See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 STORAGE EQUITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 1. Description of the business --------------------------- Storage Equities, Inc. (the "Company") is a California corporation that invests primarily in existing mini-warehouses which offer self-storage spaces for lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. The Company, to a lesser extent, has also invested in business park facilities containing commercial and industrial rental space. At June 30, 1995, the Company had equity interests (through direct ownership, as well as general and limited partnership interests) in 489 properties located in 37 states, including 450 mini-warehouse facilities, 19 business parks and 20 combination mini-warehouse/business park facilities. In addition to the 235 properties owned wholly by the Company, an additional 238 properties owned by real estate partnerships have been included in the consolidated financial statements (see below). All of these facilities are operated under the "Public Storage" name. As of June 30, 1995, the Company has invested in 211 properties jointly through general partnerships (the "Joint Ventures") with PS Partners, Ltd. ("PSP-1"); PS Partners II, Ltd. ("PSP-2"); PS Partners III, Ltd. ("PSP- 3"); PS Partners IV, Ltd. ("PSP-4"); PS Partners V, Ltd. ("PSP-5"); PS Partners VI, Ltd. ("PSP-6"); and PS Partners VII, Ltd. ("PSP-7"). In addition, the Company also owns limited partnership units and general partnership interests in each of the above partnerships including PS Partners VIII, Ltd. ("PSP-8"). These eight publicly-held partnerships (collectively the "PSP Partnerships") are affiliates of the Company. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies ------------------------------------------ Basis of presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 1994. 6 STORAGE EQUITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont'd.) ---------------------------------------------------- Basis of presentation (Cont'd.) ------------------------------- The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the PSP Partnerships. The Company through its direct ownership interests in the Joint Ventures combined with its limited and general partnership interests owns a significant economic interest in each of the PSP Partnerships (Note 7). In addition, the Company is able to exercise significant control over the PSP Partnerships through its (i) position as a co-general partner, (ii) ownership of significant limited partnership interests and (iii) ability to compel the sale of the properties held in the Joint Ventures; such properties represent a significant majority of the PSP Partnerships' investment portfolio. The Company's aggregate cost of its interests in the PSP Partnerships is less than the historical book value of such interests in the underlying net assets of the PSP Partnerships. In consolidation, the difference between the Company's cost and the historical carrying value of the underlying properties has been allocated to the real estate facilities and is being amortized over the remaining lives of the real estate facilities. Allowance for possible losses ----------------------------- The Company has no allowance for possible losses relating to any of its real estate investments, including mortgage notes receivable. The need for such an allowance is evaluated by management by means of periodic reviews of its investment portfolio. Depreciation ------------ Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements, which is generally between 5 and 25 years. Leasing commissions relating to the business park operations are expensed as incurred. Under the terms of the joint venture agreements, depreciation with respect to the Joint Ventures is allocated first to the PSP Partnerships to the extent of their original capital contribution then to the Company to the extent of its original capital contribution and thereafter pro rata based on ownership interests in each respective Joint Venture. 7 STORAGE EQUITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont'd.) ---------------------------------------------------- Net income per common share --------------------------- Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options). The Company's preferred stock has been determined not to be common stock equivalents. In computing earnings per common share, the preferred stock dividends reduced income available to common stockholders. Fully diluted earnings per common share are not presented, as the assumed conversion of the 8.25% Convertible Preferred Stock would be anti-dilutive. Revenue recognition ------------------- Property rents are recognized as earned. Interest income on mortgage notes receivable is recognized using the effective rate of interest. 3. Acquisition of Public Storage Properties VI, Inc. ("Properties 6") and Public ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Storage Properties VII, Inc. ("Properties 7") --------------------------------------------- On February 28, 1995 and June 30, 1995, the Company completed separate merger transactions with Properties 6 and Properties 7, respectively, whereby the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Properties 6 and Properties 7 in exchange for cash and common stock of the Company. Properties 6 and Properties 7 were real estate investment trusts and affiliates of the Company's investment adviser (Public Storage Advisers, Inc., the "Adviser"). Properties 6 owned and operated 22 mini-warehouse facilities and one combination mini-warehouse/business park facility (approximately 1,453,000 square feet). Pursuant to the merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Properties 6 for an aggregate cost of $65,342,000 consisting of the issuance of 3,147,015 shares of the Company's common stock (with an aggregate value of $43,915,000) and $21,427,000 in cash. The merger has been accounted for as a purchase, accordingly, allocations of the total acquisition cost to the net assets acquired were made based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of February 28, 1995. The fair market values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are summarized as follows: 8 STORAGE EQUITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 3.

Properties 7 owned and operated 34 mini-warehouse facilities, three business parks, and one combination mini-warehouse/business park facility (approximately 2,014,000 square feet). Pursuant to the merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Properties 7 for an aggregate cost of $70,064,000 consisting of the issuance of 3,517,272 shares of the Company's common stock (with an aggregate value of $56,057,000) and $14,007,000 in cash. The merger has been accounted for as a purchase, accordingly, allocations of the total acquisition cost to the net assets acquired were made based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of June 30, 1995. The fair market values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are summarized as follows:
At June 30, 1995 ---------------- Real estate facilities $74,300,000 Other assets 1,162,000 Accrued and other liabilities (5,398,000) ----------- $70,064,000 ===========
The historical operating results of Properties 6 (prior to February 28, 1995) and Properties 7 have not been included in the Company's historical operating results. Pro forma data (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 as though the merger transactions had been effective at the beginning of each period are as follows:
For the Six Months Ended June 30, ------------------------- 1995 1994 ----------- ----------- Revenues $99,600,000 $80,227,000 Net income 32,313,000 22,298,000 Net income per common share $ 0.51 $ 0.52
9 STORAGE EQUITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 3. Acquisition of Public Storage Properties VI, Inc. ("Properties 6") and Public ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Storage Properties VII, Inc. ("Properties 7") (Cont'd) ------------------------------------------------------ The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative either of results of operations that would have occurred had the purchase been made at the beginning of each period or future results of operations of the Company. Certain pro forma adjustments were made to the combined historical amounts to reflect (i) expected reductions in general and administrative expenses, (ii) estimated increased interest expense from bank borrowings to finance the cash portion of the acquisition cost, (iii) estimated increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and (iv) estimated increased advisory fee expense. 4. Real estate facilities ---------------------- In addition to the 61 facilities acquired in connection with the mergers, the Company acquired 27 mini-warehouse facilities (approximately 1,669,946 square feet) for an aggregate cost of $81,765,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1995, consisting of the cancellation of mortgage notes receivable totaling $8,466,000, the assumption of mortgage notes payable totaling $12,127,000, and cash totaling $61,172,000. At December 31, 1994, affiliates of Adviser, had participation interests of up to 25% in 21 mini- warehouse facilities owned by the Company. During the first six months of 1995, the Company acquired these participation interests from such affiliates for $10,598,000 in common stock of the Company and cash totaling $808,000. The cost of these participation interests has been included in real estate facilities as part of the acquisition cost of the respective facilities. Several mini-warehouse facilities which were acquired during 1995 were acquired directly from affiliates of the Adviser (principally private limited partnerships whose limited partners are unrelated to the Company and whose general partners are affiliates of the Adviser). The aggregate acquisition cost of these real estate facilities was approximately $38,262,000. In addition, one mini-warehouse facility was acquired from an unrelated third party subject to participation interests owned by an affiliate of the Adviser (the participation interest was purchased prior to the acquisition). The aggregate acquisition cost of this facility was approximately $1,868,000. During 1995, the Company began construction of two mini-warehouse facilities. Included in real estate facilities at June 30, 1995 is approximately $3,400,000 of costs related to the construction in process. 10 STORAGE EQUITIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1995 5. Mortgage notes receivable from affiliates ----------------------------------------- At June 30, 1995, mortgage notes receivable balance of $14,352,000 is net of related discounts totaling $525,000. The mortgage notes bear interest at stated rates ranging from 8.5% to 11.97% (effective interest rates ranging from 10% to 14.8%) and are secured by 8 mini-warehouse facilities. During 1995, the Company canceled mortgage notes which had a net carrying value of $8,466,000, as part of the acquisition cost of the underlying real estate facility securing the mortgage note. See Note 4. 6. Minority interest ----------------- Minority interest consists principally of equity interests in the PSP Partnerships which are not owned by the Company consisting of limited partnership interests owned by unaffiliated third parties. During 1995, pursuant to cash tender offers, the Company acquired approximately 23.9% and 12.9% of the limited partnership units in PSP-1 and PSP-8 for an aggregate cost of approximately $10,735,000. These transactions had the effect of reducing minority interest by approximately $5,450,000 (the historical book value of such interests in the underlying net assets of the partnerships). Minority interest in income consists of the minority interests' share of the operating results of the Company relating to the consolidated operations of the PSP Partnerships. In determining income allocable to the minority interests for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $5,392,000 and $7,294,000, respectively, was allocated to the minority interest ($2,619,000 and $3,241,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively). 7.

12 9. Shareholders' equity (Cont'd.) ------------------------------ On February 1, 1995, the Company issued 2,195,000 shares of its 10.0% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series E (the "Series E Preferred Stock") in connection with a public offering raising net proceeds of approximately $52,888,000. On May 3, 1995, the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of its 9.75% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series F (the "Series F Preferred Stock") in connection with a public offering raising net proceeds of approximately $55,489,000. The Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E and Series F (collectively the "Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock") have general preference rights with respect to liquidation and quarterly distributions. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, the Convertible Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock and any other shares of preferred stock of the Company ranking on a parity with or senior to the Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock, any additional class of common stock and any series of preferred stock expressly made junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the payment of advisory fees is subordinated to the payment of quarterly dividends to the Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock. Dividends --------- Dividends for the second quarter of 1995 totaled $8,428,000 ($.220 per quarter for each common share) to common shareholders, $1,141,000 ($.625 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, $1,372,000 ($.575 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, $629,000 ($.525 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, $713,000 ($.594 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, $1,372,000 ($.625 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, $919,000 ($.400 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Series F Preferred Stock and $1,186,000 ($.516 per quarter for each preferred share) to holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The dividend rate on the Series C Preferred Stock for the second quarter of 1995 was equal to 8.393% per annum. The dividend rate per annum will be adjusted quarterly and will be equal to the highest of one of three U.S. Treasury indices (Treasury Bill Rate, Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate, and Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%. However, the dividend rate for any dividend period will not be less than 6.75% per annum nor greater than 10.75% per annum. The dividend rate with respect to the third quarter of 1995 will be equal to 7.249% per annum. 13 10. Proposed Merger and Restructure ------------------------------- The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among PSI, PSMI and the Company, dated as of June 30, 1995, pursuant to which PSMI would be merged into the Company. Prior to the merger, substantially all of the United States real estate interests of PSI, together with the Adviser and PSCP, will be combined into PSMI. In the merger, the outstanding capital stock of PSMI would be converted into an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (subject to certain adjustments) and 7,000,000 shares of newly created Class B Common Stock of the Company. The merger was approved by a special committee of disinterested directors of the Company and by the Company's Board of Directors. The merger is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by the Company's common shareholders and delivery of a fairness opinion from Robertson, Stephens & Company, L.P. The Company's Form 8-K dated June 30, 1995 (filed July 19 ,1995) is incorporated herein by this reference. 11. Events subsequent to June 30, 1995 ---------------------------------- In July 1995, the Company completed a cash tender offer for up to 45% of the 150,000 outstanding limited partnership units in PSP-6 at $281 per unit. The Company acquired 19,088 units (representing approximately 13% of the total units) of PSP-6 for a total cost of approximately $5.4 million (including related costs and expenses). The Company has commenced another tender offer for units in PSP-6 at the same price. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPERATIONS - ---------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- Three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the three months ended ------------------------------------------------------------------- June 30, 1994 ------------- Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was $16,551,000 compared to $10,194,000 for the same period in 1994, representing an increase of $6,357,000. Net income allocable to common shareholders increased to $9,219,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 from $6,545,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994. The increase in net income and net income allocable to common shareholders were primarily the result of improved property operations, the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1995 and 1994, and the acquisition of additional partnership interests during 1995 and 1994. Net income per common share was $0.26 per share (based on weighted average shares outstanding of 34,792,185) for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $0.28 per share (based on weighted average shares outstanding of 23,887,332) for the same period in 1994. The decrease in net income per share was principally due to increasing depreciation expense allocable to the common stock shareholders, including depreciation allocable to the limited partnership interests acquired by the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 1995, property net operating income (rental income less cost of operations and depreciation expense) improved compared to the same period in 1994. Rental income increased $12,146,000 or 36% from $33,948,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $46,094,000 for the same period in 1995, cost of operations increased $3,773,000 or 30% from $12,762,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $16,535,000 for the same period in 1995 and depreciation expense increased by $2,115,000 from $6,642,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $8,757,000 for the same period in 1995, resulting in a net increase in property net operating income of $6,258,000 or 43%. Property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense increased by $8,373,000 or 40% from $21,186,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $29,559,000 for the same period in 1995. The Company generally analyzes the operating results of its real estate portfolio in three different categories; (i) mini-warehouse properties owned since December 31, 1991 (referred to as "Same Stores"), consisting of 246 mini-warehouses, (ii) mini-warehouse facilities acquired subsequent to December 31, 1991 (referred to as "Newly Acquired"), consisting of 208 mini- warehouses, and (iii) 19 business park facilities. The Company's revenues are generated principally through the operation of its real estate facilities. The Company's core business, however, is the operation of mini-warehouse facilities which, during the six months ended June 30, 1995, represented approximately 90% of the Company's property operations (based on 1995 rental income). 15 Property net operating income for the Same Store facilities increased by $281,000 or 2.7% from $10,415,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $10,696,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense for the Same Store facilities increased by $581,000 or 4.0% from $14,694,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $15,275,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. These increases are principally due to increased average rental rates. Weighted average occupancy levels were 90% for the Same Store facilities for each of the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. Realized monthly rent per square foot for these facilities was $0.60 and $0.58 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Property operating expenses prior to the reduction for depreciation increased by $95,000 or 1% from $8,223,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $8,318,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The Newly Acquired facilities contributed approximately $9,030,000 and $3,474,000 of property net operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively ($11,969,000 and $4,612,000 of property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively). These increases reflect the acquisition of 85 and 71 mini-warehouses in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Property net operating income for Newly Acquired facilities which were owned throughout each of the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (52 facilities), were $2,727,000 and $2,449,000 respectively, representing an increase of $278,000 or 11% ($3,582,000 and $3,297,000 of property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $285,000 or 9%). These increases are principally due to increased weighted average occupancy levels combined with an increase in average rental rates. Weighted average occupancy levels were 89% for these 52 facilities for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 88% for the same period in 1994. Realized monthly rent per square foot for these facilities was $0.65 and $0.63 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Property operating expenses for these 52 facilities (prior to the reduction for depreciation) decreased by $33,000 or 1.8% from $1,830,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $1,797,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Property net operating income of the Company's business park operations increased by $421,000 from $655,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $1,076,000 for the same period in 1995. Property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense with respect to the Company's business park operations increased by $435,000 from $1,880,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $2,315,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase is due principally to the acquisition of a business park facility during the second quarter of 1994 which contributed approximately $194,000 to the increase in the property net operating income. Weighted average occupancy levels were 96% for the business park facilities for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 94% for the same period in 1994. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for the business park facilities was $0.73 and $0.69 for the three months ended June 30 1995 and 1994, respectively. 16 Interest and other income increased from $1,643,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $1,818,000 for the same period in 1995 for a net increase of $175,000. The increase is primarily attributable to increased interest income on cash balances invested in short-term interest bearing securities partially offset with reduced interest income from mortgage notes receivable. On May 31, 1994, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock raising net proceeds of approximately $82 million. Throughout the month of June 1995, the net proceeds remained invested in short-term interest bearing securities (with weighted average yields of approximately 5.6% per annum). As a result interest income from cash balances increased by approximately $668,000. SEE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company canceled approximately $8,466,000 and $24,441,000 of mortgage notes receivable during 1995 and 1994, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of real estate facilities securing such notes. As a result, interest income from mortgage notes receivable decreased from $1,352,000 to $494,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively, as the average outstanding mortgage notes receivable balance was significantly lower ($15,911,000) during the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 ($48,109,000). Depreciation and amortization expense was $8,779,000 and $6,730,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $2,049,000 which is due to the acquisition of additional properties in 1994 and 1995. Net income allocable to the common shareholders includes net depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $6,133,000 ($0.18 per common share) and $3,232,000 ($0.14 per common share) for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This increase is due to increased depreciation from the acquisition of real estate facilities combined with increased allocations of depreciation from the consolidated PSP Partnerships to the Company's shareholders. During 1994 and 1995, the Company acquired additional partnership interests in the PSP Partnerships (see below) and as a result an increasing amount of depreciation expense from the existing real estate portfolio has been allocated to the Company rather than to the minority interest. "Minority interest in income" represents the income allocable to equity (partnership) interests in the PSP Partnerships (whose accounts are consolidated with the Company) which are not owned by the Company. Since 1990, the Company has acquired portions of these equity interests through its acquisition of limited and general partnership interests in the PSP Partnerships. These acquisitions have resulted in reductions to the "Minority interest in income" from what it would otherwise have been in the absence of such acquisitions, and accordingly, have increased the Company's share of the consolidated PSP Partnerships' income. In determining income allocable to the minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2,619,000 and $3,241,000, respectively, was allocated to the minority interest. The decrease in 17 depreciation allocated to the minority interest was principally the result of the acquisition of limited partnership units by the Company. The acquisition of these partnership interests has provided the Company with increased liquidity through cash distributions from the PSP Partnerships. The Company has and expects to continue to acquire additional partnership interests in the PSP Partnerships during 1995. Advisory fees increased by $579,000 from $1,237,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1994 to $1,816,000 for the same period in 1995. The advisory fee, which is based on a contractual computation, increased as a result of increased adjusted net income (as defined) per common share combined with the issuance of additional preferred and common stock during 1994 and 1995. Six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the six months ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 ---- Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $29,751,000 compared to $18,940,000 for the same period in 1994, representing an increase of $10,811,000. Net income allocable to common shareholders increased to $16,443,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $11,642,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994. The increase in net income and net income allocable to common shareholders were primarily the result of improved property operations for the Same Store facilities, the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1995 and 1994, and the acquisition of additional partnership interests during 1995 and 1994. Net income per common share was $.50 per share (based on weighted average shares outstanding of 32,707,556) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $.52 per share (based on weighted average shares outstanding of 22,436,885) for the same period in 1994. The decrease in net income per share was principally due to increasing depreciation expense allocable to the common stock shareholders, including depreciation allocable to the limited partnership interests acquired by the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, property net operating income (rental income less cost of operations and depreciation expense) improved compared to the same period in 1994. Rental income increased $22,821,000 or 35% from $65,247,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $88,068,000 for the same period in 1995, cost of operations increased $7,654,000 or 31% from $24,688,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $32,342,000 for the same period in 1995 and depreciation expense increased by $3,451,000 from $13,453,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $16,904,000 for the same period in 1995, resulting in a net increase in property net operating income of $11,716,000 or 43%. Property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense increased by $15,167,000 or 37% from $40,559,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $55,726,000 for the same period in 1995. 18 Property net operating income for the Same Store facilities increased by $785,000 or 4.0% from $19,758,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $20,543,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense for the Same Store facilities increased by $1,302,000 or 4.6% from $28,484,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $29,786,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. These increases are principally due to increased average rental rates. Weighted average occupancy levels were 89% for the Same Store facilities for each of the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. Realized monthly rent per square foot for these facilities was $.60 and $.58 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Property operating expenses prior to the reduction for depreciation increased by $286,000 or 2% from $16,503,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $16,789, 000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Newly Acquired facilities contributed approximately $16,364,000 and $6,420,000 of property net operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively ($21,472,000 and $8,457,000 of property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively). These increases reflect the acquisition of 85 and 71 mini-warehouses in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Property net operating income for Newly Acquired facilities which were owned throughout each of the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (52 facilities), were $5,314,000 and $4,955,000 respectively, representing an increase of $359,000 or 7% ($6,997,000 and $6,542,000 of property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $455,000 or 7%). These increases are principally due to increased weighted average occupancy levels combined with an increase in average rental rates. Weighted average occupancy levels were 88% for these 52 facilities for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 87% for the same period in 1994. Realized monthly rent per square foot for these facilities was $0.65 and $0.63 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Property operating expenses for these 52 facilities (prior to the reduction for depreciation) increased by $89,000 or 2.5% from $3,542,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $3,631,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Property net operating income with respect to the Company's business park operations increased by $987,000 from $928,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $1,915,000 for the same period in 1995. Property net operating income prior to the reduction for depreciation expense with respect to the Company's business park operations increased by $850,000 from $3,618,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $4,468,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase is due principally to the acquisition of a business park facility during the second quarter of 1994 which contributed approximately $469,000 to the increase in the property net operating income. Weighted average occupancy levels were 96% for the business park facilities for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 95% for the same period in 1994. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for the business park facilities was $0.73 and $0.68 for the six months ended June 30 1995 and 1994, respectively. 19 Interest and other income decreased from $3,293,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $3,042,000 for the same period in 1995 for a net decrease of $251,000. The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in interest income from mortgage notes receivable partially offset by increased interest income on the cash balances. The Company canceled approximately $8,466,000 and $24,441,000 of mortgage notes receivable during 1995 and 1994, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of real estate facilities securing such notes. As a result, interest income from the mortgage notes receivable decreased from $2,641,000 to $1,120,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, as the average outstanding mortgage notes receivable balance was significantly lower ($18,950,000) during the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 ($48,055,000). As of June 30, 1995, the mortgage notes bear interest at stated rates ranging from 8.5% to 11.97% and effective interest rates ranging from 10.0% to 14.8%. As noted above, on May 31, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock raising net proceeds of approximately $82 million. Throughout the month of June 1995, the net proceeds remained invested in short-term interest bearing securities (with weighted average yields of approximately 5.6% per annum). SEE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Depreciation and amortization expense was $16,926,000 and $13,541,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $3,385,000 which is due to the acquisition of additional properties in 1994 and 1995. Net income allocable to the common shareholders includes net depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $11,467,000 ($0.35 per common share) and $5,741,000 ($0.26 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This increase is due to increased depreciation from the acquisition of real estate facilities combined with increased allocations of depreciation from the consolidated PSP Partnerships to the Company's shareholders. During 1994 and 1995, the Company acquired additional partnership interests in the PSP Partnerships (see below) and as a result an increasing amount of depreciation expense from the existing real estate portfolio has been allocated to the Company rather than to the minority interest. General and administrative expense was $1,736,000 and $1,380,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $356,000. This increase is due to the growth in the Company's capital base combined with certain costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of additional real estate facilities. "Minority interest in income" represents the income allocable to equity (partnership) interests in the PSP Partnerships (whose accounts are consolidated with the Company) which are not owned by the Company. Since 1990, the Company has acquired portions of these equity interests through its acquisition of limited and general partnership interests in the PSP Partnerships. These acquisitions have resulted in reductions to the "Minority interest in income" from what it would otherwise have been in the absence of such acquisitions, and accordingly, have increased the Company's share of the consolidated PSP Partnerships' income. In determining income allocable to the minority 20 interest for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $5,392,000 and $7,294,000, respectively, was allocated to the minority interest. The decrease in depreciation allocated to the minority interest was principally the result of the acquisition of limited partnership units by the Company. Advisory fees increased by $1,070,000 from $2,356,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 to $3,426,000 for the same period in 1995. The advisory fee, which is based on a contractual computation, increased as a result of increased adjusted net income (as defined) per common share combined with the issuance of additional preferred and common stock during 1994 and 1995. 21 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- Capital structure ----------------- The Company's financial profile is characterized by a low level of debt to total capitalization, increasing net income, increasing cash flow from operations, increasing funds from operations ("FFO") and a conservative dividend payout ratio with respect to its common stock. These attributes reflect management's desire to "match" asset and liability maturities, to minimize refinancing risks and to retain capital to take advantage of acquisition opportunities and to provide financial flexibility. Since 1992 the Company has taken a variety of steps to enhance its capital structure, including: . The public issuance of approximately $335 million of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock does not require redemption or sinking fund payments by the Company. . The public issuance of approximately $197 million of common stock. . The issuance of approximately $138.4 million of common stock in connection with the mergers with Public Storage Properties VIII, Inc., Public Storage Properties VI, Inc., and Public Storage Properties VII, Inc. . The retention of approximately $34.7 million of funds available for debt payments or investment. The Company does not believe it has any significant refinancing risks with respect to its mortgage debt and nominal interest rate risks associated with its variable rate mortgage debt which had a principal balance of $16.7 million at June 30, 1995. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company replaced its $115 million credit facility with a $125 million credit facility. The Company uses the credit facility primarily to fund acquisitions and provide financial flexibility and liquidity. The new credit facility (i) is unsecured, (ii) provides for interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus .75% to LIBOR plus 1.50%, based upon interest coverage levels attained by the Company, and (iii) matures in April 1998, with two one-year extensions. At June 30, 1995, the Company had no borrowings under the credit facility. As a result of these transactions, the Company's capitalization has increased. Shareholders' equity increased from $188,112,500 on December 31, 1991 to $892,664,000 on June 30, 1995. The increased equity combined with reductions in total debt has resulted in an improvement in the Company's debt to equity ratio from 55% at December 31, 1991 to 6.6% at June 30, 1995. The Company's ratio of debt to total assets also decreased from 19% at December 31, 1991 to 5.2% at June 30, 1995. Funds Available for Principal Payments and Investment: ------------------------------------------------------ The Company believes that important measures of its performance as well as its liquidity are funds available for principal payments and investment and funds provided by operating activities. 22 The Company believes that its rental revenues, distributions from real estate partnership interests and interest income will be sufficient over at least the next 12 months to meet the Company's operating expenses, capital improvements, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders. Net cash provided by operations (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) reflects the cash generated from the Company's business before distributions to various equity holders, including the preferred shareholders, capital expenditures or mandatory principal payments on debt. Net cash provided by operations has increased from $36,484,000 to $49,474,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company's ability to pay the minority interests' distributions, its dividends to the preferred shareholders and capital improvements to maintain the facilities through the use of funds provided by operating activities. The remaining cash flow is available to the Company to make both scheduled and optional principal payments on debt, pay distributions to common shareholders and for investment. 23

24 The increases in cash provided by operating activities and funds available for principal payments on debt, common dividends and investment over the past three years is primarily due to (i) increasing property net operating income at the Same Store facilities, (ii) the acquisition of limited and general partnership interests in the PSP Partnerships and (iii) the leverage created through the issuance of preferred stock and the utilization of the net proceeds in real estate investments which have provided net cash flows in excess of the preferred stock dividend requirements. These factors have improved the cash flow position of the common shareholders as FFO applicable to the common shareholders has increased over the same period at a rate greater than the increase in number of common shares. See the consolidated statements of cash flows for the each of the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 for additional information regarding the Company's investing and financing activities. FFO increased to $41,218,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $24,681,000 for the same period in 1994 ($22,684,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $13,426,000 for the same period in 1994). FFO applicable to the common shareholders (after deducting preferred stock dividends) increased to $27,910,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $17,383,000 for the same period in 1994 ($15,353,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $9,777,000 for the same period in 1994). FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. NAREIT has recently adopted revisions to the definition of funds from operations which will become effective in 1996. The most material impact of the new guidelines will be (i) amortization of deferred financing costs will be treated as an expense - i.e. it will no longer be treated as an add-back to net income and (ii) certain gains on sales of land will be included in funds from operations if deemed to be recurring. These changes will have no impact on the way the Company currently computes its FFO. FFO is a supplemental performance measure for equity real estate investment trusts used by industry analysts. FFO does not take into consideration scheduled principal payments on debt, capital improvements, distributions and other obligations of the Company. Accordingly, FFO is not a substitute for the Company's cash flow or net income (as discussed above) as a measure of the Company's liquidity or operating performance. On May 31, 1995, the Company issued 5,482,200 shares of its common stock in a public offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $82 million to be invested into real estate assets. Due to the timing of investing in real estate assets, the net proceeds remained substantially invested in interest bearing accounts throughout June 1995. The interest bearing accounts generated yields which were less than the cash yields generated by the Company's portfolio of real estate assets. Approximately $75 million and $33 million remained invested in interest bearing accounts at June 30, 1995 and July 31, 1995, respectively. The Company expects that substantially all the remaining net proceeds will be invested into real estate assets by the end of the third quarter. 25 During 1995, the Company has budgeted approximately $8 million for capital improvements ($2 million of which is directly attributable to the minority interest in respect of its ownership interest) to maintain its facilities. During the first six months of 1995, the Company incurred capital improvements of approximately $3.3 million. The Company believes that it is not subject to any significant refinancing risks. During 1993 and 1994, the Company either repaid or extended the maturities of its mortgage notes such that in no year, until 1999, will there be more than $9 million of principal payments on mortgage notes becoming due and payable. The Company believes its geographically diverse portfolio has resulted in a relatively stable and predictable investment portfolio with increasing overall property performance over the past four years. Distributions ------------- Over the past three years, the Company has established a conservative distribution policy that is, among other things, supported by its cash flow from operations (after capital expenditures and debt service), availability of cash to make such distributions and the Company's ability to maintain its REIT status. The Company's policy is also conservative with respect to FFO. The Company's conservative distribution policy permits it after funding its distributions and capital improvements, to retain significant funds to make additional investments and debt reductions. For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company distributed to common shareholders 53%, and 57% of its FFO available to common shareholders, respectively. Distributions to shareholders during the first six months of 1995 were as follows:
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 --------------------------------------------- Distributions Per Share Total Distributions ----------------------- ------------------- Series A $1.250 $ 2,282,000 Series B $1.150 2,744,000 Series C $1.066 1,279,000 Series D $1.188 1,426,000 Series E $1.042 2,286,000 Series F $0.400 919,000 Convertible $1.031 2,372,000 ----------- 13,308,000 Common $0.440 14,886,000 ----------- $28,194,000 ===========
Dividends with respect to the Series E and Series F Preferred Stock are pro rated from the date of issuance (February 1, 1995 and May 3, 1995, respectively). The annual distribution requirement with respect to the Series E and Series F Preferred stock are $2.50 and $2.44 per share, respectively. The dividend rate on the Series C Preferred Stock is adjusted quarterly such that the dividend rate per annum will be equal to the highest of one of three U.S. Treasury indices (Treasury Bill Rate, Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate, and Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%. However, the dividend rate for any dividend period will not be less than 6.75% per annum nor greater than 10.75% per annum. The 26 dividend rate with respect to the second quarter of 1995 was equal to 8.393% per annum and is 7.249% per annum for the third quarter of 1995. REIT Distribution Requirement ----------------------------- As a REIT, the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders provided that at least 95% of its taxable income is so distributed prior to filing of the Company's tax return. The Company has satisfied the REIT distribution requirement since 1980. Increasing Ownership of Real Estate Assets ------------------------------------------ The Company's growth strategies have focused on improving the operating performance of its existing properties (as discussed above) and on increasing its ownership of mini-warehouses through additional investments. During 1995, the Company acquired 84 mini-warehouse facilities, three business park facilities and one combination mini-warehouse/business park facility for an aggregate cost of $222,540,000. The acquisitions were financed through a combination of the issuance of equity securities, cancellation of mortgage notes receivable, assumption of debt and payment of cash. Sixty-one of these facilities were acquired pursuant to merger transactions. On February 28, 1995, the Company completed a merger transaction with Public Storage Properties VI, Inc. ("Properties 6") whereby the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Properties 6 in exchange for cash and common stock of the Company. In the merger, Properties 6 was merged with and into the Company, and the outstanding Properties 6 common stock (2,716,223 shares) was converted into an aggregate of approximately (i) 3,147,015 shares of the Company's common stock (with a value of approximately $43,915,000) and (ii) $21,427,000 in cash. Properties 6, a real estate investment trust and an affiliate of the Company's investment adviser, owned and operated 22 mini-warehouse facilities and one combination mini- warehouse/business park facility prior to the merger. On June 30, 1995, the Company completed a merger transaction with Public Storage Properties VII, Inc. ("Properties 7") whereby the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Properties 7 in exchange for cash and common stock of the Company. In the merger, Properties 7 was merged with and into the Company, and the outstanding Properties 7 common stock (3,806,491 shares) was converted into an aggregate of approximately (i) 3,517,272 shares of the Company's common stock (with a value of approximately $56,057,000) and (ii) $14,007,000 in cash. Properties 7, a real estate investment trust and an affiliate of the Company's investment adviser, owned and operated 34 mini-warehouse facilities, three business park facilities and one combination mini-warehouse/business park facility prior to the merger. In March 1995, the Company acquired two parcels of land located in Atlanta, Georgia on which the Company is currently developing mini-warehouse facilities. One of the facilities is scheduled to open in late August 1995 and the other is schedule to open in December 1995. The estimated aggregate cost of these facilities is approximately $8 million. 27 Future Transactions ------------------- The Company intends to continue to expand its asset and capital base through the acquisition of real estate assets and interests in real estate assets from unaffiliated parties and affiliates of the Adviser through direct purchases, mergers, tender offers or other transactions. The Company expects to fund these transactions with borrowings under its $125 million credit facility combined with undistributed operating cash flow. The Company intends to repay amounts borrowed under the credit facility from undistributed operating cash flow or from the public or private placement of securities. Proposed Merger and Restructure ------------------------------- The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among PSI, PSMI and the Company, dated as of June 30, 1995.

Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 1995, on any date that such Base Rate Loan is converted to a LIBOR Loan, on the date of any prepayment as to the amount of such prepayment, and on the Termination Date. Interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (provided, however, that interest on each LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of six (6) months shall be paid three (3) months after commencement of such Interest Period), on any date when such LIBOR Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan, on the date on which any LIBOR Loan is prepaid as to the amount of such prepayment, and on the Termination Date. While any Event of Default exists or after Acceleration, the Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable rate provided above plus two percent (2%) per annum. All other Obligations, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the date when due until paid, at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus two percent (2%) per annum. (b) Extensions and Conversions. Subject to the terms and conditions -------------------------- hereof, the Borrower shall have the option at any time to convert all or any part of a Loan into a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that a LIBOR Loan may be converted only as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may extend a LIBOR Loan beyond its current Interest Period. In the case of a proposed conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or an extension of a LIBOR Loan, an Authorized Representative shall give the Agent telephone notice not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at least three (3) -28- Banking Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion or extension, confirmed by a written notice in the form of Exhibit 2.2(b) attached hereto (a "Notice of Conversion/Extension") executed by an Authorized Representative and received by the Agent by facsimile on the day of such telephone notice. In the case of a proposed conversion into a Base Rate Loan, an Authorized Representative shall give the Agent telephone notice not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at least one (1) Banking Day prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period confirmed by a Notice of Conversion/Extension executed by any Authorized Representative and received by the Agent by facsimile the day of such telephone notice. Any notice given by an Authorized Representative under this Paragraph 2.2(b) shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 2.2(b), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the last day of an Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, then such Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan. Unless the Agent receives notice of a proposed conversion or extension as and when required hereunder, then at the end of an Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. (c) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of -------------- each Bank a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") on the average daily unused portion of such Bank's Commitment Amount at a rate per annum determined as set forth below for each calendar quarter based upon the Applicable Interest Coverage Ratio determined as of the first Banking Day of such calendar quarter: Applicable Interest Coverage Ratio Commitment Fee ------------------- -------------- Less than 7.0 to 1.0 0.375% Equal to or greater than 7.0 to 1.0, but less than 10.0 to 1.0 0.325% Equal to or greater than 10.0 to 1.0, but less than 13.0 to 1.0 0.300% Equal to or greater than 13.0 to 1.0, but less than 15.0 to 1.0 0.275% Equal to or greater than 15.0 to 1.0 0.250% provided, however, that, irrespective of the Applicable Interest Coverage Ratio, if on the first Banking Day of any calendar -29- quarter Borrower's Preferred Stock is not rated Investment Grade, the Commitment Fee payable in respect of such quarter shall be calculated at a rate per annum equal to 0.50%. Such commitment fee shall (i) be computed on a daily basis based on the respective Commitment Amount of each Bank in effect on each day, (ii) accrue from the Initial Closing Date to the Termination Date and (iii) be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Banking Day of each quarter commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 1995 and on the Termination Date. For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee payable to Wells Fargo, amounts outstanding under the Swing Line shall not be considered outstanding Loans, and shall not reduce the "unused portion" of Wells Fargo's Commitment Amount. The Borrower acknowledges that the effect of the preceding sentence is to require the Borrower to pay both interest and a Commitment Fee with respect to any Swing Line Loan outstanding on any day. (d) Computation of Interest and Commitment Fee. Interest and the ------------------------------------------ Commitment Fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. (e) Illegality, Taxation and Additional Interest Rate Provisions. ------------------------------------------------------------ (i) In the event the Agent shall have reasonably determined (which reasonable determination shall be conclusive and binding) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Base LIBOR, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower. If such notice is given, and until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no additional LIBOR Loans shall be made and no additional conversions of Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be permitted, and at the end of the Interest Period relating to any outstanding LIBOR Loans, such Loans shall become Base Rate Loans. (ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, treaty, rule or regulation, or determination of a court or other Governmental Authority, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for a Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, as contemplated by this Agreement, the obligation of such Bank hereunder to make LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be canceled, and each LIBOR Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall immediately become a Base Rate Loan. (iii) In the event that any adoption or modification of any law, treaty, rule or regulation, or -30- determination of a court or other Governmental Authority, or that any change in the interpretation or application thereof, which adoption, modification or change becomes effective after the Initial Closing Date, or in the event that compliance by a Bank with any request or directive issued after the date hereof (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority: (A) does or shall subject a Bank or any of its foreign offices to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or any payments made to and received by such Bank of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; or (B) does or shall impose, modify, or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, other credit extended by or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of a Bank (other than to the extent previously taken into account in determining the Base Rate or Statutory Reserves); or (C) does or shall impose on a Bank any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to a Bank of making, renewing or maintaining such Bank's Commitment Amount or the Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or under any of the Loan Documents; then, in any such case, such Bank shall notify the Borrower of any such event of which it has knowledge and shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower a written statement in reasonable detail of the losses or expenses sustained or incurred, and any reasonable allocation made by such Bank of such losses and expenses shall be conclusive. The Borrower shall, upon demand, pay the amount of such losses and expenses. (f) Capital Adequacy Requirements. If any Bank shall have determined that ----------------------------- the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank (or its lending office) or any corporation controlling such Bank, with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such central bank or other authority, -31- affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank, and such Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its obligation under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Bank, the Borrower shall immediately pay to such Bank, from time to time as specified by the Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increase as set forth in a reasonably detailed statement. 2.3 Payments. -------- (a) Payment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay all Loans then outstanding ---------------- on the Termination Date. (b) Optional Prepayment. Subject to the following and the provisions of ------------------- Paragraph 2.3(d) hereof, the Borrower may at any time prepay, upon not less than one (1) Banking Day's prior notice to the Agent in the case of Base Rate Loans, or three (3) Banking Days' prior written notice to the Agent as to any LIBOR Loans, any or all of the Loans in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. Each such prepayment shall include interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the amount of such prepayment. Any such notice of prepayment shall specify the amount of the prepayment. Any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of two million Dollars ($2,000,000) and in a principal amount which is an integral multiple of ten thousand Dollars ($10,000). (c) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) If at any time the aggregate principal --------------------- amount of the Loans outstanding exceeds the Total Commitment Amount then in effect, or if the aggregate principal amount of Affiliate Acquisition Loans outstanding exceeds the Affiliate Acquisition Loan Limit then in effect, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank the amount of such excess (as a prepayment in respect of the Loans), plus any amount due under Paragraph 2.3(d) hereof as a result of such prepayment. (ii) The Borrower shall make prepayments to the Banks in respect of the Loans in amounts equal to: (A) one hundred percent (100%) of all net cash proceeds in excess of five million dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate during any fiscal year received by the Borrower from sales of assets by the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Controlled Partnership (and, for purposes of this subparagraph, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received its Percentage Interest of net proceeds of any such sale by a Subsidiary or a Controlled Partnership); (B) one hundred percent (100%) of all net cash proceeds received by Borrower from any issuance by the -32- Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Partnership of debt or equity securities; and (C) one hundred percent (100%) of all net cash proceeds received by the Borrower from or as a result of the dissolution of any of the Borrower's Subsidiaries or any Controlled Partnership (and, for purposes of this sub-paragraph, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received its Percentage Interest of any net cash proceeds of any such dissolution). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in any fiscal year, the Borrower receives or is deemed to receive an amount in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of the consolidated assets of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries (determined as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year) in the aggregate from all transactions described in clauses (A) and (C) of this Section, then (to the extent required by the terms of the PSMI Term Notes) such excess shall be paid pro rata to the Banks and the holders of the PSMI Term Notes in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof. (d) Payments Prior to Interest Period Expiration. The Borrower hereby -------------------------------------------- agrees to indemnify and hold the Banks free and harmless from any loss or expense (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Banks to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan and in addition to any interest or other payments which may be due the Banks under this Agreement) which the Banks may incur as a result of (i) the termination of this Agreement without the occurrence of the Initial Closing Date, other than by reason of a default by the Banks, (ii) the failure by the Borrower to accept or complete a borrowing, conversion or extension with respect to a LIBOR Loan after making a request therefor, (iii) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after notice has been given in accordance with Paragraph 2.3(b) hereof, (iv) a prepayment in whole or in part (whether optional or mandatory) of any LIBOR Loan prior to the expiration of a related Interest Period, or (v) the conversion of a LIBOR Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Paragraph 2.2(e) hereof. The Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a written statement in reasonable detail of any amounts due the Banks as provided above, and such statement, in the absence of manifest error, shall be fixed and binding on both parties. In no event shall any amounts be payable by the Banks to the Borrower under this Paragraph 2.3(d). (e) Payments by the Borrower. All payments (including prepayments) ------------------------ required to be made to the Banks on account of principal, interest, fees or other Obligations shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the Banks, at the Agent's Regional Commercial Banking Office in El Monte, California, in Dollars and in -33- immediately available funds no later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time). The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its Commitment Percentage of such principal, interest, fees or other amounts, in like funds as received. Any such amount payable to the Banks which is received by the Agent and is not distributed to a Bank within two (2) Banking Days after receipt shall be payable to such Bank with interest for the period from and after such second Banking Day until paid at the daily Federal Funds Rate. Any payment which is received by the Agent later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Banking Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent such payment has not been made in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as in effect from time to time. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Agent to debit the Borrower's Account or any other account maintained by the Borrower with the Agent for any payment due the Agent or the Banks hereunder. (f) Payments by the Banks to the Agent. Each Bank shall make available to ---------------------------------- the Agent in immediately available funds for deposit to the Borrower's Account the amount of such Bank's Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank at least one Banking Day prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount of that Bank's Commitment Percentage of the proposed Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on the borrowing date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, that Bank shall within two (2) Banking Days following the date of such Borrowing make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate as in effect for each day during such period. A notice from the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Paragraph 2.3(f) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If -34- such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Bank's Loan on the date of the Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Agent within two (2) Banking Days following the date of such Borrowing, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any date of any proposed Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on such date. (g) Sharing of Payments, etc. If at any time any Bank shall obtain on ------------------------- account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Commitment Percentage of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such -------- ------- excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price paid thereto together with an amount equal to such paying Bank's Commitment Percentage (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Bank's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Paragraph 2.3(g) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of offset in Paragraph 2.3(h) hereof), with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error), of participations purchased pursuant to this Paragraph 2.3(g) and shall in each case notify the Banks following any such purchases. (h) Offset. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset ------ that the Banks may have under applicable law, the Banks, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Acceleration, shall have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of all Obligations any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter with the Banks. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the -35- Borrower and the Agent after any such offset and application made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the - -------- ------- validity of such offset and application. The rights of each Bank under this Paragraph 2.3(h) are in addition to the other rights and remedies which such Bank may have. (i) Allocation of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in Section ---------------------- 3.2(c), all payments made by the Borrower to the Agent which are allocable to principal amounts of outstanding Loans shall be allocated in accordance with the Borrower's instructions; or in the absence of such instructions, such payments shall be allocated first to Permitted Acquisition Loans and Affiliate Acquisition Loans, pro rata in accordance with the respective outstanding amounts thereof, and then to other Loans. 2.4 Swing Line. ---------- (a) Swing Line. In the event that Agent receives a Loan Request for a Base ---------- Rate Loan which Loan Request expressly requests funds on the same Banking Day that the Agent receives such Loan Request, then, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Wells Fargo hereby agrees to make a portion of Wells Fargo's Commitment available to the Borrower by making loans under the Swing Line (each a "Swing Line Loan"), in accordance with this Paragraph 2.4, the proceeds of which shall be used exclusively for the purposes permitted pursuant to Paragraph 2.1(a) hereof. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made on the same Banking Day that the Agent receives a Loan Request in accordance with Paragraph 2.1(c) hereof. The Borrower's obligations to repay all Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note in favor of the Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a) (the "Swing Line Note"). (b) Borrowing and Repayment. The Borrower may from time to time during the ----------------------- term of the Swing Line, borrow, partially or wholly repay outstanding borrowings and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that no Swing Line Loan shall be available if such Swing Line Loan would cause (i) the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Swing Line Loans to exceed thirty million Dollars ($30,000,000), (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Swing Line Loans and the aggregate principal balance of all other Loans to exceed the Total Commitment Amount then in effect, or (iii) the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding Swing Line Loans and the aggregate principal balance of all other Loans by Wells Fargo to exceed Wells Fargo's Commitment Amount then in effect. All Swing Line Loans shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 2.4, be upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, interest terms) of this Agreement applicable to Base Rate Loans, and, if not repaid or refunded earlier (as set forth hereinbelow), shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. -36- With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily repaid by the Borrower or refunded by a Bank as provided herein, such Bank shall, on the Banking Day immediately following the day on which such Swing Line Loan was made, pay to the Agent, for the account of Wells Fargo, an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the subject Swing Line Loan (the "Swing Line Loan Refund"). On the Banking Day on which a Swing Line Loan Refund is received by the Agent, (i) the Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to be repaid in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan Refund, and (ii) the Bank paying such Swing Line Loan Refund shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such Swing Line Loan Refund. Nothing in this Paragraph 2.4 shall reduce any of the obligations of any Bank under Paragraphs 2.1 or 2.3(f) hereof. If, as a result of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower, payments of Swing Line Loan Refunds are not made pursuant to this Paragraph 2.4(b) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Agent in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans, each Unfunded Bank shall be deemed to have purchased and hereby agrees to purchase a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the amount payable by such Unfunded Bank to the Agent in accordance with this Paragraph 2.4(b). Upon one Banking Day's notice from the Agent, any such Unfunded Bank shall pay to the Agent for the account of Wells Fargo an amount equal to the amount of such participation in same day funds at the Agent's Regional Commercial Banking Office in El Monte, California. In the event any such Unfunded Bank fails to pay to the Agent the amount of such Unfunded Bank's participation as provided in this paragraph, interest shall accrue on the amount due at the daily Federal Funds Rate for a period ending on the third Banking Day following the date such amount was due, and at the Base Rate thereafter. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Bank's obligation to make Base Rate Loans for the purpose of paying any Swing Line Loan Refund and each Bank's obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Agent, the Borrower or any other person or entity for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an Acceleration; (C) any Material Adverse Change; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that no Bank shall be obligated to pay any Swing Line Loan Refund if such Bank demonstrates that, without such Bank's consent or an effective waiver by Majority Banks, Wells Fargo advanced the relevant Swing Line Loan with actual knowledge that any applicable condition set -37- forth in Article 4 was not satisfied at the time such Swing Line Loan was advanced. ARTICLE 3 --------- Transition Provisions; Release of Collateral -------------------------------------------- 3.1 Exchange of Notes. Prior to the Initial Closing Date, each Bank shall ----------------- deposit with the Agent the promissory note (including the "Swing Line Note" as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Old Notes") held by such Bank, and the Agent shall hold the Old Notes, as bailee for the account of such respective Banks pending the Initial Closing Date. On the Initial Closing Date, upon the Borrower's delivery to the Agent of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.1(d) and the Swing Line Note, the Agent shall cancel the Old Notes, return the cancelled Old Notes to the Borrower and deliver the Notes to the respective Banks and the Swing Line Note to Wells Fargo. 3.2 Transfer of Loan Balances. (a) As of the Initial Closing Date, all ------------------------- Loans made pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement and not theretofore repaid in full ("Continuing Loans") shall constitute Loans under this Agreement and, subject to Sections 3.2(b) and 3.2(c), shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As of the Initial Closing Date, the principal amount of each such Loan shall be deemed to be outstanding under and evidenced by the Note to the order of the Bank which advanced such Loan. From and after the Initial Closing Date, interest on Continuing Loans which were "Base Rate Loans" (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) shall constitute Base Rate Loans, as defined herein, and shall bear interest as such in accordance with Section 2.2(a). (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2(a), each Continuing Loan which is a "LIBOR Loan" (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) shall continue to bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with Section 2.2(a) of the Original Loan Agreement until the last day of the Interest Period for such Continuing Loan. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(e) to the contrary, until the principal amount of all Continuing Loans and all other Obligations in respect of Continuing Loans have been paid in full, (i) all principal payments by Borrower (unless expressly designated by the Borrower to be applicable to LIBOR Loans) shall be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of Continuing Loans which are Base Rate Loans, before application to any Loans advanced on or after the Initial Closing Date; -38- (ii) on the last day of any Interest Period for any Continuing Loans which are LIBOR Loans, unless the Borrower pays the principal balance of such LIBOR Loans, such LIBOR Loans shall be extended or converted in accordance with Section 2.2(b); as among the Banks, such extension or conversion shall be deemed to be a repayment of the outstanding principal balance of such Continuing Loans (to be allocated among the Banks according to the Old Commitment Percentages) and an advance of new Loans (pro rata in accordance with the Commitment Percentages); and the Banks shall make appropriate cash adjustments, as determined by Agent, to reflect such deemed repayment and advance; and (iii) all payments of interest, principal, fees and other Obligations in respect of Continuing Loans shall be distributed by the Agent to the Banks in accordance with the Old Commitment Percentages. 3.3 Release of Collateral. As of the Initial Closing Date, the Pledge --------------------- Agreement and the Liens granted pursuant thereto shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except that the Obligations of the Borrower which arise under the Pledge Agreement prior to the Initial Closing Date, to the extent not fully performed, shall remain in effect). On or after the Initial Closing Date, the Agent, on behalf of the Banks and at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower may request which are reasonably necessary to evidence the release and termination of such Liens. ARTICLE 4 --------- Conditions Precedent -------------------- 4.1 Conditions to Initial Borrowing.

The representations and -------------------------------------- warranties set forth in Article 5 hereof shall be true and correct on the Initial Closing Date, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated to occur on such date; (g) Legality of Transactions.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. The Agent shall exercise the Banks' rights arising upon the occurrence of an Event of Default only as directed by Majority Banks, except that the Agent may take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Banks if the delay required to obtain direction from the other Banks could, in the Agent's judgment, be contrary to the best interests of the Banks. 9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under -------------------- this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care. 9.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent, its Affiliates, or any of ------------------ their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys-in-fact (collectively, the "Agent-Related Persons") shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of the Controlled Partnerships or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value of any Collateral or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any -70- obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Partnership. 9.4 Reliance by Agent. ----------------- (a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks. (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 hereof, each Bank shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Banks unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the extension of a Borrowing specifying its objection thereto and either such objection shall not have been withdrawn by notice to the Agent to that effect or such Bank shall not have made available to the Agent the Bank's ratable portion of such Borrowing. 9.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or ----------------- notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees payable to the Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks. The Agent shall take such action -71- with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be requested by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article 8; provided, however, that unless and -------- ------- until the Agent shall have received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks; and provided, further, that, the Agent shall not, without the approval of Majority Banks, take action to accelerate the Obligations. 9.6 Credit Decision. Each Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the --------------- Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 9.7 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent-Related --------------- Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their outstanding Loans, or, if no Loans are outstanding, their outstanding Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the repayment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such person any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the -72- transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any such person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such person's gross negligence or willful misconduct or resulting from an action by the Agent which the Agent knows to be in violation of this Agreement (unless Majority Banks shall have directed Agent to take such action). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and the allocated cost of in-house counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. 9.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo Bank and any successor ---------------------------- Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Controlled Partnerships as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to the Banks. With respect to its Loans, Wells Fargo Bank and any successor Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Bank" and "Banks" shall include Wells Fargo Bank and any successor Agent in its individual capacity. 9.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may, and at the request of the Majority --------------- Banks shall, resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Banks. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent shall appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and Paragraphs 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. -73- 9.10 Borrower's Reliance. Except as to matters requiring action by ------------------- Majority Banks or all of the Banks, the Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any notice, instruction or other communication delivered by the Agent as if such notice, instruction or other communication were delivered by the Banks. Upon the Borrower's request, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower any evidence of action by Majority Banks or all of the Banks. ARTICLE 10 ---------- Miscellaneous ------------- 10.1 Successors and Assigns and Sale of Interests. -------------------------------------------- (a) The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 10.1, the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any of the rights, duties or obligations of the Borrower hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Banks. (b) Any Bank, with the written consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (but which consent shall not be required at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Paragraphs 8.1(a) or 8.1(j) hereof), and with the written consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, may at any time assign and delegate to any Person, or, with notice to the Borrower and the Agent but without the consent of either the Borrower or the Agent, may assign and delegate to any of its wholly owned Affiliates (each an "Assignee") all or any part of the Loans or the Commitments or any other rights or obligations of such Bank hereunder in a minimum amount of ten million Dollars ($10,000,000), representing the principal amount of the Loans assigned plus the amount of the Commitment Percentage so assigned multiplied by the Total Commitment Amount; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such Bank and the Assignee, and (ii) such Bank and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit 10.1(b) ("Assignment and Acceptance") together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; and (iii) the processing fees of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500) shall have been paid to the Agent. (c) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Bank that it has received the Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, -74- to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under the Loan Documents and (ii) assignor Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents. (d) Within five (5) Banking Days after its receipt of notice by the Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes evidencing such Assignee's assigned Loans and Commitment Amount and, if the assignor Bank has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment Amount, replacement Notes in the Commitment Amount retained by the assignor Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes held by such Bank). Immediately upon each Assignee's making its payment under the Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Assignor's Commitment Amount arising therefrom. The Commitment Amount allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the Commitment Amount of the assigning Bank pro tanto. --------- (e) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment Amount of that Bank or any other interest of that Bank hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the selling Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the selling Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) no Bank shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent as described in the first proviso to Paragraph 10.3 hereof. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation, except that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement. -75- 10.2 No Implied Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power ----------------- or remedy accruing to the Agent or any Bank upon any breach or default of any of the Borrower under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Bank, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default occurring thereafter, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring theretofore or thereafter. 10.3 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of ---------------------- this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no consent with respect to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do any of the following: (a) increase the Commitment Amount of any Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligations; (b) postpone or delay any date fixed for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due hereunder or under any Loan Document; (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on any Loan, or of any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any Loan Document; (d) change the definition of "Majority Banks" or the percentage of the aggregate Commitment Percentages or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action hereunder; (e) amend this Paragraph 10.3; or (f) amend any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to eliminate or modify a provision referring to a requirement that all Banks act unanimously in any matter; and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Majority Banks, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) the definition of "Majority Banks" or the percentage of the aggregate Commitment Percentages or of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action hereunder may be changed without the consent of the Borrower. -76- 10.4 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies, either under this ------------------- Agreement or any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise afforded to the Agent or the Banks shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder or thereunder does not preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right. 10.5 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of ------------ the other Loan Documents which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall be, only as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall remain valid. 10.6 Costs, Expenses and Attorneys' Fees. The Borrower shall reimburse ----------------------------------- the Agent for all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including the allocated cost of the Agent's internal counsel) and appraisal, audit, review, search and filing fees and expenses, expended or incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, in connection with the initial Borrowing, in amending this Agreement, or extending any waiver or consent hereunder, or in any transaction referred to in Paragraph 10.1(b) hereof, and shall reimburse the Agent and the Banks for all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including the allocated cost of the Agent's internal counsel), expended or incurred by the Agent or any Bank in collecting any sum which becomes due under the Notes or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or in the protection, perfection, preservation and enforcement of any and all rights of the Agent or any Bank in connection with the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the fees and costs incurred in any out-of-court work-out or a bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding. This obligation on the part of the Borrower shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, with or without occurrence of the Initial Closing Date. 10.7 General Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each ----------------------- Bank, the Agent and each of their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, attorneys and agents (collectively referred to herein as the "Bank Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any expenses (including attorneys' fees and the allocated cost of in-house counsel) incurred by any such Bank Indemnitee in connection with any investigation in connection with any such matter, whether or not any such Bank Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Bank -77- Indemnitees by any Person other than the Bank with which such Bank Indemnitee is affiliated (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations, including, without limitation, securities, environmental and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or at equitable cause, or on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto; the making of Loans hereunder, the management of the Loans (including any liability under federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations), the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Bank Indemnitee under this Paragraph 10.7 with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent such Indemnified Matters were caused by or resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Bank Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Bank Indemnitees the maximum portion which the Borrower is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law. This indemnification shall survive repayment by the Borrower of all Loans made under this Agreement, and the termination of this Agreement without occurrence of the Initial Closing Date. 10.8 Environmental Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to ----------------------------- indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Bank Indemnitee, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including attorneys' fees and the allocated cost of in-house counsel), which may be incurred by or asserted against such Bank Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any pending or threatened investigation, litigation or proceeding, or any action taken by any Person, with respect to any Environmental Claim arising out of or related to any Controlled Property or the actions or omissions of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of the Controlled Partnerships. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by the Agent or any Bank in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested remedial, removal or response action shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower' obligations and duties hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Bank. In no event shall any site visit, observation, or testing by the Agent or any Bank be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on, or under the site, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation, or ordinance pertaining to Hazardous Materials or any other applicable Governmental Requirement. Neither the Borrower nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing by the Agent or any Bank. -78- Neither the Agent nor any Bank owes any duty of care to protect the Borrower or any other party against, or to inform the Borrower or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any site or property. Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower or any other party any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation, or testing by the Agent or any Bank. This indemnification shall survive repayment of all Loans made under this Agreement and termination of the Commitments, and the termination of this Agreement without occurrence of the Initial Closing Date. 10.9 Notices. Any notice which the Borrower, the Agent or any of the ------- Banks may be required or may desire to give to the other parties under any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing by electronic facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to have been given or made when transmitted and addressed to any Bank at the address set forth on the signature pages hereto or to the Agent or the Borrower as follows: To the Borrower: Storage Equities, Inc. 600 N.
