Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Agreement by and among Bear, Stearns Funding, Inc. (“Buyer”), Capital Trust, Inc. and CT BSI Funding Corp.

1.             Buyer’s Margin Ratio:  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties (which agreement shall be memorialized in writing in the related Confirmation), the Purchase Price on any Purchase Date prior to the Commitment Expiration Date shall be equal to the product of the Market Value of the Purchased Assets and the applicable Buyer’s Margin Ratio listed in the chart below.

2.             Upsize Purchase Fee:  The Upsize Purchase Fee shall be a one-time, up front amount, to be paid by Sellers on the initial Purchase Date, equal to (i) the product of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) a fraction equal to the number of days between the date hereof and the Commitment Expiration Date, divided by 1,095, and (ii) [****]% less any Upsize Purchase Fee paid under the Bear, Stearns International Limited Repurchase Agreement.

All loan to value ratios are determined by a third-party appraiser mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers.  If an Eligible Asset is a hotel, the Buyer’s Margin Ratio and the Pricing Rate may change as agreed to by the parties.

4.             Sellers must enter into Transactions with respect to at least three (3) Eligible Assets within six (6) months of the initial Purchase Date (the “Required Transactions”) in order to maintain the Buyer’s Margin Ratios set forth above.  Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to reduce the applicable Buyer’s Margin Ratios by ten percent (10%) in the event that Sellers enter into Transactions with respect to one (1) or two (2) Eligible Assets.

 5.            If Buyer exercises its right to reduce the Buyer’s Margin Ratio as provided in paragraph 3 above within six (6) months prior to the Commitment Expiration Date and a Seller elects to effect an Early Repurchase Date after Buyer has exercised such right, then no Exit Fee shall be due or payable with respect to such Early Repurchase Date.

The terms of this Upsize Letter Agreement shall supersede all prior Upsize Letter Agreements between the parties.  The terms and provisions set forth in this Upsize Letter Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Agreement.  Any agreement by Buyer to extend the term of the Agreement shall not thereby extend any of the terms and provisions set forth herein with respect to any Transactions entered into on or after any renewal of the Agreement, unless expressly agreed to by Buyer.

This Upsize Letter Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

This Upsize Letter Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.




In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions contained herein and the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Upsize Letter Agreement shall govern.
