The number of share units awarded to each trustee, which are convertible into an equal number of Class A Common Shares according to individual schedules set by each trustee, is determined quarterly in arrears by dividing one-quarter of the annual retainer amount ($7,500) by the average closing price of the Class A Common Shares for the quarter.

All trustees are also reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings. The Company is a party to a consulting agreement, dated as of July 15, 1997, with Gary R.

- ---------- (1) Represents shares underlying share options; none of the executive officers were granted SARs. One-third of the options become exercisable in equal increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. (2) The amounts of potential realizable value, which are based on assumed appreciation rates of 5% and 10% prescribed by Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") rules, are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of the Company's share price. The amounts of potential value with respect to the options do not account for expiration of the options upon termination of employment or the phased-in exercise schedule. Future compensation resulting from the options is based solely on the actual performance of the Company's share price in the trading market. 709766.3 -8- The following chart shows the 1997 year-end value of the share options held by the named executive officers. None of the named executive officers exercised share options during 1997. Year End 1997 Option/SAR Values

The Veqtor Notes are convertible by the holders thereof into preferred units of Veqtor ("Veqtor Preferred Units") at a rate of $55.59 per unit from and after the earlier of July 15, 2000, the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Veqtor or the sale of any or all of Veqtor's Company Shares. The Veqtor Preferred Units may be redeemed by the holders thereof in exchange for a portion of Veqtor's Company Shares at any time after six months from the date of conversion of the Veqtor Notes into such units. Veqtor and the institutional lenders have reached an understanding, subject to completion of definitive documentation, that would provide for, among other things, the early conversion of the Veqtor Notes into Veqtor Preferred Units on the date of execution of such documentation. The proposed arrangement provides that the Veqtor Preferred Units would be redeemable for a portion of the Company Shares at any time from and after the earlier of July 15, 1999 or the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Veqtor. Pursuant to the proposed arrangement, if all Veqtor Preferred Units were redeemed by the holders thereof for Company Shares on July 16, 1999, the institutional lenders would receive in exchange for their units an aggregate of 9,648,946 of the Company Shares owned by Veqtor; if all Veqtor Preferred Units were redeemed by the Company prior to July 15, 2000, the institutional lenders would receive in exchange for their units an aggregate of 9,899,710 of the Company Shares owned by Veqtor. In addition, in connection with the Offering, CTILP, V2 and Veqtor agreed with the Company that upon either the redemption for cash of the Veqtor Notes or the conversion of the Veqtor Notes into Veqtor Preferred Units, and in the latter case, the subsequent redemption of all such units in exchange for a specified portion of Veqtor's Company Shares, Veqtor shall convert the remaining Class A Preferred Shares owned by it into Class A Common Shares. CTILP, V2 and Veqtor also agreed that Veqtor shall redeem the Veqtor Preferred Units on the earliest date upon which Veqtor has the right to effect such redemption. (4) Beneficial ownership information is based on the Schedule 13G jointly filed by FMR Corp. ("FMR"), Edward C. Johnson 3rd, Abigail P. Johnson, Fidelity Management and Research Company (the "FMR Advisor") and Fidelity Growth & Income Fund (the "FGI Fund") reporting ownership of shares by the FGI Fund and other funds advised by the FMR Advisor. FMR and the FMR Advisor are located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109. (5) Messrs. Zell, Klopp, Hatkoff and Garrabrant and Ms. Rosenberg hold indirect economic ownership interests in Veqtor equal to approximately 34.2%, 25%, 25%, 4.5% and 4.5%, respectively.

Buy/Sell Agreement Veqtor, CTILP, V2 and Messrs. Klopp and Hatkoff are parties to an agreement, dated July 15, 1997, that contains buy/sell provisions pursuant to which (i) one member of Veqtor may purchase from or sell to the other member its interests in Veqtor or (ii) one member of V2 or CTILP may purchase the other V2 member's interest in V2 (the "Buy/Sell Agreement"). Pursuant to the agreement, from and after July 15, 2000, either CTILP or V2 as the initiating party (the "Initiating Party") may initiate the buy/sell process by notifying (the "Buy/Sell Notice") the other party (the "Responding Party") of its desire either to sell for cash all of its Veqtor Common Units (as defined in the Buy/Sell Agreement) to the Responding Party or to purchase for cash all of the Veqtor Common Units owned by the Responding Party, in each case, at the per unit price specified by the Initiating Party (the "Specified Price"). Upon receipt of the Buy/Sell Notice, the Responding Party must within 150 days elect either to sell its Veqtor Common Units to the Initiating Party or purchase the Initiating Party's Veqtor Common Units at the Specified Price. If the Responding Party fails to respond to the Buy/Sell Notice, it shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Veqtor Common Units at the Specified Price. The Buy/Sell Agreement provides that upon the termination of employment (including through death or disability) with the Company of either John R. Klopp or Craig M. Hatkoff (the "Departing Person") other than by voluntary termination (the "Termination Event"), whomever of Messrs. Klopp or Hatkoff has not been the subject of the Termination Event (the "Remaining Person") shall have the right to purchase all of the interests in V2 then held by the Departing Person for cash at their fair market value as defined in the Buy/Sell Agreement ("Fair Market Value"). If the Remaining Person does not purchase the Departing Person's interest in V2, the Buy/Sell Agreement provides that CTILP shall have the right to purchase for cash from V2 50% of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2 at their fair market value, upon which purchase V2 shall distribute to the Departing Person (or his estate or representative) an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale reduced by 50% of V2's aggregate liabilities in full redemption of the interest in V2 then held by the Departing Person (or his estate or representative). If CTILP does not elect to purchase the Veqtor Common Units held by V2 pursuant to the foregoing, (i) Veqtor must distribute to V2 50% of its assets that V2 would be entitled to receive upon a liquidation of Veqtor (whereupon V2's economic interest in Veqtor shall be correspondingly reduced) and (ii) V2 must distribute to the Departing Person 50% of such assets reduced by 50% of V2's aggregate liabilities in full redemption of the Departing Person's interest in V2. Pursuant to the Buy/Sell Agreement, upon the voluntary termination of employment with the Company of either of Messrs. Klopp or Hatkoff (the "Voluntarily Departing Person"), CTILP shall have the right to purchase from V2 50% of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2 for cash at their fair market value, upon such purchase V2 shall distribute to the Voluntarily Departing Person an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale reduced by 50% of V2's aggregate liabilities in full redemption of the interest in V2 then held by the Voluntarily Departing Person. If CTILP does not purchase the Veqtor Common Units pursuant to the foregoing, the agreement provides that whomever of Messrs. Klopp or Hatkoff is not the Voluntarily Departing Person (the "Voluntarily Remaining Member") shall have the right to purchase all of the interest in V2 then held by the Voluntarily Departing Person for cash at its Fair Market Value. If the Voluntarily Remaining Member does not purchase from the Voluntarily Departing Person all of the interest in V2 then held by the Voluntarily Departing Person for cash at its Fair Market Value pursuant to the 709766.3 -12- foregoing, (i) Veqtor must distribute to V2 50% of its assets that V2 would be entitled to receive in a liquidation of Veqtor (whereupon V2's economic interest in Veqtor shall be correspondingly reduced) and (ii) V2 must distribute to the Voluntarily Departing Person 50% of such assets reduced by 50% of V2's aggregate liabilities in full redemption of the Voluntarily Departing Person's interest in V2. Pursuant to the Buy/Sell Agreement, upon the termination of employment with the Company of both Messrs. Klopp and Hatkoff, within any 30-day period, for any or no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, including, without limitation, by reason of death or disability, CTILP shall have the right to purchase from V2 all of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2 for cash at their Fair Market Value. If CTILP does not purchase the Veqtor Common Units pursuant to the foregoing, Veqtor shall distribute to V2 100% of its assets that V2 would be entitled to receive upon a liquidation of Veqtor in full redemption of 100% of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2. Pursuant to the Buy/Sell Agreement, upon the termination of employment with the Company of either of Messrs. Klopp or Hatkoff for any or no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, including, without limitation, by reason of his death or disability, following by more than 30 days the prior termination of employment with the Company of the other individual for any or no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, including, without limitation, by reason of his death or disability, CTILP shall have the right to purchase from V2 all of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2 for cash at their Fair Market Value. If CTILP does not purchase the Veqtor Common Units pursuant to the foregoing, Veqtor shall distribute to V2 100% of its assets that V2 would be entitled to receive upon a liquidation of Veqtor in full redemption of 100% of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2. The Buy/Sell Agreement prohibits the transfer of Veqtor Common Units and interests in V2 except to permitted transferees as defined in the agreement or pursuant to right of first refusal provision contained in the agreement. The Buy/Sell Agreement contains provisions governing the management of Veqtor. Pursuant to such provisions, in the event that V2 and CTILP do not hold the same number of Veqtor Common Units, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the operating agreement governing Veqtor (the "Veqtor Operating Agreement"), all matters to be determined by V2 and CTILP as the managing members of Veqtor shall be determined as between V2 and CTILP by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Veqtor Common Units then held by V2 and CTILP, and V2 and CTILP shall be bound to act on such matter as managing members in the manner determined by such vote. The agreement provides that no permitted transferee or other third party transferee shall be entitled to be appointed, or otherwise act as, a managing member of Veqtor. The Buy/Sell Agreement provides that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Veqtor Operating Agreement, as long as V2 and CTILP hold the same number of Veqtor Common Units, each shall be entitled to direct the nomination of an equal number of trustees/directors of the Company, and if Veqtor shall be entitled to nominate an odd number of trustees/directors, V2 and CTILP shall jointly select one of the trustee/director nominees. If V2 and CTILP do not hold the same number of Veqtor Common Units, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Veqtor Operating Agreement, V2 and CTILP each shall be entitled to direct the nomination of a number of trustees/directors equal to their relative percentage holdings of Veqtor Common Units multiplied by the total number of trustees/directors which Veqtor is then entitled to nominate (rounded to the nearest whole number). 709766.3 -13- ITEM 13.

The holders of such registrable securities will have the right to request that the Company prepare and file up to three registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any portion of such registrable securities. In addition, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement at any time, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts, upon Veqtor's and the other holders' request, to cause any shares held by Veqtor and the other holders to be included in such registration.
