                                   Appendix A

                                   Definitions

     For purposes of this Memorandum, the following definitions are set forth
below:

          (i) "Cause" means that the Company provides you with a Notice of
Termination for either of the following reasons: (a) the willful and continued
failure by you substantially to perform your material duties (other than any
such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness)
after written demand for substantial performance of such duties is delivered to
you by the Board of Directors, which demand identifies the manner in which the
Board of Directors believes that you have not substantially performed your
duties and you have been given a reasonable period of time (but in no event more
than 60 days) to correct your deficient performance; or (b) your engaging in
egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude to such an extent that,
in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, such misconduct
substantially impairs your ability to perform your duties with the Company. For
purposes of clause (a) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on your
part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by you
without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest
of the Company.

          (ii) A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
happening of any of the following events:

               (a) the acquisition or holding of the Company, by any individual,
entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (an
"Acquiror") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of the combined voting power
of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and other stock of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding
Company Voting Securities"), but excluding for this purpose any such acquisition
(or holding) by (i) the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company;
(ii) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or any
corporation controlled by the Company; (iii) any acquisition or ownership by an
Acquiror of 25% of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities as a result of an
acquisition of common stock or voting securities by the Company which, by
reducing the number of shares of the Company's common stock or voting securities
outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by
such Acquiror to 25% or more of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities;
provided, however, that if an Acquiror shall become the beneficial owner of 25%
or more of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities by reason of a share
acquisition by the Company as described above and shall, after such share
acquisition by the Company, become the beneficial owner of any additional shares
of common stock or voting securities of the Company, then such acquisition shall
constitute a Change of Control; or (iv) any corporation with respect to which,
following such acquisition, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock of such corporation and the

<PAGE>

Page 7 of 8

combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such
corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such acquisition in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such
acquisition, of the then Outstanding Company Voting Securities;

                (b) individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board
of Directors (the "Continuing Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority of the Board, provided that any individual becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the
stockholders of Company, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
persons then comprising the Continuing Directors shall be considered a
Continuing Director, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose
initial election as a member of the Board is in connection with an actual or
threatened "election contest" relating to the election of the directors of the
Company (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under
the Exchange Act); or

                (c) consummation by the Company of (1) a reorganization, merger
or consolidation of the Company, with respect to which in each case all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the respective
beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior
to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly and
indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
corporation or other entity resulting from such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, or (2) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or
(3) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company.

          (iii) "Date of Termination" means the effective date specified in the
Notice of Termination as of which your employment terminates or, in the event of
termination of employment other than for Cause, the date as of which your
employment is to terminate pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.1 of this
Memorandum.

          (iv)  "Disability" means that (i) you have a physical or mental
condition that renders you incapable, after reasonable accommodation, of
performing your duties; (ii) such condition is reasonably determined by the
Chief Executive Officer to be of a long-term nature; and (iii) you are eligible
for income replacement benefits under the Company's long-term disability plan
during such period of disability.

          (v)   "Notice of Termination" means a notice of a proposed termination
by the Company with a written explanation to you of the grounds for such
proposed termination.

          (vi)  "Good Reason" exists if, without your express written consent,
any of the following occurs:

<PAGE>

Page 8 of 8

                (A) the Company reduces your Base Salary as in effect from time
to time; or

                (B) an assigning of duties to you that are a reduction in any
substantial respect from your position, authority, or responsibilities as of
September 30, 2000; or

                (C) the Company's failure to fulfill the Company's obligations
under this Memorandum; or

                (D) the Company's intentional failure, without your consent, to
pay to you any portion of your Base Salary, earned bonus, or other current
compensation (if any), or to pay to you any portion of any installment of
deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program within ten
business days of the date such compensation is due or to issue shares of the
Company's Common Stock in accordance with the terms of stock options granted to
you upon valid exercise thereof; or

                (E) a relocation of your current place of employment or
requirement for you to be based anywhere other than the City of San Francisco;
or

                (F) the Company does not allow you to devote reasonable time to
activities other than those required under this Memorandum, including
supervision of personal investments and activities involving professional,
charitable, educational, political, religious and similar types of
organizations, speaking engagements, memberships of boards of directors of other
organizations and similar activities, provided that you shall not serve on the
board of directors of any other business or hold any other position with any
business without the consent of the Chief Executive Officer; or

                (G) the failure of any successor entity in a Change of Control
to continue this Memorandum in effect and assume the Company's obligations and
responsibilities hereunder.Exhibit 10.30

DATE:      October 4, 2002

SUBJECT:   Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding
           regarding Employment

         This Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding ("Amendment") sets forth
additional terms of your employment with Catellus Development Corporation (the
"Company") and amends your Memorandum of Understanding dated December 12, 2001
("MOU"). The MOU and this Amendment are collectively referred to herein as this
"Memorandum". The Memorandum supersedes, in their entirety, all previous
agreements and understandings concerning your employment excepting your
Indemnity Agreement dated March 21, 2002 and any stock option agreements you
have with the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of the Memorandum
regarding vesting of stock options in the event of termination of your
employment shall supersede such provisions of your stock option agreements.

         Effective upon your execution of this Amendment, the following
provisions shall govern your employment with the Company.

     1.    Termination of Employment upon a Change of Control. Section 10.3(c)
           of the MOU shall be restated in its entirety to read as follows:

           (c) in lieu of any further salary payments to you for periods
     subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to you a lump
     sum payment in an amount which is equal to two (2) times your Average
     Salary and Bonus, as defined in Appendix A-1 attached hereto and made a
     part hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
     the event of a Change of Control shall occur on or prior to December 31,
     2003, you shall be paid an amount which is equal to two (2) times your then
     current annual salary and the annual maximum cash bonus potential for the
     year in which your employment terminates.

           You shall be entitled to refuse all or any portion of any payments or
     benefits under the Memorandum if you determine that receipt of such payment
     or benefit may result in adverse tax consequences to you under Section 4999
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company shall be
     totally and permanently relieved of any obligation to pay any amounts or
     provide any benefits which you explicitly refuse in writing.

         2. Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Memorandum constitutes the entire
agreement between you and the Company. No amendments to the Memorandum may be
made except by writing signed by you and the Company.
