and otherwise for the operation of the LLC's business.

     3.3 Interests.
         ----------

     In the event of dissolution of the LLC, no Member shall have an interest in
specific LLC Property. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no additional
Membership Interest or other ownership interest of any kind or nature in the LLC
(including any interest convertible into a Membership Interest) may be issued or
transferred without the unanimous consent of the Members.

     3.4 Status of Capital Contributions.
         --------------------------------

         3.4.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Member's
Capital Contributions may be returned, in whole or in part, at any time, only
with the approval of all of the authorized number of Managers.

         3.4.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no return of a Member's Capital
Contribution shall be made hereunder if such distribution would violate
applicable law.

         3.4.3 No Member shall receive any interest, salary or drawing with
respect to its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or for services
rendered to or on behalf of the LLC or otherwise in its capacity as a Member or
otherwise, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

         3.4.4 Except as otherwise provided by applicable law and subject to
Section 3.5 hereof, the Members shall be liable only to make those Capital
Contributions as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof. After such Capital
Contributions have been fully made pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.5 hereof, no
Member shall be required to make any additional capital contributions at any
time to the LLC.

     3.5 Financing and Additional Capital.
         ---------------------------------

         3.5.1 The Managers shall in good faith endeavor to secure financing for
the LLC in such amounts and under such terms and conditions as the Managers deem
in the best interest of the LLC.

                                       6

<PAGE>

         3.5.2 Each Member may be required to contribute additional capital to
the LLC in accordance with this Section 3.5.2 ("Additional Contributions"). In
the event that a majority of the authorized number of Managers determines that
additional capital is required or advisable for the operation of the LLC, the
Managers may give written notice (the "Call Notice") to each Member stating the
aggregate amount of the Additional Contribution and each Member's share of the
Additional Contribution based on its respective Membership Interest; provided
that Additional Contributions in excess of $l,OOO,OOO in the aggregate during
the term of this Agreement shall require the consent of all of the authorized
number of Managers. Each Member shall within fifteen (15) days from the date of
delivery of the Call Notice (the "Call Period") contribute to the LLC, in
immediately available funds to an account designated in the Call Notice, its
ratable share of the Additional Contribution.

         3.5.3 If a Member fails to contribute an amount equal to its ratable
share of the Additional Contribution within the Call Period (the "Failing
Member"), and if the other Member (the "Non-Failing Member") has made its entire
required contribution, then the Non-Failing Member may, but need not, (a)
withdraw from the LLC its most recent ratable contribution made pursuant to this
Section 3.5, in which case the LLC shall promptly repay the amount of such
withdrawn contribution to the Non-Failing Member, and/or (b) make a loan to the
LLC (a "Member Loan") in an amount equal to (i) some or all of the contribution
which the Failing Member failed to make pursuant to this Section 3.5 and/or (ii)
the contribution made by the Non-Failing Member, in which the case the
contribution theretofore made by the Non-Failing Member shall be deemed instead
to be part of the funds advanced in connection with making such Member Loan. If
made, a Member Loan shall be due on demand, and shall bear interest at the rate
of the lower of five (5) percentage points above the Prime Rate compounded
annually or the highest lawful rate, with interest payable on the first day of
each and every month following the making of the Member Loan.

         3.5.4 Until such time as the Member Loan is repaid in full,
distributions to which the Failing Member would otherwise be entitled shall be
paid to the Non-Failing Member and shall be deducted from the balance owing on
the Member Loan. Until the Member Loan has been fully repaid, the Non-Failing
Member which made such Member Loan shall have a lien on the Failing Member's
Membership Interest as collateral for such repayment.

         3.5.5 Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall make any
capital contribution to the LLC, and the LLC shall not accept any capital
contribution nor shall it issue any additional Membership Interests.

     3.6 Capital Accounts.
         -----------------

         3.6.1 An individual Capital Account shall be established and maintained
for each Member. The original Capital Account established for any Member who
acquires a Membership Interest by virtue of an assignment or transfer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be a pro-rata part of the
Capital Account of the assignor represented by such percentage of the Membership
Interest as is assigned to such assignee, and, for purposes of this Agreement,
such Member shall be deemed to have made a proportionate amount of the

                                       7

<PAGE>

Capital Contributions made by the assignor of such Membership Interest (or made
by any of such assignor's predecessors in interest).

         3.6.2 The Capital Account of each Member shall be maintained in
accordance with the following provisions:

               (a) to such Member's Capital Account, there shall be credited the
     amount of any cash, and the fair market value (as determined in good faith
     by a majority of the authorized number of Managers) of any other property
     contributed by such Member to the capital of the LLC, such Member's
     distributive share of Profits and the amount of any LLC liabilities that
     are expressly assumed by such Member or that are secured by any LLC
     Property distributed to such Member;

               (b) to such Member's Capital Account, there shall be debited the
     amount of cash and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by a
     majority of the authorized number of Managers) of any LLC Property
     distributed to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement,
     such Member's distributive share of Losses and the amount of any
     liabilities of such Member that are assumed by the LLC or that are secured
     by any property contributed by such Member to the LLC;

               (c) from time to time as they deem appropriate, a majority of the
     authorized number of Managers may make such modification to the manner in

allocations shall be made by a majority of the authorized number of Managers in
any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

 ARDEN REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 
  
 PROMISSORY NOTE

  
             Los Angeles, California 
  
             
                                    , 2001 
  
           FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,
            , an individual (“Borrower”), promises to pay to Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership (“Lender”) the principal amount of
             Dollars ($            ), with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance under this Note at the
rate of             % per annum (on the basis of a 365–day year and the actual number of days elapsed).            

  
           1.    Maturity
Date.    The unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on             . The unpaid principal
balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable within one hundred eighty (180) days following the termination of Borrower’s employment with Lender for any reason, other than death or Disability
(as defined below). 
  
           2.    Interest
Payments.    Accrued interest shall be paid to Lender on              and              each year.
Interest payments shall continue until the principal amount hereunder has been repaid in full or this Note is otherwise terminated. 
  
           3.    Forgiveness Upon Death or Disability.    Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, one hundred percent (100%) of
the unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be forgiven immediately upon the Borrower’s death or Disability (as defined below). Lender shall be entitled to forgive all or a portion of the
unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at any time. 
  
           “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental incapacity as a result of which Borrower becomes unable to continue the proper performance of Borrower’s duties
hereunder for six (6) consecutive calendar months or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred eighty (180) business days in any twelve (12) month period, but only to the extent that such definition does not violate the Americans with Disabilities
Act. 
  
           4.    Payment
Mechanics.    All payments under this Note shall be made to Lender or its order, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds delivered to Lender at the offices of Lender at its then
principal place of business or at such other place as Lender or any holder hereof shall designate in writing for such purpose from time to time. If a payment under this Note otherwise would become due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and interest shall be payable thereon during such extension. All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without defense, set off
or counterclaim. 
  
           5.    Application of
Payments.    Each payment under this Note shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the payment of costs and expenses provided for under this Note; (ii) to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest; and (iii) to the
payment of outstanding principal. Lender and each holder hereof shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments under this Note. 
  

          6.    Prepayments.    This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, after
five (5) days written notice of Borrower’s intention to make any such prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. The written notice of Borrower to make a prepayment under this Note shall create an
 
 

 1 

   

 
obligation of Borrower to pay the amount specified on the date specified in such notice. Any prepayment shall be without premium or penalty except that interest shall be paid to the date of
payment on the principal amount prepaid. Any partial principal prepayment under this Note shall be applied against the installments of principal due under this Note in the reverse order of their maturity, with no change in the required principal
amount of the monthly installments due under this Note prior to those installments prepaid in whole or in part. Interest, however, shall be computed on the principal balance due after deducting the principal portion of such prepayment. 

 
           7.    Defaults.    Upon the
occurrence of a default under this Note, including, without limitation, failure to make any principal or interest payment by the stated maturity (whether by acceleration, notice of prepayment or otherwise) for such payment, interest shall thereafter
accrue on the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note, including without limitation any delinquent interest which has been added to the principal amount due under this Note pursuant to the terms hereof, at the rate set forth herein plus one
percent (1%) per annum (on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed). In addition, upon the occurrence of a default under this Note, the holder of this Note may, at its option, without notice to or demand upon Borrower or
any other party, declare immediately due and payable the entire principal balance hereof together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus any other amounts then owing pursuant to this Note, whereupon the same shall be immediately due and
payable. On each anniversary of the date of any default under this Note and while such default is continuing, all interest which has become payable and is then delinquent shall, without curing the default under this Note by reason of such
delinquency, be added to the principal amount due under this Note, and shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is applicable to principal, with interest on overdue interest to bear interest, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, both before and after default, maturity, foreclosure, judgment and the filing of any petition in a bankruptcy proceeding. In no event shall interest be charged under this Note which would violate any applicable law. 

 
           8.    Full Recourse.    THIS NOTE
IS A FULL RECOURSE PROMISSORY NOTE. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender, or any other holder of the Note in enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder and under any other documents and instruments executed by Borrower in connection herewith, shall
have recourse to, and the right to proceed against, Borrower personally and any of its assets for any obligation, covenant or agreement of any kind whatsoever, in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Note. 
  
           9.    Rights and Remedies
Cumulative.    Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Lender under this Note, all of which rights and remedies are cumulative. 
  
           10.    Amendments; Waivers.    No waiver or modification of any of the terms of this Note
shall be valid or binding unless set forth in a writing specifically referring to this Note and signed by a duly authorized officer of Lender or any holder of this Note, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. 
  
           11.    Attorneys’ Fees.    If any
default occurs in any payment due under this Note, Borrower and all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors and assigns, promise to pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by each holder hereof in
collecting or attempting to collect the indebtedness under this Note, whether or not any action or proceeding is commenced. None of the provisions hereof and none of the holder’s rights or remedies under this Note on account of any past or
future defaults shall be deemed to have been waived by the holder’s acceptance of any past due installments or by any indulgence granted by the holder to Borrower. 
  
           12.    Waivers.    Borrower and all guarantors and endorsers hereof, and their successors
and assigns, hereby waive presentment, demand, diligence, protest and notice of every kind, and agree that they shall remain liable for all amounts due under this Note notwithstanding any extension of time or change in the terms of payment of this
Note granted by any holder hereof, any change, alteration or release of any property hereafter securing the payment hereof or any delay or failure by the holder hereof to exercise any rights under this Note. Borrower and all guarantors and endorsers
hereof, and their successors and assigns, hereby waive the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense to a demand under this Note to the full extent permitted by law.

           13.    Binding Effect.    This Note shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns and shall bind the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Borrower. Each reference herein to powers or rights of Lender shall also be deemed a reference to the same power or right of such assignees, to the extent of the interest assigned to them.

  
           14.    Provisions
Severable.    In the event that any one or more provisions of this Note shall be held to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the same shall not affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions
of this Note shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
           15.    Governing Law.    This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without
giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflicts of law; provided, that Lender and each holder hereof reserves any and all rights it may have under federal law, including without limitation those relating to the charging of interest.
