                            SPIEKER PROPERTIES, INC.
                             ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY


         SPIEKER PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation, having its principal
office in the City of Baltimore, Maryland (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies
to the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation that:

         FIRST:  Pursuant to authority expressly vested in the Board of
Directors of the Corporation by the Charter of the Corporation, the Board of
Directors has duly reclassified 6,000,000 shares of the Common Stock (par value
$.0001 per share) of the Corporation into 6,000,000 shares of a class
designated as Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (par value $.0001
per share) of the Corporation ("Series C Preferred Stock") and has provided for
the issuance of such shares.

         SECOND:  The reclassification increases the number of shares
classified as Series C Preferred Stock from no shares immediately prior to the
reclassification to 6,000,000 shares immediately after the reclassification.
The reclassification decreases the number of shares classified as Common Stock
(par value $.0001 per share) from 660,500,000 shares immediately prior to the
reclassification to 654,500,000 shares immediately after the reclassification.

         THIRD:  Subject in all cases to the provisions of Article NINTH of the
Charter of the Corporation with respect to Excess Stock, the following is a
description of the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and
conditions of redemption of Series C Preferred Stock of the Corporation:

                 1.       DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT.

                          The designation of Series C Preferred Stock described
         in Article FIRST hereof shall be "Series C Cumulative Redeemable
         Preferred Stock (par value $.0001 per share)."  The number of shares
         of Series C Preferred Stock to be authorized shall be 6,000,000.  The
         Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Series A
         Preferred Stock") and the Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
         Stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Series B Preferred Stock"), of the
         Corporation rank on a parity as to dividends and amounts upon
         liquidation.

                 2.       DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND PROVISIONS.

                          (a)     Subject to the rights of series of Preferred
         Stock which may from time to time come into existence, holders of
         Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as
         declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for
         the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends at
         the rate of $1.96875 per annum per share.  Such dividends shall be
         cumulative from the date of original issue and shall be payable
         quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and
         October or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day
         (each, a "Dividend Payment Date").  The first dividend, which will be
         due on October 31, 1997, will be for less than a full quarter.  Such
         first dividend and any dividend payable on Series C Preferred Stock
         for any partial dividend period will be computed on the basis of a
         360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  Dividends will be
         payable to holders of record as they appear in the records of the
         Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date,
         which shall be on such date designated by the Board of Directors of
         the Corporation for the payment of dividends that is not more than 50
         nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a
         "Dividend Record Date").

                                      -1-
<PAGE>   2

                          (b)     Dividends on Series C Preferred Stock will
         accrue whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not
         there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends
         and whether or not such dividends are declared.  No interest, or sum
         of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any
         dividend payment or payments on Series C Preferred Stock which may be
         in arrears.  Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will not be
         entitled to dividends in excess of the full cumulative dividends as
         described above.

                          (c)     If, for any taxable year, the Corporation
         elects to designate as "capital gain dividends" (as defined in Section
         857 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor
         revenue code or section (the "Code")) any portion (the "Capital Gains
         Amount") of the total distributions (as determined for federal income
         tax purposes) paid or made available for the year to holders of all
         classes of capital stock (the "Total Distributions"), then the portion
         of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of
         Series C Preferred Stock shall be in the same portion that the Total
         Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series C
         Preferred Stock for the year bears to the Total Distributions.

                          (d)     If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are
         outstanding, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for
         payment on any shares of series of capital stock of the Corporation
         ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to Series C
         Preferred Stock for any period unless full cumulative dividends have
         been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum
         sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payments on
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and
         the then current dividend period.  When dividends are not paid in full
         (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart) upon the
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of any other series
         of capital stock ranking on parity as to dividends with shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series
         C Preferred Stock and any other series of capital stock ranking on a
         parity as to dividends with Series C Preferred Stock shall be declared
         pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on Series
         C Preferred Stock and such other series of capital stock shall in all
         cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per
         share on Series C Preferred Stock and such other series of capital
         stock bear to each other.

                          (e)     Except as provided in Section 2(d), unless
         full cumulative dividends on shares of Series C Preferred Stock have
         been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum
         sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past
         dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no dividends
         (other than in shares of Common Stock or other capital stock ranking
         junior to Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts upon
         liquidation) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or
         other dividend shall be declared or made upon the shares of Common
         Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock, Series A Preferred
         Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or any other capital stock of the
         Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with Series C Preferred
         Stock as to dividends or amounts upon liquidation, nor shall any
         shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock,
         Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or any other
         capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with
         Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends or amounts upon liquidation
         be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or
         any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the
         redemption of any such capital stock) by the Corporation (except by
         conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the Corporation
         ranking junior to Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts
         upon liquidation).

<PAGE>   3
                          (f)     Any dividend payment made on shares of Series
         C Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued
         but unpaid dividend due with respect to shares of Series C Preferred
         Stock which remains payable.

                 3.       LIQUIDATION RIGHTS.

                          (a)     Subject to the rights of series of Preferred
         Stock which may from time to time come into existence, upon any
         voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
         affairs of the Corporation, then, before any distribution or payment
         shall be made to the holders of any shares of Common Stock or any
         other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking
         junior to Series C Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets upon
         any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
         Corporation, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall
         be entitled to receive out of assets of the Corporation legally
         available for distribution to stockholders, liquidation distributions
         in the amount of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus
         an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon.  After
         payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which
         they are entitled, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
         will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
         Corporation, including the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B
         Preferred Stock.  In the event that, upon any such voluntary or
         involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of
         the Corporation, the available assets of the Corporation are
         insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidation distributions on all
         outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the corresponding
         amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital
         stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with Series C Preferred
         Stock in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution
         or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation ("Parity Stock"), then
         the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Parity Stock
         shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion
         to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be
         respectively entitled.

                          (b)     A consolidation or merger of the Corporation
         with or into any other entity or entities, or a sale, lease,
         conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
         the Corporation or the effectuation by the Corporation of a
         transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50%
         of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of, shall not be
         deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs
         of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3.

                 4.       REDEMPTION.

                          (a)     Shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not
         redeemable prior to October 10, 2002.  On and after October 10, 2002,
         the Corporation at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 90
         days' written notice may redeem outstanding shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to
         time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an
         amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date
         fixed for redemption, without interest.  The redemption price of
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock (other than the portion thereof
         consisting of accrued and unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of
         proceeds from the sale of other capital stock of the Corporation,
         which may include Common Stock, Preferred Stock, depositary shares,
         interests, participations or other ownership interests in the
         Corporation however designated (other than debt securities converted
         into or exchangeable for capital stock), and any rights, warrants or
         options to purchase any thereof.  Holders of shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock at the place designated in such notice and shall be
         entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends
         payable upon such redemption following such surrender.  If fewer than
         all of the





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

         outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the
         number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by the Corporation
         and such shares may be redeemed pro rata from the holders of record of
         such shares in proportion to the number of such shares held by such
         holders (with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional shares) or
         by lot in a manner determined by the Corporation.

                          (b)     Unless full cumulative dividends on all
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Parity Stock shall have been or
         contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum
         sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past
         dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock or Parity Stock shall be redeemed unless all
         outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Parity Stock are
         simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall
         not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock or Parity Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange
         offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock or Parity Stock, as the case may be.
         Furthermore, unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Parity Stock have been or
         contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum
         sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past
         dividend periods and the then current dividend period, the Corporation
         shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock or Parity Stock (except by
         conversion into or exchange for shares of capital stock of the
         Corporation ranking junior to Series C Preferred Stock and Parity
         Stock as to dividends and amounts upon liquidation).

                          (c)     Notice of redemption will be mailed at least
         30 days but not more than 90 days before the redemption date to each
         holder of record of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the address
         shown on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.  Each notice
         shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price
         per share; (iv) the place or places where certificates for shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the
         redemption price; and (v) that dividends on shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock will cease to accrue on such redemption date.  If
         fewer than all shares of Series C Preferred Stock are to be redeemed,
         the notice mailed to each such holder thereof shall also specify the
         number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed from each
         such holder.  If notice of redemption of any shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such
         redemption have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the
         benefit of the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock so called
         redemption, then from and after the redemption date, dividends will
         cease to accrue on such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, such
         shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed
         outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will
         terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price.

                          (d)     The holders of shares of Series C Preferred
         Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date will be
         entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to such shares
         of Series C Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date
         notwithstanding the redemption thereof between such Dividend Record
         Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date or the Corporation's
         default in the payment of the dividend due.  Except as provided above,
         the Corporation will make no payment or allowance for unpaid
         dividends, whether or not in arrears, on shares of Series C Preferred
         Stock which have been called for redemption.

                          (e)     Series C Preferred Stock will not be subject
         to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, except as provided in
         Article NINTH of the Charter of the Corporation.

                 5.       VOTING RIGHTS.

                          (a)     Except as indicated in this Section 5, or
         except as otherwise from time to time required by applicable law, the
         holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock will have no voting
         rights.

                          (b)     If six quarterly dividends (whether or not
         consecutive) payable on shares of Series C Preferred Stock or any
         Parity Stock are in arrears, whether or not earned or declared, the
         number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors of the
         Corporation will be increased by two, and the holders of shares of
         Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a class with the holders
         of shares of any other series of Parity Stock entitled to such voting
         rights (any such other series, the "Voting Preferred Stock"), will
         have the right to elect two additional directors to serve on the
         Corporation's Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders
         or a properly called special meeting of the holders of Series C
         Preferred Stock and such other Voting Preferred Stock until all such
         dividends have been declared and paid or set aside for payment.  The
         term of office of all directors so elected will terminate with the
         termination of such voting rights.

                          (c)     The approval of a majority of the outstanding
         Series C Preferred Stock and all other series of Voting Preferred
         Stock similarly affected, voting as a single class is required in
         order to (i) enter into a share exchange that affects shares of Series
         C Preferred Stock or the Voting Preferred Stock, or consolidate with
         or merge the Corporation with or into any other corporation, unless in
         each such case each share of Series C Preferred Stock and Voting
         Preferred Stock remains outstanding without a material adverse change
         to its terms and rights or is converted into or exchanged for
         preferred stock of the surviving entity having preferences, conversion
         and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
         dividends, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption
         thereof identical to that of a share of Series C Preferred Stock or
         the Voting Preferred Stock, or (ii) authorize, reclassify, create, or
         increase the authorized amount of any class of stock having rights
         senior to Series C Preferred Stock or the Voting Preferred Stock with
         respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation,
         dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.  However,
         the Corporation may create additional classes of Parity Stock and
         capital stock ranking junior to Series C Preferred Stock as to
         dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
         the affairs of the Corporation ("Junior Stock"), increase the
         authorized number of shares of Parity Stock and Junior Stock and issue
         additional series of Parity Stock and Junior Stock without the consent
         of any holder of Series C Preferred Stock.

                          (d)     The approval of two-thirds of the outstanding
         Series C Preferred Stock and all other series of Voting Preferred
         Stock similarly affected, voting as a single class, is required in
         order to amend the Corporation's Articles Supplementary or Charter to
         affect materially and adversely the rights, preferences or voting
         power of the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock or the
         Voting Preferred Stock.

                          (e)     Except as provided above and as required by
         law, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote
         on any merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, on any share
         exchange or on a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
         Corporation.

                 6.       CONVERSION.

                          The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not
         convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities
         of the Corporation, except that each share of Series C Preferred Stock
         is exchangeable into Excess Stock as provided in Article NINTH of the
         Charter of the Corporation.

                 7.       STATUS OF REDEEMED OF REACQUIRED STOCK.

                          In the event any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
         shall be redeemed pursuant to Section 4 hereof or reacquired, the
         shares so redeemed or reacquired shall revert to the status of
         authorized but unissued shares of Series C Preferred Stock available
         for future issuance and reclassification by the Corporation.

        The shares of Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock represented
by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of
the Corporation's maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). No Person may
(1) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of
9.9% of the value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Corporation; or (2)
Beneficially Own Equity Stock that would result in the Corporation's being
"closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code. Any Person who attempts to
Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of the
above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All capitalized terms
in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation's Charter, as the
same may be further amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the
restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so
requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, the shares of Equity
Stock represented hereby will be automatically exchanged for shares of Excess
Stock which will be held in trust by the Corporation.

        In addition, the Corporation will furnish to any stockholder on request
and without charge a full statement or summary of the designations and any
preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of
redemption of the stock of each class which the Corporation is authorized to
issue and the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the
shares of each series, to the extent they have been set, and of the authority of
the Board of Directors to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent
series. Such request may be made to the Secretary of the Corporation.
