The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS ORGANIZATION. CB Commercial Real Estate Services Group, Inc. (formerly CB Commercial Holdings, Inc.) ("CB Commercial") was organized to acquire Coldwell Banker Commercial Group, Inc. and had no operations prior to the acquisition on April 19, 1989 (the "Acquisition"). In 1991 Coldwell Banker Commercial Group, Inc. was renamed CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. On November 25, 1996, CB Commercial completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") of 4,347,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). The net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $80.0 million were used to repay a portion of the Company's senior secured indebtedness and senior subordinated indebtedness. CB Commercial is a holding company that conducts its operations solely through CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). NATURE OF OPERATIONS. The Company provides a full range of services to commercial real estate tenants, owners, and investors including: (i) brokerage (facilitating sales and leases), investment properties (acquisitions and sales on behalf of investors), corporate services, property management, and real estate market research (collectively, "Property and User Services"), and (ii) mortgage banking (mortgage loan origination and servicing), investment management and advisory services and valuation and appraisal services (collectively, "Investor Services"). The Company's diverse client base includes local, national and multinational corporations, financial institutions, pension funds and other tax exempt entities, local, state and national governmental entities, and individuals. A significant portion of the Company's revenue is transactional in nature and seasonal. Historically, this seasonality has caused the Company's revenue, operating income and net income to be lower in the first two calendar quarters and higher in the third and fourth calendar quarters of each year. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1997 or for any future period. ACQUISITIONS. Refer to the Company's financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 for a discussion of the Company's acquisitions. The assets and liabilities of the acquired companies, along with the related goodwill, intangibles and indebtedness, are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1997. The results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the consolidated results from the dates they were acquired. The pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1996, assuming the L.J. Melody acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996, would have been as follows (amounts in thousands except per share data): Revenue.................................................. $113,719 Net loss................................................. $ (1,346) Net loss per common and common equivalent share outstanding..................... $ (0.11)
2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill at March 31, 1997 consisted of $43.9 million related to the 1995 and 1996 acquisitions which is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 30 years and $20.8 million related to the Company's original acquisition in 1989 which is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Other intangible assets at March 31, 1997 included approximately $2.8 million of deferred financing costs and $7.0 million of intangibles stemming from the L.J. Melody, Westmark and Langdon Rieder acquisitions. 6 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED) The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets. In this assessment, the Company considers macro market conditions and trends in the Company's relative market position, its capital structure, lender relationships and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with these assets. If any of the significant assumptions inherent in this assessment change in a material way due to market, economic and/or other factors, the recoverability is assessed based on the revised assumptions and resultant undiscounted cash flows. If such analysis indicates impairment, it would be recorded in the period such changes occur based on the fair value of the goodwill and other intangible assets. 3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN Under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DCP"), a select group of management and highly compensated employees can defer the payment of all or a portion of their compensation (including any bonus). The DCP permits participating employees to make an irrevocable election at the beginning of each year to receive amounts deferred at a future date either in cash, which accrues at a rate of interest determined in accordance with the DCP and is an unsecured long term liability of the Company, or in newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Company which elections are recorded as additions to Stockholders' Equity. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, approximately $1.7 million and $525,000 were deferred in cash (including interest) and stock, respectively. The accumulated deferrals as of March 31, 1997 were approximately $3.6 million in cash (including interest) and $3.5 million in stock for a total of $7.1 million, all of which was charged to expense in the period of deferral. 4. INCOME TAXES The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was computed in accordance with Interpretation No. 18 of APB opinion No. 28 on reporting taxes for interim periods and was based on projections of total year pretax income. Reference is made to Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 for a discussion of the Company's deferred taxes including net operating loss carryforwards. 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, its ordinary course of business. In August 1993, a former commissioned salesperson of the Company filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bargain County, alleging gender discrimination and wrongful termination by the Company. On November 20, 1996 a jury returned a verdict against the Company, awarding $6.5 million in general and punitive damages to the plaintiff. The Company hired new counsel and in January 1997 filed motions for a new trial, reversal of the verdict and reduction of damages. On March 27, 1997 the trial court denied the Company's motions and awarded the plaintiff $638,000 in attorneys' fees and costs. The Company has been advised by appellate counsel that it has a meritorious basis to pursue an appeal of the verdict, which the Company will do. This accrual was initially established at $250,000 in 1994 and increased to $800,000 in 1995 and represented the Company's estimate of its loss exposure for this matter based on its assessment and analysis as of those dates. In 1996, further adjustments were made to the reserve to reflect the Company's estimate of ultimate loss, if any. The Company believes its reserves for this case at March 31, 1997 are adequate. Based on available cash and anticipated cash flows, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome will not have an impact on the Company's ability to carry on its operations. Management believes that any liability to the Company that may result from disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. 7 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY In February 1997 the Company issued 82,740 shares of its Common Stock with a fair value at date of issuance of approximately $1,872,000 to the Company's Capital Accumulation Plan for the year ended December 31, 1996. As of March 31, 1997, 13,347,303 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. 7. PER SHARE INFORMATION Primary earnings per share is calculated based on weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents, which include dilutive stock options outstanding and, for the three months ended March 31, 1996, preferred stock. This calculation also includes all issuances of stock and stock options made within twelve months prior to the Offering as promotional shares for all periods presented. Fully diluted earnings per share further assumes the conversion of preferred stock, if dilutive, for the period after the Offering when the preferred stock was no longer considered to be a common stock equivalent. 8 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. PER SHARE INFORMATION (CONTINUED) The Company recapitalized its various classes of stock in conjunction with the Offering. Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding are comprised of the following:
Three Months Ended March 31 ----------------------- 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- PRIMARY EARNINGS PER SHARE: Preferred stock: Series A-1....................... - 1,000,000 Series A-2....................... - 2,000,000 Series A-3....................... - 1,000,000 Common stock: Common Stock (post-Offering)........ 13,294,683 - Class B-1 (pre-Offering)............ - 1,854,106 Class B-2 (pre-Offering)............ - 5,843,622 Promotional shares......................... - 283,930 Stock options.............................. 603,933 - ---------- ---------- 13,898,616 11,981,658 ========== ========== FULLY DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE: Preferred stock: Series A-1....................... - 1,000,000 Series A-2....................... - 2,000,000 Series A-3....................... - 1,000,000 Common stock: Common Stock (post-Offering)........ 13,294,683 - Class B-1 (pre-Offering)............ - 1,854,106 Class B-2 (pre-Offering)............ - 5,843,622 Promotional shares......................... - 283,930 Stock options.............................. 609,250 - ---------- ---------- 13,903,933 11,981,658 ========== ==========
Actual shares of common stock outstanding at March 31, 1997 were 13,347,303. 8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights and SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. These standards, including the proforma effect of SFAS No. 123, were not material to the Company's financial statements. 9 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. The Company has adopted this statement as it applies to the operations of L.J. Melody. The statement requires that financial and servicing assets on originated loans and related liabilities be recognized at fair value and amortized over the life of the estimated net servicing income or loss. Write-off of the asset is required when control is surrendered and of the liability when extinguished. The adoption has resulted in the recognition of amortization cost along with income from servicing as services are performed and the recognition of gains or losses at the time servicing rights are sold. Management of the Company believes that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This statement establishes standards for computing presented earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. It requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 9. RECLASSIFICATION Certain reclassifications, which do not have any effect on net income, have been made to the March 1996 financial statements and to the December 31, 1996 balance sheet to conform to the March 1997 presentation. 10.SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company has signed a definitive agreement to merge with Koll Real Estate Services. The combined company, to be called CB Commercial, is expected to be a leader in real estate services, with leadership positions in leasing and sales for corporations and institutions, property and facilities management, commercial mortgage banking, and capital markets and investment advisory/asset management services. Under the terms of the agreement, CB Commercial, based in Los Angeles, will exchange approximately 5.6 million shares of its common stock and stock options (as well as warrants to purchase an additional 600,000 shares at $30.00 per share) for all of the outstanding stock and stock options of Koll Real Estate Services. The transaction, a tax-free reorganization to be accounted for as a purchase, includes equity currently valued at approximately $130.0 million and the assumption of debt of approximately $35.0 million as of March 31, 1997 (the debt is expected to exceed $40.0 million at closing), and is expected to be accretive to 1997 earnings of CB Commercial shareholders, excluding the effects of a reserve for integration and related charges which could be as high as $15.0 million to $18.0 million (a portion of this amount will in effect be reflected as an adjustment to the purchase price rather than a part of the reserve). The merger does not include several other entities which use the Koll name, including Koll Construction, Koll Real Estate Group (the development and investment company) or Koll International (resorts and recreational developments). The transaction, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, still is subject to approval by shareholders of Koll and CB Commercial, as well as regulatory approvals and certain other consents and the fulfillment of various conditions. Pending shareholder approval, the companies seek to complete the merger by mid August 1997. 10 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION - CB Commercial Real Estate Services Group, Inc. (formerly CB Commercial Holdings, Inc.) ("CB Commercial") was organized to acquire Coldwell Banker Commercial Group, Inc. and had no operations prior to the acquisition on April 19, 1989 (the "Acquisition"). In 1991 Coldwell Banker Commercial Group, Inc. was renamed CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. On November 25, 1996, CB Commercial completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") of 4,347,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). The net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $80.0 million were used to repay a portion of the Company's senior secured indebtedness and senior subordinated indebtedness. CB Commercial is a holding company that conducts its operations solely through CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). The Company provides integrated real estate services which include (i) Property and User Services, consisting of brokerage (facilitating sales and leases), investment properties (acquisitions and sales on behalf of investors), corporate services, property management, and real estate market research, and (ii) Investor Services, consisting of mortgage banking (mortgage loan origination and servicing) through L.J. Melody & Company ("L.J. Melody"), investment management and advisory services through Westmark Realty Advisors L.L.C. ("Westmark"), and valuation and appraisal services. A significant portion of the Company's revenue is transactional in nature and seasonal. Historically, this seasonality has caused the Company's revenue, operating income and net income to be lower in the first two calendar quarters and higher in the third and fourth calendar quarters of each year. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1997 or for any future period. Revenue from Property and User Services, which constitutes a substantial majority of the Company's revenue, is largely transactional in nature and subject to economic cycles. However, the Company's significant size, geographic coverage, number of transactions and large client base tend to minimize the impact of economic cycles on annual revenue. Due in large part to acquisitions, revenue from Investor Services, a significant portion of which is non- transactional in nature, has grown more rapidly than revenue from Property and User Services. Approximately 54.1% of the costs and expenses associated with Property and User Services are directly correlated to revenue while approximately 23.8% of the costs and expenses of Investor Services are directly correlated to revenue. The Company has completed three strategic acquisitions since the beginning of 1995 and is continually assessing acquisition opportunities as part of its growth strategy. Because of the substantial non-cash goodwill and intangible amortization charges incurred by the Company in connection with acquisitions subject to purchase accounting and because of interest expense associated with acquisition financing, management anticipates that future acquisitions may adversely affect net income. In addition, during the first six months following an acquisition, the Company believes there are generally significant one-time costs relating to integrating information technology, accounting and management services and rationalizing personnel levels (which the Company intends to take as a single charge at the time of the acquisition to the extent possible). Management's strategy is to pursue acquisitions that are expected to be accretive to income before interest expense and provision for amortization of goodwill and intangibles, if any, resulting from the acquisitions, and to operating cash flows (excluding the costs of integration). Since 1992, the Company's results have benefitted from its ability to take advantage of a significant and ongoing recovery in U.S. commercial real estate markets and the generally rising level of occupancy and rental levels, and, as a result, property values. Since brokerage fees are typically based upon a percentage of transaction value, and property management fees are typically based upon a percentage of total rent collections, recent occupancy and rental rate increases at the property level have generated an increase in brokerage and property management fees to the Company. 11 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED) The $0.25 per share quarterly dividend on the Company's Preferred Stock, which accrues from October 1, 1996, will result, if and when paid, in a cost of $1.0 million per quarter. Until the Company has completed its acquisition program, it does not intend to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock. As a consequence, such dividends will accumulate and bear interest, which will be paid on a current basis. The Company's revenues are impacted by numerous factors, including the perception of trends in the general economy, interest rate levels and anticipated and actual changes in the federal tax law. The Company's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $10.1 million and $8.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. EBITDA effectively removes the impact of certain non-cash charges on income such as depreciation and amortization of intangible assets relating to acquisitions and Federal income taxes to the extent they are offset by NOLs. Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA will enhance a reader's understanding of the Company's operating performance and ability to service debt as it provides a measure of cash generated that can be used by the Company to service its debt and other required or discretionary purposes. Net cash that will be available to the Company for discretionary purposes represents remaining cash, after debt service and other cash requirements, such as capital expenditures, are deducted from EBITDA. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to (i) operating income determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP.

13 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED) QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997, COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 REVENUE on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $134.1 million, an increase of $21.4 million or 18.9% from $112.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The overall increase in revenue, compared to the same period in 1996, reflected a continued improvement in the commercial real estate markets across the country. This improvement reflected increasing investor confidence, in the national economy and, in particular, real estate assets, increasing asset values and, as a result, heightened real estate market liquidity. Property and User Services revenue was $117.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $20.5 million or 21.1% from $97.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Brokerage revenue accounted for $80.1 million, an increase of $15.0 million or 23.1% from $65.1 million, and investment properties revenue accounted for $26.7 million, an increase of $4.0 million or 17.8% from $22.7 million. These increases resulted in part from an increase in the total number and size of brokerage and investment properties sale transactions closed during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to transactions closed during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Property management revenue was $4.7 million for both quarters, and corporate services revenue was $5.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 37.4% from $4.3 million. Investor Services revenue was $16.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $0.8 million or 5.4% from $15.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Mortgage banking revenue was $4.7 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 33.2% from $3.5 million primarily as a result of the L.J. Melody acquisition. Valuation and appraisal services revenue accounted for $4.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 12.9% from $3.8 million. Investment Management and Advisory revenue was $7.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 10.1% from $8.1 million. COMMISSIONS, FEES AND OTHER INCENTIVES on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $67.6 million, an increase of $12.6 million or 22.9% from $55.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase in these costs is largely correlated to the increase in revenue since most of the Company's sales professionals are compensated based on revenue. As a percentage of revenue, commissions fees and other incentives increased from 48.8% in 1996 to 50.4% in 1997. The increase in commissions, fees and other incentives as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the revenue reduction in investment management and advisory, which does not incur this type of revenue-based expense. Excluding investment management and advisory, commissions, fees and other incentives as a percent of revenues increased from 52.6% for 1996 to 53.3% for 1997, primarily as a result of increased commission eligibility resulting from the revenue increase. Property and User Services commissions, fees and other incentives were $63.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $11.8 million or 22.9% from $51.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, an increase as a percentage of revenue from 53.3% in 1996 to 54.1% in 1997 for the reason described above. Investor Services commissions, fees and other incentives were $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $0.7 million or 23.2% from $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 for the reason described above. OPERATING, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $56.4 million, an increase of $6.8 million or 13.8% from $49.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, and decreased as a percentage of revenue for such periods from 44.0% to 42.1%. Property and User Services operating, administrative and other was $46.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $6.3 million or 15.8% from $40.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, but decreased as a percentage of revenue from 41.2% to 39.4%. Investor Services operating, administrative and other was $10.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $0.5 million or 5.4% from $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, but remained flat as a percentage of revenues at 61.3% for both periods. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 4.8% from $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 14 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED) QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997, COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 (CONTINUED) Property and User Services depreciation and amortization was $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $0.4 million or 15.1% from $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Investor Services depreciation and amortization was $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $0.2 million or 23.2% from 0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. OPERATING INCOME on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $6.9 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 41.9% from $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase in operating income resulted from an increase in revenue of $21.4 million or 18.9% partially offset by a related increase in commission expense of $12.6 million or 22.9%, and a $6.8 million or 13.8% increase in operating expenses as described above. Property and User Services operating income was $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $2.7 million or 90.5% from $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase in Property and User Services operating income resulted from an increase in Property and User Services revenue of $20.5 million or 21.1% partially offset by a related increase in commission expense of $11.8 million or 22.9%, and a $6.3 million or 15.8% increase in operating expenses as described above. Investor Services operating income was $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $0.6 million or 31.0% from $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The decrease in Investor Services operating income resulted from an increase in Investor Services revenue of $0.8 million or 5.4% which was more than offset by a related increase in commission expense of $0.7 million or 23.2%, and a $0.5 million or 5.4% increase in operating expenses as described above. INTEREST EXPENSE on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $2.2 million or 36.8% from $5.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as a result of paydowns on the debt primarily related to the IPO. NET PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAX on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was a $1.6 million provision, compared to a $48,000 benefit for the quarter ending March 31, 1996. The 1997 provision is related to positive pretax income and the use of the full effective tax rate in 1997 resulting from the recognition of a portion of the Company's deferred tax assets in 1996 by reversing the related valuation allowance. Reference is made to Note 9 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 for discussion of the Company's deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. NET INCOME on a consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $2.3 million ($0.9 per share of common stock), an improvement of $2.9 million from a net loss of $0.6 million ($0.05 loss per share of common stock) for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The improvement primarily resulted from a revenue increase of $21.4 million or 18.9% and a $2.2 million or 36.8% decrease in interest expense which was partially offset by a related increase in commission expense of $12.6 million or 22.9%, a $6.8 million or 13.8% increase in operating expenses, and an increase in income tax expense of $1.6 million as described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - The Company has historically financed its operations and non-acquisition related capital expenditures primarily with internally generated funds, and borrowings under a revolving credit facility. In order to finance the acquisition of CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. and related expenses, in April 1989 the Company incurred borrowings of $251.0 million, which included $170.0 million under a senior secured credit agreement (the "Senior Secured Credit Agreement") and $81.0 million under a senior subordinated credit agreement (the "Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement"). As of March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding $52.8 million under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and $16.0 million under a revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility A"), no amounts outstanding under its second revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility B" and together with Revolving Credit Facility A, the "Revolving Credit Facilities") and $65.9 million under the Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement. In addition, 15 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED) as of March 31, 1997 the Company had outstanding other long-term indebtedness, consisting primarily of acquisition debt, totaling approximately $41.3 million. In connection with the Offering, the senior secured lenders agreed to amend the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. As amended, the Company is required to make quarterly principal payments of $2.625 million which commenced March 31, 1997 with a final payment of $5.5 million on December 31, 2001. As amended, the senior indebtedness bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%, all of which interest is payable currently. Revolving Credit Facility A permits maximum borrowings of $20.0 million which must be paid off in full for at least 30 consecutive days in each year commencing with 1997. Revolving Credit Facility B is a facility that can be used for acquisitions and will bear interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points. The Company has begun discussions to increase Revolving Credit Facility B from $10.0 million to $50.0 million sometime in 1997, although there can be no assurance that such discussions will be successful or if successful that $50.0 million will be adequate to finance the Company's acquisition program. Also in connection with the Offering, the senior subordinated credit terms were amended. As amended, interest is payable on a current basis commencing January 1, 1997 and the entire amount outstanding under the Senior Subordinated Credit Agreement is due on July 23, 2002. The senior subordinated indebtedness bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1998 LIBOR plus 2.0% during 1999, LIBOR plus 3.0% during 2000 and LIBOR plus 4.0% during 2001 and subsequent periods. Interest in excess of LIBOR plus 1.25% will be deferred and added to the principal balance of the senior subordinated indebtedness until the final maturity of the senior subordinated indebtedness. Interest payments on outstanding senior subordinated debt had been deferred since June 1994 until the payment in full of the senior secured debt. The Company expects to have capital expenditures of approximately $5.0 million in 1997 exclusive of acquisitions. In connection with the Westmark acquisition, the sellers may be entitled to a supplemental purchase price based on the operating results of Westmark payable over a period of six years and subject to a maximum aggregate payment of $18.0 million. The Company expects to use net cash provided by operating activities for the next several years primarily to fund acquisitions, including earnout payments, and to make required principal payments under the Company's outstanding indebtedness. The Company believes that it can satisfy these obligations as well as working capital requirements from internally generated cash flow, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities and, with respect to acquisitions that require cash, seller financing and third-party borrowing. Effective October 1996, a dividend on the Company's preferred stock was reinstated. The $0.25 per share quarterly dividend on the Company's Preferred Stock has accrued from October 1, 1996, and will result, if and when paid, in a cost of $1.0 million per quarter. Until the Company has completed its acquisition program, it does not intend to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock. The Company anticipates that its existing sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months. EBITDA effectively removes the impact of certain non-cash charges on income such as depreciation and amortization of intangible assets relating to acquisitions and Federal income taxes to the extent they are offset by NOLs. Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA will enhance a reader's understanding of the Company's operating performance and ability to service debt as it provides a measure of cash generated that can be used by the Company to service its debt and other required or discretionary purposes. Net cash that will be available to the Company for discretionary purposes represents remaining cash, after debt service and other cash requirements, such as capital expenditures, are deducted from EBITDA. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to (i) operating income determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP. RECENT LITIGATION The Company is a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, its ordinary course of business. In August 1993, a former commissioned salesperson of the Company filed a lawsuit against the 16 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED) Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bargain County, alleging gender discrimination and wrongful termination by the Company. On November 20, 1996 a jury returned a verdict against the Company, awarding $6.5 million in general and punitive damages to the plaintiff. The Company hired new counsel and in January 1997 filed motions for a new trial, reversal of the verdict and reduction of damages. On March 27, 1997 the trial court denied the Company's motions and awarded the plaintiff $638,000 in attorneys' fees and costs. The Company has been advised by appellate counsel that it has a meritorious basis to pursue an appeal of the verdict, which the Company will do. This accrual was initially established at $250,000 in 1994 and increased to $800,000 in 1995 and represented the Company's estimate of its loss exposure for this matter based on its assessment and analysis as of those dates. In 1996, further adjustments were made to the reserve to reflect the Company's estimate of ultimate loss, if any. The Company believes its reserves for this case at March 31, 1997 are adequate. Based on available cash and anticipated cash flows, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome will not have an impact on the Company's ability to carry on its operations. Management believes that any liability to the Company that may result from disposition of these lawsuits will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. CASH FLOWS Net cash used in operating activities was $15.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $12.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase primarily resulted from changes in components of operating assets and liabilities and a decrease in deferred interest offset, in part, by an increase in net income, deferred taxes and deferred compensation. Net cash used in investing activities was $9.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as a result of additional supplemental purchase price payments to the Westmark sellers, an increase in purchases of property and equipment in 1997 and an increase in short term investments in 1997. Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $7.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The $4.2 million increase in cash provided by financing resulted primarily from the $4.0 million increase in borrowings under the senior revolving credit line in 1997 over 1996. INFLATION The Company's operations are directly affected by various national and economic conditions, including interest rates, the availability of credit to finance commercial real estate transactions and the impact of tax laws. To date, the Company does not believe that general inflation has had a material impact upon its operations. Revenues, commissions and other variable costs related to revenues are primarily affected by real estate market supply and demand versus general inflation. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights and SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation. These standards, including the proforma effect of SFAS No. 123, were not material to the Company's financial statements. In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. The Company adopted this statement as it applies to L.J. Melody. This statement requires that financial and servicing assets on originated loans and related liabilities be recognized at fair value and amortized over the life of the estimated net servicing income or loss. Write-off of the asset is required when control is surrendered and of the liability when extinguished. The adoption has resulted in the recognition of amortization cost along with income from servicing as services are performed and the recognition of 17 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (CONTINUED) gains or losses at the time servicing rights are sold. Management of the Company believes that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This statement establishes standards for computing presented earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. It requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 18 CB COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES GROUP, INC.

At the Effective Time, (a) the separate --------------------- existence of Acquisition Corporation shall cease and Acquisition Corporation shall be merged with and into Koll, which shall be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"); (b) the Certificate of Incorporation of Acquisition Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; (c) the Bylaws of Acquisition Corporation shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation; (d) the directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof; (e) the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof; and (f) the Merger shall, from and after the Effective Time, have all the effects provided by applicable law, including the Delaware General Corporation Law. 2.3 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the ----------------------- Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any of the issued and outstanding shares of Koll Common: (a) Capital Stock of Acquisition Corporation. All issued and ---------------------------------------- outstanding shares of capital stock of Acquisition Corporation shall continue to be issued and shall be converted into 1,000 shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Acquisition Corporation evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence owner ship of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. (b) Cancellation of Koll-Owned and CBC-Owned Stock. All shares of ---------------------------------------------- Koll Common, if any, that are owned directly or indirectly by Koll and by CBC or any of its Subsidiaries shall be canceled, and no stock of CBC or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. (c) Conversion of Koll Common. Other than shares to be canceled ------------------------- pursuant to Section 2.3(b), Dissenting Shares and fractional shares as provided in Section 2.3(e) and (f), each share of Koll Common issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into (i) 0.776175 shares of CBC Common subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.3(d) (hereinafter the "Stock Exchange Ratio") and (ii) a number of Warrants (the "Warrants") equal to (A) 600,000 divided by (B)(1) the number of shares of Koll Common outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time plus (2) the number of shares of Koll Common into which Koll Options outstanding and held by individuals who are directors, employees or consultants of Koll or Subs immediately prior to the Effective Time are exercisable (the "Warrant Exchange Ratio"); each Warrant shall be exercisable into one share of CBC Common at an exercise price of $30.00 per share of CBC Common. In addition, each Warrant shall have a term of 7 years from the Closing Date, shall become -6- exercisable on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B and shall be in substantially the form of the Warrant Certificate attached as an Exhibit thereto.

(d) Adjustment of Exchange Ratio. If, between the date of this ---------------------------- Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of CBC Common or Koll Common shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, the Stock Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted. In addition, for each $100,000 by which Bank Indebtedness exceeds $47,375,000 or by which any subcategory of Bank Indebtedness exceeds the applicable sublimit set forth in Section 6.14 (but without duplication), the Stock Exchange Ratio shall be reduced by 0.0005883. (e) Dissenters' Rights of Stockholders of Koll. Any Dissenting ------------------------------------------ Shares shall not be converted into CBC Common and Dissenting Stockholders shall not have the right to receive any Warrants. Dissenting Shares shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, if the Dissenting Stockholder holding such shares is entitled to dissenters' rights under such section. Koll agrees that, except with the prior written consent of CBC, or as required under the Delaware General Corporation Law, it will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal. Each Dissenting Stockholder who, pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and subject to any agreements binding upon such Dissenting Stockholder, becomes entitled to payment of the value of shares of Koll Common shall receive payment therefor (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). In the event of the legal obligation, after the Effective Time, to deliver shares of CBC Common to any Dissenting Stockholder who shall have failed to make an effective demand for appraisal or shall have lost his status as a Dissenting Stockholder, CBC shall issue and deliver, upon surrender by such Dissenting -7- Stockholder of his certificate or certificates representing shares of Koll Common, the shares of CBC Common, Warrants and payments in lieu of fractional shares to which such Dissenting Stockholder is then entitled under this Section 2.3 and Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. (f) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of CBC Common shall be ----------------- issued, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Koll Common who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of CBC Common (after aggregating all fractional shares of CBC Common to be received by such holder) shall receive from CBC an amount of cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share of CBC Common to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, times (ii) the average closing sale price of a share of CBC Common for the ten (10) most recent days on which CBC Common has traded ending the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ"). Each holder of Koll Common will be issued one certificate representing all Warrants to which it is entitled rounded down to the nearest whole number. 2.4 Exchange of Certificates. At the Closing, each holder of shares of ------------------------ Koll Common other than Dissenting Stockholders will surrender the certificate(s) (a "Certificate") representing such shareholder's shares of Koll Common to CBC. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to CBC, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of CBC Common (represented by a certificate), payments in lieu of fractional shares and Warrants to which the holder of Koll Common is entitled pursuant to Section 2.3 and the Certificate of Merger and is represented by the Certificate so surrendered. The Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Koll Common which is not registered in the transfer records of Koll, the appropriate number of shares of CBC Common may be delivered to a transferee if the Certificate representing the right to receive such CBC Common is presented to CBC and accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent the right to receive upon such surrender the number of shares of CBC Common as provided by this Section 2.4 and the Delaware General Corporation Law. CBC shall follow the same procedure with respect to lost, stolen or mutilated Koll certificates as it follows with respect to lost, stolen or mutilated CBC certificates. Unless and until any such certificates shall be so surrendered, any dividends paid or other distributions made to holders of record of CBC Common after the Effective Time shall be retained by CBC and paid over to such holder when such certificate is surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.4(c). -8- 2.5 Board of Directors; Officers. Upon the Effective Time: ---------------------------- (a) The directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be as named in the Certificate of Merger and each shall remain a director from the Effective Time until such director's successor shall have been elected and shall qualify, or as otherwise provided in the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. (b) The officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be as named in the Certificate of Merger and shall each hold office from the Effective Time until such officer's successor shall have been elected and shall qualify, or as otherwise provided in the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. (c) If at the Effective Time a vacancy shall exist in the Board of Directors or in any of the offices of the Surviving Corporation, such vacancy may thereafter be filled in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. 2.6 No Further Ownership Rights in Koll Common. All CBC Common delivered ------------------------------------------ upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Koll Common in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Koll Common. There shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Koll Common which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2. 2.7 Tax Treatment. The parties intend that the Merger will be treated as ------------- a reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and that this Agreement be treated as a Plan of Reorganization for such purpose. 2.8 Employee Stock Options.

CBC and its Subsidiaries shall not permit any of their ------------- officers, directors, employees or agents to take any action that would, or reasonably would be expected to, result in any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any material respect, or in any of the conditions set forth in Article 11 not being satisfied. 8.7 Accounting Methods. CBC and its Subsidiaries shall not change their ------------------ methods of accounting in effect at December 31, 1996, except as required by changes in GAAP as concurred in by CBC's independent auditors. -44- 8.8 Indemnification of Directors and Officers. ----------------------------------------- (a) CBC and Group shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of Koll or any Sub prior to the Effective Time (an "Indemnified Agent"), against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person. CBC shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless a person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) (i) initiated by such person unless the Proceeding (or part thereof initiated by such person) was authorized by the Board of Directors or (ii) in which it is determined that such Indemnified Agent had actual knowledge at or prior to the Closing of any fact, event or circumstance which would have constituted a breach of this Agreement. (b) The right to indemnification conferred by this Article 8 shall be presumed to have been relied upon by the Indemnitee and shall be enforceable as a contract right. CBC may enter into contracts to provide individual Indemnitees with specific rights of indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and may create trust funds, grant security interests, obtain letters of credit or use other means to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect the rights provided in this Article 8 or in any such contract. (c) Except for any Proceeding described in the last sentence of Section 8.8(a), upon making a request for indemnification, the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.8 and CBC shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination. Such indemnification shall include the right to receive payment in advance of any reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding described in the last sentence of Section 8.8(a)) consistent with the provisions of applicable law. (d) If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted under this Section 8.8, the Indemnified Agent shall give prompt written notice of such action or claim to the Indemnifying Party who shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Agent and the payment of all expenses; except that any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at -45- all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Agent shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any of the foregoing Proceedings and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Agent. In the event that the Indemnifying Party, within ten days after notice of any such action or claim, fails to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Agent shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Proceeding for the account of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable efforts to assist in the defense of such matter, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume, at its expense, the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Agent at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof, and provided that CBC shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Anything in this Section 8.8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Agent's prior written consent, settle or compromise any action or claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Proceeding for anything other than money damages paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may, without the Indemnified Agent's prior written consent, settle or compromise any such Proceeding or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such action or claim that requires solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and that includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Agent from all liability with respect to such Proceeding. The Indemnified Agents as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter, at CBC's and Group's expense, unless there is, under applicable standards of conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between any two or more Indemnified Agents or between an Indemnified Agent and an Indemnifying Party which is a co-defendant in the proceeding and is represented by the same counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.8(b) shall be construed to require any Indemnifying Party to indemnify any Indemnified Agent for any Unindemnified Liability. (e) This Section 8.8 is intended for the benefit of the Indemnified Agents (each of whom shall be entitled to enforce this Section 8.8 against CBC) and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns to CBC. This Section 8.8 shall survive the Effective Time and continue in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time; provided, that, in the event any claim is asserted or made within such six year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim shall continue until final disposition of such claim. -46- (f) If this Section 8.8 is found to be unenforceable under applicable law or materially limited by a contract to which CBC or Group is a party, CBC and Group shall indemnify the Indemnified Agents in accordance with the terms of their current indemnity agreements with Koll and the current Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation of Koll. 8.9 Tax Treatment. CBC and its Subsidiaries shall not take or cause to be ------------- taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time, that would disqualify the Merger as a reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. CBC and Acquisition Corporation agree to make such reasonable representations as may be requested by Koll or the Koll Shareholders in connection with the opinion to be delivered by counsel for Koll pursuant to Section 11.3(g). 8.10 Listing on NASDAQ.

Koll shall use its best efforts to furnish to CBC all information concerning Koll and the holders of its outstanding securities as may be reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Article 9. CBC will promptly notify Koll and provide Koll with copies of any correspondence between -47- CBC and its representatives, on the one hand and the SEC, its staff or any state securities administrators on the other. ARTICLE 10 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS --------------------- 10.1 Access to Information. Koll shall afford to CBC and shall cause its --------------------- independent accountants to afford to CBC, and its accountants, counsel and other representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all of Koll and Sub's properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and to the independent accountants reasonable access to the audit work papers and other records of Koll's accountants. During such period, Koll shall use reasonable efforts to furnish promptly to CBC (a) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or received by Koll during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal and state securities laws and (b) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of Koll and Subs as CBC may reasonably request. CBC will not use such information for purposes other than this Agreement and will otherwise hold such information in confidence (and CBC will cause its consultants and advisors also to hold such information in confidence) pursuant to the terms of that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 21, 1997, by and among CBC, Koll, FS, Apollo and Donald M. Koll until such time as such information otherwise becomes publicly available, and in the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason CBC shall promptly return, or cause to be returned, to the disclosing party all documents obtained from Koll and Subs, and any copies made of such documents, extracts and copies thereof. CBC shall provide to Koll and its counsel, independent accountants and other representatives, access to such information regarding CBC as, in CBC's sole opinion, would customarily be provided to an underwriter in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering shares of CBC Common or attached as an exhibit thereto. 10.2 Legal Conditions to the Merger. Each party will take and will cause ------------------------------ its respective Subsidiaries to take all reasonable actions necessary to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party with respect to the Merger (including furnishing all information required under the HSR Act) and will promptly cooperate with and furnish information to the other party in connection with any such requirements imposed upon such other party or any Subsidiary of such other party in connection with the Merger. Each party will take, and will cause its respective Subsidiaries to take, all reasonable actions to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party and its Subsidiaries in obtaining) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any -48- governmental authority, or other third party, required to be obtained or made by such party or its Subsidiaries (or by the other party or its Subsidiaries) in connection with the Merger or the taking of any action contemplated thereby or by this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 10.2 only, Koll will not be considered a Subsidiary of FS. 10.3 Koll Stockholders' Approval.

At least ten days prior to the date of the Koll ---------- Stockholders' Meeting, Koll shall deliver to CBC a list of names and addresses of those persons who were, in Koll's reasonable judgment, at the record date for the Koll Stockholders' Meeting, "affiliates" of Koll within the meaning of Rule 145 (each such person, together with the persons identified below, an "Affiliate") of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act ("Rule 145"). -50- Koll shall provide CBC such information and documents as CBC shall reasonably request for purposes of reviewing such list. There shall be added to such list the names and addresses of any other person (within the meaning of Rule 145) that CBC reasonably identifies (by written notice to Koll within three Business Days after CBC's receipt of such list) as being a person who may be deemed to be an Affiliate of Koll within the meaning of Rule 145; provided, however, that no such person identified by CBC shall be added to the list of Affiliates of Koll if CBC shall receive from Koll, on or before the Effective Time, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to CBC to the effect that such person is not an Affiliate.

In addition, following the Effective Time, each such individual entitled to receive a CBC Option will receive a number of Warrants equal to the Warrant Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Koll Common into which such Koll Option is exercisable. Each and every CBC Option so substituted by CBC under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Koll option plans and/or in the other documents governing such Koll Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such CBC Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of CBC Common equal to the product of the number of shares of Koll Common that were purchasable under such Koll Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Stock Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of CBC Common, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of CBC Common issuable upon exercise of such CBC Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Koll Common at which such Koll Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Stock Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. The parties shall use their best efforts to provide that the transactions contemplated by this -51- Agreement will not terminate or accelerate any substituted CBC Option or any right of exercise, vesting or repurchase thereunder with respect to shares acquired upon exercise of such option other than Koll Options intentionally accelerated by Koll in contemplation of the Merger. The right to receive a substituted CBC Option issued pursuant to any documents governing such substituted CBC Option may not be assigned or transferred in any manner except by operation of law, by will or by the laws of descent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. As of the Effective Time, CBC shall have reserved for issuance and continue to maintain shares of CBC Common sufficient to issue the required shares of CBC Common pursuant to the exercise of the substituted CBC Options after the Effective Time. CBC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any CBC Options issued in substitution for existing Koll Options and any Warrants issued in respect of such Koll Options pursuant to this Section 10.12 to be covered by an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") at or before the Effective Time. CBC covenants and agrees that on or prior to the Closing Date, CBC's Board of Directors (or a committee thereof composed solely of two or more non-employee directors (as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) of the Exchange Act)) shall have, in accordance with Rule 16b-3(d)(1) of the Exchange Act, approved the grant of such substituted CBC Options, identified the individuals receiving such CBC Options and identified which of such individuals are or following the Merger will be directors or officers of CBC subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. (b) Documentation. At the Closing, CBC shall issue to each holder of ------------- an outstanding Koll Option a document evidencing the substitution of a CBC Option for such Koll Option pursuant to this Section, in a form mutually satisfactory to the parties hereto. (c) Reallocation of Warrants. Following the Effective Time and until ------------------------ the Warrants become exercisable, if any CBC Option substituted for a Koll Option expires or is terminated without being exercised, all Warrants issued in respect of such option shall be forfeited by the holder thereof. At such time as the Warrants become exercisable, all Warrants forfeited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be reallocated among those individuals who held shares of Koll Common or Koll Options as of the date hereof (as set forth on Schedule -------- 3.2(c)) (each a "Reallocation Holder" and collectively, the "Reallocation - ------ Holders") pro rata based on the aggregate number of shares of the CBC Common issued and shares of CBC Common underlying CBC Options issued to each Reallocation Holder pursuant hereto divided by the total number of shares of CBC Common issued and shares of CBC Common underlying CBC Options issued to all Reallocation Holders pursuant hereto. -52- 10.13 Composition of CBC Board. Following the Effective Time, so long as ------------------------ the Koll Shareholders who are signatories to this Agreement hold shares equal to 60% of the shares originally issued to them pursuant to this Agreement (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar events) CBC will cause three individuals selected by the Koll Shareholders (the "Majority Koll Shareholders") holding a majority of the shares of CBC Common received in the Merger and then held by the Koll Shareholders and reasonably satisfactory to the Corporate Governance Committee of CBC's Board of Directors to be nominated for election to CBC's Board of Directors. For so long as they are employed or engaged by CBC two of those individuals will be RW and DMK. In addition to the three directors referred to above, following the Effective Time and until the election of directors to CBC's Board of Directors first following the Effective Time, CBC will cause one individual selected by AP KMS II, LLC and reasonably satisfactory to the Corporate Governance Committee of CBC's Board of Directors to be nominated to CBC's Board of Directors. In the event that the Koll Shareholders no longer hold shares equal to 60% of the shares originally issued to them pursuant to this Agreement (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar events), so long as FS owns 60% of the shares originally issued to FS pursuant to this Agreement (as adjusted to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar events) CBC will cause one individual selected by FS and reasonably satisfactory to CBC to be nominated for election to CBC's Board of Directors. Upon their election to CBC's Board of Directors, CBC shall enter into an indemnity agreement with the directors described above in the form which CBC's current directors and CBC are parties to. 10.14 Agreements of Donald M. Koll. DMK hereby agrees (i) to the ---------------------------- assignment to CBC of the License Agreement and the Noncompetition Agreements and (ii) to cause KHC to enter into the Voting Agreement and to otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.3. 10.15 Tax Treatment. Each party hereto agrees to take such further ------------- actions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law as may be reasonably necessary to cause the Merger to be treated as a reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, including but not limited to preparing appropriate returns, filings and reports consistent with the treatment of the Merger as such a reorganization, provided, however, that CBC shall not be -------- ------- required to take any action which, in the sole judgment of CBC, would incur or result in it incurring a material economic cost. 10.16 Reservation of Shares. CBC will at all times reserve and keep --------------------- available out of its authorized but unissued -53- shares of CBC Common such number of shares as is issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Warrants, CBC Options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase CBC Common. 10.17 K/B Opportunity Funds. Koll will do the following with respect to --------------------- K/B Opportunity Fund I, K/B Opportunity Fund II and K/B Opportunity Fund III (individually a "K/B Fund" and collectively the "K/B Funds"): (a) Prior to the Closing, Koll will cause the general partner of each K/B Fund to advise each limited partner or other investor in such K/B Fund of the impending merger between Koll and CBC and that the general partner intends to engage Group as a listing broker where it is the best choice as listing broker and where Group is not the listing broker to pay it an appropriate commission only if and when it provides the buyer for any property sold by such K/B Fund. After the Closing, the Koll Shareholders will use their reasonable best efforts to cause each K/B Fund to engage Group as the exclusive listing broker for the disposition of such fund's properties or, where that is not feasible, to engage Group as the listing broker on a property by property basis. (b) In the event at any time prior to January 1, 2003, a K/B Fund is unable to pay Group a commission (whether as listing or procuring broker) because one or more limited partners in a K/B Fund has objected to such payment, and such K/B Fund is unable to resolve the objection within 60 days so that Group may receive its commission if it is the listing or procuring broker, then the Koll Shareholders will owe to Group the applicable commission with respect to such property as determined from Schedule 10.17. In the event the -------------- partnership agreement of any K/B Fund is amended in a legally binding manner to permit Group to be paid commissions with respect to all of the properties of such Fund this Section 10.17 shall not apply to such Fund. To the extent the limited partners of and any other investors in any K/B Fund consent (in a legally binding manner) to Group receiving commissions with respect to one or more properties or waive (in a legally binding manner) any prohibition on Group receiving commissions on one or more properties then this Section 10.17 shall not apply to such properties. (c) The Koll Shareholders shall have no obligation to pay a commission with respect to any property transferred to a Real Estate Investment Trust as to which a Koll Affiliate is an asset manager, a sub asset manager or a property manager (an "Affiliated REIT") or to the extent Group has received commissions with respect to the sale of properties by the K/B Funds (whether from the K/B Funds, the Koll Shareholders or a third party) equal to half of the maximum commission applicable to "Eligible Properties" as determined pursuant to Schedule 10.17. The term Eligible Properties means the - -------------- -54- properties listed on Schedule 10.17 other than (i) any such properties listed as -------------- "Non-Included Properties," (ii) any properties transferred, prior to January 1, 2003, to an Affiliated REIT and (iii) any property sold prior to January 1, 2003 by such fund where throughout the period such property has been offered for sale, Group has the right or a full and fair competitive opportunity to receive a commission from its sale if Group were the listing or procuring broker. The Koll Shareholders may pay the aggregate amount, if any, due to Group by the Koll Shareholders pursuant to this Section 10.17 at any time, up to and including December 31, 2002, at which date all amounts due hereunder must be paid. At such time as the Koll Shareholders pay the amounts due hereunder, if any, in addition to the amounts due calculated in accordance with Schedule 10.17, the Koll Shareholders shall also pay interest on such amounts, at a rate of eight percent (8%), compounded annually, from the date an obligation is incurred hereunder until the date such payment is made. Any commissions collected by Group with respect to the disposition of Eligible Properties in excess of the amounts set forth on Schedule 10.17 with respect to a specified K/B Fund shall be applied to reduce any amounts thereafter payable by the Koll Shareholders with respect to the other K/B Funds. (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10.17 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time and shall continue until the earlier of (i) the Koll Shareholders have satisfied all their obligations under Subsections (b) and (c) hereof, (ii) Group has received commissions with respect to the sale of properties by the K/B Funds (whether from the K/B Funds, the Koll Shareholders or a third party) equal to half of the maximum commission applicable to "Eligible Properties" as determined pursuant to Schedule 10.17 and Section -------------- 10.17(c) or (iii) all Eligible Properties have been transferred to an Affiliated REIT.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in ---------------------- this Section 13.3, on or after the Closing Date, CBC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Koll Shareholders and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, heirs and assigns (the Koll Shareholders and such other persons, collectively "Shareholders' Indemnified Persons") and shall reimburse the Shareholders' Indemnified Persons for, from and against all Losses imposed on or incurred by the Shareholders' Indemnified Persons, directly or indirectly, relating to, resulting from or arising out of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.3(a) and 5.9 hereof in any respect, whether or not Shareholders' Indemnified Persons relied thereon or had knowledge thereof. 13.4 Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims. If any Proceeding shall be ---------------------------------------- brought or asserted under this Section 13.4 against an indemnified party or any successor thereto (the "Indemnified Person") in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article 13 from an indemnifying person or any successor thereto (the "Indemnifying Person"), the Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice of such Proceeding to the Indemnifying Person who shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and the payment of all expenses; except that any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Person shall relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any of the foregoing Proceedings and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person unless both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person are named as parties and the -65- Indemnified Person shall in good faith determine that the representation by the same counsel is inappropriate. In the event that the Indemnifying Person, within ten days after notice of any such Proceeding, fails to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Proceeding for the account of the Indemnifying Persons, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Person to assume, at its expense, the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof. Anything in this Article 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Person shall not, without the Indemnified Person's prior written consent, settle or compromise any Proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Proceeding for anything other than money damages paid by the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person may, without the Indemnified Person's prior written consent, settle or compromise any such Proceeding or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Proceeding that requires solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Person and that includes as an unconditional term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Person from all liability with respect to such Proceeding. 13.5 Exclusivity. From and after the Closing Date, the rights and remedies ----------- provided in this Article 13 shall be the exclusive rights and remedies, contractual or otherwise, of the Indemnified Persons with respect to inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. ARTICLE 14 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES ------------------- CBC shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred incident to the preparation and carrying out of the transactions herein contemplated (including legal, accounting and investment banking services and travel) provided however that the aggregate amount payable by CBC and Koll for all fees and expenses of all legal counsel to Koll and the Koll Shareholders shall not exceed $500,000 and any amount payable in excess of such amount for fees and expenses of legal counsel of Koll and the Koll Shareholders shall be payable by the Koll Shareholders. CBC shall also pay all government filing fees including under the HSR Act and with the SEC, any state securities commission, and the Department of Corporations and the costs of printing, filing and mailing the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement (collectively, the "Filing Fees").
