Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a discussion of some of the factors that could adversely impact the returns received by the Company from the investments over time.  Substantially all of the Company’s borrowings under the Company's master
repurchase facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "JPMorgan Facility")
were repaid upon the closing of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock offering in August 2012.
The Company's ability to achieve its levered weighted average underwritten IRR is additionally
dependent upon the Company re-borrowing approximately $53,000 under the JPMorgan Facility or any replacement facility.
Without such re-borrowing, the levered weighted average IRR with regard to its portfolio of first mortgage loan will be significantly lower than
the amount
shown above, as indicated by the weighted average underwritten IRR above.

(2)
Borrowings under the Company’s master repurchase facility with JPMorgan (the “JPM Facility”) bear interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points, or 2.7% at September 30, 2012. The IRR calculation further assumes the JPM Facility or any replacement facility
will remain available over the life of these investments.

The IRR for the investments shown in the above table reflect the
returns underwritten by the Manager, calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults but assumes extensions as well as the cost of borrowings and
derivative instruments under the Wells Facility. The calculation
also assumes extension options on the Wells Facility with respect to the Hilton CMBS are exercised.
There can be no assurance the actual IRRs will equal the underwritten IRRs shown in the table.
See “Risk Factors”

Portfolio Metrics –
Quarterly Migration Summary
(1)
The IRR for the investments shown in the above table reflect the
returns underwritten by the Manager, calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults but assumes extensions as well as the cost of borrowings and
derivative instruments under the Wells Facility. The calculation
also assumes extension options on the Wells Facility with respect to the Hilton CMBS are exercised.
There can be no assurance the actual IRRs will equal the underwritten IRRs shown in the table.
See “Risk Factors”
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a discussion of some of the factors that could adversely impact the returns received by the Company from the investments shown in the table over time.
(2)
Represents
an
underwritten
levered
weighted
average
IRR.
The
Company's
ability
to
achieve
the
underwritten
levered
weighted
average
IRR,
additionally
depends
upon
the
Company
re-borrowing
approximately
$53,000
under
the
JPMorgan
Facility
or any
replacement facility with regard to its portfolio of first mortgage loans.
Without such re-borrowing, the levered weighted average IRR will be significantly lower than the amount shown above, as indicated in the weighted average IRR column on page 10.
(3)
Does not include CMBS (AAA or Hilton) or repurchase agreement investment secured by CDO bond.
