        2.1. Loan Advances and Repayment.

             (a) Loan Availability; Credit Facilities.

                 (i) Loan Availability.

                     (A) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
        Agreement, the Lenders hereby agree to make Advances to Borrower from
        time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Business Day
        next preceding the Maturity Date, subject to the following:

                        (1) Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, Section 2.8 and
             Section 2.9, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
             Advances (including


                                     Page 30
<PAGE>

             outstanding Swing Line Advances) shall not at any time exceed Three
             Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($310,000,000);

                        (2) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
             Advances shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (a) the
             Commitment or (b) the amount which, when combined with all
             components of the unsecured Total Liabilities of the REIT and the
             Consolidated Entities other than outstanding Advances as of the
             date of determination, is equal to 57.1429% of the aggregate
             Unencumbered Asset Value of the Unencumbered Pool as of such date;
             and

                        (3) if any Swing Line Advances are outstanding as of the
             date of any such Advance, (a) such Advance shall be in an amount
             equal to at least the aggregate outstanding principal of all
             outstanding Swing Line Advances, and (b) the proceeds thereof shall
             be applied first to the payment of such outstanding Swing Line
             Advances.

                 All Advances under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders
        simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
        Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent
        nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender
        to perform its obligation to make an Advance hereunder and that the Pro
        Rata Share of the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or
        decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its
        obligation to make an Advance. Advances may be voluntarily prepaid
        pursuant to Section 2.6(a) and, subject to the provisions of this
        Agreement, any amounts so prepaid may be reborrowed under this Section
        2.1(a)(i). Interest shall accrue and be payable on outstanding Advances
        as provided in Section 2.4. The principal balance of the Advances shall
        be payable in full on the Maturity Date. The obligation of Borrower to
        repay Advances will be evidenced by the Notes.

                     (B) Notice of Borrowing.

                        (1) Whenever Borrower desires to borrow under this
             Section 2.1, but in no event more than five (5) times during any
             one (1) calendar month, Borrower shall give Administrative Agent,
             at Wells Fargo Real Estate Group Disbursement Center, 2120 East
             Park Place, Suite 100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: Ms.

             LIBOR Advance) (telephone: (310) 335-9498; telecopier: (310)
             615-1014), with a copy to: Wells Fargo Bank, Real Estate Group, 333

             Attention: Mr. Daniel Cacho, Jr., or at such other addresses as
             Administrative Agent shall designate, an original or facsimile
             Notice of Borrowing no later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time),
             not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior
             to the proposed Funding Date of each LIBOR Advance, and not less
             than one (1) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the
             proposed Funding Date of each Base Rate Advance. Each Notice of
             Borrowing shall specify (a) the Funding Date (which shall be a
             Business Day) of the proposed Advance, (b) the amount of the
             proposed Advance, provided that the aggregate amount of such
             proposed Advance



                                    Page 31
<PAGE>

             shall, if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, equal One Million
             Dollars ($1,000,000) or integral multiples of Fifty Thousand
             Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof, and provided further that the
             aggregate amount of such proposed Advance shall, if such Advance is
             a Base Rate Advance, be equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty
             Thousand Dollars ($250,000), (c) whether the Advance to be made
             thereunder will be a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance and, if a
             LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period, and (d) the proposed use of
             such Advance. Any Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section
             2.1(a)(i)(B) shall be irrevocable.

                        (2) Borrower may elect (a) to convert LIBOR Advances or
             any portion thereof into Base Rate Advances, or (b) to convert Base
             Rate Advances or any portion thereof to LIBOR Advances, or (c) to
             convert LIBOR Advances or any portion thereof into new LIBOR
             Advances, provided, however that the aggregate amount of the
             Advances being converted into or continued as LIBOR Advances shall,
             in the aggregate, equal One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or an
             integral multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess
             thereof. The conversion of a LIBOR Advance to a Base Rate Advance
             or to a new LIBOR Advance shall only occur on the last Business Day
             of the Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Advance. Each
             election under clause (b) above shall be made by Borrower giving
             Administrative Agent an original or facsimile Notice of Borrowing
             no later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time), not less than three
             (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of
             proposed conversion to a LIBOR Advance. Each election under clause
             (c) above shall be made by Borrower giving Administrative Agent an
             original or facsimile Notice of Borrowing no later than 9:00 A.M.
             (San Francisco time), not less than three (3) nor more than five
             (5) Business Days prior to the last day of the Interest Period for
             the LIBOR Advance in question. Each Notice of Borrowing delivered
             pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(2) shall specify (x) the
             amount of the new LIBOR Advance or Base Rate Advance, as the case
             may be, (y) with respect to a new LIBOR Advance, the Interest
             Period therefor, and (z) the date of the effectiveness of the LIBOR
             Rate or Base Rate, as the case may be (which date shall be a
             Business Day).

                        (3) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in proper form
             requesting LIBOR Advances under subparagraph (1) or (2) above,
             Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof (by facsimile) to
             each Lender by noon (San Francisco time) on the same day of
             Administrative Agent's receipt thereof and shall determine the
             LIBOR Rate applicable to the Interest Period for such LIBOR
             Advances, and shall, two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning
             of such Interest Period, give (by facsimile) a Fixed Rate Notice in
             respect thereof to Borrower and the Lenders; provided, however,
             that failure to give such notice to Borrower shall not affect the
             validity of such rate. Each determination by Administrative Agent
             of the LIBOR Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties
             hereto in the absence of manifest error.

                        (4) If Borrower does not make a timely election to
             convert all or a portion of a LIBOR Advance into a new LIBOR
             Advance in



                                    Page 32
<PAGE>

             accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(2) such LIBOR Advance shall be
             automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance upon expiration of
             the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance.

                        (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision
             hereof to the contrary, in addition to the number of Advances
             permissible monthly under the Commitment pursuant to subsection (1)
             above, Borrower shall be permitted to borrow under the Swing Line
             multiple times during any calendar month, provided that (A) the
             Notice of Borrowing with respect to any Swing Line Advance shall be
             given by Borrower to Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M.
             (San Francisco time) on the proposed Funding Date of such Swing
             Line Advance and shall designate such Advance as a Swing Line
             Advance; and (B) each requested Advance under the Swing Line shall
             equal Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or an integral
             multiple of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in excess thereof. The
             obligation of Administrative Agent (as the Swing Line Lender) to
             fund Swing Line Advances in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii)
             below shall not be subject to Section 10.3. The other Lenders have
             no obligation under Section 10.3(a) to fund their Pro Rata Share of
             any Swing Line Advance (but do have an obligation to fund an
             Advance to replace such Swing Line Advance in accordance with such
             Section 10.3(a)), and the Administrative Agent alone (as the Swing
             Line Lender) shall fund all Swing Line Advances. Except as provided
             in Section 2.1(a)(iii) below, in the preceding sentences of this
             Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(5), in Section 2.6(a) or in Section 10.3, all
             other provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such Swing
             Line Advance.

                 (ii) Bid Facility.

                     (A) Bid Advances.

                         (1) Each Lender severally agrees that, subject to the
             conditions that at the time of Borrower's submission of the
             relevant Competitive Bid Request, (a) Borrower's Long Term
             Unsecured Senior Debt Rating is equal to or higher than BBB-/Baa3
             and (b) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has
             occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, in accordance with this
             Section 2.1(a)(ii) and the other relevant provisions of the Loan
             Documents, from time to time request that the Lenders, at any time
             before the 32nd day prior to the Maturity Date, submit Competitive
             Bids to make Bid Advances to Borrower, provided; provided, however,
             that (A) at no time shall the aggregate principal amount of all
             outstanding Bid Advances cause the aggregate principal amount of
             all outstanding Advances (taking into account any repayments of
             Advances with the proceeds thereof) to exceed the applicable dollar
             limitations of Sections 2.1(a)(i) above; (B) at no time shall the
             aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Bid Advances (taking
             into account any repayments of Advances with the proceeds thereof)
             exceed the Bid Advance Limit; (3) at no time may the number of
             Fixed Rate Periods of then outstanding Fixed Rate Advances and
             Absolute Rate Bid Advances exceed eight, in each case giving effect
             to any Bid Advances then requested; and (C) Borrower shall not
             issue a Competitive Bid Request for a Bid


                                    Page 33
<PAGE>
             Advance having a term of other than 30, 60 or 90 days or a maturity
             date subsequent to the Maturity Date.

                         (2) The Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to,
             submit Competitive Bids in response to any Competitive Bid Request,
             and Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, accept any such
             offers. Subject to other provisions of this Section 2.1, the
             obligation of a Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of Advances shall
             be unaffected by its making of any Bid Advances, even if such
             Lender makes Bid Advances in an aggregate amount in excess of its
             Pro Rata Share of the Commitment.

                         (3) On the last day of each Fixed Rate Period
             applicable to any Bid Advances, Borrower shall pay to
             Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders
             making such Bid Advances, the full amount of the principal of such
             Bid Advances. Borrower shall not prepay all or any portion of the
             principal balance of any Bid Advance (i.e., make any payment of
             principal on any Bid Advance prior to the end of the Fixed Rate
             Period applicable to such Bid Advance) without the prior written
             consent of the Lender which made such Bid Advance (which consent
             may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of such
             Lender).

                     (B) Type of Bid Advances. Bid Advances made under this
        Section 2.1(a)(ii) may be Absolute Rate Bid Advances or Fixed Rate Bid
        Advances, subject, however, to Section 2.4(j).

                     (C) Bid Advance Borrowings.

                         (1) When Borrower desires to effect one or more
        borrowings consisting of one or more Bid Advances, but not more often
        than once in any period of thirty (30) consecutive days, Borrower shall
        notify Administrative Agent by telephone (followed promptly by a
        facsimile of the related Competitive Bid Request) no later than 8:00
        A.M. (California time), (x) in the case of a Fixed Rate Auction, five
        Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date of the requested
        borrowings, or (y) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, two Business
        Days prior to the proposed Funding Date of the requested borrowing(s),
        in each case, together with a fee payable to Administrative Agent in the
        amount of $1,500, specifying (together with the other information
        required to be provided pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request):

                             (a) the Funding Date of such borrowing(s), which
                 shall be a Business Day;

                             (b) the aggregate amount of such borrowing(s),
                 which, subject to the following proviso, shall be in a minimum
                 amount (subject to the limitations set forth in other
                 provisions of the Loan Documents) of $15,000,000 and in
                 integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, provided
                 that the aggregate amount of all Fixed Rate Bid


                                    Page 34
<PAGE>

                 Advances with the same Fixed Rate Period shall be in a minimum
                 amount of $15,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
                 excess thereof;

                             (c) whether the requested borrowing(s) is/are to be
                 made as either (1) one or more Fixed Rate Bid Advances or (2)
                 one or more Absolute Rate Bid Advances; and

                             (d) the duration of the requested Fixed Rate Period
                 (subject to the limitation that Borrower may request no more
                 than three Fixed Rate Periods in any single Competitive Bid
                 Request).

Borrower's right to request Competitive Bids for Bid Advances, and each Lender's
obligation to fund any Bid Advance pursuant to any Competitive Bid accepted by
Borrower, and all Bid Advances made from time to time, shall be subject in all
respects to the provisions of Section 2.4(j).

                         (2) On the same day that it receives a Competitive Bid
        Request, Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each of the
        Lenders by facsimile, attaching thereto notice of the date and time (as
        specified in Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) below) by which responses must be
        received in order to be considered by Borrower. The Competitive Bid
        Request shall not constitute an offer by Borrower, but merely an
        invitation to the Lenders to submit Competitive Bids with respect to the
        requested borrowing(s).

                         (3) (A) Each Lender may, in its sole and absolute
        discretion, submit a Competitive Bid, substantially in the form attached
        hereto as Exhibit B-3, containing an offer or offers to make Bid
        Advances in response to any Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive
        Bid must comply with the provisions of this Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) and
        must be submitted to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
        Competitive Bid being submitted by Administrative Agent in its capacity
        as a Lender, to Borrower), by facsimile, no later than 7:00 A.M. (or, in
        the case of a Competitive Bid by Administrative Agent, in its capacity
        as Lender, 6:30 A.M.), California time, (1) in the case of a Fixed Rate
        Auction, three Business Days prior to the Funding Date of the proposed
        Borrowing(s), or (2) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, on the
        Funding Date. Each Competitive Bid so submitted (subject only to the
        provisions of Section 2.1(a)(ii)(A)(1) above and to the satisfaction of
        all other conditions precedent to the requested Bid Advance(s)) shall be
        irrevocable, unless Borrower otherwise agrees in writing.

                     (B) Each Competitive Bid shall identify and be signed on
        behalf of the submitting Lender, shall specify the date of the proposed
        borrowing(s) specified in the Competitive Bid Request to which the
        submitting Lender is responding and shall specify:

                             (1) the principal amount of each Bid Advance for
                     which a Competitive Bid is being made (which shall not be
                     limited by the submitting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the


                                    Page 35
<PAGE>
                     Commitment, but which shall be in an amount, no greater
                     than the amount of the requested borrowing, equal to
                     $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
                     thereof); and

                             (2)(aa) in the case of a Fixed Rate Auction, the
                     LIBOR Bid Margin offered by the submitting Lender, or (bb)
                     in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the Absolute Rate
                     offered by the submitting Lender.

             A Competitive Bid may include up to three separate offers by the
             submitting Lender with respect to each Fixed Rate Period specified
             in the Competitive Bid Request to which it responds. Any
             Competitive Bid that (X) does not include all the information
             required by this Section, (Y) contains language that qualifies or
             conditions the submitting Lender's offer to make the Bid Advance(s)
             described therein or to otherwise make such an offer revocable or
             proposes terms other than (or in addition to) the terms proposed in
             the relevant Competitive Bid Request other than by setting an
             aggregate limit on the principal amount of Bid Advances for which
             offers being made by the submitting Lender may be accepted, or (Z)
             is received by Administrative Agent (or Borrower, as applicable)
             after the time set forth in this Section (unless amended to bring
             it into compliance with respect to any noncompliance described in
             clause (X) or (Y), in either case prior to the time set forth in
             this Section) shall be disregarded.

                         (4) Promptly upon receipt, but not later than 8:00 A.M.
             (California time) on the date by which Competitive Bids are
             required to have been submitted with respect to a Competitive Bid
             Request, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of (i)(A) the
             terms of each Competitive Bid (other than one that is to be
             disregarded as described above) received in response to the
             Competitive Bid Request, and (B) the identity of the Lender
             submitting such Competitive Bid, and (ii)(A) the aggregate
             principal amount of Bid Advances for which Competitive Bids have
             been received for each Fixed Rate Period requested in the
             Competitive Bid Request, and (B) the respective principal amounts
             and LIBOR Bid Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so
             offered.

                         (5) No later than 8:30 A.M. (California time) on the
             date by which Competitive Bids are required to have been submitted
             with respect to a Competitive Bid Request, Borrower shall notify
             Administrative Agent, by means of a notice reasonably acceptable to
             Administrative Agent in form, of its acceptance or rejection of the
             offers notified to it as provided in Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(4)
             above. Borrower shall have no obligation to accept any such offer,
             and may choose to reject all of them. If Borrower has failed to
             timely notify Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection
             of any one or more offers by the time specified in this Section,
             Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such offer(s). Borrower
             may accept any Competitive Bid (other than one that is to be
             disregarded as provided above) in whole or in part, provided that:


                                    Page 36
<PAGE>

                             (a) the aggregate principal amount of the
                     Competitive Bids so accepted may not exceed the aggregate
                     amount of the borrowing(s) requested in the relevant
                     Competitive Bid Request;

                             (b) (i) subject to the provisions set forth below
                     with respect to multiple offers at the same LIBOR Bid
                     Margin or Absolute Rate, the principal amount of each
                     accepted Competitive Bid must be in an amount equal to
                     $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
                     thereof and (ii) Competitive Bids must be accepted with
                     respect to an aggregate principal amount of at least
                     $15,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
                     thereof; and

                             (c) with respect to each Fixed Rate Period for
                     which Competitive Bids were requested, Borrower shall
                     accept offers solely on the basis of ascending LIBOR Bid
                     Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be (provided
                     that Borrower may, to the extent necessary to comply with
                     the preceding subparagraph (b), accept only part of an
                     offer at a particular LIBOR Bid Margin or Absolute Rate and
                     accept all or part of one or more offers at a higher LIBOR
                     Bid Margin or Absolute Rate).

                     If Borrower chooses to accept one or more offers, Borrower
                     shall deliver a notice to Administrative Agent by not later
                     than 8:30 A.M. (California time), in such form as
                     Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonable
                     request), specifying the aggregate principal amount of
                     offers with respect to each requested Fixed Rate Period
                     that it chooses to accept. If two or more Lenders offer the
                     same LIBOR Bid Margin or Absolute Rate for an aggregate
                     principal amount greater than the amount for which such
                     offers were requested (or greater than the remaining
                     portion of such offers that has not been allocated to
                     offers at lower Fixed Rate Bid Margins or Absolute Rates)
                     with respect to any requested Fixed Rate Period, Borrower
                     shall allocate the principal amount of the affected Bid
                     Advances among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such
                     multiples, not less than $1,000,000, as Borrower may deem
                     appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal
                     amounts to which their respective offers related.
                     Borrower's allocation, in the absence of manifest error,
                     shall be conclusive.

                         (6) Promptly upon receipt of the notice from Borrower
             pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(5) above, Administrative Agent
             shall promptly notify each Lender having submitted a Competitive
             Bid whether its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been
             accepted, of the amount of the Bid Advance(s) to be made by it on
             the date of the relevant borrowing(s).

                         (7) Promptly (but no later than one Business Day)
             following each borrowing of one or more Bid Advances,
             Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender (whether or not such
             Lender submitted a Competitive Bid with respect to such borrowing)
             of the ranges of Competitive Bids submitted and

                                    Page 37
<PAGE>
             the highest and lowest Competitive Bids accepted for each Fixed
             Rate Period requested by Borrower and of the aggregate amount of
             the Bid Advances made pursuant to such Borrowing.

                         (8) Upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in proper
             form requesting Competitive Bids to make a Bid Advance that is a
             Fixed Rate Advance under Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(1) above,
             Administrative Agent shall determine the Fixed Rate applicable to
             each of the Fixed Rate Periods specified in the Competitive Bid
             Request, and shall, two Business Days prior to the beginning of
             such Fixed Rate Period, send a Fixed Rate Notice specifying such
             rate (or rates, as the case may be) to Borrower and the Lenders;
             provided, however, that failure to give such notice to any Person
             shall not affect the validity of such rate.

                         (9) Not later than 10:00 A.M. (California time) on the
             date specified in such notice as the Funding Date, each Lender that
             submitted a Competitive Bid that was accepted by Borrower, subject
             to the terms and conditions hereof, shall make its Bid Advance
             available, in immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent.

                     (D) Funding of Bid Advances. Subject to and upon
        satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, as
        determined by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall make the
        proceeds of the requested Bid Advances available to Borrower in Dollars
        in immediately available funds in Borrower's deposit account referred to
        in Section 2.1(b).

                 (iii) Swing Line Advances

                     (A) There is hereby established a sub-facility (the "Swing
        Line"), in the amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), under and
        as a part of the Commitment. The Swing Line shall not for any purpose be
        an addition to the Commitment, but shall be a sub-feature thereunder.
        All Advances requested to be made pursuant to the Swing Line shall be
        subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to other Advances
        under the Commitment, and all outstanding Swing Line Advances shall
        likewise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to other
        outstanding Advances under the Commitment, except as expressly provided
        in (1) the following Section 2.1(a)(iii)(B), (2) Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(5)
        with respect to the number of Borrowings permitted in any calendar
        month, the time within which the Notice of Borrowing for Swing Line
        Advances must be given, the minimum and incremental amounts applicable
        to Swing Line Advances and the interest rate applicable thereto, (3)
        Section 2.6(a) with respect to prepayments of Swing Line Advances, and
        (4) Section 10.3(c).

                     (B) The Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to make Advances to
        Borrower from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to
        the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal
        amount not exceeding at any one time the lesser of (1) the Loan
        Availability less the outstanding principal of all Advances other than
        Swing Line Advances, and (2) Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). The

                                    Page 38
<PAGE>
        Swing Line Lender's obligation to fund Swing Line Advances shall be
        unaffected by its making of any other Loans, notwithstanding that the
        sum of the Swing Line Advances plus the Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata
        Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Commitment
        other than Swing Line Advances may exceed the Swing Line Lender's
        Commitment.

                     (C) Any Swing Line Advance which is not repaid (either by
        Borrower funds or by a Borrower requested Advance under the Loan) within
        five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Advance's date of funding
        shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3(c) hereof and
        for purposes of determining availability of Swing Line Advances, be
        converted to an Advance under the Loan (and no longer considered a Swing
        Line Advance), which Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate.

             (b) Making of Advances. Subject to Section 10.3 or as otherwise
provided herein, Administrative Agent shall deposit the proceeds of each new
Advance in Borrower's account number 001-223275 at the Beverly Hills Office of
City National Bank, in accordance with a separate, fully executed "Funds
Transfer Agreement" on Administrative Agent's standard form.

             (c) Term. The outstanding balance of the Advances shall be payable
in full on the earliest to occur of, (i) April 30, 2006 (as such date may be
extended pursuant to Section 2.1(d), (ii) the acceleration of the Advances
pursuant to Section 9.2(a), or (iii) Borrower's written notice to Administrative
Agent (pursuant to Section 2.8) of Borrower's election to prepay all accrued
Obligations and terminate the Commitment (said earliest date referred to herein
as the "Maturity Date").

             (d) Extension of the Maturity Date. During the period commencing
not more than two-hundred seventy (270) days prior to, and ending not less than
one hundred-eighty (180) days prior to, the Maturity Date, Borrower may request
the Lenders' approval of a one-year extension of the Maturity Date by delivering
written notice of such request to Administrative Agent. Within five (5) Business
Days after Administrative Agent's receipt of such written request,
Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such written request to each
Lender. Each Lender may approve or refrain from approving such requested
extension in its sole and absolute discretion. If any Lender does not give
Administrative Agent written notice of such Lender's approval of such requested
extension within thirty (30) days after such Lender's receipt of a copy of the
written request for such extension from Administrative Agent, such Lender shall
be deemed to have disapproved such extension. Such requested extension shall
become effective only if (A) it is approved by Lenders whose Pro Rata Shares, in
the aggregate, constitute at least eighty percent (80%) of the total Commitment
and (B) if such requested extension is approved by the required, but not by all
of the, Lenders, either (i) one or more of the approving Lenders may, but shall
not be required to, purchase the Pro Rata Share(s) of the dissenting Lender(s),
(ii) a new Lender or Lenders may purchase the Pro Rata Share(s) of the
dissenting Lender(s), or (iii) if one or more of the approving Lenders have not
elected to purchase the Pro Rata Share(s) of the dissenting Lender(s) and if no
new Lender or Lenders have elected to purchase the Pro Rata Share(s) of the
dissenting Lender(s), then Borrower, on the original Maturity Date, shall
terminate the Commitments of the dissenting Lender(s) and repay all amounts
owing to the dissenting Lender(s) hereunder and under the Notes. If such
requested extension becomes

                                    Page 39
<PAGE>
effective in accordance with the preceding sentence, upon payment by Borrower of
the extension fee required by Section 2.5(d), the original Maturity Date shall
be extended to April 30, 2007 as to all Lenders other than the dissenting
Lender(s). In all other cases, the original Maturity Date shall not be extended.

             (e) Prior Loan.

                 (i) Effective as of the Closing Date, all Indebtedness and
        Obligations of Borrower relating to the Prior Loan and arising under the
        Prior Credit Agreement, the Prior Notes and any other Prior Loan
        Documents are hereby amended and restated in full by this Agreement, the
        Notes and the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the Prior Notes shall
        be canceled and promptly thereafter returned to Borrower upon request.
        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the
        Closing Date, the commitment of the Prior Lenders to make additional
        Advances under (and as defined in) the Prior Credit Agreement shall
        automatically terminate, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that,
        effective as of the Closing Date, no Original Lender (or any Lender)
        shall have any further obligations to Borrower under the Prior Credit
        Agreement, the Prior Notes or any other Prior Loan Document.

                 (ii) Effective as of August 9, 2002, certain of the Lenders
        shall purchase, and certain of the Lenders shall sell, to one another,
        the percentage interest in the Commitment as reflected in Schedule
        2.1(e) hereto, in order to reallocate the Carryover Principal Balance
        under the Notes among the Lenders to correspond to the Pro Rata Shares
        of the Lenders specified in Schedule 1.1 hereto. The applicable purchase
        price payments are specified in Schedule 2.1(e) hereto and are referred
        to herein as the "Adjusting Purchase Payments". The Adjusting Purchase
        Payments shall be made to Administrative Agent by the applicable
        purchasing Lender by Federal Reserve wire transfer initiated by the
        payor no later than 8:00 A.M. (California time) on August 9, 2002. Upon
        receipt of all such payments, Administrative Agent shall promptly send
        appropriate portions thereof to the selling Lenders by Federal Reserve
        wire transfer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
        Adjusting Purchase Payments do not include interest or fees, which
        Borrower is obligated pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1(j) to pay
        through and including August 9, 2002.


                                    Page 40
<PAGE>

        2.2. Authorization to Obtain Advances. Schedule 2.2 sets forth the names
of those employees of Borrower authorized by Borrower to sign Notices of
Borrowing, and Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely on
such Schedule until notified in writing by Borrower of any change(s) of the
persons so authorized. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act on the
instructions of anyone identifying himself or herself as one of the Persons
authorized to execute a Notice of Borrowing, and Borrower shall be bound thereby
in the same manner as if such Person were actually so authorized. Borrower
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lenders and Administrative Agent harmless
from and against any and all Liabilities and Costs which may arise or be created
by the acceptance of instructions in any Notice of Borrowing, unless caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified.

        2.3. Lenders' Accounting. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan
account (the "Loan Account") on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the
names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of each of the
Lenders, and the principal amount of Advances owing to each Lender from time to
time, and (b) all Advances and repayments of principal and payments of accrued
interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this
Agreement, and prepayments under the Swing Line. All entries in the Loan Account
shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent's customary accounting
practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly or at such other interval as
is customary with Administrative Agent's practice, Administrative Agent will
render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and will deliver a copy
thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and
conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein
(absent manifest error).

        2.4. Interest on the Advances.

             (a) Base Rate Advances; Swing Line Advances. Subject to Section
2.4(f), all Base Rate Advances shall bear interest on the daily unpaid principal
amount thereof from the date made until paid in full at a fluctuating rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate. Base Rate Advances shall be made in minimum
amounts of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). All Swing Line
Advances shall bear interest on the daily unpaid principal amount thereof from
the date made until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in
effect during such time period less the Applicable Swing Line Advance Margin.

             (b) LIBOR Advances. Subject to Sections 2.4(f) and 2.4(j), LIBOR
Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof during the
Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin. LIBOR
Advances shall be in amounts of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000) increments in excess thereof. No more than eight (8)
LIBOR Advances shall be outstanding at any one time. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein and subject to the default interest provisions
contained in Section 2.4(f), if an Event of Default occurs and as a result
thereof the Commitment is terminated, all LIBOR Advances will convert to Base
Rate Advances upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Periods therefor or
the date all Advances become due, whichever occurs first.


                                    Page 41
<PAGE>

             (c) Absolute Rate Bid Advances. Subject to Section 2.4(f), all
Absolute Rate Bid Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
thereof during the Fixed Rate Period applicable thereto at a fixed rate per
annum equal to the Absolute Rate quoted by the Lender making such Bid Advance
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) and accepted by Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(5).

             (d) Fixed Rate Bid Advances. Subject to Sections 2.4(f) and 2.4(j),
Fixed Rate Bid Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
thereof during the Fixed Rate Period applicable thereto at a fixed rate per
annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus or minus the LIBOR Bid Margin quoted by the
Lender making such Bid Advance pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) and accepted
by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(5).

             (e) Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.4(f), interest accrued
on all Advances shall be payable by Borrower, in the manner provided in Section
2.6(b) in arrears on the first Business Day of the first calendar month
following the Closing Date, the first Business Day of each succeeding calendar
month thereafter, and on the Maturity Date.

             (f) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest
specified in Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) and the payment dates specified in
Section 2.4(e), effective at the option of Requisite Lenders following the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the principal
balance of all Advances then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any interest payments not paid when due, shall bear interest,
payable upon demand, at a rate which is five percent (5%) per annum in excess of
the rate(s) of interest otherwise payable from time to time under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the other Loan
Documents, all other amounts due Administrative Agent or the Lenders (whether
directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid
within ten (10) days after demand, shall bear interest from and after demand at
the rate set forth in this Section 2.4(f).

             (g) Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to
Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and the Lenders to incur
costs not contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without
limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails
timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity Date,
unless waived by Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of this
Section 2.4(g) or by the Requisite Lenders, a late charge of four cents ($.04)
for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge which is
due hereon and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is
due, shall be charged by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) and
paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling
such delinquent payment. Borrower, the Lenders and Administrative Agent agree
that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the
circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and the Lenders will incur by
reason of late payment. Borrower, the Lenders and Administrative Agent further
agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance
of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to
the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from
exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or under any other Loan
Document. Such late charge

                                    Page 42
<PAGE>
shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of
Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Lenders agree that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, no such late charge shall be charged by Administrative Agent or any
Lender if the outstanding Advances are then bearing interest at the default rate
of interest set forth in Section 2.4(f). Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to,
or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees
provided for in this Section 2.4(g) up to a maximum of three (3) times per
calendar year.

             (h) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest
or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. In computing
interest on any Advance, subject to Section 2.6(b), the date of the making of
the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded;
provided, however, that if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is
made, one (1) day's interest shall be paid on that Advance. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Section 2.4, interest in respect of any Advance shall not
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

             (i) Changes; Legal Restrictions. In the event that, after the
Closing Date, (A) the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule,
regulation, guideline or determination of a court or Governmental Authority or
any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a court or
Governmental Authority, or (B) compliance by Administrative Agent or any Lender
with any request or directive made or issued after the Closing Date (whether or
not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith
would be unlawful) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-governmental authority:

                 (i) subjects Administrative Agent or any Lender to any tax,
        duty or other charge of any kind with respect to the Commitment, this
        Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including the Notes or the
        Advances, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Administrative
        Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount
        payable hereunder, except for net income, gross receipts, gross profits
        or franchise taxes imposed by any jurisdiction and not specifically
        based upon loan transactions (all such non-excepted taxes, duties and
        other charges being hereinafter referred to as "Lender Taxes");

                 (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable, in the
        determination of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any reserve,
        special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance, capital allocation or
        similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
        liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other
        credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, Administrative
        Agent or such Lender or any applicable lending office (except to the
        extent that the reserve and FDIC insurance requirements are reflected in
        the "Base Rate" or in determining the LIBOR Rate); or

                 (iii) imposes on Administrative Agent or any Lender any other
        condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence
        than those in existence as of the Closing Date,

                                    Page 43
<PAGE>

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative
Agent or any Lender of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in the
Advances or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then in any such case,
Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, within seven (7) days after Borrower's receipt of written demand,
such amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation this Agreement and
affected by this Section 2.4(i)) as may be necessary to compensate
Administrative Agent or such Lender for any such additional cost incurred or
reduced amounts received. Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to
Borrower and in the case of a delivery by such Lender, such Lender shall also
deliver to Administrative Agent, a written statement of the claimed additional
costs incurred or reduced amounts received and the basis therefor as soon as
reasonably practicable after such Lender obtains knowledge thereof. If
Administrative Agent or any Lender subsequently recovers any amount of Lender
Taxes previously paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(i), whether
before or after termination of this Agreement, then, upon receipt of good funds
with respect to such recovery, Administrative Agent or such Lender will refund
such amount to Borrower if no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
then exists or, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then
exists, such amount will be credited to the Obligations in the manner determined
by Administrative Agent or such Lender.

             (j) Certain Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid
Advances and Absolute Rate Bid Advances.

                 (i) Certain Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine
        (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrower and
        Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto)
        that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in or in
        the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or
        other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such
        Lender to make or maintain any Advance as a LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate
        Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance, (A) the obligations of such
        Lender to make or maintain any Advances as LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate
        Bid Advances or Absolute Rate Bid Advances shall, upon such
        determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify
        Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no
        longer exist (and such Lender shall give notice if such circumstances no
        longer exist), and (B) if required by such law or assertion, the
        existing LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances or Absolute Rate Bid
        Advances of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate
        Advances.

                 (ii) Deposits Unavailable. If Administrative Agent shall have
        determined in good faith that adequate means do not exist for
        ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Advances,
        Fixed Rate Bid Advances or Absolute Rate Bid Advances, then, upon notice
        from Administrative Agent to Borrower the obligations of all the Lenders
        to make or maintain Advances as LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances
        or Absolute Rate Bid Advances shall forthwith be suspended until
        Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower that the circumstances
        causing such suspension no longer exist. Administrative Agent will give
        such notice when it determines, in good faith, that such circumstances
        no longer exist; provided, however,


                                    Page 44
<PAGE>
        that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any
        liability to any Person with respect to any delay in giving such notice.

                 (iii) Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower acknowledges that
        prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or
        Absolute Rate Bid Advance during an Interest Period shall result in the
        Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that
        it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of
        such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. (For all purposes of this
        subparagraph (iii), any Advance not being made as a LIBOR Advance, Fixed
        Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance in accordance with the
        Notice of Borrowing therefor, as a result of Borrower's cancellation
        thereof, shall be treated as if such LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid
        Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance had been prepaid.) Therefore, on
        the date a LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid
        Advance is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and
        payable, by acceleration or otherwise ("Price Adjustment Date"),
        Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each
        Lender (or the applicable Lender in the case of a Fixed Rate Bid Advance
        or Absolute Rate Bid Advance), in addition to all other sums then owing,
        an amount ("Fixed Rate Price Adjustment") equal to the then present
        value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the LIBOR
        Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance for the
        remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR
        Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance, less (B)
        the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Advance,
        Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance for the same period
        if the LIBOR Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date. The present
        value shall be calculated by using as a discount rate the LIBOR Rate
        quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.

        By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms
        that Lenders' agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on
        the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents
        constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight
        by Borrower, for this agreement.

             BORROWER'S INITIALS:      _________________

        Within seven (7) days after Borrower's receipt of written notice from
        Administrative Agent, Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative
        Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment
        as calculated by Administrative Agent. Such written notice (which shall
        include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
        manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

                 (iv) Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the
        following: (A) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or
        match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR Rate as a basis for
        calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Advance or a Fixed Rate
        Price Adjustment; (B) the LIBOR Rate is used merely as a reference in
        determining such rate and/or Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; and (C)
        Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for
        calculating such rate and a Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower
        further agrees to pay the Fixed Rate Price

                                    Page 45
<PAGE>
        Adjustment and Lender Taxes, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to
        purchase, sell and/or match funds.

             (k) Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five (5) Business Days
prior to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the
account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of
the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to
Administrative Agent and Borrower two (2) duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (and any necessary Form
W-8IMY), certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without any deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes and a valid and duly completed and executed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8ECI further undertakes to deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower
two (2) additional copies of such form (or any applicable successor form) on or
before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered
by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower, in each case
certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without any deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,
unless an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with
respect to it and such Lender advises Administrative Agent that it is not
capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United
States federal income taxes. If any Lender cannot deliver such form or delivers
one or more such forms indicating that such Lender is entitled to only a partial
exemption from withholding, then Borrower may withhold from such payments such
amounts as are required by the Code.

        2.5. Fees.

             (a) Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the fees in
respect of the Commitment pursuant to a separate agreement between
Administrative Agent and Borrower.

             (b) Facility Fee. Until the Obligations are paid in full and this
Agreement is terminated or, if sooner, the date the Commitment terminates, and
subject to Section 10.4(b), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Lender, a fee (the "Facility Fee") in an amount equal to (i) the
Commitment multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Facility Fee Rate. The Facility Fee
shall be payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.5(e), in arrears on the
first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, and shall be payable on the Maturity
Date or, if sooner, the date the Commitment terminates or on the date of payment
in full of all Obligations. The Facility Fee shall be prorated for any period of
less than a full Fiscal Quarter.

             (c) Agency Fees. Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent such fees
as are provided for in the agency fee agreement between Administrative Agent and
Borrower, as in existence from time to time.


                                    Page 46
<PAGE>

             (d) Extension Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for
distribution to each Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.5(d), collectively,
the "approving Lenders") which approved the extension and which holds a Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment following the approval of such extension pursuant to
Section 2.1(d), and to each new Lender which purchased the Pro Rata Share of a
dissenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.1(d), a fee in an amount equal to, as
applicable, (i) 0.30% of the Commitment payable to each such approving Lender or
new Lender with a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment equal to or greater than
$50,000,000, or (ii) 0.20% of the Commitment payable to each such approving
Lender or new Lender with a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of less than
$50,000,000. Such fee shall be due and payable by Borrower to Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the approving Lenders within three (3) Business Days
after Borrower's receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent of the
approval of the extension and by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of each such new Lender within three (3) Business Days after such new
Lender purchases such new Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment.

             (e) Payment of Fees. The fees described in this Section 2.5
represent compensation for services rendered and to be rendered separate and
apart from the lending of money or the provision of credit and do not constitute
compensation for the use, detention or forbearance of money, and the obligation
of Borrower to pay the fees described herein shall be in addition to, and not in
lieu of, the obligation of Borrower to pay interest, other fees and expenses
otherwise described in this Agreement. All fees shall be payable when due in
immediately available funds and shall be nonrefundable when paid. If Borrower
fails to make any payment of fees or expenses specified or referred to in this
Agreement due to Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including without
limitation those referred to in this Section 2.5, in Section 11.1, or otherwise
under this Agreement or any separate fee agreement between Borrower and
Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to this Agreement, when due, the
amount due shall bear interest until paid at the Base Rate and after ten (10)
days at the rate specified in Section 2.4(f) (but not to exceed the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law), and shall constitute part of the Obligations. The
Facility Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed.

        2.6. Payments.

             (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(A)(3),
Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the date
given, at any time and from time to time, prepay any Advances in whole or in
part, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, upon written
notice given not later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the proposed date
of repayment, prepay Swing Line Advances in whole or in part on such date. If,
at the time of prepayment of the Advances, there are outstanding any Swing Line
Advances, such prepayment shall be applied first to the prepayment of
outstanding Swing Line Advances, and second to the prepayment of other Advances.
Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.6(a)
shall specify the date of prepayment and the aggregate principal amount of the
prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of LIBOR Advances, Borrower shall pay
any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof in accordance with
Section 2.4(j). Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender a confirming
copy of such notice on the same Business Day such notice is received.

                                    Page 47
<PAGE>

             (b) Mandatory Prepayment. To the extent Borrower at any time and
for any reason is not in compliance with Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)(2), Borrower shall
promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, repay Advances
outstanding hereunder in an amount sufficient to cause compliance with such
Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)(2).

             (c) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest
and fees hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be made
without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim,
in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent's written wire
transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent,
for the account of each Lender entitled thereto not later than 11:00 A. M. (San
Francisco time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent
after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next
succeeding Business Day.

             (d) Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made
by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of
interest hereunder and of any of the fees specified in Section 2.5, as the case
may be.

        2.7. Notice of Increased Costs. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as
reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or
the existence of a condition which would cause it to be affected by any of the
events or conditions described in Section 2.4(i) or (j), it will notify
Borrower, and provide a copy of such notice to Administrative Agent, of such
event and the possible effects thereof, provided that the failure to provide
such notice shall not affect such Lender's rights to reimbursement provided for
herein. Provided no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right (the "Payoff Right") to pay to
such Lender all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts
(collectively, the "Payoff Amount") due such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including amounts due such Lender under Section 2.4(i)).
Borrower may exercise the Payoff Right only by delivering written notice of
Borrower's exercise of such Payoff Right to such Lender, the Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders within fifteen (15) days after Borrower's receipt of
written notice from such Lender that Borrower owes amounts under Section 2.4(i)
and thereafter paying, in immediately available funds, the Payoff Amount to such
Lender within such 15-day period. Upon such Lender's receipt of the Payoff
Amount, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment shall be terminated, the
Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share
of the Commitment and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of the remaining
Lenders shall be adjusted and the Administrative Agent shall give written notice
to each of the Lenders of the adjusted Pro Rata Shares.

        2.8. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitment. At any time prior
to the Maturity Date, Borrower may, upon not less than five (5) Business Days'
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitment in
effect or permanently reduce the Commitment in effect by an aggregate minimum
amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) or any multiple of Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) in excess thereof, provided, however, that no such
termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and
to any prepayment of Advances made on the effective date of such termination or
reduction,

                                    Page 48
<PAGE>
as the case may be, the then outstanding principal amount of the Advances would
exceed the Commitment in effect; provided further, however, that once terminated
or reduced in accordance with this Section 2.8, the Commitment in effect may not
thereafter be reinstated or increased (provided that, if the Commitment is
reduced (but not terminated) pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Commitment may
thereafter be increased pursuant to Section 2.9) and provided further, however,
that although the Commitment in effect may be terminated entirely pursuant to
this Section 2.8, the Commitment in effect shall not be reduced below One
Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000). All accrued and unpaid fees due under
Section 2.5 with respect to the portion of the Commitment in effect being
terminated or reduced shall be paid to the Administrative Agent on the funding
date of such termination or reduction.

        2.9. Optional Increase to the Commitment.

             (a) Provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
then exists, Borrower may, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9
and on no more than two (2) occasions prior to the date occurring ninety (90)
days prior to the original Maturity Date, request in writing that the then
effective Commitment be increased up to $350,000,000 minus the amount of any
reductions to the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 and/or Section 2.8 and the
amount of any previous increase in Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.9,
provided, however, that no such request shall be for an increase amount less
than $20,000,000. Any request under this Section shall be submitted by Borrower
to the Lenders through Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior
to the proposed increase, specify the proposed effective date and amount of such
increase and be accompanied by (i) an Officer's Certificate of the REIT stating
that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists as of the date of
the request or will result from the requested increase, (ii) a written consent
to the increase in the amount of the Commitment executed by the REIT (in its
capacity as "Guarantor" under the Guaranty) and (iii) the satisfaction of all
conditions precedent specified in Section 3.2. Borrower may also specify any
fees offered to those Lenders which agree to an increase in the amount of their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment (which fees may be variable based
upon the amount which any such Lender is willing to assume as an increase to the
amount of its Pro Rata Share of the increased Commitment). The consent of the
Lenders, as such, shall not be required for an increase in the amount of the
Commitment pursuant to this Section.

             (b) Each Lender may approve or reject a request for an increase in
the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment in its sole and absolute
discretion and, absent an affirmative written response within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of such request, shall be deemed to have rejected the request. The
rejection of such a request by any number of Lenders shall not affect Borrower's
right to increase the Commitment pursuant to this Section as a result of, and
with respect to the Pro Rata Shares of, those Lenders that approve such increase
and such additional Lenders that join this Agreement in accordance with clause
(e) of this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Lender which
rejects a request for an increase in the Commitment shall be (i) subject to
removal as a Lender, (ii) obligated to lend any amount greater than its original
Pro Rata Share of the original Commitment, or (iii) deemed to be in default in
any respect hereunder.

             (c) In responding to a request under this Section, each Lender
which is willing to increase the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the increased
Commitment shall specify the

                                    Page 49
<PAGE>
amount of the proposed increase which it is willing to assume. Each consenting
Lender shall be entitled to participate ratably (based on its Pro Rata Share of
the Commitment before such increase) in any resulting increase in the
Commitment, subject to the right of Administrative Agent to adjust allocations
of the increased Commitment so as to result in the amounts of the Pro Rata
Shares of the Lenders being in integral multiples of $1,000,000.

             (d) If the aggregate principal amount offered to be assumed by the
consenting Lenders is less than the amount requested, Borrower may (i) reject
the proposed increase in its entirety, (ii) accept the offered amounts or (iii)
designate new lenders who qualify as eligible assignees under Section 11.20 and
which are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent as additional Lenders
hereunder in accordance with clause (e) of this Section (each, a "New Lender"),
which New Lenders may assume the amount of the increase in the Commitment that
has not been assumed by the consenting Lenders.

             (e) Each New Lender designated by Borrower and reasonably
acceptable to Administrative Agent shall become an additional party hereto as a
New Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of the proposed increase in the
Commitment upon its execution of an instrument of joinder to this Agreement
which is in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and which, in
any event, contains the representations, warranties, indemnities and other
protections afforded to Administrative Agent and the other Lenders which would
be granted or made by an eligible assignee under Section 11.20 by means of the
execution of an Assignment and Assumption.

             (f) Subject to the foregoing, any increase to the Commitment
requested under this Section shall be effective as of the date proposed by
Borrower and shall be in the principal amount equal to (i) the amount which
consenting Lenders are willing to assume as increases to the amount of their
respective Pro Rata Shares plus (ii) the amount offered by any New Lenders. Upon
the effectiveness of any such increase, Borrower shall issue replacement Notes
to each affected Lender and new Notes to each New Lender, and the percentage Pro
Rata Share of each Lender will be adjusted, higher or lower as needed, to give
effect to the increase in the Commitment and set forth in a new Schedule 1.1
issued by Administrative Agent. On or prior to such effective date and as
applicable, certain of the Lenders shall purchase, and certain of the Lenders
shall sell, to one another, the percentage interest in the Commitment as
necessary in order to reallocate the principal balance under the Notes among the
Lenders to correspond to the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders set forth in the new
Schedule 1.1 referred to above.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                             CONDITIONS TO ADVANCES

        3.1. Conditions to Effectiveness; Initial Advances. The effectiveness of
this Agreement and the obligation of the Lenders to make the initial Advances in
accordance with Section 2.1(e) shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by
the Requisite Lenders of each of the following conditions precedent on or before
August 9, 2002:

             (a) Borrower Loan Documents. Borrower shall have executed and

<PAGE>

                 (i) this Agreement;

                 (ii) the Notes; and


                 (iii) all other documents which Administrative Agent reasonably
        requires to be executed by or on behalf of Borrower.

             (b) REIT Loan Documents. The REIT shall have executed and delivered
to Administrative Agent each of the following, in form and substance acceptable
to Administrative Agent and each other Lender:

                 (i) the Guaranty; and

                 (ii) all other documents which Administrative Agent reasonably
        requires to be executed by or on behalf of the REIT.

             (c) Corporate and Partnership Documents. Administrative Agent shall
have received the corporate and partnership formation and other governing
documents of the Borrower and the REIT, and a certificate of each such entity's
Secretary or an officer comparable thereto with respect to authorization,
incumbency and all organizational documents.

             (d) Solvency. Each of the REIT and Borrower shall be Solvent and
shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Solvency Certificate to that
effect.

             (e) Fees and Expenses. Administrative Agent shall have received all
fees then due to Administrative Agent and to the Lenders and shall have received
reimbursement for all costs and expenses for which Borrower is obligated

                                   ARTICLE 4
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        4.1. Representations and Warranties as to Borrower, Etc. In order to
induce the Lenders to make the Advances, Borrower hereby represents and warrants
to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

             (a) Organization; Partnership Powers. Borrower (i) is a limited
partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of Maryland, (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited
partnership and in good standing under the laws of California and each other
jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the nature of
its business requires it to be so qualified, except for those jurisdictions
where failure to so qualify and be in good standing would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on Borrower, and (iii) has all requisite partnership power and
authority to own, operate and encumber its Property and assets and to conduct
its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted in
connection with and following the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents.

             (b) Authority. Borrower has the requisite partnership power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it
is or will be a party. The execution, delivery and performance thereof, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized
by all necessary actions. Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a
party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles.

             (c) Ownership of Borrower. All of the Partnership Units of Borrower
are validly issued and non-assessable and as of the Closing Date are owned of
record by the REIT or by the Persons (and in the amounts) set forth on Schedule
4.1(c), as amended from time to time.

                                    Page 53
<PAGE>
As of June 30, 2002, the REIT owns 1,729,825 Partnership Units of Borrower, free
and clear of any Liens. Such Partnership Units were offered and sold in
compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law (including,
without limitation, federal and state securities laws). Except as set forth in
Schedule 4.1(c), as of the Closing Date there are no outstanding securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Partnership Units of Borrower, or options,
warrants or rights to purchase any such Partnership Units, or commitments of any
kind for the issuance of additional Partnership Units or any such convertible or
exchangeable securities or options, warrants or rights to purchase such
Partnership Units. The REIT is the sole general partner of Borrower.

             (d) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is or will be a party, and each of
the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (i) conflict with or
violate Borrower's limited partnership agreement or certificate of limited
partnership or other organizational documents, as the case may be, or (ii)
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under any Requirement of Law, Contractual
Obligation or Court Order of or binding upon Borrower, which would have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or (iii) require termination of any
Contractual Obligation, which termination would have a Material Adverse Effect
on Borrower or (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien
whatsoever upon any of the Properties or assets of Borrower (other than
Permitted Liens).

             (e) Consents and Authorizations. Borrower has obtained all consents
and authorizations required pursuant to its Contractual Obligations with any
other Person, and shall have obtained all consents and authorizations of, and
effected all notices to and filings with, any Governmental Authority, as may be
necessary to allow Borrower to lawfully execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, except to the
extent that failure to obtain any such consent or authorization or to effect
such notice or filing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

             (f) Governmental Regulation. Neither Borrower nor the REIT is
subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the
Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, the Investment Company Act of
1940 or any other federal or state statute or regulation such that its ability
to incur indebtedness is limited or its ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents is materially impaired.

             (g) Financial Statements; Projections and Forecasts. Each of the
financial statements to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
5.1(b) and Section 5.1(c) (i) has been, or will be, as applicable, prepared in
accordance with the books and records of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities
on a consolidated basis, and (ii) either fairly present in all material
respects, or will fairly present in all material respects, as applicable, the
financial condition of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities on a consolidated
basis, at the dates thereof (and, if applicable, subject to normal year-end
adjustments) and the results of its operations and cash flows, on a consolidated
basis, for the period then ended. Each of the projections delivered to
Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof and each of the projected
consolidated cash flows to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 5.1(e), (A) has been, or will be, as applicable, prepared by the REIT in
light of the past business and performance of the REIT or its predecessors in
interest on a consolidated basis and (B) represent, or will represent,

                                    Page 54
<PAGE>
as of the date thereof, the reasonable good faith estimates of the REIT's
financial personnel as of their respective dates.

             (h) Prior Operating Statements. Each of the operating statements
pertaining to each of the Unencumbered Assets in the Unencumbered Pool prepared
by Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof was
prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date such operating statement

operations of such Unencumbered Asset for the period then ended; provided,
however, that no representation is made with respect to any period prior to the
ownership of such Unencumbered Asset by Borrower.

             (i) Unencumbered Pool Statements and Projections. Each of the
Unencumbered Pool Statements to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 5.1(f) (i) has been or will be, as applicable, prepared in accordance
with the books and records of the applicable Unencumbered Asset and (ii) fairly
presents or will fairly present in all material respects, as applicable, the
results of operations of such Unencumbered Asset for the period then ended;
provided, however, that no representation is made with respect to any period
prior to the ownership of such Unencumbered Asset by Borrower.

             (j) Litigation; Adverse Effects.

                 (i) Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 4.1(j), there is
        no action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration,
        at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority, pending
        or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, threatened against Borrower or
        any Property of Borrower which, if adversely determined, would result in
        a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

                 (ii) Borrower is not (A) in violation of any applicable law,
        which violation has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, or (B)
        subject to or in default with respect to any Court Order which has a
        Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. There are no material Proceedings
        pending or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, threatened against
        Borrower or any Unencumbered Asset which, if adversely decided, would
        have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

             (k) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2001, (i) there
has occurred no event which has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, and (ii)
no material adverse change in Borrower's ability to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents to which it is a party or the transactions contemplated
thereby has occurred.

             (l) Payment of Taxes. All tax returns and reports to be filed by
Borrower have been timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other
governmental charges shown on such returns or otherwise payable by Borrower have
been paid when due and payable (other than real property taxes, which may be
paid prior to delinquency so long as no penalty or interest shall attach
thereto), except such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with
GAAP and are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or such
taxes, the failure to make payment of which when due and payable will not have,
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. Borrower has no
knowledge of any proposed tax assessment

                                    Page 55
<PAGE>
against Borrower that will have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, which is
not being actively contested in good faith by Borrower.

             (m) Material Adverse Agreements. Borrower is not a party to or
subject to any Contractual Obligation or other restriction contained in its
limited partnership agreement, certificate of limited partnership or similar
governing documents which has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

             (n) Performance. Borrower is not in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions
contained in any Contractual Obligation applicable to it, and no condition
exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default under such Contractual Obligation, except where the
consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, will not
have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

             (o) Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the
Advances hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any "margin security" as
defined in Regulation U or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any
indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin
security or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a
"purpose credit" within the meaning of said Regulation U. Neither Borrower nor
the REIT is engaged primarily in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying out any "margin stock" as defined in
Regulation U. No part of the proceeds of the Advances hereunder will be used for
any purpose that violates, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of
Regulation X or any other regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

             (p) Disclosure. The representations and warranties of Borrower
contained in the Loan Documents and all certificates, financial statements and
other documents delivered to Administrative Agent in connection therewith, do
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary, in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided
no representation is made as to any information in the financial reports for any
Real Property prior to its ownership by Borrower. The factual information in any
document, certificate or written statement (including, without limitation, the
S-11) furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the REIT or any
other Consolidated Entity with respect to the business, assets, prospects,
results of operations or financial condition of the REIT, Borrower or any other
Consolidated Entity, including operating statements, lease status reports and
Rent Rolls for periods when the Real Property covered by such statements or Rent
Rolls is owned by Borrower, for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, was true and correct in all material respects as
of the applicable date. There is no fact known to the REIT, Borrower or any
Consolidated Entity that has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, the REIT
and/or any such Consolidated Entity or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, the REIT and/or any such Consolidated
Entity, which has not been disclosed herein or in such other documents,
certificates and statements. Borrower has given to Administrative Agent true,
correct and complete copies of all Major Agreements, organizational documents,
financial statements of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities, Unencumbered
Pool Statements and all other documents and instruments referred to in the Loan
Documents as having been delivered to Administrative Agent, provided, however
(without limiting any Borrower

                                    Page 56
<PAGE>
obligations arising after the date hereof), with respect to Unencumbered Assets
contained in the Unencumbered Pool as of the date hereof, Borrower shall not be
required to deliver any additional Major Agreements in existence as of the date
hereof which were not previously delivered to Administrative Agent. Borrower has
not intentionally withheld any material fact from Administrative Agent in regard
to any matter raised in the Loan Documents which would cause its representations
and warranties to be misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to
projections of Borrower's future performance such representations and warranties
are made in good faith and to the best judgment of Borrower as of the date
thereof.

             (q) Requirements of Law. The REIT and the Consolidated Entities are
in compliance with all Requirements of Law (including without limitation the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, and the applicable rules and
regulations thereunder, state securities law and "Blue Sky" laws) applicable to
it and its respective businesses, in each case, where the failure to so comply
will have a Material Adverse Effect on any such Person. The REIT has made all
filings with and obtained all consents of the Commission required under the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the REIT of the Loan Documents.

             (r) Patents, Trademarks, Permits, Etc. The REIT and the
Consolidated Entities own, are licensed or otherwise have the lawful right to
use, or have, all permits and other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks,
trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes used in or necessary
for the conduct of each such Person's business as currently conducted, the
absence of which would have a Material Adverse Effect upon such Person. The use
of such permits and other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade
names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes by each such Person does
not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and
infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liability on the
part of any such Person which would have a Material Adverse Effect on any such
Person.

             (s) Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(s)
or in any phase I environmental or other reports delivered to Administrative
Agent, to the best knowledge of Borrower (i) the operations of the REIT and
Borrower comply in all material respects with all applicable, local, state and
federal environmental, health and safety Requirements of Law ("Environmental
Laws"); (ii) none of the Unencumbered Assets or operations thereon are subject
to any Remedial Action or other Liabilities and Costs arising from the Release
or threatened Release of a Contaminant into the environment in violation of any
Environmental Laws, which Remedial Action or other Liabilities and Costs would
have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower and/or the REIT; (iii) neither the
REIT nor Borrower has filed any notice under applicable Environmental Laws
reporting a Release of a Contaminant into the environment in violation of any
Environmental Laws, except as the same may have been heretofore remedied; (iv)
there is not now on or in any Unencumbered Assets (except in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws): (A) any underground
storage tanks, (B) any asbestos-containing material, or (C) any polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCB's) used in hydraulic oils, electrical transformers or other
equipment owned by such Person; and (v) neither the REIT nor Borrower has
received any notice or claim to the effect that it is or may be liable to any
Person as a result of the Release or threatened Release of a Contaminant into
the environment which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the REIT or any of
the Consolidated Entities.

             (t) Solvency. Borrower is and will be Solvent after giving effect
to the disbursements of the Advances and the payment and accrual of all fees
then payable.

             (u) Title to Assets. Borrower has good, indefeasible and
merchantable title to all Properties, including, without limitation, all
Unencumbered Assets, owned or leased by it.

             (v) Management Agreements. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1(v)
(as amended from time to time), Borrower is not a party or subject to any
management or "ground" leasing agreement with respect to any of the Properties
included within the Unencumbered Pool.

        4.2. Representations and Warranties as to the REIT. In order to induce

        no action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration,
        at law or in equity, by or before any Governmental Authority, pending

        Property of the REIT, which will (A) result in a Material Adverse Effect
        on the REIT, (B) materially and adversely affect the ability of any

        thereunder, or (C) materially and adversely affect the ability of the
        REIT to perform its obligations as contemplated in the Loan Documents.

                 (ii) The REIT is not (A) in violation of any applicable law,

        which, if adversely decided, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
        REIT or Borrower.

             (g) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2001, (i) there
has occurred no event which has a Material Adverse Effect on the REIT, and (ii)

governmental charges shown on such returns have been paid when due and payable,
except such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP and
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or such taxes, the
failure to make payment of which when due and payable would not have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the REIT. The REIT has no knowledge of
any proposed tax assessment against the REIT that would have a Material Adverse
Effect on the REIT, which is not being actively contested in good faith by the
REIT.

             (i) Material Adverse Agreements. The REIT is not a party to or

except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults,
if any, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the REIT.

             (k) Disclosure. The representations and warranties of the REIT
contained in the Loan Documents, and all certificates, financial statements and
other documents delivered to Administrative Agent in connection therewith, do
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary, in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The REIT
has not intentionally withheld any material fact from Administrative Agent in

assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or on any of its
properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises, business, income or

payment of any Obligations or any other sums payable by Borrower to
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and save
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any liability,

other insurance reasonably required by Administrative Agent from time to time.

business hours and as often as any Lender may reasonably request; provided that
all such visits and inspections shall be coordinated through Administrative
Agent and provided that Administrative Agent shall give reasonable prior notice
to Borrower of all such visits and inspections. In connection therewith,
Borrower shall pay all expenses required by Section 11.1.

             (f) Default as to Other Debt. Borrower or the REIT or any other
Consolidated Entity shall have defaulted (beyond any applicable grace period)
under any Debt of such party (other than the Obligations) if the aggregate
amount of such other Debt is Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or more and such
default shall not have been cured or waived.

             (g) Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, Etc.

Entity or the REIT's Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) adopts any
resolution or otherwise authorizes any action to approve any of the foregoing.

             (i) Judgments and Attachments. (i) Any money judgment (other than a
money judgment covered by insurance but only if the insurer has admitted
liability with respect to such money judgment), writ or warrant of attachment,
or similar process involving in any case an amount in excess of One Million

material damages shall be entered against any such Person in any action under
the Federal securities laws seeking rescission of the purchase or sale of, or
for damages arising from the purchase or sale of, any Securities, such judgment
or order shall have become final after exhaustion of all available appellate
remedies and, in Administrative Agent's judgment, the payment of such judgment
or order would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Person.

             (j) Dissolution. Any order, judgment or decree shall be entered
against the REIT, Borrower or any other Consolidated Entity decreeing its
involuntary dissolution or split up and such order shall remain undischarged and

             (l) ERISA Liabilities. Any Termination Event occurs which will or
is reasonably likely to subject Borrower or the REIT or any ERISA Affiliate of
any of them to a liability which Administrative Agent reasonably determines will
have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the REIT, or the plan
administrator of any Benefit Plan applies for approval under Section 412(d) of
the Code for a waiver of the minimum funding standards of Section 412(a) of the
Code and Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the business hardship
upon which the Section 412(d) waiver was based will or would reasonably be
anticipated to subject Borrower or the REIT to a liability which Administrative
Agent reasonably determines will have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or
the REIT.

             (m) Environmental Liabilities. Borrower or the REIT becomes subject
to any Liabilities and Costs which Administrative Agent reasonably deems to have
a Material Adverse Effect on such Person arising out of or related to (i) the

environment, or any Remedial Action in response thereto, or (ii) any violation
of any Environmental Laws.

             (n) Solvency. Borrower or the REIT shall cease to be Solvent.

waived in writing in accordance with Section 11.4.

        9.2. Rights and Remedies.

             (a) Acceleration; Etc. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in the foregoing Section 9.1(g) or 9.1(h) with respect to the REIT or
Borrower or any other Consolidated Entity, the Commitment shall automatically
and immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount of and any and all
accrued interest on the Advances and all of the other Obligations shall
automatically become immediately due and payable, with all additional interest,
fees, costs and expenses from time to time accrued thereon and/or payable
hereunder, and without presentment, demand or protest or other requirements of
any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence,
presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate or notice of
acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and the
obligations of the Lenders to make any Advances hereunder shall thereupon
terminate; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event
of Default,


                                    Page 79
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of
Requisite Lenders, by written notice to Borrower, (i) declare that the
Commitment is terminated, whereupon the Commitment and the obligation of the
Lenders to make any Advance hereunder shall immediately terminate, and/or (ii)
declare the unpaid principal amount of, any and all accrued and unpaid interest
on the Advances and all of the other Obligations to be, and the same shall
thereupon be, immediately due and payable with all additional interest from time
to time accrued thereon and without presentment, demand, or protest or other
requirements of any kind (including without limitation, valuation and
appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate
and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Without limiting Administrative Agent's authority hereunder, on or after the
Maturity Date, Administrative Agent shall, at the request, or may, with the
consent, of Requisite Lenders exercise any or all rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents or applicable law or in equity.

             (b) Access to Information. If an Event of Default then exists,
Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to and not by way of a limitation
on any other rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or in the other
Loan Documents, the right within forty-eight (48) hours after notice to Borrower
to obtain access to Borrower's and the REIT's records (including computerized
information, files and supporting software) relating to the Unencumbered Assets,
and its accounting information relating to the Unencumbered Assets, and to use
all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner
Administrative Agent deems appropriate which is related to the collection of the
Obligations. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes any accountant or management
agent employed by Borrower to deliver such items and information to
Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request and receive, by or
through Borrower or appropriate legal process, any and all information
concerning operations, business affairs and financial condition of the REIT,
Borrower, or any Property of either of them, which is reasonably available to or
obtainable by Borrower. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender copies
of any information which it obtains pursuant to this Section 9.2(b).

             (c) Waiver of Demand. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of
nonpayment are hereby waived by Borrower. Borrower also waives, to the extent
permitted by law, the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.

             (d) Waivers, Amendments and Remedies. No delay or omission of
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right under any Loan
Document shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any
such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms,
conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless
in a writing signed by Administrative Agent after obtaining written approval
thereof or the signature thereon of those Lenders required to approve such
waiver, amendment or other variation, and then only to the extent in such
writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or
by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to Administrative
Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full, the
Commitment has expired or terminated and this Agreement has been terminated.

             9.3. Rescission. If, at any time after acceleration of the maturity
of the Advances, Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on
account of principal of the Advances which shall have become due otherwise than
by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law,
on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of
Default and Unmatured Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of
and accrued interest on the Advances due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.4, then by
written notice to Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in their sole
discretion, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences; but such
action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the
preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which
may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to
benefit Borrower and do not give Borrower the right to require the Lenders to
rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth
herein are met. Borrower shall have no right to enforce this Section 9.3, or to
make any claim hereunder, directly, or as a third party beneficiary, or
otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                AGENCY PROVISIONS

        10.1. Appointment.

              (a) Each Lender hereby (i) designates and appoints Wells Fargo as
Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the
Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders, and
(iii) authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise
such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the limitations referred to in
Sections 10.10(a) and 10.10(b) and the other provisions of this Agreement
requiring consent or approval of all the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders.
Administrative Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained
in this Article 10.

              (b) The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit
of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any right
to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof (provided that Borrower may
rely on the provisions of Section 10.4(b) and Section 10.9); provided, however,
the foregoing shall in no way limit Borrower's obligations under this Article
10. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative
Agent shall act solely as Administrative Agent of the Lenders and does not
assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or
relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any other Person.

        10.2. Nature of Duties. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents. The duties of Administrative Agent shall be administrative
in nature. Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.5 and 10.7, Administrative
Agent shall administer the Advances in the same manner as it administers its own
loans. Promptly following the effectiveness of this

                                    Page 81
<PAGE>
Agreement, Administrative Agent shall send to each Lender its originally
executed Note and the executed original, to the extent the same are available in
sufficient numbers, of each other Loan Document other than the Notes in favor of
the other Lenders and filed or recorded security documents or instruments, with
the latter to be held and retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of
all the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be
construed to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligation in respect of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth
herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs of the REIT and Borrower in connection with
the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and shall make its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of the REIT and Borrower, and, except as
specifically provided herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into
its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.

        10.3. Disbursements of Advances.

              (a) Promptly, but in any event not later than 5:00 P.M. (San
Francisco time) on the same Business Day on which Administrative Agent receives
a Notice of Borrowing, Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof by
facsimile to each other Lender and shall otherwise notify each Lender of the
proposed Advance and the Funding Date. Each Lender shall make available to
Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative
Agent), the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance in
immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section
10.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not
later than the close of business (San Francisco time) on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Funding Date in respect of any Advance that such
Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not
notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata
Share of such Advance as described above, but does not for any reason make
available to Administrative Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance,
such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate. In any case where a
Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of such Advance. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance and if such Lender subsequently pays to
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Advance. Nothing in this Section
10.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance.

              (b) Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by the Lenders of
Advances will be made by telecopy. Each Lender shall make the amount of its
Advance available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately
available funds, to such bank


                                    Page 82
<PAGE>

and account, in El Segundo, California as Administrative Agent may designate,
not later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the Funding Date designated in
the Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Advance, but in no event earlier
than two (2) Business Days following such Lender's receipt of the applicable
Notice of Borrowing.

             (c) Swing Line Advances.

                 (i) With respect to Swing Line Advances, if,

                     (A) as of 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the fourth
        (4th) Business Day after the Swing Line Lender has funded any Swing Line
        Advance (the date such Swing Line Advance was funded, the "Swing Line
        Funding Date"), Borrower has neither (1) repaid such Swing Line Advance
        in full, nor (2) notified the Swing Line Lender in writing that Borrower
        intends to repay such Swing Line Advance in full on the next Business
        Day, nor (3) timely delivered a Notice of Borrowing requesting a
        proposed Funding Date, no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after
        such Swing Line Funding Date, with respect to an Advance in a principal
        amount sufficient to repay such Swing Line Advance in full; or

                     (B) as of 11:00 A.M. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after
        such Swing Line Funding Date, (1) Borrower has not repaid such Swing
        Line Advance in full, or (2) the conditions precedent to any requested
        Advance the proceeds of which were to have been used (in whole or in
        part) to repay such Swing Line Advance have not been satisfied; or

                     (C) at any time prior to the repayment of any Swing Line
        Advance, an Event of Default shall have occurred or the Advances shall
        be accelerated, or the Maturity Date shall occur, for any reason
        whatsoever; then

                 the Swing Line Lender shall promptly (or, if an Event of
        Default has occurred but the Advances have not been accelerated and the
        Maturity Date has not occurred, may) notify each Lender by telephone
        (confirmed promptly by telex, facsimile transmission or cable), telex,
        facsimile transmission, or cable of the amount of such Swing Line
        Advance; and each Lender shall (1) in a case described in clause (A)
        above, before 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the next Business Day,
        or (2) in a case described in clause (B) or clause (C) above, before
        12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the date of such notice, pay to the
        Swing Line Lender, to such bank and account in El Segundo, California
        (or to such bank and account in such other place) as the Swing Line
        Lender may designate, in immediately available funds, such Lender's Pro
        Rata Share of the principal amount of such Swing Line Advance.

                 (ii) Upon funding in accordance with clause (i) above, each
        Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from the Swing Line Lender (and
        the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to each such
        Lender) a percentage interest in such Swing Line Advance equal to such
        Lender's Pro Rata Share, and, for purposes of determining the
        availability of Swing Line Advances or Advances, such Swing Line Advance
        shall be deemed an Advance (and no longer a Swing Line Advance);
        provided


                                    Page 83
<PAGE>

        that the obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.3(c) shall
        not be subject to the notice or amount requirements, or to satisfaction
        of conditions precedent, otherwise applicable to the making of
        Advances.

                 (iii) Each Lender's obligation to fund, and to purchase from
        the Swing Line Lender, its Pro Rata Share of a Swing Line Advance
        pursuant to this Section 10.3(c) shall be absolute and unconditional
        under any and all circumstances (including, without limitation,
        irrespective of any intervening bankruptcy of Borrower or acceleration
        of the Advances).

                 (iv) It is not the parties' intent that the obligations of the
        Lenders under this Section 10.3(c) constitute guaranties or obligations
        of suretyship. If and to the extent, however, that the obligations of
        any Lender under this Section 10.3(c) are determined to be those of a
        guarantor or surety, such Lender, with full knowledge of the
        consequences thereof, hereby expressly waives the benefit of each and
        every right or defense of a guarantor or surety the effect of which
        would relieve such Lender of all or any portion of its obligations under
        this Section 10.3(c).

                 (v) In the event that any Lender fails to pay to the Swing Line
        Lender when due any amount it is required to fund under this Section
        10.3(c), such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Swing
        Line Lender , on demand, the amount such Lender has failed to so pay,
        together with interest thereon for each day from the date on which such
        payment was due until the date such amount is repaid to the
        Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of Borrower, the Base Rate, or
        (B) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. Any such
        repayment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any rights it may
        have against the Lender that has failed to pay when due any such amount.

             (d) Nothing in this Section 10.3 shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender of its obligation (subject only to Section 2.1(b)(iii) in respect of the
initial funding of Swing Line Advances) hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of
any Advance on the applicable Funding Date, nor shall any Lender be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any
Advance hereunder, and the Pro Rata Share of any Lender shall not be increased
or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its
obligation to make an Advance.

        10.4. Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.

              (a) Subject to Section 10.4(b), payments actually received by
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them
promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within
one (1) Business Day, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to the
Lenders interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate, from the Business Day
following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are
paid in immediately available funds to the Lenders. Subject to Section 10.4(b)
all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Advances, all
payments of the fees described in this Agreement, and all payments in respect of
any other Obligations shall be allocated among such Lenders as are entitled
thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or


                                    Page 84
<PAGE>

otherwise as provided herein. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute,
but in any event within one (1) Business Day after it receives the same, to each
Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof
or on the Assignment and Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may
request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive; provided that
Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or
determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any
Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including,
without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or all the Lenders, as
applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any
doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.
The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and
priorities of the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time
to time be changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance
with Section 11.4, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by
Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (including, without
limitation, principal and interest payments) shall not constitute property or
assets of the Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent,
solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent for itself and the other Lenders,
subject to the Loan Documents.

             (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until
such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of any Advance
which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all the other Lenders have
received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal
and interest due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of
payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of
all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in
which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal,
interest and fees being referred to as "Senior Loans"). All amounts paid by
Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to the
Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by
Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective
Pro Rata Shares (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment), until all Senior Loans have been
paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative
Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall
limit the obligation of Borrower to repay all Advances in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, nor create an Event of Default if payments are not made
to a Defaulting Lender. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be
effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then
continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of
payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on
matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Requisite Lenders or
all the Lenders. No Facility Fee shall accrue in favor of, or be payable to,
such Defaulting Lender from the date of any failure to fund Advances or
reimburse Administrative Agent for any Liabilities and Costs as herein provided
until such failure has been cured, and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
(A) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and
any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under
this Agreement, and (B) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender
in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any
related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and
hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and
against


                                    Page 85
<PAGE>
any and all Liabilities and Costs, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate,
which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the
Defaulting Lender's failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this
Agreement.

        10.5. Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Administrative Agent, any
Affiliate of Administrative Agent, nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants, shall be liable to any
Lender for any action taken or omitted by them under this Agreement or under any
of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that
Administrative Agent shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or
sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; or for the financial condition of
the REIT, Borrower or any of their Affiliates. Administrative Agent shall not be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or the financial condition of the REIT, Borrower or any of their
Affiliates, or the existence or possible existence of any Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default.

        10.6. Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents, telecopies
or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to
all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and
its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including
counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected
by it.

        10.7. Indemnification. To the extent that Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed and indemnified by Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse, within ten
(10) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent, and indemnify and
defend Administrative Agent from and against any and all Liabilities and Costs
which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating
to or arising out of its role as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, or
any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to
each Lender's Pro Rata Share; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such Liabilities and Costs resulting from Administrative Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under
this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement. In the event that after payment and distribution
of any amount by Administrative Agent to the Lenders, any Lender or third party,
including Borrower, any creditor of Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy,
recovers from Administrative Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid
to Administrative Agent or disbursed by Administrative Agent to the Lenders,
then the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares, shall
reimburse Administrative Agent for all such amounts. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to advance Liabilities
and Costs and may require the deposit by each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of
any material Liabilities and Costs reasonably anticipated by Administrative
Agent before they are incurred, made or payable.

        10.8. Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment and the Advances made by it, Administrative Agent shall
have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the
same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any
other Lender. Administrative Agent and any Lender and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of

                                    Page 87
<PAGE>
banking, trust or other business with the REIT, Borrower or any of their
respective Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent or a
Lender pursuant hereto.

        10.9. Successor Administrative Agent; Resignation of Administrative
Agent; Removal of Administrative Agent.

              (a) Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all
its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower, and shall
automatically cease to be Administrative Agent hereunder in the event a petition
in bankruptcy shall be filed by or against Administrative Agent or the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other Governmental Authority shall assume
control of Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent's interests under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Further, the Requisite Lenders (other
than Administrative Agent) may remove Administrative Agent at any time based
upon Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct by giving at
least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to Administrative Agent,
Borrower and all other Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect
upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant
to subsection (b) or (c) below.

              (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by or removal of
Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which appointment shall be subject to Borrower's consent
(other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default), which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any successor
Administrative Agent must be a Lender (i) the senior debt obligations of which
(or such Lender's parent's senior unsecured debt obligations) are rated not less
than Baa-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or a comparable rating by a rating
agency acceptable to the Requisite Lenders and (ii) which has total assets in
excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Such successor Administrative
Agent shall separately confirm in writing with Borrower the fee to be paid to
such Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(c).

              (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so
appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent, with the consent of Borrower (other than upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default)(which may not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall then appoint a successor Administrative
Agent who shall meet the requirements described in subsection (b) above and who
shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Requisite
Lenders, with the consent of Borrower (other than upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default), appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided above.

              (d) Each successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this
Section 10.9 shall concurrently assume the rights and obligations of the Swing
Line Lender under this Agreement (including the Swing Line Lender's commitment
to fund Swing Line Advances and its interest in outstanding advances under the
Swing Line). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line


                                    Page 88
<PAGE>

Lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Administrative Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 11.20 to the contrary, the commitment
of the Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Advances and the Swing Line Lender's
interest in outstanding Swing Line Advances may not be assigned to any Person
other than a Person who concurrently becomes both a successor Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 10.9 and the Swing Line Lender.

        10.10. Consent and Approvals.

               (a) In addition to any other term or provision of this Agreement
which requires the consent or approval of, or other action by, the Requisite
Lenders, each consent, approval, amendment, modification or waiver specifically
enumerated in this Section 10.10(a) shall require the consent of the Requisite
Lenders:

                 (i) Approval of any material amendment of organizational
        documents (Section 7.2);

                 (ii) Approval of certain changes in the senior management
        (Section 7.4);

                 (iii) Acceleration following an Event of Default (Section
        9.2(a)) or rescission of such acceleration (Section 9.3);

                 (iv) Approval of the exercise of rights and remedies under the
        Loan Documents following an Event of Default (Section 9.2(a));

                 (v) Approval of a change in the method of calculation of any
        financial covenants, standards or terms as a result of a change in GAAP
        (Section 11.3); and

                 (vi) Except as referred to in subsection (b) below, approval of
        any amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement, or waiver
        of any provision herein.

               (b) Each consent, approval, amendment, modification or waiver
specifically enumerated in Section 11.4 shall require the consent of all the
Lenders.

               (c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to
in subsection (a) above, Administrative Agent may at any time request
instructions from Requisite Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals
which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents,
Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without
instructions from Lenders and if such instructions are promptly requested,
Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any
action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability
whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any action or withholding
any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such
instructions from the Requisite Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as
a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this
Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where applicable, all the Lenders.

                                    Page 89
<PAGE>
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the
Requisite Lenders have instructed Administrative Agent to act or refrain from
acting pursuant hereto.

             (d) Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative
Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and the
exercise by Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all the Lenders, except for actions specifically requiring the
approval of all the Lenders. All communications from Administrative Agent to the
Lenders requesting Lenders' determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i)
shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be
accompanied by a description of the matter or thing as to which such
determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise
each Lender where such matter or thing may be inspected, or shall otherwise
describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably
requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender,
written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to
Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative Agent's recommended course of
action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly,
but in any event within ten (10) Business Days or such other applicable response
period as expressly set forth in this Agreement (the "Lender Reply Period").
Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it
objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together
with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the
Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or
consented to such recommendation or determination and Borrower and each other
Lender may rely on such approval as if given. With respect to decisions
requiring the approval of the Requisite Lenders or all the Lenders,
Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for
approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all the
Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the
course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders by Administrative
Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Requisite Lenders, and
each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such
recommended course of action.

        10.11. Certain Agency Provisions Relating to Enforcement. Should
Administrative Agent (i) employ counsel for advice or other representation
(whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any of the
Loan Documents, or (ii) commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce
its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, each Lender, upon demand
therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata
Share) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such advice or other
representation or enforcement, including, but not limited to, court costs, title
company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers' fees and fees and
expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrower,
provided that Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to reimbursement of its
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of
disputes between Administrative Agent and other Lenders unless Administrative
Agent shall be the prevailing party in any such dispute. Any loss of principal
and/or interest resulting from any Event of Default shall be shared by the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. It is understood
and agreed that in the event Administrative Agent determines it is necessary to

                                    Page 90
<PAGE>
engage counsel for the Lenders from and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, said counsel shall be selected by Administrative Agent.

        10.12. Ratable Sharing. Subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4 the Lenders
agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them
which are applied to the payment of the Obligations, equitable adjustment will
be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably
in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary payment,
by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the
Obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise
of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of
the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro
Rata Share of the payments on account of the Obligations, the one receiving such
excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously
upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that
all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in
accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such
excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it,
those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust
for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing
party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
pursuant to this Section 10.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such
participation. No Lender shall exercise any setoff, banker's lien or other
similar right in respect to any Obligations without the prior written approval
by Administrative Agent.

        10.13. Delivery of Documents. Administrative Agent shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable, distribute to each Lender at its primary address set
forth on the appropriate counterpart signature page hereof, or at such other
address as a Lender may request in writing, (i) copies of all documents to which
such Lender is a party or of which such Lender is a beneficiary, (ii) all
documents of which Administrative Agent receives copies from Borrower pursuant
to Sections 5.1 and 11.6, (iii) all other documents or information which
Administrative Agent is required to send to the Lenders pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, (iv) all other information or documents received by
Administrative Agent at the request of any Lender, and (v) all notices received
by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.2. In addition, within fifteen
(15) Business Days after receipt of a request in writing from a Lender for
written information or documents provided by or prepared by Borrower, the REIT
or any Consolidated Entity, Administrative Agent shall deliver such written
information or documents to such requesting Lender if Administrative Agent has
possession of such written information or documents in its capacity as
Administrative Agent or as a Lender.

        10.14. Notice of Events of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or interest
on the Advances) unless Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from
a Lender or Borrower describing such event or condition and expressly stating
that such notice is a notice of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of
Default. Should Administrative Agent receive such notice of the occurrence of an
Unmatured


                                    Page 91
<PAGE>

Event of Default or Event of Default, or should Administrative Agent send
Borrower a notice of Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Lender. If any
individual employed by any Lender who is responsible for managing, or otherwise
involved in, the relationship between such Lender and Borrower in connection
with this Agreement or such Lender and Administrative Agent in connection with
this Agreement, has or acquires actual knowledge of an Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall promptly give written notice
thereof to Administrative Agent.

        10.15. Documentation Agents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
which may be construed to the contrary, the Documentation Agents shall not
exercise any of the rights or have any of the responsibilities of the
Administrative Agent hereunder, or any other rights or responsibilities other
than their respective rights and responsibilities as Lenders hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        11.1. Expenses.

              (a) Generally. Borrower agrees to pay, or reimburse Administrative
Agent for, within seven (7) days after receipt of written demand, all of
Administrative Agent's external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation and
investigation expenses and for all other reasonable costs and expenses of every
type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and charges
of outside appraisers and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
Administrative Agent's internal appraisers, environmental advisors or legal
counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent at any time (whether prior to, on or
after the date of this Agreement) in connection with (i) its own audit and
investigation of Borrower and the REIT; (ii) the negotiation, preparation and
execution of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or
attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3), and the
other Loan Documents and the making of the Advances; (iii) review and
investigation of Real Property which is proposed for inclusion within the
Unencumbered Pool and Unencumbered Assets within the Unencumbered Pool; (iv)
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Advances,
including, without limitation, consultation with attorneys in connection
therewith; (v) syndication of, assignments of and participations in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (vi) the protection, collection or
enforcement of any of the Obligations.

              (b) After Event of Default. Borrower further agrees to pay, or
reimburse Administrative Agent and the Lenders, for all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements of one law firm incurred by Administrative Agent or the
Lenders after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
(i) in enforcing any Obligation or exercising or enforcing any other right or
remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this
Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or
in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal
proceeding relating to Borrower or the REIT and related to or arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereby; or (iv) in taking any other action in or with
respect to any suit or proceeding (whether in bankruptcy or otherwise).


                                    Page 92
<PAGE>

        11.2. Indemnity. Borrower further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each and all of the Lenders, each of
their respective Affiliates and each of the respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and consultants (including, without limitation,
those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of
any of the conditions set forth in Article 3) of each of the foregoing
(collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all Liabilities
and Costs imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees (whether
based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations, including,
without limitation, securities and commercial laws and regulations, under common
law or in equity, and based upon contract or otherwise, including any liability
and costs arising as a result of a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA to the
extent arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations
of the REIT or Borrower or their respective predecessors in interest) in any
manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making of and
participation in the Advances and the management of the Advances, or the use or
intended use of the proceeds of the Advances (collectively, the "Indemnified
Matters"); provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to an
Indemnitee hereunder with respect to (a) matters for which such Indemnitee has
been compensated pursuant to or for which an exemption is provided in Section
2.4(g) or any other provision of this Agreement, and (b) Indemnified Matters to
the extent caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum
portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the
payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

        11.3. Change in Accounting Principles and "Funds from Operations"
Definition. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any changes in accounting
principles from those used in the preparation of the most recent financial
statements delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof are
hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and
opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar
functions) and are adopted by the REIT or Borrower with the agreement of its
Accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of
any of the financial covenants, standards or terms found herein, the parties
hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as
to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for
evaluating the financial condition of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities
shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made;
provided, however, that no change in GAAP that would affect the method of
calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms shall be given
effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner
satisfactory to the Requisite Lenders, to so reflect such change in accounting
principles. The definition of "Funds from Operations" set forth in Article 1 is
based upon the definition of "Funds From Operations" promulgated by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and effective as of April 5, 2002
(the "NAREIT Definition"). If the NAREIT Definition is modified after the date
of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations if any
party so requests in order to amend the definition of "Funds from Operations"
set forth in this Agreement to make it consistent with the modified NAREIT
Definition; provided, however, that no change in such definition of "Funds from
Operations" shall be given

                                    Page 93
<PAGE>
effect until such definition is amended, in a manner satisfactory to Requisite
Lenders, to so reflect such modification in the NAREIT Definition of "Funds From
Operations"; and provided further, however, that if the effect of such change in
the definition of "Funds from Operations" is to restrict the amount of
distributions permitted under this Agreement to amounts less than what are
required to maintain the REIT's status as a real estate investment trust under
the Code, then Borrower shall be permitted to make the minimum distribution
necessary to maintain the REIT's status as a real estate investment trust under
the Code so long as such distribution would have been permitted under the "Funds
from Operations" definition in effect as of the Closing Date.

        11.4. Amendments and Waivers. (a) No amendment or modification of any
provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of
Requisite Lenders (after notice to all the Lenders) and Borrower (except for
amendments to Section 10.4(a) which do not require the consent of Borrower), and
(b) no termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to
any departure by Borrower therefrom (except as expressly provided in Section
2.4(g) with respect to waivers of late fees), shall in any event be effective
without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders (after notice to all
the Lenders), which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or
withhold at their sole discretion, except that

        (A) the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall require the
consent of Requisite Lenders (which Requisite Lenders must include Wells Fargo):

                 (i) changing any provision contained in Section 8.2, Section
        8.5 or in Section 8.9; or

                 (ii) changing the definitions of "Total Liabilities," "Gross
        Asset Value," "Unencumbered Asset Value," "Unencumbered Pool," or
        "Debt", or the definition of any defined term used in any of the
        foregoing definitions; or

                 (iii) subject to clause (B)(ix) below, amending or otherwise
        modifying the Guaranty; and

                 (B) the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall
        require the consent of all the Lenders:

                 (i) increasing or reducing the Commitment and/or any Lender's
        Pro Rata Share of the Commitment, except as otherwise provided in, and
        subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.8, Section 2.9 or
        Section 11.20;

                 (ii) changing the principal amount or final maturity of the
        Advances or otherwise changing the Maturity Date, except as otherwise
        provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.1(d)
        or Section 2.8;

                 (iii) reducing the interest rates applicable to the Advances;

                 (iv) reducing the rates on which fees payable pursuant hereto
        are determined;


                                    Page 94
<PAGE>

                 (v) forgiving or delaying any amount payable or receivable
        under Article 2 (other than late fees in accordance with Section
        2.4(e));

                 (vi) changing the definition of "Requisite Lenders" or "Pro
        Rata Shares";

                 (vii) changing any provision contained in this Section 11.4;

                 (viii) releasing any obligor under any Loan Document, unless
        such release is otherwise required or permitted by the terms of this
        Agreement;

                 (ix) materially amending or otherwise materially modifying the
        Guaranty; or

                 (x) consenting to assignment by Borrower of all of its duties
        and Obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 11.14.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Article 10
or any other provision referring to Administrative Agent shall be effective
without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent, but only if such
amendment, modification, termination or waiver alters the obligations or rights
of Administrative Agent. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice
to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.4
shall be binding on each assignee, transferee or recipient of Administrative
Agent's or any Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment under this Agreement or
the Advances at the time outstanding. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any
amendment or waiver executed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders provided that Administrative Agent certifies to Borrower that
Administrative Agent obtained the approvals or consents required under this
Agreement of the Requisite Lender or all the Lenders, as the case may be.

        11.5. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception
to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid
the occurrence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default if such
action is taken or condition exists, and if a particular action or condition is
expressly permitted under any covenant, unless expressly limited to such
covenant, the fact that it would not be permitted under the general provisions
of another covenant shall not constitute an Event of Default or Unmatured Event
of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

        11.6. Notices and Delivery. Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, any consent, notice or other communication herein required or permitted
to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied or sent
by courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given
when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy (or
on the next Business Day if such telecopy is received on a non-Business Day or
after 5:00 P.M. on a Business Day) or four (4) Business Days after deposit in
the United States mail (registered or certified, with postage prepaid and
properly addressed). Notices to

Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until received
by Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties
hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this
Section 11.6) shall be as set forth below each party's name on the signature
pages hereof, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated
by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties. All deliveries to
be made to Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders shall be made to
Administrative Agent at the address specified for notice on the signature page
hereto and in addition, a sufficient number of copies of each such delivery
shall be delivered to Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender at the
address specified for deliveries on the signature page hereto or such other
address as may be designated by Administrative Agent in a written notice.

        11.7. Survival of Warranties, Indemnities and Agreements. All
agreements, representations, warranties and indemnities made or given herein
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Advances hereunder and such
indemnities shall survive termination hereof.

        11.8. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver: Remedies Cumulative. No failure
or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of
any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such
power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan
Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

        11.9. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or
payments to Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or Administrative Agent or the
Lenders exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or
payments or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
setoff had not occurred.

        11.10. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, provided,
however, that if the rates of interest or any other amount payable hereunder, or
the collectability thereof, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the Lenders' obligations to make Advances shall not be
enforceable.

        11.11. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein
for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

        11.12. Governing Law; Waiver. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.

        11.13. Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable
law and other than with respect to gross negligence or willful misconduct, no
claim may be made by Borrower, any Lender or any other Person against
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents of any of them, for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract
or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection therewith; and Borrower and each Lender hereby waive, release and
agree not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and
whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

        11.14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
the successors and permitted assigns of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any
permitted assignee or transferee of the Advances and the Pro Rata Shares of the
Commitment of the Lenders under this Agreement, and in the event of such
transfer or assignment, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall automatically extend to and be vested
in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
Borrower's and the REIT's rights and interests hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, and Borrower's and the REIT's duties and Obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, shall not be assigned or otherwise
transferred without the consent of all the Lenders.

        11.15. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury
Trial. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE, AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
BROUGHT BY BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
SHALL BE, BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION HAVING
SITUS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE FEDERAL COURT DISTRICT OF THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT,
BORROWER ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY
AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY FINAL JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY FROM WHICH NO APPEAL
HAS BEEN TAKEN OR IS AVAILABLE. BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF
PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY
THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID,
TO ITS NOTICE ADDRESS SPECIFIED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF. BORROWER,
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE (A) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT,
AND (B) ANY


                                    Page 97
<PAGE>

OBJECTION (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION OF THE LAYING OF VENUE OR
BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE. NOTHING HEREIN
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR
SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

        11.16. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies. This Agreement and
any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when (i) Borrower, the
initial Lenders and Administrative Agent have duly executed and delivered
signature pages of this Agreement to each other (delivery by Borrower to the
Lenders and by any Lender to Borrower and any other Lender being deemed to have
been made by delivery to Administrative Agent) and (ii) Administrative Agent has
received all fees due under its separate agreement with Borrower. Administrative
Agent shall send written confirmation of the Closing Date to Borrower and each
other Lender promptly following the occurrence thereof. This Agreement and each
of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be
consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and conditions
of this Agreement are actually and directly inconsistent with the terms and
conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern.

        11.17. Performance of Obligations. Borrower agrees that Administrative
Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, make any payment or perform any act
required of Borrower under any Loan Document which Borrower has failed to make
or do.

        11.18. Construction. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each
party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.

        11.19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the
other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by
Borrower to Administrative Agent, embodies the entire agreement and supersede
all prior agreements, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

        11.20. Assignments and Participations.

               (a) After first obtaining the approval of Administrative Agent
and Borrower (provided that the approval of Borrower shall not be required upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, each Lender may assign
to one or more banks or financial institutions, all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and the Advances owing to it)
and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment
shall be of a constant, and not a

                                    Page 98
<PAGE>

varying, percentage of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such percentage of the assigning
Lender's rights and obligations shall be the same percentage with respect to
both such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and Advances, (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event
be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), (iii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its approval
and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption, (iv) Administrative Agent shall
receive from the assignor a processing fee of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000)
and (v) if such assignment is less than all of the Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment of the assigning Lender, after giving effect to such assignment, the
aggregate amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
shall in no event be less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000). Without
restricting the right of Borrower or Administrative Agent to reasonably object
to any bank or financial institution becoming an assignee of an interest of a
Lender hereunder, each proposed assignee must be an existing Lender or a bank or
financial institution which (A) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a
subsidiary, such bank's parent has) a rating of its senior unsecured debt
obligations of not less than Baa-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or a
comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to Administrative Agent and (B)
has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Unless
Administrative Agent or Borrower gives written notice to the assigning Lender
that it objects to the proposed assignment (together with a written explanation
of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days following
receipt of the assigning Lender's written request for approval of the proposed
assignment, Administrative Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to have approved such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, approval
and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable
Assignment and Assumption, (X) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender hereunder, and (Y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement.

               (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the
assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the REIT or Borrower
or the performance or observance by the REIT or Borrower of any of their
respective obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial
statements referred to in Article 4 or delivered pursuant to Article 5 to the
date of such assignment and such other Loan Documents and other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit


                                    Page 99
<PAGE>

analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such
assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent,
such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such
assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as
Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

             (c) Administrative Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to
on the counterpart signature pages hereof, a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Loan Account
the names and addresses of each Lender and the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment
of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, such Lender from time to
time. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Loan Account as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement.

             (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee approved by Administrative Agent and Borrower
as provided in Section 11.20(a), Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment
and Assumption has been properly completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit A, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Loan Account, and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to Borrower. Upon request, Borrower will execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent an appropriate replacement promissory note or replacement
promissory notes in favor of each assignee (and assignor, if such assignor is
retaining a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and Advances)
reflecting such assignee's (and assignor's) Pro Rata Share of the Commitment.
Upon execution and delivery of such replacement promissory note(s) the original
promissory note or notes evidencing all or a portion of the Pro Rata Share of
the Commitment and Advances being assigned shall be canceled and returned to
Borrower.

             (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement without the consent of any other party to this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment and the Advances owing to it) and the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment
to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall
not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose, (iv) Borrower, Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to be made under this
Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of
the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment as it then exists and
shall not restrict an increase in the Commitment, or in the granting Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Commitment, so long as the amount of the participation
interest is not affected

                                    Page 100
<PAGE>
thereby and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall
not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents
and the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights
under their participation agreement except for voting rights with respect to (A)
extensions of the Maturity Date beyond the extension option term; and (B)
decreases in the interest rates or fees described in this Agreement.

             (f) Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the assignment of
interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein.

             (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and
without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of
this Agreement, including Section 11.20, any Lender may at any time and from
time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any
of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations thereunder.

             (h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any
Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining
the approval of Administrative Agent and Borrower, provided that (i) at the time
of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Lender
gives Administrative Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days' prior
written notice of any such assignment, (iii) the parties to each such assignment
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and
(iv) Administrative Agent receives from assignor a processing fee of Three
Thousand Dollars ($3,000).

             (i) No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to Borrower or any
Affiliate of Borrower.

             (j) The dissemination or disclosure by any Lender to any
prospective assignee or participant of any confidential information obtained by
Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or in connection
with the Advances is subject to the terms of Section 5.3.

             (k) Wells Fargo agrees that, so long as Well Fargo is the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, it will not assign all or any portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if, after giving effect to
such assignment or sale, Wells Fargo's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment would be
less than that of the Lender with the next largest Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment, provided, however, that in no event shall Wells Fargo be required to
increase its Pro Rata Share above that which exists on the Closing Date.

                   FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

        THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as
of _________________, 200__, between ___________________ ("Assignor") and
______________________ ("Assignee").

                                    RECITALS:

           A.       Assignor is a Lender under that certain Third Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 9, 2002 (as amended,
supplemented or modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") entered into
among Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership
("Borrower"), the Lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
as Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, and Bank One, N.A. and Wachovia
Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agents. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement
without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

           B.       Assignor desires to assign to Assignee, and Assignee desires
to accept and assume, [a portion of] the rights and obligations of Assignor
under the Credit Agreement.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1. Assignment.

           (a)      Effective on the Assignment Effective Date (as defined in
Section 3 below), Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee the Assigned Share (as
defined below) of all of Assignor's rights, title, interest and obligations
under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, including without
limitation those relating to Assignor's Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and
Advances. The Assigned Share of all such rights, title, interest and obligations
is referred to collectively as the "Assigned Rights and Obligations".

           (b)      The "Assigned Share" means (a) a $_____________ portion of
the Commitment on the Assignment Effective Date, and (b) the aggregate amount of
all Advances outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Assignment Effective
Date that is attributable to the percentage of the Commitment represented by the
Assigned Share. The Pro Rata Share represented by the Assigned Share, and the
Pro Rata Share, if any, retained by Assignor, shall be as specified on the
signature pages of this Agreement.

        2. Assumption. Effective on the Assignment Effective Date, Assignee
hereby accepts the foregoing assignment of, and hereby assumes from Assignor,
the Assigned Rights and Obligations.

        3. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on a date (the
"Assignment Effective Date") selected by Assignor, which shall be on or as soon
as practicable after the execution and delivery of counterparts of this
Agreement by Assignor, Assignee, Administrative Agent and (unless otherwise
provided in Section 11.20 of the Credit Agreement) Borrower.


                                  Page 1 of 8

Assignor shall promptly notify Assignee, Administrative Agent and Borrower in
writing of the Assignment Effective Date.

        4. Payments on Assignment Effective Date. In consideration of the
assignment by Assignor to and the assumption by Assignee of the Assigned Rights
and Obligations, on the Assignment Effective Date (a) Assignee shall pay to
Assignor such amounts as are specified in any written agreement or exchange of
letters between them, and (b) Assignee shall pay to Administrative Agent an
assignment processing fee of $3,000.

        5. Allocation and Payment of Interest and Fees.

           (a)      Administrative Agent shall pay to Assignee all interest,
Facility Fees and other amounts not constituting principal that are paid by or
on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents and are attributable to the
Assigned Rights and Obligations ("Borrower Amounts"), that accrue on and after
the Assignment Effective Date. If Assignor receives or collects any such
Borrower Amounts, Assignor shall promptly pay them to Assignee.

           (b)      Administrative Agent shall pay to Assignor all Borrower
Amounts that accrue before the Assignment Effective Date when and as the same
are paid by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders. If Assignee receives or
collects any such Borrower Amounts, Assignee shall promptly pay such amounts to
Assignor.

           (c)      Unless specifically assumed by Assignee, Assignor shall be
responsible and liable for all reimbursable Liabilities and Costs and
indemnification obligations which accrue under Section 10.7 of the Credit
Agreement prior to the Assignment Effective Date and such liability shall
survive the Assignment Effective Date.

           (d)      Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any allocation
or payment to either Assignor or Assignee subsequently determined to be
erroneous, unless resulting from Administrative Agent's willful misconduct or
gross negligence.

        6. Representations and Warranties.

           (a)      Each of Assignor and Assignee represents and warrants to the
other and to Administrative Agent as follows:

               (i) It has full power and authority, and has taken all action
necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to fulfill its obligations
under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement;

               (ii) The making and performance of this Agreement and all
documents required to be executed and delivered by it hereunder do not and will

               (iv) All approvals, authorizations or other actions by, or
filings with, any governmental authority necessary for the validity or
enforceability of its obligations under this Agreement have been made or
obtained.

           (b)      Assignor represents and warrants to Assignee that Assignor
owns the Assigned Rights and Obligations free and clear of any lien or other

           (c)      Assignee represents and warrants to Assignor as follows:

               (i) Assignee has made and shall continue to make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition, affairs and
creditworthiness of Borrower and any other person or entity obligated under the
Loan Documents (collectively, "Credit Parties"); and

               (ii) Assignee has received copies of the Loan Documents and such
other documents, financial statements and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement.

        7. No Assignor Responsibility. Assignor makes no representation or
warranty regarding, and assumes no responsibility to Assignee for:

           (a)      the execution (by any party other than Assignor),
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or
sufficiency of the Loan Documents or any representations, warranties, recitals
or statements made in the Loan Documents or in any financial or other written or
oral statement, instrument, report, certificate or any other document made or
furnished or made available by Assignor to Assignee or by or on behalf of any
Credit Party to Assignor or Assignee in connection with the Loan Documents and
the transactions contemplated thereby;

                  (b)      the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the
existence or possible existence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of
Default under the Loan Documents; or

                  (c)      the accuracy or completeness of any information

Party.

Assignor shall have no initial or continuing duty or responsibility to make any

Obligations or to provide Assignee with any credit or other information with
respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the date hereof or at
any time or times thereafter.

        8. Assignee Bound By Credit Agreement. Effective on the Assignment
Effective Date, Assignee (a) shall be deemed to be a party to the Credit
Agreement, (b) agrees to be bound by the Credit Agreement to the same extent as
it would have been if it had been an original Lender thereunder, and (c) agrees
to perform in accordance with their respective terms all of the obligations
which are required under the Loan Documents to be performed by it as a Lender.
Assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions as
agent on its


                                  Page 3 of 8

behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to
Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

        9. Assignor Released From Credit Agreement. Effective on the Assignment
Effective Date, Assignor shall be released from the Assigned Rights and
Obligations; provided, however, that Assignor shall retain all of its rights to
indemnification under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents for any
events, acts or omissions occurring before the Assignment Effective Date, and,
to the extent not assumed by Assignee, Assignor shall continue to be responsible
for the liabilities and obligations described in Section 5(c) of this Agreement
and bound by the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement.

        10. New Notes. On or promptly after the Assignment Effective Date,
Borrower, Administrative Agent, Assignor and Assignee shall make appropriate
arrangements so that new Notes executed by Borrower, dated the Assignment
Effective Date and in the amount of the [respective] Commitment[s] of [Assignor
and] Assignee, after giving effect to this Agreement, are issued to [Assignor

 ------------                                                 -----------------


        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ARDEN REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Maryland limited
partnership ("Borrower"), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of ______________
("Lender") the principal sum of ____________________________ DOLLARS
($_________) or if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all "Bid
Advances" disbursed by Lender under that certain Third Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 9, 2002 (as amended, supplemented
or modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") entered into among
Borrower, the Lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, and Bank One, N.A. and Wachovia
Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agents, together with interest on the unpaid
principal balance hereof at the rate (or rates) determined in accordance with
Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement from the date such principal is advanced
until it is paid in full. It is contemplated that there will be advances and
payments under this Bid Advance Note from time to time, but no advances or
payments under this Bid Advance Note (including payment in full of the unpaid
balance of principal hereof prior to maturity) shall affect or impair the
validity or enforceability of this Bid Advance Note as to future advances
hereunder.

        This Bid Advance Note is one of the Notes referred to in and governed by
the Credit Agreement, which Credit Agreement, among other things, contains
provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof and for the payment of
certain additional sums to Lender upon the happening of certain stated events.
Capitalized terms used in this Bid Advance Note without definition have the same
meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

        The principal amount of this Bid Advance Note, if not sooner paid as
required pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will be due and payable, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due and unpaid under the
Credit Agreement, on the Maturity Date. Borrower may make voluntary prepayments
of all or a portion of this Bid Advance Note, upon prior written notice, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement.

        Interest on the Advances is payable in arrears on the first Business Day
of each month during the respective Fixed Rate Periods relating to the Bid
Advances evidenced hereby, commencing with the first Business Day of the first
calendar month to begin after the date of this Bid Advance Note. Interest will
be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which interest accrues and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. The
Credit Agreement provides for the payment by Borrower of various other charges
and fees, in addition to the interest charges described in the Credit Agreement,
as set forth more fully in the Credit Agreement.

        All payments of any amount becoming due under this Bid Advance Note
shall be made in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement, in Dollars.

        Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless such Event
of Default is waived as provided in the Credit Agreement, this Bid Advance Note
may, at the option



                                  Page 1 of 2
<PAGE>

of Requisite Lenders and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be
declared by Administrative Agent, and in such case immediately shall become, due
and payable. Upon and after the occurrence of certain Events of Default, this
Bid Advance Note shall, as provided in the Credit Agreement, without any action
by Lenders and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind,
automatically and immediately become due and payable.

        Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest,
notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity
and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by Borrower. Subject to the terms of
the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 11.4 of the Credit
Agreement, Lender may extend the time of payment of this Bid Advance Note,
postpone the enforcement hereof, grant any indulgences, release any party
primarily or secondarily liable hereon or agree to any subordination of
Borrower's obligations hereunder without affecting or diminishing such Lender's
right of recourse against Borrower, which right is hereby expressly reserved.

        This Bid Advance Note has been delivered and accepted at Los Angeles,
California. This Bid Advance Note shall be interpreted in accordance with, and
the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall be determined and
governed by, the laws of the State of California.

        In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect
of the Advances evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or
computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of
competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.
If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in excess
of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender's election,
either (a) promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such
excess to the principal balance of the outstanding Advances held by that Lender.
This provision shall control over every other provision of all agreements
between Borrower and Lender.

        Whenever possible each provision of this Bid Advance Note shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Bid Advance Note shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Bid Advance Note.

to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, Guarantor unconditionally
guarantees and agrees as follows:

        1. GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby guarantees and promises to pay to Lenders
or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States, in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of THREE HUNDRED TEN MILLION AND NO/100THS
DOLLARS ($310,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be due and owing under the
Notes or any of the other Loan Documents together with interest and any other
sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

        2. REMEDIES. If Guarantor fails to promptly perform its obligations
under this Guaranty, Lenders may from time to time, and without first requiring
performance by Borrower or exhausting any or all security for the Loan, bring
any action at law or in equity or both to compel Guarantor to perform its
obligations hereunder, and to collect in any such action compensation for all
loss, cost, damage, injury and expense sustained or incurred by Lenders as a


<PAGE>

direct or indirect consequence of the failure of Guarantor to perform its
obligations together with interest thereon at the rate of interest applicable to
the principal balance of the Notes.

        3. RIGHTS OF LENDERS. Guarantor authorizes Lenders, without giving
notice to Guarantor or obtaining Guarantor's consent and without affecting the
liability of Guarantor, from time to time to: (a) renew or extend all or any
portion of Borrower's obligations under the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents; (b) declare all sums owing to Lenders under the Notes and the other
Loan Documents due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Loan Documents; (c) make non-material
changes in the dates specified for payments of any sums payable in periodic
installments under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (d) otherwise
modify the terms of any of the Loan Documents, except for (i) increases in the
principal amount of the Notes or changes in the manner by which interest rates,
fees or charges are calculated under the Notes and the other Loan Documents
(Guarantor acknowledges that if the Notes or other Loan Documents so provide,
said interest rates, fees and charges may vary from time to time) or (ii)
advancement of the Maturity Date of the Notes where no default has occurred
under the Loan Documents; (e) take and hold security for the performance of
Borrower's obligations under the Notes or the other Loan Documents and exchange,
enforce, waive and release any such security; (f) apply such security and direct
the order or manner of sale thereof as Lenders in their discretion may
determine; (g) release, substitute or add any one or more endorsers of the Notes
or guarantors of Borrower's obligations under the Notes or the other Loan
Documents; (h) apply payments received by Lenders from Borrower to any
obligations of Borrower to Lenders, in such order as Lenders shall determine in
their sole discretion, whether or not any such obligations are covered by this
Guaranty; and (i) assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to any assignee of
the Notes, subject to Section 11.20 of the Credit Agreement.

        4. GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. Guarantor waives: (a) any defense based upon any
legal disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or other
person, or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Borrower
from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Notes or
any of the other Loan Documents; (b) any defense based upon any lack of
authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to
act on behalf of Borrower or any principal of Borrower or any defect in the
formation of Borrower or any principal of Borrower; (c) any defense based upon
the application by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than
the purposes represented by Borrower to Lenders or intended or understood by
Lenders or Guarantor; (d) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as
a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation,
has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the
principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or otherwise; (e) any defense based upon Lenders' failure to disclose
to Guarantor any information concerning Borrower's financial condition or any
other circumstances bearing on Borrower's ability to pay all sums payable under
the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (f) any defense based upon any
statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be
neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of
a principal; (g) any defense based upon Lenders' election, in any proceeding
instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (h) any
defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under
Section 364 of


<PAGE>

the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce
any remedy which Lenders may have against Borrower and any right to participate
in, or benefit from, any security for the Notes or the other Loan Documents now
or hereafter held by Lenders; and (j) presentment, demand, protest and notice of
any kind, except if and to the extent expressly required under any Loan
Document. Guarantor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Notes
or any of the other Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls
any statute of limitations applicable to the Notes or the other Loan Documents
shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to
Guarantor's liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor expressly waives to the
extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses which might otherwise be
available to Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855,
inclusive, 2899 and 3433 and under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections
580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.

        5. GUARANTOR'S WARRANTIES. Guarantor warrants and acknowledges that: (a)
Lenders would not make the Loan but for this Guaranty; (b) there are no
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty; (c) Guarantor has
established adequate means of obtaining from sources other than Lenders, on a
continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to Borrower's
financial condition and Borrower's activities relating thereto and the status of
Borrower's performance of obligations under the Loan Documents, and Guarantor
agrees to keep adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or
circumstances which might in any way affect Guarantor's risks hereunder and
Lenders have made no representation to Guarantor as to any such matters; (d) the
most recent financial statements of Guarantor previously delivered to Lenders
are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (or other
principles acceptable to Lenders) and fairly present the financial condition of
Guarantor as of the respective dates thereof (subject to year-end adjustments),
and no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of
Guarantor since the respective dates thereof, and (e) Guarantor has not and will
not, without the prior written consent of Lenders, sell, lease, assign,
encumber, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of Guarantor's assets, or any substantial interest therein, other than in the
ordinary course of Guarantor's business or as expressly permitted by the Loan
Documents.

        6. SUBORDINATION. Guarantor subordinates all present and future
indebtedness owing by Borrower to Guarantor to the obligations at any time owing
by Borrower to Lenders under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor
assigns all such indebtedness to Lenders as security for this Guaranty, the
Notes and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such
indebtedness until all obligations of Borrower under the Notes and the other
Loan Documents have been fully discharged. Guarantor further agrees not to
assign all or any part of such indebtedness unless Lenders are given prior
notice and such assignment is expressly made subject to the terms of this
Guaranty. If Lenders so request, (a) all instruments evidencing such
indebtedness shall be duly endorsed and delivered to Lenders, (b) all security
for such indebtedness shall be duly assigned and delivered to Lenders, (c) such
indebtedness shall be enforced, collected and held by Guarantor as trustee for
Lenders and shall be paid over to Lenders on account of the Loan but without
reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other
provisions of this Guaranty, and (d) Guarantor shall execute, file and record
such documents and instruments and take such other action as Lenders


<PAGE>

deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce
Lenders' rights in and to such indebtedness and any security therefor. If
Guarantor fails to take any such action, Administrative Agent, as
attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of
Guarantor. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
cannot be revoked. This Section 6 shall not affect Guarantor's rights to receive
distributions from Borrower to the extent expressly permitted under Section 8.7
of the Credit Agreement.

        7. BANKRUPTCY OF BORROWER. In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in
which the filing of claims is required by law, Guarantor shall file all claims
which Guarantor may have against Borrower relating to any indebtedness of
Borrower to Guarantor and shall assign to Lenders all rights of Guarantor
thereunder. If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Administrative Agent, as
attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, hereby authorized to do so in the name of
Guarantor or, in Lenders' discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to
cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Lenders' nominee. The foregoing
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Lenders or
their nominee shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or
reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action which a
party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in
administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay
such claim shall pay to Lenders the amount payable on such claim and, to the
full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor hereby assigns to Lenders all
of Guarantor's rights to any such payments or distributions; provided, however,
Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent
that Lenders receive cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If
Lenders receive anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as
collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If all or any portion of the
obligations guaranteed hereunder are paid or performed, the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in
the event that all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or
recovered directly or indirectly from Lenders as a preference, fraudulent
transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws,
irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such
avoidance or recovery, or (b) full payment and performance of all of the
indebtedness and obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

        8. LOAN SALES AND PARTICIPATIONS: DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Guarantor
agrees that each of the Lenders may elect, at any time, to sell, assign, or
grant participations in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents and this Guaranty, subject to the provisions of Section 11.20
of the Credit Agreement. Guarantor further agrees that Lenders may disseminate
to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participant(s) all
documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial
information) which has been or is hereafter provided to or known to Lenders with
respect to: (a) any Real Property; (b) any party connected with the Loan
(including, without limitation, the Guarantor, the Borrower, any partner of
Borrower, any constituent partner of Borrower, any other guarantor and any
non-borrower trustor); and/or (c) any lending relationship other than the Loan
which Lenders may have with any party connected with the Loan, provided that
such purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participant(s) agree in writing to be bound by
Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement. In the event of any such sale, assignment
or participation, Lenders and the parties to such transaction shall share in the
rights and obligations of Lenders as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and
to the extent they agree among themselves. In connection with any such sale,
assignment or participation, Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty shall be

<PAGE>

sufficient evidence of the obligations of Guarantor to each purchaser, assignee,
or participant, and upon written request by Lenders, Guarantor shall consent to
any amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents (other than this Guaranty)
which do not materially increase the obligations guaranteed hereunder and which
may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment, or
participation.

        9. ADDITIONAL, INDEPENDENT AND UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS. This is a Guaranty
of payment and not of collection and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder
shall be in addition to and shall not limit or in any way affect the obligations
of Guarantor under any other existing or future guaranties unless said other
guaranties are expressly modified or revoked in writing. This Guaranty is
independent of the obligations of Borrower under the Notes and the other Loan
Documents. Lenders may bring a separate action to enforce the provisions hereof
against Guarantor without taking action against Borrower or any other party or
joining Borrower or any other party as a party to such action. Except as
otherwise provided in this Guaranty, this Guaranty is not secured and shall not
be deemed to be secured by any security instrument unless such security
instrument expressly recites that it secures this Guaranty.

        10. ATTORNEYS' FEES, ENFORCEMENT. Subject to Section 11.1 of the Credit
Agreement, if any attorney is engaged by Lenders to enforce or defend any
provision of this Guaranty, or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a
consequence of any default under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing
of any legal action or proceeding, Guarantor shall pay to Lenders, within seven
(7) days after written demand, all reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred
by Lenders in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date
of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal
balance of the Notes as specified therein.

        11. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. The word "Borrower" as used herein shall
include both the named Borrower and any other person at any time assuming or
otherwise becoming primarily liable for all or any part of the obligations of
the named Borrower under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. The term
"person" as used herein shall include any individual, company, trust or other
legal entity of any kind whatsoever. If this Guaranty is executed by more than
one person, the term "Guarantor" shall include all such persons. When the
context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall
be deemed to have been used in the plural and vice versa. All headings appearing
in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing
this Guaranty.

        12. CREDIT REPORTS. Each legal entity and individual obligated on this
Guaranty hereby authorizes Lenders to order and obtain, from a credit reporting
agency of Lenders' choice, a third party credit report on such legal entity and
individual.

        13. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of California, except to the extent
preempted by Federal laws. Guarantor and all persons and entities in any manner
obligated to Lenders under this Guaranty consent to the jurisdiction of any
Federal or State Court within the State of California having proper venue and
also consent to service of process by any means authorized by California or
Federal law.


<PAGE>

        14. MISCELLANEOUS. The provisions of this Guaranty will bind and benefit
the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, nominees,
successors and assigns of Guarantor and Lenders. The liability of all persons
and entities who are in any manner obligated hereunder shall be joint and
several. If any provision of this Guaranty shall be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion
shall be deemed severed from this Guaranty and the remaining parts shall remain
in full force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never
been part of this Guaranty.

        15. ENFORCEABILITY. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) the
obligations undertaken by Guarantor in this Guaranty are complex in nature, and
(b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may
presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of Lenders'
consideration for entering into this transaction, Lenders have specifically
bargained for the waivers and relinquishments by Guarantor set forth herein with
respect to such defenses, and (d) Guarantor has had the opportunity to seek and
receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial
transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, Guarantor
does hereby represent and confirm to Lenders that Guarantor is fully informed
regarding, and that Guarantor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all
such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may
arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Guarantor,
and (iv) the legal consequences to Guarantor of waiving such defenses. Guarantor
acknowledges that Guarantor makes this Guaranty with the intent that this
Guaranty and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully
enforceable by Lenders, and that Lenders are induced to enter into this
transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof

        16. CREDIT AGREEMENT MATTERS.

            (a) Guarantor hereby confirms and affirms each of the
representations and warranties of the REIT in Section 4.2 of the Credit
Agreement, it being understood that references to the "REIT" in Section 4.2
shall be deemed to be references to Guarantor.

            (b) Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall comply with each of
the covenants in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Credit Agreement, it being
understood that references to the "REIT" in such Articles shall be deemed to be
references to Guarantor.

        17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY HEREBY
EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR
ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR
ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER
NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR
OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL


<PAGE>

WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has executed this Guaranty as of the date
appearing on the first page of this Guaranty.

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE


$[__________]                                                     August 9, 2002


        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ARDEN REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Maryland limited
partnership ("Borrower"), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of ______________
("Lender") the principal sum of ______________ MILLION DOLLARS ($ ______________
) or if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all "Advances" disbursed
by Lender pursuant to Lender's "Pro Rata Share" of the "Commitment," as such
terms are defined in that certain Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of August 9, 2002 (as amended, supplemented or modified from
time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), entered into among Borrower, the Lenders
named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent
and Sole Lead Arranger, and Bank One, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, N.A., as
Documentation Agents, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance
hereof at the rate (or rates) determined in accordance with Section 2.4 of the
Credit Agreement from the date such principal is advanced until it is paid in
full. It is contemplated that there will be advances and payments under this
Promissory Note from time to time, but no advances or payments under this
Promissory Note (including payment in full of the unpaid balance of principal
hereof prior to maturity) shall affect or impair the validity or enforceability
of this Promissory Note as to future advances hereunder.

        This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in and governed by
the Credit Agreement, which Credit Agreement, among other things, contains
provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof and for the payment of
certain additional sums to Lender upon the happening of certain stated events.
Capitalized terms used in this Promissory Note without definition have the same
meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

        The principal amount of this Promissory Note, if not sooner paid as
required pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will be due and payable, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due and unpaid under the
Credit Agreement, on the Maturity Date. Borrower may make voluntary prepayments
of all or a portion of this Promissory Note, upon prior written notice, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement.

        Interest on the Advances is payable in arrears on the first Business Day
of each month during the term of the Credit Agreement, commencing with the first
Business Day of the first calendar month to begin after the date of this
Promissory Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of three
hundred sixty (360) days. The Credit Agreement provides for the payment by
Borrower of various other charges and fees, in addition to the interest charges
described in the Credit Agreement, as set forth more fully in the Credit
Agreement.

        All payments of any amount becoming due under this Promissory Note shall
be made in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement, in Dollars.


<PAGE>

        Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless such Event
of Default is waived as provided in the Credit Agreement, this Promissory Note
may, at the option of Requisite Lenders and without demand, notice or legal
process of any kind, be declared by Administrative Agent, and in such case
immediately shall become, due and payable. Upon and after the occurrence of
certain Events of Default, this Promissory Note shall, as provided in the Credit
Agreement, without any action by Lenders and without demand, notice or legal
process of any kind, automatically and immediately become due and payable.

        Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest,
notice of intention to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity
and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by Borrower. Subject to the terms of
the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 11.4 of the Credit
Agreement, Lender may extend the time of payment of this Promissory Note,
postpone the enforcement hereof, grant any indulgences, release any party
primarily or secondarily liable hereon or agree to any subordination of
Borrower's obligations hereunder without affecting or diminishing such Lender's
right of recourse against Borrower, which right is hereby expressly reserved.

        This Promissory Note has been delivered and accepted at Los Angeles,
California. This Promissory Note shall be interpreted in accordance with, and
the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall be determined and
governed by, the laws of the State of California.

        In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect
of the Advances evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or
computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of
competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.
If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in excess
of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender's election,
either (a) promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such
excess to the principal balance of the outstanding Advances held by that Lender.
This provision shall control over every other provision of all agreements
between Borrower and Lender.

        Whenever possible each provision of this Promissory Note shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Promissory Note shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Promissory Note.

                        FORM OF REIT SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

        This Solvency Certificate ("Certificate") is delivered in connection
with that certain Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as
of August 9, 2002 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement") entered into among Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a
Maryland limited partnership ("Borrower"), the Lenders named therein, Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Sole Lead
Arranger, and Bank One, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agents.
Capitalized terms used in this Certificate without definition have the same
meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

        I, ___________, the ___________ of Arden Realty, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "REIT"), in my capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the REIT,
hereby certify, on behalf of the REIT, that:

        1. I am the duly elected, qualified and acting Chief Financial Officer
of the REIT and am familiar with the business and financial and other matters
hereinafter described.

        2. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a Pro Forma Balance Sheet of the REIT
(the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), showing the estimated financial condition of
the REIT immediately after (a) its execution and delivery of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party, and (b) the completion of all other transactions
contemplated to occur on the Closing Date with respect to Borrower (the
"Closing"). The total net worth of the REIT shown on the Pro Forma Balance Sheet
does not overstate the amount by which the aggregate assets of the REIT, at a
fair valuation, exceed the aggregate liabilities of the REIT, whether direct or
contingent as of the date hereof. As to contingent liabilities, the Pro Forma
Balance Sheet reflects the probable liability of the REIT thereon.

        3. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet (a) presents the liabilities of the REIT
(whether contingent or not) fairly and accurately, (b) has been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (c) reflects on
its face all of the relevant financial data of the REIT currently available with
respect to its liabilities. With respect to the presentation of contingent
liabilities, I have consulted with counsel for the REIT regarding contingent
liabilities (including without limitation, liabilities for taxes, environmental
liabilities, intercompany indebtedness, liability under any sureties and
guaranties and pending or threatened litigation or other proceedings and
contingent liabilities) and have included as a liability our best judgment as to
the probable exposure of the REIT to contingent liabilities that would not be
included in reserves otherwise reflected in the balance sheet.

        4. In preparing the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, I have assumed that a "fair
valuation" of the REIT assets means the aggregate price available upon the sale
of such assets by a willing seller to a willing buyer, where material
information as to the assets and the market for such assets is known to both,
and where the sale is executed with commercially reasonable promptness. The
assumptions that underlie the values contained in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet
are based on appraisals of real property obtained by the Administrative Agent or
on the purchase


<PAGE>

price of assets and, in the REIT's opinion, do not result in the overstatement
of such values. The values contained in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet that are
based on data not dated the date hereof have not materially changed since the
date of such data.

        5. The REIT has prepared cash flow and balance sheet projections (the
"Projections") for the REIT for the term of the Credit Agreement. The
Projections were prepared by me, in conjunction with other financial personnel
of the REIT, on the basis of the assumptions set forth therein (which
assumptions are, in the opinion of the REIT, reasonable in light of the
financial condition and prospects of the REIT), and represent our good faith
opinion as to the most probable course of its business. The practices followed
in preparing the Projections do not materially differ from practices usually
followed in the preparation of accounting projections in the regular course of
an ongoing business.

        6. Based on the foregoing, I have concluded that, immediately after the
Closing Date:

           (a) the REIT will be able to pay its debts as they mature;

           (b) the REIT will have capital sufficient to carry on its business
and transactions and all businesses and transactions in which it presently
intends to engage;

           (c) the REIT will have assets with a present fair saleable value and
a fair valuation greater than the amount of its liabilities, whether direct or
contingent; and

           (d) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the REIT will
not be less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability
of the REIT on its existing indebtedness as such indebtedness becomes absolute
and matured.

        7. The REIT does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay
them as they mature.

        8. The REIT does not contemplate filing a petition in bankruptcy or for
an arrangement or reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, nor are
there any threatened bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the REIT.

        9. This Certificate is made and delivered to the Administrative Agent
for the purpose of inducing the Lenders, now and from time to time hereafter, to
advance monies and other financial assistance to Borrower pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. I have carefully reviewed the contents of this Certificate, and I
have conferred with counsel for the REIT concerning the meaning of its contents.

                      FORM OF BORROWER SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

        This Solvency Certificate ("Certificate") is delivered in connection
with that certain Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as
of August 9, 2002 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement") entered into among Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a

Capitalized terms used in this Certificate without definition have the same

without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

        I, ___________, the ___________ of Arden Realty, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "REIT"), which REIT is the sole general partner of Borrower, in
my capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the REIT, hereby certify, on behalf of
Borrower, that:

        1. I am the duly elected, qualified and acting Chief Financial Officer
of the REIT and am familiar with the business and financial and other matters of
Borrower hereinafter described.

        2. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a Pro Forma Balance Sheet of Borrower
(the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), showing the estimated financial condition of
Borrower immediately after (a) its execution and delivery of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party, and (b) the completion of all other transactions
contemplated to occur on the Closing Date with respect to Borrower (the
"Closing"). The total net worth of Borrower shown on the Pro Forma Balance Sheet
does not overstate the amount by which the aggregate assets of Borrower, at a
fair valuation, exceed the aggregate liabilities of Borrower, whether direct or
contingent, as of the date hereof As to contingent liabilities, the Pro Forma
Balance Sheet of Borrower reflects the probable liability of Borrower thereon.

        3. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet (a) presents the liabilities of Borrower
(whether contingent or not) fairly and accurately, (b) has been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (c) reflects on
its face all of the relevant financial data of Borrower currently available with
respect to its liabilities. With respect to the presentation of contingent
liabilities, I have consulted with counsel for Borrower regarding contingent
liabilities (including without limitation, liabilities for taxes, environmental
liabilities, intercompany indebtedness, liability under any sureties and
guaranties and pending or threatened litigation or other proceedings and
contingent liabilities) and have included as a liability our best judgment as to
the probable exposure of Borrower to contingent liabilities that would not be
included in reserves otherwise reflected in the balance sheet.

        4. In preparing the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, I have assumed that a "fair
valuation" of Borrower's assets means the aggregate price available upon the
sale of such assets by a willing seller to a willing buyer, where material
information as to the assets and the market for such assets is known to both,
and where the sale is executed with commercially reasonable


<PAGE>

promptness. The assumptions that underlie the values contained in the Pro Forma
Balance Sheet are based on appraisals of real property obtained by the
Administrative Agent or on the purchase price of assets and, in Borrower's
opinion, do not result in the overstatement of such values. The values contained
in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet that are based on data not dated the date hereof
have not materially changed since the date of such data.

        5. The Borrower has prepared cash flow and balance sheet projections
(the "Projections") for Borrower for the term of the Credit Agreement. The
Projections were prepared by me, in conjunction with other financial personnel

           (a) Borrower will be able to pay its debts as they mature;

           (b) Borrower will have capital sufficient to carry on its business
and transactions and all businesses and transactions in which it presently
intends to engage;

           (c) Borrower will have assets with a present fair saleable value and
a fair valuation greater than the amount of its liabilities, whether direct or
contingent; and

           (d) the present fair saleable value of the assets of Borrower will
not be less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability
of Borrower on its existing indebtedness as such indebtedness becomes absolute
and matured.

        7. Borrower does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay
them as they mature.

        8. Borrower does not contemplate filing a petition in bankruptcy or for
an arrangement or reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, nor are
there any threatened bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Borrower.

                                 SCHEDULE 4.1(j)
                              LITIGATION DISCLOSURE

        Borrower hereby represents as follows:

        We are presently subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings of
a nature considered normal to our ordinary course of business. We expect most of
these legal proceedings to be covered by our liability insurance. The most
significant of these contingencies not covered by insurance is described below.

        In December 2001, the owner of the entertainment center at our Howard
Hughes Center project asserted a claim against us for indemnification arising
out of a Los Angeles Superior Court judgment against them, which invalidated a
transfer of in-lieu credits that we made in August of 1999 as part of our sale
of the land for the entertainment center. The value of these in-lieu credits was
approximately $6.0 million and were transferred to satisfy certain
Transportation Impact Assessment fees related to the entertainment center. The
owner of the entertainment center is currently appealing the judgment.

        Based on our review of the current facts and circumstances and advice of
our outside counsel, we are not able to express an opinion as to the ultimate
outcome of this matter. However, we do not believe that the resolution of this
matter or any of our ongoing legal proceedings will have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flow or financial
position.
