                                     PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

DEVELOPMENT AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

          Information concerning the business of CRIIMI MAE Inc. (CRIIMI MAE) is
contained in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, and in Notes 1, 5 and 13 of the notes to
the consolidated financial statements of CRIIMI MAE contained in Part IV (filed
in response to Item 8 hereof), which is incorporated herein by reference.

EMPLOYEES

          CRIIMI MAE has no employees.  Services are performed for CRIIMI MAE by
CRI Insured Mortgage Associates Adviser Limited Partnership (the Adviser) and
agents retained by it.

          As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial
statements on pages 62 through 65 of the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders,
CRIIMI MAE's Board of Directors has determined that it is in CRIIMI MAE's best
interest to consider a proposed transaction in which CRIIMI MAE would become a
self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust.  It is
contemplated that substantially all of the agents retained by the Adviser to
perform services on behalf of CRIIMI MAE will become employees of CRIIMI MAE in
conjunction with such a transaction.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

          CRIIMI MAE does not hold title to any real estate. CRIIMI MAE
indirectly holds interests in real estate through CRI Liquidating REIT, Inc.'s
(CRI Liquidating) equity investment in three Participating Mortgage Investments.
These investments were comprised of two components:  85% of the original
investment amount was a GNMA Mortgage-Backed Security; and 15% of the original
investment amount was an uninsured equity contribution to the limited
partnership (a Participation) which owns the underlying property.  During 1993,
CRI Liquidating sold the GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities, but retained its
Participations. In 1994, CRI Liquidating entered into a revised option agreement
granting the option to an affiliate of the general partner of the limited
partnership which owns one of the properties to purchase CRI Liquidating's
limited partnership interest in such limited partnership on or before November
30, 1997.  The aggregate carrying value of these Participations represents less
than 1% of CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated assets as of December 31, 1993 and
1994.

          Although CRIIMI MAE does not own the related real estate, the
government insured and guaranteed mortgage investments (Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages) in which CRIIMI MAE has invested are first or second
liens, or are collateralized by first or second liens, on the respective
residential apartment, nursing home or townhouse complexes.  The subordinated
securities in which CRIIMI MAE has invested are collateralized by mortgages
placed on multifamily and commercial property.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BACKGROUND

     CRIIMI MAE Inc. (CRIIMI MAE) (formerly CRI Insured Mortgage Association,
Inc.), is an infinite-life, actively managed real estate investment trust
(REIT), which specializes in government insured and guaranteed mortgage
investments secured by multifamily housing complexes (Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages) located throughout the United States. CRIIMI MAE's
principal objectives are to provide stable or growing quarterly cash
distributions to its shareholders while preserving and protecting its capital.
CRIIMI MAE has sought to achieve these objectives by investing in Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages and, to a lesser degree, higher yielding uninsured
subordinated securities using a combination of debt and equity financing.
CRIIMI MAE and its subsidiary, CRI Liquidating REIT, Inc. (CRI Liquidating), are
Maryland corporations.

     In addition to its portfolio of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages
and other assets, CRIIMI MAE owns approximately 57% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of CRI Liquidating, a finite-life, self-liquidating
REIT which owns Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages.  CRIIMI MAE and CRI
Liquidating were formed in 1989 to effect the merger into CRI Liquidating (the
CRIIMI Merger) of three federally insured mortgage funds sponsored by C.R.I.,
Inc. (CRI), a Delaware corporation formed in 1974:  CRI Insured Mortgage
Investments Limited Partnership (CRIIMI I); CRI Insured Mortgage Investments II,
Inc. (CRIIMI II); and CRI Insured Mortgage Investments III Limited Partnership
(CRIIMI III; and, together with CRIIMI I and CRIIMI II, the CRIIMI Funds).  The
CRIIMI Merger was effected to provide certain potential benefits to investors in
the CRIIMI Funds, including the elimination of unrelated business taxable income
for certain tax-exempt investors, the diversification of investments, the
reduction of general overhead and administrative costs as a percentage of assets
and total income and the simplification of tax reporting information.  In the
CRIIMI Merger, which was approved by investors in each of the CRIIMI Funds and
subsequently consummated on November 27, 1989, investors in the CRIIMI Funds
received, at their option, shares of CRI Liquidating common stock or shares of
CRIIMI MAE common stock.

     Investors in the CRIIMI Funds that received shares of CRIIMI MAE common
stock became shareholders in an infinite-life, actively managed REIT having the
potential to increase the size of its portfolio and enhance the returns to its
shareholders.  CRIIMI MAE shareholders retained their economic interests in the
assets of the CRIIMI Funds which were transferred to CRI Liquidating through the
issuance of one CRI Liquidating share to CRIIMI MAE for each share of CRIIMI MAE
common stock issued to investors in the CRIIMI Merger.  Upon the completion of
the CRIIMI Merger, CRIIMI MAE held a total of 20,361,807 CRI Liquidating shares,
or approximately 67% of the issued and outstanding CRI Liquidating shares.

     Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated November 28, 1989 between
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating, CRIIMI MAE sold 3,162,500 of its CRI Liquidating
shares in an underwritten public

offering which was consummated in November 1993 reducing CRIIMI MAE's ownership
of CRI Liquidating to approximately 57%.

     Investors in the CRIIMI Funds that received shares of CRI Liquidating
common stock, as well as CRIIMI MAE, became shareholders in a finite-life, self-
liquidating REIT, the assets of which consist primarily of Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages and other assets formerly held by the CRIIMI Funds.  CRI
Liquidating intends to hold, manage and dispose of its mortgage investments in
accordance with the objectives and policies of the CRIIMI Funds, including
disposing of any remaining mortgage investments by 1997 through an orderly
liquidation.

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating are governed by a board of directors, a
majority of whom are independent directors with extensive industry related
experience.  The Board of Directors of CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating have
engaged CRI Insured Mortgage Associates Adviser Limited Partnership (the
Adviser) to act in the capacity of adviser to CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating.
The Adviser's general partner is CRI and its operations are conducted by CRI's
employees.  CRIIMI MAE's and CRI Liquidating's executive officers are senior
executive officers of CRI.  The Adviser manages CRIIMI MAE's portfolio of
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and other assets with the goal of
maximizing CRIIMI MAE's value, and conducts CRIIMI MAE's day-to-day operations.
Under an advisory agreement between CRIIMI MAE and the Adviser, the Adviser and
its affiliates receive certain fees and expense reimbursements.

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating have qualified and intend to continue to
qualify as REITs under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code.  As REITs,
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating do not pay taxes at the corporate level.
Qualification for treatment as REITs requires CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating to
meet certain criteria, including certain requirements regarding the nature of
their ownership, assets, income and distributions of taxable income.

PROPOSAL TO BECOME SELF-MANAGED AND SELF-ADMINISTERED

     CRIIMI MAE's board of directors has determined that it is in CRIIMI MAE's
best interest to consider a proposed transaction in which CRIIMI MAE would
become a self-managed and self-administered REIT.  As previously discussed,
CRIIMI MAE's portfolio management and day-to-day operations are currently
conducted by the Adviser, which is affiliated with CRI.  CRI is owned by William
B. Dockser and H. William Willoughby, who are executive officers and directors
of CRIIMI MAE.  CRIIMI MAE's board has formed a special committee comprised of
the independent directors to evaluate a proposed merger of CRI's Mortgage
Businesses, including the advisory business conducted on CRIIMI MAE's behalf and
certain other mortgage investment, servicing, origination and advisory
businesses which CRI currently conducts through various affiliates (CRI Mortgage
Businesses).  The proposal calls for CRIIMI MAE to acquire the CRI Mortgage
Businesses, including CRICO Mortgage Company, Inc., (CRICO) and other
CRI-affiliates by:

     -    issuing common stock to CRI's owners, William B. Dockser and H.
          William Willoughby, and certain other executive officers of CRIIMI
          MAE, with the exact number of shares determined by dividing $21.4
          million by the aggregate average of the high and low sales prices of
          CRIIMI MAE's common stock over the 10 trading days preceding the
          execution of a definitive merger agreement, provided that at the
          closing of the transaction the stock issued cannot total more than
          $22.9 million or more than 2,761,290 shares,

     -    assuming $9.1 million of outstanding debt of the CRI Mortgage
          Businesses, and

     -    granting CRI's owners options valued at approximately $1.5 million to
          purchase an additional three million shares of CRIIMI MAE common
          stock.  (Options for two million shares will vest pro rata over five
          years and are exercisable at $1.50 per share over the average high and
          low sales prices during the 10 trading days preceding the date of the
          closing of this transaction.  Options for one million shares will vest
          pro rata over five years and are exercisable at $4.00 per share over
          the same average high and low price.)  The options expire eight years
          after issuance.

     The special committee of independent directors has engaged Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated to act as CRIIMI MAE's financial advisor in
connection with the proposed merger and Duff & Phelps Capital Markets Co. to
render an opinion as to the fairness of the proposed merger to the stockholders
of CRIIMI MAE.  The proposed merger is subject to a number of conditions,
including the negotiation of a definitive merger agreement, the delivery of a
fairness opinion by Duff & Phelps Capital Markets Co., final approval by the
special committee of independent directors and the approval of the holders of a
majority of CRIIMI MAE's common shares voted at a meeting where a quorum is
present.

     If this transaction is approved by the special committee of independent
directors and the stockholders, all payments made by CRIIMI MAE under the
advisory agreement to the Adviser and to CRI would cease upon the consummation
of the transaction and CRIIMI MAE would no longer have a guaranteed $700,000
distribution from CRI/AIM Investment Limited Partnership.  Although expense
reimbursements to CRI by CRIIMI MAE would no longer be made, CRIIMI MAE would
incur these expenses directly.

     The proposed transaction has no impact on the payments required to be made
by CRI Liquidating, other than that the expense reimbursement currently paid by
CRI Liquidating to CRI in connection with the provision of services by its
Adviser will be paid to CRIIMI MAE subsequent to the consummation of the
transaction.

  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

     In March 1994, CRIIMI MAE completed a public offering of an additional
5,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $11.25 per share
(the Equity Offering).  The net proceeds of the Equity Offering totaled
approximately $52.2 million, which CRIIMI MAE used primarily to acquire
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages.  The costs of the Equity Offering,
including professional fees, filing fees, printing costs and other items,
approximated $.7 million. Additionally, underwriting fees in an amount which
approximated 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds were incurred.

     On June 23, 1994, CRIIMI MAE filed with the SEC a Shelf Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 33-54267) in order to register for
sale Debt Securities, Preferred Shares and Common Shares of CRIIMI MAE to the
public in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million.  CRIIMI MAE may
from time to time offer in one or more series the securities in amounts, at
prices and on terms to be set forth in supplements to the registration
statement.  On November 3, 1994, CRIIMI MAE sold 500,000 shares of common stock,
which were formerly held in treasury, under the shelf registration statement at
an offering price of $8.744 per share.  Net offering proceeds of approximately
$4.3 million were invested in subordinated securities.  Additionally, on January
13, 1995, CRIIMI MAE sold 625,000 shares of common stock under the shelf
registration statement at an offering price of $6.867 per share for net proceeds
of approximately $4.2 million.  CRIIMI MAE intends to use the proceeds from this
sale of securities to acquire additional mortgage investments, sponsor and/or
participate in securitized mortgage programs, and to make other investments and
acquisitions relating to CRIIMI MAE's mortgage business.

     Beginning in the third quarter of 1994, CRIIMI MAE implemented a dividend
reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the Plan) which allows shareholders who
elect to participate in the Plan (Participants) to purchase additional CRIIMI
MAE shares at a 2% discount through the reinvestment of CRIIMI MAE's dividends
and through optional cash payments.  Common shares purchased under the Plan may
be, at CRIIMI MAE's option, newly issued common shares or common shares
purchased for Participants in the open market.  The price of common shares
purchased from CRIIMI MAE with reinvested dividends will be 98% of the average
of the closing sales prices of the common shares as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the five trading days prior to the date on
which dividends are paid subject to any threshold price restrictions, as more
fully described in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC
covering the shares to be issued under the Plan.  The price to Participants of
common shares purchased in the open market with reinvested dividends will be 98%
of the average price of common shares purchased for the Plan by the Agent over
the period during which such common shares are purchased, exclusive of taxes and
commissions.  CRIIMI MAE reserves the right to modify the pricing or any other
provision of the Plan at any time.  Participants in the Plan may have cash
dividends on all or a portion of their common shares automatically reinvested.
Participants may terminate their accounts at any time in the manner

provided for in the Plan.  On December 30, 1994, 42,446 shares of stock were
issued under the Plan at a price of $6.6885 per share.

CRIIMI MAE INVESTMENTS

     CRIIMI MAE invests in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and
subordinated securities collateralized by multifamily and commercial real
estate.  CRIIMI MAE also holds the sole general partnership interests in four
publicly held limited partnerships and a limited partnership interest in the
advisor to those entities.  The following is a summary of these investments at
December 31, 1994.

INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGES

     As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, CRIIMI MAE directly owned 126 and 173
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and Government Insured Construction
Mortgages, respectively, which had a weighted average net effective interest
rate of approximately 8.22% and 8.00%, a weighted average remaining term of
approximately 34 years and 33 years, and a tax basis of approximately $499
million and $703 million, respectively.

     As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, CRIIMI MAE indirectly owned through its
subsidiary, CRI Liquidating, 63 and 44 Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages,
respectively, which had a weighted average net effective interest rate of
approximately 9.97% and 10.02%, a weighted average remaining term of
approximately 27 years and 26 years, and a tax basis of approximately $173
million and $123 million, respectively.

     Thus, on a consolidated basis, as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, CRIIMI MAE
owned, directly or indirectly, 189 and 217 Government Insured Multifamily
Mortgages and Government Insured Construction Mortgages, respectively.  These
investments (including Mortgages Held for Disposition) had a weighted average
net effective interest rate of approximately 8.70%, a weighted average remaining
term of approximately 32 years and a tax basis of approximately $672 million, as
of December 31, 1993.  These amounts compare to a weighted average net effective
interest rate of approximately 8.33%, a weighted average remaining term of
approximately 32 years and a tax basis of approximately $826 million, as of
December 31, 1994.  In addition, as of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had
committed approximately $9.0 million for advances on FHA-Insured Loans relating
to the construction or rehabilitation of multifamily housing projects, including
nursing homes and intermediate care facilities (Government Insured Construction
Mortgages).

     As discussed below, CRIIMI MAE makes direct investments in primarily two
categories of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages at, near, or above par
value (Near Par or Premium Mortgage Investments).

     FHA-Insured Investments--The first category of Near Par or Premium Mortgage
Investments in which CRIIMI MAE invests consists

<PAGE>

                                       29

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

of participation certificates evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial interest in
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages insured by FHA pursuant to provisions
of the National Housing Act (FHA-Insured Loans).  All of the FHA-Insured Loans
in which CRIIMI MAE invests are insured by HUD for effectively 99% of their
current face value.  As part of its investment strategy, CRIIMI MAE also invests
in Government Insured Construction Mortgages which involve a two-tier financing
process in which a short-term loan covering construction costs is converted into
a permanent loan.  CRIIMI MAE also becomes the holder of the permanent loan upon
conversion.  The construction loan is funded in HUD-approved draws based upon
the progress of construction.  The construction loans are GNMA-guaranteed or
insured by HUD.  The construction loan generally does not amortize during the
construction period. Amortization begins upon conversion of the construction
loan into a permanent loan, which generally occurs within a 24-month period from
the initial endorsement by HUD.  Approximately 31% of CRIIMI MAE's near par or
premium mortgage investments are FHA-Insured Loans or Government Insured
Construction Mortgages as of December 31, 1994.

     Mortgage-Backed Securities--The second category of Near Par or Premium
Mortgage Investments in which CRIIMI MAE invests consists of federally
guaranteed mortgage-backed securities or other securities backed by Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages issued by entities other than GNMA
(Mortgage-Backed Securities) and Mortgage-Backed Securities 100% guaranteed as
to principal and interest by GNMA (GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities).  As of
December 31, 1994, all of CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments in this category
were GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities in
which CRIIMI MAE invests are backed by Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages
insured in whole by HUD, or insured by HUD and a coinsured lender under HUD
mortgage insurance programs and the coinsurance provisions of the National
Housing Act.  The Mortgage-Backed Securities in which CRIIMI MAE is permitted to
invest, although none have been acquired as of December 31, 1994, are backed by
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages which are insured in whole by HUD under
HUD mortgage insurance programs.  Approximately 69% of CRIIMI MAE's near par or
premium mortgage investments are GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities as of December
31, 1994.

     CRI Liquidating Mortgage Investments--CRI Liquidating's mortgage
investments consist solely of the Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages it
acquired from the CRIIMI Funds in the CRIIMI Merger.  The CRIIMI Funds invested
primarily in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages issued or sold pursuant to
programs of GNMA and FHA.

     The majority of CRI Liquidating's mortgage investments were acquired by the
CRIIMI Funds at a discount to face value (Discount Mortgage Investments) on the
belief that based on economic, market, legal and other factors, such Discount
Mortgage Investments might be sold for cash, prepaid as a result of a conversion
to condominium housing or otherwise disposed of or refinanced in a manner
requiring prepayment or permitting other profitable

disposition three to twelve years after acquisition by the CRIIMI Funds.

     Acquisitions--During 1994, CRIIMI MAE directly acquired 51 Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages with an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$194 million with a weighted average net effective interest rate of
approximately 7.79% and a weighted average remaining term of approximately 32
years.  In addition, during 1994, CRIIMI MAE funded advances of approximately
$41.8 million on Government Insured Construction Mortgages with a weighted
average net effective interest rate of approximately 8.22%.  As previously
discussed, as of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had committed to make additional
advances on Government Insured Construction Mortgages, totalling approximately
$9.0 million.

     Dispositions--Dispositions result from prepayments of, defaults on and
sales of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages.  Decreases in market interest
rates could result in the prepayment of certain mortgage investments.  CRIIMI
MAE believes, however, that declining interest rates result in increased
prepayments of single-family mortgages to a greater extent than mortgages on
multifamily properties.  This is partially due to lockouts (i.e. prepayment
prohibitions), prepayment penalties or difficulties in obtaining refinancing for
multifamily dwellings.  However, based on current interest rates, CRIIMI MAE
does not expect to experience increased prepayment levels as compared to prior
years.

     Decreases in occupancy levels, rental rates or value of any property
underlying a mortgage investment may result in the mortgagor being unable or
unwilling to make required payments on the mortgage and thereby defaulting.  The
proceeds from the assignment (following a default) or prepayment of a Discount
Mortgage Investment are expected to exceed the amortized cost of the investment.
The proceeds from the assignment or prepayment of a Near Par or Premium Mortgage
Investment are expected to approximate the amortized cost of the investment.

     On an amortized cost and tax basis, approximately 99% of CRIIMI MAE's
directly held mortgages are Near Par or Premium Mortgage Investments.
Therefore, the proceeds from a default or prepayment of any of CRIIMI MAE's
mortgage investments are expected to approximate the amortized cost and tax
basis of such mortgages.

     On an amortized cost basis, as of December 31, 1994, approximately 89% of
CRI Liquidating's mortgages were Discount Mortgage Investments and approximately
11% were Near Par or Premium Mortgage Investments.  On a tax basis, all of CRI
Liquidating's mortgages are Discount Mortgage Investments.  Therefore, whether
by default or prepayment, the proceeds from the disposition of CRI Liquidating's
mortgage investments would, for the majority of such mortgages, be expected to
exceed the tax basis of such mortgages.  However, on an amortized cost basis,
the proceeds from a default on, or prepayment of CRI Liquidating's Near Par or
Premium Mortgage Investments would be expected to approximate the amortized
cost.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

     While it is not expected that CRIIMI MAE will sell any of its mortgage
investments, CRI Liquidating's business plan calls for an orderly liquidation of
its portfolio by 1997.  Approximately 38%, 31% and 31%, respectively, of CRI
Liquidating's December 31, 1994 portfolio balance is expected to be liquidated
in 1995, 1996 and 1997.  Therefore, to the extent mortgage investments are not
otherwise disposed of, CRI Liquidating intends to sell a substantial portion of
its portfolio as is necessary to effect its liquidation plan.  On January 20,
1995, 21 mortgages were disposed of, with an aggregate amortized cost of
approximately $48.1 million, representing approximately 33% of the December 31,
1994 tax basis portfolio balance.

     The following table sets forth certain information concerning dispositions
of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages by CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating
for the past three years:

(1)  CRIIMI MAE or CRI Liquidating may elect to receive insurance benefits in
     the form of cash when a Government Insured Multifamily Mortgage defaults.
     In that event, 90% of the face value of the mortgage generally is received
     within approximately 90 days of assignment of the mortgage to HUD and 9% of
     the face value of the mortgage is received upon final processing by HUD
     which may not occur in the same year as assignment. If CRIIMI MAE or CRI
     Liquidating elects to receive insurance benefits in the form of HUD
     debentures, 99% of the face value of the mortgage is received upon final
     processing by HUD.  Gains from dispositions are recognized upon receipt of
     funds or HUD debentures and losses generally are recognized at the time of
     assignment.
(2)  Five of the 14 assignments were sales of Government Insured Multifamily
     Mortgages then in default and resulted in the CRIIMI Funds, CRI Liquidating
     or CRIIMI MAE receiving near or above face value.
(3)  In connection with the CRIIMI Merger, CRI Liquidating recorded its
     investment in mortgages at the lower of cost or fair value, which resulted
     in an overall net write down for tax purposes.  For financial statement
     purposes, carryover basis of accounting was used.  Therefore, since the
     CRIIMI Merger, the net gain for tax purposes was greater than the net gain
     recognized for financial statement purposes.  As a REIT, dividends to
     shareholders are based on tax basis income.

INVESTMENT IN SUBORDINATED SECURITIES

     In addition to investing in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages,
CRIIMI MAE's board of directors has authorized CRIIMI MAE to invest up to 20% of
CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated assets in other mortgage investments which are
not federally insured or guaranteed.  Since adoption of this policy, CRIIMI MAE
and its Adviser have been reviewing opportunities for investment in other real
estate securities which complement CRIIMI MAE's existing holdings.  In the
current investment climate, CRIIMI MAE's Adviser believes that well-researched
investments in high yielding subordinated securities represent attractive
investment opportunities.  Such new investments are expected to enhance CRIIMI

MAE's projected dividend by diversifying its asset base with the addition of
higher-yielding/higher risk assets.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had purchased three tranches of
securities issued by Mortgage Capital Funding, Inc. Series 1994-MC1 (MC-1) and
two tranches of securities issued by Mortgage Capital Funding, Inc. Series 1993-
C1 (C-1).  Both MC-1 and C-1 issued multiple layers of securities and have
elected to be treated as real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).

(1)  The accounting treatment required under generally accepted accounting
     principles requires that the income on these investments be recorded on a
     level yield basis given the anticipated yield to maturity on these
     investments.  This currently results in income which is lower for financial
     statement purposes than for tax purposes.  CRIIMI MAE anticipates the tax
     basis return on these investments will approximate 30% during 1995.  This
     return was determined based on projected cash basis interest income,
     assuming no defaults or unrecoverable losses, net of interest expense
     attributable to the financing of the BB rated and B rated tranches, as
     discussed below, and adjusted for amortization of original issue discount
     related to these securities.
</TABLE>

     At closing, MC-1 consisted of securities having a face value of
approximately $172 million.  The collateral for the securities consisted of
uninsured mortgages with an unpaid principal balance (UPB) of approximately $172
million - 30 multifamily loans representing 72% of the UPB of the pool and 14
commercial loans representing 28% of the UPB of the pool.  The composition of
the pool as of December 31, 1994 was substantially the same.

     At closing, C-1 consisted of securities having a face value of
approximately $151 million.  The collateral for the securities consisted of
uninsured mortgages with a UPB of approximately $151 million - 29 multifamily
loans representing 47% of the UPB of the pool and 32 commercial loans
representing 53% of the UPB of the pool.  The composition of the pool as of
December 31, 1994 was approximately 39% multifamily and 62% commercial due to
prepayments of mortgages in the pool.

     The REMICs allocate the cash flow from the underlying mortgages to the
securitized tranches, with the investment grade or higher rated tranches having
a priority right to the cash flow until their investment returns are met.  Then,
any remaining cash flow is allocated among the other tranches in order of their
relative seniority.  To the extent there are defaults and unrecoverable losses
on the underlying mortgages, resulting in reduced cash flows, the unrated
tranche will bear this loss first.  To the extent there are losses in excess of
the unrated tranche's stated right to principal and interest, then the most
subordinated rated tranches will begin absorbing losses.

     During the third and fourth quarters of 1994, CRIIMI MAE entered into a
series of repurchase agreements which provided CRIIMI MAE financing to purchase
the four rated tranches of the subordinated securities.  Between 70% and 80% of
the purchase price was financed for aggregate borrowings of approximately $24.9
million.  Under the agreements, the interest rate is based upon the then current
one-month or six-month LIBOR, as applicable, plus 1.0% to 1.25% depending on the
specific repurchase agreement.  The table under "Other Repurchase Agreements"
describes more fully the terms of the financing.

     In making these investments, CRIIMI MAE's Adviser and its affiliates
applied their knowledge of multifamily and commercial mortgages to perform due
diligence on the mortgage investments collateralizing the securities.  This
analysis included reviewing the operating records of the underlying real estate
assets, reviewing appraisals, environmental studies, market studies,
architectural and engineering reviews, and reviewing, and where deemed
necessary, independently developing projected operating budgets. In addition,
site visits were conducted at substantially all of the properties, in an effort
to confirm market and architectural and engineering reviews.

     CRIIMI MAE will generally make investments of this type when satisfactory
arrangements exist whereby CRIIMI MAE can closely monitor the collateral of the
pool.  In this case, CRICO, an affiliate of the Adviser, will service the
majority of the mortgage investments comprising the pools, thereby enabling
CRICO to continuously monitor the performance of the pool, while actively
pursuing resolution of any delinquencies that may develop and maintaining
current records on the properties' operations and tax and insurance liabilities.
Additionally, CRICO is the special servicer for both pools which places it
directly in the position of asset manager in the event that a default occurs.
As special servicer, CRICO will use its efforts to create a financial solution
designed to maximize the benefit to all of the investors in the portfolio,
including CRIIMI MAE.

     The anticipated returns on these investments are based upon a number of
assumptions that are currently subject to several business and economic
uncertainties and contingencies, including, without limitation, the lack of a
secondary market for these securities, prevailing interest rates, the general
condition of the real estate market, competition for tenants, and changes in
market

rental rates.  As these uncertainties and contingencies are generally beyond
CRIIMI MAE's control, no assurance can be given that the anticipated tax basis
return for the next year or the anticipated yield to maturity will be achieved.

     Although investments in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and
government insured or guaranteed multifamily construction loans will continue to
comprise the majority of CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated asset base, CRIIMI MAE
expects that investments similar to the REMIC tranches discussed above will
represent a major component of CRIIMI MAE's new business activity during 1995.
As of December 31, 1994, these investments represent approximately 4% of CRIIMI
MAE's total consolidated assets.  Investments of this type are not anticipated
to exceed 10% of CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated asset base through 1995.

INVESTMENT IN INSURED MORTGAGE FUNDS AND ADVISORY PARTNERSHIP

     On September 6, 1991, CRIIMI MAE, through its wholly owned subsidiary
CRIIMI, Inc., acquired from Integrated Resources, Inc. (Integrated) all of the
general partnership interests in four publicly held limited partnerships known
as the American Insured Mortgage Investors Funds (the AIM Funds).  The AIM Funds
own mortgage investments which are substantially similar to those owned by
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating.  CRIIMI, Inc. receives the general partner's
share of income, loss and distributions (which ranges among the AIM Funds from
2.9% to 4.9%) from each of the AIM Funds.  In addition, CRIIMI MAE owns
indirectly a limited partnership interest in the adviser to the AIM Funds in
respect of which CRIIMI MAE receives a guaranteed return each year.

LIQUIDITY

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating closely monitor their cash flow and
liquidity positions, including compliance with debt covenants, in an effort to
ensure that sufficient cash is available for operations and debt service
requirements and to continue to qualify as REITs.  CRIIMI MAE's cash receipts,
which have been derived from scheduled payments of outstanding principal of and
interest on, and proceeds from dispositions of, mortgage investments plus cash
receipts from interest on temporary investments, borrowings, cash received from
the AIM Funds and advisory partnership, were sufficient for the years 1992, 1993
and 1994 to meet operating, investing and financing cash requirements. It is
anticipated that cash receipts will be sufficient to meet operating, investing
and financing cash requirements in future years.  Cash flow was also sufficient
to provide for the payment of dividends to shareholders and to meet the IRS
requirements to continue to qualify as a REIT. As of December 31, 1994, there
were no significant commitments for capital expenditures; however, as of such
date, CRIIMI MAE had committed to fund additional Government Insured
Construction Mortgages totaling approximately $9.0 million.  As discussed under
"Corporate Borrowings", CRIIMI MAE, in January 1995, paid down $126 million on
the borrowings under the Master Repurchase Agreements secured by FHA-Insured
Loans and $50 million on the Revolving Credit Facility.  The borrowings were
replaced with substantially

similar financing provided by the German American Capital Corporation ("GACC").

     Dividends -- During 1994, CRIIMI MAE increased its quarterly dividend to
$0.29 per share, or $1.16 per share for the year.  During the four consecutive
quarters of 1993, CRIIMI MAE paid dividends of $0.28 per share.  CRIIMI MAE's
objective is to pay a stable quarterly dividend and to increase the tax basis
income over time, and thereby increase the quarterly dividend.  However, the
rise in short-term interest rates during the past year has significantly
increased CRIIMI MAE's interest expense which results in reduced net income and,
ultimately, dividend distributions.  Management is currently developing
strategies which are expected to reduce the impact of higher interest expense
and, over time, improve the return to CRIIMI MAE's shareholders.  In a letter to
stockholders dated October 25, 1994, CRIIMI MAE's management discussed CRIIMI
MAE's projected dividend for 1995. The letter explained that the projections
were based on assumptions which may differ significantly from actual events.
Since interest rates have increased significantly since October 1994, the
assumptions underlying the October 1994 projections are no longer valid and thus
reliance should not be placed on these projections.  CRIIMI MAE's management is
in the process of finalizing its updated projections and expects to provide
stockholders with an estimated 1995 dividend range in March of 1995.

     Although the mortgage investments held by CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating
yield a fixed monthly mortgage payment once purchased, the cash dividends paid
by CRIIMI MAE and by CRI Liquidating will vary during each period due to several
factors.  The factors which impact CRIIMI MAE's dividend include (i) the
distributions which CRIIMI MAE receives on its CRI Liquidating shares, (ii) the
level of income earned on CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments depending on
prepayments, defaults, etc. (iii) the level of income earned on investments in
subordinated securities which vary depending on prepayments, defaults, etc. (iv)
the fluctuating yields on short-term debt and the rate at which CRIIMI MAE's
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based debt is priced, (v) the fluctuating
yields in the short-term money market where the monthly mortgage payments
received are temporarily invested prior to the payment of quarterly dividends,
(vi) the yield at which principal from scheduled monthly mortgage payments,
mortgage dispositions and distributions from the AIM Funds and from CRI
Liquidating can be reinvested, (vii) variations in the cash flow received from
the AIM Funds, and (viii) changes in operating expenses.

     The factors which impact CRI Liquidating's dividend include (i) gains or
losses on dispositions of CRI Liquidating's mortgage investments, (ii) the
reduction in the monthly mortgage payments due to mortgage dispositions, (iii)
changes in interest rates which impact the gain or loss from dispositions, (iv)
the fluctuating yields in the short-term money market where the monthly mortgage
payments received are temporarily invested prior to the payment of quarterly
dividends and (v) changes in operating expenses.  Additionally, mortgage
dispositions may increase the return to the

shareholders for a period, although neither the timing nor the amount can be
predicted.

FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY

     Fluctuations in interest rates impact the value of CRIIMI MAE's mortgage
investments as well as the potential returns to shareholders through increased
cost of funds.  Increases in long-term rates could decrease the value of
mortgage investments and, in certain circumstances, require CRIIMI MAE to pledge
additional collateral in connection with its borrowing facilities.  This would
reduce CRIIMI MAE's borrowing capacity and, in certain circumstances, could
force CRIIMI MAE to liquidate a portion of its assets at a loss in order to
comply with certain covenants under its borrowing facilities.  As of December
31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had pledged mortgage investments with an aggregate fair
value of approximately $634.5 million as collateral for aggregate borrowings of
approximately $572 million under the Master Repurchase Agreements and the
Revolving Credit Facility.  CRIIMI MAE also had pledged 13,124,000 shares of CRI
Liquidating stock with a fair value of approximately $59 million as collateral
for borrowings of approximately $30.4 million under the Bank Term Loan and
subordinated securities with an aggregate fair value of $33.8 million as
collateral for $24.9  million in borrowings under Other Repurchase Agreements.
(See further discussion under "Corporate Borrowings.")

     The Adviser is actively monitoring the levels of unencumbered collateral
and is taking steps to negotiate more favorable collateral requirements with
lenders.  Subsequent to year end, CRIIMI MAE executed a master repurchase
agreement with GACC for maximum borrowings of $300 million secured by FHA-
Insured Loans and GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities valued at approximately 105%
of the amounts borrowed.  This compares to requirements under the Master
Repurchase Agreements with Nomura Securities International, Inc. and Nomura
Asset Capital Corporation (collectively, Nomura) of 110% of the value on
borrowings secured by FHA-Insured loans and 105% or 107% on borrowings secured
by GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities depending on whether the $350 million
facility or the $150 million facility was used and collateral requirements of
110% of the value on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

     The collateral requirements on the Bank Term Loan are also anticipated to
be reduced when the refinancing is completed after the March 31, 1995 required
principal payment is made from the return of capital on the shares of CRI
Liquidating stock pledged as collateral under the Bank Term Loan.  (For further
information, see discussion under "Bank Term Loan.")  The value of the required
collateral is anticipated to be reduced from 200% of the outstanding borrowings
to 175% of the outstanding borrowings.  The Adviser has also provided for more
flexibility through the availability of a $10 million working capital line of
credit, secured by shares of CRI Liquidating stock, expected to be closed in
February 1995.  The Adviser is also exploring financing alternatives other than
secured lending of the type currently in place.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

     A reduction in long-term interest rates could have the impact of increasing
the value of CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments, lowering collateral
requirements, and could also increase the level of prepayments on CRIIMI MAE's
mortgage investments.  CRIIMI MAE's yield on mortgage investments will be
reduced to the extent CRIIMI MAE reinvests the proceeds from such prepayments in
new mortgage investments with effective rates which are below the rates of the
prepaid mortgages.  Offsetting this risk is the opportunity to invest the
proceeds from a prepayment into other higher yielding mortgage investments such
as the subordinated securities.

     As previously discussed, the Adviser is actively pursuing a new investment
program in subordinated securities which it believes is, overall, less interest
rate sensitive than existing insured mortgage investments.  The Adviser also
believes that if the proposed merger of CRIIMI MAE with CRI's Mortgage
Businesses is approved (see discussion under "Proposal to Become Self-Managed
and Self-Administered"), CRIIMI MAE's overall return will be less interest rate
sensitive.

     CRIIMI MAE has sought to enhance the return to its shareholders through the
use of leverage.  Nevertheless, CRIIMI MAE's use of leverage carries with it the
risk that the cost of borrowings could increase without a corresponding increase
in the return on its mortgage investments, which could result in reduced net
income and thereby reduce the return to shareholders.  To partially limit the
adverse effects of rising interest rates, CRIIMI MAE has entered into a series
of interest rate hedging agreements.  (See "Interest Rate Hedge Agreements" for
a further discussion.)  The Adviser continuously monitors CRIIMI MAE's
outstanding borrowings and hedging techniques in an effort to ensure that CRIIMI
MAE is making optimal use of its borrowing ability based on market conditions
and opportunities.

     In 1991, the Adviser adopted a policy with respect to borrowings above and
beyond the original $140 million notes and $140 million Commercial Paper
Facility (Incremental Borrowings) which would result in a reduction in the
amount of fees payable by CRIIMI MAE if Net Positive Spreads (the difference
between the yield on mortgage investments purchased after those mortgages
purchased with the original $140 million notes and $140 million Commercial Paper
Facility and the cost of funds for all Incremental Borrowings including
associated operating costs on a tax basis) are not maintained:  the total annual
fee and master servicing fee of 0.40% of invested assets payable to the Adviser
with respect to mortgage investments purchased after those mortgages acquired
with the proceeds of the original $140 million notes and $140 million Commercial
Paper Facility will be reduced incrementally if CRIIMI MAE's Net Positive Spread
on such debt falls below 0.40%.  During 1994, the Net Positive Spread on the
Incremental Borrowings was in excess of 0.40%.  Additionally, as required by
this policy, the mortgage selection fee will be eliminated upon reinvestment of
proceeds of mortgage dispositions where the mortgage investment was purchased
with borrowed funds and disposed of in less than five years without providing a
cumulative yield on the original mortgage

investment at disposition of at least 100 basis points higher than the original
yield at the date of purchase.

CORPORATE BORROWINGS

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     On April 30, 1993, CRIIMI MAE entered into master repurchase agreements,
(collectively, with the additional repurchase agreements described below, the
Master Repurchase Agreements) with Nomura which provided CRIIMI MAE with $350.0
million of available financing for a three-year term, expiring April 30, 1996.
Interest on such borrowings is based on the three-month LIBOR plus .75% or .50%
depending on whether FHA-Insured Loans or GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities,
respectively, are pledged as collateral.  The rate on the facility as of
December 31, 1994, including  the applicable spreads, was 6.31% on the
borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans and 6.06% on the borrowings secured by
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The rates in effect on December 31, 1994 were
set on October 24, 1994 and reset on January 23, 1995 for three months at
6.875%, including the spread, for the borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities.  As discussed below, the borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans
were paid off on January 23, 1995 with proceeds from a new facility with GACC.
The value of the FHA-Insured Loans and the GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities
pledged as collateral must equal at least 110% and 105%, respectively, of the
amounts borrowed.  No more than 60% of the collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured
Loans and no less than 40% may be GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.

     On November 30, 1993, CRIIMI MAE entered into additional repurchase
agreements with Nomura pursuant to which Nomura agreed to provide CRIIMI MAE
with an additional $150.0 million of available financing for a three-year term,
expiring October 27, 1996.  Interest on such borrowings for the first twelve
months after the initial funding (April 1994 through April 1995) is based on the
three-month LIBOR plus .90% or .70% depending on whether FHA-Insured Loans or
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities, respectively, are pledged as collateral.
Interest on the borrowings from May 1995 to October 1995 and from November 1995
through the maturity of the facility will be based on three-month LIBOR plus
.50% and .30%, respectively, for borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage Backed
Securities.  (As discussed below, the borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans
were paid off on January 23, 1995 with proceeds from a new facility with GACC).
The rate on the facility as of December 31, 1994, including the applicable
spreads was 6.46% on the borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans and 6.26% on
borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The rates in effect on
December 31, 1994 were set on October 24, 1994 and reset on January 23, 1995
for three months at 7.075%, including the spread, for the borrowings secured by
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The value of the FHA-Insured Loans and the
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities pledged as collateral must equal at least 110%

and 107%, respectively, of the amounts borrowed.  No more than 40% of the
collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured Loans and no less than 60% may be GNMA
Mortgage-Backed Securities.  CRIIMI MAE was required to pay commitment fees of
three basis points per month on the unutilized amount through June 1994 and
twelve basis points on any remaining unused amounts as of July 1, 1994.  For the
year  ended December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE incurred approximately $415,000 in
commitment fees related to the $150.0 million facility.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had borrowed approximately $457.0
million of the funds available under the Master Repurchase Agreements primarily
to acquire Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and to repay a portion of
borrowings under the Commercial Paper Facility, as discussed below.  As of
December 31, 1994, mortgage investments directly owned by CRIIMI MAE, which
approximate $499.1 million at fair value, were used as collateral pursuant to
certain terms of the Master Repurchase Agreements.

     On January 23, 1995, approximately $126 million of borrowings
collateralized with FHA-Insured Loans were paid off, terminating the related FHA
portion of the Master Repurchase Agreements.  Replacement financing was obtained
from GACC through a master repurchase agreement at substantially similar terms,
except as related to collateral requirements as discussed under "Financial
Flexibility".

COMMERCIAL PAPER FACILITY/REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

     In the first quarter of 1994, borrowings under the Commercial Paper
Facility, which matured on February 28, 1994, were replaced with revolving
credit loans.  During the period January 1, 1994 through February 28, 1994, the
maximum amount outstanding on these borrowings was approximately $95.3 million
and the weighted average amount outstanding was approximately $86.4 million.
The weighted average interest rate for the period January 1, 1994 through
February 28, 1994 on these borrowings was 5.3%, including all hedging and
borrowing costs.

     In February 1993, CRIIMI MAE entered into an agreement to replace a $190.0
million letter of credit which provided the credit enhancement for the
Commercial Paper Facility and related revolving credit facility, with two
letters of credit in the amount of $35.0 million and $155.0 million provided by
National Australia Bank, Limited and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC),
respectively.  In April 1993, the letter of credit provided by CIBC was reduced
to $105.0 million.  In January 1994, the special purpose corporation replaced
borrowings under the Commercial Paper Facility with revolving credit loans.
These revolving credit loans were originally scheduled to mature on January 28,
1994; however, the maturity date was extended until February 28, 1994.

     As of February 28, 1994, these borrowings were replaced with a non-
amortizing revolving credit facility, maturing August 28, 1996 (the Revolving
Credit Facility) provided by certain lenders which had participated in the
Commercial Paper Facility.  Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders
agreed to loan CRIIMI MAE an

aggregate principal amount of $110 million.  Effective August 5, 1994, an
additional $25 million was made available for borrowing by CRIIMI MAE under this
facility.  CRIIMI MAE was required to pay commitment fees of twenty five basis
points per annum on the $25 million increase to the facility.  As of December
31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE incurred approximately $33,000 of commitment fees related
to the $25 million increase in the facility.

     The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is
based on CRIIMI MAE's choice of (i) the one, two, three or six-month LIBOR plus
an interest rate margin of .50%, .5625%, or .625% depending on the percentage of
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities pledged as collateral or (ii) a base rate equal
to the higher of either the lender's prime rate or .50% per annum above the
Federal Funds rate, plus an interest rate margin of 0%, .0625%, or .125%
depending on the percentage of GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities held as
collateral.  The rate on substantially all of this facility as of December 31,
1994 was 5.69%, which is based on 6 month LIBOR and a spread of .50%.  This rate
was set on August 5, 1994 and reset on February 2, 1995 at 6.75%, which is based
on one month LIBOR and a spread of .625%.

     The value of the collateral pledged must equal at least 110% of the amounts
borrowed.  No more than 60% of the collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured Loans
and no less than 40% may be GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  As of December 31,
1994, mortgage investments directly owned by CRIIMI MAE, which approximated
$135.3 million at fair value, were used as collateral pursuant to the terms of
the Revolving Credit Facility.

     The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires a minimum Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio, as defined in the amended agreement, of 1.35 to 1.0 for any
fiscal quarter through September 30, 1995 and a minimum of 1.4 to 1.0 for any
fiscal quarter after September 30, 1995.  For the quarter ended December 31,
1994, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 1.56:1.0.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had used $115 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility primarily to acquire Government Insured Multifamily
Mortgages, other mortgage investments and to repay borrowings under the
aforementioned Commercial Paper Facility.  On January 27, 1995, CRIIMI MAE made
a $50 million payment on the Revolving Credit Facility to effect a permanent,
required reduction in the amount available under the facility.  Replacement
financing in the amount of $50 million was obtained from GACC at terms
substantially similar to those on the Master Repurchase Agreements.

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH GACC

     On January 23, 1995, CRIIMI MAE entered into a master repurchase agreement
with GACC which provided CRIIMI MAE with $300 million of available financing
through April 1, 1996.  Interest on such borrowings is based on one month LIBOR
plus .75% or .50% depending on whether FHA-Insured Loans or GNMA Mortgage-Backed

Securities, respectively, are pledged as collateral.  Generally, the value of
the FHA-Insured Loans or GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities pledged as collateral
must equal at least 105% of the amounts outstanding and no more than 60% of the
collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured Loans and no less than 40% may be GNMA
Mortgage-Backed Securities.


     As previously discussed, approximately $176 million was borrowed from this
facility in January 1995 to paydown the portion of the borrowings secured by
FHA-Insured Loans under the Master Repurchase Agreements and to effect a $50
million required, permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility.  The
weighted average rate on these borrowings, including applicable spreads, was
6.70%.

BANK TERM LOAN

     On October 23, 1991, CRIIMI MAE entered into a credit agreement with two
banks for a reducing term loan facility (the Bank Term Loan) in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $85.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions.  In
December 1992, the credit agreement was amended to increase the Bank Term Loan
by $15.0 million.  The Bank Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of
approximately $52.0 million and approximately $30.4 million as of December 31,
1993 and 1994, respectively.  As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Bank Term
Loan was secured by the value of 13,874,000 and 13,124,000 CRI Liquidating
shares owned by CRIIMI MAE, respectively, based on a current requirement that
collateral valued at 200% of the outstanding balance secure the loan.  The Bank
Term Loan requires a quarterly principal payment based on the greater of (i) the
return of capital portion of the dividend received by CRIIMI MAE on its CRI
Liquidating shares securing the Bank Term Loan or (ii) an amount to bring the
Bank Term Loan to its scheduled outstanding balance at the end of such quarter.
The current minimum amount of annual principal payments is approximately $15.8
million, with any remaining amounts of the original $85.0 million of principal
due in April 1996 and any remaining amounts of the $15.0 million of increased
principal due in December 1996.

     The Bank Term Loan currently provides for an interest rate of 1.10% over
three-month LIBOR plus an agent fee of 0.05% per year.  As of December 31, 1994,
the interest rate, including the applicable spreads was 7.666%.  The rate will
reset on March 31, 1995.

     CRIIMI MAE is in the process of refinancing the facility with one lender
with more favorable terms including an interest rate based on .75% over CRIIMI
MAE's choice of one, two or three month LIBOR and collateral requirements of
175% of the loan amount.  This refinancing is anticipated to occur
simultaneously with the paydown of approximately $17.4 million which is expected
to be made in March 1995 from the return of capital from CRI Liquidating.

OTHER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     CRIIMI MAE financed between 70% and 80% of the purchase price of the BB
rated and B rated tranches of subordinated securities which were purchased
during the third and fourth quarters of 1994.  The following table summarizes
the financing related to these investments.

</TABLE>

As a requirement under certain of CRIIMI MAE's other debt facilities, financings
related to repurchase agreements associated with the purchase of subordinated
securities are limited to no more than $50 million without the approval of the
lenders under the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Revolving Credit Agreement
and the GACC master repurchase agreement.

WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT

     CRIIMI MAE is in the process of finalizing a $10 million working capital
line of credit with Riggs National Bank.  This line of credit will be secured by
shares of CRI Liquidating valued at approximately 175% of any outstanding
borrowings.  At CRIIMI MAE's option, the interest rate will be set on
outstanding borrowings at one, two or three month LIBOR plus .60%, the daily
federal funds rate plus .80% or prime minus 1.0%.

     Certain of the financial covenants under the line of credit will be
consistent with those of the other debt facilities discussed above.

OTHER DEBT RELATED INFORMATION

     During December 1994, CRIIMI MAE negotiated with its lenders to amend debt
agreements to provide for more flexibility in the restrictive covenants.  Under
all of CRIIMI MAE's existing debt facilities, as amended, except the Other
Repurchase Agreements, CRIIMI MAE's debt to equity ratio, as defined, may not
exceed 3.0:1.0.  As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE's debt-to-equity ratio was
2.51:1.0.  The weighted average cost of CRIIMI MAI's borrowings, including
amortization of deferred financing fees of $5.5 million, for the year ended
December 31, 1994, was approximately 7.01%.

  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

     Certain of the debt agreements require that a minimum level of unencumbered
assets be maintained, the most restrictive of which requires 2% of total
indebtedness be maintained by CRIIMI MAE.  As of January 24, 1995, CRIIMI MAE
had approximately $38 million, at management's estimated fair value, of
unencumbered FHA/GNMA Mortgage Investments.  Additionally, CRIIMI MAE has other
unencumbered assets (which in some cases are subject to certain lender
eligibility requirements) including, but not limited to, cash, working capital
lines of credit and unencumbered CRI Liquidating stock.

INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS

     To partially limit the adverse effects of rising interest rates, CRIIMI MAE
has entered into a series of interest rate hedging agreements with an aggregate
notional amount of approximately $709 million at December 31, 1994, as follows:

<FN>
(a)  Approximately $4.5 million and $3.6 million of costs were incurred during
     1993 and 1994, respectively, in connection with the establishment of
     interest rate hedges.  These costs are being amortized using the effective
     interest method over the term of the interest rate hedge agreements for
     financial statement purposes and in accordance with the regulations under
     Internal Revenue Code Section 446 with respect to notional principal
     contracts for tax purposes.
(b)  On May 24, 1993, CRIIMI MAE and the counterparty to the collar, CIBC,
     terminated the floor on this former collar.  In consideration of such
     termination, CRIIMI MAE paid CIBC approximately $2.3 million.  This amount
     was deferred on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the
     underlying debt being hedged is still outstanding.  This amount will be
     amortized for the period from May 24, 1993 through May 26, 1996.  CRIIMI
     MAE amortized approximately $.5 million and $.8 million of this deferred
     amount in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years
     ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.  Additionally, certain
     costs incurred during 1991 in connection with an extinguishment of debt
     which was financed with proceeds from a replacement facility, were deferred
     and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life
     of the replacement facility.  CRIIMI MAE amortized approximately $2.5
     million and $1.6 million of such costs, during 1993 and 1994, respectively.
     As of December 31, 1994, the unamortized balance of such costs was
     approximately $630,000.
(c)  The hedges are based either on the 30-day Commercial Paper Composite Index
     (CP), three-month LIBOR, or one-month LIBOR.
(d)  The notional amount of these hedges amortize based on the expected paydown
     schedule of the Bank Term Loan.  The average notional amount of these
     hedges is expected to be $25,540,441, $3,383,118, $18,959,559 and
     $2,710,633, respectively, during 1995.
(e)  Total payments to the counterparty during 1993 and 1994 amounted to $8.2
     million and $5.0 million, respectively, and were included in interest
     expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

INTEREST RATE COLLARS

     Interest rate collars are hedging instruments that provide protection
within a range of interest rates, based on a readily determinable interest rate
index.  When the interest rate index exceeds the cap then the counterparty pays
the difference between the index and the cap to CRIIMI MAE.  Alternatively, if
the interest rate index is below the floor then CRIIMI MAE pays the difference
to the counterparty.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had in place interest rate collars
based on the Federal Reserve 30 day Commercial Paper Composite Rate ("CP Index")
with an aggregate notional amount of $115 million, a weighted average floor of
8.55% and a weighted average cap of 10.37%.  During 1993 and 1994, the CP Index
was below the floor resulting in CRIIMI MAE making payments to the counterparty.
These interest rate collars expire between February 1995 and July 1995.  During
October 1994, the Adviser purchased a three year cap in the notional amount of
$50 million to replace certain of the expiring collars.

INTEREST RATE CAPS

     Interest rate caps provide protection to CRIIMI MAE to the extent interest
rates, based on a readily determinable interest rate index, increase above the
stated interest rate cap.  As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had in place
interest rate caps aggregating $594.5 million based on the CP Index and LIBOR.
The caps that are based on the CP Index have an aggregate notional amount of $50
million at December 31, 1994, with a weighted average cap of 8.70%.  The cap
that is based on the one month LIBOR has a notional amount of $35 million and a
cap rate of 6.125%.  Those based on the three month LIBOR, have an aggregate
notional amount of $510 million at December 31, 1994, with a weighted average
cap rate of 6.51%.  At December 31, 1994 the three month LIBOR of 6.5% was at or
exceeded the cap rate on caps with a notional amount of $440 million.  These
caps will reset  during the first quarter of 1995 and if rates stay at that
level or increase, CRIIMI MAE will receive payments based on the difference
between three month LIBOR and the cap.  During 1994, the interest rate indices
exceeded the interest rate cap on one cap which reset in December, which had the
result of reducing CRIIMI MAE's overall interest expense by approximately
$1,300.

     CRIIMI MAE is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties to the interest rate hedge agreements should interest rates
exceed the caps.  However, the Adviser does not anticipate nonperformance by any
of the counterparties, each of which has long-term debt ratings of A or above by
Standard and Poor's and A3 or above by Moody's.

     Although CRIIMI MAE expects the overall average life of its mortgage
investments to exceed ten years, CRIIMI MAE's hedging agreements range in
initial maturity from 3 to 5 years, principally because of the high cost of
hedging instruments with maturities greater than 5 years.  As of December 31,
1994, the average remaining term of these hedging agreements is approximately
2.2 years.  Because CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments have fixed interest rates,
upon expiration of CRIIMI MAE's collar and cap agreements, CRIIMI MAE will have
interest rate risk to the extent interest rates increase on its variable rate
borrowings unless the hedges are replaced.  The Adviser continues to review its
debt and asset/liability hedging techniques in order to minimize the impact of
interest rate risk.

CASH FLOW--1994 VERSUS 1993

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased for 1994 as compared to
1993 principally due to an increase in mortgage investment income, partially
offset by an increase in interest expense due primarily to mortgage acquisition
activity in 1994 funded by proceeds from financings.  Also contributing to the
increase in net cash provided by operating activities was an increase in
interest payable as a result of the increase in debt incurred under financing
facilities during 1994.  Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided
by operating activities for 1994 was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses arising from the payment of costs incurred in connection with the
Equity Offering of common stock, and a decrease in short-term investment income,
as described below.

     Net cash used in investing activities decreased for 1994 as compared to
1993.  This decrease was principally due to the acquisition of Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages and subordinated securities and advances on
Government Insured Construction Mortgages of approximately $274.6 million in
1994 as compared to $312.7 million in 1993. Also contributing to the decrease in
net cash used in investing activities was the receipt of net proceeds from the
sale of shares of subsidiary in 1993 of approximately $26.4 million.

     Net cash provided by financing activities decreased for 1994 compared to
1993.  This decrease was primarily due to the paydown of obligations incurred
under financing facilities of approximately $162.4 million during 1994 as
compared to $230.9 million during 1993.  Also contributing to the decrease was a
reduction in proceeds from obligations incurred under financial facilities from
$462.3 million in 1993 to $310.6 million in 1994 and an increase in dividends
paid of $11.8 million from $53.7 million in 1993 to $65.5 million in 1994.
These decreases were partially offset by proceeds from share issuances of
approximately $56.8 million in 1994.

CASH FLOW--1993 VERSUS 1992

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased for 1993 as compared to
1992 principally due to an increase in mortgage investment income partially
offset by an increase in interest expense due primarily to mortgage acquisition
activity in 1993 funded by proceeds from financings.  Also contributing to the
increase in cash provided by operating activities was an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses attributable to the accrued costs incurred by
CRIIMI MAE with respect to its Equity Offering of common stock, as described
below in "Other Events." Partially offsetting the increase in net cash provided
by operating activities for 1993 was the payment of approximately $4.9 million
to terminate an interest rate swap agreement and an increase in interest expense
due primarily to mortgage acquisition activity in 1993 funded by proceeds from
financings.

     Net cash used in investing activities increased for 1993 as compared to
1992.  This increase was principally due to the

acquisition of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and advances on
Government Insured Construction Mortgages of approximately $312.7 million in
1993 as compared to $31.8 million in 1992. Also contributing to the increase in
cash used in investing activities was the acquisition of other short-term
investments of approximately $175.3 million in 1993 as compared to approximately
$66.8 million in 1992.  In addition, proceeds of approximately $6.1 million were
received during 1993 related to the sale of HUD debentures, as compared to the
receipt of proceeds of approximately $2.3 million during the same period in 1992
related to the redemption of HUD debentures.  Partially offsetting the increase
in net cash used in investing activities was the receipt of approximately $167.1
million from the disposition of other short-term investments and proceeds from
mortgage dispositions of approximately $93.4 million in 1993 as compared to
approximately $65.5 million and $50.4 million, respectively, in 1992.

     Net cash provided by financing activities increased for 1993 compared to
1992.  This increase was primarily due to the receipt of net proceeds of
approximately $462.3 million from obligations incurred under financing
facilities, partially offset by payments on obligations incurred under financing
facilities.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1994 VERSUS 1993

     CRIIMI MAE earned approximately $29.6 million in tax basis income for the
year ended December 31, 1994, a 28.6% increase from approximately $23.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 1993.  On a per share basis, tax basis income
for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased to approximately $1.17 per
weighted average share from approximately $1.14 per weighted average share for
the year ended December 31, 1993.

     Net income for financial statement purposes was approximately $26.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 1994, a 65.1% increase from approximately $15.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  On a per share basis, financial
statement net income for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased to
approximately $1.07 per share from approximately $.78 per share for the year
ended December 31, 1993.

     Total income increased approximately $15.0 million or 26.6% to
approximately $71.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $56.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This increase
was primarily due to growth in mortgage investment income which CRIIMI MAE
experienced during 1993 and 1994, as described below.

     Mortgage investment income increased approximately $16.8 million or 33.4%
to approximately $67.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $50.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This increase
was principally due to an increase in mortgage investments, net of dispositions,
resulting from acquisitions of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

advances on Government Insured Construction Mortgages during 1993 and 1994,
which were principally funded by proceeds from the Master Repurchase Agreements
and the Equity Offering described above.

     Income from investment in subordinated securities increased to
approximately $976,000 in 1994 as a result of the acquisition of these
securities during the year.

     Other investment income decreased approximately $2.5 million or 69.5% to
approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This decrease
was primarily attributable to other investment income earned in 1993 on
approximately $175 million in other short-term investments acquired by CRIIMI
MAE and CRI Liquidating during the year ended December 31, 1993, all of which
were disposed of by December 31, 1993.

     Total expenses increased approximately $5.0 million or 11.9% to
approximately $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $41.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This increase
is principally due to increases in interest expense and annual and incentive
fees to related party, as described below.  Partially offsetting this increase
was an adjustment to the provision for settlement of litigation and a decrease
in general and administrative expenses, as discussed below.

     Interest expense increased approximately $11.2 million or 40.1% to
approximately $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $28.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This increase
was principally a result of additional amounts borrowed during 1993 and 1994
under CRIIMI MAE's financing facilities and an increase in short term interest
rates.  This increase was partially offset by interest savings due to the
termination of the interest rate swap and the buyout of the floor on a $25
million notional amount collar during 1993.

     Other operating expenses decreased approximately $6.3 million or 45.6% to
approximately $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This variance
was primarily attributable to the expense related to the termination of an
interest rate swap in 1993. Also contributing to the decrease were decreases in
general and administrative expenses and an adjustment to the provision for
settlement of litigation, as discussed below.  Partially offsetting these
changes were increases in fees paid to related party and mortgage servicing
fees, as discussed below.

     Total fees to related party, as presented on the consolidated statements of
income, are comprised of annual fees and incentive fees paid to the Adviser.
The Adviser receives annual fees for managing the portfolios of CRIIMI MAE and
CRI Liquidating.  These fees include a base component equal to a percentage of
average invested assets.  In addition, fees paid to the Adviser by CRI
Liquidating may include a performance-based component that is referred to as the
deferred component.  The deferred component,

<PAGE>

                                       49

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

which is also calculated as a percentage of average invested assets, is computed
each quarter but paid (and expensed) only upon meeting certain performance
goals.  If these goals are not met, the deferred component accumulates and may
be paid in the future if cumulative goals are met.  In addition, certain
incentive fees are paid by CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating on a current basis if
certain performance goals are met.

     Total fees to related party increased approximately $1.1 million or 38.5%
to approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This increase
was the result of increases in the CRIIMI MAE incentive and annual fees during
the year ended December 31, 1994, as discussed below.  Annual fees increased
approximately $763,000 or 30.5% to approximately $3.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994 from approximately $2.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1993.  This increase was primarily due to increased acquisitions of
mortgages and other mortgage investments and advances on Government Insured
Construction Mortgages.  Partially offsetting this increase in annual fees for
the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993, was a
reduction in the base component of the annual fees payable by CRI Liquidating
resulting from mortgage dispositions during 1994 and 1993, as well as a
reduction in the base component of the CRI Liquidating annual fee from .25% to
.125% of average invested assets formerly held by CRIIMI III.  Also offsetting
this increase in annual fees for this period was a reduction in the deferred
component of the CRI Liquidating annual fee.

     The CRIIMI MAE incentive fee is equal to 25% of the amount by which net
income from additional mortgage investments exceeds the annual target return on
equity and is payable quarterly, subject to year-end adjustment.  The incentive
fee increased approximately $284,000 or 132.6% to approximately $498,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994 from approximately $214,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in
CRIIMI MAE's net income from additional mortgage investments during the year
ended December 31, 1994 as a result of the increase in mortgage investment
income and the decrease in other operating expenses, as discussed above. Also
contributing to the increase was the recognition of a tax basis gain of
approximately $937,000 in connection with the prepayment of the mortgage on
Williamstown Apartments.

     General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $501,000 or
13.2% to approximately $3.3 million in 1994 from approximately $3.8 million
1993.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in professional
services as a result of the settlement of litigation, as discussed below.

     Mortgage servicing fees increased approximately $151,000 or $30.9% to
approximately $641,000 in 1994 from approximately $490,000 in 1993.  This
increase is attributable to the increase in mortgage acquisitions during 1993
and 1994.

                                       50

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

     Provision for settlement of litigation decreased approximately $2.0 million
or 133% in 1994 from $1.5 million in 1993.  This decrease is attributable to an
adjustment in the number of warrants issued in connection with the settlement of
litigation, as discussed below in "Other Events."

     Net gains or losses on mortgage dispositions are based on the number,
carrying amounts, and proceeds of mortgage investments disposed of during the
period.  Net gains on mortgage dispositions increased approximately $5.6 million
or 76.7% to approximately $13.0 million in the year ended December 31, 1994 from
approximately $7.4 million in the year ended December 31, 1993.  This increase
was primarily due to the sale of nineteen CRI Liquidating Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages during 1994.  These dispositions resulted in financial
statement gains of approximately $12.5 million and tax basis gains of
approximately $18.3 million.  This compares to the disposition of ten CRI
Liquidating Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages during the year ended
December 31, 1993, that generated financial statement gains of approximately
$8.1 million and tax basis gains of approximately $14.9 million.

1993 VERSUS 1992

     CRIIMI MAE earned approximately $23.0 million in tax basis income for 1993,
a 6.4% increase from approximately $21.6 million for 1992.  On a per share
basis, tax basis income for 1993 increased to approximately $1.14 per share from
approximately $1.07 per share for 1992.

     Net income for financial statement purposes was approximately $15.8 million
for 1993, a 1.8% decrease from approximately $16.0 million for 1992.  On a per
share basis, financial statement net income for 1993 decreased to approximately
$0.78 per share from $0.79 per share for 1992.

     Mortgage investment income increased $4.4 million or 9.4% to $50.3 million
for 1993 from $45.9 million for 1992.  This increase was due principally to an
increase in mortgage investments, net of dispositions, resulting from
acquisitions and advances on Government Insured Construction Mortgages during
1993 which were funded principally by proceeds from the Master Repurchase
Agreements.

     Other income increased $1.4 million or 30.0% to $6.2 million for 1993 from
$4.8 million for 1992. This increase was attributable primarily to approximately
$175 million in other short-term investments acquired by CRIIMI MAE and CRI
Liquidating during 1993, all of which were disposed of by December 31, 1993 as
compared to approximately $67 million in other short-term investments acquired
by CRI Liquidating during 1992, all of which were disposed of by December 31,
1992.

     Total income increased $5.8 million or 11.3% to $56.5 million for 1993 from
$50.7 million for 1992.  This increase was primarily

                                       51

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

due to the growth in mortgage investment income and other income during 1993.

     Interest expense increased $3.6 million or 14.8% to $28.0 million for 1993
from $24.4 million for 1992.  This increase was principally a result of greater
amounts borrowed during 1993 under the Master Repurchase Agreements entered into
in April 1993 which provided financing of $350 million, of which approximately
$331.7 million was outstanding as of December 31, 1993.  This increase was
partially offset by a reduction in interest rates on CRIIMI MAE's borrowings for
1993 as compared to 1992.

     In December 1993, CRIIMI MAE paid approximately $4.9 million to CIBC to
terminate an interest rate swap entered into on February 8, 1990 with a notional
amount of $25 million and a fixed rate of 9.23%.  The termination of this swap
was effective December 1, 1993.

     Other operating expenses increased $1.1 million or 32.4% to $4.6 million in
1993 from $3.5 million in 1992.  This increase was attributable primarily to
legal fees incurred in connection with certain litigation as described below in
"Other Events."  Also contributing to the increase in other operating expenses
was an increase in general and administrative expenses due primarily to
increased mortgage acquisition and disposition activities, the increase in costs
to produce CRIIMI MAE's 1992 Annual Report to Shareholders due to its increased
size and mailing costs, and the recognition of costs incurred in connection with
CRIIMI MAE's reincorporation as a Maryland corporation which was effective in
July 1993.

     Fees to related party increased $0.5 million or 21.3% to $2.7 million for
1993 from $2.2 million for 1992.  This increase was due primarily to an increase
in annual fees and incentive fees during 1993, as discussed below.  Annual fees
increased $0.4 million or 20.6% to $2.5 million for 1993 from $2.1 million for
1992.  This increase was primarily due to increased CRIIMI MAE mortgage assets,
including advances on Government Insured Construction Mortgages.  Also
contributing to the increase for 1993 was the payment by CRI Liquidating in
1993, of the deferred component of the annual fee due to specific performance
goals being met, which included the payment of the deferred component for the
second half of 1992.  Partially offsetting the increase in annual fees for 1993
was a reduction in the mortgage base, which is a component used in determining
the annual fees payable by CRI Liquidating.  The mortgage base has been
decreasing as CRI Liquidating effects its business plan to liquidate by 1997.

     The incentive fee increased approximately $50,000 or 30.6% to $0.2 million
for 1993 from $0.2 million for 1992.  This increase was primarily attributable
to the fact that CRIIMI MAE's net income from additional mortgage investments
exceeded the annual target return on equity during both the second and third
quarters of 1993; accordingly, an incentive fee was paid during those quarters.
This compares to 1992 when CRIIMI MAE's net income from additional

<PAGE>

                                       52

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

mortgage investments exceeded the annual target return on equity only in the
third quarter.

     During 1993, CRIIMI MAE recorded a provision of $1.5 million, including
$0.25 million paid in cash, in connection with the settlement of the litigation
described below in "Other Events."

     Total expenses increased $11.7 million or 38.6% to $41.8 million for 1993
from $30.1 million for 1992.  This increase was principally due to costs
incurred to terminate an interest rate swap, an increase in interest expense and
the recognition of a provision for settlement of litigation described below in
"Other Events."

     Net gains on mortgage dispositions increased $1.7 million or 28.3% to $7.4
million in 1993 from $5.7 million in 1992. Gains on mortgage dispositions
increased $2.0 million or 32.7% to $8.1 million in 1993 from $6.1 million in
1992.  This increase was primarily due to the disposition of 17 mortgages during
1993, 11 of which resulted in gains.  This compares to the disposition of seven
mortgages during 1992, three of which resulted in gains.  Losses on mortgage
dispositions increased $0.4 million or 98.4% to $0.8 million in 1993 from $0.4
million in 1992 due to the financial statement loss of $0.5 million recognized
in March 1993 as a result of the prepayment of the mortgage on Owings Manor
Apartments.

     In November 1993, CRIIMI MAE recognized a financial statement gain of
approximately $3.3 million and a tax basis gain of approximately $4.9 million in
connection with the sale of 3,162,500 CRI Liquidating shares held by CRIIMI MAE.


REIT STATUS

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating have qualified and intend to continue to
qualify as REITs as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, will not
be taxed on that portion of their taxable income which is distributed to share-
holders provided that at least 95% of such taxable income is distributed.
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating intend to distribute substantially all of their
taxable income and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  CRIIMI MAE and CRI
Liquidating, however, may be subject to tax at normal corporate rates on net
income or capital gains not distributed.

OTHER EVENTS

     In connection with the settlement of certain class action litigation
involving CRIIMI MAE and certain of its affiliates, CRIIMI MAE entered into a
settlement agreement, which was approved by the Court on November 18, 1993,
providing, among other things, for the issuance of up to 2.5 million warrants,
exercisable for 18 months after issuance, to purchase shares of CRIIMI MAE
common stock at an exercise price of $13.17 per share (the Settlement
Agreement).  The number of warrants to be issued was dependent on the number of
class members who submitted proof of claim forms by

<PAGE>

                                       53

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

April 15, 1994.  Based on the proofs of claim submitted as of such date, CRIIMI
MAE issued approximately 334,000 warrants pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.
In April 1994, CRIIMI MAE filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Commission
File No. 33-53031) to register up to 375,000 shares of CRIIMI MAE's common
stock, issuable upon the exercise of the warrants of CRIIMI MAE.

     Based on the Adviser's initial estimate of the number of warrants to be
issued, CRIIMI MAE accrued a total provision of $1.5 million (which included the
uninsured portion of a cash payment of $250,000 made in connection with the
Settlement Agreement) in its consolidated statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 1993.  Because the actual number of warrants issued pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement was significantly lower than the initial estimate, CRIIMI
MAE reduced this provision in June 1994 to approximately $950,000.

     The exercise of the warrants will not result in a charge to CRIIMI MAE's
tax basis income.  Further, the Adviser believes that the exercise of the
warrants will not have a material adverse effect on CRIIMI MAE's tax basis
income per share or annualized cash dividends per share because CRIIMI MAE will
invest the proceeds from any exercise of the warrants in accordance with its
investment policy to purchase Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages or other
authorized investments.  However, in the case of a significant decline in the
yield on mortgage investments and a significant decrease in the net positive
spread which CRIIMI MAE could achieve on its borrowings, the exercise of the
warrants may have a dilutive effect on tax basis income per share and cash
dividends per share.  Receipt of the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants
will increase CRIIMI MAE's shareholders' equity.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The following estimated fair values of CRIIMI MAE's consolidated financial
instruments are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which define fair value as the amount at which a financial instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced or liquidation sale.  These estimated fair values, however, do not
represent the liquidation value or the market value of CRIIMI MAE.

     In connection with CRIIMI MAE's and CRI Liquidating's implementation of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115) as of December 31, 1993,
CRIIMI MAE's Investment in Mortgages continues to be recorded at amortized cost;
however, CRI Liquidating's Investment in Mortgages, is recorded at fair value as
of December 31, 1994.  The difference between the amortized cost and the fair
value of CRI Liquidating's Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages represents
the net unrealized gains on CRI Liquidating's Government Insured Multifamily
Mortgages.  CRIIMI MAE's share of the net unrealized gains on CRI Liquidating's
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages is reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1994.

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:

INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGES

     The fair value of the Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages is based on
the average of the quoted market prices from three investment banking
institutions who trade these instruments as part of their day-to-day activities.

INVESTMENT IN SUBORDINATED SECURITIES

     The fair value of the investments in subordinated securities is based on
the price obtained from an investment banking institution which trades
subordinated securities.  Given the limited market for these securities, only
one quote was available.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

OBLIGATIONS INCURRED UNDER FINANCING FACILITIES

     The carrying amount approximates fair value because the current rate on the
debt is reset quarterly based on market rates.

INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS

     The fair value of interest rate hedge agreements (used to hedge CRIIMI
MAE's debt) is the estimated amount that CRIIMI MAE would receive to terminate
the agreements as of December 31, 1994, taking into account current interest
rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.  The amount was
determined based on the average of two quotes received from financial
institutions which enter into these types of transactions as part of their day-
to-day activities.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders of
  CRIIMI MAE Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CRIIMI MAE
Inc. (CRIIMI MAE) and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of CRIIMI MAE's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of CRIIMI MAE and
its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1992,
1993 and 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   Organization

     CRIIMI MAE Inc. (CRIIMI MAE) (formerly CRI Insured Mortgage Association,
Inc.), is an infinite-life, actively managed real estate investment trust
(REIT), which specializes in government insured and guaranteed mortgage
investments secured by multifamily housing complexes (Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages) located throughout the United States. CRIIMI MAE's
principal objectives are to provide stable or growing quarterly cash
distributions to its shareholders while preserving and protecting its capital.
CRIIMI MAE has sought to achieve these objectives by investing in Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages and, to a lesser degree, higher yielding uninsured
subordinated securities using a combination of debt and equity financing.
CRIIMI MAE and its subsidiary, CRI Liquidating REIT, Inc. (CRI Liquidating), are
Maryland corporations.

     In addition to its portfolio of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages
and other assets, CRIIMI MAE also owns approximately 57% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of CRI Liquidating, a finite-life, self-liquidating
REIT which owns Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages.

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating were formed in 1989 to effect the merger
into CRI Liquidating (the CRIIMI Merger) of three federally insured mortgage
funds sponsored by C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), a Delaware corporation formed in 1974:
CRI Insured Mortgage Investments Limited Partnership (CRIIMI I); CRI Insured
Mortgage Investments II, Inc. (CRIIMI II); and CRI Insured Mortgage Investments
III Limited Partnership (CRIIMI III; and, together with CRIIMI I and CRIIMI II,
the CRIIMI Funds).  The CRIIMI  Merger was effected to provide certain potential
benefits to investors in the CRIIMI Funds, including the elimination of
unrelated business taxable income for certain tax-exempt investors, the
diversification of investments, the reduction of general overhead and
administrative costs as a percentage of assets and total income and the
simplification of tax reporting information.  In the CRIIMI Merger, which was
approved by investors in each of the CRIIMI Funds and subsequently consummated
on November 27, 1989, investors in the CRIIMI Funds received, at their option,
shares of CRI Liquidating common stock or shares of CRIIMI MAE common stock.

     Investors in the CRIIMI Funds that received shares of CRIIMI MAE common
stock became shareholders in an infinite-life, actively managed REIT having the
potential to increase the size of its portfolio and enhance the returns to its
shareholders.  CRIIMI MAE shareholders retained their economic interests in the
assets of the CRIIMI Funds which were transferred to CRI Liquidating through the
issuance of one CRI Liquidating share to CRIIMI MAE for each share of CRIIMI MAE
common stock issued to investors in the CRIIMI Merger.  Upon the completion of
the CRIIMI Merger, CRIIMI MAE held a total of 20,361,807 CRI Liquidating shares,
or approximately 67% of the issued and outstanding CRI Liquidating shares.

1.   Organization - Continued

     Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated November 28, 1989 between
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating, CRIIMI MAE sold 3,162,500 of its CRI Liquidating
shares in an underwritten public offering which was consummated in November 1993
reducing CRIIMI MAE's ownership of CRI Liquidating to approximately 57%.

     Investors in the CRIIMI Funds that received shares of CRI Liquidating
common stock, as well as CRIIMI MAE, became shareholders in a finite-life, self-
liquidating REIT, the assets of which consist primarily of Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages and other assets formerly held by the CRIIMI Funds.  CRI
Liquidating intends to hold, manage and dispose of its mortgage investments in
accordance with the objectives and policies of the CRIIMI Funds, including
disposing of any remaining mortgage investments by 1997 through an orderly
liquidation.

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating are governed by a board of directors, a
majority of whom are independent directors.  The Board of Directors of CRIIMI
MAE and CRI Liquidating has engaged CRI Insured Mortgage Associates Adviser
Limited Partnership (the Adviser) to act in the capacity of adviser to CRIIMI
MAE and CRI Liquidating. The Adviser's general partner is CRI and its operations
are conducted by CRI's employees.  CRIIMI MAE's and CRI Liquidating's executive
officers are senior executive officers of CRI.  The Adviser manages CRIIMI MAE's
portfolio of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and other assets with the
goal of maximizing CRIIMI MAE's value, and conducts CRIIMI MAE's day-to-day
operations.  Under an advisory agreement between CRIIMI MAE and the Adviser, the
Adviser and its affiliates receive certain fees and expense reimbursements.

     CRIIMI MAE's board of directors has determined that it is in CRIIMI MAE's
best interest to consider a proposed transaction in which CRIIMI MAE would
become a self-managed and self-administered REIT.  As previously discussed,
CRIIMI MAE's portfolio management and day-to-day operations are currently
conducted by the Adviser, which is affiliated with CRI.  CRI is owned by William
B. Dockser and H. William Willoughby, who are executive officers and directors
of CRIIMI MAE.

     CRIIMI MAE's board has formed a special committee comprised of the
independent directors to evaluate a proposed merger of CRI's mortgage
businesses, including the advisory business conducted on CRIIMI MAE's behalf and
certain other mortgage investment, servicing, origination and advisory
businesses which CRI currently conducts through various affiliates (CRI Mortgage
Businesses).  The proposal calls for CRIIMI MAE to acquire the CRI Mortgage
Businesses, including CRICO Mortgage Company, Inc. (CRICO) and other CRI-
affiliates by:

     -    issuing common stock to CRI's owners, William B. Dockser and H.
          William Willoughby, and certain other executive officers of CRIIMI
          MAE, with the exact number

          of shares determined by dividing $21.4 million by the aggregate
          average of the high and low sales prices of CRIIMI MAE's common stock
          over the 10 trading days preceding the execution of a definitive
          merger agreement, provided that at the closing of the transaction the
          stock issued cannot total more than $22.9 million or more than
          2,761,290 shares,

     -    assuming $9.1 million of outstanding debt of the CRI Mortgage
          Businesses, and

     -    granting CRI's owners options valued at approximately $1.5 million to
          purchase an additional three million shares of CRIIMI MAE common
          stock.  (Options for two million shares will vest pro rata over five
          years and are exercisable at $1.50 per share over the average high and
          low sales prices during the 10 trading days preceding the date of the
          closing of this transaction.  Options for one million shares will vest
          pro rata over five years and are exercisable at $4.00 per share over
          the same average high and low price.)  The options expire eight years
          after issuance.

     The special committee of independent directors has engaged Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated to act as CRIIMI MAE's financial advisor in
connection with the proposed merger and Duff & Phelps Capital Markets Co. to
render an opinion as to the fairness of the proposed merger to the stockholders
of CRIIMI MAE.  The proposed merger is subject to a number of conditions,
including the negotiation of a definitive merger agreement, the delivery of a
fairness opinion by Duff & Phelps Capital Markets Co., final approval by the
special committee of independent directors and the approval of the holders of a
majority of CRIIMI MAE's common shares voted at a meeting where a quorum is
present.

     On September 6, 1991, CRIIMI MAE, through its wholly owned subsidiary
CRIIMI, Inc., acquired from Integrated Resources, Inc. (Integrated) all of the
general partnership interests in four publicly held limited partnerships known
as the American Insured Mortgage Investors Funds (the AIM Funds).  The AIM Funds
own mortgage investments which are substantially similar to those owned by
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating.  CRIIMI, Inc. receives the general partner's
share of income, loss and distributions (which ranges among the AIM Funds from
2.9% to 4.9%) from each of the AIM Funds.  In addition, CRIIMI MAE owns
indirectly a limited partnership interest in the adviser to the AIM Funds in
respect of which CRIIMI MAE receives a guaranteed return each year.

     CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating have qualified and intend to continue to
qualify as REITs under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code.  As REITs,
CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating do not pay taxes at the corporate level.
Qualification for treatment as REITs requires CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating to

meet certain criteria, including certain requirements regarding the nature of
their ownership, assets, income and distributions of taxable income.

     Beginning in the third quarter of 1994, CRIIMI MAE implemented a dividend
reinvestment and stock purchase plan (the Plan) which allows shareholders who
elect to participate in the Plan (Participants) to purchase additional CRIIMI
MAE shares at a 2% discount through the reinvestment of CRIIMI MAE's dividends
and through optional cash payments.  Common shares purchased under the Plan may
be, at CRIIMI MAE's option, newly issued common shares or common shares
purchased for Participants in the open market.  The price of common shares
purchased from CRIIMI MAE with reinvested dividends will be 98% of the average
of the closing sales prices of the common shares as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the five trading days prior to the date on
which dividends are paid subject to any threshold price restrictions, as more
fully described in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC
covering the shares to be issued under the Plan.  The price to Participants of
common shares purchased in the open market with reinvested dividends will be 98%
of the average price of common shares purchased for the Plan by the Agent over
the period during which such common shares are purchased, exclusive of taxes and
commissions.  CRIIMI MAE reserves the right to modify the pricing or any other
provision of the Plan at any time.  Participants in the Plan may have cash
dividends on all or a portion of their common shares automatically reinvested.
Participants may terminate their accounts at any time in the manner provided for
in the Plan.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
          The consolidated financial statements of CRIIMI MAE are prepared on
     the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS
          Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements as of
     December 31, 1993 and for the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993 have
     been reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
          Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds, time and
     demand deposits and repurchase agreements with original maturities of three
     months or less.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

     CONSOLIDATION AND MINORITY INTERESTS
          The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position,
     results of operations, and cash flows of CRIIMI MAE, CRI Liquidating, and
     CRIIMI, Inc., for all periods presented.  All intercompany accounts and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

          Since CRIIMI MAE owned approximately 67%, 57% and 57% of CRI
     Liquidating as of December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively, the
     ownership interests of the other shareholders in the equity and net income
     of CRI Liquidating are reflected as minority interests in the accompanying
     consolidated financial statements.

     CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
          Since the consolidated statements of cash flows are intended to
     reflect only cash receipt and cash payment activity, the consolidated
     statements of cash flows do not reflect investing and financing activities
     that affect recognized assets and liabilities and do not result in cash
     receipts or cash payments.  Such activity consisted of the following:

          -    In July 1991, CRI Liquidating received $2,334,150 in 12 3/4%
               United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
               debentures as proceeds from the disposition of the mortgage
               investment in Oak Hill Road Apartments. The proceeds from the
               redemption of the HUD debentures, including interest, were
               received in January 1992.

          Cash payments made for interest for the years ended December 31, 1992,
     1993 and 1994 were $20,826,987, $22,448,356 and $29,691,138, respectively.

     INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGES
          In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
     Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115).  This statement
     requires that most investments in debt and equity securities be classified
     into one of the following investment categories based upon the
     circumstances under which such securities might be sold:  Held to Maturity,
     Available for Sale, and Trading.  Generally, certain debt securities for
     which an enterprise has both the ability and intent to hold to maturity
     should be accounted for using the amortized cost method and all other
     securities must be recorded at their fair values.  This statement was
     adopted for the year ended December 31, 1993.

          CRIIMI MAE, an infinite-life entity, has the intent and ability to
     hold its mortgage investments until maturity.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

     Consequently, all of its mortgage investments have been classified as Held
     to Maturity and continue to be recorded at amortized cost as of December
     31, 1994.  CRI Liquidating intends to dispose of its existing Government
     Insured Multifamily Mortgages by 1997 through an orderly liquidation.  In
     order to achieve this objective, CRI Liquidating will sell certain of its
     mortgage investments in addition to mortgages assigned to HUD.
     Consequently, the Adviser believes that the mortgage investments held by
     CRI Liquidating fall into the Available for Sale category (as defined by
     SFAS 115).  As such, as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, all of CRI
     Liquidating's mortgage investments are recorded at fair value with CRIIMI
     MAE's share of the net unrealized gains on CRI Liquidating's mortgage
     investments reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
     Subsequent increases or decreases in the fair value of Available for Sale
     mortgage investments will be included as a separate component of
     shareholders' equity.  Realized gains and losses for mortgage investments
     classified as Available for Sale will continue to be reported in earnings,
     as discussed below. Prior to December 31, 1993, CRI Liquidating accounted
     for its mortgage investments at amortized cost.

          The difference between the cost and the unpaid principal balance at
     the time of purchase is carried as a discount or premium and amortized over
     the remaining contractual life of the mortgage using the effective interest
     method.  The effective interest method provides a constant yield of income
     over the term of the mortgage.

          Mortgage investment income is comprised of amortization of the
     discount plus the stated mortgage interest payments received or accrued
     less amortization of the premium.

          CRIIMI MAE's consolidated investment in mortgages is comprised of
     participation certificates evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial interest
     in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages issued or sold pursuant to
     programs of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) (FHA-Insured Loans),
     mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage
     Association (GNMA) (GNMA-Mortgage-Backed Securities) and certain other
     mortgage investments which are not federally insured or guaranteed. Payment
     of principal and interest on FHA-Insured Loans is insured by HUD pursuant
     to Title 2 of the National Housing Act.  Payment of principal and interest
     on GNMA-Mortgage-Backed Securities is guaranteed by GNMA pursuant to Title
     3 of the National Housing Act.

     INVESTMENT IN SUBORDINATED SECURITIES
          As an infinite-life entity, CRIIMI MAE has the intent and ability to
     hold its investments in subordinated securities until maturity.
     Consequently, these investments

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

     are classified as Held to Maturity and are carried at amortized cost as of
     December 31, 1994.

          Income on investments in subordinated securities is recognized on the
     effective interest method using the anticipated yield to maturity on these
     investments.

     MORTGAGES HELD FOR DISPOSITION
          At any point in time, CRIIMI MAE may be aware of certain mortgages
     which have been assigned to HUD or for which the servicer has received
     proceeds from a prepayment.  In these cases, CRIIMI MAE will classify these
     mortgages as Mortgages Held for Disposition.  Mortgages Held for
     Disposition have been accounted for at the lower of cost or market prior to
     December 31, 1993, and at fair value as of December 31, 1993 and 1994 under
     the Available for Sale criteria of SFAS 115.

          Gains from dispositions of mortgages are recognized upon the receipt
     of funds or HUD debentures.

          Losses on dispositions of mortgages are recognized when it becomes
     probable that a mortgage will be disposed of and that the disposition will
     result in a loss.

     INVESTMENT IN INSURED MORTGAGE FUNDS AND ADVISORY
       PARTNERSHIP
          The acquisition of certain interests in the AIM Funds in September
     1991, including certain acquisition costs aggregating approximately $7.7
     million, have been recorded under the purchase method of accounting, which
     provides that the investment be recorded at cost, including the acquisition
     costs. CRIIMI MAE is utilizing the equity method of accounting for its
     investment in the AIM Funds and advisory partnership, which provides for
     recording CRIIMI MAE's share of net earnings or losses in the AIM Funds and
     advisory partnership reduced by distributions from the limited partnerships
     and adjusted for purchase accounting amortization.  The purchase price,
     including the deferred acquisition costs, was allocated among the general
     partner interests and the advisory partnership interest based on the
     partnerships' and advisory contracts' estimated fair values.  The general
     partnership and advisory interests were assigned a total value of
     approximately $27 million and $5 million, respectively.

     DEFERRED COSTS
          Included in deferred costs are mortgage selection fees, which have
     been paid to the Adviser of CRIIMI MAE or were paid to the former general
     partners or adviser to the CRIIMI Funds.  These deferred costs are being
     amortized using the

     effective interest method on a specific mortgage basis from the date of the
     acquisition of the related mortgage to the expected dissolution date of CRI
     Liquidating or over the term of the mortgage for CRIIMI MAE.  Upon
     disposition of a mortgage, the related unamortized fee is treated as part
     of the mortgage investment carrying value in order to measure the gain or
     loss on the disposition.

     DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
          Costs incurred in connection with the establishment and issuance of
     CRIIMI MAE's financing facilities are amortized using the effective
     interest method over the terms of the borrowings.

     INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS
          Amounts to be paid or received under interest rate hedge agreements
     are accrued currently and are netted for financial statement presentation
     purposes.

     SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
          CRIIMI MAE has authorized 60,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common
     stock and issued 21,184,807 and 26,227,253 shares as of December 31, 1993
     and 1994, respectively.  All shares issued, exclusive of the shares held in
     treasury, are outstanding.  As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively,
     7,732 and 7,421 shares were held for issuance pending presentation of
     predecessor units and were considered outstanding. Additionally, 25,000,000
     shares of $.01 par value preferred stock are authorized; however, no shares
     are issued or outstanding.

     INCOME TAXES
          CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating have qualified and intend to continue
     to qualify as REITs as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and, as such,
     will not be taxed on that portion of their taxable income which is
     distributed to shareholders provided that at least 95% of such taxable
     income is distributed.  CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating intend to distribute
     substantially all of their taxable income and, accordingly, no provision
     for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements.  CRIIMI MAE and CRI Liquidating, however, may be subject to tax
     at normal corporate rates on net income or capital gains not distributed.

CRIIMI MAE'S ADVISORY AGREEMENT

     CRIIMI MAE has entered into an agreement with the Adviser (the Advisory
Agreement) under which the Adviser is obligated to present an investment program
to CRIIMI MAE, to evaluate and negotiate voluntary and involuntary mortgage
dispositions, provide administrative services for CRIIMI MAE and conduct CRIIMI
MAE's day-to-day operations.

     The Advisory Agreement is for a term through November 27, 1995.  The
Advisory Agreement, absent a notice of termination or non-renewal, will be
automatically renewed for successive three-year terms.  The Advisory Agreement
may be terminated solely for cause, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, by
CRIIMI MAE or the Adviser.  Notice of non-renewal must be given at least 180
days prior to the expiration date of the Advisory Agreement.  If CRIIMI MAE
terminates the Advisory Agreement other than for cause, or the Adviser termi-
nates the Advisory Agreement for cause, in addition to compensation otherwise
due, CRIIMI MAE will be required to pay the Adviser a fee equal to the Annual
Fee (as described below) payable for the previous fiscal year.  If the Advisory
Agreement is not renewed, no termination fee will be payable.

     Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser receives compensation from CRIIMI
MAE as follows:

     o    An annual fee (the Annual Fee) for managing CRIIMI MAE's portfolio of
          mortgages. The Annual Fee is equal to 0.375% of average invested
          assets invested in Additional Mortgage Investments (defined as
          mortgages acquired by CRIIMI MAE after the CRIIMI Merger), payable
          quarterly.

     o    Included in the Annual Fee shown in the preceding table is the Master
          Servicing Fee for overseeing the servicing of the Additional Mortgage
          Investments.  The master servicing fee is equal to 0.025% annually of
          the outstanding face balance of the Additional Mortgage Investments,
          payable quarterly.

     o    A mortgage selection fee for analyzing, evaluating and structuring
          Additional Mortgage Investments.  The mortgage selection fee equals
          0.75% of amounts invested in Additional Mortgage Investments.  The
          Adviser is also entitled to receive one-half of the fees paid to
          CRIIMI MAE by the owner or developer of a property underlying a
          participating mortgage investment, provided that the interest rate on
          the base mortgage investment is at least equal to the prevailing
          market interest rate for similar base mortgage investments coupled
          with investments in limited partnerships.

3.   Transactions with Related Parties - Continued

          In 1991, the Adviser adopted a policy with respect to borrowings above
          and beyond the original $140 million notes and $140 million Commercial
          Paper Facility (Incremental Borrowings) which would result in a
          reduction in the amount of fees payable by CRIIMI MAE if Net Positive
          Spreads (the difference between the yield on mortgage investments
          purchased after those mortgages purchased with the original $140
          million notes and $140 million Commercial Paper Facility and the cost
          of funds for all Incremental Borrowings including associated operating
          costs on a tax basis) are not maintained:  the total annual fee and
          master servicing fee of 0.40% of invested assets payable to the
          Adviser with respect to mortgage investments purchased after those
          mortgages acquired with the proceeds of the original $140 million
          notes and $140 million Commercial Paper Facility will be reduced
          incrementally if CRIIMI MAE's Net Positive Spread on such debt falls
          below 0.40%.  During 1994, the Net Positive Spread on the Incremental
          Borrowings was in excess of 0.40%.  Additionally, as required by this
          policy the mortgage selection fee will be eliminated upon reinvestment
          of proceeds of mortgage dispositions where the mortgage investment was
          purchased with borrowed funds and disposed of in less than five years
          without providing a cumulative yield on the original mortgage
          investment at disposition of at least 100 basis points higher than the
          original yield at the date of purchase.

     o    An incentive fee equal to 25% of the amount by which net income from
          Additional Mortgage Investments exceeds the annual target return on
          equity is payable quarterly, subject to year-end adjustment. Net
          income from Additional Mortgage Investments is the difference between
          mortgage investment income, including gains or losses on dispositions,
          from the mortgage investments directly invested in by CRIIMI MAE less
          financing costs and operating expenses, including a portion of CRIIMI
          MAE's general and administrative and professional expenses that the
          Adviser has determined to be specifically assigned to those mortgage
          investments.  All amounts for the purposes of this computation are on
          a tax basis. The target return on equity will be determined on a
          quarterly basis and will equal 1% over the average yield on Treasury
          Bonds maturing nearest to ten years from such quarter, as reported on
          a daily basis throughout such quarter, based on quotations supplied by
          the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as reported by The Wall Street
          Journal.

     As discussed in Note 1, in connection with the proposed transaction in
which CRIIMI MAE would become a self-managed and self-administered REIT, CRIIMI
MAE would acquire the CRI Mortgage

Businesses.  If this transaction is approved by the special committee of
independent directors and the stockholders, all payments made by CRIIMI MAE
under the Advisory Agreement to the Adviser and to CRI would cease upon the
consummation of the transaction and CRIIMI MAE would no longer have a guaranteed
$700,000 distribution from CRI/AIM Investment Limited Partnership.  Although
expense reimbursements to CRI by CRIIMI MAE would no longer be made, CRIIMI MAE
would incur these expenses directly.

CRI LIQUIDATING ADVISORY AGREEMENT

     CRI Liquidating has also entered into an agreement with the Adviser (CRI
Liquidating Advisory Agreement) under which the Adviser is obligated to evaluate
and negotiate voluntary mortgage dispositions, provide administrative services
for CRI Liquidating and conduct CRI Liquidating's day-to-day affairs.

     Under the CRI Liquidating Advisory Agreement, the Adviser receives
compensation from CRI Liquidating as follows:

     o    An annual fee (the CRI Liquidating Annual Fee) for managing CRI
          Liquidating's portfolio of mortgages.  The CRI Liquidating Annual Fee
          is calculated separately for each of the remaining mortgage pools from
          the former CRIIMI Funds. With respect to CRIIMI I, the CRI Liquidating
          Annual Fee will equal 0.75% of average invested assets invested in
          mortgage investments transferred by CRIIMI I in the CRIIMI Merger,
          one-third of which will be deferred and paid on a cumulative basis
          only during such quarters as the carryover CRIIMI I target yield, as
          discussed below, is achieved on a cumulative basis.  Any such deferred
          amounts will be paid only out of proceeds of mortgage dispositions
          attributable to CRIIMI I mortgage investments.

          With respect to CRIIMI II, the CRI Liquidating Annual Fee will equal
          0.75% of average invested assets invested in existing mortgage
          investments transferred by CRIIMI II in the CRIIMI Merger, one-fourth
          of which will be deferred and paid on a cumulative basis only during
          such quarters as the carryover CRIIMI II target yield, as discussed
          below, is achieved on a cumulative basis. Any such deferred amounts
          will be paid only out of operating income attributable to CRIIMI II
          mortgage investments.

          With respect to CRIIMI III, the CRI Liquidating Annual Fee will equal
          0.25% of average invested assets invested in mortgage investments
          transferred by CRIIMI III in the CRIIMI Merger.  As of December 31,
          1993, this fee was reduced to 0.125% for any quarter that the
          carryover CRIIMI III cumulative annual fee yield, as discussed below,
          is not achieved.

3.   Transactions with Related Parties - Continued

          The carryover CRIIMI I target yield will be achieved during any
          quarter that the former CRIIMI I mortgage investments transferred in
          the CRIIMI Merger generate a cumulative yield (including gains or
          losses on mortgage dispositions) on amounts invested in such assets of
          13.33% per annum based on financial statement income.  The carryover
          CRIIMI II target yield will be achieved during any quarter that the
          former CRIIMI II mortgage investments transferred in the CRIIMI Merger
          generate a cumulative yield (including gains or losses on mortgage
          dispositions) on amounts invested in such assets of 11.66% per annum
          based on financial statement income.  The carryover CRIIMI III
          cumulative annual fee yield will be achieved during any quarter,
          commencing after December 31, 1993, that the former CRIIMI III
          mortgage  investments transferred in the CRIIMI Merger generate a
          cumulative yield (including gains or losses on mortgage dispositions)
          on amounts invested in such assets of 10.89% per annum based on
          financial statement income.

3.   Transactions with Related Parties - Continued

     o    The Adviser is also entitled to certain incentive fees (the Incentive
          Fees) in connection with the disposition of certain mortgage
          investments. Like the CRI Liquidating Annual Fee, the Incentive Fees
          are calculated separately with respect to mortgage investments
          transferred in the CRIIMI Merger by CRIIMI I and CRIIMI II.  No
          Incentive Fees are payable with respect to mortgage investments
          transferred by CRIIMI III.

          During any quarter in which either the carryover CRIIMI I or CRIIMI II
          target yields have been achieved on a cumulative basis and the Adviser
          has been paid any deferred amounts of the CRI Liquidating Annual Fee,
          the Incentive Fee will equal approximately 9.08% of net disposition
          proceeds representing the financial statement gain on the related
          CRIIMI I or CRIIMI II mortgage investments disposed of.

          The carryover CRIIMI I adjusted contribution and the carryover CRIIMI
          II adjusted share capital equal the aggregate adjusted contribution of
          CRIIMI I investors (initial investment of investors reduced by all
          amounts distributed to them representing distributions of principal on
          their original mortgage investments other than distributions of
          proceeds of mortgage dispositions representing market discount that
          have been applied to the target yield) and the aggregate share capital
          of CRIIMI II investors (initial investment of investors reduced by all
          amounts distributed to them representing distributions of principal on
          their original mortgage investments other than distributions of
          proceeds of mortgage dispositions representing market discount that
          have been applied to the target yield), respectively, as of November
          27, 1989, the consummation date of the CRIIMI Merger. Subsequent to
          November 27, 1989, the carryover CRIIMI I adjusted contribution and
          the carryover CRIIMI II adjusted share capital are reduced by all
          amounts of principal received from their respective former mortgage
          investments, whether as part of regular mortgage payments or as
          proceeds of mortgage dispositions, except for proceeds of mortgage
          dispositions representing market discount that have been applied to
          the respective target yield.

     As discussed in Note 1 the proposed transaction in which CRIIMI MAE would
become a self-managed and self-administered REIT has no impact on the payments
required to be made by CRI Liquidating, other than that the expense
reimbursement currently paid by CRI Liquidating to CRI in connection with the
provision of services by its Adviser will be paid to CRIIMI MAE subsequent to
the consummation of the proposed transaction.

4.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The following estimated fair values of CRIIMI MAE's consolidated financial
instruments are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which define fair value as the amount at which a financial instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced or liquidation sale.  These estimated fair values, however, do not
represent the liquidation value or the market value of CRIIMI MAE.

     In connection with CRIIMI MAE's and CRI Liquidating's implementation of
SFAS 115 as of December 31, 1993 (see Note 2), CRIIMI MAE's Investment in
Mortgages continues to be recorded at amortized cost; however, CRI Liquidating's
Investment in Mortgages is recorded at fair value as of December 31, 1993 and
1994.  The difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of CRI
Liquidating's Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages represents the net
unrealized gains on CRI Liquidating's Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages.
CRIIMI MAE's share of the net unrealized gains on CRI Liquidating's Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages is reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1993 and 1994.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments:

INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGES

     The fair value of the Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages is based on
the average of the quoted market prices from three investment banking
institutions who trade these instruments as part of their day-to-day activities.

INVESTMENT IN SUBORDINATED SECURITIES

     The fair value of the subordinated securities is based on the price
obtained from an investment banking institution which trades subordinated
securities.  Given the limited market for these securities, only one quote was
available.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE

     The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
of these instruments.

COMMERCIAL PAPER

     The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
of the debt.

OBLIGATIONS UNDER FINANCING FACILITIES

     The carrying amount approximates fair value because the current rate on the
debt is reset quarterly based on market rates.

INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS

     The fair value of interest rate hedge agreements (used to hedge CRIIMI
MAE's debt) is the estimated amount that CRIIMI MAE would pay or receive to
terminate the agreements as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, taking into account
current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.
The amount was determined based on the average of two quotes received from
financial institutions which enter into these types of transactions as part of
their day-to-day activities.

5.   Investment in Mortgages

     As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, CRIIMI MAE directly owned 126 and 173
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and Government Insured Construction
Mortgages, respectively, which had a weighted average net effective interest
rate of approximately 8.22% and 8.00%, a weighted average remaining term of
approximately 34 years and 33 years, and a tax basis of approximately $499
million and $703 million, respectively.

5.   Investment in Mortgages - Continued

     As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, CRIIMI MAE indirectly owned through its
subsidiary, CRI Liquidating, 63 and 44 Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages,
respectively, which had a weighted average net effective interest rate of
approximately 9.97% and 10.02%, a weighted average remaining term of
approximately 27 years and 26 years, and a tax basis of approximately $173
million and $123 million, respectively.

     Thus, on a consolidated basis, as of December 31, 1993 and 1994, CRIIMI MAE
owned, directly or indirectly, 189 and 217 Government Insured Multifamily
Mortgages and Government Insured Construction Mortgages, respectively.  These
investments (including Mortgages Held for Disposition) had a weighted average
net effective interest rate of approximately 8.70%, a weighted average remaining
term of approximately 32 years and a tax basis of approximately $672 million, as
of December 31, 1993.  These amounts compare to a weighted average net effective
interest rate of approximately 8.33%, a weighted average remaining term of
approximately 32 years and a tax basis of approximately $826 million, as of
December 31, 1994.  In addition, as of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had
committed approximately $9.0 million for advances on FHA-Insured Loans relating
to the construction or rehabilitation of multifamily housing projects, including
nursing homes and intermediate care facilities (Government Insured Construction
Mortgages).

     During 1994, CRIIMI MAE directly acquired 51 Government Insured Multifamily
Mortgages with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $194 million with a
weighted average net effective interest rate of approximately 7.79% and a
weighted average remaining term of approximately 32 years.  In addition, during
1994, CRIIMI MAE funded advances of approximately $41.8 million on Government
Insured Construction Mortgages with a weighted average net effective interest
rate of approximately 8.22%.  These loans are anticipated to convert to
permanent loans over the next 7 months with an anticipated maturity of 40 years.

     As discussed below, CRIIMI MAE makes direct investments in primarily two
categories of Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages at, near, or above par
value (Near Par or Premium Mortgage Investments).

     FHA-Insured Investments--The first category of Near Par or Premium Mortgage
Investments in which CRIIMI MAE invests consists of participation certificates
evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial interest in Government Insured
Multifamily Mortgages insured by FHA pursuant to provisions of the National
Housing Act (FHA-Insured Loans).  All of the FHA-Insured Loans in which CRIIMI
MAE invests are insured by HUD for effectively 99% of their current face value.
As part of its investment strategy, CRIIMI MAE also invests in Government
Insured Construction Mortgages which involve a two-tier financing process in
which a short-term loan covering construction costs is converted into a
permanent loan.  CRIIMI MAE also becomes the holder of the

permanent loan upon conversion.  The construction loan is funded in HUD-approved
draws based upon the progress of construction.  The construction loans are GNMA-
guaranteed or insured by HUD.  The construction loan generally does not amortize
during the construction period. Amortization begins upon conversion of the
construction loan into a permanent loan, which generally occurs within a
24-month period from the initial endorsement by HUD.  Approximately 31% of
CRIIMI MAE's near par or premium mortgage investments are FHA-Insured Loans or
Government Insured Construction Mortgages as of December 31, 1994.

     Mortgage-Backed Securities--The second category of Near Par or Premium
Mortgage Investments in which CRIIMI MAE invests consists of federally
guaranteed mortgage-backed securities or other securities backed by Government
Insured Multifamily Mortgages issued by entities other than GNMA
(Mortgage-Backed Securities) and Mortgage-Backed Securities 100% guaranteed as
to principal and interest by GNMA (GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities).  As of
December 31, 1994, all of CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments in this category
were GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities in
which CRIIMI MAE invests are backed by Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages
insured in whole by HUD, or insured by HUD and a coinsured lender under HUD
mortgage insurance programs and the coinsurance provisions of the National
Housing Act.  The Mortgage-Backed Securities in which CRIIMI MAE is permitted to
invest, although none have been acquired as of December 31, 1994, are backed by
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages which are insured in whole by HUD under
HUD mortgage insurance programs.  Approximately 69% of CRIIMI MAE's near par or
premium mortgage investments are GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities as of December
31, 1994.

     CRI Liquidating Mortgage Investments--CRI Liquidating's mortgage
investments consist solely of the Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages it
acquired from the CRIIMI Funds in the CRIIMI Merger.  The CRIIMI Funds invested
primarily in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages issued or sold pursuant to
programs of GNMA and FHA.

<FN>
(1)  CRIIMI MAE or CRI Liquidating may elect to receive insurance benefits in
     the form of cash when a Government Insured Multifamily Mortgage defaults.
     In that event, 90% of the face value of the mortgage generally is received
     within approximately 90 days of assignment of the mortgage to HUD and 9% of
     the face value of the mortgage is received upon final processing by HUD
     which may not occur in the same year as assignment. If CRIIMI MAE or CRI
     Liquidating elects to receive insurance benefits in the form of HUD
     debentures, 99% of the face value of the mortgage is received upon final
     processing by HUD.  Gains from dispositions are recognized upon receipt of
     funds or HUD debentures and losses generally are recognized at the time of
     assignment.
(2)  Five of the 14 assignments were sales of Government Insured Multifamily
     Mortgages then in default and resulted in the CRIIMI Funds, CRI Liquidating
     or CRIIMI MAE receiving near or above face value.
(3)  In connection with the CRIIMI Merger, CRI Liquidating recorded its
     investment in mortgages at the lower of cost or fair value, which resulted
     in an overall net write down for tax purposes.  For financial statement
     purposes, carryover basis of accounting was used.  Therefore, since the
     CRIIMI Merger, the net gain for tax purposes was greater than the net gain
     recognized for financial statement purposes.  As a REIT, dividends to
     shareholders are based on tax basis income.
</TABLE>

6.   Investment in Subordinated Securities

     In addition to investing in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages,
CRIIMI MAE's board of directors has authorized CRIIMI MAE to invest up to 20% of
CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated assets in other mortgage investments which are
not federally insured or guaranteed.  Since adoption of this policy, CRIIMI MAE
and its Adviser have been reviewing opportunities for investment in other real
estate securities which complement CRIIMI MAE's existing holdings.  In the
current investment climate, CRIIMI MAE's Adviser believes that investments in
high yielding subordinated securities represent attractive investment
opportunities.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had purchased three tranches of
securities issued by Mortgage Capital Funding, Inc. Series 1994-MC1 (MC-1) and
two tranches of securities issued by Mortgage Capital Funding, Inc. Series 1993-
C1 (C-1).  Both MC-1 and C-1 issued multiple layers of securities and have
elected to be treated as real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).

(1)  The accounting treatment required under generally accepted accounting
     principles requires that the income on these investments be recorded on a
     level yield basis given the anticipated yield to maturity on these
     investments.  This currently results in income which is lower for financial
     statement purposes than for tax purposes.
</TABLE>


     At closing, MC-1 consisted of securities having a face value of
approximately $172 million.  The collateral for the securities consisted of
uninsured mortgages with an unpaid principal balance (UPB) of approximately $172
million - 30 multifamily loans representing 72% of the UPB of the pool and 14
commercial loans representing 28% of the UPB of the pool.  The composition of
the pool as of December 31, 1994 was substantially the same.

     At closing, C-1 consisted of securities having a face value of
approximately $151 million.  The collateral for the securities consisted of
uninsured mortgages with a UPB of approximately $151 million - 29 multifamily
loans representing 47% of the UPB of the pool and 32 commercial loans
representing 53% of the UPB of the pool.  The composition of the pool as of
December 31, 1994 was approximately 39% multifamily and 62% commercial due to
prepayments of mortgages in the pool.

     The REMICs allocate the cash flow from the underlying mortgages to the
securitized tranches, with the investment grade or higher rated tranches having
a priority right to the cash flow until their investment returns are met.  Then,
any remaining cash flow is allocated among the other tranches in order of their
relative seniority.  To the extent there are defaults and unrecoverable losses
on the underlying mortgages, resulting in reduced cash flows, the unrated
tranche will bear this loss first.  To the extent there are losses in excess of
the unrated tranche's stated right to principal and interest, then the most
subordinated rated tranches will begin absorbing losses.

6.   Investment in Subordinated Securities - Continued

     As described in Note 10, during the third and fourth quarters of 1994,
CRIIMI MAE entered into a series of repurchase agreements which provided CRIIMI
MAE financing to purchase the four rated tranches of the  subordinated
securities.  Between 70% and 80% of the purchase price was financed for
aggregate borrowings of approximately $24.9 million.  Under the agreements, the
interest rate is based upon the then current one-month or six-month LIBOR, as
applicable, plus 1.0% to 1.25% depending on the specific repurchase agreement.

     In making these investments, CRIIMI MAE's Adviser and its affiliates
applied their knowledge of multifamily and commercial mortgages to perform due
diligence on the mortgage investments collateralizing the securities.  This
analysis included reviewing the operating records of the underlying real estate
assets, reviewing appraisals, environmental studies, market studies,
architectural and engineering reviews, and reviewing, and where deemed
necessary, independently developing projected operating budgets. In addition,
site visits were conducted at substantially all of the properties, in an effort
to confirm market and architectural and engineering reviews.

     CRIIMI MAE will generally make investments of this type when satisfactory
arrangements exist whereby CRIIMI MAE can closely monitor the collateral of the
pool.  In this case, CRICO, an affiliate of the Adviser, will service the
majority of the mortgage investments comprising the pools, thereby enabling
CRICO to continuously monitor the performance of the pool, while actively
pursuing resolution of any delinquencies that may develop and maintaining
current records on the properties' operations and tax and insurance liabilities.
Additionally, CRICO is the special servicer for both pools which places it
directly in the position of asset manager in the event that a default occurs.
As special servicer, CRICO will use its efforts to create a financial solution
designed to maximize the benefit to all of the investors in the portfolio,
including CRIIMI MAE.

     The anticipated returns on these investments are based upon a number of
assumptions that are currently subject to several business and economic
uncertainties and contingencies, including, without limitation, the lack of a
secondary market for these securities, prevailing interest rates, the general
condition of the real estate market, competition for tenants, and changes in
market rental rates.  As these uncertainties and contingencies are generally
beyond CRIIMI MAE's control, no assurance can be given that the anticipated
yield to maturity will be achieved.

     Although investments in Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and
government insured or guaranteed multifamily construction loans will continue to
comprise the majority of CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated asset base, CRIIMI MAE
expects that investments similar to the REMIC tranches discussed above will
represent a major component of CRIIMI MAE's new business activity during 1995.
As of December 31, 1994, these investments

represent approximately 4% of CRIIMI MAE's total consolidated assets.
Investments of this type are not anticipated to exceed 10% of CRIIMI MAE's total
consolidated asset base through 1995.

     Differences in the financial statement net income and the tax basis income
principally relate to differences in the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their related financial reporting amounts resulting from the CRIIMI Merger,
investment in mortgages, long-term debt and deferred financing costs, investment
in U.S. Treasury Securities and partnership investments. The tax basis of
investment in mortgages is approximately $13 million less than the financial
statement basis as of December 31, 1994. The tax basis of deferred financing
costs as of December 31, 1994 was approximately $6.7 million greater than the
financial statement basis. The tax basis of investments in U.S. Treasury
Securities, purchased in connection with the defeasance of long-term debt and
netted with the defeased long-term debt for financial statement purposes, is
approximately $12.6 million greater than the financial statement basis as of
December 31, 1994.

8.   Other Short-Term Investments

     During 1993, CRIIMI MAE, and, during each of 1992 and 1993, CRI Liquidating
entered into transactions in which mortgage-backed and other government agency
securities were purchased. These transactions provided CRIIMI MAE with above
average returns compared to its other short-term investments while maintaining
the high quality of its assets and assisted in maintaining CRI Liquidating's
REIT status.  Some of these purchases were financed with borrowings which were
nonrecourse and fully secured with the purchased mortgage-backed and other
government agency securities.  As of December 31, 1993, CRIIMI MAE and as of
December 31, 1992 and 1993, CRI Liquidating had disposed of the mortgage-backed
and other government agency securities acquired in such year and repaid the
related debt.

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     On April 30, 1993, CRIIMI MAE entered into master repurchase agreements
(collectively, with the additional repurchase agreements described below, the
Master Repurchase Agreements) with Nomura Securities International, Inc. and
Nomura Asset Capital Corporation (collectively, Nomura) which provided CRIIMI
MAE with $350.0 million of available financing for a three-year term, expiring
April 30, 1996.  Interest on such borrowings is based on the three-month LIBOR
plus .75% or .50% depending on whether FHA-Insured Loans or GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities, respectively, are pledged as collateral.  The rate on the facility
as of December 31, 1994, including  the applicable spreads, was 6.31% on the
borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans and 6.06% on the borrowings secured by
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The rates in effect on December 31, 1994 were
set on October 24, 1994 and reset on January 23, 1995 for three months at
6.875%, including the spread, for the borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities.  (As discussed below, the borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans
were paid off on January 23, 1995 with proceeds from a new facility with the
German American Capital Corporation (GACC)).  The value of the FHA-Insured Loans
and the GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities pledged as collateral must equal at
least 110% and 105%, respectively, of the amounts borrowed.  No more than 60% of
the collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured Loans and no less than 40% may be GNMA
Mortgage-Backed Securities.

     On November 30, 1993, CRIIMI MAE entered into additional repurchase
agreements with Nomura pursuant to which Nomura agreed to provide CRIIMI MAE
with an additional $150.0 million of available financing for a three-year term,
expiring October 27, 1996.  Interest on such borrowings for the first twelve
months after the initial funding (April 1994 through April 1995) is based on the
three-month LIBOR plus .90% or .70% depending on whether FHA-Insured Loans or
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities, respectively, are pledged as collateral.
Interest on the borrowings from May 1995 to October 1995 and from November 1995
through the maturity of the facility will be based on three-month LIBOR plus
.50% and .30%, respectively, for borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage Backed
Securities.  (As discussed below, the borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans
were paid off on January 23, 1995 with proceeds from a new facility with the
GACC).  The rate on the facility as of December 31, 1994, including the
applicable spreads was 6.46% on the borrowings secured by FHA-Insured Loans and

Backed Securities.  The rates in effect on December 31, 1994 were set on October
24, 1994 and reset on January 23, 1995 for three months at 7.075%, including the
spread, for the borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.

     The value of the FHA-Insured Loans and the GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities
pledged as collateral must equal at least 110% and 107%, respectively, of the
amounts borrowed.  No more than 40% of the collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured
Loans and no less than 60% may be GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  CRIIMI MAE
was required to pay commitment fees of three basis points per month on the
unutilized amount through June 1994 and twelve basis points on any remaining
unused amounts as of July 1, 1994.  For the year ended December 31, 1994, CRIIMI
MAE incurred approximately $415,000 in commitment fees related to the $150.0
million facility.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had borrowed approximately $457.0
million of the funds available under the Master Repurchase Agreements primarily
to acquire Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages and to repay a portion of
borrowings under the Commercial Paper Facility, as discussed below.  As of
December 31, 1994, mortgage investments directly owned by CRIIMI MAE, which
approximate $499.1 million at fair value, were used as collateral pursuant to
certain terms of the Master Repurchase Agreements.

     On January 23, 1995, approximately $126 million of borrowings
collateralized with FHA-Insured Loans were paid off, terminating the related FHA
portion of the Master Repurchase Agreements.  Replacement financing was obtained
from GACC through a master repurchase agreement at substantially similar terms,
except as related to collateral requirements, as discussed below.

COMMERCIAL PAPER FACILITY/REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

     In the first quarter of 1994, borrowings under the Commercial Paper
Facility, which matured on February 28, 1994, were replaced with revolving
credit loans.  During the period January 1, 1994 through February 28, 1994, the
maximum amount outstanding on these borrowings was approximately $95.3 million
and the weighted average amount outstanding was approximately $86.4 million.
The weighted average interest rate for the period January 1, 1994 through
February 28, 1994 on these borrowings was 5.3%, including all hedging and
borrowing costs.

     In February 1993, CRIIMI MAE entered into an agreement to replace a $190.0
million letter of credit which provided the credit enhancement for the
Commercial Paper Facility and related revolving credit facility, with two
letters of credit in the amount of $35.0 million and $155.0 million provided by
National Australia Bank, Limited and  Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC),
respectively.  In April 1993, the letter of credit provided by CIBC was reduced
to $105.0 million.  In January 1994,

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


10.  Obligations under Financing Facilities - Continued

the special purpose corporation replaced borrowings under the Commercial Paper
Facility with revolving credit loans.  These revolving credit loans were
originally scheduled to mature on January 28, 1994; however, the maturity date
was extended until February 28, 1994.

     As of February 28, 1994, these borrowings were replaced with a non-
amortizing revolving credit facility, maturing August 28, 1996 (the Revolving
Credit Facility) provided by certain lenders which had participated in the
Commercial Paper Facility.  Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders
agreed to loan CRIIMI MAE an aggregate principal amount of $110 million.
Effective August 5, 1994, an additional $25 million was made available for
borrowing by CRIIMI MAE under this facility.  CRIIMI MAE was required to pay
commitment fees of twenty five basis points per annum on the $25 million
increase to the facility.  As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE incurred
approximately $33,000 of commitment fees related to the $25 million increase in
the facility.

     The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is
based on CRIIMI MAE's choice of (i) the one, two, three or six-month LIBOR plus
an interest rate margin of .50%, .5625%, or .625% depending on the percentage of
GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities pledged as collateral or (ii) a base rate equal
to the higher of either the lender's prime rate or .50% per annum above the
Federal Funds rate, plus an interest rate margin of 0%, .0625%, or .125%
depending on the percentage of GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities held as
collateral.  The rate on substantially all of this facility as of December 31,
1994 was 5.69%, which is  based on 6 month LIBOR and a spread of .50%.  This
rate was set on August 5, 1994 and reset on February 2, 1995 at 6.75%, which is
based on one month LIBOR and a spread of .625%.

     The value of the collateral pledged must equal at least 110% of the amounts
borrowed.  No more than 60% of the collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured Loans
and no less than 40% may be GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities.  As of December 31,
1994, mortgage investments directly owned by CRIIMI MAE, which approximated
$135.3 million at fair value, were used as collateral pursuant to the terms of
the Revolving Credit Facility.

     The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires a minimum Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio, as defined in the amended agreement, of 1.35 to 1.0 for any
fiscal quarter through September 30, 1995 and a minimum of 1.4 to 1.0 for any
fiscal quarter after September 30, 1995.  For the quarter ended December 31,
1994, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was 1.56:1.0.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had used $115 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility primarily to acquire Government Insured Multifamily
Mortgages, other mortgage investments and to repay borrowings under the
aforementioned Commercial Paper Facility.  On January 27, 1995, CRIIMI MAE made

a $50 million payment on the Revolving Credit Facility to effect a permanent,
required reduction in the amount available under the facility.  Replacement
financing in the amount of $50 million was obtained from GACC at terms
substantially similar to those on the Master Repurchase Agreements.

BANK TERM LOAN

     On October 23, 1991, CRIIMI MAE entered into a credit agreement with two
banks for a reducing term loan facility (the Bank Term Loan) in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $85.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions.  In
December 1992, the credit agreement was amended to increase the Bank Term Loan
by $15.0 million.  The Bank Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of
approximately $52.0 million and approximately $30.4 million as of December 31,
1993 and 1994, respectively.  As of December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Bank Term
Loan was secured by the value of 13,874,000 and 13,124,000 CRI Liquidating
shares owned by CRIIMI MAE, respectively, based on a current requirement that
collateral valued at 200% of the outstanding balance secure the loan.  The Bank
Term Loan requires a quarterly principal payment based on the greater of (i) the
return of capital portion of the dividend received by CRIIMI MAE on its CRI
Liquidating shares securing the Bank Term Loan or (ii) an amount to bring the
Bank Term Loan to its scheduled outstanding balance at the end of such quarter.
The current minimum amount of annual principal payments is approximately $15.8
million, with any remaining amounts of the original $85.0 million of principal
due in April 1996 and any remaining amounts of the $15.0 million of increased
principal due in December 1996.

     The Bank Term Loan currently provides for an interest rate of 1.10% over
three-month LIBOR plus an agent fee of 0.05% per year.  As of December 31, 1994,
the interest rate, including the applicable spreads was 7.666%.  The rate will
reset on March 31, 1995.

     CRIIMI MAE is in the process of refinancing the facility with one lender
with more favorable terms including an interest rate based on .75% over CRIIMI
MAE's choice of one, two or three month LIBOR and collateral requirements of
175% of the loan amount.  This refinancing is anticipated to occur
simultaneously with the paydown of approximately $17.4 million which is expected
to be made in March 1995 from the return of capital from Liquidating.

     As a requirement under certain of CRIIMI MAE's other debt facilities,
financings related to repurchase agreements associated with the purchase of
subordinated securities are limited to no more than $50 million without the
approval of the lenders under the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Revolving
Credit Agreement and the GACC master repurchase agreement.

MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH GACC

     On January 23, 1995, CRIIMI MAE entered into a master repurchase agreement
with GACC which provided CRIIMI MAE with $300 million of available financing
through April 1, 1996.  Interest on such borrowings is based on one month LIBOR
plus .75% or .50% depending on whether FHA-Insured Loans or GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities, respectively, are pledged as collateral.  Generally, the value of
the FHA-Insured Loans or GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities pledged as collateral
must equal at least 105% of the amounts outstanding and no more than 60% of the
collateral pledged may be FHA-Insured Loans and no less than 40% may be GNMA
Mortgage-Backed Securities.

     As previously discussed, approximately $176 million was borrowed from this
facility in January 1995 to paydown the portion of the borrowings secured by
FHA-Insured Loans under the Master Repurchase Agreements and to effect a $50
million required, permanent reduction the Revolving Credit Facility.  The
weighted average rate on these borrowings, including applicable spreads, was
6.70%.

10.  Obligations under Financing Facilities - Continued

WORKING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT

     CRIIMI MAE is in the process of finalizing a $10 million working capital
line of credit with Riggs National Bank.  This line of credit will be secured by
shares of CRI Liquidating valued at approximately 175% of any outstanding
borrowings.  At CRIIMI MAE's option, the interest rate will be set on the
outstanding borrowings at one, two or three month LIBOR plus .60%, the daily
federal funds rate plus .80% or prime minus 1.0%.

     Certain of the financial covenants under the line of credit will be
consistent with those of the other debt facilities discussed above.

OTHER DEBT RELATED INFORMATION

     During December 1994, CRIIMI MAE negotiated with its lenders to amend debt
agreements to provide for more flexibility in the restrictive covenants.  Under
all of CRIIMI MAE's existing debt facilities, as amended, except the Other
Repurchase Agreements, CRIIMI MAE's debt to equity ratio, as defined, may not
exceed 3.0:1.0.  As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE's debt-to-equity ratio was
2.51:1.0.  The weighted average cost of CRIIMI MAE's borrowings, including
amortization of deferred financing fees of $5.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994, was approximately 7.01%.

     Certain of the debt agreements require that a minimum level of unencumbered
assets be maintained, the most restrictive of which requires 2% of total
indebtedness be maintained by CRIIMI MAE.  As of January 24, 1995, CRIIMI MAE
had approximately $38 million, at management's estimated fair value, of
unencumbered FHA/GNMA Mortgage Investments.  Additionally, CRIIMI MAE has other
unencumbered assets (which in some cases are subject to certain lender
eligibility requirements) including, but not limited to cash, working capital
lines of credit and unencumbered CRI Liquidating stock.

     Fluctuations in interest rates impact the value of CRIIMI MAE's mortgage
investments as well as the potential returns to shareholders through increased
cost of funds.  Increases in long-term rates could decrease the value of
mortgage investments and, in certain circumstances, require CRIIMI MAE to pledge
additional collateral in connection with its borrowing facilities.  This would
reduce CRIIMI MAE's borrowing capacity and, in certain circumstances, could
force CRIIMI MAE to liquidate a portion of its assets at a loss in order to
comply with certain covenants under its borrowing facilities.

     The Adviser is actively monitoring the levels of unencumbered collateral
and is taking steps to negotiate more favorable collateral requirements with
lenders.  As discussed above, subsequent to year end, CRIIMI MAE executed a
master

10.  Obligations under Financing Facilities - Continued

repurchase agreement with GACC for maximum borrowings of $300 million secured by
FHA-Insured Loans and GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities valued at approximately
105% of the amounts borrowed.  This compares to requirements under the Master
Repurchase Agreements with Nomura of 110% of the value on borrowings secured by
FHA-Insured loans and 105% or 107% on borrowings secured by GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities depending on whether the $350 million facility or the $150 million
facility was used and collateral requirements of 110% of the value on borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility.

     The collateral requirements on the Bank Term Loan are also anticipated to
be reduced when the refinancing is completed after the March 31, 1995 required
principal payment is made  from the return of capital on the shares of CRI
Liquidating stock pledged as collateral under the Bank Term Loan.  The value of
the required collateral is anticipated to be reduced from 200% of the
outstanding borrowings to 175% of the outstanding borrowings.  The Adviser has
also provided for more flexibility through the availability of a $10 million
working capital line of credit, secured by shares of CRI Liquidating stock,
expected to be closed in February 1995.  The Adviser is also exploring financing
alternatives other than secured lending of the type currently in place.

     A reduction in long-term interest rates could have the impact of increasing
the value of CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments, lowering collateral
requirements, and could also increase the level of prepayments on CRIIMI MAE's
mortgage investments.  CRIIMI MAE's yield on mortgage investments will be
reduced to the extent CRIIMI MAE reinvests the proceeds from such prepayments in
new mortgage investments with effective rates which are below the rates of the
prepaid mortgages.  Offsetting this risk is the opportunity to invest the
proceeds from a prepayment into other higher yielding mortgage investments such
as the subordinated securities.

     As previously discussed, the Adviser is actively pursuing a new investment
program in subordinated securities which it believes is, overall, less interest
rate sensitive than existing insured mortgage investments.  The Adviser also
believes that if the proposed merger of CRIIMI MAE with CRI's Mortgage
Businesses is approved (see Note 1), CRIIMI MAE's overall return will be less
interest rate sensitive.

     CRIIMI MAE has sought to enhance the return to its shareholders through the
use of leverage.  Nevertheless, CRIIMI MAE's use of leverage carries with it the
risk that the cost of borrowings could increase without a corresponding increase
in the return on its mortgage investments, which could result in reduced net
income and thereby reduce the return to shareholders.  To partially limit the
adverse effects of rising interest rates, CRIIMI MAE has entered into a series
of interest rate hedging agreements, as discussed in Note 11.  The Adviser

monitors CRIIMI MAE's outstanding borrowings and hedging techniques
in an effort to ensure that CRIIMI MAE is making optimal use of its borrowing
ability based on market conditions and opportunities.

11.  Interest Rate Hedge Agreements

     To partially limit the adverse effects of rising interest rates, CRIIMI MAE

(a)  Approximately $4.5 million and $3.6 million of costs were incurred during
     1993 and 1994, respectively, in connection with the establishment of
     interest rate hedges.  These costs are being amortized using the effective
     interest method over the term of the interest rate hedge agreements for
     financial statement purposes and in accordance with the regulations under
     Internal Revenue Code Section 446 with respect to notional principal
     contracts for tax purposes.
(b)  On May 24, 1993, CRIIMI MAE and the counterparty to the collar, CIBC,
     terminated the floor on this former collar.  In consideration of such
     termination, CRIIMI MAE paid CIBC approximately $2.3 million.  This amount
     was deferred on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the
     underlying debt being hedged is still outstanding.  This amount will be
     amortized for the period from May 24, 1993 through May 26, 1996.  CRIIMI
     MAE amortized approximately $.5 million and $.8 million of this deferred
     amount in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years
     ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.  Additionally, certain
     costs incurred during 1991 in connection with an extinguishment of debt
     which was financed with proceeds from a replacement facility, were deferred
     and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life
     of the replacement facility.  CRIIMI MAE amortized approximately $2.5
     million and $1.6 million of such costs, during 1993 and 1994, respectively.
     As of December 31, 1994, the unamortized balance of such costs was
     approximately $630,000.
(c)  The hedges are based either on the 30-day Commercial Paper Composite Index
     (CP), three-month LIBOR, or one-month LIBOR.
(d)  The notional amount of these hedges amortize based on the expected paydown
     schedule of the Bank Term Loan.  The average notional amount of these
     hedges is expected to be $25,540,441, $3,383,118, $18,959,559 and
     $2,710,633, respectively, during 1995.

(e)  Total payments to the counterparty during 1993 and 1994 amounted to $8.2
     million and $5.0 million, respectively, and were included in interest
     expense in the accompanying consolidated Statements of Income.

INTEREST RATE COLLARS

     Interest rate collars are hedging instruments that provide protection
within a range of interest rates, based on a readily determinable interest rate
index.  When the interest rate index exceeds the cap then the counterparty pays
the difference between the index and the cap to CRIIMI MAE.  Alternatively, if
the interest rate index is below the floor then CRIIMI MAE pays the difference
to the counterparty.

     As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had in place interest rate collars
based on the Federal Reserve 30 day Commercial Paper Composite Rate ("CP Index")
with an aggregate notional amount of $115 million, a weighted average floor of
8.55% and a weighted average cap of 10.37%.  During 1993 and 1994, the CP Index
was below the floor resulting in CRIIMI MAE making payments to the counterparty.
These interest rate collars expire between February 1995 and July 1995.  During
October 1994, the Adviser purchased a three year cap in the notional amount of
$50 million to replace certain of the expiring collars.

INTEREST RATE CAPS

     Interest rate caps provide protection to CRIIMI MAE to the extent interest
rates, based on a readily determinable interest rate index, increase above the
stated interest rate cap.  As of December 31, 1994, CRIIMI MAE had in place
interest rate caps aggregating $594.5 million based on the CP Index and LIBOR.
The caps that are based on the CP Index have an aggregate notional amount of $50
million at December 31, 1994, with a weighted average cap of 8.70%.  The cap
that is based on the one month LIBOR has a notional amount of $35 million and a
cap rate of 6.125%.  Those based on the three month LIBOR, have an aggregate
notional amount of $510 million at December 31, 1994, with a weighted average
cap rate of 6.51%.  At December 31, 1994 the three month LIBOR of 6.5% was at or
exceeded the cap rate on caps with a notional amount of $440 million.  These
caps will reset during the first quarter of 1995 and if rates stay at that level
or increase, CRIIMI MAE will receive payments based on the difference between
three month LIBOR and the cap.  During 1994, the interest rate indices exceeded
the interest rate cap on one cap which reset in December, which had the result
of reducing CRIIMI MAE's overall interest expense by approximately $1,300.

     CRIIMI MAE is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties to the interest rate hedge agreements should interest rates
exceed the caps.  However, the Adviser does not anticipate nonperformance by any
of the counterparties, each of which has long-term debt ratings of A or above by
Standard and Poor's and A3 or above by Moody's.

     Although CRIIMI MAE expects the overall average life of its mortgage
investments to exceed ten years, CRIIMI MAE's hedging

agreements range in initial maturity from 3 to 5 years, principally because of
the high cost of hedging instruments with maturities greater than 5 years.  As
of December 31, 1994, the average remaining term of these hedging agreements is
approximately 2.2 years.  Because CRIIMI MAE's mortgage investments have fixed
interest rates, upon expiration of CRIIMI MAE's collar and cap agreements,
CRIIMI MAE will have interest rate risk to the extent interest rates increase on
its variable rate borrowings unless the hedges are replaced.  The Adviser
continues to review its debt and asset/liability hedging techniques in order to
minimize the impact of interest rate risk.

12.  Issuance of Stock

     In March 1994, CRIIMI MAE completed a public offering of an additional
5,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $11.25 per share
(the Equity Offering).  The net proceeds of the Equity Offering totaled
approximately $52.2 million, which CRIIMI MAE used primarily to acquire
Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages.  The costs of the Equity Offering,
including professional fees, filing fees, printing costs and other items,
approximated $.7 million. Additionally, underwriting fees in an amount which
approximated 6.0% of the gross offering proceeds were incurred.  These costs
were netted against the offering proceeds.

     On June 23, 1994, CRIIMI MAE filed with the SEC a Shelf Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 33-54267) in order to register for
sale Debt Securities, Preferred Shares and Common Shares of CRIIMI MAE to the
public in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million.  CRIIMI MAE may
from time to time offer in one or more series the securities in amounts, at
prices and on terms to be set forth in supplements to the registration
statement.  On November 3, 1994, CRIIMI MAE sold 500,000 shares of common stock,
which were formerly held in treasury, under the shelf registration statement at
an offering price of $8.744 per share.  Net offering proceeds of approximately
$4.3 million were invested in subordinated securities.  On December 30, 1994, in
conjunction with the payment of CRIIMI MAE's fourth quarter dividend, 42,446
shares of common stock were issued under the dividend reinvestment plan at a
price of $6.6885 per share.  Additionally, on January 13, 1995, CRIIMI MAE sold
625,000 shares of common stock under the shelf registration statement at an
offering price of $6.867 per share for net proceeds of approximately $4.2
million.  CRIIMI MAE intends to use the proceeds from this sale of securities to
acquire additional mortgage investments, sponsor and/or participate in
securitized mortgage programs, and to make other investments and acquisitions
relating to CRIIMI MAE's mortgage business.

13.  Acquisition - AIM Funds Interest

     Effective March 1, 1991, CRIIMI MAE entered into a Purchase Agreement dated
as of December 13, 1990 with Integrated and certain of its affiliates, and AIM
Acquisition Corporation to acquire certain of the interests of Integrated and
its affiliates in the AIM Funds sponsored by Integrated.  On September 6, 1991,
CRIIMI, Inc. acquired all of  the general partnership interests in the AIM Funds
for $23,342,591.  In addition, CRIIMI MAE and CRI each invested $1,086,714 for
an aggregate 20% limited partnership interest in a limited partnership which
serves as the adviser to the AIM Funds.  The remaining 80% of the adviser
partnership is owned by parties unrelated to CRIIMI MAE or CRI.  The adviser
partnership entered into subadvisory agreements with an affiliate of CRI under
which such affiliate will perform certain services with respect to the mortgage
portfolios of the AIM Funds. For its investment, CRIIMI, Inc. will receive the
General Partner's share of income, loss and distributions (which ranges among
the AIM Funds from 2.9%-4.9%) from each fund and an affiliate of CRIIMI, Inc.
will receive certain expense reimbursements. CRIIMI MAE is guaranteed an annual
return on its investment in the adviser partnership, through the distributions
it receives indirectly from the adviser partnership and a right of offset
against amounts payable to its Adviser (see Note 3).

14.  Settlement of Litigation

     In connection with the settlement of certain class action litigation
involving CRIIMI MAE and certain of its affiliates, CRIIMI MAE entered into a
settlement agreement, (the Settlement Agreement) which was approved by the Court
on November 18, 1993, providing, among other things, for the issuance of up to
2.5 million warrants, exercisable for 18 months after issuance, to purchase
shares of CRIIMI MAE common stock at an exercise price of $13.17 per share.  The
number of warrants to be issued was dependent on the number of class members who
submitted proof of claim forms by April 15, 1994.  Based on the proofs of claim
submitted as of such date, CRIIMI MAE issued approximately 334,000 warrants
pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.  In April 1994, CRIIMI MAE filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Commission File No. 33-53031) to register up
to 375,000 shares of CRIIMI MAE's common stock, issuable upon the exercise of
the warrants of CRIIMI MAE.

     Based on the Adviser's initial estimate of the number of warrants to be
issued, CRIIMI MAE accrued a total provision of $1.5 million (which included the
uninsured portion of a cash payment of $250,000 made in connection with the
Settlement Agreement) in its consolidated statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 1993.  Because the actual number of warrants issued pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement was significantly lower than the initial estimate, CRIIMI
MAE reduced this provision in June 1994 to approximately $950,000.

14.  Settlement of Litigation - Continued

     The exercise of the warrants will not result in a charge to CRIIMI MAE's
tax basis income.  Further, the Adviser believes that the exercise of the
warrants will not have a material adverse effect on CRIIMI MAE's tax basis
income per share or annualized cash dividends per share because CRIIMI MAE will
invest the proceeds from any exercise of the warrants in accordance with its
investment policy to purchase Government Insured Multifamily Mortgages or other
authorized investments.  However, in the case of a significant decline in the
yield on mortgage investments and a significant decrease in the Net Positive
Spread which CRIIMI MAE could achieve on its borrowings, the exercise of the
warrants may have a dilutive effect on tax basis income per share and cash
dividends per share.  Receipt of the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants
will increase CRIIMI MAE's shareholders' equity.

payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such
Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note evidencing the Loans
held by it, endorsed by such Lender on the schedule attached to such Note or any
continuation thereof; provided that the failure of such Lender to make any such
recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Company to
make a payment when due of any amount owing under such Note.

days and not more than 120 days prior to the Credit Termination Date then in
effect, request that the Lenders extend for an additional twelve-month period
(i) the initial Credit Termination Date in effect hereunder and (ii) if such

effect as a result of such extension.  If the Required Lenders acting in their
sole discretion, by notice to the Administrative Agent on the date (the "Consent
Date") falling 30 days prior to the Credit Termination Date then in effect (or
if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), agree
to such request, then, effective as of the Consent Date, the Credit Termination

extension shall not be effective unless (i) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing on each of the date of the notice requesting
such extension and on the Consent Date (both prior to and after giving effect to
such extension); (ii) each of the representations and warranties of the Company
in


                                      -21-
<PAGE>

Section 7 and in Section 3.1 of the Security Agreement shall be true and
complete on and as of each of the date of such notice and the Consent Date
(prior to giving effect to such extension) with the same force and effect as if
made on and as of each such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is
expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific
date); and (iii) any extension or similar fee and any other condition to which
such extension is subject shall have been paid or complied with by the Company.

          (b)  Written notice setting forth the Lenders which have agreed to
extend the Credit Termination Date shall be delivered by the Administrative
Agent to the Company on the Business day after the Consent Date.  Each Lender
that determines not to extend the Credit Termination Date (together with any
Lender which fails to notify the Administrative Agent by the Consent Date, each
a "Non-Extending Lender") shall notify the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Company) of such fact promptly after such determination.  No
extension of the Credit Termination Date shall be effective unless each Non-
Extending Lender shall have been paid in full by the Company all amounts owing
to such Lender hereunder on or before the Credit Termination Date as then in
effect with respect to such Non-Extending Lender.  The Commitment of such Non-
Extending Lender shall terminate on the Credit Termination Date as then in
effect with respect to such Non-Extending Lender.

          (c)  If the Required Lenders consent to the extension of the Credit
Termination Date for such Lenders, not later than the Credit Termination Date as
then in effect with respect to such Non-Extending Lender, the Company may
replace each Non-Extending Lender with another financial institution (which may
be a Lender) with the approval of the Administrative Agent, which financial
institution shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such
financial institution shall, effective as of such Credit Termination Date,
undertake a Commitment not to exceed the aggregate Commitments of the Non-
Extending Lenders hereunder expiring on such date.  If such financial
institution is a Lender, such Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender's
Commitment hereunder on such date.

          Section 3.  PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

          3.01  REPAYMENT OF LOANS.  The Company hereby promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender the entire outstanding principal
amount of such Lender's Loans, and each Loan shall mature, on the Credit
Termination Date.

          3.02  INTEREST.  The Company hereby promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the
date of such Loan to but


                                      -22-
<PAGE>

excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per
annum:

          (a)  during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base
     Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin (as in
     effect from time to time); and

          (b)  during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, the LIBO Rate
     plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest at the applicable Post-
Default Rate on any principal of any Loan made by such Lender and on any other
amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender
to or for account of such Lender, which shall not be paid in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period from
and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in
full.  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base
Rate Loan, quarterly on the Quarterly Dates, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan,
on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and, if such Interest Period is
six months, on the date which is three months after commencement thereof and
(iii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the
Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal
amount so paid, prepaid or Converted), except that interest payable at the Post-
Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.  Promptly after the
determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein,
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such
interest is payable and to the Company.

          Section 4.  PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; COMPUTATIONS; ETC.

          4.01  PAYMENTS.

          (a)  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of
principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Company under this
Agreement and the Notes, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent

Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, 60 Wall Street, New York, New York
10260 (ABA # 021-000-480), not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time on the date on
which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on
such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day).


                                      -23-
<PAGE>

          (b)  Any Lender for whose account any such payment is to be made, may
(but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is
not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the Company with such
Lender (with notice to the Company).

          (c)  The Company shall, at the time of making each payment under this
Agreement or any Note, specify to the Administrative Agent (which shall so
notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Loans or other amounts payable by
the Company hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event
that it fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such Lender may apply the amount of such payment received by it from
the Administrative Agent in such manner as such Lender may determine to be
appropriate).

          (d)  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement or any Note for account of any Lender shall be paid by the
Administrative Agent promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds,
for account of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office for the Loan or other
obligation in respect of which such payment is made.

          (e)  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note
would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, such date shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for
any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

          4.02  PRO RATA TREATMENT.  Except to the extent otherwise provided
herein:  (a) each borrowing under Section 2.01 shall be made from the Lenders,
each payment of fees under Section 2.04(b) shall be made for account of the
Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments
under Section 2.03(b) shall be applied to the respective relevant Commitments of
the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments;
(b) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other
than Conversions provided for by Section 5.04) shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders according to the amounts of their respective relevant Commitments (in
the case of making of Loans) or Loans (in the case of Conversions and
Continuations of Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Loan of
such Type shall be coterminous; (c) each payment or optional or mandatory
prepayment of principal of Loans by the Company (except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.09(b), 5.07(b) or the last paragraph of Section 9) shall be made for
account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (d) each payment of interest on
Loans by the Company shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to
the respective Lenders.


                                      -24-
<PAGE>

          4.03  COMPUTATIONS.  Interest on LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans with
an interest rate calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which
payable.  The commitment fee and interest on Base Rate Loans with an interest
rate calculated with reference to the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for
which payable.

          4.04  MINIMUM AMOUNTS.  Except for prepayments made pursuant to
Section 2.08(b) or Conversions made pursuant to Section 5.04, each borrowing,
Conversion and prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an amount at least
equal to $5,000,000 or in any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
(borrowings, Conversions or prepayments of or into Loans of different Types or,
in the case of LIBOR Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time
hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, Conversions and prepayments for
purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period).  Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount
of LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount at least
equal to $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and, if any LIBOR Loans would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any
period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period.

          4.05  CERTAIN NOTICES.

          (a)  Notices by the Company to the Administrative Agent of
terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of borrowings, Conversions,
Continuations and optional prepayments of Loans shall be irrevocable and shall
be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00
a.m. New York time (i) two (2) Business Days prior to any termination or
reduction of Commitments, (ii) on the same day as any borrowing or optional
prepayment of or Conversion into a Base Rate Loan and (iii) three (3) Business
Days prior to any borrowing or optional prepayment of, Conversion into or
Continuation as a LIBOR Loan.  Each such notice of borrowing shall be
substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit B and each such notice of
Conversion or Continuation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C.

          (b)  Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the
amount of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced.  Each such notice of
borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment shall specify the
Type of each Loan to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount
(subject to Section 4.04) of each Loan to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or
prepaid (and, in the case of a Conversion, the Type


                                      -25-
<PAGE>

of Loan to result from such Conversion) and the Interest Period of each Loan to
be borrowed, Converted into or Continued as a LIBOR Loan and the date of
borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment (which shall be a
Business Day).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of
the contents of each such notice.  In the event that the Company fails to select
the Type of Loan, or the duration of any Interest Period, for any LIBOR Loan
within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan
(if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically Converted into a Base
Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or
(if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan) will remain as, or (if not then
outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan.

          4.06  NON-RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Company (the
"Payor") prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the
Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be
made by it hereunder or (in the case of the Company) a payment to the
Administrative Agent for account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (such
payment being herein called the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be
effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required
Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption
(but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the
intended recipient(s) on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the
Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment
shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period
commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative
Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day and, if such recipient(s)
shall fail promptly to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with
interest as aforesaid.

          4.07  SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC.

          (a)  The Company agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation
of) any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise
have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by
it for account of the Company at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other
currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender's Loans or
any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due
(regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Company), in which case
it shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof,


                                      -26-
<PAGE>

provided that such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity thereof.

          (b)  If any Lender shall obtain from the Company payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount
under this Agreement or any Note held by it through the exercise of any right of
set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than
from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such
payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal
of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder by the
Company to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lenders of the
principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due by the
Company to such other Lenders, it shall promptly purchase from such other
Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender,
direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to
such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such
amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such
excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in
obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the
unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts,
respectively, owing to each of the Lenders.  To such end all the Lenders shall
make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation
sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

          (c)  The Company agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a
participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's
lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case
may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

          (d)  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any
such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or
obligation of the Company.  If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to
which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable,
exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with
the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the
benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

          Section 5.  YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

           5.01  ADDITIONAL COSTS.

          (a)  The Company shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time
such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate it or
any Applicable Lending Office for any costs incurred by such Lender or
Applicable Lending Office, or any reduction of the rate of return on assets or
equity of such Lender or Applicable Lending Office to a level below that which
such Lender or Applicable Lending Office could have achieved, which such Lender
determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or
its Commitment to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount
receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such
Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being
herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

          (i)  changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such
     Lender under this Agreement or its Notes in respect of any of such Loans
     (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such
     Lender or of its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans by the
     jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such
     Applicable Lending Office); or

         (ii)  imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, capital
     adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirements (other than the
     Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the LIBO Rate for such
     Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
     deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such
     Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" in
     Section 1.01), or any commitment of such Lender (including the Commitments
     of such Lender hereunder); or

        (iii)  imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or such
     Lender's Notes (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or such
     Lender's Commitments.

          (b)  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of paragraph (a) of
this Section 5.01, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any
Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess
above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other
liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a
category of extensions of credit or commitments or other assets of such Lender
which includes LIBOR Loans or such Lender's Commitments or (ii) becomes subject
to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which
it


                                      -28-
<PAGE>

may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Company (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue,
or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of such Type hereunder shall
be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case
the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).

          (c)  Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.01 (but without duplication), the Company shall pay directly to each
Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may determine to
be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, any Applicable
Lending Office or the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary)
for any costs which it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such
Lender (or such Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company),
pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court or governmental or
monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any
risk-based capital guideline or requirement (whether or not having the force of
law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful)
heretofore or hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory
authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord (including,
without limitation, the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A; 12 CFR
Part 225, Appendix A) and the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A)), of capital in
respect of its Commitments or Loans (such compensation to include, without
limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or
equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding
company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending
Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law,
regulation, interpretation, directive or request).  For purposes of this Section
5.01(c), "Basle Accord" shall mean the proposals for risk-based capital
framework described by the Basle Committee on Lending Regulations and
Supervisory Practices in its paper entitled "International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" dated July 1988, as amended, modified
and supplemented and in effect from time to time or any replacement thereof.

          (d)  Each Lender shall notify the Company of any event occurring after
the date of this Agreement that will entitle such Lender to compensation under
paragraph (a) or (c) of this Section 5.01 as promptly as practicable after such
Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof.  Each Lender will furnish to the
Company a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such
Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (c) of this Section 5.01.
Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 5.01
of the effect of any Regulatory


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

Change pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01, or of the effect
of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 5.01, on its
costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or
on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to
compensate such Lender under this Section 5.01, shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

          5.02  LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBO Rate for any
Interest Period:

          (a)  the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be
     conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
     referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" in Section 1.01 are not being
     provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for
     purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided
     herein; or

          (b)  the Required Lenders determine, which determination shall be
     conclusive, and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of
     interest referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" in Section 1.01 upon
     the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest
     Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to
     such Lenders of making or maintaining such Type of Loans for such Interest
     Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Company and each Lender prompt
notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders
shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans of such Type, to Continue
Loans of such Type or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type
and the Company shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s)
for the outstanding Loans of such Type, either prepay such Loans or Convert such
Loans into another Type of Loan in accordance with Section 2.08.

          5.03  ILLEGALITY.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR
Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Company thereof
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender's obligation to make
or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be
suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans
(in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).

          5.04  TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS.  If the obligation of any Lender to
make LIBOR Loans or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans
of a particular Type shall be


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

suspended pursuant to Section 5.01(b) or 5.03 (Loans of such Type being herein
called "Affected Loans" and such Type being herein called the "Affected Type"),
such Lender's Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate
Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Affected
Loans (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Company with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice
as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01(b) or 5.03
which gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

          (a)  to the extent that such Lender's Affected Loans have been so
     Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise
     be applied to such Lender's Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its
     Base Rate Loans; and

          (b)  all Loans which would otherwise be made or Continued by such
     Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made or Continued instead as
     Base Rate Loans and all Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be
     Converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be Converted instead into
     (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Company with a copy to the Administrative
Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01(b) or 5.03 which gave
rise to the Conversion of such Lender's Affected Loans pursuant to this Section
5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans of the Affected Type are
outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on
the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding
Loans of the Affected Type, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Loans of the Affected Type and by
such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest
Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

          5.05  COMPENSATION.  The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the
Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or
expense which such Lender determines is attributable to:

          (a)  any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan made by
     such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the prepayment
     of any Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or 5.07 and the acceleration of
     the Loans pursuant to Section 9) on a date other than the last day of the
     Interest Period for such Loan; or


                                      -31-
<PAGE>

          (b)  any failure by the Company for any reason (including, without
     limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in
     Section 6 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the
     date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given
     pursuant to Section 2.02.

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or
Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment,
prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the
Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date specified
for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided
for herein over (ii) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued
on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of
the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar
deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and
with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such
Lender).

          5.06  TAXES.

          (a)  Any and all payments by the Company hereunder or under the Notes
shall be made, in accordance with Section 4, free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings imposed by the United States of America (or any
political subdivision or tax authority of or in such jurisdiction) and all
liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender and the
Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed
on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political
subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-
excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").  If the Company shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 5.06) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

(iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Laws.

          (b)  In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

          (c)  The Company will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 5.06) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall
be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

          (d)  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in
Section 11.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof.

          (e)  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Company hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Company contained in
this Section 5.06 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder and under the Notes.

          (f)  Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall deliver to the Company
and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the
case may be, certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United
States backup withholding tax.  Each Non-U.S. Lender which delivers a Form 1001
or 4224 and Form W-8 and W-9 pursuant to the next preceding sentence further
undertakes to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, two further
copies of Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms,
or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that
any form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it, and such
extensions or renewals thereof as may


                                      -33-
<PAGE>

reasonably be requested by the Company, certifying in the case of a Form 1001 or
4224 that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,
unless in any such cases an event (including, without limitation, any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent a Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Company that it is not
capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United
States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

          5.07  ADDITIONAL ACTION IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

          (a)  If an event or condition described in Sections 5.01(a) or (c),
5.03 or 5.06(a) has occurred or exists, or, in the case of subsection (i) below,
will occur or exist, but without prejudice to the obligations of the Company
under Sections 5.01 or 5.06, the Lender or Lenders so affected by such event or
condition will, if so requested by the Company, (i) consult with the Company and
the Administrative Agent for up to 30 days from the date of such request with a
view to agreeing to a mutually acceptable alternative arrangement which will
avoid or minimize the payment of such additional amount or avoid such illegality
in the future and which is not prejudicial to that Lender or (ii) make a good
faith effort (which shall not require the Lender to incur any loss) to make
within 30 days, subject to the consent of the Company, an assignment, in
accordance with Section 11.06, of all its rights and delegation of its
obligations under this Agreement, including the Commitments and the Outstanding
Loans to one of its subsidiaries or affiliates or to another Lender or to a
financial institution pursuant to such Section, for the purpose of causing such
event or condition to cease to exist or to reduce the liability of the Company,
so long as such assignment and delegation will not create another such event or
condition specified above under Sections 5.01(a) or (c), 5.03 or 5.06(a), or
cause a condition or event in the subsections specified above which results in
no reduction in the liability of the Company under such Sections.

          (b)  Subject to (a) above, the Company shall have the right to prepay,
if an event or condition described in Sections 5.01(a) or (c), 5.03 or 5.06(a)
has occurred or exists, the Outstanding Loans, if any, and terminate the
Commitments, of the Lender or Lenders so affected by such event or condition,
upon giving the Administrative Agent and such Lender or Lenders at least five
Business Days' prior irrevocable notice thereof specifying the date of
prepayment, if any, and termination.  Any such prepayment hereunder shall be
made by the Company, together with interest thereon and any other amounts
payable hereunder

prepayment), on the date specified in such notice.

          6.02  INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT.  The obligation of
the Lenders to make any Loan to the Company upon the occasion of each borrowing

giving effect thereto:  (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 7 and in
Section 3.1 of the Security Agreement shall be true and complete on and as of
the date of the making of such Loan with the same force and effect as if made on
and as of such date; and (iii) there shall not have occurred any change, or
development or event involving a prospective change, which in the opinion of the
Required Lenders could have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each notice of borrowing
by the Company hereunder shall constitute a certification by the Company to the
effect set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of such notice
and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the
date of such borrowing, as of the date of such borrowing).

          Section 7.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Company represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

          7.01  CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

          (a)  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries:  (i) is a corporation,
partnership or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) has all
requisite corporate or other power, and has all material governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on
its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (iii) is qualified
to do business and in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the nature of
the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where
failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b)  The Company is qualified as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860,
inclusive, of the Code.

          7.02  FINANCIAL CONDITION.  The consolidated balance sheets of the
Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1992 and the
related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and changes in
financial position (or of cash flow, as the case may be) of the Company and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended on said date, with the
opinion thereon (in the case of said consolidated balance sheet and statements)
of Arthur Andersen & Co., and the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the
Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1993 and the
related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and changes in
financial position (or of cash flow, as the case may


                                      -37-
<PAGE>

ended on such date, heretofore furnished and delivered to each of the Lenders,
are complete and correct and fairly present the consolidated financial condition
of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at said dates and the
consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal year and three-month
period ended on said dates (subject, in the case of such financial statements as
of December 31, 1992, to normal year-end audit adjustments), all in accordance
with GAAP.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries had on said dates
any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or
long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable
commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said balance
sheets as at said dates.  Since December 31, 1992, there has been no material
adverse change in the consolidated financial condition, operations, business or
prospects of the Company individually or the Company and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements
as at said date.

          7.03  LITIGATION.  There are no legal or arbitral proceedings, or any
proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, now
pending or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened against the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

          7.04  NO BREACH.  None of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Basic Document, the consummation of the
transactions herein and therein contemplated and compliance with the terms and
provisions hereof and thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or
require any consent (except consents under the Nomura Facilities, which consents
have been obtained) under, the charter or by-laws of the Company, or any
Applicable Law, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound
or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such
agreement or instrument.

          7.05  ACTION.  The Company has all necessary corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement,
the Notes and the other Basic Documents; the execution, delivery and performance
by the Company of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Basic Documents have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part; and this
Agreement and each other Basic Document has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes, and each of the Notes when executed
and delivered for value will constitute, its legal, valid and binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency,


                                      -38-
<PAGE>

reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights and (b) the application of general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law).

          7.06  APPROVALS.  No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no
filings or registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or
agency are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company
of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Basic Documents or for the validity or
enforceability thereof.

          7.07  USE OF LOANS.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business
of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate,
of buying or carrying Margin Stock and no part of the proceeds of any extension
of credit hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock.

          7.08  ERISA.  As of the date on which the initial Loan is made
hereunder and except as disclosed to the Lenders through the Agent in writing
prior to the date on which the initial Loan is made hereunder, the Company and
the ERISA Affiliates have fulfilled their respective obligations under the
minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and
are in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code, and have not incurred any liability to the
PBGC or any Plan or Multiemployer Plan (other than to make contributions in the
ordinary course of business).

          7.09  TAX RETURNS.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed
all tax returns required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes and
assessments payable by it as shown on such returns to have become due other than
taxes, the payment of which is being contested pursuant to Section 8.07.

          7.12  INDEBTEDNESS.  There exists no credit agreement, loan agreement,
indenture, purchase agreement, guarantee or other arrangement providing for or
otherwise relating to any Indebtedness or any extension of credit (or commitment
for any extension of credit) to, or guarantee by, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries the aggregate principal or face amount of which equals or exceeds
(or may equal or exceed) $1,000,000, other than Indebtedness pursuant to this
Agreement, the Existing Interest Rate Hedge Agreements, the Signet Credit
Agreement, the Nomura Facilities and certain intercompany debt of a Subsidiary
to the Company that will be eliminated upon consolidation.

          7.13  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required
under all Environmental Laws, except to the extent failure to have any such
permit, license or authorization would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and
conditions of all such permits, licenses and authorizations, and are also in
compliance with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards,
prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in

statement made or furnished in writing to the Lender by or on behalf of the
Company in connection with any of the Basic Documents or the transactions
contemplated herein, contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits

Lender), at the time it furnishes each set of financial statements pursuant to
paragraph (a) or (b) above, a certificate of a senior financial officer of the

computations necessary to determine whether the Company is in compliance with
each of Sections 8.10, 8.11, 8.12 and, as applicable, 8.13 as of the end of the

Administrative Agent (with a copy for each Lender) notice of all legal or
arbitral proceedings, and of all proceedings by or before any governmental or
regulatory authority or agency, and any material development in respect of such

except proceedings in which there is no reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

preserve and maintain its legal existence and all of its material rights,
privileges, licenses and franchises (provided that nothing in this Section 8.03
shall prohibit any transaction expressly permitted under Section 8.05); comply
with the requirements of all Applicable Laws (including without limitation, all
Environmental Laws), if failure to comply with


                                      -44-
<PAGE>

such requirements would have a Material Adverse Effect; pay and discharge all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed on it or on its
income or profits or on any of its Property prior to the date on which penalties
attach thereto, except for any such tax, assessment, charge or levy the payment
of which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and against
which adequate reserves are being maintained; maintain all of its Properties
used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary
wear and tear excepted; and permit representatives of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, during normal business hours, to examine, copy and make
extracts from its books and records, to inspect its Properties, and to discuss
its business and affairs with its officers, all to the extent reasonably
requested by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be).

          (b)  The Company shall maintain its status as a REIT or maintain its

Subsidiaries to, maintain worker's compensation insurance, liability insurance
and insurance on its properties, assets and business, now owned or hereafter

and amounts, as are consistent with customary practices and standards of
companies engaged in similar businesses.

          8.05  PROHIBITION OF FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES.  The Company will not, nor
will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction of merger
or consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or
suffer any liquidation or dissolution).  The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, convey, sell, lease transfer or otherwise
dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or a substantial
part of its business or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired
(including, without limitation, shares of stock and indebtedness of
Subsidiaries, receivables and leasehold interests) if such conveyance, sale,
lease, transfer or other disposition would have a Material Adverse Effect (and
any conveyance, sale, lease, transfer or other disposition permitted by this
sentence shall be for cash consideration at fair market value).  Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.05, if no Default exists or would
result therefrom:

          (i)  any Subsidiary of the Company may be merged or consolidated with
     or into:  (i) the Company if the Company shall be the continuing or
     surviving corporation or (ii) any other such Subsidiary; provided that if
     any such transaction shall be between a Subsidiary and a Wholly-Owned
     Subsidiary, the Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be the continuing or
     surviving corporation;


                                      -45-

     otherwise) to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company;

        (iii)  the Company or any Subsidiary, may transfer assets to or merge or
     consolidate with any other Person if the Company or such Subsidiary is the
     surviving corporation; and

         (iv)  any Subsidiary of the Company may change its domicile from one
     state in the United States of America to another state in the United States
     of America.

          8.06  CERTAIN NOTICES.  The Company will promptly give the following
notices to the Administrative Agent (with a copy for each of the Lenders):

          (a)  after the Company knows or has reason to believe that any Default
     has occurred, a notice of such Default describing the same in reasonable
     detail and, together with such notice or as soon thereafter as possible, a
     description of the action that the Company has taken and proposes to take
     with respect thereto; and

          (b)  a notice with respect to any (i) event of default  which the
     Company has or should have knowledge under any Eligible Participation or
     (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at any time
     between the obligor of any Eligible Mortgage Investment and any Person,
     which in either case, if not cured or if adversely determined, as the case
     may be, would have a material adverse effect on the insurance or guarantee
     on such Eligible Mortgage Investment.

          8.07  LIMITATION ON LIENS.  The Company will not, nor will it permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien

otherwise convey any right to receive income (including, without limitation,
from the Assigned Collateral), except (i) as provided in the Security Agreement;
(ii) Liens securing any Interest Rate Hedge Agreements permitted hereunder;
PROVIDED, that the aggregate market value of the collateral subject to such
Liens does not exceed $12,000,000 at any time; (iii) Liens imposed by any

are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings if adequate
reserves with respect thereto are maintained on the books of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in accordance with GAAP; (iv) Liens
securing the Nomura Facilities, as in effect on the date hereof; and (v) Liens
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Collateral Pledge Agreement dated

including Liens securing additional loans to be made under such agreement, as
amended; PROVIDED, that the aggregate amount of all loans secured under such
agreement does not exceed $85,000,000.

          8.08  LIMITATION ON INDEBTEDNESS.  The Company will not, nor will it

          8.09  BORROWING BASE.  The Company will not permit (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Loans by any Lender to exceed such Lender's
Available Commitment or (ii) the aggregate Loan Value of U.S. Mortgage-Backed
Securities included in the Assigned Collateral to represent less than 40% of the
aggregate Loan Value of all Qualified Investments included in the Assigned
Collateral.

          8.10  MINIMUM CONSOLIDATED SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY.  The Company will not
permit at any time Consolidated Shareholders' Equity to be less than (i)

should it occur, the lesser of (a) $150,000,000 and (b) $125,000,000 plus the
aggregate proceeds (less fees and expenses) of such equity offering.

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

damages for early termination and security provided) reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent.

          8.14  INVESTMENT POLICY.  The Company shall invest its assets in
accordance with its investment policies and objectives and will use its best
efforts to comply with the requirements applicable to real estate investment
trusts or pass-through entities which are not subject to taxation at the entity
level under the Code.

          8.15  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  The Company will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to (i) comply with all Environmental Laws and obtain and comply
in all material respects with and maintain any and all licenses, approvals,
registrations or permits required by Environmental Laws, except to the extent
that failure to do so would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and (ii) conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and
testing, and all remedial, removal and other actions required under
Environmental Laws and promptly comply in all material respects with all lawful
orders and directives of all governmental authorities respecting Environmental
Laws, except to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and the pendency of such proceedings would not be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.16  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Company will pay, protect, defend,
indemnify and save harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, in their
capacity as such, and each of its officers, directors, shareholders, controlling
persons, employees, counsel and agents from and against all liabilities, losses,
claims, obligations, damages, penalties, causes of action, suits, disbursements,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses) or judgments of any kind or nature arising from the transactions
contemplated by the Basic Documents (and including those arising out of, or in
anyway relating to, the violation or noncompliance with any Environmental Laws);
PROVIDED that the Company will not be liable to the Administrative Agent or a
Lender, in their capacity as such, each of its officers, directors,
shareholders, controlling persons, employees, counsel and agents for such
liabilities, losses, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, suits, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) or judgments
arising from its gross negligence or wilful misconduct or the gross negligence
or wilful misconduct of any of its officers, directors, shareholders,
controlling persons, employees or agents.  If any action, suit or proceeding
arising from any of the foregoing is brought against the Administrative Agent, a
Lender, or any other person indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.16, the
Company will, if within a reasonable time requested in writing to do so and may,
at its option and at its expense, resist and defend such action, suit or
proceeding and employ counsel therefor (which counsel shall be satisfactory to


                                      -48-
<PAGE>

the party requesting indemnification hereunder).  The Company shall not agree to
the settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of the
party requesting indemnification hereunder, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Each Lender or any other person indemnified
pursuant to this Section 8.16 shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless (a) the Company has agreed to pay such fees and
expenses, or (b) the Company shall have failed to assume the defense of such
action, suit or proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party, in any such action, suit or proceeding or (c) the named
parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include the Company and any indemnified party related to the Administrative
Agent or a Lender and any such indemnified party shall have been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the Company or the unrelated
indemnified party (in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the Company
in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party).

          8.17  LINES OF BUSINESS.  The Company will continue, and cause each of
its Subsidiaries to continue, to engage in a business of the same general type
as conducted by it on the date of this Agreement; PROVIDED, that the Company may
establish a Subsidiary, or fund or guaranty affiliates or special purpose
corporations, to engage in other related lines of business if such engagement
would not have a Material Adverse Effect and provided that the Company does not
make contributions (whether by means of equity investments, transfer of assets
or otherwise) of more than 5 percent of total assets of the Company (which
assets should be classified as such on a balance sheet of the Company prepared
in accordance with GAAP) to such entities.

          8.18  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.  Except as expressly permitted by
this Agreement, the Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, directly or indirectly:  (a) transfer, sell, lease, assign or otherwise
dispose of any Property to an Affiliate; (b) merge into or consolidate with or
purchase or acquire Property from an Affiliate; or (c) enter into any other
transaction directly or indirectly with or for the benefit of an Affiliate
(including, without limitation, guarantees and assumptions of obligations of an
Affiliate); provided that (x) any Affiliate who is an individual may serve as a
director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and
receive reasonable compensation for his or her services in such capacity and
(y) the Company and its Subsidiaries may enter into transactions (other


                                      -49-
<PAGE>

than extensions of credit by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to an
Affiliate) providing for the leasing of Property, the rendering or receipt of
services or the purchase or sale of inventory and other Property in the ordinary
course of business if the monetary or business consideration arising therefrom
would be substantially as advantageous to the Company and its Subsidiaries as
the monetary or business consideration which would obtain in a comparable
transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

          8.19  USE OF PROCEEDS; UNENCUMBERED ASSETS.  The Company will use the
proceeds (i) to replace the Letter of Credit facilities previously provided to
CRI Funding Corporation under the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement,
(ii) to finance the purchase and maintenance of Eligible Participations and
Mortgage-Backed Securities, (iii) to fund the Interest Rate Hedge Agreements
permitted hereunder and (iv) to pay the expenses incurred by the Company in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not permit at any time the Value of
Unencumbered Assets to be less than an amount equal to 5% of the Loans
Outstanding at such time.

          8.20  MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS.  The Company shall enforce or cause to be
enforced all provisions of any Eligible Participation, if the failure to enforce
any such provision or provisions (in the aggregate) would have a materially
adverse effect on the value of the Assigned Collateral or permit the mortgagor
under the related Eligible Mortgage Investment to interrupt, suspend or affect
the payments thereunder.

          8.21  SERVICERS AND MORTGAGEES OF RECORD.  The Company shall use
reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer and each mortgagee of record to comply
with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and the terms and provisions of the
relevant Servicing Agreement or Participation Agreement, as the case may be.

          8.22  BOOKS AND RECORDS.  The Company will keep, or cause to be kept,
adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries are to be made
reflecting its business and financial transactions, such entries to be made in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied in the case of financial transactions
or as otherwise required by applicable rules and regulations of any governmental
agency or regulatory authority (federal, state or local) having jurisdiction
over the Company or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          8.23  FURTHER ASSURANCE.  As from time to time reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent or a Lender, at the cost and expense of the Company,
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all such
documents and instruments and do all such other acts and things as may be


                                      -50-
<PAGE>

reasonably required to enable the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
exercise and enforce their respective rights under the Basic Documents and
record and file and rerecord and refile all such documents and instruments, at
such time or times, in such manner and at such place or places, all as may be
necessary to validate, preserve and protect the position of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders under the Basic Documents.  The Administrative Agent may,
and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, upon any extension of this
Agreement, request an opinion of counsel selected by the Company and approved by
the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, with respect to action required to be taken for the protection of the
rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Basic Documents.

following events (herein called "Events of Default"):

          (a)  The Company shall default in the payment (or prepayment) when due

     indenture or other document evidencing or relating to any such Indebtedness

     such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or
     holders) to cause, such Indebtedness to become due, or to be prepaid in
     full (whether by redemption, purchase, offer to purchase or otherwise),
     prior to its stated maturity or to have the interest rate thereon reset to
     a level so that securities evidencing such Indebtedness trade at the level
     specified in relation to the par value thereof; or

          (c)  Any representation or warranty made or deemed made herein, in the
     Security Agreement or in any other Basic Document (or in any modification
     or supplement hereto or thereto) by the Company, or in any certificate,

protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Company; PROVIDED, that, if such event constitutes a Major Default
and the Required Lenders shall fail to give such direction within ten Business
Days after the occurrence thereof, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the
direction of any Lender (an "Electing Lender"), at the same or different times,
by notice to the Company and all the Lenders, terminate such Electing Lender's
Commitment and/or declare the principal amount then Outstanding of, and accrued
interest on, the Loans of such Electing Lender and all other amounts payable to
such Electing Lender by the Company hereunder and under the Notes held by such
Electing Lender (including, without limitation, any amounts payable under

Agent to give a Termination Notice.

          Section 10.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

          10.01  APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES.  Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent
hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent (which term as used in
this sentence and in Section 10.05 and the first sentence of Section 10.06 shall
include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates' officers,
directors, employees and agents):  (a) shall have no duties or


                                      -54-
<PAGE>

responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall
not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Lender; (b) shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this
Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by the Company or any
other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;
(c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection
proceedings hereunder; and (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument
referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent may employ
agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder
thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent, together
with the consent of the Company to such assignment or transfer.

          10.02  RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication
(including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel,
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.
For purposes of providing a certificate or statement as to amounts owing to a
Lender as provided in Section 4.3(c) of the Security Agreement, each Lender
shall provide a certificate or other statement to the Administrative Agent
setting forth such amounts and the Administrative Agent may exclusively rely on
such certificate or statement.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with
instructions given by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of such
Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
on all of the Lenders.

          10.03  DEFAULTS.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment
of principal of or interest on Loans or of commitment fees) unless the
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company specifying
such Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default".  In the
event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice


                                      -55-
<PAGE>

of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each
such non-payment).  The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.07 of
this Agreement and Section 6.1(e) of the Security Agreement) take such action
with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders,
PROVIDED, that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received
such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders except to
the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or
not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required
Lenders, or all of the Lenders.

          10.04  RIGHTS AS A LENDER.  CIBC, (and any successor acting as
Administrative Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor
to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of banking, trust or other business with the Company (and any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative
Agent, and CIBC, and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from
the Company for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.

          10.05  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Lenders agree to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under
Section 11.03, but without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section
11.03) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including
by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation or any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby (including,
without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company is obligated to pay
under Section 11.03 but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is
continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance
of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of
the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party to be indemnified.


                                      -56-
<PAGE>

          10.06  NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.  Each
Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that
it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or
observance by the Company of this Agreement or any other document referred to or
provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and
information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (or any of their affiliates) which may come into the possession
of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.

          10.07  FAILURE TO ACT.  Except for action expressly required of the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be
fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive
further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification
obligations under Section 10.05 against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

          10.08  RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof
to the Lenders and the Company, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at
any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders.  Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of
notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring
Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank
which has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of
at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers,


                                      -57-
<PAGE>

privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder.  After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

          Section 11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          11.01  WAIVER.  No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Note preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.

          11.02  NOTICES.  Except where telephonic (which shall be confirmed in

          11.05  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns.

          11.06  ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

          (a)  The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or
under the Notes or under any other Basic Document without the prior consent of
all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.


                                      -60-
<PAGE>

          (b)  Each Lender may assign in whole or in part any of its Commitments
(but only with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, which
consent of the Company will not be unreasonably withheld), its Loans and its
Notes; provided that, (i) no such consent by the Company or the Administrative
Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by a Lender to any of its
affiliates or to another Lender; (ii) any such partial assignment shall be in an
amount at least equal to $10,000,000; (iii) each such assignment by a Lender of
its Loans, Note, or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same
portion of its Loans, Note, and Commitment is assigned to the respective
assignee.  Upon execution and delivery by the assignor and the assignee to the
Company and the Administrative Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit I pursuant to which such assignee agrees to
become a "Lender" hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment(s)
and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by the Company
and the Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall
have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided in such
assignment with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent), the
obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment(s)
and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment(s)
and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender
shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment(s) (or
portion(s) thereof) so assigned.  Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender
shall pay the Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $2,500.

          (c)  A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons a
participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitments,
in which event each purchaser of a participation (a "Participant"), except as
otherwise provided in Section 4.07(c), shall not have any rights or benefits
under this Agreement or any Note (the Participant's rights against such Lender
in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements
executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant).  All amounts payable by
the Company to any Lender under Section 5 in respect of Loans held by it, and
its Commitments, shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to
sell any participations in such Loans and Commitments, and as if such Lender
were funding each of such Loan and Commitments in the same way that it is
funding the portion of such Loan and Commitments in which no participations have
been sold.  In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the
Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder except that such
Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of
the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term, or extend the time or
waive any requirement for the reduction or termination, of such Lender's related
Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or
interest on the


                                      -61-
<PAGE>

related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the
Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv)
reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder
payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant
is entitled to receive such interest or fee, or (v) release Assigned Collateral.

          (d)  Anything in this Section 11.06 to the contrary notwithstanding,
any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes
to any Federal Reserve Lender as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular
issued by such Federal Reserve Lender.  No such assignment shall release the
assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

         (e)   A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to
assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

          11.07  SURVIVAL.  The obligations of the Company under Sections 5.01,
5.05, 5.06 and 11.03 and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.05
shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments.
In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a
notice of any extension of credit, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the
making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to
have waived, by reason of making any extension of credit hereunder, any Default
which may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have
been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender or the Administrative
Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such
representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such extension of
credit was made.

          11.08  CAPTIONS.  The table of contents and captions and section
headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and
are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this
Agreement.

          11.09  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart.

          11.10  GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  This Agreement and
the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the
State of New York.  The Company hereby submits 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 City for the


                                      -62-

purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company 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.

          11.11  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

          11.12  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, the Notes and the other
Basic Documents embody the entire agreement among the Company, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter hereof and

Mr. Jay Cohen
CRIIMI Mae, Inc.
The CRI Building
11200 Rockville Pike
Rockville, MD 20852

Dear Mr. Cohen:

     Reference is made to (i) the Committed Master Repurchase Agreement dated as
of April 30, 1993 by and among Nomura Securities International, Inc. ("NSI") and
CRI Insured Mortgage Association, Inc. (now known as CRIIMI MAE, INC.) the
"April NSI Repurchase Agreement"); (ii) the Commitment Master Repurchase
Agreement Governing Purchases And Sales of Participation Certificates dated as
of April 30, 1993 by and among Nomura Asset Capital Corporation ("NACC" and
together with NSI, "Nomura") and CRI Insured Mortgage Association, Inc. (now
known as CRIIMI MAE, INC.) (the "April NACC Repurchase Agreement" and together
with the April NSI Repurchase Agreement, the "April Repurchase Agreements");
(iii) the Committed Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of November 30, 1993 by
and among NSI and CRIIMI MAE INC. ("Criimi Mae") (the October NSI Repurchase
Agreement"); and (iv) the Commitment Master Repurchase Agreement Governing
Purchases And Sales of Participation Certificates dated as of November 30, 1993
by and among NACC and Criimi Mae (the "October NACC Repurchase Agreement" and
together with the October NSI Repurchase Agreement, the "October Repurchase
Agreements" and together with the April Repurchase Agreements, the "Repurchase
Agreements").  Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set
forth in the Repurchase Agreements.

     Criimi Mae has requested that Nomura amend the Repurchase Agreements to
provide Criimi Mae certain relief as set forth in Cynthia Azzara's letter to
William Rooney dated November 28, 1994.  Upon the satisfaction of certain
conditions as set forth herein, Nomura will consent to the following amendment
to the Repurchase Agreements:

1.   Section 10(b)(v) of each of the Repurchase Agreements shall be deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following:

     "UNENCUMBERED ASSETS.  Seller shall maintain cash, cash equivalents
     (including lines of credit deemed satisfactory in the sole judgment of
     Buyer) and other assets (including the unencumbered common stock of CRI
     Liquidating REIT, Inc. owned and held by Seller but excluding any hedge




<PAGE>

     contracts owned by Seller) deemed satisfactory in the sole judgment of
     Buyer (the loan value of which shall be determined in the sole judgment of
     Buyer) equal to at least 2% of the total indebtedness of the Seller."

2.   Section 13(a)(xiv) of each of the Repurchase Agreements shall be deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following:

     "Subject to Section 13(a)(xv), Seller's ratio of consolidated total
     liabilities (excluding payables in the normal course of business) to
     consolidated shareholders equity (both computed in accordance with GAAP)
     exceeds 3.0 to 1 (the "GAAP Ratio"); or such leverage ratio, as
     recalculated by Buyer by subtracting or adding unrealized losses or gains
     as determined in accordance with SFAS 115 and by adding or subtracting
     unrealized gains or losses from any hedge contracts owned by Seller,
     exceeds the calculated GAAP Ratio by a factor of 1, provided that such
     recalculation is compared to the GAAP Ratio as calculated as of the
     previous quarter end."

3.   Section 13(a)(xv) of each of the Repurchase Agreements shall be deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following:

     "Seller pledges, directly or indirectly, hypothecates or encumbers any of
     its assets or engages in repurchase transactions or similar transactions
     with any of its assets (excluding (i) assets already pledged under existing
     facilities, (ii) any assets required to be pledged for purposes of
     collateral maintenance under such facilities and (iii) subordinated debt
     securities subject to master repurchase agreements with financial
     institutions, provided that the aggregate indebtedness pursuant to such
     repurchase agreements shall not exceed $50,000,000, and provided that the
     pledge of any other assets of Seller pursuant to such repurchase agreements
     shall not cause an Event of Default hereunder, and provided further that
     any equity that the Seller retains in any such repurchase transaction shall
     not be included in the calculations set forth in Section 13(a)(xiv) above)
     before notification to and written approval by Buyer, which approval shall
     not be unreasonably withheld."

4.   Each of the April NACC Repurchase Agreement and the October NACC Repurchase
Agreement shall be amended by adding the following new Section 12(g):

     "Seller shall use its best efforts to assist Buyer in causing the
     registration of each Purchased PC purchased by Buyer and pledged by Seller
     under this Agreement in the name of Nomura Asset Capital Corporation.  So
     long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing hereunder, Buyer
     shall instruct each servicer (i) that Seller shall retain all servicing-
     related authority and (ii) to remit payments of principal and interest to
     Seller at the account so directed by Seller.  Actual costs associated with
     the registration of the Purchased PC's shall be borne by Buyer, provided
     that Seller shall be responsible for any legal costs incurred by it in
     connection therewith.  If Seller fails to use its best efforts and the
     Purchased PC's are not registered in the name of Nomura Asset Capital
     Corporation prior to December 21, 1994, an Event of Default shall be deemed
     to have occurred under the Repurchase Agreements."

5.   Except as amended herein, all other terms and conditions of the Repurchase
Agreements shall remain in full force and effect.

     As a condition precedent to Nomura consenting to the amendments set forth
above, Criimi Mae shall execute the Master Collateral Security and Netting
Agreement sent to you herewith.  Upon the due



<PAGE>

and valid execution of such agreement and this letter agreement by the parties
hereto, the amendments set forth herein shall be in full force and effect.
Please indicate Criimi Mae's acceptance of the amendments and conditions
described herein by causing a duly authorized officer to execute at the place
indicated below.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   Nomura Securities International, Inc.

                               Exhibit 4(v)

<PAGE>


                MASTER COLLATERAL SECURITY AND NETTING AGREEMENT

          MASTER COLLATERAL SECURITY AND NETTING AGREEMENT, dated as of December
12, 1994, between Nomura Securities International, Inc. ("NSI") and Nomura Asset
Capital Corporation (individually an "NSI Company" and collectively "NSI
Companies") on the one hand, and CRIIMI MAE Inc. (formerly known as CRI Mortgage
Insured Association, Inc.) (together, "Counterparty"), on the other hand. All of
the NSI Companies together are also referred to herein as the "NSI Group".

          WHEREAS, in order to induce each NSI Company and Counterparty to enter
into future transactions and agreements and maintain existing transactions and
agreements with each other including, without limitation, extensions of credit,
purchases and sales of securities and whole loans, repurchase and reverse
repurchase transactions of securities and whole loans, securities loans and
borrows, dollar rolls, interest rate and currency exchange transactions
(including, but not limited to, swaps, caps and floors), futures and options on
futures transactions, secured loan transactions, certificates of deposit,
underwriting agreements and agreements for advisory services (collectively
"Transactions"), Counterparty and each NSI Company desire to enter into this
Master Collateral Security and Netting Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, Counterparty and each NSI Company agree as follows:

          1.   Counterparty hereby grants to each member of the NSI Group a
continuing security interest in and first lien on




<PAGE>

all of its respective securities, notes, mortgages, instruments, financial
assets, monies or other property and all distributions thereon and proceeds
thereof, whenever the same is held or carried by or for such member by a member
of the NSI Group or any of such member's agents (collectively the "Collateral")
or pledged, lent or sold in a Transaction by Counterparty to any member of the
NSI Group. The Collateral secures the payment and performance of any and all
obligations and liabilities of Counterparty to each member of the NSI Group now
or hereafter existing (including without limitation obligations and liabilities
under Transactions) whether matured, unmatured, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed
or contingent (together with interest at the rate provided under any agreement
evidencing the same (or if not so provided at a commercially reasonable rate)
collectively the "Secured Obligations").

          2.   In the event (collectively an "Event of Default")

               (i)  Counterparty (or any receiver, trustee, conservator,
liquidator, legal custodian or similar official appointed for such party or any
of its property) defaults under, or breaches, disaffirms or repudiates, any
agreement or any Transaction with a member of the NSI Group;

               (ii)  Counterparty becomes insolvent or a debtor under any
 bankruptcy, reorganization or similar law or regulations; or

               (iii)  a receiver, trustee, conservator, liquidator, legal
custodian or similar official is appointed for Counterparty or any of its
property




<PAGE>

then each member of the NSI Group shall have, in addition to the rights and
remedies of a secured creditor under the New York Uniform Commercial Code then
in effect and such other rights and remedies as may be provided by law,
regulation or agreement (in all cases without notice to Counterparty) to

               (i)  accelerate the maturity of any obligation or liability of
Counterparty in connection with any such Transaction and to immediately cancel,
liquidate or terminate any Transaction and any related agreement between any
such member and any member of the NSI Group,

               (ii) sell, at private or public sale, any Collateral and to apply
the proceeds thereof against any Secured Obligations of Counterparty, or retain
and apply any Collateral in satisfaction of any such Secured Obligations, and

               (iii) offset, net and recoup (a) securities, notes, mortgages,
monies, or other property due from any member of Counterparty to any member of
the NSI Group, (b) any claims by Counterparty against any member of the NSI
Group and any obligations or liabilities of any member of the NSI Group to
Counterparty, or (c) any obligations or liabilities of Counterparty to any
member of the NSI Group (including, without limitation, in connection with
Transactions) against any Secured Obligation of Counterparty.

          3.   Each of the parties hereto acknowledge that (i) the parties have
or may have entered into and may continue to enter into many repurchase and
reverse repurchase transactions, securities loans and borrow, dollar rolls and
purchase and sales of U.S.



<PAGE>

government or agency securities and whole loans "Capital Markets Transactions")
which have identical termination, repurchase, maturity or settlement dates or
have been and will be effected on an open or overnight basis and (ii) all
Capital Markets. Transactions have been and will be entered into, among other
things, in consideration of each other. In this regard, with respect to Capital
Markets Transactions having identical maturity, termination, repurchase and
settlement dates or effected on an open or overnight basis, at such times as the
parties may mutually agree upon, any member of the NSI Group may aggregate,
set-off and net any Collateral, or the value thereof, required to be delivered
by Counterparty on the relevant maturity, termination, repurchase and settlement
date or date upon which any Capital Markets Transaction effected on an overnight
basis or open basis is settled or terminated, as the case may be. Thereupon, the
only delivery obligation of any of the parties in connection with such Capital
Markets Transactions will be for the parties to deliver such Collateral or a net
cash payment, as the case may be, as may be required after giving effect to such
aggregation, netting and set-off. The method by which the parties hereto will
value such Collateral for such netting and set-off purposes will be determined
by the NSI Companies in the commercially reasonable exercise of their
discretion. It is further agreed that with respect to Capital Markets
Transactions having identical maturity, termination, settlement and repurchase
dates or effected on an open or overnight basis, any member of the NSI Group
may, at such times as the parties may mutually agree upon, aggregate,



<PAGE>

set-off and net cash required to be paid by any member of the NSI Group to
Counterparty in connection with any such Capital Markets Transaction, on such
maturity, termination, settlement or repurchase date, as the case may be, or, in
connection with Capital Markets Transactions effected on an overnight or open
basis, the date upon which any such Capital Markets Transaction is terminated or
settled. Thereupon, with the exception of amounts payable in connection with
defaults or events of default, the only payment obligation of the parties to
each other in connection with any such Capital Markets Transaction will be for
the parties to pay such amount as may be required after giving effect to such
aggregation, netting and set-off. Upon making such net payment and/or delivery,
as the case may be, and provided that the Collateral subject to such Capital
Markets Transaction has been returned properly to the appropriate party
respectively and that all other obligations of the parties hereto have been
satisfied, each of the parties agrees to reflect on its books and records that
such netted Capital Markets transactions have been discharged fully.

          4.   THIS COLLATERAL SECURITY AND NETTING AGREEMENT AND EACH AND EVERY
OTHER AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND IN THE EVENT
THAT ANY LAWSUIT IS COMMENCED RELATING TO THIS COLLATERAL SECURITY AND NETTING
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR TRANSACTION THE PARTIES AGREE TO SUBMIT TO
THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITUATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW
YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN


<PAGE>

CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTE.

          5.   The rights and remedies granted hereby to the parties are in
addition to any rights and remedies, and supersede any limitations on such
rights and remedies that are inconsistent herewith, that they may have under any
existing or future agreements with the other party unless, in the case of any
future agreements, any inconsistent provision therein is stated explicitly to
supersede this Master Collateral Security and Netting Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as a
requirement that a party cause Collateral held on account of a particular
Transaction to be attributed (in whole or in part) to any other Transaction in
determining whether that party is entitled to make a demand or call upon the
other party for additional securities, monies or other property under any such
other Transaction.

          6.   This Master Collateral Security and Netting Agreement may not be
amended or modified except in a written instrument executed by NSI and
Counterparty. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Master
Collateral Security and Netting Agreement and under any transaction or agreement
(including any Transaction between the parties) may not be assigned without the
prior written consent of the other party and any purported assignment without

Re:  Letter Agreement by and among Nomura Securities International, Inc., Nomura
     Asset Capital Corporation, and CRIIMI MAE Inc. dated as of December 12,
     1994

Dear Mr. Cohen:

Pursuant to our conversation on December 19, 1994, you have requested Nomura
Securities International, Inc. (NSI) and Nomura Asset Capital Corporation (NACC)
to consent to CRIIMI MAE's execution of the $10,000,000.00 line of credit with
Riggs National Bank (as described in the enclosed term sheet dated December 15,
1994).

Based on the terms and conditions within the term sheet and your stated
intention to use funds from the working capital line only on a short term basis
(not for long-term investments), NSI and NACC hereby consent to CRIIMI MAE's
execution of and borrowings from this line of credit.  NSI and NACC will review
the use of this line of credit on a quarterly basis to ensure the aforementioned
conditions have been adhered to.  We reserve the right to withdraw our consent
if after our review we find that these conditions have not been met.  We also
agree to grant CRIIMI MAE a 30 day grace period to terminate the line of credit
with Riggs in the event we withdraw our consent.

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

/s/ William T. Rooney

<PAGE>

                                    AMENDMENT


          This amendment is dated as January 19, 1995. Reference is made to (i)
the Commitment Letter dated as of April 30, 1993 (the "April Commitment Letter")
by and among Nomura Securities International, Inc. ("NSI"), Nomura Asset Capital
Corporation ("NACC") and CRI Insured Mortgage Association, Inc. (now known as
CRIIMI MAE INC.) ("Criimi Mae") and (ii) the Commitment Letter dated as of
October 27, 1993 (the "October Commitment Letter" and together with the April
Commitment Letter, the "Commitment Letters") by and among NSI, NACC, and Criimi
Mae and (iii) each of the Committed Master Repurchase Agreements subject to the
Commitment Letters. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Commitment Letters.

          1.   In order to provide for the immediate repurchase of the Purchased
PC's (as defined in the FHA Facilities) under the respective FHA Facilities, the
commitment of Criimi Mae to sell FHA Mortgage Loans to NACC and NACC's
commitment to Criimi Mae to purchase FHA Mortgage Loans shall cease upon the
repurchase thereof. Criimi Mae shall take all necessary action to promptly
repurchase the Purchased PC's for United States Dollars; provided, however, that
NACC shall have no obligation to release the Purchased PC's until all amounts
due under the FHA Facilities are received directly by NACC, and NACC determines
that no margin deficit exists under the Facilities. Thereafter, NACC shall
release the Purchased PC's with the assignment and assumption form completed by
the participant thereof with assignee in blank and all other related documents
thereto. If all amounts due NACC under the FHA Facilities are not paid in full
by January 24, 1995, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under
the FHA Facility, and NACC may exercise its rights under the Facility Agreements
without further notice to Criimi Mae.

          2.   The definition of "Minimum Balance" in the April Commitment
Letter shall be amended to mean the outstanding Repurchase Price of the
Purchased Securities (as defined in the GNMA Facility) on January 20, 1995. The
definition of "Minimum Balance" in the October Commitment Letter shall be
amended to mean the outstanding Repurchase Price of the Purchased Securities on
January 20, 1995.

          3. With respect to this amendment only, NACC and NSI each agree to
waive any breakage fees it could have imposed for the early termination of the
FHA Facility.

          4.   With respect to Section 4(a) of each of Committed Master
Repurchase Agreements subject to the Commitment Letters, only securities
marginable in NSI shall be "reasonably acceptable" to Buyer thereunder.

          5.   Section 13(a)(xv) of each of the Committed Repurchase Agreements
shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with

<PAGE>

 the following:

     "Seller pledges, directly or indirectly, hypothecates or encumbers any
of its assets or engages in repurchase transactions or similar transactions
with any of its assets (excluding (i) assets already pledged under existing
facilities, (ii) any assets required to be pledged for purposes of
collateral maintenance under such facilities, (iii) subordinated debt
securities subject to master repurchase agreements with financial
institutions, and (iv) Participation Certificates representing 100%
interests in FHA-insured Mortgage Loans purchased by German American
Capital Corporation, provided that the aggregate indebtedness pursuant to
(iii) above shall not exceed $50,000,000, and provided that the pledge of
any other assets of Seller pursuant to (iii) or (iv) above shall not cause
an Event of Default hereunder, and provided further that any equity that
the Seller retains in any transaction set forth in (iii) above shall not be
included in the calculations set forth in Section 13(a)(xiv) above), before
notification to and written approval by Buyer, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld."

          6.   As a condition precedent to the execution of the amendment,
Criimi Mae shall provide NACC a written commitment of a purchaser of the
Purchased PC's in form and substance acceptable to NACC, which commitment shall
provide for settlement of the FHA Mortgage Loans no later than January 24, 1995
in immediately available funds in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price
with respect to such Purchased PC's.

          7.   Except as amended herein, all other terms and conditions of the
Commitment Letters and the Facility Agreements shall remain in full force and
effect.

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto execute this amendment to
the Commitment Letters.

     Re:  Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
          --------------------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
December 22, 1992, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated April 29,
1993 and the Second Amendment thereto dated June 30, 1993 (the "Credit
Agreement") among CRIIMI MAE Inc. (the "Borrower"), the Banks listed on the
signature pages thereto (the "Banks") and Signet Bank/Virginia, as Agent (the
"Agent").  Except as otherwise provided, capitalized terms used herein and not
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     The Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended as
hereinafter provided to permit the Borrower to incur certain Debt under credit
facilities from Nomura Securities International Inc. and Nomura Asset Capital
Corporation on substantially the terms and conditions specified in letters dated
March 3, April 15 and May 11, 1993 from the Borrower to the Agent, copies of
which are attached as Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the "Nomura Credit
Facilities").  The Banks and the Agent are willing to agree to such requests,
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

     Accordingly, upon the acceptance of this Third Amendment by the Banks and
the Agent in the space provided for that purpose below, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

     1.   AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  Subsection 5.05 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

               SECTION 5.05  INCURRENCE OF DEBT.

                    (a)  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its
     Subsidiaries to, issue, assume, guarantee, incur or otherwise be or become
     liable in respect of Debt, if, after the incurrence of such Debt, there
     would exist the reasonable possibility of a material adverse effect on the
     business financial position or results of operations of the Borrower and
     its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or on

<PAGE>

     the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan
     Documents, other than:

               (i)   Debt of the Borrower to the Banks under the Loan Documents;

               (ii)  Debt of the Borrower under the Interest Rate Protection
          Agreements;

               (iii)  (A) Debt of the Borrower under the Guaranty dated November
          28, 1989 related to the Debt of CRI Funding Corporation under the CIBC
          Credit Agreement, (B) Debt of the Borrower under the Nomura Credit
          Facilities, as defined in the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated
          Credit Agreement dated as of September 14, 1993 among the Borrower,
          the Banks and the Agent and (C) other Debt of the Borrower on terms
          and conditions similar to those applicable to the Debt described in
          clauses (A) and (B) of this subsection; provided, that the aggregate
          amount of all such Debt permitted under this subsection (a)(iii) shall
          at no time exceed $490,000,000;

               (iv) Debt of the Borrower in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000
          incurred in connection with a working capital line of credit, which
          shall not be required to be subordinated to Debt to the Banks under
          the Loan Documents;

               (v)  Debt of the Borrower in an amount which  does not exceed the
          Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower,  subject to
          restrictions reasonably satisfactory to the Banks that the holders of
          any such Debt shall not exercise any right or remedy in connection
          therewith before the date that is one year after the Termination Date;

               (vi) accrued dividends not otherwise prohibited under the Loan
          Documents;

               (vii)  accounts payable and accrued expenses incurred in the
          ordinary course of business with maturities not exceeding one year;
          and

               (viii)  other Debt expressly approved by the Required Banks,
          which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                    (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision
     contained herein, the Borrower will not permit the ratio of (i) Debt of
     the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, other than accounts payable
     and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business with
     maturities not exceeding one year, to (ii) consolidated


<PAGE>

     stockholders' equity of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, to
     exceed 2.5 to 1.

     2.   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

          (a)  The Borrower represents and warrants that, (i) all
     representations and warranties made in or in connection with the Credit
     Agreement, this Third Amendment and each other Loan Document are true,
     correct and complete on and as of the date hereof and (ii) no event which
     would constitute a Default under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby,
     or any other Loan Document has occurred and is continuing.

          (b)  The Borrower shall deliver to each Bank true and correct copies
     of all documents governing the Nomura Credit Facilities promptly upon their
     execution and delivery by the Borrower.

     3.   CONDITIONS OF AMENDMENT.  The agreement of the Banks and the Agent set
forth in Paragraph 1 of this Third Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions precedent:

          (a)  The Banks and the Agent shall have received the following, all of
     which must be satisfactory in form and substance to the Banks and the
     Agent, in their discretion:

          i.        this Third Amendment, duly executed by the Borrower, the
                    Banks and the Agent; and

          ii.       any additional agreements, opinions, certifications,
                    instruments and other documents relating hereto, to the
                    Nomura Credit Facilities or to the Credit Agreement that any
                    Bank or the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or
                    desirable.

          (b)  All representations and warranties made in or in connection with
     the Credit Agreement, this Third Amendment and each other Loan Document,
     shall be true, correct and complete on and as of the date hereof.

          (c)  No Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     4.   NO CLAIMS OR DEFENSES.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its
obligations under the Loan Documents are its valid obligations and, as of the
date hereof, there are no claims, setoffs or defenses to the payment or
performance by the Borrower of such obligations, and that the Banks and the
Agent may enforce the payment and performance of such obligations as set forth
in the Loan Documents.

     5.   COUNTERPART EXECUTION.  This Third Amendment may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an

original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon
the same instrument.

     6.   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS THIRD AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.

     4.   REFERENCES TO CREDIT AGREEMENT.  Except as herein specifically
amended, the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in

<PAGE>



                       ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT


     AGREEMENT dated as of September 17, 1993 among WESTPAC BANKING CORPORATION
(the "Assignor"), ASLK-CGER BANK, GRAND CAYMAN BRANCH (the "Assignee"), CRIIMI
MAE INC. (the "Borrower") and SIGNET BANK/VIRGINIA, as Agent (the "Agent").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Agreement") relates
to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 22, 1992 among
the Borrower, the Assignor and the other Banks party thereto, as Banks, and the
Agent (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, as provided under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor made A Loans
to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to $25,744,341.19 and B
Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to $6,562,500; and

     WHEREAS, the assignor has heretofore assigned to Signet Bank/Virginia
$4,000,000 of its A Loans and all of its B Loans; and

     WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights
of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in respect of its remaining A Loans
in an amount equal to $21,744,341.19 (the "Assigned Amount"), and the Assignee
proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding
obligations from the Assignor on such terms;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1.  DEFINITIONS.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 2.  ASSIGNMENT.  The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the
Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the
Pledge Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby
accepts such assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of
the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement to the extent
of the Assigned Amount, including the purchase from the Assignor of the
corresponding portion of the principal amount of the A Loans made by the
Assignor outstanding at the date hereof.  Upon the execution and delivery hereof
by the Assignor, the Assignee, the Borrower and the Agent and the payment of the
amounts specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the
Assignee shall, as of the date hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to
perform the obligations of a Bank under the Credit Agreement and



<PAGE>

the Pledge Agreement and (ii) the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be
released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement.  The assignment provided for herein shall be without recourse to the
Assignor.  To the extent that any provision of the Credit Agreement (such as
Section 7.06) measures the obligations of a Bank by reference to its Commitment,
the Assignee shall be deemed to have an A Loan Commitment of $35,631,630 and
Signet Bank/Virginia shall be deemed to have an A Loan Commitment of $49,368,370
and a B Loan Commitment of $15,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties hereto acknowledge that the Banks' obligations to make Loans have
expired.

     SECTION 3.  PAYMENTS.  As consideration for the assignment and sale
contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the
date hereof in Federal funds an amount equal to $21,744,341.19.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, all interest accrued on the Assigned Amount to
the date hereof shall be for the account of the Assignor, and all interest
accruing from and after the date hereof shall be for the account of the
Assignee.  Each of the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agrees that if it
receives any amount under the Credit Agreement which is for the account of the
other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the account of such other
party to the extent of such other party's interest therein and shall promptly
pay the same to such other party.

     SECTION 4.  CONSENT OF THE BORROWER AND THE AGENT.  This Agreement is
conditioned upon the consent of the Borrower and the Agent pursuant to Section
9.06(c) of the Credit Agreement.  The execution of this Agreement by the
Borrower and the Agent is evidence of this consent.  Pursuant to Section 9.06(c)
the Borrower agrees, upon surrender of the Assignor's Note, to execute and
deliver a Note payable to the order of the Assignee to evidence the assignment
and assumption provided for herein.

     SECTION 5.  NON-RELIANCE ON ASSIGNOR.  The Assignor makes no representation
or warranty in connection with, and shall have no responsibility with respect
to, the solvency, financial condition, or statements of the Borrower, or the
validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the
Credit Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any Note.  The Assignee acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be
responsible for making its own independent appraisal of the business, affairs
and financial condition of the Borrower.




<PAGE>

     SECTION 6.  AMENDMENT.  The Pledge Agreement is hereby amended so that
Section 8.11 thereof shall read in its entirety as follows:

          SECTION 8.11.  INTERACTION OF BORROWER WITH BANKS AND AGENT.  Upon any
          assignment of any interest of any Bank to a third party pursuant to
          the Credit Agreement, such third party shall be deemed to be a Bank
          for purposes of this Agreement to the extent of the interest so
          assigned.

     SECTION 7.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

     SECTION 8.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above
written.

Re:  Fourth Amendment to Amended and
     Restated Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
December 22, 1992, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated April 29,
1993, the Second Amendment thereto dated June 30, 1993 and the Third Amendment
thereto dated September 14, 1993 (the "Credit Agreement") among CRIIMI MAE Inc.
(the "Borrower"), the Banks listed on the signature pages thereto (the "Banks")
and Signet Bank/Virginia, as Agent (the "Agent"). Except as otherwise provided,
capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings set forth
in the Credit Agreement.

     The Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended as
hereinafter provided to permit the Borrower to incur certain Debt under credit
facilities from Nomura Securities International Inc. and Nomura Asset Capital
Corporation on substantially the terms and conditions specified in the Committed
Master Repurchase Agreement Governing Purchases and Sales of Participation
Certificates and the Committed Master Repurchase Agreement, as amended from time
to time, each dated as of November 30, 1993 from the Borrower to the Agent, a
copy of which are attached as Exhibit A hereto (jointly, the "Additional Nomura
Credit Facility"). The Banks and the Agent are willing to agree to such
requests, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.

     Accordingly, upon the acceptance of this Fourth Amendment by the Banks and
the Agent in the space provided for that purpose below, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

<PAGE>

     1. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. The Credit Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:


          a.   The definition of CIBC Credit Agreement, contained in Section
     1.01 of the Credit Agreement, is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
     follows:

          "CIBC Credit Agreement" means the Revolving Credit Agreement
          dated as of February 28, 1994, among the Borrower, the
          lenders named therein and the Canadian Imperial Bank of
          Commerce, New York Agency, as Administrative Agent.


          b.   The definition of Material Debt, contained in Section 1.01 of the
     Credit Agreement, is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

          "Material Debt" means consolidated Debt (other than the
          Notes) of the Borrower, the Liquidating REIT and/or one or
          more of their respective Subsidiaries, arising in one or
          more related or unrelated transactions, in an aggregate
          principal amount exceeding $5,000,000.

          c.   The Loan Documents, and each of them, and all exhibits thereto
     are amended by deleting any reference to "the Guaranty dated as of November
     28, 1989 related to the Debt of CRI Funding Corporation under the CIBC
     Credit Agreement" and substituting a reference to "the CIBC Credit
     Agreement" therefor wherever such words may appear and refer to the debt of
     the Borrower or the Material Debt that may be permitted under the Credit
     Agreement.

          d.   Subsection 5.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its
     entirety to read as follows:

               SECTION 5.05 Incurrence of Debt.

                    (a)  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its
          Subsidiaries to, issue, assume, guarantee,
<PAGE>


          incur or otherwise be or become liable in respect of Debt, if, after
          the incurrence of such Debt, there would exist the reasonable
          possibility of a material adverse effect on the business, financial
          position or results of operations of the Borrower and its
          Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or on the ability of the Borrower
          to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than:

               (i)  Debt of the Borrower to the Banks under the Loan Documents;

              (ii)  Debt of the Borrower under the Interest Rate Protection
          Agreements;

          Facility, as defined in the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated
          Credit Agreement dated April 28, 1994 among the Borrower, the Banks
          and the Agent and (C) other Debt of the Borrower on terms and
          conditions similar to those applicable to the Debt described in

          shall not be required to be subordinated to Debt to the Banks under
          the Loan Documents;

               (v)  Debt of the Borrower in an amount which does not exceed the
          Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower, subject to
          restrictions reasonably satisfactory to the Banks that the holders of
          any such Debt shall not exercise any right or remedy in connection
          therewith before the date that is one year after the Termination Date;

<PAGE>

              (vi)  accrued dividends not otherwise prohibited under the Loan
          Documents;

             (vii)  accounts payable and accrued expenses incurred in the
          ordinary course of business with maturities not exceeding one year;
          and

            (viii)  other Debt expressly approved by the Required Banks, which
          approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                    (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision
          contained herein, the Borrower will not permit the ratio of (i) Debt
          of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, other than accounts
          payable and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of
          business with maturities not exceeding one year, to (ii) consolidated
          stockholders' equity of the Borrower and its Consolidated

     representations and warranties made in or in connection with the Credit
     Agreement, this Fourth Amendment and each other Loan Document are true,

<PAGE>

     (p) "Repurchase Price", the price at which Purchased Securities are to be
transferred from Buyer to Seller upon termination of a Transaction, which will
be determined in each case (including Transactions terminable upon demand) as
the sum of the Purchase Price and the Price Differential as of the date of such
determination, increased by any amount determined by the application of the
provisions of Paragraph 11 hereof;
     (q) "Seller's Margin Amount", with respect to any Transaction as of any
date, the amount obtained by application of a percentage (which may be equal to
the percentage that is agreed to as the Buyer's Margin Amount under subparagraph
(c) of this Paragraph), agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into
the Transaction, to the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of such date.

3.   Initiation; Confirmation; Termination
     (a) An agreement to enter into a Transaction may be made orally or in
writing at the initiation of either Buyer or Seller. On the Purchase Date for
the Transaction, the Purchased Securities shall be transferred to Buyer or its
agent against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller.
     (b) Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, Buyer or Seller
(or both), as shall be agreed, shall promptly deliver to the other party a
written confirmation of each Transaction (a "Confirmation").  The Confirmation
shall describe the Purchased Securities (including CUSIP number, if any),
identify Buyer and Seller and set forth (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase
Price, (iii) the Repurchase Date, unless the Transaction is to be terminable on
demand, (iv) the Pricing Rate or Repurchase Price applicable to the Transaction,
and (v) any additional terms or conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent
with this Agreement.  The Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Seller with
respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates, unless with
respect to the Confirmation specific objection is made promptly after receipt
thereof.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation
and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
     (c) In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such


<PAGE>

demand shall be made by Buyer or Seller, no later than such time as is customary
in accordance with market practice, by telephone or otherwise on or prior to the
business day on which such termination will be effective. On the date specified
in such demand, or on the date fixed for termination in the case of Transactions
having a fixed term, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer
to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Securities and any Income in respect
thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or
applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof) against
the transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer.

4. Margin Maintenance


<PAGE>

     (a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount for all such Transactions
(a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such
Transactions, at Seller's option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional
Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer ("Additional Purchased Securities"),
so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities,
including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or
exceed such aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any
Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer
is acting as Seller).
     (b) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller's Margin Amount for all such Transactions at
such time (a "Margin Excess"), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require
Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer's option, to transfer cash or Purchased
Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased
Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so
transferred, will thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller's Margin Amount
(increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any
Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer).
     (c) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to
such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
     (d) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions
hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under
subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin
Deficit or Margin Excess exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified
percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or
percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any
such Transactions).
     (e) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions
hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs
(a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Margin Deficit or
a Margin Excess,


<PAGE>

as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin
Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder (calculated
without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).

5.   Income Payments
     Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment date
on the Securities subject to that Transaction, Buyer shall, as the parties may
agree with respect to such Transaction (or, in the absence of any agreement, as
Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income
is payable either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller an amount
equal to such Income payment or payments with respect to any Purchased
Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii)


<PAGE>

apply the Income payment or payments to reduce the amount to be transferred to
Buyer by Seller upon termination of the Transaction. Buyer shall not be
obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent
that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior
thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional
Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit.

6. Security Interest
     Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and
purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be
loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the
performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall
be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased
Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all proceeds thereof.

7.   Payment and Transfer
     Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be
in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one party hereto
to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or shall be
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and
such other documentation as the party receiving possession may reasonably
request, (ii) shall be transferred on the bookentry system of a Federal Reserve
Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method mutually acceptable to
Seller and Buyer. As used herein with respect to Securities, "transfer" is
intended to have the same meaning as when used in Section 8-313 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code or, where applicable, in any federal regulation
governing transfers of the Securities.

8. Segregation of Purchased Securities
     To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the
possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession
and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be
accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the



<PAGE>

holder, including a financial intermediary or a clearing corporation. Title
to all Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer and, unless otherwise agreed by
Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging
in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise pledging
or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve
Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to
Paragraphs 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer's obligation to credit or pay Income
to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5
hereof.

Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains Custody of the
Purchased Securities


<PAGE>

Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this
Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer's securities segregated at all times,
unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other
securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that Buyer's
securities will likely be commingled with Seller's own securities during the
trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer's
securities are commingled with Seller's securities, they [will]* [may]** be
subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]** and
may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions. Whenever
the securities are commingled, Seller's ability to resegregate substitute
securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller's ability to satisfy [the
clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.


<PAGE>

*Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. 403.4(e) if Seller is a government
 securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution
** Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. 403.5(d) if Seller is a financial
   institution


<PAGE>

9.   Substitution
     (a) Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer,
substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution
shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to
Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted
Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.
     (b) In Transactions in which the Seller retains custody of
Purchased Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed,
for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and
accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for
Purchased Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities shall
have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased
Securities for which they are substituted.

10.  Representations
Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is
duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the
Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and
has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and
performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if
agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as
agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its
behalf is duly  authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such
disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any
governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and
(v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law or
rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of
its assets are affected.  On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and
Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by
it.

11.  Events of Default
     In the event that (i) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer


<PAGE>

fails to transfer Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (ii)
Seller or Buyer fails, after one business day's notice, to comply with Paragraph
4 hereof, (iii) Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (iv) an Act of
Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (v) any representation made
by Seller or Buyer shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect
when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vi) Seller or
Buyer shall admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to,
perform any of its obligations hereunder (each an "Event of Default"):
     (a) At the option of the nondefaulting party, exercised by written notice
to the defaulting party (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised,
even if no notice is given,


<PAGE>

immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the Repurchase Date
for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed immediately to occur.
     (b)  In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller,
if the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party's
obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Securities in such
Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) to the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each
such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily
application of (x) the greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction or the
Prime Rate to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase
Date as determined pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph (decreased as
of any day by (A) any amounts retained by the nondefaulting party with respect
to such Repurchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) of this subparagraph, (B) any
proceeds from the sale of Purchased Securities pursuant to subparagraph (d)(i)
of this Paragraph, and (C) any amounts credited to the account of the defaulting
party pursuant to subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph) on a 360 day per year
basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the
date of the Event of Default giving rise to such option to but excluding the
date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (iii) all Income paid
after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting
party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices owed by the
defaulting party, and (iv) the defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the
nondefaulting party any Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then
in the defaulting party's possession.
     (c) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer,
upon tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase
Prices for all such Transactions, the defaulting party's right, title and
interest in all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be
deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party shall
deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.



<PAGE>

     (d)  After one business day's notice to the defaulting party (which notice
need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and which may be
the notice given under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph or the notice referred
to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Paragraph), the nondefaulting
party may:
          (i) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as
     Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market at such price or
     prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or
     all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the
     proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other
     amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole
     discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased
     Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased
     Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained
     from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation
     from such a source, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any
     other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and
          (ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as
     Buyer, (A) purchase securities ("Replacement Securities") of the same class
     and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the
     defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in
     its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to
     be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on
     such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent
     closing bid quotation from such a source.
     (e) As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer,
the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party (i) with respect
to Purchased Securities (other than Additional Purchased Securities), for any
excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for
Replacement Securities therefor over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
Securities and (ii) with respect to Additional Purchased Securities, for the
price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for the Replacement
Securities therefor. In addition, the defaulting party shall be liable to the
nondefaulting party for interest on such remaining liability with respect to
each such purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Securities from the date
of such purchase (or deemed purchase) until paid in full by Buyer. Such interest
shall be at a rate


<PAGE>

equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction or the Prime Rate.
     (f) For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each
Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as
Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such
Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the
nondefaulting party of its option under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.
     (g)  The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for
the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the
nondefaulting party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of
Default, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the
Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate.
     (h)  The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its
rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement
or applicable law.

12.  Single Agreement

     Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter
into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the
fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its
obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the
performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect
of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set
off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against
obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and
(iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in
respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of
payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions
hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

13. Notices and Other Communications
    Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective party to
whom any notice or other communication is to be given hereunder, all such
notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed in writing and
delivered at the respective addresses set forth in Annex II attached hereto.



<PAGE>

14.  Entire Agreement; Severability
     This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties
containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each
provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from
any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

15.  Non-assignability; Termination
     The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under
any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written
consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any
Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be cancelled by
either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that this Agreement
shall, notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any Transactions then
outstanding.

16.  Governing Law
     This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

17.  No Waivers, Etc.
     No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall
constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy
hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any
other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the
parties hereto.  Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give
a notice pursuant to subparagraphs 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute
a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

18.  Use of Employee Plan Assets
     (a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are intended to be
used by either party hereto (the "Plan Party") in a Transaction, the Plan Party
shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall
represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does


<PAGE>

not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt
therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be
required so to proceed.
     (b)  Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph,
any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to
Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and
its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.
     (c)  By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller
shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of seller's latest
such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller's
financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to
 agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its
financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any
outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

19.  Intent
     (a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a  "repurchase
agreement" as that term is defined in Section 1.01 of  Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended (except insofar as  the type of Securities subject to
such Transaction or the term of  such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable), and  a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section
741 of  Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
     (b) It is understood that either party's right to liquidate Securities
delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any
other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof, is a contractual right to
liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of
the United States Code, as amended.

20.  Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
     The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
     (a)  In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or
dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions
of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SIPA") do not protect the
other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
     (b)  In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with
the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act,


<PAGE>

SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder; and
     (c)  In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial
institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction
hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

previously paid by Seller to Buyer with respect to such Transaction);
     (j)  "Pricing Rate", the per annum percentage rate for determination of the
Price Differential;
     (k)   "Prime Rate", the prime rate of U.S. money center commercial banks as
published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL;
     (l)   "Purchase Date", the date on which Purchased Securities



<PAGE>

are transferred by Seller to Buyer;
     (m)  "Purchase Price", (i) on the Purchase Date, the price at which
Purchased Securities are transferred by Seller to Buyer, and (ii) thereafter,
such price increased by the amount of any cash transferred by Buyer to Seller
pursuant to paragraph 4(b) hereof and decreased by the amount of any cash
transferred by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) hereof or applied to
reduce Seller's obligations under clause (ii) of Paragraph 5 hereof;
     (n)  "Purchased Securities", the Securities transferred by Seller to Buyer
in a Transaction hereunder, and any Securities substituted therefor in
accordance with Paragraph 9 hereof. The term "Purchased Securities" with respect

Securities delivered pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) and shall exclude Securities
returned pursuant to Paragraph 4(b);
     (o)   "Repurchase Date", the date on which Seller is to repurchase the
Purchased Securities from Buyer, including any date determined by application of
the provisions of Paragraphs 3(c) or 11 hereof;
     (p)  "Repurchase Price", the price at which Purchased Securities are to be
transferred from Buyer to Seller upon termination of a Transaction, which will

the sum of the Purchase Price and the Price Differential as of the date of such
determination, increased by any amount determined by the application of the
provisions of Paragraph 11 hereof;
     (q)  "Seller's Margin Amount", with respect to any Transaction as of any
date, the amount obtained by application of a percentage (which may be equal to
the percentage that is agreed to as the Buyer's Margin Amount under subparagraph
(c) of this Paragraph), agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into the
Transaction, to the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of such date.

3.   Initiation; Confirmation; Termination
     (a)  An agreement to enter into a Transaction may be made orally or in
writing at the initiation of either Buyer or Seller. On the Purchase Date for
the Transaction, the Purchased Securities shall be transferred to Buyer or its
agent against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller.
     (b)  Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, Buyer or Seller
(or both), as shall be agreed, shall promptly deliver to the other party a
written confirmation of each Transaction (a "Confirmation"). The Confirmation
shall describe the Purchased Securities (including CUSIP number, if any),



<PAGE>

identify Buyer and Seller and set forth (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase
Price, (iii) the Repurchase Date, unless the Transaction is to be terminable on
demand, (iv) the Pricing Rate or Repurchase Price applicable to the Transaction,
and (v) any additional terms or conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent
with this Agreement. The Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Seller with
respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates, unless with
respect to the Confirmation specific objection is made promptly after receipt
thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and
this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
     (c)  In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such demand shall
be made by Buyer or Seller, no later than such time as is customary in
accordance with market practice, by telephone or otherwise on or prior to the
business day on which such termination will be effective. On the date specified
in such demand, or on the date fixed for termination in the case of Transactions
having a fixed term, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer
to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Securities and any Income in respect
thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or
applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof) against
the transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer.

4.   Margin Maintenance

     (a)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount for all such Transactions
(a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such
Transactions, at Seller's option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional
Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer ("Additional Purchased Securities"),
so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities,
including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or
exceed such aggregate Buyer's Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any
Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer
is acting as Seller).
     (b)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller's Margin Amount for all such Transactions at
such time (a



<PAGE>

"Margin Excess"), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such
Transactions, at Buyer's option, to transfer cash or Purchased Securities to
Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after
deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will
thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller's Margin Amount (increased by the
amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in
which such Seller is acting as Buyer).
     (c)  Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to
such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
     (d)  Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions
hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under
subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin
Deficit or Margin Excess exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified
percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or
percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any
such Transactions).
     (e)  Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions
hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs
(a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Margin Deficit or
a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Margin
Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder
(calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this
Agreement).

5.   Income Payments
     Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment date
on the Securities subject to that Transaction, Buyer shall, as the parties may
agree with respect to such Transaction (or, in the absence of any agreement, as
Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is
payable either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller an amount
equal to such Income payment or payments with respect to any Purchased
Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) apply the Income payment or
payments to reduce the amount to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon
termination of the Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action
pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent that such action would result
in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously
therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Securities
sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit.


<PAGE>


6.   Security Interest
     Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and
purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be
loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the
performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and
shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the
Purchased Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all proceeds
thereof.

7.   Payment and Transfer Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of
funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. All Securities
transferred by one party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form
for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving
possession may reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the bookentry
system of a Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other
method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer. As used herein with respect to
Securities, "transfer" is intended to have the same meaning as when used in
Section 8-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or, where applicable, in
any federal regulation governing transfers of the Securities.

8.   Segregation of Purchased Securities
     To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the
possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession
and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be
accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the
holder, including a financial intermediary or a clearing corporation. Title to
all Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer and, unless otherwise agreed by
Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging
in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise pledging
or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve
Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to
Paragraphs 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer's obligation to credit or pay Income
to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5
hereof.

Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains Custody of the
Purchased Securities Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for
those


<PAGE>

subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer's securities segregated
at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to
substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means
that Buyer's securities will likely be commingled with Seller's own securities
during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that
Buyer's securities are commingled with Seller's securities, they [will]* [may]**
be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]**
and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions.
Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller's ability to resegregate
substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller's ability to satisfy
[the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.

9.   Substitution
     (a) Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer,
substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution
shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to
Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted
Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.
     (b) In Transactions in which the Seller retains custody of Purchased
Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for
purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and accepted
in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased
Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such other Securities shall have a Market
Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which
they are substituted.

10.  Representations
     Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it
is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the
Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and
has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and
performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if
agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as
agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its
behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such
disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any
governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and
(v) the execution, delivery and



<PAGE>

performance of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will not violate
any law, ordinance, charter, bylaw or rule applicable

*Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. Section 403.4(e) if Seller is a government
securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution


**Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. Section 403.5(d) if Seller is a financial
institution to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its
assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller
shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

11.  Events of Default
     In the event that (i) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer
Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (ii) Seller or Buyer
fails, after one business day's notice, to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iii)
Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (iv) an Act of Insolvency occurs
with respect to Seller or Buyer, (v) any representation made by Seller or Buyer
shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or
repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vi) Seller or Buyer shall
admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its
obligations hereunder (each an "Event of Default"):
     (a)  At the option of the nondefaulting party, exercised by written notice
to the defaulting party (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised,
even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of
Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed
immediately to occur.
     (b)  In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller,
if the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party's
obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Securities in such
Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) to the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each
such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily
application of (x) the



<PAGE>
greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction or the Prime Rate to (y) the
Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined
pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph (decreased as of any day by (A)
any amounts retained by the nondefaulting party with respect to such Repurchase
Price pursuant to clause (iii) of this subparagraph, (B) any proceeds from the
sale of Purchased Securities pursuant to subparagraph (d)(i) of this Paragraph,
and (C) any amounts credited to the account of the defaulting party pursuant to
subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph) on a 360 day per year basis for the actual
number of days during the period from and including the date of the Event of
Default giving rise to such option to but excluding the date of payment of the
Repurchase Price as so increased, (iii) all Income paid after such exercise or
deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting party and applied to the
aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices owed by the defaulting party, and (iv) the
defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any
Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party's
possession.
     (c)  In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer,
upon tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase
Prices for all such Transactions, the defaulting party's right, title and
interest in all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be
deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party shall
deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.
     (d)  After one business day's notice to the defaulting party (which notice
need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and which may be
the notice given under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph or the notice referred
to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Paragraph), the nondefaulting
party may:
          (i)  as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as
     Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market at such price or
     prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any
     or all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the
     proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other
     amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole
     discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased
     Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased
     Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained
     from a generally recognized source or the




<PAGE>

most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the aggregate
unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party
hereunder; and
          (ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as
Buyer, (A) purchase securities ("Replacement Securities") of the same class and
amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting
party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its sole
discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to
have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date,
obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid
quotation from such a source.
     (e)  As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer,
the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party (i) with respect
to Purchased Securities (other than Additional Purchased Securities), for any
excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for
Replacement Securities therefor over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
Securities and (ii) with respect to Additional Purchased Securities, for the
price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for the Replacement
Securities therefor. In addition, the defaulting party shall be liable to the
nondefaulting party for interest on such remaining liability with respect to
each purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Securities from the date
of such purchase (or deemed purchase) until paid in full by Buyer. Such interest
shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for such Transaction
or the Prime Rate.
     (f)  For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each
Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as
Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such
Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the
nondefaulting party of its option under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.
     (g)  The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for
the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the
nondefaulting party in connection with or consequence of an Event of
Default, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the
Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate.
     (h)  The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights
hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or
applicable law.



<PAGE>

12.  Single Agreement
     Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter
into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the
fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its
obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the
performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect
of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set
off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against
obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and
(iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in
respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of
payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions
hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

13.  Notices and Other Communications
     Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective party to
whom any notice or other communication is to be given hereunder, all such
notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed in writing and
delivered at the respective addresses set forth in Annex II attached hereto.

14.  Entire Agreement; Severability
     This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties
containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each
provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from
any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

15.  Non-assignability; Termination
     The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under
any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written
consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any
Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be cancelled by
either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that this Agreement
shall, notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any



<PAGE>

Transactions then outstanding.

16.  Governing Law
     This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

17.  No Waivers, Etc. No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default
by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no
exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its
right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom
shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed
by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the
failure to give a notice pursuant to subparagraphs 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not
constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

18.  Use of Employee Plan Assets
     (a)  If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are intended to be
used by either party hereto (the "Plan Party") in a Transaction, the Plan Party
shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall
represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute
a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the
other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to
proceed.
     (b)  Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph,
any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to
Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and
its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.
     (c)  By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller
shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller's latest
such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller's
financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree
to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial
condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any outstanding
Transaction involving a Plan Party.



<PAGE>


19.  Intent
     (a)  The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase
agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to
such Transaction or term of such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section
741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

     (b)  It is understood that either party's right to liquidate Securities
delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any
other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof, is a contractual right to
liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of
the United States Code, as amended.

20.  Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
     The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
     (a)  in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or
dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of
the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SIPA") do not protect the other
party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
     (b)  in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with
the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to
the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and
     (c)  in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial
institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction
hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation or the
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

                               Supplemental Terms

Mr. Jay Cohen
CRIIMI MAE Inc.
11120 Rockville Pike
Rockville, MD  20852
Dear Mr. Cohen:
This letter (this "COMMITMENT LETTER") evidences the commitment among German
American Capital Corporation ("GACC") and CRIIMI MAE Inc. ("CUSTOMER") (i)
whereby GACC will purchase, on a revolving basis, FHA Mortgage Loans (as defined
below) from Customer from time to time for up to an aggregate purchase price of
$300,000,000 minus the aggregate purchase price paid by GACC for GNMA Securities
purchased under the GNMA Facility (as such terms are defined below) (the "FHA
FACILITY") and (ii) whereby GACC will purchase, on a revolving basis, GNMA
Securities from Customer from time to time for up to an aggregate purchase price
of $300,000,000 minus the aggregate purchase price paid by GACC for FHA Mortgage
Loans purchased under the FHA Facility, subject to the limitations set forth in
paragraph 3 below (the "GNMA FACILITY"; the FHA Facility and the GNMA Facility,
collectively, the "FACILITY"), in the case of (i) and (ii) above, under the
circumstances, and pursuant to the terms and conditions, set forth below.

1.   OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS
Reference is made to (i) the Committed Master Repurchase Agreement Governing

<PAGE>

related parties shall mutually agree and to be dated no later than January 23,

securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association; "MORTGAGE
LOANS" refers to either FHA Mortgage Loans or GNMA Securities; and "TRANSACTION"

control (except with respect to defined terms used herein but defined in the
Facility Agreement), including, without limitation, that provision of this
Commitment Letter that relates to the existence of a commitment to purchase

     such Transactions (a "COLLATERAL DEFICIT"), then Buyer may, by written
     notice to Seller, require Seller to transfer to the Custodian Participation
     Certificates reasonably acceptable to Buyer and/or cash ("ADDITIONAL
     COLLATERAL"), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased
     PCs, including any such Additional Collateral, will thereupon equal or
     exceed the aggregate Collateral Amount.

     (b)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased PCs subject
     to all Transactions exceeds the aggregate Collateral Amount for all such
     Transactions (a "COLLATERAL EXCESS"), then Seller may, by written notice to
     Buyer, require Buyer in such Transactions to transfer to Seller or its
     designee Purchased PCs and/or cash so that the cash and aggregate Market
     Value of the Purchased PCs, after deduction of any such Participation
     Certificates and/or cash so transferred, will thereupon not exceed the
     aggregate Collateral Amount.

     (c)  Notice required pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above may be given
     by any means of telecopier or telegraphic transmission.  A notice for the
     payment or delivery in respect of a Collateral Deficit or Collateral
     Excess, as the case may be, received before 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day,
     local time of the party receiving the notice, must be met not later than
     5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following the date on which
     notice was given.  Any notice given on a Business Date after 1:00 p.m.,
     local time of the party receiving the notice, shall be met not later than
     5:00 p.m., (New York time) on the second Business Day following the date on
     which notice was given.  The failure of Buyer or Seller, on any one or more
     occasions, to exercise its rights under subsections (a) or (b) of this
     Section, respectively, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions
     to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of the Buyer or
     Seller to do so at a later date.  Buyer and Seller agree that a failure or
     delay to exercise its rights under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section
     shall not limit either party's rights under this Agreement or otherwise
     existing by law or in any way create additional rights for the other party.


5.   INCOME PAYMENTS

     (a)  Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment
     date on the Purchased PCs subject to that Transaction such Income shall be
     the property of Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees that
     Servicer shall continue to remit Income to Seller unless and until an Event
     of Default by the Seller occurs, in which case Buyer may at its election
     direct Servicer to hold such Income in a segregated account for and on
     behalf of Buyer and/or to remit such Income directly to Buyer.

     (b)  Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions
     hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased PCs, Seller shall pay to Buyer
     the accreted value of the







<PAGE>

     Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously
     paid by Seller to Buyer)("PERIODIC PAYMENT") on the first Business Day of
     each calendar quarter (each, a "PAYMENT DATE").  If Seller fails to make
     the Periodic Payment by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day
     following the Payment Date, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in
     addition to, and together with, the Periodic Payment) a late payment fee of
     $100 per day (the "LATE PAYMENT FEE") until the Periodic Payment is
     received by Buyer.

     (c)  Buyer shall offset against the Repurchase Price of each such
     Transaction all Income and payments actually received by Buyer pursuant to
     Sections 5(a) and (b), respectively, excluding any Late Payment Fees paid
     pursuant to Section 5(b).

6.   SECURITY INTEREST

     Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to the
     Buyer of the Purchased PCs and not loans from the Buyer to the Seller
     secured by the Purchased PCs.  However, in order to preserve the Buyer's
     rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum
     recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the
     performance by Seller of all of Seller's obligations to Buyer under this
     Agreement and the Transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement,
     Seller grants Buyer a first priority security interest in the Purchased
     PCs, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, insurance relating to the
     Purchased PCs, Income, custodial accounts and escrow accounts relating to
     the Purchased PCs and any other contract rights, general intangibles and
     other assets relating to the Purchased PCs or any interest in the Purchased
     PCs, the servicing of the Purchased PCs, and securities backed by or
     representing an interest in such Purchased PCs (collectively, the
     "COLLATERAL").

7.   PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

     (a)  Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds
     hereunder shall be in immediately available funds.

     (b)  Subject to Section 7(c), on the Purchase Date for each Transaction,
     ownership of the Purchased PCs shall be transferred to the Buyer against
     the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller
     specified in the Confirmation.  Seller, simultaneously with the delivery to
     the Buyer of the Purchased PCs relating to each Transaction hereby sells,
     transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer without recourse, but subject to
     the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in
     and to the Purchased PCs together with all right, title and interest in and
     to the proceeds of any related insurance policies.

     (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer
     shall have no obligation to purchase any Participation Certificates on any
     Purchase Date if, after such purchase:



<PAGE>


          (i)  an Event of Default by the Seller will have occurred and be
          continuing, or an Event of Default by the Seller would occur with
          notice or the passing of time;

          (ii) the Repurchase Date for such Transaction would be later than
          April 1, 1996; or

          (iii)     the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased PCs for all
          Transactions not then terminated would exceed the Facility Amount.

     (d)  In connection with such sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment, on
     or prior to each Purchase Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be
     delivered and released to the Custodian an Original PC for each of the
     Purchased PCs. In addition, with respect to each Purchased PC (i) under
     which CRICO Mortgage Company, Inc., the Seller, or any other Affiliate of
     the Seller, is the Mortgagee of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, or (ii) which
     at any time is serviced by the Seller, or any Affiliate of the Seller, the
     Seller shall cause to be delivered and released to the Mortgage File
     Custodian, on or before each Purchase Date (or in the event of (ii) above,
     on or before the date on which the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller
     begins servicing the applicable Underlying Mortgage Loan), the PC Mortgage
     File.

     (e)  With respect to each Original PC delivered or caused to be delivered
     by Seller to the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall execute
     irrevocable letters of instructions to each Servicer or Master Servicer of
     the Underlying Mortgage Loan, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV
     attached hereto (the "Registration Letter"), directing such Servicer or
     Master Servicer to continue making all payments of Income directly to
     Seller unless otherwise further notified by Buyer that an Event of Default
     under this Agreement has occurred, in which case Buyer may instruct such
     Servicer and Master Servicer to remit payments of Income to Buyer at the
     account so directed by Buyer.

     (f)  The Original PCs delivered to Custodian shall be maintained in
     accordance with the Custodial Agreement.  The Seller understands and agrees
     that the Custodian shall have no responsibility to the Seller, including
     without limitation any responsibility to keep the Seller informed of any
     changes in the status of such Original PCs or in the Buyer's instructions
     with respect thereto, except as explicitly set forth in the Custodial
     Agreement.

     (g)  The PC Mortgage Files delivered to the Mortgage File Custodian shall
     be maintained in accordance with the Tri-party Custodial Agreement.

     (h)  Any cash held by Buyer or its designee as Additional Collateral shall
     be deposited in an interest bearing account.  The interest on such cash
     shall accrue for the benefit of Seller and shall be held by Buyer or its
     designee as Additional Collateral.





<PAGE>


8.   HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED PCS

     Title to all Purchased PCs shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free
     and unrestricted use of all Purchased PCs.  Nothing in this Agreement shall
     preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased
     PCs or otherwise pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating
     the Purchased PCs, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its
     obligations to transfer the Purchased PCs to Seller pursuant to Section 3.
     Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any
     Purchased PCs delivered to Buyer by Seller.

9.   SUBSTITUTION; RELEASE

     (a)  Subject to Section 9(b), Seller may, upon fifteen (15) Business Days
     written notice to Buyer, substitute other Participation Certificates for
     any Purchased PCs, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the fifteen (15) Business Days
     written notice requirement shall not apply to any substitution made (i)
     with respect to any Purchased PC for which Seller receives written notice
     from Servicer that the Underlying Mortgage Loan is in default or will be
     prepaid, or (ii) for the purpose of satisfying a Collateral Deficit
     pursuant to Section 4(a).  Such substitution shall be made by (i) the
     transfer to the Custodian of an Original PC, together with the Custodial
     Delivery, and (ii) the transfer to Seller or its designee of the Purchased
     PCs requested for release.  With respect to substituted Participation
     Certificates under which CRICO Mortgage Company, Inc., is the Mortgagee of
     the Underlying Mortgage Loan, the PC Mortgage File shall be delivered to
     the Mortgage File Custodian.  After substitution, the substituted
     Participation Certificates shall be deemed to be Purchased PCs.

     (b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller may
     not substitute other Participation Certificates for any Purchased PCs if
     (i) Buyer does not consent to such substitution, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld, (ii) after taking into account such substitution, a
     Collateral Deficit were to occur, and (iii) such substitution would impact
     or adversely affect Seller's status as a "real estate investment trust."
     Upon Buyer's reasonable request, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an opinion
     of Arent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn or other nationally recognized tax
     counsel that such substitution will not impact or adversely affect Seller's
     status as a "real estate investment trust."

     (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may, upon three (3) Business
     Days written notice to Buyer, exchange one or more Purchased PCs that
     represent a beneficial interest in Underlying Mortgage Loans which are
     construction loans for one Participation Certificate that represents a
     beneficial interest in one permanent Underlying Mortgage Loan, provided
     that the permanent Underlying Mortgage Loan shall have an outstanding
     principal balance at least equal to the sum of the outstanding principal
     balances of the construction Underlying Mortgage Loans.  Such exchange
     shall be made by (i) the transfer to the Custodian of an Original PC for
     the permanent Underlying Mortgage Loan, together with the Custodial
     Delivery, and (ii) the transfer to Seller or its designee



<PAGE>

     of the Purchased PCs requested for exchange.  Such exchange shall not
     constitute a substitution for purposes of Section 9(a).

     (d)  Buyer shall, upon five (5) Business Days written notice from Seller,
     release a Converted PC from the related Transaction and this Agreement,
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall not be obligated to release a Converted
     PC from the related Transaction and this Agreement, (i) if after taking
     into account such release, a Collateral Deficit were to occur, and (ii)
     unless Seller is obligated to place the Converted PC into a transaction
     under the GNMA Repurchase Agreement.  Upon such release, Custodian shall
     hold the Converted PC in escrow to facilitate the conversion.

     Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased PCs by the Buyer from the
     Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder

                    conducted by the Seller.

(ii) NO LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or

                    operations, financial condition, properties, or assets of
                    the Seller, or which may have an adverse effect on the

<PAGE>


                    taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of
                    the Seller contemplated herein.

(iii)   NO BROKER.  The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
                    banker, agent, or other person, except for the Buyer, who
                    may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
                    connection with the sale of Purchased PCs pursuant to this
                    Agreement.

(iv)    GOOD TITLE TO COLLATERAL.  Purchased PCs shall be free and clear of any
                    lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer, and the Seller
                    represents and warrants the foregoing to the Buyer and
                    represents and warrants that it has good, valid and
                    marketable title or right to sell and transfer such

(v)     UNENCUMBERED ASSETS.  Seller shall maintain cash, cash equivalents
                    (including lines of credit in an amount up to $15,000,000)

                    CRI Liquidating REIT, Inc. owned and held by Seller but
                    excluding any hedge contracts owned by Seller) deemed
                    satisfactory in the sole judgment by Buyer (the loan value
                    of which shall be determined in the sole judgment of Buyer)
                    equal to at least $5,000,000.

(vi)    DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS.  An Original PC and all other documents required
                    to be delivered under this Agreement and the Custodial
                    Agreement for each of the Purchased PCs have been delivered
                    to the Custodian, and with respect to each Purchased PC
                    under which CRICO Mortgage Company, Inc., is the Mortgagee
                    of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, the PC Mortgage File has
                    been delivered to the Mortgage File Custodian.

(vii)   SELECTION PROCESS.  The Purchased PCs were selected from among the
                    outstanding participation certificates in the Seller's
                    portfolio as to which the representations and warranties set
                    forth in this Agreement could be made and such selection was
                    not made in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests
                    of the Buyer.

        (c)  The Seller further represents and warrants to the Buyer with
        respect to each Participation Certificate sold hereunder, as of the
        related Purchase Date, and with respect to each Participation
        Certificate delivered hereunder as Additional Collateral, Substituted

                    right and authority subject to no interest or participation

                    in full force and effect, with no material changes or
                    modifications made therein subsequent to the final
                    endorsement of the Note by the FHA, except as may be
                    approved in writing by HUD;

(viii)    To the best of our knowledge, each building or other improvement
                    located on the Mortgaged Property is insured under customary

                    advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other

                    Participation Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933
                    or which would render the disposition of the Participation
                    Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act
                    of 1933 or require registration pursuant thereto, nor will

11.  NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF THE SELLER

     exist any lien, encumbrance or security interest in or on the Purchased PCs
     except as described in Section 6 of this Agreement.

12.  AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE SELLER

     (a)  Seller covenants that it will promptly notify Buyer of any material

     lien, encumbrance or security interest in or on any of the Collateral
     without the prior express written consent of Buyer.

     (e)  Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as possible, but in no event later
     than three (3) Business Days after obtaining actual knowledge thereof, if
     any event has occurred that constitutes an Event of Default with respect to
     Seller or any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or
     both, would become an Event of Default with respect to Seller.

     (f)  Seller shall provide Buyer with a certified copy of each Servicing
     Agreement and Seller covenants that it will not amend, modify or waive, nor
     consent to any amendment,

               obligations set forth in this Agreement;

(ix)      Buyer, in its good faith judgment, has reasonable cause to believe

(xv) Seller pledges, directly or indirectly, hypothecates or encumbers any of
               its assets or engages in repurchase transactions or similar

               provided that the aggregate indebtedness pursuant to such
               repurchase agreements shall not exceed $50,000,000 and provided
               that the pledge of any other assets of Seller pursuant to such

               which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(xvi)     Seller fails to maintain consolidated shareholders equity (computed in

14.       REMEDIES

          (a)  If an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Seller, the
               following rights and remedies are available to the Buyer:

(i)       At the option of the Buyer, exercised by written notice to the Seller
               (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no
               notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of
               Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder
               shall be deemed immediately to occur.  Notwithstanding that the
               Repurchase Date shall be deemed immediately to have occurred upon
               the exercise or deemed exercise of such option by the Buyer, for
               purposes of determining the Repurchase Price, the Repurchase Date
               shall be the date specified in the Confirmation for such
               Transaction.

(ii)      If the Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
               referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A)       the Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased PCs in
               such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and
               payable,

(B)       to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with
               respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the
               aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day
               per year basis for the actual number of days during the period
               from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of
               such option to but excluding the date of payment of the
               Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the greater of the Prime
               Rate or the Pricing Rate for each such Transaction multiplied by
               (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased as of
               any day by (I) any amounts actually in the possession of Buyer
               pursuant to clause (C) of this subsection, (II) any proceeds from
               the sale of Purchased PCs applied to the Repurchase Price
               pursuant to subsection (a)(ix) of this Section, and (III) any
               amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection
               (a)(iii) of this Section), and

(C)       all Income and payments actually received by the Buyer pursuant to
               Sections 5(a) and (b), excluding any Late Payment Fees paid
               pursuant to Section 5(b), shall be applied to the aggregate
               unpaid Repurchase Price owed by the Seller.

(iii)     After one Business Day's notice to the Seller with respect to an Event
               of Default relating to a failure by Seller to make a required



<PAGE>


               payment pursuant to this Agreement, or after three Business Day's
               notice to Seller in connection with any other Event of Default
               (which notice need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall
               have occurred, and which may be the notice given under subsection
               (a)(i) of this Section), the Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a
               public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at
               such price or prices as the Buyer may reasonably deem
               satisfactory any or all Purchased PCs subject to a Transaction
               hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling
               all or a portion of such Purchased PCs, to give the Seller credit
               for such Purchased PCs in an amount equal to the Market Value of
               the Purchased PCs against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price
               and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.  The
               proceeds of any disposition of Purchased PCs shall be applied
               first to the costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in
               connection with the Seller's default; second to consequential
               damages, including but not limited to costs of cover and/or
               related hedging transactions, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall
               act in good faith and in a timely manner to mitigate damages to
               the extent practicable; third to the Repurchase Price; and fourth
               to any other outstanding obligation of the Seller to the Buyer or
               its Affiliates.

(iv)      The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell
               all of the Purchased PCs on a particular Business Day, or in a
               transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner
               because the market for such Purchased PCs may not be liquid.  In
               view of the nature of the Purchased PCs, the parties agree that
               liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased PCs does
               not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith
               private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
               commercially reasonable manner.  Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in
               its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any
               Purchased PC and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate
               Buyer to liquidate any Purchased PC on the occurrence of an Event
               of Default or to liquidate all Purchased PCs in the same manner
               or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any
               right or remedy of Buyer.  However, in recognition of the
               parties' agreement that the Transactions hereunder have been
               entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact
               that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single




<PAGE>

               business and contractual relationship and that each Transaction
               has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions,
               the parties further agree that Buyer shall use its best efforts
               to liquidate all Transactions hereunder upon the occurrence of an
               Event of Default as quickly as is prudently possible in the
               reasonable judgment of Buyer.

(v)       Seller agrees that Buyer may obtain an injunction or an order of
               specific performance to compel Seller to fulfill its obligations
               as set forth in Section 24, if Seller fails or refuses to perform
               its obligations as set forth therein.

(vi)      Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all expenses,
               including reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by Buyer in
               connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, and
               (B) consequential damages including, without limitation, all
               costs incurred in connection with hedging or covering
               transactions, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall act in good
               faith and in a timely manner to mitigate damages to the extent
               practicable.

(vii)     Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies provided herein, provided
               by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including,
               without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party
               under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, to
               the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code is applicable, and
               the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and
               under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller.

(viii)    Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer
               immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and,
               except to the extent provided in subsections (a)(i) and (iii) of
               this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller.
               All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended
               from time-to-time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of
               any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(ix) In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed
               against any assets of Seller which may be in the possession of
               Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), including the
               right to liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds
               against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant




<PAGE>


               to this Agreement.  Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the
               liquidation of the Purchased PCs, any Collateral or its proceeds,
               and all other sums or obligations owed by Seller to Buyer against
               all of Seller's obligations to Buyer, whether under this
               Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement
               between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such
               obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer's right to
               recover any deficiency.  Any cash, proceeds, or property in
               excess of any amounts due, or which Buyer reasonably believes may
               become due, to it from Seller shall be returned to Seller after
               satisfaction of all obligations of Seller to Buyer.

(x)       Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior
               judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives
               any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to
               enforce its rights by judicial process.  Seller also waives any
               defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of
               nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion
               of the Collateral, or from any other election of remedies, except
               that Seller does not waive any defense it might have that the
               Collateral was not sold in a commercially reasonable manner.
               Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with
               the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity
               and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.

          (b)  If an Event of Default occurs with respect to Buyer, the
          following rights and remedies are available to the Seller:

(i)       Upon tender by the Seller of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price
          for all such Transactions, the Buyer's right, title and interest in
          all Purchased PCs subject to such Transactions shall be deemed
          transferred to the Seller, and the Buyer shall deliver all such
          Purchased PCs to the Seller or its designee at Buyer's expense.

(ii)      If the Seller exercises the option referred to in subsection (b)(i) of
               this Section and the Buyer fails to deliver the Purchased PCs to
               the Seller or its designee, after one Business Day's notice to
               the Buyer, the Seller may (A) purchase mortgage loans,
               Participation Certificates or securities ("REPLACEMENT ASSETS")
               that are as similar as is reasonably practicable in
               characteristics, outstanding principal amounts (as a pool) and
               interest rate to any Purchased PCs that are not




<PAGE>
               delivered by the Buyer to the Seller or its designee as required
               hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of
               purchasing Replacement Assets, to be deemed to have purchased
               Replacement Assets at a price therefor on such date, equal to the
               Market Value of the Purchased PCs.

(iii)     The Buyer shall be liable to the Seller (A) with respect to Purchased
               PCs (other than Additional Collateral), for any excess of the
               price paid (or deemed paid) by the Seller for Replacement Assets
               therefor over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased PCs and (B)
               with respect to Additional Collateral, for the price paid (or
               deemed paid) by the Seller for the Replacement Assets therefor.
               In addition, the Buyer shall be liable to the Seller for interest
               on such remaining liability with respect to each such purchase
               (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Assets from the date of such
               purchase (or deemed purchase) until paid in full by Buyer.  Such
               interest shall be at the greater of the Pricing Rate or the Prime
               Rate.

15.  RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

     Buyer and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to
     time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between
     its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions,
     provided, however, such right to record communications shall be limited to
     communications of employees taking place on the trading floor of Buyer
     and/or Seller.  Buyer and Seller consent to the admissibility of such tape
     recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings.  The parties
     agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall
     be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties' agreement.

16.  SINGLE AGREEMENT

     Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter
     into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon
     the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
     contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in
     consideration of the other Transactions.  Accordingly, each of Buyer and
     Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each
     Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
     obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions
     hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and
     apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against
     obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder
     and (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of
     them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in
     consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of
     any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such
     payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other
     and netted.

17.  NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

     (a)  Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective party
     to whom any written notice or other communication is to be given hereunder,
     all such notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed in
     writing and delivered at the respective addresses set forth in the
     Confirmation, except as provided in Section 4(c).  All demands, notices and
     communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed,
     by overnight courier, registered or certified mail, return receipt
     requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party.  Any
     such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been
     received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the
     addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by
     the date noted on the return receipt).

     (b)  Buyer shall be authorized to accept orders and take any other action
     affecting any accounts of the Seller in response to instructions given in
     writing or orally by telephone or otherwise by any person set forth in
     Exhibit V hereto, and the Seller shall indemnify Buyer, defend, and hold
     Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses,




<PAGE>

     damages, costs, and expenses of any nature arising out of or in
     connection with any action taken by Buyer in response to such instructions
     received or reasonably believed to have been received from the Seller.
     From time to time, Seller may, by delivering to Buyer a revised exhibit,
     change the information previously given pursuant to this Section, but the
     Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the current exhibit until
     receipt of the superseding exhibit.

18.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

     This Agreement together with the Commitment Letter and the applicable
     Confirmation constitutes the entire understanding between Buyer and Seller
     with respect to the subject matter it covers and shall supersede any
     existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and
     conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased PCs.  By
     acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they have
     not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations,
     promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement.  Each provision
     and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any
     other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable
     notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or
     agreement.

19.  NON-ASSIGNABILITY

     The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under
     any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior
     written consent of the other party, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer may
     assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and/or under any
     Transaction to an Affiliate that is subject to Deutsche Bank AG's
     "declaration of backing", without the prior written consent of the other
     party.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall
     be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their
     respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement express or
     implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties to this Agreement
     and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable
     right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

20.  GOVERNING LAW

     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
     YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

21.  CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION

     The parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the
     United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the
     parties irrevocably waiving any objection thereto.  If, for any reason,
     federal jurisdiction is not available, and only if federal jurisdiction is
     not available, the parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal
     jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the parties
     irrevocably waiving any objection thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
     two sentences, at either party's sole option exercisable at any time not
     later than thirty (30) days after an action or proceeding has been
     commenced, the parties agree that the matter may be submitted to binding
     arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American
     Arbitration Association then in effect in the State of New York and
     judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
     court having jurisdiction thereof





<PAGE>


     within the City, County and State of New York, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
     arbitrator shall not amend, supplement, or reform in any regard this
     Agreement or the terms of any Confirmation, the rights or obligations of
     any party hereunder or thereunder, or the enforceability of any of the
     terms hereof or thereof.  Any arbitration shall be conducted before a
     single arbitrator who shall be reasonably familiar with repurchase
     transactions and the secondary mortgage market in the City, County, and
     State of New York.

22.  NO WAIVERS, ETC.

     No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall
     constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any
     remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to
     exercise any other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any
     provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure
     herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and
     duly executed by both of the parties hereto.  Any such waiver or
     modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
     specific purpose for which it was given.



<PAGE>


23.  INTENT

     The parties understand and intend that this Agreement and each Transaction
     hereunder constitute a "securities contract" as that term is defined in
     Section 741(7) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

24.  SERVICING

     (a)  Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Underlying
     Mortgage Loans to be maintained in conformity with accepted servicing
     practices in the industry and in a manner at least equal in quality to the
     servicing Seller requires for mortgage loans which it owns.  All servicing
     fees and compensation with respect to the servicing of the Underlying
     Mortgage Loans shall be customary, reasonable and consistent with industry
     practice.  All servicing fees and compensation with respect to the
     servicing of the Underlying Mortgage Loans shall be paid in accordance with
     the terms of the Servicing Agreements.

     (b)  Seller hereby irrevocably assigns to the Buyer and Buyer's successors
     and assigns all right, title, interest and the benefits of the Servicing
     Agreements with respect to the Purchased PCs.  Accordingly, Seller shall
     provide Buyer with the notices to the applicable Servicers and Master
     Servicers required in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreements
     consistent with Exhibit IV hereto sufficient to transfer Seller's ownership
     interest in the Purchased PCs to the Buyer.

25.  DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

     The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that in the case of
     Transactions in which one of the parties is an "insured depository
     institution" as that term is defined in Section 1831(a) of Title 12 of the
     United States Code, as amended, funds held by the financial institution
     pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not
     insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings
     Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.

26.  NETTING

     If Buyer and Seller are "financial institutions" as now or hereinafter
     defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code ("SECTION
     4402") and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder:

     (a)  All amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the
     other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to
     be "payment obligations" and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of
     one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder
     shall be deemed to be "payment entitlements" within the meaning of Section
     4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a "netting contract" as
     defined in Section 4402.




<PAGE>


     (b)  The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties
     hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be
     netted as follows.  In the event that either party (the "DEFAULTING PARTY")
     shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any
     Transaction hereunder, the other party (the "NONDEFAULTING PARTY") shall be
     entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the
     Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment
     obligation that the Defaulting Party failed to honor.

27.  MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)  Time is of the essence under this agreement and all Transactions and
     all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of
     the action unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

     (b)  If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement or any
     Transaction entered into hereunder and the Custodial Agreement, this
     Agreement shall prevail.

     (c)  If there is any conflict between the terms of a Confirmation or a
     corrected Confirmation issued by the Buyer and this Agreement, the
     Confirmation shall prevail.

     (d)  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so
     executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts
     shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     (e)  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
     and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.


                      [THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement as of the

<PAGE>

4.   COLLATERAL AMOUNT MAINTENANCE

(a)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Collateral Amount for all
such Transactions (a "COLLATERAL DEFICIT"), then Buyer may, by written notice to
Seller, require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee additional
Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer and/or cash ("ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL"),
so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities,
including any such Additional Collateral, will thereupon equal or exceed the
aggregate Collateral Amount.

(b)  If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities
subject to all Transactions exceeds the aggregate Collateral Amount for all such
Transactions (a "COLLATERAL EXCESS"), then Seller may, by written notice to
Buyer, require Buyer in such Transactions to transfer to Seller or its designee
Purchased Securities and/or cash so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of
the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such Securities and/or cash so
transferred, will thereupon not exceed the aggregate Collateral Amount.

(c)  Notice required pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) above may be given by
any means of telecopier or telegraphic transmission.  A notice for the payment
or delivery in respect of a Collateral Deficit or Collateral Excess, as the case

receiving the notice, must be met not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on
the Business Day following the date on which notice was given.  Any notice given
on a Business Date after 1:00 p.m., local time of the party receiving the
notice, shall be met not later than 5:00 p.m., (New York time) on the second
Business Day following the date on which notice was given.  The failure of Buyer
or Seller, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under
subsections (a) or (b) of this Section, respectively, shall not change or alter
the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right
of the Buyer or Seller to do so at a later date.  Buyer and Seller agree that a
failure or delay to exercise its rights under subsections (a) or (b) of this
Section shall not limit either party's rights under this Agreement or otherwise
existing by law or in any way create additional rights for the other party.

5.   INCOME PAYMENTS

(a)  Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment date
on the Purchased Securities subject to that Transaction such Income shall be the
property of Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer agrees that the Seller
shall continue to receive Income unless and until an Event of Default by the
Seller occurs, in which case Buyer may at its election direct the recipient of
Income to hold such Income in a segregated account for and on behalf of Buyer
and/or remit such Income directly to Buyer.


<PAGE>

(b)  Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions
hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Securities, Seller shall pay to
Buyer the accreted value of the Price Differential (less any amount of such
Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer)("PERIODIC PAYMENT") on
the first Business Day of each calendar quarter (each, a "PAYMENT DATE").  If
Seller fails to make the Periodic Payment by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
Business Day following the Payment Date, Seller shall be obligated to pay to
Buyer (in addition to, and together with, the Periodic Payment) a late payment
fee of $100 per day (the "LATE PAYMENT FEE") until the Periodic Payment is
received by Buyer.

(c)  Buyer shall offset against the Repurchase Price of each such Transaction
all Income and payments actually received by Buyer pursuant to Sections 5(a) and
(b), respectively, excluding any Late Payment Fees paid pursuant to Section
5(b).


<PAGE>

6.   SECURITY INTEREST

Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to the Buyer of
the Purchased Securities and not loans from the Buyer to the Seller secured by
the Purchased Securities.  However, in order to preserve the Buyer's rights
under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes
the Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the performance by
Seller of all of Seller's obligations to Buyer under this Agreement and the
Transactions entered into pursuant to this Agreement, Seller grants to Buyer a
first priority security interest in all of the Purchased Securities with respect
to all Transactions hereunder and all proceeds thereof, all securities, notes,
mortgages, monies or other property of Seller, and all distributions thereon and
proceeds thereof, whenever the same is held or carried by or for Buyer or its
Affiliates, or any of its agents, including property held or carried in accounts
maintained by GACC or its Affiliates at financial intermediaries (collectively,
the "COLLATERAL").  In addition, in the event any court, forum or regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over Seller were to determine that the Underlying
Mortgage Loans (or any beneficial interest therein or payment or payments
thereunder) are the property of Seller, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged
to Buyer as security for the performance of Seller of its obligations under each
such Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted Buyer a first priority
security interest in, such mortgage loans and all related servicing agreements,
servicing records, insurance, income, custodial accounts, escrow accounts, and
any other contract rights, general intangibles and other assets relating to such
mortgage loans.

7.   PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a)  Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds
hereunder shall be in immediately available funds.

(b)  Subject to Section 7(c), on the Purchase Date for each Transaction,
ownership of the Purchased Securities shall be transferred to the Buyer against
the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller
specified in the Confirmation.  Seller, simultaneously with the delivery to the
Buyer of the Purchased Securities relating to each Transaction hereby sells,
transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer without recourse, but subject to the
terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to
the Purchased Securities together with all right, title and interest in and to
the proceeds of any related insurance policies.

(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall
have no obligation to purchase any Securities on any Purchase Date if, after
such purchase:

     (i)  an Event of Default by the Seller will have occurred and be
     continuing, or an Event of Default by the Seller would occur with notice or
     the passing of time;


<PAGE>

     (ii) the Repurchase Date for such Transaction would be later than April 1,
     1996; or

     (iii)   the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Securities for all
     Transactions not then terminated would exceed the Facility Amount.

(d)  All Securities transferred from Seller to Buyer (i) shall be in suitable
form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of
transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party
receiving possession may reasonable request, (ii) shall be transferred on the
book-entry system of a Federal Reserve bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by
any other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.  As used herein with
respect to Securities, "transfer" is intended to have the same meaning as when
used in Section 8-313 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or, where
applicable, in any federal regulation governing transfers of Securities.  With
respect to any transfer pursuant to Section 7(d)(i), physical documents shall be
delivered and released to the Custodian.

(e)  Any cash held by Buyer or its designee as Additional Collateral shall be
deposited in an interest bearing account.  The interest on such cash shall
accrue for the benefit of Seller and shall be held by Buyer or its designee as
Additional Collateral.

(f)  Buyer and Seller agree that at no time shall the Average Market Value (as
determined by the current face amount of the Purchased Securities, but in other
respects complying with the definition of Average Market Value and Market Value,
as used herein) be less than $3,000,000.  If for any reason the Average Market
Value is less than $3,000,000, the Pricing Rate for each outstanding Transaction
shall be increased by five (5) basis points for the period during which the
Average Market Value is less than $3,000,000.

8.   HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED SECURITIES

Title to all Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free
and unrestricted use of all Purchased Securities.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased
Securities or otherwise pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating
the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its
obligations to transfer the Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Section
3.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any
Purchased Securities delivered to Buyer by Seller.



<PAGE>

9.   SUBSTITUTION

(a)  Subject to Section 9(b), Seller may, upon fifteen (15) Business Days
written notice to Buyer, substitute other Securities for any Purchased
Securities, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the fifteen (15) Business Days written
notice requirement shall not apply to any substitution made (i) with respect to
any Purchased Security for which Seller receives written notice from Servicer
that the Underlying Mortgage Loan is in default or will be prepaid, or (ii) for
the purpose of satisfying a Collateral Deficit pursuant to Section 4(a).  Such
substitution shall be made by (i) the transfer to the Custodian of such
substituted Securities, and (ii) the transfer to Seller or its designee of the
Purchased Securities requested for release.  After substitution, the substituted
Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller may not
substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities if (i) Buyer does not
consent to such substitution, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
(ii) after taking into account such substitution, a Collateral Deficit were to
occur, and (iii) such substitution would impact or adversely affect Seller's
status as a "real estate investment trust."  Upon Buyer's reasonable request,
Seller shall deliver to Buyer an opinion of Arent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn
or other nationally recognized tax counsel that such substitution will not
impact or adversely affect Seller's status as a "real estate investment trust."

     any event has occurred that constitutes an Event of Default with respect to
     Seller or any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or
     both, would become an Event of Default with respect to Seller.

13.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     (a)  If any of the following events (each, an "EVENT OF DEFAULT") occur,
     the Seller and Buyer shall have the rights set forth in Section 14, as

          privileges, or operations of the Seller or any of its Affiliates,
          including suspension as an issuer or lender of mortgage loans, which

          corporate structure or financial condition or prospects of the Seller;
          (B) Seller will not meet any of its obligations under any Transaction
          pursuant to this Agreement, or any other agreement between the
          parties; or (C) a material adverse change in the financial or legal

          pendency of a material legal action against Seller or any of its
          Affiliates, and Seller fails to provide Buyer with adequate assurances
          (including without limitation performance guarantees), within 24 hours
          of a written request therefor, of its ability to perform its
          obligations hereunder or under any other agreement between the

          any and all amounts payable pursuant to Section 5(b);

          any agreement or transaction between Buyer or any of its Affiliates,
          or Seller or any of its Affiliates, or Seller or any of its Affiliates
          shall breach any covenant or condition in any agreement or transaction
          between Buyer or any of its Affiliates and Seller or any of its
          Affiliates, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such default, failure to
          perform or breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if Seller
          or any of its Affiliates cures such default, failure to perform or
          breach, as the case may be, within the grace period, if any, provided
          under the applicable agreement;

(xiii)   Seller fails to provide quarterly unaudited and annual audited

          reasonably request;

          pledged for purposes of collateral maintenance under such facilities
          and (iii) subordinated debt securities subject to master repurchase

          indebtedness pursuant to such repurchase agreements shall not exceed
          $50,000,000 and provided that the pledge of any other assets of Seller
          pursuant to such repurchase agreements shall not cause an Event of

(xvi)  Seller fails to maintain consolidated shareholders equity (computed in

          $100,000 is rendered against the Seller, and the same remains
          undischarged or unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days during which
          execution of such judgment is not effectively stayed;

<PAGE>

14.  REMEDIES

          (a)  If an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Seller, the
          following rights and remedies are available to the Buyer:

(i)  At the option of the Buyer, exercised by written notice to the Seller
          (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no
          notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of
          Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall
          be deemed immediately to occur.  Notwithstanding that the Repurchase
          Date shall be deemed immediately to have occurred upon the exercise or
          deemed exercise of such option by the Buyer, for purposes of
          determining the Repurchase Price, the Repurchase Date shall be the
          date specified in the Confirmation for such Transaction.

(ii) If the Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred
          to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A)  the Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Securities
          in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and
          payable,

(B)  to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with
          respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate
          amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis
          for the actual number of days during the period from and including the
          date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but
          excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased,
          (x) the greater of the Prime Rate or the Pricing Rate for each such
          Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such
          Transaction (decreased as of any day by (I) any amounts actually in
          the possession of Buyer pursuant to clause (C) of this subsection,
          (II) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Securities applied to the
          Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(ix) of this Section, and
          (III) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to
          subsection (a)(iii) of this Section), and

(C)  all Income and payments actually received by the Buyer pursuant to Sections
          5(a) and (b), excluding any Late Payment Fees paid pursuant to Section
          5(b), shall be applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price owed
          by the Seller.

(iii)    After one Business Day's notice to the Seller with respect to an Event
               of Default relating to a failure by Seller to make a required


<PAGE>

               payment pursuant to this Agreement, or after three Business Day's
               notice to Seller in connection with any other Event of Default
               (which notice need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall
               have occurred, and which may be the notice given under subsection
               (a)(i) of this Section), the Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a
               public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at
               such price or prices as the Buyer may reasonably deem
               satisfactory any or all Purchased Securities subject to a
               Transaction hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in
               lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to
               give the Seller credit for such Purchased Securities in an amount
               equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities against the
               aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by
               the Seller hereunder.  The proceeds of any disposition of
               Purchased Securities shall be applied first to the costs and
               expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with the Seller's
               default; second to consequential damages, including but not
               limited to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions,
               PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall act in good faith and in a
               timely manner to mitigate damages to the extent practicable;
               third to the Repurchase Price; and fourth to any other
               outstanding obligation of the Seller to the Buyer or its
               Affiliates.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all
               of the Purchased Securities on a particular Business Day, or in a
               transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner
               because the market for such Purchased Securities may not be
               liquid.  In view of the nature of the Purchased Securities, the
               parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying
               Purchased Securities does not require a public purchase or sale
               and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to
               have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Accordingly,
               Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of
               liquidating any Purchased PC and nothing contained herein shall
               (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased PC on the
               occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased
               Securities in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B)
               constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.  However, in
               recognition of the parties' agreement that the Transactions
               hereunder have been entered into in consideration of and in
               reliance upon the


<PAGE>

               fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business
               and contractual relationship and that each Transaction has been
               entered into in consideration of the other Transactions, the
               parties further agree that Buyer shall use its best efforts to
               liquidate all Transactions hereunder upon the occurrence of an
               Event of Default as quickly as is prudently possible in the
               reasonable judgment of Buyer.

(v)  Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all expenses,
               including reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by Buyer in
               connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, and
               (B) consequential damages including, without limitation, all
               costs incurred in connection with hedging or covering
               transactions, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer shall act in good
               faith and in a timely manner to mitigate damages to the extent
               practicable.

(vi) Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies provided herein, provided by
               applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including,
               without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party
               under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, to
               the extent that the Uniform Commercial Code is applicable, and
               the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and
               under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller.

(vii)   Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer
               immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and,
               except to the extent provided in subsections (a)(i) and (iii) of
               this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller.
            All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended
               from time-to-time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of
               any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(viii)   In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to
               proceed against any assets of Seller which may be in the
               possession of Buyer or its designee, including the right to
               liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds against monies
               owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.  Buyer may
               set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased
               Securities, any Collateral or its proceeds, and all other sums or
               obligations owed by Seller to Buyer against all of Seller's
               obligations to Buyer, whether under this


<PAGE>

               Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement
               between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such
               obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer's right to
               recover any deficiency.  Any cash, proceeds, or property in
               excess of any amounts due, or which Buyer reasonably believes may
               become due, to it from Seller shall be returned to Seller after
               satisfaction of all obligations of Seller to Buyer.

(ix) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial
               process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any
               defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce
               its rights by judicial process.  Seller also waives any defense
               Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial
               process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the
               Collateral, or from any other election of remedies, except that
               Seller does not waive any defense it might have that the
               Collateral was not sold in a commercially reasonable manner.
               Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with
               the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity
               and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.

     (b)  If an Event of Default occurs with respect to Buyer, the following
     rights and remedies are available to the Seller:

(i)  Upon tender by the Seller of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price for
               all such Transactions, the Buyer's right, title and interest in
               all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be
               deemed transferred to the Seller, and the Buyer shall deliver all
               such Purchased Securities to the Seller or its designee at
               Buyer's expense.

(ii) If the Seller exercises the option referred to in subsection (b)(i) of this
               Section and the Buyer fails to deliver the Purchased Securities
               to the Seller or its designee, after one Business Day's notice to
               the Buyer, the Seller may (A) purchase securities ("REPLACEMENT
               SECURITIES") of the same class and amount as any Purchased
               Securities that are not delivered by the Buyer to the Seller or
               its designee as required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion
               elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed
               to have purchased Replacement Securities at a price therefor on
               such date, equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities.


<PAGE>

(iii)   The Buyer shall be liable to the Seller (A) with respect to Purchased
               Securities (other than Additional Collateral), for any excess of
               the price paid (or deemed paid) by the Seller for Replacement
               Securities therefor over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
             Securities and (B) with respect to Additional Collateral, for the
               price paid (or deemed paid) by the Seller for the Replacement
               Securities therefor.  In addition, the Buyer shall be liable to
               the Seller for interest on such remaining liability with respect
               to each such purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement
               Securities from the date of such purchase (or deemed purchase)
               until paid in full by Buyer.  Such interest shall be at the
               greater of the Pricing Rate or the Prime Rate.



<PAGE>

15.  RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

     Buyer and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to
     time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between
     its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions,
     provided, however, such right to record communications shall be limited to
     communications of employees taking place on the trading floor of Buyer
     and/or Seller.  Buyer and Seller consent to the admissibility of such tape
     recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings.  The parties
     agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall
     be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties' agreement.

16.  SINGLE AGREEMENT

     Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter
     into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon
     the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
     contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in
     consideration of the other Transactions.  Accordingly, each of Buyer and
     Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each
     Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
     obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions
     hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and
     apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against
     obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder
     and (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of
     them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in
     consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of
     any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such
     payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other
     and netted.

17.  NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

     (a)  Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective party
     to whom any written notice or other communication is to be given hereunder,
     all such notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed in
     writing and delivered at the respective addresses set forth in the
     Confirmation, except as provided in Section 4(c).  All demands, notices and
     communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed,
     by overnight courier, registered or certified mail, return receipt
     requested, or, if by other means, when received by the other party.  Any
     such demand, notice or communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been
     received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the
     addresses (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by
     the date noted on the return receipt).

     (b)  Buyer shall be authorized to accept orders and take any other action
     affecting any accounts of the Seller in response to instructions given in
     writing or orally by telephone or otherwise by any person set forth in
     Exhibit II hereto, and the Seller shall indemnify Buyer, defend, and hold
     Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses,


<PAGE>

     damages, costs, and expenses of any nature arising out of or in connection
     with any action taken by Buyer in response to such instructions received or
     reasonably believed to have been received from the Seller.  From time to
     time, Seller may, by delivering to Buyer a revised exhibit, change the
     information previously given pursuant to this Section, but the Buyer shall
     be entitled to rely conclusively on the current exhibit until receipt of
     the superseding exhibit.


<PAGE>

18.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

     This Agreement together with the Commitment Letter and the applicable
     Confirmation constitutes the entire understanding between Buyer and Seller
     with respect to the subject matter it covers and shall supersede any
     existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and
     conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased Securities.  By
     acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they have
     not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations,
     promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement.  Each provision
     and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any
     other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable
     notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or
     agreement.

19.  NON-ASSIGNABILITY

     The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under
     any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior
     written consent of the other party, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Buyer may
     assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and/or under any
     Transaction to an Affiliate that is subject to Deutsche Bank AG's
     "declaration of backing", without the prior written consent of the other
     party.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall
     be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their
     respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement express or
     implied, shall give to any person, other than the parties to this Agreement
     and their successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable
     right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

20.  GOVERNING LAW

     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
     YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

21.  CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION

     The parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the
     United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the
     parties irrevocably waiving any objection thereto.  If, for any reason,
     federal jurisdiction is not available, and only if federal jurisdiction is
     not available, the parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal
     jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the parties
     irrevocably waiving any objection thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
     two sentences, at either party's sole option exercisable at any time not
     later than thirty (30) days after an action or proceeding has been
     commenced, the parties agree that the matter may be submitted to binding
     arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American
     Arbitration Association then in effect in the State of New York and
     judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
     court having jurisdiction thereof


<PAGE>

     within the City, County and State of New York, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
     arbitrator shall not amend, supplement, or reform in any regard this
     Agreement or the terms of any Confirmation, the rights or obligations of
     any party hereunder or thereunder, or the enforceability of any of the
     terms hereof or thereof.  Any arbitration shall be conducted before a
     single arbitrator who shall be reasonably familiar with repurchase
     transactions and the secondary mortgage market in the City, County, and
     State of New York.

22.  NO WAIVERS, ETC.

     No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall
     constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any
     remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to
     exercise any other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any
     provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure
     herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and
     duly executed by both of the parties hereto.  Any such waiver or
     modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
     specific purpose for which it was given.



<PAGE>

23.  INTENT

     The parties understand and intend that this Agreement and each Transaction
     hereunder constitute a "repurchase agreement" as that term is defined in
     Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

24.  DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

     The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that in the case of
     Transactions in which one of the parties is an "insured depository
     institution" as that term is defined in Section 1831(a) of Title 12 of the
     United States Code, as amended, funds held by the financial institution
     pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not
     insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings
     Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.

25.  NETTING

     If Buyer and Seller are "financial institutions" as now or hereinafter
     defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code ("SECTION
     4402") and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder:

     (a)  All amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the
     other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to
     be "payment obligations" and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of
     one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder
     shall be deemed to be "payment entitlements" within the meaning of Section
     4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a "netting contract" as
     defined in Section 4402.

     (b)  The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties
     hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be
     netted as follows.  In the event that either party (the "DEFAULTING PARTY")
     shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any
     Transaction hereunder, the other party (the "NONDEFAULTING PARTY") shall be
     entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the
     Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment
     obligation that the Defaulting Party failed to honor.

26.  MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)  Time is of the essence under this agreement and all Transactions and
     all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of
     the action unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

     (b)  If there is any conflict between the terms of a Confirmation or a
     corrected Confirmation issued by the Buyer and this Agreement, the
     Confirmation shall prevail.


<PAGE>

     (c)  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so
     executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts
     shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     (d)  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
     and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
                    [THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement as of the
date set forth above.

          Re:  Sale by CRIIMI MAE Inc. (the "SELLER") of certain FHA mortgage
               loans (the "FHA LOANS") and certain GNMA securities (the "GNMA
               SECURITIES") to German American Capital Corporation (the "BUYER")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with the above-referenced transaction, and in
consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Buyer and the Seller hereby agree as follows:

1.   On the date hereof  (the "CLOSING DATE") the Seller has sold certain FHA
     Loans to the Buyer pursuant to that certain Committed Master Repurchase
     Agreement Governing Purchases and Sales of Participation Certificates,
     dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the Seller and the Buyer (the
     "FHA REPURCHASE AGREEMENT").

2.   On the Closing Date the Seller has failed to sell any GNMA Securities which
     Seller was required to sell to Buyer pursuant to that certain Commitment
     Letter, by Buyer to Seller, dated as of January 19, 1995 (the "COMMITMENT
     LETTER") and Committed Master Repurchase Agreement, by and between Buyer
     and Seller, dated as of the Closing Date (the "GNMA REPURCHASE AGREEMENT").

3.   The Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the failure of Seller to
     sell and deliver GNMA Securities to the Buyer on the Closing Date
     constitutes a breach of a material covenant of the Commitment Letter, and
     an Event of Default (the "BREACH AND DEFAULT") under each of the GNMA
     Repurchase Agreement and the FHA Repurchase Agreement (the Commitment
     Letter, the GNMA Repurchase Agreement and the FHA Repurchase Agreement are
     collectively referred to as the "OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS"), and without
     waiving any of its rights or remedies under the Operative Agreements, the
     Buyer has consummated the Transaction with respect to the FHA Loans as
     contemplated under the FHA Repurchase Agreement.  Without waiving any of
     its rights or remedies under the
<PAGE>

     Operating Agreements, the Buyer shall refrain from exercising any of its
     rights or remedies under the Operative Agreements in connection with the
     Breach and Default until January 27, 1995.

4.   Seller hereby agrees to deliver to the Buyer GNMA Securities in accordance
     with the requirements of the Commitment Letter and the GNMA Repurchase
     Agreement on or before January 27, 1995.

5.   In the event that Seller fails to perform the covenant set forth in
     paragraph 4 above, Buyer may exercise all rights and remedies available to
     it pursuant to the Operative Agreements, provided that an Event of Default
     shall be deemed to have occurred and all notice requirements with respect
     thereto shall be deemed to have been given as of the Closing Date.

6.   THE SELLER SHALL KEEP CONFIDENTIAL AND SHALL NOT DIVULGE TO ANY PARTY THE
     SUBSTANCE OF THIS LETTER, WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE BUYER, EXCEPT
     TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SELLER TO DO SO IN WORKING WITH
     LEGAL COUNSEL, AUDITORS, TAXING AUTHORITIES OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.
     IN THE EVENT THAT THE BUYER DIVULGES TO ANY PARTY THE SUBSTANCE OF THIS
     LETTER, THE BUYER SHALL KEEP CONFIDENTIAL AND SHALL NOT DIVULGE TO ANY
     PARTY THE FACT THAT THE SELLER IS A PARTY TO THIS LETTER, WITHOUT THE
     WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE SELLER, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS NECESSARY
     FOR THE SELLER TO DO SO IN WORKING WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AUDITORS, TAXING
     AUTHORITIES OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.

7.   Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective
     meanings assigned to them in the Operative Agreements.

8.   This letter shall survive the Closing Date and shall not merge into the
     closing documents but instead shall be independently enforceable by the
     parties hereto.

9.   This letter shall not be assigned by the Seller without the prior written
     consent of the Buyer, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the
     sole discretion of the Buyer.

10.  This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which
     shall constitute one and the same instrument, and either party hereto may
     execute this letter by signing any such counterpart.

11.  THIS LETTER SHALL BE DEEMED IN EFFECT WHEN A FULLY EXECUTED COUNTERPART
     THEREOF IS RECEIVED BY THE BUYER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE
