    agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set
    forth,
    
                   (a)  to make Loans to the Company from time to time
         on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to
         the initial Maturity Date for the purpose of (i) facilitating
         the Company's acquisition of improved real property, (ii)
         financing the Company's operations, including development
         activities (subject to the provisions of Sections 7.15 and
         7.16), and (iii) repurchasing shares of the Company's common or

         time outstanding such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Availability,
         and 
    
                   (b)  to fund drawings on any Letters of Credit that
         BofA issues for the Company's account from time to time, in an
         aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such
         Bank's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such drawing.  On the
         date that BofA issues a Letter of Credit for the Company's
         account, each Bank shall be deemed to have unconditionally and
         irrevocably purchased from BofA a pro rata risk participation in
         the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, without recourse or
         warranty, in an amount equal to such Bank's Pro Rata Share of
         the stated amount of such Letter of Credit.
    
    BofA agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the Company's account on
    any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the date
    that is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as the Maturity
    Date may be extended pursuant to Section 2.8), for any purpose
    directly related to the Company's continuing operations, in an
    aggregate amount not to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) at
    any time outstanding; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit
    shall have an expiry date later than the then-applicable Maturity
    Date.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
    aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans shall not at any
    time exceed the Availability, and the aggregate amount of outstanding
    but undrawn Letters of Credit shall be considered a portion of the
    principal amount outstanding on the Loans for purposes of determining
    (x) the amount of Availability remaining available for disbursement
    and (y) mandatory repayments under Section 2.7.2.  Within the limits
    of the Availability, and subject to the other terms and conditions
    hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.1 prior to the
    initial Maturity Date, repay pursuant to Section 2.7 and reborrow
    pursuant to this Section 2.1 prior to the initial Maturity Date.

                   2.2.1     Upon the Company's request, and subject to
    the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender may,
    in its sole and absolute discretion, on and after the Closing Date and
    prior to the initial Maturity Date, provide to the Company a swing
    line credit facility (the "Swing Line") of up to $25,000,000.00;
    provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not in any event be
    permitted to make any Loan under the Swing Line  (each a "Swing Loan")
    if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the sum of the aggregate
    principal amount of all then-outstanding Loans other than Swing Loans
    plus the aggregate amount of all then-outstanding but undrawn Letters
    of Credit would exceed the Availability at such time, or (ii) the
    aggregate principal amount of all then-outstanding Swing Loans made by
    the Swing Line Lender would exceed the Swing Line Availability at such
    time.  Within the limits of the Swing Line Availability, the Company
    may borrow under this subsection 2.2.1 prior to the initial Maturity
    Date, repay pursuant to subsections 2.2.3 or 2.2.4 and reborrow
    pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 prior to the initial Maturity Date. 
    Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 2.2, the Swing
    Line Lender shall not at any time be obligated to make any Swing Loan.

    Swing Line shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the
    interest rate applicable to a Reference Rate Loan, which interest
    shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the
    due date for Swing Loans set forth in subsection 2.2.3, and shall be
    payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line
    Lender; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this
    Agreement, each Swing Loan shall bear interest for a minimum of one
    (1) day.
    
                   2.2.3     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
    2.7, the principal outstanding under the Swing Line shall be due and
    payable:
    
                   (i)  at or before 10:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on
         the fifth Business Day immediately following any date on which a
         Swing Loan is made under the Swing Line; and
    
                   (ii) in any event on the initial Maturity Date;
    
    provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and remains
    uncured, and the Company is permitted to borrow Loans under the terms
    of this Agreement (the Availability being determined for such purpose
    without giving effect to any reduction thereof occasioned by such
    Swing Loans due and payable) at the time such Swing Loans are due,
    then unless the Company notifies the Swing Line Lender that it will
    repay such Swing Loans on their due date, the Company shall be deemed
    to have submitted a Borrowing Notice for Reference Rate Loans in an
    amount necessary to repay such Swing Loans on their due date, and the
    provisions of Section 2.4 concerning (i) the minimum principal amounts
    required for Borrowings and (ii) the funding of requested Borrowings
    as Swing Loans shall not apply to Loans made pursuant to this
    subsection 2.2.3.
    
                   2.2.4     Notwithstanding the provisions of
    subsection 2.7.1, the Company may, from time to time on any Business
    Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the
    outstanding principal amount of any Swing Loans, without incurring any
    premium or penalty; provided that:
    
                   (i)  each such voluntary prepayment shall require
         prior written notice given to the Administrative Agent and Swing
         Line Lender no later than 10:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the
         day on which the Company intends to make a voluntary prepayment,
         and
    
                   (ii) each such voluntary prepayment shall be in a
         minimum amount of $250,000 (or, if less, the aggregate
         outstanding principal amount of all Swing Loans then
         outstanding).
    
                   2.2.5     Each Bank shall be deemed to have
    unconditionally and irrevocably purchased a pro rata risk
    participation from the Swing Line Lender in the Swing Loans, without
    recourse or warranty, in an amount equal to such Bank's Pro Rata Share
    of such Swing Loans.  In addition, from and after the date that any
    Bank funds such participation, such Bank shall, to the extent of its
    Pro Rata Share, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of any
    payment of principal and/or interest received by the Swing Line Lender
    on account of such Swing Loans, payable to such Bank promptly upon
    such receipt.

    Event of Default, the Swing Line Lender may, without the Company's
    consent, upon one (1) Business Day's notice to the Company, terminate
    the Swing Line and cause Reference Rate Loans to be made by the
    Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of principal and
    interest outstanding under the Swing Line (the Availability being
    determined for such purpose without giving effect to any reduction
    thereof occasioned by such Swing Loans), and the conditions precedent
    set forth in Section 2.4 and Section 4.3, and any requirement of
    Section 2.4 that a borrowing be funded as a Swing Loan shall not apply
    to such Loans.  The proceeds of such Loans shall be paid to the Swing
    Line Lender to retire the outstanding principal and interest owing
    under the Swing Line.
    
                   2.2.7     The Swing Line Lender shall not, without
    the approval of all Banks, make a Swing Loan if the Swing Line Lender
    then has actual knowledge that a Default has occurred and is
    continuing.
    
              2.3  Loan Accounts.  
    
                   2.3.1     The Loans made by each Bank shall be
    evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such
    Bank and the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. 
    The loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent
    and each Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amounts
    of the Loans made by the Banks to the Company and the interest and
    payments thereon.  Any failure so to record or any error in doing so
    shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
    Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.
    
                   2.3.2     The Loans made by each Bank shall be
    evidenced by a Revolving Note payable to the order of such Bank in an
    amount equal to such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Maximum Commitment
    Amount on the Closing Date.  In addition, the Swing Loans made by the
    Swing Line Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Note payable to
    the order of the Swing Line Lender in the amount of $25,000,000.00. 
    Such Bank may endorse on the schedule annexed to its Revolving Note(s)
    the date, amount and maturity of each Loan that it makes (which shall
    not include undrawn amounts on outstanding Letters of Credit, but
    shall include the amounts of any drawings on outstanding Letters of
    Credit), the purpose of the Loan, the amount of each payment of
    principal that the Company makes with respect thereto and the source
    of the funds from which each principal payment is made.  The Company
    irrevocably authorizes each Bank to endorse its Revolving Note(s), and
    such Bank's record shall be conclusive absent manifest error;
    provided, however, that any Bank's failure to make, or its error in
    making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or
    otherwise affect the Company's obligations to such Bank hereunder or
    under its Revolving Note(s).
    
              2.4  Procedure for Obtaining Credit.  Each Borrowing shall
    be made and each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable
    written notice (including notice via facsimile confirmed immediately
    by a telephone call) of the Company in the form of a Borrowing Notice
    (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to
    9:30 a.m., San Francisco time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to
    the requested borrowing date, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, or
    (ii) on the requested borrowing date, in the case of Reference Rate
    Loans or Swing Loans), or (iii) five (5) Business Days prior to the
    requested issuance date of a Letter of Credit, specifying:
    
                   (a)  the amount of the Borrowing or the Letter of
         Credit, which in the case of a Borrowing shall be in an
         aggregate minimum principal amount of (i) Two Hundred Fifty
         Thousand dollars ($250,000) for Reference Rate Borrowings or
         Swing Loans, and (ii) One Million dollars ($1,000,000) for any
         LIBOR Rate Borrowings;
    
                   (b)  the requested borrowing or Letter of Credit
         issuance date, which shall be a Business Day;
    
                   (c)  in the case of a Borrowing, the Type of Loans
         comprising the Borrowing;
    
                   (d)  in the case of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, the
         duration of the Interest Period applicable to the Loans
         comprising such LIBOR Rate Borrowing.  If the Borrowing Notice
         fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for the
         Loans comprising a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, such Interest Period
         shall be thirty (30) days.
    
    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, any
    amount drawn under a Letter of Credit shall, from and after the date
    on which such drawing is made, constitute a Borrowing for all purposes
    under this Agreement (including accrual and payment of interest and
    repayment of principal) other than disbursement of Loan proceeds under
    this Section 2.4.  Unless the Company's Borrowing Notice expressly
    requests a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, a Reference Rate Borrowing in an
    amount in excess of the Swing Line Availability or the issuance of a
    Letter of Credit, each requested Borrowing shall initially be funded
    as a Swing Loan, and shall be subject to the provisions of Section
    2.2.  Unless the Majority Banks otherwise agree, during the existence
    of a Default or Event of Default, the Company may not elect to have a
    Loan made as, or converted into or continued as, a LIBOR Rate Loan. 
    After giving effect to any Loan, there shall not be more than
    eight (8) different Interest Periods in effect.
    
              2.5  Conversion and Continuation Elections.
    
                   2.5.1     The Company may, upon irrevocable written
    notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with
    subsection 2.5.2:
    
                   (a)  elect to convert, on any Business Day, any
         Reference Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less
         than $1,000,000.00) into LIBOR Rate Loans;
    
                   (b)  elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date
         any LIBOR Rate Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or
         any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00) into
         Reference Rate Loans; or
    
                   (c)  elect to renew on any Interest Payment Date any
         LIBOR Rate Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any
         part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00); 
    
    provided, that if the aggregate amount of LIBOR Rate Loans in respect
    of any Borrowing shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment or
    conversion of part thereof, to less than $1,000,000.00, such LIBOR
    Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Reference Rate Loans, and
    on and after such date the right of the Company to continue such Loans
    as, and convert such Loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate.
    
                   2.5.2     The Company shall deliver by telex, cable
    or facsimile, confirmed immediately in writing, a Notice of
    Conversion/Continuation (which notice must be received by the
    Administrative Agent not later than 9:30 a.m. San Francisco time,
    (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Conversion Date or
    continuation date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued
    as LIBOR Rate Loans, or (ii) on the Conversion Date, if the Loans are
    to be converted into Reference Rate Loans) specifying:
    
                   (a)  the proposed Conversion Date or continuation
         date;
    
                   (b)  the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or
         continued;
    
                   (c)  the nature of the proposed conversion or
         continuation; and
    
                   (d)  if the Company elects to convert a Reference
         Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan or elects to continue a LIBOR
         Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable to
         such Loan.  If the Conversion/Continuation Notice fails to
         specify the duration of the Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate
         Loan, such Interest Period shall be thirty (30) days.
    
                   2.5.3     If upon the expiration of any Interest
    Period applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans the Company has failed to select
    a new Interest Period to be applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, or if any
    Default or Event of Default shall then exist, the Company shall be
    deemed to have elected to convert LIBOR Rate Loans into Reference Rate
    Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest
    Period.
    
                   2.5.4     Notwithstanding any other provision
    contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any conversion or
    continuation of any Loans, there shall not be more than eight (8)
    different Interest Periods in effect.
    
              2.6  Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitment.  The
    Company may, upon not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice
    to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Banks' commitment to make
    Loans to the Company or issue Letters of Credit for the Company's
    account, or permanently reduce the Maximum Commitment Amount by a
    minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or any multiple of $1,000,000.00 in
    excess thereof, unless, after giving effect thereto and to any
    prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of
    (i) the aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Loans other
    than Swing Loans and (ii) the then-outstanding but undrawn Letters of
    Credit would exceed the Availability; provided, however, that the
    Maximum Commitment Amount shall not at any time be less than the
    "Maximum Commitment Amount" under and as defined in the Unsecured Loan
    Agreement at such time.  Once reduced in accordance with this
    Section 2.6, the Maximum Commitment Amount may not be increased.  Any
    reduction of the commitment amounts shall be applied to each Bank
    according to its Pro Rata Share.  No commitment or extension fees paid
    prior to the effective date of any reduction of the Maximum Commitment
    Amount or termination of the Bank's commitment to make Loans to the
    Company or issue Letters of Credit for the Company's account shall be
    refunded.
    
              2.7  Principal Payments.
    
                   2.7.1     Optional Repayments.  Subject to
    Section 3.4, the Company may, at any time or from time to time, upon
    at least one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to the
    Administrative Agent, ratably prepay Loans other than Swing Loans in
    part in an amount not less than $250,000.00; provided, however, that
    subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and 2.13, the Company shall
    not repay the Loans other than Swing Loans in full prior to the
    Maturity Date, and there shall be deemed outstanding at all times
    prior to the Maturity Date principal in the amount of at least $10.00
    to the extent necessary to maintain the liens granted in the
    Collateral Documents.  Such notice of prepayment shall specify the
    date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be
    repaid.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of
    its receipt of any such notice, and of such Bank's Pro Rata Share of
    such prepayment.  If the Company gives a prepayment notice to the
    Administrative Agent, such notice is irrevocable and the prepayment
    amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
    specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date, if
    required by the Administrative Agent, on the amount prepaid and all
    amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.4.
    
                   2.7.2     Mandatory Repayments.
    
                   (a)  Availability Limit.  Should the aggregate
    principal amount of the outstanding Loans other than Swing Loans at
    any time exceed the Availability, the Company shall immediately repay
    such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks;
    provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of
    outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit exceeds the Availability,
    the Company shall deliver cash collateral to the Administrative Agent
    in the amount of such excess.
    
                   (b)  Approved Parcel Dispositions.  If the Company or
    any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time or from time to time agree
    to enter into a Disposition, or shall suffer an Event of Loss in which
    the anticipated Net Proceeds exceed $250,000.00, then (i) the Company
    shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such proposed
    Disposition or such Event of Loss (including the amount of the
    estimated Net Proceeds to be received by the Company or its Subsidiary
    in respect thereof) and (ii) promptly upon receipt by the Company or
    its Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of
    Loss, the Company shall ratably repay the Loans other than Swing Loans
    in an aggregate amount equal to the Release Price, in the case of a
    Disposition, or the amount of such Net Proceeds, in the case of an
    Event of Loss.
    
                   (c)  Amortization Payments.  Provided that all of the
    conditions set forth in Section 2.8 have been satisfied or waived, the
    Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Account of the
    Banks, on each Interest Payment Date during the period from and after
    June 1, 2001, an amount equal to one-two hundred fortieths (1/240) of
    the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the initial
    Maturity Date.
    
                   (d)  Application of Repayments.  Any repayments
    pursuant to this subsection 2.7.2 shall be (i) subject to Section 3.4,
    and (ii) applied first to any Reference Rate Loans then outstanding
    and then to LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods
    remaining.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
    subsection 2.7.2, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, there
    shall be deemed outstanding on the Loans other than Swing Loans at all
    times prior to the Maturity Date principal in the amount of at least
    $10.00 to the extent necessary to maintain the liens granted in the
    Collateral Documents.  
    
                   2.7.3     Repayment at Maturity.  The Company shall
    repay the principal amount of all outstanding Loans on the Maturity
    Date or, if earlier, upon termination of the Banks' commitment
    pursuant to Section 2.6.
    
              2.8  Extension of Maturity Date.  Upon the Company's
    written request, delivered to the Administrative Agent at least sixty
    (60) days and not more than 180 days prior to the initial Maturity
    Date, such Maturity Date may be extended for a single period of one
    (1) year, provided that:
    
                   (a)  No Default or Event of Default shall have
         occurred and remain uncured on the initial Maturity Date, and
         the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to
         that effect signed by an authorized representative of the
         Company;
    
                   (b)  The representations and warranties set forth in
         this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be correct as
         of the initial Maturity Date as though made on and as of that
         date, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a
         certificate to that effect signed by a Responsible Officer;
    
                   (c)  The Company shall have paid to the
         Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks, an extension
         fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the Maximum
         Commitment Amount on the initial Maturity Date; and
    
                   (d)  The conditions set forth in subsections 4.3.6
         and 4.3.7 shall have been satisfied to the extent necessary to
         evidence the extension of the Maturity Date and to maintain and
         insure the validity and the priority of the Liens securing the
         Obligations.
    
    On the initial Maturity Date, the Maximum Commitment Amount will
    automatically be reduced to the sum of (i) aggregate outstanding
    principal amount of the Loans on such date plus (ii) the "Maximum
    Commitment Amount" under and as defined in the Unsecured Loan
    Agreement on such date.  During the period from and after the initial
    Maturity Date, the Company shall have no right to request, and the
    Banks shall have no obligation to make, Loans to the Company; and the
    Company shall have no right to request, and BofA shall have no
    obligation to make or to issue, Swing Loans to the Company or Letters
    of Credit for the Company's account.
    
              2.9  Interest.
    
                   2.9.1     Accrual Rate.  Subject to subsection 2.9.3,
    each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
    thereof from the date when made (which, in the case of a drawing on a
    Letter of Credit, is the date of such drawing) until it becomes due at
    a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate or the Reference Rate, as the
    case may be, plus the Applicable Margin.
    
                   2.9.2     Payment.  Interest on each Loan shall be
    payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Interest shall also
    be payable on the date of any repayment of Loans pursuant to
    subsections 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 for the portion of the Loans so repaid and
    upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof, if required by
    the Administrative Agent, and, during the existence of any Event of
    Default, interest shall be payable on demand.
    
                   2.9.3     Default Interest.  Commencing (i) ten (10)
    Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default under
    subsection 8.1.3 or (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of
    Default, and continuing thereafter while such Event of Default exists,
    or after maturity or acceleration, the Company shall pay interest
    (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent
    permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Obligations due and
    unpaid, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 3% per annum
    to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans and, in the
    case of Obligations not subject to an Applicable Margin, at a rate per
    annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 3.00%; provided, however, that,
    on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any
    LIBOR Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of
    Default or acceleration, the principal amount of such Loan shall,
    during the continuation of such Event of Default or after
    acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference
    Rate plus 3.00%.
    
                   2.9.4     Maximum Legal Rate.  Notwithstanding any
    contrary provision this Agreement, the Company's obligations to any
    Bank hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of
    interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is
    computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such
    Bank's contracting for or receiving such payment would be contrary to
    the provisions of any law applicable to such Bank limiting the highest
    rate of interest that such Bank may lawfully contract for, charge or
    receive, and in such event the Company shall pay such Bank interest at
    the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
    
              2.10 Fees.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative
    Agent, for the account of the Banks (based on the allocations set
    forth below or such other allocations as may be agreed to by or among
    the Banks, or any of them, in writing from time to time): (a) on the
    Closing Date a one-time commitment fee equal to the amount set forth
    in the fee letter of even date herewith among the Company, BofA and
    the Administrative Agent (the "Fee Letter"); and (b) an unused
    commitment fee equal to (i) 0.200% per annum of the average during a
    calendar quarter of the daily difference between the Maximum
    Commitment Amount and the sum of the principal amounts outstanding
    hereunder and under the Unsecured Credit Agreement (the "Average
    Unused"), if the weighted average principal amount outstanding
    hereunder during such calendar quarter is less than fifty percent
    (50%) of the weighted average Maximum Commitment Amount during such
    calendar quarter, or (ii) 0.125% per annum of the Average Unused if
    the weighted average principal amount outstanding hereunder during
    such calendar quarter is greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%)
    of the weighted average Maximum Commitment Amount during such calendar
    quarter, in each case measured quarterly and payable quarterly in
    arrears on each October 1, January 1, April 1, and July 1, commencing
    July 1, 1998 (for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 1998).  In
    addition, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
    own account, an annual agency fee in an amount and at the times set
    forth in the Fee Letter.
    
              2.11 Computation of Fees and Interest.  All computations of
    interest and fees under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a
    360-day year and actual days elapsed, which results in more interest
    or fees being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year. 
    Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which
    interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the
    last day thereof.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting
    from a change in the Reference Rate or the Reserve Percentage shall
    become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which
    such change in the Reference Rate or the Reserve Percentage becomes
    effective.  Each determination of an interest rate by the
    Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall
    be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence
    of manifest error.
    
              2.12 Payments by the Company.  
    
                   2.12.1   All payments (including prepayments) to be
    made by the Company on account of principal, interest, fees and other
    amounts required hereunder shall be made without set off or
    counterclaim and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
    be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks at
    the Administrative Agent's Payment Office, in dollars and in
    immediately available funds, no later than 10:00 a.m. San Francisco
    time on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will
    promptly distribute to each Bank its Pro Rata Share (or other
    applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as
    received.  Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than
    10:00 a.m. San Francisco time shall be deemed to have been received on
    the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or
    fee shall continue to accrue.  
    
                   2.12.2   Subject to the provisions set forth in the
    definition of the term "Interest Period," whenever any payment
    hereunder is stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
    payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
    extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
    interest or fees, as the case may be.
    
                   2.12.3   Unless the Administrative Agent receives
    notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due
    and payable to the Banks that the Company will not make such payment
    in full as and when required, the Administrative Agent may assume that
    the Company has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent
    on such date in immediately available funds and the Administrative
    Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
    assumption, distribute to each Bank on such date an amount equal to
    the amount then due and payable to such Bank.  If and to the extent
    the Company has not made such payment in full to the Administrative
    Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand the
    amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon at the
    Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is
    distributed to such Bank until the date repaid.
    
              2.13 Payments by the Banks to the Administrative Agent.
    
                   2.13.1   With respect to any Borrowing, unless the
    Administrative Agent receives notice from a Bank at least one (1)
    Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Bank will
    not make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
    Company, the amount of that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing as
    and when required hereunder, the Administrative Agent may assume that
    each Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent
    in immediately available funds on the borrowing date and the
    Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance
    upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a
    corresponding amount.  If and to the extent any Bank shall not have
    made its full amount available to the Administrative Agent in
    immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent in such
    circumstances has made available to the Company such amount, that Bank
    shall, on the Business Day following such borrowing date, make such
    amount available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest
    at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period.  A notice
    of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to
    amounts owing under this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive absent
    manifest error.  If such amount is so made available, such payment to
    the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank's Loan on the date
    of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.  If such amount is
    not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day
    following the Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the
    Company of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative
    Agent, the Company shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent
    for the Administrative Agent's account, together with interest thereon
    for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per
    annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans
    comprising such Borrowing.
    
                   2.13.2   The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on
    any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation
    hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Bank shall be
    responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be
    made by such other Bank on any borrowing date.
    
              2.14 Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If, other than as expressly
    provided elsewhere herein, any Bank shall obtain on account of the
    Obligations owing to it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
    or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
    contemplated hereunder), such Bank shall immediately (a) notify the
    Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other
    Banks such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be
    necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment
    pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
    portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the
    purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded, and
    each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price
    paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Bank's
    ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
    paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
    from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
    payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so
    recovered.  The Company agrees that any Bank so purchasing a
    participation from another Bank may, to the fullest extent permitted
    by law, exercise all its rights of payment (other than the right of
    set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank
    were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such
    participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which
    shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of
    participations purchased under this Section and will in each case
    notify the Banks following any such purchases or repayments.  
    
              2.15 Security; Appraisal of Approved Parcels.  
    
                   2.15.1   All obligations of the Company under this
    Agreement, the Revolving Notes and all other Loan Documents (but not
    including the Environmental Indemnity) shall be secured in accordance
    with the Collateral Documents.  
    
                   2.15.2   At any time and from time to time the
    Administrative Agent shall have the right to obtain a new Appraisal of
    any Approved Parcel; provided, however, that so long as no Event of
    Default has occurred and remains uncured, the Company shall pay the
    cost of only one such Appraisal of each Approved Parcel during any
    twenty-four (24) consecutive calendar month period.  For each Approved
    Parcel, the Company may request in writing, not more often than once
    during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar month period, that the
    Administrative Agent obtain a new Appraisal of such Approved Parcel at
    the Company's sole expense.  
    
              2.16 Release of Lien on Approved Parcel.
    
                   2.16.1   Release Conditions.  The Administrative Agent
    shall reconvey and release its Lien on an Approved Parcel upon the
    Company's satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:
    
                   (a)  The Company shall have submitted to the
         Administrative Agent a written request that the Administrative
         Agent reconvey and release its Lien on such Approved Parcel;  
    
                   (b)  The Company shall have paid to the
         Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks, the lesser
         of (i) the Release Price for such Approved Parcel, or (ii) the
         then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans;
    
                   (c)  There shall have occurred no Default or Event of
         Default that remains uncured, and the Administrative Agent shall
         have received a certificate to that effect signed by a
         Responsible Officer;
    
                   (d)  The Approved Parcel to be reconveyed constitutes
         a legally separable and transferable lot or parcel under all
         applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to
         the subdivision or parceling of real property and the transfer
         thereof; and 
    
                   (e)  Upon the Administrative Agent's request, the
         Administrative Agent has been furnished, at the Company's sole
         cost, with a CLTA form 111 indorsement or such other
         indorsements to any Title Policy as the Administrative Agent may
         require, assuring the Administrative Agent that the reconveyance
         will not result in the subordination of the lien of any Mortgage
         as to the remaining Approved Parcels to any other lien or claim
         affecting any such Approved Parcels.
    
    The foregoing conditions precedent are solely for the benefit of the
    Administrative Agent and the Banks, any may be waived in a writing
    signed by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority
    Banks, and in no other manner.
    
                   2.16.2   Application of Release Price.  The Release
    Price of each Approved Parcel shall be applied, in the Administrative
    Agent's sole discretion, first to any amounts due hereunder other than
    interest or principal then due and payable, then to interest then due,
    and then to the prepayment of principal (first to any Reference Rate
    Loans then outstanding and then to LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest
    Interest Periods remaining).
    
              2.17 Tenant Documents.  The Company shall deliver to the
    Administrative Agent (or cause any Subsidiary of the Company to
    deliver to the Administrative Agent), within sixty (60) days after the
    recording of a Mortgage encumbering a Parcel for the benefit of the
    Administrative Agent and the Banks:  (a) estoppel certificates, in
    form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed
    by each tenant whose lease covers at least twenty-five percent (25%)
    of the net rentable area of the improvements located on such Parcel;
    and (b) estoppel certificates and/or subordination, nondisturbance and
    attornment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to the
    Administrative Agent, executed by such additional tenants as the
    Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Company prior to the
    recording of the Mortgage encumbering such Parcel, may require.  In
    the event that the Company fails to deliver such estoppel certificates
    or subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements to the
    Administrative Agent within such sixty (60) day period, such Parcel
    shall, at the option of the Majority Banks exercised by written notice
    from the Administrative Agent to the Company within sixty (60) days
    after the expiration of the sixty-day period within which Borrower is
    required to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.17, cease to
    be an Approved Parcel.  Upon such written notice from the
    Administrative Agent, the Availability shall be adjusted to reflect
    such change and the Company shall repay to the Administrative Agent,
    for the benefit of the Banks, within thirty (30) days after such
    written notice from the Administrative Agent, any amounts payable
    pursuant to Section 2.7.2(a).  The Banks shall be deemed to have
    waived their right to cause a Parcel to cease to be an Approved Parcel
    pursuant to this Section 2.17 if the Banks fail to act within sixty
    (60) days after the end of the period within which the Company is
    required to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.17.
    
              2.18 Collateral Documents.  If (a) any provision of any
    Collateral Document shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding
    on or enforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
    party thereto, or the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall
    so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or
    liabilities thereunder or (b) any Collateral Document shall for any
    reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a
    valid security interest in the Collateral purported to be covered
    thereby or such security interest shall for any reason cease to be a
    perfected and first priority security interest subject only to
    Permitted Liens and Permitted Encumbrances, the Parcel encumbered by
    such Collateral Document shall, at the option of the Majority Banks,
    immediately cease to be an Approved Parcel, the Availability shall
    immediately be adjusted to reflect such change and the Company shall
    repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks,
    within thirty (30) days after notice from the Administrative Agent,
    any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7.2(a).
    
              2.19 Increases and Decreases in Pro Rata Shares.  Upon the
    Company's satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section
    4.2 of this Agreement, each Bank whose Pro Rata Share of the combined
    Commitments of all of the Banks has increased, as evidenced by the
    difference for each Bank between the Pro Rata Share reflected in the
    Existing Credit Agreement and the Pro Rata Share reflected in this
    Agreement, shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to
    the Banks whose Pro Rata Shares of the combined Commitments of all of
    the Banks has decreased pursuant to this Agreement, an amount equal to
    the product of the increase in such Bank's Pro Rata Share (expressed
    as a decimal) multiplied by the aggregate outstanding principal amount
    of the Loans on the date of determination.
    
         3.   Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality.
    
              3.1  Taxes.  If any taxes (other than taxes on a Bank's net
    income) are at any time imposed on any payments under or in respect of
    this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder,
    including payments made pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Company
    shall pay all such taxes and shall also pay to the Administrative
    Agent, for the account of the applicable Bank, at the time interest is
    paid, all additional amounts which such Bank specifies as necessary to
    preserve the yield, after payment of such taxes, that such Bank would
    have received if such taxes had not been imposed.
    
              3.2  Illegality.
    
                   (a)  If any Bank determines that (i) the introduction
         of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of
         Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made
         it unlawful, or (ii) any central bank or other Governmental
         Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its
         applicable Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on
         notice thereof by such Bank to the Company and the
         Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR
         Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Bank shall have
         notified the Company and the Administrative Agent that the
         circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
    
                   (b)  If any Bank determines that it is unlawful to
         maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Company shall, upon its
         receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Bank (with a
         copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in full all LIBOR Rate
         Loans of that Bank then outstanding, together with interest
         accrued thereon and any amounts required to be paid in
         connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.4, either on the last
         day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Bank may lawfully
         continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or
         immediately, if such Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain
         such LIBOR Rate Loans.
    
                   (c)  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of
         Section 2.1, if the Company is required to prepay any LIBOR Rate
         Loan immediately as provided in subsection 3.2(b), then
         concurrently with such prepayment the Company shall borrow a
         Reference Rate Loan from the affected Bank in the amount of such
         repayment.
    
                   (d)  If the obligation of any Bank to make or
         maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, the Company may
         elect, by giving notice to such Bank through the Administrative
         Agent, that all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank
         as LIBOR Rate Loans shall instead be Reference Rate Loans.
    
                   (e)  Before giving any notice to the Administrative
         Agent or the Company pursuant to this Section 3.2, the affected
         Bank shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to
         its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation would avoid the need
         for giving such notice or making such demand and would not, in
         the judgment of such Bank, be illegal or otherwise
         disadvantageous to such Bank.
    
              3.3  Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
    
                   (a)  If any Bank determines that, due to either (i)
         the introduction of, or any change (other than a change by way
         of imposition of, or increase in, reserve requirements included
         in the Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of, any
         law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by such Bank (or its
         Lending Office) or any Corporation controlling such Bank with
         any guideline or request from any central bank or other
         Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law),
         there shall be any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing
         to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans,
         then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to
         time, upon demand therefor by such Bank with a copy to the
         Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the
         account of such Bank such additional amounts as are sufficient
         to compensate such Bank for such increased costs.
    
                   (b)  If any Bank determines that (i) the introduction
         of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any
         Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the
         interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy
         Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority
         charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
         (iv) compliance by such Bank (or its Lending Office), or any
         corporation controlling such Bank, with any Capital Adequacy
         Regulation affects or would affect the amount of capital that
         such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank is required
         or expected to maintain, and such Bank (taking into
         consideration such Bank's or such corporation's policies with
         respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's desired return on
         capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased
         as a consequence of any of its loans, credits or obligations
         under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Bank to the
         Company through the Administrative Agent, the Company shall
         immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
         such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank,
         additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such
         increase.
    
              3.4  Funding Losses.  The Company agrees to pay to the
    Administrative Agent, from time to time, for the account of the Banks,
    any amount that would be necessary to reimburse the Banks for, and to
    hold the Banks harmless from, any loss or expense which the Banks may
    sustain or incur as a consequence of:
    
                   (a)  the failure of the Company to make any payment
         or prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including
         payments made after any acceleration thereof);
    
                   (b)  the failure of the Company to borrow, continue
         or convert a Loan after the Company has given (or is deemed to
         have given) a Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation
         Notice;
    
                   (c)  the failure of the Company to make any
         prepayment after the Company has given a notice in accordance
         with Section 2.6;
    
                   (d)  the prepayment (including pursuant to
         Section 2.7.2) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the
         last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto;
    
                   (e)  the conversion pursuant to subsection 2.5 of any
         LIBOR Rate Loan to a Reference Rate Loan on a day that is not
         the last day of the respective Interest Period; 
    
    including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
    reemployment of funds obtained to maintain the LIBOR Rate Loans
    hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
    such funds were obtained.  Solely for purposes of calculating amounts
    payable by the Company to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
    the Banks, under this Section 3.4, each LIBOR Rate Loan (and each
    related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be
    conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in
    determining the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching
    deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore dollar interbank
    market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or
    not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.
    
              3.5  Inability to Determine Rates.  If any Bank determines
    that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
    ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with
    respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR Rate
    applicable pursuant to subsection 2.9.1 for any requested Interest
    Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately
    and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank of funding such Loan, such
    Bank will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Company
    through the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the obligation of such
    Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended
    until such Bank revokes such notice in writing.  Upon receipt of such
    notice, the Company may revoke any Borrowing Notice or
    Conversion/Continuation Notice then submitted by it.  If the Company
    does not revoke such notice, the affected Bank shall make, convert or
    continue the Loans, as proposed by the Company, in the amount
    specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Company, but such
    Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Reference Rate Loans
    instead of LIBOR Rate Loans.
    
              3.6  Certificate of Bank.  Any Bank, if claiming
    reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article 3, shall
    deliver to the Company through the Administrative Agent a certificate
    setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Bank
    hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the
    Company in the absence of manifest error.
    
              3.7  Survival.  The agreements and obligations of the
    Company in this Article 3 shall survive the payment and performance of
    all other Obligations.
    
         4.   Conditions Precedent.
    
              4.1  Conditions to Approving Parcels.  Subject to the
    provisions of Section 10.18, a Parcel shall be considered an Approved

    owned by a Permitted Partnership shall become an Approved Parcel if it

    Approved Parcels owned by Permitted Partnerships to exceed ten percent

              5.20 Year 2000 Compliance.  The Company is conducting a
    comprehensive review and assessment of the Company's computer
    applications and is making inquiry of the Company's key suppliers,
    vendors and customers with respect to the "year 2000 problem" (that
    is, the risk that computer applications may not be able properly to
    perform date-sensitive functions after December 31, 1999) and, based
    on this ongoing review and inquiry, the Company does not believe that
    the year 2000 problem will result in a Material Adverse Effect.
    
         6.   Affirmative Covenants.  The Company covenants and agrees
    that, so long as any Bank shall have any obligation hereunder, or any
    Loan or other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, unless
    the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Majority Banks, waives
    compliance in writing:

         Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions
         on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of such
         Property under any Environmental Laws;
    
                   (e)  of any of the following ERISA events affecting

    Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written
    statement by a Responsible Officer of the Company setting forth
    details of the occurrence referred to therein, and stating what action
    the Company proposes to take with respect thereto and at what time. 
    Each notice under subsection 6.3(a) shall describe with particularity
    any and all clauses or provisions of this Agreement or other Loan
    Document that have been breached or violated.
    
              6.4  Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc.  Subject to
    the provisions of Section 7.2, the Company shall, and shall cause each
    of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted Partnership to:
    
                   (a)  preserve and maintain in full force and effect
         its corporate or partnership existence and good standing under
         the laws of its state or jurisdiction of incorporation;
    
                   (b)  preserve and maintain in full force and effect
         all rights, privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and
         franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its
         business;
    
                   (c)  use its reasonable efforts, in the Ordinary
         Course of Business, to preserve its business organization; and
    
                   (d)  in the case of each Permitted Partnership,
         preserve and maintain in full force and effect, without
         amendment or modification, such Permitted Partnership's
         agreement of limited partnership and certificate of limited
         partnership, and otherwise at all times continue to satisfy all
         of the requirements set forth in the definition of the term
         "Permitted Partnership".
    
              6.5  Maintenance of Property.  The Company shall maintain,
    and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted
    Partnership to maintain, and preserve all of its Property which is
    used or useful in its business in good working order and condition,
    ordinary wear and tear excepted and make all necessary repairs thereto
    and renewals and replacements thereof except where the failure to do
    so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
    
              6.6  Insurance.  In addition to insurance requirements set
    forth in the Collateral Documents, the Company shall maintain, and
    shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted Partnership to
    maintain, with financially sound and reputable independent insurers,
    insurance with respect to its Properties and business against loss or
    damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in
    the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts as are
    customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons,
    including workers' compensation insurance, public liability insurance,
    property and casualty insurance and rental interruption insurance, the
    amount of which shall not be reduced by the Company, any Subsidiary of
    the Company or any Permitted Partnership in the absence of thirty (30)
    days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  All casualty
    insurance covering an Approved Parcel maintained by the Company and
    its Subsidiaries shall name the Administrative Agent, as
    administrative agent for the Banks, as loss payee, and all liability,
    rental interruption and other insurance covering an Approved Parcel
    maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries shall name the
    Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for the Banks, as
    additional insured as its interest may appear.  Upon request of the
    Administrative Agent, the Company shall furnish the Administrative
    Agent at reasonable intervals (but not more often than once per
    calendar year) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company
    (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent any insurance broker
    for the Company) setting forth the nature and extent of all insurance
    maintained by the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Permitted
    Partnership in accordance with this Section 6.6 or any Collateral
    Documents (and which, in the case of a certificate of a broker, were
    placed through such broker).
    
              6.7  Payment of Obligations.  The Company shall, and shall
    cause its Subsidiaries and each Permitted Partnership to, pay and
    discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all their
    respective obligations and liabilities, including:
    
                   (a)  all tax liabilities, assessments and
         governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or
         assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by
         appropriate proceedings (which proceedings have the effect of
         preventing the imposition of a Lien on, or the forfeiture or
         sale of, any Property of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
         any Permitted Partnership) and adequate reserves in accordance
         with GAAP are being maintained by the Company or such Subsidiary
         or Permitted Partnership;
    
                   (b)  all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law
         become a Lien upon its Property unless the same are being
         contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings (which
         proceedings have the effect of preventing the imposition of a
         Lien on, or the forfeiture or sale of, any Property of the
         Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Permitted Partnership)
         and adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being
         maintained by the Company or such Subsidiary or Permitted
         Partnership; and
    
                   (c)  all Indebtedness, as and when due and payable,
         but subject to any subordination provisions contained in any
         instrument or agreement evidencing such Indebtedness.
    
              6.8  Compliance with Laws.  The Company shall comply, and
    shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted Partnership to
    comply, in all material respects with all Requirements of Law of any
    Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business or
    any of its Property, except such as may be contested in good faith or
    as to which a bona fide dispute may exist.
    
              6.9  Inspection of Property and Books and Records.  The
    Company shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and
    each Permitted Partnership to maintain, proper books of record and
    account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with
    GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions
    and matters involving the assets and business of the Company and such
    Subsidiaries and Permitted Partnerships.  The Company shall permit,
    and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted
    Partnership to permit, representatives of the Administrative Agent or
    any Bank to visit and inspect any of their respective Properties, to
    examine their respective corporate, financial and operating records,
    and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss their
    respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective
    directors, officers and independent public accountants, all at the
    expense of the Company (which shall include all internal or outside
    legal and other consultant fees and other out-of-pocket expenses
    incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks in connection
    with any such inspection, but shall not include the Administrative
    Agent's or any Bank's normal overhead or employee costs of
    administering the Loans) and at such reasonable times during normal
    business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon
    reasonable advance notice to the Company; provided, however, that when
    an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent or any Bank may do
    any of the foregoing at the expense of the Company at any time during
    normal business hours and without advance notice.  No actions by the
    Administrative Agent or any Bank pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall
    unreasonably interfere with (a) the performance by the Company's
    employees of their duties or (b) the occupancy of any of the Company's
    tenants.
    
              6.10 Environmental Laws.  The Company shall, and shall
    cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted Partnership to,
    conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Property in
    compliance with all Environmental Laws whose violation could,
    individually or in the aggregate, result in liability in excess of
    $250,000.  Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or any
    Bank, the Company shall submit, and cause each of its Subsidiaries and
    each Permitted Partnership to submit, to the Administrative Agent,
    with sufficient copies for each Bank, at the Company's sole cost and
    expense, at reasonable intervals, a report providing an update of the
    status of any environmental, health or safety compliance, hazard or
    liability issue identified in any notice or report required pursuant
    to subsection 6.3(d), that could, individually or in the aggregate,
    result in liability in excess of $250,000.
    
              6.11 Use of Proceeds.  Subject to the provisions of
    Section 3.2(c), the Company shall use the proceeds of the Loans solely
    for the purpose of (i) facilitating the Company's acquisition of
    improved real property (subject to the provisions of Section 7.12),
    (ii) financing the Company's operating expenses, including development
    activities (subject to the provisions of Sections 7.15 and 7.16), and
    (iii) repurchasing shares of the Company's common or preferred stock.
    
              6.12 Solvency.  The Company shall at all times be, and
    shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each Permitted Partnership to
    be, Solvent.
    
              6.13 Further Assurances.  Promptly upon request by the
    Administrative Agent, the Company shall (and shall cause any of its
    Subsidiaries or any Permitted Partnership to) do such further acts,
    and execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file,
    register and re-register any and all deeds, conveyances, security
    agreements, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, estoppel
    certificates, financing statements and continuations thereof,
    termination statements, notices of assignment, transfers,
    certificates, assurances and other instruments, as the Administrative
    Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry
    out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan
    Document, (ii) subject to the Liens created by any of the Collateral
    Documents any of the Properties, rights or interests covered by any of
    the Collateral Documents, (iii) perfect and maintain the validity,
    effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the
    Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) better assure, convey,
    grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the
    Administrative Agent and the Banks the rights granted or now or
    hereafter intended to be granted to the Administrative Agent or the
    Banks under any Loan Document or under any other document executed in
    connection therewith.
    
         7.   Negative Covenants.  The Company hereby covenants and
    agrees that, so long as any Bank shall have any obligation hereunder,
    or any Loan or other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied,
    unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Majority Banks,
    waives compliance in writing:
    
              7.1  Limitation on Liens.  The Company shall not, and shall
    not suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any Permitted
    Partnership to, directly or indirectly, make, create, incur, assume or
    suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any part of the
    Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than the
    following ("Permitted Liens"):
    
                   (a)  any Lien created under any Loan Document;
    
                   (b)  Liens for taxes, fees, assessments or other
         governmental charges which are not delinquent or remain payable
         without penalty, or to the extent that non-payment thereof is
         permitted by Section 6.7, provided that no Notice of Lien has
         been filed or recorded; or
    
                   (c)  carriers', warehousemen's, mechanics',
         landlords', materialmen's, repairmen's or other similar Liens
         arising in the Ordinary Course of Business which are not
         delinquent or remain payable without penalty or which are being
         contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, which
         proceedings have the effect of preventing the forfeiture or sale
         of the Property subject thereto.
    
              7.2  Consolidations and Mergers.  The Company shall not,
    and shall not suffer or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any
    Permitted Partnership to, merge, consolidate with or into, or convey,
    transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or
    in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets
    (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to or in favor of any
    Person, except:
    
                   (a)  any Subsidiary of the Company or any Permitted
         Partnership may merge with (i) the Company, provided that the
         Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person, or (ii) any
         one or more subsidiaries of the Company, provided that (A) if
         any transaction shall be between a Permitted Partnership and a
         Subsidiary, the Subsidiary shall be the continuing or surviving
         Person and (B) if any transaction shall be between a Subsidiary
         or any Permitted Partnership and a wholly-owned Subsidiary, the
         wholly-owned Subsidiary shall be the continuing or surviving
         Person; and
    
                   (b)  any Subsidiary of the Company or any Permitted
         Partnership may sell all or substantially all of its assets
         (upon voluntary liquidation or otherwise) to the Company or a
         wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company;
    
    provided, however, that so long as the continuing or surviving Person

    Specified Swap Contract, upon the occurrence of any event of default,
    a Termination Event or an Early Termination Date under a Specified
    Swap Contract, the Swap Provider shall have no right to exercise any
    of its rights or remedies against the Company under the Specified Swap
    Contract, and the Swap Provider's sole rights and remedies against the
    Company shall be limited to those of a "Bank" under the Loan
    Documents, until all of the Collateral has been exhausted.  In
    particular, a Swap Provider shall have no right to commence or
    prosecute any action against the Company under the Specified Swap
    Contract, to realize upon any of the Collateral or to set off against
    any deposit account of the Company with the Swap Provider.  Upon the
    occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any
    payment by the Company to a Swap Provider pursuant to a Specified Swap
    Contract, including any payment on any claim filed by such Swap
    Provider in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against the
    Company, shall be considered to be a payment on account of the
    Obligations that is subject to the provisions of Section 2.13, until
    all of the Obligations have been paid or otherwise satisfied in full,
    and shall thereafter be considered to be a payment on account of all
    of the Specified Swap Obligations, and shall be shared by all of the
    Swap Providers pursuant to this Section 8.5 in the manner set forth in
    Section 2.13.  Each Swap Provider agrees that the provisions of this
    Section 8.5.2 relating to restrictions on the exercise of remedies
    shall not apply to BofA acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent
    for the Banks.
    
                   8.5.3   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
    including an Event of Default under Section 8.1.13, the proceeds of
    any Collateral shall first be applied to the Obligations, until all of
    the Obligations have been paid or otherwise satisfied in full, and
    then to the Specified Swap Obligations, until all of the Specified
    Swap Obligations have been paid or otherwise satisfied in full.
    
                   8.5.4   Each Swap Provider agrees that its issuance of
    a Specified Swap Contract shall not alter any of its rights, duties or
    liabilities, or the rights, duties or liabilities of the
    Administrative Agent or any other Bank, under the Loan Documents, and
    each Swap Provider agrees that the Administrative Agent's or any
    Bank's exercise of any of its rights under the Loan Documents, with or
    without the consent of such Swap Provider, shall not alter, waive or
    otherwise prejudice the Administrative Agent's or any Bank's rights
    with respect to such Swap Provider under this Section 8.5.
    
                   8.5.5   The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall
    survive the full repayment or satisfaction of the Obligations, and
    shall continue in force until all of the Specified Swap Obligations
    owing from the Company to each Swap Provider have been paid or
    otherwise satisfied in full.
    
         9.   The Administrative Agent.
    
              9.1  Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative
    Agent. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and
    authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf
    under the provisions of this Agreement, each other Loan Document and
    the Environmental Indemnity, and to exercise such powers and perform
    such duties, as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
    Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Environmental Indemnity,
    together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and as
    further provided in the Co-Lender Agreement described below. 
    
              9.2  The Administrative Agent's Powers.  Subject to the
    limitations set forth in the Loan Documents, the Environmental
    Indemnity and Co-Lender Agreement, the  Administrative Agent's powers
    include but are not limited to the power: (a) to administer, manage
    and service the Loans; (b) to enforce the Loan Documents and/or the
    Environmental Indemnity; (c) to make all decisions under the Loan
    Documents or the Environmental Indemnity in connection with the day-
    to-day administration of the Loans, any inspections required by the
    Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, and other routine
    administration and servicing matters; (d) to collect and receive from
    the Company or any third persons all payments of amounts due under the
    terms of the Loan Documents and to distribute the amounts thereof to
    the Banks; (e) to collect and distribute or disburse all other amounts
    due under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity; (f) to
    grant or withhold consents, approvals or waivers, and make any other
    determinations in connection with the Loan Documents or the
    Environmental Indemnity; and (g) to exercise all such powers as are
    incidental to any of the foregoing matters.  The Administrative Agent
    shall furnish to the Banks copies of material documents, including
    confidential ones, received from the Company regarding the Loans, the
    Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity and the transactions
    contemplated thereby.  The Administrative Agent shall have no
    responsibility with respect to the authenticity, validity, accuracy or
    completeness of the information provided.
    
              9.3  Limitation on the Administrative Agent's Duties.  
    Notwithstanding any contrary provision of any Loan Document or the
    Environmental Indemnity, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
    duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the
    Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or the Co-Lender
    Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any fiduciary
    relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants,
    responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
    into this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Environmental
    Indemnity or the Co-Lender Agreement against the Administrative Agent.
    
              9.4  Acknowledgment of Co-Lender Agreement.  The Company
    acknowledges that the Banks have executed a Co-Lender Agreement to
    supplement the Loan Documents with respect to the relationship of the
    Banks and the Administrative Agent among themselves in connection with
    the Loans.  The Co-Lender Agreement is not a Loan Document.
    
              9.5  Co-Agents.  None of the Banks identified on the face
    page or the signature pages of this Agreement as a "Co-Agent" shall
    have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty
    under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents other than those
    applicable to all Banks as such.
    
              9.6  Successor Administrative Agent and Co-Agents.  The
    Administrative Agent or any Co-Agent may, and at the request of the
    Majority Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as
    the case may be, upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Banks.  If the
    Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks
    shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent. 
    If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the
    effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
    Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks, a
    successor administrative agent which would qualify as an Eligible
    Assignee.  If a Co-Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
    Administrative Agent shall elect either (a) to assume the rights and
    obligations, if any, of such Co-Agent, and thereupon all references to
    such Co-Agent shall be deemed references to the Administrative Agent,
    or (b) to appoint a successor Co-Agent from among the Banks.  Upon its
    acceptance of the appointment as successor administrative agent or
    co-agent hereunder, as the case may be, such successor shall succeed
    to all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
    Agent or Co-Agent, as the case may be, the term "Administrative Agent"
    or "Co-Agent", as the case may be, shall mean such successor, and the
    appointment, powers and duties of such retiring Administrative Agent
    or Co-Agent, as the case may be, shall terminate.  After any retiring
    Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
    the provisions of this Agreement or the Environmental Indemnity
    regarding payment of costs and expenses and indemnification of the
    Administrative Agent shall inure to its benefit as to any actions that
    such retiring Administrative Agent took or omitted to take while it
    was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor
    administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
    by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring
    Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring
    Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become
    effective, and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the
    Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
    Majority Banks appoint a successor administrative agent in the manner
    set forth above.  Upon replacement of the Administrative Agent as
    provided in this Agreement, the former Administrative Agent shall
    promptly deliver to the new Administrative Agent an assignment of all
    beneficial interest in any Mortgage and any other Collateral Documents
    (if before acquisition of title to the Collateral encumbered thereby),
    or a quitclaim deed to and assignment of any such Property (if after
    acquisition of the Collateral encumbered thereby) and copies of any
    books, records and documents related to the Loans and the Collateral
    to which the Banks are entitled and which is then in the former
    Administrative Agent's possession.
    
         10.  Miscellaneous.
    
              10.1 Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any
    provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent
    with respect to any departure by the Company or any of its
    Subsidiaries therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in
    writing and signed by the Administrative Agent at the written request
    of the Majority Banks, and then such waiver shall be effective only in
    the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
    provided however, that no such amendment or waiver shall do any of the
    following unless it is in writing and signed by the Administrative
    Agent at the written request of all the Banks:
    
                   (a)  Increase the Commitment of any Bank; 
    
                   (b)  Postpone or delay any date fixed by this
         Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of
         principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Banks (or
         any one of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
    
                   (c)  Reduce the rate of interest or any fees or other
         amounts payable in connection with the Loan;
    
                   (d)  Change the voting percentage of the Commitments
         or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that is
         required for the Banks, or any of them, to take any action
         hereunder;
    
                   (e)  Amend this or any provision requiring consent of
         all Banks for action by the Banks or the Administrative Agent;
    
                   (f)  Discharge the Company or any guarantor, or
         release any of the Collateral, except as otherwise may be
         provided in the Loan Documents or except where the consent of
         only the Majority Banks is expressly required by any Loan
         Document; 
    
                   (g)  Amend Section 7.10, Section 7.11, Section 7.15,
         Section 7.16, Section 7.17 or Section 8 of the Loan Agreement,
         or the definitions of the terms "Collateral Value" or "Cash Flow
         Value" set forth in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement.
    
              10.2 Notices.
    
                   (a)  All notices, requests and other communications
         provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including, unless
         the context expressly otherwise provides, facsimile
         transmission) and mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid,
         return receipt requested), delivered or telecopied to the
         address or number specified for notices on the applicable
         signature page hereof, or to such other address as shall be
         designated by such party in a written notice to the other
         parties.
    
                   (b)  All such notices and communications shall, when
         transmitted by overnight delivery or telecopied by facsimile, be
         effective when delivered for overnight delivery or transmitted
         by telecopier, respectively, or if delivered, upon delivery,
         except that notices pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective
         until actually received by the Administrative Agent.  All
         notices and communications telecopied by facsimile will also be
         mailed by ordinary first class mail, postage prepaid.  All such
         notices and communications delivered by mail shall be effective
         upon the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days after deposit in
         the United States mail, or (ii) actual receipt, as evidenced by
         the return receipt.
    
                   (c)  The Company acknowledges and agrees that any
         agreement of the Administrative Agent at Article 2 herein to
         receive certain notices by telephone and facsimile is solely for
         the convenience and at the request of the Company.  The
         Administrative Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to rely on
         the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized
         by the Company to give such notice, and the Administrative Agent
         and the Banks shall not have any liability to the Company or any
         other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the
         Administrative Agent or the Banks in reliance upon such
         telephonic or facsimile notice.  The obligation of the Company
         to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any
         extent by any failure by the Administrative Agent or the Banks
         to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile
         notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Banks
         of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood
         by the Administrative Agent or the Banks to be contained in the
         telephonic or facsimile notice.
    
              10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure on the
    part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising, and no
    delay in its exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
    hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
    partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
    preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
    other right, remedy, power or privilege.
    
              10.4 Costs and Expenses.  The Company shall, whether or not
    the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:
    
                   (a)  pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent within
         fifteen (15) Business Days after demand (subject to subsections
         4.1.12 and 4.2.2) for all costs and expenses incurred by them in
         connection with the development, preparation, delivery,
         administration (other than normal overhead costs of
         administering the Loans) and execution of, and any amendment,
         supplement, waiver or modification to, this Agreement, any other
         Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection
         herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby and thereby, including Attorney Costs
         incurred by BofA (including in its capacity as the
         Administrative Agent) with respect thereto;
    
                   (b)  pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent within
         fifteen (15) Business Days after demand (subject to subsections
         4.1.12 and 4.2.2) for all costs and expenses incurred in
         connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement or
         preservation of any rights or remedies (including in connection
         with any workout or restructuring regarding the Loans) under
         this Agreement, any other Loan Document, and any such other
         documents, including Attorney Costs incurred by the
         Administrative Agent; and
    
                   (c)  pay or reimburse BofA (including in its capacity
         as the Administrative Agent) within thirty (30) days after
         demand (subject to subsections 4.1.12 and 4.2.2) for all
         appraisal (including the allocated cost of internal appraisal
         services), audit, environmental inspection and review (including
         the allocated cost of such internal services), search and filing
         costs, fees and expenses incurred or sustained by BofA
         (including in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) in
         connection with the matters referred to under paragraphs (a)
         and (b) of this Section.
    
              10.5 Indemnity.  Whether or not the transactions
    contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Company shall pay,
    indemnify, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each Bank and each
    of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents
    and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from
    and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
    penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or
    disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature
    whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against any such
    Indemnified Person arising out of relating to the execution, delivery,
    enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement or any
    other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby and
    thereby, and with respect to any investigation, litigation or
    proceeding related to this Agreement or the Loans or the use of the
    proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party
    thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified
    Liabilities"); provided, that the Company shall have no obligation
    hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified
    Liabilities arising solely from the negligence or willful misconduct
    of such Indemnified Person.  The obligations in this Section 10.5
    shall survive payment or satisfaction of all other Obligations.  At
    the election of any Indemnified Person, the Company shall defend such
    Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such
    Indemnified Person in such Person's sole discretion, at the sole cost
    and expense of the Company.  All amounts owing under this Section 10.5
    shall be paid within thirty (30) days after demand.
    
              10.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither the
    Administrative Agent not the Banks shall be under any obligation to
    marshal any assets in favor of the Company or any other Person,
    including any Swap Provider, or against or in payment of any or all of
    the Obligations.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
    payments to the Administrative Agent or the Banks, or the
    Administrative Agent or the Banks enforce their Liens, and such
    payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or any part
    thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
    preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
    receiver or any other party in connection with any Insolvency
    Proceeding, or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery the
    obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall
    be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
    had not been made or such enforcement had not occurred.
    
              10.7 Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this
    Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
    parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except
    that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or
    obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
    the Administrative Agent and each Bank.
    
              10.8 Assignments, Participations, Confidentiality.
    
                   10.8.1   Assignments.  Each Bank may at any time
    assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an
    "Assignee") with the written consent of the Company, which consent
    shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that no written consent
    of the Company shall be required (a) after the occurrence and during
    the continuance of an Event of Default or (b) in connection with any
    assignment and delegation to an Affiliate of such Bank), all of the
    Loans, the Commitment and the other rights and obligations of such
    Bank hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the
    Environmental Indemnity; provided, however, that any Bank that is or
    becomes a party to this Agreement from time to time shall at all times
    retain an interest in the Loans, the Commitment and the other rights
    and obligations of a Bank hereunder in an amount that bears the same
    proportion to the interests of all Banks hereunder as such Bank
    retains in the loans, commitments and other rights and obligations of
    a bank under the Unsecured Loan Agreement; provided further, however,
    that any Bank that is or becomes a party to this Agreement from time
    to time shall at all times retain an interest in the Loans, the
    Commitment and the other rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder in
    an aggregate principal amount of not less than Ten Million Dollars
    ($10,000,000.00); and provided further, however, that any assignment
    of a Bank's interest in the Loans, the Commitment and the other rights
    and obligations of such Bank hereunder and under the other Loan
    Documents shall be in the minimum amount of Ten Million Dollars
    ($10,000,000.00) and multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
    in excess thereof; and provided further, however, that the Company may
    continue to deal solely and directly with the assignor Bank in
    connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i)
    written notice of such assignment, substantially in the form of
    Schedule 1 to the attached Exhibit H, shall have been given to the
    Company and the Administrative Agent by such Bank and the Assignee,
    (ii) such Bank and its Assignee shall have delivered to the
    Administrative Agent and the Company an Assignment and Assumption
    Agreement substantially in the form of the attached Exhibit H
    ("Assignment and Assumption Agreement") (together with any Note(s)
    subject to such assignment), and (iii) the Assignee shall have paid to
    the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of $2,500.  In
    the event that the Company elects to permanently reduce the Maximum
    Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.6, the minimum required hold
    amounts and the minimum amount of any assignment of a Bank's interest
    in the Loans, the Commitment and the other rights and obligations of
    such Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be
    reduced pro rata.
    
                   10.8.2   Effect of Assignment.  From and after the
    date on which the Administrative Agent notifies the assigning Bank
    that all conditions and requirements of the assignment have been met,
    then to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
    assigned (a) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and shall
    have the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents,
    the Environmental Indemnity and the Co-Lender Agreement, (b) the
    assigning Bank shall relinquish such assigned rights and be released
    from such assigned obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) this
    Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to
    reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of
    the Pro Rata Shares of the Loans arising therefrom, and (d) the Pro
    Rata Share allocated to an Assignee shall reduce the Pro Rata Share of
    the assigning Bank.
    
                   10.8.3   Participations.  Subject to the limitations
    set forth in Section 10.8.1, which apply equally to participations and
    assignments, any Bank (the "originating Bank") may at any time sell to
    one or more Persons that are not Affiliates of the Company (each, a
    "Participant") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment
    and the other interests of such originating Bank hereunder and under
    the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (a) the originating
    Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
    (b) the originating Bank shall remain solely responsible for the
    performance of such obligations, (c) the Company and the
    Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with
    the originating Bank in connection with the originating Bank's rights
    and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
    (d) the Participant shall, together with the originating Bank, be
    entitled to the non-exclusive protections of Sections 3.1 and 3.3 as
    though it were also the originating Bank hereunder, and (e) no Bank
    shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
    Participant has rights to approve any amendment, consent or waiver
    with respect to any Loan Document, except to the extent such
    amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent of the
    Banks.  A Participant shall not have any rights under the Loan
    Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, and all amounts payable by the
    Company hereunder shall be determined as if the originating Bank had
    not sold such participation.
    
                   10.8.4   Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank. 
    Notwithstanding any other provision, a Bank may pledge its interest in
    the Commitment, in the Loans and under the Loan Documents in favor of
    any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Federal law.  
    
                   10.8.5   Confidentiality.  Each Bank agrees to take
    normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain
    the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by
    the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in connection with this
    Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Banks and any of its
    Affiliates shall not use any such information for any purpose or in
    any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this
    Agreement, except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes
    generally available to the public other than as a result of a
    disclosure by such Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a
    non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company (provided
    that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
    Company known to such Bank); provided, however, that such Bank may
    disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any
    requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such Bank is
    subject or in connection with an examination of such Bank by any such
    authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when
    required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable
    Requirement of Law; and (D) to such Bank's independent auditors and
    other professional advisors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
    Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or
    Assignee (each, a "Transferee"), and to any prospective Transferee,
    such financial and other information in such Bank's possession
    concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to
    such Bank pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to
    such Bank by the Company in connection with the Bank's credit
    evaluation of the Company prior to entering into this Agreement;
    provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, such Transferee
    agrees in writing with such Bank to keep such information confidential
    to the same extent required of such Bank hereunder.
    
              10.9 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one
    or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate
    counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an
    original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed
    to constitute but one and the same instrument.
    
              10.10     Severability.  The illegality or
    unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument
    or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair
    the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
    Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
    
              10.11     No Third Parties Benefited.  This Agreement is
    made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the
    Company, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Agent-Related
    Persons, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other
    Person (other than an Indemnified Person under Section 10.5) shall be
    a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or
    indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement
    or any of the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall
    have no obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or
    other Loan Documents.
    
              10.12     Time.  Time is of the essence as to each term or
    provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.
    
              10.13     Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Revolving
    Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
    of the State of California (without regard to conflicts of law rules);
    provided that the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall retain all
    rights arising under federal law.
    
              10.14     Arbitration; Reference.
    
                   (a)  Mandatory Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim
         between or among the parties, including but not limited to those
         arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any agreements
         or instruments relating hereto or delivered in connection
         herewith and any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort,
         shall at the request of any party be determined by arbitration. 
         The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the United
         States Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code), notwithstanding any
         choice of law provision in this Agreement, and under the
         Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association
         ("AAA"). The arbitrator(s) shall give effect to statutes of
         limitation in determining any claim.  Any controversy concerning
         whether an issue is arbitrable shall be determined by the
         arbitrator(s).  Judgment upon the arbitration award may be
         entered in any court having jurisdiction.  The institution and
         maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a
         provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of
         the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the
         controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests
         such action for judicial relief.
    
                   (b)  Real Property Collateral.  Notwithstanding the
         provisions of subparagraph 10.14(a), no controversy or claim
         shall be submitted to arbitration without the consent of all
         parties if, at the time of the proposed submission, such
         controversy or claim arises from or relates to an obligation to
         the Banks which is secured by real property collateral.  If all
         parties do not consent to submission of such a controversy or
         claim to arbitration, the controversy or claim shall be
         determined as provided in subparagraph 10.14(c).
    
                   (c)  Judicial Reference.  At the request of any
         party, a controversy or claim which is not submitted to
         arbitration as provided and limited in subparagraphs 10.14(a)
         and 10.14(b) shall be determined by a reference in accordance
         with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq.  If
         such an election is made, the parties shall designate to the
         court a referee or referees selected under the auspices of
         the AAA in the same manner as arbitrators are selected
         in AAA-sponsored proceedings.  The presiding referee of the
         panel, or the referee if there is a single referee, shall be an
         active attorney or retired judge.  Judgment upon the award
         rendered by such referee or referees shall be entered in the
         court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with
         California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
    
                   (d)  Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. 
         No provision of this Section 10.14 shall limit the right of any
         party to this Agreement to exercise self-help remedies such as
         set-off, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal
         property collateral or security, or obtaining provisional or
         ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction
         before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
         proceeding.  The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right
         of either party to resort to arbitration or reference.  At
         Bank's option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may
         be accomplished either by exercise of a power of sale under the
         deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.
    
              10.15     Notice of Claims; Claims Bar.  THE COMPANY
    HEREBY AGREES THAT IT SHALL GIVE PROMPT WRITTEN NOTICE OF ANY CLAIM OR
    CAUSE OF ACTION IT BELIEVES IT HAS, OR MAY SEEK TO ASSERT OR ALLEGE,
    AGAINST THE BANK, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED IN LAW OR EQUITY,
    ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
    DOCUMENTS, OR TO THE LOANS (OR THE COLLATERAL THEREFOR), OR ANY ACT OR
    OMISSION TO ACT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK WITH RESPECT
    HERETO OR THERETO, AND THAT IF IT SHALL FAIL TO GIVE SUCH PROMPT
    NOTICE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR SUCH BANK WITH REGARD TO ANY
    SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, IT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED, AND
    SHALL BE FOREVER BARRED FROM BRINGING OR ASSERTING, SUCH CLAIM OR
    CAUSE OF ACTION IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT OR
    BEFORE ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.
    
              10.16     Entire Agreement; Amendment and Restatement. 
    This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the
    entire Agreement and understanding among the Company, on the one hand,
    and the Administrative Agent and the Banks, on the other, and
    supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings
    of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter
    hereof and thereof, except for any prior arrangements made with
    respect to the payment by the Company of (or any indemnification for)
    any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred)
    by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks.  This
    Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the Existing
    Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any LIBOR Rate Loan (as
    defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that remains outstanding on
    and after the Closing Date shall continue to be a valid LIBOR Rate
    Loan governed by the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement .
    
              10.17     Interpretation.  This Agreement is the result of
    negotiations between, and has been reviewed by counsel to, the Company
    and the Administrative Agent, and is the product of all parties
    hereto.  Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
    shall not be construed against the Administrative Agent or the Banks
    merely because of their involvement in the preparation of such
    documents and agreements.
    
              10.18     Existing Approved Parcels.  The Administrative
    Agent and each Bank acknowledges that, as of the date of this
    Agreement, each of the Parcels identified on Exhibit F is an Approved
    Parcel having the Appraised Value set forth therein.
    
              IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
    Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly
    authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

    (Capitalized term used in this Revolving Note and not defined herein
    shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.)  Pursuant
    thereto, interest shall accrue on amounts outstanding hereunder from
    time to time:  (a) at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the
    Reference Rate; or (b) at the Company's option, subject to the terms
