ELECTION (See instructions 2, 14 and 15 of the Letter of Transmittal)

As set forth in "The Offer" section of the Offering Circular, you may
tender your shares of Preferred Stock for cash, Dynex's 9.50% senior notes, due
February 28, 2005 (the "Senior Notes") or a combination of those two forms of
payment. You MUST make an election as to the form of payment you wish to receive
for all shares you tender. If you fail to make properly such an election with
respect to any shares of Preferred Stock you tender, you will be deemed to have
tendered such shares for cash. In addition, if the consideration you select is
oversubscribed, whether that is the cash consideration or the Senior Notes
consideration, you may elect to allocate any shares not exchanged for that
particular consideration to the other consideration, instead of having your
shares of Preferred Stock that are not exchanged for the oversubscribed
consideration returned to you.

IMPORTANT: If you elect to tender your shares in exchange for either Senior
Notes or for a combination of cash and Senior Notes, or if you elect to receive
Senior Notes in the event of an oversubscription of the cash consideration, do
not return your certificates or this letter of transmittal to the Exchange
Agent. Instead, you must tender your shares through a broker, dealer, bank or
other financial institution that either clears through or maintains a custodial
relationship with a direct or indirect participant in the book entry and
transfer system of DTC because the Senior Notes will be issued only in
book-entry form.

I wish to allocate the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that I have
tendered in the following manner:

[___] CASH OPTION: I hereby tender the number of shares of Series A Preferred

Stock set forth above for $25.20 in principal amount per tendered share

January 8, 2003. The Senior Notes will be issued in $25.00
denominations and any integral multiple thereof. In cases where the
consideration for shares tendered is not divisible, in the aggregate,
by the $25 denomination, you will receive cash consideration for the
amount in excess of the nearest $25 denomination, not to exceed $24.99;

OR

[___] COMBINATION OF CASH AND SENIOR NOTES CONSIDERATION: I hereby tender the
