(1) The Trust determined that this loan receivable is a variable interest in a VIE primarily based on the fact that the underlying entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Trust does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and is not required to consolidate the underlying entity.

(2) LIBOR floor of 0.5%.

(3) This loan was in maturity default at the time of acquisition. The loan was modified on February 1, 2013. The Trust consolidates the operations of the borrower entity and the loan receivable is eliminated in consolidation.

(4) These loans were sold to an independent third party in February 2014. See Note 4 - Acquisition and Disposition Activity for details on the sale.

(5) The loan was satisfied during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
