THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this
"Amendment"), dated December 11, 1996, is among XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX PROPERTIES
--
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a California limited partnership (the "Company"),
-------
NATIONAL WESTMINSTER BANK Plc, NEW YORK BRANCH, a Branch duly licensed under the
laws of the State of New York of a public limited company organized under the
laws of the United Kingdom, as Agent (the "Agent"), and NATIONAL WESTMINSTER
BANK Plc, NEW YORK BRANCH, and the other Lenders listed on Exhibit A to the
Credit Agreement as amended from time to time, (each a "Lender" and,
------
collectively, the "Lenders") and is made with respect to the following facts:
-------
A. The Company and the Agent are parties to the Credit Agreement dated as
of July 8, 1994, as amended and restated May 9, 1995, and the First Amendment to
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated August 31, 1995 (the "Credit
------

---------
B. The Company and the Agent now wish to amend the Credit Agreement upon
the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment and to amend Exhibit A to
the Credit Agreement to add certain other Lenders as parties to the Credit
Agreement. The credit facilities will continue to be secured by mortgages on
certain of the Company's properties and certain other collateral and will be a
full recourse obligation of the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Agent hereby agree
as follows (all capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement):
I. AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT.
-----------------------------
1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the

"Allocated Amount" means the following amounts with respect to each of
----------------
the Mortgaged Properties: (i) the Montebello Property: $13,420,000; (ii)
the City Center Property: $13,789,300; (iii) the Media City Property:
$62,790,700. The Agent, the Lenders and the Company agree that the
Allocated Amounts have been determined on the basis of the Company's and
the Lender's determination of the relative fair market values of such
properties solely for the purposes of determining (a) the appropriate
amount
of title insurance coverage to be allocated to each such property and (b)
the maximum Value of Substitute Properties which the Lenders may designate
for substitution of Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof.
"Negative Pledges" means the Negative Pledge Agreements with respect
----------------
to the Empire Center property, dated July 8, 1994; the Medford Center
property, dated May 9, 1995; the Pomona Gateway Center property, dated July
8, 1994; the Sears Hollywood property, dated July 8, 1994; the Smitty's
Tucson property, dated July 8, 1994; and the Vermont-Xxxxxxx Shopping
Center, dated May 9, 1995, as the Negative Pledges may be amended,
modified, or otherwise supplemented, and such other Negative Pledge
Agreements covering additional Unencumbered Properties from time to time as
provided in this Credit Agreement.
2. Section 2.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in its
entirety, to read as follows:
(b) The Advances made pursuant hereto by the Lenders, together with
any Letter of Credit usage, shall not exceed an aggregate principal amount
outstanding at any one time of $90,000,000 (the "Commitment"). There may
----------
not be more than one Advance made on any day. Within the foregoing limits
and subject to the conditions set out in Article III, the Company may
borrow Advances under this Section 2.1, repay Advances under Section 2.7,
and reborrow Advances.
3. Section 2.6(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in its

any Advance, the Company shall be permitted to select an additional
Interest Period for such Advance by delivering a written notice thereof to
the Agent at any time prior to 10:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on the third
Business Day prior to the expiration of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Advance, provided that if no Interest Period selection
is delivered to the Agent by such time, the Company shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month and such Interest Period selected
or deemed to have been selected for such Advance may not be changed without
the consent of the Lenders;
4. Section 4.16(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in its
entirety, to read as follows:
Section 4.16 Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
---------
in the Mortgages, the Company shall
-2-
maintain upon or in connection with each of the Mortgaged Properties:
(a) Property and casualty insurance coverage evidenced by original or
certified copies of insurance policies, binders for such insurance,
together with evidence that the premiums for such policies have been paid
current. Such insurance policies shall insure each of the Mortgaged
Properties for 100% of their full replacement cost (exclusive of footings
and foundations) in so-called "all risk" form and with coverage for
floods, earthquakes and such other hazards (including "collapse" and
"explosion") as the Lenders may require for each of the Mortgaged
Properties and as are consistent with reasonable and customary
requirements in the industry; provided, however, that the Company
acknowledges and agrees that Lenders hereby require that Borrower obtain,
and Borrower shall obtain, insurance policies providing insurance
coverage against damage to any of the Mortgaged Properties by reason of
earthquake in an aggregate amount not less than $40,000,000 (with policy
deductibles of not more than 5% of such coverage). Such insurance policies
shall contain replacement cost and agreed amount endorsements (with no
reduction for depreciation), an endorsement providing Building Ordinance
Coverage and an endorsement covering the costs of demolition and increased
costs of construction due to the enforcement of building codes or
ordinances. If required by any of the Lenders, the Company shall also
furnish insurance providing boiler and machinery comprehensive coverage
for all mechanical and electrical equipment at each of the Mortgaged
Properties insuring against breakdown or explosion of such equipment on a
replacement cost value basis. The property insurance and boiler and
machinery insurance required under this Section 4.16(a) shall include
"underground hazards" coverage; "time element" coverage by which the
Lenders shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Loan
Documents; "extra expense" (i.e., soft costs) coverage; and "expediting
expense" coverage. The Company shall also furnish business interruption or
loss of rental income insurance in connection with all policies covering
property and boiler and machinery insurance for a period of not less than
one (1) year endorsed, other than with respect to boiler and machinery
insurance, to provide a 180 day extended period of indemnity. All
insurance required under Sections 4.16(a) and 4.16(b) shall be with
---------------- -------
companies and in amounts and with coverage and deductibles satisfactory to
the Lenders, and all insurance required under this Section 4.16(a) shall
---------------
include endorsements naming the Lenders as loss payees, and shall have
endorsed thereon the standard mortgagee clause in favor of the Lenders.
All companies issuing policies required under Sections 4.16(a) and
----------------
-3-
4.16(b) shall have a current Best Insurance Reports rating no less
-------
favorable than the rating currently held by such companies, and all
such companies shall be licensed to do business in the State of
California; provided, however, that coverage for earthquake damage in
excess of the first $20,000,000 may be obtained from companies not
licensed to do business in the State of California if such companies
maintain a Best Insurance Reports rating of not less than A for ability to
pay claims. All policies required under Sections 4.16(a) and 4.16(b)
---------------- -------
shall provide that (i) the insurance evidenced thereby shall not be
canceled or modified without, in the case of non-payment of premiums, at
least ten (10) days' prior written notice from the insurance carrier to
the Agent, or, in any other circumstance, at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice from the insurance carrier to the Agent; and (ii) no act or
thing done by the company, General Partner or any Affiliate of any of them
shall invalidate the policy as against the Lenders. The Company shall
deliver renewal certificates of all policies of insurance required under
Sections 4.16(a) and 4.16(b), together with written evidence that the
---------------- -------
premiums are paid current, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the then current policy.
5. Section 4.16(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and Section
4.16(c) relettered as Section 4.16(b).
6. Section 5.1(h)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in its
entirety, to read as follows:
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall require
Appraisals of any Mortgaged Property if (x) such Appraisal is required by
applicable law or regulations, or (y) such Appraisal is requested by any
Lender; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to pay for
more than one Appraisal during any twelve (12) month period.
7. The last paragraph of Section 5.3(k) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended, in its entirety, to read as follows:
As used herein, the term "material Lease" shall refer to any Lease set
forth on Schedule 4, and any Lease covering 25,000 or more square feet of
net rentable leased premises or Leases aggregating 20,000 or more square
feet of net rentable leased premises at a Mortgaged Property and leased by
a tenant and one or more of its Affiliates. When used in connection with a
material Lease, the term "material change" shall refer to a change in the
term of the Lease, the number of or means of exercising any options to
extend the term of the Lease, the net rentable square footage of the
leased premises, the effective rent under the Lease,
-4-
any rights of termination under the Lease, or any other similar material
provisions.
8. Section 5.6(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in its
entirety, to read as follows:
(a) At any time, the Company may request the release of such Mortgaged
Property and offer one or more Substitute Properties, subject to the
approval of the Lenders, as substitute Collateral therefor, provided that
such substitution will not result in a Default or an Event of Default. In
connection with such request, the Company will provide the Agent with first
priority deed of trust liens, assignments of leases and rents and security
interests in such Substitute Properties as substitute Collateral for the
Advances. All such liens and security interests shall be provided pursuant
to instruments which are substantially identical in form to the Mortgages,
Assignments of Leases and Rents and other Loan Documents affecting the
Mortgaged Properties (as the same may have been or may hereafter be
amended) as of the date hereof, with such changes the Required Lenders may
reasonably require. Upon the provision and acceptance of such substitute
Collateral to Agent, Agent shall release and reconvey the Mortgage and
Assignments of Leases and Rents affecting the released Mortgaged Property
and all of its right, title and interest in any insurance proceeds payable
with respect thereto.
9. Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted.
10. Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, in its
entirety, to read as follows:
Section 7.14 Unanimous Approvals. No written amendment, supplement,
-------------------
modification or waiver which adds, deletes, changes or waives any
provisions of the Loan Documents shall (i) extend either the Maturity Date
or any installment or required prepayment of any Advances; (ii) reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest on any Advances or Letters
of Credit: (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Advances or Letters of
Credit; (iv) reduce the Fees, or any other fee payable to the Lenders; (v)
change any Lender's Percentage or the amount of any Advance or Letter of
Credit of any Lender (except to the extent permitted by Sections 7.17 and
7.18 hereof); (vii) change any provision of this Section 7.14 or the
definition of Required Lenders; (viii) consent to or permit (if not
expressly permitted under the Loan Documents) the assignment or transfer by
the Company of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document,
consent to any merger or consolidation or sale, lease or other disposal of
all or a substantial part of the Company's property or
-5-
assets, modify any financial covenants, change, amend, modify or release
any negative pledge, waive any Default or Event of Default, or waive or
release any lien on any of the Mortgaged Properties or commence any
judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding, in each case without the
written consent of the Agent and each Lender; or (ix) amend, modify or
waive any provision of any Loan Document, if the effect thereof is to
affect the rights or duties of Agent, without the written consent of the
then Agent. Any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall
apply to each of the Lenders equally and shall be binding upon the
Company, the Lenders, Agent and all future holders of the Promissory
Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Company, the Lenders and Agent shall
be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the
outstanding Promissory Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair
any right consequent thereon.
