Troubled Debt Restructurings—During the six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company did not modify any loans that would be troubled debt restructurings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company modified loans that were determined to be troubled debt restructurings. The recorded investment in these loans was impacted by the modifications as follows, presented by class ($ in thousands):



	For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013					For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
	Number of Loans	Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Number of Loans	Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment
Senior mortgages	2	$	71,758	$	71,758	3	$	144,432	$	136,758

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company restructured one performing loan with a recorded investment of $3.2 million to grant a maturity extension of one year. The Company also extended a payoff option on a loan with a recorded investment of $68.6 million that was classified as non-performing.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company restructured three loans that were considered troubled debt restructurings. In addition to the loans modified during the three months ended June 30, 2013 that are described above, the Company also restructured one non-performing loan with a recorded investment of $72.7 million in which the Company received a $13.3 million paydown and accepted a discounted payoff option on this loan. At the time of the restructuring, the Company reclassified the loan from non-performing to performing status as the Company believed the borrower would perform under the modified terms of the agreement. The loan was repaid in January 2014 at the discounted payoff amount.

Generally when granting concessions, the Company will seek to protect its position by requiring incremental pay downs, additional collateral or guarantees and in some cases lookback features or equity kickers to offset concessions granted should conditions impacting the loan improve. The Company's determination of credit losses is impacted by troubled debt restructurings whereby loans that have gone through troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired, assessed for specific reserves, and are not included in the Company's assessment of general loan loss reserves. Loans previously restructured under troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default are reassessed to incorporate the Company's current assumptions on expected cash flows and additional provision expense is recorded to the extent necessary. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $3.5 million of unfunded commitments associated with modified loans considered troubled debt restructurings.
