(“RG II”, and together with RSA , the “Related Parties”).

Preliminary Statement

The Related Parties hold the following securities issued by the Centerline Parties:

•

11% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, Series A-1 issued by Centerline (the “11% Preferred Shares”) — held by RSA;

•

Special Preferred Voting Shares issued by Centerline (the “SPV Shares”) - held by RG II; and

•

Special Common Units issued by CCC (the “SCUs”) — held by RG II

Centerline has advised the Related Parties that it expects to enter into a purchase and sale agreement, by and among C-III Capital Partners LLC (“Newco”), on the one hand, and Centerline and certain of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, pursuant to which Newco will acquire (i) Centerline’s assets comprising the former ARCap Investors LLC (“ARCap”) business and certain other assets and (ii) newly issued Special Series A Shares (as defined below) representing an approximately twenty percent (20%) fully diluted ownership interest in Centerline, for an aggregate purchase price equal to (a) approximately $50,000,000 in cash and (b) the assumption of approximately $60,000,000 of Centerline’s senior secured debt obligations (the “Island Sale”). In addition, Centerline will enter into various agreements with certain of its lenders, creditors and claimants to restructure certain of its other outstanding debt obligations and a management agreement with an affiliate of Newco pursuant to which such affiliate will provide executive management services to Centerline (the “Restructuring”, and together with the Island Sale, the “Transaction”). The expected terms of the Transaction, including the Restructuring, are summarized on Schedule III hereto (the “Transaction Summary”).

Reclassification/Trust Amendment. As a condition to consummating the Transaction, Centerline must effectuate a recapitalization with respect to the following shares (the “Existing Preferred Shares”): (i) the outstanding 4.4% Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Community Reinvestment Act Preferred Shares, Series A-1 (the “4.4% CRA Preferred Shares”), Convertible Community Reinvestment Act Preferred Shares (the “CRA Preferred Shares”), Series A Convertible Community Reinvestment Act Preferred Shares (the “Series A CRA Preferred Shares” and together with the 4.4% CRA Preferred Shares and the CRA Preferred Shares, the “Existing CRA Preferred Shares”); and (ii) the outstanding 11% Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) below, referred to as the “Recapitalization”), the Existing Preferred Shares and the 11% Preferred Shares will:

(i) except as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below with respect to the 4.4% CRA Preferred Shares, if applicable, and the 11% Preferred Shares be surrendered to Centerline and cancelled in exchange for the issuance by Centerline of Special Series A Shares (the “Special Series A Shares”), with the rights and privileges set forth in the certificate of designation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Special Series A COD”),

(ii) at Centerline’s option, and in its sole and absolute discretion, in the case of the 4.4% CRA Preferred Shares, be reclassified into Special Series A Shares by means of an amendment to the certificate of designation of the 4.4% CRA Preferred Shares (the “4.4% COD”) that amends and restates the 11.0% COD in its entirety as provided in the Special Series A COD (the “4.4% COD Amendment”), and

(iii) in the case of the 11% Preferred Shares, be reclassified into Special Series A Shares (the “Reclassification”) by means of an amendment to the certificate of designation of the 11% Preferred Shares (the “11.0% COD”) that amends and restates the 11.0% COD in its entirety as provided in the Special Series A COD, substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “11% COD Amendment”).

Following the Recapitalization, Centerline will seek to amend its current Trust Agreement (as defined below) to increase the number of shares of Centerline authorized for issuance (the “Trust Amendment”) to permit the automatic conversion of the Special Series A Shares into the appropriate number of Common Shares (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Special Series A COD, the 4.4% COD Amendment, if applicable, and the 11% COD Amendment.

RSA is the holder of 11% Preferred Shares in the number set forth on Schedule I hereto, representing approximately ninety-seven percent (97%) of the issued and outstanding 11% Preferred Shares. RSA (i) desires to approve and consent to the Reclassification pursuant to the 11% COD Amendment and to have its 11% Preferred Shares reclassified into the number of Special Series A Shares set forth on Schedule I hereto and (ii) agrees to approve and consent to the Trust Amendment (and to grant an irrevocable proxy to Centerline, or any person designated by Centerline, to vote its Special Series A Shares in favor thereof) in accordance with terms set forth herein.

SPV Amendment. In addition, RG II (an affiliate of RSA) is the holder of SPV Shares in the number set forth on Schedule II hereto. In connection with the Transaction and the Recapitalization, RG II desires to amend the certificate of designation of the SPV Shares in substantially the form of amendment attached hereto as Exhibit C to, among other matters, eliminate the right of the holders of the SPVs to nominate and/or elect certain trustees to Centerline’s board of trustees (the “SPV COD Amendment”) and therefore desires to approve and consent to the SPV COD Amendment and (and grant an irrevocable proxy to Centerline, or any person designated by Centerline, to vote such SPV Shares in favor thereof) in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

Release. In connection with the Transaction, Centerline, on the one hand, and the Related Parties and The Related Companies, L.P. (“TRCLP”), on the other, have agreed to mutually release each other from certain losses and claims they may have against the other.

SCU Amendment. In addition, RG II is the holder of SCUs in the number set forth on Schedule II hereto. In connection with the Transaction and the Recapitalization, RG II has agreed to amend the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of CCC (the “CCC Operating Agreement”) in substantially the form of amendment attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “CCC Operating Agreement Amendment”) to eliminate (x) the distribution tax gross-up (i.e., the Preferred Return as defined in the CCC Operating Agreement) and provide that the distribution on each SCU will be equal in amount to any dividend paid on each Common Share and (y) Centerline’s obligation to contribute the Quarterly Distribution Shortfall (as defined in the CCC Operating Agreement).

NOL Lock-Up Agreement. In connection with the Restructuring, Centerline must also enter into certain protective measures to prevent Centerline from experiencing an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and compromising its ability to use its net operating losses (“NOLs”). Centerline views its NOLs as a valuable asset of Centerline, which is likely to inure to the benefit of Centerline and its shareholders, and Centerline believes that it is in the best interests of Centerline and its shareholders to provide for the protection of Centerline’s NOLs. RSA and RG II understand and agree with this view.

In connection therewith, and as a condition to consummating the Transaction, Centerline will adopt a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “NOL Preservation Plan”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. As a further protective measure, Centerline must enter into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F with certain holders (the “Existing Holders”) of shares of beneficial interest in Centerline (which includes RSA and RG II and their beneficial owners) who, as of the effective date of the NOL Preservation Plan, individually own 4.75% or more of such shares then outstanding together with any Affiliates and Associates (in each case, as defined in the Lock-Up Agreements) of such holder.

Advisory Agreement; ROFO/ROFR Rights. As part of the Restructuring, TRCLP Affordable Acquisitions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of both RSA and RG II (“TRCLP Affordable”), will enter into a Consulting and Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), with Centerline Capital Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Centerline, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G pursuant to which TRCLP Affordable will perform consulting and advisory services for Centerline in consideration for which Centerline will grant TRCLP Affordable, among other things, rights of first refusal and rights of first offer (the “ROFO/ROFR Rights”) with respect to certain Tax Credit Properties and Tax Credit Equity Interests (in each case, as defined in the Advisory Agreement).

Debt Assumption. In consideration of the ROFO/ROFR Rights, TRCLP Affordable has agreed to incur five million dollars ($5,000,000) of Centerline’s senior secured debt that will

remain outstanding following the Restructuring pursuant to a loan agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Related Loan Agreement”).

Amendment Agreement. In addition to the agreements contemplated by the Transaction, Centerline and RSA entered into a Settlement Agreement dated April 8, 2009 (the “Settlement Agreement”) in connection with the settlement of Carfagno v. Schnitzer, 08-CV-912(SAS) (S.D.N.Y.) and other related lawsuits (the “Settlement”) pursuant to which RSA agreed to waive (the “Waiver”) certain of its rights under the Certificate of Designation for the 11.0% Preferred Shares (the “11% Certificate of Designation”) with respect to the dividend rate and conversion price for the 11.0% Preferred Shares that RSA holds (the “RSA Shares”). On May 18, 2009, the court having jurisdiction over the Settlement (the “Court”) issued its Order and Final Judgment (the “Order”) approving the Settlement, including the Waiver, but such Order is not effective until the dismissal of the actions Off v. Ross, et al, Civ. A. No. 3468-VCP (Del. Ch.) and Ciszerk v. Ross, Civ. A. No. 3511-VCP (Del. Ch.) (the “Dismissal”). In order to implement the Waiver and in accordance with the amendment provisions of the 11% Certificate of Designation contained in Section 5(c)(i)(ii) thereof, Centerline and RSA have agreed to amend in its entirety the 11% Certificate of Designation pursuant to the Amendment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Amendment Agreement”).
