parties hereby agree to use their  reasonable  commercial  efforts to market and
promote Fund II to potential third party investors  (including  Citibank Private
Banking  Clients) and to effectuate  the Fund II Initial  Closing on or prior to
December 31, 2000 (or the Extension  Date), or earlier if  practicable.

          (b) The  initial  closing of Fund II (the  "Fund II Initial  Closing")
shall take place promptly after the capital  commitments to Fund II aggregate at
least  $495,833,334,  which sum shall include the capital commitment pursuant to
the CIG Parties  Commitment  and shall include the capital  commitment of the CT
Parties  pursuant to the CT Parties  Commitment.  If the Fund II Initial Closing
occurs on or prior to December 31, 2000, or any Extension Date, then at the Fund
II Initial Closing:

               (i)  Limited  REMI II  shall  execute  and  deliver  the  Fund II
Partnership  Agreement  to the Fund II  General  Partner  and  shall  commit  to
contribute to the capital of Fund II pursuant to the CIG Parties Commitment, and
CT-F2-LP shall execute and deliver the Fund II Partnership Agreement to the Fund
II General  Partner  and shall  commit to  contribute  to the capital of Fund II
pursuant to the CT Parties Commitment;

               (ii) General REMI II and CT-F2-GP shall cause the Fund II General
Partner to execute and deliver the Fund II Partnership Agreement and all related
subscription agreements and other agreements and documents to be executed by the
Fund II General  Partner  pursuant to the Fund II Partnership  Agreement  (other
than the Fund II Investment Management

                                       16
<PAGE>

Agreement  which  shall be  executed  and  delivered  by and between the parties
thereto pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof);

               (iii)  If the  approval  by  CT's  stockholders  of  the  Warrant
Issuance  as provided in Section  2.3 has been  obtained,  CT shall  execute and
deliver a Fund II Purchase Warrant and a Fund II Service Warrant as set forth in
this Section  2.2(b) to CT-F2-GP,  in which case CT-F2-GP  shall  contribute the
Fund II Purchase  Warrant and the Fund II Service Warrant to the Fund II General
Partner,  that contain the right to purchase an aggregate number of shares of CT
Class A Common Stock  (subject to adjustment as provided  therein)  equal to (w)
500,000  (the "Base  Share  Number")  plus (x) the number  (the  "Initial  Share
Number")  obtained by multiplying  4,750,000 by the lesser of (a) one (1) or (b)
the  fraction  obtained  by  dividing  the sum of the  aggregate  dollar  amount
committed  by  the  CIG  Parties  and  the  aggregate   Private  Banking  Client
Commitments  made at the  Fund II  Initial  Closing  by  $250,000,000;  provided
however,  CT shall not be  obligated  to issue  pursuant to Sections  2.2(b) and
2.2(c)  warrants to  purchase  more than  5,250,000  shares of CT Class A Common
Stock in the aggregate.  CT shall issue a Fund II Purchase Warrant and a Fund II
Service  Warrant for subsequent  purchase or assignment,  as the case may be, as
follows.  The number of shares  issuable  upon  exercise of the Fund II Purchase
Warrant  that may be  purchased  by  General  REMI II from  the Fund II  General
Partner  pursuant  to the  Fund II  Warrant  Purchase  Agreement  at the Fund II
Initial  Closing  shall be the sum of (y) the Base Share Number and (z) a number
determined by  multiplying  the Initial Share Number by a fraction the numerator
of  which is the  dollar  amount  committed  by the CIG  Parties  at the Fund II
Initial Closing and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate  dollar
amount  committed by the CIG Parties and the aggregate  Private  Banking  Client
Commitments  at the Fund II  Initial  Closing  (the  "Initial  Closing  Purchase
Warrant  Number").  The number of shares  issuable  upon exercise of the Fund II
Service  Warrant to which  Limited REMI II shall be entitled to have the Fund II
General  Partner assign to it at the Fund II Initial Closing shall be determined
by multiplying  the Initial Share Number by a fraction the numerator of which is
the aggregate  Private  Banking Client  Commitments  made at the Fund II Initial
Closing and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate Private Banking
Client  Commitments and the aggregate dollar amount committed by the CIG Parties
at the Fund II Initial Closing (the "Initial Closing Service Warrant Number");

               (iv) General REMI II and CT-F2-GP shall cause the Fund II General
Partner to sell and assign to General  REMI II  pursuant  to the Fund II Warrant
Purchase Agreement the Fund II Purchase Warrant containing the right to purchase
a number of  shares  of CT Class A Common  Stock  equal to the  Initial  Closing
Purchase  Warrant Number in  consideration  of the execution and delivery to the
Fund II General  Partner of a promissory note  substantially  in the form of the
Fund I  Promissory  Note in a  principal  amount  equal to $0.32 per share of CT
Class A Common  Stock times the Initial  Closing  Purchase  Warrant  Number (the
"Fund II Purchase Warrant Promissory Note").  General REMI II and CT-F2-GP shall
also cause the Fund II General  Partner to assign and deliver to Limited REMI II
the Fund II Service Warrant  containing the right to purchase a number of shares
of CT Class A Common Stock equal to the Initial  Closing Service Warrant Number.
CT hereby consents to such sales and/or  assignments and agrees to enter General
REMI II as the record owner of such Fund II Purchase Warrant and Limited REMI II
as the record owner of such Fund II Service  Warrant on its books and records as
the record holders thereof.

               (v) General REMI II and the Fund II General Partner shall execute
and deliver to each other the Fund II Warrant  Purchase  Agreement,  and General
REMI II shall execute and deliver the Fund II Initial Closing  Purchase  Warrant
Promissory Note to the Fund II General Partner;

               (vi) General REMI II and CT-F2-GP shall cause the Fund II General
Partner to execute and deliver, and the Fund II General Partner shall cause Fund
II to execute and deliver, the Fund II Management Agreement; and

               (vii)  General REMI II and CT-F2-GP  shall execute and deliver to
each other, and shall cause their Affiliates,  agents and counsel to execute and
deliver, customary documentation,  certificates,  schedules and opinions related
to the Fund II Initial Closing.

          (c) (i) At each subsequent closing of Fund II and each closing of each
Subsequent  Fund (each a "Subsequent  Closing")  until the aggregate CIG Parties
Commitment has been made in accordance with Section 2.5, if the approval by CT's
stockholders  of the  Warrant  Issuance  as  provided  in  Section  2.3 has been
obtained, CT shall execute and deliver a Subsequent Funds Purchase Warrant and a
Subsequent  Funds Service  Warrant to either  CT-F2-GP or the applicable CT Fund
Control Person Member, as the case may be, in which case CT-F2-GP or the CT Fund
Control Person Member shall contribute the Subsequent Funds Purchase Warrant and
the Subsequent  Funds Service Warrant to the Fund II General Partner or the Fund
Control  Person of the  applicable  Subsequent  Fund,  as the case may be,  that
contain the right to purchase an aggregate number of shares of CT Class A Common
Stock (subject to adjustment as provided  therein) equal to the number  obtained
by  multiplying  4,750,000  by the  lesser  of (a) one  (1) or (b) the  fraction
obtained by dividing the additional aggregate dollar amount committed by the CIG
Parties and the Private Banking Client  Commitments at such  Subsequent  Closing
(i.e.,  excluding  commitments  made at prior closings) by $250,000,000  (each a
"Subsequent  Share Number").  CT shall issue a Subsequent Funds Purchase Warrant
and a Subsequent Funds Service Warrant for subsequent purchase and/or assignment
as follows.  The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Subsequent Funds
Purchase Warrant that may be purchased  pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement
at  each  such  Subsequent  Closing  shall  be  determined  by  multiplying  the
Subsequent  Share Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the  additional
dollar amount  committed by the CIG Parties at such  Subsequent  Closing  (i.e.,
excluding  commitments  made at prior  closings) and the denominator of which is
the sum of the  aggregate  dollar  amount  committed  by the CIG Parties and the
additional  aggregate  Private  Banking Client  Commitments  at such  Subsequent
Closing (i.e.,  excluding  commitments  made at prior closings) (the "Subsequent
Closing Purchase Warrant  Number").  The number of shares issuable upon exercise
of the  Subsequent  Funds  Service  Warrant  to  which  Limited  REMI  II or its
Affiliates  shall be  entitled  to have  assigned  and  delivered  to it at such
Subsequent  Closing shall be  determined by  multiplying  the  Subsequent  Share
Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate  additional Private
Banking Client  Commitments  made at such  Subsequent  Closing (i.e.,  excluding
commitments  made at prior  closings) and the denominator of which is the sum of
the additional  aggregate Private Banking Client  Commitments and the additional
aggregate dollar amount committed by the CIG Parties at such Subsequent  Closing
(the "Subsequent Closing Service Warrant Number").

<PAGE>

               (ii) At each such  closing,  the Fund II General  Partner or each
Subsequent Fund's Fund Control Person, as the case may be, shall sell and assign
to  General  REMI II or, in the case of a  subsequent  Fund,  to its  designated
Affiliate pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement the Subsequent Funds Purchase
Warrant containing the right to purchase a number of shares of CT Class A Common
Stock equal to the Subsequent  Closing  Purchase Warrant Number in consideration
of, in the case of Fund II, an  adjustment  by the Fund II General  Partner  and
General REMI II of Exhibit A to the Fund II Purchase Warrant  Promissory Note as
set  forth in the  Fund II  Warrant  Purchase  Agreement  and,  in the case of a
Subsequent  Fund,  the  execution  and delivery to such  Subsequent  Fund's Fund
Control  Person of a promissory  note  substantially  in the form of the Fund II
Purchase  Warrant  Promissory  Note in the  principal  amount equal to $0.32 per
share (the "Subsequent Funds Purchase Warrant Promissory Note") and shall assign
and  deliver  the  Subsequent  Funds  Service  Warrant  containing  the right to
purchase a number of shares of CT Class A Common  Stock equal to the  Subsequent
Closing  Service  Warrant  Number  to  Limited  REMI  II or,  in the  case  of a
Subsequent  Fund, to its designated  Affiliate.  CT hereby consents to such sale
and/or  assignments and agrees to enter on its books and records General REMI II
or, in the case of a Subsequent  Fund,  to its  Affiliate as the record owner of
such Subsequent  Funds Purchase Warrant and Limited REMI II or, in the case of a
Subsequent  Fund,  its  Affiliate as the record owner of such  Subsequent  Funds
Service  Warrant.  In  addition,  General  REMI II in the  case of Fund II shall
execute and deliver the Fund II Purchase Warrant  Promissory Note to the Fund II
General  Partner  and,  in the case of a  Subsequent  Fund,  General  REMI  II's
Affiliate  shall  execute and  deliver the  Subsequent  Funds  Purchase  Warrant
Promissory  Note to each  Subsequent  Fund's Fund Control  Person.  Furthermore,
General  REMI II shall cause each  Subsequent  Fund's Fund  Control  Person from
which General REMI II's Affiliate  shall have purchased  such  Subsequent  Funds
Purchase  Warrant to treat the effect of the  foregoing on the books and records
of each  such  Fund  Control  Person  in  substantially  the same  manner as the
purchase  and  assignment  of the  Fund I  Warrant  are  treated  in the  Fund I
Agreement.

          (d) The Fund II General  Partner and Limited  REMI II, for  themselves
and on behalf of each such Fund  Control  Person,  acknowledge  that the Fund II
Service Warrants and the Subsequent Funds Service Warrants  issuable pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) are the only compensation to which Limited REMI II (or
with  respect  to  Subsequent  Funds,  its  Affiliates)  shall  be  entitled  in
consideration of its raising capital from the Citibank Private Banking Clients.

     2.3. Approval by CT's  Stockholders.  The CIG Parties  acknowledge that the
Warrant  Issuance  is subject to the prior  approval by CT's  stockholders.  CT,
acting  through its board of directors,  shall in accordance  with Maryland law,
duly  call,  give  notice  of,  and  convene  and  hold  a  special  meeting  of
stockholders  (the  "Special   Meeting")  to  be  held  as  soon  as  reasonably
practicable  for the purpose of voting on the approval of the Warrant  Issuance.
Subject  to any  duties  of  directors  under  Maryland  law  based on advice of
counsel,  CT's  board of  directors  shall,  in  connection  with such  meeting,
unanimously  recommend that CT's  stockholders  approve the Warrant Issuance and
shall take all other  commercially  reasonable  action necessary or advisable to
secure the vote or consent of the stockholders in favor of the Warrant Issuance.
Without  limiting the foregoing,  CT shall: (i) within thirty (30) days (subject
to extension for an  additional  fifteen (15) days upon request by CT to General
REMI II and  General  REMI II's  consent  thereto,  which  consent  shall not be
withheld if CT is diligently  pursuing such  preparation and filing) of the date
of this  Agreement  prepare and file a preliminary  proxy  statement and form of
proxy

                                       19
<PAGE>

relating to the approval of the Warrant Issuance with the SEC in compliance with
applicable securities laws and regulations (ii) as soon as practicable after the
date any SEC comments  thereon or on any revised  materials  have been  cleared,
shall mail to CT's stockholders  definitive proxy materials and (iii) as soon as
practicable after the date of mailing shall hold the Special Meeting.

     2.4.  Business  Plan.  General  REMI II and  CT-F2-GP  hereby  approve  the
Business Plan for the Funds.  The Business Plan may be modified or amended,  and
variances  therefrom may be made,  only with the prior  written  consent of both
General REMI II and  CT-F2-GP,  which consent may be withheld or granted in each
party's sole  discretion.  The Business  Plan shall be  applicable to all of the
Funds other than Fund I, it being  agreed  between the parties that the business
of  Fund I shall  be  determined  as set  forth  in the  Fund I  Agreement.  The
respective  definitions of "Business"  and "Mezzanine  Business" as used in this
Agreement may not be modified or amended, whether by modifications or amendments
to the Business Plan or otherwise,  except by an amendment to this  Agreement as
provided in this  Agreement  and no usage of such terms in the Business  Plan or
other documents or agreements  amongst the parties shall affect or modify, or be
interpreted  to affect or modify,  the  respective  definitions of such terms in
this Agreement or in any amendment to this Agreement.

     2.5. The CIG Parties Commitment; CT Parties Commitment. (a) The CIG Parties
hereby commit to  contribute  to the capital of Fund II  (including  any capital
commitment to the Fund II General  Partner or to the Fund Control  Person of any
Subsequent  Fund  necessary  to permit the Fund II General  Partner or such Fund
Control Person to make its capital  commitments to Fund II or to such Subsequent
Fund and to pay any placement fees and any organizational  costs not paid by the
applicable  Fund) at the Fund II Initial Closing and at each subsequent  closing
of Fund II,  one  dollar  for  every  three  dollars  committed  by third  party
investors  (excluding  commitments  made by CT or its Affiliates,  but including
Private Banking Client Commitments) at such closing, provided, however, that the
CIG Parties shall have no obligation to make  aggregate  capital  commitments to
Fund II in an amount  greater  than  $250,000,000.  To the  extent  that the CIG
Parties'  aggregate  capital  commitments  to Fund II pursuant to the  foregoing
sentence  are  less  than  $250,000,000,  at  each  successive  closing  of each
Subsequent  Fund proposed by CT pursuant to the  procedures set forth in Section
2.6 (a) hereof that occurs on or prior to December 31, 2001,  the CIG Parties in
the aggregate shall commit,  or cause one or more of their Affiliates to commit,
to contribute to the capital of such Subsequent Fund (either directly or through
the applicable Fund Control Person) one dollar for every three dollars committed
by third party investors  (excluding  commitments  made by CT or its Affiliates,
but including  Private  Banking  Client  Commitments)  at such closing until the
aggregate capital commitments of the CIG Parties and/or their Affiliates to Fund
II and such Subsequent Fund shall equal  $250,000,000.  Any capital  commitments
made by the CIG  Parties or any of their  Affiliates  shall  first be made in an
amount sufficient (together with the commitments made by the CT Parties or their
Affiliates) to permit the Fund II General  Partner or the Fund Control Person of
each Subsequent Fund, as the case may be, to meet its capital commitment to Fund
II or such Subsequent Fund and then as limited partners in Fund II or as limited
partners or members in any  Subsequent  Funds.  Any  commitment  made by the CIG
Parties or their  Affiliates as a limited partner or member to any Fund shall be
made on the same  basis and same  terms and  conditions  as those  made by third
party investors in the applicable Fund. The aggregate capital commitments by the
CIG Parties and its Affiliates at the Fund II Initial Closing, each subsequent

                                       20
<PAGE>

closing of Fund II and each closing of each  Subsequent  Fund made in accordance
with the  foregoing  are  collectively  referred  to herein as the "CIG  Parties
Commitment."

          (b) The CT Parties  hereby agree that for each four dollars  committed
by the CIG  Parties or their  Affiliates  in the  aggregate  pursuant to the CIG
Parties Commitment, the CT Parties will commit one dollar to the capital of Fund
II and any Subsequent  Funds  (including  any capital  commitment to the Fund II
General  Partner or to the Fund Control Person of any Subsequent  Fund necessary
to permit the Fund II General  Partner or such Fund  Control  Person to make its
capital  commitments  to  Fund  II or to  such  Subsequent  Fund  and to pay any
placement fees and any  organizational  costs not paid by the  applicable  Fund)
proposed  by CT  pursuant  to  Section  2.6  hereof  at the same time as the CIG
Parties or their Affiliates invest pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof;  provided,
however that CT will have no obligation to make aggregate capital commitments in
an amount  greater  than  $62,500,000.  Any capital  commitments  made by the CT
Parties  shall  first  be  made  in an  amount  sufficient  (together  with  the
commitments made by the CIG Parties and their  Affiliates) to permit the Fund II
General Partner or the Fund Control Person of each Subsequent  Fund, as the case
may be, to meet its capital  commitment to Fund II or such  Subsequent  Fund and
then as a limited  partner  in Fund II or as a limited  partner or member in any
Subsequent  Funds. Any commitment made by the CT Parties as a limited partner or
member to any Fund  shall be made on the same  terms and  conditions  as the CIG
Parties as provided in Section 2.5(a) hereof. The aggregate capital  commitments
by the CT Parties at the Fund II Initial  Closing,  each  subsequent  closing of
Fund II and each closing of each  Subsequent  Fund made in  accordance  with the
foregoing are collectively referred to herein as the "CT Parties Commitment."

     2.6.  General REMI II's Right of First Refusal.  (a) Subject to Section 2.7
below,  if at any time  after  the  Fund II  Initial  Closing,  CT or any of its
Affiliates  desires to form an Other Fund (a "Proposed  Fund"), it shall deliver
notice (the "Proposed Fund Notice")  thereof to General REMI II which sets forth
a term sheet summary of the material  terms and  conditions of the Proposed Fund
(providing  particular  details with respect to (i) the proposed  management fee
payable by the Proposed Fund to the Fund Control  Person,  (ii) the "promote" or
"carried  interest"  to be  distributed  to the Fund Control  Person,  (iii) the
preferred return to the limited partners or members, (iv) the Investment Period,
(v) the term of the Proposed Fund, (vi) the Proposed Fund's investment  strategy
and business  plan,  (vii) the  anticipated  timing of the offering,  (viii) the
proposed placement agent(s),  (ix) the minimum dollar size of the Proposed Fund,
(x) the amount of the CT Parties  commitment,  if any, to the Proposed Fund, and
(xi) such other items as the parties may from time to time mutually agree -- all
of the foregoing are herein after referred to collectively as the "Proposed Fund
Key Items" or  individually  as a "Proposed  Fund Key Item").  The Proposed Fund
Notice  shall be  deemed  an offer by CT to  General  REMI II or its  designated
Affiliate  to  co-sponsor  the  Proposed  Fund,  to share  ownership of the Fund
Control Person on a 50/50 basis, to share in the "promote" or "carried interest"
to be  distributed  to the Fund Control  Person of the Proposed  Fund on a 50/50
basis,  and share on a 50/50 basis the net management  profits (after payment of
the  applicable  Investment  Management  Fee and any other costs) (the "Proposed
Fund Offer").  Except as provided  below,  General REMI II shall have sixty days
from the date of its receipt of the Proposed  Fund Notice (the "Option  Period")
to consider  such  Proposed  Fund Offer.  During such  period,  CT shall  afford
General REMI II or its Affiliates,  as well as any prospective placement agents,
full opportunity to conduct  customary due diligence with respect to CT and such
Proposed Fund. During such sixty-day period the

                                       21
<PAGE>

parties  shall  cooperate in good faith to agree on the Proposed Fund Key Items.
If after 30 days from the date of the  Proposed  Fund  Notice  the  parties  are
unable to agree on the Proposed  Fund Key Items,  and any one of the  investment
banking  firms listed on Schedule 2.6 hereof  selected by CT informs the parties
in writing that it believes the Proposed Fund Key Items, as modified, if at all,
pursuant to such good faith discussions  between the parties,  are then "market"
terms and that such  investment  banking  firm is willing to serve as  placement
agent of the Proposed  Fund on a contingent  and success fee basis in accordance
with such Proposed Fund Key Items, then upon the parties receipt of such written
notice from the investment  banking firm the Proposed Fund Offer shall be deemed
definitive (a "Definitive  Proposed Fund Offer"). On or before the expiration of
a ten-day  period from the date the  Proposed  Fund is first deemed a Definitive
Proposed  Fund  Offer,  General  REMI II shall  deliver to CT either a notice of
acceptance of the Definitive  Proposed Fund Offer (a  "Definitive  Proposed Fund
Acceptance")  or a notice of rejection of the Definitive  Proposed Fund Offer (a
"Definitive Proposed Fund Rejection").  If General REMI II shall fail to deliver
either a Definitive  Proposed  Fund  Acceptance  or a Definitive  Proposed  Fund
Rejection  within  the Option  Period,  it shall be deemed to have  delivered  a
Definitive Proposed Fund Rejection as at the last day of the Option Period.

          (b) A Proposed  Fund with respect to which  General REMI II shall have
delivered a Definitive  Proposed Fund Acceptance  shall be deemed to be an Other
Fund. If General REMI II delivers to CT a Definitive  Proposed  Fund  Acceptance
within the Option  Period,  CT and General REMI II or its  designated  Affiliate
shall  cooperate  in good  faith to prepare  all  offering  materials,  forms of
agreements  and all other  materials  related to the Proposed Fund and to market
the  Proposed  Fund in as  expeditious  a manner  as is  practicable  under  the
circumstances.   Subject  to  Section  2.5(a),  the  Definitive   Proposed  Fund
Acceptance  shall be deemed to constitute  the  obligation of General REMI II or
its  Affiliate to commit to  contribute  to the capital of the Proposed  Fund at
each closing of the Proposed Fund one dollar for every four dollars committed by
third party investors (excluding  commitments made by CT or its Affiliates,  but
including  Private  Banking  Client  Commitments)  at  such  closing,  provided,
however,  that neither General REMI II nor its Affiliates  shall be obligated to
make  aggregate  capital  commitments  to the Proposed Fund in an amount greater
than  $200,000,000,  including  50% of any capital  commitment  to such Proposed
Fund's Fund Control Person  necessary to permit such Fund Control Person to make
its capital  commitment to such Proposed Fund and to pay any placement  fees and
any  organizational  costs  not paid by such  Proposed  Fund.  CT  shall  not be
required to make any capital  commitment to such Proposed Fund other than 50% of
any capital  commitment to such Proposed Fund's Fund Control Person necessary to
permit such Fund Control Person to make its capital  commitment to such Proposed
Fund and to pay any placement fees and any organizational costs not paid by such
Proposed Fund. All additional capital commitments made by General REMI II or any
of its Affiliates  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions of this Section 2.6(b),
and  any  additional  capital  commitments  made  by CT or its  Affiliates  in a
Proposed Fund,  shall be made on the same basis and same terms and conditions as
those made by the third party investors in the Proposed Fund.

          (c) If  General  REMI II  delivers  or is deemed to have  delivered  a
Definitive  Proposed Fund Rejection  with respect to a Definitive  Proposed Fund
Offer,  CT shall have the right to sponsor  the  Proposed  Fund (even  where the
Proposed Fund Key Items of the Proposed Fund are  modified).  If pursuant to the
foregoing  procedures of this Section 2.6,  General REMI II shall have delivered
or shall be deemed to have delivered a Definitive Proposed Fund Rejection

                                       22
<PAGE>

with respect to two Proposed Funds, CT shall have the right to terminate General
REMI  II's  right of first  refusal  set  forth in this  Section  2.6 and CT may
exercise  such right by providing  General  REMI II with written  notice of such
termination; provided, however, if the CT Parties or their Affiliates are unable
to close a Proposed Fund (whether or not on the same or different  Proposed Fund
Key Items for which General REMI II delivered or was deemed to have  delivered a
Definitive  Proposed Fund  Rejection) then any such rejection by General REMI II
shall not  constitute a Definitive  Proposed Fund Rejection for purposes of this
sentence.

     2.7. CIG Real Estate  Exclusivity.  (a) During the period commencing on the
date of the Fund II  Initial  Closing  and  continuing  through  the  respective
Investment  Periods  of Fund II,  Subsequent  Funds  and any  Other  Funds,  the
following shall apply:

               (i) During the applicable Fund's  Investment  Period, if CIG Real
Estate is  presented  with a  candidate  transaction  relating  directly  to the
Mezzanine Business in the United States and CIG Real Estate has developed enough
information about the candidate transaction to conclude preliminarily that it is
interested in pursuing it (a "Candidate  Mezzanine Business  Transaction"),  CIG
Real Estate shall provide notice (a "Candidate  Transaction  Notice") thereof to
CT, with a copy to the applicable Fund Control Person,  for  consideration by CT
and the applicable Fund Control Person on behalf of the applicable  Fund. To the
extent such information is known to CIG Real Estate,  the Candidate  Transaction
Notice shall set forth (v) the  particular  property  that is the subject of the
Candidate Mezzanine Business Transaction, (w) the name of the owner or developer
of the particular  property,  (x) the name or names of the persons who CT should
contact in order for CT to pursue the Candidate  Mezzanine Business  Transaction
on behalf of the applicable  Fund,  (y) the name of the lead senior lender,  and
(z) the terms and conditions of the Candidate Mezzanine Business Transaction and
shall  take  reasonable  efforts  to  cooperate  with CT in its  pursuit  of the
candidate  transaction.  CT shall have until the close of business on the second
Business  Day after the date of its  receipt of a Candidate  Transaction  Notice
(the "Candidate  Transaction  Notice Period") to elect by notice to General REMI
II  whether  or not  it  wishes  to  pursue  the  Candidate  Mezzanine  Business
Transaction on behalf of the  applicable  Fund (the  "Election  Notice").  If CT
shall fail to deliver  the  Election  Notice  within the  Candidate  Transaction
Notice  Period,  CT, on behalf of the applicable  Fund,  shall be deemed to have
rejected the Candidate Mezzanine Transaction as of the last day of the Candidate
Transaction  Notice Period.  If CT, on behalf of the applicable Fund, shall have
elected or shall be deemed to have elected not to pursue the Candidate Mezzanine
Business  Transaction,  General REMI II or any of its Affiliates  shall have the
right to pursue and conclude such Candidate  Mezzanine  Business  Transaction on
substantially  the same terms. If CT on behalf of the applicable Fund shall have
elected to pursue the Candidate Mezzanine Transaction,  but later shall elect to
abandon such  transaction,  it shall promptly  provide written notice to General
REMI II thereof and General REMI II or any of its  Affiliates  after  receipt of
such notice  shall have the right to pursue such  Candidate  Mezzanine  Business
Transaction.

               (ii) CIG Real Estate shall not sponsor or  co-sponsor  any pooled
investment  vehicle primarily engaged in the Business other than as a co-sponsor
of such vehicle along with CT; provided,  however,  that the foregoing shall not
limit or restrict General REMI II or its Affiliates from in any manner investing
in, or allowing its customers to invest in any manner in,  Business assets other
than investments in the Mezzanine  Business;  and provided further,  that if any
Affiliate of General REMI II acquires any entity that sponsors or co-sponsors

                                       23
<PAGE>

pooled investment  vehicles engaged in the Business and if the management of any
such pooled  investment  vehicles is subsequently  assigned to and undertaken by
CIG Real Estate, CIG Real Estate shall have a twelve-month  period following the
effective date of such  assignment and  undertaking to cause the entity to cease
investing  new capital in Business  assets and to cease  raising  capital in any
such pooled investment vehicle.  The restrictions  contained in this clause (ii)
of Section 2.7(a) are referred to herein as the "Competing Fund Restriction".

          (b) In the event that CIG Real  Estate  shall not have  complied  with
Section  2.7(a)(i) or 2.7(a)(ii),  CT's  exclusive  remedy shall be the right to
terminate  General  REMI II's right of first  refusal  set forth in Section  2.6
hereof with respect to  subsequent  Proposed  Funds.  If CT desires to terminate
General REMI II's right of first  refusal with  respect to  subsequent  Proposed
Funds,  it shall provide  thirty days' notice thereof to General REMI II stating
the specific grounds for such termination provided, however, that such notice of
termination  shall be of no effect if CIG Real  Estate  shall  have  cured  such
failure to comply to the reasonable satisfaction of CT within 30 days of General
REMI II's receipt of such notice of  termination or if such failure to comply is
not susceptible to cure within such 30-day period, CIG Real Estate has commenced
within  such  30-day  period  reasonable  steps  to  cure  such  failure  to the
reasonable  satisfaction  of CT and General REMI II actually  cures such failure
within 60 days of receipt of such notice.

     2.8. CT  Exclusivity.  (a) During the period  commencing on the date of the
Fund II Initial Closing and continuing through the respective Investment Periods
of Fund II,  Subsequent  Funds and any Other  Funds,  the CT  Parties  and their
Affiliates' sole involvement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) in
the Business  shall be as a manager of, an advisor to and/or an investor in such
Funds jointly with the CIG Parties  and/or their  Affiliates as provided  herein
and in the agreements and documents  applicable to a particular Fund;  provided,
however,  that the CT  Parties  may  acquire  any  Business  asset that has been
declined  by the CIG  Parties  or their  affiliated  member  or  partner  of the
applicable Fund Control Person as an investment for the applicable Fund.

          (b) In the event that CT shall propose to acquire  Business  assets in
consideration of the issuance by CT of its equity or  equity-related  securities
("Equity Securities") or for cash or part Equity  Securities/part cash, CT shall
notify  General  REMI II as soon  as  practicable  in  advance  of its  intended
acquisition  of such Business  assets but in any event no later than the date on
which a term sheet is submitted to the target entity (an "Acquisition  Notice").
The Acquisition Notice shall describe such Business assets in reasonable detail,
include a  preliminary  due  diligence  package  with  respect to such  Business
assets, state the name(s) of the proposed seller or other transferor,  state the
purchase  price for such  Business  assets,  state the  number  and type of CT's
Equity  Securities  and/or cash to be delivered in consideration for the sale or
other transfer of such Business assets, describe any liens or other encumbrances
that burden such Business  assets,  state CT's estimate of the Fair Market Value
of any such  Equity  Securities,  state  the  basis  for any  allocation  of the
estimated  Fair  Market  Value of any such  Equity  Securities  as between  such
Business  assets and any other  assets to be acquired by CT in  connection  with
such  transaction,  state that CT is willing to sell such Business assets to the
applicable  Fund at CT's cost  therefor  (which cost may include  CT's  expenses
allocable to its  acquisition of such Business  assets and their transfer to the
applicable  Fund),  state  the  manner  in which  the  foregoing  expenses  were
determined, and state CT's intention to temporarily hold title to such Business

                                       24
<PAGE>

assets with the purpose of  transferring  such Business assets to the applicable
Fund as promptly as practicable after CT's acquisition  thereof.  Within 10 days
of the  Acquisition  Notice,  General  REMI II shall  have the right in its sole
discretion to require  additional  due diligence  materials with respect to such
Business  assets  and the Equity  Securities  to be  delivered  to the seller or
transferor  in  consideration  thereof  and the manner of  determining  the Fair
Market Value of such Business assets and such Equity Securities.  Within 30 days
of General REMI II's receipt of all such due diligence  materials,  General REMI
II shall notify CT whether  General  REMI II approves or rejects  CT's  proposed
transfer of such Business  assets to the applicable  Fund at the stated purchase
price (together with CT's expenses  related  thereto).  If General REMI II shall
reject such  proposed sale of such Business  assets to the  applicable  Fund, CT
shall  have the right to acquire  such  Business  assets for its own  account on
substantially the same terms as set forth in the Acquisition  Notice. If General
REMI II shall approve such sale of such Business assets to the applicable  Fund,
then,  subject to any restrictions or limitations set forth in the documentation
relating to the applicable  Fund, as soon as practicable  after CT's acquisition
of such Business assets, CT shall sell, convey and transfer such Business assets
to the  applicable  Fund for the purchase  price  (together  with CT's  expenses
related  thereto)  stated in the Acquisition  Notice,  payable in cash. Upon the
closing of such  transfer of such  Business  assets to the  applicable  Fund, CT
shall,  in form  reasonably  satisfactory  to General REMI II, transfer good and
marketable title to such Business assets free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances  (other than any liens or encumbrances set forth in the Acquisition
Notice), and shall assign all the rights and remedies that CT may have vis-a-vis
its seller or transferor to the applicable Fund.

     2.9.  Mutual  Cooperation.  Each of the CIG  Parties and CT shall use their
reasonable  commercial  efforts to structure  each Fund so that they are able to
comply with the provisions of Section 2.7 and 2.8 hereof, respectively.

     2.10. CIG Parties' Representation on CT's Board of Directors. (a) CT has on
the date hereof  delivered to General REMI II the CT Board  Certificate and each
of the  CIG  Parties  Initial  Board  Designees  has  delivered  to CT a  letter
accepting his  appointment to CT's board of directors.  The CIG Parties  Initial
Board  Designees and all  subsequent  CIG Designees  designated  pursuant to the
Stockholder  Voting and Lock-Up  Agreement  who serve on CT's board of directors
are  hereinafter   sometimes  referred  to  collectively  as  the  "CIG  Parties
Designees" and singly as a "CIG Parties Designee." In the event that one or both
of the CIG Parties'  Designees shall not be elected by CT's stockholders to CT's
board of directors, such CIG Parties Designee(s) shall have (subject to mutually
acceptable confidentiality  agreements) the right to receive notices of meetings
of CT's board of directors,  to attend and participate in such meetings,  and to
receive all  materials  sent to members of CT's board of  directors  when and as
sent to such members.  The right to designate  persons for election as directors
pursuant to the Stockholder Voting and Lock-Up Agreement and, if not so elected,
to attend  and  participate  in board of  directors  meetings  pursuant  to this
Section 2.10(a) are referred to herein as the "CIG Parties Board Right."

          (b) Upon  request  from CT from  time to time,  General  REMI II shall
certify to CT that the CIG Parties  and/or  their  Affiliates  are the legal and
beneficial  owners of at least 4,250,000 of the Board Right Shares. In the event
that (i) the CIG Parties and/or their  Affiliates shall cease to comply with the
CIG Parties Ownership Requirement,  (ii) CIG Real Estate shall have breached the
provisions of Section 2.7(a)(ii) hereof, (iii) the Fund II Initial Closing shall
not

                                       25
<PAGE>

have  occurred  by the  latter  of  December  31,  2000 or, if  applicable,  any
Extension  Date, or (iv) either Limited REMI I or CT-F1 shall have exercised the
Termination Right pursuant to Section 2.12(e) hereof, CT shall have the right to
terminate  the CIG Parties  Board Right upon notice  thereof to General  REMI II
stating the effective date of such termination. Thereupon, the CIG Parties Board
Right shall  terminate as at such effective date and the CIG Parties shall cause
their  designees on CT's board of directors to resign  therefrom as at such date
provided,  however, (A) that in the event of a termination by CT or CT-F1 of the
CIG Parties Board Right pursuant to the foregoing  clause (iii), or clause (iv),
CT or CT-F1  shall only have such right to  terminate  if CT or CT-F1 or Limited
REMI I shall  have  exercised  the  Unwind  Right and (B) that in the event of a
termination  pursuant to the Termination Right under Section 2.12(e) hereof then
such  termination  of the CIG  Parties  Board  Right shall take effect only upon
completion of the Unwind or the liquidation or dissolution of Fund I pursuant to
the provisions of the Fund I Agreement.

          (c) CT shall indemnify and hold harmless the CIG Parties and every CIG
Parties Designee from any and all liabilities arising from or related to the CIG
Parties  Designee's or the CIG Parties Designees' having served on CT's board of
directors  in the same manner and to the same extent as other  persons who serve
on CT's board of directors as set forth in CT's  Certificate  of  Incorporation,
and CT's By-Laws and to the fullest  extent  provided by Maryland law. CT has on
the date hereof  delivered the CT D&O  Certificate to General REMI II. CT hereby
agrees that it shall maintain the directors' and officers'  liability  insurance
policy or policies  referenced in the CT D&O Certificate (or comparable policies
issued by  comparable  insurance  companies) in a face amount or face amounts at
least  equal  to the  current  amount  of  directors'  and  officers'  insurance
maintained by CT at all times from the date hereof through the effective date of
termination  of the CIG Parties Board Right  insuring the CIG Parties  Designees
and the CIG Parties as named  insured  parties  thereunder.  In the event that a
policy or policies are on a "claims made" basis,  CT shall purchase an "Extended
Reporting"  policy following the effective  termination date of any such policy.
Such  Extended  Reporting  policy  shall have the same policy  limits and extend
coverage  for a  minimum  of three  years  following  the  original  date of the
cancellation  of the  foregoing  policy or  policies  and for a minimum of three
years  following  the  effective  date of  termination  of the CIG Parties Board
Right. Upon request from General REMI II from time to time, CT shall (i) certify
to General REMI II that such policies are in full force and effect, (ii) certify
the face amount(s) of such policy or policies,  and (iii) deliver copies of such
policy or policies and all riders and amendments thereto to General REMI II.

     2.11.  Investment  Management Fees. (a) CTIMCO, the Fund II General Partner
and  Fund II  have on the  date  hereof  entered  into  the  Fund II  Investment
Management  Agreement  applicable  to Fund II from and after the Fund II Initial
Closing.  The parties hereto agree that with respect to each Subsequent Fund and
each Other Fund,  CTIMCO and the applicable Fund Control Person shall enter into
an  investment  management  agreement  in the  form of the  Fund  II  Investment
Management  Agreement  pursuant to which  CTIMCO  shall  perform the  investment
management  services  referenced  therein and the applicable Fund Control Person
shall pay to CTIMCO its Pro Rata Share of the Cumulative  Investment  Management
Fee determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11.

          (b) The  Investment  Management  Fee with  respect  to all  Investment
Management Fee Base Funds shall be paid to CTIMCO  quarterly in advance promptly
after receipt by the Fund Control Persons of each Investment Management Fee Base
Fund of their respective

                                       26
<PAGE>

Management Fee from their respective Funds. With respect to each quarter, CTIMCO
shall  deliver  to  General  REMI II and to each  Fund  Control  Person  of each
Investment  Management Fee Base Fund a certificate (the  "Cumulative  Investment
Management  Fee Base  Certificate")  setting  forth  the  Cumulative  Investment
Management  Fee Base  and an  explanation  of the  breakdown  of the  Cumulative
Investment  Management Fee amongst the Investment Management Fee Base Funds. The
CIG Parties and the CT Parties  shall cause the Fund Control  Persons of each of
the Investment Management Fee Base Funds to pay their Pro Rata Share (as defined
herein) of Cumulative  Investment  Management Fees (the  "Investment  Management
Fee")  to  CTIMCO  within  three  (3)  Business  Days  of  the  delivery  of and
certificate to the CIG Parties and such Fund Control Persons.  Each Fund Control
Person's  pro rata share of the  Cumulative  Investment  Management  Fee for the
applicable  quarter  shall  be  determined  by  multiplying  (i) the  Cumulative
Investment  Management  Fee by (ii) a fraction,  expressed as a percentage,  the
numerator of which is the  Investment  Management  Fee Base of that Fund Control
Person's  respective  Fund,  and the  denominator  of  which  is the  Cumulative
Investment Management Fee Base (the "Pro Rata Share").

          (c)  The  Cumulative   Investment   Management  Fee  (the  "Cumulative
Investment   Management   Fee")  shall  be   determined   annually  and  payable
prospectively  on a quarterly  basis with  appropriate  adjustments  for partial
quarters as follows:

               (i) if at the date of a Cumulative Investment Management Fee Base
Certificate  the  Cumulative   Investment  Management  Fee  Base  is  less  than
$700,000,000,  each Fund  Control  Person  shall pay to CTIMCO 100% of such Fund
Control  Person's  Management  Fee  for the  applicable  quarter  to the  extent
necessary to cause CTIMCO to receive Cumulative  Investment  Management Fees for
such quarter equal to $1,750,000 plus any Shortfall  Amounts,  provided that the
amount of Cumulative  Management Fees payable by the Fund Control Persons of all
the  Investment  Management  Fee Base Funds  shall not in any Fiscal Year exceed
$7,000,000  plus any amounts  required to cover any  Shortfall  Amounts.  In the
event and to the extent that  Cumulative  Investment  Management Fees payable to
CTIMCO in any Fiscal Year are less than $6,250,000 (the "Shortfall Amount"), the
Shortfall  Amount  shall accrue  simple  interest at LIBOR and each Fund Control
Person  shall pay its Pro Rata  Share of the  Shortfall  Amount,  together  with
interest thereon, on a priority basis in subsequent periods; provided,  however,
that  if and  to the  extent  Cumulative  Investment  Management  Fees  in  such
subsequent  periods are not sufficient to permit the Fund Control Persons of the
Investment  Management Fee Base Funds to pay the Shortfall  Amount together with
interest thereon in full (the "Cumulative  Investment  Management Fee Deficiency
Amount"),  then each Fund  Control  Person  shall pay its Pro Rata  Share of the
Cumulative  Investment  Management Fee Deficiency  Amount as a priority  payment
from such  Fund  Control  Person's  "carried  interest"  or  "promote"  from its
respective  Fund as such  "carried  interest"  or  "promote"  is realized by the
respective Fund Control Person and from its respective Management Fee; provided,
further,  however,  that the parties shall cause the Fund Control Persons of the
Investment  Management Fee Base Funds to make such  adjustments  and payments as
between them  necessary to assure that no Fund Control Person pays more than its
Pro Rata Share of any Cumulative Investment Management Deficiency Amount.

               (ii) if at the date of a  Cumulative  Investment  Management  Fee
Base Certificate the Cumulative  Investment  Management Fee Base is $700,000,000
or more but less than $1,200,000,000,  the Cumulative  Investment Management Fee
for the next succeeding

                                       27
<PAGE>

quarter shall be one-fourth the sum of (A)  $7,000,000  plus (B) with respect to
the amount of Cumulative Investment  Management Fee Base exceeding  $700,000,000
the product of such excess  amount  times 0.75% (75 basis  points) and each Fund
Control Person shall promptly pay CTIMCO its Pro Rata Share thereof;

               (iii) if at the date of a Cumulative  Investment  Management  Fee
Base Certificate the Cumulative Investment Management Fee Base is $1,200,000,000
or more,  the  Cumulative  Investment  Management  Fee for the  next  succeeding
quarter shall be one-fourth the sum of (A) $10,750,000  plus (B) with respect to
the amount of Cumulative Investment Management Fee Base exceeding $1,200,000,000
the product of such excess  amount  times 0.50% (50 basis  points) and each Fund
Control Person shall  promptly pay CTIMCO its Pro Rata Share thereof;  provided,
however, that the CIG Parties and CTIMCO shall cooperate in good faith to adjust
the  Cumulative  Investment  Management  Fee under  clause (B) of the  foregoing
clause  (iii),  upwards or downwards,  to take into account the actual  services
rendered by CTIMCO pursuant to the various investment management agreements with
the Fund Control Persons of the Investment  Management Fee Base Funds,  provided
further  that if the  parties  are unable to agree on any such  adjustment,  the
formula set forth in clause (B) of the foregoing  clause (iii) shall continue to
apply  until such time as the  parties  agree on any such  adjustment;  provided
further,  that  within  90  days  of the end of  each  Fiscal  Year,  Cumulative
Investment   Management  Fees  shall  be  adjusted  to  take  into  account  any
overpayments or underpayments  during the prior Fiscal Year.  Overpayments shall
be deducted from, and  underpayments  shall be added to,  Cumulative  Investment
Management  Fees payable in the then next  succeeding  quarter after such annual
adjustment.

     For the  avoidance  of doubt,  until the  aggregate  Cumulative  Investment
Management  Fee paid to CTIMCO by all Fund  Control  Persons in any Fiscal  Year
equals  $7,000,000  plus any amount required to pay any Shortfall  Amounts,  the
quarterly Investment Management Fee paid by each Fund Control Person shall equal
100% of such Fund Control Person's  Management Fee for the applicable quarter to
the extent  necessary  to cause  CTIMCO to receive in such  quarter a Cumulative
Investment Management Fee equal to $1,750,000.

     2.12.  Unwind  Right;  Unwind.  (a) In the event  that the Fund II  Initial
Closing  shall  not have  occurred  by the  later of  December  31,  2000 or any
Extension Date resulting from an exercise of the Extension Right, either Limited
REMI I or CT-F1  shall  have the right to  exercise  the  Unwind  Right.  Either
Limited  REMI I or CT-F1 may  exercise  the  Extension  Right upon notice to the
other  provided that such notice is given at least 60 days prior to December 31,
2000 or 30 days prior to any Extension  Date.  Neither  Limited REMI I nor CT-F1
may  exercise the Unwind Right as a result of the failure of the Fund II Initial
Closing to occur on or before December 31, 2000 or by the failure of the Fund II
Initial  Closing  to occur on or  before  any  Extension  Date if the  other has
already given notice to it of its exercise of the Extension Right.

          (b) In the event that there  shall have been a failure to comply  with
the Key Individuals  Requirement  set forth in the Fund I Investment  Management
Agreement  or in the event that CT-F1 shall have  breached the Fund I Investment
Management Agreement, Limited REMI I shall have the right to exercise the Unwind
Right.  In the event that  Limited  REMI I elects to exercise  the Unwind  Right
pursuant to this Section 2.12(b),  it shall give written notice thereof to CT-F1
stating the specific grounds therefor; provided, however, that such notice shall

                                       28
<PAGE>

be of no  effect  if CT-F1  shall  have  cured  such  failure  to  comply to the
reasonable  satisfaction  of Limited REMI I within 30 days of CT-F1's receipt of
such notice or if such failure to comply is not  susceptible to cure within such
30-day period, CT-F1 has commenced within such 30-day period reasonable steps to
cure such failure to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of Limited REMI I, and CT-F1
actually cures such failure within 60 days of receipt of such notice.

          (c) Upon  receipt  by either  Limited  REMI I or CT-F1 of the  other's
notice  that it is  exercising  the Unwind  Right  pursuant  to Section  2.12(a)
hereof:

               (i)  Limited  REMI I and CT-F1  shall carry out the Unwind as set
forth in the Fund I Agreement;

               (ii) the Fund I Warrant  Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect;

               (iii) General REMI II shall have no right to purchase the Fund II
Purchase Warrant or the Subsequent Funds Purchase  Warrant,  and Limited REMI II
shall have no right to receive  the Fund II  Service  Warrant or the  Subsequent
Funds Service Warrant;

               (iv) as of the date of the completion of the Unwind, the CT-F2-GP
Capital  Formation  Agreement,  the  Fund I  Agreement,  the  Fund I  Investment
Management  Agreement,  the Fund II General Partner  Agreement,  the Stockholder
Voting and Lock-Up Agreement,  the Placement Agent Agreement, and this Agreement
shall  terminate  automatically,  except that the  respective  provisions of the
foregoing  agreements  which by their  terms  survive  the  termination  of such
agreement shall survive; and

               (v)  the  members  of  Fund  I  shall  cause  a  Certificate   of
Cancellation  to be filed with the State of  Delaware,  and in each state  where
Fund I has been qualified to do business,  canceling  Fund I in accordance  with
the Delaware  Limited  Liability  Company Act and in accordance with the laws of
each state where Fund I has been qualified to do business, respectively.

          (d) Upon  receipt  by  CT-F1 of  Limited  REMI I's  notice  that it is
exercising the Unwind Right pursuant to Section 2.12(b) hereof:

               (i)  Limited  REMI I and CT-F1  shall carry out the Unwind as set
forth in the Fund I Agreement;

               (ii) the Fund I Warrant  Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect;

               (iii) the Fund II Purchase  Warrant and Subsequent Funds Purchase
Warrant and the Fund II Service Warrant and Subsequent Funds Service Warrant if,
and to the extent, issued shall remain in full force and effect;

               (iv) as of the date of the completion of the Unwind, the CT-F2-GP
Capital  Formation  Agreement,  the  Fund I  Agreement,  the  Fund I  Investment
Management  Agreement,   the  Stockholder  Voting  and  Lock-Up  Agreement,  the
Placement Agent Agreement,  this Agreement,  and (if the Fund II Initial Closing
has not occurred as of the date of completion of the Unwind) the Fund II General
Partner Agreement shall terminate automatically, except that

                                       29
<PAGE>

the  respective  provisions  of the  foregoing  agreements  which by their terms
survive the termination of such agreement shall survive; and

               (v)  the  members  of  Fund  I  shall  cause  a  Certificate   of
Cancellation  to be filed with the State of  Delaware,  and in each state  where
Fund I has been qualified to do business,  canceling  Fund I in accordance  with
the Delaware  Limited  Liability  Company Act and in accordance with the laws of
each state where Fund I has been qualified to do business, respectively.

          (e)  Termination by SSB.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained in this
Agreement to the  contrary,  if within 30 days of the date hereof SSB shall have
delivered  a  notice  of  termination  to CT  terminating  the  placement  agent
engagement  pursuant  to  Section 5 of the  Placement  Agent  Agreement  (a "SSB
Termination  Notice"),  Limited  REMI I or  CT-F1  shall  have  the  right  (the
"Termination  Right") to terminate  this Agreement as provided below upon notice
to the  other  within  5 days of the  date of the SSB  Termination  Notice.  The
Termination Right may be exercised by either Limited REMI I or CT-F1 by delivery
to the other of notice that it is exercising  the  Termination  Right  whereupon
this Agreement and the Transaction  Documents shall terminate except as provided
below:

               (i) (A)  Limited  REMI I and CT-F1  shall carry out the Unwind as
set  forth  in the  Fund I  Agreement  if Fund I has  prior  to the date of such
exercise made Investments (as defined in the Fund I Agreement) and dissolve Fund
I pursuant to Delaware  law upon  completion  of the Unwind or (B) if Fund I has
made no Investments prior to such exercise, dissolve Fund I pursuant to Delaware
law promptly after such exercise of the Termination Right;

               (ii) The CIG Parties  Initial Board  Designees  shall resign from
CT's board of directors  upon  completion of the Unwind or if Fund I has made no
Investments then promptly after the exercise of the Termination Right;

               (iii) (A) The Fund I Warrant  Agreement,  (B) Section 2.10(c) and
Articles IV, V and VIII of this Agreement,  (C) the respective provisions of the
Fund I Agreement  and the Fund I Investment  Management  Agreement  (but only if
Fund I shall  have made  Investments  prior to the date of the  Exercise  of the
Termination  Right) which by their express terms survive a termination  thereof,
and (D) the provisions of the Placement  Agent  Agreement which by their express
terms survive any termination of the placement agent engagement thereunder shall
remain in full force and effect; and

               (iv) Upon completion of any such Unwind,  or immediately upon the
exercise  of the  Termination  Right  if  Fund I has  made no  Investments,  the
parties'  respective  obligations  under Article II of this  Agreement and under
each  Transaction  Document  shall  terminate  other than as set forth in clause
(iii) of this Section 2.12(e).

     2.13. Key Individuals.  The "Key Individuals" of CT are John R. Klopp, Vice
Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer;  and Craig M. Hatkoff,  Vice Chairman and
Chairman of the Executive  Committee.  CT hereby  represents and warrants to the
CIG  Parties  and CIG that it has  delivered  true  and  correct  copies  of the
respective  employment  agreements of the Key Individuals to General REMI II. CT
hereby agrees that it shall not amend or modify any such

                                       30
<PAGE>

employment agreement in any manner that would, or could reasonably, decrease the
term  thereof.  CT hereby  covenants  that it shall  cause  CTIMCO and any other
entity that CT elects to serve as investment manager to any Fund to agree to the
Key Individuals Requirement in its investment management agreement unless at the
time of the formation of any such Fund and the entering into any such investment
management agreement the Key Individuals Requirement could not be met.

     2.14.  REIT Status.  CT shall take such steps as are necessary for it to be
taxed as a REIT under Part II of  Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the
Code whether through merger,  election or otherwise on terms mutually acceptable
to CT and the CIG Parties as soon as possible after the date hereof.  Such steps
shall include,  but shall not be limited to, the submission to CT's stockholders
of any matters  customarily  necessary for them to approve in order for CT to be
so taxed as a REIT.  Unless  there  shall  have (i) been a change in the Code or
formally  published  administrative or judicial  interpretations of the Code the
result of which is that  election of REIT status  would have a material  adverse
effect  on CT as  is  evidenced  by a  written  opinion  of  tax  counsel  to CT
reasonably  acceptable to the CIG Parties,  (ii) occurred an Act of God or other
force majeure that prevents CT from electing to be taxed as a REIT under Part II
of  Subchapter  M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code or (iii)  despite  good
faith  efforts on the part of CT, it is not able to comply  with the  conditions
required by the Code to qualify as a REIT (by way of example and not limitation,
income/asset  tests,  concentration  of  ownership,  and  other  such  tests and
conditions),  CT shall submit to its stockholders all matters necessary for them
to approve in order for CT to be taxed as a REIT  ("REIT  Tax  Matters")  and CT
shall  actively  solicit the adoption of such matters by CT's  stockholders.  If
there  shall not have  occurred  any  event or act  described  in the  foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section  2.14 and CT shall have met the  conditions
described in clause (iii) of this  Section  2.14 and CT shall  nevertheless  not
have  submitted  the  foregoing  matters to its  stockholders  for approval in a
manner  timely  enough  for CT to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for
the period beginning  January 1, 2002 or has otherwise not become a REIT through
merger or otherwise by January 1, 2002,  General REMI II shall have the right to
invoke the  Appraisal  Procedures  set forth in Section  4.1 hereof  pursuant to
which the Experienced Appraiser shall determine (x) the Fair Market Value of the
CIG Parties' and their  Affiliates' Board Right Shares with CT being valued as a
"C" corporation under the Code and (y) the Fair Market Value of the CIG Parties'
and their  Affiliates' Board Right Shares with CT being valued as a REIT. To the
extent  that (x) is less  than (y),  CT shall  promptly  pay such  amount to the
respective  CIG Parties and their  Affiliates in proportion to their  respective
holdings  of Board  Right  Shares.  The above  notwithstanding,  if the REIT Tax
Matters shall have been submitted to the stockholders of CT and the stockholders
of CT do not approve the REIT Tax  Matters,  the CIG Parties  shall not have the
foregoing right to invoke the Appraisal Procedures or to receive such payment.

     2.15. Fees. (a) The CIG Parties and the CT Parties, as the case may be, for
themselves  and their  Affiliates,  agree  that in the event that any of them or
their Affiliates propose to earn any fee, whether directly related to a Business
transaction to be conducted by any Fund  (including  Fund I) or ancillary to any
such Business transaction, it shall notify the CT Parties or the CIG Parties, as
the case may be, of such fee and the circumstances related to such fee. All fees
directly  related  to  a  Business  transaction  (by  way  of  example  and  not
limitation,  a commitment fee to be received in connection  with a Mortgage Loan
to be made by a Fund,  including  Fund I) to be conducted  by a Fund  (including
Fund I) shall be for the account of such fund, and shall be

                                       31
<PAGE>

promptly paid over to such fund upon such party's receipt thereof. All fees that
are ancillary to a Business  transaction  (by way of example and not limitation,
an advisory fee to be earned by an Affiliate  pursuant to an engagement  entered
into prior to a Business  transaction being proposed to such fund or pursuant to
an  engagement  that is broader  than the  Business)  to be  conducted by a Fund
(including  Fund I) shall not be for the account of such fund but instead  shall
be for the  account of such party or its  Affiliate.  In each  instance  where a
party is to  receive  any such  direct or  ancillary  fee,  such fee shall be on
reasonable   commercial  terms  determined  on  an  arm's-length  basis  to  the
reasonable  satisfaction  of the CT Parties or the CIG Parties,  as the case may
be.  Any  dispute  with  respect to  whether a fee is direct or  ancillary  to a
Business  transaction  being  conducted  by a Fund  (including  Fund  I) and any
dispute as to whether a fee is on reasonable  commercial  terms determined on an
arm's-length basis shall be resolved pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof.

     (b) The parties  agree that each fee  required to be paid  pursuant to this
Venture  Agreement,  including without  limitation,  the fees payable to Limited
REMI  II  or  its  Affiliates  for  raising  funds,  are  considered  ancillary,
commercially reasonable and arm's-length,  and may be retained by the recipient.
Such  fees  constitute  reasonable  compensation  and  are the  only  fees to be
received for the services specified herein.

fully its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

               (ii)  Authority  to Execute  and Perform  Agreements.  It has all
requisite  limited liability company power and authority (in the case of Limited

principles affecting the enforcement of contracts.

          (b) No Violation.  Neither its execution or delivery of this Agreement
nor the consummation of the transactions  contemplated  herein will: (a) violate

arbitrator  which  challenges  the ability or legality of such party's  entering
into this Agreement or any Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

warrants  to  the  other  parties  hereto  that:  The  parties  to  the  various
Stockholder   Approval   Agreements  and  the  Stockholder  Voting  and  Lock-Up
Agreements who are CT Management Stockholders or Associated Stockholders are the
record  owners of the  number of shares of CT Class A Common  Stock set forth in
the respective Stockholder Approval Agreements or Stockholder Voting and Lock-Up
Agreement and are not the record owners of any other shares of CT Class A Common
Stock. To the best of CT's knowledge,  after reasonable  inquiry,  CT Management
Stockholders and Associated Stockholders as well as their respective Affiliates,
Associates,  family  members or trusts for the benefit of family  members do not

                                   ARTICLE IV
                               DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     4.1. Appraisal  Procedure.(a) In the event of a dispute between the parties
hereto or between the parties to any Transaction  Document as to the Fair Market
Value of a particular  asset or assets,  interest or right of a party hereto and
such  dispute has not been  resolved  after good faith  discussions  amongst the
concerned  parties  after 30 days notice of such  dispute  from one party to the
other parties, either party may invoke the Appraisal Procedures.

          (b) "Appraisal  Procedures" means the following  procedures,  by which
the Fair Market  Value of a particular  asset or assets,  interest or right of a
party hereto shall be determined.  If a party (the "Notifying  Party") wishes to
invoke the Appraisal Procedures it shall provide notice (the "Appraisal Notice")
of such  election  to the other  party (the  "Other  Party")  and the  Notifying
Party's  determination  of the  Fair  Market  Value of the  particular  asset or
assets,  interest or right.  Within 15 days of the Other Party's  receipt of the
Appraisal  Notice,  it shall notify the  Notifying  Party  whether it accepts or
rejects the Notifying  Party's  determination of Fair Market Value. In the event
the Other Party fails to notify the Notifying  Party within the foregoing 15 day
period that it rejects  said  determination,  the Other Party shall be deemed to
have accepted the Notifying  Party's  determination of Fair Market Value. If the
Other Party gives the  Notifying  Party  timely  notice of its  rejection of the
Notifying  Party's  determination,  the  Notifying  Party  and the  Other  Party
acknowledge  and agree that the appraisal  process  hereinafter  set forth shall
determine  the Fair Market  Value.  Each party,  at its own expense,  shall then
designate an Experienced  Appraiser who shall determine and promptly report (and
in no event later than the  thirtieth  (30th) day  following  the Other  Party's
receipt of the  Appraisal  Notice) to both  parties in writing  the Fair  Market
Value. If the report indicates proposed values that are within five (5%) percent
of each  other,  the  Notifying  Party and the Other  Party  agree that the Fair
Market Value shall be an average of such amounts.  However,  if after  receiving
the report,  the  parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market  Value (and the
amounts  are not within five (5%)  percent of each other)  within five (5) days,
both parties shall jointly appoint an Experienced  Appraiser who shall determine
the Fair Market Value by  selecting  either the Fair Market Value as reported by
the Notifying Party's Experienced Appraiser or the Fair Market Value as reported
by the Other Party's  Experienced  Appraiser,  according to whichever of the two
valuations  is closer to the actual  Fair  Market  Value in the  opinion of such
third  Experienced  Appraiser.  The third  Experienced  Appraiser  shall have no
discretion other than to select one or the other report as aforesaid.  The costs
of such third  Experienced  Appraiser  shall be shared  equally by the Notifying
Party and the Other  Party.  The  parties  shall work  together  and  coordinate
efforts to obtain such third Experienced  Appraiser's report in writing no later
than the  forty-fifth  (45th)  day  following  the  latter of the Other  Party's
receipt of the  Appraisal  Notice.  The parties shall be obligated to enter into
engagement  agreements  with the  foregoing  Experienced  Appraisers  containing
customary terms and conditions, including customary indemnification provisions.

          (c)  "Experienced  Appraiser"  means a  nationally  recognized  "bulge
bracket"  independent  investment banking firm (other than Salomon Smith Barney)
experienced  in the  valuation of  businesses  engaged in the Business and their
securities.

     4.2. Arbitration. Should any dispute arise under this Agreement that is not
subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof;  then the parties shall meet to
attempt to resolve such dispute before any proceeding, including arbitration, is
commenced,  and neither party shall seek other relief prior to such meeting.  In
the event such a meeting does not resolve  such  dispute and such dispute  shall
remain  unresolved  for a period of thirty (30) days,  then the following  shall
apply:

          (a)  Dispute  Resolution.  Subject to the  provisions  of Section  4.1
hereof, the parties shall submit any dispute,  claim or controversy  arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Document (including, without
limitation,  with  respect  to  the  meaning,  effect,  validity,   termination,
interpretation,  performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction
Document) or any alleged breach  (including any action in tort,  contract equity
or otherwise) to binding arbitration before an arbitrator (the "Arbitrator"), to
be heard pursuant to the provisions of the Commercial  Arbitration  Rules of the
American  Arbitration  Association.  The parties agree that, except as otherwise
provided herein respecting temporary or preliminary  injunctive relief,  binding
arbitration  shall be the  sole  means  of  resolving  any  dispute,  claim,  or
controversy  arising  out of or relating to this  Agreement  or the  Transaction
Documents (including,  without limitation,  with respect to the meaning, effect,
validity,  termination,  interpretation,  performance  or  enforcement  of  this
Agreement or the  Transaction  Documents) or any alleged  breach  (including any
claim in tort, contract, equity or otherwise).

          (b) Location.  Any arbitration  shall be held in New York County,  New
York.

          (c) Costs.  The CIG Parties,  on the one hand, and the CT Parties,  on
the other hand, shall equally bear any arbitration fees and administrative costs
associated with the arbitration.  No party shall be entitled to recover costs or
attorneys' fees incurred during the course of arbitration.

          (d) Award.  The Arbitrator's  award may not include punitive  damages.
The arbitration  award in any such  arbitration may be confirmed by any court of
competent jurisdiction.

          (e)  Submission to  Jurisdiction,  Waiver of Jury Trial.  In the event
that the parties waive the foregoing arbitration provisions or in the event that
such  provisions  shall for any  reason not be  available  or  enforceable,  the
parties  hereby  submit to the  nonexclusive  jurisdiction  of the United States
District  Court for the Southern  District of New York and of any New York State
court  sitting in New York County.  In any such event,  each party hereto hereby
irrevocably  waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
it may now or hereafter  have to the laying of the venue of any such  proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a
court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party irrevocably consents
to service of process in the manner  provided for notices in Section 8.2 hereof,
but  nothing  in this  sentence  shall  affect  the  right of any party to serve
process in any other manner  permitted by law. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES
ITS  RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH  RESPECT  TO ANY  DISPUTE  ARISING  UNDER  THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

     5.1. Indemnification.(a) Each party (an "Indemnifying Party") hereto hereby
agrees to indemnify  and hold  harmless the other  parties and their  directors,
officers,  members,  employees and agents and its  Affiliates and its directors,
officers,  members,  employees  and  agents  and  each  other  Person,  if  any,
controlling  any of the  foregoing  (collectively,  "Indemnitees"),  to the full
extent  lawful,  from  and  against  any and  all  losses,  penalties,  actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses, disbursements and damages of any kind
or nature  whatsoever  (including  fees and  disbursements  of counsel  for such
Indemnitee)  (collectively,  "Losses")  caused by, arising from or in connection
with (i) any false or misleading misrepresentation or warranty contained in this
Agreement or in any Transaction  Document,  (ii) any breach of this Agreement or
any Transaction  Document,  or (iii) (A) any untrue  statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material  fact  contained in the Fund II PPM or related  offering
materials or any subsequent  offering  memorandum or related offering  materials
related to any Other Funds or the omission or alleged  omission to state therein
a material  fact  necessary  in order to make the  statements  made  therein not
misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (B) any
other action or failure to act by an Indemnitee  undertaken at the  Indemnifying
Party's  request  except that this clause (B) shall not apply to the extent that
any Damages are finally  judicially  determined to have resulted  primarily from
the Indemnitee's bad faith or gross negligence.

          (b) In the event  that the  foregoing  indemnity  in  clause  (iii) of
Section 5.1(a) is unavailable to an Indemnitee for any reason, the parties agree
to contribute to any Losses related to or arising out of the Fund II PPM and the
related  offering of securities and any subsequent  offering  memorandum and the
related  offering with respect to an Other Fund or any transaction or conduct in
connection  therewith as follows.  For Losses referred to in clause (iii) of the
preceding  paragraph,  each party  involved  in the  particular  offering  shall
contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
each such party in connection  with the  statements,  omissions or other conduct
which  resulted  in  such  Losses,  as  well  as any  other  relevant  equitable
considerations.  For any other Losses, or for Losses referred to in clause (iii)
of the  preceding  paragraph,  if the  allocation  provided  by the  immediately
preceding  sentence is unavailable  or can not be reasonably  determined for any
reason,  each party involved in the particular offering shall contribute in such
proportion  as is  appropriate  to reflect the  relative  benefits  received (or
anticipated  to be  received)  by it from the  actual or  proposed  offering  or
transaction.  Relative fault with respect to Losses arising out of or based upon
an untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue  statement  of a  material  fact or an
omission  or alleged  omission  to state a  material  fact in the Fund II PPM or
related  offering  materials or any  subsequent  offering  memorandum or related
materials  related to any Other Funds shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity  to  correct or prevent  such  untrue  statement  or  omission.  The
relative  benefits of the CIG Parties,  on the one hand, and the CT Parties,  on
the other hand,  shall be 50/50. The parties agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above.

                                       36
<PAGE>

          (c) Each party, for itself and on behalf of its affiliated Indemnitee,
will not,  without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying  Party,  settle
any pending or threatened claim or proceeding  related to any Losses  referenced
in  Section   5.1(a)  hereof  unless  such   settlement   includes  a  provision
unconditionally  releasing the Indemnifying  Party and its directors,  officers,
members, employees and agents and its Affiliates and their directors,  officers,
members,  employees and agents and each other Person, if any, controlling any of
the  foregoing  from and  holding  the  Indemnifying  Party  and its  directors,
officers,  members, employees and agents and its Affiliates and their directors,
officers,  members,  employees  and  agents  and  each  other  Person,  if  any,
controlling  any of the foregoing  harmless  against all liability in respect of
claims by any releasing party related to or arising out of the matters  referred
to in clauses (i) through (ii) of Section 5.1(a) hereof.  The Indemnifying Party
shall also  promptly  reimburse  each  Indemnitee  for all  expenses  (including
counsel  fees)  as  they  are  incurred  by an  Indemnitee  in  connection  with
investigating,  preparing or defending, or providing evidence in, any pending or
threatened  claim  or  proceeding  in  respect  of  which   indemnification   or
contribution may be sought  hereunder  (whether or not the Indemnitee is a party
to such claim or proceeding) or in enforcing this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                       CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE

     6.1.  Confidentiality.(a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI,
each of the parties to this Agreement for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates
shall keep  confidential  and shall not disclose the  transactions  contemplated
herein,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  any  information  relating  to  the
Investment  Management Fee, the Business Plan, any Candidate  Mezzanine Business
Transaction,  the CT Business Plan, any Proposed Fund, the Appraisal Procedures,
any  arbitration  under  Section 4.2 hereof,  and any  confidential  information
conveyed by one party to another in connection with a party's due diligence with
respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

          (b) The obligation of confidentiality  and non-disclosure set forth in
Section  6.1(a)  hereof shall not apply to any  information  that (i) was in the
public domain prior to the date of this  Agreement or prior to its conveyance by
one party to another party hereunder as contemplated herein or subsequently came
into the public domain  through no fault of such party or its  Affiliates,  (ii)
was disclosed  without  restriction by, or with the prior approval of, the other
party,   (iii)  was  lawfully   obtained  by  the  party  without  a  binder  of
confidentiality from a source other than a party, (iv) to the extent a party has
been advised by counsel that such  disclosure  or delivery is necessary for such
party to comply with applicable laws and regulations or to comply with any rules
of any applicable stock exchange or over-the-counter  market, (v) is required to
be  disclosed  in order to  enforce  the  provisions  of this  Agreement  or any
Transaction  Document,  (vi) is compelled by legal or regulatory process,  (vii)
has been  approved by General  REMI II and CT jointly for  dissemination  to the
public,  or (viii) to the extent  reasonably  necessary  to the  conduct of such
party's  business  to  disclose  to  auditors,  attorneys,  agents and  advisers
provided  each party  notifies  such  person of the  confidentiality  provisions
hereof.

          (c) Each party shall give the other party reasonable advance notice of
any proposed written disclosure by it under Section 6.2(b) hereof, shall use its
reasonable   commercial  efforts  to  secure  confidential   treatment  of  such
information and shall cooperate in

                                       37
<PAGE>

good faith with the other  parties to limit or  restrict  such  disclosure  upon
notice  from a party to  another  that it  wishes to so limit or  restrict  such
disclosure.  The parties agree that  notwithstanding  the  provisions of Section
4.2, the remedies  afforded in Section 4.2 and afforded by law may be inadequate
to protect  against  breach of this Article VI, and hereby agree to the granting
of  injunctive  relief in favor of a party seeking to prevent any breach of this
Article VI without the posting of any bond or other  security.  For  purposes of
this  Article VI,  Limited REMI I, General REMI II and Limited REMI II and their
respective  Affiliates shall be treated as one party,  and CT, CT-F1,  CT-F2-GP,
CTIMCO,  and CT-F2-LP  and their  Affiliates  shall be treated as one party,  so
that,  by  way  of  example  and  not  limitation,  disclosure  of  confidential
information  by Limited  REMI I to General  REMI II or Limited REMI II or any of
their  Affiliates  shall not  constitute a  disclosure  by General REMI II under
clauses (i)  through  (iii) of Section  6.2(b)  hereof that shall give rise to a
disclosure  by  Limited  REMI I,  General  REMI II or  Limited  REMI II or their
Affiliates  as a  lawful  disclosure  under  such  clauses  (i)  through  (iii).
Likewise,  a consent to disclose by one of the CIG Parties shall be deemed to be
a consent to such disclosure by all the CIG Parties.

          (d) The parties hereto have agreed on the form,  content and timing of
a mutual press release  announcing  the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by them and disclosing the general terms of the transactions contemplated herein
and in the  Transaction  Documents.  The parties  hereto will not,  and will not
permit any of their  Affiliates  to,  issue any other press  release or make any
written  public  announcement  relating to this  Agreement  or the  transactions
contemplated herein or in the Transaction Documents without the prior consent of
the other parties  unless such  disclosure is permitted  pursuant to clauses (i)
through (iv) of Section 6.1(b) hereof. Subject to the provisions of such clauses
(i) through  (iv) of Section  6.1(b)  hereof,  no party  hereto  shall issue any
subsequent press releases relating to the transactions contemplated herein or in
the Transaction Documents without the prior consent of the other parties,  which
consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld.  The CT Parties  and CT shall use
reasonable  efforts to preview  with the CIG Parties any scripts for  interviews
and the  like  in  connection  with  analysts  meetings,  real  estate  industry
conferences and conventions at least 24 hours prior to their use.

additional payments ("Additional Payments") to the Company in cash upon the
terms and conditions, at the times and in the amounts as set forth in this
Section 4.2. No Member shall be required to make any further payments to the
Company during the term of this Agreement except as specifically required in

(i) pay the expenses of the Company in accordance with Section 4.2(c) in excess
of the funds available from (a) the Members' Initial Capital Contributions and
any prior contributions of Additional Payments, and (b) the Net Cash Flows, or
(ii) to invest in a Candidate Transaction in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Section 4.2, then the Members shall make Additional Payments
in cash to pay those obligations as set forth herein. Any Additional Payment by
Limited REMI I shall first be applied to repay the Warrant Purchase Note. Once
the Warrant Purchase Note is repaid any Additional Payment by Limited REMI I
shall constitute an Additional Capital Contribution. Any Additional Payment by
CT-F1 shall constitute an Additional Capital Contribution. Additional Payments
shall be made by the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(d)
hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Limited REMI I shall
not be required to make Additional Payments to the Company in excess of
$150,000,000 in the aggregate and CT-F1 shall not be required to make Additional
Payments to the Company in excess of $50,000,000 in the aggregate. If both
Members make their Capital Contributions as required, any Additional Capital
Contribution shall be credited to the Capital Accounts in the ratio of 75% to
Limited REMI I and 25% to CT-F1.

              (b) Candidate Transactions. At all times during the Investment
Period, the Company shall have a priority right to consummate for the benefit of
the Company all Business transactions sourced by CT-F1 and any of its Affiliates
to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 4.2(b). If at any time
during the Investment Period CT-F1 or any of its Affiliates shall become aware
of a Business transaction which it determines is appropriate for the Company
("Candidate Transaction"), CT-F1 shall deliver notice thereof to Limited REMI I
setting forth, to the extent known, all material terms and conditions of the
Candidate Transaction (including, (i) the estimated amount of each Member's
Capital Contribution necessary to fund the Company's equity component of such
Candidate Transaction and related expenses (the "Equity Component"), (ii) the
anticipated date on which the Members would be required to make Additional
Payments to the Company to fund such Equity Component, and (iii) the debt
component, if any of such Candidate Transaction) and shall include a preliminary
due diligence package containing all due diligence materials then in the
possession of CT-F1 (a "Candidate Transaction Notice"). Limited REMI I shall
have two (2) Business Days from the date of its receipt of such Candidate
Transaction Notice during which it shall have the right in its sole discretion
to require additional due diligence materials, which Limited REMI I shall
specify on a supplemental due diligence request. Within five (5) Business Days
of Limited REMI I's receipt of all the requested due diligence materials (the
"Candidate Transaction Notice Period"), Limited

                                       9

<PAGE>

REMI I shall notify CT-F1 whether or not it is electing to participate in the
Candidate Transaction (a "Candidate Transaction Acceptance" or a "Candidate
Transaction Rejection", as the case may be). If Limited REMI I shall fail to
deliver either a Candidate Transaction Acceptance or a Candidate Transaction
Rejection within the Candidate Transaction Notice Period, it shall be deemed to
have delivered a Candidate Transaction Rejection as at the close of business on
the last Business Day of the Candidate Transaction Notice Period. If Limited
REMI I shall have delivered or shall have been deemed to have delivered a
Candidate Transaction Rejection, CT-F1 shall have the right, independent of the
Company, to pursue and conclude such Candidate Transaction on substantially the
same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Candidate Transaction
Notice. If Limited REMI I shall have delivered to CT-F1 a Candidate Transaction
Acceptance within the Candidate Transaction Notice Period and if CT-F1
determines that the Company should conclude such Candidate Transaction, then
both Limited REMI I and CT-F1 shall be obligated to make Additional Payments to
the Company to permit the Company to fund the Equity Component of the Candidate
Transaction in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(d) hereof. If
Limited REMI I delivers a Candidate Transaction Acceptance with respect to a
Candidate Transaction and CT-F1 later determines that the Company should not
pursue and conclude such Candidate Transaction, CT-F1 may not later pursue or
conclude such Candidate Transaction independent of the Company without first
making such Candidate Transaction available to the Company pursuant to this
Section 4.2(b). Candidate Transactions with respect to which Limited REMI I
shall have delivered a Candidate Transaction Acceptance to CT-F1 and which have
been consummated are herein referred to as "Investments." Additional Payments to
the Company pursuant to a Candidate Transaction Acceptance and in accordance
with Section 4.2(d) hereof which Candidate Transaction is ultimately not
consummated shall be returned to the Members who made the Additional Payments,
without interest, net of related expenses, promptly after such time as the
Members shall have determined that such Candidate Transaction will not close,
and all entries on the Company's books and records resulting from such
Additional Payments shall be reversed as if such Additional Payments were never
made.

              (c) Expenses. Each Member shall make Additional Payments to the
Company from time to time sufficient to fund (i) the Investment Management Fee,
(ii) expenses payable by the Company as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Fund I
Investment Management Agreement, (iii) expenses incurred by the Company in the
ordinary course of its business, (but in no event exceeding $50,000 in any
Fiscal Year), or as otherwise set forth in the Annual Operating Budget, (iv)
expenses approved by the Members and (v) expenses otherwise required by this
Agreement. All such Additional Payments shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.2(d) hereof. Expenses incurred by CT-F1 with respect to
a Candidate Transaction with respect to which Limited REMI I shall have given,
or shall be deemed to have given, a Candidate Transaction Rejection, shall be
borne by CT-F1 and not by the Company or Limited REMI I unless such expense was
specifically approved by Limited REMI I prior to the expenditure in which case
it shall be borne by the Company.

              (d) Call Procedures; Payment of Call. Whenever the Members are
required to make Additional Payments to the Company as provided in this Section
4.2, each Member shall be obligated to contribute its share of the requested
Additional Payment in cash in an amount equal to (a) that Member's Percentage
Interest multiplied by (b) the aggregate dollar amount of the requested
Additional Payment. To satisfy any call for Additional Payment, a Member shall

                                       10

cause to be paid to the Company, by the date specified by the Investment
Manager, which date shall be the "Contribution Date," in immediately available
funds in the full amount of such Member's share of the requested Additional
Payment.

         4.3. Loans by Members; Compensation. No Member shall be required to
lend any funds to the Company, and no Member shall have any personal liability
for the repayment of any Capital Contribution of any other Member. No Member
shall receive any interest, salary or drawing with respect to its Capital
Contributions or its Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the
Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE V
                           MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

         5.1. Management of the Company. The business and affairs of the Company
shall be managed by the Members, except to the extent that such management is
delegated to the Investment Manager pursuant to the Fund I Investment Management
Agreement. No decision of the Company may be made or action of the Company taken
without the consent of all the Members, which decisions may be made at a meeting
of the Members or pursuant to written consent. Members may participate in and
hold meetings by means of telephone or similar communications equipment, by
means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. As
soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Members will prepare an Annual
Operating Budget for the first Fiscal Year of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the enforcement of any rights that the Company may have against any
Member (or Affiliate of a Member) shall be determined solely by the other
Member.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                   DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATION OF TAX ITEMS

         6.1. Distributions.

              (a) Net Cash Flow. Not later than ten (10) days after the
applicable Calculation Date, the Members shall determine the amount of cash, if
any, which in their judgment is in excess of amounts necessary or appropriate
for operations, expenses and reserves of the Company. Such excess (the "Net Cash
Flow") shall, as soon as possible following the applicable Calculation Date, but
in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the determination of
Net Cash Flow, be distributed to the Members in accordance with this Section
6.1(a). The Net Cash Flow of the Company shall not be reduced by depreciation,
amortization, cost recovery deductions, depletion, similar allowances or other
noncash items, but shall be increased by any release or reduction of reserves
previously established (other than for the payment of expenses reserved
against). The Net Cash Flow of the Company shall be calculated effective as of
the applicable Calculation Date with respect to which the Net Cash Flow is being
distributed, regardless of the actual date of distribution. Distributions of Net
Cash Flow shall be made in accordance with a Member's respective Percentage
Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Distributions
(other than Distributions pursuant to Section 10.2) may be made by the Company
after a Notice of Default has been given pursuant to Section 11.1

                                       11
<PAGE>

hereof unless the Default to which the Notice of Default relates has been cured
as set forth in Section 11.1(c) hereof, or as the Members may otherwise agree.

              (b) Withdrawal of Capital; Limitation on Distributions. No Member
shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions to, or to
receive any Distributions from, the Company except as provided in Sections
6.1(a) and 10.2. No Member shall be entitled to demand or receive interest on
its Capital Contributions or, except as set forth in Article X hereof, any
property from the Company other than cash.

         6.2. Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses. Net Profits and Net
Losses shall be allocated in accordance with each Member's Percentage Interest.

         6.3. Withholding. Should the Company be required, pursuant to the Code,
the laws of any state or any other provision of law, to withhold any amount from
amounts otherwise distributable to any Member or on the basis of income
allocable to any Member, the Company shall withhold those amounts, and any
amounts so withheld shall be deemed to have been distributed to that Member
under this Agreement. If any sums are withheld pursuant to this provision, the
Company shall remit the sums so withheld to, and file the required forms with,
the Internal Revenue Service, the appropriate authority of any such state or
other applicable government agency. In the event of any claimed
over-withholding, if such claimed over-withholding was made by the Company in
good faith upon the advice of its tax advisors, a Member shall be limited to an
action against the Internal Revenue Service, the appropriate authority of any
such state or other applicable government agency for refund, and each Member
hereby waives any claim or right of action against the Company on account of
such withholding. Furthermore, if the amounts required to be withheld exceed the
amounts which would otherwise have been distributed to a Member, the Member
shall contribute any deficiency to the Company within ten (10) Business Days
after notice from the Company. If the deficiency is not contributed within that
time, such failure shall be considered a demand loan from the Company to that
Member, with interest at a rate equal to the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) or
the highest rate permitted by law, which interest shall be treated as an item of
Company income and accrue until discharged by the Member by repayment. Such
demand loan shall be repaid in full within ten (10) Business Days after demand
(and for this purpose any Member other than the Member on whose account such
loan was made may unilaterally make such demand for and on behalf of the
Company), and otherwise shall be repaid, without prejudice to any other remedies
at law or in equity that the Company may have, out of Distributions to which the
debtor Member would otherwise subsequently be entitled under this Agreement.

         6.4. Restoration of Funds. Except as otherwise provided by law, no
Member shall be required to restore to the Company any funds properly
distributed to it pursuant to Section 6.1 or 10.2. If any Member receives
Distributions from the Company contrary to the provisions of this Agreement,
that Member shall promptly return the same to the Company.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         (a) Tax Elections. The Members shall determine all elections to be made
by the Company for tax purposes.

         (b) Tax Matters Member. Limited REMI I is hereby designated the Tax
Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member will take no action (other than
ministerial action) without the prior approval of the Members. The Tax Matters
Member will not be required to take any action or incur any expenses for the
prosecution of any administrative or judicial remedies in its capacity as Tax
Matters Member unless the Members agree on a method of sharing expenses incurred
in connection with the prosecution of such remedies.

         7.2. Tax Matters.

              (a) The Company shall maintain a capital account for each Member
in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). In the event an asset of the Company other than cash is
distributed in kind to a Member, such capital accounts shall be adjusted for the
hypothetical "book" gain or loss that would have been realized by the Company if
the distributed asset had been sold for its Fair Market Value in a cash sale (in
order to reflect unrealized gain or loss).

              (b) For tax capital account maintenance purposes, except as
otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code,

                   (i) if the Company is dissolved pursuant to Section 10.1
during a Fiscal Year, gross income and/or deductions of the Company for such
Fiscal Year and each Fiscal Year thereafter shall be first allocated to the
Members in the amount necessary to cause the tax capital account of each Member
to be equal to its Capital Account;

                   (ii) if the Company is required to recognize any interest
income pursuant to Section 483 or Sections 1271 through 1288 of the Code in
connection with any transaction with a Member or any loss with respect to the
transfer of the Warrants to a Member, such interest income or loss shall be
specially allocated to such Member for tax purposes; and

                   (iii) Net income or loss as determined for purposes of
Section 704(b) of the Code, as adjusted by the amount, if any, specially
allocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall be allocated in accordance
with Section 6.2.

              (c) For income tax purposes, income, gain loss, and deduction
shall be allocated in accordance with the corresponding item under Section
7.2(b), except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                    OTHER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS

         8.1. Resignation of a Member. No Member may withdraw or resign from the
Company without the consent of the Members, which consent may be given or
withheld in their absolute discretion. In the event of any withdrawal or
resignation in violation of this Section 8.1, such withdrawal or resignation
shall be void ab initio, and the withdrawing or resigning Member shall be
subject to any and all remedies available to the Company or the Members under
this

                                       13
<PAGE>

Agreement, at law or in equity in respect of such default, and the Company
shall have the right to offset the damages against any amounts otherwise
distributable to the withdrawing or resigning Member. Termination of a Member's
Membership Interest upon consummation of a right to purchase under Sections 9.3
or 9.4 shall not be deemed a withdrawal or resignation in violation of this
Section 8.1.

         8.2. Admission of New Members. Other than Members that may be admitted
to the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(b), no new or additional Members may be
admitted to the Company without the written consent of the Members.

         8.3. Indemnification by Company. To the maximum extent permitted by
law, the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Member and its
partners, shareholders and members, and their respective directors, officers,
employees and shareholders and the Investment Manager (each such Person being an
"Indemnitee") from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims,
judgments, fines, settlements and damages incurred by the Indemnitee or by the
Company, arising out of any claim based upon any acts performed or omitted to be
performed by the Indemnitee in connection with the organization, management,
business or property of the Company (including in any Member's capacity as Tax
Matters Member), including costs, expenses and attorneys' fees (which may be
paid as incurred) expended in the settlement or defense of any such claims,
except to the extent that the claim giving rise to such indemnification rights:
(a) arises out of any gross negligence (which for purposes of this Agreement
shall mean an act or failure to act with reckless disregard of the consequences
thereof), willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or a material breach of
this Agreement by the Indemnitee; or (b) is governed by Section 8.4. Except as
required by Section 8.4, all judgments against the Company and/or an Indemnitee
wherein an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or other amounts payable to
an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be satisfied only from the
assets of the Company.

         8.4. Indemnification by Members. To the maximum extent permitted by
law, each Member shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
other Members and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
partners and shareholders (each such Person being a "Nonrecourse Exception
Indemnitee") from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims,
judgments, fines, settlements and damages, and any costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith, suffered or
incurred by any Nonrecourse Exception Indemnitee or arising out of any claim
that the Company or any Nonrecourse Exception Indemnitee is liable under any
exceptions or "carve-outs" to any nonrecourse provisions in any loan documents
entered into by the Company to the extent (a) such liability is attributable to
any gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or material
breach of this Agreement by the indemnifying Member or any of its Affiliates,
shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors, employees or agents,
whether on behalf of the Company or otherwise, in violation of the requirements
of any such loan documents (unless the Members agree to violate such loan
document requirements) and (b) such liability exceeds any economic benefit
received by the Nonrecourse Exception Indemnitee as a direct result of the
breach, act or omission giving rise to the claim.

         8.5. Exculpation. Except to the extent required by law, neither the
Members nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or
shareholders shall be liable or responsible to

                                       14
<PAGE>

the Company or the other Members for any act or failure to act, or any loss,
liability, damage, settlement cost or other expense incurred by reason of any
act or failure to act, of any such Person, provided such Person acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
interests of the Company, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage,
settlement cost or other expense resulted from the gross negligence, willful
misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty or material breach of this Agreement by
such Person. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that a Person did
not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Furthermore, no Affiliate of a
Member shall be entitled to exculpation hereunder in respect of any act or
omission committed or omitted in its capacity as an independent contractor to
the Company, but, rather, the terms of the contract between such Affiliate and
the Company shall control with respect to exculpation.

         8.6. Reimbursement of Members. Each of the Members, including, the Tax
Matters Member acting in such capacity, shall be entitled to reimbursement from
the Company for out-of-pocket expenses reasonably, properly and directly
incurred by such Member on behalf of the Company and provided for in an Annual
Operating Budget; provided, however, that no Member shall seek reimbursement
from the Company for any "overhead" or general and administrative expenses
incurred by that Member.

         8.7. Particular Covenants of Members.

              (a) Defend Against Creditors. Each Member shall defend at its sole
cost and expense any claim made against its Membership Interest (including its
right to Distributions from the Company) resulting from the personal
indebtedness of that Member or the claims of its individual creditors.

              (b) Notice of Claims. Each Member shall promptly notify the other
Members as to any claims asserted or threatened against its Membership Interest
(including its right to Distributions from the Company).

                                   ARTICLE IX
                    TRANSFERS OF COMPANY MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

         9.1. Condition to Transfer of Any Membership Interest. Without limiting
any other provisions of this Article IX, no Transfer of a Membership Interest
may be made unless all of the following requirements are satisfied, and any
purported Transfer of a Membership Interest failing to meet the following
requirements shall be void ab initio:

              (a) Required Documents. The transferee executes and delivers to
the Company an instrument pursuant to which it agrees to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement, and such additional instruments and documents as shall be
reasonably required by the Members (including opinions of counsel to any
transferor satisfactory to the Members with respect to the matters set forth in
Section 9.1(b)).

              (b) Restrictions. Such Transfer would not:

                                       15
<PAGE>

              (i) Securities Laws. Result in the violation of the Securities
Act, or any regulation issued pursuant thereto, or any state securities law or
regulation or any other applicable federal or state laws or order of any court
having jurisdiction over the Company;

              (ii) Events of Default. Be a violation of or an event of default
under, or give rise to a right to accelerate any indebtedness described in, any
note, mortgage, loan agreement or similar instrument or document to which the
Company is a party, unless the violation or event of default is waived by the
parties thereto;

              (iii) Regulatory Requirements. Cause the Company or any Member to
be subject to any additional regulatory requirements;

              (iv) Tax Status. Cause a substantial risk, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, that the classification of the Company as a
"partnership" for Federal or state income tax purposes could be adversely
affected;

              (v) Prohibited Transaction. Result in or create a "prohibited
transaction" or cause the Company or a Member or an Affiliate of a Member to be
or become a "party in interest", as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA, or a
"disqualified person", as defined in Section 4975 of the Code with respect to
any plan, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code,
or result in or cause the Company or any Member or any Affiliate of a Member to
be liable for tax under Chapter 42 of the Code or otherwise cause any such
Person to incur tax liabilities;

              (vi) Not Legally Competent. Be a Transfer to an individual who is
not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority under
applicable law (excluding trusts for the benefit of minors); or

              (vii) Transfer to a Foreign Person. Be a Transfer to a Person who
constitutes a "foreign person" under Section 1445 of the Code.

         (c) Costs. The transferor or transferee pays to the Company any and all
costs incurred and to be incurred by the Company in connection with the
Transfer, to the extent such costs would not have been incurred by the Company
if the Transfer had not been proposed or made.

         9.2. Transfers of Membership Interests.

              (a) Transfers Restricted. No Member may Transfer all or any
portion of its Membership Interest, except as set forth in Section 9.2(b), and
any purported Transfer of Membership Interest failing to meet the requirements
of Sections 9.1 and 9.2(b) shall be void ab initio.

              (b) Transfers of Membership Interest to Affiliates. Subject only
to the provisions of Section 9.1, a Member, with Notice to (but without consent
of) the other Member, may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Membership
Interest at any time as follows:

                                       16
<PAGE>

                   (i) CT-F1 may Transfer its Membership Interest to any wholly
owned entity of CT; and

                   (ii) Limited REMI I may Transfer its Membership Interest to
Citigroup Inc. or to any of its direct or indirect wholly owned entities, or to
Travelers Property Casualty Corp., or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned
entities.

In accepting any such assignment, any such assignee shall automatically become a
Substitute Member with all of the rights and powers granted to the assigning
Member herein but no such Transfer shall release the transferring Member of any
of its obligations hereunder, unless such release is approved in writing by the
other Member.

         9.3 Purchase/Sale Option.

              (a) Right to Purchase. In the case of an Event of Default under
Section 11.1(a)(i) or (iv) with respect to a Member, the Non-Defaulting Member
shall have the right, pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, to purchase, or to cause
a Person designated by it to purchase, all (but not less than all) of the
Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member at a price equal to 90% of the
excess, if any, of (x) the Defaulting Member's aggregate Additional Payments
over (y) the excess, if any, of (A) aggregate Distributions previously made to
the Defaulting Member over (B) the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate Net
Profits allocated as provided below to the Defaulting Member over (ii) aggregate
Net Losses allocated as provided below to the Defaulting Member. Such
Non-Defaulting Member may within thirty (30) days after such Event of Default
(the "Election Period") elect to purchase, or to cause another Person designated
by it to purchase, the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member, and the
Non-Defaulting Member shall give a Notice (the "Election Notice") to the
Defaulting Member setting forth: (i) such election, (ii) the price and (iii) a
closing date for the purchase (the "Purchase Date"), which shall be no later
than ten (10) days after the date of the Election Notice. For purposes of this
Section 9.3, the Company shall close its books as at the date of the Election
Notice. Net Profits and Net Losses, as the case may be of a Defaulting Member
shall be determined by calculating the aggregate Net Profits and aggregate Net
Losses allocated to the Defaulting Member for Fiscal Years prior to the Fiscal
Year in which any purchase under this Section 9.3 takes place together with Net
Profits and Net Losses allocated to the Defaulting Member during the Fiscal Year
in which the Election Notice is given through and including the date of the
Election Notice. On the Purchase Date, the Defaulting Member shall sell, and the
Non-Defaulting Member shall purchase, the Defaulting Member's Membership
Interest to be sold under the Election Notice for such price, which shall be
paid in immediately available funds. Any loans previously made to the Company by
the Defaulting Member shall be due and payable on the Purchase Date. In the
event an Election Notice is not delivered within the Election Period, the
Non-Defaulting Member shall have waived its rights under this Section 9.3 with
respect to that Event of Default.

              (b) Representations. At the closing of the purchase and sale of a
Membership Interest pursuant to Section 9.3, the Defaulting Member shall warrant
to the Non-Defaulting Member or its designee that the Membership Interest sold
is free and clear of all liens, security interests and other legal and equitable
claims of third parties. Such warranty shall survive the closing of the purchase
and sale of the Membership Interest, and in the event of any breach of such
warranty, the Non-Defaulting Member or its designee may proceed against any and
all

                                       17
<PAGE>

personal assets of the Defaulting Member to recover damages on account of
such breach, notwithstanding the provisions hereof and Section 18-303 of the
Delaware Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Defaulting Member's
Membership Interest is subject to any lien, security interest and other legal
and equitable claims of third parties, the Non-Defaulting Member or its designee
may elect (a) to cause all amounts (or a portion thereof) payable to the
Defaulting Member to first be applied to discharge such lien, security interest
and other legal and equitable claims of third parties, and pay only the balance,
if any, to the Defaulting Member (b) to take the Membership Interest subject to
such lien, security interest and other legal and equitable claims of third
parties, and to reduce the amount otherwise payable by the Non-Defaulting Member
or its designee to the Defaulting Member by the amount of such lien, security
interest and other legal and equitable claims of third parties, or (c) to
terminate the purchase and sale proceedings because of the existence of such
lien, security interest and other legal and equitable claims of third parties,
and in such event to pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity.

                                   ARTICLE X
                          DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

              (a) Bankruptcy of the Company. The Bankruptcy of the Company;

              (b) Agreement to Dissolve. The decision of the Members to dissolve
the Company pursuant to Section 11.2 or for any reason;

              (c) Judicial Dissolution. The entry of a decree of judicial
dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act;

              (d) End of Term. The tenth anniversary date hereof; or

              (e) Unwind. The completion of the Unwind.

The occurrence of an Event of Default as to any Member shall not dissolve the
Company.

         10.2. Winding up Affairs and Distribution of Assets.

              (a) Liquidation. Upon the dissolution of the Company, other than
as set forth in Section 10.2(c) hereof, the Members shall choose a liquidating
Member ("Liquidating Member"), and the Liquidating Member shall proceed to wind
up the affairs of the Company, liquidate the remaining property and assets of
the Company and wind up and terminate the business of the Company. Any such
Liquidating Member shall cause a full accounting of the assets and liabilities
of the Company to be taken and shall cause the assets to be liquidated and the
business to be wound up as promptly as possible.

              (b) Payments of Proceeds Upon Liquidation. The proceeds of
liquidation of the Company shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the expenses of such liquidation; (ii) second, to the debts and
liabilities of the Company owing to third parties

                                       18
<PAGE>

(including payment owed to the Investment Manager pursuant to the Investment
Management Agreement); (iii) third, a reasonable reserve shall be set up to
provide for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the
Company owing to third parties, and at the expiration of such period as the
Members may deem advisable, the balance remaining in such reserve shall be
distributed as provided herein; (iv) fourth, to the debts and liabilities of the
Company owing to the Members, including any reimbursements payable under this
Agreement; (v) fifth, the Warrant Purchase Note shall be distributed to Limited
REMI I, and (vi) sixth, unless either party shall have exercised the purchase
right pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof or the Unwind Right, to the Members, in
accordance with their respective Capital Accounts (after taking into account all
allocations and prior Distributions). Assets distributed in kinds shall be taken
into account at their Fair Market Value.

              (c) Unwind; Unwind Rights. If the Unwind Right shall have been
exercised pursuant to the Venture Agreement, the Members shall determine the
Fair Market Value of the Company's assets remaining after setting aside or
paying out sums and assets referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of Section
10.2(b) hereof (the "Net Unwind Assets"). The Net Unwind Assets shall be divided
into four pools with as nearly equal Fair Market Values as is reasonably
practicable, whereupon the first three pools shall be distributed in kind as
follows: Limited REMI I shall select the first pool and it shall be distributed
to Limited REMI I; CT-F1 shall select the second pool and it shall be
distributed to CT-F1; and Limited REMI I shall select the third pool and it
shall be distributed to Limited REMI I. Limited REMI I shall have the option to
cause the fourth pool to be distributed to it in kind or to sell the fourth pool
for cash, provided, however, that if Limited REMI I elects to sell the fourth
pool for cash it shall provide CT-F1 with five (5) days Notice of such election
and CT-F1 shall have ten (10) days from the date of distribution of the third
pool to exercise its right but not the obligation to purchase the fourth pool
from Limited REMI I for cash at the value previously agreed upon and provided,
further, that if CT-F1 does not purchase such fourth pool from Limited REMI I
for cash payable promptly after any such exercise of such right by CT-F1, the
parties shall cause the fourth pool to be liquidated. The proceeds from any such
liquidation shall be distributed to Limited REMI I. A Member that receives a
distribution of pools (or proceeds thereof) with an aggregate Fair Market Value
in excess of such Member's Percentage Interest in the aggregate Fair Market
Value of all the pools shall promptly pay the amount of such excess to the other
Member in cash; provided, however, that in making such calculation, if the
fourth pool is sold as provided herein, the net proceeds from the sale shall be
used in lieu of the Fair Market Value of the fourth pool.

         10.3. No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, no Member shall have any obligation to make any contribution to the
capital of the Company on account of any negative balance on its Capital Account
or tax capital account, whether at liquidation or otherwise, and the negative
balance of that Member's Capital Account or tax capital account shall not be
considered a debt owned by that Member to the Company or to any other person for
any purpose whatsoever.

         10.4. Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall be entitled to look
only to the assets of the Company for the return of that Member's positive
Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for its Capital Contributions
and/or share of Net Profits (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other
Member.

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

         11.1. Default.

              (a) Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute a default ("Default") hereunder by the affected Member:

                   (i) A Member Transfers its Membership Interest other than as
set forth in Article IX;

                   (ii) The voluntary dissolution of the Member;

                   (iii) The Bankruptcy of the Member;

                   (iv) A Member materially breaches any of its obligations
hereunder other than as described in clause (vii) of this Section 11.1(a);

                   (v) A Member commits an act of fraud involving the Company
(which materially damages the Company) or intentionally misappropriates
significant funds of the Company;

                   (vi) the Investment Manager commits an act of fraud involving
the Company (which materially damages the Company) or intentionally
misappropriates significant funds of the Company;

                   (vii) There shall have been a failure by CT-F1 to cause
compliance with the Key Individuals Requirement, or the Investment Manager shall
have materially breached the Fund I Investment Management Agreement other than
as set forth in the foregoing clause (vi).

                   (viii) A Member causes the Company to default in an
obligation required to be performed by the Company pursuant to the Venture
Agreement or the Investment Management Agreement.

              (b) Notice of Default. If a Default occurs with respect to a
Member, the other Member (the "Non-Defaulting Member") shall have the right to
give that Member (the "Defaulting Member") Notice of that Default (a "Notice of
Default"). The Notice of Default shall set forth the nature of the Default with
reasonable specificity.

              (c) Period to Cure. A Member who shall have received a Notice of
Default with respect to a Default under any of clauses (i), (iv), (vii) or
(viii) of Section 11.1(a) shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt
of such Notice of Default to cure such Default and the Notice of Default with
respect thereto shall not be effective unless such Default is not cured within
such thirty (30) day period. In such case, the Defaulting member shall lose no
rights

                                       20
<PAGE>

hereunder with respect to a Default that has been so cured. However, if such
Default was not cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice of
Default, then the Default shall constitute an "Event of Default", and Limited
REMI I or CT-F1, as the case may be, shall have the rights set forth in Section
11.2.

         11.2. Remedies Upon Event of Default. (A) Subject to Section 11.1(c),
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by a Defaulting Member under Section
11.1(a)(i), the Non-Defaulting Member may elect to do any one or more of (i),
(ii) and/or (iii) under this Section 11.2 after Notice to the Defaulting Member;
(B) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by a Defaulting Member under
Section 11.1(a)(ii) or (iii), the Non-Defaulting Member may only elect to do
(ii) under this Section 11.2 after Notice to the Defaulting Member; (C) Subject
to Section 11.1(c) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by a Defaulting

after Notice to the Defaulting Member; (F) upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default by a Defaulting Member hereunder or by the Investment Manager under the
Investment Management Agreement as set forth in Section 11.1(a)(vii) of this
Agreement, the Non-Defaulting Member (or the Member not affiliated with the
Investment Manager in the case of such a Default by the Investment Manager) may
do only (ii) under this Section 11.2 after Notice to the Defaulting Member or
the Investment Manager as the case may be, and (G) upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default by a Defaulting Member under Section 11.1(a)(viii) the
Non-Defaulting Member may elect to do any one or more of (i), (ii) and/or (iii)
under Section 11.2 after Notice to the Defaulting Member:

                   (i) Purchase or cause a Person designated by it to purchase
the Defaulting Member's Interest pursuant to Section 9.3, in which case the Fund
I Investment Management Agreement shall terminate upon the closing of such
purchase;

                   (ii) Exercise the Unwind Right, in which case the Fund I
Investment Management Agreement shall terminate upon the completion of the

remedy provided in this Agreement, at law or in equity.

other than with respect to Fair Market Value, then the parties shall resolve
such dispute pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Venture Agreement.

         11.4. Waiver of Partition and Certain Other Rights. Except with respect
to any exercise of the Unwind Right, each of the Members irrevocably waives any
right or power that it might have: (a) to cause the Company or any of its assets
to be partitioned; (b) to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of
the Company under any applicable law; (c) to cause the appointment of a receiver
for all or any portion of the assets of the Company; or (d) to file a

complaint, or to institute proceedings at law or in equity, to cause the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, other than in accordance with this
Agreement. Each of the Members has been induced to enter into this Agreement in
reliance upon the waivers of this Section 11.4, and without those waivers no
Member would have entered into this Agreement.

requisite limited liability company power and authority to enter into, execute

<PAGE>

              (c) Regulatory and Other Approvals. No consent, approval,
authorization, notice, filing, exemption or other requirement must be obtained

order or any material contract to which it is a party.

              (d) Securities Matters. It (i) is acquiring its Membership
Interest for itself for investment purposes only, and not with a view to any
resale or distribution of such Membership Interest, (ii) has been advised and
understands that such Membership Interest has not been and will not be

and, therefore, cannot be resold unless such Membership Interest is registered
under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or unless
exemptions from registration are available, and (iii) has, either alone or with
its "purchaser representatives," as that term is defined in Rule 501(h) under
the Securities Act, such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment
in the Company. It further acknowledges that the Company has made available to
such Member, at a reasonable time prior to its acquisition of its Membership
Interest, the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the
terms and conditions of such acquisition and to obtain any additional
information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information
furnished by the Company in connection with such acquisition.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                           BOOKS, RECORDS AND REPORTS

         13.1. Maintenance of Books. The Company shall keep complete and
accurate books and records of accounts maintained in accordance with GAAP. Tax
records shall be maintained in accordance with the accrual method of accounting.
The books of account for the Company shall be maintained at the principal office
of the Company.

         13.2. Records to be Maintained. The Company shall maintain the
following records:

              (a) A current list of the full name, set forth in alphabetical
order, and last known mailing address together with the Capital Contribution and
the share of profit and losses of each Member or information from which such
share can be readily derived;

              (b) A copy of the Certificate of Formation and all amendments

restatements hereof; and

              (d) A copy of the Company's Federal, state and local income tax

years.

         13.3. Inspection by Members; Confidential Information. (a) Any Member
shall have the right to inspect and copy at such Member's expense, any
documents, including financial

                                       23
<PAGE>

statements maintained by the Company and other information regarding the affairs
of the Company, as is reasonable.

              (b) The Members acknowledge that from time to time, they may
receive information from or regarding the Company in the nature of trade secrets
or that otherwise is confidential, the release of which may be damaging to the
Company or Persons with which it does business. Each Member shall hold in strict
confidence any information it receives which is subject to a confidentiality
agreement binding on the Company or any of its employees, whether as a principal
or as an agent, and may not disclose such information to any Person other than
another Member except for disclosures (i) compelled by law (but such Member must
notify the other Member promptly of any request for that information, before
disclosing it if practicable), (ii) to advisers or representatives of the Member
or Persons to which that Member's Membership Interest may be assigned as
permitted by this Agreement, but only if the recipients have agreed to be bound
by the provisions of this Section 13.3(b), (iii) of information that Member also
has received from a source independent of the Company that the Member reasonably
believes obtained that information without breach of any obligation of
confidentiality, (iv) in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality
agreements or (v) upon the consent of each Member, but only if such employee is
informed that such information is to be held in strict confidence. The Members
acknowledge that breach of the provisions of this Section 13.3(b) may cause
irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages are inadequate,
difficult to compute, or both. Accordingly, the Members agree that the
provisions of this Section 13.3(b) may be enforced by specific performance.

         13.4. Books and Tax Reports. The books of account shall be closed
promptly after the end of each Fiscal Year. Within ninety (90) days after the
conclusion of each Fiscal Year, each Member shall be provided with a Form K-1
and/or other information statement with respect to its distributive share of
income, gains, deductions, losses and credits for income tax reporting purposes
for the previous Fiscal Year, together with any other information concerning the
Company necessary for the preparation of a Member's income tax return(s), all
under the supervision and as determined by the Tax Matters Member in its
reasonable discretion. With the sole exception of mathematical errors in
computation, these tax statements and the information contained therein shall be
deemed conclusive and binding upon such Member. Each Member agrees that it shall
not (i) treat, on its income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit relating to its interest in the Company in a manner
inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Members as reflected on the
Form K-1 or other information statement furnished by the Company to such Member
for use in preparing its income tax returns or (ii) file any claim for refund
relating to any such item based on, or which would result in, such inconsistent
treatment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Limited REMI I shall
cause the Company's income tax returns for its first Fiscal Year to be prepared
and furnished to CT-F1 for its review and comments at least fifteen (15)
Business Days before the due date of the tax return. If CT-F1 does not furnish
comments to Limited REMI I within fifteen (15) Business Days, Limited REMI I may
cause the Company to file such tax returns.
