economic interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences
and other rights of the additional Partnership Interests issued to the General
Partner in accordance with Section 4.3(a) of the Partnership Agreement;

               NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:

               1.     Definitions.

                      (a) Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise
        defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Partnership
        Agreement.

                      (b) Section 1.1 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby
        amended to add the following defined terms and phrases.

                      "Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Articles
        Supplementary" shall mean those certain Articles Supplementary executed
        by the General Partner and filed with the Department on June 3, 1998,
        and pursuant to which the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
        was issued.

                      "Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest" shall
        mean the interest in the Partnership received by the General Partner in
        exchange for the additional Capital Contribution made by the General
        Partner in connection with the issuance of the Series E Cumulative
        Redeemable Preferred Stock, which Series E Cumulative Redeemable
        Preferred Interest includes the right to receive certain preferential
        distributions and additional rights as set forth in this Agreement.

                      "Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest
        Redemption Distribution" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
        6.2(e) hereof.

                      "Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock" shall
        mean the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (par value
        $.0001 per share) of the General Partner, as described in the Series E
        Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Articles Supplementary.

                      "Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock Share
        Issue Price" shall mean $25.00, which is the per share liquidation
        preference of the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock sold in
        the General Partner's June 4, 1998 sale of such stock.

               2. Agreement to Contribute Proceeds from Issuance of Series E
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Immediately upon receipt by the General
Partner of the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Series E Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock, the General Partner shall contribute to the
Partnership, as an

additional Capital Contribution, the entire amount of such proceeds, net of the
expenses (including, without limitation, any applicable placement fees or
underwriting or other discounts) incurred by the General Partner in connection
with the issuance of the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Upon
the making of such additional Capital Contribution, the General Partner's
Capital Account shall be increased by an amount equal to the number of shares of
Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock issued and sold in the June 4,
1998 sale multiplied by the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock Share
Issue Price.

               3. No Adjustment of Percentage Interests or Standard Percentage.
Notwithstanding the General Partner's making of the additional Capital
Contribution described in Paragraph 2 above, the General Partner shall not be
issued any Additional Units in the Partnership, nor shall the then current
Percentage Interests or Standard Percentage of the Partners be adjusted.

               4. Distributions. Section 6.2(a)(i) of the Partnership Agreement

        Redeemable Preferred Interest, the Series C Cumulative Redeemable

        Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest on a pro rata basis, until the
        total amount of distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to
        this subparagraph (i) equals the total amount of accrued but unpaid
        dividends (if any) on the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B
        Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Series C Cumulative
        Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series
        E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as of the date of such

        Partnership Units, an amount equal to the sum of [1] the WCB Preferred
        Return as to such period plus [2] the accrued but unpaid WCB Preferred
        Return in respect of any prior period and (z) to the Series D Limited
        Partners, on account of the Series D Preferred Units held by such Series
        D Limited Partners, an amount equal to the sum of [1] the Series D
        Preferred Return as to such period plus [2] the accrued but unpaid
        Series D Preferred Return in respect of any prior period;


<PAGE>   4
               5. Redemption Distribution. A new Subsection 6.2(i) is hereby
added to the Partnership Agreement to read as follows:

               (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may, in
        its sole discretion, at any time on or after June 4, 2003, when any
        Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is outstanding, make one
        or more special distributions to itself, alone, on account of the Series
        E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest, for the sole purpose of, and
        in an amount no greater than such amount as will be used by the General
        Partner for, redemption of all or any portion of the outstanding Series
        E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (any such distribution shall be
        referred to as a "Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest
        Redemption Distribution"). There shall be no adjustment of the then
        current Percentage Interests of the Partners on account of any Series E
        Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Interest Redemption Distribution.

               6. Allocations. Exhibit B to the Partnership Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety, and the attached Exhibit B is hereby inserted in the
place thereof.

               7. Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment. This Third Amendment
shall become effective only upon the execution of this Third Amendment by the
General Partner and the filing of the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Articles Supplementary with the Department.

construed in conformity with the laws of the State of California.

1.      Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss.

        (a) Net Income. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Income for any
fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated in the following order
and priority:

               (1) First, to the Partners, until the cumulative Net Income
allocated pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(1) for the current and all prior
periods equals the cumulative Net Loss allocated pursuant to Subparagraphs
1(b)(3) and (4) hereof for all prior periods, among the Partners in the reverse
order that such Net Loss was allocated (and, in the event of a shift of a
Partner's interest in the Partnership, to the Partners in a manner that most
equitably reflects the successors in interest of such Partners);

               (2) Second, to the General Partner, the WCB Limited Partners and
the Series D Limited Partners, until the cumulative Net Income allocated
pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(2) for the current and all prior periods
equals the cumulative Net Loss allocated pursuant to Subparagraph 1(b)(2) hereof
for all prior periods;

(3) Third, in equal priority, (x) to the General Partner until the cumulative
amount of Net Income allocated pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(3),
Subparagraph 1(a)(3) of Exhibit E to the First Restated Agreement as in effect
immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment thereto and Subparagraph 1(c)(1)(iii)
of Exhibit E to the First Restated Agreement as in effect immediately prior to
the Third Amendment thereto equals the total amount of dividends paid on the
Series A Preferred Stock as of or prior to the date of such allocation plus the

made to the WCB

<PAGE>   7
Limited Partners pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of this Agreement and (z) to the
Series D Limited Partners until the cumulative amount of Net Income allocated
pursuant to this Subparagraph 1(a)(3) equals the total amount of distributions
made to the Series D Limited Partners pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of this
Agreement;

               (4) Fourth, to the General Partner on account of the Common B
Interest and the Common C Interest, an amount equal to the sum of (x) $0.0625
per annum multiplied by the number of shares issued and outstanding of Class B
Common Stock, plus (y) $0.05 per annum multiplied by the number of shares issued
and outstanding of Class C Common Stock, prorated on a daily basis over each
calendar year, and adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect any variance in the
number of such shares issued and outstanding from time to time; and

               (5) Thereafter, the balance of the Net Income, if any, shall be
allocated to the Partners holding Standard Partnership Units in accordance with
their respective Standard Percentages.

        (b) Net Loss. Net Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other
applicable period shall be allocated as follows:

               (1) First, to the Partners (other than the WCB Limited Partners
with respect to their WCB Partnership Units and the Series D Limited Partners
with respect to their Series D Preferred Units) in accordance with their
respective Standard Percentages until the Capital Account balances of the
Limited Partners (other than the WCB Limited Partners with respect to their WCB
Partnership Units and the Series D Limited Partners with respect to their Series
D Preferred Units) are reduced to zero (for purpose of this calculation, such
Partners' share of Partnership Minimum Gain shall be added back to their Capital
Accounts);

               (2) Second, to the General Partner, the WCB Limited Partners (to
the extent of their WCB Partnership Units) and the Series D Limited Partners (to
the extent of their Series D Preferred Units), in proportion to their positive
Capital Account balances, until their Capital Account balances have been reduced
to zero (for purpose of this calculation, such Partners' share of Partnership
Minimum Gain shall be added back to their Capital Accounts);

               (3) Thereafter, to the Partners holding Standard Partnership
Units in accordance with their then Standard Percentages; and

               (4) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Subparagraph
1(b), to the extent that any Net Loss allocated to a Partner under Subparagraph
1(b) would cause such Partner (hereinafter, a "Restricted Partner") to have an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the fiscal year to which such
Net Loss relates, such Net Loss shall not be allocated to such Restricted
Partner and instead shall be allocated to the other Partner(s) (hereinafter, the
"Permitted Partners") pro rata in accordance with their relative Percentage
Interests.

        (c) Book-Up and Capital Account Adjustments. On any day on which Series
A Preferred Stock is redeemed or converted into Common Stock or the Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemed, the Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemed, the Series D Preferred Stock is redeemed
or the Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock is redeemed, or any WCB
Partnership Units are converted into Standard Partnership Units, the Partnership
may, in the discretion of the General Partner, adjust the Gross Asset Values of
all Partnership assets to equal their respective gross fair market values and
shall allocate the amount of such adjustment as Net Income or Net Loss pursuant
to Paragraph 1(a) hereof.

2.      Special Allocations.

        Notwithstanding any provisions of Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the
following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

        (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). If there is a net
decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year (except as
a result of conversion or refinancing of Partnership indebtedness, certain
capital contributions or revaluation of the Partnership property as further
outlined in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d)(4), (f)(2) or (f)(3)), each Partner
shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year
(and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share
of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This
Paragraph 2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this Paragraph 2(a) shall be
made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner pursuant hereto.

        (b) Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a
net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any
fiscal year (other than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in
the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly nonrecourse,
certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of Partnership property
as further outlined in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4)), each Partner shall be
specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if
necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner's share of the
net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt. The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This Paragraph 2(b) is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt
contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this Paragraph 2(b) shall be
made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Partner pursuant hereto.

        (c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Limited Partner unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), and such Limited Partner has an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be
specially allocated

<PAGE>   9
to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Paragraph 2(c) is intended
to constitute a "qualified income offset" under Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

        (d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year
or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests.

        (e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for
any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be specially allocated to the
Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt (i.e., the Partner
Nonrecourse Debt) in respect of which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are
attributable (as determined under Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1)).

        (f) Curative Allocations. It is the intent of the Partnership that, to
the extent possible, the Capital Account balances of the Partners be in the
following relationship: (1) first, the Capital Account of the General Partner
should be at least equal to $25.00 multiplied by the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock, Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series E
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and $50.00 multiplied by the number of
issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Capital Accounts
of the WCB Limited Partners should be at least equal to the WCB Partnership Unit
Issue Price multiplied by the number of issued and outstanding WCB Partnership
Units and the Capital Accounts of the Series D Limited Partners should be at
least equal to the Series D Preferred Unit Issue Price multiplied by the number
of issued and outstanding Series D Preferred Units; and (2) second, the Limited
Partners' (other than the WCB Limited Partners with respect to their WCB
Partnership Units and the Series D Limited Partners with respect to their Series
D Preferred Units) Capital Account balances and the General Partner's Capital
Account balance in excess of the product described in clause (1) above should be
in proportion to their Standard Percentages. Thus, items of "book" income, gain,
loss, and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners so that, to the extent
possible, the resulting Partners' Capital Account balances bear this
relationship. This Paragraph 2(f) is intended to minimize to the extent possible
and to the extent necessary any economic distortions which may result from
application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent therewith. For purposes hereof, "Regulatory Allocations" shall mean
the allocations provided under Subparagraph 1(b)(2) and this Paragraph 2 (save
Subparagraphs 2(d) and (f) hereof).

        (g) Merit Plan. To the extent that the Partnership recognizes income or
gain or is entitled to deduction, expense or loss with respect to transfers of
interests pursuant to the Merit Plan, all such items shall be allocated among
the Limited Partners in accordance with the Merit Plan.



<PAGE>   10
3.      Tax Allocations.

        (a) Generally. Subject to Paragraphs 3(b) and (c) below, items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes
(collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Partners on the same
basis as their respective book items.

        (b) Sections 1245/1250 Recapture. If any portion of gain from the sale
of property is treated as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the
application of Code Section 1245 or 1250 ("Affected Gain"), then (A) such
Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that
the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain
were allocated and (B) other Tax Items of gain of the same character that would
have been recognized, but for the application of Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250,
shall be allocated away from those Partners who are allocated Affected Gain
pursuant to Clause (A) so that, to the extent possible, the other Partners are
allocated the same amount, and type, of capital gain that would have been
allocated to them had Code Sections 1245 and/or 1250 not applied; provided,
however, that the net amount of Tax Items allocated to each Partner shall be the
same as if this Paragraph 3(a) did not exist. For purposes hereof, in order to
determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization
deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions
shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income and Net Loss for such
respective period.

        (c) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) and Revaluations. If any
Partnership property is subject to Code Section 704(c) or is reflected in the
Capital Accounts of the Partners and on the books of the Partnership at a book
value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then the tax
items with respect to such property shall, in accordance with the requirements
of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), be shared among the Partners in a
manner that takes account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis of the
applicable property and its book value in the same manner as variations between
the adjusted tax basis and fair market value of property contributed to the
Partnership are taken into account in determining the Partners' share of tax
items under Code Section 704(c). The General Partner is authorized to choose any
reasonable method permitted by the Regulations pursuant to Code Section 704(c),
including the "remedial" method, the "curative" method and the "traditional"
method; provided that the General Partner agrees to use reasonable efforts to
minimize the amount of taxable income in excess of book income allocated to the
holders of the Series D Preferred Units.

        (d) Code Section 752 Specification. Pursuant to Regulations Section
1.752-3, the interest of the Partners holding Standard Partnership Units in
Partnership profits for purposes of determining the Partners' shares of excess
nonrecourse liabilities shall be their Standard Percentages.
