RICHARD C. BLUM & ASSOCIATES INCREASES CONSIDERATION FOR TRIAD PARK TENDER
OFFER FROM $1.74 PER SHARE TO $1.80 PER SHARE
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 27, 1998 - Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P.
("RCBA") today announced it would increase the consideration for its tender
offer from $1.74 per share to $1.80 per share. As revised, RCBA intends to
commence a cash tender offer to buy approximately 17,800,000 shares of Triad
Park, LLC ("Triad Park") through its acquisition vehicle, TPL Acquisition,
LLC, at a price of $1.80 per share. The offer will be for all outstanding
shares of Triad Park not presently owned or controlled by RCBA; RCBA owns and
controls approximately 10.2% of the outstanding shares of Triad Park. The
offer will commence on or before April 1, 1998. The offer will be a 20-

RCBA's tender offer will be conditioned upon (a) receipt by RCBA of more than
a majority of the shares in the tender, (b) timely redemption by Triad Park of
the company's "poison pill," (c) rejection by the Triad Park shareholders, at
the Special Meeting scheduled for March 28, of an offer to acquire the company
by The Kontrabecki Group, Inc. at $1.65125 per share and Triad Park's
termination of its transaction with TKG promptly thereafter, and (d) other
customary conditions. The offer will not be conditioned on RCBA obtaining
financing.
