                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

         Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated ("Healthcare Realty" or the
"Company") is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust
("REIT") that integrates owning, acquiring, managing and developing
income-producing real estate properties and mortgages associated with the
delivery of healthcare services throughout the United States.

         On October 15, 1998, Healthcare Realty completed its acquisition of
Capstone Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("Capstone"), through the
merger of HR Acquisition I Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, into Capstone. The acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free
reorganization for federal income tax purposes and as a purchase for financial
reporting purposes. The following table sets forth the assets acquired in the
transaction:

                                                ----                      -------
                         TOTAL                   111                       $804.2
</TABLE>


The Company also acquired $211.6 million in mortgage notes receivable, secured
by mortgages on 45 assisted living facilities, 25 senior nursing facilities and
5 other facility types.

         From the commencement of its operations in June 1993 through December
31, 1999, the Company has invested or committed to invest, directly and
indirectly, over $1.7 billion in 285 income-producing real estate properties and
mortgages associated with the delivery of healthcare services. As of December
31, 1999, the Company's real estate portfolio, containing over 8.9 million
square feet, was comprised of eight facility types and was operated pursuant to
contractual arrangements with 46 healthcare providers. Also, the Company's
mortgage portfolio was comprised of four facility types and was operated by 34
healthcare providers. At December 31, 1999, the Company provided property
management services for 282 healthcare-related properties nationwide, totaling
over 8.5 million square feet, and third-party asset management services for 274
properties nationwide, totaling over 1.6 million square feet. The Company
intends to maintain a portfolio of properties that are focused predominantly on
the outpatient services segment of the healthcare industry and are diversified
by tenant, geographic location and facility type.

         Healthcare Realty believes that it has a competitive advantage in the
healthcare real estate industry as a result of its use of innovative transaction
structures, the strength of its management expertise and its extensive
experience and client relationships with healthcare providers. Management
believes that the Company is the largest fully integrated real estate company
focused on income-producing real estate properties related to the delivery of
healthcare services. The Company believes that its experience and client
relationships with a diverse group of healthcare providers and its access to the
various capital markets make it one of a limited number of companies that can
acquire, manage and develop income-producing real estate related to healthcare
services on a national scale. Unlike other healthcare REITs, the Company seeks
to generate internal growth by



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

actively managing the properties within its portfolio and by controlling and
minimizing operating expenses with respect to its properties, and providing
management services for properties owned by healthcare provider clients.

         Healthcare Realty's strategy is to be a full service provider of
integrated real estate solutions to quality healthcare providers. Consistent
with this strategy, the Company seeks to provide a spectrum of services needed
to own, acquire, manage and develop healthcare properties, including:

         -   leasing;

         -   development;

         -   management;

         -   market research;

         -   budgeting;

         -   accounting;

         -   collection;

         -   construction;

         -   management;

         -   tenant coordination; and

         -   financial services.

The Company's development activities are primarily accomplished through
pre-leased build-to-suit projects.

         Healthcare Realty was formed as an independent, unaffiliated healthcare
REIT. The Company acquires income-producing real estate properties associated
with a diverse group of quality healthcare provider clients in markets where the
respective healthcare provider maintains a strong presence. Management believes
that the Company has a strategic advantage in providing its services to a more
diverse group of healthcare providers because the Company is not affiliated with
any of its clients and does not expect to be affiliated with potential clients.

         Management believes that client diversification reduces the Company's
potential exposure to unsuccessful healthcare service strategies and to a
concentration of credit with any one healthcare provider. Approximately 66% of
the Company's real estate investments including mortgages, at cost, are in
properties associated with publicly-traded companies or private companies with
an investment grade credit rating. The following table sets forth the Company's
five largest healthcare provider clients:

           Balanced Care Corporation                               4.4%

                                       5
<PAGE>   6


         Healthcare Realty focuses predominantly on outpatient healthcare
facilities, which are designed to provide medical services outside of
traditional inpatient hospital or nursing home settings. Management believes the
outpatient services segment of healthcare provides the most cost-effective
delivery setting and, because of increasing cost pressures, this segment of the
healthcare related real estate market offers the greatest potential for future
growth. Company assets that are in categories outside of the Company's
outpatient healthcare focus, such as its senior living assets, are under
continuing management analysis with a view toward possible disposition through
cash, like-kind exchange or securities transactions.

         The Company acquires existing healthcare facilities, provides property
management, leasing and build-to-suit development services, and capital for the
construction of build-to-suit developments for qualified healthcare operators.
The Company owns a diversified portfolio of healthcare properties, most of which
are subject to long-term leases or financial support arrangements to ensure the
continuity of revenues and coverage of costs and expenses relating to the
properties by the tenants and the related healthcare operators.

         Development funding arrangements require the Company to provide funding
to enable healthcare operators to build facilities on property owned or leased
by the Company. Prior to making any funding advance for a development, the
Company enters into a contract to acquire or ground lease the real estate and
enters into a long-term net lease with a healthcare operator or guarantee of the
return on the Company's investment in the property or similar financial support
agreement in favor of the Company. In most development transactions, the Company
either acts as developer, or employs the healthcare operator to act as the
developer of the property, and has approval authority with regard to plans,
specifications, budgets and time schedules for the completion of the development
of the property. Under its customary development funding format, the Company
receives funding fees (the economic equivalent of construction period interest)
on all funds advanced. Timely completion of the development in compliance with
the plans, specifications, budgets and time schedules is the contractual
responsibility of third parties, and construction costs are guaranteed by the
healthcare operator or developer, or both. All construction and service
contracts relating to the development are collaterally assigned to the Company.
During the term of the development of a facility, funds are advanced pursuant to
requests made by the developer in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the applicable funding agreement based on costs incurred prior to the date of
such requests.

         Approximately 97.9% of the Company's investments in properties consist
of properties currently leased to unaffiliated lessees pursuant to long-term net
lease agreements or subject to financial support agreements with the healthcare
operators that provide guarantees of the return on the Company's investment in
the properties. Most of the current property agreements were entered into upon
the conveyance to the Company of the facilities, and have initial terms of ten
to 20 years with, in some cases, one or more renewal terms exercisable by the
healthcare provider of five years each. Most of the agreements are subject to
earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain contingencies. Certain of the
agreements also have an option to repurchase the property at specified times
during the term of the agreements for a price approximately equal to the greater
of the fair market value of such property or the Company's investment in such
property. Base rent or support payments vary by agreement taking into
consideration various factors, including the credit of the property lessee, the
healthcare operator, and the operating performance, location, and physical
condition of the property. Many of the property agreements contain provisions
for additional rent or support payment increases. The existence and nature of
provisions for additional payments in any given agreement relate to, among other
factors, the financial strength of the respective property lessee, the
healthcare operator, or both, as well as other lease terms.

         The Company operates so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. If so qualified, with limited exceptions, the Company will not be
subject to corporate federal income tax with respect to net income distributed
to its shareholders. See "Federal Income Tax Information" below.

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

         During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company acquired a 25,000
square-foot ambulatory surgery center in Boca Raton, Florida for approximately
$6.1 million.

PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS

         During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company sold an ancillary
hospital facility in Dallas, Texas for approximately $4.3 million in net
proceeds, sold a physician clinic in Los Angeles, California for approximately
$700,000 in net proceeds; sold two ancillary hospital facilities in Savannah,
Georgia for approximately $12.8 million in net proceeds; and, four mortgage note
receivables were repaid for approximately $16.6 million in net proceeds.

COMMITMENTS

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a net investment of
approximately $20.0 million in six build-to-suit developments in progress, which
have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $37.6 million.
Further, the Company has commitments to purchase or provide funding for the
construction of other properties totaling $12.4 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company also has six mortgages under development at December 31, 1999, which
have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $1.9 million.

         As part of the Capstone merger, agreements were entered into with three
individuals affiliated with Capstone that restrict competitive practices and
which the Company believes will protect and enhance the value of the real estate
properties acquired from Capstone. These agreements provide for the issuance of
150,000 shares per year of common stock of the Company to the individuals on
October 15 of the years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, provided all terms of the
agreements are met. The shares will be recorded on the Company's books at the
value of $28.0714 per share, the value of the shares issued in the Capstone
merger. The Company issued 150,000 shares during 1999 pursuant to these
agreements.

MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO

         Mortgage notes receivable, substantially all of which were acquired in
the Capstone merger, were recorded at their fair value at the date of
acquisition. Approximately 48% of the mortgage notes receivable are secured by
assisted living facilities and 37% are secured by skilled nursing facilities.
The 83 mortgages in the portfolio at December 31, 1999 represent 34 operators.
Six of these mortgages, representing $21.7 million, or 8.5%, of the balance at
December 31, 1999, are secured by properties under development. The remaining
loan commitment at December 31, 1999 on these mortgages totals $1.9 million.

         The weighted average maturity of the mortgage portfolio is
approximately 5.9 years, with maturity dates ranging from February 2001 to
October 2010. Interest rates, which range from 8% to 13%, are generally
adjustable each year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index.
Substantially all mortgages are subject to a prepayment penalty.

COMPETITION

         The Company competes for property acquisitions with, among others:

         -     Investors;

         -     Healthcare providers;

         -     Other healthcare related REITs;



                                       7

<PAGE>   8


         -     Real estate partnerships; and

         -     Financial institutions.

         From 1992 until late 1998, the REIT industry was in an expansion mode,
and capital was readily available to REITs. By the end of 1998, however, market
valuations of REIT shares (including the Company's shares) had declined
substantially with the result that the Company presently has limited access to
capital from the equity market. The Company may not be able to obtain additional
equity or debt capital or dispose of assets at the time it requires additional
capital. Moreover, the Company may not be able to obtain capital on terms that
will enable it to acquire healthcare properties on a competitive basis.

         The financial performance of all of the Company's properties is subject
to competition from similar properties. Certain operators of other properties
may have capital resources in excess of those of the operators of the Company's
properties. In addition, the extent to which the Company's properties are
utilized depends upon several factors, including the number of physicians using
the healthcare facilities or referring patients there, competitive systems of
healthcare delivery, and the area population, size and composition. Private,
federal and state payment programs and other laws and regulations may also have
a significant effect on the utilization of the properties. Virtually all of the
Company's properties operate in a competitive environment, and patients and
referral sources, including physicians, may change their preferences for a
healthcare facility from time to time.

         The business of providing services relating to the day-to-day
management and leasing of multi-tenanted healthcare properties and to the
supervision of the development of new healthcare facilities is highly
competitive and is subject to price, personnel cost and other competitive
pressures upon its profitability. The Company will compete for management
contracts and development agreements with respect to properties owned or to be
developed by the Company, as well as with respect to properties that are owned
by third parties.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         The investments made by the Company are with active participants in the
healthcare industry. The healthcare industry is undergoing substantial changes
due to rising costs in the delivery of healthcare services, rising competition
for patients, and reduction of reimbursement by private and governmental payors.
Further, the healthcare industry is faced with increased scrutiny by federal and
state legislative and administrative authorities, thus presenting the industry
and its individual participants with significant uncertainty. The Company
believes that these changes and uncertainties present significant opportunities
for the Company to assist in providing solutions to some of these pressures;
however, these various changes can affect the economic performance of some or
all of its tenants and clients. The Company cannot predict the degree to which
these changes may affect the economic performance of the Company, positively or
negatively.

         The facilities leased by the Company are affected by changes in the
reimbursement, licensing and certification policies of federal, state and local
governments for healthcare related facilities. Facilities may also be affected
by changes in accreditation standards or procedures of accrediting agencies that
are recognized by governments in the certification process. In addition,
expansion (including the addition of new beds or services or acquisition of
medical equipment) and occasionally the discontinuation of services of
healthcare facilities are generally subjected to state regulatory approval
through certificate of need programs.

         A significant portion of the revenue of healthcare operators is derived
from government reimbursement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Although
lease payments to the Company are not directly affected by the level of
government reimbursement, to the extent that changes in these programs adversely
affect healthcare operators, such changes could have an impact



                                       8
<PAGE>   9


on their ability to make lease payments to the Company. The Medicare program is
highly regulated and subject to frequent and substantial changes. In recent
years, fundamental changes in the Medicare program (including the implementation
of a prospective payment system in which facilities are reimbursed generally a
flat amount based on a patient's diagnosis and not based on the facilities' cost
for inpatient services at medical surgical hospitals) have resulted in reduced
levels of payment for a substantial portion of healthcare services.

         Considerable uncertainties surround the future determination of payment
levels under government reimbursement programs. In addition, governmental
budgetary concerns may significantly reduce future payments made to healthcare
operators as a result of government financed programs. It is possible that
future payment rates will not be sufficient to cover cost increases in providing
services to patients. Reductions in payments pursuant to government healthcare
programs could have an adverse impact on a healthcare operator's financial
condition and, therefore, could adversely affect the ability of such operator to
make rental payments.

         Loss by a facility of its ability to participate in government
sponsored programs because of licensing, certification or accreditation
deficiencies or because of program exclusion resulting from violations of law
would have material adverse effects on facility revenues.

Legislative Developments

         A number of legislative proposals have been introduced or proposed in
Congress and in some state legislatures that would effect major changes in the
healthcare system, either nationally or at the state level. Among the proposals
under consideration are cost controls on hospitals, insurance market reforms to
increase the availability of group health insurance to small businesses,
requirements that all businesses offer health insurance coverage to their
employees and the creation of a single government health insurance plan that
would cover all citizens. There can be no assurance whether any proposals will
be adopted or, if adopted, what effect, if any, such proposals would have on the
Company's business.

         In recent years Congress and various state legislatures have considered
various proposals that would have prohibited or severely limited the ability of
physicians and other referral sources to refer Medicare or Medicaid patients to
ventures with which the referral source has a financial relationship. The
Company's leases require the lessees to covenant that they will comply with all
applicable laws.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances
and regulations, an owner of real property (such as the Company) may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances
at, under or disposed of in connection with such property, as well as certain
other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including
government fines and injuries to persons and adjacent property). Most, if not
all, of these laws, ordinances and regulations contain stringent enforcement
provisions including, but not limited to, the authority to impose substantial
administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties upon violators. Such laws
often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible therefor, the presence or disposal of such substances and may be
imposed on the owner in connection with the activities of an operator of the
property. The cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or personal or
property damages and the owner's liability therefor could exceed the value of
the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. In addition, the presence
of such substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remediate such
substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease such
property or to borrow using such property as collateral.



                                       9

<PAGE>   10


         A property can also be negatively impacted either through physical
contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect on value, from contamination
that has or may have emanated from other properties. Certain of the properties
owned by the Company or managed or developed by its property management
subsidiary are adjacent to or near properties that contain underground storage
tanks or that have released petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic
materials into the soils or groundwater.

         Operations of the properties owned, developed or managed by the Company
are and will continue to be subject to numerous federal, state, and local
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including those relating to the
generation, segregation, handling, packaging and disposal of medical wastes as
well as facility siting, construction, occupational training and safety,
disposal of non-medical wastes, underground storage tanks and ash emissions from
incinerators. Certain properties owned, developed or managed by the Company
contain, and others may contain or at one time may have contained, underground
storage tanks that are or were used to store waste oils, petroleum products or
other hazardous substances. Such underground storage tanks can be the source of
releases of hazardous or toxic materials. Operations of nuclear medicine
departments at some of such properties also involve the use and handling, and
subsequent disposal of, radioactive isotopes and similar materials, activities
which are closely regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state
regulatory agencies. In addition, several of the properties were built during
the period asbestos was commonly used in building construction and other such
facilities may be acquired by the Company in the future. Certain of the
properties contain non-friable asbestos-containing materials, and other
facilities acquired in the future may contain friable and non-friable
asbestos-containing materials. The presence of such materials could result in
significant costs in the event that any friable asbestos-containing materials
requiring immediate removal and/or encapsulation are located in or on any of
such facilities or in the event of any future renovation activities.

         The Company has had environmental assessments conducted on
substantially all of the properties currently owned. The Company is not aware of
any environmental condition or liability that management believes would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's earnings, expenditures or continuing
operations. While it is the Company's policy to seek indemnification relating to
environmental liabilities or conditions, even where sale and purchase agreements
do contain such provisions there can be no assurances that the seller will be
able to fulfill its indemnification obligations. In addition, the terms of the
Company's leases or financial support agreements do not give the Company control
over the operational activities of its lessees or health care operators, nor
will the Company monitor the lessees or healthcare operators with respect to
environmental matters.

INSURANCE

         The Company maintains appropriate liability and casualty insurance on
its assets and operations. The Company has also obtained title insurance with
respect to each of the properties it owns in amounts equal to their respective
purchase prices, insuring that the Company holds title to each of the properties
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except those approved by the
Company. Under their leases or financial support agreements, the healthcare
operators are required to maintain, at their expense, certain insurance
coverages relating to their operations at the leased facilities. In the opinion
of management of the Company, each of the properties owned by the Company is
adequately covered by hazard, liability and rent insurance.

EMPLOYEES

         As of March 8, 2000, the Company employed 227 people. None of the
employees is a member of a labor union, and the Company considers its relations
with its employees to be excellent.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

         The Company is and intends to remain qualified as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a REIT, the Company's
net income which is distributed as dividends to shareholders will be exempt from
federal taxation. Distributions to the Company's shareholders generally will be
includable in their income; however, dividends distributed which are in excess
of current and/or accumulated earnings and profits will be treated for tax
purposes as a return of capital to the extent of a shareholder's basis and will
reduce the basis of shareholders' shares.

Introduction

         The Company believes that it has qualified and intends to remain
qualified to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections
856 through 860 of the Code. The following discussion addresses the material tax
considerations relevant to the taxation of the Company and summarizes certain
federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to certain shareholders.
However, the actual tax consequences of holding particular securities issued by
the Company may vary in light of a prospective securities holder's particular
facts and circumstances. Certain holders, such as tax-exempt entities, insurance
companies and financial institutions, are generally subject to special rules. In
addition, the following discussion does not address issues under any foreign,
state or local tax laws. The tax treatment of a holder of any of the securities
issued by the Company will vary depending upon the terms of the specific
securities acquired by such holder, as well as his particular situation, and
this discussion does not attempt to address aspects of federal income taxation
relating to holders of particular securities of the Company. This summary is
qualified in its entirety by the applicable Code provisions, rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial
interpretations thereof. The Code, rules, regulations, and administrative and
judicial interpretations are all subject to change (possibly on a retroactive
basis).

         The Company believes that it is organized and is operating in
conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT and
that its method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements
for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. The Company's
qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon its ability to meet, through
actual annual operating results, the various income, asset, distribution, stock
ownership and other tests discussed below. Accordingly, the Company can not
guarantee that the actual results of operations for any one taxable year will
satisfy such requirements.

         If the Company were to cease to qualify as a REIT, and the relief
provisions were found not to apply, the Company's income that it distributed to
shareholders would be subject to the "double taxation" on earnings (once at the
corporate level and again at the shareholder level) that generally results from
investment in a corporation. Failure to maintain qualification as a REIT would
force the Company to significantly reduce its distributions and possibly incur
substantial indebtedness or liquidate substantial investments in order to pay
the resulting corporate taxes. In addition, the Company, once having obtained
REIT status and having thereafter lost such status, would not be eligible to
re-elect REIT status for the four subsequent taxable years, unless its failure
to maintain its qualification was due to reasonable cause and not willful
neglect and certain other requirements were satisfied. In order to elect again
to be taxed as a REIT, just as with its original election, the Company would be
required to distribute all of its earnings and profits accumulated in any
non-REIT taxable year.



                                       11

<PAGE>   12


Taxation of the Company

         As long as the Company remains qualified to be taxed as a REIT, it
generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on that portion of its
ordinary income or capital gain that is currently distributed to shareholders.

         However, the Company will be subject to federal income tax as follows:
first, the Company will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed
"real estate investment trust taxable income," including undistributed net
capital gains. Second, under certain circumstances, the Company may be subject
to the "alternative minimum tax" on its items of tax preference, if any. Third,
if the Company has (i) net income from the sale or other disposition of
"foreclosure property" that is held primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of business, or (ii) other nonqualifying income from foreclosure
property, it will be subject to tax on such income at the highest corporate
rate. Fourth, any net income that the Company has from prohibited transactions
(which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of property other
than foreclosure property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of business) will be subject to a 100% tax. Fifth, if the Company should
fail to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income test (as discussed below),
and has nonetheless maintained its qualification as a REIT because certain other
requirements have been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the net income
attributable to the greater of the amount by which the Company fails the 75% or
95% gross income test. Sixth, if the Company fails to distribute during each
year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year, (ii)
95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from preceding periods, then the Company will be
subject to a four percent excise tax on the excess of such required distribution
over the amounts actually distributed. Seventh, to the extent that the Company
recognizes gain from the disposition of an asset with respect to which there
existed "built-in gain" upon its acquisition by the Company from a C corporation
in a carry-over basis transaction and such disposition occurs within a ten-year
recognition period beginning on the date on which it was acquired by the
Company, the Company will be subject to federal income tax at the highest
regular corporate rate on the amount of its "net recognized built-in gain."

Requirements for Qualification as a REIT

         To qualify as a REIT for a taxable year under the Code, the Company
must have no earnings and profits accumulated in any non-REIT year. The Company
also must elect or have in effect an election to be taxed as a REIT and must
meet other requirements, some of which are summarized below, including
percentage tests relating to the sources of its gross income, the nature of the
Company's assets and the distribution of its income to shareholders. Such
election, if properly made and assuming continuing compliance with the
qualification tests described herein, will continue in effect for subsequent
years.

Organizational Requirements and Share Ownership Tests

         Section 856(a) of the Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or
association: (1) which is managed by one or more trustees or directors; (2) the
beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable shares or by
transferable certificates of beneficial interest; (3) which would be taxable,
but for Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, as a domestic corporation; (4)
which is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company subject to
certain provisions of the Code; (5) the beneficial ownership of which is held by
100 or more persons, determined without reference to any rules of attribution
(the "share ownership test"); (6) that during the last half of each taxable year
not more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock of which is owned, directly
or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities) (the "five or fewer test"); and (7) which meets certain other
tests, described below, regarding the nature of its income and assets.



                                       12

<PAGE>   13

         Section 856(b) of the Code provides that conditions (1) through (4),
inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable year and that condition (5)
must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a
proportionate part of a taxable year of fewer than 12 months. The "five or fewer
test" and the share ownership test do not apply to the first taxable year for
which an election is made to be treated as a REIT.

         The Company has issued sufficient shares to a sufficient number of
people to allow it to satisfy the share ownership test and the five or fewer
test. In addition, to assist in complying with the five or fewer test, the
Company's Articles of Incorporation contain provisions restricting share
transfers where the transferee (other than specified individuals involved in the
formation of the Company, members of their families and certain affiliates, and
certain other exceptions) would, after such transfer, own (a) more than 9.9%
either in number or value of the outstanding common stock of the Company or (b)
more than 9.9% either in number or value of the outstanding preferred stock of
the Company. Pension plans and certain other tax-exempt entities have different
restrictions on ownership. If, despite this prohibition, stock is acquired
increasing a transferee's ownership to over 9.9% in value of either the
outstanding common stock of the Company or preferred stock of the Company, the
stock in excess of this 9.9% in value is deemed to be held in trust for transfer
at a price which does not exceed what the purported transferee paid for the
stock and, while held in trust, the stock is not entitled to receive dividends
or to vote. In addition, under these circumstances, the Company also has the
right to redeem such stock.

         For purposes of determining whether the "five or fewer test" (but not
the "share ownership test") is met, any stock held by a qualified trust
(generally, pension plans, profit-sharing plans and other employee retirement
trusts) is, generally, treated as held directly by the trust's beneficiaries in
proportion to their actuarial interests in the trust, and not as held by the
trust.

Income Tests

         In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, two gross income
requirements must be satisfied annually. First, at least 75% of the Company's
gross income (excluding gross income from certain sales of property held
primarily for sale) must be derived directly or indirectly from investments
relating to real property (including "rents from real property") or mortgages on
real property. When the Company receives new capital in exchange for its shares
(other than dividend reinvestment amounts) or in a public offering of debt
instruments with maturities of five years or longer, income attributable to the
temporary investment of such new capital, if received or accrued within one year
of the Company's receipt of the new capital, is qualifying income under the 75%
test. Second, at least 95% of the Company's gross income (excluding gross income
from certain sales of property held primarily for sale) must be derived from
such real property investments, dividends, interest, certain payments under
interest rate swap or cap agreements, and gain from the sale or other
disposition of stock, securities not held for sale in the ordinary course of
business or from any combination of the foregoing.

         The Company may temporarily invest its working capital in short-term
investments. Although the Company will use its best efforts to ensure that its
income generated by these investments will be of a type which satisfies the 75%
and 95% gross income tests, there can be no assurance in this regard (see the
discussion above of the "new capital" rule under the 75% gross income test). The
Company has analyzed its gross income through December 31, 1999, and has
determined that it has met and expects to meet in the future the 75% and 95%
gross income tests through the rental of the property it has or acquires.

         In order to qualify as "rents from real property," the amount of rent
received must not be based on the income or profits of any person, but may be
based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales. The Code also
provides that the rents will not qualify as "rents from real property," in
satisfying the gross income tests, if the REIT owns ten percent or more of the
tenant,



                                       13

<PAGE>   14


whether directly or under certain attribution rules. The Company leases and
intends to lease property only under circumstances such that substantially all,
if not all, rents from such property qualify as "rents from real property."
Although it is possible that a tenant could sublease space to a sublessee in
which the Company is deemed to own directly or indirectly ten percent or more of
the tenant, the Company believes that as a result of the provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation which limit ownership to 9.9%, such
occurrence would be unlikely. Application of the ten percent ownership rule is,
however, dependent upon complex attribution rules provided in the Code and
circumstances beyond the control of the Company. Ownership, directly or by
attribution, by an unaffiliated third party of more than ten percent of the
Company's stock and more than ten percent of the stock of any tenant or
subtenant would result in a violation of the rule.

         In order to qualify as "interest on obligations secured by mortgages on
real property," the amount of interest received must not be based on the income
or profits of any person, but may be based on a fixed percentage or percentages
of receipts or sales.

         In addition, the Company must not manage its properties or furnish or
render services to the tenants of its properties, except through an independent
contractor from whom the Company derives no income unless (i) the Company is
performing services which are usually or customarily furnished or rendered in
connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and the services are of
the sort which a tax-exempt organization could perform without being considered
in receipt of unrelated business taxable income or (ii) the income earned by the
Company for other services furnished or rendered by the Company to tenants of a
property or for the management or operation of the property does not exceed a de
minimis threshold generally equal to 1% of the income from such property. The
Company self-manages some of its properties, but does not believe it provides
services to tenants which are outside the exception.

         If rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a
lease of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the
lease, then the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will not
qualify as "rents from real property." Generally, this 15% test is applied
separately to each lease. The portion of rental income treated as attributable
to personal property is determined according to the ratio of the adjusted tax
basis of the personal property to the total adjusted tax basis of the property
which is rented. The determination of what fixtures and other property
constitute personal property for federal tax purposes is difficult and
imprecise. Based upon allocations of value as found in the purchase agreements
and/or upon review by employees of the Company, the Company currently does not
have and does not believe that it is likely in the future to have 15% by value
of any of its properties classified as personal property. If, however, rent
payments do not qualify, for reasons discussed above, as rents from real
property for purposes of Section 856 of the Code, it will be more difficult for
the Company to meet the 95% and 75% gross income tests and continue to qualify
as a REIT.

         The Company is and expects to continue performing third-party
management and development services. If the gross income to the Company from
this or any other activity producing disqualified income for purposes of the 95%
or 75% gross tests approaches a level which could potentially cause the Company
to fail to satisfy these tests, the Company intends to take such corrective
action as may be necessary to avoid failing to satisfy the 95% or 75% gross
income tests.

         If the Company were to fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95%
gross income tests for any taxable year, it may nevertheless qualify as a REIT
for such year if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code.
These relief provisions would generally be available if the Company's failure to
meet such test or tests was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect,
if the Company attaches a schedule of the sources of its income to its return,
and if any incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with
intent to evade tax. It is not possible, however, to know whether the Company
would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions since the
application of the relief provisions is dependent on future facts and
circumstances. If these





                                       14
<PAGE>   15


provisions were to apply, the Company would be subjected to tax equal to 100% of
the net income attributable to the greater of the amount by which the Company
failed either the 75% or the 95% gross income test.

Asset Tests

         At the close of each quarter of its taxable year, the Company must also
satisfy three tests relating to the nature of its assets. First, at least 75% of
the value of the Company's total assets must consist of real estate assets
(including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real
property as well as its allocable share of real estate assets held by joint
ventures or partnerships in which the Company participates), cash, cash items
and government securities. Second, not more than 25% of the Company's total
assets may be represented by securities other than those includable in the 75%
asset class. Finally, of the investments included in the 25% asset class, the
value of any one issuer's securities owned by the Company may not exceed five
percent of the value of the Company's total assets, and the Company may not own
more than ten percent of any one issuer's outstanding voting securities. The
Company, however, may own 100% of the stock of a corporation, which is called a
"qualified REIT subsidiary". Under that circumstance, the qualified REIT
subsidiary is ignored and its assets, income, gain, loss and other attributes
are treated as being owned or generated by the Company for federal income tax
purposes. The Company currently has 49 qualified REIT subsidiaries and other
affiliates which it employs in the conduct of its business.

         If the Company meets the 25% requirement at the close of any quarter,
it will not lose its status as a REIT because of a change in value of its assets
unless the discrepancy exists immediately after the acquisition of any security
or other property which is wholly or partly the result of an acquisition during
such quarter. Where a failure to satisfy the 25% asset test results from an
acquisition of securities or other property during a quarter, the failure can be
cured by disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the
close of such quarter. The Company maintains and intends to continue to maintain
adequate records of the value of its assets to maintain compliance with the 25%
asset test and to take such action as may be required to cure any failure to
satisfy the test within 30 days after the close of any quarter.

         In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute
dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to its shareholders in an amount
equal to or greater than the excess of (A) the sum of (i) 95% of the Company's
"real estate investment trust taxable income" (computed without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and the Company's net capital gain) and (ii) 95% of the
net income, if any, (after tax) from foreclosure property, over (B) the sum of
certain non-cash income (from certain imputed rental income and income from
transactions inadvertently failing to qualify as like-kind exchanges). These
requirements may be waived by the IRS if the REIT establishes that it failed to
meet them by reason of distributions previously made to meet the requirements of
the four percent excise tax described below. To the extent that the Company does
not distribute all of its net long-term capital gain and all of its "real estate
investment trust taxable income," it will be subject to tax thereon. In
addition, the Company will be subject to a four percent excise tax to the extent
it fails within a calendar year to make "required distributions" to its
shareholders of 85% of its ordinary income and 95% of its capital gain net
income plus the excess, if any, of the "grossed up required distribution" for
the preceding calendar year over the amount treated as distributed for such
preceding calendar year. For this purpose, the term "grossed up required
distribution" for any calendar year is the sum of the taxable income of the
Company for the taxable year (without regard to the deduction for dividends
paid) and all amounts from earlier years that are not treated as having been
distributed under the provision. Dividends declared in the last quarter of the
year and paid during the following January will be treated as having been paid
and received on December 31 of such earlier year. The Company's distributions
for 1999 were adequate to satisfy its distribution requirement.



                                       15

<PAGE>   16

         It is possible that the Company, from time to time, may have
insufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 95% distribution
requirement due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and
the actual payment of deductible expenses or dividends on the one hand and the
inclusion of such income and deduction of such expenses or dividends in arriving
at "real estate investment trust taxable income" on the other hand. The problem
of not having adequate cash to make required distributions could also occur as a
result of the repayment in cash of principal amounts due on the Company's
outstanding debt, particularly in the case of "balloon" repayments or as a
result of capital losses on short-term investments of working capital.
Therefore, the Company might find it necessary to arrange for short-term, or
possibly long-term, borrowing or new equity financing. If the Company were
unable to arrange such borrowing or financing as might be necessary to provide
funds for required distributions, its REIT status could be jeopardized.

         Under certain circumstances, the Company may be able to rectify a
failure to meet the distribution requirement for a year by paying "deficiency
dividends" to shareholders in a later year, which may be included in the
Company's deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. The Company may be
able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends;
however, the Company may in certain circumstances remain liable for the four
percent excise tax described above.

         The Company is also required to request annually (within 30 days after
the close of its taxable year) from record holders of specified percentages of
its shares written information regarding the ownership of such shares. A list of
shareholders failing to fully comply with the demand for the written statements
is required to be maintained as part of the Company's records required under the
Code. Rather than responding to the Company, the Code allows the shareholder to
submit such statement to the IRS with the shareholder's tax return.

Nonqualified REIT Subsidiary

         The Company participated in the organization of certain corporations
affiliated with the Company which are not qualified REIT subsidiaries
("Specified Affiliates") to enhance its management flexibility. Current tax law
in effect through the year 2000 restricts the ability of REITs to engage in
certain activities, such as certain third party management activities, but these
restrictions do not apply to the activities of a company that is not a REIT,
such as these Specified Affiliates, whose income is subject to federal income
tax.

         In order to permit the Company to participate in the income of its
third party management business and maintain its status as a REIT, portions of
the Company's business will be conducted by the Specified Affiliates. The
Company owns 100% of the nonvoting preferred stock and approximately 1% of the
voting common stock, and senior executives of the Company own 99% of the voting
common stock of the Specified Affiliates. The nonvoting preferred stock of the
Specified Affiliates represents substantially all of the equity interest in the
Specified Affiliates, but does not enable the Company to elect directors of the
Specified Affiliates who are elected by the senior executives of the Company as
the holders of 99% of the voting common stock of the Specified Affiliates. The
voting common stock held by the senior executives of the Company in the
Specified Affiliates is subject to agreements that are designed to ensure that
such stock will be held by officers of the Company.

         Effective January 1, 2001, the ownership and use of nonqualified REIT
subsidiaries such as the Specified Affiliates will be governed by new rules
enacted by the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. These
rules are discussed in more detail under "Ticket to Work and Work Incentives
Improvement Act of 1999 - Significant REIT Provisions - Taxable REIT
Subsidiaries."

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Leases

         The availability to the Company of, among other things, depreciation
deductions with respect to the facilities owned and leased by the Company
depends upon the treatment of the Company as the owner of the facilities and the
classification of the leases of the facilities as true leases, rather than as
sales or financing arrangements, for federal income tax purposes. The Company
has not requested nor has it received an opinion that it will be treated as the
owner of the portion of the facilities constituting real property and that the
leases will be treated as true leases of such real property for federal income
tax purposes. Based on the conclusions of the Company and its senior management
as to the values of its personalty, the Company has met and plans to meet in the
future its compliance with the 95% distribution requirement (and the required
distribution requirement) by making distributions on the assumption that it is
not entitled to depreciation deductions for that portion of the leased
facilities which it believes constitutes personal property, but to report the
amount of income taxable to its shareholders by taking into account such
depreciation. The value of real and personal property and whether certain
fixtures are real or personal property are factual evaluations that cannot be
determined with absolute certainty under current IRS regulations.

Other Issues

         With respect to property acquired from and leased back to the same or
an affiliated party, the IRS could assert that the Company realized prepaid
rental income in the year of purchase to the extent that the value of the leased
property exceeds the purchase price paid by the Company for that property. In
litigated cases involving sale-leasebacks which have considered this issue,
courts have concluded that buyers have realized prepaid rent where both parties
acknowledged that the purported purchase price for the property was
substantially less than fair market value and the purported rents were
substantially less than the fair market rentals. Because of the lack of clear
precedent and the inherently factual nature of the inquiry, the Company cannot
give complete assurance that the IRS could not successfully assert the existence
of prepaid rental income in such circumstances. The value of property and the
fair market rent for properties involved in sale-leasebacks are inherently
factual matters and always subject to challenge.

         Additionally, it should be noted that Section 467 of the Code
(concerning leases with increasing rents) may apply to those leases of the
Company which provide for rents that increase from one period to the next.
Section 467 provides that in the case of a so-called "disqualified leaseback
agreement," rental income must be accrued at a constant rate. If such constant
rent accrual is required, the Company would recognize rental income in excess of
cash rents and as a result, may fail to have adequate funds available to meet
the 95% dividend distribution requirement. "Disqualified leaseback agreements"
include leaseback transactions where a principal purpose of providing increasing
rent under the agreement is the avoidance of federal income tax. Since the
Section 467 regulations provide that rents will not be treated as increasing for
tax avoidance purposes where the increases are based upon a fixed percentage of
lessee receipts, additional rent provisions of leases containing such clauses
should not result in these leases being disqualified leaseback agreements. In
addition, the Section 467 regulations provide that leases providing for
fluctuations in rents by no more than a reasonable percentage, 15% for long-term
real property leases, from the average rent payable over the term of the lease
will be deemed to not be motivated by tax avoidance. The Company, based on its
evaluation of the value of the property and the terms of the leases, does not
believe it has rent subject to the provisions of Section 467.

         Subject to a safe harbor exception for annual sales of up to seven
properties (or properties with a basis of up to 10% of the REIT's assets) that
have been held for at least four years, gain from sales of property held for
sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is subject to a 100% tax.
The simultaneous exercise of options to acquire leased property that may be
granted to certain tenants or other events could result in sales of properties
by the Company that exceed this safe



                                       17

<PAGE>   18

harbor. However, the Company believes that in such event, it will not have held
such properties for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.

Depreciation of Properties

         For tax purposes, the Company's real property is being and will
continue to be depreciated over 31.5, 39 or 40 years using the straight-line
method of depreciation and its personal property over various periods utilizing
accelerated and straight-line methods of depreciation.

Failure to Qualify as a REIT

         If the Company were to fail to qualify for federal income tax purposes
as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions were found not to
apply, the Company would be subject to tax on its taxable income at regular
corporate rates (plus any applicable alternative minimum tax). Distributions to
shareholders in any year in which the Company failed to qualify would not be
deductible by the Company nor would they be required to be made. In such event,
to the extent of current and/or accumulated earnings and profits, all
distributions to shareholders would be taxable as ordinary income and, subject
to certain limitations in the Code, eligible for the 70% dividends received
deductions for corporate shareholders. Unless entitled to relief under specific
statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from taxation as a
REIT for the following four taxable years. It is not possible to state whether
in all circumstances the Company would be entitled to statutory relief from such
disqualification. Failure to qualify for even one year could result in the
Company's incurring substantial indebtedness (to the extent borrowings were
feasible) or liquidating substantial investments in order to pay the resulting
taxes.

Taxation of Tax-Exempt Shareholders

         The IRS has issued a revenue ruling in which it held that amounts
distributed by a REIT to a tax-exempt employees' pension trust do not constitute
"unrelated business taxable income," even though the REIT may have financed
certain of its activities with acquisition indebtedness. Although revenue
rulings are interpretive in nature and are subject to revocation or modification
by the IRS, based upon the revenue ruling and the analysis therein,
distributions made by the Company to a U.S. shareholder that is a tax-exempt
entity (such as an individual retirement account ("IRA") or a 401(k) plan)
should not constitute unrelated business taxable income unless such tax-exempt
U.S. shareholder has financed the acquisition of its shares with "acquisition
indebtedness" within the meaning of the Code, or the shares are otherwise used
in an unrelated trade or business conducted by such U.S. shareholder.

         Special rules apply to certain tax-exempt pension funds (including
401(k) plans but excluding IRAs or government pension plans) that own more than
10% (measured by value) of a "pension-held REIT" at any time during a taxable
year beginning after December 31, 1993. Such a pension fund may be required to
treat a certain percentage of all dividends received from the REIT during the
year as unrelated business taxable income. The percentage is equal to the ratio
of the REIT's gross income (less direct expenses related thereto) derived from
the conduct of unrelated trades or businesses determined as if the REIT were a
tax-exempt pension fund, to the REIT's gross income (less direct expenses
related thereto) from all sources. The special rules will not apply to require a
pension fund to recharacterize a portion of its dividends as unrelated business
taxable income unless the percentage computed is at least 5%.

         A REIT will be treated as a "pension-held REIT" if the REIT is
predominantly held by tax-exempt pension funds and if the REIT would otherwise
fail to satisfy the "five or fewer test" discussed above, if the stock or
beneficial interests of the REIT held by such tax-exempt pension funds were not
treated as held directly by their respective beneficiaries. A REIT is
predominantly held by tax-exempt pension funds if at least one tax-exempt
pension fund holds more than 25%



                                       18

<PAGE>   19

(measured by value) of the REIT's stock or beneficial interests, or if one or
more tax-exempt pension funds (each of which owns more than 10% (measured by
value) of the REIT's stock or beneficial interests) own in the aggregate more
than 50% (measured by value) of the REIT's stock or beneficial interests. The
Company believes that it will not be treated as a pension-held REIT. However,
because the shares of the Company will be publicly traded, no assurance can be
given that the Company is not or will not become a pension-held REIT.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders

         The rules governing United States federal income taxation of any person
other than (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or
partnership created in the United States or under the laws of the United States
or of any state thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is includable in income
for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if
a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over
the administration of the trust and one or more United States fiduciaries have
the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust ("Non-U.S.
Shareholders") are highly complex, and the following discussion is intended only
as a summary of such rules. Prospective Non-U.S. Shareholders should consult
with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of United States federal,
state, and local income tax laws on investment in stock of the Company,
including any reporting requirements.

         In general, Non-U.S. Shareholders are subject to regular United States
income tax with respect to their investment in stock of the Company in the same
manner as a U.S. shareholder if such investment is "effectively connected" with
the Non-U.S. Shareholder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
A corporate Non-U.S. Shareholder that receives income with respect to its
investment in stock of the Company that is (or is treated as) effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States also may
be subject to the 30% branch profits tax imposed by the Code, which is payable
in addition to regular United States corporate income tax. The following
discussion addresses only the United States taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders
whose investment in stock of the Company is not effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

Ordinary Dividends

         Distributions made by the Company that are not attributable to gain
from the sale or exchange by the Company of United States real property
interests and that are not designated by the Company as capital gain dividends
will be treated as ordinary income dividends to the extent made out of current
or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company. Generally, such ordinary
income dividends will be subject to United States withholding tax at the rate of
30% on the gross amount of the dividend paid unless reduced or eliminated by an
applicable United States income tax treaty. The Company expects to withhold
United States income tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such
dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Shareholder unless a lower treaty rate applies and
the Non-U.S. Shareholder has filed an IRS Form 1001 with the Company, certifying
the Non-U.S. Shareholder's entitlement to treaty benefits.

Non-Dividend Distributions

         Distributions made by the Company in excess of its current and
accumulated earnings and profits to a Non-U.S. Shareholder who holds 5% or less
of the stock of the Company (after application of certain ownership rules) will
not be subject to U.S. income or withholding tax. If it cannot be determined at
the time a distribution is made whether or not such distribution will be in
excess of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the
distribution will be subject to withholding at the rate applicable to a dividend
distribution. However, the Non-U.S. Shareholder may seek a refund from the IRS
of any amount withheld if it is subsequently determined that such



                                       19

<PAGE>   20


distribution was, in fact, in excess of the Company's then current and
accumulated earnings and profits.

Capital Gain Dividends

         As long as the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, distributions
made by the Company that are attributable to gain from the sale or exchange by
the Company of any United States real property interests ("USRPI") will be taxed
to a Non-U.S. Shareholder under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act
of 1980 ("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, such distributions are taxed to a Non-U.S.
Shareholder as if such distributions were gains "effectively connected" with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Accordingly, a Non-U.S.
Shareholder will be taxed on such distributions at the same capital gain rates
applicable to U.S. Shareholders (subject to any applicable alternative minimum
tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien
individuals). Distributions subject to FIRPTA also may be subject to the 30%
branch profits tax in the case of a corporate Non-U.S. Shareholder that is not
entitled to treaty relief or exemption. The Company will be required to withhold
tax from any distribution to a Non-U.S. Shareholder that could be designated by
the Company as a USRPI capital gain dividend in an amount equal to 35% of the
gross distribution. The amount of tax withheld is fully creditable against the
Non-U.S. Shareholder's FIRPTA tax liability, and if such amount exceeds the
Non-U.S. Shareholder's federal income tax liability for the applicable taxable
year, the Non-U.S. Shareholder may seek a refund of the excess from the IRS. In
addition, if the Company designates prior distributions as capital gain
dividends, subsequent distributions, up to the amount of such prior
distributions, will be treated as capital gain dividends for purposes of
withholding.

Disposition of Stock of the Company

         Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Shareholder upon the sale or exchange of
stock of the Company generally will not be subject to United States taxation
unless such stock constitutes a USRPI within the meaning of FIRPTA. The stock of
the Company will not constitute a USRPI so long as the Company is a
"domestically controlled REIT." A "domestically controlled REIT" is a REIT in
which at all times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of
its stock or beneficial interests are held directly or indirectly by Non-U.S.
Shareholders. The Company believes that it will be a "domestically controlled
REIT," and therefore that the sale of stock of the Company will not be subject
to taxation under FIRPTA. However, because the stock of the Company is publicly
traded, no assurance can be given that the Company is or will continue to be a
"domestically controlled REIT." Notwithstanding the foregoing, gain from the
sale or exchange of stock of the Company that is not otherwise subject to FIRPTA
will be taxable to a Non-U.S. Shareholder if the Non-U.S. Shareholder is a
nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or
more during the taxable year and has a "tax home" in the United States. In such
case, the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% United States
withholding tax on the amount of such individual's gain.

         If the Company did not constitute a "domestically controlled REIT,"
gain arising from the sale or exchange by a Non-U.S. Shareholder of stock of the
Company would be subject to United States taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a
USRPI unless (i) the stock of the Company is "regularly traded" (as defined in
the applicable Treasury regulations) and (ii) the selling Non-U.S. Shareholder's
interest (after application of certain constructive ownership rules) in the
Company is 5% or less at all times during the five years preceding the sale or
exchange. If gain on the sale or exchange of the stock of the Company were
subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the Non-U.S. Shareholder would be subject to
regular United States income tax with respect to such gain in the same manner as
a U.S. Shareholder (subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax, a special
alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals and the
possible application of the 30% branch profits tax in the case of foreign
corporations), and the purchaser of the stock of the Company (including the
Company) would be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 10% of the



                                       20
<PAGE>   21


purchase price. Additionally, in such case, distributions on the stock of the
Company to the extent they represent a return of capital or capital gain from
the sale of the stock of the Company, rather than dividends, would be subject to
a 10% withholding tax.

         Capital gains not subject to FIRPTA will nonetheless be taxable in the
United States to a Non-U.S. Shareholder in two cases: (i) if the Non-U.S.
Shareholder's investment in the stock of the Company is effectively connected
with a U.S. trade or business conducted by such Non-U.S. Shareholder, the
Non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. shareholder
with respect to such gain, or (ii) if the Non-U.S. Shareholder is a nonresident
alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more
during the taxable year and has a "tax home" in the United States, the
nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual's
capital gain.

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding Tax

         The Company will report to its U.S. shareholders and to the IRS the
amount of dividends paid during each calendar year and the amount of tax
withheld, if any, with respect thereto. Under the backup withholding rules, a
U.S. shareholder may be subject to backup withholding, at the rate of 31% on
dividends paid unless such U.S. shareholder (i) is a corporation or falls within
certain other exempt categories and, when required, can demonstrate this fact,
or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of
exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable
requirements of the backup withholding rules. A U.S. shareholder who does not
provide the Company with his correct taxpayer identification number also may be
subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amount paid as backup withholding
will be creditable against the U.S. shareholder's federal income tax liability.
In addition, the Company may be required to withhold a portion of any capital
gain distributions made to U.S. shareholders who fail to certify their
non-foreign status to the Company.

         Additional issues may arise pertaining to information reporting and
backup withholding with respect to Non-U.S. Shareholders, and Non-U.S.
Shareholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to any such
information reporting and backup withholding requirements.

State and Local Taxes

         The Company and its shareholders may be subject to state or local
taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which it or
they transact business or reside. The state and local tax treatment of the
Company and its shareholders may not conform to the federal income tax
consequences discussed above. Consequently, prospective holders should consult
their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on an
investment in the stock of the Company.

Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999--Significant REIT
Provisions

         The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (the
"Act"), which includes several provisions pertinent to REITs, was enacted on
December 17, 1999 and will generally be effective for the Company beginning in
2001. The provisions of the Act that are pertinent to the Company are as
follows:



                                       21
<PAGE>   22


         Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRS")

         A REIT will be allowed to own up to 100% of the stock of TRS, which
will be allowed to provide services to the REIT's tenants and others without
disqualifying the rents that the REIT receives from its tenants. The scope of
the activities of all such TRS in comparison to that of the REIT's overall
business of real estate ownership and operation has been limited under the Act
by requiring that the securities of all TRS may not exceed 20% of the value of
the REIT's assets. The dividends of TRS will not constitute qualified income for
purposes of the 75% income test. In addition, TRS will generally not be allowed
to operate health care or lodging facilities. A health care facility is
generally defined to be a hospital, nursing facility, assisted living facility,
congregate care facility or other licensed facility extending medical, nursing
or ancillary services to patients.

         TRS will be, as implied by the name, subject to federal corporate
income tax in much the same manner as other, non-REIT C corporations, with the
exceptions that the deductions for debt and rental payments made by TRS to the
REIT will be limited and a 100% excise tax will be imposed on transactions
between a TRS and the affiliated REIT or that REIT's tenants that are not
conducted on an arm's length basis. TRS are corporations in which a REIT owns
stock, directly or indirectly, and for which both the REIT and the corporations
have made TRS elections.

         Subject to transition rules that exempt existing arrangements to the
extent that the third party subsidiary does not engage in a substantial new line
of business or acquire any substantial asset or that the REIT does not acquire
any securities of the subsidiary, a REIT will not be allowed to own more than
10% of the vote or value of the securities (other than certain debt securities)
of a non-REIT C corporation other than TRS. Existing third-party subsidiaries
will be allowed to convert into a TRS on a tax-free basis.

         Health Care Properties

         The hiring of an independent contractor to manage a qualified health
care property will not cause the property to cease to be foreclosure property
solely because the REIT receives rental income from the contractor with respect
to one or more properties. A REIT will also be able to make a foreclosure
property election with respect to qualified health care properties acquired as
the result of the termination of the lease of such property.

         Distribution Requirement

         A REIT will be required to distribute only 90% of its taxable income,
as compared to the current law's 95% level.

         Personal Property Rents

         Rents received by a REIT attributable to personal property leased with
real property will be treated as qualified income to the extent that the fair
market value of the personal property does not exceed 15% of the fair market
value of the total rented property. The law currently in effect makes this
determination based upon the relative adjusted tax basis of the personal
property compared to that of the total rented property.

         Other Changes

         The Act also relaxes the requirements for testing whether an entity
qualifies as an independent contractor, extends the deficiency procedure to
assist REITs with distributing non-REIT earnings and profits and further
restricts the estimated tax payment rules applicable to the owners of a closely
held REIT. In changes not directly aimed at REITs, but nonetheless potentially
affecting



                                       22
<PAGE>   23

them, the Act limits the availability of the installment method of accounting
and extends through 2001 the availability of a deduction for certain
environmental remediation expenditures.

         Effect on the Company

         The TRS rules will afford the Company the opportunity to offer services
to its tenants that are prohibited or require undue administrative complexity
under current law. In addition, the liberalization of the foreclosure property
rules for qualified health care properties will offer the Company more
flexibility in the event that the Company finds it necessary to operate any of
its properties through an independent contractor due to foreclosure or lease
termination. The Company is otherwise unable to anticipate the specific impact
of these or any other of the Act's changes.

Real Estate Investment Trust Tax Proposals

         The President's Fiscal Year 2001 Budget Proposal (the "Proposal")
includes several provisions potentially affecting REITs. One notable provision
would increase the percentage of a REIT's ordinary and capital gain income for a
particular taxable year that the REIT must generally distribute within that year
(in order to avoid the four percent excise tax on the undistributed portion) to
98%. This provision would be effective for taxable years beginning in 2001 and
would largely eliminate the effect of the Taxpayer Relief Extension Act's
reduction in a REIT's taxable income distribution requirement to 90%. Although
the Company generally distributes in excess of 98% of its ordinary and capital
gain income within the year in which it was earned, this provision would make it
more difficult for the Company to consistently escape the four percent excise
tax as it has done in the past. The Proposal also includes provisions affecting
certain closely held REITs, limiting the dividend treatment of "fast-pay"
preferred stock dividends by non-traded REITs, and permanently extending the
deductibility of remediation expenditures for qualified contaminated sites. The
Proposal is subject to significant contingencies, including the differing views
of the President and Congress regarding the broader issues of tax and spending
policy. The Company is unable to anticipate the resolution of these
contingencies or, except as noted, the impact upon the Company should any or all
of these provisions be enacted.

         Investors must recognize that the present federal income tax treatment
of the Company may be modified by future legislative, judicial or administrative
actions or decisions at any time, which may be retroactive in effect, and, as a
result, any such action or decision may affect investments and commitments
previously made. The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly
under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS in
the Treasury Department, resulting in statutory changes as well as promulgation
of new, or revisions to existing, regulations and revised interpretations of
established concepts. No prediction can be made as to the likelihood as to
passage of any new tax legislation or other provisions either directly or
indirectly affecting the Company or its shareholders.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

         The following is a summary of material considerations arising under
ERISA and the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Code that
may be relevant to a holder of stock of the Company. This discussion does not
propose to deal with all aspects of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or, to the
extent not preempted, state law that may be relevant to particular employee
benefit plan shareholders (including plans subject to Title I of ERISA, other
employee benefit plans and IRAs subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of Section 4975 of the Code, and governmental plans and church plans that are
exempt from ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code but that may be subject to state
law requirements) in light of their particular circumstances.




                                       23
<PAGE>   24


         A fiduciary making the decision to invest in stock of the Company on
behalf of a prospective purchaser which is an ERISA plan, a tax-qualified
retirement plan, an IRA or other employee benefit plan is advised to consult its
own legal advisor regarding the specific considerations arising under ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code, and (to the extent not preempted) state law with
respect to the purchase, ownership or sale of stock by such plan or IRA.

Employee Benefit Plans, Tax-qualified Retirement Plans and IRAs

         Each fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA
(an "ERISA Plan") should carefully consider whether an investment in stock of
the Company is consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA. In
particular, the fiduciary requirements of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA require (i)
an ERISA Plan's investments to be prudent and in the best interests of the ERISA
Plan, its participants and beneficiaries, (ii) an ERISA Plan's investments to be
diversified in order to reduce the risk of large losses, unless it is clearly
prudent not to do so, (iii) an ERISA Plan's investments to be authorized under
ERISA and the terms of the governing documents of the ERISA Plan and (iv) that
the fiduciary not cause the ERISA Plan to enter into transactions prohibited
under Section 406 of ERISA. In determining whether an investment in stock of the
Company is prudent for purposes of ERISA, the appropriate fiduciary of an ERISA
Plan should consider all of the facts and circumstances, including whether the
investment is reasonably designed, as a part of the ERISA Plan's portfolio for
which the fiduciary has investment responsibility, to meet the objectives of the
ERISA Plan, taking into consideration the risk of loss and opportunity for gain
(or other return) from the investment, the diversification, cash flow and
funding requirements of the ERISA Plan and the liquidity and current return of
the ERISA Plan's portfolio. A fiduciary should also take into account the nature
of the Company's business, the length of the Company's operating history and
other matters described below under "Cautionary Statements".

         The fiduciary of an IRA or of an employee benefit plan not subject to
Title I of ERISA because it is a governmental or church plan or because it does
not cover common law employees (a "Non-ERISA Plan") should consider that such an
IRA or Non-ERISA Plan may only make investments that are authorized by the
appropriate governing documents, not prohibited under Section 4975 of the Code
and permitted under applicable state law.

Status of the Company under ERISA

         A prohibited transaction may occur if the assets of the Company are
deemed to be assets of the investing Plans and "parties in interest" or
"disqualified persons" as defined in ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code,
respectively deal with such assets. In certain circumstances where a Plan holds
an interest in an entity, the assets of the entity are deemed to be Plan assets
(the "look-through rule"). Under such circumstances, any person that exercises
authority or control with respect to the management or disposition of such
assets is a Plan fiduciary. Plan assets are not defined in ERISA or the Code,
but the United States Department of Labor issued regulations in 1987 (the
"Regulations") that outline the circumstances under which a Plan's interest in
an entity will be subject to the look-through rule.

         The Regulations apply only to the purchase by a Plan of an "equity
interest" in an entity, such as common stock or common shares of beneficial
interest of a REIT. However, the Regulations provide an exception to the
look-through rule for equity interests that are "publicly-offered securities."

         Under the Regulations, a "publicly-offered security" is a security that
is (i) freely transferable, (ii) part of a class of securities that is
widely-held and (iii) either (a) part of a class of securities that is
registered under section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or (b) sold to a Plan as part of an
offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and the class of securities of





                                       24
<PAGE>   25

which such security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120
days (or such longer period allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission)
after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering of such
securities to the public occurred. Whether a security is considered "freely
transferable" depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Generally, if
the security is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000
or less, any restriction on or prohibition against any transfer or assignment of
such security for the purposes of preventing a termination or reclassification
of the entity for federal or state tax purposes will not of itself prevent the
security from being considered freely transferable. A class of securities is
considered "widely-held" if it is a class of securities that is owned by 100 or
more investors independent of the issuer and of one another.

         The Company believes that the stock of the Company will meet the
criteria of the publicly-offered securities exception to the look-through rule
in that the stock of the Company is freely transferable, the minimum investment
is less than $10,000 and the only restrictions upon its transfer are those
required under federal income tax laws to maintain the Company's status as a
REIT. Second, stock of the Company is held by 100 or more investors and at least
100 or more of these investors are independent of the Company and of one
another. Third, the stock of the Company has been and will be part of offerings
of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and will be registered under the Exchange Act within
120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the Company during which an
offering of such securities to the public occurs. Accordingly, the Company
believes that if a Plan purchases stock of the Company, the Company's assets
should not be deemed to be Plan assets and, therefore, that any person who
exercises authority or control with respect to the Company's assets should not
be treated as a Plan fiduciary for purposes of the prohibited transaction rules
of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

         From time to time the Company may make forward-looking statements that
reflect its current opinion about future events and financial performance.
Readers should understand that the following important factors, among others,
could affect the Company's actual results. These factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company has discussed many
of these factors in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S GENERAL GROWTH STRATEGY

         The Company follows a general growth strategy of providing integrated
real estate services to the healthcare industry, including the following:

         -    Asset management and strategic planning for real estate;

         -    Property administration, management and leasing services;

         -    Build-to-suit development of healthcare properties;

         -    The acquisition of existing healthcare properties; and

         -    Equity co-investment in healthcare provider acquisition
              transactions.

         By providing these services, the Company believes it can differentiate
its market position, acquire needed capital, expand its asset base and increase
revenue. The Company believes, however, that there are various risks inherent in
this growth strategy. The following factors, among others, could affect the
Company's ability to grow, and investors should consider them carefully.



                                       25
<PAGE>   26


         THERE IS CONSIDERABLE COMPETITION IN THE COMPANY'S MARKET.

         The Company competes for property management, development and new
purchases with, among others:

         -     Investors;

         -     Healthcare providers;

         -     Other healthcare related real estate investment trusts;

         -     Real estate partnerships; and

         -     Financial institutions.

         Competition for attractive investments results in investment pressure
on the Company. The Company intends to adhere to its established acquisition
standards; however, increased competition for such assets from other REITs and
traditional and non-traditional equity and debt capital sources may affect the
growth and financial return of the Company. The Company's properties are also
subject to competition from the properties of other healthcare providers, some
of which have greater capital resources than the providers leasing the Company's
facilities. All of the Company's properties operate in a competitive environment
and patients and referral sources, including physicians, may change their
preferences for a healthcare facility from time to time.

         THE COMPANY PRESENTLY HAS LIMITED ACCESS TO CAPITAL WHICH WILL SLOW THE
COMPANY'S GROWTH.

         A REIT is required to make dividend distributions and retains little
capital for growth. As a result, a REIT is required to grow through the steady
investment of new capital in real estate assets. From 1992 until late 1998, the
REIT industry was in an expansion mode, and capital was readily available to
REITs. By the end of 1999, however, market valuations of REIT shares (including
the Company's shares) had declined substantially with the result that the
Company presently has limited access to capital from the equity market.
Virtually all of the Company's available capital in 2000 will be used to meet
existing commitments and to reduce debt. The Company will require additional
capital to acquire healthcare properties. The Company may not be able to obtain
additional equity or debt capital or dispose of assets at the time it requires
additional capital. Moreover, the Company may not be able to obtain capital on
terms that will permit it to acquire healthcare properties on a competitive
basis.

         THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL OR DISPOSE OF
ASSETS AT THE TIME IT REQUIRES THE FUNDS TO PAY ITS OBLIGATIONS.

         The Company currently has substantial bank and institutional
indebtedness with significant payments due in 2000. The Company may also be
required to borrow money and mortgage its properties to fund any shortfall of
cash necessary to meet cash distribution requirements necessary to maintain its
REIT status. The Company anticipates that it will be able to obtain such
financing, as needed; however, if the Company is unable to obtain sufficient
funds within the necessary time periods, it will default on its obligations.

         FAILURE OF THE COMPANY TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE ITS DIVIDEND COULD
REDUCE THE MARKET PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK WHICH COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR
THE COMPANY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL EQUITY CAPITAL ON FAVORABLE TERMS, IF AT ALL.




                                       26
<PAGE>   27


         The Company has raised its quarterly dividend each consecutive quarter
since the Company's initial public offering. The ability to maintain or raise
its dividend is dependent, to a large part, on growth of funds from operations.
This growth in turn depends upon increased revenues from additional investments,
rental increases and income from administrative and management services.

         DEVELOPMENT FUNDING INVOLVES GREATER RISKS THAN ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
PURCHASE AND LEASE-BACK OF OPERATING PROPERTIES.

         Development funding arrangements require the Company to provide the
funding to enable healthcare operators to build facilities on property owned or
leased by the Company. If the developer or contractor fails to complete the
project under the terms of the development agreement, the Company would be
forced to become involved in the development to ensure completion or the Company
would lose the property.

         TRANSFERS OF OPERATIONS OF HEALTHCARE FACILITIES ARE SUBJECT TO
REGULATORY APPROVALS NOT REQUIRED FOR TRANSFERS OF OTHER TYPES OF COMMERCIAL
OPERATIONS AND REAL ESTATE.

         Many of the Company's properties are special-purpose facilities that
may not be easily adaptable to uses unrelated to healthcare.

RISKS RELATED GROWTH OF REVENUE AND FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

         The Company's general growth strategy requires continuing growth in the
Company's funds from operations which could be negatively affected by the
following factors:

         OPERATORS OF SENIOR LIVING ASSETS HAVE COME UNDER INCREASED FINANCIAL
PRESSURE WHICH MAY AFFECT THEIR ABILITY TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO THE
COMPANY.

         Due to increased competition in the senior living assets sector,
operators of senior living facilities have come under increased financial
pressure; additionally, the implementation of the "prospective payment system"
for Medicare reimbursements had added pressure on operators. As a result of the
Capstone merger, the Company's portfolio of senior living facilities increased
substantially. Since the Capstone merger, three operators in this sector have
declared bankruptcy; however, the Company has sold, leased or is in the process
of leasing these properties. The Company cannot be certain that additional
operator failures in this sector will not occur.

         THE INVESTMENT RETURNS AVAILABLE FROM EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE
DEPEND LARGELY ON THE AMOUNT OF INCOME EARNED AND CAPITAL APPRECIATION GENERATED
BY THE RELATED PROPERTIES, AS WELL AS THE EXPENSES INCURRED.

         Real property investments are generally subject to varying degrees of
risk. To offset the threat of insufficient revenue to meet operating expenses,
debt service, capital expenditures and dividend payments, the Company requires
net master leases or similar financial support with primary term periods for
most of its investments. Nevertheless, the Company's properties are subject to
all of the normal risks associated with real estate investments.

         ADVERSE TRENDS IN HEALTHCARE PROVIDER OPERATIONS CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT
THE LEASE REVENUES AND VALUES OF THE COMPANY'S INVESTMENTS.

         The healthcare service industry continues to be a profitable, growing
segment of the economy, supported by fundamentals that ensure continued growth.
However, the industry is currently experiencing:



                                       27

<PAGE>   28


         -    Substantial changes in the method of delivery of healthcare
              services;

         -    Rising competition among healthcare providers for patients;

         -    Continuing pressure by private and governmental payors; and

         -    Increased scrutiny by federal and state authorities.

The changes can affect the economic performance of some or all of the tenants
and sponsors who provide financial support to the Company's investments and, in
turn, the lease revenues and the value of the Company's property investments.

         THE COMPANY'S CONCENTRATION ON A FEW HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WOULD MAGNIFY
THE NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY IF A LARGER PROVIDER WERE TO SUFFER FINANCIAL
HARDSHIPS.

         Currently, 48% of the Company's real estate portfolio, including
mortgages, is leased to, or supported by its five largest healthcare provider
clients. To varying degrees, these providers have experienced the pressures
listed above. Any financial problems experienced by these providers would
negatively impact the support arrangements that the Company has with these
providers and require the Company to rely solely upon rental revenue from
occupant tenants. If the Company is required to rely solely upon tenant
occupants with respect to one or more properties, it will experience the typical
risks associated with real estate investments enjoying no supplemental credit
support, including competition for individual tenants and the renewal or
roll-over of existing leases.

         IF THE INPATIENT OCCUPANCY RATE AT A HOSPITAL NEAR A COMPANY FACILITY
DETERIORATED TO A LEVEL AT WHICH OPERATING CASH FLOWS WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT TO
COVER THE PAYMENTS TO THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY WOULD HAVE TO RELY UPON THE
GENERAL CREDIT OF THE PROVIDER OR THE RELATED GUARANTOR, IF ANY.

         Most of the hospitals adjacent to or associated with the Company's
current properties and those to be acquired by the Company are substantially
less than fully occupied on an inpatient basis. Despite such occupancy rates,
however, the operating cash flow produced by such hospitals adequately covers
related payments to the Company.

         IF A PROVIDER LOST ITS LICENSURE OR CERTIFICATION, THE COMPANY WOULD
HAVE TO OBTAIN ANOTHER PROVIDER FOR THE AFFECTED FACILITY.

         Healthcare providers are subject to federal and state laws and
regulations which govern financial and other arrangements between healthcare
operators. If the Company could not attract another healthcare provider on a
timely basis or on acceptable terms, the Company's revenues would suffer.

         A FAILURE OF THE COMPANY TO REINVEST THE PROCEEDS FROM SECURITIES
OFFERINGS AND PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE
COMPANY'S FUTURE REVENUES.

         From time to time, the Company will have cash available from (1) the
proceeds of sales of shares of its securities, (2) the sale of its properties,
including non-elective dispositions, under the terms of master leases or similar
financial support arrangements, and (3) principal payments on its mortgage
investments. These arrangements require, among other items, a disposition of
properties in the event of a healthcare provider's default, and upon the
healthcare provider's exercise of an option to repurchase these properties. The
Company must re-invest these proceeds, on a timely basis, in another healthcare
investment or in a qualified short-term investment. While the Company has been
able to do so in the past, the Company may not be able to invest proceeds on a
timely basis or on acceptable terms in the future.


                                       28

<PAGE>   29

         Delays in acquiring properties will negatively impact revenues and may
have the potential to adversely effect the Company's ability to increase its
distributions to shareholders.

         TERMINATION OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ENGAGEMENTS CAN RESULT IN LOST
INCOME.

         The Company is engaged on its own behalf, and for the benefit of
third-party property owners, in the following activities:

         -    Asset and property management;

         -    Day-to-day property management;

         -    Leasing of multi-tenanted healthcare properties; and

         -    Supervision of the development of new healthcare properties.

The terms of these service engagements can vary in duration from month-to-month
to 15 years. Additionally, the Company regularly terminates engagements as a
result of completion of the engagement assignment or the sale of managed
properties by the Company or third-party owners. Termination of engagements
results in lost future income stream. In addition, unamortized capital costs
incurred in obtaining engagements must be charged against current revenues or
established reserves. The Company has experienced significant fluctuation in the
number of engagements in effect at any given time. This fluctuation generates
uncertainty as to the predictability of net revenues. The Company is also
subject to significant uncertainties because of the dynamic nature of the
healthcare service industry, and increased competition from other real estate
management companies entering the healthcare services industry. The Company may
not be able to continue to be able to market or cross-sell its property
management services successfully.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S STATUS AS A REIT

         FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ITS STATUS AS A REIT, EVEN IN ONE TAXABLE YEAR,
COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY TO REDUCE ITS DIVIDENDS DRAMATICALLY.

         The Company intends to qualify at all times as a REIT under the Code.
If in any taxable year the Company does not qualify as a REIT, it would be taxed
as a corporation. As a result, the Company could not deduct its distributions to
the shareholders in computing its taxable income. Depending upon the
circumstances, a REIT that loses its qualification in one year may not be
eligible to re-qualify during the four succeeding years. Further, certain
transactions or other events could lead to the Company being taxed at rates
ranging from four to 100 percent on certain income or gains.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

EXECUTIVE OFFICES

         The Company's headquarters, located in offices at 3310 West End Avenue
in Nashville, Tennessee, are leased from an unrelated third party. The lease
agreement, covering approximately 22,551 square feet of rented space, expires on
October 31, 2003, with two five-year renewal options. Annual rental is
approximately $421,000.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On March 22, 1999, HR Acquisitions I Corporation, formerly known as
Capstone Capital Corporation ("HRT"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
filed suit against Medistar Corporation and its affiliate, Medix Construction
Company in United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama,
Southern Division. HRT is seeking damages in excess of two million dollars
arising out of the development and construction of four real estate projects
located in different parts of the United States. Medistar and Medix served as
the developer and contractor, respectively, for the projects. HRT has asserted
claims for damages relating to, among others, alleged breaches of the
development and contracting obligations, failure to perform in accordance with
contract terms and specifications, and other deficiencies in performance by
Medistar and Medix. On June 10, 1999, Medistar and Medix filed its answer and
counterclaim asserting a variety of alleged legal theories, claims for damages
for alleged deficiencies by HRT and the Company in the performance of alleged
obligations, and for damage to their business reputation. Attempts at mediation
have not resulted in a settlement of the disputes. The Company's prosecution of
its claims and defense of the counterclaims will be vigorous. While the Company
cannot predict the range of possible loss or outcome, the Company believes that,
even though the asserted cross claims seek substantial monetary damages, the
allegations made by Medistar and Medix are not factually or legally meritorious,
are subject to sustainable defenses and are, to a significant extent, covered by
liability insurance.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITYHOLDERS

         No matter was submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth

                             HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST
                                  INCORPORATED

                            EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         The principal objective of this Executive Retirement Plan is to ensure
the payment of a competitive level of retirement income in order to attract,
retain, and motivate selected executives. The Plan is designed to provide a
benefit which, when added to other retirement income of the executive, will meet
the objective described above. Eligibility for participation in the plan shall
be limited to executives selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. This Plan will become effective on January 1, 1993.

2. DEFINITIONS

         (A) "ACCRUED BENEFIT" means, as of any date, the Participant's
retirement benefit to begin at his Normal Retirement Date (as hereinafter
defined), determined pursuant to Section 4.2 and based on his Final Average
Earnings on the date of calculation and Service projected to Normal Retirement
Date multiplied by the ratio of years of Service as of calculation date over
years of Service projected to age 65.

         (B) "BASIC PLAN" means the retirement plan, a defined benefit and/or a
defined contribution plan, covering essentially all employees of the Company,
including a Participant.

         (C) "BASIC PLAN BENEFIT" means the amount of benefit payable from the
Basic Plan to a Participant in the form of a straight life annuity. If the Basic
Plan includes a defined contribution plan, the lump sum value will be converted
to a straight life annuity based on actuarial factors selected by the Committee.
If the Basic Plan provides for employee contributions or employer contributions
[other than matching contributions, if any, within the contemplation of Section
401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code] which are based upon an employee's deferral
of compensation, such as under a cash or deferred arrangement under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Basic Plan Benefit shall not
include benefits which are attributable to such contributions and any earnings
thereon.

         (D) "COMMITTEE" means the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company, which the Board of Directors has given authority to
administer this Plan.

         (E) "COMPANY" means Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, a Maryland
corporation.

         (F) "DISABILITY" means any termination from the Company's employment
during the life of a Participant and prior to age 65 by reason of a
Participant's total and permanent disability, as determined by the Committee, in
its sole and absolute discretion. A Participant, who makes application for and
qualifies for disability benefits under the Company's disability plan or under
any similar plan provided by the Company, as now in effect or as hereinafter
amended (the "LTD Plans"), shall qualify for Disability under this Plan, unless
the Committee determines that the Participant is not totally and permanently
disabled. A Participant who fails to qualify for disability benefits under the
LTD Plans (whether or not the Participant makes application for disability
benefits thereunder) shall not be deemed to be totally and permanently disabled
under this Plan, unless the Committee otherwise determines, based upon the
opinion of a qualified physician or medical clinic selected by the Committee to
the effect that a condition of total and permanent disability exists.

         (G) "EARNINGS" means total annual cash compensation, including base
salary, annual incentives awards, and deferred compensation.



                                       1
<PAGE>   2

         (H) "FINAL AVERAGE EARNINGS" means the average of the three (3)
highest, not necessarily consecutive, years' Earnings.

         (I) "OTHER RETIREMENT INCOME" means the Basic Plan Benefit payable to a
Participant from the Basic Plan and Social Security.

         (J) "PARTICIPANT" means an employee of the Company designated as a
Participant by the Committee. An employee shall become a Participant in the Plan
as of the date he or she is individually selected by, and specifically named in
the resolutions of, the Committee to be included in the Plan.

         (K) "PLAN" means the Company's Executive Retirement Plan.

         (L) "RETIREMENT" means the termination of a Participant's employment
with the Company on one of the retirement dates specified in Section 3.1.

         (M) "SERVICE" means a Participant's total years of employment with the
Company from date of hire to date of termination of employment.

         (N) "SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT" means the annual Primary Insurance Amount
estimated by the Committee to be payable to the Participant at age 65 under the
Federal Social Security Act, provided, however, that:

             (i)    the Social Security Benefit for a Participant who dies,
                    retires or terminates employment before age 65 will be
                    calculated assuming:

                    (A)      the Participant will not receive any future wages
                             that would be treated as wages for purposes of the
                             Federal Social Security Act; and

                    (B)      the Participant will elect to begin receiving his
                             Social Security Benefit as of the earliest age then
                             allowable under the Act or, if later, at actual
                             date of Retirement.

             (ii)   the Social Security Benefit for a Participant who retires on
                    a Disability Retirement date will be calculated assuming
                    that the Participant's disability would make him eligible
                    for Social Security disability benefits.

             (iii)  once calculated, the Social Security Benefit will be frozen
                    as of the date the Participant dies, retires, or terminates
                    employment, whichever is applicable.

         (O) "SURVIVING SPOUSE" means the spouse of a Participant who is legally
married to the Participant on the Participant's termination or death.

         Where appearing in the Plan, the masculine gender will be deemed to
include the feminine gender, and the singular may include the plural, unless the
context clearly indicates the contrary.

3. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS

3.1 Each Participant is eligible to retire and receive a benefit under this Plan
beginning on one of the following dates:

    (A)      "NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE," which is the first day of the month
             following the month in which the Participant reaches age 65 and has
              completed five (5) years of Service.

    (B)      "EARLY RETIREMENT DATE," which is the first day of any month
             following the month in which the Participant reaches age 55 and has
             completed five (5) years of Service.



                                       2

<PAGE>   3

    (C)      "POSTPONED RETIREMENT DATE," which is the first day of the
             month following the Participant's Normal Retirement Date in
             which the Participant terminates employment with the Company.

3.2 No benefits are payable hereunder unless the Participant retires on an Early
Retirement, Normal Retirement or Postponed Retirement Date. Notwithstanding the
prior sentence, in the event a Participant has entered into an employment
agreement with the Company which provides for vesting of his/her Accrued Benefit
hereunder, whether as a result of a termination other than for cause or
otherwise, any benefit paid with such agreement shall be funded and paid through
this Plan.

3.3 If any Participant entitled to a benefit under this Plan is (i) discharged
for cause after attaining his Early, Normal or Postponed Retirement Date, or
(ii) enters into competition with the Company, or interferes with the relations
between the Company and any person, firm or entity with whom the Company does
business, or (iii) by reason of Participant's material, substantial and willful
dishonesty towards, fraud upon, or deliberate injury or attempted injury has
caused material injury to Corporation, the rights of such Participant to a
benefit under this Plan, including the rights of a Surviving Spouse to a
benefit, will be forfeited, unless the Committee determines that such activity
is not detrimental to the best interests of the Company. However, if the
individual ceases such activity and notifies the Committee of this action, then
the Participant's right to receive a benefit, and any right of a Surviving
Spouse to a benefit, may be restored within sixty (60) days of said
notification, unless the Committee at its sole discretion determines that the
prior activity has caused serious injury to the Company, which determination
will be final and conclusive. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, item (ii) above shall not apply in the event of a Termination Upon a
Change in Control.

4.  AMOUNT AND FORM OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT

4.1 The annual retirement benefit payable to a Participant for his life time at
a Normal Retirement Date under the Plan shall be equal to sixty percent (60%) of
Final Average Earnings plus six percent (6%) of Final Average Earnings times
years of Service after age 60 to a maximum of five (5) years, less one hundred
percent (100%) of the Other Retirement Income of Participant.

4.2 The annual benefit payable to a Participant for his lifetime at an Early
Retirement Date shall be equal to the benefit determined in Section 4.1
multiplied by the following factors according to the service of the Participant
on Early Retirement Date and the age of the Participant on the date the benefit
begins:

4.3 The annual benefit payable to a Participant for his lifetime at a Postponed
Retirement Date shall be equal to the benefit determined in accordance with
Section 4.1 based on Service and Final Average Earnings as of the Participant's
Retirement Date.

4.4 The benefit determined under this Plan will be payable in any form approved
by the Committee and elected by the Participant.

5. PAYMENT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

5.1 Benefits payable in accordance with Section 4 will begin on the
Participant's date of Retirement or, in the case of Early Retirement, on the
first day of any month following the Participant's Early Retirement Date but not
later than his Normal Retirement Date, as the Participant may elect. Benefits
will continue to be paid on the first day of each succeeding month. The last
payment will be on the first day of the month in which the retired Participant
dies, unless otherwise elected in accordance with Section 4.4.

5.2 Any Participant who is under Disability upon reaching his Normal Retirement
Date will be paid his retirement benefit under Section 4.1. Upon a Participant's
Disability while an employee of the Company, the Participant will continue to
accrue years of service during his Disability until the earliest of (a) his
recovery from Disability, (b) his 65th birthday or (c) his death. For the

7. MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 The Committee may, at its sole discretion, terminate, suspend, or amend this
Plan at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part. However, no
amendment or suspension of the Plan will affect a Participant's right to receive
an Accrued Benefit, or a retired Participant's or Surviving Spouse's right to
continue to receive a benefit in accordance with this Plan.

7.2 Nothing contained herein will confer upon any Participant the right to be
retained in the service of the Company, nor will it interfere with the Company's
right to discharge or otherwise deal with Participants without regard to the
existence of this Plan.

7.3 This Plan is unfunded, and the Company will make Plan benefit payments
solely on a current disbursement basis. The Company may establish such grantor
trust(s) or other asset pool(s) as it deems necessary or appropriate to provide
for the payment of benefits hereunder.

7.4 To the maximum extent permitted by law, no benefit under this Plan shall be
assignable or subject in any manner to alienation, sale, transfer, claims of
creditors, pledge, attachment, or encumbrances of any kind.

7.5 The Committee may adopt rules and regulations to assist it in administering
the Plan.

7.6 Each Participant shall receive a copy of this Plan, and the Committee will
make available for inspection by any Participant a copy of the rules and
regulations used by the Committee in administering the Plan.

7.7 This Plan is established under and will be construed according to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

8. MINIMUM BENEFIT IN CERTAIN CASES

         The provisions of this Section 8 apply only in the case of a
Participant who has entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company which
provides for accelerated vesting in the event of death, disability, termination
other than for cause or a change in control. The provisions of this Section 8
apply notwithstanding Section 3.2 or any other provision of this Plan. In the
event a Participant's employment with the Company is terminated by reason of
death, disability, termination other than for cause or a change in control, each
as contemplated by the Employment Agreement between such individual and the
Company, then the benefit payable to or with respect to such Participant shall
be the greater of the benefit otherwise determined in accordance with the
provision of the Plan or the single sum benefit equal to the present value of
the then-Accrued Benefit, determined by reducing such adjusted accrued benefit
from age sixty-five (65) to the date as of which payment is made, using the
actuarial assumptions which have been used for financial accounting purposes
under generally accepted accounting principles.

qualify individuals which are eligible to participate and all of whom shall be a
select group of management or highly compensated employees.

3.2 PARTICIPATION.

Participation in the Plan shall be limited to Eligible Employees who elect to
participate in the Plan by filing a Participation Agreement with the Committee.
An Eligible Employee shall commence participation in the Plan upon the first day
of his or her first payroll period following the receipt of his or her
Participation Agreement by the Committee.

3.3 CHANGE IN PARTICIPATION STATUS.

During the election period each December, a Participant may change a previously
elected percentage of deferral of total compensation or elect to terminate his
or her participation in the Plan. Changes will only become effective as of the
beginning of the next Plan Year following receipt of the change in election by
the Committee and in accordance with the Company's prevailing administrative
procedures. Amounts credited to such Participant's Account with respect to
periods prior to the effective date of such termination shall continue to be
payable pursuant to, receive investment credit on, and otherwise be governed by,
the terms of the Plan.

3.4 INELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, if the
Committee determines that any Participant may not qualify as a "select group of
management or highly compensated employee" within the meaning of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or regulations
thereunder, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that such
Participant shall cease to be eligible to participate in this Plan. Upon such
determination, any future Participant's contributions to the Plan will cease,
however, the Participants existing account balance will be maintained in the
same manner as other Plan Participants.

                                   ARTICLE IV

DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION

4.1 AMOUNT OF DEFERRAL.

With respect to each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer a specified
percentage of his or her Compensation up to the percentage of compensation
defined and the terms described in Exhibit B attached hereto.

4.2 CREDITING REFERRED COMPENSATION.

The amount of Compensation that a Participant elects to defer under the Plan
shall be credited by the Employer to the Participant's Deferral Account
periodically, the frequency of which will be determined by the Committee, but
which crediting shall occur no later than 30 days following the date upon which
such Compensation would have otherwise been paid by the Employer to the
Participant. To the extent that the Employer is required to withhold any taxes
or other amounts from a Participant's deferred Compensation pursuant to any
state, federal or local law, such amounts shall be withheld only from the
Participant's compensation before such amounts are credited.

                                    ARTICLE V

BENEFIT ACCOUNTS

5.1 VALUATION OF ACCOUNT.

As of each Valuation Date, a Participant's Account shall consist of the balance
of the Participant's Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date,
plus the Participant's Deferred Compensation credited pursuant to Section 4.2
since the immediately preceding Valuation Date, plus investment return credited
as of such Valuation Date pursuant to Section 5.2, minus the aggregate amount of
distributions, if any, made from such Account since the immediately preceding
Valuation Date.

5.2 CREDITING OF INVESTMENT RETURN.

As of each Valuation Date, each Participant's Deferral Account shall be
increased by the amount of investment return earned since the immediately
preceding Valuation Date. Investment return shall be credited at the Investment
Return Rate as of such Valuation Date based on the average balance of the
Participant's Deferral Account, since the immediately preceding Valuation Date,
but after such Accounts have been adjusted for any contributions or
distributions to be credited or deducted for such period.



                                       9

<PAGE>   10

Investment return for the period prior to the first Valuation Date applicable to
a Deferral Account shall be deemed earned ratably over such period. Until a
Participant or his or her Beneficiary receives his or her entire Account, the
unpaid balance thereof shall earn an investment return as provided in this
Section 5.2.

5.3 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS.

The Committee shall provide to each Participant, within 30 days after the close
of each calendar quarter, a statement setting forth the balance of such
Participant's Account as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter and
showing all adjustments made thereto during such calendar quarter.

5.4 VESTING OF ACCOUNT.

Except as provided in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, a Participant shall be 100% vested
in his or her Deferral Account at all times.

5.5 INVESTMENT VEHICLES.

The Company may select investment vehicles owned as general assets by the
Company or as assets of a trust described in Section.10.1 to establish the
Investment Return Rate. The deemed investment vehicles are set forth in Exhibit
C, which the Company may amend from time to time in its sole discretion.

A Participant may request the Company to make deemed investments of the credit
balance of his Deferral Account in one or more of such investment vehicles. A
Participant may change the deemed investment of his Deferral Account or change
the deemed investment of his existing Deferral Account balance may differ from
the deemed investment of future amounts credited to the Deferral Account. Such
changes shall be made in accordance with procedures as the Committee may
establish from time to time. Such procedures may regulate the frequency of such
changes and the form of notice required to make such election or changes. The
Committee may also establish a deemed investment, which shall apply if the
Participant makes no election.

The effective date of any change shall be the date for which the appropriate
direction to the Company or its designee has been properly received in
accordance with the procedures established by the Committee. The Committee shall
have the right to refuse to honor any Participant direction related to
investments or withdrawals, including transfers among investment options, where
necessary or desirable to assure compliance with applicable law including U.S.
and other securities laws. However, neither the Company nor the Committee
assumes any responsibility for compliance by officers or others with any such
laws, and any failure by the Company or the Committee to delay or dishonor any
such direction shall not be deemed to increase the Company's legal obligations
to the Participant or third parties.

5.6 ESTABLISHMENT OF "RABBI TRUST"

The Company shall establish a rabbi trust, which is intended to be a grantor
trust, of which the Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E,
part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly. The Company shall make
regular deposits into the Trust in order to finance its obligations to
Participants, the frequency of which deposits will be determined by the
Committee, but which shall occur no later than the latest date upon which
deferred compensation may be credited to Participants' Accounts pursuant to
Section 4.2. Such deposits will be invested in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.5 as soon as practicable. The principal of the Trust, and any earnings
thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of



                                       10

<PAGE>   11

Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Participants
and general creditors. Participants and their beneficiaries shall have no
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the
Trust. Any rights created under this Plan document and the Trust agreement shall
be mere unsecured contractual rights of Participants and their beneficiaries
against the Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims
of the Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of
insolvency of the Company.

                                   ARTICLE VI

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

6.1 PAYMENT OF DEFERRAL BENEFIT UPON DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.

Upon the death, Disability, Early Retirement; or Retirement of a Participant,
the Employer shall pay to the Participant or his Beneficiary a Deferral Benefit
equal to the balance of his or her vested Account determined pursuant to Article
V, less any amounts previously distributed, based on his written election
pursuant to Section 6.5.

6.2 PAYMENT OF DEFERRAL BENEFIT UPON TERMINATION.

Upon the termination of service of the Participant as an employee of the
Employer and all Selected Affiliates for reasons other than death, Disability,
or Retirement, the Employer shall pay to the Participant a Deferral Benefit in a
lump sum equal to the balance of his or her vested Account determined pursuant
to Article V, less any amounts previously distributed, as soon as
administratively practical.

6.3 PAYMENTS TO BENEFICIARIES.

In the event of the Participant's death prior to his or her receipt of all
elected annual installments, his or her Beneficiary will receive the remaining
annual installments at such times as such installments would have become
distributable to the Participant.

6.4 HARDSHIP WITHDRAWAL.

In the event that the Committee, under written request of a Participant,
determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant has suffered an
unforeseeable financial emergency, the Employer shall pay to the Participant, as
soon as practicable following such determination, an amount necessary to meet
the emergency (the "Hardship Withdrawal"), but not exceeding the aggregate
balance of such Participant's Deferral Account as of the date of such payment.
For purposes of this Section 6.4, an "unforeseeable financial emergency" shall
mean an event that the Committee determines to give rise to an unexpected need
for cash arising from an illness, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal or
other such unforeseeable occurrence. Amounts of Hardship Withdrawal may not
exceed the amount the Committee reasonably determines to be necessary to meet
such emergency needs (including taxes incurred by reason of a taxable
distribution). The amount of the Deferral Benefit otherwise payable under the
Plan to such Participant shall be adjusted to reflect the early payment of the
Hardship Withdrawal.



                                       11

<PAGE>   12


6.5 FORM OF PAYMENT.

The Deferral Benefit payable pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be paid in one of the
following forms, as elected by the Participant in his or her Participant
Agreement on file as of one (1) year and one (1) day prior to the year of death,
disability or retirement:

          (a)     Annual payments of a fixed amount which shall amortize the
                  vested Account balance of the payment commencement date over a
                  period of five (5) or ten (10) years (together, in the case of
                  each annual payment, with interest thereon credited after the
                  payment commencement date pursuant to Section 5.2).

         (b)      A lump sum as soon as administratively practical.

In the event a Participant fails to make a distribution election, his or her
vested Account Balance shall be distributed as a lump sum distribution as soon
as administratively practical after his or her death, disability or retirement.

6.6 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYMENTS

Commencement of payments under Section 6.1 of the Plan shall begin within ninety
days following an event which entitles a Participant (or a Beneficiary) to
payments in lump sum under the Plan or in the January following the event for
annual payment.

6.7 SMALL BENEFIT.

In the event the Committee determines that the balance of a Participant's
Account is less than $5,000 at the time of commencement of payments, or the
portion of the balance of the Participant's Account payable to any Beneficiary
is less than $5,000 at the time of commencement of payments, the Committee may
inform the Employer, and the Employer, in its discretion, may choose to pay the
benefit in the form of a lump sum payment, notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan or a Participant election to the contrary. Such lump sum payment shall be
equal to the balance of the Participant's Account or the portion thereof payable
to a Beneficiary.

                                   ARTICLE VII

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

7.1 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

Each Participant shall have the sole right, at any time, to designate any person
or persons as his or her Beneficiary to whom payment under the Plan shall be
made in the event of his or her death prior to complete distribution to the
Participant of his or her Account. Any Beneficiary designation shall be made in
a written instrument provided by the Committee. All Beneficiary designations
must be filed with the Committee and shall be effective only when received in
writing by the Committee.



                                       12

<PAGE>   13


7.2 CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.

Any Beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant by the filing of a
new Beneficiary designation, which will cancel all Beneficiary designations
previously filed. The designation of a Beneficiary may be made or changed at any
time without the consent of any person.

7.3 NO DESIGNATION.

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if all
designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the Participant's
designated Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant's estate.

7.4 EFFECT OF PAYMENT.

Payment of the Deferral Benefit to a Participant's Beneficiary (or, upon the
death of a primary Beneficiary, to the contingent Beneficiary or, if none, to
the Participant's estate) shall completely discharge the Employer's obligations
under the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 9.1 AMENDMENT.

 The Company, on behalf of itself and of each Selected Affiliate may at any time
 amend, suspend or reinstate any or all of the provisions of the Plan, except
 that no such amendment, suspension or reinstatement may adversely affect any
 Participant's Account, as it existed as of the day before the effective date of
 such amendment, suspension or reinstatement, without such Participant's prior
 written consent. The Committee or its delegate as the case may be, in its sole
 discretion, may accelerate the date of payment of a Participant's Account.
 Written notice of any amendment or other action with respect to the Plan shall
 be given to each Participant.

 9.2 TERMINATION.

 The Company, on behalf of itself and of each Selected Affiliate, in its sole
 discretion, may terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever.
 Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee shall take those actions necessary
 to administer any Accounts existing prior to the effective date of such
 termination; provided, however, that a termination of the Plan shall not
 adversely affect the value of a Participant's Account, as it existed as of the
 day before the effective date of such termination, or the timing or method of
 distribution of a Participant's Account, without the Participant's prior
 written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination of the Plan shall
 not give rise to accelerated or automatic vesting of any Participant's Account.

 9.3 CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 Upon a change of control, the plan is to be terminated with all benefits to be
 distributed to participants in a lump sum.

                                    ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 FUNDING.

Participants, their Beneficiaries, and their heirs, successors and assigns,
shall have no secured interest or claim in any property or assets of the
Employer. The Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an
unfunded and unsecured promise of the Employer's to pay money in the future.

10.2 NONASSIGNABILITY.

No right or interest under the Plan of a Participant or his or her Beneficiary
(or any person claiming through or under any of them) shall be assignable or
transferable in any manner or be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale,
pledge, encumbrance or other legal process or in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts or liabilities of any such Participant or Beneficiary. If
any Participant or Beneficiary shall attempt to or shall transfer, assign,
alienate, anticipate, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber his or her benefits
hereunder or any part thereof, or if by reason of his or her bankruptcy or other
event happening at any time such benefits would devolve upon anyone else or
would not be enjoyed by him or her, then



                                       14

<PAGE>   15


the Committee, in its discretion, may terminate his or her interest in any such
benefit (including the Deferral Account) to the extent the Committee considers
necessary or advisable to prevent or limit the effects of such occurrence.
Termination shall be effected by filing a written "termination declaration" with
the Healthcare Realty Trust Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan Committee
of the Company and making reasonable efforts to deliver a copy to the
Participant or Beneficiary whose interest is adversely affected (the "terminated
participant").

As long as the terminated participant is alive, any benefits affected by the
termination shall be retained by the Employer and, in the Committee's sole and
absolute judgment, may be paid to or expended for the benefit of the terminated
participant, his or her spouse, his or her children or any other person or
persons in fact dependent upon him or her in such a manner as the Committee
shall deem proper. Upon the death of the terminated participant, all benefits
withheld from him or her and not paid to others in accordance with the preceding
sentence shall be disposed of according to the provisions of the Plan that would
apply if he or she died prior to the time that all benefits to which he or she
was entitled were paid to him or her.

10.3 CAPTIONS.

The caption contained herein is for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction hereof.

10.4 GOVERNING LAW.

successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity
that shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, acquire all
or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company or a Selected
Affiliate and successors of any such Company or other business entity.

10.6 RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon any Eligible Employee
the right to continue to serve as an Eligible Employee of the Employer or in any
other capacity.

10.7 CLAIMS PROCEDURE.

If a benefit under this Plan is not paid to an Executive or Beneficiary and such
person believes that he or she is entitled to receive it, a claim shall be made
in writing to the Committee within sixty (60) days from the date payment was to
be made. Such claim shall be reviewed by the Committee and the Corporation. If
the claim is denied, in full or in part, the Committee shall provide written
notice within ninety (90) days setting forth the specific reasons for denial.
The notice shall include specific reference to the provisions of this Plan upon
which the denial is based and any additional material or information necessary
to perfect the claim, if any. Such written notice shall also indicate the steps
to be taken if a review of the denial is desired.

If the claim is denied and a review is desired, the claimant shall notify the

                    NON QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The Healthcare Realty Trust Non-qualified Deferred Compensation plan (the
"Plan"), as adopted effective January 1, 1999, is hereby amended in the
following respects:

         1.       Effective as of July 1, 1999, Section 2.5 of the Plan is

                       TRUST UNDER HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST
                    NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

This Agreement made this 28th day of January, by and between Healthcare Realty
Trust (Company) and SunTrust Bank, Nashville, N.A. , (Trustee):

WHEREAS, Company has adopted the nonqualified deferred compensation Plan as
listed in Appendix A;

WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the terms of
such Plan with respect to the individuals participating in such Plan;

WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") and to
contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims
of Company's creditors in the event of Company's Insolvency, as herein defined,
until paid to Plan participants and their beneficiaries in such manner and at
such times as specified in the Plan;

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an
unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded
plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select
group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;

WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company to make contributions to the Trust to
provide itself with a source of funds to assist in the meeting of its
liabilities under Plan;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the
Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:

                                    SECTION 1
                           Establishment of the Trust

(a)      Company hereby deposits with Trustee amounts which shall become the
         principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by
         Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b)      The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(c)      The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Company is the
         grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part 1, subchapter J, chapter
         1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
         shall be construed accordingly.
(d)      The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held
         separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used
         exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants and general
         creditors as herein set forth. Plan participants and their
         beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial
         ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created
         under the Plan and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured
         contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against
         Company. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of
         Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of
         Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein. (e) Company, in its sole
         discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional
         deposits of cash or other property in trust with Trustee to augment the
         principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as
         provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither Trustee nor any Plan
         participant or beneficiary shall have any right to compel such
         additional deposits.
(f)      Upon a Change of Control, Company shall, as soon as possible, but in no
         event longer than 45 days following the Change of Control, as defined
         herein, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that
         is sufficient to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary the benefits
         to which Plan participants or their beneficiaries would be entitled
         pursuant to the terms of the Plan as of the date on which the Change of
         Control occurred.




<PAGE>   25

(g)      Within 45 days following the end of the Plan year, ending after the
         Trust has become irrevocable pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, Company
         shall be required to irrevocably deposit additional cash or other
         property to the Trust in an amount sufficient to pay each Plan
         participant or beneficiary the benefits payable pursuant to the terms
         of the Plan as of the close of the Plan year.

                                    SECTION 2
              Payments to Plan Participants and Their Beneficiaries

(a)      Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule")
         that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Plan participant
         (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other
         instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so
         payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for
         or available under the Plan), and the time of commencement for payment
         of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall
         make payments to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in
         accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make
         provisions for the reporting and withholding of any federal taxes that
         may be required to be withhold with respect to the payment of benefits
         pursuant to the terms of the Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the
         appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been
         reported, withheld and paid by Company.
(b)      The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to
         benefits under the Plan shall be determined by Company or such party as
         it shall designate under the Plan, and any claim for such benefits
         shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the
         Plan.
(c)      Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or
         their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan.
         Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of
         benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants
         or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and
         any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits
         in accordance with the terms of the Plan, Company shall make the
         balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify
         Company where principal and earnings are not sufficient.

                                    SECTION 3
           Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary When
           Company Is Insolvent

(a)      Trustee shall cease payment of benefits directly to Plan participants
         and their beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent. Company shall be
         considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i)
         Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) An order
         for relief has been entered with the Company as the debtor in a
         proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(b)      At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in
         Section 1(d) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be
         subject to claims of general creditors of Company under federal and
         state law as set forth below.


         (1)      The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer (or
                  substitute the title of the highest-ranking officer of the
                  Company) of Company shall have the duty to inform Trustee in
                  writing of Company's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a
                  creditor of Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company
                  has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Company
                  is Insolvent and, pending such determination. Trustee shall
                  discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants or their
                  beneficiaries.
         (2)      Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's Insolvency,
                  or has received notice from Company or a person claiming to be
                  a creditor alleging that Company's is Insolvent, Trustee shall
                  have no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent. Trustee
                  may in all events relay on such evidence concerning Company's
                  solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides
                  Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination
                  concerning Company's solvency.
         (3)      If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is
                  Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan
                  participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets




                                       2
<PAGE>   26

                  of the Trust for the benefit of Company's general creditors.
                  Nothing is this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any
                  rights of Plan participants or their beneficiaries to pursue
                  their rights as general creditors of Company with respect to
                  benefits due under the Plan or otherwise.
         (4)      Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan
                  participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section
                  2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined
                  that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).
(c)      Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the
         payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and
         subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
         discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due
         to Plan participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan
         for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any
         payments made to Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Company in
         lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of
         discontinuance.

                                    SECTION 4
                               Payments to Company

Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, after the Trust has become irrevocable,
Company shall have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to Company or
to divert to others any of the Trust assets before all payments of benefits have
been made to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of
the Plan.

                                    SECTION 5
                              Investment Authority

In no event may Trustee invest in securities (including stock or rights to
acquire stock) or obligations issued by Company, other than a de minimis amount
held in common investment vehicles in which Trustee invest. All rights
associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the person
designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest with Plan
participants.

                                    SECTION 6
                              Disposition of Income

During the term of this Trust, all income received by the Trust, net of expenses
and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested.

                                    SECTION 7
                              Accounting by Trustee

Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts,
disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such
specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing Between Company and Trustee.
Within 30 days following the close of each calendar year and within 30 days
after the removal or resignation of Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Company a
written account of its administration of the Trust during such year or during
the period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal
or resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other
transactions effected by it, including a description of all securities and
investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases
or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and
showing all cash, securities, and other property held in the Trust at the end of
such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be.

                                    SECTION 8
                            Responsibility of Trustee

(a)      Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under
         the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like
         capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an
         enterprise of a like character and with like aims, provided, however,
         that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action
         taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Company
         which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan
         or this Trust and is given in writing by Company. In the event of a
         dispute between Company and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of
         competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.
(b)      If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection
         with this Trust, Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's
         costs, expenses, and liabilities (including, without limitation,
         attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily
         liable for such payments. If Company does not pay such costs, expenses
         and liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain
         payment from the Trust.
(c)      Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for
         Company generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations
         hereunder.
(d)      Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, or other professionals
         to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder.
(e)      Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred in Trustees
         by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein,
         provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of
         the Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the
         policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from
         conversion of the policy to a different form) other than to a successor
         Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against
         such policy.
(f)      Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust
         Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have any power that
         could give this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and
         dividing the gains therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2
         of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to

(a)      Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to Company, which
         shall be effective 60 days after receipt of such notice unless Company

         Trustee. The transfer shall be completed within 60 days after receipt
         of notice of resignation, removal or transfer, unless Company extends

1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

         The purpose of the Executive Variable Incentive Compensation Plan (the

providing significant incentive compensation opportunities to key executives.
The Plan is intended to: (l) attract, retain and motivate key executives; (2)
link compensation to performance; (3) shift part of future compensation expense
from fixed to variable; and (4) reinforce the Company's objectives.

opportunities and presumes a market competitive base salary program. Incentive
Awards made under the Plan are in addition to Base Salary and Base Salary
adjustments awarded to maintain market competitiveness. The Plan is designed to
reflect, by variable compensation, the degree to which executives, individually
or collectively, contributed to the realization of the significant short term
objectives of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the "Company").

Index, (5) approve the Target Dividends and (6) establish any rules or
regulations relating to the Plan and to make any other determinations necessary
to administer the Plan. All modifications or amendments to the Plan shall be
approved by the Compensation Committee. All actions, determinations and
decisions made by the Compensation Committee will be reviewed by the Board and,
upon approval by the Board, will be final, conclusive and binding upon all
parties concerned.

         Any action or recommendation by the Compensation Committee will be
based on a majority of those members verbally expressing their vote at a meeting
of the Compensation Committee, or in writing without a meeting. No Participant
may participate in any way in any decisions affecting his personal Incentive
Award. Individuals serving as Compensation Committee members or Board members
will not be liable in any way to any Participant or his designated beneficiaries
as a result of decisions rendered in the proper administration of this Plan.

4.       PARTICIPATION.

         Employees eligible to participate in this Plan are those executives who
have a major impact on the overall operations of the Company. Upon adoption of

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may add Participants to the

Participants who have responsibility changes during the Plan Year or who enter
or exit the Plan shall be modified to adjust for the time spent in each position
of responsibility.

5.       RESPONSIBILITY FACTOR PERCENTAGE.

impact on corporate profitability. Assignments of Responsibility Factor

of this Plan shall be designated by action of the Compensation Committee.

         Additional Participants in the Plan shall be approved by the

are to become a Participant and will be added to the Plan, together with their
respective Responsibility Factor Percentage and Performance Percentages, by
action of the Compensation Committee.

         Following adoption of the Plan, if a Participant changes positions
during the Plan Year such that the Participant's Responsibility Factor
Percentage changes, the calculation of the Incentive Award shall be prorated to
reflect the time served in each position.

6.       PERFORMANCE PERCENTAGE.

         Each Participant shall be assigned Performance Percentages which shall
determine the portion of his Incentive Award which shall be derived from Company
performance and individual performance. The assignments of the Performance
Percentages to the Participants as of the Plan Year of adoption shall be
designated by action of the Compensation Committee.






EXECUTIVE VARIABLE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN -- Page 3

Committee, and shall correspond to a Payout Percentage also determined by the
Compensation Committee.

         The President shall have the responsibility of establishing the
Individual Performance Objectives of individual Participants, other than the
President. The Compensation Committee shall have the responsibility of
establishing the Individual Performance Objectives of the President. All
Individual Performance Objectives will be reviewed for approval by the
Compensation Committee and communicated to the Participants in order to allow
them sufficient time to focus on these objectives. The President shall have the
responsibility of determining the Individual Performance Index for a
Participant, other than the President, for a Plan Year. The Compensation
Committee shall have the responsibility of determining the Individual
Performance Index for the President for a Plan Year.

7.       ADJUSTMENTS.

         In the event that the FFO of the Plan Year in which the Company has
successfully completed an offering of its common stock for cash consideration is
negatively affected, the effect to the FFO shall be considered as a basis for
increasing the Company Performance Index applicable for such Plan Year.

         The Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to increase the
Incentive Awards to Participants with respect to the Plan Year and/or the
succeeding Plan Years in the event that the Company exceeds the maximum amount
as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Company successfully
concludes an extraordinary transaction that, in the opinion of the Compensation
Committee, is of significant value to the Company.

8.       CALCULATION OF INCENTIVE AWARD.

         The Incentive Award for a Participant for a Plan Year shall be (A) the
sum of (i) the Company Performance Index multiplied by the Company portion of
the Participant's Performance Percentage, and (ii) the Individual Performance
Index multiplied by the individual portion of the Participant's Performance
Percentage; multiplied by (B) the product of (i) the Participant's
Responsibility Factor Percentage and (ii) the Participant's Base Salary.

9.       PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE AWARD.

         Incentive Awards shall be payable in cash as soon as practicable after
the end of the Plan Year, following verification of the mathematical accuracy of
the calculation of all Incentive Awards by the Company's external auditor and
approval of the Compensation Committee.

         The Company shall not be liable for payment of interest upon any
Incentive Award.

10.      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

         Participants who terminate employment voluntarily or are terminated for
cause in accordance with the terms of their respective employment agreements
shall forfeit their Incentive Awards for the entire Plan Year of termination.
All other Participants who terminate during a Plan Year shall have their
participation in Incentive Awards for the Plan Year of termination determined by
multiplying (i) the amount of Incentive Award such Participant would have
received had such Participant been employed by the Company for the entire Plan
Year, by (ii) a fraction with a numerator equal to the number of days the
Participant was employed during the Plan Year and a denominator of 365.

11.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         11.1 NO TRANSFERS. No Incentive Awards payable under the Plan shall be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any such attempted action shall be void and
no such Incentive Award shall be in any manner liable for or subject to debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any Participants. If any
Participant shall become bankrupt or shall attempt to anticipate, alienate,
sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge any Incentive Award payable
under the Plan, then the Compensation Committee in its discretion may hold or
apply such benefit or any part thereof to or for the benefit of such Participant
or his beneficiary, spouse, children, blood relatives, or other dependents, or
any of them, in such manner and in such proportions as the Compensation
Committee may in its sole discretion consider proper.

         11.2 EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS. The Plan is not a contract of employment.
Accordingly, neither the establishment of the Plan nor the awarding of any
Incentive Awards under the Plan shall interfere with or limit, in any way, the
rights of a Participant and the Company pursuant to written contracts of
employment or the rights of the Company to terminate any Participant's
employment, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ
of the Company, except as set forth in written contracts of employment between
the Company and the Participant.

         11.3 AMENDMENTS. The Compensation Committee may from time to time amend
or modify the Plan, provided that no such action shall adversely affect
Incentive Awards previously established in accordance with the Plan.

         11.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. Payments under the Plan shall be subject to
applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements.

         11.5 FUNDING. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be
required to segregate any assets to pay Incentive Awards. The liability of the
Company to pay any Participant with respect to Incentive Awards shall be based
solely upon the written provisions of the Plan; no such obligation shall be
deemed to be secured by any pledge or encumbrance on any property of the
Company.

Performance %) = Award % (expressed as a decimal fraction)

STEP 2            RESPONSIBILITY FACTOR
- ------            ---------------------

         3.1 General Conditions. On each Grant Date, each employee who is an
Eligible Employee on such date shall, without further action of the Committee,
be granted an Option to purchase whole shares of Stock, provided that no
Eligible Employee may be granted an Option which permits his rights to purchase
Stock under the Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans (described in
section 423(b) of the Code) of the Company and its Affiliates to accrue at a
rate that exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such Stock (determined on the

outstanding at any time. Each Option grant is subject to the following terms and
conditions:

<PAGE>   5


             (a)  The exercise price of each Option shall be 85% of Fair Market
                  Value of each share of Stock that is subject to the Option,
                  based on the Stock's Fair Market Value that is determined on
                  the Grant Date or, if less, on the date the Option is
                  exercised.

             (b)  Each Option, or portion thereof, that has not been exercised
                  shall expire 27 months after the Grant Date on which the
                  Option was granted, unless it expires sooner pursuant to
                  Section 3.1(c).

             (c)  Each Option that has not yet expired pursuant to Section
                  3.1(b) shall expire on the date that the Eligible Employee
                  terminates employment with the Company and all of its
                  Affiliates or revokes his election pursuant to Section 3.4;
                  provided, however, if termination is due to the death or
                  disability (as determined in the discretion of the Committee
                  by reference to any disability benefit plan of the Company) of
                  the Eligible Employee, the Participant (or his personal
                  representative) may elect to revoke his election pursuant to
                  Section 3.4.

             (d)  A right to purchase Stock which has accrued under one Option
                  granted hereunder may not be carried over to any other Option.

         3.2 Right to Exercise. An Option shall be exercisable at any time prior
to its expiration in a manner described in Section 3.3. An Eligible Employee
must exercise an Option while he is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate
or within the periods that are specified herein after termination of employment.

         3.3 Method of Exercise. An Eligible Employee may exercise an Option
only on an Exercise Date by providing written notice of intent to exercise prior
to or coincident with the applicable Exercise Date and by payment of the
exercise price in cash or such other form that is acceptable to the Committee.
An Eligible Employee may also elect to exercise an Option through a Payroll
Account election described in Section 3.4.

         3.4 Payment of Exercise Price from Payroll Account. An Eligible
Employee who desires to pay the exercise price of an Option from his Payroll
Account as described in Section 3.3 must timely execute an Agreement in the form
and manner prescribed by the Committee prior to the applicable Exercise Date.
The Agreement shall provide for authorization of deductions from the Eligible
Employee's regular payroll that is credited to a Payroll Account. Amounts
credited to a Participant's Payroll Account shall be accumulated and reserved
for payment of the exercise price of Options granted hereunder.

             (a)  The funds held in the Payroll Account shall first be applied
                  to exercise options with the lowest exercise price. In the
                  event that all Options have the same exercise price on an
                  Exercise Date, the funds held in the Payroll Account shall be
                  first applied to exercise Options in the order they were
                  granted

             (b)  A Participant may initiate, modify or revoke his election to
                  contribute to his Payroll Account at any time by timely
                  providing the Committee written notice in the form prescribed
                  by the Committee. An election to begin or modify contributions
                  shall be effective on the February 8th or August 8th that
                  coincides with or next follows such written notice with the
                  exception of a Participant's initial election in the year the
                  Plan is adopted, which may be submitted and effective as late
                  as March 8, 2000. An election to revoke contributions shall be
                  effective on the first payroll date following written notice
                  thereof.

             (c)  Each Participant's election specified under an Agreement shall
                  remain in effect until modified or revoked by the Participant
                  in accordance with Section 3.4(b).

             (d)  The Options granted hereunder for the calendar years 2000 and
                  2001 are conditioned on the Eligible Employee revoking the
                  Option granted to him on January 1, 2000, under the Healthcare
                  Realty Trust Incorporated 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
                  Such revocation may be evidenced by written notice to the
                  Company or by the exercise of an Option hereunder in a manner
                  specified in Section 3.3

         3.5 Issuance of Stock. The Company shall issue whole shares of Stock to
a Participant after each Exercise Date. For Options that are not exercised
through a Payroll Account election, the number of shares to be issued shall be
determined by the instructions contained in the written notice of exercise
described in Section 3.2. For shares acquired through a Payroll Account
election, shares shall be issued as follows:

             (a)  The Company shall determine the number of whole shares of
                  Stock to be issued to each Participant with respect to an
                  Exercise Date by dividing the balance of such Participant's
                  Payroll Account by the applicable exercise price of the
                  Option.

             (b)  The Company shall deduct from a Participant's Payroll Account
                  the amount necessary to purchase the greatest number of whole
                  shares of Stock that can be acquired under the applicable
                  Option.

             (c)  Any amounts remaining in the Payroll Account after deducting
                  the exercise price for whole shares of Stock shall generally
                  be held for use on a subsequent Exercise Date. However, a
                  Participant who has made contributions to a Payroll Account
                  and has revoked his election to exercise an Option under the
                  terms of Section 3.3 may obtain payment of the amounts held in
                  his Payroll Account from the Company by requesting such
                  payment in writing to the Committee in the time and manner
                  specified by the Committee. A Participant who has terminated

                  employment shall be paid any amounts remaining in his Payroll
                  Account after the expiration of all Options hereunder.

         3.6 Nontransferability. Any Option granted under this Plan shall not be
transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Only the
Participant to whom an Option is granted may exercise such Option, unless he is
deceased. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option shall be liable
for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant.

         3.7 Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a
shareholder with respect to shares subject to his Option prior to the time that
such Option is exercised.

         3.8 Issuance and Delivery of Shares. Shares of Stock issued pursuant to
the exercise of Options hereunder shall be delivered to Participants by the
Company (or its transfer agent) as soon as administratively feasible after a
Participant exercises an Option hereunder, executes any applicable shareholder
agreement that the Company requires at the time of exercise and requests
delivery of the shares.

                                   ARTICLE IV.
                              STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

         4.1 Source of Shares. Upon the exercise of an Option, the Company may
deliver to the Participant authorized but unissued shares of Stock.

         4.2 Maximum Number of Shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of
Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options is 1,000,000
subject to increases and adjustments as provided in Article 6.

         4.3 Forfeitures. If an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, the
number of shares of Stock allocated to such Option or portion thereof may be
reallocated to other Options to be granted under this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE V.
                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         5.1 General Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.
The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Committee shall not
be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee. No member of
the Committee shall be liable for any act done in good faith with respect to
this Plan or any Agreement or Option. The Company shall bear all expenses of
Plan administration. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any
terms or provisions of this Plan or of any rule or regulation promulgated in
connection herewith, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons. In addition
to all other authority vested with the Committee under the Plan, the Committee
shall have complete authority to:

             (a)  Interpret all provisions of this Plan;

             (b)  Prescribe the form of any Agreement and notice and manner for
                  executing or giving the same;

             (c)  Adopt, amend, and rescind rules for Plan administration; and

             (d)  Make all determinations it deems advisable for the
                  administration of this Plan.

         5.2 Persons Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the
Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan
to Participants who are members of the Committee subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with
respect to other Participants.

         5.3 Designation of Affiliates. The Company may from time to time
designate a "parent corporation," as defined in section 424(e) of the Code, or
"subsidiary corporation," as defined in section 424(f) of the Code, to be a
participating corporation in a manner that is consistent with Treasury
Regulation ss. 1.423-2(c)(4). Corporations that are so designated shall be
Affiliates for purposes of this Plan. Such designation shall be evidenced by the
express inclusion of the corporation as an Affiliate within Section 2.1, the
intentional act of the Company or the Committee to communicate in writing the
grant of Options hereunder to employees of a corporation, or such other written
document that is intended to evidence such designation. The Company or Committee
may rescind the designation of a corporation as an Affiliate by adopting a
writing that is intended to evidence such rescission.

                                   ARTICLE VI.
                        ADJUSTMENT UPON CORPORATE CHANGES

         6.1 Adjustments to Shares. The maximum number and kind of shares of
stock with respect to which Options hereunder may be granted and which are the
subject of outstanding Options shall be adjusted by way of increase or decrease
as the Committee determines (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate, in the
event that:

             (a) the Company or an Affiliate effects one or more stock
                 dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, subdivisions,
                 consolidations or other similar events;

             (b) the Company or an Affiliate engages in a transaction to which
                 section 424 of the Code applies; or

             (c) there occurs any other event which in the judgment of the
                 Committee necessitates such action.

Provided, however, that if an event described in paragraph (a) or (b) occurs,
the Committee shall make adjustments to the limits on Options and on the award
of Options specified hereunder that are proportionate to the modifications of
the Stock that are on account of such corporate changes.

         6.2 Substitution of Options on Merger or Acquisition. The Committee may
grant Options in substitution for stock awards, stock options, stock
appreciation rights or similar awards held by an individual who becomes an
employee of the Company or an Affiliate in connection with a transaction to
which section 424(a) of the Code applies. The terms of such substituted Options
shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject only to the
limitations of Article 4.

         6.3 No Preemptive Rights. The issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
for cash or property, or for labor or services rendered, either upon direct sale
or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares
or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, outstanding Options.

         6.4 Fractional Shares. Only whole shares of Stock may be acquired
through the exercise of an Option. The Company will return to each Participant's
Payroll Account any amount tendered in the exercise of an Option remaining after
the maximum number of whole shares has been purchased.

         7.1 General. No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock shall be issued,
no certificates for shares of Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be
made under this Plan except in compliance with all federal and state laws and
regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements),
federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules of all national
securities exchanges or self-regulatory organizations on which the Company's
shares may be listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of
its counsel as to such compliance. No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock
shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered and no payment

approval as the Committee may deem advisable from any regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over such matters.

         7.2 Stock Holding Periods. In order for tax treatment under section
421(a) of the Code to apply to Stock acquired hereunder, the Participant is
generally required to hold such shares of Stock for two years after the Grant
Date of an Option through which shares of Stock were acquired and for one year

an Option, the Company may require a Participant to represent and warrant at the

At the option of the Company, a stop transfer order against any shares of stock
may be placed on the official stock books and records of the Company, and a
legend indicating that the stock may not be pledged, sold or otherwise
transferred unless an opinion of counsel was provided (concurred in by counsel
for the Company) and stating that such transfer is not in violation of any
applicable law or regulation may be stamped on the stock certificate in order to
assure exemption from registration. The Committee may also require such other
action or agreement by the Participants as may from time to time be necessary to
comply with the federal and state securities laws. This provision shall not
obligate the Company or any Affiliate to undertake registration of options or
stock hereunder.

         8.1 Effect on Employment. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its
operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part
thereof) shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of

sections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The

than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, or the rules thereunder. Provided further that the

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer has executed this Plan on
this the 7th day of February, 2000.

                             HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST
                                  INCORPORATED


                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of January 1, 2000 ("Effective Date") by and between HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST
INCORPORATED, a Maryland corporation ("Corporation"), and David R.
Emery ("Officer").

                                     RECITAL

         Corporation desires to employ Officer as its President and Chief
Executive Officer and Officer is willing to accept such employment by
Corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.


                                    AGREEMENT

         THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

         1. DUTIES. During the term of this Agreement, Officer agrees to be
employed by and to serve Corporation as its President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Corporation agrees to employ and retain Officer in such capacities.
Officer shall devote such of his business time, energy, and skill to the affairs
of Corporation as shall be necessary to perform the duties of such positions.
Officer shall report only to Corporation's Board of Directors and at all times
during the term of this Agreement shall have powers and duties at least
commensurate with his position as President and Chief Executive Officer.
Officer's principal place of business with respect to his services to
Corporation shall be within 35 miles of Nashville, Tennessee.

         2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.

            2.1 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

                (a) "TERMINATION FOR CAUSE" shall mean termination by
Corporation of Officer's employment by Corporation by reason of Officer's
material, substantial and willful dishonesty towards, fraud upon, or deliberate
injury or attempted injury to, Corporation or by reason of Officer's material,
substantial and willful breach of this Agreement which has resulted in material
injury to Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of
Officer's employment with the Corporation shall be deemed a Termination Other
Than For Cause rather than a Termination For Cause unless and until established
by Corporation to the contrary by a final, nonappealable decision by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Corporation shall have the burden of establishing
that any termination of Officer's employment by Corporation is a Termination For
Cause.

                (b) "TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE" shall mean any
termination by Corporation of Officer's employment by Corporation (other than in
a Termination for Cause) and shall include Constructive Termination of Officer's
employment, effective upon notice from Officer to Corporation of such
Constructive Termination. A failure or refusal of Corporation to extend the term
of employment of Officer in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, other than as a
result of circumstances which would warrant a Termination of Cause hereunder,
shall be deemed a Termination Other Than For Cause.

                (c) "VOLUNTARY TERMINATION" shall mean termination by Officer of
Officer's employment by Corporation other than (i) Constructive Termination as
described in subsection 2.1(g), (ii) "Termination Upon a Change in Control,"
(iii) termination by reason of Officer's death or disability as described in




<PAGE>   2

Sections 2.5 and 2.6 and (iv) termination by reason of retirement by Officer
upon attainment of eligibility to retire in accordance with the Executive
Retirement Plan as in effect upon the date of this Agreement.

                (d) "TERMINATION UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean a
termination by Officer of Officer's employment with Corporation within 24 months
following a "Change in Control."

                (e) "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean (i) the time that Corporation
first determines that any person and all other persons who constitute a group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act")) have acquired direct or indirect beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 20 percent or more of
Corporation's outstanding securities, unless a majority of the "Continuing
Directors" approves the acquisition not later than ten business days after
Corporation makes that determination, or (ii) the first day on which a majority
of the members of Corporation's Board of Directors are not "Continuing
Directors."

                (f) "CONTINUING DIRECTORS" shall mean, as of any date of
determination, any member of the Board of Directors of Corporation who (i) was a
member of that Board of Directors on January l, 1993, (ii) has been a member of
that Board of Directors for the two years immediately preceding such date of
determination, or (iii) was nominated for election or elected to the Board of
Directors with the affirmative vote of the greater of (x) a majority of
Continuing Directors who were members of the Board at the time of such
nomination or election or (y) at least four Continuing Directors.

                (g) "CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION" shall mean (i) any material
breach of this Agreement by Corporation; (ii) any actual or implied threat of
discharge of Officer by Corporation under circumstances which would not
constitute a Termination for Cause and which results in an involuntary
resignation of employment by Officer; (iii) any substantial reduction in the
authority or responsibility of Officer or other substantial reduction in the
terms and conditions of Officer's employment under circumstances which would not
justify a Termination for Cause and which are not the result of a material
breach by Officer of this Agreement; (iv) any act(s) by Corporation which are
designed or have the effect of rendering Officer's working conditions so
intolerable or demeaning on a recurring basis that a reasonable person would
resign such employment, (v) a material adverse alteration in Officer's reporting
relationships, position, responsibilities, title or status; (vi) a reduction in
Officer's compensation or a substantial reduction in benefits provided to
Officer that are provided for or referenced hereunder; (vii) relocation of
Officer to a location that is more than 35 miles from the location of the
Corporation's headquarters on the date this Agreement is executed.

                (h) "DEFERRED COMPENSATION" or "deferred compensation" shall
mean any individual or group plan, program, agreement or other arrangement,
whether or not a "plan" for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and whether or not a retirement plan or supplemental
executive retirement plan or additional retirement plan as contemplated by

subsequent year.

            2.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Termination For Cause may be effected by
Corporation at any time during the term of this Agreement and shall be effected
by written notification to Officer. Upon Termination For Cause, Officer

with the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in
which Officer is a participant to the full extent of Officer's rights under such
plans, accrued vacation pay and any appropriate business expenses incurred by
Officer in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination,
but Officer shall not be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any
kind, including without limitation, severance compensation.

            2.4 TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE. Notwithstanding anything else
in this Agreement, Corporation may effect a Termination Other Than For Cause at

Agreement, Officer, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of
Corporation, has failed to perform his duties under this Agreement on account of
illness or physical or mental incapacity, and such illness or incapacity
continues for a period of more than 12 consecutive months, Corporation shall
have the right to terminate Officer's employment hereunder by written
notification to Officer and payment to Officer of all accrued salary, bonus
compensation to the extent earned, deferred compensation, whether or not vested
without regard to such illness or incapacity (other than pension plan or profit
sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable
plan), any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in which Officer is a

thereof), accrued vacation pay and any appropriate business expenses incurred by
Officer in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination,
with the exception of medical and dental benefits which shall continue through

severance compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Officer who incurs a
Disability within the contemplation of the Executive Retirement Plan shall
accrue such additional post-disability, post-termination benefits as may be
determined in accordance with such Plan.

            2.6 DEATH. In the event of Officer's death during the term of this
Agreement, Officer's employment shall be deemed to have terminated as of the

Corporation shall take appropriate action to amend or modify its compensation
arrangements in order to cause:

                (a) any deferred compensation under the Corporation's 1993
Employees Stock Incentive Plan shall be effected by an immediate full vesting of
any awards granted to Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employee Stock
Incentive Plan, and any implementation thereof; and an immediate release and
full vesting of awards that have been reserved by the Corporation for Officer
under the Corporation's 1993 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, and any

a reasonable time after the relevant event;

                (b) any deferred compensation payable under a nonqualified
defined contribution plan shall be made available for payment within an
administratively practicable time after the relevant event, in an amount equal
to the then-current book account balance; and

                (c) any deferred compensation payable under a nonqualified
defined benefit plan shall be made available for payment within an
administratively practicable time after the relevant event in an amount equal to
the greater of (i) the benefit, if any, otherwise determined in accordance with
the relevant plan, or (ii) the present value of the then-accrued benefit,
determined by reducing the accrued benefit from age 65 to the date as of which
payment is made, using the actuarial assumptions which have been used for
financial accounting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

calendar months beginning January 1, 1999 at the rate of $425,000 per annum
payable in 24 equal semi-monthly installments. The Base Salary for each year (or
portion thereof) beginning January 1, 2000 shall be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee")
which shall authorize an increase in Officer's Base Salary in an amount which,
at a minimum, shall be equal to the cumulative cost-of-living increment on the
Base Salary as reported in the "Consumer Price Index, Nashville, Tennessee, All
Items," published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Officer's Base Salary shall
be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee.




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

            3.2 BONUSES. Officer shall be eligible to receive a bonus for each
year (or portion thereof) during the term of this Agreement and any extensions
thereof, with the actual amount of any such bonus to be determined by the
Compensation Committee in accordance with the Corporation's Executive Variable
Incentive Plan. All such bonuses shall be payable within 45 days after the end
of the year to which such bonus relates. All such bonuses shall be reviewed
annually by the Compensation Committee.

            3.3 ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, Officer
shall be entitled to the following fringe benefits:

                (a) OFFICER BENEFITS. Officer shall be eligible to participate
in such of Corporation's benefits and deferred compensation plans as are now
generally available or later made generally available to executive officers of
the Corporation, including, without limitation, Corporation's 1993 Employees
Stock Incentive Plan, and any implementation thereof, profit sharing plans,
annual physical examinations, dental and medical plans, personal catastrophe and
disability insurance, financial planning, retirement plans and supplementary
executive retirement plans, if any. For purposes of establishing the length of
service under any benefit plans or programs of Corporation, Officer's employment
with the Corporation will be deemed to have commenced on January 1, 1993.

                (b) VACATION. Officer shall be entitled to six weeks of vacation
during each year during the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof,
prorated for partial years.

                (c) LIFE INSURANCE. For the term of this Agreement and any
extensions thereof, Corporation shall at its expense procure and keep in effect
term life insurance on the life of Officer, payable to such beneficiaries as
Officer may from time to time designate, in the aggregate amount of
$2,000,000.00. Such policy shall be owned by Officer or by a member of his
immediate family.

                (d) REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES. During the term of this
Agreement, Corporation shall reimburse Officer for reasonable and properly
documented out-of-pocket business and/or entertainment expenses incurred by
Officer in connection with his duties under this Agreement.

         4. SEVERANCE COMPENSATION.

            4.1 SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION UPON A
CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event Officer's employment is terminated in a
Termination Upon a Change in Control, Officer shall be paid as severance
compensation his Base Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such
termination), through the remaining term of this Agreement and any extensions
thereof, on the dates specified in Section 3.1; provided, however, that if
Officer is employed by a new employer during such period, the severance
compensation payable to Officer during such period will be reduced by the amount
of compensation that Officer is receiving from the new employer. However,
Officer is under no obligation to mitigate the amount owed Officer pursuant to
this Section 4.1 by seeking other employment or otherwise. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, Officer may in Officer's sole
discretion, by delivery of a notice to Corporation within 30 days following a
Termination Upon a Change in Control, elect to receive from Corporation a lump
sum severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to the present value of the
flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to Officer pursuant to this
Section 4.1. However, in no event shall payment pursuant to this Section 4.1 be
less than three times Base Salary as defined herein for the applicable period.
Such present value shall be determined as of the date of delivery of the notice
of election by Officer and shall be based on a discount rate equal to the
interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as reported in the Wall Street
Journal (or similar publication), on the date of delivery of the election
notice. If Officer elects to receive a lump sum severance payment, Corporation
shall make such payment to Officer within 10 days following the date on which
Officer notifies Corporation of Officer's election. In addition to the severance
payment payable under this Section 4.1, Officer shall be paid an amount equal
to: (i) three times the average annual bonus earned by Officer in the two years
immediately preceding the date of termination, and (ii) the average annual
incentive amount actually earned by Officer during the two years prior to the
severance. Officer shall also receive (i) full vesting of any awards granted to
Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof; and (ii) an immediate release of awards that have been
reserved by



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

the Corporation for Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock
Incentive Plan, and any implementation thereof, or otherwise, and full vesting
of such awards. Officer shall continue to accrue retirement benefits and shall
continue to enjoy any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in which
Officer is a participant to the full extent of Officer's rights under such
plans, including any perquisites provided under this Agreement, through the
remaining term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the benefits under any
such plans of the Corporation in which Officer is a participant, including any
such perquisites, shall cease upon re-employment by a new employer.

            4.2 SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION OTHER THAN
FOR CAUSE. In the event Officer's employment is terminated in a Termination
Other Than for Cause, Officer shall be paid as severance compensation his Base
Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such termination), for a period of
three years from the date of such termination, on the dates specified in Section
3.1; provided, however, that if Officer is employed by a new employer during
such period, the severance compensation payable to Officer during such period
will be reduced by the amount of compensation that Officer is receiving from the
new employer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary,
Officer may in Officer's sole discretion, by delivery of a notice to Corporation
within 30 days following a Termination Other Than for Cause, elect to receive
from Corporation a lump sum severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to
the present value of the flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to
Officer pursuant to this Section 4.2. However, in no event shall payment
pursuant to this Section 4.2 be less than three times Base Salary as defined
herein for the applicable period. Such present value shall be determined as of
the date of delivery of the notice of election by Officer and shall be based on
a discount rate equal to the interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as
reported in the Wall Street Journal (or similar publication), on the date of
delivery of the election notice. If Officer elects to receive a lump sum
severance payment, Corporation shall make such payment to Officer within ten
days following the date on which Officer notifies Corporation of Officer's
election. In addition to the severance payment payable under this Section 4.2,
Officer shall be paid an amount equal to two times the average annual bonus
earned by Officer in the two years immediately preceding the date of termination
and Officer shall also receive (i) full vesting of any awards granted to Officer
under Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any implementation
thereof; and (ii) an immediate release of awards that have been reserved for
Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof, or otherwise, and full vesting of such awards. Officer
shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of any Accrued Benefit under each
Deferred Compensation plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, continued benefit
accrual shall not apply in the case of any tax-qualified retirement plan if such
accrual would adversely affect the tax-qualified status of such plan; provided,
however, that the benefit which would otherwise have been contributed by the
Corporation to the account of the Officer in any tax-qualified defined
contribution and the single sum value of the benefit plan shall be paid by the
Corporation to the Officer as each such contribution or benefit would have been
made or accrued, as applicable, assuming that the Officer had remained employed
on a full-time basis with a rate of pay equal to his Base Salary. In the case of
a Termination Other Than for Cause by reason of the disability of the
Participant, and if the Participant is retired for Disability under the
Executive Retirement Plan, then the Officer will continue to accrue benefits as
provided in the Executive Retirement Plan at the time he incurs his Disability,
notwithstanding any subsequent nonsubstantial employment.

            4.3 NO SEVERANCE COMPENSATION UPON OTHER TERMINATION. In the event
of a Voluntary Termination, Termination For Cause, termination by reason of
Officer's disability pursuant to Section 2.5, or termination by reason of
Officer's death pursuant to Section 2.6, Officer or his estate shall not be paid
any severance compensation and shall receive only the benefits as provided in
the appropriate section of Article II applicable to the respective termination.

            4.4 ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS DUE TO CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                (a) Gross Up Payment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or
distribution by or on behalf of the Corporation to or for the benefit of
Employee as a result of a "change in control," as defined in Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), involving the
Corporation or its affiliates (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section
4.4 (a "Payment")) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Officer with respect to
such excise tax (such excise tax, together



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Excise Tax"), then Officer shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Officer
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment, Officer retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments.

                (b) Tax Opinion. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(c),
all determinations required to be made under this Section 4.4, including whether
and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment
and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be
made by a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm selected by the
Corporation (the "Tax Firm"); provided, however, that the Tax Firm shall not
determine that no Excise Tax is payable by Officer unless it delivers to Officer
a written opinion (the "Tax Opinion") that failure to pay the Excise Tax and to
report the Excise Tax and the payments potentially subject thereto on or with
Officer's applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition
of an accuracy-related or other penalty on Officer. All fees and expenses of the
Tax Firm shall be borne solely by the Corporation. Within 15 business days of
the receipt of notice from Officer that there has been a Payment, or such
earlier time as is requested by the Corporation, the Tax Firm shall make all
determinations required under this Section 4.4, shall provide to the Corporation
and Officer a written report setting forth such determinations, together with
detailed supporting calculations, and, if the Tax Firm determines that no Excise
Tax is payable, shall deliver the Tax Opinion to Officer. Any Gross-Up Payment,
as determined pursuant to this Section 4.4, shall be paid by the Corporation to
Officer within fifteen days of the receipt of the Tax Firm's determination.
Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.4, any determination by the Tax Firm
shall be binding upon the Corporation and Officer; provided, however, that
Officer shall only be bound to the extent that the determinations of the Tax
Firm hereunder, including the determinations made in the Tax Opinion, are
reasonable and reasonably supported by applicable law. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
initial determination by the Tax Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up
Payments which will not have been made by the Corporation should have been made
("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder. In the event that it is ultimately determined in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 4.4(c) that Officer is required to make a
payment of any Excise Tax, the Tax Firm shall reasonably determine the amount of
the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly
paid by the Corporation to or for the benefit of Officer. In determining the
reasonableness of Tax Firm's determinations hereunder, and the effect thereof,
Officer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such determinations
with Tax Firm and Officer's tax counsel. Tax Firm's determinations hereunder,
and the Tax Opinion, shall not be deemed reasonable until Officer's reasonable
objections and comments thereto have been satisfactorily accommodated by Tax
Firm.

                (c) Notice of IRS Claim. Officer shall notify the Corporation in
writing of any claims by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
require the payment by the Corporation of the Gross-Up Payment. Such
notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 30 calendar
days after Officer actually receives notice in writing of such claim and shall
apprise the Corporation of the nature of such claim and the date on which such
claim is requested to be paid; provided, however, that the failure of Officer to
notify the Corporation of such claim (or to provide any required information
with respect thereto) shall not affect any rights granted to Officer under this
Section 4.4 except to the extent that the Corporation is materially prejudiced
in the defense of such claim as a direct result of such failure. Officer shall
not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the
date on which he gives such notice to the Corporation (or such shorter period
ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).
If the Corporation notifies Officer in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, Officer shall do all of the
following:

         I.       give the Corporation any information reasonably requested by
                  the Corporation relating to such claim;

         II.      take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
                  the Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time
                  to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
                  representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
                  selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to
                  Officer;

         III.     cooperate with the Corporation in good faith in order
                  effectively to contest such claim;



                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         IV.      if the Corporation elects not to assume and control the
                  defense of such claim, permit the Corporation to participate
                  in any proceedings relating to such claim;


provided, however, that the Corporation shall bear and pay directly all costs
and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on
an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4, the Corporation shall have the right, at its sole option, to assume
the defense of and control all proceedings in connection with such contest, in
which case it may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim and may either direct Officer to pay the tax claimed and sue for a
refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Officer agrees to
prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if the Corporation directs
Officer to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Corporation shall advance
the amount of such payment to Officer, on an interest-free basis and shall
indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax
or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed
with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Officer with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. Furthermore, the Corporation's right to assume the
defense of and control the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to
which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Officer shall be
entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

                (d) Right to Tax Refund. If, after the receipt by Officer of an
amount advanced by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4.4, Officer becomes
entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Officer shall
(subject to the Corporation's complying with the requirements of Section 4.4(c))
promptly pay to the Corporation the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the
receipt by Officer of an amount advanced by the Corporation pursuant to Section
4.4(c), a determination is made that Officer is not entitled to a refund with
respect to such claim and the Corporation does not notify Officer in writing of
its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days
after such determination, then such advance shall, to the extent of such denial,
be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of forgiven
advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment
required to be paid.

         5. NON-COMPETITION; DISCLOSURE OF INVESTMENTS. During the term of this
Agreement, including the period, if any, during which Officer shall be entitled
to severance compensation pursuant to Section 4.2, Officer shall not engage in
any activity competitive with the Corporation. Simultaneously with Officer's
execution of this Agreement and upon each anniversary of the Effective Date,
Officer shall notify the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the nature
and extent of Officer's investments, stock holdings, employment as an employee,
director, or any similar interest in any business or enterprise other than
Corporation; provided, however, that Officer shall have no obligation to
disclose any investment under $100,000 in value or any holdings of publicly
traded securities which are not in excess of one percent of the outstanding
class of such securities. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
the restrictions and covenants of this Section 5 shall not apply in the event of
a Termination Upon a Change in Control.

         6. MISCELLANEOUS.

            6.1 Payment Obligations. Corporation's obligation to pay Officer the
compensation and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be
unconditional, and Officer shall have no obligation whatsoever to mitigate
damages hereunder. If litigation after a Change in Control shall be brought to
enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, Corporation, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws, hereby indemnifies Officer for Officer's reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred in such litigation.

such information is within the public domain or comes within the public domain

                             HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST
                                  INCORPORATED


                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of January 1, 2000 ("Effective Date") by and between HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST
INCORPORATED, a Maryland corporation ("Corporation"), and Roger O.
West ("Officer").

                                     RECITAL

         Corporation desires to employ Officer as its Executive Vice President
and General Counsel and Officer is willing to accept such employment by
Corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.


                                    AGREEMENT

         THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

         1. DUTIES. During the term of this Agreement, Officer agrees to be
employed by and to serve Corporation as its Executive Vice President and General
Counsel, and Corporation agrees to employ and retain Officer in such capacities.
Officer shall devote such of his business time, energy, and skill to the affairs
of Corporation as shall be necessary to perform the duties of such positions.
Officer shall report only to Corporation's Board of Directors and/or President
and at all times during the term of this Agreement shall have powers and duties
at least commensurate with his position as Executive Vice President and General
Counsel. Officer's principal place of business with respect to his services to
Corporation shall be within 35 miles of Nashville, Tennessee.

         2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.

            2.1 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

                (a) "TERMINATION FOR CAUSE" shall mean termination by
Corporation of Officer's employment by Corporation by reason of Officer's
material, substantial and willful dishonesty towards, fraud upon, or deliberate
injury or attempted injury to, Corporation or by reason of Officer's material,
substantial and willful breach of this Agreement which has resulted in material
injury to Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of
Officer's employment with the Corporation shall be deemed a Termination Other
Than For Cause rather than a Termination For Cause unless and until established
by Corporation to the contrary by a final, nonappealable decision by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Corporation shall have the burden of establishing
that any termination of Officer's employment by Corporation is a Termination For
Cause.

                (b) "TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE" shall mean any
termination by Corporation of Officer's employment by Corporation (other than in
a Termination for Cause) and shall include Constructive Termination of Officer's
employment, effective upon notice from Officer to Corporation of such
Constructive Termination. A failure or refusal of Corporation to extend the term
of employment of Officer in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, other than as a
result of circumstances which would warrant a Termination of Cause hereunder,
shall be deemed a Termination Other Than For Cause.

                (c) "VOLUNTARY TERMINATION" shall mean termination by Officer of
Officer's employment by Corporation other than (i) Constructive Termination as
described in subsection 2.1(g), (ii)



<PAGE>   2

"Termination Upon a Change in Control," (iii) termination by reason of Officer's
death or disability as described in Sections 2.5 and 2.6 and (iv) termination by
reason of retirement by Officer upon attainment of eligibility to retire in
accordance with the Executive Retirement Plan as in effect upon the date of this
Agreement.

                (d) "TERMINATION UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean a
termination by Officer of Officer's employment with Corporation within 24 months
following a "Change in Control."

                (e) "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean (i) the time that Corporation
first determines that any person and all other persons who constitute a group
(within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act")) have acquired direct or indirect beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 20 percent or more of
Corporation's outstanding securities, unless a majority of the "Continuing
Directors" approves the acquisition not later than ten business days after
Corporation makes that determination, or (ii) the first day on which a majority
of the members of Corporation's Board of Directors are not "Continuing
Directors."

                (f) "CONTINUING DIRECTORS" shall mean, as of any date of
determination, any member of the Board of Directors of Corporation who (i) was a
member of that Board of Directors on January l, 1993, (ii) has been a member of
that Board of Directors for the two years immediately preceding such date of
determination, or (iii) was nominated for election or elected to the Board of
Directors with the affirmative vote of the greater of (x) a majority of
Continuing Directors who were members of the Board at the time of such
nomination or election or (y) at least four Continuing Directors.

                (g) "CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION" shall mean (i) any material
breach of this Agreement by Corporation; (ii) any actual or implied threat of
discharge of Officer by Corporation under circumstances which would not
constitute a Termination for Cause and which results in an involuntary
resignation of employment by Officer; (iii) any substantial reduction in the
authority or responsibility of Officer or other substantial reduction in the
terms and conditions of Officer's employment under circumstances which would not
justify a Termination for Cause and which are not the result of a material
breach by Officer of this Agreement; (iv) any act(s) by Corporation which are
designed or have the effect of rendering Officer's working conditions so
intolerable or demeaning on a recurring basis that a reasonable person would
resign such employment, (v) a material adverse alteration in Officer's reporting
relationships, position, responsibilities, title or status; (vi) a reduction in
Officer's compensation or a substantial reduction in benefits provided to
Officer that are provided for or referenced hereunder; (vii) relocation of
Officer to a location that is more than 35 miles from the location of the
Corporation's headquarters on the date this Agreement is executed.

                (h) "DEFERRED COMPENSATION" or "deferred compensation" shall
mean any individual or group plan, program, agreement or other arrangement,
whether or not a "plan" for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and whether or not a retirement plan or supplemental
executive retirement plan or additional retirement plan as contemplated by
Section 3.11 of the Agreement, but which in any event involves an agreement by
the Corporation to make payment(s) to Officer at a future date as compensation
for current services to the Corporation. The term Deferred Compensation or
deferred compensation shall include, but not be limited to, benefits described
in the Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated Executive Retirement Plan, the 1993
Employees Stock Incentive Plan and the First Performance Based Restricted Stock
Implementation under the 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, or any additional
implementation thereof, each as it now exists or may hereafter be amended.

            2.2 BASIC TERM. The term of employment of Officer by Corporation
shall be from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2004, unless terminated
earlier pursuant to this Section 2. Commencing in 2000, on the first day of
January of each year, the first sentence of this Section 2.2 shall be amended by
deleting the year then appearing therein and inserting in its place the next
subsequent year.

            2.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Termination For Cause may be effected by
Corporation at any time during the term of this Agreement and shall be effected
by written notification to Officer. Upon Termination For Cause, Officer
immediately shall be paid all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent
earned, vested



                                       2

Disability within the contemplation of the Executive Retirement Plan shall
accrue such additional post-disability, post-termination benefits as may be
determined in accordance with such Plan.

            2.6 DEATH. In the event of Officer's death during the term of this
Agreement, Officer's employment shall be deemed to have terminated as of the
last day of the month during which his death occurs and Corporation shall pay to

without regard to such Termination (other than pension plan or profit sharing
plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plan), any
benefits under any plans of the Corporation in which Officer is a participant to

vacation pay and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Officer in
connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, but

            2.8 TERMINATION UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL OR RETIREMENT. In the event
of (i) a Termination Upon a Change in Control or (ii) retirement by Officer upon
attainment of eligibility to retire in accordance with the Executive Retirement
Plan as in effect upon the date of this Agreement, Officer shall immediately be
paid all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned through the
date of termination, including compensation that was earned and deferred,
whether or not vested without regard to the Change in Control (other than
pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance
with the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in
which Officer is a participant to the full extent of Officer's rights under such
plans (including accelerated release and full vesting of shares reserved for
Officer under Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof), accrued vacation pay and any appropriate business
expenses incurred by Officer in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the
date of termination, and all severance compensation provided in Section 4.1, but
no other compensation or reimbursement of any kind.

            2.9 NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Corporation may effect a termination of
this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 upon giving 30 days
written notice to Officer of such termination. Officer may effect a termination
of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2 upon giving 60
days written notice to Corporation of such termination.

            2.10 DETERMINATION OF BENEFIT UPON EARLY PAYMENT. In the event a
Participant's deferred compensation benefit becomes vested in accordance with
Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 or 2.8, Officer shall have the following rights and
Corporation shall take appropriate action to amend or modify its compensation
arrangements in order to cause:

                (a) any deferred compensation under the Corporation's 1993
Employees Stock Incentive Plan shall be effected by an immediate full vesting of
any awards granted to Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employee Stock
Incentive Plan, and any implementation thereof; and an immediate release and
full vesting of awards that have been reserved by the Corporation for Officer
under the Corporation's 1993 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof, or otherwise, such release and vesting to be made within
a reasonable time after the relevant event;

                (b) any deferred compensation payable under a nonqualified
defined contribution plan shall be made available for payment within an
administratively practicable time after the relevant event, in an amount equal
to the then-current book account balance; and

                (c) any deferred compensation payable under a nonqualified
defined benefit plan shall be made available for payment within an
administratively practicable time after the relevant event in an amount equal to
the greater of (i) the benefit, if any, otherwise determined in accordance with
the relevant plan, or (ii) the present value of the then-accrued benefit,
determined by reducing the accrued benefit from age 65 to the date as of which
payment is made, using the actuarial assumptions which have been used for
financial accounting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

         3. SALARY, BENEFITS AND BONUS COMPENSATION.

            3.1 BASE SALARY. As payment for the services to be rendered by
Officer as provided in Section 1 and subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 2, Corporation agrees to pay to Officer a "Base Salary" for the 12
calendar months beginning January 1, 1999 at the rate of $275,000 per annum
payable in 24 equal semi-monthly installments. The Base Salary for each year (or
portion thereof) beginning January 1, 2000 shall be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee")
which shall authorize an increase in Officer's Base Salary in an amount which,
at a minimum, shall be equal to the cumulative cost-of-living increment on the
Base Salary as reported in the "Consumer Price Index, Nashville, Tennessee, All
Items," published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Officer's Base Salary shall
be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee.




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

            3.2 BONUSES. Officer shall be eligible to receive a bonus for each
year (or portion thereof) during the term of this Agreement and any extensions
thereof, with the actual amount of any such bonus to be determined by the
Compensation Committee in accordance with the Corporation's Executive Variable
Incentive Plan. All such bonuses shall be payable within 45 days after the end
of the year to which such bonus relates. All such bonuses shall be reviewed
annually by the Compensation Committee.

            3.3 ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. During the term of this Agreement, Officer
shall be entitled to the following fringe benefits:

                (a) OFFICER BENEFITS. Officer shall be eligible to participate
in such of Corporation's benefits and deferred compensation plans as are now
generally available or later made generally available to executive officers of
the Corporation, including, without limitation, Corporation's 1993 Employees
Stock Incentive Plan, and any implementation thereof,, profit sharing plans,
annual physical examinations, dental and medical plans, personal catastrophe and
disability insurance, financial planning, retirement plans and supplementary
executive retirement plans, if any. For purposes of establishing the length of
service under any benefit plans or programs of Corporation, Officer's employment
with the Corporation will be deemed to have commenced on May 1, 1994.

                (b) VACATION. Officer shall be entitled to six weeks of vacation
during each year during the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof,
prorated for partial years.

                (c) LIFE INSURANCE. For the term of this Agreement and any
extensions thereof, Corporation shall at its expense procure and keep in effect
term life insurance on the life of Officer, payable to such beneficiaries as
Officer may from time to time designate, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000.
Such policy shall be owned by Officer or by a member of his immediate family.

                (d) REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES. During the term of this
Agreement, Corporation shall reimburse Officer for reasonable and properly
documented out-of-pocket business and/or entertainment expenses incurred by
Officer in connection with his duties under this Agreement.

         4. SEVERANCE COMPENSATION.

            4.1 SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION UPON A
CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event Officer's employment is terminated in a
Termination Upon a Change in Control, Officer shall be paid as severance
compensation his Base Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such
termination), through the remaining term of this Agreement and any extensions
thereof, on the dates specified in Section 3.1; provided, however, that if
Officer is employed by a new employer during such period, the severance
compensation payable to Officer during such period will be reduced by the amount
of compensation that Officer is receiving from the new employer. However,
Officer is under no obligation to mitigate the amount owed Officer pursuant to
this Section 4.1 by seeking other employment or otherwise. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, Officer may in Officer's sole
discretion, by delivery of a notice to Corporation within 30 days following a
Termination Upon a Change in Control, elect to receive from Corporation a lump
sum severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to the present value of the
flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to Officer pursuant to this
Section 4.1. However, in no event shall payment pursuant to this Section 4.1 be
less than three times Base Salary as defined herein for the applicable period.
Such present value shall be determined as of the date of delivery of the notice
of election by Officer and shall be based on a discount rate equal to the
interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as reported in the Wall Street
Journal (or similar publication), on the date of delivery of the election
notice. If Officer elects to receive a lump sum severance payment, Corporation
shall make such payment to Officer within 10 days following the date on which
Officer notifies Corporation of Officer's election. In addition to the severance
payment payable under this Section 4.1, Officer shall be paid an amount equal
to: (i) three times the average annual bonus earned by Officer in the two years
immediately preceding the date of termination, and (ii) the average annual
incentive amount actually earned by Officer during the two years prior to the
severance. Officer shall also receive (i) full vesting of any awards granted to
Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof; and (ii) an immediate release of awards that have been
reserved by



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

the Corporation for Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock
Incentive Plan, and any implementation thereof, or otherwise, and full vesting
of such awards. Officer shall continue to accrue retirement benefits and shall
continue to enjoy any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in which
Officer is a participant to the full extent of Officer's rights under such
plans, including any perquisites provided under this Agreement, through the
remaining term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the benefits under any
such plans of the Corporation in which Officer is a participant, including any
such perquisites, shall cease upon re-employment by a new employer.

            4.2 SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION OTHER THAN
FOR CAUSE. In the event Officer's employment is terminated in a Termination
Other Than for Cause, Officer shall be paid as severance compensation his Base
Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such termination), for a period of
three years from the date of such termination, on the dates specified in Section
3.1; provided, however, that if Officer is employed by a new employer during
such period, the severance compensation payable to Officer during such period
will be reduced by the amount of compensation that Officer is receiving from the
new employer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary,
Officer may in Officer's sole discretion, by delivery of a notice to Corporation
within 30 days following a Termination Other Than for Cause, elect to receive
from Corporation a lump sum severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to
the present value of the flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to
Officer pursuant to this Section 4.2. However, in no event shall payment
pursuant to this Section 4.2 be less than three times Base Salary as defined
herein for the applicable period. Such present value shall be determined as of
the date of delivery of the notice of election by Officer and shall be based on
a discount rate equal to the interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as
reported in the Wall Street Journal (or similar publication), on the date of
delivery of the election notice. If Officer elects to receive a lump sum
severance payment, Corporation shall make such payment to Officer within ten
days following the date on which Officer notifies Corporation of Officer's
election. In addition to the severance payment payable under this Section 4.2,
Officer shall be paid an amount equal to two times the average annual bonus
earned by Officer in the two years immediately preceding the date of termination
and Officer shall also receive (i) full vesting of any awards granted to Officer
under Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any implementation
thereof; and (ii) an immediate release of awards that have been reserved for
Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof, or otherwise, and full vesting of such awards. Officer
shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of any Accrued Benefit under each
Deferred Compensation plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, continued benefit
accrual shall not apply in the case of any tax-qualified retirement plan if such
accrual would adversely affect the tax-qualified status of such plan; provided,
however, that the benefit which would otherwise have been contributed by the
Corporation to the account of the Officer in any tax-qualified defined
contribution and the single sum value of the benefit plan shall be paid by the
Corporation to the Officer as each such contribution or benefit would have been
made or accrued, as applicable, assuming that the Officer had remained employed
on a full-time basis with a rate of pay equal to his Base Salary. In the case of
a Termination Other Than for Cause by reason of the disability of the
Participant, and if the Participant is retired for Disability under the
Executive Retirement Plan, then the Officer will continue to accrue benefits as
provided in the Executive Retirement Plan at the time he incurs his Disability,
notwithstanding any subsequent nonsubstantial employment.

            4.3 NO SEVERANCE COMPENSATION UPON OTHER TERMINATION. In the event
of a Voluntary Termination, Termination For Cause, termination by reason of
Officer's disability pursuant to Section 2.5, or termination by reason of
Officer's death pursuant to Section 2.6, Officer or his estate shall not be paid
any severance compensation and shall receive only the benefits as provided in
the appropriate section of Article II applicable to the respective termination.

            4.4 ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS DUE TO CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                (a) Gross Up Payment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or
distribution by or on behalf of the Corporation to or for the benefit of
Employee as a result of a "change in control," as defined in Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), involving the
Corporation or its affiliates (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section
4.4 (a "Payment")) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Officer with respect to
such excise tax (such excise tax, together



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Excise Tax"), then Officer shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Officer
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment, Officer retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments.

                (b) Tax Opinion. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(c),
all determinations required to be made under this Section 4.4, including whether
and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment
and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be
made by a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm selected by the
Corporation (the "Tax Firm"); provided, however, that the Tax Firm shall not
determine that no Excise Tax is payable by Officer unless it delivers to Officer
a written opinion (the "Tax Opinion") that failure to pay the Excise Tax and to
report the Excise Tax and the payments potentially subject thereto on or with
Officer's applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition
of an accuracy-related or other penalty on Officer. All fees and expenses of the
Tax Firm shall be borne solely by the Corporation. Within 15 business days of
the receipt of notice from Officer that there has been a Payment, or such
earlier time as is requested by the Corporation, the Tax Firm shall make all
determinations required under this Section 4.4, shall provide to the Corporation
and Officer a written report setting forth such determinations, together with
detailed supporting calculations, and, if the Tax Firm determines that no Excise
Tax is payable, shall deliver the Tax Opinion to Officer. Any Gross-Up Payment,
as determined pursuant to this Section 4.4, shall be paid by the Corporation to
Officer within fifteen days of the receipt of the Tax Firm's determination.
Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.4, any determination by the Tax Firm
shall be binding upon the Corporation and Officer; provided, however, that
Officer shall only be bound to the extent that the determinations of the Tax
Firm hereunder, including the determinations made in the Tax Opinion, are
reasonable and reasonably supported by applicable law. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
initial determination by the Tax Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up
Payments which will not have been made by the Corporation should have been made
("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder. In the event that it is ultimately determined in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 4.4(c) that Officer is required to make a
payment of any Excise Tax, the Tax Firm shall reasonably determine the amount of
the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly
paid by the Corporation to or for the benefit of Officer. In determining the
reasonableness of Tax Firm's determinations hereunder, and the effect thereof,
Officer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such determinations
with Tax Firm and Officer's tax counsel. Tax Firm's determinations hereunder,
and the Tax Opinion, shall not be deemed reasonable until Officer's reasonable
objections and comments thereto have been satisfactorily accommodated by Tax
Firm.

                (c) Notice of IRS Claim. Officer shall notify the Corporation in
writing of any claims by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
require the payment by the Corporation of the Gross-Up Payment. Such
notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 30 calendar
days after Officer actually receives notice in writing of such claim and shall
apprise the Corporation of the nature of such claim and the date on which such
claim is requested to be paid; provided, however, that the failure of Officer to
notify the Corporation of such claim (or to provide any required information
with respect thereto) shall not affect any rights granted to Officer under this
Section 4.4 except to the extent that the Corporation is materially prejudiced
in the defense of such claim as a direct result of such failure. Officer shall
not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the
date on which he gives such notice to the Corporation (or such shorter period
ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).
If the Corporation notifies Officer in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, Officer shall do all of the
following:

         I.       give the Corporation any information reasonably requested by
                  the Corporation relating to such claim;

         II.      take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
                  the Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time
                  to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
                  representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
                  selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to
                  Officer;

         III.     cooperate with the Corporation in good faith in order
                  effectively to contest such claim;




                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         IV.      if the Corporation elects not to assume and control the
                  defense of such claim, permit the Corporation to participate
                  in any proceedings relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Corporation shall bear and pay directly all costs
and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on
an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4, the Corporation shall have the right, at its sole option, to assume
the defense of and control all proceedings in connection with such contest, in
which case it may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim and may either direct Officer to pay the tax claimed and sue for a
refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Officer agrees to
prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if the Corporation directs
Officer to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Corporation shall advance
the amount of such payment to Officer, on an interest-free basis and shall
indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax
or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed
with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Officer with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. Furthermore, the Corporation's right to assume the
defense of and control the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to
which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Officer shall be
entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

                (d) Right to Tax Refund. If, after the receipt by Officer of an
amount advanced by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4.4, Officer becomes
entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Officer shall
(subject to the Corporation's complying with the requirements of Section 4.4(c))
promptly pay to the Corporation the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the
receipt by Officer of an amount advanced by the Corporation pursuant to Section
4.4(c), a determination is made that Officer is not entitled to a refund with
respect to such claim and the Corporation does not notify Officer in writing of
its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days
after such determination, then such advance shall, to the extent of such denial,
be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of forgiven
advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment
required to be paid.

         5. NON-COMPETITION; DISCLOSURE OF INVESTMENTS. During the term of this
Agreement, including the period, if any, during which Officer shall be entitled
to severance compensation pursuant to Section 4.2, Officer shall not engage in
any activity competitive with the Corporation. Simultaneously with Officer's
execution of this Agreement and upon each anniversary of the Effective Date,
Officer shall notify the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the nature
and extent of Officer's investments, stock holdings, employment as an employee,
director, or any similar interest in any business or enterprise other than
Corporation; provided, however, that Officer shall have no obligation to
disclose any investment under $100,000 in value or any holdings of publicly
traded securities which are not in excess of one percent of the outstanding
class of such securities. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
the restrictions and covenants of this Section 5 shall not apply in the event of
a Termination Upon a Change in Control.

         6. MISCELLANEOUS.

            6.1 Payment Obligations. Corporation's obligation to pay Officer the
compensation and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be
unconditional, and Officer shall have no obligation whatsoever to mitigate
damages hereunder. If litigation after a Change in Control shall be brought to
enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, Corporation, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws, hereby indemnifies Officer for Officer's reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred in such litigation.

            6.2 CONFIDENTIALITY. Officer agrees that all confidential and
proprietary information relating to the business of Corporation shall be kept
and treated as confidential both during and after the term of this Agreement,
except as may be permitted in writing by Corporation's Board of Directors or as
such information is within the public domain or comes within the public domain
without any breach of this Agreement.

            6.3 WAIVER. The waiver of the breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach
of the same or other provision hereof.

            6.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS. Except as otherwise provided
herein, this Agreement represents the entire understanding among the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement supersedes any and
all prior understandings, agreements, plans and negotiations, whether written or
oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including without limitation,
any understandings, agreements or obligations respecting any past or future
compensation, bonuses, reimbursements or other payments to Officer from
Corporation. All modifications to the Agreement must be in writing and signed by
the party against whom enforcement of such modification is sought.

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as

                                    AGREEMENT

         THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

         1. DUTIES. During the term of this Agreement, Officer agrees to be

Financial Officer, and Corporation agrees to employ and retain Officer in such
capacities. Officer shall devote such of his business time, energy, and skill to
the affairs of Corporation as shall be necessary to perform the duties of such

material, substantial and willful dishonesty towards, fraud upon, or deliberate
injury or attempted injury to, Corporation or by reason of Officer's material,
substantial and willful breach of this Agreement which has resulted in material
injury to Corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of

employment, effective upon notice from Officer to Corporation of such
Constructive Termination. A failure or refusal of Corporation to extend the term

shall be deemed a Termination Other Than For Cause.

                (c) "VOLUNTARY TERMINATION" shall mean termination by Officer of
Officer's employment by Corporation other than (i) Constructive Termination as
described in subsection 2.1(g), (ii)

death or disability as described in Sections 2.5 and 2.6 and (iv) termination by
reason of retirement by Officer upon attainment of eligibility to retire in
accordance with the Executive Retirement Plan as in effect upon the date of this
Agreement.

                (d) "TERMINATION UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean a

following a "Change in Control."

("Exchange Act")) have acquired direct or indirect beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 20 percent or more of
Corporation's outstanding securities, unless a majority of the "Continuing
Directors" approves the acquisition not later than ten business days after
Corporation makes that determination, or (ii) the first day on which a majority
of the members of Corporation's Board of Directors are not "Continuing
Directors."

determination, or (iii) was nominated for election or elected to the Board of
Directors with the affirmative vote of the greater of (x) a majority of
Continuing Directors who were members of the Board at the time of such
nomination or election or (y) at least four Continuing Directors.

                (g) "CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION" shall mean (i) any material
breach of this Agreement by Corporation; (ii) any actual or implied threat of
discharge of Officer by Corporation under circumstances which would not
constitute a Termination for Cause and which results in an involuntary
resignation of employment by Officer; (iii) any substantial reduction in the
authority or responsibility of Officer or other substantial reduction in the
terms and conditions of Officer's employment under circumstances which would not
justify a Termination for Cause and which are not the result of a material
breach by Officer of this Agreement; (iv) any act(s) by Corporation which are
designed or have the effect of rendering Officer's working conditions so
intolerable or demeaning on a recurring basis that a reasonable person would
resign such employment, (v) a material adverse alteration in Officer's reporting
relationships, position, responsibilities, title or status; (vi) a reduction in
Officer's compensation or a substantial reduction in benefits provided to
Officer that are provided for or referenced hereunder; (vii) relocation of
Officer to a location that is more than 35 miles from the location of the
Corporation's headquarters on the date this Agreement is executed.

                (h) "DEFERRED COMPENSATION" or "deferred compensation" shall
mean any individual or group plan, program, agreement or other arrangement,
whether or not a "plan" for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security

shall be entitled to the following fringe benefits:

                (a) OFFICER BENEFITS. Officer shall be eligible to participate

documented out-of-pocket business and/or entertainment expenses incurred by
Officer in connection with his duties under this Agreement.

         4. SEVERANCE COMPENSATION.

            4.1 SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION UPON A
CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event Officer's employment is terminated in a
Termination Upon a Change in Control, Officer shall be paid as severance
compensation his Base Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such
termination), through the remaining term of this Agreement and any extensions
thereof, on the dates specified in Section 3.1; provided, however, that if
Officer is employed by a new employer during such period, the severance
compensation payable to Officer during such period will be reduced by the amount
of compensation that Officer is receiving from the new employer. However,
Officer is under no obligation to mitigate the amount owed Officer pursuant to
this Section 4.1 by seeking other employment or otherwise. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, Officer may in Officer's sole
discretion, by delivery of a notice to Corporation within 30 days following a
Termination Upon a Change in Control, elect to receive from Corporation a lump
sum severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to the present value of the
flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to Officer pursuant to this
Section 4.1. However, in no event shall payment pursuant to this Section 4.1 be
less than three times Base Salary as defined herein for the applicable period.
Such present value shall be determined as of the date of delivery of the notice
of election by Officer and shall be based on a discount rate equal to the
interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as reported in the Wall Street
Journal (or similar publication), on the date of delivery of the election
notice. If Officer elects to receive a lump sum severance payment, Corporation
shall make such payment to Officer within 10 days following the date on which
Officer notifies Corporation of Officer's election. In addition to the severance
payment payable under this Section 4.1, Officer shall be paid an amount equal
to: (i) three times the average annual bonus earned by Officer in the two years
immediately preceding the date of termination, and (ii) the average annual
incentive amount actually earned by Officer during the two years prior to the
severance. Officer



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

shall also receive (i) full vesting of any awards granted to Officer under the
Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any implementation
thereof; and (ii) an immediate release of awards that have been reserved by the
Corporation for Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive
Plan, and any implementation thereof, or otherwise, and full vesting of such
awards. Officer shall continue to accrue retirement benefits and shall continue
to enjoy any benefits under any plans of the Corporation in which Officer is a
participant to the full extent of Officer's rights under such plans, including
any perquisites provided under this Agreement, through the remaining term of
this Agreement; provided, however, that the benefits under any such plans of the
Corporation in which Officer is a participant, including any such perquisites,
shall cease upon re-employment by a new employer.

            4.2 SEVERANCE COMPENSATION IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION OTHER THAN
FOR CAUSE. In the event Officer's employment is terminated in a Termination
Other Than for Cause, Officer shall be paid as severance compensation his Base
Salary (at the rate payable at the time of such termination), for a period of
three years from the date of such termination, on the dates specified in Section
3.1; provided, however, that if Officer is employed by a new employer during
such period, the severance compensation payable to Officer during such period
will be reduced by the amount of compensation that Officer is receiving from the
new employer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary,
Officer may in Officer's sole discretion, by delivery of a notice to Corporation
within 30 days following a Termination Other Than for Cause, elect to receive
from Corporation a lump sum severance payment by bank cashier's check equal to
the present value of the flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to
Officer pursuant to this Section 4.2. However, in no event shall payment
pursuant to this Section 4.2 be less than three times Base Salary as defined
herein for the applicable period. Such present value shall be determined as of
the date of delivery of the notice of election by Officer and shall be based on
a discount rate equal to the interest rate on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills, as
reported in the Wall Street Journal (or similar publication), on the date of
delivery of the election notice. If Officer elects to receive a lump sum
severance payment, Corporation shall make such payment to Officer within ten
days following the date on which Officer notifies Corporation of Officer's
election. In addition to the severance payment payable under this Section 4.2,
Officer shall be paid an amount equal to two times the average annual bonus
earned by Officer in the two years immediately preceding the date of termination
and Officer shall also receive (i) full vesting of any awards granted to Officer
under Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any implementation
thereof; and (ii) an immediate release of awards that have been reserved for
Officer under the Corporation's 1993 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, and any
implementation thereof, or otherwise, and full vesting of such awards. Officer
shall be entitled to accelerated vesting of any Accrued Benefit under each
Deferred Compensation plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, continued benefit
accrual shall not apply in the case of any tax-qualified retirement plan if such
accrual would adversely affect the tax-qualified status of such plan; provided,
however, that the benefit which would otherwise have been contributed by the
Corporation to the account of the Officer in any tax-qualified defined
contribution and the single sum value of the benefit plan shall be paid by the
Corporation to the Officer as each such contribution or benefit would have been
made or accrued, as applicable, assuming that the Officer had remained employed
on a full-time basis with a rate of pay equal to his Base Salary. In the case of
a Termination Other Than for Cause by reason of the disability of the
Participant, and if the Participant is retired for Disability under the
Executive Retirement Plan, then the Officer will continue to accrue benefits as
provided in the Executive Retirement Plan at the time he incurs his Disability,
notwithstanding any subsequent nonsubstantial employment.

            4.3 NO SEVERANCE COMPENSATION UPON OTHER TERMINATION. In the event
of a Voluntary Termination, Termination For Cause, termination by reason of
Officer's disability pursuant to Section 2.5, or termination by reason of
Officer's death pursuant to Section 2.6, Officer or his estate shall not be paid
any severance compensation and shall receive only the benefits as provided in
the appropriate section of Article II applicable to the respective termination.

            4.4 ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS DUE TO CHANGE IN CONTROL.

                (a) Gross Up Payment. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or
distribution by or on behalf of the Corporation to or for the benefit of
Employee as a result of a "change in control," as defined in Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), involving the
Corporation or its affiliates (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but
determined without regard to any additional



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

payments required under this Section 4.4 (a "Payment")) would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties are
incurred by Officer with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Excise Tax"), then Officer shall be entitled to receive an additional
payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Officer
of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up
Payment, Officer retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments.

                (b) Tax Opinion. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(c),
all determinations required to be made under this Section 4.4, including whether
and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment
and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be
made by a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm selected by the
Corporation (the "Tax Firm"); provided, however, that the Tax Firm shall not
determine that no Excise Tax is payable by Officer unless it delivers to Officer
a written opinion (the "Tax Opinion") that failure to pay the Excise Tax and to
report the Excise Tax and the payments potentially subject thereto on or with
Officer's applicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition
of an accuracy-related or other penalty on Officer. All fees and expenses of the
Tax Firm shall be borne solely by the Corporation. Within 15 business days of
the receipt of notice from Officer that there has been a Payment, or such
earlier time as is requested by the Corporation, the Tax Firm shall make all
determinations required under this Section 4.4, shall provide to the Corporation
and Officer a written report setting forth such determinations, together with
detailed supporting calculations, and, if the Tax Firm determines that no Excise
Tax is payable, shall deliver the Tax Opinion to Officer. Any Gross-Up Payment,
as determined pursuant to this Section 4.4, shall be paid by the Corporation to
Officer within fifteen days of the receipt of the Tax Firm's determination.
Subject to the remainder of this Section 4.4, any determination by the Tax Firm
shall be binding upon the Corporation and Officer; provided, however, that
Officer shall only be bound to the extent that the determinations of the Tax
Firm hereunder, including the determinations made in the Tax Opinion, are
reasonable and reasonably supported by applicable law. As a result of the
uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
initial determination by the Tax Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up
Payments which will not have been made by the Corporation should have been made
("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made
hereunder. In the event that it is ultimately determined in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 4.4(c) that Officer is required to make a
payment of any Excise Tax, the Tax Firm shall reasonably determine the amount of
the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly
paid by the Corporation to or for the benefit of Officer. In determining the
reasonableness of Tax Firm's determinations hereunder, and the effect thereof,
Officer shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such determinations
with Tax Firm and Officer's tax counsel. Tax Firm's determinations hereunder,
and the Tax Opinion, shall not be deemed reasonable until Officer's reasonable
objections and comments thereto have been satisfactorily accommodated by Tax
Firm.

                (c) Notice of IRS Claim. Officer shall notify the Corporation in
writing of any claims by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
require the payment by the Corporation of the Gross-Up Payment. Such
notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 30 calendar
days after Officer actually receives notice in writing of such claim and shall
apprise the Corporation of the nature of such claim and the date on which such
claim is requested to be paid; provided, however, that the failure of Officer to
notify the Corporation of such claim (or to provide any required information
with respect thereto) shall not affect any rights granted to Officer under this
Section 4.4 except to the extent that the Corporation is materially prejudiced
in the defense of such claim as a direct result of such failure. Officer shall
not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the
date on which he gives such notice to the Corporation (or such shorter period
ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).
If the Corporation notifies Officer in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, Officer shall do all of the
following:

         I.       give the Corporation any information reasonably requested by
                  the Corporation relating to such claim;

         II.      take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
                  the Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time
                  to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
                  representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
                  selected by the Corporation and reasonably acceptable to
                  Officer;




                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         III.     cooperate with the Corporation in good faith in order
                  effectively to contest such claim;


         IV.      if the Corporation elects not to assume and control the
                  defense of such claim, permit the Corporation to participate
                  in any proceedings relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Corporation shall bear and pay directly all costs
and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on
an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.4, the Corporation shall have the right, at its sole option, to assume
the defense of and control all proceedings in connection with such contest, in
which case it may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals,
proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
such claim and may either direct Officer to pay the tax claimed and sue for a
refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Officer agrees to
prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in
a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the
Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if the Corporation directs
Officer to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Corporation shall advance
the amount of such payment to Officer, on an interest-free basis and shall
indemnify and hold Officer harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax
or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed
with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect
to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Officer with
respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to
such contested amount. Furthermore, the Corporation's right to assume the
defense of and control the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to
which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Officer shall be
entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the
Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

                (d) Right to Tax Refund. If, after the receipt by Officer of an
amount advanced by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4.4, Officer becomes
entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Officer shall
(subject to the Corporation's complying with the requirements of Section 4.4(c))
promptly pay to the Corporation the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the
receipt by Officer of an amount advanced by the Corporation pursuant to Section
4.4(c), a determination is made that Officer is not entitled to a refund with
respect to such claim and the Corporation does not notify Officer in writing of
its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days
after such determination, then such advance shall, to the extent of such denial,
be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of forgiven
advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment
required to be paid.

         5. NON-COMPETITION; DISCLOSURE OF INVESTMENTS. During the term of this
Agreement, including the period, if any, during which Officer shall be entitled
to severance compensation pursuant to Section 4.2, Officer shall not engage in
any activity competitive with the Corporation. Simultaneously with Officer's
execution of this Agreement and upon each anniversary of the Effective Date,
Officer shall notify the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the nature
and extent of Officer's investments, stock holdings, employment as an employee,
director, or any similar interest in any business or enterprise other than
Corporation; provided, however, that Officer shall have no obligation to
disclose any investment under $100,000 in value or any holdings of publicly
traded securities which are not in excess of one percent of the outstanding
class of such securities. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
the restrictions and covenants of this Section 5 shall not apply in the event of
a Termination Upon a Change in Control.

         6. MISCELLANEOUS.

            6.1 Payment Obligations. Corporation's obligation to pay Officer the
compensation and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be
unconditional, and Officer shall have no obligation whatsoever to mitigate
damages hereunder. If litigation after a Change in Control shall be brought to
enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, Corporation, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws, hereby indemnifies Officer for Officer's reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred in such litigation.

proprietary information relating to the business of Corporation shall be kept

such information is within the public domain or comes within the public domain

herein, this Agreement represents the entire understanding among the parties

parties; provided, however, that except as herein expressly provided, this
Agreement shall not be assignable either by the Corporation (except to an
affiliate of the Corporation in which event Corporation shall remain liable if
the affiliate fails to meet any obligations to make payments or provide benefits
or otherwise) or by Officer.

            6.11 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.

proceeding, to the maximum extent permitted under such applicable state laws.

                           "Applicable Percentage" means, for any day, a per
                  annum rate equal to (a) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, 2.00%
                  and (b) in the case of Base Rate Loans, 1.00%.

         2. The parties hereto agree that if on March 14, 2000 Bank of America,

         5. HRT will deliver to the Agent on or before January 31, 2000
certified copies of resolutions and other documentation evidencing approval of

shall not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account
for more than one such counterpart.

         9. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The Company operates under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), as an indefinite life real estate investment trust
("REIT"). The Company, a self-managed and self-administered REIT, follows a
general growth strategy that integrates owning, managing, and developing
income-producing real estate properties and mortgages associated with the
delivery of healthcare services throughout the United States. Management
believes that by providing related real estate services, it can differentiate
the Company's competitive market position, expand its asset base and increase
revenue.

         Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from rentals
on its healthcare real estate property facilities, interest earned on mortgage
loans and from the temporary investment of funds in short-term instruments and
from management and development services. Leases and other financial support
arrangements with respect to the Company's healthcare real estate facilities
generally ensure that increased costs and expenses incurred with respect to the
operation of the facilities will be borne by tenants and healthcare providers
related to the facilities. The Company incurs operating and administrative
expenses, principally compensation expense for its officers and other
employees, office rental and related occupancy costs and various expenses
incurred in the process of acquiring additional properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1999 Compared to 1998

         On October 15, 1998, the Company acquired by merger Capstone Capital
Corporation ("Capstone"). The purchase price is summarized as follows (in

         The results of operations of the Company have been significantly
affected by the Capstone merger. As a result of this transaction in 1998, the
Company acquired 111 properties and 75 mortgages with a fair value of $804.2
million and $211.6 million, respectively. The merger was effective October 15,
1998; therefore, 1998 consolidated revenues and expenses of the Company reflect
the effect of the Capstone assets acquired and liabilities assumed for only 2.5
months in 1998 versus the entire year for 1999. The Capstone investments, along
with commitments acquired in the merger, resulted in additional master lease
rent, straight line rent and property operating income, net of operating
expenses, for the year ended December 31, 1999, of $73.5 million, a $59.0
million or 407.1% increase from 1998. Mortgage interest income in 1999
resulting from these Capstone investments was $24.2 million, a $20.4 million or
543.3% increase from 1998. Interest and other income attributed to the Capstone
acquisition for the years ended 1999 and 1998 was $1.4 million and $0.4
million, respectively, a 286.2% increase. Depreciation and amortization expense
for the year ended December 31, 1999 attributed to the Capstone acquisition was
$24.8 million compared to $2.9 million in 1998, a $21.9 million or 739.0%
increase.

         For the year ended December 31, 1999, net income was $86.0 million, or
$2.02 per basic share of common stock ($1.99 per diluted share), on total
revenues of $187.3 million compared to net income of $40.5 million, or $1.66
per basic share of common stock ($1.63 per diluted share), on total revenues of
$92.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 1998. Funds from operations
("FFO") was $105.7 million, or $2.69 per basic share ($2.66 per diluted share),
for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $59.7 million, or $2.48 per
basic share ($2.44 per diluted share), in 1998.

</TABLE>

         Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the
year ended December 31, 1998, increased $94.8 million or 102.6%.

         Master lease rent, straight line rent and property operating income
increased $72.7 million or 86.5%. Excluding the effect of the Capstone merger,
master lease rent, straight line rent and property operating income increased
$4.8 million or 7.0%. During 1999, the Company acquired two revenue-producing
properties, and 11 properties under construction were completed and began
operations.

         Mortgage interest income increased $21.1 million or 412.8% for the
year ended December 31, 1999 compared to 1998 substantially due to the Capstone
merger.

         Interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
$1.5 million compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Excluding the effect of the Capstone merger, interest and other income
decreased $0.7 million from 1998 to 1999. In 1998, the Company recognized
development fee income from a third party project of $0.5 million, and the
Company's average cash balance was higher in 1998 resulting in more interest
income for the year.

         Third party management fees for the year ended December 31, 1999
compared to 1998 increased $0.7 million or 32.6% due primarily to the addition
of over 50 buildings with approximately 0.9 million square feet under property
management.

         Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $106.0
million compared to $52.6 million for 1998, an increase of $53.4 million or
101.4%.

         Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to
1998, increased $25.5 million or 195.6%. In conjunction with the Capstone
merger in 1998, the Company repaid the outstanding balances under both
Capstone's and its own unsecured credit facilities and entered into a $265.0
million unsecured credit facility and a $200.0 million unsecured term loan. The
average outstanding balances under its credit facilities and term loan for the
year ended 1999 compared to 1998 was $368.1 million and $82.3 million,
respectively, increasing interest expense in 1999 by approximately $18.6
million. The subordinated convertible debentures and mortgage notes payable
assumed by the Company in the Capstone merger resulted in an increase of $8.6
million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to
1998. These increases to interest expense discussed above were offset by
decreases to interest expense due to an increase in capitalized interest of
$0.5 million from 1998 to 1999 and a decrease of $1.3 million to interest
expense on the Company's unsecured notes due to scheduled repayments.

         Depreciation expense increased $22.6 million due substantially to the
properties acquired in the Capstone merger. Excluding the effect of the
Capstone merger, depreciation expense increased $0.8 million, resulting
primarily from the acquisition of 11 properties during 1998 and 1999.

         Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999,
compared to 1998, increased $9.1 million or 76.0% due mainly to the properties
acquired in the Capstone merger.

         General and administrative expenses decreased $3.8 million or 34.5%
for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to 1998. During 1998, the
Company recognized a $6.3 million write-off for certain capitalized software
costs, leasehold improvements, organization and other deferred costs which were
deemed to have no continuing value

<PAGE>   5
and for incremental internal costs incurred in conjunction with the Capstone
merger. After consideration of the write-off, the net $2.5 million increase was
primarily due to the increased number of employees for property management,
development, and other service-based activities, an increase and expansion of
the corporate office lease, and the write-off of certain project costs during
1999.

         During 1999, the Company sold five facilities and one partnership
interest in a facility resulting in net gains of $4.8 million, while the
Company's 1998 dispositions resulted in net gains of $0.7 million.

1998 Compared to 1997

         The results of operations of the Company were significantly affected
by the Capstone merger. For the year ended December 31, 1998, net income
increased approximately $12.3 million due to the Capstone merger. As a result
of this transaction, the Company acquired 111 properties and 75 mortgages with
a fair value of $804.2 million and $211.6 million, respectively. These
investments resulted in additional master lease rent, straight line rent,
mortgage interest income and property operating income, net of operating
expenses, for the year of $18.2 million, as well as, additional interest and
other income of $0.4 million. The Company also assumed Capstone's 6.55% and
10.5% convertible subordinated debentures and notes payable, with interest
rates ranging from 7.625% to 9.0%, with a collective fair value of $138.0
million, which resulted in interest expense of $1.4 million for the period
October 15, 1998 through December 31, 1998.

         For the year ended December 31, 1998, net income was $40.5 million, or
$1.66 per basic share of common stock ($1.63 per diluted share), on total
revenues of $92.4 million compared to net income of $31.2 million, or $1.71 per
basic share of common stock ($1.68 per diluted share), on total revenues of
$59.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 1997. Funds from operation was
$59.7 million, or $2.48 per basic share ($2.44 per diluted share), for the year
ended December 31, 1998 compared to $42.3 million, or $2.32 per basic share
($2.28 per diluted share), in 1997.

</TABLE>

         Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to the
year ended December 31, 1997, increased $32.6 million or 54.6%. Excluding the
effect of the Capstone merger, total revenues for the year ended December 31,
1998 compared to the year ended December 31, 1997 increased $12.9 million. This
increase is primarily due to increases in master lease rental income and
property operating income. During 1998, the Company acquired nine properties,
and two properties under construction were completed and began operations.
Certain leases acquired from Capstone contain escalating rental rates over the
life of the leases; however, rental income is recognized as earned on a
straight line basis over the life of the lease.

         Third party property management fees for the year ended December 31,
1998, compared to the year ended December 31, 1997, increased $0.6 million or
37.2% due primarily to the addition of over 60 buildings with approximately 2.6
million square feet under property management.

         Interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
$1.2 million compared to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Excluding the effect of the Capstone merger, interest and other income


<PAGE>   6


decreased $2.4 million from the year ending December 31, 1997 to the year
ending December 31, 1998. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company
completed a secondary offering and maintained a higher than normal average cash
and short-term investment balance.

         Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 were $52.6
million, compared to $28.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an
increase of $24.0 million or 84.1%. General and administrative expenses
increased $7.3 million. $6.3 million of this increase represents the write-off
of certain capitalized software costs, leasehold improvements, organization and
other deferred costs which were deemed to have no continuing value and
incremental internal costs incurred in conjunction with the Capstone merger.
The remaining $1.0 million increase is primarily due to the increased number of
employees for property management, development, and other service-based
activities.

         Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998,
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997, increased $7.0 million. Property
operating expenses rose during 1998 for the same reasons property operating
income increased.

         Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to the
year ended December 31, 1997, increased $5.1 million. At the time of the
Capstone merger, the Company repaid the outstanding balances under both
Capstone's and its own unsecured credit facilities and entered into a $265.0
million unsecured credit facility and a $200.0 million unsecured term loan.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company had an average outstanding
balance under its unsecured credit facility of $18.1 million, compared to an
average outstanding balance under its unsecured credit facility and term loan
during the year ended December 31, 1998 of $82.3 million. In addition,
Capstone's subordinated convertible debentures and notes payable were assumed
by the Company in the merger, and capitalized interest increased $0.7 million
from 1997 to 1998.

         Depreciation expense increased $4.5 million due to the significant
increase during 1998 in depreciable properties. Excluding the effect of the
Capstone merger, depreciation expense increased $1.6 million. This increase
primarily resulted from the acquisition of nine properties during 1998 and the
completion in 1998 of two properties under construction at December 31, 1997.

         During 1998, the Company sold one facility and a tract of land
resulting in net gains of $0.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         On October 15, 1998, at the time of the Capstone merger, the Company
repaid the outstanding balances under both Capstone's and its own unsecured
credit facilities and entered into a $265.0 million unsecured credit facility
(the "Unsecured Credit Facility") with ten commercial banks. The Unsecured
Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%, payable quarterly, and
matures on October 15, 2001. In addition, the Company will pay, quarterly, a
commitment fee of 0.225 of 1% on the unused portion of funds available for
borrowings. At December 31, 1999, the Company had available borrowing capacity
of $13.0 million under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

         At the time of the Capstone merger, the Company entered into a $200.0
million unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan Facility") with NationsBank (now
Bank of America). The Term Loan Facility, as amended, bears interest at LIBOR
plus 2.00%, payable quarterly, and matures on April 14, 2000. Effective January
14, 2000, the Company amended its Term Loan Facility agreement with Bank of
America. If the balance on the Term Loan Facility exceeds $25.0 million on
March 14, 2000, the interest rate will increase to LIBOR plus 2.50%. Since the
Capstone merger, the Company has received proceeds from the sale of assets and
from mortgage prepayments and reduced the unpaid balance of the Term Loan
Facility from $200.0 million to $113.7 million.

         In 1995, the Company privately placed $90.0 million of unsecured notes
(the "Unsecured Notes") bearing interest at 7.41%, payable semi-annually ($3.6
million for 2000), that mature on September 1, 2002. The Company must repay
$18.0 million of principal annually. At December 31, 1999, $54.0 million was
outstanding under the Unsecured Notes.

         The Company assumed in the Capstone merger 10.5% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures and 6.55% Convertible Subordinated Debentures having an
aggregate principal balance of $78.2 million at December 31, 1999. In 2000, the
Company will pay $5.3 million of interest on these subordinated debentures.

         In 1998, the Company sold an aggregate of 1.4 million shares of its
common stock. The Company received an aggregate of $37.1 million in net
proceeds from these transactions. The proceeds were used to repay debt and were
also used for acquisitions, developments and general corporate purposes.

         As of March 1, 2000, the Company can issue an aggregate of
approximately $123.8 million of securities remaining under the currently
effective registration statement. Due to the current market price of the
Company's stock, the Company does not presently plan to offer stock under its
registration statement. The Company may, under certain circumstances, borrow
additional amounts in connection with the renovation or expansion of its
properties, the acquisition or development of additional properties or, as
necessary, to meet distribution requirements for REITs under the Code. The
Company may raise additional capital or make investments by issuing, in public
or private transactions, debt securities, but the availability and terms of any
such issuance will depend upon market and other conditions.

         The Company generated net cash from operations in 1999 of $91.8
million, an increase of $70.0 million from 1998 and $51.4 million from 1997.
The increase from 1998 results primarily from the increase in net income. The
decrease in 1998 from 1997 resulted primarily from the payment of accounts
payable and accrued liabilities assumed in the Capstone merger. Other
significant sources and uses of cash for investing and financing activities are
set forth in the Statement of Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had an investment of
approximately $20.0 million in six build-to-suit developments in progress,
which have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $37.6 million.
Further, the Company had commitments to purchase or provide funding for the
construction of other properties totaling $12.4 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company also had six mortgages under development at December 31, 1999,
which have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $1.9 million.
The Company intends to fund these commitments with internally generated cash
flow, proceeds from the sale of additional assets, proceeds from additional
prepayments of mortgage notes receivable, and additional capital market
financing.

         At December 31, 1999, the Company had stockholders' equity of $1.0
billion. The debt to total capitalization ratio was approximately .352 to 1 at
January 31, 2000.

         On January 25, 2000, the Company declared an increase in its quarterly
common stock dividend from $.545 per share ($2.18 annualized) to $.55 per share
($2.20 annualized) payable to stockholders of record on February 4, 2000. This
dividend was paid on February 16, 2000. The Company presently plans to continue
to pay its quarterly common stock dividends, with increases consistent with its
current practice. In the event that the Company cannot make additional
investments in 2000 because of an inability to obtain new capital by issuing
equity and debt securities, the Company will continue to be able to pay its
common stock dividends in a manner consistent with its current practice. Should
access to new capital not be available, the Company is uncertain of its ability
to increase its quarterly common stock dividends beyond 2000.

         During 2000, the Company will pay quarterly dividends on its 8 7/8%
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock in the annualized amount of $2.22 per
share.

         Under the terms of the leases and other financial support agreements
relating to most of the properties, tenants or healthcare providers are
generally responsible for operating expenses and taxes relating to the
properties. As a result of these arrangements, with limited exceptions not
material to the performance of the Company, the Company does not believe that
any increases in the property operating expenses or taxes would significantly
impact the operating results of the Company during the respective terms of the
agreements. The Company anticipates entering into similar arrangements with
respect to additional properties it acquires or develops. After the term of the
lease or financial support agreement, or in the event the financial obligations
required by the agreement are not met, the Company anticipates that any
expenditures it might become responsible for in maintaining the properties will
be funded by cash from operations and, in the case of major expenditures,
possibly by borrowings. To the extent that unanticipated expenditures or
significant borrowings are required, the Company's cash available for
distribution and liquidity may be adversely affected.

         The Company plans to continue to meet its liquidity needs, including
funding additional investments in 2000, paying its quarterly dividends (with
increases consistent with its current practices) and funding the debt service
on the 10.50% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, the 6.55% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures, the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility,
and the Unsecured Notes from its cash flows, the proceeds of mortgage loan
repayments, sales of real estate investments and mortgage notes receivable, and
capital market financings. The Company is presently negotiating additional
capital market financing, the proceeds of which are expected to repay the Term
Loan Facility, the Unsecured Credit Facility and to fund other general
corporate purposes. The Company believes that its liquidity and sources of
capital are adequate to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company, however,
cannot be certain that these sources of funds will be available at a time and
upon terms acceptable to the Company in sufficient amounts to meet its
liquidity needs.

Impact of Inflation

         Inflation has not significantly affected the earnings of the Company
because of the moderate inflation rate and the fact that most of the Company's
leases and financial support arrangements require tenants and sponsors to pay
all or some portion of the increases in operating expenses, thereby reducing
the risk of any adverse effects of inflation to the Company. In addition,
inflation will have the effect of increasing gross revenue the Company is to
receive under the terms of the leases and financial support arrangements.
Leases and financial support arrangements vary in the remaining terms of
obligations from one to 23 years, further reducing the risk of any adverse
effects of inflation to the Company. The Unsecured Credit Facility bears
interest at a variable rate; therefore, the amount of interest payable under
the Unsecured Credit Facility will be influenced by changes in short-term
rates, which tend to be sensitive to inflation.

Year 2000 Issue

         During 1999, the Company completed its remediation and testing of
systems in connection with the Year 2000 issue. As a result of these efforts,
the Company experienced no disruptions or malfunctions at any of its
properties. The Company incurred costs of less than $50,000 in connection with
testing and remediation for the Year 2000 issue.

Market Risk

         The Company is exposed to market risk, in the form of changing
interest rates, on its debt and mortgage notes receivable. The Company has no
market risk with respect to derivatives and foreign currency fluctuations.
Management uses daily monitoring of market conditions and analytical techniques
to manage this risk.

         At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair value of the Company's
variable rate debt approximates its carrying value of $365.7 million and $350.2
million, respectively. By definition, because the interest rate is variable,
the carrying amount of variable rate debt will always approximate its fair
value. Assuming the December 31, 1999 and 1998 carrying value of $365.7 million
and $350.2 million, respectively, is held constant, the hypothetical increase
in interest expense resulting from a one percentage point increase in interest
rates, would be $3.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The interest rate
on variable rate debt is based on and variable with European interbank interest
rates (LIBOR).

         At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the carrying value of the Company's
fixed rate debt is $198.2 million and $209.7 million, respectively, and the
fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt is approximately $190.9 million and
$209.7 million, respectively. The fair value is based on the present value of
future cash flows discounted at the market rate of interest. Market risk,
expressed as the hypothetical increase in fair value resulting from a one
percentage point increase in interest rates, is $4.1 million and $7.2 million,
respectively, for aggregate fixed rate debt.

         At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the carrying value of the Company's
fixed rate mortgage notes receivable is $253.5 million and $237.6 million,
respectively, and the fair value is approximately $232.1 million and $237.6
million, respectively. The fair value is based on the present value of future
cash flows discounted at an assumed market rate of interest. Because no market
rates of interest are published for these assets, the market rate of interest
is assumed to be the same spread to U.S. Treasury yields for comparable
maturities that existed when the mortgage notes receivable were acquired in the
Capstone merger on October 15, 1998, adjusted to published U.S. Treasury
yields. Market risk, at December 31, 1999 and 1998, expressed as the
hypothetical decrease in fair value resulting from a one percentage point
increase in interest rates, is $10.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively,
on the aggregate portfolio of fixed rate mortgage notes receivable.

Cautionary Language Regarding Forward Looking Statements

         Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that are not historical,
factual statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements include, among
other things, statements regarding the intent, belief or expectations of the
Company and its officers and can be identified by the use of terminology such
as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "intend", "plan", "estimate", "should"
and other comparable terms. In addition, the Company, through its senior
management, from time to time makes forward looking oral and written public
statements concerning the Company's expected future operations and other
developments. Shareholders and investors are cautioned that, while forward
looking statements reflect the Company's good faith beliefs and best judgment
based upon current information, they are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results
may differ materially from the expectations contained in the forward looking
statements as a result of various factors. For a more detailed discussion of
these, and other factors, see Item 1 of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999.

                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST INCORPORATED


         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

         The Company invests in healthcare-related properties and mortgages
located throughout the United States, including ancillary hospital facilities,
physician clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, inpatient rehab facilities,
assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, comprehensive
ambulatory care centers, and other facilities. The Company provides management,
leasing and build-to-suit development, and capital for the construction of new
facilities as well as for the acquisition of existing properties. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had invested or committed to invest in 285
properties and mortgages located in 34 states, affiliated with 74
healthcare-related entities.

Basis of Presentation

         The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly owned subsidiaries and certain other affiliated corporations with
respect to which the Company controls the operating activities and receives
substantially all economic benefits. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Properties

         Real estate properties are recorded at cost. Transaction fees and
acquisition costs are included with the purchase price as appropriate. The cost
of real properties acquired is allocated between land, buildings, and personal
property based upon estimated market values at the time of acquisition.
Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the following
estimated useful lives:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                   <S>                                       <C>
                   Buildings and improvements                31.5 or 39.0 years
                   Personal property                           3.0 to 7.0 years
</TABLE>

Restricted Cash

         Restricted cash includes security deposits and other funds set aside
for capital expenditures on certain investments of the Company.

Mortgage Notes Receivable

         Mortgage notes receivable, substantially all of which were acquired in
the Capstone merger (see Note 2), were recorded at their fair value at the date
of acquisition. The mortgage portfolio has a weighted average maturity of
approximately 5.9 years. Interest rates, which range from 8% to 13%, are
generally adjustable each year to reflect actual increases in the Consumer
Price Index subject to a minimum increase of 4% of the current interest rate.
Substantially all of the mortgages are subject to a prepayment penalty.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at date
of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

Federal Income Taxes

         No provision has been made for federal income taxes. The Company
intends at all times to qualify as a real estate investment trust under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
Company must distribute at least 95% of its real estate investment trust
taxable income to its stockholders and meet other requirements to continue to
qualify as a real estate investment trust.

Other Assets

         Other assets consist primarily of receivables, deferred costs and
intangible assets. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the
related credit facility using the interest method. Intangible assets are
amortized straight-line over the applicable lives of the assets, which range
from four to forty years. Accumulated amortization was $2.0 million and $1.1
million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

         Rental income related to noncancelable operating leases is recognized
as earned over the life of the lease agreements on a straight-line basis. Any
additional rent, as defined in each lease agreement, is recognized as earned.

Stock Issued to Employees

         The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock issued to employees.

Net Income Per Share

         Basic earnings per share is calculated using weighted average shares
outstanding less issued and outstanding but unvested restricted shares of
Common Stock.

         Diluted earnings per share is calculated using weighted average shares
outstanding plus the dilutive effect of convertible debt and restricted shares
of Common Stock and outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method
and the average stock price during the period.

Significant Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"), which establishes standards for reporting
and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. The Company adopted FAS 130 effective for its
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Comprehensive income is the same as net
income for the Company.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("FAS 131"). The Company adopted FAS 131 effective for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998. The adoption of FAS 131 had no impact on the
Company, as the Company operates in only one business segment, consisting of
investments in healthcare-related properties and mortgages throughout the
United States.

Reclassification

         Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements
for the years ended 1998 and 1997 to conform to the 1999 presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations as previously
reported.

2.  CAPSTONE MERGER

         On October 15, 1998, the Company acquired Capstone Capital Corporation
("Capstone") in a stock-for-stock merger in which the stockholders of Capstone
received a fixed ratio of .8518 shares of the Company's common stock and the
holders of Capstone preferred stock received one share of the Company's voting
preferred stock in exchange for each share of Capstone preferred stock. The
Company issued 18,906,909 shares of common stock and 3,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and resulted
in no goodwill.

          The purchase price is summarized as follows (in thousands):

3.  REAL ESTATE PROPERTY LEASES

         The Company's properties are generally leased or supported pursuant to
noncancelable, fixed-term operating leases and other financial support
arrangements with expiration dates from 2000 to 2023. Some leases and financial
arrangements provide for fixed rent renewal terms of five years, or multiples
thereof, in addition to market rent renewal terms. The leases generally provide
the lessee, during the term of the lease and for a short period thereafter,
with an option and a right of first refusal to purchase the leased property.
Each lease generally requires the lessee to pay minimum rent, additional rent
based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index or increases in net patient
revenues (as defined in the lease agreements), and all taxes (including
property tax), insurance, maintenance and other operating costs associated with
the leased property.

         Amounts of rental income received from lessees who accounted for more
than 10% of the Company's rental income for the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 were (in thousands):

Unsecured Credit Facility

         On October 15, 1998, concurrent with the Capstone merger, the Company
repaid the outstanding balances under both Capstone and its own unsecured
credit facilities and entered into a $265.0 million unsecured credit facility
(the "Unsecured Credit Facility") with ten commercial banks. The Unsecured
Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%, payable quarterly, and
matures on October 15, 2001. In addition, the Company will pay, quarterly, a
commitment fee of 0.225 of 1% on the unused portion of funds available for
borrowings. The Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain representations,
warranties, and financial and other covenants customary in such loan
agreements. At December 31, 1999, the Company had available borrowing capacity
of $13.0 million under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

Term Loan Facility

         On October 15, 1998, concurrent with the Capstone merger, the Company
entered into a $200.0 million unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan Facility")
with Bank of America (formerly NationsBank). Effective January 14, 2000, the
Company amended its Term Loan Facility agreement with Bank of America. The Term
Loan Facility, as amended, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, payable
quarterly, and matures on April 14, 2000. If the balance on the Term Loan
Facility exceeds $25.0 million on March 14, 2000, the interest rate will
increase to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The Term Loan Facility contains certain
representations, warranties and financial and other covenants customary in such
loan agreements, as well as restrictions on dividend payments if minimum
tangible capital requirements are not met. At December 31, 1999, the Company
had no additional available borrowing capacity under the Term Loan Facility.

Unsecured Notes

         On September 18, 1995, the Company privately placed $90.0 million of
unsecured notes (the "Unsecured Notes") with 16 institutions. The Unsecured
Notes bear interest at 7.41%, payable semi-annually, and mature on September 1,
2002. Beginning on September 1, 1998 and on each September 1 through 2002, the
Company must repay $18.0 million of principal. The note agreements pursuant to
which the Unsecured Notes were purchased contain certain representations,
warranties and financial and other covenants customary in such loan agreements.

Convertible Subordinated Debentures

         As part of the Capstone merger, the Company assumed and recorded at
fair value $74.7 million aggregate face amount of 6.55% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures (the "6.55% Debentures") of Capstone. At December 31,
1999, the Company had approximately $73.8 million aggregate principal amount of
6.55% Debentures outstanding with a face amount of $74.7 million and unaccreted
discount of $0.9 million. Such rate of interest and accretion of discount
represents a yield to maturity of 7.5% per annum (computed on a semiannual bond
equivalent basis). The 6.55% Debentures are due on March 14, 2002, unless
redeemed earlier by the Company or converted by the holder, and are callable on
March 16, 2000. Interest on the 6.55% Debentures is payable on March 14 and
September 14 in each year. The 6.55% Debentures are convertible into shares of
common stock of the Company at the option of the holder at any time prior to
redemption or stated maturity, at a conversion price rate of 33.6251 shares per
$1 thousand bond.

         Also, as part of the Capstone merger, the Company assumed and recorded
at fair value $3.8 million aggregate face amount of 10.5% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures (the "10.5% Debentures") of Capstone. At December 31,
1999, the Company had approximately $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of
10.5% Debentures outstanding with a face amount of $3.4 million and unamortized
premium of $0.2 million. Such rate of interest and amortization of premium
represents a yield to maturity of 7.5% per annum (computed on a semiannual bond
equivalent basis). The


<PAGE>   19

10.5% Debentures are due on April 1, 2002, unless redeemed earlier by the
Company or converted by the holder, and are callable on April 5, 2000. Interest
on the 10.5% Debentures is payable on April 1 and October 1 in each year. The
10.5% Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at
the option of the holder at any time prior to redemption or stated maturity at
a conversion price rate of 52.8248 shares per $1 thousand bond.

to $25,000 of common stock at the lesser of 85% of the market price on the date
of grant or 85% of the market price on the date of exercise of such option (the
"Exercise Date"), but at not less than book value per share as of the December
31 immediately preceding the date of grant. The number of shares subject to
each year's option becomes fixed on the date of grant. Eligible employees
include those employees who were employed by the Company or a subsidiary on a
full-time basis as of May 1995 and those employees with six months of service
who are so employed by the Company or subsidiary as of each subsequent January
1. Options granted under the Employee Purchase Plan expire if not exercised 27

         The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following assumptions for
1999, 1998 and 1997; risk-free interest rates of 6.24%, 5.00% and 6.00%; a
dividend yield of 9.87%, 7.13% and 8.02%; a volatility factor of the expected
market price of the Company's Common Stock of .178, .139 and .096; and an
expected life of the option of 1.13 years, respectively.

         The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share for the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, calculated in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" is as follows (dollars in thousands, except for per

         In 1993, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 188,712 shares
of common stock (the "Warrants"). The Warrants were exercisable for a period of
four years commencing July 1, 1994 at a price of $19.50 per share, the then
current fair market value, subject to adjustment under applicable antidilution
provisions. The holders of the Warrants had the right to require the Company to
include the common stock underlying such Warrants in any registration statement
filed by the Company at the Company's expense. As of December 31, 1998, all
Warrants had either been exercised or cancelled.

         At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had authorized 3,347,895
and 3,430,112 shares, respectively, for future issuance under stock plans.

         The Company has revised its discretionary bonus incentive plan to
include restricted stock as part of bonuses for employees in management
positions. These restricted stock shares will vest over periods ranging from
three to five years. If an employee terminates employment with the Company
before the end of the vesting period, the shares are forfeited at no cost to
the Company. The Company's first bonus under this plan was issued March 1,
2000.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a net investment of
approximately $20.0 million in six build-to-suit developments in progress,
which have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $37.6 million.
Further, the Company has commitments to purchase or provide funding for the
construction of other properties totaling $12.4 million at December 31, 1999.
The Company also has six mortgages under development at December 31, 1999,
which have a total remaining funding commitment of approximately $1.9 million.

         As part of the Capstone merger, agreements were entered into with
three individuals affiliated with Capstone that restrict competitive practices
and which the Company believes will protect and enhance the value of the real
estate properties acquired from Capstone. These agreements provide for the
issuance of 150,000 shares per year of common stock of the Company to the
individuals on October 15 of the years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002, provided all
terms of the agreements are met. Upon issuance, these shares are valued at
$28.0714 per share, the valuation as of the date of the Capstone merger. The
Company issued 150,000 shares during 1999 pursuant to these agreements.

         On March 22, 1999, HR Acquisition I Corporation, formerly known as
Capstone Capital Corporation ("HRT"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
filed suit against Medistar Corporation and its affiliate, Medix Construction
Company in United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama,
Southern Division. HRT is seeking damages in excess of two million dollars
arising out of the development and construction of four real estate projects
located in different parts of the United States. Medistar and Medix served as
the developer and contractor, respectively, for the projects. HRT has asserted
claims for damages relating to, among others, alleged breaches of the
development and contracting obligations, failure to perform in accordance with
contract terms and specifications, and other deficiencies in performance by
Medistar and Medix. On June 10, 1999, Medistar and Medix filed its answer and
counterclaim asserting a variety of alleged legal theories, claims for damages
for alleged deficiencies by HRT and the Company in the performance of alleged
obligations, and for damage to their business reputation. Attempts at mediation
have not resulted in a settlement of the disputes. The Company's prosecution of
its claims and defense of the counterclaims will be vigorous. While the Company
cannot predict the range of possible loss or outcome, the Company believes
that, even though the asserted cross claims seek substantial monetary damages,
the allegations made by Medistar and Medix are not factually or legally
meritorious, are subject to sustainable defenses and are, to a significant
extent, covered by liability insurance.

11.  OTHER DATA

Funds From Operations (Unaudited)

         Funds from operations, as defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") 1995 White Paper, means net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation from real estate assets. Funds from operations does not represent
cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an
indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity.

Return of Capital

         Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally constitute a
return of capital. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
dividends paid per share of common stock were $2.15, $2.07 and $1.99,
respectively, which consisted of ordinary income per share of $2.00, $2.07 and
$1.72 and return of capital per share of $0.15, $0.00 and $0.27 respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, dividends paid per share of
preferred stock were $2.22 and $0.46, respectively, all of which was ordinary
income.

12.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and payables are a
reasonable estimate of their fair value at December 31, 1999 and 1998 due to
their short term nature. The fair value of notes and bonds payable is estimated
using cash flow analyses at December 31, 1999 and 1998, based on the Company's
current interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The
carrying amount of the Company's notes and bonds payable at December 31, 1999
is approximately $7.3 million greater than the fair value. The carrying amount
of the Company's mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 1999 is
approximately $21.4 million greater than the fair value. The fair value is
based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at an assumed market
rate of interest. Because no market rates of interest are published for these
assets, the market rate of interest is assumed to be the same spread to U.S.
Treasury yields for comparable maturities that existed when the mortgage notes
receivable were acquired in the Capstone merger on October 15, 1998, adjusted
to published U.S. Treasury yields. At December 31, 1998, the carrying value of
notes and bonds payable and mortgage notes receivable approximated fair value.

13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On January 25, 2000, the Company declared an increase in its quarterly
common stock dividend from $.545 per share ($2.18 annualized) to $.55 per share
($2.20 annualized) payable on February 16, 2000 to shareholders of record on
February 4, 2000. The Company also announced its quarterly preferred stock
dividend of $.55469 per share ($2.22 annualized) payable on February 29, 2000
to shareholders of record on February 4, 2000.
