SECONDARIES HAVE LITTLE OR NO VALUE IN A DOWNTURN

Change in NAV Relative to Change in GAV with 75% LeverageWith a 40% Peak to Trough GAV Decline, Levered Equity Is Deeply Underwater Today

13

SECONDARIES HAVE LITTLE OR NO VALUE IN A DOWNTURN

Late Vintage Funds:•Overpaid for and overlevered their investments•25% property value decline wipes out 75% levered equity

Early Vintage Funds:•Remaining assets are often the weakest•Remaining assets may have been written-up and refinanced•Managers may be in the carry or catch-up phase

Low Levered Core Funds•Low yields require deep discounting to drive high target returns

14

SECONDARIES VOLUME SHOULD SLOW IN A DOWNTURN

The Bid/Ask Gap: Reported NAVs are Higher Than Market NAVs:•Managers have a natural owners’ bias •Write-downs can drive loan to value debt covenant breaches•There was scant transaction activity to apply as benchmarks•Reluctance to highlight poor performance relative to competitors’•LPs may not pressure managers to highlight poor performance

Buyers are Conservative: Nobody is getting kudos for making new investments in this market and making mistakes can be career ending

Sellers feel they are better off holding an option than giving their interests away

SECONDARIES VOLUME INCREASED IN THE DOWNTURN

Real Estate Secondary Transaction VolumeBeware of Falling Knives

16

WHO BOUGHT SECONDARIES DURING THE DOWTURN?

Secondaries Transactions Consummated:

LPs purchasing interests from other LPs

Inexperienced third party buyers

LPs driven by need for relief from future commitments selling at deep discounts (or paying buyers)

Fund , GP and LP recapitalizations (not true secondaries)

17

WHEN WILL THE REPE SECONDARY MARKET BE ATTRACTIVE?

When the bid ask gap narrows. This will occur when:

When it becomes clear that the real estate market is moving toward recovery

Foreclosures and REO sales occur on a massive scale to re-set pricing to intrinsic levels

When the credit markets fully rebound

THE DOWNCYCLE: CRE Delinquency Rates Spike

CRE Delinquency / Bank ChargeoffsDelinquencies Spike but Banks Slow to Foreclose– The Pain Has Yet To Be Felt

WHEN WILL THE REPE SECONDARY MARKET BECOME ROBUST?

THE NEED FOR REAL ESTATE RECAPITAZLIZATIONS

Background

72% of the $500b of REPE Fund Equity was raised between 1999 and 2008 - 50% of the $1 trillion in commercial mortgage debt outstanding was issued between 2005 and 2007: Assets are over-levered and face maturing debt Assets need capital to deal with maturing debt as well as for capex and operations But commitments to funds are either fully drawn or expired – LPs have little interest in investing more capital into troubled situations - credit is still difficult to obtain

21

THE NEED FOR REAL ESTATE RECAPITAZLIZATIONS

Defensive Needs

•Paying off maturing debt and funding equity gaps•Values have declined 40% to 50% and LTVs from 80% to 65%•$230 billion required to fund equity gap for the $1 trillion in maturing debt and $50 billion for the $125b REPE fund debt

•Paying Down Maturing Debt To Secure Term Extensions

•Covering Property and Fund-Level Carrying Costs

•Buying-out or Covering Obligations of Defaulting Partners

22

THE NEED FOR REAL ESTATE RECAPITAZLIZATIONS

Offensive Uses

•Buying Back Debt At Discounts

•Executing Value Added Business Plans

•Making Opportunistic Acquisitions

23

THE NEED FOR REAL ESTATE RECAPITAZLIZATIONS

Potential Sources of Capital

•Limited Partners Undrawn Commitments

•New Commitments From Limited Partners

•Traditional Lenders

•Liquidating Assets

•Third Party Specialists
