expected to occur by December 20, 1995. GACC also consents to the pledge of

Funding Note, GACC waives compliance by CRIIMI with Section 13(a)(xv) of the
Facilities for the duration of this financing, such waiver not to be revoked by
GACC absent mutual consent of CRIIMI and GACC. These waivers are made only for
the purposes and periods stated and are made without prejudice to GACC's other

Upon receipt of the enclosed duplicate copy of this letter agreement, duly

1. Subclause (iii) in the exclusionary parenthetical in Section 13(a)(xv) of
each of the Facilities is amended by replacing the figure "$200 million"
