            WHEREAS, Cornerstone and Colonial Properties Trust, an Alabama real

meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement);

            WHEREAS, the Colonial Securityholder is the beneficial and record

hereafter, the "COLONIAL COMMON SHARES") as more particularly described on
Schedule 1 hereto;

            WHEREAS, the Colonial Securityholder is the beneficial and record
owner of options to purchase Colonial Common Shares (such options, together with

Common Shares in a transaction other than a transaction contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, or (d) take any action which is intended to have the effect of
preventing or disabling the Colonial Securityholder from performing its
obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
prevent the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition
of any of such Colonial Common Shares, provided that the purchaser, transferee,
pledgee or assignee thereof agrees in writing, prior to such sale, transfer,
pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition, to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. VOTING

            (a) During the Term, the Colonial Securityholder shall cast or cause

agreement (other than the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated
thereby) made or taken in opposition to or in competition with the Merger.

            (b) The Colonial Securityholder will retain the right to vote its

                  Section 5.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of
this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule
of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term
or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the
parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to
effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be
consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

                  Section 5.05. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both
written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the
subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant
to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), except that the Company may
assign all or any of its

                                       5
<PAGE>
rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of the Company; provided,
that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations
hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.

                  Section 5.06. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree
that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the
parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in
addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

                  Section 5.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State (other
than those provisions set forth herein that are required to be governed by the
DGCL). All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal
court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York. The parties
hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal
court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the
purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by
any party hereto and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of
motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not
subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its
property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or
that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced
in or by any of the above-named courts.

                  Section 5.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  Section 5.09. Headings. The descriptive headings contained in
this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

                  Section 5.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that
no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it
and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the
mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 5.10.

                  Section 5.11. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or
modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties
hereto or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 5.11.

extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other
parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties
of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant
hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any
condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver
shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or
parties to be bound thereby.
