ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
     General -- Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in 1977 and
incorporated in Delaware in 1992. Operations are principally conducted through
its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Kennedy-Wilson International, a
California corporation, and K-W Properties, a California corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company's principal executive offices are located
at 530 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 101, Santa Monica, California 90401, and its
telephone number is (310) 314-8400.
 
     The Company provides real estate marketing and brokerage services through
its centrally-controlled international marketing network, primarily for
financial institutions, developers and government agencies. The Company has
offices in Santa Monica, San Francisco, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Jakarta.
Since 1977 the Company has sold over $4 billion of commercial, hotel resort and
residential properties.
 
     Commercial Brokerage -- The Company's commercial business concentrates on
single-seller sealed bid sales and private placement sales of high-end
commercial properties. The division opened offices in New York and Jakarta in
1997, which in addition to the Company's Tokyo and Hong Kong offices provides
greater access to the investment communities in Asia and the eastern U.S.
 
     Auction-Marketing -- The auction-marketing method consists of a broad range
of services including market research and analysis, design and implementation of
a specific marketing plan and a professionally managed auction and closing
service. Auction-marketing provides real property owners with an opportunity to
sell their holdings on one established auction date, thereby increasing
liquidity and avoiding long-term carrying costs. In addition to real estate, the
Company has successfully used its auction-marketing methods for selling
broadband airwaves, personal property, industrial equipment and notes
collateralized by real estate.
 
     Commercial Acquisitions -- The Company acquires selected commercial
properties that can be purchased at a significant discount to replacement cost.
In addition, the Company targets properties with a high value-added potential.
After acquisition, the Company typically implements an aggressive leasing and
capital improvement program aimed at rapid increases in cash flow and resulting
value. The Company may, depending on the availability of capital and its
assessment of risk, form joint ventures with third parties to acquire commercial
properties (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8
hereof).
 
     Residential Acquisitions -- K-W Properties, a wholly-owned subsidiary,
acquires, renovates and disposes of residential and income producing real
estate. These transactions generally arise as an offshoot of the Company's
normal marketing business as clients frequently want to sell property quickly
and with certainty rather than to take the time for an auction or other
marketing program. The Company may, depending on the availability of its capital
and assessment of risk, form partnerships with third parties to acquire the
residential projects. The holding period for residential projects is generally
less than one year, while commercial properties are typically held over one
year.
 
     Note Acquisitions -- The Company, through its subsidiary KWP Financial,
purchases discounted note receivable portfolios, typically from governmental
agencies or financial institutions. The Company then either settles the notes
for cash, restructures them to performing status, or initiates foreclosure
proceedings on these assets secured by real estate.
 
     Backlog -- At December 31, 1997, commissions subject to completion of sales
totaled approximately $2 million, compared to approximately $459,000 at December
31, 1996. Additionally, as of December 31, 1997, the Company had executed
marketing agreements on properties having an estimated aggregate gross value of
real estate sales of approximately $318 million. This compares to approximately
$143 million as of December 31, 1996.
 
     Competition -- The real estate brokerage and auction-marketing industry
within which the Company operates is both highly fragmented and highly
competitive. The Company faces significant competition and must compete with
other commercial and residential real estate brokers and auction companies. Some
of these real estate brokerage companies are significantly larger than the
Company, possess greater financial resources and compete with the Company
directly in the auction market.
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   4
 
     Regulation -- The Company's real estate marketing operations are subject to
various regulations at the Federal, state and local levels as well as the
national level in various countries. The Company, through one of its officers,
must be licensed as a real estate broker in each state in which the Company
operates. State governmental bodies, such as the Department of Real Estate in
California, regulate the operations of the Company conducted under its various
real estate brokerage licenses. Company personnel performing certain functions
in the real estate marketing process must be licensed real estate salespersons
and must work under the supervision of the Company's officer/broker of record.
In certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates and as allowed by
applicable law, the Company associates with real estate brokers licensed in such
jurisdictions. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with
all material licensing requirements in all states and countries in which
licenses are required and in which the Company operates. In various states
including California, governmental entities license individual auctioneers and
administer various regulations governing the activities of auctioneers. The
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all material
licensing requirements in all states in which licenses are required for
auctioneers and in which the Company operates.
 
     Insurance -- The Company currently maintains errors and omissions,
directors' and officers' liability, property, casualty and workers' compensation
insurance, with policy limits which the Company believes are adequate. The
Company periodically reviews and revises such limits.
 
     Employees -- At March 13, 1998, the Company employed approximately 60
full-time and 2 part-time persons compared with 58 full-time and 2 part-time
persons at March 28, 1997. None of the Company's employees are represented by a
collective bargaining agent.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
     The executive and administrative offices of the Company are located at 530
Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 101, Santa Monica, California, and consist of
approximately 9,000 square feet in a four story office building which the
Company purchased in April 1995. In March 1997, the Company sold the 530
Wilshire Blvd property and executed a lease agreement for the office space which
it continues to occupy for approximately $260,000 per year.
 
     The Company also leases space for its regional and branch offices. These
facilities aggregate approximately 6,000 square feet, with an annual aggregate
base rental of approximately $227,000. The leases expire within the next five
years. The Company believes that it will be able to renew any expiring leases or
obtain suitable office space to replace such leased facilities, as necessary,
without any material increase in the Company's rental costs. As described in
Item 1 hereof, the Company acquires and disposes of income producing property in
the ordinary course of its business (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8 hereof).
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is involved in various legal proceedings generally incidental
to its business and routine. While the ultimate disposition of these ordinary
proceedings is not presently determinable, the Company's management believes
that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company and such proceedings, individually or collectively, are not
material.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to effect an
increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock.
This amendment was approved at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on
December 15, 1997 with 79% of the shares voted for and 21% shares abstaining.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
  Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
 
     Commissions were virtually unchanged at $5.9 million from 1996 and down 10%
from $6.5 million in 1995 as a result of a decrease in residential
auction-marketing, both in number of auctions and value of properties sold and a
decline in commission rates due to competitive pressures. Sales of residential
real estate decreased 66% in 1997 compared with 1996 as a result of decreased
sales of residential real estate held for sale. Sales of residential real estate
in 1996 included three significant sales from three condominium projects located
in Hawaii, San Francisco and Los Angeles. This compares to sales of residential
real estate of $10.6 million in 1995. Cost of residential real estate sold
related to these sales also decreased 66% to $5.6 million in 1997 compared to
$16.5 million in 1996 and $10.5 million in 1995. In addition, cost of sales as a
percentage of revenue decreased to 83% in 1997 from 84% in 1996 and 99% from
1995.
 
     Gain on sale of commercial real estate in the amount of $6.3 million for
1997 consists of the sale of four commercial properties in the ordinary course
of business. In 1996 the Company also sold a commercial property, for a net gain
of $1.5 million. There were no commercial property sales in 1995, See Note 3 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
     Gain on restructured notes receivable in the amount of $4 million in 1997
reflects the Company's increased expansion in the acquisition and disposition of
non-performing and under-performing real estate collateralized note receivable
portfolios. The notes are typically purchased at a substantial discount from
government agencies. See Item 1 and Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion.
 
     Commission and marketing expenses decreased 40% in 1997 to $928,000 from
$1.6 million in 1996, which in turn decreased from $2.6 million in 1995.
Commission and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of commission
revenue due to the lower costs associated with commercial brokerage compared
with auctions.
 
     Compensation and related expenses increased by 61% in 1997 from 1996 due to
an increased number of executive employees and increased incentive compensation.
In comparison, compensation decreased 20% in 1996 from 1995 due to the reduced
number of employees resulting from the 1995 sale of a portion of the Company's
Commercial Brokerage Division and Australian subsidiary.
 
     General and administrative expense increased 51% in 1997 to $4.7 million
from $3.1 million in 1996 which in turn decreased from $5.8 million in 1995. The
increase in 1997 was primarily due to increase in occupancy expense from the new
office in New York and corporate office rent, See Item 2. Additionally, legal
expense increased in connection with the collection and restructuring of notes
receivable, leasing and sales of commercial and residential properties.
Consulting and outside services increased primarily in connection with
acquisition of real estate and the evaluation and collection of notes
receivable. Property and liability insurance also increased due to the
acquisition of commercial real estate and construction of residential real
estate projects.
 
     In 1995, the Company sold a portion of its Commercial Brokerage Division,
including European operations, and its Australian subsidiary. As a result, the
Company took a non-cash charge of $6,000,000 to reflect costs associated with
these actions. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of the restructuring.
 
     Year 2000 Compliance -- The inability of computers, software and other
equipment utilizing microprocessors to recognize and properly process
information containing a 2-digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000
Compliance issue. As the year 2000 approaches, such systems may be unable to
accurately process certain date-based information.
 
     As the Company principally relies on third party vendors for its
applications, the Company has communicated with other companies whom it does
significant business to determine their Year 2000 Compliance readiness and the
extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000 issues.
However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which
the Company's systems
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   8
 
rely will be timely converted, or that a failure to convert by another company,
or a conversion that is incompatible with Company's systems, would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
 
     The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 Compliance activities has
not been determined and is not anticipated to be material to its financial
position or results of operations in any given year. These costs and the date on
which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000 modifications and testing
processes are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing
numerous assumptions of future events including the continued availability of
certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However,
there can be no guarantee that the estimates will be achieved and actual results
could differ from those plans.
 
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
     The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997 of
$10.4 million, plus expected cash generated from ongoing real estate marketing
operations, continued sales of real estate owned, collections from notes
receivable, as well as a working capital line of credit, will provide the
Company with sufficient resources to fund its present and reasonably foreseeable
operations. The Company has not historically required major capital expenditures
to support its marketing operations. However, the Company believes that its
ability to make advances to its clients' marketing budgets provides a
competitive advantage. The Company's liquidity may in the future be adversely
affected by lower commission rates, or increased contributions to marketing
budgets, caused by competition from other marketing companies. Liquidity could
also be adversely affected by the Company's ability to sell real estate it has
acquired.
 
     As discussed in Notes 7 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company is obligated under various notes payable and mortgages
payable, which are secured by notes receivable and real estate held for sale.
Approximately $4.8 million of notes payable and $639,000 of mortgages are due in
1998. The Company anticipates that these amounts will be repaid from proceeds
from the sale of the related collateral.
 
     To the extent the Company engages in additional strategic investments,
including real estate and note portfolio acquisitions, the Company may need to
obtain third party financing which could include bank financing or the public
sale or private placement of debt or equity securities. The Company has
historically been successful in arranging the required financing for its
investment activities. The increase in 1997 in the Company's acquisition line of
credit to $10 million, the additional lines of credit secured in 1997, and the
bank financing obtained for 1997 acquisitions, support the Company's belief that
it should be able to continue to secure the capital resources necessary to fund
its investments. (See Notes 8,9 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).
 
  Forward Looking Statements
 
     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risk
and uncertainty. Investors and potential investors in the Company's securities
are cautioned that a number of factors could adversely affect the Company's
ability to obtain these results, including (a) the inability to lease currently
vacant space in the Company's properties; (b) the inability of tenants to pay
contractual rent and other expenses; (c) bankruptcies of tenants; (d) increases
in certain operating costs at the Company's properties; (e) decreases in rental
rate available from tenants leasing space in the Company's properties; (f)
unavailability of financing for acquisitions, development and redevelopment of
properties by the Company; (g) increases in interest rates; and (h) a general
economic downturn resulting in lower rents, rent delinquencies, and other
downward pressure on commissions, occupancies and rents at properties.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Santa Monica, California
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"), as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in
the Index at Item 14. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. and subsidiaries at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
   
                      THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
    
 
   
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    
 
     The Company -- Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, which was
incorporated in 1992. Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(the "Company") provide real estate brokerage and marketing services throughout
the United States, and Asia, primarily to financial institutions, developers and
government agencies. The Company also acquires, renovates and resells
residential and commercial real estate; invests in non-performing note
receivable portfolios; and invests in various real estate joint ventures.
 
     Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and
partnerships in which the Company has a controlling interest. For foreign
operations, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates,
and income statement items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing
during the year. All significant inter-company transactions have been
eliminated.
 
     Investments in Partnership -- The Company accounts for investments in
partnerships with a non-controlling interest of 50% or less using the equity
method.
 
     Accounting Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Commissions are generally recognized when all services to be provided by
the Company have been performed and title to real property has passed from the
seller to the buyer.
 
     Residential real estate sales revenue and gains on sale of commercial
property are recognized at the close of escrow when title to the real property
passes to the buyer. The Company follows the guidelines for profit recognition
as set forth by Statement of Financial Accounting Statement No. 66 Accounting
for Sales of Real Estate.
 
   
     Gains on notes receivable are recognized ratably upon receipt of cash or a
restructured note including a significant cash component.
    
 
     Basic Net Income Per Share -- In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share, basic income per share
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.
 
   
     The basic weighted average number of shares used to compute net income per
share (restated for the 10 for 1 reverse stock split in 1995 and the 20% stock
dividend in 1997) was 1,356,777, 1,574,855, and 1,602,079 for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The diluted weighted average
number of shares used to compute net income per share were 1,374,951 [and
1,576,435 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For
1995, the diluted per share computation was not applicable.]
    
 
     Cash and Cash Equivalents -- Cash consists of cash and all highly liquid
investments purchased with maturities of three months or less and deposits in
escrow.
 
     Long Lived Assets -- During 1996, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Among other
provisions, the statement changed current accounting practices for the
evaluation of

impairment of long-lived assets. The adoption did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
 
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
     Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -- The carrying amounts
approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
 
     Bank Line of Credit -- The carrying amounts approximate fair value because
of the short maturity and because the interest varies with the prime rate. See
Note 6.
 
     Notes Receivable and Notes Payable -- The carrying amounts approximate fair
value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. See Notes 2 and 7.
 
     Concentration of Credit Risk -- Financial instruments that subject the
Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and notes receivable and
cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large
number of entities composing the Company's customer base and their geographic
dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers.
Cash and cash equivalents are invested in institutions insured by government
agencies. Certain accounts contain balances in excess of the insured limits.
 
     Inflation -- The Company's long-term leases contain provisions designed to
mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on its results from operations. Such
provisions include escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates
during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to
increases in the CPI or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the
Company's leases are for term of less than ten years, which permits the Company
to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates if rents are below then
existing market rates. Many of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay a
pro rata share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real
estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company's exposure
to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
 
     Adoption of Accounting Standards -- In June 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 130 Reporting for
Comprehensive Income and No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information. These Statements are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has not
yet analyzed the impact of adopting these statements.
 
     Reclassification -- Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996
and 1995 balances to conform with the 1997 presentation.
 
NOTE 2 -- NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
     Notes receivable consists primarily of non-performing loan portfolios
acquired from government agencies. The notes are typically secured by real
estate, UCC-1 filings, or are guaranteed by the borrowers.
 
     During 1997, the Company purchased two portfolios of non-performing loans
for approximately $2.4 million. Also during 1997, the Company secured cash
settlements in the amount of approximately $12 million including interest, and
restructured notes receivable in the amount of $1.2 million.
 
NOTE 3 -- REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE
 
     Real estate held for sale is comprised of commercial and residential
properties stated at cost plus additional capital improvements less accumulated
depreciation and amortization of $119,000 and $588,000 at December 31, 1997 and
1996 respectively.

     In July 1997, the Company entered into an agreement for an acquisition
facility of $24 million to be used to purchase loans. $6 million of the facility
will provide 75% to 90% of the total acquisition equity for related investments,
with a rate of LIBOR plus 425 basis points and a 30 to 45% profit participation.
The remaining $18 million will be for debt financing of up to 80% of acquisition
cost with a rate of LIBOR plus 375 basis points. As of December 31, 1997, there

     In May 1997, the Company entered into a loan agreement that provides the
Company with a $6 million credit facility to acquire additional notes receivable
(See Note 2). The outstanding balance as of December 31, 1997 was approximately
$3.8 million. The facility bears interest at Prime plus 1.5% and matures in May
1998.
 
     In 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement that provides the
Company with a $10.0 million credit facility (the "facility") which includes up
to $8.0 million in an acquisition facility and $2.0 million in an unsecured
working capital facility. In July 1997, the line of credit was increased from
$10 million to $12 million. $4 million of the facility is unsecured, and the
remaining $8 million of the facility is secured by real estate owned by the
Company. The actual availability under the secured facility is limited based on
the equity in such real estate. Proceeds from the sale of such secured real
estate are used to pay down the acquisition facility. This facility has a rate
of LIBOR plus 325 basis points. The working capital facility is due in full in
June 1998 and the acquisition facility will be due in full in 18 months from the
date of each advance. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 1998 was
$8,952,000. The principal balance is estimated to be paid in full during 1998.

     The fair value of the stock options granted during 1997 was $470,748. The
fair value of each stock grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions: using the yield on a 5 year
treasury note as the risk-free interest rate; no dividend yield; expected life
of five years; and using historical cost for the volatility. The total number of
stock option shares exercisable at December 31, 1997 was 28,360.
 
     The Company accounts for the plans in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion Number 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized
for the stock option awards. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock
option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date,
consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, the effect on the Company's
net income and earnings per share would have been immaterial.
 
NOTE 14 -- REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
     In 1995, at a Special Meeting of the Stockholders, an amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation effecting a one-for-ten reverse stock
split (the "Reverse Split") was approved. Effective upon such amendment, each

                          CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
                                       OF
                              KENNEDY-WILSON, INC.


         ARTICLE I: NAME

         The name of the Corporation is Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.

         ARTICLE II: DEFINITIONS

         For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated, and all capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section
203(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as in effect on the date
hereof:

                          (A)     "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of
         the Corporation.
 
                          (B)     "Business Combination" shall have the meaning
         ascribed to it in Section 203(c)(3) of the Delaware General
         Corporation Law; provided, however, that for purposes hereof the term
         "interested stockholder" appearing therein shall have the meaning
         ascribed to it in Article II(E) hereof.

                          (C)     "Disinterested Shares" shall mean the shares
         of Voting Stock of the Corporation held by Persons other than an
         Interested Stockholder, and each reference herein to a percentage or
         portion of the Disinterested Shares shall refer to such percentage or
         portion of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of such
         Disinterested Shares.

                          (D)     "Independent Directors" shall mean the
         members of the Board who were directors of the Corporation prior to
         any Person becoming an Interested Stockholder or were recommended for
         election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such
         directors.

                          (E)     "Interested Stockholder" shall mean any
         Person (other than the Corporation and any direct or indirect
         majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that (1) is the Owner of
         5% or more of the outstanding Voting Stock, or (2) is an Affiliate or
         Associate of the Corporation and was the Owner of 5% or more of the
         outstanding Voting Stock at any time within the three-year
<PAGE>   2
         period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be
         determined whether such Person is an Interested Stockholder, or (3) is
         an Affiliate or Associate of a Person described in (1) or (2)
         preceding; provided, however, that the term "Interested Stockholder"
         shall not include (i) any Person who (a) owned shares in excess of the
         5% limitation set forth herein as of the first date upon which shares
         of Voting Stock of the Corporation are held of record or beneficially
         by more than one hundred (100) stockholders and continued to own
         shares in excess of such 5% limitation or would have owned such shares
         but for action by the Corporation or (b) acquired such shares from a
         Person described in (a) above by gift, inheritance or in a transaction
         in which no consideration was exchanged; or (ii) any Person whose
         ownership of shares in excess of the 5% limitation set forth herein is
         the result of action taken solely by the Corporation, provided that
         such Person shall be an Interested Stockholder if thereafter such
         Person acquires additional shares of Voting Stock except as a result
         of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by
         such Person.  For the purpose of determining whether a Person is an
         Interested Stockholder, (1) the Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding
         shall include stock deemed to be owned by the Person through
         application of Section 203(c)(8) of the Delaware General Corporation
         Law, except that the Voting Stock deemed to be outstanding shall not
         include any other unissued stock of the Corporation which may be
         issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or
         upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise,
         and (2) a Person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities
         shall not be deemed to own any Voting Stock acquired through such
         Person's participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting
         until the expiration of 40 days after the date of such acquisition.

                          (F)     "Voting Stock" shall mean stock of the
         Corporation of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors of the Corporation, and each reference herein to
         a percentage or portion of shares of Voting Stock shall refer to such
         percentage or portion of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders
         of such shares.

                 ARTICLE IV: PURPOSE

                 The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act
or activity for which corporations may be organized under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

                 ARTICLE V: AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

                 SECTION 1. Number of Authorized Shares.  The Corporation shall
be authorized to issue two classes of shares of stock to be designated,
respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock"; the total number of shares
of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is
Twenty-Five Million (25,000,000) shares, consisting of Twenty Million
(20,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and Five Million
(5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share.

                 SECTION 2. Common Stock.  All shares of Common Stock shall be
of one class without series and shall be denominated "Common Stock."

                 SECTION 3. Preferred Stock.  Shares of Preferred Stock may be
issued from time to time in one or more series.  Shares of Preferred Stock that
are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation may be
reissued except as otherwise provided by law.  The Board is hereby authorized
to fix or alter the designations, powers and preferences, and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, if any, and qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, dividend
rights (and whether dividends are cumulative), conversion rights, if any,
voting rights (including the number of votes, if any, per share, as well as the
number of members, if any, of the Board or the percentage of members, if any,
of the Board each class or series of Preferred Stock may be entitled to elect),
rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions, if any),
redemption price and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of
Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the
designation thereof, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any
such series subsequent to the issuance of shares of such series, but not below
the number of shares of such series then outstanding.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board shall have no power to alter the rights of any shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding.

                 SECTION 4. Distributions Upon Liquidation.  In the event of
any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation,
whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the
debts and other





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of each series of Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, out of the net assets of the Corporation, an
amount for each share of such series of Preferred Stock equal to the amount
fixed and determined by the Board in the resolution or resolutions creating
such series and providing for the issuance of such shares, and no more, before
any of the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed or paid over to the
holders of shares of Common Stock.  After payment in full of said amounts to
the holders of Preferred Stock of all series, the remaining assets and funds of
the Corporation shall be divided among and paid to the holders of shares of
Common Stock.  If, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the assets
of the Corporation distributable as aforesaid among the holders of Preferred
Stock of all series shall be insufficient to permit full payment to them of
said preferential amounts, then such assets shall be distributed ratably among
such holders of Preferred Stock in proportion to the respective total amounts
which they shall be entitled to receive as provided in this Section 4.

                 ARTICLE VI: ANNUAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

                 The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such time,
on such date and at such place (within or without the State of Delaware) as
provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.  Subject to any requirement of
applicable law, the books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of
Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the
Board or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.  Elections of directors need not be
by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

                 ARTICLE VII: CALL OF SPECIAL MEETINGS OF
                               STOCKHOLDERS

                 Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation for any
purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a majority of the members of
the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors which has
been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose power and authority,
as provided in a resolution by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the
Corporation, includes the power to call such meetings, but such special
meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any other
Person or Persons or in any other manner; provided, however, that if a proposal
requiring stockholder approval is made by or on behalf of an Interested
Stockholder or a director who is an Affiliate or Associate of an Interested
Stockholder, or if an Interested Stockholder otherwise seeks action requiring
stockholder approval, then the affirmative vote of a majority





                                       4
<PAGE>   5
of the Independent Directors shall also be required to call a special meeting
of stockholders for the purpose of considering such proposal or obtaining such
approval; and provided further that if and to the extent that any special
meeting of stockholders may be called by any other Person or Persons specified
in any certificate of designations filed under Section 151(g) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (or its successor statute as in effect from time to
time), then such special meeting may also be called by the Person or Persons,
in the manner, at the times and for the purposes so specified.

                 ARTICLE VIII: NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

                 The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board
shall be as specified in the Bylaws of the Corporation, as the same may be
amended from time to time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in
which the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting as a
class, shall be entitled to elect a specified number of directors by reason of
dividend arrearages or other contingencies giving them the right to do so, then
and during such time as such right continues, (A) the then otherwise authorized
number of directors shall be increased by such specified number of directors
and the holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class,
shall be entitled to elect such specified number of directors in accordance
with the procedure set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Board
creating such series and providing for the issuance of such shares and (B) each
such additional director shall serve until his or her successor shall be
elected and shall qualify, or until his or her right to hold such office
terminates pursuant to the resolution or resolutions of the Board creating such
series of Preferred Stock and providing for the issuance of shares of such
series, whichever occurs earlier.  Whenever the holders of shares of such
series of Preferred Stock are divested of such right to elect directors
pursuant to the resolution or resolutions of the Board creating such series and
providing for the issuance of such shares, the terms of office of all directors
elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock pursuant to such
rights, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation
or removal of directors so elected by the holders of such series, shall
forthwith terminate and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced
accordingly.

                 ARTICLE IX: STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

                 Any election of directors or other action by the stockholders
of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders and may not be effected by written consent without a meeting.

                 ARTICLE X: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

                 SECTION 1. Classified Board.  Except to the extent otherwise
provided in any certificate of designations filed under Section 151(g) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (or its successor statute as in effect from
time to time), the Board of Directors shall be and is divided into three
classes, Class I, Class II and Class III.  Such classes shall be as nearly
equal in number of directors as reasonably possible.  Each director shall serve
for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at
which such director was elected, provided, however, that the directors first
elected to Class I shall serve for a term ending on the annual meeting date
next following the end of calendar year 1992, the directors first elected to
Class II shall serve for a term ending on the second annual meeting date next
following the end of calendar year 1992, and the directors first elected to
Class III shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting date next
following the end of calendar year 1992.  The foregoing notwithstanding, each
director shall serve until his successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified unless he shall resign, become disqualified or shall otherwise be
removed.

                 At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those
whose terms then expire shall be of the same class of the directors they
succeed unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number
of directors, the designated board shall designate one or more directorships
whose term then expires as directorships of another class in order more nearly
to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes.  If a director
dies, resigns or is removed, the director chosen to fill the vacant
directorship shall be of the same class as the director he or she succeeds,
unless, by reason of any previous changes in the authorized number of
directors, the Board shall designate such vacant directorship as a directorship
of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality in the number of
directors among the classes.

                 Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as
nearly equal in number of directors as reasonably possible, in the event of any
change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to
serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which
he is a member until the expiration of his current term or his prior death,
resignation or removal.  If any newly created directorship may, consistently
with the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of
directors as reasonably possible, be allocated to one of two or more classes,
the Board shall allocate it to that of the available classes whose term of
office is due to expire at the earliest date following such allocation.





                                       6
<PAGE>   7
                 Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any
increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the
stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may, unless the Board
of Directors determines otherwise, only be filled by a majority of the
directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining

Law"), a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director.  The Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware Law, any person (or the estate of any person)
who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by
or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The
Corporation may indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware Law, any person (or the estate of any person) who is or was a

venture, trust or other enterprise.  The Corporation may, to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware Law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
such director, officer, employee or agent against any liability which may be
asserted against such person.  To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
Law, the indemnification provided herein shall include expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and, in the
manner provided by the Delaware Law, any such expenses may be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding.  The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit
the right of the Corporation to indemnify any other person for any such
expenses to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, nor shall it be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking
indemnification from the





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
Corporation may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such

existing by virtue of the foregoing paragraph at the time of such repeal or
modification.

                 ARTICLE XIII: AMENDMENT OF CORPORATE DOCUMENTS

Stockholder or an Interested Stockholder increasing his ownership of capital

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of the 1st day of April, 1996, by and between Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., a Delaware
corporation with its principal office located in Santa Monica, California (the
"Company"), and Freeman A. Lyle, Jr., an individual ("Employee").

        A. KWI is a licensed California real estate broker in the business of
marketing real property by auction and other means and desires to retain the
services of Employee in conducting this business, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

        B. Employee desires to be employed by KWI pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.


                                    AGREEMENT

        1. Services Provided to the Company. During the term of this Agreement,
Employee shall devote his full business time and best efforts in the employment
of the Company and its subsidiaries and shall have such powers and duties as may
from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, which duties may, in the Company's reasonable
discretion, be changed in any legal manner from time to time; provided, however,
that any reassignment of Employee's duties shall not require him to move from
the Greater Los Angeles area and shall not involve duties which are not
appropriate for his level of expertise, ability or compensation level. Such
duties shall in all events be duties of an officer of the Company. The initial
duties of Employee shall include, without limitation, serving as Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company with responsibility for
overseeing the financial affairs of the Company. Employee shall provide the
Company with the benefit of his best judgment and efforts in performing his
duties hereunder.

        2. Term. Employee shall be employed by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement for a term beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing
through to, and terminating at 11:59 PM on March 31, 1997 (unless earlier
terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

        3. Commitment to the Company. During the term of Employee's employment
under this Agreement, Employee shall not be involved, individually or as an
employee, principal, officer, general partner, director or shareholder, in any
real estate development activities without first obtaining the consent and
approval of a majority of the Company's Board of Directors, the consideration of
such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed and such consent shall be given
or withheld on a


<PAGE>   4
consistent basis with the grant or refusal of the Board to grant consent to real
estate development activities by other officers of the Company who are party to
employment agreements with the Company. The limitation contained in this Section
shall not apply, however, to the ownership of no more than 1% of the capital
stock of any publicly held corporation or to participation in real estate
development activities as a limited partner. For purposes of this Section,
Employee shall be deemed the owner of any interests held by Employee, Employee's
spouse, or any other unemancipated minor member of Employee's family.

        4. Compensation to Employee. During the term of this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to Employee compensation ("the Compensation") consisting of:

               (i) a salary equal to $125,600 per annum, payable on such basis
as is the normal payment pattern of the Company, not to be less frequently than
monthly;

               (ii) a discretionary bonus to be determined by the Company in its
sole and absolute discretion which if awarded may be up to 40% of base salary
($50,000) based on Company's determination in its sole and absolute discretion
of its achievement of profit goals. In determining whether any bonus shall be
paid and the amount thereof, Company may examine a number of factors including,
without limitation, employee achievement of the following:

               a. To what extent did Employee provide Company Management with
               proactive and timely advise to enhance and further Company's
               business transactions and successes.


               b. To what extent did Employee provide accurate, timely and
               appropriate financial reports to Management, Board of Directors
               and Public.

               c. To what extent did Employee provide financial statements with
               analysis and action plan to CEO by the 15th of the following
               month.

               d. To what extent did Employee manage accounting for capital
               expenditures and K-W owned properties.

               e. To what extent did Employee manage bank relationships.

               f. To what extent did Employee provide financial analysis,
               direction and control to guide the Company in meeting profit
               goals.

Employee acknowledges that Company has not provided Employee with any
projections or estimates of Net Profit or Net Revenue that might be received by
Employee under the terms of this Agreement as an inducement to Employee to
accept employment with Company.


<PAGE>   5
        5. Expenses. Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Company for any out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses (which shall
not include the expense incurred for Employee's daily commute to and from work),
incurred by Employee in the ordinary course of providing his services hereunder
and shall not exceed $300.00 per month. Such reimbursement shall be made by the
Company after receipt of a statement therefor from Employee setting forth in
reasonable detail the expenses for which reimbursement is requested, accompanied
by customary documentation evidencing such expenses. In those instances, where
out of town travel and per diem or where rare and unusual circumstances arise
and may be required, expenses may exceed the $300 limit provided they are
pre-approved by William J. McMorrow.


        6. Deductions. It is understood that all compensation paid to Employee
under this Agreement is subject to the customary tax, social security and other
similar withholding requirements.

        7. Benefits. For such time as Employee is employed by KWI, he shall be
entitled to the same medical, dental and insurance, 401k plan, and other
benefits as are generally available to other employees of KWI from time to time
during the course of this Agreement.

        8. Noncompetition Covenant. For so long as Employee is employed under
this Agreement and for a period of three years thereafter, Employee will not,
directly or indirectly:

        (a) (i) in any manner induce, attempt to induce, or assist others to
induce or attempt to induce any employee, partner, joint venture, independent
contractor, agent or customer of the Company to terminate its, his or her
association with the Company, or (ii) do anything to interfere with the
relationship between the Company and such person or entity or other persons or
entities dealing with the Company; or

        (b) Employee further acknowledges that all trade secrets, know-how,
technology data, formulae, plans, specifications and other information used by
the Company or under development in connection with its business are the
property of the Company, and that Employee does not have the right to disclose,
make available or use any of the foregoing for the benefit of himself or any
other person or entity.

        (c) Nothing in this Section 8 shall restrict Employee from owning not
more than 1% of the outstanding shares of any class of securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any limited
partner interest in a limited partnership or similar passive investment interest
so long as the nature of such investment prevents, pursuant to applicable law,
Employee's control of the management of the issuer of such investment interest.


                                        3


<PAGE>   6
        (d) The parties hereto intend that the covenants and agreements
contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants
and agreements, one for each and every country, county, state, city and other
jurisdiction in the world with respect to which the Company's business has been
or is hereafter carried on. If any of the foregoing is determined by any court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of such
agreement extending for too great a period of time or over too great a
geographical area, or by reasons of its being too extensive in any other
respect, such agreement shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum
period of time and geographical area and to the maximum extent enforceable, all
as determined by such court in such action. Any determination that any provision
hereof is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, shall have no effect on
the validity or enforceability of any remaining provision thereof.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Employee,
following the termination of his employment or the end of the term of this
Agreement, from being associated with any person or entity engaged in any real
estate activities or matters other than real estate auction activities or
matters or other activities which constitute a primarily line of business of the
Company at the time of such termination.

        9. Confidential and Proprietary Information. Employee recognizes that he
has occupied and will occupy a position of trust with respect to business
information of a confidential or proprietary nature which is the property of the
Company and which has been and will be imparted to him from time to time in the
course of the performance of his duties under this Agreement. Employee agrees
that he shall not at any time, whether during the term hereof or thereafter, use
or disclose directly or indirectly any confidential or proprietary information
of the Company to any person, except that he may use and disclose to other
Company personnel such confidential and proprietary information in the course of
the performance of his duties hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "confidential or proprietary information" of the Company shall, include all
information which is owned by the Company and which is not at the time publicly
available or generally known to persons engaged in businesses similar to that of
the Company, including practices, procedures and methods and other facts
relating to the business of the Company; practices, procedures and methods and
other facts related to sales, marketing, advertising, promotions, financial
matters, clients, client lists of the Company and similar information of a
confidential and proprietary nature.

        10. Stock Options. Upon execution of this Agreement the Company shall
grant to Employee under the Company's 1992 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock
Option Plan a non-transferable non-incentive option to purchase an aggregate of
5,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the price of the
Common Stock on the effective date of the Agreement. The grant of such options
is to be approved by the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company on such terms and subject to such conditions as are set forth in the
stock


                                        4


<PAGE>   7
option agreement between the Company and Employee and an additional 5,000 shares
of Common Stock on 12/31/96 providing Company and individual goals for 1996 are 
met.

        11. Termination.

        (a) This Agreement will terminate upon the death or physical or mental
        incapacity of Employee. Incapacity shall mean the inability to perform
        the services due hereunder for a consecutive 60 calendar day period.

        (b) This Agreement may also be terminated by the Company:

                (i) in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by
                Employee (which shall be limited only to a material breach by
                Employee of the terms of Sections 3, 8 or 9 hereof or the first
                sentence of Section 1 hereof).


                (ii) for cause.

        (c) This Agreement may be terminated by Employee at any time provided
        that such termination shall have the effect set forth in paragraph (d)
        below.

        (d) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(b) shall not
        relieve Employee of his obligations to comply with Sections 8 and 9
        hereof. If Employee resigns due to the Company's material breach which
        is not corrected within ten days after the Employee's written notice of
        the breach to the Company, then Employee shall be relieved of his
        obligations under Section 8 hereof. If Employee resigns for any other
        reason then his obligations under Sections 8 and 9 hereof will continue
        to apply. Upon the termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant
        to Section 11(b) or upon the resignation of Employee during the term of
        this Agreement other than following a material breach by the Company
        hereunder, or prior to termination under Section 8 and 9 if applicable,
        any further compensation to Employee shall terminate on the date this
        Agreement is so terminated by the Company or Employee resigns. In all
        other cases, Employee, or his estate, will receive all salary, bonuses
        and fringe benefits (or if such fringe benefits cannot be provided
        pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans, comparable benefits) due
        hereunder and remaining to be paid during the term hereof in the
        ordinary course, provided that the payment of fringe or comparable
        benefits shall be subject to the availability of such benefits following
        Employee's termination of employment at no additional cost above what
        was previously being paid by the Company.

        (b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the Company and any successors whether by merger,
consolidation, transfer of substantially all assets or similar transaction, and
it shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Employee and his
heirs and legal representatives. This Agreement is personal to Employee and
shall not be assignable by Employee.

        (c) Waiver of Breach. The waiver by the Company or Employee of a breach
of any provision of this Agreement by the other shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the other.

        (d) Entire Agreement/Modification. This Agreement shall constitute the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and shall supersede all previous oral and written and all
contemporaneous oral negotiations, commitments, agreements and understandings
relating hereto. Any modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if
it is in writing and signed by the parties to this Agreement.

        (e) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is deemed
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction and subject to this paragraph be ineffective to the extent of such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the
remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other
provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other

<PAGE>   9
be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum

identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all
purposes.

        (g) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California.

        (h) Alternative Dispute Resolution. The parties to this Agreement
specifically desire an early resolution of any dispute between them which arises
out of this Agreement. It is therefore, agreed that any controversy arising out
of this Agreement, whether dealing with breach, interpretation or otherwise,
shall be heard by a reference ("Referee") pursuant to the provisions of Section
638 of the Code of Civil Procedure and in accordance with the provisions
described below. Provided, however, that if injunctive relief is sought, the
complaining party may seek such relief from the Los Angeles Superior Court
without the use of a Referee.

        1. Enforcement of Agreement. This reference provision may be enforced
by the filing of a complaint or petition or motion seeking specific enforcement.
Service of such motion on the opposing party shall constitute the "Claim Date"
for purposes of this provision.

        2. Selection of Referee. The Referee shall be a retired Judge of the
Court selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree
then a Referee shall be appointed by the Los Angeles Superior Court in
accordance with Section 640 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Each party shall be
entitled to only one disqualification pursuant to Section 170.6 of the Code of
Civil Procedure. The parties hereby waive their right to a trial by jury and
agree that their dispute shall be tried by the Referee so selected.

        3. Decisional Rules. The trial shall be conducted and the issues
determined in compliance with all judicial rules and all statutory and
decisional law of the Sate of California as if the matter were formally
litigated in Superior Court. The Referee shall conduct and decide all pre-trial
and post-trial procedures as if the matter were formally litigated in the
Superior Court. All rules of evidence as set forth in the California Evidence
Code, other statutory and decisional law of California and all relevant Los
Angeles County Superior Court Rules and California Rules of Court shall be
applicable to any proceeding before the Referee.

        4. Discovery. The parties to this Agreement expressly waive their right
to engage in any discovery with the exception of depositions and requests for
the inspection, production and copying of documents. Interrogatories, requests
for admissions and depositions upon written interrogatories shall not be
permitted. The


                                        7


<PAGE>   10
Referee shall be authorized to issue subpoenas requiring attendance at hearings
and, or trial. All discovery permitted by this Agreement shall be completed no
later than fifteen (15) days before the first hearing date established by the
Referee. The Referee may extend such period in the event of a party's refusal to
provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever, including legal
objections raised to such discovery or unavailability of a witness due to
absence or illness. No party shall be entitled to "priority" in conducting
discovery. Depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written
notice. Request for production or inspection of documents shall be responded to
within ten (10) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery shall be
submitted to the Referee whose decision shall be final and binding upon the
parties.

        5. Hearings and Trial. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the 
Referee shall determine the manner in which the proceeding is conducted
including the time and place of all hearings, the order or presentation of
evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the
proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the Referee, except
for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter unless one is requested
by a party. The party making the request shall have the obligation to arrange
and pay for the court reporter. The costs of the court reporter at the trial
shall be borne equally by the parties. The trial shall be conducted without a
jury on consecutive dates, as opposed to being conducted piecemeal on various
dates separated by postponements or adjournments. The trial shall be conducted
in a courtroom or in surroundings with formality as close to a courtroom as
possible. The Referee shall set the matter for hearing within sixty (60) days
after the Claim Date and try all issues of law or fact and report a statement of
decision upon them, if possible, within ninety (90) days of the Claim Date.

        6. Decision of Referee. The Referee shall be empowered to enter
equitable as well as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or provisional
remedies and to enter equitable orders that will be binding upon the parties.
The Referee shall issue a single judgment at the close of the proceeding which
shall dispose of all of the claims of the parties that are the subject of the
reference. Any decision rendered by the Referee shall be final, binding and
conclusive and judgment shall be entered pursuant to Section 644 of the Code of
Civil Procedure in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction.

        7. Attorneys' Fees. The cost of the Referee shall be shared equally
between the parties. However, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive
as part of the judgment in its favor an award of all actual attorneys' fees and
costs (including the Referee and court reporter fees) incurred with respect to
the reference, and interest at the highest rate permitted by law as of the date
of the breach.

        8. Appeal The judgment entered upon the decision of the Referee shall be
subject to all post-trial procedures and to appeal in the same manner as an
appeal


                                        8


<PAGE>   11
from any order or judgment in a civil action.

        (i) Assignment. This Agreement is for the unique personal services of
Employee and may not be assigned by Employee without the express written consent
of KWI. Except as so provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and
assigns of the parties hereto.

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

Loan#__________________


                 REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


        This REVOLVING LOAN AGREEMENT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"),
dated as of May 22, 1997, is made and entered into by and between KWP FINANCIAL
II, a California corporation, ("Borrower"), and HAWTHORNE SAVINGS, F.S.B., a
federal savings bank, ("Lender"), with reference to the facts that (a) Borrower
desires to obtain from Lender a revolving line of credit in the maximum
principal amount of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00) (the "Loan") for the
exclusive purpose of purchasing pools of "Assets" (as defined below in Paragraph
2.) and (b) Lender is willing to provide the Loan, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
benefits to be achieved through the conditions and assignments herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:

        1. The Loan. Lender is willing to provide the Loan to Borrower, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Loan shall be evidenced by a
Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Note") and by this Revolving
Loan Agreement and Security Agreement. Borrower may borrow portions of the Loan
(each an "Advance") from time to time, repay the Loan in full or in part at any
time, and reborrow from time to time, provided, however, that the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan must not exceed Six Million Dollars
($6,000,000.00) at any time.

        2. Assets. "Assets" are defined as notes receivable (excluding
restructured notes) originally made payable to regulated financial institutions
(and other documentation, if any, relating to such notes receivable, including,
but not limited to, guaranties and assignments of the creditor's position under
settlement agreements), which, from time to time are placed into pools and
offered for sale by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, other similar
entities, and other sellers approved in writing by Lender (each, a "Pool
Seller"), which are purchased by Borrower with Advances hereunder and delivered
to Lender and (b) the "Existing Collateral" as defined below in Paragraph 4.

        3. Conditions Precedent to the Loan. The Loan shall become available,
and Borrower may request Advances, only once Lender is in receipt of (a) this
Agreement duly signed by Borrower, (b) the "Note" duly signed by Borrower, (c) a
corporate resolution (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) from
Borrower authorizing Borrower's entry into and performance under this Agreement,
(d) a corporate resolution (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) from
"Guarantor" identified below authorizing the execution of the "Guaranty"
described below in Paragraph 17. pertaining to the Loan and (e) such Guaranty
duly executed by such Guarantor.

        4. Repayment of Existing Loans. Before providing any Advances for the
purchase of additional Assets, Lender is hereby authorized to and shall (a) make
an Advance of and apply all such proceeds of the Loan as shall be necessary to
repay in full Borrower's two outstanding borrowings from Lender, loans #79000055
and #79000022 (the "Existing Loans"), in the approximate principal amount of
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), and (b) apply as collateral for the Loan all
collateral currently pledged for the Existing Loans (or either of them) (the
"Existing Collateral").

        5. Purchase of the Assets. Upon the satisfaction of all of the
conditions of Paragraphs 3. and 4., above, and subject to all of the provisions
of this Agreement, Borrower, acting through the written instructions of its
Chief Executive Officer or its Chief Financial Officer sent to Lender by either
facsimile transmission or letter, may from time to time request Advances, and
Lender agrees to wire transfer or to send by official check directly to the
concerned Pool Seller an Advance in such sum so requested by Borrower, provided,
however, that as a condition to each Advance, (a) Lender shall have received (i)
documentation identifying to Lender's satisfaction the Assets to be purchased
with the proceeds of such Advance and (ii) a written certification from
Borrower, acting through its Chief


                                       1


<PAGE>   2
Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, of the respective amount which
Borrower anticipates recovering on each Asset in the corresponding pool (each
such amount an "Estimated Recovery Value"), (b) Lender shall be satisfied that
suitable arrangements have been made for the physical delivery to Lender of the
Assets to be purchased with such Advance, (c) Lender shall have determined, in
light of such Advance, that the Borrowing Base (as described below in Paragraph
8.) will remain sufficient, and (d) except with the prior specific written
approval of Lender, there shall be no allocation greater than Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) under any Advance for the purchase of any one
Asset (treating a note and any related documentation as one Asset), provided,
however, that the foregoing limitation of this clause (d) is not to be
interpreted as applying to Existing Collateral. Lender may, in its sole
discretion, accompany its wire transfer or official check with its written
instructions to the Pool Seller to apply the Advance solely for Borrower's
purchase of the particular Assets identified in accordance with the foregoing.

        6. Creation of Security Interest. Each Advance shall be secured by the
Assets. Effective upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions of Paragraph 3.
above, and continuing irrevocably until the later of the "Maturity Date" (as
defined below in Paragraph 14.) or the date on which the Loan (together with all
other amounts (if any) to which Lender shall be entitled hereunder) shall be
fully repaid, Borrower hereby grants, pledges, transfers and assigns to Lender a
first-priority security interest in all Assets (as the same are from time to
time identified in accordance with this Agreement), and in all proceeds,
products, profits and accessions thereto, and all books, records, documents and
instruments relating thereto or arising therefrom now or in the future. Such
security interest shall be enforceable and otherwise applied and interpreted in
accordance with the California Commercial Code, provided, however, that should
there be any conflict between any provision of any document or instrument
executed in connection with the Loan (including, but not limited to this
Agreement, the Note and the Guaranty) (each a "Loan Document") and any provision
of such Code, the provision of the Loan Document shall control, and provided,
further that such security interest shall be subject to the following provisions
(in lieu of any provisions of such Code inconsistent therewith):

                a. Borrower waives any right to require Lender to (i) proceed
        against any person or entity, (ii) proceed or exhaust any collateral, or
        (iii) pursue any other remedy in Lender's power.

                b. Borrower hereby expressly waives any defense arising by
        reason of any disability or other defense with respect to any
        indebtedness represented by any note constituting an Asset.

                c. Borrower authorizes Lender, without notice or demand and
        without affecting Borrower's liability thereunder, from time to time,
        (i) to take and hold security, other than the Assets, for the payment of
        the Note, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Assets and such
        other collateral or any part thereof or any such other security, and
        (ii) to apply the Assets and other security and direct the order and
        manner of sales thereof as Lender in its discretion may determine.

        7. Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower has represented to Lender
that, upon Borrower's purchase of any Asset, the Asset will be delivered to
Borrower's legal counsel for (among other purposes) review and such further
documentation and acts as shall be necessary to cause title to the Asset to vest
in Borrower. Borrower shall deliver each Asset promptly to Lender, which, in
light of the foregoing, shall be no later than fourteen (14) days after the
release of such Asset by the concerned Pool Seller in accordance with Borrower's
written instructions, provided, however, that, upon written request of Borrower,
Lender agrees to grant its consent in writing to a later, specified date of
delivery if Borrower demonstrates that such later delivery is reasonable in
light of the particular circumstances attending any particular Asset or pool of
Assets. With respect to each of the Assets, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, in
accordance with the foregoing time standards, (a) the original promissory note
evidencing such Asset (each such note being a "Pool Note"), (b) all such other
documentation and information (if any) constituting such Asset (including, but
not limited to, any guaranty or settlement agreement) then delivered by the
concerned Pool Seller to Borrower, and (c) with respect to each Pool Note
secured by a mortgage or trust deed, either (i) an assignment from such Pool
Seller to Lender of the mortgage or trust deed corresponding to such Pool Note
or (ii) (A) an assignment from such Pool Seller to Borrower of such mortgage or
trust deed and (B) an assignment from Borrower to Lender of such mortgage or
trust deed. Each assignment of mortgage or trust deed contemplated in this



                                        2



<PAGE>   3
Paragraph 7. shall be duly executed in recordable form and notarized. Borrower
further agrees to forward promptly to Lender any additional documentation or
information which Borrower receives from any Pool Seller regarding any Asset
after such Pool Seller's initial transfer of such Asset. Borrower hereby
voluntarily and irrevocably grants to Lender a power-of-attorney coupled with an
interest, on behalf of and in the name of Borrower, to endorse Pool Notes, to
execute assignments of mortgages and trust deeds and otherwise to sign
documentation constituting the Assets and to take all actions with respect
thereto as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall deem necessary (y) to perfect
its security interest therein as contemplated in this Agreement and (z) in the
event of any default by Borrower hereunder, under the Note, or under any other
Loan Document, and after the running of any applicable cure period (if any), to
dispose of the Assets and to apply the proceeds thereof to the then outstanding
balance of the Note and to any and all other (if any) obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement. Borrower agrees to execute and to deliver to Lender, upon
Lender's request, such additional documentation as may be necessary to
effectuate the objectives of the immediately preceding sentence, including, but
not limited to, a recordable power of attorney (addressing the powers expressly
mentioned above), duly notarized.

        8. Borrowing Base. No Advance will be funded unless, upon such funding,
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan does not exceed the "Borrowing
Base," defined as sixty-five percent (65%) of the aggregate "Adjusted ERV" of
the Assets (applying the Estimated Recovery Value of each Asset most recently
quoted from time to time by Borrower to Lender in writing, provided, however,
that, on written notice to Lender from time to time, Borrower shall have the
right to reduce, but not to increase, any Estimated Recovery Value). "Adjusted
ERV" means, with respect to each Asset, (a) during the first twelve months
immediately following its acquisition by Borrower, the Estimated Recovery Value
of such Asset, (b) during the thirteenth through eighteenth months following its
acquisition by Borrower, one-half of such Estimated Recovery Value, and (c)
after the eighteenth month following its acquisition by Borrower, zero.

        9. Over-Advance on Collateral. In the event that, through the
ineligibility of one or more Assets to serve as collateral due to aging or for
any other reason, the Borrowing Base becomes insufficient with respect to the
balance of the Loan outstanding at any time, Lender may give Borrower written
notice of such insufficiency, whereupon Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to
restore the sufficiency of the Borrowing Base by paying down the Loan with other
cash resources. Until such time as the sufficiency of the Borrowing Base is
restored, (a) further Advances will be suspended, and (b) 100% of all Net
Proceeds (as distinguished from the portion quoted in the Paragraph hereof
entitled "Servicing the Assets") from Borrower's collection activities are to be
paid monthly to Lender for application to the Loan Balance in accordance with
such "Servicing-the-Assets" Paragraph.

        10. Return of Ineligible Collateral. Provided that the Borrowing Base
will remain sufficient for the balance of the Loan then outstanding, Assets
serving as collateral for the Loan which are disqualified for any reason
(including, but not limited to, any Asset which Borrower acquired more than
eighteen months previously) will be returned to Borrower from time to time on
Borrower's written request, with the respective release of Lender's security
interest therein, and with the appropriate reduction (if any) in the Borrowing
Base to account for the removal of such Asset from the Borrowing Base.

        11. Servicing the Assets. Borrower hereby agrees that it will undertake
such efforts as Borrower deems appropriate to collect or otherwise to liquidate
the obligations evidenced by the Assets. Borrower and Lender both acknowledge
that the Assets are for the most part non-performing or only partially
performing. It is Borrower's intention to convert the Assets into cash.

                a. Remittances of Net Proceeds. Borrower and Lender agree that
        Borrower shall be obligated to remit to Lender on the first day of each
        calendar month (commencing with June 1, 1997) 80% of the Net Proceeds of
        Assets received by Borrower on or before the 25th day of the immediately
        preceding calendar month (the "Cut-off Date") from obligors or
        guarantors of Assets or otherwise in relation to Assets and not
        previously remitted to Lender. "Net Proceeds" shall be deemed to include
        the gross proceeds less only such expenses incurred by Borrower and
        payable to third parties (which expenses do not include any salary,
        rent, or office maintenance or administrative expense payable by
        Borrower). Such proceeds shall be applied by Lender to reduce the
        principal balance of the Loan.

                b. Reporting and Certification.

                        (i) Monthly. Borrower shall send each monthly remittance
                to Lender with a remittance, reconciliation and aging report
                (certified by Borrower's Chief Executive Officer or Chief
                Financial Officer) showing, through the corresponding Cut-off
                Date, (a) the calculation of the 80% for all receipts of Net
                Proceeds of Assets and (b) the aging of all Assets for the
                purpose of calculating the Borrower Base in accordance with
                Paragraph 8. hereof. Borrower shall provide with each monthly
                remittance required by Paragraph 11a., in addition to an
                accounting of the gross proceeds received, evidence of any
                agreed-upon payment plan made between Borrower and an obligor
                (or successor of an obligor) of the Asset for which the
                remittance is being made (an "Obligor"), and the agreed-upon
                balance due from such Obligor if Borrower and such Obligor have
                reached a compromise of the full amount due.

                        (ii) Borrower's Quarterly Reports. Quarterly on or
                before the first day of each third calendar month (commencing
                with September 1, 1997), Borrower shall submit to Lender a
                written narrative report, in form and substance reasonably
                satisfactory to Lender, outlining the status of Borrower's
                collection efforts on all Assets as of the then most recently
                preceding Cut-off Date.

                        (iii) SEC Filings. No later than the date prescribed by
                law for the filing of each SEC form 10K and 10Q of Borrower
                (commencing with each such form pertaining to the third calendar
                quarter of 1997), Borrower shall submit to Lender a written copy
                of each such form for the corresponding period prepared in full
                compliance will all legal requirements.

                c. Release of Asset upon Liquidation. In the event that Borrower
        has reached an agreement to liquidate an Asset in full, Lender shall
        release the Note and the assignment of any mortgage or trust deed for
        such Asset (and, if Lender shall have received documentation as
        contemplated above in Paragraph 7.(c)(i), Lender shall prepare and
        deliver to Borrower an assignment from Lender to Borrower for such
        Asset) upon receipt of the remittance accounting described in Paragraph
        11.b.(i) and receipt of 80% of the Net Proceeds of the agreed-upon
        amount to liquidate such Asset.

        12. Interest. Interest shall commence to accrue on the Loan proceeds
from the date of disbursement of each Advance for the acquisition of Assets
hereunder at the per annum rate of ten percent (10.00%), provided, however, that
on the first business day following any change in the Index, the rate of
interest accruing on the Loan proceeds shall be adjusted to that per annum rate
one and one-half percent (1.50%) above the Index, and further provided that in
no event shall the per annum interest rate be less than nine and one-half
percent (9.50%). As used in this Agreement, "Index" means the base rate on
corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks, as
published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal, or if such base rate is
no longer published or is deemed by Lender, in its sole discretion, to be
substantially recalculated in a manner that in Lender's judgment no longer
represents the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the
nation's 30 largest banks, then Lender may select an alternate index rate and
that alternate index rate shall be the Index. Accrued interest shall be payable
on the first day of each calendar month; interest cannot be paid with the
proceeds of any Advance. In the event that any conflict shall exist between any
interest provisions of this Agreement and of the Note, the Note provisions shall
be deemed to prevail.

        13. Grace Period. In the event that Borrower has not made any payment of
Net Proceeds, interest, or any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay
Lender in accordance with this Agreement within ten (10) days of its due date,
there shall apply to such amount a surcharge equal to ten percent (10%) thereof
(the "Surcharge"), due and payable therewith by Borrower to Lender. Borrower and
Lender understand and agree that, in the event that any payment due Lender
hereunder is not made by Borrower within ten (10) days of its due date, (a)
Lender will incur additional expenses and other damages which cannot practicably
be determined with precision and (b) the Surcharge is, as of the date of this
Agreement, a reasonable estimate thereof. The Surcharge shall be due and payable
by


                                        4


<PAGE>   5
Borrower to Lender in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other payment
which Borrower is or shall be obligated to make to Lender.

        14. Loan Term. The Loan shall mature on May 22, 1998 (the "Maturity
Date"), at which time all ability to borrow under the Loan shall terminate and
all outstanding principal on the Loan, together with all accrued but unpaid
interest, shall be due and payable by Borrower without notice from Lender.

        15. Fees. Borrower agrees to pay the following fees to Lender upon
Borrower's execution of this Agreement (If Borrower so directs Lender in writing
prior to or concurrently with Borrower's execution of this Agreement, either or
both of the following fees may be paid by an Advance under the Loan.):

                a. Commitment Fee. One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars
        ($120,000.00) as a Commitment Fee, in consideration of Lender's
        commitment to provide the Loan to Borrower (The entire Commitment Fee is
        hereby deemed earned, irrespective of the value or the ultimate
        disposition of the Assets (or any of them).); and

                b. Loan Fee. Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) as a Loan Fee, to
        be applied to the costs and expenses of Lender in documenting and
        processing the Loan (including, but not limited to, any filing (if any)
        required by Lender).

        16. Indemnification. In the event that, for any reason other than
Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct, (a) funds are wire transferred
or otherwise advanced as contemplated in Paragraph 5. but Borrower does not
purchase all of the Assets for which funds have been advanced under the Loan, or
(b) possession of any Asset is not delivered to Lender in accordance with
Paragraph 7. above, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless
Lender and its officers and employees from any injuries, losses, damages, costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) which they (or any of them) may sustain
in connection with any such failure to purchase or failure to deliver.

        17. The Guarantor. The Loan and the indemnification responsibilities of
Paragraph 16. above shall be guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. ("Guarantor") by
a Guaranty Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Guaranty").
In the event that the Guaranty shall be deemed invalid or the Guarantor shall
deny that it is liable under the Guaranty for the full outstanding amount
thereof, in addition to its remedies against Guarantor, Lender shall be able to
pursue and any all of its remedies in relation to Borrower as though such
invalidity or denial were a default by Borrower.

        18. Remedies. The following remedies are in addition to and not in lieu
of the remedies contained in the Note or other Loan Documents. The parties
intend that Lender's remedies are to be cumulative and not exclusive of one
another.

        a. Performance Breach; Misrepresentations. Lender may accelerate the
obligations of Borrower in the event the Borrower fails to perform any
obligations of Borrower in the Note or this Agreement or if the Borrower has
made any material misrepresentations of fact in connection with any of the
statements, materials or reports given by Borrower to Lender in connection with
the Loan, provided, however, that, with respect to Borrower's failure to make
any payment under the Note when due, such grace period (if any) provided in the
Note shall not be deemed superseded by this provision;

        b. Assets as Collateral. Consistent with the provisions of Paragraphs 6.
and 7. above, Lender may conduct a sale of the Assets and apply the proceeds
thereof to the obligations of Borrower under the Note and this Agreement.

        19. Existence. Borrower represents and warrants that (a) it has been
duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under
the laws of the State of California, (b) its chief executive office and
principal place of business are at 530 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 101, Santa
Monica, California 90401, and (c) the

                       EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS

        THIS EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS AND CONFIRMATION OF GUARANTY is
entered into as of July 1, 1997 by KENNEDY-WILSON, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Borrower"), KENNEDY-WILSON INTERNATIONAL, a California corporation K-W

                                    RECITALS

        A. Borrower and Lender entered into a Loan Agreement dated as of March
12, 1996 in which Lender agreed to provide a credit facility in the amount of
$6,000,000 to Borrower for working capital and acquisition purposes (as modified
as provided in the next sentence, the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement was
amended by the letter agreement between Borrower and Lender dated March 29,
1996, the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated April 24, 1996 between
Borrower and Lender, the Third Amendment to Loan Documents and Confirmation of

Loan Documents and Confirmation of Guaranty dated as of January 30, 1997, the
Sixth Amendment to Loan Documents and confirmation of Guaranty dated as of
February 26, 1997 and the Seventh Amendment to Loan Documents and Confirmation
of Guaranty dated as of June 1, 1997. All terms used in this Amendment without
being defined have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement.

        B. Borrower and Lender desire to enter into this Amendment to increase
the amount available under the Acquisition Facility.

                                    AMENDMENT

        1. Amendment to Loan Agreement. The Acquisition Facility is increased
from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000. Accordingly, the aggregate amount of credit
available under the Loan Agreement and Notes is increased from $10,000,000 to
$12,000,000. The availability of the Acquisition Facility shall continue to be
subject to the amount of the Borrowing Base and all of the other existing terms
of the Loan Agreement, as amended below. In furtherance of the foregoing, the
Loan Agreement is specifically amended as follows;

               (a) The first four sentences of Section 2.1 are deleted and
restated as follows:.

                      "Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in
                      this Agreement, to make Loans


                                       -1-


<PAGE>   8
                      available to Borrower from the date of this Agreement to
                      the Commitment Termination Date and to maintain any such
                      Loans outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date until
                      they are required to be repaid pursuant to Section 2.3
                      below. The aggregate amount of Loans outstanding at any
                      time shall not exceed $12,000,000. An amount of the
                      Loans not greater than $2,000,000 may be used only for the
                      working capital needs of K-W International (the "Working
                      Capital Facility"). An amount of the Loans not greater
                      than the lesser of (a) $10,000,000 and (b) the Borrowing
                      Base may be used only for the acquisition of interests in
                      real property as set forth in this Agreement or, with the
                      consent of Lender, other property, by Borrower or an
                      affiliate of Borrower (the "Acquisition Facility").

               (b) Section 2.3(d) is deleted and restated as follows:

                      "If at any time (i) the aggregate principal amount of all
                      Loans outstanding exceeds the amount of $12,000,000, (ii)
                      the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding under the
                      Working Capital Facility exceeds $2,000,000, or (iii) the
                      aggregate amount of Loans outstanding under the
                      Acquisition Facility exceeds the lesser of $10,000,000 and
                      the Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall immediately prepay
                      the Loans (together with all interest accrued on the
                      amount prepaid) in the amount of such excess."

               (c) Section 2.7(c) is deleted and restated as follows:

                      "Lender is satisfied that the aggregate amount of Loans
                      outstanding under the Acquisition Facility immediately
                      following the proposed release and any accompanying
                      payment will not be greater than the lesser of (i)
                      $10,000,000 and (ii) the amount of the Borrowing Base;
                      and"

               (d) The provisions of Article III shall continue to apply to
Borrower's application for a Loan and Lender's disbursement of such a Loan from
the Acquisition Facility. Section 3.6 will remain applicable to all Loans made
under both the Working Capital Facility and the Acquisition Facility.

        2. Amendment to Acquisition Note. The principal amount of the
Acquisition Note is $10,000,000.

        3. Calculation-of Borrowing Base. Westborough Court Group, Inc. has

        WHEREAS, Company and Employee have entered into that certain Employment

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby amend the Agreement,
effective as of May 19, 1997 as follows:

        1. Section 2 of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
        the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

                2. Term (a): Employee shall be employed by the Company pursuant
        to his Employment Agreement for a term beginning on August 14, 1992, and
        continuing through to and terminating at the close of business on
        December 31, 1999, (unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9
        hereof).

                        (b): In the event the Employment Agreement is terminated
        due to change in control, or non renewal of the Agreement, except if
        change in control or non renewal is for cause (which shall mean only
