        <footnote id="F1">The Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2017 (the &quot;Convertible Notes&quot;) of CIFC Deerfield Corp. (the &quot;Issuer&quot;) are convertible by DFR Holdings, LLC (&quot;DFR Holdings&quot;) into shares of Common Stock until 5:00 PM New York City time on December 8, 2017, which is the end of the business day immediately prior to the date that the Convertible Notes mature unless the Issuer elects to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes early on or after June 9, 2012.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The values set forth in these fields are based upon the stated conversion rate of 165.29 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes or approximately $6.05 per share. Following certain corporate events that occur prior to maturity, including, without limitation, distributions of stock, stock splits or stock combinations, cash dividends, payments in tender or exchange offers, issuances of equity-linked securities and spin-off transactions, the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event will be adjusted.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">DFR Holdings is in a short ownership position with respect to a put option owned by the Issuer. The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, pay up to 50% of the interest due on the Convertible Notes in &quot;pay-in-kind&quot; interest (the &quot;PIK Interest&quot;) by issuing additional Convertible Notes to DFR Holdings on each quarterly interest payment date so long as the payment of PIK Interest would not be prohibited by, or constitute a default under, any other indebtedness or preferred stock of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries. (continued on the next footnote...)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">(continued from the last footnote...) To the extent that the Issuer has elected to pay any interest in PIK Interest, then the Issuer will pay interest at a per annum rate of (i) 10% during the period from June 9, 2010 to June 8, 2012, (ii) 11% during the period from June 9, 2012 to June 8, 2013 and (iii) 12% during the period from June 9, 2013 to December 9, 2017, unless the Issuer elects to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes on or after June 9, 2012. Assuming that the Issuer pays the maximum amount of PIK Interest allowed, DFR Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own an additional $6.514 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, which will be convertible into approximately 1,076,637 shares of Common Stock based upon the stated conversion rate of 165.29 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, or approximately $6.05 per share of Common Stock, which is subject to adjustment as discussed in Footnote (2).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The Issuer may exercise its right to issue PIK Interest on any quarterly interest payment date under the Convertible Notes until the maturity date thereof as discussed in Footnote (1).</footnote>
