2 Safe Harbor Statement NOTE: This presentation contains certain statements that are not historical facts and that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this presentation addressing expectations, assumptions, beliefs, projections, future plans, strategies, and events, developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, and future operating results or financial condition are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this presentation may include, but are not limited to statements about projected future investment strategies and leverage ratios, future financial performance, the projected impact of NOL carryforwards, future dividends paid to shareholders, and future investment opportunities and capital raising activities. The words “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “project,” “plan,” “continue,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs, assumptions and expectations based on information currently available to us, and are applicable only as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and any of which could cause the Company’s actual results and timing of certain events to differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Not all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are known to us. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible to predict those risks or uncertainties or how they may affect us. The projections, assumptions, expectations or beliefs upon which the forward-looking statements are based can also change as a result of these risks and uncertainties or other factors. If such a risk, uncertainty, or other factor materializes in future periods, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, or that may cause our projections, assumptions, expectations or beliefs to change, include the following: the risks and uncertainties referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors”; our ability to find suitable reinvestment opportunities; changes in economic conditions; changes in interest rates and interest rate spreads, including the repricing of interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities; our investment portfolio performance particularly as it relates to cash flow, prepayment rates and credit performance; the cost and availability of financing; the cost and availability of new equity capital; changes in our use of leverage; the quality of performance of third-party service providers of our loans and loans underlying our securities; the level of defaults by borrowers on loans we have securitized; changes in our industry; increased competition; changes in government regulations affecting our business; regulatory actions, if any, taken in connection with an SEC review of certain sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940; government initiatives to support the U.S financial system and U.S. housing and real estate markets; financial condition and future operations of the GSEs; GSE reform or other government policies and actions; the impact of our ownership shift under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code on our use of our tax NOL carryforward; and our continued eligibility for inclusion in Russell Indexes and the materiality of the income taxes which may be due to the Company’s ownership of secur ities that generate excess inclusion income.

CMBS: Why We Invest Explicit call protection: Lockout: No prepayments allowed Defeasance: Borrower cannot prepay the loan but may substitute US government collateral that replicates remaining cash flow stream Yield Maintenance: Borrower can prepay the loan by paying a penalty generally equal to present value of lost coupon relative to US treasury rates. Can result in higher rates of return than would have been realized otherwise Fixed Penalty: % of loan balance paid at time of prepayment 14 Prepayment lockout 0-18 mos. Prepayment lockout 0-12 mos.

CMBS IO: Why We Invest S Short duration, predictable “bond like” cash flows Explicit call protection vs. RMBS implicit call protection Predictably rolls down the curve Complimentary cash flow profile to our RMBS investments Opportunity for credit spread tightening 15
RMBS: Implicit Call Protection RMBS have no explicit call protection unlike CMBS RMBS have implicit call protection through asset selection DX asset selection focuses on: Low loan balance Limited % of third-party originated loans Higher % of high LTV and investor loans 16

Macro Environment Factors 19 QE3 Global risk remains high Interest rates are low and range bound Volatility is low Credit spreads have tightened Multifamily housing strength continues, single family housing has stabilized Funding markets are stable REITs continue to raise capital KEY CONSIDERATION – Governments are involved
Macro Environment Factors • What happens when QE3 ends? – CMBS should outperform – Short-duration assets should outperform – Premium seasoned assets should outperform – Prepayments should slow • What happens with a 1.25% 10-year? – CMBS should outperform – Short-duration assets should underperform – Prepayments should increase – Multifamily demand should be unaffected – Demand should increase for yield 20
