Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
a. Proposed Merger and Exchange
----------------------------
Public Storage Properties XI, Inc. (PSP11) and American Office Park
Properties, Inc. (AOPP) have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to merge,
pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and
among PSP11, AOPP and Public Storage, Inc. (PSI) dated as of December 17, 1997.
AOPP, an affiliate of PSI, owns and operates commercial properties directly and
through a consolidated partnership. Upon the merger of AOPP into PSP11, each of
the 1,819,937 outstanding shares of PSP11's common stock series A (other than
shares held by holders of PSP11's common stock series A ("Series A
Shareholders") who have properly exercised dissenters' rights under California
law) would continue to be owned by the Series A Shareholders or converted into
the right to receive cash as follows: (i) with respect to up to 20% of the
outstanding common stock series A of PSP11, $20.50 in cash and (ii) the balance
of the outstanding common stock series A of PSP11 would continue to be owned by
the Series A Shareholder. In the merger, (i) each share of PSP11's common stock
series B and each share of PSP11's common stock series C would be converted into
.8641 shares of PSP11's common stock series A (or up to 20% in cash ) and (ii)
each share of AOPP's capital stock will be converted into 1.18 shares of PSP11's
common stock series A ( or up to 20% in cash ). After the merger, PSP11 would
have approximately 11,903,000 outstanding shares of common stock series A
(assuming no cash elections, with approximately an additional 7,649,000 shares
reserved for issuance upon conversion of partnership interests of AOPP's
consolidated partnership into PSP11's common stock series A. After the merger,
the ownership of PSP11 by public shareholders will be reduced from approximately
63% to 13% while that of PSI will increase from 37% to 41% (assuming no cash
elections and no conversion of partnership interests). Concurrently with the
merger, PSP11 will exchange 13 mini-warehouses for 11 commercial properties
owned by PSI. The merger is conditioned on, among other requirements, PSP11's
receipt of a fairness opinion from a financial advisor and approval by PSP11's
shareholders. After the merger, PSP11 will be a self-managed and self-advised
REIT which will own and operate directly and through a consolidated partnership
64 commercial properties (including three properties under contract) located in
10 states with approximately 7.4 million net rentable square feet of space and,
in addition, will manage, for a fee, 36 commercial properties. It is expected
that the merger would close in the first or second quarter of 1998.
For further information regarding the merger, see the Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto
and is incorporated herein by this reference.

(1) The unaudited pro forma data was prepared to reflect the proposed merger
(the "Merger") of American Office Park Properties, Inc. ("AOPP") and Public
Storage Properties XI, Inc. ("PSP11"). Under the Merger Agreement:
* AOPP will merge into PSP11.
* Each outstanding share of PSP11 Common Stock will continue to be owned
by current holders or converted into the right to receive $20.50 in
cash. The amount of cash elections (the "Cash Elections") will be
limited to 20% of the total outstanding shares of PSP11. If a PSP11
shareholder does not elect cash, he or she will continue to own PSP11
Common Stock.
* Each share of PSP11 Common Stock Series B and each share of PSP11
Common Stock Series C will be converted into either .8641 share of
PSP11 Common Stock or the right to receive $17.71 in cash (up to 20%
of the outstanding Series B and Series C), at the option of the
shareholders. All of the Series B and Series C shareholders have
indicated that they intend to elect PSP11 Common Stock in the Merger.
* Each share of AOPP Common Stock will be converted into either 1.18
shares of PSP11 Common Stock or the right to receive $24.19 in cash
(up to 20% of the outstanding AOPP Common Stock), at the option of an
AOPP shareholder. All of the AOPP shareholders have indicated that
they intend to elect PSP11 Common Stock in the Merger.
* Concurrent with the Merger, PSP11 will exchange 11 mini-warehouses and
two properties that combine mini-warehouse and commercial space for 11
commercial properties owned by Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI").
The Merger will be treated as a reverse merger whereby AOPP will be treated as
the accounting acquirer using the purchase method. This has been determined
based upon the following:
* The business focus post Merger will continue to be that of AOPP's
which includes the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial
properties. Prior to the Merger, PSP11's business focus has been
primarily on the ownership and operation of its mini-warehouse
properties which represent approximately 88% of its portfolio.
* Following the Merger, assuming completion of all pending AOPP
transactions the public shareholders of PSP11 will own approximately
7% of the outstanding shares. After the Merger PSP11's interest in the
Operating Partnership, assuming completion of all proposed
transactions, will be approximately 65%.
In addition to the proposed Merger, the pro forma data reflects the following
AOPP transactions:
1. On January 2, 1997, AOPP formed a partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"); concurrent with the formation of the Operating
Partnership (i) the Operating Partnership acquired 26 commercial
properties from PSI and affiliated entities in exchange for 4,859,000
units of limited partnership ("OP Units"), (ii) AOPP acquired nine
commercial properties from PSI in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock of AOPP and (iii) AOPP contributed these nine
commercial properties to the Operating Partnership for 1,000,000 OP
Units. In addition, AOPP contributed its property management operations
and other net assets to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
829,500 OP Units.
2. In April, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired four commercial
properties from PSI in exchange for 1,235,500 OP Units.
3. On July 31, 1997, AOPP acquired two commercial properties from an
unaffiliated third party for cash totaling $33,750,000. AOPP raised the
cash for this acquisition by issuing 1,690,000 shares of AOPP Common
Stock to PSI for cash totaling $33,800,000.
4. On September 24, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired one
commercial property from an unaffiliated third party for an aggregate
cost of $10,374,000, consisting of cash $10,050,000 and the issuance of
12,000 OP Units having a value of $324,000.
<PAGE>
5. On December 10, 1997, the Operating Partnership purchased a commercial
property for $3,875,000, consisting of $3,575,000 in cash and the
issuance of 11,111 units having a value of $300,000.
6. In December 1997, AOPP reached agreements in principle to acquire three
commercial properties form unaffiliated third parties for an aggregate
cost of $54,338,000, consisting of cash totaling $19,900,000, the
issuance of 279,200 OP Units having a value of $7,538,000 and the
assumption of $26,900,000 of mortgage debt.
7. On December 24, 1997, AOPP completed a transaction under which AOPP
issued an aggregate of 4,482,852 shares of AOPP common stock and
limited partnership interests convertible into AOPP common stock to a
subsidiary of a state pension fund, and the subsidiary of the state
pension fund, through a merger and contribution, transferred to AOPP
six commercial properties ($118,655,000) and $1,000,000 cash. All of
the limited partnership interests issued in connection with this
transaction have been converted in AOPP common shares. AOPP incurred
approximately $3,300,000 in transaction costs. See Item 5c - Agreement
with Subsidiary of State Pension Plan.
8. On January 13, 1998, the Operating Partnership purchased a commercial
property for $22,643,000, consisting of cash of $22,450,000 and the
issuance of 7,143 OP units having a value of $193,000.
9. On January 23, 1998, AOPP entered into an agreement with a group of
institutional investors under which AOPP would issue up to 5,740,741
shares of AOPP common stock at $27.00 per share in separate tranches.
The first tranche, 1,851,852 shares or $50.0 million, will be issued in
January 1998. The remainder of the shares are to be issued as the funds
are required by AOPP.
(2) Maximum cash elections assumes 20% of the outstanding shares of PSP11
Common Stock Series A elect to take $20.50 in cash in connection with the
Merger.
(3) As a result of the Merger, PSP11 will replace AOPP as the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership. Minority interests represents
ownership of Operating Partnership Units which are not owned by PSP11. The
Operating Partnership Units, subject to certain conditions of the Operating
Partnership Agreement, are convertible into shares of PSP11 Common Stock
Series A on a one-for-one basis. Pro forma Operating Partnership Units
outstanding during each pro forma period and owned by minority interest
totaled 7,649,193.
(4) Primary earnings per share represents the shareholders' rights to
distribution out of the respective period's net income, which is calculated
by dividing net income after reduction for any distributions made to the
holders of the PSP11 Common Stock Series B (holders of the PSP11 Common
Stock Series C are not entitled to cash distributions) by the weighted
average number of shares of PSP11 Common Stock. Fully diluted earnings per
shares assumes conversion of the PSP11 Common Stock Series B and C into
PSP11 Common Stock Series A. In connection with the Merger, the PSP11
Common Stock Series B and C converted into PSP11 Common Stock Series A -
see note (1).
(5) In connection with the reorganization of a partnership which was the
predecessor to PSP11, PSP11 issued PSP11 Common Stock Series A and PSP11
Common Stock Series B and C. The capital structure of PSP11 was designed to
reflect the economic rights of the limited partners and general partners in
the predecessor partnership and the capital shares were distributed to the
limited and general partners in respect of their interests in the
predecessor partnership.
PSP11 Common Stock Series A shares are entitled to 100% of cash
distributions from operations from PSP11 until (a) the sum of (1) all
cumulative dividends and other distributions from all sources to the
holders of PSP11 Common Stock Series A shares of PSP11 and (2) the
cumulative predecessor partnership distributions from all sources with
respect to all units equal (b) the product of $20 multiplied by the number
of the then-outstanding shares of PSP11 Common Stock Series A
("Conversion").
As of September 30, 1997, Conversion will occur with respect to PSP11 when
$5,397,000 in additional distributions are made to holders of PSP11 Common
Stock Series A (assuming no further repurchases of PSP11 Common Stock
Series A).
<PAGE>
(6) Funds from operations (FFO) is defined by PSP11 as net income, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), before
depreciation, amortization and extraordinary or non-recurring items. FFO is
presented because PSP11 considers FFO to be a useful measure of the
operating performance of a REIT which, together with net income and cash
flows, provides investors with a basis to evaluate the operating and cash
flow performances of a REIT. FFO does not take into consideration scheduled
principal payments on debt and capital improvements. Accordingly, FFO is
not necessarily a substitute for cash flow or net income as a measure of
liquidity or operating performance or ability to make acquisitions and
capital improvements or ability to pay distributions or debt principal
payments. Also, FFO as computed and disclosed by PSP11 may not be
comparable to FFO computed and disclosed by other REITs.
Funds from operations is computed as follows:

c. Agreement with Subsidiary of State Pension Plan
-----------------------------------------------
GENERAL. In December 1997, AOPP and the Operating Partnership issued to
Acquiport Corporations (collectively, "Acquiport"), subsidiaries of the New York
State Common Retirement Fund an aggregate of 4,482,852 shares of AOPP common
stock and limited partnership interests convertible into AOPP common stock, and
Acquiport, through a merger and contribution, transferred to AOPP and the
Operating Partnership a total of six commercial properties located in California
and $1,000,000 in cash. These properties were valued at $118,655,000 based on
arm's length negotiation between AOPP and Acquiport resulting in an issuance
price of $26.47 per share of AOPP common stock or an equivalent of $22.43 per
share of PSP11 Common Stock at the exchange ratio for the merger of 1.18. It is
contemplated that all of these properties will be held by the Operating
Partnership. All of Acquiport's limited partnership interests have been
converted into AOPP common stock. The agreement also requires AOPP (PSP11 after
the merger of AOPP into PSP11) to purchase a seventh property from Acquiport,
provided that certain conditions with respect to such property are met within
one year of the acquisition of the six properties. After the merger of AOPP into
PSP11, the agreements between AOPP and Acquiport will be enforceable against
PSP11.
After the merger of AOPP into PSP11, Acquiport would own approximately 46%
of the PSP11 Common Stock (28% upon conversion of all interests in the Operating
Partnership) or, if the full $155,000,000 of common stock are issued to a group
of institutional investors, 29% of the PSP11 Common Stock (18% upon conversion
of all interests in the Operating Partnership).
UNWINDING TRANSACTION. Acquiport has the option to unwind the transaction
if AOPP is not publicly traded within 18 months. Under the agreement, AOPP may
become publicly traded through the merger, an initial public offering of at
least $25 million or other mutually agreeable means. After the merger of AOPP
into PSP11, Acquiport will no longer have the right to unwind the transaction.
REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD; VOTING AGREEMENT. Acquiport has the right to
designate one nominee, and PSI has the right to designate two nominees, to the
Board of Directors of AOPP. After the merger, the size of the Board of Directors
of PSP11 will be increased to seven members: two nominees of PSI and five
independent directors mutually acceptable to PSI and Acquiport. Acquiport and
PSI have agreed to vote their respective shares of AOPP common stock (PSP11
Common Stock after the merger) to support such nominees to the Board. This
voting agreement will further enhance PSI's control of PSP11 after the merger.
<PAGE>
This voting agreement expires at the later of the following dates: (i) when
Acquiport's interest in AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) or PSI's interest in AOPP
is less than 20%, assuming conversion of all interests in the Operating
Partnership or (ii) four years after the date of the transaction with the state
pension plan.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS. AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) has granted certain
registration rights to Acquiport in connection with the shares of AOPP common
stock (PSP11 Common Stock after the merger) acquired by Acquiport.
Approximately one year after AOPP is publicly traded, AOPP (PSP11 after the
merger) will be required to file and maintain a "shelf" registration statement
under the Securities Act for the shares of common stock acquired by Acquiport.
Acquiport will also have the right to demand that AOPP (PSP11 after the merger)
cooperate with Acquiport in underwritten offerings, provided such right may be
invoked not more often than once per year, nor more than twice during the term
of the registration agreement and generally for not less than $50,000,000 of
shares. During any such offering, AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) may be required
to refrain from issuing any securities for six months after completion of such
offering. Acquiport will also have the right, with respect to most registrations
of AOPP common stock (PSP11 Common Stock after the merger) by the applicable
corporation, to include shares owned by Acquiport in such registrations.
Under the registration rights agreement, AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) will
pay all expenses relating to registrations and Acquiport will pay all
underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the sale of its stock. The
registration rights agreement contains other terms (including for
indemnification of the state pension plan and Acquiport) that are generally
customary to registration rights agreements of its type. The registration rights
agreement will expire when the shares owned by Acquiport are freely tradable
without restriction, except that the right to include shares in other
registrations will continue until Acquiport owns less than $25,000,000 of stock
and the right to demand cooperation in underwritten offerings will generally
continue until Acquiport owns less than $50 million of stock.
FUTURE ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK. Until December 31, 1998, AOPP (PSP11
after the merger) has agreed to make reasonable efforts to allow Acquiport to
purchase shares in most underwritten offerings of common stock in order to
maintain its proportionate holdings. Also, if AOPP (PSP11 after the merger)
proposes to issue shares of common stock at less than $22.88 in the case of
PSP11, Acquiport will have the right to purchase a number of shares on the same
proposed terms sufficient for Acquiport to maintain its percentage interest in
AOPP (PSP11 after the merger). This right will terminate when AOPP (PSP11 after
the merger) raises $155,000,000 of common stock in one or more public offerings.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND INDEMNITIES. The agreement for
the acquisition of properties by AOPP contains various representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities generally customary for a transaction of
this type. These provisions will be enforceable against PSP11 after the merger.
PSI'S COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. PSI has agreed with AOPP (PSP11 after the
merger) and Acquiport not to compete in the ownership and operation of
commercial properties of the type owned and operated by AOPP (PSP11 after the
merger). PSI's agreement will not apply to commercial properties currently owned
by PSI. After the merger, PSI's agreement may also be waived as to a particular
transaction by the independent directors of PSP11.
PSI's agreement will expire when Acquiport's interest or PSI's interest in
AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) is less than 7.5%, assuming conversion of all
interests in the Operating Partnership. PSI's agreement will also expire three
years after the merger or when the aggregate net common equity of AOPP (PSP11
after the Merger) and the Operating Partnership exceeds $1 billion.
OTHER PROVISIONS. Prior to AOPP becoming publicly traded through the merger
or otherwise, (i) AOPP has agreed to certain restrictions on its operations and
to issue shares to Acquiport to enable it to maintain its percentage interest in
AOPP and (ii) PSI has granted AOPP certain rights upon a proposed sale by PSI of
shares in AOPP. Also, prior to AOPP becoming publicly traded through the merger
or otherwise, if AOPP grants certain shareholder rights to other investors, it
is required to grant similar rights to Acquiport.
<PAGE>
D. Stock Issuances To Institutional Investors
------------------------------------------
AOPP has entered into an agreement with a group of institutional investors
(ABKB/LaSalle Securities Limited Partnership, Cohen & Steers Capital Management,
Inc., Morgan Stanley Asset Management, Harvard Private Capital Realty, Inc.,
Stanford University, State of Michigan Retirement Systems and The Fidelity REIT
Collective Pool, State Employees' Retirement Fund of the State of Delaware, J.W.
McConnell Family Foundation and Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio) under
which AOPP will issue up to 5,740,741 shares of AOPP common stock at $27 per
share in cash (an aggregate of up to $155,000,000) or an equivalent of $22.88
per share of PSP11 Common Stock at the exchange ratio for the merger of 1.18.
The agreement between AOPP and the institutional investors and the merger are
not conditioned on each other. However, the agreement with the investors will
require AOPP to use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect the merger
(including the property exchange with PSI) and, after the merger, any agreement
between AOPP and the institutional investors will be enforceable against PSP11.
The institutional investors will purchase up to $50,000,000 of AOPP common
stock at an initial funding in January 1998 with the balance of the shares
purchased at subsequent fundings through July 31, 1998. The institutional
investors will be obligated to purchase additional shares only if the properties
to be purchased with the sales proceeds meet certain acquisition criteria
relating to their projected net operating income yield or the properties are
approved by the institutional investors. There can be no assurance that these
criteria will be met or that, even if they are met, any additional shares will
be purchased.
The institutional investors have the right to require that AOPP repurchase
the shares of common stock acquired by the institutional investors if AOPP is
not publicly traded within 18 months. After the merger, the institutional
investors will no longer have this right.
Upon completion of the merger, the institutional investors have the right
to require PSP11 as the surviving corporation in the merger to file and maintain
a "shelf" registration statement under the Securities Act for the shares of
PSP11 Common Stock acquired by the institutional investors in the merger if
necessary for such shares to be freely tradable. As soon as possible after any
purchase by the institutional investors of additional shares, AOPP (or PSP11
after the merger) will be required to file a registration statement for the
resale of these additional shares. If the merger does not occur before April 30,
1998, or in other limited circumstances, the institutional investors will have
the right to require that AOPP file registration statements for the sale of
their shares on up to three occasions and to include with respect to most
registrations of AOPP common stock shares owned by the institutional investors
in such registrations.
Until January 31, 1999, AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) agrees to make
reasonable efforts to allow the institutional investors to purchase shares in
most underwritten offerings of common stock in order to maintain their
proportionate holdings. Also, if AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) proposes to issue
shares of common stock at less than the institutional investors' purchase price,
the institutional investors have the right to purchase a number of shares on the
same proposed terms sufficient for the institutional investors to maintain their
percentage interest in AOPP (PSP11 after the merger). This right terminates when
AOPP (PSP11 after the merger) raises $155,000,000 of common stock in one or more
public offerings. AOPP also agrees to certain additional restrictions on its
capital raising activities until the merger.
The agreement with the institutional investors contains various
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and conditions customary for
a transaction of this type. These provisions, as well as the agreement to issue
shares at subsequent fundings, will be enforceable against PSP11 after the
merger.

AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
("Agreement") is entered into as of this 17th day of December, 1997, by and
among PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES XI, INC., a California corporation ("PSP11"),
AMERICAN OFFICE PARK PROPERTIES, INC., a California corporation ("AOPP") and
PUBLIC STORAGE, INC., a California corporation ("PSI").
A. The parties intend that this Agreement shall amend and restate in its
entirety the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of August 18, 1997
and shall constitute a Plan of Reorganization for purposes of Section
368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The
Plan of Reorganization provides for (i) the merger of AOPP with and into PSP11
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of
California (the "GCLC") and an Agreement of Merger substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Merger Agreement") and (ii) the tax-deferred
like-kind exchange (the "Exchange") in which PSP11 will transfer to PSI the 13
properties listed on Exhibit B hereto (the "PSP11 Exchange Properties") and PSI
will transfer to PSP11 the 11 properties listed on Exhibit C hereto (the "PSI
Exchange Properties").
B. PSP11, AOPP and PSI believe that it is in the best interests of such
corporations and their respective shareholders to enter into and complete this
Agreement and they have approved this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

hereinafter set forth.
2. The Merger and the Exchange.
2.1 Completion of the Merger and the Exchange. At the Effective Time
(as defined below), (i) AOPP will be merged with and into PSP11 (the "Merger")
in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and
the Merger Agreement and (ii) the Exchange will be consummated in accordance
with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. The Merger shall
become effective at the time at which the Merger Agreement, together with the
requisite Officers' Certificates of PSP11 and AOPP, are filed with the
California Secretary of State in accordance with the GCLC (the "Effective
Time"). PSP11 and AOPP are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Constituent Corporations" and PSP11, as the surviving corporation of the
Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation."
2.2 Effect of the Merger and Exchange. At the Effective Time:
2.2.1 Constituent Corporations. The separate corporate existence
of AOPP shall cease and the Surviving Corporation shall thereupon succeed,
without other transfer, to all the rights and property of AOPP and shall be
subject to all the debts and liabilities of AOPP in the same manner as if the
Surviving Corporation had itself incurred them; all rights of creditors and all
liens upon the property of each of the Constituent Corporations shall be
preserved unimpaired, provided that such liens upon property of AOPP shall be
limited to the property affected thereby immediately prior to the Effective
Time; and any action or proceeding pending by or against AOPP may be prosecuted
to judgment, which shall bind the Surviving Corporation, or the Surviving
Corporation may be proceeded against or substituted in its place.
<PAGE>
2.2.2 Articles and Bylaws. Except as amended by the Merger
Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of PSP11, as in effect
at the Effective Time, shall continue to be the Articles of Incorporation and
the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until changed as provided by law and
their respective provisions; provided that such Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws may be amended and restated following the Effective Time in forms
reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation.
2.2.3 Directors. The directors of the Surviving Corporation
immediately following the Merger shall be the following:
(i) Ronald L. Havner, Jr.
Harvey Lenkin
Vern O. Curtis
Jack D. Steele
and
(ii) the other persons listed in the Proxy Statement and
Prospectus provided for in Section 7.5 hereof. Such persons shall

successors are elected and qualified as provided by law and in

Effective Time, a successor will be selected by the remaining
above named individuals.

Corporation immediately following the Merger shall be the following:

Mary Jayne Howard
Such persons shall continue as officers of the Surviving
Corporation until their successors are elected and qualified as provided by law
and in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation.
2.2.5 Name. At the Effective Time, the name of the Surviving
Corporation shall be changed to "PS Business Parks, Inc."
2.3 Common Stock Series A of PSP11. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock Series A ($.01 par value) of PSP11 (the "PSP11 Shares") would continue to
be owned by holders of PSP11 Shares or converted into the right to receive cash
as follows:
2.3.1 Cash Election. At the Effective Time, subject to Section
2.7.1 hereof, each PSP11 Share as to which a cash election has been made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 hereof and has not been revoked,
relinquished or lost pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof (a "Series A Cash Election
Share") shall be converted into and shall represent the right to receive $20.50
in cash. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the registered holders
of Series A Cash Election Shares shall be paid the cash to which they are
entitled hereunder in respect of such Series A Cash Election Shares.
2.3.2 No Cash Election. At the Effective Time, subject to Section
2.12 hereof, each PSP11 Share (other than Series A Cash Election Shares) shall
continue to be owned by the holders of the PSP11 Shares.
2.4 Common Stock Series B and C of PSP11. All outstanding shares of
Common Stock Series B and C ($.01 par value) of PSP11 (the "PSP11 Series B and C
Shares") would be converted into the right to receive cash or PSP11 Shares as
follows:
<PAGE>
2.4.1 Cash Election. At the Effective Time, subject to Section
2.7.2 hereof, each PSP11 Series B and C Share as to which a cash election has
been made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 hereof and has not
been revoked, relinquished or lost pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof (collectively,
the "Series B and C Cash Election Shares") shall be converted into and shall
represent the right to receive $17.71 in cash. As soon as practicable after the
Effective Time, the registered holders of Series B and C Cash Election Shares
shall be paid the cash to which they are entitled hereunder in respect of such
Series B and C Cash Election Shares.
2.4.2 No Cash Election. At the Effective Time, subject to Section
2.12 hereof, each PSP11 Series B and C Share (other than Series B and C Cash
Election Shares) shall be converted into 0.8641 PSP11 Shares. If PSP11 should
split or combine the PSP11 Shares or pay a stock dividend prior to the Effective
Time, such conversion number will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such
action.
2.5 AOPP Shares. All outstanding shares of Common Stock ($.10 par
value) of AOPP (the "AOPP Shares") would be converted into the right to receive
cash or PSP11 Shares as follows:
2.5.1 Cash Election. At the Effective Time, subject to Section
2.7.3 hereof, each AOPP Share as to which a cash election has been made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 hereof and has not been revoked,
relinquished or lost pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof (collectively, the "AOPP
Cash Election Shares" and with the Series A Cash Election Shares, and the Series
B and C Cash Election Shares, the "Cash Election Shares") shall be converted
into and shall represent the right to receive $24.19 in cash. As soon as
practicable after the Effective Time, the registered holders of AOPP Cash
Election Shares shall be paid the cash to which they are entitled hereunder in
respect of such AOPP Cash Election Shares.
2.5.2 No Cash Election. At the Effective Time, subject to Section
2.12 hereof, each AOPP Share (other than AOPP Cash Election Shares) shall be
converted into 1.18 PSP11 Shares. If PSP11 should split or combine the PSP11
Shares or pay a stock dividend prior to the Effective Time, such conversion
number will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such number.
2.6 Procedure for Cash Election. At the time of the mailing of the
Proxy Statement and Prospectus provided for in Section 7.5 hereof, PSP11 will
send to (i) each holder of record of PSP11 Shares and PSP11 Series B and C
Shares at the record date for the PSP11 meeting of shareholders referred to in
Section 7.2.1 hereof and (ii) each holder of record of AOPP Shares at the record
date for the AOPP meeting of shareholders referred to in Section 7.2.2 hereof a
cash election form (the "Form of Election") providing such holder with the
option to elect to receive the cash election payment contemplated by Section
2.3.1, 2.4.1 or 2.5.1 hereof with respect to such holder's shares. Any such
election to receive such cash payment shall have been properly made only if
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Exchange Agent") shall have
received at its designated office, by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the last
business day preceding the day of such meeting of shareholders, a Form of
Election properly completed and accompanied by certificates for the shares to
which such Form of Election relates (or an appropriate guarantee of delivery in
a form and on terms satisfactory to PSP11), as set forth in such Form of
Election. Any Form of Election may be revoked by the person submitting the same
to the Exchange Agent only by written notice received by the Exchange Agent
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the last business day before the day of
the respective meeting of shareholders referred to in Section 7.2.1 or 7.2.2
hereof. In addition, all Forms of Election shall automatically be revoked if the
<PAGE>
Exchange Agent is notified in writing by the parties hereto that the Merger has
been abandoned. If a Form of Election is revoked pursuant to this Section 2.6,
the certificate or certificates or any guarantee of delivery in respect of the
PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares or AOPP Shares to which such Form of
Election relates shall be promptly returned to the person submitting the same to
the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent may determine whether or not elections to
receive cash have been properly made or revoked pursuant to this Section 2.6,
and any such determination shall be conclusive and binding. If the Exchange
Agent determines that any election to receive cash was not properly or timely
made, the PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares covered
thereby shall not be treated as Cash Election Shares, and shall be treated in
the Merger as provided in Section 2.3.2, 2.4.2 or 2.5.2 hereof. The Exchange
Agent may, with the mutual agreement of PSP11 and AOPP, establish such
procedures, not inconsistent with this Section 2.6, as may be necessary or
desirable to implement this Section 2.6.
2.7 Procedure for Proration.
2.7.1 PSP11 Shares.
2.7.1.1 No Proration. If the aggregate number of Series A
Cash Election Shares is 20% or less than the number of PSP11 Shares outstanding
as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders of PSP11 referred to in
Section 7.2.1, then each such Series A Cash Election Share shall be converted in
the Merger into the right to receive $20.50 in cash.
2.7.1.2 Proration. If the aggregate number of Series A Cash
Election Shares exceeds 20%, then each such Series A Cash Election Share shall
be converted in the Merger into the right to receive cash as follows: the number
of Series A Cash Election Shares that shall be converted into the right to
receive $20.50 in cash shall equal the number obtained by multiplying (i) 20% of
the outstanding PSP11 Shares by (ii) a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the number of Series A Cash Election Shares owned by such holder and the
denominator shall be the aggregate number of Series A Cash Election Shares. The
balance of such Series A Cash Election Shares shall be treated in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.3.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
PSP11, in its sole discretion, may allow such Series A Cash Election Shares to
receive $20.50 in cash even if the aggregate number of Series A Cash Election
Shares exceeds 20% of the number of PSP11 Shares outstanding as of the record
date for the meeting of shareholders of PSP11 referred to in Section 7.2.1.
2.7.2 PSP11 Series B and C Shares.
2.7.2.1 No Proration. If the aggregate number of Series B
and C Cash Election Shares is 20% or less than the number of PSP11 Series B and
C Shares outstanding as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders of
PSP11 referred to in Section 7.2.1, then each such Series B and C Cash Election
Share shall be converted in the Merger into the right to receive $17.71 in cash.
2.7.2.2 Proration. If the aggregate number of Series B and C
Cash Election Shares exceeds 20%, then each such Series B and C Cash Election
Share shall be converted in the Merger into the right to receive cash as
follows: the number of Series B and C Cash Election Shares that shall be
converted into the right to receive $17.71 in cash shall equal the number
obtained by multiplying (i) 20% of the outstanding PSP11 Series B and C Shares
by (ii) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Series B and C
Cash Election Shares owned by such holder and the denominator shall be the
aggregate number of Series B and C Cash Election Shares. The balance of such
Series B and C Cash Election Shares shall be treated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.4.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PSP11, in its
sole discretion, may allow such Series B and C Cash Election Shares to receive
$17.71 in cash even if the aggregate number of Series B and C Cash Election
Shares exceeds 20% of the number of PSP11 Shares outstanding as of the record
date for the meeting of shareholders of PSP11 referred to in Section 7.2.1.
<PAGE>
2.7.3 AOPP Shares.
2.7.3.1 No Proration. If the aggregate number of AOPP Cash
Election Shares is 20% or less than the number of AOPP Shares outstanding as of
the record date for the meeting of shareholders of AOPP referred to in Section
7.2.2, then each such AOPP Cash Election Share shall be converted in the Merger
into the right to receive $24.19 in cash.
2.7.3.2 Proration. If the aggregate number of AOPP Cash
Election Shares exceeds 20%, then each such AOPP Cash Election Share shall be
converted in the Merger into the right to receive cash as follows: the number of
AOPP Cash Election Shares that shall be converted into the right to receive
$24.19 in cash shall equal the number obtained by multiplying (i) 20% of the
outstanding AOPP Shares by (ii) a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of AOPP Cash Election Shares owned by such holder and the denominator
shall be the aggregate number of AOPP Cash Election Shares. The balance of such
AOPP Cash Election Shares shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.5.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PSP11, in its sole
discretion, may allow such AOPP Cash Election Shares to receive $24.19 in cash
even if the aggregate number of AOPP Cash Election Shares exceeds 20% of the
number of AOPP Shares outstanding as of the record date for the meeting of
shareholders of AOPP referred to in Section 7.2.2.
2.8 Exchange of Certificates. After the Effective Time, each holder of
a certificate theretofore evidencing outstanding PSP11 Series B and C Shares and
AOPP Shares which were converted into PSP11 Shares pursuant hereto, upon
surrender of such certificate to the Exchange Agent or such other agent or
agents as shall be appointed by the Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to
receive a certificate representing the number of whole PSP11 Shares into which
the PSP11 Shares theretofore represented by the certificate so surrendered shall
have been converted as provided in Section 2.3.2 hereof and cash payment in lieu
of fractional share interests, if any, as provided in Section 2.11 hereof. As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will send a
notice and a transmittal form to each holder of record at the Effective Time of
PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares whose stock shall have been
converted into PSP11 Shares, advising such holder of the effectiveness of the
Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent certificates
evidencing PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares in exchange for
certificates evidencing PSP11 Shares.
2.9 Status Until Surrendered. Until surrendered as provided in Section
2.8 hereof, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Time,
represented PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares (other than Dissenting
Shares (as defined below), if any) will be deemed for all corporate purposes to
evidence ownership of the number of whole PSP11 Shares into which the PSP11
Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares evidenced thereby were converted. However,
until such outstanding certificates formerly evidencing PSP11 Series B and C
Shares and AOPP Shares are so surrendered, no dividend payable to holders of
record of PSP11 Shares shall be paid to the holders of such outstanding
certificates in respect of PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares, but upon
surrender of such certificates by such holders there shall be paid to such
holders the amount of any dividends (without interest) theretofore paid with
respect to such whole PSP11 Shares as of any record date on or subsequent to the
Effective Time and the amount of any cash (without interest) payable to such
holder in lieu of fractional share interests pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.
2.10 Transfer of Shares. After the Effective Time, there shall be no
further registration of transfers of PSP11 Series B and C Shares or AOPP Shares
on the respective corporate records and, if certificates formerly evidencing
such shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled
and exchanged for certificates evidencing PSP11 Shares and cash in lieu of
fractional share interests as herein provided.
<PAGE>
2.11 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other term or provision
of this Agreement, no fractional PSP11 Shares and no certificates or script
therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger.
In lieu of any such fractional share interests, each holder of AOPP Shares or of
PSP11 Series B and C Shares who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional
share will, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares, receive
a whole PSP11 Share if such fractional share to which such holder would
otherwise have been entitled is .5 of a PSP11 Share or more, and such fractional
share shall be disregarded if it represents less than .5 of a PSP11 Share;
provided, however, that, such fractional share shall not be disregarded if such
fractional share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled
represents .5 of 1% or more of the total number of PSP11 Shares such holder is
entitled to receive in the Merger. In such event, such holder shall be paid an
amount in cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest $.01, determined by
multiplying (i) the per share closing price on the American Stock Exchange, Inc.
of the PSP11 Shares at the Effective Time by (ii) the fractional interest.
2.12 Dissenting Shares. PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares and
AOPP Shares held by a holder who has demanded and perfected his right to an
appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 1300 et seq. of the GCLC and
who has not effectively withdrawn or lost his right to appraisal ("Dissenting
Shares") shall not continue to be owned by the holder thereof or converted into
or represent the right to receive cash and/or PSP11 Shares, but the holder
thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 1300 et
seq. of the GCLC. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to
payment for PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares or AOPP Shares pursuant to
these provisions of the GCLC shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving
Corporation in accordance therewith. If any holder of PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series
B and C Shares or AOPP Shares who demands appraisal in accordance with Section
1300 et seq. of the GCLC shall effectively withdraw with the consent of the
Surviving Corporation or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his
right to appraisal with respect to PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares or
AOPP Shares, such shares shall continue to be owned by the holder thereof or
shall automatically be converted into the right to receive PSP11 Shares pursuant
to Section 2.3.2, 2.4.2 or 2.5.2 hereof, as the case may be.
2.13 Assumption of AOPP Options. At the Effective Time, each
outstanding option to purchase AOPP Shares (an "AOPP Option") granted under
AOPP's 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "AOPP Plan") shall be assumed
by PSP11 and, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into, and shall be
deemed to constitute, an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions
applicable to the AOPP Option, the number of shares of PSP11 Shares that the
holder of the AOPP Option would have received in the Merger if the AOPP Option
had been exercised in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, irrespective
of whether the AOPP Option was in fact then exercisable (a "Converted Option").
The exercise price per share of a Converted Option shall be the aggregate
exercise price of the AOPP Option divided by the number of PSP11 Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Converted Option. As soon as practicable after
the Effective Time, PSP11 shall deliver to each holder of an AOPP Option an
appropriate notice setting forth the holder's rights pursuant thereto. PSP11
shall comply with the terms of each AOPP Option and take all corporate action
necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of PSP11 Shares for
delivery upon exercise of the Converted Options.
2.14 Exchange of Deeds. At the Effective Time, (i) PSP11 will receive
from escrow deeds for the PSI Exchange Properties and (ii) PSI will receive from
escrow deeds for the PSP11 Exchange Properties. PSP11 and PSI acknowledge that
the PSP11 Exchange Properties, and the PSI Exchange Properties, have the
respective values set forth in Exhibits B and C hereto. PSP11 and PSI also
acknowledge that the Exchange is intended to qualify, as to each of PSP11 and
PSI, for "like-kind exchange" treatment under Section 1031 of the Code.
<PAGE>
3. Closing.
3.1 Time and Place of Closing. If this Agreement is approved by the
shareholders of PSP11, a meeting (the "Closing") shall take place as promptly as
practicable thereafter at which the parties will exchange certificates and other
documents as required by this Agreement. Such Closing shall take place at such
time and place as PSP11 may designate. The date of the Closing shall be referred
to as the "Closing Date."
3.2 Execution and Filing of Merger Agreement. At or before the Closing
and after shareholder approval by PSP11 and AOPP, PSP11 and AOPP shall execute
and deliver the Merger Agreement, together with the requisite Officers'
Certificates, for filing with the California Secretary of State. The Merger
Agreement, together with the requisite Officers' Certificates, shall be duly
filed with the California Secretary of State in accordance with the GCLC as soon
as practicable following the Closing.
4. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of PSP11. PSP11 represents,
warrants and agrees with AOPP and PSI that:
4.1 Authorization. Subject to approval of this Agreement by the
shareholders of PSP11, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by PSP11 has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary
corporate action of PSP11 and (ii) PSP11 has necessary corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and
to complete the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.2 Organization and Related Matters. PSP11 is a corporation duly
organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
California with all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as and where now owned,
leased, operated or carried on, as the case may be; and is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the
business carried on by it requires such qualification and where the failure to
so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties,
results of operations or financial condition of PSP11. PSP11 has no direct or
indirect equitable or beneficial interest in any other corporation other than
PSCC, Inc.
4.3 Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of PSP11 consists
solely of (i) 2,828,929 shares of Common Stock Series A ($.01 par value),
1,819,937 of which were issued and outstanding as of December 16, 1997, (ii)
184,453 shares of Common Stock Series B ($.01 par value), all of which were
issued and outstanding as of December 16, 1997 and (iii) 522,618 shares of
Common Stock Series C ($.01 par value), all of which were issued and outstanding
as of December 16, 1997 (47,824 of which will be cancelled immediately prior to
the Merger). All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of PSP11
have been duly and validly authorized and issued, and are fully paid and
nonassessable. There are no options or agreements to which PSP11 is a party or
by which it is bound calling for or requiring the issuance of any of PSP11's
capital stock, except (A) the PSP11 Common Stock Series B and C is convertible
into PSP11 Shares in accordance with PSP11's Articles of Incorporation and (B)
as provided in this Agreement.
4.4 Consents and Approvals; No Violation. Assuming approval of the
Merger and of this Agreement by the shareholders of PSP11, neither the execution
and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation by PSP11 of the transactions
contemplated hereby will: (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any
provision of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; (ii) require any consent,
waiver, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to,
any governmental or regulatory authority, except (A) in connection with the
applicable requirements, if any, of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), (B) pursuant to the applicable
<PAGE>
requirements of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, (C) the filing of the Merger Agreement and Officers'
Certificates pursuant to the GCLC and appropriate documents with the relevant
authorities of other states in which PSP11 is authorized to do business, (D) in
connection with any state or local tax which is attributable to the beneficial
ownership of PSP11's real property, (E) as may be required by any applicable
state securities or takeover laws, or (F) where the failure to obtain such
consent, approval, authorization or permit, or to make such filing or
notification, would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on PSP11
or adversely affect the ability of PSP11 to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby; (iii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a
default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration)
under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, license, mortgage,
agreement or other instrument or obligation to which PSP11 is a party or any of
its properties or assets may be bound, except for such violations, breaches and
defaults which, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on
PSP11 or adversely affect the ability of PSP11 to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby; or (iv) assuming the consents, approvals, authorizations or
permits and filings or notifications referred to in this Section 4.4 are duly
and timely obtained or made, violate any order, writ, injunction, decree,
statute, rule or regulation applicable to PSP11 or its properties or assets,
except for violations which would not in the aggregate have a material adverse
effect on PSP11 or adversely affect the ability of PSP11 to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.
4.5 Litigation. There is no litigation, proceeding or governmental
investigation which, individually or in the aggregate, is or may be material and
adverse, pending or, to the knowledge of PSP11, threatened against PSP11 or
involving any of its properties or assets.
4.6 SEC Reports. Since January 1, 1994, PSP11 has filed all forms,
reports and documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
required to be filed by it pursuant to the federal securities laws and the rules
and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, all of which complied in all
material respects with all applicable requirements of the federal securities
laws and such rules and regulations (collectively, the "PSP11 SEC Reports").
None of the PSP11 SEC Reports, including without limitation any financial
statements or schedules included therein, at the time filed contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4.7 Financial Statements. The financial statements included in the
PSP11 SEC Reports complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with prior periods (except
as otherwise noted therein), and present fairly the financial position of PSP11
as of their respective dates, and the results of operations of PSP11 for the
periods presented therein (subject, in the case of the unaudited interim
financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
4.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since January 1, 1997, the
business of PSP11 has been carried on only in the ordinary and usual course and
there has not been any material adverse change in its business, results of
operations or financial condition, or any damage or destruction in the nature of
a casualty loss, whether covered by insurance or not, that would materially and

Surviving Corporation shall thereupon succeed, without other transfer, to all
the rights and property of AOPP and shall be subject to all the debts and
liabilities of AOPP in the same manner as if the Surviving Corporation had
itself incurred them; all rights of creditors and all liens upon the property of
AOPP shall be preserved unimpaired, provided that such liens upon property of

thousand four hundred fifty-three (184,453) shares will
constitute Common Stock Series B and five hundred twenty-two

the California Corporations Code, and shall entitle the holders
thereof to the same rights and privileges, except as expressly
provided in Sections (b) through (d) of this Article III.
ARTICLE II
2.1 Common Stock Series A of PSP11. Each outstanding share of Common
Stock Series A ($.01 par value) of PSP11 (the "PSP11 Shares") would continue to

as follows:
(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.7.1 of the Plan,
each PSP11 Share as to which a cash election has been made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.6 of the Plan and has not been revoked, relinquished
or lost pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Plan (the "Series A Cash Election
Shares") shall be converted into and shall represent the right to receive $20.50
in cash. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the registered holders
of Cash Election Shares shall be paid the cash to which they are entitled
hereunder in respect of such Series A Cash Election Shares.
(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.12 of the Plan,
each PSP11 Share (other than Series A Cash Election Shares) shall continue to be
owned by the holders of the PSP11 Shares.
2.2 Common Stock Series B and C of PSP11. Each outstanding share of
Common Stock Series B and C ($.01 par value) of PSP11 (the "PSP11 Series B and C
Shares") would be converted into the right to receive cash or PSP11 Shares as
follows:
(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.7.2 of the Plan,
each PSP11 Series B and C Share as to which a cash election has been made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 of the Plan and has not been
revoked, relinquished or lost pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Plan (the "Series B
and C Cash Election Shares") shall be converted into and shall represent the
right to receive $17.71 in cash. As soon as practicable after the Effective
Time, the registered holders of Series B and C Cash Election Shares shall be
paid the cash to which they are entitled hereunder in respect of such Series B
and C Cash Election Shares.
<PAGE>
(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.12 of the Plan,
each PSP11 Series B and C Share (other than Series B and C Cash Election Shares)
shall be converted into 0.8641 PSP11 Shares.
2.3 AOPP Shares. Each outstanding share of Common Stock ($.10 par
value) of AOPP (the "AOPP Shares") would be converted into the right to receive
cash or PSP11 Shares as follows:
(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.7.3 of the Plan,
each AOPP Share as to which a cash election has been made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.6 of the Plan and has not been revoked, relinquished or
lost pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Plan (the "AOPP Cash Election Shares") shall
be converted into and shall represent the right to receive $24.19 in cash. As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the registered holders of AOPP
Cash Election Shares shall be paid the cash to which they are entitled hereunder
in respect of such AOPP Cash Election Shares.
(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.12 of the Plan,
each AOPP Share (other than AOPP Cash Election Shares) shall be converted into
1.18 PSP11 Shares.
2.4 Exchange of Certificates. After the Effective Time, each holder of
a certificate theretofore evidencing outstanding PSP11 Series B and C Shares and
AOPP Shares which were converted into PSP11 Shares pursuant hereto, upon
surrender of such certificate to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the
"Exchange Agent") or such other agent or agents as shall be appointed by the
Surviving Corporation, shall be entitled to receive a certificate representing
the number of whole PSP11 Shares into which the PSP11 Series B and C Shares and
AOPP Shares theretofore represented by the certificate so surrendered shall have
been converted and cash payment in lieu of fractional share interests, if any.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will send a
notice and a transmittal form to each holder of PSP11 Series B and C Shares and
AOPP Shares of record at the Effective Time whose stock shall have been
converted into PSP11 Shares, advising such holder of the effectiveness of the
Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the Exchange Agent certificates
evidencing PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares in exchange for
certificates evidencing PSP11 Shares.
2.5 Status Until Surrendered. Until surrendered as provided in Section
2.4 hereof, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Time,
represented PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares (other than Dissenting
Shares (as defined below), if any) will be deemed for all corporate purposes to
evidence ownership of the number of whole PSP11 Shares into which the PSP11
Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares evidenced thereby were converted. However,
until such outstanding certificates formerly evidencing PSP11 Series B and C
Shares and AOPP Shares are so surrendered, no dividend payable to holders of
record of PSP11 Shares shall be paid to the holders of such outstanding
certificates in respect of PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares, but upon
surrender of such certificates by such holders there shall be paid to such
holders the amount of any dividends (without interest) theretofore paid with
respect to such whole PSP11 Shares as of any record date on or subsequent to the
Effective Time and the amount of any cash (without interest) payable to such
holder in lieu of fractional share interests.
2.6 Transfer of Shares. After the Effective Time, there shall be no
further registration of transfers of PSP11 Series B and C Shares and AOPP Shares
on the corporate records and, if certificates formerly evidencing such shares
are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and
exchanged for certificates evidencing PSP11 Shares and cash in lieu of
fractional share interests as herein provided.
2.7 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other term or provision
of this Agreement or the Plan, no fractional PSP11 Shares and no certificates or
script therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the
Merger. In lieu of any such fractional share interests, each holder of AOPP
<PAGE>
Shares or of PSP11 Series B and C Shares who would otherwise be entitled to such
fractional share will, upon surrender of the certificate representing such
shares, receive a whole PSP11 Share if such fractional share to which such
holder would otherwise have been entitled is .5 of a PSP11 Share or more, and
such fractional share shall be disregarded if it represents less than .5 of a
PSP11 Share; provided, however, that such fractional share shall not be
disregarded if such fractional share to which such holder would otherwise have
been entitled represents .5 of 1% or more of the total number of PSP11 Shares
such holder is entitled to receive in the Merger. In such event, such holder
shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest $.01,
determined by multiplying (i) the per share closing price on the American Stock
Exchange, Inc. of the PSP11 Shares at the Effective Time by (ii) the fractional
interest.
2.8 Dissenting Shares. PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares and
AOPP Shares held by a holder who has demanded and perfected a right to an
appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 1300 et seq. of the General
Corporation Law of California (the "GCLC") and who has not effectively withdrawn
or lost such right to appraisal ("Dissenting Shares") shall not continue to be
owned by the holder thereof or converted into or represent the right to receive
cash and/or PSP11 Shares, but the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such
rights as are granted by Section 1300 et seq. of the GCLC. Each holder of
Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series
B and C Shares or AOPP Shares pursuant to these provisions of the GCLC shall
receive payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation in accordance therewith.
If any holder of PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares or AOPP Shares who
demands appraisal in accordance with Section 1300 et seq. of the GCLC shall
effectively withdraw with the consent of the Surviving Corporation or lose
(through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal with respect to
PSP11 Shares, PSP11 Series B and C Shares or AOPP Shares, such shares shall
automatically be converted into the right to receive PSP11 Shares pursuant to
Section 2.1(b), 2.2(b) or 2.3(b) hereof, as the case may be.
2.9 Assumption of AOPP Options. At the Effective Time, each
outstanding option to purchase AOPP Shares (an "AOPP Option") granted under
AOPP's 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "AOPP Plan") shall be assumed
by PSP11 and, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into, and shall be
deemed to constitute, an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions
applicable to the AOPP Option, the number of shares of PSP11 Shares that the
holder of the AOPP Option would have received in the Merger if the AOPP Option
had been exercised in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, irrespective
of whether the AOPP Option was in fact then exercisable (a "Converted Option").
The exercise price per share of a Converted Option shall be the aggregate
exercise price of the AOPP Option divided by the number of PSP11 Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Converted Option. As soon as practicable after
the Effective Time, PSP11 shall deliver to each holder of an AOPP Option an
appropriate notice setting forth the holder's rights pursuant thereto. PSP11
shall comply with the terms of each AOPP Option and take all corporate action
necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of PSP11 Shares for
delivery upon exercise of the Converted Options.

the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall

Surviving Corporation shall determine that any assignments, transfers, deeds or
other assurances are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm, of
record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, title to any property or
rights of AOPP, the officers of either Constituent Corporation are fully
authorized in the name of AOPP or otherwise to execute and deliver such
documents and do all things necessary and proper to vest, perfect or confirm
title to such property or rights in the Surviving Corporation.
3.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to
the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
3.6 Abandonment of Merger. The Constituent Corporations have the power
to abandon the Merger by mutual written consent prior to the filing of this
Agreement with the California Secretary of State.
