ITEM 1. BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

    Camden Property Trust, a Houston-based real estate investment trust
("REIT"), and its subsidiaries ("Camden" or the "Company") report as a single
business segment with activities related to the ownership, development,
acquisition, management, marketing and disposition of multifamily apartment
communities in the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest regions of the United
States. As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned interests in and operated
100 multifamily properties (the "Operating Properties") containing 34,669 units
located in Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Arizona and Kentucky.
These properties had a weighted average occupancy rate of 94.0% for the year
ended December 31, 1997. Six of the Company's multifamily properties containing
2,343 apartment units were under development (the "Development Properties") at
December 31, 1997. The Company has several additional sites which it intends to
develop into multifamily apartment communities (collectively with the Operating
Properties and the Development Properties, the "Camden Properties").
Additionally, the Company managed 4,163 apartment units in 14 properties for
third-parties and non-consolidated affiliates at December 31, 1997.

    On April 15, 1997, the Company acquired through a tax-free merger Paragon
Group, Inc. ("Paragon"), a Dallas-based multifamily REIT. The acquisition
increased the size of the Company's portfolio from 53 to 103 multifamily
properties (after combining the operations of seven of the acquired properties
with adjacent properties), and from 19,389 to 35,364 apartment units at the
date of acquisition (the "Paragon Acquisition"). As provided in the Plan of
Merger dated December 16, 1996, each share of Paragon common stock outstanding
on April 15, 1997 was exchanged for 0.64 shares of the Company's common shares
(based on a share price of $17.75 per share of Paragon common stock and $27.75
per share of Camden common shares). The Company issued 9,466,346 shares in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Paragon common stock. Subsequent
to the Paragon Acquisition, 2,352,161 limited partnership units ("OP Units") in
Camden Operating, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") were outstanding.
Approximately $296 million of Paragon debt, at fair value, was assumed in the
Paragon Acquisition.

    On December 16, 1997, the Company announced the execution of a definitive
merger agreement pursuant to which Oasis Residential, Inc. ("Oasis") would be
merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden. Upon consummation of
the merger, the Company will own interests in 52,469 apartment units (including
2,683 apartment units currently under development) with approximately $2.3
billion in total assets. Each share of Oasis common stock will be exchanged for
0.759 shares of Camden. Each share of Oasis Series A cumulative convertible
preferred stock (the "Oasis Preferred Stock") outstanding will be reissued as
Camden Series A cumulative convertible preferred shares with comparable terms
and conditions as previously existed with respect to the Oasis Preferred Stock.

    Oasis is a fully integrated REIT headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada whose
business is the operation and development of multifamily apartment communities
in Las Vegas, Denver and Southern California. Oasis is a self-administered and
self-managed REIT that, as of December 31, 1997, owned interests in 52
completed multifamily properties, with one additional multifamily property
under construction.

    The merger with Oasis has been structured as a tax-free transaction and
will be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. The merger is subject to
the approval of both companies' shareholders, customary regulatory approvals
and other conditions. It is anticipated that the meetings to consider the
transaction and the completion of the merger will both take place during the
second quarter of 1998. Following the closing of the merger with Oasis, the
Company intends to spin-off approximately 5,000 of the Las Vegas apartment
units into a new private entity in which Camden will hold a minority interest.
Camden expects to continue to provide property management services for these
assets following the spin-off. There can be no assurance, however, as to the
terms and conditions of the spin-off or that the transaction will ultimately be
consummated.

    At December 31, 1997, the Company employed 1,180 persons approximately 105
of whom were located at the Company's headquarters and 1,075 of whom were
"on-site" or in regional operating offices. The Company's headquarters are
located at 3200 Southwest Freeway, Suite 1500, Houston, Texas 77027 and its
telephone number is (713) 964-3555.

OPERATING STRATEGY

    Management believes that producing consistent earnings growth and
developing a strategy for selective investment in favorable markets are crucial
factors to Camden's success. Camden relies heavily on its sophisticated
property management capabilities and innovative operating strategies in its
efforts to produce consistent earnings growth.

    Sophisticated Property Management. Management believes the depth of its
organization enables Camden to deliver quality services, thereby promoting
resident satisfaction and improving resident retention, which reduces operating
expenses. Camden manages the Camden Properties utilizing its staff of
professionals and support personnel, including certified property managers,
experienced apartment managers and leasing agents, and trained apartment
maintenance technicians. All on-site personnel are trained to deliver high
quality services to their residents. Camden attempts to motivate on-site
employees through incentive compensation arrangements based upon the net
operating income produced at their property, as well as rental rate increases
and the level of lease renewals achieved.

    Innovative Operating Strategies. Management believes an intense focus on
operations is necessary to realize consistent, sustained earnings growth.
Ensuring resident satisfaction, increasing rents as market conditions allow,
maximizing rent collections, maintaining property occupancy at optimal levels
and controlling operating costs comprise Camden's principal strategies to
maximize property net operating income. Lease terms are generally staggered
based on vacancy exposure by apartment type so that lease expirations are
better matched to each property's seasonal rental patterns. Camden offers
leases ranging from six to thirteen months, with individual property marketing
plans structured to respond to local market conditions. In addition, Camden
conducts ongoing customer service surveys to ensure timely responsiveness to
changing resident needs and the highest level of resident satisfaction.

    Acquisitions and Dispositions. Camden believes it is well positioned in its
markets with the expertise to take advantage of both acquisition and
development opportunities. This dual capability, combined with what management
believes is a conservative financial structure, affords Camden the ability to
concentrate its growth efforts towards selective acquisition opportunities and
development alternatives.

    Several of Camden's core markets are targeted by Camden for continued
acquisitions during 1998. Camden plans to continue diversification of its
investments within its core markets, both geographically and in terms of the
number of units and selection of amenities offered. Camden's portfolio consists
primarily of properties which are 10 to 15 years old. Camden's Operating
Properties have an average age of ten years (calculated on a basis of
investment dollars). Camden believes its demonstrated ability to make physical
improvements to acquired properties, such as new or enhanced landscaping
design, new or upgraded amenities and redesigned building structures, coupled
with a strong focus on property management and marketing, has resulted in
attractive yields on the acquired Camden Properties.

    To generate consistent earnings growth, Camden seeks to selectively dispose
of properties and redeploy capital if management determines a property cannot
meet long-term earnings growth expectations. In December 1997, Camden disposed
of five properties containing 1,592 units. The net proceeds of $36.0 million
from the property dispositions were reinvested in developments and used to
retire debt.

    New Development. Selective development of new apartment properties in
Camden's core markets will continue to be important to the growth of Camden's
portfolio for the next several years. Camden uses experienced on-site
construction superintendents, operating under the supervision of project
managers and senior management, to control the construction process. All
development decisions are made from the corporate office. Risks inherent to
developing real estate include zoning changes and environmental matters. There
is also the risk that certain assumptions concerning economic conditions may
change during the development process. Management believes that it understands
and effectively manages the risks associated with development and that the
risks of new development are justified by higher potential yields.

    Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state, and local
environmental laws, regulations and ordinances, a current or previous owner or
operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous
or toxic substances, petroleum product releases or ACMs at such property and
may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property
damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in
connection with the contamination. The costs of investigation, remediation or
removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such
substances, or the failure to properly remediate the contamination on such
property, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or



                                       3
<PAGE>   4



rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. Persons who
arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at a
disposal or treatment facility also may be liable for the costs of remediation
or removal of a release of hazardous or toxic substances at or from such
facility whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person. In
addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in
favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the
contamination. Finally, the owner of a site may be subject to common law claims
by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental
contamination emanating from a site.

    In connection with its acquisitions of properties, the Company's practice
is to obtain Phase I and, if necessary, Phase II environmental assessments.
These Phase I assessments have been carried out in accordance with accepted
industry practices. The Company has also conducted limited subsurface
investigations and tested for radon and lead-based paint where such procedures
have been recommended by the consultants.

    Insurance. The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended
coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to all of its properties, with
policy specifications, insured limits and deductibles customarily carried for
similar properties, and carries similar insurance with respect to any
undeveloped parcels (with such exceptions as are appropriate given the
undeveloped nature of such properties).

FINANCIAL STRATEGY

    Financial Structure. The Company intends to continue maintaining what
management believes to be a conservative capital structure by: (i) targeting a
ratio of total debt to total market capitalization of less than 50%; (ii)
extending and sequencing the maturity dates of its debt where possible; (iii)
managing interest rate exposure using fixed rate debt and hedging, where
appropriate; (iv) borrowing on an unsecured basis; (v) maintaining a
substantial number of unencumbered assets; and (vi) maintaining a conservative
debt service coverage ratio.

    On July 21, 1997, the Company completed the public sale and issuance of
4,830,000 common shares, including 630,000 shares issued to the underwriters to
satisfy over-allotments (the "July 1997 Equity Offering"), at a price of $31
per share. The shares were issued from the Company's recently filed $500
million universal shelf registration statement discussed in "Liquidity" below.
Net proceeds from the July 1997 Equity Offering were used to retire certain
secured indebtedness assumed in the Paragon Acquisition and to reduce amounts
outstanding under the $150 million unsecured line of credit (the "Unsecured
Credit Facility") which had been advanced to fund recent property developments,
acquisitions and other working capital requirements.

    Camden has maintained on a quarterly basis a financial structure with no
more than 40% total debt to total market capitalization since its initial
public offering (the "Camden IPO") in July 1993. At December 31, 1997, the
Company's ratio of total debt to total market capitalization was approximately
31.0% (based on the closing price of $31 per common share of the Company on the
New York Stock Exchange composite tape on December 31, 1997). This ratio
represents total consolidated debt of the Company as a percentage of the market
value of the Company's common shares (including common shares issuable upon
conversion of convertible securities and OP Units, but excluding common shares
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options) plus total consolidated debt
(excluding the convertible securities). The interest coverage ratio was 4.0
times for the fourth quarter of 1997 and 3.6 times and 3.2 times for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1997 and 
1996, 78.9% and 84.3%, respectively, of the Company's properties (based on 
invested capital) were unencumbered.

    Liquidity. The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements through cash flows provided by operations, the Unsecured Credit
Facility and other short-term borrowings. The Company uses equity capital and
senior unsecured debt to refinance maturing secured debt and borrowings under
its Unsecured Credit Facility and other short-term borrowings. As of December
31, 1997, the Company had $107 million available under the Unsecured Credit
Facility. The Company filed a universal shelf registration statement in April
1997 providing for the issuance of up to $500 million in equity, debt,
preferred or convertible securities, of which, over $275 million remains
unused. Additionally, in March 1997 the Company implemented a $196 million
medium-term note program used to provide intermediate and long-term, unsecured
publicly-traded debt financing, of which $171 million remains unused. Finally,
the Company has significant unencumbered real estate assets which could be sold
or used as collateral for financing purposes should other sources of capital
not be available. The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be
sufficient, and expects to be able to meet future operating cash requirements
and to pay distributions to shareholders and holders of OP Units.



                                       4
<PAGE>   5



    On January 16, 1998, the Company paid a distribution of $0.49 per share for
the fourth quarter of 1997 to all holders of record of Camden's common shares
as of December 24, 1997, and paid an equivalent amount per unit to holders of
OP Units. Total distributions to common shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 1997 were $1.96 per share. Total distributions to holders of OP
Units from the date of the Paragon Acquisition through December 31, 1997 were
$1.47 per unit. The Company determines the amount of cash available for
distribution from the Operating Partnership in accordance with the partnership
agreement and has distributed and intends to continue to make distributions to
the holders of OP Units in amounts equivalent to the per share dividends paid
to holders of common shares. The Company intends to continue shareholder
distributions in accordance with REIT qualification requirements under the
federal tax code while maintaining what management believes to be a
conservative payout ratio, and expects to continue reducing the payout ratio by
raising the dividends at a rate which is less than the funds from operations
("FFO") growth rate.

    Financial Flexibility. The Company concentrates its growth efforts toward
selective development and acquisition opportunities in its core markets, and
through the acquisition of existing operating portfolios and development
properties in selected new markets. During 1997, the Company incurred $91.2
million in development costs and $45.8 million in acquisition costs. In
addition, Camden issued 9.5 million common shares and assumed $296 million of
indebtedness, at fair value, to purchase Paragon. The Company has announced
plans to develop six additional properties at an aggregate cost of
approximately $142 million. The Company funds its developments and acquisitions
through a combination of equity capital, OP Units, debt securities, the
Unsecured Credit Facility and other short-term borrowing arrangements, and
previously has used construction and other mortgage loans. The Company also
seeks to selectively dispose of assets that are not in core markets, have a
lower projected net operating income growth rate than the overall portfolio, or
no longer conform to the Company's operating and investment strategies. The
$36.0 million in net proceeds received from these asset disposals during 1997
were reinvested in developments and used to retire debt.

    The Company's Unsecured Credit Facility matures July 28, 2000. One year
prior to maturity, this note becomes a term loan, unless it is extended,
renegotiated or repaid. The scheduled interest rate on the loan is currently
based on LIBOR plus 105 basis points or Prime plus 25 basis points. This
scheduled rate is subject to change as the Company's credit ratings change.
Advances under the Unsecured Credit Facility may be priced at the scheduled
rate, or the Company may enter into bid rate loans ("Bid Rate Loans") with
participating banks at rates below the scheduled rate. These Bid Rate Loans
have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $75 million
or the remaining amount available under the Unsecured Credit Facility. The
Unsecured Credit Facility is subject to customary financial covenants and
limitations.

    As an alternative to its Unsecured Credit Facility, the Company from time
to time borrows using competitively bid unsecured short-term notes with lenders
who may or may not be a part of the Unsecured Credit Facility bank group. Such
borrowings vary in term and pricing and are typically priced at interest rates
below those available under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

    On May 9, 1997, the Company issued from its recently filed $500 million
universal shelf registration statement an aggregate principal amount of $75
million of its unsecured reset notes maturing May 2002 (the "Reset Notes").
During the one-year period ending May 11, 1998, the interest rate on the Reset
Notes, which will be reset quarterly, will equal 90-day LIBOR plus 32 basis
points and interest will be payable on a quarterly basis. After the one-year
period, the mode and duration of the interest rate on the Reset Notes will be
reset by the Company and a remarketing underwriter as either fixed or floating
and for durations of six months to four years. The Reset Notes are direct,
senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Reset Notes are
redeemable after May 11, 1998 at the option of the Company at par value. The
net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Reset Notes were $74.8
million. The Company used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness incurred
under the Unsecured Credit Facility which had been used to liquidate portions
of the debt assumed in the Paragon Acquisition.

    On June 20, 1997, the Company issued $25 million aggregate principal amount
of senior unsecured notes from its $196 million medium-term note shelf
registration. These fixed rate notes, due in June 2004, bear interest at the
annual rate of 7.172%, payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15. The
net proceeds were used to reduce indebtedness outstanding under short-term
unsecured notes.

    On July 21, 1997, Camden retired $66.7 million in mortgage loans using a
portion of the proceeds of the July 1997 Equity Offering. Including the debt
retirements made in conjunction with the July 1997 Equity Offering, the Company
has retired $160.8 million of the $296 million of debt assumed in the Paragon
Acquisition.



                                       5
<PAGE>   6


    At December 31, 1997, the Company maintained a $25 million interest rate
hedging agreement which is scheduled to mature in July 2000. The issuing bank
has an option to extend this agreement to July 2002. The LIBOR rate is fixed at
6.1%, resulting in a fixed rate equal to 6.1% plus the actual LIBOR spread on
the related indebtedness. This swap continues to be used as a hedge to manage
the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the Unsecured Credit Facility and
other floating rate indebtedness.

MARKETS AND COMPETITION

    Camden's portfolio consists of middle to upper market apartment properties.
Camden has expanded its portfolio since the Camden IPO through targeted
acquisitions and developments in selected high-growth markets. By combining
acquisition, renovation and development capabilities, management believes it is
able to better respond to changing conditions in each market, thereby reducing
market risk and allowing Camden to take advantage of opportunities as they
arise.

    At December 31, 1997, 51% of Camden's real estate assets were located in
Texas. Since the Camden IPO, the Company has diversified into other markets in
the Southwest region and into the Southeast and Midwest regions of the United
States. At the time of the Camden IPO, approximately 77% of the Camden
Properties (based on the number of units) were located in Houston. At December
31, 1997, after giving effect to the anticipated completion of the Development
Properties, 21% of the Camden Properties were located in Houston. The Company
intends to further diversify geographically into the Western region of the
United States through its planned merger with Oasis.

    There are numerous housing alternatives that compete with Camden's
Properties in attracting residents. Camden's Properties compete directly with
other multifamily properties and single family homes that are available for
rent in the markets in which Camden's Properties are located. Camden's
Properties also compete for residents with the new and existing owned-home
market. The demand for rental housing is driven by economic and demographic
trends. Recent trends in the economics of renting versus home ownership
indicate an increasing demand for rental housing in certain markets, despite
relatively low residential mortgage interest rates. Rental demand should be
strong in areas anticipated to experience in-migration, due to the younger ages
that characterize movers as well as the relatively high cost of home ownership
in higher growth areas. In addition, management believes that the accelerating
growth in the formation of non-traditional households, which tend to rent,
should increase the demand for apartments.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

THE PROPERTIES

    The Camden Properties typically consist of two- and three-story buildings
in a landscaped setting and provide residents with a variety of amenities. Most
of the Camden Properties have, or are expected to have, one or more swimming
pools and a clubhouse and many have whirlpool spas, tennis courts and
controlled-access gates. Many of the units offer additional features such as
fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, microwave ovens, covered parking, icemakers,
washers and dryers and ceiling fans. The Operating Properties' units average
798 square feet of living area.

OPERATING PROPERTIES

    For the year ended December 31, 1997, no single Operating Property
accounted for greater than 3.1% of the Company's total revenues. The Operating
Properties had an average occupancy rate of 94.0% in both 1997 and 1996.
Resident lease terms generally range from six to thirteen months and usually
require security deposits. Eighty-eight of the Operating Properties have in
excess of 200 units, with the largest having 832 units. Twenty of the Operating
Properties were constructed by the Company or its predecessors and placed in
service since 1992. Seven were placed in service between 1988 and 1992, 43 were
placed in service between 1983 and 1987, 18 were placed in service between 1978
and 1982, seven were placed in service between 1973 and 1977 and five were
placed in service between 1967 and 1972.

    The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company's
Operating Properties, excluding properties currently in lease-up, as of
December 31, 1997:

    Management believes that the Company possesses the development capabilities
and experience to provide a continuing source of portfolio growth. In making
development decisions, management considers a number of factors, including the
size of the property, the season in which leasing activity will occur and the
extent to which delivery of the completed units will coincide with leasing and
occupancy of such units (which is dependent upon local market conditions). In
order to pursue a development opportunity, the Company currently requires a
minimum initial stabilized target return of 10%-10.5%. This minimum target
return is based on current market rents and projected stabilized expenses,
considering the market and the nature of the prospective development.

*    Effective April 1, 1997 the Company acquired Paragon.

**   Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the performance of
an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. In addition, extraordinary or unusual items, along with significant
non-recurring events that materially distort the comparative measure of FFO are
typically disregarded in its calculation. Prior to March 1995 the NAREIT
definition of FFO required the add back of non-real estate depreciation and
amortization, such as loan cost amortization. Camden adopted the new FFO
definition prescribed by NAREIT during 1995. The Company's definition of FFO
also assumes conversion at the beginning of the period of all convertible
securities including minority interests which are convertible into common
equity. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding
of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be
examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated
financial statements and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not
defined by generally accepted accounting principles.  FFO should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a
measure of the Company's liquidity. Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may
not be comparable to the Company's calculation.

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

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
"Comparative Summary of Selected Financial and Property Data" and the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
report. Historical results and trends which might appear should not be taken as
indicative of future operations. The statements contained in this report that
are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results may differ
materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, the following: the proposed merger with Oasis Residential, Inc.
("Oasis"), changes in general economic conditions in the markets that could
impact demand for the Company's product, and changes in financial markets and
interest rates impacting the Company's ability to meet its financing needs and
obligations.

BUSINESS

     Camden Property Trust, a Houston-based real estate investment trust
("REIT"), and its subsidiaries ("Camden" or the "Company") report as a single
business segment, with activities related to the ownership, development,
acquisition, management, marketing and disposition of multifamily apartment
communities in the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest regions of the United
States. As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned interests in, operated or was
developing 106 multifamily properties containing 37,012 units located in Texas,
Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Arizona and Kentucky. These properties had a
weighted average occupancy rate of 94.0% for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Six of the Company's multifamily properties containing 2,343 units were under
development at December 31, 1997. The Company has several additional sites which
it intends to develop into multifamily apartment communities. Additionally, the
Company managed 4,163 apartment units in 14 properties for third-parties and
non-consolidated affiliates at December 31, 1997.

     On April 15, 1997, the Company acquired through a tax-free merger Paragon
Group, Inc. ("Paragon"), a Dallas-based multifamily REIT. The acquisition
increased the size of the Company's portfolio from 53 to 103 multifamily
properties (after combining the operations of seven of the acquired properties
with adjacent properties), and from 19,389 to 35,364 apartment units at the date
of acquisition (the "Paragon Acquisition"). As provided in the Plan of Merger
dated December 16, 1996, each share of Paragon common stock outstanding on April
15, 1997 was exchanged for 0.64 shares of the Company's common shares (based on
a share price of $17.75 per share of Paragon common stock and $27.75 per share
of Camden common shares). The Company issued 9,466,346 shares in exchange for
all of the outstanding shares of Paragon common stock. Subsequent to the Paragon
Acquisition, 2,352,161 limited partnership units ("OP Units") in Camden
Operating, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") were outstanding. Approximately
$296 million of Paragon debt, at fair value, was assumed in the Paragon
Acquisition.

     On December 16, 1997, the Company announced the execution of a definitive
merger agreement pursuant to which Oasis would be merged with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden. The merger will create the third largest
multifamily REIT with interests in 52,469 apartment units (including 2,683
apartment units currently under development) with approximately $2.3 billion in
total assets. Each share of Oasis common stock will be exchanged for 0.759
shares of Camden. Each share of Oasis Series A cumulative convertible preferred
stock (the "Oasis Preferred Stock") outstanding will be reissued as Camden
Series A cumulative convertible preferred shares with comparable terms and
conditions as previously existed with respect to the Oasis Preferred Stock.

     Oasis is a fully integrated REIT headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada whose
business is the operation and development of multifamily apartment communities
in Las Vegas, Denver and Southern California. Oasis is a self-administered and
self-managed REIT that, as of December 31, 1997, owned interests in 52 completed
multifamily properties, with one additional multifamily property under
construction.

     The merger with Oasis has been structured as a tax-free transaction and
will be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. The merger is subject to
the approval of both companies' shareholders, customary regulatory approvals and
other conditions. It is anticipated that the meetings to consider the
transaction and the completion of the merger will both take place during the
second quarter of 1998. Following the closing of the merger with Oasis, the
Company intends to spin-off approximately 5,000 of the Las Vegas apartment units
into a new private entity in which Camden will hold a minority interest. Camden
expects to continue to provide property management services for these assets
following the spin-off. There can be no assurance, however, as to the terms and
conditions of the spin-off or that the transaction will ultimately be
consummated.

      The Company intends to further diversify geographically into the Western
region of the United States through its planned merger with Oasis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Financial Structure. The Company intends to continue maintaining what
management believes to be a conservative capital structure by: (i) targeting a
ratio of total debt to total market capitalization of less than 50%; (ii)
extending and sequencing the maturity dates of its debt where possible; (iii)
managing interest rate exposure using fixed rate debt and hedging, where
appropriate; (iv) borrowing on an unsecured basis; (v) maintaining a substantial
number of unencumbered assets; and (vi) maintaining a conservative debt service
coverage ratio.

      On July 21, 1997, the Company completed the public sale and issuance of
4,830,000 common shares, including 630,000 shares issued to the underwriters to
satisfy over-allotments (the "July 1997 Equity Offering"), at a price of $31 per
share. The shares were issued from the Company's recently filed $500 million
universal shelf registration statement discussed in "Liquidity" below. Net
proceeds from the July 1997 Equity Offering were used to retire certain secured
indebtedness assumed in the Paragon Acquisition and to reduce amounts
outstanding under the $150 million unsecured line of credit (the "Unsecured
Credit Facility") which had been advanced to fund recent property developments,
acquisitions and other working capital requirements.

      Camden has maintained on a quarterly basis a financial structure with no
more than 40% total debt to total market capitalization since the Camden IPO in
July 1993. At December 31, 1997, the Company's ratio of total debt to total
market capitalization was approximately 31.0% (based on the closing price of $31
per common share of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on
December 31, 1997). This ratio represents total consolidated debt of the Company
as a percentage of the market value of the Company's common shares (including
common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and OP Units,
but excluding common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options) plus
total consolidated debt (excluding the convertible securities). The interest
coverage ratio was 4.0 times for the fourth quarter of 1997 and 3.6 times and
3.2 times for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, 78.9% and 84.3%, respectively, of the Company's
properties (based on invested capital) were unencumbered.

      Liquidity. The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements through cash flows provided by operations, the Unsecured Credit
Facility and other short-term borrowings. The Company uses equity capital and
senior unsecured debt to refinance maturing secured debt and borrowings under
its Unsecured Credit Facility and other short-term borrowings. As of December
31, 1997, the Company had $107 million available under the Unsecured Credit
Facility. The Company filed a universal shelf registration statement in April
1997 providing for the issuance of up to $500 million in equity, debt, preferred
or convertible securities, of which, over $275 million remains unused.
Additionally, in March 1997 the Company implemented a $196 million medium-term
note program used to provide intermediate and long-term, unsecured
publicly-traded debt financing, of which $171 million remains unused. Finally,
the Company has significant unencumbered real estate assets which could be sold
or used as collateral for financing purposes should other sources of capital not
be available. The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be
sufficient, and expects to be able to meet future operating cash requirements
and to pay distributions to shareholders and holders of OP Units.

      On January 16, 1998, the Company paid a distribution of $0.49 per share
for the fourth quarter of 1997 to all holders of record of Camden's common
shares as of December 24, 1997, and paid an equivalent amount per unit to
holders of OP Units. Total distributions to common shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 1997 were $1.96 per share. Total distributions to holders of
OP Units from the date of the Paragon Acquisition through December 31, 1997 were
$1.47 per unit. The Company determines the amount of cash available for
distribution from the Operating Partnership in accordance with the partnership
agreement and has distributed and intends to continue to make distributions to
the holders of OP Units in amounts equivalent to the per share dividends paid to
holders of common shares. The Company intends to continue shareholder
distributions in accordance with REIT qualification requirements under the
federal tax code while maintaining what management believes to be a conservative
payout ratio, and expects to continue reducing the payout ratio by raising the
dividends at a rate which is less than the funds from operations ("FFO") growth
rate.

      Financial Flexibility. The Company concentrates its growth efforts toward
selective development and acquisition opportunities in its core markets, and
through the acquisition of existing operating portfolios and development
properties in selected new markets. During 1997, the Company incurred $91.2
million in development costs and $45.8 million in acquisition costs. In
addition, Camden issued 9.5 million common shares and assumed $296 million of
indebtedness, at fair value, to purchase Paragon. The Company has announced
plans to develop six additional properties at an aggregate cost of approximately
$142 million. The Company funds its developments and acquisitions through a
combination of equity capital, OP Units, debt securities, the Unsecured Credit
Facility and other short-term borrowing arrangements, and previously has used
construction and other mortgage loans. The Company also seeks to selectively
dispose of assets that are not in core markets, have a lower projected net
operating income growth rate than the overall portfolio, or no longer conform to
the Company's operating and investment strategies. The $36.0 million in net
proceeds received from these asset disposals during 1997 were reinvested in
developments and used to retire debt.

      The Company's Unsecured Credit Facility matures July 28, 2000. One year
prior to maturity, this note becomes a term loan, unless it is extended,
renegotiated or repaid. The scheduled interest rate on the loan is currently
based on LIBOR plus 105 basis points or Prime plus 25 basis points. This
scheduled rate is subject to change as the Company's credit ratings change.
Advances under the Unsecured Credit Facility may be priced at the scheduled
rate, or the Company may enter into bid rate loans ("Bid Rate Loans") with
participating banks at rates below the scheduled rate. These Bid Rate Loans have
terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $75 million or the
remaining amount available under the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Unsecured
Credit Facility is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations.

      As an alternative to its Unsecured Credit Facility, the Company from time
to time borrows using competitively bid unsecured short-term notes with lenders
who may or may not be a part of the Unsecured Credit Facility bank group. Such
borrowings vary in term and pricing and are typically priced at interest rates
below those available under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

      On May 9, 1997, the Company issued from its recently filed $500 million
universal shelf registration statement an aggregate principal amount of $75
million of its unsecured reset notes maturing May 2002 (the "Reset Notes").
During the one-year period ending May 11, 1998, the interest rate on the Reset
Notes, which will be reset quarterly, will equal 90-day LIBOR plus 32 basis
points and interest will be payable on a quarterly basis. After the one-year
period, the mode and duration of the interest rate on the Reset Notes will be
reset by the Company and a remarketing underwriter as either fixed or floating
and for durations of six months to four years. The Reset Notes are direct,
senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Reset Notes are
redeemable after May 11, 1998 at the option of the Company at par value. The net
proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Reset Notes were $74.8 million. The
Company used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness incurred under the
Unsecured Credit Facility which had been used to liquidate portions of the debt
assumed in the Paragon Acquisition.

      On June 20, 1997, the Company issued $25 million aggregate principal
amount of senior unsecured notes from its $196 million medium-term note shelf
registration. These fixed rate notes, due in June 2004, bear interest at the
annual rate of 7.172%, payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15. The
net proceeds were used to reduce indebtedness outstanding under short-term
unsecured notes.

      On July 21, 1997, Camden retired $66.7 million in mortgage loans using a
portion of the proceeds of the July 1997 Equity Offering. Including the debt
retirements made in conjunction with the July 1997 Equity Offering, the Company
has retired $160.8 million of the $296 million of debt assumed in the Paragon
Acquisition.

      At December 31, 1997, the Company maintained a $25 million interest rate
hedging agreement which is scheduled to mature in July 2000. The issuing bank
has an option to extend this agreement to July 2002. The LIBOR rate is fixed at
6.1%, resulting in a fixed rate equal to 6.1% plus the actual LIBOR spread on
the related indebtedness. This swap continues to be used as a hedge to manage
the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the Unsecured Credit Facility and
other floating rate indebtedness.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

      Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an
equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. In addition, extraordinary or unusual items, along with significant
non-recurring events that materially distort the comparative measure of FFO are
typically disregarded in its calculation. The Company's definition of FFO also
assumes conversion at the beginning of the period of all convertible securities
including minority interests which are convertible into common equity.



                                       18

     The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of
the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be
examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated
financial statements and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not
defined by generally accepted accounting principles. FFO should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a
measure of the Company's liquidity. Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may
not be comparable to the Company's calculation. Camden's FFO for the year ended
December 31,1997 increased $35.8 million over 1996 primarily due to the Paragon
Acquisition, property acquisitions, developments and improvements in the
performance of the stabilized properties in the portfolio. The calculation of
FFO for the two years ended December 31, 1997 follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Changes in revenues and expenses related to the operating properties
from period to period are primarily due to the Paragon Acquisition, property
acquisitions, developments, dispositions and improvements in the performance of
the stabilized properties in the portfolio. Where appropriate, comparisons are
made on a dollars-per-weighted-average-units basis in order to adjust for such
changes in the number of units owned during each period. Selected weighted
average revenues and expenses per operating unit for the three years ended
December 31, 1997 are as follows:

</TABLE>

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

      The changes in operating results from 1996 to 1997 are primarily due to
the Paragon Acquisition, development of ten properties aggregating 3,823 units,
and an increase in net operating income generated by the stabilized portfolio.
The weighted average number of units increased by 11,918 units, or 68.6%, from
17,362 to 29,280 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Total operating properties were 48 and 97 at December 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The 29,280 weighted average units and the 97 operating properties
exclude the impact of the Company's ownership interest in 1,264 units on three
properties owned in joint ventures.

      The average rental income per unit increased $27, or 5.3%, from $508 to
$535 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The increase
was primarily due to increased revenue growth from the stabilized real estate
portfolio, higher average rental rates on properties added to the portfolio
through the Paragon Acquisition and completion of new development properties.



                                       19
<PAGE>   20





    Other property income increased $5.1 million from $4.5 million to $9.5
million for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. This
increase was due to a larger number of units owned and in operation and a $2.2
million increase from new revenue sources such as telephone, cable and water.

    Property operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes increased
$37.8 million, from $53.8 million to $91.6 million for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, which represented an annual increase of $30
per unit. The Company's operating expense ratios decreased from the prior year
primarily as a result of operating efficiencies resulting from a larger
portfolio together with savings in utilities and other costs. Real estate taxes
increased as a result of the Paragon Acquisition, increases in valuations of
renovated and developed properties and increases in property tax rates. Real 
estate taxes per unit have decreased due to lower property taxes in the Camden
portfolio outside of Texas. 

    General and administrative expenses increased from $2.6 million in 1996 to
$4.5 million in 1997, and decreased slightly as a percent of revenues from 2.4%
to 2.2%.

    Interest expense increased from $17.3 million in 1996 to $28.5 million in
1997 due to increased indebtedness related to the Paragon Acquisition,
completed developments and renovations. This increase was partially offset by
reductions in average interest rates on the Company's debt and the July 1997
Equity Offering discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.
Interest capitalized was $3.3 million and $4.1 million for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

    Depreciation and amortization increased from $23.9 million to $44.8 million
primarily due to the Paragon Acquisition, developments and renovations.

    Gain on sales of properties increased $10.2 million due to the December
1997 disposition of five properties containing 1,592 units.

1996 COMPARED TO 1995

    The changes in operating results from 1995 to 1996 are due to completion of
the development of four properties aggregating 1,688 units, the acquisition of
an adjoining property containing 400 units, the disposition of five properties
containing 1,219 units and an increase in revenues generated by the stabilized
portfolio. The weighted average number of units increased by 950 units, or
5.8%, from 16,412 to 17,362 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. Total units owned and operating were 16,742 and 17,611 at
December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

    The average rental income increased $39 per unit per month, or 8.3%, from
$469 to $508 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The
increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue growth from the stabilized
real estate portfolio, higher than average rental rates achieved on properties
added to the portfolio, and overall increases in average occupancy from 93.3% in
1995 to 94.0% in 1996.

    Other property income increased $800,000 from $3.6 million to $4.5 million
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  This 23.1%
increase was due to a larger number of units owned and in operation.

    Property operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes increased
$5.2 million, from $48.6 million to $53.8 million for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1996 respectively, which represented an annual increase of $139
per unit. The Company's operating expense ratios decreased from the prior year
primarily as a result of the change in the property mix due to development and
property dispositions. Real estate taxes increased as a result of increases in
valuation of renovated and developed properties and increases in property tax
rates.

    General and administrative expenses increased from $2.3 million in 1995 to
$2.6 million in 1996, a rate consistent with the overall increase in revenues.

                                      20

<PAGE>   21
    Interest expense increased from $13.8 million in 1995 to $17.3 million in
1996 due to increased indebtedness related to a property acquisition, completed
developments and renovations, partially offset by reductions in interest rates,
reductions in debt as a result of an equity offering in October 1996, the
conversion of convertible debentures and proceeds from dispositions.  Interest
capitalized was $5.3 million and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

    Depreciation and amortization increased from $20.3 million to $23.9 million
primarily due to developments and renovations partially offset by property
dispositions.

    During 1996, the Company utilized proceeds from the 6-5/8% and 7% notes
primarily to reduce indebtedness under its Unsecured Credit Facility.  In
connection with such reductions, the Company also early settled certain hedging
agreements and recorded a loss of $5.4 million.

INFLATION

    The Company leases apartments under lease terms generally ranging from six
to thirteen months. Management believes that such short-term lease contracts
lessen the impact of inflation due to the ability to adjust rental rates to
market levels as leases expire.

YEAR 2000 CONVERSION

    Camden has recognized the need to ensure that its systems, equipment and
operations will not be adversely impacted by the change to the calendar year
2000.  As such, the Company has taken steps to identify potential areas of risk
and has begun addressing these in its planning, purchasing and daily
operations.  The total cost of converting all internal systems, equipment and
operations to the year 2000 has not been fully quantified, but it is not
expected to be a material cost to Camden.  However, no estimates can be made as
to the potential adverse impact resulting from the failure of third party
service providers and vendors to prepare for the year 2000.  Camden is
attempting to identify those risks as well as to receive compliance
certificates from all third parties that have a material impact on Camden's
operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of Camden Property Trust

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Camden Property
Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and  related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997.  Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14.  These financial statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the management of
Camden Property Trust.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Camden Property Trust at December
31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, such
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS

    Camden Property Trust ("Camden" or the "Company") is a Houston-based
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT")
organized on May 25, 1993.  Camden and its subsidiaries report as a single
business segment, with activities related to the ownership, development,
acquisition, management, marketing and disposition of multifamily apartment
communities in the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest regions of the United
States.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned interests in, operated or
was developing 106 multifamily properties containing 37,012 units located in
Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Arizona and Kentucky. Six of the
Company's multifamily properties containing 2,343 units were under construction
at December 31, 1997. The Company has several additional sites which it intends
to develop into multifamily apartment communities.  Additionally, the Company
managed 4,163 apartment units in 14 properties for third-parties and
non-consolidated affiliates at December 31, 1997.

    Acquisition of Paragon Group, Inc.  On April 15, 1997, the Company acquired
through a tax-free merger Paragon Group, Inc. ("Paragon"), a Dallas-based
multifamily REIT.  The acquisition increased the size of the Company's
portfolio from 53 to 103 multifamily properties (after combining the operations
of seven of the acquired properties with adjacent properties), and from 19,389
to 35,364 apartment units at the date of acquisition (the "Paragon
Acquisition").  As provided in the Plan of Merger dated December 16, 1996, each
share of Paragon common stock outstanding on April 15, 1997 was exchanged for
0.64 shares of the Company's common shares (based on a share price of $17.75
per share of Paragon common stock and $27.75 per share of Camden common
shares).  The Company issued 9,466,346 shares in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of Paragon common stock.  Subsequent to the Paragon
Acquisition, 2,352,161 limited partnership units ("OP Units") in Camden
Operating, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") were outstanding.  Approximately
$296 million of Paragon debt, at fair value, was assumed in the Paragon
acquisition.

    The Paragon Acquisition has been recorded under the purchase method of
accounting.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values. No goodwill was recorded in this transaction.  The
accompanying consolidated statements of operations include the operating
results of Paragon since April 1, 1997, the effective date of the Paragon
Acquisition for accounting purposes.  Pro forma unaudited consolidated
operating results of the Company for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, assuming that the Paragon Acquisition had been made as of January 1,
1996, are summarized below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

    The non-residential operations of Paragon Group Property Services, Inc., a
Paragon affiliate which was sold on June 30, 1996, and the related gain from
the sale have been adjusted out of the 1996 pro forma amounts.  These pro forma
results have been prepared for informational purposes only and do not purport
to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have
resulted had the Paragon Acquisition been completed on the date indicated, nor
are they necessarily indicative of future operations.

    Acquisition of Oasis Residential, Inc.  On December 16, 1997, the Company
announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which
Oasis Residential, Inc. ("Oasis") would be merged with and into a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Camden expanding the Company's geographic focus in 1998 to
include the Western region of the United States.  Each share of Oasis will be
exchanged for 0.759 shares of Camden.  Each share of Oasis Series A cumulative
convertible preferred stock (the "Oasis Preferred Stock") outstanding will be
reissued as Camden Series A cumulative convertible preferred shares with
comparable terms and conditions as previously existed with respect to the Oasis
Preferred Stock.  The merger has been structured as a tax-free transaction and
will be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.  The merger is subject
to the approval of both companies' shareholders, customary regulatory





                                       32
<PAGE>   33
approvals and other conditions.  It is anticipated that the meetings to
consider the transaction and the completion of the merger will both take place
during the second quarter of 1998.  Following the closing of the merger with
Oasis, the Company intends to spin-off approximately 5,000 of the Las Vegas
apartment units into a new private entity in which Camden will hold a minority
interest.  Camden expects to continue to provide property management services
for these assets following the spin-off.  There can be no assurance, however,
as to the terms and conditions of the spin-off or that the transaction will
ultimately be consummated.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of
Camden include the assets, liabilities, and operations of the parent company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships in which its aggregate
ownership is greater than 50%.  Those owned less than 50% are accounted for
using the equity method.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, results of operations during the reporting periods and related
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Operating Partnership. Camden owns the assets acquired from Paragon,
comprising approximately 45.0% of Camden's multifamily apartment units at
December 31, 1997, in the Operating Partnership in which Camden holds 79.1% of
the OP Units, and the sole 1% general partner interest. The remaining 19.9% of
the Operating Partnership interests are held by former officers, directors and
investors in Paragon, who collectively owned 2,346,640 OP Units at December 31,
1997.  Minority interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
relate to holders of these OP Units.  Each OP Unit is redeemable for one common
share of Camden or cash at the election of the Company. Holders of OP Units are
not entitled to rights as shareholders of the Company prior to redemption of
their OP Units.  No member of the Company's management team owns OP Units and
only two of the seven Trust Managers of the Company own OP Units.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents. All cash and investments in money market
accounts and other securities with a maturity of three months or less, at the
time of purchase, are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

    Restricted Cash. Restricted cash mainly consists of escrow deposits held by
lenders for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves. Substantially
all restricted cash is invested in short-term securities.

    Real Estate Assets, at Cost. Real estate assets are carried at cost plus
capitalized carrying charges. Expenditures directly related to the development,
acquisition, and improvement of real estate assets are capitalized at cost as
land, buildings and improvements. All construction and carrying costs are
capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in "Projects under development,
including land" until such units are completed. Upon completion of each
building of the project, the total cost of that building and the associated
land is transferred to "Land" and "Buildings and improvements" and the assets
are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line
method of depreciation. Upon achieving 90% occupancy, or one year from opening
the leasing office, whichever occurs first, all units are considered operating
and the Company begins expensing all items that were previously considered as
carrying costs.

    The Company expenses recurring capital expenditures for items such as
carpets, appliances and HVAC units as these items are replaced in their normal
course. During a renovation, many of these items may be capitalized,
particularly to the extent that an inordinate number of such items are
replaced. Non-recurring capital expenditures for such items as roof
replacements are capitalized. The Company capitalized $13.3  million in 1997
and $9.6 million in 1996 of non- recurring renovations and improvements to
extend the economic lives and enhance its multifamily properties.

    Carrying charges, principally interest and ad valorem taxes, of land under
development and buildings under construction are capitalized as part of
projects under development and buildings and improvements to the extent that
such charges do not cause the carrying value of the asset to exceed its net
realizable value. Capitalized interest was $3.3 million in 1997, $4.1 million
in 1996 and $5.3 million in 1995. Capitalized ad valorem taxes were $557,000 in
1997, $617,000 in 1996 and $551,000 in 1995.





                                       33
<PAGE>   34
    All buildings and improvements are depreciated over their remaining
estimated useful lives of 10 to 35 years using the straight line method.
Subsequent expenditures for furnishings, equipment and other normal recurring
items are expensed as incurred. Capital improvements subsequent to the initial
renovation period are depreciated over their expected useful lives of 3 to 15
years using the straight line method.

    Deferred Financing and Other Assets, Net. Deferred financing and other
assets are amortized ($881,000 in 1997, $838,000 in 1996, and $871,000 in 1995)
over the terms of the related debt or lives of the asset on the straight line
method. Leasehold improvements and equipment are depreciated on the straight
line method over the shorter of the expected useful lives or the lease terms
which range from 3 to 10 years. Accumulated depreciation and amortization was
$2.9 million in 1997 and $1.8 million in 1996 for deferred financing, other
assets, leasehold improvements and equipment.

    Interest Rate Swap Agreements. The differential to be paid or received on
interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and is
recognized over the life of the agreements as an increase or decrease in
interest expense.  The Company does not use these instruments for trading
purposes, rather it uses them to hedge the impact of interest rate 
fluctuations on floating rate debt.

    Income Recognition. Rental, other property income, interest and all other
sources of income are recognized as earned.

    Rental Operations. Camden owns and operates garden style multifamily
apartment units that are rented to residents on lease terms ranging from six to
thirteen months, with monthly payments due in advance. None of the properties
are subject to rent control or rent stabilization. Operations of apartment
properties acquired are recorded from the date of acquisition in accordance
with the purchase method of accounting. All operating expenses, excluding
depreciation, associated with occupied units for properties in the development
and leasing phase are expensed against revenues generated by those units as
they become occupied. In management's opinion, due to the number of tenants,
the type and diversity of submarkets in which the properties operate, and the
collection terms, there is no concentration of credit risk.

    Income Taxes and Distributions. Camden intends to maintain its election as
a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a result, the
Company generally will not be subject to federal taxation to the extent it
distributes 95% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and satisfies
certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes
has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

    Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes
principally due to the timing of the recognition of depreciation. Such
differences are primarily due to differences in the book/tax basis of the real
estate assets of $14.5 million and differences in methods of depreciation and
lives of the real estate assets. As a result of these differences, the book
basis of the Company's net real estate assets exceeds its tax basis by $85.0
million at December 31, 1997.  At December 31, 1996, the tax basis exceeded the
book basis by $37.1 million.

    Shareholders are taxed on distributions declared and must report such
distributions as either ordinary income, short-term gains, long-term gains, or
as return of capital.

    A schedule of per share distributions paid by the Company is set forth in
the following table:

    Property Operating and Maintenance Expenses. Property operating and
maintenance expenses included normal repairs and maintenance totaling $14.6
million in 1997, $8.3 million in 1996 and $7.3 million in 1995. In addition,
amounts incurred subsequent to the initial renovation and rehabilitation
periods for recurring expenditures such as carpets, appliances, and furnishings
and equipment which might otherwise be capitalized, totaled $5.5 million in
1997, $3.5 million in 1996 and $2.8 million in 1995 and were included in
expense.

    Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing
net income to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing
net income to common shareholders (as adjusted) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares.

    The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and
diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated, with 1996 and 1995 being
restated to conform with the requirements of the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, described below (in

    New Accounting Pronouncements.  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  SFAS No. 128, which was effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, specifies the computation, presentation
and disclosure requirements of earnings per share and supercedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 15.  SFAS No. 128 requires a dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share, which excludes
the impact of common share equivalents, replaces primary earnings per share.
Diluted earnings per share, which utilizes the average market price per share
as opposed to the greater of the average market price per share or ending
market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining
common share equivalents, replaces fully diluted earnings per share.

    In February 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure, which establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure.  SFAS No. 129 was effective
for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  The adoption of SFAS No. 129 did
not impact the Company's capital structure disclosures as the Company was
already in compliance with this SFAS.

    In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information.  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying
comprehensive income and its components.  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments and related information in interim and annual financial statements.
SFAS No. 131 will not  impact the Company's financial statements as it reports
as a single segment.  SFAS Nos. 130 and 131 are effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997.  Management is evaluating what, if any, additional
disclosures may be required upon the implementation of SFAS No. 130.

    The Company has a revolving $150 million unsecured line of credit (the
"Unsecured Credit Facility") which matures July 28, 2000.  One year prior to
maturity, this note becomes a term loan, unless it is extended, renegotiated or
repaid.  The scheduled interest rate on the loan is currently based on LIBOR
plus 105 basis points or Prime plus 25 basis points.  This scheduled rate is
subject to change as the Company's credit ratings change.  Advances under the
Unsecured Credit Facility may be priced at the scheduled rate, or the Company
may enter into bid rate loans ("Bid Rate Loans") with participating banks at
rates below the scheduled rate.  These Bid Rate Loans have terms of six months
or less and may not exceed the lesser of $75 million or the remaining amount
available under the Unsecured Credit Facility.  The Unsecured Credit Facility
is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations. As of December 31,
1997, the Company had $107 million available under its Unsecured Credit
Facility.  The weighted average balance outstanding on the Unsecured Credit
Facility during the year ended December 31, 1997 was $31.1 million with a
maximum outstanding balance of $119.5 million.

    During 1996, the Company utilized proceeds from the 6-5/8% and 7% notes
primarily to reduce indebtedness under its Unsecured Credit Facility.  In
connection with such reductions, the Company also early settled certain hedging
agreements and recorded a loss of $5.4 million.

    As an alternative to its Unsecured Credit Facility, the Company from time
to time borrows using competitively bid unsecured short-term notes with lenders
who may or may not be a part of the Unsecured Credit Facility bank group.  Such
borrowings vary in term and pricing and are typically priced at interest rates
below those available under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

    On May 9, 1997, the Company issued from its recently filed $500 million
universal shelf registration statement an aggregate principal amount of $75
million of its unsecured reset notes maturing May 2002 (the "Reset Notes").
During the one-year period ending May 11, 1998, the interest rate on the Reset
Notes, which will be reset quarterly, will equal 90-day LIBOR plus 32 basis
points and interest will be payable on a quarterly basis.  After the one-year
period, the mode and duration of the interest rate on the Reset Notes will be
reset by the Company and a remarketing underwriter as either fixed or floating
and for durations of six months to four years.  The Reset Notes are direct,
senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.  The Reset Notes are
redeemable after May 11, 1998 at the option of the Company at par value.  The
net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Reset Notes were $74.8
million.  The Company used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness incurred
under the Unsecured Credit Facility which had been used to liquidate portions
of the debt assumed in the Paragon Acquisition.

    On June 20, 1997, the Company issued $25 million aggregate principal amount
of senior unsecured notes from its $196 million medium-term note shelf
registration.  These fixed rate notes, due in June 2004, bear interest at the
annual rate of 7.172%, payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15.  The
net proceeds were used to reduce indebtedness outstanding under short-term
unsecured notes.

    On July 21, 1997, the Company completed the public sale and issuance of
4,830,000 common shares, including 630,000 shares issued to the underwriters to
satisfy over-allotments (the "July 1997 Equity Offering"), at a price of $31
per share.  The shares were issued from the Company's recently filed $500
million universal shelf registration statement.  Net proceeds from the July
1997 Equity Offering were used to retire certain secured indebtedness assumed
in the Paragon Acquisition and to reduce amounts outstanding under the
Unsecured Credit Facility which had been advanced to fund recent property
developments, acquisitions and other working capital requirements.  Had the
July 1997 Equity Offering been completed on the effective date of the Paragon
Acquisition, the interest expense on a pro forma basis would have been $21.3
million for the nine months ended December 31, 1997.  Net income to common
shareholders on a pro forma basis would have been $37.4 million for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the
nine months ended December 31, 1997 would have been $1.20 per share and $1.16
per share, respectively.

    On July 21, 1997, Camden retired $66.7 million in mortgage loans using a
portion of the proceeds of the July 1997 Equity Offering.  Including the debt
retirements made in conjunction with the July 1997 Equity Offering, the Company
has retired $160.8 million of the $296 million of debt assumed in the Paragon
Acquisition.

    At December 31, 1997, the Company maintained a $25 million interest rate
hedging agreement which is scheduled to mature in July 2000.  The issuing bank
has an option to extend this agreement to July 2002.  The LIBOR rate is fixed
at 6.1%, resulting in a fixed rate equal to 6.1% plus the actual LIBOR spread
on the related indebtedness.  This swap continues to be used as a hedge to
manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the Unsecured Credit Facility
and other floating rate indebtedness.

    At December 31, 1997, the weighted average interest rate on total notes
payable was 7.0%.

    Scheduled principal repayments on all loans outstanding at December 31,
1997 over the next five years are $4.7 million in 1998, $15.7 million in 1999,
$51.4 million in 2000, $102.3 million in 2001, $77.5 million in 2002 and $229.1
million thereafter.

4. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

    In April 1994, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount
of 7.33% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2001 (the "Debentures"). The
Debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity into common shares of
beneficial interest, $0.01 par value, of the Company at a conversion price of
$24 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The
Debentures will not be





                                       37
<PAGE>   38
redeemable by the Company prior to maturity, except in certain circumstances
intended to maintain the Company's status as a REIT. Interest on the Debentures
is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Debentures are unsecured
and subordinated to present and future senior debt and will be effectively
subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of the Company. As of December
31, 1997, $80.2 million in principal amount of the Debentures had been converted
to 3.3 million common shares. For the converted Debentures, the earned but
unpaid interest was forfeited by the Debenture holders in accordance with the
Indenture and the unpaid interest payable was credited to additional
paid-in-capital.  In addition, $3.2 million of unamortized Debenture issue costs
have been reclassified to additional paid-in-capital. Had all these converted
Debentures converted as of the beginning of the period, basic earnings per share
would have been $1.46, $0.62 and $0.86 per share for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Diluted earnings per share would have
been $1.41, $0.62 and $0.86 per share for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Deferred Debenture issue costs of $142,000 and
$855,000 remained outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
are being amortized over the life of the Debentures.

5.  INCENTIVE AND BENEFIT PLANS

    Incentive Plan. The Company has a non-compensatory option plan (the "Plan")
which was amended in the second quarter of 1997 by the Company's shareholders
and trust managers.  This amendment resulted in an increase in the maximum
number of common shares available for issuance under the Plan to 10% of the
common shares outstanding at any time.  Compensation awards that can be granted
under the Plan include various forms of incentive awards including incentive
share options, non-qualified share options and restricted share awards
("Incentive Awards"). The class of eligible persons that can receive grants of
Incentive Awards under the Plan consists of non-employee trust managers, key
employees, consultants, and directors of subsidiaries as determined by a
committee of the Board of Trust Managers (the "Committee") of the Company. No
Incentive Award may be granted after May 27, 2003.

    Following is a summary of the activity of the Plan for the three years ended
December 31, 1997:

</TABLE>

    Options are exercisable, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, in
increments of 33.33% per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the
date of grant. The Plan provides that the exercise price





                                       38
<PAGE>   39
of an option (other than non-employee trust manager options) will be determined
by the Committee on the day of grant and to date all options have been granted
at an exercise price which equals the fair market value on the date of grant.
Options exercised during 1997 were exercised at prices ranging from $22.00 to
$24.00 per share. At December 31,1997, options outstanding were at prices
ranging from $22.00 to $27.00 per share. Such options have a weighted average
remaining contractual life of seven years.

    In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.  SFAS No. 123 prescribes a fair value-based method of determining
compensation expense related to stock-based awards granted to employees or
associates.  The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 are optional; however,
entities electing not to adopt SFAS No.  123 are required to disclose in annual
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995
pro forma net income and earnings per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been
applied.  The Company elected not to adopt the recognition provisions of SFAS
No. 123, however, required disclosures are included below.

    The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 1997: risk-free interest rates ranging
from 6.3% to 6.9%, expected life of ten years, dividend yield of 6.3% and
expected share price volatility of 14.4%.  The weighted average fair value of
options granted in 1997 was $2.63 per share.

    If the Company applied the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to its
option grants, the Company's net income to common shareholders would have
decreased $57,000 in 1997 and both basic and diluted earnings per share would
have remained the same.

    The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 did not impact the Company in
1995 and 1996 due to the fact that the Company did not grant any option awards
from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1996. Furthermore, the effects of
applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future
amounts.

    Restricted shares have vesting periods of up to five years.  The
compensation cost for restricted shares has been appropriately recognized at
fair market value of the Company's shares in 1995, 1996 and 1997.

    Rabbi Trust. In February 1997 the Company established a rabbi trust
(the "Rabbi Trust"), in which salary and bonus amounts awarded to certain
officers under the recently established Key Employee Share Option Plan and
restricted shares awarded to certain officers may be deposited. The Company
accounts for the Rabbi Trust similar to a compensatory stock option plan. At
December 31, 1997, approximately 261,000 restricted shares were held in the
Rabbi Trust.

    401(k) Savings Plan. The Company has a 401(k) savings plan (the "Savings
Plan") which is a voluntary defined contribution plan. Under the Savings Plan,
every employee is eligible to participate beginning on the earlier of January 1
or July 1 following the date the employee has completed six months of
continuous service with the Company. Each participant may make contributions to
the Savings Plan by means of a pre-tax salary deferral which may not be less
than 1% nor more than 15% of the participant's compensation. The federal tax
code limits the annual amount of salary deferrals that may be made by any
participant. The Company may make matching contributions on the participant's
behalf.  A participant's salary deferral contribution will always be 100%
vested and nonforfeitable. A participant will become vested in the Company's
matching contributions 33.33% after one year of service, 66.67% after two years
of service and 100% after three or more years of service. Expenses under the
Savings Plan were not material.

    Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  In July 1997, the Company established and
commenced an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for all active employees,
officers, and trust managers who have completed one month of continuous
service.  Participants may elect to purchase Camden common shares through
payroll or director fee deductions and/or through quarterly contributions.  At
the end of each six-month offering period, each participant's account balance
is applied to acquire common shares on the open market at 85% of the market
value, as defined, on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever
price is lower.  A participant may not purchase more than $25,000 in value of
shares during any Plan Year, as defined.  On January 6, 1998, 17,143 shares
were purchased under the ESPP for the 1997 Plan Year.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    Camden Connection, Inc. ("CCI") (formerly Apartment Connection, Inc.) is a
nonqualified-REIT subsidiary.  CCI was established to act as a leasing agent
providing tenants for apartment owners in Houston, including properties owned
by the Company.  Locator fees paid by the Company to CCI were $79,000,
$136,000, and $195,000 for the years ended 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.
The Company made an unsecured working capital revolving line of credit
available to CCI, which was renewable annually.  The loan had a maximum
commitment of $1.2 million and earned interest at a fixed rate of 7.5% per
annum. During 1997, the operations of CCI were sold and the loan was paid off.
The loan's outstanding balance was $1.2 million at December 31, 1996.

    Two of the executive officers ("Executives") have loans totaling $1.8
million with one of the Company's nonqualified-REIT subsidiaries. The
Executives utilized amounts received from these loans to purchase common shares
of the Company.  The loans mature in 1999 and bear interest at the fixed rate
of 7.0%.  These loans are non-recourse, but are secured by a pledge of such
common shares, and do not require any prepayments of principal until maturity.

    During 1995, the Company formed TeleServe, Inc. (formerly Camden
Communications One, Inc.) doing business as CamTel ("CamTel").  CamTel is a
nonqualified-REIT subsidiary that was established to provide fiber optic,
central office switched telecommunications service to residents in the
Company's properties and third parties.  CamTel entered into operating
agreements with third parties during the fourth quarter of 1997 to provide
continuing services to CamTel's customers.  The Company had made a 7.0%
unsecured revolving line of credit available to CamTel, which had an
outstanding balance of $0 and $585,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

    In connection with the April 15, 1997 merger with Paragon, the Company
through one of the Company's affiliates, Camden Residential Services, Inc.,
began performing residential services for owners of 15 affiliated properties.
Management fees earned on the properties amounted to $279,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997. Although the management agreements were not the result
of arm's length negotiations, the Company believes that they were no more
favorable to the owners than the fees that would have been paid to unaffiliated
third parties under similar circumstances.

    Prior to 1997, the Company had management agreements in which the
Executives had 1% economic interests with respect to four properties. Fees
earned amounted to $428,000 and $441,000 for the years ended 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Although the management agreements were not the result of arm's
length negotiations, the Company believes that they were no more favorable to
the owners than the fees that would have been paid to unaffiliated third
parties under similar circumstances.

7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for
financial statement purposes.  Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.  Considerable judgment is necessary to
interpret market data and develop estimated fair values.  Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
Company could obtain on disposition of the financial instruments.  The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

    As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, management estimates that the fair value
of (i) cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and other liabilities and distributions payable are carried at amounts
which reasonably approximate their fair value; and (ii) based upon the
Company's effective borrowing rate for issuance of debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities, the carrying amounts of debt and related interest rate
swap agreements approximate fair value.

    The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to its interest rate swap agreements, but has no off-balance
sheet risk of loss.  The Company anticipates that its counterparties will fully
perform their obligations under the agreements.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    Construction Contracts. As of December 31, 1997, the Company was obligated
for approximately $19.8 million of additional expenditures (a substantial
amount of which is to be provided by debt).

    Lease Commitments. At December 31, 1997, Camden had long-term leases
covering certain land, office facilities and equipment. Rental expense totaled
$783,000 in 1997, $475,000 in 1996 and $476,000 in 1995. Minimum annual rental
commitments for the years ending December 31, 1998 through 2002 are $414,000,
$176,000, $173,000, $162,000 and $160,000, respectively, and $6 million in the
aggregate thereafter.

    Employment Agreements.  The Company has employment agreements with six of
its senior officers, the terms of which expire at various times through August
20, 1999.  Such agreements provide for minimum salary levels as well as various
incentive compensation arrangements, which are payable based on the attainment
of specific goals.  The agreements also provide for severance payments in the
event certain situations occur such as termination without cause or a change of
control.  The severance payments vary based on the officer's position and
amount to one times the current salary base for four of the officers and 2.99
times the average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years for
the two remaining officers.

    Contingencies. Camden is subject to various legal proceedings and claims
that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally
covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted
with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of
Camden.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In the ordinary course of its business, the Company issues letters of
intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for the purchase or sale of
multifamily properties or development land. In accordance with local real
estate market practice, such letters of intent are non-binding, and neither
party to the letter of intent is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and
until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive
contracts are entered into, the letters of intent and resulting contracts
contemplate that such contracts will provide the purchaser with periods varying
from 25 to 180 days during which it will evaluate the properties and conduct
its due diligence and during which periods the purchaser will have the ability
to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or
earnest money. There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be
entered into with respect to any properties covered by letters of intent or
that the Company will acquire or sell any property as to which the Company may
have entered into a definitive contract. Further, due diligence periods are
frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or sale becomes probable at the
time that the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not
been terminated. The Company is then at risk under an acquisition contract, but
only to the extent of any earnest money deposits associated with the contract,
and is obligated to sell under a sales contract.

    The Company is currently in the due diligence period for the purchase of
land for development and the  acquisition of properties. No assurance can be
made that the Company will be able to complete the negotiations or become
satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence.

    The Company seeks to selectively dispose of assets that are not in core
markets, have a lower projected net operating income growth rate than the
overall portfolio, or no longer conform to the Company's operating and
investment strategies.  The proceeds from these sales may be reinvested in
acquisitions or developments or used to retire debt.

                                   ARTICLE I

                                    OFFICES


         SECTION 1.1      PRINCIPAL OFFICE.  The principal office of the Trust
shall be in the City of Houston, Harris County, Texas, or at such other
location as the Trust Managers may from time to time determine.

         SECTION 1.2      OTHER OFFICES.  The Trust may also have offices at
such other places, both within and without the State of Texas, as the Trust
Managers may from time to time determine or the business of the Trust may
require.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

         SECTION 2.1      PLACE OF MEETINGS.  The Trust Managers may designate
any place, either within or without the State of Texas, as the place of meeting
for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the Trust Managers.
A waiver of notice signed by all shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting may
designate any place, either within or without the State of Texas, as the place
for the holding of such meeting.  If no designation is made, or if a special
meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal office
of the Trust.

         SECTION 2.2      ANNUAL MEETING.  The annual meeting of shareholders
shall be held at such time, on such day and at such place as may be designated
by the Trust Managers.  At the annual meeting, the Shareholders shall, subject
to Section 2.5 and Section 3.3 of these Bylaws, elect Trust Managers and
transact





                                       1
<PAGE>   6
such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.  Failure to
hold the annual meeting at the designated time shall not cause the dissolution
of the Trust.

         SECTION 2.3      SPECIAL MEETINGS.   Special meetings of the
shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by law or
by the Declaration of Trust, may be called by the Trust Managers, any officer
of the trust or the holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all of the shares
entitled to vote at the meetings.  Business transacted at all special meetings
shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the call.

         SECTION 2.4      NOTICE OF MEETINGS.  Written or printed notice of all
meetings of shareholders stating the place, day and hour thereof, and in the
case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called, shall be personally delivered or mailed, not less than ten (10) days
nor more than fifty (50) days prior to the date of the meeting, to the
shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed, such
notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States Mail
addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the share transfer
books of the Trust and the postage shall be prepaid.  Personal delivery of any
such notice to any officer of a corporation or association, or to any member of
a partnership, shall constitute delivery of such notice to such corporation,
association or partnership.

         SECTION 2.5      BUSINESS AT ANNUAL MEETING.  No business may be
transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, other than business that is
either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given
by or at the direction of the Trust Managers (or any duly authorized committee
thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the
direction of the Trust Managers (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or
(c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any shareholder of
the Trust (i)  who is a shareholder of record on the date of the giving of the
notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and on the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting, and (ii)
who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.5.





                                       2
<PAGE>   7
         In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be
properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder
must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary
of the Trust.  To be timely, a shareholder's notice to the Secretary must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal office of the Trust not
less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of
the applicable annual meeting of shareholders, provided, however, that in the
event that less than seventy (70) days' notice or prior public disclosure of
the date of the meeting be given or made, notice by the shareholder to be
timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth
(10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the applicable
annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of such annual
meeting was made, whichever first occurs.  For purposes of this Section 2.5,
the date of a public disclosure shall include, but not be limited to, the date
on which such disclosure is made in a press release reported by the Dow Jones
News Services, the Associated Press or any comparable news service or in a
document publicly filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) (or the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act").

         To be in proper written form, a shareholder's notice to the Secretary
must set forth as to each matter such shareholder proposes to bring before the
annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the
annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such shareholder, (iii) the
number of shares of the Trust that are owned beneficially or of record by such
shareholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between
such shareholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in
connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder and any
material interest of such shareholder in such business, and (v) a
representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at
the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.





                                       3
<PAGE>   8
         No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of shareholders
except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.5; provided, however, that, once
business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with
such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to preclude
discussion by any shareholder of any such business.  If the presiding officer
of an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before
the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the presiding
officer shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought
before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

         SECTION 2.6      VOTING LISTS.  The officer or agent having charge of
the share transfer books for shares of the Trust shall make, at least ten (10)
days before each meeting of the shareholders, a complete list of shareholders
entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in
alphabetical order, with the address of each and the number of shares held by
each, which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be
kept on file at the registered office of the Trust and shall be subject to
inspection by any shareholders at any time during usual business hours.  Such
list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting
and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder for the duration of
the meeting.  The original share transfer books shall be prima facie evidence
as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books
or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.  Failure to comply with this Section
2.6 with respect to any meeting of shareholders shall not affect the validity
of any action taken at such meeting.

         SECTION 2.7      QUORUM.  The holders of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business,
except as otherwise provided by law or by the Declaration of Trust.  If,
however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the
shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in
person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting
from time to





                                       4
<PAGE>   9
time without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall
be present or represented.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall
be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally convened.  The shareholders present at
a duly organized meeting at which a quorum was present may continue to transact
business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
shareholders to leave less than a quorum present, provided that there remain at
such meeting the holder or holders of at least one-third (1/3) of the shares
issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereof, present in person or
represented in the manner specified above.  A holder of a share shall be
treated as being present at a meeting if the holder of such share is (i)
present in person at the meeting, or (ii) represented at the meeting by a valid
proxy, whether the instrument granting such proxy is marked as casting a vote
or abstaining, is left blank or does not empower such proxy to vote with
respect to some or all matters to be voted upon at the meeting.

         SECTION 2.8      ORGANIZATION.  (a)  The Chairman of the Board, if one
shall be elected, shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders.  In the
absence of the Chairman of the Board or should one not be elected, the
following officers shall preside in order of priority:  President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice
President-Legal, or Secretary.  If no such officer is available, the meeting
shall be adjourned until such an officer is available to preside over the
meeting.  The presiding officer shall set the agenda for the meeting, shall
conduct all aspects of the meeting and shall establish and interpret the rules
of order for the conduct of the meeting.

         (b)     The Secretary of the Trust shall act as secretary at all
meetings of the shareholders.  In his absence an Assistant Secretary shall so
act and in the absence of all of these officers the presiding officer may
appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

         SECTION 2.9      PROXIES.  (a) At any meeting of the shareholders
every shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to vote in
person or by proxy executed in writing by such shareholder or by





                                       5
<PAGE>   10
his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Proxies shall be filed with the
Secretary or Trust Managers immediately after the meeting has been called to
order.

         (b)     No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date
of its execution unless such proxy otherwise provides.

         (c)     A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously
states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest
but in no event shall it remain irrevocable for a period of more than eleven
(11) months.  A proxy which is revocable as aforesaid may be revoked at any
time by filing with the Secretary an instrument revoking it or a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date.  Any revocable proxy which is not so revoked shall,
subject to paragraph (b) above, continue in full force and effect.

         (d)     In the event that any instrument in writing shall designate
two (2) or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of such persons present
at the meeting or, if only one shall be present, then that one, shall have and
may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written instrument upon all
the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide.

         SECTION 2.10     VOTING OF SHARES.  Except as otherwise provided by
law, the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, each shareholder shall be
entitled at each meeting of shareholders to one (1) vote on each matter
submitted to a vote at such meeting for each share having voting rights
registered in his name on the books of the Trust at the time of the closing of
the share transfer books (or at the record date) for such meeting.  When a
quorum is present at any meeting (and notwithstanding the subsequent withdrawal
of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum present) in accordance with
Section 2.7 of these Bylaws, the votes of holders of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall decide any
matter submitted to such meeting, unless the matter is one upon which by law or
by express provision of the Declaration of Trust or of these Bylaws the vote of
a greater number is required, in which case the vote of such greater number
shall govern and control the decision of such matter.  In determining the
number of shares entitled to vote, shares abstaining from voting or not voted
on a matter (including elections) will not be treated





                                       6
<PAGE>   11
as entitled to vote.  The provisions of this Section 2.10 will govern with
respect to all votes of shareholders except as otherwise provided for in these
Bylaws or in the Declaration of Trust or by some specific statutory provision
superseding the provisions contained in these Bylaws or the Declaration of
Trust.

         SECTION 2.11     VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS.  (a) Shares
standing in the name of another business organization may be voted by such
officer, agent or proxy as the organizational documents of such organization
may authorize or, in the absence of such authorization, as may be determined by
the governing body of such organization.

         (b)     Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or
conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a
transfer of such shares into his name so long as such shares forming a part of
an estate are in the possession and form a part of the estate being served by
him.  Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in
person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him
without a transfer of such shares into his name as trustee.

         (c)     Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by
such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so
is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.

         (d)     A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to
vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the
pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so
transferred.

         SECTION 2.12     ELECTION OF TRUST MANAGERS.  At each election for
Trust Managers, each shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall,
unless otherwise provided by the Declaration of Trust or by applicable law,
have the right to vote the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as
there are to be elected and for whose election he has a right to vote.  Unless
otherwise provided by the Declaration of Trust, no shareholder shall have the
right or be permitted to cumulate his votes on any basis.





                                       7
<PAGE>   12
         SECTION 2.13     TELEPHONE MEETINGS.  Shareholders may participate in
and hold a meeting of the shareholders by means of conference telephone or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to
this Section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where
a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to
the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

         SECTION 2.14     ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.  Any action required by any
provision of law or of the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws to be taken at
a meeting of the shareholders or any action which may be taken at a meeting of
the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders
entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, and such consent
shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the shareholders.

         SECTION 2.15     INSPECTORS AND VOTING PROCEDURES.

         (a)     The Trust shall, in advance of any meeting of shareholders,
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report
thereof.  The Trust may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors
to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate is
able to act at a meeting of shareholders, the person presiding at the meeting
shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  Each inspector,
before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and
according to the best of his ability.

         (b)     The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented
at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and
ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the
disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and
(v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the
meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots.  The inspectors may appoint
or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance
of the duties of the inspectors.





                                       8
<PAGE>   13
         (c)     The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for
each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a meeting shall be
announced at the meeting.  No ballots, proxies or votes, nor any revocations
thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the
closing of the polls unless a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon
application by a shareholder, shall determine otherwise.

         (d)     In determining the validity and counting of proxies and
ballots, the inspectors may examine and consider such records or factors as
allowed by the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act (the "Texas REIT Act").

                                  ARTICLE III

                                 TRUST MANAGERS

         SECTION 3.1      POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.  The business and
affairs of the Trust shall be managed under the direction of its Trust Managers
who may exercise all such powers of the Trust and do all such lawful acts and
things as are not by statute, the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws directed
or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.  The enumeration of
any specific power or authority herein shall not be construed as limiting the
aforesaid powers or the general powers or authority or any other specified
power or authority conferred herein upon the Trust Managers.  Among other
things, the Trust Managers shall be responsible for (a) supervising the Trust's
relations with the managers of the Trust's properties, (b) evaluating the
capability and performance of the managers of the Trust's properties, (c)
reviewing the Trust's investment policies, (d) determining that the fees and
expenses of the Trust are reasonable, (e) reviewing the aggregate borrowings of
the Trust, (f) authorizing the issuance of the capital stock of the Trust, (g)
approving the acquisition and disposition of real property and interests
therein, (h) ratifying the appointments of independent accountants for the
Trust, and (i) establishing and reviewing guidelines for leasing and management
of the Trust's properties.

         SECTION 3.2      NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION.  There shall at all times
be no less than two (2) nor more than ten (10) Trust Managers who shall be
elected annually by the shareholders.  Subject to any limitations





                                       9
<PAGE>   14
specified by law or in the Declaration of Trust, the number of Trust Managers
may be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the Trust
Managers.  No decrease in the number of Trust Managers shall have the effect of
shortening the term of any incumbent Trust Manager.  A majority of the Trust
Managers shall be natural persons.  Trust Managers need not be shareholders,
must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, must not be subject to any legal
disability and, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, need
not be residents of the State of Texas.

         SECTION 3.3      ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE.  The Trust Manager
nominees who have not been previously elected as Trust Managers by the
shareholders of the Trust shall be elected at the annual meeting of the
shareholders (except as provided in Section 3.7) by the affirmative vote of the
holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Trust.  Trust
Managers who have been previously elected as Trust Managers by the shareholders
of the Trust shall be re- elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Trust
present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting; provided, however,
that any Trust Manager that has been previously elected as a Trust Manager by
the shareholders who is not re-elected by such majority vote at a subsequent
annual meeting shall nevertheless remain in office until his successor is
elected and qualified.  Each Trust Manager shall hold office until his
successor is elected and qualified, or until his death, resignation or removal
in the manner provided in these Bylaws.

         SECTION 3.4      NOMINATION OF TRUST MANAGERS.  Only persons who are
nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for
election as Trust Managers of the Trust.  Nominations of persons for election
as Trust Managers may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders (a) by or
at the direction of the Trust Managers (or any duly authorized committee
thereof) or (b) by any shareholder of the Trust (i) who is a shareholder of
record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 3.4
and on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote
at such annual meeting, and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this Section 3.4.





                                       10
<PAGE>   15
         In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to
be made by a shareholder, such shareholder must have given timely notice
thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Trust.  To be timely, a
shareholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and
received at the principal offices of the Trust not less than sixty (60) days
nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the applicable annual
meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that less than
seventy (70) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting
is given or made, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received
not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day
on which such notice of the date of the applicable annual meeting was mailed or
such public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever
first occurs.  For purposes of this Section 3.4, the date of a public
disclosure shall include, but not be limited to, the date on which such
disclosure is made in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Services,
the Associated Press or any comparable national news service or in a document
publicly filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) (or the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder) of the Exchange Act.

         To be in proper written form, a shareholder's notice to the Secretary
must set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate
for election as a Trust Manager (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of

meeting to nominate the persons named in the notice, and (v) any other
information relating to such shareholder that would be required to be disclosed
in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of Trust Managers pursuant to Section 14
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  Such
notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to
being named as a nominee and to serve as a Trust Manager if elected.

         No person shall be eligible for election as a Trust Manager of the
Trust unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this

defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

         SECTION 3.5      RESIGNATION.  Any Trust Manager may resign at any
time by giving written notice to the remaining Trust Managers.  Such
resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, and unless
otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be
necessary to make it effective.  A Trust Manager judged incompetent or for whom
a guardian or conservator has been appointed, shall be deemed to have resigned
as of the date of such adjudication or appointment.

         SECTION 3.6      REMOVAL.  A Trust Manager may be removed at any time
with or without cause by the vote of holders of shares representing two-thirds
(2/3) of the total votes authorized to be cast by shares then outstanding and
entitled to vote thereon.  Upon the resignation or removal of any Trust
Manager, or his otherwise ceasing to be a Trust Manager, he shall execute and
deliver such documents as the remaining Trust Managers shall require for the
conveyance of any Trust property held in his name, shall account to the
remaining Trust Managers as they require for all property which he holds as
Trust Manager and shall thereupon be discharged as Trust Manager.  Upon the
incapacity or death of any Trust Manager, his legal representative shall
perform the acts set forth in the preceding sentence and the discharge
mentioned therein





                                       12
<PAGE>   17
shall run to such legal representative and to the incapacitated Trust Manager
or the estate of the deceased Trust Manager, as the case may be.

         SECTION 3.7      VACANCIES.  If any or all of the Trust Managers cease
to be Trust Managers hereunder, whether by reason of resignation, removal,
incapacity, death or otherwise, such event shall not terminate the Trust or
affect its continuity.  Until vacancies are filled, the remaining Trust Manager
or Trust Managers (even though fewer than three) may exercise the powers of the
Trust Managers hereunder.  Vacancies may be filled by successor Trust Managers
either appointed by a majority of the remaining Trust Managers or elected by
the vote of the holders of at least two- thirds of the outstanding shares at an
annual or special meeting of the shareholders.  Any Trust Manager elected to
fill a vacancy created by the resignation, removal, incapacity or death of a
former Trust Manager shall hold office for the unexpired term of such former
Trust Manager.  The election of a successor Trust Manager shall be considered
an amendment to the Declaration of Trust.

         SECTION 3.8      BOND NOT REQUIRED; TIME COMMITMENT.  Unless otherwise
required by law, no Trust Manager shall be required to give bond, surety or
security in any jurisdiction for the performance of his duties or obligations
to the Trust.  No Trust Manager shall be required to devote his entire time to
the business and affairs of the Trust.

         SECTION 3.9      COMPENSATION.  Trust Managers shall receive
compensation for their services to the Trust as may be determined from time to
time by the Trust Managers.  The Trust Managers may delegate to any committee
the power to fix from time to time the compensation of Trust Managers.
Officers of the Trust who also serve as Trust Managers shall not receive
compensation for their service as Trust Managers.

         SECTION 3.10     EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS.  Each Trust Manager and any
one of them is authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust any document or
instrument of any nature whatsoever, provided that the execution by the Trust
of any such document or instrument shall have been previously authorized by
such action of the Trust Managers as may be required by statute, the
Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws.

fixed by the consent in writing of all of the Trust Managers.

         SECTION 4.3      REGULAR MEETINGS.  Regular meetings of the Trust

day's notice (oral or written) to each Trust Manager.  Special meetings shall
be called by the Chairman of the Board (if one shall be elected), the President
or the Secretary on like notice on the written request of any Trust Manager.
Neither the purpose of, nor the business to be transacted at, any special
meeting of the Trust Managers need be specified in the notice or waiver of
notice of such meeting.  Attendance of a Trust Manager at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trust Manager
attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the
meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is
not lawfully called or convened.

         SECTION 4.5      QUORUM AND ACTION.  At all meetings of the Trust
Managers, the presence of a majority of the Trust Managers shall be necessary
and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the
act of a majority of the Trust Managers at any meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be





                                       14
<PAGE>   19

law, the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws.  If a quorum shall not be
present at any meeting of Trust Managers, the Trust Managers present may
adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at
the meeting until a quorum shall be present.

         SECTION 4.6      PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT TO ACTION.  A Trust Manager who
is present at a meeting of the Trust Managers at which action on any Trust
matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless
his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall
file his written dissent to such action with the secretary of the meeting
before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail
to the Secretary of the Trust immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.
Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Trust Manager who voted in favor of
such action.

         SECTION 4.7      TELEPHONE MEETINGS.  Trust Managers may participate
in and hold a meeting of the Trust Managers by means of conference telephone or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this
Section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a
person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

         SECTION 4.8      ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.  Any action required or
permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Trust Managers may be taken without a
meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed
by all the Trust Managers, and such consent shall have the same force and
effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting.

         SECTION 4.9      MINUTES.  The Trust Managers shall keep regular
minutes of their proceedings.  The minutes shall be placed in the minute book
of the Trust.

         SECTION 4.10     INTEREST OF TRUST MANAGERS.  With respect to the
actions of the Trust Managers, Trust Managers who have any direct or indirect
interest in connection with any matter being acted upon may be counted for all
quorum purposes under this Article IV.

         SECTION 4.11     RIGHT OF TRUST MANAGERS AND OFFICERS TO OWN SHARES OR
OTHER PROPERTY AND TO ENGAGE IN OTHER BUSINESS.  Any Trust Manager or officer
of the Trust may acquire, own, hold and dispose of shares of the Trust for his
individual account, and may exercise all rights of a shareholder to the same
extent and in the same manner as if he were not a Trust Manager or officer of
the Trust.  Except as provided specifically to the contrary in a written
agreement with the Trust, any Trust Manager or officer of the Trust may, in a
capacity other than that of Trust Manager or officer of the Trust, have
business interests and engage in business activities similar to or in addition
to those relating to the Trust, which interests and activities may be similar
to and competitive with those of the Trust and may include the acquisition,
syndication, holding, management, development, operation or disposition, for
his own account or for the account of others, of interests in mortgages,
interests in real property, or interests in entities engaged in the real estate
business.  Except as provided specifically to the contrary in a written
agreement with the Trust, each Trust Manager and officer of the Trust shall be
free of any obligation to present to the Trust any investment opportunity which
comes to him in any capacity other than solely as Trust Manager or agent of the
Trust, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the
Trust, could be exploited by the Trust.  Subject to the provisions of Article
III hereof, any Trust Manager or officer of the Trust may be a trustee,
officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, advisor or employee of, or
otherwise have a direct or indirect interest in any person who may be engaged
to render advice or services to the Trust, and may receive compensation from

hereunder.

Trust and any other person, or in which the Trust is interested, shall be valid
and no





                                       16
<PAGE>   21
Trust Manager or officer of the Trust shall have any liability as a result of
entering into any such contract, act or transaction, even though (a) one or
more of the Trust Managers, directly or indirectly is interested in or
connected with, or is a trustee, partner, director, shareholder, member,
employee, officer or agent of such other person, or (b) one or more of the
Trust Managers, individually or jointly with others, is a part to, or directly
or indirectly is interested in, or connected with, such contract, act or
transaction, provided that (i) such interest or connection is disclosed in
reasonable detail or known to the Trust Managers and thereafter the Trust
Managers authorize or ratify such contract, act or other transaction by
affirmative vote of a majority of the Trust Managers who are not interested in
the transaction or (ii) such interest or connection is disclosed in reasonable
detail or known to the shareholders, and thereafter such contract, act or
transaction is approved by shareholders holding a majority of the shares then
outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

         SECTION 4.13     PERSONS DEALING WITH TRUST MANAGERS OR OFFICERS.  Any
act of the Trust Managers or officers of the Trust purporting to be done in
their capacity as such shall, as to any person dealing with such Trust Managers
or officers, conclusively be deemed to be within the purposes of the Trust and
within the powers of the Trust Managers or officers.  No person dealing with
the Trust Managers or any of them or with the officers of the Trust or any of
them, shall be bound to see to the application of any funds or property passing
into their hands or control.  The receipt of the Trust Managers or any of the
officers of the Trust of moneys or other consideration shall be binding upon
the Trust.

         SECTION 4.14     RELIANCE.  Trust Managers and officers of the Trust
shall not be liable for any claims or damages that may result from their acts
in the discharge of any duty imposed or power conferred upon them by the Trust,
if, in the exercise of ordinary care, they acted in good faith and in reliance
upon the written opinion of an attorney for the Trust.  In discharging their
duties, Trust Managers and officers of the Trust, when acting in good faith and
exercising ordinary care, may rely upon financial statements of the Trust,
stated in a written report by an independent certified public accountant, to
fairly present the financial position of the





                                       17
<PAGE>   22
Trust.  The Trust Managers and officers of the Trust may rely upon any
instrument or other document believed by them to be genuine.

         SECTION 4.15     LIABILITY OF TRUST MANAGERS.  No Trust Manager of the
Trust shall be liable to the Trust for any act, omission, loss, damage or
expense arising from the performance of his duty under the Trust, except to the
extent specifically required by statute, the Declaration of Trust or these
Bylaws.

resolution adopted by a majority of the Trust Managers, may designate one (1)

authority of the Trust Managers in the business and affairs of the Trust,
except in those cases where the authority of the Trust Managers is specifically
denied to the Executive Committee or such other committee or committees by the
Trust Managers, applicable law, the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws.
Neither the Executive Committee, nor any other such committee shall have the
power to alter or to repeal any resolution adopted by the Trust Managers.  The
designation of an Executive Committee or other committee and the delegation
thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Trust Managers, or any
member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon him by law.  The members of
each such committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Trust Managers.

         SECTION 5.2      MINUTES AND RULES OF PROCEDURE.  Each committee
designated by the Trust Managers shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings
and report the same to the Trust Managers when required.  Subject to the
provisions of these Bylaws, the members of any committee may fix such
committee's own rules of procedure.

         SECTION 5.3      VACANCIES.  The Trust Managers shall have the power
at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve,
any committee.

designated by the Trust Managers may participate in or hold a meeting by use of
conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a
meeting pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in person at such
meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express
purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

         SECTION 5.5      ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.  Any action required or
permitted to be taken at a meeting of any committee designated by the Trust
Managers may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth
the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the committee, and such
consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting.

                                   ARTICLE VI

any two (2) or more of these offices.

         SECTION 6.2      ELECTION, TERM OF OFFICE AND QUALIFICATION.  The
Trust Managers shall elect officers, none of whom need be a Trust Manager,

delegate to any





                                       19
<PAGE>   24
committee or officer the power to appoint any such subordinate officer or

conferred by the Trust Managers.  The removal of any officer shall be without

rights.

         SECTION 6.6      VACANCIES.  A vacancy in any office shall be filled
for the unexpired portion of the term by the Trust Managers, but in case of a
vacancy occurring in an office filled by a committee or superior officer in

such officer at the date of its issuance.

         (b)     In the event the Trust has, by its Declaration of Trust,
limited or denied the preemptive right of shareholders, there shall be set
forth on the face or back of the certificates, which the Trust shall issue to
represent beneficial interests, such legends or statements, if any, as shall be
required by applicable law or the Declaration of Trust or as may be approved by
the Trust Managers.

         (c)     All certificates shall be consecutively numbered and the name
of the person owning the shares represented thereby, with the number of such
shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the Trust's books.

         (d)     All certificates surrendered to the Trust shall be cancelled,
and, except as provided in Section 7.2 with respect to lost, destroyed or
mutilated certificates, no new certificate shall be issued until the former
certificate for the same number of shares has been surrendered and cancelled.

         SECTION 7.2      LOST CERTIFICATES, ETC.  The Trust Managers may
direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any
certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Trust alleged to have
been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the
person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed.  In
authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Trust Managers
may, in their discretion and as a condition precedent to the issue thereof,
require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his
legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Trust
Managers shall require and/or indemnify the Trust as the Trust Managers may
prescribe.

         SECTION 7.3      TRANSFER OF SHARES.  Subject to any restrictions upon
transfer, upon surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of a
certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer and satisfaction of the Trust
that the requested transfer complies with the provisions of applicable state
and federal laws and regulations, the Declaration of





                                       24
<PAGE>   29
Trust and any agreements to which the Trust is a party, the Trust shall issue a
new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and
record the transaction upon its books.

         SECTION 7.4      OWNERSHIP OF SHARES.  The Trust shall be entitled to
treat and recognize the holder of record of any share or shares as the holder
in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable
or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other
person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as
otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Texas.

         SECTION 7.5      CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS.  For the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a distribution
by the Trust (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by
the Trust of its own shares) or a share dividend, or in order to make a
determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the Trust Managers
may provide that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period
but not to exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days.  If the share transfer books
shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at
least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting.  In lieu of closing the
share transfer books, the Trust Managers may fix in advance a date as the
record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case
to be not more than sixty (60) days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders,
not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action
requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken, and the
determination of shareholders on such record date shall apply with respect to
the particular action requiring the same notwithstanding any transfer of shares
on the books of the Trust after such record date.

         SECTION 7.6      DIVIDENDS.  The Trust Managers may, from time to
time, declare, and the Trust may pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in
the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by the Declaration of
Trust and by law, such dividends to be paid in cash or in property or in shares
of beneficial interests of the Trust, except no dividends shall be paid when
the Trust is insolvent or when the payment thereof would render the Trust
insolvent.

         SECTION 7.7      RESERVES.  By resolution the Trust Managers may
create such reserve or reserves of the Trust as the Trust Managers from time to
time, in their absolute discretion, determine to be proper as a reserve or
reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing
or maintaining any property of the Trust, or for such other purpose as the
Trust Managers shall determine to be beneficial to the interest of the Trust.
The Trust Managers may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in
which it was created.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                INDEMNIFICATION

         SECTION 8.1      DEFINITIONS.  In this Article:

         (a)     "Indemnitee" means (i) any present or former Trust Manager or
officer of the Trust, (ii) any person who while serving in any of the
capacities referred to in clause (i) hereof served at the Trust's request as a
director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or
similar functionary of another real estate investment trust or foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and (iii) any person nominated or
designated by (or pursuant to authority granted by) the Trust Managers or any
committee thereof to serve in any of the capacities referred to in clauses (i)
or (ii) hereof.

         (b)     "Official Capacity" means (i) when used with respect to a
Trust Manager, the office of Trust Manager of the Trust and (ii) when used with
respect to a person other than a Trust Manager, the elective or appointive
office of the Trust held by such person or the employment or agency
relationship undertaken by such person on behalf of the Trust, but in each case
does not include service for any other real estate investment trust or foreign
or domestic corporation or any partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.





                                       26
<PAGE>   31
         (c)     "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding,
and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or
proceeding.

         SECTION 8.2      INDEMNIFICATION.  The Trust shall indemnify every
Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties (including excise and similar
taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding in which he was,
is or is threatened to be named defendant or respondent, or in which he was or
is a witness without being named a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole
or in part, of his serving or having served, or having been nominated or
designated to serve, in any of the capacities referred to in Section 8.1(a), if
it is determined in accordance with Section 8.4 that the Indemnitee (a)
conducted himself in good faith, (b) reasonably believed, in the case of
conduct in his Official Capacity, that his conduct was in the Trust's best
interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to
the Trust's best interests, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided,
however, that in the event that an Indemnitee is found liable to the Trust or
is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by
the Indemnitee the indemnification (i) is limited to reasonable expenses
actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding and (ii)
shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which the Indemnitee shall
have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the Trust.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding
proviso to the first sentence of this Section 8.2, no indemnification shall be
made under this Section 8.2 in respect of any Proceeding in which such
Indemnitee shall have been (x) found liable on the basis that personal benefit
was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an
action taken in the Indemnitee's Official Capacity, or (y) found liable to the
Trust.  The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or
conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself
determinative that the Indemnitee did not meet the requirements set forth in
clauses (a), (b) or (c) in the first sentence of this Section 8.2.  An
Indemnitee shall be deemed to





                                       27
<PAGE>   32
have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the
Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom.  Reasonable expenses shall include,
without limitation, all court costs and all fees and disbursements of attorneys
for the Indemnitee.

         SECTION 8.3      SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE.  Without limitation of Section
8.2 and in addition to the indemnification provided for in Section 8.2, the
Trust shall indemnify every Indemnitee against reasonable expenses incurred by
such person in connection with any Proceeding in which he is a witness or a
named defendant or respondent because he served in any of the capacities
referred to in Section 8.1(a), if such person has been wholly successful, on
the merits or otherwise, in defense of the Proceeding.

         SECTION 8.4      DETERMINATIONS.  Any indemnification under Section
8.2 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the
Trust only upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitee is
proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct.  Such determination shall be made (a) by the Trust Managers by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of Trust Managers who, at the time of such
vote, are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (b) if such a
quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Trust
Managers, duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all Trust
Managers (in which designation Trust Managers who are named defendants or
respondents in the Proceeding may participate), such committee to consist
solely of two (2) or more Trust Managers who, at the time of the committee
vote, are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (c) by special
legal counsel selected by the Trust Managers or a committee thereof by vote as
set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 8.4 or, if the requisite quorum
of all of the Trust Managers cannot be obtained and such committee cannot be
established, by a majority vote of all of the Trust Managers (in which Trust
Managers who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding may
participate); or (d) by the shareholders in a vote that excludes the shares
held by Trust Managers that are named defendants or respondents in the
Proceeding.  Determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in
the same manner as the determination that





                                       28
<PAGE>   33
indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination that
indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, determination
as to reasonableness of expenses must be made in the manner specified in clause
(c) of the preceding sentence for the selection of special legal counsel.  In
the event a determination is made under this Section 8.4 that the Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct as to some matters but not as to
others, amounts to be indemnified may be reasonably prorated.

         SECTION 8.5      ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.  Reasonable expenses
(including court costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnitee who was
or is a witness or was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or
respondent in a Proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Trust at
reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding,
and without making any of the determinations specified in Section 8.4, after
receipt by the Trust of (a) a written affirmation by such Indemnitee of his
good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the Trust under this Article VIII and (b) a written
undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay the amount paid or
reimbursed by the Trust if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Trust as authorized in this Article VIII.
Such written undertaking shall be an unlimited obligation of the Indemnitee but
need not be secured and it may be accepted without reference to financial
ability to make repayment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
VIII, the Trust may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in
connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in a
Proceeding at a time when he is not named a defendant or respondent in the
Proceeding.

         SECTION 8.6      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.  For purposes of this Article
VIII, the Trust shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve an
employee benefit plan whenever the performance by him of his duties to the
Trust also imposed or imposes duties on or otherwise involved or involves
services by him to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan.
Excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan
pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed fines.  Action taken or omitted by
an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of
his duties for a purpose reasonably





                                       29
<PAGE>   34
believed by him to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of
the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust.

         SECTION 8.7      OTHER INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.  The
indemnification provided by this Article VIII shall (a) not be deemed exclusive
of, or to preclude, any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may
at any time be entitled under the Trust's Declaration of Trust, any law,
agreement or vote of shareholders or disinterested Trust Managers, or
otherwise, or under any policy or policies of insurance purchased and
maintained by the Trust on behalf of any Indemnitee, both as to action in his
Official Capacity and as to action in any other capacity, (b) continue as to a
person who has ceased to be in the capacity by reason of which he was an
Indemnitee with respect to matters arising during the period he was in such
capacity, and (c) inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

         SECTION 8.8      NOTICE.  Any indemnification of or advance of
expenses to an Indemnitee in accordance with this Article VIII shall be
reported in writing to the shareholders of the Trust with or before the notice
or waiver of notice of the next shareholders' meeting or with or before the
next submission to shareholders of a consent to action without a meeting and,
in any case, within the twelve-month period immediately following the date of
the indemnification or advance.

         SECTION 8.9      CONSTRUCTION.  The indemnification provided by this
Article VIII shall be subject to all valid and applicable laws, including,
without limitation, the Texas Real Estate Investment Trust Act, and, in the
event this Article VIII or any of the provisions hereof or the indemnification
contemplated hereby are found to be inconsistent with or contrary to any such
valid laws, the latter shall be deemed to control and this Article VIII shall
be regarded as modified accordingly, and, as so modified, shall continue in
full force and effect.

         SECTION 8.10     CONTINUING OFFER, RELIANCE, ETC.  The provisions of
this Article VIII (a) are for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, each
Indemnitee of the Trust, the same as if set forth in their entirety in a
written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Trust and such Indemnitee
and (b) constitute a





                                       30
<PAGE>   35
continuing offer to all present and future Indemnitees.  The Trust, by its
adoption of these Bylaws, (x) acknowledges and agrees that each Indemnitee of
the Trust has relied upon and will continue to rely upon the provisions of this
Article VIII in becoming, and serving in any of the capacities referred to in
Section 8.1 hereof, (y) waives reliance upon, and all notices of acceptance of,
such provisions by such Indemnitees and (z) acknowledges and agrees that no
present or future Indemnitee shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce the
provisions of this Article VIII in accordance with their terms by any act or
failure to act on the part of the Trust.

         SECTION 8.11     EFFECT OF AMENDMENT.  No amendment, modification or
repeal of this Article VIII or any provision of this Article VIII shall in any
manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future
Indemnitees to be indemnified by the Trust, nor the obligation of the Trust to
indemnify any such Indemnitees, under and in accordance with the provisions of
this Article VIII as in effect immediately prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to
matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification
or repeal, regardless of when such claims may be asserted.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         SECTION 9.1      GENERAL POLICIES.  The Trust intends to make

                                       31
<PAGE>   36
shares were issued or to be issued.  Upon the payment of such consideration,
such shares shall be fully paid and non- assessable by the Trust.

         SECTION 9.3      WAIVER OF NOTICE.  (a) Whenever, under the provisions
of applicable law or of the Declaration of Trust or of these Bylaws, any notice
is required to be given to any shareholder or Trust Manager, a waiver thereof
in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of
such notice.

         (b)     Attendance of a Trust Manager at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trust Manager attends a meeting
for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

         SECTION 9.4      SEAL.  If one be adopted, the Trust seal shall have

other person or persons as the Trust Managers may from time to time designate.

shall determine from time to time whether, and if allowed, when and under what
conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Trust (except such as

open to





                                       32
<PAGE>   37
inspection by the shareholders, and the shareholders' rights in this respect
are and shall be restricted and limited accordingly.

                           MASTER EXCHANGE AGREEMENT


         This Agreement is entered into this 7th day of November 1997 by and
between _____________ ("Recipient") and Camden Property Trust (the "Company")
and modifies the Master Exchange Agreement dated 31 January 1997.

                 WHEREAS, pursuant to the 1993 Share Incentive Plan of Camden
Property Trust (the "Plan"), the Recipient has and will receive awards of
Restricted Shares as shown in Exchange Supplement A attached hereto which shall
vest over time in accordance with the terms of the Plan and outlined on
Exchange Supplement B;

         WHEREAS, Recipient desires to exchange his right to receive the
unvested Restricted Shares upon vesting and all other rights appurtenant
thereto for the Rights to Repurchase (as defined below);

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to exchange the Rights to Repurchase for
the return of the Recipient's unvested Restricted Shares;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.       Recipient hereby agrees to exchange Recipient's unvested Restricted
         Shares (including the right to receive dividends thereon and the right
         to vote such shares) for the Rights to Repurchase as described below.

2.       Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deposit
         Recipient's Restricted Shares into a rabbi trust (the "Trust")
         established for the benefit of the Company.  The Trust shall be
         administered by an independent trustee who shall be selected by the
         Company.  Unless otherwise agreed by Recipient and Company, the
         Company agrees, whenever any dividend is declared on common shares of
         beneficial interest of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the
         "Common Shares"), to pay to the Recipient an amount per Restricted
         Share held hereunder as of such date(s) by the Trust equal to the
         amount per Common Share paid to the holders of record of Common Shares
         of the Company (the "Dividend Equivalents").  The Company and
         Recipient may agree that any Dividend Equivalents payable on account
         of dividends declared on the Common Shares shall be paid to the Trust
         instead of the Recipient.  Such agreement to pay Dividend Equivalents
         to the Trust shall be applicable with respect to Dividend Equivalents
         payable on account of dividends declared on the Common Shares during
         the following calendar year, and shall be irrevocable for those
         Dividend Equivalents during that year.  The Dividend Equivalents
         payable under this Section 2 shall be distributed directly to the
         Recipient or Trust, as the case may be, as soon as administratively
         feasible.

<PAGE>   2
         If any dividend is declared on the Common Shares after the date on
         which Recipient ceases employment with the Company, such Dividend
         Equivalents shall be paid by the Company to the Trust.  Any Dividend
         Equivalents paid to the Trust shall accumulate in the Trust and the
         Trustee shall invest such Dividend Equivalents in Marketable
         securities other than the Company's securities.  The trustee shall
         have the right to substitute, from time to time, other marketable
         securities of equal value for the marketable securities of equal value
         for the marketable securities originally purchased by the trustee.

3.       Upon vesting of the Restricted Shares under the terms of the relevant
         award agreement, Recipient shall have the right to purchase all or
         part of the Restricted Shares that Recipient exchanged with the Trust
         together with any securities that were purchased with the accumulated
         Dividend Equivalents received by the Trust on such Restricted Shares
         (the "Rights to Repurchase").  The Rights to Repurchase may be
         exercised with regard to vested shares in an amount at least equal to
         the lesser of 2,000 shares or the number of shares for any portion of
         an Award separately identified in Exchange Supplement B.  Nothing in
         this Agreement shall be construed as allowing a Recipient to exercise
         his Rights to Repurchase to purchase either the shares or the Dividend
         Equivalents but not both; that is, the shares and the related Dividend
         Equivalents must be purchased together, except as provided in
         paragraph 6 hereof.

4.       The Restricted Shares which are the subject of Rights to Repurchase
         shall vest according to the terms of the relevant Restricted Share
         award agreement and are summarized on Exchange Supplement B.  The
         Rights to Repurchase shall be exercisable for a period of 20 years
         from the applicable vesting date.

5.       The exercise price of the Rights to Repurchase shall equal the sum of
         (i) 10% of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Shares to be
         purchased by Recipient, as determined on the date of this Agreement,
         and (ii) 5% of the amount of Dividend Equivalents paid to the Trust
         with respect to such Restricted Shares.

6.       If Recipient's employment or relationship with the Company or its
         Affiliates is terminated for any reason before vesting of the
         Restricted Shares, the Rights to Repurchase such Restricted Shares
         shall terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
         relevant Restricted Share agreement or, if not specified otherwise, on
         the date of death, disability, retirement, or the date notice of
         termination or resignation is given.  Recipient's Rights to Repurchase
         vested shares shall be exercisable for a period of one year from the
         date of termination of employment or relationship.  Thereafter, the
         unexercised Rights to Repurchase shall terminate and be of no further
         force and effect.  However, to the extent that any Dividend
         Equivalents have been paid to the Trust and not yet repurchased from
         the Trust, recipient shall vest in such Dividend Equivalents (to the
         extent not previously vested) and be entitled to repurchase such
         Dividend Equivalents separately from the shares, even though such
         shares have not vested and the vesting rights in such shares is then
         expiring.

7.       All initial capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
         the meanings set forth in the Plan.

8.       This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
         State of Texas.

9.       To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held to be
         unenforceable, illegal or invalid under any current or future law,
         such provision shall be fully separable and this Agreement shall be
         construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
         provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions
         of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not
         be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by
         its severance therefrom.  In lieu of such illegal, invalid or
         unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part
         of this Agreement, a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar
         in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be
         possible, and the parties hereto request the court or any arbitrator
         to whom disputes relating to this Agreement are submitted to reform
         the otherwise illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision in
         accordance with this Section 9.

10.      To the extent any provisions of this Agreement conflict with the
         provisions of any employment agreement entered into between the
         Company and Recipient, the terms of the employment agreement shall
         control.  To the extent that any such employment agreement provides
         for the automatic or accelerated vesting of securities or derivative
         securities held by the Recipient upon the occurrence of a change of
         control, business combination or other enumerated event, the
         Restricted Shares and Rights to Repurchase shall likewise be deemed to
         be governed by such provisions and shall likewise vest on the terms
         and conditions set forth in such employment agreement.

11.      The Rights to Repurchase granted hereunder, to the extent permitted by
         law, shall be transferable to Recipient's spouse, children or
         grandchildren or to a trust created for their benefit.  The Rights to
         Repurchase shall not otherwise be transferable.

12.      The Restricted Shares and Rights to Repurchase covered by this
         Agreement shall be subject to the adjustment provisions contained in
         the Plan (currently Section 7 of the Plan).

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

                              ARTICLE 3 - THE LOAN

         3.1. Commitment and Advances.  As a condition precedent to the Loan, 
Borrower shall have satisfied all of the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A" on
or before the Closing Date or such other date specified therein. Thereafter,
each Lender agrees severally and not jointly to make Advances of the Loan to
Borrower in accordance with this Agreement from the Closing Date to the earliest
to occur of (a) the Maturity Date; (b) if Agent elects, the date thirty (30)
days after the Closing Date if all conditions to the first Advance have not been
satisfied on or before such date; (c) the Advance Termination Date; or (d)
termination under Article 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lenders shall have
no obligation to make any Advance (x) which would cause the unpaid principal
amount of the Loan to exceed the lesser of the Committed Sum or the Maximum
Available Amount, except to the extent contemplated in Section 3.7(b)(v) with
respect to Bid Rate Loans, or (y) to the extent Lenders are relieved from such
obligation under provisions of the Loan Documents. Furthermore, except to the
extent contemplated in Section 3.7(b)(v) with respect to Bid Rate Loans, no
Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advance which would cause the
unpaid principal balance of such Lender's Notes to exceed such Lender's
Commitment. The Loan is revolving until the Advance Termination Date; prior to
the Advance Termination Date any amount repaid may be reborrowed. The Loan is
non-revolving on and after the Advance Termination Date. The amount of the Loan
set forth on the books and records of Agent maintained in the ordinary course of
business shall be presumptive evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and
unpaid from time to time, but the failure to record any such amount shall not
limit or affect the Obligations.

         The obligations of Borrower with respect to all Advances other than Bid
Rate Loans shall be evidenced by the Advance Notes. The obligations of Borrower
with respect to the Bid Rate Loans shall be evidenced by the Bid Rate Notes.

         Borrower hereby authorizes Lenders to make Advances of the Loan on the
Closing Date to pay all amounts outstanding, principal, interest and other sums,
under those certain Promissory Notes dated effective as of April 14, 1997, made
payable by Borrower to the order of the lenders under the Prior Loan Agreement
in the aggregate original principal sum of $150,000,000.00. Borrower further
acknowledges that this Agreement restates and amends the Prior Loan Agreement in
its entirety.

         3.2. Direct Advances to Lenders.  Lenders may (but shall have no 
obligation to) advance, by journal entry or otherwise, Loan funds directly to
themselves to pay interest due on the Loan and the Commitment Fee, whether there
is any Default or Potential Default. Each such direct Advance shall be added to
the principal amount of the Loan, even if in excess of the Committed Sum, and
shall be secured by the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed to permit the deferral of the payment of interest on the Loan
beyond the dates due, require Borrower to use Loan funds to pay interest or any
such fees, or affect Borrower's absolute obligation to pay the same in
accordance with the Loan Documents.

         3.3. Disbursement and Performance by Lenders.  (a) If Borrower fails to
pay or perform any Obligation when due and there exists any Default or Potential
Default which is continuing, or Borrower has requested Agent to make an Advance,
refrain from making an Advance or take any action, Agent, in Borrower's name or
in its own name, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such
Obligation including (i) payment to Tribunals of taxes, assessments and other
charges with respect to the Property; (ii) payment to insurers to maintain
insurance; (iii) payment to the holder of any unpermitted lien or encumbrance
against the Property to remove same; (iv) performing any other Obligation
including payment to any third party Agent deems necessary or advisable in
connection with any Work or expenses incident to the Property or the Loan; and
(v) taking any action and paying any amounts Agent deems necessary or advisable
to protect and preserve the Property, the title thereto, or any other security
for the Obligations. Borrower hereby assigns and pledges the proceeds of the
Loan to Agent and Lenders for such purpose. Agent and its representatives shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property at any time
for the purposes referred to in this Section. No such action, payment or
disbursement, or failure to act, pay or disburse, shall cure or waive any
Default or Potential Default, or waive any right or remedy of Agent or Lenders.

         (b) Any funds of Lenders paid or used for any of the purposes referred
to above in this Section shall constitute an Advance of Loan funds and be a part
of the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents, even if in excess of the
Committed Sum, and Lenders' obligation to make future Advances shall be
correspondingly reduced. Agent and Lenders may rely on any statement, invoice,
claim or notice without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof, and
without liability for the sufficiency or adequacy of any such action or payment.
Upon making any such payment Lenders shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Person receiving such payment. The amount and nature of any such expense or
expenditure and the time when paid shall be fully established by the statement
of Agent of the amount and nature thereof.

         (c) All costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by Lenders under
this Section, in connection with any Default or Potential Default, to protect or
preserve the Property, or which are reimbursable by Borrower under any provision
of this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be a part of the Obligations, even
if in excess of the Committed Sum, and secured by the Loan Documents. Except as
provided otherwise in the Loan Documents, if incurred before the Maturity Date,
such costs, expenses and disbursements shall be paid or reimbursed to Lenders

paid until the date ten (10) days after demand, at the per annum rate equal to
the lesser of the Maximum Rate or the Base Rate, provided that if at any time
the Base Rate would exceed the Maximum Rate then the Base Rate shall be limited
to the Maximum Rate, but, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, any
subsequent reductions in the Base Rate shall not reduce the Base Rate below the
Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued at the Maximum Rate
equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if the Base Rate had not
been limited by the Maximum Rate, and (ii) from and after the date ten (10) days
after demand, at the per annum rate equal to the lesser of the Maximum Rate or
the Past Due Rate. Except as provided otherwise in the Loan Documents, if
incurred after the Maturity Date, all such costs and expenses shall be
reimbursed to Lenders upon demand by Agent and shall bear interest until paid at
the per annum rate equal to the lesser of the Maximum Rate or the Past Due Rate.

         3.4. Fees.  (a) In consideration of the commitment of Lenders to make 
the proceeds of the Loan available to Borrower on a revolving basis prior to the
Advance Termination Date, prior to the execution hereof, Borrower has paid to
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the nonrefundable commitment fee in the
amount of $187,500.00 (the "Initial Commitment Fee"), being the sum equal to
 .125% of $150,000,000.00. The Initial Commitment Fee has been earned in full and
is a bona fide commitment fee intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders for
committing to make the Loan available to Borrower on a revolving basis prior to
the Advance Termination Date.

         (b) Within ten (10) days after the last day of each calendar quarter
(or portion thereof in the event the Maturity Date is not the last day of a
calendar quarter) during the term of the Loan commencing with the quarter ending
December 31, 1997, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of each Lender,
in arrears an unused fee equal to .15% per annum on each Lender's unused
commitment. As used in the preceding sentence, the term "unused commitment"
means, with respect to each Lender, an amount equal to the product of such
Lender's Commitment Percentage multiplied by the average daily Total Commitment
during such quarter, minus an amount equal to the average daily principal amount
outstanding during such quarter under all Advances (both for Bid Rate Loans and
otherwise) made by such Lender.

         (c) Borrower shall pay to Agent, solely for its own account, the fees
described in that certain letter agreement between Borrower and Agent dated as
of April 14, 1997.

         3.5.     Advance Request.

         (a) At least two (2) Business Days before the requested date of each
Advance (other than Bid Rate Loans), Borrower shall deliver to Agent an
Affidavit and Advance Request in the form of Exhibit "B" ("Advance Request"),
duly executed on Borrower's behalf, specifying the amount of the Advance, and   
all supporting documentation required by this Agreement. Lenders shall not be
required to make Advances more frequently than twice each week and shall, only
upon satisfaction of all conditions of this Agreement, make the requested
Advance to Borrower on a Business Day within two (2) Business Days after
submission of the Advance Request. Each Advance Request and Borrower's
acceptance of any Advance shall be deemed to ratify and confirm that all
representations and warranties in the Loan Documents remain true and correct as
of the date of the Advance Request and such Advance.

         (b) Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any
Advance Request and its contents.

         (c) By 11:00 a.m. on the applicable Advance date, each Lender shall
remit its Pro Rata Part of each requested Advance by wire transfer to Agent
pursuant to Agent's wire transfer instructions on Exhibit "E" (or as otherwise
directed by Agent) in funds that are available for immediate use by Agent.

         (d) Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Agent may assume that
each Lender has made its Pro Rata Part of the requested Advance available to
Agent on the applicable Advance date, and Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but is not required to), make available to Borrower a corresponding
amount. If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Part of any requested Advance
available to Agent on the applicable Advance date, Agent shall seek to recover
the applicable amount on demand (i) from that Lender, together with interest at
the overnight rate for federal funds transactions between member banks of the
Federal Reserve System, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to Borrower
by Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date Agent recovers the amount from
that Lender, or (ii) if that Lender fails to pay its amount upon demand, then
from Borrower, together with interest at an annual interest rate equal to the
rate applicable to the requested Advance for the period commencing on the
Advance date and ending on (but excluding) the date Agent recovers the amount
from Borrower. No Lender is responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make its Pro Rata Part of any Advance.

         3.6.  Conditions to All Advances.  In addition to all other terms of 
the Loan Documents, as conditions precedent to each Advance:

         (a)      all conditions of the Loan  Documents and the Closing  
Conditions  listed in Exhibit "A"  must be satisfied;

         (b)      no Default or Potential Default shall exist;

         (c)      all representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents
shall be true and correct as of the date of each Advance;


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       7

<PAGE>   11
         (d) as of the date of making such Advance, no event, circumstance or
condition shall exist or shall have occurred and be continuing which has or
could have a Material Adverse Effect.

         3.7.     Bid Rate Loans.

         (a) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion and on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Bid Rate Loans to Borrower from
time to time until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount not in excess of
the difference between the Total Commitment minus the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Advances under the Loan; provided, however, at no time
shall the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Bid Rate
Loans made by all Lenders plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Advances other than Bid Rate Loans exceed the Total Commitment. Bid
Rate Loans must have a term not in excess of six (6) months and a maturity date
on or prior to the Maturity Date and may not be prepaid without the prior
written consent of the Lender making such Bid Rate Loan. The principal amount of
each Bid Rate Loan is due and payable on the maturity date for such Bid Rate
Loan and shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is at least $10,000,000
and which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; each Bid Rate
Loan by a Lender shall be in a principal amount which is at least $1,000,000 and
which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate
Loans outstanding at any time may not exceed $75,000,000. Interest on each Bid
Rate Loan is due and payable on the maturity date for such Bid Rate Loan,
provided, however, that with respect to any Bid Rate Loan having a term of more
than thirty-five (35) days, a payment of interest accrued during any calendar
month (other than the calendar month during which the maturity date for such Bid
Rate Loan occurs) is due and payable on the tenth (10th) day of the following
calendar month unless the maturity date of such Bid Rate Loan is prior to such
tenth (10th) day, in which case all interest on such Bid Rate Loan is due on the
maturity date. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Bid Rate Loans, and
Borrower shall have no obligation to accept any offers for Bid Rate Loans. No
Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund its Commitment Percentage of
any Advance notwithstanding the fact that at any time the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans and Advances other than Bid Rate Loans
made by such Lender exceeds its Commitment Percentage.

         (b) With respect to Bid Rate Loans, Borrower shall give Agent prior to
10:00 a.m., utilizing the form attached hereto as Exhibit "H", (i) in the case
of Eurodollar Bid Rate Loans, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the
proposed borrowing and (ii) in the case of Fixed Bid Rate Loans, at least two
(2) Business Days prior to the proposed borrowing, irrevocable written notice of
its intention to borrow Bid Rate Loans. Such notice of borrowing shall specify
(i) the requested funding date, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the
aggregate amount of the proposed borrowing of Bid Rate Loans (which shall be at
least $10,000,000 and which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof), (iii) the term of the Bid Rate Loans selected by Borrower, provided
that such term shall not exceed six (6) months and shall not extend past the
Termination Date, (iv) whether the Bid Rate Loans requested are Fixed Bid Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Bid Rate Loans, and (v) any other terms applicable thereto.
Borrower shall pay a $1,000 non-refundable, administrative fee for the account
of Agent for each month during which Borrower submits more than two (2) notices
of a proposed borrowing consisting of Bid Rate Loans. Such fee shall be paid to
Agent on the date of delivery of Borrower's third notice of intention to borrow
Bid Rate Loans within a particular month, and shall not be refunded
notwithstanding that the proposed borrowing is canceled by Borrower or no Lender
offers to make a Bid Rate Loan.

               (i) Upon receipt of Borrower's notice, Agent shall promptly give
          notice to each Lender of Borrower's intention to borrow Bid Rate
          Loans, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "I", and each Lender
          shall, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably
          offer to make one or more Bid Rate Loans to Borrower as part of such
          proposed borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such
          Lender in its sole discretion, by delivering a written quote to Agent
          in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "J", before 10:00 a.m., (A)
          three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in
          the case of a request for Eurodollar Bid Rate Loans, and (B) one (1)
          Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a
          request for Fixed Bid Rate Loans, setting forth (A) the minimum amount
          (which shall be $1,000,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof)
          and maximum amount of each Bid Rate Loan which such Lender would be
          willing to make as part of the proposed borrowing (which amounts may
          exceed such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Total Commitment)
          and (B) the rate or rates of interest therefor. If any Lender shall
          fail to respond to Agent by such time, such Lender shall be deemed to
          have elected not to make an offer.

               (ii) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior
          to the proposed date of borrowing in the case of Eurodollar Bid Rate
          Loans and (B) on the date of the proposed borrowing in the case of
          Fixed Bid Rate Loans, Borrower shall, in turn, either

                    (x) cancel such proposed borrowing by giving Agent notice to
               that effect, or

                    (y) by delivering to Agent the form attached hereto as
               Exhibit "K", accept, in accordance with Section 3.7(c) below, one
               or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to
               clause (i) above, in its sole discretion, by giving notice to
               Agent of the amount of each Bid Rate Loan (which amount shall be
               equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less
               than the maximum amount, for which notification was given to
               Borrower by any Lender for such Bid Rate Loan pursuant to clause
               (i) above)


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997

<PAGE>   12
               to be made by each Lender as part of such borrowing, and reject
               any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above
               by giving Agent notice to that effect.

               (iii) Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender, utilizing
          the form attached hereto as Exhibit "K", whether or not its Bid Rate
          Loan has been accepted (which notice to those Lenders whose Bid Rate
          Loans have been accepted will be given within one hour from the time
          such bid was accepted by Borrower). After completing the notifications
          referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, Agent shall notify
          each bidding Lender (A) the aggregate amount of Bid Rate Loans made in
          connection with such proposed borrowing, (B) each date on which any
          Bid Rate Loan shall mature, (C) the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans
          which shall mature on such date, and (D) the interest rate for each
          such Bid Rate Loan.

               (iv) If Agent shall at any time elect to submit a bid for a Bid
          Rate Loan in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such bid
          directly to Borrower one-half hour earlier than the latest time at
          which other Lenders are required to submit their bid to Agent pursuant
          to Section 3.7(b)(i) hereof.

               (v) If Borrower accepts one or more offers made by any Lender or
          Lenders pursuant to Section 3.7(c) below, each such Lender shall,
          unless any applicable condition set forth herein has not been
          satisfied, make the funds under the Bid Rate Loans promptly available
          to Borrower by wire transfer to Agent pursuant to Agent's wire
          transfer instructions on "Exhibit E" (or as otherwise directed by
          Agent) in funds that are available for immediate use by Agent.

               (vi) Interest on any Bid Rate Loan shall be calculated on the
          basis of actual days elapsed but computed as if each calendar year
          consisted of 360 days.

         (c) Acceptance by Borrower of offers under Section 3.7(b)(ii)(y) above
may only be made on the basis of ascending Eurodollar Bid Rates and Fixed Bid
Rates within each term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any
Lender's offer is greater than the difference between (1) such Lender's
Commitment Percentage of the Total Commitment, and (2) the outstanding principal
of all Advances previously made by such Lender (such difference being referred
to herein as the "Commitment Differential"), then the Borrower may do any of the
following with respect to acceptance of such Lender's offer:

          (i) Accept the offer of such Lender in the full amount of the Bid Rate
     Loan offered by such Lender (the "Available Bid Amount");

          (ii) Accept the offer of such Lender, but only to the extent of any
     amount the Borrower chooses, in its sole discretion, which is greater than
     the Commitment Differential but less than the Available Bid Amount;

          (iii) Accept the offer of such Lender to the extent of (but not less
     than) the Commitment Differential.

If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Eurodollar Bid Rates or
Fixed Bid Rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount for
which such offers are accepted for the related term, the principal amount of Bid
Rate Loans accepted shall be allocated by Borrower among such Lenders as nearly
as possible (in multiples not less than $1,000,000) in proportion to the
aggregate principal amount of such offers.

                               ARTICLE 4 - PAYMENT

         4.1      Repayment at Maturity; Mandatory Principal Reductions.

         (a) Subject to any provisions of the Loan Documents requiring repayment
on any earlier date, the principal amount of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

         (b) Borrower shall, immediately upon a determination of the existence
of Excess Debt, reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan by an
amount equal to the Excess Debt.

         4.2. Interest.  Subject to Section 3.7 regarding Bid Rate Loans and 
Section 9.6, interest shall be calculated in accordance with the following:

         (a) (i) Interest on the Loan or any portion thereof shall accrue at a
rate per annum equal to the lesser of (A) at Borrower's option, (x) the Base
Rate or (y) the Eurodollar Rate plus one and five hundredths percent (1.05%),
subject, however, to the provisions of this Section 4.2, or (B) the Maximum
Rate, provided, however, that:

         (1)      the definition of Base Rate shall be deemed to be one-quarter
                  percent (.25%) in excess of the Prime Rate and the reference
                  to "one and five hundredths percent (1.05%)" in subsection (y)
                  above shall be deemed to refer to "one and one-half percent
                  (1.5%)" during any period for which both the S&P Rating and
                  the Moody's Rating are less than BBB- and Baa3, respectively;
                  and

                  percentage set forth below during any period in which the
                  lower of the S&P Rating or the Moody's Rating is at the

Interest on any Eurodollar Rate Principal of the Notes shall be calculated on
the basis of actual days elapsed but computed as if each calendar year consisted
of 360 days; interest on any Prime Rate Portion of the Notes shall be calculated
on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be.

                  (ii) Subject to the conditions provided herein, Borrower may,
on any Interest Adjustment Date (other than the Termination Date) convert any
Eurodollar Rate Principal into a Prime Rate Portion with interest accruing
thereon with reference to the Prime Rate as provided in paragraph (i) above.

                  (iii) Subject to the conditions provided herein, Borrower may,
on any Business Day (other than the Termination Date) convert any Prime Rate
Portion into a Eurodollar Rate Principal with interest accruing thereon with
reference to the Eurodollar Rate as provided in paragraph (i) above, for the
Interest Period selected in such notice.

                  (iv) Subject to the conditions provided herein, Borrower may
elect for interest to accrue with respect to an Advance with reference to the
Eurodollar Rate as provided in paragraph (i) above.

                  (v) To the extent Borrower has not made an effective election
under and in accordance with subparagraph (iii) or (iv) above, the Applicable
Rate shall be the rate specified pursuant to the provisions contained herein for
a Prime Rate Portion.

         (b) Each notice of Eurodollar Rate Principal election by Borrower,
other than in connection with a Bid Rate Loan, must be in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "D", received by Agent by 2:00 p.m. Houston time two (2)
Business Days prior to any Advance, conversion or continuation (the "Minimum
Notice Period") and shall include the following: (i) Borrower's election of the
Eurodollar Rate; (ii) Borrower's choice of an Interest Period during which the
Eurodollar Rate will apply; (iii) Borrower's election of the "Effective Date"
(herein so called) on which the Interest Period shall begin; (iv) the amount of
the Eurodollar Rate Principal; and (v) Borrower's representation that there then
exists no Default or Potential Default.

         (c) Borrower's election to accrue interest at the Eurodollar Rate is
subject to the following conditions: (i) no Eurodollar Rate Principal shall be
less than $100,000.00; (ii) the Interest Period shall be limited to a period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on a date 7 days or 30, 60, 90, 120,
180 or 360 days later elected by Borrower in its notice to Agent; (iii)
Borrower's written notice of an election shall be received by Agent in time to
satisfy the Minimum Notice Period; (iv) the last day of the Interest Period will
not be subsequent in time to the Termination Date; (v) in the case of a
continuation of an Interest Period, the Interest Period applicable after such
continuation shall commence on the last day of the preceding Interest Period;
(vi) no Eurodollar Rate Principal election shall be made if Agent determines by
reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market either
adequate or reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate
for any Interest Period, or it becomes impracticable or illegal for Agent, any
Lender or any participant in the Loan to obtain funds (by purchasing U.S.
dollars in the interbank Eurodollar market) or if Agent or any Lender determines
that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately or fairly reflect the costs to any
Lender of maintaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate Principal at such rate; or
if as a result of any change in applicable law or regulation, or in the
interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
administration thereof (a "Regulatory Change"), it shall become unlawful or
impossible for any Lender to maintain any such Eurodollar Rate Principal; (vii)
there shall never be more than seven (7) portions of the Loan representing
Eurodollar Rate Principal in effect at any one time hereunder (with no more than
two (2) of these being for an Interest Period of 7 days); and (viii) there shall
then exist no default under any Loan Document nor any event or circumstance
which, with the giving of notice or time or both, would constitute a default
under any Loan Document.

         (d) Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders against any loss or
expense which Agent or Lenders may, as a consequence of Borrower's failure to
make a payment on the date such payment is due hereunder or the payment,
prepayment or conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Principal hereunder on a day
other than an Interest Adjustment Date, sustain or incur in liquidating or
employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect, fund or maintain any
such Eurodollar Rate Principal or any part thereof; provided, however, that in
no event will Borrower be obligated to pay in connection with the Loan any
amount constituting interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum
amount permissible under applicable law. Such loss or expense shall include,
without limitation, (i) the interest which, but for such failure, payment,
prepayment or conversion, Lenders would have earned in respect of such
Eurodollar Rate Principal so paid, for the remainder of the Interest Period
applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Principal, reduced, if Agent or any Lender is
able to redeposit such principal amount so paid for the balance of such Interest
Period, by the interest earned by Agent or such Lender as a result of so
redepositing such principal amount, plus (ii) any expenses or penalty incurred
by Agent or such Lender on redepositing such principal amount. In the

                                       10


<PAGE>   14

event any such loss or expense is incurred by Agent or any Lender, if requested
by Borrower, Agent or such Lender shall furnish Borrower with a certificate
detailing the basis upon which such loss or expense is computed. Any such
certificate shall establish the amount of such expense or loss for purposes of
this paragraph, in the absence of manifest error in calculation, provided,
however, that upon the discovery of any error, appropriate adjustments shall be
made between such Lender and Borrower.

         (e) Upon receipt of written notice from Agent on behalf of any such
Lender, Borrower shall also indemnify such Lender against and reimburse such
Lender for increased costs to such Lender incurred after delivery of such
notice, as a result of any Regulatory Change, in the maintaining of any
Eurodollar Rate Principal; provided, however, that in no event will Borrower be
obligated to pay in connection with the Loan any amount constituting interest
under applicable law in excess of the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law. All payments made pursuant to this paragraph shall be made free
and clear, without reduction for, or account of, any present or future taxes or
other levies of any nature, excluding net income and franchise taxes.

         4.3. Payment of Principal and Interest.  (a) The principal amount of 
the Loan from time to time outstanding that is not past-due shall bear interest
at a varying rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Maximum Rate or the
Applicable Rate; provided that if at any time the Applicable Rate would exceed
the Maximum Rate then the Applicable Rate shall be limited to the Maximum Rate,
but, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, any subsequent reductions in
the Applicable Rate shall not reduce the Applicable Rate below the Maximum Rate
until the total amount of interest accrued at the Maximum Rate equals the amount
of interest which would have accrued if the Applicable Rate had not been limited
by the Maximum Rate. Interest (other than interest on any Bid Rate Loans, as
described in Section 3.7(a)) accrued for each calendar month shall be due and
payable on the tenth (10th) day of the following calendar month, commencing on
the tenth (10th) day of the first calendar month following the Closing Date, and
continuing through the Maturity Date.

         (b) The principal of the Advance Notes shall be due and payable on the
Maturity Date (except as set forth in Section 4.8 in the event the Option is
exercised). The maturity date of each Bid Rate Note shall be subject to the
terms of Section 3.7.

         4.4. Prepayment Premium.  Borrower may prepay the Prime Rate Portion in
full or in part at any time, on any Business Day, without premium or penalty.
Borrower may prepay any Eurodollar Rate Principal prior to the expiration of the
Applicable Interest Period in full or in part at any time, on any Business Day,
provided (a) Borrower gives Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written
notice of Borrower's intent to prepay, of the amount of principal which will be
prepaid (the "Prepaid Principal") and of the date (the "Prepayment Date") on
which the prepayment will be made and the specific amount of Prepaid Principal
to be applied to sums bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (b) the
prepayment is in the amount of 100% of the Prepaid Principal plus interest
accrued thereon to the Prepayment Date plus any other unpaid sums (other than
principal and interest) which are due and owing to Agent and Lenders under the
Loan Documents as of the Prepayment Date, and (c) Borrower shall pay the
following prepayment privilege fee, which shall in no event be less than zero,
with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Principal that is being prepaid prior to the
last day of the applicable Interest Period:

         (i)   the applicable Eurodollar Rate minus a rate derived by Agent
               using the rate of interest per annum equal to the interest
               settlement rate for U.S. Dollars as published by the British
               Bankers Association, or to the rate or rates published by
               Reuters, Ltd. through its Reuter monitor service, or to
               quotations published by any other recognized market rate source,
               or to direct market quotations) to be the prevailing rate at
               which deposits in dollars are (or would be at Agent's request)
               offered to Agent by major banks in the interbank market for
               Eurodollar deposits at any time during the Prepayment Date for
               the approximate principal amount of the Prepaid Principal and for
               a period comparable to the unexpired portion of the applicable
               Interest Period, multiplied by

         (ii)  the Prepaid Principal, and then multiplied by

         (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from
               the Prepayment Date to the end of the Interest Period and the
               denominator of which is 360.

No Lender shall be obligated actually to reinvest the Prepaid Principal in any
manner as a condition to receiving the prepayment privilege fee or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prepayments of Bid Rate Loans
are subject to Section 3.7(a).

         4.5. Past-Due Obligations.  Any Obligation (including, to the extent 
permitted by applicable law, all accrued unpaid interest on the principal amount
of the Loan) that is not paid when due (whether scheduled, accelerated, or
otherwise) shall bear interest, payable on demand, from the date due until paid,
at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Maximum Rate or the Past Due
Rate.

         4.6. Application of Payments.  (a) So long as no Default or Potential 
Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments (including prepayments)
received by Agent or Lenders hereunder from or on behalf of Borrower shall be
applied first to pay accrued interest then due and payable, second to repay the
principal amount of the Loan (in inverse order of maturity, in the case of
partial prepayments), and third to pay any other Obligations in the manner and
order determined by Agent in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
so long as no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing and
after application of any payment to accrued interest, Agent


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       11

shall apply the payment to that portion of the principal amount of the Loan as
is designated by Borrower in a written notice delivered to Agent simultaneously
with the payment; provided, however, that Agent shall not assist Borrower with
any determination of the portion of the principal amount of the Loan to which
the payment will be applied.

         (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or
Potential Default, all payments (including prepayments) received by Agent or any
Lender hereunder from or on behalf of Borrower shall be applied to the
Obligations in the manner and order determined by Agent in its sole discretion
(subject to the terms and provisions of Article 6 hereof and the Intercreditor
Agreement).

         4.7. General Provisions.  Each payment of principal, interest, and/or 
other sums due to Lenders under any other Loan Document shall be made by
Borrower to Agent before 2:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time on the due date therefor,
without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America
in immediately available funds at Lenders' Payment Address, or at such other
place as may be from time to time designated by Agent by notice to Borrower. Any
payment received after 2:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time shall not be deemed
received and therefore shall not be applied until the next Business Day. Should
any payment due under the Loan Documents become due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by
operation of Law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for the
extended time at the Base Rate or at the Maximum Rate as applicable.

         4.8. Extension of Maturity Date.  Borrower shall have the option (the 
"Option") to extend the original maturity date of the Notes from July 28, 1999,
to July 28, 2000, such Option being exercisable only as provided below, and
subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

         (a)      Agent shall have received written notice of the exercise
                  thereof at least thirty (30) but no more than sixty (60) days
                  before the Advance Termination Date;

         (b)      There shall exist no Default or Potential Default;

         (c)      No event, circumstance or condition shall exist or shall have
                  occurred which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect;

         (d)      Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Agent a
                  modification and extension agreement, and such other
                  agreements, documents or amendments to the Loan Documents as
                  are reasonably requested by Agent to properly document the
                  extension, all in form and content satisfactory to Agent;

          (e)     Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an
                  additional nonrefundable commitment fee in the amount of
                  $375,000.00 (the "Additional Commitment Fee"; together with
                  the Initial Commitment Fee, the "Commitment Fee"), being .25%
                  of $150,000,000.00, in consideration of the commitment of
                  Lenders to make the proceeds of the Loan available to Borrower
                  on a non-revolving basis after the Advance Termination Date.
                  As of the date of Borrower's delivery of written notice
                  regarding the Option, the Additional Commitment Fee will have
                  been earned in full and be a bona fide commitment fee intended
                  as reasonable compensation to Lenders for commitment to make
                  by the Loan available to Borrower on a non-revolving basis
                  after the Advance Termination Date; and

         (f)      During the extended  term,  all terms and  conditions of the 
                  Loan Documents (including but not limited to interest rates
                  and payments) pertaining to the Loan shall continue to apply,
                  provided, however, that the principal shall be due and payable
                  in monthly installments, each equal to the principal portion
                  only of the level payment of principal and interest which
                  would be required if an amount equal to the sum of the
                  outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Notes as of
                  July 28, 1999 were amortized over fifteen (15) years at a per
                  annum interest rate equal to the greater of (i) nine percent
                  (9%), or (ii) two and one-half percent (2.5%) plus the rate of
                  interest per annum on U.S. Treasury Notes having a maturity of
                  seven (7) years in the "this week" column under the heading
                  "Treasury Constant Maturities" of the FEDERAL RESERVE
                  statistical release Form H.15 which has been most recently
                  published, all calculated as of the first (1st) day of the
                  calendar month following the Advance Termination Date. The
                  first of such principal installments shall be due and payable
                  beginning on the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month
                  following the Advance Termination Date and a like principal
                  installment shall be due and payable on the 10th day of each
                  succeeding calendar month thereafter.

         All references in this Agreement to the exercise of the Option shall be
deemed to refer to satisfaction of all conditions set forth above.

                             ARTICLE 5 - ASSET POOL

         5.1.  Property Pool.  As of any date during the term hereof:

         (a) The Pool must have an aggregate undepreciated book value, as
determined in accordance with GAAP, equal to at least one hundred seventy-five
percent (175%) of the Total Unsecured Debt;


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997

                                       12


<PAGE>   16

         (b) (i) The Pool must consist of multi-family real estate projects for
         which Borrower must have received from third party independent
         environmental consultants, and delivered to Agent upon Agent's request,
         written assessments that do not disclose any material environmental
         conditions or risks related to such properties provided, however, that
         Agent shall have given Borrower thirty (30) days' prior written notice
         identifying any project Agent determines must be excluded from the Pool
         due to a material environmental condition before such exclusion shall
         become effective;

                  (ii) No more than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the
         aggregate undepreciated book value of the Pool (as determined in
         accordance with GAAP) may consist of multi-family projects under
         construction ("Development Projects); and

                  (iii) The Pool must have no more than an aggregate of
         $200,000.00 in Liens described in subsection (ix) of the definition of
         the term Permitted Liens" set forth in Article 2, provided, however,
         that in the event the Pool has more than an aggregate of $200,000.00 in
         said Liens, Borrower shall designate in writing to Agent which project
         or projects with said Liens shall be excluded from the Pool so that
         this requirement is once again satisfied, and further provided, that
         such exclusion shall terminate automatically upon reduction of said
         Liens below an aggregate of $200,000.00;

         (c) The Property in the Pool other than the Development Projects must
have an aggregate occupancy level based on bona fide tenant leases requiring
current rent payments of at least eighty-five percent (85%), where the occupancy
level is the average of the occupancy level for each of the immediately
preceding three (3) months; and

         (d) The Total Unsecured Debt must not exceed the maximum hypothetical
loan amount on which the Target Monthly Amortization (as such term is
hereinafter defined) can be calculated with the result that Pool NOI (as such
term is hereinafter defined) for the preceding 90-day period would not be less
than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate Target Monthly
Amortization for such period. As used herein:

                  "Pool NOI" means the net operating income for the Pool,
         calculated by including in expenses the greater of (i) actual capital
         expenditures expensed by Borrower and reserves or (ii) $175.00 per
         apartment unit per year.

                  "Target Monthly Amortization" means the hypothetical monthly
         payment of principal and interest which would be required for each
         month if the Total Unsecured Debt, as of the date of determination of
         the Target Monthly Amortization, were amortized in level payments of
         principal and interest over twenty-five (25) years at an interest rate
         per annum equal to the greater of (i) eight and one-quarter (8.25%); or
         (ii) one and three quarters percent (1.75%) plus the rate of interest
         per annum on U.S. Treasury Notes having a maturity of seven (7) years
         in the "this week" column under the heading "Treasury Constant
         Maturities," of the FEDERAL RESERVE statistical release FORM H.15 which
         has been most recently published (or, if for any reason that published
         rate as of a date not more than ten (10) days prior to such date is not
         available, another rate determined by Agent to be comparable, in its
         discretion reasonably exercised, shall be used for this purpose).

         5.2. Negative Pledge Agreements.  Borrower shall not, and shall not 
permit any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, enter into any negative pledge
agreements with any other Person such that Borrower shall be prohibited from
granting, or causing any Consolidated Subsidiaries to grant, to Agent, for the
benefit to Lenders, a first priority lien and security interest in the Pool as
security for the Obligations.

                        ARTICLE 6 - INTERCREDITOR MATTERS

         6.1.  Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrower is aware of, and has been 
furnished a copy of, the Intercreditor Agreement.

         6.2.  Successors and Assigns; Participations.

         (a) No Lender may transfer, pledge, assign, sell any participation in,
or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligation, except as specifically
permitted under the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and in
accordance with this Section.

         (b) In the event that a Lender, as permitted under the Intercreditor
Agreement, at any time sells to one or more Persons (each a "Participant")
participating interests in its portion of the Obligation, the selling Lender
shall remain a "Lender" under this Agreement (and the Participant shall not
constitute a "Lender" under this Agreement) and its obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged. The selling Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents and
shall remain the holder of its share of the Loan for all purposes under this
Agreement. Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with
the selling Lender in connection with that Lender's rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents. Participants have no rights under the Loan Documents.
Subject to the following, each Lender may obtain (on behalf of its Participants)
the benefits of Article 4 with respect to all participations in its part of the
Obligation outstanding from time to time so long as Borrower is not obligated to
pay any amount in excess of the amount that would be due to that Lender under
Article 4 calculated as though no participations have been made. No Lender may
sell any participating interest under which the Participant has any rights to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, except to


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       13



<PAGE>   17

the extent the amendment, modification or waiver extends the due date for
payment of any principal, interest or fees due under the Loan Documents, reduces
the interest rate or the amount of principal or fees applicable to the
Obligation (except reductions contemplated by this Agreement), or releases any
guaranty or collateral, if any, for the Obligation. However, if a Participant is
entitled to the benefits of Article 4 or a Lender grants rights to its
Participants to approve amendments to or waivers of the Loan Documents
respecting the matters described in the previous sentence, then, unless
otherwise consented to by Agent, that Lender must include a voting mechanism in
the relevant participation agreement whereby a majority of its portion of the
Obligation (whether held by it or participated) shall control the vote for all
of that Lender's portion of the Obligation. Except in the case of the sale of a
participating interest to another Lender, and unless otherwise consented to by
Agent, the relevant participation agreement shall prohibit the Participant from
transferring, pledging, assigning, selling participations in, or otherwise
encumbering its portion of the Obligation.

         (c) In each case in which a Lender, as permitted under the
Intercreditor Agreement, assigns to any other Person (each a "Purchaser") all or
any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, the Purchaser
shall assume those rights and obligations under an assignment agreement
substantially in the form of the attached Exhibit "F". Upon (i) delivery of an
executed copy of the assignment agreement to Agent and (ii) payment of any fee
required under the Intercreditor Agreement from the transferor to Agent, from
and after the assignment's effective date (which shall be after the date of
delivery), the Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party to this Agreement
with commitments as set forth in the assignment agreement, and the transferor
Lender shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement to a
corresponding extent, and, except as provided in the following sentence, no
further consent or action by Lenders or Agent shall be required. Upon the
consummation of any transfer to a Purchaser under this subsection (c), the
then-existing Exhibit "E" shall automatically be deemed to reflect the name,
address, and Commitment of such Purchaser, Agent shall deliver to Borrower and
Lenders an amended Exhibit "E" reflecting those changes, Borrower shall execute
and deliver to each of the transferor Lender and the Purchaser a Note in the
face amount of its respective Commitment following transfer, and, upon receipt
of its new Note, the transferor Lender shall return to Borrower the Notes
previously delivered to it under this Agreement. A Purchaser is subject to all
the provisions in this Article as if it were a Lender signatory to this
Agreement as of the date of this Agreement.

         (d) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement or the
Intercreditor Agreement, a Lender may not sell or participate any of its
interests for a purchase price that, directly or indirectly, reflects a discount
from face value, without first offering the sale or participation to the other
Lenders on a Pro Rata basis (which must be accepted or rejected within five (5)
Business Days after the offer).

               ARTICLE 7 - ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
                            COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

         Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

         7.1.     Financial Statements.

         (a) All financial statements and other financial information regarding
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries furnished by or on behalf of Borrower
to Agent or Lenders are true, correct, and complete as of the dates specified
therein and fully and accurately present the financial condition of Borrower and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates specified, all financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and practices recognized from time to time by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (or any generally recognized successor) consistently
applied for all periods to properly reflect the financial condition, and the
results of operations and changes in financial position, of Borrower (and, on a
consolidated basis, of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries) ("GAAP"). No
change has occurred in Borrower's financial condition or the condition of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries reflected therein since the date of the financial
statement delivered to Agent which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.
Borrower is solvent after giving effect to all borrowings and guaranties
contemplated in the Loan Documents. Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries to, keep accurate books and records in accordance with
GAAP in which full, true and correct entries shall be promptly made. Borrower
shall, and shall cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, permit Agent,
at all reasonable times, to examine and copy the books and records of Borrower
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries pertaining to the Loan, Property, and all
contracts, statements, invoices, bills, and claims for any Work.

         (b) Borrower shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Agent the
following:

                  (i) within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal
         year of Borrower: (A) a balance sheet of Borrower and its Consolidated
         Subsidiaries dated as of the close of such fiscal year; (B) an
         operating statement for such fiscal year; and (C) a fully executed
         certificate in the form of Exhibit "C" ("Compliance Certificate") dated
         as of the delivery of such statements;

                  (ii) within forty-five (45) days after the close of each
         quarter of each fiscal year of Borrower: (A) a balance sheet of
         Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of the close of
         such fiscal quarter; (B) an operating statement for such fiscal
         quarter; and (C) a fully executed Compliance Certificate dated as of
         the delivery of such statements;

                  (iii) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each
         calendar quarter, with respect to the Pool, a consolidating operating
         statement for such quarter (unless requested more frequently by Agent);
         and


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997

                                       14


<PAGE>   18

                  (iv) from time to time, additional financial statements and
         financial information as Agent shall reasonably request.

                  Borrower shall simultaneously deliver to each Lender copies of
         the items referenced in subsections (i)(A) and (B) and (ii)(A) and (B).

         (c) All financial statements of Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries shall include balance sheets (including disclosure of all
contingent liabilities), an income statement, a statement of shareholders'
equity and a statement of cash flows for the applicable period, together with
such supporting schedules and documentation as Agent requires. The consolidating
quarterly operating statements shall include: the project name and location;
percentage of ownership interest; leasing status; and net operating income. All
balance sheets and operating statements shall be certified by Borrower and the
balance sheet and operating statement described in Section 7.1(b)(i) shall be
audited by independent certified public accountants of recognized standing,
selected by Borrower and acceptable to Agent without any qualification or
exception other than those acceptable to Agent.

         7.2. Litigation.  There is no threatened or pending Litigation 
involving or affecting the Property or Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries,
the validity, enforceability, or priority of any of the Loan Documents, or which
constitutes a Material Adverse Effect. If any Litigation is threatened or
commenced (a) that seeks to enjoin, prevent, or declare invalid or unlawful
Borrower's renovation, occupancy, use or operation of the Improvements; (b) that
endangers, questions or attacks the title to any part of the Property or the
validity, enforceability, or priority of any Loan Document; (c) that seeks to
levy upon or seize any part of the Property; (d) for any condemnation or taking
of any part of or interest in the Property; (e) regarding any claimed damage,
default, or diminution or offset against Rent; (f) with respect to any claimed
personal injury, death or property damage on or about the Property; (g)
otherwise purporting to affect the Property; or (h) which constitutes a Material
Adverse Effect; then Borrower shall promptly and vigorously contest such
Litigation in good faith, resist the entry of any temporary or permanent
injunction, and seek the stay of any such injunction that may be entered. After
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Potential Default,
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) commence, appear in, or defend any
such Litigation, compromise or discharge adverse claims made with respect to the
Property, purchase tax titles, remove prior liens or security interests, and pay
all necessary expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with
such Litigation, which Borrower shall reimburse to Agent on demand and which
shall be part of the Obligations, even if in excess of the Committed Sum,
secured by the Loan Documents.

         7.3. Existence and Rights.  True, correct and complete copies of the 
documents governing Borrower's existence and authority have been delivered to
Agent. Borrower and each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the state of its
organization and under Texas Laws; is lawfully doing business in Texas and any
other state in which any portion of the Property is located; has full power and
authority to own the Property, renovate, lease and operate the Improvements, and
enter into and perform the Loan Documents; and has not conveyed, assigned or
otherwise transferred (or agreed to do so) any development rights, air rights,
utility rights, tap-in, availability, or capacity rights, easement or license
rights, or other rights, privileges or attributes with respect to the Property,
except for the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower and each of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries shall maintain and preserve its existence under the Laws of its
jurisdiction of organization and under Texas Laws; preserve, protect, renew and
extend all franchises, permits, licenses, privileges, concessions and other
material rights applicable to Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries or the
Property; and shall not make any change in its name, identity, or structure
without Agent's prior written consent.

         7.4. Authorization, Conflicts, Enforceability.  The execution, 
delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries have been duly authorized by Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries and shall not cause or result in a violation or breach of, or a
default (or provide cause for acceleration of indebtedness) under, any
organizational document, agreement or other Legal Requirement by which Borrower,
its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of Borrower's property are bound or
affected. Neither Borrower nor any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is in
default under any obligation of Borrower, any Legal Requirement applicable to
the Property, or any other Legal Requirement which constitutes a Material
Adverse Effect. The Loan Documents executed by Borrower constitute the valid and
legally binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their
terms, except as limited by Debtor Relief Laws and except as the availability of
certain remedies may be limited by general principles of equity.

         7.5. Title to the Property.  Except with respect to the Ground-Leased 
Property, Borrower or one of its Consolidated Subsidiaries owns and holds full
legal and equitable title to the Property, in fee simple absolute as to all real
property. The execution, delivery, performance and observance of the Loan
Documents will not require or result in the creation of any Lien on any of
Borrower's Property in the Pool.

         7.6. Legal Requirements.  Borrower and each of its Consolidated 
Subsidiaries (a) has complied and will comply, in all material respects as
determined by Agent, with all Legal Requirements relating to or affecting the
Property, Loan (including all reporting requirements applicable to Lenders) or
Borrower or its Consolidated Subsidiaries; (b) has obtained, and delivered true
and correct copies to Agent of, all required permits, licenses, approvals and
consents from, and has made all filings with, any Tribunal (and the same have

Loan Document, and the performance of the Obligations; and (c) has no knowledge
of, and has received no notice of, any violation of any Legal Requirement
relating to or affecting the Property, Borrower or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries. The Property, and the intended use, occupancy, or operation
thereof, complies and

confirmations, statements, applications, rent rolls, affidavits, agreements,
contracts, reports, studies, tests, opinions, and other materials and factual
information furnished to Agent and Lenders by or on behalf of Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries in connection with the Loan are true, accurate and
complete in every material respect on the date as of which the information is
dated or certified and none is incomplete by omitting to state any material fact
necessary to make such information not misleading. There is no material fact or
information that Borrower has not disclosed to Agent that could materially
adversely affect the Property or the condition (financial, business, or
otherwise) of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries. There has been no
material change in any of the foregoing matters from the matters submitted or
disclosed to Agent. There has been no circumstance or event that constitutes a

its Consolidated Subsidiaries is in compliance (and will comply) in all material
respects with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
and neither Borrower nor any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries has incurred (or
will incur) any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any

as specified in this Agreement. The Loan is solely for business purposes, and is
not for personal family, household or agricultural purposes.

         7.11. Payment and Performance.  No Default or Potential  Default 
exists. Borrower is in compliance with the Loan Documents. Borrower shall
perform all the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.

         7.12. Inspection of the Property.  Agent may enter upon the Property to

assist, and will cause its Consolidated Subsidiaries to cooperate and assist, in
such inspections, including furnishing all plans, shop drawings and
specifications in Borrower's possession or the possession of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries relating to the Improvements.

         7.13. Estoppel Certificate.  Borrower shall at any time furnish within

encumbrance upon the Pool, execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium
declaration affecting the Pool, or consent to the annexation of the Pool to any
municipality; (e) perform, or consent to, any drilling or exploration for or

alteration or non-renewal of any insurance coverage with respect to the
Property.

         7.16. Costs and Expenses.  Without limitation of any Loan Document and

         7.20.  REIT Status.  Borrower shall maintain its qualification as a

twelve (12) month period, of (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation

         7.27. Limitation on Distributions.  Unless necessary to comply with 
Section 7.20 hereof or solely as a result of a conversion of convertible
debentures, Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any
Distribution with respect to any class of stock of Borrower unless, immediately
after giving effect to such proposed Distribution, the aggregate of all
Distributions made during any fiscal year of Borrower would not exceed
ninety-five percent (95%) of Borrower's Funds from Operations attributable to
such period.

         7.28. Cost of Unimproved Real Estate.  Borrower shall not, and shall 
not permit any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, purchase or otherwise
acquire title to any unimproved real estate (excluding Development Projects) if
the cost thereof, when added to the aggregate cost of all unimproved real estate
(excluding Development Projects) then owned by Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, would exceed five percent (5.0%) of Total Assets. For purposes of
the foregoing percentage calculation, Borrower may exclude unimproved real
estate that Agent determines is in the process of being continuously and
diligently developed by Borrower. As used in this Section 7.28, the term "cost"
means the aggregate amount of all payments made and obligations incurred by
Borrower or its Consolidated Subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of
such unimproved real estate, including, without limitation, purchase price,
closing costs, attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses customarily
classified as real estate costs.

         7.29. Borrower's Equity Interests. Borrower shall not, and shall  
not permit any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, make any investments with
the result that:

similar entities accounted for on an equity basis (determined in accordance with
GAAP), which are not controlling interests, exceed ten percent (10%) of Total
Assets;

         (b) The cash portion of the purchase price of the stock of any Persons
owned by Borrower, which stock holdings are controlling interests in the
respective Persons, exceeds ten percent (10%) of Total Assets; or

         (c) Without the prior written consent of Agent, the aggregate cost of
the stock of any Person owned by Borrower, which stock holdings are controlling
interests in the respective Persons and which stock is received in exchange for
stock or assets of Borrower, exceeds thirty-three and a third percent (33 1/3%)
of Total Assets.

         As used in this Section 7.29, the term "controlling interest" means an
ownership interest, direct or indirect, in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding stock of the subject Person or an interest which provides Borrower
the right or power to control the composition of a majority of the board of
directors or equivalent governing body of the Person.

         7.30. Non-Apartment Project Assets.  Borrower shall not, and shall not 
permit its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, purchase or otherwise acquire title to

GAAP) exceeds seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of Total Assets, as determined
in accordance with GAAP.

         7.31. Cost of Development Projects.  The ratio of the aggregate cost 
of the Development Projects to the aggregate undepreciated book value of the
Property as determined in accordance with GAAP shall never exceed .15 to 1.0. As
used in this Section 7.31, the term "cost" means the sum of (a) the cost (as
such term is defined in Section 7.28 above) of a Development Project in its
former state as unimproved real estate and (b) all payments made by Borrower or
any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries with respect to predevelopment costs,
to-date-development costs and construction costs in connection with such
Development Project.

         7.32. Notes Receivable.  Notes receivable of Borrower and its 
Consolidated Subsidiaries shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of Borrower's net
worth, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

         7.33. Market Capitalization.  The ratio of total liabilities of 
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, as calculated in accordance with
GAAP except that total liabilities shall include contingent liabilities and
exclude the Debentures, to Market Capitalization shall never exceed .50 to 1.0.

         7.34. Additional Covenants Regarding Consolidated Subsidiaries

         (a)      Borrower shall not do any of the following:

                           security interest in the stock or other equity
                           interest of Borrower in any of its Consolidated
                           Subsidiaries or future Consolidated Subsidiaries (the
                           "Equity"); or

                  (ii)     grant any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, in the

future) to Borrower and (ii) transfer, sell or convey, or grant a lien or
security interest in, the assets, real or personal, of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries (existing or future). Borrower shall not, without the prior written
consent of Agent, consent to or permit the general partner of Camden Operating,
L.P. to consent to any amendment, supplement, or other modification of the Third
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Camden Operating, L.P.
dated as of April 15, 1997, that would (i) impair the general partner's ability
to fully manage and control the day-to-day operations of such partnership, or
(ii) detrimentally alter the general partner's rights or benefits under such
partnership agreement.

         (d) Borrower shall not cause or permit its Consolidated Subsidiaries

shall not, incur additional debt other than:

                  (i)      debt owing to a Person other than Borrower, provided
                           that such debt:

                           (A)      is nonrecourse to any of Borrower and its 
                                    Consolidated  Subsidiaries (existing or 
                                    future);

                           (B)      consists of trade payables; or

                           (C)      constitutes a refinancing, on substantially
                                    equivalent terms and amounts, of any
                                    existing debt of existing Consolidated
                                    Subsidiaries which is secured by a first

                                    existing Consolidated Subsidiary;

                  (ii)     debt incurred by a Consolidated Subsidiary to
                           Borrower, whether such debt was originally payable to
                           Borrower or refinanced by Borrower ("Intercompany
                           Debt").

         7.35.  Additional Agreements Regarding Guaranty

         (a) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower
has caused Camden Subsidiary, Inc. and Camden Operating, L.P. to execute and
deliver to Agent for the benefit of Lenders a Guaranty. Borrower will promptly
notify Agent of the formation of any new Consolidated Subsidiary; thereafter,
Borrower shall cause each newly formed Consolidated Subsidiary, subject to
Section 7.35(e) below, to execute and deliver to Agent for the benefit of
Lenders a Guaranty. Contemporaneously with the delivery of any Guaranty,
Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Agent appropriate certifications,
resolutions, incumbency certificates, and other documents deemed necessary and
appropriate by Agent to evidence the legal, binding, and enforceable effect of
each Guaranty.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any Guaranty, Agent and Lenders covenant and agree with Borrower
that any funds, payments, claims, or distributions actually received by Agent
and Lenders as a result of, or pursuant to any Guaranty ("Guaranty Proceeds"),
shall be made available for distribution equally and ratably among the holders
of the Obligations and the trustee or trustees of any unsecured,
non-subordinated Indebtedness of Borrower issued in offerings registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 or exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A or
Section 4 thereof or otherwise (the "Public Debt") which is outstanding on the
date Agent and Lenders receive such Guaranty Proceeds. This subsection (b) shall
not apply to any payments, funds claims or distributions received by Agent or
any Lender directly or indirectly from Borrower or any other Person other than
from a Consolidated Subsidiary pursuant to a Guaranty, but shall apply solely to
Guaranty Proceeds. Borrower has been supplied a copy of each Guaranty and
specifically understands and agrees with Agent and Lenders that, to the extent
Guaranty Proceeds are distributed to holders of the Public Debt, each Guarantor
has agreed that the Obligation shall not be deemed reduced by any such
distribution, and each Guarantor will continue to make payments pursuant to its
Guaranty until such time as the Obligation has been paid in full after taking
into effect any distributions of Guaranty Proceeds to holders of Public Debt.

         (c) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to limit, modify, or alter
the rights of Agent and Lenders under any Guaranty. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to subordinate the Obligations to the Public Debt, nor give to
any holder of the Public Debt any rights of subrogation.

         (d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any Guaranty shall be deemed
for the benefit of any holders of the Public Debt nor shall anything be
construed to impose on Agent or Lenders any fiduciary duties, obligations

or responsibilities to the holders of the Public Debt. This Section 7.35 and
each Guaranty is for the sole benefit of Agent and Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns.

         (e) On or before December 31, 1997, Borrower shall cause each of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries which own title to unencumbered real estate assets
that have not executed and delivered a Guaranty contemporaneously with the
execution of this Agreement to either (a) merge into or otherwise cause all of
its assets be acquired by a Consolidated Subsidiary party to a Guaranty, or (b)
execute and deliver a Guaranty to Agent for the benefit of Lenders.

         7.36. Additional Covenant Regarding Certain Subsidiaries.  Subject to 
Section 7.35(e) above, Borrower shall cause any Consolidated Subsidiary which
does not own title to unencumbered real estate assets as of the date of this
Agreement that acquires title to any unencumbered real estate assets after the
date hereof to execute and deliver a Guaranty to Agent for the benefit of
Lenders within twenty (20) days after such acquisition.

         NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, (X) NO
SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (OTHER THAN THE DEBENTURES) SHALL BE TREATED AS EQUITY
FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING CALCULATIONS MADE UNDER SECTION 7.23 HEREOF AND (Y)
LENDERS HEREBY APPROVE THE MERGER CONTEMPLATED BY THAT CERTAIN LETTER AGREEMENT

perform any covenant, agreement or condition required in any Loan Document,
other than those covenants, agreements, or conditions addressed as a Default in
this Section 8.1.

         (c) Representations and Warranties. Any statement, representation or
warranty by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries in
any Loan Documents, or in any financial statement or any other writing
heretofore or hereafter delivered to Agent or any Lender in connection with the
Obligations is false, fraudulent, misleading or erroneous in any material
respect.

         subparagraph (iv) below) upon any of its property through legal
         proceedings which are not vacated and such lien discharged prior to
         enforcement of such lien and in any event within ninety (90) days from
         the date thereof; or

                  (iv) fails to have discharged within a period of twenty (20)
         days any attachment, sequestration, or similar writ levied upon any of
         its property; or

                  (v)      fails to pay any final  money  judgment  against  it

                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       21


<PAGE>   25

         (e) Liquidation. The liquidation, termination, dissolution, merger,
consolidation or failure to maintain good standing in the State of Texas, or any
other state in which any portion of the Property is located, of Borrower or its
Consolidated Subsidiaries, other than a merger or consolidation which does not
result in the occurrence of any other Potential Default or Default and after
which the surviving entity is Borrower.

         (f) Material Adverse Change. Any circumstance or event of whatever
nature (including the filing of, or any adverse determination or development in,
any Litigation) occurs which (a) impairs the validity or enforceability of any
Loan Document with respect to a material term, (b) materially and adversely
affects or changes the condition (financial or otherwise), operations, business,
management or assets of Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, or (c)
impairs the ability of Borrower to fulfill any material Obligation.

         (g) Enforceability; Priority. Any Loan Document shall for any reason
cease to be in full force and effect, be declared null and void or unenforceable
in whole or in part, cease to have the priority required herein, or the validity
or enforceability thereof, in whole or in part shall be challenged or denied
but, in the case of a challenge by a party other than Borrower or any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries, only if Agent acting reasonably determines such
challenge is serious.

         (h) Certain Investors. The characterization of the assets of Borrower
or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries as assets of an employee benefit plan
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 if such plan owns
stock in Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

         (i) Other Loan Documents. A default or event of default occurs under
any Loan Document, other than this Agreement, and the same is not remedied
within the applicable period of grace (if any) provided in such Loan Document.

         (j) Other Debt. In respect of any debt (other than the Obligations) of
Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary individually or collectively of at least
$5,000,000, (a) any default or other event or condition occurs or exists beyond
the applicable grace or cure period, the effect of which is to cause or to
permit any holder of that debt to cause, whether or not it elects to cause, any
of that debt to become due before its stated maturity or regularly scheduled
payment dates, or (b) any of that debt is declared to be due and payable or
required to be prepaid by Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary before its
stated maturity.

         NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN SECTION
8.1 (OTHER THAN THE FAILURE TO PAY ANY SUM REQUIRED UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
THOSE EVENTS WHICH ARE NOT CURABLE AND THOSE EVENTS WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN
SUBSECTIONS (A) AND (D) OF SECTION 8.1) SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT FIFTEEN (15)
DAYS AFTER DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF BY AGENT TO BORROWER UNLESS THE
EVENT IS CURED WITHIN SAID FIFTEEN (15) DAYS.

         8.2. Notice and Cure.  If any Loan Document provides for Agent to give 
to Borrower any notice regarding a Default or Potential Default, and if Agent
fails to give such notice to Borrower as provided, the sole and exclusive remedy
of Borrower for such failure shall be to seek appropriate equitable relief to
enforce the agreement to give such notice and to have any acceleration of the
maturity of the Obligations postponed or revoked and foreclosure proceedings in
connection therewith delayed or terminated pending or upon the curing of such
Potential Default to Agent's satisfaction in the manner and during the period of
time permitted by such agreement, if any, and Borrower waives any and all right
to damages and any other relief.

         8.3. Certain Remedies.  Any Default under this Agreement shall also 
constitute a Default under the other Loan Documents. Should a Default occur,
Agent may but without any obligation to do so, at its option and at any time,
and without presentment, demand, or protest, notice of default, dishonor,
demand, non-payment, or protest, notice of intent to accelerate all or any part
of the Obligations, notice of acceleration of all or any part of the
Obligations, or notice of any other kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly
waives, except for any notice required by applicable statute which cannot be
waived (a) declare the Obligations, or any part thereof, immediately due and
payable, whereupon the same shall be due and payable; (b) terminate the Total
Commitment and any obligation to disburse any other funds hereunder; (c) reduce
any claim to judgment; (d) to the maximum extent permitted under applicable
Laws, set-off (or request each Lender to, and each Lender is entitled to, set
off) and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), funds, or assets at any time held and any and all other
indebtedness at any time owing by Agent (or any Lender) to or for the credit or
the account of Borrower against any and all Obligations (and, to the extent
permitted by Law, Borrower is deemed directly obligated to each Lender in the
full amount of the Obligations for this purpose), whether or not Agent exercises
any other right or remedy hereunder and whether or not such Obligations are then
matured; and/or (e) exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded by any of
the Loan Documents, or by Law or equity or otherwise, as Agent deems
appropriate. The aggregate sum of the deposits and funds offset under subsection
(d) above shall (i) not exceed the Obligations and (ii) be distributed on a Pro
Rata basis among the Lenders.

         8.4. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  All rights and remedies provided 
for in the Loan Documents are cumulative of each other and of any and all other
rights and remedies existing at Law or in equity, and Agent and Lenders shall,
in addition to the rights and remedies provided in any Loan Document, be
entitled to avail themselves of all such other rights and remedies now or
hereafter existing at Law or in equity for the collection and enforcement of the
Obligations and the foreclosure of the liens and security interests evidenced by
the Loan Documents. The resort to

                                       22

any right or remedy provided for under any Loan Documents or provided for by Law
or in equity shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any
other appropriate right or rights or remedy or remedies.

                    ARTICLE 9 - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

         Borrower and Lenders further covenant and agree as follows:

         9.1. Loan Documents.  All documents, certificates, insurance policies, 
and other items required under this Agreement to be executed and/or delivered to
Agent or any Lender shall be in form and content satisfactory to Agent.

         9.2. Waiver.  Agent or Lenders may at any time by a specific writing, 
waive compliance by Borrower with any covenant in any Loan Document, consent to
Borrower's doing any act which in any Loan Document Borrower is prohibited from
doing, or to Borrower's failing to do any act which in any Loan Document
Borrower is required to do, or release any Person liable for any part of the
Obligations without impairing or releasing the liability of any other Person.
Agent or Lenders may waive any Default or Potential Default without waiving any
other prior or subsequent Default or Potential Default. Agent or Lenders may
remedy any Default or Potential Default without waiving the Default or Potential
Default remedied. Neither failure by Agent or Lenders to exercise, nor delay by
Agent or Lenders in exercising, nor discontinuance of the exercise of any right,
power or remedy upon any Default or Potential Default shall be construed as a
waiver of such Default or Potential Default or as a waiver of the right to
exercise any such right, power or remedy (including the right to accelerate the
maturity of the Obligations or any part thereof) at a later date. No single or
partial exercise by Agent or Lenders of any right, power or remedy under any
Loan Document shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy under any Loan Document
may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No modification or waiver of
any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any departure by Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless in writing signed by Agent or
Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance, for the purpose for which given and to the extent therein specified.
No notice to nor demand on Borrower in any case shall of itself entitle Borrower
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Remittances in payment of any part of the Obligations other than in the required
amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt
or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is
actually received by Agent or Lenders in immediately available U.S. funds and
shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may
be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank
or banks. Acceptance by Agent or Lenders of any payment which is past due or
which is in an amount less than the amount then due on any Obligation shall be
deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the
existence of a Default or Potential Default, waive, extinguish or impair any of
Agent's or Lenders' rights, including the rights to accelerate the maturity of
the Obligations or any part thereof, or nullify any prior exercise of any of
such rights, constitute a waiver of the requirement of punctual payment and
performance, or constitute a novation in any respect.

         9.3. Lender's Consent or Approval.  Except where otherwise expressly 
provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent or
the exercise of judgment of Agent or Lenders is required, the granting or denial
of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be (a)
within the sole discretion of Agent or Lenders, as the case may be; and (b)
deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose
and executed by Agent or Lenders. Each provision for consent, approval,
inspection, review, or verification by Agent or Lenders is for Agent's or
Lenders' own purposes and benefit only.

         9.4. Modification or Termination.  The Loan Documents may only be 
modified, supplemented, or terminated by a written instrument or instruments
intended for that purpose and executed by the party against which enforcement of
the modification, supplement, or termination is asserted. Any alleged
modification, supplement, or termination which is not so documented shall not be
effective as to any party.

         9.5. Forum.  Borrower hereby irrevocably submits generally and 
unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas state court, or any
United States federal court, sitting in the City of Houston, Texas, and to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or United States federal court sitting
in the state in which any of the Property is located, over any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents or the Obligations.

         9.6. Compliance with Usury Laws.  It is the intent of Borrower and 
Lenders to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury
Laws from time to time in effect. All agreements between Borrower and Lenders
are hereby limited by the provisions of this Section which shall override and
control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising. In no
way, nor in any event or contingency (including, but not limited to, prepayment,
default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation),
shall the interest taken, reserved, contacted for, charged or received under any
Loan Document, or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable Laws. If, from any possible construction of any document, interest
would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum lawful amount, any such
construction shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and such
document shall be automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable Laws,
without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If Lenders
shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under
applicable Laws and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the
maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been
excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the
principal

amount of the Loan in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment
of interest, or refunded to Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the
extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds the principal amount
of the Loan. The right to accelerate maturity of the Obligations does not
include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on
the date of the acceleration, and Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any
unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest taken, reserved,
contracted for, charged or received shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated
term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the
amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum
permitted by applicable Laws. As used in this Section, the term "applicable
Laws" means the Laws of the State of Texas or the federal Laws of the United
States, whichever Laws allow the greater interest, as such Laws now exist or may
be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

         9.7. Notices.  Unless specifically provided otherwise, any notice for 
purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be given in writing
or by telex or by facsimile (fax) transmission and shall be addressed or
delivered to the respective addresses set forth on Exhibit "E", or to such other
address as may have been previously designated by the intended recipient by
notice given in accordance with this Section. If sent by prepaid, registered or
certified mail (return receipt requested), the notice shall be deemed effective
when the receipt is signed or when the attempted initial delivery is refused or
cannot be made because of a change of address of which the sending party has not
been notified; if transmitted by telex, the notice shall be effective when
transmitted (answerback confirmed); and if transmitted by facsimile or personal
delivery, the notice shall be effective when received. No notice of change of
address shall be effective except upon actual receipt, and service of a notice
required by Texas Property Code Section 51.002, as amended from time to time,
shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. This
Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of
notice or demand provided in any Loan Document or to require giving of notice or
demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

         9.8. No Brokers.  Borrower indemnifies Agent and Lenders from any 
liability, claims or losses arising by reason of claims for any such brokerage
commission made by any Person claiming to have dealt with Borrower or any
affiliate of Borrower. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
repayment of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the
possibility of such liability (including attorneys' fees), claims or losses
exists.

         9.9. Partial Invalidity.  A determination that any provision of any 
Loan Document is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or
validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of
any provision of any Loan Document to any Person or circumstance is illegal or
unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision
as it may apply to other Persons or circumstances.

         9.10. Interpretation.  If this Agreement is signed by more than one 
Person as "Borrower," then the term "Borrower" as used in this Agreement shall
refer to all such Persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements,
covenants, waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions
in this Agreement are made by and shall be binding upon each and every such
undersigned Person, jointly and severally. The term "Lenders" shall be deemed,
subject to this Agreement, to include any subsequent holder(s) of the Notes.
Whenever the context of any provisions hereof shall require it, words in the
singular shall include the plural, words in the plural shall include the
singular, and pronouns of any gender shall include the other genders. Captions
and headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience only and shall not affect
the construction of the Loan Documents. All references in this Agreement to
Schedules, Exhibits, Articles, Sections, Subsections, paragraphs and
subparagraphs refer to the respective subdivisions of this Agreement, unless
such reference specifically identifies another document. The terms "herein,"
"hereof," "hereto," "hereunder" and similar terms refer to this Agreement and
not to any particular Section or other subdivision of this Agreement. The terms
"includes" and "including" shall be interpreted as if followed by the words
"without limitation." All references in this Agreement to sums denominated in
dollars or with the symbol "$" refer to the lawful currency of the United States
of America, unless such reference specifically identifies another currency.

         9.11. Disclosure of Information.  Agent and any Lender may disclose any
information Agent or any Lender may from time to time have regarding the Loan,
Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries or the Property to any assignee or
participant or prospective assignee or prospective participant, to Agent's
affiliates including NationsBanc Capital Markets, Inc., to any regulatory body
having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender and to any agent or attorney of
Agent or any Lender and in such other circumstances and to such other parties as
necessary or appropriate in Agent's or any Lender's reasonable judgment.

         9.12. Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure only to the
benefit of Agent and Lenders and each of their respective successors and
permitted assigns and Borrower and Borrower's successors and assigns (and no
other Person shall be deemed a benefitted party hereunder under any
circumstances), subject to Sections 7.19 and 9.19.

         9.13. Conditions for the Benefit of Lenders.  All conditions of the 
obligations of Agent and Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make
Advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and
Lenders, and may be freely waived in whole or in part by Agent and Lenders at
any time. No other Person is a beneficiary of such conditions, has standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions, or is entitled to assume that Agent and
Lenders will make Advances or refuse to make Advances in the absence of strict
compliance therewith. Notwithstanding any approval, consent, inspection,
verification, or receipt and review of information or documents by Agent and
Lenders, neither Agent nor Lenders have any obligation or responsibility
whatsoever, and assume no duty or obligation, for the Property or its condition,
the performance or quality of any Work or workmanship

                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997

regarding the Property or the absence therefrom of defects, the financial
condition, or the reporting thereof, of Borrower, or the compliance of any of
the foregoing with any Legal Requirement. Any inspection or audit of the books
and records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other
information, by or on behalf of Agent or Lenders shall be for Agent and Lenders'
protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility to
Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, construction, maintenance
or operation of the Property, or relieve Borrower of any of the Obligations.
Neither Agent nor Lenders have any duty to supervise or inspect any of the Work,
the books and records pertaining to the Property or the financial records of
Borrower, or to inform Borrower or any other Person of the existence of any
defect, nor shall Agent or Lenders have any liability for the performance or
default of Borrower or any other Person, or for any failure to renovate,
complete, protect or insure the Improvements, or to pay any costs of the Work,
or for the performance of any obligation of Borrower whatsoever.

         9.14. Counterparts.  This Agreement has been executed in several 
counterparts, all of which are identical, each of which shall be deemed an
original, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

         9.15. No Partnership, etc.  The relationship between Lenders and 
Borrower is solely that of lender and borrower. Neither Agent nor Lenders have
any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Borrower and none is
created hereby. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken
pursuant to the Loan Documents, is intended or shall be construed to create any
partnership, joint venture, association, or special relationship between
Borrower and Agent or Lenders or in any way make Agent or any Lender a
co-principal with Borrower with reference to the Property or otherwise. In no
event shall Agent's or Lenders' rights and interests under the Loan Documents be
construed to give Agent or any Lender the right to control, or be deemed to
indicate that Agent or any Lender is in control of, the business, properties,
management or operations of Borrower.

         9.16. Loan Agreement Governs.  In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and any terms of any other Loan Document, the terms of
this Agreement shall govern. All of the Loan Documents are by this reference
incorporated into this Agreement.

         9.17. Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

         9.18. Applicable Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are 
contracts made in, and under the Laws of, the State of Texas, and the Loan
Documents and their validity, enforcement and interpretation, shall for all
purposes be governed by Texas law (without regard to any conflict of laws
principles), unless a portion of the Property is located in a state other than
Texas, in which case the laws of such state shall apply only to the extent
necessary for the enforcement of Agent's remedies under the Loan Documents, and
applicable United States federal law. Chapter 15 of Subtitle 3, Title 79, of the
Revised Civil Statutes of the State of Texas, as in effect on the date hereof
and as the same may hereafter be amended or supplemented from time to time,
shall not apply to the Loan, any Advance or any Loan Document.

         9.19. Participation or Sale of Loan.  Subject to the terms and 
provisions of Article 6 hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent may, from
time to time, sell or offer to sell interests in the Loan to one or more
assignees or participants and any Lender shall have the right to sell its
interest in the Loan or an undivided ownership or participation interest in the
Loan provided NationsBank of Texas, N.A. remains the agent lender (subject to
removal for cause under the terms and provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement
related to the Loan). Agent and each Lender are hereby authorized to disseminate
any information it now has or hereafter obtains pertaining to the Loan
including, without limitation, any security for the Loan and any credit or other
information on Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries and any of its principals
which may be necessary to effectuate any sale or attempted sale of its interest
in the Loan or participation therein or attempted participation therein.
Borrower shall, and shall cause its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by Agent
and any Lender in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation,
to satisfy such purchaser or participants that the Loan is outstanding in
accordance with the terms and provisions contained herein and in the other Loan
Documents. To the extent, if any, specified in any assignment or participation,
such companies, assignee(s), and participant(s) shall have the rights and
benefits with respect to the Loan Documents as such person(s) would have had if
such person(s) had been a Lender hereunder.

         9.20. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The 
obligations of Borrower and the rights of Agent and Lenders under the Loan
Documents shall continue until all Obligations have been paid in full and as
provided in Section 9.21. All representations, warranties and covenants
(including, without limitation, indemnities) made by Borrower in any Loan
Document shall survive the delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Notes
to Lenders, the making of Advances, and the termination of the Total Commitment,
and, with respect to such indemnities (and any other provisions in any Loan
Document specified to survive), shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the release or termination of the Loan Documents, any bankruptcy
or other debtor relief proceeding, and any other event whatsoever. No
investigation at any time made by or on behalf of Agent or Lenders shall
diminish Agent's and Lenders' right to rely on all representations and
warranties made by Borrower under any Loan Document.

         9.21. Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that Borrower or any other 
Person pays the Obligations or any part thereof to Agent or Lenders, or Agent or
Lenders enforce any of their rights under any Loan Document, and such payment or
enforcement or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set 


                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997

aside, and/or required to be repaid to Borrower or such other Person, its
estate, a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any Law, then to the
extent of such repayment, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, together with all Loan Documents (including all the terms thereof
and all of Agent's and Lenders' rights thereunder), notwithstanding any prior
termination and/or delivery of the Loan Documents to Borrower (it being agreed
that the provisions of this Section shall survive any such termination and/or
delivery), shall be revived and continued in effect as if such payment had not
been made or such enforcement had not occurred. Agent shall be entitled to
retain the Loan Documents in its possession for one (1) year after the date on
which all Obligations have been paid in full; provided, that such retention or
non-retention of such documents after payment in full of all Obligations shall
not impair the revival provisions in this Section or the survival provisions in
Section 9.20.

         9.22. Disclaimer of Financing.  Lenders have not made any commitment or
agreement, express or implied, to extend the term of the Loan past the Maturity
Date or to provide Borrower with any financing except as expressly described in
this Agreement.

         9.23. Evidence of Satisfaction.  As part of satisfying or performing 
any condition or obligation under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall deliver to
Agent evidence of such satisfaction or performance satisfactory to Agent.

         9.24. Time References.  Unless otherwise specified, in the Loan 
Documents time references (e.g., 10:00 a.m.) are to time in Houston, Texas.

                       ARTICLE 11 - MANDATORY ARBITRATION

         11.1. Mandatory Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim between or among
the parties hereto including, but not limited to, those arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any related agreements or instruments, including
any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be determined by
binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (or if not
applicable, the applicable state law), the Rules of Practice and Procedure for
the Arbitration of Commercial Disputes of Endispute, Inc. (doing business as
J.A.M.S./Endispute), and the "Special Rules" set forth below. In the event of
any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. Judgment upon any
arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any party to
this Agreement may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding,
to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this agreement
applies in any court having jurisdiction over such action.

         a. Special Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the city of the
         Borrower's domicile at time of this Agreement's execution and
         administered by J.A.M.S./Endispute who will appoint an arbitrator; if
         J.A.M.S./Endispute is unable or legally precluded from administering
         the arbitration, then the American Arbitration Association will serve.
         All arbitration hearings will be commenced within 90 days of the demand
         for arbitration; further, the arbitrator shall only, upon a showing of
         cause, be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up
         to an additional 60 days.

         b. Reservations of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
         (i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of
         limitation or repose and any waivers contained in this Agreement; or
         (ii) be a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the protection afforded to it
         by 12 U.S.C. Sec. 91 or any substantially equivalent state law; or
         (iii) limit the right of Agent or Lenders (A) to exercise self help
         remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose
         against any real or personal property collateral, or (C) to obtain from
         a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to)
         injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver. Agent and Lenders
         may exercise such self help rights, foreclose upon such property, or
         obtain such provisional or ancillary remedies before, during or after
         the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this
         Agreement. At Lenders' option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or
         mortgage may

          be accomplished by any of the following: the exercise of a power of
          sale under the deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial sale under
          the deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial foreclosure. Neither the
          exercise of self help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of
          an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies shall
          constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the claimant
          in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the controversy or
          claim occasioning resort to such remedies.

No provision in the Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction and/or
venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the
provisions in any Loan Document for arbitration of any controversy or claim.

                          ARTICLE 12 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT

         12.1. Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents constitute the entire 
understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
transactions arising in connection with the Loan and supersede all prior
understandings and agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the
matters addressed in the Loan Documents. Except as incorporated in writing in
the Loan Documents, there are not, and were not, and no Persons are or were
authorized to make, on behalf of Lenders any representations, understandings,
stipulations, agreements or promises with respect to the matters addressed in
the Loan Documents.

         THE WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

         THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Borrower has not been served with any written notice that a lien will be claimed
for any amount unpaid for materials delivered, labor performed, or services
provided in connection with the Property, or any part thereof. To Borrower's

materialman's liens or claims with respect to all or any part of the Property.

and the other Loan Documents are true and accurate in all respects as of the

Advance herein requested), except as follows (if any):

         6. No part of the Property has been taken by eminent domain
proceedings, and Borrower has not received written notice of any proceedings or
negotiations therefor which are pending, except as follows (if any):

         7. All conditions precedent to Borrower's right to receive the
requested Advance have been met in accordance with the terms of the Loan

Amount as of the date hereof is $_____________.

         9. Borrower agrees to notify Agent in writing immediately if the
matters certified herein will not be true and correct as of the time of the
requested Advance, and the foregoing certifications shall be deemed made and
ratified as of the time of the Advance unless Borrower so notifies Agent in
writing before that time.

         10. As of the date hereof, Borrower has no claims, causes of action,
demands against any Lender, or defenses or offsets to payment of the Loan or any
other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

         11. Agent's acceptance of this Advance Request will in no way operate
as a waiver by Lenders of any term, condition, covenant or agreement contained
in the Loan Documents, or of Agent's right to enforce any term, condition,
covenant or agreement therein.

         EXECUTED as of the date first written above.

                                                                 Effective as of
$75,000,000.00                   Houston, Texas                November 25, 1997


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST (herein
called "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of _______________, a
___________________ ("Lender"), in immediately available funds in lawful money
of the United States of America, at the address of Agent (as such term is
defined in the hereinafter referenced Loan Agreement) which is 700 Louisiana,
5th Floor, in the City of Houston, Harris County, Texas 77002, or at such other
place as may be from time to time designated by Lender by notice to Borrower,
the lesser of SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000.00) or the unpaid
principal amount of the Bid Rate Loans (as defined in the Loan Agreement) made
by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, payable at such times, and
in such amounts, as are agreed to by Lender and Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7
of the Loan Agreement. The books and records of Agent shall be prima facie
evidence of all sums due Lender.

         Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Bid Rate Loans from the date such principal amount is disbursed until such
principal amount is paid in full at such interest rates as are agreed to by
Lender and Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Loan Agreement.

         This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Restatement
and Amendment of Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated of even effective
date herewith between Borrower, NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as Agent and for
itself and other "Lenders" described therein. Capitalized terms used and not
defined herein are used herein with the meanings given them in the Loan
Agreement. This Note is one of the "Bid Rate Notes" referred to in the Loan
Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement for all purposes,
including, but not limited to provisions regarding (a) the payment and
prepayment hereof and the acceleration of the maturity hereof, certain of which
provisions are contained in Section 3.7 and Article 4 of the Loan Agreement, (b)
exercise of rights, powers, and remedies, (c) payment of the attorney's fees,
court costs, and other costs of collection, and (d) certain waivers by Borrower
and other obligors.

         It is the intent of Lender and Borrower and all other parties to the
Loan Documents to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable
usury Law from time to time in effect. All agreements between Lender or any
other holder hereof and Borrower (or any other party liable with respect to any
indebtedness under the Loan Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of
this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now
existing or hereafter arising. In no way, nor in any event or contingency
(including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or
acceleration of maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved,
contracted for, charged, chargeable or received under this Note or under any of
the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, exceed the Maximum Rate. If, from any
possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise be payable in
excess of the Maximum Rate, any such construction shall be subject to the
provisions of this paragraph and such document shall, ipso facto, be
automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced
to the Maximum Rate, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new
document. If the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value that is
characterized as interest under applicable Law and that would apart from this
provision be in excess of the Maximum Rate, an amount equal to the amount that
would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount owing on the indebtedness evidenced hereby in
the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or
refunded to Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount
that would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. The right to
accelerate maturity of this Note or any other indebtedness does not include the
right to accelerate any interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of
such acceleration, and the holder hereof does not intend to charge or receive
any unearned interest in the event of acceleration. All interest paid or agreed
to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated
term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the
amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum
Rate. As used in this paragraph, the term "applicable Law" shall mean the Laws
of the State of Texas or the federal Laws of the United States applicable to
this transaction, whichever Laws allow the greater interest, as such Laws now
exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

         If more than one Person executes this Note as Borrower, all of said
Persons shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby. Borrower and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors and any other
Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note in whole or in part,
hereby severally (i) waive demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor
and of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate,
notice of acceleration and all other notice (except any notices that are
specifically required by this Note or any other Loan Document), filing of suit
and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security herefor;
(ii) agree to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any such
security or the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable hereon;
(iii) agree that the holder hereof shall not be required first to institute suit
or exhaust its remedies hereon against Borrower or others liable or to become
liable hereon or to enforce its rights against them or any security herefor;
(iv) consent to any extension or postponement of time of payment of this Note

for any period or periods of time and to any partial payments, before or after
maturity, and to any other indulgences with respect hereto, without notice
thereof to any of them; and (v) submit (and waive all rights to object) to
non-exclusive personal jurisdiction in the State of Texas, and venue in the
county in which payment is to be made as specified on the first page of this
Note, for the enforcement of any and all obligations under the Loan Documents.

         This Note may not be amended except in a writing specifically intended
for such purpose and executed by the party against whom enforcement of the
amendment is sought. Any alleged amendment which is not so documented shall not
be effective as to any parties.

         THIS NOTE, AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY TEXAS LAW (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) AND
APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has duly executed this Note as of the date
first above written.

                                FORM OF GUARANTY

                        UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY AGREEMENT

     THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT is executed as of November 25, 1997, by the
undersigned (each, a "Guarantor" and collectively, "Guarantors") for the
benefit of the Loan Parties defined below.

                             W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust
("Borrower"), may from time-to-time be indebted to the Loan Parties pursuant to
that certain Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement dated November 25,
1997 (herein referred to, together with all amendments, modifications, or
supplements thereof, as the "Credit Agreement"), by and between Borrower, each
of the Lenders that are parties thereto (the "Lenders"), and NationsBank of
Texas, N.A., a national banking association (the "Agent"), as Agent for the
Lenders (the Lenders and the Agent, together with their respective successors
and assigns are herein called the "Loan Parties");

     WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein shall, unless otherwise indicated,
have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement:

     WHEREAS, the Loan Parties are not willing to make loans under the Credit
Agreement or otherwise extend credit to Borrower unless Guarantors jointly,
severally, and unconditionally guarantee payment of all present and future
indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to the Loan Parties under the Credit
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Guarantors will benefit from the Loan Parties' extension of
credit to Borrower;

     NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to the Loan Parties to enter into the
Credit Agreement and to make loans to Borrower thereunder, and to extend such
credit to Borrower as the Loan Parties may from time-to-time agree to extend,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby jointly and
severally guarantees payment of the Guaranteed Debt (hereinafter defined) as
more specifically described hereinbelow in Section 1.03 and hereby agrees as
follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                          NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

     SECTION 1.01.  DEFINITION OF GUARANTEED DEBT.  As used herein, the term
"Guaranteed Debt" means:

     (a)  All principal, interest, fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, commitment
fees, liabilities for costs and expenses, and other indebtedness, obligations,
and liabilities of Borrower to the Loan Parties at any time created or arising
in connection with the Credit Agreement, or any amendment thereto or
substitution therefor, including, but not limited to, all indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Loan Parties arising under the
Notes and under the other Loan Documents; and

     (b)  All costs, expenses and fees, including, but not limited to court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising in connection with the collection
of any or all amounts, indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to
the Loan Parties described in item (a) of this Section 1.01.

Each Guarantor has been supplied a copy of the Credit Agreement and, in
particular, has been advised of, read, and understood Section 7.35(b). To the
extent that Guaranty Proceeds are actually distributed to holders of the Public
Debt, Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guaranteed Debt shall not be
deemed reduced by any such payment, and each Guarantor will continue to make
payments pursuant to this Guaranty until such time as the Guaranteed Debt has
been paid in full after taking into effect any distributions of Guaranty
Proceeds to holders of the Public Debt.

     SECTION 1.02.  GUARANTEED DEBT NOT REDUCED BY OFFSET.  The indebtedness,
liabilities, obligations, and other Guaranteed Debt guaranteed hereby, and the
liabilities and obligations of Guarantors to the Loan Parties hereunder, shall
not be reduced, discharged, or released because or by reason of any existing or
future offset, claim, or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against any
Loan Party or against payment of the Guaranteed  Debt, whether such offset,
claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Debt (or the 
transactions creating the Guaranteed Debt) or otherwise.  Without limiting the 
foregoing or any Guarantor's liability hereunder, to the extent that any Loan 
Party advances funds or extends credit to Borrower, and does not receive 
payments or benefits thereon in the amounts and at the times required or 
provided by applicable agreements or laws, each Guarantor is absolutely liable 
to make such payments to (and confer such benefits on) such Loan Party, on a 
timely basis.

     SECTION 1.03.  GUARANTY OF OBLIGATION.  Each Guarantor hereby jointly,
severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Loan Parties (a)
the due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Debt, and (b) the timely
performance of all other obligations now or hereafter owed by Borrower to the
Loan Parties under the Credit

                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       
                                       52
<PAGE>   56
Agreement.  Guarantor hereby jointly, severally, irrevocably and
unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Debt
each as primary obligor.

     SECTION 1.04.  NATURE OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty Agreement is intended to
be an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and is not a
guaranty of collection.  This Guaranty Agreement may not be revoked by any
Guarantor; provided, however, if, according to applicable law, it shall ever be
determined or held that a guarantor under a continuing guaranty such as this
Guaranty Agreement shall have the absolute right, notwithstanding the express
agreement of such a guarantor otherwise, to revoke such guaranty as to
Guaranteed Debt which has then not yet arisen, then a Guarantor may deliver to
the Agent written notice, in addition to giving such notice as provided in
Section 5.02 hereof, that such Guarantor will not be liable hereunder for any
Guaranteed Debt created, incurred, or arising after the giving of such notice,
and such notice will be effective as to such Guarantor from and after (but not
before) such times as said written notice is actually delivered to, in addition
to giving such notice as provided in Section 5.02 hereof, and received by and
receipted for in writing by the Agent; provided that such notice shall not in
anywise affect, impair, or limit the liability and responsibility of any other
person or entity with respect to any Guaranteed Debt theretofore existing or
thereafter existing, arising, renewed, extended, or modified; provided further,
that such notice shall not affect, impair, or release the liability and
responsibility of such Guarantor with respect to Guaranteed Debt created,
incurred, or arising (or in respect of any Guaranteed Debt agreed or
contemplated, in any respect, to be created, whether advanced or not and whether
committed to by the Loan Parties or not, including, without limitation, any
discretionary advances or extensions of credit which may be made by any Loan
Party at its option in the future under any type of loan or credit agreement,
arrangement or undertaking) prior to the receipt of such notice by the Agent as
aforesaid, or in respect of any renewals, extensions, or modifications of such
Guaranteed Debt, or in respect of interest or costs of collection thereafter
accruing on or with respect to such Guaranteed Debt, or with respect to
attorneys' fees thereafter becoming payable hereunder with respect to such
Guaranteed Debt, and shall continue to be effective with respect to any
Guaranteed Debt arising or created after any attempted revocation by such
Guarantor.  The fact that at any time or from time-to-time the Guaranteed Debt
may be increased, reduced, or paid in full shall not release, discharge, or
reduce the obligation of such Guarantor with respect to indebtedness or
obligations of Borrower to the Loan Parties thereafter incurred (or other
Guaranteed Debt thereafter arising) under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or
otherwise.  This Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Loan Parties and any
subsequent holder of the Guaranteed Debt and shall not be discharged by the
assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Guaranteed Debt.

     SECTION 1.05.  PAYMENT BY GUARANTOR.    If all or any part of the
Guaranteed Debt shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at maturity or
earlier by acceleration or otherwise, then Guarantor shall, immediately upon
demand by the Agent, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice
of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate or acceleration, or any other
notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the
amount due on the Guaranteed Debt to the Agent, for the benefit of the Loan
Parties, at the Agent's principal office in Dallas, Texas.  Such demand(s) may
be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part
of the Guaranteed Debt, and may be made from time-to-time with respect to the
same or different items of Guaranteed Debt.  Such demand shall be deemed made,
given and received in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof.

     SECTION 1.06.  PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.     In the event that any Guarantor
should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty
Agreement, then each Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by the Agent, pay
to the Agent, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, all costs and expenses
(including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Loan
Parties in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of the Loan Parties'
rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section 1.06 shall survive the
payment of the Guaranteed Debt.

     SECTION 1.07.  NO DUTY TO PURSUE OTHERS.     It shall not be necessary for
any Loan Party (and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights which such Guarantor
may have to require and Loan Party), in order to enforce such payment by any
Guarantor, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower
or others liable on the Guaranteed Debt or any other person, (b) enforce the
Loan Parties' rights against any security which shall ever have been given to
secure the Guaranteed Debt, (c) enforce the Loan Parties's rights against any
other guarantors of the Guaranteed Debt, (d) join Borrower or any others liable
on the Guaranteed Debt in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty Agreement,
(e) exhaust any remedies available to the Loan Parties against any security
which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt, or (f) resort to
any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Debt. The Loan Parties
shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce,
collect, or enforce the Guaranteed Debt.  Further, each Guarantor expressly
waives each and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the
suretyship law of the State of Texas, including without limitation, any rights
pursuant to Rule 31, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Articles 1986 and 1987,
Revised Civil Statutes of Texas and Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and
Commerce Code.

     SECTION 1.08.  WAIVER OF NOTICES, ETC.  Each Guarantor agrees to the
provisions of the Credit Agreement (including without limitation, Section 11.1
thereof, which provides for mandatory arbitration), the Notes, and the other
Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (a) any loans or advances made by
any Loan Party to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement, (c) any
amendment or extension of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan
Documents, or any other instrument or document pertaining to all or any part of
the Guaranteed Debt, (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower and any Loan
Party of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower's execution and
delivery of any promissory notes or other documents in connection therewith, (e)
the occurrence of any Default or Potential Default, (f) any Loan Party's
transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Debt, or any part thereof, (g) sale or
foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any
collateral for the Guaranteed Debt,

                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       
                                       53

    
<PAGE>   57
(h) protest, proof of nonpayment, or default by Borrower, or (i) any other
action at any time taken or omitted by any Loan Party, and, generally, all
demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty Agreement,
the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents, and any documents or
agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Debt and
the obligations hereby guaranteed.

     Section 1.09.  EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY, OTHER MATTERS.    In the event that,
pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other
debtor relief law, or any judgment, order, or decision thereunder, or for any
other reason, (a) any Loan Party must rescind or restore any payment, or any
part thereof, received by such Loan Party in satisfaction of the Guaranteed
Debt, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of
this Guaranty Agreement given to any Guarantor by such Loan Party shall be
without effect, and this Guaranty Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, (b) Borrower shall cease to be liable to the Loan Parties for any of
the Guaranteed Debt (other than by reason of the indefeasible payment in full
thereof by Borrower), the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  It is the intention of the
Loan Parties and Guarantors that Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall not be
discharged except by Guarantors' performance of such obligations and then only
to the extent of such performance.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is the intention of the Loan Parties and Guarantors that the
filing of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding by or against Borrower or any
person or party obligated on any portion of the Guaranteed Debt shall not
affect the obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty Agreement or the
rights of the Loan Parties under this Guaranty Agreement, including, without
limitation, the right or ability of the Loan Parties to pursue or institute
suit against Guarantor for the entire Guaranteed Debt.

                                   ARTICLE II

                ADDITIONAL EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES NOT REDUCING
                     OR DISCHARGING GUARANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS

     Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and
agrees that such Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall
not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or  adversely affected by any
of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other
rights (including without limitation rights to notice) which such Guarantor
might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

     Section 2.01.  MODIFICATIONS, ETC. Any renewal, extension, increase,
modification, alteration, or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Debt, or of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document;

forbearance, or compromise that might be granted or given by any Loan Party to
Borrower or Guarantor;

     Section 2.03.  CONDITION, COMPOSITION OR STRUCTURE OF BORROWER OR
GUARANTOR. The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition,
structure, liquidation, disability, dissolution, or lack of power of Borrower
or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the
Guaranteed Debt; or any dissolution of Borrower or such Guarantor, or any sale,
lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or such Guarantor, or
any changes in name, business, location, composition, structure, or changes in
the shareholders, partners, or members (whether by accession, secession,
cessation, death, dissolution, transfer of assets, or other matter) of Borrower
or such Guarantor; or any reorganization of Borrower or such Guarantor;

     Section 2.04.  INVALIDITY OF GUARANTEED DEBT.     The invalidity,
illegality, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt, or
any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Debt, for
any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the fact that (a) the
Guaranteed Debt, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by law, (b)
the act of creating the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof is ultra vires, (c)
the officers or representatives executing the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the
other Loan Documents, or other documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed
Debt acted in excess of their authority, (d) the Guaranteed Debt violates
applicable usury laws, (e) Borrower has valid defenses, claims, or offsets
(whether at law, in equity, or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed Debt
wholly or partially uncollectible from Borrower, (f) the creation, performance,
or repayment of the Guaranteed Debt (or the execution, delivery, and
performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed
Debt or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Debt, or given to secure the
repayment of the Guaranteed Debt) is illegal, uncollectible, or unenforceable,
or (g) the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents, or other
documents or instruments pertaining to the Guaranteed Debt have been forged or
otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic.

     Section 2.05.  RELEASE OF OBLIGORS.     Any full or partial release of the
liability of Borrower on the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof, or of any
co-guarantors, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether
directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay,
perform, guarantee, or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Debt or any part
thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by Each Guarantor that
Such Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Debt in full without
assistance or support of any other party, and Such Guarantor has not been
induced to enter into this Guaranty Agreement on the basis of a contemplation,
belief, understanding, or agreement that other parties will be liable to perform
the Guaranteed Debt, or that the Loan Parties will look to other
parties to perform the Guaranteed Debt; notwithstanding the foregoing,
Guarantors do not hereby waive or release (expressly or impliedly) any rights
of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution which it

                                     Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                   Dated as of November 25, 1997
                                       
                                       54
 
<PAGE>   58
may have, after payment in full of the Guaranteed Debt, against others liable
on the Guaranteed Debt; Guarantors' rights of subrogation and reimbursement
are, however, subordinate to the rights and claims of the Loan Parties;

     SECTION 2.06.  OTHER SECURITY.  The taking or accepting of any other
security, collateral, or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or
any part of the Guaranteed Debt;

     SECTION 2.07.  RELEASE OF COLLATERAL, ETC.  Any release, surrender,
exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss, or impairment (including
without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable, or unjustifiable
impairment) of any collateral, property, or security, at any time existing in
connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the
Guaranteed Debt;

     SECTION 2.08.  CARE AND DILIGENCE  The failure of any Loan Party or any
other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care or act, fail to act, or
comply with any duty in the administration, preservation, protection,
enforcement, sale application, disposal, or other handling or treatment of all
or any part of Guaranteed Debt or any collateral, property, or security at any
time securing any portion thereof, including, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the failure to conduct any foreclosure or other remedy
fairly, in a commercially reasonable manner, or in such a way so as to obtain
the best possible price or a favorable price or otherwise act or fail to act;

     SECTION 2.09.  STATUS OF LIENS.  The fact that any collateral, security,
security interest, or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created, or
granted as security for the repayment of the Guaranteed Debt shall not be
properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or
subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and
agreed by each Guarantor that such Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty
agreement in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity,
enforceability, collectibility, or value of any of the collateral for the
Guaranteed Debt; notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantors do not hereby waive
or release (expressly or impliedly) any right to be subrogated to the rights of
the Loan Parties in any collateral or security for the Guaranteed Debt after
payment in full of the Guaranteed Debt; Guarantor's rights of subrogation are,
however, subordinate to the rights, claims, liens and security interests of the
Loan Parties;

     SECTION 2.10.  OFFSET.  Any existing or future right of offset, claim, or
defense of Borrower against the Loan Parties, or any other party, or against
payment of the Guaranteed Debt, whether such right of offset, claim, or defense
arises in connection with the Guaranteed Debt (or the transactions creating the
Guaranteed Debt) or otherwise;

     SECTION 2.11.  MERGER.  The reorganization, merger, or consolidation of
Borrower or any Guarantor into or with any other corporation or entity;

     SECTION 2.12.  PREFERENCE.  Any payment by Borrower to any Loan Party is
held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason any
Loan Party is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to Borrower or
someone else; or

     SECTION 2.13.  OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN OR OMITTED.  Any other action taken or
omitted to be taken with respect to the Credit Agreement, the Guaranteed Debt,
or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or
omission prejudices any Guarantor or increases the likelihood or risk that
Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Debt pursuant to the terms
hereof; it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of each Guarantor that
such Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Debt when due,
notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission
whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not
otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final
payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Debt.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty Agreement;

and debts;

                                    Restatement and Amendment of Loan Agreement
                                                  Dated as of November 25, 1997

or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement, or
other instrument to which Such Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable

enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of
creditors' rights; and

     SECTION 3.07.  SURVIVAL. All representations and warranties made by such
Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.

     SECTION 4.01.  SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTOR CLAIMS. As used herein, the term
"Guarantor Claims" shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to any
Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct,
contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and
irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note,
contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons
in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or
may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter
be acquired by any Guarantor.  The Guarantor Claims shall include without
limitation all rights and claims of any Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a
result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of such Guarantor's payment of
all or a portion of the Guaranteed Debt.  Until the Guaranteed Debt shall be
paid and satisfied in full and each Guarantor shall have performed all of its
obligations hereunder, if a Potential Default or Default exists, then no
Guarantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any
other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

     SECTION 4.02   CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY.    In the event of receivership,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency
proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, the Loan Parties shall have the right
to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights
hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee, or other court
custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor
Claims.  Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Loan
Parties.  Should any Loan Party receive, for application upon the Guaranteed
Debt, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to such Guarantor,
and which, as between Borrower and such Guarantor, shall constitute a credit
upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to the Loan Parties in full of the
Guaranteed Debt, such Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of the
Loan Parties to the extent that such payments to the Loan Parties on the
Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Debt,
and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed
Debt which would have been unpaid if the Loan Parties had not received dividends
or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

     SECTION 4.03.  PAYMENTS HELD IN TRUST.  In the event that, notwithstanding
Sections 4.01 and 4.02 above, a Guarantor should receive any funds, payment,
claim or distribution which is prohibited by such Sections, Guarantors agrees to
hold in trust for the Loan Parties, in kind, all funds, payments, claims, or
distributions so received, and agree that such Guarantor shall have absolutely
no dominion over such funds, payments, claims, or distributions so received
except to pay them promptly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Loan Parties,
and such Guarantor promptly pay the same to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Loan Parties.

     SECTION 4.04.  LIENS SUBORDINATE.  Guarantors agree that any liens,
security interests, judgement liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon
Borrower's assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain
inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgement liens,
charges, or other encumbrances upon Borrower's assets securing payment of the
Guaranteed Debt, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of any
Guarantor or the Loan Parties presently exist or are hereafter created or
attach.  Without the prior written consent of the Agent, no Guarantor shall (a)
exercise or enforce any creditor's right it may have against Borrower, or (b)
foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action
or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement,
debtor's relief, or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages,
deeds of trust, security interest, collateral rights, judgments, or other
encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by any Guarantor.

     SECTION 4.05.  NOTATION OF RECORDS.     All promissory notes, accounts
receivable ledgers, or other evidences of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or
held by any Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the
indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Guaranty
Agreement.

          Section 5.01.    WAIVER.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The
rights of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights
provided by law.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty
Agreement, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in

and purpose involved.  No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a
waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other
instances without such notice or demand.

                                  ADVANCE NOTE

                                                                Effective as of
$                                Houston, Texas               November 25, 1997
 -----------                     


          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST (herein
called "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of ____________________,
a __________________________ ("Lender"), in immediately available funds in
lawful money of the United States of America, at the address of Agent (as such
term is defined in the hereinafter referenced Loan Agreement) which is 700
Louisiana, 5th Floor, in the City of Houston, Harris County, Texas 77002, or at
such other place as may be from time to time designated by Lender by notice to
Borrower, the lesser of ___________________ and NO/100 DOLLARS ($______) or the
unpaid principal amount of the Advances (as defined in the Loan Agreement) made
by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, payable at such times,
and in such amounts, as are set forth in the Loan Agreement.  The books and
records of Agent shall be prima facie evidence of all sums due Lender.

          Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
the Advances made by Lender to Borrower from the date such principal amount is
disbursed to Borrower until such principal amount is paid in full at such
interest rates as are set forth in the Loan Agreement.

          This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Restatement
and Amendment of Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated of even effective
date herewith between Borrower, NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as Agent and for
itself and other "Lenders" described therein.  Capitalized terms used and not
defined herein are used herein with the meanings given them in the Loan
Agreement.  This Note is one of the "Advance Notes" referred to in the Loan
Agreement.  Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement for all purposes,
including, but not limited to provisions regarding (a) the payment and
prepayment hereof and the acceleration of the maturity hereof, certain of which
provisions are contained in Article 4 of the Loan Agreement, (b) exercise of
rights, powers, and remedies, (c) payment of attorney's fees, court costs, and
other costs of collection, and (d) certain waivers by Borrower and other
obligors. 

          It is the intent of Lender and Borrower and all parties to the Loan
Documents to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury
Law from time to time in effect.  All agreements between Lender or any other
holder hereof and Borrower (or any other party liable with respect to any
indebtedness under the Loan Documents) are hereby limited by the provisions of
this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now
existing or hereafter arising.  In no way, nor in any event or contingency
(including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or
acceleration of maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged, chargeable or received under this Note or
under any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, exceed the Maximum Rate.
If, from any possible construction of any document, interest would otherwise
be payable in excess of the Maximum Rate, any such construction shall be subject
to the provisions of this paragraph and such document shall, ipso facto, be
automatically reformed and the interest payable shall be automatically reduced
to the Maximum Rate, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new
document.  If the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value that is
characterized as interest under applicable Law and that would apart from this
provision be in excess of the Maximum Rate, an amount equal to the amount that
would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount owing on the indebtedness evidenced hereby in
the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or
refunded to Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such
amount that would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. The right
to accelerate maturity of this Note or any other indebtedness does not include
the right to accelerate any interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date
of such acceleration, and the holder hereof does not intend to charge or
receive any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.  All interest paid
or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the
full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so
that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the
Maximum Rate.  As used in this paragraph, the term "applicable Law" shall mean
the Laws of the State of Texas or the federal Laws of the United States
applicable to this transaction, whichever Laws allow the greater interest, as
such Laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the
future.

          If more than one Person executes this Note as Borrower, all of said
Persons shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby.  Borrower and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors and any
other Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note in whole or
in part, hereby severally (i) waive demand, presentment for payment, notice of
dishonor and of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to
accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notice (except any notices
that are specifically required by this Note or any other Loan Document), filing
of suit and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security
herefor; (ii) agree to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of
any such security or the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable
hereon; (iii) agree that the holder hereof shall not be required first to
institute suit or exhaust its remedies hereon against Borrower or others liable
or to become liable hereon or to enforce its rights against them or any
security herefor; (iv) consent to any extension or postponement of time of
payment of this Note for any period or periods of time and to any partial
payments, before or after maturity, and to any other indulgences

with respect hereto, without notice thereof to any of them; and (v) submit (and
waive all rights to object) to non-exclusive personal jurisdiction in the State
of Texas, and venue in the county in which payment is to be made as specified
on the first page of this Note, for the enforcement of any and all obligations
under the Loan Documents.

          This Note may not be amended except in a writing specifically
intended for such purpose and executed by the party against whom enforcement of
the amendment is sought.  Any alleged amendment which is not so documented
shall not be effective as to any parties.

          THIS NOTE, AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION, SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY TEXAS LAW (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) AND
APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.


          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has duly executed this Note as of the
date first above written.
