NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017
(unaudited)



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Resource Capital Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate ("CRE") related debt investments.  Historically, the Company has also made other commercial finance investments. The Company's investment activities are managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc. ("Manager") pursuant to a management agreement.  The Manager is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. ("Resource America") (formerly traded on NASDAQ: REXI).  On September 8, 2016, Resource America was acquired by C-III Capital Partners LLC ("C-III"), a leading CRE investment management and services company engaged in a broad range of activities, including primary and special loan servicing, loan origination, fund management, collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") management, principal investment, zoning due diligence, investment sales and multifamily property management. As part of the transaction, C-III took over control of the Company's Manager and became the beneficial owner of approximately 2.3% of the Company’s outstanding common shares at June 30, 2017 .
    
In November 2016, the Company received approval from its board of directors to execute a strategic plan (the "Plan") to focus its strategy on CRE debt investments. The Plan contemplates disposing of certain legacy CRE loans, exit underperforming non-core asset classes and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. Legacy CRE loans are loans originated prior to 2010. The Company reclassified the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments' assets and liabilities as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a result of the reclassification, these segments are reported as discontinued operations and have been excluded from continuing operations. 
The following subsidiaries are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements:
RCC Real Estate, Inc. ("RCC Real Estate") holds real estate investments, including CRE loans, CRE related securities and historically has held direct investments in real estate.  RCC Real Estate owns 100% of the equity of the following variable interest entities ("VIE"):
Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Ltd. ("RREF CDO 2006-1"), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiary ("QRS").  RREF CDO 2006-1 was established to complete a CDO issuance secured by a portfolio of CRE loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). This entity was deconsolidated at January 1, 2016 and the retained investment is accounted for as an investment security available-for-sale in the Company's consolidated financial statements. On April 25, 2016, RREF CDO 2006-1 was liquidated and, in exchange for the Company's interests in RREF CDO 2006-1, the remaining assets of the CDO were distributed to the Company, comprised of investment securities available-for-sale and CRE loans held for investment, which were recorded at fair value.
Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2007-1, Ltd. ("RREF CDO 2007-1"), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS.  RREF CDO 2007-1 was established to complete a CDO issuance secured by a portfolio of CRE loans and CMBS. This entity was deconsolidated at January 1, 2016 and the retained investment is now accounted for as an investment security available-for-sale in the Company's consolidated financial statements. On November 25, 2016, RREF CDO 2007-1 was liquidated and, in exchange for the Company's interests in RREF CDO 2007-1, the remaining assets of the CDO were distributed to the Company, comprised of investment securities available-for-sale and CRE loans held for investment, which were recorded at fair value.
Resource Capital Corp. CRE Notes 2013, Ltd. ("RCC CRE Notes 2013"), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS, was established to complete a CRE securitization issuance secured by a portfolio of CRE loans. RCC CRE Notes 2013 was liquidated in December 2016 and, as a result, the remaining assets were returned to the Company in exchange for the Company's preference shares and equity notes in the securitization.
Resource Capital Corp. 2014-CRE2, Ltd. ("RCC 2014-CRE2"), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS, was established to complete a CRE securitization issuance secured by a portfolio of CRE loans.
Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE3, Ltd. ("RCC 2015-CRE3"), a Cayman Islands limited liability company and QRS, was established to complete a CRE securitization issuance secured by a portfolio of CRE loans.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the accounting policies set forth in Note 2 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
All adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , approximately $97.5 million and $111.6 million , respectively, of the reported cash balances exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. However, all of the Company's cash deposits are held at multiple, established financial institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.
Allowance for Loan Loss
The general reserve, established for loans not determined to be impaired individually, is based on the Company's historical realized loss experience, adjusted for certain current economic factors.
Discontinued Operations
The results of operations of a component or a group of components of the Company that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
Income Taxes
Due to changes in management’s focus regarding the non-CRE businesses, the Company’s forecasted taxable income continues to be insufficient to completely realize the tax benefits of the gross deferred tax asset of $61.4 million (tax effected $17.3 million ) at June 30, 2017 . The Company believes it will be able to utilize up to $28.3 million of the gross deferred tax asset prior to its expiration. Therefore, a gross valuation allowance of $33.0 million (tax effected $13.1 million ) has been recorded against the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2017 . Management will continue to evaluate the Company's ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Modification accounting should be applied unless all of the following three criteria are met: (i) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (ii) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (iii) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to add the SEC Staff Announcement "Disclosure of the Impact that Recently Issued Accounting Standards will have on the Financial Statements of a Registrant when such Standards are Adopted in a Future Period (in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M)." The announcement applies to the May 2014 guidance on

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(unaudited)

revenue recognition from contracts with customers, the February 2016 guidance on leases and the June 2016 guidance on how credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are measured at fair value through net income are determined. The announcement provides the SEC staff view that a registrant should evaluate certain recent accounting standards that have not yet been adopted to determine appropriate financial statement disclosures about the potential material effects of those recent accounting standards. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact that adoption of the recent accounting standards referenced in this announcement is expected to have on the financial statements, then the registrant should make a statement to that effect and consider the additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact that the recent accounting standards will have on the financial statements of the registrant when adopted. The Company has not completed its assessment under the new guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers, however, it expects to identify similar performance obligations as currently identified; therefore, the Company does not expect a material impact upon the application of this guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on leases and the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments and its impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions, or disposals, of assets or businesses. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (a "set") is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired, or disposed of, is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the guidance requires that: (i) to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (ii) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The guidance also narrows the definition of an output to: the result of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that provide goods or services to customers, investment income (such as dividends or interest), or other revenues. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only for certain transactions. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce the diversity in practice of the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance to amend how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a VIE should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The guidance requires that if, under the first characteristic of a primary beneficiary, the reporting entity determines that it is the single decision maker of a VIE, then the reporting entity is required to include all of its direct variable interests in a VIE and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in a VIE held through related parties, including related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity, in determining whether it satisfies the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary, the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the reporting entity does not satisfy the second characteristic of a primary beneficiary after performing the assessment, the reporting entity is required to evaluate whether it and one or more of its related parties under common control, as a group, have the characteristics of a primary beneficiary. If the characteristics of a primary beneficiary are met as a group, then the party within the related party group that is most closely associated with the VIE is the primary beneficiary. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to reduce the diversity in practice around the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: (i) debt prepayments or extinguishment costs; (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (iv) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); (v) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with insignificant coupon rates; (vi) distributions received from equity method investees; (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which will change how credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are measured at fair value through net income are determined. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, the guidance requires recording allowances rather than reducing the carrying amount, as it is currently under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance allows for entities to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. In addition, the guidance allows employers to withhold shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements up to the employees’ maximum individual tax rate without causing the award to be classified as a liability. The guidance also stipulates that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. This guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged. The guidance will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the timing, amount and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments in order to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The guidance requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.  It is effective for annual reporting periods, and the interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that establishes key principles by which an entity determines the amount and timing of revenue recognized from customer contracts. At issuance, the guidance was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance that delayed the previous effective date by one year, resulting in the original guidance becoming effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application, which was not permissible under the initial effectiveness timeline, is now permissible though no earlier than as of the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2016. In 2016, the FASB issued multiple amendments to the accounting standard to provide further clarification. The Company has not completed its assessment under the new guidance, however, it expects to identify similar performance obligations as currently identified; therefore, the Company does not expect a material impact upon the application of this guidance.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2017 presentation, including the impact of discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale.
NOTE 3 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company has evaluated its securities, loans, investments in unconsolidated entities, liabilities to subsidiary trusts issuing preferred securities (consisting of unsecured junior subordinated notes), securitizations, guarantees and other financial contracts in order to determine if they are variable interests in VIEs. The Company regularly monitors these legal interests and contracts and, to the extent it has determined that it has a variable interest, analyzes the related entity for potential consolidation. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which, generally, is the entity that has the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continuously analyzes entities in which it holds variable interests, including when there is a reconsideration event, to determine whether such entities are VIEs and whether such potential VIEs should be consolidated or deconsolidated. This analysis requires considerable judgment.
Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)
Based on management’s analysis, the Company is the primary beneficiary of seven VIEs at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 : Apidos CDO I, Apidos CDO III, Apidos Cinco CDO, Whitney CLO I, RCC 2014-CRE2, RCC 2015-CRE3 and RCC 2015-CRE4 (collectively the "Consolidated VIEs"). The Consolidated VIEs were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS, property available-for-sale, syndicated corporate loans, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages the CRE related entities on behalf of the Company, and CVC Credit Partners manages the commercial finance-related entities on behalf of the Company. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of bonds, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed. All of the Company's VIEs were reevaluated under the revised consolidation model effective for the Company on January 1, 2016.
On November 14, 2016, the Company substantially liquidated Apidos Cinco CDO, a syndicated corporate loan CLO determined to be a VIE that is managed by CVC Credit Partners, a related party to the Company. As a result of the liquidation, all senior and mezzanine notes of the securitization were repaid, leaving only the Company's equity interest in the securitization outstanding as of December 31, 2016. Because substantially all of the VIE's activities are being conducted on behalf of a single variable interest holder that is a related party of the decision maker, it was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the transaction and, as such, should consolidate Apidos Cinco CDO. The Company consolidated the remaining restricted cash, one structured security and three syndicated corporate loans for an aggregate combined fair value of $2.3 million . The Company received cash distributions of $22.4 million as a result of the liquidation through June 2017. The Company elected the fair value option for the structured security and syndicated corporate loans upon acquisition, as given the short hold period, the Company believes fair value is the most useful indication of value for these assets.
Whitney CLO I was a securitization in which the Company acquired rights to manage the collateral assets held by the entity in February 2011. For a discussion on the primary beneficiary analysis for Whitney, see "— Unconsolidated VIEs – Resource Capital Asset Management," below.
For a discussion of the Company’s consolidated securitizations, see Note 1 , and for a discussion of the debt issued through the securitizations, see Note 11 .
For consolidated CLOs in which the Company does not own 100% of the subordinated notes, the Company imputes an interest rate using expected cash flows over the life of the CLO and records the third party's share of the cash flows as interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company has exposure to losses on its securitizations to the extent of its subordinated debt and preferred equity interests in them. The Company is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest on the debt securities it holds and, to the extent revenues exceed debt service requirements and other expenses of the securitizations, distributions with respect to its preferred equity interests. As a result of consolidation, debt and equity interests the Company holds in these securitizations have been

eliminated, and the Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflects both the assets held and debt issued by the securitizations to third parties and any accrued expense to third parties. The Company's operating results and cash flows include the gross amounts related to the securitizations' assets and liabilities as opposed to the Company's net economic interests in the securitizations. Assets and liabilities related to the securitizations are disclosed, in the aggregate, on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The creditors of the Company’s seven consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company provided no financial support to any of its VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate the Company to provide financial support to any of its consolidated VIEs.

(1)    Assets of each of the consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle the obligations of each respective VIE.

Unconsolidated VIEs (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest)
Based on management’s analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements at June 30, 2017 . The Company’s maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the "Maximum Exposure to Loss" column in the table below.

RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1
RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in real estate-related securities, CMBS and property available-for-sale and were financed by the issuance of debt securities. The Manager manages the CRE-related entities on behalf of the Company. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE’s inception and is continually assessed. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to the consolidation guidance. As a result of its evaluation, the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as its investments in these vehicles do not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest and were deconsolidated. At deconsolidation, the Company recorded its investments in RREF CDO 2006-1and RREF CDO 2007-1 at fair value and accounted for these investments as investment securities available-for-sale in its consolidated financial statements. On April 25, 2016, the Company called and liquidated its investment in RREF CDO 2006-1 and, in exchange for the Company's interest in RREF CDO 2006-1, the Company distributed the remaining assets of $65.7 million at fair value after paying off the CDO debt owed to third parties of $7.5 million . The Company recognized a gain of approximately $846,000 as a result of this transaction, which was

recorded in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on and sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations. On November 25, 2016, the Company called and liquidated its investment in RREF CDO 2007-1 and, in exchange for the Company's interest in RREF CDO 2007-1, the Company was distributed the remaining assets of $130.9 million at fair value after paying off the CDO debt owed to third parties of $33.7 million . T he Company recognized a gain of approximately $2.1 million as a result of this transaction, which was recorded in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans on the consolidated statements of operations.
RCM Global, LLC

On July 9, 2014, RCC Residential, together with Resource America and certain Resource America employees, acquired through RCM Global a portfolio of securities from JP Morgan for $23.5 million .  The portfolio is managed by Resource America. RCC Residential c ontributed $15.0 million for a 63.8% membership interest. E ach of the members of RCM Global is allocated revenues and expenses of RCM Global in accordance with his or her membership interest. RCM Global was determined to be a VIE based on the equity holders' inability to direct the activities that are most significant to the entity. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to the consolidation guidance. Upon adoption, the Company reevaluated its variable interest in RCM Global and determined it would not be the primary beneficiary of RCM Global, as its investment in the limited liability company does not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest. As a result of its evaluation, the Company deconsolidated its investment in RCM Global. As of January 1, 2016, the Company accounted for its investment in RCM Global as an equity method investment in an unconsolidated entity in its consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2017 , the Company held an 8.7% interest in RCM Global with a fair value of $88,000 , and the remainder was owned by subsidiaries of Resource America and certain of its employees and their spouses.

Pelium Capital

In September 2014, the Company contributed $17.5 million to Pelium Capital for an initial ownership interest of 80.4% . Pelium Capital is a specialized credit opportunity fund managed by Resource America. The Company funded its final commitment of $ 2.5 million in February 2015. The Company will receive 10% of the carried interest in the partnership for the first five years which can increase its interest to 20% if the Company's capital contributions aggregate $40.0 million . Resource America contributed cash of $2.8 million to the formation of Pelium Capital. At December 31, 2015, Pelium Capital was accounted for as a consolidated voting interest subsidiary. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to the consolidation guidance. Upon adoption, the Company reevaluated its interest in Pelium Capital and determined that although it now possessed a variable interest in Pelium Capital, it would not be the primary beneficiary of Pelium Capital, as its investment in the limited liability company does not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest. As a result of its reevaluation, the Company deconsolidated its investment in Pelium Capital on January 1, 2016, and accounted for its investment as an equity method investment in investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2017 , the Company had an investment balance of $12.3 million and held an 80.2% interest in Pelium Capital.
Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P.
On June 24, 2015, the Company committed up to $50.0 million in Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P. ("Pearlmark Mezz"), a Delaware limited partnership created to acquire and manage financial interests in CRE property. The investment advisor for Pearlmark Mezz is Pearlmark Real Estate LLC ("Pearlmark Manager"), which was 50% owned by Resource America. The Company determined it possessed a variable interest in Pearlmark Mezz, however, it would not be the primary beneficiary of Pearlmark Mezz, as its investment in the limited liability company does not provide the Company with a controlling financial interest. The Company accounted for its investment in Pearlmark Mezz as an equity method investment in an unconsolidated entity in its consolidated financial statements. The Company paid Pearlmark Manager management fees of 1.0% on the unfunded committed capital and 1.5% on the invested capital. The Company was entitled to a management fee rebate of 25% for the first year of the fund, which ended June 24, 2016. Resource America agreed to credit any such fees paid by the Company to Pearlmark Manager against the base management fee that the Company paid Resource America. In May 2017, the Company sold its equity interest in Pearlmark Mezz for proceeds of $16.2 million and recognized a net loss of $345,000 , which was recorded in equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated entities on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc.
On November 16, 2011, the Company together with LEAF Financial, Inc. ("LEAF Financial"), a subsidiary of Resource America, and LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. ("LCC"), a former subsidiary of Resource America, entered into a stock purchase

agreement and related agreements (collectively the "SPA") with Eos Partners, L.P., a private investment firm, and its affiliates ("Eos"). In exchange for its prior interests in its lease related investments, the Company received 31,341 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), 4,872 shares of newly issued 8% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and 2,364 shares of newly issued Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). At the time of investment, the Company’s investment in LCC was valued at $36.3 million based on a third-party valuation.  During 2013, the Company entered into a third stock purchase agreement with LCC to purchase 3,682 shares of newly issued Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock") for $3.7 million and 4,445 shares of newly issued Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") for $4.4 million . The Series E Preferred Stock expired and the Company was issued additional Series A-1 Preferred Stock in exchange for its investment in the Series E Preferred Stock. The Company accounts for its investment in LCC as an equity method investment in an unconsolidated entity in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s total investment in LCC was $43.2 million and $43.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of LCC because it does not participate in any management or portfolio decisions, holds only two of six board positions, and does not have controlling voting rights in the entity. Furthermore, Eos held consent rights with respect to significant LCC actions, including the incurrence of indebtedness, consummation of a sale of the entity, liquidation or initiating a public offering. On July 31, 2017, the Company received cash proceeds of $84.3 million in connection with the sale of LCC.
Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures
The Company has a 100% interest in the common shares of Resource Capital Trust I ("RCT I") and RCC Trust II ("RCT II"), valued at $1.5 million in the aggregate (or 3% of each trust). RCT I and RCT II were formed for the purposes of providing debt financing to the Company, as described below. The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either trust because it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the trusts, which include the collection of principal and interest and protection of collateral through servicing rights. Accordingly, neither trust is consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company records its investments in RCT I and RCT II’s common shares as investments in unconsolidated trusts using the cost method and records dividend income when declared by RCT I and RCT II. The trusts each hold subordinated debentures for which the Company is the obligor in the amount of $25.8 million for each of RCT I and RCT II. The debentures were funded by the issuance of trust preferred securities of RCT I and RCT II. The Company will continuously reassess whether it should be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts.
Resource Capital Asset Management CLOs
In February 2011, the Company purchased a company that managed syndicated corporate loan assets through five CLOs. As a result, the Company became entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees from these CLOs. The purchase price of $22.5 million resulted in an intangible asset that was allocated to each of the five CLOs and was amortized over the expected life of each CLO. The Company determined that it did not hold a controlling financial interest and, therefore, was not the primary beneficiary of these CLOs. The CLOs were liquidated in February 2013, January 2016, September 2016 and February 2017, respectively. The unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $0 and $213,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $817,000 and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. The Company recognized fee income of $510,000 and $912,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company recorded impairment of $177,000 on the related intangible asset that was liquidated in February 2017. At June 30, 2017 , the Company had no remaining investment in RCAM.
With respect to the fifth CLO, Whitney CLO I, in October 2012, the Company purchased 66.6% of its preferred equity, which resulted in consolidation. Based upon that purchase, the Company determined that it had an obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Whitney CLO I and that a related party had the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the VIE. As a result, together with the related party, the Company had both the power to direct and the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb losses. It was then determined that, between the Company and the related party, the Company was the party within that group that was more closely associated with Whitney CLO I because of its preferred equity interest in Whitney CLO I. The Company, therefore, consolidated Whitney CLO I. In May 2013, the Company purchased additional equity in this CLO, which increased its ownership of the outstanding preferred equity to 68.3% . In September 2013, the Company liquidated Whitney CLO I, and, as a result, all of the assets were sold.

Investment in ZAIS
In February 2015, the Company made an investment in ZAIS CLO 4 Limited, an offshore financing vehicle created to acquire and warehouse syndicated corporate loans, through its wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary ZAIS and through its unconsolidated subsidiary Pelium Capital together with a Resource America employee. The Company, through ZAIS and Pelium Capital, committed to invest $10.0 million and $3.0 million , respectively, during the vehicle's warehousing period. The warehouse credit facility closed on May 5, 2016, at which time, Resource TRS III purchased a beneficial interest in ZAIS CLO 4. The vehicle is managed by ZAIS Leveraged Loan Manager 4, LLC (the "Collateral Manager"), an entity unrelated to the Company or to Pelium Capital, and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the entity. The Collateral Manager can be replaced either for cause by the entity’s administrative agent if there is an event of default or by a unanimous vote of the entity’s equity investors, excluding any preference shares held by the Collateral Manager or its affiliates. Although the Company had an investment in the entity that is potentially significant, because it was determined that the Company did not have the ability to kick out the collateral manager, the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, was not required to consolidate ZAIS CLO 4. On November 22, 2016, the Company sold its beneficial interest in ZAIS CLO 4 for $9.4 million and recognized a gain of $418,000 as a result of this transaction, which was recorded in net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Investments in the Harvest CLO Securities          
In September 2013 and March 2014, the Company made investments in Harvest CLO VII Limited and Harvest CLO VIII Limited (collectively, the "Harvest Securities"), respectively, offshore limited liability companies created to acquire syndicated corporate loans and issue CLOs.  The Harvest Securities are managed by 3i Debt Management Investments Limited (the "Portfolio Manager"), an entity unrelated to the Company, and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the entity.  The Portfolio Manager can be replaced only for cause by the Harvest Securities’ trustee.  Although the Company has investments in the Harvest Securities that are potentially significant, because it was determined that the Company did not have the ability to unilaterally kick out the Portfolio Manager, the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, was not required to consolidate the Harvest Securities. In May 2017, the Company sold its investments in Harvest CLO VII Limited and Harvest CLO VIII Limited and recorded gains of $674,000 and $1.1 million , respectively, which were recorded in net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Investment in Harvest CLO XV Designated Activity Company
In September 2015, the Company made an investment in Harvest CLO XV Designated Activity Company ("Harvest XV"), an offshore financing vehicle created to acquire and warehouse syndicated corporate loans, through its wholly-owned, direct subsidiary Commercial II. In May 2016, the warehouse closed and the Company invested in Harvest CLO XV DAC ("Harvest CLO XV"). The CLO is managed by the Portfolio Manager, and such collateral management activities were determined to be the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the entity. The Portfolio Manager can be replaced only for cause by the entity’s administrative agent. Although the Company has an investment in the entity that is potentially significant, because it was determined that the Company did not have the ability to unilaterally kick out the collateral manager, the Company was determined not to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, was not required to consolidate Harvest CLO XV. At June 30, 2017 , the Company's investment in Harvest CLO XV is $11.5 million . The Company accounts for its investment in Harvest CLO XV as an investment security available-for-sale in its consolidated financial statements.

Credit quality indicators
Commercial Real Estate Loans

Loans are graded at inception and updated as new information is received. As a result, a loan previously rated 4 may, over time and with improved performance, be rated better than 4. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 4 representing its lowest rating. CRE loans are first individually evaluated for impairment. To the extent no individual impairment is determined, a general reserve is established.

The characteristics of each rating category are as follows:

1.
A loan with a rating of a 1 is considered to have satisfactory performance with no issues noted. All interest and principal payments are current and the probability of loss is remote;
2.
A loan is graded with a rating of a 2 if a surveillance trigger event has occurred, but loss is not probable at this time. Such trigger events could include but are not limited to a trending decrease in occupancy rates or a flattening of lease revenues; and to a lesser extent, ground lease defaults, ground lease expirations that occur in the next six months or the borrower is delinquent on payment of property taxes or insurance;
3.
A loan with a rating of 3 has experienced an extended decline in operating performance, a significant deviation from its origination plan or the occurrence of one or more surveillance trigger events which create an increased risk for potential default. Loans identified in this category show some liquidity concerns. However, the risk of loss is not specifically assignable to any individual loan. The noted risk of the loans in this category is generally covered by general reserves;
4.
A loan with a rating of a 4 is considered to be in payment default or default is expected, full recovery of the unpaid principal balance is improbable and loss is considered probable. The noted risk of the loans in this category is covered by specific reserves.

million on the loan during the fourth quarter of 2016. No additional provision was recorded on the loan for the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 . This loan is in default at June 30, 2017 .
At December 31, 2016 , the Company had eight legacy CRE whole loans and one mezzanine loan included in assets held for sale with a total carrying value of $158.2 million . Appraisals, as a practical expedient for fair value, were obtained for all eight legacy CRE loans classified as assets held for sale. The mezzanine loan had a fair value of $0 . The Company recorded, and subsequently charged off upon transfer of the loans to assets held for sale, specific reserves on  four  of the five loans transferred to assets held for sale totaling  $15.8 million , where the carrying values of the loans exceeded their fair values. These  five  loans had a collective carrying value of  $110.7 million  at  December 31, 2016  and were comprised of the following:
Two loans cross-collateralized by a hotel in Studio City, CA, with an initial par value of $67.5 million . These loans were written down to their collective appraised value of $61.4 million .

Proceeds of $67.0 million are included in principal receivable at June 30, 2017 and was received by the Company in July 2017.

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a discounted payoff agreement with its borrower and received proceeds of $21.3 million in satisfaction of this loan. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a realized gain of $7.0 million in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives;
One  loan collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ with an initial par value of  $17.7 million . This loan was written down to its appraised value of  $11.0 million . The loan had a maturity date of May 2017 and is currently in default;
One  loan collateralized by a hotel in Palm Springs, CA with an initial par value of  $29.5 million . This loan was written down to its appraised value of  $24.0 million .
As a result of the repayments of CRE loans held for sale discussed above on the Studio City, CA and Tucson, AZ properties, two of the five aforementioned legacy CRE loans remain at June 30, 2017 and have a collective carrying value of $35.0 million .

At June 30, 2017 , 49% , 37% and 14% of the Company's legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively. Of these loans, 86% are within California and  14% are within Arizona. At  December 31, 2016 54% 39%  and  7%  of the Company's legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively. Of these loans,  84%  are within California and  16%  are within Arizona.

Three  loans held for sale with a collective carrying value of  $44.6 million  at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 had fair values in excess of their carrying values. Before being transferred to assets held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016, these loans were risked-rated in category 1 or category 2.

All of the Company's CRE whole loans are current with respect to contractual principal and interest except two . One defaulted loan is supported by a property in Roswell, GA and had a carrying value of $4.5 million at June 30, 2017 . The other, which is classified as held for sale, is collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ and had a carrying value, which represents its value at the lower of cost or fair market value, of  $11.0 million .

All of the Company's CRE whole loans were current with respect to contractual principal and interest except  two  of the Company's legacy CRE whole loans at  December 31, 2016 . The  two  loans are cross-collateralized by a property in Studio City, CA. The loans had a collective carrying value, which was the lower of its cost or fair market value, of  $61.4 million  at  December 31, 2016 .

Syndicated Corporate Loans

Syndicated corporate loans are graded at inception and updated as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 representing the Company’s highest rating and 5 representing its lowest rating. Syndicated corporate loans are first individually evaluated for impairment. To the extent no individual impairment is determined, a general reserve is established.

The characteristics of each rating category are as follows:
1.
Loans with a rating of 1 are considered performing within expectations. All interest and principal payments are current, all future payments are anticipated and loss is not probable;
2.
Loans with a rating of a 2 are considered to have limited liquidity concerns and are watched closely. Loans identified in this category show remote signs of liquidity concerns, loss is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established;
3.
Loans with a rating of a 3 are considered to have possible future liquidity concerns. Loans identified in this category show some liquidity concerns, but the ability to estimate potential defaults is not quantifiable and, therefore, no reserve is established;
4.
Loans with a rating of a 4 are considered to have nearer term liquidity concerns. These loans have a reasonable possibility of future default. However, the risk of loss is not assignable to one specific credit. The noted risk of the loans in this category is covered by general reserves; and
5.
Loans with a rating of a 5 have defaulted in payment of principal and interest or default is imminent. It is probable that impairment has occurred on these loans based on their payment status and that impairment is estimable. The noted risk of the loans in this category is covered by specific reserves.

The investments held by the Company's securitizations collateralize the securitizations' borrowings and, as a result, are not available to the Company, its creditors, or stockholders. All senior notes retained at closing or subsequently repurchased by the Company at June 30, 2017 eliminate in consolidation.

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with Resource America and Certain of its Subsidiaries
Relationship with C-III, Resource America and Certain of their Subsidiaries.   On September 8, 2016, Resource America was acquired by C-III, a leading CRE investment management and services company engaged in a broad range of activities, including primary and special loan servicing, loan origination, fund management, CDO management, principal investment, zoning due diligence, investment sales and multifamily property management. As part of the transaction, C-III took over control of the Company's Manager and became the beneficial owner of 715,396 shares of the Company's common stock ( 2.3% of the Company's outstanding common shares) through its indirect ownership of the Company's Manager and Resource Capital Investor, Inc. C-III is indirectly controlled and partially owned by Island Capital Group ("Island Capital"), of which Mr. Farkas, Chairman of the Company, is the managing member. Mr. Farkas is also chairman and chief executive officer of C-III and chief executive officer and president of Resource America. In addition, Robert C. Lieber, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, is an executive managing director of both C-III and Island Capital. Jeffrey P. Cohen, who is a member of the Company’s Board, is an executive managing director of C-III, president of Island Capital and a director and executive vice president of Resource America. The Company's other executive officers are also officers of the Company's Manager and/or of Resource America or C-III.

The Company has entered into a management agreement under which the Company's Manager receives substantial fees. On May 22, 2016, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Resource America pursuant to which the Company irrevocably waived its right to terminate the management agreement as a result of a "Change of Control" (as defined in the management agreement) resulting from the acquisition of Resource America by C-III. Upon consummation of that acquisition, Resource America paid a $1.5 million fee to the Company for the waiver. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Manager earned base management fees of approximately $2.6 million and $5.2 million (net of rebates), respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Manager earned base management fees of approximately $3.0 million and $6.9 million (net of rebates), respectively. No incentive management fees were earned for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016 .  The Company reimburses the Manager and Resource America for expenses and the costs of employees of Resource America who perform legal, accounting, due diligence and other services that outside professionals or consultants would otherwise perform. The management agreement, as amended, also provides that the Manager must furnish us with a director of investor relations. The Company bears the expense of the compensation and benefits of the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and several accounting and tax professionals and 50% of the salary and benefits of the investor relations officer. Until September 8, 2016, the Company also reimbursed Resource America for the compensation and benefits of the former Chairman. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company reimbursed the Manager $1.1 million and $2.9 million for all such compensation and costs, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company reimbursed the Manager $1.5 million and $2.6 million for all such compensation and costs, respectively.
On November 7, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the management agreement to include the definition of an "Ancillary Operating Subsidiary," which means one or more subsidiaries, including a TRS and its subsidiaries, that are operating entities principally engaged in the evaluation, underwriting, origination, servicing, holding, trading and financing of loans, securities, investments and credit products other than CRE loans.

The Company contributed $15.0 million for a 63.8% membership interest in RCM Global. The portion of RCM Global that the Company does not own is presented as non-controlling interest at December 31, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in the Company's consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In March and June 2015, the Company requested and received a proportional, in-kind distribution in certain securities held by RCM Global. The distribution of and subsequent sale of those securities by the Company through its subsidiary, RCC Residential, resulted in the realization of $5.0 million of net gain for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute at least 90% of its taxable income.  In addition, the Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income in order not to be subject to corporate federal income taxes on retained income.  The Company anticipates it will distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders.  Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues or expenses (such as provisions for loan and lease losses and depreciation), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its distributions or, alternatively, may be required to borrow to make sufficient distribution payments.
The Company’s 2017 dividends are determined by the Company’s board of directors, which also consider the composition of any dividends declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional common shares.
The following tables present dividends declared (on a per share basis) for the first and second quarters of 2017 and each of the quarters in 2016:

There were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2017 .
The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  The fair values of the Company's short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, principal paydowns receivable, interest receivable, distributions payable, accrued interest expense and repurchase agreements approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets.  The fair values of the Company’s investment securities, trading are reported in Note 7 .  The fair values of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale are reported in Note 8 .  The fair values of the Company's loans held for sale are reported in Note 5 . The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are reported in Note 19 .
The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 loans held for investment are primarily measured using a third-party pricing service.  The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 loans held for investment are measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Fair values of loans with variable interest rates are expected to approximate fair value.
Senior notes in CRE securitizations are valued using dealer quotes, typically the dealer who underwrote the CRE securitization in which the notes are held.
Junior subordinated notes are estimated by discounted cash flows each with discount rates of 11.34% and 11.34% and used in the evaluation of RCT I and RCT II, respectively
The fair value of the convertible notes was determined using a discounted cash flow model that discounts the expected future cash flows using current interest rates on similar debts that do not have a conversion option. The 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 7.00% , and the 8.0% Convertible Senior Notes are discounted at a rate of 8.60% . The fair value of the CRE loan portfolio was determined using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of expected future cash flows using available market rates for comparable loans as discount rates. Discount rates used range between 15%-25% .
Repurchase agreements are variable rate debt instruments indexed to LIBOR that reset periodically and, as a result, their carrying value approximates their fair value.
The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported in the following table (in thousands):

NOTE 19 - MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company's financial performance and are referred to as "market risks." When deemed appropriate, the Company uses derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
The Company may hold various derivatives in the ordinary course of business, including: interest rate swaps, forward contracts and options. Options are contracts sold by one party to another that give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a financial asset at an agreed-upon price during a certain period of time or on a specific date. Interest rate swap agreements are contracts between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. Forward contracts represent future commitments to either purchase or to deliver a quantity of a currency (foreign currency hedging) at a predetermined future date, at a predetermined rate or price and are used to manage currency risk with respect to the Company's long positions in foreign currency-denominated investment securities.
A significant market risk to the Company is interest rate risk.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond the Company’s control.  Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets and the Company’s ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets.  A decline in the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels.
The Company seeks to manage the extent to which net income changes as a function of changes in interest rates by matching adjustable-rate assets with variable-rate borrowings. The Company seeks to mitigate the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in its investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements such as interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.
At June 30, 2017 , the Company had  two  interest rate swap contracts outstanding whereby the Company paid a weighted average fixed rate of  2.00%  and received a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was  $10.5 million  at  June 30, 2017 .  The counterparty for the Company’s designated interest rate hedge contracts at June 30, 2017 was Wells Fargo.
At December 31, 2016 , the Company had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.
 The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset related to interest rate swaps was  $75,000 at  June 30, 2017 .  The Company had aggregate unrealized gains of  $75,000  on the interest rate swap agreements at  June 30, 2017  which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company had aggregate unrealized losses on an interest rate swap agreement that was canceled, at the Company's request in April 2016, of $0 and $18,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  The aggregate unrealized loss is amortized through earnings over the remaining life of the canceled agreement. The amortization is reported in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred interest expense of $0 and $18,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, to fully amortize the remaining accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company had master netting agreements with Credit Suisse International and Wells Fargo at June 30, 2017 . Regulations promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act mandate that the Company clear certain new interest rate swap transactions through a central counterparty. Transactions that are centrally cleared result in the Company facing a clearing house, rather than a swap dealer, as counterparty.  Central clearing requires the Company to post collateral in the form of initial and variation margin to satisfy potential future obligations.  At June 30, 2017 , the Company had centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts with a fair value in an asset position of $75,000 . At December 31, 2016 , there were no centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts.
The Company classifies its interest rate risk hedges as cash flow hedges, which are hedges that eliminate the risk of changes in the cash flows of a financial asset or liability. The Company records changes in fair value of derivatives designated

(unaudited)

and effective as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income, and records changes in fair value of derivatives designated and ineffective as cash flow hedges in earnings.
The Company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk, a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, a significant amount of the Company's capital is exposed to other currencies, primarily the Euro and, to a lesser extent, the pound sterling. To address this market risk, the Company generally hedges foreign currency-denominated exposures (typically investments in debt instruments, including forecasted principal and interest payments) with foreign currency forward contracts. The Company classifies these hedges as fair value hedges, which are hedges that mitigate the risk of changes in the fair values of assets, liabilities, and certain types of firm commitments. The Company records changes in fair value of derivatives designated and effective as fair value hedges in earnings offset by corresponding changes in the fair values of the hedged items.
Forward contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the parties to deliver commitments are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Company could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Company manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management. The Company does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, the Company does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.
During the warehousing phase of the Company’s investments in certain structured vehicles, the Company may enter into total return swaps to finance the Company’s exposure to assets that will ultimately be securitized. A total return swap is a swap agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset. Traditionally, the Company pays either an indexed or fixed interest payment to the warehousing lender and receives the net interest income and realized capital gains of the referenced portfolio of assets, generally loans, to be securitized that are owned and held by the warehousing lender. Upon the close of the warehousing period, the Company’s invested equity plus net interest and any capital gains realized during the warehousing period are returned to the Company. Additionally, upon the close of the securitization, the Company may purchase beneficial interests in the securitization at fair value.

The combined fair value of securities and loans pledged against the Company's various term facilities and repurchase agreements was $802.0 million and $724.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.
In the Company's consolidated balance sheets, all balances associated with repurchase agreements and derivatives transactions are presented on a gross basis.
Certain of the Company's repurchase agreements and derivative transactions are governed by underlying agreements that generally provide for a right of offset in the event of default or in the event of a bankruptcy of either party to the transaction.
NOTE 21 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation on various matters, including disputes arising out of loans in the Company's portfolio and agreements to purchase or sell assets. Given the nature of the Company's business activities, the Company considers these matters to be routine and in the ordinary conduct of its business. The resolution of these matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against the Company as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations. Alternately, the Company may engage in settlement discussions on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation.
In September 2015, Daren Levin filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between March 2, 2015 and August 4, 2015.  In November 2015, the Court appointed Douglas Drees as the lead plaintiff in the action, and thereafter entered a stipulation and order directing the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint.  In February 2016, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that the Company and certain of its officers and directors materially misrepresented certain risks of its commercial loan portfolio and processes and controls for assessing the quality of its portfolio.  Based on these allegations, the amended complaint asserts claims for violation of the securities laws and seeks a variety of relief, including unspecified monetary damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. On June 2, 2017, a second amended complaint was filed which added a new class of Series B and Series C preferred shareholders. The parties have now commenced discovery and the plaintiff has filed a motion for class certification.  The Company believes the amended complaint is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.
              In December 2015, Josh Reaves filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York alleging that certain current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to misrepresent certain risks of its commercial loan portfolio, by failing to employ adequate internal and financial controls and by failing to disclose the alleged internal control deficiencies.  The complaint, which also asserts an unjust enrichment claim against the defendants, purports to seek relief on behalf of the Company for unspecified damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on the Company's behalf. 

                In January 2017, Joseph Greenberg filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors, as well as the Manager and Resource America.  In addition to asserting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors that are substantially similarly to those at issue in the Reaves action, the Greenberg complaint asserts three new claims on its behalf: (i) a claim under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, based on allegations that the defendants caused the Company to issue misleading proxy statements between 2014 and 2015, (ii) a claim against the individual defendants for waste of corporate assets, based on allegations that the defendants caused the Company to pay excessive fees to the Manager, to expend resources in defending against the Levin Action, and to pay improper compensation and bonuses to certain officers and directors, and (iii) a claim against Resource America and the Manager for unjust enrichment, based on allegations that these defendants were unjustly enriched through the payment of excessive management fees.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on the Company's behalf.

                In January 2017, Robert Canoles filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors.  The Canoles complaint asserts a single claim on behalf of the Company under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, based on allegations that the defendants caused the Company to issue misleading proxy statements from 2013 to 2015.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf.

                In January 2017, James M. DeCaro, for the benefit of Charles J. DeCaro, filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors, as well as the Manager and Resource America.  The DeCaro complaint asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty, a claim under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, and claims for corporate waste and unjust enrichment, all of which are substantially similar to the claims at issue in the Greenberg action.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf.

                In February 2017, Patrick Caito filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors, as well as the Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, and DeCaro actions.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf.

                In February 2017, Mark McKinney filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors alleging claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act and for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment that are substantially similar to claims asserted in the Reaves, Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro, and Caito actions.  Mr. McKinney previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate certain of these claims, which was ultimately refused. The Company believes Mr. McKinney’s allegations are without merit, and intends to defend itself vigorously.

                In March 2017, John Simpson filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors, as well as the Company's Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, DeCaro and Caito actions.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf.

                In March 2017, Kelly Sue Heckel filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors, as well as the Company's Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, DeCaro and Caito actions.  The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf.

In March 2017, Dave Sherek and Robert H. Spiegel filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors alleging claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act and for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment that are substantially similar to claims asserted in the Reaves, Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro, and Caito actions. Messrs. Sherek and Spiegel previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate certain of these claims, which was ultimately denied. The Company believes the Sherek/Speigel action is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

In April 2017, Rick Sebenoler filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors, as well as the Company's Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, DeCaro and Caito actions.  The plaintiff previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate certain of these claims, which was ultimately denied. The Company believes the Sebenoler action is without merit and intends to defend itself rigorously.

In April 2017, Abigail Gehan and Zachary Gehan filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors alleging claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act and for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment that are substantially similar to claims asserted in the Reaves, Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro, and Caito actions. The Company believes that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on its behalf.
    
In May 2017, Sharron Schwartz filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves action. Ms. Schwartz previously made a demand on the board

In May 2017, the Court consolidated the McKinney, Sherek and Sebenoler matters as the “Federal Demand Refused Actions.” Lead counsel was appointed in the Federal Demand Refused Actions on May 18, 2017, and the consolidated complaint was filed on June 30, 2017.

In May 2017, the Court also consolidated the Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro and Gehan matters as the “Federal Demand Futile Actions.” The consolidated complaint is due by August 21, 2017.

In June 2017, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Reaves, Caito, Simpson and Heckel matter (collectively, the “State Court Matters”) and stayed the State Court Matters in favor of the federal suits. On July 18, 2017, the Schwartz matter was stayed as well pursuant to a stipulation of the parties.

           A subsidiary of the Company is the subject of a lawsuit brought in 2014 by the purchaser of a hotel from such subsidiary. The complaint asserts breach of contract claims for non-payment of certain fees and expenses.  The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

PCM is a party to various claims and legal proceedings at various times. If PCM believes that a loss arising from any of these matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, the loss is recorded. Currently, the only litigation involving PCM is related to claims for repurchases or indemnifications on loans that PCM has sold to investors.  Such claims are included in the reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications. The reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications was $4.7 million and $4.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Loans on one-to-four family residential mortgages originated by PCM are sold to various financial institutions and governmental entities with representations and warranties that are usual and customary for the industry. In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties related to a loan sold, PCM may be required to indemnify the investor against future losses, repurchase the mortgage loan or reimburse the investor for actual losses incurred (referred to as "make whole payments").  The maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of an indemnification or loan repurchase would be the unpaid principal balance of the loan along with any premium paid by the investor when the loan was purchased, accrued but unpaid interest and other minor cost reimbursements.  This maximum exposure is at least partially mitigated by the value of the collateral underlying the mortgage loan.
At June 30, 2017 , outstanding demands for indemnification, repurchase or make whole payments totaled approximately $12.0 million .
The most significant remaining demands against PCM are from Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. ("LBHI"), which filed suit against PCM and approximately 150 sellers on February 3, 2016 alleging breaches of representations and warranties made on loans sold to LBHI. The repurchase claims asserted by LBHI relate to loans sold to LBHI that were subsequently sold by LBHI to either FNMA or FHLMC.  PCM has established a reserve for these asserted claims at June 30, 2017 .  PCM sold additional loans to LBHI that were subsequently securitized and sold as residential MBS (RMBS) by LBHI.  Claims have been asserted by the RMBS investors against LBHI, but no amounts have been paid by LBHI, and no claims have been asserted by LBHI against PCM.  No reserve has been established by PCM at June 30, 2017 for potential future claims related to loans sold to and securitized by LBHI.  PCM intends to defend the actions vigorously.
Unfunded commitments on the Company’s originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, the Company would receive additional interest income on the advanced amount. Unfunded commitments on the Company's originated middle market loans fall into two categories: (1) revolving credit facility; and (2) unfunded commitments subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria.
Except as previously discussed, the Company is unaware of any contingencies arising from such routine litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2017 .

NOTE 22 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
In November 2016 the Company received approval from its board of directors to execute a strategic Plan to focus its strategy on CRE debt investments. The Plan contemplates disposing of certain legacy CRE loans and exiting underperforming non-core asset classes. Non-real estate businesses identified for sale were the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as well as the Company's life settlement policy portfolio, or LCF. The Company reclassified the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as discontinued operations and exclude from continuing operations for all periods presented. In addition, the Company transferred the assets and liabilities of LCF and non-performing legacy CRE loans to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016.
In June 2017, the Company sold its residential mortgage lending pipeline and certain other assets and liabilities, including trademarks, domain names, intellectual property and certain fixed assets. Additional consideration may be earned subject to a contractual earn out provision based on future loan production, which will be payable over an eighteen to twenty-two month period. The sale generated cash proceeds of $2.6 million , which included a nonrefundable earn out advance of $650,000 . The collective book value of the assets sold was $1.6 million . The Company retained residential mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights and cash balances. The retained assets are expected to be disposed of over the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments discontinued operations as reported separately as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Third party appraisals were obtained on six of the legacy CRE whole loans and, as a result, specific provisions of $8.1 million were recorded prior to the loans being reclassified to held for sale status. Additional provisions in the amount of $7.7 million were recognized after the transfer of loans to held for sale to write down the loans to the lower of cost or fair value during the Company's fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 .
(2)
Includes a mezzanine loan with a par value of $38.1 million that was acquired at a fair value of zero as a result of the liquidation of RREF CDO 2006-1 in April 2016 and RREF 2007-1 in November 2016. The mezzanine loan is comprised of two tranches, with maturity dates of November 2018 and September 2021.
(3)
Includes a directly originated middle market loan with fair values of $1.8 million and $1.9 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. In May 2017 the loan experienced payment default. The loan's fair market value was supported by a third party valuation mark prepared as of June 30, 2017 .
(4)
At June 30, 2017, the Company's middle market loans are in several industry categories including : healthcare , education and childcare - 24.1% , diversified/conglomerate service - 17.3% , insurance - 17.2% , cargo transport - 14.3% , beverage, food and tobacco - 12.6% , buildings and real estate - 9.9% and hotels, motels, inns and gaming - 4.5% . At December 31, 2016, the Company's middle market loans are in several industry categories including: healthcare, education and childcare - 24.4% , diversified/conglomerate service - 17.2% , insurance - 17.1% , cargo transport - 14.2% , beverage, food and tobacco - 12.5% , buildings and real estate - 9.8% and hotels, motels, inns and gaming - 4.8% .
(5)
The fair value option was elected for residential mortgage loans, held for sale.
(6)
The Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of both agency loans and non-agency jumbo loans. The fair values of the agency loan portfolio are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as those values are determined based on quoted market prices for similar assets or upon other observable inputs. The fair values of the jumbo loan portfolio are generally classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as those values are generally based upon valuation techniques that utilize unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing those assets.
(7)
At June 30, 2017, approximately 45.4% of the Company's residential mortgage loans were originated in Georgia, 13.9% in Utah, 11.3% in California, 7.5% in Florida and 4.9% in Virginia. At December 31, 2016, approximately 39.2% of the Company's residential mortgage loans were originated in Georgia, 16.2% in California, 14.6% in Utah, 5.9% in Virginia and 5.9% in Florida.

Debt Facilities Associated with Discontinued Operations
Residential Investments – Term Repurchase Facility
In June 2014, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, RCC Resi Portfolio, RCC Resi TRS, and RCC Resi Depositor (the "Sellers") entered into a master repurchase and securities contract (the "2014 Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank. Over the course of five amendments to modify the terms, the most recent of which was entered into in September 2015, the maximum borrowing amount was reduced from the original $285.0 million to $30.0 million . In July 2016, the Company elected to terminate the 2014 Facility.
Residential Mortgage Financing Agreements
In February 2011, PCM entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "New Century Facility") with New Century Bank d/b/a Customer's Bank ("New Century") to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. Over the course of ten amendments to modify the terms, the most recent of which was executed in August 2016, the maximum borrowing amount declined to $0 . In December 2016, the Company elected to terminate the New Century Facility.
In July 2014, PCM entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "Wells Fargo Facility") with Wells Fargo to finance the acquisition of residential mortgage loans. The Wells Fargo Facility was executed with an original maximum amount of $100.0 million , an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus applicable margins of 3.00% for jumbo loans outstanding over 90 days, 2.50% for other jumbo loans and 2.38% for agency loans and a maturity date in July 2015. Over the course of nine amendments, the most recent of which was executed in October 2016, the maximum amount was modified to $150.0 million and the maturity date was modified to November 2017. The Wells Fargo Facility contains certain financial covenants and certain customary events of default and remedies for default.
In November 2016, PCM entered into a repurchase agreement (the "First Tennessee Facility") with First Tennessee Bank ("First Tennessee") to finance the origination and acquisition of residential mortgage loans. The First Tennessee Facility was executed with a maximum amount of $25.0 million , an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a 2.75% margin and a maturity date in September 2017. The First Tennessee Facility contains certain financial covenants and certain customary events of default and remedies for default.
PCM obtained two waivers of certain covenants for its residential mortgage financing agreements at June 30, 2017 .

NOTE 23 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this report and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, except the following:
On July 13, 2017, the Company closed Resource Capital Corp. 2017-CRE5, Ltd., a $376.7 million CRE securitization. As part of the transaction, the Company retained the subordinated notes and the preference shares, and paid down the CRE term repurchase facilities by $195.5 million .
On July 31, 2017, the Company received cash proceeds of $84.3 million in connection with the sale of LCC, an equity-method investment carried on the balance sheet at $43.2 million at June 30, 2017. The sale of LCC will result in the full realization of the Company's deferred tax asset of $4.2 million .

ITEM 2 .
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The following discussion provides information to assist you in understanding our financial condition and results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements.  Additionally, please see the sections "Forward-Looking Statements"

(Back to Index)

(Back to Index)

and "Risk Factors" for a discussion of risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with those statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
We are a commercial mortgage real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial real estate ("CRE") debt investments. Historically, we have also made commercial finance investments. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Our objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategies.  We primarily invest in CRE debt investments, and we have invested, to a lesser extent, in higher-yielding commercial finance assets.  We have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through borrowing strategies seeking to match the maturities and repricing dates of our financings with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments, and we have sought to mitigate interest rate risk through derivative instruments.
We are externally managed by Resource Capital Manager, Inc., or our Manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (formerly traded on NASDAQ: REXI), ("Resource America"). On September 8, 2016, Resource America was acquired by C-III Capital Partners LLC ("C-III"), a leading CRE investment management and services company engaged in a broad range of activities, including primary and special loan servicing, loan origination, fund management, CDO management, principal investment, investment sales and multifamily property management. As a result of the transaction, C-III controls our Manager and is the beneficial owner of 715,396 shares of our common stock (2.3% of our outstanding shares) held by Resource America. In connection with C-III's acquisition of Resource America, we were paid a $1.5 million consent fee by Resource America for waiving our right to terminate the Management Agreement as a result of the change of control of our Manager. Our Manager now draws upon C-III's and Resource America’s management teams and their collective investment experience to provide its services.
In November 2016, we received approval from our board of directors to execute a strategic plan, or (the "Plan"), to focus our strategy on CRE debt investments.  The Plan contemplates disposing of certain legacy CRE debt investments, exiting non-core businesses and investments and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings.  Legacy CRE loans are loans originated prior to 2010. The non-core businesses and investments, which we have historically invested in, are expected to be substantially disposed of over the next 12 to 18 months.
We began the process of disposing of several ancillary businesses and investments as part of the Plan during the fourth quarter of 2016. The anticipated dispositions include our residential mortgage origination operations and our middle market lending segment, which currently holds syndicated corporate loans and an impaired middle market direct origination loan. We moved these segments to discontinued operations and also moved our life settlement contract investment as well as several legacy CRE loans to held for sale classification in the fourth quarter of 2016 and recognized impairments to adjust the carrying value of these businesses and investments to their estimated fair market value.
From September 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017, we have monetized $196.6 million of the investments that were included in the Plan, which includes $96.4 million and $152.0 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . Included in monetized assets of $196.6 million are subsequent cash receipts of: (i) $67.0 million reported in principal paydowns receivable and (ii) $3.1 million reported in other assets on the balance sheet at  June 30, 2017 .  Proceeds from these transactions were received in early July 2017. Proceeds from disposed assets during the six months ended June 30, 2017 includes $91.2 million from our legacy CRE loan portfolio, $36.8 million from our commercial finance segment, $16.2 million from an investment in an unconsolidated entity, $5.2 million from our middle market lending segment and $2.6 million from our residential mortgage lending segment. We expect to continue this disposition process during the remainder of 2017 and to reinvest the proceeds into our CRE debt investment platform. While we believe we have appropriately valued the assets in our investment portfolio, including those held for sale at June 30, 2017, we cannot assure you that further impairments will not occur or that our assets will otherwise not be adversely affected by market conditions.
On July 31, 2017, we received cash proceeds of $84.3 million in connection with the sale of Leaf Commercial Capital (“LCC”), an equity method investment carried on the balance sheet at $43.2 million at June 30, 2017.  Including the LCC transaction, we have monetized $280.9 million of investments included in the Plan and assets of $198.4 million remain in the Plan. In addition, we sold the residential mortgage lending operating platform and certain other assets and liabilities held by Primary Capital Mortgage, LLC ("PCM"), our residential mortgage lending business in June 2017. We expect to liquidate PCM's remaining assets during the remainder of 2017.
We generate our income primarily from the spread between the revenues we receive from our assets and the cost to finance our ownership of those assets, from management of assets and from hedging interest rate risks.  Historically, we have generated revenues from the interest and fees earned on our CRE whole loans, commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), middle

(Back to Index)
61

(Back to Index)

market loans, other asset-backed securities ("ABS"), and structured note investments.  We also generated revenues from fees received for the management of externally originated syndicated corporate loans, from our residential mortgage origination business and from our investment in an equipment leasing business. Because the Plan focuses our investment strategy on CRE activities, we expect to shift away from these ancillary businesses, which will reduce and ultimately terminate the fee income we receive from them as we dispose of those investments, and re-deploy the proceeds into CRE debt investments.
Historically, we have used a substantial amount of leverage to enhance our returns, and we have financed each of our different asset classes with different degrees of leverage.  The cost of borrowings to finance our investments is a significant part of our expenses.  Our net income depends on our ability to control these expenses relative to our revenue. As it relates to our CRE loan portfolio, we historically have used repurchase agreements as a short-term financing source, and securitizations and, to a lesser extent, other term financing as long-term financing sources, and we expect to continue to use these financing sources into the near term future.
The current state of moderate growth in the United States ("U.S.") economy has allowed us to make new investments, particularly in our primary business of CRE lending. We typically target transitional floating-rate CRE loans between $20 million and $30 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we originated 10 loans with a total commitment of $213.6 million, of which $189.8 million was funded during the period. These loans were initially financed in part through our CRE term facilities and we expect to finance them longer-term through CRE securitizations if market conditions permit us to do so at attractive financing terms.  As a result of the dispositions contemplated by the Plan and the liquidity provided to date, coupled with available debt financing under our existing facilities of over $241.3 million at June 30, 2017, we intend to grow our CRE lending program, which will allow us to maintain a market presence and working relationships with our CRE borrowers.
At June 30, 2017, and as we move to a CRE debt focused investment strategy, our invested equity capital was allocated as follows: 77% in CRE assets; 9% in commercial finance assets; 9% in the residential mortgage lending business; and 5% in other investments. At December 31, 2016, our invested capital was allocated as follows: 74% in CRE assets; 14% in commercial finance assets; 6% in the residential mortgage lending business; and 6% in other investments.
Results of Operations
Our net income allocable to common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $2.5 million , or $0.08 per share-basic ( $0.08 per share-diluted) and $5.2 million , or $0.17 per share-basic ( $0.17 per share-diluted), as compared to a net loss allocable to common shares of $1.5 million , or $(0.05) per share-basic ( $(0.05) per share-diluted), for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and net income allocable to common shares of $8.1 million , or $0.27 per share-basic ( $0.26 per share-diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Aggregate interest income decreased by $4.8 million and $6.3 million to $23.6 million and $49.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $28.4 million and $55.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . We attribute these changes to the following:
Interest Income from Loans

(Back to Index)
66

(Back to Index)

CRE whole loans. The decrease of $916,000 and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily the result of a decrease in the weighted average loan balance from portfolio run-off including the liquidation of RCC CRE Notes 2013 in December 2016, offset by an increase in the weighted average yield from 5.92% to 6.59% and 5.89% to 6.48% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively.
Legacy CRE loans held for sale. The increase in interest income on legacy CRE loans held for sale is related to the decision to classify certain assets as assets held for sale in November 2016 in connection with the Plan.
Interest income from Securities  
ABS. The decrease of $3.0 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to the 2016 liquidations of RREF CDO 2006-1, RREF CDO 2007-1 and Apidos Cinco CDO. At liquidation, the remaining assets comprised of legacy CRE loans and CMBS were distributed to us and, accordingly, the interest income from the underlying collateral is now reported in interest income from legacy CRE loans held for sale and interest income from CMBS.
CMBS. The increase of $911,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to the acquisition of CMBS investments as a result of the liquidation of RREF CDO 2007-1 after June 30, 2016. We obtained these bonds at a discount which is being accreted over the expected life of the investments. These bonds, on average, pay higher coupons than the average of our portfolio. Additionally, we received $0 and $601,000 of interest income on a previously impaired security for the the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 .
Interest income - Other
Preference payments on structured notes.  The decrease of $1.3 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted from the sale of our investment in ZAIS in the fourth quarter of 2016 and a reduction in our yield on our investment in Harvest XV.
Preference payments on trading securities.  The decrease of $593,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 is due to the receipt of a $579,000 interest payment on a structured note received in June 2016. The increase of $475,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted from the receipt of $1.1 million of interest income in excess of our cost basis on a structured note in the first quarter of 2017.

Aggregate interest expense increased by $901,000 and $1.9 million to $14.3 million and $28.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $13.4 million and $26.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . We attribute the change to the following:
CRE loans. The increase of $679,000 and $1.5 million was related to an increase in the cost of funds, primarily due to an increase in one-month LIBOR, despite a lower average balance. The lower balance is due to the liquidation of RCC CRE Notes 2013 in December 2016 as well as reduced expenses in our remaining securitizations as senior notes pay down.
CMBS. Interest expense on CMBS increased by $163,000 and $384,000 due to borrowings related to the acquisition of additional securities as a result of the liquidations of RREF CDO 2006-1 and RREF CDO 2007-1 in 2016, which were used as collateral under our CMBS borrowing facilities. Additionally, the cost of funds is higher due to the modification to the Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. ("Deutsche Bank") CMBS lending facility, which charges three-month LIBOR, in May 2016. In May 2017, the Deutsche Bank CMBS lending facility was extended with no changes to the terms of the facility. Prior to May 2016, the previous facility charged one-month LIBOR.

Fee income. Fee income increased by $182,000 and $519,000 to $944,000 and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. This change relates to an incentive fee earned on the final distribution from the remaining CLO management contract held in Resource Capital Asset Management ("RCAM") that entitled us to collect senior, subordinated and incentive fees.

Management fees − related party. Management fees-related party decreased by $461,000 and $1.8 million to $2.6 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. This expense represents compensation in the form of base management fees pursuant to our management agreement with our Manager. The changes are described below:
Base management fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12th of the amount of our equity multiplied by 1.50%. Under the management agreement, "equity" is equal to the net proceeds from any issuances of shares of capital stock less offering-related costs, plus or minus our retained earnings (excluding non-cash equity compensation incurred in current or prior periods) less any amounts we have paid for common stock and preferred stock repurchases. The calculation is adjusted for one-time events due to changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which we refer to as GAAP, as well as other non-cash charges, upon approval of our independent directors.
The base management fee decreased by $332,000 and $1.6 million to $2.6 million and $5.2 million for the three and six

(Back to Index)

months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease is a result of a cumulative adjustment to correct the treatment of preferred dividends being included in the prior period's calculation of equity. Additionally, base management fee expense has decreased due to decreased stockholders' equity, a component in the formula by which base management fees are calculated, primarily as a result of our quarterly dividend distributions in excess of earnings and repurchases of outstanding common shares during 2016 as part of our board authorized $50.0 million repurchase plan.
The oversight management fee is a quarterly fee paid to reimburse Resource America for additional costs incurred related to our life care business Long Term Care Conversion Funding. The initial agreement, authorized in December 2012, provided for an annual fee of $550,000, with a two-year term. In March 2015, the agreement was amended to extend the term for an additional two years which terminated in December 2016. In December 2016, the agreement was amended to extend the term for one additional year through December 2017 but at a reduced annual reimbursement of $250,000. The oversight management fee was approximately $62,000 and $124,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $137,000 and $273,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively.
Equity compensation - related party. Equity compensation - related party decreased by $618,000 and $319,000 to $734,000 and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. These expenses relate to the amortization of annual grants of restricted common stock to our non-employee independent directors, and annual and discretionary grants of restricted stock to employees of Resource America and C-III who provide services to us through our Manager. The decrease in equity compensation expense was primarily attributable to the September 2016 vesting of restricted shares held by certain executives. In addition, there was a decrease in our stock price during the period ended June 30, 2017, which directly impacted our quarterly measurement of compensation expense.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $231,000 and $10,000 to $3.6 million and $7.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. Certain general and administrative expenses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 relate to assets that are deemed to be non-core under the Plan. We anticipate incurring additional general and administrative expense associated with executing the Plan.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to a decrease in wages and benefits of $94,000 due to a reduction in headcount and a decline in professional services of $95,000 due to a decrease in legal expenses related to the settlement of a CRE legacy loan. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , wages and benefits decreased $428,000 due to a reduction in headcount. This savings was offset by an increase in professional services of $326,000 primarily related to non-recurring legal expenses related to an aborted CRE securitization.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization by decreased by $329,000 and $770,000 to $32,000 and $100,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. The decrease was due to the remaining RCAM-managed CLOs being called in January 2016, October 2016 and February 2017, respectively, and, as a result, termination and acceleration of the amortization of the underlying intangible assets.    
Impairment losses. Impairment losses of $177,000 were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as our last remaining RCAM managed CLO was called in February 2017 and the balance of the associated intangible asset was deemed impaired.
Provision for loan and lease losses. Provision for loan and lease losses decreased by $16,000 and increased by $1.1 million to $131,000 and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively.

CRE whole loans. The CRE whole loans provision increased by $68,000 and $860,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase for the six month period was due to an increase in our general reserve during the first quarter of 2017, which is based primarily on our loss experience. There was no additional loan loss needed during the second quarter of 2017. We review and assess this allowance continually.

Syndicated corporate loans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , there was no provision recorded against our syndicated corporate loans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a provision due to the write-off of unsettled positions that remained at the time of liquidation, offset by the partial recovery of a provision previously taken on a liquidated syndicated corporate loan CLO.
Direct financing leases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded a $131,000 and $270,000 provision against the value of our direct financing lease portfolio due to delinquent leases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, there was no provision recorded against the value of our direct financing lease portfolio.

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated entities. Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated entities decreased by $2.8 million and $4.7 million to a loss of $118,000 and earnings of $243,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. This decrease in earnings was due to the disposal of assets and partial redemption of our equity investments in RCM Global, LLC and Pelium Capital Partners, L.P., respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . We also recognized a net loss of $345,000 on the disposition of our investment in Pearlmark Mezzanine Realty Partners IV, L.P. in May 2017. In addition, our investment in LCC now utilizes a prescribed equity method known as the hypothetical liquidation at book value, which also contributed to the decrease.
Net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives. Net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives increased by $7.8 million and $14.6 million to $9.5 million and $17.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. This increase was primarily related to gains recognized on the repayment of two legacy CRE loans of $5.6 million and $7.0 million , respectively, above the appraised value. This was partially offset by realized and unrealized gains on foreign exchange transactions from the settlement of related derivative contracts and unrealized gains on foreign exchange transactions from the settlement of related derivative contracts.
Net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading . Net realized and unrealized (loss) gain on investment securities, trading decreased by $233,000 and $1.3 million to net losses of $50,000 and $961,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. This decrease was primarily due to lower fair value marks on the remaining investments held as trading securities.

Net Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
In November 2016, the board of directors approved the Plan that would allow us to focus on making CRE debt investments and exiting non-core assets, disposing of certain underperforming legacy CRE debt investments and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. Non-CRE businesses identified for sale were the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as well as Life Care Funding ("LCF"). We met all of the criteria to classify the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments as discontinued operations and exclude them from continuing operations for all periods presented. In addition, we transferred the assets and liabilities of LCF and legacy CRE loans to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The following table summarizes the operating results of the residential mortgage and middle market lending segments discontinued operations as reported separately as loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Net loss from discontinued operations. Net loss from discontinued operations decreased by $2.2 million and increased by $3.5 million to losses of $4.2 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , as compared to losses of $6.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the middle market lending segment generated net income of approximately $798,000 and $1.7 million from the remaining six middle market syndicated loans and PCM recognized a net loss of approximately $5.0 million and $6.4 million. In June 2017, PCM sold its residential mortgage operating platform and certain other assets and liabilities. The losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are primarily attributable to $4.2 million of costs related to the asset purchase agreement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , the middle market lending segment recognized a net loss of $8.3 million and net income of $2.0 million primarily from interest and fees earned on our middle market loans and $2.6 million of prepayment fees earned during that period. This income was offset by $2.6 million of accelerated amortization of deferred debt costs related to a purchase agreement entered into to sell our interest in Northport TRS, LLC. PCM recognized net losses of approximately $2.2 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . These losses are attributable to a $2.3 million of temporary impairment on its mortgage servicing rights portfolio based on third party valuations. In addition, there was $4.1 million and $3.3 million of income tax benefit allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 related to our deferred taxes associated with our businesses classified as discontinued operations.
Financial Condition
Summary.
Our total assets were $1.9 billion at June 30, 2017 as compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2016 .  The decrease in total assets was due to the repayment of two legacy CRE loans previously classified as held for sale, a partial redemption of one of our non-core limited partnership investments and the disposition of another limited partnership investment, both classified on our balance sheet as investments in an unconsolidated entity, the sale of two non-core investment securities available-for-sale and the sale of our residential mortgage lending pipeline.

CMBS.   In the aggregate, we purchased our CMBS portfolio at a net discount to par value.  At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the remaining discount to be accreted into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $5.9 million and $1.6 million , respectively. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the remaining premium to be amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities was $84,000 and $296,000 , respectively. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are carried at their fair value.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , we purchased three CMBS positions with a total par value of $19.2 million and a weighted average cost of $75.86.
We had no losses included in earnings due to other-than-temporary impairment charges during the  three and six  months ended  June 30, 2017  and  2016 , respectively, on our CMBS portfolio.  CMBS is relatively consistent on a net basis at June 30, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016 , primarily due to $14.6 million of purchases offset by $15.0 million of paydowns during the period.

Credit quality indicators
Commercial Real Estate Loans

Loans are graded at inception and updated as new information is received, as such, a loan previously rated 4 may, over time and with improved performance, be rated better than 4. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 representing our highest rating and 4 representing our lowest rating. CRE loans are first individually evaluated for impairment. To the extent no individual impairment is determined, a general reserve is established.

The characteristics of each rating category are as follows:

1.
A loan with a rating of a 1 is considered to have satisfactory performance with no issues noted. All interest and principal payments are current and the probability of loss is remote;
2.
A loan is graded with a rating of a 2 if a surveillance trigger event has occurred, but loss is not probable at this time. Such trigger events could include but are not limited to a trending decrease in occupancy rates or a flattening of lease revenues; and to a lesser extent, ground lease defaults, ground lease expirations that occur in the next six months or the borrower is delinquent on payment of property taxes or insurance;
3.
A loan with a rating of 3 has experienced an extended decline in operating performance, a significant deviation from its origination plan or the occurrence of one or more surveillance trigger events which create an increased risk for potential default. Loans identified in this category show some liquidity concerns. However, the risk of loss is not specifically assignable to any individual loan. The noted risk of the loans in this category is generally covered by general reserves;
4.
A loan with a rating of a 4 is considered to be in payment default or default is expected, full recovery of the unpaid principal balance is improbable and loss is considered probable. The noted risk of the loans in this category is covered by specific reserves.
Credit risk profiles of CRE loans are as follows (in thousands):

Pursuant to our strategic Plan, certain legacy CRE loans were moved to loans held for sale and included in assets held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or fair value on our balance sheet at June 30, 2017 and  December 31, 2016 , respectively.
(2)
Includes one loan with a maturity date of May 2017 that is currently in default.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had  one  CRE loan with a credit quality rating of 4 due to short term vacancy/tenant concerns and a past due maturity date of February 2017. The loan is collateralized by a retail shopping center in Roswell, GA and had an amortized cost of  $7.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . For the period ended December 31, 2016 , we obtained an appraisal and used the value indicated in the appraisal as a practical expedient in determining the fair value of the loan. The appraisal indicated a fair value of  $4.5 million and we recorded a specific provision of  $2.5 million on the loan during the fourth quarter of 2016. No additional provision was recorded on the loan for the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 . This loan is in default at June 30, 2017 .
At December 31, 2016 , we had eight legacy CRE whole loans and one mezzanine loan included in assets held for sale with a total carrying value of $158.2 million . Appraisals, as a practical expedient for fair value, were obtained for all eight legacy CRE loans classified as assets held for sale. The mezzanine loan had a fair value of $0 . We recorded, and subsequently charged off upon transfer of the loans to assets held for sale, specific reserves on  four  of the five loans transferred to assets held for sale totaling  $15.8 million , where the carrying values of the loans exceeded their fair values. These  five  loans had a collective carrying value of  $110.7 million  at  December 31, 2016  and were comprised of the following:

(Back to Index)

Two loans cross-collateralized by a hotel in Studio City, CA, with an initial par value of $67.5 million . These loans were written down to their collective appraised value of $61.4 million . The loans had a maturity date of February 2017. On June 30, 2017, the borrower sold the collateral underlying these loans. Proceeds of $67.0 million are included in principal receivable at June 30, 2017 and was received in July 2017. As a result of this transaction, we realized a gain of $5.6 million included in our consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives during the three months ended June 30, 2017 ;
One loan collateralized by a hotel in Tucson, AZ with an initial par value of $32.5 million . This loan was written down to its appraised value of $14.3 million . On February 28, 2017, we entered into a discounted payoff agreement with its borrower and received proceeds of $21.3 million in satisfaction of this loan. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a realized gain of $7.0 million on our consolidated statements of operations as net realized and unrealized gain on sales of investment securities available-for-sale and loans and derivatives;
One  loan collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ with an initial par value of  $17.7 million . This loan was written down to its appraised value of  $11.0 million . The loan had a maturity date of May 2017 and is currently in default;
One  loan collateralized by a hotel in Palm Springs, CA with an initial par value of  $29.5 million . This loan was written down to its appraised value of  $24.0 million .
As a result of the repayments of CRE loans held for sale discussed above on the Studio City, CA and Tuscon, AZ properties, two of the five aforementioned legacy CRE loans remain at June 30, 2017 and have a collective carrying value of $35.0 million .

At June 30, 2017 , 49% , 37% and 14% of our legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively. Of these loans, 86% are within California and  14% are within Arizona. At  December 31, 2016 54% 39%  and  7%  of our legacy CRE whole loans were concentrated in hotel, retail and office, respectively. Of these loans,  84%  are within California and  16%  are within Arizona.
    
Three  loans held for sale with a collective carrying value of  $44.6 million  at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 had fair values in excess of their carrying values. Before being transferred to assets held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016, these loans were risked-rated in category 1 or category 2.

All of the Company's CRE whole loans are current with respect to contractual principal and interest except two . One defaulted loan is supported by a property in Roswell, GA and had a carrying value of $4.5 million at June 30, 2017 . The other is collateralized by an office property in Phoenix, AZ and had a collective carrying value, which is the lower of its cost or fair market value, of  $11.0 million .

All of our CRE whole loans were current with respect to contractual principal and interest except  two  of our legacy CRE whole loans at  December 31, 2016 . The  two  loans are cross-collateralized by a property in Studio City, CA. The loans had a collective carrying value, which was the lower of cost or fair market value, of  $61.4 million  at  December 31, 2016 .
Syndicated Corporate Loans

Loans are graded at inception and updated as new information is received. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 representing our highest rating and 5 representing our lowest rating. Syndicated corporate loans are first individually evaluated for impairment. To the extent no individual impairment is determined, a general reserve is established.

The characteristics of each rating category are as follows:
1.
Loans with a rating of 1 are considered performing within expectations. All interest and principal payments are current, all future payments are anticipated and loss is not probable;
2.
Loans with a rating of a 2 are considered to have limited liquidity concerns and are watched closely. Loans identified in this category show remote signs of liquidity concerns, loss is not probable and therefore no reserve is established;
3.
Loans with a rating of a 3 are considered to have possible future liquidity concerns. Loans identified in this category show some liquidity concerns, but the ability to estimate potential defaults is not quantifiable and therefore no reserve is established;
4.
Loans with a rating of a 4 are considered to have nearer term liquidity concerns. These loans have a reasonable possibility of future default. However, the risk of loss is not assignable to one specific credit. The noted risk of the loans in this category is covered by general reserves; and

5.
Loans with a rating of a 5 have defaulted in payment of principal and interest or default is imminent. It is probable that impairment has occurred on these loans based on their payment status and that impairment is estimable. The noted risk of the loans in this category is covered by specific reserves.

At June 30, 2017 , we had interest receivable of $6.3 million , which primarily consisted of interest on our loans and securities and $7,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. At December 31, 2016 , we had interest receivable of $6.4 million , which primarily consisted of interest on our loans and securities and $7,000 of interest earned on escrow and sweep accounts. The $37,000 increase in interest receivable from loans is primarily attributable to new loan production offset by loan payoffs during the six months ended June 30, 2017 .  The $108,000 decrease in interest receivable from securities is attributable to multiple factors including the sale of Harvest CLO VII and Harvest CLO VIII and paydowns on CMBS, partially offset by the purchase of new CMBS and the substantial liquidation of our trading portfolio.

Other assets decreased by $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . At December 31, 2016 we had a receivable of $9.4 million from the sale of our investment in ZAIS, all of which was received in January 2017. At June 30, 2017 , we had a receivable of $3.1 million from the unsettled sale of Harvest CLO VII, which constitutes the majority of our other receivables balance. Management fees receivable increased by $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase was due to the recognition of projected fee rebate cash flows in the amount of $1.5 million from Harvest CLO VII and Harvest CLO VIII, triggered by sales of these investments. Additionally, the increase of $545,000 in tax receivable and prepaid taxes is due to the timing of the payment of taxes.

Deferred tax assets, net, decreased by $15,000 to $4.2 million at June 30, 2017 from $4.3 million at December 31, 2016 . The future realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Due to changes in management's focus regarding the non-CRE businesses, management believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from these deferred tax assets will not be completely realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2017 . We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.

Core and Non-Core Asset Classes

Our investment strategy targets the following core asset class:
CRE/Core Asset Class
 
Principal Investments
 
 
 
 
Commercial real estate-related assets
 
Ÿ
First mortgage loans, which we refer to as whole loans;
 
 
Ÿ
First priority interests in first mortgage loans, which we refer to as A notes;
 
 
Ÿ
Subordinated interests in first mortgage loans, which we refer to as B notes;
 
 
Ÿ
Mezzanine debt that is senior to the borrower's equity position but subordinated to other third-party debt; and
 
 
Ÿ
Commercial mortgage-backed securities, which we refer to as CMBS.
 
In November 2016, we received approval from our board of directors to execute a strategic plan, or the Plan, to focus our strategy on CRE debt investments.  The Plan contemplates disposing of certain legacy CRE debt investments, exiting underperforming non-core asset classes and establishing a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings.  Legacy CRE loans are loans originated prior to 2010. The non-core asset classes in which we have historically invested are expected to be substantially disposed of over the next 12 months and are described in the following table of non-core asset classes:
 
Non-Core Asset Classes
 
 
 
Residential real estate-related assets
 
Ÿ
Residential mortgage loans; and
 
 
 
Residential mortgage-backed securities, which we refer to as RMBS, which comprise our available for sale portfolio.
 
 
 
 
Commercial finance assets
 
Ÿ
Middle-market secured corporate loans and preferred equity investments; and
 
 
Ÿ
Asset-backed securities, which we refer to as ABS, backed by senior secured corporate loans;
 
 
Ÿ
Debt tranches of collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations, which we refer to as CDOs and CLOs, respectively, and sometimes, collectively, as CDOs;
 
 
Ÿ
Structured note investments, which comprise our trading securities portfolio;
 
 
Ÿ
Syndicated corporate loans; and
 
 
Ÿ
Preferred equity investment in a commercial leasing enterprise that originates and holds small- and middle-ticket commercial direct financing leases and notes.

(1) Includes mortgage services rights ("MSRs") with a fair value of $19.0 million and $14.4 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. MSRs are recorded at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value utilizing the valuation services of an independent third party. The key assumptions used in the estimation of fair value include prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, cost to service, contractual servicing fees and escrow earnings.
(2) Includes our investment in life settlement contracts of $6.3 million and $5.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, which were transferred to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016.

We are in compliance with all financial covenants in each of the respective agreements at June 30, 2017 .    
CMBS - Term Repurchase Facilities
In May 2016, we entered into an agreement, governed by the Deutsche Bank facility, with Deutsche Bank which allowed us to enter into transactions in which RCC Real Estate and Deutsche Bank agree to transfer from RCC Real Estate to Deutsche Bank all of their right, title and interest to certain CMBS and other assets against the transfer of funds by Deutsche Bank to RCC Real Estate, with a simultaneous agreement by Deutsche Bank to transfer back to RCC Real Estate such assets at a date certain, against the transfer of funds from RCC Real Estate to Deutsche Bank. In May 2017, Deutsche Bank approved the extension of the agreement to May 2018.
Short-Term Repurchase Agreements - CMBS
In November 2012, RCC Real Estate entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement (the "JP Morgan Securities Facility") with JP Morgan Securities LLC to finance the purchase of CMBS. In April 2017 , we entered into the first amendment of the JP Morgan Securities Facility which amended the minimum shareholders' equity of the guarantor and maximum leverage ratio covenants. We had no outstanding borrowings payable under the JP Morgan Securities Facility at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .
Securitizations
At June 30, 2017 , we retain equity in six of the securitizations we had executed.
Hedging Instruments
A significant market risk to us is interest rate risk.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.  Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with the interest-bearing liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of our interest-earning assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets.  A decline in the value of our interest-earning assets pledged as collateral for borrowings could result in the counterparties demanding additional

(Back to Index)

(Back to Index)

collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels. We seek to mitigate the potential impact on net income of periodic and lifetime coupon adjustment restrictions in our investment portfolio by entering into interest rate hedging agreements. We classify these hedges as cash flow hedges, which are hedges that eliminate the risk of changes in the cash flows of a financial asset or liability. We record changes in fair value of derivatives designated and effective as cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income, and records changes in fair value of derivatives designated and ineffective as cash flow hedges in earnings.
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, a form of risk that arises from the change in price of one currency against another. Substantially all of our revenues are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, a significant amount of our capital is exposed to other currencies, primarily the Euro and, to a lesser extent, the pound sterling. To address this market risk, we generally hedge our foreign currency-denominated exposures (typically investments in debt instruments, including forecasted principal and interest payments) with foreign currency forward contracts. We classify these hedges as fair value hedges, which are hedges that mitigate the risk of changes in the fair values of assets, liabilities, and certain types of firm commitments. We record changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and effective as fair value hedges in earnings offset by corresponding changes in the fair values of the hedged items.
The following tables present the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on our consolidated balance sheets and on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

Core Earnings
Beginning with the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, we use Core Earnings as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. We previously used Adjusted Funds from Operations as a non-GAAP measure of operating performance.
Core Earnings exclude the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not indicative of our current CRE loan portfolio and other CRE related investments and operations. Core Earnings exclude income (loss) from all non-core assets, such as Commercial Finance, Middle Market Lending, Residential Mortgage Lending, legacy CRE loans and other non-CRE assets designated as assets held for sale at the initial measurement date. (1)
Core Earnings is defined as GAAP net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) incentive fees payable to our external manager, (iii) unrealized gains and losses, (iv) non-cash provisions for loan losses, (v) non-cash impairments on securities, (vi) non-cash amortization of discounts or premiums associated with borrowings, (vii) net income or loss from a limited partnership interest owned at the initial measurement date, (viii) net income or loss from non-core assets, (2) (ix) real estate depreciation and amortization and (x) foreign currency gains or losses. Core Earnings may also be adjusted periodically to exclude certain one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash items.
Core Earnings does not represent net income or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income or as a measure of liquidity under GAAP. Our methodology for calculating Core Earnings may differ from methodologies used by other companies to calculate similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Core Earnings may not be comparable to similar performance measures used by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In November 2016 the board of directors approved the Plan, pursuant to which we are focused on making CRE debt investments going forward. The Plan includes disposing of certain non-core businesses and investments and underperforming legacy CRE loans ("Identified Assets"), as well as maintaining a dividend policy based on sustainable earnings. As part of the Plan, the Identified Assets were reclassified as discontinued operations ("Discops") and/or assets held for sale ("AHFS") during the fourth quarter of 2016. The following table delineates these disposable investments by business segment and details the current net book value of the businesses and investments included in the Plan (in millions):

Commercial Finance Assets decreased by $1.5 million related to the reclassification of certain assets to other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , our principal sources of liquidity were: (i) proceeds of $33.6 million from our commercial finance segment (ii) proceeds of $31.7 million from repayments on our CRE loan portfolio, (iii) proceeds of $21.3 million from the sale of legacy CRE loans previously classified as assets held for sale, (iv) proceeds of $16.2 million from the sale of our equity interest in an investment in an unconsolidated entity, (v) proceeds of $5.2 million from the sale of a middle market loan that was classified as a receivable at December 31, 2016, (vi) proceeds of $2.9 million from a paydown of a legacy CRE loan classified as an asset held for sale and (vii) proceeds of $2.6 million from the sale of PCM's residential mortgage lending operating platform and certain other assets and liabilities. These sources of liquidity substantially provided the $102.7 million of unrestricted cash we held at June 30, 2017. In addition, we have $79.6 million of capital available through a CMBS term facility to help finance the purchase of CMBS securities and $241.3 million from two CRE term facilities for the origination of CRE loans at June 30, 2017. Through June 30, 2017, we have monetized $196.6 million of the investments that were included in the Plan and expect to continue this disposition process during the remainder of 2017. On July 31, 2017, we received cash proceeds of $84.3 million in connection with the sale of LEAF Commercial Capital (“LCC”), an equity method investment carried on the balance sheet at $43.2 million at June 30, 2017 . Including this transaction, we have monetized $280.9 million of investments included in the Strategic Plan. This transaction, net of tax, is expected to increase book value by approximately $1.00 per common share.
On February 27, 2012, we entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement (the "Wells CRE Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, NA to finance the origination of CRE loans. The Wells CRE Facility has a maximum capacity of $400.0 million and a maturity date of July 21, 2018, subject to three one-year extension rights which may extend the maturity to July 21, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we amended certain financial covenants within the Wells CRE Facility and we are in full compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017 .
On September 10, 2015, we entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement ("Morgan Stanley Facility") with Morgan Stanley Bank, NA to finance the origination of CRE loans. The Morgan Stanley Facility has a maximum capacity of $250.0 million and an initial three year term that expires on September 10, 2018 with annual one year extension options. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we amended certain financial covenants within the Morgan Stanley Facility and we are in full compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017 .

In February 2011, we entered into a master repurchase and securities agreement ("Wells CMBS Facility") to finance the purchase of CMBS. The maximum amount of the Wells CMBS Facility is $100.0 million which we extended to March 31, 2018 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We may enter into interest rate swaps and cap agreements for securities whose average life exceeds two years to mitigate interest rate risk under the Wells CMBS Facility. During the first quarter of 2017, we amended certain financial covenants within the Wells CMBS Facility and we are in full compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017 .

Our on-going liquidity needs consist principally of funds to make investments, make debt repurchases, make distributions to our stockholders and pay our operating expenses, including management fees.  Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs will be subject to our ability to generate cash from operations and, with respect to our investments, our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to above.  
During the past four years, we have been meeting a significant portion of our debt funding requirements for CRE loans through securitizations. We utilized securitization financing structures over that time with just in excess of $1.3 billion of mortgage loans financed during that period. We expect to derive substantial operating cash from our equity investments in the four newest securitizations, which do not have the same asset and interest coverage tests as are required by our legacy CDOs. The CRE securitizations do not have a reinvestment period; however, principal payments, for a stipulated period, may be used to purchase funding participations with respect to existing collateral held outside of the securitizations. For a limited period of time, this will allow us to recycle some capital repaid and convert the designated principal for funded companion participation acquisition cash which would otherwise be used to pay down the most senior notes and reduce leverage and potential returns within the securitization. The stipulated period expired for RCC 2014-CRE2 and RCC 2015-CRE3 in August 2016 and February 2017, respectively. The stipulated period will expire for RCC 2015-CRE4 in August 2017.
Historically, we have financed a substantial portion of our portfolio investments through CDOs and securitizations that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. We have in the past derived substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CDOs and securitizations which, if the CDOs and securitizations fail to meet certain tests, will cease. Through June 30, 2017 , we did not experience difficulty in maintaining our existing CDO and securitization financing and passed all of the critical tests required by these financings. We have called or substantially liquidated each of our remaining legacy CRE and commercial finance CDOs during 2016, which removes the requirement for us to maintain these tests going forward.
At June 30, 2017 , $61.0 million of notes remained outstanding in our RCC 2014-CRE2 securitization.  In July, both a multifamily property loan in Houston, TX with a balance of $75.6 million and a retail property in Hermosa Beach, CA with a balance of $11.0 million paid-off and, as a consequence, we expect the CRE securitization to liquidate in August 2017.  We anticipate receiving proceeds of approximately $25.6 million and the remaining loan collateral of $93.0 million in the liquidation.

Resource Capital Corp. 2014-CRE2 has no reinvestment period; however, principal repayments, for a period which ended in July 2016, may be designated to purchase loans held outside of the securitization that represent the funded commitments of existing collateral in the securitization that were not funded as of the date the securitization was closed. Additionally, the securitization does not contain any interest coverage test provisions.
(3)
Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE3 closed on February 24, 2015; the first distribution was in March 2015. There is no reinvestment period; however, principal repayments, for a period ending in February 2017, may be designated to purchase loans held outside of the securitization that represent the funded commitments of existing collateral in the securitization that were not funded as of the date the securitization was closed. Additionally, the indenture does not contain any interest coverage test provisions.

Moselle CLO S.A. was acquired on February 24, 2014, and the reinvestment period for this securitization expired prior to the acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we began to liquidate Moselle CLO S.A. and by January 2015 all of the assets were sold.
(6)
RREF CDO 2006-1 was liquidated on April 25, 2016, and, as a result, all $65.7 million of the remaining assets, at fair value at the date of liquidation, were returned to us in exchange for our preference shares and equity notes in the securitization.
(7)
RREF CDO 2007-1 was liquidated on November 25, 2016, and, as a result, all $130.9 million of the remaining assets, at fair value at the date of liquidation, were returned to us in exchange for our preference shares and equity notes in the securitization.
(8)
Apidos Cinco was substantially liquidated on November 14, 2016. As a result of the liquidation, we received $20.4 million of cash and consolidated the remaining assets.
(9)
RCC CRE Notes 2013 was liquidated in December 2016, and, as a result, all $13.5 million of the remaining assets were returned to us in exchange for our preference share and equity notes in the securitization. We also received $33.4 million in principal on its preference share and equity notes.

At July 31, 2017, our liquidity consisted of two primary sources:    
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $282.8 million; and
$247.9 million and $191.5 million available under two term financing facilities to finance originations of CRE loans and $80.0 million available under a term financing facility to finance purchases of CMBS.    
Our leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of borrowings to stockholders' equity may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use.  At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our leverage ratio was 1.7 times and 1.9 times, respectively. The leverage ratio decline was driven primarily by the de-levering of our existing CRE securitizations and a reduction of our liabilities held for sale combined with an increase in stockholders’ equity.
Distributions
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT and to minimize corporate-level income tax on our income, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our net REIT taxable income to holders of our common stock.  This requirement can impact our liquidity and capital resources.

Contractual commitments on borrowings are presented net of deferred debt issuance costs and discounts.
(2)
Contractual commitments include $772,000 of interest expense accrued through June 30, 2017 on our repurchase facilities.
(3)
Contractual commitments do not include $32.7 million and $33.5 million of estimated interest expense payable through the maturity dates of June 2036 and October 2036, respectively, on our trust preferred securities.
(4)
Contractual commitments do not include $9.9 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of December 1, 2018 on our 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes.
(5)
Contractual commitments do not include $20.6 million of interest expense payable through the maturity date of January 15, 2020 on our 8.0% Convertible Senior Notes.
(6)
Unfunded commitments on our originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects; and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, we would receive additional loan interest income on the advanced amount.
(7)
Calculated only for the next 12 months based on our calculated equity, as defined in our management agreement.  Our management agreement also provides for an incentive fee arrangement that is based on operating performance.  Because the incentive fee is not a fixed and determinable amount, it is not included in this table.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
General
At June 30, 2017 , we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities not established for those purposes. Except as set forth below, at June 30, 2017 , we had not guaranteed obligations of any unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.
Unfunded CRE Loan Commitments

(Back to Index)
97



In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our CRE loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. These commitments generally fall into two categories: (i) pre-approved capital improvement projects and (ii) new or additional construction costs. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. Upon disbursement of funds, we receive loan interest income on any such advanced funds. At June 30, 2017 , we had 35 loans with unfunded commitments totaling $58.2 million, which we intend to fund through cash flow from normal operating activities and principal repayments on other loans in our portfolio. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial investments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide guarantees and indemnifications that contingently obligate us to make payments to the guaranteed or indemnified party based on changes in the value of an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed or indemnified party. As such, we may be obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform or achieve specified performance criteria, or we may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others.

ITEM 3 .
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At June 30, 2017 , the primary component of our market risk was interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed.
Effect on Fair Value
A component of interest rate risk is the effect changes in interest rates will have on the fair value of our assets. We face the risk that the fair value of our assets will increase or decrease at different rates than that of our liabilities, including our hedging instruments.
Primarily, we assess our interest rate risk by estimating the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Duration essentially measures the market price volatility of financial instruments as interest rates change. Generally, we calculate duration using various financial models and empirical data. Different models and methodologies can produce different duration numbers for the same securities.
The following sensitivity analysis tables present, at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the estimated impact on the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and liabilities of changes in interest rates, assuming rates instantaneously fall 100 basis points and rise 100 basis points (in thousands, except percentages):

(1) Includes the fair value of available-for-sale investments that are sensitive to interest rate change.
For purposes of the table, we have excluded our investments with variable interest rates that are indexed to LIBOR. Because the variable rates on these instruments are short-term in nature, we are not subject to material exposure to movements in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates. We had no derivative instruments that hedged interest rate risk at December 31, 2016 .
It is important to note that the impact of changing interest rates on fair value can change significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. Therefore, the volatility in the fair value of our assets could increase significantly when interest rates change beyond 100 basis points from current levels. In addition, other factors impact the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive investments and hedging instruments, such as the shape of the yield curve, market expectations as to future interest rate changes and other market conditions. Accordingly, in the event of changes in actual interest rates, the change in the

(Back to Index)

fair value of our assets would likely differ from that shown above and such difference might be material and adverse to our stockholders.
Risk Management
To the extent consistent with maintaining our status as a REIT, we seek to manage our interest rate risk exposure to protect our portfolio of fixed-rate CRE mortgages and CMBS and related debt against the effects of major interest rate changes. We generally seek to manage our interest rate risk by:
monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, the reset index and interest rate related to our mortgage-backed securities and our borrowings;
attempting to structure our borrowing agreements for our CMBS to have a range of different maturities, terms, amortizations and interest rate adjustment periods; and
using derivatives, financial futures, swaps, options, caps, floors and forward sales, to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of our fixed-rate CRE mortgages and CMBS and our borrowing which we discuss in "Financial Condition-Hedging Instruments."


ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 2015, Daren Levin filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who purchased our common stock between March 2, 2015 and August 4, 2015.  In November 2015, the Court appointed Douglas Drees as the lead plaintiff in the action, and thereafter entered a stipulation and order directing the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint.  In February 2016, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that we and certain of our officers and directors materially misrepresented certain risks of our commercial loan portfolio and processes and controls for assessing the quality of our portfolio.  Based on these allegations, the amended complaint asserts claims for violation of the securities laws and seeks a variety of relief, including unspecified monetary damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees.  On June 2, 2017, a second amended complaint was filed which added a new class of Series B and Series C preferred shareholders. The parties have now commenced discovery and the plaintiff has filed a motion for class certification.  We believe the amended complaint is without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
              In December 2015, Josh Reaves filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York alleging that certain current and former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties by causing us to misrepresent certain risks of its commercial loan portfolio, by failing to employ adequate internal and financial controls and by failing to disclose the alleged internal control deficiencies.  The complaint, which also asserts an unjust enrichment claim against the defendants, purports to seek relief on behalf of us for unspecified damages as well as costs and attorneys’ fees.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf. 

                In January 2017, Joseph Greenberg filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as Resource Capital Manager, Inc. and Resource America, Inc.  In addition to asserting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against certain of our current and former officers and directors that are substantially similarly to those at issue in the Reaves action, the Greenberg complaint asserts three new claims on our behalf: (i) a claim under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, based on allegations that the defendants caused us to issue misleading proxy statements between 2014 and 2015, (ii) a claim against the individual defendants for waste of corporate assets, based on allegations that the defendants caused us to pay excessive fees to Resource Capital Manager, Inc., to expend resources in defending against the Levin Action, and to pay improper compensation and bonuses to certain officers and directors, and (iii) a claim against Resource America, Inc. and Resource Capital Manager, Inc. for unjust enrichment, based on allegations that these defendants were unjustly enriched through the payment of excessive management fees.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

                In January 2017, Robert Canoles filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors.  The Canoles complaint asserts a single claim on our behalf under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, based on allegations that the defendants caused us to issue misleading proxy statements from 2013 to 2015.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

                In January 2017, James M. DeCaro, for the benefit of Charles J. DeCaro, filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as Resource Capital Manager, Inc. and Resource America, Inc.  The DeCaro complaint asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty, a claim under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, and claims for corporate waste and unjust enrichment, all of which are substantially similar to the claims at issue in the Greenberg action.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

                In February 2017, Patrick Caito filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as Resource Capital Manager, Inc. and Resource America, Inc.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, and DeCaro actions.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

                In February 2017, Mark McKinney filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors alleging claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act and for breach

(Back to Index)
101

(Back to Index)

of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment that are substantially similar to claims asserted in the Reaves, Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro, and Caito actions.  Mr. McKinney previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate certain of these claims, which was ultimately denied.  We believe Mr. McKinney’s allegations are without merit, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

                In March 2017, John Simpson filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as our Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, DeCaro and Caito actions.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

                In March 2017, Kelly Sue Heckel filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as our Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, DeCaro and Caito actions.  We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

In March 2017, Dave Sherek and Robert H. Spiegel filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors alleging claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act and for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment that are substantially similar to claims asserted in the Reaves, Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro, and Caito actions. Messrs. Sherek and Spiegel previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate certain of these claims, which were ultimately denied. We believe the Sherek/Speigel allegations are without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

In April 2017, Rick Sebenoler filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors, as well as the our Manager and Resource America.  The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves, Greenberg, DeCaro and Caito actions.  The plaintiff previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate certain of these claims, which were ultimately denied. We believe the Sebenoler action is without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

In April 2017, Abigail Gehan and Zachary Gehan filed a shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors alleging claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Act and for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment that are substantially similar to claims asserted in the Reaves, Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro, and Caito actions. We believe that the plaintiff, who failed to make a pre-suit demand on the board of directors, lacks standing to assert claims derivatively on our behalf.

In May 2017, Sharron Schwartz filed a shareholder derivative suit in the Supreme Court of New York against certain of our current and former officers and directors. The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims that are substantially similar to those at issue in the Reaves action. Ms. Schwartz previously made a demand on the board of directors to investigate the claims, which was ultimately denied. We believe that the Schwartz action is without merit and we intend to defend ourselves rigorously.

In May 2017, the Court consolidated the McKinney, Sherek and Sebenoler matters as the “Federal Demand Refused Actions.” Lead counsel was appointed in the Federal Demand Refused Actions on May 18, 2017, and the consolidated complaint was filed on June 30, 2017.

In May 2017, the Court also consolidated the Greenberg, Canoles, DeCaro and Gehan matters as the “Federal Demand Futile Actions.” The consolidated complaint is due by August 21, 2017.

In June 2017, the Court ordered the consolidation of the Reaves, Caito, Simpson and Heckel matter (collectively, the “State Court Matters”) and stayed the State Court Matters in favor of the federal suits. On July 18, 2017, the Schwartz matter was stayed as well pursuant to a stipulation of the parties.

One of our subsidiaries is the subject of a lawsuit brought in 2014 by the purchaser of a hotel from such subsidiary. The complaint asserts breach of contract claims for non-payment of certain fees and expenses.  We believe the complaint is without merit and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
PCM is a party to various claims and legal proceedings at various times. If PCM believes that a loss arising from any of these matters is probable and can be reasonably estimated, the loss is recorded. Currently, the only litigation involving PCM is

(Back to Index)
102

(Back to Index)

related to claims for repurchases or indemnifications on loans that PCM has sold to investors.  Such claims are included in the reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications. The reserve for mortgage repurchases and indemnifications was $4.7 million and $4.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Loans on one-to-four family residential mortgages originated by PCM are sold to various financial institutions and governmental entities with representations and warranties that are usual and customary for the industry. In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties related to a loan sold, PCM may be required to indemnify the investor against future losses, repurchase the mortgage loan or reimburse the investor for actual losses incurred (referred to as "make whole payments").  The maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of an indemnification or loan repurchase would be the unpaid principal balance of the loan along with any premium paid by the investor when the loan was purchased, accrued but unpaid interest and other minor cost reimbursements.  This maximum exposure is at least partially mitigated by the value of the collateral underlying the mortgage loan.
At June 30, 2017 , outstanding demands for indemnification, repurchase or make whole payments totaled approximately $12.0 million .
The most significant remaining demands against PCM are from Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. ("LBHI"), which filed suit against PCM and approximately 150 sellers on February 3, 2016 alleging breaches of representations and warranties made on loans sold to LBHI. The repurchase claims asserted by LBHI relate to loans sold to LBHI that were subsequently sold by LBHI to either FNMA or FHLMC.  PCM has established a reserve for these asserted claims at June 30, 2017 .  PCM sold additional loans to LBHI that were subsequently securitized and sold as residential MBS (RMBS) by LBHI.  Claims have been asserted by the RMBS investors against LBHI but no amounts have been paid by LBHI and no claims have been asserted by LBHI against PCM.  No reserve has been established by PCM at June 30, 2017 for potential future claims related to loans sold to and securitized by LBHI.  PCM intends to defend the actions vigorously.

The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed suit, action, claim, proceeding, arbitration or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (any such suit, action, proceeding, arbitration or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation or administrative hearing being referred to herein as a “ Proceeding ”) (other than an action by or in the right of the Company or any Subsidiary (as defined below) of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliated entity (each, a “ Subsidiary ”) of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, employee or agent of another Person (as defined in Section 5(d)), against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, investigation expenses, expert witnesses’ and other expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense and/or settlement of such Proceeding (collectively, “ Expenses ”) if Indemnitee (i) acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) did not actually receive an improper personal benefit in money, property or services and (iii) with



respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
(b)     Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company or any Subsidiary . The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by or in the right of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, employee or agent of another Person, against Expenses in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company and its stockholders unless and only to the extent that the Circuit Court of the State of Maryland, or the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine that in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and then only to the extent that the court shall determine.
(c)     Selection of Counsel . If the Company shall be obligated under Section 1(a) or (b) hereof to pay Expenses of Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee (who shall not unreasonably withhold such approval), upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that , (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense and shall have notified the Company in writing thereof, (C) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and other indemnitees of the Company being represented by counsel retained by the Company in the same Proceeding and shall have notified the Company in writing thereof, or (D) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding within a reasonable time frame, then the reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
2.     Contribution . If, when Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 1 should, under applicable law, be to any extent unenforceable, then the Company agrees that it shall be treated as though it is or was a party to the threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which Indemnitee is or was involved and that the Company shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by Indemnitee as a result of

2



Expenses in third-party Proceedings in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other in connection with such action or inaction, or alleged action or inaction, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
For purposes of this Section 2, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the fault of the Company and all of its directors, officers, employees and agents (other than Indemnitee), as a group and treated as one entity, and such group’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to have altered or prevented the action or inaction, or alleged action or inaction, forming the basis for the threatened, pending or contemplated Proceeding, and Indemnitee’s relative fault in light of such factors on the other hand.
3.     Limitations to Rights of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . Except as otherwise provided in Section 9 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses (collectively, “ Indemnified Amounts ”) under this Agreement:
(a)    with respect to any Proceeding initiated, brought or made by or on behalf of Indemnitee (i) against the Company, unless a Change in Control (as defined in Section 3(h) of this Agreement) shall have occurred, or (ii) against any Person other than the Company, unless approved in advance by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”);
(b)    on account of any Proceeding in which it shall be determined by final judgment by a court having jurisdiction in the matter that Indemnitee intentionally caused or intentionally contributed to the injury complained of, with the knowledge that such injury would occur;
(c)    on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which shall be determined by final judgment by a court having jurisdiction in the matter that Indemnitee was knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or engaged in willful misconduct or that Indemnitee received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services;
(d)    with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such Proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;
(e)    for any Indemnified Amounts or other amounts which have been paid to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the Company;
(f)    if the Company has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (as hereinafter defined), for any Indemnified Amounts or the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of

3



Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), or any similar successor statute; or
(g)    if it shall be determined by final judgment by a court having jurisdiction in the matter that such indemnification is not lawful.
(h)    “ Change in Control means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)    the Company is merged, consolidated or reorganized into or with another corporation or other entity and, as a result of such merger, consolidation or reorganization, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation or entity immediately after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of voting stock immediately prior to such transaction;
(ii)    the Company sells or otherwise transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other entity in which, after giving effect to such sale or transfer, the holders of voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such sale or transfer hold in the aggregate less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such other corporation;
(iii)    if the Company has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, there is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein), each as promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, disclosing that any person or entity, other than any stockholder of the Company (and its Affiliates) owning 10% or more of the Company’s voting stock on the date hereof, has become the beneficial owner (as the term “beneficial owner” is defined under Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s voting stock; or
(iv)    if, during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided , however , that for purposes of this clause (iv) each director of the Company who is first elected, or first nominated for election by the Company’s stockholders, by a vote of at least a majority of the directors of the Company (or a committee of the Board) then still in office who were directors of the Company at the beginning of any such period shall be deemed to have been a director of the Company at the beginning of such period.
Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) above, unless otherwise determined in the specific case by majority vote of the Board, a “ Change in Control ” shall not be deemed to have occurred solely because the Company, any Subsidiary or any employee stock ownership plan or other employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary either files or becomes obligated to file a report or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule 13D, Schedule TO or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form or report or item therein) under the

4



Exchange Act disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of voting stock of the Company, whether in excess of 50% or otherwise.
(i)    “ Affiliate ” means with respect to any Person (i) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such Person, (ii) any officer or general partner of such Person, and (iii) any legal entity for which such Person acts an executive officer or general partner.
4.     Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification .

(a)    To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary of the Company a written request for payment of the appropriate Indemnified Amounts, including with such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to such Indemnified Amounts. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b)    The Company shall pay Indemnitee the appropriate Indemnified Amounts unless it is established that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Charter, the Bylaws or Maryland law or is not otherwise entitled to receive the Indemnified Amounts under this Agreement. For purposes of determining whether Indemnitee is entitled to Indemnified Amounts, in order to deny indemnification to Indemnitee the Company has the burden of proof in establishing that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct. In this regard, a termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct; provided , however , that the termination of any criminal proceeding by conviction, or a pleading of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct.
(c)    Any determination that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to qualify for indemnification or is not otherwise entitled to receive the Indemnified Amounts under this Agreement shall be made either (i) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties of such Proceeding or (ii) by Independent Counsel (as defined below); provided that the manner in which (and, if applicable, the Independent Counsel by which) the right to indemnification is to be determined shall be approved in advance in writing by both the highest ranking executive officer of the Company who is not party to such action (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “ Senior Officer ”) and by Indemnitee. In the event that such parties are unable to agree on the manner in which any such determination is to be made, such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel retained by the Company for such purpose, provided that such counsel is approved in advance in writing by both the Senior Officer and Indemnitee. The reasonable fees and expenses of such Independent Counsel in connection with making said determination contemplated hereunder shall be paid by the Company, and, if requested by such counsel, the Company shall give such

5



counsel an appropriate written agreement with respect to the payment of their reasonable fees and expenses and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel. Indemnitee may make a written objection to the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected by the Company. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined that such objection is without merit. Either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court in the State of Maryland for resolution of any such objection which shall have been made. The party with respect to whom an objection is favorably resolved shall be paid all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 4(c). Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
(d)    The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to conclude as soon as practicable any required determination pursuant to subsection (c) above and promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Person or Persons making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such Person or Persons upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Payment of any applicable Indemnified Amounts will be made to Indemnitee within ten (10) days after any determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such payment.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitee may, at any time after sixty (60) days after a claim for Indemnified Amounts has been filed with the Company (or upon receipt of written notice that a claim for Indemnified Amounts has been rejected, if earlier) and before three (3) years after a claim for Indemnified Amounts has been filed, petition a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Maryland to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement, and such court shall thereupon have the exclusive authority to make such determination unless and until such court dismisses or otherwise terminates such action without having made such determination. The court shall, as petitioned, make an independent determination of whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as provided under this Agreement, irrespective of any prior determination made by the Board or Independent Counsel. If the court shall determine that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as to any claim, issue or matter involved in the Proceeding with respect to which there has been no prior determination pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to which there has been a prior determination that Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall pay Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial determination.
(f)    “ Independent Counsel ” means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither at the time in question, nor in the five (5) years immediately preceding such time, has

6



been retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “ Independent Counsel ” shall not include any Person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing under the laws of the State of Maryland, would be precluded from representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

5.     Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings .
(a)    In making a determination, with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Person or Persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, and the Company shall bear the burden of proof to rebut that presumption in connection with the making by any Person or Persons of any determination contrary to that presumption.
(b)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(c)    Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be conduct that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
(d)    For purposes of any determination hereunder, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action was based on (i) the records or books of account of the Company or another Person, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Company or another Person in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another Person, or (iv) information or records given or reports made to the Company or another Person by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another Person. The term “ Person ” as used in this Agreement shall mean any other individual or corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise.

7



6.     Success on Merits or Otherwise . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal thereof. For purposes of this Section 6, the term “ successful on the merits or otherwise ” shall include, but not be limited to, (i) any termination, withdrawal or dismissal (with or without prejudice) of any Proceeding (or any claim, issue or matter therein) against Indemnitee without any express finding of liability or guilt against him or her, (ii) the expiration of 180 days after the making of any claim or threat of a Proceeding without the institution of the same and without any promise of payment or payment made to induce a settlement or (iii) the settlement of any Proceeding (or any claim, issue or matter therein) pursuant to which Indemnitee pays less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00).
7.     Partial Indemnification . If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.
8.     Costs . The Company shall also be solely responsible for paying (i) all reasonable expenses incurred by Indemnitee to enforce this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the costs incurred by Indemnitee to obtain court-ordered indemnification pursuant to Section 11, regardless of the outcome of any such application or proceeding, and (ii) all costs of defending any Proceedings challenging payments to Indemnitee under this Agreement.
9.     Advance of Expenses .
(a)    Indemnitee hereby is granted the right to receive in advance of a final, nonappealable judgment or other final adjudication of a Proceeding (a “ Final Determination ”) the amount of any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (such amounts so expended or incurred being referred to as “ Advanced Amounts ”).
(b)    In making any written request for Advanced Amounts, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the dollar amount of Expenses expended or incurred and expected to be expended. Each such listing shall be supported by the bill, agreement or other documentation relating thereto, each of which shall be appended to the schedule as an exhibit. In addition, before Indemnitee may receive Advanced Amounts from the Company, Indemnitee shall provide to the Company (i) a written affirmation of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “ MGCL ”), the Charter and the Bylaws required for indemnification by the Company has been satisfied by Indemnitee, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay the Advanced Amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct or is not otherwise entitled to receive indemnification under this Agreement. The written undertaking required from Indemnitee shall be an unlimited general obligation of Indemnitee but need not be secured. The Company shall pay to Indemnitee all Advanced Amounts within twenty (20) days

8



after receipt by the Company of all information and documentation required to be provided by Indemnitee pursuant to this subsection.
10.     Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, employee or agent of another Person, a witness in any Proceeding, whether instituted by the Company or any other party, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.
11.     Enforcement .
(a)    If a claim for indemnification or advancement of Expenses made to the Company pursuant to Section 4 or 9 is not timely paid in full to Indemnitee by the Company as required by Section 4 or 9, respectively, Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the Company’s obligations to make such payment in an appropriate court of the State of Maryland. In the event that a determination is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, (i) Indemnitee may seek a de novo adjudication of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement by an appropriate court of the State of Maryland; (ii) any such judicial proceeding shall not in any way be prejudiced by, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced in any way by, such adverse determination; and (iii) in any such judicial proceeding the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement. Indemnitee shall commence a proceeding seeking an adjudication of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses pursuant to the preceding sentence within six (6) months following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 11(a).
(b)    The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a) that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
(c)    In any action brought under this Section 11, it shall be a defense to a claim for indemnification (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of Expenses) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the MGCL, the Charter and the Bylaws for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. The burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company.
12.     Liability Insurance and Funding . To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director or officer of the Company. If, at the time of the

9



receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of any Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. The Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance.
13.     Merger or Consolidation . In the event that the Company shall be a constituent corporation in a merger, consolidation or other reorganization, the Company shall require as a condition thereto, (a) if it shall not be the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation therein, the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation to agree to indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent provided herein, and (b) whether or not the Company is the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation therein, Indemnitee shall also stand in the same position under this Agreement with respect to the surviving, resulting or acquiring corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to the Company if the Company’s separate existence had continued; provided, however, that in the event the surviving entity in any such merger or consolidation shall be formed in a state other than the State of Maryland under the MGCL or in Maryland under another statute and the laws of such other state or such statute provide greater rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses than are provided under the MGCL or the law of Maryland, the Indemnitee shall have such rights to the extent they are greater as provided pursuant to the laws of such other state or such other statute.
14.     Nondisclosure of Payments . Except as expressly required by federal securities laws or other applicable laws or regulations or by judicial process, Indemnitee shall not disclose any payments made under this Agreement, whether indemnification or advancement of Expenses, unless prior written approval of the Company is obtained; provided that Indemnitee may, without such approval, disclose the payments to Indemnitee’s spouse and immediate family members, attorney(s), accountant(s) and tax advisor(s), as reasonably necessary.
15.     Nonexclusivity and Severability; Subrogation .
(a)    The right to indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Charter, the Bylaws, the MGCL, Maryland law or any other statute, insurance policy, agreement, vote of stockholders of the Company or of the Board (or otherwise), both as to actions in his or her official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided , however , that to the extent Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification and/or advancement of Expenses under any provision of the Charter, the Bylaws or any provision of the MGCL or Maryland law, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have such greater right pursuant to this Agreement; and, provided , further , that to the extent that any change is made to the MGCL or Maryland law (whether by legislative action or judicial decision), the Charter and/or the Bylaws that permits any greater right to indemnification and/or advancement of Expenses than that

10



provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have such greater right pursuant to this Agreement. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
(b)    If any provision or provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any provisions of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any provisions of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
(c)    In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all actions necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
16.     Notices . All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressed, on the date of such receipt, of (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice.
17.     Mutual Acknowledgement . Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances federal law or public policy may override applicable state law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws and federal legislation prohibits indemnification for certain ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company shall not be required to provide indemnification or advance Expenses in violation of any law or public policy.
18.     Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

11



19.     Consent to Jurisdiction . The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maryland for all purposes in connection with any action, suit or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement.
20.     Identical Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
21.     Modification; Survival . This Agreement may be modified only by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the death, disability or incapacity of Indemnitee or the termination of Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
22.     Waiver . Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms or provisions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such term or provision, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or remedy hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy at any other time or times. Such waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not affect any other term or condition of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Indemnification Agreement as of the date first above written.
