 of their assets in real estate mortgages, receive principal and interest payments from the owners of the mortgage properties and derive their income primarily from interest payments. Accordingly, mortgage REITs are subject to the credit risk of the borrowers, which refers to the possibility that the borrower will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on the loan to the mortgage REIT when due. In the event of a default by a borrower, the mortgage REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments. Mortgage REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency and, as a result, are particularly reliant on the proper functioning of the capital markets. Further, mortgage REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and their investments may not be diversified. Mortgage REITs are also subject to risks related to general and local economic conditions and the real estate market specifically, availability of mortgage funds, changes in interest rates, changes in property values, and borrower prepayment on underlying mortgage loans. In addition, a mortgage REIT could fail to qualify for favorable tax or regulatory treatment. Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected to Be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes. The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Notes. The difference between the public offering price of your Notes and the estimated value of the Notes reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss. The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate. The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Notes generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements.
