ITEM 4: PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
On February 22, 2001, California Investment Fund, LLC ("CIF") sent a
letter to U.S. Trust Company, National Association, as Escrow Agent under the
Escrow Agreement dated as of November 7, 2000 by and among California Investment
Fund, LLC and Dynex Capital, Inc. ("Dynex") and U.S. Trust Company, National
Association.
The letter notified the Escrow Agent that CIF objects to the Escrow
Deposit Request of Dynex asserting a claim ("Claim") for the Escrow Shares and
the full amount of the Escrow Fund which Dynex made by letter dated January 26,
2001. Dynex asserted its Claim pursuant to Section (4)(a)(ii) of the
above-captioned Escrow Agreement ("Escrow Agreement"), asserting that it had
terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 7, 2000
("Merger Agreement") by and among CIF, DCI Acquisition Corporation and Dynex
pursuant to Section 7(a)(vii) of the Merger Agreement as a result of an alleged
failure of CIF to satisfy a condition set forth in Section 6(b)(iii) of the
Merger Agreement and Paragraphs 2 and 3 of a letter dated December 22, 2000
between Dynex and CIF ("December 22nd Letter"). CIF's letter served as an
objection ("Objection") to Dynex's Claim and Escrow Deposit Request.
- Page 5 of 8 Pages -
In accordance with Section 4(c) of the Escrow Agreement, CIF set forth
its reasons for its Objection as follows:
1) CIF contends the Merger Agreement is in full force and effect.
Dynex's purported termination of the Merger Agreement was
without basis and is void, null and of no effect because it
was done in bad faith since Dynex knew: (1) that it had caused
or contributed to any delays encountered by CIF in performing
its obligations under the Merger Agreement including any
delays it may have experienced in fulfilling its obligations
under Section 5(e) of the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter; (2) CIF would be able
to cure any deficiency in its performance in a short period of
time; and (3) any such brief delay would not injure Dynex.
2) Dynex's purported termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant
to Section 7(a)(vii) was without basis and is void, null and
of no effect because CIF substantially performed its
obligations under the Merger Agreement and any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter.
3) Dynex's actions and omissions directly and indirectly hindered
CIF's performance under the Merger Agreement and contributed
materially to any alleged failure by CIF to perform any of the
conditions under the Merger Agreement including any delays it
may have experienced in fulfilling its obligations under
Section 5(e) of the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter. As a result of Dynex's
actions and omissions, any alleged failure by CIF to perform
the conditions of the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter is deemed to be waived
or excused under the doctrine of prevention. Accordingly, CIF
did not breach the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter and Dynex's purported
termination is null, void and of no effect.
In accordance with Section 6(e) of the Escrow Agreement, CIF requested that
the Escrow Agent hold all of the Escrow Shares and Escrow Fund.

Attention: Corporate Trust Division
Re: Escrow Agreement dated as of November 7, 2000 by and among
California Investment Fund, LLC and Dynex Capital, Inc. and
U.S. Trust Company, National Association
Dear Madam or Sir:
This is to notify you that California Investment Fund, LLC ("CIF")
objects to the Escrow Deposit Request of Dynex Capital, Inc. ("Dynex") asserting
a claim ("Claim") for the Escrow Shares and the full amount of the Escrow Fund
which Dynex made by letter dated January 26, 2001. Dynex asserted its Claim
pursuant to Section (4)(a)(ii) of the above-captioned Escrow Agreement ("Escrow
Agreement"), asserting that it had terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of November 7, 2000 ("Merger Agreement") by and among CIF, DCI
Acquisition Corporation and Dynex pursuant to Section 7(a)(vii) of the Merger
Agreement as a result of an alleged failure of CIF to satisfy a condition set
forth in Section 6(b)(iii) of the Merger Agreement and Paragraphs 2 and 3 of a
letter dated December 22, 2000 between Dynex and CIF ("December 22nd Letter").
This letter is CIF's objection ("Objection") to Dynex's Claim and Escrow Deposit
Request.
In accordance with Section 4(c) of the Escrow Agreement, CIF sets forth
its reasons for its Objection as follows:
1) CIF contends the Merger Agreement is in full force and effect.
Dynex's purported termination of the Merger Agreement was
without basis and is void, null and of no effect because it
was done in bad faith since Dynex knew: (1) that it had caused
or contributed to any delays encountered by CIF in performing
its obligations under the Merger Agreement including any
delays it may have experienced in fulfilling its obligations
under Section 5(e) of the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter; (2) CIF would be able
to cure
A-1
any deficiency in its performance in a short period of
time; and (3) any such brief delay would not injure Dynex.
2) Dynex's purported termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant
to Section 7(a)(vii) was without basis and is void, null and
of no effect because CIF substantially performed its
obligations under the Merger Agreement and any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter.
3) Dynex's actions and omissions directly and indirectly hindered
CIF's performance under the Merger Agreement and contributed
materially to any alleged failure by CIF to perform any of the
conditions under the Merger Agreement including any delays it
may have experienced in fulfilling its obligations under
Section 5(e) of the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter. As a result of Dynex's
actions and omissions, any alleged failure by CIF to perform
the conditions of the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter is deemed to be waived
or excused under the doctrine of prevention. Accordingly, CIF
did not breach the Merger Agreement or any applicable
provision of the December 22nd Letter and Dynex's purported
termination is null, void and of no effect.
In accordance with Section 6(e) of the Escrow Agreement, please
continue to hold all of the Escrow Shares and Escrow Fund. Thank you for your
assistance with this matter.
