ITEM 5.        OTHER EVENTS

        On April 24, 1998, TKG Acquisition Company, LLC ("Acquisition"), The
Kontrabecki Group, Inc. (d/b/a TKG International) ("TKG") and Triad Park, LLC
(the "Company") entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") by
which Acquisition would acquire the Company in a cash merger at $1.90 per
membership interest of the Company ("Share"). TKG has agreed to cause
Acquisition to be adequately capitalized to satisfy its obligations under the
Merger Agreement. TKG presently beneficially owns 2,500 Shares. The Company had
19,708,123 Shares outstanding as of March 31, 1998.

        The transaction is subject to, among other things, Company shareholder
approval, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The transaction
is expected to close by June 15, 1998.

        The terms of the transaction were unanimously approved by the Company's
Advisory Board at a special meeting on April 24, 1998.

        Until the date the transaction is approved by the Company's
shareholders, the Company may not solicit alternative acquisition proposals but
may receive unsolicited proposals. If the Company's Advisory Board finds that an
alternative acquisition proposal is superior to the transaction with TKG, it may
terminate the agreement with TKG upon payment of a break-up fee of $1.2 million.

        Reference is made to the agreement between the Company, Acquisition and
TKG dated April 24, 1998 attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K Current
Report.

                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
 
     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER dated as of April 24, 1998 (this "Merger
Agreement") by and among THE KONTRABECKI GROUP, INC. (d/b/a/ TKG INTERNATIONAL),
a California corporation ("TKG"), TKG ACQUISITION COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("Acquisition"), and TRIAD PARK, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "Company").
 
                                  WITNESSETH:
 
     WHEREAS, Section 18-209 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the
"LLCA") authorizes the merger of one Delaware limited liability company with and
into another Delaware limited liability company;
 
     WHEREAS, TKG, which is the manager of Acquisition (the "Acquisition
Manager"), has determined, and the holders of membership interests in
Acquisition (together with their successors and assigns, the "Acquisition Share
Holders") have determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of
Acquisition and the Acquisition Share Holders, for Acquisition to merge with and
into the Company with the result that the Acquisition Share Holders shall
acquire all of the membership interests in the Company (the "Company Shares");
 
     WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, TKG has approved a merger (the
"Merger") of Acquisition with and into the Company in accordance with the LLCA
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and the manager
(the "Company Manager") and advisory board (the "Advisory Board") of the Company
have approved the Merger in accordance with the LLCA, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth herein, and recommend that the Merger be accepted by
the holders of the Company Shares (the "Company Share Holders");
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
 
SECTION 1. Merger
 
     1.1. Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the
Effective Time (as defined below in Section 1.2), Acquisition shall be merged
into the Company and the separate existence of Acquisition shall thereupon
cease, and the name of the Company, as the limited liability company surviving
in the Merger (the "Surviving LLC"), shall by virtue of the Merger remain "Triad
Park, LLC."
 
     1.2. Effective Time of the Merger. The Merger shall become effective when a
properly executed Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware, or at such later date and time as may be
specified therein, which filing shall be made contemporaneously with (or as soon
as practicable after) the closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 3.6. When used in this Merger
Agreement, the term "Effective Time" shall mean the date and time at which such
filing shall have been made or such later date and time as may be specified in
such filing.
 
     1.3. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in
the applicable provisions of the LLCA. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise
provided herein, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises
of Acquisition and the
   2
 
Company shall vest in the Surviving LLC, and all debts, liabilities and duties
of Acquisition and the Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of
the Surviving LLC.
 
SECTION 2. The Surviving LLC
 
     2.1. Limited Liability Company Agreement. The limited liability company
agreement of Acquisition as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving LLC after the
Effective Time except that Section 1.2 thereof shall be amended to state that
the name of the company is Triad Park, LLC, and subject to Section 7.4(c),
thereafter may be amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by law
and this Merger Agreement.
 
     2.2. By-Laws. The by-laws of Acquisition as in effect on the Effective Time
shall be the by-laws of the Surviving LLC.
 
     2.3. Manager; Advisory Board. The Acquisition Manager immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be the manager of the Surviving LLC until after the
Effective Time a successor manager is designated in accordance with the limited
liability company agreement of the Surviving LLC and the LLCA. The Surviving LLC
shall not have an advisory board.
 
SECTION 3. Conversion of Securities
 
     3.1. Conversion. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of any Company Share Holder:
 
          (a) All Company Shares that are held by the Company shall be canceled.
 
          (b) Each remaining Company Share issued and outstanding immediately
     prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive a
     cash amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $37,445,433.70 by
     the sum of (i) the total number of Company Shares issued and outstanding as
     of the Effective Time (other than Company Shares to be canceled pursuant to
     this Agreement) and (ii) the total number of Company Shares issuable
     pursuant to all options, warrants, rights, convertible debt instruments and
     securities, and other equity or debt securities or obligations outstanding
     as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, which are
     exerciseable for or convertible into Company Shares (hereafter referred to
     as the "Merger Consideration" whether on a per share or per Share Holder
     basis or in the aggregate, as the context may require). In the event that
     the Closing Date is deferred or extended past June 15, 1998 pursuant to
     Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(e), the Merger Consideration shall be increased by
     one-half of one cent ($0.005) per share for each week (or portion of a
     week) that the Closing Date is so deferred or extended. Except for the
     payment of such additional Merger Consideration in the event of such a
     deferral or extension, in no event shall the Merger Consideration payable
     by TKG and Acquisition for the total equity interest of the Company exceed
     $37,445,433.70.
 
          (c) Each issued and outstanding membership interest in Acquisition
     ("Acquisition Share") shall be converted into and become one membership
     interest in the Surviving LLC.
 
     3.2. Disbursement of Merger Consideration.
 
     (a) Pursuant to an irrevocable agreement to be entered into on or before
the Effective Time between Acquisition and a disbursing agent (the "Disbursing
Agent") for the benefit of the Company Share Holders (which shall be a
commercial bank or trust company with capital of at least $200,000,000 or
otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Acquisition), Acquisition
or the Surviving LLC shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Disbursing
Agent, in trust for the benefit of the Company's Share Holders, at the Closing,
the Merger Consideration consisting of the cash (in immediately available funds)
to which the Company Share Holders shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(b).
Pending any payments of cash pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of this Merger
Agreement, such funds shall be held and invested by the Disbursing Agent in
interest bearing investments with minimal or no risk to capital as directed by
the Surviving LLC, and any earnings with respect to such funds shall be paid to
the Surviving LLC when requested by the Surviving LLC. Any funds remaining with
the Disbursing Agent one year after the Effective Time shall be released by the
 
                                        2
   3
 
Disbursing Agent to the Surviving LLC after which time persons entitled thereto
may look, subject to applicable escheat and other similar laws, only to the
Surviving LLC for delivery thereof.
 
     (b) Promptly upon the Effective Time the Surviving LLC shall notify the
Disbursing Agent of the effectiveness of the Merger and shall cause the
Disbursing Agent, pursuant to the irrevocable instructions, to mail to each
person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a record holder of an
outstanding certificate or certificates which prior thereto represented Company
Shares ("Certificates") a notice and transmittal form advising such holder of
the effectiveness of the Merger and the procedure for surrendering to the
Disbursing Agent Certificates for exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each
holder of Certificates, upon proper surrender thereof to the Disbursing Agent
together with such transmittal form, duly completed and validly executed in
accordance with the instructions thereto, shall be entitled to receive the
Merger Consideration evidenced by such Certificates, without any interest
thereon, in exchange for such Certificates and such Certificates shall forthwith
be canceled. Until properly surrendered and exchanged, Certificates shall, from
and after the Effective Time, be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the
right to receive the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither the Disbursing Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of
Certificates for any amount which may be required to be paid to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
     (c) If delivery of the Merger Consideration in respect of canceled Company
Shares is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name a
surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such delivery
or payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or
shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting
such a delivery or payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required
by reason of such delivery or payment in a name other than that of the
registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to
the satisfaction of the Surviving LLC and the Disbursing Agent that such tax
either has been paid or is not payable.
 
     3.3. Company Share Holders' Meeting. Unless this Merger Agreement has been
terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, the Company shall take all action necessary,
in accordance with applicable law and its limited liability company agreement
and by-laws, to convene a special meeting of the Company Share Holders entitled
to vote thereat as promptly as practicable for the purpose of considering and
voting on the approval and adoption of this Merger Agreement (the "Company
Meeting"). Subject to Section 7.6(d), the Company Manager and Advisory Board
will recommend that Company Share Holders entitled to vote thereon vote in favor
of and approve the Merger and the approval and adoption of this Merger Agreement
at the Company Meeting. At the Company Meeting, all of the Company Shares then
owned by Acquisition, or with respect to which Acquisition holds the power to
direct the voting, shall be voted in favor of approval of the Merger and
approval and adoption of this Merger Agreement.
 
     3.4. Closing of the Company's Transfer Books. At the close of business on
the Effective Time, the Company Share transfer books shall be closed and no
transfer of any Company Shares shall be made thereafter. In the event that,
after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving LLC, they
shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in
Sections 3.1(b) and 3.2(b).
 
     3.5. Assistance in Consummation of the Merger. Each of Acquisition and the
Company shall provide all reasonable assistance to, and shall cooperate with,
each other to bring about the consummation of the Merger as soon as possible in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Merger Agreement.
 
     3.6. Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Merger
Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place (i) at the offices of The Kontrabecki
Group, Inc., 2755 Campus Drive, Suite 100, San Mateo, CA 94403 at 10:00 A.M.
local time or as soon as practicable (but in any event within three business
days) after the day on which the last of the conditions set forth in Section 8
is fulfilled or waived, but in no event later than June 15, 1998, unless
extended by mutual agreement or otherwise pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(e),
or (ii) at such other time and place as Acquisition and the Company shall agree
in writing. At the Closing: (i) the Company and Acquisition shall execute a
Certificate of Merger for the Merger for filing with the Delaware Secretary of
State; (ii) TKG and Acquisition shall then cause the Merger Consideration to be
transferred by wire transfer to the Disbursing Agent to be held by the
Disbursing Agent in escrow pending and subject to the filing of the Certificate
of Merger for the Merger; (iii) upon confirmation of the initiation of the
                                        3

that the Certificate of Merger for the Merger has been filed, the Merger
Consideration shall be released from escrow for distribution by the Disbursing
Agent to the Company Share Holders in accordance with Section 3.2.

of California if and to the extent so required by the nature of its business.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission that such qualification is

failure to be so qualified would materially and adversely affect the ability of
Acquisition to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Merger
Agreement. TKG is a corporation organized, validly existing and in good standing

applicable law. The Acquisition Manager is authorized as it deems appropriate to
execute, acknowledge, verify, deliver, file and record, for and in the name of
Acquisition, the Certificate of Merger and any and all other documents and
instruments required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder. This
Merger Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Acquisition and
TKG enforceable against Acquisition and TKG in accordance with its terms. No
other proceedings on the part of TKG or Acquisition are necessary to authorize
this Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
     4.3. Proxy Statement. None of the information supplied in writing by
Acquisition and its affiliates specifically for inclusion in the proxy statement
of the Company (the "Proxy Statement") required to be mailed to the Company
Share Holders in connection with the Merger shall, at the time the Proxy
Statement is mailed, at the time of the Company Meeting or at the Effective
Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
 
     4.4. Consents and Approvals; no Violation. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Merger Agreement by Acquisition nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with or result in any breach
of any provision of the limited liability company agreement, articles of

(the "Exchange Act"), (B) the filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to
the LLCA or (C) where the failure to obtain such consent, approval,
authorization or permit, or to make such filing or notification, would not
prevent or delay consummation of the Merger or would not otherwise prevent
Acquisition from performing its obligations under this Merger

cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any note, license, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which
Acquisition is a party or by which it or any of its assets may be bound, except
for such defaults (or rights of termination, cancellation or acceleration) as to
which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained or which, in the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the ability of Acquisition
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement; or (iv)
violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to Acquisition, or any of its assets, except for violations which
would not materially and adversely affect the ability of Acquisition to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement.
 
     4.5. Financing. Acquisition at the Effective Time will have or will have
deposited (or caused to be deposited) with the Disbursing Agent (as appropriate)

as a foreign limited liability company in, and is or will be in good standing
under the laws of California which constitute all of the jurisdictions in which
the character of the properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the
transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined
below). The Company has all requisite power and authority to own, operate and
lease its properties and carry on its business as and where now conducted. The
copies of the limited liability company agreement and by-laws of the Company
delivered to Acquisition are true and correct and are in full force and effect,
and there have not been any amendments or alterations to such documents. As used
in this Merger Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" shall mean a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or results of operations of the Company.

requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Merger Agreement and
to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Merger
Agreement by the Company, and consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all requisite action under the
Company's limited liability company agreement, by-laws and the LLCA, subject
only, in the case of this Merger Agreement, to the requisite approval of this
Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the Company Shares. The Company
Manager is authorized as it deems appropriate to execute, acknowledge, verify,
deliver, file and record, for and in the name of the Company, the Certificate of
Merger and any and all other documents and instruments required to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereunder. This Merger Agreement constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms. Except for the requisite approval by the holders of

   6
 
Company, (ii) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or
filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except (A) pursuant to
the Exchange Act, (B) the filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to the
LLCA or (C) where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization or
permit, or to make such filing or notification, would not cause a Material
Adverse Effect; (iii) result in a default (or give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any note, license, agreement or other instrument or obligation to
which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its assets may be bound,

acceleration) as to which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained or
which, in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the ability
of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Merger
Agreement; or (iv) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or

other rights, agreements or commitments presently outstanding obligating the
Company to issue, deliver or sell Company Shares or debt securities, or
obligating the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant,
call or other such right, agreement or commitment, other than pursuant to the
Rights Agreement ("Rights Agreement") dated as of April 28, 1997, between the
Company and GEMISYS Corporation, as Rights Agent. The Merger contemplated by
this Agreement is (or will at the Effective Time be) a Permitted Offer within
the meaning of the Rights Agreement.

the Company SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Reports.
As of their respective dates, the Company SEC Reports did not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The audited
consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements of
the Company included in the Company SEC Reports comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published
rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto, and the financial
statements included in the Company SEC Reports have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent
basis (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto) and fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of the Company at the
dates thereof and the results of its operations and changes in financial
position for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of the unaudited
interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and any other
adjustments described therein.
 
     5.7. Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in the

not been (i) any transaction, commitment, dispute or other event or condition
(financial or otherwise) of any character (whether or not in the ordinary course
of business), individually or in the aggregate, having a Material Adverse
Effect; (ii) any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by
insurance, which, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen, in the future would be
likely to have a Material
                                        6
   7
 
Adverse Effect; (iii) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend
or other distribution (whether in cash, stock or property) with respect to the
Company Shares; (iv) any material increase in the benefits under, or the
establishment or amendment of, any bonus, insurance, severance, deferred
compensation, pension, retirement, profit sharing, performance awards, Company
Share purchase or other employee benefit plan, or any increase in the
compensation payable or to become payable to any of the employees of the
Company, except for increases in salaries or wages payable or to become payable
in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (v) any
change by the Company in its significant accounting policies; or (vi) any entry
into any commitment or transaction material to the Company (including, without
limitation, any borrowing or sale of assets) except in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice.

          (4) to the best of the Company's knowledge, there has been no default
     or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both,
     would constitute a default, on the part of the Tenant or the lessor
     thereunder, and the Tenant has not asserted and has no defense to, offset
     or claim against, its Rent or the performance of its other obligations
     under the Lease;
                                        7

the Company nor any of its agents is in default under any Property Contract or,
to the best of the Company's knowledge, has received any notice from any party
to any Contract claiming the existence of any default or breach hereunder and no
event or omission has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of

     (j) To the best of the Company's knowledge, the continued maintenance,
operation and use of any buildings, structures or other improvements on each
Property for their respective present purposes will not violate any federal,
state, county or municipal laws, ordinances, orders, codes, regulations or
requirements in certificates of occupancy relating to housing, building, safety,
health, fire or zoning (together "Applicable Laws") affecting all or any portion
of each improved Property.
 
     (k) To the best of the Company's knowledge, no written or oral notice has
been given to the Company by any holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on any
Property, by any insurance company which has issued a policy with respect to any
of any Property, or by any board of fire underwriters (or other body exercising
similar functions), any of which notices claim any defect or deficiency or
request the performance of any repairs, alterations or other work to any
Property.
 
     (l) All state, township, county, school district and other taxes levied or
assessed against any Property and any penalties or interest due and payable
thereon prior to the Effective Time, and all assessments of any kind levied

continued validity and existence of each of the Environmental Permits is only
subject to the conditions set forth in each such Environmental Permit, and no
additional expenditures are required to be made by the Company or any third

Materials have been Released or are present in connection with, arising from or

businesses or at, on, about or under any Property either (a) in violation of
applicable Environmental Law or (b) which require or would require
investigation, remediation or other response action under applicable
Environmental Law. No Property is listed or, to the best of the Company's

been a Release of any Environmentally Relevant Materials.
 
     (d) Except as listed in the Disclosure Schedule, there have been no

(at a meeting duly called and held) has by the requisite vote (i) determined
that the Merger is advisable and fair and in the best interests of the Company
and its Share Holders, (ii) approved the Merger in accordance with the

resolution having the effect of causing the Company not to be subject, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to any state anti-takeover law that may
purport to be applicable to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this
Merger Agreement.
 
     5.16. No Fairness Opinion. The Company has not received an opinion of any
financial advisors to the Company to the effect that the consideration to be
received by the Company's Share Holders in the Merger is fair to the Share
Holders of the Company.

to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the
Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement based upon

     5.18. Compliance with Applicable Laws. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, the Company holds all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions,
orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities for the Properties in their
current condition (the "Company Permits"). However the real property development
business involves a continuous governmental permitting process and the Company
makes no representation or warranty that the Company holds all permits of
Governmental Entities (including discretionary permits and ministerial permits
such as building permits) that (a) are additional, supplemental, or ancillary to
approval that the Company currently holds for real property being developed and
that would ordinarily be required or obtained only from time to time as such
development proceeds or (b) would be required for the development of parts of
the Property not yet being developed. The Company is in compliance with the
terms of the Company Permits, except for such failures to comply which, singly
or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of
the Company's knowledge, the businesses of the Company are not being, and have
not been, conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
Governmental Entity, except for possible violations which, individually or in
the aggregate, do not and would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best
of the Company's knowledge, no investigation or review by any Governmental
Entity with respect to the Company is pending or threatened, nor has any
Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, other than those
the outcome of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
     5.19. Liabilities. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, as of
September 30, 1997, the Company did not have any liability or obligation
(absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, in contract, tort or otherwise and
whether or not required by GAAP to be reflected in the Company's balance sheet
or other books and records) (a "Liability"), other than such Liabilities which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. From
and after September 30, 1997, the Company has not incurred, suffered, permitted
to exist or otherwise become subject to any Liability, other than Liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice
which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
                                       11
   12
 
     5.20. Taxes. The Company has filed all material tax returns, declarations
and reports required to be filed by any of them (taking into account all valid
extensions of filing dates) and has paid, or has set up an adequate liability
reserve in accordance with GAAP for the payment of, all taxes required to be
paid in respect of the periods covered by such returns, declarations and
reports. The information contained in such tax returns, declarations and reports
is true, complete and accurate in all material respects. The Company is not
delinquent in the payment of any tax, assessment or governmental charge, except
where such delinquency has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have,
a Material Adverse Effect. No material deficiencies for any taxes have been
proposed, asserted or assessed against the Company that have not been finally
settled or paid in full and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any
such tax are pending. No tax return, declaration or report is currently under
audit by any taxing authority, and as of the date hereof no written notice of
any such audit has been received. For the purposes of this Merger Agreement, the
term "tax" shall include all federal, state, local and foreign income, profits,
franchise, gross receipts, payroll, sales, employment, use, property,
withholding, excise and other taxes, duties and assessments of any nature
whatsoever together with all interest, penalties and additions imposed with
respect to such amounts.
 
     5.21. Certain Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.21 to the
Previous Merger Agreement (as defined in Section 12.1) and in written agreements
provided to TKG or Acquisition since February 1, 1998, the Company is not a
party or subject to any oral or written (i) agreement, contract, indenture or
other instrument relating to Indebtedness (as defined below) in an amount
exceeding $100,000; (ii) joint venture agreement or arrangement or any other
agreement which has involved or is expected to involve a sharing of revenues;
(iii) lease for real or personal property in which the amounts of payments which
the Company or any subsidiary is required to make on an annual basis exceeds
$25,000; (iv) agreement, contract, policy, license, document, instrument,
arrangement or commitment that limits in any material respect the freedom of the
Company to compete in any line of business or with any person or in any
geographical area or which would so limit the freedom of the Company after the
Effective Time; (v) employment, consulting, severance, termination, or
indemnification agreement, contract or arrangement providing for future payments
with any current or former officer, consultant or employee which (A) exceeds
$10,000 per annum or (B) requires aggregate annual payments or total payments
over the life of such agreement, contract or arrangement to such current or
former officer, consultant or employee in excess of $10,000 or $25,000,
respectively, and is not terminable before and after the Merger by it on 30
days' notice or less without penalty or obligation to make payments related to
such termination; (vi) agreement, contract, arrangement, commitment or
obligation with or in favor of (or calling for any payment to) any member, Share
Holder, officer, manager, Advisory Board member or affiliate of the Company or
the manager thereof; or (vii) other agreement, contract, policy, license,
document, instrument, arrangement or commitment not made in the ordinary course
of business that is material to the Company. "Indebtedness' means any liability
in respect of (A) borrowed money, (B) capitalized lease obligations, (C) the
deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade payables in
the ordinary course of business) and (D) guarantees of any of the foregoing. The
Company is not in default (or would be in default with notice or lapse of time,
or both) under any indenture, note, credit agreement, loan document, lease,
contract, policy, license, document, instrument, arrangement or commitment (a
"Contract") whether or not such default has been waived, which default, alone or
in the aggregate with other such defaults, would have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company is not a party to or bound by any Contract which upon execution of
this Merger Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will (either alone or upon the occurrence of additional acts or events) result
in the loss of any material benefit, the termination thereof or any payment
becoming accelerated or due from the Company or the Surviving LLC which loss,
termination or acceleration would have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
SECTION 6. Conduct of Business Pending the Merger
 
     6.1. Conduct of Business by the Company Pending the Merger. Prior to the
Effective Time, unless Acquisition shall otherwise agree in writing:
 
          (a) the Company shall carry on its business in the usual, regular and
     ordinary course in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted,
     and shall use its diligent efforts to preserve intact its present business
     organizations, keep available the services of its present officers and
     employees and preserve their
 
                                       12
   13
 
     relationships with customers, suppliers and others having business dealings
     with them to the end that their goodwill and ongoing businesses shall be
     unimpaired at the Effective Time. The Company shall (A) maintain insurance
     coverages and its books, accounts and records in the usual manner
     consistent with prior practices; (B) comply in all material respects with
     all laws, ordinances and regulations of Governmental Entities applicable to
     the Company; (C) maintain and keep its properties and equipment in good
     repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and
     (D) perform in all material respects its obligations under all contracts
     and commitments to which it is a party or by which it is bound, in each
     case other than where the failure to so maintain, comply or perform, either

     6.2. Notice of Certain Matters. Each party shall promptly give written
notice to the other party upon becoming aware of the occurrence or, to its
knowledge, impending or threatened occurrence, of any event which would cause or
constitute a breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants

and Acquisition of any written claims, demands or threats of litigation against
the Company or the Company Manager, the Advisory Board or any of its members in
their capacities as such.

party confidentiality agreements, the Company shall afford to Acquisition and

books, contracts, commitments, records and personnel and, during such period,
the Company shall furnish promptly to Acquisition (i) a copy of each report,

and shall cause its employees and agents to hold, in confidence all such
information which is not otherwise publicly available. Acquisition shall
indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any and all claims, liens, losses

any tests or inspections of the Company's Property by or on behalf of
Acquisition or TKG.
 
     7.2. Proxy Statement.
 
     (a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Merger
Agreement, Acquisition and the Company, in consultation with TKG, shall prepare,
and the Company shall file and promptly disseminate to Share Holders, a proxy
statement or a supplement or amendment to the definitive Proxy Statement filed
with the Commission on March 11, 1998, in such form as shall permit a Company
Meeting (the "New Proxy Materials"). In the event that comments are received
from the Commission with respect to the New Proxy Materials, the Company shall,
as promptly as practicable after such comments are received, respond to such
comments, and after the furnishing by the Company and Acquisition of all
information required to be contained therein, file with the Commission and
promptly disseminate to Share Holders the New Proxy Materials.
 
     (b) Acquisition and the Company shall make all necessary filings with
respect to the Merger under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder and under applicable blue sky or similar
securities laws and shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain required
approvals and clearances with respect thereto.
 
     7.3. Meeting. As promptly as possible, the Company shall notice the Company
Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval and adoption of the Merger
Agreement. The Company shall solicit management proxies to vote in favor of the
Merger in connection with the Company Meeting.
 
     7.4. Indemnification.
 
     (a) All rights to indemnification existing in favor of the current or
former officers or employees of the Company as provided in the limited liability
company agreement or by-laws, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect
to matters occurring through the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and
shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years
from the Effective Time, provided, however, that, prior to the Effective Time,
the Company may purchase additional policies of directors' and officers'
liability insurance of at least the same coverage as currently maintained by the
Company, such policies to be pre-paid and in effect for a period of six years
from the Effective Time.
 
                                       14
   15
 
     (b) In the event that any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement is
commenced, whether before or after the Effective Time, the parties hereto agree
to cooperate and use their respective reasonable efforts to vigorously defend
against and respond thereto.
 
     (c) The provisions of the limited liability company agreement and by-laws
of the Surviving LLC pertaining to indemnification of current and former
directors, officers and employees shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise
modified for a period of six years after the Effective Time (or, in the case of
matters which are pending but which have not been resolved prior to the sixth
anniversary of the Effective Time, until such matters are finally resolved), in
any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who
at any time on or prior to the Effective Time were directors, officers or
employees of the Company in respect of actions or omissions occurring on or
prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions
contemplated by this Merger Agreement).
 
     7.5. Additional Agreements.
 
     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the
parties hereto agrees to use their best efforts to take, or cause to be taken,
all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable laws, regulations and third-party agreements to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Merger
Agreement, including using their best efforts to obtain all necessary waivers,
consents and approvals, to effect all necessary registrations and filings
(including, but not limited to, filings with all applicable Governmental
Entities) and to lift any injunction or other legal bar to the consummation of
the Merger, it being understood that such consummation may continue to be
subject to the appropriate vote of the Share Holders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Acquisition shall not be required to take any action, and without
Acquisition's prior written consent the Company shall agree not to take any
action, that would in any way restrict or limit the conduct of business from and
after the Effective Time by the Surviving LLC of either (including, without
limitation, any divestiture of any business, product line or asset).
 
     (b) In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Merger Agreement, the
proper officers and/or directors of the Surviving LLC shall take all such
necessary action.
 
     (c) The Company shall be responsible for, and shall use its best efforts to
obtain all third-party consents and approvals required for the conditions to the
obligations of Acquisition set forth in Section 8.3(c) to be timely satisfied,
including without limitation the consent of American General and its affiliates
to the Merger.
 
     7.6. No Solicitation.
 
     (a) As used herein, the term "Acquisition Proposal" means any proposed (i)
merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, (ii) sale,
lease or other disposition directly or indirectly by merger, consolidation,
share exchange or otherwise of either (A) assets of the Company representing 75%
or more of the consolidated assets of the Company (based upon the valuations
contained in the confidential report of the Sedway Group dated July 22, 1997
(the "Sedway Report")) in one transaction or series of related transactions with
a single purchaser or affiliated purchasers (but not solicitation of unrelated
sales of individual parcels of the Property which are not material in amount
either individually or in the aggregate), or (B) all or substantially all of the
undeveloped Property in one transaction or series of related transactions with a
single purchaser or affiliated purchasers (but not solicitation of unrelated
sales of individual parcels of the undeveloped Property which are not material
in amount either individually or in the aggregate), or (C) any other material
amount of assets or Property of the Company, (iii) issue, or other acquisition
or disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or
any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase,
or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 20% or more of the
voting power of the Company or (iv) transaction or series of transactions in
which any person shall or would acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or the right to acquire
beneficial ownership, or any "group" (as such term is defined under the Exchange
Act) shall have been formed which beneficially owns or would own or has or would
have the right to acquire beneficial
 
                                       15
   16
 
ownership, of 20% or more of the outstanding Company Shares, other than
transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement.
 
     (b) The Company shall not, nor shall the Company authorize or permit its
officers, employees, representatives, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants
or other agents or affiliates to, take any action to solicit, initiate or
encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that
if, at any time prior to the obtaining of Company Share Holder approval of the
Merger, the Advisory Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, with the
advice of outside counsel, that it is necessary to do so to avoid a breach of
its fiduciary duties to Share Holders under applicable law, the Company may, in
response to a written request for information, furnish information with respect
to the Company to any person pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement
containing terms at least as favorable to the Company as those contained in the
confidentiality agreement formerly in effect between the Company and TKG. The
Company may discuss and negotiate terms with parties making unsolicited
Acquisition Proposals.
 
     (c) The Company may continue marketing parcels of the Property as part of
its normal business operations. The Company shall provide Acquisition with a
copy of any proposed agreement for any sale, exchange or other disposition of
any part of the Property and consult with Acquisition before entering into any
binding agreement. After the approval of this Agreement by the Advisory Board of
the Company and except as provided in Section 7.6(d), the Company will not,
without the express written consent of Acquisition, enter into any agreement for
the disposition of any part of the Property.
 
     (d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.6, neither the Advisory
Board nor the Company Manager shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly
to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Acquisition, its approval or
recommendation of the adoption and approval of the matters to be considered at
the Company Meeting, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve
or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) cause the Company to enter into
any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other
similar agreement or understanding (written or otherwise) related to any
Acquisition Proposal (each, an "Acquisition Agreement"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that prior to the obtaining of Company Share Holder
approval of the Merger, there exists a Superior Proposal (as defined herein),
the Advisory Board may, if it determines in good faith by a majority vote, with
the advice of outside counsel, that it is necessary to do so to avoid a breach
of its fiduciary duties to Company Share Holders under applicable law, approve
or recommend such Superior Proposal and terminate this Merger Agreement,
provided (x) the Company shall have given Acquisition written notice (a
"Superior Proposal Notice") at least five business days prior to such
termination advising Acquisition that the Advisory Board has received a Superior
Proposal which the Advisory Board has authorized and intends to effect,
specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and
identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, and (y) the Company, prior
to terminating this Merger Agreement, makes irrevocable arrangements for TKG or
Acquisition to be paid the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.2. For
purposes of this Merger Agreement, a "Superior Proposal" means a definitive
unconditioned agreement with a third party, with all due diligence
investigations completed, to acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
the membership interests of the Company, assets of the Company representing 75%
or more of the real estate assets of the Company (based upon the valuations
contained in the Sedway Report) in one transaction or series of related
transactions with a single purchaser or affiliated purchasers (but not
solicitation of sales of individual parcels of the Property) or all or
substantially all of the undeveloped Property in one transaction or series of
related transactions with a single purchaser or affiliated purchasers (but not
solicitation of sales of individual parcels of the undeveloped Property), and
otherwise on terms which the Advisory Board determines in its good faith
judgment to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company
Share Holders than this Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions
contemplated hereby and for which either (i) all required funds are irrevocably
on deposit with a Disbursing Agent or Depositary and are immediately payable to
Share Holders upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Superior
Proposal or are secured by an irrevocable letter of credit deposited with the
Company for the benefit of its Share Holders or (ii) all debt or equity
financing, to the extent required, is then committed pursuant to fully
negotiated definitive agreements, containing only customary closing requirements
for institutional investors, signed by all parties thereto and deposited into
escrow with an independent escrow agent or title insurance company.
 
                                       16
   17
 
     (e) In addition to the obligations set forth in paragraphs (b) and (d) of
this Section 7.6, the Company will promptly communicate to Acquisition a copy of
any requests for information or proposals, including the identity of the person
and its affiliates making the same, that it may receive.
 
     (f) Nothing contained in this Section 7.6 shall prohibit the Company from
taking and disclosing to the Company Share Holders a position contemplated by
Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure
to the Company Share Holders if, in the good faith judgment of the Advisory
Board, with the advice of outside counsel, failure so to disclose would result
in a violation of applicable law; provided, however, that neither the Company,
the Company Manager nor the Advisory Board shall withdraw or modify, or propose
publicly to withdraw or modify, its position with respect to the matters to be
considered at the Company Meeting, or approve or recommend, or propose publicly
to approve or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, except as provided in Section
7.6(d).
 
     7.7. Redemption of Rights. The Company shall, effective immediately prior
to the Effective Time, amend or take other action under the Rights Agreement so
as to render the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or to cause such transactions to be treated as a Permitted
Offer thereunder. The Company shall not amend or take any other action with
respect to the Rights Agreement (including without limitation action to redeem
the rights thereunder) in any manner that has the effect of rendering the Rights
Agreement inapplicable, in whole or in part, to any third party, and shall not
redeem the rights under the Rights Agreement unless, prior to or concurrently
with such amendment, other action or redemption, the Company shall have (i) paid
to TKG or Acquisition, as the case may be, the Termination Fee and (ii) released
TKG and Acquisition from any limitations or restrictions, that prevent TKG and
Acquisition from purchasing Company Shares to the same extent and upon
substantially equivalent terms as such third party. Except as set forth in this
Section 7.7 and except as required for the representation and warranty set forth
in the last sentence of Section 5.4 to be true, the Company shall have sole and
unfettered discretion to amend or take other action under the Rights Agreement
and to redeem the rights thereunder.

     in effect (each party agreeing to use its best efforts to have any such
     Injunction lifted), and there shall not be any action taken, or any
     statute, rule, regulation or order (whether temporary, preliminary or
     permanent) enacted, entered or enforced which makes the consummation of the
     Merger illegal or prevents or prohibits the Merger.

     Acquisition contained in this Merger Agreement shall be true in all
     material respects when made and on and as of the Effective Time as if made
     on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties that are

obligation of Acquisition to effect the Merger shall be subject to the
fulfillment at or prior to the Effective Time of the additional following
conditions, unless waived by Acquisition:
 
          (a) The Company shall have performed in all material respects its
     agreements contained in this Merger Agreement required to be performed on
     or prior to the Effective Time and the representations and warranties of
     the Company contained in this Merger Agreement shall be true in all

     Company, the Manager, the Advisory Board or their agents by the Blum
     Parties; provided, in each case, that the Company, the Manager, the

     demand or litigation.

          (a) by mutual consent of the Board of Directors of Acquisition and the
     Advisory Board;
 
          (b) by either Acquisition or the Company, if the Merger shall not have
     been consummated on or before June 15, 1998; provided that either TKG or
     the Company may extend the effectiveness of this Agreement for up to 46
     days thereafter (but in no event beyond July 31, 1998) by notice to the

     terminate or extend this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall

     cause of or resulted in whole or in part in the failure of the Merger to be
     consummated before such date;
                                       18

     contemplated hereby shall not have been submitted for approval and adoption
     by the Company Share Holders at the Company Meeting prior to June 15, 1998
     unless the Company Meeting is held later solely due to delays in obtaining
     clearance of the Proxy Statement by the Commission, in which case
     Acquisition's right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to this Section
     9.1(e) may be deferred for not more than 46 days beyond June 15, 1998 (but
     in no event beyond July 31, 1998) upon notice by the Company to Acquisition

     shall have recommended to the Company Share Holders, or taken no position
     with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal or the Company shall have entered
     into an Acquisition Agreement, or, other than in connection with the
     Company's delivery of a Superior Proposal Notice, the Advisory Board shall
     have resolved to do any of the foregoing; or

     Board has delivered to Acquisition a Superior Proposal Notice and five
     business days have passed since Acquisition received the Superior Proposal
     Notice and (B) the Company has paid or simultaneously pays the Termination

forthwith become void and (except for the willful breach of this Merger
Agreement by any party hereto) there shall be no liability on the part of any
party to this Merger Agreement or their respective directors, managers, officers
or employees; provided that the last sentence of Section 7.1 and all of Sections
9.2, 11.3 and 11.7 shall survive the termination.
 
     (b) The Company shall pay to TKG or Acquisition (as TKG shall direct) a
Termination Fee (as defined below) if: (i) Acquisition terminates this Merger
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e) or (f); or (ii) more than five business

against), consummates, or enters into or announces any agreement with respect
to, an Acquisition Proposal, or amends or otherwise takes action under the

by or pursuant to action taken by the Acquisition Manager and the Advisory
Board, at any time before or after approval hereof by the Company Share Holders,
but, after such approval, no amendment shall be made which reduces the amount or
changes the form of Merger Consideration or which in any way materially
adversely affects the rights of the Company Share Holders, without the further
approval of such Company Share Holders. This Merger Agreement may not be amended
except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties
hereto, except that TKG and Acquisition may, in their sole discretion, increase
the amount of the Merger Consideration by written notice to the Company signed
by or on behalf of TKG and Acquisition, and such notice shall be immediately
effective in accordance with its terms, without action by the Company.

representations and warranties contained herein or in any documents delivered
pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions contained herein; provided, however, that no such waiver shall
materially adversely affect the rights of the Company Share Holders and
Acquisition. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension
or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on
behalf of such party.

TRIAD PARK LLC BOARD RECOMMENDS ACCEPTING MERGER PROPOSAL

LIVERMORE, Calif., April 25, 1998 -- The Advisory Board of Triad Park, LLC
("Triad Park") today announced Triad Park has entered into a merger agreement
with TKG Acquisition Company, LLC ("TKG Acquisition"). The Advisory Board is
recommending that the members of Triad Park approve the merger proposal from TKG
Acquisition under which all outstanding membership interests in Triad Park would
be exchanged for $1.90 per share in cash. In addition, the per share purchase
price will be increased by one-half of one cent ($0.005) for each week that the
merger closing date is deferred or extended past June 15, 1998. Under the terms
of the merger agreement, TKG Acquisition is entitled to a break-up fee of
$1,200,000 in the event that the Advisory Board approves a superior proposal.

The Advisory Board also announced that it will not redeem or take any other
action with respect to its "poison pill" Rights Plan. Redemption of the Rights
Plan is a condition precedent to the consummation of the outstanding tender
offer of Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., which is currently scheduled to
close at midnight, Wednesday, April 29.

TKG Acquisition and Triad Park have agreed that, subject to shareholder
approval, Triad Park will merge with TKG Acquisition, which is affiliated with
The Kontrabecki Group, Inc. (d/b/a TKG International) of San Mateo, California.
As a result of the merger, TKG Acquisition will be merged into Triad Park and
the shareholders will receive all cash and not be subject to the obligations of
Triad Park. TKG Acquisition is expected to be controlled by The Kontrabecki
Group, Inc.

Triad Park was created in February 1997 upon the acquisition of Triad Systems
Corporation by Cooperative Computing, Inc., of Austin, Texas. Shareholders of
Triad System Corporation received one Triad Park membership share for each share
of Triad Systems Corporation common stock. Triad Park's assets consist of
approximately 300 acres of property formerly owned by Triad Systems Corporation
and the company's 220,000-square-foot headquarters facility. Triad Park also
assumed approximately $20.7 million of indebtedness previously secured by the
spun-off real estate and was formed to liquidate its real estate portfolio, with
proceeds used to pay expenses (including taxes), repay secured debt and
distribute any remaining proceeds to holders of Triad Park membership interests.
