corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of CalWest. This Schedule TO relates to
the third-party tender offer by Rooster Acquisition Corp. to purchase all of the
issued and outstanding common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Common Shares"), of Cabot Industrial Trust ("Cabot"), a Maryland
real estate investment trust (including the associated preferred share purchase

amended and restated as of September 10, 1998, and as further amended on October
28, 2001 between Cabot and EquiServe Limited Partnership (as successor to

upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase,
dated November 5, 2001 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO.
