CIM QUALIFIED COMMUNITY METHODOLOGY 13 Qualification Criteria Transitional Urban Districts Improving demographics Broad public support for CIM’s investment approach Evidence of private investment from other institutional investors Underserved niches in the community’s real estate infrastructure Potential to invest a minimum of $100 million of opportunistic equity within five years Thriving Urban Areas Positive demographic trends Public support for investment Opportunities below intrinsic value Potential to invest a minimum of $100 million of opportunistic equity within five years CIM believes that its community qualification process provides it with a significant competitive advantage when making urban real estate investments. Since 1994, CIM has qualified 103 communities in high barrier-to-entry sub-markets and has invested in 50 of the communities. The qualification process generally takes between 6 months and 5 years and is a critical component of CIM’s investment evaluation. CIM examines the characteristics of a market to determine whether the district justifies the extensive efforts CIM undertakes in reviewing and making potential investments in its Qualified Communities. The communities are located in both primary and secondary urban centers, which can encompass (1) transitional urban districts and growth markets adjacent to CBDs and/or (2) well-established, thriving urban areas including major CBDs.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS 16 (In thousands)

Debt summary- CONTINUING OPERATIONS 17 CMCT's Unsecured Credit Facility is comprised of a revolving credit facility, a term loan, and a delayed draw term loan. At December 31, 2015, the interest rates applicable to the components of CMCT's Senior Unsecured Credit Facility were based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread determined by CMCT's maximum leverage ratio, as defined. At December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the unsecured credit facility was 1.57%. This maturity date does not assume the exercise of the two one year extension options provided for in the credit agreement. The unsecured term loan facility ranks pari passu with CMCT's $850,000 credit facility; covenants under the term loan facility are substantially the same as those in the $850,000 credit facility. At December 31, 2015, the interest rate was based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread determined by CMCT's maximum leverage ratio, as defined in credit agreement. With some exceptions, any prepayment of the term loan facility prior to May 2017 will be subject to a prepayment fee up to 2% of the outstanding principal amount. The interest rate of the loan has been effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020 through interest rate swaps.

Important Disclosures Assets and Equity Under Management Assets Under Management (“AUM”), or Gross AUM, represents (i)(a) for real assets, the aggregate total gross assets (“GAV”) at fair value, including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments, of all of CIM’s advised accounts (each an “Account” and collectively, the “Accounts”) or (b) for operating companies, the aggregate GAV less debt, including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments, of all of the Accounts (not in duplication of the assets described in clause (i)(a)), plus (ii) the aggregate unfunded commitments of the Accounts, as of September 30, 2015. The GAV is calculated on the same basis as the September 30, 2015 unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a fair value basis (“Book Value”), other than as described below with respect to CIM REIT. The only investment currently held by CIM REIT consists of shares in the Company; the Book Value of CIM REIT is determined by assuming the underlying assets of the Company are liquidated based upon management’s estimate of fair value. CIM does not presently view the price of the Company’s publicly-traded shares to be a meaningful indication of the fair value of CIM REIT’s interest in the Company due to the fact that the publicly-traded shares of the Company represent less than 3% of the outstanding shares of CIM Commercial Trust Corporation and are thinly-traded. Equity Under Management (“EUM”), or Net AUM, represents the (i) aggregate NAV of the Accounts (as described below), plus (ii) the aggregate unfunded commitments of the Accounts. The NAV of each Account is based upon the aggregate amounts that would be distributable (prior to incentive fee allocations) to such Account assuming a “hypothetical liquidation” of the Account on the date of determination, assuming that: (i) investments are sold at their Book Value (as defined above); (ii) debts are paid and other assets are collected; and (iii) appropriate adjustments and/or allocations between equity investors are made in accordance with applicable documents, in each case as determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. 19
