Contribution Agreement. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Reporting Persons have agreed that the OP Units owned by the Reporting Persons (and their permitted transferees) are redeemable for cash or (at the election of the Issuer) shares of Common Stock (on a one-for-one basis) only as follows: (i) up to 50% of the OP Units may be redeemed beginning July 1, 1999, (ii) an additional 25% of the OP Units may be redeemed beginning October 1, 1999 and (iii) the remaining 25% of the OP Units may be redeemed beginning January 1, 2000. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 30, 1998, with the Issuer, the Reporting Persons (and their permitted transferees), upon conversion of the OP Units into shares of Common Stock, are entitled to certain registration rights. Under the Contribution Agreement, the Issuer and Operating Partnership have agreed to grant the Reporting Persons an exemption from the 4.9 percent ownership limitation contained in the Partnership Agreement (as discussed further below). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, for so long as the Reporting Persons own at least 5 percent of the outstanding OP Units, Blackstone Real Estate Acquisitions L.L.C. ("BRE Acquisitions"), an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, has the right to designate one person, and the Issuer shall cause such person, to be included in the slate of directors nominated for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The Contribution Agreement also contains standstill provisions which prohibit certain activities of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer and the Operating Partnership. Such provisions provide that (except as permitted under the Contribution Agreement or if previously authorized by the Issuer) prior to the earlier of (i) December 30, 2003 and (ii) the date on which the Contributors and BRE Acquisitions, considered together, no longer own more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock or OP Units, the Contributors and BRE Acquisitions will not, and will use their best efforts to cause their respective affiliates to not, among other things (A) acquire any securities so as to beneficially own, in aggregate, more than 9.8% of any class of voting securities of the Issuer or the Operating Partnership or so as to violate the articles of incorporation of the Issuer or the Partnership Agreement, (B) sell or otherwise dispose of any voting securities of the Issuer or the Operating Partnership in violation of the articles of incorporation of the Issuer or the Partnership Agreement, (C) solicit proxies in opposition to a recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, (D) propose any merger, tender or exchange offer or similar transaction involving the Issuer or acquire a material portion of the assets of the Issuer or (E) seek to appoint, elect or remove any member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or make any public statements proposing or suggesting any change in the Board of Directors or management of the Issuer. The description of the Contribution Agreement set forth herein is a summary thereof, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Page 38 of 40

The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), filed herewith as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement of the Issuer on Form S-4/A dated October 10, 1998, contains provisions pertaining to, among other things, capital contributions, distributions, allocations, management and operations of the Operating Partnership's business, transfers and withdrawals. The Partnership Agreement provides that, subject to certain permitted transfers to related entities, the OP Units are not transferable to third parties. The Partnership Agreement also provides that the OP Units are redeemable, at the option of the Reporting Persons, for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock for each OP Unit redeemed; provided, however, that the Issuer may, at its election, issue to the Reporting Persons (in lieu of the cash payment referred to above) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of OP Units redeemed by the Reporting Persons. The Partnership Agreement provides further that, unless pursuant to an exception granted by the Issuer, no person or entity may constructively own (determined in accordance with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) more than 4.9 percent of the OP Units. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Issuer has provided the Reporting Persons an exception to such ownership limitation so long as the Reporting Persons do not increase their constructive ownership of OP Units. The description of the Partnership Agreement set forth herein is a summary thereof, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text thereof filed as Exhibit 2 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
