WHEREAS, in connection with the Company's issuance
and sale to Subscriber on April 30, 1996 of 11,627,907 shares
of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Company Common Stock"), the Company, Xxxx Realty, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Xxxx Realty, L.P."), the Advanc-
ing Party and Subscriber entered into a Stockholders Agreement
on such date (the "Stockholders Agreement");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, in the event that the Company issues or sells shares
of capital stock of the Company, Investor is, during a speci-
fied term, entitled (except in certain limited circumstances)
to a participation right to purchase, or subscribe for, a total
number of shares generally equal to up to 30% of the total num-
ber of shares of capital stock proposed to be issued by the
Company (the "Participation Rights");
WHEREAS, the Company currently intends to issue and
to offer and sell in a public offering (the "Public Offering")
up to 5,000,000 shares (the "Public Shares") of Company Common
Stock;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Public Shares pro-
posed to be issued by the Company in the Public Offering,
Investor is entitled to, and has indicated to the Company that
it desires to, exercise its Participation Rights; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Investor's desire to ex-
ercise its Participation Rights, the Company desires to issue
and sell to Subscriber shares of Company Common Stock in an
offering (the "Concurrent Purchase") from the Company to Sub-

ing.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. SUBSCRIPTION; CLOSING
1.1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR COMPANY COMMON STOCK
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Sub-
xxxxxxx hereby subscribes (the "Subscription") to purchase that
number of shares of Company Common Stock (the "Concurrent
Shares") equal to the lesser of (i) 2,142,857 shares of Company
Common Stock, or (ii) that number (the "Reduced Number") of
shares of Company Common Stock which is equal to thirty percent
(30%) of the sum of the number of Public Shares sold in the
Public Offering (excluding any Public Shares sold as a result
of the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in
connection with the Public Offering) and the Reduced Number.
(b) Investor hereby agrees that the Subscription
represents the complete and exclusive exercise of its Partici-
pation Rights with regard to the Public Offering, provided that
the number of Public Shares to be sold in the Public Offering
does not exceed 5,000,000 (excluding any Public Shares sold as
a result of the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option in connection with the Public Offering). The Company

Price") shall be equal to the Per Share Purchase Price multi-
plied by the number of Concurrent Shares. The Company reserves
the right to establish the per share public offering price of
the Public Shares in the Public Offering, and nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to grant Subscriber or any Inves-
tor any right to participate in the establishment of the per
share public offering price of the Company Common Stock in the
Public Offering.

If a claim by a third party is made against Sub-
xxxxxxx or the Advancing Party or the Company (each, an "Indem-
nified Party") and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek
indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 5, such In-
demnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in
writing of such claims setting forth such claims in reasonable
detail. The indemnifying party shall have 20 days after re-
ceipt of such notice to undertake, through counsel of its own
-13-
choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense
thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in
connection therewith; provided, however, that the Indemnified
Party may participate in such settlement or defense through
counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indem-
nified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle
any claim which the indemnifying party is contesting. Notwith-
standing the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such
event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the
indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party does not notify
the Indemnified Party within 20 days after the receipt of the
Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder
that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemni-
fied Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compro-
mise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indem-
nity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.
