2.1      GRANT OF THE FACILITY
         The Banks grant to the Borrowers, upon the terms and subject to the

         equivalent from time to time in Optional Currencies.

         The Facility is intended for the purpose of financing and refinancing
         indebtedness incurred for the purpose of acquiring and developing land
         or acquiring land tracts for later development and for working capital
         purposes (in any such case, predominantly in Western Europe) and,
         accordingly, each Borrower shall apply all amounts raised by it
         hereunder in or towards satisfaction of such purposes and none of the
         Finance Parties shall be obliged to concern themselves with such
         application.

2.3      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
         Save as the Banks may otherwise agree, none of the Borrowers may
         deliver any Notice of Drawdown unless the Agent has confirmed to the
         Guarantor and the Banks that it has received all of the documents and

         Agent.

2.4      BANKS' OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL
         The obligations of each Bank and the L/C Issuing Bank are several and
         the failure by a Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank to perform its
         obligations hereunder shall not affect the obligations of an Obligor
         towards any other party hereto nor shall any other party be liable for
         the failure by such Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank to perform its
         obligations hereunder.

2.5      BANKS' RIGHTS SEVERAL
         The rights of each Bank are several and any debt arising hereunder at
         any time from an Obligor to any of the other parties hereto shall be a
         separate and independent debt. Each such party shall be entitled to
         protect and enforce its individual rights arising out of this Agreement
         independently of any other party (so that it shall not be necessary for
         any party hereto to be joined as an additional party in any proceedings
         for this purpose).

                  requested, which shall be a period of one, three or six months

3.3      CONDITIONS FOR DRAWING IN AN OPTIONAL CURRENCY
         If a Borrower requests that an Advance or Letter of Credit be
         denominated in an Optional Currency (other than sterling) but:

         3.3.1    no later than 10.00 a.m. on the Quotation Date for such
                  Advance (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit, two Business
                  Days prior to the proposed Utilisation Date), the Agent
                  notifies such Borrower and the Banks that the Agent is of the
                  opinion that it is not feasible for such Advance or Letter of
                  Credit to be denominated in such Optional Currency; or

         3.3.2    to give effect to such request would cause the Outstandings to
                  be denominated in more than 4 Optional Currencies,

         with this Clause 3 and, on the proposed date for the making of such
         Advance or issue of such Letter of Credit:

         3.4.1    (save in relation to a Rollover Advance or a Letter of Credit)

                  but each of the Banks is able to obtain match funding in the
                  relevant interbank market in relation to such Advance;

         3.4.2    the Original Euro Amount of such Advance or Letter of Credit
                  does not exceed the Available Facility and (in the case of a
                  Letter of Credit) EUR 10,000,000 when aggregated with the Euro
                  Amount of all other Outstandings relating to Letters of
                  Credit;

         3.4.3    there would not, immediately after the making of such Advance,
                  be more than 10 Advances outstanding; and

         3.4.4    on and as of the proposed Utilisation Date (i) no Event of
                  Default or (save in relation to a Rollover Advance) Potential
                  Event of Default is continuing and (ii) the Repeated
                  Representations are true in all material respects,

         then, save as otherwise provided herein, such Advance will be made or
         such Letter of Credit will be issued (as the case may be) in accordance
         with this Agreement.

3.5      COMPLETION OF LETTERS OF CREDIT

         The L/C Issuing Bank is authorised to issue any Letter of Credit
         pursuant to Clause 3.2 (Utilisation Conditions) by:

         3.5.1    completing the issue date and the proposed Expiry Date of such
                  Letter of Credit; and

         3.5.2    executing and delivering such Letter of Credit to the relevant
                  recipient on the Utilisation Date.

3.6      RENEWAL OF A LETTER OF CREDIT

         3.6.1    Not less than three Business Days before the Expiry Date of a
                  Letter of Credit,

                                       20
<PAGE>   24

                  the Borrower which requested such Letter of Credit may, by
                  written notice to the Agent, request that the Term of such
                  Letter of Credit be extended.

         3.6.2    The Finance Parties shall treat such request in the same way
                  as a Notice of Drawdown for a Letter of Credit save that the
                  conditions set out in Clause 3.1 (Delivery of Notice of
                  Drawdown) shall not apply.

         3.6.3    The terms of each renewed Letter of Credit shall be the same
                  as those of the relevant Letter of Credit immediately prior to
                  its renewal, save that its Term shall commence on the date
                  which was the Expiry Date of such Letter of Credit immediately
                  prior to its renewal and shall end on the proposed Expiry Date
                  specified in such request.

         3.6.4    The L/C Issuing Bank is authorised to amend any such Letter of
                  Credit pursuant to such request if the conditions set out in
                  this Agreement have been complied with.

3.7      EACH BANK'S PARTICIPATION
         Save as otherwise provided herein, each Bank will participate through
         its Facility Office in each Advance made or Letter of Credit issued
         pursuant to this Clause 3 in the proportion borne by its Available
         Commitment to the Available Facility immediately prior to the making of
         that Advance or the issue of that Letter of Credit.

3.8      RESTRICTIONS ON PARTICIPATION IN LETTERS OF CREDIT

         If at any time prior to the issue of a Letter of Credit any Bank is
         prohibited by law or pursuant to any request from or requirement of any
         central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (being, in
         the case of a request or requirement, a request or requirement of a
         type with which such Bank is accustomed or expected to comply) from
         having any right or obligation under this Agreement in respect of such
         Letter of Credit, such Bank shall notify the Agent on or before the
         Business Day prior to the proposed Utilisation Date and:

         3.8.1    the maximum actual and contingent liabilities of the L/C
                  Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit shall be reduced by
                  an amount equal to what would have been the amount of such
                  Bank's L/C Proportion of such Letter of Credit if such
                  prohibition had not occurred;

         3.8.2    the L/C Proportion of such Bank in relation to such Letter of
                  Credit shall be nil; and

         3.8.3    such Bank's Available Commitment shall be reduced by an amount
                  equal to what would have been the amount of such Bank's L/C
                  Proportion of such Letter of Credit if such prohibition had
                  not occurred.

                                       21
<PAGE>   25

3.9      REDUCTION OF AVAILABLE COMMITMENT

         If a Bank's Commitment is reduced in accordance with the terms hereof
         after the Agent has received the Notice of Drawdown pursuant to this
         Clause 3 or a request for an extension of the Term of a Letter of
         Credit pursuant to Clause 3.6 (Renewal of a Letter of Credit) and such
         reduction was not taken into account in the Available Facility, then
         the amount of that Advance or Letter of Credit shall be reduced
         accordingly.

4.       PAYMENT AND CALCULATION OF INTEREST

4.1      PAYMENT OF INTEREST
         On the Repayment Date relating to each Advance (and, if the Term of
         such Advance exceeds six months, on the expiry of each period of six
         months during such Term) the Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on
         that Advance.

4.2      CALCULATION OF INTEREST
         The rate of interest applicable to an Advance from time to time during
         its Term shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of (i) the
         Applicable Margin at such time, (ii) (in relation to that portion of
         such Advance made available by any Bank whose Facility Office for such
         purpose is situated in England or, as the case may be, a Participating
         Member State) the Mandatory Costs Rate in respect thereof at such time
         and (iii) EURIBOR (or, if the currency in which such Advance is
         denominated is an Optional Currency, LIBOR) on the Quotation Date
         therefor.

5.       LETTER OF CREDIT COMMISSION AND L/C ISSUING BANK FEE

5.1      LETTER OF CREDIT COMMISSION
         Each Borrower which has requested a Letter of Credit shall, in respect
         of each Letter of Credit requested by it, pay to the Agent for the
         account of each Bank (for distribution in proportion to each Bank's L/C
         Proportion of such Letter of Credit) a letter of credit commission in
         the currency in which the relevant Letter of Credit is denominated at
         the L/C Commission Rate (calculated as specified in the remaining
         provisions of this Clause 5.1) on the maximum actual and contingent
         liabilities of the L/C Issuing Bank under the relevant Letter of
         Credit. Such letter of credit commission shall be paid in advance in
         respect of each successive period of three months (or such shorter
         period as shall end on the relevant Expiry Date) which begins during
         the Term of the relevant Letter of Credit, the first such payment to be
         made on the Utilisation Date for such Letter of Credit and thereafter
         on the first day of each such period and to be calculated on the basis
         of the L/C Commission Rate prevailing on the relevant Utilisation Date
         or, as the case may be, the first day of such period. If, during any
         such period (a "RELEVANT PERIOD") in respect of which any such payment
         has been made, the L/C Commission Rate increases or decreases then:

         5.1.1    (in the case of an increase in the L/C Commission Rate) the
                  relevant Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of
                  each Bank (for distribution in

                                       22
<PAGE>   26

                  proportion to each Bank's L/C Proportion of the relevant
                  Letter of Credit) additional letter of credit commission (in
                  the currency in which the relevant Letter of Credit is
                  denominated and on the maximum actual and contingent
                  liabilities of the L/C Issuing Bank thereunder), such
                  additional letter of credit commission to be calculated on the
                  basis of the percentage rate per annum equal to the difference
                  between the L/C Commission Rate immediately prior to such
                  increase and the L/C Commission Rate immediately after such
                  increase and to be payable in respect of the remainder of the
                  relevant period after such increase; and

         5.1.2    (in the case of a decrease in the L/C Commission Rate) each
                  Bank (in proportion to its L/C Proportion of the relevant
                  Letter of Credit) shall rebate to the relevant Borrower
                  through the Agent a portion of the commitment commission
                  previously paid in respect of the relevant period, such rebate
                  to be paid in the currency in which the relevant Letter of
                  Credit is denominated and in respect of the remainder of the
                  relevant period after such decrease and to be calculated on
                  the basis of the maximum actual and contingent liabilities of
                  the L/C Issuing Bank under the relevant Letter of Credit and
                  the percentage rate per annum equal to the difference between
                  the L/C Commission Rate immediately prior to such decrease and
                  the L/C Commission Rate immediately after such decrease.

         Any such additional letter of credit commission or rebate shall be paid
         by the relevant Borrower or, as the case may be, the Banks on the last
         day of the relevant period.

5.2      L/C ISSUING BANK FEE
         Each Borrower which has requested a Letter of Credit shall, in respect
         of each Letter of Credit, pay to the L/C Issuing Bank a fee in euro in
         the amounts and at the times agreed between such L/C Issuing Bank and
         such Borrower.

5.3      CANCELLATION REBATES
         If a Letter of Credit is prematurely cancelled or returned to the L/C
         Issuing Bank and:

         5.3.1    the L/C Issuing Bank is satisfied that as of the relevant date
                  of cancellation or return (the "CANCELLATION/RETURN DATE") the
                  L/C Issuing Bank has no further actual or contingent
                  liabilities in respect of such Letter of Credit;

         5.3.2    letter of credit commitment commission has previously been
                  paid by the relevant Borrower pursuant to Clause 5.1 (Letter
                  of Credit Commission) in respect of such Letter of Credit and
                  in respect of the period after the relevant
                  Cancellation/Return Date; and

         5.3.3    the relevant Cancellation/Return Date falls during the first
                  or the second month after the date (the "PAYMENT DATE") on
                  which letter of credit commission was most recently paid in
                  relation to the relevant Letter of Credit pursuant to Clause
                  5.1 (Letter of Credit Commission),

                                       23
<PAGE>   27

         then the L/C Issuing Bank shall (through the Agent) notify each Bank
         accordingly and each Bank shall (in proportion to its L/C Proportion of
         the relevant Letter of Credit and on the tenth Business Day after the
         relevant Cancellation/Return Date) rebate to the relevant Borrower in
         the currency in which the relevant Letter of Credit is denominated the
         letter of credit commission previously paid in respect of such Letter
         of Credit which relates to the period after the last day of (a) the
         first month after the relevant Payment Date (if the relevant
         Cancellation/Return Date falls during the first month after the
         Relevant Payment Date) or (b) the second month after the relevant
         Payment Date (if the relevant Cancellation/Return Date falls during the
         second month after the relevant Payment Date). No rebate shall be
         required to be made by any Bank pursuant to this Clause 5.3 in any
         other circumstances.

6.       MARKET DISRUPTION AND ALTERNATIVE INTEREST RATES

6.1      MARKET DISRUPTION
         If, in relation to any Advance or Unpaid Sum:

         6.1.1    EURIBOR (or, as the case may be, LIBOR) is to be determined by
                  reference to Reference Banks and at or about 11.00 a.m. on the
                  Quotation Date for the relevant Term none or only one of the
                  Reference Banks supplies a rate for the purpose of determining
                  EURIBOR (or, as the case may be, LIBOR) for the relevant Term;
                  or

         6.1.2    before the close of business in Brussels (or, as the case may
                  be, London) on the Quotation Date for such Advance or Unpaid
                  Sum the Agent has been notified by a Bank or each of a group
                  of Banks to whom in aggregate thirty-five per cent. or more of
                  such Advance if made would be owed (or such Unpaid Sum is
                  owed) that the EURIBOR (or, as the case may be, LIBOR) rate
                  does not accurately reflect the cost of funding its
                  participation in such Advance or Unpaid Sum,

         then the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties hereto in
         writing of such event and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
         this Agreement, Clause 6.2 (Substitute Term and Interest Rate) shall
         apply to such Advance or Unpaid Sum. If sub-clauses 6.1.1 or 6.1.2
         applies to a proposed Advance, such Advance (other than a Rollover
         Advance) shall not be made if any Bank is unable to obtain match
         funding in the relevant interbank market in relation to such Advance.

6.2      SUBSTITUTE TERM AND INTEREST RATE
         If sub-clause 6.1.1 of Clause 6.1 (Market Disruption) applies to a
         Rollover Advance or an Advance which is not prevented from being made
         by the operation of Clause 6.1, the duration of the relevant Term shall
         be one month or, if less, such that it shall end on the Final Maturity
         Date (or, if the Banks have granted an extension to the Facility
         pursuant to

                                       24
<PAGE>   28

         Clause 10.8 (Extension), the Extended Maturity Date). If either
         sub-clause 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 of Clause 6.1 (Market Disruption) applies to
         a Rollover Advance, an Advance which is not prevented from being made
         by the operation of Clause 6.1 or an Unpaid Sum, the rate of interest
         applicable to such Rollover Advance, Advance or Unpaid Sum during the
         relevant Term shall (subject to any agreement reached pursuant to
         Clause 6.3 (Alternative Rate)) be the rate per annum which is the sum
         of:

         6.2.1    the Applicable Margin at such time;

         6.2.2    (in relation to a portion of an Advance which has been
                  provided by a Bank whose Facility Office for such purpose is
                  situated in England, or as the case may be, a Participating
                  Member State) the Mandatory Costs Rate in respect thereof at
                  such time; and

         6.2.3    the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the
                  arithmetic mean (rounded upwards to four decimal places) of
                  the rates notified by each Bank to the Agent before the last
                  day of such Term to be those which express as a percentage
                  rate per annum the cost to each Bank of funding from whatever
                  sources it may reasonably select its portion of such Rollover
                  Advance, Advance or Unpaid Sum during such Term.

6.3      ALTERNATIVE RATE
         If (a) either of those events mentioned in sub-clauses 6.1.1 and 6.1.2
         of Clause 6.1 (Market Disruption) occurs in relation to an Advance or
         Unpaid Sum or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting the European
         Interbank Market (or, in the case of any Advances denominated in an
         Optional Currency, the London Interbank Market) during any period of
         three consecutive Business Days, EURIBOR (or, as the case may be,
         LIBOR) is not available for euro to prime banks in the European
         Interbank Market (or, in the case of any Advances denominated in an
         Optional Currency, the London Interbank Market), then if the Agent or
         the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into
         negotiations with a view to agreeing a substitute basis (i) for
         determining the rates of interest from time to time applicable to the
         Advances and Unpaid Sums and/or (ii) upon which the Advances and Unpaid
         Sums may be maintained (whether in euro or some other currency)
         thereafter and any such substitute basis that is agreed shall take
         effect in accordance with its terms and be binding on each party
         hereto, PROVIDED THAT the Agent may not agree any such substitute basis
         without the prior consent of each Bank.

7.       NOTIFICATION

7.1      ADVANCES AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
         Not less than three Business Days before an Advance is to be made or a
         Letter of Credit is to be issued, the Agent shall notify each Bank of
         the proposed Euro Amount of the relevant Advance or Letter of Credit,
         its proposed Term, whether or not such Advance or Letter of Credit is
         to be denominated in an Optional Currency (and, if so, the amount of
         such

                                       25
<PAGE>   29

         Advance or Letter of Credit in the relevant Optional Currency) and the
         aggregate principal amount of the relevant Advance or Letter of Credit
         allocated to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement and, in relation to a
         Letter of Credit, the name of the proposed beneficiary.

7.2      INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION
         The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Banks of
         each determination of LIBOR or, as the case may be, EURIBOR, the
         Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Costs Rate.

7.3      DEMANDS UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT
         If a demand is made under a Letter of Credit or the L/C Issuing Bank
         incurs in connection with a Letter of Credit any other liability, cost,
         claim, loss or expense which is to be reimbursed pursuant to this
         Agreement, the L/C Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the
         amount of such demand or such liability, cost, claim, loss or expense
         and the Letter of Credit to which it relates and the Agent shall
         promptly make demand upon the Borrowers in accordance with this
         Agreement and notify the Banks.

7.4      CHANGES TO CURRENCY OR INTEREST RATES
         The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower and the Banks of
         any change (a) to the proposed currency of an Advance occasioned by the
         operation of Clause 3.3 (Conditions for Drawing in an Optional
         Currency) or (b) in interest rate or Term occasioned by the operation
         of Clause 6 (Market Disruption and Alternative Interest Rates).

8.       REPAYMENT AND MANDATORY PREPAYMENT

8.1      REPAYMENT
         Each Borrower shall repay each Advance made to it in full on the
         Repayment Date relating thereto. Any Advance repaid before the Final
         Maturity Date shall remain available for drawing on the terms of
         conditions of this Agreement.

8.2      MANDATORY PREPAYMENT

         8.2.1    If, at any time, an Obligor receives notice that any two of
                  the three Ratings of the Guarantor set out below (or, if only
                  two Ratings are available, either such Rating) has fallen
                  below the grade indicated alongside it:

                  (a)     S&P                   BBB-

                  (b)     Moody's    Baa3

                  (c)     D&P                   BBB-

                  upon which the last of the relevant

                  outstanding Advances together with accrued interest thereon
                  and all other amounts owing to the Finance Parties under the
                  Facility Documents and provide Cash Collateral for each Letter
                  of Credit in an amount specified by the Agent (such amount not
                  to exceed the maximum actual and contingent liability of the
                  L/C Issuing Bank in relation to such Letter of Credit) and in
                  the currency of each such Letter of Credit. Each Obligor shall
                  promptly notify the Agent of any announcement made by any such
                  rating agency of a change in Rating by it.

         8.2.2    If there is a Change of Control of the Guarantor, the
                  Borrowers shall, upon the written request of the Agent (acting
                  on the instructions of one or more Banks) received by the
                  Guarantor no later than 30 days after the occurrence of such
                  Change of Control, prepay such amount of the Advances as is
                  owed to the Bank or Banks so instructing the Agent to request
                  prepayment, together with accrued interest thereon and all
                  other amounts owing to such Bank or Banks under the Facility
                  Documents and provide Cash Collateral for each such Bank's
                  portion of each Letter of Credit in an amount specified by the
                  Agent (such amount not to exceed a proportion of the maximum
                  actual and contingent liability of the L/C Issuing Bank in
                  relation to such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank's L/C
                  Proportion in relation to such Letter of Credit) and in the
                  currency of each such Letter of Credit, in each case by no
                  later then 120 days after the occurrence of such Change of
                  Control (but without prejudice, for the avoidance of doubt, to
                  the rights of the Agent and the Banks if an Event of Default
                  occurs during such 120 day period). The Guarantor shall
                  promptly notify the Agent in the event that there is a Change
                  of Control of the Guarantor.

         Each Borrower which has requested a Letter of Credit shall irrevocably

                  of Credit), claims, losses and expenses which the L/C Issuing

         9.2.1    any sum paid or due and payable by such Bank (whether under
                  Clause 31.1 (Banks' Indemnity) or otherwise) in connection
                  with such Letter of Credit; and

9.3      PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS
         Neither the obligations of the Borrowers set out in this Clause 9 nor
         the rights, powers and remedies conferred on the L/C Issuing Bank or
         any Bank by this Agreement or by law shall be discharged, impaired or
         otherwise affected by:

         9.3.1    the winding-up, dissolution, administration or re-organisation
                  of the L/C Issuing Bank, any Bank or any other person or any

         9.3.2    any of the obligations of the L/C Issuing Bank, any Bank or
                  any other person hereunder or under any Letter of Credit or
                  under any other security taken in respect of any Obligor's
                  obligations hereunder or otherwise in connection with a Letter
                  of Credit being or becoming illegal, invalid, unenforceable or
                  ineffective in any respect;

         9.3.3    time or other indulgence being granted or agreed to be granted
                  to the L/C Issuing Bank, any Bank or any other person in
                  respect of its obligations hereunder or under or in connection
                  with a Letter of Credit or under any such other security;

         9.3.4    any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any
                  obligation of the L/C Issuing Bank, any Bank or any other
                  person under a Letter of Credit or this Agreement;

         9.3.5    any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause 9,
                  might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect any of

                  Clause 9 or any of the rights, powers or remedies conferred
                  upon the L/C Issuing Bank or any Bank by this Agreement or by
                  law.

         The obligations of each Borrower set out in this Clause 9 shall be in
         addition to and independent of every other security which the L/C
         Issuing Bank or any Bank may at any time hold in respect of such
         Obligor's obligations hereunder.

                                       28
<PAGE>   32

9.4      SETTLEMENT CONDITIONAL
         Any settlement or discharge between a Borrower and the L/C Issuing Bank
         or any Bank shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the L/C
         Issuing Bank or such Bank by such Borrower, or any other person on
         behalf of such Borrower, being avoided or reduced by virtue of any laws
         relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of
         general application and, if any such security or payment is so avoided
         or reduced, the L/C Issuing Bank or such Bank shall be entitled to
         recover the value or amount of such security or payment from such
         Borrower subsequently as if such settlement or discharge had not
         occurred.

9.5      RIGHT TO MAKE PAYMENTS UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT
         The L/C Issuing Bank shall (without prejudice to the obligations of the
         Obligors hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit) notify the
         relevant Borrower as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of any
         demand under a Letter of Credit and shall be entitled to make any
         payment in accordance with the terms of the relevant Letter of Credit
         without any reference to or further authority from the relevant
         Borrower or any other investigation or enquiry. Each Borrower
         irrevocably authorises the L/C Issuing Bank to comply with any demand
         under a Letter of Credit which is valid on its face.

10.      CANCELLATION, VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT AND EXTENSION

10.1     CANCELLATION
         The Guarantor may, by giving to the Agent not less than five Business
         Days' prior written notice to that effect, cancel the whole or any part
         (being a minimum amount of EUR 5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
         EUR 1,000,000) of the Available Facility. Any such cancellation shall
         reduce the Available Commitment and Commitment of each Bank rateably.

10.2     VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT
         Subject to Clause 24.4 (Break Costs) a Borrower may, by giving to the
         Agent not less than five Business Days prior written notice to that
         effect, prepay the whole or any part of an Advance (being an amount
         such that the Euro Amount of such Advance will be reduced by a minimum
         amount of EUR 5,000,000 (or, if less, the amount of the Advance) and
         integral multiple of EUR 1,000,000).

10.3     CANCELLATION OF LETTERS OF CREDIT
         Any Borrower which has requested a Letter of Credit may give the Agent
         not less than five Business Days' prior notice of its intention to
         procure that the relevant L/C Issuing Bank's liability under such
         Letter of Credit is reduced to zero (whereupon it shall do so).

10.4     NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OR VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT
         Any notice of cancellation or prepayment given by the Guarantor
         pursuant to Clause 10.1 (Cancellation) or by a Borrower pursuant to
         Clause 10.2 (Voluntary Prepayment) or 10.3

                                       29
<PAGE>   33

         (Cancellation of Letters of Credit) shall be irrevocable and shall
         specify the date upon which such cancellation or prepayment is to be
         made and the amount of such cancellation or prepayment.

10.5     CANCELLATION OF A BANK'S COMMITMENT
         If:

         10.5.1   any sum payable to any Bank by an Obligor is required to be
                  increased pursuant to Clause 11.1 (Tax Gross-up); or

         10.5.2   any Bank claims indemnification from an Obligor under Clause
                  11.2 (Tax Indemnity) or Clause 13.1 (Increased Costs),

         the Guarantor may, whilst such circumstance continues, by not less than
         ten Business Days' prior notice to the Agent (which notice shall be
         irrevocable), cancel such Bank's Commitment whereupon such Bank shall
         cease to be obliged to participate in further Advances and its
         Commitment shall be reduced to zero.

10.6     PREPAYMENT OF A BANK'S COMMITMENT
         If the Guarantor gives notice pursuant to Clause 10.5 (Cancellation of
         a Bank's Commitment), each Borrower shall, at the time such notice
         expires and subject to Clause 24.4 (Break Costs), prepay the relevant
         Bank's portion of all outstanding Advances together with accrued
         interest thereon and all other amounts owing to such Bank hereunder and
         provide Cash Collateral for such Bank's portion of each Letter of
         Credit in an amount specified by the Agent (such amount not to exceed a
         proportion of the maximum actual and contingent liability of the L/C
         Issuing Bank in relation to such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank's
         L/C Proportion in relation to such Letter of Credit) and in the
         currency of each such Letter of Credit.

10.7     NO OTHER REPAYMENTS
         None of the Borrowers shall repay or cancel all or any part of the
         Outstandings except at the times and in the manner expressly provided
         herein.

10.8     EXTENSION
         The Guarantor may request an extension of the Facility for one period
         of twelve months, such period to commence on the Final Maturity Date
         and to end on the Extended Maturity Date in accordance with the
         procedure set out below.

         10.8.1   The Guarantor shall no later than 60 days prior to the Final
                  Maturity Date request by notice in writing to the Agent that
                  the Facility be extended to the Extended Maturity Date.

         10.8.2   The Agent shall, forthwith upon receipt of a request made
                  pursuant to sub-clause 10.8.1 above, advise each of the Banks
                  of such a request, and each of the Banks shall, no later than
                  25 Business Days prior to the Final Maturity

                                       30
<PAGE>   34

                  Date, notify the Agent in writing that either (i) it approves
                  of the extension of the Facility to the Extended Maturity Date
                  or (ii) it does not approve of such extension. Any Bank which
                  fails to notify the Agent of its approval or otherwise of the
                  extension of the Facility as aforesaid shall be deemed not to
                  approve of such extension. The Agent shall notify the
                  Guarantor of each Bank's decision no later than 20 Business
                  Days prior to the Final Maturity Date.

         10.8.3   Nothing contained in this Clause 10.8 shall oblige a Bank to
                  approve of an extension of the Facility to the Extended
                  Maturity Date. In considering whether or not to approve of
                  such an extension, each Bank shall make its own independent
                  appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its own
                  independent investigation and assessment into the financial
                  condition and affairs of each Obligor.

         10.8.4   If any Bank does not approve or is deemed not to approve of
                  the extension of the Facility then, on the Final Maturity
                  Date, the Borrowers shall repay to such Bank such Bank's
                  portion of the outstanding Advances together with all other
                  amounts then owing by the Borrowers to such Bank and provide
                  Cash Collateral for such Bank's portion of each Letter of
                  Credit in an amount specified by the Agent (such amount not to
                  exceed a proportion of the maximum actual and contingent
                  liability of the L/C Issuing Bank in relation to such Letter
                  of Credit equal to such Bank's L/C Proportion in relation to
                  such Letter of Credit) and in the currency of each such Letter
                  of Credit.

         10.8.5   If any Bank does not approve or is deemed not to approve of
                  the extension of the Facility to the Extended Maturity Date
                  then the Agent shall promptly notify the other Banks thereof.

         10.8.6   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause 10.8, if a
                  Bank or group of Banks to whom in aggregate more than fifty
                  per cent of the Outstandings is owed does not approve of an
                  extension to the Final Maturity Date then the extension shall
                  not be made and the Borrowers shall repay all amounts
                  outstanding under the Facility Documents on or prior to the
                  Final Maturity Date in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.      TAXES

11.1     TAX GROSS-UP
         All payments to be made by an Obligor to any Finance Party hereunder
         shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account
         of tax unless such Obligor is required to make such a payment subject
         to the deduction or withholding of tax, in which case the sum payable
         by such Obligor (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is
         required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to
         ensure that such Finance Party

                                       31
<PAGE>   35

         receives a sum net of any deduction or withholding equal to the sum
         which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been
         made or required to be made.

11.2     TAX INDEMNITY
         Without prejudice to Clause 11.1 (Tax Gross-up), if any Finance Party
         is required to make any payment of or on account of tax on or in
         relation to any sum received or receivable hereunder (including any sum
         deemed for purposes of tax to be received or receivable by such Finance
         Party whether or not actually received or receivable) or if any
         liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied
         or assessed against any Finance Party, the Borrowers shall, within 7
         Business Days of written demand of the Agent, indemnify the Finance
         Party which suffers a loss or liability as a result against such
         payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties, and
         out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable or incurred in connection
         therewith (unless such interest, penalties, costs or expenses arose due
         to the acts or default of the Finance Party not complying with any tax
         notice or assessment in a timely manner), PROVIDED THAT this Clause
         11.2 shall not apply to:

         11.2.1   any tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net
                  income actually received or receivable as net income by such
                  Finance Party (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including
                  any sum deemed for purposes of tax to be received or
                  receivable by such Finance Party but not actually receivable)
                  by the jurisdiction in which such Finance Party is
                  incorporated; or

         11.2.2   any tax imposed on and calculated by reference to the net
                  income of the Facility Office of such Finance Party actually
                  received or receivable by such Finance Party (but, for the
                  avoidance of doubt, not including any sum deemed for purposes
                  of tax to be received or receivable as net income by such
                  Finance Party but not actually receivable) by the jurisdiction
                  in which its Facility Office is located.

11.3     BANKS' TAX STATUS CONFIRMATION
         Each Bank confirms in favour of the Agent and each Borrower (on the
         date hereof or, in the case of a Bank which becomes a party hereto
         pursuant to a transfer or assignment, on the date on which the relevant
         transfer or assignment becomes effective) that it is Qualifying Lender
         and each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and each Borrower if
         there is any change in its position from that set out above.

11.4     CLAIMS BY BANKS
         Any Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 11.2
         (Tax Indemnity) shall promptly notify the Agent of the event giving
         rise to the claim, whereupon the Agent shall notify the relevant
         Obligor thereof in writing.

11.5     EXCEPTIONS TO TAX GROSS-UP AND TAX INDEMNITY

         11.5.1   Each Finance Party will promptly on request by a Borrower take
                  all reasonable

                                       32
<PAGE>   36

                  steps (if any) required to be taken to establish entitlement
                  to exemption for any Borrower from withholding under any
                  applicable double tax treaty, including satisfying any
                  reasonable information, reporting or other requirement and
                  completion and filing of relevant forms, claims, declarations
                  and similar documents and shall provide the relevant Borrower
                  with copies of all forms, claims, declarations and similar
                  documents filed for such purpose.

         11.5.2   No additional amounts shall be payable to a Bank or the Agent
                  under Clause 11.1 (Tax Gross-up) or 11.2 (Tax Indemnity) in
                  respect of any payment from a Borrower if the Bank or Agent to
                  whom the relevant payment is to be made has failed (otherwise
                  than due to circumstances beyond its control) to comply with
                  its obligations under Clause 11.5.1 (unless such failure
                  results from the failure of a Borrower to comply with its
                  obligations under the relevant treaty).

         11.5.3   If a Bank ceases to be a Qualifying Lender (except as a result
                  of the introduction of, change in, or change in the
                  interpretation or application of any law occurring after the
                  date of this Agreement), then no Obligor shall be liable to
                  pay any amount under Clauses 11.1 or 11.2 in excess of the
                  amount which it would have been obliged to pay if that Bank
                  had remained a Qualifying Lender.

         If, at any time, an Obligor is required by law to make any deduction or
         withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder (or if thereafter
         there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such
         deductions or withholdings are calculated), such Obligor shall promptly
         notify the Agent.

12.2     EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT OF TAX
         If an Obligor makes any payment hereunder in respect of which it is
         required to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full
         amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or
         other authority within the time allowed for such payment under
         applicable law and shall deliver to the Agent for each Bank, within
         thirty days after it has made such payment to the applicable authority,
         an original receipt (or a certified copy thereof) issued by such
         authority evidencing the payment to such authority of all amounts so
         required to be deducted or withheld in respect of that Bank's share of
         such payment.

12.3     TAX CREDIT PAYMENT
         If an additional payment is made under Clause 11 (Taxes) by an Obligor
         for the benefit of any Finance Party and such Finance Party, in its
         sole discretion, determines that it has obtained (and has derived full
         use and benefit from) a credit against, a relief or remission for, or
         repayment of, any tax, then, if and to the extent that such Finance
         Party, in its sole opinion, determines that:

                                       33
<PAGE>   37

         12.3.1   such credit, relief, remission or repayment is in respect of
                  or calculated with reference to the additional payment made
                  pursuant to Clause 11 (Taxes); and

         12.3.2   its tax affairs for its tax year in respect of which such
                  credit, relief, remission or repayment was obtained have been
                  finally settled,

         such Finance Party shall, to the extent that it can do so without
         prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief,
         remission or repayment, pay to such Obligor such amount as such Finance
         Party shall, in its sole opinion, determine to be the amount which will
         leave such Finance Party (after such payment) in no worse after-tax
         position than it would have been in had the additional payment in
         question not been required to be made by such Obligor.

12.4     TAX CREDIT CLAWBACK
         If any Finance Party makes any payment to an Obligor pursuant to Clause
         12.3 (Tax Credit Payment) and such Finance Party subsequently
         determines, in its sole opinion, that the credit, relief, remission or
         repayment in respect of which such payment was made was not available
         or has been withdrawn or that it was unable to use such credit, relief,
         remission or repayment in full, such Obligor shall reimburse such
         Finance Party such amount as such Finance Party determines, in its sole
         opinion, is necessary to place it in the same after-tax position as it
         would have been in if such credit, relief, remission or repayment had
         been obtained and fully used and retained by such Finance Party.

12.5     TAX AND OTHER AFFAIRS
         No provision of this Agreement shall interfere with the right of any
         Finance Party to arrange its tax or any other affairs in whatever
         manner it thinks fit, oblige any Finance Party to claim any credit,
         relief, remission or repayment in respect of any payment under Clause
         11.1 (Tax Gross-up) in priority to any other credit, relief, remission
         or repayment available to it nor oblige any Finance Party to disclose
         any information relating to its tax or other affairs or any
         computations in respect thereof.

13.      INCREASED COSTS

13.1     INCREASED COSTS
         If, by reason of (a) any change in law or in its interpretation or
         administration and/or (b) compliance with any request or requirement
         relating to the maintenance of capital or any other request from or
         requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other
         authority (any such change in law, or in its interpretation or
         administration, and any such request or requirement, an "INCREASED COST
         TRIGGER EVENT"):

         13.1.1   a Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank or any holding company of such
                  Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank is unable to obtain the rate of
                  return on its capital which it would have been able to obtain
                  but for such Bank's or the L/C Issuing Bank's

                                       34
<PAGE>   38

                  entering into or assuming or maintaining a commitment, issuing
                  or performing its obligations under the Facility Documents or
                  any Letter of Credit;

         13.1.2   a Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank or any holding company of such
                  Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank incurs a cost as a result of such
                  Bank's or the L/C Issuing Bank's entering into or assuming or
                  maintaining a commitment, issuing or performing its
                  obligations under the Facility Documents or any Letter of
                  Credit; or

         13.1.3   there is any increase in the cost to a Bank or the L/C Issuing
                  Bank or any holding company of such Bank or the L/C Issuing
                  Bank of funding or maintaining such Bank's or the L/C Issuing
                  Bank's share of the Advances or, any Unpaid Sum or any Letter
                  of Credit,

         then the Borrowers shall, from time to time within 7 Business Days of
         written demand of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that
         Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank amounts sufficient to indemnify that Bank
         or the L/C Issuing Bank or to enable that Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank
         to indemnify its holding company from and against, as the case may be,
         (i) such reduction in the rate of return of capital, (ii) such cost or
         (iii) such increased cost.

13.2     INCREASED COSTS CLAIMS
         A Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank intending to make a claim pursuant to
         Clause 13.1 (Increased Costs) shall notify the Agent of the claim and
         give reasonable details of the circumstances and event giving rise to
         such claim and of its calculation of the amount claimed, whereupon the
         Agent shall notify the Borrowers thereof in writing providing such
         details of the claim PROVIDED THAT nothing in this Clause shall oblige
         any Bank to disclose any information which it considers, acting
         reasonably to be confidential.

13.3     EXCLUSIONS TO INCREASED COSTS
         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Clause 13, no Bank or
         L/C Issuing Bank shall be entitled to make any claim under this Clause
         13 in respect of:

         13.3.1   any cost, increased cost or liability as referred to in Clause
                  13.1 (Increased Costs) to the extent the same is compensated
                  by the Mandatory Costs Rate; or

         13.3.2   any cost, increased cost or liability compensated by Clause 11
                  (Taxes); or

         13.3.3   any cost, increased cost or liability resulting from any
                  Increased Cost Trigger Event except where such Bank or, as the
                  case may be, the L/C Issuing Bank can demonstrate that such
                  Increased Cost Trigger Event occurs, or is made or imposed,
                  after the date of this Agreement;

         13.3.4   any cost, increased cost or liability resulting from a failure
                  by a Bank to comply with any requests from or requirement of
                  any central bank or fiscal or monetary authority (whether or
                  not having force

                                       35
<PAGE>   39

                  of law, but if not having force of law being a request of a
                  nature with which banks generally are accustomed or expected
                  to comply); or

         13.3.5   any cost, increased cost or liability arising more than 90
                  days prior to the receipt by the Borrowers of a written notice
                  under Clause 13.2 (Increased Costs Claims).

14.      ILLEGALITY

         If, at any time, it is or will become unlawful for a Bank or the L/C
         Issuing Bank to make, fund, issue, participate in or allow to remain
         outstanding all or part of its share of the Advances or Letters of
         Credit, then that Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank shall, promptly after
         becoming aware of the same, deliver to the Guarantor through the Agent
         a written notice to that effect and:

         14.1.1   such Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be
                  obliged to participate in any Advance or Letter of Credit (or,
                  in the case of the L/C Issuing Bank, to issue any Letter of
                  Credit) and the amount of its Commitment shall be immediately
                  reduced to zero; and

         14.1.2   if the Agent on behalf of such Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank so
                  requires, the Guarantor shall on such date as the Agent shall
                  have specified in order to comply with the relevant law:

                  (a)      repay such Bank's share of any outstanding Advances
                           together with accrued interest thereon and all other
                           amounts owing to such Bank hereunder; and

                  (b)      provide Cash Collateral for such Bank's portion of
                           each Letter of Credit in an amount specified by the
                           Agent (such amount not to exceed a proportion of the
                           maximum actual and contingent liability of the L/C
                           Issuing Bank in relation to such Letter of Credit
                           equal to such Bank's L/C Proportion in relation to
                           such Letter of Credit) and in the currency of such
                           Letter of Credit.

15.      MITIGATION

         If, in respect of any Bank, circumstances arise which would or would
         upon the giving of notice result in:

         15.1.1   an increase in any sum payable to it or for its account
                  pursuant to Clause 11.1 Tax Gross-up);

         15.1.2   a claim for indemnification pursuant to Clause 11.2 (Tax
                  Indemnity) or Clause 13.1 (Increased Costs); or

                                       36
<PAGE>   40

         15.1.3   the reduction of its Available Commitment to zero or any
                  repayment to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to Clause 14
                  (Illegality),

         then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the
         rights of such Bank or the obligations of the Obligors under any of the
         Clauses referred to in sub-clauses 15.1.1, 15.1.2 and 15.1.3 such Bank
         shall promptly upon becoming aware of such circumstances notify the
         Agent thereof and, in consultation with the Agent and the Guarantor and
         to the extent that it can do so lawfully and without prejudice to its
         own position, take reasonable steps (including a change of location of
         its Facility Office or the transfer of its rights, benefits and
         obligations hereunder to another financial institution acceptable to
         the Guarantor and willing to participate in the Facility) to mitigate
         the effects of such circumstances, PROVIDED THAT such Bank shall be
         under no obligation to take any such action if, in the opinion of such
         Bank, to do so might have an adverse effect upon its business,
         operations or financial condition (other than any minor costs and
         expenses of an administrative nature).

16.      REPRESENTATIONS

         Each Obligor makes the representations and warranties set out in Clause
         16.1 (Status) to Clause 16.29 (No Event of Default) (with respect to
         itself) and acknowledges that the Finance Parties have entered into the
         Facility Documents in reliance on those representations and warranties.

16.1     STATUS
         It is a corporation (or, in the case of the Guarantor, a Maryland real
         estate investment) duly organised, validly existing and (to the extent
         such concept is recognised) in good standing under the laws of its
         Relevant Jurisdiction.

16.2     GOVERNING LAW AND JUDGMENTS
         In any proceedings taken in its Relevant Jurisdiction in relation to
         the Facility Documents, the choice of English law as the governing law
         of the Facility Documents and any judgment obtained in England will be
         recognised and enforced.

16.3     BINDING OBLIGATIONS
         Subject to the legal (but not factual) qualifications contained in the
         legal opinions delivered pursuant to Clause 2.3 (Conditions Precedent),
         the obligations expressed to be assumed by it in the Facility Documents
         to which it is a party are legal and valid obligations binding on it
         and enforceable against it in accordance with the terms thereof,
         subject to general principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency or
         other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and,
         in the case of the Guarantor, applicable United States Debtor Relief
         Laws including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy Code.

16.4     EXECUTION OF FACILITY DOCUMENTS
         Its execution of the Facility Documents to which it is a party and its
         exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations hereunder do
         not and will not:

         16.4.1   conflict with any agreement, mortgage, bond or other
                  instrument or treaty to which it is a party or which is
                  binding upon it or any of its assets;

         16.4.2   conflict with its constitutive documents (and, in the case of
                  the Guarantor, its declaration of trust); or

         16.4.3   conflict with any applicable law (including, in the case of
                  the Guarantor, any applicable trust law),

         except, in any such case, where violation of any of the foregoing could
         not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

         It has the power (including, in the case of the Guarantor, trust power)
         to enter into the Facility Documents to which it is a party and all
         corporate, trust and other action required to authorise the execution
         by it thereof and the performance of its obligations thereunder has
         been duly taken.

16.5     NO WINDING-UP
         No member of the Group nor any Unconsolidated Affiliate (the total
         assets of which, when aggregated with the total assets of any other
         member of the Group or Unconsolidated Affiliate in relation to which
         any of the events referred to in this Clause 16.5 applies, exceed 5% of
         Total Assets (as defined in Clause 18.2 (Financial Definitions)) of the
         Guarantor (determined on a consolidated basis) and no Obligor has taken
         any corporate action nor have any other steps been taken or legal
         proceedings been started or (to the best of its knowledge and belief)
         threatened against any such member of the Group, any such
         Unconsolidated Affiliate or any Obligor for its winding-up,
         dissolution, liquidation, administration or re-organisation (whether by
         voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or otherwise) or the
         appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver,
         conservator, custodian, trustee or similar officer of it or of any or
         all of its assets or revenues.

16.6     NO MATERIAL DEFAULTS
         No member of the Group is in breach of or in default under any
         agreement to which it is a party or which is binding on it or any of
         its assets to an extent or in a manner which could reasonably be
         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       38
<PAGE>   42

16.7     NO MATERIAL PROCEEDINGS
         Except as disclosed to and accepted by the Agent prior to the date
         hereof, no action or administrative proceeding of or before any court
         or agency has been started nor (to the best of its knowledge and
         belief) does there exist a genuine threat thereof against any member of
         the Group which is reasonably likely to be determined adversely against
         such member of the Group and which, if so adversely determined, is
         reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
         disclosed to and accepted by the Agent prior to the date hereof, no
         outstanding and unpaid judgment exists against any member of the Group
         which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

16.8     TAXES

         16.8.1   All of the tax returns of the Group required to be filed have
                  been filed (or extensions have been granted) before
                  delinquency, except for returns for which the failure to file
                  could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
                  Effect, and all taxes imposed upon each member of the Group
                  have been paid in accordance with Clause 19.20 (Taxes).

         16.8.2   As of the date hereof, no United States federal income tax
                  returns of the "affiliated group" (as defined in the I.R.C.
                  and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of which
                  the Guarantor is a member have been examined and closed. The
                  members of such affiliated group have filed all United States
                  Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns
                  which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes
                  due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment
                  received by any of them. The charges, accruals and reserves on
                  the books of the Guarantor in respect of taxes or other
                  governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Guarantor,
                  adequate.

         16.8.3   The Guarantor qualifies as a REIT.

16.9     PENSION PLANS

         16.9.1   Except as disclosed in the Original Financial Statements of
                  the Guarantor and except to the extent that any such
                  termination, liability, penalty, or fine would not (either
                  individually or in the aggregate) reasonably be expected to
                  have a Material Adverse Effect (a) no steps have been taken to
                  terminate any Pension Plan and no contribution failure has
                  occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give
                  rise to an Encumbrance under any applicable pension laws
                  (including, without limitation, ERISA), (b) no condition
                  exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to
                  any Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to result
                  in the incurrence by the Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate of
                  any material liability with respect to any contribution
                  thereto, fine, or penalty, and (c) neither the Guarantor nor
                  any ERISA Affiliate has any material contingent liability with
                  respect to any post retirement benefit under a Pension Plan.

<PAGE>   43

         16.9.2   EXEMPTION FROM ERISA: PLAN ASSETS
                  The assets of the Guarantor are not "plan assets" (as defined
                  in 29. C.F.R. para 2510.3-101 (a) (1) (or any successor
                  regulation)) of any Pension Plan.

         16.9.3   PENSION PLANS
                  All Pension Plans applied within the Group comply with all
                  material provisions of applicable law and employ reasonable
                  actuarial assumptions. No member of the Group has any
                  liability in respect of any Pension Plan (save as permitted in
                  accordance with ERISA) and there are no circumstances which
                  may give rise to such liability.

16.10    GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
         No member of the Group is subject to regulation under the United States
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the United States Public
         Utility Holding Company Act of 1939, as amended.

                  after the first date on which such entitlement arose PROVIDED

                  pay any Financial Indebtedness when due and PROVIDED FURTHER

         Instructing Group, any change in the ownership of a Borrower shall be
         permitted to the extent that such change (i) does not result in a
         Change of Control and (ii) is not likely (in the opinion of an
         Instructing Group) to adversely affect any Obligor's ability to comply
         with its obligations under any of the Facility Documents.

         date hereof or enters into any unrelated business which results in any
         material change to the nature of such business (save that the cessation
         of the Refrigerated Warehouse Business shall not be an Event of
         Default).

20.15    REPUDIATION

         done any act or thing evidencing an intention to repudiate any Facility

         legal, valid, binding and enforceable (where for this purpose the
         guarantee of the Guarantor contained in this Agreement is, for the
         avoidance of doubt, material).

         The external auditors of the Group make a qualification in their audit
         opinion in relation to the consolidated financial statements of the
         Group required to be delivered pursuant to Clause 17.1 (Guarantor's

         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter
         whilst it is continuing, the Agent may (and, if so instructed by an

         20.19.1  declare all or any part of the Advances to be immediately due
                  and payable (whereupon the same shall become so payable
                  together with accrued interest thereon and any other sums then
                  owed by the Borrowers hereunder) or declare all or any part of
                  the Advances to be due and payable on demand of the Agent;
                  and/or

         20.19.2  require each Borrower which has requested a Letter of Credit
                  to procure that the liabilities of each of the Banks and the
                  L/C Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit are promptly
                  reduced to zero and/or provide Cash Collateral for each Letter
                  of Credit in an amount specified by the Agent (such amount not
                  to exceed the maximum actual and contingent liability of the
                  L/C Issuing Bank in relation to such Letter of Credit) and in
                  the currency of such Letter of Credit (whereupon such Borrower
                  shall do so); and/or

         20.19.3  declare that the Facility shall be cancelled, whereupon the
                  same shall be cancelled and the Commitment of each Bank shall
                  be reduced to zero.

20.20    ADVANCES DUE ON DEMAND
         If, pursuant to Clause 20.19 (Acceleration and Cancellation), the Agent
         declares all or any part of the Advances to be due and payable on
         demand of the Agent, then, and at any time thereafter whilst an Event
         of Default is continuing, the Agent may (and, if so instructed by an
         Instructing Group, shall) by notice to the Borrowers:

         20.20.1  require repayment of all or such part of the Advances and any
                  other payment due hereunder on such date as it may specify in
                  such notice (whereupon the same shall become due and payable
                  on the date specified together with accrued interest thereon
                  and any other sums then owed by the Borrowers hereunder) or

                  reduced to zero.

                                       58
<PAGE>   62

         Advance shall, if the Agent subsequently demands payment before the
         scheduled Repayment Date in respect of such Advance, be deemed (except
         for the purposes of Clause 24.4 (Break Costs) to be of such length that
         it ends on the date that such demand is made.

21.      GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

21.1     GUARANTEE
         The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each
         Finance Party the due and punctual observance and performance of all
         the terms, conditions and covenants on the part of each Borrower
         contained in the Facility Documents and agrees to pay from time to time
         on demand any and every sum or sums of money which each such Borrower
         is at any time liable to pay to any Finance Party under or pursuant to
         the Facility Documents and which has become due and payable but has not
         been paid at the time such demand is made.

21.2     INDEMNITY

         any of the obligations the Borrowers (or any of them) under or pursuant
         to the Facility Documents being or becoming void, voidable,
         unenforceable or ineffective as against the Borrowers (or any of them)
         for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to any Finance Party or
         any other person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the
         person or persons suffering it would otherwise have been entitled to
         recover from the Borrowers (or any of them).

21.3     ADDITIONAL SECURITY
         The obligations of the Guarantor herein contained shall be in addition
         to and independent of every other security (if any) which any Finance

         obligations under the Facility Documents.

21.4     CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS
         The obligations of the Guarantor herein contained shall constitute and
         be continuing obligations notwithstanding any settlement of account or

         obligations of Borrowers (or any of them) under the Facility Documents
         and shall continue in full force and effect until final payment in full
         of all amounts owing by the Borrowers (or any of them) under the

         any Borrower hereunder or any Borrower is under any actual or
         contingent obligations under the Facility Documents, the Guarantor
         shall not exercise any rights which the Guarantor may at any time have

         Documents to:

         21.8.1   be indemnified by the Borrowers; and/or

         21.8.2   claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any

         the Agent.

24.2     DEFAULT INTEREST

         during each Term in respect thereof at the rate per annum which is 1.5
         per cent. per annum above the percentage rate which would apply to an
         Advance in the amount and currency of such Unpaid Sum and for the same
         Term (but assuming for this purpose that "EURIBOR" shall be replaced by
         a reference to the rate per annum, as notified by such Finance Party to
         the Agent, which represents the cost to such Finance Party of funding
         from whatever sources it may select its portion of such Unpaid Sum
         during such Term), PROVIDED THAT if such Unpaid Sum relates to an
         Advance which became due and payable on a day other than the last day

         24.2.2   the percentage rate of interest applicable thereto from time
                  to time during such period shall be that which exceeds by 1.5
                  per cent. the rate which would have been applicable to it had
                  it not so fallen due save that the Applicable Margin shall be,
                  or be deemed to be, the highest rate specified in the
                  definition thereof.

24.3     PAYMENT OF DEFAULT INTEREST

         its Term or on such other dates as the Agent may specify by notice to
         such Obligor.

24.4     BREAK COSTS
         If any Bank or the Agent on its behalf receives or recovers all or any
         part of an Advance or Unpaid Sum otherwise than on the last day of the
         Term thereof, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent on demand for
         account of such Bank an amount equal to the amount (if any) by which
         (a) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount
         so received or recovered had it been received or recovered on the last
         day of the Term thereof (excluding any element of interest representing
         the Applicable Margin) exceeds (b) the amount of interest

                                       63
<PAGE>   67

         which in the opinion of the Agent would have been payable to the Agent
         on the last day of the Term thereof in respect of a deposit in the
         currency of the amount so received or recovered equal to the amount so
         received or recovered placed by it with a prime bank in Amsterdam (or,
         in the case of amounts denominated in an Optional Currency, London) for
         a period starting on the first Business Day following the date of such
         receipt or recovery and ending on the last day of the Term thereof.

         order, judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted
         from the currency (the "FIRST CURRENCY") in which such Sum is payable
         into another currency (the "SECOND CURRENCY") for the purpose of:

         (Payments), then such Recovering Bank shall:

         29.1.1   notify the Agent of such receipt or recovery;

         29.1.2   at the request of the Agent, promptly pay to the Agent an
                  amount (the "SHARING PAYMENT") equal to such receipt or
                  recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be
                  retained by such Recovering Bank as its share of any payment
                  to be made in accordance with Clause 27.6 (Partial Payments).

29.2     REDISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS
         The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the
         relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other
         than the Recovering Bank) in accordance with Clause 27.6 (Partial
         Payments).

29.3     RECOVERING BANK'S RIGHTS
         The Recovering Bank will be subrogated into the rights of the parties
         which have shared in a redistribution pursuant to Clause 29.2
         (Redistribution of Payments) in respect of the Sharing Payment (and the
         relevant Obligor shall be liable to the Recovering Bank in an amount
         equal to the Sharing Payment).

29.4     REPAYABLE RECOVERIES
         If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a
         Recovering Bank becomes repayable and is repaid by such Recovering
         Bank, then:

         29.4.1   each party which has received a share of such Sharing Payment
                  pursuant to Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of Payments) shall,
                  upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for account of
                  such Recovering Bank an amount equal to its share of such
                  Sharing Payment; and

         29.4.2   such Recovering Bank's rights of subrogation in respect of any
                  reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will
                  be liable to the reimbursing party for the amount so
                  reimbursed.

29.5     EXCEPTION
         This Clause 29 shall not apply if the Recovering Bank would not, after
         making any payment pursuant hereto, have a valid and enforceable claim
         against the relevant Obligor

29.6     RECOVERIES THROUGH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         If any Bank intends to commence any action in any court it shall give
         prior notice to the Agent and the other Banks. If any Bank shall
         commence any action in any court to enforce its rights hereunder and,
         as a result thereof or in connection therewith, receives any amount,
         then such Bank shall not be required to share any portion of such
         amount with any Bank which has the legal right to, but does not, join
         in such action or commence and diligently prosecute a separate action
         to enforce its rights in another court.

30.1     APPOINTMENT OF THE AGENT
         Each of the Arrangers, the Banks and the L/C Issuing Bank hereby
         appoints the Agent to act as its agent in connection with the Facility
         Documents and authorises the Agent to exercise such rights, powers,
         authorities and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Agent

30.2     AGENT'S DISCRETIONS
         The Agent may:

                  received notice to the contrary from any other party to the
                  Facility Documents, that (a) any representation made or deemed
                  to be made by an Obligor in connection with the Facility
                  Documents is true, (b) no Event of Default or Potential Event
                  of Default has occurred, (c) no Obligor is in breach of or
                  default under its obligations under the Facility Documents and
                  (d) any right, power, authority or discretion vested therein
                  upon an Instructing Group, the Banks,

                                       69
<PAGE>   73

                  the L/C Issuing Bank or any other person or group of persons
                  has not been exercised;

         30.2.2   assume that the Facility Office of each Bank is that notified
                  to it by such Bank in writing prior to the date hereof (or, in
                  the case of a Transferee, at the end of the Transfer
                  Certificate to which it is a party as Transferee) until it has
                  received from such Bank a notice designating some other office
                  of such Bank to replace its Facility Office and act upon any
                  such notice until the same is superseded by a further such
                  notice;

         30.2.3   engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers,
                  accountants, surveyors or other experts whose advice or
                  services may to it seem necessary, expedient or desirable and
                  rely upon any advice so obtained;

         30.2.4   rely as to any matters of fact which might reasonably be
                  expected to be within the knowledge of an Obligor upon a
                  certificate signed by or on behalf of such Obligor;

         30.2.5   rely upon any communication or document believed by it to be
                  genuine;

         30.2.6   refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested
                  in it as agent under the Facility Documents unless and until
                  instructed by an Instructing Group as to whether or not such
                  right, power or discretion is to be exercised and, if it is to
                  be exercised, as to the manner in which it should be
                  exercised; and

         30.2.7   refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of an
                  Instructing Group to begin any legal action or proceeding
                  arising out of or in connection with the Facility Documents
                  until it shall have received such security as it may require
                  (whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise) for all
                  costs, claims, losses, expenses (including legal fees) and
                  liabilities together with any VAT thereon which it will or may
                  expend or incur in complying with such instructions.

30.3     AGENT'S OBLIGATIONS
         The Agent shall:

         30.3.1   promptly inform each Bank and, where appropriate, the L/C
                  Issuing Bank of the contents of any notice or document
                  received by it in its capacity as Agent from an Obligor under
                  the Facility Documents;

         30.3.2   promptly notify each Bank and, where appropriate, the L/C
                  Issuing Bank of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any
                  default by an Obligor in the due performance of or compliance
                  with its obligations under the Facility Documents of which the
                  Agent has notice from any other party to the Facility
                  Documents;

         30.3.3   save as otherwise provided herein, act as agent under the
                  Facility Documents in accordance with any instructions given
                  to it by an Instructing Group, which instructions shall be
                  binding on the Arrangers, the L/C Issuing Bank and the Banks;
                  and

                                       70
<PAGE>   74

         30.3.4   if so instructed by an Instructing Group, refrain from
                  exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it as
                  agent under the Facility Documents.

         The Agent's duties under the Facility Documents are solely mechanical
         and administrative in nature.

30.4     EXCLUDED OBLIGATIONS
         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in the
         Facility Documents, neither the Agent nor any of the Arrangers shall:

         30.4.1   be bound to enquire as to (a) whether or not any
                  representation made or deemed to be made by an Obligor in
                  connection with the Facility Documents is true, (b) the
                  occurrence or otherwise of any Event of Default or Potential
                  Event of Default, (c) the performance by an Obligor of its
                  obligations under the Facility Documents or (d) any breach of
                  or default by an Obligor of or under its obligations under the
                  Facility Documents;

         30.4.2   be bound to account to any Bank or the L/C Issuing Bank for
                  any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for
                  its own account;

         30.4.3   be bound to disclose to any other person any information
                  relating to any member of the Group or any Unconsolidated
                  Affiliate if (a) such person, on providing such information
                  expressly stated to the Agent or, as the case may be, the
                  Arrangers, that such information was confidential or (b) such
                  disclosure would or might in its opinion constitute a breach
                  of any law or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any
                  person;

         30.4.4   be under any obligations other than those for which express
                  provision is made in the Facility Documents; or

         30.4.5   be or be deemed to be a fiduciary for any other party to the
                  Facility Documents.

30.5     INDEMNIFICATION
         Each Bank shall, in its Proportion, from time to time on demand by the
         Agent, indemnify the Agent, against any and all costs, claims, losses,
         expenses (including legal fees) and liabilities together with any VAT
         thereon which the Agent may incur, otherwise than by reason of its own
         gross negligence or wilful misconduct, in acting in its capacity as
         agent under the Facility Documents (other than any which have been
         reimbursed by the Guarantors pursuant to Clause 25.1 (Guarantor's
         Indemnity)).

30.6     EXCLUSION OF LIABILITIES
         Except in the case of gross negligence or wilful default, none of the
         Agent and the Arrangers accepts any responsibility:

         30.6.1   for the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the
                  Information

                                       71
<PAGE>   75

                  Memorandum or any other information supplied by the Agent or
                  the Arrangers, by any member of the Group or any
                  Unconsolidated Affiliate or by any other person in connection
                  with the Facility Documents, the transactions contemplated in
                  the Facility Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or
                  document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of,
                  pursuant to or in connection with the Facility Documents;

         30.6.2   for the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
                  enforceability of any of the Facility Documents or any other
                  agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or
                  executed in anticipation of, pursuant to or in connection with
                  the Facility Documents; or

         30.6.3   for the exercise of, or the failure to exercise, any
                  judgement, discretion or power given to any of them by or in
                  connection with the Facility Documents or any other agreement,
                  arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
                  anticipation of, pursuant to or in connection with the
                  Facility Documents.

         Accordingly, none of the Agent and the Arrangers shall be under any
         liability in respect of such matters, save in the case of gross
         negligence or wilful misconduct.

30.7     NO ACTIONS
         Each of the Banks and the L/C Issuing Bank agrees that it will not
         assert or seek to assert against any director, officer or employee of
         the Agent or any Arranger any claim it might have against any of them
         in respect of the matters referred to in Clause 30.6 (Exclusion of
         Liabilities).

30.8     BUSINESS WITH THE GROUP
         The Agent and each of the Arrangers may accept deposits from, lend
         money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business
         with any member of the Group.

30.9     RESIGNATION
         The Agent may not resign its appointment under the Facility Documents.

30.10    REMOVAL OF AGENT
         An Instructing Group may remove the Agent from its role as agent under
         the Facility Documents by giving notice to that effect to each of the
         other parties hereto. Such removal shall take effect only when a
         successor to the Agent is appointed in accordance with the terms
         hereof.

30.11    SUCCESSOR AGENT
         If the Agent is removed pursuant to Clause 30.10 (Removal of Agent),
         then any reputable and experienced bank or other financial institution
         may be appointed as a successor to the Agent by an Instructing Group
         (after consultation with the Guarantor) before such removal takes
         effect. Such removal shall not take effect until an Instructing Group
         has received in form and substance satisfactory to it such documents,
         legal opinions and other evidence it requires in order to be satisfied
         that the interests of the Banks under the Facility Documents are not
         thereby prejudiced.

<PAGE>   76

30.12    RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
         If a successor to the Agent is appointed under the provisions of Clause
         30.11 (Successor Agent), then (a) the departing Agent shall be
         discharged from any further obligations under the Facility Documents
         but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this
         Clause 30 and (b) its successor and each of the other parties to the
         Facility Documents shall have the same rights and obligations amongst
         themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to
         the Facility Documents.

30.13    OWN RESPONSIBILITY
         It is understood and agreed by each Bank and the L/C Issuing Bank that
         at all times it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely
         responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and
         investigation into all risks arising under or in connection with the
         Facility Documents including, but not limited to:

         30.13.1  the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs,
                  status and nature of each member of the Group and each
                  Unconsolidated Affiliate;

         30.13.2  the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy and
                  enforceability of the Facility Documents and any other
                  agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or
                  executed in anticipation of, pursuant to or in connection with
                  the Facility Documents;

         30.13.3  whether such Bank has recourse, and the nature and extent of
                  that recourse, against an Obligor or any other person or any
                  of their respective assets under or in connection with the
                  Facility Documents, the transactions contemplated in the
                  Facility Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or
                  document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of,
                  pursuant to or in connection with the Facility Documents; and

         30.13.4  the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information
                  Memorandum and any other information provided by the Agent or
                  the Arrangers, an Obligor, or by any other person in
                  connection with the Facility Documents, the transactions
                  contemplated therein or any other agreement, arrangement or
                  document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of,
                  pursuant to or in connection with the Facility Documents.

         Accordingly, each Bank and the L/C Issuing Bank acknowledges to the
         Agent and the Arrangers that it has not relied on and will not
         hereafter rely on the Agent and the Arrangers or any of them in respect
         of any of these matters.

30.14    BANK'S MANDATORY COST DETAILS
         Each Bank will supply the Agent with such information and in such
         detail as the Agent may require in order to calculate the Mandatory
         Costs Rate in accordance with Schedule 10 (Mandatory Costs).

<PAGE>   77

30.15    AGENCY DIVISION SEPARATE
         In acting as agent under the Facility Documents for the Banks, the
         Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which
         shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions
         or departments and, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
         Clause 30, any information received by some other division or
         department of the Agent may be treated as confidential and shall not be
         regarded as having been given to the Agent's agency division.

31.31.   THE BANKS AND THE L/C ISSUING BANK

31.1     BANK'S INDEMNITY
         If any Borrower fails to comply with its obligations under Clause 9.1
         (Borrowers' Indemnity to L/C Issuing Bank) the Agent shall make demand
         on each Bank for its share of the relevant L/C Amount and, subject to
         Clause 31.2 (Direct Participation)), each Bank shall indemnify the L/C
         Issuing Bank for such Bank's L/C Proportion of each L/C Amount.

31.2     DIRECT PARTICIPATION
         If any Bank is not permitted (by its constitutional documents or any
         applicable law) to comply with Clause 31.1 (Bank's Indemnity) then such
         Bank will not be obliged to comply with Clause 31.1 (Bank's Indemnity)
         and shall instead be deemed to have taken, on the date such Letter of
         Credit is issued (or if later, on the date such L/C Participation is
         transferred or assigned to such Bank in accordance with the terms of
         this Agreement), an undivided interest and participation in such Letter
         of Credit in an amount equal to such Bank's L/C Proportion of such
         Letter of Credit. On receipt of a demand made by the Agent in
         accordance with Clause 31.1 (Bank's Indemnity), each such Bank shall
         pay to the Agent (for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank) its L/C
         Proportion of any L/C Amount.

31.3     OBLIGATIONS NOT DISCHARGED
         Neither the obligations of each Bank in this Clause 31 nor the rights,
         powers and remedies conferred upon the L/C Issuing Bank by this
         Agreement or by law shall be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected
         by:

         31.3.1   the winding-up, dissolution, administration or re-organisation
                  of the L/C Issuing Bank, any Obligor or any other person or
                  any change in its status, function, control or ownership;

         31.3.2   any of the obligations of the L/C Issuing Bank, any Borrower
                  or any other person under the Facility Documents, under a
                  Letter of Credit or under any other security taken in respect
                  of its obligations under the Facility Documents or under a
                  Letter of Credit being or becoming illegal, invalid,
                  unenforceable or ineffective in any respect;

         31.3.3   time or other indulgence being granted or agreed to be granted
                  to the L/C Issuing Bank, any Borrower or any other person in
                  respect of its obligations under the

                                       74
<PAGE>   78

                  Facility Documents, under a Letter of Credit or under any such
                  other security;

         31.3.4   any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any
                  obligation of the L/C Issuing Bank, any Borrower or any other
                  person under the Facility Documents, under a Letter of Credit
                  or under any such other security; and

         31.3.5   any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause
                  31.3, might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect
                  any of the obligations of each Bank herein contained or any of
                  the rights, powers or remedies conferred upon the L/C Issuing
                  Bank by this Agreement or by law.

         The obligations of each Bank herein contained shall be in addition to
         and independent of every other security which the L/C Issuing Bank may
         at any time hold in respect of any Letter of Credit.

31.4     SETTLEMENT CONDITIONAL
         Any settlement or discharge between a Bank and the L/C Issuing Bank
         shall be conditional upon no security or payment to any L/C Issuing
         Bank by a Bank or any other person on behalf of a Bank being avoided or
         reduced by virtue of any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
         liquidation or similar laws of general application and, if any such
         security or payment is so avoided or reduced, the L/C Issuing Bank
         shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of such security or
         payment from such Bank subsequently as if such settlement or discharge
         had not occurred.

31.5     EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
         The L/C Issuing Bank shall not be obliged before exercising any of the
         rights, powers or remedies conferred upon it in respect of any Bank by
         this Agreement or by law:

         31.5.1   to take any action or obtain judgment in any court against any
                  Obligor;

         31.5.2   to make or file any claim or proof in a winding-up or
                  dissolution of any Obligor; or

         31.5.3   to enforce or seek to enforce any other security taken in
                  respect of any of the obligations of any Obligor under the
                  Facility Documents.

32.3     ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY BANKS
         Subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Guarantor (not to
         be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the L/C Issuing Bank (not to
         be unreasonably withheld or delayed having regard, inter alia, to the
         L/C Issuing Bank's internal policies and guidelines, commercial
         position and affairs at the relevant time), any Bank may, at any time,
         assign all or any of its rights and benefits under the Facility
         Documents or transfer in accordance with Clause 32.5 (Transfers by
         Banks) all or any of its rights, benefits and obligations hereunder to
         a bank or financial institution, PROVIDED THAT (a) the Guarantor's
         consent shall not be required if such assignment or transfer is to any
         subsidiary or holding company, or to any subsidiary of any holding
         company, of such Bank, (b) neither the Guarantor's nor the L/C Issuing
         Bank's consent shall be required if such assignment or transfer is to
         any other Bank and (c) if such assignment or transfer is of part only
         of such Bank's rights, benefits and/or obligations hereunder, such
         assignment or transfer is in a minimum amount of EUR 10,000,000 or the
         equivalent thereof.

32.4     ASSIGNMENTS BY BANKS
         If any Bank assigns all or any of its rights and benefits under the
         Facility Documents in accordance with Clause 32.3 (Assignments and
         Transfers by Banks), then, unless and until the assignee has delivered
         a notice to the Agent confirming in favour of the Agent, the Arrangers,
         the L/C Issuing Bank and the other Banks that it shall be under the
         same obligations towards each of them as it would have been under if it
         had been an original party hereto as a Bank (whereupon such assignee
         shall become a party hereto as a "Bank"), the Agent, the Arrangers, the
         L/C Issuing Bank and the other Banks shall not be obliged to recognise
         such assignee as having the rights against each of them which it would
         have had if it had been such a party hereto.

32.5     TRANSFERS BY BANKS
         If any Bank wishes to transfer all or any of its rights, benefits
         and/or obligations hereunder as contemplated in Clause 32.3
         (Assignments and Transfers by Banks), then such transfer may be
         effected by the delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Transfer
         Certificate executed by such Bank and the relevant Transferee in which
         event, on the later of the Transfer Date specified in such Transfer
         Certificate and the fifth Business Day after (or such earlier Business
         Day endorsed by the Agent on such Transfer Certificate falling on or
         after) the date of delivery of such Transfer Certificate to the Agent:

         32.5.1   to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Bank party
                  thereto seeks to transfer by novation its rights, benefits and
                  obligations hereunder, each of the Obligors and such Bank
                  shall be released from further obligations towards one another
                  hereunder and their respective rights against one another
                  shall be cancelled (such rights and obligations being referred
                  to in this Clause 32.5 as "DISCHARGED RIGHTS AND
                  OBLIGATIONS");

         32.5.2   each of the Obligors and the Transferee party thereto shall
                  assume obligations

                                       76
<PAGE>   80

                  towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another
                  which differ from such discharged rights and obligations only
                  insofar as such Obligor and such Transferee have assumed
                  and/or acquired the same in place of such Obligor and such
                  Bank;

         32.5.3   the Agent, the Arrangers, such Transferee, the L/C Issuing
                  Bank and the other Banks shall acquire the same rights and
                  benefits and assume the same obligations between themselves as
                  they would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee been
                  an original party hereto as a Bank with the rights, benefits
                  and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of
                  such transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers, the
                  L/C Issuing Bank and the relevant Bank shall each be released
                  from further obligations to each other hereunder; and

         32.5.4   such Transferee shall become a party hereto as a "Bank".

32.6     ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER FEES

         32.5 (Assignments by Banks) or a transfer takes effect pursuant to
         Clause 32.6 (Transfers by Banks) the relevant assignee or Transferee
         shall pay to the Agent for its own account a fee of EUR 1,500 (but not,
         for the avoidance of doubt, any further fee solely in relation to such
         assignment or transfer).

         32.7.1   to (or through) whom such Bank assigns or transfers (or may
                  potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights,
                  benefits and obligations hereunder;

         32.7.2   with (or through) whom such Bank enters into (or may
                  potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to,
                  or any other transaction under which payments are to be made
                  by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor; or

         32.7.3   to whom information may be required to be disclosed by any
                  applicable law,

         such information about any Obligor, the Group, any Unconsolidated
         Affiliate and the Facility Documents as such Bank shall consider
         appropriate (PROVIDED THAT (in the case of sub-clauses 32.7.1 and
         32.7.2) such person enters into a confidentiality agreement in relation
         to such information on terms reasonably acceptable to such Bank).

                                       77
<PAGE>   81

         hereunder pursuant to this clause 32 no Obligor shall be obliged to
         make any additional payment to the relevant assignee or Transferee
         pursuant to Clause 11 (Taxes) or make any payment by way of
         indemnification under Clause 13 (Increased Costs) in excess of the
         additional payment it would have been required to make pursuant to
         Clause 11 (Taxes) or in excess of the amount it would have been obliged
         to pay by way of indemnification under Clause 13 (Increased Costs) in
         the absence of such assignment or transfer.

         denominated in sterling, 365 days or, in any case where market practice
         differs, in accordance with market practice) and the actual number of

         proportionately.

33.3     QUOTATIONS
         If on any occasion a Reference Bank or Bank fails to supply the Agent
         with a quotation required of it under the foregoing provisions of this
         Agreement, the rate for which such quotation was required shall be
         determined from those quotations which are supplied to the Agent,
         PROVIDED THAT, in relation to determining EURIBOR or, as the case may
         be, LIBOR, this Clause 33.3 shall not apply if only one Reference Bank
         supplies a quotation.

33.4     EVIDENCE OF DEBT
         Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts
         evidencing the amounts from time to time lent by and owing to it

         Obligor and each Bank's share therein and (c) the amount of any sum
         received or recovered by the Agent hereunder and each Bank's share
         therein.

33.6     PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE
         In any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with
         this Agreement, the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
         Clause 33.4 (Evidence of Debt) and Clause 33.5 (Control Accounts) shall
         be prima facie evidence in the absence of manifest error of the
         existence and amounts of the specified obligations of the Obligors.

                  Participant to be paid to or by the Agent shall, immediately
                  upon it becoming a Subsequent Participant, be replaced by a
                  reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount
                  (or an integral multiple thereof) in the euro unit as the
                  Agent may specify.

         30.7.2   Save as expressly provided in this Clause 30.7, the Facility
                  Documents shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
                  construction as the Agent and the Borrowers may agree at the
                  relevant time to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the
                  euro in any Participating Member State and any relevant market
                  conventions or practices relating to the euro.

33.8     CERTIFICATES OF BANKS

         unenforceable or ineffective, at any time would have been due from any
         Borrower hereunder shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
         conclusive for the purposes of Clause 21 (Guarantee and Indemnity).

         it had been an Original Borrower on the date on which the Agent
         notifies the Guarantor that:

         34.2.1   each Bank gives its consent (not to be unreasonably withheld
                  or delayed PROVIDED THAT it shall not be unreasonable if any
                  Bank withholds or delays such consent as a result of
                  application of taxation matters or its internal credit
                  policies) to the request in respect of such Consolidated
                  Affiliate; and

         34.2.2   the Agent has received, in form and substance satisfactory to

34.3     RESIGNATION OF A BORROWER
         If at any time a Borrower is under no actual or contingent obligation
         under or pursuant to any Facility Documents, the Guarantor may request
         that such Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower by delivering to the
         Agent a resignation notice. Such resignation notice shall be accepted
         by the Agent on the date on which it notifies the Guarantor that it is
         satisfied that such Borrower is under no actual or continent obligation
         under or pursuant to any Facility Document and such Borrower shall
         immediately cease to be a Borrower and shall have no further rights,

39.      GOVERNING LAW

         This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,

40.      JURISDICTION

40.1     ENGLISH COURTS

         Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees for the benefit of each
         of the Finance Parties that the courts of England shall have
         jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceedings, and
         to settle any disputes, which may arise out or in connection with this
         Agreement (respectively "PROCEEDINGS" and "DISPUTES") and, for such
         purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

                                       83
<PAGE>   87

40.2     NEW YORK COURTS
         Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that the courts of the
         State of New York and the courts of the United States of America, in
         each case sitting in the County of New York, shall have jurisdiction to
         hear and determine any Proceedings and to settle any Disputes and, for
         such purposes, irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.

40.3     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
         Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted
         by applicable law, trial by jury in any litigation in any court with
         respect to, in connection with, or arising out of this Agreement or the
         validity, protection, interpretation, or enforcement hereof.

40.4     CONVENIENT FORUM
         The parties agree that the courts of England and the courts of New York
         are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes
         between them and, accordingly, that they will not argue to the
         contrary.

40.5     NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
         This Clause 40 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a
         result and notwithstanding Clause 40.1 (English Courts) and Clause 40.2
         (New York Courts), it does not prevent any Finance Party from taking
         proceedings relating to a Dispute ("PROCEEDINGS") in any other courts
         with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties
         may take concurrent Proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

40.6     SERVICE OF PROCESS
         Each Obligor agrees that the documents which start any Proceedings and
         any other documents required to be served in relation to those
         Proceedings may be served on it:

         40.6.1   in the case of the Original Borrowers, on ProLogis
                  Developments Limited at Kingspark House, 1 Monkspath Hall
                  Road, Solihull, West Midlands B90 4FY, England, or, if
                  different, its registered office;

         40.6.2   in the case of the Guarantor, on ProLogis Developments Limited
                  at Kingspark House, 1 Monkspath Hall Road, Solihull, West
                  Midlands B90 4FY, England, or, if different, its registered
                  office; and

         40.6.3   in the case of each Additional Borrower, on the person and at
                  the address specified in the relevant Borrower Accession
                  Agreement.

         If the appointment of the person mentioned in this Clause 40.6 ceases
         to be effective, the relevant Obligor shall immediately appoint another
         person in England for service of process on its behalf in England. If
         an Obligor fails to do so (and such failure continues for a period of
         not less than fourteen days), the Agent shall be entitled to appoint
         such a person by notice to such Obligor. Nothing contained herein shall
         restrict the right to serve process in any other

                                       84
<PAGE>   88

         manner allowed by law. This Clause 40.6 applies to Proceedings in
         England and to Proceedings elsewhere.

AS WITNESS the hands of the duly authorised representatives of the parties
hereto the day and year first before written.

To:      ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

From:    [New Borrower]
              and
         ProLogis Trust

Dated:

Dear Sirs,

1.       We refer to a EURO 325,000,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility
         agreement (the "FACILITY AGREEMENT") dated 17 December, 1999 and made
         between PLD Europe Finance B.V. and PLD UK Finance B.V. as original
         borrowers (the "ORIGINAL BORROWERS") under the guarantee of ProLogis
         Trust (the "GUARANTOR"), ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and Societe Generale as
         arranger and co-arranger, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as facility agent and the
         Banks (as defined in the Facility Agreement).

2.       Terms defined in the Facility Agreement shall bear the same meanings
         herein.

3.       Each of the Guarantor and each Borrower requests that [Subsidiary]
         become an Additional Borrower pursuant to Clause 34 (Additional
         Borrowers) of the Facility Agreement.

6.       [Subsidiary] undertakes, upon its becoming a Borrower, to perform all
         the obligations expressed to be undertaken under the Facility Agreement

                                   SCHEDULE 8

                                 MANDATORY COSTS

1.       The Mandatory Cost Rate is an addition to the interest rate to
         compensate Banks for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements
         of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in
         either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its
         functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.       On the first day of each Term (or as soon as possible thereafter) the
         Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "ADDITIONAL
         COSTS RATE") for each Bank, in accordance with the formulae set out in
         paragraph 4 below. The Mandatory Cost Rate will be calculated by the
         Agent as a weighted average of the Banks' additional costs rates
         (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Bank in
         the relevant Advance) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per
         annum.

3.       The additional costs rate for any Bank lending from a Facility Office
         in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that
         Bank to the Agent as a cost of complying with the minimum reserve
         requirements of the European Central Bank.

4.       The additional cost rate for any Bank lending from a Facility Office in
         England will be calculated by the Agent as follows:

         (a)      in relation to sterling Advances:

                               AB + C (B - D) + E x 0.01  per cent. per annum
                               -------------------------
                                          100-(A+C)

         (b)      in relation to Advances in any currency other than sterling:

                                          E x 0.01   per cent. per annum
                                          --------
                                            300

         Where:

         A        is the percentage of eligible liabilities (assuming these to
                  be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Bank is from
                  time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash
                  ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash
                  ratio requirements.

         B        is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable
                  Margin and the Mandatory Cost Rate) payable for the relevant
                  Term on the Advance.

         C        is the percentage (if any) of eligible liabilities which that
                  Bank is required from

                                       99
<PAGE>   103

                  time to time to maintain as interest bearing special deposits
                  with the Bank of England.

         D        is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of
                  England to the Agent on interest bearing special deposits.

         E        is the rate of charge payable by the Bank to the Financial
                  Services Authority pursuant to the Fee Regulations (but, for
                  this purpose, ignoring any minimum fee requirement pursuant to
                  the Fee Regulations) and expressed in pounds per ,1,000,000 of
                  the Fee Base of that Bank.

5.       For the purposes of this Schedule:

         (a)      "ELIGIBLE LIABILITIES" and "SPECIAL DEPOSITS" have the
                  meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to
                  the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the
                  Bank of England;

         (b)      "FEE REGULATIONS" means the Banking Supervision (Fees)
                  Regulations 1999 or such other law as may be in force from
                  time to time in respect of the payment of fees for banking
                  supervision; and

         (c)      "FEE BASE" has the meaning given to it, and will be calculated
                  in accordance with, the Fee Regulations.

6.       In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in
         the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the
         formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by
         subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures
         shall be rounded to four decimal places.

7.       Each Bank shall supply any information required by the Agent for the
         purpose of calculating the above formulae. In particular, but without
         limitation, each Bank shall supply the following information in writing
         on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank:

         (a)      its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of its
                  Facility Office; and

         (b)      such other information that the Agent may reasonably require
                  for such purpose.

         Each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any change to
         the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8.       The percentages or rates of charge of each Bank for the purpose of A, C
         and E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information
         supplied to it pursuant to paragraph 6 above and on the assumption
         that, unless a Bank notifies the Agent to the

                                      100
<PAGE>   104

         contrary, each Bank's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits,
         special deposits and the Fee Regulations are the same as those of a
         typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility
         Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

         The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination
         results in an additional costs rate which over or under compensates any
         Bank and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by
         any Bank pursuant to paragraph 6 above is true and correct in all
         respects.

9.       The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received pursuant to
         the Mandatory Cost Rate to the Banks on the basis of the additional
         costs rate for each Bank, in accordance with the above formulae and
         based on the information provided by each Bank pursuant to paragraph 6
         above.

10.      Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to
         a formula, the Mandatory Cost Rate, an additional costs rate or any
         amount payable to a Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
         conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

11.      The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Guarantor
         and the Banks, determine and notify to all parties any amendments or
         variations which are required to be made to any of the formulae set out
         above in order to comply with any change in law or any requirements
         from time to time imposed by the Bank of England or the Financial
         Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which
         replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall,
         in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all
         parties hereto.

                         EXECUTIVE PROTECTION AGREEMENT

         This Agreement entered into as of the 24th day of June, 1999 (the
"Effective Date") by and between ProLogis Trust, a Maryland real estate
investment trust (the "Trust"), and                         (the "Executive"),
                                    -----------------------

                                WITNESSETH THAT:

         WHEREAS, the Trust wishes to assure itself of the continuity of the
Executive's services in the event of a change in control of the Trust; and

         WHEREAS, the Trust and the Executive accordingly desire to enter into
this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
set forth herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as follows:

         1.       Term of Agreement. The "Term" of this Agreement shall commence
on the Effective Date and shall continue through December 31, 2001; provided,
however, that on such date and on each December 31 thereafter, the Term of this
Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not
later than the preceding October 1, either party shall have given notice that
such party does not wish to extend the Term; and provided further that if a
Change in Control (as defined in paragraph 3 below) shall have occurred during
the original or any extended Term of this Agreement, the Term of this Agreement
shall continue until the end of the twenty-fourth calendar month after the
calendar month in which such Change in Control occurs, at which time it will
expire.

         2.       Employment After a Change in Control. If the Executive is in
the employ of the Trust on the date of a Change in Control, the Trust hereby
agrees to continue the Executive in its employ for the period commencing on the
date of the Change in Control and ending on the last day of the Term of this
Agreement. During the period of employment described in the foregoing provisions
of this paragraph 2 (the "Employment Period"), the Executive shall hold such
position with the Trust and exercise such authority and perform such executive
duties as are commensurate with his position, authority and duties immediately
prior to the Employment Period. The Executive agrees that during the Employment
Period he shall devote his full business time exclusively to the executive
duties described herein and perform such duties faithfully and efficiently;
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive
from voluntarily resigning from employment upon no less than 15 days' advance
written notice to the Trust under circumstances that do not constitute a
Termination (as defined in paragraph 5).

         3.       Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change
in Control" means the happening of any of the following:

<PAGE>   2

         (a)      The shareholders of the Trust approve a definitive agreement
         to merge the Trust into or consolidate the Trust with another entity,
         sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or
         adopt a plan of liquidation, provided, however, that a Change in
         Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by reason of a
         transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related series
         of transactions, upon the completion of which 50% or more of the
         beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Trust, the surviving
         corporation or corporation directly or indirectly controlling the Trust
         or the surviving corporation, as the case may be, is held by the same
         persons (as defined below) (although not necessarily in the same
         proportion) as held the beneficial ownership of the voting power of the
         Trust immediately prior to the transaction or the substantially
         concurrent or otherwise related series of transactions, except that
         upon the completion thereof, employees or employee benefit plans of the
         Trust may be a new holder of such beneficial ownership; provided,
         further, that any transaction described in this paragraph (a) with an
         "Affiliate" of the Trust (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
         1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) shall not be treated as a Change
         in Control.

         (b)      The "beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
         Exchange Act) of securities representing 50% or more of the combined
         voting power of the Trust is acquired, other than from the Trust, by
         any "person" as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act
         (other than any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
         employee benefit or other similar stock plan of the Trust); provided,
         that any purchase by Security Capital Group Incorporated or any of its
         Affiliates of securities representing 50% or more of the combined
         voting power of the Trust shall not be treated as a Change in Control.

         (c)      At any time during any period of two consecutive years,
         individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the
         Board of Trustees of the Trust cease for any reason to constitute at
         least a majority thereof (unless the election, or the nomination for
         election by the Trust's shareholders, of each new trustee was approved
         by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trustees still in office at the
         time of such election or nomination who were trustees at the beginning
         of such period).

         (d)      The SCGI Affiliates in a single transaction, or in
         substantially concurrent transactions or otherwise related series of
         transactions, transfer all or a portion of their interests in the
         Trust; provided that the interest so transferred represents 20% or more
         of the total beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Trust; and
         further provided that the transfer of such 20% or greater interest is
         to a corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other entity (or a
         group of any such entities that are under common control) that are not
         SCGI Affiliates (regardless of whether any Rights are transferred in
         connection with the transaction).

         (e)      The SCGI Affiliates transfer any Rights to any person who is
         not an SCGI Affiliate.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall be defined as
indicated:

(i)      The term "Beneficial Owner" shall mean beneficial owner as defined in
         Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

(ii)     Entities shall be treated as being under "common control" during any
         period in which they are "affiliates" of each other as that term is
         defined in the Exchange Act.

(iii)    The term "person" shall be as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
         the Exchange Act, but shall exclude any trustee or other fiduciary
         holding securities under an employee benefit or other similar stock
         plan of the Trust.

(iv)     The term "ProLogis Affiliate" shall mean ProLogis Trust and any of its
         "affiliates" as that term is defined in the Exchange Act.

(v)      The term "Rights" shall mean (i) any rights of Security Capital Group
         Incorporated set forth in Section 5 of the Third Amended and Restated
         Investor Agreement, dated as of September 9, 1997 between ProLogis
         Trust and Security Capital Group Incorporated, as such agreement may be
         amended and in effect from time to time; and (ii) any rights of
         Security Capital Group Incorporated as an Excluded Holder under the
         provisions of Article II of ProLogis Trust's Amended and Restated
         Declaration of Trust, as amended and supplemented and in effect from
         time to time.

(vi)     The term "SCGI Affiliate" shall mean Security Capital Group
         Incorporated and any of its "affiliates" as that term is defined in the
         Exchange Act.

         4.       Compensation During the Employment Period. During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall be compensated as follows:

         (a)      He shall receive an annual salary which is not less than his
         annual salary immediately prior to the Employment Period.

         (b)      He shall be entitled to participate in annual cash-based
         incentive compensation plans which, in the aggregate, provide bonus
         opportunities which are not materially less favorable to the Executive
         than the greater of (i) the opportunities provided by the Trust for
         executives with comparable levels of responsibility as in effect from
         time to time; and (ii) the opportunities provided to the Executive
         under all such plans in which he was participating prior to the
         Employment Period.

         (c)      He shall be eligible to participate in other incentive
         compensation plans and other employee benefit plans on a basis not
         materially less favorable to the Executive than that applicable to
         other executives of the Trust with comparable levels of responsibility
         as in effect from time to time.

         5.       Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Termination" shall mean termination of the employment of the Executive by the
Trust during the Employment Period (i) by the Trust, for any reason other than
death, Disability, or Cause, or (ii) by Constructive Discharge of the Executive
(as these terms are described below). For purposes of this Agreement:

         (a)      The Executive shall be considered to have a "Disability"
         during the period in which he is unable, by reason of a medically
         determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in the material
         and substantial duties of his regular occupation, and such condition is
         expected to be permanent, as determined by the Board of Trustees.

         (b)      For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean, in the
         reasonable judgment of the Board of Trustees (i) the willful and
         continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties
         with the Trust or any subsidiary after written notification by the
         Trust or subsidiary, (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in
         conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Trust or any subsidiary,
         monetarily or otherwise, or (iii) the engaging by the Executive in
         egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude. For purposes
         hereof, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be
         deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive
         not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action was in
         the best interest of the Trust or subsidiary.

         (c)      If, after a Change in Control, the Executive:

                  (i)      provides written notice to the Trust of the
                  occurrence of Good Reason (as defined below) within a
                  reasonable time after the Executive has knowledge of the
                  circumstances constituting Good Reason, which notice shall
                  specifically identifies the circumstances which the Executive
                  believes constitute Good Reason;

                  (ii)     the Trust fails to notify the Executive of the
                  Trust's intended method of correction within a reasonable
                  period of time after the Trust receives the notice, or the
                  Trust fails to correct the circumstances within a reasonable
                  time after such notice; and

                  (iii)    the Executive resigns within a reasonable time after
                  receiving the Trust's response, if such notice does not
                  indicate an intention to correct such circumstances, or within
                  a reasonable time after the Trust fails to correct such
                  circumstances;

         then the Executive shall be considered to have been subject to a
         "Constructive Discharge" by the Trust. For purposes of this Agreement,
         "Good Reason" shall mean, without the Executive's express written
         consent (and except in consequence of a prior termination of the
         Executive's employment), the occurrence of any of the following
         circumstances:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

         (I)      a substantial adverse alteration in the nature of the
         Executive's status or responsibilities from those in effect immediately
         prior to the Employment Period;

         (II)     failure to provide salary and other compensation and benefits
         in accordance with paragraph 4; or

         (III)    the failure of the Trust to obtain a satisfactory agreement
         from any successor to assume and agree to perform this Agreement as
         contemplated in paragraph 16.

If the Executive becomes employed by the entity into which the Trust merged, or
the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Trust, or a successor to
such entity or purchaser, the Executive shall not be treated as having
terminated employment for purposes of this Agreement until such time as the
Executive terminates employment with the merged entity or purchaser (or
successor), as applicable. If the Executive is transferred to employment with a
subsidiary of the Trust (regardless of whether before, on, or after a Change in
Control), such transfer shall not constitute a termination of employment for
purposes of this Agreement, provided that the subsidiary agrees to assume this
Agreement and be substituted for the Trust under this Agreement (provided that
the subsidiary shall not be substituted for the Trust for purposes of defining
the term "Change in Control").

         6.       Severance Benefits. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 7
and 8 below, in the event of a Termination described in paragraph 5, in lieu of
the amount otherwise payable under paragraph 4:

         (a)      The Executive shall be entitled to the bonus(es) payable for
         the performance period(s) in which the date of the Executive's
         Termination occurs, with payment based on achievement of a target level
         of performance for the entire period (regardless of actual performance
         for the period); provided, however, that the amount of the bonus shall
         be subject to a pro-rata reduction to reflect the portion of the
         applicable performance period following the date of termination.
         Payment under this paragraph (a) shall be made at the regularly
         scheduled time for payment of such amounts to active employees.

         (b)      As of the date of Termination, the Executive shall be fully
         vested in all benefits accrued through the date of Termination under
         the ProLogis Trust Nonqualified Savings Plan, and all such benefits
         shall be payable in a lump sum not later than 10 days after the date of
         Termination.

         (c)      Any options to purchase stock of the Trust that are held by
         the Executive on the date of Termination shall vest and become
         immediately exercisable on such date.

         (d)      The Executive shall continue to receive medical insurance and
         life insurance coverage in accordance with paragraph 4(c) above for a
         period of period of 36 months after the date of Termination.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

         (e)      The Executive shall be entitled to a lump sum payment in cash
         no later than ten business days after the date of Termination equal to
         the sum of:

                  (i)      an amount equal to three times the Executive's annual
                  salary rate in effect immediately prior to the Employment
                  Period; and

                  (ii)     an amount equal to three times times the Executive's
                  target level of the annual bonus for the fiscal year in which
                  the date of Termination occurs.

         (f)      The Trust shall, for a period not to exceed twelve months,
         provide for standard outplacement services by any one qualified
         outplacement agency selected by the Trust.

Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in an amendment of this
paragraph 6 adopted in accordance with paragraph 15, the Executive's rights
under this paragraph 6 shall be in lieu of any benefits with respect to a
termination following a Change in Control that may be otherwise payable to or on
behalf of the Executive pursuant to the terms of any severance pay arrangement
of the Trust or any subsidiary or any other, similar arrangement of the Trust or
any subsidiary providing benefits upon involuntary termination of employment.

         7.       Make-Whole Payments. The following shall apply with respect to
amounts to or on behalf of the Executive:

         (a)      Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph 7, if
         any payment or benefit to which the Executive is entitled from the
         Trust, any affiliate, or trusts established by the Trust or by any
         affiliate (a "Payment") is subject to any tax under section 4999 of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any similar
         federal or state law (an "Excise Tax"), the Trust shall pay to the
         Executive an additional amount (the "Make Whole-Amount") which is equal
         to (i) the amount of the Excise Tax, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of
         any interest, penalties, fines or additions to any tax which are
         imposed in connection with the imposition of such Excise Tax, plus
         (iii) all income, excise and other applicable taxes imposed on the
         Executive under the laws of any Federal, state or local government or
         taxing authority by reason of the payments required under clause (i)
         and clause (ii) and this clause (iii).

         (b)      For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the
         Executive shall be deemed to be taxed at the highest marginal rate
         under all applicable local, state, federal and foreign income tax laws
         for the year in which the Make-Whole Amount is paid. The Make-Whole
         Amount payable with respect to an Excise Tax shall be paid by the Trust
         coincident with the Payment with respect to which such Excise Tax
         relates.

         (c)      All calculations under this paragraph 7 shall be made
         initially by the Trust and the Trust shall provide prompt written
         notice thereof to the Executive to enable the Executive to timely file
         all applicable tax returns. Upon request of the Executive, the Trust
         shall provide the Executive with sufficient tax and compensation data
         to enable the Executive

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

         or his tax advisor to independently make the calculations described in
         paragraph (b) above and the Trust shall reimburse the Executive for
         reasonable fees and expenses incurred for any such verification.

         (d)      If the Executive gives written notice to the Trust of any
         objection to the results of the Trust's calculations within 60 days of
         the Executive's receipt of written notice thereof, the dispute shall be
         referred for determination to tax counsel selected by the independent
         auditors of the Trust ("Tax Counsel"). The Trust shall pay all fees and
         expenses of such Tax Counsel. Pending such determination by Tax
         Counsel, the Trust shall pay the Executive the Make-Whole Amount as
         determined by it in good faith. The Trust shall pay the Executive any
         additional amount determined by Tax Counsel to be due under this
         paragraph 7 (together with interest thereon at a rate equal to 120% of
         the Federal short-term rate determined under section 1274(d) of the
         Code) promptly after such determination.

         (e)      The determination by Tax Counsel shall be conclusive and
         binding upon all parties unless the Internal Revenue Service, a court
         of competent jurisdiction, or such other duly empowered governmental
         body or agency (a "Tax Authority") determines that the Executive owes a
         greater or lesser amount of Excise Tax with respect to any Payment than
         the amount determined by Tax Counsel.

         (f)      If a Taxing Authority makes a claim against the Executive
         which, if successful, would require the Trust to make a payment under
         this paragraph 7, the Executive agrees to contest the claim on request
         of the Trust subject to the following conditions:

                  (i)      The Executive shall notify the Trust of any such
         claim within 10 days of becoming aware thereof. In the event that the
         Trust desires the claim to be contested, it shall promptly (but in no
         event more than 30 days after the notice from the Executive or such
         shorter time as the Taxing Authority may specify for responding to such
         claim) request the Executive to contest the claim. The Executive shall
         not make any payment of any tax which is the subject of the claim
         before the Executive has given the notice or during the 30-day period
         thereafter unless the Executive receives written instructions from the
         Trust to make such payment together with an advance of funds sufficient
         to make the requested payment plus any amounts payable under this
         paragraph 7 determined as if such advance were an Excise Tax, in which
         case the Executive will act promptly in accordance with such
         instructions.

                  (ii)     If the Trust so requests, the Executive will contest
         the claim by either paying the tax claimed and suing for a refund in
         the appropriate court or contesting the claim in the United States Tax
         Court or other appropriate court, as directed by the Trust; provided,
         however, that any request by the Trust for the Executive to pay the tax
         shall be accompanied by an advance from the Trust to the Executive of
         funds sufficient to make the requested payment plus any amounts payable
         under this paragraph 7 determined as if such advance were an Excise
         Tax. If directed by the Trust in writing the Executive will

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

         take all action necessary to compromise or settle the claim, but in no
         event will the Executive compromise or settle the claim or cease to
         contest the claim without the written consent of the Trust; provided,
         however, that the Executive may take any such action if the Executive
         waives in writing his right to a payment under this paragraph 7 for any
         amounts payable in connection with such claim. The Executive agrees to
         cooperate in good faith with the Trust in contesting the claim and to
         comply with any reasonable request from the Trust concerning the
         contest of the claim, including the pursuit of administrative remedies,
         the appropriate forum for any judicial proceedings, and the legal basis
         for contesting the claim. Upon request of the Trust, the Executive
         shall take appropriate appeals of any judgment or decision that would
         require the Trust to make a payment under this paragraph 7. Provided
         that the Executive is in compliance with the provisions of this
         paragraph (ii), the Trust shall be liable for and indemnify the
         Executive against any loss in connection with, and all costs and
         expenses, including attorneys' fees, which may be incurred as a result
         of, contesting the claim, and shall provide to the Executive within 30
         days after each written request therefor by the Executive cash advances
         or reimbursement for all such costs and expenses actually incurred or
         reasonably expected to be incurred by the Executive as a result of
         contesting the claim.

                  (iii)    Should a Tax Authority finally determine that an
         additional Excise Tax is owed, then the Trust shall pay an additional
         Make-Up Amount to the Executive in a manner consistent with this
         paragraph 7 with respect to any additional Excise Tax and any assessed
         interest, fines, or penalties. If any Excise Tax as calculated by the
         Trust or Tax Counsel, as the case may be, is finally determined by a
         Tax Authority to exceed the amount required to be paid under applicable
         law, then the Executive shall repay such excess to the Trust within 30
         days of such determination; provided that such repayment shall be
         reduced by the amount of any taxes paid by the Executive on such excess
         which is not offset by the tax benefit attributable to the repayment.

         8.       Withholding. All payments to the Executive under this
Agreement will be subject to all applicable withholding of state and federal
taxes.

         9.       Arbitration of All Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by
arbitration in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the laws of the State of
Colorado, by three arbitrators appointed by the parties. If the parties cannot
agree on the appointment of the arbitrators, one shall be appointed by the Trust
and one by the Executive and the third shall be appointed by the first two
arbitrators. If the first two arbitrators cannot agree on the appointment of a
third arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Chief
Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, except with respect to the selection of arbitrators
which shall be as provided in this paragraph 9. Judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

         10.      Legal and Enforcement Costs. This paragraph 10 shall apply if
it becomes necessary or desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel or
incur other costs and expenses in connection with either enforcing any and all
of his rights under this Agreement or defending against any allegations of
breach of this Agreement by the Trust:

         (a)      The Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Trust
         reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred by him in
         connection with such enforcement or defense.

         (b)      Payments required under this paragraph 10 shall be made by the
         Trust to the Executive (or directly to the Executive's attorney)
         promptly following submission to the Trust of appropriate documentation
         evidencing the incurrence of such attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses.

         (c)      The Executive shall be entitled to select his legal counsel;
         provided, however, that such right of selection shall not affect the
         requirement that any costs and expenses reimbursable under this
         paragraph 10 be reasonable.

         (d)      The Executive's rights to payments under this paragraph 10
         shall not be affected by the final outcome of any dispute with the
         Trust; provided, however, that to the extent that the arbitrators shall
         determine that under the circumstances recovery by the Executive of all
         or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust or
         inappropriate, the Executive shall not be entitled to such recovery;
         and to the extent that such amount have been recovered by the Executive
         previously, the Executive shall repay such amounts to the Trust.

         11.      Mitigation and Set-Off. The Executive shall not be required to
mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking
other employment or otherwise. The Trust shall not be entitled to set off
against the amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement any amounts
owed to the Trust by the Executive, any amounts earned by the Executive in other
employment after termination of his employment with the Trust, or any amounts
which might have been earned by the Executive in other employment had he sought
such other employment.

         12.      Notices. Notices and all other communications provided for in
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid
(provided that international mail shall be sent via overnight or two-day
delivery), or sent by facsimile or prepaid overnight courier to the parties at
the addresses set forth below (or such other addresses as shall be specified by
the parties by like notice). Such notices, demands, claims and other
communications shall be deemed given:

         (a)      in the case of delivery by overnight service with guaranteed
         next day delivery, the next day or the day designated for delivery;

                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

         (b)      in the case of certified or registered U.S. mail, five days
         after deposit in the U.S. mail; or

         (c)      in the case of facsimile, the date upon which the transmitting
         party received confirmation of receipt by facsimile, telephone or
         otherwise;

provided, however, that in no event shall any such communications be deemed to
be given later than the date they are actually received. Communications that are
to be delivered by the U.S. mail or by overnight service or two-day delivery
service to the Executive shall be to the last address he has filed in writing
with the Trust, and such deliveries to the Trust shall be to the following
address:

         ProLogis Trust
         14100 East 35th Place
         Aurora, Colorado  80011

All notices to the Trust shall be directed to the attention of the Chief
Financial Officer of the Trust, with a copy to the Secretary of the Trust.

         13.      Non-Alienation. The Executive shall not have any right to
pledge, hypothecate, anticipate or in any way create a lien upon any amounts
provided under this Agreement; and no benefits payable hereunder shall be
assignable in anticipation of payment either by voluntary or involuntary acts,
or by operation of law. Nothing in this paragraph 13 shall limit the Executive's
rights or powers to dispose of his property by will or limit any rights or
powers which his executor or administrator would otherwise have.

         14.      Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without
application of conflict of laws provisions thereunder.

         15.      Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or canceled by mutual
agreement of the parties in writing without the consent of any other person and,
so long as the Executive lives, no person, other than the parties hereto, shall
have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or the subject matter
hereof.

         16.      Successors to the Trust. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Trust and any successor of the Trust. The Trust
will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Trust to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Trust would be required to
perform it if no succession had taken place.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

         17.      Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of
this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby
and shall remain in full force and effect.

         18.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, any one of which shall be deemed the original without reference to
the others.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set his hand and,
pursuant to the authorization from its Board of Trustees, the Trust has caused
these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf, all as of the
Effective Date.
