Dear Esteemed Colleague:

The distressed real estate landscape may look differentthan it did a year ago, but for investors and industry playerswho know where to look, it’s no less fertile. Transactionsare definitely happening.

However, the deluge of great deals never happened, andit may never come.  For those who are successfully gettingtheir claws in deals, the discounts are not living up toexpectations, with rare exceptions. And for many, gettingaccess to deal flow has turned out to be much moredifficult than expected. Banks and special servicersappear to be repeating a similar mantra in unison: “If Idon’t already know you, I don’t want to know you.”

With that said, how do we get deals at deep discounts thatappear to be warranted due to decreased valuations,impaired cash flows and/or distressed sellers? And howdo relative newcomers get access to deals from which theyare currently excluded without going through the front doorof brokers and over-valued asking prices? These questionswill be addressed during today’s conference.

From a borrower’s perspective, capital markets are offeringincredibly low rates for performing properties, but what doyou do if you are still struggling with an inverted capitalstack or under-/non-performing property? Many bankshave a “take-it-or-leave it” attitude when it comes torelations with distressed borrowers. 

So, what creative strategies are borrowers putting into playto bring lenders and special servicers to the table? Whereare borrowers turning for fresh capital? Which investorsare leading three-party deals (aka short sales) for commer-cial property? How does a borrower get out from underpersonal guarantees and avoid l i fe -devastat ingconsequences?

These questions are core to the agenda.

In the room today are investors, borrowers, banks,servicers, attorneys, brokers, workout consultants, andmore.  We hope you will take the opportunity to get toknow your fellow attendees and explore the possibility ofworking with them.

Thank you for helping to make today successful!

Marc Benezra, Partner, BAKER & HOSTETLER LLPSam Freshman, Chairman & CEO, STANDARD MANAGEMENTStanley Iezman, Chairman & CEO, AMERICAN REALTY ADVISORSMichael Rosenfeld, Founder & CEO, WOODRIDGE CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC

These days finding distress in the real estate sector is not the challenge; the realchallenge is finding the best opportunities in the sector that offer the greatestvalue. How does one source an interesting opportunity, narrow the bid-ask spread,and ultimately get the transaction structured and closed? Finding those answersstarts with asking more questions. For example, what is the size of the investor’scapital base and what does it consist of. Is it long-term capital or is liquidity required? Capital sources: Private money, Bridge lenders, which is the best routeto take? What are some of the current deals that we’ve seen and how were theyaccomplished? What role do ‘trophy’ properties play in the distressed arena?

Where the Deals Are in 2011: Buying Assets from Banks and Special ServicersModerator - Eric Remensperger, Partner, PROSKAUER

Martin Bronstein, Founder & Chairman, THE SITUS COMPANIESDavid Frank, CEO, THE MERRILL COMPANIESBob Kline, Principal & CEO, RW KLINE COMPANIESKeith Hall, Managing Partner, KBS CAPITAL ADVISORS

Lenders and servicers continue to be inundated with properties entering specialservicing with little time to answer phone calls or field requests from investors. Be-cause banks and special servicers are holding such a large percentage of troubledproperties, getting insight into their processes, procedures, and practices is key tounderstanding the best way to tap into this market.

11:45AM

CRE Workouts: Restructuring, Litigation, and Desperate MeasuresModerator - Barbara Champoux, Partner, CROWELL & MORING

Leslie Lundin, Managing Partner, LBG REALTY ADVISORS, LLCMark Mersel, Partner, BRYAN CAVE LLPDavid Stapleton, Founder, STAPLETON GROUP

With a wave of maturities coming due in 2012 (an estimated $500 billion in CREloans are set to mature) demand for restructuring will continue to increase. In suchan environment, the resounding question from the owners’ and lenders’ perspec-tive is: Should we restructure or do we need to sell? Conversely the answer to thatquestion for buyers is definitely, “sell.” This session will explore both viewpoints.

Track A - Tax Liens – GFI Tax Receivables: How to Buy and Trade Property Tax Liens Profitably

Tom McOsker, Head of Tax Receivables, GFI GROUPHoward Liggett, President, DISTRESSED REAL ESTATE CONSULTING SERVICES, INC.

Tax lien investing is entering a new paradigm. The emergence of an institutionalizedsecondary market in this lucrative asset class is allowing for both real estate focused, and arbitrage focused, managers to participate in this space. For managers seeking yields, tax liens can provide investors with mid-teen returns, while maintaining an uncorrelated and low risk portfolio. For managersseeking real estate, tax liens can be an alternative way to acquire real propertywith an extremely low cost basis and superior creditor position. Explore the basicsof traditional tax lien investing in Part I of the workshop, and learn how new active trading strategies in this century-old asset are creating outsized returns for some managers during Part II.

Track B - Working with Receivers: How to Get Access to Deals to Buy and Broker

Moderator - William Hoffman, President & CEO, TRIGILD

Marc Brooks, Executive Vice President, MARA ESCROWMark Mersel, Partner, Bryan Cave LLPPhil Seymour, Managing Director, THE SEYMOUR GROUP/ELITE PROPERTIES REALTYRobert Smylie, Founder, SMYLIE & ASSOCIATES

Receivers control assets that you want to buy or broker. This workshop helps youget access, such as: how to get a listing from a receiver; what to do if your listingends up in receivership; how to get access to acquisition opportunities in receivership; and the do’s and don’ts of buying and brokering deals in receivership.

Office Properties in California and Western U.S.Moderator - John McDermott, National Director,

Office & Industrial Properties, SPERRY VAN NESS

Tom Bohlinger , Executive Vice President, CB RICHARD ELLISMark Laderman, Managing Director, TISHMAN SPEYERKev Zoryan, Managing Director, MORGAN STANLEY

Office properties appear to be moving much more slowly through workout, receivership, special servicing. Would-be acquirers are stymied by the longprocess. What can be done to move things along faster? Is suburban office (aka smaller deals) the only type of property that can be transacted today? Are note buying strategies working? Who is successful, who is waiting to pounce, and who has given up?

2:30PM

Hot(el) Pursuit: Distressed Hospitality PropertiesModerator - Philippe Phaneuf, Shareholder, GREENBERG TRAURIG

Robert Hazard, Vice President of Acquisitions & Development, HERSHA HOSPITALITY TRUST

William Hoffman, President & CEO, TRIGILDRobert Stiles, EVP & Principal, Head of Western Region, CUSHMAN WAKEFIELD

The hospitality sector is considered by some to be both volatile and tricky presenting distinct challengers to services, lenders and investors alike. Of late, however, some are beginning to ask if these sectors are starting to improve and, all things considered, if things are “looking up.” As sales and travel being to tick up, will the distressed opportunities decrease?

3:15PM

Refreshment Break in Exhibit Hall

3:45PM

The Real Estate Capital Markets: Raising Capital for Distressed AcquisitionsModerator - Mark Levinson, Shareholder, GREENBERG TRAURIG

Mark Omid Bolour, CEO & Principal, BOLOUR ASSOCIATESSteve Fried, Principal, MESA WEST CAPITALRaymond Lowe, Senior Vice President,

WELLS FARGO REAL ESTATE BANKING GROUPJoel Mayer, Director, Head of Retail, ROCKWOOD CAPITALMark Strauss, Managing Director and Partner, COHEN FINANCIAL

The real estate capital markets continue to play the role of bottleneck in the gameof acquisitions cat-and-mouse. While debt is readily available for performing multi-family and Class-A office building assets, it gets pricey and more difficult to obtainfor almost all other real estate asset classes.

This session will answer questions such as: How much longer will current deleverag-ing process continue? What is the current outlook for the California market in comparison to the nation? What is the outlook for the foreseeable future? And, what are today’s best ways to take advantage of the current and future waveof distressed real estate assets?

4:30PM

“L.A. Residential”: Opportunities in Multifamily, Condo, and Single-family propertiesModerator - Richard Gollis, Co-Founder & Principal, THE CONCORD GROUP

Stephan Kachani, Vice President, LOAN OAK FUND LLCAlan Mark, Founder & President, THE MARK COMPANYScott McClave, Acquisitions Principal, THE BASCOM GROUPGregor Watson, Principal, MCKINLEY PARTNERS

California is “rich” with foreclosed homes and “broken” residential developments.Acquisitions teams are sweeping through, looking for the best deals. At the sametime, multifamily assets are relatively robust and performing as former home owners revert to renting. Consequently, markets are returning to “normal” as investors and acquisitions professionals increasingly work directly with borrowers and their representatives, and in California, receivers continue to be a productive source of deal flow.
