The Reporting Persons do not own any Class A Common Shares of Beneficial

Convertible Trust Preferred Securities issued by CT Convertible Trust I (and not
by the Issuer) (the "Preferred Securities"). The Preferred Securities may be
converted into 8.25% Step Up Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures of the
Issuer (the "Debentures") at the rate of one Preferred Security for each $1,000
principal amount of Debentures, and the Debentures are convertible into Class A
Common Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Issuer at an initial rate of 85.47
shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to antidilution
adjustments.

     (a)   Amount Beneficially Owned:

           (1)  Trust I:  2,136,750 shares [1]
           (2)  Trust II:  2,136,750 shares [1]
           (3)  GMIMCo:  4,273,500 shares [1]

     (b)   Percent of Class (based upon 18,229,650 shares outstanding as
           reported in Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1998):

[1]  Trust I and Trust II are pension trusts formed pursuant to the laws of the
     State of New York and the United States of America under and for the
     benefit of certain employee benefit plans of General Motors Corporation
     ("GM") and its subsidiaries. These shares may be deemed to be owned
     beneficially by GMIMCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM. GMIMCo is
     registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of
     1940. GMIMCo's principal business is providing investment advice and
     investment management services with respect to the assets of certain
     employee benefit plans of GM and its subsidiaries (the "Plans") and with
     respect to the assets of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of GM and
     associated entities. GMIMCo is serving as investment manager with respect
     to these shares and in that capacity it has the sole power to direct Mellon
     Bank, N.A., as the Trustee for Trust I and Trust II (the "Trustee"), as to
     the voting and disposition of these shares. Because of the Trustee's
     limited role, beneficial ownership of the shares by the Trustee is
     disclaimed.

[2]  Trust I and Trust II invest in a variety of investment media, including
     publicly traded and privately placed securities. Such investments could
     include Common Shares and/or other securities of the Issuer in addition to
     those referred to in this Statement ("Additional Securities"). The
     investment and voting decisions regarding any Additional Securities which
     might be owned by such Trusts are made by the trustees thereof or unrelated
     investment managers, who, in so acting, act independently of the



                                Page 7 of 10
<PAGE>
     Reporting Persons (although the appointment of the trustees and the
     investment managers is subject to authorization of GMIMCo). The Reporting
     Persons do not have or share voting power or investment power over any
     Additional Securities which might be held by such Trusts. No information
     regarding any such holdings by such Trusts is contained in this Statement.

Item 5     Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

           Not applicable.

Item 6     Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

           Not applicable.

           the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company.

           Not applicable.

Item 8     Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.

               By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and
           belief, the securities referred to above were acquired and are held
           in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired and not held
           for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the
           control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are
           not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction
           having that purpose or effect.
