ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
        RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     On September 9, 1997, Security Capital and ATLANTIC entered into an Amended
and Restated Investor Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Investor Agreement"),
which provides that, without first having consulted with the nominees of
Security Capital designated in writing, ATLANTIC may not seek Board of Directors
approval of (i) ATLANTIC's annual budget; (ii) incurring expenses in any year
exceeding (a) any line item in the annual budget by the greater of $500,000 or
20% and (b) the total expenses set forth in the annual budget by 15%; (iii) the
acquisition or sale of any assets in any single transaction or series of related
transactions in the ordinary course of ATLANTIC's business where the aggregate
purchase price paid or received by ATLANTIC exceeds $25 million; and (iv)
entering into any new contract with a service provider (a) for investment
management, property management or leasing services or (b) that reasonably
contemplates annual contract payments by ATLANTIC in excess of $1 million.
ATLANTIC is under no obligation to accept or comply with any advice offered by
Security Capital with respect to the foregoing matters.

     Additionally, so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 25% of
the Shares, Security Capital will have the right to approve the following
matters proposed by ATLANTIC: (i) the issuance or sale of any Shares (including
the grant of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Shares
or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) at a price per
share less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of such issuance or
sales; (ii) the issuance and sale of any disqualified shares (as defined) if, as
a result thereof, ATLANTIC's Fixed Charge Ratio (as defined) would be less than
1.4 to 1; (iii) the adoption of any employee benefit plan pursuant to which
shares of ATLANTIC or any securities convertible into shares of ATLANTIC may be
issued and any action with respect to the compensation of the senior officers of
ATLANTIC (including the granting or award of any bonuses or share-based
incentive awards); and (iv) the incurrence of any additional indebtedness
(including guarantees and including renegotiations and restructurings of
existing indebtedness) if, as a result thereof, ATLANTIC's Interest Expense
Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less than 2.0 to 1.0. The restriction
referred to in clause (i) above does not apply to (A) the sale or grant of any
options to purchase shares of ATLANTIC pursuant to the provisions of any benefit
plan approved by the shareholders of ATLANTIC, (B) the issuance or sale of
shares upon the exercise of any rights, options or warrants granted, or upon the
conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable security issued or
sold, prior to September 9, 1997 or in accordance with the provisions of the
Amended and Restated Investor Agreement, (C) the issuance and sale of any shares
of ATLANTIC pursuant to any dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan
approved by the Board of Directors or (D) the issuance, grant or distribution of
rights, options or warrants to all holders of Shares entitling them to subscribe
for or purchase shares of ATLANTIC or securities convertible into or exercisable
for shares of ATLANTIC.

     The Amended and Restated Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as
Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding Shares, ATLANTIC may not
increase the number of persons serving on the Board of Directors to more than
seven. Security Capital is also entitled to designate one or more persons as
directors of ATLANTIC, as follows: (i) so long as Security Capital owns at least
10% but less than 25% of the outstanding Shares, it is entitled to nominate one
person; and (ii) so long as Security Capital owns at least 25% of the
outstanding Shares, it is entitled to nominate that number of persons as shall
bear approximately the same ratio to the total number of members of the Board of
Directors as the number of Shares beneficially owned by Security Capital bears
to the total number of outstanding Shares, provided, that Security Capital shall
be entitled to designate no more than three persons so long as the Board of
Directors consists of no more than seven members.

     As part of the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement, Security Capital
may make employment opportunities with Security Capital or its affiliates
available to officers and employees of ATLANTIC. Prior to commencing discussions
with a senior officer of ATLANTIC about any such opportunity, Security Capital
must give the Board of Directors 14 days' prior written notice.

     In addition, the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement provides Security
Capital with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain specified
circumstances, Security Capital may request at any time, registration of all of
Security Capital's Shares pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
Security Capital may request one such registration for every $100 million (based
on market value) of Shares it owns.

          (a) Organization and Standing.  SCG has been duly organized and is
     validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
     of SCG enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the
     extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of
     creditors' rights generally and judicial limitations on the right of

     any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other material
     agreement or instrument to which SCG is a party or by which SCG is bound or
     to which any of the property or assets of SCG is subject, nor will any such
     action result in any violation of the provisions of the Articles of
     Incorporation or the By-Laws of SCG or any applicable law or statute or any
     order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body
     having jurisdiction over SCG or any of its properties.

          (c) Investment Company Act.  SCG is not required to be registered
     under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     4.   Corporate Configuration.  SCG and its affiliates, including the
Company (collectively, the "SCG Group" and each, a "Member"), constitute a group
of businesses engaged in real estate research, investment and management.  Since
inception, the SCG Group has compiled an excellent record of growth in its
business.  The parties recognize that the SCG Group has a distinct character
that is reflected in its objectives, principles, operating policies and
management style and that the SCG Group's overall objective is to create the
maximum value for Members and the shareholders thereof.  The parties further
recognize that an important element of the SCG Group's success has been its
ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain talented individuals.
Historically, this has been accomplished by combining the operational aspects of
a Member with the organizational, management, technical and financial strengths
of SCG.  Following the consummation of the Transaction, the parties desire that
the distinctive character of the SCG Group continue as between the Company, SCG
and the other Members and, accordingly, agree to the following provisions of
this Section 4.

          (a) Statement of Purpose and Objectives.  The parties believe that the
     creation of value for the shareholders of the Company and the other Members
     is dependent in large part on the ability of the Members to attract,
     motivate, develop and retain talented individuals.  The parties further
     recognize that each Member enjoys the benefits and support derived from its
     affiliates within the SCG Group and that these benefits and support are
     important for the continued success of each of the Members.  In that
     regard, the Company and SCG agree that the provisions of this Section 4 are
     necessary to continue the development of a corporate structure and depth of
     management capable of sustaining a high rate of value-creation over a long
     period of time.  Further, the Company and SCG agree that it is critical to
     the accomplishment of its goals to (i) recognize the intrinsic value of
     each employee as an individual, (ii) treat each employee and applicant for
     employment without discrimination as to race, creed, color, sex, age,
     orientation or national origin, (iii) maintain an atmosphere that combines
     professional achievement with personal enjoyment, 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
     (iv) provide training opportunities that permit employees to perform their
     jobs in a better and more meaningful manner, (v) provide each employee with
     opportunity for career growth and advancement within the SCG Group based
     upon individual ability and performance, (v) recognize the value and
     potential of self-motivation of people who thoroughly understand their jobs
     so that individual initiative and thought will be encouraged in the
     accomplishment of all tasks, (vi) compensate employees fairly and
     competitively and (vii) maintain and enhance the strengths of each Member.

          (b) Transferability of Employees.  To accomplish the foregoing
     objectives, each of the parties hereto agrees that SCG may notify the
     Company's officers and employees of employment opportunities with other
     Members of the SCG Group (including SCG) and may make such opportunities
     available to such officers and employees; provided, that prior to making
     any such opportunity available to any Senior Officer, SCG shall first give
     the Board written notice of its intention to make any such opportunity
     available to a Senior Officer at least 14 days prior to any discussions
     with a Senior Officer regarding such opportunity.  No Member (or any
     director, trustee, officer, employee or shareholder of such Member) shall
     have any liability to any other Member (or any director, trustee, officer,
     employee or shareholder of such Member) as a result of the compliance by
     such Member with the provisions of this Section 4.  In the event that any
     claims are made by any Person as a result of the compliance by a Member
     with the provisions of this Section 4, each Member shall be responsible for
     its own costs of defending against such claim.

          (c) Termination.  The provisions of this Section 4 shall continue and
     remain in full force and effect until such time as the Company shall cease
     to be a Member.

     5.   Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with SCG
as follows:

          (a) Board Representation.  From and after the date hereof and for so
     long thereafter as SCG Beneficially Owns 10% or more of the outstanding
     Common Shares, the Company shall not increase the number of members of its
     Board to more than seven (7), and SCG shall be entitled to designate one or
     more Persons for nomination to the Board (such Person, a "Nominee") as
     follows and the Company will use its best efforts to cause the election of
     such Nominee or Nominees:

               (i) So long as SCG Beneficially Owns at least 10% but less than
          25% of the outstanding Common Shares, one (1) Nominee;

               (ii) So long as SCG Beneficially Owns 25% or more of the
          outstanding Common Shares, that number of Nominees as shall bear
          approximately the same ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole
          number) to the total number of members of the Board as the number of
          Common Shares Beneficially Owned by SCG bears to the total number of
          outstanding Common Shares, provided, that (A) SCG shall be entitled to
          designate not more than three (3) Nominees so long as the Board

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
          consists of not more than seven (7) members; and (B) any Person who is
          employed by SCG or who is an employee or a director of any corporation
          of which SCG is a 25% shareholder (except for the Company) shall be
          deemed to be a designee of SCG.

          (b) File Reports.  For as long as SCG shall continue to Beneficially
     Own any Common Shares, the Company shall file on a timely basis all annual,
     quarterly and other reports required to be filed by it under Sections 13
     and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the Rules and Regulations of the
     Commission thereunder, as amended from time to time.

          (c) Advice of Actions.  Without first having consulted with the
     Nominee or Nominees of SCG designated by SCG in writing, the Company will
     not seek approval by the Board of any proposal relating to:

               (i) Budget.  The Company's annual budget.

               (ii) Expenses.  Incurring expenses in any year exceeding (A) any
          line item in the annual budget by the greater of $500,000 or 20% and
          (B) the total expenses set forth in the annual budget by 15%.

               (iii)  Assets.  The acquisition or sale of any assets in any
          single transaction or any series of related transactions in the
          ordinary course of the Company's business where the aggregate purchase
          price paid or received by the Company exceeds $25,000,000.

               (iv) Contracts.  Entering into any new contract with a service
          provider (A) for investment management, property management, or
          leasing services or (B) that reasonably contemplates annual contract
          payments by the Company in excess of $1,000,000.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to
     accept or comply with any advice offered by SCG or its designated Nominees
     in any consultation pursuant to this Section 5(c).

          (d) Approval Rights.  So long as SCG Beneficially Owns 25% or more of
     the Common Shares outstanding, SCG shall have the right (each, an "Approval
     Right") to approve the following matters as proposed by the Company:

               (i) Equity Securities.  The (A) issuance or sale of any Common
          Shares, (B) grant of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for
          or purchase Common Shares or any security convertible into or
          exchangeable for Common Shares or (C) the issuance or sale of any
          security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, in any
          such case, at a price per share less than the Value of a Common Share
          on the date of such issuance, sale or grant.  For purposes of the
          preceding 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
          sentence Common Shares shall be deemed to be issued at less than Value
          if the price per share for which Common Shares issuable upon exercise
          of rights, options or warrants or upon conversion or exchange of
          convertible or exchangeable securities is less than the Value on the
          date of issuance. The provisions of this Section 5(d)(i) shall not
          apply to (A) the sale or grant of any options to purchase shares of
          stock of the Company pursuant to the provisions of any benefit plan
          approved by the shareholders of the Company, (B) the issuance or sale
          of shares of stock upon the exercise of any rights, options or

          of this Agreement or in accordance with the provisions of this Section
          5, (C) the issuance and sale of any shares of stock of the Company

          options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them to
          subscribe for or purchase shares of stock of the Company or securities
          convertible into or exercisable for shares of stock.

               (ii) Fixed Charges.  The issuance and sale of any Disqualified
          Shares if, as a result thereof, the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage
          Ratio would be less than 1.4 to 1.0.

               (iii)  Benefit Plans and Compensation.  The adoption of any
          employee benefit plan pursuant to which shares of stock of the Company
          or any securities convertible into shares of stock of the Company may
          be issued and any action with respect to the compensation of the
          Senior Officers (including the granting or award of any bonuses or
          stock-based incentive awards); provided, however, that SCG will not
          have an Approval Right as to any action with respect to the
          compensation of a Senior Officer as to whom SCG has delivered a notice
          under Section 4, for so long as the employment opportunity that is the
          subject of such notice is available to such Senior Officer.

               (iv) Indebtedness.  The incurrence of any additional indebtedness
          (including guarantees and including renegotiations and restructurings
          of existing indebtedness) if, as a result thereof, the Company's
          Interest Expense Coverage Ratio would be less than 2.0 to 1.0.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Approval
     Rights of SCG shall terminate and be of no further force or effect at such
     time as SCG Beneficially Owns less than 25% of the Common Shares
     outstanding.

          (e) Approval Right Procedures.  The Company shall submit any proposed
     action with respect to any Approval Right for consideration by SCG,
     together with information which sets forth in reasonable detail the
     background and reasons for such action, reasonably in advance of the date
     any action would be required to be taken by or on behalf of the Company to
     permit SCG to review the information and make an informed 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
     decision. The approval of SCG pursuant to Section 5(d), other than where
     written approval is expressly required, shall be deemed to have been
     received if SCG does not communicate otherwise to the Company by the
     fifteenth day after SCG shall have received a written request for such
     approval.

          (f) Company Support.  If there is a final judicial determination
     before any court of competent jurisdiction that any or all of the Approval
     Rights are not enforceable or exercisable in any manner by SCG, whether by
     reason of Maryland statutory or common law or otherwise, the Company agrees
     to defer any action proposed by the Company which is the subject of any of
     the Approval Right which was so determined not to be enforceable or
     exercisable and SCG shall have the right to cause the Company to call a
     special meeting of shareholders at which meeting SCG may present an
     alternative slate of directors for election (which slate may include some
     of the same nominees as the then current Board).  The Company and SCG agree
     that they will each use their best efforts to prepare and file with the
     Commission definitive proxy material, to have such material cleared by the
     Commission and to mail such material to the Company's shareholders, as soon
     as practicable.  The Company shall in any event provide SCG with a list of
     the shareholders of record for such meeting and a complete list of non-
     objecting beneficial holders and deposits in securities positions listings
     as of such date.  The Company and SCG shall not, and their respective
     directors, officers, employees and agents shall not, take any action that
     would have the effect of delaying, preventing or impeding the special
     meeting of shareholders or the mailing of proxy materials in respect of
     such meeting, including the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding
     at law or in equity seeking to enjoin, delay or impede the special meeting
     or the mailing of proxy materials in respect of such meeting.  The parties
     shall each bear their own costs in connection with any special meeting of
     shareholders pursuant to this Section 5(f); provided, that the Company
     shall bear all costs typically borne by companies in connection with annual
     meetings of shareholders.

          (g) Non-interference.  The Company shall not provide any Person with
     rights which are similar or more extensive than the Approval Rights
     provided to SCG hereunder and shall not grant to any Person or Group the
     right to nominate a greater number of members to the Company's Board than
     the number SCG is entitled to designate pursuant to Section 5(a), in each
     case, without the prior approval of SCG, which may be withheld in SCG's
     sole and absolute discretion; the Company shall not enter into any
     agreement or arrangement with any Person which shall impede or impair the
     Approval Rights in any manner.

          (h) Inspection.  At any time during regular business hours and as
     often as reasonably requested of the Company's officers, the Company will
     permit SCG or any authorized employee, agent or representative of SCG to
     examine and make copies and abstracts from the records and books of account
     of, and to visit the properties of, the Company and to discuss the affairs,
     finances, and accounts of the Company with any of 

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
     its officers or directors; provided, that all costs and expenses of such
     inspection shall be borne by SCG.

     6. Registration Rights.

          (a) Demand.  At any time after the date hereof and for so long
     thereafter as SCG shall continue to own any Registrable Securities, SCG may
     request registration of all or any part of its Registrable Securities
     pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act by delivering written notice
     to the Company specifying the number of Registrable Securities that SCG
     desires to sell, and the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to effect
     the registration of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act.

          (b) Registration Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is required
     by any of the provisions of this Section 6 to use its reasonable efforts to
     effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the
     Securities Act, the Company shall:

               (i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
          with respect to such securities and use its reasonable efforts to
          cause such registration statement to become effective and remain

          distribution of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities so
          registered;

               (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
          supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in
          connection therewith, as may be necessary to keep such registration
          statement effective for so long as shall be necessary to complete the
          distribution of at least 90% of the Registrable Securities so
          registered and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
          with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities
          covered by such registration statement whenever SCG shall desire to
          sell or otherwise dispose of the same within such period;

               (iii)  furnish to SCG such numbers of copies of such registration
          statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus
          included in such registration statement, including any preliminary
          prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, and such other
          documents, as may be reasonably requested in order to facilitate the
          sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by SCG;

               (iv) use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
          securities covered by such registration statement under such other
          securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as SCG shall
          reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things
          reasonably requested by SCG to assist the public sale or other
          disposition by SCG in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by
          SCG, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be
          required to qualify to do 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
          business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is
          not so qualified or to file therein any general consent to service of
          process;

               (v) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all
          applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available
          to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an
          earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months,
          beginning with the first fiscal quarter beginning after the effective
          date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall
          satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

               (vi) use its reasonable efforts to list such securities on any
          securities exchange or quotation system on which any securities of the
          Company are then listed, if the listing of such securities is then
          permitted under the rules of such exchange or quotation system; and

               (vii)  notify SCG, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
          Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the
          Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which it has
          knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in such
          registration statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue
          statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
          existing.

          (c) Number of Registrations.  SCG shall be entitled to request one
     registration of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6(a) for
     each $100 million in Value of Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by
     SCG on the date of such request.

          (d) Company's Ability to Postpone.  The Company shall have the right
     to postpone the filing of a registration statement under this Section 6 for
     a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 60 days) if the Company
     furnishes SCG with a certificate signed by any Senior Officer stating that,
     in its good faith judgment, the Board has determined that effecting the
     registration at such time would adversely affect a material financing,
     acquisition, disposition of assets or shares, merger or other comparable
     transaction or would require the Company to make public disclosure of
     information the public disclosure of which would have a material adverse
     effect upon the Company.

          (e) Expenses.  All expenses incurred in the registration of
     Registrable Securities under this Agreement shall be paid by the Company.
     The expenses shall include, without limitation, the expenses of preparing
     the registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
     and any amendment or supplement thereto, printing and photocopying
     expenses, all registration and filing fees under Federal and state
     securities laws, and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky
     laws of any jurisdictions; provided, however, that SCG shall be responsible
     for paying the fees and disbursements of its own counsel and any
     underwriting discounts, commissions and fees.

          (f) Indemnification.   In the event any Registrable Securities are
     included in a registration statement under this Section  6:

               (i) Indemnity by Company.  Without limitation of any other
          indemnity provided to SCG, to the extent permitted by law, the Company
          will indemnify and hold harmless SCG and its officers, directors and
          each Person, if any, who controls SCG (within the meaning of the
          Securities Act or the Exchange Act), against any losses, claims,
          damages, liabilities and expenses (joint or several) to which they may
          become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
          federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
          liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
          or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
          violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or
          alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
          registration statement (including any preliminary prospectus or final
          prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements
          thereto), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
          material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation
          by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state
          securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
          Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the
          Company will reimburse SCG and its officers, directors and any
          controlling person thereof for any reasonable legal or other expenses
          incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
          such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided,
          however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any
          such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action to the extent
          that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in
          reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
          expressly for use in connection with such registration by SCG or any
          officer, director or controlling person thereof.

               (ii) Indemnity by SCG.  In connection with any registration
          statement in which SCG is participating, SCG will furnish to the
          Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company
          reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration
          statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will
          indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who
          controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or
          Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
          expenses resulting from any Violation, but only to the extent that
          such Violation is contained in any information or affidavit so
          furnished in writing by SCG; provided, that the obligation to
          indemnify will be several and not joint and several with any other
          Person and will be limited to the net amount received by SCG from the
          sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration
          statement.

               (iii)  Notice; Right to Defend.  Promptly after receipt by an
          indemnified party under this Section 6(f) of notice of the
          commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such
          indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
          against any indemnifying party under this Section 6(f), deliver to the
          indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and
          the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, if
          the indemnifying party agrees in writing that it will be responsible
          for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages and losses incurred by the
          indemnified party with respect to such claim, jointly with any other
          indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof
          with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however,
          that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
          counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
          party, if the indemnified party reasonably believes that
          representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by
          the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
          potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any
          other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The
          failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
          reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve
          such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
          under this Section 6(f) only if and to the extent that such failure is
          prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission to
          deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it
          of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than
          under this Section 6(f).

               (iv) Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this
          Section 6(f) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
          unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss,
          liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the
          indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
          thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
          indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage
          or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
          relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
          indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements
          or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or
          expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The
          relevant fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
          shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
          untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
          to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
          indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
          relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
          correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, the amount SCG shall be obligated to contribute pursuant to
          this Section 6(f)(iv) shall be limited to an amount equal to the
          proceeds to SCG of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the
          registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to
          contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which SCG has
          otherwise been required to pay in respect of such loss, claim, damage,
          liability or action or 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
          any substantially similar loss, claim, damage, liability or action
          arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities).

               (v) Survival of Indemnity.  The indemnification provided by this
          Section 6(f) shall be a continuing right to indemnification and shall
          survive the registration and sale of any securities by any Person
          entitled to indemnification hereunder and the expiration or
          termination of this Agreement.

          (g) Limitations on Registration Rights.

               (i) The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
          SCG, include in any registration in which SCG has a right to
          participate pursuant to this Agreement any securities of any Person
          other than SCG.

               (ii)  SCG shall not, without the prior written consent of the
          Company, effect any public sale or distribution (including sales
          pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of securities of the
          Company during any period commencing 30 days prior to and ending 60
          days after the effective date of any registration statement filed by
          the Company on behalf of any Person (including the Company), other
          than a registration statement on Form S-8 or any successor form.

          (h) Registrable Securities.  The term "Registrable Securities" means
     (i) any Common Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by SCG and (ii) any
     Common Shares or other securities that may subsequently be issued with
     respect to such Common Shares as a result of a stock split or dividend or
     any sale, transfer, assignment or other transaction by the Company
     involving the Common Shares and any securities into which the Common Shares
     may thereafter be changed as a result of merger, consolidation,
     recapitalization or otherwise.  As to any particular Registrable
     Securities, such securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when
     they have been distributed to the public pursuant to an offering registered
     under the Securities Act.  All Registrable Securities shall cease to be
     Registrable Securities when all such securities may be sold in any three-
     month period pursuant to Rule 144, or any successor to such rule, under the
     Securities Act.

          (i) Assignment.  SCG may assign without the consent of the Company its
     rights under this Section 6 with respect to any Registrable Securities to
     any party (a "Lender") to whom it provides a bona fide pledge, assignment
     or hypothecation of such Registrable Securities.  If (i) SCG assigns its
     rights under this Section 6 with respect to Registrable Securities having
     an aggregate offering value of at least $100,000,000 to a Lender and (ii)
     any Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the related loan
     agreement between SCG (or one of its subsidiaries) and the Lender, the
     Lender may request one registration of all or part of its Registrable
     Securities having an aggregate offering value of at least $100,000,000 on
     Form S-3 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act by delivering
     written notice to the Company specifying the number of Registrable
     Securities that the Lender desires to sell and the Company shall use its
     reasonable efforts to effect the 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
     registration of such Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in
     accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section 6. 

     7.   Miscellaneous.

     (a)  Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.   All
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall survive the
execution of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until
terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     (b) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors, assigns and affiliates, but (except as provided in

written consent of the other party hereto.

     (c) Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in

<PAGE>
 
remainder of this Agreement. A finding that any such provision is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision or the validity or enforceability of such
provision under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     (g) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties hereto and their affiliates, with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

     (h) Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly contemplated herein to the
contrary, regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incident to preparing
for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

constitute one and the same instrument.

     (k) Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland.

     (l) Specific Performance.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the
obligations undertaken by it pursuant to this Agreement are unique and that the
other party will not have an adequate remedy at law if it shall fail to perform
any of its obligations hereunder, and each of the parties hereto therefore
confirms that the right of the other party to specific performance of the terms
of this Agreement is essential to protect the rights and interests of such
party.  Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies that either party hereto
may have at law or in equity, SCG shall have the right to have all obligations,
covenants, agreements and other provisions of this Agreement specifically
performed by the other party, and each party shall have the right to obtain
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance and
to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement by the other party.
