Backed Securities” and similar risks, including (i) risks of delinquency and foreclosure and risks of loss in<br />

the event thereof, (ii) the dependence upon the successful operation of and net income from real property<br />

or loans secured by real property, (iii) risks generally incident to interests in real property, including those<br />

described above, (iv) risks that may be presented by the type, use and location of a particular commercial<br />

property and (v) the difficulty of converting certain property to an alternative use in the event that the<br />

operation of such commercial property for its original purpose becomes unprofitable for any reason.<br />

In addition, risks of Real Estate Entity Securities may include (among other risks) (i) limited<br />

liquidity and secondary market support, (ii) substantial market price volatility resulting from changes in<br />

prevailing interest rates, (iii) the operation of mandatory sinking fund or call/redemption provisions<br />

during periods of declining interest rates, (iv) the possibility that earnings of the Security Issuer may be<br />

insufficient to meet its debt service and (v) the declining creditworthiness and potential for insolvency of<br />

the Security Issuer during periods of rising interest rates and economic downturn. An economic downturn<br />

or an increase in interest rates could severely disrupt the market for Real Estate Entity Securities and<br />

adversely affect the value of outstanding Real Estate Entity Securities and the ability of the Security<br />

Issuers thereof to repay principal and interest. Also, because the Real Estate Entity Securities generally<br />

evidence unsecured debt obligations of the related Real Estate Entity, the Real Estate Entity Securities<br />

will rank junior to any secured debt of the related Real Estate Entity, and thus, the Real Estate Entity<br />

Securities would be subordinated to the prior payment in full of such debt. It is likely that the related<br />

Real Estate Entities will have outstanding debt secured by mortgages on one or more of their properties.<br />

Downward movements in interest rates could also adversely affect the performance of Senior<br />

Securities. Real Estate Entity Securities may have call or redemption features that would permit the<br />

issuer thereof to repurchase the securities from the Issuer.<br />

The Issuer may have difficulty disposing of certain Real Estate Entity Securities because of<br />

reduced secondary market liquidity for such securities. Reduced secondary market liquidity may have an<br />

adverse impact on market price and the Issuer’s ability to dispose of particular issues when necessary to<br />

meet the Issuer’s liquidity needs or in response to a specific economic event such as a deterioration in the<br />

creditworthiness of the issuer of such securities. Reduced secondary market liquidity for certain Real<br />

Estate Entity Securities also may make it more difficult for the Issuer to obtain accurate market quotations<br />

for purposes of valuing the Issuer’s portfolio. Market quotations are generally available on many Real<br />

Estate Entity Securities only from a limited number of dealers and may not necessarily represent firm bids<br />

of such dealers of prices for actual sales.<br />

Subordination of Subordinated Securities Issuers’ Obligations. Obligations of a Subordinated<br />

Securities Issuer under its Subordinated Securities will be unsecured and will rank junior in priority of<br />

payment to its Senior Indebtedness (whether now existing or hereafter incurred) and effectively will rank<br />

junior to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of its subsidiaries, if any. Therefore, a<br />

Subordinated Securities Issuer generally will not be able to make any payments of principal (including<br />

redemption payments) or interest on its Subordinated Securities or redeem, exchange, retire, purchase or<br />

otherwise acquire any Subordinated Securities if it defaults on a payment on its Senior Indebtedness or if<br />

the maturity of its Senior Indebtedness is accelerated. In the event of the bankruptcy, liquidation or<br />

dissolution of a Subordinated Securities Issuer, its assets would be available to pay obligations under its<br />

Subordinated Securities only after all payments had been made on its Senior Indebtedness. In addition, a<br />

Subordinated Securities Issuer may be a party to agreements with holders of its Senior Indebtedness that<br />

have the practical effect of further subordinating the rights of holders of the related Subordinated<br />

Securities to such holders of Senior Indebtedness under certain circumstances.<br />

Upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Subordinated Securities Issuer, and subject to<br />

the applicable subordination provisions, generally the principal of and all unpaid interest on the<br />
