reduced valuations and tighter lending standards result in significantly lower first mortgage loan proceeds from traditional financing sources. the
Sullivan debt funds will seek to originate first mortgages opportunistically. the Sullivan debt funds will seek to purchase nonperforming commercial debt from federally insured banks and others.
Madison believes a market opportunity exists for the Funds for the following reasons:
• Through March 14, 2011, 25 FDIC insured banking institutions ceased operations in addition to the 297 that ceased operations in 2009 and 2010, leaving approximately 7,650 FDIC insured institutions.
1 As of 4Q 2010, there were 884 FDIC banking institutions on the FDIC watchlist.
2
• Community savings banks continue to be pressed by the FDIC and other regulatory entities to repair battered balance sheets and replenish capital requirements.
• Of the approximately $3.2 trillion in outstanding commercial real estate debt, approximately 50% is on the balance sheet of federally insured banks, with over $1.0 trillion maturing before 2012.
3
• Peak origination years of 2005-2008 will lead to banks seeking payoffs or pay downs on rolling commercial real estate debt in 2010-2015.

• Traditional sources of commercial real estate loans are tightening underwriting standards and considering a much more limited pool of properties and borrowers.
• Agency financing (FNMA, Freddie, FHA) has seen a spike in demand for multi-family financings creating long backlogs and necessitating interim bridge first mortgage solutions.
• Commercial real estate lenders are “calling” loans at maturity, yet cautiously pursuing legal remedies.
Many lenders are working to sell their loans to borrowers at a discounted payoff.

The Funds intend to make investments valued at $5 MM to $30 MM and maturing one to five years from acquisition.
The Funds will endeavor to focus their investment activities primarily on:
• Providing senior secured loans for the acquisition and refinance of commercial real estate.
• Acquiring non-performing senior secured loans from lenders looking to clean up their balance sheets
(i.e., regional savings banks, FDIC regulated community banks, special servicers, local thrifts, and
Wall Street lenders).
• Funding the repositioning of real estate (i.e., capital expenditures, leasing, etc.).
• Funding time constrained transactions.
• Providing senior secured loans to operators seeking to acquire their own commercial real estate loans from banking institutions and private funds.
• Pursuing opportunities from government regulatory agencies set up to liquidate distressed commercial real estate notes (FDIC auctions).

C OURTLAND R ECOMMENDATION S UMMARY
Courtland recommends that WPERP consider Madison Realty Capital for a $25 million allocation ($20 million for Employees Retirement Plan and $5 million for the Retirees Health Care portfolio). This recommendation is subject to satisfactory legal review of all Fund documents. Courtland’s recommendation is based on the following:
1.
Madison’s transactions are in the senior position in capital structure;
2.
Relatively simple, straightforward transactions compared to other distressed funds;
3.
Strong underwriting capabilities/firm professionals;
4.
Excellent past track record, particularly given vintage year of last fund;
5.
Diversification/mix of originated bridge loans and distressed loans purchased;
6.
Small size of the Fund and transaction sizes;
7.
Mitigated interest rate risk with the Fund; and
8.
Madison’s deal sourcing pipeline/relationship with local banks.
III.
S ULLIVAN D EBT F UND A DVANTAGES AND R ISKS /C ONCERNS S UMMARY
A DVANTAGES
Strong track record, particularly given vintage year exposure of first fund.
The GP’s first fund,
Madison Realty Capital LP, began in 2005 and made its last investment at the end of 2008. Clearly, this has been a challenging environment for the majority of funds which made investments over this time frame. As of September 30, 2010, the first fund an annualized net return of 7.0%. This ranks Madison as a top-quartile performer over this market cycle.
Relatively transparent deals.
The transactions that the Fund will focus on are relatively straightforward. These are primarily extensions of maturing first mortgages or first mortgages purchased directly from banks at a discount to face value. Many “distressed” debt funds currently in the marketplace are focusing on very complex financial engineering to determine whether a note deep in the capital stack has any potential value. Because
Madison is focusing on senior secured positions, the complexity of transactions is arguably less than with other funds that Courtland has evaluated.
Real estate approach to underwriting transactions.
To further expand on the above topic, Madison has a team of real estate professionals and people who have had experience financing and lending to real estate-related borrowers. Many firms
R ISKS /C ONCERNS
Experience of key personnel/Departure of key personnel. The key professionals at Madison have had relatively short careers to this point. While they are well versed in their respective areas of expertise, the level of experience could potentially be problematic, given that many team members have only been through one complete market cycle.
Additionally, in 2010, two key principals at the Firm have left. Gideon Gil left to work for a family office consultant and John Sorel left to work for Deutsche
Bank. The Firm is bringing in professionals with long service records at reputable institutions. Additionally, while a number of the key personnel are relatively young, they have had indepth experience at some of the best firms in the real estate finance area prior to forming/joining Madison.
Short track record. The Firm has only been in existence since 2005. Over this time, Madison has one fund that has drawn its full capital commitment.
Though it is a short performance record and Madison has only been through a single market cycle, performance has been impressive, as described in the advantages of this section of this report. Many firms have funds with vintage years similar to the first Madison fund, and regardless of the experience of key personnel or the number of prior funds, performance for these
GPs in vintage year 2005 funds has primarily been poor.
Limited geographic focus. The Fund will likely invest half of its proceeds in New York and the other half will be predominantly focused on the East
Coast outside of New York, though investments can be made anywhere in the U.S. The geographic

A DVANTAGES utilize financial engineering experts who may not be seasoned real estate professionals. Note that a copy of a credit memo written by Madison for purposes of underwriting a transaction is accompanying this Courtland write-up as an example of the detailed due diligence undertaken by Madison.
Ability to do loan-to-own on transactions.
All transactions are entered into analyzing the “what if” scenario of needing to foreclose and take ownership/control of a property. Given the various scenarios and exit strategies are planned for, it is highly unlikely that the Fund will be forced to take substantial write-downs on any single asset.
Ability to use leverage in a transaction.
With this strategy, Madison may write a first mortgages to a property owner at a double-digit rate. Then, Madison may sell an “A” piece of the mortgage to a local bank that wishes to participate in the transaction for a considerably lower yield than the rate at which the mortgage was originally written to the borrower.
Madison maintains the remaining portion of the mortgage, collecting an arbitrage spread on the mortgage piece sold off. This effectively leverages the Fund’s investors’ capital, providing a higher rate of return for called capital, without substantively adding to the risk profile of the Fund.
Floating rate transactions. The Fund will originate bridge loan mortgages and purchase mortgages at a discount from financial institutions.
The bridge loans originated are floating rate notes with a floor. The distressed mortgages purchased may have initially been fixed rate, but once the note
R ISKS /C ONCERNS concentration causes some concern. By spreading the investments out across the United States in select, diversified markets, the overall risk of the fund may be lessened. Madison is based in New York.
To underwrite the types of transactions that the Firm will underwrite, it does require that the GP have a very good understanding of the markets that it invests in. It is an advantage that the underwriters are a short distance away geographically from the assets being underwritten.
Additionally, in Madison’s first fund, assets were underwritten in 28 states, so Madison does have the capability to enter into transactions outside of its core geographic focus.
Staff size. The Firm has 22 investment professionals and support staff. Given that Madison will conduct preliminary screening on perhaps 100 transactions per investment funded, and given that there will be approximately 60 Fund investments, this equates to 6,000 due diligence projects that need to be started, which may be stretching resources thin for Madison. Fortunately, Madison is able to determine in fairly short order whether or not a transaction should be pursued further. It will come down to bidding on several hundred transactions to complete the capital commitments of the Fund, which should be a manageable task, given the threeyear investment period.
Quality of properties. Largely, the underlying properties in Madison’s portfolio are not class-A trophy projects. These are smaller projects that are mid-tier class-B properties. As valuations become more difficult to determine with certainty, there may be less transparency in the market and less ability to accurately determine the value of the underlying collateral. This may be a positive vs. a negative. Large, class-A properties have numerous bidders and oftentimes little chance for large profits due to the competition to secure the asset. The properties the Fund will be lending on are less shopped than a “mega deal” and Madison has a higher likelihood of making a profit compared to aggressive bids which may be needed to win the financing on a class-A

Market Uncertainty.
The U.S. commercial and residential markets have uncertainty related to the value of real estate assets. There have been many occurrences in which the supposedly impossible seven-standard-deviation-event happened with more frequency than the statistics would otherwise state is

A DVANTAGES goes into default, the default provisions create a variable rate note. This hedges the majority of interest rate risk to which the portfolio could be subject.
Deal flow pipeline.
Madison sources an average of
150-200 deals per week through its in-house origination staff and its relationships with brokers, bankers, and other facilitators. Given the large pipeline, Madison is able to be selective with the deals it bids on. Additionally, due to the large number of transactions that Madison sees in the pipeline, the Firm’s professionals are able to determine trends in the marketplace which may be either advantageous or deleterious to future opportunities for the Fund.
Diversification from large number of deals.
The
Fund is targeting $300 million of equity and $300 million of debt. With a total investment base of $600 million, and an average deal size of $15 million, the
Fund will have approximately 40 investments.
Additionally, during the 3-year investment period, there will be deal turnover. The capital from any deals paid off during the investment period may be reinvested. Therefore, the total number of investments may be between 50 and 60. With such a large number of transactions, risk is reduced substantially compared to having large amounts of capital invested in a small number of transactions.
R ISKS /C ONCERNS expected to occur. While the markets have corrected substantially from their peaks in 2006-2007, there is still uncertainty as to when both the real estate
(physical asset) and security-related markets will hit bottom. The market dislocation creates “once in a generation” opportunities. That is the reason why Courtland is evaluating Madison and other firms: to take advantage of market inefficiencies and potentially earn a return for which the current environment is ideally suited. While there is indeed risk with such a strategy, a competent manager that understands the capital structure can position an investment to get the most upside while minimizing the potential for principal loss. Nonetheless, there is risk that further devaluation takes place and that even secured positions become worthless.
Legal issues/bankruptcy risks associated with distressed investment.
Part of Madison’s objective is to invest in distressed mortgages or mortgages which may end up in some form of workout. In such cases, bankruptcy courts could affect the outcome for all creditors. Madison is very cognizant of the difficulties that arise when a bankruptcy court becomes involved.
Collateral is secured. The investments will not be deep in the capital structure. These are first mortgages with direct claim on the collateral, which mitigates much of the risk of a bankruptcy filing.
First time buying distressed loans. Madison’s experience to-date has been writing bridge loans.
This is the first foray into purchasing distressed loans. Up to 50% of the Fund is targeted to be comprised of distressed loans purchased from other banks balance sheets. This is a natural progression for
Madison. The types of loans it is focusing on are loans which
Madison would have underwritten for its own book. These are first mortgage transactions at the most secured position of the capital structure, which mitigates much of the risk of this new strategy.

Madison currently manages one fund, Madison Realty Capital, L.P. (“Fund I”). Fund I does have an offshore version, Madison Realty Partners II, L.P. (collectively referred to as the “Existing Funds”). Fund I has invested in 154 commercial real estate loans totaling in excess of $688 million (face amount) in a well diversified debt portfolio throughout the United States. Since inception, the Existing Funds have returned an average net internal rate of return (after costs and expenses, including management fees and incentive payments) of 7.0%. As of September 30, 2010 the Existing Funds hold $238 million in assets outstanding.
The Existing Funds have exhibited consistent low volatile risk adjusted returns since inception, while providing downside principal protection during the recent market turmoil. The Existing Funds were focused solely on originating senior secured commercial debt with a maturity up to three years. As of December 31,
2008, the Existing Funds have ceased making new investments and are currently in the process of returning capital to investors
In Fund I, there have been more than 100 investments which have closed and are no longer within Fund I.
Of these 100+ investments, only three transactions resulted in a loss of investor capital. Additionally, there are 52 investments which are currently open in Fund I. Of these 52 investments, two are expected to generate a negative rate of return.

I NVESTMENT S TRATEGY
M ADISON R EALTY C APITAL I NVESTMENT S TRATEGY
The composition of the Fund’s portfolio will be dependent upon market opportunities and conditions. The
Fund will focus its investment activity primarily on acquiring as well as financing the acquisition of performing and non-performing senior secured loans from lenders looking to rid their balance sheets of such assets. The Fund will also provide senior secured loans for the acquisition and refinance of commercial real estate as well as the repositioning of real estate. The Fund will finance note purchases from operators seeking to acquire commercial real estate loans from banking institutions. Finally, the Fund will pursue opportunities from government regulatory agencies set up to liquidate distressed commercial real estate loans.
It is anticipated that approximately 50% of the Fund will be allocated to new mortgage originations in the form of bridge loans and the other 50% of the Fund will be allocated to buying distressed securities from financial institutions at a discount to the face value. These loans will be backed by commercial real estate located throughout the United States. The Fund intends to make investment valued between $5 million and
$30 million and with maturities from one to five years from the acquisition/funding period. Investments generally must be cash flow positive at the time of funding.
Each prospective investment will be evaluated, structured and priced in consideration of the specific attributes of the opportunity. The Fund’s focused investment strategy will minimize the uncertainty associated with timing market trends and enhance returns to the Fund on a risk-adjusted basis. The Fund will be committed to the execution of an investment strategy which adheres to Madison’s underwriting standards, fundamentally strong asset and borrower selection, thorough due diligence and accurate, timely execution of the investment process.
Through the use of extensive credit, market and property level analysis, Madison expects to thoroughly assess risk, structure investments opportunistically and defensively, and price transactions appropriately. The Fund seeks to build a diversified investment portfolio of senior secured debt and intends to target a relevant portfolio allocation based on geography, sector type, loan type, borrower characteristics and maturity schedule. It intends to originate and purchase distressed and defaulted senior secured commercial real estate loans that present near-term opportunities at the property level.
The investment strategy incorporate three phases into the decision making process. The phases and a description of select action steps within each phase are listed as follows:
Collateral Review : analyze property valuation, complete appraisal, stress test pro forma NOI, determine exit strategy;
Market Review : focus on markets with attractive supply/demand dynamics, analyze market demographics and trends, evaluate collateral diversification; and
Credit Review : credit and background checks performed on borrowers/guarantors, evaluate financial statements, analyze liquidity, limit exposure to any one borrower.

A schematic of Madison’s investment process is profiled on the following page.
The Fund will rely on local commercial savings banks (currently over approximately 8,000 nationwide), insurance companies, government-sponsored agencies and private lenders to exit its investments. Given the increased liquidity in the sub-$30 million marketplace, the Fund expects that certain portfolio investments will also be disposed of through the borrower’s sale of the underlying real property. The Fund’s team of professionals has deep experience working through non-performing and defaulted real estate debt including foreclosure proceedings, bankruptcy, third-party note sales and resale of the collateral acquired in lieu of repayment of indebtedness. Madison believes that the ability to navigate the workout process with borrowers is critical to principal protection and may provide additional upside potential for the Fund.

I NVESTMENT O PPORTUNITY
The capital market events since mid 2007, together with broad declines in real estate valuations across property types, have presented various opportunities within the commercial real estate debt markets.
Changing dynamics and an increased conservatism in the conventional lending arena have made available a wide array of specialty lending opportunities throughout the commercial real estate sector. Further, these same traditional lenders are seeking to strengthen balance sheets through the disposition of both subperforming and distressed commercial real estate debt. Madison believes that there will be an unparalleled opportunity for refinancing and recapitalization of existing commercial real estate debt that was originated during the 2004-2008 period.
Distressed and non-performing investment opportunities emerge throughout economic and real estate cycles and are particularly prevalent in the current market environment. These opportunities are typically the result of dislocations at the property or local market level, embedded within the capital structure, or arising through inefficiencies of ownership and/or management of a given property or platform. Madison’s intent is to source and fund the recapitalization of value-added real estate collateral directly affected by the freeze in the overall capital markets as well as purchase loans either at par or at a discount where underlying real estate fundamentals present near-term challenges but longer-term opportunities. Madison has indicated in conversations with Courtland that virtually all real estate notes acquired from lending institutions will be at sizeable discounts, whether the note is cash flow impaired or is current with its payments.
There has been an across-the-board lack of liquidity (both debt financing and equity capital) and there are continued downward pressures on real estate assets (with the exception of fully-leased “trophy” assets in key geographic markets). The access to capital problem and the slow economic climate have created major problems. For example, the high unemployment rate has caused decreased need for office space. The lack of demand for space has lowered property-level net operating income. Significant changes in available financing terms and declines in values have resulted in many outstanding loans to not be able to be refinanced. In other cases, borrowers have been required to put additional equity into investments in order to get refinancing completed; in many cases, the borrower does not have additional capital to pay down the existing debt.
Lenders are facing significant maturities over the next several years. From 2010 through 2014, approximately
$2.5 trillion of commercial real estate will expire, as profiled in the below chart.

WPERP M ADISON R EALTY C APITAL
Community savings banks continue to be pressed by the FDIC and other regulatory entities to repair battered balance sheets and replenish capital requirements. During the year 2010, 157 FDIC-insured banking institutions were shut down, leaving approximately 8,000 FDIC insured institutions. Thus far in the year
2011, 23 institutions have been closed through the end of February.
Of the approximately $3.4 trillion in outstanding commercial real estate debt, approximately 50% is on the balance sheet of federally insured banks, with over $1.0 trillion maturing before 2012. Peak origination years of 2005-2007 will lead to federally insured banks seeking payoffs and/or pay downs on rolling commercial real estate debt in 2011-2012 and beyond.
Madison believes the “new” real estate capital structure within the real estate debt market has resulted from increased debt service coverage ratios, stricter underwriting of real estate and hard caps on loan-to-value ratios. Traditional sources of commercial real estate loans are considering a much more limited pool of properties and borrowers. Madison believes that the macroeconomic trends in the broader U.S. economy (i.e. job losses and increased savings) are challenging operating performance at the property level, providing lower loan proceeds and decreased asset valuations. Additionally, it is Madison’s view that properties encumbered by short-term debt or maturing floating-rate loans are facing more complicated refinance options.
Madison expects that: (i) commercial real estate fundamentals (rents and vacancy rates) will continue to deteriorate, in some cases for several years; (ii) defaults on commercial real estate debt will continue to climb over the next year or more, reaching historically high levels; and (iii) the commercial real estate sector is likely to face a severe “refinancing crisis” over the next several years, even with commercial real estate fundamentals improving.
D EAL F LOW P IPELINE
Madison’s management team brings numerous commercial real estate relationships (including owners, commercial banks, niche operators, mortgage brokers, investment bankers, attorneys and independent bankruptcy advisors) and a history of successfully closing transactions in excess of $2 billion within the real estate community.
Madison’s team of originators and management team currently source an average of 150 to 200 deals per week through these various channels. Generally speaking, the vast majority of these transactions can be
“weeded out” in very short order for a variety of reasons (deal size, property type, lack of cash flow, etc.).
Industry contacts and relationships are tracked through a customized software program which allows targeted direct marketing campaigns based on geographic location, market size, and property types. The Fund will draw upon the infrastructure of Madison Realty Capital, which has developed a national advertising/marketing campaign targeting mortgage brokers and owners throughout the US and has devoted considerable resources into creating and expanding its brand name within the lending community.

WPERP has a reduced fee on committed but un-invested capital. The fee on un-invested capital is 0.5% per annum. The management fee on invested capital is 1.5%. WPERP is also being granted a most favored nation status.
The GP promote is as follows:
100% to the LPs until the LPs receive a 9% cumulative IRR; then
100% to the LPs until the LPs have received a return of their capital commitments; then
50% to the LPs, 50% to GP until GP has received 20% of all distributions, net of distributions of LP original capital invested; thereafter
80% to the LPs, 20% to GP.
Based on the fee structure of other funds in the marketplace, and the 9% preferred return of the Fund,
Courtland believes that the fees of the Madison Realty Capital Sullivan Debt Fund are reasonable, albeit slightly on the high side when compared to the other funds Courtland has evaluated.

1.
Madison’s transactions are in the senior position in capital structure;
2.
Relatively simple, straightforward transactions compared to other distressed funds;
3.
Strong underwriting capabilities/firm professionals;
4.
Excellent past track record, particularly given vintage year of last fund;
5.
Diversification/mix of originated bridge loans and distressed loans purchased;
6.
Small size of the Fund and transaction sizes;
7.
Mitigated interest rate risk with the Fund; and
8.
Madison’s deal sourcing pipeline/relationship with local banks.
