                                     PART I

Item 1.   Business.

     Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-
administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") that
is engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, management and operation
of multifamily properties. The Company, together with its subsidiaries as
described below, is a fully integrated real estate organization with in-house
acquisition, development, financing, marketing, leasing and property management
expertise. The Company's primary strategy for growth is to acquire, develop,
own and manage high quality multifamily properties for income generation and
long-term value appreciation.

     The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT whereby all of
the Company's properties, property interests, and business assets are owned by,
and its operations are conducted through, Charles E. Smith Residential Realty
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") of which the
Company is the sole general partner and holder of approximately 62% of the
common and preferred units of limited partnership interest ("Units") as of March
1, 1999. The other limited partners of the Operating Partnership (the "Minority
Interest") primarily consist of the former limited and general partners of
properties and the former owners of the property service businesses acquired by
the Operating Partnership (see "History of the Company" below). The Operating
Partnership owns 100% of the nonvoting common stock, which represents 99% of the
total economic interest, of three operating companies (collectively, the
"Property Service Businesses") which provide property services to the properties
owned by the Operating Partnership and to other multifamily, retail, and office

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
properties. The three Property Service Businesses are: Smith Realty Company,
which directly provides management, leasing, financing, development and
insurance services and indirectly provides furnished corporate apartments
through a wholly-owned subsidiary; Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc.,
which provides engineering and technical services; and Smith Management
Construction, Inc., which provides construction and interior renovation
services. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company
has the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating
Partnership, subject to the consent of the holders of Units in connection with
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership.
Some references made herein to the Company include the Operating Partnership and
the Property Service Businesses, as the context requires.

     As of March 1, 1999, the Company, through the Operating Partnership and its
subsidiaries, owned 50 operating multifamily apartment properties containing a
total of 19,852 units (the "Multifamily Properties"),  two retail centers
containing approximately 436,000 square feet of retail space (the "Retail
Properties"), and had four properties under construction containing
approximately 2,100 units  ("Development Properties").  All properties,
excluding five in Chicago, Illinois and two in Boston, Massachusetts, are
located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (collectively, the
"Properties").

     The Company's executive offices are located at 2345 Crystal Drive, Crystal
City, Arlington, Virginia 22202, and its telephone number is (703) 920-8500.
The Company is a Maryland corporation formed in 1993. The Company completed its
initial public offering of common stock on June 30, 1994. The Operating
Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 1993; it commenced
business operations on June 30, 1994.

History of the Company

     The Company and the Operating Partnership were formed to succeed to the
property assets of 38 partnerships (the "Property Partnerships") and certain
asset management and property service businesses of the Charles E. Smith
Companies (the "Smith Companies").  On June 30, 1994, the Company consummated an
initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") of 8,632,800 shares of
its common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and a private
placement of 416,667 shares of its Common Stock.  The Company contributed the
net proceeds of such offerings to the Operating Partnership in return for
9,049,467 Units of general and limited partnership interest therein.  On that
same date, (i) the Operating Partnership acquired, in exchange for 12,131,292
Units, 30  Properties (reflects the combination of  three buildings into one for
operational and statistical purposes), partial interests in two additional
properties, all of the non-voting common stock of the Property Service
Businesses (representing 99% of the economic interest), and notes of the
Property Service Businesses in the aggregate amount of $44.5 million; (ii) the
Operating Partnership, through its partnership subsidiaries, issued $352.4
million of fixed-rate indebtedness secured by certain of the Properties in
private placements to institutional investors and assumed certain other
indebtedness (the "Mortgage Loans"); (iii) the Operating Partnership applied the
proceeds of the

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
Mortgage Loans and the Company's contribution of offering proceeds to repay
approximately $454 million of mortgage indebtedness, $26.2 million in related
party indebtedness and $11.1 million in notes payable to a bank, to pay $13.8
million in prepayment penalties related to the early extinguishment of debt, to
pay $14.7 million in transfer taxes and other costs associated with the
formation of the Company and the Operating Partnership, and to pay $18.5 million
of mortgage recording taxes, origination fees and other expenses associated with
the Mortgage Loans, and to supply $15.4 million of working capital; and (iv) the
Operating Partnership established a $100 million line of credit to fund
development activities and property acquisitions and for general corporate
purposes (collectively, the "Formation Transactions").

     Since the Formation Transactions and through March 1, 1999, the Operating
Partnership developed one and acquired 24 operating Multifamily Properties
totaling 9,351 apartment units and sold three properties totaling 1,334 units.
In addition, the Operating Partnership had approximately 2,100 units under
construction in four Development Properties as of March 1, 1999 (see "Recent
Developments" below).

Business Strategy

     The Company seeks growth in funds from operations (a common measure of
equity real estate investment trust performance, defined as net income [loss]
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding
gains or losses from debt restructuring and other non-recurring items, plus
depreciation and amortization of assets unique to the real estate industry)
while preserving and enhancing property values by pursuing the following
strategies: (i) maximizing cash flow from operations of the Properties by
seeking to maintain high occupancy levels, obtain rent increases, manage tenant
turnover efficiently, make strategic capital investments, expand the
availability of furnished rental apartments, initiate new tenant fees and
control operating expenses; (ii) acquiring additional multifamily properties for
Common Stock, Units, or cash in situations where, in the judgment of management,
the Company's business strengths have the potential to increase property
performance and value; (iii) developing new multifamily properties consistent
with the predecessor Smith Companies' historical policies of constructing and
maintaining high quality properties for long-term income and value enhancement;
and (iv) actively promoting the comprehensive property services of the Property
Service Businesses to unaffiliated property owners.  In addition to its
activities in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the Company also seeks to
acquire additional properties or portfolios in Chicago, Boston, southeast
Florida and other markets with characteristics similar to the Company's current
portfolio that offer opportunities for profitable investment and long-term
growth.

Financing Strategy

     To the extent that the Company's board of directors determines to seek
additional capital for acquisitions or otherwise, the Company may raise such
capital through additional equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash
flow (subject to provisions of the Internal Revenue

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
Code of 1986, as amended, requiring the distribution by a REIT of a certain
percentage of taxable income and taking into account taxes that would be imposed
on undistributed taxable income), or a combination of these methods.

Equity

     During 1998 and through March 1, 1999, the Company completed several equity
transactions.

     In January 1998, the Company sold 500 shares of Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Shares"), $0.01 par value, to
Cobalt Capital, L.L.C.

     The Company amended the Articles of Incorporation to designate and
establish the rights and privileges of the Series C Preferred Shareholders which
include certain voting, dividend and liquidation preferences over the common
shareholders.  The Series C Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of
$100,000 per share and an initial annual dividend of $7,910 per share (7.91% of
purchase price).  If the securities receive an investment grade rating, the
dividend  will decrease to $7,660 per share.  Dividends are cumulative and are
payable quarterly.  The Company may redeem Series C Preferred Shares after
February 1, 2028, at the liquidation price plus accrued dividends.

     In April 1998, the Company sold the remaining 978,581 shares of Series
A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred
Shares") to Security Capital Preferred Growth Inc. under the May 1997 agreement.

     In July 1998, the Company completed the sale of 1,400,000 shares of
common stock (par value of $0.01 per share) under its existing shelf
registration statement.

     During 1998, 502,038 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Shares") were converted to
common shares on a one-for-one basis.

     The Company currently has on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission an effective registration statement which allows the sale of up to
$450,000,000 in debt or equity securities, of which approximately $312,000,000
remains available. As long as the Operating Partnership is in existence, the net
proceeds of all equity capital raised by the Company will be contributed to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in the
Operating Partnership.  The Company and the Operating Partnership also may issue
securities senior to the Common Stock or Units, including additional preferred
stock or debt securities (either of which may be convertible into Common Stock
or Units or may be accompanied by warrants to purchase Common Stock or Units).

                                       4

Debt

     The Company's policy is to incur debt (including debt incurred under its
lines of credit) only if upon such incurrence its ratio of debt to total market
capitalization would be 60% or less. The Company and its Board of Directors may
reevaluate or modify this financing policy from time to time in light of
economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of
properties, growth and acquisition opportunities and other factors.  At 
December 31, 1998, the Company's debt to total market capitalization ratio was
40.3%.

Property Management

     The Company and its Property Service Businesses are experienced in the
management and leasing of multifamily and retail properties. The Company
believes that the management and leasing of its own portfolio has resulted in
consistent income growth and reduced operating expenses. The Property Service
Businesses have provided the Company both with a source of cash flow and with
economies of scale in conjunction with the management and leasing of its own
Properties.  These Property Service Businesses also allow the Company and its
subsidiaries to establish additional relationships with tenants that benefit the
Properties.

Property Service Businesses

     Multifamily Property Management Services.  The residential property
management business of Smith Realty Company ("SRC"), an operating subsidiary of
the Company, is a long-established, integrated business with extensive
experience in leasing and managing multifamily properties. This subsidiary has
been managing and leasing multifamily housing in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area since 1946 and, as of March 1, 1999, manages 63 apartment
properties of which 50 are owned by the Operating Partnership. It also assists
in the development and acquisition of additional multifamily properties and
carries out a periodic inspection program that addresses all aspects of the
property and property management.

     During 1998, Multifamily and Retail Property Management Services expanded
the corporate apartment program as a result of the acquisition by Smith Realty
Company of Noel Enterprises, Inc. ( d.b.a. "Presidential Villas"), a provider of
furnished corporate apartments in Chicago, Illinois.  A portion of the total
purchase price of $8.5 million is contingent upon achievement by Presidential
Villas of certain earnings targets over the next two years.  The Operating
Partnership lent to Smith Realty Company the initial payment of $6.75 million in
exchange for a five year note.

     Retail Property Management Services.  The retail management and leasing
business, also conducted through Smith Realty Company, approaches the management
and leasing of its retail portfolio with an integrated program of regular direct
communication with retail tenants, proactive assistance with marketing,
merchandising and monitoring store operations, and

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
maintenance. A retail marketing staff works to promote the shopping centers as a
whole and to work with individual tenants to ensure the effectiveness of store
design, marketing, merchandising and sales efforts. The retail management and
leasing group, in addition to providing complete property management and leasing
services for the Company's two Retail Properties totaling approximately 436,000
square feet, also provides such services for a fee to three retail properties
owned by affiliated parties totaling approximately 293,000 square feet. Smith
Realty Company also provides retail leasing and brokerage services for
additional, unaffiliated third parties on a fee-for-service basis.
 
          Financing Services.  Historically, the Company solicited, procured and
arranged financing for a fee on behalf of commercial office properties, the
majority of which are affiliated with Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, the
Co-Chief Executives and Co-Chairmen of the Board of the Company and the owners
of approximately 13% of the Shares and Units of the Company.  During the fourth
quarter of 1997, many of these commercial office properties were rolled up into
a master partnership, Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P. ("CESCR"), an
affiliate of Messrs. Smith and Kogod.  In 1998 most of the remaining commercial
office properties were rolled up into CESCR.  In connection with the formation
of CESCR, the Company entered into a 14-month agreement to continue to provide
financing services for certain of the properties of CESCR through December 31,
1998.  Management does not expect any significant future income from Financing
Services.

     Engineering and Technical Services.  The engineering and technical services
business is conducted through Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc., an
operating subsidiary of the Company, which manages, operates, maintains and
repairs the "physical plant" of office, multifamily, and retail properties.
Through its staff of on-site and off-site engineers, supervisors, technical
specialists and maintenance personnel, this subsidiary provides various
services, including on-site building systems operations and maintenance,
engineering and technical consulting, automated environmental monitoring and
controls, preventive maintenance, management of building environmental systems
and repair and replacement of mechanical/electrical systems.  This business
serves the Properties and also provides facilities management services for both
affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, including condominium, bank,
university and government buildings. During 1998, services were provided with
respect to approximately 46 million square feet of facilities.

     Interior Construction and Renovation Services.  The construction services
business, conducted through Smith Management Construction, Inc., an operating
subsidiary of the Company, is a construction management and general contracting
company that provides interior construction and renovation services to the
Properties and various other affiliated and unaffiliated third party clients.
This business focuses primarily on capital improvement projects and office and
retail tenant space construction and alteration, and provides the expertise
necessary to take a project from the initial planning and preconstruction stage
through the completion of construction. In 1998, oversight was provided to
approximately $80 million of construction activity.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     Corporate Services. The corporate services businesses, conducted through
Smith Realty Company, enable a central office to provide supporting services in
the areas of  insurance, legal advice, accounting, information systems, human
resources, office  administration and marketing to the Company and its
subsidiaries, as well as to other affiliated third parties, including CESCR.
Services are provided at cost (including overhead) in accordance with cost and
executive sharing agreements. In management's opinion, the allocation methods
provide reasonable estimates of the costs that would have been incurred by the
Company had the services been provided by the Company.

     The accounting department is responsible for all accounting, auditing and
controls, procedures and management information systems as they relate to the
Company and the Properties, and for certain other partnerships and corporate
entities (including affiliates of Messrs. Smith and Kogod). The legal department
provides real estate and corporate advice to management, performs legal services
and in some cases coordinates representation by outside counsel.  The marketing
department develops and implements a variety of marketing programs for the
Company and its subsidiaries.  The human resources department administers all
personnel functions.  The insurance subsidiary provides property and casualty
insurance placement services for both corporate and individual property
requirements.

Employees

     As of March 1, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately
1,820 full-time and part-time employees, the latter primarily employed in
on-site clerical positions. This total includes 680 employees who provide
on-site property services and, in the Property Service Businesses, 690 persons
in its engineering and technical services subsidiary, 120 persons in its
interior construction and renovation subsidiary, and 330 persons in its
residential and retail leasing and management, finance, and corporate services
subsidiary.

Tax Status

     The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31,
1994. The Company believes that it qualifies for taxation as a REIT, in which
case the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income
that it distributes to shareholders provided it distributes at least 95% of its
REIT taxable income to its shareholders. Even if the Company qualifies for
taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes
on its income and property and to Federal income and excise taxes on its
undistributed income. In addition, the Property Service Businesses, which do not
qualify as REITs, are subject to federal, state, and local taxes on their net
taxable income.

Item 2.   Properties

General

     The 56 Properties as of March 1, 1999 consist of 50 Multifamily Properties,
four Development Properties and two Retail Properties, as described in more
detail below. Twenty-eight of the Multifamily Properties (reflecting the
combination of three buildings into one for operational and statistical
purposes) and both Retail Properties were acquired in connection with the
Formation Transactions. In addition, the Company held a minority limited
partnership interest in one other multifamily property in the Washington
metropolitan area, acquired in the Formation Transactions and increased in a
subsequent transaction.

     All of the Company's properties are located in developed areas that include
other residential and retail properties.  The number of competitive residential
properties in a particular area could have a material effect on the Company's
ability to lease apartment units and on the rents charged.  In addition, other
forms of single and multifamily residential properties provide housing
alternatives to tenants and potential tenants of the Company's residential
properties.  The Company's retail properties face similar competition with other
retail properties with respect to tenant leases.  The Company believes that the
properties are well located in their markets and are well constructed and
designed.  In the opinion of management, the Company's properties are adequately
covered by insurance.

Multifamily Properties

     The 48 operating Multifamily Properties owned as of December 31, 1998
contain a total of 19,279 garden, mid-rise, and high-rise apartment units,
ranging in size from 115 to 1,075 apartment units.  Two of the properties are
located in Chicago, Illinois, two are located in Boston, Massachusetts with the
balance in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. All of the Multifamily
Properties are 100% owned by the Company and its subsidiaries. In 1998, the
average monthly rental revenue per core unit was $970 and the average economic
occupancy was 96.6% for the Core Residential Portfolio (Multifamily Properties
owned as of December 31, 1996.) As of December 31, 1998, the average age of the
operating Multifamily Properties, weighted by 1998 revenues, was 25 years.

     Each of the Multifamily Properties is established in its local market and
provides residents with numerous amenities and services, which may include
24-hour desk service,

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
swimming pools, tennis courts, exercise rooms and/or saunas, day care centers,
party or meeting rooms, tenant newsletters, and laundry facilities. Nearly all
units are wired for cable television, and many units also offer additional
features, such as washer/dryer, microwave, fireplace, and patio/balcony. The
Company maintains an ongoing program of regular maintenance and capital
improvements and renovations, including roof replacement and exterior
maintenance, kitchen and bath renovations, balcony repairs, and replacements
of various building systems.

     The following table sets forth certain additional information relating to
the Multifamily Properties as of December 31, 1998 (in the following table,
occupancy is based upon economic occupancy, which measures occupancy beginning
on the rent commencement date; monthly revenue per unit is total property
revenue divided by the number of apartment units; and certain data may be
omitted for properties not operated by the Company for the entire year):

Retail Properties

     The Company's two Retail Properties, Skyline Mall and Worldgate Centre, are
enclosed malls containing a total of approximately 436,000 square feet of retail
space.   Until December  1997, both Retail Properties leased  health club
facilities to entities controlled by Messrs. Smith and Kogod pursuant to leases
expiring on December 31, 2015.  In December 1997, the health clubs were sold by
Messrs. Smith and Kogod.  In conjunction with that sale, the Company agreed to
restructure the two leases, including reduced base rent on the Worldgate lease,
and extended terms on both leases for ten years, through 2025, in exchange for a
$2.3 million cash payment.

     Worldgate Centre.  Worldgate Centre is a community retail center located in
Herndon, Virginia, at the intersection of two major Northern Virginia traffic
arteries, the Dulles Airport Access Highway and Centreville Road.  Developed by
the Smith Companies in 1991, it is a part of a mixed-use development which
includes the 320-unit Multifamily Property which the Company constructed in
1995. The town of Herndon is located in Fairfax County, one of the highest
median income counties in the country. The Property contains the 108,670 square
foot Worldgate Athletic Club, a Loew's Cinema, and a mix of approximately 
40 other food service, fashion and specialty retailers and various business and
general service tenants. Worldgate Centre has 230,926 square feet of leasable
area and had an average occupancy rate of 99.5% during 1998. Approximately 16%
of the leases, based on net rentable area, are scheduled to expire prior to the
year 2003.

     Skyline Mall.  Skyline Mall is a two-level, enclosed community retail
center located on Route 7 in Northern Virginia, at the intersection of  Fairfax
County, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria, Virginia. Originally
developed by the Smith Companies in 1977, it is part of a mixed-use community
which also includes over two million square feet of office space and over 3,300
high-rise condominium and apartment units (including Skyline Towers, a 940-unit

owned by the Company), all within walking distance. The Property has 204,914
square feet of leasable area and had an average occupancy rate of 97.2% in 1998.
It contains the 79,920 square foot Skyline Racquet and Health Club, an AMC
Cinema, and approximately 40 other stores, including restaurants, fashion and
specialty retailers, and various business and general services. Approximately
12% of the leases, based on net rentable area, are scheduled to expire prior to
the year 2003.

Property Markets

     The Company believes that economic trends and market conditions in the
locations where the Company currently operates -- Chicago, Boston, Northern
Virginia, and Washington, D.C. -- and locations where the Company will 
operate -- southeast Florida -- indicate an excellent potential for continued
high occupancy and rental rate growth in 1999 and beyond. These markets have all
experienced strong employment growth in 1998, as shown in the table below, and
are projected to be among the top U.S. markets in total employment growth over
the period 1993 to 2005, with a projected average annual increase in each market
of 45,000 jobs or more, according to projections prepared by the U.S. Dept. of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis and released in mid-1996.

     In the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, employment and population growth
in recent years, and expected in future years, has been strongest in the
Northern Virginia segment of the metropolitan area, which is the sector where
the majority (68%) of the Company's Properties are located.  The growth in
Northern Virginia is substantially attributable to continuing strong growth 
in the technology sector, particularly the Internet technology and
telecommunications segments.  The Company believes that this trend will continue
due to the concentration of technology firms in Northern Virginia and the growth
outlook for the Internet technology and telecommunications industries.  The
outlook for the District of Columbia economy has improved  significantly due to
the return to positive employment growth late in 1998 after several years of
federal government cutbacks and the election of a new mayor.

     Demand for multifamily rental apartments continues to be strong in all of
the Company's markets as evidenced by high occupancy and rent growth rates.
Surveys of comparable investment grade apartment properties are conducted in
each these markets annually by The REIS Reports, Inc. The results of these
surveys are shown in the following tables:

     The supply of new rental apartment properties in the more urbanized
portions of the Company's markets has been extremely limited in recent years,
particularly in the more desirable submarkets where the Company concentrates its
focus. In the Washington metro area the supply of new multifamily properties has
been increasing moderately over the past several years and is likely to continue
to do so based on multifamily permits data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau.
These data show that the number of multifamily permits issued in the area were,
7,786 in 1996, 6,907 in 1997, and 8,935 in 1998, which includes both for-sale
condominium and rental apartment properties. These levels remain well below the
peak of over 13,000 in 1987. Most of the new supply of rental apartments is
occurring in the outer suburban areas and does not compete directly with the
Company's properties, which are predominantly in the vicinity of and within
Interstate 495, the 

                                       19

Capital Beltway. Downtown Chicago has actually experienced a net decrease in
higher end rental apartments in recent years due to condo conversions, and the
Company's 809-unit Superior Place property is currently the only new apartment
property under construction in the downtown area.

     Overall, the Company believes that the anticipated increases in employment
and population projected for the Boston, Chicago, Northern Virginia, Washington
D.C. and southeast Florida markets, together with limited increases in supply of
new rental units in locations competitive with the Company's properties, will
result in the Company's multifamily rental submarkets remaining in a strong
occupancy position for at least the next 18-24 months.  As a result, the Company
believes that these conditions will provide an opportunity to improve apartment
rent levels, and will also allow additional development and acquisition
opportunities.

Mortgage Financing

     As of  December 31, 1998, 30 of the 54 Properties were subject to Mortgage
Loans aggregating approximately $592,386,000. The Mortgage Loans are
collateralized by first lien mortgages or deeds of trust on Properties organized
into three pools ("Mortgage Pool Three," "FNMA" and "Prudential" as shown in the
chart below) and ten individual loans (the "Individual Mortgages").  The
Mortgage Loans bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7.1% at
December 31, 1998. The Properties collateralizing each Mortgage Loan, the
outstanding principal balances as of December 31, 1998, the applicable interest
rates, and the maturity dates for each Mortgage Loan are set forth in the chart

    The loan secured by Mortgage Pool Three is interest only through June 30,
1999, at which time amortization begins using a 25-year amortization schedule
with a balloon payment at maturity. In addition, this loan may not be prepaid
until May 1, 1999, at which time it would be subject to a yield maintenance
premium. The loan is cross-collateralized with the $83 million line of credit
from 

                                       21

the same lender, as described below. Certain predecessor partners executed
guarantees for $42 million of the mortgage loans secured by Mortgage Pool Three.

    The Company announced a standby credit facility in 1998 of up to 
$300 million with Fannie Mae which provides for non-recourse, long-term debt for
up to fifteen years. The initial draw on this facility was $140 million at 6.75%
for fifteen years. The bulk of the proceeds were used to retire Mortgage Pool
Two of $125.2 million and the associated prepayment penalty of $9.5 million.
Terms and rates of subsequent draws on this facility will be determined at the
time of use. Closing of the facility is expected during the second quarter of
1999.

    During 1998, the Company obtained a $53 million, ten year secured loan from
Prudential at a fixed coupon rate of 6.88%. The loan is secured by two
Multifamily Properties. In conjunction with this loan, the Company terminated a
$20 million (notional value) treasury lock contract at a gain of $0.4 million
which will be amortized over the term of the new loan.

    The Individual Mortgages relate to debt secured by  individual Multifamily
Properties.  The loans  require monthly payments of interest and, in certain
cases, principal. The loan secured by Patriot Village was refinanced in
September 1996 and was obtained jointly with a ground lessor, with a portion of
the principal allocated to each of them.  The ground lessor has been allocated
$9.9 million of the refinanced loan (of the total of $41.0  million outstanding
as of December 31, 1998), for which the Operating Partnership is contingently
liable.  The loan requires the payment of interest only through August 2004, at
which time amortization begins using a 30-year amortization schedule with a
balloon payment due in August 2009.  The Company remits full debt service to the
lender and reduces its ground rent payment by the corresponding amount of debt
service relating to the principal assigned to the ground lessor.

Lines of Credit

    The Company terminated its $100 million line of credit in 1998 and entered
into two new unsecured lines of credit -- a $100 million line and a $185 million
line --  with PNC Bank, NationsBank, and U.S. Bank, as agents, which mature in
March 2001.  Draws upon the new lines are subject to certain unencumbered asset
requirements and bear interest at a selected London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR)
plus 75 to 120 basis points based on the leverage ratio of the Company.  As of
December 31, 1998, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding draws was
6.22%.  If the Company receives an investment grade rating on its unsecured
debt, the interest rate will decrease to 60 to 90 basis points over LIBOR based
on the rating.  The Company pays a fee of 0.20% on the full amount available
under the lines of credit.  The line of credit agreements contain certain
restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum equity value, debt to
equity ratios and debt service coverage requirements.  The maximum amounts
outstanding during 1998 and 1997 were $251.5 million and $97.0 million,
respectively.

    The Company also has an $83 million acquisition credit facility which allows
for debt maturities up through July 2004.  The line of credit provides for an
interest rate that is fixed at the 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
time of each borrowing at 150 basis points over 10-year Treasury Bills and is
cross-collateralized with Mortgage Pool Three. Debt outstanding of $30 million
at December 31, 1998 bears interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 7.27%
and is collateralized by two Properties. The agreement contains certain
restrictive covenants including a limit on debt to asset value and maintenance
of debt service coverage ratios. In February 1999, the unused portion, or 
$53 million, of the line expired.

Construction Loans

    In October 1997, the Company obtained a variable rate, unsecured
construction loan of $46.3 million to finance the construction of an acquired
development property.  The loan is recourse to the Operating Partnership, bears
interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis point (6.85% at December 31, 1998), and matures
in October 2000 with three six-month extension options based on certain
conditions. The loan balance at December 31, 1998 was $31.6 million.

    During 1998, the Company obtained a $90 million variable rate, secured
construction loan in connection with the development of One Superior Place in
Chicago, Illinois, with interest currently at LIBOR plus 135 basis points (6.93%
at December 31, 1998), payable monthly, due July 1, 2001. At the Company's
option, maturity may be extended for two one-year periods based on certain
conditions.  The loan is collateralized by the property and is recourse to the
Operating Partnership. The loan balance at December 31, 1998 was $31.6 million.
 
Item 3.   Legal Proceedings.

    The Company and/or the Property Service Businesses are presently subject to
legal actions or claims for damages that arise in the ordinary course of
business.  In the opinion of management and counsel to the Company, the ultimate
outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial  position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 5.   Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder
          Matters.

    The Company's shares of Common Stock have been listed on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") since June 24, 1994, trading under the symbol "SRW." Prior to
that date, the Company's shares of Common Stock were not publicly traded.

                                       24
<PAGE>

    In December 1998, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Rights
Plan") in which certain stock purchase rights were granted as a distribution to
holders of common stock. The Rights Plan is designed to deter coercive or unfair
takeover tactics. In implementing the Rights Plan, the Board of Directors
declared a distribution of one Right for each share of the Company's outstanding
common stock. Each Right initially entitles the holder thereof to purchase one
one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock for $108. One one-thousandth of a
share of preferred stock is intended to be approximately the economic equivalent
of one share of common stock. The Rights expire on December 13, 2008. At the
time of adoption of the Rights Plan, the Rights are neither exercisable nor
traded separately from the common stock. The Rights are exercisable only if a
person or group in the future becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the
common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer which would result in its
ownership of 15% or more of the common stock.

    The following table sets forth the high and low closing sale prices for the
shares of Common Stock for the periods indicated as reported by the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape, and the dividends paid by the Company with
respect to each such period:

                     FOOTNOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

1.   Represents the Company's pro rata share of 58.9% in 1998, 50.9% in 1997,
     45.3% in 1996, 43.1% in 1995 and 42.9% in 1994 net of distributions in
     excess of  earnings allocated to Minority Interest.

2.   Funds from Operations (FFO) is defined by the National Association of Real
     Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as  net income (loss) (computed in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains
     (or losses) from debt restructuring and other non-recurring items, plus
     depreciation/amortization of assets unique to the real estate industry.
     Depreciation/amortization of assets not unique to the industry, such as
     amortization of deferred financing costs and non-real estate assets, is not
     added back. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (which, unlike
     Funds from Operations, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions
     and other events in the determination of net income) and should not be
     considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
     performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make
     distributions. The Company considers FFO a meaningful, additional measure
     of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that
     the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and
     because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure.
     Comparison of the Company's presentation of FFO, using the NAREIT
     definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not
     necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of
     the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

3.   Represents the Company's pro rata share of 58.9% in 1998,  50.9% in 1997,
     45.3% in 1996, 43.1% in 1995, and 42.9% in 1994.

4.   Average occupancy is defined as gross potential rent for the core portfolio
     less vacancy allowance divided by gross potential rent for the period,
     expressed as a percentage.

5.   Core portfolio represents properties owned or stabilized by the Company as
     of December 31 two years prior to the current reporting date.

6.   At the formation of the Company, all rental properties were recorded at
     predecessor partners' historical cost basis which is significantly less
     than current value and, therefore,  results in dilution of  shareholders'
     book value. Shareholders' equity for each year presented is net of
     $(244,208) contribution by Predecessors of assets at historical cost, net
     of  liabilities.

7.   Represents mortgage loans, lines of credit and construction loans.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

BACKGROUND

     The following discussion compares historical results of operations for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 as well as the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996.  The discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Data," and the financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this annual report.

THE COMPANY

     Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. is a public equity real estate
investment trust ("REIT") that is engaged primarily in the acquisition,
development, management and operation of multifamily properties. Together with
its subsidiaries, the Company is a fully integrated real estate organization
with in-house acquisition, development, financing, marketing, leasing and
property management expertise. The Company is structured as an umbrella
partnership REIT, under which all property ownership and business operations are
conducted through Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L. P. (the "Operating
Partnership") and its subsidiaries. The Company is the sole general partner of
the Operating Partnership.

     On June 30, 1994, the Company raised net equity of approximately 
$201.4 million through an initial public offering and a private placement 
(the "Offerings") of approximately 9.0 million common shares, including the
subsequent exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The Company used
the proceeds to purchase a proportionate limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership, which is the successor entity of the CES Group.
Simultaneous with the Offerings, the Operating Partnership, through financing
partnerships, issued mortgage debt secured by certain properties.

     As of December 31, 1998, the Company, through the Operating Partnership and
its subsidiaries, owned 48 operating multifamily properties, four multifamily
properties under construction and two retail shopping centers (collectively, the
"Properties").   Three of the properties are located in Chicago, Illinois and
two are located in Boston, Massachusetts; all other properties are located in
the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Company also had conditional
agreements to purchase four additional to-be-constructed multifamily properties.

                                       29

Occupancy Rates

   Average occupancy of the Company's core multifamily properties in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, where over 90% of the Company's portfolio is
located, is consistent with the area's market-wide average occupancy, based on
annual surveys of approximately 80% of comparable investment grade apartment
properties conducted by The REIS Reports, Inc. as follows:

  It is important to note that market data from The REIS Reports, Inc. is
determined on a physical occupancy basis, whereas the Company's occupancy data
is calculated on an economic basis. Physical occupancy data commonly yields a
slightly higher percentage than economic occupancy because apartment units are
considered physically rented when a rental applicant's deposit is received, a
point in time generally prior to the actual rent commencement date used in
computing economic occupancy.

Rental Revenue

  Average revenue per apartment unit for the Company's core multifamily
properties increased approximately 4.8% in 1998 as compared with 1997, and 3.5%
in 1997 (based on properties owned as of December 31, 1995) as compared with
1996.

  Multifamily and Retail Property Management Services provide management
services to the Operating Partnership at cost plus 5% in accordance with the
management agreement. In addition to 50 owned Properties (operating Multifamily
and Retail), management services were also provided to 13 third-party owned
multifamily properties of approximately 3,800 apartment units and to three
third-party owned retail properties of approximately 293,000 square feet. Of the
16 third-party management agreements, eleven are with Affiliates and five are
with unaffiliated property owners. The management agreements with Affiliates are
for initial terms of three years or more while the management agreements with
unaffiliated owners generally have one-year terms.

  During 1998, Multifamily and Retail Property Management Services expanded the
corporate apartment program as a result of the acquisition by Smith Realty
Company of Noel Enterprises, Inc. ( d.b.a. "Presidential Villas"), a provider of
furnished corporate apartments in Chicago, Illinois.  A portion of the total
purchase price of $8.5 million is contingent upon achievement by Presidential
Villas of certain earnings targets over the next two years.  The Operating
Partnership lent to Smith Realty Company the initial payment of $6.75 million in
exchange for a five year note.

  Interior Construction and Renovation Services provided oversight to
approximately $80 million of gross construction activity in 1998 compared to
approximately $66 million in 1997 and $58 million in 1996. Services are provided
to the Operating Partnership at cost and to Affiliates and third parties at cost
plus a fee.

  Engineering and Technical Services provides on-site building systems
operations, maintenance and inspection to the Operating Partnership and
Affiliates at cost and to third parties at cost plus a fee. Services were
provided to approximately 46 million square feet of facilities in 1998, 30
million square feet in 1997, and 28 million square feet in 1996.

  Financing Services performed $335 million of refinancings in 1998 compared to
$489 million in 1997 and $242 million in 1996.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

Comparison to Year Ended December 31, 1997

  Summary.  Net income of the Operating Partnership increased 33.8%, or 
$17.7 million, from $52.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 
$69.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Funds from Operations
("FFO") of the Operating Partnership increased $25.6 million, or 35.1% during
the same period. Net income of the Company increased from $24.7 million, or
$1.87 per basic common share ($1.86 per diluted common share), for the year
ended December 31, 1997 to $30.4 million, or $1.86 per basic common share 
($1.85 per diluted common share), for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
Company's FFO for 1998 was $58.0 million, a 56.2% increase over the Company's
FFO for 1997. The increase in both net income and FFO is due to increases in
income from the rental properties, primarily the multifamily acquisition and
development properties. These increases were partially offset by higher interest
and other expenses related to acquisitions and

                                       36
<PAGE>
 
development. The decrease in net income per share is attributable to the loss on
an unused treasury lock and extraordinary losses associated with extinguishment
of debt.

  Rental Properties.  Revenue from rental properties increased $50.1 million, or
25.0%, from $200.1 million for 1997 to $250.2 million for 1998. Expenses
(including depreciation) from all rental operations increased $26.1 million, or
25.0%, from $104.5 million in 1997 to $130.6 million in 1998.

  Core Portfolio.  Revenue from the core portfolio increased $7.7 million, or
4.8% over the prior year due to rent increases in all submarkets, slightly
improved occupancy and additional cable and telephone revenues.  Average monthly
revenue per core apartment unit increased from $925 in 1997  to $970 per month
during 1998. Revenue growth by submarket over 1997 ranged from 3.7% in the
Maryland properties to 6.5% in northwest Washington, D.C.  Average economic
occupancy for the portfolio increased to 96.6% in 1998 from 96.5% in 1997. The
Company also continues to expand and aggressively market its furnished apartment
program. As a result, revenues from this program increased $0.4 million, or
19.4%, over the prior year period.  Operating expenses on the core portfolio
increased 1.2% over the prior year.  This was primarily due to higher personnel
costs (including outsourcing) and real estate tax expenses partially offset by
utility savings and lower repair and maintenance costs both related to a mild
winter.

  Operating margins of the Company's core portfolio of approximately 60% and 58%
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are generally
lower in comparison to industry averages due primarily to the Company's method
of recovering utility costs.  Apartment rents, for the most part, include
utility services such as electricity and gas since the Company bears utility
costs. The majority of the Company's competitors, however, require their tenants
to pay utilities directly. Management estimates that the Company's operating
margins would be approximately 63% on a comparable basis.

  Acquisition/Disposition Portfolio. The eleven acquisition  properties and two
disposition properties, contributed $41.2 million, or 82.3%, of the total rental
revenue increase and $16.2 million, or 90.8%, of the increase in operating
expenses resulting in a contribution to net operating income of $25.0 million.
The balance of the portfolio reflects operations of the two properties sold
during 1998 - Oxford Manor and Marbury Plaza.

  Development Portfolio.  Springfield Station delivered initial units in May
1998 and has a total of 280 units delivered as of December 31, 1998.  Estimated
completion and stabilization is expected in late 1999.  Courthouse Place
delivered 103 initial units in December 1998.  Estimated completion and
stabilization is expected by early 2000.

     Retail Portfolio.  Retail revenues decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.5%,
during 1998 compared to the prior year due primarily to the restructuring of the
Worldgate health club lease in 1997 partially offset by other rent increases.
Average occupancy at the two retail properties increased from 97.4% in 1997 to
98.4% in 1998.

  Property Service Businesses.  Income from the Property Service Businesses
increased $0.8 million, or 11.0%, during 1998 compared to 1997.

                                       37
<PAGE>
 
     Income before depreciation for Multifamily and Retail Property Management
Services increased $1.2 million, or 149.5%, primarily due to the acquisition in
the second quarter of Presidential Villas.

     Income before depreciation for Interior Construction and Renovation
Services increased $0.8 million, or 71.1%, due to an increase of $1.7 million in
net fee revenue offset by an increase of $0.9 million in related expenses. This
was due primarily to an increase in the volume of projects completed on behalf
of Affiliated commercial office property partnerships, partially offset by a
loss incurred during the first quarter of 1998 associated with cost overruns and
unrecovered owner change orders on a large outside contract. The Company is
currently pursuing an arbitration claim which may result in a partial recovery
of the loss.

     Revenue from Engineering and Technical Services increased 34.4%, or 
$17.4 million, in 1998 with a corresponding increase of $17.1 million in
expenses compared to 1997 due primarily to significant additional facilities
management contracts obtained in 1997 and 1998. Income before depreciation for
Engineering and Technical Services increased 8.8% to $4.2 million for 1998
compared to $3.8 million in 1997. The lower margin in 1998 reflects a decrease
in higher margin HVAC repair and replacement projects.

     Income before depreciation for Financing Services decreased $1.3 million,
or 41.0%, due primarily to an unusually high level of fees in 1997 in connection
with the roll-up of Affiliated commercial properties into a single partnership -
Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P. ("CESCR"). At the formation of CESCR,
the Company entered into a 14-month agreement to continue providing financing
services through December 31, 1998 for certain properties owned by CESCR. The
1998 fees were earned in connection with debt refinancings arranged for
properties owned or managed by CESCR. Fees on properties owned by CESCR were
earned in accordance with the Company's agreement while fees on properties
managed by CESCR were separately negotiated. Management does not expect any
significant future income from Financing Services.

     Other.  Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by 
$2.4 million, or 36.3%, due primarily to additional personnel added in mid-1997
to expand the Company's acquisition and development program and write-offs of
capitalized costs on terminated acquisition and development projects. Interest
expense increased by $1.9 million, or 4.2%, primarily due to financing of
acquisition and development activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

Comparison to Year Ended December 31, 1996

     Summary. Net income of the Operating Partnership increased 50.0%, or 
$17.4 million, from $34.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 
$52.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Funds from Operations of the
Operating Partnership increased $20.2 million, or 38.3%, during the same period.
Net income of the Company increased from $11.0 million, or $1.11 per basic and
diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $24.7 million, or
$1.87 per basic common share ($1.86 per diluted common share), for the year
ended December 31, 1997. The Company's FFO for 1997 was $37.2 million, a 55.7%
increase over the Company's FFO

                                       38
<PAGE>
 
for 1996. The increase in both net income and FFO is due to increases in income
from the rental properties, primarily the multifamily acquisition and
development properties. These increases were partially offset by higher interest
and expenses related to acquisitions and development.

     Rental Properties. Revenue from rental properties increased $36.1 million,
or 22.0%, from $164.0 million for 1996 to $200.1 million for 1997. Expenses from
rental properties (including depreciation) increased $15.3 million, or 17.2%,
from $89.2 million in 1996 to $104.5 million in 1997.

     1997 Core Portfolio.  Revenue from the 1997 core portfolio (based on
properties owned as of December 31, 1995) increased $5.2 million, or 3.5%, from
$148.2 million in 1996 to $153.4 in 1997.  Based on the 1998 core, revenue was
$158.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The difference of 
$5.4 million represents the transfer of three properties into core on January 1,
1998 and two properties out of core that were sold in 1998. Expenses increased
$0.3 million, or 0.4%, over the prior year primarily due to expected increases
in payroll and related costs, partially offset by savings from management
restructuring and the outsourcing of janitorial services.

     Average monthly revenue per apartment unit of the 1997 core portfolio
increased 3.5% from $870 in 1996 to $901 per month during 1997. Average economic
occupancy decreased slightly to 96.4% in 1997 from 96.9% in 1996. The decrease
in occupancy was not unexpected given the aggressive efforts initiated by
management to increase rents as well as the implementation during the third
quarter of 1996 of several revenue-enhancing initiatives, including a premium
for month-to-month leases and the charging of a non-refundable move-in fee in
lieu of security deposits.

     1997 Acquisition Portfolio.  The 1997 acquisition portfolio, consisting of
4,038 apartment units contributed $30.4 million, or 84.2% of the rental revenue
increase.  This growth was primarily due to the fact that six of the nine
properties, or 3,036 units, were acquired during 1997.  The acquisition
properties added $12.3 million in property operating expenses compared to the
prior year.
 
     Retail Portfolio. Retail revenues increased by $0.2 million, or 2.5%,
during the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the prior year due primarily
to rent increases and improved vacancy at Skyline Mall. Average occupancy at
Skyline Mall increased from 95.1% in 1996 to 97.2% in 1997.

     In December 1997, Messrs. Smith and Kogod sold their health club facilities
which lease retail space from the Company.  In conjunction with that sale, the
Company agreed to restructure the leases by reducing base rent on the Worldgate
lease and extending the terms on both leases by ten years, through 2025, in
exchange for a $2.3 million cash payment which is being amortized over the lives
of the revised leases. The Company used the funds to retire 65,000 Operating
Partnership units.
 
     Property Service Businesses.  Income from the Property Service Businesses
decreased $0.2 million, or 3.2%, during 1997 compared to 1996.

     Income before depreciation for Multifamily and Retail Property Management
Services decreased $1.5 million, or 65.6%, primarily due to a non-recurring fee
of $0.6 million earned in 1996 

                                       39
<PAGE>
 
in connection with the termination of a management agreement with a hotel owned
by a related party. In addition, revenue decreased by an additional $0.9 million
due to the February 1997 acquisition of two properties previously managed by the
Company.

     Income before depreciation for Interior Construction and Renovation
Services increased $0.1 million, or 8.9%, due to an increase of $1.0 million in
net fee revenue offset by an increase of $0.9 million in related expenses.

     Revenue from Engineering and Technical Services increased 20.0%, or 
$8.4 million, in 1997 with a corresponding increase of $8.2 million in expenses
compared to 1996 due primarily to additional HVAC systems operations and
preventative maintenance contracts obtained throughout 1997. Due to start-up
costs on the new contracts, operating margins during 1997 were lower than 1996.
Consequently, income before depreciation for Engineering and Technical Services
increased a moderate 4.8% to $3.8 million for 1997 compared to $3.7 million in
1996.

     Income before depreciation for Financing Services increased $1.2 million,
or 60.2%, due primarily to fees earned on an unusually high level of
refinancings performed during the fourth quarter of 1997. Such refinancings were
related to the roll-up of Affiliated commercial properties into a single
partnership. In conjunction with the roll-up, Financing Services personnel
transferred to the new entity, Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P.

     Other.  Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by 
$1.3 million, or 24.9%, due primarily to additional personnel added during the
year to expand the Company's acquisition and development program. Interest
expense increased by $1.8 million, or 4.1%, primarily due to assumed debt on
acquisitions of multifamily properties. Distributions in excess of earnings
allocated to Minority Interest decreased $4.8 million. Such charges are no
longer necessary as a result of the February 1997 stock offering and the related
elimination of the Minority Interest deficit.
 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary

     Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $118.6 million for 1998
compared to $75.2 million for 1997. The increase of $43.4 million was primarily
due to higher cash flow contributed by the acquisition portfolio as well as core
revenue growth.

     Net cash flow used by the Company for investing activities increased 
$93.1 million in 1998, from $196.9 million in 1997 to $290.0 million in 1998 due
primarily to the substantial increase in development volume during the year as
well as increased capital expenditures.

     Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $171.4 million in 1998
compared to $117.8 million in 1997.  During 1998, the Company raised
approximately $120 million through sales of common and preferred stock.  In
addition, the Company completed a number of debt financing transactions which
resulted in net cash inflows of $122.4 million which is net of prepayment
penalties and other related costs.  In 1998, the Company and the Operating
Partnership also paid 

                                       40
<PAGE>
 
dividends/distributions of $73.5 million, or $2.095 per share/unit representing
three quarters of dividends at $0.52 per share/unit and one quarter at $0.535, a
3.0% increase.

Equity Activity

     During 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a private investor
to sell 2.6 million shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Shares") for $71.5 million. In 1997, the
Company issued 1.6 million shares of Series A Preferred Shares at $27.08 per
share resulting in proceeds of $44.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and
other expenses totaling $0.5 million. The Company used the proceeds to repay on
the line of credit. In April 1998, the Company issued the remaining 1.0 million
shares of Series A Preferred Shares at $27.08 per share resulting in proceeds of
$26.1 million, net of expenses of $0.4 million, which were also used to repay
the line of credit.

     In January 1998, the Company sold 500 shares of Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Shares") for $48.6 million, net
of offering costs of $1.4 million. The Series C Preferred Shares have a
liquidation preference of $100,000 per share and an initial annual dividend rate
of $7,910 per share. If the securities receive an investment grade rating, the
dividend rate will decrease by $250 per share. The Company used the proceeds to
repay outstanding amounts under its lines of credit.

     In July 1998, the Company completed the sale of 1.4 million shares of
common stock (par value of $0.01 per share) under its existing shelf
registration statement at a net purchase price of $32.625 per share. The net
proceeds of approximately $45.4 million have been used to retire outstanding
debt and for working capital needs.

     During 1998, 0.5 million Series B Cumulative Convertible Redeemable
Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Shares") were converted to common shares on
a one-for-one basis.

     During 1998, the Operating Partnership issued approximately 0.3 million
Operating Partnership units valued at $11.8 million in connection with property
acquisitions.

Funds from Operations

     FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, and
other non-recurring items, plus depreciation/amortization of assets unique to
the real estate industry. Depreciation/amortization of assets not unique to the
industry, such as amortization of deferred financing costs and non-real estate
assets, is not added back. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (which,
unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events
in the determination of net income) and should not be considered an alternative
to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company considers FFO
a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily
excludes the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time, and because industry analysts have 

                                       41
<PAGE>
 
accepted it as a performance measure. Comparison of the Company's presentation
of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other
REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the
application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

     The Company's FFO for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was

     These contracts are contingent upon satisfactory completion of construction
and attainment of final certificates of occupancy by the owners. At December 31,
1998, the Company had posted three letters-of-credit totaling $7.7 million in
accordance with three of the contracts to be drawn upon only in the event the
Company defaults on its contractual obligations to purchase the completed
assets.

     Numerous other acquisition and development projects are being pursued by
the Company. The Company anticipates meeting the related funding requirements

     At December 31, 1998, the Company had $306.1 million of unused borrowing
capacity available.  Amounts outstanding under lines of credit averaged $202.9
million and $80.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     The Company anticipates meeting principal repayment requirements through
long-term borrowings, public or private issuances of debt securities or public
or private equity offerings.

     During 1998, the Company completed several debt financing transactions as
follows:

    .  The Company terminated its existing $100 million line of credit and
       entered into two new unsecured lines of credit - a $100 million line
       and a $185 million line - 

                                       45
<PAGE>
 
        with PNC Bank, NationsBank, and U.S. Bank which mature in March 2001.
        The Company repaid the balance outstanding under the $100 million line
        and recognized an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million related to the
        extinguishment of such debt.
        
     .  The Company repaid $110.1 million outstanding on Mortgage Pool One by
        drawing on the new line of credit. The Company recognized an
        extraordinary loss of $4.1 million related to the repayment. The
        Company refinanced part of the draw through a $53 million, ten year
        secured loan with Prudential at a fixed coupon rate of 6.88%. The loan
        is secured by two of the multifamily properties. In conjunction with
        this loan, the Company terminated a $20 million (notional value)
        treasury lock contract at a gain of $0.4 million which will be
        amortized over the term of the new loan.
        
     .  The Company repaid mortgage loans totaling $9.2 million and recognized
        an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million due to extinguishment of debt.
        
     .  In connection with the development of One Superior Place in Chicago,
        Illinois, the Company obtained a $90 million interest-only
        construction loan in July 1998 with interest currently at LIBOR plus
        135 basis points, payable monthly, due July 1, 2001. The loan is
        collateralized by the property.
        
     .  The Company assumed a $31.5 million mortgage loan in connection with 
        the Cronin's Landing acquisition in July 1998. The loan has an effective
        fixed interest rate of 6.9% with principal amortized using a 25-year
        amortization schedule and a final payment due March 2009. A fair value
        adjustment of $2.0 million was recorded upon assumption of this loan.
        
     .  In September 1998, the Company terminated a $50 million (notional
        value) treasury lock contract at a loss of $4.9 million. The treasury
        lock was put in place in the first quarter of 1998 to hedge interest
        rate risk associated with an anticipated 10-year, unsecured financing
        which ultimately did not occur. Therefore, this amount has been
        charged to current year earnings.
        
     .  The Company announced a standby credit facility of up to $300 million
        with Fannie Mae which provides for non-recourse, long-term debt for up
        to fifteen years. The initial draw on this facility was $140 million
        at 6.75% for fifteen years. The bulk of the proceeds were used to
        retire Mortgage Pool Two of $125.2 million and the associated

     .    In February 1999, the Company repaid $7.4 million of mortgage debt.

Other

    Capital Improvements.  In 1998, total capital improvements were $16.9
million, of which $12.4 million, or $871 per apartment unit, was for the core
portfolio.  Approximately 55% of the capital expenditures on the core portfolio
are considered by management to generate net operating income ("NOI") by
increasing revenue or decreasing expenses ("NOI generating"). The remaining
capital expenditures on the core portfolio indirectly influence the Company's
ability to generate NOI ("non-NOI generating").  A summary of core capital
expenditures during 1998 follows:

     Income Taxes. The Company is taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, the Company generally
is not subject to Federal corporate income taxes on net income it distributes
currently to shareholders provided that

                                       47
<PAGE>
 
the Company distributes at least 95% of its taxable income each year. REITs are
subject to certain organizational requirements and asset and income tests in
order to maintain their REIT status. The Property Service Businesses are taxable
corporations, and thus, pay Federal and state income taxes on their net income.
Such taxes amounted to $ 0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million for 1998,
1997 and 1996.

     Effect of Inflation. Substantially all of the leases at the Multifamily
Properties are for a term of one year or less, which enables the Company to seek
increased rents upon renewal or reletting of apartments. Retail tenant leases
provide for pass-through of common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other
operating costs to tenants, which reduces the impact of inflation.

     Year 2000.  In 1997, the Company began a comprehensive review of its year
2000 compliance issues utilizing an overlapping, three-phased approach.  Phase I
involves assessments of building infrastructure and internal computer systems
including both hardware and software to identify possible compliance failures.
Phase II involves vendor compliance and actual testing of hardware and software
applications including significant electronic interfaces.  Phase III involves
identifying remaining company-wide risks and development of contingency plans.
The Company expects to complete Phases I and II of its year 2000 review in mid-
1999.  Phase III is expected to run from March 1999 through December 1999.
Based on the review plan as well as the expected success of remediation efforts
currently underway, management believes the Company has no material risks
related to the ability of its hardware and software to recognize the year 2000
and beyond as valid dates.

     The Company's primary financial and operational software programs are
purchased from outside vendors who have already resolved year 2000 issues.  The
Company has received letters from these vendors indicating that their software
is year 2000 compliant.  The Company is in the process of replacing one computer
system, however, which is not currently year 2000 compliant at an estimated cost
of approximately $1.6 million.  The new system was implemented in January 1999
and is expected to be fully operational in early 1999.  The related cost will be
depreciated over its estimated useful life.

     As part of Phase II, the Company has initiated steps to identify and
contact key vendors whose inability to provide service in the year 2000 could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business operations.  With the
exception of utility services, the Company believes that there are no other
critical suppliers whose inability to provide service would materially affect
business operations.  This is due primarily to the physical nature of the
Company's product as well as the availability of multiple suppliers of property
services.  The Company does not have a contingency plan to address the
possibility that utility services may not be available.  However, management
believes that this is a very unlikely scenario.  Readers are cautioned that
these conclusions involve numerous subjective assumptions and there can be no
assurances that management has adequately identified or addressed all possible
contingencies.

     Excluding the replacement system, the Company's year 2000 compliance
efforts have been primarily conducted with internal staff.   Accordingly, the
costs have been immaterial and are expensed as incurred.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty, Inc. (a Maryland real estate investment trust) and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
years in the three years ended December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
management of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based
on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Charles E. Smith
Residential Realty, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three years ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index to financial
statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.
This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF COMPANY

     Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), formed in June
1993, is a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment
trust ("REIT").  On June 30, 1994, the Company raised equity through an initial
public offering and a private placement (the "Offerings"), and issued debt in a
series of concurrent private financing transactions.

     The proceeds were used to acquire the sole general partnership and a
proportionate limited partnership interest in Charles E. Smith Residential
Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") which is the successor entity to the
CES Group (the "Predecessor"). Simultaneous with the Offerings, the entities
that owned the properties and the related service businesses included in the 
CES Group contributed the properties (the "Predecessor Properties") and the
management, development, leasing, interior construction, engineering, and
financing services business segments of the Predecessor to the Operating
Partnership (or corporations in which the Operating Partnership owns
substantially all of the equity) and received in exchange, directly or
indirectly, units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership. (The
contributing entities and their owners, which include Robert H. Smith and Robert
P. Kogod and their families, and other former owners of indirect interests in
contributed properties, are referred to collectively as the "Minority
Interest"). The contributed assets and liabilities were recorded at historical
net book value which transferred a net carry-over deficit of $244.2 million to
the Operating Partnership.

     The Company, through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, is
engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, and
development of real estate properties, primarily residential multifamily
properties. As of December 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership owned 48
operating multifamily properties containing 19,279 apartment units (the
"Properties"), had approximately 2,100 units under construction at four owned
sites and had agreements to purchase approximately 1,200 units at four
additional sites.  In addition, the Operating Partnership owned two free-
standing community retail shopping centers aggregating 436,000 square feet.
The properties are located in the following metropolitan areas:

     Additionally, the Operating Partnership owned substantially all of the
equity in entities which provide multifamily and retail property management and
leasing, furnished corporate apartments, interior construction and renovation,
building engineering and technical services, and financial advisory services
(collectively, the "Property Service Businesses").


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the
accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and
affiliates. The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership due to the
Company's control as sole general partner. The Company uses the equity method of
accounting for its 99% non-voting interest in the Property Service Businesses.

     All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Rental Property

     The Company recorded the contributed Predecessor Properties at the
Predecessor's historical cost.  Rental property subsequently acquired or
developed is recorded at the Company's actual cost, including interest and real
estate taxes incurred during development.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance,
such as minor replacements and painting, are expensed as incurred.  Major
improvements, such as new HVAC equipment and kitchen/bath renovations, are
capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity or improve the
efficiency of the asset. Depreciation on buildings and improvements is computed
using the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives as follows:

<TABLE> 
<S>                                               <C> 
          Base building                           40 years
          Land improvements                       20 years
          Building improvements                   7 to 20 years
          Tenant improvements                     Shorter of remaining lease term or useful life
          Furniture, fixtures and equipment       5 to 10 years
</TABLE> 

Deferred Charges

    Deferred charges consist primarily of permanent loan fees, which are
amortized to interest expense over the terms of the notes using the effective
interest rate method, and retail lease acquisition costs, which are amortized
over the terms of the related leases.

                                      F-8

Revenue Recognition

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recognized when due
from tenants. The Company requires residential tenants to initially execute a
one-year lease. At the expiration of the lease term, if not renewed, the lease
converts to a month-to-month basis.

     Minimum rental income attributable to retail leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease regardless of when payments are
due. Minimum rental income recognized in excess of payments due was $5.4 million
and $5.0 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and is included in
other assets. The lease agreements contain provisions that provide for
additional rentals based on the tenants' sales volume and reimbursement from the
tenants for their share of real estate taxes and certain common area maintenance
costs. Additional rentals are recognized on the accrual basis.

     The future minimum lease payments to be received by the Company under
noncancelable retail leases as of December 31, 1998, are as follows (in
thousands):

Income Taxes

     Federal income taxes are not provided because the Company qualifies as a
REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a
REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income
to shareholders and meet certain other organizational and operational
requirements.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any year, its income
may be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates.

     The Company's income tax basis in its assets and liabilities was 
$966 million and $879 million, respectively, at December 31, 1998 and 
$702 million and $635 million, respectively, at December 31, 1997.

Minority Interest

     At the initial public offering, the Minority Interest contributed a net
deficit of $244.2 million versus the equity raised by the Company of $201.4
million which created an initial equity deficit of $42.8 million. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, the Minority Interest's share of
this deficit, $24.5 million, and all subsequent Minority Interest activity was
charged to the Company as General Partner of the Operating Partnership until the
deficit was eliminated in early 1997. To the extent that distributions paid
exceeded earnings allocated to the Minority Interest, the excess was charged to
the Company as General Partner of the Operating Partnership. When earnings
allocated to the Minority Interest exceeded distributions, the excess was
credited to the Company's retained earnings. The Minority Interest activity for
the three years ended December 31, 1998 consisted of the following (in
thousands):

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and cash equivalent investments
with original maturities of three months or less.

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions related to the net realizable value of rental property, the
collectibility of accounts and notes receivable, and the outcome of asserted and
unasserted claims that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Management assesses for impairment any property whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows before interest charges is less than its carrying value. The loss is
measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the
property.

Stock-based compensation

     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation programs under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 whereby compensation expense is equal to the
excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over
the exercise price.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     During 1998, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which had no
impact, and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information", which is reflected in Note 14.

     During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which is
effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The standard is not expected
to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements since the
Company has no derivative instruments.

4.  INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO PROPERTY SERVICE BUSINESSES

     The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its 99% non-voting
interest in the Property Service Businesses, which include Smith Realty Company
("SRC"), Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc. ("CES") and Smith Management
Construction, Inc. ("SMC"). These companies provide services which include
property management, leasing, engineering and technical, financing and property
construction and renovation. Under the equity method, the Company's investment
is adjusted for its proportionate share of earnings or losses of the Property
Service Businesses and by dividends received. The Operating Partnership
recognized its 99% interest in the earnings of each of the Property Service
Businesses which aggregated $8.4 million, $7.6 million and $7.8 million for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Operating
Partnership received distributions aggregating $10.5 million, $8.9 million and
$8.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Property Service Businesses provide services to the Company under one-
year agreements which are automatically renewable. Such services are generally
provided at cost (including a proportionate share of total overhead) except
property management and leasing services which are provided at cost plus five
percent. The Property Service Businesses also provide services to certain
partnerships which own multifamily and commercial office properties and have
Messrs. Smith and Kogod as the general partners ("Affiliates"). Such services
are generally provided at cost (including overhead) plus a fee, except for
certain engineering and technical services which are provided at cost and
overhead.

     In November 1997, certain commercial office Affiliates combined into a
single partnership, Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P. ("CESCR").  In
conjunction with the combination, CES and SMC each entered into eight-year
agreements with CESCR to continue providing services under the same terms and
conditions in place prior to the business combination.  In addition, certain
Financing Services personnel of SRC transferred to CESCR.  SRC entered into an
agreement which expired December 31, 1998 to provide Financing Services for
certain properties owned by CESCR. Services were provided by SRC in 1998
utilizing CESCR personnel on a negotiated cost basis.  SRC

                                      F-13

separately negotiated revenue and cost sharing agreements for Financing Services
provided to properties managed but not owned by CESCR.

     In addition to the above, SRC provided administrative services such as
accounting, systems and human resources services to the Operating Partnership
and Affiliates at cost and overhead in accordance with cost and executive
sharing agreements. In management's opinion, the allocation methods provide
reasonable estimates of the costs that would have been incurred had the services
been provided by the Operating Partnership.

Mortgage Pools

     The $110.1 million principal balance of Mortgage Pool One was partially
repaid on February 28, 1998, in conjunction with the sale of Oxford Manor, and
fully repaid on March 31, 1998.  An extraordinary loss of $4.1 million was
recognized which consisted of a $2.9 million yield maintenance premium and a
$1.2 million non-cash write-off of unamortized loan fees.

     The $125.2 million principal balance of Mortgage Pool Two was repaid on
October 31, 1998. An  extraordinary loss of $11.7 million was recognized
consisting of  a $9.7 million prepayment penalty and a $2.0 million non-cash
write-off of unamortized loan fees.

     The loan for Mortgage Pool Three is interest only, at a fixed rate of 7.99%
paid monthly, through June 30, 1999, at which time principal amortization begins
using a 25-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due June 30, 2009.
The loan requires a capital and repair escrow. Certain Predecessor partners
guaranteed $42 million of the mortgage loan secured by Mortgage Pool Three.

     During 1998, the Company obtained a $53 million, ten year secured loan from
Prudential at a fixed coupon rate of 6.88%.  The loan is secured by two of the
multifamily properties with an aggregate book value of $71.7 million.  In
conjunction with this loan, the Company terminated a $20 million (notional
value) treasury lock contract at a gain of $0.4 million which will be amortized
over the term of the new loan.

     The Company announced  a standby credit facility in 1998 of up to $300
million with Fannie Mae which provides for non-recourse, long-term debt for up
to fifteen years.  The initial draw on this facility was $140 million at 6.75%
for fifteen years.  The bulk of the proceeds were used to retire Mortgage Pool
Two of $125.2 million and the associated prepayment penalty of $9.7 million.
Terms and rates of subsequent draws on this facility will be determined at the
time of use.  Closing of the facility is expected during the second quarter of
1999.

Individual Mortgages

      Individual mortgages have fixed interest rates ranging from 6.3% to 9.0%.

      During 1998, in connection with the Cronin's Landing acquisition, the
Company assumed a $31.5 million mortgage loan which was adjusted to its fair
value of $33.5 million.  The loan has  an effective fixed interest rate of 6.9%
with principal amortized using a 25-year amortization schedule and a final
payment due March 2009.

     During 1998, the Company also obtained a $38.3 million mortgage on the
Crystal House properties at a fixed interest rate of 6.29% and a $49.3 million
mortgage on the Skyline Towers property at a fixed interest rate of 6.45%.  The
Crystal House loan is interest only through December 2008, at which time
principal amortization begins using a 30-year amortization schedule with a

                                      F-17
<PAGE>
 
balloon payment due December 30, 2010.  The Skyline loan is interest only
through December 2008, at which time principal amortization begins using a 30-
year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due December 10, 2010.  The
Company also refinanced mortgages on 2000 Commonwealth and Connecticut Heights
in 1998.

     In September, 1998, the Company terminated a $50 million (notional value)
treasury lock contract at a loss of $4.9 million.  The treasury lock was put in
place in the first quarter of 1998 to hedge interest rate risk associated with
an anticipated 10-year, unsecured financing which ultimately did not occur.
Therefore, this amount has been charged to current year earnings.

     In September 1996, the outstanding loan balance of $40.6 million for
Mortgage Pool Four was refinanced for a new loan amount of $41 million.  The
ground lessor (see Note 8) has been allocated $9.9 million of the refinanced
loan for which the Operating Partnership is contingently liable. The remaining
$31.1 million of debt is allocated to the Operating Partnership.  The loan bears
interest at a fixed rate of 8.24%, paid monthly through August, 2004, at which
time principal amortization begins, using a 30-year amortization schedule with a
final payment due August 1, 2009.

Lines of Credit

     The Company terminated its $100 million line of credit in 1998 and entered
into two new  unsecured lines of credit -- a $100 million line and a $185
million line -- with PNC Bank, NationsBank, and U.S. Bank, as agents, which
mature in March 2001.  Draws upon the new lines are subject to certain
unencumbered asset requirements and bear interest at a selected London Interbank
Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 75 to 120 basis points based on the leverage ratio of
the Company.  As of December 31, 1998, the weighted average interest rate on
outstanding draws was 6.22%.  If the Company receives an investment grade rating
on its unsecured debt, the interest rate will decrease to 60 to 90 basis points
over LIBOR based on the rating.  The Company pays a fee of 0.20% on the full
amount available under the line of credit.  The line of credit agreements
contain certain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum equity
value, debt to equity ratios and debt service  coverage requirements.  The
maximum amounts outstanding during 1998 and 1997 were $251.5 million and $97.0
million, respectively.

     The Company also has an $83 million acquisition credit facility which
allows for debt maturities up through July 2004.  The line of credit provides
for an interest rate that is fixed at the time of each borrowing at 150 basis
points over 10-year Treasury Bills and is cross-collateralized with Mortgage
Pool Three.  Borrowings outstanding of $30 million at December 31, 1998 bear
interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 7.27% and are collateralized by two
Properties with an aggregate book value of $30.5 million.  The agreement
contains certain restrictive covenants including a limit on debt to asset value
and maintenance of debt service coverage ratios.

Construction Loans

     In October 1997, the Company obtained a variable rate, unsecured
construction loan of $46.3 million to finance the construction of an acquired
development property.  The loan is recourse to the Operating Partnership, bears
interest at LIBOR plus 130 basis point (6.85% at December 31, 1998), and matures
in October 2000 with three six-month extension options based on certain
conditions. The loan balance at December 31, 1998 was $31.6 million.

     During 1998, the Company obtained a $90 million interest-only construction
loan in connection with the development of One Superior Place in Chicago,
Illinois, with interest currently at LIBOR plus 135 basis points (6.93% at
December 31, 1998), payable monthly, due July 1, 2001. At the Company's option,
maturity may be extended for two one-year periods based on certain conditions.
The loan is collateralized by the property, which has a net book value of
$54.8 million, and is recourse to the Operating Partnership.  The loan balance 
at December 31, 1998 was $31.6 million.

     The scheduled principal payments for all mortgage loans and notes payable

7.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed an equity offering
and issued 3.1 million shares of common stock at $28.375 per share totaling
$82.9 million, net of underwriting discount and other expenses totaling
$5.2 million.  Net proceeds were used to repay $72.1 million of notes payable 
and $9 million of mortgage debt and to fund property acquisitions.

          In May 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Security
Capital Preferred Growth Inc. ("Security Capital") to sell 2.6 million shares of
Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred
Shares"), $0.01 par value (liquidation preference of $27.08 per share), at
$27.08 per share for a total of $71.5 million.  During 1997, the Company sold
1.6 million Series A Preferred Shares for proceeds of $44.5 million, net of 
$0.5 million in offering costs. In April 1998, the Company sold the remaining
1.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Shares for $26.1 million, which is net
of offering costs of $0.4 million.


                                      F-19
<PAGE>
 
      Series A Preferred Shareholders have certain voting, dividend and
liquidation preferences over the common shareholders.  Dividends are cumulative
from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly at the greater of the
rate declared on the common shares or the annual rate of $2.02 per share.  The
Series A Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to May 15, 2003.  On or after
May 15, 2003, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Series A Preferred
Shares for cash at a redemption price of $27.08 per share, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends.  Under certain circumstances, the Company may elect to make
such redemption with common stock at the then market price of the common stock.
On or after January 31, 1999, Security Capital may convert the Series A
Preferred Shares into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis subject to
certain limitations.  Prior to January 31, 1999, the Series A Preferred Shares
will not be convertible unless the Company undergoes a change in control, as
defined by the agreement, or fails to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes.

     In October 1997, the Company sold 1.45 million shares of common stock and
1.22 million shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock ("Series B Preferred Shares"), $0.01 par value, to the Prudential
Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") for approximately $76 million in
connection with a property acquisition.  During 1998, 0.5 million shares of
Series B Preferred Shares were converted to common shares on a one-for-one
basis.

     Series B Preferred Shareholders have certain voting, dividend and
liquidation preferences over the common shareholders.  The Series B Preferred
Shares have a liquidation preference of $28.50 per share.  Dividends are
cumulative and are payable quarterly at the greater of the rate declared on the
shares of common stock of the Company or the annual rate of $2.02 per share.
Prudential may convert the Series B Preferred Shares into shares of common stock
on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and limitations related
to its ownership of common stock of the Company.  The Company may redeem Series
B Preferred Shares at any time for common shares, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends.

     In January 1998, the Company sold 500 shares of Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Shares"), $0.01 par value,  for
$48.6 million, net of offering costs of $1.4 million.  The Company amended the
Articles of Incorporation to designate and establish the rights and privileges
of the Series C Preferred Shareholders which include certain voting, dividend
and liquidation preferences over the common shareholders. The Series C Preferred
Shares have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share and an initial annual
dividend rate of $7,910 per share. If the securities receive an investment grade
rating, the dividend rate will decrease by $250 per share. Dividends are
cumulative and are payable quarterly.  The Company may redeem Series C Preferred
Shares after February 1, 2028, at the liquidation price plus accrued dividends.

     In July 1998, the Company completed the sale of 1.4 million shares of
common stock (par value of $0.01 per share) under its existing shelf
registration statement at a net purchase price of $32.625 per share.  The net
proceeds of approximately $45.4 million have been used to retire outstanding
debt and for working capital needs.

     In December 1998, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the
"Rights Plan") in which certain stock purchase rights were granted as a
distribution to holders of common stock.  The Rights allow the holder to
purchase preferred stock only if a person or group becomes the owner of 15% or
more of the common stock or announces an offer to acquire 15% or more of the
common stock.  The Rights expire on December 13, 2008.

     During 1998, the Operating Partnership issued approximately 0.3 million
Operating Partnership units valued at $11.8 million in connection with property
acquisitions.

     Operating Partnership units held by the Minority Interest may be redeemed
at the Unitholders' sole discretion. At the option of the Company, such
redemption may be made for cash at the then fair value of the Company's stock,
or for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis which does
not have a dilutive effect. During 1998 and 1997, approximately 1.3 million and
0.4 million units, respectively, were redeemed for shares of common stock.
Operating Partnership units held by the Minority Interest as of December 31,
1998 and 1997 were 13.3 million and 14.2 million, respectively.

     As of December 31, 1998, approximately 17.3 million shares of the Company's
authorized common stock had been reserved for redemption of Operating
Partnership units and 1.0 million shares were reserved under the Company's
Dividend and Distribution Investment and Share Purchase Plan, respectively.


8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

     As of December 31, 1998, the Company had executed four contracts to
purchase to-be-constructed multifamily properties totaling approximately 1,200
apartment units.  The maximum aggregate purchase price totals $151 million with
projected closing dates between July 2000 and May 2001.
 
     These contracts are contingent upon satisfactory completion of construction
and attainment of final certificates of occupancy by the owners.  At December
31, 1998, the Company had posted three letters-of-credit totaling $ 7.7 million
in accordance with three of the contracts to be drawn upon only if the Company
defaults on its contractual obligations to purchase the completed assets.

Land Leases

     Eight of the Properties have ground leases expiring at various dates
between December 2032 and April 2067.  (See Note 16 for related subsequent
event.)  Generally, each ground lease provides for a nominal annual rental and
an additional rental calculated from the results of Property operations after
capital expenditures.

                                      F-21
<PAGE>
 
     The base rental expense to the Company under the ground leases was
$1.7 million for 1998 and $0.5 million for each of the years ended 
December 31, 1997 and 1996. The additional rental expense to the Company under
the ground leases was $4.1 million, $3.2 million and $2.6 million for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At the expiration of the
ground leases, the land and all of the improvements thereon will revert to the
land owner. In most cases, the leases are subordinated to the mortgage debt on
the related rental property.

     The future nominal base annual rentals as of December 31, 1998 for the
ground leases are as follows (in thousands):

Net Profits Interest

    An unaffiliated third party has a 5.1% interest in the net profits of one of
the Properties acquired in 1997. Net profit is calculated based on the results
of Property operations less capital expenditures.  (See Note 16 for related
subsequent event).

Litigation

    The Company and/or the Property Service Businesses are presently subject to
legal actions or claims for damages that arise in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management and counsel to the Company, the ultimate
outcome of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

401 (k)  Retirement Plan

    Substantially all of the personnel employed at the Properties are eligible
and participate in the Charles E. Smith 401 (k)  Retirement Plan, a defined
contribution, tax-qualified savings  plan (the "Plan"). These personnel are
employed by Smith Employment Services, L.P. ("Employment Services"), a limited
partnership owned by the Operating Partnership, which is the primary employer in
the Plan. Previously, such employees were participants in the Charles E. Smith
Building Employees Retirement Plan which was merged into the Plan effective 
July 1, 1998. Employment Services generally contributes 4% of employee-qualified
earnings. The total contributions were $0.2 million in 1998, $ 0.4 million in
1997, and $ 0.3 million in 1996. Employees of the Property Service Businesses
are also covered by the Plan.

9.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The Company conducts business with entities in which Messrs. Smith and Kogod
exercise control.  In each case, the Company's Board of Directors reviews the
transaction and obtains, as required, independent assurance as to the arms-
length nature of the terms.  The following is a description of these
transactions.

 . For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company paid
  approximately $2.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively,  in
  payroll reimbursements to an entity controlled by Messrs. Smith and Kogod for
  efforts on development properties and potential development sites.  The 
  increase in 1998 reflects the higher level of activity associated with 
  expanding the Company's development pipeline during the year.

 . In January, 1998, the Company purchased a multifamily property (Tunlaw Park)
  for $6.7 million from a partnership in which Messrs. Smith and Kogod had
  ownership interests.

 . In connection with the development of Springfield Station, a contract was
  executed with an entity controlled by Messrs. Smith and Kogod to manage the
  construction of the apartments at a fee of 4% of hard construction costs.
  Construction management fees were $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the years
  ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

 . In November 1998, the Company purchased land for future development for 
  $5.4 million from a partnership in which Messrs. Smith and Kogod had ownership
  interests.

 . Prior to December 1997, the two retail properties leased health club
  facilities to entities controlled by Messrs. Smith and Kogod. Rental income
  earned under these leases approximated $5.0 million for each of the years
  ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.  In December 1997, the health clubs were
  sold.  In conjunction with that sale, the Company agreed to restructure the
  leases by reducing base rent on the Worldgate lease and extending the terms
  of both leases for ten years, through 2025, in exchange for a $2.3 million
  cash payment which is amortized over the lives of the revised leases.
  


10.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments. Based on the borrowing rates
currently available to the Operating Partnership for mortgages with similar
terms and remaining maturities, the fair value of mortgages payable was
approximately $619 million and $527 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The fair values of lines of credit and construction loans
approximate the carrying values.

11.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, basic earnings per
common share is computed based on 16.3 million, 13.2 million and 9.9 million
weighted average shares outstanding during the year, respectively, and diluted
earnings per common share is computed based on 16.5 million, 13.4 million, and
9.9 million weighted average shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the
assumed conversion of dilutive securities, respectively.  In 1998, the per-share
impact of the extraordinary item was $0.54 per common share (basic and diluted).

     Weighted average Operating Partnership units not held by the Company were
13.9 million, 13.5 million and 12.0 million units for the years ended 
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     A reconciliation of income (before extraordinary item) and shares used to
calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for 1998 and 1997 follows

     Options to purchase 771,750 shares of common stock were not included in the

of the common shares. All convertible preferred shares were also excluded from
the calculation of diluted earnings per share since the preferred dividends paid
per share exceeded basic earnings per share.

12.  INCENTIVE PLANS

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its
plans.  Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-
based compensation plans other than for restricted stock and performance-based
awards.  Had compensation cost for the Company's other stock option plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the
methodology prescribed under SFAS 123, the Operating Partnership's net income
would have been reduced by approximately $499,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1998 ($0.02 per basic and diluted common share), $65,000 (less than
$0.01 per basic and diluted common share) for the year ended December 31, 1997
and $8,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The fair value of options
granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 is estimated at approximately $305,000,
$2,111,000 and $23,000, respectively, based on the date of grant using the 
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used:

                             1998      1997      1996

Option Plans

     The Company maintains an employee stock and unit option plan designed for
executive officers and other key employees of the Company, the Operating
Partnership and the Property Service Businesses. The Company also maintains a
Director's stock option plan which provides for automatic grants of vested
options, exercisable for 5,000 shares of common stock, to newly appointed non-
employee directors. The plans authorize the issuance of up to 3,150,000 shares
of common stock and/or units pursuant to options granted. Options outstanding
under both plans are as follows:

/(1)/ Weighted average exercise price is $27
/(2)/ Range of exercise prices is $24-$35

     The exercise price of options granted under the plans may not be less than
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Payment for
shares and/or units granted under the plans may be made either in cash, or, if
permitted by the option agreement, by exchanging shares of common stock of the
Company having a fair market value equal to the option exercise price. The
weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding as of
December 31, 1998 was 7.7 years.

     Options granted under the employee plan have a maximum term of ten years
and vest generally in three to five equal annual installments beginning on the
first anniversary of the date of grant. Generally, options terminate three
months after the optionee's termination of employment with the Company. The
Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may provide, however,
that an option may be exercised over a longer period following termination of
employment, but in no event beyond the expiration date of the option.

Restricted Stock and Unit Plan

     The Company maintains a restricted stock and unit plan for executive
officers and other key employees of the Company, the Operating Partnership and
the Property Service Businesses.  Messrs. Smith and Kogod are not eligible to
participate under the plan. A maximum of 300,000 shares of common stock and/or
units may be issued under the plan.  Restricted shares and/or units that have
not vested at the time of an employee's termination of employment with the
Company will be forfeited, except where such termination occurs by reason of
death or disability. Any restricted shares and/or units forfeited pursuant to
the vesting provisions of the plan will again be available for award under the
plan. During 1997, 24,000 grants were awarded and 20,700 units vested. During
1996, 7,500 grants were canceled and 23,750 units vested. During 1995, 23,750
units vested. During 1994, 95,000 grants were awarded. For the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, compensation expense relating to the plan was
$0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, based on the market
value of the Company's stock at the date of grant.

14.  SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", during 1998.  SFAS No. 131 established
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to stockholders.  It also established standards

                                      F-27
<PAGE>
 
for related disclosures about products and services, and geographic areas.
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.

Property Segments

     The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of
multifamily residential real estate.  As such, the residential rental properties
constitute the three primary operating segments --Core, Acquisition and
Development portfolios -- depending upon the maturity of each property.  Core
consists of all multifamily properties which have been owned more than one full
calendar year. Therefore, the 1998 Core represents properties owned as of
December 31, 1996.  Acquisition consists of purchased properties which have not
yet reflected one full calendar year of operations. Development consists of
properties which the Company has constructed or is in the process of
constructing which have not yet had a full calendar year of stabilized operating
results.  On the first of January each year, Acquisition and Development
properties that meet the one year requirements are transferred to the Core
portfolio.

     The Company's fourth property segment is the Retail portfolio which
consists of the two free-standing retail properties.

     The Company evaluates performance for the Property Segments based on Net
Operating Income ("NOI") which is the difference between Rental Revenue and
Operating Expenses (which primarily excludes interest expense, general and
administrative costs and depreciation.)

Property Service Business Segments

     The Company also evaluates the separate financial information of its equity
investment in the Property Service Businesses.  Therefore, the Company has three
additional segments based on service type -- Multifamily and Retail Management,
Engineering and Technical Services and Interior Construction and Renovation.
The Company evaluates performance for the Property Service Business segments
based on Funds from Operations ("FFO").  Funds from Operations is defined under
the revised definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sale of property, plus depreciation/amortization of assets
unique to the real estate industry.  Depreciation/amortization of assets not
unique to the industry, such as amortization of deferred financing costs and
non-real estate assets, is not added back.

     The accounting policies for all seven segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

classified as (i) 95,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 45,000 shares of
Excess Common Stock, and (iii) 5,000,000 unclassified shares.

shares of Common Stock of the Corporation as Preferred Stock, with the
preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms and conditions of
redemption, and other characteristics to be determined only at the time of
issuance and sale of such Preferred Stock by the adoption of appropriate
Articles Supplementary by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2-208 of
the Code, such Articles Supplementary to be in such form as the officers of the
Corporation may deem necessary or advisable.

Section 3.       Dividends and Distributions.
                 --------------------------- 

          (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any
Senior Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) of the Corporation, the holders of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for payment of
dividends, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after first
issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series D Preferred Stock, in an
amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a)
$10.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, one
thousand (1,000) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and
one thousand (1,000) times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of
all non-cash dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend payable in
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or a subdivision of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise)) declared on the
Common Stock, since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first
issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series D Preferred Stock.  In
the event the Corporation shall at any time after December 2, 1998 (the "Rights
Declaration Date") (i) declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii)
combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in
each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock
were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding
sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event.

     (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series
D Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it
declares a dividend or distribution on any Common Stock (other than a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or
distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period
between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series D Preferred
Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date.

     (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares
of Series D Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next
preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock, unless
the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date set for the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall
begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of
issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date
for the determination of holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock entitled
to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative
from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.  Accrued but unpaid dividends shall
not bear interest.  Dividends paid on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock in
an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and
payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis
among all such shares at the time outstanding.  The Board of Directors may fix a
record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series D Preferred
Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared
thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for the payment thereof.

Section 4.   Voting Rights.  The holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall
             -------------                                    
have the following voting rights:

     (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each
share of Series D Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one
thousand (1,000) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of
the Corporation.  In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the
Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii)
combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in
each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     (B) Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other stock of
the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     (C) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall
have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to
the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth
herein) for taking any corporate action.

Section 5.  Certain Restrictions.
            -------------------- 

     (A) Whenever dividends or distributions payable on the Series D Preferred
Stock as provided in Section 3 are not paid, thereafter and until such dividends
and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series D Preferred
Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

         (i) declare or pay dividends on, or make any other distributions on, or
     redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
     stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
     dissolution or winding up) to the Series D Preferred Stock; or

         (ii) declare or pay dividends on, or make any other distributions on,
     any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (the "Parity Shares") with the
     Series D Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series D
     Preferred Stock and all such Parity Shares on which dividends are payable
     in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares
     are then entitled; or

         (iii)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares
     of any Parity Shares, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem,
     purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such Parity Shares in exchange
     for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
     dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series D
     Preferred Stock; or

         (iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
     shares of Series D Preferred Stock, or any Parity Shares, except in
     accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as
     determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon
     such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective
     annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the
     respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in
     fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

     (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to
purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the
Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 5,
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
            -------------------------------------- 

     (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of
stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Series D Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders
of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have received (i) $108,000 per
share, plus (ii) any unpaid dividends and distributions accrued and unpaid
thereon, whether or not 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series D Junior Liquidation
Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series D Junior
Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders
of Series D Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of
Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment")
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series D Junior Liquidation
Preference by (ii) 1,000 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph
(C) below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and
recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii)
immediately above as so adjusted being referred to as the "Adjustment Number").
Following the payment of the full amount of the Series D Junior Liquidation
Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of
Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series D
Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their
ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the
ratio of the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Series D
Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

          (B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets
     available to permit payment in full of the Series D Junior Liquidation
     Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred
     stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock,
     then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of
     such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation
     preferences. In the event, however, that there are sufficient assets
     available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such
     remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common
     Stock.

          (C) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights
     Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares
     of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii)
     combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then
     in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such
     event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction
     the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
     shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
     event.

     Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, Etc.  In case the Corporation shall 
                 ---------------------------                                
enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which
the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
changed into such stock or securities, cash and/or any other property in an
amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth)
equal to one thousand (1,000) times the aggregate amount of stock, securities,
cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which
or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event
the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare
any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide
the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the
preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock (as previously adjusted, if any prior adjustment has occurred)
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

      Section 8.  Redemption at the Option of the Board of Directors.  The
                  --------------------------------------------------      
outstanding shares of Series 

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
D Preferred Stock may be redeemed as a whole, but not in part, at any time, or
from time to time, at the option of the Board of Directors, at a cash price per
share equal to 105 percent of (i) the product of the Adjustment Number times the
Average Market Value (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock,
plus (ii) all dividends which on the redemption date are payable on the shares
to be redeemed and have not been paid, earned or declared and a sum sufficient
for the payment thereof set apart, without interest. The "Average Market Value"
is the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock during the 30 day
period immediately preceding the date before the redemption date on the
Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange Listed Stocks, or, if such stock is
not quoted on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if such
stock is not listed on such Exchange, on the principal United States securities
exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on
which such stock is listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such
exchange, the average of the closing sale prices with respect to a share of
Common Stock during such 30 day period, as quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or any system then in use,
or if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common
Stock as determined by the Board in good faith.

     Section 9.  Shares To Be Retired.  Any shares of Series D Preferred Stock
                 --------------------                                         
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.  All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock of the Corporation and may be reissued as part of a new series
of preferred stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth
herein, or reclassified as Common Stock or other stock of the Corporation as
provided in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation.

     Section 10.    Ranking.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
                    -------                                                   
contrary, the Series D Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of
the Corporation's preferred stock as to voting rights, the payment of dividends
and the distribution of assets in liquidation, unless the terms of any such
series shall provide otherwise.

     Section 11.    Amendment.  The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation
                    ---------                                                   
shall not be further amended, nor shall an Articles Supplementary be filed or
amended, in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Series D Preferred Stock so as to affect
them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a class.

     Section 11.    Fractional Shares.  Series D Preferred Stock may be issued
                    -----------------                                         
in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holders, in proportion to such
holders' fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends,
participate in distributions and have the benefit of all other rights of holders
of Series D Preferred Stock.

                           SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT TO
                          FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED
                       AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                                      OF
                   CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY L.P.


     THIS SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT TO FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY L.P. (this
"Seventeenth Amendment"), dated as of December 2, 1998, is entered into by
Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as general
partner (the "General Partner") of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the
"Partnership"), for itself and on behalf of the limited partners of the
Partnership.

     WHEREAS, the General Partner has entered into a Rights Agreement dated as
of December 4, 1998 between the General Partner and First Union National Bank,
as rights agent (the "Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the General Partner
has agreed to issue to the holder of its shares of common stock Rights to
purchase shares of a newly created series of capital stock, designated Series D
Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") upon and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.2B of the Partnership Agreement, the
Partnership will issue to the General Partner rights to purchase a new class of
Units, to be entitled "Series D Junior Participating Preferred Units" from time
to time concurrently with the issuance by the General Partner from time to time
of a like number Series D Preferred Stock purchase rights pursuant to the Rights
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to the General Partner pursuant
to Section 14.1B of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner desires to
amend the Partnership Agreement (i) to establish a new class of Units, to be
entitled Series D Junior Participating Preferred Units (the "Series D Preferred
Units"), and to set forth the designations, rights, powers, preferences and
duties of such Series D Preferred Units, which are substantially the same as
those of the Series D Preferred Stock, pursuant to Section 4.2A of the
Partnership Agreement; (ii) to protect the economic interests of limited
partners in the Partnership to the extent provided herein upon exercise by
holders of certain rights to purchase Series D Preferred Stock granted under the
Rights Agreement and Articles Supplementary relating to such preferred stock;
and (iii) to make certain other changes to the Partnership Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are
acknowledged, the General Partner hereby amends the Partnership Agreement, as
follows:

     1.   Article 1 of the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to include the
definition entitled "Exercise Percentage" and to amend and restate the
definition of "REIT Shares Amount" in its entirety as follows:

         "Exercise Percentage" has the meaning set forth in Section 4.4.
          -------------------                                           

         "REIT Shares Amount" means a number of REIT Shares equal to the product
          ------------------                                                    
of the 

                                      E-3
<PAGE>
 
number of Common Units offered for redemption by a Redeeming Partner, multiplied
by the Conversion Factor; provided that in the event the General Partner issues
to all holders of REIT Shares rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities entitling the shareholders to subscribe for or purchase
REIT Shares, or any other securities or property (collectively, the "rights")
and if the Partnership does not issue to all of the holders of Common Units at
such time (other than the General Partner) corresponding rights to subscribe for
or purchase Common Units or other securities or property corresponding to the
securities or property covered by the rights granted by the General Partner,
then the REIT Shares Amount shall also include such rights that a holder of that
number of REIT Shares would be entitled to receive had it owned such REIT Shares
at the time such rights were issued, provided further that, if the rights issued
by the General Partner are issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan (or
other arrangement having the same objective and substantially the same effect),
then the REIT Shares Amount shall include only such rights to the extent that
such rights have not been exercised by the holders thereof (and have not
otherwise terminated or been eliminated).

     2.   Section 4.2 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended to add
after Section 4.2.F the following section:

          G.   Series D Preferred Units.  Under the authority granted to it by
               ------------------------                                       
Section 4.2.A. hereof, the General Partner hereby establishes an additional
class of Partnership Units entitled "Series D Junior Participating Preferred
Units" (the "Series D Preferred Units"). Series D Preferred Units shall have the
designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties as set forth in Exhibit I
                                                                     ---------
hereto.

     3.   Section 4.4 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

          If the General Partner acquires any Class A Units using the proceeds
from any exercise of any rights (as defined in the definition of REIT Shares
Amount) issued under a stockholder rights plan (or other arrangement having the
same objective and substantially the same effect), then (a) the holders of
Common Units at such time (other than the General Partner) as a group shall have
the right to acquire, at the same price per Class A Unit paid by the General
Partner, a total number of additional Class A Units equal to the product of (i)
the total number of Common Units held by such holders, multiplied by (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Units issued to the
General Partner as a result of the exercise of such rights and the denominator
of which is the total number of Class A Units held by the General Partner
immediately prior to such issuance (which fraction is referred to as the
"Exercise Percentage"), and (b) each holder of a Class A Unit or Class B Unit at
such time shall have the right to acquire, at the same price per Class A Unit
paid by the General Partner, a number of Class A Units equal to the product of
(iii) the aggregate number of Common Units that such holder holds at such time,
multiplied by (iv) the Exercise Percentage.  (Thus, for example, if the General
Partner were to acquire 2,000,000 Class A Units at $5 per Unit from the proceeds
of the exercise of outstanding rights issued under a stockholder rights plan at
a time when the General Partner already owned 8,000,000 Class A Units out of a
total of 12,000,000 outstanding Common Units (which would represent a 25%
increase in the number of Class A Units held by the General Partner), then the
other holders of Common Units as a group would have the right to purchase a
total of 1,000,000 Class A Units at $5 per Class A Unit, and each holder of a
Class A Unit or Class B Unit 
<PAGE>
 
would be entitled to purchase his proportionate share of such Class A Units, or
 .25 Class A Units for each Class A Unit or Class B Unit then held by such
holder.) In the event Partnership Units or Partnership Interests other than
Class A Units (including, without limitation, Series D Preferred Units) are
issued to the General Partner using proceeds of any exercise of rights issued
under a stockholder rights plan (or other arrangement), the holders of Common
Units shall be granted the right to acquire such other Partnership Units or
Partnership Interests at the same price as paid by the General Partner and in
such amounts as would be comparable to their rights had Class A Units been
issued instead. The General Partner shall provide prompt written notice to the
holders of Common Units of its acquisition of Class A Units (or other
Partnership Units or Partnership Interests) using such proceeds and shall
establish in good faith such procedures as it deems appropriate (including,
without limitation, procedures to eliminate the issuance of fractional
Partnership Units if the General Partner deems appropriate) to effectuate the
rights of the holders of Common Units under the preceding provisions of this
Section 4.4. Except to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant
to this Section 4.4 or another agreement, no person shall have any preemptive,
preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) additional Capital
Contributions or loans to the Partnership; or (ii) issuance or sale of any
Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests.

     4.   Exhibits to Partnership Agreement.
          ---------------------------------

Partner.  Except as modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Partnership
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, which terms and conditions the

                                   EXHIBIT I

           DESIGNATION OF THE PREFERENCES AND OTHER RIGHTS, VOTING 
          POWERS, RESTRICTIONS, LIMITATIONS AS TO SERIES D PREFERRED 
                                     UNITS

     The Series D Preferred Units shall have the following designations,
preferences, rights, powers and duties:

     (1) Certain Defined Terms.  The following capitalized terms used in this
         ---------------------                                               
Exhibit I shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
- ---------                                                    

     "Quarterly Distribution Payment Date" means shall mean the 15th day (or if
such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day thereafter) of February,
May, August and November of each year, commencing February 15, 1999.

     "Parity Units" has the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 3(A).

     (2)    Distributions.
            ------------- 

          (A) The General Partner, in its capacity as the holder of the then
outstanding Series D Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive out of funds
legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the General Partner,
quarterly distributions payable in cash on the Quarterly Distribution Payment
Date at the rate per Series D Preferred Unit equal to the greater of (a) $10.00
or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, one
thousand (1,000) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash distributions,
and one thousand (1,000) times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind)
of all non-cash or other distributions (other than a distribution payable in
Class A Units or Class B Units of the General Partner, or a subdivision of the
outstanding Class A Units or Class B Units (by reclassification or otherwise))
declared on such Class A or Class B Units, since the immediately preceding
Quarterly Distribution Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly
Distribution Payment Date, since the first issuance of any Series D Preferred
Units or a fraction thereof.  In the event the General Partner shall at any time
after December 2, 1998 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare or pay any
distribution on Class A Units or Class B Units payable in Class A Units or Class
B Units, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Class A Units or Class B Units, or (iii)
combine the outstanding Class A Units or Class B Units into a smaller number of
units, then in each such case the amount to which holders of Series D Preferred
Units were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of Common Units outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common
Units that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          (B) The General Partner shall declare a distribution on the Series D
Preferred Units as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares
a distribution on any Common Units (other than a distribution payable in Common
Units); provided that, in the event no distribution shall have been declared on
the Common Units during the period between any Quarterly Distribution Payment
Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Distribution Payment Date, a distribution
of $10.00 per unit on the Series D Preferred Units shall nevertheless be payable
on such subsequent Quarterly Distribution Payment Date.

                                      I-1
<PAGE>
 
          (C) Distributions shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding Series D Preferred Units from the Quarterly Distribution Payment
Date next preceding the date of issue of such Series D Preferred Units, unless
the date of issue of such units is prior to the record date set for the first
Quarterly Distribution Payment Date, in which case distributions on such units
shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such units, or unless the date
of issue is a Quarterly Distribution Payment Date or is a date after the record
date for the determination of holders of Series D Preferred Units entitled to
receive a quarterly distribution and before such Quarterly Distribution Payment
Date, in either of which events such distributions shall begin to accrue and be
cumulative from such Quarterly Distribution Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid
distributions shall not bear interest. Distributions paid on the Series D
Preferred Units in an amount less than the total amount of such distributions at
the time accrued and payable on such units shall be allocated pro rata on a 
unit-by-unit basis among all such units at the time outstanding. The Board of
Directors of the General Partner may fix a record date for the determination of
holders of Series D Preferred Units entitled to receive payment of a
distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

     (3)   Certain Restrictions.
           -------------------- 

          (A) Whenever distributions payable on the Series D Preferred Units as
provided in Section (2) are not paid, thereafter and until such distributions,
whether or not declared, on Series D Preferred Units outstanding shall have been
paid in full, the Partnership shall not:

              (i)   declare or pay distributions on, or redeem or purchase or
otherwise acquire for consideration any units ranking junior (either as to
distributions or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series D
Preferred Units; or

              (ii)  declare or pay distributions on any units ranking on a
parity (either as to distributions or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up) (the "Parity Units") with the Series D Preferred Units, except distributions
paid ratably on the Series D Preferred Units and all such Parity Units on which
distributions are payable in proportion to the total amounts to which the
holders of all such units are then entitled; or

              (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any Parity Units, provided that the Partnership may at any time redeem, purchase
or otherwise acquire any such Parity Units in exchange for any units ranking
junior (either as to distributions or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding
up) to the Series D Preferred Units; or

              (iv)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any Series D Preferred Units, or any Parity Units, except in accordance with a
purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of
Directors of the General Partner) to all holders of such units upon such terms
as the Board of Directors of the General Partner, after consideration of the
respective annual distribution rates and other relative rights and preferences
of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result
in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

                                      I-2
<PAGE>
 
               (B) The General Partner shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any units of the
Partnership unless the

Partnership could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 3, purchase or otherwise
acquire such units at such time and in such manner.

     (4)   Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
           -------------------------------------- 

          (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or
winding up of the Partnership, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
units ranking junior (either as to distributions or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series D Preferred Units unless, prior
thereto, the holders of Series D Preferred Units shall have received (i)
$108,000 per Unit, plus (ii) any unpaid distributions accrued and unpaid
thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series D
Junior Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the
Series D Junior Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be
made to the holders of Series D Preferred Units unless, prior thereto, the
holders of Common Units shall have received an amount per unit (the "Common
Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series D Junior
Liquidation Preference by (ii) 1,000 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in
subparagraph (C) below to reflect such events as unit splits, unit distributions
and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Units) (such number in clause
(ii) immediately above as so adjusted being referred to as the "Adjustment
Number"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series D Junior
Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding
Series D Preferred Units and Common Units, respectively, holders of Series D
Preferred Units and holders of Common Units shall receive their ratable and
proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of
the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Series D Preferred Units
and Common Units, on a per unit basis, respectively.

          (B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets
available to permit payment in full of the Series D Junior Liquidation
Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred
units, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series D Preferred Units, then
such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such Parity
Units in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event,
however, that there are sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of
the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably
to the holders of Common Units.

          (C) In the event the Partnership shall at any time after the Rights
Declaration Date (i) declare any distribution on Class A Units or Class B Units
payable in Class A Units or Class B Units, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Class
A Units or Class B Units, or (iii) combine the outstanding Class A Units or
Class B Units into a smaller number of units, then in each such case the
Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of Common Units outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of Common Units that were outstanding
immediately prior to such event.

     5.     Consolidation, Merger, Etc.  In case the Partnership shall enter
            --------------------------                                      
into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which Class
A Units or Class B Units are exchanged for or changed into other units or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the Series D

                                      I-3
<PAGE>
 
Preferred Units shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into
such units or securities, cash and/or any other property in an amount per unit
(subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to one
thousand (1,000) times the aggregate amount of units, securities, cash and/or
any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for
which each Class A Unit or Class B Unit is changed or exchanged.  In the event
the Partnership shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare
any distribution on Class A Units or Class B Units payable in Class A Units or
Class B Units, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Class A Units or Class B Units, or
(iii) combine the outstanding Class A Units or Class B Units into a smaller
number of units, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding
sentence with respect to the exchange or change of Series D Preferred Units (as
previously adjusted, if any prior adjustment has occurred) shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
Class A Units or Class B Units outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of Class A Units or Class B Units that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     6.   Redemption Right.  The outstanding Series D Preferred Units may be
          ----------------                                                  
redeemed as a whole, but not in part, at any time, or from time to time, at the
option of the Board of Directors of the General Partner, at a cash price per
share equal to 105 percent of (i) the product of the Adjustment Number times the
Average Market Value (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Class A Units
or Class B Units, plus (ii) all distributions which on the redemption date are
payable on the Class A Units or Class A Units to be redeemed and have not been
paid, earned or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart,
without interest.  The "Average Market Value" of a Class A or Class B Unit shall
equal the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock of the General
Partner during the 30 day period immediately preceding the date before the
redemption date on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange Listed Stocks,
or, if such stock is not quoted on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock
Exchange, or, if such stock is not listed on such Exchange, on the principal
United States securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, on which such stock is listed, or, if such stock is not
listed on any such exchange, the average of the closing sale prices with respect
to a share of Common Stock during such 30 day period, as quoted on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or any
system then in use, or if no such quotations are available, the fair market
value of the Common Stock as determined by the Board in good faith.

     7.   Ranking.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
          -------                                                             
the Series D Preferred Units shall rank junior to all other series of the
preferred units as to voting rights, the payment of distributions and the
distribution of assets in liquidation, unless the terms of any such series shall
provide otherwise.

     8.   Voting Rights.  The holders of Series D Preferred Units shall have
          -------------                                                     
the following voting rights:

               (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, each Series D Preferred Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one
thousand (1,000) votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the Partners. In
the event the General Partner shall at any time after the Rights Declaration
Date (i) declare any distribution on Class A Units or Class B Units payable in
Class A Units or Class B Units, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Class A Units or
Class B Units, or (iii) combine the outstanding Class A Units or Class B Units
into a smaller number of units, then in each such case the number of votes per
share to which holders of Series D Preferred Units were entitled immediately
prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of Common Units outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Units that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

                                      I-4
<PAGE>
 
          (B) Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of Series D
Preferred Units and the holders of Common Units and any Partnership Units having
general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted

Mortgaged Properties." The Notes, the Mortgages, the Payment Guaranties and all

Mortgages to Fannie Mae.  In consideration of such assignment, Fannie Mae will

                   released a new Multifamily Residential Property (the "New
                   Property") by granting to Lender a first lien Mortgage
                   encumbering the New Property;

               (2)  The New Property has a Value equal to or greater than the
                    Value of the Mortgaged Property to be released on the date
                    of the release;

               (3)  The New Property meets all of Fannie Mae's then applicable
                    underwriting criteria under the DUS Guide for new loans
                    secured by Multifamily Residential Properties (as determined
                    by Lender) and has a debt service coverage ratio and loan to
                    value ratio, computed in accordance with the applicable
                    underwriting criteria under the DUS Guide, equal to at least
                    135% and 65% respectively (and, for such purposes, Lender
                    shall calculate such ratios using a debt, and debt service,
                    based on the amount of debt then currently allocated to the
                    Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 19);

               (4)  after giving effect to the substitution, the Coverage and
                    LTV Tests are satisfied;

               (5)  All documentation relating to the foregoing is acceptable to
                    Lender in its discretion in all respects, including legal
                    opinions, title insurance, Mortgages, Collateral Agreements,
                    assignments and any amendments to the other Loan Documents;

               (6)  Borrowers shall pay to Lender a fee equal to the product
                    obtained by multiplying (i) 65 basis points, by (ii) 65%, by
                    (iii) the Value of the New Property (except that, for these
                    purposes only, the Value of the New Property shall not
                    exceed an amount which, when added to the Values of the
                    other Mortgaged Properties (excluding the Mortgaged Property
                    to be released) causes the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio to
                    equal 65%);

               (7)  With respect to the proposed New Property, Borrowers shall
                    pay Fannie Mae and Lender a due diligence fee plus all costs
                    and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) reasonably
                    incurred by Fannie Mae or Lender in connection with the
                    foregoing. Such amounts shall be paid by Borrowers promptly
                    upon receipt of invoices therefor, and shall be payable
                    regardless whether the property substitution does or does
                    not (for any reason) ultimately occur;

               (8)  No prior release of a Mortgaged Property has occurred within
                    the calendar quarter in which the release of the Release
                    Property is scheduled to occur; and

               (9)  No Event of Default, or any event which, with the giving of
                    notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an
                    Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

          (d) Special Provisions Relating to Newport Village III and Crystal
              --------------------------------------------------------------
     Square. Until such time as Lender shall have received from each of the
     ------                                                                
     ground lessors for the two Leasehold Mortgaged Properties known as Newport
     Village III and Crystal Square estoppel certificates substantially in the
     form approved by Lender, the Net Operating Income and Value of these
     Leasehold Mortgage Properties for which a satisfactory estoppel certificate
     has not been obtained shall not be included in the pool of Mortgaged
     Properties for purposes of calculation of the respective financial tests
     comprising the Coverage and LTV Tests.  The amount of any debt (and any
     debt service on such debt) allocated to these Leasehold Mortgaged
     Properties for any purpose shall not be excluded for purposes of
     calculating the Coverage and LTV Tests.

          (e) Special Provisions Relating to Fort Chaplin Park.  In the event
              ------------------------------------------------               
     that, on or before December 31, 1999, Borrower conveys the Mortgaged
     Property identified as Fort Chaplin Park on Exhibit B (the "Fort Chaplin
                                                 ---------                   
     Park Property") to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, then,
     provided that all other conditions precedent to the release of this
     Mortgaged Property set forth in this Section 2 are complied with, Lender
     shall release this Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Loan Documents.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required, as a
     condition to the release of the Fort Chaplin Park Property on or before
     December 31, 1999, to pay a Release Fee or pay any underwriting or due
     diligence fee (or any appraisal, inspection or other costs customarily
     incurred in underwriting) to Lender in connection with the inclusion of the
     Fort Chaplin Park Property as collateral for the Mortgage Loans or the
     release of the Fort Chaplin Park Property from the lien of its Mortgage,
     but Borrower shall be liable for any other out-of-pocket costs incurred by
     Lender in connection with the inclusion or release.  If, on or before
     December 31, 1999, the Fort Chaplin Park Property is not conveyed to a
     Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, (i) the provision of this
     paragraph shall no longer apply, (ii) Lender shall proceed to perform an
     underwriting on the Fort Chaplin Park Property at Borrower's expense
     (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12) and (iii) the other
     provisions of this Agreement shall govern the release of the Fort Chaplin
     Park Property from the lien of its Mortgage.

     3.   District of Columbia Rental Housing Sale and Conversion Act of 1980.
          -------------------------------------------------------------------  
SPH TWO (DC) hereby agrees that, in the event a final, nonappealable judgment
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the residential
tenants of any Mortgaged Property owned by SPH TWO (DC), or a tenant
organization formed by such residential tenants, have the right to purchase such
Mortgaged Property, it will, upon the conveyance of legal title to such tenants
or their tenant organization effect a substitution permitted under Section 2 so
that the Coverage and LTV Tests are satisfied.

     4.   Ground Leases.  (a) Each Borrower which owns a Leasehold Mortgaged
          -------------                                                     
Property shall pay all rent and other sums due under the Ground Lease with
respect to its Leasehold Mortgaged Property directly to the lessor under such
ground lease (the "Ground Lessor"), and, within 20 days after the commencement
of each calendar quarter, shall deliver to Lender a written notification that
Borrower has made all payments which are required under the Ground Lease for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter, together with evidence of such payment
and an accounting of any percentage or other rent payments which are made other

Lender.

          (b)  Each Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender promptly upon
receipt of notice of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding affecting any Ground
Lessor of a Leasehold Mortgaged Property written notice of such bankruptcy or
similar proceeding.  Furthermore, each Borrower which has an interest in a
Leasehold Mortgaged Property hereby assigns, transfers and sets over unto Lender
all rights it may have in connection with such bankruptcy or similar proceeding.
In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby
authorizes Lender to demand, sue for, collect and receive all amounts due such
Borrower, and hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, to vote in connection
with any resolution, arrangement, plan of reorganization or compromise, or
settlement, and to take any other action which would otherwise have been taken
by such Borrower in connection with such a proceeding.

     5.   Shelf Condominiums.  Except for Car Barn I, Car Barn II and Car Barn
          ------------------                                                  
III (the "Car Barn Condominia"), none of the Mortgaged Properties shall be
submitted to a condominium during the term of the Mortgage Loans.  SPH TWO (DC)
covenants and agrees that it will not sell, transfer, enter into a contract for
sale, or enter into a lease with an option for the lessee to purchase, any of
the condominium units in the Car Barn Condominia.

     6.   Covenants of the Borrowers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
          --------------------------                                           
set forth in the Mortgages, Lender acknowledges and approves of Borrowers'
ownership, management and operation of the Mortgaged Properties identified as
being owned by it on Exhibit B.  Each Borrower covenants and agrees that, until
                     ---------                                                 
the principal of, interest on and all other amounts payable in connection with,
the Mortgage Loans have been paid in full, it will  (a)  not incur any
indebtedness of any kind or nature whatsoever secured by a lien on any of the
Mortgaged Properties (with the exception of the mortgages described on Exhibit
                                                                       -------
D, or (b) not incur any unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money outstanding at
- -
any time in excess of $100,000.  The limitations in clauses (a) and (b) above
shall not prohibit either Borrower from becoming a party, as lessee, to
equipment leases requiring payment of an annual rent less than or equal to
$25,000 per lease provided that such Borrower is not a party to more than three
such leases at any one time in connection with each Mortgaged Property owned by
it.

     7.   Reserve Account.  Except as otherwise provided by Section 16, each
          ---------------                                                   
Borrower shall at all times perform its obligations under that certain Reserve
Agreement (the "Reserve Agreement") of even date herewith executed by Borrowers
and Lender.

     8.   Restrictions on Partnership Distributions.  Each Borrower covenants
          -----------------------------------------                          
and agrees that it will not make any distributions of any nature or kind
whatsoever to its general partners or limited partners if, at the time of such
distribution, a Borrower is in default (determined without taking into account
any notice of, or grace period for curing, the default) in performing any of its
obligations under the Loan Documents.

     9.   Replacement Reserve and Security Agreements.  At the Closing of the
          -------------------------------------------                        
Mortgage Loans the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender Replacement
Reserve and Security Agreements (the "Replacement Reserve Agreements"), one for
the Virginia Mortgaged Properties and one for the District of Columbia Mortgaged
Properties, but no amounts need be funded under the Replacement Reserve
Agreements by Borrowers so long as (a) no Event of Default is existing which
remains uncured under the Loan Documents and (b) the Mortgaged Properties are
being maintained in accordance with standards acceptable to Lender and Fannie
Mae.

     10.  Additional Reporting Requirements.  In addition to the financial
          ---------------------------------                               
reporting requirements set forth in the Mortgages, Borrowers shall deliver to
Lender quarterly (or monthly if required by Lender) financial statements for
each of the Mortgaged Properties, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
on an individual basis by no later than 21 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter, or month, as the case may be.  In addition Borrowers shall deliver to
Lender copies of all annual reports on Form 10K, all quarterly reports on Form
10Q and all current reports on Form 8K filed by the REIT with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") promptly following the filing thereof with the
SEC.

     11.  Events of Default.  An "Event of Default" shall occur if:
          -----------------                                        

          (a) SPH TWO defaults in the payment of any of the interest on the SPH
TWO Note when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a
period of more than five days;

          (b) SPH TWO (DC) defaults in the payment of any of the interest on the
SPH TWO (DC) Note when the same becomes due and payable and the default
continues for a period of more than five days;

          (c) SPH TWO fails to perform, comply with or observe any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
(other than a default described in subparagraph (a)) required to be performed,
complied with or observed by it;

          (d) SPH TWO (DC) fails to perform, comply with or observe any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (other than a default described in subparagraph (b)) required to be
performed, complied with or observed by it;

          (e) Any representation or warranty made by SPH TWO and SPH TWO (DC),
or both, in this Agreement, the Loan Closing Certifications or any of the other
Loan Documents is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date
made;

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
          (f) There is a Transfer of all or any part of the Mortgaged Properties
or any interest in the Mortgaged Properties or a Transfer of a Controlling
Interest (as those terms are defined in the Mortgages) which violates Section 21
of the Mortgages;

          (g) SPH TWO (DC) defaults in the payment of any of the principal of,
interest on, or other amounts payable under any of the four Deed of Trust Notes
in the aggregate principal amount of $10,007,006, dated June 30, 1994 and
subordinated as of the date hereof to the liens of the applicable Mortgages,
issued by SPH TWO (DC) and payable to the order of SPH TWO;

          (h) SPH TWO defaults in the payment, when due, of rent payable under,
or defaults in performing, complying with or observing any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of, any Ground Lease required to be paid, performed,
complied with or observed by it as lessee under such Ground Lease and the
default continues after the expiration of the period, if any, provided in the
Ground Lease for curing the default;

          (i) SPH TWO or SPH TWO (DC) fails to perform, comply with or observe
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Reserve Agreement required to
be performed, complied with or observed by it; or

          (j) If any circumstances arise with respect to the condominium regimes
for the Car Barn Condominia, or any of them, including without limitation,
changes in the law, that materially impair the value of the Car Barn Condominia,
or any of them, or Lender's security interest therein.

     A default under subparagraphs (c) or (d) shall not be an Event of Default
until the Lender notifies the Borrowers in writing of the default and the
Borrowers do not cure the default within 10 days after receipt of such notice
(or, if the default can be cured, but not within 10 days, within such additional
period, not to exceed 20 days in the aggregate, as may be required by the
Borrowers to cure the default, provided that the Borrowers commence to cure the
default within the first 10-day period and thereafter prosecute the curing of
the default with diligence, continuity and in good faith).  The preceding
sentence shall not apply to (i) a default by the Borrowers in performing or
complying with the provisions of Section 7 of the Mortgages, or (ii) a default
by the Borrowers in performing or complying with any negative covenant or
agreement in the Loan Documents which prohibits the Borrowers from taking
specified action.

     12.  Underwriting.
          ------------ 

          (a) The parties acknowledge that Lender has not completed its
underwriting with respect to the Mortgaged Properties.  Lender shall continue to
perform its underwriting of the Mortgaged Properties (other than the Fort
Chaplin Property) after the date of this Agreement and Borrowers shall cooperate
with Lender in performing such underwriting.   Provided Borrowers cooperate with
Lender, Lender shall complete its underwriting on or before December 20, 1998.
Borrowers shall pay for all fees and expenses charged or incurred by Lender or
Fannie Mae in connection with such underwriting. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrowers' liability for all third party underwriting charges (other than Fannie
Mae's legal costs) shall not exceed $25,000 (including environmental,
engineering, appraisal and 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
other due diligence costs, and Lender's legal costs). If Lender determines, in
its discretion, that any Mortgaged Properties do not meet all of Fannie Mae's
then applicable underwriting criteria under the DUS Guide for new loans secured
by Multifamily Residential Properties, then such Mortgaged Properties, at either
Borrower's or Lender's request, shall be released from the lien of its Mortgage,
without payment of a Release Fee, and shall not be taken into account in
determining the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Aggregate Loan to
Value Ratio.

     (b) Borrowers shall comply with all repair, replacement, operations and
maintenance or similar requirements required by Lender after the completion of
its underwriting, to the extent they are obligated to do so under the
Completion/Repair, Replacement Reserve and other Loan Documents executed in
connection with this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not modify, expand or
reduce any of the obligations set forth in the Loan Documents.   Without
limiting the foregoing, if required by Lender after completion of its
underwriting of the Mortgaged Properties identified as Crystal Place and Crystal
Square on Exhibit B, then, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of
          ---------                                                          
the Notes and on each anniversary date thereafter during the term of the
Mortgage Loans, SPH TWO will cause the parking garage structures in the
following Mortgaged Properties to be tested, at SPH TWO's sole cost and expense,
in accordance with the standards attached hereto as Exhibit E:
                                                    --------- 

                                 Crystal Place
                                 Crystal Square

The results of these tests, together with SPH TWO's written assessment of the
corrective action, if any, that should be taken, shall be delivered to Lender
within 30 days after SPH TWO receives the test results.

     13.  Waivers; Consents.  Borrowers hereby waive the benefit of any laws or
          -----------------                                                    
decisions requiring the marshaling of assets and consent to Lender's exercise of
its remedies under the Loan Documents by foreclosure of any of the Mortgaged
Properties in any order as Lender may determine, or all at one time.

     14.  Lender's Approval.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Loan
          -----------------                                                  
Documents, wherever the Loan Documents provide that the consent or approval of
Lender is required, Lender may give or withhold such consent or approval in its
sole and absolute discretion.

     15.  Operations and Maintenance Agreements.  Borrowers agree at any time or
          -------------------------------------                                 
from time to time during the term of the Mortgage Loans, within 30 days after
demand by Lender, to enter into an agreement with Lender (or to enter into a
written program of operations and maintenance satisfactory to Lender and
governed by the Mortgages), under which Borrowers will agree to comply with any
reasonable program of operations and maintenance relating to the Mortgaged
Properties requested by Lender.

     16.  Revolving Facility.
          ------------------ 

     (a) As contemplated in that certain letter executed by Lender and Charles
E. Smith Residential Realty, L.P. dated October 22, 1998, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit F, Borrowers, Lender and Fannie Mae have entered into
                   ---------                                                    

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
and, at their discretion, may continue discussions pursuant to which Borrowers
and Lender would execute a Master Credit Facility Agreement (a "Master
                                                                ------
Agreement") providing for a Base Facility and a Revolving Facility under the
Fannie Mae Base/Revolver Credit Facility Product Line in an aggregate amount
(the "Commitment") not to exceed $200,000,000 (except as may be increased
pursuant to Section 16(b)(9)).  In the event that Borrowers and Lender execute a
Master Agreement, it is contemplated that the Notes shall thereupon constitute
Base Facility Notes under the Base Facility and that the Mortgages shall be part
of the Collateral Pool securing the Notes.  It is further contemplated that any
Advances made under the Base Facility or the Revolving Facility shall be deemed
secured under the Mortgages, and shall be considered Future Advances currently
contemplated by the Mortgages.  Accordingly, upon the execution of such a Master
Agreement, the Mortgages shall secure the Notes, any other Base Facility Notes,
the Revolving Facility Note and all other Obligations under the Master Agreement
or the other loan documents executed by a party to the Master Agreement from
time to time in connection with the Master Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by the Master Agreement.   Nothing in this paragraph shall impose
any obligation whatsoever on Borrowers, Fannie Mae or the Lender to enter into
the Master Agreement or any other transaction or to enter into discussions or
negotiations with respect to the Master Agreement or any other transaction.
Capitalized terms used in this paragraph shall have the meanings set forth in
the form Master Agreement prescribed by Fannie Mae from time to time under the
Fannie Mae Base/Revolver Credit Facility Product Line.

     (b) In addition to the provisions of paragraph (a), if and when the Master
Agreement is executed, then the following terms shall apply:

     (1) Any Advances (other than the Mortgage Loans described in this
Agreement) shall be secured by additional separate Multifamily Deeds of Trust,
Assignment of Rents and Security Agreements encumbering each Mortgaged Property
(collectively, the "Additional Mortgages").  Each Additional Mortgage
encumbering a Mortgaged Property shall be equal in priority to the lien of each
Mortgage encumbering the Mortgaged Property and shall contain such terms and
conditions as may be agreed upon by Lender and Borrowers.  Lender and Borrowers
agree to enter into such amendments as may be necessary to the Mortgages or
other Loan Documents in order to accomplish the equality of lien priority as
between the Mortgages and the Additional Mortgages.

     (2) If and when the Master Agreement is executed, Lender and Borrowers
shall terminate the Reserve Agreement and enter into a cash management agreement
(the "Cash Management Agreement"). The Cash Management Agreement shall include
the current Fannie Mae requirements regarding the establishment and maintenance
of cash management accounts pledged to Lender into which all Gross Revenues from
all Mortgaged Properties will be deposited, together with the following terms
and conditions: Borrowers shall not be required to deposit Gross Revenues into
the cash management accounts pledged to Lender unless the Aggregate Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the Trailing 12 Month Period is less than 120%, assuming, for
purposes of this paragraph (2) only, that Facility Debt Service for term loans
shall be actual debt service and debt service for loans made under the Revolving
Facility shall be calculated at the rate at which each loan made under the
Revolving Facility is capped pursuant to the Cap Agreement executed by Borrowers
in connection with each loan made under the Revolving Facility.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
     (3) At Borrower's request, a Mortgaged Property shall be released from the
lien of its Mortgage and all collateral derived from such Mortgaged Property
shall be released to Borrowers, without another Multifamily Residential Property
being substituted therefor, if each of the following conditions are met:

          (a) After giving effect to the release, the Modified Coverage and LTV
              Tests are satisfied.

          (b) Borrowers shall cause the Release Property to be immediately
              conveyed by Borrowers to a Person other than a Borrower;

          (c) All documentation relating to the foregoing is acceptable to

                   Agreement) or (ii) 10 basis points lower than the Initial

               giving effect to any releases, if any, of any Mortgaged
               Properties pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof.  For these purposes,
               Facility Debt Service for term loans shall be actual debt service
               and debt service for the Revolving Facility shall be calculated
               on the full amount of the Revolving Facility Commitment (whether

               giving effect to any releases, if any, of any Mortgaged
               Properties pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof.  For these purposes,
               the outstanding principal balance of term loans shall be the
               actual outstanding amount of the term loans and the outstanding
               principal balance of revolving loans shall be calculated on the
               full amount of the Revolving Facility Commitment (whether or not
               the full amount of advances under the Revolving Facility have
               been, or may be, drawn)

making of Revolving Advances, without regard to any unclosed Requests or to the
fact that a Request must satisfy conditions precedent.

     (6)  On and after the date of the Master Agreement, "Facility Debt Service"
                                                          ---------------------

                     amortization deemed to commence on the first day of the 12
                     month period; and

                (ii) each Base Facility Advance shall be deemed to require level
                     monthly payments of principal and interest (at the Coupon
                     Rate for the Base Facility Advance) in an amount necessary
                     to fully amortize the original principal amount of the Base
                     Facility Advance over a 30-year period, with such
                     amortization to commence on the day of the first payment of
                     the Notes; and

          (b) the amount of the standby fees payable to the Lender during such

           UNDERTAKING OF CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY, L.P.
           --------------------------------------------------------

The undersigned, Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), a general partner of each of the Borrowers, hereby makes the
following covenants for the benefit of Lender, acknowledges that Lender would
not make the Mortgage Loans without the Operating Partnership's execution of
these covenants, and acknowledges that it will benefit by the Lender's making of
the Mortgage Loans to Borrowers:

In the event that, as of the Initial Underwriting Date, the Coverage and LTV
Tests are not satisfied, the Operating Partnership shall execute a guaranty of
the Mortgage Loans, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.  The guaranty
shall provide that the maximum amount which Lender may recover under the
guaranty shall be limited to the sum of--

          (i)  all costs, including attorneys' fees, to collect or enforce the
               guaranty, and

          (ii)  the lesser of--

               (x) $20,000,000, or

               (y) the excess, if any, of--

                     (1)  $140,000,000, over

                     (2) the maximum principal amount of debt (as determined by
                         Lender), bearing interest at 6.75% per annum (the
                         interest rate set forth in the Notes) at which the
                         Coverage and LTV Tests would be satisfied.

The guaranty shall be released at such time as the Coverage and LTV Tests are
satisfied.

                                RIGHTS AGREEMENT



     Rights Agreement, dated as of December 2, 1998 (this "Agreement"), between
CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY, INC., a Maryland corporation (the
"Company"), and FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK (the "Rights Agent").

     WHEREAS, on December 2, 1998 (the "Rights Dividend Declaration Date"), the
Board of Directors of the Company authorized and declared a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each share of Common Stock (as
defined herein) of the Company outstanding at the Close of Business (as defined
herein) on the Record Date (as defined herein), and has authorized the issuance
of one Right with respect to each share of Common Stock of the Company issued
between the Record Date (whether originally issued or delivered from the
Company's treasury) and the Distribution Date (as defined herein), each Right
initially representing the right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of
Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company having the
preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms or conditions of
redemption set forth in the form of Articles Supplementary of Board of Directors
Classifying and Designating a Series of Preferred Stock as Series D Junior
Participating Preferred Stock and Fixing Distribution and Other Preferences and
Rights of such Series attached hereto as Exhibit A, upon the terms and subject
                                         ---------                            
to the conditions hereinafter set forth.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 Section 1.    Certain Definitions.

     For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings
indicated:

          (a) "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person (as defined herein) who
or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates (as such terms are defined
herein) of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner (as defined herein) of 15%
or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, but shall not include:

              (i) the Company;
 
              (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company; or

              (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary
of the Company, or any Person holding shares of Common Stock for or pursuant to
the terms of any such plan to the extent, and only to the extent, of such shares
so held.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall become an "Acquiring
Person" as the result of an acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company
which, by reducing the number of shares of 
<PAGE>
 
Common Stock outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by such Person to 15% or more of the shares of Common
Stock of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person shall
                                       --------  -------
become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock of the Company
then outstanding by reason of share purchases by the Company and shall, after
such share purchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any
additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, then such Person shall be
deemed to be an "Acquiring Person" if such Person is then the Beneficial Owner
of 15% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith
that a Person who would otherwise be an "Acquiring Person", as defined pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), has become such
inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock so that such Person would no longer be an
"Acquiring Person", then such Person shall not be deemed an "Acquiring Person"
for any purposes of this Agreement unless and until such Person shall again
become an "Acquiring Person".

          (b) "Adjustment Shares" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
11(a)(ii) hereof.

          (c) "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under
the Exchange Act (as defined herein).

          (d) "Agreement" shall mean this Rights Agreement as originally
executed or as it may from time to time be supplemented or amended pursuant to
the applicable provisions hereof.

          (e) A Person shall be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of and shall be
deemed to "beneficially own" any securities:

              (i) which such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or
          Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to acquire (whether
          such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of
          time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether
          or not in writing), or upon the exercise of conversion rights,
          exchange rights, other rights (other than these Rights), warrants or
          options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a Person shall not be
          deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to "beneficially own", (A)
          securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or
          on behalf of such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or
          Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or
          exchange; or (B) securities issuable upon exercise of Rights at any
          time prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, or (C) securities
          issuable upon exercise of Rights from and after the occurrence of a
          Triggering Event which Rights were acquired by such Person or any of
          such Person's Affiliates or Associates prior to the Distribution Date
          or pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 22 hereof (the "Original
          Rights") or pursuant to Section 11(i) hereof in connection with an
          adjustment made with respect to any Original Rights;
<PAGE>
 
              (ii) which such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or
          Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to vote or dispose
          of or has "beneficial ownership" of (as determined pursuant to Rule
          13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act),
          including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding,
          whether or not in writing; provided, however, that a Person shall not
          be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to beneficially own, any
          security under this subparagraph (ii) as a result of an agreement,
          arrangement or understanding to vote such security if such agreement,
          arrangement or understanding: (A) arises solely from a revocable proxy
          given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made
          pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the
          General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, and (B) is not
          also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange
          Act (or any comparable or successor report); or

              (iii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any
          other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate thereof) with which such
          Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates has any
          agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing),
          for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except pursuant to a
          revocable proxy as described in the proviso to subparagraph (ii) of
          this paragraph (e)) or disposing of any voting securities of the
          Company;

     provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (e) shall cause a Person
     --------  -------

     Owner" of, or to "beneficially own," any securities acquired through such
     Person's participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting
     until the expiration of forty days after the date of such acquisition.
     Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph (e), a Person shall
     not be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to "beneficially own" any

          (g) "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday,

Stock, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Summary of
                                                    ---------                 
Rights"), to each record holder of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on
the Record Date at the address of such holder shown on the 
<PAGE>
 
records of the Company. With respect to certificates for shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the Rights will
be evidenced by such certificates for the Common Stock and the registered
holders of the Common Stock shall also be the registered holders of the
associated Rights. Until the Distribution Date (or the earlier Expiration Date
or Final Expiration Date), the transfer of any certificate representing shares
of Common Stock in respect of which Rights have been issued shall also
constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Common Stock
represented thereby.

     (b) Rights shall be issued in respect of all shares of Common Stock issued
(whether originally issued or from the Company's treasury) after the Record Date
but prior to the earlier of the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date or the
Final Expiration Date.  Rights shall also be issued to the extent provided in
Section 22 in respect of all shares of Common Stock which are issued (whether
originally issued or from the Company's treasury) after the Distribution Date
and prior to the Expiration Date.  Certificates representing such shares of
Common Stock shall also be deemed to be certificates for Rights, and shall bear
the following legend (in addition to any other legends that may be required):

         This Certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to
         certain Rights as set forth in a Rights Agreement between Charles E.
         Smith Residential Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
         "Corporation") and First Union National Bank (the "Rights Agent"),
         dated as of December __, 1998 (the "Rights Agreement"), the terms of
         which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which
         is on file at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. Under
         certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such
         Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be
         evidenced by this Certificate. The Corporation will mail to the holder
         of this Certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement as in effect on the
         date of mailing without charge after receipt of a written request
         therefor.

         Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights
         issued to, or held by, any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring
         Person or any Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined
         in the Rights Agreement), whether currently held by or on behalf of
         such Person or by any subsequent holder, may become null and void. The
         Rights shall not be exercisable, and shall be null and void so long as
         held, by a holder in any jurisdiction where the requisite qualification
         of the issuance to such holder, or the exercise by such holder, of the
         Rights in such jurisdiction shall not have been obtained or be
         obtainable.

With respect to such certificates containing the foregoing legend, until the
earlier of (i) the Distribution Date or (ii) the Expiration Date, the Rights
associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates shall be
evidenced by such certificates alone and registered holders of Common Stock
shall also be the registered holders of the associated Rights, and the transfer
of any such certificate shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with the Common Stock represented thereby.
<PAGE>
 
     (c) Until the Distribution Date (i) the Rights will be evidenced (subject
to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 3) by the certificates for
Common Stock registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates
for Common Stock shall also be deemed to be Rights Certificates) and not by
separate Rights Certificates, and (ii) the Rights will be transferable only in
connection with the transfer of the underlying shares of Common Stock (including
a transfer to the Company).

     (d) As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent
upon notification thereof will send by first-class, insured, postage prepaid
mail, to each record holder of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the
Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the
Company, a rights certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto
                                                            ---------       
(the "Rights Certificate"), evidencing one Right for each share of Common Stock
so held, subject to adjustment as provided herein.  In the event that an
adjustment in the number of Rights per share of Common Stock has been made
pursuant to Section 11 hereof, at the time of distribution of the Rights
Certificates, the Company shall make necessary and appropriate rounding
adjustments (in accordance with Section 14(a) hereof) so that Rights
Certificates representing only whole numbers of Rights are distributed and cash
is paid in lieu of any fractional Rights.  As of and after the Distribution
Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by such Right Certificates.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if a timely
and proper exercise of a conversion right with respect to any Series A Preferred
Shares is delivered to the Company on or prior to the Distribution Date, the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such conversion right shall be
deemed to have been issued prior to the Distribution Date, and any holder of a
share of Common Stock issued upon such exercise of such right shall be entitled
to receive the same number of Rights per share of Common Stock as if such holder
were a record holder of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the
Distribution Date as provided in Section 3(d), even if issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon such exercise of such right occurs after the Distribution
Date.

 Section 4.    Form of Rights Certificates.

     (a) The Rights Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase and of
assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially the same
as Exhibit C hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and
   ---------                                                                    
such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem
appropriate, and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement,
or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock
exchange on which the Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to
usage.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11 and Section 22 hereof, the
Rights Certificates, whenever issued, shall be dated as of the Record Date, and
on their face shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of one
one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock as shall be set forth
therein at the price set forth therein (such exercise price per one one-
thousandth of a share, the "Purchase Price"), but the amount and type of
securities purchasable upon exercise of each Right and the 
<PAGE>
 
Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.

     (b) Any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 3(d) or Section 22
hereof that represents Rights beneficially owned by:  (i) an Acquiring Person or
any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person; (ii) a transferee of an
Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a
transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such; or (iii) a transferee of an
Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a
transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and
receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for
consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such
Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person has any
continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred
Rights or (B) a transfer which a majority of the Board has determined is part of
an agreement, arrangement or understanding which has as a primary purpose or
effect avoidance of Section 7(e) hereof and any Rights Certificate issued
pursuant to Section 6 or Section 11 hereof upon transfer, exchange, replacement
or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence,
shall contain (to the extent feasible) the following legend:

               The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate are or were
               beneficially owned by a Person who was or became an Acquiring
               Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person (as
               such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement). Accordingly,
               this Rights Certificate and the Rights represented hereby may
               become null and void in the circumstances specified in Section
               7(e) of such Rights Agreement.

Section 5.     Countersignature and Registration.

     (a) The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
its President, a Vice-President or the Chairman of the Board and countersigned
by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer, in each case either manually or by facsimile signature, and have
affixed thereto the Company's seal or a facsimile thereof.  The Rights
Certificates shall be countersigned, either manually or by facsimile signature,
by the Rights Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so
countersigned (but it shall not be necessary for the same signatory to
countersign all of the Rights Certificates hereunder).  In case any officer of
the Company who shall have signed any of the Rights Certificates shall cease to
be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and
issuance and delivery by the Company, such Rights Certificates, nevertheless,
may be countersigned by the Rights Agent, and issued and delivered by the
Company with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such
Rights Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any
Rights Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at
the actual date of the execution of such Rights Certificate, shall be a proper
officer of the Company to sign such Rights Certificate, although at the date of
the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such an officer.

     (b) Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to
be kept, at 
<PAGE>
 
its principal office or at offices designated as the appropriate place for
surrender of Rights Certificates upon exercise or transfer, books for
registration and transfer of the Rights Certificates issued hereunder. Such
books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Rights
Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face by each of the Rights
Certificates and the date of each of the Rights Certificates.


Section 6.     Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Rights
                     Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Rights 
                     Certificates.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), Section 7(e) and Section 14
hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at
or prior to the Close of Business on the earlier of the Expiration Date or Final
Expiration Date, any Rights Certificate or Certificates may be transferred,
split up, combined or exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Certificates,
entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of one one-thousandths
of a share of Series D Preferred Stock (or following a Triggering Event, Common
Stock, other securities, cash, or other assets, as the case may be) as the
Rights Certificate or Certificates surrendered then entitled such holder (or
former holder in the case of a transfer) to purchase.  Any registered holder
desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Rights Certificate shall
make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender
the Rights Certificate or Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or
exchanged at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose.
Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action
whatsoever with respect to the transfer of any such surrendered Rights
Certificate until the registered holder shall have properly completed and signed
the certificate contained in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such
Rights Certificate and shall have provided such additional evidence of the
identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or
Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request.  Thereupon the
Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 4(b), Section 7(e) and Section 14 hereof,
countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Rights Certificate or
Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.  The Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of
Rights Certificates.

     (b) Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Rights
Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to them, and, at the Company's request,
reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of
the Rights Certificate if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new
Rights Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for countersignature and
delivery to the registered owner in lieu of the Rights Certificate so lost,
stolen, destroyed, or mutilated.

Section 7.     Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights.

     (a) Subject to Section 7(e) hereof, the registered holder of any Rights
Certificate may 
<PAGE>
 
exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein
including, without limitation, the restrictions on exercisability set forth in
Section 9(c), Section 11(a)(iii) and Section 23(a) hereof) in whole or in part
at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Rights
Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate on the
reverse side thereof duly and properly executed, to the Rights Agent at the
office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of
the Purchase Price for each one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred
Stock (or other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as to
which the Rights are exercised, at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of
business on December 13, 2008 (the "Final Expiration Date"), (ii) the time at
which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof, (iii) the time
at which such Rights are exchanged (the "Exchange Date") as provided in Section
24 hereof, or (iv) the time at which the Rights expire pursuant to Section 13(d)
hereof (the earliest of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being herein referred to as
the "Expiration Date").

     (b) Each Right shall entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase one
one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock, and the Purchase Price
for each one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to
the exercise of a Right shall initially be $108.00, and shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13 hereof and shall
be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in accordance with
paragraph (c) below.

     (c) Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate representing exercisable Rights,
with the form of election to purchase and the certificate duly and properly
executed, accompanied by payment, with respect to each Right so exercised, of
the Purchase Price per one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock
(or Common Stock, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) to
be purchased and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax or governmental
charge in cash, or by certified check, cashier's check or bank draft payable to
the order of the Company, the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 18(k)
hereof, thereupon promptly (i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent of the
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or make available, if the Rights Agent is
the transfer agent) certificates for the total number of one one-thousandths of
a share of Series D Preferred Stock to be purchased and the Company hereby
irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or
(B) if the Company shall have elected to deposit the total number of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights hereunder with a
depositary agent, requisition from the depositary agent depositary receipts
representing such number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred
Stock as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the shares of
Series D Preferred Stock represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the
transfer agent with the depositary agent) and the Company will direct the
depositary to comply with such request, (ii) requisition from the Company the
amount of cash, if any, to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in
accordance with Section 14, (iii) promptly after receipt of such certificates or
depositary receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the
registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names
as may be designated by such holder and (iv) after receipt thereof, promptly
deliver such cash, if any, to or upon the order of the registered holder of such
Rights Certificate.  In the event that the Company is obligated to issue other
securities (including Common Stock) of the Company, pay cash and/or distribute
other 
<PAGE>
 
property pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Company will make all
arrangements necessary so that such securities, cash and/or other property are
available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when appropriate.

     (d) In case the registered holder of any Rights Certificate shall exercise
less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Rights Certificate evidencing
Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the
Rights Agent and delivered to, or upon the order of, the registered holder of
such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated
by such holder, subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and
after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, any Rights beneficially
owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring
Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or
Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such, or
(iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or
Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring
Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer
(whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of
equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom such
Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding
regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer which a majority of the Board
has determined is part of an agreement, arrangement or understanding which has
as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7(e), shall become
null and void without any further action, and no holder of such Rights shall
have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any
provision of this Agreement or otherwise.  The Company shall use all reasonable
efforts to ensure that the provisions of this Section 7(e) and Section 4(b)
hereof are complied with, but shall have no liability to any holder of Rights
Certificates or other Person as a result of its failure to make any
determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates, Associates
or transferees hereunder.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the
Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with
respect to a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as
set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i)
properly completed and signed the certificate contained in the form of election
to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Rights Certificate surrendered
for such exercise, and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of
the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates
thereof as the Company shall reasonably request.

Section 8.     Cancellation and Destruction of Rights Certificates.

     All Rights Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer,
split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any
of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in canceled
form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no
Rights Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
<PAGE>
 
permitted by any provisions of this Agreement.  The Company shall deliver to the
Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so
cancel and retire, any other Rights Certificate purchased or acquired by the
Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof.  The Rights Agent shall
deliver all canceled Rights Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the
written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Rights Certificates, and
in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company.

Section 9.     Reservation and Availability of Capital Stock.

     (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and
kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Series D Preferred
Stock (and following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, out of its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock and/or other securities or out of its
authorized and issued shares held in its treasury), the number of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
shares of Common Stock and/or other securities) that, as provided in this
Agreement, including Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, will be sufficient to permit the
exercise in full of all outstanding Rights.

     (b) In the event the shares of Series D Preferred Stock (and, following the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, Common Stock and/or other securities) issuable
upon the exercise of Rights become listed on any national securities exchange,
the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after such time as the
Rights become exercisable, all such shares reserved for such issuance to be
listed on such exchange upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise.

     (c) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file, as soon as
practicable following the earliest date after the first occurrence of a Section
11(a)(ii) Event on which the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon
exercise of the Rights has been determined in accordance with this Agreement, or
as soon as is required by law following the Distribution Date, as the case may
be, a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the
securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, (ii)
cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable
after such filing, and (iii) cause such registration statement to remain
effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the
Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the Rights are no
longer exercisable for such securities, and (B) the Expiration Date.  The
Company also shall take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure
compliance with, the securities or "blue sky" laws of the various states in
connection with the exercisability of the Rights.  The Company may temporarily
suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after the date set
forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 9(c), the
exercisability of the Rights in order to prepare and file such registration
statement and permit it to become effective.  In addition, if the Company shall
determine that a registration statement is required following the Distribution
Date, the Company may temporarily suspend the exercisability of the Rights until
such time as a registration statement has been declared effective.  Upon any
suspension of exercisability of Rights referred to in this Section 9(c), the
Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the
Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such
time as the suspension is no longer in effect.  Notwithstanding any provision of
this 
<PAGE>
 
Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable and shall be null
and void so long as held by a holder in any jurisdiction where the requisite
qualification to the issuance to such holder, or the exercise by such holder, of
the Rights in such jurisdiction shall not have been obtained or be obtainable,
or the exercise thereof shall not be permitted under applicable law or a
registration statement shall not have been declared effective.

     (d) Subject to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the Company covenants and agrees
that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all one
one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock (and, following the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, Common Stock and/or other securities)
delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly
and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

     (e) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and
payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be
payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates or of
any certificates for a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D
Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as the case may be)
upon the exercise of Rights.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay
any transfer tax or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer or
delivery of Rights Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or
delivery of certificates for a number of one one-thousandths of a share of
Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as the case
may be) in a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Rights
Certificate evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver
any certificates for a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D
Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as the case may be) in
a name other than that of the registered holder upon the exercise of any Rights
until any such tax or charge shall have been paid (any such tax or charge being
payable by the holder of such Rights Certificate at the time of surrender) or
until it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such tax or
charge is due.

Section 10.    Series D Preferred Stock Record Date.

     Each Person in whose name any certificate for a number of one one-
thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other
securities, as the case may be) is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for
all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such fractional
shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as
the case may be) represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated,
the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly
surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer taxes
and charges) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and
                       --------  -------                                        
payment is a date upon which the Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock
and/or other securities as the case may be) 
<PAGE>
 
transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have
become the record holder of such shares (fractional or otherwise) on, and such
certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Series
D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities as the case may be)
transfer books of the Company are open. Prior to the exercise of the Rights
evidenced thereby, the holder of a Rights Certificate shall not be entitled to
any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares for which the
Rights shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote,
to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive
rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of
the Company, except as provided herein.

Section 11.  Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number and Kind of Shares or Number
of Rights.

     The Purchase Price, the number and kind of shares covered by each Right and
the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided in this Section 11.

     (a) (i)  In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this
Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Series D Preferred Stock payable in
shares of Series D Preferred Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding Series D
Preferred Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Series D Preferred Stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), except as otherwise
provided in this Section 11(a) and Section 7(e) hereof, the Purchase Price in
effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date
of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number and kind of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock or the number and kind of shares of capital
stock issuable on such date, as the case may be, shall be proportionately
adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be
entitled to receive, upon payment of the aggregate adjusted Purchase Price then
in effect necessary to exercise a Right in full, the aggregate number and kind
of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or the number and kind of shares of
capital stock, as the case may be, which, if such Right had been exercised
immediately prior to such date and at a time when the Series D Preferred Stock
(or other capital stock, as the case may be) transfer books of the Company were
open, he would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by
virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination, or reclassification.  If an
event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i)
and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section
11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment
required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.

          (ii) Subject to Sections 23 and 24 of this Agreement, in the event
that any Person, alone or together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall, at
any time after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date, become an Acquiring Person,
unless the event causing such Person to become an Acquiring Person is (x) a
Section 13 Event or (y) an acquisition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a
cash tender offer made pursuant to Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act for all
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Person making the offer or by its Affiliates or
Associates) at a price and on terms determined by at least two-thirds of the
Board, after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms, to be
(a) fair to stockholders (taking into account all factors which such members of
the 
<PAGE>
 
Board deem relevant including, without limitation, prices which could reasonably
be achieved if the Company or its assets were sold on an orderly basis designed
to realize maximum value) and (b) otherwise in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders, then promptly after the date of occurrence of a Section
11(a)(ii) Event, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right
(except as provided below and in Section 7(e) hereof) shall thereafter have the
right to receive, upon exercise thereof and payment of an amount equal to the
then current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in
lieu of a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock,
such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal the result
obtained by (x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the then number
of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock for which a Right
was or would have been exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of
a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, whether or not such Right was then exercisable, and
(y) dividing that product (which, following such first occurrence, shall
thereafter be referred to as the "Purchase Price" for each Right and for all
purposes of this Agreement except to the extent set forth in Section 13 thereof)
by 50% of the current market price per share of Common Stock (determined
pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of such first occurrence (such
number of shares, the "Adjustment Shares").

          (iii)     The Company may at its option substitute for a share of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rights in accordance with the
foregoing subparagraph (ii) such number or fractions of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock having an aggregate market value equal to the current per share
market price of a share of Common Stock.  In the event that the number of shares
of Common Stock which is authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
as amended from time to time, but not outstanding, or reserved for issuance for
purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights, is not sufficient to permit the
exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph
(ii), the Board shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the
extent permitted by any material agreements or material instruments then in
effect to which the Company is a party, (A) determine the excess of (1) the
value of the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the
"Current Value") over (2) the Purchase Price (such excess, the "Spread"), and
(B) with respect to each Right (subject to Section 7(e) hereof), make adequate
provision to substitute for some or all of the Adjustment Shares, upon exercise
of a Right and payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a
reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) Common Stock or other equity securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, shares, or units of shares, of
Series D Preferred Stock which the Board has deemed to have the same value as
shares of Common Stock) (such shares of equity securities being herein called
"Stock Equivalents"), (4) debt securities of the Company, (5) other assets, or
(6) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal to the
Current Value, where such aggregate value has been determined by the Board based
upon the advice of an investment banking firm selected by the Board; provided,
                                                                     -------- 
however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value
- -------                                                                        
pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) days following the later of (x)
the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event and (y) the date on which the
Company's right of redemption pursuant to Section 23(a) expires (the later of
(x) and (y) being referred to herein as the "Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date"),
then the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise
of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, shares of Common
Stock (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, 
<PAGE>
 
which shares and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread.

     If, upon the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, the Board shall
determine in good faith that it is likely that sufficient additional shares of
Common Stock could be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the
Rights, then if the Board so elects, the thirty (30) day period set forth above
may be extended to the extent necessary, but not more than ninety (90) days
after the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date, in order that the Company may seek
stockholder approval for the authorization of such additional shares (such
period, as it may be extended, the "Substitution Period").  To the extent that
action is to be taken pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section
11(a)(iii), the Company (x) shall provide, subject to Section 7(e) hereof, that
such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights, and (y) may suspend
the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of the Substitution Period
in order to seek any authorization of additional shares and/or to decide the
appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section 11(a)(iii) and to determine the value thereof.  In the event of any
such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the
exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public
announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect.  For
purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of the Common Stock shall be the
current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per share
of the Common Stock on the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date and the value of any
Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to have the same value as the Common Stock on
such date.  The Board may, but shall not be required to, establish procedures to
allocate the right to receive shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the
Rights among holders of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii).

     (b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights,
options or warrants to all holders of Series D Preferred Stock entitling them
(for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record
date) to subscribe for or purchase Series D Preferred Stock (or shares having
the same preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms or conditions or
redemption as the shares of Series D Preferred Stock ("Equivalent Preferred
Stock") or securities convertible into Series D Preferred Stock at a price per
share of Series D Preferred Stock or per share of Equivalent Preferred Stock (or
having a conversion price per share of Series D Preferred Stock, if a security
convertible into Series D Preferred Stock) less than the current per share
market price of the Series D Preferred Stock (as defined in Section 11(d)) on
such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date
shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date,
plus the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and/or
Equivalent Preferred Stock so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial
conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase
at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date, plus the
number of additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock and/or Equivalent
Preferred Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the
convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible).  In case
such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which
<PAGE>
 
shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as
determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be described in
a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all
purposes.  Shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned by or held for the account
of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such
computation.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued,
the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then
be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

     (c) In case the Company shall fix a record date for a distribution to all
holders of Series D Preferred Stock (including any such distribution made in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
or surviving corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash (other than a
regular quarterly cash dividend out of the earnings or retained earnings of the
Company), assets (other than a dividend payable in Series D Preferred Stock, but
including any dividend payable in stock other than Series D Preferred Stock), or
subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11(b)),
the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by
multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current per share market
price of the Series D Preferred Stock (as defined in Section 11(d)) on such
record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the
Board, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the
Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes) of the portion of the
cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such
subscription rights or warrants applicable to a share of Series D Preferred
Stock and the denominator of which shall be such current per share market price
of the Series D Preferred Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is
not so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price
which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

     (d) (i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current market
price" of the Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily closing prices per share of such Common Stock for the 30 consecutive
Trading Days (as defined herein) immediately prior to but not including such
date, and for purposes of computations made pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii)
hereof, the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on any date shall
be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of Common
Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following but not
including such date; provided, however, that in the event that the current
                     --------  -------                                    
market price of the Common Stock is determined during a period following the
announcement by the issuer of such Common Stock of (i) a dividend or
distribution on such Common Stock payable in shares of such Common Stock or
securities convertible into such Common Stock (other than the Rights), or (ii)
any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Common Stock, and prior
to the expiration of the requisite thirty (30) Trading Day or ten (10) Trading
Day period, as set forth above, after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or
distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or
reclassification, then, and in each such case, the "current market price" shall
be appropriately adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading.  The closing
price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no
such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated
<PAGE>
 
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to
trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of Common Stock are not
listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the
principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities
listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of
Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if the shares of Common Stock
are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low
asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or such
other system then in use, or, if on any such date the shares of Common Stock are
not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the shares
of Common Stock selected by the Board.  If on any such date no market maker is
making a market in the Common Stock, the fair value of such shares on such date
as determined in good faith by the Board shall be used.  The term "Trading Day"
shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which
the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading is open for the
transaction of business, or, if the shares of Common Stock are not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the term "Trading Day"
shall mean a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on which banking or
trust institutions in the State of New York are not authorized or obligated by
law or executive order to close.  If the Common Stock is not publicly held or
not listed or traded, "current market price" shall mean the fair value per share
as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be described
in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all
purposes.

          (ii) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current market
price" per share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be determined in the same
manner as set forth above for the Common Stock in clause (i) of this Section
11(d) (other than the last sentence thereof).  If the current market price per
share of Series D Preferred Stock cannot be determined in the manner provided
above or if the Series D Preferred Stock is not publicly held or listed or
traded in a manner described in clause (i) of this Section 11(d), the "current
market price" per share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be conclusively deemed
to be an amount equal to 1,000 (as such number may be appropriately adjusted for
such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect
to the Common Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement) multiplied by
the current market price per share of the Common Stock.  If neither the Common
Stock nor the Series D Preferred Stock is publicly held or so listed or traded,
"current market price" per share of the Series D Preferred Stock shall mean the
fair value per share as determined in good faith by the Board, whose
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and
shall be conclusive for all purposes.  For all purposes of this Agreement, the
"current market price" of one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred
Stock shall be equal to the "current market price" of one share of Series D
Preferred Stock divided by 1,000.

     (e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the
Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such price; provided,
                                                                 -------- 
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11(e) are not
- -------                                                                    
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to
the nearest cent or 
<PAGE>
 
to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share of Common Stock or other share or one
one-millionth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), an adjustment required
by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years
from the date of the transaction which requires such adjustment or (ii) the
Expiration Date.

     (f) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) or
Section 13(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become
entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Series
D Preferred Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon
exercise of any Right and the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock
contained in Sections 11(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k) and (m), and
the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof with respect to the Series
D Preferred Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

     (g) All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any
adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to
purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of one one-thousandths of a
share of Series D Preferred Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon
exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

     (h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in
Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the
calculations made in Sections 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to
purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of one one-thousandths of
a share of Series D Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest one one-
millionth) obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of one one-thousandths of
a share covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase
Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.

     (i) The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the
Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights, in lieu of any adjustment in the
number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock issuable
upon the exercise of a Right.  Each of the Rights outstanding after such
adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of one
one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock for which a Right was
exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment.  Each Right held of record
prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of
Rights (calculated to the nearest ten-thousandth) obtained by dividing the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price
by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase
Price.  The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust
the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if
known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made.  This record date
may be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter,
but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least ten (10)
<PAGE>
 
days later than the date of the public announcement.  If Rights Certificates
have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this
Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be
distributed to holders of record of Rights Certificates on such record date
Rights Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional
Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment,
or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders
of record in substitution and replacement for the Rights Certificates held by
such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if
required by the Company, new Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to
which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment.  Rights Certificates
so to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner
provided for herein (and may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted
Purchase Price) and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of
Rights Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement.

     (j) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the
number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and
thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price per one one-
thousandth of a share and the number of one one-thousandths of a share which
were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.

     (k) Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the
Purchase Price below the then-par value, if any, of the number of one one-
thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable such number of one one-thousandths of a
share of Series D Preferred Stock at such adjusted Purchase Price.

     (l) In any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment
in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified
event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the
issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date the number
of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock and other capital
stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and
above the number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D Preferred Stock
and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such
exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment;
provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or
- --------  -------                                                             
other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such
additional shares (fractional or otherwise) or securities upon the occurrence of
the event requiring such adjustment.

     (m) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in
addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to
the extent that the Board in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable
in order that any (i) consolidation or subdivision of the Series D Preferred
Stock, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock
at less than the current market price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of shares
of Series D Preferred Stock 
<PAGE>
 
or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for
Series D Preferred Stock, (iv) stock dividends or (v) issuance of rights,
options or warrants referred to hereinabove in this Section 11, hereafter made
by the Company to holders of its Series D Preferred Stock shall not be taxable
to such stockholders.

     (n) The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not, at any time after
the Distribution Date, (i) consolidate with any other Person (other than a
Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o)
hereof), (ii) merge with or into any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of
the Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), or (iii)
sell or transfer (or permit any Subsidiary to sell or transfer), in one
transaction, or a series of related transactions, assets or earning power
aggregating more than 50% of the assets or earning power of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the
Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which
complies with Section 11(o) hereof), if (x) at the time of or immediately after
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer there are any rights, warrants or
other instruments or securities outstanding or agreements in effect which would
substantially diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be
afforded by the Rights or (y) prior to, simultaneously with or immediately after
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, the stockholders of the Person who
constitutes, or would constitute, the "Principal Party" for purposes of Section
13(a) hereof shall have received a distribution of Rights previously owned by
such Person or any of its Affiliates and Associates.

     (o) The Company covenants and agrees that, after the Distribution Date, it
will not, except as permitted by Section 23 or Section 27 hereof, take (or
permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it
is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or
otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.

     (p) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event that the Company shall at any time after the Rights Dividend Declaration
Date and prior to the Distribution Date (i) declare a dividend on the
outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number
of Rights associated with each share of Common Stock then outstanding, or issued
or delivered thereafter but prior to the Distribution Date, shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the number of Rights thereafter associated with
each share of Common Stock following any such event shall equal the result
obtained by multiplying the number of Rights associated with each share of
Common Stock immediately prior to such event by a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the occurrence of the event and the denominator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
following the occurrence of such event.

Section 12.    Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares.

     Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Sections 11 or 13 hereof, the
Company 
<PAGE>
 
shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a
brief statement of the facts and computations accounting for such adjustment,
(b) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the
Series D Preferred Stock and the Common Stock a copy of such certificate and (c)
mail or deliver a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Rights Certificate
(or, if prior to the Distribution Date, to each holder of a certificate
representing shares of Common Stock) in accordance with Section 25 hereof. The
Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on
any adjustment therein contained and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate.

Section 13.  Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning
Power.

     (a) Subject to Section 23 of this Agreement, in the event that, following
the Stock Acquisition Date, directly or indirectly, (x) the Company shall
consolidate with, or merge with and into, any other Person (other than a
Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o)
hereof), and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of
such consolidation or merger, (y) any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the
Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof) shall
consolidate with, or merge with or into, the Company, and the Company shall be
the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger and, in
connection with such consolidation or merger, all or part of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other
securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (z) the Company
shall sell or otherwise transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell
or otherwise transfer), in one transaction or a series of related transactions,
assets or earning power aggregating more than 50% of the assets or earning power
of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any Person or Persons
(other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in one or more
transactions each of which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), then, and in
each such case (except as may be contemplated by Section 13(d) hereof), proper
provision shall be made so that:  (i) each holder of a Right, except as provided
in Section 7(e) hereof, shall, upon the expiration of the Redemption Period (as
defined in Section 23(a)), thereafter have the right to receive, upon the
exercise thereof at the then current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, such number of validly authorized and issued, fully paid,
non-assessable and freely tradable shares of Common Stock of the Principal Party
(as defined herein), not subject to any liens, encumbrances, rights of first
refusal or other adverse claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by (1)
multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of one one-thousandths
of a share of Series D Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable
immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event (or, if a
Section 11(a)(ii) Event has occurred prior to the first occurrence of a Section
13 Event, multiplying the number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D
Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first
occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such first  occurrence), and (2) dividing that product
(which product, following the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event, shall be
referred to as the "Purchase Price" for each Right and for all purposes of this
Agreement) by 50% of the current market price per share of the shares of Common
Stock of such Principal Party on the date of 
<PAGE>
 
consummation of such Section 13 Event (or the fair market value on such date of
other securities or property of the Principal Party, as provided for herein);
(ii) such Principal Party shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by
virtue of such Section 13 Event, all the obligations and duties of the Company
pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the term "Company" shall thereafter be deemed
to refer to such Principal Party, it being specifically intended that the
provisions of Section 11 hereof (other than Sections 11(a)(ii) and 11(a)(iii))
shall apply only to such Principal Party following the first occurrence of a
Section 13 Event; (iv) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including,
but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of shares of its
Common Stock) in connection with the consummation of any such transaction as may
be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to its shares of Common
Stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights; and (v) the
provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) and Section 11(a)(iii) hereof shall be of no
effect following the first occurrence of any Section 13 Event.

(b)  "Principal Party" shall mean

            (i) in the case of any transaction described in clause (x) or (y) of
            the first sentence of Section 13(a), the Person that is the issuer
            of any securities into which shares of Common Stock of the Company
            are converted in such merger or consolidation, and if no securities
            are so issued, the Person that is the other party to such merger or
            consolidation; and

            (ii) in the case of any transaction described in clause (z) of the
            first sentence of Section 13(a), the Person that is the party
            receiving the greatest portion of the assets or earning power
            transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions;

provided, however, that in any such case, (1) if the Common Stock of such Person
          -------                                                               
is not at such time and has not been continuously over the preceding twelve (12)
month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and such Person is
a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person the Common Stock of which is
and has been so registered, "Principal Party" shall refer to such other Person;
and (2) in case such Person is a Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of more
than one Person, the Common Stocks of two or more of which are and have been so
registered, "Principal Party" shall refer to whichever of such Persons is the
issuer of the Common Stock having the greatest aggregate market value.

     (c) The Company shall not consummate any Section 13 Event unless the
Principal Party shall have a sufficient number of authorized shares of its
Common Stock which have not been issued or reserved for issuance to permit the
exercise in full of the 
<PAGE>
 
Rights in accordance with this Section 13 and unless prior thereto the Company
and such Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a
supplemental agreement providing for the terms set forth in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 13 and further providing that, as soon as practicable after
the date of any such Section 13 Event, the Principal Party will:

               (i) prepare and file a registration statement under the
               Securities Act, with respect to the Rights and the securities
               purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form,
               and will use its best efforts to cause such registration
               statement to (A) become effective as soon as practicable after
               such filing and (B) remain effective (with a prospectus at all
               times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the
               Expiration Date;

               (ii) deliver to holders of the Rights historical financial
               statements for the Principal Party and each of its Affiliates
               which comply in all respects with the requirements for
               registration on Form 10 under the Exchange Act;

               (iii) use its best efforts to obtain any necessary regulatory
               approvals in respect of the securities purchasable upon exercise
               of outstanding Rights; and

               (iv) use its best efforts, if such Common Stock of the Principal
               Party shall be listed or admitted to trading on the New York
               Stock Exchange or on another national securities exchange, to
               list or admit to trading (or continue the listing of) the Rights
               and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on the
               New York Stock Exchange or such securities exchange, or, if the
               securities of the Principal Party purchasable upon exercise of
               the Rights shall not be listed or admitted to trading on the New
               York Stock Exchange or a national securities exchange, to cause
               the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the
               Rights to be reported by such other system then in use.

The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or
consolidations or sales or other transfers.  In the event that a Section 13
Event shall occur at any time after the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event,
the Rights which have not theretofore been exercised shall thereafter become
exercisable in the manner described in Section 13(a) hereof.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 13
shall not be applicable to a transaction described in subparagraphs (x) and (y)
of Section 13(a) if (i) such transaction is consummated with a Person or Persons
(or a wholly owned subsidiary of any such Person or Persons) who acquired shares
of Common Stock pursuant to a cash tender offer for all 
<PAGE>
 
outstanding shares of Common Stock which complies with the provisions of Section
11(a)(ii) hereof, (ii) the price per share of Common Stock offered in such
transaction is not less than the price per share of Common Stock paid to all
holders of Common Stock whose shares were purchased pursuant to such cash tender
offer and (iii) the form of consideration being offered to the remaining holders
of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such transaction is the same as the form
of consideration paid pursuant to such cash tender offer. Upon consummation of
any such transaction contemplated by this Section 13(d), all Rights hereunder
shall expire.

Section 14.    Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.

     (a)  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights except
prior to the Distribution Date as provided in Section 11(p) hereof, or to
distribute Rights Certificates which evidence fractional Rights.  In lieu of
such fractional Rights, there shall be paid to the registered holders of the
Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise
be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market
value of the whole Right.  For the purposes of this Section 14(a), the current
market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would
have been otherwise issuable.  The closing price for any day shall be the last
sale price, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the
high bid and low asked prices, in either case as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York
Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting
system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities
exchange on which the Rights are listed or admitted to trading, or such other
system then in use or, if on any such date the Rights are not quoted by any such
organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a
professional market maker making a market in the Rights selected by the Board.
If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Rights the
fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith by the Board
shall be used.  In the event the Rights are listed or admitted to trading on a
national securities exchange, the closing price for any day shall be the last
sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the
average of the high bid and low asked prices, regular way, in either case as
reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect
to the national securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or admitted
to trading.

     (b) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock (other than fractions which are integral multiples of
one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock) upon exercise of the
Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares of Series
D Preferred Stock (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-
thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock).  In lieu of fractional
shares of Series D Preferred Stock that are not integral multiples of one one-
thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company may pay to the
registered holders of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised
as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current
market value of one one-thousandth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock.  For
purposes of this Section 14(b), the current market value of one one-thousandth
of a share of 
<PAGE>
 
Series D Preferred Stock shall be one one-thousandth of the closing price of a
share of Series D Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(ii)
hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

     (c) Following the occurrence of one of the events specified in Section 11
giving rise to the right to receive Common Stock, Stock Equivalents or other
securities upon the exercise of a Right, the Company shall not be required to
issue fractions of shares of Common Stock, Stock Equivalents or other securities
upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence
fractional shares of Common Stock, Stock Equivalents or other securities.  In
lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, Stock Equivalents or other securities
the Company may pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates at the time
such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same
fraction of the current market value of one (1) share of Common Stock, Stock
Equivalents or other securities.  For purposes of this Section 14(c), the
current market value of one share of Common Stock shall be the closing price of
one share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) hereof)
for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

     (d) The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Rights expressly waives
his right to receive any fractional Rights or any fractional shares upon
exercise of a Right, except as permitted by this Section 14.

Section 15.    Rights of Action.

     All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, except the rights of
action vested in the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 18 and Section 19 hereof,
are vested in the respective registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and,
prior to the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common Stock); and
any registered holder of any Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution
Date, of the Common Stock), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the
holder of any other Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of
the Common Stock), may, in his own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce, and
may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to
enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, his right to exercise the Rights
evidenced by such Rights Certificate in the manner provided in such Rights
Certificate and in this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing or any
remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged
that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any
breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the
obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations
of, the obligations hereunder of any Person subject to this Agreement.

Section 16.    Agreement of Rights Holders.

     Every holder of a Right by accepting the same consents and agrees with the
Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that:

     (a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in
connection 
<PAGE>
 
with the transfer of the Common Stock;

     (b) after the Distribution Date, the Rights Certificates are transferable
only on the registry books of the Rights Agent if surrendered at the office of
the Rights Agent designated for such purposes, duly endorsed or accompanied by a
proper instrument of transfer and with the appropriate form of assignment and
the certificate contained therein duly completed and executed;

     (c) subject to Section 6(a) and Section 7(f) hereof, the Company and the
Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Rights Certificate
(or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Stock certificate) is
registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Rights
Certificates or the associated Common Stock certificate made by anyone other
than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither
the Company nor the Rights Agent, subject to the last sentence of Section 7(e)
hereof, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and

     (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the
Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right
or other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or
other order, decree, judgment or ruling (whether interlocutory or final) issued
by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or
administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or
executive order promulgated or enacted by any government authority, prohibiting
or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation; provided, however, the
                                                         --------  -------     
Company must use its best efforts to have any such order, decree or ruling
lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as possible.

Section 17.    Rights Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.

     No holder, as such, of any Rights Certificate shall be entitled to vote,
receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Series D
Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be
issuable on the exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything
contained herein or in any Rights Certificate be construed to confer upon the
holder of any Rights Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of
the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any
matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold
consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other
actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in Section 25 hereof), or to
receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or
Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate shall have been exercised in
accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 18.    Duties of Rights Agent.

     The Rights Agent undertakes only the duties and obligations expressly
imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of
which the Company and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance
thereof, shall be bound:
<PAGE>
 
     (a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal
counsel for the Company), and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the
Rights Agent shall incur no liability, for or in respect of any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

     (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the
Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter
(including, without limitation, the identity of any Acquiring Person and the
determination of "current market price") be proved or established by the Company
prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact
or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
certificate signed by any person believed by the Rights Agent to be any one of
the Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President,
the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent;
and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent, and the
Rights Agent shall incur no liability, for or in respect of any action taken,
omitted or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement
in reliance upon such certificate.

     (c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross
negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct.

     (d) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the
statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Rights
Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereof) or be required to
verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to
have been made by the Company only.

     (e) The Rights Agent is serving as an administrative agent and shall not be
under any responsibility in respect of, the validity of any provision of this
Agreement or the execution and delivery of this Agreement (except the due
execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution
of any Rights Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be
responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained
in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for
any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including the Rights becoming
null and void pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof) or any adjustment required under
any of the provisions hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of
any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would
require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights
evidenced by Rights Certificates after actual notice of any such adjustment);
nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or
warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock or
shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or
any Rights Certificate or as to whether any shares of Common Stock or shares of
Series D Preferred Stock will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.

     (f) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and
deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such
further and other acts, 
<PAGE>
 
instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for
the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this
Agreement.

     (g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any
person believed by the Rights Agent to be any one of the Chairman of the Board,
the President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, the Secretary or the
Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any
action taken, omitted to be taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any delay in acting
while awaiting instructions.  Any application by the Rights Agent for written
instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth
in writing any action proposed to be taken, suffered or omitted by the Rights
Agent under this Agreement and the date on or after which such action shall be
taken or suffered or such omission shall be effective.  The Rights Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken or suffered by, or omission of, the Rights
Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after
the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five
Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such
application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an
earlier date) unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in
the case of an omission), the Rights Agent shall have received written
instruction in response to such application specifying the action to be taken,
suffered or omitted.

     (h) The Rights Agent and any stockholder, affiliate, director, officer or
employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other
securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in
which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the
Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent
under this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from
acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person or legal
entity.

     (i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers
hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through
its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or
accountable for any act, default, neglect, or misconduct of any such attorneys
or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default,
neglect, or misconduct; provided, however, the Rights Agent was not grossly
negligent in the selection and continued employment thereof.

     (j) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if
there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

     (k) If, with respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights
Agent for exercise or transfer, the certificate attached to the form of
assignment or form of election to purchase, as the case may be, has either not
been properly completed or indicates an affirmative response to clause 1 and/or
2 thereof, the Rights Agent shall not take any further action with 
<PAGE>
 
respect to such requested exercise of transfer without first consulting with the
Company.

     (l) The Rights Agent undertakes only the express duties and obligations
imposed on it by this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent.

Section 19.    Compensation and Indemnification of the Rights Agent.

     (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of
the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other
disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and
the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.  The Company also agrees
to indemnify the Rights Agent, its officers, employees, agents and directors
for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense,
incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part
of the Rights Agent, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Rights
Agent or such other indemnified party in connection with the acceptance and
administration of this Agreement and the exercise of its duties hereunder,
including but not limited to the costs and expenses of defending against any
claim of liability in the premises.  The indemnity provided for hereunder shall
survive the expiration of the Rights and the termination of this Agreement.

     (b) The Rights Agent shall be authorized and protected and shall incur no
liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
connection with its administration of this Agreement or the exercise of its
duties hereunder in reliance upon any Rights Certificate or certificate for
Common Stock or for other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or
transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction,
consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or
acknowledged, by the proper person or persons.

     (c) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event
shall the Rights Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even
if the Rights Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of the action unless such loss or damage results from
the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Rights Agent.

Section 20.    Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.

     (a) Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent
may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from
any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the shareholder services
business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the
successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto;
provided, however, that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a
- --------  -------                                                         
successor Rights 
<PAGE>
 
Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof.

     (b) In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and
at any such time any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned
but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its
prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that
time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the
Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name
or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall
have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

Section 21.    Change of Rights Agent.

     (a) The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be
discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' notice in
writing mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock and
the Series D Preferred Stock by registered or certified mail, and to the holders
of the Rights Certificates by first-class mail.  The Company may remove the
Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice in
writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may
be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock
by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates
by first-class mail.  If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall
otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to
the Rights Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a
period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has
been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall,
with such notice, submit his Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company),
then the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent.  Any successor
Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be (i)
a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of
the State of Maryland or New York (or of any other state of the United States so
long as such Person is authorized to do business in the State of Maryland or New
York), in good standing, having an office in the State of Maryland or New York
which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power and is
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which
has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100 million or (ii) an Affiliate of such a Person described
in clause (a).  After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested
with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been
originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the
predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights
Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any
further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.  Not later
than the effective date of any such appointment the Company shall file notice
thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of
the Common Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, and mail a notice thereof in
writing to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates.  Failure to give
any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the
Rights 
<PAGE>
 
Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may
be.

     (b) In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the
agency created by this Agreement, any of the Rights Certificates shall have been
countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the
countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights
Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights
Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may
countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor
Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases
such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights
Certificates and in this Agreement.

Section 22.    Issuance of New Rights Certificates.

     Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Rights to
the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Rights Certificates
evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by the Board to reflect any
adjustment or change in the Purchase Price per share and the number or kind of
class of shares or other securities or property purchasable under the Rights
Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  In
addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
following the Distribution Date (other than upon exercise of a Right) and prior
to the redemption or expiration of the Rights, the Company (a) shall, with
respect to shares of Common Stock so issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of
stock options or under any employee plan or arrangement, or upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of securities hereinafter issued by the Company, and (b)
may, in any other case, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board, issue
Rights Certificates representing the appropriate number of Rights in connection
with such issuance or sale; provided, however, that (i) no such Rights
                            --------  -------                         
Certificate shall be issued if, and to the extent that, the Company shall be
advised by counsel that such issuance would create a significant risk of
material adverse tax consequences to the Company or the Person to whom such
Rights Certificate would be issued, and (ii) no such Rights Certificate shall be
issued if, and to the extent that, appropriate adjustment shall otherwise have
been made in lieu of the issuance thereof.

Section 23.    Redemption.

     (a) The Board may, at its option, at any time during the period commencing
on the Rights Dividend Declaration Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the
Close of Business on the tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date (or, if
the Stock Acquisition Date shall have occurred prior to the Record Date, the
Close of Business on the tenth day following the Record Date), as such period
may be extended or shortened in the discretion of the Board (the "Redemption
Period") or (ii) the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, cause the
Company to redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a
redemption price of $.005 per Right, as such amount may be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction
occurring after the date hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter
referred to as the "Redemption Price"); provided, however, that, if the Board
                                        --------  -------                    
authorizes redemption of the Rights or a change in the Redemption Period on or
after the time a 
<PAGE>
 
Person becomes an Acquiring Person, then such authorization shall require the
concurrence of two-thirds of the Board. If, following the occurrence of a Stock
Acquisition Date and following the expiration of the Company's right of
redemption hereunder (i) a Person who is an Acquiring Person shall have
transferred or otherwise disposed of a number of shares of Common Stock in one
transaction or series of transactions, not directly or indirectly involving the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which did not result in the occurrence of a
Triggering Event such that such Person is thereafter a Beneficial Owner of 10%
or less of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) there are no other
Persons, immediately following the occurrence of the event described in clause
(i), who are Acquiring Persons, and (iii) the Board, by a vote of two-thirds of
the Board, shall so approve, then the Company's right of redemption shall be
reinstated and thereafter be subject to the provisions of this Section 23.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights
shall not be exercisable after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event
or a Section 13 Event until such time as the Company's right of redemption
hereunder has expired. The Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price
in cash, shares of Common Stock (based on the current market price of the Common
Stock at the time of redemption) or any other form of consideration deemed
appropriate by the Board.

     (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering the redemption of the
Rights, evidence of which shall have been filed with the Rights Agent, and
without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the
Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights
shall be to receive the Redemption Price.  Promptly after the action of the
Board ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of
such redemption to the Rights Agent and the holders of the then outstanding
Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at their last addresses as
they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the
Distribution Date, on the registry books of the Transfer Agent for the Common
Stock.  Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed
given, whether or not the holder receives the notice.  Each such notice of
redemption will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price
will be made.

Section 24.  Exchange.

     (a) The Board may, at its option, at any time after any Person becomes an
Acquiring Person, exchange all or part of the then outstanding and exercisable
Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become null and void pursuant
to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) or Section 7(e) hereof) for shares of
Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right,
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction occurring after the date hereof (such exchange ratio being
hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Ratio").

     (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering the exchange of any
Rights pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 24 and without any further
action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate
and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive
that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such Rights held by
such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  The Company shall promptly 
<PAGE>
 
give public notice of any such exchange; provided, however, that the failure to
give, or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such
exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all
of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the
registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the
notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange
of Common Stock for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial
exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange
shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights
which have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) or
Section 7(e) hereof) held by each holder of Rights.

     (c) In the event that there shall not be sufficient Common Stock issued but
not outstanding or authorized but unissued to permit any exchange of Rights as
contemplated in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all such
action as may be necessary to authorize additional shares of Common Stock for
issuance upon exchange of the Rights.

     (d) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of
Common Stock or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares of
Common Stock.  In lieu of such fractional shares, the Company shall pay to the
registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such
fractional shares would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the
same fraction of the current market value of a whole share of Common Stock.  For
the purposes of this paragraph (d), the current market value of a whole share of
Common Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock (as
determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d) hereof) for the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this Section
24.

Section 25.  Notice of Certain Events.

     (a) In case the Company shall propose, at any time after the Distribution
Date (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of
Series D Preferred Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of
Series D Preferred Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend out of
earnings or retained earnings) or (ii) to offer to the holders of Series D
Preferred Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any
additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock or shares of stock of any class or
any other securities, rights or options, or (iii) to effect any reclassification
of its Series D Preferred Stock (other than a reclassification involving only
the subdivision of outstanding Series D Preferred Stock), or (iv) to effect any
consolidation or merger into or with, or to effect any sale or other transfer
(or to permit one or more of its subsidiaries to effect any sale or other
transfer), in one or more transactions, of more than 50% of the assets or
earning power of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to, any
other Person, or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a
Rights Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with Section 26
hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record date
for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution of rights or warrants, or
the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
<PAGE>
 
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of

Section 27.    Supplements and Amendments.

     Prior to the Distribution Date and subject to the penultimate sentence of
this Section 27, the Company may, and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so
directs, supplement or amend any provision of this Agreement without the
approval of any holders of certificates representing shares of Common Stock.
From and after the Distribution Date and subject to the penultimate sentence of
this Section 27, the Company may, and the Rights Agent shall at any time and
from time to time, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend this Agreement
without the approval of any holders of Rights Certificates in order (i) to cure
any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii)
to shorten or lengthen any time period hereunder or (iv) to change or supplement
the provisions hereunder in any manner which the Company may deem necessary or
desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of
Rights Certificates (other than an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate
of any such Person); provided, however, that this Agreement may not be
                     --------  -------                                
supplemented or amended (A) to lengthen a time period relating to when the
Rights may be redeemed at such time as the Rights are not then redeemable, (B)
to lengthen any other time period unless such lengthening is for the purpose of
protecting, enhancing or clarifying the rights of, and/or the benefits to, the
holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate
of any such Person) or (C) to change any rights or duties of the Rights Agent
under this Agreement without the prior approval of the Rights Agent (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be conclusively evidenced
by the Rights Agent's execution of any such supplement or amendment).  Upon the
delivery of a certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company which
states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms
of this Section 27, the Rights Agent shall execute such supplement or amendment.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no
supplement or amendment shall be made which changes the Redemption Price, the
Final Expiration Date, the number of one one-thousandths of a share of Series D
Preferred Stock for which a Right is exercisable or the Purchase Price;
provided, however, that at any time prior to the Distribution Date, the Company
- --------  -------                                                              
may amend this Agreement to increase the Purchase Price.  Prior to the
Distribution Date, the interests of the holders of Rights shall be deemed
coincident with the interests of the holders of shares of Common Stock.

Section 28.  Successors.

     All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of
the Company or the Rights Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns hereunder.

Section 29.  Determinations and Actions by the Board, etc.

     For all purposes of this Agreement, any calculation of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at any particular time, including for purposes of
determining the particular 
<PAGE>
 
percentage of such outstanding shares of Common Stock of which any Person is the
Beneficial Owner, shall be made in accordance with the last sentence of Rule 
13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act. The
Board (with, where specifically provided for herein, the concurrence of two-
thirds of the Directors) shall have the exclusive power and authority to
administer this Agreement and to exercise all rights and powers specifically
granted to the Board (with, where specifically provided for herein, the
concurrence of two-thirds of the Directors) or to the Company, or as may be
necessary or advisable in the administration of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the right and power to (i) interpret the provisions of this
Agreement, and (ii) make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for
the administration of this Agreement (including without limitation a
determination to redeem or not redeem the Rights or to amend the Agreement). All
such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations (including, for
purposes of clause (y) below, all omissions with respect to the foregoing) which
are done or made by the Board (with, where specifically provided for herein, the
concurrence of two-thirds of the Directors) in good faith, shall (x) be final,
conclusive and binding on the Company, the Rights Agent, the holders of the
Rights and all other Persons, and (y) not subject any director to any liability
to the holders of the Rights.

Section 30.  Benefits of this Agreement.

     Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other
than the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered holders of the Rights
Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the
Common Stock) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
Company, the Rights Agent and the registered holders of the Rights Certificates
(and, prior to the Distribution Date, registered holders of Common Stock).

Section 31.  Severability.

     If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, however, that
                                                --------  -------      
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any such term,
provision, covenant or restriction is held by such court or authority to be
invalid, void or unenforceable and the Board determines in its good faith
judgment that severing the invalid language from this Agreement would materially
and adversely affect the purpose or effect of this Agreement, the right of
redemption set forth in Section 23 hereof shall be reinstated and shall not
expire until the Close of Business on the tenth day following the date of such
determination by the Board.

Section 32.    Governing Law.

     This Agreement, each Right and each Rights Certificate issued hereunder
shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Maryland
and for all purposes shall be 
<PAGE>
 
governed by and construed in accordance with laws of such State.

Section 33.    Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts.  It shall not
be necessary that the signature of or on behalf of each party appears on each
counterpart, but it shall be sufficient that the signature of or on behalf of
each party appears on one or more of the counterparts.  All counterparts shall
collectively constitute a single agreement.  It shall not be necessary in any
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.

Section 34.    Descriptive Headings.

     Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction
of any of the provisions hereof.

Section 35.    Limitation of Ownership.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Person's
ability to acquire shares of Series D Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock of the
Company under this Agreement shall be limited to only such number of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock, as the case may be, as would not
cause any such Person or any other Person (taking into account the attribution
rules of the Internal Revenue Code) to exceed the ownership limits set forth in
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.
