See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. REGENCY REALTY CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 1999 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Organization and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regency Realty Corporation, its wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries and partnerships (the "Company" or "Regency"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company owns approximately 97% of the outstanding common units of Regency Centers, L.P., ("RCLP" or the "Partnership") and partnership interests ranging from 51% to 93% in five majority owned real estate partnerships (the "Majority Partnerships"). The equity interests of third parties held in RCLP and the Majority Partner- ships are included in the consolidated financial statements as preferred or exchangeable operating partnership units and limited partners' interests in consolidated partnerships. The Company is a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") which began operations in 1993. The Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, and in the opinion of management, are necessary to properly state the results of operations and financial position. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1998 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (b) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 amounts to conform to classifications adopted in 1999. 2. Acquisitions On September 23, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger ("Agreement") with Pacific Retail Trust ("Pacific"), a privately held real estate investment trust. The Agreement, among other matters, provided for the merger of Pacific into Regency, and the exchange of each Pacific common or preferred share into 0.48 shares of Regency common or preferred stock. The stockholders approved the merger at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held February 26, 1999. At the time of the merger, Pacific owned 71 retail shopping centers that are operating or under construction containing 8.4 million SF of gross leaseable area. On February 28, 1999, the effective date of the merger, the Company issued equity instruments valued at $770.6 million to the Pacific stockholders in exchange for their outstanding common and preferred shares and units. The total cost to acquire Pacific was approximately $1.157 billion based on the value of Regency shares issued, including the assumption of $379 million of outstanding debt and other liabilities of Pacific, and estimated closing costs of $7.5 million. The price per share used to determine the purchase price was $23.325 based on the five day average of the closing stock price of Regency's common stock as listed on the New York Stock Exchange immediately before, during and after the date the terms of the merger were agreed to and announced to the public. The merger was accounted for as a purchase with the Company as the acquiring entity. During 1998, the Company acquired 31 shopping centers fee simple for approximately $355.9 million and also invested $28.4 million in 12 joint ventures ("JV Properties"), for a total investment of $384.3 million in 43 shopping centers ("1998 Acquisitions"). Included in the 1998 Acquisitions are 32 shopping centers acquired from various entities comprising the Midland Group ("Midland"). Of the 32 Midland centers, 31 are anchored by Kroger, and 12 are owned through joint ventures in which the Company's ownership interest is 50% or less. The Company's investment in the properties acquired from Midland is $236.6 million at December 31, 1998. During 1999 and 2000, the Company may pay contingent consideration of up to an estimated $23 million, through the issuance of Partnership units and the payment of cash. The amount of such consideration, if issued, will depend on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria relating to the assets acquired from Midland. Transferors who received cash at the initial Midland closing will receive contingent future consideration in cash rather than units. On April 16, 1999, the Company paid $5.2 million related to this contingent consideration. The operating results of Pacific and the 1998 Acquisitions are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date each property was acquired. The following unaudited pro forma informa- tion presents the consolidated results of operations as if Pacific and all 1998 Acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1998. Such pro forma information reflects adjustments to 1) increase depreciation, interest expense, and general and administrative costs, 2) remove the office buildings sold, and 3) adjust the weighted average common shares, and common equivalent shares outstanding issued to acquire the properties. Pro forma revenues would have been $74.2 and $72.5 million as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Pro forma net income for common stockholders would have been $19.9 and $20.2 million as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Pro forma basic net income per share would have been $.33 and $.34 as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Pro forma diluted net income per share would have been $.33 and $.34, as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This data does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had Pacific and the 1998 Acquisitions been made on January 1, 1998, or of results which may occur in the future. 3. Segments The Company was formed, and currently operates, for the purpose of 1) operating and developing Company owned retail shopping centers (Retail segment), and 2) providing services including property management, leasing, brokerage, and construction and development management for third-parties (Service operations segment). The Company had previously operated four office buildings, of which three were sold in the first quarter of 1998 (Office buildings segment). The Company's reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each requires different strategies and management expertise. There are no material inter-segment sales or transfers. The Company assesses and measures operating results starting with Net Operating Income for the Retail and Office Buildings segments and Income for the Service operations segment and converts such amounts into a performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (FFO). The operating results for the individual retail shopping centers have been aggregated since all of the Company's shopping centers exhibit highly similar economic characteristics as neighborhood shopping centers, and offer similar degrees of risk and opportunities for growth. FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts consists of net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of income producing property held for investment, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, and adjustments for unconsolidated investments in real estate partnerships and joint ventures. The Company considers FFO to be the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. Adjustments for investments in real estate partnerships are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company's performance, such amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. Additionally, the Company's calculation of FFO, as provided below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 1. The revenues and FFO for each of the reportable segments are summarized as follows for the periods ended as of March 31, 1999 and 1998.
1999 1998 ---- ---- Revenues: Retail segment $ 49,620,644 27,699,540 Service operations segment 1,789,853 2,728,672 Office buildings segment - 480,671 ================ =============== Total revenues $ 51,410,497 30,908,883 ================ =============== Funds from Operations: Retail segment net operating income $ 37,866,372 20,971,902 Service operations segment income 1,789,853 2,728,672 Office buildings segment net operating income - 303,156 Adjustments to calculate consolidated FFO: Interest expense (10,800,362) (5,439,365) Interest income 466,518 335,204 Earnings from recurring land sales - 901,853 General and administrative (3,787,359) (3,433,108) Non-real estate depreciation (175,790) (133,578) Minority interests of limited partners (260,939) (97,149) Minority interests in depreciation and amortization (181,594) (133,697) Share of joint venture depreciation And amortization 99,193 20,097 Dividends on preferred units (1,625,001) - ---------------- --------------- Funds from Operations 23,390,891 16,023,987 ---------------- --------------- Reconciliation to net income: Real estate related depreciation And amortization (9,235,484) (5,322,726) Minority interests in depreciation And amortization 181,594 133,697 Share of joint venture depreciation And amortization (99,193) (20,097) Earnings from property sales - 9,335,566 Minority interests of exchangeable Partnership units (578,205) (594,324) ---------------- --------------- Net income $ 13,659,603 19,556,103

4. Notes Payable and Acquisition and Development Line of Credit The Company's outstanding debt at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consists of the following (in thousands):
1999 1998 ---- ---- Notes Payable: Fixed rate mortgage loans $ 400,308 298,148 Variable rate mortgage loans 24,773 11,051 Fixed rate unsecured loans 121,178 121,296 --------- --------- Total notes payable 546,259 430,495 Acquisition and development line of credit 441,379 117,631 --------- --------- Total $ 987,638 548,126 ========= =========
During February, 1999, the Company modified the terms of its unsecured line of credit (the "Line") by increasing the commitment to $635 million. This credit agreement also provides for a competitive bid facility of up to $250 million of the commitment amount. Maximum availability under the Line is based on the discounted value of a pool of eligible unencumbered assets (determined on the basis of capitalized net operating income) less the amount of the Company's outstanding unsecured liabilities. The Line matures in May 2001, but may be extended annually for one year periods. The Company is required to comply, and is in compliance, with certain financial and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. These financial covenants include among others (i) maintenance of minimum net worth, (ii) ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, (iii) ratio of secured indebtedness to gross asset value, (iv) ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, (v) ratio of EBITDA to debt service and reserve for replacements, and (vi) ratio of unencumbered net operating income to interest expense on unsecured indebtedness. The Line is used primarily to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available for general working capital purposes. Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties, and may be prepaid subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2019. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 125 basis points to 150 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 7.04% to 9.8%. During 1999, the Company assumed debt with a fair value of $396.7 million related to the acquisition of real estate, which includes debt premiums of $4.1 million based upon the above market interest rates of the debt instruments. Debt premiums are being amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments. On April 15, 1999 the Company, through RCLP, completed a $250 million unsecured debt offering in two tranches. The Company issued $200 million 7.4% notes due April 1, 2004, priced at 99.922% to yield 7.42%, and $50 million 7.75% notes due April 1, 2009, priced at 100%. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the balance of the Line. On April 30, 1999, the balance of the Line was $206.9 million. As of March 31, 1999, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line were as follows (in thousands): Scheduled Term Principal Loan Total Scheduled Payments by Year Payments Maturities Payments 1999 $ 4,908 27,506 32,414 2000 5,519 539,946 545,465 2001 5,387 45,824 51,211 2002 4,687 44,122 48,809 2003 4,654 13,284 17,938 Beyond 5 Years 37,752 239,937 277,689 Net unamortized debt payments - 14,112 14,112 ------- ------- ------- Total $62,907 924,731 987,638 ======= ======= ======= Unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures had mortgage loans payable of $58.8 million at March 31, 1999, and the Company's proportionate share of these loans was $25.5 million. 5. Stockholders' Equity On June 11, 1996, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the "Agreement") with SC-USREALTY granting it certain rights such as purchasing common stock, nominating representatives to the Company's Board of Directors, and subjecting SC-USREALTY to certain restrictions including voting and ownership restrictions. In connection with the Units and shares of common stock issued in March 1998 related to earnout payments, SC-USREALTY acquired 435,777 shares at $22.125 per share in accordance with their rights as provided for in the Agreement. As of March 31, 1999, SC-USREALTY owned approximately 34.3 million shares of common stock or 58.9% of the outstanding common shares. In connection with the acquisition of shopping centers, RCLP has issued Exchangeable Operating Partnership Units to limited partners convertible on a one for one basis into shares of common stock of the Company. On June 29, 1998, the Company through RCLP issued $80 million of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A Preferred Units") to an institutional investor in a private placement. The issuance involved the sale of 1.6 million Series A Preferred Units for $50.00 per unit. The Series A Preferred Units, which may be called by the Partnership at par on or after June 25, 2003, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 8.125%. At any time after June 25, 2008, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged for shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company at an exchange rate of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for one Series A Preferred Unit. The Series A Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the acquisition and development line of credit. As part of the acquisition of Pacific Retail Trust, the Company issued Series 1 and Series 2 preferred shares. Series 1 preferred shares are convertible into Series 2 preferred shares on a one-for-one basis and contain provisions for adjustment to prevent dilution. The Series 1 preferred shares are entitled to a quarterly dividend in an amount equal to $0.0271 less than the common dividend and are cumulative. Series 2 preferred shares are convertible into common shares on a one-for-one basis. The Series 2 preferred shares are entitled to quarterly dividends in an amount equal to the common dividend and are cumulative. The Company may redeem the preferred shares any time after October 20, 2010 at a price of $20.83 per share, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. On March 4, 1999, the holders of Class B stock converted 1,250,000 shares into 1,487,734 shares of common stock. 6.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Realty Corporation ("Regency" or "Company") appearing elsewhere within. Organization - - ------------ The Company is a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") which began operations in 1993. The Company invests in real estate primarily through its general partnership interest in Regency Centers, L.P., ("RCLP" or "Partnership") an operating partnership in which the Company currently owns approximately 97% of the outstanding common partnership units ("Units"). Of the 204 properties included in the Company's portfolio at March 31, 1999, 186 properties were owned either fee simple or through partnerships interests by RCLP. At March 31, 1999, the Company had an investment in real estate, at cost, of approximately $2.4 billion of which $2.3 billion or 94% was owned by RCLP. Shopping Center Business - - ------------------------ The Company's principal business is owning, operating and developing grocery anchored neighborhood infill shopping centers. Infill refers to shopping centers within a targeted investment market offering sustainable competitive advantages such as barriers to entry resulting from zoning restrictions, growth management laws, or limited new competition from development or expansions. The Company's properties summarized by state and in order by largest holdings including their gross leasable areas (GLA) follows:

The Company is focused on building a platform of grocery anchored neighborhood shopping centers because grocery stores provide convenience shopping of daily necessities, foot traffic for adjacent local tenants, and should withstand adverse economic conditions. The Company's current investment markets have continued to offer strong stable economies, and accordingly, the Company expects to realize growth in net income as a result of increasing occupancy in the portfolio, increasing rental rates, development and acquisition of shopping centers in targeted markets, and redevelopment of existing shopping centers. The following table summarizes the four largest grocery tenants occupying the Company's shopping centers at March 31, 1999: Number of % of % of Annualized Grocery Anchor Stores Total GLA Base Rent -------------- --------- --------- --------------- Kroger 39 9.9% 8.3% Publix 34 6.3% 4.1% Albertson's 14 3.2% 3.0% Winn-Dixie 17 3.3% 2.6% Acquisition and Development of Shopping Centers - - ----------------------------------------------- On September 23, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger ("Agreement") with Pacific Retail Trust ("Pacific"), a privately held real estate investment trust. The Agreement, among other matters, provided for the merger of Pacific into Regency, and the exchange of each Pacific common or preferred share into 0.48 shares of Regency common or preferred stock. The stockholders approved the merger at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held February 26, 1999. At the time of the merger, Pacific owned 71 retail shopping centers that are operating or under construction containing 8.4 million SF of gross leaseable area. On February 28, 1999, the effective date of the merger, the Company issued equity instruments valued at $770.6 million to the Pacific stockholders in exchange for their outstanding common and preferred shares and units. The total cost to acquire Pacific was approximately $1.157 billion based on the value of Regency shares issued including the assumption of $379 million of outstanding debt and other liabilities of Pacific, and estimated closing costs of $7.5 million. The price per share used to determine the purchase price was $23.325 based on the five day average of the closing stock price of Regency's common stock as listed on the New York Stock Exchange immediately before, during and after the date the terms of the merger were agreed to and announced to the public. The merger was accounted for as a purchase with the Company as the acquiring entity. During 1998, the Company acquired 31 shopping centers fee simple for approximately $355.9 million and also invested $28.4 million in 12 joint ventures ("JV Properties"), for a total investment of $384.3 million in 43 shopping centers ("1998 Acquisitions"). Included in the 1998 Acquisitions are 32 shopping centers acquired from various entities comprising the Midland Group ("Midland"). Of the 32 Midland centers, 31 are anchored by Kroger, and 12 are owned through joint ventures in which the Company's ownership interest is 50% or less. The Company's investment in the properties acquired from Midland is $236.6 million at December 31, 1998. During 1999 and 2000, the Company may pay contingent consideration of up to an estimated $23 million, through the issuance of Partnership units and the payment of cash. The amount of such consideration, if issued, will depend on the satisfaction of certain performance criteria relating to the assets acquired from Midland. Transferors who received cash at the initial Midland closing will receive contingent future consideration in cash rather than units. On April 16, 1999, the Company paid $5.2 million related to this contingent consideration. Results from Operations - - ----------------------- Comparison of March 31, 1999 to 1998 Revenues increased $20.5 million or 66% to $51.4 million in 1999. The increase was due primarily to Pacific and the 1998 Acquisitions providing increases in revenues of $20.8 million during 1999. At March 31, 1999, the real estate portfolio contained approximately 23.7 million SF and was 92.3% leased. Minimum rent increased $17 million or 76%, and recoveries from tenants increased $4.4 million or 92%. On a same property basis (excluding Pacific and the 1998 Acquisitions, and the office portfolio sold during 1998) gross rental revenues increased $1.5 million or 5.9%, primarily due to higher base rents. Revenues from property management, leasing, brokerage, and development services (service operation segment) provided on properties not owned by the Company were $1.8 million in 1999 compared to $2.7 million in 1998, the decrease is due primarily to a decrease in brokerage fees. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company sold three office buildings and a parcel of land for $26.7 million, and recognized a gain on the sale of $10.2 million. As a result of these transactions the Company's real estate portfolio is comprised entirely of retail shopping centers. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the balance of the line of credit. Operating expenses increased $9.2 million or 58% to $25.0 million in 1999. Combined operating and maintenance, and real estate taxes increased $4.9 million or 70% during 1999 to $11.8 million. The increases are due to Pacific and the 1998 Acquisitions generating operating and maintenance expenses and real estate tax increases of $5.0 million during 1999. On a same property basis, operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes increased $150,000 or 2.3%. General and administrative expenses increased 10% during 1999 to $3.8 million due to the hiring of new employees and related office expenses necessary to manage the shopping centers acquired during 1999 and 1998. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.0 million during 1999 or 73% primarily due to Pacific and the 1998 Acquisitions. Interest expense increased to $10.8 million in 1999 from $5.4 million in 1998 or 99% due to increased average outstanding loan balances related to the financing of the 1998 Acquisitions on the Line and the assumption of debt for Pacific. Weighted average interest rates decreased 0.3% during 1999. See further discussion under Acquisition and Development of Shopping Centers and Liquidity and Capital Resources. Net income for common stockholders was $13.5 million in 1999 vs. $19.6 million in 1998, a $6.1 million or 31% decrease the result of a $10.2 million gain recognized in the first quarter of 1998 on the sale of three office buildings and a parcel of land. Diluted earnings per share in 1999 was $.34 vs. $.69 in 1998 due to the decrease in net income combined with the dilutive impact from the increase in weighted average common shares and equivalents of 9.1 million primarily due to the acquisition of Pacific Retail Trust and the issuance of shares to SC-USREALTY during 1998. Funds from Operations The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of income producing property held for investment, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated investments in real estate partnerships and joint ventures, to be the industry standard for reporting the operations of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Adjustments for investments in real estate partnerships are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely used measure of the Company's performance, such amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. Additionally, the Company's calculation of FFO, as provided below, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO increased by 46% from 1998 to 1999 as a result of the activity discussed above under "Results of Operations". FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are summarized in the following table (in thousands): 1999 1998 ---- ---- Net income for common stockholders $ 13,456 19,556 Add (subtract): Real estate depreciation and amortization 9,153 5,209 Gain on sale of operating property - (9,336) Convertible preferred stock distribution 204 - Minority interests in net income of Exchangeable partnership units 578 594 ------------- -------- Funds from operations $ 23,391 16,024 ============= ======== Cash flow provided by (used in): Operating activities $ 26,707 16,124 Investing activities (40,160) (46,152) Financing activities 25,902 30,149 Liquidity and Capital Resources - - ------------------------------- Management anticipates that cash generated from operating activities will provide the necessary funds on a short-term basis for its operating expenses, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital expenditures necessary to properly maintain the shopping centers, and distributions to share and unit holders. Net cash provided by operating activities was $26.7 million and $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company incurred recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures (non-recurring expenditures pertain to immediate building improvements on new acquisitions and anchor tenant improvements on new leases) of $2.6 million and $1.1 million, during 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company paid scheduled principal payments of $1.1 million and $644,000 during 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company paid dividends and distributions of $15.4 million and $12.3 million, during 1999 and 1998, respectively, to its share and unit holders. Management expects to meet long-term liquidity requirements for term debt payoffs at maturity, non-recurring capital expenditures, and acquisition, renovation and development of shopping centers from: (i) excess cash generated from operating activities, (ii) working capital reserves, (iii) additional debt borrowings, and (iv) additional equity raised in the public markets. Net cash used in investing activities was $40.2 million and $46.2 million, during 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily for purposes discussed above under Acquisitions and Development of Shopping Centers. Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.9 million and $30.1 million during 1999 and 1998, respectively. At March 31, 1999, the Company had 14 retail properties under construction or undergoing major renovations, with costs to date of $119.6 million. Total committed costs necessary to complete the properties under development is estimated to be $209 million and will be expended through 1999 and 2000. The Company's outstanding debt at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consists of the following (in thousands): 1999 1998 ---- ---- Notes Payable: Fixed rate mortgage loans $ 400,308 298,148 Variable rate mortgage loans 24,773 11,051 Fixed rate unsecured loans 121,178 121,296 ---------------- ------------- Total notes payable 546,259 430,495 Acquisition and development line of cre 441,379 117,631 ---------------- ------------- Total $ 987,638 548,126 ================ ============= The weighted average interest rate on total debt at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and was 7.1% and 7.4%, respectively. The Company's debt is typically cross-defaulted, but not cross-collateralized, and includes usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants. During February, 1999, the Company modified the terms of its unsecured line of credit (the "Line") by increasing the commitment to $635 million. Maximum availability under the Line is based on the discounted value of a pool of eligible unencumbered assets (determined on the basis of capitalized net operating income) less the amount of the Company's outstanding unsecured liabilities. The Line matures in May 2001, but may be extended annually for one year periods. The Company is required to comply, and is in compliance, with certain financial and other covenants customary with this type of unsecured financing. These financial covenants include among others (i) maintenance of minimum net worth, (ii) ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, (iii) ratio of secured indebtedness to gross asset value, (iv) ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, (v) ratio of EBITDA to debt service and reserve for replacements, and (vi) ratio of unencumbered net operating income to interest expense on unsecured indebtedness. The Line is used primarily to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, but is also available for general working capital purposes. On June 29, 1998, the Company through RCLP issued $80 million of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A Preferred Units") to an institutional investor, Belair Capital Fund, LLC, in a private placement. The issuance involved the sale of 1.6 million Series A Preferred Units for $50.00 per unit. The Series A Preferred Units, which may be called by the Company at par on or after June 25, 2003, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption, and pay a cumulative, quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 8.125%. At any time after June 25, 2008, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged for shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company at an exchange rate of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for one Series A Preferred Unit. The Series A Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into common stock of the Company. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the Line. On April 15, 1999 the Company, through RCLP, completed a $250 million debt offering in two tranches. The Company issued $200 million, 7.4% notes due April 1, 2004, priced at 99.922% to yield 7.42%, and $50 million, 7.75% notes due April 1, 2009, priced at 100%. The net proceeds of the offering were used to reduce the balance of the Line. On April 30, 1999, the balance of the Line was $206.9 million. Mortgage loans are secured by certain real estate properties, and generally may be prepaid subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium. Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2019. Variable interest rates on mortgage loans are currently based on LIBOR plus a spread in a range of 125 basis points to 150 basis points. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 7.04% to 9.8%. During 1999, the Company assumed debt with a fair value of $396.7 million related to the acquisition of real estate, which includes debt premiums of $4.1 million based upon the above market interest rates of the debt instruments. Debt premiums are being amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments. As of March 31, 1999, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable and the Line for the next five years were as follows (in thousands): Scheduled Term Principal Loan Total Scheduled Payments by Year Payments Maturities Payments -------------------------- --------- ---------- -------- 1999 $ 4,908 27,506 32,414 2000 5,519 539,946 545,465 2001 5,387 45,824 51,211 2002 4,687 44,122 48,809 2003 4,654 13,284 17,938 Beyond 5 Years 37,752 239,937 277,689 Net unamortized debt payments - 14,112 14,112 ------- ------- ------- Total $62,907 924,731 987,638 ======= ======= ======= Unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures had mortgage loans payable of $58.8 million at March 31, 1999 and the Company's proportionate share of these loans was $25.5 million. The Company qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of its distributions to stockholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. While the Company intends to continue to pay dividends to its stockholders, it also will reserve such amounts of cash flow as it considers necessary for the proper maintenance and improvement of its real estate, while still maintaining its qualification as a REIT. The Company's real estate portfolio has grown substantially during 1999 as a result of the acquisitions and development discussed above. The Company intends to continue to acquire and develop shopping centers in the near future, and expects to meet the related capital requirements from borrowings on the Line. The Company expects to repay the Line from time to time from additional public and private equity or debt offerings, such as those completed in previous years. Because such acquisition and development activities are discretionary in nature, they are not expected to burden the Company's capital resources currently available for liquidity requirements. The Company expects that cash provided by operating activities, unused amounts available under the Line, and cash reserves are adequate to meet liquidity requirements. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes - - ----------------------------------------------- The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities " (FAS 133), which is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 133 requires entities to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company does not believe FAS 133 will materially effect its financial statements. f. Environmental Matters - - --------------------- The Company like others in the commercial real estate industry, is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations and the operation of dry cleaning plants at the Company's shopping centers is the principal environmental concern. The Company believes that the dry cleaners are operating in accordance with current laws and regulations and has established procedures to monitor their operations. The Company has approximately 31 properties that will require or are currently undergoing varying levels of environmental remediation. These remediations are not expected to have a material financial effect on the Company due to financial statement reserves and various state-regulated programs that shift the responsibility and cost for remediation to the state. Based on information presently available, no additional environmental accruals were made and management believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known matters will not have a material effect on the financial position, liquidity, or operations of the Company. Inflation - - --------- Inflation has remained relatively low during 1999 and 1998 and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of the shopping centers; however, substantially all of the Company's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, many of the Company's leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. Most of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. Year 2000 System Compliance - - --------------------------- Management recognizes the potential effect Year 2000 may have on the Company's operations and, as a result, has implemented a Year 2000 Compliance Project. The term "Year 2000 compliant" means that the software, hardware, equipment, goods or systems utilized by, or material to the physical operations, business operations, or financial reporting of an entity will properly perform date sensitive functions before, during and after the year 2000. The Company's Year 2000 Compliance Project includes an awareness phase, an assessment phase, a renovation phase, and a testing phase of our data processing network, accounting and property management systems, computer and operating systems, software packages, and building management systems. The project also includes surveying our major tenants and financial institutions. Total costs incurred to date associated with the Company's Year 2000 compliance project have been reflected in the Company's income statement throughout 1999 and 1998, and were approximately $250,000. The Company's computer hardware, operating systems, general accounting and property management systems and principal desktop software applications are Year 2000 compliant as certified by the various vendors. We are currently testing these systems, and expect to complete the testing phase by June 30, 1999. Based on testing to date, Management does not anticipate any Year 2000 issues that will materially impact operations or operating results. An assessment of the Company's building management systems has been completed. This assessment has resulted in the identification of certain lighting, telephone, and voice mail systems that may not be Year 2000 compliant. Management has begun upgrading these systems and believes that the cost of these systems will not exceed $500,000. It is anticipated that the renovation and testing phases will be complete by September 30, 1999, and the Company expects to be compliant upon completion of these phases. The Company has surveyed its major tenants and financial institutions to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to third parties' failure to resolve their Year 2000 issues. Based on the responses to surveys received to date, no risks were identified to take additional action at this point. Management believes its planning efforts are adequate to address the Year 2000 issue and that its risk factors are primarily those that it cannot directly control, including the readiness of its major tenants and financial institutions. Failure on the part of these entities to become Year 2000 compliant could result in disruption in the Company's cash receipt and disbursement functions. There can be no guarantee, however, that the systems of unrelated entities upon which the Company's operations rely will be corrected on a timely basis and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is in the process of establishing a formal contingency plan and expects to have a plan in place by September 30, 1999. Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market Risk - - ----------- The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company's real estate investment portfolio and operations. The Company's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company has no plans to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes, and at March 31, 1999, the Company did not have any borrowings hedged with derivative financial instruments. The Company's interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts maturing (in thousands), weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt (in thousands), by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.
1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Thereafter Total Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed rate debt $16,561 103,954 42,423 48,809 17,939 277,689 507,374 521,486 Average interest rate for all debt 7.85% 8.01% 7.99% 7.87% 7.81% 7.80% - - Variable rate LIBOR debt $15,853 441,511 8,788 - - - 466,152 466,152 Average interest rate for all debt 6.10% 7.30% - - - - - -
As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of March 31, 1999, it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table above, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As a result, the Company's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the Company's hedging strategies at that time, and interest rates.

                        ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT


         THIS  ADMINISTRATIVE  SERVICES  AGREEMENT  ("Agreement")  is  made  and
entered into  effective as of February 26, 1999, by and between  Regency  Realty
Corporation, a Florida corporation,  ("the Company") and SCGroup Incorporated, a
Texas corporation ("SCGroup").


         WHEREAS,   the  Company   wishes  to  purchase  from  SCGroup   certain
administrative  services  designed to assist the  Company in the  cost-efficient
management of the Company's  administrative  and business  affairs in the manner
and pursuant to terms and conditions as more specifically described herein; and

         WHEREAS,  SCGroup  desires  to provide  or cause to be  provided  those
services requested by the Company under such terms and conditions; and

         WHEREAS, SCGroup will perform similar administrative services for other
entities (collectively "SCGroup Clients") which may vary from time to time.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants  and  agreements  set  forth  herein,  and  other  good  and  valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         Section 1.        Services

                  1.1 Scope of Services. The specific services to be provided by
SCGroup to the Company (each a "Service" and collectively the "Services")  shall
be listed in Schedule  A.  Schedule E provides a  description  of the manner and
extent to which each Service will be provided. The scope of Services provided by
SCGroup may be expanded,  reduced or otherwise  modified during the Initial Term
(as  defined in Section 3) or any  Renewal  Term (as  defined in Section 3) upon
prior written  agreement of the parties.  Unless otherwise  agreed,  the Company
shall  provide  SCGroup  with  written  notice  at  least  30 days  prior to any
requested change in the scope of Services. In addition, the parties shall review
the scope of Services annually and shall complete such review and agree upon any
resulting  scope changes for the upcoming  calendar year not later than November
30 of the then current year. In either event, Schedules A and E shall be amended
to reflect any agreed upon changes in the scope of Services.

                  1.2  Performance of Services.  SCGroup  covenants that it will
perform  or cause to be  performed  the  Services  in a  timely,  efficient  and
workmanlike manner.  SCGroup further covenants that it will maintain or contract
for a sufficient staff of trained personnel to enable it to perform the Services
hereunder.  SCGroup may delegate and subcontract  some or all of its obligations
under this Agreement to one or more third  parties.  If SCGroup does so, it will
remain  responsible  for the  performance of all  obligations  performed by such
subcontractors  to the same  extent as if such  obligations  were  performed  by
SCGroup employees.

                  1.3  Access,  Information,  Cooperation  and  Assistance.  The
Company will provide SCGroup with all access,  Company information,  cooperation
and assistance  necessary for SCGroup to perform the Services in accordance with
this  Agreement.  The Company will cooperate  with SCGroup to institute  changes
expected to result in reduced and more efficient resource usage.

   
                  1.4  Changes  in  Scope of  Service.  Subject  to  appropriate
undertakings  of  confidentiality  by SCGroup,  the Company shall notify SCGroup
upon occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Company proposes to acquire any
new property or properties; (ii) the Company proposes to enter into any business
combination or acquire any significant assets of another person or entity, (iii)
the Company proposes to establish any new subsidiary  corporation,  partnership,
joint  venture,  business  trust or other entity;  (iv) the Company  proposes to
conduct  operations or business in any state or other  jurisdiction in which the
Company is not qualified to transact  business;  or (v) the Company  proposes to
take any other action which may significantly  increase the scope of Services to
be provided by SCGroup  hereunder.  Upon receipt of such notice by SCGroup,  the
parties shall negotiate in good faith the scope of such Services and the charges
payable therefor (if additional  Services are required).  Any such charges shall
be payable by the Company as provided in Section 2.4.
    

         Section 2.        Charges.

                  2.1 Charges.  The charges to be paid by the Company to SCGroup
for the Services  then being  performed  or to be performed by SCGroup  shall be
listed  in  Schedule  B  ("Charges").  These  charges  shall  remain  in  effect
throughout  the initial or  applicable  Renewal Term of this  agreement.  If the
scope of Services is changed  during the annual  review  process or at any other
time,  the  parties  shall  negotiate  in good faith and agree in advance on any
resulting  changes in the  Charges  to be paid to SCGroup by the  Company in the
subsequent Renewal Term.  Schedule B shall be amended to reflect any agreed upon
changes in the Charges.

                  2.2 Retained  Expenses.  The Company  shall  retain  financial
responsibility  for those functions and expense items shown as retained expenses
in  Schedule D. The Company  will be billed  directly by third  parties for such
services.  The Company  agrees to pay such  expenses  timely and in the ordinary
course of business.

                  2.3 Pass-Through Expenses. Pass-through expenses are listed in
Schedule C. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties,  pass-through  expenses will
be paid by the Company directly.  SCGroup will promptly provide the Company with
the original  third-party  invoice for such  expenses  together with a statement
that SCGroup has  reviewed and  validated  the  invoiced  charges.  SCGroup will
highlight  any charges  that appear to be  inappropriate  and will work with the
Company to reconcile all bills with the third-party suppliers.

                  2.4 Payment for  Services.  SCGroup shall invoice the Company,
at the end of each  calendar  month,  the  amount  agreed  to from  time to time
pursuant to Section 2.1 for the applicable Service. Such amount shall be payable
in full within 20 days of receipt of such invoice by the  Company.  Any past due
amounts  shall be subject  to a .834% per month (10% per annum) (or the  maximum
rate allowable by law, whichever is less) late payment fee.

                  2.5      Taxes.

                  (a) Each party will pay any real estate or  personal  property
         taxes on property its owns or leases,  franchise and privilege taxes on
         its business, and taxes based on its net income or gross receipts.

                  (b)  SCGroup  will pay all sales,  use,  excise,  value-added,
         services, consumption, and other taxes and duties payable by SCGroup on
         any goods or  services  used or consumed  by SCGroup in  providing  the
         Services  where the tax is imposed on SCGroup's  acquisition  or use of
         such goods or services  and the amount of tax is measured by  SCGroup's
         costs in acquiring such goods or services.

                  (c) In  the  case  of any  sales,  use,  excise,  value-added,
         services,  consumption,  or other tax during the term of this Agreement
         that is assessed on the provision of the Services as a whole, or on any
         particular hardware, software, or Services received by the Company from
         SCGroup, the Companies will pay such taxes.

                  (d) The Parties  agree to fully  cooperate  with each other to
         enable each to more  accurately  determine its own tax liability and to
         minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible.

   
         Section 3. Term. The initial term of this  Agreement  shall commence on
the date hereof and,  unless  terminated  earlier in accordance with Section 10,
shall end on December 31, 1999 (the "Initial  Term").  Absent  written notice of
non-renewal as provided in this Section 3, this Agreement shall be automatically
renewed  for  successive  one-year  terms  (each,  a  "Renewal  Term")  upon the
expiration of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term. Notice of non-renewal,  if
given,  shall be given in  writing by either  party as early as is  practicable.
Notice of non-renewal  by the Company will be timely  provided if it is given no
later than ten (10) calendar days after renewal terms are presented.
    

         Section 4. Audit of Services. At any time during regular business hours
and as often as reasonably  requested by the Company's  officers,  SCGroup shall
permit the Company or its authorized  representatives to examine and make copies
and abstracts  from the records and books of SCGroup for the purpose of auditing
the  performance  and  charges  of  SCGroup  under the terms of this  Agreement;
provided,  that all costs and expenses of such inspection  shall be borne by the
Company.

         Section 5. Company  Data.  Data obtained by SCGroup from the Company in
connection  with the performance of any Services  ("Company  Data") is and shall
remain the  exclusive  property of the Company.  SCGroup is  authorized  to have
access to and make use of the Company Data as necessary and  appropriate for the
performance by or for SCGroup of its obligations under this Agreement.  Upon the
termination or expiration of this Agreement,  SCGroup will return to the Company
all Company Data then in its  possession.  SCGroup will not use Company Data for
any purpose other than for providing the Services.

   
         Section  6.  Confidentiality.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in this
Agreement,  SCGroup  agrees  that  all  information  communicated  to it by  the
Company,  whether before or after the effective date of this Agreement,  will be
received in strict confidence, will be used only for purposes of this Agreement,
and will not be disclosed by SCGroup  without the prior  written  consent of the
Company.  SCGroup  agrees  to use the  same  means  it uses to  protect  its own
Confidential  Information,  but in any event not less than reasonable  means, to
prevent the disclosure of such information to outside parties.  However, SCGroup
will not be  prevented  from  disclosing  information  to its counsel or regular
public accountants,  or from disclosing information which belongs to such party,
or is (a)  already  known  by the  recipient  party  without  an  obligation  of
confidentiality;  (b)  publicly  known or  becomes  publicly  known  through  no
unauthorized act of the recipient  party;  (c) rightfully  received from a third
party; (d) independently developed without use of the other party's confidential
information;  (e) disclosed without similar restrictions to a third party by the
party  owning the  confidential  information;  or (f)  required to be  disclosed
pursuant to a  requirement  of a  governmental  agency or legal  requirement  if
SCGroup  provides  the  Company  with  notice  of  this  requirement   prior  to
disclosure.
    

         Section 7.        Service Levels.

                  7.1  Establishment of Service Levels.  Schedule E contains the
scope of services and service levels agreed to by the parties. To the extent any
desired  service  level is determined  by the parties to be  unattainable  using
commercially  reasonable  efforts,  SCGroup  will  identify the level of service
which is reasonably attainable, the modifications or changes necessary to attain
the higher service level and the costs  associated  with such  modifications  or
changes.  Following  the  initial  one year  period,  the  parties  will meet as
required to evaluate  and revise the service  levels to the extent  appropriate.
SCGroup  will  measure  the  quality  and  quantity  of  the  Services  actually
delivered.  The data  obtained by SCGroup  will be reviewed  and verified by the
parties  and will be one of the  bases  for  evaluating  and  possibly  revising
Schedule E. All such revisions must be agreed to by the Company and SCGroup.  If
requested,  the  Company  will  provide  copies of relevant  information  in its
possession to SCGroup to assist in any review or revision of the service levels.

                  7.2  Failure to Attain  Service  Levels.  If SCGroup  fails to
attain any service level, SCGroup will (i) promptly investigate the cause of the
problem;  (ii)  prepare  a  report  identifying  the  cause of the  problem  and
recommending solutions; and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to correct
the problem and to begin meeting the service levels as soon as practicable.

         Section 8. Prevention of  Performance.  SCGroup shall not be determined
to be in violation of this  Agreement if it is  prevented  from  performing  any
Services hereunder, in whole or in part, by the acts or omissions of the Company
or a  third  party  or for any  other  reason  beyond  its  reasonable  control,
including  without  limitation acts of God,  nature or public enemy,  war, civil
disturbance,  labor dispute,  failure or fluctuation in electrical power,  heat,
light, air  conditioning or  telecommunication  service,  or limitations of law,
regulations or rules of the Federal,  state or local government or of any agency
thereof.

         Section 9.        Software and Other Intellectual Property.

 9.1  Company Software.  The Company's  ownership,  license or other right or
                                            -----------------
title to computer software used by the Company ("Company  Software") will remain
the  Company's  property and SCGroup  will have no  ownership  interest or other
right in such Company  Software due to this  Agreement or the services  provided
hereunder,  except as provided in this  Section.  The Company  grant to SCGroup,
without charge, the limited nonexclusive nontransferable right to access Company
Software during the term of this Agreement for the purpose of, and to the extent
necessary for, performing the Services.

                  9.2 SCGroup Software. Software owned by or licensed to SCGroup
which is used by SCGroup  in  providing  the  Services  (collectively,  "SCGroup
Software")  is and will remain  SCGroup's  property and the Company will have no
ownership interest or other right in such SCGroup Software.

                  9.3  Intellectual  Property  Rights.  If,  in  the  course  of
providing Services under this Agreement, the Company requests and SCGroup agrees
to  develop  any  Software,   process,   document  or  other   material  to  the
specification  of the  Company,  not being  SCGroup  Software or an  enhancement
thereto,  and  the  Company  pays  all  of  the  Charges  associated  with  such
development ("Work Product"),  then the copyright or other intellectual property
rights and all legal and beneficial  rights therein shall belong to the Company.
SCGroup hereby assigns to the Company all right,  title and interest that arises
in  SCGroup  with  respect  to such Work  Product,  including  all  intellectual
property rights related thereto, and SCGroup agrees to take all reasonable steps
and execute all documents necessary to perfect title to such Work Product in the
Company.  SCGroup shall be permitted to access and use such  Software,  process,
document or other  material to the extent  necessary  for the  provision  of the
Services to the Company.

                  9.4  SCGroup  Ownership  Rights.  Except  as  provided  for in
Section  9.3  above,  all  copyright  or  intellectual  property  rights  in any
Software,  process, document or other material created by SCGroup, its employees
or agents and all legal and beneficial rights therein shall belong to SCGroup.

         Section 10.       Termination.

                  10.1  Termination  for Cause.  Either party may terminate this
Agreement,  in whole or in part, by giving written notice to the other party, if
such other party materially  breaches any of its duties or obligations set forth
herein and fails to cure such breach within  thirty (30) days of written  notice
of such  breach.  If less than all  Services  are  terminated,  the parties will
equitably  adjust  the  Charges  to be paid  by the  Company  hereunder  for the
remaining Services.

                  10.2 Terminate for Insolvency.  In the event that either party
(a) files for  bankruptcy;  (b)  becomes  or is  declared  insolvent,  or is the
subject  of any  proceedings  related  to  its  liquidation,  insolvency  or the
appointment of a receiver or similar officer for it; (c) makes an assignment for
the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors;  or (d) enters into an
agreement for the composition,  extension,  or readjustment of substantially all
of its  obligations,  then the other party may terminate  this  Agreement at any
time upon notice to the other party.

                  10.3 Termination.  The Company may terminate this Agreement by
giving  written  notice to SCGroup at least ten (10)  calendar days prior to the
effective date, if the Company  decides to cancel the insurance  policy which is
the subject of this Agreement.

         Section 11. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability and Intellectual 
Property Claims Between Parties.

                  11.1  DISCLAIMER.   EXCEPT  AS  SPECIFICALLY  STATED  IN  THIS
AGREEMENT,  NEITHER  SCGROUP  NOR THE  COMPANIES  MAKES ANY  REPRESENTATIONS  OR
WARRANTIES,   EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED,   REGARDING   ANY  MATTER,   INCLUDING   THE
MERCHANTABILITY,  SUITABILITY,  ORIGINALITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE
OR PURPOSE,  OR RESULTS TO BE DERIVED  FROM THE USE OF ANY  HARDWARE,  SOFTWARE,
SERVICES OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

                  11.2  LIMITATION  OF  LIABILITY.  IN NO EVENT  WILL A PARTY BE
LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,  EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES EVEN
IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Additionally,
the total  liability of the parties under or in connection  with this  Agreement
will be limited to the total  charges paid by the Company to SCGroup  during the
12 months  preceding the event which is the subject of the claim (the "Liability
Cap");  provided,  however, the Liability Cap will not apply with respect to (i)
damages  occasioned by the willful  misconduct  or gross  negligence of a party,
(ii)  claims that are the subject of the  indemnification  provisions  set forth
herein,  or (iii) the failure to pay Charges due and owing to SCGroup under this
Agreement.

         Section 12.       Indemnification.

                  12.1 This section left intentionally blank.

                  12.2 By SCGroup. SCGroup shall indemnify,  defend and hold the
Company,  its  trustees,  officers and  employees  harmless from and against all
damages, losses and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees) caused by
or arising out of any willful  misconduct or gross  negligence by SCGroup in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

                  12.3 Remedy.  Except as otherwise  provided in subsection 12.2
hereof,  the Company's remedy on account of the failure of SCGroup to render the
Services as and when required  hereunder  shall be to terminate  this  Agreement
and/or to seek  damages,  but in no event shall such damages  exceed the cap set
forth in 11.2.

         Section 13.       Relationship of the Parties.

                  13.1 Independent  Contractor Status. SCGroup is an Independent
Contractor.  This Agreement  will not be construed as creating any  partnership,
agency  relationship  or  other  form of legal  association  that  would  impose
liability  upon one party for the other  party?s  actions or failure to act. Nor
will this Agreement be construed as providing either party with the right, power
or authority  (express or implied) to create any duty for, or obligation of, the
other party.

                  13.2   Responsibility  for  Employees.   Each  party  will  be
responsible for the management, direction and control of its employees and other
agents.  All SCGroup  employees used in performing  SCGroup's  obligations under
this  contract  shall be employed  solely and  exclusively  by SCGroup,  and all
Company  employees  used in  performing  the  Company's  obligations  under this
Agreement shall be employed solely and exclusively by the Company. Thus, SCGroup
and the  Company  shall  not be  considered  a joint or single  employer  of any
employee.

                   13.3 SCGroup Control of Services. Except where this Agreement
  expressly  provides that SCGroup will perform certain  identified  Services as
  agent for the Company, the Services will be under the control,  management and
  supervision of SCGroup.

          Section 14.       Notices.

                   14.1  Manner  of  Delivery.  Each  notice,  demand,  request,

  and given by telecopy,  personal delivery,  receipted delivery service,  or by

  Agreement  shall  be  deemed,  or shall  constitute,  a  waiver  of any  other
  provision  hereof  (whether  or  not  similar),  nor  shall  any  such  waiver
  constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

          Section  16.   Priority.   If  there  is  any  apparent   conflict  or
  inconsistency  between the  provisions  set forth in this  Agreement,  and the
  provisions  set  forth in any  schedule,  exhibit,  attachment  or  supplement
  attached hereto, to the extent possible such provisions will be interpreted in
  a manner so as to make them  consistent.  If it is not  possible to  interpret
  such  provisions  consistently,  the  provisions set forth in the body of this
  Agreement will prevail.

          Section 17. No Third Party  Beneficiaries.  The parties do not intend,
  nor will any clause of this Agreement  be  interpreted  to create,  for any 
  third  party any  obligation  to or benefit  from the  Company or SCGroup.

  necessary  to give the  parties  the full  benefit  of the  bargain  expressed
  herein.

          Section  19.  Consents  and  Approvals.  Where  agreement,   approval,

  by any  provision  of this  Agreement,  such action  will not be  unreasonably

  successors  and  permitted  assigns,  but may not be assigned by either  party

  held invalid by a court with  jurisdiction over the parties to this Agreement,
  then and in that event such  provision  shall be deleted  from the  Agreement,
  which  shall then be  construed  to give  effect to the  remaining  provisions
  thereof.  If any one or more of the provisions  contained in this Agreement or
  in any other instrument  referred to herein shall, for any reason,  be held to
  be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable  in any respect,  then in that event, to
  the  maximum  extent  permitted  by  law,  such   invalidity,   illegality  or
  enforceability  shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement or any
  other such instrument.

          Section 24. Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed in one or
 more  counterparts,  each of which  shall be  deemed  an  original,  but all of
