ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") completed or anticipates
         completing the following property acquisitions:

         NEW ACQUISITION

         EDEN PLAZA/EDEN INDUSTRIAL

         On October 20, 1997, the Company acquired a controlling general partner
         interest in PGP Northern Industrial, L.P., a newly-formed California
         limited partnership (the "Partnership") to which the previous owners
         contributed two industrial properties known as Eden Plaza/Eden
         Industrial Park. The Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial Properties contain
         approximately 500,739 leasable square feet located in Hayward,
         California in Northern California and was previously owned by Eden
         Plaza Associates LLC, a California limited liability corporation
         controlled by Almaden Equities. The asset values upon contribution to 
         the Partnership by the previous owners of the Eden Plaza/Eden 
         Industrial properties were as follows:

                                                           500,739     $  19,000,000
                                                        ============================
</TABLE>

         The Company became the sole general partner of the Partnership with a
         62% ownership interest in exchange for a cash contribution of
         approximately $3,977,000. The previous owners of the Eden Plaza/Eden
         Industrial properties became limited partners in the Partnership upon
         their contribution of the properties and received 144,016 limited
         partnership units in exchange for their minority interest of
         approximately $2,869,000. The limited partner units which represent a
         combined ownership interest in the Partnership of 38% may be tendered
         for redemption beginning, in most cases, two years after the closing of
         the transaction. Upon tender, the Company at its election, can either
         issue shares of its common stock for the units on a one-for-one basis
         (subject to certain adjustments) or pay cash. In connection with the
         properties' contribution at a gross asset value of $19,000,000, the
         Partnership assumed existing indebtedness with an outstanding balance
         of approximately $15,641,000 secured by the properties and $154,000 in
         tenant security deposits. The Company's cash contribution was used to
         refinance and reduce the indebtedness assumed by the Partnership from
         $15,641,000 to $12,000,000. Capitalizable financing costs totaling $120
         were incurred in connection with such refinancing.

</TABLE>

         The Company contracted to acquire these four industrial properties from
         AMRESCO Southern California, LLC, and MSC Valley View, Inc., 
         affiliates of AMRESCO Advisors, a pension fund advisor. In connection 
         with this acquisition, the Company is assuming an existing loan 
         totaling $4,448,000 which is secured by Valley View Distribution 
         Center. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate of interest of 8.375%
         and matures January 2004. The Company plans to spend $495,000 in 
         capital expenditures to rehabilitate these properties.

         Woodland Distribution Center

         On August 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a
         warehouse/distribution center containing approximately 319,800 leasable
         square feet located in Woodland, California ("Woodland Distribution
         Center"). The Company contracted to purchase Woodland Distribution
         Center from Woodland 54 Venture, a California General Partnership,
         for a total cash consideration of $8,600,000.

         The Company anticipates purchasing the Probable Acquisitions with
         proceeds from a proposed public offering of 4,250,000 shares of the
         Company's Common Stock to be completed in November 1997 under the
         Company's $250,000,000 shelf registration statement declared effective
         in April 1997.

         All Probable Acquisitions remain subject to certain conditions to
         closing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Probable
         Acquisitions will be consummated.

On October 16, 1997, the Company acquired a controlling general partner interest
in a newly-formed California limited partnership to which the previous owners
contributed two industrial properties containing approximately 500,739 leasable
square feet located in Hayward, California ("Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial"). The
Company anticipates that it will acquire (i) an industrial portfolio of four

warehouse/distribution center containing approximately 319,800 leasable square

         value of $19,000 subject to approximately $15,641 of existing

         used the funds to reduce the properties' existing indebtedness balance

         were incurred in connection with such refinancing.

         The interest expense on the Company's revolving line of credit
         borrowings and on borrowings under the Company's Acquisition Facility
         is calculated for the period indicated at an interest rate of LIBOR +
         1.75% and LIBOR + 2.0%, respectively. The interest rates reflected
         above represent the actual rates on the date of the borrowings. A
         0.125% change in the interest rate on all of the Company's variable
         rate indebtedness would increase the Company's pro forma interest
         expense by $99 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $132

         debenture discount and costs of $417 for the year ended December 31,
         1996).

(S)      Represents the weighted average of common shares and common stock
         equivalents outstanding during the period indicated. Common Stock
         equivalents include stock options which are considered dilutive for
         purposes of computing primary earnings per common share. Pro forma

          Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                  For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
                Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


1. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

On October 20, 1997, Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") acquired a
controlling general partner interest in a newly-formed California limited
partnership that owns the following two industrial properties: Eden Plaza/Eden
Industrial (collectively, the "Properties"). The Properties which contain 
approximately 501,000 leasable square feet and are located in Hayward, 
California was contributed to the new partnership by Eden Plaza Associates LP, 
the previous owners. The Company became the sole general partner in the new 
partnership in exchange for its cash contribution of approximately $3,977,000. 
The previous owners of Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial became limited partners in 
the new partnership and received 144,016 limited partnership units valued at 
$2,869,000 in exchange for their contribution of the Properties.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses presents the operations
of Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial, as defined above, for the year ended December 31,
1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (unaudited). The combined
statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in a Form
8-K filing).

Certain expenses that are dependent on the property owner and the cost basis of
the Properties have been excluded from the combined statement. The excluded
expenses consist primarily of depreciation and interest. Consequently, the
revenues in excess of certain expenses as presented in the combined statement
are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties' revenues and
expenses nor is it intended to be comparable to their proposed future
operations.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Properties are generally leased to tenants with lease terms which exceed 
one year and are accounted for as operating leases. Revenues from leases are 
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. 
Expense recoveries from tenants are recognized as income in the period the
related expenses are accrued.

    Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (continued)

                  For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
                Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Capitalization Policy

Recurring repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major
replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their useful
lives.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined statement in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the combined statement. Actual results could
differ from these estimates in the near term.

Tenant Concentration

At December 31, 1996, two tenants leased 56% of Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial's
leasable square footage. The rental income earned from each of these tenants
during the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $569,000 and $298,000,
respectively.

4. MANAGEMENT FEES

The Properties are managed by Intereal. Associates L.P. Management fees are 4%
of total income from the properties, as defined. For the year ended December 31,
1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial
incurred $101,000 and $76,000, respectively, in management fees. Intereal's role
as the property manager of Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial was terminated upon the
consummation of the Company's acquisition.

5. FUTURE MINIMUM LEASE RECEIVABLES

The Properties are leased to tenants under leases which expire at various dates
and contain provisions for rent increases based on cost of living indices.
Certain leases also contain renewal options. Minimum future lease payments to be
received from Eden Plaza/Eden Industrial under the terms of these operating
leases for each of the next five years ending December 31, are as follows:

                   INDUSTRIAL PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION PROPERTIES

          Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                  For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
                Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. (the "Company") has contracted to acquire Tower
Park, 611 Cerritos, Acacia Business Center and Valley View Business Center, four
industrial properties containing approximately 837,215 leasable square feet,
located in Orange County, California and Las Vegas, Nevada (the "Industrial
Portfolio Acquisition Properties"). The Company has entered into an agreement to
acquire the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition Properties from AMRESCO Southern
California, LLC, and MSC Valley View, Inc., affiliates of AMRESCO Advisors.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses presents the operations
of the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition Properties, as defined above, for the
year ended December 31, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
(unaudited). The combined statements have been prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in a Form 8-K filing).

Certain expenses that are dependent on the property owner and the cost basis of
the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition Properties have been excluded from the
combined statement. The excluded expenses consist primarily of depreciation,
interest. Consequently, the revenues in excess of certain expenses as presented
in the combined statement are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Industrial Portfolio Acquisition Properties' revenues and expenses nor is it
intended to be comparable to future operations.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Industrial Portfolio Acquisition Properties are generally leased to tenants
with lease terms which exceed one year which are accounted for as operating
leases. Revenues from leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the related leases. Expense recoveries from tenants are recognized as
income in the period the related Expenses are accrued.

    Notes to Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (continued)

                  For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
                Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Capitalization Policy

Recurring repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Major
replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their useful
lives.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined statement in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the combined statement. Actual results could
differ from these estimates in the near term.

Tenant Concentration

At December 31, 1996 four tenants leased 71% of the properties' leasable square
footage. The rental revenue earned from each of these tenants during the year
ended December 31, 1996 totaled $830,000, $677,000, $248,000 and $240,000,
respectively. 

4. MANAGEMENT FEES

During the period January 1, 1996 through February 28, 1997, the following
properties (Tower Park, 611 Cerritos and Acacia Business Center) were managed by
C.B. Commercial Group. Management fees were 2.5% of total income, as defined,
from these properties. Subsequent to February 28, 1997, these three
properties were managed by Sares-Regis Group. Management fees increased to 3% of
total income as defined, plus payroll and onsite costs. For the year ended
December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, Tower Park, 611
Cerritos and Acacia Business Center incurred $40,000 and $58,000, respectively,
in management fees.  

Valley View Business Center is managed by C.B. Commercial Group. Management fees
are 2.5% of total income, as defined, through August 31, 1997 and 3% of total
income thereafter. For the year ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, Valley View Business Center incurred $36,000 and
$33,000, respectively, in management fees.

Sares-Regis Group's role as the property manager of Tower Park, 611 Cerritos 
and Acacia Business Center and C.B. Commercial Group's role as the property 
manager of Valley View Business Center will terminate upon the Company's 
acquisition of the properties.

5. FUTURE MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS

The Industrial Portfolio Acquisition Properties are leased to tenants under
leases which expire at various dates and contain provisions for rent increases
based on cost of living indices. Certain leases also contain renewal options.
The minimum future lease payments to be received under the terms of these
operating leases for each of the next five years ending December 31, are as
follows:

                     MASTER CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AMENDMENT


                THIS MASTER CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (this "Amendment")
is made and entered into as of September 15, 1997, by and between Pacific Gulf
Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation ("PGP"), and Eden Plaza Associates, LLC,
a California limited liability company ("Eden").


                                    RECITALS

                A. PGP and Eden have entered into that certain Master
Contribution Agreement (the "Agreement"). The terms used in this Amendment and
not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given thereto in the Agreement.

                B. PGP and Eden desire to supplement and amend the Agreement as
hereinafter provided.

                                    AGREEMENT

                NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

                1. Debt Restructure. Anything contained in the Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the "Debt Restructure" (as defined in the Agreement)
may, at PGP's election which may be made in PGP's sole and absolute discretion,
consist of the following:

                    (a) the reduction of the Closing Cigna Debt by an amount to
be agreed upon by PGP and Cigna, not to exceed the amount set forth in Section
1.39(i) of the Agreement;

                    (b) the extension of the maturity date of the Cigna Debt to
a date after the Closing Date mutually agreed upon by PGP and Cigna;

                    (c) to the extent required by PGP, the agreement by Cigna
that all existing defaults under the Cigna Debt have been cured or waived;

                    (d) to the extent required by Cigna, the assumption of the
modified Cigna Debt by the Operating Partnership and, at Cigna's election,
either (i) the retention of Eden's liability for the modified Cigna Debt, or
(ii) the release of Eden's liability for the Cigna Debt combined with Eden's
guaranty of at least $12,000,000 of the modified Cigna Debt, which guaranty is
nonrecourse to the partners and members of Eden; and


<PAGE>   2
                    (e) such other terms and conditions as PGP may reasonably
approve. 

Eden and PGP have determined that restructuring the Cigna Debt on
substantially the terms set forth above will be acceptable if PGP elects to do
so. However, nothing contained herein shall obligate PGP to cause the Cigna Debt
to be so restructured and PGP retains the right to pursue any and all other
possible Debt Restructures, subject to the other provisions of the Agreement.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither party shall
be obligated to accept the Debt Restructure outlined above if such Debt
Restructure (i) does not provide that the debt shall be secured by the
Properties; or (ii) would result in less than $12,000,000 (including any
holdback described in the Agreement) of debt encumbering the Property at the
Closing.

                2. Eden Landing Certificate. Section 7.12(b) is deleted from the
Agreement.

                3. Closing. PGP and Eden each agree to work diligently and in
good faith to cause the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, but in
any event on or before the Outside Closing Date.

                4. Closing Costs. In the event the Debt Restructure outlined in
Section 1 above is implemented at the Closing, Eden's obligations to pay the
amounts described in Sections 9.5(a)(iv)(A) and 9.5(b) of the Agreement shall
survive the Closing and, to the extent applicable, apply to the first
refinancing of the modified Cigna Debt that occurs after the Closing; provided,
however, that in no event shall Eden be required to pay any amounts described in
such Sections of the Agreement that exceed the amounts Eden would have been
required to pay pursuant to those Sections if the Debt Restructure outlined in
Section 1 above had not been implemented.

                5. Exhibit B. In the event the Debt Restructure outlined in
Section 1 above is implemented at the Closing, Item 14 of Schedule B of the
Approved Title Form which is attached as Exhibit B to the Agreement shall be
deemed to refer to the recorded loan documents currently securing the Cigna
Debt, as modified.

                6. Exhibit P. The following revisions are made to the form of
the OP Agreement which is attached as Exhibit P to the Agreement:

                    (a) The words ", as amended," are added after the words
"Master Contribution Agreement" in Section 1.42 of the OP Agreement.

                    (b) In Section 4.2 of the OP Agreement, the existing clause
(b) is relettered to be clause (c) and the following new clause (b) is added ";
(b) financing, refinancing


                                       -2-

and paying off or down Partnership debt (subject to the limitations in Section
7.2 hereof;".

                7. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Amendment may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement with the same effect as if all parties had
signed the same signature page. This Amendment shall be deemed executed and
delivered upon each party's delivery of executed signature pages, which
signature pages may be delivered by facsimile with the same effect as delivery
of the originals.

                8. Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, the
Agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this
Amendment to be duly executed and delivered on its behalf as of the date first
above written.

share. In the event the average closing price for the common stock of PGP on the
New York Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the Determination Date is greater than $19.50 per share, then the PGP

for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the
Determination Date and $19.50 per share (the "Upper Differential"), and (iv)

York Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the Determination Date is $21.00, then the Upper Differential is
$21.00 - $19.50 = $1.50, and the PGP Share Price shall equal $18.50 + $.75 =

limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
under the laws of the State of California, and has the requisite power and
authority to own all the Properties and all of its assets and to carry on its
business as presently conducted.

      5.2   Authority Relative to this Agreement. Eden has obtained the approval
of the Transactions by all Eden Entities. Eden has taken all action necessary to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transactions and this
Agreement, and no other proceedings, consents or approvals are needed to

                                      -13-
<PAGE>   21
valid and binding agreement of Eden enforceable against Eden in accordance with
its terms.

      5.4   No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Eden
and the consummation of the Transactions will not result in or constitute any of
the following: (i) a default, breach, or violation, or an event that, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would be a default, breach, or violation, of

mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement, instrument or arrangement to which
Eden is a party or by which it or the Properties are bound; (ii) an event that

conflict with any term or provision of any judgment, decree, order, statute,
injunction, rule or regulation of a governmental unit applicable to Eden or the
Properties; or (iv) the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance on the Properties.

      5.5   Adequate Disclosure. All Eden Entities have been provided with, and
have given their consents and approvals on the basis of, disclosure materials
prepared by Eden, setting forth all relevant, material facts concerning Eden and
Properties, the Operating Partnership, and the Transactions, and (excluding any
statements of material fact made in such disclosure materials in reliance on
written information provided by PGP for inclusion in such disclosure materials)
none of such disclosures misstated any material facts or omitted to state any
material facts necessary to make the statements made, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

      5.6   Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for the Cigna Debt,
obligations under the Contracts and Leases, and liabilities arising in the
ordinary course, Eden has no material liabilities of any nature, whether matured
or unmatured, fixed or contingent, regardless of whether the disclosure thereof
would otherwise be required by generally accepted accounting principles, which
liabilities could or would remain with the Properties or be binding on PGP or
the Operating Partnership or which would have an adverse effect upon PGP, the
Operating Partnership or the Properties.

      5.7   Compliance with Laws/Certificates of Substandard Structure. Other

ownership and operation of the Properties; and (ii) all Licenses and
Entitlements required in connection with the construction, use, or occupancy of
the Properties have been obtained and are in full force and effect and in good
standing. The violations


                                      -14-
<PAGE>   22
referred to in the Eden Landing Certificate have been fully remedied.

      5.8   Environmental Matters. Except as expressly provided in the
Environmental Reports, (i) neither Eden nor, to the knowledge of Eden, any
previous owner or tenant or any other person, has engaged in or permitted any
operations or activities in any way involving the handling, manufacture,
treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in or about the Properties, or
transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Properties, except in
all cases in compliance with Environmental Requirements; and (ii) to Eden's
knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are presently constructed, deposited, stored,
or otherwise located on, under, in or about the Properties, except in all cases
in compliance with Environmental Requirements.

      5.9   Physical Condition. To Eden's knowledge, other than the Capital
Improvements, and other than as disclosed by the Corporate Avenue Certificate
and the Investment Blvd. Certificate, there are no structural defects or
deficiencies in the Improvements which individually or in the aggregate on a
Property by Property basis would have a material adverse effect on Eden or on
the value of any of the Properties. To Eden's knowledge, the Improvements and
Tangible Personal Property are in good working order and condition and are
sufficient to serve the needs of such Property. To Eden's knowledge all water,
sewer, gas, electric, telephone, and drainage facilities and all other utilities
required by law or by the normal use and operation of each of the Properties,
including, without limitation, waste water treatment facilities permanently
dedicated to and reserved for the Properties, are and at the time of Closing
will be installed to the property lines of the Land, are and at the time of

at the time of Closing will be adequate to service each of the Properties and to
permit compliance with all Laws.

      5.10  Leases. The Rent Roll for each Property is true, complete and

agreements affecting the occupancy of any of the Properties which would become

knowledge, it is in full force and effect; (iii) the copy thereof delivered by

thereunder and no event exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice or both, would become a default thereunder on the part of Eden, (v) to
Eden's knowledge, no other party thereto is in default thereunder, nor has any
event occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both,


                                      -15-
<PAGE>   23
would become a default thereunder, and (vi) each Lease may validly be assigned
to and assumed by the Operating Partnership, and any and all consents to such
assignment and assumption have been obtained by Eden.

      5.11  No Litigation or Adverse Events. There are no investigations,
actions, suits, proceedings or claims pending or, to the knowledge of Eden,
threatened against or affecting Eden or any of the Properties, at law or in
equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department, commission, board, agency, or instrumentality, domestic or foreign.
Other than the Certificates of Substandard Construction, Eden has not received
notice of any, and to Eden's knowledge, is not subject to any, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or federal, state, municipal or other
governmental agency or department, commission, board, agency or instrumentality.

      5.12  Contracts and Agreements. Eden shall terminate at or prior to
Closing all Contracts (other than Leases) affecting the Properties that are not

entering into a management agreement in connection with the Property
concurrently with Closing, and that no property management agreement or
agreements existing prior to Closing shall constitute Assumed Contracts. In the
event of the Closing of the purchase of the Property, Buyer shall not retain the
existing employees and management agents of Seller for the Property, and,
accordingly, on the Closing, Seller shall (i) cause all employment and
management agreements respecting the Property to be terminated, and deliver
evidence of such termination to Buyer, and (ii) remove all employees and
management personnel from the Property. On the Closing Date, there will be no
outstanding written or oral Contracts made by Eden in connection with the
Properties which in any way binds or affects PGP, the Property or the Operating
Partnership other than the Assumed Contracts and Leases. There are no Contracts
for any improvements to any of the Properties which have not been fully paid
for, and Eden shall cause to be discharged all mechanics' and materialmen's
liens, if any, arising from any labor or materials furnished to any of the
Properties prior to the Closing Date. As of Closing, Eden will terminate any
Contract that is not designated by PGP as an Assumed Contract, and pay all
unpaid fees, costs or expenses in connection with such Contracts, including such
fees, costs or expenses resulting from such termination. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Eden specifically acknowledges that Eden shall be
solely responsible for all unpaid fees, costs and expenses, and all termination
fees, costs and expenses, incurred in connection with any property management
agreement existing prior to Closing. With respect to each Assumed Contract: (i)
it has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto; (ii)
it is in full force and effect; (iii) the copy thereof delivered by Eden to PGP
is true and accurate and is unmodified; (iv) Eden is not in default thereunder
and no event


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   24
exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
become a default thereunder on the part of Eden, (v) to Eden's knowledge, no
other party thereto is in default thereunder, nor has any event occurred which,
with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would become a default
thereunder, and (vi) each Assumed Contract may validly be assigned to and
assumed by the Operating Partnership, and any and all consents to such
assignment and assumption have been obtained by Eden.

      5.13  No Other Agreements. To Eden's knowledge, there are no obligations
in connection with any of the Properties which will be binding upon PGP or the
Operating Partnership or affect the Properties after Closing and there are no
assessments or bonds assessed or proposed to be assessed, against any of the
Properties, except: (i) matters which are set forth in the Approved Title Form;
(ii) Assumed Contracts; and (iii) the Leases. To Eden's knowledge there are no
existing or proposed easements, covenants, restrictions, agreements or other
documents which affect title to any of the Properties and which are not
disclosed by the Approved Title Form.

      5.14  Non-Foreign Person. Eden is not a "foreign person" as such term is
defined in Section 1445(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
Eden is not subject to withholding under Section 26131 of the California Revenue
and Taxation Code.

      5.15  Employees. No employee of Eden in connection with any of the
Properties is covered by a collective bargaining agreement and there are no
retroactive increases or other accrued and unpaid sums owed to any such
employee. There is no labor trouble, dispute, grievance, controversy or strike
pending or, to Eden's knowledge, threatened against Eden and Eden does not know
of any basis for any such trouble, dispute, grievance, controversy or strike.

      5.16  Brokers. Eden has not employed any broker or finder, or incurred any
liability therefor, in connection with the Transactions other than BT Commercial
and Bressie & Co.

      5.17  Operating Statements. All operating statements and other financial
statements provided by Eden to PGP fully reflect the matters stated therein,
including operation of each of the Properties for the periods covered and, in
all material respects, accurately reflect all rents and other gross receipts,
and all amounts paid by Eden for electricity, water, sewer, other utility
services, insurance, fuel, maintenance and repairs (whether capitalized or
expended), real estate taxes, payroll and payroll taxes and all other operating
and other expenses associated with the Properties. Since the end of the latest
period covered by such financial statements, there have been no transactions or
occurrences materially affecting the operating expenses (or items thereof)
associated with the Properties. The


                                      -17-
<PAGE>   25
foregoing does not constitute a representation and warranty as to future income
or expenses of the Properties.

      5.18  Security Deposits. All Tenant security deposits are reflected on the
Rent Roll. There are no other deposits held by Eden in connection with any of
the Properties.

      5.19  Deposits and Reimbursements. All Deposits and Reimbursements are
reflected on Exhibit F.

      5.20  Bankruptcy. There are no attachments, executions or assignments for
the benefit of creditors, or voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy,
or under any other debtor relief laws, contemplated by or pending or threatened
against Eden or any Eden Entity. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, none of the following have been done by, against or with respect to
Eden or any Eden Entity: (i) the commencement of a case under Title 11 of the
U.S. Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or under any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy law of other similar law; (ii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver of any property interest; (iii) an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) an attachment, execution or other
judicial seizure of a substantial property interest; (v) the taking of, failure

or any information, statement or certificate furnished or to be furnished by or
on behalf of Eden pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the
Transactions contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading. All documents delivered by Eden to PGP or made available to PGP for
review in connection with the Transactions were at the time delivered or made
available, and will be at the time of Closing, true, correct and complete copies
of all such documents in Eden's possession or control. To Eden's knowledge, all
of Eden's files in connection with the Properties in its possession or control
were delivered to or made available to PGP for its review and there are no
documents required for a complete understanding of or which are otherwise of
significance in evaluating the Properties which are not contained in Eden's
files or which have not been delivered or made available to PGP.

      5.22  Prospectus. Eden, and each Eden Entity, has received and reviewed
that certain Prospectus of PGP dated May 29, 1997, that certain Prospectus
Supplement dated June 5, 1997, and that certain Registration Statement, filed

Prospectus Supplement are a part, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Act and has had access to such additional financial and
other information, including without limitation PGP's most current Form 10-Q and


                                      -18-
<PAGE>   26
Form 10-K, PGP's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders' and PGP's Notice of 1997
Annual Meeting of Shareholders and accompanying Proxy Statement, and has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of PGP, and to
receive answers to those questions, as they have deemed necessary in connection
with the Transactions.

      5.23  No Public Offering. Eden, and each Eden Entity, acknowledges that
the OP Units being acquired pursuant hereto are being acquired in a transaction
not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Act and that the OP
Units have not been registered under the Act and agrees not to offer, sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of the OP Units (except for such transfers as
described in Section 5.25, below) in the absence of registration under the Act
unless Eden delivers to the Operating Partnership and PGP an opinion of a lawyer
reasonably satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and PGP, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and PGP, to the effect that
the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without
registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky
laws. Eden acknowledges that the OP Units, to the extent in the form of physical
certificates, will bear a legend to the following effect:

      "NEITHER THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS IN THE PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTED BY
      THIS CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT NOR ANY PART THEREOF OR INTEREST THEREIN
      HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (the
      'ACT'), AND NEITHER MAY BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED,
      HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNLESS SUCH
      TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION
      COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF
      PGP NORTHERN INDUSTRIAL, L.P., AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (A COPY OF
      WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE PARTNERSHIP); AND, IN ALL EVENTS, NO TRANSFER,
      SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE
      LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (OR ANY SECURITY
      ISSUED ON ACCOUNT HEREOF OR WITH RESPECT HERETO) MAY BE MADE UNLESS THE
      PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL
      AND OPINION BOTH MUST BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE PARTNERSHIP IN ITS SOLE
      DISCRETION) FOR THE HOLDER THAT, BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABILITY OF AN
      EXEMPTION, NO SUCH REGISTRATION, QUALIFICATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE IS
      REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT, APPLICABLE BLUE SKY OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
      OTHERWISE."

      5.24  Knowledge and Experience. Eden and each Eden Entity is either (a) an
      "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
      under the Act, or (b) a person who either alone or with his, her or its
      purchaser representative (as defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D under
      the Act) has such


                                      -19-
<PAGE>   27
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the OP Units or
any other security acquired hereunder. Eden and each Eden Entity has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating alone, or together with his, her or its purchaser representative or
personal advisor the merits and risks of an investment in the OP Units or any
other security delivered hereunder and protecting his, her or its own interests
in connection with the investment and has obtained, in his, her or its judgment,
alone, or together with his, her or its purchaser representative or personal
advisor sufficient information from PGP to evaluate the merits and risks of an
investment in the OP Units or any other security delivered hereunder. Eden and
each Eden Entity acknowledges that he, she, or it has the financial ability to
bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment in the OP Units, has
adequate means for providing for his, her or its current needs and personal
contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to the investment in
the OP Units. If other than an individual, Eden and each Eden Entity has not
been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the OP Units or other
security acquired under this Agreement.

      5.25  No Distribution. Although Eden may elect to transfer the OP Units to
its constituent Eden Entities, and those constituent Eden Entities may, in turn,
elect to transfer the OP Units to their respective constituent Eden Entities,
they are not acquiring any OP Units with a view to the distribution of the OP
Units or any present intention of offering or selling any of the OP Units in a
transaction that would violate the Act or the securities laws of any State or
any other applicable jurisdiction.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                        COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF EDEN

               Eden hereby covenants and agrees as follows.

      6.1   Actions Affecting Properties. Eden shall not initiate or solicit any
inquiries or offers with respect to, and shall not agree to, sell, assign,
lease, pledge, transfer or encumber any of the Properties, or enter into any
other consent, commitment, understanding or other agreement, or incur any
obligation or liability (contingent or absolute) with respect to any of the
Properties, or merge or consolidate with or into any other entity or enter into
any agreements relating thereto. Eden shall not make any material commitments or
representations to any applicable government authorities, any adjoining or
surrounding property owners, any civic association, any utility or any other
similar person or entity that would in any manner be binding upon PGP, the
Operating Partnership or the Properties without PGP's prior written consent in
each case. Eden shall use diligent


                                      -20-
<PAGE>   28
efforts to avoid knowingly committing or permitting to occur, any action which
will result in a violation of any Law between the date hereof and the Closing.

      6.2   Access to Properties and Records; Contact with Officials. Upon
reasonable notice and during regular business hours, Eden shall give PGP, and
authorized representatives of PGP, full access to Eden's personnel, properties,
documents, contracts, facilities, books, equipment and records and to the
Properties. In addition, Eden authorizes PGP to make all inquiries with and
applications to any third party, including any governmental authority, as PGP
deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the completion of the
Transactions and satisfaction of the PGP Conditions Precedent, including,
without limitation, the negotiation of an extension of time to comply with the
Certificates of Substandard Structure; provided, however, that PGP shall have no
power or authority to bind Eden or any of the Properties prior to the Closing
without Eden's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding Eden's agreement that PGP may make such
inquiries and applications, Eden agrees to fully and promptly cooperate in such
inquiries and applications to the extent requested by PGP and to promptly
provide all information, and upon five (5) business days notice to execute and
deliver such documents, as reasonably requested by PGP.

      6.3   License and Entitlements. Through the Closing, Eden shall maintain
all Licenses and Entitlements in full force and effect, shall file timely all
reports, statements, renewal applications and other filings, and shall pay
timely all fees and charges in connection therewith that are required to keep
the Licenses and Entitlements in full force and effect.

      6.4   No Extraordinary Transactions. Until the Closing Eden will conduct
its business in the ordinary and usual course as such business was conducted
prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, using diligent efforts
to lease any vacant space in the Improvements to creditworthy tenants at market
rates and terms; provided, however, that Eden shall not engage in any
extraordinary transactions without PGP's prior written consent. Extraordinary
transactions shall include, without limitation, the sale of any real property or
any material asset, increase in compensation of any employees, implementation,
modification or termination of any plan for the benefit of employees, issuance
of any options, warrants or securities, borrowing of any funds under existing
credit arrangements or otherwise, entering into any new contract or agreement
(or extending, terminating or modifying any existing contract or agreement)
unless such is cancelable by Eden (and after the Closing, by the Operating
Partnership) in their discretion on a maximum of thirty (30) days' notice.
Extraordinary transactions shall also include entering into any new lease,
occupancy agreement or other similar agreement of all or any portion of the
Properties or extending, terminating, amending or supplementing


                                      -21-
<PAGE>   29
any existing Lease. Should Eden wish to engage in any extraordinary transaction,
Eden shall provide written notice thereof to PGP in detail sufficient to allow
PGP to evaluate the merits of the proposed transaction. PGP shall be deemed to
have approved the proposed transaction unless within ten (10) days of PGP's
receipt of such written notice PGP has provided Eden with a written response
setting forth in reasonable detail PGP's reasons for disapproving the proposed
transaction. In addition, Eden authorizes PGP to independently conduct such
discussions and negotiations with existing and prospective Tenants and others as
PGP deems necessary or appropriate to implement any extraordinary transaction;
provided, however, that PGP shall have no power or authority to bind Eden or any
of the Properties prior to the Closing without Eden's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any request
for consent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be responded to by Eden in
writing within ten (10) days after Eden's receipt thereof, and any failure by
Eden to so respond shall be deemed to constitute Eden's consent to the request.
Extraordinary transactions shall not include the Debt Restructure.

      6.5   Debt Restructure. PGP has received a proposal from Trowbridge,
Kieselhorst & Company, Inc. in a letter to Lonnie Nadal dated May 27, 1997
regarding restructuring the Cigna Debt, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit O (the "Cigna Restructure Proposal"). Eden and PGP have determined that
restructuring the Cigna Debt (either through modifying the terms of the existing
Cigna Debt or refinancing the existing Cigna Debt with a new loan from Cigna) on
substantially the terms reflected in the Cigna Restructure Proposal is
acceptable. However, PGP may also determine that another lending institution
other than Cigna may be willing to provide financing for the Properties (thereby
replacing the Cigna Debt with a new loan from a new lender) on terms which, in
the aggregate, are more favorable to the Operating Partnership than those
available from Cigna. Eden authorizes PGP to conduct such discussions and
negotiations with Cigna and other potential lenders as PGP deems necessary or
appropriate to finalize the Cigna Restructure Proposal or obtain such
alternative financing, and to review and negotiate loan documents prepared by
Cigna or another lender to implement the Cigna Restructure Proposal or such
other financing (collectively, the "Debt Restructure Documents"), such that the
Cigna Debt will be restructured or refinanced by either Cigna or another lender
concurrently with Closing on terms acceptable to PGP in its sole and absolute
discretion (the "Debt Restructure"); provided, however, that PGP shall have no
power or authority to bind Eden or any of the Properties prior to Closing
without Eden's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, neither party shall be obligated to accept the Debt Restructure
if the Debt Restructure (a) does not provide that the debt shall be guaranteed
in an amount equal to $12,000,000 by Eden, but without recourse to the partners
or members of Eden; (b) does not provide that the debt shall be


                                      -22-
<PAGE>   30
secured by the Properties; or (c) would result in less than $12,000,000
(including any holdback hereinafter described) of debt encumbering the Property
at the Closing; provided, however that the Debt Restructure may result in funds
being held back by the lender to pay for capital improvements, deferred
maintenance and/or seismic retrofit or compliance as the lender may require.
Notwithstanding Eden's agreement that PGP may conduct such discussions and
negotiations to reach final agreement with Cigna or another lender regarding the
Debt Restructure, Eden agrees to fully and promptly cooperate in such
discussions and negotiations with Cigna and other potential lenders to the
extent requested by PGP and to promptly provide all information, and to execute
such Debt Restructure Documents as requested by PGP, Cigna or such other lender.
In connection with the Debt Restructure, the Operating Partnership will also
execute such documentation as is necessary to implement the Debt Restructure. In
the event notwithstanding the good faith efforts of Eden and PGP, the Debt
Restructure cannot be accomplished in accordance with the foregoing and the Debt
Restructure Documents cannot be executed, delivered and recorded, as applicable,
concurrently with the Closing, then Eden and/or PGP may, in its sole and
absolute discretion terminate this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated
hereby, without any liability or further obligation whatsoever to the other.

      6.6   Insurance. Through the Closing, Eden shall maintain in full force
and effect substantially the same public liability and casualty insurance
coverage now in effect with respect to each of the Properties, at its own
expense.

      6.7   Taxes and Assessments. Eden shall pay or discharge before delinquent
all tax liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, those for
federal, state or local income, property, unemployment, withholding, sales, use
and other taxes that are payable prior to the Closing Date.

      6.8   Operation of Properties. Eden shall continue to operate and maintain
the Properties in the ordinary course of its business, consistent with past
practice, and will maintain the Properties in substantially their present order
and condition, and deliver the Properties on the Closing in substantially the
same condition it was on the date this Agreement was executed by PGP, reasonable
wear and tear excepted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no
fixtures, equipment or other Personal Property shall be removed from the
Properties unless prior to the Closing Date the same are replaced with similar
items of at least equal quality and value.

     6.9   Compliance With Hayward Resolution. On or prior to Closing, Eden
shall cause the recordation of a quitclaim deed (the "Quitclaim Deed") by the
City Manager of the City of Hayward, a municipal corporation, pursuant to
Resolution No. 94-222 of the Hayward City Council, adopted October 11, 1994, a
certified copy of which was recorded December 19, 1994, as Series


                                      -23-
<PAGE>   31
No. 94-386958 in the Official Records of Alameda County, California.

      6.10  Closing Information. Five (5) business days prior to Closing, Eden
shall deliver to PGP a current Rent Roll for each Property.

      6.11  Tax and Securities Issues. Eden acknowledges that: (i) all state and
federal income tax considerations, issues, analyses, and consequences relevant
to Eden and/or the Eden Entities ("Tax Issues"), and (ii) all state and federal
securities law considerations, issues, analyses, and consequences relevant to
Eden and/or the Eden Entities ("Securities Issues"), are solely the
responsibility of Eden and/or the Eden Entities. It is further acknowledged that
neither PGP nor the Operating Partnership or the agents or representatives
(including legal counsel and accountants) of PGP or the Operating Partnership
has provided advice, representations, or guidance to Eden and/or any Eden Entity
regarding the Tax Issues or the Securities Issues, and neither Eden, nor any
Eden Entity has relied or will rely on PGP or the Operating Partnership or the
agents or representatives of such parties with regard thereto, but instead will
rely on their own securities, tax, business and legal advisors therefor and with
respect thereto. Nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall preclude reliance
by Eden or any Eden Entity on public documents, reports and registration
statements filed by PGP under the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to
the same extent as the general public. PGP has not provided Eden, or any Eden
Entity, and neither Eden nor any Eden Entity may rely on, any non-public
information. Nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall apply to limit the
obligations of PGP or the Operating Partnership to Eden or the Eden Entities
with respect to the operation of the Operating Partnership subsequent to the
Closing.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                           PGP's CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

also constitutes a breach or default by Eden, the identification of any of the
foregoing as a condition precedent shall not limit or diminish in any way PGP's
rights or remedies on account of such breach or default.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

extent PGP pays or otherwise gives Eden credit for Commissions and/or Qualifying
Eden Closing Costs, such payments or credits by PGP shall reduce the Eden

arrearages. Eden shall be permitted to pursue


                                      -29-
<PAGE>   37
its remedies for collection of any rent arrearages applicable to the period
prior to the Closing Date, provided that neither PGP nor the Operating
Partnership shall incur any cost, expense or liability in connection therewith,
but Eden shall not be permitted to enforce any other legal or equitable remedies
specifically including commencing eviction procedures.

            (c)   Leasing Costs. Eden shall either pay as of the Closing Date or
be charged with all leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs and
allowances, if any, in connection with any Lease either executed on or before
the Opening of Escrow, or executed after the Opening of Escrow unless approved
by PGP pursuant to Section 6.4, whether due or to become due before or after the
Closing Date. With respect to any such commission, cost or allowance due in
connection with a Lease entered into after the Opening of Escrow but prior to
Closing and which has been approved by PGP pursuant to Section 6.4, such
commission, cost or allowance shall be prorated between Eden and the Operating
Partnership based on the number of months of the lease term prior to the Closing
Date and number of months of the lease term after the Closing Date and prior to
the end of the "No Sale Period" (as defined in the OP Agreement), exclusive of
any un-exercised options to renew or extend the term.

            (d)   Security Deposits. Eden shall deliver to the Operating
Partnership in cash at Closing the sum of all security deposits or other
deposits paid by Tenants under any Leases, and any interest earned thereon which
by law or the terms of such Leases are or could become refundable to tenants
(collectively, "Security Deposits").

            (e)   Utility Charges. Eden shall cause all the utility meters at
each of the Properties to be read on the Closing Date, and will be responsible
for the cost of all utilities used prior to the Closing Date not specifically
payable by tenants.

            (f)   Real Estate Taxes and Special Assessments. All unpaid real
estate taxes, special assessments, bonds and personal property taxes payable for
all calendar years prior to the year in which Closing occurs (together with
interest thereon) shall be paid by Eden at or prior to the Closing. Unpaid
general real estate taxes, special assessments, bonds and personal property
taxes payable on account of the calendar year in which Closing occurs (but no
prior calendar year) shall be prorated between Eden and the Operating
Partnership as of the Closing Date.

            (g)   Shared Expenses. Eden shall pay to PGP through escrow at the
Closing the net amount due from Eden to PGP on account of the Shared Expenses
pursuant to Section 9.7 below.

            (h)   Other Apportionments. Amounts payable under the Assumed
Contracts, annual or periodic permit and/or


                                      -30-
<PAGE>   38
inspection fees (calculated on the basis of the period covered), and liability
for other Property operation and maintenance expenses and other recurring costs
shall be apportioned as of the day following the Closing Date. Effective upon
the Closing, Eden shall cancel all insurance it maintains on the Properties, and
premiums on any policy of insurance maintained by Eden in connection with the
Properties shall not be prorated.

            (i)   Preliminary Closing Adjustment. Eden and PGP shall jointly
prepare and approve a preliminary Closing adjustment on the basis of the Leases,
Assumed Contracts and other sources of income and expenses, and shall deliver
such computation to Escrow Holder prior to Closing.

            (j)   Post-Closing Reconciliation. If any of the aforesaid
prorations cannot be definitely calculated on the Closing Date, then they shall
be estimated at the Closing and definitely calculated as soon after the Closing
Date as feasible, but in any event within forty five (45) days after the Closing
Date. As soon as the necessary information is available, the Operating
Partnership and Eden shall conduct a post-Closing review to determine the
accuracy of all prorations made pursuant to this Agreement (the "Post-Closing
Review"). Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such
subsequent proration(s) or the Post-Closing Review shall promptly pay said sum
to the other party, together with interest thereon at the rate of two percent
(2%) over the "prime rate" (as announced from time to time in the Wall Street
Journal) per annum from the Closing Date to the date of payment if payment is
not made within ten (10) days after delivery of a bill therefor.

            (k)   Payment of Qualifying Eden Closing Costs. The foregoing to the
contrary notwithstanding, PGP agrees to pay or give Eden credit for Qualifying
Eden Closing Costs which would otherwise be payable by or charged to Eden, and
the Eden Capital Contribution shall be reduced, and the PGP Capital Contribution
shall be increased, on account thereof.

      9.4   Deposits and Reimbursements. Eden shall receive credit for, but
shall not be entitled to the return of, any Deposits and Reimbursements, all of
which shall remain in place for the benefit of the Operating Partnership with
such utility companies, bonding or surety companies or other governmental or
private body.

      9.5   Closing Costs.

            (a)   Eden shall pay for (i) an as-built survey of each Property in
a form sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue an ALTA Owner's Policy of
Title Insurance in accordance with the Approved Title Form, provided, however,
the maximum amount Eden shall pay, in the aggregate, for such surveys shall be
Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500), (ii) the premium for the Title
Policy (but only to the extent of the cost of a


                                      -31-
<PAGE>   39
standard California Land Title Association Owner's Policy of Title Insurance)
and the cost of such CLTA endorsements as may be reasonably requested by PGP,
(iii) any county documentary transfer taxes applicable to the contribution of
the Properties, and (iv) recording fees in connection with the release of (A)
any monetary encumbrance affecting the Properties, (B) any Certificate of
Substandard Structure, and (C) the Quitclaim Deed in connection with Resolution
No. 94-222 of the Hayward City Council. PGP shall pay any additional costs to
obtain the Title Policy in ALTA extended coverage form, any costs of the surveys
in excess of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500), and any escrow fees
and costs and recording fees (other than recording fees in connection with the
release of any monetary encumbrance affecting the Properties, which shall be
paid by Eden). Sales tax (if any), and any city or state documentary transfer
taxes applicable to the contribution of the Properties, shall be paid fifty
percent (50%) by PGP and fifty percent (50%) by Eden. All other costs and
charges of the escrow not otherwise provided for in this Agreement shall be
allocated in accordance with the closing customs for Alameda County. The
foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Closing occurs, PGP
agrees, to the extent requested by Eden, to pay or give Eden credit for any of
the foregoing costs or expenses which are Qualifying Eden Closing Costs which
would otherwise be payable by or charged to Eden. The Eden Capital Contribution
shall be reduced, and the PGP Capital Contribution shall be increased, to the
extent of any such payment by PGP and/or credit given to Eden.

            (b)   Except as provided in section 9.5(c), below, Eden shall be
responsible for all costs incurred in connection with the prepayment or
satisfaction of any loan or bond secured by any of the Properties, provided that
any such cost is commercially reasonable and normally incurred in the prepayment
or satisfaction of similar loans or bonds, or otherwise provided in the
applicable loan or bond documents.

            (c)   The Operating Partnership shall be responsible for all costs
incurred in connection with the Debt Restructure, including, without limitation,
any title insurance costs, legal fees of Cigna's or other lender's counsel and
other fees, costs or expenses in connection with the Debt Restructure.

      9.6   Eden Brokerage Commission. If, and only if, Closing occurs, PGP will
pay through escrow the Commissions otherwise payable by Eden in connection with
the Transactions in the amount of $195,000 payable to BT Commercial and $195,000
payable to Bressie & Co and the Eden Capital Contribution shall be reduced, and
the PGP Capital Contribution shall be increased, on account thereof. In the
event the commission or fees payable to BT Commercial or Bressie & Co. in
connection with the Transactions exceed such amounts, then Eden shall pay such
excess. Eden shall not be credited with a capital contribution or other advance
to the Operating Partnership in connection with


                                      -32-
<PAGE>   40
payment of such excess, and neither PGP nor the Operating Partnership will be
obligated to pay or reimburse Eden for the amount of such excess. In the event
that any broker or finder other than BT Commercial or Bressie & Co. claims a
commission or finder's fee based upon any contact, dealings or communication,
the party through whom the broker or finder makes its claim shall be responsible
for said commission or fee and all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the other party in defending
against the same. The party through whom any other broker or finder makes a
claim shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend the other party hereto, its
successors and assigns, agents, employees, officers and directors, and the
Property from and against any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, demands,
liens, encumbrances and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees),
whether direct, contingent or consequential, arising out of, based on, or
incurred as a result of such claim. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

      9.7   Shared Expenses.

            (a)   PGP, on the one hand, and Eden, on the other hand, agree to
share equally all fees, costs and expenses (including legal and accounting)
incurred in connection with the negotiation, drafting and completion of the Term
Sheet dated November 13, 1996 in connection with the Transactions. The foregoing
fees, costs and expenses are referred to collectively as the "Shared Expenses".

separate liability and obligation of the respective incurring parties), among
other things, the following: (i) PGP's and/or Eden's costs, fees, and expenses
associated with its due diligence review of the Properties, (ii) PGP's and/or
Eden's costs, fees, and expenses associated with the analysis of the tax,
economic, securities law compliance or other impact of the Transactions upon any
of the Eden Entities, and (iii) PGP's and/or Eden's costs, fees, and expenses
associated with soliciting and obtaining any consents or approvals for the

operating statements for the Properties referred to in Section 7.11 above, the
cost of which shall be paid by PGP through a capital contribution to the
Operating Partnership.

(including both Eden's and PGP's legal and accounting) incurred in connection
with the negotiation, drafting and completion of the OP Agreement, this Master
Contribution Agreement and the conveyancing documents prepared in connection
therewith, and the Exchange Rights Agreement shall be expenses of


                                      -33-
<PAGE>   41
the Operating Partnership. Any expense that is excluded from the definition of
Shared Expenses in Section (a), above, shall not be an expense of the Operating
Partnership.

            (c)   In the event the Closing does not occur due to the breach or
default by Eden, or any act or omission within the control of Eden, then
notwithstanding the provisions of Sections (a) and (b), above, Eden agrees to
pay all costs and expenses incurred by PGP (including legal and accounting) in
connection with the negotiation, due diligence, documentation and the like
relating to the Transactions. In the event the Closing does not occur due to the
breach or default of PGP, or any act or omission within the control of PGP,
then, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections (a) and (b), above, PGP agrees
to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Eden in connection with the
Transactions. In the event this Agreement is terminated due to the failure of a
Condition Precedent which does not result from an act or omission within the
control of any party hereto, and absent any breach or default by any of the
parties hereto, then the provisions of (a) above shall apply, and the fees,
costs and expenses described in Section (b), above, shall be deemed to be Shared
Expenses and shall be shared equally by PGP and Eden in accordance with Section
(a) above as though fully set forth therein.

      9.8   Possession. At Closing, Eden shall deliver possession of the
Properties to the Operating Partnership (subject to the rights of Tenants under

holding of security deposits, all in conformity with the requirements of
California Civil Code Section 1950.5(g)(1). If the notice to the Tenant is made
by personal delivery, the Tenant shall acknowledge receipt of the notice and
sign his or her name on Eden's copy of the notice.

      9.10  Reporting Requirements. The Escrow Holder shall comply with all
applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements
relating to the close of the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement involve a real estate transaction within the purview of Section
6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue
Code"), Escrow Holder shall have sole responsibility to comply with the
requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code (and any similar
requirements imposed by state or local law). For purposes hereof, Seller's tax
identification number is 33-0404407. Escrow

      11.10 Exhibits. All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein as
though fully set forth herein.

      11.11 Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the

taken such other or further action as either party shall reasonably request at
any time or from time to time in order to consummate the terms and provisions
and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

      11.12 Risk of Loss. In the event of any of loss or damage to all or any
part of any individual Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing
that PGP reasonably believes could be in excess of $50,000 on that Property, or
which materially impedes access to such Property, then notwithstanding the
existence of any casualty insurance, PGP shall have the option in its sole
discretion to: (i) terminate this Agreement in its entirety; or (ii) continue
this Agreement, whereupon Eden shall assign to the Operating Partnership all
available insurance and will pay to the Operating Partnership any deductible
amount thereunder (or such deductible amount shall reduce the Base Value of the
Properties in determining the Eden Capital Contribution and any cost thereof
paid by PGP shall increase the PGP Capital Contribution). The provisions of
subsection (ii), above, shall


                                      -38-
<PAGE>   46
apply (and survive Closing) in the event of any loss or damage in an amount less
than $50,000.

      11.13 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be
executed in as many counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary
that the signatures of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signatures of
all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart, but it shall
be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, appear on one
or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a
single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to
produce or account for more than a number of counterparts containing the
respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereof.

      11.14 No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of any party hereto in
exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or under any other
instrument or document given in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement
shall impair any such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of
any default or any acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any
such right, power or privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such
right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be valid against any party hereto
unless made in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such
waiver is sought and then only to the extent expressly specified herein.

      11.15 Legal Representation. Each party has been represented by legal
counsel in connection with the negotiation of the Transactions and the drafting
and negotiation of this Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein.
Cox, Castle & Nicholson, LLP ("CCN") has represented solely PGP, and Leland,
Parachini, Steinberg, Matzger & Melnick, LLP has represented solely Eden, in
connection with the Transactions, any other agreements previously existing among
the parties relating to the Transactions, this Agreement, all exhibits hereto
and all agreements referred to herein. CCN has not provided legal services to or
been legal counsel for the Operating Partnership, Eden, any Eden Entity and none
of the foregoing has relied on CCN in that regard. The normal rule of
construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

      11.16 REIT. PGP is qualified as a real estate investment trust under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, by reason
thereof, the maintaining of such status and the avoiding of any activity which
might cause a penalty tax to be applied is of material concern to PGP. Eden also
acknowledges that PGP's status as a real estate investment trust also inures to
the benefit of Eden, and not just PGP. Accordingly, Eden agrees to make any
modifications or amendments to this Agreement requested by PGP prior to Closing
that may be


                                      -39-
<PAGE>   47
necessary for PGP to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust or in
order for it to avoid a penalty tax; provided, however, that Eden shall have no
obligation to enter into any such modification or amendment that would
materially alter or affect, in Eden's sole judgment, Eden's rights, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement. If Eden declines to modify or amend this
Agreement for any reason in a manner which PGP determines, in the good faith
exercise of its reasonable business judgment, is necessary to maintain its
status as a real estate investment trust or avoid a penalty tax, PGP shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Eden prior
to Closing and thereafter shall have no liability or further obligation
whatsoever to Eden.

      11.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its exhibits and the
other documents and agreements referred to herein, are intended by the parties
as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in
respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no
covenants, agreements, promises, warranties or understandings other than those
set forth or referred to herein, with respect to such subject matter. This
Agreement, together with its exhibits and the other documents and agreements
referred to herein, supersede all prior agreements and


                                      -40-
<PAGE>   48
understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement
to be duly executed and delivered on its behalf as of the date first above
written.

                           CONDITIONS AND STIPULATIONS

1.       DEFINITION OF TERMS

         The following terms when used in this policy mean:

         (a) "insured": the insured named in Schedule A, and, subject to any
rights or defenses the Company may have had against the named insured, those who
succeed to the interest of such insured by operation of law as distinguished
from purchase including, but not limited to, heirs, distributees, devisees,
survivors, personal representatives, next of kin, or corporate or fiduciary
successors.

         (b) "insured claimant": an insured claiming loss or damage hereunder.

         (c) "knowledge": actual knowledge, not constructive knowledge or notice
which may be imputed to an insured by reason of any public records.

         (d) "land": the land described, specifically or by reference in
Schedule A, and improvements affixed thereto which by law constitute real
property; provided, however, the term "land" does not include any property
beyond the lines of the area specifically described or referred to in Schedule
A, nor any right, title, interest, estate or easement in abutting streets,
roads, avenues, alleys, lanes, ways or waterways, but nothing herein shall
modify or limit the extent to which a right of access to and from the land is
insured by this policy.

         (e) "mortgage": mortgage, deed of trust, trust deed, or other security
instrument.

         (f) "public records": those records which by law impart constructive
notice of matters relating to said land.

2.       CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE AFTER CONVEYANCE OF TITLE

         The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of
Policy in favor of an insured so long as such insured retains an estate or
interest in the land, or holds an indebtedness secured by a purchase money
mortgage given by a purchaser from such insured, or so long as such insured
shall have liability by reason of covenants of warranty made by such insured in
any transfer or conveyance of such estate or interest; provided, however, this
policy shall not continue in force in favor of any purchaser from such insured
of either said estate or interest or the indebtedness secured by a purchase
money mortgage given to such insured.

3.       DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION OF ACTIONS---NOTICE OF CLAIM TO BE GIVEN BY AN
         INSURED CLAIMANT

         (a) The Company, at its own cost and without undue delay, shall provide
for the defense of an insured in all litigation consisting of actions or
proceedings commenced against such insured, or a defense interposed against an
insured in an action to enforce a contract for a sale of the estate or interest
in said land, to the extent that such litigation is founded upon an alleged
defect, lien, encumbrance, or other matter insured against by this policy.

         (b) The insured shall notify the Company promptly in writing (i) in
case any action or proceeding is begun or defense is interposed as set forth in
(a) above, (ii) in case knowledge shall come to an insured hereunder of any
claim of title or interest which is adverse to the title to the estate or
interest, as insured, and which might cause loss or damage for which the Company
may be liable by virtue of this policy, or (iii) if title to the estate or
interest, as insured, is rejected as unmarketable. If such prompt notice shall
not be given to the Company, then as to such insured all liability of the
Company shall cease and terminate in regard to the matter or matters for which
such prompt notice is required; provided, however, that failure to notify shall
in no case prejudice the rights of any such insured under this policy unless the
Company shall be prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such
prejudice.


         (c) The Company shall have the right at its own cost to institute and
without undue delay prosecute any action or proceeding or to do any other act
which in its opinion may be necessary or desirable to establish the title to the
estate or interest as insured, and the Company may take any appropriate action
under the terms of this policy, whether or not it shall be liable thereunder,
and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any provision of this policy.

         (d) Whenever the Company shall have brought any action or interposed a
defense as required or permitted by the provisions of this policy, the Company
may pursue any such litigation to final determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction and expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appeal
from any adverse judgment or order.

         (e) In all cases where this policy permits or requires the Company to
prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or proceeding, the insured
hereunder shall secure to the Company the right to so prosecute or provide
defense in such action or proceeding, and all appeals therein, and permit the
Company to use, at its option, the name of such insured for such purpose.
Whenever requested by the Company, such insured shall give the Company all
reasonable aid in any such action or proceeding, in effecting settlement,
securing evidence, obtaining witnesses, or prosecuting or defending such action
or proceeding, and the Company shall reimburse such insured for any expense so
incurred.

4.       NOTICE OF LOSS---LIMITATION OF ACTION

         In addition to the notices required under paragraph 3(b) of these
Conditions and Stipulations, a statement in writing of any loss or damage for
which it is claimed the Company is liable under this policy shall be furnished
to the Company within 90 days after such loss or damage shall have been
determined and no right of action shall accrue to an insured claimant until 30
days after such statement shall have been furnished. Failure to furnish such
statement of loss or damage shall terminate any liability of the Company under
this policy as to such loss or damage.

5.       OPTIONS TO PAY OR OTHERWISE SETTLE CLAIMS

         The Company shall have the option to pay or otherwise settle for or in
the name of an insured claimant any claim insured against or to terminate all
liability and obligations of the Company hereunder by paying or tendering
payment of the amount of insurance under this policy together with any costs,
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred up to the time of such payment or tender
of payment, by the insured claimant and authorized by the Company.

6.       DETERMINATION AND PAYMENT OF LOSS

         (a) The liability of the Company under this policy shall in no case
exceed the least of:

         (i) the actual loss of the insured claimant; or

         (ii) the amount of insurance stated in Schedule A.

         (b) The Company will pay, in addition to any loss insured against by
this policy, all costs imposed upon an insured in litigation carried on by the
Company for such insured, and all costs, attorneys' fees and expenses in
litigation carried on by such insured with the written authorization of the
Company.

         (c) When liability has been definitely fixed in accordance with the
conditions of this policy, the loss or damage shall be payable within 30 days
thereafter.

7.       LIMITATION OF LIABILITY


         No claim shall arise or be maintainable under this policy (a) if the
Company, after having received notice of an alleged defect, lien or encumbrance
insured against hereunder, by litigation or otherwise, removes such defect, lien
or encumbrance or establishes the title, as insured, within a reasonable time
after receipt of such notice; (b) in the event of litigation until there has
been a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, and disposition
of all appeals therefrom, adverse to the title, as insured, as provided in
paragraph 3 hereof; or (c) for liability voluntarily assumed by an insured in
settling any claim or suit without prior written consent of the Company.

8.       REDUCTION OF LIABILITY

         All payments under this policy, except payments made for costs,
attorneys' fees and expenses, shall reduce the amount of the insurance pro
tanto. No payment shall be made without producing this policy for endorsement of
such payment unless the policy be lost or destroyed, in which case proof of such
loss or destruction shall be furnished to the satisfaction of the Company.

9.       LIABILITY NONCUMULATIVE

         It is expressly understood that the amount of insurance under this
policy shall be reduced by any amount the Company may pay under any policy
insuring either (a) a mortgage shown or referred to in Schedule B hereof which
is a lien on the estate or interest covered by this policy, or (b) a mortgage
hereafter executed by an insured which is a charge or lien on the estate or
interest described or referred to in Schedule A, and the amount so paid shall be
deemed a payment under this policy. The Company shall have the option to apply
to the payment of any such mortgages any amount that otherwise would be payable
hereunder to the insured owner of the estate or interest covered by this policy
and the amount so paid shall be deemed a payment under this policy to said
insured owner.

1.       The Company insures the Insured against loss or damage sustained by
         reason of any incorrectness in the assurance that, at Date of Policy:

         (a)      According to applicable zoning ordinances and amendments
                  thereto, the land is classified Zone I (INDUSTRIAL).

         (b)      The following use or uses are allowed under that
                  classification subject to compliances with any conditions,

                  to the securing of necessary consents or authorizations as a
                  prerequisite to the use or uses.

2.       The Company further insures against loss or damage arising from a final
         decree of a court of competent jurisdiction:

         (a)      prohibiting the use of the land, with any structure presently
                  located thereon, as specified in paragraph 1(b); or

         (b)      requiring the removal or alteration of the structure on the
                  basis that, at Date of Policy, the ordinances and amendments
                  thereto have been violated with respect to any of the
                  following matters:

                  (i)      Area, width or depth of the land as a building site
                           for the structure;

                  (iii)    Setback of the structure from the property lines of
                           the land; or
               
                  (iv)     Height of the structure.

                  (v)      Parking.

There shall be no liability under this endorsement based on the invalidity of
the ordinances and amendments thereto until after a final decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction adjudicating the invalidity, the effect of which is to
prohibit the use or uses. Loss or damage as to the matters insured against by
this endorsement shall not include loss or damage sustained or incurred by
reason of the refusal of any person to purchase, lease or lend money on the
estate or interest covered by this policy.

This endorsement is made a part of the policy and is subject to all of the terms
and provisions thereof and of any prior endorsements thereto. Except to the
extent expressly stated it neither modifies any of the terms and provisions of

thereof.

                    CONDITIONS AND STIPULATIONS (CONTINUED)

10. APPORTIONMENT

  If the land described in Schedule A consists of two or more parcels which are
not used as a single site, and a loss is established affecting one or more of
said parcels but not all, the loss shall be computed and settled on a pro rata
basis as if the amount of insurance under this policy was divided pro rata as to
the value on Date of Policy of each separate parcel to the whole, exclusive of
any improvements made subsequent to Date of Policy, unless a liability or value
has otherwise been agreed upon as to each such parcel by the Company and the
insured at the time of the issuance of this policy and shown by an express
statement herein or by an endorsement attached hereto.

11. SUBROGATION UPON PAYMENT OR SETTLEMENT

  Whenever the Company shall have settled a claim under this policy, all right
of subrogation shall vest in the Company unaffected by any act of the insured
claimant. The Company shall be subrogated to and be entitled to all rights and
remedies which such insured claimant would have had against any person or
property in respect to such claim had this policy not been issued, and if
requested by the Company, such insured claimant shall transfer to the Company
all rights and remedies against any person or property necessary in order to
perfect such right of subrogation and shall permit the Company to use the name
of such insured claimant in any transaction or litigation involving such rights
or remedies. If the payment does not cover the loss of such insured claimant,
the Company shall be subrogated to such rights and remedies in the proportion
which said payment bears to the amount of said loss. If loss should result from
any act of such insured claimant, such act shall not void this policy, but the
Company, in that event, shall be required to pay only that part of any losses
insured against hereunder which shall exceed the amount, if any, lost to the
Company by reason of the impairment of the right of subrogation.

12. LIABILITY LIMITED TO THIS POLICY

  This instrument together with all endorsements and other instruments, if any,
attached hereto by the Company is the entire policy and contract between the
insured and the Company.

  Any claim of loss or damage, whether or not based on negligence, and which
arises out of the status of the title to the estate or interest covered hereby
or any action asserting such claim, shall be restricted to the provisions and
conditions and stipulations of this policy.

  No amendment of or endorsement to this policy can be made except by writing
endorsed hereon or attached hereto signed by either the President, a Vice
President, the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, or validating officer or
authorized signatory of the Company.

13. NOTICES, WHERE SENT

  All notices required to be given the Company and any statement in writing
required to be furnished the Company shall include the number of this policy and

                            EXCHANGE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This Exchange Rights Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of
_____________, 1997 among Pacific Gulf Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the "Company"), PGP Northern Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Operating Partnership"), and Eden Plaza Associates, LLC, a California
limited liability company ("Eden").

      For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

      1.    Definitions.

            The following terms shall have the following meanings:

            "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, all as the
same shall be in effect at the relevant time.

            "Business Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or other day
on which commercial banks in Los Angeles, California are authorized or required
by law to close.

            "Common Stock" means the common stock of the Company, par value $.01
per share.

            "Company" means Pacific Gulf Properties Inc., a Maryland
corporation.

            "Board of Directors" means the board of directors of the Company and
any committee thereof duly granted specific authority with respect to this
Agreement.

            "Eden" means Eden Plaza Associates, LLC, a California limited
liability company.

            "Effective Date" shall mean the date of "Closing" as defined in the
Master Contribution Agreement.

            "Election Notice" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 4.

            "Entitled Unitholder" shall mean each of the following named
individuals, but only the following named individuals, and, as to each
individual, only as long as he personally remains a Unitholder. "Entitled
Unitholder" shall not include any heir, executor, successor or assign of any of

<PAGE>   88
following named individuals. The "Entitled Unitholders" are Elbert P. Bressie
and The San Francisco Opera Association.

            "Excess Partnership Units" shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 5.

            "Excess Shares" has the meaning assigned to such term in the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended from time to time.

            "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the relevant time.

            "Exchange Factor" means the number used to calculate the amount of
cash and/or Common Stock to be delivered by the Company (i) pursuant to Section
2 or Section 3 upon the valid delivery to the Company by a Unitholder of an
Exercise Notice, or (ii) pursuant to Section 5 upon the occurrence of a
Mandatory Exchange Event, and in either case an election by the Company to pay
in cash and/or Common Stock as herein provided, and shall initially be equal to
one (1); provided, however, that the Exchange Factor shall be subject to
adjustment, from time to time, as follows:

            (a)   In the event the Company (i) shall issue rights or warrants to
all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock at a price per share less than the Value per share on the date fixed for
the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,
and (ii) shall not issue similar rights or warrants to all Unitholders entitling
them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Partnership Units at a
comparable price and in comparable amounts per share (determined, in the case of
Partnership Units, by reference to the Exchange Factor) in the event Unitholders
receive Common Stock under this Agreement, then the Exchange Factor in effect
immediately after the time fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled
to receive such rights or warrants shall be increased by multiplying such
Exchange Factor then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time fixed for such
determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time fixed for such determination plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the
total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription would
purchase at the Value on such day.

            (b)   In the event the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise (in
either case not involving the Company's receipt of consideration therefor),
distribute to all holders of Common Stock (i) shares of capital stock of any
class other than Common


                                      -2-
<PAGE>   89
Stock or other than shares of capital stock convertible into Common Stock, (ii)
evidences of its indebtedness or (iii) assets (excluding any regular cash
dividend or distribution lawfully paid under the laws of the state of
incorporation of the Company, any regular dividend or distribution on
outstanding Common Stock, in Common Stock (or any capital stock of the Company
convertible into Common Stock), and any rights or warrants referred to in
paragraph (a) of this definition) and shall not cause a corresponding
distribution to be made to all Unitholders, then the Exchange Factor in effect
immediately after the time fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled
to receive such distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Exchange
Factor then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Value
on the day fixed for such determination, and the denominator of which shall be
such Value less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive, and as described in a resolution of the
Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be certified by the Secretary of the
Company and promptly delivered to the holders of the Partnership Units) of the
portion of the aggregate shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or
assets so distributed attributable to one share of Common Stock.

            (c)   In the event that the Company (i) declares or pays a dividend
on its outstanding Common Stock with Common Stock or makes a distribution to all
holders of its outstanding Common Stock in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combines its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of Common Stock, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Exchange Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the record date
for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such
purpose that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has
occurred as of such time), and the denominator of which shall be the actual
number of shares of Common Stock (determined without the above assumption)
issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution,
subdivision or combination. Any adjustment to the Exchange Factor so made shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive
to the record date, if any, for such event.

            (d)   In the event of any reclassification of the Common Stock into
securities other than Common Stock (other than a distribution, subdivision or
combination provided for elsewhere in this definition of "Exchange Factor") then
(i) the "Value" shall thereafter be the exchange price, quoted price, or value
as determined by the Board of Directors, as applicable, of a share or other unit
of the kind of such securities receivable upon such reclassification by a holder
of Common Stock, and (ii) the Exchange Factor in effect immediately after the
effective time of such reclassification shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Exchange Factor then in effect by a number equal to the number of


                                      -3-
<PAGE>   90
shares or other units of such securities receivable upon such reclassification
by a holder of one share of Common Stock. In the event of any such
reclassification, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of
this definition of "Exchange Factor" after the reclassification to the end that
the provisions of this definition shall be applicable after the reclassification
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

            (e)   If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of
the Company through reorganization, merger, recapitalization, combination of
shares, or other similar transaction, the Exchange Factor shall be appropriately
and proportionately adjusted to give effect thereto upon consummation of such
event.

            (f)   For purposes of this definition, the term "Common Stock" shall
include all Common Stock outstanding plus all Excess Shares outstanding.

            All determinations of the Exchange Factor will be made by the Board
of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion but in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be binding upon each tendering Unitholder.

attached hereto as Exhibit C.

number of shares of Common Stock which shall be so delivered by the Company

      THIS CERTIFICATE (OR ANY SECURITY ISSUED ON ACCOUNT HEREOF OR WITH RESPECT
      HERETO) MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
      STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") AND IN

      REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR OTHERWISE, AND QUALIFICATION OR OTHER
      COMPLIANCE UNDER APPLICABLE BLUE SKY OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS."


            (e)   The Unitholder further acknowledges that each certificate or
instrument obtained under the terms of this Agreement shall bear the following
legend and any other legend required under applicable law:

      The Corporation is authorized to issue three classes of capital stock
      which are designated as Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Excess Stock.
      The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the preferences,
      limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock before the issuance
      of any Preferred Stock. The corporation will furnish, without charge, to
      any stockholder making a written request therefor, a copy of the
      Corporation's Charter and a written statement of the designations, and any
      preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
      limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of
      redemption applicable to each class of stock. Requests for such written
      statement may be directed to Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. at its principal
      executive offices, Attention: Secretary.

      The shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate are subject to
      restrictions on ownership and 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. No Person may
      Beneficially Own Capital Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or in number of
      shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding Capital Stock of
      the Corporation, with certain further restrictions and exceptions set
      forth in the Corporation's Charter. Capital Stock that may be acquired
      upon conversion of convertible securities of the Corporation held,
      directly or constructively, by an investor, but not Capital Stock issuable
      with respect to


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   96
      convertible securities held by others, is deemed to be owned by the
      investor and outstanding prior to conversion for purposes of determining
      the percentage of Capital Stock held by that Investor. Any Person who
      attempts to Beneficially Own Capital Stock in excess of the above
      limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All capitalized terms
      in this legend have the meanings detained in the Corporation's Charter.
      Transfer or other events in violation of the restrictions described above
      shall be null and void ab initio, and the purported transferee or
      purported owner shall acquire or retain no rights to, or economic
      interests in, any Common Stock held in violation of these restrictions.
      The Corporation may redeem such shares upon the terms and conditions
      specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of
      Directors determines that a Transfer or other event would violate the
      restrictions described above.

      In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, if the restrictions on
      ownership are violated, the Common Stock represented hereby may be
      automatically exchanged for Excess Stock which will be held in trust for
      the exclusive benefit of the transferee or transferees to whom such Common
      Stock may ultimately be transferred (without violating these ownership
      restrictions). The Corporation has an option to acquire Excess Stock under
      certain circumstances. The Board of Directors shall determine the terms,
      limitations, and any rights of the Excess Stock as required or prudent to
      obtain an IRS Ruling Satisfactory to the Corporation regarding such Excess
      Stock, which determination shall be set forth in Articles Supplementary to
      the Corporation's Charter. The Corporation will furnish to the holder
      hereof upon request and without charge a complete written statement of the
      terms and conditions of the Excess Stock. Requests for such statement may
      be directed to Pacific Gulf Properties Inc. at its principal executive
      offices, Attention: Secretary.

      4.    Entitled Unitholder's Option to Receive Property Interest.

            (a)   In the event of a Mandatory Exchange Event that consists of a
proposed sale of an Original Property or Properties and that would result in
Mandatory Units owned by an Entitled Unitholder being deemed tendered to the
Company pursuant to Section 5 below (the "Proposed Sale"), the Company shall
give written notice (the "Sale Notice") of the Proposed Sale to each such
Entitled Unitholder not less than sixty (60) days prior to the projected closing
date of the Proposed Sale. The Sale Notice shall identify the Original Property
or Properties proposed to be sold, the proposed gross sale price (the "Gross
Sale Price") and the projected closing date of the Proposed Sale. Each such
Entitled Unitholder may elect to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 4
by giving written notice of such election (the "Election Notice") to the Company
not more that thirty (30) days after the date of the Sale Notice. If the Company
has not received an Entitled Unitholder's written Election Notice within said
thirty (30) days, that Entitled Unitholder shall be conclusively and irrevocably
deemed to have elected to not exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 4
with respect to the Proposed Sale and the Company and the Operating Partnership
shall be free to consummate the Proposed Sale without the provisions of this
Section 4 being applied to that Entitled Unitholder, provided that the Proposed
Sale is consummated within one (1) year after the projected closing date
originally set forth in the Sale Notice. If the Proposed Sale is to be
consummated more than one (1) year after the originally projected closing date,
then any Sale Notice and any Election Notice previously given with respect to
that Proposed Sale shall be of no force or effect and the provisions of this
Section 4 shall apply anew with respect to that Proposed Sale as if no such
previous notices had been given.

            (b)   The Unitholders, including without limitation the Entitled
Unitholders, shall have no right to approve or object to (i) the proposed Gross
Sale Price or any adjustments thereto; (ii) the closing date of the Proposed
Sale; (iii) the proposed buyer under the Proposed Sale; or (iv) any other term
or provision of the Proposed Sale or any modification or amendment thereof. The
Company, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, shall have
absolute and exclusive discretion to determine the terms and conditions of, and
the buyer under, any Proposed Sale and may agree to change such terms and
conditions or buyer in its sole and absolute discretion without notice. Except
as provided in the last sentence of Section 4(a), any Election Notice given by a
Unitholder shall be unconditional and irrevocable if the Proposed Sale is
consummated. However, nothing contained herein shall obligate the Company or
Operating Partnership to consummate a Proposed Sale. The Company, as the general
partner of the Operating Partnership, may, in its sole and absolute discretion
and without any liability, elect to terminate or abandon any Proposed Sale,
notwithstanding the


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   98
giving of any Sale Notice or Election Notice with respect thereto or otherwise.

            (c)   If an Entitled Unitholder timely delivers an Election Notice
pursuant to Section 4(a) with respect to a Proposed Sale, then on the Settlement
Date with respect to such Proposed Sale (such Proposed Sale also being a
Mandatory Exchange Event) the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply to the
extent this Section 4 is inconsistent with Section 5 below. On the Settlement
Date with respect to such Proposed Sale, and immediately prior to the
consummation of such Proposed Sale, the Operating Partnership shall deed an
undivided "Fractional Interest" in the Original Property or Properties which are
the subject of such Proposed Sale to each Entitled Unitholder who has timely
delivered an Election Notice pursuant to Section 4(a) with respect to such
Proposed Sale and to any other Unitholder to whom the Company, in its sole and
absolute discretion, extends the benefits of this Section 4. The Fractional
Interest deeded to each such Unitholder shall be calculated by dividing (i) the
product of the Unit Cash Amount as of the Tender Date multiplied by the number
of Mandatory Units deemed tendered by such Unitholder to the Company with
respect to such Proposed Sale pursuant to Section 5, below; by (ii) the actual
final Gross Sale Price with respect to such Proposed Sale (regardless of the
proposed Gross Sale Price projected in the Sale Notice).

            (d)   In the event a Fractional Interest in the Original Property or
Properties which are the subject of a Proposed Sale is deeded to a Unitholder,
then that Unitholder shall (i) execute, deliver and acknowledge all deeds,
assignments, agreements and other documents required to be executed, delivered
or acknowledged by the seller under the Proposed Sale to the full extent
necessary to consummate the Proposed Sale as if that Unitholder were the seller
under the Proposed Sale; (ii) pay a share, equal to its Fractional Interest, of
all of the fees, commissions, costs and expenses that would have been incurred
in implementing the Proposed Sale without deeding Fractional Interests to
Unitholders pursuant to this Section 4; (iii) pay its share, equal to a fraction
the numerator of which is its Fractional Interest and the denominator of which
is the sum of all Fractional Interests of all Unitholders receiving Fractional
Interests in connection with the Proposed Sale, of all of the fees, commissions,
costs and expenses that would not have been incurred in implementing the
Proposed Sale but for the deeding of one or more Fractional Interests to
Unitholders pursuant to this Section 4; (iv) upon, and only upon, the
consummation of the Proposed Sale, receive its Fractional Interest of the net
proceeds generated by the Proposed Sale which such Unitholder may direct be held
in or by an exchange escrow or accommodator at such Unitholder's sole cost and
expense; and (v) otherwise diligently cooperate with the Company and Operating
Partnership to implement the Proposed Sale.

<PAGE>   99
            (e)   The right of any Entitled Unitholder to participate in a
Proposed Sale in the manner provided in this Section 4 is expressly conditioned
upon the Company's determination, in the Company's reasonable discretion, that
none of the conditions set forth in this Section 4(e) exist with respect to such
Entitled Unitholder. In addition, and without in any way imposing any duty on
the Company to do so, if the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion,
extends the benefits of this Section 4 to any other Unitholder, the Company may
nevertheless subsequently deny the benefits of this Section 4 to any such
Unitholder if the Company, in its reasonable discretion, determines that any of
the conditions set forth in this Section 4(e) exist with respect to such
Unitholder. The conditions of this Section 4(e) are that: (i) there is then
outstanding against such Unitholder any judgement or decree that could attach to
or become a lien upon any property acquired by such Unitholder; (ii) such
Unitholder is the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings
related to the consolidation, adjustment, discharge, arrangement or
reorganization of its debts or obligations; (iii) the title company issuing
title insurance in connection with the Proposed Sale refuses to insure title, or
adds any exception to the title insurance it does issue, on account of the
deeding of the Fractional Interest to such Unitholder; (iv) any lis pendens,
injunction or other action is filed seeking to prevent the Proposed Sale on
account of the deeding of the Fractional Interest to such Unitholder; (v) the
Company reasonably determines that the implementation of this Section 4 will
materially delay, impede or jeopardize (and such delay, impediment or
jeopardization would be reasonable) the Proposed Sale or result in the Operating
Partnership receiving materially less favorable terms in the Proposed Sale than
would otherwise be the case; or (vi) there has been a change in any law, rule or
regulation such that, in the Company's reasonable determination, the
implementation of the provisions of this Section 4 would result in a materially
adverse consequence to the Company or Operating Partnership, including without
limitation, jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT or the imposition of a
penalty upon the Company or Operating Partnership. Any Unitholder seeking the
benefits of this Section 4 shall, on or before the consummation of the Proposed
Sale, reimburse the Company for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred
by the Company in making the determinations described in this Section 4(e),
including without limitation costs of title insurance, reports and commitments,
litigation searches and credit checks.

            (f)   Each deed for a Fractional Interest shall be deposited by the
Company into the escrow established for the Proposed Sale with instructions to
the escrow to cause the Fractional Interest deed(s) to be recorded immediately
prior to the recordation of the deed conveying the Original Property or
Properties to the buyer. Such escrow instructions shall give the Company the
right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to unilaterally withdraw from such
escrow at any time prior to


                                      -13-
<PAGE>   100
recordation any Fractional Interest deed to any Unitholder with respect to whom
the Company determines any of the conditions set forth in Section 4(e) exist.
Except as expressly provided in Section 4(g) below, no Unitholder shall have any
right to contest, object to or seek to prevent any such withdrawal of a
Fractional Interest deed from escrow. If the Company determines that any of the
conditions set forth in Section 4(e) exist with respect to a Unitholder, then
the Mandatory Units held by such Unitholder shall be automatically subject to
mandatory exchange or redemption pursuant to Section 5 below.

            (g)   The sole and exclusive remedy of any Unitholder who contends
that the Company or the Operating Partnership has failed to comply with the
provisions of this Section 4 shall be an action at law for monetary damages
against only the Company and/or the Operating Partnership. Each Unitholder
hereby expressly waives any right or privilege it may now or hereafter have to
(i) name or join any person or entity, including without limitation any
prospective buyer under a Proposed Sale, in any such action for damages; (ii)
seek specific performance of this Section 4; (iii) seek an injunction to enforce
the provisions of this Section 4 or to prevent, delay or impede any Proposed
Sale; (iv) file a lis pendens against any property that is the subject of a
Proposed Sale; or (v) in any other way prevent, delay or impede a Proposed Sale.
Each Unitholder acknowledges (vi) the absolute and paramount need of the Company
and Operating Partnership to be able to consummate any Proposed Sale the Company
deems appropriate without delay or hinderance of any kind on account of any
Unitholder's contention that the Company or the Operating Partnership may not
have complied with this Section 4; and (vii) that an action at law for monetary
damages against only the Company and/or the Operating Partnership is an adequate
remedy on account of the Company's and/or the Operating Partnership's failure to
comply with the provisions of this Section 4.

            (h)   The Company's sole duty pursuant to this Section 4 shall be to
comply with the provisions of this Section 4. Neither the Company nor the
Operating Partnership makes any representation or provides any assurance that
compliance with the provisions of this Section 4 will be respected or upheld by
any agency or authority or achieve the result desired by any Unitholder. The
monetary damages recoverable by a Unitholder if the Company or the Operating
Partnership fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 4 shall be
limited to the marginal additional income tax liability such Unitholder incurs
as a result of the Mandatory Units deemed tendered by such Unitholder to the
Company in connection with the Proposed Sale being exchanged or redeemed
pursuant to Section 5 rather than this Section 4. It is agreed that any such
failure to comply would not result in any other damages being incurred or
recoverable by a Unitholder, whether consequential, compensatory or otherwise.
Each Unitholder claiming monetary damages under this Section 4


                                      -14-
<PAGE>   101
shall have the burden of proving such damages and shall have the duty to
mitigate those damages to the extent reasonably possible.

            (i)   Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Company from
extending the benefits of this Section 4 to Unitholders other than Entitled
Unitholders. However, any such extension shall be in the Company's sole and
absolute discretion and subject to any additional terms or conditions as the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may impose. Neither the Company
nor the Operating Partnership shall have any duty or obligation, and neither the
Company nor the Operating Partnership shall incur any liability if the Company
fails, to extend the benefits of this Section 4 to any Unitholders other than
Entitled Unitholders.

            (j)   Anything contained herein or in any other document to the
contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 4 may be supplemented
and amended by the mutual agreement of the Company and the Entitled Unitholders
without the need for notice to or consent of any other Unitholder.

      5.    Mandatory Exchange.

            (a)   If, on the Settlement Date with respect to a Mandatory
Exchange Event, the aggregate number of Partnership Units which have not been
acquired or converted pursuant to Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 above
exceeds the product (such product being herein called the "Non-Excess
Partnership Units") of the number of Partnership Units outstanding on the
Effective Date multiplied by the Remaining Original Property Ratio (calculated
without including the Original Property Ratio of any Original Property then
being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of), then Partnership Units in the
number of such excess (the "Excess Partnership Units") shall automatically be
deemed tendered to the Company, whereupon the provisions of Section 2 and 3
above shall apply without the need of any Exercise Notice or actual tendering of
Partnership Units. In the event of an automatic tender pursuant to this Section
5, each Unitholder holding Partnership Units on the Settlement Date for such
Mandatory Exchange Event shall automatically be deemed to have tendered to the
Company a number of Partnership Units (the "Mandatory Units") equal to the total
number of Partnership Units then held by such Unitholder multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Excess Partnership Units then
existing, and the denominator of which is the number of then existing
Partnership Units which have not been acquired or converted pursuant to Section
2, Section 3 or Section 4 above.

            (b)   If, on the Settlement Date with respect to a Mandatory
Exchange Event there has been a voluntary tender of Partnership Units for which
the Settlement Date has not yet occurred, then the Settlement Date for such
voluntary tender shall instead be the Settlement Date with respect to such
Mandatory Exchange Event, but the Tender Date and Unit Cash


                                      -15-
<PAGE>   102
Amount with respect to such voluntary tender shall remain unchanged.

            (c)   The settlement of any mandatory exchange or redemption
pursuant to this Section 5 shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the
Mandatory Exchange Event giving rise to such mandatory exchange or redemption.
All Operating Partnership allocations and distributions made pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement on account of any such Mandatory Exchange Event shall be
calculated and made on the basis that the settlement of any mandatory exchange
or redemption pursuant to this Section 5 occurred prior to such Mandatory
Exchange Event.

            (d)   As of the Settlement Date with respect to a Mandatory Exchange
Event, all certificates representing Partnership Units which have not actually
been surrendered to the Company shall thereafter represent only the Partnership
Units or other securities to which the Unitholder remains entitled under this
Section 5. Upon being notified by the Company of a Mandatory Exchange Event each
Unitholder shall promptly deliver to the Company a completed and duly executed
Exercise Notice with respect to any Excess Partnership Units held by such
Unitholder.

            (e)   Except as modified by this Section 5, all other provisions of
this Agreement shall apply to an acquisition or conversion of the Partnership
Units pursuant to this Section 5, and any deemed tender of Partnership Units
pursuant to this Section 5 shall be treated as an actual tender for purposes of
the other provisions of this Agreement.

      6.    Procedure for Exercising Company's Right to Acquire Partnership
Units.

            (a)   Promptly upon receipt of an Exercise Notice from a tendering
Unitholder (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such
receipt), or on or before the Tender Date with respect to any Mandatory Exchange
Event, the Company shall exercise its right to acquire the validly or deemed
tendered Partnership Units by delivering to the tendering Unitholder a completed
and duly executed Response Notice. The Company shall simultaneously deliver to
the Operating Partnership a copy of any such duly executed Response Notice.

            (b)   Unless an exception applies under applicable law and
regulations, the Company, if it exercises its rights hereunder, will be required
to withhold, and will withhold, thirty one percent (31%) (or such other amount
as applicable law may require) of the gross proceeds (including dollar
equivalent of shares of Common Stock) paid to a tendering Unitholder pursuant to
this Agreement unless the Unitholder provides his, her or its tax identification
number (employer identification number or Social Security Number) and certifies
that such number is correct. Therefore, unless such an exception exists and is
provided in a manner satisfactory to the Company, each tendering


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   103
Unitholder should complete and sign the main signature form on the Exercise
Notice and sign the Substitute Form W-9 included as part of the Exercise Notice,
so as to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup
withholding.

            (c)   All determinations as to the validity and form of any tender
pursuant to this Agreement will be made by the Board of Directors of the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion but in accordance with the
provisions hereof, and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be binding upon each tendering Unitholder and on the Company.

      7.    Payment.

            (a)   On the Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver to the
tendering Unitholder (or such other Person designated in the Exercise Notice),
pursuant to the instructions in the Exercise Notice, the cash and/or Common
Stock required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

            (b)   In all cases, payment for the Partnership Units tendered
pursuant to this Agreement shall be made only after timely receipt by the
Company of the partnership interest certificate(s) relating to such Partnership
Units, a properly completed and duly executed Exercise Notice, appropriate
investment representations concerning the recipient's investment intent with
regard to any Common Stock received hereunder, and any other documents required
by the Exercise Notice.

            (c)   The Company agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to
obtain an early termination of the waiting period applicable to each tender, if
any, under the HSR.

            (d)   Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company shall not be required to tender or deliver cash, or to issue, tender
or deliver any Common Stock if to do so would cause any violation of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Maryland GCL, or any applicable Blue Sky
or other state securities or real estate syndication laws. Upon the reasonable
request by the Company, a tendering Unitholder shall deliver to the Company such
other and further documents to ensure compliance with such laws. Both the
Company and the tendering Unitholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to permit such tender and delivery to be in compliance with all of the foregoing
laws.

      8.    Rights as a Partner.

            (a)   Until the Settlement Date, each tendering Unitholder shall
continue to own such Unitholder's tendered Partnership Units, and will continue
to be treated as the holder of such tendered Partnership Units for all purposes
of the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, for purposes of
voting, consent, allocations and distributions.


                                      -17-
<PAGE>   104
            (b)   On the Settlement Date, all Partnership Units acquired by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically, and without further
action required, be converted into and deemed to be an equal number of general
partner interests in the Operating Partnership owned by the Company, and all
rights, title, interest, claim, cause of action, and the like of the Unitholder
arising out of such Unitholder's Partnership Units so acquired and/or status and
interest as a partner as a result thereof shall become the property of the
Company in its entirety, and the Unitholder shall have no further claim of
interest therein or thereto.

      9.    Rights as a Shareholder. No tendering Unitholder (or other Person
designated in the Exercise Notice, if applicable) shall have any rights as a
shareholder of the Company with respect to shares of Common Stock, if any, to be
received pursuant to this Agreement until the Settlement Date, at which time
such tendering Unitholder (or other Person designated in the Exercise Notice, if
applicable) shall become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock.

      10.   Consistent Treatment. Each of the Company, any tendering
Unitholder, and the Operating Partnership shall treat the transaction between
the tendering Unitholder and the Company for Federal income tax purposes as a
sale of the tendering Unitholder's Partnership Units to the Company.

      11.   Representations and Warranties of Unitholders. On the Effective Date
and on each date that a Unitholder receives Common Stock or other securities or
cash under this Agreement, each Unitholder represents and warrants to the
Company as follows (and each such representation and warranty also constitutes a
condition precedent to the Company's obligation to pay the cash and/or issue the
Common Stock as provided under this Agreement):

            (a)   Unitholder has the authority to exercise all rights and powers
under this Agreement, including the right and power to deliver the Exercise
Notice, tender Partnership Units and receive all consideration provided
hereunder, and has obtained all consents, approvals, permits and other
clearances required to complete the transactions contemplated hereunder.

            (b)   Unitholder is delivering good and marketable title to each and
every Partnership Unit tendered hereunder, free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances, restrictions, interests or rights of any other Person, except for
the restrictions on transfer of Partnership Units described in this Agreement.

            (c)   Unitholder is either (a) an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act, or (b) a person who either
alone or with his, her or its purchaser representative (as defined in Rule
501(h) of Regulation D under the Act) has such knowledge and experience in
financial


                                      -18-
<PAGE>   105
and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Partnership Units, Common Stock or any other
security acquired hereunder. The Unitholder has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating alone, or together
with his, her or its purchaser representative or personal advisor the merits and
risks of an investment in the Partnership Units, Common Stock or any other
security delivered hereunder and protecting his, her or its own interests in
connection with the investment and has obtained, in his, her or its judgment,
alone, or together with his, her or its purchaser representative or personal
advisor sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits and risks
of an investment in the Partnership Units, Common Stock or any other security
delivered hereunder. The Unitholder acknowledges that he, she, or it has the
financial ability to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment in the
Company, has adequate means for providing for his, her or its current needs and
personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to the
investment in the Company. If other than an individual, the Unitholder also
represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the
Partnership Units, Common Stock or other security acquired under this Agreement.

      12.   Indemnification. Each Unitholder agrees to indemnify the Company,
the Operating Partnership and their affiliates, officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents and representatives against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses whatsoever and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against, and aggregate amounts
paid in settlement of, any litigation, action, investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether
or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon, arising from or in
connection with any third party's or such Unitholder's claim against such
Unitholder's Partnership Units at any time prior to delivery to the Company
under this Agreement which arise prior to such delivery, or based upon, rising
from or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by
Unitholder under this Agreement.

      13.   Miscellaneous.

            13.1  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed and
enforced in all respects by the laws of the State of California applicable to
contracts made and wholly performed within the State of California by Persons

            13.2  Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the provisions of the
forms of Exercise Notice and Response Notice attached hereto, together with the
Partnership Agreement, and other agreements and documents specifically referred
to herein, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement with


                                      -19-
<PAGE>   106
regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersede any previous agreements
regarding the matters covered herein.

            13.3  Notices. Each notice, demand, request, request for approval,
consent, approval, disapproval, designation or other communication (each of the
foregoing being referred to herein as a "notice") required or desired to be
given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing (except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement) and shall be effective and deemed to have been
received (i) when delivered in person, or (ii) when sent by facsimile
transmission with receipt acknowledged (a) if to a Unitholder, at such
Unitholder's address or telefax number set forth in Exhibit A hereto or, if not
set forth in Exhibit A, in the records of the Operating Partnership, or at such
other address or to the telefax number as such Unitholder shall have furnished
to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing, (b) if to the Company,
at the address of the Company's principal executive offices and addressed to the
attention of the President and Chief Executive Officer, or at such other address
or to the telefax number as the Company shall have furnished to each Unitholder
and the Operating Partnership in writing or (c) if to the Operating Partnership,
at the address of the Company's principal executive offices and addressed to the
attention of the Corporate Secretary, or at such other address or to the telefax
number as the Operating Partnership shall have furnished to each Unitholder and
the Company in writing.

            13.4  Severability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect without said provision; provided, however, that no such severability
shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this
Agreement to any Person.

            13.5  Construction. The words such as "herein," "hereinafter,"
"hereof" and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a
subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.
Whenever the context so indicates, the singular or plural number shall each be
deemed to include the other.

            13.6  Use of Term "Assignee". Whenever in this Agreement the term
"assignee" is used, it shall include each assignee, transferee, distributee
(whether or not in liquidation of the distributing Person), assignee of an
assignee through one or more predecessor assignments and, by way of illustration
and not limitation, each Person who becomes an assignee as a result of a secured
creditor exercising its rights under a security agreement and/or applicable law,
in each case, whether the assignment creating the assignee was effected with or
without consideration, by gift or bequest, by operation of law or otherwise. The
terms "assign," "assigned" and "assignment" shall be similarly construed.

of all parties and their successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators

            13.8  Additional Unitholders. If the Operating Partnership issues
Partnership Units to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, the Company
may elect to cause such Persons to become parties to this Agreement, in which
case (a) this Agreement shall be amended without the consent of any other party
to make such Persons parties to this Agreement, and (b) such persons shall
execute a counterpart of this Agreement.

            13.9  Section Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes
only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth
in the text.

            13.10 Attorney Fees. In the event of any litigation among the
parties hereto to enforce or interpret any provision or right hereunder, the
unsuccessful party to such litigation covenants and agrees to pay the successful
party all costs and expenses reasonably incurred, including without limitation

               PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY


Gentlemen:

      The undersigned hereby provides notice to the Company of the undersigned's
tender of the above-described Partnership Units. All capitalized terms used
herein but not defined herein are used as defined in the Partnership Agreement
or Exchange Rights Agreement.

      Subject to, and effective upon, payment (i.e., payment of cash and/or
issuance of shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock")) for the
Partnership Units tendered herewith, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns,
transfers, and conveys to the Company, in the event the Company exercises its
rights to purchase the above-described Units pursuant to the Exchange Rights
Agreement, all right, title and interest in and to all the Partnership Units
that are being tendered hereby, together with all rights, claims, interests,
privileges, entitlements, rights to distributions of any and all kinds, causes
of action, and the like in, to, and against the Operating Partnership and any of
its general or limited partners, and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
the Company its attorney in fact, with full power of substitution and
resubstitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power
coupled with an interest), (a) to present such Partnership Units for transfer on
the Operating Partnership's books, and (b) to receive all benefits and otherwise
exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Partnership Units all in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Rights Agreement.

      The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has
full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered
Partnership Units and that, upon payment, the Company will acquire good,
marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, claims,
restrictions, charges and encumbrances whatsoever, and the same will not be
subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned will, upon request, execute any
additional documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to
complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the tendered Partnership Units.

      The undersigned further represents that he, she or it is either (a) an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under
the Act, or (b) a person who either alone or with his, her or its purchaser
representative (as defined in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D under the Act) has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Partnership Units, Common Stock or any other security acquired under the
Exchange Rights Agreement. The Unitholder has such knowledge and experience in
financial and


                                      C-2
<PAGE>   113
business matters as to be capable of evaluating alone, or together with his, her
or its purchaser representative or personal advisor the merits and risks of an
investment in the Partnership Units, Common Stock or any other security
delivered under the Exchange Rights Agreement and protecting his, her or its own
interests in connection with the investment and has obtained, in his, her or its
judgment, alone, or together with his, her or its purchaser representative or
personal advisor sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits
and risks of an investment in the Partnership Units, Common Stock or any other
security delivered under the Exchange Rights Agreement. The Unitholder
acknowledges that he, she, or it has the financial ability to bear the economic
risk of his, her or its investment in the Company, has adequate means for
providing for his, her or its current needs and personal contingencies and has
no need for liquidity with respect to the investment in the Company. If other
than an individual, the Unitholder also represents it has not been organized
solely for the purpose of acquiring the Partnership Units, Common Stock or other
security acquired under the Exchange Rights Agreement.

      The effectiveness of this Notice of Exercise shall not be affected by, and
shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligation of
the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned. Except
as provided in the Exchange Rights Agreement, this tender is irrevocable.

      The undersigned understands that a tender of Partnership Units pursuant to
the Exchange Rights Agreement constitutes a binding agreement between the
undersigned and the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Exchange Rights Agreement.

      Unless otherwise indicated under "Special Delivery Instructions", please
mail the cash and/or shares of Common Stock for the purchase price and, if
applicable, return the Partnership Interest Certificate(s) for Partnership Units
not tendered (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es) of
the registered holder(s) appearing under "Description of Partnership Units
Tendered." In the event that the Special Delivery Instructions are completed,
please issue and deliver the cash and/or the shares of Common Stock for the

Interests not tendered, if applicable, in the name of the registered holder(s)
and transmit the same to the person(s) so indicated.

                    Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions
                        of the Exchange Rights Agreement

      1.    Guarantee of Signature. No signature guarantee on this Notice of
Exercise is required unless the registered holder of the Partnership Units has
completed the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions." In such case all
signatures on this Notice of Exercise must be guaranteed by a member firm of any
registered national securities exchange in the United States or of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or by a commercial bank or trust company
(not a savings bank or a savings and loan association) having an office, branch
or agency in the United States.

      2.    Delivery of Notice of Exercise and Partnership Interest
Certificate(s) or Exchange Rights Agreement Evidencing Rights. This Notice of
Exercise is to be completed by the holder of Partnership Units. Partnership
Interest Certificate(s) for all Partnership Units as well as a properly
completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise, and any other documents required
by this Notice of Exercise, must be received by the Company. No alternative,
conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.

      3.    Inadequate Space. If the space provided herein is inadequate, the
Partnership Interest Certificate number(s) and/or other information required
should be listed on a separate schedule attached hereto.

      4.    Partial Tenders. If fewer than all the Partnership Units evidenced
by any Partnership Interest Certificate(s) submitted are to be tendered, fill in
the number of Partnership Units which are to be tendered in the box entitled
"Partnership Units Being Tendered." In such case, a new Partnership Interest
Certificate for the remainder of the Partnership Interests that was evidenced by
old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder, unless otherwise
provided in the appropriate box on this Notice of Exercise, as soon as
practicable. All Partnership Units represented by Partnership Interest
Certificate(s) delivered to the Company will be deemed to have been tendered
unless otherwise indicated.


                                      C-5
<PAGE>   116
      5.    Signatures on Notice of Exercise. The signature(s) must correspond
with the name as written on the face of the Partnership Interest Certificate(s)
without any change whatsoever. If any of the Partnership Units tendered hereby
are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign the
Notice of Exercise. If this Notice of Exercise is signed by trustees, executors,
administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others
acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, each person should so indicate
when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority
of each such person so to act must be submitted.

      6.    Special Delivery Instructions. If Partnership Interest
Certificate(s) for unpurchased Partnership Units are to be returned to a person
other than the signer of this Notice of Exercise or if a certificate for shares
of Common Stock is to be sent to someone other than the signer of this Notice of
Exercise or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on
this Notice of Exercise should be completed.

      7.    Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to
waive any of the specified conditions of the Offer in the case of the
Partnership Units tendered.

      8.    Backup Withholding. Under Federal income tax law, a person
surrendering Partnership Units must provide the Company with his, her or its
correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") on Substitute Form W-9 below
unless an exemption applies. If the correct TIN is not provided, a $50 penalty
may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and payments made in exchange for
the surrendered Partnership Units may be subject to backup withholding of that
rate provided by Federal income tax law (such rate being on the date of the
Partnership Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement, thirty one percent
(31%)). The TIN that must be provided is that of the registered holder of the
Partnership Units. The TIN for an individual is his or her social security
number.

      9.    Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions and requests
for assistance or additional copies of the Partnership Agreement, the Exchange
Rights Agreement and the Notice of Exercise may be directed to the Company.

                            IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

      Under Federal income tax laws, a holder whose tendered Partnership Units
are accepted for payment is required by law to provide the Company (as payer)
with his, her or its correct taxpayer identification number on Substitute Form
W-9 below. If such holder is an individual, the taxpayer identification number
is his or her social security number. If the Operating Partnership or the
Company, as applicable, is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification
number, the holder may be


                                      C-6
<PAGE>   117
subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition,
payments that are made to such holder with respect to Partnership Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding.

      If backup withholding applies, the Company is required to withhold that
rate provided by the Federal income tax law (such rate being on the date of the
Partnership Agreement, the Exchange Rights Agreement, thirty one percent (31%)
of any such payments made to the holder of Partnership Units. Backup withholding
is not an additional tax; rather, the tax liability of a person subject to
backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld and, if
withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

Purpose of Substitute Form W-9

      To prevent backup withholding on payments that are made to a holder of
Partnership Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, the holder is required to
notify the Company of his, her or its correct taxpayer identification number by
completing the form below certifying that the taxpayer identification number
provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct.

What Number to Give the Company.

      The holder is required to give the Company the social security number or

                     MORTGAGE LOAN APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT


This Mortgage Loan Application and Agreement and any exhibits attached hereto
(this "Agreement") is an irrevocable offer by Borrower (as hereinafter defined)
to borrow from Lender (as hereinafter defined) under the terms and conditions
contained herein (the "Loan"). Borrower's offer shall be irrevocable for the
period ending at 5:00 p.m. on July 30, 1997 ("Lender Acceptance Date"), and may
be accepted by Lender at any time during this period. If Lender approves the
Loan and executes this Agreement, then Lender agrees to lend and Borrower agrees
to borrow on the terms and conditions herein set forth. If Lender does not
accept this Agreement on or before the Lender Acceptance Date, then such offer
shall be automatically revoked as of such date and the Good Faith Deposit,
Engineering Cost Deposit and Lender Fee (as hereinafter defined) received by
CIGNA Investments, Inc. ("CII") shall be returned to Borrower and this Agreement
shall be null and void.


                        SECTION I - PRINCIPAL LOAN TERMS

1.1     Borrower. The Borrower is _____________________________________.
        Holders of substantial interest in the Borrower or the Real Property are
        identified in Exhibit A ("Special Provisions").

1.2     Lender Definition: The term "Lender" as used herein shall include CII,
        its affiliate(s), separate account(s), nominee(s) or subsidiary(ies),
        and any investor, participant or assignee to whom the Loan, in whole or
        in part, may be sold prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date
        (hereinafter defined). Any such sale will not modify Borrower's or
        Lender's rights or obligations hereunder or under the loan documents.

1.3     Loan Amount: $12,000,000.

1.4     Term: The Loan shall be for a term (the "Term") of 5 years, commencing
        on the date funds are first advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower
        (the "Closing Date") and ending on a date (the "Maturity Date") which
        shall be the first day of the first calendar month following the end of
        the Term.

1.5     Interest Rate: ______% per annum (the "Interest Rate"). In no event will
        Lender receive interest in excess of that allowed by applicable state
        law.

1.6     Monthly Installments: Monthly installments in the amount of $______ 
        (based on a 25 year amortization schedule), (interest only), shall be
        due on the first day of each month (the "Monthly Payment Date")
        commencing on the first calendar day of the second month following the
        Closing Date. Such payments shall be applied first to interest with the
        remainder, if any, to be applied to principal. Interest will be applied
        on the basis of a 360-day year and 30-day month. Borrower shall pay at
        closing interest from and including the Closing Date to the first day of
        the first calendar month after the Closing Date occurs; interest paid at
        closing shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the
        actual number of days from the Closing Date to the first day of the
        first calendar month following closing.


                                                                   June 26, 1997
                                     Page 1
<PAGE>   141
1.7     Prepayment and Prepayment Fee: The Loan is closed to prepayment (the
        "Closed Period") until the third anniversary of the first Monthly
        Payment Date, each such annual period being hereinafter referred to as a
        "Loan Year".

        Borrower may prepay the Loan in full, but not in part, on any Monthly
        Payment Date after the Closed Period provided Borrower gives Lender 60
        days' prior written notice and pays a prepayment fee (the "Prepayment
        Fee") calculated as follows:

                The greater of (a) 1% of the then-existing balance of the Loan,
                or (b) Yield Maintenance as defined below.

        In the event of a prepayment during the Closed Period resulting from a
        default, acceleration or any other reason, Borrower shall pay the Lender
        a prepayment fee (the "Default Prepayment Fee") calculated as follows:

                (a) 2% of the then existing balance of the Loan, plus
                (b) Yield Maintenance as defined below.

        Yield Maintenance: Yield Maintenance is defined as the sum of Present
        Values on the date of prepayment of each Monthly Interest Shortfall for
        the remaining Term of the Loan discounted at the monthly Treasury Yield.

        The Monthly Interest Shortfall is calculated for each monthly payment
        date and is the product of (i) the positive difference, if any, of the
        Semi-Annual Equivalent Rate less the Treasury Yield, divided by 12,
        times (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Monthly
        Payment Date for which the calculation is made for each full and partial
        month remaining in the Term.

        The Present Value is then determined by discounting each Monthly
        Interest Shortfall at the Treasury Yield divided by twelve.

        FOR EXAMPLE: If a 9% loan were prepaid with 24 months remaining in the
        Term, at a time when Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15 (519)
        reported a two-year Treasury Yield of 7.0%; and the outstanding loan
        balance was $10,000,000, then:

        Semi-Annual Equivalent Rate                             .0917
        less the Treasury Yield                                -.0700
                                                         ------------
        equals the positive rate difference                     .0217
        divided by 12
        equals the monthly rate difference                    .001808
        times the principal balance                      x$10,000,000
                                                         ------------
        equals the Monthly Interest Shortfall              $18,080.00

        The sum of the Present Values of all the Monthly Interest Shortfalls
        ($18,080) discounted at the monthly Treasury Yield (7% divided by 12 or
        .58333%) equals $403,818.60.

        The "Semi-Annual Equivalent Rate" for this loan is ____%.

        The "Treasury Yield" will be determined by reference to the Federal
        Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) of Selected Interest Rates (or
        any similar successor publication of


                                                                   June 26, 1997

<PAGE>   142
        the Federal Reserve) for the first week ending not less than two full
        weeks prior to the prepayment date. If the remaining Term is less than
        one year, the Treasury Yield will equal the yield for 1-Year Treasury
        Constant Maturities. If the remaining Term is equal to one of the
        maturities of the Treasury Constant Maturities (e.g., 1-year, 2-year,
        etc.), then the Treasury Yield will equal the yield for the Treasury
        Constant Maturity with a maturity equaling the remaining Term. If the
        remaining Term is longer than one year but does not equal one of the
        maturities of the Treasury Constant Maturities, then the Treasury Yield
        will equal the yield for the Treasury Constant Maturity closest to but
        not exceeding the remaining Term.

1.8     Late Payments/Charges/Defaults. All payments of principal, interest and
        applicable escrow amounts not received within five (5) business days
        following the due date of such payments shall constitute an event of
        default. The failure by Borrower to perform any other duty of a monetary
        or non-monetary nature under the loan documents, which failure to
        perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender of
        such failure to perform, shall also constitute an event of default
        except if such failure is not susceptible of cure within such period, so
        long as Borrower has commenced and thereafter diligently pursues such
        cure and provided further that such cure occurs within a reasonable
        period of time but in no event greater than 120 days. In such event,
        Lender may exercise any and all remedies to which it may be entitled,
        including without limitation, acceleration of the principal
        indebtedness. Delinquent payments of principal, interest and applicable
        escrow amounts not received by the due date of such payments shall bear
        a one-time late charge equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of the
        delinquent payment or the maximum amount which shall be permitted by
        applicable state law. Upon acceleration of the Loan, the entire amount
        of principal, interest and other charges due as of the date of
        acceleration shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i)
        the Interest Rate plus four percent (4%) per annum, or (ii) the maximum
        amount permitted by law.

1.9     No Personal Liability: No judgment for the repayment of the indebtedness
        evidenced by the note or in any action to foreclose the Mortgage (as
        hereinafter defined) or to collect any amount payable under the loan
        documents will be satisfied out of the personal assets of Borrower or of
        any other holders of beneficial interest in the Borrower, except that
        Lender's sole recourse for such judgment(s) shall be against the Real
        Property (hereinafter defined) and other collateral as provided pursuant
        to this Agreement. The foregoing limitation on liability shall not
        apply, and Borrower [and Pacific Gulf Properties) shall be personally
        liable, [jointly and severally], for the following acts or omissions, to
        the extent described:

                          SECTION 2 - CLOSING PROCEDURE


2.1     Good Faith Deposit: This Agreement must be accompanied by a good faith
        deposit ("Deposit") in the form of cash or certified check of $240,000
        made payable to Connecticut General Life Insurance Company to be
        retained by Lender as consideration for the holding of funds for future
        disbursement.

        Instead of submitting the Deposit in cash or certified check, Borrower
        may submit $120,000 in cash or certified check and an unconditional and
        irrevocable sight draft letter of credit in the amount of $120,000,
        drawn on a bank satisfactory to Lender, payable to Lender, expiring no
        earlier than 30 days beyond the Expiration Date (as


                                                                   June 26, 1997


                                     Page 4
<PAGE>   144
        hereinafter defined) of this Agreement and substantially in the form
        attached hereto as Exhibit D ("Form of Letter of Credit").

        The Deposit shall be held free of trust as security for Borrower's
        obligations under this Agreement, and any interest earned on the cash
        portion of the Deposit will be retained by Lender. The Deposit will be
        returned if and when the Loan closes, or if the Lender fails to accept
        this Agreement as provided herein.

        Should the Loan fail to close prior to the Expiration Date for any
        reason (except for the Lender's sole default) or in the event Borrower
        does not fulfill Borrower's obligations under this Agreement: (i) the
        Deposit (including any payments obtained by cashing a letter of credit)
        will be retained by Lender as partial compensation for holding funds for
        future disbursement; (ii) Lender shall have the right to exercise any
        rights and remedies Lender may have at law or in equity, which rights
        and remedies shall include (without limitation) the right to seek
        damages, expenses, loss of bargain, and/or the right of specific
        performance; and (iii) unless Lender's obligation to fund the Loan has
        already expired, Lender may, at Lender's sole option, terminate Lender's
        obligation to fund the Loan.

2.2     Lender Fee: This agreement must be accompanied by a Fee (the "Lender
        Fee") in cash or certified check of $15,000 made payable to CIGNA
        Investments, Inc. If Lender executes the Agreement as provided herein,
        the Lender Fee will be earned by Lender whether or not the Loan closes
        except for failure of Lender to fulfill its obligations under this
        Agreement. In the event Lender does not accept this Agreement, the
        Lender Fee will be returned to Borrower.

2.3     Engineering Costs Deposit: This Agreement must also be accompanied by a
        deposit (the "Engineering Costs Deposit") of $15,000 in cash or
        certified check made payable to CIGNA Investments, Inc. to be applied to
        the costs of the inspections and reports to be prepared by third parties
        required under the provisions of Section 4.4, exclusive of the ADA
        Survey (Sec. 4.4.4).

        The Engineering Costs Deposit is only an estimate of the costs of said
        inspections and reports. Borrower will receive a refund if the costs are
        less, and shall pay any excess at or before Closing, if the costs are
        more than the amount estimated.

2.4     Closing Date/Expiration: Under no circumstances will Lender be obligated
        to close the loan and disburse loan funds before August 1, 1997, or
        after August 31, 1997, (the "Expiration Date") unless these dates are
        changed in writing by Lender at Lender's sole option.

        In the event this loan has not closed by the Expiration Date, Lender
        shall, at Borrower's request and upon Borrower's payment of a fee
        ("Extension Fee"), extend the Expiration Date for one additional thirty
        (30) day period ("Extension Period"), provided that such request and
        such Extension Fee is received by Lender on or before the Expiration
        Date. The Extension Fee shall be $25,000.

2.5     Material Adverse Change: Lender shall not be obligated to close the Loan
        if there is any material adverse change in Borrower's financial position
        (or that of any guarantor or principal of Borrower), the Real Property
        (as hereinafter defined), rental income, the rent roll attached hereto
        as Exhibit C-1, or any other features of the transaction from


                                                                   June 26, 1997

                                     Page 5
<PAGE>   145
        that which existed on the date of this Agreement or from the
        representations of Borrower contained herein. From the date of this
        Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or principal of
        Borrower nor any lessee shall be involved in any bankruptcy,
        reorganization or insolvency proceedings, or in any criminal proceedings
        or in government receivership or in a FDIC or FSLIC proceeding.

                  SECTION 3 - SECURITY AND BORROWER'S COVENANTS


3.1     Security: REAL PROPERTY NAME:     Eden Plaza/Eden Rack
                  REAL PROPERTY LOCATION: Hayward, California


        The Loan shall be secured by (a) a first priority mortgage or deed of
        trust (the "Mortgage") on Borrower's interest in the Land and
        Improvements (together, the "Real Property") described in Exhibit B, (b)
        a first priority security interest in the Personal Property described in
        Exhibit B, and (c) a first priority Assignment of Rents and Leases
        described in Exhibit C.

3.2     Leasing: Borrower will meet Lender's leasing requirements prior to
        closing as described in the attached Exhibit C ("Rents and Leases").

3.3     Restrictions on Transfer Borrower shall not transfer, sell or assign the
        Real Property, any interest in the Real Property or any interest in
        Borrower.

3.4     No Secondary Financing: Borrower shall not encumber the Land or the
        Improvements with any lien other than the lien of the Mortgage.

3.5     UCC Security Interest: Lender shall require a first priority security
        interest on all personal property, fixtures and equipment now or
        hereafter used in the operation of the Real Property, with security
        agreements and Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") Financing Statements to
        be executed and filed with the appropriate county and/or state offices.
        Not less than thirty (30) days prior to closing Borrower agrees to
        furnish a detailed and certified schedule satisfactory in form and
        substance to Lender of all personal property, fixtures and equipment
        which will be used in the operation of the Real Property and owned by
        Borrower.

3.6     Taxes: The Real Property must be a separate tax parcel, separate and
        apart from any other property owned by Borrower or anyone else. The loan
        documents will provide for monthly deposits equal to one-twelfth of the
        annual estimated real estate taxes and assessments. At the loan closing
        an initial deposit will be made in an amount which, when added to the
        monthly deposits to be paid within the current tax and assessment
        period, will be sufficient to satisfy the next succeeding periodic tax
        and assessment payment. All deposits will be made directly into an
        interest-bearing account (the "Escrow Account") at a bank selected by
        Borrower and approved by Lender under an agreement satisfactory in form
        and substance to Lender with interest being retained by Lender and free
        of trust except to the extent, if any, that applicable law shall
        otherwise require. The loan documents will also provide that escrow
        agent will, within 30 days after the final date that taxes can be paid
        without penalty, furnish Lender with such evidence as may be reasonably
        required that all taxes have been paid in full.


                                                                   June 26, 1997
                                     Page 6
<PAGE>   146
        So long as Borrower holds title to and controls the Real Property, tax
        payments are paid in full when due and there has been no default, or any
        state of facts which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or
        both, would constitute a default under the loan documents, the interest
        earned by such escrows, less reasonable escrow costs, will be paid to
        Borrower following Lender's receipt of confirmation that taxes have been
        paid.

3.7     insurance: Borrower will be required to maintain and deposit with Lender
        policies of All Risk Replacement Cost Insurance with Agreed Amount
        Endorsement, flood insurance (if the Real Property is in an area which
        is considered a flood risk area by the U.S. Department of Housing and
        Urban Development), rent insurance or business interruption insurance,
        comprehensive general and excess or umbrella liability insurance,
        earthquake insurance (if required), and other appropriate insurance as
        Lender may require from time to time in amounts, form, and substance
        satisfactory to Lender, with companies acceptable to Lender which have a
        Best's rating of at least A:XII. Lender will require that Lender be
        named an additional insured under all of the aforementioned policies,
        and loss payee on all such policies except those pertaining to general
        and excess liability coverage.

3.8     Annual Reports: Borrower will furnish Lender, within 90 days after the
        end of each of Borrower's fiscal years, the following financial reports
        and information: (a) balance sheet, (b) statement of sources and uses,
        (c) rent roll certified and otherwise conforming to Exhibit C-1, (d)
        statement of operating cash flow and accounts receivable, and (e) such
        other financial information as Lender shall reasonably request. Such
        reports and information shall be in reasonable detail and shall be
        accompanied by the unqualified opinion of independent certified public
        accountants who are satisfactory to Lender confirming that they have
        been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles together with any "Notes to Financial Statements".

        In addition, Borrower agrees upon request to provide Lender with (a) a
        current rent roll in detail similar to that shown in Exhibit C-1, (b) a
        balance sheet and year-to-date operating statements for the Property
        certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (c) if
        retail, all sales information of tenants and anchors that make up the
        center (total sales and sales per square foot) that report sales to
        Borrower.

3.9     Disposition of Condemnation/Insurance Proceeds: If, at any time during
        the Term, all or any part of the Real Property is taken in a
        condemnation proceeding or damaged by fire or other hazard, any
        insurance or condemnation proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for
        application to reduction of the principal indebtedness at par or
        restoration or repair of the Real Property at Lender's sole option.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to make casualty insurance
        proceeds available to Borrower for restoration or repair of the Real
        Property, provided:

        (i)     Not more than 20% of the Real Property is damaged, and, in the
                case of condemnation, that portion remaining after the taking is
                still economically in the reasonable opinion of Lender;

        (ii)    There has been no event of default under the loan documents in
                the prior twelve (12) months, and there does not then exist a
                state of facts which, with


                                                                   June 26, 1997
                                     Page 7
<PAGE>   147
                the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
                constitute an event of default;

        (iii)   Borrower can demonstrate to Lender's satisfaction that Borrower
                has the financial ability to make all scheduled payments when
                due under the loan documents during reconstruction, whether from
                the proceeds of rent insurance or otherwise;

        (iv)    Such damage or destruction occurs prior to the last two (2) Loan
                Years;

        (v)     The funds are released under escrow/construction funding
                arrangements satisfactory to Lender;

        (vi)    Annual income from leases in place and approved by Lender that
                are not terminable as a result of the casualty or condemnation
                provide coverage of at least 1.25 times the annual debt service;
                and

        (vii)   The repairs and restoration will restore the Improvements to
                substantially the size, design and utility as existed
                immediately prior to the casualty.


        Any principal reduction at par from an early involuntary prepayment as a
        result of a condemnation proceeding or insurance settlement will cause a
        re-calculation of debt service payments based upon the reduced loan
        balance, the remaining amortization schedule and the Interest Rate.

3.10    Management Agreement: During the term of the Loan, the Real Property
        will be managed under a management agreement (the "Management
        Agreement"). Said agreement shall be subject to Lender's written
        approval, and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. The
        Management Agreement may not be modified or amended and any successor
        agreement may not be entered into or any management company appointed
        without Lender's prior written approval. The Management Agreement and
        any successor management agreement and any liens to which the manager
        may be entitled, shall be expressly subordinate to the lien of the
        Mortgage.


                            SECTION 4 - DUE DILIGENCE

4.1     Submissions: All items required under this Agreement to be submitted
        to Lender for approval by Lender prior to closing shall be delivered by
        Borrower to Lender not less than twenty days prior to closing (unless
        another time limit is specified herein).

4.2     Title, Documents, Borrower's Counsel Opinion and Other Matters: All
        closing documents will be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender
        with such provisions as may be reasonably required to protect Lender's
        interests. Title to the Real Property, the legal descriptions, and all
        documents and other matters relating in any way to the Loan or to the
        Real Property must be to Lender's satisfaction. Not less than 30 days
        prior to closing, Borrower will furnish Lender with a commitment for an

        approved by Lender, issued by a company acceptable to Lender and in
        substance and form acceptable to Lender.

        Borrower shall provide Lender with a favorable opinion of Borrower's
        counsel to the following effects:

        (i)     Borrower is duly organized and in good standing under applicable
                state law,

        (ii)    all loan documents are duly authorized and executed and shall
                constitute valid, binding and enforceable agreements in
                accordance with their respective terms, subject only to any
                applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
                law or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally;

        (iii)   all permits and approvals that are required for the
                construction, use and occupancy of the Real Property under any
                and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations,
                covenants and restrictions have been duly and validly issued by
                the governmental authorities or persons having jurisdiction or
                rights with respect thereto, are in full force and effect, and
                nothing has come to counsel's attention which would question the
                validity of such permits and approvals;

        (iv)    the loan documents and all other matters relating to the Loan do
                not violate any usury or other applicable laws; and

        (v)     such other matters as Lender may reasonably require.

4.3     Survey: Borrower will furnish Lender an up-to-date engineer's survey of
        the Real Property by a registered surveyor acceptable to Lender and the
        title insurance company and certified in a manner satisfactory to Lender
        and the title insurance company, showing no state of facts objectionable
        to Lender or the title insurance company. Specifically, the survey must
        show that all buildings and proposed buildings (if any) are within lot
        and building lines and must locate all above or below ground easements,
        improvements, appurtenances, utilities and rights of way, and ingress
        and egress, number and size of parking spaces and otherwise contain the
        information outlined in the Survey Checklist in Exhibit E-1 (attached).

4.4     Property Condition And Use Requirements: As a condition to Lender's
        obligation to close the Loan, Borrower shall comply with the
        requirements in provisions 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.

        4.4.1   Engineering Requirements:

                (a)     Within ten business days after the date this Agreement
                        is executed by Lender, Borrower shall make the final
                        plans and specifications for the Real Property available
                        to Lender (in such form as Lender shall prescribe),
                        together with copies of geotechnical or soil borings
                        reports, materials inspection and testing reports, and
                        other tests and inspections in Borrower's possession
                        relating to the condition of the Real Property, for
                        review and approval by Lender's in-house
                        Architect/Engineer ("A/E") or an independent A/E engaged
                        by Lender.


                                                                   June 26, 1997
                                     Page 9
<PAGE>   149
                (b)     Lender will have the right to engage, at Borrower's
                        cost, an independent A/E to review the plans and
                        specifications for the Real Property, to perform a
                        physical inspection of the Real Property, and to prepare
                        a report documenting the A/E's findings.

                (c)     Borrower shall provide a certification, at least ten
                        days prior to closing, by the project's design Architect
                        or Engineer, that the Improvements have been completed
                        in accordance with plans and specifications provided to
                        Lender. The certification will also state whether the
                        Real Property meets current building codes and is served
                        by all necessary utilities.

        4.4.2   Earthquake Requirements: (Applicable if the Real Property is
                located within Seismic Zones 3 or 4 as defined by the latest
                edition of the Uniform Building Code, Seismic Zone Map)

                (a)     Lender's A/E, at Borrower's cost, shall furnish a report
                        on the design and construction of the Real Property
                        relative to probable damage from probable earthquake
                        events affecting the location of the Real Property. The
                        report shall be based on the A/E's review of all
                        information deemed necessary by the A/E to assess the
                        proper design and construction of the Real Property to
                        minimize damage from earthquake risk at the site. The
                        report should assess the relative risk of the site as
                        compared to the local metropolitan area overall. The
                        report must assess the probable monetary loss, as a
                        percentage of replacement cost, and an absolute dollar
                        amount resulting from the maximum probable earthquake
                        event affecting the location of the Real Property.

                (b)     The report will identify any physically practical
                        repairs or improvements that would reduce the estimated
                        probable monetary loss significantly. The report will
                        assess the likelihood of foundation, structural, or
                        other damage, regardless of monetary level, that would
                        result in the required demolition of the Improvements or
                        prevent the occupancy of the Improvements for extended
                        periods.

                (c)     If the report identifies, in Lender's sole judgement,
                        unacceptable risks; or if Lender is not satisfied with
                        any remedies proposed by Borrower to address problems
                        disclosed in said report, then Lender may terminate
                        Lender's obligations hereunder.

                (d)     Lender shall at all times retain the right to require
                        earthquake insurance if and when it becomes available at
                        a reasonable price and is customarily required by
                        Lenders as a condition for closing new loans.

                In the event this Agreement is terminated by Lender pursuant to
                subparagraph (c) above then the Deposit shall be returned to
                Borrower after deducting all costs incurred by Lender in
                connection with the contemplated transaction including but not
                limited to attorney's fees, A/E inspections fees and any other
                out-of-pocket costs.

        4.4.3   Environmental, Asbestos and Land Use Matters:


                                                                   June 26, 1997
                                    Page 10
<PAGE>   150
                (a)     Lender will engage, at Borrower's cost, an environmental
                        consultant to perform a Phase I Environmental Site
                        Assessment ("ESA") of the Real Property and prepare a
                        report presenting related findings. The ESA shall be
                        conducted and the report shall be prepared in accordance
                        with ASTM E 1527-94, "Standard Practice for
                        Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental
                        Site Assessment Process." Borrower shall make available
                        to Lender and its environmental consultant all prior
                        environmental reports, including Phase I and Phase II
                        ESAs, documentation of environmental investigation and
                        remediation, Asbestos Surveys, records of any asbestos
                        abatement activities, or Operation and Maintenance
                        ("O&M") programs for asbestos-containing building.

                (b)     If deemed necessary by Lender as a result of the
                        findings of the ESA, Lender may require its
                        environmental consultant to perform additional testing
                        and/or investigation as may be required to ascertain
                        whether the Real Property has been contaminated and to
                        what extent. In addition, based on the characteristics
                        and location of the Real Property, Lender may require
                        its consultant to conduct testing for recognized
                        environmental concerns, including, without limitation,
                        radon, lead paint, lead-in-water, and indoor air
                        quality. Costs of such additional investigation shall be
                        borne by Borrower, and may require an additional fee to
                        be paid to Lender.

                (c)     Lender may require its consultant to perform an asbestos
                        assessment ("Asbestos Assessment") as a part of the ESA,
                        based upon the age, use and condition of the Real
                        Property and the existence of a prior asbestos
                        assessment to confirm that there are no
                        asbestos-containing materials ("ACM") at the Real
                        Property, or that any ACM present is not friable.

                (d)     Borrower shall provide Lender a representation, warranty
                        and covenant that Borrower and any holders of a
                        substantial beneficial or ownership interest in Borrower
                        that are designated by Lender in its reasonable
                        discretion have not, and to the best of Borrower's
                        knowledge, no prior owner or current or prior tenant,
                        subtenant, or other occupant of all or any part of the
                        Real Property, has used Hazardous Materials on, from or
                        affecting the Real Property in any manner that violates
                        federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules,
                        regulation or policies governing the use, storage,
                        treatment, transportation, manufacture, refinement,
                        handling, production, or disposal of Hazardous Materials
                        (collectively, the "Environmental Laws"), and that to
                        the best of Borrower's knowledge, no Hazardous Materials
                        have been disposed of on the Real Property.

                (e)     Lender shall also require a representation and warranty
                        that, to the best of Borrower's knowledge and belief,
                        except for any ACM identified in the Asbestos
                        Assessment, the Real Property does not contain, and has
                        not in the past contained, any ACM and there is no
                        current or potential airborne contamination of the Real
                        Property by asbestos fiber, including any potential
                        contamination that would be caused by maintenance or
                        tenant finish activities in the building(s).


                                                                   June 26, 1997

<PAGE>   151
                (f)     An agreement (the "Environmental Indemnification
                        Agreement") that Borrower, and any holders of
                        substantial beneficial or ownership interests in
                        Borrower that are designated by Lender in its reasonable
                        discretion, will indemnify Lender and its agents
                        against, and hold Lender and its agents harmless from,
                        any and all loss, cost, expense, claim or liability that
                        Lender or its agents may incur as a result of violations
                        of Environmental Laws in connection with the Real
                        Property or the disposal of Hazardous Materials on the
                        Real Property or migration of Hazardous Materials onto
                        the Real Property and such indemnity shall survive the
                        transaction contemplated herein and shall survive the
                        event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or conveyance of
                        the Real Property in lieu thereof as to violations or
                        disposal or migration occurring prior to such
                        foreclosure or conveyance.

                In the event that all provisions of this paragraph are not
                provided to Lender's satisfaction, then Lender may terminate
                Lender's obligations hereunder and the Deposit, the Engineering
                Cost Deposit and the Lender Fee shall be retained by Lender as
                consideration for evaluating this Agreement, agreeing to make
                the loan and holding the funds for future disbursements.
                However, in the event Lender is not satisfied with either the
                report required in subparagraph 4.4.3 (a) and (c) herein or with
                any remedies proposed by Borrower to address problems disclosed
                by said report and Lender therefore terminates Lender's
                obligations hereunder, then Borrower shall be entitled to a
                return of the Deposit and the Engineering Cost Deposit after
                deduction of all costs incurred by Lender in connection with the
                contemplated transaction. Lender shall also retain the Lender
                Fee.

        4.4.4   Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") Requirements:

                Prior to Lender's acceptance of this Agreement, if available,
                and in no event less than forty-five (45) days prior to closing,
                the Borrower shall submit a plan of action (the "ADA Compliance
                Plan"), in form and substance acceptable to Lender based upon an
                ADA Survey. Such ADA Compliance Plan shall include a prioritized
                list of the items to be accomplished, including a timetable for
                completion thereof, prepared and carried out so as to bring the
                Real Property into compliance with ADA. The ADA Compliance Plan
                shall be based upon an ADA Survey prepared by a consultant
                acceptable to Lender. The ADA Survey shall detail the extent to
                which the Real Property complies and does not comply with Title
                III of the ADA and identify those non-compliance items that are
                "readily achievable" as that term is defined under the ADA. The
                loan documents shall contain a provision requiring Borrower to
                implement the ADA Compliance Plan in accordance with its terms.

4.5     Evidence of Approvals: Borrower will be required to obtain and at all
        times keep in full force and effect such governmental approvals as may
        be necessary to comply with all governmental requirements, including all
        environmental and land use matters relating to the Real Property and its
        occupancy, as such requirements may exist from time to time. At closing,
        Borrower will provide Lender with proof, including without limitation,
        attorneys' opinions and architects' or engineers' certifications, that
        such approvals have been obtained and that all applicable appeal periods
        have expired and that the Real Property complies with all laws and
        regulations including, without limitation,


                                                                   June 26, 1997
                                    Page 12
<PAGE>   152
        building and zoning laws and regulations; all such proof and any
        conditions thereto must be acceptable to Lender.


                      SECTION 5 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

5.1     Interpretation: All of Borrower's representations and agreements and all
        other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement are material
        conditions to the closing of the Loan, or any subsequent advance of Loan
        proceeds after the Closing Date, and are established for the protection
        of Lender. Lender may, at its sole discretion, waive any such
        conditions.

5.2     Costs: Whether or not closing occurs, Borrower agrees to pay all costs
        incidental to the transaction contemplated hereby, including without
        limitation all costs of title insurance; appraisal and engineering fees;
        revenue stamps; recording fees; attorneys' fees (whether charged by

        legal research, legal opinions or any other legal services Lender seeks
        in connection with this transaction; mortgage tax, if any; survey cost;
        and any and all other incidental expenses incurred by Lender relating to
        the Loan. Excluded from the foregoing are the expenses of Lender's loan
        department and personnel.

5.3     No Commitment: Borrower agrees not to apply for, or accept, a commitment

        this Agreement.

5.4     No Prior Agreement: Upon execution by Lender this Agreement will
        supersede all other prior dealings between Borrower and Lender with
        regard to the Loan, except to the extent Borrower has made prior
        representations to Lender regarding any aspect of the transaction
        contemplated hereby. Prior receipt of any document will not constitute
        approval of that document unless expressly stated otherwise within this
        Agreement.

        consists of the Mortgage Loan Application and Agreement, Special

        Forms (Exhibit E), and the following exhibits attached hereto (if any):
        n/a.

5.6     Choice of Law: This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of

        by the laws of another state having significant contacts with the loan
        transaction, the loan documents will be governed by the laws of the
        state in which the Real Property is located.

5.7     No Assignment: This Agreement may not be assigned by Borrower without

        partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, corporation or other
        business entity, Borrower shall furnish Lender with such documents as
        Lender may require to determine that the entity is legally formed and
        existing and able to enter into the Loan, and that the individuals
        executing the loan documents are empowered to do so; said documents
        shall include


                                                                   June 26, 1997

        without limitation partnership agreements, charters, by-laws,
        resolutions and evidence of good standing. If the entity which is to be
        the Borrower under this Agreement is not already formed, it must be duly
        and legally constituted in accordance with all applicable laws, rules
        and regulations before closing, Borrower's obligations under this
        Agreement must be performed by an entity satisfactory to Lender and this

                                                                    May 30, 1997
<PAGE>   157
                                    EXHIBIT C

                                RENTS AND LEASES

Approval of Leases Prior to Closing Date: Prior to the Closing Date, all leases
and sub-leases (and any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals
thereof) affecting the Real Property must be submitted to Lender for written
approval. All leases identified on the Rent Roll described herein shall be
submitted to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. Prior
to closing Borrower shall deliver to Lender for Lender's review and approval
Borrower's standard form of tenant lease.

Rent Roll: On the Closing Date the tenants listed in Exhibit C-1 must be in
occupancy of the premises under Approved Leases providing for the terms set
forth in the Rent Roll attached as Exhibit C-1, in form as set forth herein. An
"Approved Lease" shall mean a lease which meets all of the following
requirements:

        (a)     The lease must be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

        (b)     The tenant thereunder must be satisfactory to Lender.

        (c)     The tenant and their guarantors are solvent and not subject to
                any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings, or any
                FDIC or FSLIC proceedings, investigations or reviews.

        (d)     The lease must be in full force and effect with the tenant in
                occupancy of the premises and paying rent on a current basis
                with no offsets or defenses; there must be no prepayment of rent
                other than as provided in the Lease; the landlord and tenant
                must not be in default in any of their obligations under such
                lease.

Rental concessions such as free rent, above standard tenant improvements, moving
allowances, lease buyouts, or any other monetary tenant inducement must be noted
on the Rent Roll. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver a Rent Roll
certified by Borrower to be true and complete.

Estoppels: Not less than five (5) days prior to closing Borrower will furnish
Lender with lease ratification agreements executed by both the tenant and the
landlord under all leases. Each ratification agreement is to be satisfactory to
Lender dated within forty-five (45) days of closing, and substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 with such additions and modifications as
Lender shall require or approve.

Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment: All leases must be subordinate to
the lien of the Mortgage unless Lender may otherwise specify; Lender may require
that specific leases be made superior to the lien of the Mortgage and that
certain provisions of such superior leases be made subject to the lien of the
Mortgage. Lender shall require the execution of subordination, attornment and
non-disturbance agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E-3 from all tenants unless specifically waived by Lender. The loan documents
shall permit Lender to require subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreements for all leases executed during the Term.


                                                                    May 30, 1997

<PAGE>   158
Assignment of Leases: Lender will receive an assignment of lessor's interest in
leases which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall
provide Lender with a perfected first lien security interest in all rents,
royalties, issues, profits, license fees, concession fees, lease termination
fees, option payments, reimbursements, charges, deposits, and other revenues of
every kind and nature or due by virtue of the leases (collectively, the
"Rents"). Lender will be authorized to notify tenants of the existence of such
assignment, but Lender will not exercise its right to collect Rents unless a
default occurs in the Loan.

Lease Approval After Closing Date: After the Closing Date, all leases and
sub-leases (and any amendments, modifications, extensions or renewals thereof)
executed after the Closing Date must be submitted to Lender for prior written
approval, and Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a fully-executed copy of
all such approved leases.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as there is no event of default under
any of the loan documents, Lender shall waive its requirement to receive and
approve all leases and subleases (and any amendments, modifications, extensions
or renewals thereof) by separate agreement provided the following requirements
are met ("Approval Waiver Requirements"):

        (a)     The lease covers an area no greater than 10,000 square feet of
                net rentable area;

        (b)     The lease is written on a standard form of lease which Lender
                has previously approved in writing with no material changes;

        (c)     The length of the lease term is not less than one (1) year and
                no greater than ten (10) years, including any renewal or
                extension options;

        (d)     The effective rent provided for over the lease term is
                consistent with the then current market effective rent of
                comparable space in competitive properties. The schedule of rent
                shall not decline over the lease term, including any extension.
                At Lender's option, an effective rent schedule shall be provided
                by borrower annually for written approval by Lender;

        (e)     The lease does not (a) grant the tenant any purchase option or
                right of first refusal to purchase the property, (b) grant the
                tenant any interest in the ownership of the Real Property or
                provide any incentives equivalent to an ownership interest in
                the Real Property, or (c) otherwise contain terms that would
                cause a material impairment of Lender's security;

        (f)     The lease does not provide for the payment for tenant
                improvement work or leasing commissions at any time other than
                at commencement of the lease;

        (g)     The lease shall be an arms length transaction and not be to
                Borrower, an affiliate of Borrower, or a creditor of Borrower
                and the Borrower shall not assign any portion of the rental to
                any third party.


Notwithstanding the Approval Waiver Requirements set forth above, Lender agrees
to conditionally modify subsection (a ) above by increasing the square footage
requirement to 25,000 square feet, provided that all other requirements of
subsections (b) through (i) are met. Borrower acknowledges that Lender will from
time to time review and evaluate the status of the Loan and that Lender shall
retain the right, in its sole discretion, to re-instate the lower square 


                                                                    May 30, 1997

Lender's notice to reinstate the lower square footage requirement, the square
footage requirement shown in subsection (a) above shall be immediately
reinstated

             SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

Tenant Name: _________________________________
Trade Name: __________________________________
Room/Unit No.: _______________________________


        THIS AGREEMENT is dated the _____ day of ________________, 19___, and is
made by and among CONNECTICUT GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, having an address
c/o CIGNA Investments, Inc., 900 Cottage Grove Road, Bloomfield, Connecticut
06002, Attn: Real Estate Investment Services S-319 ("Mortgagee"),

_________________________________________________________,
d/b/a_____________________________________________________, having an address of
_________________________________________________________ ("Tenant"), and 
_______________________________________________________, having an address of
_________________________________________________________ ("Landlord).

                                    RECITALS:

        A.      Tenant has entered into a lease ("Lease") dated
_____________________________, 19__ with _______________________ as lessor
("Landlord"), covering the premises known as ________________________ (the
"Premises") within the property known as ________________________, more
particularly described as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto (the "Real
Property").

        B.      Mortgagee has agreed to make or has made a mortgage loan in the
amount of ________________________ to Landlord, secured by a mortgage of the
Real Property (the "Mortgage"), and the parties desire to set forth their
agreement herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:

        1.      The Lease and all extensions, renewals, replacements or
modifications thereof are and shall be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage
and all terms and conditions thereof insofar as it affects the Real Property of
which the Premises form a part, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, to the full extent of
amounts secured thereby and interest thereon.

        2.      Tenant shall attorn to and recognize any purchaser at a
foreclosure sale under the Mortgage, any transferee who acquires the Premises by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, and the successors and assigns of such
purchaser(s), as its landlord for the unexpired balance (and any extensions, if
exercised) of the term of the Lease on the same terms and conditions set forth
in the Lease.


                                                                    May 30, 1997
<PAGE>   167
        3.      If it becomes necessary to foreclose the Mortgage, Mortgagee
shall neither terminate the Lease nor join Tenant in summary or foreclosure
proceedings so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms,
covenants, or conditions of the Lease.

        4.      If Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the
Lease, Mortgagee shall not be:

                a.      liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord
(including Landlord);

                b.      liable for the return of any security deposit unless
such deposit has been delivered to Mortgagee by Landlord or is in an escrow fund
available to Mortgagee;

                c.      subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might
have against any prior landlord (including Landlord);

                d.      bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant might
have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including
Landlord);

                e.      bound by any amendment, modification, or termination of
the Lease made without Mortgagee's consent;

                f.      personally liable under the Lease, Mortgagee's liability
thereunder being limited to its interest in the Real Property; or

                g.      bound by any notice of termination given by Landlord to
Tenant without Mortgagee's prior written consent thereto.

        5.      This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

        6.      Tenant shall give Mortgagee, by certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by commercial overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of
default served on Landlord, at Mortgagee's address set forth above or at such
other address as to which Tenant has been notified in writing. If Landlord shall
have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in the Lease, then
Mortgagee shall have an additional ten (10) days within which to cure any
default capable of being cured by the payment of money and an additional thirty
(30) days within which to cure any other default or if such default cannot be
cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary to cure
such default shall be granted if within such thirty (30) days Mortgagee has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default
(including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if
necessary to effect such cure), in which event the Lease shall not be terminated
while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

        7. Landlord has agreed under the Mortgage and other loan documents that
rentals payable under the Lease shall be paid directly by Tenant to Mortgagee
upon default by Landlord under the Mortgage. After receipt of notice from
Mortgagee to Tenant, at the address set forth above or at such other address as
to which Mortgagee has been notified in writing, that rentals under the Lease
should be paid to Mortgagee, Tenant shall pay to Mortgagee, or at the direction
of Mortgagee, all monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease.
Tenant shall have no responsibility to ascertain whether such demand by


                                                                    May 30, 1997
<PAGE>   168
Mortgagee is permitted under the Mortgage, or to inquire into the existence of a
default. Landlord hereby waives any right, claim, or demand it may now or
hereafter have against Tenant by reason of such payment to Mortgagee, and any
such payment shall discharge the obligations of Tenant to make such payment to
Landlord.

        8.      Tenant declares, agrees and acknowledges that Mortgagee, in
making disbursements pursuant to any agreement relating to the Loan, is under no
obligation or duty to, nor has Mortgagee represented that it will, see to the
application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Mortgagee
disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for
purposes other than those provided for in such agreement shall not defeat the
subordination herein made in whole or in part.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed these presents as
of the day and year first above written.

<PAGE>   190
in accordance with Article 14 hereof or as may be otherwise expressly provided
for in this Agreement.

        B. The foregoing power of attorney is hereby declared to be irrevocable
and a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of
the Partners will be relying upon the power of the General Partner and any
Liquidator to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing or other

Partnership Units and shall extend to such Limited Partner's or Assignee's
heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives. Each such Limited
Partner or Assignee hereby agrees to be bound by any representation made by the
General Partner or any Liquidator, acting in good faith pursuant to such power
of attorney, and each such Limited Partner or Assignee hereby waives any and all
defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of
the General Partner or any Liquidator, taken in good faith under such power of
attorney in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each Limited
Partner or Assignee shall execute and deliver to the General Partner or the
Liquidator, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the General Partner's or
Liquidator's request therefor, such further designation, powers of attorney and
other instruments as the General Partner or the Liquidator, as the case may be,
deems necessary to effectuate this Agreement and the purposes of the
Partnership.

                                     PURPOSE

        Section 3.1 Purpose and Business

        The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the
Partnership is: (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a
limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act; provided, however, that such
business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the
General Partner at all times to be classified as a REIT, unless the General
Partner ceases to qualify as a REIT for reasons other than the conduct of the
business of the Partnership; (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture
or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing or to own
interests in any entity engaged in any of the foregoing; and (iii) to do


                                      -15-


<PAGE>   191
anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. In connection with the
foregoing, and without limiting the General Partner's right, in its sole
discretion, to cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge the General
Partner's current status as a REIT inures to the benefit of all of the Partners
and not solely the General Partner.

        Section 3.2 Powers

        The Partnership is empowered to do any and all acts and things
necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental to or convenient for the
furtherance and accomplishment of the purposes and business described herein and
for the protection and benefit of the Partnership; provided, however, that the
Partnership shall not take, or refrain from taking, any action which, in the
judgment of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) could
adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a
REIT; (ii) could subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code; or (iii) could violate any law or
regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the
General Partner or its securities, unless such action (or inaction) shall have
been specifically consented to by the General Partner in writing.

        Section 3.3 Technical Revisions

        The Limited Partners agree to, and the General Partner is hereby
authorized to make, any modifications or amendments to this Agreement that may
be necessary for the General Partner to maintain its status as a real estate
investment trust or in order for it to avoid a penalty or tax; provided,
however, that such modification or amendment does not materially alter or affect
adversely any Limited Partner's rights, duties, or obligations under this
Agreement.

                              CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

        Section 4.1 Initial Capital Contributions of the Partners

        A.(1) Concurrently with the Closing, the General Partner shall
contribute to the Partnership cash up to, but not exceeding, a maximum of
$4,000,000, as described and in accordance with the terms, provisions, and
conditions of the Master Contribution Agreement as necessary for the purposes of
paying down and/or restructuring the Cigna Debt.

         (2) Concurrently with the Closing, the General Partner shall pay or
credit Eden with the "Commissions" and "Qualifying Eden Closing Costs" (pursuant
to and as defined in the Master Contribution Agreement). The Commissions and
Qualifying Eden


                                      -16-


<PAGE>   192
Closing Costs paid or credited to Eden by the General Partner shall constitute
Capital Contributions by the General Partner.

         (3) Concurrently with the Closing, the General Partner shall contribute
to (or pay on behalf of) the Partnership or the General Partner the cash
necessary to pay the transaction costs, closing costs and prorations to be paid
by the Partnership or the General Partner or which are designated as Partnership
or General Partner expenses pursuant to the Master Contribution Agreement. The
amounts so contributed or paid by the General Partner shall constitute Capital
Contributions by the General Partner.

        B. Concurrently with the Closing, Eden shall transfer, assign, convey,
and deliver all right, title, and interest in and to the real properties,
improvements, and other assets relating to the Original Properties as described
and in accordance with the terms, provisions, and conditions of the Master
Contribution Agreement. As stated therein, the Original Properties shall be
subject to debt in an amount no less than $12,000,000 (including holdbacks as
described therein) at the Closing, $12,000,000 of which shall be guaranteed by
Eden, but without recourse to the partners or members of Eden; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude amortization of such debt
in accordance with the applicable loan documents. The Agreed Value of the
Original Properties is set forth on Exhibit "D". The Capital Contribution of
the Original Limited Partners to the Partnership shall be equal to the Agreed
Value of the Original Properties. The number of Limited Partnership Units issued
to the Original Limited Partners on account of such Capital Contribution shall
be equal to the Agreed Value of the Original Properties divided by the "PGP
Share Price" (as defined in the Master Contribution Agreement).

        C. In consideration of their initial Capital Contributions, the Limited
Partners shall receive Limited Partnership Units in the amounts set forth on
Exhibit "A", and such amounts shall represent the initial Limited Partner
Percentage Interests shown on said Exhibit. The Limited Partner Percentage
Interests shall be adjusted in Exhibit "A" from time to time by the General
Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately redemptions, additional
Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Limited Partnership Units
(pursuant to any merger or otherwise), or similar or other events having an
effect on any Limited Partner's Limited Partner Percentage Interest. Except as
provided hereinabove and as expressly provided in Sections 4.3 and 10.5, the
Partners shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any additional or further
Capital Contributions, loans, or advances of any kind to the Partnership, or to
in any way finance the operation of the Partnership or any of the debt or
obligations of the Partnership.

        D. Except as provided in Section 13.3 of this Agreement and as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Capital Contribution of each Partner will be
returned to that Partner


                                      -17-


<PAGE>   193
only in the manner and to the extent provided in Article 5 and Article 13
hereof, and no Partner may withdraw from the Partnership or otherwise have any
right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution to the
Partnership, except as specifically provided herein. Under circumstances
requiring a return of any Capital Contribution, no Partner shall have the right
to receive property other than cash, except as specifically provided herein. No
Partner shall be entitled to interest on any Capital Contribution or Capital
Account. The General Partner shall not be liable for the return of any portion
of the Capital Contribution of any Limited Partner, and the return of such
Capital Contributions shall remain solely from Partnership assets.

        E. No Limited Partner shall have any further personal liability-to
contribute money to, or in respect of, the liabilities or the obligations of the
Partnership, nor shall any Limited Partner be personally liable for any
obligations of the Partnership, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement
or in the Act. No Limited Partner shall be required to make any contributions to
the capital of the Partnership other than as expressly, provided in this
Agreement.

        Section 4.2 Additional Capital Contributions by the General Partner

        From time to time at or following the Closing, the General Partner may,
but shall not be obligated to, contribute additional capital to the Partnership
to pay for any and all costs and expenses of (a) operating the Partnership and
(b) owning, operating, maintaining, repairing, improving, acquiring and selling
both Original and Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets, including but not
limited to Seismic Costs and any other Capital Contributions made to correct or
repair any items of seismic compliance, deferred maintenance and capital
improvements to the Original Properties.

        Section 4.3 Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests

        A. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership
from time to time to issue to the Partners (including the General Partner) or
other Persons additional Limited Partnership Units or other Partnership
Interests in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes,
with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other special rights, powers and duties, including, rights, powers and duties
senior to the Limited Partners (including the Original Limited Partners and
their heirs, successors and assigns), except that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to the Original Limited Partners Related Assets, any
such additional Limited Partnership Units or Partnership Interests shall, if at
all, only carry or give to their holders rights to receive distributions (as to
amount, timing, and priority) junior to the rights of the Original Limited
Partners as set forth in


                                      -18-


<PAGE>   194
this Agreement with respect to the Original Limited Partners Related Assets
unless and until (and not before) the General Partner has made the election
provided for in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. Following the making of such
election, the rights as to distributions pertaining to such additional Limited
Partnership Units or Partnership Interests may be equal or junior to those of
the Original Limited Partners and their heirs, successors and assigns. Subject
to the foregoing, the rights, privileges, benefits, burdens, and restrictions
relating to any such additional Limited Partnership Units or Partnership
Interests shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion (but without creating different priorities as between the Limited
Partner Interests and the General Partner Interests received by the General
Partner and the Original Limited Partners in connection with the contributions
provided for under the Master Contribution Agreement), subject to Delaware law,
including, without limitation: (i) the allocations of items of Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of
Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or series of
Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; and (iii) the
rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution
and liquidation of the Partnership; provided that no such additional Limited
Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General
Partner, as the General Partner, or a Limited Partner, or to an Affiliate of
either the General Partner or a Limited Partner, unless the additional
Partnership Interests are issued for a fair economic consideration determined at
the time of or within ninety (90) days prior to the issuance, or unless the
issuance of such additional Partnership Interests is otherwise permitted under
the terms and provisions of this Agreement. A determination by an independent
investment banker or financial advisor that the consideration paid or proposed
to be paid by the General Partner in this regard is a fair economic
consideration, or is otherwise fair from a financial point of view, to the
Partnership shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all
purposes, and shall constitute a conclusive, non-rebuttable presumption that the
consideration so paid represented fair, good faith, and proper action by the
General Partner with the Partnership as concerns the General Partner's dealings
and transactions with the Partnership in relation to such issuance.

        B. If the General Partner makes the election provided for in Section 5.2
of this Agreement, then thereafter the General Partner shall be authorized at
any time, in its sole discretion, and without the need for any vote, consent or
approval from, or consultation with, any Limited Partner, and further without
the need for any appraisal, valuation, or any other analysis or evaluation of
any property, assets, rights, debts, liabilities, obligations, claims, title,
encumbrances, or any other matters of any sort from any person, to contribute,
assign, convey, and transfer all, but not less than all, of the General
Partner's rights, title, claims, interests, debts, duties, liabilities, and


                                      -19-


<PAGE>   195
obligations, in, to, and relating to all, but not less than all, of the General
Partner's assets, properties, debts, liabilities, and obligations (excluding the
General Partner's rights, title, claims, interests, debts, duties, liabilities,
and obligations in, to, and relating to its interest in the Partnership, and
also excluding same as such relates to any other entity in which the General
Partner has an interest but which does not own a direct or indirect interest in
real property) to the Partnership. In exchange therefor, the Partnership shall
immediately issue to the General Partner (A) that number of Limited Partnership
Units equal to the number of the outstanding shares of common stock of the
General Partner at the time of such contribution by the General Partner to the
Partnership, and (B) options, warrants, and other rights to acquire additional
Limited Partnership Units in the Partnership and other securities of the
Partnership on a unit-for-unit basis equivalent to, and on the same terms and
conditions as, all options, warrants, and other rights and securities issued and
then outstanding ("General Partner Security Rights") with regard to any shares
of capital stock or other securities of any kind of the General Partner then or
thereafter issued. After consolidation of the General Partner's affairs into the
Partnership as described in this Section, upon the exercise by any holder of
any General Partner Security Rights and the General Partner's issuance of its
securities to the exercising party with respect thereto, or the issuance of any
other securities of the General Partner, the General Partner promptly shall
contribute to the Partnership any consideration received upon such exercise (net
of all costs, fees, expenses, and commissions relating thereto), and the
Partnership shall thereupon issue to the General Partner an equivalent number of
Limited Partnership Units (in the case of issuances by the General Partner of
shares of its common stock) or an equivalent number of other interests in the
Partnership which have parallel and comparable rights and privileges to the
rights and privileges of the securities issued by the General Partner (in the
case of issuances by the General Partners other than shares of its common
stock.)

        Section 4.4 Preemptive Rights

        Only the General Partner shall have the right to make the additional
Capital Contributions described in Section 4.2. Except as provided in Section
4.2 hereof, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar
right with respect to: (i) the making of additional Capital Contributions or
loans to the Partnership; or (ii) the issuance or sale of any Limited
Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests.

        Section 5.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions

        A. Subject to Section 5.6, on or before ninety (90) days after the end
of each calendar quarter the General Partner shall distribute to the Partners
who are partners on the Partnership Record Date for such calendar quarter an
amount equal to 100% of the Available Cash for such calendar quarter in the
following order of priority:

         (1) First, to the Limited Partners pro rata in accordance with their
respective Limited Partner Percentage Interests, until such time as the
distribution made pursuant to this Section 5.1A(1) on account of each Limited
Partnership Unit held by a Limited Partner for the calendar quarter in which the
distributions are made equals the cash dividend paid to the common shareholders
of the General Partner on account of one share of common stock of the General
Partner for such calendar quarter;

         (2) Second, if there then exists a Current Year Deficit, to the Limited
Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Limited Partner Percentage
Interests until such time as the distribution made pursuant to this Section
5.1A(2) eliminates the Current Year Deficit; provided, however, that if
Available Cash is not sufficient to eliminate the Current Year Deficit for the
calendar year on account of which the distributions are made, any remaining
Current Year Deficit shall not be carried forward and shall be disregarded in
determining distributions to be made pursuant to this Section 5.1A in subsequent
quarters; and

         (3) Thereafter, to the General Partner.

        B. Distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be made in the
foregoing order of priority, with all Available Cash being distributed at the
highest level of priority until that level of priority is completely satisfied
before any Available Cash is distributed at a lower level of priority, and
distributions at a lower level of priority not being made or being only
partially made if Available Cash is insufficient therefor.

        C. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
quarterly distribution of Available Cash made on account of each Limited
Partnership Unit for the calendar quarter which contains the Effective Date
shall not exceed the dividend paid to common shareholders of the General Partner
on account of a share of common stock of the General Partner for the calendar
quarter which contains the Effective Date, multiplied by


                                      -21-


<PAGE>   197
a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of days from and including
the Effective Date to and including the last day of such calendar quarter, and
(y) the denominator of which is the total number of days in such calendar
quarter.

        Section 5.2 General Partner Election

        The General Partner may elect, at any time, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to have all future calculations of Available Cash based upon all
Partnership assets without distinction between Original and Non-Original Limited
Partner Related Assets, and to have all future distributions to Limited Partners
made pursuant to the following terms in lieu of the terms of Section 5.1 (an
election under this Section, once made, shall be irrevocable):

         A. First, the General Partner shall make distributions or payments to
the Limited Partners regardless of the availability or amount of Available Cash,
in an amount, on account of each Limited Partnership Unit held by a Limited
Partner for the calendar quarter in which the distributions are made, equal to
the cash dividend paid to the common shareholders of the General Partner on
account of one share of common stock of the General Partner for such calendar
quarter; and

         B. Thereafter, to the General Partner.

        Section 5.3 Amounts Withheld

        All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state
or local tax law and Section 10.5 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment
or distribution to the Partners or Assignees shall be treated as amounts
distributed to the Partners or Assignees pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2 for all
purposes under this Agreement.

        Section 5.4 Distributions Upon Liquidation

        Proceeds from a Liquidating Event, if any, and any other cash received
or reductions in reserves made after commencement of the liquidation of the
Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section
13.2.

        Section 5.5 Other Assets Present

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and after the Partnership acquires
Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets, or becomes obligated, indebted or
liable for or on account of Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets or the
ownership or operation thereof, and so long as the General Partner has not
consummated the transactions and made the election described in Sections 4.3B
and 5.2, respectively, of this Agreement, then distributions of Available Cash
to the General Partner and the Original Limited Partners (and the Original
Limited Partners' heirs, successors


                                      -22-

and assigns) under the terms of the foregoing shall be calculated and made only
with respect to Original Limited Partner Related Assets and the ownership and
operation thereof, together with the operation and existence of the Partnership
insofar as such concerns the Original Limited Partner Related Assets.
Distributions under the terms of the foregoing shall not include any revenues,
expenses, assets, or liabilities of the Partnership relating to the Non-Original
Limited Partner Related Assets, the ownership or operation thereof, or the
operation or existence of the Partnership with respect thereto, all of which
shall be as separately determined by the General Partner in its sole and
absolute discretion.

        Section 5.6 Seismic Costs

        Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, from the
amounts otherwise distributable to the Original Limited Partners pursuant to
Sections 5.1A(1), 5.1A(2) and 5-2A, the General Partner shall instead pay or
establish a reserve to pay (or to reimburse the General Partner to the extent
the General Partner has paid) the Seismic Costs. The amount so reserved or paid
(or reimbursed to the General Partner) in each calendar quarter shall equal the
greater of either (a) $25,000; or (b) the amount which, when added to all
amounts previously reserved or paid (or reimbursed to the General Partner)
equals the total amount of all Seismic Costs incurred by the Partnership and the
General Partner to the date of such quarterly distribution. The Seismic Costs
shall be incurred and paid (or reimbursed to the General Partner) in such order
as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. No
amounts shall be distributed to the Limited Partners pursuant to Sections
5.1A(1), 5.1A(2) or 5.2A unless and until the full amount set forth in the
second sentence of this Section 5.6 has been reserved or paid (or reimbursed to
the General Partner) in full. Nevertheless, all amounts on account of Seismic
Costs which would otherwise have been distributed to the Limited Partners but
for the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall be treated as having been
distributed to the Limited Partners pursuant to Sections 5.1A(1), 5.1A(2) or 5.2
for all purposes under this Agreement. When all Seismic Costs have been paid (or
reimbursed to the General Partner) in full, any funds remaining in such Seismic
Costs reserve shall be distributed to the Original Limited Partners pro rata in
accordance with their respective Limited Partner Percentage Interests.

         (5) Fifth, to the General Partner.

        Section 6.2 Other Allocations

        A. For purposes of Regulations Section 1.752, the Partners agree that

such debt in accordance with the applicable loan documents.

        B. Any gain allocated to the General Partner and the Original Limited
Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset

been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the
treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

        C. If and after the Partnership acquires Non-Original Limited Partner

Agreement, then allocations of Net Income, Net Loss, and any other items to the
Original Limited Partners and their heirs, successors and assigns under this
Agreement shall be calculated separately with respect to Original Limited
Partner Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof, together with
the operation and existence of the Partnership insofar as such concerns the
Original Limited Partner Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof.
Such allocations and calculations shall not include any revenues, expenses,
assets, or liabilities of the Partnership relating to the Non-Original Limited
Partner Related Assets, the ownership or operation thereof, or the operation or

separately determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion.

transactions on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or
vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation, to the fullest extent permitted
under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation. The execution,
delivery or performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of any
agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a
breach by the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the
Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement or
of any duty stated or implied by law or equity.

        C. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may

hereof.

                                      -29-


<PAGE>   205
following during the No Sale Period unless and until (on a property-by-property
basis if applicable) such is accomplished in a manner which is fully tax
deferred to, and does not produce any income tax liability for, an Original
Limited Partner as a result thereof:

        A. sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Original
Properties;

        B. pay down the Cigna Debt or, if the Cigna Debt is refinanced, any
refinanced debt, or change any of the terms of the Cigna Debt or refinanced debt
such as the debt is less than $12,000,000, not secured by the Original
Properties, or not guaranteed by Eden (other than as contemplated by the Master
Contribution Agreement or as required by the loan documents or any other
agreement ancillary thereto), nor take any other action which would result in a
reduction of the allocation of debt to the Original Limited Partners for
purposes of computing such parties' basis for income tax purposes; provided,

in accordance with the applicable loan documents;

        C. fail to use reasonable, good faith and diligent efforts to avoid a

may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the continuation,
qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which
the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware and any
other state, or the District of Columbia, in which the Partnership may elect to
do business or own property. To the extent that such action is determined by the
General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General
Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all
of the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a
partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws
of the State of Delaware and each other state, or the District of Columbia, in
which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the
terms of Section 8.5.A(4) hereof, the General Partner shall not be required,
before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any
amendment thereto to any Limited Partner.

        Section 7.4 Management Fee and Reimbursement of the General Partner

        A. The General Partner and/or its Affiliates shall have the right, but
not the obligation, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, to perform
all or any of the property management services on account of the property owned
or managed by the Partnership. If the General Partner elects to so perform, or
to have an Affiliate so perform, the property management services, then the
General Partner or its Affiliate shall be reimbursed by the Partnership for the
expenses it incurs in providing such services in amounts determined by the
General Partner, in its good faith discretion, to be comparable to amounts which
would be reimbursable on account of expenses to reputable unrelated third party
property management companies which have substantial experience in performing
property management services for properties of the type owned or managed by the
Partnership for institutional owners with portfolios under management which are
substantially similar in size, nature, and condition of property owned or
managed by the Partnership. In addition, if the General Partner elects to so
perform, or to have an Affiliate so perform, the property management services
described herein, it is agreed that a management fee of four percent (4%) of
gross income shall be paid by the Partnership to the General Partner or its
Affiliates for the property management services as contemplated hereunder. The
reimbursements and fees payable to the General Partner or its Affiliates under
this Section shall be paid no less frequently than monthly. Except as provided
in this Section 7.4A and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions
of Articles 5 and 6 regarding distributions, payments, and allocations to which
it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its
services as general partner of the Partnership. In furtherance of this Section,
the General Partner may cause the Partnership to enter into one or more property
management agreements with the General Partner or an Affiliate of the General
Partner, substantially in the form of the Management Agreement.

        B. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such
other basis as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all
costs and expenses that it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or
for the benefit of, the Original Properties, the Partnership or any of its other
assets or related to the administration of the Partnership and the Limited
Partnership Units. After consummation of the transactions and election described
in, respectively, Sections 4.3B and 5.2 of this Agreement as a result of which
the assets of the General Partner are conveyed to the Partnership, such
reimbursement shall include reimbursement to the General Partner for all general
and administrative costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the General Partner due
to its status as a public company, a qualified real estate investment trust, or
otherwise, and any and all other expenses incurred by the General Partner for
any matter, reason or thing whatsoever. Any reimbursement


                                      -31-


<PAGE>   207
under this Section shall be in addition to any reimbursement made as a result of
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof.

        C. It is also acknowledged and agreed that, after consummation of the
transactions and election described in, respectively, Sections 4.3B and 5.2 of
this Agreement as a result of which the assets of the General Partner are
conveyed to the Partnership, the General Partner will directly or indirectly
incur costs and expenses, and may issue stock or other securities, or both, to
persons employed or not employed, or retained or not retained, directly by the
Partnership. Such costs, expenses, and issuances may include, but not be limited
to, payment of general and administrative expenses by the General Partner,
including compensation and bonuses to its officers and directors, and the award
of stock grants and options to purchase securities of the General Partner. In
light of the foregoing, it is agreed that, after consummation of the
transactions and election described in, respectively, Section 4.3B and 5.2 of
this Agreement, appropriate actions shall be taken by the Partnership, as
determined by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to either (i)
reimburse the General Partner an appropriate portion of any such cost, expense,
or issuance, or (ii) adjust the General Partner's Interest in the Partnership so
as to prevent dilution of the General Partner's Interest.

        D. Without limiting the generality of Section 7.4C above, it is agreed
that if, at any time or from time to time after consummation of the transactions
and election described in, respectively, Sections 4.3B and 5.2 of this
Agreement, options to purchase REIT Shares or any other securities granted to
employees, consultants or advisors of the General Partner or any Equity
Affiliate under any Plan or otherwise as compensation or incentive are
exercised, or REIT Shares or any other securities are granted or awarded to
employees, consultants or advisors of the General Partner or any Equity
Affiliate under any Plan or otherwise as compensation or incentive, then the
Partnership promptly shall issue to the General Partner Limited Partnership
Units or other interests in the Partnership with comparable rights, benefits,
and privileges in an amount equal to the REIT Shares or other securities granted
and/or issued, as the case may be. If Limited Partnership Units or other
interests in the Partnership are issued to the General Partner as a result of
the exercise of options to purchase REIT Shares or other securities, then
concurrently with the issuance of the Limited Partnership Units or other
interests to the General Partner, the General Partner shall pay to the
Partnership the cash consideration received by the General Partner on account of
such exercise.

        E. After consummation of the transactions and elections described in
Sections 4.3B and 5.2 of this Agreement, in the event that the General Partner
shall elect to purchase from its shareholders REIT Shares for the purpose of
delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend
reinvestment program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock


                                      -32-


<PAGE>   208
purchase plan adopted by the Company, or any similar obligation or arrangement
undertaken by the General Partner in the future, the purchase price paid by the
General Partner for such REIT Shares and any other expenses incurred by the
General Partner in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of
the Partnership and shall be reimbursed to the General Partner, subject to the
conditions that: (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are to be sold by the
General Partner, the General Partner shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds
received by the General Partner for such REIT Shares (provided that a transfer
of REIT Shares for Limited Partnership Units pursuant to the Exchange Rights
Agreement would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and (ii) if such
REIT Shares are not re-transferred by the General Partner within 30 days after
the purchase thereof, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel
a number of Limited Partnership Units held by the General Partner equal to the
number of such REIT Shares (adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits,
reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, and the like with regard to the
REIT Shares prior to such cancellation of Limited Partnership Units).

        Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner

        The General Partner and its Affiliates shall be permitted to purchase,
own, operate, manage and otherwise deal with and profit from any property, real,
personal or mixed, not owned by the Partnership for their own account and
benefit, whether or not competitive with the business and affairs of the
Partnership, and neither the Partnership, any Limited Partner, or any other
Person shall have any right, claim, interest or cause of action therein or as a
result thereof. Without limiting the generality of the above, nothing in this
Agreement shall obligate the General Partner or its Affiliates to first offer
the Partnership an opportunity to invest in any investment which has been
offered to or found by the General Partner or its Affiliates, whether or not
such investment is of a nature that may be invested in by the Partnership or
would compete directly or indirectly with the business of the Partnership. The
Limited Partners hereby acknowledge that the General Partner currently owns a
variety of real estate investments and may in the future acquire additional real
estate investments that may be competitive with the business of the Partnership.

        Section 7.6 Contracts with Affiliates

        A. The Partnership may lend or contribute funds or other assets to its
Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment and such
Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions
established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The
foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any
Subsidiary or any other Person.


                                      -33-


<PAGE>   209
        B. Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 7.2 hereof, the
Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships,
corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a
participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this
Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion, believes are advisable.

        C. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General
Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property
to, or purchase or otherwise acquire any property from, the Partnership,
directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are determined by
the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable.

        D. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without
the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt, on behalf of the
Partnership, employee benefit plans, stock option plans, and similar plans
funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the Partnership,
Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of
services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership
or any Subsidiaries of the Partnership. Any or all of the foregoing may be
jointly established with the General Partner or its Affiliates, provided that in
such case the allocation of expense shall be shared among the parties on whose
behalf such plans exist as determined by the General Partner in good faith to be
fair and reasonable.

        Section 7.7 Indemnification

        A. To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Partnership
shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines,
settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
that relate to the operations of the Partnership or the General Partner in its
capacity as general partner of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement,
in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a
party or otherwise, whether or not suit or other legal proceedings are
commenced, unless it is established by a court of competent jurisdiction, and
all appeals relating thereto have been fully completed or the applicable appeal
periods have expired, that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was
material to the matter giving rise to the proceedings and either was committed
in intentional bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;
(ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper and unpermitted personal
benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the Indemnitee knew, or was reckless in not knowing, that the act or
omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the


                                      -34-


<PAGE>   210
foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee pursuant to
a loan guaranty, recourse obligation, general partner liability, or otherwise
for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership
(including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any
Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General
Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to
enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of
this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having
liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee
did not meet the requisite standard of conduct as set forth in this Section
7.7A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee, or an
entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, in each
case after all appeals relating thereto have been fully completed or the
applicable appeal periods have expired, creates a rebuttable presumption that
such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section
7.7A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification
pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the
Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have
any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, or otherwise
provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this
Section 7.7.

        B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a
proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the
final disposition of the proceeding.

        C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition
to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled
under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or
otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in
such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which
such Indemnitees are indemnified.

        D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and
maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the
General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted
against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the
Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the
power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of
this Agreement.

        E. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to
have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan
whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes
duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or


                                      -35 -


<PAGE>   211
beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect
to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines
within the meaning of this Section 7.7; and actions taken or omitted by the
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its
duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it 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 Partnership.

        F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal
liability by reason of the Indemnification provisions set forth in this
Agreement.

        G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part
under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction
with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was
otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

        H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators, and shall not
be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any
amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the Partnerships
liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7, 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 arise or
be asserted.

        Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner

        A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
the General Partner and its officers and directors shall not be liable for
monetary damages to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees for losses
sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or any act
or omission of the General partner undertaken in good faith.

        B. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner
is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the shareholders of the General
Partner collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to
consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (except as otherwise
provided herein) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or
decline to take) any actions, and that the General Partner shall not be liable
for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not
derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the
General Partner has acted in good faith.


                                      -36-


<PAGE>   212
        C. Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in
Section 7.1.A hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted
to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder
either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent
appointed by the General Partner in good faith.

        D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
limitations on the General Partner's and its officers and directors' liability
to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 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
arise or be asserted.

        Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

        A. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting, or
refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other
paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

        B. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants,
appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers,
environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and
any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such
Persons as to matters which such General Partner reasonably believes to be
within such Person's professional or expert competence shall be conclusively
presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such
opinion.

        C. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its
powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized
officers and duly appointed attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the
extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power
and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which is permitted or
required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

        D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act,
any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision
of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership,
undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or
advisable in order: (i) to protect the ability of the General Partner to
continue to qualify as a REIT; or (ii) to avoid the


                                      -37-


<PAGE>   213
General Partner incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the
Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all
of the Limited Partners.

        Section 7.10 Title to Partnership Assets

        Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether
tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an
entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership
interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all
of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the
General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine,
including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares
and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is being held in
the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General
Partner shall be held by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the
Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All Partnership
assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and
records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership
assets is held.

        Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person
dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General
Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval of any other
Partner or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all
assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the
Partnership, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership and such
Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if the General
Partner were the Partnership's sole party in interest, both legally and
beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other
remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, engage or
disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing.
In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its
representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have
been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or
action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every
certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership
by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in
favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that: (i)
at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or
instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect; (ii) the Person
executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly
authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership; and
(iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed


                                      -38-


<PAGE>   214
and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and
is binding upon the Partnership.

                   RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

        Section 8.1 Limitation of Liability

        The Limited Partners shall have no liability under this Agreement,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 10.5 hereof)
or under the Act.

        Section 8.2 Management of Business

        No Limited Partner or Assignee (other than the General Partner, any of
its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, agent or trustee of the
General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity
as such) shall take part in the operation, management or control (within the
meaning of the Act) of the Partnership's business, transact any business in the
Partnership's name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the
Partnership. The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of
its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of
the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their
capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the
liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

        Section 8.3 Outside Activities of Limited Partners

        A. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, it is agreed that any
Partner (General and/or Limited) and any Affiliate of any Partner (including any
officer, director, employee, agent, or representative of any Partner) shall be
entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in
addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and
activities that are in direct competition with the Partnership or that are
enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any
Partners shall have any rights, claims, or interests by virtue of this Agreement
or any relationships, duties or obligations hereunder (including, but not
limited to, any fiduciary or similar duties created by this Agreement, under the
Act, or otherwise existing at law or in equity) in any business ventures or
investments of any General Partner or Limited Partner, or any Affiliate of any
of the foregoing. None of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have
any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the Partnership relationship
established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person, and such Person
shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any
such business ventures to


                                      -39-


<PAGE>   215
the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such
opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, any
Limited Partner or such other Person could be taken by such Person.

        B. It is further agreed that none of the Partners, General or Limited,
or any of their Affiliates, have any duty, obligation, or liability to present
to the Partnership any business or investment opportunity which may arise in the
course of activity for or on behalf of the Partnership, or otherwise, for
investment by the Partnership or any of the Partners (even if within the line
and scope of the business and affairs of the Partnership), and instead any
Partner, General or Limited, and any Affiliate may pursue such opportunity for
such Partner's or Affiliate's own benefit and account, without any
participation, right, or claim therein by the Partnership or any other Partner,
and without notification or disclosure to the Partnership or any other Partner.

        Section 8.4 Return of Capital

        No Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its
Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to
this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein. Except
to the extent provided by Exhibit "C" hereof or as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any
other Limited Partner or Assignee, either as to the return of Capital
Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.

        Section 8.5 Rights of Limited Partners Relating to the Partnership

        A. In addition to the other rights provided by this Agreement or by the
Act, and except as limited by Section 8.5.B hereof, each Limited Partner shall
have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner's
interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a
statement of the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner's own
expense (including such copying and administrative charges as the General
Partner may establish from time to time):

sheet, income statement, and related financial statements prepared by the
Partnership;

         (2) to obtain a copy of the Partnership's federal, state and local

                                     - 40 -


<PAGE>   216
         (4) to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate and all
amendments thereto, together with executed copies of all powers of attorney
pursuant to which this Agreement, the Certificate and all amendments thereto
have been executed; and

         (5) to obtain true and full information regarding the amount of cash
and a description and statement of any other property or services contributed by
each Partner and which each Partner has agreed to contribute in the future, and
the date on which each became a Partner to the extent the foregoing is
materially different from information contained in financial statements or other
reports provided to Limited Partners.

         (6) to obtain quarterly and annual balance sheets and income statements
regularly prepared by the Partnership in order to verify the correctness of
distributions of cash, if any, to the Limited Partner in accordance with the

Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time
as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be
reasonable, desirable or necessary any information that: )(i) the General
Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other
information, the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes
is not in the best interests of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership
or its business; or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or by agreement with
an unaffiliated third party to keep confidential. If the General Partner desires
to disclose any information of the type described in the preceding paragraphs
(i) or (ii) to a Limited Partner, the General Partner may require, as a
condition to such disclosure, that the Limited Partner agree in writing that
such information will be held in strictest confidence and no distribution of
such information will be made.

        Section 8.6 No Redemption Right

        No Limited Partner (other than the General Partner) shall have the right
to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Limited Partnership
Units held by such Limited Partner.

        Section 8.7 Representations and Warranties

        Each Limited Partner represents and warrants to the General Partner and
the Partnership that:

        A. He, she or it has received and reviewed that certain Prospectus Of
the General Partner dated May 27, 1997, that certain Prospectus Supplement dated
June 5, 1997, and that certain Registration Statement, filed March 19, 1997, as
amended


                                      -41-


<PAGE>   217
and filed April 10, 1997, of which the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement are
a part, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act and has
had access to such additional financial and other information, including without
limitation the General Partner's most current Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, the
General Partners' 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders' and the General Partners'
Notice of 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and accompanying Proxy Statement,
and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of the
General Partner, and to receive answers to those questions, as they have deemed
necessary.

        B. He, she or it acknowledges that the Limited Partnership Units are
being acquired in a transaction not involving any public offering within the
meaning of the Securities Act and that the Limited Partnership Units have not
been registered under the Securities Act and agrees not to offer, sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of the Limited Partnership Units (except for such transfer
as described in subsection D, below) in the absence of registration under the
Securities Act unless such Limited Partner delivers to the Partnership and the
General Partner an opinion of a lawyer reasonably satisfactory to the
Partnership and the General Partner, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Partnership and the General Partner, to the effect that the proposed sale,
transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

         C. He, she or it is either (a) an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, or (b) a person
who either alone or with his, her or its purchaser representative (as defined in
Rule 501(h) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Limited Partnership
Units or any other security acquired hereunder. He, she or it has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
alone, or together with his, her or its purchaser representative or personal
advisor the merits and risks of an investment in the Limited Partnership Units
or any other security delivered hereunder and protecting his, her or its own
interests in connection with the investment and has obtained, in his, her or its
judgment, alone, or together with his, her or its purchaser representative or
personal advisor sufficient information from the General Partner to evaluate the
merits and risks of an investment in the Limited Partnership Units or any other
security delivered hereunder. He, she or it acknowledges that he, she or it has
the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment in
the Limited Partnership Units, has adequate means for providing for his, her or
its current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with
respect to the investment in the Limited Partnership Units. If other than an
individual, it has not been organized solely for


                                      -42-


<PAGE>   218
  the purpose of acquiring the Limited Partnership Units or other security
  acquired under this Agreement.

        D. Although Eden may elect to transfer the Limited Partnership Units to
  its constituent entities, and those constituent entities may, in turn, elect
  to transfer the Limited Partnership Units to their respective constituent
  entities, they are not acquiring any Limited Partnership Units with a view to
  the distribution of the Limited Partnership Units or any present intention of
  offering or selling any of the Limited Partnership Units in a transaction that
  would violate the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any
  other applicable jurisdiction.

  records maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of
  its business may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape,
  photographs, micrographics or any other information storage device, provided
  that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written
  form within a reasonable period of time. The books of the Partnership shall be
  maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in
  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or such other basis
  as the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate.

        Section 9.2    Fiscal Year

  General Partner, for such Partnership year, presented in accordance with
  generally accepted accounting principles, such statements to be audited by a
  nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the
  General Partner in its discretion (such selection may include any such
  accountants who also perform accounting or auditing work for the General
  Partner and its Affiliates).



                                      -43-
<PAGE>   219

      B. The Partnership shall mail to each Limited Partner no later than ninety

      C. All accounting and other professional fees associated with the
preparation, compilation, review, audit, and any other matters relating to the
Partnership's records, financial statements and reports, tax returns, and any
other Partnership items described in the preceding paragraphs shall be at the
expense of the Partnership, not the General Partner.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                  TAX MATTERS

         Section 10.2 Tax Elections

         Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its
sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election

Partnership Interest, the General Partner shall file an election on behalf of
the Partnership pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the
Partnership property in the case of a transfer of a Partnership Interest made in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The General Partner intends to
elect the so-called "traditional method" of making Section 704(c) allocations
pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-3 with respect to property contributed as
of the date hereof. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke
any tax election it makes (including, without limitation, the election under
Section 754 of the Code) upon the General Partner's determination, in its sole
and absolute discretion, that such revocation is in the best interest of the
Partners.

         Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner

        A. The General Partner shall be the "tax matters partner" of the
Partnership for federal income purposes. Pursuant to Section 6230(e) of the
Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of an administrative
proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall
furnish the IRS with the name, address, taxpayer identification number, and
profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and the Assignees; provided,
however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited
Partners and the Assignees.

        B. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

           (1) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any
administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items
required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such
administrative proceedings being referred to as a "tax audit" and such judicial
proceedings being referred to as "judicial review"), and in the settlement
agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall
bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any
Partner: (i) who (within the time period prescribed pursuant to the Code and
Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters
partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on
behalf of such Partner; or (ii) who is a "notice partner" (as defined in Section
6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a "notice group" (as defined in Section
6223(b)(2) of the Code);

           (2) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment
at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a
Partner for tax purposes (a "final adjustment") is mailed to the tax matters
partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing
of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the District Court of the
United States for the district in which the Partnership's principal place of
business is located;

           (3) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for
judicial review of a final adjustment;

           (4) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS
and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an
appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to
such request;

           (5) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for
assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken account
of by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

           (6) to take any other action of behalf of the Partners or the
Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to
the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

        C. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax
matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent
required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax
matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General
Partner set forth in Section 7.7 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to
the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

        D. The tax matters partner shall receive no special compensation for its
services as such. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters
partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees
and expenses) shall be borne or reimbursed by the Partnership. Nothing herein
shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm
to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder, including
an accounting firm which also renders services to the General Partner and its
Affiliates.

        Section 10.4   Organizational Expenses

        The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it
in organizing the Partnership ratably over a sixty (60) month period as provided
in Section 709 of the Code.

        Section 10.5   Withholding

        Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from,
or pay on behalf of or with respect to, such Limited Partner any amount of
federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that
the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount
distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the
Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code and
similar state and local income tax laws, if any. Any amount paid on behalf of or
with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to
such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within
fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must
be made, unless: (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution
which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner; or (ii) the General
Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may
be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for
such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld
pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been
distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a



                                      -46-
<PAGE>   222

security interest in such Limited Partner's Partnership Interest to secure such
Limited Partner's obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to
be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. In the event that a Limited Partner fails
to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5 when
due, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make
the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and
shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such
defaulting Limited Partner. Without limitation, in such event the General
Partner shall have the right to receive distributions that would otherwise be
distributable to such defaulting Limited Partner until such time as such loan,
together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and any such
distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been
distributed to the defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid by the
defaulting Limited Partner to the General Partner in repayment of such loan. Any
amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the lesser
of (A) the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center
commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal,
plus four (4) percentage points, or (B) the maximum lawful rate of interest on
such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e.,
fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Limited
Partner shall at its own expense take such actions as the Partnership or the
General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security
interest created hereunder.

                            TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

        Section 11.1     Transfer 

        A. The term "transfer" when used in this Article 11 with respect to a
Limited Partnership Unit shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the
General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General Partner
Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign all
or any part of its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a
sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange
or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term "transfer" when used in
this Article 11 does not include any acquisition of Partnership Interests or
Limited Partnership Units by the General Partner from any Limited Partner, nor
does it include any grant of a security interest or any related action involving
levy, execution, or the like contemplated under Section 10.5 of this Agreement.

        B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part
(including any interest therein), except in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any


                                      -47-


<PAGE>   223

transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance
with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio, and the Partnership shall
have no duty or obligation to recognize the transferee as a partner or holder of
any interest whatsoever in the Partnership, and the transferee shall have no
rights, interests or claims in or against the Partnership or any Partner.

        Section 11.2     Transfer of the General Partner's Partner 
                         Interest and Limited Partner Interest

      The General Partner may transfer any of its General Partner Interest or
withdraw as General Partner, or transfer any of its Limited Partner Interest,
without consent or approval from any Limited Partners. Such transfer includes
transfer to an entity which is wholly-owned by the General Partner and is a
Qualified REIT Subsidiary under Section 856(d) of the Code.

        Section 11.3   Limited Partners' Rights to Transfer

        A. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3C, 11.3D, 11.3E, 11.3F and
11.4, a Limited Partner (other than the General Partner) may transfer, with or
without the consent of the General Partner, all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner's economic rights as a
Limited Partner. In addition, those Original Limited Partners which are
themselves partnerships or limited liability companies shall have the right to
transfer, assign, and convey their Limited Partnership Units to their
constituent partners, provided that such constituent partners or members shall
first have executed and delivered the Subscription Documents and a written
agreement to be bound by the terms, provisions, and conditions of this
Agreement, the Exchange Rights Agreement, and the Master Contribution Agreement,
and that at the time of such transfer, assignment, and conveyance to such
constituent partners, the representations and warranties made by such
constituent partners or members in the aforementioned Subscription Documents and
the related agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

        B. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the partners,
executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver
of such Limited Partner's estate shall have all of the rights of a Limited
Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for
the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the
Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of his or
its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of
itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

        C. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer by a Limited Partner
if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership or the General Partner,
such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the
Securities Act of

                                      -48-
<PAGE>   224


1933 or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or
regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Limited Partnership Units.

        D. No transfer by a Limited Partner of its Limited Partnership Units may
be made to any Person if: (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the
Partnership or the General Partner, it would result in the Partnership being
treated as an association taxable as a corporation; (ii) such transfer is
effectuated through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market
(or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the meaning of Section 7704 of
the Code; (iii) such transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with
respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a
"party-in-interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified
person" (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (iv) such transfer would,
in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership or the General Partner,
cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any
employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section
2510.2-101; (v) such transfer would subject the Partnership to be regulated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; or (vi) in
the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership or the General Partner, it
would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify
as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section
857 or Section 4981 of the Code.

        E. No transfer of any Limited Partnership Unit may be made to a lender
to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section
1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan
constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limiting the restriction of the
foregoing sentence, if any such consent is given, a condition to such consent
shall be that the lender enter into an arrangement with the Partnership or the
General Partner to exchange or redeem at a price agreeable to the lender, the
General Partner, and the transferring Partner (each in their respective
discretion) all Limited Partnership Units in which a security interest is held
immediately prior to the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a
partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender
under Section 752 of the Code.

        F. The Limited Partners acknowledge that each certificate or instrument
representing Limited Partnership Units shall bear the following legend and any
other legend required under any applicable state securities law:

         "NEITHER THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS IN THE PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTED
         BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR


                                      -49-


<PAGE>   225

        INSTRUMENT NOR ANY PART THEREOF OR INTEREST THEREIN HAS BEEN REGISTERED
        UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE 'ACT') AND NEITHER MAY
        BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
        DISPOSED OF, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER, SALE,
        ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION COMPLIES WITH THE
        PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF PGP NORTHERN
        INDUSTRIAL, L.P., AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON
        FILE WITH THE PARTNERSHIP); AND, IN ALL EVENTS, NO TRANSFER, SALE,
        ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE LIMITED
        PARTNERSHIP UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (OR ANY SECURITY
        ISSUED ON ACCOUNT HEREOF OR WITH RESPECT HERETO) MAY BE MADE UNLESS THE
        PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL
        AND OPINION BOTH MUST BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE PARTNERSHIP IN ITS SOLE
        DISCRETION) FOR THE HOLDER THAT, BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABILITY OF AN
        EXEMPTION, NO SUCH REGISTRATION, QUALIFICATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE IS
        REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT, APPLICABLE BLUE SKY OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR
        OTHERWISE."

        Section 11.4  Substituted Limited Partners

         A. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee
as a Limited Partner in his place. The General Partner shall, however, have the
right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited
Partner pursuant to this, Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which
Consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion. The General Partner's failure or refusal to permit a transferee of
any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise
to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. Notwithstanding
the foregoing in the event of transfers of Limited Partnership Units by Original
Limited Partners in accordance with the second sentence of Section 11.3A, the
transferees shall be admitted as Substituted Limited Partners, and the General
Partner hereby consents to such.

         B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner
in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be
subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this
Agreement.

         C. Upon admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner
shall amend Exhibit "A" to reflect the name, address, number of Limited
Partnership Units, and Limited Partner Percentage Interest of such Substituted
Limited Partner.

<PAGE>   226
        Section 11.5   Assignees

        If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not
consent to the admission of any permitted transferee as a Substituted Limited
Partner, as described in Section 11.4, such transferee shall be considered an
Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be deemed to have had
assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive distributions from the
Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, Recapture Income, and any
other items, gain, loss deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to
the Limited Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall not be
deemed to be a holder of Limited Partnership Units for any other purpose under
this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Limited Partnership Units
for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote
such Limited Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners
for a vote (such Limited Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on
such matters in the same proportion as all other Limited Partnership Units held
by Limited Partners are voted). In the event any such transferee desires to make
a further assignment of any such Limited Partnership Units, such transferee
shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent
and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of
Limited Partnership Units.

        Section 11.6   General Provisions

         A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a
result of a permitted transfer of all such Limited Partner's Limited Partnership
Units in accordance with this Article 11 or pursuant to any agreement consented
to by the Partnership pursuant to which the Limited Partner's interests in the
Partnership are conveyed and the Limited Partner's withdrawal is provided for.

         B. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its Limited
Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 shall
cease to be a Limited Partner upon the admission of all Assignees of such
Limited Partnership Units as Substitute Limited Partners. Similarly, any Limited
Partner who shall transfer all of its Limited Partnership Units pursuant to any
agreement of the type referred to in the preceding paragraph shall cease to be a
Limited Partner.

         C. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first
day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise
agrees.

         D. Without limiting the restriction of Section 11.6C, if any
Partnership Interest is transferred or assigned during any quarterly segment of
the Partnership's fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article
11 on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income,
Net Losses,


                                      -51-


<PAGE>   227

each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such
Partnership Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner
and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during
the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the
interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of making such
allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the transfer or
assignment occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Partner, and none of such
items for the calendar month in which a redemption occurs shall be allocated to
a redeeming Partner. All distributions of Available Cash attributable to such
Limited Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is
before the date of such transfer, assignment, or redemption shall be made to the
transferor Partner, all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable
to such Limited Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner.

        Section 11.7   No Exchange

        Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11 to the contrary, each of the
Limited Partners hereby agrees that, during the No Exchange Period, it shall be
prohibited from tendering its Limited Partnership Units for exchange or
redemption under the Exchange Rights Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                              ADMISSION OF PARTNERS


         Section 12.1 Admission of Successor General Partner

         A Successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section
11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as successor General Partner shall be
admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon such
transfer. The admission of any such transferee shall not cause a dissolution of
the Partnership and such transferee shall carry on the business of the
Partnership in accordance with the forms and provisions of this Agreement. In
each case, the admission shall be subject to the Successor General Partner
executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may
be required to effect the admission. In the case of such admission on any day
other than the first day of a Partnership Year, all items attributable to the
General Partner Interest for such Partnership Year shall be allocated between
the transferring General Partner and such successor as provided in Section
11.6-D hereof.

         Section 12.2 Admission of Additional Limited Partners

         A. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Agreement, after the
admission of Eden to the Partnership as the initial original Limited Partner on
the date hereof, a Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in
accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an
Additional Limited Partner only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i)
evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power
of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, and (ii) such other documents or
instruments as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order
to effect such Person's admission as an Additional Limited Partner.

         B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no
Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of
the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the General
Partner's sole and absolute discretion. The admission of any Person as an
Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the
name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership,
following the consent of the General Partner to such admission.

         C. If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on
any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net
Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and
Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Additional
Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account
their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section
706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for
purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month
in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be
allocated among all of the Partners and Assignees, including such Additional
Limited Partner. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the
Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made
solely to Partners and assignees, other than the Additional Limited Partner, and
all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all of the
Partners and Assignees, including such Additional Limited Partner.

         Section 12.3   Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited
                        Partnership

         For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General
Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend
the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as
practical an amendment to this Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit
"A") and, if


                                      -53-


<PAGE>   229

required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may
for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4
hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                    DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

         Section 13.1 Dissolution

         The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of substituted
Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a
successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon
the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner shall
continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and
its affairs be wound up, only upon the first to occur of any of the following
("Liquidating Events"):

         A.    the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5 hereof;

         B.    an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the
Act (other than an event of bankruptcy), unless within ninety (90) days after
such event of withdrawal a majority in interest in capital and profits of the
remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership
and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal of a successor
General Partner;

         C.    an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General 
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion;

         D.    entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership
pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

         E.    the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties
of the Partnership; provided, however, that the sale of one or more, but less
than all, of the Original Properties shall not be a Liquidating Event so long
as the Partnership retains at least one of the Original Properties; or

         F.    a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent,
or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with
appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any
federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect,
unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment all of the remaining
Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment,
of a substitute General Partner.

<PAGE>   230

        Section 13.2  Winding Up

         A.    Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall
continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner,
liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners.
No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to
or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership's business and affairs.
The General Partner, or in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any
Person elected by a majority in interest Of the Limited Partners (the General
Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the "Liquidator"),
shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the
Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership's liabilities and
property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is
consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom
(which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of
common stock in the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the
following order:

               (1) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership's debts
and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners (whether by payment or the
reasonable provision for payment thereof);

               (2) Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership's debts
and liabilities to the General Partner and its Affiliates (whether by payment or
the reasonable provision for payment thereof);

               (3) Third, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership's debts
and liabilities to the other Partners (whether by payment or the reasonable
provision for payment thereof); and

               (4) The balance, if any, to the General Partner and Limited
Partners in accordance with their Capital Accounts, after giving effect to all
contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods.

             The General Partner shall not receive any special compensation for
any services performed pursuant to this Article 13.

         B.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and after the Partnership 
acquires Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets, or becomes obligated,
indebted or liable for or on account of Non-original Limited Partner Related
Assets or the ownership or operation thereof, and so long as the General Partner
has not consummated the transactions and made the election described in Sections
4.3B and 5.2, respectively, of this Agreement, then distributions under the
terms of Section 13.2A shall be calculated and made only with respect to
Original Limited Partner


                                      -55-


<PAGE>   231

Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof, together with the
operation and existence of the Partnership insofar as such concerns the original
Limited Partner Related Assets. Distributions under the terms of Section 13.2A
shall not include any revenues, expenses, assets, or liabilities of the
Partnership relating to the Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets, the
ownership or operation thereof, or the operation or existence of the Partnership
with respect thereto, all of which shall be as separately determined by the
General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

         C.    Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, 
pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement all Limited Partnership Units then
held by any Limited Partner (other than Limited Partnership Units held by the
General Partner) will be mandatorily exchanged or redeemed prior to any
distribution, or the determination of any entitlement to any distribution,
pursuant to Section 13.2A. As a result of such mandatory exchange or redemption
of Limited Partnership Units, no Limited Partner (other than the General Partner
in its capacity as a Limited Partner) will receive, nor shall he, she or it be
entitled to receive, any distribution upon a Liquidating Event.

         D.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2A hereof which 
require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order
of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the
Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of
the Partnership's assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the
Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a
reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy
liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners and their Affiliates
as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in
common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2A hereof, undivided
interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for
liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good
faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best
interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to
the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems
reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such
properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of

<PAGE>   234

adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if it is approved by the General
Partner and it receives the Consent of Partners holding a majority of the

in the priorities or at the times described in this Agreement shall require the
consent of such Limited Partner in order to become effective.

the power, without the consent or approval of the Limited Partners, to amend
this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the

pursuant to Section 4.3, or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

                (4) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and
does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to
cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not
inconsistent with law or with other provisions of this Agreement, or make any
other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not
be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;

                (5) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines,
contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or
state agency or contained in federal or state law; and

amount, priority, or timing of distributions to any of the Original Limited
Partners or their heirs, successors and assigns under this Agreement, the
General Partner shall not amend Sections 7.4, 7.5, 14.1A, 14.1C, or 14.2

Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the
action so taken is signed by Limited Partners holding a majority of the Limited
Partner Percentage Interests (or such other percentage as is expressly required
by this Agreement). Such consent may be in one instrument or in several
instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of Limited

Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such
rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person
deems appropriate. Without limitation, meetings of Partners may be conducted in

meetings of the Partners shall be held within the State of California at such
location as may be designated by the General Partner.

loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1)
of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following
adjustments:

               (1) Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and
deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the
Code which may be made by the Partnership, provided that the amounts of any
adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant
to Section 734 of the Code as a result of the distribution of property by the
Partnership to a Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not
previously been reflected in the Partners' Capital Accounts) shall be reflected
in the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner and subject to the
limitations prescribed in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4).

               (2) The computation of all items of income, gain, and deduction
shall be made without regard to the fact that items described in Sections

are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax
purposes.

             (3) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable
disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted
basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to
the Partnership's Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

             (4) In lieu of depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery
deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there
shall be taken into account Depreciation for such fiscal year.

             (5) In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership Asset is
adjusted pursuant to Section 1.D hereof, the amount of any such adjustment
shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset.

             (6) Any items specifically allocated under Section 1 of Exhibit
"C" hereof shall not be taken into account.

      C. Generally, a transferee (including an Assignee) of a Limited
Partnership Unit shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of
the transferor; provided, however, that if the transfer causes a termination of
the Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, the Partnership's
properties shall be deemed solely for federal income tax purposes, to have been
contributed to the successor Partnership. The Capital Accounts of such successor
Partnership shall be maintained in accordance with the principles of this
Exhibit "B".

      D.   (1) Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 1.D.(2), the Carrying Value of
all Partnership assets shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any
Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as
of the times of the adjustments provided in Section 1.D.(2) hereof, as if such
Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each
such property and allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement.

           (2) Such adjustments shall be made as of the following times: (a)
immediately prior to the acquisition of an additional interest in the
Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de
minimis Capital Contribution; (b) immediately prior to the distribution by the
Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as
consideration for an interest in the Partnership; and (c) immediately prior to
the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b) above shall be made only if the General Partner determines that such
adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect economic interests of the
Partners in the Partnership.

           (3) In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e), the
Carrying Value of Partnership assets distributed in kind shall be adjusted
upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss
attributable to such Partnership property, as of the time any such asset is
distributed.

           (4) In determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss for purposes of
this Exhibit "B", the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all
Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) shall be determined by
the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt,
or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article 13 of the
Agreement, shall be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such
reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt. The General Partner, or the
Liquidator, as the case may be, shall allocate such aggregate value among the
assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines in its sole and
absolute discretion to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties).

      E. The provisions of this Agreement (including this Exhibit "B" and other
Exhibits to this Agreement) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are
intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the
General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify (i) the manner in
which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without
limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by
contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the
General Partner, or the Limited Partners) are computed; or (ii) the manner in
which items are allocated among the Partners for federal income tax purposes in
order to comply with such Regulations or to comply with Section 704(c) of the
Code, the General Partner may make such modification without regard to Article
14 of the Agreement, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on
the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article 13 of the Agreement
upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i)
where appropriate, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q),
make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality
between Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital
reflected on the Partnership's balance sheet, as computed for book purposes; and
(ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might
otherwise cause this Agreement not to Comply With Regulations Section
1.704-1(b). In addition, the General Partner may adopt and employ such methods
and procedures for (i) the maintenance of book and tax capital accounts; (ii)
the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), '734 and
743 of the Code; (iii) the determination of Net Income, Net Loss, taxable loss
and items thereof under this Agreement: and pursuant to the Code; (iv)
conventions for the


                                       -3-

determination of cost recovery, depreciation and amortization deductions, as it
determines in its sole discretion are necessary or appropriate to execute the
provisions of this Agreement, to comply with federal and state tax laws, and are
in the best interest of the Partners.

2.   No Interest

     No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital .Contributions or
on balances in Partners' Capital Accounts.

3.   No Withdrawal

     No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of his Capital
Contribution or his Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the
Partnership, except as provided in Articles 4, 5, 7 and 13 of the Agreement.

4.   Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and after the Partnership acquires
Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets, or becomes obligated, indebted or
liable for or on account of Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets or the
ownership or operation thereof, and so long as the General Partner has not
consummated the transactions and made the election described in Sections 4.3B
and 5.2, respectively, of this Agreement, then allocations provided for in this
Exhibit "B" shall be calculated separately with respect to Original Limited
Partner Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof, together with
the operation and existence of the Partnership insofar as such concerns the
Original Limited Partner Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof.
Such allocations and calculations shall not include any revenues, expenses,
assets, or liabilities of the Partnership relating to the Non-Original Limited
Partner Related Assets, the ownership or operation thereof, or the operation or
existence Of the Partnership with respect thereto, all of which shall be
separately determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion.

                            Special Allocation Rules

1.    Special Allocation Rules

      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Exhibit "C",
the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

      A. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1
of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit "C", if there is a net
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable year, each
Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for
such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such
Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined
under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous
sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be
allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall
be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.7042(f)(6). This Section
1.A is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
Solely for purposes of this Section 1.A, each Partner's Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section
6.1 of Partner Minimum Gain during such Partnership taxable year.

       B. Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision
of Section 6.1 of this Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit "C"
(except Section 1.A hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain
attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership taxable year,
each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.702-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain
for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such
Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(5). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in
proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner
pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 1.B is intended to comply
with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this
Section 1.B, each Partner's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined
prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement or this
Exhibit with respect to such


                                       -1-

<PAGE>   247

Partnership taxable year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 1.A hereof.

       C. Qualified Income offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2) (ii) (d)(5), or 1.704-1
(b) (2) (ii) (d) (6) , and after giving effect to the allocations required under
Sections 1.A and 1.B hereof such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion
of each item of Partnership income, including gross income and gain for the
Partnership taxable year) shall be specifically allocated to such Partner in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments,
allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.

       D. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership
taxable year shall be allocated to the General Partner. If the General Partner
determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership's Nonrecourse
Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor
requirements of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code,
the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the Limited Partners, to
revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio for such
Partnership taxable year which satisfy such requirements.

       E. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for
any Partnership taxable year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who
bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to
which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

       F. Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the
adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b)
of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m),
to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such
adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially
allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their
Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the
Regulations.

       G. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 1.A through
1.F of this Exhibit "C" (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply
with certain requirements of the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code.
The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the
Partners intend to divide Partnership distributions. Accord-

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   248

ingly, the General Partner is hereby authorized to divide other allocations of
income, gain, deduction and loss among the Partners so as to prevent the
Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which Partnership
distributions will be divided among the Partners. In general, the Partners
anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other items of
income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that the net amount of
the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each person is zero.
However, the General .Partner will have discretion to accomplish this result in
any reasonable manner; Provided, however, that no allocation pursuant to this
Section 1.G shall cause the Partnership to fail to comply with the requirements
of Regulations Sections 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(d),-2(e)or-2(i)

       2. Allocations for Tax Purposes

       A. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, for federal income tax
purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among
the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" income, gain,
loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and
Section 1 of this Exhibit "C".

       B. In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a
Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, and
deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners
as follows:

           (1) (a)  In the case of a Contributed Property, such items
                    attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners,
                    consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code
                    and the Regulations thereunder, to take into account the
                    variation between the 704(c) Value of such property and its
                    adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and

               (b)  any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a
                    Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners
                    in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" gain or
                    loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement
                    and Section 1 of this Exhibit "C".

           (2) (a)  In the, case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall

                    (1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner
                    consistent with the principals of Section 704(c) of the Code
                    and the Regulations thereunder to take into account the
                    Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attribut-



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   249
 
                    able to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant
                    to Exhibit "B"; and

                    (2) second, in the event such property was originally a
                    Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a
                    manner consistent with Section 2.B(1) of this Exhibit "C";
                    and

               (b)  any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to
                    an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners
                    in the same manner its correlative item of "book" gain or
                    loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement
                    and Section 1 of this Exhibit "C".

           (3)      all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be
                    allocated among the Partners in the same manner as their
                    correlative item of "book" gain or loss is allocated
                    pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of
                    this Exhibit "C".

        C. To the extent that the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to
Section 704(c) of the Code permit the Partnership to utilize alternative methods
to eliminate the disparities between the Carrying Value of property and its
adjusted basis, the General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method
to be used by the Partnership and such election shall be binding on all
Partners.

3.    No Withdrawal

      No Partner shall be entitled to withdrawal any part of his Capital
Contribution or his Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the
Partnership, except as provided in Articles 4, 5, 8 and 13 of the Agreement.

4.    Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and after the Partnership acquires
Non-original Limited Partner Related Assets, or becomes obligated, indebted or
liable for or on account of Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets or the
ownership or operation thereof, and so long as the General Partner has not
consummated the transactions and made the election described in Sections 4.3B
and 5.2, respectively, of this Agreement, then allocations provided for in this
Exhibit "C" shall be calculated separately with respect to Original Limited
Partner Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof, together with
the operation and existence of the Partnership insofar as such concerns the
Original Limited Partner Related Assets and the ownership and operation thereof.
Such allocations and calculations shall not



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   250

include any revenues, expenses, assets, or liabilities of the Partnership
relating to the Non-Original Limited Partner Related Assets, the ownership or
operation thereof, or the operation or existence of the Partnership with respect
thereto, all of which shall be separately determined by the General Partner in
its sole and absolute discretion.

OF ANY CONDITION OR ANY OTHER REASON EXCEPT A DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
SOLELY ON THE PART OF BUYER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL IMMEDIATELY BE RETURNED TO BUYER.

<PAGE>   6
   
                    (vii)     any other instruments, records or correspondence
                              specifically called for hereunder to be delivered

                (b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price by
federal wire transfer to Escrow Holder. The Deposit shall be credited against
the Purchase Price. Seller may use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to
clear the title of any or all encumbrances or interests, provided that all
instruments necessary for this purpose are recorded or registered simultaneously
with the Deed, except that where an institutional lender has provided a payoff
letter the actual reconveyance of the lender's deed of trust may be recorded
when received provided that the Seller has provide such bond, indemnity or other
arrangements as shall be necessary to cause the Title Company to insure title to
the Property as vested in Buyer without any exception for such matters. Except
for real estate taxes not yet due or payable, Seller shall cause all mortgages,
deeds of trust and other monetary encumbrances, including without limitation all
mechanics' liens, to be released and reconveyed from the Property on or prior to
the Closing and shall cause the Title Company to insure title to the Property as
vested in Buyer without any exception for such matters.

                5. Adjustments.

                (a) The following are to be apportioned as of the Closing Date,
with Buyer receiving credit for or being charged with the entire day of the
Closing, as follows:

                    (i) Rent. Collected rent under the Leases shall be
apportioned as of the Closing Date. With respect to any rent which is
uncollected as of the Closing Date, after Closing Buyer shall pay to Seller any
rent actually collected which is applicable to the period preceding the Closing
Date, provided, however, that all rent collected by Buyer shall be applied first
to all unpaid rent accruing after the Closing Date, and then to unpaid rent
accruing prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any
steps to recover any rent arrearages. Seller shall be permitted to pursue
collection of any rent arrearages applicable to the period prior to the Closing,
provided that Buyer shall not incur any, and Seller shall indemnify Buyer
against all cost, expense or liability in connection therewith, and provided
further that Seller shall not commence any legal or equitable proceedings in the
nature of an unlawful detainer, eviction or other proceeding which seek to
terminate any tenant's right of possession of its leased premises or result in a
lien or encumbrance on such leased premises. If any tenants are required to pay
percentage rent, escalation charges for real estate taxes, operating expenses,
CPI adjustments or other charges of a similar nature ("Additional Rent") and any
Additional Rent is collected by Buyer or Seller which is attributable in whole
or in part to any period during which the respective party did not own the
Property, such party shall promptly pay to the other party the other party's
proportionate share thereof, less a proportionate share of any reasonable
attorney's fees, costs and expenses of collection thereof. All Additional Rent
collected by Buyer shall be applied first to unpaid Additional Rent accruing
after the Closing Date, and then to unpaid Additional Rent accruing prior to the
Closing Date. If tenants pay Additional Rent on an estimated basis, then
promptly following the end of the underlying fiscal period Buyer shall reconcile
actual expenses


                                      -5 -


<PAGE>   7
with tenants' estimated payments of Additional Rent and any net debit or credit
to the landlord resulting from such reconciliation shall be apportioned between
Buyer and Seller. Any sums received from the tenant on account of the
termination of the United States Postal Service lease shall be paid to Seller.

                    (ii) Leasing Costs. Seller is responsible for leasing
commissions, tenant improvement costs, tenant inducements or other leasing costs
(collectively, "Leasing Costs") payable with respect to the current term of the
presently existing leases (the "Present Leases") listed in Exhibit J attached
hereto (the "Lease Schedule"). To the extent any Leasing Costs of Present Leases
are due and payable at or before Closing they shall be paid from Seller's
proceeds. Seller and Buyer shall pay their respective shares of all Leasing
Costs with respect to any renewal, extension or expansion rights under any
Present Leases which are exercised on or after the date hereof and for any such
Leasing Costs relative to Leases amended or executed (with the approval of Buyer
as set out in Section 18 hereof) on or after the date hereof, with such shares
being based on the proportion of rent paid or payable prior to and following the
Closing Date with respect to such renewal, extension, expansion, amended Lease
or new Lease. To the extent any such Leasing Costs are due and payable as of or
after the Closing Date, but are not paid by the responsible party, then such
responsible party shall protect and indemnify the nonresponsible party from and
against any such Leasing Costs. In the event Buyer leases the Vacant Space (as
defined in Section 8) within 365 days following the Closing Date, then Buyer
shall pay to Seller any excess of $300,000 over the Leasing Costs incurred by
Buyer in leasing the Vacant Space.

                    (iii) Security Deposits. Buyer shall be entitled to a credit
against the Purchase Price for the total sum of all security and other deposits
provided for in the Leases which are retained by Seller and not delivered in
kind to Buyer at Closing, and any interest earned thereon which by law or the
terms of the Leases is required to be refunded to tenants.

                    (iv) Utility Charges. Seller shall cause all the utility
meters to be read on the Closing Date, and will be responsible for the cost of
all utilities used prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such utility
charges are billed to and paid by tenants directly. Buyer shall be responsible
for all post-Closing utility charges.

                    (v) Real Estate Taxes and Special Assessments. Seller shall
pay prior to Closing any and all delinquent real estate taxes and assessments
with respect to the Property. General real estate taxes and assessments payable
for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date.

                    (vi) Other Apportionments. Amounts payable under the
Assigned Contracts, annual or periodic permit and/or inspection fees (calculated
on the basis of the period covered), and liability for other Property operation
and maintenance expenses and other recurring costs shall be apportioned as of
the Closing Date.

<PAGE>   8
                    (vii) Deferred Maintenance Credit. Seller shall receive a
credit at Closing in the amount of Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars
($360,000) on account of any and all deferred maintenance and/or physical
defects or deficiencies in the Property, including those identified on Exhibit
K.

                (b) Preliminary Closing Statement. Seller and Buyer shall
jointly prepare and approve a preliminary Closing Statement on the basis of the
Leases and other sources of income and expenses, and shall deliver such
computation to Escrow Holder prior to Closing.

                (c) Post-Closing Reconciliation. If any of the aforesaid
prorations cannot be definitely calculated on the Closing Date, then they shall
be estimated at the Closing and definitely calculated as soon after the Closing
Date as feasible. As soon as the necessary information is available, Buyer shall
conduct a post-Closing audit to determine the accuracy of all prorations made to
the Purchase Price (the "Post-Closing Audit"). Either party owing the other
party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or the Post-Closing
Audit shall promptly pay said sum to the other party.

                6. Closing Costs. Seller shall pay for the Preliminary Report,
the premium for the CLTA portion of the Title Policy, the chain of title search,
any sales taxes, any transfer taxes applicable to the sale and recording fees
for recording of the Deed. In addition, Seller shall be liable for any
prepayment fee or other charge payable in connection with any payoff of monetary
encumbrances. Buyer shall pay for the ALTA portion of the Title Policy, the cost
of any endorsements to the Title Policy, the cost of any survey or surveyor's
certificate, the cost of its due diligence examination of the Real Property, and
the cost of its counsel and other professional advisors. Any escrow fees shall
be paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. All
other costs and charges of the Escrow not otherwise provided for in this
Agreement shall be allocated in accordance with the closing customs for the
County where the Property is located. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible
for their respective legal fees to negotiate and execute this Agreement. The
provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing.

                7. Reporting Requirements. The Escrow Holder shall comply with
all applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements
relating to the close of the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement involve a real estate transaction within the purview of Section
6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue
Code"), Escrow Holder shall have sole responsibility to comply with the
requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code (and any similar
requirements imposed by state or local law). For purposes hereof, Seller's tax
identification number is 04-3358056. Escrow Holder shall hold Buyer, Seller and
their counsel free and harmless from and against any and all liability, claims,
demands, damages and costs, including reasonable attorney's fees and other
litigation expenses, arising or resulting from the failure or refusal of Escrow
Holder to comply with such reporting requirements. The provisions of this
Section 7 shall survive the Closing.

                8. Master Lease. If, at Closing, the presently vacant
approximately 107,223 square feet of space in the Tower Park property located at
353 and 373 North Euclid Way, Anaheim, California (the "Vacant Space") has not
been leased pursuant to one or more leases approved by Buyer pursuant to Section
18 hereof, then as a condition precedent to the Buyer's obligation to close as
provided in this Agreement, Brian Malliet, or a nominee thereof reasonably
acceptable to Buyer, as tenant, for the benefit of Buyer, will execute and
deliver to Buyer at Closing (i) a lease in the form of Exhibit L for the Vacant
Space, and (ii) an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") in the form of
Exhibit M pursuant to which the "Escrowed Funds" (defined below) are to be
released by the Escrow Holder to pay rent under the lease. Provided that such
conditions are satisfied, on the Closing Date, Seller shall instruct the Escrow
Holder to retain an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000)
from the Purchase Price (the "Escrowed Funds"), which Escrowed Funds shall be
held in Escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

                9. Title. At the Closing, Seller shall convey to Buyer 
marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Real Property and Improvements,
by duly executed and acknowledged grant deed in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C. A condition to Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall be the
issuance by the Title Company to Buyer of an ALTA extended coverage Owner's
Policy of Title Insurance (Form B, rev. 10/17/70 with Endorsement Form 1
coverage) in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring fee simple title to the
Real Property and Improvements in Buyer, subject only to such exceptions as
Buyer shall have approved pursuant to Paragraph 16 below (the "Approved Title
Exceptions") and without boundary, encroachment or survey exceptions, except as
Buyer shall have approved pursuant to Paragraph 16 below (the "Title Policy").
The Title Policy shall provide full coverage against mechanics' and
materialmen's liens (including liens arising out of work done for tenants) and
shall contain, to the extent Buyer has obtained from the Title Company during
the Inspection Period the commitment of the Title Company to issue such
endorsements at Closing, the CLTA 100 (modified for an owner), 101.4, 103.7,
116, 116.1, 116.4, 116.7 and such other special endorsements as Buyer may
reasonably require, including, without limitation, any endorsements required as
a condition to Buyer's approval of any title exceptions pursuant to Paragraph 16
below (the "Endorsements").

                10. Possession and Condition. Full possession, subject only to
the rights of tenants under Leases and Approved Title Exceptions shall be
delivered to the Buyer at Closing, the Property to be in the same condition as
it now is, reasonable use and wear thereof excepted. The Property is to be
conveyed "as is" without any representation or warranty except as expressly set
forth herein. Buyer acknowledges that it is a sophisticated real estate
investor, advised by counsel, and that its decision to acquire the Property is
based primarily upon its own investigation of the Property, the Leases and the
market.

                  11. Seller Defaults. If Seller shall be unable to convey
title, or to deliver possession of the Property, all as herein stipulated, or if
on the Closing Date the Property does not conform with the provisions hereof,
then Seller shall use reasonable efforts to remove all


                                      -8-


<PAGE>   10
defects in title, and to deliver possession as provided herein, and to make the
Property conform to the provisions hereof, as the case may be, and the Closing
Date may be extended by mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer to a date not later
than thirty (30) days after the previously scheduled Closing Date.

                If at the expiration of the extended time Seller shall have
failed so to remove any defects in title (other than monetary liens, which are
covered in paragraph 4(b)), deliver possession, or to make the Property conform,
as the case may be, all as herein agreed, then, at Buyer's option, the Deposit
shall be forthwith refunded and all other obligations of all parties hereto
shall cease and this Agreement shall be void and without recourse to the parties
hereto; provided, however, that if Buyer is satisfied with the Property and the
purchase price, then Buyer shall have the election in its sole and absolute
discretion, at either the original or extended Closing Date, to accept such
title as the Seller can deliver to the Property in its then condition and to pay
therefor the Purchase Price without deduction, except that in the event of such
conveyance:

                (a) if the Property shall have been damaged by fire or casualty
insured against, then Seller shall, unless Seller has previously restored the
Property to its former condition, pay over or assign to Buyer, at the Closing
Date, all amounts recovered or recoverable on account of such insurance, less
any amounts reasonably expended by Seller for partial restoration, up to an
amount equal to the Purchase Price; and

                (b) if any portion of the Property shall have been taken by
exercise of the power of eminent domain (exclusive of the CalTrans Taking),
Seller shall pay over or assign to Buyer at the Closing Date, all awards
recovered or recoverable on account of such taking, less any amounts reasonably
expended by Seller for partial restoration.

                12. Insurance. Until the Closing, Seller shall retain the risk
of loss and shall maintain insurance on the Property against fire and hazards
covered by "All-Risk" insurance coverage in an amount at least equal to the
Purchase Price.

                13. Broker. Seller and Buyer mutually represent that Voit
Commercial Brokerage (the "Broker") is the only broker with whom they have dealt
in connection with this Agreement. The commission of the Broker shall be paid by
Seller pursuant to a separate agreement. Seller and Buyer each agree to
indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any liability, loss,
cost, damage, or expense, including court costs and attorneys' fees, resulting
from a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in this Paragraph.
The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Closing or termination of
this Agreement.

                Buyer acknowledges that Broker is acting as Seller's agent and
that Broker makes no, and Seller has not authorized Broker to make any,
representations or warranties of any kind regarding the condition, permitted
use, or value of the Property.

                (g) To Seller's knowledge, there exists no defaults or events
which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a
default by Seller or any of the tenants under any of the Leases. To Seller's
knowledge, there exists no defaults or events which, with the giving of notice
or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by Seller or any of the
other parties to the Service Contracts under the Service Contracts.

                Seller will indemnify, defend with counsel of Buyer's choice,
and hold Buyer its successors and assigns and their respective agents,
employees, officers, directors and partners, and the Real Property harmless from
all expense, loss, damage and claims, including Buyer's attorney's fees, if
necessary, arising out of the breach of any of the Seller's warranties,
covenants and representations, related to the Real Property and arising or
occurring prior to the Closing, or related to or arising from any act, conduct,
omission, contract or commitment of Seller arising or occurring prior to the
Closing, in each case notice of which is delivered to Seller not later than
twelve (12) months following the Time of Closing, provided, however, that in no
event shall Seller's liability hereunder exceed the sum of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000).

                As used herein the term "Seller's knowledge" or any similar
phrase shall mean the actual, not constructive or implied, knowledge of John H.
Baxter or Mark E. Bratt after having made reasonable inquiry of current
employee(s) of AMRESCO Advisors, Inc., but without any further obligation on his
part to make any independent investigation of the matters being represented and
warranted, or to make any further inquiry of any other persons, or to search or
examine any files, records, books or correspondence. To the extent any
representation or warranty which is made to "Seller's knowledge" is contravened
by any information contained in the due diligence materials delivered to Buyer
by Seller and Seller's agents during the Inspection Period, then any such
representation or warranty shall be deemed modified by any such information.

                15. No Financing Contingency. Buyer's obligations hereunder are
not conditioned upon Buyer's receipt of financing.

                16. Due Diligence.

                (a) From the Effective Date until the date thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date, but not later than the Closing Date (the "Inspection
Period"), Seller shall allow Buyer, its agents and consultants access to the
Real Property upon not more than 24 hours' advance telephonic notice for the
purposes of conducting surveys, tests, and inspections, provided that they shall
be conducted in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with normal
business operations on the Real Property. Such inspections may include, without
implied limitation, inspections and investigations relating to the general
building, the sewage disposal system, the water and water distribution systems,
the heating and air conditioning systems, power distribution, roof, foundation,
soils and the presence of radon, asbestos, hydrocarbons or other


                                      -11-

contaminants. All inspections and investigations shall be conducted at Buyer's
cost. All inspections and investigations shall be conducted by qualified
professionals in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Unless Buyer
acquires the Real Property, Buyer shall promptly restore the Real Property to
its prior condition. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all
liability, loss, cost, damage or expense arising from the conduct of any such
survey, test, or inspection by Buyer or Buyer's agents or contractors. Buyer (i)
shall permit a representative of Seller to accompany Buyer on any interviews
with tenants or governmental agencies; (ii) shall not permit any inspections,
investigations or other due diligence activities to result in any liens,
judgments or other encumbrances being filed against the Real Property and shall,
at its sole cost and expense, promptly discharge of record any such liens or
encumbrances that are so filed or recorded; (iii) shall not permit any borings,
drillings or samplings to be done without the prior written consent of Seller;
(iv) shall maintain, with insurance companies satisfactory to Seller, a policy
of comprehensive general public liability insurance, with a broad form
contractual liability endorsement covering Buyer's indemnification obligations
hereunder, and with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage
including owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of $1,000,000
per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella
liability policy for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of
$5,000,000, insuring Seller and its affiliates as additional insureds
(certificates of which shall be given to Seller prior to Buyer's first entry on
the Real Property), all of which insurance shall be written on an "occurrence
form"; and (v) shall return to Seller all materials with respect to the Real
Property provided by Seller if Buyer fails to acquire the Real Property for any
reason. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

                (b) Seller has previously provided to Buyer or will, on or
before September 16, 1997, provide to Buyer complete copies of the items listed
on Exhibit N attached hereto and made a part hereof.

                (c) Buyer may obtain, at its sole cost, and review a
non-invasive Phase I environmental report prepared by a professional
environmental assessment firm reasonably acceptable to Seller.

                (d) Buyer may, at its sole and absolute discretion, terminate
its obligations under this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or
prior to the end of the Inspection Period. In that case, (i) Escrow Holder is
instructed to return the Deposit, together with any accrued interest, to Buyer
and (ii) except for obligations that survive termination pursuant to the express
terms of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights hereunder
against the other. Failure of Buyer to elect to terminate its obligation will
constitute a waiver of the condition by Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, Buyer shall have agreed to accept the Real
Property subject to all of the conditions disclosed in the items listed on
Exhibit N and to the environmental and physical condition of the Real Property;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding any such election to proceed, Seller
must comply with all of Seller's other obligations and duties under this
Agreement.

                17. Conditions Precedent to Closing. The following are
conditions precedent to Buyer's obligations under this Agreement (the "Buyer
Conditions Precedent"). The Buyer Conditions Precedent are intended solely for
the benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer in writing. In the event
any Buyer Condition Precedent is not satisfied, Buyer may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and all obligations of Buyer and
Seller hereunder (except provisions of this Agreement which recite that they
survive termination) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

                (a) Buyer's inspection, review and approval, within the
Inspection Period, of all aspects of the Real Property.

                (b) The issuance by the Title Company to Buyer of the Title
Policy subject only to the Approved Title Exceptions and including the
Endorsements.

                (c) Buyer's receipt, within the Inspection Period, of an
"as-built" ALTA/ACSM survey (the "Survey") of the Real Property, reflecting all
plottable items referred to in the Preliminary Report (defined on Exhibit N),
prepared by a surveyor or civil engineer licensed in the State of California,
complying with the requirements, and containing the certification, set forth in
Exhibit O attached hereto.

                (d) All of Seller's representations and warranties contained in
or made pursuant to this Agreement shall have been true and correct when made
and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

                (e) Seller shall have fully complied with all of Seller's duties
and obligations contained in this Agreement.

                (f) There shall not have first arisen between the end of the
Inspection Period and the Closing Date, any litigation or administrative agency
action or other pending governmental proceeding which, after Closing, would, in
Buyer's reasonable discretion, materially adversely affect the value of the Real
Property or the ability of Buyer to operate the Real Property in the manner in
which it is currently being operated, nor any pending proceedings which would
cause the redesignation or other modification of the zoning classification of,
or of any building or environmental code requirements applicable to, any of the
Real Property. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly upon Seller's having knowledge
of any litigation to which Seller is a party or of any administrative proceeding
specifically relating to the Real Property.

                (g) Seller shall have provided Buyer with an updated Lease
Schedule three (3) business days prior to Closing, which updated Lease Schedule
must not indicate any material adverse change from the Lease Schedule last
approved by Buyer. Seller shall specifically identify any changes from the most
recently approved Lease Schedule, and Buyer shall have performed a closing audit
which confirms the Lease Schedule.

<PAGE>   15
                (h) Seller shall terminate prior to the Closing, at no cost or
expense to Buyer, any and all Service Contracts or Other Documents affecting the
Real Property that are not Assigned Contracts.

                (i) In Buyer's reasonable determination there shall not have
occurred, between the end of the Inspection Period and the Closing Date, any
material adverse change in or addition to the information or items reviewed and
approved by Buyer during the Inspection Period.

                (j) Buyer's review of the Required Estoppel Certificates to
confirm that they contain the documentation and/or information reasonably
requested by Seller, that they have not been modified in any material way, and
that they do not contain any assertion of a material default by the Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Estoppel Certificates will not be considered
non-conforming if the tenant has revised or deleted Paragraph 12 of the estoppel
certificate (which relates to environmental matters) or if the tenant delivers
an estoppel certificate substantially in the form required by such tenant's
lease; provided, however, that if the tenant revises Paragraph 12 in a manner
that discloses a material breach of the Seller's legal obligations relative to
environmental matters, such revision will be subject to Buyer's review and
approval.

                (k) Buyer's receipt of the Master Lease and Escrow Agreement.

                18. Operation of Real Property. Seller shall have the right to
operate, manage, lease and maintain the Real Property utilizing the criteria
Seller used prior to execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
provided this Agreement is in full force and effect, Buyer shall have the right
to approve any new leases, lease extensions, lease modifications, sublease
agreements, assignments or contracts affecting the Real Property and Seller
shall not execute any new leases, lease extensions or lease modifications
without the prior written approval of Buyer which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Buyer does not respond within five (5) business days of Buyer's
receipt of Seller's request for approval, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved
such lease, lease extension or lease modification. Upon the expiration of the
Inspection Period, Seller shall not waive, compromise or settle any rights of
Seller under any contract or Lease, or agree to return any security deposit, or
modify, amend, or terminate any Assigned Contract, without in each case
obtaining Buyer's prior written consent thereto, which Seller agrees not to
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Seller shall terminate prior to the
Closing, at no cost or expense to Buyer, any and all Service Contracts that are
not Assigned Contracts. Between Seller's execution of this Agreement and the
Closing, Seller shall maintain the Real Property in good order, condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, shall perform all work required to be
performed by the landlord under the terms of any Lease, and shall make all
repairs, maintenance and replacements of the Improvements and any Tangible
Personal Property and otherwise operate the Real Property in substantially the
same manner as before the making of this Agreement, as if Seller were retaining
the Real Property. In the event of the Closing of the purchase of the Real
Property, Buyer shall not retain the existing employees and management agents of
Seller for the Real Property, and, accordingly, on the Closing, Seller shall (i)
cause all employment and management agreements respecting the Real Property to
be terminated, and deliver evidence of such termination to Buyer, and (ii)
remove all employees and management personnel from the Real Property.

                19. Confidentiality. Buyer shall hold in strict confidence, and
shall cause its officers, directors and other personnel, representatives and
agents to hold in strict confidence, and not to disclose to any other party
without the express written consent of Seller, any of the information respecting
the Real Property or provided to Buyer by Seller or any of its agents,
representatives or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's obligation
to keep such information confidential shall expire upon the occurrence of the
Closing, and during the escrow period Buyer may disclose such information on a
need-to-know basis to its professional advisors who are providing assistance in
connection with the acquisition of the Real Property, and to governmental bodies
in order to comply with applicable law. If Buyer acquires the Real Property from
Seller, Seller shall have the right, subsequent to the Closing, to publicize the
transaction in whatever manner it deems appropriate. The provisions of this
Paragraph 16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                20. Authority. The execution of this Agreement and the
performance of each party's obligations hereunder have been approved by any
necessary board of directors, members, general partner or other authorizing body
and is not subject to any further approval or contingency other than as set
forth herein.

such nominee agrees in writing to assume all of Buyer's obligations hereunder

terms of this Lease, however, (including but not limited to the obligations to
pay Lessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses and to carry the insurance
required by Paragraph 8) shall be in effect during such period. Any such early
possession shall not affect nor advance the Expiration Date of the Original
Term.

     3.3  Delay in Possession.  If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver
possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is
specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by the
Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor
shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of
Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not,
except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform any
other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor delivers
possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not
delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee
may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days after
the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the
parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further,
however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within
said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise
provided, and regardless of when the Original Term actually commences, if
possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease and Lessee does
not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay
Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the
date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to the period
during which the Lessee would have otherwise enjoyed under the terms hereof, but
minus any days of delay caused by the acts, changes or omissions of Lessee.

4.   Rent.

     4.1  Base Rent. Lessee shall pay Base Rent to Lessor in lawful money of
the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on which
it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent for any period during the
term hereof which is for less than one full month shall be prorated based upon
the actual number of days of the month involved. Payment of Base Rent shall be
made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or at such
other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to Lessee.

5.   SECURITY DEPOSIT.  Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon Lessee's 
execution hereof the Security Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1.7 as security for
Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. If
Lessee fails to pay Base Rent or other rent or changes due hereunder, or
otherwise Defaults under this Lease (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), Lessor may
use, apply or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment
of any amount due Lessor or to reimburse or compensate Lessor for any liability,
cost, expense, loss or damage (including attorneys' fees) which Lessor may
suffer or incur by reason thereof. If Lessor uses or accesses all or any portion
of said Security Deposit, Lessee shall within ten (10) days after written
request therefore deposit monies with Lessor sufficient to restore said Security
Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. Any time the Base Rent
increases during the term of this lease, Lessee shall, upon written request from
Lessor, deposit additional monies with Lessor as an addition to the Security
Deposit so that the total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear
the same proportion to the then current Base Rent as the initial Security
Deposit bears to the initial Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 1.5. Lessor shall
not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from
its general accounts. Lessor shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of
the term hereof and after Lessee has vacated the Premises, return to Lessee (or,
at Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest herein),
that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lessor, no part of the Security Deposit
shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for
its use, or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease.

6.   USE.

     6.1  PERMITTED USE.

          (a) Lessee shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Permitted
Use set forth in Paragraph 1.8. or any other legal use which is reasonably
comparable thereto, and for no other purpose. Lessee shall not use or permit
the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates waste or a
nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to the
Premises or neighboring premises or properties. Lessee agrees that there is no
storage or work activity or any kind allowed outside of Lessee's premises. Any
automotive work is prohibited.

          (b) Lessor hereby agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent to any written request by Lessee. Lessee's assignees or subtenants, and
by prospective assignees and subtenants of Lessee, its assignees and
subtenants, for a modification of said Permitted Use, so long as the same will
not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or in
the Building or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, does not conflict
with uses by other lessees, is not significantly more burdensome to the
Premises or the Building and the improvements thereon, and is otherwise
permissible pursuant to this Paragraph 6. If Lessor elects to withhold such
consent, Lessor shall within five (5) business days after such request give a
written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of
Lessor's reasonable objections to the change in use.

     6.2  HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

          (a) REPORTABLE USES REQUIRE CONSENT. The term "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE"
as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, chemical, material or

environment, or the Premises; (ii) regulated or monitored by any governmental
authority; or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any
governmental agency or third party under any applicable statute or common law

Paragraph 6.3). "REPORTABLE USE" shall mean (i) the installation or use of any
above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage,

in, on or about the Premises with respect to which any Applicable Laws require
that a notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Premises or
neighboring properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may, without
Lessor's prior consent, but upon notice to Lessor and in compliance with all
Applicable Requirements, use any ordinary and customary materials reasonably
required to be used by Lessee in the normal course of the Permitted Use, so long
as such use is not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or
neighboring properties to any meaningful risk of contamination or damage or
expose Lessor to any liability therefor. In addition, Lessor may (but without
any obligation to do so) condition is consent to any Reportable Use of any
Hazardous Substance by Lessee upon Lessee's giving Lessor such additional
assurances as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect
itself, the public, the Premises and the environment against damage,
contamination or injury and/or liability therefor, including but not limited to
the installation (and, at Lessor's option, removal on or before Lease expiration
or earlier termination) of reasonably necessary protective modifications to the
Premises (such as concrete encasements) and/or the deposit of an additional
Security Deposit under Paragraph 5 hereof.

          (c) INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold
Lessor, its agents, employees, lenders and ground lessor, if any, and the
Premises, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities,
judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, loss of permits and
attorneys' and consultants' fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous
Substance brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee or by anyone under
Lessee's control. Lessee's obligations under this Paragraph 6.2(c) shall
include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to
person, property or the environment created or suffered by Lessee, and the cost
of investigation (including consultants' and attorneys' fees and testing),
removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement thereof, or of any
contamination therein involved, and shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. No termination, cancellation or release agreement
entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessee from its obligations
under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, unless specifically
so agreed by Lessor in writing at the time of such agreement.

     6.3  LESSOR'S COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS. Lessor shall, at Lessor's sole
cost and expense, fully diligently and in a timely manner, comply with all
"APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS," which term is used in this Lease to mean all laws,
rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, covenants, easements and
restrictions of record, permits, the requirements of any applicable fire
insurance underwriter or rating bureau, and the recommendations of Lessor's
engineers and/or consultants, relating in any manner to the Premises (including
but not limited to matters pertaining to (i) industrial hygiene, (ii)
environmental conditions on, in, under or about the Premises, including soil
and groundwater conditions, and (iii) the use, generation, manufacture,

contractors and designated representatives, and the holders of any mortgages,

is a Common Area Operating Expense pursuant to Paragraph 4.2. Lessor shall not
be obligated to paint the exterior or interior surfaces of exterior walls nor
shall Lessor be obligated to maintain, repair or replace windows, doors or
plate glass of the Premises. Lessee expressly waives the benefit of any statute
now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Lessee the right to
make repairs at Lessor's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's
failure to keep the Building, Industrial Center or Common Areas in good order,
condition and repair.

        7.3     UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRADE FIXTURES, ALTERATIONS.

                (a) DEFINITIONS; CONSENT REQUIRED. The term "UTILITY
INSTALLATIONS" is used in this Lease to refer to all air lines, power panels,
electrical distribution, security, fire protection systems, communications
systems, lighting fixtures, heating, ventilating and air conditioning
equipment, plumbing, and fencing in, on or about the Premises. The term "TRADE
FIXTURES" shall mean Lessee's machinery and equipment which can be removed
without doing material damage to the Premises. The term "ALTERATIONS" shall
mean any modification of the improvements on the Premises which are provided by
Lessor under the terms of this Lease, other than Utility Installations or Trade
Fixtures. "LESSEE-OWNED ALTERATIONS AND/OR UTILITY INSTALLATIONS" are defined s
Alterations and/or Utility Installations made by Lessee that are not yet owned
by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a). Lessee shall not make nor cause to be
made any Alterations or Utility Installations in, on, under or about the
Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee may, however, make
non-structural Utility Installations to the interior of the Premises (excluding
the roof) without Lessor's consent but upon notice to Lessor, so long as they
are not visible from the outside of the Premises, do not involve puncturing,
relocating or removing the roof or any existing walls, or changing or
interfering with the fire sprinkler or fire detection systems and the
cumulative cost thereof during the term of this Lease as extended does not
exceed $2,500.000.

                (b) CONSENT. Any Alterations or Utility Installations that
Lessee shall desire to make and which require the consent of the Lessor shall
be presented to Lessor in written form with detailed plans. All consents given
by Lessor, whether by virtue of Paragraph 7.3(a) or by subsequent specific
consent, shall be deemed conditioned upon: (i) Lessee's acquiring all
applicable permits required by governmental authorities; (ii) the furnishing of
copies of such permits together with a copy of the plans and specifications
for the Alteration or Utility Installation to Lessor prior to commencement of
the work thereon; and (iii) the compliance by Lessee with all conditions of
said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any Alterations or Utility
Installations by Lessee during the term of this Lease shall be done in a good
and workmanlike manner, with good and sufficient materials, and be in
compliance with all Applicable Requirements. Lessee shall promptly upon
completion thereof furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications
therefor. Lessor may, (but without obligation to do so) condition its consent
to any requested Alteration or Utility Installation that costs $2,500.00 or
more upon Lessee's providing Lessor with a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Alteration or
Utility Installation.

                (c) LIEN PROTECTION. Lessee shall pay when due all claims for
labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee
at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any
mechanic's or materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on, or about the Premises, and Lessor have the
right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided
by law. If Lessee shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien,
claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense, defend and protect
itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy any
such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement
thereof against the Lessor or the Premises. If Lessor shall require, Lessee
shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal
to one and one-half times the amount of such contested lien claim or demand,
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same, as required by law for the
holding of the Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim. In
addition, Lessor may required Lessee to pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs
in participating in such action if Lessor shall decide it is to its best
interest to do so.

        7.4     OWNERSHIP, REMOVAL, SURRENDER, AND RESTORATION.

                (a) OWNERSHIP. Subject to Lessor's right to require their
removal and to cause Lessee to become the owner thereof as hereinafter provided
in this Paragraph 7.4, all Alterations and Utility Installations made to the
Premises by Lessee shall be the property of and owned by Lessee, but considered
a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time and at its option, elect in
writing to Lessee to be the owner of all or any specified part of the
Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed

with the Premises by Lessee.

                (b) REMOVAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Lessor may
require that any or all Lessee-Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be
removed by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, notwithstanding
that their installation may have been consented to by Lessor. Lessor may
require the removal at any time of all or any part of any Alterations or
Utility Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.

                (c) SURRENDER/RESTORATION. Lessee shall surrender the Premises
by the end of the last day of the Lease term or any earlier termination date,
clean and free of debris and in good operating order, condition and state of
repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Ordinary wear and tear shall not
include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good
maintenance practice or by Lessee performing all of its obligations under this
Lease. Except as otherwise agreed or specified herein, the Premises, as
surrendered, shall include the Alterations and Utility Installations. The
obligation of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage occasioned by the

connection with, the occupancy of the Premises by Lessee, the conduct of
Lessee's business, any act, omission or neglect of Lessee, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees, and out of any Default or Breach by Lessee
in the performance in a timely manner of any obligation on Lessee's part to be
performed under this Lease. The foregoing shall include, but not be limited to,
the defense or pursuit of any claim or any action or proceeding involved
therein, and whether or not (in the case of claims made against Lessor)

brought against Lessor by reason of any of the foregoing matters,  Lessee upon
notice from Lessor shall defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in
such defense. Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be so
indemnified.

     8.8   Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for
injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property
of Lessee. Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other
person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or
results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the
breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers,
wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any
other cause, whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a
part, from other sources of places, and regardless of whether the cause of such
damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible or not.
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of
any other lessee of Lessor nor from the failure by Lessor to enforce the
provisions of any other lease in the Industrial Center. Notwithstanding
Lessor's negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no
circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of
income or profit therefrom.

9.   Damage or Destruction.

     9.1   Definitions

           (a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations,
the repair cost of which damage or destruction is less than fifty percent (50%)
of the then Replacement Cost (as defined in Paragraph 9.1(d)) of the Premises
(excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade
Fixtures) immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

           (b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to
the Premises, other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations,
the repair cost of which damage or destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more
of the then Replacement Cost of the Premises (excluding Lessee-Owned
Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures) immediately prior to
such damage or destruction. In addition, damage or destruction to the Building,
other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility  Installations and Trade
Fixtures of any lessees of the Building, the cost of which damage or
destruction is fifty percent (50%) or more of the then Replacement Cost
(excluding Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade
Fixtures of any lessees of the Building) of the Building shall, at the option
of Lessor, be deemed to be Premises Total Destruction.

           (c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to the Premises,
other than Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade
Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance
described in Paragraph 8.3(a) irrespective of any deductible amounts or
coverage limits involved.

           (d) "Replacement Cost" shall mean the cost to repair or rebuild the
improvements owned by Lessor at the time of the occurrence to their condition
existing immediately prior thereto, including demolition, debris removal and
upgrading required by the operation of applicable building codes, ordinances or
laws, and without deduction for depreciation.

           (e) "Hazardous Substance Condition" shall mean the occurrence or
discovery of a condition involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a
Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph 6.2(a), in, on, or under the
Premises.

     9.2   Premises Partial Damage -- Insured Loss. If Premises Partial Damage
that is an insured Loss occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, repair
such damage (but not Lessee's Trade Fixtures or Lessee-Owned Alterations and
Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event, however, that there is a
shortage of insurance proceeds and such shortage is due to the fact that, by
reason of the unique nature of the improvements in the Premises, full
replacement cost insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and
available, Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance
proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee
provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof,
within ten (10) days following receipt of written notice of such shortage and
request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof
within said ten (10) day period, Lessor shall complete them as soon as
reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If
Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within said period, Lessor may
nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter
to make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor
paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect. If Lessor does not receive such funds or assurance within
such ten (10) day period, and if Lessor does not so elect to restore and
repair, then this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days following the
occurrence of the damage or destruction. Unless otherwise agreed, Lessee shall
in no event have any right to reimbursement from Lessor for any funds
contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or destruction. Premises
Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3
rather than Paragraph 9.2 notwithstanding that there may be some insurance
coverage, but the net proceeds of any such insurance shall be made available
for the repairs if made by either Party.

     9.3   Partial Damage -- Uninsured Loss. If Premises Partial Damage that is
not an insured Loss occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of
Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect), Lessor may at Lessor's
option, either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after
receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage of Lessor's
desire to terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the
date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give such notice of Lessor's
intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10)
days after the receipt of such notice to give written notice to Lessor of
Lessees commitment to pay for the repair of such damage totally at Lessee's
expense and without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with
the required funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days
following such commitment from Lessee. In such event this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon
as reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does
not give such notice and provide the funds or assurance thereof within the
times specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
Lessor's notice of termination.

     9.4   Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if
Premises Total Destruction occurs (including any destruction required by any
authorized public authority), this Lease shall terminate sixty (60) days
following the date of such Premises Total Destruction, whether or not the
damage or destruction is an insured Loss or was caused by a negligent or
willful act of Lessee. In the event, however,, that the damage or destruction
was caused by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor's damages
from Lessee except as released and waived in Paragraph 9.7.

     9.5   Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last six (6)
months of the term of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair
exceeds one month's Base Rent, whether or not an insured Loss, Lessor may, at
Lessor's option, terminate this Lease effective sixty (60) days following the
date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee of Lessor's
election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such
damage. Provided, however, if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to
extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises, then Lessee may preserve this
Lease by (a) exercising such option, and (b) providing Lessor with any shortage
in insurance proceeds for adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs
on or before the earlier of (i) the date which is ten (10) days after Lessee's
receipt of  Lessor's written notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii)
the day prior to the date upon which such option expires. If Lessee duly
exercises such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor
shall, at Lessor's expense repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise
such option and provide such funds or assurance during such period, then this
Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in the first sentence of this
Paragraph 9.5.

     9.6   Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.

           (a) in the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous
Substance  Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base
Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by
Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its
repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to
the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in
excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph
8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base  Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and
other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder
shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for
any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair,
remediation or restoration.

                                                              Initials: ________
<PAGE>   59
     (b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under
the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and
meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90)
days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the
commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and
to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to
terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the
giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders
and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the
Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph
9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the
required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever
occurs first.

     9.7  HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE CONDITIONS. If a Hazardous Substance Condition
occurs, Lessor may at Lessor's option either (i) investigate and remediate such
Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at
Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to investigate and remediate such
condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000
whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days
after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous
Substance Condition of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date
sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects
to give such notice of Lessor's intention to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall
have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give
written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the excess costs of
(a) investigation and remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition to the
extent required by Applicable Requirements, over (b) an amount equal to twelve
(12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee
shall provide Lessor with the funds required of Lessee or satisfactory
assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following said commitment by Lessee.
In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor
shall proceed to make such investigation and remediation as soon as reasonably
possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such
notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof within the time
period specified above, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
Lessor's notice of termination.

     9.8  TERMINATION--ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant
to this Paragraph 9, Lessor shall return to Lessee any advance payment made by
Lessee to Lessor and so much of Lessee's Security Deposit as has not been, or
is not then required to be, used by Lessor under the terms of this Lease.

     9.9  WAIVER OF STATUTES. Lessor and Lessee agree that the terms of this
Lease shall govern the effect of any damage to or destruction of the Premises
and the Building with respect to the termination of this Lease and hereby waive
the provisions of any present or future statute to the extent it is
inconsistent herewith.

10.  REAL PROPERTY TAXES.

     10.1 PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes, as
defined in Paragraph 10.2(a), applicable to the Industrial Center.

     10.2 LESSEE'S PROPERTY TAXES. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all
taxes assessed against and levied upon Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all personal property
of Lessee contained in the Premises or stored within the Industrial Center.
When possible, Lessee shall cause its Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility
Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Lessor.
If any of Lessee's said property shall be assessed with Lessor's real property,
Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee's property within ten
(10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes
applicable to Lessee's property.

11. UTILITIES. Lessor shall pay directly for all utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, including but not limited to electricity, telephone,
security, gas and cleaning of the Premises, together with any taxes thereon.

12.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
<PAGE>   60


13.  DEFAULT: BREACH: REMEDIES.

          13.1 DEFAULT: BREACH. Lessor and Lessee agree that if an attorney is
consulted by Lessor in connection with a Lessee Default or Breach (as
hereinafter defined), $350,000 is a reasonable minimum sum per such occurrence
for legal services and costs in the preparation and service of a notice of
Default, and that Lessor may include the cost of such services and costs in said
notice as rent due and payable to cure said default. A "Default" by Lessee is
defined as a failure by Lessee to observe, comply with or perform any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or rules applicable to Lessee under this Lease. A
"Breach" by Lessee is defined as the occurrence of any one or more of the
following Defaults, and, where a grade period for cure after notice is specified
herein, the failure by Lessee to cure such Default prior to the expiration of
the applicable grace period, and shall entitle Lessor to pursue the remedies set
forth in Paragraphs 13.2 and/or 13.3:

          (b)  Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure
by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent, as and when due. Reasonable evidence
of surety bond required under this Lease, or the failure of Lessee to fulfill
any obligation under this Lease which endangers or threatens life or property,
where such failure continues for a period of three (3) days following written
notice thereof by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

          (c)  Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure
by Lessee to provide Lessor with reasonable written evidence (in duly executed
original form, if applicable) of (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized
assignment or subletting per Paragraph 12.1, (iv) a Tenancy Statement per
Paragraphs 16 or 37, (v) the subordination or non-subordination of this Lease
per Paragraph 30, (vi) the guaranty of the performance of Lessee's obligations
under this Lease if required under Paragraphs 1.11 and 37, (vii) the execution
of any document requested under Paragraph 42 (easements), or (viii) any other
documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require of Lessee under
the terms of this lease, where any such failure continues for a period of ten
(10) days following written notice by or on behalf of Lessor to Lessee.

          (d)  A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, or at the rules adopted under Paragraph 40 hereof that
are to be observed, complied with or performed by Lessee, other than those
described in Subparagraphs 13.1(a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee: provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's
Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach of this Lease by Lessee if
Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

          (e)  The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making by
Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(ii) Lessee's becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S. Code Section 101 or any
successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against
Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of
a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession
is not restored to Lessee within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets
located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the
event that any provision of this Subparagraph 13.1(e) is contrary to any
applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

          (f)  The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement of Lessee or
of any Guarantor, given to Lessor by Lessee or any Guarantor, was materially
false.

          (g)  If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is
guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantor's
liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of
such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a
bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory breach basis,
and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice by or on
behalf of Lessor to Lessee of any such event, to provide Lessor with written
alternative assurances of security, which, when coupled with the then existing
resources of Lessees of any such event, to provide Lessor with written
alternative assurances of security, which, when coupled with the then existing
resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of
Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.

           13.2 REMEDIES. If Lessee fails to perform any affirmative duty or
obligation of Lessee under this Lease, within ten (10) days after written notice
to Lessee (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may at its option
(but without obligation to do so), perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's
behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds,
insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs
and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee
shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its own
option, may require all future payments to be made under this Lease by Lessee to
be made only by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach of this Lease by
Lessee (as defined in Paragraph 13.1), with or without further notice or demand,
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such Breach, Lessor may:

          (a)  Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means, in which case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the worth at the time
or the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of
termination: (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have
been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be
reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting,, including necessary
renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys fees, and that
portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award
of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the Federal Reserve Bank District
in which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Default or Breach of
this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under this
Paragraph 13.2. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional
remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such pro-


<PAGE>   61
ceeding the unpaid rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may
reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit for such
rent and/or damages. If a notice and grace period required under Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d) was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or
to perform or quit, as the case may be, given to Lessee under any statute
authorizing the forfeiture of leases for unlawful detainer shall also constitute
the applicable notice for grace period purposes required by Subparagraph
13.1(b), (c) or (d). In such case, the applicable grace period under the
unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently after the one such statutory
notice, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the
two (2) such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a
Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease
and/or by said statute.

          (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession in effect (in
California under California Civil Code Section 1951.4) after Lessee's Breach and
recover the rent as it becomes due, provided Lessee has the right to sublet or
assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Lessor and Lessee agree that the
limitations on assignment and subletting in this Lease are reasonable. Acts of
maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment
of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interest under this Lease, shall not
constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession.

          (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located.

          (d) The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination
of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under
any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing
during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.

     13.3 INDUCEMENT RECAPTURE IN EVENT OF BREACH. Any agreement by Lessor for
free or abated rent or other charges applicable to the Premises, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus,
inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this lease, all of which
concessions are hereinafter referred to as "INDUCEMENT PROVISIONS" shall be
deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by
Lessee during the term hereof as the same may be extended. Upon the occurrence
of a Breach (as defined in Paragraph 13.1) of this Lease by Lessee, any such
Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and
of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or
consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by lessor under such an
Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor,
and recoverable by Lessor, as additional rent due under this Lease,
notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this
Paragraph 13.3 shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this
Paragraph 13.3 unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of
such acceptance.

     13.4 LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee
to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by the
terms of any ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises.
Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Lessee shall not
be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such
amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee
shall pay to Lessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by
Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a
waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted
hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not
collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the
contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly
in advance.

     13.5 BREACH BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease
unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required
to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph 13.5, a reasonable
time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor,
and by any Lender(s) whose name and address shall have been furnished to Lessee
in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such
obligation of Lessor has not been performed: provided, however, that if the
nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such
notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in
breach of this Lease if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

14.  CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the
power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power
(all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as
to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor
area of the Premises, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of
the Common Areas designated for Lessee's parking, is taken by condemnation,
Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion as the rentable floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the total rentable floor area of the Premises. No reduction of Base
Rent shall occur if the condemnation does not apply to any portion of the
Premises. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the
power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such
power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for diminution of value of the leasehold or for the taking of the
fee, or as severance damages: provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled
to any compensation, separately awarded to Lessee for Lessee's relocation
expenses and/or loss of Lessee's Trade Fixtures. In the event that this Lease is
not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of its
net severance damages received, over and above Lessee's Share of the legal and
other expenses incurred by Lessor in the condemnation matter, repair any damage
to the Premises caused by such condemnation authority. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of any amount in excess of such net severance
damages required to complete such repair.

15.  BROKERS' FEES.

     15.1 PROCURING CAUSE. The Broker(s) named in Paragraph 1.10 is/are the
procuring cause of this Lease.

     15.2 ADDITIONAL TERMS. Unless Lessee and Broker(s) have otherwise agreed in
writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee exercises any Option (as defined in
Paragraph 39.1) granted under this Lease or any Option subsequently granted, or
(b) if Lessee acquires any rights to the Premises or other premises in which
Lessor has an interest, or (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the Premises
with the consent of Lessor after the expiration of the term of this Lease after
having failed to exercise an Option, or (d) if said Brokers are the procuring
cause of any other lease or sale entered into between the Parties pertaining to
the Premises and/or any adjacent property in which Lessor has an interest, or
(e) if Base Rent is increased, whether by agreement or operation of an
escalation clause herein, then as to any of said transactions, Lessor shall pay
said Broker(s) a fee in accordance with the schedule of said Broker(s) in effect
at the time of the execution of this Lease.

     15.3 ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor's
interest in this Lease, whether such transfer is by agreement or by operation of
law, shall be deemed to have assumed Lessor's obligation under this Paragraph
15. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions
of Paragraph 1.10 and of this Paragraph 15 to the extent of its interest in any
commission arising from this Lease and may enforce that right directly against
Lessor and its successors.

     15.4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Lessee and Lessor each represent and
warrant to the other that it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker
or finder other than as named in Paragraph 1.10(a) in connection with the
negotiation of this lease and/or the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby, and that no broker or other person, firm or entity other
than said named Broker(s) is entitled to any commission or finder's fee in
connection with said transaction. Lessee and Lessor do each hereby agree to
indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against
liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed
broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of
the Indemnifying Party, including any costs, expenses, and/or attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

16.  TENANCY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     16.1 TENANCY STATEMENT. Each Party (as "RESPONDING PARTY") shall within ten
(10) days after written notice from the other Party (the "REQUESTING PARTY")
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in
writing in a form similar to the then most current "TENANCY STATEMENT" form
published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such
additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably
requested by the Requesting Party.

     16.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENT. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell
the Premises or the Building, or any part thereof, Lessee and all Guarantors
shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such
financial statements of Lessee and such Guarantors as may be reasonably required
by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to Lessee's financial
statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial statements shall be
received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used
only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.  LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "LESSOR" as used herein shall mean the owner
or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises. In the event
of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or in this Lease,
Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any
unused Security Deposit held by Lessor at the time of such transfer or
assignment. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.3, upon such transfer or
assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or
covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to
the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by
the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as hereinabove defined.

18.  SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any
other provision hereof.

19.  INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any monetary payment due Lessor
hereunder, other than late charges, not received by lessor within ten (10) days
following the date on which it was due, shall bear interest from the date due at
the prime rate charged by the largest state chartered bank in the state in which
the Premises are located plus four percent (4%) per annum, but not exceeding the
maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the potential late charge provided
for in Paragraph 13.4.

20.  TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of
all obligations to be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.

21.  RENT DEFINED. All monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the terms
of this Lease are deemed to be rent.

22.  NO PRIOR OR OTHER AGREEMENTS: BROKER DISCLAIMER. This Lease contains all
agreements between the Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and
no other prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective.
Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the Brokers that it has made,
and is relying upon, its own investigation as to the nature, quality, character
and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the
nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no responsibility
with respect thereto or with respect to any default or breach hereof by either
Party. Each Broker shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the
provisions of this Paragraph 22.

                                                                 Initials: _____

23.  NOTICES.

     23.1 NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. All notices required or permitted by this Lease
shall be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by messenger or
courier service) or may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or
U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by facsimile
transmission during normal business hours, and shall be deemed sufficiently 
given if served in a manner specified in this Paragraph 23. The addresses noted
adjacent to a Party's signature on this Lease shall be that Party's address for
delivery or mailing of notice purposes. Either Party may by written notice to
the other specify a different address for notice purposes, except that upon
Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for the purpose of mailing or delivering notices to Lessee. A
copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall
be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor
may from time to time hereafter designate by written notice to Lessee.

     23.2 DATE OF NOTICE. Any notice sent by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, shall be deemed given on the date of delivery shown
on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If
sent by regular mail, the notice shall be deemed given forty-eight (48) hours
after the same is addressed as required herein and mailed with postage prepaid.
Notices delivered by United States Express Mail or overnight courier that
guarantees next day delivery shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after
delivery of the same to the United States Postal Service or courier. If any
notice is transmitted by facsimile transmission or similar means, the same
shall be deemed served or delivered upon telephone or facsimile confirmation
or receipt of the transmission thereof, provided a copy is also delivered via
delivery or mail. If notice is received on a Saturday or a Sunday or a legal
holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business day.

24.  WAIVERS. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term,
covenant or condition hereof by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other
term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any subsequent Default or Breach by
Lessee of the same or any other term, covenant or condition hereof. Lessor's
consent to, or approval of, any such act shall not be deemed to render
unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to, or approval of, any
subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be construed as the basis of an
estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease requiring such
consent. Regardless of Lessor's knowledge of a Default or Breach at the time of
accepting rent, the acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any
Default or Breach by Lessee of any provision hereof. Any payment given Lessor
by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of moneys or damages due Lessor,
notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in
connection therewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no
force or effect whatsoever unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor
at or before the time of deposit of such payment.

25.  RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a short form memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes. The Party requesting recordation shall be
responsible for payment of any fees or taxes applicable thereto.

26.  NO RIGHT TO HOLDOVER. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over in violation of this Paragraph
26 then the Base Rent payable from and after the time of the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease shall be increased to two hundred percent
(200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding such
expiration or earlier termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as a consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee. If Lessee holds over such
holding over shall be construed to be a month-to-month tenancy and Lessee shall 
give Lessor thirty (30) days written notice.

27.  CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies
at law or in equity.

28.  COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions.

29.  BINDING EFFECT: CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be binding upon the
Parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed
by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any litigation
between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease shall be initiated in the
county in which the Premises are located.

30.  SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; NON-DISTURBANCE.

     30.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be
subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or
hereafter placed by Lessor upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the Lenders holding any such Security Device shall have no
duty, liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease, but that in the event of Lessor's default with respect to any such
obligation, Lessee will give any Lender whose name and address have been
furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose notice of Lessor's default
pursuant to Paragraph 13.5. If any Lender shall elect to have this Lease and/or
any Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device and shall
give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease and such Options shall be
deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the
documentation or recordation thereof.

     30.2 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph
30.3, Lessee agrees to attorn to a Lender or any other party who acquires
ownership of the Premises by reason of a foreclosure of a Security Device, and
that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall not: (i) be liable
for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Lessee might have against any prior lessor, or (iii) be bound by
prepayment of more than one month's rent.

     30.3 NON-DISTURBANCE. With respect to Security Devices entered into by
Lessor after the execution of this lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease
shall be subject to receiving assurance (a "non-disturbance agreement") from
the Lender that Lessee's possession and this Lease, including any options to
extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in
Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises.

     30.4 SELF-EXECUTING. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall
be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however,
that upon written request from Lessor or a Lender in connection with a sale,
financing or refinancing of Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such
further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any such
subordination or non-subordination, attornment and/or non-disturbance agreement
as is provided for herein.

31.  ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding to
enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as
hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be
entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same
suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding
is pursued to decision or judgment. The term "Prevailing Party" shall include,
without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the
relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment,
or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The
attorneys' fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee
schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees
reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys fees, costs and
expenses incurred in preparation and service of notices of Default and
consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is
subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting Breach,
Broker(s) shall be intended third party beneficiaries of this Paragraph 31.

32.  LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS. Lessor and Lessor's agents
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an
emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the
same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
Building, as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place
on or about the Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor
may at any time during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the term
hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs. All such
activities of Lessor shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee.

33.  AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first
having obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

34.  SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the exterior of the Premises
or the Building, except that Lessee may, with Lessor's prior written consent,
install (but not on the roof) such signs as are reasonably required to
advertise Lessee's own business so long as such signs are in a location
designated by Lessor and comply with Applicable Requirements and the signage
criteria established for the Industrial Center by Lessor. The installation of
any sign on the Premises by or for Lessee shall be subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 7 (Maintenance, Repairs, Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and
Alterations). Unless otherwise expressly agreed herein, Lessor reserves all
rights to the use of the roof of the Building, and the right to install
advertising signs on the Building, including the roof, which do not
unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Lessee's business; Lessor shall be
entitled to all revenues from such advertising signs.

35.  TERMINATION: MERGER. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by
Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual
termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for
Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lessor estate
in the Premises: provided, however, Lessor shall, in the event of any such
surrender, termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or
all of any existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days
following any such event to make a written election to the contrary by written
notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's
election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.

36.  CONSENTS.

          (a) Except for Paragraph 33 hereof (Auctions) or as otherwise
provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is required to
an act by or for the other Party, such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Lessor's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including
but not limited to architects', attorneys', engineers' and other consultants'
fees) incurred in the consideration of, or response to, a request by Lessee for
any Lessor consent pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, including but not
limited to consents to an assignment a subletting or the presence or use of a
Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon receipt of an
invoice and supporting documentation therefor. In addition to the deposit
described in Paragraph 12.2(e), Lessor may, as a condition to considering any
such request by Lessee, require that Lessee deposit with Lessor an amount of
money (in addition to the Security Deposit held under Paragraph 5) reasonably
calculated by Lessor to represent the cost Lessor will incur in considering and
responding to Lessee's request. Any unused portion of said deposit shall be
refunded to Lessee without interest. Lessor's consent to any act, assignment of
this Lease or subletting of the Premises by Lessee shall not constitute an
acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor
shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach,
except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time
of such consent.

          (b) All conditions to Lessor's consent authorized by this Lease are
acknowledged by Lessee as being reasonable. The failure to specify herein any
particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the impositions by
Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then
reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being
given.

                                                                  Initials:_____

38. Quiet Possession. Upon payment by Lessee of the rent for the Premises and
the performance of all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's
part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease.

39.4 Effect of Default on Options.

     (a) Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option, notwithstanding any
provision in the grant of Option to the contrary (i) during the period
commencing with the giving of any notice of Default under Paragraph 13.1 and
continuing until the noticed Default is cured, or (ii) during the period of
time any monetary obligation due Lessor from Lessee is unpaid (without regard
to whether notice thereof is given Lessee), or (iii) during the time Lessee is
in Breach of this Lease, or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee
three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1 during the
twelve (12) month period immediately proceeding the exercises of the Option,
whether or not the Defaults are cured.

     (b) The period of time within which an Option may be exercised shall not
be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessees inability to exercise an Option
because of the provisions of Paragraph 39.4(a)
     (c) All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an Option shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessees due and timely
exercise of the Option. If, after such exercise and during the term of this
Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of Lessee for a
period of thirty (30) days after such obligation becomes due (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii) Lessor gives to
Lessee three (3) or more notices of separate Defaults under Paragraph 13.1
during any twelve (12) month period, whether or not the Defaults are cured, or
(iii) if Lessee commits a Breach of this Lease.

40. Rules and Regulations. Lessee agrees that it will abide by, and keep and
observe all reasonable rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations") which
Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and
cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and unloading of vehicles and the
preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other occupants
or tenants of the Building and the Industrial Center and their invitees.

41. Security Measures. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable to
Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.
Lessee assumes all responsibility for the protection of the Premises, Lessee,
its agents and invitees and their property from the acts of third parties.

42. Reservations. Lessor reserves the right, from time to time, to grant,
without the consent or joinder of Lessee, such easements, rights of way,
utility raceways, and dedications that Lessor deems necessary, and to cause the
recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights
of way, utility raceways, dedications, maps and restrictions do not reasonably
interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to sign any
documents reasonably requested by Lessor to effectuate any such easement
rights, dedication, map or restrictions.

43. Performance Under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any
amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive the right
on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said Party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said Party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.

44. Authority. If either Party hereto is a corporation, trust, or general or
limited partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such
entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on its behalf. If Lessee is a corporation, trust or
partnership, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after request by Lessor,
deliver to Lessor evidence satisfactory to Lessor of such authority.

45. Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and the
typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or
handwritten provisions.

46. Offer. Preparation of this Lease by either Lessor or Lessee or Lessor's
agent or Lessee's agent and submission of same to Lessee or Lessor shall not be
deemed an offer to lease. This Lease is not intended to be binding until
executed and delivered by all Parties hereto.

47. Amendments. This Lease may be modified only in writing, signed by the
parties in interest at the time of the modification. The Parties shall amend
this Lease from time to time to reflect any adjustments that are made to the
Base Rent or other rent payable under this Lease. As long as they do not
materially change Lessee's obligations hereunder, Lessee agrees to make such
reasonable non-monetary modifications to this Lease as may be reasonably
required by an institutional insurance company or pension plan Lender in
connection with the obtaining of normal financing or refinancing of the
property of which the Premises are a part.

48. Multiple Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if more
than one person or entity is named herein as either Lessor or Lessee, the
obligations of such multiple parties shall be the joint and several
responsibility of all persons or entities named herein as such Lessor or Lessee.

                ADDENDUM to lease dated______________, 1997 by and between
Pacific Gulf Properties Inc., a Maryland Corporation, as "Lessor", and Brian
Malliet, as "Lessee", on the premises known as 373 and 353 North Euclid Way,
Anaheim, California.

                The above referenced Lease is hereby amended as follows:

                49. TRASH DISPOSAL: Lessee agrees that all trash and debris are
to be deposited in receptacles provided by Lessee at Lessee's expense within the
premises parking lot and all receptacles shall remain inside enclosures. If it
is determined that Lessee is regularly disposing of an unusually large amount of
refuse Lessee shall, within ten (10) days receipt of written notice from Lessor
and at Lessee's sole expense, provide for an additional trash bin and pickup
service at his or her leased premises. Lessor reserves the right to stipulate
location of storage for Lessee's additional receptacle. Lessee agrees not to
store any items or leave any debris outside premises in any of the common area,
including the parking lot and in the event Lessor must remove items or debris,
Lessor shall charge the cost of removing said items or debris to Lessee, and
Lessee shall pay same upon demand or be in default of this Lease as defined in
Paragraph 13 of this Lease.

                50. GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE: Lessee shall, at Lessee's
expense, comply promptly with all governmental authorities and all applicable
statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of
record, and requirements in effect during the term or any part of the term
hereof, regulating the use by Lessee of the Premises, including compliance with
the Uniform Fire Code. Lessee shall have the sole responsibility to secure any
and all governmental approvals relating to Lessee's use of the premises,
including but not necessarily limited to an Occupancy Permit issued by the City
of Industry. Lessee shall secure such approvals promptly and hold Lessor
harmless from any costs and fees incurred in the process, and from any fines or
penalties arising from Lessee's nonconformance with applicable law or
regulations.

                51. EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON FREE OR ABATED RENT: In the event of
Lessee's default under Paragraph 13 of this Lease, and said default by Lessee is
not cured by Lessee, any previous free rent, abated rent, or early possession
free occupancy, shall be due and payable to Lessor immediately.

                52. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: The parties hereto shall and they
hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought
by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever
arising out of or in any way related to this Lease, the relationship of Lessor
and Lessee, Lessee's use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Park,
and/or any claim of injury, loss or damage.

                53. COUNTERCLAIMS: In the event Lessor commences any proceedings
for nonpayment of rent, or any other sums or amounts due hereunder, Lessee shall
not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such
proceedings, provided, however, nothing contained herein shall be deemed or
construed as a waiver of the Lessee's right to assert such claims in any
separate action brought by Lessee or the right to offset the amount of any final
judgment owed by Lessor to Lessee.

                54. WARRANTY OF AUTHORITY: Each person executing this agreement
on behalf of a party represents and warrants that (1) such person is duly and
validly authorized to do so on behalf of the entity it purports to so bind, and
(2) if such party is a partnership, corporation or trustee, that such
partnership, corporation or trustee has full right and authority to enter into
this Lease and perform all of its obligations hereunder.


<PAGE>   66
                55. LESSOR'S PERSONAL LIABILITY: The liability of Lessor (which,
for purposes of this Lease, shall include Lessor and the owner of the Building
if other than Lessor) to Lessee for any default by Lessor under the terms of
this Lease shall be limited to the actual interest of Lessor and its present or
future partners in the Premises or the Building and Lessee agrees to look solely
to the Premises for satisfaction of any liability and shall not look to other
assets of Lessor nor seek any recourse against the assets of the individual
partners, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Lessor; it
being intended that Lessor and the individual partners, directors, officers,
shareholders, agents or employees of Lessor shall not be personally liable in
any manner whatsoever for any judgment or deficiency. The liability of Lessor
under this Lease is limited to its actual period of ownership of title to the
Building, and Lessor shall be automatically released from further performance
under this Lease and from all further liabilities and expenses hereunder upon
transfer of Lessor's interest in the Premises or the Building. Lessee agrees to
attorn to any entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Premises.

                56. RECORDATION: Lessee shall not record this Lease or a short
form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of the Lessor.

                57. WARRANTIES OF LESSEE: Lessee hereby warrants and represents
to Lessor, for the express benefit of Lessor, that Lessee has undertaken a
complete and independent evaluation of the risks inherent in the execution of
this Lease and the operation of the Premises for the use permitted hereby, and
that, based upon said independent evaluation, Lessee has elected to enter into
this Lease and hereby assumes all risks with respect thereto. Lessee hereby
further warrants and represents to Lessor, for the express benefit of Lessor,
that in entering into this Lease, Lessee has not relied upon any statement,
fact, promise or representation (whether express or implied, written or oral)
not specifically set forth herein in writing and that any statement, fact,
promise or representation (whether express or implied, written or oral) made at
any time to Lessee, which is not expressly incorporated herein in writing is
hereby waived by Lessee.

                58. MODIFICATIONS FOR LENDER: If, in connection with obtaining
financing for the Premises or any portion thereof, Lessor's lender shall request
reasonable modification(s) to this Lease as a condition to such financing,
Lessee shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto,
provided such modifications do not materially adversely affect Lessee's rights
hereunder or the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of Lessee hereunder.

                59. LESSOR AS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST: Pacific Gulf
Properties, Inc. ("PGP"), is a real estate investment trust, and all rental
income received by Lessor must therefore qualify as "rents from real property"
within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended. In order to insure such qualification, Lessee agrees that in the event
Lessee shall assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Premises in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 12, no amount received or accrued,
directly or indirectly, with respect to such assignment or sublease shall depend
in whole or part on the income or profits of the assignee or sublessee, or any
other person deriving income from the Premises. If PGP notifies Lessee that PGP
has in good faith determined that its status as a real estate investment trust
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as heretofore or
hereafter amended, will be jeopardized because of any provision of this Lease,
Lessor may request reasonable amendments to this Lease and Lessee will not
unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such
modifications do not (i) increase the monetary obligations of Lessee pursuant to
this Lease, or (ii) in any other manner adversely affect its interest in the
Premises.

<PAGE>   67
                60. Relocation of Tenant. At Landlord's written request, Tenant
shall move from the Premises to any other premises and location in the Project.
In the event of such move, the new location and premises shall be substituted
for the Premises described in the Lease above, but all other terms of this Lease
shall remain the same. It is understood and agreed that Landlord will relocate
Tenant only for sound business practices and consideration.

                61. Prohibition on Assignment and Subletting. Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Lease, Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation
of law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber
(collectively, "assign") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this
Lease or in the Premises.

                         Certificates'), and notices to the Tenants of the
                         occurrence of the sale of the Property in the form

                5. Adjustments.

                (a) The following are to be apportioned as of the Closing Date,
with Buyer receiving credit for or being charged with the entire day of the
Closing, as follows:

                    (i) Rent. Collected rent under the Leases shall be
apportioned as of the Closing Date. With respect to any rent which is
uncollected as of the Closing Date, after Closing Buyer shall pay to Seller any
rent actually collected which is applicable to the period preceding the Closing
Date, provided, however, that all rent collected by Buyer shall be applied first
to all unpaid rent accruing after the Closing Date, and then to unpaid rent
accruing prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any
steps to recover any rent arrearages. Seller shall be permitted to pursue
collection of any rent arrearages applicable to the period prior to the Closing,
provided that Buyer shall not incur any, and Seller shall indemnify Buyer
against all, cost, expense or liability in connection therewith, and provided
further that Seller shall not commence any legal or equitable proceedings in the
nature of an unlawful detainer, eviction or other proceeding which seek to
terminate any tenant's right of possession of its leased premises or result in a
lien or encumbrance on such leased premises. If any tenants are required to pay
percentage rent, escalation charges for real estate taxes, operating expenses,
CPI adjustments or other charges of a similar nature ("Additional Rent") and any
Additional Rent is collected by Buyer or Seller which is attributable in whole
or in part to any period during which the respective party did not own the
Property, such party shall promptly pay to the other party the other party's
proportionate share thereof, less a proportionate share of any reasonable
attorney's fees, costs and expenses of collection thereof. All Additional Rent
collected by Buyer shall be applied first to unpaid Additional Rent accruing
after the Closing Date, and then to unpaid Additional Rent accruing prior to the
Closing Date. If tenants pay Additional Rent on an estimated basis, then
promptly following the end of the underlying fiscal period Buyer shall reconcile
actual expenses with tenants' estimated payments of Additional Rent and any net
debit or credit to the landlord resulting from such reconciliation shall be
apportioned between Buyer and Seller. Any sums received from the tenant on
account of the termination of the United States Postal Service lease shall be
paid to Seller.

                    (ii) Leasing Costs. Seller is responsible for leasing
commissions, tenant improvement costs, tenant inducements or other leasing costs
(collectively, "Leasing Costs") payable with respect to the current term of the
presently existing leases (the "Present Leases") listed in Exhibit J attached
hereto (the "Lease Schedule"). To the extent any Leasing Costs of Present Leases
are due and payable at or before Closing they shall be paid from Seller's
proceeds. Seller and Buyer shall pay their respective shares of all Leasing
Costs with respect to any renewal, extension or expansion rights under any
Present Leases which are exercised on or after the date hereof and for any such
Leasing Costs relative to Leases amended or executed (with the approval of Buyer
as set out in Section 18 hereof) on or after the date hereof, with such shares
being based on the proportion of rent paid or payable prior to and following the
Closing Date with respect to such renewal, extension, expansion, amended Lease
or new Lease. To the extent any such Leasing Costs are due and payable as of or
after the Closing Date, but are not


                                      -5-


<PAGE>   6
paid by the responsible party, then such responsible party shall protect and
indemnify the nonresponsible party from and against any such Leasing Costs.

                    (iii) Security Deposits. Buyer shall be entitled to a credit
against the Purchase Price for the total sum of all security and other deposits
provided for in the Leases which are retained by Seller and not delivered in
kind to Buyer at Closing, and any interest earned thereon which by law or the
terms of the Leases is required to be refunded to tenants.

                    (iv) Utility Costs. Seller shall cause all the utility
meters to be read or estimated on the Closing Date, and will be responsible for
the cost of all utilities used prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent
such utility charges are billed to and paid by tenants directly. Buyer shall be
responsible for all post-Closing utility charges.

                    (v) Real Estate Taxes and Special Assessments. Seller shall
pay prior to Closing any and all delinquent real estate taxes and assessments
with respect to the Property. General real estate taxes and assessments payable
for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date.

                    (vi) Other Apportionments. Amounts payable under the
Assigned Contracts, annual or periodic permit and/or inspection fees (calculated
on the basis of the period covered), and liability for other Property operation
and maintenance expenses and other recurring costs shall be apportioned as of
the Closing Date.

                (b) Preliminary Closing Statement. Seller and Buyer shall
jointly prepare and approve a preliminary Closing Statement on the basis of the
Leases and other sources of income and expenses, and shall deliver such
computation to Escrow Holder prior to Closing.

                (c)Post-Closing Reconciliation. If any of the aforesaid
prorations cannot be definitely calculated on the Closing Date, then they shall
be estimated at the Closing and definitely calculated as soon after the Closing
Date as feasible. As soon as the necessary information is available, Buyer shall
conduct a post-Closing audit to determine the accuracy of all prorations made to
the Purchase Price (the "Post-Closing Audit"). Either party owing the other
party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or the Post-Closing
Audit shall promptly pay said sum to the other party.

                6. Closing Costs. Seller shall pay for the Preliminary Report,
the premium for the CLTA portion of the Title Policy, any sales taxes, any
transfer taxes applicable to the sale and recording fees for recording of the
Deed. In addition, Seller shall be liable for any prepayment fee or other charge
payable in connection with any payoff of monetary encumbrances. Buyer shall pay
for the ALTA portion of the Title Policy, the cost of any endorsements to the
Title Policy, the cost of any survey or surveyor's certificate, the cost of its
due diligence examination of the Real Property, and the cost of its counsel and
other professional advisors. Any escrow fees shall be paid fifty percent (50%)
by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. All other costs and charges of the
Escrow not otherwise provided for in this Agreement


                                      -6-


<PAGE>   7
shall be allocated in accordance with the closing customs for the County where
the Property is located. Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for their
respective legal fees to negotiate and execute this Agreement.
The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing.

                7. Reporting Requirernents. The Escrow Holder shall comply with
all applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements
relating to the close of the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement involve a real estate transaction within the purview of Section
6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue
Code"), Escrow Holder shall have sole responsibility to comply with the
requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code (and any similar
requirements imposed by state or local law). For purposes hereof, Seller's tax
identification number is 75-2600482. Escrow Holder shall hold Buyer, Seller and
their counsel free and harmless from and against any and all liability, claims,
demands, damages and costs, including reasonable attorney's fees and other
litigation expenses, arising or resulting from the failure or refusal of Escrow
Holder to comply with such reporting requirements. The provisions of this
Section 7 shall survive the Closing.

                8. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

                9. Title. At the Closing, Seller shall convey to Buyer
marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Real Property and Improvements,
by duly executed and acknowledged grant, bargain and sale deed in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C. A condition to Buyer's obligations under this
Agreement shall be the issuance by the Title Company to Buyer of an ALTA
extended coverage Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (Form B, rev. 10/17/7O with
Endorsement Form 1 coverage) in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring fee
simple title to the Real Property and Improvements in Buyer, subject only to
such exceptions as Buyer shall have approved pursuant to Paragraph 16 below (the
"Approved Title Exceptions") and without boundary, encroachment or survey
exceptions, except as Buyer shall have approved pursuant to Paragraph 16 below
(the "Title Policy"). The Title Policy shall provide full coverage against
mechanics' and materialmen's liens (including liens arising out of work done for
tenants) and shall contain, to the extent Buyer has obtained from the Title
Company during the Inspection Period the commitment of the Title Company to
issue such endorsements at Closing, the CLTA 100 (modified for an owner), 101.4,
103.7, 116, 116.1, 116.4, 116.7 and such other special endorsements as Buyer may
reasonably require, including, without limitation, any endorsements required as
a condition to Buyer's approval of any title exceptions pursuant to Paragraph 16
below (the "Endorsements").

                10. Possession and Condition. Full possession, subject only to
the rights of tenants under Leases and Approved Title Exceptions shall be
delivered to the Buyer at Closing, the Property to be in the same condition as
it now is, reasonable use and wear thereof excepted. The Property is to be
conveyed "as is" without any representation or warranty except as expressly set
forth herein. Buyer acknowledges that it is a sophisticated real estate
investor, advised by counsel, and that its decision to acquire the Property is
based primarily upon its own investigation of the Property, the Leases and the
market.


                                       -7-


<PAGE>   8
                11. Seller Defaults. If Seller shall be unable to convey title,
or to deliver possession of the Property, all as herein stipulated, or if on the
Closing Date the Property does not conform with the provisions hereof, then
Seller shall use reasonable efforts to remove all defects in title, and to
deliver possession as provided herein, and to make the Property conform to the
provisions hereof, as the case may be, and the Closing Date may be extended by
mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer to a date not later than thirty (30) days
after the previously scheduled Closing Date.

                If at the expiration of the extended time Seller shall have
failed so to remove any defects in title (other than monetary liens, which are
covered in paragraph 4(b)), deliver possession, or to make the Property conform,
as the case may be, all as herein agreed, then, at Buyer's option, the Deposit
shall be forthwith refunded and all other obligations of all parties hereto
shall cease and this Agreement shall be void and without recourse to the parties
hereto; provided, however, that if Buyer is satisfied with the Property and the
purchase price, then Buyer shall have the election in its sole and absolute
discretion, at either the original or extended Closing Date, to accept such
title as the Seller can deliver to the Property in its then condition and to pay
therefor the Purchase Price without deduction, except that in the event of such
conveyance:

                (a) if the Property shall have been damaged by fire or casualty
insured against, then Seller shall, unless Seller has previously restored the
Property to its former condition, pay over or assign to Buyer, at the Closing
Date, all amounts recovered or recoverable on account of such insurance, less
any amounts reasonably expended by Seller for partial restoration, up to an
amount equal to the Purchase Price; and

                (b) if any portion of the Property shall have been taken by
exercise of the power of eminent domain, Seller shall pay over or assign to
Buyer at the Closing Date, all awards recovered or recoverable on account of
such taking, less any amounts reasonably expended by Seller for partial
restoration.

                12. Insurance. Until the Closing, Seller shall retain the risk
of loss and shall maintain insurance on the Property against fire and hazards
covered by "All-Risk" insurance coverage in an amount at least equal to the
Purchase Price.

                13. Broker. Seller and Buyer mutually represent that CB
Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. (the "Broker") is the only broker with whom
they have dealt in connection with this Agreement. The commission of the Broker
shall be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement. Seller and Buyer each
agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any liability,
loss, cost, damage, or expense, including court costs and attorneys' fees,
resulting from a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in this
Paragraph. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Closing or
termination of this Agreement.

<PAGE>   9
                Buyer acknowledges that Broker is acting as Seller's agent and
that Broker makes no, and Seller has not authorized Broker to make any,
representations or warranties of any kind regarding the condition, permitted
use, or value of the Property.


                14. Seller's Warranties. Seller represents and warrants:

                (a) Seller is the fee owner of the Property and has full power
and authority to sell the Property to the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. Seller is a corporation, duly organized and validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; this Agreement and all
documents executed by Seller and delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement
are and will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, are and will
be legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller enforceable against Seller in
accordance with their respective terms, and do not and will not violate any
provision of any written agreement to which Seller is a party. To Seller's
knowledge, this Agreement and all documents executed by Seller and delivered to
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement do not violate any judicial order to which
Seller or the Property is subject. Seller has obtained all necessary
authorizations, approvals and consents to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                (b) Seller is not a foreign entity subject to withholding under

                (c) To Seller's knowledge, all documents delivered by Seller to
Buyer, or made available to Buyer for review, including without limitation the
Due Diligence Materials listed on Exhibit K, are true and complete. To Seller's
knowledge, the books, files and records relating to the Property that were
delivered to or made available to Buyer for Buyer's review do not contain any
deliberate or material omission, exclusive of information relating to the
entities which own the Property, to the relationship between the Seller and its
investors and advisors, and to Seller's financial projections and market
assumptions, whether contained in Seller's internal memoranda, financial
projections, budgets, accounting and tax records or similar proprietary,
confidential or privileged information.

                (d) To Seller's knowledge, during the period of Seller's
ownership of the Real Property Seller has not received written notice of any (i)
condemnation, environmental, zoning or other land-use proceedings, instituted or
to be instituted, against the Real Property, (ii) special assessment proceedings
affecting the Real Property (other than as set forth in the Preliminary Report),
or (iii) existing or proposed easements, covenants, restrictions, agreements or
other documents which affect title to the Real Property and which are not
disclosed by the Preliminary Report.

                (e) To Seller's knowledge, during the period of Seller's
ownership of the Real Property, and except as disclosed on Schedule 14(e)
attached hereto, Seller has not received

<PAGE>   10
notice of any litigation, arbitration or reference proceedings pending or
threatened against the Real Property or against Seller with respect to the Real
Property.

                (f) The most current Lease Schedule provided to Buyer is a
complete and accurate list of all Leases. To Seller's knowledge, except for free
rent allowed to tenants under their respective Leases, there are no leasing
costs or obligations which will remain unpaid at Closing, including, without
limitation, broker's commissions and costs in connection with tenant
improvements.

                (g) To Seller's knowledge, there exists no defaults or events
which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a
default by Seller or any of the tenants under any of the Leases. To Seller's
knowledge, there exists no defaults or events which, with the giving of notice
or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by Seller or any of the
other parties to the Service Contracts under the Service Contracts.

                Seller will indemnify, defend with counsel of Buyer's choice,
and hold Buyer its successors and assigns and their respective agents,
employees, officers, directors and partners, and the Real Property harmless from
all expense, loss, damage and claims, including Buyer's attorney's fees, if
necessary, arising out of (i) the breach of any of the Seller's warranties,
covenants and representations, related to the Real Property and arising or
occurring prior to the Closing, or related to or arising from any act, conduct,
omission, contract or commitment of Seller arising or occurring prior to the
Closing, and (ii) the litigation listed on Schedule 14(e), in each case notice
of which is delivered to Seller not later than twelve (12) months following the
Time of Closing, provided, however, that in no event shall Seller's liability
hereunder exceed the sum of Three Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($390,000).

                As used herein the term "Seller's knowledge" or any similar
phrase shall mean the actual, not constructive or implied, knowledge of John H.
Baxter or Mark E. Bratt after having made reasonable inquiry of current
employee(s) of AMRESCO Advisors, Inc., but without any further obligation on his
part to make any independent investigation of the matters being represented and
warranted, or to make any further inquiry of any other persons, or to search or
examine any files, records, books or correspondence. To the extent any
representation or warranty which is made to "Seller's knowledge" is contravened
by any information contained in the due diligence materials delivered to Buyer
by Seller and Seller's agents during the Inspection Period, then any such
representation or warranty shall be deemed modified by any such information.

                15. Assumption of Existing Financing. Buyer shall assume the
existing mortgage financing (the "Existing Loan") on the Property presently held
by Banker's United Life Assurance Company ("Lender"). On or before October 25,

Lender, all information necessary for Lender and/or AEGON to agree to the
assignment to and assumption by Buyer of the Existing Loan. Seller shall also

the assignment of the Existing Loan. Buyer shall have until the expiration of
the


                                      -10-


<PAGE>   11
Inspection Period to negotiate with AEGON and Lender an assumption and
modification agreement acceptable to Lender, Buyer and Seller. Seller agrees
that it will execute the assignment and assumption agreement and such other
documentation as may be reasonably required by AEGON and Lender, including
making representations that (a) no default exists under the Existing Loan and
(b) Seller is not indebted to Lender other than the Existing Loan. As a
condition to Closing, Buyer shall receive from Lender (x) a beneficiary
statement, (y) an estoppel confirming that no default exists under the Existing
Loan and (z) an assignment and assumption agreement, all in form and content
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (collectively, the "Assumption Documentation").
Seller shall pay (i) the one percent (1%) assumption fee payable to Lender upon
the assignment and assumption of the Existing Loan and (ii) any costs incurred
by Lender or AEGON up to $ 1 0,000.00. Buyer shall pay any of AEGON's costs in
excess of $10,000.00 as well as its own attorneys' fees and other costs in
connection with the assignment and assumption of the Existing Loan.

                16. Due Diligence.

                (a) From the Effective Date until the date thirty (30) days
after the Effective Date, but not later than the Closing Date (the "Inspection
Period"), Seller shall allow Buyer, its agents and consultants access to the 
Real Property upon not more than 24 hours' advance telephonic notice for the
purposes of conducting surveys, tests, and inspections, provided that they shall
be conducted in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with normal
business operations on the Real Property. Such inspections may include, without
implied limitation, inspections and investigations relating to the general
building, the sewage disposal system, the water and water distribution systems,
the heating and air conditioning systems, power distribution, roof, foundation,
soils and the presence of radon, asbestos, hydrocarbons or other contaminants.
All inspections and investigations shall be conducted at Buyer's cost. All
inspections and investigations shall be conducted by qualified professionals in
accordance with applicable legal requirements. Unless Buyer acquires the Real
Property, Buyer shall promptly restore the Real Property to its prior condition.
Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all liability, loss,
cost, damage or expense arising from the conduct of any such survey, test, or
inspection by Buyer or Buyer's agents or contractors. Buyer (i) shall permit a
representative of Seller to accompany Buyer on any interviews with tenants or
governmental agencies; (ii) shall not permit any inspections, investigations or
other due diligence activities to result in any liens, judgments or other
encumbrances being filed against the Real Property and shall, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly discharge of record any such liens or encumbrances that
are so filed or recorded; (iii) shall not permit any borings, drillings or
samplings to be done without the prior written consent of Seller; (iv) shall
maintain, with insurance companies satisfactory to Seller, a policy of
comprehensive general public liability insurance, with a broad form contractual
liability endorsement covering Buyer's indemnification obligations hereunder,
and with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for
bodily injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned
and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence for
bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy for
bodily injury and property damage in the amount of $5,000,000, insuring Seller
and its affiliates as additional insureds (certificates of which shall be


                                      -11-


<PAGE>   12
given to Seller prior to Buyer's first entry on the Real Property), all of which
insurance shall be written on an "occurrence form"; and (v) shall return to
Seller all materials with respect to the Real Property provided by Seller if
Buyer fails to acquire the Real Property for any reason. The provisions of this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                (b) Seller has previously provided to Buyer or will, on or
before October 31, 1997, provide to Buyer complete copies of the items listed on
Exhibit K attached hereto and made a part hereof.

                (c) Buyer may obtain, at its sole cost, and review a
non-invasive Phase I environmental report prepared by a professional
environmental assessment firm reasonably acceptable to Seller.

                (d) Buyer may, at its sole and absolute discretion, terminate
its obligations under this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or
prior to the end of the Inspection Period. In that case, (i) Escrow Holder is
instructed to return the Deposit, together with any accrued interest, to Buyer
and (ii) except for obligations that survive termination pursuant to the express
terms of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights hereunder
against the other. Failure of Buyer to elect to terminate its obligation will
constitute a waiver of the condition by Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph, Buyer shall have agreed to accept the Real
Property subject to all of the conditions disclosed in the items listed on
Exhibit K and to the environmental and physical condition of the Real Property;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding any such election to proceed, Seller
must comply with all of Seller's other obligations and duties under this
Agreement.

                (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing Buyer acknowledges that it has
been made aware of the poor condition of the roof at 4445 S. Valley View
Boulevard and shall not terminate this Agreement as a result thereof.

                17. Conditions Precedent to Closing. The following are
conditions precedent to Buyers obligations under this Agreement (the "Buyer
Conditions Precedent"). The Buyer Conditions Precedent are intended solely for
the benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer in writing. In the event
any Buyer Condition Precedent is not satisfied, Buyer may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement and all obligations of Buyer and
Seller hereunder (except provisions of this Agreement which recite that they
survive termination) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

                (a) Buyer's inspection, review and approval, within the
Inspection Period, of all aspects of the Real Property.

                (b) The issuance by the Title Company to Buyer of the Title
Policy subject only to the Approved Title Exceptions and including the

                (c) Buyer's receipt, within the Inspection Period, of an
"as-built", ALTA/ACSM survey (the "Survey") of the Real Property, reflecting all
plottable items referred to in the Preliminary Report, prepared by a surveyor or
civil engineer licensed in the State of California, complying with the
requirements, and containing the certification, set forth in Exhibit L attached
hereto.

                (d) All of Seller's representations and warranties contained in

and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

                (e) Seller shall have fully complied with all of Seller's duties
and obligations contained in this Agreement.

                (f) There shall not have first arisen between the end of the
Inspection Period and the Closing Date, any litigation or administrative agency
action or other pending governmental proceeding which, after Closing, would, in
Buyer's reasonable discretion, materially adversely affect the value of the Real
Property or the ability of Buyer to operate the Real Property in the manner in
which it is currently being operated, nor any pending proceedings which would
cause the redesignation or other modification of the zoning classification of,
or of any building or environmental code requirements applicable to, any of the
Real Property. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly upon Seller's having knowledge
of any litigation to which Seller is a party or of any administrative proceeding
specifically relating to the Real Property.

                (g) Seller shall have provided Buyer with an updated Lease
Schedule three (3) business days prior to Closing, which updated Lease Schedule
must not indicate any material adverse change from the Lease Schedule last
approved by Buyer. Seller shall specifically identify any changes from the most
recently approved Lease Schedule, and Buyer shall have performed a closing audit
which confirms the Lease Schedule.

                (h) Seller shall terminate prior to the Closing, at no cost or
expense to Buyer, any and all Service Contracts or Other Documents affecting the
Real Property that are not Assigned Contracts. Concurrently with the expiration
of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall provide to Seller a list of the Assigned
Contracts.

                (i) In Buyer's reasonable determination there shall not have
occurred, between the end of the Inspection Period and the Closing Date, any
material adverse change in or addition to the information or items reviewed and
approved by Buyer during the Inspection Period.

                (j) Buyers review of the Required Estoppel Certificates to
confirm that they contain the documentation and/or information reasonably
requested by Seller, that they have not been modified in any material way, and
that they do not contain any assertion of a material default by the Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Estoppel Certificates will not be considered
non-conforming if the tenant has revised or deleted Paragraph 12 of the estoppel
certificate (which relates to environmental matters) or if the tenant delivers
an estoppel certificate


                                      -13 -


<PAGE>   14
substantially in the form required by such tenant's lease; provided, however,
that if the tenant revises Paragraph 12 in a manner that discloses a material
breach of the Seller's legal obligations relative to environmental matters, such
revision will be subject to Buyer's review and approval.

                (k) Buyer's receipt of the Assumption Documentation.

                18. Operation of Real Property. Seller shall have the right to
operate, manage, lease and maintain the Real Property utilizing the criteria
Seller used prior to execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
provided this Agreement is in full force and effect, Buyer shall have the right
to approve any new leases, lease extensions, lease modifications, sublease
agreements, assignments or contracts affecting the Real Property and Seller
shall not execute any new leases, lease extensions or lease modifications
without the prior written approval of Buyer which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Buyer does not respond within five (5) business days of Buyer's
receipt of Seller's request for approval, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved
such lease, lease extension or lease modification. Upon the expiration of the
Inspection Period, Seller shall not waive, compromise or settle any rights of
Seller under any contract or Lease, or agree to return any security deposit, or
modify, amend, or terminate any Assigned Contract, without in each case
obtaining Buyer's prior written consent thereto, which Seller agrees not to
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Seller shall terminate prior to the
Closing, at no cost or expense to Buyer, any and all Service Contracts that are
not Assigned Contracts. Between Seller's execution of this Agreement and the
Closing, Seller shall maintain the Real Property in good order, condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, shall perform all work required to be
performed by the landlord under the terms of any Lease, and shall make all
repairs, maintenance and replacements of the Improvements and any Tangible
Property and otherwise operate the Real Property in substantially the same
manner as before the making of this Agreement, as if Seller were retaining the
Real Property. In the event of the Closing of the purchase of the Real Property,
Buyer shall not retain the existing employees and management agents of Seller
for the Real Property, and, accordingly, on the Closing, Seller shall (i) cause
all employment and management agreements respecting the Real Property to be
terminated, and deliver evidence of such termination to Buyer, and (ii) remove
all employees and management personnel from the Real Property.

                19. Confidentiality. Buyer shall hold in strict confidence, and
shall cause its officers, directors and other personnel, representatives and
agents to hold in strict confidence, and not to disclose to any other party
without the express written consent of Seller, any of the information respecting
the Real Property or provided to Buyer by Seller or any of its agents,
representatives or employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's obligation
to keep such information confidential shall expire upon the occurrence of the
Closing, and during the escrow period Buyer may disclose such information on a
need-to-know basis to its professional advisors who are providing assistance in
connection with the acquisition of the Real Property, and to governmental bodies
in order to comply with applicable law. If Buyer acquires the Real Property from
Seller, Seller shall have the right, subsequent to the Closing, to publicize the
transaction in whatever manner it deems appropriate. The provisions of this
Paragraph 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Title Policy without boundary, encroachment or survey exceptions, to be obtained
by Buyer at Buyer's sole expense.

                      (iv) All of Seller's representations and warranties
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall have been true and correct
when made and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date; provided that,
in the event of any change in Seller's representations and warranties prior to
Closing, Seller may update such representations and warranties by delivery of
written notice to Buyer. In the event Seller's updated representations and
warranties are unacceptable to Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Agreement, and the Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Buyer.

                      (v) Seller shall have fully complied with all of Seller's
duties and obligations contained in this Agreement.

Closing would, in Buyer's reasonable discretion, materially adversely affect the
value of the Property or the ability of Buyer to operate the Property in the
manner in which it is currently being operated, and no proceedings shall be
pending which would cause the redesignation or other modification of the zoning
classification of, or of any building or environmental code requirements
applicable to, any of the Property.

                      (vii) Seller shall have provided Buyer with an updated
Rent Roll three (3) business days prior to Closing, which updated Rent Roll must
not indicate any material adverse change from the Rent Roll last approved by
Buyer. Seller shall specifically identify any changes from the most recently
approved Rent Roll and provide a certificate executed by Seller certifying that
such updated Rent Roll is true and correct (including, without limitation, the
amount of Security Deposits and description of uncured tenant defaults and
delinquencies listed thereon), and stating whether there exist any events which
with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a tenant
default under a Lease, and Buyer shall have performed a closing audit which
confirms the updated Rent Roll.

or addition to the information or items reviewed and approved by Buyer during
the Due Diligence Period.

but prior to Closing. Seller shall use good faith efforts to obtain and deliver
to Buyer tenant estoppel certificates in form and substance satisfactory to
Buyer from any and all tenants occupying any portion of the Property
(collectively, "Tenants"). Certificates substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F (as modified to address specific reasonable concerns arising
as a result of Buyer's review of the Leases) shall be deemed acceptable to
Buyer. For any Tenant that Seller is not able to deliver a Tenant estoppel
certificate, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a landlord's estoppel certificate
covering the information which would otherwise have been included in the
Tenant's estoppel certificate; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be
obligated to accept or approve any estoppel provided by Seller if Buyer has
reason to believe any statement contained therein would be disputed or denied by
the applicable Tenant; and provided further that Buyer shall not be obligated to
accept or approve estoppels provided by Seller representing



                                       -6-

to Seller's obligations under this Agreement (the "Seller Conditions
Precedent"). The Seller Conditions Precedent are intended solely for the benefit
of Seller and may be waived only by Seller in writing. In the event any Seller
Condition Precedent is not satisfied, Seller may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, terminate this Agreement, and, subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 7, all obligations of Buyer and Seller hereunder (except provisions of
this Agreement which recite that they survive termination) shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect.

                      (i) All of Buyer's representations and warranties
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall have been true and correct
when made and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF ANY CONDITION PRECEDENT TO CLOSING OR A DEFAULT UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF SELLER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL IMMEDIATELY BE RETURNED
TO BUYER. IF SAID SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED SOLELY BECAUSE OF A DEFAULT UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF BUYER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY
SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL
DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR
IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE
PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DEPOSIT HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS
THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES AND AS SELLER'S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON THE PART OF BUYER. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
BENEFITS IT MAY HAVE UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389.

        INITIALS: Seller                 Buyer [illegible]
                        ------------           -----------

               (b) In the event the sale of the Property is not consummated due
to seller's default under this Agreement, the Deposit shall be immediately
returned to Buyer and Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either (1)
terminate this Agreement and recover all actual out of pocket costs, including,
without limitation, attorney fees and costs, and other damages incurred by
Buyer, in the amount not to exceed forty thousand dollars ($40,000), or (2)
continue this Agreement pending Buyer's action for specific performance, each
such remedy shall be deemed exclusive or to preclude the pursuit of any other
remedy. Any damages to which Buyer is entitled shall include, without
limitation, all title, escrow, legal and inspection fees incurred by Buyer and
any other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the performance of its
due diligence review of the Property, including, without limitation,
environmental and engineering consultants, fees and the fees incurred in
connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement.

<PAGE>   8

Agreement, provided such supplemental Escrow instructions are not in conflict
with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any
supplementary Escrow instructions signed by Buyer and Seller, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.

following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Holder shall,
unless it is notified by both parties to the contrary within five (5) days after
such date, return to the depositor thereof items which were deposited hereunder.
Any such return shall not, however, relieve either party of any liability it may
have for its wrongful failure to Close.

deliver to Escrow Holder or Buyer the following:

Seller. With respect to any rent arrearages existing at the Closing, after
Closing Buyer shall pay to Seller any rent actually collected which is
applicable to the period preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that all
rent collected by Buyer shall be applied first to all unpaid rent accruing after

connection therewith, and provided further that Seller shall not commence any
legal or equitable proceedings in the nature of an unlawful detainer, eviction
or other proceeding which would have the effect of interfering with any tenant's
quiet enjoyment of its leased premises or result in a lien or encumbrance on
such leased premises.

                      (ii) Leasing Costs. Seller shall either pay prior to
Closing or provide Buyer with a credit toward the Purchase Price for any leasing
commission or tenant improvement cost or allowance (collectively "Tenant Costs")

which occur after the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total
number of days of the term of Lease Amendment #2.

commissions in connection with Lease Amendment #3 and Lease Amendment #4 for all
periods prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of

prorated between Buyer and Seller at Closing based on the number of months of
the lease term prior to the Closing Date and number of months of the lease term
after the Closing Date, exclusive of any un-exercised options to renew or extend
the term.

shall pay prior to Closing any and all delinquent real estate taxes and
assessments with respect to the Property. General real estate taxes and
assessments payable for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs shall be

to the Purchase Price (the "Post-Closing Review"). Either party owing the other
party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) or the Post-closing
Review shall promptly pay said sum to the other party, together with interest
thereon at the rate of two percent over the "prime rate" (as announced from
time to time in the Wall Street Journal) per annum from the Closing Date to the
date of payment if payment is not made within ten (10) days after delivery of a
bill therefor.

               (g) Closing Costs. Seller shall pay for the Preliminary Report,
the CLTA portion of the premium for the Title Policy, any sales taxes, any
transfer taxes applicable to the sale and recording fees for recording of the

payable in connection with any payoff of monetary encumbrances. Buyer shall pay
any additional premium necessary to obtain the Title Policy in ALTA form and the
cost of any Endorsements. Buyer shall pay the cost of a new ALTA survey or the
cost of updating Seller's existing survey, as applicable. Any excrow fees shall
be paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. All

of three (3) years after the Closing (the "Survival Period"), except in the
case of fraud or willful misrepresentation, in which case such representations
and warranties shall survive independent of this limitation; provided, however,
that for matters as to which Buyer has given Seller written notice within the
Survival Period, the representation and warranties of Seller that are related to
the matters in such written notice shall survive until all liabilities arising
out of the matters described in such written notice have been satisfied.

        12.  Indemnity.

               (a) Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Buyer, its
successors and assigns and their respective agents, employees, officers,
directors and partners, and the Property from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, demands, damages and costs (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses), whether direct, contingent or consequential and
no matter how arising ("Liabilities") in any way (i) related to the Property and
arising or occurring prior to the Closing; (ii) related to or arising from any
act, conduct, omission, contract or commitment of Seller; or (iii) resulting
from any breach of representation or warranty by Seller or resulting from any
breach or default by Seller under this Agreement.

               (b) Except for Liabilities that are covered by Paragraph 12(a),
above, Buyer shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Seller, its successors
and assigns and their respective agents, employees, officers and partners,



                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14

from and against any and all Liabilities in any way (i) related to the Property
and arising or occurring after the Closing; (ii) related to or arising from any
act, conduct, omission, contract or commitment of Buyer; or (iii) resulting from
any breach of representation or warranty by Buyer or resulting from any breach
or default by Buyer under this Agreement.

        13.  Casualty or Condemnation.

               (a) In the event any of the Property is damaged and/or destroyed
by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, and the cost to repair
and/or restore such damage and/or destruction (which cost, for purposes of this
paragraph, shall be deemed to include reasonably anticipated post-Closing rental
loss through to completion of such repair and/or restoration) exceeds One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), then Buyer shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten (10) business
days after Buyer's first learning of the occurrence of such casualty and the
cost of such repair and/or restoration. In the event of any such termination,
the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Buyer and Seller shall each be liable
for one-half of any escrow fees or charges, and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligation under this Agreement.

               (b) In the event any of the Property is damaged and/or destroyed
by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date where (i) the cost to repair
and/or restore such damage and/or destruction does not exceed one Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), or (ii) the cost to repair and/or restore
such damage and/or destruction exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00) but this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to (a) above as a
result thereof, then the Closing Date shall occur as scheduled notwithstanding
such damage; provided, however, that Seller's interest in all proceeds of
insurance payable by reason of such casualty shall be assigned to Buyer as of
the Closing Date or credited to Buyer if previously received by Seller, and
Buyer shall receive a credit toward the Purchase Price for any insurance
deductible or co-insurance payment.

               (c) In the event a governmental entity commences eminent domain
proceedings to take any material (in Buyer's reasonable discretion) portion of
the Property after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller
within ten (10) business days after Buyer first learns of such commencement. In
the event of any such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, Buyer
and Seller shall each be liable for one-half of any escrow fees or charges, and
neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this
Agreement.

                (d) In the event a governmental entity commences eminent domain
proceedings to take any part of the Property after the date hereof and prior to
the Closing Date and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to (c) above as a
result thereof, then the Closing Date shall occur as scheduled notwithstanding
such proceeding; provided, however, that Seller's interest in all awards arising
out of such proceedings shall be assigned to Buyer as of the Closing Date or
credited to Buyer if previously received by Seller.

      14. Possession. Possession of the Property (subject to the Leases) shall
be delivered by Seller to Buyer on the Closing Date, provided, however, that
prior to the Closing Date Seller shall afford authorized representatives of
Buyer access to the Property for purposes of satisfying Buyer with respect to
the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained herein and
with respect to satisfaction of any Buyer Condition Precedent to the Closing
contained herein, including without limitation an environmental investigation.
Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any damage or
injury to persons or property caused by Buyer or its authorized representatives
during their entry and investigations prior to Closing. Buyer's liability under
the indemnity contained in this Paragraph shall expire (6) months following the
completion of Buyer's physical inspections or termination of this Agreement,
whichever is earlier.

        15. Maintenance of the Property and Property Personnel. Between Seller's
execution of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall maintain the Property
in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, shall
perform all work required to be Performed by the landlord under the terms of any
Lease, and shall make all repairs, maintenance and replacements of the
Improvements and any Tangible Personal Property and otherwise operate the
Property in the same manner as before the making of this Agreement, as if Seller
were retaining the Property. After full execution of this Agreement and until
the Closing, Seller shall maintain all existing personnel on the Property in
their current employment positions at not less than their current rate of
compensation. Without limiting the effectiveness of the foregoing provisions or
the other provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Service Contracts,
unless Buyer specifically provides Seller with written notice to the contrary,
in the event of the Closing of the purchase of the Property, Buyer shall not
retain the existing employees and management agents of Seller for the Property,
and, accordingly, on the Closing, Seller shall (i) cause all employment and
management agreements respecting the Property to be terminated, and deliver
evidence of such termination to Buyer, and (ii) remove all employees and
management personnel from the Property.

        16. Leasing; Buyer's Consent to New Contracts Affecting the Property;
Termination of Existing Contracts. Seller shall use commercially reasonable
efforts until Closing to lease any vacant space, or space becoming vacant, in
the Real Property to tenants utilizing the criteria Seller used prior to
execution of this Agreement. Seller shall not, after the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period, enter into any lease of the Property or any portion thereof
without obtaining Buyer's prior written consent thereto, provided that Buyer
shall be deemed to have consented to any such lease if Buyer has not delivered
written notice to Seller of Buyer's objection to such lease within five (5)
business days of Buyer's receipt of the proposed lease and such information as
would normally and reasonably be required to evaluate the prospective tenant,
including, without limitation, such tenant's proposed use of the space and
financial information concerning such tenant. Buyer may enter into a lease of
space to Lamson & Sessions and/or Excel Logistics, provided that to the extent
either such lease is executed after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period,
Buyer is provided with written notice thereof in detail sufficient to allow
Buyer to evaluate the merits of the proposed transaction. Buyer shall be deemed
to have approved the proposed transaction unless within ten (10) days of Buyer's
receipt of such written notice Buyer has provided Seller with a written response
setting forth in reasonable detail Buyer's reasons for disapproving the proposed
transaction. Buyer shall not enter into any contract affecting the Property, or
any amendment thereof, or permit any tenant to enter into any sublease,
assignment or agreement pertaining to the Property (except as expressly
authorized by such tenant's Lease), or waive, compromise or settle any rights of
Seller under any contract or Lease, or agree to return any security deposit, or
modify, amend, or terminate any Assigned Contract, without in each case
obtaining Buyer's prior written consent thereto. Seller shall terminate prior to
the Closing, at no cost or expense to Buyer, any and all Service Contracts that
are not Assigned Contracts.

        17. Insurance. Through the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain or cause
to be maintained, at Seller's sole cost and expense, and each in the amount and
form maintained by Seller prior to the date of this Agreement:

               (a) a policy or policies of insurance (subject only to
commercially reasonable deductibles) insuring the improvements and Tangible
Personal Property against all insurable risks, including, without limitation,
fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, lightning, windstorm, water, earthquake and
other perils customarily covered by casualty insurance and the costs of
demolition and debris removal; and



                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16

               (b) a policy or policies of workers, compensation and employers,
liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance, and automobile
liability insurance.

        18.  Cooperation with Buyer. Seller shall cooperate and do all acts as
may be reasonably required or requested by Buyer with regard to the fulfillment
of any Buyer Condition Precedent but Seller's representations and warranties
shall not be affected or released by Buyer's waiver or fulfillment of any Buyer
Condition Precedent. Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer and its agents
to make all inquiries with and applications to any third party, including any
governmental authority, as Buyer may reasonably require to complete its due
diligence.

        19.  Brokers and Finders. Neither party has had any contact or dealings
regarding the Property, or any communication in connection with the subject
matter of this transaction, through any real estate broker or other person who
can claim a right to a commission or finder's fee in connection with the sale
contemplated herein except for Steve Marino and Trenton Bonner ("Brokers") ,
whose entire commission shall be the responsibility of Seller. In the event that
any other broker or finder claims a commission or finder's fee based upon any
contact, dealings or communication, the party through whom the broker or finder
makes its claim shall be responsible for said commission or fee and all costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys, fees)
incurred by the other party in defending against the same. The party through
whom any other broker or finder makes a claim shall hold harmless, indemnify and
defend the other party hereto, its successors and assigns, agents, employees,
officers and directors, and the Property from and against any and all
obligations, liabilities, claims, demands, liens, encumbrances and losses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) , whether direct, contingent or
consequential, arising out of, based on, or incurred as a result of such claim.
The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

        20.  Marketing.  Seller agrees not to market or show the Property to, 
or solicit offers from, any other prospective purchasers during the term of this
Agreement.

        21.  REIT. Buyer hereby advises Seller that Buyer is qualified as a real
estate investment trust under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and that, by reason thereof, the maintaining of such status
and the avoiding of any activity which might cause a penalty tax to be applied
is of material concern to Buyer. Accordingly, Seller agrees to make any
modifications or amendments to this Agreement requested by Buyer prior to
Closing that may be necessary for Buyer to maintain its status as a real estate
investment trust or in order for it to avoid a penalty tax; provided, however,
that Seller shall have no obligation to enter into any such modification or
amendment that would materially alter or affect, in Seller's sole judgment,
Seller's rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement. If Seller declines
to modify or amend this Agreement for any reason in a manner which Buyer
determines, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable business judgment, is
necessary to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust or avoid a
penalty tax, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice delivered to Seller prior to Closing. In the event Buyer exercises such
termination right, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and all other funds and
documents deposited in escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the
same.

        22.  Miscellaneous.

               (a) Notices. Any notice, consent or approval required or

               (g) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the

places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

               (h) Counterparts. This Agreement, and any document executed in
connection with this Agreement, may be executed in any number of counterparts
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one

party by reason of any party having or being deemed to have structured or

                TRANSFEROR'S CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS


        To inform PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES INC., a Maryland corporation
("Transferee"), that withholding of tax under Section 1445 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), will not be required upon the
transfer of certain real property to the Transferee by ("Transferor"), the
undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of the Transferor:

        1. The Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
foreign trust, foreign estate or foreign person (as those terms are defined in
the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder);

        2. The Transferor's U.S. employer or tax (social security)
identification number is 680244846;

        The Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to
the Internal Revenue Service by the Transferee and that any false statement
contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

        The Transferor understands that the Transferee is relying on this
Certification in determining whether withholding is required upon said transfer.

        The Transferor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the
Transferee harmless from and against any and all obligations, liabilities,
claims, losses, actions, causes of action, rights, demands, damages, costs and
expenses of every kind, nature or character whatsoever (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by the
Transferee as a result of: (i) the Transferor's failure to pay U.S. Federal
income tax which the Transferor is required to pay under applicable U.S. law; or
(ii) any false or misleading statement contained herein.

        Under penalty of perjury I declare that I have examined this
Certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true and

correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this
document on behalf of the Transferor.
