Entry
        into a Material Definitive Agreement
.
On
        December 12, 2006, Stratus Properties Inc. ("Stratus") entered into Amended and
        Restated Loan Agreements with each of American Strategic Income Portfolio
        Inc.-II and American Select Portfolio Inc. (collectively, the "Amended and
        Restated Agreements"), both of which are affiliates of First American Asset
        Management. The Amended and Restated Agreements extend the terms of the loans
        to
        December 31, 2011, and decrease the interest rates applicable to amounts
        borrowed under each of the loans to 6.56% per year. The aggregate unsecured
        amounts borrowed under the Amended and Restated Agreements remain $10
        million.
On
        December 12, 2006, Stratus also entered into two separate Loan Agreements
        with
        Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (collectively, the "Loan Agreements"), an
        affiliate of First American Asset Management, to borrow an additional $15
        million to fund the purchase of the land to be used in connection with Stratus'
Block 21 Project. The Loan Agreements expire and are repayable in full on
        December 31, 2011.
The
        Loan
        Agreements contain customary financial covenants and other restrictions.
        Except
        in certain events related to a change in control of Stratus, the loans may
        not
        be prepaid prior to December 31, 2007. Beginning on January 1, 2008, the
        loans
        may be prepaid subject to certain reinvestment charges as further described
        in
        the related promissory notes. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreements
        bear
        interest at a rate of 6.56% per year. Repayments under the Loan Agreements
        can
        be accelerated by the lender upon the occurrence of certain customary events
        of
        default. Stratus' obligations under the Loan Agreements are
        unsecured.
Item
