approve the Company's issuance of shares (the "Stock Consideration") of its common stock (the "Share Issuance Proposal") in connection with its proposed acquisition of CWCapital LLC ("CWCapital") by the Company's indirect wholly owned operating subsidiary, Walker & Dunlop, LLC (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of June 7, 2012, among the Company, the Purchaser, CWCapital and CW Financial Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Seller"), which issuance is expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 34 percent of the Company on a fully diluted basis, subject to adjustment as described below under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43;



2.

(i) approve amendments to the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") that would increase the number of shares reserved and individual limits of categories of awards under, add additional performance measures applicable to, extend the termination date of, and make certain other related technical amendments to, the Equity Incentive Plan, and (ii) re-approve material terms and conditions relating to performance-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan Amendment Proposal");

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE SPECIAL MEETING

        The information in this section does not provide all of the information that may be important to you with respect to the matters being considered at the Special Meeting. Therefore, you should read this proxy statement carefully, as well as the full contents of the other documents to which this proxy statement refers or incorporates by reference. These documents contain information that may be important to you in determining how you will vote on the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

        You are receiving this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card because you own shares of Walker & Dunlop, Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). This proxy statement contains information related to the solicitation of proxies for use at our Special Meeting of stockholders to be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on [    •    ], 2012, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Special Meeting"), for the purposes stated in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Special Meeting will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, 7301 Waverly Street, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. This solicitation is made by Walker & Dunlop, Inc. on behalf of our Board of Directors (the "Board"). Unless otherwise stated, as used in this proxy statement, the terms "we," "our," "us", "Walker & Dunlop" and the "Company" refer to Walker & Dunlop, Inc. This proxy statement is dated [    •    ], 2012. This proxy statement, the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders beginning on or about [    •    ], 2012.

What information is presented in this proxy statement?

        The information contained in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting, the voting process and other required information.

What is the purpose of the Special Meeting?

        The purpose of the Special Meeting is to vote upon the following three proposals:

          (i)  A proposal to approve the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all of the limited liability company membership interests in CWCapital LLC ("CWCapital"), a Massachusetts limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC ("CW Financial" or the "Seller"), pursuant to a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of June 7, 2012, by and among Walker & Dunlop, as parent, Walker & Dunlop, LLC (the "Purchaser"), CW Financial and CWCapital (the "Share Issuance Proposal"). The number of shares to be issued in connection with the Acquisition (the "Stock Consideration") is expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock (which represents approximately 34 percent of the Company on a fully diluted basis), subject to adjustment as described below under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein.

         (ii)  A proposal to (a) approve amendments to the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") that would increase the number of shares reserved and individual limits of categories of awards under, add additional performance measures applicable to, extend the termination date of, and make certain other related technical amendments to, the Equity Incentive Plan, and (b) re-approve material terms and conditions relating to performance-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan Amendment Proposal"). A copy of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Annex H and incorporated by reference herein.

        (iii)  A proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, for up to 20 additional days, solely to the extent necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Share Issuance Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting (the "Adjournment Proposal").

        This document contains important information about the Acquisition, the Purchase Agreement, the other agreements entered into in connection with the Acquisition, the Equity Incentive Plan, and the Special Meeting, and you should read it, and the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, carefully and in their entirety.

Why is the Company seeking stockholder approval for the Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal?

        Because our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), Walker & Dunlop is subject to the NYSE's rules and regulations. These rules require stockholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions where, in general, the issuance involves more than 20 percent of the outstanding common stock or voting rights of a listed company (the "NYSE 20% Cap"). In connection with the purchase of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of CWCapital, we will issue, in a private placement to the Seller, a number of shares expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock (which represents approximately 34 percent of the Company on a fully diluted basis), subject to adjustment as described below under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43.

        As with the Share Issuance Proposal, the Plan Amendment Proposal requires stockholder approval pursuant to NYSE rules. Those rules provide that stockholder approval is required for any "material revision" to an equity compensation plan (which, under the Rule, includes material increase in the number of shares available under the plan (other than an increase solely to reflect a reorganization, stock split, merger, spin-off or similar transaction)).

Who is CWCapital?

        CWCapital is one of the leading commercial real estate finance companies in the United States, with a primary focus on multifamily lending. CWCapital's clients are owners and developers of commercial real estate across the country. CWCapital has approximately 180 employees located in 14 offices across the United States. CWCapital originates and sells multifamily mortgage loans pursuant to the programs of Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac," and together with Fannie Mae, the government-sponsored enterprises, or the "GSEs"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (together with Ginnie Mae, "HUD"), with which CWCapital has long-established relationships. CWCapital is approved as a Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS"^TM) lender nationally, a Freddie Mac Program Plus lender in Massachusetts, Georgia, Alaska, California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey, the New York City metro area, Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut, and Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania and an approved Freddie Mac Targeted

Affordable Housing lender. CWCapital is also a HUD Multifamily Accelerated Processing ("MAP") lender nationally, and a Ginnie Mae issuer. CWCapital is also a rated servicer and master servicer and services commercial loans for a number of commercial mortgage backed securities ("CMBS") trusts. CWCapital retains servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans that it sells to investors.

What happens if the Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal are approved?

        If the Share Issuance Proposal is approved, the Company will issue the Stock Consideration (subject to adjustment as described under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43) to the Seller pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. If the Plan Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company will amend the Equity Incentive Plan to (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 3,370,000 shares; (ii) change the individual limits to (A) 600,000 shares for grants of stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") in any single calendar year, (B) 600,000 shares for awards other than stock options and SARs in any single calendar year, (C) three million dollars ($3,000,000) for the maximum amount that may be earned as an annual incentive award or other cash award in any calendar year in respect of performance, and (D) seven million dollars ($7,000,000) for the maximum amount that may be earned as a performance award or other cash award in any calendar year in respect of performance; (iii) add additional performance measures that may be used as performance goals; and (iv) extend the termination date of the Equity Incentive Plan until the tenth anniversary of the Special Meeting.

What happens if the Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal are not approved?

        If stockholders do not approve the Share Issuance Proposal, the Company will not complete the Acquisition by issuing shares in excess of the NYSE 20% Cap. If stockholders do not approve the Plan Amendment Proposal, we will not amend the Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable in connection with awards under the plan.

Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?

        Only holders of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on [    •    ], 2012, the record date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting. Our Common Stock constitutes the only class of securities entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

        When you vote by signing and returning the proxy card, you appoint William M. Walker and Deborah A. Wilson as your representatives to vote your Common Stock at the Special Meeting. Mr. Walker and Ms. Wilson, or either of them, will vote your Common Stock as you instruct on your proxy card. Accordingly, your Common Stock will be voted whether or not you attend the Special Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we encourage you to vote by signing and returning your proxy card in advance.

Who can attend the Special Meeting?

        If you are a holder of our Common Stock at the close of business on [    •    ], 2012, the record date for the Special Meeting, or a duly appointed proxy, you are authorized to attend the Special Meeting. You will need to present proof of share ownership and valid picture identification, such as a driver's license or passport, before being admitted. If your Common Stock is held beneficially in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record (i.e., street name), you must present proof of your ownership by presenting a bank or brokerage account statement reflecting your ownership as of the record date.

        Cameras, recording equipment and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the Special Meeting. For directions to the Special Meeting, contact Investor Relations at (301) 634-2143.

What are the voting rights of stockholders?

        Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the record date entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted on.

How do I vote?

        If you hold your shares of Common Stock directly (i.e., not in a bank or brokerage account), you may vote by completing and returning the accompanying proxy card or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

        If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, you should follow the voting instructions provided to you by your broker or nominee. You may complete and mail a voting instruction card to your broker or nominee or, in most cases, submit voting instructions by the internet or by telephone to your broker or nominee. If you provide specific instructions, your broker or nominee should vote your shares of Common Stock as directed. Additionally, if you want to vote in person and hold your shares in street name, you will need a legal proxy from your broker to vote at the Special Meeting.

What will constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting?

        The presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will constitute a quorum, permitting the stockholders to conduct business at the Special Meeting. We will include abstentions in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the Special Meeting, including for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting. Because no "routine" matters will be considered at the Special Meeting, absent instructions from the beneficial owner, brokers are not permitted to vote on any proposal (resulting in a "broker non-vote") and unvoted shares held in street name will not be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum at the Special Meeting.

        As of [    •    ], 2012, there were [                ] shares of Common Stock outstanding.

How many votes are needed to approve each of the proposals?

        Under Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, approval of either the Share Issuance Proposal or the Plan Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting, provided that the total votes cast (either for, against or abstaining) on the proposal represent over 50 percent of all outstanding securities entitled to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, either a failure to cast a vote for a proposal or a broker non-vote on a proposal could have the effect of a vote against the proposal if such failure to cast a vote or broker non-vote results in the total number of votes cast on the proposal not representing over 50 percent of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the proposal. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting.

        Because approval of each of the Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal is based on the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast, a stockholder's failure to vote its shares of Common Stock will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal, assuming 50 percent in interest of all securities entitled to vote on the proposal are voted on the proposal. Broker non-votes are not treated as votes cast with respect to the proposals. Accordingly, for each such proposal, a broker non-vote will not count as a "vote cast" for purposes of determining whether the proposal has been approved by a majority of votes cast on such proposal and, assuming that the total vote cast on such

4

---

Table of Contents

proposal represents over 50 percent in interest of all securities entitled to vote, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on such proposal. Abstentions will be treated as "votes cast" for purposes of determining whether the total vote cast on each such proposal represents over 50 percent in interest of all securities entitled to vote on the proposal as required by the NYSE. Accordingly, an abstention will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" each such proposal for purposes of determining whether the proposal has been approved by a majority of votes cast on such proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

How are proxy card votes counted?

        If the accompanying proxy card is properly signed and returned to us, and not revoked, the persons designated as proxy holders will vote the shares of Common Stock represented by that proxy as directed by you. If you return your signed proxy card but fail to indicate your voting preferences, the persons designated as proxy holders will vote the shares of Common Stock represented by that proxy as recommended by the Board.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

        The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval of the Share Issuance Proposal, "FOR" the approval of the Plan Amendment Proposal and "FOR" the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Will my shares of Common Stock be voted if I do not provide my proxy and I do not attend the Special Meeting?

        If you do not provide a proxy, vote your shares of Common Stock or instruct your broker how to vote, your shares will not be voted. Your broker may not vote your shares for non-routine matters if you do not provide the broker with voting instructions. The Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal are considered non-routine matters. As a result, if you hold shares of our Common Stock in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on these proposals, so please vote your shares.

May I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

        Yes. You may change or revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is exercised by either (i) submitting a later-dated proxy, in person at the Special Meeting or by mail, or (ii) delivering instructions to our Secretary at our principal executive offices located at 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1200E, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Please note that attendance at the Special Meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of a previously granted proxy.

        If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, then you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker or nominee. You may also vote in person at the Special Meeting if you obtain a legal proxy from your broker as described above.

Will any other matters be voted on at the Special Meeting?

        As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not know of any other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting other than those matters discussed in this proxy statement. If any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting and call for a stockholder vote, valid proxies will be voted by the holders of the proxies in accordance with the recommendation of the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

Table of Contents

Who is soliciting my proxy?

        This solicitation of proxies is made by and on behalf of our Board. We will pay the costs of soliciting proxies, which will consist primarily of the cost of printing, postage and handling. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our officers, directors and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by other appropriate means. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What rights do I have if I vote against the proposals?

        There are no appraisal or dissenter's rights with respect to any matter to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

What happens if the Special Meeting is postponed or adjourned?

        Your proxy will still be valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.

Is there a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?

        The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available at the Special Meeting and for ten days prior to the Special Meeting, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., at our principal executive offices at 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1200E, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, by contacting the Secretary.

Who can help answer my questions?

        If you have questions about any of the proposals, need additional copies of this proxy statement, or require assistance in voting your shares, you should contact Investor Relations, by phone at (301) 634-2143 to Walker & Dunlop, Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1200E, Bethesda, MD 20814, or by e-mail to charvey@walkerdunlop.com.

        You should rely only on the information provided in this proxy statement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should assume that the information in this proxy statement is accurate only as of the date of this proxy statement or, where information relates to another date set forth in this proxy statement, then as of that date.

Actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the following:

•

the risk that any necessary quasi-governmental approvals or other third party consents may not be obtained, that the Financing may not be consummated or that other conditions of the Acquisition are not satisfied;



•

limitations imposed by our credit facilities;



•

Any forward-looking statements in this proxy statement are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those contemplated by those forward-looking statements, possibly materially. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

WALKER & DUNLOP SPECIAL MEETING

        We are furnishing this proxy statement to our stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our Board for use at the Special Meeting of stockholders to be held on [    •    ], 2012, and at any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof. This document is first being mailed to our stockholders on or about [    •    ], 2012.

Date, Time and Place

        The Special Meeting of our stockholders will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, 7301 Waverly Street, Bethesda, Maryland 20814 on [    •    ], 2012 at 9:00 a.m. local time.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

        At the Special Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to approve the issuance of a number of shares expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described below under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43, as partial consideration in connection with the acquisition by our wholly owned operating subsidiary, the Purchaser, of all of the limited liability company membership interests in CWCapital from the Seller, which is referred to in this proxy statement as the Share Issuance Proposal.

        You are also being asked to (1) approve an amendment to our Equity Incentive Plan to (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 3,370,000 shares; (ii) change the individual limits to (A) 600,000 shares for grants of stock options and SARs in any single calendar year, (B) 600,000 shares for awards other than stock options and SARs in any single calendar year, (C) three million dollars ($3,000,000) for the maximum amount that may be earned as an annual incentive award or other cash award in any calendar year in respect of performance, and (D) seven million dollars ($7,000,000) for the maximum amount that may be earned as a performance award or other cash award by any one person in any calendar year in respect of performance; (iii) add additional performance measures that may be used as performance goals; and (iv) extend the termination date of the Equity Incentive Plan until the tenth anniversary of the Special Meeting; and (2) re-approve material terms and conditions relating to performance-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan. This proposal is referred to in this proxy statement as the Plan Amendment Proposal.

        You also are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn the special meeting, for up to 20 additional days, solely to the extent necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Share Issuance Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting, which is referred to in this proxy statement as the Adjournment Proposal.

        We are seeking stockholder approval of the Share Issuance Proposal to satisfy our obligations under Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock, if the issuance would constitute more than 20 percent of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the issuance. If the Acquisition is completed, we will issue the Stock Consideration to CW Financial, which we anticipate will represent approximately 34 percent, on a fully-diluted basis, of the total number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition. In addition, the Acquisition may be classified as a change of control under applicable NYSE rules because of, among other things, the addition of two new directors to our Board who are designated for appointment by CW Financial and the issuance of over 20 percent of our Common Stock as the Stock Consideration. To the extent of such classification, if any, we are also seeking stockholder approval to satisfy our obligations under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a change of control.

        In addition, we are seeking stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment Proposal, as required by Section 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, because it is a "material revision" to an "equity compensation plan" (which includes a material increase in the number of shares available under the plan if the increase is not solely to reflect a reorganization, stock split, merger, spin-off or similar transaction).

        As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not know of any other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting other than those matters discussed in this proxy statement. If any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting and call for a stockholder vote, valid proxies will be voted by the holders of the proxies in accordance with the recommendation of the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

Record Date; Shares of Common Stock Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

        The record date for the Special Meeting is [    •    ], 2012. If you were a stockholder of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Our Common Stock is the only class of securities we have issued and outstanding. At the close of business on the record date, [    •    ] shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholders are entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to stockholders at the Special Meeting for each share of our Common Stock held as of the record date.

Vote Required

        Each of the Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting, provided that total votes cast (either for, against or abstaining) on the proposal represent over 50 percent of all outstanding securities entitled to vote on the proposal. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting. A properly executed proxy marked "Abstain" with respect to the Share Issuance Proposal or the Plan Amendment Proposal will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum and will have the effect of a vote AGAINST such proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

Quorum

        A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. We will include abstentions in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the Special Meeting, including for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum at the Special Meeting.

        Neither the Share Issuance Proposal nor the Plan Amendment Proposal can be approved unless the total votes cast (either for, against or abstaining) on the proposal represent over 50 percent of all outstanding securities entitled to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, a failure to cast a vote for either proposal or a broker non-vote on either proposal could have the effect of a vote against the proposal if such failure to cast a vote or broker non-vote results in the total number of votes cast on the proposal not representing over 50 percent of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the proposal.

Voting Your Shares

        If you hold your shares of Common Stock directly (i.e., not in a bank or brokerage account), you may vote by completing and returning the accompanying proxy card or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Table of Contents

        If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, you should follow the voting instructions provided to you by your broker or nominee. You may complete and mail a voting instruction card to your broker or nominee or, in most cases, submit voting instructions by the internet or by telephone to your broker or nominee. If you provide specific instructions, your broker or nominee should vote your shares of Common Stock as directed. Additionally, if you want to vote in person and hold your shares in street name, you will need a legal proxy from your broker to vote at the Special Meeting.

        When you vote by signing and returning the proxy card, you appoint William M. Walker and Deborah A. Wilson as your representatives to vote your Common Stock at the Special Meeting. Mr. Walker and Ms. Wilson, or either of them, will vote your Common Stock as you instruct on your proxy card. Accordingly, your Common Stock will be voted whether or not you attend the Special Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we encourage you to vote by signing and returning your proxy card in advance.

        In order for your proxy to be validly submitted and for your shares to be voted in accordance with your proxy, we must receive your mailed proxy by [    •    ], on [    •    ], 2012. Additionally, telephone and Internet voting for stockholders will close at 11:59 p.m. (EDT), on [    •    ], 2012.

        You may change or revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is exercised by either (i) submitting a later-dated proxy, in person at the Special Meeting or by mail, or (ii) delivering instructions to our Secretary at our principal executive offices located at 7501 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 1200E, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. Please note that attendance at the meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of a previously granted proxy.

        If your shares of Common Stock are held in street name, then you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker or nominee. You may also vote in person at the Special Meeting if you obtain a legal proxy from your broker as described above.

        Your vote is very important to us. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we encourage you to read this proxy statement and the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement and submit your vote promptly so that your shares will be represented and voted in accordance with your instructions.

Broker Non-Votes

        Brokers holding shares of stock for beneficial owners have the authority to vote on certain "routine" matters, in their discretion, in the event they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners. However, when a proposal is not a "routine" matter and a broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the broker may not vote the shares for that proposal. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker holds shares for a beneficial owner, in a fiduciary capacity, but does not vote on a particular matter because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received instructions from such beneficial owner.

        The Share Issuance Proposal and the Plan Amendment Proposal are not considered "routine" matters. Accordingly, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker with respect to each proposal, the broker is prohibited from voting your shares with respect to these proposals. A failure to cast a vote for either proposal or a broker non-vote on either proposal will have the effect of a vote against the proposal if such failure to cast a vote or broker non-vote results in the total number of votes cast on the proposal not representing over 50 percent of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the proposal.

Adjournments and Postponements

        Although it is not currently expected, the Special Meeting may be adjourned or postponed for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. Any signed proxies received by Walker & Dunlop in which no voting instructions are provided on such matter will be voted "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal. Any adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting as adjourned or postponed.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

        We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies from the holders of our Common Stock. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain of our directors, officers and selected other employees telephonically, electronically or by other means of communication. Directors, officers and employees who help us in the solicitation will not be specially compensated for those services, but they may be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Recommendation of our Board

        AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE:

PROPOSAL 1:
SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL: ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN
CONNECTION WITH OUR PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF CWCAPITAL

THE ACQUISITION

        At the Special Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the issuance of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition. Set forth below in this section, and in the section entitled "The Purchase Agreement" beginning on page 43, is a discussion of the Acquisition, including a description of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. You should review these sections carefully in connection with your consideration of the proposal.

General Description of the Acquisition

        On June 7, 2012, Walker & Dunlop, the Purchaser, CW Financial and CWCapital, entered into the Purchase Agreement, providing for the acquisition of CWCapital by the Purchaser. See "The Purchase Agreement" beginning on page 43.

        Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, CW Financial, as the sole owner of the limited liability company interest of CWCapital, will be entitled to receive aggregate consideration of $220 million, subject to certain adjustments, consisting of (i) a cash payment of $80 million, to be made through a combination of existing capital and debt financing anticipated to be obtained, and (ii) a non-cash payment equal to the Stock Consideration (as defined below). The "Stock Consideration" is expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of the Common Stock. To mitigate the risk to the Company and CW Financial associated with any potentially significant increase or decrease, respectively, in the price of the Common Stock between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing Date, the parties have agreed that the number of shares constituting the Stock Consideration will be fixed at 11,647,255 shares (and the Common Stock price at $12.02) within a "collar" of a 30 percent upward or downward fluctuation in the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock. However, if (a) the volume weighted average NYSE trading price of the Common Stock during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third trading day prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Share Value") is greater than $15.62 (i.e., more than 30 percent greater than $12.02), then the Stock Consideration will equal the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $182 million divided by the Closing Share Value, or (b) the Closing Share Value is less than $8.41 (i.e., more than 30 percent less than $12.02), then the Stock Consideration will equal the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $98 million divided by the Closing Share Value. The Stock Consideration's 30 percent-two-way collar may be illustrated as follows:

Table of Contents

meeting was to discuss CWCapital, a subsidiary of CW Financial, which is a portfolio company of funds managed by affiliates of Fortress, and the Company's potential interest in acquiring CWCapital.

        On May 7, 2012, Messrs. Walker, Edens and Narasimhan met at Fortress's offices in New York. During the course of the discussion, Messrs. Edens and Walker discussed their similar vision of the future of the real estate finance industry and multifamily finance in particular. They also discussed, in general terms, the potential structure for a proposed acquisition of CWCapital by the Company, including the purchase price consisting of both cash and stock. They agreed to enter into an initial confidentiality agreement to allow them to continue discussions regarding a possible business transaction that would involve the Company acquiring CWCapital.

        On May 8, 2012, at a previously scheduled meeting of our Board, Mr. Walker informed the Board of the potential transaction and provided background on CWCapital.

        On May 10, 2012, we entered into a confidentiality agreement with Galaxy, the indirect parent company of CW Financial, and discussed a tentative timeline for the transaction. Also on May 10, 2012, representatives and advisors of the Company requested preliminary information regarding CWCapital and had conversations with CW Financial's representatives and advisors. Employees of the Company, along with its financial advisor, KBW, began to review the information provided by CW Financial. Mr. Spetka assembled a team, including Carla Stoner, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Scott Spelfogel, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of CW Financial to assist in providing financial and diligence materials to the Company in its evaluation of a potential transaction.

        Between May 10, 2012 and May 16, 2012 representatives and advisors of the Company continued to have conversations with CW Financial's representatives about diligence materials and to review CWCapital documents. On May 11, 2012, Mr. Walker and Aaron Perlis, Senior Vice President of Business Development for the Company, spoke with KBW representatives to discuss initial due diligence findings. The KBW representatives and Mr. Perlis also held a teleconference with John Cibinic, Partner, of Beekman Advisors, on May 11, 2012 to request additional diligence materials.

        On May 14, 2012, Ms. Deborah Wilson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Mr. Perlis, and KBW representatives, held a teleconference with Ms. Stoner and other representatives of CW Financial to discuss the potential transaction and related accounting policies.

        On May 16, 2012, Messrs. Walker and Perlis, KBW representatives and Ms. Wilson held a teleconference on CWCapital's valuation and proposed transaction terms. Later that day, KBW representatives and Mr. Narasimhan spoke via telephone to discuss a preliminary acquisition proposal from the Company.

        On May 17, 2012, Messrs. Walker and Edens spoke via telephone. During the call, Mr. Walker outlined the general terms for the Company to acquire CWCapital. Messrs. Walker and Edens agreed to execute a more comprehensive confidentiality agreement and to proceed with discussions. Mr. Walker updated our Board on the general terms of the potential acquisition, negotiations, due diligence and proposed timeline. Later that day, the Company executed another confidentiality agreement with Galaxy to further discussions.

access to an electronic data room to CW Financial and its representatives. From May 18, 2012 to June 1, 2012, representatives and advisors of the Company and CW Financial exchanged information, had phone calls and in person meetings with follow up requests for information, conducted due diligence and continued to evaluate and discuss the terms of a potential transaction.

        On May 24, 2012, Messrs. Walker, Narasimhan and Michael Berman, Chief Executive Officer of CWCapital, met at Arnold & Porter LLP's offices in Washington, DC to discuss matters relating to the potential transaction.

        On May 26, 2012, Mr. Walker sent correspondence to our Board providing them with an update on due diligence and negotiations.

        On May 28, 2012 and May 29, 2012, representatives of Sidley Austin LLP and Arnold & Porter LLP had telephonic conferences to discuss the preliminary non-binding term sheet. Messrs. Walker, Perlis, Spetka, Narasimhan and Cibinic also met on May 29, 2012 to further negotiate the terms of the proposed transaction. Following such conversations, Arnold & Porter LLP commenced preparing initial drafts of the Purchase Agreement and related documents.

        On May 31, 2012, Ms. Wilson and Messrs. Walker and Perlis, along with KBW representatives, had several teleconferences during which valuation and potential synergies were discussed.

        Based on the Company's valuation of CWCapital in light of its diligence, on June 1, 2012, Messrs. Edens and Walker met to adjust the transaction terms. At that time, Messrs. Edens and Walker agreed to a lower purchase price than had been proposed in the prior discussions and negotiations. Company representatives then met with Mr. Spetka and other representatives and advisors of CW Financial. The discussion focused on the business and culture of CWCapital and the Company.

        On June 1, 2012, our Board held a special meeting to discuss the status of the potential acquisition. Mr. Walker provided the Board with an overview of the previously described discussions with Messrs. Edens and Spetka. Mr. Walker also provided an overview of the meeting that had occurred earlier in the day with representatives from CW Financial and Beekman Advisors. Our Board discussed with our management and financial advisor diligence findings, the strategic rationale for the acquisition, potential acquisition synergies, risk factors associated with the acquisition and a timeline for executing acquisition documents and closing. Our Board also discussed how the acquisition would create shareholder value and endorsed the strategy of acquiring CWCapital on the terms discussed at the meeting.

        On June 2, 2012, Arnold & Porter LLP distributed proposed drafts of the Purchase Agreement, Voting Agreement, Closing Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement to Sidley Austin LLP.

        Commencing on June 4, 2012 through June 7, 2012, the Company and CW Financial, along with their legal counsel and financial advisors, met to negotiate the terms of the Purchase Agreement and related documentation, during which revised drafts of the transaction documents were circulated and discussed, and disclosure schedules to the Purchase Agreement were prepared and circulated.

        On June 4, 2012 and June 5, 2012, Mr. Walker provided the Board with updates regarding the transaction terms, the status of the transaction documents and the timeline for the proposed acquisition. During this time, Mr. Walker also informed Mallory Walker, the Company's second largest shareholder, of the terms of the transaction and had conversations with him about the terms of the Voting Agreement, and Mallory Walker agreed to keep confidential the information shared with him.

        Between June 5, 2012 and June 7, 2012, representatives and advisors of the Company and CW Financial also had discussions with representatives and advisors of Credit Suisse AG, parent of Column, the Company's largest shareholder, concerning Column's agreement to enter into a Voting Agreement in support of the Share Issuance Proposal and its agreement to modify certain provisions in its existing registration rights agreement with the Company to effectuate the proposed Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and CW Financial.

        On June 7, 2012, our Board held a meeting at which it reviewed the proposed final terms and financial aspects of the Acquisition. Prior to the meeting, our Board consulted with management, was furnished with written summaries of the principal terms of the primary acquisition documents, and reviewed the proposed final drafts of such documents. At this meeting, KBW reviewed with our Board its financial analyses of the consideration payable by Walker & Dunlop in connection with the Acquisition. Also at this meeting, KBW delivered to our Board an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated June 7, 2012, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to various assumptions and limitations described in the opinion, the consideration to be paid by the Company in connection with the Acquisition was fair, from a financial point of view, to us. After discussion and deliberation based upon the information considered during its evaluation of the Acquisition, our Board, by unanimous vote, determined that the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documents and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable and in the best interests of the Company and determined to recommend that the Company's stockholders approve the Share Issuance Proposal.

        On June 7, 2012, the board of managers of each of CWCapital and CW Financial executed written consents authorizing CWCapital and CW Financial, respectively, to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and Mr. Spetka executed the Purchase Agreement on behalf of CW Financial.

        On June 7, 2012, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, CWCapital and CW Financial. On the morning of June 8, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the Acquisition.

Board Recommendation

        At the June 7, 2012 meeting, our Board unanimously adopted and approved the Purchase Agreement and believes that the Purchaser's acquisition of CWCapital pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including the proposed issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition, is in our best interest and in our stockholders' best interests. Accordingly, our Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the proposal to authorize the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition.

Reasons for the Acquisition

        As described above in the section entitled "The Acquisition—Background of the Acquisition," our Board, in evaluating the Acquisition, the Purchase Agreement and the related stock issuance, consulted with our management and legal and financial advisors, and, in reaching its decision to approve the Acquisition and the Purchase Agreement, our Board discussed and considered a variety of factors weighing positively in favor of the Acquisition, including but not limited to, the following:

        Strategic Benefits.    Our Board considered management's view that our purchase of CWCapital would result in a combined company with an enhanced national origination platform, significantly larger servicing portfolio and broader scale of operations than we have on a standalone basis.

        CWCapital's Businesses, Operating Results, Financial Condition and Management.    Our Board considered information with respect to the businesses, operating results and financial condition of

30

---

Table of Contents

CWCapital, on both a historical and prospective basis, and the quality, breadth and experience of CWCapital's senior management. Our Board considered the following factors, among others:

•

CWCapital's loan origination and underwriting capabilities, including its origination growth by loan product type since 2009 and the strong historic performance of its at-risk originated servicing portfolio;



•

the size and volume by product type of CWCapital's servicing portfolio; and



•

CWCapital's quality employees.

        Consideration.    Our Board evaluated the consideration, taking into account its total value and composition and accretion to earnings per share without synergies. The type and amount of consideration payable in the Acquisition, as approved by our Board, were determined through negotiations between us and CW Financial, and were not the result of recommendations made by any financial advisor.

        Financing of the Acquisition.    Our Board considered our expectation that we can finance the Cash Consideration portion of the transaction on favorable terms and maintain a conservative financial position and sound capital structure following the completion of the Acquisition. The Company, the Purchaser, and Walker & Dunlop Multifamily, Inc. (which is the direct parent of the Purchaser) are parties, as borrowers, to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated as of January 30, 2009 (as amended and in effect, the "Term Loan Agreement"), with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and Bank of America and PNC Bank, National Association, successor to National City Bank, as the lenders thereunder. In order to finance the Cash Consideration payable at the Closing, the Company requested Bank of America (as Administrative Agent and as a lender) and, pursuant to a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter"), Bank of America has agreed, to commit to amend or replace the Term Loan Agreement in order to provide for an increase in the amount of the borrowings thereunder to the aggregate sum of $83 million, subject to the terms and conditions therein. Substantially all of the proceeds of such term loan will be used solely for the purposes of the Acquisition. See "The Financing" beginning on page 66.

        Terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing Agreements.    In addition to evaluating the reasonableness of the consideration, our Board considered the overall terms of the Purchase Agreement, including the parties' respective representations, warranties, covenants and conditions to their respective obligations in such agreement. In particular, our Board noted the fact that CW Financial is obligated to indemnify us for a number of items, including, among others, adverse consequences resulting from breaches of representations, warranties and covenants, pre-closing and straddle period tax liabilities and certain indebtedness-related expenses. Our Board also noted that the Purchase Agreement provides that, following the Closing, CW Financial will have the ability to designate two individuals for nomination and appointment to our Board. Our Board considered that each such designee (1) will be required to furnish a completed director and officer questionnaire with respect to the background and qualifications of such designee, (2) will be subject to a background check in a manner consistent with background checks customarily engaged in by us for prospective new members of our Board, (3) will make himself or herself available for interviews by our Board and (4) may be denied appointment if our Board determines in good faith, after consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board and consultation with outside legal counsel, that such individuals' appointment would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties. Our Board also considered its ability under the Purchase Agreement to withdraw its recommendation that our stockholders vote in favor of the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition if it determines in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant and based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to change its recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties. See "The Purchase Agreement" beginning on page 43.

Table of Contents

        Our Board also considered the overall terms of the Closing Agreement between the Company, CWCapital and CW Financial, including the provisions in that agreement designed to provide protection to our Board and the holders of our outstanding Common Stock against potential actions by CW Financial and its subsidiaries. In particular, our Board noted that CW Financial and its subsidiaries will generally be subject to "standstill" provisions for the period during which CW Financial has a right to appoint Board designees. Additionally, our Board noted that CW Financial and its subsidiaries will be subject to restrictive covenants, including non-compete, non-solicitation, confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants, for a period of two years after the Acquisition. See "Closing Agreement" beginning on page 62.

        Restrictions on Resales of Stock Issued in the Acquisition; Terms of the Closing Agreement.    Another important consideration for our Board was the fact that the shares issued in connection with the Acquisition will be "restricted securities" under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Closing Agreement also provides that CW Financial will not transfer any of the shares of Common Stock issued to it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, except for transfers to one or more of CW Financial's affiliates. See "Closing Agreement" beginning on page 62.

        Likelihood of Completion of Acquisition.    Our Board considered the likelihood of the Acquisition being completed, including the terms of the Purchase Agreement and other factors that, taken as a whole, provide a significant degree of assurance that the Acquisition will be completed. In particular, our Board noted that (1) the conditions required to be satisfied prior to completion of the Acquisition are expected to be fulfilled, (2) we have obtained a commitment for debt financing for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement with customary conditions to financing from reputable financing sources and (3) both parties have made commitments in the Purchase Agreement with respect to obtaining third party consents and regulatory clearances, including clearances under the HSR Act.

        Opinion of Financial Advisor.    Our Board considered the opinion and financial presentation of KBW, dated June 7, 2012, to our Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of that date, to Walker & Dunlop of the consideration to be paid by Walker & Dunlop in connection with the Acquisition. KBW's opinion was based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations on the review undertaken as more fully described in the section entitled "The Acquisition—Opinion of Walker & Dunlop's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 33. KBW's opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, monetary, market and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, and the information made available to KBW as of the date of its opinion. Subsequent developments may affect KBW's opinion, and KBW does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion.

        Other Reasons in Favor of the Acquisition.    The reasons in favor of the Acquisition considered by our Board also include, among others, that the Acquisition would:

•

enhance our market leadership position to gain economies of scale;



•

significantly increase our loan originations consistent with the Company's strategic plan;



•

significantly increase the size of our loan servicing portfolio;



•

enhance our brand, which would enable us to more effectively retain and recruit loan originators; and



•

increase our market capitalization, which could potentially attract new investors and provide additional trading volume in the Common Stock over time.

        After consideration of these and other factors, our Board determined that any potential negative factors were significantly outweighed by the potential benefits of the Acquisition to our stockholders.

        The foregoing discussion of information and factors considered by our Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In light of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition, our Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determinations and recommendations. Rather, our Board viewed its determinations and recommendations as being based on the totality of information and factors presented to and considered by our Board. Moreover, each member of our Board applied his or her own personal business judgment to the process and may have given different weight to different factors.

        For the reasons set forth above, our Board approved the Purchase Agreement, determined that the Acquisition was advisable and in the best interest of our stockholders and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the proposal to authorize the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition.

        This explanation of our Board's reasons for the Acquisition and other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors described in the section entitled "Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page 20.

Opinion of Walker & Dunlop's Financial Advisor

        On June 7, 2012, Walker & Dunlop executed an engagement agreement with KBW to render financial advisory and investment banking services to Walker & Dunlop. KBW agreed to assist Walker & Dunlop in assessing the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid in the proposed acquisition by Walker & Dunlop LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walker & Dunlop, of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of CWCapital from CW Financial. Walker & Dunlop selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the Acquisition and is familiar with Walker & Dunlop and its business. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

        As part of its engagement, a representative of KBW participated in the meeting of the Walker & Dunlop Board held on June 7, 2012, at which the Board evaluated the proposed acquisition of CWCapital. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed acquisition and rendered an opinion that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to factors and assumptions set forth therein, the consideration to be paid in the proposed acquisition was fair from a financial point of view. The Board approved the Purchase Agreement at this meeting.

        The full text of KBW's written opinion, dated June 7, 2012, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein. Walker & Dunlop shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion.

        KBW's opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to the Walker & Dunlop Board and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, to Walker & Dunlop of the consideration to be paid in the Acquisition. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the Acquisition and does not constitute a recommendation to any Walker & Dunlop shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote at the Special Meeting on the Acquisition or any related matter.

Table of Contents

        In connection with its opinion, KBW reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop, including among other things, the following:

•

the Purchase Agreement;



•

the audited financial statements of CWCapital covering the three years ended December 31, 2011 and the Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Walker & Dunlop for the three years ended December 31, 2011;



•

certain interim reports of CWCapital and certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Walker & Dunlop and certain other communications from CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop to their respective securityholders; and



•

other financial information concerning the business and operations of CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop furnished by CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop for the purposes of KBW's analysis.

        KBW also held discussions with senior management of CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory and government sponsored entity relations, financial conditions and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as KBW deemed relevant to its inquiry.

        In addition, KBW compared certain financial and stock market information for Walker & Dunlop and certain financial information of CWCapital with similar information for certain other companies of the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain business combinations in the commercial real estate finance industry and performed such other studies and analyses as KBW considered appropriate.

        In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to it or otherwise publicly available. KBW did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility for such verification or accuracy. KBW relied upon the management of CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and bases therefore) provided to KBW, and assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such managements. KBW is not an expert in the independent verification of the value of mortgage servicing rights or of the adequacy of allowances for risk-sharing obligations and it has assumed, with our consent, that the aggregate allowances for risk-sharing obligations for CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering its opinion, KBW has not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the property, assets or liabilities (including, but not limited to, the mortgage servicing rights) of CWCapital or Walker & Dunlop, nor has it examined any individual credit files.

        The projections furnished to KBW and used by it in certain of its analyses were developed by Walker & Dunlop's and CWCapital's senior management teams. Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to KBW in connection with its review of the proposed acquisition. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.

Table of Contents

        For purposes of rendering its opinion, KBW assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:

•

the Acquisition will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement with no additional payments or adjustments to the consideration;



•

the representations and warranties of each party in the Purchase Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Purchase Agreement are true and correct;



•

each party to the Purchase Agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;



•

all conditions to the completion of the Purchase Agreement will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the Purchase Agreement; and



•

the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual or other consents or approvals for the Acquisition, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the Acquisition, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the Acquisition.

        KBW also considered such financial and other factors as it deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others, the following:

•

the historical and current financial position and results of operations of CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop;



•

the assets and liabilities of CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop; and



•

the nature and terms of certain other transactions involving mortgage finance and commercial real estate finance companies.

        KBW further took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and its experience in other transactions, as well as its experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the financial services industry generally. KBW's opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date thereof and the information made available to KBW through the date thereof. KBW's opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Walker & Dunlop to engage in the Acquisition, or the relative merits of the Acquisition as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Walker & Dunlop.

        In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the Board in making its determination to approve the Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Board with respect to the fairness of the consideration in the Acquisition.

        The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by KBW to the Board on June 7, 2012, in connection with its fairness opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the KBW opinion or the presentation made by KBW to the Board, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most

appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

        Summary of Proposal.    Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CW Financial will be entitled to receive in aggregate $80 million in cash and a number of shares assumed to equal 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement indicating a value of consideration paid at announcement of $220 million ("Transaction Value"). The terms and conditions are more fully set forth under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43.

        Selected Companies Analysis.    Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market performance of CWCapital to the following institutions that conduct businesses with certain characteristics that may be considered similar service providers. Companies included in this group were:

Walker & Dunlop, Inc.
CB Richard Ellis Group
Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.
HFF Inc.

        To perform this analysis, KBW used financial information as of the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 for the respective book values reported by each of the selected companies and used financial information as of the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2012 for the respective earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of the selected companies. For the purposes of this comparison, for Walker & Dunlop, EBITDA includes net warehouse income and excludes gains and amortization related to mortgage servicing rights and provision expense from the EBITDA calculation ("Adjusted EBITDA"). For CWCapital, KBW used the most current data available for Adjusted EBITDA which was for the full year ending December 31, 2011. Earnings estimates for 2012 and 2013 were taken from a nationally recognized earnings estimate consolidator for selected companies. For CWCapital, KBW used CWCapital's budget for 2012 and earnings estimates for 2013 as developed by Walker & Dunlop management for CWCapital. Certain financial data prepared by KBW, and as referenced in the tables presented below, may not correspond to the data presented in Walker & Dunlop's and CWCapital's historical financial statements as a result of the different periods, assumptions and methods used by KBW to compute the financial data presented. No company used in this analysis is identical to CWCapital. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of this analysis is not entirely mathematical. Rather, this analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies to which CWCapital was compared.

        KBW's analysis showed the following concerning CWCapital's theoretical market valuation based on the Transaction Value:

        Selected Transaction Analysis.    KBW reviewed publicly available information related to selected M&A transactions for commercial mortgage finance companies in the United States since 1996 with disclosed deal metrics. The transactions included in the group were:

        Transaction multiples for the Acquisition were derived from a Transaction Value of $220 million. For each transaction referred to above, KBW derived and compared, among other things, the implied ratio of Transaction Value to:

•

total assets of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company prior to the announcement of the acquisition,



•

book value of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company prior to the announcement of the acquisition,



•

last twelve months of revenue of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company prior to the announcement of the acquisition,

Table of Contents

•

last twelve months of earnings of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company prior to the announcement of the acquisition, and



•

last twelve months of originations of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company prior to the announcement of the acquisition.

        No company, business or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to CWCapital, Walker & Dunlop or the Acquisition. Accordingly, an evaluation of these results is not mathematical. Rather, the analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved as well as other factors that could affect the purchase or other values of the companies, business segments or transactions to which the Acquisition were compared.

        Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.    KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range of the present values of after-tax cash flows that CWCapital could provide to equity holders through 2016. In performing this analysis, KBW used operating estimates for CWCapital provided by Walker & Dunlop's management for 2012 through 2016 and assumed discount rates ranging from 12.0 percent to 15.0 percent. The range of values was determined by adding (i) the present value of the projected cash flows to CWCapital shareholders from 2012 to 2016, (ii) the present value of the accounting treatment adjustments, acquisition adjustments and cost savings from the transaction from 2012 to 2016 and (iii) the present value of the terminal value of CWCapital's enterprise value at 2016. In determining cash flows available to shareholders, KBW used Walker & Dunlop management's assumption that CWCapital would need to retain cash of $1,000,000 per quarter to be compliant with Fannie Mae capital requirements. Any cash flow in excess of what would need to be retained represented dividendable cash flows for CWCapital. In calculating the present value of accounting treatment adjustments, acquisition adjustments and cost savings, KBW used Walker & Dunlop management assumptions. Included in this is the tax benefit from purchase accounting adjustments as well as the tax benefit terminal value which represents the discounted future cash tax benefits from the amortization of goodwill. In calculating the terminal value of CWCapital, KBW applied multiples ranging from 7.0 times to 8.5 times 2016 forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. This resulted in a range of values of CWCapital from $226.3 million to $290.5 million. The discounted cash flow present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology that relies on numerous assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of CWCapital.

        Financial Impact Analysis.    KBW performed a financial impact analysis that combined the projected income of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the Acquisition would have on certain projected financial results of Walker & Dunlop. In the course of this analysis, KBW used earnings estimates for Walker & Dunlop for 2012 and 2013 from consensus Wall Street earnings estimates, compiled by a nationally recognized earnings estimate consolidator and used earnings estimates for CWCapital for 2012 and 2013 from Walker & Dunlop management. This analysis indicated that the Acquisition is expected to be accretive to Walker & Dunlop's estimated earnings per

38

Table of Contents

share in 2012 and 2013. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by Walker & Dunlop following the Acquisition will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

        The Board retained KBW as financial adviser to Walker & Dunlop for certain matters related to the Acquisition. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services companies in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of financial services companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of mortgage finance and commercial real estate finance companies. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, KBW may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, CW Financial, CWCapital and Walker & Dunlop, and as a market maker in securities, KBW may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Walker & Dunlop for KBW's own account and for the accounts of KBW's customers.

        Walker & Dunlop and KBW entered into an agreement relating to the services to be provided by KBW in connection with the Acquisition. Walker & Dunlop paid KBW a cash fee of $500,000 concurrently with the rendering of the Fairness Opinion (the "Opinion Fee") related to the transaction. In addition, Walker & Dunlop agreed to pay KBW at the time of the closing of the Transaction a cash fee (the "Contingent Fee") equal to $2,500,000. The Opinion Fee shall be credited against the Contingent Fee. Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Walker & Dunlop also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. During the two years preceding the date of its opinion to Walker & Dunlop, KBW has received compensation for investment banking services from Walker & Dunlop. During the two years preceding the date of its opinion to Walker & Dunlop, KBW has not received compensation for investment banking services provided to CWCapital or CW Financial. KBW has in the past been, and may in the future be, engaged to provide investment banking services to Fortress and its affiliated entities or in other business relationships with such entities, and has in the past received, and may in the future receive, compensation for such services or relationships.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Acquisition

        None of the Company's directors or executive officers has any substantial financial interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon, other than being a director or executive officer and a stockholder of the Company. Information regarding security ownership and equity compensation of our directors and executive officers is hereby incorporated by reference to the material appearing under the captions "Voting Securities of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" and "Equity Compensation Plan Information" in the Company's 2012 annual stockholder meeting proxy statement, which was filed with the SEC on April 26, 2012.

Impact of the Stock Issuance on our Existing Stockholders; Effect of the Acquisition

        If approved and implemented, the Share Issuance Proposal will dilute the ownership and voting interests of our existing stockholders. Assuming the issuance of approximately 11.6 million shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition and no other issuances of shares of our Common Stock as of the date of approval by our stockholders, CW Financial would thereby receive approximately 34 percent, on a fully-diluted basis, of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing. Therefore, the ownership and voting interests of our existing stockholders will be proportionately reduced. Following the Acquisition, CWCapital will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser, and certain of its assets and operations will be transferred to the Purchaser.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition to Walker & Dunlop and its Stockholders

        Because our stockholders do not participate in the Acquisition, our stockholders will not recognize gain or loss in connection with the Acquisition with respect to their stock in Walker & Dunlop. There will be no material federal income tax consequences to Walker & Dunlop as a result of the Acquisition.

Accounting Treatment of the Acquisition

        We prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting with Walker & Dunlop being treated as the acquirer. The Acquisition will result in the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price used in the pro forma combined financial information presented elsewhere in this proxy statement is based on preliminary estimates and currently available information. These assumptions and estimates, some of which cannot be finalized until the consummation of the Acquisition, will be revised as additional information becomes available upon consummation of the Acquisition and finalization of the valuation of CWCapital's assets and liabilities. The final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities of CWCapital as of the closing date of the Acquisition.

        Additionally, the pro forma combined financial information presented herein does not give effect to any potential cost reductions or other operating efficiencies that could result from the Acquisition, including but not limited to, those associated with potential (i) reductions of corporate overhead, (ii) elimination of duplicate functions and (iii) increased operational efficiencies through the adoption of best practices and capabilities from each company. The pro forma combined financial information is not intended to represent what Walker & Dunlop's financial position or results of operation would actually have been if the Acquisition had occurred on the dates presented. The pro forma combined statements of income have not been adjusted for the charges related to the transaction costs as these costs are attributable to the transaction but will not have a continuing impact. See the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information" beginning on page 93.

        KPMG LLP serves as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012 and served as such for 2011. We have been advised by KPMG LLP that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the Special Meeting. These representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

No Appraisal Rights

        No stockholder of Walker & Dunlop will be entitled to exercise appraisal rights or to demand payment for their shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition.

Regulatory Approvals and Clearances

        To complete the Acquisition, we must obtain approvals, consents or clearances from, or make filings with, antitrust and other regulatory authorities and quasi-governmental agencies, including, but not limited to, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, HUD and the Federal Housing Administration of HUD. We describe the material consents and filings below. We are not currently aware of any other material governmental and quasi-governmental clearances, consents, approvals or filings that are required prior to the parties' completion of the Acquisition other than those we describe below. If additional approvals, consents or filings are required to complete the Acquisition, Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital contemplate seeking or making such consents, approvals and filings.

United States Antitrust Laws

        Under the HSR Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the parties cannot close the Acquisition until each party files a notification form with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the statutory 30-calendar-day waiting period following the parties' filing of their respective HSR Act notification forms has expired or been terminated. If the DOJ or the FTC issues a "Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material" (a "Second Request") prior to the expiration of the initial waiting period, the parties must observe a second 30-day waiting period, which would begin to run only after both parties have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier. We do not believe that the Acquisition will violate federal antitrust laws, but we cannot guarantee that the DOJ or the FTC will not take a different position.

        At any time before the Acquisition is completed, either the DOJ or the FTC could take any action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin completion of the Acquisition, conditioning completion of the Acquisition upon the divestiture of assets of Walker & Dunlop, CW Financial or their respective subsidiaries or imposing restrictions on Walker & Dunlop's post-acquisition operations. In addition, U.S. and state attorneys general and private parties may bring legal action under federal or state antitrust laws under certain circumstances. After the Acquisition is completed, the DOJ or FTC can bring an action against the parties claiming the Acquisition was illegal and forcing all or part of the Acquisition to be unwound.

        The Purchase Agreement requires that the parties, to the extent necessary to obtain any waiver or consent from any governmental antitrust authority (i.e., the FTC, the DOJ, or any other applicable antitrust or competition authority) required to consummate the Acquisition, take all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate any impediments under any applicable antitrust laws so as to enable the Closing to occur as provided in the Purchase Agreement, including, among other things (i) effecting, by consent decree or otherwise, the divestiture or disposition of businesses, product lines or assets of CWCapital, the Company or the Purchaser, and (ii) otherwise taking actions that after the Closing Date would limit the Company's or the Purchaser's ability to operate or retain one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Company. The Purchase Agreement does not, however, require any party to take any such action with respect to its assets or businesses if that would have a Material Adverse Effect on such party.

        In addition, each party has agreed to litigate or oppose any governmental authority in court or administrative proceedings concerning the parties' entitlement to governmental approvals or regulatory clearances for the Acquisition and related transactions and, in the event of any such litigation or opposition, each of the Company and the Purchaser, on the one hand, and CW Financial, on the other hand, will pay 50 percent of all fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees) thereby incurred.

Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Requirements

        We must also comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and the NYSE rules and regulations in connection with the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition and the filing of this proxy statement with the SEC.

Commitment to Obtain Approvals

        Walker & Dunlop and CW Financial have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all authorizations, consents, orders, clearances and approvals of all governmental authorities that are necessary for the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (including, but not limited to, consents or other approvals from Ginnie Mae, HUD and the Federal Housing Administration of HUD and an appropriate filing of notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act). Regulators could object to the Acquisition and/or impose

41

Table of Contents

conditions or restrictions on their approval that are materially adverse to Walker & Dunlop or CW Financial. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Walker & Dunlop and CW Financial are obligated to take all commercially reasonable actions as may be reasonably necessary to obtain any governmental approvals, including such actions as are necessary to resolve any objections to the Acquisition raised by such regulators.

Timing

        Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital expect to complete the Acquisition by the end of the [    •    ] quarter of 2012. Although we believe that we will receive the required clearances, consents and approvals described below to complete the Acquisition, we cannot assure you that all of the regulatory approvals and clearances described above will be obtained and, if obtained, we cannot assure you as to the timing of any approvals or clearances, the ability to obtain the approvals or clearances on satisfactory terms or the absence of any litigation challenging such approvals or clearances. We also cannot assure you that the DOJ, the FTC or any state attorney general will not attempt to challenge the Acquisition on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result.

Financing of the Acquisition

        Under the Purchase Agreement, CWCapital has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with obtaining the Financing. The Purchaser has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter and, in the Purchaser's judgment, to take enforcement action, including seeking to obtain specific performance, to cause the financing sources to fund the Financing. In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, the Purchaser has agreed to promptly notify CW Financial and to use best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Acquisition as promptly as practicable. The Purchaser has agreed that the obtaining of the Financing is not a condition to the Closing. For a description of the Commitment Letter, see "The Financing" beginning on page 66.

THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

        The following is a summary of selected material provisions of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein. The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and not by this summary or any other information in this proxy statement. This discussion is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement. We urge all stockholders to read the Purchase Agreement, as well as this proxy statement, carefully and in their entirety before making any decision regarding the Acquisition and the Stock Issuance.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Purchase Agreement

        The Purchase Agreement and the summary set forth below have been included to provide all stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement and are not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about us in our public reports filed with the SEC. In particular, the Purchase Agreement and the following summary of its terms are not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts or circumstances relating to us, CW Financial, our or their subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. The representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement have been negotiated only for the purpose of the Purchase Agreement and are intended solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. In many cases, these representations, warranties and covenants are subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties and are qualified by certain supplemental disclosures provided by the parties to one another in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, many of the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement are the result of a negotiated allocation of contractual risk among the parties and, taken in isolation, do not necessarily reflect facts about us, CW Financial, our or their subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. Likewise, any references to materiality contained in the representations and warranties may not correspond to concepts of materiality applicable to investors or stockholders. Certain of these representations were accurate as of a specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, and these changes may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.

Cash and Stock Consideration

        On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire from CW Financial all of the limited liability company membership interests in CWCapital. As consideration for the Acquisition, the Purchaser has agreed to pay CW Financial aggregate consideration of $220 million, subject to certain adjustments, consisting of (i) a cash payment of $80 million, to be made through a combination of existing capital and the Financing anticipated to be obtained, and (ii) a non-cash payment equal to the Stock Consideration. The Stock Consideration is expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described below.

Adjustment to Stock Consideration

        To mitigate the risk to the Company and CW Financial associated with any potentially significant increase or decrease, respectively, in the price of the Common Stock between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing Date, the parties have agreed that the number of shares constituting the Stock Consideration will be fixed at 11,647,255 shares (and the Common Stock price at $12.02) within a "collar" of a 30 percent upward or downward fluctuation in the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock. However, if (a) the volume weighted average NYSE trading price of the Common Stock during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third trading day prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Share Value") is greater than $15.62 (i.e., more than 30 percent greater

43

than $12.02), then the Stock Consideration will equal the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $182 million divided by the Closing Share Value, or (b) the Closing Share Value is less than $8.41 (i.e., more than 30 percent less than $12.02), then the Stock Consideration will equal the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $98 million divided by the Closing Share Value. The Stock Consideration's 30 percent-two-way collar may be illustrated as follows:

Adjustment to Cash Consideration

        The Cash Consideration is subject to a two-stage working capital adjustment, as follows. The Cash Consideration will be reduced or increased at the Closing Date by the amount, if any, by which CWCapital's good faith Closing Date estimate of its working capital (calculated as stipulated in the Purchase Agreement) as of such date is greater or less than $11 million. Following the Closing Date, the parties are required to engage in a process to determine the actual Closing Date working capital of the Company. If the actual Closing Date working capital exceeds CWCapital's Closing estimate of such working capital, then the excess will be paid by the Purchaser to CW Financial; and, if the actual Closing Date working capital is less than CWCapital's Closing estimate of such working capital, the shortfall will be paid by CW Financial to the Purchaser, both with interest at an annual rate equal to the prime lending rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the Closing Date.

VOTING AGREEMENTS

        The following is a summary of selected material provisions of the Voting Agreements (as defined below). We urge you to read each Voting Agreement carefully and in its entirety. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreements, copies of which are attached as Annex C and Annex D to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein.

Background

        Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, William M. Walker, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Richard M. Lucas, Howard W. Smith, III, Richard C. Warner, and Deborah A. Wilson, all executive officers of the Company (collectively, the "WD Executive Stockholders"); Mallory Walker, Mr. Walker's father; and Column (together with the WD Executive Stockholders and Mallory Walker, collectively, the "Specified Stockholders"), have entered into voting agreements (the "Voting Agreements") with CW Financial by which each has agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Share Issuance Proposal at the Special Meeting, against any proposal made to the stockholders of the Company that could reasonably be expected to result in any of the closing conditions in the Purchase Agreement not being fulfilled, and, other than Column, to appoint each executive officer of CW Financial as such Specified Stockholder's attorney-in-fact with respect to the voting for matters related to the Purchase Agreement.

        The Voting Agreements collectively cover approximately 47 percent of the Common Stock. The WD Executive Stockholders and Mallory Walker are party to a Voting Agreement among themselves, the Company, the Purchaser and CW Financial. Column is party to a separate Voting Agreement among itself, the Company, the Purchaser and CW Financial. Further, the Specified Stockholders have agreed to certain customary restrictions on their ability to sell, encumber or otherwise dispose of their respective shares of Common Stock prior to the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

Share Issuance Proposal and Special Meeting

        In addition to the voting covenants described above, each of the WD Executive Stockholders and Mallory Walker has agreed to vote all of such Specified Stockholder's shares of Common Stock or, as appropriate, execute written consents in respect thereof:

•

in favor of the approval of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby;



•

against any action or agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment of any agreement) that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Company, the Purchaser or such Specified Stockholder in the Voting Agreement or the Purchase Agreement; and



•

against any agreement, amendment of the organizational documents or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the Purchaser or other action that would hinder the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Voting Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

Voting Proxy

        In order to secure the performance of each WD Executive Stockholder's and Mallory Walker's obligations under the Voting Agreement, such stockholder has under the Voting Agreement irrevocably granted a proxy, coupled with an interest, appointing each executive officer of CW Financial as such stockholder's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution, for and in his name, to vote, as such attorney-in-fact and proxy deems proper with respect to such stockholder's shares of Common Stock for any matters covered by the bulleted items described above. The Voting Agreement provides

57

Table of Contents

that the proxy will be deemed revoked upon the earlier of (i) termination of the Voting Agreement in accordance with its terms, or (ii) the Closing.

CW Financial and Column Board Designees

        Under the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement to which Column is party, to the extent that Column beneficially owns at least 10 percent of our then outstanding Common Stock, at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders to be held during 2013 and 2014 (or at any special meeting of stockholders of the Company held prior to the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders at which Board directors are to be elected), or at any taking of action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of such meetings (each a "Director Election"), the following arrangements will apply (the "Board Designee Arrangements"):

•

Column shall have the right to designate one nominee for election to the Board (such nominee, the "CS Nominee") at such Director Elections;



•

at each such Director Election, (i) the Company's nominating committee and corporate governance committee shall recommend to the Board the nomination of Column's nominee for election to the Board, and (ii) the Board shall recommend to stockholders of the Company the election of the Column nominee to the Board; and



•

(i) CW Financial and its affiliates will vote all of their shares of Common Stock then held in favor of electing the CS Nominee to the Board, and (ii) Column will vote all of its shares of Common Stock then held in favor of electing CW Financial's or its affiliates' nominees to the Board.

Pre-Closing Standstill

        Each Specified Stockholder has agreed that, from the date of the Voting Agreement through the Closing (or, in the case of Column only, until the date of the Special Meeting for the approval of the Share Issuance Proposal or such earlier date on which such approval is obtained), it will not sell, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, except pursuant to an existing Rule 10b5-1 plan under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or in compliance with certain other exceptions.

Post-Closing Standstill

        Additionally, each of the WD Executive Stockholders has agreed under the Voting Agreement that, from the date of the Closing until 180 days thereafter, he or she will not sell, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, except pursuant to an existing Rule 10b5-1 plan under the Exchange Act or in compliance with certain other exceptions.

Termination

        Pursuant to its terms, the Voting Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms. Also, in the event that the Closing occurs, the provisions of the Voting Agreement relating to the matters described in the preceding paragraphs captioned "Share Issuance Proposal and Special Meeting," "—Voting Proxy" and "—Pre-Closing Standstill" will terminate and all other provisions of the Voting Agreement will survive the Closing.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

        On the Closing Date, the Company will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with CW Financial.

        The following is a summary of selected material provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Company and CW Financial are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement. We urge you to read the Registration Rights Agreement carefully and in its entirety. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a form of which is attached as Annex E to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein.

        For purposes of this summary, "Registrable Securities" of any Holder means (1) the shares of our Common Stock issued to CW Financial as the Stock Consideration and (2) any other debt or equity securities issued by the Company, in any case issued with respect to any Common Stock or such other securities by way of share or other dividend, distribution or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise, and any shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. CW Financial and each assignee or transferee of any of the Registrable Securities (provided such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement) are referred to in this summary as "Holders."

Shelf Registration

        The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date and in all events within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 (or any comparable or successor form) relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities (the "Initial Shelf Registration"). If we are not eligible to use Form S-3 at the time of filing, we are required to use Form S-1 (or any comparable or successor form) to effect such registration. We are required to use reasonable best efforts to, among other things, cause the applicable registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date following the filing thereof.

        We are required to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement are eligible for sale without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act without volume limitations or other restrictions on transfer thereunder or (ii) the date on which the Holders consummate the sale of all of the Registrable Securities registered under the registration statement (the earlier of (i) or (ii), the "Termination Date").

Underwritten Offering

        The Registration Rights Agreement provides that, upon the written request of Holders of a number of Registrable Securities equal to at least 5 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Closing (an "Underwritten Offering Notice"), such Holder(s) shall be entitled to effect the sale of Registrable Securities through an underwritten public offering (an "Underwritten Offering"). The Company is not be obligated to effect more than three Underwritten Offerings (except that if the number of Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Offering has been cutback at the request of the managing underwriter(s) by 25 percent or more from the number of Registrable Securities requested in the Underwritten Offering Notice by the applicable Holder(s), then such

59

Table of Contents

Underwritten Offering shall not count towards the three Underwritten Offerings). In addition, the Company will not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, an Underwritten Offering:

•

within 180 days following the last date on which an Underwritten Offering was effected pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or during any lock-up period required by the underwriters in any prior Underwritten Offering conducted by the Company on its own behalf or on behalf of selling stockholders, or



•

during the period commencing with the date 30 days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement with respect to an underwritten offering of Common Stock for its own account or for the account of one more other stockholders of the Company, and ending on a date 90 days after the effective date of such registration statement.

        The Company has agreed that, upon receipt of a valid Underwritten Offering Notice for an Underwritten Offering, the Company will give written notice of the proposed Underwritten Offering to all other Holders as soon as practicable. Within 10 business days following such notice from the Company, each Holder who wishes to participate in such Underwritten Offering must so notify the Company in writing and specify the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Underwritten Offering. The Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in an Underwritten Offering will be entitled to select the managing underwriters for any such Underwritten Offering, subject to the approval of the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company is required to cooperate with the Holder(s) and such managing underwriters in connection with any such offering.

Piggyback Registration

        If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an underwritten offering of Common Stock for its own account or for the account of one or more other stockholders of the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company's existing stockholders), then the Company will give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 10 business days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice will offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing within 5 business days of receiving such notice (a "Piggyback Registration").

        The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of the proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Our obligation to register a Piggyback Registration is subject to certain customary underwriting cutbacks in the event the managing underwriter determines that inclusion of the number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration would adversely affect the marketability of such offering.

Suspension of Registration

        The Company may postpone the filing of a registration statement and require any Holder not to sell under a registration statement or suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (i) the Board determines in good faith that such registration and/or offering would materially and adversely affect any offering of securities of the Company, or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event would require additional disclosure by the Company in the registration statement of material information which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the registration statement would be expected, in the Company's reasonable determination,

60

---

Table of Contents

to cause the registration statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance a "Suspension Event"). The Company has agreed that it may not delay, suspend or withdraw such registration statement for more than 60 days at any one time, or more than twice in any 12-month period, or more than three times in any two year period. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement provides that, if all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date, then upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement shall be suspended until the Company has filed such reports.

Indemnification

        In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify a Holder and its affiliates for any and all losses relating to any untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or any omission of a material fact from, any registration statement, prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except to the extent (i) any such untrue statements or omissions are based upon written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus (the "Holder Information"), or (ii) arising out of such Holder's failure to deliver to any purchaser of the Registrable Securities an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to such Holder by the Company, if such loss would not have arisen had such delivery occurred).

        Similarly, each Holder will severally, and not jointly with each other, indemnify the Company and its affiliates and each other Holder from and against any and all losses for any untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or any omission of a material fact from, any registration statement, prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent (i) that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon Holder Information, or (ii) arising out of such Holder's failure to deliver to any purchaser of the Registrable Securities an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to such Holder by the Company, if such loss would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.

Reports Under the Exchange Act

        To make available the benefits of Rule 144 to the Holders, the Company is obligated to timely file the reports required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Assignment of Registration Rights

        The rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, will be automatically assignable by any Holder of Registrable Securities to any transferee or assignee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and such Holder provides written notice to the Company within 10 business days of the effectiveness of such assignment).

CLOSING AGREEMENT

        On the Closing Date, the Company will enter into a Closing Agreement with CW Financial and CWCapital. The following is a summary of selected material provisions of the Closing Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Company, CW Financial and CWCapital are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Closing Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement. We urge you to read the form of Closing Agreement carefully and in its entirety. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Closing Agreement, a form of which is attached as Annex F to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein.

        For purposes of this summary, "Qualified Director" means a director who qualifies as an independent director of the Company under (i) the bylaws of the Company and any applicable corporate governance policies or guidelines of the Company then in effect and (ii) (A) applicable rules of the NYSE, as such rules may be amended or supplemented from time to time or (B) if the Common Stock is listed on a securities exchange or quotation system other than the NYSE, any comparable rule or regulation of the primary securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, in each case as determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no affiliate of CW Financial or any member of a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with CW Financial shall be deemed a "Qualified Director".

Restrictive Covenants

Non-Competition

        CW Financial agreed that, for two years after the Closing Date, it will not, and will cause its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, act as a director, officer, equityholder, partner or owner of any business or business unit that is engaged in providing Competing Services within North America (including being engaged as a principal part of such business or business unit in providing Competing Services within North America). "Competing Services" means lending money through loans secured by commercial real estate as an authorized or licensed Fannie Mae DUS, Freddie Mac Program Plus or MAP- or LEAN-approved FHA lender under the programs established by such agencies. Competing Services excludes correspondent lending, brokering loans and providing any other services to a lender that provides Competing Services.

Non-Solicitation of Employees

Confidentiality

        The Company and CW Financial each agree that, for two years after the effective date of the Closing Agreement, it will, and will cause its subsidiaries and representatives to, maintain the confidentiality of, and refrain from disclosing to any person, all confidential information of the other party and its subsidiaries, except to the extent disclosure is required by law or in response to any summons or subpoena. In the event that such party reasonably believes after consultation with counsel that it or its subsidiaries is required by law or in response to any summons or subpoena to disclose any such confidential information, such party will, to the extent legally permissible, (i) provide the other party with prompt notice before such disclosure so that such other party may attempt to obtain, at such other party's sole cost and expense, a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment

62

Table of Contents

will be accorded to such confidential information and (ii) cooperate with the other party, at such other party's sole cost and expense, in attempting to obtain such order or assurance.

Non-Disparagement

        The Company and CW Financial each agreed that, for two years after the Closing Date, it will cause the members of its senior management not to, directly or indirectly, make any statements or any other expressions (in writing, orally or otherwise) on television, radio, the internet or other media or to any third party, that are in any way disparaging of the other party or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates, or the products and services of the foregoing.

Releases

        CW Financial, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries (the "Seller Releasing Parties"), agreed to forever and unconditionally waive and release CWCapital, its subsidiaries and their respective current and former officers, directors and agents (collectively, the "Released Company Parties"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, costs, penalties, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, liabilities, controversies, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, demands, grievances or any other claims of any kind or nature, known or unknown, existing or claimed to exist, fixed or contingent, both at law and in equity ("Causes of Action") that such Seller Releasing Party has, has ever had or may have against the Released Company Parties arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date but solely to the extent that such Causes of Action arose out of CW Financial's ownership and conduct of the business of CWCapital and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date. CWCapital, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries (the "Company Releasing Parties"), agreed to forever and unconditionally waive and release CW Financial, its subsidiaries and their respective current and former officers, directors and agents (collectively, the "Released Seller Parties"), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from Causes of Action that such Company Releasing Party has, has ever had or may hereafter have against the Released Seller Parties arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date but solely to the extent that such Causes of Action arose out of CW Financial's ownership and conduct of the business of CWCapital and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date. However, the Closing Agreement does not release any Released Company Party or Released Seller Party from (i) any Causes of Action arising under the Closing Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the transaction documents in connection with the Acquisition or any rights to indemnification thereunder or (ii) any Causes of Action arising under arms length contracts existing between CWCapital and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and CW Financial and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, which remain in effect after the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Restrictions on Transfer of Acquired Shares

        CW Financial has agreed not to transfer any of the shares of Common Stock issued to it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement prior to the 180th day following the effective date of the Closing Agreement, except for transfers to one or more of CW Financial's affiliates. CW Financial will be liable for any subsequent transfers by its affiliates in breach of the preceding sentence.

Right of First Offer

        If at any time CW Financial desires to transfer to an unaffiliated third party or third parties the shares of Common Stock issued to it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (i) which would constitute more than 20 percent of our then issued and outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, and (ii) such proposed transfer would be consummated pursuant to a private sale (other than through any broker dealer transactions) and not through a public offering of securities pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the

63

---

Table of Contents

Securities Act, then prior to effecting such transfer, CW Financial has agreed to deliver a written notice (a "ROFO Notice") to the Company specifying the number of shares desired to be transferred (the "ROFO Shares").

        Within seven days of receipt of the ROFO Notice (the "Offer Period"), the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to provide CW Financial an irrevocable written offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the ROFO Shares, in cash (the "Offer Notice") at such price per ROFO Share (the "ROFO Price") set forth in the Offer Notice and on a Closing Date no later than five days following the date of delivery of the Offer Notice. If the Company does not deliver an Offer Notice within the Offer Period, then the Company forfeits its right to purchase the ROFO Shares and CW Financial will have the right, but not the obligation, to transfer any or all of the ROFO Shares to any person at a price per ROFO Share that is at least 95 percent of the ROFO Price; provided, however, that with respect to any ROFO Shares that are not transferred within the ninety day period beginning at the end of the Offer Period, CW Financial may not transfer such shares without first complying with the right of first offer provisions, if applicable.

Standstill Arrangement

        CW Financial agreed that, from and after the effective date of the Purchase Agreement and for so long as (a) CW Financial has the right under the Purchase Agreement to designate a person to serve as a director on the Company's Board and (b) the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of the date of the Closing Agreement (the "Current CPCEO") continues to serve as at least one of the Chairman and/or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, CW Financial will not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of a majority of the Qualified Directors:

•

publicly initiate any offer to effect, seek or propose (with or without conditions), any merger, acquisition, consolidation, other business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, tender offer or exchange offer with or involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or all or substantially all their respective securities or assets (each a "Prohibited Transaction"). However, CW Financial may (i) file or amend its Schedule 13D regarding its Common Stock as required by law or to make other securities or tax filings as required by law, (ii) support any Prohibited Transaction initiated by any third party, (iii) vote its Common Stock with respect to any matter that does not relate to a Prohibited Transaction, or (iv) vote, tender or exchange its Common Stock in any Prohibited Transaction initiated, sought or proposed by any third party; or



•

engage, or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any "solicitation" (as such term is defined in Rule 14a-1(l) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act) of proxies or consents (whether or not relating to the election or removal of directors), seek to advise, encourage or influence any person with respect to the voting of any of the Company securities (except in support of proposals approved by the Board of Directors), in each case, against the election of the Company's directors;

However, if the Current CPCEO is terminated by our Board with CW Financial's Board designees voting in favor of such termination, then the standstill obligations of CW Financial under the Closing Agreement will terminate twelve months after the termination of the Current CPCEO.

Piggyback Letter Agreement

        The Company, CW Financial and the Specified Stockholders (other than Richard M. Lucas) (the "Current Stockholders"), who are parties to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 20, 2010 with the Company (the "2010 Registration Rights Agreement"), entered into a letter agreement dated as of June 7, 2012 (the "Piggyback Side Letter") pursuant to which each of CW Financial and the Current Stockholders agreed to, among other things: (i) pro rata cutbacks with

THE FINANCING

        The following is a summary of selected material provisions of the Commitment Letter pertaining to the Financing, dated as of June 8, 2012, between the Company and Bank of America. The rights and obligations of the Company and Bank of America are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter and not by this summary or any other information contained in this proxy statement. We urge you to read the Commitment Letter in its entirety. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Letter, a copy of which is attached as Annex G to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein.

        The Company, the Purchaser and Walker & Dunlop Multifamily, Inc. (which is the direct parent of the Purchaser) are parties, as borrowers, to the Term Loan Agreement, with Bank of America, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and Bank of America and PNC Bank, National Association, successor to National City Bank, as the lenders thereunder. In order to finance the cash consideration payable at the Closing, the Company requested Bank of America (as Administrative Agent and as a lender) and, pursuant to the Commitment Letter, Bank of America has agreed, to commit to (a) amend or replace the Term Loan Agreement in order to provide for an increase in the amount of the borrowings thereunder (the "Term Loan") to the aggregate sum of $83 million, and (b) in connection therewith, lend the Company such additional principal amount under the increased Term Loan commitment as shall be necessary in order to result in the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan equaling $83 million, substantially all of the proceeds of such loan to be used solely for the purposes of the Acquisition (such loan to the Company, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, the "Senior Term Loan Facility"). Repayment must be made within five years of the Closing Date.

        The commitment of Bank of America under the Commitment Letter is subject to, among other conditions (i) the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation for the Senior Term Loan Facility consistent with the Commitment Letter, and (ii) no change, occurrence or development having occurred or becoming known to Bank of America since March 31, 2012 that, after giving effect to the Acquisition on a pro forma basis, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.

        The terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter contemplate that the Company will agree to observe certain customary financial covenants under the Senior Term Loan Facility, including the following requirements:

•

Maintenance of certain minimum tangible net worth, liquid asset (i.e., cash, cash equivalents, and self-funded mortgage loans covered by binding purchase commitments from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or another investor approved by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and EBITDA values;



•

Maintenance of a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 3:1;



•

Subject to certain exceptions, (i) all mortgage loans comprised by the Company's consolidated servicing portfolio may not be less than $20 billion at any time, and (ii) all Fannie Mae DUS mortgage loans comprised by the Company's consolidated servicing portfolio may not be less than $10.0 billion at any time;



•

Maintenance of an LTSV ratio (i.e., the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (i) the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Senior Term Facility divided by (ii) the then fair market value of all servicing contracts of the Company) of no greater than 40 percent;



•

Of the total unpaid principal amount of Fannie Mae DUS mortgage loans within the Company's consolidated servicing portfolio, no more than a to-be-specified percent thereof may be 60 or more days past due or otherwise in default; and

66

---

Table of Contents

•

Maintenance of specified not-to-exceed limits on the ratio of adjusted funded debt to four-quarter EBITDA.

        The Commitment Letter provides that all commitments and undertakings of Bank of America thereunder will expire on October 31, 2012, unless definitive documentation for the Senior Term Loan Facility is executed and delivered prior to such date. Additionally, the Commitment Letter provides that if, as of October 31, 2012, the Closing has not occurred but the Acquisition has not been terminated, then, upon request of the Company, Bank of America will, acting in good faith, consider extending the expiration date of its commitments under the Commitment Letter to no later than December 31, 2012.

        The Company has agreed that, until such expiration or earlier termination of this Commitment Letter, it will not solicit or otherwise enter into any discussions in respect of, any competing senior credit facility or facilities for the Company and its subsidiaries.

RISK FACTORS

        In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement, including the matters addressed in the section of the proxy statement entitled "Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements," you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding how to vote on the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. The risk factors related to the Acquisition present risks directly related to the Acquisition and the integration of the two companies. We have also included risks associated with each of the businesses of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital because these risks will also affect the combined company. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. The risks below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page 20.

The market price of our Common Stock may decline as a result of the Acquisition or the issuance of shares of our Common Stock.

        We could encounter transaction and integration-related costs, may fail to realize all of the benefits anticipated in the Acquisition or be subject to other factors that affect preliminary estimates. Any of these factors could cause a decrease in our adjusted earnings per share or decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Acquisition and contribute to a decrease in the price of our Common Stock.

        In addition, we are unable to predict the potential effects of the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition on the trading activity and market price of our Common Stock. We have granted registration rights to CW Financial for the resale of the shares of our Common Stock issued in connection with the Acquisition. These registration rights would facilitate the resale of such securities into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of our Common Stock available for public trading. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock.

The Acquisition will result in changes to our Board and management that may affect the strategy and operations of the Company.

        If we complete the Acquisition, the composition of our Board and management team will change. Following the completion of the Acquisition, our Board will increase from eight to eleven directors and two of the three new directors will be designated for appointment by CW Financial. This new composition of our Board may affect our business strategy and operating decisions following completion of the Acquisition. In addition, there can be no assurances that the new Board will function effectively as a team and that there will not be any adverse effects on our business as a result.

The Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of consents and clearances from domestic regulatory and quasi-governmental authorities that may not be obtained, may not be completed on a timely basis or may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on us.

        Completion of the Acquisition is conditioned upon, among other matters, the receipt of certain governmental and quasi-governmental authorizations, consents, orders, clearances or other approvals, including consents from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, HUD and the Federal Housing Administration of HUD, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and such other consents, approvals and clearances necessary to permit all parties to perform their obligations under the Purchase Agreement and complete the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions,

terms, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying completion of the Acquisition or imposing additional material costs on, or materially reducing the revenues of, our operations following the Acquisition. In addition, such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions may result in the delay or abandonment of the Acquisition.

Failure to complete the Acquisition could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or stock prices.

        Completion of the Acquisition is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the approval of the stock issuance by our stockholders, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The required conditions to closing may not be satisfied in a timely manner, if at all, or, if permissible, waived. If the Acquisition is not consummated for these or any other reasons, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and the market price of our Common Stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Acquisition will be completed.

Current stockholders will have reduced ownership and voting interests after the Acquisition.

        We will issue 11,647,255 shares of Common Stock (which represents approximately 34 percent of the Company on a fully diluted basis), subject to adjustment as described below under "The Purchase Agreement" on page 43. As a result, the percentage ownership of Walker & Dunlop held by each of our current stockholders will be smaller than such stockholder's percentage ownership of Walker & Dunlop prior to the Acquisition. Our current stockholders will, therefore, have proportionately less ownership and voting interests in Walker & Dunlop following the Acquisition than they have now.

Our future results following the Acquisition may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this document.

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial information contained in this document is presented for purposes of presenting our historical consolidated financial statements with CWCapital's historical financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the contemplated Acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the combined company following the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the purchase price to CWCapital's acquired assets and liabilities. The purchase price allocation reflected in this document is preliminary, and final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of CWCapital as of the date of the completion of the Acquisition. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition and results of operations following the Acquisition. Any change in our financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the price of our Common Stock. See the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information" beginning on page 93 for more information.

The Acquisition may result in a loss of customers, clients and strategic alliances.

        Prior to the Acquisition, some of the loan originators, customers, clients and strategic partners of CWCapital may terminate their business relationships with CWCapital because of uncertainty regarding the pending Acquisition. As a result of the Acquisition, some of the loan originators, customers, clients, potential customers or clients or strategic partners of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital may terminate their business relationships with Walker & Dunlop following the Acquisition. Furthermore, potential clients or strategic partners may delay entering into, or decide not to enter into, a business relationship with us because of the Acquisition. If customer or client relationships or strategic alliances are

Table of Contents

adversely affected by the Acquisition, our business and financial performance following the Acquisition would suffer.

We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and failure to retain and attract such personnel could seriously harm our business.

        Our continued successful performance following the Acquisition will require our business and the business of CWCapital to retain, attract and motivate skilled mortgage loan origination personnel. In light of the specialized skills of these professionals and the competitive market for their services, we cannot assure you that we will be successful at retaining, attracting and motivating qualified and high-performing, experienced mortgage loan origination professionals for those businesses. The success of our efforts in those respects may impact our ability to execute our business strategy and our future results of operations and financial condition following the Acquisition.

We may be unable to integrate CWCapital's business with our own successfully.

        Following the Acquisition, we and the Purchaser will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating CWCapital's business practices and operations with our own. Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:

•

challenges of effectively implementing and integrating our credit standards, which we believe are material contributors to our success, with respect to the business and operations of CWCapital;



•

the potential inability to successfully transition, maintain and develop CWCapital's mortgage loan origination and servicing portfolio;



•

complexities associated with managing the acquired business of CWCapital with our existing business, including difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies and the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, employees and other constituencies; and



•

potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Acquisition.

In addition, it is possible that the integration process could result in diversion of the attention of our management which could adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.

We may fail to uncover all liabilities of CWCapital through the due diligence process prior to the Acquisition, exposing us to potentially large, unanticipated costs.

        Prior to completing the Acquisition, we expect to perform certain due diligence reviews of the business of CWCapital. In view of timing and other considerations relevant to our successfully achieving the Closing, our due diligence reviews will necessarily be limited in nature and may not adequately uncover all of the contingent or undisclosed liabilities we may incur as a consequence of the Acquisition. Any such liabilities could cause us to experience potentially significant losses, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the event of the occurrence of certain material adverse events prior to Closing with respect to CWCapital, we may nevertheless be required to close the Acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

        The occurrence of the Closing is subject to a number of closing conditions, including that there shall not have occurred any "material adverse effect" (as specifically defined in the Purchase Agreement) on CWCapital, taken as a whole, after the date of the Purchase Agreement and continuing

70

Table of Contents

on the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing, events might occur that materially and adversely affect CWCapital, but that do not constitute a "material adverse effect" within the meaning of such Purchase Agreement closing conditions. If any such events were to occur, we would (without more) nevertheless be required under the Purchase Agreement to proceed with the Closing. Our completing the Acquisition under such circumstances could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We will incur substantial additional indebtedness in connection with the Acquisition.

        In connection with the Acquisition, pursuant to the Commitment Letter, we expect to enter into the Financing providing for up to $83 million in additional indebtedness under our Term Loan Agreement. See "The Financing" beginning on page 66. As a result, following the Acquisition, we will have indebtedness that is substantially greater than our indebtedness prior to the Acquisition. This higher level of indebtedness may:

•

require us to dedicate a greater percentage of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund capital expenditures, pursue other acquisitions or investments in new technologies, make stock repurchases, pay dividends and use for general corporate purposes;



•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic conditions, including increases in interest rates if the borrowings bear interest at variable rates or if such indebtedness is refinanced at a time when interest rates are higher; and



•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in or challenges relating to our business and industry, creating competitive disadvantages compared to other competitors with lower debt levels and borrowing costs.

        We cannot assure you that cash flow from operations, combined with any additional borrowings available to us, will be obtainable in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which could cause the related risks to intensify. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including under our Term Loan Agreement, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to refinance our debt, we may default under the terms of our indebtedness, which could lead to an acceleration of the debt. We do not expect that we could repay all of our outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness were to be accelerated.

CWCAPITAL MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with "Selected Historical Financial Data of CWCapital LLC", and the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, and the year ended November 30, 2009, and the unaudited financial statements of CWCapital for such periods and as of such date, as included in this proxy statement beginning on page F-2. The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. CWCapital's actual results may differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in those forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

Business

        CWCapital is one of the leading commercial real estate finance companies in the United States, with a primary focus on multifamily lending. CWCapital's clients are owners and developers of commercial real estate across the country. CWCapital has approximately 180 employees located in 14 offices across the United States. CWCapital originates and sells multifamily mortgage loans pursuant to the programs of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration, a division of HUD, with which CWCapital has long-established relationships. CWCapital is approved as a Fannie Mae DUS lender nationally, a Freddie Mac Program Plus lender in Massachusetts, Georgia, Alaska, California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey, New York City metro area, Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut, and Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania and an approved Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing lender. CWCapital is also a HUD MAP lender nationally, and a Ginnie Mae issuer. CWCapital is also a rated servicer and master servicer and services commercial loans for a number of CMBS trusts. CWCapital retains servicing rights and asset management responsibilities on substantially all loans that it sells to investors.

        On August 31, 2009, CWCapital entered into the ARA Finance LLC joint venture ("ARA") with ARA Finco LLC, a third party, for the purpose of seeking opportunities to provide mortgage loans for market rate and affordable multifamily, senior, and student housing and manufactured housing. CWCapital and ARA Finco LLC each hold a 50% interest in ARA.

        As previously discussed, CWCapital was indirectly acquired by Galaxy as part of the acquisition of CW Financial by Galaxy in 2010. Please see "Critical Accounting Policies" for accounting changes related to this acquisition.

        One of CWCapital's primary sources of revenue is the gains it recognizes from mortgage banking activities when it commits to both make a loan to a borrower (the "Borrower Rate Locks") and sell that loan to an investor (the "Investor Sale Commitment"). The gains from mortgage banking activities reflect the fair value attributable to loan origination fees, premiums or discounts on the sale of loans, net of any related originator commissions, and the fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of loans. CWCapital also generates revenue from net warehouse interest income it earns while the loan is held for sale in one of its warehouse facilities.

        CWCapital funds loans that it originates related to GSE and HUD programs through warehouse facility financings and subsequently pays off the warehouse facility financings upon the sale to the investor. The sale of the loan is typically completed within 45 days after the loan is closed.

        CWCapital retains servicing rights on substantially all of the loans it originates, and generates revenues from the fees it receives for servicing the loans, placement fees from escrow deposits held on behalf of borrowers, late charges and other ancillary fees. Servicing fees are set at the time an investor agrees to purchase the loan and are generally paid monthly for the duration of the loan. Most of CWCapital's Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing engagements provide for make-whole payments in

75

the event of a voluntary prepayment. In the context of CWCapital's CMBS servicing portfolio, certain of those loans allow for a defeasance starting two years following the securitization of the loan, and if so defeased, CWCapital is entitled to a continued stream of servicing fees through the maturity date. CWCapital's servicing portfolio had an unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $17.1 billion as of March 31, 2012.

        CWCapital is currently not exposed to interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing and delivery process. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated prior to establishing the coupon rate for the loan. In the event a loan fails to close after a negotiated sale or placement to an investor, CWCapital's exposure is generally capped at an amount equal to or less than the good faith deposit collected from the borrower. CWCapital has not had a failed loan delivery.

        CWCapital has risk-sharing obligations on most loans it originates under the Fannie Mae DUS program. When a Fannie Mae DUS loan is subject to full risk-sharing, CWCapital absorbs the first 5% of any losses on the UPB of a loan at default, and above 5% it shares a percentage of the loss with Fannie Mae, with its maximum loss capped at 20% of the original principal balance ("OPB") of a loan (the first loss percentage is subject to doubling or tripling and the maximum loss cap can increase to 30% or 40% if the loan does not meet specific underwriting criteria or if the loan defaults within 12 months of its sale to Fannie Mae). CWCapital may, however, request modified risk-sharing at the time of origination, which reduces its potential risk-sharing losses from the levels described above. CWCapital regularly requests modified risk-sharing based on such factors as the size of the loan, market conditions and loan pricing. Accordingly, certain loans are originated with less retained loss exposure. Other modified loss sharing levels are negotiated on a case by case basis. For example, certain Affordable Fannie Mae loans are originated at a loss level equal to 50% of the standard loss share formula. CWCapital has risk on 343 Fannie Mae DUS transactions with a UPB of approximately $4 billion and a maximum loss exposure of $707 million as of March 31, 2012. CWCapital has restricted cash of $7 million related to this risk. In addition to the restricted cash, CWCapital has a risk-share liability on its balance sheet as further described below.

        CWCapital has risk on seven Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing transactions with a combined UPB of $69.4 million as of March 31, 2012. The loss exposure is equal to the first 8% of each loan's UPB at default, and CWCapital has restricted cash of $1.2 million related to this risk. Subsequent to the origination of the above described loans, Freddie Mac has changed the program such that new Targeted Affordable Housing loans are originated without loss exposure to the seller/servicers. CWCapital does not have additional loans in its Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing pipeline with risk exposure. In addition to the restricted cash, CWCapital has a risk-share liability on its balance sheet as further described below.

        In addition, there is one HUD co-insured loan with risk-sharing remaining in the portfolio. The current UPB on the loan is $5.1 million, and CWCapital's loss exposure is equal to the first 5% of the UPB at default, with the balance split 15% to CWCapital and 85% to HUD on a pari passu basis.

        In connection with CWCapital's business strategy to enter the small loan multifamily and servicing business, in late 2011 CWCapital acquired a small loan servicing portfolio from an affiliate of Citigroup (the "Citigroup Loan Portfolio"). As part of the purchase, CWCapital assumed risk on certain pools of loans, as follows:

•

1% Top Loss Pool, with a total UPB of approximately $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2012. CWCapital's loss exposure is approximately $16 million and is fully collateralized with a cash reserve, reflected in its restricted cash balance.



•

Non-Recourse Pool, with a total UPB of approximately $511 million as of March 31, 2012. CWCapital has no loss exposure.

76

Table of Contents

•

Pari Passu Pool, with a total UPB of approximately $83 million as of March 31, 2012. CWCapital has a one-third loss exposure shared on a pari passu basis with Fannie Mae. CWCapital is responsible for its one-third exposure up to a cap of $5.6 million, and Citigroup is responsible for the excess.



•

Full Recourse Pool, with a total UPB of approximately $56 million as of March 31, 2012. CWCapital is responsible for all losses up to a cap of $3.0 million provided by Fannie Mae.



•

Bond Transactions, with a total UPB of approximately $23 million as of March 31, 2012. CWCapital has no loss exposure through indemnification from Citigroup.

        As of March 31, 2012 CWCapital's risk-share liability consisted of the following components (in thousands):

Basis of Presentation

        CWCapital's parent company was acquired on September 1, 2010 by Galaxy. Galaxy elected to push-down the accounting for the acquisition of the membership interests of CW Financial to the individual assets and liabilities of CW Financial and its subsidiaries, including CWCapital. This push-down election presents the assets and liabilities of CWCapital at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid in the acquisition.

        The balance sheet of CWCapital as of August 31, 2010, and the related statements of net loss, statement of member's equity and statement of cash flows for the period December 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010, are those of the Predecessor and are referred to as "the period ended August 31, 2010."

        The balance sheet of CWCapital as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of net income, statement of member's equity and statement of cash flows for the period September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, are those of the Successor and are referred to as "the period ended December 31, 2010."

78

Table of Contents

        The Predecessor statements of financial position and results of operations for the period ended August 31, 2010 are recorded on a historical cost basis; therefore the push-down accounting applied to the financial statements of CWCapital significantly affects the comparability of the Predecessor and Successor financial statements for periods immediately prior to, and immediately following the acquisition.

        Following the acquisition, the Successor elected to measure and carry its MSRs using the fair value option.

        The Predecessor elected the amortization method to account for MSRs subsequent to initial recognition. Additionally, effective December 1, 2009, CWCapital changed its accounting policy to recognize the fair value of rate locks, commitments to sell securities and commitments to sell loans at inception, which includes the fair value of all future cash flows. These accounting policies, and the effects on CWCapital's financial statements, are discussed more fully below under "Critical Accounting Policies."

Critical Accounting Policies

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant use of estimates relates to the valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, such as mortgage loans held for sale ("MLHFS"), MSRs, intangible assets, derivative assets and liabilities, risk-share liability and certain compensation plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        MLHFS—MLHFS is composed of loans that have been originated by CWCapital and are held on its balance sheet while awaiting sale.

        On September 1, 2010, the Successor elected the fair value option for MLHFS entered into at and after the election date. Fees and costs related to fair valued MLHFS are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. Changes in fair value are recorded in "mortgage banking activities" for the Successor's statements of income (loss) and in "allocation of expense from affiliates—net" for the Predecessor's statements of income (loss).

        MLFHS where CWCapital has not elected the fair value option were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently have been accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value ("LOCOFV").

        MSRs—CWCapital records a separate asset or liability initially measured at fair value for servicing rights relating to mortgages originated and sold where the servicing rights have been retained ("Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "OMSRs"). CWCapital also records a separate asset at fair value when it purchases servicing rights ("Purchased Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "PMSRs"). Management determines its classes of servicing assets and servicing liabilities based on program type.

        The Predecessor elected the amortization method to account for MSRs subsequent to initial recognition. Servicing rights created or purchased between December 1, 2008 and August 31, 2010, were amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. For that period amortization is reported as a component of "amortization of servicing rights" on the Predecessor's statement of net loss. If a loan had future funding features, then the MSR related to future draws was recognized as the future draws were funded and sold, whether funded by CWCapital or directly by the investor.

        MSRs were evaluated for impairment by stratifying the portfolio according to predominant risk characteristics, primarily investor or program type. To the extent that the carrying value of an individual

79

---

Table of Contents

stratum exceeded its estimated fair value, that MSR was considered to be impaired. Such impairment would have been recognized through the income statement. In connection with its impairment analysis, the Predecessor monitored the rate of prepayment in the servicing loan portfolio, since the prepayment rate is a primary factor affecting impairment. Additionally, the Predecessor engaged an independent third party to assist in determining appropriate assumptions in determining fair value.

        The Successor elected to measure and carry its MSRs using the fair value option. Under the fair value option, MSRs are carried on the Successor's balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value are reported in 'fair value adjustments—MSRs—net' in the Successor's statement of income.

        Risk Share Liability—CWCapital assumes risk-sharing obligations with respect to its General Loan Portfolio and Citigroup Loan Portfolio risk, as follows:

•

General Loan Portfolio—CWCapital assumes risk-sharing with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans, generally not exceeding 20% of the original principal balance. CWCapital assumes risk on the first 8% of losses on certain Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable loans. With respect to a certain Ginnie Mae securitized loan, CWCapital assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder (collectively, "General Loan Portfolio"). CWCapital records an estimated loss in the financial statements if it has been determined that it is probable that a liability will be incurred. Such estimate is recorded in risk-share liability on CWCapital's balance sheet.



•

Citigroup Loan Portfolio—CWCapital has risk on certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is limited to the first 1% of loss on a pool of loans (this risk is fully funded under a cash collateral agreement and the related cash is held in restricted cash). In addition, there are certain Fannie Mae loans where CWCapital's risk is 100% of the loss with the risk-sharing obligations capped at $3.0 million, and certain Fannie Mae loans where CWCapital's risk is pari passu with Fannie Mae on a one-third and two-thirds basis, respectively and the risk-sharing obligations are capped at $5.6 million.

        Mortgage Banking Activities—Mortgage banking activity income is recognized when CWCapital originates a loan with a borrower (the rate lock). Also included in mortgage banking activities are changes to the fair value of MLHFS and derivatives that occur during their respective holding periods. Upon sale of the loans, no gains or losses are recognized as such loans are recorded at fair value during their holding periods.

        Effective December 1, 2009, CWCapital changed its accounting policy to recognize the fair value of rate locks, commitments to sell securities and commitments to sell loans at inception, which includes the fair value of all future cash flows. The effect of this change in policy has been recognized as an opening retained earnings adjustment of $6.2 million.

Overview of Current Business Environment

        During 2011, U.S. multifamily market fundamentals continued their improvement following the macroeconomic instability experienced in recent years. Occupancy rates and effective rents appear to have increased based upon increased rental market demand, both of which aid loan performance due to their importance to the cash flows of the underlying properties. Despite this improvement in some market fundamentals, recovery of the overall real estate market continues to be challenged by the slow recovery of the broader economy.

        The commercial real estate sector began 2011 with strong funding levels from insurance companies and CMBS issuers, which surpassed 2010 origination totals before the end of the second quarter; however in the second half of the year, CMBS originations declined significantly as Treasury yields and consumer confidence decreased.

Table of Contents

        The passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd Frank") introduced complex, comprehensive legislation into the financial and real estate sectors, which will have far reaching effects on the industry and its participants. While CWCapital is not a banking institution, there is uncertainty as to how, in the coming years, Dodd-Frank may affect CWCapital or its competitors. In addition, the scope, extent and timing of GSE reform continues to be uncertain. Although CWCapital cannot predict what actions Congress or other governmental agencies may take affecting the GSEs and/or HUD, CWCapital expects some regulatory change is likely. In the interim, the GSEs and HUD continue to supply a significant level of capital to the multifamily market and are expected to do so again in 2012 as multifamily debt refinancing activity is expected to increase.

Factors That May Impact CWCapital's Operating Results

        CWCapital believes that its results may be affected by a number of factors, including the items discussed below.

•

Performance of Multifamily and Other Commercial Real Estate Related Markets.  CWCapital's business is dependent on the general demand for, and value of, commercial real estate—particularly multifamily—and related services, which are sensitive to economic conditions. Demand for multifamily and other commercial real estate generally increases during stronger economic environments, resulting in increased property values, transaction volumes and loan origination volumes. During weaker economic environments, multifamily and other commercial real estate may experience higher property vacancies, lower demand and reduced values. These conditions can result in lower property transaction volumes and loan originations, as well as an increased level of servicer advances and losses from CWCapital's risk-sharing obligations.



•

The Level of Losses from Risk-Sharing Obligations.  Under the Fannie Mae DUS program, CWCapital shares risk of loss on most loans it sells. In the majority of cases, CWCapital absorbs the first 5% of any losses on the UPB of a loan at the time of default, and above 5% it shares a percentage of the loss with Fannie Mae, with its maximum loss capped at 20% of the OPB of a loan the first loss percentage is subject to doubling or tripling and the maximum loss cap can increase to 30% or 40% if the loan does not meet specific underwriting criteria or if the loan defaults within 12 months of its sale to Fannie Mae). On certain Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable loans, CWCapital is at risk for the first 8% of any losses which is determined based on the UPB at default. On the one HUD co-insured loan for which CWCapital has retained risk, CWCapital is responsible for the first 5% of any losses which is determined based on the UPB at default and 15% of any remaining loss. As a result, a continuing rise in delinquencies could have an adverse effect on CWCapital.



•

The Price of Loans in the Secondary Market.  CWCapital's profitability is determined in part by the price it paid for the loans it originates, which is generally par. A component of its origination related revenues is the premium it recognizes on the sale of a loan. Stronger investor demand typically results in larger premiums while weaker demand results in little to no premium.



•

Market for Servicing Commercial Real Estate Loans.  Servicing fee rates for new loans are set at the time of loan sale commitment and is based on origination volumes, competition, prepayment rates and any risk-sharing obligations undertaken. Changes in future servicing fee rates impact the value of future MSRs and future servicing revenues, which could impact CWCapital's profit margins and operating results over time.



•

Human Resources.  CWCapital's profitability can be affected based on CWCapital's ability to hire and retain quality staff. In particular the hiring or loss of an established loan originator can have an impact on operating results.

81

Table of Contents

•

Interest Rates.  Rising interest rates can reduce loan origination volume but increase the value of MSRs due to the expected benefit of higher earnings on custodial funds. A drop in interest rates has the opposite effect.

        Following is a discussion of CWCapital's results of operation for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the year ended December 31, 2011, the periods ended December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, and the year ended November 30, 2009. CWCapital's historical financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results. CWCapital's business is not typically subject to seasonal trends. However, CWCapital's results have fluctuated in the past and are expected to fluctuate in the future, reflecting the interest rate environment, the volume of transactions and general economic conditions.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2011

Revenues

        Gains from Mortgage Banking.    Gains from mortgage banking totaled $24.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $17.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $7.2 million or 41%. Gains from mortgage banking activities reflect the fair value of loan origination fees, premiums or discounts on the sale of loans ("Loan Origination Revenue"), and the fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of the loans.

        Loan Origination Revenue increased to $10.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $5.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $4.9 million or 89% and were primarily attributable to an increase in origination volume and higher fees as a percentage of loan volume. Origination volumes increased to $741 million in 2012, as compared to $510 million in 2011, an increase of $231 million, or 45%. CWCapital's origination fees as a percentage of loan origination volumes increased to 141 basis points in 2012 from 109 basis points in 2011, a 29% increase.

        The fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of CWCapital's loans originated totaled $14.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $12.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $2.2 million or 18%. The increase was primarily attributable to the aforementioned increase in origination volumes.

        Servicing Fees.    Servicing fees totaled $7.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $5.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $2.7 million or 54%. The increase in servicing fees was primarily attributable to a 34% increase in the servicing portfolio to $17.1 billion at March 31, 2012 from $12.8 billion at March 31, 2011, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average servicing fee rate to 17.5 basis points at March 31, 2012 from 14.4 basis points at March 31, 2011, a 22% increase. The higher weighted-average servicing fee reflects an increase in the servicing fee rates received for new GSE and HUD loans.

        Net Warehouse Interest Income.    Net warehouse interest income totaled $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $0.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.2 million or 33%.

        The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to the increase in loan originations.

        Escrow Earnings and Other Interest Income.    Escrow earnings and other interest income totaled $0.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $0.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.1 million or 20%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the rate earned on certain escrow balances.

        Other Revenue.    Other revenue totaled $1.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.4 million or 50%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue recognized related to the sale of servicing rights.

Expenses

        Compensation Expense.    Compensation expense totaled $12.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $9.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $3.4 million or 38%. The increase in compensation expense was primarily attributable to the additional headcount associated with the growth in CWCapital's loan origination and servicing portfolio. In addition, the increased compensation expense reflects increased compensation to CWCapital's loan production team resulting from the increase in loan origination volumes, and related fee income, period over period. Compensation expense, as a percentage of total revenue, decreased to 35% in 2012, as compared to 36% in 2011.

        Fair Value Adjustments—MSRs, amortization and depreciation.    Fair value adjustments—MSRs, amortization, and depreciation totaled $13.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $3.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $9.5 million. The increase in fair value adjustments—MSRs from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the impact of the interest rate environment. With long-term commercial mortgage interest rates at historical lows, CWCapital experienced a significant increase in prepayments on its HUD loans. This directly affects the duration of CWCapital's mortgage servicing portfolio. As a result, at March 31, 2012, it increased the prepayment speed assumptions used to value its HUD MSR portfolio, reducing the estimated fair value of its MSR portfolio by approximately $7.0 million. The quarter ended March 31, 2012 additionally had a $2.9 million decrease related to future cash flows based on the LIBOR curve. The remaining change is generally reflective of normal amortization and run-off of the portfolio.

        Provision for Risk-Sharing Obligations.    Provision for risk-sharing obligations recorded a benefit of $1.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to an expense of $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 a decrease of $1.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to the improved performance of specific assets in the risk-sharing portfolio causing a reversal of prior provisions.

        Other Operating Expenses.    Other operating expenses totaled $3.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $4.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 8%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower general and administrative costs.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Four Months Ended December 31, 2010 (Successor)

        Comparability of the Successor's December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 results of operations is significantly affected by the length of the periods presented (i.e. the Successor's December 31, 2010 results of operations are for a four-month period, compared to a twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011).

Revenues

        Gains from Mortgage Banking.    Gains from mortgage banking totaled $102.5 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $47.7 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $54.8 million or 115%. This increase was primarily attributable to the eight month difference between periods. Gains reflect the fair value of Loan Origination Revenue, and the fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of the loan.

        Loan Origination Revenue increased to $55.8 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $23.7 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $32.1 million. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in origination volume. Origination volumes increased to $3.7 billion million in 2011 as compared to $1.6 billion in 2010, an increase of $2.1 billion or 131%. This increase was primarily attributable to the eight month difference between periods. CWCapital's origination fees as a percentage of origination volumes increased to 152 basis points in 2011 from 151 basis points in 2010, a 1% increase.

        The fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of the loan totaled $46.6 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $24.0 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, a 94% increase. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in origination volumes described above.

        Servicing Fees.    Servicing fees totaled $22.9 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $6.2 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $16.7 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the eight month difference between periods. The servicing portfolio increased 31% to $16.6 billion at December 31, 2011 from $12.7 billion at December 31, 2010 and the weighted-average servicing fee rate increased to 17.1 basis points at December 31, 2011 as compared to 13.8 basis points at December 31, 2010, an increase of 24% increase. The higher weighted-average servicing fee reflects an increase in the servicing fee rates received for new GSE and HUD loans.

        Net Warehouse Interest Income.    Net warehouse interest income totaled $2.9 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $0.9 million for the four-month period ended

Table of Contents

December 31, 2010, an increase of $2.0 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in loan originations due to the additional eight months.

        Escrow Earnings and Other Interest Income.    Escrow earnings and other interest income totaled $1.7 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $0.7 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.0 million or 143%. This increase was primarily attributable to the eight month difference between periods, as well as a decrease in the short-term interest rate environment impacting the interest earned on escrow balances.

        Other Revenue.    Other revenue totaled $3.7 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $0.6 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $3.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sale of certain Freddie Mac servicing rights revenue.

Expenses

        Compensation Expense.    Compensation expense totaled $48.4 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $15.1 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $33.3 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the eight month difference between periods. Compensation expense, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to 36% in 2011 as compared to 27% in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in deferred costs.

        Fair Value Adjustments—MSRs, amortization and depreciation.    Fair value adjustments—MSRs, amortization and depreciation totaled $40.3 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1.0 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $39.3 million. This increase was primarily due to changes of $24.8 million related to future escrow earnings driven by the change in the LIBOR curve between the periods, $2.5 million due to prepayment assumption changes and the remainder primarily due to run-off from the portfolio over twelve-months versus four-months.

        Provision for Risk-Sharing Obligations.    Provision for risk-sharing obligations was $1.7 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to zero for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to the performance of specific assets in the risk-sharing portfolio.

        Other Operating Expenses.    Other operating expenses totaled $17.4 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $5.6 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $11.8 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the eight month difference between periods.

Nine Months Ended August 31, 2010 Compared to Twelve Months Ended November 30, 2009 (Predecessor)

        Comparability of the Predecessor's August 31, 2010 and November 30, 2009 results of operations is significantly affected by 1) the change in accounting policy and 2) the length of the periods presented

(i.e. the Predecessor's November 30, 2009 results of operations are for a twelve-month period, compared to a nine-month period ended August 31, 2010).

Revenues

        Gains from Mortgage Banking.    Gains from mortgage banking totaled $37.0 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $29.4 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $7.6 million, or 26%. Gains from mortgage banking reflect the fair value of Loan Origination Revenue, and the fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of the loan. Effective December 1, 2009, CWCapital changed its accounting policy to recognize the fair value of rate locks, commitments to sell securities and commitments to sell loans at inception, which includes the fair value of all future cash flows.

        Loan Origination Revenue increased to $21.9 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $13.8 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $8.1 million, which is primarily attributable to higher origination related fees, 167 basis points in the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010 as compared to 106 basis points in the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, a 58% increase. Origination volumes totaled $1.2 billion for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $1.3 billion for the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2009.

        The fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with the servicing of the loans totaled $15.1 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $15.6 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, a 3% decrease. The decrease was primarily attributable to an 8% reduction in origination volumes period over period.

        Servicing Fees.    Servicing fees totaled $11.7 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $13.9 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 16%. The decrease in servicing fees was primarily attributable to the three month difference between the periods. The servicing portfolio increased 2% to $11.6 billion at August 31, 2010 from $11.4 billion at November 30, 2009, and the weighted-average servicing fee rate increased to 11.8 basis points at August 31, 2010 from 11.1 basis points at November 30, 2009, an increase of 6%. The higher weighted-average servicing fee reflected an increase in the servicing fee rates received for new GSE and HUD loans.

        Net Warehouse Interest Income.    Net warehouse interest income totaled $0.7 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $2.5 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 72%. Interest income was higher for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2009 due to the certain special purpose entity ("SPE") assets which were sold in April 2010 and therefore were not recorded for the full nine-month period ended August 31, 2010. The SPEs were related to the prior business of CWCapital of originating loans into conduits. CWCapital has not warehoused any new conduit loans since 2007.

        Escrow Earnings and Other Interest Income.    Escrow earnings and other interest income totaled $1.4 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $1.1 million for the

twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $0.3 million or 27%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the rate earned on certain escrow balances.

        Other Revenue.    Other revenue was $1.6 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $1.2 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $0.4 million, or 33%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue related to ARA.

Expenses

        Compensation Expense.    Compensation expense totaled $20.6 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $17.3 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $3.3 million, or 19%. The increase in compensation expense was primarily attributable to the increased fees and premiums and therefore increased commission and bonus payments to CWCapital employees. Compensation expense, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 39% for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, from 36% for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009.

        Fair Value Adjustments—MSRs, amortization and depreciation.    MSRs amortization and depreciation totaled $11.1 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $12.1 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.0 million or 8%. For the periods compared, MSRs were accounted for using the amortized cost basis of accounting. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in loan payoffs and the effects of a nine-month period compared to a twelve-month period. In subsequent periods, CWCapital used the fair value method to record its MSRs.

        Provision for Risk-Sharing Obligations.    Provision for risk-sharing obligations totaled $3.0 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $1.6 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, an increase of $1.4 million, or 88%. This increase was primarily attributable to the performance of specific assets in the risk-sharing portfolio.

        Other Operating Expenses.    Other operating expenses totaled $22.1 million for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2010, as compared to $37.1 million for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2009, a decrease of $15 million, or 40%. The decrease was primarily attributable to losses on the SPE assets and the three month difference in periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        CWCapital's cash flows from operations are generated from fees received from loan originations and sales, primary servicing fees, placement fees, interest income and other income, net of operating costs. Cash flows from operations are impacted by the timing of loan closings and the period of time loans are held for sale in the warehouse.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

        CWCapital's investing activities include the investment in ARA, investments obtained in the Citigroup Portfolio transaction and purchases of MSRs.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

        CWCapital uses its warehouse facilities to fund loan closings. CWCapital believes that its current warehouse facilities are adequate to meet its increasing loan origination needs. CWCapital also distributes excess cash flow to CW Financial in the form of cash distributions.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2012 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2011

        CWCapital's unrestricted cash balance totaled $24.2 million and $25.2 million as of March 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively, a $1.0 million increase, or 4% decrease.

        Changes in cash flows from operations were driven primarily by loans acquired and sold. Such loans are held for short periods of time, generally less than 45 days, and impact cash flows presented as of a point in time. Cash provided by operating activities was $436.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash provided by operations of $124.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The increase in cash flows provided by operations in 2012 was primarily attributable to the receipt of $438.5 million from funding loan originations, net of sales of loans to third parties, compared to $132.4 million to fund loan originations, net of sales of loans to third parties in 2011. Remaining cash used by operations totaled $2.2 million and $8.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        CWCapital received $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively, from investments in subordinate notes obtained in the Citigroup Portfolio transaction and ARA.

        Cash flows used in financing activities was $434.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $131.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The change was due to net repayments of CWCapital's warehouse facilities exceeding the prior period.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011 compared to Four Months Ended December 31, 2010 (Successor)

        CWCapital's unrestricted cash balance totaled $21.8 million and $32.8 million as of December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively, an $11.0 million decrease, or 34%.

        Cash used by operating activities was $459.2 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, compared to cash used in operations of $135.2 million for the four month period ended December 31, 2010. The increase in cash flows used by operations in 2011 was primarily attributable to $466.7 million to fund loan originations, net of sales of loans to third parties, compared to $150.1 million to fund loan originations, net of sales of loans to third parties in the four-month period ended December 31, 2010. Remaining cash flows from operations were $7.5 million and $14.9 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011 and the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

        CWCapital received $0.1 million of cash during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to distributions from ARA exceeding its cost to acquire the Citgroup loan portfolio. During the four-month period ended December 31, 2010, CWCapital used $0.3 million of cash in connection with an increase in its restricted cash partially offset by distributions from ARA.

        Cash provided by financing activities was $448.1 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011 compared to $142.8 million for the four-month period ended December 31, 2010. The change was due to net borrowings of CWCapital's warehouse facilities exceeding the prior period.

Uses of Liquidity, Cash and Cash Equivalents

        CWCapital's cash flow requirements consist of (i) short-term liquidity necessary to fund mortgage loans, and (ii) working capital to support its day-to-day operations, including servicer advances consisting of principal and interest advances for Fannie Mae, HUD and master serviced loans that become delinquent and advances on insurance and tax payments if the escrow funds are insufficient.

        CWCapital also requires working capital to satisfy collateral requirements for its Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing obligations and to meet the operational liquidity requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, Ginnie Mae and its warehouse facility lenders.

        Fannie Mae has indicated that it will be increasing its collateral requirements for certain loans. Congress and other governmental authorities have also suggested that lenders will be required to retain on their balance sheet a portion of the loans that they originate, although no such regulation has yet been implemented. In either scenario, CWCapital would require additional liquidity to support the increased collateral requirements.

        Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy, and reserves the right to terminate CWCapital's servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio, if at any time it determines that CWCapital's financial condition is not adequate to support its obligations under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement. CWCapital is required to maintain acceptable net worth as defined in the standards, and CWCapital satisfied the requirements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk-sharing. At December 31, 2011, the net worth requirement was $28.3 million and CWCapital's net worth was $149.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, CWCapital was required to maintain at least $3.9 million of liquid assets to meet its operational liquidity requirements for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, Ginnie Mae and CWCapital's warehouse facility lenders. As of December 31, 2011, CWCapital had operational liquidity of $21.8 million.

        Historically, CWCapital's cash flows from operations have been sufficient to enable it to meet its short-term liquidity needs and other funding requirements. Similarly, CWCapital believes that cash flows from operations should be sufficient for it to meet its current obligations for the next 12 months.

Restricted Cash

        CWCapital is generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program (the DUS risk-sharing obligation). CWCapital is required to secure this obligation by assigning restricted cash balances and securities to Fannie Mae. Restricted cash consists primarily of this collateral required by Fannie Mae. The amount of collateral required by Fannie Mae is a formulaic calculation at the loan level and considers the balance of the loan, the risk level of the loan, the age of the loan and the level of risk-sharing. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CWCapital had pledged cash and cash and a letter of credit, respectively, to collateralize its Fannie Mae DUS risk-sharing obligations of $22.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, all of which were in excess of current requirements. At December 31, 2011, CWCapital had cash of $22.5 million posted with the custodial agent for the Fannie Mae Lender Reserve pursuant to its loss sharing obligations with Fannie Mae, of which $16 million and $6.5 million relate to the Citigroup Loan Portfolio and General Loan Portfolio (as defined below under "Risk-Share Liability"), respectively. At December 31, 2011, CWCapital had cash of $1.2 million posted with the custodial agent for the Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Reserve pursuant to its loss sharing obligations with Freddie Mac. As of March 31, 2012, CWCapital had pledged cash and securities in excess of these requirements. Also, under the provisions of its Fannie Mae DUS agreement, CWCapital must maintain a certain level of liquid assets referred to as the operational and unrestricted portions of the required reserves each year. These requirements were satisfied by CWCapital as of March 31, 2012.

        In 2010, Fannie Mae increased its collateral requirements for Tier II loans by approximately 25 basis points effective April 1, 2011. Based on CWCapital's aggregate Fannie Mae portfolio as of March 31, 2012, the total incremental collateral required for all existing loans over the life of the portfolio, in accordance with Fannie Mae requirements, is expected to be approximately $6.9 million. In January 2012, Fannie Mae notified its Multifamily DUS lenders that collateral requirements on Fannie Mae Tier II, III and IV loans will remain unchanged for 2012. However, collateral requirements for existing and new Fannie Mae Tier I loans will increase from 50 basis points to 90 basis points and that Level 2 and Level 3 loss sharing requirements will increase. CWCapital currently has no loans in its portfolio which will be affected by the announced collateral changes and does not expect such changes will have a material impact on its future operations; however, future changes to collateral requirements may adversely impact CWCapital.

Sources of Liquidity: Warehouse Facilities

        To provide financing to borrowers under GSE and HUD programs, CWCapital has arranged for committed warehouse lines of credit, and has pledged substantially all of its loans held for sale. Notes payable at March 31, 2012, consist of the following (in thousands):

The fourth mortgage warehousing demand line of credit is $50 million and carries variable interest rate options, as defined in the line of credit agreement. On May 23, 2012, CWCapital increased its line of credit to $100 million. The mortgage warehousing line is available to fund advances under various mortgage programs. Security for the mortgage warehousing line of credit is the related MLHFS. The line matures November 17, 2012 under the lending agreement and routinely is extended annually. At March 31, 2012, the unused portion of the line of credit was $16.1 million.



•

The HUD servicing advance line of credit is $7.5 million, which is available for principal, interest, tax and insurance advances and other property protection advances on defaulted HUD loans. There is a sub-limit of $5 million for advances over 30 days. The line is secured by a pledge of the right to reimbursement from HUD and Ginnie Mae that is held by CWCapital and carries variable interest rate options, as defined in the line of credit agreement. The HUD servicing advance line of credit matures on October 1, 2012 and routinely is extended annually. At March 31, 2012, the unused portion of the line of credit was $7.5 million.

Risk-Share Liability

        Risk-Share Liability—CWCapital assumes risk-sharing obligations with respect to its General Loan Portfolio and Citigroup Loan Portfolio risk, as follows:

•

General Loan Portfolio—CWCapital assumes risk-sharing with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans, generally not exceeding 20% of the original principal balance. CWCapital assumes risk on the first 8% of losses on certain Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable loans. With respect to a certain Ginnie Mae securitized loan, CWCapital assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder. CWCapital records an estimated loss in the financial statements if it has been determined that it is probable that a liability will be incurred. Such estimate is recorded in risk-share liability on CWCapital's balance sheet.



•

Citigroup Loan Portfolio—CWCapital has risk on certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is limited to the first 1% of loss on a pool of loans (this risk is fully funded under a cash collateral agreement and the related cash is held in restricted cash). In addition, there are certain Fannie Mae loans where CWCapital's risk is 100% of the loss, and certain Fannie Mae loans where CWCapital's risk is pari passu with Fannie Mae on a one-third and two-thirds basis, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

        CWCapital does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

        CWCapital has contractual obligations to make future payments on notes payable and lease agreements. CWCapital also has deferred compensation agreements with certain employees.

New/Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        There were no accounting standards that were issued and required to be implemented that were not implemented that would have or are expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of CWCapital.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        CWCapital is not currently exposed to interest rate risk during the loan commitment, closing and delivery process. The sale or placement of each loan to an investor is negotiated prior to closing on the loan with the borrower, and the sale or placement is effectuated within 45 days of closing. The coupon rate for the loan is set after CWCapital has established the interest rate with the investor.

        Some of our assets and liabilities are subject to changes in interest rates. Escrow earnings are generally based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average 30-day LIBOR would increase or decrease, respectively, our annual earnings by approximately $4.2 million based on CWCapital's escrow balance as of March 31, 2012, compared to $4.0 million as of December 31, 2011. The borrowing cost of CWCapital's warehouse facilities are based on LIBOR. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average 30-day LIBOR would decrease or increase, respectively, CWCapital's annual net warehouse interest income by approximately $2.6 million based on CWCapital's outstanding warehouse balance as of March 31, 2012, compared to $7.0 million as of December 31, 2011.

        The fair value of CWCapital's MSRs is subject to market risk. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the weighted average discount rate would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of CWCapital's MSRs by approximately $4.0 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to $4.0 million as of December 31, 2011. A 200 basis point increase or decrease in the weighted average discount rate would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of CWCapital's MSRs by approximately $7.8 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to $8.0 million as of December 31, 2011.

        As of March 31, 2011, there has been no significant change to CWCapital's exposure to interest rate risk.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The following pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the respective historical statements of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital after giving effect to the Acquisition described below and elsewhere in this proxy statement and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the pro forma combined financial information.

        Walker & Dunlop's and CWCapital's respective fiscal years end on December 31. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 is based on the historical balance sheet of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital as of March 31, 2012, and has been prepared to reflect the Acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2012. The pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and for the interim period ended March 31, 2012, combine the historical results of operations of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the interim period ended March 31, 2012, as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011, the first day of each company's 2011 fiscal year.

        In preparing the pro forma financial information, certain pro forma adjustments were made to CWCapital's financial information to conform to Walker & Dunlop's financial statement presentation.

        On June 7, 2012, Walker & Dunlop, the Purchaser, CW Financial and CWCapital, entered into the Purchase Agreement, providing for the acquisition of CWCapital by the Purchaser. See "The Purchase Agreement" beginning on page 43.

        Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, CW Financial, as the sole owner of the limited liability company interest of CWCapital, will be entitled to receive aggregate consideration of $220 million, subject to certain adjustments, consisting of (i) a cash payment of $80 million, to be made through a combination of existing capital and debt financing anticipated to be obtained, and (ii) a non-cash payment equal to the Stock Consideration (as defined below). The "Stock Consideration" is expected to equal 11,647,255 shares of the Common Stock. To mitigate the risk to the Company and CW Financial associated with any potentially significant increase or decrease, respectively, in the price of the Common Stock between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing Date, the parties have agreed that the number of shares constituting the Stock Consideration will be fixed at 11,647,255 shares (and the Common Stock price at $12.02) within a "collar" of a 30 percent upward or downward fluctuation in the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock. However, if (a) the volume weighted average NYSE trading price of the Common Stock during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third trading day prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Share Value") is greater than $15.62 (i.e., more than 30 percent greater than $12.02), then the Stock Consideration will equal the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $182 million divided by the Closing Share Value, or (b) the Closing Share Value is less than $8.41 (i.e., more than 30 percent less than $12.02), then the Stock Consideration will equal the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $98 million divided by the Closing Share Value. The Stock Consideration's 30 percent-two-way collar may be illustrated as follows:

        Bank of America, N.A. has provided a commitment letter dated June 8, 2012, to amend or replace Walker & Dunlop's existing Term Loan Agreement, to provide for an increase in aggregate term loan borrowings to $83 million, the proceeds from which may be used for the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the existing Term Loan Agreement, to repay certain promissory notes outstanding to

predecessor shareholders and to be used for the purposes of the Acquisition. For a description of the Commitment Letter, refer to "The Financing" on page 66.

        The Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, will result in the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. Walker & Dunlop has made significant estimates and assumptions in determining the preliminary allocation of the purchase price in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, with the excess of the purchase price over the sum of these fair values recorded as goodwill. The fair value of certain assets, particularly the mortgage pipeline intangible asset, representing the expected value of all mortgage opportunities being evaluated and applications being processed by CWCapital at any given time, is expected to change significantly based upon the nature of the business and passage of time. These assumptions and estimates, some of which cannot be finalized until the consummation of the Acquisition, will be revised as additional information becomes available upon consummation of the Acquisition and finalization of the valuation of CWCapital's assets and liabilities. The final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities of CWCapital as of the closing date of the Acquisition. Accordingly, the final allocations of and the effects on the results of operations may differ materially from the preliminary allocations and unaudited pro forma combined amounts included herein.

        The pro forma condensed combined financial information herein does not give effect to any potential cost reductions or other operating efficiencies that could result from the Acquisition, including but not limited to, those associated with potential (i) reductions of corporate overhead, (ii) elimination of duplicate functions and (iii) increased operational efficiencies through the adoption of best practices and capabilities from each company. The pro forma combined financial information is not intended to represent what Walker & Dunlop's financial position or results of operation would actually have been if the Acquisition had occurred on the dates presented. The pro forma combined statements of income have not been adjusted for the charges related to the transaction costs because these costs are attributable to the transaction but will not have a continuing impact.

        The pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with (i) Walker & Dunlop's historical consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Walker & Dunlop's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, and (ii) CWCapital's historical audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, and unaudited interim financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2012, both of which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Combined Pro Forma Adjustments

These adjustments give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and are subject to change upon completion of the final purchase price allocation following the Acquisition closing date. Walker & Dunlop's and

Table of Contents

CWCapital's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") based on Walker & Dunlop's preliminary analysis. The accounting policies of Walker & Dunlop and CWCapital are substantially comparable, but an accounting policy conformance adjustment has been made to the pro forma condensed combined financial information for differing but acceptable applications of GAAP related to the presentation of the guaranty obligation (gross asset and liability versus net presentation).

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2012

A)

To reflect the planned financing and cash consideration payment of $80 million upon consummation of the Acquisition, as well as a $7.5 million increase to the cash consideration pursuant to the terms of the excess working capital adjustment outlined in the Purchase Agreement, as of March 31, 2012. The level of working capital held by CWCapital is expected to fluctuate significantly and is expected to more closely approximate the target working capital, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, at the time of the Acquisition closing. Additionally, in conjunction with the closing of the Acquisition, we plan to repay our existing term debt with proceeds obtained through the Commitment Letter, increasing the total term debt outstanding at the close of the Acquisition to $83 million.



B)

To reflect the gross presentation of the guaranty obligation associated with Fannie Mae DUS loans with risk-sharing obligations. CWCapital historically recorded the guaranty obligation as a component of the fair value of the associated mortgage servicing right ("MSR") resulting in a net MSR presentation; however, Walker & Dunlop records and presents the MSR and the guaranty obligation as an asset and a liability, respectively. The adjustment reflects the manner in which the MSRs and guaranty obligation will be presented following the consummation of the Acquisition.



C)

To reflect the value of the Common Stock to be issued to CW Financial as partial consideration ($140 million, based upon the preliminary purchase price consideration) and the elimination of CWCapital's member's net equity balances.



D)

To reflect the preliminary purchase price allocation recognition of certain intangible assets and liabilities—above market lease liability, below market lease asset and a mortgage pipeline asset. The above and below market lease asset and liability reflect our estimation of the fair value of certain leases that will be assumed upon closing of the Acquisition and, upon closing, are expected to be amortized over the remaining lives of the respective leases. The mortgage pipeline asset recognized reflects the estimated fair value of the origination related fees and MSRs related to the loan applications and leads currently being processed by CWCapital. Due to the short lifecycle from application through rate lock, loan funding and subsequent sale, significant fluctuation is expected in the underlying application pipeline, and as a result, the value attributed to this asset at consummation of the Acquisition and final purchase price allocation may differ materially from the estimate provided herein.



E)

To reflect the adjustment to values of certain intangible, prepaid and other assets based upon estimated fair value in the business combination.



F)

To reflect the establishment of goodwill of $75.2 million estimated as a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation detailed below.

1)

To reflect the additional interest expense associated with the financing expected to be obtained pursuant to the Commitment Letter, as if the $83 million aggregate borrowings had been outstanding as of January 1, 2011 under the terms of the Commitment Letter. The pro forma adjustment depicts the increased interest expense costs in excess of Walker & Dunlop's interest expense related to the term debt, which we plan to repay at the close of the Acquisition.



2)

To reflect the provision for income taxes related to pro forma adjustments included in the pro forma combined statements of income at Walker & Dunlop's effective combined income tax rate. No provision has been made in CWCapital's financial statements for federal income taxes as CWCapital is a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes and its results are included in Galaxy's tax filings with the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, the tax obligation has been reflected on Galaxy's financial statements. Following the closing of the Acquisition, all

Preliminary Purchase Price Consideration

        The pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the effects of the Acquisition for an aggregate preliminary purchase price consideration of $220 million, as calculated below (in thousands):

Basis of Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

        The following allocation of the Acquisition purchase price is based on Walker & Dunlop's preliminary estimates of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of CWCapital as of March 31, 2012. The final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Acquisition and will be completed after the Acquisition is consummated. Such final determination of the purchase price allocation is expected to be different that the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma combined financial information.

        The preliminary estimated purchase price of CWCapital (as calculated in the manner described above) is allocated to the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed on the following preliminary basis (in thousands):

PROPOSAL 2:
PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL: AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY'S 2010 EQUITY
INCENTIVE PLAN AND RE-APPROVAL OF MATERIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
RELATING TO PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION

        We are asking our stockholders to approve amendments (the "Amendments") to Sections 2.18, 4.1, 5.2, 6.2 and 14.6.4 of the Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the "Amended Equity Incentive Plan") and to re-approve certain material terms and conditions relating to performance-based compensation under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. If approved by our stockholders, the Amendments would:

(i)

increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 3,370,000 shares;



(ii)

change the individual limits to (A) 600,000 shares for grants of stock options and SARs in any single calendar year, (B) 600,000 shares for awards other than stock options and SARs in any single calendar year, (C) three million dollars ($3,000,000) for the maximum amount that may be earned as an annual incentive award or other cash award in any calendar year in respect of performance, and (D) seven million dollars ($7,000,000) for the maximum amount that may be earned as a performance award or other cash award in any calendar year in respect of performance;



(iii)

add additional performance measures that may be used as performance goals; and



(iv)

extend the termination date of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan until the tenth anniversary of the Special Meeting.

        In addition, we are asking that our stockholders approve the material terms and conditions for performance-based compensation intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code") included in the Equity Incentive Plan, as supplemented by the additional performance measures to be adopted pursuant to the Amendments. The material terms and conditions of performance-based compensation are (i) eligibility for awards, (ii) individual grant limits on awards and (iii) the performance measures that can be used as performance goals for awards, each as described further below under "Re-approval of 162(m) Material Terms and Conditions" (together, the "Performance Terms").

        Furthermore, the Board has made certain other amendments and clarifying changes to the Equity Incentive Plan, which do not require approval by our stockholders, including clarifying that for any purpose under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, other than for the determination of grant date fair market value, which is the closing price on the stock exchange for the grant date, any reasonable method for determining fair market value can be applied.

        The Board approved the Amendments on June 29, 2012, subject to approval from our stockholders at the Special Meeting. The purpose of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan is to (i) provide incentives to eligible persons to stimulate their efforts towards the success of the Company and to operate and manage its business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; and (ii) provide a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel. To this end, the Amended Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units (including deferred stock units), dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards.

        If the stockholders approve the Amendments, they will become effective on the date of the Special Meeting, which is scheduled to be [                    ], 2012. If the stockholders fail to approve the Amendments, the Equity Incentive Plan will remain as is without any changes thereto. If the stockholders re-approve the Performance Terms, compensation paid to the Company's covered employees upon achievement of goals under one or more of the performance measures set forth in the Amended Equity Incentive Plan will continue to be fully deductible by the Company under

100

---

Table of Contents

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code until such time as the Company is required to obtain stockholder re-approval of such terms and conditions at the Company's annual stockholders' meeting in 2017. If the stockholders fail to re-approve the Performance Terms, the Compensation Committee will be permitted to continue granting performance awards using the performance goals set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan, but stockholder re-approval would be required at the Company's annual stockholders' meeting in 2014 for any such compensation to remain fully deductible.

        On July 3, 2012, the closing price of our Common Stock was $12.86 per share, and there were five named executive officers, six non-employee directors and 226 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who were eligible to participate in the Amended Equity Incentive Plan.

Amendment of Equity Incentive Plan

Increase in Number of Shares; Increase in Individual Limits

        The Amendments will increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan by 3,370,000 shares from 2,140,000 shares. As of July 3, 2012, there were 1,589,981 shares of our Common Stock subject to outstanding grants and 517,411 shares available for future grants under the Equity Incentive Plan. Included in the number of shares subject to outstanding grants are 512,968 shares subject to options with a weighted average exercise price of $12.83 and a weighted average remaining term of 9.4 years, and 1,077,513 shares of restricted stock.

        The Amendments will increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to options or stock appreciation rights that can be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan to any person to 600,000 shares reserved under the Equity Incentive Plan in any single calendar year. The Amendments will also increase the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan to any person other than pursuant to an option or stock appreciation right to 600,000 shares reserved under the Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum amount that may be earned as an annual incentive award or other cash award in any calendar year by any one person is three million dollars ($3,000,000) and the maximum amount that may be earned as a performance award or other cash award in respect of a performance period by any one person is seven million dollars ($7,000,000).

        In the judgment of the Board and the Compensation Committee, grants under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan are valuable incentives and serve the ultimate benefit of stockholders by aligning more closely the interests of Amended Equity Incentive Plan participants with those of our stockholders. In particular, with the acquisition of CWCapital and the resulting increase in the number of employees, including high-performing origination talent, the Board and the Compensation Committee believe that it is necessary to increase the number of shares authorized under the Equity Incentive Plan to enable the Company to continue appropriately incentivizing new and existing employees.

Addition of Performance Measures

        As part of our executive compensation philosophy, we strive to create and emphasize a pay-for-performance culture to drive the creation of stockholder value, not only for our named executive officers but for all employees more broadly. Accordingly, we pay performance-based compensation, utilizing various performance measures designed to support the achievement of certain key goals of the Company. These performance measures are reflected, in part, in the Company's Equity Incentive Plan. Performance-based compensation is excluded from certain limitations on deductions for federal income tax purposes under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) limits publicly-held companies such as the Company to an annual deduction for federal income tax purposes of $1 million for compensation paid to their covered employees. However, performance-based compensation is excluded from this limitation if such compensation is based on performance measures approved by the Company's stockholders. The "covered employees" are the chief executive officer and

101

---

Table of Contents

three next most highly compensated executive officers, other than the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer.

        In the judgment of the Board and Compensation Committee, the availability of additional performance measures would help the Company better align employee incentives with Company goals. Accordingly, the Amendments add or amend subsections (h), (i), (o), (p), (u), (y), (z) and (aa) to the list of performance measures, as set forth below. Accordingly, under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, the performance goals upon which the payment or vesting of a performance or incentive award to a covered employee that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code will be limited to the following performance measures, with or without adjustment (the "Performance Measures"):

(a)

net earnings or net income;



(b)

operating earnings;



(c)

pretax earnings;



(d)

earnings per share of stock;



(e)

stock price, including growth measures and total stockholder return;



(f)

earnings before interest and taxes;



(g)

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization;



(h)

sales, originations or revenue growth, whether in general, by type of product or service, or by type of customer;



(i)

diversification of sales or revenues by type of product or service, or by type of customer;



(j)

gross or operating margins;



(k)

return measures, including return on assets, capital, investment, equity, sales or revenue;



(l)

cash flow, including operating cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on equity and cash flow return on investment;



(m)

productivity ratios;



(n)

expense targets;



(o)

underwriting cost per loan;



(p)

credit losses;



(q)

market share;



(r)

financial ratios as provided in credit agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries;

development of new lines of business or substantially expanding existing lines of business;



(v)

completion of divestitures and asset sales;

(z)

employee satisfaction;

(bb)

any combination of any of the foregoing business criteria.


Extension of Termination Date

        The Amendments will extend the termination date of the Equity Incentive Plan from December 13, 2020 to the tenth anniversary of the Special Meeting. Upon termination, the Amended Equity Incentive Plan will continue to govern unexpired awards.

Re-approval of 162(m) Material Terms and Conditions

        One of the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code is that the material terms and conditions of performance-based compensation pursuant to Section 162(m) must be approved by stockholders, and re-approved at five-year intervals. Accordingly, our stockholders previously approved the Equity Incentive Plan, which includes the material terms and conditions for granting performance awards, including awards intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The material terms and conditions of the Company's performance-based compensation under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the Performance Terms, are: (i) eligibility for awards, (ii) individual grant limits on awards and (iii) the Performance Measures. See "Amendment to Equity Incentive Plan—Addition of Performance Measures" for a description of Performance Measures under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. We are asking stockholders to re-approve the Performance Terms at the Special Meeting so that the Company will not be required to seek re-approval until 2017.

        Any Performance Measure may be used to measure the performance of the Company, subsidiary, and/or affiliate as a whole or any business unit of the Company, subsidiary, and/or affiliate or any combination thereof. Any of the Performance Measures may also be compared to the performance of a group of comparator companies, published or special index or stock market indices.

        The maximum number of shares of Common Stock, other equity or cash that may be awarded under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan is described under "Description of the Plan—Share Authorization."

Our Recommendation

        THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN AND TO RE-APPROVE MATERIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATING TO PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION.

Vote Required

        The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present and entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary for approval of the Amendments and the Performance Terms. For purposes of the vote on this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will not count as votes cast with respect to a proposal, and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Description of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan

        A description of the provisions of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed provisions of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Annex H to this proxy statement and incorporated by reference herein.

Table of Contents

        Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits publicly held companies to an annual deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $1,000,000 for compensation paid to each of their chief executive officer and their three next most highly compensated executive officers (other than the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer) determined at the end of each year, referred to as covered employees. However, performance-based compensation is excluded from this limitation. The Amended Equity Incentive Plan is designed to permit the Compensation Committee to grant awards that qualify as performance-based for purposes of satisfying the conditions of Section 162(m), but it is not required under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan that awards qualify for this exception.

        Administration of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan.    The Amended Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee will determine all terms of awards granted to our executive officers under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. Our Compensation Committee will also determine the type of award and its terms and conditions and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the award, if the award is equity-based. The Board has established a special one-member committee of the Board (the "Non-Executive Equity Award Committee"), which currently consists of Mr. Walker, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and delegated to that committee limited authority to grant equity awards to non-executive officers and non-director employees pursuant to the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. As of July 3, 2012, those grants may not exceed the 517,411 shares currently available under the Equity Incentive Plan and 300,000 shares to be added to the Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the Amendments, for a total of 817,411 shares. The special one-member Non-Executive Equity Award Committee's authority does not in any way limit the Compensation Committee's authority to administer the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee will also interpret the provisions of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. To the extent permissible under law, the Board may delegate to the Non-Executive Equity Award Committee or other committee authority to make additional grants to non-executive employees. During any period of time in which we do not have a Compensation Committee, the Amended Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our Board or another committee appointed by the Board. References below to the Compensation Committee include a reference to the Board or another committee appointed by the Board for those periods in which the Board or such other committee appointed by the Board is acting.

        Eligibility.    All of our employees and the employees of our subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, our non-employee directors and consultants and advisors who perform services for us and our subsidiaries and affiliates may receive awards under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, other than incentive stock options. Each member of our Compensation Committee that administers the Amended Equity Incentive Plan will be both a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

        Share Authorization.    Under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, we will have reserved 5,510,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 3,887,411 shares will be available for future issuance, based on the number of shares issued and outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan as of July 3, 2012. In connection with stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and certain other events, our board will make proportionate adjustments that it deems appropriate in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan and the terms of outstanding awards. If any options or stock appreciation rights terminate, expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered without having been exercised or paid or if any stock awards, performance shares, performance units or other equity-based awards are forfeited or expire or otherwise terminate without the delivery of any shares of Common Stock or are settled in cash, the shares of Common Stock subject to such awards will again be available for purposes of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan.

        The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to options or stock appreciation rights that can be issued under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan to any person is 600,000 shares reserved under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares that can be issued under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan to any person other than pursuant to an option or stock appreciation right is 600,000 shares reserved under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum amount that may be earned as an annual incentive award or other cash award in any calendar year by any one person is three million dollars ($3,000,000) and the maximum amount that may be earned as a performance award or other cash award in respect of a performance period by any one person is seven million dollars ($7,000,000).

        Options.    The Amended Equity Incentive Plan authorizes our Compensation Committee to grant incentive stock options (under Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code) and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options. The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Compensation Committee, provided that the price will be equal to at least the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date on which the option is granted. If we were to grant incentive stock options to any 10 percent stockholder, the exercise price may not be less than 110 percent of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

        The term of an option cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant. If we were to grant incentive stock options to any 10 percent stockholder, the term cannot exceed five years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee determines at what time or times each option may be exercised and the period of time, if any, after retirement, death, disability or termination of employment during which options may be exercised. Options may be made exercisable in installments. The exercisability of options may be accelerated by the Compensation Committee. The exercise price of an option may not be amended or modified after the grant of the option, and an option may not be surrendered in consideration of or exchanged for a grant of a new option having an exercise price below that of the option which was surrendered or exchanged without stockholder approval.

        The exercise price for any option or the purchase price for restricted stock is generally payable (i) in cash, (ii) by certified check, (iii) to the extent the award agreement provides, by the surrender of shares of Common Stock (or attestation of ownership of shares of Common Stock) with an aggregate fair market value on the date on which the option is exercised, of the exercise price, or (iv) to the extent the award agreement provides, by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures established by the Federal Reserve.

        Stock Awards.    The Amended Equity Incentive Plan also provides for the grant of stock awards (which includes restricted stock and stock units). A stock award is an award of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as our Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion on the date of grant. The restrictions, if any, may lapse over a specified period of time or through the satisfaction of conditions, in installments or otherwise, as our Compensation Committee may determine. A participant who receives a stock award will have all of the rights of a stockholder as to those shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or distributions on the shares, except that the Board may require any dividends to be reinvested in shares. During the period, if any, when stock awards are non-transferable or forfeitable, a participant is prohibited from selling, transferring, assigning, pledging or otherwise encumbering or disposing of his or her award shares. We will retain custody of the certificates and a participant must deliver a stock power to us for each stock award.

        Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Amended Equity Incentive Plan authorizes our Compensation Committee to grant stock appreciation rights that provide the recipient with the right to receive, upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of the two. The amount that the recipient will receive upon exercise of the stock appreciation right generally will equal the excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of exercise over the shares'

fair market value on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights will become exercisable in accordance with terms determined by our Compensation Committee. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in tandem with an option grant or independently from an option grant. The term of a stock appreciation right cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant.

        Performance Units.    The Amended Equity Incentive Plan also authorizes our Compensation Committee to grant performance units. Performance units represent the participant's right to receive a compensation amount, based on the value of the shares of Common Stock, if performance goals established by the Compensation Committee are met. Our Compensation Committee will determine the applicable performance period, the performance goals and such other conditions that apply to the performance unit. Performance goals may relate to our financial performance or the financial performance of our operating units, the participant's performance or such other criteria determined by the Compensation Committee. If the performance goals are met, performance units will be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of the two.

        Bonuses.    Cash performance bonuses payable under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan may be based on the attainment of performance goals that are established by the Compensation Committee and relate to one or more performance criteria described in the plan. Cash performance bonuses, for which there is no minimum, must be based upon objectively determinable bonus formulas established in accordance with the plan, as determined by the Board.

        Dividend Equivalents.    Our Compensation Committee may grant dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of any equity-based award. Dividend equivalents may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents, and may be payable in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of the two. Our Compensation Committee will determine the terms of any dividend equivalents.

        Other Equity-Based Awards.    Our Compensation Committee may grant other types of equity-based awards under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. Other equity-based awards are payable in cash, shares of Common Stock or other equity, or a combination of the two, and may be restricted or unrestricted, as determined by our Compensation Committee. The terms and conditions that apply to other equity-based awards are determined by the Compensation Committee.

        Change in Control.    If we experience a change in control in which equity-based awards that are not exercised prior to the change in control will not be assumed or continued by the surviving entity, unless otherwise provided in an award: (i) all restricted stock will vest, and all stock units will vest and the underlying shares will be delivered immediately before the change in control, and (ii) at the Board's discretion either all options and stock appreciation rights will become exercisable 15 days before the change in control and terminate upon the consummation of the change in control, or all options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units will be cashed out before the change in control. In the case of performance units, if more than half of the performance period has lapsed, the performance shares will be converted into restricted stock based on actual performance to date. If less than half of the performance period has lapsed, or if actual performance is not determinable, the performance shares will be converted into restricted stock assuming target performance has been achieved.

        Amendment; Termination.    Our Board may amend or terminate the Amended Equity Incentive Plan at any time; provided that no amendment may adversely impair the benefits of participants with outstanding awards. Our stockholders must approve any amendment if such approval is required under applicable law or NYSE regulations. Our stockholders also must approve any amendment that changes the no re-pricing provisions of the plan. Unless terminated sooner by our Board or extended with stockholder approval, the Amended Equity Incentive Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Special Meeting.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

        Incentive Stock Options.    The grant of an option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or for the Company. A grantee will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of an incentive stock option (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and any gain realized upon a disposition of our common stock received pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option will be taxed as long-term capital gain if the grantee holds the shares of common stock for at least two years after the date of grant and for one year after the date of exercise (the "holding period requirement"). We will not be entitled to any business expense deduction with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option, except as discussed below.

        For the exercise of an option to qualify for the foregoing tax treatment, the grantee generally must be our employee or an employee of our subsidiary from the date the option is granted through a date within three months before the date of exercise of the option.

        If all of the foregoing requirements are met except the holding period requirement mentioned above, the grantee will recognize ordinary income upon the disposition of the common stock in an amount generally equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option was exercised over the option exercise price (but not in excess of the gain realized on the sale). The balance of the realized gain, if any, will be capital gain. We will be allowed a business expense deduction to the extent the grantee recognizes ordinary income, subject to our compliance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and to certain reporting requirements.

        Non-Qualified Options.    The grant of an option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or the Company. Upon exercising a non-qualified option, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified option, the grantee will have taxable capital gain or loss, measured by the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the tax basis of the shares of common stock (generally, the amount paid for the shares plus the amount treated as ordinary income at the time the option was exercised).

        If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

        A grantee who has transferred a non-qualified stock option to a family member by gift will realize taxable income at the time the non-qualified stock option is exercised by the family member. The grantee will be subject to withholding of income and employment taxes at that time. The family member's tax basis in the shares of common stock will be the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date the option is exercised. The transfer of vested non-qualified stock options will be treated as a completed gift for gift and estate tax purposes. Once the gift is completed, neither the transferred options nor the shares acquired on exercise of the transferred options will be includable in the grantee's estate for estate tax purposes.

        In the event a grantee transfers a non-qualified stock option to his or her ex-spouse incident to the grantee's divorce, neither the grantee nor the ex-spouse will recognize any taxable income at the time of the transfer. In general, a transfer is made "incident to divorce" if the transfer occurs within one year after the marriage ends or if it is related to the end of the marriage (for example, if the transfer is made pursuant to a divorce order or settlement agreement). Upon the subsequent exercise of such option by the ex-spouse, the ex-spouse will recognize taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise. Any distribution to the ex-spouse as a result of the exercise of the option will be subject to employment and income tax withholding at this time.

107

Table of Contents

        Restricted Stock.    A grantee who is awarded restricted stock will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes in the year of the award, provided that the shares of common stock are subject to restrictions (that is, the restricted stock are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). However, the grantee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to recognize compensation income in the year of the award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the award (less the purchase price, if any), determined without regard to the restrictions. If the grantee does not make such a Section 83(b) election, the fair market value of the common stock on the date the restrictions lapse (less the purchase price, if any) will be treated as compensation income to the grantee and will be taxable in the year the restrictions lapse and dividends paid while the common stock is subject to restrictions will be subject to withholding taxes. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

        Stock Units.    There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of stock units under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. A grantee who is awarded stock units will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of shares issued to such grantee at the end of the restriction period or, if later, the payment date. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

        Dividend Equivalent Rights.    Participants who receive dividend equivalent rights will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount distributed to the grantee pursuant to the award. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

        Stock Appreciation Rights.    There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of stock appreciation rights under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

        Performance Units.    The award of performance units will have no federal income tax consequences for us or for the grantee. The payment of the award is taxable to a grantee as ordinary income. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

        To the extent payments which are contingent on a change in control are determined to exceed certain Internal Revenue Code limitations, they may be subject to a 20% nondeductible excise tax and the Company's deduction with respect to the associated compensation expense may be disallowed in whole or in part.

New Awards

        The awards, if any, that will be made to eligible participants under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and thus we cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to awards that may be granted in the future to eligible participants under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, as proposed to be amended, and therefore no new plan benefits table can be provided at this time.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        These financial statements represent the condensed financial position, results of operations, changes in member's equity and cash flows of CWCapital LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, and a wholly owned operating subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC ("Parent"), a Delaware limited liability company. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we," "us," "our," "CWCapital" and the "Company" mean CWCapital LLC. The statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the 2011 audited financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals except as otherwise noted herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the Company in the interim periods presented have been included. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012, or thereafter.

        The Company commenced operations on September 9, 2002, and is in the business of originating, selling, and servicing commercial real estate mortgages.

        The Company is licensed as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") approved Title II Nonsupervised Mortgagee. The Company is also licensed by Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Presentation—The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Entities where the Company holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights are accounted for under the equity method, and the pro rata share of the income is included in other income on the Company's statement of income.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant use of estimates relates to valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, such as mortgage loans held for sale ("MLHFS"), mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), intangible assets, derivative assets and liabilities, risk share liability and certain compensation plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management considers to be of high quality; however, at times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit.

        Restricted Cash—Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage and includes amounts required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable is composed primarily of security delivery deposits, primary servicing advances and primary servicing fees. Security delivery deposits are collected upon settlement of the security with the investor. Such deposits are made to insure delivery of the security to the investor by the Company. Primary servicing advances are either applied against loss settlement (Fannie Mae), recovered through claims settlement (Ginnie Mae), or from reimbursement from the CMBS trust. Primary servicing fees are collected as monthly remittances are received from the borrower on the loan being serviced. For all of these receivables, collectability is not deemed to be a significant risk and no reserve has been established.

        MLHFS—MLHFS is composed of loans that have been originated by the Company and are held on balance sheet while awaiting sale. The Company elects the fair value option for MLHFS entered into at and after September 1, 2010. Fees and costs related to fair valued MLHFS are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.

        MLHFS where the Company has not elected the fair value option were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently have been accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value ("LOCOFV").

        MSRs—The Company is required to record a separate asset or liability initially measured at fair value for servicing rights relating to mortgages originated and sold where the servicing rights have been retained ("Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "OMSRs"). MSRs are recognized as assets upon the sale of the loans. The Company also records a separate asset at fair value when it purchases servicing rights ("Purchased Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "PMSRs"). Management determines its classes of servicing assets and servicing liabilities based on program type.

        The Company elected to measure and carry its MSRs using the fair value option. Under the fair value option, MSRs are carried on the Company's balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded in fair value adjustments—MSRs in the Company's statement of income.

        Intangible Assets—Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized until it is determined that the useful life is no longer indefinite. The Company reviews indefinite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is permanently recognized by writing down the asset to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it may be impaired.

        Derivatives—From time to time, the Company enters into certain transactions related to its mortgage banking activities that are considered to be derivatives, as follows:

•

Rate lock agreements ("rate locks") are contracts entered into that allow commercial mortgage customers to lock in the interest rate on a mortgage while the loan is being underwritten and awaiting closure. Rate locks are considered derivatives if the loans that will result from the exercise of the contract will be held for sale. The fair value of rate locks at inception includes the expected net future cash flows related to fees on the related loan including future MSRs. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.



•

Commitments to sell loans are considered derivatives and are entered into simultaneously with the rate lock of the related loan to offset adverse changes in the market between the time an investor enters into the purchase agreement and the time the loan or a security which wraps

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

around a loan is purchased (collectively, the "loan sale"). The fair value of these commitments at inception is zero. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

        Borrower Deposits—In the normal course of business, the Company receives cash from potential borrowers to pay expenses incurred during the loan origination process (i.e., legal, appraisal, engineering, environmental, etc.). Unused deposits generally are returned to the borrower at the time a loan is closed or at the time that an application for a loan is terminated. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance, as the deposit can be used to fund costs paid by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan. A corresponding liability is recognized in borrower deposits on the Company's balance sheet.

        Risk Share Liability—The Company has Citigroup Loan Portfolio and General Loan Portfolio risk, as follows:

•

Citigroup Loan Portfolio—The Company has risk on certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is limited to the first 1% of loss on a pool of loans (this risk is fully funded under a cash collateral agreement and the related cash is held in restricted cash). In addition, there are certain Fannie Mae loans where the Company's risk is 100% of the loss, and certain Fannie Mae loans where the Company's risk is pari passu with Fannie Mae on a one-third and two-thirds basis, respectively (collectively, "Citigroup Loan Portfolio").



•

General Loan Portfolio—The Company assumes risk sharing with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans, generally not exceeding 20% of the original principal balance. The Company assumes risk on the first 8% of losses on certain Freddie Mac target affordable loans and with respect to a certain GNMA securitized loan, the Company assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder (collectively, "General Loan Portfolio"). The Company records an estimated loss in the financial statements if it has been determined that it is probable that a liability will be incurred. Such estimate is recorded in risk share liability on the Company's balance sheet.

        Servicing Fees—Servicing fees primarily consist of primary servicing fees and placement fees for the deposit of escrows. The Company earns primary servicing fees in connection with the collection of monthly debt service payments. These fees are earned and collected monthly in accordance with each respective loan agreement. The Company earns placement fees for depositing escrow balances with third party financial institutions. These fees are earned and collected monthly through arrangements with third parties. All of these fees are recorded on a monthly basis when earned.

        Mortgage Banking Activities—Mortgage banking activity income is recognized when the Company originates a loan with a borrower (the rate lock). Also included in mortgage banking activities are changes to the fair value of MLHFS and derivatives that occur during their respective holding periods. Upon sale of the loans, no gains or losses are recognized as such loans are recorded at fair value during their holding periods.

        Interest Income—Interest income primarily is derived from interest earned from mortgages held for sale and interest earned from a loan and bonds held for investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and recorded in accounts receivable—trade on the Company's balance sheet and in interest income in the Company's statement of income.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Interest Expense—Interest expense primarily is derived from interest paid on credit facilities that the Company maintains to finance MLHFS and other credit facilities. Interest expense is accrued each period and any interest due is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's balance sheet and in interest expense in the Company's statement of income.

        Leases—The Company receives an allocation of rental expense from its Parent. The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

        Income Taxes—No provision was made in the Company's financial statements for federal income taxes because the Company is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and its results are included in its ultimate parent's filing with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Company is generally disregarded for state and local income tax purposes. For those jurisdictions that tax at the Company level, the amounts are inconsequential.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—A significant amount of the Company's business activities in 2012 involved multifamily and health care lending activities through programs sponsored by HUD, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.

        The Company is subject to credit risk with respect to certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans and one securitized HUD loan. The Company's exposure is limited as described in Note 9. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any significant concentration related to borrower or location. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2012, $7,000,700 of cash held in the restricted cash accounts was not covered by FDIC insurance.

        Escrow Balances and Custodial Accounts—In the normal course of conducting its mortgage servicing business, the Company collects escrow deposits to fund customer property taxes, hazard and general liability insurance premiums, as well as other escrow requirements. The Company also temporarily holds principal and interest payments that are received from borrowers until such funds are remitted to the investors. The Company held $493,676,427, which is not included on its balance sheet at March 31, 2012. The Company places these escrow balances with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2012, $243,131,266 of cash held in escrow was not covered by FDIC insurance.

        Recently Issued Accounting Standards—There were no accounting standards that were issued and required to be implemented that were not implemented that would have or are expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 3—GAINS FROM MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES

        The gains from mortgage banking activities consist of the following activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

NOTE 4—MSRs

        MSRs represent the fair value of the servicing rights retained by the Company for mortgage loans originated and sold. The capitalized amount is equal to the estimated fair value of the future expected net cash flows associated with the servicing rights. The following describes the key assumptions used in calculating each loan's MSR:

        Discount rate— Depending upon loan type, the discount rate used is management's best estimate of market discount rates. The rates used for loans originated were 8% to 10% for each of the three month periods presented.

        Estimated Life— The estimated life of the MSRs approximates the stated maturity date of the underlying loan as reduced by an expected prepayment and default factor.

        Servicing Cost— The estimated future cost to service the loan for the estimated life of the MSR is subtracted from the estimated future cash flows.

        The fair value of the MSRs was $115.1 million at March 31, 2012. The Company uses a discounted static cash flow valuation approach and the key economic assumption is the discount rate. For example see the following sensitivities:

        The impact of a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate at March 31, 2012, is a decrease in the fair value of $4.0 million. The impact of a 200 basis point increase in the discount rate at March 31, 2012, is a decrease in the fair value of $7.8 million.

        Activity related to capitalized MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5—ALLOWANCE FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

        We evaluate the allowance for risk-sharing obligations by monitoring the performance of each loan for triggering events or conditions that may signal a potential default. In situations where payment under the risk sharing is probable and estimable on a specific loan, we record a liability for the estimated allowance for risk-sharing through a charge to the provision for risk-sharing obligations in the income statement. The amount of the provision reflects our assessment of the likelihood of payment by the borrower, the estimated disposition value of the underlying collateral and the level of risk-sharing. Historically, the loss recognition occurs at or before the loan becoming 60 days delinquent. A summary of our allowance for risk-sharing for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

        As of March 31, 2012, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability associated with the Company's guarantees under the Fannie Mae DUS agreement, the Freddie Mac Target Affordable and HUD Co-Insurance program was $729 million. The maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss we would incur. We would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans we service for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement.

NOTE 6—SERVICING

        The total amount of loans the Company was servicing for various institutional investors was $17.1 billion as of March 31, 2012.

NOTE 7—NOTES PAYABLE

        Warehouse notes payable—To provide financing to borrowers under GSE and HUD programs, the Company has arranged for committed warehouse lines of credit in the amount of $350 million with certain national banks and a $225 million uncommitted facility with Fannie Mae. In support of each of these credit facilities, the Company has pledged substantially all of its loans held for sale under the Company's approved programs. At March 31, 2012, borrowings aggregated $260.7 million under the warehouse facilities. The borrowing rates under these warehouse facilities continue to be computed based on the average 30-day LIBOR plus 1.10% to 2.25% with the lower end of the range being subject to a 35 basis point floor for the average 30-day LIBOR.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION

        Fair Value Hierarchy—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market,

F-13

Table of Contents

CWCapital LLC

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date ("exit price"). The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

        Fair Value Option—The Company may make an irrevocable election to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. The election to carry an instrument at fair value is made at the individual contract level and can be made only at origination or inception of the instrument, or upon the occurrence of an event that results in a new basis of accounting.

        The Company elected the fair value option on a loan and bonds held for investment upon acquisition of the investments. This election was made to reflect current estimated value of the loan and bonds held for investment.

        The Company elected the fair value option on MLHFS entered into after the election date. This election was made to decrease earnings volatility and match corresponding changes in the related commitment to sell loans.

        The above amounts do not include interest and dividends earned during the period. Such interest and dividends are recorded in interest income or interest expense on an accrual basis. Additionally, amounts do not reflect associated derivatives.

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

        Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

        MSRs—Fair value of MSRs was determined by using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market assumptions commonly used by buyers of these types of commercial/multifamily servicing rights. The model considers contractually specified servicing fee rates, prepayments assumptions, delinquency rates, cost of servicing and other economic factors. The MSRs are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        MLHFS—The book value of MLHFS includes loans for which the Company elected the fair value option and approximately $310,368 of loans for which the fair value option was not elected. Fair values are determined using management's judgment based on the intended exit strategy for the mortgage loan, including whole loan sales. MLHFS for which the fair value option has been elected was determined by using quoted prices from market participants as well as an assessment of the present value of certain fee components that are retained by the Company. These MLHFS are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Derivative Assets and Liabilities—The Company's derivatives are valued as follows:

•

The fair value of rate locks was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the date the loan was locked to period end as well as an assessment of the present value of certain fee components that are retained by the Company. Rate locks are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of commitments to sell loans was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the time the sale commitment was entered into to the date of the financial statements. The fair value of commitments to sell loans was determined by reviewing the market change in the interest rate from the date the loan was locked to period end. Commitments to sell loans are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Loan and Bonds Held for Investment—The fair values of loan and bonds held for investment was determined by using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market assumptions

F-17

Table of Contents

CWCapital LLC

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 8—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

commonly used by buyers of these types of loans and bonds. Loan and bonds held for investment are classified within Level 3.

        Notes Payable—The fair value of notes payable is the same as the carrying value as these notes have a floating rate of interest which is a market rate of interest for these types of notes. Notes payable are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 9—LITIGATION, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Fannie Mae DUS Related Commitments—Commitments for the origination and subsequent sale and delivery of loans to Fannie Mae represent those mortgage loan transactions where the borrower has locked an interest rate and scheduled closing and the Company has entered into a mandatory delivery commitment to sell the loan to Fannie Mae. As discussed in Note 8, the Company accounts for these commitments as derivatives recorded at fair value.

        The Company is generally required to share the risk of any losses associated with loans sold under the Fannie Mae DUS program (the DUS risk-sharing obligations). The Company is required to secure this obligation by assigning restricted cash balances and securities to Fannie Mae. The reserve for loans may be posted over the first 48 months. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had pledged cash and securities in excess of these requirements. In 2010, Fannie Mae increased its collateral requirements for Tier II loans by approximately 25 basis points effective April 1, 2011. Based on our aggregate Fannie Mae portfolio as of March 31, 2012, the total incremental collateral required for all existing loans over the life of the portfolio, in accordance with Fannie Mae requirements, is expected to be approximately $6.9 million. In January 2012, Fannie Mae notified its Multifamily DUS lenders that collateral requirements on Fannie Mae Tier II, III and IV loans will remain unchanged for 2012. However, collateral requirements for existing and new Fannie Mae Tier I loans will increase from 50 basis points to 90 basis points and that Level 2 and Level 3 loss sharing requirements will increase. We currently have no loans in our portfolio which will be affected by the announced collateral changes and do not expect it will have a material impact on our future operations; however, future changes to collateral requirements may adversely impact us. Under the provisions of the DUS agreement, the Company must also maintain a certain level of liquid assets referred to as the operational and unrestricted portions of the required reserves each year. These requirements were satisfied by the Company as of March 31, 2012.

        For most loans we service under the Fannie Mae DUS program, we are currently required to advance 100% of the principal and interest due to noteholders up to 5% of the unpaid principal balance if the borrower is delinquent in making loan payments. Under the HUD program, we are required to advance 100% of the principal and interest payments due to noteholders if the borrower is delinquent in making loan payments. Advances are included in accounts receivable—trade.

        Fannie Mae has established benchmark standards for capital adequacy, and reserves the right to terminate the Company's servicing authority for all or some of the portfolio, if at any time it determines that the Company's financial condition is not adequate to support its obligation under the DUS agreement. The Company is required to maintain acceptable net worth as defined in the standards and the Company satisfied the requirements as of March 31, 2012. The net worth requirement is derived primarily from unpaid balances on Fannie Mae loans and the level of risk-sharing. At March 31, 2012, the net worth requirement was $30.5 million and the Company's acceptable net worth was $151.7 million. As of March 31, 2012, we were required to maintain at least

NOTE 9—LITIGATION, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

$4.5 million of liquid assets to meet our operational liquidity requirements, as defined in the agreements, for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD and Ginnie Mae. As of March 31, 2012, we had operational liquidity of $21.4 million.

        Litigation—We cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation and may be subject to consequences that could include fines, penalties and other costs, and our reputation and business may be impacted. Our management believes that any liability that could be imposed on us in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

        In the normal course of business, the Company may be party to various claims and litigation.

NOTE 10—TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

        The Company shares office facilities and personnel with the Parent and other subsidiaries of the Parent. Accordingly, the related costs of such arrangements have been allocated among the various subsidiaries in a manner which management believes is representative of the actual costs incurred. Included in general and administrative expense is $1,843,017 and $1,652,142 of cost allocations for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        The Company had accounts receivable outstanding with employees of $75,555 primarily representing amounts advanced against future compensation.

        Amounts earned from or paid to affiliates of the Company for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        The Company evaluated subsequent events after the condensed balance sheet date of March 31, 2012 through June 30, 2012, which was the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

        On May 23, 2012, the Company increased its first mortgage warehousing demand line of credit to $150 million and extended the maturity date to July 12, 2012.

        On May 23, 2012, the Company increased its fourth mortgage warehousing demand line of credit to $100 million.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Member
of CWCapital LLC:

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CWCapital LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of income, member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CWCapital LLC as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

1. ORGANIZATION

        CWCapital LLC (the "Company"), a Massachusetts limited liability company, is a wholly owned operating subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC ("CWFS" or "Parent"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company commenced operations on September 9, 2002, and is in the business of originating, selling, and servicing commercial real estate mortgages.

        CWFS is a wholly owned subsidiary of CWFS Holdings LLC ("Holdings"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Galaxy Acquisition LLC ("Galaxy"). Galaxy is an affiliate of the Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress").

        The Company is licensed as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") approved Title II Nonsupervised Mortgagee. The Company is also licensed by Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Presentation—The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Entities where the Company holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights are accounted for under the equity method, and the pro rata share of the income is included in other income on the Company's statement of income.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant use of estimates relates to valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, such as mortgage loans held for sale ("MLHFS"), mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), intangible assets, derivative assets and liabilities, risk share liability and certain compensation plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management considers to be of high quality; however, at times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit.

        Restricted Cash—Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage and includes amounts required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

        Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable is composed primarily of security delivery deposits, primary servicing advances and primary servicing fees. Security delivery deposits are collected upon settlement of the security with the investor. Such deposits are made to insure delivery of the security to the investor by the Company. Primary servicing advances are either applied against loss settlement (Fannie Mae), recovered through claims settlement (Ginnie Mae), or from reimbursement from the CMBS trust. Primary servicing fees are collected as monthly remittances are received from the

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

borrower on the loan being serviced. For all of these receivables, collectability is not deemed to be a significant risk and no reserve has been established.

        MLHFS—MLHFS is composed of loans that have been originated by the Company and are held on balance sheet while awaiting sale. The Company elects the fair value option for MLHFS entered into at and after September 1, 2010. Fees and costs related to fair valued MLHFS are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.

        MLHFS where the Company has not elected the fair value option were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently have been accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value ("LOCOFV").

        MSRs—The Company is required to record a separate asset or liability initially measured at fair value for servicing rights relating to mortgages originated and sold where the servicing rights have been retained ("Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "OMSRs"). MSRs are recognized as assets upon the sale of the loans. The Company also records a separate asset at fair value when it purchases servicing rights ("Purchased Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "PMSRs"). Management determines its classes of servicing assets and servicing liabilities based on program type.

        The Company elected to measure and carry its MSRs using the fair value option. Under the fair value option, MSRs are carried on the Company's balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded in fair value adjustments—MSRs in the Company's statement of income.

        Intangible Assets—Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized until it is determined that the useful life is no longer indefinite. The Company reviews indefinite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is permanently recognized by writing down the asset to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it may be impaired.

        Derivatives—From time to time, the Company enters into certain transactions related to its mortgage banking activities that are considered to be derivatives, as follows:

•

Rate lock agreements ("rate locks") are contracts entered into that allow commercial mortgage customers to lock in the interest rate on a mortgage while the loan is being underwritten and awaiting closure. Rate locks are considered derivatives if the loans that will result from the exercise of the contract will be held for sale. The fair value of rate locks at inception includes the expected net future cash flows related to fees on the related loan including future MSRs. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.



•

Commitments to sell loans are considered derivatives and are entered into simultaneously with the rate lock of the related loan to offset adverse changes in the market between the time an investor enters into the purchase agreement and the time the loan or a security which wraps around a loan is purchased (collectively, the "loan sale"). The fair value of these commitments at inception is zero. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Borrower Deposits—In the normal course of business, the Company receives cash from potential borrowers to pay expenses incurred during the loan origination process (i.e., legal, appraisal, engineering, environmental, etc.). Unused deposits generally are returned to the borrower at the time a loan is closed or at the time that an application for a loan is terminated. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance, as the deposit can be used to fund costs paid by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan. A corresponding liability is recognized in borrower deposits on the Company's balance sheet.

        Risk Share Liability—The Company has Citigroup Loan Portfolio and General Loan Portfolio risk, as follows:

•

Citigroup Loan Portfolio—The Company has risk on certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is limited to the first 1% of loss on a pool of loans (this risk is fully funded under a cash collateral agreement and the related cash is held in restricted cash). In addition, there are certain Fannie Mae loans where the Company's risk is 100% of the loss, and certain Fannie Mae loans where the Company's risk is pari passu with Fannie Mae on a one-third and two-thirds basis, respectively (collectively, "Citigroup Loan Portfolio"). Please see Note 4 for further information.



•

General Loan Portfolio—The Company assumes risk sharing with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans, generally not exceeding 20% of the original principal balance. The Company assumes risk on the first 8% of losses on certain Freddie Mac target affordable loans and with respect to a certain GNMA securitized loan, the Company assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder (collectively, "General Loan Portfolio"). The Company records an estimated loss in the financial statements if it has been determined that it is probable that a liability will be incurred. Such estimate is recorded in risk share liability on the Company's balance sheet.

        Servicing Fees—Servicing fees primarily consist of primary servicing fees and placement fees for the deposit of escrows. The Company earns primary servicing fees in connection with the collection of monthly debt service payments. These fees are earned and collected monthly in accordance with each respective loan agreement. The Company earns placement fees for depositing escrow balances with third party financial institutions. These fees are earned and collected monthly through arrangements with third parties. All of these fees are recorded on a monthly basis when earned.

        Mortgage Banking Activities—Mortgage banking activity income is recognized when the Company originates a loan with a borrower (the rate lock). Also included in mortgage banking activities are changes to the fair value of MLHFS and derivatives that occur during their respective holding periods. Upon sale of the loans, no gains or losses are recognized as such loans are recorded at fair value during their holding periods.

        Interest Income—Interest income primarily is derived from interest earned from mortgages held for sale and interest earned from a loan and bonds held for investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and recorded in accounts receivable—trade on the Company's balance sheet and in interest income in the Company's statement of income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Interest Expense—Interest expense primarily is derived from interest paid on credit facilities that the Company maintains to finance MLHFS and other credit facilities. Interest expense is accrued each period and any interest due is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's balance sheet and in interest expense in the Company's statement of income.

        Leases—The Company receives an allocation of rental expense from CWFS. The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

        Income Taxes—No provision was made in the Company's financial statements for federal income taxes because the Company is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and its results are included in its ultimate parent's filing with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Company is generally disregarded for state and local income tax purposes. For those jurisdictions that tax at the Company level, the amounts are inconsequential.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—A significant amount of the Company's business activities in 2011 involved multifamily and health care lending activities through programs sponsored by HUD, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.

        The Company is subject to credit risk with respect to certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans and one securitized HUD loan. The Company's exposure is limited as described in Note 13. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any significant concentration related to borrower or location. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2011, $6,500,529 of cash held in the restricted cash accounts was not covered by FDIC insurance.

        Escrow Balances and Custodial Accounts—In the normal course of conducting its mortgage servicing business, the Company collects escrow deposits to fund customer property taxes, hazard and general liability insurance premiums, as well as other escrow requirements. The Company also temporarily holds principal and interest payments that are received from borrowers until such funds are remitted to the investors. The Company held $497,043,823, which is not included on its balance sheet at December 31, 2011. The Company places these escrow balances with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2011, $130,683,349 of cash held in escrow was not covered by FDIC insurance.

        Recently Issued Accounting Standards—There were no accounting standards that were issued and required to be implemented that were not implemented that would have or are expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

3. HOLDINGS TERM LOAN

        On October 18, 2011, Holdings entered into an $115,000,000 term loan (the "Agreement") with a lender. The Agreement has a four-year term unless extended by Holdings for an additional three months under certain conditions described in the Agreement. The financing bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 600 and was 6.28% at December 31, 2011. Principal payments are due quarterly in the amount of $7,187,500 and Holdings has a one-time option to defer a quarterly payment as

described in the Agreement. Prepayment of the Agreement is subject to certain prepayment penalties as described in the Agreement. The Agreement is secured by a pledge of the membership interests of the Company and other collateral as described in a guarantee and collateral agreement of even date with the Agreement. The most restrictive financial covenant is the minimum debt service coverage ratio.

4. CITIGROUP

        On October 31, 2011, the Company acquired servicing rights on a Citigroup Loan Portfolio of 2,171 Fannie Mae loans with an unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $2,570,660,034, a subordinate loan with a UPB of $1,003,296 and accrued interest of $4,975 ("Loan Held for Investment"), two subordinate interest bonds which have a 20% interest in five loans ("Bonds Held for Investment"), and a Fannie Mae guarantee of $1,500,000 in exchange for $299,763 of cash.

        The Company assumed risk share liability on certain loans with an exposure of $16,022,988, of which the seller provided in cash an amount equal to this exposure. The cash is held in a custodial account and is included in restricted cash on the Company's balance sheet.

        Due to the fair values ascribed to the MSR and other assets acquired in the purchase, the Company recorded an offsetting liability which has been reflected in the risk share liability in the amount of $6,603,258. This amount is amortized into income over seven years and should offset the fair value adjustment recorded to the Citigroup MSR as the related servicing rights expire.

        The Company also recorded risk share liability of $1,104,609 related to loans where the Company has credit risk which is not directly matched by restricted cash.

        The purchase price allocation is as follows:

        The following table displays the loans in the Company's mortgage portfolio as of December 31, 2011:

        The cost basis of these loans was $700,339,014 at December 31, 2011.

7. MSRs

        The changes in the Company's MSRs measured using the fair value method at December 31, 2011, consist of the following:

        The MSR valuation process during the year ended December 31, 2011, was based on the use of a discounted cash flow model to arrive at an estimate of fair value at the balance sheet date. The cash flow assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are based on the assumptions the Company believes a potential third party acquirer would use to value the portfolio. A change in the discount rate of 100 bps or 200 bps would result in a decrease in the fair value by $4 million and $8 million, respectively.

        The risks inherent in the valuation of MSRs includes variations in the expected prepayment and default rate, unexpected changes in interest rates, and/or a variation in the expected timing of

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION

        Fair Value Hierarchy—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date ("exit price"). The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

        Fair Value Option—The Company may make an irrevocable election to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. The election to carry an instrument at fair value is made at the individual contract level and can be made only at origination or inception of the instrument, or upon the occurrence of an event that results in a new basis of accounting.

        The Company elected the fair value option on a loan and bonds held for investment upon acquisition of the investments. This election was made to reflect current estimated value of the loan and bonds held for investment.

        The Company elected the fair value option on MLHFS entered into after the election date. This election was made to decrease earnings volatility and match corresponding changes in the related commitment to sell loans.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

        Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

        MSRs—Fair value of MSRs was determined by using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market assumptions commonly used by buyers of these types of commercial/multifamily servicing rights. The model considers contractually specified servicing fee rates, prepayments assumptions, delinquency rates, cost of servicing and other economic factors. The MSRs are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        MLHFS—The book value of MLHFS includes loans for which the Company elected the fair value option and approximately $310,368 of loans for which the fair value option was not elected. Fair values are determined using management's judgment based on the intended exit strategy for the mortgage loan, including whole loan sales. MLHFS for which the fair value option has been elected was determined by using quoted prices from market participants as well as an assessment of the present value of certain fee components that are retained by the Company. These MLHFS are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Derivative Assets and Liabilities—The Company's derivatives are valued as follows:

•

The fair value of rate locks was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the date the loan was locked to period end as well as an assessment of the present value of certain fee components that are retained by the Company. Rate locks are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of commitments to sell loans was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the time the sale commitment was entered into to the date of the financial statements. The fair value of commitments to sell loans was determined by reviewing the market change in the interest rate from the date the loan was locked to period end. Commitments to sell loans are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Loan and Bonds Held for Investment—The fair values of loan and bonds held for investment was determined by using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market assumptions commonly used by buyers of these types of loans and bonds. Loan and bonds held for investment are classified within Level 3.

        Notes Payable—The fair value of notes payable is the same as the carrying value as these notes have a floating rate of interest which is a market rate of interest for these types of notes. Notes payable are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Legal Contingencies—The Company is currently engaged in litigation resulting from the normal course of business. The Company does not believe liabilities will result from such claims that will materially affect the financial statements of the Company.

        Commitments to Lend—At December 31, 2011, the Company had commitments to originate mortgage loans in the normal course of business for $335,906,438. These commitments to lend are either covered under sale commitments to HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae for commercial mortgage loans or are future advances on HUD/Ginnie Mae construction loans. In addition, the Company has commitments from investors to purchase certain of these mortgage loans in the amount of $1,042,895,452 for December 31, 2011.

        Risk Share Liability—At December 31, 2011, the Company had certain obligations with respect to mortgage loans originated:

Citigroup Loan Portfolio

        The Company has risk on certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is limited to the first 1% of loss on a pool of loans (this risk is fully funded under a cash collateral agreement and the related cash is held in restricted cash), certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is 100% of the loss and certain Fannie Mae loans where the risk is on a pari passu basis with Fannie Mae with the Company taking one-third of all losses and Fannie Mae taking the remaining two-thirds.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

General Loan Portfolio

        The Company assumes risk sharing with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans, not exceeding 20% of the original principal balance. The Company assumes risk on the first 8% of losses on Freddie Mac target affordable loans and with respect to a certain GNMA securitized loan, the Company assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder.

        Pursuant to various compliance requirements, the Company is required to maintain capital resources based on the total outstanding unpaid principal balances of mortgages issued and serviced. The most restrictive of these minimum net worth requirements is that of the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program, which required the Company to maintain minimum net worth of approximately $28.3 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, the Company had net worth, computed in accordance with the Fannie Mae DUS program requirements of $149,457,024.

        Restricted Cash—At December 31, 2011, the Company has cash of $22,523,516 posted with the custodial agent for the Fannie Mae Lender Reserve pursuant to the Loss Sharing Obligation with Fannie Mae, of which $16,022,918 (please refer to Note 4) and $6,500,598 relates to the Citigroup Loan Portfolio and General Loan Portfolio, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company has cash of $1,154,960 posted with the custodial agent for the Freddie Mac Target Affordable Reserve pursuant to the Loss Sharing Obligation with Freddie Mac.

        Lease Commitments—Future minimum lease commitments under leases entered into by the Company at December 31, 2011, are as follows:

        The Company, at the end of certain lease terms, may renew its lease at the then fair rental value for periods of 5 years. Future minimum lease commitments do not necessarily represent the rent expense that will be incurred by the Company as rent expense derived from an allocation from its Parent based on headcount in all offices occupied by the Parent and its subsidiaries. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $1,730,298.

        Borrower Deposits—At December 31, 2011, the Company held deposits amounting to $4,525,385. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance, as the deposit can be used to fund costs paid by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan.

        Representations and Warranties on Sales of Loans—The Company, in the ordinary course of business, issues certain representations and warranties in connection with the sale of mortgages. Such representations and warranties relate to the quality and condition of the documentation supporting

each loan at the point of sale and not to recourse provisions, if any, of the mortgage's sale agreement. The Company has evaluated the fair value of these representations and warranties and has determined that the liability is immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company shares office facilities and personnel with the Parent and other subsidiaries of the Parent. Accordingly, the related costs of such arrangements have been allocated among the various subsidiaries in a manner which management believes is representative of the actual costs incurred. Included in general and administrative expense is $7,212,954 of cost allocations.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Member
of CWCapital LLC:

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CWCapital LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, and the related statements of net income/loss, member's equity, and cash flows for the four month period ended December 31, 2010 and the nine month period ended August 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the four month period ended December 31, 2010 and the nine month periods ended August 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND AUGUST 31, 2010

1. ORGANIZATION

        CWCapital LLC (the "Company"), a Massachusetts limited liability company, is a wholly owned operating subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC ("CWF" or "Parent"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company commenced operations on September 9, 2002, and is in the business of originating, selling, and servicing commercial real estate mortgages.

        CWF's members included its management and an indirect subsidiary of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("CDP"), a Canadian global fund manager whose clients are mostly Quebec public and private pension and insurance plans. On September 1, 2010, Galaxy Acquisition LLC ("Galaxy") acquired all of the membership interests in CWF from the former members (the "Acquisition"), which resulted in CWF becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Galaxy. Galaxy is an affiliate of the Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress").

        The Company is licensed as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") approved Title II Nonsupervised Mortgagee. The Company is also licensed by Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Presentation—Galaxy elected to push-down the accounting for the acquisition of the membership interests of CWF to the individual assets and liabilities of CWF and its subsidiaries, including the Company. This push-down election presents the assets and liabilities of the Company at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid in the Acquisition.

        The balance sheet of the Company as of August 31, 2010, and the related statement of loss, statement of member's equity and statement of cash flows for the period December 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010, are those of the ("Predecessor") and are referred to as "the period ended August 31, 2010."

        The balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of income, statement of member's equity and statement of cash flows for the period September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, are those of the ("Successor") and are referred to as "the period ended December 31, 2010."

        The Predecessor statements of financial position and results of operations for the period ended August 31, 2010, are recorded on a historical cost basis and may not be comparable to the Successor statements of financial position and results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2010, which are affected by the application of push-down accounting on September 1, 2010.

        The financial statements include the accounts of the Company.

        In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30^th to December 31^st. See Note 3 for further details of this transaction.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant use of estimates relates to the valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, such as mortgage loans held for sale ("MLHFS"), mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), intangible assets, derivative assets and liabilities and commitments to sell loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management considers to be of high quality; however, at times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit.

        Restricted Cash—Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage and includes amounts required to meet certain regulatory requirements. It also includes cash collateral, which consists of margin calls posted with a swap counterparty.

        Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable is composed primarily of primary servicing fees. Primary servicing fees are collected as monthly remittances are received from the borrower on the loan being serviced. For this receivable, collectability is not deemed to be a risk; therefore, no reserve has been established.

        MLHFS—MLHFS is composed of loans that have been originated by the Company and are held on balance sheet while awaiting sale.

        On September 1, 2010, the Successor elected the fair value option for MLHFS entered into at and after the election date.

        Fees and costs related to fair valued MLHFS are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. Changes in fair value are recorded in 'mortgage banking activities' during the four months ended December 31, 2010 and in 'allocation of expense from affiliates—net' during the nine months ended August 31, 2010 on the Company's statements of income (loss).

        MLFHS where the Company has not elected the fair value option were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently have been accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value ("LOCOFV").

        MSRs—The Company is required to record a separate asset or liability initially measured at fair value for servicing rights relating to mortgages originated and sold where the servicing rights have been retained ("Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "OMSRs"). The Company also records a separate asset at fair value when it purchases servicing rights ("Purchased Mortgage Servicing Rights" or "PMSRs").

        The Predecessor elected the amortization method to account for MSRs subsequent to initial recognition. Servicing rights created or purchased between December 1, 2008 through August 31, 2010 were amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. For all servicing rights created or purchased in prior periods, the Predecessor amortized them using a

straight-line methodology which approximated amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Amortization is reported as a component of 'amortization of servicing rights' on the Predecessor's statement of loss. If a loan had future funding features, then the MSR related to future draws was recognized as the future draws were funded and sold, whether funded by the Company or directly by the investor.

        MSRs were evaluated for impairment by stratifying the portfolio according to predominant risk characteristics, primarily investor or program type. To the extent that the carrying value of an individual stratum exceeded its estimated fair value, that MSR was considered to be impaired. Such impairment would have been recognized through the income statement. In connection with its impairment analysis, the Predecessor monitored the rate of prepayment in the servicing loan portfolio, since the prepayment rate is a primary factor affecting impairment. Additionally, the Predecessor engaged an independent third party to assist in determining appropriate assumptions in determining fair value.

        The Successor elected to measure and carry its MSRs using the fair value option. Under the fair value option, MSRs are carried on the Successor's balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value are reported in 'fair value gains—MSRs—net' in the Successor's statement of income.

        Intangible Assets—The Successor recorded both indefinite and finite life intangible assets on its balance sheet in conjunction with the Acquisition. Finite life intangible assets are generally amortized over the estimated benefit period and in proportion to the projected benefit timing. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized until it is determined that the useful life is no longer indefinite. The Successor reviews finite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated if the sum of undiscounted estimated future net cash flows is less than the carrying value of the intangible asset. Impairment is permanently recognized by writing down the asset to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Infinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it may be impaired.

        Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lives of the underlying leases.

        Mortgage Banking—From time to time, the Company enters into certain transactions related to its mortgage banking activities, as follows:

•

Rate lock agreements ("rate locks") are contracts entered into that allow commercial mortgage customers to lock in the interest rate on a mortgage while the loan is being underwritten and awaiting closure. Rate locks are considered derivatives if the loans that will result from the exercise of the contract will be held for sale. The fair value of rate locks at inception includes the expected net future cash flows related to fees on the related loan including future MSRs. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

•

Interest rate swaps are entered into to offset the change in fair value of certain fixed rate MLHFS and are considered derivatives. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one counterparty pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and the other party pays a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. The Company records interest rate swaps at fair value and any subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as an adjustment to 'mortgage banking activities.' Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparty are recorded as an adjustment to 'mortgage banking activities.' When an interest rate swap is terminated, the Company will record an adjustment to income equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cash paid) closing the transaction and the Company's basis in the contract, if any. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined by estimating the amount that the Company would have realized if the Company had terminated the agreement at the financial statement date, with such estimation based on the value obtained from third party trading desks. For each swap, the key valuation variables are notional amount, fixed rate, effective date, maturity date, and floating rate convention (i.e., one month LIBOR vs. three month LIBOR, etc.). Additionally, the Company considers both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of interest rate swaps.



•

Commitments to sell Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae securities ("commitments to sell securities") are considered derivatives and are entered into simultaneously with the rate lock of the related loan to offset adverse changes in the securities market between the time an investor enters into the purchase agreement and the time the security is issued. The fair value of these commitments at inception is zero. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.



•

Commitments to sell loans are entered into simultaneously with the rate lock of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans in order to offset adverse changes in the mortgage loan market between the time Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac enters into a purchase agreement and the time the mortgage loan is purchased. The Company elected to record these commitments at fair value. The fair value of these commitments at inception is zero. Changes subsequent to inception are based on changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

        Effective December 1, 2009, the Company changed its accounting policy to recognize the fair value of rate locks, commitments to sell securities and commitments to sell loans at inception, which includes the fair value of all future cash flows. The effect of this change in policy has been recognized as an opening retained earnings adjustment of $6.2 million.

        Loan Closing Costs on Deposit—In the normal course of business, the Company receives cash from potential borrowers to pay expenses incurred during the loan origination process (i.e., legal, appraisal, engineering, environmental, etc.). Unused deposits are generally returned to the borrower at the time a loan is closed or at the time that an application for a loan is terminated. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance, as the deposit can be used to fund costs incurred by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan. A corresponding liability is recognized in 'loan closing costs on deposit' in the balance sheets.

AS OF AND FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND AUGUST 31, 2010

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Guarantee Obligation—The Company assumes risk sharing generally not to exceed 20% of the principal balances with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans, generally not to exceed 8% with respect to certain Freddie Mac affordable loans and with respect to a certain GNMA securitized loan, the Company assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder. The Company records an estimated loss in the financial statements if it has been determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Such estimate is recorded in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets. Pursuant to various compliance requirements, the Company is required to maintain capital resources based on the total outstanding unpaid principal balances of mortgages issued and serviced.

        Member's Equity/Paid-In Capital/Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit) —As a result of the Acquisition, retained earnings was reset to zero and paid in capital was restated to reflect the purchase price allocation to the Company based on the fair value of its assets and liabilities on the Successor's statement of member's equity. Results of operations subsequent to the Acquisition date are allocated to the Successor. Periods prior to the Acquisition are allocated to the Predecessor. Profits and losses are allocated to the member.

        Servicing Fees—Servicing fees primarily consist of primary servicing fees and placement fees for the deposit of escrows. The Company earns primary servicing fees in connection with the collection of monthly debt service payments. These fees are earned and collected monthly in accordance with each respective loan agreement. The Company earns placement fees for depositing escrow balances with third party financial institutions. These fees are earned and collected monthly through arrangements with third parties. All of these fees are recorded on a monthly basis when earned.

        Mortgage Banking Activities—Mortgage banking activity income is recognized when the Company records a derivative asset upon the commitment to originate a loan with a borrower (the rate lock) and sell the loan to an investor (the sale commitment). The derivative asset is recognized at fair value, which reflects the fair value of the contractual loan origination related fees and sale premiums, net of costs, and the estimated fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with servicing of loans. Also included in gains from mortgage banking activities are changes to the fair value of derivative liabilities that occur during their respective holding periods. Upon sale of the loans, no gains or losses are recognized as such loans are recorded at fair value during their holding periods. MSRs are recognized as assets upon the sale of the loans.

        Transfer of financial assets is reported as a sale when (a) the transferor surrenders control over those assets and (b) consideration other than beneficial interests in the transferred assets is received in exchange. The transferor is considered to have surrendered control over transferred assets if, and only if, certain conditions are met. The Company has determined that all loans sold have met these specific conditions and accounts for all transfers of mortgage loans as completed sales. When the mortgage loans are sold, the Company retains the right to service the loan and recognizes the MSR at fair value.

        Interest Income—Interest income is primarily derived from interest earned from mortgages held for sale, including accretion of the discount related to the initial fair value measurement of the loans that were reacquired from the special-purpose entity ("SPEs"). For loans where the fair value option were elected which were in nonaccrual status, no accretion of the related discount was recorded.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest income is accrued as earned and recorded in 'accounts receivable—trade' in the balance sheets and in 'interest income' in the statements of net income (loss).

        Interest Expense—Interest expense is primarily derived from interest paid on credit facilities that the Company maintains to finance MLHFS, including accretion of the discount related to the initial fair value measurement of the debt related to the SPEs and working capital lines. Interest expense is accrued each period and any interest due is recorded in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets and in 'interest expense' in the statements of net income (loss).

        Allocation of Expense from Affiliates—Net—The allocation was recorded based upon an allocation agreement between the Company and its parent company, CWF. The Company agreed to share certain costs related to loans that the Company originated and sold to SPEs and former qualified special purpose entities ("QSPEs"). These SPEs and former QSPEs were owned 100% by CWF. As the fair value of the residual interest retained by CWF and of the loans held by SPEs that were reacquired by CWF due to the change in QSPE status was primarily driven by the value of the loans sold by the Company, it was agreed that changes in the related fair values and other revenues, costs and reimbursements paid/received by CWF related to the SPEs and former QSPEs should be reflected in the Predecessor's statement of net loss. The amount of the allocation was reflected in the statement of net loss as 'allocation of expense from affiliates—net.' See Note 8 for additional information on the allocation agreement.

        Leases—The Company receives an allocation of rental expense from CWF. CWF recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records the difference between rent expense and the amount currently payable as deferred rent in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets.

        Income Taxes—No provision has been made in the financial statements for federal income tax because the Company is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and its results are included in its ultimate parent's filing with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Company is generally disregarded for state and local income tax purposes. For those jurisdictions that tax at the Company level, the amounts are immaterial and no related provision has been recorded.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—A significant amount of the Company's business activities in 2010 involved multifamily and health care lending activities through programs sponsored by HUD, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. There are no significant concentrations to these agencies in the Company's balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010.

        The Company is subject to credit risk with respect to certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans and one securitized HUD loan. The Company's exposure is limited as described in Note 15. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any significant concentration related to property type, borrower or location.

        The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, $2,250,000 and $26,785,447,

respectively, of cash held in the corporate operating and restricted cash accounts was not covered by FDIC insurance.

        Escrow Balances—In the normal course of conducting its mortgage servicing business, the Company collects escrow deposits to fund customer property taxes, hazard and general liability insurance premiums as well as other escrow requirements. The Company held $437,449,964 and $426,253,893, which are not included in the Company's balance sheets, in escrow balances at December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively. Such amounts have been segregated in separate accounts at third party depository institutions.

        Recently Issued Accounting Standards—There were no accounting standards that were issued and required to be implemented that were not implemented that would have or are expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

3. ACQUISITION TRANSACTION

        As described in Note 1, Organization, on September 1, 2010, the Company's Parent was acquired by Galaxy. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under this method, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded on the Successor's opening balance sheet at their estimated fair value.

        The allocation of the purchase price to the Company is as follows:

5. MLHFS

        The following table displays the loans in the Company's mortgage portfolio as of December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010:

        Commercial mortgage loans at LOCOFV were originated by the Company prior to period end and generally have been sold to investors with settlement occurring after period end. At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the fair value of these loans approximated their carrying amount.

6. MSRs

        The changes in the Successor's MSRs measured using the fair value method at December 31, 2010, consist of the following:

        The MSR valuation process during the four months ended December 31, 2010 was based on the use of a discounted cash flow model to arrive at an estimate of fair value at each balance sheet date. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are based on the assumptions the Company believes a potential third party acquirer would use to value the portfolio.

6. MSRs (Continued)

        The changes in the Predecessor's MSRs using the amortization method at August 31, 2010 consist of the following:

        The allowance for the impairment of MSRs at August 31, 2010 is as follows:

        During the nine months ended August 31, 2010, MSRs were initially recorded at fair value on the date a loan was sold and a servicing right was created. The OMSRs were fair valued using a loan level discounted cash flow analysis based on current market assumptions (including cost of servicing, escrow earnings rate, escrow inflation factors, prepayment rates and default factors) commonly used by buyers of these types of commercial/multifamily servicing, which were derived from prevailing conditions in the secondary servicing market.

        For both the Successor and the Predecessor, the risks inherent in the valuation of MSRs includes higher than expected default rates, unexpected changes in interest rates, and/or delays in the receipt of cash flows. Changes in market conditions could have had a material impact on the Company's estimates of fair value.

        A summary of the Company's MSRs and related characteristics as of December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, is as follows:

        During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Successor earned servicing fees, late fees, and other ancillary fees of $5,096,738, $50,795 and $2,182,447, respectively. During the period ended August 31, 2010, the Predecessor earned servicing fees, late fees, and other ancillary fees of $10,218,149, $170,972 and $4,006,569, respectively. Such amounts are reported in 'servicing fees' in the statements of income (loss).

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        The following table reflects the initial fair value measurement of intangible assets and accumulated amortization amounts for each major class of intangible asset at December 31, 2010:

8. CAPITAL MARKETS TRANSACTIONS

        In prior years, the Company originated commercial mortgage loans structured for ultimate resale in securitization transactions, CDOs, and privately placed sale transactions. The mortgages were sold by the Company to SPEs. The SPEs were established for the purpose of purchasing the mortgages originated by the Company and issuing participation certificates to certain financial institutions that

would provide temporary financing to the SPEs while the assets were warehoused and awaited final disposition. Each participation certificate issued by the SPEs was governed by a Master Participation Agreement that provided the financial institution with control over the disposition of the participation certificates, including a put option, held and executable only by the certificate holder, at whatever time the holder deemed appropriate. The Predecessor's parent held 100% of the common equity in each of the SPEs. In each of these transactions, the Predecessor's parent retained a residual interest in the assets transferred to the SPEs in addition to the Company retaining the MSRs related to the loans. The transactions were structured so that lenders had no recourse to other assets of the Predecessor's parent or any of their affiliates for the SPEs' failure to pay their obligations when due. The Predecessor's parent and its affiliates provided a guarantee for a portion of the debt related to all assets transferred to the SPEs.

        On December 1, 2009, the Predecessor adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, which removed the concept of a QSPE. The Predecessor determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the remaining SPE; and on December 1, 2009, consolidated this entity on its balance sheet. During March and April of 2010 all of the assets in the SPEs were sold to the former parent of the Company.

        The Company had an allocation agreement with CWF related to the loans that the Company originated and sold to the QSPEs as well as for the assets and liabilities recombined in CWF's financial statements in connection with the SPEs that failed to meet QSPE status. While CWF owned 100% of the equity of the QSPEs and SPEs, and therefore owned the residual interest in the QSPEs and the SPEs assets and liabilities, the changes in the fair value of the investment in residual interests and of the fair value of the SPEs assets and liabilities was based on the changes in value of the underlying loans which were originated and sold by the Company. Therefore, the Company had agreed that all changes related to the fair value for the SPEs and QSPEs would be reflected in the Company's statements of net loss. All fees, costs and reimbursements under the reimbursement agreements between CDP and CWF were reported through the Predecessor's statement of net loss. The intent of the agreement was to recognize the costs and revenues related to loans originated by the Company in statements of net loss.

        Additionally, CWF and CDP had agreed to share certain losses related to loans held by the SPEs and QSPEs owned by CWF. All profits and losses related to the loans were shared 80% by an affiliate of CDP and 20% by CWF.

9. JOINT VENTURE

        The Company invested in a joint venture, ARA Finance LLC, ("ARA"), with a third party for the purposes of seeking opportunities to provide mortgage loans for market rate and affordable multifamily, senior, and student housing and manufactured housing. The Company owns 50% of ARA, which is accounted for under the equity method. For the periods ended December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, there was a gain from this investment of $68,747 and $219,512, respectively.

        Derivative Counterparties and Credit Exposure—Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit risk related event, as defined by the existing derivative contracts. The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that are in a liability position at December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, is $187,376 and $245,916, respectively. The Company posted $160,978 as collateral for this exposure in the normal course of business as of December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010. Each change could trigger additional collateral requirements for the Company and its affiliates. If the credit risk related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company would have been required to post an additional $26,398 and $84,938 of collateral to its counterparties, respectively.

        The Company's derivative credit exposure relates principally to interest rate derivative contracts. Typically, the Company seeks to manage these exposures by contracting with experienced counterparties that are rated A- (or its equivalent) or better. These counterparties consist of large banks, broker-dealers, and other financial institutions that have a significant presence in the derivatives market, most of which are based in the United States.

        The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to certain derivatives; however, the Company monitors the performance of the counterparties and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties.

        Fair Value Measurements—The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value, such as MLHFS where the fair value option has been elected, MSRs, derivative assets, derivative liabilities and commitments to sell loans on a recurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as certain MLHFS at LOCOFV.

        Fair Value Hierarchy—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date ("exit price"). The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3—Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

        A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        Determination of Fair Value—In determining fair value, the Company uses market prices of the same or similar instruments whenever such prices are available, even in situations where trading volume may be low when compared with prior periods. A fair value measurement assumes that an asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants; and, accordingly, fair value is not determined based upon a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Where possible, the Company estimates fair value using other market observable data. Where the market price of the same or similar instruments is not available, the valuation of financial instruments becomes more subjective and involves a high degree of judgment. The following sections describe the valuation methodologies used to measure classes of financial instruments at fair value and specify the level in the fair value hierarchy where various financial instruments are generally classified. Valuation models, significant inputs to those models and any significant assumptions are included where appropriate.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

        Restricted Cash—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

        Accounts Receivable—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

MLHFS:

•

LOCOFV Assets—Fair value of MLHFS for which fair value accounting was not elected was determined using management's judgment based on the intended exit strategy for the mortgage loans, including whole loan sales. These loans are generally held for short periods of time, usually less than 30 days, and are usually 'presold.' The Company obtained fair values using available market information and/or valuation methodologies and recorded any impairment through the statements of income (loss). These MLHFS are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

Assets at Fair Value—Fair value of MLHFS is determined by using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates quoted observable prices from market participants. These MLHFS are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        MSRs—Fair value of MSRs was determined using management's judgment as well as information from a third party service provider based on current market assumptions commonly used by buyers of these types of commercial/multifamily servicing, which are derived from prevailing conditions in the secondary servicing market. The MSRs are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Intangible Assets—Fair value of intangible assets was determined as the difference between the present value of projected revenue and the present value of projected costs based on management's best estimate.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        Derivative Assets and Liabilities—The Company's derivatives are not listed on an exchange. As no quoted market prices exist for such instruments, derivatives are valued using internal valuation techniques using observable data. Valuation techniques and inputs to internally developed models depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying rate, price, or index upon which the derivative's value is based. Key inputs can include duration and index rate. Where model inputs can be observed in a liquid market and the model does not require significant judgment, such derivatives are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When instruments are traded in less liquid markets and significant inputs are unobservable, such derivatives are classified within Level 3. Additionally, significant judgments are required when classifying financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy, particularly between Levels 2 and 3, as is the case for certain derivatives. The following provides additional information about specific derivative instruments:

•

The fair value of rate locks was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the date the loan was locked to period end. The pull-through rate for rate locks was not material to the valuation. Rate locks are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined by estimating the amount that would have been realized if the Company had terminated the agreement at the financial statement date, with such estimation based on the value obtained from third party trading desks. For each swap, the key valuation variables are notional amount, fixed rate, effective date, maturity date, and floating rate convention (i.e., one month LIBOR vs. three month LIBOR etc.). Interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of commitments to sell securities was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the time the sale commitment was entered into to the date of the financial statements. Commitments to sell securities are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Notes Payable—Fair value of debt of the Predecessor, where the fair value option was elected, was determined based on information observable in the market calibrated to the specific instrument through management judgment and management's estimate of the value of the underlying collateral. It is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Commitments to Sell Loans—The fair value of commitments to sell loans was determined by reviewing the market change in the interest rates from the date the loan was locked to period end. Commitments to sell loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Level 3 Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis—The determination to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is based on the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. However, in addition to unobservable inputs, the valuation of Level 3 instruments typically includes observable inputs as well. Thus, the gains and losses reflected in the rollforward of balances in the tables that follow include changes in fair value that are due at least partially to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Additionally, the Company uses certain derivatives classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to manage certain risk characteristics of Level 3 financial instruments. Because Level 2 instruments are not included in this discussion or in the rollforward, gains and losses may appear to reflect a certain degree of volatility when presented exclusive of related Level 2 derivatives that may be used to offset risk in Level 3 instruments.

        Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in the Company's statements of income (loss) for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, for Level 3 assets and liabilities reported in its balance sheets at fair value are presented in the table as follows:

 

        Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis—Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. These instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and include assets such as MLHFS that have been deemed impaired.

        There were no financial instruments held on the balance sheet at December 31, 2010, by level within the fair value hierarchy for which a nonrecurring change in fair value was recorded during the period ended December 31, 2010. MLHFS with a carrying amount of $442,463 were written down to their fair value of $310,368, resulting in a loss of $132,095, which is included in earnings for the period ended August 31, 2010.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        The following table presents financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010:

        Fair Value Option—Under fair value option accounting guidance, the Company may make an irrevocable election to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value reported in the results of operations. The election to carry an instrument at fair value is made at the individual contract level and can be made only at origination or inception of the instrument, or upon the occurrence of an event that results in a new basis of accounting.

        The Predecessor elected the fair value option for loan sale commitments for fixed rate loans entered into after the election date with corresponding changes in fair value reported in the results of operations. As these loan sale commitments were not considered derivatives prior to adoption and were not recorded on the financial statements, no transition adjustment was required. This election was intended to decrease earnings volatility and to match the related rate lock. Upon acquisition of the Predecessor, the Successor elected to continue to record the loan sale commitments for fixed rate loans at fair value.

        The Predecessor elected the fair value for certain newly reacquired MLHFS that it had originated and sold into SPEs, as well as the warehouse debt related to those MLHFS. These elections were made to decrease earnings volatility and match the loan with the related debt. During March and April 2010 the reacquired MLHFS were sold, and the related warehouse debt was assumed by the buyer. See Note 8 for additional information on these transactions.

        Upon the acquisition of the Predecessor, the Successor elected fair value on MLHFS entered into after the election date. This election was made to decrease earnings volatility and match corresponding changes in the related commitment to sell securities, which is a derivative.

        The following table presents gains and losses due to changes in fair value for items measured at fair value pursuant to election of the fair value option for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010:

        The above amounts do not include interest and dividends earned during the period. Such interest and dividends are recorded in interest income or interest expense on an accrual basis. Additionally, amounts do not reflect associated derivatives.

        As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of MLHFS for which the fair value option was elected was $3,146,237 less than the aggregate unpaid contractual principal amount. There are no loans that are 90 days or more past due. As of August 31, 2010, there were no MLHFS for which the fair value option was elected.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Legal Contingencies—The Company is currently engaged in litigation resulting from the normal course of business. The Company does not believe liabilities will result from such claims that will materially affect the financial statements of the Company.

        Commitments to Lend—At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company had commitments to originate mortgage loans in the normal course of business for $479,418,356 and $450,789,955, respectively. These commitments to lend are either covered under commitments to HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae for commercial mortgage loans or are future advances on HUD/Ginnie Mae construction loans. In addition, the Company has commitments from investors to purchase certain of these mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $712,404,532 and $533,241,636 for December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        Guarantee Obligation—At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company had certain obligations with respect to mortgage loans originated:

        The Company assumes a risk generally not to exceed 20% of the principal balances with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans and generally not to exceed 8% with respect to Freddie Mac affordable loans and with respect to a certain GNMA securitized loan, the Company assumes the first 5% then 15% of any remainder. At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company has recorded a liability of $6,833,058 and $5,890,993, respectively, as a reserve under these loss-sharing arrangements recorded in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets.

        Pursuant to various compliance requirements, the Company is required to maintain capital resources based on the total outstanding unpaid principal balances of mortgages issued and serviced. The most restrictive of these minimum net worth requirements is that of the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program which required the Company to maintain minimum net worth of approximately $18.5 million and $15.6 million at December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company had net worth, computed in accordance with the Fannie Mae DUS program requirements of $137,305,254 and $95,311,228, respectively. If the Company was required to comply only with the minimum required net worth requirements as a HUD Title II Nonsupervised Mortgagee, the Company would be required to maintain $5,825,478 and $4,782,113 of net worth for December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively.

        Restricted Cash—At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company had restricted cash of $2,000,000 at a bank, which is collateral for a $4,000,000 letter of credit supporting its Fannie Mae Lender Reserve pursuant to the Loss Sharing Obligation with Fannie Mae. In addition, at December 31, 2010, the Company has cash of $500,000 posted with the custodial agent for the Fannie Mae Lender Reserve pursuant to the Loss Sharing Obligation with Fannie Mae.

        Also, at December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company had $160,978 in cash collateral posted related to swaps entered into with a financial institution in order to protect against interest rate movements in relation to two fixed rate B-notes originated by the Company.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        Lease Commitments—The Company leases office space under operating leases. Future minimum lease commitments under these leases at December 31, 2010, are as follows:

        Rent expense for the periods ended December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, was $532,804 and $1,162,420, respectively.

        Loan Closing Costs on Deposit—At December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010, the Company held deposits amounting to $2,876,095 and $6,613,853, respectively. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance, as the deposit can be used to fund costs incurred by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan.

        Representations and Warranties on Sales of Loans—The Company, in the ordinary course of business, issues certain representations and warranties in connection with the sale of mortgages. Such representations and warranties relate to the quality and condition of the documentation supporting each loan at the point of sale and not to recourse provisions, if any, of the mortgages' sale agreement. The Company has evaluated the fair value of these representations and warranties and has determined that the liability is immaterial to the financial statements.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Predecessor Company had accounts receivable outstanding with CDP and its affiliates of $27,116 as of August 31, 2010. This represents miscellaneous charges due to the Company.

        The Company had accounts receivable outstanding with ARA of $86,612 as of August 31, 2010 and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $118,508 as of December 31, 2010. These balances represented amounts owed from ARA for services provided by the Company and amounts owed to ARA related to fee splits.

        The Company shares office facilities and personnel with the Parent and other subsidiaries of the Parent. Accordingly, the related costs of such arrangements have been allocated among the various subsidiaries in a manner which management believes is representative of the actual costs incurred.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Member of
CWCapital LLC
Needham, Massachusetts

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CWCapital LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC) (the "Company") as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of net loss, other comprehensive loss, member's equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

1. ORGANIZATION

        CWCapital LLC (the "Company"), a Massachusetts limited liability company, is a wholly owned operating subsidiary of CW Financial Services LLC ("CWF" or "Parent"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company commenced operations on September 9, 2002, and is in the business of originating, selling, and servicing commercial real estate mortgages.

        CWF's members include its management and an indirect subsidiary of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("CDP"), a Canadian global fund manager whose clients are mostly Quebec public and private pension and insurance plans. CDP owned approximately an 82% interest in CWF as of November 30, 2009.

        In August 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with a third party and formed ARA. The Company and the third party each hold a 50% interest in the joint venture. ARA was formed to seek opportunities to provide mortgage loans for market rate and affordable multifamily, senior, and student housing.

        The Company is licensed as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") approved Title II Nonsupervised Mortgagee. The Company is also licensed by Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of our significant accounting policies is as follows:

        Basis of Presentation—The financial statements include the accounts of the Company.

        Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant use of estimates relates to the valuation of certain financial instruments and other assets and liabilities, such as mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), rate lock agreements ("rate locks"), notes payable, interest rate swaps, commitments to sell securities and commitments to sell loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions which management considers to be of high quality; however, at times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit.

        Restricted Cash—Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage and includes amounts required to meet certain regulatory requirements. It also includes cash collateral, including margin calls posted with a swap counterparty.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable is composed primarily of servicing advances. The Company is required to make principal and interest advances to investors under certain of the lending programs for which it is licensed. Such advances are generally recoverable, and as a result, no reserve has been recorded.

        Mortgage Loans Held for Sale—Mortgage loans held for sale is composed of loans that have been originated or acquired by the Company and are held on balance sheet while awaiting sale or securitization.

        Mortgage loans held for sale where the Company has not elected the fair value option are initially recorded at the principal amount outstanding adjusted for any premiums or discounts and deferred fees and costs. The Company's mortgage loans consist of commercial real estate loans held for sale to investors, which are accounted for at LOCOFV. Loan origination fees and direct origination costs are deferred until the loan is sold. If a loan has future funding features, then the deferred fees and costs related to future draws are recognized as the future draws are funded.

        Certain mortgage loans held for sale are measured at fair value. Fees and costs related to fair valued mortgage loans held for sale are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.

        The Company obtains fair values using available market information and/or valuation methodologies on a loan-by-loan basis. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value; therefore, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The effect of using different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may materially impact the fair value amounts.

        MSRs—The Company is required to record a separate asset or liability initially measured at fair value for servicing rights relating to mortgages originated and sold where the servicing rights have been retained (Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights or "OMSRs"). The Company also records a separate asset at fair value when it purchases servicing rights. The Company has elected to utilize the amortization method to account for MSRs subsequent to initial recognition. Servicing rights created or purchased in 2009 are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. For all servicing rights created or purchased prior to fiscal year 2009, the Company has amortized them using a straight-line methodology which approximates amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The amortization is being reported as a component of 'amortization of servicing rights' in the statements of net loss. If a loan has future funding features, then the MSR related to future draws is recognized as the future draws are funded and sold, whether funded by the Company or directly by the investor.

        MSRs are evaluated for impairment by stratifying the portfolio according to predominant risk characteristics, primarily investor or program type. To the extent that the carrying value of an individual stratum exceeds its estimated fair value, that MSR is considered to be impaired. Such impairment would be recognized through the income statement. In connection with its impairment analysis, the Company monitors the rate of prepayment in the servicing loan portfolio, as the prepayment rate is a primary factor affecting impairment. Additionally, the Company engages an independent third party to assist the Company in determining appropriate assumptions in determining fair value.

AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lives of the underlying leases.

        Derivative Instruments—From time to time, the Company enters into certain transactions that are accounted for as derivatives as follows:

•

Rate locks are contracts entered into that allow commercial mortgage customers to lock in the interest rate on a mortgage while the loan is being underwritten and awaiting closure. Market interest rate changes, between the time the customer receives a rate lock and the time the mortgage loan is funded, can change the fair value of a potential mortgage and the resulting fair value of the rate lock. The Company records rate locks at fair value and any subsequent change in fair value is recorded as a component of 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.' The fair value of these rate locks is determined by reviewing the index yield change from the date the interest rate of the loan was locked to the date of the financial statements.



•

Interest rate swaps are entered into to offset the change in fair value of certain fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale and rate locks. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one counterparty pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and the other party pays a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. The Company records interest rate swaps at fair value and any subsequent change in fair value is recorded as an adjustment to 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.' Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparty are recorded as an adjustment to 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.' When an interest rate swap is terminated, the Company will record an adjustment to income equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cash paid) closing the transaction and the Company's basis in the contract, if any. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined by estimating the amount that the Company would have realized if the Company had terminated the agreement at the financial statement date, with such estimation based on the value obtained from Bloomberg, an industry standard vendor service for pricing financial instruments. For each swap, the key input variables to Bloomberg are notional amount, fixed rate, effective date, maturity date, and floating rate convention (i.e., one month LIBOR vs. three month LIBOR, etc.). Additionally, the Company considers both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of interest rate swaps.

Commitments to sell Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae securities are entered into simultaneously with the rate lock of the related loan to offset adverse changes in the securities market between the time an investor enters into the purchase agreement and the time the security is issued. The Company records these sales commitments at fair value and any subsequent change in fair value is recorded as a component of 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.' The fair value of these sales commitments is determined by reviewing the market changes based on interest rates from the time the sale commitment was entered into to the date of the financial

statements. The value of commitments to sell securities is expected to offset the interest rate lock for the loan underlying that security.

•

Interest rate caps for floating rate loans that the Company has originated are entered into to mitigate the risk of default by the borrower from changing interest rates. The monthly payments received under such caps are applied to the monthly debt service payment of the borrower. The Company records interest rate caps at fair value based on duration and index, considering a valuation obtained from a third party provider. As any monthly payment received by the Company is applied to the debt service of the loan, a liability equal to the fair value of the interest rate cap is also recorded to reflect that practice. The Company records interest rate caps at fair value and any subsequent change in fair value is recorded as a component of 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.' The caps are reflected in 'other assets' and the related liability is reflected in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets.

        Notes Payable—For notes where the Company has elected the fair value option, the notes are measured at fair value. Fees and costs related to notes for which the Company has elected the fair value option are recognized in earnings as incurred and are not deferred.

        The fair value of these notes is determined by a model where the significant inputs are market financing spreads, market advance rate and equity replication rate. The inputs were based on management's best estimate.

        Loan Closing Costs on Deposit—In the normal course of business, the Company receives cash from potential borrowers to pay expenses incurred during the loan origination process (i.e., legal, appraisal, engineering, environmental, etc.). Unused deposits are returned to the borrower at the time a loan is closed or at the time that an application for a loan is terminated. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance as the deposit can be used to fund costs incurred by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan. A corresponding liability is recognized in 'loan closing costs on deposit' in the balance sheets.

        Commitments to Sell Loans—Commitments to sell loans are entered into simultaneously with the rate lock of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans in order to offset adverse changes in the mortgage loan market between the time Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac enter into a purchase agreement and the time the mortgage loan is purchased. The Company elected to record these commitments at fair value. Any subsequent change in fair value is recorded as a component of 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.' The fair value of these sales commitments is determined by reviewing the market change from the time the sale commitment was entered into to the date of the financial statements. The value of commitments to sell loans is expected to offset the interest rate lock for the same loan.

        Loan Loss Reserves—The Company assumes risk sharing generally not to exceed 20% of the principal balances with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans and generally not to exceed 8% with respect to Freddie Mac affordable loans. Pursuant to various compliance requirements, the Company is required to maintain capital resources based on the total outstanding unpaid principal balances of mortgages issued and serviced. The Company records an estimated loss in the financial statements if it

has been determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Such estimate is recorded in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets.

        Member's Equity/Paid-In Capital/Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)/Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit)—At the end of each fiscal year, profits and losses are generally allocated to the member. This allocation may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Company ("LLC") agreement. Other comprehensive loss was primarily the result of unrealized gains and losses for assets classified as available for sale.

        Servicing Fees—Servicing fees primarily consist of servicing fees and placement fees for the deposit of escrows. The Company earns servicing fees in connection with the collection of monthly debt service payments. These fees are earned and collected monthly in accordance with each respective loan agreement. The Company earns placement fees for depositing escrow balances with third party financial institutions. These fees are earned and collected monthly through arrangements with third parties.

        Gain on Sale of Mortgages—Net and Derivative Income—Gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income includes both the gain on sale of mortgages and related derivatives, as well as any change related to the fair value of those derivatives and the cash payments received. Changes in fair value of commitments to sell loans are also recorded in this account. The Company recognizes gain on sale of mortgages and related derivatives based on the difference between (a) the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold, and the interests that continue to be held by the Company, based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer and (b) the proceeds received. For loans recorded at LOCOFV, the carrying amount of the loans sold includes the original principal amount plus deferrals of fees and points received and direct loan origination costs, less any write downs to fair value. For loans recorded at fair value under the fair value option election, deferred fees and points received and direct loan origination costs are recognized in earnings at the date they are incurred. The Company includes the initial fair value of any MSR related to the portion of the loan sold in 'gain on sale of mortgages—net and derivative income.'

        Interest Income—Interest income is derived from interest earned from mortgages held for sale, including accretion of the discount related to the initial fair value measurement of the loans that were reacquired from the qualified special purpose entities ("QSPEs") (see Note 6 for additional information), interest earned from investments in securities and from other assets where the effective yield method is used. For loans where the fair value option was elected which are in nonaccrual status, no accretion of the related discount is recorded. Interest income is accrued as earned and recorded in 'accounts receivable—trade' in the balance sheets and in 'interest income' in the statements of net loss.

        Interest Expense—Interest expense is derived from interest paid on credit facilities that the Company maintains to finance mortgage loans held for sale, secured financings with affiliates and working capital lines. See Note 11 for details regarding notes payable. Interest expense is accrued each period and any interest due is recorded in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets and in 'interest expense' in the statements of net loss.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Fair Value Losses—Net—Mortgage loans held for sale and notes payable—related party that are fair valued are initially recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in the statements of net loss. Subsequent changes in fair value for those instruments that have been recorded at fair value are recorded in 'allocation of expense from affiliates—net.' The Company has provided fair value estimates and information about valuation methodologies in Note 13.

        Allocation of Expense From Affiliates—Net—The allocation is recorded based upon an allocation agreement between the Company and its parent company, CWF. The Company has agreed to share certain costs related to loans that the Company originated and sold to special purpose entities ("SPEs") and QSPEs. These SPEs and QSPEs are owned 100% by CWF, as more fully described in Note 6. As the fair value of the residual interest retained by CWF and of the loans held by SPEs that have been reacquired by CWF due to the change in QSPE status is primarily driven by the value of the loans sold by the Company, it has agreed that changes in the related fair values and other revenues, costs and reimbursements paid/received by CWF related to the SPEs and QSPEs should be reflected in the Company's statements of net loss. The amount of the allocation is reflected in the statements of net loss as 'allocation of expense from affiliates—net' and reflected in the balance sheets in 'due to Parent.' See Note 15 for additional information on the allocation agreement.

        Leases—For leases that contain fixed escalations of the minimum annual lease payment during the original term of the lease and for leases with free rent periods, the Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records the difference between rent expense and the amount currently payable as deferred rent in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets.

        Income Taxes—No provision has been made in the financial statements for income tax because the Company is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and its results are included in its Parent's filing with the Internal Revenue Service.

        Concentration of Credit Risk—A significant amount of the Company's business activities in 2009 and 2008 involved multifamily and health care lending activities through programs sponsored by HUD, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. There are no significant concentrations to these agencies in the Company's balance sheets at November 30, 2009 and 2008. During 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac entered conservatorship. The Company has determined that there have been no changes in credit risk due to the conservatorship. The Company could be susceptible to changes in governmental appropriations and regulations.

        As a result of reacquiring certain mortgage loans from the QSPEs in the prior year (as discussed in Note 6), the Company now has a significant amount of mortgage loans and related interest rate swaps on its financial statements for which the Company has credit risk. The Company's exposure to the reacquired loans is limited as described in Note 15. The Company is also subject to credit risk with respect to certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. The Company's exposure to the certain Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans is limited as described in Note 14. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any significant concentration related to property type, borrower or location. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed

        Escrow Balances—In the normal course of conducting its mortgage servicing business, the Company collects escrow deposits to fund customer property taxes, hazard and general liability insurance premiums as well as other escrow requirements. The Company held $360,986,259 and $334,591,538, which are not included in the Company's balance sheets, in escrow balances at November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Such amounts have been segregated in separate accounts at third party depository institutions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        Other-Than-Temporary Impairments ("OTTIs") on Purchased Beneficial Interests—In January 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, which amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to achieve more consistent determination of whether an OTTI has occurred. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2008. This FSP had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

        OTTIs on Investment Securities—In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FASB Statement No. 115-2 and FASB Statement No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amends the recognition guidance for OTTI of debt securities and expands the financial statement disclosures for OTTI on debt and equity securities. This statement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adopting this FSP had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

        Measurement of Fair Value in Inactive Markets—In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. The FSP reaffirms that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The FSP also reaffirms the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. This statement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the FSP had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

        Additional Disclosures for Derivative Instruments—On December 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. The standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedged items that are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and related interpretations. No comparative information for periods prior to the effective date is required. This statement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The

adoption of FASB Statement No. 161 had no impact on how the Company accounts for these instruments. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 10.

        Sale With Repurchase Financing Agreements—In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FASB Statement No. 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions. FSP FASB Statement No. 140-3 provides implementation guidance on whether a security transfer with a contemporaneous repurchase financing involving the transferred financial asset must be evaluated as one linked transaction or two separate de-linked transactions. FSP FASB Statement No. 140-3 requires the recognition of the transfer and the repurchase agreement as one linked transaction, unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the initial transfer and the repurchase financing are not contractually contingent on one another; (2) the initial transferor has full recourse upon default, and the repurchase agreement's price is fixed and not at fair value; (3) the financial asset is readily obtainable in the marketplace and the transfer and repurchase financing are executed at market rates; and (4) the maturity of the repurchase financing is before the maturity of the financial asset. The scope is limited to transfers and subsequent repurchase financings that are entered into contemporaneously or in contemplation of one another. This statement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and applied prospectively to initial transfers and repurchase financings for which initial transfer is executed on or after the beginning of December 1, 2008. The adoption of FSP FASB Statement No. 140-3 had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations—In November 2008, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations. The objective of EITF Issue No. 08-6 is to clarify the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. Under EITF Issue No. 08-6, an entity shall measure its equity method investment initially at cost in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations. Any OTTI of an equity method investment should be recognized in accordance with Opinion 18. An equity method investor shall not separately test an investee's underlying assets for impairment. Share issuance by an investee shall be accounted for as if the equity method investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment, with a gain or loss recognized in earnings. EITF Issue No. 08-6 is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. EITF Issue No. 08-6 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements—In December 2007, the EITF issued EITF Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements. The objective of EITF Issue No. 07-1 is to define collaborative arrangements and to establish reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. EITF Issue No. 07-1 is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Business Combinations—In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FASB Statement No. 141(R), Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. This FSP addresses the application issues raised on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from

contingencies in a business combination. FSP FASB Statement No. 141(R) is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. FSP FASB Statement No. 141(R) is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Elimination of QSPEs—In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement removes the concept of a QSPE from FASB Statement No. 140 and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to qualifying special-purpose entities. This statement modifies the financial-components approach used in FASB Statement No. 140 and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. The special provisions in FASB Statement No. 140 and FASB Statement No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities, for guaranteed mortgage securitizations are removed to require those securitizations to be treated the same as any other transfer of financial assets within the scope of FASB Statement No. 140, as amended by this statement. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. FASB Statement No. 166 is effective as of the beginning of each fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. At November 30, 2009, CWCapital Mortgage Securities VI LLC ("Mortgage VI") was the only SPE that continued to meet the definition of a QSPE. Upon adoption of FASB Statement No. 166, Mortgage VI, which it currently has involvement, will no longer be considered a QSPE. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its financial statements.

        Changes in the FIN 46(R) Consolidation Model—In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). FASB Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46(R) to include in its scope former QSPEs, to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE"), and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both. This statement also amends FIN No. 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a VIE. The enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a VIE. As a result of the new consolidation rules, the Company expects to be required to consolidate certain of the VIEs. An ongoing evaluation of the application of these new requirements could result in the identification of additional VIEs that may require consolidation.

        Subsequent Events—In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events. This statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. FASB Statement No. 165 is effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2009. FASB Statement No. 165 had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Codification—In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. All then-existing, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards are superseded. Concurrently, all nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the codification is deemed nonauthoritative. FASB Statement No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. FASB Statement No. 168 had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value—In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-5, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("Topic 820"). ASU 2009-5 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company is required to measure fair value of that liability using the quoted market price of the identical liability when traded as an asset; quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820. ASU 2009-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption of ASU 2009-5 will have no effect on the Company's financial statements.

        Income Taxes—In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes, Topic 740, Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities. ASU 2009-06 provides implementation guidance through examples and eliminates the disclosure requirements required for nonpublic entities. ASU 2009-06 is effective as of the beginning of each fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. ASU 2009-06 had no effect on the Company's financial statements.

5. MSRs

        The Company's MSRs at November 30, 2009 and 2008, consist of the following:

        MSRs are initially recorded at fair value on the date a loan is sold or when a servicing right is purchased. The OMSRs are fair valued using a loan level discounted static cash flow analysis based on current market assumptions (including cost of servicing, escrow earnings rate, escrow inflation factors, prepayment rates and default factors) commonly used by buyers of these types of commercial/multifamily servicing, which are derived from prevailing conditions in the secondary servicing market. The risks inherent in the valuation of MSRs include higher than expected prepayment rates, unexpected changes in interest rates, and/or delays in the receipt of cash flows. Changes in market conditions could have a material impact on the Company's estimates of fair value.

        A summary of the Company's MSR and related characteristics as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, is as follows:

        During the year ended November 30, 2009, the Company earned service fees, late fees, and other ancillary fees of $11,364,842, $219,780, and $4,684,233, respectively. During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Company earned servicing fees, late fees, and other ancillary fees of $8,964,924, $175,423, and $7,845,376, respectively. Such amounts are reported in 'servicing fees' in the statements of net loss.

6. CAPITAL MARKETS TRANSACTIONS

        Capital Market Transactions—In prior years, the Company had originated commercial mortgage loans structured for ultimate resale in securitization transactions, Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs"), and privately placed sale transactions. The mortgages were sold by the Company to CWCapital Mortgage Securities I LLC ("Mortgage I"), CWCapital Mortgage Securities II LLC ("Mortgage II"), CWCapital Mortgage Securities III LLC ("Mortgage III"), CWCapital Mortgage Securities IV LLC ("Mortgage IV"), CWCapital Mortgage Securities V LLC ("Mortgage V") and Mortgage VI, all of which qualified as QSPEs at November 30, 2007, as applicable. The QSPEs were established for the purpose of purchasing the mortgages originated by the Company and issuing participation certificates to certain financial institutions that provide temporary financing to the QSPEs while the assets are warehoused and awaiting final disposition. Each participation certificate issued by the QSPEs was governed by a Master Participation Agreement that provided the financial institution with control over the disposition of the participation certificates, including a put option, held and executable only by the certificate holder, at whatever time the holder deems appropriate. CWF held 100% of the common equity in each of the QSPEs. In each of these transactions, CWF retained a residual interest in the assets transferred to the QSPEs in addition to MSRs held by the Company. The transactions were structured so that lenders had no recourse to other assets of CWF, the Company or any of their affiliates for the QSPEs' failure to pay their obligations when due. Affiliates of CDP originally provided up to a 10% guarantee for the debt related to all assets transferred to the QSPEs. The guarantees did not jeopardize the "true sale" of the mortgages to the QSPEs. CWF paid an affiliate of CDP a fee of 2% of the guarantee outstanding amount plus 20% of the operating profits, if any, earned from operation of the conduit business unit of the Company. During 2007, the fee agreement for the guarantee was modified such that a 3% floor of the guarantee amount would be paid for Mortgage IV and Mortgage VI. As of July 1, 2008, the guarantee amount was changed to 2% on 20% of the outstanding financing. Please see Note 15 for further discussion. The cost of the guarantee and the change in fair value of the residual interest asset owned by CWF have been recorded in 'allocation of expense from affiliates—net' in the statements of net loss. See Note 15 for more information on the allocation agreement.

        2009 Capital Market Transactions—At November 30, 2009, Mortgage VI continued to meet the definition of a QSPE. However, as of December 1, 2009, Mortgage VI will no longer be a QSPE due to the adoption of newly issued GAAP as described in Note 2. When valuing the residual interest at November 30, 2009, it was anticipated that the loan held by Mortgage VI would remain in the QSPE through November 30, 2009. The discount rate utilized to discount (i) the monthly carry and (ii) the anticipated December 1, 2009, net disposition proceeds was, in each case, equal to the participant's lending rate. The fair value of the loan in Mortgage VI was estimated using a hypothetical whole loan sale at December 1, 2009, based on the forecasted yield curve and whole loan spreads. To minimize the volatility of earnings, the Company entered into an interest rate swap when the loan was originated, which was then novated to Mortgage VI. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated using the amount that the Company would realize if the swap was terminated at the expected sale date of the related loan taking into account expected swap interest rates and information obtained from counterparties and the Company's own current creditworthiness. In addition to the cash flows expected to be generated by the loan as noted above, the current assets and liabilities of the QSPE were considered when determining the residual interest fair value. At November 30, 2009, there was

$24,263,814 of additional cash collateral posted by Mortgage VI with the participant related to the loan and swap held by Mortgage VI in addition to the other assets and liabilities generated in the normal course of business.

        2008 Capital Market Transactions—At November 30, 2008, Mortgage VI was the only SPE which continued to meet the definition of a QSPE. When valuing the residual interest at November 30, 2008, it was anticipated that the loan held by Mortgage VI would remain in the QSPE through May 31, 2009. The discount rate utilized to discount (i) monthly carry and (ii) the anticipated May 31, 2009 net disposition proceeds was, in each case, equal to the participant's lending rate plus 100 basis points. This represents an extension of the estimated holding period between 2007 and 2008 resulting from changing market conditions and lack of liquidity in the current market. The fair value of the loan in Mortgage VI was estimated using a hypothetical whole loan sale at May 31, 2009, based on the forecasted yield curve and whole loan spreads. To minimize the volatility of earnings, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, which was then novated to the QSPE. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated using the amount that the Company would realize if the swap was terminated at the expected sale date of the related loan taking into account expected swap interest rates and information obtained from counterparties and the Company's own current creditworthiness. In addition to the cash flows expected to be generated by the loan as noted above, the current assets and liabilities of the QSPE were considered when determining the residual interest fair value. At November 30, 2008, there was $15,654,405 of additional cash collateral posted by Mortgage VI with the participants related to the loan and swap held by the QSPE in addition to the other assets and liabilities generated in the normal course of business of the QSPE. At November 30, 2008, the fair value of this residual interest held by CWF was $0. Gains or losses ultimately realized related to the Mortgage VI residual interest will be shared 20% by CWF and 80% by an affiliate of the Parent as described in Note 15.

        At November 30, 2008, it was believed that future changes in interest rates would have a minimal impact on the value of this residual interest due to the mitigating effect of the swap on the value of the loan.

        On May 23, 2008, Mortgage IV was restructured and on July 3, 2008, Mortgage I and Mortgage V were restructured in order to finance the assets held by these entities for an extended period. As a result of these restructurings, which required an increase in the guarantees and a modification to the governing documents, Mortgage I, Mortgage IV, and Mortgage V failed to meet the requirements of a QSPE on each of the respective restructure dates. This resulted in the loans being recombined on the financial statements of CWF. Also as a result of the restructuring, loans sold by the Company to Mortgage I, Mortgage IV, and Mortgage V failed the previous sales treatment. Due to the failure of sales treatment, loans held by Mortgage I, Mortgage IV, and Mortgage V and any related swaps held by these SPEs have been recorded on the financial statements of the Company at fair value on each of the respective restructure dates.

        Mortgage I, Mortgage IV, and Mortgage V are all considered VIEs. CWF is considered the primary beneficiary and accordingly, Mortgage IV was consolidated into CWF on May 23, 2008, Mortgage IV's "date of recognition" and Mortgage I and Mortgage V were consolidated into CWF on July 3, 2008, Mortgage I and Mortgage V's "date of recognition." As a result, the assets, liabilities,

interest income, interest expense, and other related expenses of Mortgage I, Mortgage IV, and Mortgage V earned since consolidation have been presented as a part of CWF's balance sheets and results of operations. CWF elected the fair value option at the date of recognition of Mortgage I, Mortgage IV and Mortgage V for the mortgage loans held for sale and associated debt.

        Under the Allocation Agreement (see Note 15), all related costs and benefits derived by CWF relative to the SPEs are allocated to the Company and recorded in 'allocation of expense from affiliate—net' in the statements of net loss.

        For Mortgage IV, the estimated fair value of the loans at November 30, 2008 was $120,068,592. For Mortgage I and Mortgage V, the estimated fair value of the loans at November 30, 2008 was $134,800,132 and $22,720,331, respectively. These assets are classified as 'mortgage loans held for sale' on the Company's balance sheets. The Company also records secured financings in amounts equal to the fair value of the loans on the SPEs, which are reflected in 'notes payable—related party' on the Company's balance sheets.

        The following noncash supplemental information summarizes the amounts that were recognized by the Company upon the consolidation of Mortgage I, Mortgage IV, and Mortgage V at their respective dates of recognition:

        The following provides quantitative information about components of transferred assets into QSPEs by the Company and cash activity between the QSPEs and CWF during each of the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008:

        Derivatives Counterparties and Credit Exposure—Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit risk related event, as defined by the existing derivative contracts. The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that are in a liability position at November 30, 2009, is $4,087,041. The Company and its affiliates have posted $3,876,384 as collateral for this exposure in the normal course of business as of November 30, 2009. Each change could trigger additional collateral requirements for the Company and its affiliates. If the credit risk related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on November 30, 2009, the Company or its affiliates would be required to post an additional $210,657 of collateral to its counterparties.

        The counterparty risk associated with a derivative transaction is that a counterparty will default on payments due to the Company. If there is a default, the Company may have to acquire a replacement derivative from a different counterparty at a higher cost or may be unable to find a suitable replacement. The Company's derivative credit exposure relates principally to interest rate derivative contracts. Typically, the Company seeks to manage these exposures by contracting with experienced counterparties that are rated A- (or its equivalent) or better. These counterparties consist of large banks, broker-dealers, and other financial institutions that have a significant presence in the derivatives market, most of which are based in the United States.

        The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to certain derivatives; however, the Company monitors the performance of the counterparties and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties.

The first mortgage warehousing demand line of credit is $175,000,000 and carries variable interest rate options, as defined in the line of credit agreement. The mortgage warehousing line is available to fund temporary advances under various mortgage programs. The line initially had a commitment of $125,000,000 and was temporarily increased to $175,000,000 from April 29, 2008 through June 5, 2008, and to $225,000,000 from June 27, 2008 to September 25, 2008. The mortgage warehousing line of credit matured on June 29, 2009, and was extended through July 31, 2009, and then through June 28, 2010, at a commitment of $125,000,000. On October 6, 2009, the commitment was permanently increased to $175,000,000. At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the unused portion of the line of credit was $117,969,548 and $117,604,474, respectively.



•

The second mortgage warehousing demand line of credit was entered into on May 16, 2008 and was originally $150,000,000. On June 3, 2009, this line was increased to $175,000,000. This line carries variable interest rate options, as defined in the line of credit agreement. The mortgage warehousing line is available to fund temporary advances under a certain mortgage program. There is no stated maturity date under the lending agreement. At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the unused portion of the line of credit was $175,000,000 and $138,957,921, respectively.



•

The third mortgage warehousing demand line of credit is $30,000,000 and was entered into on November 17, 2009. This line's interest rate is LIBOR plus a spread based on the product as defined in the line of credit agreement. The mortgage warehousing line is available to fund temporary advances under various mortgage programs. The line stated maturity date is November 17, 2011 under the lending agreement. At November 30, 2009, unused portion of the line of credit was $30,000,000.



•

The Company also had a temporary mortgage warehousing demand line of credit for $130,000,000 which was entered into on July 15, 2009. This line carried variable interest rate options, as defined in the line of credit agreement. The mortgage warehousing line was available to fund the temporary advance under a specific mortgage loan. The line matured on July 23, 2009.



•

The multiple advance line of credit is $17,137,500 at November 30, 2009, and was $15,000,000 at November 30, 2008, which is available for principal and interest advances, working capital advances, and servicing rights purchase advances. Each specific type is subject to an individual sub-limit up to the total committed line availability (principal and interest advances of $7,500,000, working capital advances of $7,500,000, and servicing rights purchase advances of $2,137,500. The servicing rights purchase advances sublimit was initially $2,250,000, but the sublimit reduces quarterly by $112,500 over five years until the sublimit is eliminated). The line is secured by a pledge of the servicing agreements held by the Company, except that the pledge related to the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae servicing agreements is junior and subordinate to the rights of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The line of credit agreement provides for variable interest rate options to be elected by the Company at the dates of the borrowings. The multiple advance line of credit matured on March 31, 2009, but was extended through June 29, 2009, then through July 31, 2009, and then through June 28, 2010. At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the unused portion of the line of credit was $15,000,000.

The second, third and fourth secured financings relate to debt of the SPEs that failed sales treatment and were recorded as secured financings (see Note 6). The first secured financing expired when the second, third and fourth secured financings were recorded.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN AND OTHER EMPLOYEE TRANSACTIONS

        The Company sponsors an employee tax-deferred 401(k) plan under which individual employee contributions to the plan are matched by the Company subject to terms of the plan. Amounts contributed by the Company for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, were $249,554 and $335,549, respectively, which are included in 'compensation expense' on the statements of net loss. Amounts contributed by the Company are subject to vesting and forfeiture, and may be returned to the Company upon termination of employment of the employee to the extent not vested.

        The Company has other receivables from officers and employees of $185,000 and $134,514 as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION

        Fair Value Measurements—Fair value measurements reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The use of "block discounts" for large holdings of unrestricted financial instruments are prohibited where quoted prices are readily and regularly available in an active market and requires a company to consider its creditworthiness when valuing derivatives and other liabilities recorded at fair value.

        The provisions of Topic 820 are applied prospectively with changes recorded in current earnings, except changes in fair value measurements that result from the initial application to certain existing financial instruments. The Company did not hold any of these instruments; therefore, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date ("exit price"). The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

Level 3—Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

        A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

        Determination of Fair Value—In determining fair value, the Company uses market prices of the same or similar instruments whenever such prices are available, even in situations where trading volume may be low when compared with prior periods. A fair value measurement assumes that an asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants; and accordingly, fair value is not determined based upon a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Where possible, the Company estimates fair value using other market observable data. Where the market price of the same or similar instruments is not available, the valuation of financial instruments becomes more subjective and involves a high degree of judgment. The following sections describe the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure classes of financial instruments at fair value and specify the level in the fair value hierarchy where various financial instruments are generally classified. Valuation models, significant inputs to those models and any significant assumptions are included where appropriate.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

        Restricted Cash—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

        Accounts Receivable—Carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

•

LOCOFV Assets—Fair value of mortgage loans held for sale for which fair value accounting was not elected was determined using management's judgment based on the intended exit strategy for the mortgage loans, including whole loan sales. These loans are generally held for short periods of time, usually less than 30 days, and are usually 'presold.' The Company obtained fair values using available market information and/or valuation methodologies and record any impairment through the statements of net loss. These mortgage loans held for sale are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

Assets at Fair Value—For certain loans, the Company has elected the fair value option. The fair value for these loans was determined by using management's judgment and a model where the significant inputs are the value of the underlying collateral, spread, and duration. The value of the underlying collateral was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Spread was determined through evaluating the loan to value of the underlying collateral and applying calibrated observable spreads to the Company's portfolio. These mortgage loans held for sale are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        MSRs—Fair value of MSRs was determined using management's judgment as well as information from a third party service provider and using a loan level discounted static cash flow analysis based on current market assumptions commonly used by buyers of these types of commercial/multifamily servicing, which are derived from prevailing conditions in the secondary servicing market. The MSRs are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Derivatives—The Company's derivatives are not listed on an exchange. As no quoted market prices exist for such instruments, derivatives are valued using internal valuation techniques using observable data. Valuation techniques and inputs to internally developed models depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying rate, price, or index upon which the derivative's value is based. Key inputs can include duration and index rate. Where model inputs can be observed in a liquid market and the model does not require significant judgment, such derivatives are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When instruments are traded in less liquid markets and significant inputs are unobservable, such derivatives are classified within Level 3. Additionally, significant judgments are required when classifying financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy, particularly between Levels 2 and 3, as is the case for certain derivatives. The following provides additional information about specific derivative instruments:

•

The fair value of rate locks was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the date the loan was locked to year end. The pull-through rate for rate locks was not material to the valuation. Rate locks are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of interest rate caps was determined by duration and index. Interest rate caps are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined by estimating the amount that the Company would have realized or paid if the Company had terminated the agreement at the financial statement date, with such estimation based on the value obtained from Bloomberg, an industry standard vendor service for pricing financial instruments, including interest rate swaps. For each swap, the key input variables to Bloomberg are notional amount, fixed rate, effective date, maturity date, and floating rate convention (i.e., one month LIBOR vs. three month LIBOR). Interest rate swaps are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.



•

The fair value of commitments to sell securities was determined by reviewing the index yield change from the time the sale commitment was entered into to the date of the financial statements. Commitments to sell securities are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Notes Payable—Fair value of debt was determined based on information observable in the market calibrated to the specific instrument through management judgment and management's estimate of the value of the underlying collateral. It is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Notes Payable—Related Party—Fair value of the secured financings was determined using management's judgment based on the related mortgage loans held for sale that secure the notes payable—related party. They are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Level 3 Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis—The determination to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is based on the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. However, in addition to unobservable inputs, the valuation of Level 3 instruments typically includes observable inputs as well. Thus, the gains and losses reflected in the rollforward of balances in the tables on the following pages include changes in fair value that are due at least partially to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Additionally, the Company uses derivatives classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy to manage certain risk characteristics of Level 3 financial instruments. Because Level 2 instruments are not included in this discussion or in the rollforward, gains and losses may appear to reflect a certain degree of volatility when presented exclusive of related Level 2 derivatives that may be used to offset risk in Level 3 instruments.

        The following table presents the changes in the Level 3 assets and liabilities for the year ended November 30, 2009 and 2008:

        Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in the Company's statements of net loss for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, for Level 3 assets and liabilities reported in the Company's balance sheets at fair value are presented in the table as follows:

        Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis—Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. These instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and include assets such as mortgage loans held for sale that have been deemed impaired.

        There were no financial instruments held on the balance sheet at November 30, 2008, by level within the fair value hierarchy for which a nonrecurring change in fair value was recorded during the year ended November 30, 2008. Mortgage loans held for sale with a carrying amount of $562,750 were written down to their fair value of $442,463, resulting in a loss of $120,287, which is included in earnings for the year ended November 30, 2009. Because certain items, such as MSRs, are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, certain carrying amounts may no longer represent the fair value at November 30, 2009 and 2008. The following table presents financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at November 30, 2009 and 2008:

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OPTION (Continued)

        Fair Value Option—Companies may make an irrevocable election to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value reported in the results of operations. The election to carry an instrument at fair value is made at the individual contract level and can be made only at origination or inception of the instrument, or upon the occurrence of an event that results in a new basis of accounting.

        On December 1, 2007, loan sale commitments for fixed rate loans entered into after the election date were elected to be carried at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value reported in the results of operations. As these loan sale commitments were not considered derivatives prior to adoption and were not recorded on the financial statements, no transition adjustment was required. This election was intended to decrease earnings volatility and to match the related rate lock.

        During the year ended November 30, 2008, the Company elected fair value for certain newly reacquired mortgage loans held for sale that the Company had originated and sold into QSPEs, as well as the warehouse debt related to those mortgage loans held for sale. These elections were made to decrease earnings volatility and match the loan with the related debt. See Note 6 and Note 11 for additional information on these transactions.

        The following table presents gains and losses due to changes in fair value for items measured at fair value pursuant to election of the fair value option for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008:

        The above amounts do not include interest and dividends earned during the period. Such interest and dividends are recorded in interest income or interest expense on an accrual basis. Additionally, amounts do not reflect associated derivatives.

        For the year ended November 30, 2009, the estimated change in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and related master participation agreement and related loan and security agreement for which the fair value was elected that was attributable to changes in instrument-specific risk was a loss of $11,476,620.

        For the year ended November 30, 2008, there was no estimated change in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and related secured financing for which the fair value option was elected that was

attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The total gain (loss) is derived by subtracting the mortgage loan's current fair value from the fair value of the prior period, adjusting for principal pay downs (the "Total Fair Value Change"). The Total Fair Value Change is then allocated between instrument-specific and market-specific credit risk. To determine the instrument-specific credit risk, the Company compares the underlying property-level valuation change from the current marking period to the prior marking period. The absolute property-level change is used to determine the instrument-specific credit risk. The market-specific credit risk is calculated by subtracting the instrument-specific credit risk from the Total Fair Value Change.

        As of November 30, 2009, the aggregate fair value of mortgage loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected was $133,113,499, less than the aggregate unpaid contractual principal amount. There are seven loans with a remaining unpaid principal balance of $50,494,395 that are 90 days or more past due. The Company has estimated their fair value at $7,386,181 as of November 30, 2009, and has fully reserved against interest due on the loans.

        As of November 30, 2008, the aggregate fair value of mortgage loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected was $70,346,704, less than the aggregate unpaid contractual principal amount. There was one loan with a remaining unpaid principal balance of $794,512 that was 90 days or more past due. The Company has estimated its fair value at $0 as of November 30, 2008, and has fully reserved against any interest due on the loan.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Legal Contingencies—At November 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no legal contingencies that require disclosure in the financial statements or the recording of a liability.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        The Company assumes a risk generally not to exceed 20% of the principal balances with respect to certain Fannie Mae loans and generally not to exceed 8% with respect to Freddie Mac affordable loans. At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded a liability of $2,898,565 and $1,293,109, respectively, as a reserve under these loss-sharing arrangements recorded in 'accrued expenses and other liabilities' in the balance sheets.

        Pursuant to various compliance requirements, the Company is required to maintain capital resources based on the total outstanding unpaid principal balances of mortgages issued and serviced. The most restrictive of these minimum net worth requirements is that of the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program which required the Company to maintain minimum net worth of approximately $15.1 million and $13.1 million at November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had net worth, computed in accordance with the Fannie Mae DUS program requirements of $64,510,346 and $65,870,094, respectively. If the Company was required to comply only with the minimum required net worth requirements as a HUD Title II Nonsupervised Mortgagee, the Company would be required to maintain $4,185,040 and $3,798,068 of net worth for November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

        Restricted Cash—At November 30, 2009, the Company had restricted cash of $2,000,000 at a bank, which is collateral for a $4,000,000 letter of credit supporting its Fannie Mae Lender Reserve pursuant to the Loss Sharing Obligation with Fannie Mae.

        Also at November 30, 2009, the Company had $160,978 in cash collateral posted related to swaps entered into with a financial institution in order to protect against interest rate movements in relation to two fixed rate B-notes held by the Company.

        Lease Commitments—The Company leases office space under operating leases. Future minimum lease commitments under these leases at November 30, 2009, are as follows:

        Rent expense for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, was $1,737,099 and $2,125,323, respectively.

        Loan Closing Costs on Deposit—At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company held deposits amounting to $2,002,979 and $2,259,557, respectively. These amounts are included in the Company's cash balance as the deposit can be used to fund costs incurred by the Company during the course of underwriting and closing a loan.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        Representations and Warranties on Sales of Loans—The Company, in the ordinary course of business, issues certain representations and warranties in connection with the sale of mortgages. Such representations and warranties relate to the quality and condition of the documentation supporting each loan at the point of sale and not to recourse provisions, if any, of the mortgages' sale agreement. The Company has evaluated the fair value of these representations and warranties and has determined that the liability is immaterial to the financial statements.

15. ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

        The Company has an allocation agreement with CWF related to the loans that the Company originates and sells to the QSPEs as well as for the assets and liabilities recombined in CWF's financial statements in connection with the SPEs that failed to meet QSPE status as described in Note 6. While CWF owns 100% of the equity of the QSPEs and SPEs, and therefore owns the residual interest in the QSPEs and the SPEs assets and liabilities, the changes in the fair value of the investment in residual interests and of the fair value of the SPEs assets and liabilities are based on the changes in value of the underlying loans which were originated and sold by the Company. Therefore, the Company has agreed that all changes related to the fair value for the SPEs and QSPEs will be reflected in the Company's statements of net loss. Additionally, CWF entered into certain total rate of return swap ("TRS") transactions to mitigate the risk of the eventual securitization of assets sold by the Company to the QSPEs. All income and expense related to the TRS is reflected in the Company's statements of net loss. Also all fees, costs and reimbursements under the reimbursement agreements between CDP and CWF are reported through the Company's statements of net loss. The intent of the agreement is to recognize the costs and revenues related to loans originated by the Company in statements of net loss.

        The amounts reflected in 'allocation of expense from affiliates—net' are as follows:

        Additionally, CWF and CDP have agreed to share certain losses related to loans held by the SPEs and QSPEs owned by CWF as more fully described in Note 6. CWF and CDP agreed to modify the terms of the reimbursement agreement effective July 1, 2008, and these amended terms are reflected in the Company's November 30, 2009 financial statements. The new agreement sets forth the manner in which profits and losses are to be shared for the assets remaining in the SPE and QSPE entities. All profits and losses related to the loans will be shared 80% by an affiliate of CDP and 20% by CWF. Any cash contributions required by the SPEs and QSPEs to fund shortfalls will be contributed in the same ratio.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company had accounts receivable outstanding with CDP and its affiliates of $9,639 and $98,808 as of November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This represents miscellaneous charges due to the Company.

        The Company had accounts receivable outstanding with ARA of $3,065 as of November 30, 2009. This represents fees for accounting services provided by the Company.

        At November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a noninterest bearing receivable due from Parent of $3,519,250 and a payable due to Parent of $13,820,874, respectively, which is primarily composed of amounts due under the allocation agreement described in Note 15.

        During 2009 and 2008, the Company deemed $21,500,000 and $34,383,276, respectively, of amounts previously borrowed from the Parent and recorded as 'due to Parent' as contributions from Member.

        The Company shares office facilities and personnel with the Parent and other subsidiaries of the Parent. Accordingly, the related costs of such arrangements have been allocated among the various subsidiaries in a manner which management believes is representative of the actual costs incurred.

        If the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity, the results of operations could be different.

        Amounts earned from or paid to the Company's affiliates for the year ended November 30, 2009, are as follows:

The Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the date of this Agreement, and the commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, modified or rescinded in any respect prior to the date of this Agreement. The Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Purchaser and, to Parent's Knowledge, the other parties thereto. There are no conditions precedent or contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, and there are no side letters or other contracts or arrangements (oral or written) related to the Financing other than the Debt Commitment Letter and the related fee letter.

As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Purchaser is aware of any fact or occurrence that makes any of the assumptions, or the representations or warranties of the Purchaser or Parent in the Debt Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect. The Purchaser has fully paid all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid as of the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter.

        (a)   Prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause Parent Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board to take all actions (including making any filings and disclosures, and taking any other actions, necessary to comply with applicable Law and NYSE Rules) so that, at any time following the Closing, without any further action by Parent or the Parent Board, Seller shall have the right to cause (i) the Parent Board to be increased from eight (8) members to eleven (11) members and (ii) up to two (2) individuals designated by the Seller or its equityholders, as soon as reasonably possible after the date on which Seller or its equityholders elects to exercise such right (and in any event not later than two (2) days thereafter (each such individual, and any successor thereto, substitute therefor or replacement thereof designated by the Seller or its equityholders as provided herein, being referred to herein as a "Board Designee" and collectively as the "Board Designees") become members of the Parent Board, filling the vacancies created by the increase in the size of the Parent Board.

        (b)   Promptly following the request of the Parent Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof (which request shall, in the case of any individual designated by the Seller pursuant to Section 6.10(a), be deemed to have been made immediately upon such designation), any individual designated by the Seller for election (including pursuant to Section 6.10(a)) as a director shall (i) furnish (A) a completed director and officer questionnaire with respect to the background and qualifications of such person, substantially in the form provided to and requested to be completed by the then current members of the Parent Board, and (B) such nominee's consent to Parent's engaging in a background check of such nominee

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, in the event that the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board and consultation with outside legal counsel, that its nomination, appointment or election of a particular Board Designee (including a Board Designee designated by the Seller from the list of potential candidates set forth on Schedule C pursuant to Section 6.10(a)) would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Parent Stockholders (provided that any such determination with respect to any individual designated by the Seller pursuant to Section 6.10(a) shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after the individual's compliance with the first sentence of this Section 6.10(b)), then the Parent Board shall inform the Seller of such determination in writing and explain in reasonable detail the basis for such determination and shall nominate another individual designated for nomination, election or appointment to the Parent Board by the Seller (subject in each case to this Section 6.10(b)) and the Parent Board and Parent shall take all of the actions required by this Section 6.10 with respect to the election of such substitute Board Designee, effective immediately following the Seller's request to appoint such substitute Board Designee. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the fact that a particular Board Designee is an affiliate, director, professional or agent of the Seller or of any of its Affiliates, shall not in and of itself constitute an acceptable basis for such a determination by Parent Board.

        (c)   Subject to Section 6.10(d), at the annual meeting of shareholders of Parent to be held during the 2013 and 2014 calendar years, or at any special meeting of shareholders of Parent held prior to Parent's 2014 annual meeting of shareholders at which directors of Parent are to be elected, or at any taking of action by written consent of shareholders of the Company prior to Parent's 2014 annual meeting of shareholders with respect to which directors of Parent are to be elected (each a "Director Election"), the Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to designate two (2) nominees for election to the Board of Directors (such nominee, the "Seller Nominees") at such Director Elections. At or prior to any Director Election: (i) Parent's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or any other committee exercising a similar function) shall recommend to the Parent Board the nomination of the Seller Nominees for election to the Parent Board, and (ii) the Parent Board shall recommend to the Parent Stockholders the election of the Seller Nominees to the Parent Board. Parent shall exercise all authority under applicable Law to cause the Seller Nominees to be elected to the Parent Board at any Director Election, including, without limitation, using its reasonable efforts to solicit from the shareholders of Parent eligible to vote in the election of directors of Parent proxies in favor of the Seller Nominee.

        (d)   At any time that Seller and its Affiliates (which, solely for purposes of this Section 6.10, shall include Fortress Investment Group LLC and its Affiliates) cease to collectively own, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the Parent Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby), Seller shall forfeit the right to nominate and appoint one (1) Board Designee, effective as of the next Parent Stockholder Meeting at which directors are elected. At any time that Seller and its Affiliates (which, solely for purposes of this Section 6.10, shall include Fortress Investment Group LLC and its Affiliates) cease to collectively own, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the Parent Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby), Seller shall forfeit the right to nominate and appoint one (1) Board Designee, effective as of the next Parent Stockholder Meeting at which directors are elected. Each Seller Nominee shall be entitled to receive the same

annual cash and equity consideration as is paid to the other directors of the Parent Board during any year during which such Seller Nominee serves on the Parent Board.

        (e)   Any Board Designee shall be subject to applicable confidentiality requirements and other policies of Parent generally applicable to members of the Parent Board (including Parent's insider trading and disclosure policies) as in effect from time to time, at any time while he or she is on the Parent Board to the same extent as the other directors on the Parent Board. With respect to each Board Designee, Parent shall enter into an indemnification agreement with and for the benefit of such Board Designee, in each case, in form and substance that is no less favorable to such Board Designee as the most director favorable indemnification agreement to which Parent is a party as of the date of this Agreement. The Seller shall be entitled to assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any of its Affiliates.

        6.11    Financing.

        (b)   All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company obtained by the Purchaser or its representatives or Financing Sources pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that the Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to disclose information as necessary and consistent with customary practices in connection with the Financing upon the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If all conditions to the lenders' obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied or, upon funding will be satisfied, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and the other Persons providing such Financing to fund on the Closing Date, the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, in the Purchaser's judgment, by taking enforcement action, including seeking specific performance, to cause such lenders and the other Persons providing such Financing to fund such Financing).

the relevant representations and warranties shall not expire but solely as to such claim, and such claim may be pursued until the final resolution of such claim in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9.

        (c)   The Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 9.1(a)(i) and, solely with respect to covenants to be performed prior to the Closing Date, Section 9.1(a)(ii), unless and until the Losses incurred by all Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant thereto exceed, in the aggregate, $3,000,000 (the "Deductible"), in which case the Seller shall be liable, subject to Section 9.1(d), (e) and (f), to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party for the full amount of the Losses in excess of the Deductible.

        (d)   The aggregate amount required to be paid by the Seller for claims for indemnification made under Section 9.1(a)(i) and, solely with respect to covenants to be performed prior to the Closing Date, Section 9.1(a)(ii) shall not exceed Twenty-Two Million Dollars ($22,000,000).

        (e)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Sections 9.1(c) and 9.1(d) shall not apply to Losses in connection with, resulting from or arising out of directly or indirectly, any inaccuracy in or breach of a Seller Fundamental Representation or any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.7, any breach of a covenant required to be performed following the Closing or fraud with respect to Seller's or the Company's representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, (ii) no indemnification payment made by the Seller with respect to any matter described in clause (i) of this subsection (e) shall be included in calculating whether the cap in Sections 9.1(d) has been met and (iii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of legal expenses for which Seller is responsible under Section 9.1(a)(v) exceed $100,000 from and after the Closing Date until the first anniversary of the Closing Date or $100,000 from and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date until the second anniversary of the Closing Date and Parent shall have reasonable discretion as to how such legal expenses are used for purposes of defending the Company against the Commingled Litigation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the time frame during which Seller is required to deliver such Losses shall be concurrent with the time frame in which Seller is able to sell such shares of Parent Common Stock to a bona fide third party purchaser.

        (f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay any amounts in satisfaction of claims for indemnification under the provisions of this Agreement in excess of an amount equal to the Seller's Consideration actually received by the Seller in the aggregate.

        9.3    Indemnification Procedure.     

        (a)   No Indemnified Party may seek indemnification under this Article 9, unless such Indemnified Party shall have first delivered written notice to the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be (for purposes of this Article 9, the "Indemnifying Party") of the facts and circumstances (set forth in reasonable detail) giving rise to the claim within the applicable survival period for such claim as set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as applicable.

        (b)   If any Claim shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article 9 (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such Third Party Claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, may assume and control the defense thereof at the Indemnifying Party's expense (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party is permitted to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim and elects to do so, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has specifically agreed in writing otherwise, (B) the Indemnified Party has been advised by outside counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a material conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (C) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; in which case the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party's counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement or consent to any judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless (i) such settlement or judgment involves monetary damages only, all of which will be paid (subject to the limitations of this Article 9) by the Indemnifying Party and there is no admission of fault or culpability on behalf of any Indemnified Party, and (ii) a term of the settlement or judgment is that the Person or Persons asserting such Third Party Claim unconditionally and irrevocably release all Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim; otherwise, the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required in order to enter into any settlement of, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, any Third Party Claim. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Article 9 shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Party entitled to receive such notice was directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and/or is not controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim for any reason, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may not enter into a settlement or consent to any judgment of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

        (c)   Any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification other than indemnification against a Third Party Claim will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof, and

65

Table of Contents

the Indemnifying Party will have a period of sixty (60) calendar days within which to respond to such claims. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such sixty (60) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted such claim.

        9.4    Materiality Qualifiers.     For purposes of determining the amount of Losses arising from a breach for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 (but not for purposes of determining whether an indemnifiable breach has occurred), all qualifications contained in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are based on materiality (including all usages of "material," "Material Adverse Effect" or similar qualifiers) will be disregarded.

        9.5    Investigation.     An Indemnified Party's right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of another Party contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by such Indemnified Party or any of its representatives or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any such Indemnified Party or its representatives, in each case, at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing.

        9.6    No Right of Contribution.     

        (a)   Effective upon the Closing, the Seller waives, and acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other similar right or remedy against the Company in connection with any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company or the Seller set forth in this Agreement.

        9.7    Payment.     

        (a)   Any indemnification obligation under this Agreement for any Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party from any third party with respect thereto, reduced by the amount of any expenses and increase in applicable premiums/retro-premiums related to the recovery of such proceeds. In the event that any insurance or other recovery is recognized or received by any Indemnified Party with respect to any indemnification obligation for which any such Indemnified Party has been indemnified under this Agreement, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (up to the aggregate amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnification obligation) shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party, net of any expenses and increase in applicable premiums/retro-premiums related to the recovery of such proceeds.

        (b)   Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 shall be made promptly upon a final settlement among the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties or upon a final adjudication determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that an indemnification obligation is owed by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party under this Article 9.

        9.8    Adjustment to Consideration.     Any indemnification received under this Article 9 shall be treated by Purchaser and the Seller and their respective Affiliates, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, as an adjustment to the consideration received by the Seller.

        9.9    Exclusive Remedy.     Other than the rights of the Parties to seek specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, or in the case of fraud with respect to the Parties' respective representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement set forth the exclusive rights and remedies of the Parties to seek or obtain damages or any other remedy or relief from any Party with respect to matters arising under this Agreement after the Closing.

Annex B

June 7, 2012

The Board of Directors
Walker & Dunlop, Inc.
7501 Wisconsin Avenue
Bethesda, Maryland 20814

Members of the Board:

        You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (the "Parent") of the Consideration (as defined below) to be paid in the proposed Purchase (the "Purchase") by Walker & Dunlop LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "Purchaser") of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of CW Capital LLC (the "Target Interests") from CW Financial Services LLC, (the "Seller") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated as of June 7, 2012, by and among the Parent, Purchaser, Seller and the Target (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Seller will be entitled to receive in aggregate, $80 million in cash and 11,647,255 shares of Walker & Dunlop, Inc. common stock par value $0.01 per share (the "Consideration"), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Purchase are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

        Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., has acted as financial advisor to the Parent. As part of our investment banking business, we are continually engaged in the valuation of financial services companies in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of financial services companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of mortgage finance and commercial real estate finance companies. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Seller, Target and Parent, and as a market maker in securities, we may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Parent for our own account and for the accounts of our customers. To the extent we have any such positions as of the date of this opinion it has been disclosed to Parent. We have acted exclusively for the Board of Directors of Parent in rendering this fairness opinion and will receive a fee from Parent for our services. A portion of our fee is contingent upon the successful completion of the Purchase.

        In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of Target and Parent and the Purchase, including among other things, the following: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the audited financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2011 of the Target and the Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2011 of Parent; (iii) certain interim reports of Target and certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Parent and certain other communications from Target and Parent to their respective securityholders; and (iv) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of Target and Parent furnished to us by Target and Parent for purposes of our analysis. We have also held discussions with senior management of Target and Parent regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory and government sponsored entity relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market information for Parent and certain financial information of Target with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the

financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial real estate finance industry and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

        In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assumed any responsibility for such verification or accuracy. We have relied upon the management of Target and Parent as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and bases therefore) provided to us, and we have assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We are not experts in the independent verification of the value of mortgage servicing rights or of the adequacy of allowances for loan losses and we have assumed, with your consent that the aggregate allowances for loan losses for Target and Parent are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the property, assets or liabilities (including, but not limited to, the mortgage servicing rights) of Target or Parent, nor have we examined any individual credit files.

        We have assumed that, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) the Purchase will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement with no additional payments or adjustments to the Consideration; (ii) the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct; (iii) each party to the Agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) all conditions to the completion of the Purchase will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the Agreement; and (v) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Purchase, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the Purchase, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the Purchase.

        We have considered such financial and other factors as we have deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of Target and Parent; (ii) the assets and liabilities of Target and Parent; and (iii) the nature and terms of certain other transactions involving mortgage finance and commercial real estate finance companies. We have also taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the financial services industry generally. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Parent to engage in the Purchase, or the relative merits of the Purchase as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Parent.

        This opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the Parent of the Consideration in the Purchase. We express no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects of the Purchase.

        Further, we are not expressing any opinion about the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of Parent's or Target's officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the other securityholders of the Target in connection with the Purchase.

        In addition, we express no view or opinion as to how the stockholders of Parent should vote at the stockholders meeting to be held in connection with the Purchase.

        This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 2290 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration in the Purchase is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent.

The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders of Registrable Securities, provided that the Company promptly deliver written notice of such withdrawal to each Holder. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 4.

        (a)   Notwithstanding Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Holder not to sell under a Registration Statement or suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that such registration and/or offering would materially and adversely affect any offering of securities of the Company, or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information which the Company has a bona fide business

purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the Company's reasonable determination, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance a "Suspension Event"); provided, however, that the Company may not delay, suspend or withdraw such Registration Statement for more than sixty (60) days at any one time, or more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, or more than three times in any two year period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of (i) the happening of any Suspension Event during the period the Registration Statement is effective or (ii) the Suspension Event resulting in the Registration Statement or related Prospectus containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the Prospectus) not misleading, each Holder agrees, subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, (x) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under any Registration Statement until such Holder receives copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (y) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in the written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or other inquiry from any governmental or regulatory authority. If so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice, other than permanent file copies then in the possession of the Holder's counsel.

        (b)   If all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date taking into account any permissible extension, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement shall be suspended until the date on which the Company has filed such reports, and the Company shall (i) file all such reports as promptly as practicable and (ii) notify the Holders in writing as promptly as practicable when such suspension is no longer required.

        2.4    Qualification.     The Company shall file such documents as necessary to register or qualify the Registrable Securities to be covered by a Registration Statement by the time such Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder or underwriter of the securities being sold by any such Holder may reasonably request in writing, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to this Agreement or during the period offers or sales are being made by the Holders, whichever is shorter, and to do any and all other similar acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holders or such underwriter to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in each such jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement, (ii) take any action that would cause it to become subject to any taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject to such taxation or (iii) take any action that would subject it to the general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

        (a)   (i) subject to Section 2.1 and 2.2, prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and cause the Registration Statement to be effective, and (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary (A) to keep the Registration Statement effective and (B) to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, in each case for such time as is contemplated in Section 2.1;

        (b)   furnish to each Holder and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Holder such number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), and the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus and any summary Prospectus and any other Prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in each case in customary printed form, and such other documents as such Holder and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder;

        (2)   a "comfort" letter (or, in the case of any such Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of a "comfort" letter specified in AU Section 634 of the AICPA Professional Standards, an "agreed upon procedures" letter) signed by the independent registered public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement (and, if necessary, any other independent registered public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or any business acquired by the Company from which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the registration statement);

        (i)    in connection with any Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Company shall promptly make available for inspection by any Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by any Holder or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such Holder or underwriter to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement promptly; provided, however, that, unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not be required to provide any information under this clause (i) if (y) the Company believes, after consultation with counsel for the Company, that to do so would cause the Company to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (z) if either (1) the Company has requested and been granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the Commission or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (2) the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing unless prior to furnishing any such information with respect to (y) or (z) such Holder requesting such information agrees, and causes each of its Inspectors, to enter into a

confidentiality agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company; and provided, further, that each Holder agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

        (j)    if requested by any Holder participating in the offering of Registrable Securities, incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information concerning such Holder or the intended method of distribution as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and is reasonably necessary to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other material terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to include in any such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment any requested information that is not required by the rules of the Commission and is unreasonable in scope compared with the Company's most recent Prospectus or Prospectus supplement used in connection with a primary or secondary offering of equity securities by the Company;

        (k)   in connection with any Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.1(d), if requested by any underwriter, (i) agree, and cause the Company, to be bound by customary "lock-up" agreements restricting the ability to dispose of Company securities, and (ii) request that any directors or officers of the Company agree to be bound by customary "lock-up" agreements restricting the ability to dispose of Company securities;

        (n)   use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to Holders, as promptly as practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with the first day of the Company's first full quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

SECTION 3. INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION

        3.1    Indemnification by the Company.     The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and any of their partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, as follows:

          (i)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which the Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

         (ii)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation by any Person, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

        (iii)  against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation by any Person, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 3.1 does not apply to any Holder with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of (A) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (the "Holder Information"), or (B) such Holder's failure to deliver to any purchaser of the Registrable Securities an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to

Table of Contents

such Holder by the Company, if such loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.

        3.2    Indemnification by Holder.     Each Holder (and each assignee of such Holder), severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors and officers (including each director and officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement), each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other Holder as follows:

          (i)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which the Registrable Securities of such Holder were registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

         (ii)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation by any Person, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Holder; and

        (iii)  against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation by any Person, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that the indemnity provided pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall only apply with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of (A) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Holder Information or (B) such Holder's failure to deliver to any purchaser of the Registrable Securities an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to such Holder by the Company, if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.2, each Holder and any assignee shall not be required to indemnify the Company, its officers, directors or control persons with respect to any amount in excess of the amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder or assignee, as the case may be, from sales of the Registrable Securities of such Holder under the Registration Statement that is the subject of the indemnification claim.

        3.3    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.     An indemnified party hereunder shall give reasonably prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Sections 3.1 or 3.2, unless and only to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party

11

Table of Contents

from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Sections 3.1 or 3.2, to the extent provided in clause (i) above. If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party's own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the indemnified party unless such settlement, compromise or consent secures the unconditional release of the indemnified party of all liability or obligations at no cost or expense to the indemnified party; and provided further, that, if the indemnified party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel as selected by the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party's expense. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the indemnifying party's counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying party's defense and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the indemnified party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as selected by the indemnified party. In such event, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes and conducts reasonably and in good faith, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

        3.4    Contribution.     

        (a)   In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified party although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the relevant Holder shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and each Holder, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Holder on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

        (b)   The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.4, a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from sales of the Registrable Securities of such Holder under the Registration Statement that is the subject of the indemnification claim.

        (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 3.4, each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

SECTION 4. EXPENSES

        The Company shall pay all expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations under Section 2, including (i) Commission, stock exchange and FINRA registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities or "blue sky" laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter incurred in connection with "blue sky" qualifications of the Registrable Securities as may be set forth in any underwriting agreement), (iii) all printing (including expenses of printing certificates, if any, for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses and Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses is requested by a Holder or underwriter of Registrable Securities), copying, messenger and delivery expenses (iv) the fees, charges and expenses of counsel to the Company and of its independent public accountants and any other accounting fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including any expenses arising from any "comfort" letters, "agreed upon procedures letters," opinions or any special audits incident to or required by any registration or qualification), (v) the fees, charges and expenses of one firm of counsel for the Holders (which firm shall be selected by the Holders selling in such registration that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration), (vi) except as provided in the immediately following sentence, the fees and expenses (including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes) of every nationally recognized investment bank engaged in connection with a registration under Section 2.2 and (vii) any expenses described in clauses (i) through (vi) incurred in connection with the marketing and sale of Registrable Securities, regardless of whether a registration is effected, marketing is commenced or sale is made. Each Holder selling under such Registration Statement shall be responsible for the payment of its portion of all underwriting discounts and commissions, fees and disbursements of the Holder's counsel, accountants and other advisors (except as contemplated by the preceding sentence), and any transfer taxes relating to the sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement. The Company will pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties, the expense of any annual audit and the expense of any liability insurance) and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange and included in each established over-the-counter market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded.

SECTION 5. RULE 144 COMPLIANCE

        The Company covenants that it will use its best efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so as to enable the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition by a Holder of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company shall cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such Registrable Securities to be for such number of shares and registered in such names as such Holder may reasonably request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities hereunder.

Re:    Modification of Term Loan Facility

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Reference is hereby made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2009 (as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, the "Term Loan Agreement"), among Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (in either and each such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), Bank of America and PNC Bank, National Association, successor to National City Bank ("PNC"), as the lenders thereunder (collectively, the "Existing Lenders"), and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to all amendments thereto and written consents and waivers thereunder granted by the Administrative Agent and the Existing Lenders thereunder, Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (the "Borrower" or "WDINC"), Walker & Dunlop Multifamily, Inc. ("W&D Multifamily"), and Walker & Dunlop, LLC ("WDLLC").

        The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that it desires to pursue the transaction (the "CW Transaction") generally described in the Project Siri Non-Binding Summary of Transaction Terms attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Transaction Term Sheet").

        Capitalized terms used in this letter (this "Commitment Letter") without definition have the meanings respectively specified therefor in the Term Loan Agreement or the Transaction Term Sheet, as applicable and as the context requires. In addition, when used herein the terms "you" (and correlative terms, such as "your") means the Borrower, and "us" (and correlative terms, such as "we" and "our") means Bank of America.

        In order to be in a position to close on the CW Transaction, if a Closing is to occur, the Borrower has requested Bank of America (as Administrative Agent and as a Lender, as applicable) to commit to (a) amend the Term Loan Agreement in order to provide for an increase in the amount of the Term Loan to the aggregate sum of $83,000,000, and (b) in connection therewith, lend the Borrower such additional principal amount under the increased Term Loan commitment as shall be necessary in order to result in the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan equaling $83,000,000, the proceeds of such loan to be used solely for the purposes set forth in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached as Exhibit B hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Summary of Terms").

        Bank of America is pleased to offer its commitment to enter into the amendment and to make the loan to the Borrower described in the immediately preceding paragraph, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter and in the Summary of Terms. The resulting term loan credit facility, after giving effect to such additional loan made by Bank of America, the repayment by the Borrower of all amounts due to PNC under the Term Loan Agreement, the amendments to the Term Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents required pursuant to and otherwise contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Summary of Terms, and the consummation of all related transactions, is referred to herein as the "Senior Term Loan Facility." Bank of America reserves the right, in its discretion, to establish the Senior Term Loan Facility as a new term loan facility in the amount of $83,000,000, in replacement of, and a portion of the proceeds of which would be used to pay in full all obligations to the Existing Lenders under, the existing Term Loan.

        Bank of America will continue to act as the sole Administrative Agent for the Senior Term Loan Facility, and will be the sole lender thereunder (in such capacity, the "Lender").

You agree to furnish us with further and supplemental information from time to time until the date of the borrowing under the Senior Term Loan Facility (the "Closing Date") so that the representations warranties and covenants in the immediately preceding sentence are correct on the Closing Date as if the Projections and Information were being furnished, and such representations, warranties and covenants were being

In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. You also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you or your subsidiaries or affiliates or to your or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or directly from a material breach of this Commitment Letter.

        3.1.    Board.     

        The Board shall have such powers and authorities related to the administration of the Plan as are consistent with the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Applicable Laws. The Board shall have full power and authority to take all actions and to make all determinations required or provided for under the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to take all such other actions and make all such other determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of the Plan that the Board deems to be necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement. All such actions and determinations shall be by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board present at a meeting or by unanimous consent of the Board executed in writing in accordance with the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Applicable Laws. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.

        3.2.    Committee.     

        The Board from time to time may delegate to the Committee such powers and authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as set forth in Section 3.1 above and other applicable provisions, as the Board shall determine, consistent with the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and Applicable Laws.

          (i)  Except as provided in Subsection (ii) and except as the Board may otherwise determine, the Committee, if any, appointed by the Board to administer the Plan shall consist of two or more Outside Directors of the Company who: (a) qualify as "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and who (b) meet such other requirements as may be established from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission for plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act and who (c) comply with the independence requirements of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.

         (ii)  The Board may also appoint one or more separate committees of the Board, each composed of one or more directors of the Company who need not be Outside Directors, who may administer the Plan with respect to employees or other Service Providers who are not executive officers (as defined under Rule 3b-7 or the Exchange Act) or directors of the Company, may grant Awards under the Plan to such employees or other Service Providers, and may determine all terms of such Awards, subject to the requirements of Code Section 162(m), Rule 16b-3 and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

        In the event that the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement entered into hereunder provides for any action to be taken by or determination to be made by the Board, such action may be taken or such determination may be made by a Committee if the power and authority to do so has been delegated to such Committee by the Board as provided for in this Section. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, any such action or determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

        3.3.    Terms of Awards.     

        Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board shall have full and final authority to:

          (i)  designate Grantees;

         (ii)  determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee;

        (iii)  determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Award;

6

Table of Contents

        (iv)  establish the terms and conditions of each Award (including, but not limited to, the exercise price of any Option, the nature and duration of any restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof) relating to the vesting, exercise, transfer, or forfeiture of an Award or the shares of Stock subject thereto, the treatment of an Award in the event of a Change in Control, and any terms or conditions that may be necessary to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options);

         (v)  prescribe the form of each Award Agreement evidencing an Award; and

        (vi)  amend, modify, or supplement the terms of any outstanding Award. Such authority specifically includes the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan but without amending the Plan, to make or modify Awards to eligible individuals who are foreign nationals or are individuals who are employed outside the United States to recognize differences in local law, tax policy, or custom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or supplement of any Award shall, without the consent of the Grantee, impair the Grantee's rights under such Award.

        The Board shall have the right, in its discretion, to make Awards in substitution or exchange for any other award under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate. The Committee may retain the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee on account of actions taken by the Grantee in violation or breach of or in conflict with any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees or clients of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified in such Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee. Furthermore, the Company may annul an Award if the Grantee is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate thereof and is terminated for Cause as defined in the applicable Award Agreement or the Plan or any other agreement with the Grantee, as applicable.

        Any Award granted pursuant to this Plan is subject to mandatory repayment by the Grantee to the Company to the extent the Grantee is or in the future becomes subject to any Company "clawback" or recoupment policy that requires the repayment by the Grantee to the Company of compensation paid by the Company to the Grantee in the event that the Grantee fails to comply with, or violates, the terms or requirements of such policy.

        Furthermore, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any Grantee who knowingly engaged in the misconduct, was grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct, knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct or was grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document that contained such material noncompliance.

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any provision of any Award Agreement, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, then Grantees shall forfeit any cash or Stock received in connection with an Award (or an amount equal to the fair market value of such Stock on the date of delivery if the Grantee no longer holds the shares of Stock) if pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement for such Award, the amount of the Award earned or the vesting in the Award was explicitly based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals set forth in the Award Agreement (including earnings, gains, or other criteria) that are later determined, as a result of the accounting restatement, not to have been achieved.

        3.4.    No Repricing.     

        Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Board shall not have the authority, without stockholder approval, (A) to accept the surrender of outstanding Options when the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock is less than the exercise price and grant new Options or other Awards in substitution for them, (B) to reduce the exercise price of any outstanding Option, or (C) to take any other action that would be treated as a repricing under the rules of the stock exchange on which the Stock is listed; provided, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to outstanding Options pursuant to Section 17.

        3.5.    Deferral Arrangement.     

        The Board may permit or require the deferral of any award payment into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred Stock equivalents and restricting deferrals to comply with hardship distribution rules affecting 401(k) plans. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A.

        3.6.    No Liability.     

        No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement.

        3.7.    Stock Issuance/Book-Entry.     

        Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the issuance of the shares of Stock under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Board, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of one or more share certificates.

4.  STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        4.1.    Number of Shares of Stock Available for Awards.     

        Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17, the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan will be increased by 3,370,000 from 2,140,000 to 5,510,000. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17, the number of shares of Stock available for issuance as Incentive Stock Options shall be 5,510,000. Shares of Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares; or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company.

        4.2.    Adjustments in Authorized Shares of Stock.     

        The Board shall have the right to substitute or assume Awards in connection with mergers, reorganizations, separations, or other transactions to which Code Section 424(a) applies. The number of shares of Stock reserved pursuant to Section 4 shall be increased by the corresponding number of awards assumed and, in the case of a substitution, by the net increase in the number of shares of Stock subject to awards before and after the substitution. Available shares under a stockholder approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and do not reduce the number of shares of Stock available under the Plan, subject to applicable stock exchange requirements.

        4.3.    Share Usage.     

        Shares of Stock covered by an Award shall be counted as used as of the Grant Date. Any shares of Stock that are subject to Awards shall be counted against the limit set forth in Section 4.1 as one (1) share of Stock for every one (1) share of Stock subject to an Award. With respect to SARs, the number of shares of Stock subject to an award of SARs will be counted against the aggregate number

Table of Contents

of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually issued to settle the SAR upon exercise. If any shares of Stock covered by an Award granted under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or expire, or if an Award otherwise terminates without delivery of any shares of Stock subject thereto or is settled in cash in lieu of shares of Stock, then the number of shares of Stock counted against the aggregate number of shares of Stock available under the Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination or expiration, again be available for making Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such shares of Stock were counted against the limit set forth in Section 4.1. The number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall not be increased by (i) any shares of Stock tendered or withheld or Award surrendered in connection with the purchase of shares of Stock upon exercise of an Option as described in Section 12.2, (ii) any shares of Stock deducted or delivered from an Award payment in connection with the Company's tax withholding obligations as described in Section 18.3 or (iii) any shares of Stock purchased by the Company with proceeds from option exercises.

Upon approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company as set forth above, all Awards made under the Plan on or after the Effective Date shall be fully effective as if the stockholders of the Company had approved the Plan on the Effective Date. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within one (1) year of the Effective Date, any Awards made hereunder shall be null and void and of no effect.

        The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Awards have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company's stockholders to the extent stated by the Board, required by Applicable Laws or required by applicable stock exchange listing requirements. No amendment will be made to the no-repricing provisions of Section 3.4 or the option pricing provisions of Section 8.1 without the approval of the Company's stockholders. No amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore awarded under the Plan.

Such additional, tandem, and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time.

In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding Section 8.1 and Section 9.1 but subject to Section 3.4, the Option Price of an Option or the grant price of an SAR that is a Substitute Award may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the original date of grant; provided, that, the Option Price or grant price is determined in accordance with the principles of Code Section 424 and the regulations thereunder for any Incentive Share Option and consistent with Code Section 409A for any other Option or SAR.

7.  AWARD AGREEMENT

        Each Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in such form or forms as the Board shall from time to time determine. Award Agreements granted from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify whether such Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification such options shall be deemed Non-qualified Stock Options.

Table of Contents

        Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option; provided, however, that in the event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from its Grant Date.

        8.4.    Termination of Service.     

        Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Grantee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Grantee's Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Board, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

        8.5.    Limitations on Exercise of Option.     

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company as provided herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 17 which results in termination of the Option.

        8.6.    Method of Exercise.     

        Subject to the terms of Section 12 and Section 18.3, an Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee's delivery to the Company of notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company's principal office, on the form specified by the Company and in accordance with any additional procedures specified by the Board. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to an Award.

        8.7.    Rights of Holders of Options.     

        Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, an individual or entity holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the voting of the subject shares of Stock) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 17, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        8.8.    Delivery of Stock Certificates.     

        Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the issuance of a stock certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of Stock subject to the Option.

        8.9.    Transferability of Options.     

        Except as provided in Section 8.10, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee's guardian or legal representative) may exercise an Option. Except as provided in Section 8.10, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

        8.10.    Family Transfers.     

        If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Board, in its sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8.10, a "not for value" transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) unless Applicable Law does not permit such transfers, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.10, any such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, and shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer of shares as would have applied to the Grantee. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.10 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The events of termination of Service of Section 8.4 shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Grantee, following which the Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified, in Section 8.4.

        8.11.    Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.     

        An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ii) to the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement; and (iii) to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Grantee's employer and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. Except to the extent provided in the regulations under Code Section 422, this limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

        8.12.    Notice of Disqualifying Disposition.     

        If any Grantee shall make any disposition of shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten (10) days thereof.

9.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        9.1.    Right to Payment and Grant Price.     

        A SAR shall confer on the Grantee to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the SAR Exercise Price as determined by the Board. The Award Agreement for a SAR shall specify the SAR Exercise Price, which shall be at least the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. SARs may be granted in conjunction with all or part of an Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option, in conjunction with all or part of any other Award or without regard to any Option or other Award; provided that a SAR that is granted subsequent to the Grant Date of a related Option must have a SAR Exercise Price that is no less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the SAR Grant Date.

        9.2.    Other Terms.     

        The Board shall determine on the Grant Date or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which

12

Table of Contents

SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which shares of Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Grantees, whether or not a SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR.

        9.3.    Term.     

        Each SAR granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights thereunder shall cease, upon the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such SAR is granted, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Board and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such SAR.

        9.4.    Transferability of SARS.     

        Except as provided in Section 9.5, during the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Grantee's guardian or legal representative) may exercise a SAR. Except as provided in Section 9.5, no SAR shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

        9.5.    Family Transfers.     

        If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Board, in its sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of a SAR to any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 9.5, a "not for value" transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or (iii) unless Applicable Law does not permit such transfers, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 9.5, any such SAR shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, and shares of Stock acquired pursuant to a SAR shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer or shares as would have applied to the Grantee. Subsequent transfers of transferred SARs are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 9.5 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

10.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

        10.1.    Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units.     

        Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be made for no consideration (other than par value of the shares of Stock which is deemed paid by past or future Services to the Company or an Affiliate).

        10.2.    Restrictions.     

        At the time a grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, the Board may, in its sole discretion, establish a period of time (a "restricted period") applicable to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Each Award of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be subject to a different restricted period. The Board may in its sole discretion, at the time a grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the restricted period, including the satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives, which may be applicable to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock or Stock Units as described in Section 14. Neither Restricted Stock nor Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Board with respect to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units.

        10.3.    Restricted Stock Certificates.     

        Subject to Section 3.7, the Company shall issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock have been granted, stock certificates representing the total number of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date. The Board may provide in an Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for the Grantee's benefit until such time as the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited to the Company or the restrictions lapse and the Grantee shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to each certificate, or (ii) such certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee, provided, however, that such certificates shall bear a legend or legends that comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and makes appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed under the Plan and the Award Agreement. Pursuant to Section 3.7, to the extent Restricted Stock is represented by a book entry, such book entry will contain an appropriate legend or restriction similar to the foregoing.

        10.4.    Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock.     

        Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such shares of Stock and the right to receive any dividends declared or paid with respect to such shares of Stock. The Board may provide that any dividends paid on Restricted Stock must be reinvested in shares of Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. All distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of stock, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable to the original Grant.

        10.5.    Rights of Holders of Stock Units.     

        10.5.1.    Voting and Dividend Rights.     

        Holders of Stock Units shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company. The Board may provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive, upon the Company's payment of a cash dividend on its outstanding shares of Stock, a cash payment for each Stock Unit held equal to the per-stock dividend paid on the shares of Stock. Such Award Agreement may also provide that such cash payment will be deemed reinvested in additional Stock Units at a price per unit equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date that such dividend is paid.

        10.5.2.    Creditor's Rights.     

        A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement.

        10.6.    Termination of Service.     

        Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee's Service, any Restricted Stock or Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Award, including but not limited to any right to vote Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends with respect to Restricted Stock or Stock Units.

        10.7.    Purchase of Restricted Stock and Shares of Stock Subject to Stock Units.     

        The Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, to purchase the Restricted Stock or shares of Stock subject to vested Stock Units from the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such

14

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock or Stock Units or (ii) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 12 or, in the discretion of the Board, in consideration for past or future Services rendered to the Company or an Affiliate.

        10.8.    Delivery of Shares of Stock.     

        Upon the expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Board, the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units settled in shares of Stock shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, a stock certificate for such shares of Stock shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee's beneficiary or estate, shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit once the share of Stock represented by the Stock Unit has been delivered.

11.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS AND OTHER EQUITY-BASED AWARDS

        The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other higher purchase price determined by the Board) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions ("Unrestricted Stock") under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past or future services and other valid consideration, or in lieu of, or in addition to, any cash compensation due to such Grantee.

        The Board may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Equity-Based Awards, as deemed by the Board to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Awards granted pursuant to this paragraph may be granted with vesting, value and/or payment contingent upon the attainment of one or more performance goals. The Board shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at the date of grant or thereafter. Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee's Service, any Other Equity-Based Awards held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of Other Equity-Based Awards, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to such Award.

12.  FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

        12.1.    General Rule.     

        Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company.

        12.2.    Surrender of Shares of Stock.     

        To the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made all or in part through the tender or attestation to the Company of shares of Stock, which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option Price or Purchase Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender.

        12.3.    Cashless Exercise.     

        With respect to an Option only (and not with respect to Restricted Stock), to the extent permitted by law and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of

15

---

Table of Contents

Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Board) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 18.3, or, with the consent of the Company, by issuing the number of shares of Stock equal in value to the difference between the Option Price and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the portion of the Option being exercised.

        12.4.    Other Forms of Payment.     

        To the extent the Award Agreement so provides and/or unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock may be made in any other form that is consistent with Applicable Laws, regulations and rules, including, without limitation, Service to the Company or an Affiliate or net exercise.

13.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

        13.1.    Dividend Equivalent Rights.     

        A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other award to which it relates) if such shares of Stock had been issued to and held by the recipient. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any Grantee. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the grant. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments, all determined in the sole discretion of the Board. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other Award; provided, however, that Dividend Equivalent rights credited pursuant to a Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award which vests or is earned based upon achievement of performance goals shall not vest or be paid unless the performance goals for such underlying Award are achieved.

        13.2.    Termination of Service.     

        Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee's rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest equivalents shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee's termination of Service for any reason.

14.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS

        14.1.    Grant of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.     

        Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Board, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance Awards and/or Annual Incentive Awards to a Plan participant in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

16

Table of Contents

        14.2.    Value of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.     

        Each Performance Award and Annual Incentive Award shall have an initial value that is established by the Board at the time of grant. The Board shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and/or number of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Plan participant.

        14.3.    Earning of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.     

        Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards shall be entitled to receive payout on the value and number of the Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards earned by the Plan participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved.

        14.4.    Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.     

        Payment of earned Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be as determined by the Board and as evidenced in the Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Board, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Awards in the form of cash or in shares of Stock (or in a combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period; provided that, unless specifically provided in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award, such payment shall occur no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends. Any shares of Stock may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award.

        14.5.    Performance Conditions.     

        The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Board. The Board may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions. If and to the extent required under Code Section 162(m), any power or authority relating to an Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), shall be exercised by the Committee and not the Board.

        14.6.    Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards Granted to Designated Covered Employees.     

        If and to the extent that the Board determines that a Performance or Annual Incentive Award to be granted to a Grantee who is designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee should qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Award shall be contingent upon achievement of pre-established performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 14.6.

        14.6.1.    Performance Goals Generally.     

        The performance goals for Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall consist of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 14.6. Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder including the requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the achievement of performance goals being "substantially uncertain." The Committee may determine that such Awards shall be granted, exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal

17

Table of Contents

or that two (2) or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Awards. Performance goals may differ for Awards granted to any one Grantee or to different Grantees.

        14.6.2.    Timing For Establishing Performance Goals.     

        Performance goals shall be established not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of any performance period applicable to such Awards and (ii) the day on which twenty-five percent (25%) of any performance period applicable to such Awards has expired, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m).

        14.6.3.    Settlement of Awards; Other Terms.     

        Settlement of such Awards shall be in cash, shares of Stock, other Awards or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Awards. The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of Service by the Grantee prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Awards.

        14.6.4.    Performance Measures.     

        The performance goals upon which the payment or vesting of a Performance or Annual Incentive Award to a Covered Employee that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be limited to the following Performance Measures, with or without adjustment:

        (a)   net earnings or net income;

        (b)   operating earnings;

        (s)   working capital targets;

        (t)    completion of acquisitions of businesses or companies;

        (u)   development of new lines of business or substantially expanding existing lines of business;

        (v)   completion of divestitures and asset sales;

        (w)  revenues under management;

        (x)   funds from operations;

        (y)   employee hiring, retention, growth in population and diversity;

        (z)   employee satisfaction;

        Any Performance Measure(s) may be used to measure the performance of the Company, Subsidiary, and/or Affiliate as a whole or any business unit of the Company, Subsidiary, and/or Affiliate or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Measures as compared to the performance of a group of comparator companies, or published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or the Company may select Performance Measure (e) above as compared to various stock market indices. The Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this Section 14.

        14.6.5.    Evaluation of Performance.     

        The Committee may provide in any such Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs; (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results; (d) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (e) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing in the Company's annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (f) acquisitions or divestitures; and (g) foreign exchange gains and losses. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility.

        14.6.6.    Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation.     

        Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis, or any combination as the Committee determines.

        14.6.7.    Board Discretion.     

        In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Board discretion to alter the governing Performance Measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Board shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval provided the exercise of such discretion does not violate Code Sections 162(m) or 409A. In addition, in the event that the Board determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Board may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 14.6.4.

Table of Contents

        14.7.    Status of Awards Under Code Section 162(m).     

        It is the intent of the Company that Awards under Section 14.6 granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered Employees within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of Section 14.6, including the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Committee cannot determine with certainty whether a given Grantee will be a Covered Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term Covered Employee as used herein shall mean only a person designated by the Committee, at the time of grant of an Award, as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to that fiscal year. If any provision of the Plan or any agreement relating to such Awards does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

15.  PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

        If the Grantee is a "disqualified individual," as defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a Grantee with an Applicable Entity, except an agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an "Other Agreement"), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a "Benefit Arrangement"), any right to exercise, vesting, payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan shall be reduced or eliminated:

          (i)  to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any exercise, vesting, payment or benefit to the Grantee under this Plan to be considered a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a "Parachute Payment") and

         (ii)  if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under this Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.

        The Company shall accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Options or SARs, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments.

16.  REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

        16.1.    General.     

        The Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Award if the sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation by the Grantee, any other individual or entity exercising an Option, or the Company or an Affiliate of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities

20

---

Table of Contents

laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an Award upon any securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares of Stock hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option pursuant to such Award unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or any SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Board has received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other individual or entity exercising an Option may acquire such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in this connection by the Board shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or a SAR or the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option (or SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock) shall not be exercisable until the shares of Stock covered by such Option (or SAR) are registered or are exempt from registration, the exercise of such Option (or SAR) under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

        16.2.    Rule 16b-3.     

        During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options and SARs granted hereunder that would otherwise be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act will qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Board does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board, and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the revised exemption or its replacement.

17.  EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

        17.1.    Changes in Stock.     

        If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of stock or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of stock, exchange of stock, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares of stock for which grants of Options and other Awards may be made under the Plan, including, without limitation, the limits set forth in Section 6.2, shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate interest of the Grantee immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options or SARs shall not change the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable with respect to shares that

21

---

are subject to the unexercised portion of an outstanding Option or SAR, as applicable, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Company shall, in such manner as the Company deems appropriate, adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and/or (ii) the exercise price of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to reflect such distribution.

        17.2.    Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which Does not Constitute a Change in Control.     

        Subject to Section 17.3, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Change in Control, any Option or SAR theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Option or SAR would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of the shares of Stock remaining subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement evidencing an Award, any restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement shares received by the Grantee as a result of the reorganization, merger or consolidation. In the event of a transaction described in this Section 17.2, Stock Units shall be adjusted so as to apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Units would have been entitled to receive immediately following such transaction.

        17.3.    Change in Control in which Awards are not Assumed.     

        Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in which outstanding Options, SARs, Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights, Restricted Stock, or other Equity-Based Awards are not being assumed or continued:

          (i)  in each case with the exception of any Performance Award, all outstanding Restricted Stock shall be deemed to have vested, all Stock Units shall be deemed to have vested and the shares of Stock subject thereto shall be delivered, and all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be deemed to have vested and the shares of Stock subject thereto shall be delivered, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control, and

         (ii)  either of the following two actions shall be taken:

        (A)  fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of a Change in Control, all Options and SARs outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days, or

        (B)  the Board may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and/or SARs and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Board acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock and, in the case of Options or SARs, equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option or SAR (the "Award Stock") multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (I) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such

transaction exceeds (II) the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price applicable to such Award Stock.

        (iii)  for Performance Awards denominated in Stock or Stock Units, if less than half of the Performance Period has lapsed, the Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved (or Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). If more than half the Performance Period has lapsed, the Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units based on actual performance to date (or Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply). If actual performance is not determinable, then Performance Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved, based on the discretion of the Committee (or Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply).

        (iv)  Other-Equity Based Awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement.

        With respect to the Company's establishment of an exercise window, (i) any exercise of an Option or SAR during such fifteen (15)-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the event and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation of the event, and (ii) upon consummation of any Change in Control, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. The Board shall send notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals and entities who hold Options and SARs not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

        17.4.    Change in Control in which Awards are Assumed.     

        The Plan, Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Change in Control to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with such Change in Control for the assumption or continuation of the Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock for new common stock options and stock appreciation rights and new common stock units and restricted stock relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common stock) and option and stock appreciation rights exercise prices.

        17.5.    Adjustments     

        Adjustments under this Section 17 related to shares of Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share. The Board shall determine the effect of a Change in Control upon Awards other than Options, SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Stock, and such effect shall be set forth in the appropriate Award Agreement. The Board may provide in the Award Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, for different provisions to apply to an Award in place of those described in Sections 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4. This Section 17 does not limit the Company's ability to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the event of change in control events that are not Changes in Control.

        17.6.    No Limitations on Company.     

        The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

18.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

        18.1.    Disclaimer of Rights.     

        No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed to confer upon any individual or entity the right to remain in the employ or Service of the Company or an Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company or an Affiliate either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any individual or entity at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any individual or entity and the Company or an Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such Grantee continues to provide Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and Awards shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan.

        18.2.    Nonexclusivity of the Plan.     

        Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan.

        18.3.    Withholding Taxes.     

        The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or pursuant to an Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or an Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided, however, that if there is a same day sale, the Grantee shall pay such withholding obligation on the day that the same day sale is completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or an Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company or an Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (ii) by delivering to the Company or an Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or an Affiliate as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 18.3 may satisfy his or her withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements upon the exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions applicable to such Award or payment of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable, cannot exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company or an Affiliate to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state or local taxing authority with respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment of shares of Stock. For purposes of determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding obligation under this

Section 18.3, notwithstanding Section 2.18 or this Section 18.3, for any Shares that are sold on the same day that such Shares are first legally saleable pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, Fair Market Value shall be determined based upon the sale price for such Shares so long as the Grantee has provided the Company with advance written notice of such sale.

        18.4.    Captions.     

        The use of captions in this Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or such Award Agreement.

        18.5.    Other Provisions.     

        Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion.

        18.6.    Number and Gender.     

        With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the context requires.

        18.7.    Severability.     

        If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

        18.8.    Governing Law     

        The validity and construction of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

        18.9.    Section 409A of the Code.     

        The Company intends to comply with Section 409A, or an exemption to Section 409A, with regard to Awards hereunder that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award granted under this Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Board.

*    *    *

        To record adoption of the Plan by the Board as of September 27, 2010, and approval of the Plan by the stockholders on November 29, 2010, and the amendment of the Plan by the Board as of June 29, 2012, and the approval of the amendment to the Plan by the stockholders on                        , 2012, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the Plan.
