        <footnote id="F1">[This FN 1 carried forward unchanged from original Form 4] Received as result of pro rata distribution to all common stockholders of Crescent Operating, Inc. (including Reporting Person, RI, OT, CRUT and Reporting Person's spouse) pursuant to Plan of Reorganization of Crescent Operating, Inc. confirmed by US Bankruptcy Court.  Dates of actual receipt of shares vary from record holder to record holder due to procedures followed by Issuer's transfer agent, but date of earliest receipt February 15.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">In original Form 4, 17 shares received in this transaction were inadvertently omitted from this calculation; as result, Column 4 of original Form 4 showed acquistion by Reporting Person's spouse of aggregate of &quot;767&quot; shares instead of &quot;784&quot; shares and Column 5 of original Form 4 showed holdings by Reporting Person's spouse to be &quot;744,687&quot; shares instead of &quot;744,704&quot; shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">[FN 3 of original Form 4 unchanged]</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">49,864 shares attributed to spouse are held by general partnership of which spouse is a general partner and represent her proportional interest in Issuer securities held by general partnership.  Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of 744,704 shares and 259,805 Units owned (directly or indirectly) by spouse; this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.</footnote>
