2.1                               Board Nomination Rights.  In any and all elections of directors of the Company (whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu of a meeting), HCP shall have the right to nominate for election to the Board (i) two individuals if HCP, together with its Affiliates, beneficially holds Shares constituting 15% or more of the Voting Power as of the applicable Nomination Date and (ii) one

individual if HCP, together with its Affiliates, beneficially holds Shares constituting 10% or more of the Voting Power as of the applicable Nomination Date.

2.2                               Board Nomination Procedures.  To exercise its board nomination rights hereunder, HCP shall provide written notice to the Company no later than the applicable Nomination Date of the individual(s) that it has a right to nominate hereunder, which notice shall also contain all information with respect to each such individual that will be required to be included in the proxy statement to be circulated in respect of the election of such individual, provided that if HCP fails to provide written notice of its nominees prior to the Nomination Date, the directors nominated by HCP at the most recent election of directors of the Company shall be deemed nominated for purposes of this Section 2.2 as long as they remain eligible pursuant to laws and regulations applicable to the Company, and are willing, to serve as directors.  Following the timely receipt of such written notice, the Company, provided that each such nominee is reasonably acceptable to the Board (not including the vote of such nominee for this purpose), shall (i) include such individual(s) as nominee(s) in the proxy statement and other proxy materials circulated with respect to the applicable election of directors, (ii) recommend in such proxy statement and materials that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the election of such nominee(s) to the Board, and (iii) otherwise use its best efforts to cause such nominee(s) to be elected to the Board.

2.3                               Maximum Number of Directors.  At all times prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall cause the Board to consist of no more than nine directors.

2.4                               Committee Nomination Rights.  As long as HCP is entitled to nominate at least one individual for election to the Board and at least one HCP nominee is serving as a director on the Board pursuant to this Agreement, one HCP designee as shall be specified by HCP at any time shall serve on each committee or subcommittee of the Board, provided that such director is qualified to serve on such committee and subcommittee under the laws and regulations application to the Company, including, without limitation, the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.5                               Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Consistent.  The Company shall use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken all lawful action necessary or appropriate to ensure that at all times neither the Certificate of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company, nor any of the corresponding constituent documents of the Company’s subsidiaries contain any provisions inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 2) or which would in any way nullify or impair the terms of this Agreement or the rights of HCP hereunder. The Company shall not take or cause to be taken any action inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation this Section 2) or the rights of HCP hereunder.

§3.                               CONSENT RIGHTS.

3.1                               Agreements with Other Stockholders.  Each party hereto acknowledges that the Company is entering into a separate stockholder agreement with BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BlackRock”) on or about the date hereof (the “BlackRock Agreement”) which provides BlackRock with essentially the same nominating and other rights as those provided to HCP hereunder.  Without the prior written consent of HCP, the Company shall not amend the BlackRock Agreement, or enter into any other agreement with BlackRock with respect to the subject matter of the BlackRock Agreement, if such amendment or other agreement would provide BlackRock with nominating rights that are more favorable than those provided to HCP hereunder or are otherwise materially adverse to HCP.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Company enters into or amends, modifies or waives (as distinct from a consent or approval provided for therein) any provision of a stockholder agreement between the Company and any other stockholder that involves the grant of rights

2

to a stockholder that are superior, taking into account the impact of differences in levels of stockholding, regulatory status, noncompetition provisions and other similar matters (the “Contractual Superior Rights”), to those belonging to HCP under this Agreement, the Company shall offer HCP the opportunity to obtain such Contractual Superior Rights.  The Company shall notify HCP prior to the time such rights become effective and shall afford it the opportunity for at least 20 days to determine whether or not it wishes to obtain such Contractual Superior Rights.

3.2                               Charter Amendments.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement (the “Charter”) shall not be amended in any manner that is adverse to HCP or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of HCP if HCP and its Affiliates hold, at the time of such amendment or repeal, Shares constituting 5% or more of the Voting Power.  Article IX of the Charter shall not be amended or repealed, and no provision that is inconsistent with such Article IX shall be adopted, in any manner without the prior written consent of HCP if HCP and its Affiliates hold any Shares at such time.

3.3                               By-law Amendments.  The by-laws of the Company shall not be amended or repealed in any manner that is adverse to HCP or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of HCP if HCP and its Affiliates hold, at the time of such amendment or repeal, Shares constituting 5% or more of the Voting Power.

§4.                               AGGREGATION OF AFFILIATES.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if voting power of shares of stock of the Company is held by HCP and one or more of its Affiliates, or by more than one Affiliate of HCP, then all nominations, consents and actions required or permitted to be given, made or taken by HCP pursuant to this Agreement shall be given, made or taken by the parties holding a majority of such voting power held by HCP and its Affiliates (other than the HCP Charitable Entities).  The Company and its officers shall be entitled to rely on any notice, consent, waiver or instructions executed by either (i) such parties holding a majority of such voting power or (ii) by the HCP Designee if such designee certifies that the requisite approval of such parties has been obtained, without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. HCP shall be the initial “HCP Designee.”  The party acting as the HCP Designee may be changed by HCP by providing notice of such change to the Company.

§5.                               SEVERABILITY.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

§6.                               ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this document embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
