Treasurer in banking relations and cash management at Associates First Capital
Corporation from November 1991 through January 1999. Mr. Porter received a

             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") requires the Company's officers, trust managers and persons who
own more than 10% of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Shares") or the Company's 6 3/4% Series A
convertible cumulative preferred shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01
per share (the "Preferred Shares") to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and
changes in ownership on Forms 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") and the New York Stock Exchange. The Commission
rules also require such officers, trust managers and 10% holders to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

    Based solely on its review of copies of such reports received or written
representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, trust managers and
10% shareholders were complied with for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001,
except that Mr. Rainwater filed on an untimely basis one Statement of Changes in
Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 reporting a single transaction involving the
private transfer to an individual of 7,548 units of the Operating Partnership
(equivalent to 15,096 shares of the Company) to satisfy a preexisting
contractual obligation to the transferee.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    The following table sets forth the annual and long-term compensation paid or
awarded for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, to the Company's
current Chief Executive Officer and to the four most highly compensated
executive officers of the Company and the General Partner (collectively, the
"Named Executive Officers"). As a result of the Company's umbrella partnership
REIT structure, the General Partner, rather than the Company, compensates all
employees. The Company did not grant any stock appreciation rights ("SARs")
during this period.

(1)  Amounts represent matching contributions that the General Partner made to
     Mr. Goff, Mr. Albert's and Mr. Dean's individual 401(k) Plan accounts in
     the amount of $7,875, $1,404 and $7,893, respectively, and dividends earned
     on dividend incentive units ("DIUs") of $47,296, $(43,312) and $8,684,
     respectively, that are invested in public mutual funds made available to
     the holders by the General Partner. See Note 2 below for additional
     explanation of DIUs.

(2)  This amount includes a non-cash distribution for DIUs into separate
     interest bearing accounts maintained by the Company for Mr. Goff, Mr.
     Alberts and Mr. Dean at December 31, 2000 ($825,000, $550,000 & $275,000,
     respectively). The amount of the distribution to any account is based on
     the number of DIUs held by the participant, the amount of dividends paid by
     the Company (with each DIU entitled to an amount equal to the dividend per
     Common Share) and the performance multiples associated with the performance
     targets that are achieved or surpassed. The amount also includes interest
     on the amounts invested in public mutual funds made available to the
     holders by the General Partner. The amounts will be paid to the participant
     on or about the fifth anniversary of the date the DIUs were granted. See
     "-- Report of the Executive Compensation Committee" for a definition of
     DIUs.

(3)  Amounts represent matching contributions that the General Partner made to
     the individual's 401(k) Plan account.

(4)  Amount includes a portion of salary that was paid in January 2000 but
     earned in 1999 and inadvertently omitted in the Company's Proxy Statement
     for its 2000 annual meeting of shareholders.

(5)  Amount includes 200,000 Common Shares, which represents the number of
     Common Shares that may be issued following (i) exercise of options ("Plan
     Unit Options") granted under the 1996 Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
     Partnership Unit Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Unit Plan") for Units on
     a one-for-one basis, and (ii) exchange of partnership units of the
     Operating Partnership ("Units") for Common Shares on the basis of two
     Common Shares for each Unit.

(6)  Amount includes 300,000 Common Shares, which represents the number of
     Common Shares that may be issued following (i) exercise of options (the
     "Unit Options") granted pursuant to an agreement to purchase Units for
     Units on a one-for-one basis, and (ii) exchange of Units for Common Shares
     on the basis of two Common Shares for each Unit.

(7)  Amount includes $45,000 of restricted stock. These Common Shares were
     acquired by the General Partner as part of the Company's on-going share
     repurchase program and granted to Mr. Dean as restricted stock during
     the second quarter of 2000. On March 6, 2002, the restrictions on such
     stock were lifted.

----------

(1)  Potential Realizable Value is the value of the granted Options, based on
     the assumed annual growth rates of the share price shown during their
     10-year Option term. For example, a 5% growth rate, compounded annually,
     for Mr. Alberts' grant results in a share price of $35.58 per share, and a
     10% growth rate, compounded annually, results in a share price of $56.65
     per share. These potential realizable values are listed to comply with the
     regulations of the Commission, and the Company cannot predict whether these
     values will be achieved. Actual gains, if any, on Option exercises are
     dependent on the future performance of the Common Shares.

(2)  Amount includes 400,000 Options that vest in equal one-fifth installments
     on March 4, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

(3)  Amount includes 300,000 Common Shares which represents the number of Common
     Shares that may be issued following (i) exercise of Unit Options for Units
     on a one-for-one basis, and (ii) exchange of Units for Common Shares on the
     basis of two Common Shares for each Unit. Such Unit Options become fully
     vested if and when the average fair market value of a Common Share for the
     10 trading days ending with that date reaches $25.00.

(4)  Options vest in equal one-fifth installments on February 20, 2002, 2003,
     2004, 2005 and 2006.

    The following table provides information about Options that the Named
Executive Officers exercised during the year ended December 31, 2001 and Options
that each of them held at December 31, 2001. The Company did not grant any SARs

     exercise price.

     of Plan Unit Options, (ii) exercise of Plan Unit Options for Units on a
     one-for-one basis, and (iii) exchange of Units for Common Shares on the
     basis of two Common Shares for each Unit.

(3)  The number of securities underlying unexercisable and unexercised options
     includes 642,858 Common Shares that may be issued following (i) vesting of
     Plan Unit Options, (ii) exercise of Plan Unit Options for Units on a
     one-for-one basis, and (iii) exchange of Units for Common Shares on the
     basis of two Common Shares for each Unit.

(4)  The number of securities underlying unexercisable and unexercised options
     includes 300,000 Common Shares that may be issued following (i) vesting of
     Plan Unit Options, (ii) exercise of Unit Options for Units on a one-for-one
     basis, and (iii) exchange of Units for Common Shares on the basis of two
     Common Shares for each Unit (assuming the Company elects to issue Common
     Shares rather than pay cash upon such exchange).

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

    As part of the transactions in connection with formation of the Company, the
Operating Partnership assumed an Employment Agreement between Rainwater, Inc.
and John C. Goff. The Operating Partnership takes action through the General
Partner. Mr. Goff serves as the sole member of the board of directors of the
General Partner. As of January 1, 2002, Mr. Goff served as Vice Chairman of the
Board of Trust Managers of the Company and as Chief Executive Officer of the
Company and the General Partner, and he was entitled to an annual salary of
$750,000. The term of the Employment Agreement with Mr. Goff would have expired
on April 14, 2002, but a new employment agreement, replacing the prior
employment agreement, was entered into effective February 19, 2002. Pursuant to
the new employment agreement, which will terminate on February 19, 2007, Mr.
Goff is entitled to an annual salary of $750,000 and a bonus as determined in
the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the General Partner. In
addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Goff was provided the right
to earn (i) 300,000 restricted Common Shares, one-third of which will be earned
on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of Mr. Goff's employment
agreement and (ii) 1,500,000 Unit Options, one-fifth of which will be earned on
each of the first through fifth anniversaries of Mr. Goff's employment
agreement. The Units underlying such Unit Options are convertible into two
Common Shares of the Company upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

    The salary under the Employment Agreement, which is not subject to a cap,
may be increased at the discretion of the Operating Partnership, although at its
request, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company may review and
ratify all such increases in salary. The Operating Partnership similarly
determines any bonus to be paid under the Employment Agreement, although at its
request, the Executive Compensation Committee may review and ratify all such
bonuses granted to Mr. Goff.

AGREEMENTS NOT TO COMPETE

    The Company and the Operating Partnership are dependent on the services of
Richard E. Rainwater and John C. Goff. Mr. Rainwater serves as Chairman of the
Board of Trust Managers but has no employment agreement with the Company and,
therefore, is not obligated to remain with the Company for any specified term.
In connection with the initial public offering of the Common Shares in May 1994,
each of Messrs. Rainwater and Goff entered into a Noncompetition Agreement with
the Company that restricts him from engaging in certain real estate-related
activities during specified periods of time.

    The restrictions that Mr. Rainwater's Noncompetition Agreement imposes will
terminate one year after the later to occur of (i) the date on which Mr.
Rainwater ceases to serve as a trust manager of the Company, and (ii) the date
on which Mr. Rainwater's beneficial ownership of the Company (including Common
Shares and Units) first represents less than a 2.5% ownership interest in the
Company. The restrictions that Mr. Goff's Noncompetition Agreement imposes will
terminate one year after Mr. Goff first ceases to be a trust manager or an
executive officer of the Company. The Noncompetition Agreements do not, among
other things, prohibit Messrs. Rainwater and Goff from engaging in certain
activities in which they were engaged at the time of formation of the Company in
1994 or from making certain passive real estate investments.

TRUST MANAGER COMPENSATION

    During 2001, each trust manager who is not also an officer of the Company
received an annual fee of $30,000 (payable in cash or, at the election of the
trust manager, in Common Shares in an amount determined by dividing the fees
otherwise payable by 90% of the fair market value of the Common Shares), a
meeting fee of $1,000 for each Board of Trust Managers or committee meeting
attended in person, a fee of $1,000 for participation in each telephonic meeting
of the Board of Trust Managers and a fee of $500 for participation in each
telephonic committee meeting. Trust managers who are also officers receive no
separate compensation for their service as trust managers.

the plans and results of the audit engagement, approves professional services
that the independent public accountants provide, reviews the independence of the
public accountants, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews
the adequacy of the Company's internal accounting controls. The Board of Trust
Managers has determined that all current members of the Audit Committee are
"independent" as that term is defined in Section 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the
New York Stock Exchange's listing standards.

    Executive Compensation Committee. The Executive Compensation Committee
consists of Paul E. Rowsey, III, Chairman, and Anthony M. Frank. The Executive
Compensation Committee, which held two meetings in 2001, determines compensation
for the Company's executive officers and administers the stock incentive and
other compensation plans that the Company adopts. The Executive Compensation
Committee also nominates persons to serve as members of the Board of Trust
Managers. The Executive Compensation Committee will consider nominees that
management, shareholders and others recommend, and these recommendations may be
delivered in writing to the attention of the Executive Compensation Committee in
care of the Company Secretary at the Company's principal executive offices.

     Intercompany Evaluation Committee. The Intercompany Evaluation Committee
consists of William F. Quinn, Chairman, and David M. Sherman. The Board of Trust
Managers appointed the Intercompany Evaluation Committee to review, confirm and
ratify, in the Company's capacity as sole stockholder of the General Partner,
all determinations and acts of the Operating Partnership and the General Partner
relating to the Intercompany Agreement between the Operating Partnership and
Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COPI"), dated June 3, 1997 (the "Intercompany
Agreement"), and any other transactions with COPI or its affiliates that the
General Partner may present to the committee from time to time. The Intercompany
Agreement was terminated on February 14, 2002 pursuant to an agreement between
the Company and COPI. The Intercompany Evaluation Committee continues to serve
its functions with respect to any transactions with COPI or its affiliates that
the General Partner presents to the committee. The Intercompany Evaluation
Committee held four meetings in 2001.

     During the last fiscal year, the Board of Trust Managers held five
meetings, and no trust manager attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all
meetings of the Board of Trust Managers and the committees, if any, upon which
such trust manager served and which were held during the period of time that
such person served on the Board of Trust Managers or such committee.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company's

                 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

         The Executive Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Frank and
Rowsey. A majority of the full Board of Trust Managers select members of the
Executive Compensation Committee.

         Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The Executive Compensation
Committee determines the compensation for the Company's executive officers and
administers the stock incentive and other compensation plans that the Company
adopts. In addition, the Executive Compensation Committee makes recommendations
to the Board of Trust Managers, acting for the Company in its capacity as the
sole stockholder of the General Partner regarding certain compensation decisions
of the sole director of the General Partner with respect to the compensation of
the executive officers of the General Partner. For purposes of the following
discussion, the term "Company" includes, unless the context otherwise requires,
the Operating Partnership and the other subsidiaries of the Company and the
Operating Partnership, in addition to the Company.

         The philosophy of the Company's compensation program is to employ,
retain and reward executives capable of leading the Company in achieving its
business objectives. These objectives include enhancing shareholder value,
maximizing financial performance, preserving a strong financial posture,
increasing the value of the Company's assets and positioning its assets and
business in geographic markets offering long-term growth opportunities. The
accomplishment of these objectives is measured against the conditions
characterizing the industry within which the Company operates. In implementing
the Company's compensation program, it generally is the policy of the Executive
Compensation Committee to seek to qualify executive compensation for
deductibility by the Company for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code to the
extent that such policy is consistent with the Company's overall objectives and
executive compensation policy.

         Executive Officer Compensation. The compensation of the executive
officers of the Company consists of a current component and a long term
incentive. The executive officers, in addition to their regular salaries, may be
compensated for the current performance of the Company in the form of (i) cash
bonus awards, generally pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan ("Bonus Plan"),
and (ii) dividend incentive units under the Dividend Incentive Unit Plan ("DIU
Plan"). The Bonus Plan and the DIU Plan were adopted by the General Partner in
March 2000 in order to provide appropriate incentives and rewards for services
rendered by officers to the Company. The General Partner adopted the plans with
the approval of the Executive Compensation Committee and the Board of Trust
Managers, based on recommendations contained in the October 1999 report of FPL
Associates, the consultant hired by the Company to perform an analysis of
compensation of the executive officers of the Company. The Bonus Plan and the
DIU Plan, together with recommendations by the management of the Company, were
used by the General Partner and its Compensation Committee in determining the
executive compensation for 2001 and will be used in determining the future
current component of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee of the
General Partner (the "Committee") is also composed of Messrs. Frank and Rowsey
and is appointed by the Board of Directors of the General Partner.

         Under the Bonus Plan, at the beginning of the year, the Committee
designated (i) the positions covered by the Bonus Plan, (ii) the minimum and
maximum annual incentive opportunity or bonus that the individual holding each
position is eligible to earn for the year, and (iii) the performance necessary
to earn each level of bonus in three components. One of these components, the
Corporate component, provides for a certain portion of the bonus to be paid
based upon the Company's achievement of the thresholds relating to total return
to shareholders and FFO for the year. FFO, based on the revised definition
adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, effective January 1, 2000, and as
used in this document, means net income (loss) (determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) (i) excluding gains (or losses) from
sales of depreciable operating property, (ii) excluding extraordinary items (as
defined by GAAP), (iii) plus depreciation and amortization of real estate
assets, and (iv) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Most positions also are assigned a second component, the Functional
Unit component, which provides for a certain portion of the bonus to be earned
upon the achievement of individualized measures of functional unit performance.
For each officer, a third component, the Individual component, provides for a
certain portion of the officer's bonus to be earned based upon an evaluation of
the officer's individual performance for the year.

         Under the DIU Plan, prior to the beginning of the year, the Committee
designates each employee eligible to receive dividend incentive units and the
number of Units allocated to the employee. In addition, the Committee adopts
performance targets for the Company for the year based upon total return to
shareholders and FFO for the year, as well as a performance multiple for each
target. Pursuant to the DIU Plan, the Committee is required to determine the
extent to which those targets were achieved or surpassed and, in the event that
targets are achieved, the amount to be credited to the account of each
participant who was employed by the Company on the last day of the year; this
amount is equal to the annual dividends that the participant would have received
if he held one share of stock in the Company for each Unit held in his account,
multiplied by the number of Units the participant held throughout the year,
multiplied by the performance multiple associated with the targets achieved for
the year.

         Executive officers of the General Partner are also eligible to
participate, on the same basis as other employees, in the employer matching
provision of the profit sharing plan that the General Partner established,
whereby employees may save for their future retirement on a tax-deferred basis
through the Section 401(k) savings feature of the plan, with the General Partner
contributing an additional percentage of the amount each employee saves. Such
executive officers are also eligible to participate in the other employee
benefit and welfare plans that the General Partner maintains on the same terms
as non-executive personnel who meet applicable eligibility criteria, subject to
any legal limitations on the amounts that may be contributed or the benefits
that may be payable under such plans.

         The long term incentives awarded by the Company consist of (i)
restricted stock grants, either under the 1995 Plan or as a result of open
market purchases by the General Partner, and (ii) Options under the 1995 Plan
and the 1996 Operating Partnership Incentive Plan and pursuant to the provisions
of the partnership agreement for the Operating Partnership.

         Compensation Awards for 2001. The performance thresholds established by
the Committee for 2001 under the Bonus Plan, together with the performance of
the Company and the Operating Partnership in light of conditions characterizing
the REIT industry generally, were a key consideration in the deliberations of
the Committee regarding the salary increases and bonuses awarded in 2001. While
the Committee determined that the FFO and total return to shareholders targets
established under the Bonus Plan for 2001 with respect to the Corporate
component had not been met, it also considered other factors, including industry
business conditions, the economic slowdown which began at mid-year and
accelerated following the tragic events of September 11th, and the Company's
success in achieving short-term and long-term goals and objectives, such as the
completion of the repositioning of the Company called for under the 1999
strategic plan, the performance of the office portfolio, the completion of $970
million of debt refinancing, and the acquisition of the hotel/resort and
residential development investments operated by Crescent Operating, Inc. The
Committee also considered the General Partner's determinations regarding each
officer's achievement of the Functional Unit goals set for the office as well as
each officer's Individual performance for the year. Bonuses aggregating
$1,621,000 were paid to executive officers other than the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, who does not participate in the Bonus Plan. The
Committee also gave consideration to the Company's achievement of specified
business objectives when reviewing 2002 executive officer salary increases.

         Based on the Company's performance for 2001, the Committee determined
that none of the 2001 targets under the DIU Plan had been achieved, and thus,
that no payments would be made to plan participants with respect to 2001 under
the DIU Plan.

         Long Term Incentives. Options were used in 2001 to incentivize certain
officers and other key personnel and to retain them through the potential of
capital gains and equity buildup in the Company. The Executive Compensation
Committee determined the number of Options based upon its subjective evaluation
of each executive or employee's ability to influence the Company's long-term
growth and profitability. All Options were issued at a price not less than the
market price of the Common Shares on the date of grant.

         With respect to the management team (other than the Chief Executive
Officer), on February 18, 2002, the General Partner, with the approval of the
Committee, provided certain rights to earn Options as part of an overall long
term compensation package (in addition to current salary, bonus and DIU awards)
to more closely align the actions of management with shareholder considerations
and further instill shareholder values in management's actions. On that date,
the General Partner granted to the senior management team (other than the CEO)
the right to earn options on 1,250,000 Units in the Operating Partnership over a
five-year term bearing a strike price equal to the New York Stock Exchange
closing price on February 19, 2002 (each Unit being convertible into two Common
Shares of the Company upon the satisfaction of certain conditions). The Company,
the Executive Compensation Committee and the Committee do not intend at this
time to provide to the management team any additional rights to earn Options for
the next two to three years.

         CEO Base Salary and Bonus for 2001. Mr. Goff serves as the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trust
Managers for the Company. Mr. Goff's 2001 base annual salary was $750,000 and
was based upon his employment agreement with the Operating Partnership
originally entered into in April 1994. The Committee also approved a bonus of
$750,000 for Mr. Goff with respect to 2001 based upon the Committees evaluation
of a number of factors, including industry business conditions, the economic
slowdown which began at mid-year and accelerated following the tragic events of
September 11th, and the Company's success in achieving short-term and long-term
goals and objectives, such as the realignment and strengthening of the Company's
management team, the completion of the repositioning of the Company called for
under the 1999 strategic plan, the continuing success of the share repurchase
program, the performance of the office portfolio, the completion of $970 million
of debt refinancing, and the acquisition of the hotel/resort and residential
development investments operated by Crescent Operating, Inc.

         Long Term Incentive and New Contract for Chief Executive Officer. On
February 18, 2002, Mr. Goff and the Committee agreed to the terms of a new
five-year employment contract providing for a long term compensation package
including an annual salary of $750,000 and DIU awards and annual bonus to be
determined by the Committee and the Board of Trust Managers of the Company. Also
on February 18, 2002 and as part of the overall long term compensation package
outlined in the new employment agreement, (i) the General Partner, with the
approval of the Committee, provided to Mr. Goff, the right to earn options on
1,500,000 Units in the Operating Partnership over a five-year term bearing a
strike price equal to the New York Stock Exchange closing price on February 19,
2002 (each Unit being convertible into two Common Shares of the Company upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions) and (ii) the Executive Compensation
Committee provided to Mr. Goff the right to earn 300,000 shares of restricted
stock in the Company, one-third of which shall be earned on each of the third,
fourth and fifth anniversary of such date. The Executive Compensation Committee
and the Committee made their determinations based upon their subjective
evaluation of Mr.Goff's ability in the future to lead the Company's long-term
growth and profitability. The Executive Compensation Committee and the Committee
also considered the long term compensation packages provided to the chief
executive officers of other real estate companies that the Committee considered
to be comparable to the Company. The Committee and the Executive Compensation
Committee believe that the Unit Options and restricted stock represent an
effective incentive for Mr. Goff to remain with the Company and create value for
the shareholders. The Board of Trust Managers has considered and ratified each
of the foregoing determinations relating to Mr. Goff's 2001 and long term
compensation package.

          attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities held

          Subsidiaries. All information presented above relating to Franklin is
          based solely on the Franklin Schedule 13G/A.

at the end of the quarter preceding the quarter in which the loan was made, plus
50 basis points. Effective as of November 1, 2001, each loan was amended to bear
interest over the remainder of its term at 2.7% per annum, the applicable


                                       15

Federal rate for loans with remaining terms of three years or less, and each
holder whose loan had a remaining term of more than three years exercised the
holder's option to reduce the remaining term of each such loan to reduce the
remaining term of the loan to three years. As of December 31, 2001, no accrued
interest was outstanding and unpaid on any of these loans.


Loans and Contributions to DBL Holdings, Inc. ("DBL")

         As of April 15, 2002, the Company owned 97.44% of DBL, with the
remaining 2.56% economic interest in DBL (including 100% of the voting interest
in DBL) held by John Goff. Originally, Mr. Goff contributed his voting interests
in Houston Area Development Corp. ("HADC") and Mira Vista Development Corp.
("MVDC"), two of the Company's residential development corporations, for his
interest in DBL.

         DBL has two wholly owned subsidiaries, DBL-ABC, Inc. and DBL-CBO, Inc.,
the assets of which are described in the following paragraphs, and DBL directly
holds 66% of the voting stock, representing a 4% economic interest, in MVDC and
HADC.


         Since June 1999, the Company has contributed approximately $23.8
million to DBL in the form of cash and loans. These funds were used by DBL to
make an equity contribution to DBL-ABC, which committed to purchase a limited
partnership interest representing a 12.5% interest in G2 Opportunity Fund, LP
("G2"). G2 was formed for the purpose of investing in commercial mortgage backed
securities and other commercial real estate investments and is managed and
controlled by an entity (the "G2 General Partner") that is owned equally by
Goff-Moore Strategic Partners, L.P. ("GMSP") and GMAC Commercial Mortgage
Corporation. The G2 General Partner is entitled to an annual asset management
fee. Additionally, the G2 General Partner has a 1% interest in profits and
losses of G2 and, after payment of specified amounts to partners, a 50% interest
in G2. The ownership structure of the entity that ultimately controls GMSP
consists of 50% ownership by Darla Moore, who is married to Richard Rainwater,
Chairman of the Board of Trust Managers of the Company, and 50% by John Goff,
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In addition, Mr. Rainwater is a limited
partner of GMSP. At April 15, 2002, DBL had an approximately $14.1 million
investment in G2 and had repaid in full the loans from the Company.


         On March 31, 1999, DBL-CBO acquired a $5.97 million aggregate principal
amount of Class C-1 Notes issued by Juniper CBO 1999-1 Ltd., a Cayman Islands
limited liability company (the "Juniper Notes"). DBL-CBO obtained the funds to
purchase the Juniper Notes by selling all of the equity interest in DBL-CBO (the
"Equity Interest") to DBL for $6.0 million. DBL, in turn, obtained the purchase
price for the Equity Interest pursuant to a $6.0 million loan agreement and
related term note from the Company that was secured by the Equity Interest. The
loan accrued interest at the rate of 12% per annum and was paid in full in March
2001.

Loans to Residential Development Corporations

         HADC AND MVDC. As of March 31, 2002, the Company owned 94% of the
outstanding stock (all of which is nonvoting) of HADC and MVDC. Mr. Goff is a
director of both HADC


                                       16
<PAGE>


and MVDC. In addition, DBL, in which Messrs. Rainwater and Goff are investors,
owned 4% of HADC and MVDC as of March 31, 2002.


         Loans to HADC and MVDC. On May 5, 1994, the Company made a loan to each
of HADC and MVDC, with each loan in the original principal amount of $14.4
million and bearing interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum. Originally, each of
these loans was scheduled to mature in May 2001. The HADC loan was amended
January 16, 1997 to extend the maturity date to May 5, 2006. MVDC has repaid its
loan in full.

         On January 16, 1997, the Company entered into a revolving development
loan agreement with HADC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan up to an
additional $5.0 million to HADC at an interest rate of 14% per annum. As of
December 31, 2001, this revolving loan was amended to reduce the principal
amount to $2.5 million and to reduce the interest rate to 12% per annum. The
maturity date of the revolving loan is December 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2002,
$250,063 was outstanding under this loan.

         The aggregate outstanding balance of the loans to HADC as of March
31, 2002 was $11.9 million.


         CRESCENT RESORT DEVELOPMENT, INC. ("CRD"). The Company owns 90% of the
outstanding stock (all of which is non-voting) of CRD, a Delaware corporation,
and COPI Colorado owns 10% of the outstanding stock (all of which is voting
stock) of CRD. On February 14, 2002, the Company acquired the 60% general
partner interest in COPI Colorado previously owned by COPI. As of December 31,
2001, the following credit facilities that the Company extended to CRD were
outstanding: (i) a $56.2 million line of credit that matures in August 2004 and
bears interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum, (ii) a $40 million line of credit
that matures in December 2006 and bears interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum
and (iii) a $72 million line of credit. The aggregate outstanding balance of
these facilities as of December 31, 2001 was $181 million, and they are
cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with CRD's interests in the real estate
development companies and resort management company in which the loan proceeds
have been invested.

         As of December 31, 2001, the Company had guaranteed approximately $1.3
million of mortgage loan indebtedness of a general partnership in which CRD's
wholly owned subsidiary holds a non-managing minority interest.

Transactions with COPI


         MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. In April 1997, the
Company established COPI to be the lessee and operator of certain assets to be
acquired by the Company and to perform the Intercompany Agreement, pursuant to
which each party agreed to provide the other with rights to participate in
certain transactions. The Company was not permitted to operate or lease these
assets under then-existing federal income tax laws applicable to REITs.


         Messrs. Rainwater and Goff are, respectively, the Chairman of the Board
and the Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company and, until February 14, 2002,
were also, respectively, the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the
Board of COPI. In addition, Mr. Goff serves as the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company and the General Partner and as the sole


                                       17
<PAGE>


director of the General Partner and, until February 14, 2002, also served as
Chief Executive Officer of COPI. Messrs. Frank and Rowsey are members of the
Board of the Company and, until their resignations on February 14, 2002, were
members of the board of directors of COPI. As of March 31, 2002, Messrs.
Rainwater and Goff beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 18.4% of the
outstanding common stock of COPI through their aggregate ownership of 2,111,835
shares of COPI common stock, including shares underlying vested options. In
addition, Mr. Goff directly owns shares of the common stock of COPI through his
ownership interest in COPI Colorado, L.P. ("COPI Colorado"), as described below.

         LOANS TO COPI AND COPI COLORADO.

                  COPI. In connection with the formation and capitalization of
COPI, the Company contributed $14.1 million to COPI and loaned approximately
$35.9 million to COPI pursuant to a five-year loan (the "COPI Term Loan"), which
bears interest at 12% per annum, is collateralized by a lien on certain assets
that COPI now owns or may acquire in the future and matures in May 2002. Also in
connection with COPI's formation, the Company established a $20.4 million line
of credit (the "Line of Credit"), which bears interest at 12% per annum. The
Line of Credit is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the COPI Term
Loan and matures no later than June 2007. In March 1999, the Company loaned
approximately $19.5 million to COPI pursuant to a three-year loan, which bears
interest at 9% per annum and is collateralized by certain assets that COPI owned
at the time the loan was made, now owns or may acquire in the future ("1999 COPI
Term Loan"). As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding principal balance on the
COPI Term Loan was approximately $16.2 million, plus accrued interest of
approximately $1.6 million. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding principal
balance on the Line of Credit was $20.2 million, plus accrued interest of
approximately $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding principal
balance on the 1999 COPI Term Loan was $22.0 million, plus accrued interest of
$1.6 million.

                  COPI Colorado. As of December 31, 2001, the Company owned
approximately 90% of the outstanding stock (all of which is non-voting) of CRD.
The voting stock of CRD is owned by COPI Colorado, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("COPI Colorado") in which, as of December 31, 2001, COPI owned a
60% general partner interest, and Mr. Goff owned a 20% limited partner interest.
As of December 31, 2001, COPI Colorado also owned 1,102,530 shares of COPI's
common stock. COPI funded its acquisition of the general partner interest with
proceeds of a $9.0 million loan from the Company (the "COPI Colorado Note").
This note bears interest at 12% per annum, with interest payable quarterly, and
matures in May 2002. The note is secured by COPI's general partner interest in
COPI Colorado and is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with COPI's other
borrowings from the Company. As of December 31, 2001, the note had an
outstanding principal balance of $10.6 million (due to the addition of accrued
interest to the original principal balance), plus accrued interest of $1.1
million.

                  Defaults under COPI and COPI Colorado Loans. As of February
12, 2001, the Company notified COPI that $76.2 million of principal and accrued
interest due under the COPI Term Loan, the Line of Credit, the 1999 COPI Term
Loan and the COPI Colorado Note was past due. See "-- Reorganization
Transactions" below for a description of the transfers of specified COPI assets
to the Company and the resulting reduction in amounts due under these loans.

         LOANS TO OTHER AFFILIATES OF COPI.

                  CR License and CRL Investments. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company had a 28.5% interest in CR License, LLC, the entity which owns the right
to the future use of the "Canyon Ranch" name. The Company also had a 95%
economic interest, representing all of the non-voting common stock, in CRL
Investments, Inc., which has an approximately 65% economic interest in the
Canyon Ranch Spa Club in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

                  The Company has provided CRL with a $7.0 million credit
facility which bears interest at 12% per annum and matures in August 2003. As of
December 31, 2001, the total amount outstanding under the credit facility was
$7.16 million. The Company also committed to invest $8.0 million in equity in
CRL. As of April 1, 2001, the Company had made equity contributions aggregating
$7.16 million to CRL.

                  CR Notes and Sonoma Note. In connection with the acquisition
by COPI, effective July 31, 1997, of the companies that leased certain
Company-owned hotel properties, COPI acquired 100% of an entity that had
outstanding debt under notes in the original principal amounts of approximately
$2.4 million and $650,000 (collectively, the "CR Notes") payable to the Company
in connection with the acquisition of Canyon Ranch-Tucson. The CR Notes bear
interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum, are secured by deeds of trust for
certain real and personal property and mature in August 2003. The aggregate
outstanding balance at December 31, 2001 on the CR Notes was approximately
$951,000. In addition, COPI acquired 100% of an entity that had outstanding debt
under a promissory note of approximately $190,964 (the "Sonoma Note") payable to
the Company in connection with the acquisition of Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. The
Sonoma Note bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and matures in November
2006. The outstanding balance of the Sonoma Note at December 31, 2001 was
approximately $190,964.

         LEASES OF HOTEL AND RESORT PROPERTIES TO COPI SUBSIDIARIES. As of
December 31, 2001, the Company owned nine hotel and resort properties
(collectively, the "Hotel Properties"), eight of which the Company leased to
subsidiaries of COPI (the "Hotel Lessees") pursuant to eight separate leases
(the "Hotel Leases"). Under the Hotel Leases, each having an initial term of 10
years, the Hotel Lessees assumed the rights and obligations of the property
owner under any related management agreement with the hotel operators, as well
as the obligation to pay all property taxes and other costs related to the
property. Each of the Hotel Leases provides for the respective Hotel Lessee to
pay (i) base rent, with periodic rent increases, if applicable, (ii) percentage
rent based on a percentage of gross hotel receipts or gross room revenues, as
applicable, above a specified amount; and (iii) a percentage of gross food and
beverage revenues above a specified amount.

         COPI executed a master guaranty and other guaranties pursuant to which
COPI unconditionally guarantees payment and performance under the Hotel Leases
by the Hotel Lessee solely from COPI's hotel and resort-related assets and
income streams.

         During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company received
approximately $19.1 million in cash rent payments under the Hotel Leases.
Between January 1, 2002 and February 14, 2002, the Company received
approximately $6.0 million in rent under the Hotel Leases. On February 14, 2002,
COPI transferred to the


                                       19
<PAGE>


Company, in lieu of foreclosure, all of COPI's assets associated with the Hotel
Properties, including the lessee interests in the Hotel Leases, in consideration
of the Company's agreement to cancel $23.6 million of rent due under the Hotel
Leases.

         LEASE OF TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED LOGISTICS PROPERTIES. As of March 31,
2002, the Company held a 40% interest in a general partnership (the
"Temperature-Controlled Logistics Partnership"), which, through its ownership of
a corporation owns 89 temperature-controlled logistics properties (the
"Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties"). The business operations
associated with the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties are owned by
AmeriCold Logistics, LLC ("AmeriCold Logistics"), which is owned 60% by Vornado
Operating, L.P. and 40% by a subsidiary of COPI. The Company has no interest in
AmeriCold Logistics.

         AmeriCold Logistics, as sole lessee of the Temperature-Controlled
Logistics Properties, leases the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties
from the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Corporation under three triple-net
master leases, as amended on January 23, 2002. On February 22, 2001, the
Temperature-Controlled Logistics Corporation and AmeriCold Logistics agreed to
restructure certain financial terms of the leases, including the adjustment of
the rental obligation for 2001 to $146 million, the adjustment of the rental
obligation for 2002 to $150 million (plus contingent rent in certain
circumstances), the increase of the Temperature-Controlled Logistics
Corporation's share of capital expenditures for the maintenance of the
properties from $5.0 million to $9.5 million (effective January 1, 2000) and the
extension of the date on which deferred rent was required to be paid to December
31, 2003.

         As of December 31, 2001, the Company had loaned AmeriCold Logistics an
aggregate of approximately $12 million pursuant to three separate loans that
bear interest at rates ranging from 12% to 14% per annum. The loans, which
originally were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2002, have been extended and
are now scheduled to mature on December 31, 2004.

         AmeriCold Logistics deferred $25.5 million of rent for the year ended
December 31, 2001, of which the Company's share was $10.2 million. In December
2001, the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Corporation waived its right to
collect $39.8 million of the total $49.9 million of deferred rent, of which the
Company's share was $15.9 million.

         RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONS. As of December 31, 2001, the
Company owned 95% of the outstanding stock (all of which is non-voting) of two
residential development corporations, Desert Mountain Development Corporation
("DMDC") and The Woodlands Land Company, Inc. ("TWLC"), and COPI owned 5% of the
outstanding stock (all of which is voting) of these corporations. As of December
31, 2001, the Company owned approximately 90% of a third residential development
corporation, CRD (representing all of the non-voting stock) and COPI Colorado
owned the remaining 10% (representing all of the voting stock).

         REORGANIZATION TRANSACTIONS. On January 1, 2001, the provisions of a
new federal law relating to REITs (the "REIT Modernization Act") became
effective. This legislation allows the Company, through our subsidiaries, to
operate or lease certain of our investments that had been previously operated or
leased by COPI.


                                       20
<PAGE>


         On June 28, 2001, the Company and COPI entered into an asset and stock
purchase agreement in which the Company agreed to pay to COPI approximately
$78.4 million, payable in cancellation of certain debt and rent obligation and
cash, in exchange for (i) all of the assets related to COPI's hospitality
business, including lessee interests in the eight Hotel Properties leased to
subsidiaries of COPI, (ii) all of the voting equity owned by COPI and its
subsidiaries in three residential development corporations (CRD, DMDC and TWLC)
and (iii) all of the membership interests of CR License LLC owned by COPI. In
connection with that agreement, the Company agreed that it would not charge
interest on the loans to COPI from May 1, 2001 and that it would allow COPI to
defer all principal and interest payments due under the loans until December 31,
2001.

         Also on June 28, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to make a
$10.0 million investment in Crescent Machinery Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of COPI ("Crescent Machinery"). This investment, together with $19.0
million of capital from a third-party investment firm, was expected to put
Crescent Machinery on solid financial footing.

         In October 2001, management of COPI, the Company and the third-party
investor amended the terms of the original securities purchase agreement to
reflect changes in the market price of the COPI common stock since the date of
the original agreements.

         The Company stopped recording rent from the leases of the Hotel
Properties on October 1, 2001, and recorded impairment and other adjustments
related to COPI in the fourth quarter of 2001, based on the estimated fair value
of the underlying collateral.

         On January 22, 2002, the Company terminated the purchase agreement
pursuant to which the Company would have acquired the lessee interests in the
eight Hotel Properties leased to subsidiaries of COPI, the voting interests held
by subsidiaries of COPI in three of the residential development corporations in
which the Company also owns interests, and other assets.

         On February 4, 2002, the Company terminated the agreement relating to
its planned investment in Crescent Machinery. On February 6, 2002, Crescent
Machinery Company filed for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.

         On February 12, 2002, the Company delivered default notices to COPI
relating to approximately $49.0 million of unpaid rent and approximately $76.2
million of principal and accrued interest due to the Company under the COPI Term
Loan, the Line of Credit, the 1999 COPI Term Loan and the COPI Colorado Note.

         On February 14, 2002, the Company executed an agreement (the
"Agreement") with COPI, pursuant to which (i) COPI transferred to subsidiaries
of the Company, in lieu of foreclosure, COPI's lessee interests in the eight
Hotel Properties leased to subsidiaries of COPI and the voting interests in
three of the Company's residential development corporations and other assets and
(ii) the Company agreed to assist and provide funding to COPI for the
implementation of a prepackaged bankruptcy of COPI. As a result of the transfer,
the Company reduced COPI's rent obligations by $23.6 million, and its debt
obligations by $40.1 million.

         As part of the February 14 transactions, the Company acquired COPI's
general partner interest in COPI Colorado through a strict foreclosure.
Immediately prior to the Company's


                                       21
<PAGE>


acquisition of the interest, COPI Colorado distributed to its partners, pro rata
in accordance with their relative percentage interests in COPI Colorado, the
1,102,530 shares of COPI common stock that it owned. The shares distributed to
COPI were canceled.

         In addition, the Company acquired, in a strict foreclosure on February
14, 2002, COPI's 1.5% interest in CR License, LLC and 5.0% interest,
representing all of the voting stock, in CRL Investments, Inc.

         Under the Agreement, the Company will provide approximately $14.0
million to COPI in the form of cash and Common Shares of the Company to fund
costs, claims and expenses relating to the bankruptcy and related transactions,
and to provide for the distribution of the Company's Common Shares to the COPI
stockholders. The Company estimates that the value of the Common Shares that
will be issued to the COPI stockholders will be between approximately $5.0
million and $8.0 million. The Agreement provides that COPI and the Company will
seek to have a plan of reorganization for COPI, reflecting the terms of the
Agreement and a draft plan of reorganization, approved by the bankruptcy court.
The actual value of the Common Shares issued to the COPI stockholders will not
be determined until the confirmation of COPI's bankruptcy plan and could vary
substantially from the estimated amount. If the COPI bankruptcy plan is approved
by the required vote of the shares of COPI common stock, the stockholders of
COPI will receive Common Shares of the Company. As stockholders of COPI, Mr.
Rainwater and Mr. Goff will also receive Common Shares of the Company.

         In addition, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable
efforts to assist COPI in arranging COPI's repayment of its $15.0 million
obligation to Bank of America, together with any accrued interest. COPI obtained
the loan primarily to participate in investments with the Company. At the time
COPI obtained the loan, Bank of America required, as a condition to making the
loan, that Richard E. Rainwater, the Chairman of the Board, and John C. Goff,
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, enter into a support agreement with
COPI and Bank of America, pursuant to which they agreed to make additional
equity investments in COPI if COPI defaulted on payment obligations under its
line of credit with Bank of America and the net proceeds of an offering of COPI
securities were insufficient to allow COPI to pay Bank of America in full. The
Company believes, based on advice of counsel, that the support agreement should
be unenforceable in a COPI bankruptcy. Effective December 31, 2001, the parties
executed an amendment to the line of credit providing that any defaults existing
under the line of credit on or before March 8, 2002 are temporarily cured unless
and until a new default shall occur.

         The Company holds a first lien security interest in COPI's entire
membership interest in AmeriCold Logistics. REIT rules prohibit the Company from
acquiring or owning the membership interest that COPI owns in AmeriCold
Logistics. Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to allow COPI to grant Bank
of America a first priority security interest in the membership interest and to
subordinate its own security interest to Bank of America. In addition, the
Company has agreed to form and capitalize a separate entity to be owned by the
Company's shareholders, and to cause the new entity to commit to acquire COPI's
entire membership interest in the tenant, for approximately $15.5 million. Under
the Agreement, COPI has agreed that it will use the proceeds of the sale of the
membership interest to repay Bank of America in full.

         Pursuant to the COPI bankruptcy plan, the current and former directors
and officers of COPI and the current and former trust managers and officers of
the Company also have received a release from COPI of liability for any actions
taken prior to February 14, 2001, and, depending on various factors, will
receive certain liability releases from COPI and its stockholders.

Management Participation in Operating Partnership Debt Offering


         On April 15, 2002, the Operating Partnership completed a private
offering of $375.0 million in senior, unsecured notes due 2009. The notes bear
interest at an annual rate of 9.25% and were issued at 100% of issue price. The
notes are callable after April 15, 2006. Richard Rainwater, Chairman of the
Board of Trust Managers, and certain of his immediate family members and
affiliates, purchased $50 million of these notes on the same terms as
unaffiliated third party investors. The Operating Partnership has agreed to
register a similar series of notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and to effect an exchange offer of the registered notes for the privately placed
notes and, in the case of Mr. Rainwater and his family and affiliates, to
register the notes for resale by them.


                                -----------------

         Management believes that the foregoing transactions are on terms no
less favorable than those that could have been obtained in comparable
transactions with unaffiliated parties.
