At March 31, 2015, the interest rates applicable to the components of CMCT's Senior Unsecured Credit Facility were based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread determined by CMCT’s maximum leverage ratio. At quarter end, the applicable rate for the revolving credit facility was LIBOR + 120 basis points and LIBOR + 115 basis points for both the term loan and delayed draw term loan. At March 31, 2015, the interest rate on unsecured credit facility ranged from 1.32% to 1.38%. (1) The Penn Field debt was repaid in full in April 2015. (3) This maturity date does not assume the exercise of the two one year extension options provided for in the credit agreement. Note: In May 2015, CMCT entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CMCT can borrow up to a maximum of $385 million. The term loan facility ranks pari passu with CMCT's existing credit facility; covenants under the term loan facility are substantially the same as those in the existing credit facility. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.60% to 1.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.25%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The unused portion of the term loan facility is also subject to an unused fee of 0.20%. With some exceptions, any prepayment of the term loan facility prior to May 2017 will be subject to a prepayment fee up to 2% of the outstanding principal amount. The term loan facility matures in May 2022. As of May 8, 2015, no amount has been drawn under the term loan facility. CMCT has six months to draw on the term loan facility. (in thousands)

Important Disclosures 19 Annualized Total Returns are quarterly time-weighted total returns that have been geometrically linked then annualized. CIM IV quarterly total returns are leveraged investment-level gross returns (defined below), without taking into account organizational expenses and other fund-level expenses, calculated based on the product of quarterly appreciation and income returns. i. Appreciation returns are calculated by dividing the unrealized gain/loss (based on third-party appraisals and reported in the audited financials of CIM IV) by the fair market value weighted average equity for such quarter. ii. Income returns are calculated by dividing the actual Net Income for the applicable quarter (NOI after interest expense) by the fair market value weighted average equity for such quarter. iii. Fair market value weighted average equity balance for any quarter is based on the fair market net asset value (NAV) at the beginning of the applicable quarter and assumes that (a) contributions for quarterly capital expenditures are made (i.e., added to the equity balance) based on the mid-quarter convention, (b) distributions are made at the end of the quarter (and so are excluded from the calculation for that quarter), (c) contributions for the purchase of new properties and repayment of loans are made on the actual contribution date, with the resulting balances time-weighted on a daily basis for the quarter, and (d) distributions are assumed to equal the NOI reduced by any payments related to the loans (interest expense and principal amortization). iv. Investment-level gross returns represent the performance of an investment in a fund based on the equity contributed to the investment by the fund and distributed to the fund from the investment, provided that (a) generally, distributions resulting from debt proceeds or third party capital used to replace equity contributions are applied as a reduction in contributions and, accordingly, are not treated as distributions; (b) any fund-level debt is allocated to the investments and assumed to be investment-level debt, the significant effects of which are as follows: (i) equity contributed is reduced by the amount of assumed debt and (ii) equity distributed is reduced by the amount of repayments on such debt; and (c) certain amounts are deemed to be held as investment-level cash reserves even though such amounts are distributed to the fund; the effects of (a) – (c) are to reduce the amount of distributions and contributions. NCREIF Fund Index (NPI) – Open-end Diversified Core Equity (ODEC) quarterly total returns are leverage gross returns sourced from http://www.ncreif.org. Average leverage is the simple average of the calendar year end leverage ratios for the period presented. CIM IV leverage is total debt over total assets, as reported in the fund's fair value basis financial statements, as of a particular calendar year end. NCREIF Fund Index (NPI) – Open-end Diversified Core Equity (ODEC) leverage is total leverage, generally calculated as total debt divided by total assets and including off balance sheet amounts.
