shareholder value.&#160;&#160;Under our policy, performance above identified

executive officer&#8217;s position and responsibility, while at the same time a
greater percentage of total compensation should be tied to corporate and
individual performance, and therefore be at risk, as position and responsibility
increases.&#160;&#160;For example, Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s annual discretionary bonus is
currently set at a maximum of 75% of his salary, and is determined based on the
achievement of certain objectives, primarily corporate objectives in a given
year, and including some individual objectives.&#160;&#160;In addition, as an
executive officer&#8217;s position and responsibility increases, the use of long-term
incentive compensation should increase where our executive officers have the

connection with the establishment of Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s compensation for 2007, Mr.
Benedetti prepared an analysis of the compensation structures of several public
companies consisting of Capstead Mortgage, MFA Mortgage, Redwood Trust, Saxon
Capital, and United Dominion Realty for the Committee&#8217;s use.&#160;&#160;The
Committee reviewed the amounts and forms of executive compensation and only used
these companies as a general guide in reviewing Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s compensation
structure in 2007.&#160;&#160;Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s overall compensation package was
lower than that of all five of the companies selected for similarly situated
officers. The Committee viewed the level of Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s compensation as
adequate given our activities and size versus the activities and size of other
companies reviewed. The Committee anticipates that Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s compensation
will be adjusted as the Company begins to be a more active investor than it has
been in the past several years.</font></div>

establishes the annual salary range for executive officers.&#160;&#160;In
establishing these ranges, the Compensation Committee balances the need to offer
salaries that are competitive with peer companies with the need to maintain
careful control of salary and benefits expense.&#160;&#160;For 2007, the
Committee also attempted to balance the fact that Mr. Benedetti was our sole
executive officer, which meant that retention was especially
important.</font></div>

at the beginning of the calendar year, and may be changed by the Committee based
on changes in the markets in which the Company invests and operates. As it
relates to Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s 2007 bonus, the Committee evaluated the performance
of Mr. Benedetti based on the Company&#8217;s financial performance, principally as it
related to growth in adjusted common book value per share relative to the target
of 7.5% for 2007, achievements in sourcing and making long-term investment
opportunities, achievements in resolving all litigation contingencies,
achievements in sourcing&#160;&#160;joint venture opportunities, ensuring our
compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the personal
observations of Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s performance by the members of the Compensation
Committee.&#160;&#160;The Committee weighed Mr. Benedetti&#8217;s performance during

Incentives.&#160;&#160;</font>The Compensation Committee may provide equity
incentives to executive officers through long-term awards. Long-term equity
incentives historically have been made available to executive officers in the
form of stock appreciation rights payable in cash only.&#160;&#160;The goal of
the Compensation Committee in granting equity incentives is to directly link an
executive&#8217;s compensation opportunities with shareholder value
creation.&#160;&#160;Stock appreciation rights require stock price appreciation
in order for executive officers to realize any benefit, thus directly aligning
executive and shareholder interests. In 2008, the Committee made long-term
equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock grants. The Committee
believes restricted stock grants will further align the executive officers&#8217;
interests with those of the shareholders, while providing an incentive to
executive officers to remain with the Company for a period of
years.</font></div>

incentive awards are made pursuant to our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Recent

at the time of grant of approximately $67,250. The Committee did not award stock
appreciation rights in 2008. Instead the Committee awarded Mr. Benedetti 10,000
shares of restricted stock in February 2008. Of this amount, 3,500 shares of
restricted stock were in lieu of a raise for 2008 (and vest 25% each quarter in

our quarterly financial results may have an impact on the market price of our
common stock, and therefore the value of the stock appreciation rights awarded
to our executive officers and stock option grants awarded to non-employee
directors, depending on whether the information is favorable or unfavorable. Our
general practice with respect to the timing of long-term incentive awards to our
executive officers and senior management is to approve grants of stock
appreciation rights and grants of restricted stock to executive officers once
each year in December.&#160;&#160;The grants are effective as of the close of
business on the first official business day in January of the following
year.&#160;&#160;&#160;The approval date and grant date are slightly different
as it has generally been our policy to price the grant on the first business day
of the new calendar year to avoid possible pricing issues with respect to our
common stock that may occur in December (for example, a lower price on the
common stock as a result of tax loss selling) and to avoid any potential issues
with respect to the announcement of our quarterly and annual results. For 2007,
the Committee did not meet until January 2008 and the grants of restricted stock
were not approved by the Board until February 2008.</font></div>

case of grants to our non-employee directors, we believe that the annual meeting
of shareholders is an appropriate time during the year to make option grants and
that a consistent application of our option granting practices from year to year
regardless of the content of the first quarter earnings release is also
appropriate. The stock options granted by the Compensation Committee are
designed to create incentives for the creation of long-term shareholder value

February 4, 2008, Thomas B. Akin was appointed to Chief Executive Officer of the

consisting&#160;of a base salary, annual cash incentive payments in the form of
discretionary annual bonuses and long-term equity incentives in the form of
restricted stock.&#160; Mr. Akin&#8217;s annual base salary for 2008 is $300,000. Mr.
Akin is eligible for a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary based 50% on our
earnings performance as measured by return on adjusted common equity and 50% on
to-be determined qualitative objectives set by the Committee. Mr. Akin will also
participate in a bonus pool equal to 1% of the total common equity capital
raised during 2008 if at least $100 million of equity capital is raised in 2008.
The Compensation Committee felt these amounts were appropriate based on the
responsibilities assumed by Mr. Akin and to compensate Mr. Akin for his
continued service as Chairman of the Board.</font></div>
