     otherwise adjust or settle any and all other claims or demands of or

     contingent liabilities; and

          (xiii)    to make, execute, acknowledge and file any and all documents
     or instruments necessary, convenient or incidental to the accomplishment of
     the purpose of the Company.

Agreement, (i) the Company may, upon the direction of the Board, enter into
and perform any and all documents, agreements and instruments contemplated
thereby, all without any further act, vote or approval of any Member, and
(ii) the Board may authorize any Person (including any Member or Officer) to

jurisdictions in which the Company may conduct business.

          SECTION 2.10   NO STATE-LAW PARTNERSHIP.  The Members intend that
the Company shall not be a partnership (including a general or limited
partnership) or joint venture, and that no Member shall be a partner or joint
venturer of any other Member by virtue of this Agreement, for any purposes
other than federal and, if applicable, state tax purposes, and neither this
Agreement nor any other document entered into the Company or any Member shall
be construed to suggest otherwise.  The Members intend that the Company shall
be treated as a partnership for federal and, if applicable, state income tax

          SECTION 3.1    COMPANY INVESTMENTS.  During the Commitment Period,
CRS shall endeavor to identify and cause the Company to acquire properties
generally conforming with the Investment Criteria identified from time to
time by CRS for possible acquisition by the Company ("PROPOSED INVESTMENTS").
 With respect to each Proposed Investment, the Company shall deliver to the
Board a report which shall contain the information set forth in Schedule
3.1(a) attached hereto (an "INVESTMENT REPORT").  The Board shall have ten
(10) Business Days from the date of the delivery of the Investment Report
within which to approve or disapprove the commencement of due diligence for
the possible acquisition of the Proposed Investment by the Company.  In the
event that the Board does not take any action within such ten (10) Business
Day period, the Board shall be deemed to have disapproved the Proposed
Investment.  Upon the Approval of the Board in accordance with this Section
3.1, the Company shall perform or cause to be performed the due diligence
procedures set forth on Schedule 3.1(b) (the "DUE DILIGENCE PROCEDURES").
Upon completion of the Due Diligence Procedures, the Company shall report the
results of the due diligence review to the Board for its Approval.  The Board
shall thereafter have two (2) Business Days to review the results of the due

                                      -15

<PAGE>

diligence review, and, if the information regarding such Proposed
Investment obtained through the Due Diligence Procedures is acceptable to the
Board, the Board shall authorize and direct the Officers to complete the
acquisition of such Proposed Investment.  If the Board shall fail to Approve
a Proposed Investment within two (2) Business Days after receiving the
results of the due diligence review, then such Proposed Investment shall be
deemed disapproved.  In the event the Board disapproves the Proposed
Investment, then the Member or its Affiliates whose Board members voted to
approve such Proposed Investment shall be permitted to acquire such Proposed
Investment on terms not materially more favorable than those offered to the
Company.

          SECTION 3.2    MEMBERS.

          (A)  NAMES, ETC.  The names, residence, business or mailing
addresses, Member Commitments and Capital Contributions of each Member are

lend any funds to the Company or to make any contribution of capital to the
Company, except as otherwise required by applicable law, this Agreement, such
Member's Subscription Agreement, or any other written agreement between such
Member and the Company explicitly requiring the making of capital
contributions.  Any Member may, with the approval of the Board, make loans to
the Company, and any loan by a Member to the Company shall not be considered
to be a Capital Contribution.  Such loans shall be on such terms as shall be
specified and agreed to by the Board.

          (C)  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MEMBERS.  Each Member hereby
represents and warrants to the Company and acknowledges that:

          (i)  such Member has knowledge and experience in financial and
     business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
     investment in the Company and making an informed investment decision with
     respect thereto;

          (ii) such Member has reviewed and evaluated all information necessary
     to assess the merits and risks of his, her or its investment in the Company
     and has had answered to its satisfaction any and all questions regarding

     investment only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with,
     any distribution to the public or public offering thereof;

                                     -16-

<PAGE>

          (v)  the Membership Interests in the Company have not been registered
     under the securities laws of any jurisdiction and cannot be disposed of
     unless they are subsequently registered and/or qualified under applicable
     securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement have been complied
     with;

          (vi) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have
     been duly authorized by such Member and do not require such Member to
     obtain any consent or approval that has not been obtained and do not
     contravene or result in a default under any provision of any law or
     regulation applicable to such Member or other governing documents or any
     agreement or instrument to which such Member is a party or by which such
     Member is bound, and the Person executing this Agreement on behalf of such
     Member has been duly authorized to do so;

         (vii) the determination of such Member to invest in the Company
     has been made by such Member independent of any other Member and
     independent of any statements or opinions as to the advisability of such

     (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries which may have
     been made or given by any other Member or by any Affiliate or agent of any
     other Member;

         (viii) this Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against
     such Member in accordance with its terms;

          (ix)  if a Member is a partnership, limited liability company or other
     entity classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or a
     grantor trust (within the meaning of Sections 671-679 of the Code) or an S
     corporation (within the meaning of Section 1361 of the Code) (each, a "FLOW
     THROUGH ENTITY"), that either: (a) no Person will own, directly or
     indirectly through one or more flow-through entities, an interest in such
     Member where more than seventy percent (70%) of the value of the Person's
     interest in such Member is attributable to such Member's investment in the
     Company; or (b) if one or more Persons will own, directly or indirectly
     through one or more Flow-Through Entities, an interest in such Member where
     more than seventy percent (70%) of the value of the Person's interest in
     such Member is attributable to the Member's investment in the Company,
     neither the Member nor any such Person has or will have any intent or
     purpose of having such Person invest in the Company indirectly through
     Member in order to enable the Company to satisfy the 100-Member limitation
     in Treas. Reg. Section 1.7704-1(h) (the private placement safe harbor from
     publicly traded status);

          (x)  unless such Member has notified the Board to the contrary, that
     such Member:  (a) is a United States Person within the meaning of Section
     7701 of the Code (I.E., is not any of the following (as defined in the
     Code): a nonresident alien individual, foreign partnership, foreign
     corporation, foreign estate, foreign trust, other foreign entity or
     organization, or grantor trust having a foreign person as an owner):
     (b) shall notify the Company within sixty

                                     -17-

<PAGE>

     (60) days of the date such Member ceases to be a United States Person; and
     (c) may be asked to recertify its non-foreign status at periodic intervals
     (and that this information may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue
     Service);

          (xi) if such Member will beneficially own ten percent (10%) or more of
     the Membership Interests in the Company, the Member is not an "investment
     company" as defined in the Investment Company Act nor is the Member itself
     relying on Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act
     as an exemption from classification as an "investment company;" and

          (xii)     such Member is not holding and, for the term of the Company,
     will not hold "plan assets," as that term is defined in the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the rules
     and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the
     Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101 (the "PLAN ASSET
     REGULATIONS"), and, consequently, the administration and management of the
     Company and the investment of the Company's assets are not, and will not
     be, subject to the fiduciary duty requirements of ERISA.

          SECTION 3.3    NO LIABILITY OF MEMBERS.

          (A)  NO LIABILITY.  Except as otherwise required by applicable law,
no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever in such Member's
capacity as a Member, whether to the Company, to any of the other Members, to
the creditors of the Company or to any other third party, for the debts,
liabilities, commitments or any other obligations of the Company or for any
losses of the Company.  Each Member shall be liable only to make such
Member's Capital Contributions to the Company pursuant to its Member
Commitment and Subscription Agreement and the other payments provided
expressly herein.

          (B)  DISTRIBUTIONS.  In accordance with the Act and the laws of the
State of Delaware, a member of a limited liability company may, under certain
circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such
member.  It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member
pursuant to ARTICLE V hereof shall be deemed a return of money or other
property paid or distributed in violation of the Act.  The payment of any
such money or distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed
to be a compromise within the meaning of the Act, and the Member receiving
any such money or property shall not be required to return to any Person any
such money or property.  However, if any court of competent jurisdiction
holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is
obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation
of such Member and not of any other Member.

          SECTION 3.4    CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

          (A)  Each Member, by execution of this Agreement and the agreement
of even date herewith between such Member and the Company pursuant to which
such Member agreed to acquire its Membership Interest in the Company (a
"SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT"), agrees to make Capital Contributions up to the
amount of its Member Commitment in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

          (B)  The Company may through its Officers call Capital
Contributions by the Members from time-to-time (each a "CAPITAL CALL") in
accordance with a Draw Report (as defined below).  With respect to each such
Capital Call, the Members shall make Capital Contributions to the Company
equal to the aggregate amount of such Capital Call pro rata based upon their
relative Member Commitments.  With respect to each Capital Call, the Officers
shall deliver to the Members along with written notice of such Capital Call a
detailed description of the use of the proceeds thereof and the particular
items being funded thereby in substantially the form of EXHIBIT 1  (a "DRAW
REPORT"), which the Officers shall deliver to the Members on or before (i)
the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date upon which the funding of any
Capital Call is due or (ii) with respect to any Capital Call required to fund
Emergency Capital Requirements, as far in advance of the date upon which the
funding of such Capital Call is due as the circumstances reasonably permit.
The Officers shall provide a detailed written report to the Board regarding
any Emergency Capital Requirements as promptly as practicable following the
occurrence of the event or events giving rise thereto specifying the
circumstances of such emergency situation and the recommendations of the
Officers with respect thereto.  The Officers (and, with respect to items (ii)
and (iii) below, each Member) shall be authorized to make Capital Calls and
issue Draw Reports only with respect to: (i) the acquisition of Proposed
Investments previously Approved by the Board; (ii) capital expenditures with
respect to one or more Company Properties to the extent provided for in the
current Annual Operating Budget for such Company Property; (iii) Emergency
Capital Requirements; and (iv) such other matters as may be Approved by the
Board from time to time.

          (C)  All Capital Calls that are consistent with the foregoing
provisions of Sections 3.4(A) and (B) shall be paid in U.S. Dollars within
five (5) Business Days following receipt of the  Draw Report therefor.  Any
and all amounts that are called by the Board and that are not immediately
applied for the purpose called shall be (i) returned to the funding Members
or (ii) invested by the Board in the name of the Company in Short Term
Investments until such time as they are applied for the purpose called.
During the Commitment Period, any amounts returned to the funding Members
pursuant to this Section 3.4(C) together with all distributions to the
Members pursuant to Sections 5.2(B) and (C): (i) shall reduce each such
Member's Capital Account by the amount returned to each such Member, (ii)
shall restore the Member Commitment of each such Member by the amount
returned to each such Member, and (iii) may be recalled by the Board in
accordance with this Agreement.

          (D)  If a Member fails to make, in a timely fashion, a Capital
Contribution to the Company equal to its pro rata portion of the aggregate
amount of the Capital Call therefore based

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

upon its relative Member Commitment when called by the Officers or the Board
in accordance with this Section 3.4 (a "FUNDING DEFAULT"), the Officers shall
deliver to such Member (a "DEFAULTING MEMBER") a written notice of such
Funding Default.  If the Member fails to cure such Funding Default within
three (3) Business Days after such written notice, the Company shall have all
rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity to compel the
Defaulting Member to make the required Capital Contribution.  In addition,
the Officers shall provide written notice of any Funding Default (the
"DEFAULT ELECTION NOTICE") to each Member who has timely funded its Member
Commitment (a "NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER") as quickly as reasonably practical
pursuant to which such Non-Defaulting Members may elect to exercise any of
the  rights and remedies in respect of such Funding Default specified in
clauses (i) and (ii) below:

          (i)  Each Non-Defaulting Member may elect in writing to make a loan (a
     "DEFAULT LOAN") to the Defaulting Member to fund all or a portion of the
     amount of the Defaulting Member's required contribution of capital (the
     principal amount of any such unsatisfied obligation being the "DEFAULT
     AMOUNT"), and such Default Loan, if any, shall be paid directly to the
     Company by the Non-Defaulting Member and treated by the Company as a
     Capital Contribution to the Company by the Defaulting Member.  A Default
     Loan shall earn interest at the Default Rate, and shall be secured by the
     Defaulting Member's interest in the Company and repaid out of the first
     distributions made to such Defaulting Member pursuant to this Agreement.
     No Non-Defaulting Member shall be obligated to make any Default Loan.  If,
     at the end of the fifteen (15) calendar day period following delivery of
     the Default Election Notice (the "DEFAULT ELECTION PERIOD"), the aggregate
     amount of the Default Loan(s) committed by the Non-Defaulting Members is
     equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the Default Amount,
     then each such Non-Defaulting Member shall make a Default Loan in an amount
     determined in accordance with the amount committed to by such
     Non-Defaulting Members.  If, at the end of the Default Election Period, the
     aggregate amount of the Default Loan(s) committed by the Non-Defaulting
     Members is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Default Amount, then
     each such Non-Defaulting Members may make such Default Loan(s) in the
     amount committed to by such Non-Defaulting Members, or in such greater
     amount as such Non-Defaulting Members may agree to advance up to the
     Default Amount.  A Default Loan:  (A) shall reduce the unfunded portion of
     the Member Commitment of a Defaulting Member and shall be deemed to have
     been contributed thereby to the Company on behalf of the Defaulting Member;
     (B) shall not reduce the unfunded portion of the Member Commitment of the
     participating Non-Defaulting Members; and (C) shall not release the
     Defaulting Member from its obligations to fund the remaining unfunded
     portion of its Member Commitment.  The Defaulting Member may cause any such
     Default Loan to be repaid at any time by payment to such Non-Defaulting
     Members of the outstanding principal balance of and all accrued but unpaid
     interest on such Default Loan at the Default Rate in accordance with the
     amount of the Default Amount loaned by each Non-Defaulting Member.  In the
     event that any Default Loan (or portion thereof) remains unpaid following
     final winding-up and liquidation of the Company, then the Non-Defaulting
     Member making such Default Loan shall have all of its rights and remedies
     against the Defaulting Member with respect to the collection of any unpaid
     balance, including accrued but unpaid interest thereon, from the Defaulting

                                     -20-
<PAGE>

     Member.  The Defaulting Member shall execute and deliver all instruments
     and documents reasonably requested by the Non-Defaulting Member(s) to
     evidence and secure such Default Loan.  Upon repayment of all such Default
     Loan(s), the Defaulting Member shall no longer be a Defaulting Member for
     purposes of this Agreement.

          (ii) In the event that any Default Loan (or portion thereof) remains
     unpaid for a period of three (3) months after the date of the making of the
     Default Loan, each Non-Defaulting Member making such Default Loan may elect
     in writing to convert the outstanding amount of such Default Loan to an
     additional contribution of capital to the Company (a "DEFAULT
     CONTRIBUTION").  Upon such conversion to a Default Contribution by any of
     the Non-Defaulting Members, the Board shall recalculate the Members'
     Sharing Percentages, effective as of the date of such conversion to a
     Default Contribution, so that each Member's Sharing Percentage equals the
     percentage equivalent of the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of
     (i) 200% of the amount of all Default Contributions made by such Member
     plus (ii) 100% of all other Capital Contributions made by such Member minus
     (iii) 100% of all Default Contributions made by the other Member in respect
     of Funding Defaults by such Member by (y) the sum of all Capital
     Contributions made by all Members.  In addition, in the event the
     Defaulting Member is CRS, the Promote shall be reduced by a percentage
     which equals the percentage reduction in the Sharing Percentage resulting
     from the formula set forth immediately above.  An example of the operation
     of this provision is attached hereto as Schedule 3.4(D).

          (E)  If CalEast assumes CNT's construction completion guaranty
obligations under the Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Facility, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Capital Call to CRS
in the amount equal to its pro rata portion of all payments made by CalEast
under the construction completion guaranty.  In the event that CRS does not
make a Capital Contribution based upon such deemed Capital Call within the
time period set forth in Section 3.4(C) above, then (i) CRS shall immediately
be deemed to be a Defaulting Member, and (ii) any payments made by CalEast as
a result of such assumption shall be deemed to be a Default Contribution by
CalEast up to CalEast's pro rata share of such payment as based upon its
relative Member Commitment in accordance with Section 3.4(D)(ii) without
regard to the time periods set forth in Section 3.4(D)(ii).

          (F)  If a Member is required to and makes a payment under the
Credit Facility as a result of its pledge of its Subscription Agreement
thereunder (such Member being a "CONTRIBUTING MEMBER"), then such payment
shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution hereunder pursuant to a Capital
Call to the Contributing Member in the amount equal to the Contributing
Member's pro rata share of the payment made thereby based upon its relative
Member Commitment. The Company shall be deemed to have simultaneously made a
Capital Call to the other Member in an amount equal to such other Member's
pro rata share of such payment based upon its relative Member Commitment.  In
the event that the other Member does not make a Capital Contribution based
upon such deemed Capital Call within the time period set forth in Section
3.4(C) above, then (i) the other Member shall immediately be deemed to be a
Defaulting Member, and (ii) the Contributing Member shall be deemed

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

to have made a Default Contribution in the amount of the deemed Capital Call
to the other Member in accordance with Section 3.4(D)(ii) without regard to
the time periods set forth in Section 3.4(D)(ii). For purposes of this
Section 3.4(F), any payments required to be made by either CNT, CalPERS or
Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated ("JONES LANG") pursuant to their respective
guarantees given in connection with the Credit Facility shall be treated as
if (i) CRS (with respect to CNT), or (ii) CalEast (with respect to CalPERS
and Jones Lang) were required to make a payment under the Credit Facility as
a result of their pledge of a Subscription Agreement thereunder.

          (G)  If a Member is required to but fails to make a payment under the
Credit Facility as a result of its pledge of its Subscription Agreement under
the Credit Facility (a "NON-CONTRIBUTING MEMBER"), such failure shall be a
Funding Default by the Non-Contributing Member in the amount of the payment
required to have been funded, and if the Non-Contributing Member does not fund
such amount within the time period set forth in Section 3.4(C) above, then the
other Member shall have the right to elect to make a Default Loan in accordance
with Section 3.4(D)(i) or to make a Default Contribution in accordance with
Section 3.4(D)(ii) without regard to the time periods set forth in said Section
3.4(D).

          SECTION 3.5    CERTIFICATION OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS.  The Company may
in its discretion issue certificates to the Members representing the Membership
Interests held by such Member.

          SECTION 3.6    OTHER ACTIVITIES.  Subject to the other express
provisions of this Agreement and any other agreements with the Company,
including, without limitation, any services agreements to which a Member or
Affiliate of a Member may be a party, each Member, member of the Board or
Officer of the Company, at any time and from time to time may engage in and
own interests in other business ventures of any type and description,
independently or with others (including business ventures in competition with
the Company). In this regard, CalEast recognizes that CRS and its Affiliates
are in the business of acquiring, developing, owning, leasing, operating and
selling real property and interests therein for profit and engaging in all
activities related or incidental thereto.  Neither the Company nor CalEast
nor any Affiliate of CalEast shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement
or the Company relationship created hereby in or to any ventures or
activities of CRS and its Affiliates or to the income or proceeds derived
therefrom or the pursuit of such other ventures or opportunities by CRS and
its Affiliates, even if competitive with the business of the Company, and the
same are hereby consented to by CalEast. Similarly, CRS recognizes that
CalEast and its Affiliates are in the business of acquiring, developing,
owning, leasing, operating and selling real property and interests therein
for profit and engaging in all activities related or incidental thereto.
Neither the Company nor CRS nor any Affiliate of CRS shall have any right by
virtue of this Agreement or the Company relationship created hereby in or to
any ventures or activities of CalEast and its Affiliates or to the income or
proceeds derived therefrom or the pursuit of such other ventures or
opportunities by CalEast and its Affiliates, even if competitive with the
business of the Company, and the same are hereby consented to by CRS. CRS and
its Affiliates shall not be obligated to present to the Company any
particular investment opportunity, whether or not consistent with the
Investment Guidelines, and CRS and its Affiliates shall have the right to
take for its own account any particular investment

                                     -22-

opportunity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CRS hereby consents and agrees
for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates that CRS shall not, and shall not
cause or permit its Affiliates to, form any investment fund or partnership
with one or more pension funds, insurance companies or other institutional
investors, on a "blind pool" or "unspecified" basis, for the purpose of
acquiring and developing industrial properties prior to the expiration of the
Commitment Period, without the prior written consent of CalEast, which
consent shall be given or withheld in CalEast's sole and absolute discretion,
unless the opportunity to invest in such investment fund or partnership shall
have first been offered to CalEast and CalEast shall have declined to invest
in such fund or partnership.

          SECTION 3.7    CREDIT FACILITY.  Each Member shall take all acts and
execute and deliver all documents as are reasonably required of such Member to
comply with the terms of Section 7.1.11 of the Credit Facility.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

          SECTION 4.1    ESTABLISHMENT AND DETERMINATION OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.
 A capital account ("CAPITAL ACCOUNT") shall be established for each Member
on the books of the Company.  Each Member's Capital Account shall be (a)
increased by any Capital Contributions made by such Member pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the amount of any
Default Contributions made by such Member) and such Member's share of
Profits, the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by such
Member and any other items of income and gain allocated to such Member
pursuant to ARTICLE V, (b) decreased by such Member's share of Loss, any
distributions to such Member of cash or the Fair Market Value of any other
Company property (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and liabilities
to which such property is subject) distributed to such Member, the amount of
any liabilities of such Member that are assumed by the Company and any other
deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to ARTICLE V, and (c) adjusted as
otherwise required by the Code and the regulations thereunder, including but
not limited to, the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).
Any references in this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be
deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be increased or
decreased from time to time as set forth above.

          SECTION 4.2    COMPUTATION OF AMOUNTS.  For purposes of computing the
amount of any item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction to be allocated
pursuant to this ARTICLE IV and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts, the
determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same
as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax
purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization
used for this purpose), provided that:

          (A)  the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction
shall include tax-exempt income and those items described in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i),

                                     -23-

without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income
or are not deductible for federal income tax purposes;

          (B)  if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant
to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of
such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the
disposition of such property and the amount of such gain or loss shall be
allocated according to Section 5.5 to the Members immediately prior to the
event that causes the calculation of such gain or loss;

          (C)  items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the
disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs from its
adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book
Value of such property;

          (D)  items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery
deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs
from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to
the property's Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g);

          (E)  to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any
Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required,
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken
into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment
to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment
decreases such basis); and

          (F)  to the extent that the Company distributes any asset in kind
to the Members, the Company shall be deemed to have realized Profit or Loss
thereon in the same manner as if the Company had sold such asset for an
amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined by all the Members) of
such asset or, if greater and otherwise required by the Code, the amount of
debts to which such asset is subject.

          SECTION 4.3    NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.  No Member shall be required
to pay to the Company or any other Member any deficit or negative balance which
may exist from time to time in such Member's Capital Account.

          SECTION 4.4    COMPANY CAPITAL.  No Member shall be paid interest on
any Capital Contribution to the Company or on such Member's Capital Account, and
no Member shall have any right (a) to demand the return of such Member's Capital
Contribution or any other distribution from the Company (whether upon
resignation, withdrawal or otherwise), except upon dissolution of the Company
pursuant to ARTICLE X hereof, or (b) to cause a partition of the Company's
assets; provided, however, that the interest restrictions in this paragraph
shall not apply to a Default Loan the maker of which shall be entitled to
interest at the Default Rate as provided in Section 3.4.

          SECTION 4.5    ADJUSTMENTS TO BOOK VALUE.  The Company shall adjust
the Book Value of its assets to fair market value in accordance with Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) as of the following times: (i) at the
Board's discretion in connection with the issuance of Membership Interests in
the Company; (ii) at the Board's discretion in connection with the
distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of
Company assets, including money, if as a result of such distribution, such
Member's interest in the Company is reduced; and (iii) the liquidation of the
Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g).  Any such increase or decrease in Book Value of an
asset shall be allocated as a Profit or Loss to the Capital Accounts of the
Members under Section 5.5 (determined immediately prior to the acceptance of
additional capital).

          SECTION 4.6    COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 1.704-1(b).  The provisions
of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are
intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury
Regulations. In the event the Board shall determine that it is prudent to
modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits
thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to
liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which
are assumed by the Company or any Member), are computed in order to comply
with such regulation, the Board may make such modification, provided that it
is not likely to have a material effect on the amount distributable to any
Member pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof upon the dissolution of the Company.
The Board also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or
appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Members
and the amount of Company capital reflected on the Company's balance sheet,
as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section
1.704-1(b)(iv)(g), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event
unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with
Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b).

          SECTION 4.7    TRANSFER OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.  The original Capital
Account established for each substituted Member shall be in the same amount
as the Capital Account of the Member which such substituted Member succeeds,
at the time such substituted Member is admitted to the Company.  The Capital
Account of any Member whose interest in the Company shall be increased or
decreased by means of the transfer to it of all or part of the Interest of
another Member shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such transfer.  Any
reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of or distribution to a
Member that has succeeded any other Member shall include any Capital
Contributions or distributions previously made by or to the former Member on
account of the Interest of such former Member transferred to such Member.

                DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

          SECTION 5.1    GENERALLY.  Subject to the provisions of Section
18-607 of the Act and to the provisions of this ARTICLE V, the Board shall
have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions to
Members, in each case subject to the retention and establishment of or
reserves of, or payment to third parties of, such funds as it deems necessary
with respect to the reasonable business needs of the Company which shall
include the payment or the making of provision for the payment when due of
the Company's obligations, including (i) the payment of any and all fees and
expenses or any other obligations of the Company, and (ii) acquisition of
Proposed Investments on behalf of the Company.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board, unless a Majority of the Board disapproves, shall
provide for distributions to Members at least once per calendar quarter.  The
making of distributions hereunder shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of any indebtedness for borrowed money incurred by the Company or
its Subsidiaries.

          SECTION 5.2    DISTRIBUTABLE CASH DISTRIBUTIONS.  Subject to
Section 5.1, distributions of Distributable Cash pursuant to this Section 5.2
shall be made, to the extent of Distributable Cash, on a quarterly basis at
the end of each calendar quarter, to each Member in the following order and
priority:

          (A)  First, to the Members, in accordance with their respective
Sharing Percentages, until each Member's Preferred Return Account has been
reduced to zero;

          (B)  Second,  to the Members, in accordance with their respective
Sharing Percentages, until each Member's Invested Capital Account, with
respect to each Company Property giving rise to the Net Capital Proceeds then
being distributed, has been reduced to zero;

          (C)  Third, to the Members, in accordance with their respective
Sharing Percentages, until each Member's Invested Capital Account, with
respect to all Liquidated Company Properties, has been reduced to zero; and

          (D)  Fourth, subject to sub-paragraphs (i)-(iv) below, (x)
thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) to CRS (the "PROMOTE") and (y)
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) to the Members in accordance with
their respective Sharing Percentages.

          (i)  From and after the occurrence of a CNT Loan Default (a) CRS shall
     be a Defaulting Member and (b) the amount of Distributable Cash that would
     otherwise be distributed to CRS from Net Capital Proceeds as the Promote
     shall be paid instead to a segregated account established by the Company
     (the "ESCROW ACCOUNT") in accordance with Section 5.2(D)(iv) below.

          (ii) In the event that CalEast makes a Capital Contribution pursuant
     to Section 3.4(E) which results in a Default Contribution made by CalEast
     on behalf of CRS, the amount

                                     -26-

<PAGE>

     of Distributable Cash that would otherwise be distributed to CRS as the
     Promote from and after such date shall be reduced by the amount of
     Distributable Cash generated by Construction Properties, after payment
     of those amounts required to be distributed to the Members pursuant to
     Sections 5.2(A), (B) and (C) from and after such date, and such amount
     shall be paid to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing
     Percentages.

          (iii) In the event that CalEast makes a Capital Contribution
     pursuant to Section 3.4(F) which results in a Default Contribution made by
     CalEast on behalf of CRS, the amount of Distributable Cash that would
     otherwise be distributed to CRS as the Promote above from and after such
     date shall be paid instead to the Members in accordance with their
     respective Sharing Percentages.

          (iv)  The Company shall be entitled at any time to withdraw from the
     Escrow Account:  (a) all interest, fees, contributions and expenses
     chargeable against the remaining unfunded commitment of CRS and any other
     amounts owed by CRS to the Company, including, without limitation, any
     Shortfall Amount, except to the extent such interest, fees, contributions,
     expenses and other amounts are assumed by any other Member pursuant to
     Section 3.4 above; and (b) all amounts that would, were it not for the
     Escrow Account, be distributed to the Members in accordance with clause
     (ii) or (iii) above, such amounts to be drawn from the Escrow Account by
     the Company and distributed to the Members in accordance with clauses (ii)
     and (iii) above as from time to time may be necessary.  Any amounts paid to
     the Company from the Escrow Account on account of any Shortfall Amount
     shall be distributed by the Company to the Members in accordance with their
     respective Shortfall Amounts.  If all indebtedness under the Credit
     Facility is repaid at Maturity (as that term is defined in the Credit
     Facility), then the assets held in the Escrow Account at that time will be
     distributed to CNT, subject to adjustment and payment of any Shortfall
     Amount as provided in Section 5.3 below.  Otherwise, the assets held in the
     Escrow Account at that time will be distributed to each Member in
     accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages.

          SECTION 5.3    POSSIBLE ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT.  If, at the end of the
Fiscal Year of the Company, any Member shall have a positive balance in its
Preferred Return Account or in its Invested Capital Account with respect to
any Liquidated Company Property (collectively, the "SHORTFALL AMOUNT"), and
CRS shall have received distributions in respect of the Promote, then CRS
shall promptly pay to the Company the lesser of (i) the amount of such
distributions received by CRS in respect of the Promote and (ii) the
aggregate Shortfall Amounts for all Members, and such amount shall be
distributed by the Company to the Members in accordance with their respective
Shortfall Amounts; provided, however, that CRS shall be entitled to offset
all amounts then Approved by the Board to be distributed to CRS against the
amount that it is required to pay to the Company.

          SECTION 5.4    BUY-SELL.

          (A)  Upon the occurrence of a CNT Loan Default, CRS shall have
thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt by CNT of written notice of
such default from the administrative agent of the loan facility that is then
in default (the "CNT FACILITY AGENT") to provide to CalEast written assurance
from the CNT Facility Agent that CRS can continue to fund its obligations
under its Subscription Agreement (the "CRS FUNDING ASSURANCE").  In the event
that CRS fails to provide CalEast with the CRS Funding Assurance within such
thirty (30) day period, CalEast shall thereafter have the right to make a
Buy-Sell Offer (a "BUY-SELL OFFER") to CRS pursuant to the terms of this
Section 5.4.  To make a Buy-Sell Offer, CalEast shall provide to CRS written
notice (a "BUY-SELL NOTICE") of its offer to purchase CRS's Membership
Interest, which Buy-Sell Notice shall specify the amount offered by CalEast
for a one hundred percent (100%) interest in the Company Properties (the
"BUY-SELL PRICE"), and a statement of the amount that CRS would receive (the
"OFFEREE VALUE") and the amount CalEast would receive (the "OFFEROR VALUE")
on account of their respective Membership Interests if (i) all of the Company
Properties were sold for the Buy-Sell Price, (ii) all liabilities of the
Company were paid in full (including amounts due under the Credit Facility),
and (iii) the remaining proceeds of the Company were distributed to the
Members in accordance with Section 5.2.

          (B)  Upon receipt of a Buy-Sell Notice, CRS shall have thirty (30)
days thereafter to elect, by written notice to CalEast signed by or on behalf
of CRS (the "CRS BUY-SELL ELECTION NOTICE"), either to:

          (i)  sell its Membership Interest to CalEast for a cash purchase price
     equal to the Offeree Value; or

         (ii) purchase the Membership Interest of CalEast for a cash purchase
     price equal to the Offeror Value; or

         (iii) cause the Company to market the Company Properties for sale
     to any Person;

provided that failure by CRS to serve such a written notice on CalEast within
such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an election by CRS to cause
the Company to market the Company Properties for sale pursuant to Section
5.4(B)(iii).

          (C)  If CRS elects to cause the Company to market the Company
Properties for sale pursuant to Section 5.4(B)(iii), then the Company shall
use the seventy-five (75) day period after the date of the CRS Buy-Sell
Election Notice (the "PORTFOLIO MARKETING PERIOD") to market the Company
Properties for sale to any Person.  In the event that, on or prior to the
expiration of the Portfolio Marketing Period, the Company receives a
bona-fide offer from any Person to purchase the Company Properties, which
offer shall be in writing in the form of a letter of intent between the
Company and such Person and shall set forth the price and other terms
relevant to the sale and purchase of the Company Properties (a "PORTFOLIO
PURCHASE OFFER"), the Company shall promptly provide a copy thereof to each
of the Members, who shall have the following rights in respect thereof:

                                     -28-

<PAGE>

          (i)  if such Portfolio Purchase Offer is in an amount less than the
     Buy-Sell Price, then CalEast shall have the right, which may be exercised
     by written notice to CRS no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by
     CalEast of a copy of the Portfolio Purchase Offer, to purchase CRS's
     Membership Interest for the Offeree Value resulting from the Portfolio
     Purchase Offer.  If CalEast shall fail to give the notice of its election
     required pursuant to this clause (i) within the period required hereby,
     then CalEast shall be irrevocably deemed to have elected to complete the
     Buy-Sell Offer at the Offeree Value resulting from the Buy-Sell Price.

          (ii) if such Portfolio Purchase Offer is in an amount at least equal
     to but less than one hundred five percent (105%) of the Buy-Sell Price,
     then CalEast shall have the right, which may be exercised by written notice
     to CRS no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by CalEast of a copy
     of the Portfolio Purchase Offer, to purchase CRS's Membership Interest for
     the Offeree Value.  If CalEast shall fail to give the notice of its
     election required pursuant to this clause (ii) within the period required
     hereby, then CalEast shall be irrevocably deemed to have elected not to
     purchase CRS's Membership Interest, and the Company may thereafter sell the
     Company Properties to the Person making the Portfolio Purchase Offer (the
     "PORTFOLIO OFFEROR") on the terms of the Portfolio Purchase Offer.

         (iii) if such Portfolio Purchase Offer is in an amount that is
     more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the Buy-Sell Offer, then the
     Company may sell the Company Properties to the Portfolio Offeror pursuant
     to the terms of the Portfolio Purchase Offer; provided, however, that
     CalEast shall have the right, which may be exercised by written notice to
     CRS no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt by CalEast of a copy of
     the Portfolio Purchase Offer, to purchase CRS's Membership Interest for the
     Offeree Value resulting from the Portfolio Purchase Offer.  If CalEast
     shall fail to give the notice of its election required pursuant to this
     clause (iii) within the period required hereby, then CalEast shall be
     irrevocably deemed to have elected not to purchase CRS's Membership
     Interest, and the Company may thereafter sell the Company Properties to the
     Portfolio Offeror on the terms of the Portfolio Purchase Offer.

          (D)  CASH DEPOSIT.

          (i)  If CRS elects to purchase CalEast's Membership Interest pursuant
     to Section 5.4(B)(i), CRS shall make contemporaneously with such election a
     cash deposit in escrow with a bank or other financial institution selected
     by CalEast in an amount calculated in accordance with Section 5.4(D)(ii)
     below.  If CRS elects to sell its Membership Interest pursuant to Section
     5.4(B)(ii), or if CalEast elects or is deemed to have elected to purchase
     CRS's Membership Interest pursuant to Section 5.4(C)(i), (ii) or (iii),
     CalEast shall make, within five (5) Business Days of such election, a cash
     deposit in escrow with a bank or other financial institution selected by
     CRS in an amount calculated in accordance with Section 5.4(D)(ii) below.

                                     -29-

<PAGE>

          (ii) The cash deposit (the "BUY SELL DEPOSIT") referred to in
     Section 5.4(D)(i) above shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the Offeree
     Value (including, if applicable, an Offeree Value that may result from a
     Portfolio Purchase Offer) or Offeror Value, as applicable.  In the event
     that: (i) CRS elects to sell its Membership Interest pursuant to Section
     5.4(B)(i) or purchase CalEast's Membership Interest pursuant to Section
     5.4(B)(ii), or CalEast elects to purchase CRS's Membership Interest
     pursuant to Section 5.4(C)(i),(ii) or (iii); and (ii) the purchasing Member
     fails to complete such purchase within the thirty (30) day period provided
     in Section 5.4(F), then the selling Member may retain the Buy Sell Deposit
     and either:

                    (1)  purchase the purchasing Member's Membership Interest
                         for a cash purchase price equal to ninety percent (90%)
                         of the Offeree Value or the Offeror Value, as
                         applicable; or

                    (2)  exercise any other rights or remedies available at law
                         or in equity.

          (E)  COMPLETION OF SALE OF COMPANY PROPERTIES.  Completion of the
sale and purchase of the Company Properties under this Section 5.4 shall take
place at the Company's principal place of business no later than the date
which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Portfolio Marketing
Period. Simultaneous with the sale and purchase of the Company Properties,
CalEast and CRS shall execute such documents, and shall cause the lender
under the Credit Facility to execute such documents, as reasonably necessary
to release the Company Properties from any and all obligations under the
Credit Facility.  If the Portfolio Offeror fails to complete the purchase of
the Company Properties in accordance with the terms of the Portfolio Purchase
Offer, then CalEast may thereafter complete the purchase of CRS' Membership
Interest in accordance with CalEast's Buy-Sell Offer and the procedures set
forth in Sections 5.4(D) and (F).

          (F)  COMPLETION OF TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS BETWEEN
SHAREHOLDERS.  Completion of the sale and purchase of any Membership
Interests under this Section 5.4 shall take place at the Company's principal
place of business no later than the date which is thirty (30) days after the
expiration of the Portfolio Marketing Period.  All transfer, stamp and other
taxes imposed on the transfer shall be payable by the purchasing Member, and
all other associated costs with the transfer shall be borne equally by the
Members. Simultaneously with the sale and purchase of a Membership Interest,
CalEast and CRS shall execute such documents, and shall cause the lender
under the Credit Facility to execute such documents, as reasonably necessary
to release the selling Member from any and all of its obligations under the
Credit Facility. All Membership Interests sold pursuant to this Section 5.4
shall be sold with full title guarantee free and clear of any liens or other
encumbrances and together with all rights attached thereto as of the date of
transfer.

          (G)  INDEMNIFICATION.  Any Member who shall purchase a Membership
Interest (the "BUYING MEMBER") from another Member (the "SELLING MEMBER")
pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall as of and after the date of the transfer
of the Membership Interest indemnify and hold harmless the Selling Member and
its Affiliates from and of any and all manner of liability, loss, damage,
cost, cause

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

of action, lien, indebtedness or claim (collectively, a "CLAIM") arising out
of or relating to the Company or the Selling Member's Membership Interest
that the Selling Member may suffer or incur as a result of any event that may
occur after the date of the transfer of the Membership Interest, whether or
not such Claim arises in connection with the Selling Member's obligations
under the Completion Guaranty or the Investor Guaranty, as those documents
are defined in the Credit Facility, or otherwise, except for a Claim arising
as a result of the gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of the
Selling Member, in which case such indemnification shall not cover the Claim
to the extent resulting from such gross negligence, fraud or intentional
misconduct.

          SECTION 5.5    ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.

          (A)  ALLOCATIONS.  The items of income, expense, gain and loss of the
Company comprising Profit or Loss for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the
Members during such Fiscal Year in a manner that will, as nearly as possible,
cause the Capital Account balance of each Member at the end of such Fiscal Year
to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:

          (i)  the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Member would
     receive if, on the last day of the Fiscal Year, (x) all Company assets,
     including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Book Value, taking into
     account any adjustments thereto for such Fiscal Year, (y) all Company
     liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with
     respect to each nonrecourse liability, to the Book Value of the assets
     securing such liability) and (z) the net proceeds thereof (after
     satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to
     Section 5.2., over

          (ii) the sum of (x) the amount, if any, which such Member is obligated
     to contribute to the capital of the Company, (y) such Member's share of the
     minimum gain determined pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z)
     such Member's share of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain determined
     pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed immediately
     prior to the hypothetical sale described in Section 5.5(A)(i).

          (B)  DETERMINATION OF ITEMS COMPRISING ALLOCATIONS.

          (i)  In the event that the Company has Profit for a Fiscal Year;

                    (1)  for any Member as to whom the allocation pursuant to
                         Section 5.5(A) is negative, such allocation shall be
                         comprised of a proportionate share of each of the
                         Company's items of expense or loss entering into the
                         computation of Profits for such Fiscal Year; and

                    (2)  the allocation pursuant to Section 5.5(A) in respect of
                         each Member (other than a Member referred to in Section
                         5.5(B)(i)(a)) shall be comprised of a proportionate
                         share of

                                     -31-

<PAGE>

                         each Company item of income, gain, expense and
                         loss entering into the computation of Net Income for
                         such Fiscal Year (other than the portion of each
                         Company item of expense and loss, if any, that is
                         allocated pursuant to Section 5.5(B)(i)(a)).

          (ii)   In the event that the Company has a Loss for a Fiscal Year;

                    (1)  for any Member as to whom the allocation pursuant to
                         Section 5.5(A) is positive, such allocation shall be
                         comprised of a proportionate share of the Company's
                         items of income and gain entering into the computation
                         of Loss for such Fiscal Year; and

                         share of each Company item of income, gain, expense and
                         loss entering into the computation of Net Loss for such
                         Fiscal Year (other than the portion of each Company
                         item of income and gain, if any, that is allocated
                         pursuant to Section 5.5(B)(ii)(a)).

          (iii)  For purposes of this Section 5.5, a gain recognized by the
     Company upon the disposition of an item of Company property shall be
     considered to be a single item of gain regardless of whether, for federal
     income tax purposes, part of the gain is treated differently from the
     remainder.

          SECTION 5.6    REGULATORY AND SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS.  Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 5.5:

          (A)  COMPANY MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK.  If there is a net decrease
in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be
specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year
(and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such
Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g).  The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This paragraph is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (B)  MEMBER NONRECOURSE DEBT MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK.  Member
Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).  Except as otherwise provided in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member
Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member that has a share of such
Member Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or
gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in
an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

in Member Minimum Gain.  Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph
shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This paragraph is intended to comply with
the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (C)  QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET. If any Member unexpectedly receives
any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable
income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and
manner sufficient to eliminate the adjusted capital account deficit
(determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d))
created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as
possible.  This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income
offset requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and
shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (D)  NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Nonrecourse Deductions (as determined
according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Fiscal Year
shall be allocated to  the Members in accordance with the allocation of
Losses hereunder.

          (E)  ORDERING RULES. Anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, allocations for any Fiscal Year or other period of
nonrecourse deductions (as defined in clause (d) above), or of items required
to be allocated pursuant to the minimum gain chargeback requirements
contained in Section 5.6(A) and Section 5.6(B), shall be made before any
other allocations hereunder.

          (F)  OFFSETTING ALLOCATIONS. If, and to the extent that, any Member
is deemed to recognize any item of income, gain, deduction or loss as a
result of any transaction between such Member and the Company pursuant to
Sections 1272-1274, 7872, 483, 482 or 83 of  the Code or any similar
provision now or hereafter in effect, and the Board determines that any
corresponding Profit or Loss of the Member who recognizes such item should be
allocated to such Member in order to reflect the Members' Economic Interest
in the Company, then the Board may so allocate such Profit or Loss.

          (G)  In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any
property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax
purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax
purposes and its initial Book Value.  Such allocations shall be made using
any reasonable method specified in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-3 as
the Board determines.  In the event the Book Value of any Company asset is
adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of "Book Value",
subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
such asset shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis
of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same
manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.  Such allocation shall be made based on any reasonable method
specified in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-3 as the Board determines.

                                     -33-

<PAGE>

          (H)  Except as provided in Section 5.6(G), for federal, state and
local income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss or deduction shall
be allocated among the Members in the same manner and in the same proportion
that the corresponding book items have been allocated among the Members'
respective Capital Accounts.

          SECTION 5.7    SECTION 754 ELECTION.  Upon the request of the
Board, the Company shall elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to
adjust the basis of Company property as permitted and provided in Sections
734 and 743 of the Code.  Such election shall be effective solely for Federal
(and, if applicable, state and local) income tax purposes and shall not
result in any adjustment to the Book Value of any Company asset or to the
Member's Capital Accounts (except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)) or in the determination or allocation of Profit or Loss
for purposes other than such tax purposes.

          SECTION 6.6  POWER OF ATTORNEY.

          (A)   GRANT OF POWER. Each Member constitutes and appoints the
President of the Company as the Member's true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
and in the Member's name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign,
acknowledge, and file:

          (i)   one or more certificates of formation consistent with the terms
     of this Agreement;

          (ii)  all documents (including amendments to the Certificates of
     Formation) which the attorney-in-fact deems appropriate to reflect any
     written amendment, change or modification of this Agreement approved in
     accordance with Section 11.8 below;

          (iii) upon the requisite approval, if any, required elsewhere in
     this Agreement, any and all other certificates or other instruments
     required to be filed by the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware
     or of any other state or jurisdiction, including, without

                                      -41-

<PAGE>

     limitation, any certificate or other instruments necessary in order for
     the Company to continue to qualify as a limited liability company under
     the laws of the State of Delaware;

          (iv)  one or more applications to use an assumed name; and

          (B)   IRREVOCABILITY. The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable
and is coupled with an interest, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
shall survive the death or disability of a Member. It also shall survive the
Transfer of a Membership Interest, except that if the transferee is approved for
admission as a Member, this power of attorney shall survive the delivery of the
assignment for the sole purpose of enabling the Attorney-in-Fact to execute,
acknowledge and file any documents needed to effectuate the substitution. Each
Member shall be bound by any representations made by the attorney-in-fact acting
in good faith pursuant to this power of attorney, and each Member hereby waives
any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the
action of the attorney-in-fact taken in good faith under this power of attorney.

          SECTION 6.7  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. The Board shall cause the
Company to enter into the Management Agreement with CNT, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"). Any Member shall

          SECTION 6.8  RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER-COMPANY PROPERTY. Before the
Company sells or otherwise disposes of any Company Property (an "OFFERED
PROPERTY") to any Person, the Company shall notify (the "SALE NOTICE") the
Members in writing of the proposed sale and of the terms and conditions of
such sale (including the price at which the Company is seeking to sell the
Offered Property and such other terms and conditions of such proposed sale as
are reasonably required for a Member to make its election to purchase the
Offered Property). If a Member shall at that time not be in default of the
terms of this Agreement, the Member shall thereafter have thirty (30) days
(such period the "OFFER PERIOD") to notify the Board in writing of its
election to acquire the Company Property on the terms of the Sale Notice;
provided, however, that CRS shall have such right to receive a Sale Notice
and acquire the Offered Property only if the requirements of Section 6.3(C)
have been satisfied and only to the Company Property for which the
requirements of Section 6.3(C) have been satisfied. Should the Member fail
to notify the Board in writing of its election within such thirty (30) day
period, it shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Offered
Property. Upon notice to the Board of the Member's election not to purchase
the Offered Property or the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall
thereafter use reasonable efforts to sell the Offered Property on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sale Notice; provided,
however, that should (i) the price for the sale of the Offered Property be
reduced by more than five percent (5%) below the price set forth in the Sale
Notice, or (ii) a period of six (6) months after the date of delivery of the
Sale Notice expire without a sale of the Offered Property, the Member shall
have its right to purchase the Offered

                                      -42-

<PAGE>

Property reinstated in accordance with the procedure set forth in this
Section 6.8. Any Member shall have the right to designate an Affiliate of
the Member, or one of its members, as the grantee in any conveyance by the
Company of an Offered Property which the Member has elected to acquire
pursuant to this Section 6.8.

                         EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

          SECTION 7.1  PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES; NO LIABILITY OF OFFICERS. No
Member shall have any duty to the Company or any Member of the Company except
as expressly set forth herein or in other written agreements. No Member,
member of the Board or Officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company
or to any Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or to any
Member, unless the loss or damage shall have been the result of gross
negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by the Member, member of the
Board or Officer in question or, in the case of an Officer, breach of such
Person's duties pursuant to Section 6.2(c). In performing his or her duties,
each such Person shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of
this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including

has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, or the
Board in each case as to matters which such relying Person reasonably
believes to be within such other Person's competence. The preceding sentence
shall in no way limit any Person's right to rely on information to the extent
provided in Section 18-406 of the Act. No Member, member of the Board or
Officer of the Company shall be personally liable under any judgment of a
court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation or liability of the
Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort or
otherwise, solely by reason of being a Member, member of the Board or Officer
of the Company or any combination of the foregoing.

          SECTION 7.2  [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

          SECTION 7.3  CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Without limiting the

Member or member of the Board shall, directly or indirectly disclose or use
at any time, either during his, her or its association or employment with the
Company or thereafter, any Confidential Information of which such Member is
or becomes aware. Each Member and member of the Board in possession of
Confidential Information shall take all appropriate steps to safeguard such
information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and
theft. Notwithstanding the above, a Member or member of the Board may
disclose Confidential Information to the extent (i) the disclosure is
necessary for the Member, member of the Board and/or the Company's agents,
representatives, and advisors to fulfill their duties to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement and/or other written agreements, (ii) the disclosure is
required by law or a court order, and (iii) to the extent necessary to

          SECTION 7.4    TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE MEMBERS.
Notwithstanding that it may constitute a conflict of interest, the Members, the
members of the Board or their Affiliates may engage in any transaction
(including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any
property or the rendering of any service with the Company) so long as such
transaction is at arm's length and approved by a majority of the disinterested
members the Board.

          SECTION 7.5    RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.  Subject to the limitations
and conditions  provided in this ARTICLE VII, each Person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or arbitrative (hereinafter, a "PROCEEDING"), or any appeal in
such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a
Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of which such
Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member, a member of the Board or
Officer shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case
of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the
Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the
Company to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties
(including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements
and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
and experts' fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such
Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each a "LOSS"), unless such Loss
shall have been the result of gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct
by such Person, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Loss to
the extent resulting from such gross negligence, fraud or intentional
misconduct.  Indemnification under this ARTICLE VII shall continue as to a
Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such
Person to indemnity hereunder.  The rights granted pursuant to this ARTICLE VII
shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of
this ARTICLE VII shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights
with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or
investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal.

          SECTION 7.6    ADVANCE PAYMENT.  The right to indemnification
conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed
by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person (other than an
Officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereof in respect of claims
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries thereof against such Officer in such
Officer's capacity as such) entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.5 who
was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a
Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any
determination as to the Person's ultimate entitlement to indemnification;
provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person
in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon
delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person of his or her
good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under ARTICLE VII and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of
such Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under
this ARTICLE VII or otherwise.

<PAGE>

          SECTION 7.7    INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENTS.  The Company, at the
direction of the Board, may indemnify and advance expenses to an agent of the
Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may
indemnify and advance expenses under Sections 7.5 and 7.6.

          SECTION 7.8    APPEARANCE AS A WITNESS.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this ARTICLE VII, the Company may pay or reimburse reasonable out-
of-pocket expenses incurred by an Officer or agent in connection with his or her
appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he
is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

          SECTION 7.9    NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.  The right to indemnification
and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall
not be exclusive of any other right that a Member, member of the Board, Officer
or other Person indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VII may have or hereafter
acquire under any law (common or statutory) or provision of this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.10   INSURANCE.  The Company shall obtain and maintain, at
its expense, insurance to protect itself and any Member, member of the Board,
Officer or agent of the Company who is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a manager, representative, director, officer, partner, venturer,
proprietor, trustee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic
limited liability company, corporation, Company, sole proprietorship, trust or
other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense,
liability or loss under this ARTICLE VII .

          SECTION 7.11   SAVINGS CLAUSE.  If this ARTICLE VII or any portion
hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent
jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless
each Person indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VII as to costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement with respect to any such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or
investigation to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
ARTICLE VII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

          SECTION 7.12   LIMITED LIABILITY.  Except as otherwise provided by the
Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in
contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and
liabilities of the Company, and no Member, member of the Board or Officer of the
Company shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability
of the Company solely by reason of being a Member, member of the Board or
Officer of the Company.  Neither the Members nor any member of the Board shall
be required to lend any funds to the Company.  Each of the Members shall only be
liable to make payment of its respective Member Commitment as and when due
hereunder and other payments as expressly provided in this Agreement.  If and to
the extent a Member's Member Commitment shall be fully paid, such Member shall
not, except as required by the express provisions of the Act regarding repayment
of sums wrongfully distributed to Members, be required to make any further
contributions.  No Member in his or her capacity as a Member shall have

                                     -47-
<PAGE>

any power to represent, act for, sign for or bind the members of the Board or
the Company, and the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Board and
Officers of the Company of the powers conferred on them by law and this
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                      TAXES

          SECTION 8.1    TAX RETURNS.  The President shall cause to be prepared
and filed all necessary federal and state income tax returns for the Company,
and shall make any elections and filings it may deem appropriate and in the best
interests of the Members.  Each Member shall furnish to the Company all
pertinent information in its possession relating to Company operations that is
necessary to enable the Company's income tax returns to be prepared and filed.
The Company shall furnish all pertinent information to the Members that is
necessary to determine amounts includable on their tax returns with respect to
the Company (including Schedule K-1) not later than 75 days after the end of the
Taxable Year or any extension period granted by the relevant authority having
jurisdiction over such matters.

          SECTION 8.2    TAX MATTERS PARTNER.   The Board shall designate any
Member to serve as a tax matters partner (subject to replacement) as and when
required pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the "TAX MATTERS PARTNER"),
and such Tax Matters Partner shall also be the "notice partner" within the
meaning of Section 6223 of the Code.  The Tax Matters Partner may, in its sole
discretion, make or revoke any election under the Code or the Treasury
Regulations issued thereunder (including for this purpose any new or amended
Treasury Regulations issued after the Formation Date).  The Tax Matters Partner
is authorized to represent the Company before the Internal Revenue Service and
any other governmental agency with jurisdiction, and to sign such consents and
to enter into settlements and other agreements with such agencies as the Board
deems necessary or advisable.  Promptly following the written request of the Tax
Matters Partner, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
reimburse and indemnify the Tax Matters Partner for all reasonable expenses,
including reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and
damages incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any
administrative or judicial proceeding (i) with respect to the tax liability of
the Company and/or (ii) with respect to the tax liability of the Members in
connection with the operations of the Company.  The provisions of this
Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of the Company or the termination of
any Member's interest in the Company and shall remain binding on the Members for
as long a period of time as is necessary to resolve with the Internal Revenue
Service any and all matters regarding the Federal income taxation of the Company
or the Members.

          SECTION 8.3    RESERVES.   The Board may from time to time establish
such reasonable cash reserves as it shall reasonably determine.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                           TRANSFERS AND OTHER EVENTS

          SECTION 9.1    TRANSFER  OF INTEREST.   Except as provided in this
Article IX, no Member shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer or
otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of
law, all or any portion of its, his or her Membership Interest (a "TRANSFER") in
the Company to any Person (an "ASSIGNEE") without the prior Approval of the
Board.

          SECTION 9.2    PERMITTED TRANSFER.  Subject to the conditions and
restrictions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4, the Approval of the Board shall not be
required for any Transfer by any Member of all of any portion of its Membership
Interests to any Affiliate of such Member, unless the Transferring Member (as
defined below) seeks to be released or in any manner avoid further obligations
to fund the unfunded portion of its Member Commitment as a result of such
Transfer.

          SECTION 9.3    RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER-MEMBERSHIP INTEREST.  Before any
Member (the "TRANSFERRING MEMBER") transfers all or any portion of its
Membership Interest (the "TRANSFERRED INTEREST") to any Person other than an
Affiliate of the Transferring Member, the Transferring Member shall notify the
Board in writing of such intended Transfer, which notice (the "TRANSFER NOTICE")
shall contain the terms of the proposed Transfer (including, the price at which
the Transferring Member is seeking to Transfer the Transferred Interest).  The
Board shall provide all Members with a copy of the Transfer Notice within five
(5) business days after receiving such notice.  Each Non-Defaulting Member shall
have thirty (30) days (such period the "ELECTION PERIOD") from the Board's
delivery of the Transfer Notice to notify the Board in writing of its election
to acquire all or a portion of the Transferred Interest and the percentage of
the Transferred Interest that such Non-Defaulting Member (and "ELECTING MEMBER")
proposes to acquire (such notice by an Electing Member, an "ELECTION NOTICE").
The Board shall provide a copy of each Election Notice it receives to all other
Members within five (5) business days after receiving such Election Notice.  If
at the end of the Election Period, the aggregate percentage of the Transferred
Interest specified by the Electing Partners in Election Notices is equal to or
greater than 100%, then the Transferring Member shall transfer the Transferred
Interest to such Electing Members on a prorata basis in accordance with the
percentages of the Transferred Interest set forth in their respective Election
Notices, and in accordance with all other terms set forth in the Transfer
Notice.  If, at the end of the Election Period no Members deliver an Election
Notice, or the aggregate percentage of the Transferred Interest specified by the
Electing Members in Election Notices is less than 100%, then the Transferring
Member shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.4,
to Transfer the Transferred Interest to any Person, for an amount not less than
98% of the price specified in the Transfer Notice and otherwise on substantially
identical terms as the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, within ninety
(90) days of the expiration of the Election Period.  If the Transferring Member
fails to Transfer the Transferred Interest within such ninety (90) day period,
or materially deviates from the terms of the Transfer Notice other than the
variance in price allowed pursuant to this Section 9.3, the Transferring Member
shall be required to re-offer the Transferred Interest to the other Members in
accordance the above procedure.  If a Transferring Member shall Transfer all or
any portion of its interest in the Company to one or more Members, in accordance
with this Section 9.3, then the Transferring Member shall be

                                     -49-
<PAGE>

released from any further obligations under this Agreement to the extent of
such Transferred Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 9.3, and without limiting the authority of the Board to grant or
withhold Approval to any proposed Transfer to any party who is not a Member
or an Affiliate of a Member, the Board may withhold Approval to any proposed
Transfer that the Board determines, based upon the advice of counsel, would
(i) violate applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws, (ii)
increase the number of Persons who beneficially own an interest in the
Company for purposes of determining whether the Company must register as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
(iii) create a material risk of adverse tax consequences to any Member (other
than the Transferring Member), including without limitation material risk
that the Company shall be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" under
Section 7704 of the Code or shall fail to qualify for any safe harbor,
exemption or other favorable treatment under Section 7704 of the Code, the
regulations thereunder, and any administrative rulings or policies with
respect thereto, (iv) threaten  or result in a liquidation of the Company, or
(v) violate the terms of any existing financing of Company Properties.

          SECTION 9.4    ASSIGNMENTS GENERALLY; SUBSTITUTED MEMBER.  Without
limiting the provisions of Sections 9.1 through 9.3, a Transfer shall be valid
hereunder only if:

          (A)  the transferring Member and the recipient (the "ASSIGNEE") each
execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance
as may be reasonably requested by the Board to effect such Transfer and to
confirm the agreement of the Assignee to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement;

          (B)  the Transferring Member and Assignee provide to the Board the
Assignee's taxpayer identification number and any other information reasonably
necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax
returns and other legally required information statements or returns.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to
any interest Transferred until the Board has received such information;

          (C)  the Transferring Member furnishes to the Company (unless waived
by the Board) an opinion of counsel, which counsel and opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Board, that (i) the Transfer will not cause the
Company to be deemed to be an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) the Transfer will not cause the Company to be
taxed as a corporation pursuant to Section 7704 of the Code and (iii) either the
interest Transferred has been registered under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws or the Transfer is exempt from all applicable
registration requirements and will not violate any applicable laws regulating
the Transfer of securities; and

          (D)  the Transferring Member reimburses the Company for all costs and
expenses that the Company reasonably incurs in connection with the Transfer.

          SECTION 9.5    RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF ASSIGNEES AND TRANSFERRING
MEMBERS.

          (A)  A Transfer by a Member or other person shall not itself dissolve
the Company or entitle the Assignee to become a Member or exercise any rights of
a Member.

          (B)  A Transfer by a Member shall eliminate the Member's power and
right to vote (in proportion to the extent of the interest Transferred) on any
matter submitted to the Members, and, for voting purposes, such interest shall
not be counted as outstanding in proportion to the extent of the interest
Transferred.  A Transfer shall not otherwise eliminate the Member's entitlement
to any rights associated with the Member's remaining interest, including,
without limitation, rights to information, and shall not cause the Member to be
released from any liability to the Company solely as a result of the Transfer.

          (C)  An Assignee that is not admitted as a Member pursuant to
Section 9.3 and 9.4 shall be entitled only to the Economic Interest with
respect to the Transferred Interest and shall have no other rights
(including, without limitation, rights to any information or accounting of
the affairs of the Company or to inspect the books or records of the Company)
with respect to the Transferred Interest.  The Assignee shall nevertheless be
subject to all of the obligations applicable to a Member under this ARTICLE
IX.  If the Assignee becomes a Member, the voting and other rights associated
with the interest held by the Assignee shall be restored and be held by the
Member along with all other rights with respect to the  Transferred Interest.
The Assignee shall have no liability as a Member solely as a result of the
Transfer.

          SECTION 9.6    EFFECT OF ADMISSION OF MEMBER ON TRANSFERRING MEMBER
AND COMPANY.  Notwithstanding the admission of an Assignee as a Member, the
Transferring Member shall not be released from any obligations to the Company
existing as of the date of the transfer (other than obligations of the
Transferring Member to make future capital contributions), but such admission
shall cause Transferring Member to cease to be a Member with respect to the
interest Transferred when the Assignee becomes a Member.  In any such case, the
admission of the Assignee as a Member shall constitute the requisite consent of
the Members to continue the business of the Company notwithstanding that such
admission will cause the termination of the membership of the Transferring
Member with respect to the interest Transferred.

          SECTION 9.7    DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS REGARDING TRANSFERRED
INTERESTS.  Upon any Transfer during any Fiscal Year of the Company made in
compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, profits, losses, each item
thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such Fiscal
Year shall be divided and allocated between the Transferring Member and the
Assignee by taking into account their varying interests during such Fiscal
Year, using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Board.  All
distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the
Transferring Member and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the
Assignee.  Solely for purposes of making such allocations and distributions,
the Company shall recognize such Transfer not later than the end of the
calendar month during which it is given notice of such Transfer; provided
that, if the Company is given notice of a Transfer at least 10 business days
prior to the Transfer, the

                                     -51-
<PAGE>

Company shall recognize such Transfer as the date of such Transfer, and
provided, further, that, if the Company does not receive a notice stating the
date such interest was Transferred and such other information as the Board
may reasonably require within 30 days after the end of the Fiscal Year during
which the Transfer occurs, then all such items shall be allocated, and all
distributions shall be made, to the Member that, according to the books and
records of the Company, was the owner of the interest on the last day of the
Fiscal Year during which the Transfer occurs.  Neither the Company nor the
Board shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.2(e), whether or not the
Company or the Board has knowledge of any Transfer of any interest.

          SECTION 9.8    REQUIRED AMENDMENTS; CONTINUATION.  If and to the
extent any Assignee is admitted as a Member pursuant to Section 9.6, this
Agreement shall be amended to admit such Assignee as a Member and to reflect
the elimination of the Transferring Member (or the reduction of such
Membership Interest) and (if and to the extent then required by the Act) a
certificate of amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission and
elimination (or reduction) shall be filed in accordance with the Act.  The
admission of any substitute Member pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be
deemed effective on the effective date of such amendment to this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.9    RESIGNATION.  No Member shall have the right to
resign or withdraw as a Member without the prior written Approval of the
Board, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
Any Member that resigns without the Approval of the Board in contravention of
this Section 9.9 shall be liable to the Company for all damages (including
all lost profits and special, indirect and consequential damages) directly or
indirectly caused by the resignation of such Member, and such Member shall be
entitled to receive the fair value of his, her or its Membership Interest as
of the date of his, her or its resignation (or, if less, the fair value of
his, her or its interest as of the winding-up of the Company), as
conclusively determined by the Board, only following the occurrence of the
winding-up of the Company.

          SECTION 9.10   NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS.  No Member shall be entitled to
any appraisal rights with respect to such Member's Membership Interest,
whether individually or as part of any class or group of Members, in the
event of a merger, consolidation, or other transaction involving the Company
or its securities unless such rights are expressly provided herein or by the
agreement of merger, agreement of consolidation or other document
effectuating such transaction.

          SECTION 9.11   VOID ASSIGNMENT.  Any Transfer by any Member in
contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual and shall not
bind or be recognized by the Company  or any other party.  In the event of
any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, the purported transferee
shall have no right to any profits, losses or distributions of the Company or
any other rights of a Member.

                    DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

          SECTION 10.1   DISSOLUTION.

          (A)   The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up
on the first to occur of the following:

          (i)   the Approval of the Board;

          (ii)  the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company
     under Section 18-802 of the Act;

          (iii) a Termination Event; and

          (iv)  the Termination Date.

The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, incapacity, bankruptcy or
dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates
the continued membership of a Member in the Company, shall not cause a
dissolution of the Company, and the Company shall continue in existence subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          (B)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections
6.3(B)(ii) or 6.3(C), the Company shall be dissolved if so elected by the Member
specified below following the occurrence of any of the following (each, a
"TERMINATION EVENT"):

          (i)   by CalEast, at any time after the date which is two years after
     the Formation Date, if:

                         (1)   CalEast is not then in default under this
                               Agreement; and

                         (2)   CRS fails to present to the Company at least
                               $200,000,000 of Proposed Investments which
                               conform to the Investment Criteria during the
                               two-year period commencing on the Formation
                               Date; or

          (ii)  by CalEast, at any time following expiration of the Commitment
     Period, provided that CalEast is not then in default under this Agreement;
     or

          (iii) by CRS, at any time after the date which is two years after the
     Formation Date, if:

                         (1)   CRS is not then in default under this Agreement;
     and

                                     -53-
<PAGE>

                         (2)   CRS has offered to the Company at least
                               $200,000,000 in Proposed Investments which
                               conform to the Investment Criteria during the
                               two-year period commencing on the Formation
                               Date, and the Company shall have failed to
                               approve at least $100,000,000 (the "REJECTION
                               THRESHOLD") of the Proposed Investments for
                               acquisition; provided, however, that Proposed
                               Investments which are not within the CalEast
                               Territory and are rejected by the Company
                               shall not count toward the Rejection
                               Threshold, unless: (i) such Proposed
                               Investment is a build-to-suit project for an
                               existing tenant of CNT or the Company; or (ii)
                               such Proposed Investment is part of a larger
                               portfolio of Proposed Investments the majority
                               of which (determined on the basis of gross
                               rentable area) are located within the CalEast
                               Territory.

          SECTION 10.2   LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION.  On dissolution of the
Company, the Board shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Officers
as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs
of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act.
The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense.  Until final
distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company's Officers
Properties with all of the power and authority of the Board.  The steps to be
accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:

          (A)   As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final
liquidation, the liquidator(s) shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a
recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company's assets,
liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which
the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

          (B)   The liquidator(s) shall cause the notice described in the Act to
be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the
manner described thereunder.

          (C)   The liquidator(s) shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company
funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including,
without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make
adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without
limitation, the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such
amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine).

          (D)   The balance, if any, of the Company's remaining assets shall be
distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.2.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5.5, items of income, gain, deduction and loss for the
final Taxable Year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members' Capital
Accounts in such a manner that the Members' positive Capital Account balances
shall be, immediately prior to the distribution pursuant to Section 10.2(D), in
such proportion.

                                     -54-
<PAGE>

Distributions pursuant to this Section 10.2(D) shall be made by the end of the
Taxable Year of the Company during which the liquidation occurs (or, if later,
90 days after the date of the liquidation).

The liquidator(s) shall cause only cash, evidences of indebtedness and other
securities to be distributed in any liquidation.  The distribution of cash
and/ or property to a Member in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 10.2 constitutes a complete return to such Member of its Capital
Contributions and a complete distribution to the Member of its interest in
the Company and all the Company's property and constitutes a compromise to
which all Members have consented within the meaning of the Act.  The
distribution of cash and/or property to an Assignee  who is not a Member in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 constitutes a complete
distribution to such Assignee of its interest in the Company and all the
Company's property and constitutes a compromise to which all Members have
consented within the meaning of the Act. To the extent that a Member returns
funds to the Company, it has no claim against any other Member for those
funds.

          SECTION 10.3   DEEMED DISTRIBUTION AND RECONTRIBUTION. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this ARTICLE X, in the event the Company is "liquidated"
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(G), the
Company's assets shall not be liquidated, the Company's liabilities shall not be
paid or discharged, and the Company's affairs shall not be wound up.  Instead,
the Company shall be deemed to have contributed its assets to a newly-created
limited liability company in exchange for such company's assumption of the
Company's liabilities and equity interests in such new company.  Immediately
thereafter, the Company shall be deemed to have distributed the new limited
liability company equity interests to the Members in accordance with their
Capital Accounts.

          SECTION 10.4   DEFICIT CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.  Notwithstanding any custom
or rule of law to the contrary, to the extent that any Member has a deficit
Capital Account balance, upon dissolution of the Company such deficit shall not
be an asset of the Company and such Members shall not be obligated to contribute
such amount to the Company to bring the balance of such Member's Capital Account
to zero.

          SECTION 10.5   CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATE.  On completion of the
distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated,
and shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to Section 2.1 and
take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company.

          SECTION 10.6   TAX DEFERRAL.  If so requested in writing by CRS,
CalEast shall cooperate with CRS in facilitating one or more tax deferred
exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code or other tax deferred transaction
or transactions by CRS in connection with the sale of any Company Property and
the winding-up and liquidation of the Company, provided, however, that CalEast
shall not be required hereby to:  (i) incur costs or liabilities other than
costs and liabilities incurred in a sale of the Company Property or Properties
in question for cash in the ordinary course; or (ii) accept as consideration for
such sale or other disposition any medium of payment other than cash; or (iii)
materially delay receipt of its consideration as a result of its cooperation.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                        GENERAL/MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

          SECTION 11.1   OFFSET.  Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any
Member, any amounts that such Member owes to the Company may be deducted from
that sum before payment; provided that the full amount that would otherwise be
distributed shall be debited from the Member's Capital Account pursuant to
Section 4.1.

          SECTION 11.2   WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS.  Each Member irrevocably
waives any right it may have to demand any distributions or withdrawal of
property from the Company or to maintain any action for dissolution (except
pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Act) of the Company or for partition of the
property of the Company.

          SECTION 11.3   INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR PAYMENTS ON
BEHALF OF A MEMBER.  If the Company is obligated to pay any amount to a
governmental agency (or otherwise makes a payment) because of a Member's status
or otherwise specifically attributable to a Member (including, without
limitation, federal, state or local withholding taxes imposed with respect to
any issuance of Membership Interests to a Member or any payments to a Member,
federal withholding taxes with respect to foreign Persons, state personal
property taxes, state personal property replacement taxes, state unincorporated
business taxes, etc.), then such Member (the "INDEMNIFYING MEMBER") shall
indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including, without
limitation, any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments).
At the option of the Board, either:

          (A)  promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the
Company, the Indemnifying Member shall make a cash payment to the Company equal
to the full amount to be indemnified (provided that the amount paid shall not be
treated as a Capital Contribution); or

          (B)  the Company shall reduce distributions that would otherwise be
made to the Indemnifying Member, until the Company has recovered the amount to
be indemnified (provided that the amount of such reduction shall be deemed to
have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement).

An Indemnifying Member's obligation to make contributions to the Company under
this Section 11.3 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and
winding up of the Company and, for purposes of this Section 11.3, the Company
shall be treated as continuing in existence.  The Company may pursue and enforce
all rights and remedies it may have against each Indemnifying Member under this
Section 11.3, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with
interest calculated at Prime Rate plus five percentage points per annum (but not
in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

                                     -56-

          SECTION 11.4   NOTICES.  Except as expressly set forth to the contrary
in this Agreement, all notices, demands or other communications to be given or
delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement must be in
writing and shall be deemed delivered:  (i) upon delivery if delivered in
person; (ii) if mailed by deposit in the United States mail, addressed to the
recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt
requested, or upon the date indicated in such return receipt; (iii) upon
transmission if sent via telecopier, with a confirmation copy sent via overnight
mail, provided that confirmation of such overnight delivery is received; or (iv)
one (1) business day after deposit with a national overnight courier provided
that confirmation of such overnight delivery is received.  All notices, requests
and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the address (or
facsimile number) given for that Member on SCHEDULE A, or such other address (or
facsimile number) as that Member may specify by notice to the other Members.
Any notice, request or consent to the Company or the Board must be given to the
Board or, if appointed, the secretary of the Company at the Company's chief
executive offices.  Whenever any notice is required to be given by law or this
Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
the giving of such notice.

          SECTION 11.5   PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS.  No Member shall make any public
announcement or filing with respect to the transactions provided for herein
without the prior Approval of the Board, unless such party has been advised by
counsel such disclosure is required by applicable law.  To the extent reasonably
feasible, any press release or other announcement or notice regarding the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made by the Board or any
other party designated by the Board.

          SECTION 11.6   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement and other written
agreements among the Members and their Affiliates relating to the Company of
even date herewith constitute the entire agreement among the Members relating to
the Company and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the
Company, whether oral or written.

          SECTION 11.7   EFFECT OF WAIVER OR CONSENT.  A waiver or consent,
express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the
performance by that Person of its obligations hereunder or with respect to the
Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the
performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person
hereunder or with respect to the Company.  Failure on the part of a Person to
complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default hereunder
or with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues,
does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that
default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

          SECTION 11.8   AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION.  This Agreement and any
provision hereof may be amended or modified from time to time only by a written
instrument Approved by the Board; provided, however, that an amendment or
modification reducing the required interest for any consent or vote in this
Agreement shall be effective only with the consent or vote of Members having the
interest theretofore required.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
Board may amend and

                                     -57-
<PAGE>

modify the provisions of this Agreement (including ARTICLE V) and SCHEDULE A
hereto to the extent necessary to reflect the admission or substitution of
any Member permitted under this Agreement.

          SECTION 11.9   SEVERABILITY.  Should any provision of this Agreement
be held to be enforceable only if modified, such holding shall not affect the
validity of the remainder of this Agreement, the balance of which shall continue
to be binding upon each Member with any such modification to become a part
hereof and treated as though originally set forth in this Agreement.  The
Members further agree that any court or arbitrator is expressly authorized to
modify any such unenforceable provision of this Agreement in lieu of severing
such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by
rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending
provision, adding additional language to this Agreement, or by making such other
modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the
Members as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The Members
expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified shall be binding upon and
enforceable against each of them.  In any event, should one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect under applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and
if such provision or provisions are not modified as provided above, this
Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions had never been set forth herein.

          SECTION 11.10  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Except as otherwise provided
herein, this Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns.

          SECTION 11.11  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  In connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver
any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this
Agreement and those transactions.

          SECTION 11.12  NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF PROVISIONS.  By executing this
Agreement, each Member acknowledges that it has actual notice of (a) all of the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the restrictions on the
transfer set forth in ARTICLE IX) and (b) all of the provisions of the
Certificate.

          SECTION 11.13  REMEDIES.  The Company and the Members shall be
entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover
damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement (including
costs of enforcement) and to exercise any and all other rights at law or at
equity existing in their favor.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that
money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of
this Agreement (and thus waive as defense that there is an adequate remedy at
law), and that the Company or any Member may in his, her or its sole discretion
apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific
performance or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in
order to enforce or prevent any violation or threatened violation of the
provisions of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

          SECTION 11.14  THIRD PARTIES.  Nothing herein expressed or implied is
intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity,
other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

          SECTION 11.15  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL
BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE EXCLUDING ANY
CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.  In the event
of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any provision
of the Certificate or any mandatory provision of the Act, the applicable
provision of the Certificate or the Act shall control.  If any provision of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected
thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by
law.

          SECTION 11.16  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  The parties to this Agreement
each hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial
of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this
Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the
dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the
transactions related hereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter
arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise.  The parties to
this Agreement each hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand,
action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and
that the parties to this Agreement may file an original counterpart of a copy of

               2000 OMNIBUS EMPLOYEE RETENTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

                                    ARTICLE I

                                     GENERAL

1.1      PURPOSE

CenterPoint Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the
"Company"), hereby adopts, subject to shareholder approval, this plan which
shall be known as the CenterPoint Properties Trust 2000 OMNIBUS EMPLOYEE
RETENTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to foster
and promote the long-term financial success of the Company and materially
increase shareholder value by: (a) strengthening the Company's capability to
develop, maintain, and direct an outstanding management team; (b) motivating
superior performance by means of long-term performance related incentives; (c)
encouraging and providing for obtaining an ownership interest in the Company;
(d) attracting and retaining outstanding executive talent by providing incentive
compensation opportunities competitive with other major companies; and (e)
enabling executives to participate in the long-term growth and financial success
of the Company.

1.2      ADMINISTRATION

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Stock Option Committee of the Board of
Trustees of the Company or such other committee of trustees as is designated by
the Board of Trustees of the Company (the "Committee"), which shall consist of
two or more members. Each member shall be a "Non-employee Director" as that
term is defined by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") or any similar rule which may subsequently be in
effect ("Rule 16b-3") and shall be an "outside director" within the meaning of
Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be
amended from time to time (the "Code"). The members shall be appointed by the
Board of Trustees, and any vacancy on the Committee shall be filled by the Board
of Trustees.

(b) Subject to the limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall have the sole
and complete authority to: (i) select from the regular full-time employees of
the Company those who shall participate in the Plan (a "Participant" or
"Participants"); (ii) make awards in such forms and amounts as it shall
determine; (iii) impose such limitations, restrictions and conditions upon such
awards as it shall deem appropriate; (iv) interpret the Plan and adopt, amend
and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating
to the Plan; (v) correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency
in this Plan or in any award granted hereunder; and (vi) make all other
determinations and take all other actions deemed necessary or advisable for the
implementation and administration

<PAGE>

of the Plan. The Committee's determinations on matters within its authority
shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and all other persons.

(c) All expenses associated with the Plan shall be borne by the Company subject
to such allocation to its subsidiaries and operating units as it deems
appropriate.

(d) The Committee may delegate any of its authority hereunder to such persons as
it deems appropriate.

1.3      SELECTION FOR PARTICIPATION

In selecting Participants and in determining the form and amount of awards, the
Committee may give consideration to the functions and responsibilities of the
employee; the employee's past, present and potential contributions to the
Company's profitability and sound growth; the value of the employee's services
to the Company; and other factors deemed relevant by the Committee. Grants may
be made to the same individual on more than one occasion.

1.4      TYPES OF AWARDS UNDER PLAN

Awards under the Plan may be in the form of any one or more of the following:
(a) Statutory Stock Options ("ISOs", which term shall be deemed to include
Incentive Stock Options as defined in Section 2.5 and any future type of tax-
qualified option which may subsequently be authorized), Non-statutory Stock
Options ("NSOs" and, collectively with ISOs, "Options") and Share Appreciation
Rights ("SARs") as described in Article II; (b) Performance Units and
Performance Shares ("Performance Units" and "Performance Shares") as described
in Article III; and (c) Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Equivalents
("Restricted Shares" and "Restricted Share Equivalents") as described in Article
IV (collectively, "Awards").

1.5      SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

Shares covered by Awards under the Plan may be in whole or in part authorized
and unissued or treasury shares of the Trust's common shares, $.001 par value
per share, or such other shares as may be substituted pursuant to Section 6.2
("Common Shares"). The maximum number of shares of Common Shares which may be
issued for all purposes under the Plan shall be 1,200,000 shares (subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 6.2). For purposes of calculating the number of
outstanding Common Shares, all classes of securities that are convertible
presently or in the future into Common Shares are deemed to be outstanding
Common Shares equal to the number of Common Shares into which such securities
are convertible, and no subsequent reduction in the number of outstanding Common
Shares (other than as a result of a reverse share split or similar
recapitalization) will reduce the number of Common Shares previously made
available for option grants under the Plan. Any shares of Common Shares subject
to an Option which for any reason is canceled (excluding shares subject to an
Option canceled upon the exercise of a related SAR to the extent shares are
issued upon

<PAGE>

exercise of such SAR) or terminated without having been exercised, or any shares
of Restricted Shares or Performance Awards which are forfeited, shall again be
available for Awards under the Plan.

1.6      MAXIMUM AWARDS PER PARTICIPANT

The aggregate number of shares of Common Shares that a Participant may be
granted in any form in any given year shall not exceed 250,000 shares or the
cash equivalent thereof.

                                   ARTICLE II

                   SHARE OPTIONS AND SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

2.1      AWARD OF SHARE OPTIONS

The Committee may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and
such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe, award to any
Participant ISOs and NSOs to purchase Common Shares.

2.2      SHARE OPTION AGREEMENTS

The award of an Option shall be evidenced by a signed written agreement (a
"Share Option Agreement") containing such terms and conditions as the Committee
may from time to time determine.

2.3      OPTION PRICE

The purchase price of Common Shares under each Option (the "Option Price") shall
be the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date the Option is awarded.

2.4      EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS

(a) Options awarded under the Plan shall be exercisable at such times and be
subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall approve,
either at the time of grant of such Options or pursuant to a general
determination, and which need not be the same for all Participants, provided
that no such Option shall be exercisable within the first twelve months of its
term. Each Option that is intended to qualify as an ISO pursuant to Section 422
of the Code, and each Option that is intended to qualify as another type of ISO
that may subsequently be authorized by law, shall comply with the applicable
provisions of the Code pertaining to such Options.

(b) The Committee shall establish procedures governing the exercise of Options
and shall require that written notice of exercise be given and that the Option
Price be paid in full in cash (including check, bank draft or money order) at
the time of exercise; provided, however, that such Option Price may be paid
within six business days of the time of exercise, if the Participant instructs
the Corporation to sell shares delivered on exercise as the Participant's agent
pursuant to a "cashless

<PAGE>

exercise" program or other similar program established by the Committee. The
Committee may permit a Participant, in lieu of part or all of the cash payment,
to make payment in Common Shares already owned by that Participant, valued at
Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, as partial or full payment of the
Option Price; provided, however, that the Committee may, in any instance, in
order to prevent any possible violation of law, require the Option Price to be
paid in cash. As soon as practicable after receipt of each notice and full
payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a certificate or
certificates representing the acquired shares of Common Shares. The exercise of
an Option shall cancel any related SAR to the extent of the number of shares as
to which the Option is exercised.

2.5      LIMITATIONS ON ISOS

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent required
from time to time by the Code, the following additional provisions shall apply
to the grant of Options which are intended to qualify as ISOs (as such term is
defined in Section 422 of the Code):

(a) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Option is
granted) of the shares of Common Shares with respect to which ISOs are
exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount
as may subsequently be specified by the Code; provided that, to the extent that
such limitation is exceeded, any excess Options (as determined under the Code)
shall be deemed to be NSOs.

(b) Any ISO authorized under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the
Committee shall deem advisable, but shall in all events be consistent with and
contain or be deemed to contain all provisions required in order to qualify the
Options as ISOs.

(c) All ISOs must be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date on
which this Plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees or the date this Plan was
approved by the shareholders.

(d) Unless sooner exercised, terminated or canceled, all ISOs shall expire no
later than ten years after the date of grant.

2.6      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

In the event the Participant ceases to be an employee with the consent of the
Committee or upon the Participant's death, retirement or disability, each of the
Participant's outstanding Options shall be exercisable by the Participant (or
the Participant's legal representative or designated beneficiary), to the extent
that such Option was then exercisable, at any time prior to an expiration date
established by the Committee at the time of award (which may be the original
expiration date of such Option or such earlier time as the Committee may
establish), but in no event after its respective expiration date; provided that
NSOs may be exercised up to one year after the death of a Participant even if
this is beyond their expiration date. If the Participant ceases to be an
employee for any other reason, all of the Participant's then outstanding Options
shall terminate immediately.

<PAGE>

2.7      AWARD OF SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

(a) GENERAL. A SAR is a right to receive, without payment (except for applicable
withholding taxes) to the Company, a number of shares of Common Shares, cash or
a combination thereof, the amount of which is determined pursuant to the formula
set forth in Section 2.7(e). A SAR may be granted (i) with respect to any Option
granted under this Plan, either concurrently with the grant of such Option, or
at such later time as determined by the Committee (as to all or any portion of
the shares of Common Shares subject to the Option); (ii) with respect to any
share option currently outstanding under other incentive plans of the
Corporation (as to all or any portion of the shares subject to the share
option), on terms established by the Committee; or (iii) alone, without
reference to any related share option. Each SAR granted by the Committee under
this Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.

(b) NUMBER. Each SAR granted to any Participant shall relate to such number of
shares of Common Shares as shall be determined by the Committee, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 6.2. In the case of a SAR granted with respect
to a share option, the number of shares of Common Shares to which the SAR
pertains shall be reduced in the same proportion that the holder of the option
exercises the related share option.

(c) DURATION. The term of each SAR shall be determined by the Committee but in
no event shall a SAR be exercisable during the first year of its term. Subject
to the foregoing, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, each SAR shall
become exercisable at such time or times, to such extent and upon such
conditions as the share option, if any, to which it relates is exercisable.

(d) EXERCISE. A SAR may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written
notice to the Company, specifying the number of SARs which the holder wishes to
exercise. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Company shall, within 90 days
thereafter, deliver to the exercising holder a certificate for the shares of
Common Shares or cash or both, as determined by the Committee, to which the
holder is entitled. No SAR granted to an Officer may be exercised in whole or in
part for cash except during the period described in Section 6.3(c)(ii)(1)
hereof.

(e) PAYMENT. Subject to the right of the Committee to deliver cash in lieu of
shares of Common Shares, the number of shares of Common Shares which shall be
issuable upon the exercise of a SAR shall be determined by dividing:

         (i) the number of shares of Common Shares as to which the SAR is
         exercised multiplied by the amount of the appreciation in such shares
         (for this purpose, the "appreciation" shall be the amount by which the
         Fair Market Value of a share of Common Shares subject to the SAR on the
         exercise date exceeds (A) in the case of a SAR related to a share
         option, the purchase price of a share of Common Shares under the share
         option or (B) in the case of a SAR granted alone, without reference to
         a related share option, an amount which shall be determined by the
         Committee at the time of grant, provided, however, such amount is at
         least equal to the Fair

<PAGE>

         Market Value of the Common Shares on the date the SAR is awarded,
         (subject to adjustment under Section 6.2)); by

         (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Shares on the exercise
         date.

In lieu of issuing shares of Common Shares upon the exercise of a SAR, the
Committee may elect to pay the holder of the SAR cash equal to the Fair Market
Value on the exercise date of any or all of the shares which would otherwise be
issuable. No fractional shares of Common Shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of a SAR; instead, the holder of the SAR shall be entitled to receive a
cash adjustment equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Common Shares on the exercise date or to purchase the portion necessary to
make a whole share at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

(f) AGREEMENT. SARs awarded under the Plan shall be evidenced by either a Share
Option Agreement or a separate signed written agreement between the Company and
a Participant.

                                   ARTICLE III

                          PERFORMANCE SHARES AND UNITS

3.1      AWARD OF PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

The Committee may award to any Participant Performance Shares and Performance
Units ("Performance Awards"). Each Performance Share shall represent one share
of Common Shares. Each Performance Unit shall represent the right of a
Participant to receive an amount equal to the value determined in the manner
established by the Committee at the time of award, which value may, without
limitation, be equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Shares.

3.2      PERFORMANCE UNIT AND PERFORMANCE SHARE AGREEMENTS

Each Performance Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a signed written
agreement containing such terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to
time determine.

3.3      ESTABLISHMENT OF PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTS

At the time of award, the Company shall establish an account (a "Performance
Account") for each Participant. Performance Units and Performance Shares awarded
to a Participant shall be credited to the Participant's Performance Account.

3.4      PERFORMANCE PERIOD AND TARGETS

(a) The performance period for each award of Performance Shares and Performance
Units shall be of such duration as the Committee shall establish at the time of
award; provided, however, that in

<PAGE>

no event will the performance period be less than one year (the "Performance
Period"). There may be more than one award in existence at any one time and
Performance Periods may differ.

(b) The Committee shall set performance targets relating to Performance Units
and Performance Shares which shall be based on one or more of the following
performance measures: share price, market share, increase in sales, earnings per
share, return on equity, cost reductions, economic value added, or any other
performance measure the Committee deems appropriate. With respect to any awards
the Committee intends to qualify for the performance based exception under Code
Section 162(m), performance targets shall be established in writing by the
Committee no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the commencement of the
Performance Period with respect to which the award of Performance Units or
Performance Shares is made and (ii) the date as of which twenty-five percent
(25%) of such Performance Period has elapsed. At the time of setting performance
targets, the Committee shall establish superior and satisfactory performance
targets to be achieved within the Performance Period. Failure to meet the
satisfactory performance target will earn no Performance Award. Performance
Awards will be earned as determined by the Committee in respect of a Performance
Period in relation to the degree of attainment of performance between the
superior and satisfactory performance targets.

3.5      PAYMENT RESPECTING PERFORMANCE AWARDS

(a) Performance Awards shall be earned to the extent that their terms and
conditions are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Performance Awards and any
other amounts credited to the Participant's Performance Account shall be payable
to the Participant only in accordance with the related written agreement or
otherwise when, if, and to the extent the Committee determines to make such
payment. All payment determinations shall be made by the Committee during the
first four months following the end of the Performance Period.

(b) The Participant may elect to defer any payment respecting a Performance
Award pursuant to Article V hereof.

(c) Payment for Performance Awards may be made in a lump sum or in installments,
in cash, Common Shares or in a combination thereof as the Committee may
determine.

3.6      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

If the Participant ceases to be an employee before the end of any Performance
Period with the consent of the Committee or upon the Participant's death,
retirement or disability before the end of any Performance Period, the
Committee, taking into consideration the performance of such Participant and the
performance of the Company over the Performance Period, may authorize the
payment to such Participant (or the Participant's legal representative or
designated beneficiary) of all or a portion of the amount which would have been
paid to the Participant had the Participant continued as an employee to the end
of the Performance Period. If a Participant ceases to be an employee for any
other reason, any unpaid amounts for outstanding Performance Periods shall be
forfeited.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                RESTRICTED SHARE AND RESTRICTED SHARE EQUIVALENTS

4.1      AWARD OF RESTRICTED SHARES

The Committee may award to any Participant shares of Common Shares, subject to
this Article IV and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may
prescribe (such shares being herein called "Restricted Shares"). Each
certificate for Restricted Shares shall be registered in the name of the
Participant and deposited by the Participant, together with a shares power
endorsed in blank, with the Company.

4.2      RESTRICTED SHARE AGREEMENT

Shares of Restricted Share awarded under the Plan shall be evidenced by a signed
written agreement containing such terms and conditions as the Committee may from
time to time determine.

4.3      RESTRICTION PERIOD

At the time of award there shall be established for each Participant, subject to
Paragraph 4.6, a restriction period (the "Restriction Period") which shall lapse
(a) upon the completion of a period of time ("Time Goal") as shall be determined
by the Committee, or (b) upon the achievement of performance goals within
certain time limitations ("Performance/Time Goal") as shall be determined by the
Committee; provided that such Time Goal shall last at least until the third year
anniversary of the date of the award or the Performance/Time Goal shall last at
least until the second year anniversary of the date of the award. Shares of
Restricted Share may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered, except as hereinafter provided, during the Restriction Period.
Except for such restrictions on transfer, the Participant as owner of such
shares of Restricted Share shall have all the rights of a holder of Common
Shares. With respect to shares of Restricted Share which are issued subject to a
Time Goal, the Company shall redeliver to the Participant (or the Participant's
legal representative or designated beneficiary) the certificates deposited
pursuant to Section 4.1 at the expiration of the Restriction Period. With
respect to shares of Restricted Share which are issued subject to a
Performance/Time Goal, the Company shall redeliver to the Participant (or the
Participant's legal representative or designated beneficiary) the certificates
deposited pursuant to Section 4.1 upon the achievement of the performance goal
on or before the close of the Restriction Period. With respect to shares of
Restricted Share which are issued subject to a Performance/Time Goal which fail
to meet the goal before the end of the restriction period, all such shares shall
be forfeited, and the Company shall have the right to complete a blank share
power in order to return such shares to the Company.

4.4      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

<PAGE>

(a) In the event the Participant ceases to be an employee with the consent of
the Committee or upon the Participant's death, retirement or disability before
the end of the Restriction Period and the Participant has received an award
subject to a Time Goal, the restrictions imposed under this Article IV shall
lapse with respect to such number of those shares subject to a Time Goal as
shall be determined by the Committee, but, in no event less than a number equal
to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
completed months elapsed after the date of award of the Restricted Shares
subject to a Time Goal to the Participant to the date of termination and the
denominator of which is the number of months in the Restriction Period,
multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Restricted Shares subject to a Time
Goal.

(b) In the event the Participant ceases to be an employee with the consent of
the Committee or upon the Participant's death, retirement or disability before
the end of the Restriction Period and the Participant has received an award
subject to a Performance/Time Goal, the restrictions imposed under this Article
IV shall lapse upon the achievement of the Performance/Time Goal within two
years of the Participant's termination of employment with respect to such number
of those shares subject to a Performance/Time Goal as shall be determined by the
Committee, but, in no event, less than a number equal to the product of (a) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed months elapsed after
the date of award of the Restricted Shares subject to a Performance/Time Goal to
the Participant to the date of termination of the Participant and the
denominator of which is the number of months elapsed after the date of award of
the Restricted Shares subject to a Performance/Time Goal to the Participant to
the date of achievement of the Performance/Time Goal, multiplied by (b) the
number of shares of Restricted Shares subject to a Performance/Time Goal.

(c) In the event the Participant ceases to be an employee for any other reason,
all shares of Restricted Shares theretofore awarded to that Participant which
are still subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and the Company shall have
the right to complete the blank share power.

4.5      AWARD OF RESTRICTED SHARE EQUIVALENTS

In lieu of or in addition to the foregoing Restricted Shares Awards, the
Committee may award to any Participant restricted share equivalents, subject to
the terms and conditions of Paragraphs 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 of this Article IV
being applied to such awards as if those awards were for Restricted Share and
subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe
("Restricted Share Equivalents"). Each Restricted Share Equivalent shall
represent the right of the Participant to receive an amount determined in the
manner established by the Committee at the time of award, which value may,
without limitation, be equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Shares. Payment for Restricted Share Equivalents may be made in a lump sum or
installments, in cash, Common Share or in a combination thereof as the Committee
may determine.

5.1      ELECTION TO DEFER

A Participant may elect, with the consent of the Committee, no later than
December 31 of the last full calendar year of the Performance Period, to defer
all or a portion of the Participant's Performance Award within deferral limits
established by the Committee, and the Committee may permit or require the
deferral of any other Award payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it
may establish (the "Deferred Amount"). The Committee may permit amounts now or
hereafter deferred or available for deferral under any present or future
incentive compensation program or deferral arrangement of the Company to be
deemed Deferred Amounts and to become subject to the provisions of this Article.
All Deferred Amounts will be subject to such terms and conditions and shall
accrue such yield thereon (which may be measured by the Fair Market Value of the
Common Shares and dividends thereon) as the Committee may from time to time
establish.

5.2      DEFERRAL PERIOD

The Participant may, with the consent of the Committee, elect to receive payment
of Deferred Amounts and any yield thereon either before or after retirement in a
lump sum or in installments. Upon the death of a Participant, payments of any
amounts hereunder shall be made to the Participant's designated beneficiary
(pursuant to Section 6.13) or estate (in the absence of a designated
beneficiary) in the manner elected by the Participant or (in the event the
Participant made no election) in the manner determined by the Committee. The
period between the date the Participant's Deferred Amount becomes payable and
the final payment of such Deferred Amount hereunder shall be known as the
"Deferral Period."

5.3      PARTICIPANT REPORTS

Annually, each Participant who has a Deferred Amount will receive a report
setting forth all then Deferred Amounts and the yield thereon to date.

5.4      PAYMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS

Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Participant, payment of Deferred
Amounts may be in cash, Common Shares or partly in cash and partly in Common
Shares, as the Committee shall determine.

5.5      ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish a trust to hold Deferred
Amounts or any portion thereof for the benefit of Participants.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

6.1      NON-TRANSFERABILITY

Except as provided below, no Award under the Plan (including any Deferred
Amount), and no interest therein, shall be transferable by the Participant
otherwise than by will or, if the Participant dies intestate, by the laws of
descent and distribution. All Awards shall be exercisable or received during the
Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or his legal representative.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may from time to time permit Awards
to be transferable to members of Participants' immediate families, subject to
such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose.

Any transfer contrary to this Section 6.1 will nullify the Award.

6.2      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CERTAIN CHANGES:

In the event of a share dividend or share split, or combination or other
increase or reduction in the number of issued shares of Common Shares, the Board
of Trustees or the Committee may, in order to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of rights under Awards (including any Deferred Amounts), make such
adjustments in the number of shares authorized by this Plan, the number and type
of shares covered by, or with respect to which payments are measured under,
outstanding Awards and the exercise prices specified therein as may be
determined to be appropriate and equitable. The Committee may, notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, provide in the agreement
evidencing any Award (including Deferred Amounts) or, provide through unilateral
action of the Committee for adjustments to such Award in order to prevent the
dilution or enlargement of rights thereunder, to provide for substitute
consideration thereunder or to provide for acceleration of benefits thereunder
in the event of a change in control, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, sale or exchange of substantially all assets or dissolution of
or spin-off or similar transaction by the Company.

6.3      TAX WITHHOLDING

(a) The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any withholding or other
tax due from the Corporation with respect to any amount payable and/or shares
issuable under the Plan, and the Corporation may defer such payment or issuance
unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

(b) Subject to the consent of the Committee, due to (i) the exercise of a NSO,
(ii) lapse of restrictions on a Restricted Share Award or (iii) the issuance of
any other shares award under the Plan, a Participant may make an irrevocable
election (an "Election") to (A) have shares of Common Shares otherwise issuable
under (i) withheld, or (B) tender back to the Company shares of Common Shares
received pursuant to (i), (ii) or (iii), or (C) deliver back to the Company
pursuant to (i), (ii) or (iii)

<PAGE>

previously-acquired shares of Common Shares having a Fair Market Value
sufficient to satisfy all or part of the Participant's estimated tax obligations
associated with the transaction. Such Election must be made by a Participant
prior to the date on which the relevant tax obligation arises (the "Tax Date").
The Committee may disapprove of any Election, may suspend or terminate the right
to make Elections, or may provide with respect to any Award under this Plan that
the right to make Elections shall not apply to such Awards.

6.4      CONDITIONS ON AWARDS

In the event that the employment of a Participant holding any unexercised Option
or SAR, any unearned Performance Award, any unearned shares of Restricted Shares
or any unearned Restricted Share Equivalents shall terminate with the consent of
the Committee or by reason of retirement or disability, the rights of such
Participant to any such Award shall be subject to the conditions that until any
such Option or SAR is exercised, or any such Performance Award, share of
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Equivalent is earned, the Participant
shall (a) not engage, either directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity
as advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, member of
any association or otherwise, in any business or activity which is at the time
competitive with any business or activity conducted by the Company and (b) be
available, unless the Participant shall have died, at reasonable times for
consultations (which shall not require substantial time or effort and for which
the Company shall reimburse the Participant's reasonable out of pocket expenses)
at the request of the Company's management with respect to phases of the
business with which the Participant was actively connected during the
Participant's employment, but such consultations shall not (except in the case
of a Participant whose active service was outside of the United States) be
required to be performed at any place or places outside of the United States of
America or during usual vacation periods or periods of illness or other
incapacity. In the event that either of the above conditions is not fulfilled,
the Participant shall forfeit all rights to any unexercised Option or SAR,
Performance Award, shares of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Equivalents
held as on the date of the breach of condition. Any determination by the Board
of Trustees of the Company, which shall act upon the recommendation of the
Chairman, that the Participant is, or has, engaged in a competitive business or
activity as aforesaid or has not been available for consultations as aforesaid
shall be conclusive. In addition, in the event that a Participant engages in
such a competitive business or activity within two years after any such
termination of employment, the Participant will, unless the Committee waives
this requirement, pay to the Company all after-tax economic benefits realized
previously by the Participant from Awards.

6.5      AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

The Board of Trustees may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof
at any time and may amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board of
Trustees may deem advisable in order that any Awards thereunder shall conform to
or otherwise reflect any change in applicable laws or regulations, or to permit
the Company or its employees to enjoy the benefits of any change in applicable
laws or regulations, or in any other respect the Board of Trustees may deem to
be in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall, without shareholder

<PAGE>

approval to the extent required by law, agreement or the rules of any exchange
upon which the Common Shares is listed, (i) except as provided in Section 6.2,
materially increase the number of shares of Common Shares which may be issued
under the Plan, (ii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan, (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to
Participants under the Plan or (iv) extend the termination date of the Plan. No
such amendment, suspension or termination shall impair the rights of
Participants under outstanding Options, SARs, Performance Awards, awards of
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Equivalents, Performance Accounts or
Deferred Amounts without the consent of the Participants affected thereby.

6.6      FOREIGN ALTERNATIVES

Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Plan, in the case of any Award
(including any Deferred Amount) to any Participant who is an employee of a
foreign Subsidiary or foreign branch of the Company or held by a Participant who
is in any other category specified by the Committee, the Committee may specify
that such Award shall not be represented by shares of Common Shares or other
securities but shall be represented by rights approximately equivalent (as
determined by the Committee) to the rights that such Participant would have
received if shares of Common Shares or other securities had been issued in the
name of such Participant otherwise in accordance with the Plan (such rights
being hereinafter called "Share Equivalents"). The Share Equivalents
representing any such Award may subsequently, at the option of the Committee, be
converted into cash or an equivalent number of shares of Common Shares or other
securities under such circumstances and in such manner as the Committee may
determine.

6.7      DEFINITIONS AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) The terms "retirement" and "disability" as used under the Plan shall be
construed by reference to the provisions of the pension plan or other similar
plan or program of the Company applicable to a Participant.

(b) The term "Fair Market Value" as it relates to Common Shares on any given
date means (i) the mean of the high and low sales prices of the Common Shares as
reported by the Composite Tape of the New York Stock Exchange (or, if not so
reported, on any domestic stock exchanges on which the Common Shares is then
listed); or (ii) if the Common Shares is not listed on any domestic stock
exchange, the mean of the high and low sales prices of the Common Shares as
reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on such date or the last previous date
reported (or, if not so reported, by the system then regarded as the most
reliable source of such quotations) or, if there are no reported sales on such
date, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices as so reported; of (iii) if
the Common Shares is listed on a domestic exchange or quoted in the domestic
over-the-counter market, but there are not reported sales or quotations, as the
case may be, on the given date, the value determined pursuant to (i) or (ii)
above using the reported sale prices or quotations on the last previous date on
which so reported; or (iv) if none of the foregoing clauses apply, the fair
value as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Trustees or the
Committee.

<PAGE>

(c) The term "Subsidiary" shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, any
corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations
beginning with the Company if each of the corporations other than the last
corporation in such chain owns shares possessing at least 20% of the voting
power in one of the other corporations in such chain.

(d) The adoption of the Plan shall not preclude the adoption by appropriate
means of any other share option or other incentive plan for employees.

6.8      NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS

The Committee's determinations under the Plan, including without limitation, (a)
the determination of the Participants to receive Awards, (b) the form, amount
and timing of such Awards, (c) the terms and provisions of such Awards and (d)
the agreements evidencing the same, need not be uniform and may be made by it
selectively among Participants who receive, or who are eligible to receive,
Awards under the Plan, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

6.9      SUSPENSIONS, LEAVES OF ABSENCE, AND TRANSFERS

The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules, regulations and
determinations as it deems appropriate under the Plan with respect to any
suspension of employment or leave of absence from the Company granted to a
Participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee
shall be entitled to determine (a) whether or not any such suspension or leave
of absence shall be treated as if the Participant ceased to be an employee and
(b) the impact, if any, of any such suspension or leave of absence on Awards
under the Plan. In the event a Participant transfers within the Company, such
Participant shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee for purposes of
the Plan.

6.10     LISTING, REGISTRATION, AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Each Award (including Deferred Amounts) shall be subject to the requirement that
if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the
listing, registration, or qualification of such Award, or any shares of Common
Shares or other property subject thereto, upon any securities exchange or under
any foreign, federal or state securities or other law or regulation, or the
consent or approval of any governmental body or the taking of any other action
to comply with or otherwise with respect to any such law or regulation, is
necessary or desirable as a condition to or in connection with the granting of
such Award or the issue, delivery or purchase of shares of Common Shares or
other property thereunder, no such Award may be exercised or paid in Common
Shares or other property unless such listing, registration, qualification,
consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The holder of the Award will
supply the Company with such certificates, representations and information as
the Company shall request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company in
effecting or obtaining such listing, registration, qualification, consent,
approval or other action. In the case of Officers and other persons subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee may at any time impose any
limitations upon the exercise, delivery or payment of any Award (including
Deferred Amounts) which, in the

<PAGE>

discretion of the Committee, are necessary or desirable in order to comply with
Section 16 and the rules and regulations thereunder. If the Company, as part of
an offering of securities or otherwise, finds it desirable because of foreign,
federal or state legal or regulatory requirements to reduce the period during
which Options or SARs may be exercised, the Committee may, in its discretion and
without the holders' consent, so reduce such period on not less than 15 days
prior written notice to the holders thereof.

6.11     LOANS

The Committee may provide for the Company to make loans or guarantee to finance
the exercise of any Option as well as the estimated or actual amount of any
taxes payable by the holder as a result of the exercise or payment of any Option
and may prescribe, or may empower the Company to prescribe, the other terms and
conditions (including but not limited to the interest rate, maturity date and
whether the loan will be secured or unsecured) of any such loan; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all loans made pursuant to this
provision shall include an interest rate on the outstanding balance of the loan
at a rate of at least the then prevailing rate the Company would be charged by
an unaffiliated lender for a loan of a similar nature and maturity.

6.12     INDEMNIFICATION

Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost,
liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by that
person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding to which that person may be a party or in which that person may be
involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and
against and from any and all amounts paid by that person in settlement thereof,
with the Company's approval, or paid by that person in satisfaction of any
judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against that person, provided
that person shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle
and defend the same before that person undertakes to handle and defend it on
that person's own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be
entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a
matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify
them or hold them harmless.

6.13     BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

Each Participant under the Plan may name, from time to time, any beneficiary or
beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any
benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of the Participant's death before
the Participant receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation will
revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form
prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the
Participant in writing with the Committee during the Participant's lifetime. In
the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the
Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate.

<PAGE>

6.14     RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the
Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon
any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any
period of time or to continue the Participant's present or any other rate of
compensation. No employee shall have a right to be selected as a Participant,
or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.

6.15     REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, GOVERNING LAW

The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Common Shares shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by
any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The provisions of the Plan
shall be interpreted so as to comply with the conditions or requirements of Rule
16b-3 under the Exchange Act, unless a contrary interpretation of any such
provisions is otherwise required by applicable law.

6.16     EFFECTIVE DATE

The Plan shall, subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Shares present at the 2000 annual meeting of the Corporation's
shareholders, be deemed effective as of May 10, 2000. No awards of Options,
SARs, Performance Units, Performance Shares or shares of Restricted Shares or
Restricted Share Equivalents shall be made hereunder after July 31, 2003.
