As of the date hereof, Mr. Sugarman directly owns no shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), of the Registrant. However, as a result of wholly-owning Sugarman Enterprises, Inc. (“Enterprises”), which controls TCC Manager, LLC (“Manager”), which controls The Capital Corps, LLC (“Capital”), which wholly owns Commerce Home Mortgage (“Commerce”), Mr. Sugarman may be deemed to have shared voting power over and thus beneficial ownership of the 1,846,154 Shares owned by Commerce pursuant to Rule 13d-3 (“Rule 13d-3”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Mr. Sugarman has an indirect interest in a portion of the same 1,846,154 Shares already reported above by virtue of an indirect ownership in Capital. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 (“Rule 13d-4”) under the Exchange Act, Mr. Sugarman disclaims all such beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
