disclosed.  The Company adopted
this statement for the annual financial statements for the year ending December
31, 1998.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".  SFAS
No. 133 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The statement
requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and
establishes new accounting treatment for the different types of transactions
qualifying for hedge accounting.  The Company plans to adopt this statement in
the first quarter of 2000.  Management does not believe this new standard will
significantly impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows of the Company.

</TABLE> 
(a) On October 26, 1998, the Company closed a $373 million loan, which bears
    interest at 6.01% and is amortized over 30 years with a maturity of 10
    years.  The Company repaid an existing first mortgage loan which had an
    average interest rate of 8.71% and recognized a $25.2 million extraordinary
    charge, net of tax benefit of $16.8 million, related to the early retirement
    of this loan.  In connection with this new loan, the Company executed
    several Treasury-lock contracts for purposes of fixing the interest rate on
    this new loan.  The net payment upon liquidation of the Treasury-lock
    contracts was approximately $16.9 million which, considered with other
    financing costs, resulted in an effective interest rate of 6.6% on the new
    loan.

    This loan is collateralized by certain of the Company's operating properties
    and by an assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties. This
    loan has a yield maintenance premium if paid prior to maturity.

(b) The Company's $265 million secured revolving credit line was extended and
    modified on October 30, 1998. The secured revolving credit line's maturity
    was extended for two years to November 1, 2000, at an initial amount of $213
    million, with the capacity to go up to $265 million provided that additional
    lender participation is obtained. At December 31, 1998, the line's capacity
    was $215.9 million with $22.4 million available for future borrowings. The
    credit line is collateralized by certain of the Company's operating
    properties, an assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties
    and certain land holdings.

(c) The first mortgage loans consist of $148.5 million bearing interest at 6.65%
    (6.82% effective rate when considering financing costs), maturing in
    September 2006; $22.2 million bearing interest at 9.75%, maturing October
    2002; and $13.9 million bearing interest at 7.625% to 9.5%, maturing at
    various dates from October 2002 through March 2009 from various lenders.

    During 1998, the Company closed $153.5 million of new loans, of which $148.9
    million was funded through December 31, 1998. The loans amortize over 30
    years with a maturity of 8 years. The remaining $4.6 million of the loan is
    expected to close in 1999 when collateral provisions are met.

                                      F-10
<PAGE>
 
    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.

(d) In connection with acquisitions of land, land leases and other leases,
    subsidiaries of the Company issued a total of $40.1 million of secured
    promissory notes. The Company intends to sell these assets. Accordingly,
    these collaterized promissory notes are paid-down on a pro-rata basis upon
    the sales of these assets.

(e) On September 25, 1998, the Company's residential subsidiary closed an
    unsecured credit line with a capacity up to $60 million. This credit line
    bears interest at LIBOR + 1.5% which was 6.75% at December 31, 1998, and
    matures on October 1, 2000. At December 31, 1998, the line's capacity was
    $28.8 million with $4.1 million available for future borrowings.

(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.

(g) The Company's residential construction loans are used to finance development
    projects and are secured by the related land and improvements.

(h) This secured term loan is collateralized by an operating property and by an
    assignment of rents generated by the underlying property.

(i) These promissory notes were used to finance land purchases for residential
    development projects and are secured by deeds of trust.

(j) In conjunction with improvements made by a third party that will benefit a
    mixed-use project, the Company issued a note for $8.6 million. The note
    bears interest at a Commercial Paper Rate plus 50 basis points (5.33% at
    December 31, 1998) and matures October 15, 2025.

    Certain loan agreements contain restrictive financial covenants, the most
restrictive of which require a debt coverage ratio of at least 1.30:1, require
stockholders' equity to be no less than $409 million, and require that the
Company maintain certain other specified financial ratios. The Company was in
compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 1998.

1998 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

     During 1996, the Company generated a net operating loss carryforward of
$0.2 million for tax purposes which expires in 2011. Deferred income tax expense
was reduced to reflect the future benefit of this amount. Deferred tax assets
include $6.0 million relating to net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of
$17.1 million. The Company has NOLs of $10.1 million, $6.5 million, $0.3 million
and $0.2 million which expire in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 (none of the
Company's NOLs are scheduled to expire in 2010).

     The income tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 associated with the exercise of stock options is
credited directly to paid-in capital on the accompanying statement of
shareholders' equity.

</TABLE>

     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. The Company
does not recognize its share of losses generated by joint ventures in excess of
its investment unless it is committed, legally or otherwise, to fund deficits in
the future.

     The Company has contributed appreciated property to certain of its joint
venture investments. Although the properties are recorded by the venture at fair
value on the date of contribution, the related gains have been deferred in the
Company's financial statements and will be recognized when the properties are
sold by the joint ventures.

Note 13.  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
$0.9 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

     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 1996 through 1999.

     The Company also has four stock option plans under which certain committees
of the Board of Directors may grant options to purchase up to 8,750,000 shares
of common stock (Stock Option Plan, 1995 Stock Option Plan, Amended and Restated
Executive Stock Option Plan and Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award
Plan). The exercise price of options granted under these plans is generally the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options generally
are exercisable no earlier than six months from the date of grant and typically
expire ten years after the date of grant, although some options expire after
five years.  A majority of the options granted in 1998 become exercisable in
four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of
grant.  The remaining options generally become exercisable in three annual
installments commencing on the first or third anniversary of the date of grant.
A number of options granted in 1998 also require achievement of stock price
benchmarks before each annual installment becomes exercisable.

     The Company also has various plans through which non-employee directors may
purchase common stock of the Company.

     Under the Amended and Restated Executive Stock Option Plan, each non-
employee director was 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. No further options may be granted to non-employee directors under this
plan.

     Under the Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award Plan, each non-
employee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of
common stock upon initial election to the Board of Directors and annually
thereafter during his or her term of service. The exercise price of these
options is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and
the options are exercisable based upon stock price performance benchmarks.

     In addition, under the Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award Plan,
each non-employee director may elect to defer receipt of his or her annual
retainer fee, meeting fees, and chairmen's retainer until termination of board
service or upon the occurrence of an earlier specified date which is at least
three years after the election of deferral and to acquire stock rather than
receive cash at a purchase price equal to 90% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of deferral.

     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, ''Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees'' (APB 25), and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ''Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation'' (Statement 123) requires use of option valuation models
that were developed for use in valuing publicly traded stock options. Under APB
25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.

     Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and income (loss) per
share is required by Statement 123 and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method. The
weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
$6.26, $6.36 and $3.30, respectively. The fair value of options granted was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.15%, 6.22%, and 5.82%; zero percent
dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of 31.4%, 29.95% and 29.56%, and a weighted-average
expected life of the options of five years.

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's
pro forma information is as follows:

     The Company has authorized the issuance of 150 million shares of $.01 par
value common stock. The Company has reserved 8,750,000 shares of common stock
pursuant to various compensation programs.

     Prior to September 1996, the Company had outstanding 3,449,999 shares of
$3.75 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A preferred stock)
and 3,000,000 shares of $3.625 Series B Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock (Series B preferred stock). The Series A preferred stock had an
annual dividend of $3.75 per share and a stated value of $50 per share. The
Series A preferred stock was convertible into common stock at a price of $9.06
per common share and was also redeemable, at the Company's option, at any time
after February 16, 1996, at $52.625 per share. The Series B preferred stock had
an annual dividend of $3.625 per share and a stated value of $50 per share. The
Series B preferred stock was convertible into common stock at a price of $9.80
per common share and was also redeemable, at the Company's option, at any time
after November 15, 1996, at $52.5375 per share.

     During 1996, the Company commenced a series of calls for redemption of its
outstanding preferred stock. As a result of these calls, during 1996, 453,326
Series A preferred shares were converted into 2,501,783 common shares and
508,113 Series A preferred shares were redeemed at a cost of approximately $26.7
million. In 1997, 2,480,671 shares of Series A preferred stock and all of the
Series B preferred stock were converted into 29,001,469 shares of common stock,
with 7,889 shares of Series A preferred stock redeemed at a cost of
approximately $440,000. With the completion of these calls in June 1997, the
Company has no remaining outstanding  preferred stock.

Note 15.  Segment Reporting

     The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are
based on the Company's method of internal reporting which disaggregates its
business by service rendered and asset type. The Company has four reportable
segments:  Asset Management, Commercial Development, Residential Development,
and Mixed-Use Development.  The Asset Management segment consists of leasing,
management and sales of Company owned buildings and land leases.  The Commercial
Development segment develops real estate for the Company's own account or for
third parties, and acquires and sells developable land and commercial buildings.
The Residential Development segment is involved in home building, community
development and project management activities.  The Mixed-Use Development
segment entitles and develops major mixed-use development sites, which include
development for residential, office, retail and entertainment purposes.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2).  Each segment is
evaluated on the excess of revenues over costs, exclusive of depreciation,
amortization, income taxes and extraordinary expense. Inter-segment gains and
losses are not recognized. Debt and interest bearing assets are allocated to
segments based upon the grouping of the underlying assets. All other assets and
liabilities are specifically identified. Each segment has a separate operating
management structure, but more than one segment may ultimately report to the
same operating manager.

Note 16.  Commitments and Contingencies

     As of December 31, 1998, the Company has outstanding standby letters of
credit and surety bonds in the amount of $104.5 million in favor of local
municipalities or financial institutions to guarantee performance on real
property improvements or financial obligations.

     The Company, as a partner in certain joint ventures, has made certain
financing guarantees (Note 5).

     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 current insurance coverages and 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 liability may arise from the current or past ownership, or
current or past operation, of real properties. Also, the Company does not
generally have access to properties sold in the past which could create
environmental liabilities. 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 because of
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 that of other
responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from
insurance.

                                      F-23
<PAGE>
 
     At December 31, 1998, management estimates that future costs for
remediation of identified or suspected environmental contamination on operating
properties and properties previously sold approximate $10.8 million, and has
provided a reserve for that amount. It is anticipated that such costs will be
incurred over the next ten years with a substantial portion incurred over the
next five years. Management also estimates that similar costs relating to the
Company's properties to be developed or sold may range from $11.4 million to
$30.4 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.
The Company's estimates were developed based on reviews which took place over
several years based upon then prevailing law and identified site conditions.
Because of the breadth of its portfolio, and past sales, the Company is unable
to review each property extensively 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.

Summarized Quarterly Results (Unaudited)

     The Company's income 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 (i) a number of properties have been owned for many decades; (ii)
some properties were acquired within the last ten to fifteen years; (iii)
properties are owned in various geographical locations; and (iv) development
projects have varying infrastructure costs and build-out periods.

/(1)/  The Company uses a supplemental performance measure called Earnings
       Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT), along with net income, to
       report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results
       or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
       accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative
       of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an
       alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company
       believes that EBDDT provides relevant information about its operations
       and is necessary, along with net income, for an understanding of its
       operating results.

       EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income.
       Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from
       EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges. In addition, gains on the sale
       of non-strategic assets and extraordinary items, including their current
       tax effect, represent unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded
       from the EBDDT calculation.

           --------------------------------                                     
Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed
(which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a
365-day year).  Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which
interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day
thereof.  Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Banks in the absence of
manifest error.

     2.11  Payments by the Borrower  .
           ------------------------   

          2.11.1   All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.  Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks at the Administrative
Agent's Payment Office, and shall be made in dollars and in immediately
available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time on the date
specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each
Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein)
of such payment in like funds as received.  Any payment received by the
Administrative Agent later than 11:00 a.m. San Francisco time shall be deemed to
have been received on the following Business Day, and any applicable interest or
fee shall continue to accrue.

          2.11.2   Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of the
term "Interest Period", whenever any payment is due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest
or fees, as the case may be.

          2.11.3   Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the

<PAGE>
 
Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank.  If and to the extent the Borrower has not made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the
Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Bank until the date repaid.

     2.12  Payments by the Banks to the Administrative Agent  .
           -------------------------------------------------   

          2.12.1   Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Bank
on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the
Closing Date, at least one (1)  Business Day prior to the date of such
Borrowing, that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Borrower, the amount of that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the
Borrowing as and when required hereunder, the Administrative Agent may assume
that each Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the
extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent
in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, that Bank
shall, on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date, make such amount
available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal
Funds Rate for each day during such period.  A notice of the Administrative
Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section
                                                                     -------
2.12.1 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If such amount is so made
- ------                                                                       
available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank's
Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.  If such
amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day
following the Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower
of such failure to fund and, within five (5) Business Days following written
demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's account, together with
interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a
rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
comprising such borrowing (but without payment of any breakage costs or other
amounts described in Section 3.4).
                     -----------  

          2.12.2   The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any Borrowing
Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan
on such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any

                                      -34-

other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on any Borrowing Date.
Any Bank that fails to make a Loan to the Borrower on a Borrowing Date shall be
liable to the Borrower for such failure, and the Borrower may proceed to enforce
this Agreement against such defaulting Bank.

     2.13  Sharing of Payments  .  If, other than as expressly provided
           -------------------                                         
elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the Obligations owing to
it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share, such Bank shall
immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
from the other Banks such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment pro rata
with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
                   --------                                                    
payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank
the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying
Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower
agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off, as limited by Section 10.9) with respect to such
                                    ------------                      
participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records
(which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of
participations purchased under this Section 2.13, and will in each case notify
                                    ------------                              
the Banks following any such purchases or repayments.

     2.14  Security  .  All obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement,
           --------                                                          
the Notes and all other Loan Documents (but not including the Environmental
Indemnity) shall be secured in accordance with the Collateral Documents.

reconvey or release a Property from the lien of the applicable Deed of Trust
upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:

     Agent a written request for the reconveyance or release of such Property at
     least ten (10) days prior to the requested reconveyance or release date;

     Property, with all applicable Requirements of Law governing the subdivision
     and transfer of real property;

               (d0  No Monetary Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
     and be continuing, except the occurrence of any Monetary Default or Event
     of Default that would be fully cured by the reconveyance or release of such
     Property from the lien of the applicable Deed of Trust; and

               (e0   The Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
     Agent such endorsements to the Administrative Agent's policies of title
     insurance covering the Deeds of Trust as the Administrative Agent may
     reasonably request.

          2.15.2   Reconveyance of a Portion of a Property.  The Administrative
                   ---------------------------------------                     
Agent shall reconvey a parcel ("Parcel") of a Property from the lien of the

applicable Deed of Trust in connection with any sale or exchange of any such
Parcel, or upon the Borrower=s request, upon the satisfaction of all of the
following conditions precedent:

               (a) The Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
     Agent, at least thirty (30) days prior to the requested reconveyance date,
     a written request for reconveyance of the applicable Parcel, accompanied by
     the certificate of a Responsible Officer (to which a true and complete copy
     of the purchase and sale or exchange agreement for the Parcel, if any,
     shall be attached as an exhibit) setting forth, in such detail as the
     Administrative Agent may reasonably require, (i) if applicable, the gross
     purchase price of the Parcel and (ii) a calculation of the value of the
     Parcel (determined by multiplying the average per acre value of the Parcel,
     based on the last full appraisal of the Property from which the Parcel is
     to be released, by the size of the Parcel in acres (and fractions
     thereof));

               (b) The Administrative Agent shall have determined the
     Availability which would exist following the release of the Parcel by
     revaluing the Property from which such Parcel is to be released (the

     Agent has completed its review and update of the last full Appraisal of the
     Revaluation Property or (B) the date that is forty-five (45) days after the
     release of such Parcel (the "Interim Valuation Period" for such Revaluation

     the Parcel, based on the last full appraisal of the Revaluation Property,
     multiplied by the size of the Parcel in acres (and fractions thereof); (ii)
     during the period, if any, from the end of the Interim Valuation Period
     until the date on which the Administrative Agent has completed its review
     and update of the last full Appraisal of the Revaluation Property,  the As-
     Is Appraised Value of the Revaluation Property shall be further reduced by
     100% of the value attributed to the remainder of the Revaluation Property
     consisting of land in the last full appraisal of the Revaluation Property;
     and (iii) from and after the date on which the Administrative Agent
     completes its review and update of the last full Appraisal of the
     Revaluation Property, the As-Is Appraised Value of the Revaluation Property
     shall be based upon the Administrative Agent=s review and update of such
     Appraisal (which review and update may result in a change in the As-Is
     Appraised Value of the Revaluation Property, but shall be based on a
     valuation as of the date of the last full Appraisal of such Property).  The
     Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent and provide the
     Administrative Agent and its appraiser with all information regarding the
     Revaluation Property reasonably required by the Administrative Agent or
     such appraiser to prepare an Appraisal update for such Property.   Promptly
     following completion of the Appraisal update for the Revaluation Property
     and, if earlier, at the end of the Interim Valuation Period, the
     Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing of the revised
     As-Is Appraised Value of the Revaluation Property, taking into account the
     release of the Parcel.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
     within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent=s written demand, all
     costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent's appraiser.  If the
     Administrative Agent determines, in accordance with this Section 2.15.2(b),

     that the Availability which would exist immediately following release of
     the subject Parcel would be less than the aggregate principal amount
     outstanding on the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
     Borrower of such fact and of the amount of any principal prepayment
     necessary to reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Loans
     to the amount of the Availability.  The Borrower shall thereupon have the
     right to cause the condition precedent contained in this Section 2.15.2(b)

     to be satisfied by paying to the Administrative Agent, on account of the
     principal of the Loan, the amount stated in the notification described
     above.  If the Administrative Agent determines, in accordance with this

     the Availability at such time.  Within ten (10) days after the
     Administrative Agent's notice to the Borrower of the amount of any Required
     Principal Reduction, the Borrower shall pay such Required Principal
     Reduction to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks, in
     accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.6;

     legal parcel on the date of this Agreement (or on the recording date of the
     Deed of Trust encumbering such Parcel, if later), the Administrative Agent
     shall have approved, in its reasonable discretion, the location and
     configuration of the Parcel to be released and of the remaining Property;

               (d) The Borrower shall have complied, with respect to the Parcel
     to be released and the remaining Property, with all applicable laws, rules
     and regulations governing the subdivision and transfer of real property
     (and the remaining Property shall be lawfully transferable as a whole,
     without the need to file a subdivision or parcel map of any kind);

     other easements over the real property to be reconveyed for the benefit of
     the remaining Property as may be reasonably required by the Administrative
     Agent;

               (a0  No Event of Default or Monetary Default shall have occurred

In addition, upon the reconveyance or release of all of a Sale-Leaseback
Property from the lien of the Deed of Trust encumbering such Sale-Leaseback
Property, the Administrative Agent shall also release any liens or security
interests it may then hold in any of the Borrower's other rights or interests in
such Sale-Leaseback Property, including any assignment of the Borrower's option
to purchase the Sale-Leaseback Property and any pledge of the purchase money
note payable to the Borrower and secured by one or more deeds of trust
encumbering the fee interest in such Sale-Leaseback Property.

absolute discretion, (a) each Property that is encumbered with a Deed of Trust
being recorded on the Closing Date and (b) the As-Is Appraised Value established
for each Existing Property.  If within such sixty (60) day period any Bank
disapproves any such Property or the As-Is Appraised Value established for any
such Existing Property by giving written notice of such disapproval to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice
to the Borrower of such disapproval.  For purposes of determining Portfolio
Appraisal Value on and after the date of such written notice to the Borrower,
(c) any such disapproved Property shall no longer be considered and (d) the As-
Is Appraised Value of any such disapproved Existing Property shall be recomputed
making use of the "Appraised Value" of such Existing Property immediately prior

Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments to such Appraisal as the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, reasonably deems appropriate.

          2.16.3   Within five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent
determines the final As-Is Appraised Value for a property, the Administrative
Agent shall determine whether such property satisfies all of the following
conditions:

               (a0  such property is improved with a completed industrial,
     manufacturing or warehouse distribution facility, or is an R&D Property;

               (b0  100% of the net rentable area of such property is subject to
     one or more signed leases to paying third party tenants expiring not less
     than five (5) years after the date of the Administrative Agent's
     determination; and

               (c0  such property would, if encumbered with a Deed of Trust,
     cause an increase in the Availability of $10,000,000.00 or less.

If the Administrative Agent determines that such property satisfies all of the
conditions set forth in this Section 2.16.3, the Administrative Agent may, in
                             --------------

the benefit of the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for the Banks;
if the Administrative Agent determines that such property does not satisfy all
such conditions, then the Supermajority Banks may, in their sole discretion,
approve encumbering such property with a Deed of Trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for the Banks; provided, however,

that notwithstanding the foregoing, if such property satisfies all of the
conditions set forth in the definition of the term "Construction Property" all
of the Banks, in their sole discretion, must approve encumbering such property
with a Deed of Trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, as
administrative agent for the Banks.

          2.16.4   Upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in

Supermajority Banks, as applicable, such property shall be a "Property" for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Availability
shall be recomputed taking account of such additional Property.

Administrative Agent or the Banks to develop each Construction Property
(including the performance of site work, installation of utilities, construction
of improvements and alteration or removal of any existing improvements) to the
extent contemplated under the leases and/or the sale agreement relating to such
Construction Property.  Once the Borrower has commenced construction of
improvements on a Construction Property, the Borrower shall diligently proceed
to complete construction of such improvements, free and clear of Liens,
substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

distribution to the Banks whose Pro Rata Shares of the combined Commitments of
all of the Banks has decreased pursuant to this Agreement, an amount equal to

inviting any Eligible Assignee that has previously been approved by the
Administrative Agent in writing to become a Bank under this Agreement and to
provide a commitment to lend hereunder (and accordingly increase the Maximum
Commitment Amount by such amount); provided, however, that in no event shall

its Pro Rata Share of Borrowings to the Borrower up to and including the amount
of such Eligible Assignee's or Bank's Pro Rata Share of the increased Maximum
Commitment Amount, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

          2.19.3   Upon any increase in the Maximum Commitment Amount pursuant

thereof is to increase the cost to any Bank or its Offshore Lending Office of

such Bank to compensation under this Section 3.1 (and further agrees to

Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the
interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, occurring after the
date of this Agreement has made it unlawful, or (b) any central bank or other
Governmental Authority has asserted after the date of this Agreement that it is
unlawful for such Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make LIBOR Loans,

Agent, any obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until
such Bank notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the

LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and
demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in full
such Bank's LIBOR Loans then outstanding, together with interest accrued
thereon, but without any amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid in
connection with such prepayment under Section 3.4, either on the last day of the

LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Bank may not lawfully continue
to maintain such LIBOR Loans.  If the Borrower is required to so prepay any
LIBOR Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Borrower shall borrow
from the affected Bank, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

          3.2.3   If the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans
has been so terminated or suspended, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to
such Bank and the Administrative Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be
made by such Bank as LIBOR Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

          3.2.4   Before giving any notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent under this Section 3.2, the affected Bank shall designate a

will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not,

Bank.

regulation occurring after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance by
such Bank (or its Lending Office) with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law)
imposed after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Loans, then
the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty
(30) days of demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such
Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank for such
increased costs; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to

other similarly situated borrowers.  Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of its actual knowledge of
any event that would entitle such Bank to compensation under this Section 3.3.1

Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or
administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration

policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's desired return on
capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a
consequence of its Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this
Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of such Bank's demand to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Bank, from time to time as

as a consequence of:

after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing
or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation;

Banks of funding such Loan (and, as a matter of general policy, the Majority
Banks are not making LIBOR Loans to other borrowers similarly situated), the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Bank.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain LIBOR Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent, upon the
instruction of the Majority Banks, revokes such notice in writing.  Upon receipt
of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it.  If the Borrower does not revoke
such Notice, the Banks shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by
the Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the
Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate
Loans instead

of LIBOR Loans.  No breakage or other costs described in Section 3.4 shall be

Collateral Documents, while any Obligation remains outstanding, the Borrower
shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with insurers reasonably approved by
the Administrative Agent and the Majority Banks, the following policies of
insurance with respect to each Property (except that the Borrower shall not be
required to maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance required under (i)
clauses (a) and (b), below, with respect to any Ground Leased Property, or (ii)
clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e), below, with respect to any Property consisting

Banks:

          (a) blanket property insurance covering 100% of the replacement cost
of the improvements located on such Property in the event of fire, lightning,
windstorm, vandalism, malicious mischief and all other risks normally covered by
"all risk" coverage policies in the area where the Property is located
(including loss by flood if the Property is in an area designated as subject to

reasonably required by the Administrative Agent from time to time, and in no
event less than $5,000,000 for "single occurrence";

policies described in subparagraphs (a) and/or (b), above;

          (e) workers' compensation insurance to the extent required by law in

All such insurance shall provide that such policies shall not be canceled for
non-payment of premium, without at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, or otherwise canceled, surrendered without replacement
or materially amended (which term shall include any reduction in the scope or
limits of coverage) without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent.  The policies required under subparagraphs (a), (b)
and (d) shall include a "lender's loss payable endorsement" (Form 438BFU or its
equivalent) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
assuring the Administrative Agent that all proceeds shall be paid to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, as encumbrancer.  BofA, as
Administrative Agent, in all cases for the benefit of the Banks, shall be named
as an additional insured in the policies required under subparagraph (c).  No
such insurance (other than earthquake insurance) shall include deductible
amounts in excess of $100,000 to which the Administrative Agent has not
previously consented in writing.  Certificates of insurance for the above
policies (and/or, with respect to property insurance policies, certified copies
of the original policies, if required by the Administrative Agent) shall be
delivered to the Administrative Agent from time to time within ten (10) days
following written demand.  All policies insuring against damage to the
improvements located on any Property shall contain an agreed value clause or
equivalent coverage sufficient to eliminate any risk of co-insurance.  Prior to
the expiration of any such policy, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent evidence of renewal or replacement of such policy
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

any Property:

          (a) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or
levies upon any Property; and

          (b) all other lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a
Lien upon any such Property;

and all other obligations and liabilities in excess of $10,000.00 with respect
to any Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any such claim, tax, assessment or
governmental charge so long as (i) its validity is being contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings and (ii) the Borrower has demonstrated to the
Administrative Agent's reasonable satisfaction that leaving such claim, tax,
assessment or governmental charge unpaid or unperformed pending the outcome of
such proceedings could not, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment,
result in the sale of any Property to satisfy such claim, tax, assessment or
governmental charge or otherwise impair the Banks' interests under the Loan
Documents; provided that, if at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably
           --------

Administrative Agent may require the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative
Agent a bond or other Surety Instrument reasonably satisfactory to the

tax, assessment or governmental charge as a condition of the Borrower's
continued right to contest such claim, tax, assessment or governmental charge.

its business (including the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act), except such (i)
as may be contested in good faith, (ii) as to which a bona fide dispute may
exist, or (iii) as to which failure to comply could not reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

     6.9  Inspection of Property and Books and Records  .  The Borrower shall
          --------------------------------------------

financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the
Borrower.  Subject to the requirements of Section 10.8, the Borrower shall
                                          ------------                    
permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent
or any Bank to visit and inspect any of the Properties, to examine its
corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts
therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors,
officers, agents and independent public accountants, all at such reasonable
times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired,
upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that when an
                                                --------                       
Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may do any of the
foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business
hours and without advance notice.  The Administrative Agent and the Banks, in
conducting any inspections of any Property, shall comply with reasonable
restrictions on access imposed by tenants under tenant leases.

     6.10  Environmental Laws  .
           ------------------   

          (a) The Borrower shall conduct its operations and keep and maintain
its property in compliance with all Environmental Laws the failure to comply
with which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank,
the Borrower shall submit to the Administrative Agent, at the Borrower's sole
cost and expense, at reasonable intervals, a report prepared by the Borrower
providing an update of the status of any environmental, health or safety
compliance, hazard or liability issue identified in any notice or report
required pursuant to subsection 6.3(d), that could, individually or in the
                     -----------------

          -----------------------------                                 
appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action
on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, each other Loan Document
and the Environmental Indemnity, and to exercise such powers and perform such
duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnity, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto and as further provided in the Co-Lender
Agreement described below.

     9.2  The Administrative Agent's Powers  .  Subject to the limitations set
          ---------------------------------                                   
forth in the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity and the Co-Lender
Agreement, the Administrative Agent's powers include, but are not limited to,
the power:  (i) to administer, manage and service the Loans; (ii) to enforce the
Loan Documents and/or the Environmental Indemnity; (iii) to make all decisions
under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity in connection with the
day-to-day administration of the Loans, any inspections required by the Loan
Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, and other routine administration and
servicing matters; (iv) to collect and receive from the Borrower or any third
persons all payments of amounts due under the terms of the Loan Documents or the
Environmental Indemnity and to distribute the amounts thereof to the Banks; (v)
to collect and distribute or disburse all other amounts due under the Loan
Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, (vi) to grant or withhold consents,
approvals or waivers, and to make any other determinations in connection with
the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, and (vii) to exercise all
such powers as are incidental to any of the foregoing matters.  The
Administrative Agent shall furnish to Banks copies of material documents,
including confidential ones, received from the Borrower regarding the Loans, the
Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity, the Collateral, any proposed new
Collateral  and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The
Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the
authenticity, validity, accuracy or completeness of the information provided.

     9.3  Limitation on the Administrative Agent's Duties  .  Notwithstanding
          -----------------------------------------------                    
any contrary provision of any Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnity, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or the
Co-Lender Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any fiduciary
relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, the Environmental Indemnity or the Co-Lender Agreement against the
Administrative Agent.

     9.4  Acknowledgment of the Co-Lender Agreement  .  The Borrower
          -----------------------------------------                 
acknowledges that the Banks have executed a Co-Lender Agreement to supplement
the Loan Documents with respect to the relationship of the Banks and the
Administrative Agent among themselves in connection with the Loans.  The Co-
Lender Agreement is not a Loan Document.

     9.5  Documentation Agent and Co-Agents  .  None of the Banks identified on
          ---------------------------------                                    
the face page or the signature pages of this Agreement as a "Documentation
Agent" or a "Co-Agent" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents other
than those applicable to all Banks as such.

     9.6  Successor Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent and Co-Agents  .
          -----------------------------------------------------------------    
The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or any Co-Agent may, and at
the request of the Majority Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, upon thirty (30) days'
notice to the Banks.  If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement,
the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative
agent.  If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective
date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Banks, a successor administrative agent
from among the Banks.  Any successor administrative agent shall be entitled to
any fee payable by the Borrower to BofA, in its capacity as Administrative
Agent, from and after the date on which such successor administrative agent is
appointed.  If the Documentation Agent or a Co-Agent resigns under this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall elect either (a) to assume the rights
and obligations, if any, of such Documentation Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable,
and thereupon all references to such Documentation Agent or Co-Agent, as
applicable, shall be deemed references to the Administrative Agent, or (b) to
appoint a successor Documentation Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, from among
the Banks.  Upon its acceptance of the appointment as successor administrative
agent, documentation agent or co-agent hereunder, as the case may be, such
successor shall succeed to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, the
term "Administrative Agent," "Documentation Agent" or "Co-Agent", as the case
may be, shall mean such successor, and the appointment, powers and duties of
such retiring Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Co-Agent, as the case
may be, shall terminate.  After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents or the
Environmental Indemnity regarding payment of costs and expenses and
indemnification of the Administrative Agent shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days
following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become
effective, and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a
successor administrative agent in the manner set forth above.  Upon replacement
of the Administrative Agent as provided in this Agreement, the former
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the new Administrative Agent an
assignment of all beneficial interest in any Deed of Trust and any other
Collateral Documents (if before acquisition of title to the Collateral
encumbered thereby), or a quitclaim deed to and assignment of any such property
(if after acquisition of title to the Collateral encumbered thereby) and copies
of any books, records and documents related to the Loans and the Collateral to
which the Banks are entitled and which is then in the former Administrative
Agent's possession.

such Indemnified Persons, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such
a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or

Properties. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents may not be assigned by Borrower or assumed by any third party. The
receipt of loan payments, the cashing of such payment checks, or such similar
acts by Lender shall not constitute a waiver of this prohibition. None of the
Properties, nor any direct or indirect interest therein, nor in Borrower, may be
transferred, except that, as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, there shall be a one-time right to transfer 100% of the
beneficial interest in Borrower (the "REIT Transfer") to a REIT (the "REIT
Transferee"), provided that and immediately subsequent to such transfer, the
REIT Transferee shall have a book value net worth of no less than
$150,000,000.00 or a market value equity of no less than $150,000,000.00 as
reasonably determined by Lender based on asset values established by third-party
MAI appraisals of the Properties acceptable to Lender in its reasonable
discretion less all existing liabilities and debts of the REIT Transferee, and
Guarantor shall reaffirm (and shall not be released from) its guarantor
obligations and liabilities under any guaranty or indemnity agreement executed
by Guarantor in connection with the Loan and the REIT Transferee executes new
guaranty and indemnity agreements substantially in the form of the Other Related
Documents. In addition, the following conditions to the REIT Transfer must be
satisfied: (a) Guarantor owns at least 51% of the economic interest in the REIT
Transferee at the time of the REIT Transfer and the REIT Transferee is managed
and controlled directly or indirectly by Guarantor and shall continue to be so
owned, managed and controlled, (b) Guarantor expressly covenants in writing that
so long as any part of the Loan remains outstanding it shall continue to own at
least 51% of the economic interest in the REIT Transferee and shall continue to
manage and directly or indirectly control the REIT Transferee, (c) at the time
of the REIT Transfer, the Loan shall have a ratio of (i) aggregate NOI from the
Properties for the prior twelve (12) month period (adjusted by Lender to the
extent Lender reasonably determines that such aggregate NOI will not continue
for the next twelve (12) months) to (ii) annual debt service on the Loan, of no
less than 1.65:1.00 and Lender reasonably believes that the loan-to-value ratio
of the Loan is no higher than 72.5%, and (d) the Rating Agencies are provided
with an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies (or to Lender if
the Loan has not been securitized) providing that as a result of such transfer,
Borrower remains a single-purpose, bankruptcy remote entity. Borrower shall also
deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions as required by the
Rating Agencies or the Lender, including, but not limited to, a
non-consolidation opinion acceptable to the Rating Agencies and Lender. In
addition to a $100,000 (the "Base Review Fee") non-refundable processing fee for
the REIT Transfer and for any transfer requiring Lender's consent or Rating
Confirmation, Borrower shall pay (in addition to the Base Review Fee, where
applicable) the fees and expenses relating to the review and processing of all
transfers (other than incidental share transfers in Guarantor), including, but
not limited to, the reasonable costs of Lender's 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
outside legal counsel and Rating Agency fees, cost and expenses (including,
without limitation,  legal expenses).  Whether or not the proposed transfer is
approved, Lender  will  retain the Base Review Fee and  Borrower shall remain
liable for all other fees and expenses. Following such a permitted assumption of
the Loan, Borrower or the approved assignee  shall have no further right to
assign the Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shareholder interests in Guarantor
shall be permitted unless such transfer causes a "Change of Control" in which
case, prior to Securitization, Lender's prior written consent shall be required
(which may include consideration of the impact such transfer will have on the
Rating Agencies review, analysis and concerns in connection with a
Securitization) and, after the Securitization, Lender shall require a Rating
Confirmation and it shall be a further pre-condition to the transfer that causes
a Change in Control that Prudential (so long as Prudential holds a majority of
the face value of the securities issued in connection with the Securitization)
provides its prior written consent. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Prudential's decision to approve or disapprove of any transfer shall be in
Prudential's sole and absolute discretion. For purposes of this Section 2.11, a
                                                                ------------
"Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur in the event that any one or more
of the following events shall occur: (a) more than 45% of the legal or
beneficial voting shareholder interests in Guarantor are acquired in one
transfer or over time, in related transfers to or at the direction of one or
more affiliated Persons or their designees, (b) during any consecutive eighteen
(18) month period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted
the board of directors of Guarantor (together with any new directors whose
election to such board of directors or whose nomination for election was made or
approved by a vote of the majority of the directors then still in office who
were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the board of directors of Guarantor then in office, or
(c) the stockholders of Guarantor approve a merger or consolidation (unless
Guarantor is the surviving entity) or liquidation, dissolution or the sale of
substantially all of Guarantor's assets.


The failure to obtain Lender's prior written consent to any transfer where
Lender's prior written consent is required hereunder shall give Lender the
right, at Lender's sole option, to declare an Event of Default, to accelerate
the Loan and to declare the Loan immediately due and payable.


         2.12 Substitution of Properties. From and after the date twelve (12)
months after the Closing Date, Borrower from time to time (not to exceed six (6)
occasions) may offer to Lender as collateral for the Loan (a "Substitution") one
or more substitute properties (each, a "Substitute Property" and, collectively,
"Substitute Properties"; each Substitute Property to be considered a Property
for all purposes of this Agreement) as replacements for Properties ("Replaced
Properties"), subject to there then being no Default or Event of Default
(excepting non-monetary defaults relating solely to the Replaced Property,
including, but not limited to, a breach of one or more representations or
warranties, but not excepting any default relating to financial statements or
their delivery or representations or warranties in respect thereof) and subject
further to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth below with respect
to each Substitution and to Borrower making the representations and warranties
in Section 5.1 hereof as to each Substitute Property and to Borrower satisfying
the closing conditions of Section 3.1 hereof as to each Substitute Property. Any
proposed Substitution shall be submitted by Borrower to Lender in writing,
together with copies of all reports and other due diligence materials necessary
to enable 

                                  9
<PAGE>
 
Lender to ascertain compliance with the conditions below, at least
ninety (90) days prior to the proposed date of Substitution. No Substitute
Property may qualify as a Replaced Property and, after giving effect to the
Substitution, no Property may share its tax parcel with any property not secured
by the applicable Mortgage. No Property may be substituted if it includes
property which is needed to comply with a tenant's expansion right from an
adjoining Property onto such Property unless all of the Properties related to
the tenant's expansion right are contemporaneously substituted.


                  (a) For each Substitution, the Substitute Property or
Substitute Properties must have an aggregate NOI of not less than the greater of
(i) the aggregate NOI of the Replaced Property or Properties as of the Closing
Date as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and (ii) the aggregate NOI of
the Replaced Property or Replaced Properties for the immediately preceding 12
month period;


                  (b) For each Substitution, the Substitute Property or
Substitute Properties must have an aggregate FMV of not less than the greater of
(i) the FMV of the Replaced Property or Replaced Properties as of the Closing
Date as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and (ii) the FMV of the
Replaced Property or Replaced Properties immediately prior to the Substitution;


                  (c) As evidenced by estoppel certificates reasonably
acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies, all tenants in each Substitute
Property that lease more than 20,000 s.f. (or whose rent constitute greater than
thirty percent (30%) of the Gross Income for the Substitute Property) must be
occupying their space, open for business and paying rent (after any free rent,
credit or rent abatement periods) and not in arrears more than 30 days, and all
free rent or rental grace periods shall have expired, and the tenants shall not
be in bankruptcy (provided, however, the impact of any tenant not qualifying
under this subparagraph (c) would be the disqualification of the income
associated with that tenant for purposes of calculating NOI, or establishing FMV
for the affected Substitute Property, not the elimination of the property as a
potential Substitute Property);


                  (d) With respect to each Substitute Property, leases affecting
at least 90% of the net rentable area must have average remaining terms of five
(5) years or more, as of the date of Substitution;


                  (e) Borrower must hold fee title to the Substitute Properties
and the Substitute Properties must be free of all encumbrances, easements and
other title exceptions (except those expressly permitted by Lender in its
reasonable discretion);


                  (f) Borrower must continue to be a bankruptcy-remote single
purpose entity and, immediately prior to each such Substitution, Borrower shall
deliver bankruptcy (including, but not necessarily limited to,
non-consolidation) and other legal opinions as reasonably required by Lender;


                  (g) Borrower must deliver an environmental report for each
Substitute Property in form, findings and substance acceptable to Lender in its
reasonable discretion and the Rating Agencies;

                                        10
<PAGE>
 
                  (h) Borrower must (i) deliver to Lender and the Rating
Agencies an engineering report (including, but not limited to, analysis of
seismic risk for any Substitute Property situated in a seismic zone, and which
analysis must show that the Substitute Property does not have a probable maximum
loss percentage that exceeds the probable maximum loss percentage of the
Replaced Property and in no event shall such Substitute Property have a probable
maximum loss of more than 15%) in form, findings and substance acceptable to
Lender and the Rating Agencies in their reasonable discretion, and (ii) deposit
125% of estimated deferred maintenance cost (if any) into a reserve account with
Lender where the estimated cost of such deferred maintenance exceeds $100,000
per Substitute Property;


                  (i) Each Substitute Property must comply with all title, land
use, legal, environmental and insurance requirements provided in the Loan
Documents, and Lender must receive title insurance, surveys, casualty insurance,
and other due diligence items, all acceptable to Lender in its reasonable
discretion; and with respect to the remaining Properties encumbered by the
applicable Mortgage, Borrower shall provide Lender with title insurance
endorsements reasonably acceptable to Lender to the effect that such release
will not impair the priority of such Mortgage on the remaining Properties
encumbered by the Mortgage;


                  (j) After giving effect to the Substitution, not more than
sixty (60%) percent of the rentable square footage of the Property Pool would be
located in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange Counties in
California;


                  (k) The Rating Agencies must have confirmed in writing that
such Substitution would not result in a downgrade, qualification, or withdrawal
of the ratings of the securities issued pursuant to any Securitization. Except
as provided in Subsection 2.12 (m) and Section 2.15 below, however, Rating
Agency confirmation shall not be so required if all of the following conditions
are satisfied:


                      (i)   The Replaced Property's Allocated Loan Amount is
not among that of the top ten (10) Properties ranked by Allocated Loan Amount
as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto;


                      (ii)  The Allocated Loan Amount of the Replaced Property
is less than five percent (5%) of the then-current principal amount of the
Loan immediately preceding the proposed Substitution; and


                      (iii) After giving effect to the proposed Substitution,
the aggregate Allocated Loan Amount for all Substitute Properties substituted
since the Closing Date is less than 15% of the original principal amount of
the Loan for all Properties as of the Closing Date.


If the Substitution is to occur prior to the Securitization, the Substitution is
subject to Lender's prior written consent. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Lender's decision to approve or disapprove of any Substitution shall be in
Lender's reasonable discretion, which may include consideration of the impact
such Substitution will have on the Rating Agencies review, analysis and concerns
in connection with a Securitization.


                  (l) The Substitute Property must be income producing and
developed property and similar in quality, nature and property type to the
Replaced Property ("Like for 

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
Like")  (except for the  Property at 224 South  Michigan  Avenue,  Chicago,
Illinois  and the  Properties  known as Home Depot,  Pak N' Save and Kmart,  all
located in Emeryville,  California (identified as Properties numbered 67, 69, 70
and 71,  respectively,  on  Exhibit A  attached  hereto)  for  which  Substitute
Properties may be either industrial, office (except office Properties may not be
substituted for retail  Properties),  research & development or grocery anchored
retail properties);


                  (m) Notwithstanding the "Like for Like" provisions of
Subsection 2.12 (l), above, up to 30% of the Allocated Loan Amounts of the
Ground Leased Properties and the "credit tenant properties" (i.e., those
Properties substantially leased to a tenant whose credit is rated BBB- or better
by one of the Rating Agencies) may be replaced by other Substitute Properties,
provided in all such Substitutions (i.e., notwithstanding any provision in the
Loan Documents to the contrary), Rating Confirmation is obtained.


                  (n) Borrower shall deliver certain other closing documents as
may be described in the applicable private placement memorandum or other
disclosure documents and shall execute required Loan Documents (including, but
not limited to, such mortgages, deeds of trust, and UCC-1 financing statements
as may be necessary to encumber the Substitute Properties in a manner consistent
with the other Properties in the Property Pool) and revisions thereto and to
deliver other documents, opinions and certificates reasonably required by
Lender;


                  (o) At the time of each Substitution request, Borrower shall
pay a non-refundable Substitution servicing fee of $15,000 per building per
Substitute Property;


                  (p) Upon giving effect to the Substitution, the aggregate
Allocated Loan Amount of the Replaced Properties as of the Closing Date shall
not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the principal amount of the Loan as of the
Closing Date; and


                  (q) After giving effect to the Substitution, and unless Rating
Confirmation is otherwise obtained, there shall remain in the Property Pool a
minimum total of at least ninety-five (95) Properties less the number of
Properties which were released pursuant to a Partial Defeasance in accordance
with Section 1.03 of the Note.


                  (r) Borrower shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies
an opinion of counsel for Borrower or Lender, at Borrower's expense, in form and
substance and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the
Rating Agencies, that the Substitution will not cause the Trust (as defined in
the Note) to (i) fail to qualify as a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
(a "REMIC"), within the meaning of Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended from time to time or any successor statute (the "Code"), or
(ii) be subject to any "prohibited transaction" tax as defined in Section 860F
of the Code.


Borrower shall pay all fees, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to,
legal fees, incurred by Lender and the Rating Agencies, in connection with the
matters set forth in this Section 2.12.
                          ------------

For purposes of this Section 2.12, the definition of NOI as set forth in Section
                                                                         -------
1.1 above, shall be used, except that (x) the applicable twelve (12) month
- ---
period referred to in said definition shall be the twelve (12) month period
prior to the Substitution and (y) stabilized occupancy, as 

                                          12
<PAGE>
 
reasonably determined by Lender, shall be assumed for the purposes of 
calculating operating expenses.


With respect to any Substitution, no more than two (2) Replaced Properties may
be substituted for any one (1) Substitute Property unless Rating Confirmation is
obtained. In the event that the Substitution involves one (1) Replaced Property
for one (1) Substitute Property, the Substitute Property shall be assigned the
Allocated Loan Amount of the Replaced Property. In the event that the
Substitution involves more Replaced Properties than Substitute Properties, or
more Substitute Properties than Replaced Properties, than the total Allocated
Loan Amounts of the Replaced Properties shall be reallocated proportionately
among the Substitute Properties based on the FMV of the Substitute Properties at
the time of Substitution and as adjusted by Lender in its reasonable discretion
based on DSCR of the Substitute Properties.


Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.12, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 to
the contrary, in determining whether the conditions for a Substitution or a
Release, as applicable, have been satisfied under this Section 2.12 (or under
Section 3.1 to the extent incorporated herein), Section 2.15, or under Section
2.16, if at the time the Substitution or Release occurs the Loan is held by a
REMIC or by an entity that qualifies for treatment as a "grantor trust" under
the Code, all conditions contained herein (or under Section 3.1 to the extent
incorporated herein), Section 2.15 or under Section 2.16, which provide for the
exercise of discretion by the Lender (i.e., by requiring that documents or other
items be "reasonably acceptable to the Lender" or "acceptable to the Lender in
its reasonable discretion" or "acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion", or
through use of words with similar import) shall be construed as permitting the
Lender to reject a document or other item only if such document or other item
fails to satisfy generally-applicable underwriting standards for securitized
commercial mortgage loans, determined at the time such Substitution or Release
occurs.


         2.13 Build to Suit Properties. With respect to each of the Gillette
build-to-suit property in Romeoville, Illinois (identified as Property #54 on
Exhibit A attached hereto and herein the "Gillette Property") and the GATX
property in Stockton, California (identified as Property #52 on Exhibit A
attached hereto and herein the "GATX-Stockton Property"), Borrower shall provide
to Lender on the Closing Date, irrevocable, unconditional letters of credit in
the amount of $16,400,000 for the Gillette Property (the "Gillette Letter of
Credit") and $13,600,000 for the GATX-Stockton Property (the "GATX-Stockton
Letter of Credit" and together with the Gillette Letter of Credit, the
"Construction Letters of Credit"), which Construction Letters of Credit must be
from an issuer, must have an account party and expiry date (which must provide
that, prior to its expiration from time to time, it shall be automatically
extended for another term if the Return Conditions have not yet been satisfied
at such time), and in all other respects must be in form and substance,
acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies. Without limiting the foregoing,
the issuer of the Construction Letters of Credit as well as the Leasing Letters
of Credit (as defined below) must be and continue to be from issuers rated at
least "A" by DCR and at least "Aa2" by Moody's, or, if not rated by DCR and
Moody's, correspondingly by at least two (2) Rating Agencies, or otherwise
acceptable to DCR and Moody's. If there is no Event of Default, and provided the
following conditions (including there being no Event of Default, the "Return
Conditions") are satisfied prior to December 31, 1999 or, with respect to the
Gillette Letter of Credit, prior to March 31, 2000 (the "Return Dates") in the
event the tenant under the Gillette Property lease exercises its option to have
the additional improvements constructed pursuant to 

                                    13
<PAGE>
 
Section 18 of the lease on the Gillette Property, the applicable
Construction Letter of Credit shall be returned upon (a) completion of
construction related to such respective property, as evidenced by a certificate
of occupancy acceptable to Lender, (b) acceptance and occupancy of the
respective property by the tenants thereof, (c) commencement of rent payments by
the tenants (after the expiration of any free rent, credit or grace period), (d)
receipt of an estoppel certificate and, if requested by Lender, a subordination,
non-disturbance agreement, from the tenants thereof in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Lender, (e) Lender obtaining a valid first mortgage
lien on the respective property which would be cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized with the other Properties in the Property Pool, (f) title
to the respective property shall be vested in Borrower, (g) title insurance
endorsements and other reasonable evidence that all streets and roads reasonably
necessary for access to and full use, occupancy and operation of the respective
property have been completed, have been dedicated and accepted by the
appropriate municipal authority and are open and available, and (h) delivery to
Lender of acceptable title insurance (which shall provide, among other things,
affirmative coverage as to mechanics' liens and that such property does not
share its tax parcel with any other property), survey, property insurance, legal
opinions and such other certificates, opinions and documents reasonably
requested by Lender, including, but not limited to, third party engineering,
environmental and MAI appraisals (if not previously delivered), and payment to
Lender and the Rating Agencies of all fees, costs and expenses (including, but
not limited to, legal fees and expenses) incurred by Lender and the Rating
Agencies in respect of the matters set forth in this Section. In the event the
Return Conditions are not or will not be satisfied as to either or both of the
respective properties on or prior to the respective Return Date, Borrower shall
have the option to make a Substitution with respect to the applicable property
in accordance with Section 2.12 above to the same extent as if the applicable
property were in the Property Pool, and such Substitution shall reduce the
number of remaining Substitutions available to Borrower accordingly. A
Substitution exercised pursuant to this Section shall require Rating
Confirmation. Borrower must exercise such option by providing written notice to
Lender at least one-hundred (100) days prior to the applicable Return Date. If
Borrower fails to timely exercise its Substitution option or fails to fully
satisfy all of the requirements for a Substitution in accordance with Section
2.12 above after exercising its option at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
the applicable Return Date, Borrower shall make a partial prepayment of the Loan
in an amount equal to: (i) 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable
Properties, plus (ii) a Yield Maintenance Charge (as defined in the Note). If
Borrower fails to make such prepayment prior to the applicable Return Date,
Lender shall be entitled to draw on the respective Construction Letter of Credit
and apply the proceeds thereof to the Loan and to the Yield Maintenance Charge.
Borrower agrees that in the event the amount of a Construction Letter of Credit
is insufficient to satisfy the amount due in connection with such partial
prepayment as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Lender additional funds to satisfy such shortfall. If the
letters of credit described in Sections 2.13 and 2.14 are not extended, Lender
may draw upon them to avoid their expiration. Similarly, the letters of credit
described in Sections 2.13 and 2.14 may be drawn upon in the event that the
requisite issuer ratings as hereinabove set forth are not maintained and the
letters of credit described in Sections 2.13 and 2.14 are not promptly replaced
after written notice from Lender (with replacements acceptable to Lender and the
Rating Agencies).

         2.14 Letters of Credit - Leasing . With respect to each of the Union
City, California property located at 2900 Faber Street (identified as Property
#5 on Exhibit A attached hereto and herein the "Union City Property") and the
Tustin, California property (identified as Property #44 

                                      14
<PAGE>
 
on Exhibit A attached hereto and herein the "Tustin Property"), Borrower
shall provide to Lender on the Closing Date, irrevocable, unconditional letters
of credit in the amount of $2,500,000 for the Union City Property (the "Union
City Letter of Credit") and $1,100,000 for the Tustin Property (the "Tustin
Letter of Credit" and together with the Union City Letter of Credit, the
"Leasing Letters of Credit"), which Leasing Letters of Credit must be from an
issuer, must have an account party and expiry date, and in all other respects
must be in form and substance, acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
Each Leasing Letter of Credit must have a term of no less than twelve (12)
months, and must provide that prior to its expiration it shall be automatically
extended for one or more terms of another twelve (12) months each if the Leasing
Return Conditions have not yet been satisfied at such time. If there is no Event
of Default, and provided the following conditions (including there being no
Event of Default, the "Leasing Return Conditions") are satisfied prior to March
1, 2000 or, if Borrower, at Lender's option, is required to extend the terms of
either or both Leasing Letters of Credit for an additional term of twelve (12)
months, prior to March 1, 2001 (as applicable, the "Leasing Return Dates"),
provided that all of the Leasing Return Conditions shall have been satisfied
prior to such extended date, the applicable Leasing Letter of Credit shall be
returned upon (a) the leasing to unaffiliated third parties of no less than
ninety percent (90%) of the space at the respective Property, with a lease term
of no less than five (5) years (taking into account termination options, if
any), and at rents no less than the then prevailing market rental rate for the
area in which the Property is situated, (b) acceptance and occupancy of the
respective Property by the tenants thereof, (c) commencement of rent payments by
the tenants (after the expiration of any free rent, credit or grace period), (d)
receipt of an estoppel certificate from the tenants thereof in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies, and (e)
payment to Lender and the Rating Agencies of all fees, costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) incurred by Lender and
the Rating Agencies in respect of the matters set forth in this Section. In the
event the Leasing Return Conditions are not or will not be satisfied as to
either or both of the respective Properties on or prior to the Leasing Return
Date, Borrower shall have the option to make a Substitution with respect to the
applicable property subject to and in accordance with Section 2.12 above and
such Substitution shall reduce the number of remaining Substitutions available
to Borrower accordingly. Borrower must exercise such option by providing written
notice to Lender at least one-hundred (100) days prior to the applicable Leasing
Return Date. If Borrower fails to exercise its Substitution option or fails to
fully satisfy all of the requirements for a Substitution in accordance with
Section 2.12 above after exercising its option at least ten (10) Business Days
prior to the applicable Leasing Return Date, Borrower shall make a partial
prepayment of the Loan in an amount equal to: (i) 125% of the Allocated Loan
Amount for the applicable Properties, plus (ii) a Yield Maintenance Charge (as
defined in the Note). If Borrower fails to make such prepayment prior to the
applicable Leasing Return Date, Lender shall be entitled to draw on the
respective Leasing Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds thereof to the Loan
and to the Yield Maintenance Charge. Borrower agrees that in the event the
amount of a Leasing Letter of Credit is insufficient to satisfy the amount due
in connection with such partial prepayment as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii)
above, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender additional funds to satisfy such
shortfall.

         2.15     Expansion Rights.

                  (a) If any tenant under a Lease exercises its option as
presently set forth in its lease to lease additional land and/or improvements
(the "Expansion Land" and the portion of 

                                        15
<PAGE>
 
each of such Properties excluding the Expansion Land is hereinafter the
"Remaining Property") presently constituting a portion of any of those
Properties designated on Exhibit A hereto as IL1970104 (Gillette/IL), CA0712430
(Pepsi/Ontario, CA), CA0010612 (Office Depot/Fremont, CA) and IL1970335
(GATX/IL) (collectively, the "Expansion Properties") and to have Borrower
construct thereon additional improvements (such improvements being hereinafter
referred to as the "Expansion Improvements", and the Expansion Land and the
Expansion Improvements being hereinafter referred to as the "Expansion
Premises"), Borrower shall have the right, exercised by written notice to
Lender, to have the Expansion Premises considered Substitute Properties and to
have Properties designated by Borrower released from the Property Pool as if
such Properties were Replaced Properties (subject to the limitations, exceptions
and conditions set forth below in this Section 2.15(a) and Section 2.12 above)
provided (i) no Event of Default exists as of the date of the Substitution, (ii)
the Expansion Improvements have been completed as evidenced by a certificate of
occupancy reasonably acceptable to Lender, (iii) the Expansion Improvements have
been accepted and occupied by the tenant thereof, (iv) commencement of rent
payments by the tenant (after the expiration of any free rent, credit or grace
period) has occurred, (v) Lender has received an estoppel certificate from the
tenant thereof in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (vi) title
to the Expansion Improvements shall be vested in Borrower, (vii) Borrower
delivers to Lender title insurance endorsements or other evidence reasonably
acceptable to Lender that all mechanics and materialmen have been paid in
connection with the construction and that no mechanics' liens exist with respect
to the Expansion Premises and (viii) Lender shall have received a Rating
Confirmation in respect of the Substitution involving the Expansion Premises.
Borrower shall have the right to exercise the option granted in this Section
with respect to the Expansion Premises of one or more tenants in a single
Substitution; provided, however, that all Substitutions under this Section shall
reduce the number of remaining Substitutions available to Borrower accordingly.
The terms and conditions for Substitution set forth in Section 2.12 hereof shall
apply with respect to Substitutions applicable to Expansion Premises.
Determination of NOI and FMV, and the allocation thereof as between the
Expansion Premises and the balance of the Property of which the Expansion
Premises are a part, shall be made by Lender exercising reasonable discretion.

                  (b) If any tenant with the option to lease Expansion Land
waives its option, or the option is otherwise terminated or expires, which
waiver, termination or expiration is evidenced by a tenant estoppel reasonably
acceptable to Lender, Borrower shall have the right, exercised by written notice
to Lender, to have the Expansion Land considered a potential Replaced Property
and to have such Expansion Land designated by Borrower released from the
Property Pool as if such Expansion Land was a Replaced Property (subject to the
limitations, exceptions and conditions set forth below in this Section 2.15(b),
2.15(c) below and Section 2.12 above) provided (i) no Event of Default exists as
of the date of the Substitution, (ii) Lender shall have received a Rating
Confirmation in respect of the Substitution involving the Expansion Land, and
(iii) Section 2.12(l) shall not be applicable; however, the Substitute
Properties must be income producing industrial, office/research and development
or grocery anchored retail properties. Borrower shall have the right to exercise
the option granted in this Section with respect to the Expansion Land of one or
more tenants in a single Substitution; provided, however, that all Substitutions
under this Section shall reduce the number of remaining Substitutions available
to Borrower accordingly. The terms and conditions for Substitution set forth in
Section 2.12 hereof shall apply with respect to Substitutions applicable to
Expansion Land. Determination of NOI, FMV and the Allocated Loan Amount, and the
allocation thereof 

                                   16
<PAGE>
 
as between the Expansion Land and the balance of the Property of which the 
Expansion Land is a part, shall be made by Lender exercising reasonable 
discretion.


                  (c) The Remaining Property and/or Borrower shall be in
compliance with the following as an additional condition precedent to
Substitutions applicable to Expansion Land:


                      (i)    The Remaining Property shall comply with all 
applicable zoning, land use and similar laws, rules, regulations and ordinances 
of all Governmental Authorities having or claiming jurisdiction thereover, and 
all other applicable laws, with each such determination assuming the separate 
ownership and operation of the Remaining Property;

                      (ii)   Borrower must provide evidence reasonably
acceptable to Lender that (1) all zoning and subdivision approvals of
Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction as necessary to create legally
identifiable tracts of real property, and separate tax and zoning lots for all
real property taxes, have been granted in respect of the Remaining Property; and
(2) from and after the Substitution of the Replaced Property, no acts relating
to development, further subdivision, construction or use on the Replaced
Property can affect in any respect the compliance of the Remaining Property with
all Governmental Rules;

                      (iii)  Borrower must provide evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that, following any such Substitution, the Remaining
Property shall have available to it all necessary utility and other services for
the development, use, occupancy and operation of the Remaining Property, and
adequate, free, unimpeded and unencumbered access for pedestrian and vehicular
ingress and egress onto all adjacent public roads;

                      (iv)   Borrower must provide Lender with an updated
survey of the Remaining Property, reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
prepared by a registered land surveyor for the state in which the Remaining
Property is located, and certified to the Lender, its successors and assigns,
and the title insurer in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, containing metes

                  (r) Leases. Borrower shall have provided Lender with copies of

agreements or restrictions;


                      (vi)   that the Mortgages are in form sufficient to

Property, has been involved in any action or proceeding (criminal or civil)
which materially and adversely affects the Properties or Borrower's (or
Guarantor's, as applicable) ability to repay the Loan (in each case as
determined by Lender), or any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar
proceeding; and (iv) from and after the date of the most recent financial
statements for such person or entity delivered to Lender, no material adverse
change has occurred with respect to Borrower, Guarantor or any other person
(provided, however, if the Guarantor incurs debt unrelated to the Properties, no

                                 ARTICLE IV

                                  INSURANCE


         4.1 Insurance. Borrower shall, at Borrower's expense, maintain in force
and effect on each Property in the Property Pool at all times the following
insurance:


             (a) Insurance against loss or damage to each Property by fire,
windstorm, tornado and hail and against loss and damage by such other, further
and additional risks as may be now or hereafter embraced by an "all-risk" or
"special form" form of insurance policy. The amount of such insurance shall be
not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost (insurable
value) of the Improvements (as established by an MAI appraisal) situated on such
Property, without reduction for depreciation, provided, however, that such
insurance may be carried under blanket insurance policies approved by Lender
covering the Properties and other properties with liability limits of less than
the aggregate replacement cost of all Improvements as long as Lender has
reasonably determined that the amount of such insurance is adequate under the
circumstances. Full replacement cost, as used herein, means, with respect to
each of the Improvements, the cost of replacing such Improvements without regard
to deduction for depreciation, exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations
and footings below the lowest basement floor. Borrower shall also maintain
insurance against loss or damage to such furniture, furnishings, fixtures,
equipment and other items (whether personalty or fixtures) included in such
Property and owned by Borrower from time to time, to the extent applicable, in
the amount of the cost of replacing the same. The maximum deductible for any
Property covered by such policy shall be $100,000.00, or as consented to by
Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.


             (b) Commercial General Liability Insurance against claims for
personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on, in or
about each of the Properties in amounts not less than $1,000,000.00 per
occurrence and $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate plus umbrella coverage in an
amount not less than $100,000,000.00. During any construction on the respective
Property, Borrower's general contractor for such construction shall also provide
the insurance, on a primary basis only, as required in this Subsection (b).
Lender hereby retains the right to periodically review the amount of said
liability insurance being maintained by Borrower and to require an increase in
the amount of said liability insurance should Lender deem an increase to be
reasonably prudent under then existing circumstances.


             (c) Boiler and machinery insurance is required if steam
boilers or other pressure-fired vessels are in operation at the Property.
Minimum liability coverage per accident must equal the replacement cost
(insurable value) of the Improvements housing such boiler or pressure-fired
machinery.

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
             (d) If the Improvements or any part thereof are situated in an
area now or subsequently designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
("FEMA") as a special flood hazard area (Zone A or Zone V), flood insurance in
an amount equal to the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to
compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement basis (or the unpaid balance
of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property if replacement cost coverage is
not available for the type of building insured). The flood insurance requirement
will be waived if: (A) although a portion of the land may be in the Special
Flood Hazard Area, no portion of the Improvements situated on such land are in
the Special Flood Hazard Area; or (B) Lender receives a letter from FEMA stating
that its maps have been amended so that the Property is no longer in a Special
Flood Hazard Area. In the event there occurs, from time to time, any loss on any
property which is not part of the Property Pool and which loss reduces the
annual aggregate coverage available for claim payments under Borrower's blanket
insurance policies, Borrower agrees that it shall repurchase, from time to time,
the amount of insurance necessary to provide the required coverages under this
Article IV within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such loss.


             (e) During the period of any construction, renovation or
alteration of the Improvements which exceeds the lesser of 10% of the principal
amount of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property or $500,000.00, at
Lender's request, a completed value, "All Risk" Builder's Risk form, or "Course
of Construction" insurance policy in non-reporting form, in an amount approved
by Lender, may be required. During the period of any construction of any
addition to the existing Improvements, a completed value, "All Risk" Builder's
Risk form or "Course of Construction" insurance policy in non-reporting form, in
an amount approved by Lender, shall be required. These requirements may be met
by an endorsement to the policy described in Section 4.1(a). In the event there
occurs, from time to time, any loss on any property which is not part of the
Property Pool and which loss reduces the annual aggregate coverage available for
claim payments under Borrower's blanket insurance policies, Borrower agrees that
it shall repurchase, from time to time, the amount of insurance necessary to
provide the required coverages under this Article IV within thirty (30) days
after the occurrence of such loss.


             (f) When required by any applicable Governmental Authority or
Governmental Rule, Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance
covering all persons subject to the workers' compensation laws of the state in
which the applicable Property is located.


             (g) Rent loss insurance in amounts sufficient to compensate
Borrower for all income losses incurred from insured perils during a period of
not less than eighteen (18) months. The amount of coverage shall be adjusted
annually to reflect any increase in the current rent levels payable during the
succeeding twelve-(12) month period. In addition, Borrower shall maintain rent
loss insurance of not less than $10,000,000, with no annual aggregate, to
compensate Borrower for all income loss incurred from earthquake loss (whether
or not Borrower maintains earthquake insurance) during a period of not less than
eighteen (18) months.


             (h) Sinkhole, Mine Subsidence and/or Earthquake insurance
shall be required in the amount of $50,000,000 for those Properties (including
all other real property owned by Borrower and encumbered by other deeds of trust
or mortgages securing the Loan) located within 

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
California, to the extent that such coverage is available at commercially
reasonable rates. The earthquake insurance policy shall have a deductible of not
more than five percent (5%) or such greater amount as may be commercially
reasonable under the then-existing circumstances. Lender agrees that Borrower
shall not be required to carry earthquake insurance with respect to the Ground
Leased Properties.

             (i) Environmental insurance, which shall not be required as of
the Closing Date but if subsequently required for any of the Properties, must be
from a carrier and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies and must provide protection for preexisting, but undetected,
environmental contamination, as well as for liabilities resulting from
contamination that occurs during the policy term.


             (j) Such other insurance on the Property or on any replacements
or substitutions thereof or additions thereto as may from time to time be
required by Lender against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the
time are commonly insured against in the case of property similarly situated,
due regard being given to the height and type of buildings, their
construction, location, use and occupancy.


                 (1) All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers
fully licensed and authorized to do business in the state within which such
Property is located (other than insurers providing coverage for loss as a result
of earthquake in California) and who have and maintain a rating of (A) at least
"A" if rated by DCR, and if not rated by DCR, then similarly rated by two
nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, and (B) at least "A2" if
rated by Moody's; (ii) contain the complete address of the Property (or a
complete legal description); (iii) be for terms of at least one year; (iv) be
subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts,
content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration
dates; and (v) include EXACTLY the following standard, non-contributory,
mortgagee clause naming:

                 Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, Inc.,

                      its successors and assigns ATIMA

                   c/o Prudential Mortgage Loan Servicing

                               P.O. Box 10387
                         Van Nuys, California 91401,



(A) as an additional insured under all liability (primary and excess liability)
insurance policies, (B) as the first mortgagee on all property insurance
policies, and (C) as the lender's loss payee on all loss of rents or loss of
business income insurance policies.


                  Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance
policies have been obtained as required above and certified copies of such
insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an
authorized agent of the applicable insurance companies evidencing such insurance
satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall renew all such insurance and 

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
deliver to Lender certificates evidencing such renewals at least twenty
(20) days before any such insurance shall expire and deliver originals or
certified copies of the insurance policies within sixty (60) days of the
effective date of such policies. Borrower further agrees that each such
insurance policy: (i) shall provide for at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Lender prior to any policy reduction or cancellation for any reason;
(ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss
shall be payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of such policy
notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result
in forfeiture of such insurance; (iii) shall waive all rights of subrogation
against Lender; and (iv) may be in the form of a blanket policy. The blanket
policy must properly identify and fully protect the applicable Properties as if
a separate policy were issued for 100% of replacement cost at the time of loss
and otherwise meet all of Lender's applicable insurance requirements set forth
in this Article IV. Borrower represents that it has, and covenants that it shall
maintain throughout the term of the Loan, an ordinance or law coverage
endorsement for any Property or Improvements which constitute a legal
non-conforming use under applicable building, zoning or land use laws or
ordinances, which endorsement will contain Coverage A: "Loss Due to Operation of
Law" (with a minimum liability limit equal to Replacement Cost With Agreed Value
Endorsement established at no less than 150% of the Allocated Loan Amount for
such Property), Coverage B: "Demolition Cost" and Coverage C: "Increased Cost of
Construction" coverages. The delivery to Lender of the insurance policies (if
required by Lender) or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall
constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies
relating to such Properties by Borrower to Lender as further security for the
Loan and to be applied or disbursed as provided in the Mortgages. In the event
of foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the
subject Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loan, all right,
title and interest of Borrower in and to all proceeds payable under such
policies then in force concerning the subject Property shall thereupon vest in
the purchaser at such foreclosure, or in Lender or other transferee in the event
of such other transfer of title. Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not
be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any
amount of insurance. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in
force or deliver and furnish to Lender the policies of insurance required by
this Article IV or evidence of their renewal as required herein, Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay all
amounts advanced by Lender therefor, together with interest thereon at the
Default Interest Rate from and after the date advanced by Lender until actually
repaid by Borrower, promptly upon demand by Lender. Any amounts so advanced by
Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by the Mortgages and by
all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Loan. Lender
shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the
insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has
caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to
furnish such insurance. If Borrower shall obtain insurance for the Properties in
addition to that required by Lender, Borrower agrees that it shall name Lender
as an additional insured on such additional insurance and shall provide Lender
with complete copies of all policies evidencing such insurance.

                                    ARTICLE V

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


         5.1 Warranties of Borrower. Borrower, for itself and its successors and
assigns, does hereby represent, warrant and covenant to and with Lender, its
successors and assigns, that:


             (a) Organization and Existence. Borrower is duly organized and
validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and in all other jurisdictions in which any Property is
located or in which Borrower is transacting business. Borrower has the power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform the obligations imposed on it under
the Loan Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents.


             (b) Authorization. Borrower has taken all necessary actions
for the authorization of the borrowing on account of the Loan, and for the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
that those members of Borrower whose approval is required by the terms of
Borrower's organizational documents have duly approved the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized execution and delivery
thereof by the respective signatories. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, no
other consent by any local, state or federal agency is required in connection
with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.


             (c) Valid Execution and Delivery. All of the Loan Documents
requiring execution by Borrower have been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Borrower.


             (d) Enforceability. All of the Loan Documents constitute
valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower and are fully enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with their terms by Lender and its successors,
transferees and assigns, subject only to bankruptcy laws, creditors' rights, and
general principles of equity.


             (e) No Defenses. The Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan
Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Note, the Mortgages
or any of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder,
render such documents unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury.


             (f) Defense of Usury. Borrower knows of no facts that would
support a claim of usury to defeat or avoid its obligation to repay the
principal of, interest on, and other sums or amounts due and payable under, the
Loan Documents.


             (g) No Conflict/Violation of Law. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower will not cause or constitute a
default under or conflict with the organizational documents of Borrower, any
Guarantor or any general partner or managing member of Borrower or any
Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations imposed on
Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower to be in default,
including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under the provisions of any
agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower
is bound.

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
                  (h) Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations. All of
the Improvements and the use of the Properties by Borrower comply with, and
shall remain in compliance with, all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and
private covenants now or hereafter relating to the ownership, construction, use
or operation of the Properties, including all applicable statutes, rules and
regulations pertaining to requirements for equal opportunity,
anti-discrimination, fair housing, environmental protection, zoning (including,
without limitation, parking requirements) and land use, and no notices of
violation or non-compliance have been issued by any Governmental Authority
relating to any of the foregoing that remain outstanding. All of the
Improvements comply with, and shall remain in compliance with, applicable
health, fire and building codes. There is no evidence of any illegal activities
relating to controlled substances on any of the Properties. All certifications,
permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation, certificates of
completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and
operation of the Properties as currently conducted have been obtained and are in
full force and effect. All of the Improvements comply with all material
requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances, and
no Improvements (other than the Improvements located at 210 Fallon Street,
Oakland, California (identified as Property #73 on Exhibit A attached hereto),
the Improvements located at 324 West Blueridge, Orange, California (identified
as Property #42 on Exhibit A attached hereto), the Improvements located at 12865
Ann Street, Santa Fe Springs, California (identified as Property #77 on Exhibit
A attached hereto), the Improvements located at 1200 Edinger Avenue, Tustin,
California (identified as Property #44 on Exhibit A attached hereto), the
Improvements located at 14352 Franklin Avenue, Tustin, California (identified as
Property #45 on Exhibit A attached hereto), the Improvements located at 1311
East Valencia, Tustin, California (identified as Property #64 on Exhibit A
attached hereto), the Improvements located at 1361 Valencia, Tustin, California
(identified as Property #65 on Exhibit A attached hereto), the Improvements
located at 15222 Del Amo, Tustin, California (identified as Property #66 on
Exhibit A attached hereto), the Improvements located at 1100 Edinger St.,
Tustin, California (identified as Property #72 on Exhibit A attached hereto) and
for which Properties Borrower has law and ordinance insurance coverage),
constitute a legal nonconforming use under any of such laws and ordinances.


                  (i) Consents Obtained. All consents, approvals,
authorizations, orders or filings with any court or governmental agency or body,
if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents by Borrower have been obtained or made.


                  (j) No Litigation. There are no pending actions, suits or
proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations against any of the
Properties, Borrower, or Guarantor, an adverse outcome of which would materially
affect Borrower's performance under the Note, the Mortgages, or the other Loan
Documents.


                  (k) Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee
simple title to all of the Land and all Improvements thereon (but subject to the
terms of the leases for the Ground Leased Properties which may limit Borrower's
interest to certain Improvements to a conditional future interest), subject only
to the Permitted Exceptions. Except for the Permitted Exceptions, the possession
of each of the Properties is peaceful and undisturbed and title thereto is not
disputed or questioned to the best of Borrower's knowledge. Further, Borrower
has full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell, convey, assign,
transfer, encumber and mortgage its interest in the Properties under the Loan
Documents. Borrower will preserve its 

                                       29
<PAGE>
 
interest in and title to the Properties and will warrant and defend the
same to Lender against any and all claims whatsoever and will warrant and defend
the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created under the
Loan Documents against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever, subject
to the Permitted Exceptions. The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the
foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to such Property
pursuant to any foreclosure.


                  (l) Permitted Exceptions. The Permitted Exceptions do not and
will not materially and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay in
full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or (2) the use of
the applicable Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation
of the applicable Property as currently being operated or the value of the
applicable Property other than as reflected in the appraisals of the Properties.


                  (m) First Lien. Except with respect to the Gillette Property
and to the GATX-Stockton Property, upon the execution by Borrower and the
recording of the Mortgages, and upon the execution and filing of UCC-1 financing
statements or amendments thereto, Lender will have a valid first lien on each of
the Properties and a valid first security interest in all Collateral, subject to
no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions. No
Property secures any indebtedness or obligation other than as created under or
pursuant to the Loan Documents and for taxes and assessments not yet delinquent.


                  (n) ERISA. Borrower has made and shall continue to make all
required contributions to all employee benefit plans, if any, and Borrower has
no knowledge of any material liability which has been incurred by Borrower which
remains unsatisfied for any taxes or penalties with respect to any employee
benefit plan or any multi-employer plan, and each such plan has been
administered in compliance with its terms and the applicable provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and any
other federal or state law.


                  (o) Contingent Liabilities. Borrower has no known material 
contingent liabilities.


                  (p) No Other Obligations. Borrower has no material financial
obligation under any indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of the
Properties is otherwise bound, other than obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of the operation of such Property and other than obligations under the
Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.


                  (q) Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower (i) has not entered into
the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor and (ii) received fair value in exchange for its
obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by
the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of the Borrower's assets exceed and
will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including, without limitation,
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair
saleable value of Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower's
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
or its debts as 

                                       30
<PAGE>
 
such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower's assets do not and,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not,
constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or
as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe
that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable
on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

                  (r) Investment Company Act. Borrower is not: (i) an
"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a
"holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the
meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii)
subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to
restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.


                  (s) Access/Utilities. Each of the Properties has adequate
rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary
sewer and storm drain facilities. All public utilities necessary to the
continued use and enjoyment of each of the Properties as presently used and
enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Property, and all
such utilities are connected so as to serve such Property without passing over
other property or, if such utilities must cross other property, Borrower holds
easements for such utilities that are insured by the Title Policy insuring the
lien of the Mortgage on the Property. Except for the Gillette Property and the
GATX-Stockton Property, all streets, roads, highways, bridges and waterways
necessary for access to and full use, occupancy, operation and disposition of
the Land and the Improvements have been completed, have been dedicated and
accepted by the appropriate municipal authority and are open and available to
the land and the Improvements without further condition or cost to Borrower.


                  (t) Taxes Paid. Borrower has filed or has caused to be filed
all federal, state, county and municipal tax returns required to have been filed
by Borrower, and has paid, or has caused to be paid, all taxes which have become
due pursuant to such returns or to any notice of assessment received by Borrower
, and Borrower has no knowledge of any basis for additional assessment with
respect to such taxes. Further, each of the Properties is free from delinquent
water charges, sewer rents, taxes and assessments.


                  (u) Single Tax Lot. Except as disclosed in the Title Policies,
each Property consists of a single lot or multiple tax lots; other than the
GATX-Woodridge Property, no portion of said tax lot(s) covers property other
than the applicable Property or a portion of the applicable Property and no
portion of such Property lies in any other tax lot.


                  (v) Special Assessments. To Borrower's knowledge, there are no
pending or, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or
otherwise affecting any of the Properties, nor, to the knowledge of Borrower,
are there any contemplated improvements to any of the Properties that may result
in such special or other assessments.

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
                  (w) Flood Zone. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.1(w), none
of the Improvements are located in a special flood hazard area as defined by the
Federal Insurance Administration.


                  (x) Seismic Exposure. Each Property is either not located in
Zone 3 or Zone 4 of the "Seismic Zone Map of the U.S." or all assumptions and
assessments of the applicable Improvements set forth in the seismic study of
such Improvements submitted to Lender are true and correct in all material
respects and show a probable maximum loss (as a percentage of the current
building replacement cost and based on a 50 year building life expectancy
period) of less than 15%, with the exception of Properties #68, #69, #70 and #71
as identified on Exhibit A attached hereto.


                  (y) Misstatements of Fact. No statement of fact made in the
Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein
not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has
not been disclosed which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee,
might adversely affect the business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Borrower.


                  (z) Condition of Improvements. To the knowledge of the
Borrower, and except as disclosed in the Property Condition Reports or otherwise
disclosed in writing to Lender: none of the Properties has been damaged by fire,
water, wind or other cause of loss which damage has not been fully restored; all
of the Improvements are structurally sound, in good repair and free of defects
in materials and workmanship and have been constructed and installed in
substantial compliance with the plans and specifications relating thereto; and
all major building systems located within the Improvements, including, without
limitation, the heating and air conditioning systems and the electrical and
plumbing systems, are in good working order and condition.


                  (aa) No Insolvency or Judgment. Neither Borrower, any member
of Borrower, nor Guarantor is currently (i) the debtor in any completed or
pending bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (ii) the subject
of any judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in
which any of the Properties are located or in any other court located in the
United States. The proposed Loan will not render Borrower or any member of
Borrower insolvent. As used in this Agreement, the term "insolvent" means that
the sum total of all of an entity's liabilities (whether secured or unsecured,
contingent or fixed, or liquidated or unliquidated) is in excess of the value of
all such entity's non-exempt assets, i.e., all of the assets of the entity that
are available to satisfy claims of creditors.


                  (bb) No Condemnation. No part of any property subject to the
Loan Documents has been taken in condemnation or other like proceeding to an
extent which would impair the value of such Property, the Mortgages or the Loan
or the usefulness of such property for the purposes contemplated by the loan
application relating to the Loan, nor is any proceeding pending, or to
Borrower's knowledge, threatened or contemplated for the partial or total
condemnation or taking of any of the Properties.

                                       32
<PAGE>
 
                (cc) No Labor or Materialmen Claims. All parties furnishing
labor and materials to the Properties have been paid in full with respect to all
amounts currently due and payable and, except for such liens or claims insured
against by the policies of title insurance to be issued in connection with the
Loan, there are no mechanics', laborers' or materialmen's liens or claims
outstanding for work, labor or materials affecting any of the Properties,
whether prior to, equal with or subordinate to the lien of the applicable
Mortgage.


                (dd) No Purchase Options. Except as set forth in the Leases,
no tenant, person, party, firm, corporation or other entity has an option to
purchase any of the Properties, any portion thereof or any interest therein.

                (ee) Leases.

                     (i)    Borrower has delivered a true, correct and
complete schedule (such schedule, together with any attached exhibits, the
"Rent Roll") of all Leases affecting the Properties as of the date thereof,
which accurately and completely sets forth in all material respects for each
such Lease, the following: the name of the tenant, the lease expiration date,
extension and renewal provisions, the base, additional and percentage rent
payable, the security deposit held thereunder, the square footage, the building
name, and suite location.

                     (ii)   Each Lease constitutes the legal, valid and 
binding obligation of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge and
belief, is enforceable against the tenant thereof. To the best of Borrower's
knowledge, except as disclosed in Schedule 5.1(ee)(ii), no default exists, or
with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist, under any
Lease which would, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower
or the Property.

                     (iii)  Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.1(ee)(iii), 
no tenant under any Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid base rent more
than thirty (30) days in advance, and the rents under such Leases have not been
waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised.

                     (iv)   Other than the Gillette Property and the 
GATX-Stockton Property, all work to be performed by Borrower under the
Leases has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by
Borrower to the tenants thereunder have been made and all other conditions
precedent to each such tenant's obligations thereunder have been satisfied.

                     (v)    Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.1(ee)(v), each
tenant under a Lease has entered into occupancy of
the demised premises.

                     (vi)   Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct 
and complete copies of all leases described in the Rent Roll.

                     (vii)  To the best of Borrower's knowledge and belief, 
each tenant is free from bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement
proceedings or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

                     (viii) No Lease provides any party with the right to
obtain a lien upon any of the Properties superior to
the lien of the Mortgages.

                                       33
<PAGE>
 
                       (ix)   No tenant under any Lease, except as disclosed in
Schedule 5.1(ee)(ix), is affiliated with Guarantor.


                  (ff) Appraisal. Other than the Gillette Property and the
GATX-Stockton Property, all requirements and conditions of the appraisals of the
Properties submitted to Lender, upon which the values of the Properties were
conditioned, have been fully satisfied.


                  (gg) Boundary Lines. Except as disclosed in the Title
Policies, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the
appraised value of the Properties lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the applicable Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon such Property, and no easements or other encumbrances
upon such Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the
value or marketability of such Property except those which are insured against
by title insurance.


                  (hh) Survey. Each of the surveys of the Properties delivered
to Lender in connection with the Loan, has been performed by a duly licensed
surveyor or registered professional engineer in the jurisdiction in which the
relevant Property is situated, is certified to Lender, its successors and
assigns, and the title insurance company, and is materially in accordance with
the most current minimum standards for title surveys as determined by the
American Land Title Association, with the signature and seal of a licensed
engineer or surveyor affixed thereto, and does not fail to reflect any material
matter affecting such Property or the title thereto. All curb cuts, driveways
and traffic signals shown on the survey delivered to Lender are existing and
have been fully approved by the appropriate governmental authority.


                  (ii) Forfeiture. There has not been and shall never be
committed by Borrower nor, to Borrower's knowledge, has there been any other
person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any of the
Properties, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or
local government the right of forfeiture as against any of the Properties or any
part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under
any of the Loan Documents.


                  (jj) No Broker. No financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, 
placement agents, agents or finders have been dealt with by Borrower in
connection with the Loan.

                  (kk) Conviction of Criminal Acts. Neither Borrower nor 
Guarantor has ever been convicted of a crime and neither is currently the
subject of any pending or, to Borrower's knowledge, threatened criminal
investigation or proceeding.

                  (ll) Security Agreement. There are no security agreements or
financing statements affecting any of the Properties other than (i) as disclosed
in writing to Lender prior to the date hereof and (ii) the security agreements
and financing statements created in favor of Lender.


                  (mm) Homestead. None of the Properties form a part of any
property owned, used or claimed by Borrower as a residence or business homestead
and are exempt from forced sale under the laws of the State in which any of the
Properties are located. Borrower hereby disclaims and renounces each and every
claim to all or any portion of any Property as a 

                                       34
<PAGE>
 
homestead. Each Property is used and occupied for commercial purposes in 
accordance with all applicable laws.


                                 ARTICLE VI

                 ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES


         6.1 Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to Lender that, as of the date hereof, and except as disclosed in the
environmental assessment reports for the Properties delivered to Lender (the
"Environmental Reports") (but without limiting Borrower's liability with respect
thereto): (a) to the best of Borrower's knowledge, information and belief, none
of Borrower nor any of the Properties nor any tenant at any of Properties nor
the operations conducted thereon is in direct or indirect violation of any
local, state or federal law, rule or regulation or common law duty pertaining to

general public. Borrower further represents and warrants that all Environmental
Reports meet the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials,
and if any such report revealed any circumstance or condition with respect to
any Property that rendered such Property in violation of any Environmental Law,
then (1) the same has been remediated in all material respects, (2) sufficient
funds have been escrowed for purposes of effecting such remediation or (3)
Borrower is currently taking action with respect to such circumstances or
conditions as have been recommended by the Environmental Report or are required
by the applicable governmental regulatory authority (including implementation of

         6.2 Notice of Violations Under Environmental Laws. Except as disclosed
in the Environmental Reports (but without limiting Borrower's liability with
respect thereto), Borrower has not received nor to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, information and belief has there been issued with respect to any of
the Properties, any notice, notification, demand, request for information,
citation, summons, or order in any way relating to any actual, alleged or
potential violation or liability arising under Environmental Laws.


         6.3 Transportation of Hazardous Substances. None of the Properties, nor
to the best of Borrower's knowledge, information and belief any property to
which Borrower has, in connection with the maintenance or operation of the
Properties, directly or indirectly transported or arranged for the
transportation of any Hazardous Substances, is listed or, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, information and belief, proposed for listing on the
National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, on CERCLIS (as defined
in CERCLA) or on any similar federal or state list of sites requiring
environmental investigation or clean-up.


         6.4 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Borrower shall comply with all
applicable Environmental Laws. Borrower shall keep or cause each of the
Properties to be kept free from Hazardous Substances (except those substances
used and/or disposed of by Borrower or any tenant in the ordinary course of
their respective businesses in compliance with all Environmental Laws) and in
compliance with all Environmental Laws. Borrower shall not itself, and shall not
allow any tenant under any Lease to, install or use any underground storage
tanks in violation of Environmental Laws, and in all Leases executed after the
Closing Date, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage,
production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances by all tenants in
quantities or conditions that would violate or give rise to any obligation to
take remedial or other action under any applicable Environmental Laws. Borrower
shall enforce such prohibitions against any Tenant under any Lease. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall not install in the
Improvements or permit to be installed in the Improvements any asbestos or
asbestos-containing material.


         6.5 Notice to Lender. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender if Borrower
shall become aware of (a) the actual or potential existence of any Hazardous
Substances on any of the Properties other than those occurring in the ordinary
course of Borrower's or any tenant's business which do not violate Environmental
Laws, (b) any direct or indirect violation of any Environmental Laws, (c) any
lien, action or notice affecting any of the Properties or Borrower 

                                       36
<PAGE>
 
resulting from any violation or alleged violation of or liability or
alleged liability under any Environmental Laws, (d) the institution of any
investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrower or any of the
Properties pursuant to any Environmental Laws or otherwise relating to Hazardous
Substances affecting Borrower or any of the Properties, or (e) the discovery of
any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any
representation or warranty contained in this Article VI incorrect in any
material respect if made at the time of such discovery. Immediately upon receipt
of same, Borrower, shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all requests for
information, complaints, citations, summonses, orders, notices, reports or other
communications, documents or instruments in any way relating to any actual,
alleged or potential violation or liability of any nature whatsoever arising
under Environmental Laws and relating to any of the Properties or to Borrower.
Borrower shall remedy or cause to be remedied in a timely manner (and in any
event within the time period required by applicable Environmental Laws) any
violation of Environmental Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall,
promptly and regardless of the source of the contamination or threat to the
environment or human health, at its own expense, take all actions as shall be
necessary or prudent, for the clean-up of any and all portions of the affected
Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all
investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in
accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner
satisfactory to Lender) and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense
to Lender, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable
governmental agencies which may be asserted against the affected Property. In
the event Borrower fails to do so, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to,
cause the affected Property or other affected property to be freed from
Hazardous Substances in conformance with Environmental Laws and any and all
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with
interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender
until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand
and shall be secured by the Mortgages and by all of the other Loan Documents
securing all or any part of the Loan; and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and
its agents and employees access to the Properties and a license to remove any
items deemed by Lender to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Lender
shall deem necessary to bring the Properties into conformance with Environmental
Laws.

         6.6 Indemnification. Borrower covenants and agrees, at Borrower's sole
cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and with
attorneys, consultants and experts acceptable to Lender), and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all liens, damages (including, without
limitation, punitive or exemplary damages), losses, liabilities (including,
without limitation, strict liability), obligations, settlement payments,
penalties, fines, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation,
demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or
expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and disbursements actually
incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim,
litigation or proceeding) which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or
asserted against Lender or any of the Properties, and arising directly or
indirectly from or out of: (a) any violation or alleged violation of, or
liability or alleged liability under, any Environmental Law with respect to
Borrower or any of the Properties; (b) the presence, release or threat of
release of or exposure to any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting
any Property or any portion of such Property and/or any surrounding areas,
regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower; (c)
any transport, treatment, recycling, storage, disposal or arrangement 

                                       37
<PAGE>
 
therefor of Hazardous Substances whether on the Property, originating from
the Property, or otherwise associated with Borrower or any operations conducted
on the Property at any time; (iv) the failure by Borrower to comply fully with
the terms and conditions of this Article VI; (v) the breach of any
representation or warranty contained in this Article VI; (vi) the enforcement of
this Article VI, including, without limitation, the cost of assessment,
investigation, containment, removal and/or remediation of any and all Hazardous
Substances from any Property or any portion of such Property or any surrounding
areas, the cost of any actions taken in response to the presence, release or
threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting any
portion of a Property or any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such
release or threat of release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or
threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the
environment, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection
with any Property or any portion of such Property or any surrounding areas. The
indemnity set forth in this Section 6.6 shall also include any diminution in the
value of the security afforded by the Properties or any future reduction in the
sales price of the Properties by reason of any matter set forth in this Article
VI. The foregoing indemnity shall specifically not include any such costs
relating to Hazardous Substances which are initially placed on, in or under any
of the Properties after foreclosure or other taking of title to such Properties
by Lender or its successor or assigns. Lender's rights under this Section 6.6
shall survive payment in full of the Loan, taking of title to the Properties by
Lender or its successors or assigns and foreclosure of the Mortgages, and shall
be in addition to all other rights of Lender under the Mortgages, the Note and
the other Loan Documents.

         6.7 Hazardous Substances Audit. Upon Lender's request, at any time
after the occurrence of an Event of Default or at such other time as Lender has
reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been
released, stored or disposed of on any Property in violation of Environmental
Laws, or on property contiguous with such Property, or that such Property may be
in violation of the Environmental Laws, Borrower shall perform or cause to be
performed, at Borrower's sole cost and expense and in scope, form and substance
satisfactory to Lender, an inspection or audit of such Property prepared by a
hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant
approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on
such Property, the compliance or non-compliance status of such Property and the
operations conducted thereon with applicable Environmental Laws, or an
inspection or audit of such Property prepared by an engineering or consulting
firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos
or substances containing asbestos on such Property. If Borrower fails to provide
reports of such inspection or audit within forty-five (45) days after such
request, Lender may order the same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its
employees and agents access to such Property and an irrevocable license to
undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit,
together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date
incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by
Borrower on demand and shall be secured by the Mortgages and by all of the other
Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Loan.


         6.8 Maintenance Program. Borrower covenants and agrees to maintain and
adhere to all operations and maintenance programs presently in place at any of
the Properties (the "Maintenance Program") with respect to asbestos containing
materials ("ACM's"), consistent with "Guidelines for Controlling
Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings" (USEPA, 1985) 

                                       38
<PAGE>
 
and other relevant guidelines, and any such Maintenance Program will
continuously remain in effect until the Loan secured hereby is repaid in full.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower shall inspect and maintain all ACM's
on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM's shall be maintained in a condition
that prevents exposure of residents to ACM's at all times. Without limiting the
generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require (a) periodic notices or
reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may
specify, (b) an amendment to such Maintenance Program to address changing
circumstances, laws or other matters, (c) at Borrower's sole expense,
supplemental examination of any Property by consultants specified by Lender, and
(d) variation of the Maintenance Program in response to the reports provided by
any such consultants.

         6.9 Existing Remediation and Monitoring Programs. Without limiting any
of Borrower's other representations, warranties or covenants in this Article VI,
Borrower covenants that it shall continue to timely comply with the terms and
provisions of the existing remediation and monitoring programs with respect to
the Properties located at the Emeryville, California Property (identified as
Properties #69, #70 and #71 on Exhibit A attached hereto) (ground water
contamination); 4790 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, California (identified as
Property #74 on Exhibit A attached hereto) (methane gas); 1310 University

Northridge, California (identified as Property #101 on Exhibit A attached
hereto) (environmental remediation). Notwithstanding the terms and provisions
contained in any remediation and monitoring program with respect to such
Properties, as between Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall remain responsible
for complying with all Environmental Laws and indemnifying Lender for any
losses, claims and expenses as set forth in this Article VI. In connection with
the Property located at 9401 Corbin Avenue, Lot # 43, Northridge, California,
Borrower shall also establish the Environmental Reserve as set forth in Section

against any and all losses, liabilities, fines, claims, actions, judgments,
costs, expenses or damages, to the extent such losses, liabilities, fines,
claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or damages do not arise out of
Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a

thereon, including, without limitation, in any case, reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses as aforesaid, whether at pretrial, trial or appellate level,
and such indemnity shall survive payment in full of the Loan. Lender will be
entitled to appear in any action or proceeding to defend itself against such
claims, and all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorney's fees, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon request.
Lender shall, at its option, and subject to Borrower's reasonable prior written
approval, be entitled to settle or compromise any asserted claim against it, and
such settlement shall be binding upon Borrower for purposes of this
indemnification. Payment thereof by Lender or the payment by Lender of any such
judgment or claim successfully perfected against Lender shall bear interest at

and thereof to be covered hereby and thereby, including specifically, but
without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or
appurtenances to the Properties; (c) promptly execute, acknowledge, deliver,
procure and record or file any document or instrument (including specifically,
without limitation, any financing statement) deemed advisable by Lender to
protect, continue or perfect the liens or the security interests hereunder
against the rights or interests of third persons; and (d) promptly furnish to
Lender, upon Lender's request, a duly acknowledged written statement and
estoppel certificate 

                                       43

addressed to such party or parties as directed by Lender and in form and
substance supplied by Lender, setting forth all amounts due under the Note,
stating whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder, stating
whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Loan and containing such other
matters as Lender may reasonably require.

         7.11 Management Agreements. Borrower shall not modify, amend or
terminate any Management Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.
In the event a Manager elects to terminate its services under the Management
Agreement as may be permitted in such Management Agreement, within thirty (30)
days following such termination Borrower shall enter into a new Management
Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating
Agencies and with a manager acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

                             REPORTING COVENANTS


         8.1 Financial Statements and Books and Records. Borrower shall keep
accurate books and records of account of each Property and its own financial
affairs sufficient to permit the preparation of financial statements therefrom
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied. Borrower is and shall continue to provide Lender with reporting
information which complies with the Commercial Real Estate Secondary Market and
Securitization Association Standards and in electronic format and such other
format as Lender may require. Lender and its duly authorized representatives
shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Borrower's records and books of
account at all reasonable times. The cost of such examination and audit shall be
at the expense of Lender, (x) unless there exists an Event of Default or (y) at
such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Borrower's
financial statements are inaccurate or incomplete and such audit discloses a
material inaccuracy. Borrower agrees that it shall furnish to Lender its audited
balance sheet, dated as of October 1, 1998, on or before October 28, 1998, which
balance sheet Borrower presently anticipates will be, and when completed, must
be, consistent with the Properties' financial information previously delivered
to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan. Prior to a Securitization
of the Loan, Borrower shall furnish to Lender and the Rating Agencies, upon
request from time to time, monthly operating statements and a current Rent Roll
(containing all of the information set forth in Section 5.1(ee)(i), above) for
each Property and, to the extent the tenant or tenants of such Property are
required to report sales, monthly sales reports for each retail Property.
Throughout the Loan term, Borrower shall also furnish to Lender and the Rating
Agencies (a) unaudited quarterly financial statements and operating statements
for the Properties together with unaudited annual financial and operating
statements for the twelve (12) months ending with such quarter, collectively,
(b) quarterly current Rent Rolls (containing all of the information set forth in
Section 5.1(ee)(i), above) for each Property, (c) to the extent the tenant or
tenants of such Property are required to report sales, current quarterly sales
reports for each retail Property, and (d) audited annual financial and operating
statements for all of the Properties, collectively, prepared by a `Big Six'
accounting firm or other independent certified public 

                                       44
<PAGE>
 
accountant acceptable to Lender. Such annual financial statements shall
include, without limitation, (i) a balance sheet, (ii) a statement of income and
expenses reflecting the actual and complete results of the operation of each
Property for the prior fiscal year, and (iii) a statement of cash flow, each in
reasonable detail. Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The
quarterly statements must be delivered to Lender within forty-five (45) days
following the respective quarter and the annual statements must be delivered to
Lender within ninety (90) days of the year end. In addition, upon Lender's or
the Rating Agencies' request from time to time, Borrower shall furnish or cause
to be furnished current annual financial statements on the Guarantor in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and on any person or entity having a direct
ownership interest in the Borrower, together with such other information
concerning the financial condition or operation of the Borrower and/or the
Property and/or Guarantor as may be reasonably requested by Lender. If any of
the aforementioned materials are not furnished to Lender within the applicable
time periods or Lender is dissatisfied with the contents of any of the foregoing
and has notified Borrower of its dissatisfaction, in addition to any other
rights and remedies of Lender contained herein, Lender shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to obtain the same by means of an audit by an independent
certified public accountant selected by Lender, in which event Borrower agrees
to pay, or to reimburse Lender for, any expense of such audit if such audit
discloses a material inaccuracy from the materials furnished by Borrower and
further agrees to provide all necessary information to said accountant and to
otherwise cooperate in the making of such audit.

         8.2 Representations and Warranties. Borrower agrees that all financial
statements to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Article VIII shall: (a) be
complete and correct in all material respects; (b) present fairly the financial
condition of the party, including all material liabilities; and (c) be prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied. Borrower shall be deemed to warrant and represent that, as of the date
of delivery of any such financial statement, no Properties have been sold,
transferred, assigned, mortgaged, pledged or encumbered since the date of such
financial statement, except as disclosed by Borrower in a writing delivered to
Lender. Borrower agrees that all Rent Rolls and other information to be
delivered to Lender pursuant to this Article VIII shall not contain any material
misrepresentation or omission of a material fact.


                                   ARTICLE IX

             CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT; RESERVE AND IMPOUND ACCOUNTS


         9.1 Cash Management Agreement. Borrower and Lender shall enter into a
Cash Management Agreement (the "Cash Management Agreement") which will govern
the collection and distribution of revenues as generated from the Properties
throughout the term of the Loan. Pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement,
Borrower will establish separate accounts (the "Cash Management Accounts") with
a bank (the "Clearing Bank") designated by Borrower and acceptable to Lender
through which all rents and other receipts from the Properties (collectively the
"Revenues") will be cleared. All cash held in accounts under the Cash Management
Agreement which are under the dominion and control of the Lender or any other
accounts held by or on Lender's behalf and established pursuant to the Loan
Documents, shall be held in Permitted Investments. Until the earliest to occur
of (1) the date ("CS Event 1") three (3) months 

                                       45
<PAGE>
 
prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, (2) the date upon which the Lender
determines that the ratio of (a) Net Cash Flow for the immediate preceding
12-month period from ongoing and continuous operations of the Properties to (b)
the annual debt service on the Loan, has fallen below 1.15:1.00, as determined
by Lender (the "Minimum Coverage Ratio") (and Borrower fails to post Additional
Collateral as provided in the Cash Management Agreement) ("CS Event 2") or (3)
an Event of Default under the Loan Documents ("CS Event 3") (each, a "Sweep
Event"), the Clearing Bank will transfer all receipts daily from Lender's
controlled account into Borrower's account pursuant to the provisions of the
Cash Management Agreement. The period following a Cash Sweep Event shall be
referred to as the "Cash Management Period".

         9.2 Tax and Insurance Impound Account. Borrower shall establish and
maintain at all times throughout the term of the Loan an impound account (the
"Impound Account") with Lender for payment of real estate taxes and assessments
and insurance on all the Properties and as additional security for the Loan.
Borrower shall, on the Closing Date, make an initial deposit in the Impound
Account reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary to ensure that there
will be on deposit with Lender an amount which, when added to the monthly
payments subsequently required to be deposited with Lender hereunder on account
of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, will result in there
being on deposit with Lender in the Impound Account an amount sufficient to pay
the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Properties
at least one (1) month prior to the earlier of (a) the delinquent date thereof
or (b) any such date by which the Borrower is required by law to pay same, and
the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Properties at least
one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing on the first monthly
payment date under the Note and continuing thereafter on each monthly payment
date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with and in
addition to the monthly payment due under the Note and until the Loan is fully
paid and performed, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the
amount of the annual real estate taxes and assessments that will next become due
and payable on the Properties, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the
annual premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies
which Borrower is required to maintain hereunder, each as estimated and
determined by Lender. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, all sums in
the Impound Account shall be held by Beneficiary in the Impound Account to pay
said taxes and assessments before the same become delinquent. Borrower shall be
responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior
to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and
statements for all taxes and assessments to be paid from the Impound Account,
and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall pay the
governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent
funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. Borrower agrees
that it shall pay all said insurance premiums before the same become delinquent
directly to the party entitled thereto. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred, sums held in the Impound Account by Lender shall be disbursed by
Lender to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower's request to
reimburse Borrower for the payment of said insurance premiums to the extent
funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. Borrower shall with
each reimbursement request (which shall not be more frequent than once in any
thirty (30) day period) submit copies of receipts, statements or invoices
evidencing payment of such insurance premiums acceptable to Lender. In the event
Borrower fails to pay said insurance premiums before the same become delinquent,
Lender shall have the right to make such payment to the party entitled thereto
on Borrower's behalf with the sums held by Lender in the Impound Account. In
making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender 

                                       46
<PAGE>
 
shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from
the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry
into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry
into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax,
assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. The
Impound Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable
law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender's option and in
Lender's discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled
by Lender with the general funds of Lender.

         9.3      Repair and Remediation Reserve.
                  ------------------------------

                  Prior to the execution of this Loan Agreement, Lender has
caused each Property in the Property Pool to be inspected and such inspection
has revealed that certain Properties (each, a "Deferred Maintenance Property"
and collectively, the "Deferred Maintenance Properties") are in need of certain
maintenance, repairs and/or remedial or corrective work. Contemporaneously with
the execution hereof, Borrower has established with the Lender a reserve in the
amount of Seven Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars
($725,600.00) (the "Repair and Remediation Reserve") by depositing such amount
with Lender. Borrower shall cause each of the items described in Schedule 4
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Deferred Maintenance") to be
completed, performed, remediated and corrected to the satisfaction of Lender and
as necessary to bring the Deferred Maintenance Properties into compliance with
all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations on or before the
expiration of one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, as such time
period may be extended by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall have
the right to inspect the work from time to time to insure that the work is being
completed in a good and workmanlike manner.


                  So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, all sums in the Repair and Remediation Reserve shall be held by
Lender in the Repair and Remediation Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of
completing the Deferred Maintenance. So long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available
for such purpose in the Repair and Remediation Reserve, disburse to Borrower the
amount paid or incurred by Borrower in completing, performing, remediating or
correcting the Deferred Maintenance upon (a) the receipt by Lender of a written
request from Borrower for disbursement from the Repair and Remediation Reserve
and a certification by Borrower in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D that the
Deferred Maintenance has been fully completed and that all Deferred Maintenance
work with respect to any Property for which funds are requested has been
completed in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement, (b) delivery to
Lender of invoices, receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender verifying
the costs of the Deferred Maintenance to be reimbursed, (c) if applicable,
delivery to Lender of any and all certifications from inspecting architects,
engineers or other consultants reasonably acceptable to Lender describing the
completed work, verifying the completion of the work and the value of the
completed work and, if applicable, certifying that the Deferred Maintenance
Properties are, as a result of such work, in compliance with all applicable
laws, ordinances rules and regulations relating to the Deferred Maintenance 
so performed, (d) delivery to Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen,
laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim
statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or
labor to the Deferred Maintenance Properties have been paid all amounts due for
such labor and materials furnished to the Deferred Maintenance 

                                       47
<PAGE>
 
Properties, and (e) the receipt by Lender of an administrative fee for each
disbursement request in an amount equal to all of Lender's out of pocket costs
and expenses plus Lender's then customary charge for performing such service,
but in no event less than $1,000.00. Lender shall not be required to make
advances from the Repair and Remediation Reserve more frequently than once in
any thirty (30) day period and for an amount less than $10,000. In making
payment from the Repair and Remediation Reserve Lender shall be entitled to rely
on the request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any such amount. The Repair and Remediation Reserve shall not,
unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be
escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender's option and in Lender's discretion, may
either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general
funds of Lender.


           9.4 Replacement Reserve; Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions
               ----------------------------------------------------------------
Reserve.
- -------

               (a) During the continuance of a Cash Management Period,
Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times during such period a
replacement reserve (the "Replacement Reserve") with Lender for payment of
certain costs and expenses, incurred by Borrower or which may otherwise be
necessary, in connection with the repair and maintenance of the Properties,
including, but not limited to, the roofs, gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs,
driveways, ramps, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows,
elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment (collectively, the "Repairs").
During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, Borrower shall pay Lender,
concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due under the Note, a
deposit to the Replacement Reserve in the amount determined by the formula set
forth in Schedule 3 for such reserve. Lender shall, to the extent funds are
available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Borrower the
amount paid or incurred by Borrower in performing such Repairs within ten (10)
Business Days following: (i) the receipt by Lender of a written request from
Borrower for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification by
Borrower in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D that the applicable item of
Repair has been completed; (ii) the delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts or
other evidence satisfactory to Lender, verifying the cost of performing the
Repairs; (iii) for disbursement requests in excess of $150,000 in the aggregate
within any thirty (30) day period as to any single Property, the delivery to
Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other
parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are
furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the applicable Property have
been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to such Property;
(iv) for disbursement requests in excess of $300,000 in the aggregate within any
thirty (30) day period as to any single Property, delivery to Lender of a
certification from an inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to
Lender describing the completed Repairs and verifying the completion of the
Repairs and the value of the completed Repairs; (v) delivery to Lender of a new
certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such
Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a
certification by Borrower that no new certificate of occupancy is required; and
(vi) the receipt by Borrower of an administration fee for each disbursement
request in an amount equal to all of Lender's out of pocket costs and expenses
plus Lender's then customary charge for performing such services but in no event
less than $1,000. Lender shall not be required to make advances from the
Replacement Reserve more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period 

                                       48
<PAGE>
 
and for an amount less than $10,000. In making any payment from the
Replacement Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such request from
Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of
any such amount. During any Cash Management Period, Lender may, at Lender's
expense, make or cause to be made an annual inspection at the Properties to
determine the need, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, for
further Repairs of the Properties. In the event that such inspection reveals
that further Repairs of the Properties are required, Lender shall provide
Borrower with a written description of the required Repairs and Borrower shall
complete such Repairs to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within ninety
(90) days after the receipt of such description from Lender, or such later
date as may be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. The
Replacement Reserve shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by
applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender's
option and in Lender's discretion, may either be held in a separate account or
be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender.

                  (b) During the continuance of a Cash Management Period,
Borrower shall establish and maintain at all times during such period a reserve
for tenant improvements and leasing commissions (the "TI/LC Reserve") with
Lender for payment of leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs and
expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with re-leasing the Properties
pursuant to Leases approved, or deemed approved, by Lender (collectively, the
"Leasing Costs"). During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, Borrower
shall pay Lender, concurrently with and in addition to the monthly payment due
under the Note, a deposit to the TI/LC Reserve in the amounts determined by the
formulas set forth in Schedule 3 for such reserves. Lender shall, to the extent
funds are available for such purpose in the TI/LC Reserve, disburse to Borrower
the amount paid or incurred by Borrower in performing such Leasing Costs within
ten (10) Business Days following: (i) the receipt by Lender of a written request
from Borrower for disbursement from the TI/LC Reserve and a certification by
Borrower in the form annexed as Exhibit D that (1) for Leasing Costs consisting
of commissions payable to brokers not affiliated with Borrower and at a rate not
greater than the then-current market rate, such leasing commission has been paid
by Borrower, and (2) for Leasing Costs consisting of amounts required to be
expended pursuant to the relevant Lease for tenant improvement or related costs,
said Leasing Costs have been incurred, (ii) the delivery to Lender of invoices,
receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender verifying the cost of such
Leasing Costs; (iii) for disbursement requests for Leasing Costs in excess of
$150,000 in the aggregate within any thirty (30) day period as to any single

common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished material or labor to the
property have been paid (or will be paid out of such disbursement) all amounts
due for labor and materials furnished to the applicable Property; (iv) for
disbursement requests for Leasing Costs in excess of $300,000 in the aggregate
within any thirty (30) day period as to any single Property (other than with
respect to leasing commissions), delivery to Lender of a certification from an
inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Lender describing the
completed tenant improvement or other work, and verifying the completion and the
value thereof; (v) for disbursement requests for Leasing Costs in excess of
$300,000 in the aggregate within any thirty (30) day period as to any single
Property (other than with respect to leasing commissions), evidence satisfactory
to Lender that there exists sufficient funds in the TI/LC Reserve to complete
the tenant improvement or other work; (vi) delivery to Lender of a new
certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such

                                       49
<PAGE>
 
Lease for the applicable Property, if said new certificate of occupancy was
required by law, or a certification by Borrower that no new certificate of
occupancy was required; (vii) for disbursement requests for Leasing Costs in
excess of $300,000 in the aggregate within any thirty (30) day period as to any
single Property (other than with respect to leasing commissions), delivery to
Lender of an estoppel certificate from the tenants of the relevant premises in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (viii) the receipt by
Lender of an administrative fee for each disbursement request in an amount equal
to all of Lender's out of pocket costs and expenses plus Lender's then customary
charge for performing such services but in no event less than $1,000. Lender
shall not be required to make advances from the TI/LC Reserve more frequently
than once in any thirty (30) day period and for an amount less than $10,000. In
making any payment from the TI/LC Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on
such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any such amount. The TI/LC Reserve shall not, unless otherwise
explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust
funds, but, at Lender's option and in Lender's discretion, may either be held in
a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender.


         9.5  Environmental Reserve.


              (a) Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower has
established with Lender a reserve in the amount of $300,000 (the "Environmental
Reserve") by depositing such amount with Lender to fund potential remediation
work as more particularly described in that certain Environmental Site
Assessment dated July 24, 1998 and prepared by Dames and Moore for Lender (the
"Environmental Report"; such work, the "Environmental Work"), with respect to
the Property located at 9401 Corbin Avenue, Lot # 43, Northridge, California
(identified as Property # 101 on Exhibit A attached hereto) to be performed and
completed to the satisfaction of Lender and as recommended in the Environmental
Report.


              (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, all sums in the Environmental Reserve shall be held by Lender in
the Environmental Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of completing the
Environmental Work. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose
in the Environmental Reserve, disburse to Borrower the amount paid or incurred
by Borrower in performing and completing the Environmental Work upon (i) the
receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for disbursement from the
Environmental Reserve and a certification by Borrower in the form annexed as
Exhibit D that the Environmental Work has been fully completed in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts
or other evidence satisfactory to Lender verifying the costs of the
Environmental Work to be reimbursed, (iii) delivery to Lender of a certification
from an inspecting architect, engineer or other consultant reasonably acceptable
to Lender describing the completed work, verifying the completion of the work
and the value of the completed work and, if applicable, certifying that such
work has been performed in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances rules
and regulations relating to the Environmental Work so performed, (iv) delivery
to Lender of affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other
parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are
furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the Property have been paid
(or will be paid out of such disbursement) all amounts due 

                                       50
<PAGE>
 
for such labor and materials furnished to the Property, and (v) the receipt by 
Lender of an administrative fee in an amount equal to all of Lender's out
of pocket costs and expenses plus Lender's then customary charge for performing
such services but in no event less than $1,000. Lender shall not be required to
make more than one (1) payment from the Environmental Reserve. In making the
payment from the Environmental Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such
request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or
contestability of any such amount. The Environmental Reserve shall not, unless
otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or
trust funds, but, at Lender's option and in Lender's discretion, may either be
held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of
Lender.

         9.6      Prepaid Rent Reserve
                  --------------------

                  (a) Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Borrower has
established with Lender a reserve in the amount of $187,306 (the "Prepaid Rent
Reserve") by depositing with Lender an amount equal to two-thirds (2/3rds) of
the amount of rent paid quarterly in advance (i.e., paid prior to the period to
which such rent applies) for the Ground Leases listed on Schedule 5.1(ee)(iii)
(the "Quarterly Ground Leases"). Lender shall hold the Prepaid Rent Reserve
throughout the term of the Loan. Borrower shall provide to Lender a quarterly
certificate as to the amount of the rent paid under the Quarterly Ground Leases
more than thirty (30) days in advance, together with any other rents similarly
paid (i.e., paid prior to the period to which such rent applies) more than
thirty (30) days in advance under any other Leases (collectively, the "Prepaid
Rents"). The amount of the Prepaid Rent Reserve shall be adjusted quarterly by
Lender to reflect any increase or decrease in the amount of Prepaid Rents
collected by Borrower such that the amount of the Prepaid Rent Reserve shall
always equal the amount of Prepaid Rents. Borrower agrees that if at any time
the Prepaid Rent Reserve is less than the Prepaid Rents, Borrower shall deposit
with Lender such additional funds necessary to properly fund the Prepaid Rent
Reserve. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender shall disburse to Borrower any excess funds above and beyond
the amount required to be in the Prepaid Rent Reserve from time to time. Lender
shall not be required to make more than one (1) payment per ninety (90) day
period.


                  (b) The Prepaid Rent Reserve shall not, unless otherwise
explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust
funds, but, at Lender's option and in Lender's discretion, may either be held in
a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general funds of Lender.


         9.7      Interest Payable by Lender. Lender shall cause funds in the
Impound Account, the Repair and Remediation Reserve, the Replacement Reserve,
the TI/LC Reserve, and the Environmental Reserve, if any, to be deposited into
an interest bearing account (which shall be a Permitted Investment) of the
type customarily maintained by Lender or its servicing agent for the
investment of similar reserves, which account may not yield the highest
interest rate then available. All accounts must be and continue to be held
with a financial institution rated at least "A" by DCR and at least "Aa2" by
Moody's, or if not rated by DCR and Moody's, correspondingly by at least two
(2) Rating Agencies, or otherwise acceptable to DCR and Moody's. Interest
payable on such amounts shall be computed based on the daily outstanding
balance in such account. Such interest shall be calculated on a simple, non-
compounded interest

                                       51
<PAGE>
 
basis based solely on contributions made to such account by Borrower. All
interest earned on amounts contributed to such account shall be retained by
Lender and added to the balance in the Impound Account, the Repair and
Remediation Reserve, the Replacement Reserve, and the TI/LC Reserve, as
applicable, and shall be disbursed for payment of the items for which other
funds in such reserves are to be disbursed.

         9.8      Pledge of Security Interest in Impound and Reserve Accounts.
                  -----------------------------------------------------------

                  (a) As additional security for the Secured Obligations,
Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges,
mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Lender,
and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in, (i) the Impound Account, the
Repair and Remediation Reserve, the Replacement Reserve, the TI/LC Reserve, the
Environmental Reserve, the Prepaid Rent Reserve, the Cash Management Accounts,
and any other reserve or escrow account established, pursuant to the terms
hereof or of any other Loan Documents (collectively, the "Reserves"), (ii) the
accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited, (iii) all insurance of
said accounts, (iv) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or
other rights and interests pertaining thereto, (v) all sums now or hereafter
therein or represented thereby, (vi) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds
thereof, (vii) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the
Reserves or such accounts, (viii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and
immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals
therefrom), and (ix) all proceeds of the foregoing. Borrower hereby authorizes
and consents to the account into which the Reserves have been or will be
deposited being held in Lender's name or the name of any entity servicing the
Note for Lender and hereby acknowledges and agrees, that Lender, or at Lender's
election, such servicing agent, shall have exclusive control over said account.
Notice of the assignment and security interest granted to Lender herein may be
delivered by Lender at any time to the financial institution wherein the
Reserves have been established, and Lender, or such servicing entity, shall have
possession of all passbooks or other evidences of such accounts. Borrower hereby
assumes all risk of loss with respect to amounts on deposit in the Reserves
except to the extent such loss is caused by Lender's willful misconduct or gross
negligence. Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates,
acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as
set forth herein is at Borrower's direction and is not the exercise by Lender of
any right of set-off or other remedy upon an Event of Default. Borrower hereby
waives all right to withdraw funds from the Reserves except as provided in the
Cash Management Agreement. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under
any other of the Loan Documents, then Lender may, without notice or demand on
Borrower or Guarantor, at its option: (A) withdraw any or all of the funds
(including, without limitation, interest) then remaining in the Reserves and
apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping,
collection and delivery (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys'
fees, costs and expenses) to the obligations of Borrower under the Loan
Documents in such manner or as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole
discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, (B) exercise any
and all rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform
Commercial Code, and/or (C) exercise any other remedies available at law or in
equity. No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall
be deemed to cure any Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents.

              (b) The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender and
entail no responsibility on Lender's part beyond the payment of the respective
items for which they are held following receipt of bills, invoices or statements
therefor in accordance with the terms hereof and beyond the allowing of due
credit for the sums actually received. Upon assignment of the Note by Lender,
any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any
responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If
the funds in the applicable Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually
applied by Lender for the purposes and items for which the applicable Reserve is
held, such excess may be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made
hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrower. If, however, the
applicable Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required
by the dates on which such sums are required to be on deposit in such account,
Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof,
deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If Borrower shall
fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency as provided
above, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such
deposit, and all amounts so deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon
at the Default Interest Rate from the date so deposited by Lender until actually
paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be
secured by the Mortgages and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or
any part of the Loan. Upon full payment of the Loan in accordance with its terms
or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of any or all of the
Reserves then in Lender's possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other
party shall have any right or claim thereto.


              (c) By exercising any of its rights or remedies under this
Section 9.8 (including, without limitation, taking possession of the Reserves),
Lender shall not be deemed to have exercised any equitable right of setoff, or
foreclosed any statutory banker's lien. Accordingly, the exercise of any or all
of Lender's rights and remedies under this Section 9.8 shall not in any way
prejudice or affect Lender's right to initiate and complete a judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure under the Mortgages. This Agreement evidences the
consensual granting of a personal property security interest in the Reserves as
permitted by any applicable Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and enacted by
the State or States where any of the Reserves are held (the "Uniform Commercial
Code").

agreement or obligation under any Loan Document which requires payment of any
money to Lender at the time or within any applicable period set forth in such

grace period or notic

                                       53
<PAGE>
 
                  (b) e period is provided for the payment of principal and
interest due on any Payment Date or on the Maturity Date), or following demand
if there is no due date.


                  (c) Borrower fails to perform any covenant, agreement,
obligation, term or condition set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, Section 7.3

                  (d) Borrower fails to perform any other Secured Obligation or
condition set forth in any Loan Document other than those otherwise described in
this Section 10.1 and, to the extent such failure or default is susceptible of
being cured, the continuance of such failure or default for thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof from Lender to Borrower; provided, however, that if
such default is susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with
reasonable diligence within said period of time, and if Borrower commences to
cure such default promptly after receipt of notice thereof from Lender and
Lender's security is not otherwise materially impaired, and thereafter
prosecutes the curing of such default with reasonable diligence, such period of
time shall be extended for such period of time as may be necessary to cure such
default with reasonable diligence, but not to exceed an additional ninety (90)
days.


                  (e) Any representation or warranty made herein, in or in
connection with any application or in the Loan Commitment relating to the Loan
evidenced by the Note, or in any of the other Loan Documents to Lender by
Borrower, by any principal, general partner or managing member in Borrower or by
any indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor) under any indemnity or
guaranty executed in connection with the Loan is determined by Lender to have
been false or misleading in any material respect with respect to any one or more
Properties or otherwise with respect to the Loan at the time made.


                  (f) An Event of Default occurs under any of the other Loan
Documents.


                  (g) Borrower, any general partner or member in Borrower or any
indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor) under any indemnity or guaranty
executed in connection with the Loan becomes insolvent, or makes a transfer in
fraud of creditors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
files a petition in bankruptcy, or is voluntarily adjudicated insolvent or
bankrupt or admits in writing the inability to pay debts as they mature, or
petitions or applies to any tribunal for, or consents to or fails to contest the
appointment of, a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar officer for Borrower,
for any such general partner or member of Borrower or for any such indemnitor or
guarantor (including Guarantor) or for a substantial part of the assets of
Borrower, of any such general partner or member of Borrower or of any such
indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor), or commences any case, proceeding
or other action under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment
or debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether
now or hereafter in effect with respect to Borrower, any general partner or
member in Borrower or any indemnitor or guarantor (including, but not limited
to, Guarantor).


                  (h) A petition is filed or any case, proceeding or other
action is commenced against Borrower, against any general partner or member of
Borrower or against any indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor) under any
indemnity or guaranty executed in connection with the Loan seeking to have an
order for relief entered against it as debtor or seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its
debts or other relief under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
arrangement, reorganization, receivership or 

                                       54
<PAGE>
 
other debtor relief under any law or statute of any jurisdiction whether
now or hereafter in effect, or a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order
for relief against Borrower, against any general partner or member of Borrower
or against any indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor) under any indemnity
or guaranty executed in connection with the Loan, as debtor, or an order,
judgment or decree is entered appointing, with or without the consent of
Borrower, of any such general partner or member of Borrower or of any such
indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor), a receiver, trustee, custodian or
similar officer for Borrower, for any such general partner or member of Borrower
or for any such indemnitor or guarantor (including Guarantor), or for any
substantial part of any of the properties of Borrower, of any such general
partner or member of Borrower or of any such indemnitor or guarantor (including
Guarantor), and if any such event shall occur, such petition, case, proceeding,
action, order, judgment or decree shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days
after being commenced.

               (i) Any Property or any material part thereof is taken on
execution or other process of law (other than in the nature of eminent domain)
in any action against Borrower.


               (j) Borrower fails to deliver the audited balance sheet as
required in Section 8.1 above on or before October 28, 1998, which balance sheet
must be consistent with the Properties' financial information previously
delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan.


         10.2  Acceleration Upon Event of Default; Remedies. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole
option, declare all sums owing to Lender under the Note, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents immediately due and payable without any presentment,
demand, protest, notice, or action of any kind whatever (each of which is hereby
expressly waived by Borrower), whereupon the same shall become immediately due
and payable. Upon any such acceleration, payment of such accelerated amount
shall constitute a prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and any
applicable prepayment premium provided for in the Note shall then be immediately
due and payable.


         10.3  Further Remedies. During the continuance of any Event of Default,
Lender shall have all rights, powers and remedies available under each of the
Loan Documents, or accorded by law, including, without limitation, the right to
resort to any or all security for any credit extended by Lender to Borrower
under any of the Loan Documents and to exercise any or all of the rights of a
Lender or secured party pursuant to the applicable law.


         10.4  Repayment of Funds Advanced. Any amounts expended by Lender in
the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall (except to the degree governed by a specific provision to the
contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) be due and payable
from Borrower to Lender ten (10) Business Days after Lender's demand therefor,
together with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the
Note) from the date incurred by Lender and at the Default Interest Rate (x)
commencing ten (10) Business Days after Lender's demand or (y) if applicable,
following the maturity or acceleration of the Loan, until paid. Lender shall
provide to Borrower copies of invoices, statements or other records
documenting such amounts to the extent available to Lender.


         10.5  Rights Cumulative, No Waiver. All rights, powers and remedies of
Lender provided in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents may be
exercised at any time by 

                                       55
<PAGE>
 
Lender and from time to time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any such breach or default, are cumulative and not exclusive, may
be pursued singularly, successively, or together at the sole discretion of
Lender, and shall be in addition to any other rights, powers or remedies
provided by law or equity. The failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or a release thereof. Lender's
exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Event of
Default unless all amounts then due and payable to Lender under the Loan
Documents are repaid and Borrower has cured all other Events of Default. No
waiver shall be implied from any failure of Lender to take, or any delay by
Lender in taking, action concerning any Event of Default or failure of condition
under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or
unrelated Event of Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under
any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its
specific terms.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


         11.1 No Third Parties Benefited. No person other than Lender and
Borrower and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of
action under any of the Loan Documents.


         11.2 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be in writing and telecopied (with
a confirmation copy sent by overnight courier), mailed, messengered or sent by
overnight delivery service to the appropriate party at its telecopy number or
address set forth below (subject to change from time to time by written notice
to all other parties to this Agreement). All such notices and communications
shall be effective (a) upon receipt, when delivered by hand or overnight
delivery service, or if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the
expiration of three (3) days after the deposit in the United States Postal
Service mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the address of Borrower or Lender
at the address specified; provided, however, that non-receipt of any
communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party
was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be
deemed receipt of such communication, and (b) upon transmission, when delivered
by telecopy to the specified telecopy number (if a confirmation copy is also
sent by overnight courier).

         11.3 Payment of Costs; Reimbursement to Lender. Borrower shall pay all
costs and expenses of every character reasonably incurred in connection with the
closing or administration of the Loan or otherwise attributable or chargeable to
Borrower as the owner of the Properties, including, without limitation,
appraisal fees, recording fees, documentary, stamp, mortgage or intangible
taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, title policy premiums and title search
fees, uniform commercial code/tax lien/litigation search fees, escrow fees and
reasonable attorneys' fees. Lender shall provide to Borrower copies of invoices,
statements or other records documenting such amounts to the extent available to
Lender. If Borrower defaults in any such payment, which default is not cured
within any applicable grace or cure period, Lender may pay the same and Borrower
shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such costs and expenses incurred or
paid by Lender, together with such interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate
from and after the date of Lender's making such payment until reimbursement
thereof by Borrower. Any such sums disbursed by Lender, together with such
interest thereon, shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by the
Mortgages and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the
Loan by the Note. Without limiting or waiving any other rights and remedies of
Lender hereunder, if Borrower fails to perform any of its covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and
such failure is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, or if any
action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy,
insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding) is
commenced which might affect Lender's interest in the Properties or Lender's
right to enforce its security, then Lender may, at its option, with or without
notice to Borrower, make any appearances, disburse any sums and take any actions
as may be necessary or desirable to protect or enforce the security of the
Mortgages or to remedy the failure of Borrower to perform its covenants and
agreements (without, however, waiving any default of Borrower). Borrower agrees
to pay on demand all expenses of Lender incurred with respect to the foregoing
(including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel),
together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and after the
date on which Lender incurs such expenses until reimbursement thereof by
Borrower. Any such expenses so incurred by Lender, together with interest
thereon as provided above, shall be additional indebtedness of Borrower secured
by the Mortgages and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part
of the Loan. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid
shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion. This Section shall
not be construed to require Lender to incur any expenses, make any appearances
or take any actions.


         11.4 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of Borrower and Lender
under this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times
remain, solely that of borrower and lender; and Lender neither undertakes nor
assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with
respect to any of the Properties. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents: (a) Lender is not, and shall not be
construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter-ego, manager, controlling person
or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower, and Lender
does not intend to ever assume such status; (b) Lender does not intend to ever
assume any responsibility to any person for the quality, 

                                       57
<PAGE>
 
suitability, safety or condition of any of the Properties; and (c) Lender
shall not be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or
decisions of Borrower. Lender shall not be directly or indirectly liable or
responsible for any loss, claim, cause of action, liability, indebtedness,
damage or injury of any kind or character to any person or property arising from
any construction on, or occupancy or use of, the Properties, whether caused by
or arising from: (i) any defect in any building, structure, grading, fill,
landscaping or other improvements thereon or in any on-site or off-site
improvement or other facility therein or thereon; (ii) any act or omission of
Borrower or any of Borrower's agents, employees, independent contractors,
licensees or invitees; (iii) any accident in or on the Properties or any fire,
flood or other casualty or hazard thereon; (iv) the failure of Borrower, any of
Borrower's licensees, employees, invitees, agents, independent contractors or
other representatives to maintain any of the Properties in a safe condition; and
(v) any nuisance made or suffered on any part of any of the Properties.

         11.5 Delay Outside Lender's Control. Lender shall not be liable in any
way to Borrower or any third party for Lender's failure to perform or delay in
performing under the Loan Documents (and Lender may suspend or terminate all or
any portion of Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to
perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based
upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local
authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott
or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of
Lender deemed probable), or from any act of God or other cause or event beyond
Lender's control.


         11.6 Attorneys' Fees. In the event legal action, suit or any proceeding
is commenced between Borrower and Lender regarding their respective rights and
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to damages or other
relief, costs and expenses, attorneys' fees and court costs. As used herein the
term "prevailing party" shall mean the party which obtains the principal relief
it has sought, whether by compromise settlement or judgment. If the party which
shall have commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding shall dismiss
or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party
shall be deemed the prevailing party.


         11.7 Loan Sales and Securitization; Disclosure of Information. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender may include all or portions of the Loan in one or more
future securitizations (collectively, the "Securitization"). Borrower shall
cooperate in good faith with Lender in effecting any such Securitization and in
implementing all requirements imposed by any Rating Agency involved in any
Securitization including, without limitation, all changes to the Loan,
including, but not limited to, any modifications to any documents evidencing or
securing the Loan secured hereby; provided, however, no such modification shall
amend the Initial Interest Rate or Extended Term Interest Rate payable under the
Note, the Anticipated Repayment Date or the Maturity Date, the amortization
schedule of the Note or any economic or other material term of the Loan.
Borrower will also agree to cooperate with Lender in connection with any
Securitization as required by any of the Rating Agencies or as reasonably
requested by Lender, in connection with Loan Document preparation, due
diligence, Lender's obtaining ratings and preliminary evaluations from all such
Rating Agencies or Lender's preparation of offering materials. Borrower
acknowledges that such cooperation may include, if necessary, Borrower
providing, at Borrower's expense, audited financials as well as updated
financial and other information on Borrower and the Properties. Reference in
this Agreement to the downgrade, disqualification or withdrawal of ratings by
the Rating Agencies shall be deemed 

                                       58
<PAGE>
 
to refer to the Rating Agencies which have rated or, as indicated by
Lender, shall rate the Securitization securities. Lender shall be permitted to
share all information provided to Lender in connection with the Loan with the
investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms, Rating Agencies and other
third-party advisors involved with any such Securitization. Lender and all such
third-party advisors shall be entitled to rely on any information supplied by,
or on behalf of, Borrower or Guarantor. Borrower and Guarantor shall indemnify
Lender and such third-parties, and any of their respective "controlling" persons
(as defined under the securities laws) from any loss, claim, cost, damage or
expense incurred by such parties and any of their respective "controlling"
persons that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such information or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required or necessary in order to make the statements in such
information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Borrower further acknowledges that any item submitted to Lender in
connection with the Loan may be delivered to a purchaser of securities or other
interest in the Loan in connection with the Securitization. All obligations of
Borrower and/or Guarantor under the Loan Documents to indemnify Lender shall
also run to the benefit of any purchaser of the Loan or interests therein in the
secondary market who has been identified by Lender (whether or not the identity
of such purchaser is known to Borrower prior to the Closing Date).

         11.8 Certain Rights of Lender. Without affecting Borrower's liability
for the payment of any of the Loan, Lender may from time to time and without
notice to Borrower: (a) release any person liable for the payment of the Loan;
(b) accept additional real or personal property of any kind as security or
alter, substitute or release any property securing the Loan; (c) reconvey all or
any part of the Properties; (d) consent in writing to the making of any
subdivision map or plat thereof; (e) join in granting any easement therein; or
(f) enter into any agreement to subordinate the lien of any Loan Document.


         11.9 Waiver; Discontinuance of Proceedings. Lender may waive any single
Event of Default by Borrower hereunder without waiving any other prior or
subsequent Default or Event of Default. Lender may remedy any Event of Default
by Borrower hereunder without waiving the default remedied. Neither the failure
by Lender to exercise, nor the delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power
or remedy upon any Event of Default by Borrower hereunder shall be construed as
a waiver of such default or as a waiver of the right to exercise any such right,
power or remedy at a later date. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy
hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or
waiver of any provision hereof nor consent to any departure by Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. No notice to nor
demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Acceptance by Lender
of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on any of the Loan
shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way affect
the existence of an Event of Default hereunder. In case Lender shall have
proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon
the same for any reason, Lender shall have the unqualified right to do so and,
in such an event, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their 

                                       59
<PAGE>
 
former positions with respect to the Loan, the Loan Documents, the
Properties and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of
Lender shall continue as if the same had never been invoked.

         11.10 Application of the Proceeds of the Note. To the extent that
proceeds of the Note are used to pay indebtedness secured by any outstanding
lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against any of the
Properties, such proceeds have been advanced by Lender at Borrower's request and
Lender shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens
owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests,
charges or encumbrances, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests,
charges or encumbrances are released.


         11.11 Tax Service. Lender is authorized to secure in Lender's
reasonable discretion, at Borrower's expense, a tax service contract with a
third party vendor which shall provide property tax payment information on the
Properties satisfactory to Lender.


         11.12 Severability. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be
deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full
force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been a
part of the Loan Documents.


         11.13 Heirs, Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement and of
the other Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors and assigns of the parties (including, but not limited to, any
purchaser of the Loan or any interests therein in connection with any
Securitization or otherwise). The foregoing sentence shall not be construed to
permit Borrower to assign the Loan except as otherwise permitted under this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.


         11.14 Time. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this
Agreement.


         11.15 Headings. All Article, Section or other headings appearing in
this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents are for convenience of
reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement and any of
the other Loan Documents.

         11.16 Governing Law. The Note, this Agreement, and each of the other
Loan Documents (unless otherwise provided in such other Loan Documents) shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without reference to conflicts of law rules. It is the intent of the parties
hereto that the provisions of Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of
the State of New York apply to this Agreement. Accordingly, in all respects,
including, without limitation, matters of construction, validity, enforceability
and performance, this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and the
obligations arising hereunder and thereunder shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York applicable to contracts
made and performed in such state, and any applicable law of the United States of
America, except that at all times the provisions for enforcement of the power of
sale granted under the Mortgages and the creation, perfection and enforcement of
the security interests created pursuant thereto and hereunder and pursuant to
the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the
laws of the state where the 

                                       60
<PAGE>
 
Property is located. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any claim to assert that the law of any jurisdiction
other than New York governs this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents.


         11.17 Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of: (a) any state or federal court sitting in the state of New
York, over any suit, action or proceeding, arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the Note or the Loan; and (b) any state court sitting in the county
of the state where the applicable Property is located over any suit, action or
proceeding, brought by the trustee or Lender related to the exercise of the
power of sale under the applicable Mortgage or any action brought by Lender to
enforce its rights with respect to the Property. Borrower irrevocably waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Borrower may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding
brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

         11.18 Integration: Interpretation. The Loan Documents contain or
expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all current or prior
negotiations or agreements, written or oral. The Loan Documents shall not be
modified except by written instrument executed by all parties. Any reference in
any of the Loan Documents to a Property or Properties shall include all or any
part of such Property or Properties. Any reference to the Loan Documents
includes any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by
Lender in writing.

         11.19 Joint and Several Liability. The liability of all persons and
entities obligated in any manner under this Agreement and any of the Loan
Documents shall be joint and several.

         11.20 Counterparts. This Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents
(except for the Note) may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all
such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         11.21 Advertising. Lender is authorized to state in advertising or
other press releases the fact that the type and amount of financing under the
Loan has been provided by Lender for Borrower on the Properties.

         11.22 Maximum Interest. The provisions of this Agreement and of all
other Loan Documents between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so
that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of demand or
acceleration of the maturity of the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid, or
agreed to be paid ("Interest"), to Lender for the use, forbearance or retention
of the money loaned under the Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, performance or fulfillment
of any provision hereof or of any agreement between Borrower and Lender shall,
at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, exceed
the limit for Interest prescribed by law or otherwise transcend the limit of
validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be
performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to such limit, and if, from any
circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed
Interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount
equal to any excessive

                                       61
<PAGE>
 
Interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing under
the Note in the inverse order of its maturity (whether or not then due) or, at
the option of Lender, be paid over to Borrower, and not to the payment of
Interest. All Interest (including any amounts or payments deemed to be Interest)
paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period
until payment in full of the principal balance of the Note so that the Interest
thereon for such full period will not exceed the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law. This Section will control all agreements between Borrower and
Lender.


         11.23 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION
THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
(AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT
EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OR CONDUCT, COURSE
OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING,
AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL
BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT
THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

OPTION TO PURCHASE OR RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL]


                  [WHEREAS, the Lease contains provisions granting Lessee [an
option to purchase the Property] [a right of first refusal or first offer to
purchase the Property] (the "Option"); and]


                  WHEREAS, by making a loan, Lender has or is about to become
the owner of an indebtedness and holder of a certain Note, secured by a Deed of
Trust, Assignment of Leases and 

                                      F-1
<PAGE>

"Security Instrument"), to be recorded in the Official Records of __________
County, California, constituting a first lien upon the Property, and secured by
an assignment of Lessor's interest in the Lease as more particularly set forth
in a certain Assignment of Leases and Rents; and

                  WHEREAS, Lender desires that the Lease be subordinated to the
Security Instrument, and that Lessee agree to attorn to the purchaser at
foreclosure of the Security Instrument in the event of such foreclosure or to
Lender in the event of collection of the rent by Lender; and


                  WHEREAS, Lessee is willing to agree to attorn if Lender will
recognize Lessee's rights under the Lease.


                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, terms,
conditions and agreements herein contained, and in consideration of other good
and valuable consideration, each to the other, the sufficiency and receipt of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree, covenant and warrant as
follows:


                  1. That the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the
Lease and the rights of the Lessee thereunder, [ADD FOLLOWING BRACKETED LANGUAGE
IF LEASE CONTAINS OPTION: including, but not limited to, Lessee's Option under
section _____ of the Lease], are and will continue to be subordinate to the
Security Instrument, and the lien thereof, and to any renewal, substitution,
extension or replacement thereof.


                  2. So long as (i) Lessee is not in default (beyond any period
given Lessee to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or
in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants,
provisions or conditions of the Lease on Lessee's part to be performed or
observed, (ii) Lessee is not in default under this Agreement and (iii) the Lease
is in full force and effect: (a) Lessee's possession of the Premises and
Lessee's rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals
thereof which may be affected in accordance with any option therefor which is
contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Lender,
and Lessee's occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender for any
reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or
renewals thereof and (b) Lender will not join Lessee as a party defendant in any
action or proceeding to foreclose the Security Instrument or to enforce any
rights or remedies of Lender under the Security Instrument which would cut-off,
destroy, terminate or extinguish the Lease or Lessee's interest and estate under
the Lease (except to the extent that Lessee's right to receive or set-off any
monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Lender's
predecessors-in-interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Lender or
any of Lender's successors-in-interest).


                  3. (A) After notice is given by Lender that the Security
Instrument is in default and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to
Lender, Lessee will attorn to Lender and pay to Lender, or pay in accordance
with the directions of Lender, all rentals and other monies due and to become
due to Lessor under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises consistent
with applicable law; and such payments shall be made regardless of any right of
set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Lessee may have against Lessor,
whether as the tenant under the Lease or otherwise.

                                      F-2
<PAGE>
 
                 (B) In addition, if Lender (or its nominee or designee) shall 
succeed to the rights of Lessor under the Lease through possession or
foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases
the Premises upon foreclosure (or following foreclosure if such purchase is in
connection with the overall foreclosure transaction) of the Security Instrument,
Lessee shall attorn to Lender (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser
(Lender, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, each being a
"Successor-Lessor"), and recognize Successor-Lessor as Lessee's landlord under
the Lease. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the
execution of any further instrument; however, at the request of
Successor-Lessor, Lessee shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that
Successor-Lessor may reasonably request consistent with this Agreement to
further evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, the Lease shall continue
in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between
Successor-Lessor and Lessee upon all terms, conditions and covenants as are set
forth in the Lease, except that Successor-Lessor shall not:

                     (i)   be liable for any previous act or omission of Lessor
under the Lease;

                     (ii)  be subject to any off-set, defense or counterclaim
which shall have theretofore accrued to Lessee against Lessor;

                     (iii) be bound by any material modification or amendment to
the Lease or by any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent for more than
one (1) month which Lessee might have paid to Lessor, unless such modification
or amendment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Lender or such
prepayment is expressly provided for in the Lease or shall have been expressly
approved in writing by Lender; and

                     (iv)  be liable for any security deposited under the Lease
unless such security has been physically delivered to Lender.


[ADD FOLLOWING LANGUAGE IF LEASE CONTAINS OPTION WHICH PROVIDES TENANT WITH A
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OR FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY:


                 (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2,
3(A) or 3(B) above, Lessee and Lender agree that, in the event title to the
Premises and the landlord's interest in the Lease are transferred to a 
Successor-Lessor through foreclosure action, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, the Lease shall be automatically deemed amended
without the need for any further action by Successor-Lessor or Lessee to provide
that Section [___] of the Lease shall not apply to Successor-Lessor's first
completed sale to a bona-fide third party purchaser of the Premises, but shall
thereafter become effective and shall apply to any subsequent sale of the
Premises (excluding any transfers through foreclosure action, delivery of a 
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar transfers.]

[ADD FOLLOWING LANGUAGE IF LEASE CONTAINS AN ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION
PROVISION WHICH IS BINDING UPON LESSOR'S LENDER:


                 (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2,
3(A) or 3(B) above, Lessee and Lender agree that, in the event title to the
Premises and the

                                      F-3
<PAGE>
 
landlord's interest in the Lease are transferred to a Successor-Lessor
through foreclosure action, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, any environmental/hazardous materials indemnity and/or reimbursement
provisions under the Lease shall not be applicable to, or enforceable against, a
Successor-Lessor with respect to any matters which occurs prior to
Successor-Lessor's ownership of the Premises or acquisition of the landlord's
interest in the Lease. [Lessee reserves and is not hereby waiving any right to
proceed against Lessor for any rights it may have, if any, with respect to any
environmental/hazardous materials indemnity and/or reimbursement claims which
Lessee may have against Lessor under the Lease.]]

                  4. Lessee shall promptly notify Lender of any default by
Lessor under the Lease and of any act or omission of Lessor which would give
Lessee the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total
eviction. In the event of a default by Lessor under the Lease which would give
Lessee the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel
or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event
of any other act or omission of Lessor which would give Lessee the right to
cancel or terminate the Lease, Lessee shall not exercise such right (i) until
Lessee has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Lender and
(ii) unless Lender has failed, within thirty (30) days after Lender receives
such notice, to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default,
act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied
by Lender within such thirty (30) day period, until a reasonable period for
remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving
of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled
under the Security Instrument to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall
in no event be less than the period to which Lessor would be entitled under the
Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that
Lender shall with due diligence give Lessee written notice of its intention to
and shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. If
Lender cannot reasonably remedy a default, act or omission of Lessor until after
Lender obtains possession of the Premises, Lessee may not terminate or cancel
the Lease or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or
omission until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy
after Lender secures possession of the Premises.


                  5. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Lender
shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other
instrument to which Lender may be a party, be or become subject to any liability
or obligation to Lessee under the Lease or otherwise.


                  6. All notices, demands, requests and other communications
made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be properly given and deemed
delivered on the date of delivery if sent by personal delivery or nationally
recognized overnight courier and on the third business day following mailing if

                            Reserve Calculations for
                             Cash Management Periods




Reserves would be paid monthly; however the formula for each Reserve, as set
forth below, would be determined on the commencement of the Cash Management
Period and each year thereafter.


For all Reserves:

CPI =    Average annual CPI (for the period since the Closing Date)

n =      Number of years since the Closing Date.

S.F. =   Total square footage of properties securing the loan at the time of
calculation, excluding square feet of ground lease properties.


R =      Rollover equal to square footage of space by property type with leases
maturing over the next 12 months




For Replacement Reserves:

                  [$.15 x ((1+CPI)/n/) x S.F.]/12


For Tenant Improvement Reserves:

                  [[T x (1 + CPI) /n/] x R]/12


Tenant Improvements per square foot for each property type, as described on
Schedule 1, are:


Industrial:              TI =         $1.40 PSF

Retail:                  TR =         $7.50 PSF

Office:                  TO =        $12.00 PSF

Ground Lease:            N/A


For Leasing Commission Reserves:


                  [[C x (1 + CPI) /n/] x R]/12


Leasing Commissions per square foot for each property type, as described on
Schedule 1, are: (Average Underwritten Market Rent PSF x Average Lease Term x
5%)


Industrial:              CI =         $1.90 PSF


Retail:                  CR =         $5.90 PSF


Office:                  CO =         $6.80 PSF


Ground Lease:            N/A
