| ·   | interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates; |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which we seek protection; |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability; |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than through taxable REIT subsidiaries) to offset interest rate losses may be limited by U.S. federal income tax provisions governing REITs; |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction; |
|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay; |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | the value of derivatives used for hedging may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in fair value, and downward adjustments, or “mark-to-market losses,” would reduce our shareholders’ equity and book value; and |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | hedge accounting under GAAP is extremely complex and any ineffectiveness of our hedges under GAAP will impact our statement of operations. |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

----

| ·   | If we make frequent asset sales from our REIT entities to persons deemed customers, we could be viewed as a “dealer,” and thus subject to 100% prohibited transaction taxes or other entity level taxes on income from such transactions. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Compliance with the REIT income and asset requirements may limit the type or extent of hedging that we can undertake. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

| ·   | Our ability to own non-real estate related assets and earn non-real estate related income is limited.  Our ability to own equity interests in other entities is limited.  If we fail to comply with these limits, we may be forced to liquidate attractive assets on short notice on unfavorable terms in order to maintain our REIT status. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Our ability to invest in taxable subsidiaries is limited under the REIT rules.  Maintaining compliance with this limitation could require us to constrain the growth of future taxable REIT affiliates. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Notwithstanding our NOL carryforward, meeting minimum REIT dividend distribution requirements could reduce our liquidity.  Earning non-cash REIT taxable income could necessitate our selling assets, incurring debt, or raising new equity in order to fund dividend distributions. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Stock ownership tests may limit our ability to raise significant amounts of equity capital from one source. |

| (1) | As the master servicer for certain of the series of non-recourse securitization financing securities which we have issued, and certain loans which have been securitized but for which we are not the master servicer, we have an obligation to advance scheduled principal and interest on delinquent loans in accordance with the underlying servicing agreements should the primary servicer of the loan fail to make such advance.  Such advance amounts are generally repaid in the same month as they are made or shortly thereafter, and so the contractual obligation with respect to these advances is excluded from the above table.  As of December 31, 2010, outstanding servicing advances were $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million as of December 31, 2009. |

Payments due by period were estimated based on the principal repayments forecast for the underlying loans and securities, substantially all of which is used to repay the associated financing outstanding. |

| ·   | Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.  Our investments included in Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. |
|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.  Fair valued assets and liabilities that are generally included in this category are Agency MBS, which are valued based on the average of multiple dealer quotes that are active in the Agency MBS market, and interest rate swaps, which are valued using a third-party pricing service, and the valuations are tested with internally developed models that apply readily observable market variables. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.  Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.  Generally, assets and liabilities carried at fair value and included in this category are non-Agency MBS, delinquent property tax receivables and the obligation under payment agreement liability. |
