SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE dated as of June 30, 1998
(this "Note") made by CAPITAL TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Borrower"),
to XXXXXX XXXXXXX & CO. INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ("Lender") in substitution for,

(the "Original Loan Agreement") between Borrower and Lender.

---------------------
Borrower and Lender have entered into that certain Amended and Restated
CMBS Loan Agreement dated as of February 8, 2001 as amended pursuant to that
certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated CMBS Loan Agreement dated as of
July 16, 2001 (as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in
effect from time to time, collectively, the "Loan Agreement"). In connection
therewith, Borrower has agreed to enter into this Note in substitution for, and
replacement of, the Original Note.
NOW THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower hereby promises to pay to
the order of Lender, at the principal office of Lender at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, in lawful money of the United States, and in immediately
available funds, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
($100,000,000.00) (or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans made by Lender to Borrower under the Loan
Agreement), on the dates and in the principal amounts provided in the Loan
Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each such Loan,
at such office, in like money and funds, for the period commencing on the date
of such Loan until such Loan shall be paid in full, at the rates per annum and
on the dates provided in the Loan Agreement.
The date, amount and interest rate of each Loan made by Lender to
Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be
recorded by Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note,
endorsed by Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof;
provided, that the failure of Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement
shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any
amount owing under the Loan Agreement or hereunder in respect of the Loans made
by Lender.
This Note is the Note referred to in the Loan Agreement and evidences
Loans made by Lender thereunder. Terms used but not defined in this Note have
the respective meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.
This Note amends and restates in its entirety the Original Note and is
given as a continuation and extension, and not a novation, release or
satisfaction, of the Original Note. The
A-1
issuance and delivery of this Note does not create or evidence any principal
indebtedness other than the principal indebtedness evidenced by the Original
Note. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that simultaneously with
Borrower's execution and delivery of this Note to Lender, Lender has delivered
to Borrower the Original Note.
Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that, as of the date
hereof, (a) Borrower has no cause of action at law or in equity against Lender
(including, without limitation, any offset, defense, deduction or counterclaim)
with respect to any of such obligations and (b) the principal amount due and
owing under this Note is $1,667,966.10.
Borrower agrees to pay all Lender's costs of collection and enforcement
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements of Lender's counsel) in
respect of this Note when incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees through appellate proceedings.
Notwithstanding the pledge of the Collateral, Borrower hereby
acknowledges, admits and agrees that Borrower's obligations under this Note are
recourse obligations of Borrower to which Borrower pledges its full faith and
credit.
Borrower, and any endorsers or guarantors hereof, (a) severally waive
diligence, presentment, protest and demand and also notice of protest, demand,
dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, (b) expressly agree that this Note, or any
payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time, and consent to the
acceptance of further Collateral, the release of any Collateral for this Note,
the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (c)
expressly agree that it will not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce
payment of this Note, to first institute or exhaust Lender's remedies against
Borrower or any other party liable hereon or against any Collateral for this
Note. No extension of time for the payment of this Note, or any installment
hereof, made by agreement by Lender with any person now or hereafter liable for
the payment of this Note, shall affect the liability under this Note of
Borrower, even if Borrower is not a party to such agreement; provided, however,
that Lender and Borrower, by written agreement between them, may affect the
liability of Borrower.
A-2
Any reference herein to Lender shall be deemed to include and apply to
every subsequent holder of this Note. Reference is made to the Loan Agreement
for provisions concerning optional and mandatory prepayments, Collateral,
acceleration and other material terms affecting this Note.
This Note shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
State of New York (without reference to choice of law doctrine) whose laws
Borrower expressly elects to apply to this Note. Borrower agrees that any action
or proceeding brought to enforce or arising out of this Note may be commenced in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or in the
District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.
