Investment Strategy

INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 1 Global Capital Markets 2006/1H 2007 represented the height of the leverage boom Current liquidity crisis and credit crunch reflects a systemic de-leveraging and re- pricing of risk Ultimate economic impact still playing out Source: JPMorgan High Grade Domestic Bond Index and JPMorgan High Yield Domestic Bond Index

INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 2 Debt Market Impact Structured finance meltdown and the deteriorating economic environment have created uncertainty and illiquidity across all debt markets Impact of the dislocation has been acute on the securitized commercial real estate sector Source: JPMorgan, Commercial Mortgage Alert (1) As of 10/29/08 Conduit CMBS Spreads Low ' 07 High ' 08 Current Sr. AAA (10 Yr.) 22 310 280 Conduit CMBS Spreads Low ' 07 High ' 08 Current (1) Sr. AAA (10 Yr.) 22 600 555

INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 3 Source: JPMorgan, Markit Partners

INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 4 Source: JPMorgan, Markit Partners

CMBS cash buyers have stepped back Spread volatility Credit concerns Structured product taint Confidence in ratings Leveraged investors have disappeared SIVs, CDOs and CP Conduits Repo availability Securitized lenders have withdrawn Pricing Other balance sheet pressures Portfolio lenders cannot fill the void Scale Flexibility INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 5

INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 6 Market Capacity Securitized lenders originated +/-50% of all CRE debt in 2006/H1 2007 Portfolio lenders (banks, insurance companies and some pension funds) represent the only active lenders in today's market Current lending universe has insufficient capacity to address financing demand Source: JPMorgan; Includes only securitized commercial mortgage loans and excludes defeased loans (1) Initial maturity date

The Landscape Today Dealer inventory backlogs/forced liquidations by leveraged investors Investor uncertainty + lack of financing = markets have not cleared CMBS and loan spreads remain wide despite recent volatility However, not all collateral has been created equally Tomorrow Delinquencies and defaults will begin to rise Lower advance rates and wider spreads will pressure refinancing (even for good properties/sponsors) INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 7 While the pendulum has swung, asset selection and underwriting will be the keys to success going forward

Market Opportunity Result = lenders back in the driver's seat: More conservative valuations Lower advance rates Tighter loan structures Better pricing Current market provides credit driven investors with the opportunity to generate attractive risk adjusted returns at all parts of the real estate capital structure INVESTMENT STRATEGY II - 8

CT Platform Fully integrated platform uniquely qualified to take advantage of today's market opportunities: Broad origination/sourcing network Disciplined underwriting culture and process Deep experience with all financial products Capital access and structuring expertise: Equity Sources Debt Sources Public/Private Synergy II - 9 INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Asset Management Asset Manager for all investments since inception Directly manage all non securities related investments Approved Special Servicer (Fitch, S&P, Moody's) to directly control loan workouts for B Notes and first loss CMBS Experienced CDO collateral manager Proprietary technology platform Over $10 billion of workout experience (Victor Capital) II - 10 INVESTMENT STRATEGY

II - 11 INVESTMENT STRATEGY Risk Management Principles Create diversified portfolios Asset category, property type and geographic market Prudently employ leverage Enhance returns Increase the size and diversity of the portfolios Manage a matched book Control asset/liability mix (index & duration) Use derivative instruments to hedge interest rate exposure Maintain the liquidity necessary to hold and protect investments
