         AMB PROPERTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called
the "Operating Partnership", which term includes any successor under the
Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the
Registered Holder specified on the face hereof or registered assigns ("Holder"),
upon presentation and surrender of this Note, on the Maturity Date specified on
the face hereof (except to the extent repaid or redeemed prior to the Maturity
Date) the Principal Amount specified on the face hereof in the Specified
Currency specified on the face hereof, and to pay interest thereon at the
Initial Interest Rate per annum specified on the face hereof until the Initial
Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof and, thereafter, at the rate
determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, depending on
the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof, until the principal hereof
is paid or duly made available for payment.

         The Operating Partnership will pay interest (other than defaulted
interest) on each Interest Payment Date, (as defined below) commencing with the
first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified on
the face hereof, to the person who is the Holder of this Note on the applicable
Regular Record Date (as defined below); provided that if the Original Issue Date
occurs between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date, the Operating
Partnership will make the first payment of interest on the Interest Payment Date
following the next Regular Record Date to the registered owner on that Regular
Record Date. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Regular Record
Date" with respect to this Note shall be the fifteenth calendar day immediately
preceding the related Interest Payment Date or Dates, whether or not such date
shall be a Business Day (as defined below).

         The Operating Partnership will pay interest due on the Maturity Date,
Redemption Date (as defined on the reverse hereof) or Repayment Date (as defined
on the reverse hereof), as applicable, to the same person to whom it is paying
the principal amount; provided that if the Operating Partnership would have made
a regular interest payment on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment
Date, as the case may be, it will make that regular interest payment to the
Holder as of the applicable Regular Record Date, even if it is not the same
person to whom it is paying the principal amount.

         Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on any
Regular Record Date, and shall be paid, at the election of the Operating
Partnership, to either (i) to the Holder at the close of business on a special
record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof), notice
whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than
10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or (ii) at any time in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which this Note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.

         Unless specified on the face hereof, payments of interest on this Note
with respect to any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or
Repayment Date, as applicable, will include interest accrued from and including
each immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or from and including the
Original Date of Issue if no interest has been paid or duly provided for), to,
but excluding, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or
Repayment Date, as the case may be. However, in case the interest rate on this
Note is reset daily or weekly, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
the interest payments will include interest accrued only from, but excluding,
the Regular Record Date through which interest has been paid (or from and
including the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid with respect to
this Note) through and including the Regular Record Date next preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date, except that the interest payment on the
Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as applicable, will include
interest accrued to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or
Repayment Date, as the case may be.

         Payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note
on any day, if the Holder of this Note is DTC (or its nominee or other
depository, a "Depository"), will be made in accordance with any

                                       1
<PAGE>

applicable provisions of such written agreement between the Operating
Partnership, the Trustee and the Depository (or its nominee) as may be in effect
from time to time. Otherwise payment of principal (and premium, if any) and
interest on, this Note on any day shall be payable and this Note may be
surrendered for the registration of transfer or exchange at the Office of the
Trustee, at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, unless the
Holder of this Note is notified otherwise; provided, however, that at the option
of the Operating Partnership, interest may be paid by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Operating Partnership's Security Register or by wire transfer, if proper wire
instructions are on file with the Trustee or are received at presentment, to an
account maintained by the payee located in the United States. Unless the Holder
of this Note is notified otherwise, the place where notices or demands to or
upon the Operating Partnership in respect of this Note and the Indenture may be
served shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee at 100 Wall Street,
Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005.

         To receive payment of a U.S. dollar denominated Note upon redemption
(if applicable) or at maturity, a Holder must make presentation and surrender of
such Note on or before the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. To
receive payment of a Note denominated in a Foreign Currency (as defined on the
reverse hereof) or composite currency upon redemption or at maturity, a Holder
must make presentation and surrender of such Note not less than two Business
Days prior to the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable. Upon
presentation and surrender of a Note denominated in a Foreign Currency or
composite currency at any time after the date two Business Days prior to the
Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, the Operating Partnership will
pay the principal amount (and premium, if any) of such Note, and any interest
due upon redemption or at maturity (unless the Redemption Date or Maturity Date
is an Interest Payment Date), two Business Days after such presentation and
surrender.

         For procedures relating to the receipt of payment upon repayment, if
applicable, see the reverse hereof.

         The Calculation Agent (which shall be U.S. Bank N.A., as successor to
State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A. unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, and which may be changed by the Operating
Partnership from time to time) will generally determine the Initial Interest
Rate as if the Original Issue Date of the Note were an Interest Reset Date. The
Interest Reset Dates and Interest Payment Dates, each specified on the face
hereof, are determined by the frequency with which the interest rate resents
(the "Interest Reset Frequency"). Interest will be payable, in the case of Notes
which reset daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month or on
the third Wednesday of each March, June, September and December of each year, as
specified on the face hereof; in the case of Notes which reset quarterly, on the
third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; in the case
of Notes which reset semi-annually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of
each year specified on the face hereof; and in the case of Notes which reset
annually, on the third Wednesday of the month specified on the face hereof (each
an "Interest Payment Date"), and in each case, on the Maturity Date.

         The Calculation Agent will compute the interest for each day in the
applicable interest period by dividing the interest rate applicable to each such
day by (i) 360 in the case of CD Rate Notes, Commercial Paper Rate Notes,
EURIBOR Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes or Prime Rate Notes, or
(ii) by the actual number of days in the year in the case of CMT Rate Notes or
Treasury Rate Notes. The interest factor for Notes for which the interest rate
is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases (as described
below) will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the
lowest of the applicable Interest Rates Bases applied.

         Except as specified on the face hereof, the Interest Reset Frequency on
this Note will be daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually,
as specified on the face hereof. Except as specified on the face hereof, if this
Note resets daily, the Interest Reset Date will be each Business Day; if this
Note resets weekly, the Interest Reset Date will be the Wednesday of each week
(with the exception of weekly

                                       2
<PAGE>

reset Treasury Rate Notes, which reset Tuesday of each week except as provided
below); if this Note resets monthly, the Interest Reset Date will be the third
Wednesday of each month; if this Note resets quarterly, the Interest Reset Date
will be the third Wednesday of each March, June, September and December of each
year; if this Note resets semi-annually, the Interest Reset Date will be the
third Wednesday of each of the two months of each year specified on the face
hereof; and if this Note resets annually, the Interest Reset Date will be the
third Wednesday of the month of each year as specified on the face hereof.

         The interest rate in effect on each day that is not an Interest Reset
Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date
(as specified on the face hereof) pertaining to the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Date and the interest rate in effect on any day that is an
Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest
Determination Date pertaining to such Interest Reset Date; provided, however,
that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue
Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate;
provided, further, that if this Note is a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note the
interest rate in effect for the period commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement
Date specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed
Interest Rate specified on the face hereof or, if no interest rate is specified,
the interest rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate
Commencement Date.

         If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, the Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note or a Note
for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls
in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date will be the
immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and an auction falls on the day that would be an
Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the first
Business Day after the auction.

         If an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date, Redemption
Date or Repayment Date) for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day,
the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next Business Day. However,
if the postponement would cause the Interest Payment Date for a LIBOR-based or a
EURIBOR-based Note to be in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date
will be moved to the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date or
Redemption Date or Repayment Date, if any, for a Note falls on a day that is not
a Business Day, principal and interest will be paid on the next Business Day;
provided that interest on the payment will not accrue for the period from the
original Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or Redemption Date or Repayment
Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next Business Day.

         "Business Day" as used herein means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The
City of New York or (y) for notes denominated in a specified currency other than
U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or euro, in the principal financial center of
the country of the specified currency or (z) for notes denominated in Australian
dollars, in Sydney, and (b) for notes denominated in euro, that is also a day on
which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer
System, which is commonly referred to as "TARGET," is operating.

         The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate on this Note on
or before each Calculation Date (as defined below) and, upon request, provide
the Holder of this Note the interest rate (the "Floating Interest Rate") then in
effect and, if different, the Floating Interest Rate which will become effective
as a result of a determination made for the next Interest Reset Date with
respect to this Note. The Calculation Agent's determination of any Floating
Interest Rate will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, the
"Calculation Date", where applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination
Date will be the earlier of (a) the tenth calendar day after such Determination
Date, or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business

                                       3
<PAGE>

Day, or (b) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

         Interest on this Note will be calculated by reference to the Interest
Rate Basis or Bases, specified on the face hereof, (a) plus or minus the Spread,
if any, specified on the face hereof, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread
Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Interest Rate Basis may be
one or more of: (1) the CD Rate, (2) the CMT Rate, (3) the Commercial Paper
Rate, (4) EURIBOR, (5) the Federal Funds Rate, (6) LIBOR, (7) the Treasury Rate,
(8) the Prime Rate or (9) such other Interest Rate Basis or interest rate
formula as is specified on the face hereof. The "Index Maturity" is the period
to maturity of the instrument or obligation with respect to which the related
Interest Rate Basis or Bases are calculated. Except as otherwise provided
herein, all percentages resulting from any interest rate calculation will be
rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g.,
9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all
U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation with be rounded
to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency or composite currency,
to the nearest unit (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

         Notwithstanding the other provisions herein, the Floating Interest Rate
hereon which may accrue during any interest period shall not be greater than the
Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any,
each as set forth on the face hereof, and, in addition, the Floating Interest
Rate shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York
law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

         The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:

                  (i)      Unless the Interest Category of this Note is
         specified on the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" or an
         "Inverse Floating Rate Note", this Note shall be designated as a
         "Regular Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below or on the
         face hereof, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to
         the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the
         Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any,
         in each case as specified on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial
         Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be
         payable shall be reset as of each Interest Rate Date specified on the
         face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for
         the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial
         Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

                  (ii)     If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on
         the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note", then, except as
         set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at
         the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis
         or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by
         the Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset
         Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be
         reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the
         interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue
         Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest
         Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on
         the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the
         Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified on the face
         hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest
         rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate
         Commencement Date.

                  (iii)    If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on
         the face hereof as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", then, except as set
         forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the
         Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the
         applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread,
         if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any;
         provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
         the interest

                                       4
<PAGE>

         rate hereon shall not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial
         Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable
         shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that
         the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original
         Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial
         Interest Rate.

Determination of CD Rate.

         "CD rate" means, for any Interest Determination Date, the rate on that
date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any
successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)."

         The following procedures will be followed if the CD rate cannot be
determined as described above:

         -        If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 9:00 a.m.,
                  New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD rate will
                  be the rate on that Interest Determination Date set forth in
                  the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world
                  wide website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
                  System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or
                  any successor site or publication, which is commonly referred
                  to as the "H.15 Daily Update," for the Interest Determination
                  Date for certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
                  specified on the face hereof, under the caption "CDs
                  (Secondary Market)."

         -        If the above rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or
                  the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
                  Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the CD
                  rate to be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered
                  rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest
                  Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in
                  negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of
                  New York selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation
                  with the Operating Partnership, for negotiable certificates of
                  deposit of major United States money center banks of the
                  highest credit standing in the market for negotiable
                  certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to
                  the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in an amount
                  that is representative for a single transaction in that market
                  at that time.

         -        If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not
                  quoting as set forth above, the CD rate will remain the CD
                  rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or,
                  if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
                  payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of CMT Rate.

         The "CMT rate" means, for any Interest Determination Date, the rate
displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page, as defined below, under the
caption "... Treasury Constant Maturities ... Federal Reserve Board Release
H.15... Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.," under the column for the Designated
CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

              (1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the
         Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051; and

              (2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately
         preceding the week in which the related Interest Determination Date
         occurs, if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052.

         The following procedures will be followed if the CMT rate cannot be
determined as described above:

         -        If that rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or
                  if not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
                  related Calculation Date, then the CMT rate will be the
                  Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT
                  Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).

                                       5
<PAGE>

         -        If the rate described in the immediately preceding sentence is
                  no longer published, or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New
                  York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT
                  rate will be the Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the
                  Designated CMT Maturity Index or other United States Treasury
                  rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest
                  Determination Date as may then be published by either the
                  Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United
                  States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent
                  determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on
                  the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant
                  H.15(519).

         -        If the information described in the immediately preceding
                  sentence is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
                  the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent will
                  determine the CMT rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the
                  arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side
                  prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on
                  the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their
                  written records, by three leading primary United States
                  government securities dealers, which is referred to as a
                  "reference dealer," in The City of New York, which may include
                  an agent or other affiliates of ours, selected by the
                  Calculation Agent as described in the following sentence. The
                  Calculation Agent will select five reference dealers, after
                  consultation with the Operating Partnership, and will
                  eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality,
                  one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event
                  of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued
                  direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United
                  States, which are commonly referred to as "Treasury notes,"
                  with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT
                  Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less
                  than that Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If two
                  Treasury notes with an original maturity as described above
                  have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the
                  Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury
                  note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.

         -        If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three Treasury notes
                  quotations as described in the immediately preceding sentence,
                  the Calculation Agent will determine the CMT rate to be a
                  yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the
                  secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30
                  p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date
                  of three reference dealers in The City of New York, selected
                  using the same method described in the immediately preceding
                  sentence, for Treasury notes with an original maturity equal
                  to the number of years closest to but not less than the
                  Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity
                  closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount
                  of at least $100,000,000.

         -        If three or four (and not five) of the reference dealers are
                  quoting as described above, then the CMT rate will be based on
                  the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither
                  the highest nor the lowest of those quotes will be eliminated.

         -        If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the
                  Calculation Agent are quoting as described above, the CMT rate
                  will be the CMT rate for the immediately preceding Interest
                  Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the
                  rate of interest payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

         "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate,
Inc., or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any
other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of
displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no page is
specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page will be 7052, or
its successor, for the most recent week.

         "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity
of the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either one, two, three, five, seven,
ten, 20 or 30 years, specified on the face hereof for which the CMT rate will be
calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT
Maturity Index will be two years.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         The "commercial paper rate" means, for any Interest Determination Date,
the money market yield, calculated as described below, of the rate on that date
for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as
that rate is published in H.15(519), under the heading "Commercial Paper --
Nonfinancial."

         The following procedures will be followed if the commercial paper rate
cannot be determined as described above:

         -        If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City
                  time, on the Calculation Date, then the commercial paper rate
                  will be the money market yield of the rate on that Interest
                  Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity
                  specified on the face hereof as published in the H.15 Daily
                  Update under the heading "Commercial Paper -- Nonfinancial."

         -        If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date
                  the rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15
                  Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will determine the
                  commercial paper rate to be the money market yield of the
                  arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New
                  York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three
                  leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York
                  selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the
                  Operating Partnership, for commercial paper of the Index
                  Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an
                  industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the
                  equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating
                  agency.

         -        If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not
                  quoting as mentioned above, the commercial paper rate for that
                  Interest Determination Date will remain the commercial paper
                  rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or,
                  if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
                  payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

         The "money market yield" will be a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula and expressed as a percentage:

                 Money Market Yield =  ----------- x 100
                                       360-(D x M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per year rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual
number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

EURIBOR Notes

         "EURIBOR" means, for any Interest Determination Date, the rate for
deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European
Banking Federation and ACI - The Financial Market Association, or any company
established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those
rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears
on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on page 248
or any other page as may replace page 248 on that service, which is commonly
referred to as "Telerate Page 248," as of 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time).

         The following procedures will be followed if the rate cannot be
determined as described above:

         -        If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent will
                  request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major
                  banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the
                  Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Operating
                  Partnership, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
                  rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m.
                  (Brussels time) on the interest determination date, to prime
                  banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity
                  specified on the face hereof on the applicable Interest Reset
                  Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent

<PAGE>

                  euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro,
                  in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are
                  provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of those
                  quotations.

         -        If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the
                  arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the
                  Euro-zone, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after
                  consultation with the Operating Partnership, at approximately
                  11:00 a.m. (Brussels time), on the applicable Interest Reset
                  Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period
                  of time equivalent to the Index Maturity specified on the face
                  hereof commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal
                  amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro.

         -        If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not
                  quoting as mentioned in the previous bullet point, the EURIBOR
                  rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as
                  EURIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period,
                  or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
                  interest will be the Initial Interest Rate.

         "Euro-zone" means the region comprised of member states of the European
Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing
the European Community, as amended by the treaty on European Union.

Determination of Federal Funds Rate.

         The "federal funds rate" means, for any Interest Determination Date,
the rate on that date for federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the
heading "Federal Funds (Effective)" as displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or
any successor service, on page 120 or any other page as may replace the
applicable page on that service, which is commonly referred to as "Telerate Page
120."

         The following procedures will be followed if the federal funds rate
cannot be determined as described above:

         -        If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City
                  time, on the Calculation Date, the federal funds rate will be
                  the rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in
                  the H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Federal
                  Funds/Effective Rate."

         -        If that rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the
                  H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
                  Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the
                  federal funds rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for
                  the last transaction in overnight federal funds by each of
                  three leading brokers of federal funds transactions in The
                  City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, after
                  consultation with the Operating Partnership, prior to 9:00
                  a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date.

         -        If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not
                  quoting as mentioned above, the federal funds rate relating to
                  that Interest Determination Date will remain the federal funds
                  rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or,
                  if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
                  payable will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Determination of LIBOR.

         The Calculation Agent will determine "LIBOR" for each Interest
Determination Date as follows:

         -        As of the Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be either:

         -        if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the
                  arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the index
                  currency having the Index Maturity designated on the face
                  hereof, commencing on the second London banking day
                  immediately following that Interest Determination Date, that
                  appear on the

                                       8
<PAGE>

                  Designated LIBOR Page, as defined below, as of 11:00 a.m.,
                  London time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least
                  two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page; except
                  that if the specified Designated LIBOR Page, by its terms
                  provides only for a single rate, that single rate will be
                  used; or

         -        if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, the rate
                  for deposits in the index currency having the Index Maturity
                  designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London
                  banking day immediately following that Interest Determination
                  Date or, if pounds sterling is the index currency, commencing
                  on that Interest Determination Date, that appears on the
                  Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
                  time, on that Interest Determination Date.

         -        If (1) fewer than two offered rates appear and "LIBOR Reuters"
                  is specified on the face hereof, or (2) no rate appears and
                  the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Telerate" or (y)
                  "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms
                  provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation Agent
                  will request the principal London offices of each of four
                  major reference banks in the London interbank market, as
                  selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the
                  Operating Partnership, to provide the Calculation Agent with
                  its offered quotation for deposits in the index currency for
                  the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
                  commencing on the second London banking day immediately
                  following the Interest Determination Date or, if pounds
                  sterling is the index currency, commencing on that Interest
                  Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank
                  market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that
                  Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is
                  representative of a single transaction in that index currency
                  in that market at that time.

         -        If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on
                  that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean
                  of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
                  provided, LIBOR will be determined for the applicable interest
                  reset date as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at
                  approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or some other time
                  specified on the face hereof, in the applicable principal
                  financial center for the country of the index currency on that
                  interest reset date, by three major banks in that principal
                  financial center selected by the Calculation Agent, after
                  consultation with the Operating Partnership, for loans in the
                  index currency to leading European banks, having the Index
                  Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal
                  amount that is representative of a single transaction in that
                  index currency in that market at that time.

         -        If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not
                  quoting as mentioned in the previous bullet point, LIBOR in
                  effect for the applicable period will be the same as LIBOR for
                  the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there
                  was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable
                  will be the Initial Interest Rate.

         The "index currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof as
the currency for which LIBOR will be calculated, or, if the euro is substituted
for that currency, the index currency will be the euro. If that currency is not
specified on the face hereof, the index currency will be U.S. dollars.

         "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is
designated on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates
Service, or any successor service, on the page specified on the face hereof (or
any other page as may replace the page on the service) for the purpose of
displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable index
currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated on the face hereof or neither
"LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is designated on the face hereof, the
display on Bridge Telerate Inc., or any successor service, on the page specified
on the face hereof, or any other page as may replace that page on that service,
for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the
applicable index currency.

Determination of Prime Rate.

         The "prime rate" means, for any Interest Determination Date, the rate
on that date as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan."

                                       9
<PAGE>

         The following procedures will be followed if the prime rate cannot be
determined as described above:

         -        If the rate is not published prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City
                  time, on the Calculation Date, then the prime rate will be the
                  rate on that Interest Determination Date as published in H.15
                  Daily Update under the heading "Bank Prime Loan."

         -        If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City
                  time, on the Calculation Date in either H.15(519) or the H.15
                  Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will determine the
                  prime rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest
                  publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters
                  Screen USPRIME 1 Page, as defined below, as that bank's prime
                  rate or base lending rate as in effect for that Interest
                  Determination Date.

         -        If fewer than four rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME
                  1 Page for that Interest Determination Date, the Calculation
                  Agent will determine the prime rate to be the arithmetic mean
                  of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of
                  days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on
                  that Interest Determination Date by at least three major banks
                  in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent,
                  after consultation with the Operating Partnership.

         -        If the banks selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the
                  prime rate will remain the prime rate for the immediately
                  preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest
                  Reset Period, the rate of interest payable will be the Initial
                  Interest Rate.

         "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as page
"USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor
service, or any other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for

                  referred to as "Treasury Bills," having the Index Maturity
                  specified on the face hereof as that rate appears under the
                  caption "INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Bridge Telerate,

                           MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES B
                                 (FLOATING RATE)

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of the
Operating Partnership (hereinafter called the "Securities") of the series
hereinafter specified, unlimited in aggregate principal amount, all issued or to
be issued under or pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental
Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture, each dated as of June 30, 1998,
the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 15, 2000 and the Fifth
Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 7, 2002, among the Operating Partnership,
AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation and general partner of the
Operating Partnership (the "Guarantor"), and U.S. Bank N.A., as successor to
State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee; to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (herein collectively called
the "Indenture") reference is hereby made for a specification of the rights and
limitation of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities, the rights and
obligations thereunder of the Operating Partnership and the rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee. The Securities may be issued in one or
more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption or repayment provisions (if any),
may be subject to different covenants and defaults and may otherwise vary as
provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated as "Series B
Medium-Term Notes" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notes") of the Operating
Partnership, of up to $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. All terms used
in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and which are not otherwise
defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and the Holders are referred
to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Note conflicts with the provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

         Unless stated to the contrary on the face hereof, this Note is issuable
only in registered form without coupons in Book-Entry form represented by one or
more global notes (each a "Global Note") recorded in the book-entry system
maintained by the Depository. If specified on the face hereof, this Note is
issuable in certificated form issued to, and registered in the name of, the
beneficial owner or its nominee (a "Certificated Note").

         Unless a different minimum Authorized Denomination is set forth on the
face hereof, this Note is issuable in minimum denominations of (i) if the
Specified Currency of this Note is U.S. dollars, U.S. $1,000 and in any larger
amount in integral multiples of $1,000 and (ii) if the Specified Currency of
this Note is a currency other than U.S. dollars (a "Foreign Currency") or is a
composite currency, the equivalent in such Foreign Currency or composite
currency determined in accordance with the Market Exchange Rate (as defined
below) for such Foreign Currency or composite currency on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which the Operating Partnership accepts an
offer to purchase a Note, of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of
1,000 units of the Foreign Currency or composite currency), and in any larger
amount in integral multiples of 1,000 units.

         If this is a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, this Note may
be transferred or exchanged only through DTC. In the manner and subject to the
limitations provided in the Indenture, if this is a Certificated Note, it may be
transferred or exchanged, without charge except for any tax or other
governmental charge imposed in relation thereto, for other Notes of authorized
denominations for a like

<PAGE>

aggregate principal amount, at the office or agency of the Operating Partnership
in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, or, at the option of the
Holder, such office or agency, if any, maintained by the Operating Partnership
in the city in which the principal executive offices of the Operating
Partnership are located or the city in which the principal corporate trust
office of the Trustee is located.

         The principal (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note is
payable by the Operating Partnership in the Specified Currency.

         If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in the event that
the Foreign Currency is not available for payment at a time at which any payment
is required hereunder due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Operating Partnership or is no longer
used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international
banking community, the Operating Partnership may, in full satisfaction of its
obligation to make such payment, make instead a payment in an equivalent amount
of U.S. dollars, determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, as specified on the face
hereof, on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency on
the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange
Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market
Exchange Rate; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by
a single European currency, the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on this Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in
the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures
taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European
Community, as amended by the treaty on European Unity. The "Market Exchange
Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City
of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for
customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in
U.S. dollars or a new single European currency where the required payment is in
a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars or such single European currency,
respectively, will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indenture).

         If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and if such composite
currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Operating Partnership, then the
Operating Partnership will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder
of this Note by making such payment in U.S. dollars. The amount of each payment
in U.S. dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
equivalent of the composite currency in U.S. dollars. The component currencies
of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the "Component
Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the currency amounts that
were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the
composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in U.S.
dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the
Component Currencies. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Component
Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency,
or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.

         If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of
combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component
Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more
Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of
those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such
single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component
Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is
divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component

                                       2
<PAGE>

Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the
sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.

         All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent
shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.

         If a Redemption Commencement Date is specified on the face hereof, this
Note may be redeemed, whether or not any other Note is concurrently redeemed, at
the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole, or from time to time in part,
on any Business Day on or after such Redemption Commencement Date and prior to
the Maturity Date, upon mailing by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice
of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the actual
date of redemption ("Redemption Date"), to the Holder of this Note at such
Holder's address appearing in the Security Register, as provided in the
Indenture (provided that, if the Holder of this Note is a Depository or a
nominee of a Depository, notice of such redemption shall be given in accordance
with any applicable provisions of such written agreement between the Operating
Partnership, the Trustee and such Depository (or its nominee) as may be in
effect from time to time), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together
in each case with interest accrued to the Redemption Date (subject to the right
of the Holder of record on a Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an
Interest Payment Date). The "Redemption Price" shall be equal to (i) the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified on the face of this Note, as adjusted downward
on each anniversary of the Redemption Commencement Date by the Annual Redemption
Price Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, multiplied by (ii) the
unpaid Principal Amount of this Note to be redeemed. In the event of redemption
of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series, and of like
tenor, for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

         If an Optional Repayment Date(s) is specified on the face hereof, this
Note will be subject to repayment by the Operating Partnership at the option of
the Holder hereof on such Optional Repayment Date(s), in whole or in part in
increments of U.S. $1,000 or other increments specified on the face hereof (as
long as any remaining principal is at least $1,000 or another specified minimum
denomination), at the Repayment Price specified on the face hereof, together
with unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date of repayment ("Repayment Date").
For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form
hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee at
the corporate trust office of the Trustee, at 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New
York, New York 10005 (or at such other address of which the Operating
Partnership shall from time to time designate and notify Holders of the Notes)
at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of
such repayment option by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of
repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid
portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

         If this is a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, only the
Depository may exercise the repayment option in respect of this Note.
Accordingly, if this is a Global Security representing Book-Entry Notes and the
beneficial owner desires to have all or any portion of the Book-Entry Note
represented by this Global Security repaid, the beneficial owner must instruct
the participant through which he owns his interest to direct the Depository to
exercise the repayment option on his behalf by delivering this Note and duly
completed election form to the Trustee as aforesaid.

         If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, as specified on the
face hereof, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of
(i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of
the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Discount, as defined below) multiplied, in the event of any redemption or
repayment of this Note (if applicable), by the Redemption Price or Repayment
Price, as the case may be, and (ii) any unpaid interest on this Note accrued
from the Original Issue Date to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of
acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between the Issue
Price, as specified on the face hereof, and 100% of the principal amount of this
Note is referred to herein as the "Discount".

         For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as
of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of
this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note to
be constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day
year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as
defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment
Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an assumption that
the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the
Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period")
is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of
the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial
Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided
into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period
being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

         In case a default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the principal amount of all Notes then
outstanding under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable
upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be
annulled by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
outstanding.

         To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, the
Operating Partnership may enter into one or more supplements to the Indenture
for the purpose of modifying or altering the Indenture, without the consent of
any Holders of Notes, for the limited purposes described in the Indenture.

         To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, the
Operating Partnership may enter into one or more supplements to the Indenture
for the purpose of modifying or altering the rights and obligations of the
Operating Partnership and the Holders of the Securities (as defined in the
Indenture) with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of all Outstanding Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of
any series affected, evidenced as provided in the Indenture.

         The Indenture contains provisions for legal defeasance and covenant
defeasance with respect to the Notes, in each case, upon compliance with certain
conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

         The Operating Partnership, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any
paying agent and any Security registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder
hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or other writing hereon by anyone
other than the Operating Partnership or any Security registrar) for the purpose
of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof (and premium, if
any), and interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and none of the Operating
Partnership, the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent, a paying agent nor the
Security registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such
payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability
upon this Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

         No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the
Indenture or of this Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder,
officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Operating
Partnership or

                                       4

the Guarantor or of any successor entity, either directly or through the
Operating Partnership or the Guarantor, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise; it being expressly understood that the Indenture and this Note are
solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall
attach to, or is or shall be incurred by the incorporators, partners,
stockholders, officers or directors, as such, of the Operating Partnership or
the Guarantor or of any successor entity, or any of them, because of the
creation of the indebtedness authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason
of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or this
Note or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either
at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, or any and all such
rights and claims against, every such incorporator, partner, stockholder,
officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness
authorized by the Indenture, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants
or agreements contained in the Indenture or this Note or implied therefrom, are,
by acceptance of this Note, hereby expressly waived and released as a condition
of, and as consideration for, the issue of this Note. In the event of any sale
or transfer of its assets and liabilities substantially as an entirety to a
successor entity, the predecessor entity may be dissolved and liquidated as more
fully set forth in the Indenture.

         All U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from calculations referred
to in this Note shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one half cent being
rounded upwards).

         THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

acceleration, by redemption or repayment or otherwise, and as if such payment
were made by the Operating Partnership. The undersigned hereby agrees, jointly
and severally with the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, that its obligations
hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as surety, and shall be absolute
and unconditional, and shall not be affected, modified or impaired by the
following: (a) the failure to give notice to the Guarantors of the occurrence of
an Event of Default under the Indenture; (b) the waiver, surrender, compromise,
settlement, release or termination of the payment, performance or observance by
the Operating Partnership or the Guarantors of any or all of the obligations,
covenants or agreements of either of them contained in the Indenture or any
Note; (c) the acceleration, extension or any other changes in the time for

delay or lack on the part of the Trustee to enforce, assert or exercise any
right, power or remedy conferred on the Trustee in the Indenture, or any other
action or acts on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders from time to
time of any Note; (g) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,

contest of the validity of this Parent Guarantee in any such proceeding; (h) to
the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the
Guarantors from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or
agreement contained in the Indenture; (i) to the extent permitted by law, the
release or discharge by operation of law of the Operating Partnership from the

affecting the Operating Partnership or any Note or consent or indulgence granted
to the Operating Partnership by the Holders or by the Trustee; or (m) the
recovery of any judgment against the Operating Partnership or any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The undersigned hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of merger, sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of its
assets,

<PAGE>

insolvency or bankruptcy of any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, any
right to require a proceeding first against any other Guarantor or the Operating
Partnership, protest or notice with respect to such Note or the indebtedness
evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Parent
Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in such Note and in this Parent Guarantee.

         No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Parent
Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the
undersigned, which is absolute and unconditional, of the full and prompt payment
of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Note.

         THIS PARENT GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         This Parent Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until the certificate of authentication on the Note shall have been executed by
the Trustee under the Indenture referred to above by the manual signature of one
of its authorized officers. The validity and enforceability of this Parent
Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any
particular Note.

         An Event of Default under the Indenture or any Note shall constitute an
event of default under this Parent Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holder of
the Note to accelerate the obligations of the undersigned hereunder in the same
manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Operating Partnership.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Parent Guarantee to the
contrary, the undersigned hereby waives any claims or other rights which it may
now have or hereafter acquire against any other Guarantor or the Operating
Partnership that arise from the existence or performance of its obligations
under this Parent Guarantee (all such claims and rights are referred to as
"Guarantor's Conditional Rights"), including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any
right to participate in any claim or remedy against any Guarantor or the
Operating Partnership, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder
or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from
any Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, in cash or
other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on
account of such claim or other rights. The undersigned hereby agrees not to
exercise any rights which may be acquired by way of contribution under this
Parent Guarantee or any other agreement, by any payment made hereunder or
otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any
other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff
or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution
rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid
to the undersigned on account of the Guarantor's Conditional Rights and either
(i) such amount is paid to such undersigned party at any time when the
indebtedness shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (ii) regardless
of when such amount is paid to such undersigned party, any payment made by any
Guarantor or the Operating Partnership to a Holder that is at any time
determined to be a Preferential Payment (as defined below), then such amount
paid to the undersigned shall be held in trust for the benefit of such Holder
and shall forthwith be paid such Holder to be credited and applied upon the
indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured. Any such payment is herein referred
to as a "Preferential Payment" to the extent any Guarantor or the Operating
Partnership makes any payment to such Holder in connection with the Note, and
any or all of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid or paid over to a
trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or
otherwise.

<PAGE>

         To the extent that any of the provisions of the immediately preceding
paragraph shall not be enforceable, the undersigned agrees that until such time
as the indebtedness has been paid and performed in full and the period of time
has expired during which any payment made by any Guarantor, the Operating
Partnership or the undersigned to a Holder may be determined to be a
Preferential Payment, Guarantor's Conditional Rights to the extent not validly
waived shall be subordinate to Holders' right to full payment and performance of
the indebtedness and the undersigned shall not enforce any of Guarantor's
Conditional Rights until such time as the indebtedness has been paid and
performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment
made by any Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or the undersigned to Holders
may be determined to be a Preferential Payment.

         The obligations of the undersigned to the Holder of the Note and to the
Trustee pursuant to this Parent Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set
forth in Article 14 of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the
Indenture for the precise terms of this Parent Guarantee and all of the other
provisions of the Indenture to which this Parent Guarantee relates.

         Capitalized terms used in this Parent Guarantee which are not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Parent Guarantee to
be duly executed.

the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is 40,000,000. Each share

Stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is 2,000,000. The

         Subject to the limitations hereinafter contained and to the
requirements of the laws of the State of Kentucky, authority is hereby vested in
the Board of Directors of the Corporation to issue said 2,000,000 shares of the
Class A Preferred Stock in one or more series and by resolution or resolutions
(any such resolution being hereinafter called the "authorizing resolution"):

                           (i)      to fix the distinctive serial designation of
the shares of any such series,

<PAGE>

                           (ii)     to fix the rate or amount per annum at which
the holders of the shares of any series shall be entitled to receive dividends
and the dates on which such dividends shall be payable,

                           (iii)    to determine whether the dividends payable
to the holders of shares of any series shall be cumulative, and, if so, to fix
the date or dates from which such dividends shall be cumulative,

                           (iv)     to determine whether the shares of any such
series may be redeemed, and to fix the price or prices at which the times during
which, and other terms upon which the shares of any such series may be redeemed,

                           (v)      to fix the amounts payable on the shares of
any series in the event of dissolution or liquidation of the corporation,

                           (vi)     from time to time to include additional
shares of Class A Preferred stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue
in any such series,

                           (vii)    to determine whether the shares of any such
series shall be made convertible into or exchangeable for other securities of
the Corporation, including shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation or
shares of any other series of the Class A Preferred Stock of the Corporation,
now or hereafter authorized, or any new class of preferred stock of the
Corporation hereafter authorized, the conversion price or prices or the rate or
rates of exchange at which such conversion or exchange may be made, and the
terms and conditions upon which any such conversion right or exchange right
shall be exercised,

                           (viii)   to determine whether a sinking fund shall be
provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of any series and, if so, to
fix the terms and amount or amounts of such sinking fund,

                           (ix)     to determine whether the shares of any such
series shall have voting rights, and, if so, to fix the voting rights of the
shares of such series, and

                           (x)      to fix such other preferences and rights
privileges and restrictions applicable to any such series as may be permitted by
law.

         So long as any of the Class A Preferred Stock is outstanding, no
dividend shall be declared or paid and no distribution shall be made on the
Common Stock of the Corporation until the full cumulative dividends on all
series of Class A Preferred Stock up to the end of the then quarterly dividend
period shall have been declared and paid or shall have been declared and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof appropriated and set aside for the payment
thereof by the Board of Directors. Accumulations of dividends on the Class A
Preferred Stock shall not bear interest.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         The Class A Preferred Stock shall be preferred as to both earnings and
assets, and in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the holders of each series of Class A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, before any distribution shall be made on the Common Stock
of the Corporation, the amount or amounts which shall be fixed by this Article
IV or in the authorizing resolution establishing such series, plus in every such
case, the holders of each series of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive a sum equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends which shall have
accrued on the Class A Preferred Stock up to the date of payment of the final
amount due thereon. Such amounts shall be payable out of the capital and surplus
of the Corporation. The rights of any series of Class A Preferred Stock in the
event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the affairs of the Corporation as provided for in this Article IV or in the
authorizing resolution for any such series shall not at any time prior to the
occurrence or authorization of any of said events, restrict or prevent the
Corporation from paying, from retained earnings or other funds legally available
therefor, dividends on its Common Stock or any other class of its capital stock
in such amounts as the Board of Directors may from time to time, determine, if
the payment of such dividends at the time of payment thereof is not restricted
by any other terms or provisions of any series of the Class A Preferred Stock.

         Except as may be otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, each
share of Class A Preferred Stock shall be identical with each other share of
said stock. If the amount determined by the Board of Directors to be declared
and paid as dividends on each series of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be
insufficient to pay the full dividend, including accumulations on any series of
the Class A Preferred Stock, on all outstanding shares of each class, all
dividend payments made upon all shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be made
ratably upon all such outstanding shares in proportion to the respective amounts
of the dividends accrued thereon to the respective dates of such dividend
payments. If the amount available for payment to the holders of each series of
Class A Preferred Stock upon liquidation or upon any of the other events
specified herein shall be insufficient to pay the full preferential amounts to
which such holders are respectively entitled as provided herein, the entire net
distributable assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably to all
outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full
preferential amounts to which such shares are respectively entitled.

         Subject to the terms of the authorizing resolution establishing each
series of the Class A Preferred Stock, the whole or any part of any series of
redeemable Class A Preferred Stock may, at the option of the Board of Directors,
be redeemed at any time or from time to time, at the redemption price or prices
fixed by the authorizing resolution establishing such series, which in every
such case shall include an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends
which shall have accrued on the shares to be redeemed up to the redemption date.
No shares of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless at or prior to
the date fixed for the redemption thereof all declared dividends and all
cumulative dividends on all other outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock
up to the quarterly dividend date next preceding the date fixed for redemption
shall have been paid or a sum sufficient for the payment thereof appropriated
and set apart for such payment. If less than the whole of any series of the
Class A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed at any time, the stock so to be
redeemed shall be selected by

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Board of Directors by lot in such manner as it may determine; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may select which series may be redeemed in
whole or in part.

                  (c)      Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. Of the
2,000,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock authorized by Article IV, paragraph
(b), 1,000,000 shares shall be designated Series B Junior Participating
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). Such number of shares may be
increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided that no
decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to a
number less than that of the shares then outstanding plus the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of outstanding rights, options, or warrants or upon
the conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.

                  Section 1.        Dividends and Distributions.

                  (A)      Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of
         any series of preferred stock of the Corporation ranking prior and
         superior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the
         holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in preference to the
         holders of shares of Common Stock, no par per share (the "Common
         Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be
         entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
         out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends
         payable in-cash on any regular quarterly dividend payment date as shall
         be established by the Board of Directors (each such date being referred
         to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the
         first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a
         share or fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, in an amount
         per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a)
         $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
         forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends,
         and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all
         non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend
         payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding
         shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on
         the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend
         Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
         Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of
         Series B Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any
         time after November 17, 1998 (the "Rights Declaration Date's declare or
         pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
         or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise
         than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater
         or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
         amount to which holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock were
         entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the
         preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
         Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of
         which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
         immediately prior to such event.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (B)      The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
         distribution on the Series B Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph
         (A) of this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or
         distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in
         shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or
         distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the
         period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next
         subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per
         share on the Series B Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on
         such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

                  (C)      Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
         outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the Quarterly
         Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares,
         unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for
         the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on
         such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such
         shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment
         Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of
         holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive a
         quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in
         either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be
         cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but
         unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares
         of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of
         such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be
         allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at
         the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may, in accordance with
         applicable law, fix a record date for the determination of holders of
         shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a
         dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be
         not more than such number of days prior to the date fixed for the
         payment thereof as may be allowed by applicable law.

                  Section 2.        Voting Rights. The holders of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

                  (A)      Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle
the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the
shareholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
after the Rights Declaration Date declare or pay any dividend on the Common
Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination
or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
number of votes to which holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock were
entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

<PAGE>

                  (B)      Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common
Stock, and the holders of shares of any other capital stock of the Corporation
having general voting rights, shall vote together as one class on all matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

                  (C)      Except as otherwise set forth herein, and except as
otherwise provided by law, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no
special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the
extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth
herein) for taking any corporate action.

                  Section 3.        Certain Restrictions.

                  (A)      Whenever dividends or distributions payable on the
Series B Preferred Stock as provided in Section 1 are in arrears, thereafter and
until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not
declared, on shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid
in full, the Corporation shall not:

                           (i)      declare or pay dividends on, make any other
         distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
         consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
         dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series
         B Preferred Stock;

                           (ii)     declare or pay dividends on or make any
         other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either
         as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with
         the Series B Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the
         Series B Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends
         are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which
         the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

                           (iii)    except as permitted in Section 3(A)(iv)
         below, redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares
         of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
         liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Preferred
         Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase
         or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for
         shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
         dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series
         B Preferred Stock; and

                           (iv)     purchase or otherwise acquire for
         consideration any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or any shares of
         stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, except in
         accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as
         determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares
         upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the
         respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and
         preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in
         good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the
         respective series or classes.

<PAGE>

                  (B)      The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of
the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of
this Section 3, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.

                  Section 4.        Reacquired Shares.

                  Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and
canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. The Corporation shall cause all
such shares upon their cancellation to be authorized but unissued shares of
Class A Preferred Stock that may be reissued as part of a new series of Class A
Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set
forth herein or in any other Articles of Amendment creating a series of Class A
Preferred Stock or as otherwise required by law.

                  Section 5.        Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

                  (A)      Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of
any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to
the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation, upon any liquidation
(voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no
distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior
(either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
Series B Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock shall have received $100.00 per share, plus an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared,
to the date of such payment (the "Series B Liquidation Preference"). Following
the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no
additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock
shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series B Liquidation Preference by (ii)
100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph C below to reflect
such events as stock dividends, and subdivisions, combinations and
consolidations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii)
being referred to as the "Adjustment Number"). Following the payment of the full
amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in
respect of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock,
respectively, holders of Series B Preferred Stock and holders of shares of
Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the
remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1
with respect to such Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share
basis, respectively.

                  (B)      In the event there are not sufficient assets
available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and
the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any,
which rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, then such remaining
assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in
proportion to

                                       7
<PAGE>

their respective liquidation preferences. In the event there are not sufficient
assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such
remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

                  (C)      In the event the Corporation shall at any time after
the Rights Declaration Date declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

                  Section 6.        Consolidation, Merger, etc.

                  In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation,
merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are
exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other
property, then in any such case the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall at
the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the
aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable
in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock
is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after
the Rights Declaration Date declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or
change of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying
such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately
prior to such event.

                  Section 7.        Redemption.

                  The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable.

                  Section 8.        Ranking.

                  The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other
series of the Corporation's Class A Preferred Stock as to the payment of
dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series
shall provide otherwise.

                  Section 9.        Fractional Shares.

                  Series B Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share
which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional
shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in
distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series B
Preferred Stock.

                                    ARTICLE V

         The holders of the shares of Common Stock or of any series of the Class
A Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall have no preemptive right to acquire
unissued or treasury shares of the corporation or securities of the Corporation
convertible into or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire shares; and any
and all such preemptive rights are hereby expressly denied to the Common Stock
and to each series of the Class A Preferred Stock.

                                   ARTICLE VI

Board of Directors. The number of directors to be elected at the 1989 Annual
Meeting shall be seven (7). Thereafter the number of Directors may be fixed or
changed by resolution of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Kentucky
Business Corporation Act. The name and address of the person who was the initial
director is Clifford R. Borland, 805 Rosewood Drive, Crescent Springs, Kentucky

                                   ARTICLE VII

         At such time as the number of directors fixed pursuant to Article VI
hereof shall be nine (9) or more directors, the Board of Directors, by
resolution, may divide the Board of Directors into three classes, as nearly
equal in number as possible. In the event of any increase in the number of
directors, the additional director(s) shall be added to such class(es) as may be
necessary so that all classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. In
the event of any decrease in the number of directors, all classes of directors
shall be decreased as nearly equally as may be possible, but in no event shall
the Board of Directors continue to be divided into classes if the number of
directors is decreased below nine (9). Subject to the foregoing, the Board of
Directors shall determine the class(es) to which any additional director(s)
shall be added and the class(es) which shall be decreased in the event of any
decrease in the number of directors. At each annual meeting of shareholders the
successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be
elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting after such
election. The vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of
all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote shall be required
to amend this Article VII.
