     We refer to (1) Highwoods Properties, Inc. as the "Company," (2) Highwoods
Realty Limited Partnership (formerly Highwoods/Forsyth Limited Partnership) as
the "Operating Partnership," (3) the Company's common stock as "Common Stock"
and (4) the Operating Partnership's common partnership interests as "Common
Units."


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

     The Company is a self-administered and self-managed equity REIT that began
operations through a predecessor in 1978. Originally founded to oversee the
development, leasing and management of the 201-acre Highwoods Office Center in
Raleigh, North Carolina, we have since evolved into one of the largest owners
and operators of suburban office, industrial and retail properties in the
southeastern and midwestern United States. At December 31, 1998, we

   o owned or had a majority interest in 658 in-service office, industrial and
     retail properties, encompassing approximately 44.6 million rentable square
     feet and 2,325 apartment units;

   o owned an interest (50% or less) in 18 in-service office and industrial
     properties, encompassing approximately 1.6 million rentable square feet;

   o owned 1,417 acres (and had agreed to purchase an additional 626 acres) of
     undeveloped land suitable for future development; and

   o were developing an additional 59 properties, which will encompass
     approximately 6.9 million rentable square feet.

     The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through, and
substantially all of its interests in the properties are held directly or
indirectly by, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 1998, the Company owned
86% of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners
(including certain officers and directors of the Company) own the remaining
Common Units. Holders of Common Units may redeem them for the cash value of one
share of the Company's Common Stock or, at the Company's option, one share
(subject to certain adjustments) of Common Stock.

     We also provide leasing, property management, real estate development,
construction and miscellaneous services for our properties as well as for third
parties. We conduct our third-party, fee-based services through Highwoods
Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and through
Highwoods/Tennessee Properties, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 

     The Company was incorporated in Maryland in 1994. The Operating
Partnership was formed in North Carolina in 1994. Our executive offices are
located at 3100 Smoketree Court, Suite 600, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604, and
our telephone number is (919) 872-4924. We maintain offices in each of our
primary markets.


Operating Strategy

     Diversification. Since the Company's initial public offering in 1994, we
have significantly reduced our dependence on any particular market, property
type or tenant. For example, our in-service portfolio has expanded from 41
North Carolina office properties (40 of which were in the Research Triangle
area of North Carolina) to 676 office, industrial and retail properties and
2,325 apartment units in 20 markets in the Southeast and Midwest.

     Development and Acquisition Opportunities. We generally seek to engage in
the development of office and industrial projects in our existing geographic
markets, primarily in suburban business parks. We intend to focus our
development efforts on build-to-suit projects and projects where we have
identified sufficient demand. In build-to-suit development, the building is
significantly pre-leased to one


                                       3
<PAGE>

or more tenants prior to construction. Build-to-suit projects often foster
strong long-term relationships with tenants, creating future development
opportunities as the facility needs of tenants increase. We believe our
commercially zoned and unencumbered development land in existing business parks
is an advantage we have over many of our competitors in pursuing development
opportunities.

     We also seek to acquire selective suburban office and industrial
properties in our existing geographic markets at prices below replacement cost
that offer attractive returns. These would include acquisitions of
underperforming, high-quality properties in our existing markets that offer us
opportunities to improve such properties' operating performance.

     Managed Growth Strategy. Our strategy has been to focus our real estate
activities in markets where we believe our extensive local knowledge gives us a
competitive advantage over other real estate developers and operators. As we
expanded into new markets, we continued to maintain this localized approach by
combining with local real estate operators with many years of development and
management experience in their respective markets. Approximately three-quarters
of our properties were either developed by us or are managed on a day-to-day
basis by personnel who previously managed, leased and/or developed those
properties before their acquisition by us.

     Our development and acquisition activities also benefit from our local
market presence and knowledge. Our property-level officers have on average more
than 20 years of real estate experience in their respective markets. Because of
this experience, we are in a better position to evaluate acquisition and
development opportunities. In addition, our relationships with our tenants and
those tenants at properties for which we conduct third-party, fee-based
services may lead to development projects when these tenants seek new space.

     Efficient, Customer Service-Oriented Organization. We provide a complete
line of real estate services to our tenants and third parties. We believe that
our in-house development, acquisition, construction management, leasing and
management services allow us to respond to the many demands of our existing and
potential tenant base. We provide our tenants cost-effective services such as
build-to-suit construction and space modification, including tenant
improvements and expansions. In addition, the breadth of our capabilities and
resources provides us with market information not generally available. We
believe that the operating efficiencies achieved through our fully integrated
organization also provide a competitive advantage in setting our lease rates
and pricing other services.

     Flexible and Conservative Capital Structure. We are committed to
maintaining a flexible and conservative capital structure that: (1) allows
growth through development and acquisition opportunities; (2) promotes future
earnings growth; and (3) provides access to the private and public equity and
debt markets on favorable terms. Accordingly, we expect to meet our long-term
liquidity requirements, including funding our existing and future development
activity, through a combination of:

     o borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility;

     o the issuance of unsecured debt securities;

     o borrowings of secured debt;

     o the issuance of equity securities by both the Company and the Operating
       Partnership;

     o the selective disposition of non-core assets; and

     o the sale or contribution of certain of our wholly owned properties to
       strategic joint ventures to be formed with selected institutional
       investors.

     J.C. Nichols Transaction. On July 13, 1998, we completed our previously
reported merger with J.C. Nichols Company, a Missouri real estate operating
company, pursuant to a merger agreement dated December 22, 1997, and amended on
April 29, 1998. Prior to consummation of the transaction, J.C. Nichols had been
subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and, in accordance therewith, filed reports and other information with the SEC.
As a result of the transaction, we own or have an ownership interest in 57
office, industrial and retail properties and 17 multifamily communities in the
Kansas City metropolitan area. Also as a result of the transaction, we have an
ownership interest in 22 office and industrial properties and one multifamily
community in the Des Moines, Iowa, area.

     Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common stock, $.01 par value, of J.C. Nichols. Under the merger
agreement, J.C. Nichols shareholders were entitled to receive either 2.03
shares of the Company's Common Stock or $65 in cash for each share of J.C.
Nichols common stock. However, the merger agreement limited the aggregate cash
payment to J.C.

Nichols shareholders to 40% of the total consideration. The exchange ratio
reflects the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock over the 20
trading days preceding the closing date of the transaction. The transaction was
valued at approximately $544 million and consisted of the issuance of
approximately 5.63 million shares of the Company's Common Stock, the assumption
of approximately $229 million of debt, the incurrence of approximately $15
million in transaction costs and a cash payment of approximately $120 million,
net of cash acquired of approximately $59 million.

Development Land

     As of December 31, 1998, we owned 1,417 acres and had committed to
purchase over the next four years an additional 626 acres of land for
development. We estimate that we can develop approximately 22 million square
feet of office, industrial and retail space on the development land.

     All of the development land is zoned and available for office, industrial
or retail development, substantially all of which has utility infrastructure
already in place. We believe that our commercially zoned and unencumbered land
in existing business parks gives us an advantage in our future development
activities over other commercial real estate development companies in many of
our markets. Any future development, however, is dependent on the demand for
industrial or office space in the area, the availability of favorable financing
and other factors, and no assurance can be given that any construction will
take place on the development land. In addition, if construction is undertaken
on the development land, we will be subject to the risks associated with
construction activities, including the risk that occupancy rates and rents at a
newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable,
construction costs may exceed original estimates and construction and lease-up
may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense
and construction expense.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On October 2, 1998, John Flake, a former stockholder of J.C. Nichols,
filed a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and the other former
stockholders of J.C. Nichols in the United States District Court for the
District of Kansas against J.C. Nichols, certain of its former officers and
directors and the Company. The complaint alleges, among other things, that in
connection with the merger of J.C. Nichols and the Company, (1) J.C. Nichols
and the named directors and officers of J.C. Nichols breached their fiduciary
duties to J.C. Nichols' stockholders, (2) J.C. Nichols and the named directors
and officers of J.C. Nichols breached their fiduciary duties to members of the
J.C. Nichols Company Employee Stock Ownership Trust, (3) all defendants
participated in the dissemination of a proxy statement containing materially
false and misleading statements and omissions of material facts in violation of
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and (4) the Company filed a
registration statement with the SEC containing materially false and misleading
statements and omissions of material facts in violation of Sections 11 and
12(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The plaintiffs seek equitable relief and
monetary damages. We believe that the defendants have meritorious defenses to
the plaintiffs' allegations. We intend to vigorously defend this litigation and
have filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted against the defendants. Due
to the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process and the judicial
system, we are not able to predict the outcome of this litigation. If this
litigation is not resolved in our favor, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     In addition, we are a party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of our business. We believe that we are adequately covered
by insurance and indemnification agreements. Accordingly, none of such
proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information and Dividends

     The Common Stock has been traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
under the symbol "HIW" since the Company's initial public offering. The
following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices per share
reported on the NYSE for the quarters indicated and the distributions paid per
share during such quarter.

</TABLE>

- ----------
     On March 19, 1999, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the
NYSE was $23.19 per share. On March 19, 1999, the Company had 1,429
stockholders of record.

     The Company intends to continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to
holders of shares of Common Stock and holders of Common Units. Although the
Company intends to maintain its current distribution rate, future distributions
by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will
depend on the actual funds from operations of the Company, its financial
condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the
REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and such other factors as
the Board of Directors deems relevant.

     During 1998, the Company's distributions totaled $115,624,000, of which
$13,875,000 represented return of capital for financial statement purposes. The
minimum distribution per share of Common Stock required to maintain REIT status
was approximately $1.62 per share in 1998, $1.56 per share in 1997, $1.44 per
share in 1996 and $1.55 per share in 1995.

     The Company has instituted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
under which holders of Common Stock may elect to automatically reinvest their
distributions in additional shares of Common Stock and may make optional cash
payments for additional shares of Common Stock. The Company may issue
additional shares of Common Stock or repurchase Common Stock in the open market
for purposes of financing its obligations under the Dividend Reinvestment and
Stock Purchase Plan.

     In August 1997, the Company instituted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan for
all active employees. At the end of each three-month offering period, each
participant's account balance is applied to acquire shares of Common Stock at
90% of the market value of the Common Stock, calculated as the lower of the
average closing price on the NYSE on the five consecutive days preceding the
first day of the quarter or the five days preceding the last day of the
quarter. A participant may not invest more than $7,500 per quarter. During
1998, employees purchased 24,046 shares of Common Stock under the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan.


Sales of Unregistered Securities

     On April 1, 1998, the Company issued 13,513 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the merger of Eakin & Smith, Inc. into the Company on April 1,
1996. The shares were issued to three principals of Eakin & Smith, Inc.,
including John W. Eakin, who was an officer and director of the Company. The
shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933 under Rule 506. Each of the three principals of
Eakin & Smith, Inc. is an accredited investor under Rule 501 of the Securities
Act. We exercised reasonable care to assure that the principals were not
purchasing the shares with a view to their distribution.


                                       17
<PAGE>

     During 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of 740,561 shares of Common
Stock to holders of Common Units upon the redemption of such Common Units in
private offerings exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act. Each of the holders of Common Units is an
accredited investor under Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The Company has
registered the resale of such shares under the Securities Act.


ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following table sets forth selected financial and operating
information for the Company as of December 31, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, and for the period
from June 14, 1994 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994. The
following table also sets forth selected financial and operating information on
a historical basis for the Highwoods Group (the predecessor to the Company) for
the period from January 1, 1994, to June 13, 1994. The pro forma operating data
for the year ended December 31, 1994 assumes completion of the initial public
offering and the Formation Transaction (defined below) as of January 1, 1994.

     Due to the impact of the initial formation of the Company and the initial
public offering in 1994, the second and third offerings in 1995 and the
transactions more fully described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis --
Overview and Background," the historical results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and the period from June 14, 1994 to December 31, 1994
may not be comparable to the current period results of operations.

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

Overview and Background

     The Highwoods Group (the predecessor to the Company) was comprised of 13
office properties and one warehouse facility (the "Highwoods-Owned
Properties"), 94 acres of development land and the management, development and
leasing business of Highwoods Properties Company ("HPC"). On June 14, 1994,
following completion of the Company's initial public offering, the Company,
through a business combination involving entities under varying common
ownership, succeeded to the Highwoods-Owned Properties, HPC's real estate
business and 27 additional office properties owned by unaffiliated parties
(such combination being referred to as the "Formation Transaction"). Minority
interest in the Company represents the common partnership interests owned by
various individuals and entities and not the Company in the Operating
Partnership, the entity that owns substantially all of the Company's interests
in the properties and through which the Company, as the sole general partner,
conducts substantially all of its operations. We acquired three additional
properties in 1994 after the Formation Transaction.

     In February 1995, we expanded into other North Carolina markets and
diversified our portfolio to include industrial and service center properties
with our $170 million, 57-property business combination with Forsyth Partners.
During 1995, we acquired an aggregate of 144 properties, encompassing 6,357,000
rentable square feet, at an initial cost of $369.9 million.

     In September 1996, we acquired 5.7 million rentable square feet of office
and service center space through our $566 million merger with Crocker Realty
Trust, Inc. During 1996, we acquired an aggregate of 91 properties,
encompassing 7,325,500 square feet, at an initial cost of $704.0 million.

     In October 1997, we acquired 6.4 million rentable square feet of office
space through our $617 million merger with Associated Capital Properties, Inc.
During 1997, we acquired an aggregate of 176 properties, encompassing 12.8
million rentable square feet, at an initial cost of $1.1 billion.

     During 1998, we acquired an aggregate of 186 properties, encompassing 14.9
million rentable square feet and 2,325 apartment units, at an initial cost of
$1.2 billion. See "Business -- Recent Developments" for a table summarizing all
mergers and acquisitions completed during 1998.

     This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.


Results of Operations

     Comparison of 1998 to 1997. Revenue from rental operations increased
$231.1 million, or 87%, from $266.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1997 to $498.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase is a
result of our acquisition and development activity in 1997 and 1998. In total,
we acquired 186 office, industrial and retail properties, encompassing 14.9
million square feet and 2,325 apartment units during 1998. Same property
revenues, which are the revenues of the 282 in-service properties (encompassing
16.7 million square feet) owned on January 1, 1997 and December 31, 1998,
increased 4.7% for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to the year ended
December 31, 1997.

     During 1998, 1,312 leases, representing 6.4 million square feet of office,
industrial and retail space, were executed at an average rate per square foot
which was 6.8% higher than the average rate per square foot on the expired
leases.

     Interest and other income increased $6.5 million from $7.5 million in 1997
to $14.0 million in 1998. The increase is primarily related to an increase in
interest income as we maintained a higher cash position. We also generated
additional management fees, development fees and leasing commissions in 1998.
The Company generated $650,000 in auxiliary income (vending and parking) as a
result of acquiring multifamily communities in the merger with J.C. Nichols.


                                       20
<PAGE>

     Rental operating expenses increased $77.6 million, or 101.2%, from $76.7
million in 1997 to $154.3 million in 1998. Rental expenses as a percentage of
related rental revenues increased from 28.7% in 1997 to 31.0% in 1998. The
increase is a result of an increase in the percentage of office properties in
the portfolio, which have fewer triple net lease pass-throughs.

     Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 were $91.7 million and $47.5 million, respectively. The increase of $44.2
million, or 93.1%, is due to an average increase in depreciable assets and
deferred leasing costs. Interest expense increased $49.6 million, or 104.6%,
from $47.4 million in 1997 to $97.0 million in 1998. The increase is
attributable to an average increase in outstanding debt related to our
acquisition and development activities. Interest expense for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 included $2.6 million and $2.3 million,
respectively, of amortization of non-cash deferred financing costs and of the
costs related to our interest rate hedge contracts. General and administrative
expenses increased from 3.8% of total rental revenue in 1997 to 4.2% in 1998.

     Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item equaled $150.4
million and $92.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company's net income allocated to the minority interest
totaled $24.3 million and $15.1 million for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
Company incurred an extraordinary loss in the first quarter of 1997 of $3.3
million related to the early extinguishing of debt assumed in the acquisition
of the Anderson Properties and Century Center portfolios. The Company also
recorded $30.1 million and $13.1 million in preferred stock dividends for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Comparison of 1997 to 1996. Revenue from rental operations increased
$136.1 million, or 104.1%, from $130.8 million in 1996 to $266.9 million in
1997. The increase is primarily a result of revenue from newly acquired and
developed properties as well as acquisitions completed in 1996 which only
contributed partially in 1996. Interest and other income increased 5.6% from
$7.1 million in 1996 to $7.5 million in 1997. Lease termination fees and
third-party income accounted for a majority of such income in 1997 while excess
cash invested in 1996 from two offerings of Common Stock during the summer of
1996, raising total net proceeds of approximately $293 million, accounted for a
majority of such income in 1996.

     Rental operating expenses increased $41.4 million, or 117.3%, from $35.3
million in 1996 to $76.7 million in 1997. The increase is due to the net
addition of 13.3 million square feet to the in-service portfolio in 1997 as
well as acquisitions completed in 1996 which only contributed partially in
1996. Rental expenses as a percentage of related rental revenues increased from
27.0% for the year ended December 31, 1996, to 28.7% for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The increase is a result of an increase in the percentage of
office properties in the portfolio, which have fewer triple net lease
pass-throughs.

     Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996 was $47.5 million and $22.1 million, respectively. The increase of $25.4
million, or 114.9%, is due to an average increase in depreciable assets of
103.5%. Interest expense increased 78.2%, or $20.8 million, from $26.6 million
in 1996 to $47.4 million in 1997. The increase is attributable to the increase
in outstanding debt related to our acquisition and development activity.
Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 included $2.3
million and $1.9 million, respectively, of non-cash deferred financing costs
and amortization of the costs related to our interest rate hedge contracts.

     General and administrative expenses decreased from 4.3% of rental revenue
in 1996 to 3.8% in 1997. The decrease is attributable to the realization of
synergies from our growth in 1997. Duplication of personnel costs in the third
quarter of 1996 related to the acquisition of Crocker Realty Trust also
contributed to the higher general and administrative expenses in the prior
year.

     Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item equaled $92.6
million and $48.2 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1997,
and 1996. The extraordinary items consisted


                                       21
<PAGE>

of prepayment penalties incurred and deferred loan cost expensed in connection
with the extinguishment of secured debt assumed in various acquisitions
completed in 1997 and 1996. The Company also recorded $13.1 million in
preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Statement of Cash Flows. The Company generated $263.4 million in cash
flows from operating activities and $797.9 million in cash flows from financing
activities for the year ended December 31, 1998. These combined cash flows of
$1.1 billion were used to fund investing activities during 1998. Such investing
activities consisted primarily of development and acquisition activity during
1998. See "Business -- Recent Developments."

     Capitalization. The Company's total indebtedness at December 31, 1998
totaled $2.0 billion and was comprised of $628.1 million of secured
indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 7.7% and $1.4 billion of
unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 7.0%. Except as
stated below, all of the mortgage and notes payable outstanding at December 31,
1998 were either fixed rate obligations or variable rate obligations covered by
interest rate hedge contracts. A portion of our $600 million unsecured
revolving loan and approximately $72.8 million of floating rate notes payable
assumed upon consummation of the merger with J.C. Nichols were not covered by
interest rate hedge contracts on December 31, 1998.

     Based on the Company's total market capitalization of $4.2 billion at
December 31, 1998 (at the December 31, 1998 stock price of $25.75 and assuming
the redemption for shares of Common Stock of the 10,012,000 Common Units of
minority interest in the Operating Partnership), the Company's debt represented
approximately 48% of its total market capitalization.

     We completed the following financing activities during 1998:

o January 1998 Offering. On January 27, 1998, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares
  of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of
  approximately $68.2 million.

o February 1998 Debt Offering. On February 2, 1998, the Operating Partnership
  sold $125 million of 6.835% MandatOry Par Put Remarketed Securities
  ("MOPPRS") due February 1, 2013, and $100 million of 7 1/8% notes due
  February 1, 2008, in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of
  approximately $226.3 million.

o February 1998 Common Stock Offerings. On February 12, 1998, the Company sold
  an aggregate of 1,553,604 shares of Common Stock in two underwritten public
  offerings for net proceeds of approximately $51.2 million.

o March 1998 Offering. On March 30, 1998, the Company sold 428,572 shares of
  Common Stock in an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of
  approximately $14.2 million.

o April 1998 Debt Offering. On April 20, 1998, the Operating Partnership sold
  $200 million of 7 1/2% notes due April 15, 2018, in an underwritten public
  offering for net proceeds of approximately $197.4 million.

o April 21, 1998 Common Stock Offering. On April 21, 1998, the Company sold
  441,176 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering for net
  proceeds of approximately $14.2 million.

o Series D Preferred Offering. On April 23, 1998, the Company sold 4,000,000
  depositary shares, each representing  1/10 of a share of the Company's 8%
  Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, in an underwritten public
  offering for net proceeds of approximately $96.7 million.

o April 29, 1998 Common Stock Offering. On April 29, 1998, the Company sold
  1,080,443 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering for net
  proceeds of approximately $34.6 million.

o $600 Million Credit Facility. On July 3, 1998, we obtained a $600 million
  unsecured revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan"). The Revolving Loan matures
  in July 2001 and replaced our two previously


                                       22
<PAGE>

 existing revolving loans aggregating $430 million. The Revolving Loan carries
 an interest rate based upon the Operating Partnership's senior unsecured
 credit rating. The Revolving Loan also includes a $300 million competitive bid
 sub-facility. The Revolving Loan was amended as of December 31, 1998,
 primarily to ease the restrictions imposed by certain financial covenants.

o November 1998 Debt Offering. On November 25, 1998, the Operating Partnership
  sold $150 million of 8% notes due December 1, 2003, in an underwritten
  public offering for net proceeds of approximately $148.1 million.

o December 1998 Debt Offering. On December 9, 1998, the Operating Partnership
  sold $50 million of 8 1/8% notes due January 15, 2009, in an underwritten
  public offering for net proceeds of approximately $49.3 million.

o Issuance of Common Units and Common Stock. In connection with 1998
  acquisitions, the Operating Partnership issued approximately 750,000 Common
  Units and the Company issued approximately 5.6 million shares of Common
  Stock for an aggregate value of approximately $386.1 million (based on the
  market price of a share of Common Stock at the time of the acquisition).

     To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a
combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the Revolving Loan
bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of
long-term financings and the issuance of debt securities, typically bears
interest at fixed rates. In addition, we have assumed fixed rate and variable
rate debt in connection with acquiring properties. Our interest rate risk
management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve
these objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts
such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate
our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold
or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

     The following table sets forth information regarding our interest rate
hedge contracts as of December 31, 1998:

</TABLE>

     We enter into swaps, collars and caps to limit our exposure to an increase
in variable interest rates, particularly with respect to amounts outstanding
under our Revolving Loan. The interest rate on all of our variable rate debt is
adjusted at one- and three-month intervals, subject to settlements under these
contracts. We also enter into treasury lock agreements from time to time in
order to limit our exposure to an increase in interest rates with respect to
future debt offerings. Our net payments made to counterparties under interest
rate hedge contracts were $48,000 during 1998. See also our financial
statements and notes thereto.

     In addition, we are exposed to certain losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties under the interest rate hedge contracts.
We expect the counterparties, which are major financial institutions, to
perform fully under these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to
default on their obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, we could
be required to pay the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in
excess of the rates in the contracts.

     Current and Future Cash Needs. Historically, rental revenue has been the
principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, stockholder
distributions and capital expenditures, excluding nonrecurring capital
expenditures. In addition, construction management, maintenance, leasing


                                       23
<PAGE>

and management fees have provided sources of cash flow. We presently have no
plans for major capital improvements to the existing properties, other than
normal recurring building improvements, tenant improvements and lease
commissions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally
through working capital and net cash provided by operating activities along
with the Revolving Loan.

     Our short-term (within the next 12 months) liquidity needs also include,
among other things, the funding of approximately $350 million of our existing
development activity. See "Business --  Development Activity." We expect to
fund our short-term liquidity needs through a combination of:

     o additional borrowings under our Revolving Loan (approximately $144
       million was available as of March 31, 1999);

     o the issuance of secured debt;

     o the selective disposition of non-core assets; and

     o the sale or contribution of some of our wholly owned properties to
       strategic joint ventures to be formed with selected partners interested
       in investing with us, which will have the net effect of generating
       additional capital through such sale or contributions.

     Because of certain financial covenants set forth in the Revolving Loan, we
intend to finance a significant portion of our short-term development expenses
through asset sales and joint ventures. Although we believe that we will be
able to fund our short-term development commitments, an inability to sell a
sufficient number of non-core assets or to enter into significant joint venture
arrangements of the type described above could adversely affect our liquidity.

     Our long-term liquidity needs generally include the funding of existing
and future development activity, selective asset acquisitions and the
retirement of mortgage debt, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan and
long-term unsecured debt. We remain committed to maintaining a flexible and
conservative capital structure. Accordingly, we expect to meet our long-term
liquidity needs through a combination of (1) the issuance by the Operating
Partnership of additional unsecured debt securities, (2) the issuance of
additional equity securities by the Company and the Operating Partnership as
well as (3) the sources described above with respect to our short-term
liquidity. We expect to use such sources to meet our long-term liquidity
requirements either through direct payments or repayment of borrowings under
the Revolving Loan. We do not intend to reserve funds to retire existing
secured or unsecured indebtedness upon maturity. Instead, we will seek to
refinance such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of
equity or debt securities.

     We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows
from operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings and
other sources, will be adequate to meet our capital and liquidity needs in both
the short and long term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or
unavailable, the Company's ability to make the expected distributions to
stockholders discussed below and satisfy other cash requirements may be
adversely affected.

     Distributions to Stockholders. In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal
income tax purposes, the Company is required to make distributions to its
stockholders of at least 95% of REIT taxable income. The Company expects to use
its cash flow from operating activities for distributions to stockholders and
for payment of recurring, non-incremental revenue-generating expenditures. The
following factors will affect cash flows from operating activities and,
accordingly, influence the decisions of the Board of Directors regarding
distributions: (1) debt service requirements after taking into account the
repayment and restructuring of certain indebtedness; (2) scheduled increases in
base rents of existing leases; (3) changes in rents attributable to the renewal
of existing leases or replacement leases; (4) changes in occupancy rates at
existing properties and procurement of leases for newly acquired or developed
properties; and (5) operating expenses and capital replacement needs.

Recent Developments

     Joint Venture Activity. On March 15, 1999, we closed a transaction with
Schweiz-Deutschland-USA Dreilander Beteiligung Objekt-DLF 98/29-Walker Fink-KG
("DLF"), pursuant to which we sold or contributed certain office properties
valued at approximately $142 million to a newly created limited partnership
(the "Joint Venture"). DLF contributed approximately $55 million for a 77.19%
interest in the Joint Venture, and the Joint Venture borrowed approximately $71
million from third-party lenders. We retained the remaining 22.81% interest in
the Joint Venture, received cash proceeds of approximately $126 million and are
the sole and exclusive manager and leasing agent of the Joint Venture's
properties, for which we receive customary management fees and leasing
commissions. We used the cash proceeds received in the transaction to fund
existing development activity either through direct payments or repayment of
borrowings under the Revolving Loan.

     Pending Disposition Activity. We have recently entered into agreements to
sell approximately 3.9 million rentable square feet of non-core office and
industrial properties for gross proceeds of approximately $385 million.
Non-core properties generally include single buildings or business parks that
do not fit our long-term strategy. The transactions are subject to customary
closing conditions such as expiration of the buyers' due diligence periods.
Although we believe that the transactions will close by May 31, 1999, we can
provide no assurance that all or part of the transactions will be consummated.

Year 2000

     Background. The Year 2000 compliance issue refers to the inability of
computer systems and computer software to correctly process any date after
1999. The date change to the new millennium may be a problem because some
computer hardware and software was designed to use only two digits to represent
a year. As a result, some systems may interpret 1/1/00 to be the year 1900. In
addition, some systems may not recognize that the Year 2000 is a leap year.
Both problems could result in system failure or miscalculations, which may
cause disruptions of operations.

     The Year 2000 issue, if not corrected, could result in the failure of the
information technology ("IT") systems that we use in our business operations,
such as computer programs related to property management, leasing, financial
reporting, employee benefits, asset management and energy management. In
addition, computerized systems and microprocessors are embedded in a variety of
products used in our operations and properties, such as HVAC controls, lights,
power generators, elevators, life safety systems, phones and security systems.

     Approach and Status. Our Year 2000 compliance efforts are divided into two
areas -- "operations level" and "property level." Operations level includes
those information technology systems used in our corporate and division offices
to perform real estate, accounting and human resources functions. Property
level includes the information technology and non-information technology
systems at our individual properties.

     Our Information Technology Department is overseeing our operations level
compliance program. With respect to our operations level IT software, we have
completed all three phases (assessment, renovation and validation) of our Year
2000 remediation plan. As part of a standardization of our technology
infrastructure in 1998, computer software that was not Year 2000 compliant was
upgraded or replaced. These software upgrades were off-the-shelf Year 2000
compliant packages. Additionally, we successfully upgraded and tested a Year
2000 compliant version of our corporate accounting and property management
software in December 1998. With respect to our operations level IT hardware, we
have completed the assessment phase of our remediation plan and are 90%
complete (in terms of labor) with all needed renovation. We expect to complete
the renovation and testing phases of our operations level hardware by the third
quarter of 1999.

     Our Chief Operating Officer is overseeing our property level compliance
program. We are near completing our inventory of all of our properties' known
information technology and non-information technology systems. This assessment
process is 90% complete and will be completed before the end of the second
quarter of 1999. As part of the inventory process, we are also requesting the
appropriate


                                       25
<PAGE>

vendors and manufacturers to certify that their products are Year 2000
compliant. Most have indicated that their products are Year 2000 compliant. We
are approximately 75% complete (in terms of labor) with our identified
renovation needs. This phase is not expected to be completed until the third
quarter. As the final phase of the property level compliance program, we have
been conducting equipment trial runs, where feasible. This validation process
is projected to be completed by the third quarter of 1999.

     With respect to Year 2000 issues relating to our customer base, we have
not sought representations from our tenants with respect to their Year 2000
readiness because no one tenant represents more than 3% of our annualized
rental revenue. In addition, since almost all of our suppliers and vendors have
numerous competitors, we believe that there will be no material effect on our
operations due to the failure or interruption of service by a vendor or service
provider on account of Year 2000 issues. As a result, we have not developed a
contingency plan for dealing with third-party Year 2000 failures.

     Costs. To date, the costs directly associated with our Year 2000 efforts
have not been material, and we estimate our future costs to be immaterial as
well.

     Risks Associated with the Year 2000 Issue. We do not expect Year 2000
failures to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or
liquidity because:

     o we do not rely on a small number of tenants for a significant portion of
       our rental revenue; and

     o our remediation plan is expected to be complete prior to the Year 2000.

Nevertheless, this forward-looking statement depends on numerous factors, such
as the continued provision of utility services, and we remain exposed to the
risk of Year 2000 failures. See "Disclosure Regarding Forward-looking
Statements" below.

     Our disclosures and announcements concerning our Year 2000 programs are
intended to constitute "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures" as defined in the
recently-enacted Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act. The Act
provides added protection from liability for certain public and private
statements concerning an entity's Year 2000 readiness and the Year 2000
readiness of its products and services. The Act also potentially provides added
protection from liability for certain types of Year 2000 disclosures made after
January 1, 1996, and before the date of enactment of the Act.

Possible Environmental Liabilities

     In connection with owning or operating our properties, we may be liable
for certain costs due to possible environmental liabilities. Under various
laws, ordinances and regulations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act, and common law, an owner or operator
of real estate is liable for the costs to remove or remediate certain hazardous
or toxic chemicals or substances on or in the property. Owners or operators are
also liable for certain other costs, including governmental fines and injuries
to persons and property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to
whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of
the hazardous or toxic chemicals or substances. The presence of such
substances, or the failure to remediate such substances properly, may adversely
affect the owner's or operator's ability to sell or rent such property or to
borrow using such property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal,
treatment or transportation of hazardous or toxic chemicals or substances may
also be liable for the same types of costs at a disposal, treatment or storage
facility, whether or not that person owns or operates that facility.

     Certain environmental laws also impose liability for releasing
asbestos-containing materials. Third parties may seek recovery from owners or
operators of real property for personal injuries associated with
asbestos-containing materials. A number of our properties have
asbestos-containing materials or material that we presume to be
asbestos-containing materials. In connection with owning and operating our
properties, we may be liable for such costs.


                                       26
<PAGE>

     In addition, it is not unusual for property owners to encounter on-site
contamination caused by off-site sources. The presence of hazardous or toxic
chemicals or substances at a site close to a property could require the
property owner to participate in remediation activities or could adversely
affect the value of the property. Contamination from adjacent properties has
migrated onto at least three of our properties; however, based on current
information, we do not believe that any significant remedial action is
necessary at these affected sites.

     As of the date hereof, we have obtained Phase I environmental assessments
(and, in certain instances, Phase II environmental assessments) on
substantially all of our in-service properties. These assessments have not
revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability at our properties
that we believe would materially adversely affect our financial position,
operations or liquidity taken as a whole. This projection, however, could be
incorrect depending on certain factors. For example, material environmental
liabilities may have arisen after the assessments were performed or our
assessments may not have revealed all environmental liabilities or may have
underestimated the scope and severity of environmental conditions observed.
There may also be unknown environmental liabilities at properties for which we
have not obtained a Phase I environmental assessment or have not yet obtained a
Phase II environmental assessment. In addition, we base our assumptions
regarding environmental conditions, including groundwater flow and the
existence and source of contamination, on readily available sampling data. We
cannot guarantee that such data is reliable in all cases. Moreover, we cannot
provide any assurances (1) that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not
impose a material environmental liability or (2) that tenants, the condition of
land or operations in the vicinity of our properties or unrelated third parties
will not affect the current environmental condition of our properties.

     Some tenants use or generate hazardous substances in the ordinary course
of their respective businesses. In their leases, we require these tenants to
comply with all applicable laws and to be responsible to us for any damages
resulting from their use of the property. We are not aware of any material
environmental problems resulting from tenants' use or generation of hazardous
or toxic chemicals or substances. We cannot provide any assurances, however,
that all tenants will comply with the terms of their leases or remain solvent.
If tenants do not comply or do not remain solvent, we may at some point be
responsible for contamination caused by such tenants.


Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is
required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Statement will require us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at
fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against
the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's
change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The fair
market value of our derivatives at December 31, 1998 is discussed in Note 3.


Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act

     Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), all public
accommodations and commercial facilities are required to meet certain federal
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements
became effective in 1992. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require
removal of access barriers, and noncompliance could result in imposition of
fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants.
Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with
these requirements, we may incur additional costs to comply with the ADA.
Although we believe that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on
us, if required changes involve a greater expenditure than we currently
anticipate, our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources could be
materially adversely affected.


                                       27

Funds From Operations and Cash Available for Distributions

     We consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be a useful financial
performance measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT because,
together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an
additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service debt
and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. FFO does not represent
net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as
defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). It should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not measure
whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs, including principal
amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. Further,
FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation of
FFO, as described below. FFO and cash available for distributions should not be
considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance or
to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

     FFO means net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments
for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In March 1995, the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") issued a clarification
of the definition of FFO. The clarification provides that amortization of
deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets are no
longer to be added back to net income in arriving at FFO. Cash available for
distribution is defined as funds from operations reduced by non-revenue
enhancing capital expenditures for building improvements and tenant
improvements and lease commissions related to second generation space.

    information is unaffected by conversion.


Inflation

     In the last five years, inflation has not had a significant impact on us
because of the relatively low inflation rate in our geographic areas of
operation. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share
of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and
insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses
resulting from inflation. In addition, 83% of the leases are for remaining
terms of less than seven years, which may enable us to replace existing leases
with new leases at a higher base if rents on the existing leases are below the
then-existing market rate.


Disclosure Regarding Forward-looking Statements

     Some of the information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain
forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements
about our plans, strategies and prospects under the headings "Business" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations." You can identify forward-looking statements by our use of
forward-looking terminology


                                       29
<PAGE>

such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue" or other
similar words. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations
reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot assure you that our plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.
When considering such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the
following important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement:

     o our markets could suffer unexpected increases in development of office,
       industrial and retail properties;

     o the financial condition of our tenants could deteriorate;

     o the costs of our development projects could exceed our original
       estimates;

     o we may not be able to complete development, acquisition or joint venture
       projects as quickly or on as favorable terms as anticipated;

     o we may not be able to lease or release space quickly or on as favorable
       terms as old leases;

     o we may have incorrectly assessed the environmental condition of our
       properties;

     o an unexpected increase in interest rates would increase our debt service
       costs;

     o we may not be able to continue to meet our long-term liquidity
       requirements on favorable terms;

     o we could lose key executive officers; and

     o our southeastern markets may suffer an unexpected decline in economic
       growth or increase in unemployment rates.

     Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made
to reflect any future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.


ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The effects of potential changes in interest rates and equity prices are
discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes "forward-looking
statements" and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or
future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in
interest rates or equity markets. These disclosures are not precise indicators
of expected future losses, but only indicators of reasonably possible losses.
As a result, actual future results may differ materially from those presented.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations -- Liquidity
and Capital Resources" and the notes to the consolidated financial statements
for a description of our accounting policies and other information related to
these financial instruments.


Interest Rate Risk

     To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a
combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the Revolving Loan
bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of
long-term financings and the issuance of debt securities, typically bears
interest at fixed rates. In addition, we have assumed fixed rate and variable
rate debt in connection with acquiring properties. Our interest rate risk
management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on
earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve
these objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts
such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate
our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold
or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

     Certain Variable Rate Debt. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately $317.3 million of variable rate debt outstanding that was not
protected by interest rate hedge contracts. If the


                                       30
<PAGE>

weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt is 100 basis points
higher or lower in 1999, our interest expense would be increased or decreased
approximately $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. In addition,
as of December 31, 1998, we had $80 million of additional variable rate debt
outstanding that was protected by an interest rate collar that effectively
keeps the interest rate within a range of 85 basis points. We do not believe
that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would materially
affect our interest expense during 1999 with respect to this $80 million of
debt.

     Interest Rate Hedge Contracts. For a discussion of our interest rate hedge
contracts in effect at December 31, 1998, see "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and
Capital Resources -- Capitalization." If interest rates increase by 100 basis
points, the aggregate fair market value of these interest rate hedge contracts
as of December 31, 1998 would increase by approximately $22.6 million. If
interest rates decrease by 100 basis points, the aggregate fair market value of
these interest rate hedge contracts as of December 31, 1998 would decrease by
approximately $25.0 million.

     In addition, we are exposed to certain losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties under the hedge contracts. We expect the
counterparties, which are major financial institutions, to perform fully under
these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to default on their
obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, we could be required to
pay the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the rates
in the contracts.


Equity Price Risk

     On August 28, 1997, we entered into a purchase agreement with UBS AG,
London Branch ("UB-LB") involving the sale of 1.8 million shares of Common
Stock and a related forward contract providing for certain purchase price
adjustments. The forward contract (as amended) generally provides that if the
market price (defined as the weighted average closing price of the Common Stock
for the period beginning March 31, 1999 and ending when UB-LB has sold all of
the shares issued under the forward contract) is less than a certain amount,
which we refer to as the "Forward Price," we must pay UB-LB the difference
times 1.8 million. (Similarly, if the Market Price of a share of Common Stock
is above the Forward Price, UB-LB must pay us the difference in shares of
Common Stock.)

     On February 28, 1999, the Company and UB-LB amended the forward contract.
Pursuant to the amendment:

     o UB-LB applied $12.8 million in Company collateral to "buy down" the
       Forward Price by approximately $7.10 (at March 31, 1999, the forward
       price was approximately $25.12);

     o We issued 161,924 shares of Common Stock to UB-LB as an interim
       settlement payment; and

     o UB-LB agreed not to sell any of the shares that we had issued to it until
       not later than March 31, 1999.

     If the weighted average closing price of one share of Common Stock during
the 60-trading-day period during which UB-LB may sell the shares is 10% lower
or higher than on December 31, 1998, our cost of settling the forward contract
would increase or decrease by approximately $5 million, payable in cash or
shares of Common Stock. The Company has retained the option of repurchasing any
of the shares or cash prior to their distribution by UB-LB.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES, INC.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Highwoods
Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Highwoods
Properties, Inc. at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               December 31, 1998


1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Description of the Company

     Highwoods Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which operates in the
southeastern and midwestern United States. The Company's assets include 658
in-service office, industrial and retail properties; 2,325 apartment units;
1,417 acres of undeveloped land suitable for future development; and an
additional 59 properties under
development.

     The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through, and
substantially all of its interests in the properties are held directly or
indirectly by, Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership (formerly Highwoods/Forsyth
Limited Partnership, the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 1998, the Company
owned 86% of the common partnership interests ("Common Units") in the Operating
Partnership. Limited partners (including certain officers and directors of the
Company) own the remaining Common Units. Holders of Common Units may redeem them
for the cash value of one share of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value
(the "Common Stock'), or, at the Company's option, one share (subject to certain
adjustments) of Common Stock.

     The Company also provides leasing, property management, real estate
development, construction and miscellaneous services for its properties as well
as for third parties. The Company conducts its third-party fee-based services
through Highwoods Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and through
Highwoods/Tennessee Properties, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 

     Generally one year after issuance, the Operating Partnership is obligated
to redeem each Common Unit at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal
to the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock at the time
of such redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to
acquire any such Common Unit presented for redemption for cash or one share of
Common Stock. When a Common Unit holder redeems a Common Unit for a share of
Common Stock or cash, the minority interest will be reduced and the Company's
share in the Operating Partnership will be increased. The Common Units owned by
the Company are not redeemable for cash.


Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and the Operating Partnership and its majority controlled affiliates. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements.

     The Company is a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     Minority interest represents the limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership owned by Common Unit holders other than the Company. Per
share information is calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.

     The extraordinary loss represents the write-off of loan origination fees
and prepayment penalties paid on the early extinguishment of debt and is shown
net of the minority interest's share in the loss.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

Real Estate Assets

     Real estate assets are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. All
capitalizable costs related to the improvement or replacement of commercial
real estate properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 40 years for buildings
and improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture and equipment. Tenant
improvements are amortized over the life of the respective leases, using the
straight-line method.


Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


Restricted Cash

     The Company is required by a certain mortgage note to maintain various
depository accounts, a cash collateral account and a contingency reserve
account. All rents with respect to the collateralized properties are made
payable to, and deposited directly in, the depository accounts, which are then
transferred to the cash collateral account. Subsequent to payment of debt
service and other required escrows, the residual balance of the cash collateral
account is funded to the Company for capital expenditures and operations. The
Company is required to maintain a minimum contingency reserve account balance
of $7,000,000. At December 31, 1998, the account balances were $9,072,421,
including $7,120,655 in the contingency reserve account. At December 31, 1997,
the account balances were $8,624,090, including $7,069,186 in the contingency
reserve account.

     The Company is required by certain mortgage notes to escrow real estate
taxes with the mortgagor. At December 31, 1998, and 1997, $2,672,448 and
$717,350, respectively, were escrowed for real estate taxes.


Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

     Investment in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for on the equity
method and reflect the Company's share of income or loss of the affiliate,
reduced by distributions received and increased by contributions made.


Revenue Recognition

     Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease. Unpaid rents are included in accounts receivable. Certain lease
agreements provide for the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance,
advertising and certain common area maintenance costs. These additional rents
are recorded on the accrual basis. All rent and other receivables from tenants
are due from commercial building tenants located in the properties.


Deferred Lease Fees and Loan Costs

     Lease fees, concessions and loan costs are capitalized at cost and
amortized over the life of the related lease or loan term, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

Income Taxes

     The Company is a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A corporate REIT is
a legal entity that holds real estate assets, and through distributions to
stockholders, is permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of Federal income
taxes at the corporate level. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company
must distribute to stockholders at least 95% of REIT taxable income.

     No provision has been made for income taxes because the Company qualified
as a REIT, distributed the necessary amount of taxable income and, therefore,
incurred no income tax expense during the period.


Concentration of Credit Risk

     Management of the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
tenants. The majority-owned properties (excluding apartment units) are leased
to approximately 4,400 tenants in 20 geographic locations. The Company's
tenants engage in a wide variety of businesses. There is no dependence upon any
single tenant.


Interest Rate Risk Management

     The Company may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps,
caps and collars in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related
financial instrument. The Company has designated these derivative financial
instruments as hedges and applies deferral accounting. Gains and losses related
to the termination of such derivative financial instruments are deferred and
amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt instrument. Payments to
or from counterparties are recorded as adjustments to interest expense.

     The Company also utilizes treasury lock agreements to hedge interest rate
risk on anticipated debt offerings. These anticipatory hedges are designated as
hedges of identified debt issuances which have a high probability of occurring.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of these contracts
are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related
debt instrument.

     The Company is exposed to certain losses in the event of non-performance
by the counterparties under the interest rate hedge contracts. The
counterparties are major financial institutions with credit ratings of Aa3 or
better, and are expected to perform fully under the agreements. However, if
they were to default on their obligations under the arrangements, the Company
could be required to pay the full rate under its Revolving Loans and the
variable rate mortgages, even if such rate were in excess of the rate in the
interest rate hedge contracts. The Company would not realize a material loss as
of December 31, 1998, in the event of non-performance by any one counterparty.
Additionally, the Company limits the amount of credit exposure with any one
institution.


Stock Compensation

     The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees
with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of
grant. As described in Note 9, the Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock
options.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued

Use of Estimates

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


Comprehensive Income

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("FAS 130"). FAS 130 requires that total comprehensive income and
comprehensive income per share be disclosed with equal prominence as net income
and earnings per share. Comprehensive income is defined as changes in
stockholder's equity exclusive of transactions with owners such as capital
contributions and dividends. The Company adopted this Standard in 1998. The
Company did not report any comprehensive income items in any of the years
presented.


Segment Reporting

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information ("FAS 131"), which superceded Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise. FAS 131 establishes standards for the public reporting of
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports. The adoption of FAS 131 did not affect
the Company's net income or financial position.


Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is required to be adopted in fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the
hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized
in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be
immediately recognized in earnings. The fair market value of the Company's
derivatives at December 31, 1998 are discussed in Note 3.


Reclassifications

     Certain amounts in the December 31, 1996 Financial Statements have been
reclassified to conform to the December 31, 1997 presentation. These
reclassifications had no material effect on net income or stockholders' equity
as previously reported.

2. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES


     As a result of the Company's merger with J.C. Nichols Company, the Company
had investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting which
consisted of the following at December 31, 1998:

Secured Indebtedness

     Mortgage notes payable were secured by real estate with an aggregate
carrying value of $1.2 billion at December 31, 1998.

     The 7.9% mortgage note due 2001 is secured by 45 of the properties (the
"Mortgage Note Properties"), which are held by AP Southeast Portfolio Partners,
L.P. (the "Financing Partnership"). The Company has a 99.99% economic interest
in the Financing Partnership, which is managed indirectly by the Company. The
7.9% mortgage note is a conventional, monthly pay, first mortgage note in the
principal amount of $133 million issued by the Financing Partnership. The 7.9%
mortgage note is a limited recourse obligation of the Financing Partnership as
to which, in the event of a default under the indenture or the mortgage,
recourse may be had only against the Mortgage Note Properties and other assets
that have been pledged as security. The 7.9% mortgage note was issued to Kidder
Peabody Acceptance Corporation I pursuant to an indenture, dated March 1, 1994,
among the Financing Partnership, Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A. and
Bankers Trust Company.

     The Financing Partnership may make optional principal payments on the 7.9%
mortgage note on any distribution date, subject to the payment of a yield
maintenance charge in connection with such payments made prior to August 1,
2000.


Unsecured Indebtedness

     On June 24, 1997, a trust formed by the Operating Partnership sold $100
million of Exercisable Put Option Securities due June 15, 2004 ("X-POS"), which
represent fractional undivided beneficial interest in the trust. The assets of
the trust consist of, among other things, $100 million of Exercisable Put
Option Notes due June 15, 2011 (the "Put Option Notes"), issued by the
Operating Partnership. The Put Option Notes bear an interest rate of 7.19%,
representing an effective borrowing cost of 7.09% from the date of issuance
through June 15, 2004, net of a related put option and certain interest rate
hedge contract costs. Under certain circumstances, the Put Option Notes could
become subject to early maturity on June 15, 2004.

     On February 2, 1998, the Operating Partnership sold $125 million of
MandatOry Par Put Remarketed Securities ("MOPPRS") due February 1, 2013. The
MOPPRS bear an interest rate of 6.835%, representing an effective borrowing
cost of 6.31% from the date of issuance through January 31, 2003 (the
"Remarketing Date"), net of a related remarketing option. Under certain
circumstances, the MOPPRS could become subject to early maturity on the
Remarketing Date.

     During 1998, the Company obtained a $600 million unsecured revolving loan
(as amended, the "Revolving Loan"). The Revolving Loan matures in July 2001 and
replaced the Company's two previously existing revolving loans aggregating $430
million. The Revolving Loan carries an interest rate based upon the Operating
Partnership's senior unsecured credit rating. The Revolving Loan also includes
a $300 million competitive bid sub-facility. At December 31, 1998, the
effective interest rate for borrowing under the Revolving Loan was 6.18%. The
Company had $152.5 of borrowing availability under the Revolving Loan at
December 31, 1998. The terms of the Revolving Loan require the Company to pay
an annual facility fee equal to .15% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Loan and include certain restrictive covenants which limit, among other things,
dividend payments, and which require compliance with certain financial ratios
and measurements. At December 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance with
these covenants.


Interest Rate Hedge Contracts

     To meet in part its long-term liquidity requirements, the Company borrows
funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the
Revolving Loan bear interest at variable rates. The Company's long-term debt,
which consists of long-term financings and the issuance of debt securities,
typically bears interest at fixed rates. In addition, the Company has assumed
fixed rate and variable rate debt in connection with acquiring properties. The
Company's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of
interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall
borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time the Company
enters into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and
treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate its interest rate risk with
respect to various debt instruments. The Company does not hold or issue these
derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

</TABLE>

     The interest rate on all of the Company's variable rate debt is adjusted
at one- and three-month intervals, subject to settlements under these
contracts. Net payments made to counterparties under the Company's swaps,
collars and caps were $48,000 in 1998 and $47,000 in 1997 and were recorded as
increases to interest expense. Payments received from counterparties were
$167,000 in 1996 and were recorded as a reduction of interest expense.

     In addition, the Company is exposed to certain losses in the event of
non-performance by the counterparties under the interest rate hedge contracts.
The Company expects the counterparties, which are major financial institutions,
to perform fully under these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to
default on their obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, the
Company could be required to pay the full rates on its debt, even if such rates
were in excess of the rates in the contracts.

4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS



Management Compensation Program

     The Company has established an incentive compensation plan for employees
of the Company. The plan provides for payment of a cash bonus to participating
officers and employees if certain Company performance objectives are achieved.
The amount of the bonus to participating officers and employees is based on a
formula determined for each employee by the executive compensation committee,
but

4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS -- Continued

may not exceed 100% of base salary. All bonuses may be subject to adjustment to
reflect individual performance as measured by specific qualitative criteria to
be approved by the executive compensation committee. Bonuses are accrued in the
year earned and are included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

     In addition, as an incentive to retain top management, the Company has
established a deferred compensation plan which provides for phantom stock
awards. Under the deferred compensation plan, phantom stock or stock
appreciation rights equal in value to 25% of the yearly cash bonus may be set
aside in an incentive pool, with payment after five years. If an employee
leaves the Company for any reason (other than death, disability or normal
retirement) prior to the end of the five-year period, all awards under the
deferred compensation plan will be forfeited.


401(k) Savings Plan

     The Company has a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all employees
who meet certain age and employment criteria. The Company matches the first 6%
of compensation deferred at the rate of 50% of employee contributions. During
1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company contributed $588,000, $353,000, and $160,000,
respectively to the Plan. Administrative expenses of the plan are paid by the
Company.


Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     In August 1997, the Company instituted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan for
all active employees. At the end of each three-month offering period, each
participant's account balance is applied to acquire shares of Common Stock at
90% of the market value of the Common Stock, calculated as the lower of the
average closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the five consecutive
days preceding the first day of the quarter or the five days preceding the last
day of the quarter. A participant may not invest more than $7,500 per quarter.
Employees purchased 24,046 and 5,839 shares of Common Stock under the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     The Company's real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating
leases, substantially all of which expire over the next 10 years. The minimum
rental amounts under the leases are generally either subject to scheduled fixed
increases or adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. Generally, the
leases also require that the tenants reimburse the Company for increases in
certain costs above the base year costs.

     Expected future minimum rents to be received over the next five years and
thereafter from tenants for leases in effect at December 31, 1998, are as
follows (in thousands):

     The Company's tax returns for the year ended December 31, 1998, have not
been filed, and the taxability information for 1998 is based upon the best
available data. The Company's tax returns have not been examined by the IRS,
and therefore the taxability of distributions is subject to change.

     The tax basis of the Company's assets is approximately $3,335,636,000 and
the tax basis of the Company's liabilities is $2,108,076,000.

     On January 25, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a Common Stock
distribution of $.54 per share payable on February 17, 1999, to stockholders of
record on February 4, 1999.

Preferred Stock

     On February 7, 1997, the Company issued 125,000 8 5/8% Series A Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares"). The Series A
Preferred Shares are non-voting and have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per
share for an aggregate liquidation preference of $125.0 million plus accrued
and unpaid dividends. The net proceeds (after underwriting commission and other
offering costs) of the Series A Preferred Shares issued were $121.8 million.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and
if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, out of funds legally available
for payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at a
rate of 8 5/8% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $86.25
per share). On or after February 12, 2027, the Series A Preferred Shares may be
redeemed for cash at the option of the Company. The redemption price (other
than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is
payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Company,
which may include shares of other series of preferred stock. The Company's 1998
distributions of $86.25 per Series A Preferred Share will be taxed as ordinary
income.

     On September 22, 1997, the Company issued 6,900,000 8% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Series B Preferred Shares"). The Series B
Preferred Shares are non-voting and have a liquidation preference of $25 per
share for an aggregate liquidation preference of $172.5 million plus accrued
and unpaid dividends. The net proceeds (after underwriting commission and other
offering costs) of the Series B Preferred Shares issued were $166.3 million.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and
if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, out of funds legally available
for payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at a
rate of 8% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $2.00 per
share). On or after September 25, 2002, the Series B Preferred Shares may be
redeemed for cash at the option of the Company. The redemption price (other
than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is
payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of the Company,
which may include shares of other series of preferred stock. The Company's 1998
distributions of $2.00 per Series B Preferred Share will be taxed as ordinary
income.

     On April 23, 1998, the Company issued 4,000,000 depositary shares (the
"Series D Depositary Shares"), each representing a  1/10 fractional interest in
an 8% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share (the "Series D Preferred
Shares"). The Series D Preferred Shares are non-voting and have a liquidation
preference of $250 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference of $100
million plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The net proceeds (after underwriting
commission and other offering costs) of the Series D Preferred Shares issued
were $96.8 million. Holders of Series D Preferred Shares are entitled to
receive, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of
funds legally available for payment of distributions, cumulative preferential
cash distributions at a rate of 8% of the liquidation preference per annum
(equivalent to $20.00 per share). On or after April 23, 2003, the Series D
Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Company. The
redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and
unpaid distributions) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other
capital shares of the Company, which may include shares of other series of
preferred stock. The Company's 1998 distributions of $1.04 per Series D
Depositary Share will be taxed as ordinary income.


Shareholder Rights Plan
     On October 4, 1997, the Board declared a dividend on one preferred share
purchase right ("Right") for each outstanding share of Common Stock to be
distributed to all holders of record of the Common Stock on October 16, 1997.
The Rights attach to shares of Common Stock subsequently issued. Each

Right entitles the registered holder to purchase one-hundredth of a
participating preferred share for an exercise price of $140.00 per
one-hundredth of a participating preferred share, subject to adjustment as
provided in the rights agreement. The Rights will generally be exercisable only
if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Common Stock or announces a
tender offer for 15% or more of the Common Stock. The Rights will expire on
October 6, 2007, unless the expiration date of the Rights is extended, and the
Rights are subject to redemption at a price of $0.01 per Right under certain
circumstances.


Dividend Reinvestment Plan
     The Company has instituted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
under which holders of Common Stock may elect to automatically reinvest their
distributions in additional shares of Common Stock and may make optional cash
payments for additional shares of Common Stock. The Company may issue
additional shares of Common Stock or repurchase Common Stock in the open market
for purposes of financing its obligations under the Dividend Reinvestment and
Stock Purchase Plan.


Forward Share Purchase Agreement

     On August 28, 1997, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with UBS
AG, London Branch ("UB-LB") involving the sale of 1.8 million shares of Common
Stock and a related forward contract providing for certain purchase price
adjustments. The forward contract (as amended) generally provides that if the
market price (defined as the weighted average closing price of the Common Stock
for the period beginning March 31, 1999 and ending when UB-LB has sold all of
the shares issued under the forward contract) is less than a certain amount
(the "Forward Price"), the Company must pay UB-LB the difference times 1.8
million. (Similarly, if the Market Price of a share of Common Stock is above
the Forward Price, UB-LB must pay the Company the difference in shares of
Common Stock.)


8. EARNINGS PER SHARE


     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is effective for financial
statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. FASB Statement No. 128
requires the restatement of prior period earnings per share and requires the
disclosure of additional supplemental information detailing the calculation of
earnings per share.

     FASB Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike
primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive
effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per
share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per
share. It is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common
Stock and the dilutive effect of options, warrants and convertible securities
outstanding, using the "treasury stock" method. Earnings per share data are
required for all periods for which an income statement or summary of earnings
is presented, including summaries outside the basic financial statements. All
earnings per share amounts for all periods presented have, where appropriate,
been restated to conform to the FASB Statement 128 requirements.

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share:

     As of December 31, 1998, 5,838,627 shares of the Company's authorized
Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options under the
Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Option Plan. Options generally vest over a
four- or five-year period beginning with the date of grant.

9. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS -- Continued

     In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 recommends the use of a fair value based
method of accounting for an employee stock option whereby compensation cost is
measured at the grant date on the fair value of the award and is recognized
over the service period (generally the vesting period of the award). However,
SFAS 123 specifically allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees" ("APB 25") so long as pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share are made as if SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company has
elected to follow APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
employee stock options because the Company believes that the models available
to estimate the fair value of employee stock options do not provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of employee stock options. Moreover, such
models required the input of highly subjective assumptions, which can
materially affect the fair value estimates. APB 25 requires the recognition of
compensation expense at the date of grant equal to the difference between the
option price and the value of the underlying stock. Because the exercise price
of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, the Company records no compensation
expense for the award of employee stock options.

     Under SFAS 123, a public entity must estimate the fair value of a stock
option by using an option-pricing model that takes into account as of the grant
date the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of
the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the
stock, and the risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option.
SFAS provides examples of possible pricing models and includes the
Black-Scholes pricing model, which the Company used to develop its pro forma
disclosures. However, as previously noted, the Company does not believe that
such models provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee
stock options. Furthermore, the Black-Scholes model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable, rather than for use in estimating the fair value of
employee stock options subject to vesting and transferability restrictions.

     Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to
December 31, 1994, only options granted subsequent to that date were valued
using this Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the options granted in 1998
was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average
assumptions: risk-free rates ranging between 3.29% and 6.01%, dividend yield of
9.0% and a weighted average expected life of the options of five years. The
fair value of the options granted in 1997 was estimated at the date of grant
using the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates
ranging between 5.75% and 6.72%, dividend yield of 6.5% and a weighted average
expected life of the options of five years. The fair value of the 1996 options
were estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.47%, expected volatility of .182,
dividend yield of 7.07% and a weighted-average expected life of the options of
five years. Had the compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been
determined based on the fair value at the date of grant for awards in 1998,
1997 and 1996 consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net
income and net income per share would have decreased to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

     Litigation

     On October 2, 1998, John Flake, a former stockholder of J.C. Nichols
Company, filed a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and the
other former stockholders of J.C. Nichols in the United States District Court
for the District of Kansas against J.C. Nichols, certain of its former officers
and directors and the Company. The complaint alleges, among other things, that
in connection with the merger of J.C. Nichols and the Company (1) J.C. Nichols
and the named directors and officers of J.C. Nichols breached their fiduciary
duties to J.C. Nichols' stockholders, (2) J.C. Nichols and the named directors
and officers of J.C. Nichols breached their fiduciary duties to members of the
J.C. Nichols Company Employee Stock Ownership Trust, (3) all defendants
participated in the dissemination of a

proxy statement containing materially false and misleading statements and
omissions of material facts in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and (4) the Company filed a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission containing materially false and
misleading statements and omissions of material facts in violation of Sections
11 and 12(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The plaintiffs seek equitable
relief and monetary damages. The Company believes that the defendants have
meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs' allegations. The Company intends to
vigorously defend this litigation and has filed a motion to dismiss all claims
asserted against the defendants. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the
litigation process and the judicial system, the Company is not able to predict
the outcome of this litigation. If this litigation is not resolved in our
favor, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

     In addition, the Company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of our business. The Company believes that it is
adequately covered by insurance and indemnification agreements. Accordingly,
none of such proceedings are expected to have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.


     Contracts

     The Company has entered into construction contracts totaling $348 million
at December 31, 1998. The amounts remaining on these contracts as of December
31, 1998 totaled $130 million.

     The Company has entered into various contracts under which it is committed
to acquire 626 acres of land over a four-year period for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $79 million.


     Capital Expenditures

     The Company presently has no plans for major capital improvements to the
existing properties, other than normal recurring building improvements, tenant
improvements and lease commissions.


     Environmental Matters

     Substantially all of the Company's in-service properties have been
subjected to Phase I environmental assessments (and, in certain instances,
Phase II environmental assessments). Such assessments and/or updates have not
revealed, nor is management aware of, any environmental liability that
management believes would have a material adverse effect on the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.


     Employment Agreements

     As the Company has expanded into new markets, it has sought to enter into
business combinations with local real estate operators with many years of
management and development experience in their respective markets. Accordingly,
in connection with joining the Company as executive officers as a result of
such business combinations, these persons have entered into employment
agreements with the Company.


11. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


     The following disclosures of estimated fair values were determined by
management using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and
develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon
disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a

          Interest rate hedge contracts .........   $    2,046      $ (20,431)
</TABLE>

     The fair values for the Company's fixed rate mortgages and notes payable
were estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's
estimated incremental borrowing rate at December 31, 1998, for similar types of
borrowing arrangements. The carrying amounts of the Company's variable rate
borrowings approximate fair value.

     The fair values of the Company's interest rate hedge contracts represent
the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate or replace
the financial instruments at current market rates.

     Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on
relevant information available to the Company at December 31, 1998. Although
management is not aware of any factors that would have a material effect on the
fair value amounts reported herein, such amounts have not been revalued since
that date and current estimates of fair value may significantly differ from the
amounts presented herein.


12. ACQUISITION


     On July 13, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of the J.C.
Nichols Company ("JCN"), a Missouri real estate operating company, pursuant to
a merger agreement dated December 22, 1997 and amended on April 29, 1998. The
aggregate consideration totaled $544 million and consisted of the issuance of
approximately 5.63 million shares of the Company's Common Stock, the assumption
of approximately $229 million of debt, approximately $15 million in transaction
costs and a cash payment of approximately $120 million, net of cash acquired of
approximately $59 million. The merger was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The results of operations of JCN have been included in
the Company's financial statements for the period from July 13, 1998 to
December 31, 1998. Unaudited pro forma information is provided in Note 13 as if
the acquisition of JCN had occurred at the beginning of the respective years
presented.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION


     The sole business of the Company is the acquisition, development and
operation of rental real estate properties. The Company operates office,
industrial and retail properties and apartment units. There are no material
inter-segment transactions.

     The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CDM") assesses and measures
operating results based upon property level net operating income. The operating
results for the individual assets within each property type have been
aggregated since the CDM evaluates operating results and allocates resources on
a property-by-property basis within the various property types.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
note 1. Further, all operations are within the United States and no tenant
comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The following table
summarizes the rental income, net operating income and assets for each
reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996:

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On March 15, 1999, the Company closed a transaction with
Schweiz-Deutschland-USA Dreilander Beteiligung Objekt-DLF 98/29 -- Walter
Fink-KG ("DLF"), pursuant to which the Company sold or contributed certain
office properties valued at approximately $142 million to a newly created
limited partnership (the "Joint Venture"). DLF contributed approximately $55
million for a 77.19% interest in the Joint Venture, and the Joint Venture
borrowed approximately $71 million from third-party lenders. The Company
retained the remaining 22.81% interest in the Joint Venture, received cash
proceeds of approximately $126 million and is the sole and exclusive manager
and leasing agent of the Joint Venture's properties, for which the Company
receives customary management fees and leasing commissions. The net book value
of these properties at December 31, 1998 was $131.3 million. The Company used
the cash

proceeds received in the transaction to fund existing development activity
either through direct payments or repayment of borrowings under the Revolving
Loan.

     On February 28, 1999, the Company and UB-LB amended the forward contract
described in Note 7. Pursuant to the amendment:

   o UB-LB applied $12.8 million, which is classified as restricted cash as of
     December 31, 1998, in Company collateral to "buy down" the Forward Price
     by approximately $7.10 to (at March 31, 1999, the forward price was
     approximately $25.12);

   o The Company issued 161,924 shares of common stock to UB-LB as an interim
     settlement payment; and

   o UB-LB agreed not to sell any of the shares that the Company had issued to
     it until not later than March 31, 1999.

     The Company has recently entered into agreements to sell approximately 3.9
million rentable square feet of non-core office and industrial properties for
gross proceeds of approximately $385 million. Non-core properties generally
include single buildings or business parks that do not fit the Company's long-
term strategy. The transactions are subject to customary closing conditions
such as expiration of the buyers' due diligence periods. Although the Company
believes that the transactions will close by May 31, 1999, it can provide no
assurance that all or part of the transactions will be consummated.

                  (i)  Notices;  Disbursement.  Whenever  one  of  more  of  the
                  Borrowers  desires a Swingline Loan advance hereunder it shall
                  give written notice (or telephonice  notice promptly confirmed
                  in writing) to the Swingline  Lender not later than 11:00 A.M.
                  (Charlotte,  North  Carolina  time) on the Business Day of the
                  requested  Swingline  Loan advance.  Each such notice shall be
                  irrevocable  and  shall  specify  (A)  that a  Swingline  Loan
                  advance is requested,  (B) the date of the requested Swingline
                  Loan  advance  (which  shall  be  a  Business  Day),  (C)  the
                  principal amount of the Swingline Loan advance requested,  (D)
                  the purpose  for which the  requested  Swingline  Loan will be

                  any  Credit  Document  are true and  correct  in all  material
                  respects  at and as if made on the date  hereof  except to the
                  extent  they  expressly   relate  to  an  earlier  date.  Each
                  Swingline  Loan  shall be made as a Base  Rate  Loan and shall
                  have such  maturity  date (which  maturity date shall not be a

                  any such notice from the  applicable  Borrower.  The Swingline

                  requested borrowing.

         SECTION 2. Events of Default Cured to  Satisfaction  of Lenders.  First
Geary Corp., a California corporation, and Highwoods/Interlachen Holdings, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership,  both Subsidiaries,  executed Joinder Agreements
after 30 days of  becoming a  Subsidiary  in  violation  of Section  7.12 of the
Credit Agreement. The Lenders do hereby agree that the execution of such Joinder
Agreements cured such Events of Default to their satisfaction.

         SECTION 3.  Release of  Guarantor.  Center  Court  Partners,  a Florida
general partnership ("Center Court"),  erroneously executed that certain Joinder
Agreement  dated as of August 10, 1998,  pursuant to which Center Court became a
Credit Party under the Credit  Agreement and a Guarantor for all purposes of the
Credit  Agreement.  Center  Court is only 50%  owned by Plaza  Land  Company,  a
Florida corporation and a Guarantor, and is thus not a Subsidiary required to be


                                       3
<PAGE>

a Guarantor  under the Credit  Agreement.  The Lenders do hereby  release Center
Court  from its  obligations  under  the  Joinder  Agreement  the  other  Credit
Documents.

shall be effective on the date that the  Administrative  Agent has received each

Finance.

         SECTION 7.  Ratification  of  Agreement.  Except as  expressly  amended
herein,  all terms,  covenants and  conditions  of the Credit  Agreement and all
other Credit Documents shall remain

in full force and effect. The parties hereto do expressly ratify and confirm the
Credit Agreement as amended herein.

         SECTION 8. No Waiver, Etc. Except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the

         The  Applicable  Percentage  shall be  adjusted  effective  on the next

         Rating. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative  Agent in writing
         promptly  after becoming aware of any change in the Unsecured Long Term

                  "Budgeted  Project  Costs"  means,  with respect to Properties
         Under  Development,   the  budgeted  cost  of  construction  and  final

         through  completion  and the projected date of occupancy of eighty-five
         percent (85%) of the gross leasable space;  provided further that, with

         the Budgeted Project Costs shall be the applicable Consolidated Party's
         share of the budgeted costs of construction and final completion (based
         on the greater of (x) the Minority Interest of such Consolidated  Party
         or (y) such  Consolidated  Party's  obligation  to provide funds to the
         Minority Interest Entity, which could include, for example,  completion

         Administrative  Agent in its  discretion)  during  its first year after
         final  completion  in an amount which results in a 9.75% annual rate of

                   EXECUTIVE SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


        AGREEMENT by and between HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"), and _____________ (the "Executive"), dated as of
the           day of            .

        The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), has determined that
it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to ensure that
the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding
the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 1) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the
inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties
and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage
the Executive's full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in
the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the
Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control
which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive
will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other corporations.
Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the
Company to enter into this Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

        1.     CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

               (a) The "Effective Date" shall mean the first date during the
Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 1(c)) on which a Change of
Control occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a
Change of Control occurs and if the Executive's employment with the Company is
terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is
reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i)
was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to
effect the Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or
anticipation of the Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement
the "Effective Date" shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such
termination of employment.

               (b) The "Change of Control Period" shall mean the period
commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of such date;
provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof,
and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual
anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Renewal Date"), the
Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate
three years from such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal
Date the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control
Period shall not be so extended.

                                       1

        mean:

        (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities

        beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
        the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (a) the then outstanding
        shares of common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common
        Stock") or (b) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
        securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
        directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided,
        however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change
        of Control: (I) any acquisition directly from the Company (excluding an
        acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege), (II)
        any acquisition by the Company, (III) any acquisition by any employee
        benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company
        or any corporation controlled by the Company or (IV) any acquisition by
        any corporation pursuant to a reorganization, merger or consolidation,
        if, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the
        conditions described in clauses (I), (II) and (III) of subsection (i) of
        this Section 1(c) are satisfied; or

                      (ii) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute
        the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
        least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual
        becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
        nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a
        vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
        Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a
        member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such
        individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of
        either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used
        in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or
        other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on
        behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

        reorganization, merger or consolidation in substantially the same
        proportions, as their ownership, immediately prior to such
        reorganization, merger or consolidation, of the Outstanding Company
        Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may
        be, (b) no Person (excluding the Company, any employee benefit plan (or

        directors and (c) at least a majority of the members of the board of
        directors of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger

        execution of the initial agreement providing for such reorganization,

        3.     TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT.

               (a)    Position and Duties.

                      (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive's
        position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
        authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in
        all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised
        and assigned at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding
        the Effective Date and (B) the Executive's services shall be performed
        at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding
        the Effective Date or any office which is the headquarters of the
        Company and is less than 35 miles from such location.

                      (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any
        periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled,
        the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during
        normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to
        the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the
        Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's reasonable best efforts to
        perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the
        Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
        Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or
        committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach
        at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long
        as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance
        of the Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in
        accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed
        that to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the
        Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such
        activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope
        thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not hereafter be deemed
        to interfere with the performance of the Executive's responsibilities to
        the Company.

               (b)    Compensation.

                      (i) BASE SALARY. During the Employment Period, the
        Executive shall receive an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"),
        which shall be paid in equal installments on a monthly basis, at least
        equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable to
        the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies in respect of
        the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month in which the
        Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base
        Salary shall be reviewed at least annually and shall be increased at any
        time and from time to time as shall be substantially consistent with
        increases in base salary generally awarded in the ordinary course of
        business to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated
        companies. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit
        or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.
        Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such 

                                       4
<PAGE>

        increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement
        shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased. As used in this
        Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" shall include any company
        controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.



                      (ii) ANNUAL BONUS. In addition to Annual Base Salary, the
        Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the
        Employment Period, an annual bonus (the "Annual Bonus") in cash at least
        equal to the average annualized (for any fiscal year consisting of less
        than twelve full months or with respect to which the Executive has been
        employed by the Company for less than twelve full months) bonus paid or
        payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the Executive by the
        Company and its affiliated companies in respect of the three fiscal
        years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Effective Date
        occurs (the "Recent Average Bonus"). Each such Annual Bonus shall be
        paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next
        following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless
        the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus.

                      (iii) SPECIAL BONUS. In addition to Annual Base Salary and
        Annual Bonus payable as hereinabove provided, if the Executive remains
        employed with the Company and its affiliated companies through the first
        anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall pay to the
        Executive a special bonus (the "Special Bonus") in recognition of the
        Executive's services during the crucial one-year transition period
        following the Change of Control in cash equal to the sum of (A) the
        Executive's Annual Base Salary and (B) the greater of (1) the Annual
        Bonus paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the
        Executive (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than
        twelve full months or for which the Executive has been employed for less
        than twelve full months) for the most recently completed fiscal year
        during the Employment Period, if any, and (2) the Recent Average Bonus
        (such greater amount shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Highest
        Annual Bonus"). The Special Bonus shall be paid no later than 30 days
        following the first anniversary of the Effective Date.

                      (iv) INCENTIVE, SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS. During the
        Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all
        incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and
        programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company
        and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans,
        practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive
        opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special
        incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is
        applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities,
        in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable
        of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the
        Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in
        effect at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the
        Effective Date or if more favorable to the Executive, those provided
        generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives
        of the Company and its affiliated companies.

                      (v) WELFARE BENEFIT PLANS. During the Employment Period,
        the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall
        be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under
        welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the
        Company and its affiliated companies (including, without limitation,
        medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee
        life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans
        and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer
        executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event
        shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive
        with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most
        favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for
        the Executive at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding
        the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those
        provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer
        executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

                      (vi) EXPENSES. During the Employment Period, the Executive
        shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable
        employment expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the
        most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company and its
        affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the
        90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more
        favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time
        thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its
        affiliated companies.

                      (vii) FRINGE BENEFITS. During the Employment Period, the
        Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits in accordance with the
        most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company
        and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time
        during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date, or if
        more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time
        thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its
        affiliated companies.

                      (viii) OFFICE AND SUPPORT STAFF. During the Employment
        Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a
        size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive
        personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most
        favorable of the foregoing provided to the Executive by the Company and
        its affiliated companies at any time during the 90-day period
        immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the
        Executive, as provided generally at any time thereafter with respect to
        other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

                      (ix) VACATION. During the Employment Period, the Executive
        shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable
        plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its
        affiliated companies as in effect for the Executive at any time during
        the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more
        favorable 

                                       6
<PAGE>

        to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with
        respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated
        companies.

        4.     TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

               (a) Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall
terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period.
If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has
occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability
set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with
Section 10(b) of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such
event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on
the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability
Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the
Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive's
duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the absence of
the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Company on a full-time basis
for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or
physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician
selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the
Executive's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be
withheld unreasonably).

               (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
shall mean (i) a material breach by the Executive of the Executive's obligations
under Section 3(a) (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or
mental illness) which is demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Executive's
part, which is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such
breach is in the best interests of the Company and which is not remedied in a
reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Company
specifying such breach or (ii) the conviction of the Executive of a felony
involving moral turpitude.

               (c) Good Reason; Window Period. The Executive's employment may be
terminated (i) during the Employment Period by the Executive for Good Reason or
(ii) during the Window Period by the Executive without any reason. For purposes
of this Agreement, the "Window Period" shall mean the 90-day period immediately
following the first anniversary of the Effective Date. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

                      (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties
        inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's position (including
        status, offices, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or
        responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3(a) or any other action by
        the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority,
        duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
        insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is
        remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given
        by the Executive;

                                       7
<PAGE>


                      (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the
        provisions of Section 3(b), other than an isolated, insubstantial and
        inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by
        the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the
        Executive;

                      (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based at
        any office or location other than that described in Section 3(a) (i)
        (B);

                      (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the
        Executive's employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this
        Agreement; or

                      (v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy
        Section 9(c), provided that such successor has received at least ten
        days' prior written notice from the Company or the Executive of the
        requirements of Section 9(c).

For purposes of this Section 4(c), any good faith determination of "Good Reason"
made by the Executive shall be conclusive.

               (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for
Cause, or by the Executive without any reason during the Window Period or for
Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto given in accordance with Section 10(b). For purposes of this Agreement, a
"Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent
applicable sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the
provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date
of such notice. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the
Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of
Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company
hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

               (e) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means (i) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the
Executive during the Window Period or for Good Reason, the date of receipt of
the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may
be, (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than
for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the
Company notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive's
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of
Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.

        5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UPON TERMINATION.

               (a) Good Reason or during the Window Period; Other than for
Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall
terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause or Disability or the
Executive shall terminate employment either for Good Reason or without any
reason during the Window Period:

                      (i) the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum
        in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of
        the following amounts:

                             (A) the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base
                      Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not
                      theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the Highest
                      Annual Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is
                      the number of days in the current fiscal year through the
                      Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365
                      and (3) the Special Bonus, if due to the Executive
                      pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii), to the extent not
                      theretofore paid and (4) any compensation previously
                      deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued
                      interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation
                      pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the
                      sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), (3) and
                      (4) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued
                      Obligations"); and

                             (B) the amount (such amount shall be hereinafter
                      referred to as the "Severance Amount") equal to the
                      product of (1) 2.99 and (2) the sum of (x) the Executive's
                      Annual Base Salary and (y) the Highest Annual Bonus;
                      provided, however, that if the Special Bonus has not been
                      paid to the Executive, such amount shall be increased by
                      the amount of the Special Bonus; and, provided further,
                      that such amount shall be reduced by the present value
                      (determined as provided in Section 280G(d)(4) of the
                      Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) of
                      any other amount of severance relating to salary or bonus
                      continuation to be received by the Executive upon
                      termination of employment of the Executive under any
                      severance plan, policy or arrangement of the Company; and

                             (C) a separate lump-sum supplemental retirement
                      benefit (the amount of such benefit shall be hereinafter
                      referred to as the "Supplemental Retirement Amount") equal
                      to the difference between (1) the actuarial equivalent
                      (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions
                      utilized with respect to the Company's Retirement Plan (or
                      any successor plan thereto) (the "Retirement Plan") during
                      the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective
                      Date) of the benefit payable under the Retirement Plan and
                      any supplemental and/or excess retirement plan of the
                      Company and its affiliated companies providing benefits
                      for the Executive (the "SERP") which the Executive would
                      receive if the Executive's employment continued at the

                                       9
<PAGE>

                      compensation level provided for in Sections 3(b)(i) and
                      3(b)(ii) for the remainder of the Employment Period,
                      assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are
                      fully vested and that benefit accrual formulas are no less
                      advantageous to the Executive than those in effect during
                      the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective
                      Date, and (2) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this
                      purpose the actuarial assumptions utilized with respect to
                      the Retirement Plan during the 90-day period immediately
                      preceding the Effective Date) of the Executive's actual
                      benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement
                      Plan and the SERP; and

                      (ii) for the remainder of the Employment Period, or such
        longer period as any plan, program, practice or policy may provide, the
        Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's
        family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in
        accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in
        Section 3(b)(v) if the Executive's employment had not been terminated in
        accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or
        policies of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect and
        applicable generally to other peer executives and their families during
        the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more
        favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time
        thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its
        affiliated companies and their families, provided, however, that if the
        Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to
        receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer
        provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein
        shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such
        applicable period of eligibility (such continuation of such benefits for
        the applicable period herein set forth shall be hereinafter referred to
        as "Welfare Benefit Continuation"). For purposes of determining
        eligibility of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such
        plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be
        considered to have remained employed until the end of the Employment
        Period and to have retired on the last day of such period; and

                      (iii) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the
        Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive and/or the
        Executive's family any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or
        provided or which the Executive and/or the Executive's family is
        eligible to receive pursuant to this Agreement and under any plan,
        program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and
        its affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally to other
        peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their
        families during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective
        Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally
        thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its
        affiliated companies and their families (such other amounts and benefits
        shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits").

                                       10
<PAGE>

                      (iv) to the extent not otherwise provided for herein, all
        options, warrants or other rights to acquire capital stock of the
        Company held by or for the benefit of the Executive shall become fully
        vested and eligible for immediate exercise and all other rights of the
        Executive to receive cash compensation whether deferred or not
        (including benefits under any Stock Appreciation Rights Plan or other
        similar plan) shall becoming fully vested and the Executive shall become
        entitled to payment thereof by the Company in a lump sum in cash within
        30 days after the Date of Termination.

               (b) Death. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of the Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives
under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of Accrued Obligations (which
shall be paid to the Executive's estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump
sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination) and the timely payment or
provision of the Welfare Benefit Continuation and Other Benefits (excluding, in
each case, Death Benefits (as defined below)) and (ii) payment to the
Executive's estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within
30 days of the Date of Termination of an amount equal to the greater of (A) the
sum of the Severance Amount and the Supplemental Retirement Amount and (B) the
present value (determined as provided in Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of any
cash amount to be received by the Executive or the Executive's family as a death
benefit pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company
and its affiliated companies, but not including any proceeds of life insurance
covering the Executive to the extent paid for directly or on a contributory
basis by the Executive (which shall be paid in any event as an Other Benefit)
(the benefits included in this clause (B) shall be hereinafter referred to as
the "Death Benefits").

               (c) Disability. If the Executive's employment is terminated by
reason of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other
than for (i) payment of Accrued Obligations (which shall be paid to the
Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination) and
the timely payment of provision of the Welfare Benefit Continuation and Other
Benefits (excluding, in each case, Disability Benefits, as defined below) and
(ii) payment to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date
of Termination of an amount equal to the greater of (A) the sum of the Severance
Amount and the Supplemental Retirement Amount and (B) the present value
(determined as provided in Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of any cash amount to
be received by the Executive as a disability benefit pursuant to the terms of
any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies, but
not including any proceeds of disability insurance covering the Executive to the
extent paid for directly or on a contributory basis by the Executive (which
shall be paid in any event as an Other Benefit) (the benefits included in this
clause (B) shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Disability Benefits").

               (d) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive's
employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other
than the obligation to pay to the Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date
of Termination plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the
Executive, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. If the Executive
terminates employment 

                                       11
<PAGE>

during the Employment Period, excluding a termination either for Good Reason or
without any reason during the Window Period, this Agreement shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations
and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued
Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days
of the Date of Termination.

               (e) Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as provided in Sections
5(a)(ii), 5(b) and 5(c), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or
practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for
which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise
affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement
with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested
benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan,
policy, practice of program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or
any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination
shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or
contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

        6.     FULL SETTLEMENT; RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES.

               (a) The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in
this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be
affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right
or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no
event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any
other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under
any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Section
5(a)(ii), such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains
other employment. The Company agrees to pay promptly as incurred, to the full
extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may
reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof)
by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or
liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance
thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount
of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any
delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.

               (b) If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the
Executive (i) in the event of any termination of the Executive's employment by
the Company, whether such termination was for Cause, or (ii) in the event of any
termination of employment by the Executive, whether Good Reason existed, then,
unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was for Cause or that the
determination by the Executive of the existence of Good Reason was not made in
good faith, the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits, to the
Executive and/or the Executive's family or other beneficiaries, as the case may
be, that the Company would be required to pay or 

                                       12
<PAGE>

provide pursuant to Section 5(a) as though such termination were by the Company
without Cause, or by the Executive with Good Reason; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amount pursuant to this
paragraph except upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive
to repay all such amounts to which the Executive is ultimately adjudged by such
court not to be entitled.

        7.     CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY.

               (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the
Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required
under this Section 7) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax imposed
by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the
Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any
such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Excise Tax"), payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after
payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties
imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income
taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise
Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the
Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

               (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7(c), all determinations
required to be made under this Section 7, including whether and when a Gross-Up
Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions
to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Ernst &
Young, LLP (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting
calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of
the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such
earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting
Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group
effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally
recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which
accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All
fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.
Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7, shall be paid by
the Company to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting
Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is
payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion
that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive's applicable federal
income tax return would not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar
penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the
Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent
with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the
Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7(c) and the Executive
thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm
shall 

                                       13
<PAGE>

determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Executive.

               (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any
claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the
payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given
as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive
is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature
of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The
Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period
following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter
period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim
is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the
expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive
shall:

                      (i) give the  Company any  information  reasonably
        requested  by the Company relating to such claim,

                      (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such
        claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to
        time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with
        respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,

                      (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order
        effectively to contest such claim, and

                      (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
        relating to such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and
expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection
with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an
after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and
penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and
payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of
this Section 7(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection
with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all
administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing
authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct
the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim
in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to
a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall
determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay
such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such
payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold
the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax
(including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to
such

                                       14
<PAGE>

advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and
further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to
payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which
such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested
amount. Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to
issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and
the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any
other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority.

               (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced
by the Company pursuant to Section 7(c), the Executive becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to
the Company's complying with the requirements of Section 7(c)) promptly pay to
the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the
Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 7(c), a
determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund
with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in
writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration
of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and
shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset,
to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

        8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary
capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information,
knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies,
and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive
during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated
companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts
by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this
Agreement). After termination of the Executive's employment with the Company,
the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as
may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any
such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those
designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of
this Section 8 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts
otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

        9.     SUCCESSORS.

               (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the
prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal
representatives.

               (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

               (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.

        10.    MISCELLANEOUS.

accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without reference to

strict compliance with any provision hereof or any other provision of this
Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may
have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to
terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)-(v), shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or
right of this Agreement.

otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive
and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is "at will"
