Item 7.01.         Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 14, 2009, Concord Debt Holdings LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Concord”) entered into an amendment to its Master Repurchase Agreement with Column Financial (the “Column MRA”).  We hold a 50% interest in the managing member of Concord.
 
First mortgage loans and mezzanine loans with a face value of approximately $282.1 million are subject to the Column MRA (the “Column Assets”).  The current repurchase price for all loans subject to the Column MRA is approximately $148.9 million.
 
We provide a non-recourse carve-out (“bad boy”) guaranty with respect to the Column MRA, which remains unmodified by the amendment.  We believe we have no obligation and we currently have no intention to use any of our financial resources to satisfy the obligations of Concord under the Column MRA (including the obligations described in the next paragraph). We expect Concord’s obligations under the Column MRA to be satisfied with proceeds from asset sales by Concord.

Pursuant to the amendment, (1) Concord is required to (i) repurchase the loans secured by the properties located at 160 Spear, San Francisco, California and Siete Square in Phoenix, Arizona by May 31, 2009, (ii) on or before September 30, 2009, reduce the outstanding repurchase price to $80 million, (iii) reduce, on or before December 31, 2009, the outstanding repurchase price to $60 million, (2) all payments on account of the Column Assets are to be applied to reduce the repurchase price, (3) the advance rates under the Column MRA will be 80% until September 29, 2009, 75% from September 30, 2009 through December 30, 2009, and 70% thereafter until the termination (maturity) date, (4) Concord is required to repurchase any Column Assets within two (2) business days of such Column Assets going into default except in a limited circumstance, (5) Column is not permitted to make a margin call until April 1, 2010, and (6) the termination (maturity) date is December 31, 2010.
 
As a result of the foregoing amendment, for financial statement purposes, certain of the Column Assets will be classified by Concord as “assets held for sale” instead of their current classification of “held to maturity.”  This change in classification will require Concord to mark-to-market each of the reclassified Column Assets on its financial statements.  Accordingly, given the current depression in the credit markets, it is expected that Concord will incur a substantial negative mark to market adjustment on its statement of operations with respect to the reclassified Column Assets, 50% of which will be recognize by us with respect to our investment in Concord.  At this time, the amount of such adjustment has not yet been determined.

The information furnished pursuant to this “Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure” shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
