SCOPE OF APPRAISAL ASSIGNMENT

The process of assembling this appraisal report began with identifying and quantifying, inprecise terms, the property to be appraised. The subject site was then fully inspected, andcomparable market data was assembled. Specific sale and rental data was supported with avariety of preceding data, including general market information and specific factual data onthe subject, regarding zoning, taxes, potential natural and environmental hazards, and adescription of the property. Public records, property owners, real estate brokers and datasystems of other appraisal firms, as well as internal and confidential records maintained byDelaware Appraisal Group, L.L.C., were researched, in order to obtain the sales data, inaddition to other pertinent economic data presented in this report.

In assembling and analyzing the primary data I have on this, or on recent, occasions, driventhe neighborhood; inspected at least the exterior of the properties in this vicinity; inspectedthose sales selected as being most comparable to the subject; fully inspected the subjectproperty; considered the highest and best use of the subject property; applied all appropriatevaluation techniques; reconciled all value indications, and arrived at a value conclusion forthe subject property, as of the date it was inspected.

This report is intended as a professional opinion of value, as of a certain specified date, underspecific assumptions.

Zoning Map: The subject property has a zoning of R-4 (Row Houses with ConversionsDistrict), a classification that is designed to include those areas which were originallydeveloped with one-family row houses but where many such buildings have been convertedfor the use of two or more families. It would retain the general row house character of theseareas, permitting conversions for an additional family or families only if approved by thezoning board of adjustment. To encourage assembly and rebuilding, new apartment houseswith not more than two families on each story are permitted. Some institutions excluded fromthe one-family districts are permitted. The past/current use of the property is considered to bein compliance with the City of Wilmington Zoning Code as a legal, non-conforming use. Asection of the Wilmington zoning map is submitted below, with the subject’s approximatelocation delineated.

PROPERTY INFORMATION

Neighborhood Description: The subject property is located just north of the central businessdistrict of the City of Wilmington, in northern New Castle County, Delaware. This generalgeographical section of Wilmington is comprised of a mixture of residential, commercial andinstitutional land uses. A number of properties situated on Washington Street consist ofoffice buildings, residences and residences being converted into commercial use. The subjectarea is one of a middle socio-economic basis, with many of the existing structures exhibitingminimal accrued depreciation. Overall, the area is well established, and there appears to beno single neighboring land use that would adversely impact the subject properties. Thesubject possesses convenient access to several traffic arteries (12th/Market/Walnut Streets andInterstate 95), which facilities travel to and from the property.

The subject has exposure to major highways and amenities such as shopping and employment,which provide it with a favorable commercial-type location as a parking lot. In synopsis, thesubject property is located in a well-established section of the City of Wilmington with similarland uses. No change in this pattern of real estate activity is foreseen within the next two tothree years. The existing use of the subject property, in a 9-car parking lot capacity, isconsidered to be in keeping with the general land use patterns of the neighborhood. Little, ifany, appreciation is forecast for the subject property and the majority of the surrounding realestate through 2013. From available information, it would appear that the rather stable socio-economic base of this geographical area will continue to favorably impact the subject propertyand the general neighborhood for the foreseeable future.

Site Description: The property under appraisement consists of a basically cleared/level,rectangular-shaped tax parcel that contains a land area approximating 0.04 acres (with 18.00’frontage x 87.00’ depth per New Castle County tax records). The site is improved with ninemarked car spaces on a blacktop surface that fronts Wollaston Street. A section of the NewCastle County tax maps is submitted as Page 9, which delineates the subject property. Thosephotographs submitted as Pages 10-12 will provide the reader with an overview of the subjectsite and neighboring land uses. All utilities are assumed to be available in an adequate supplyto accommodate the highest and best use of the site.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

The subject property is assumed to have no environmental problems or environmentalcontamination that would render this value estimate null and void. No such problems orcontamination are known to your appraiser, but I am not an expert in those fields and,therefore, make no guarantees as to the accuracy of this statement. The reader may wish tohave an environmental audit conducted with respect to the presence of various soil/subsurfacewater contaminants. Hazardous substances could include toxic substances, wastes, pollutants,material/contaminates (including asbestos, asbestos containing materials, petroleum productsand any other substances or materials which are included under, regulated by or subject to anylocal, state or federal law, rule or regulation pertaining to environmental regulation,contamination, clean-up or disclosure.

The value provided herein is exclusive of the fee to complete such reports and/or the cost tocure any environmental contamination that may be discovered. If any environmental problemswere detected, the property's market value would be reduced, at the very least, by the "cost-to-cure" such contamination and/or problems. It is further assumed that the parcel does notcontain any type of dump site and that there are no underground tanks (or any undergroundsource) leaking toxic or hazardous chemicals into the ground or the environment unlessotherwise noted in the report. Also, it is assumed there are no underground fuel storage tankslocated on the subject property in a functional or abandoned nature.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

Highest and Best Use is defined as "The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land oran improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financiallyfeasible and that results in the highest value". Because use of land can be limited by thepresence of improvements, Highest and Best Use is determined separately for the site asthough vacant and available to be put to it Highest and Best Use and for the property aspresently improved. The Highest and Best Use of the site as though vacant and the propertyas improved are analyzed and each use must meet the following four criteria:

1) Legally Permissible - that use which is or will be permitted under existing orreasonably attainable zoning and/or other regulations;2) Physically Possible - that use for which the property is physically suitable oradaptable;3) Financially Feasible - that use for which there is an economic, social and/ormarket demand that results in a positive return;4) Maximally Productive - that use which produces the highest price, or value,consistent with the rate of return warranted by the market.

"As Vacant Land" - Under this premise, I am of the opinion that the maximum dollar valueof the subject property would be realized through development of the land with parking inconjunction with neighboring commercial/office operations. There appears to be a limiteddemand for small unimproved land parcels in this section of Wilmington for futuredevelopment, such as the subject property. Such usage would be in keeping with the generalcharacter of the subject neighborhood.

"As Improved" – As noted, the subject real estate consists of vacant land, therefore, theunimproved nature of the subject property would preclude any consideration of this land usepremise.

Conclusion - With consideration given the pertinent site features and the demand for such realestate in the prevailing marketplace, I have concluded that the optimum utilization of thesubject property would be realized through its continued use as a parking lot, whereby itshighest value could be obtained, if offered for sale on the open market.

APPRAISAL PROCESS

The estimating of a real property's market value involves a systematic process in which theproblem is defined; the work necessary to solve the problem is planned; and the data requiredis gathered, classified, analyzed and interpreted into an estimate of value. In this process, threebasic approaches are used by the appraiser, which are defined in the 3rd edition of theDictionary of Real Estate Appraisal by the Appraisal Institute as:

THE COST APPROACH estimates the cost of replacing the property'simprovements, depreciating the improvements to their present worth, if applicable,then adding this to 1) depreciated value of the improvements to 2) the property's landvalue, and 3) the value of any site improvements, to derive an indication of marketvalue. This approach is typically utilized where the major improvements are new ornearly new and depreciation can be reliably estimated, or where special purposeproperties are concerned. Due to the unimproved nature of the subject property, thisapproach has not been utilized in this assignment.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH is a set of procedures through whichan appraiser derives a value indication for an income-producing property by convertingits anticipated benefits (cash flows and reversion) into property value. This conversioncan be accomplished in two ways. One year's income expectancy can be capitalized ata market-derived capitalization rate that reflects a specified income pattern, return oninvestment, and change in the value of the investment. Alternatively, the annual cashflows for the holding period and the reversion can be discounted at a specified yieldrate. Parking lots, such as the subject property, are usually leased, therefore, thisapproach was utilized in this assignment as a check on reasonableness.

DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH is a set of procedures in which avalue indication is derived by comparing the property being appraised to similarproperties that have been sold recently, applying appropriate units of comparison, andmaking adjustments to the sale prices of the comparables based on the elements ofcomparison. The direct sales comparison approach may be used to value improvedproperties, vacant land, or land being considered as though vacant; it is the mostcommon and preferred method of real estate valuation when comparable sales data isavailable. This approach has been utilized in this assignment.

Page 21: APPRAISAL OF THE REAL PROPERTY€¦ · Wells Fargo Bank RETECHS June 7, 2013 Mr. Jerry Adkins (WDC) 160 Hurlburt Street Glastonbury, CT 06033 WF-PA-13-002039-03 RE: APPRAISAL OF THE

16

RECONCILIATION is the last phase of any valuation assignment in which thevarious value indications derived from market data are resolved into a final valueestimate, which may be either a final range of value or a single point estimate.

Normally the appraiser will base an opinion of market value on one or more of these threeapproaches, properly emphasizing one or another as the circumstances may warrant. Withrespect to the property under appraisement, two of the approaches were considered inconcluding a final value estimate for the subject property. It is the opinion of your appraiserthat the Income Capitalization and Direct Sales Comparison Approaches accurately reflect thethinking of a buyer for the subject property in the prevailing marketplace.

VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH

The Income Capitalization Approach is a good indication of value for real estate which isprimarily held for investment. It is not normally a prime approach for an owner/user typefacility, except as it relates to the principle of substitution; that is, an occupant would not paymore for use of a property than it would cost to purchase a substitute one, except underpeculiar circumstances. This approach is a process in which the anticipated flow of futurebenefits (actual dollar income or amenities) is discounted to a present worth figure through thecapitalization process. This process utilizes a capitalization rate that is derived from the marketand varies with time and economic conditions. This rate is reflective of the cost of the riskinvolved in ownership or operation of the particular property and the required return oninvestment.

This approach is primarily concerned with the future benefits resulting from net income. Netincome is the remainder after deduction of operational expenses from the effective grossincome. The steps in this approach include estimating potential gross income and expensesthrough comparison with competing properties, market experiences and/or actual statements ofthe subject operation. The final determination of net income is then capitalized into anindication of present value. The subject property is a parking lot, which is leased to severalvehicles. The tenant list is included as Exhibit C in the Addenda, which appears to representmarket rent for such parking space. Parking meters, with 2-hour maximum limits, surround thesubject site, while other comparable parking lots in close proximity to the subject offer fewvacancies. Capitalization is at the 8.4% rate supported by the mortgage-equity concept,subsequently cited within this report. Calculation of an overall Net Operating Income (NOI)for the property is summarized on the next page:

The rentals would be on a relatively gross basis, with the owner responsible formaintenance, property taxes and insurance. After analyzing the market and data submitted inthe addendum, $75.00 per month was used for the parking spaces:

RECONSTRUCTED OPERATING STATEMENT AND CAPITALIZATION

GROSS ANNUAL INCOME

9 Parking Spaces @ $75.00 per Month x 12 Months = $8,100

Minus Vacancy/Collection Loss Allowance (05%) ($405)

EFFECTIVE GROSS ANNUAL INCOME (EGI) $7,695

OPERATING EXPENSES

Real Estate Taxes $393Maintenance, Insurance, Management,Replacement & Reserve @ 5% of EGI $385 (rd)

Total Operating Expenses: ($385)

NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI) $7,310

Through my study of the marketplace, I concluded the foregoing rental and operating expenses to berepresentative of the market for such parking space. Available information indicated that there hasbeen and should continue to be a sustained demand for such space, however, a vacancy allowance of05% should be allocated since tenant “turn-over” will occur, but should be nominal on such space.With respect to operating expenses, I utilized projections for certain management/reserve areas. It isacknowledged that the subject property has been and may continue to be managed/maintained by theowner, however, an appropriate adjustment was made to reflect the thinking of a knowledgeable buyerfor this anticipated expense. In addition, an allowance was made for "Replacement Reserve" which isan annual fund that is set-aside to cover such capital improvements as parking lot repaving. The finalstep in this approach is the capitalization of the estimated net income into an indication of value.Summarized below is the composition of the overall capitalization rate by the mortgage-equityconcept. Under this concept, the mortgage rate is combined with an appropriate rate for equity return toprovide an indicated capitalization rate. The following scenario was utilized:

interest rate of 5.0% indicated mortgage constant of 0.0791947 amortization of 20 years loan-to-value ratio of 75%

The selected mortgage rate approximates 175 basis points over the prevailing Prime Rate of 3.25% and300+ basis points over the 10-year Treasury Securities, which are cross references utilized indetermining commercial mortgage components by local lenders. In past years, the differential mayhave only been 100 basis points, however, with unprecedented and unstable economic conditions,banks appear reluctant to loan at rates less than 4.0-5.5% for the typical commercial borrower. Thecomponents comprising the capitalization rate are considered to be reflective of the banking industrywithin New Castle County, Delaware, with the interest rate fixed for 3-5 years, but amortized over a20-year term, while the interest rate for subsequent years could “float” with the Prime Rate. To attractequity capital, an appropriate return would be required. In determining the rate of return on equity,consideration was given several alternative investment vehicles that would be available to the potentialbuyer of the subject property. From information provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis forthe week ending May 17, 2013, the alternative investment vehicles considered appropriate under thesecircumstances were:

Selected Security YieldsCorporate Aaa Bonds…….….…. 3.91% 5-Year Treasury Bill…...………… 0.83%Corporate Baa Bonds…....….…. 4.74% 10-Year Treasury Bill…...….…..... 1.93%Municipal Bonds……….....…… 3.61% 30-Year Treasury Securities…....... 3.14%

Real estate returns have many of the same elements which track other investment capital. Essentialparts of any form of investment return are safety, management, liquidity and risk. My analysis of theabove information indicates that alternative forms of investment for capital approximate 0.8-4.7% forlong-term investment vehicles. An important consideration is the level of risk that may be incurredwith these alternatives.

Real estate obviously has greater risk than these other forms and requires a positive adjustmentfor risk as well as for liquidity and management. The property under appraisement concerns thevaluation of a parking lot in average overall physical condition and good functional utility. Inaddition, there is a sustained demand for such investment-type real estate in the prevailingmarketplace. For these reasons, the overall rate of return for the subject property wasassembled by considering the above long term yield rates and adding a risk factor of 6.0%. Inview of the criteria cited, a rate of 10.0% was chosen as an appropriate overall rate of returnfor the subject property. Application of the foregoing data indicates a capitalization rate asfollows:

Mortgage Component: 0.75 x 0.0791947 = 0.059396Equity Component: 0.25 x 0.1000000 = 0.025000Basic Capitalization Rate: 0.084396 or say 8.4%

The above technique of arriving at a capitalization rate represents typical thinking in themarket by the investor or user who must consider alternative methods of either purchasing orrenting. Applying this capitalization rate to the estimated net annual incomes indicate thefollowing value estimates through the Income Capitalization Approach:

$7,310 (NOI) / 0.084 (Capitalization Rate) = $87,024Rounded to $85,000

VALUE ESTIMATE BY THE DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

This approach has at its core the principle of substitution, which states that "a prudentpurchaser will pay no more for real property than the cost of acquiring an equally desirablesubstitute on the open market". Thus, the property’s total value can be estimated by thismethod. It should be noted that under this approach to value, the subject property has beencompared to the available sales involving neighboring parking lots on a unit basis of “Dollarsper Parking Space ($/Space) paid”. It has been my experience that this unit of comparison isreliable, since it is commonly utilized or cited in the listing, sale, purchase and/or appraisal ofsuch real estate. The unit values were then adjusted to reflect the differences in the individualsales, as compared to the subject, for such factors as time, location, site features and theprevailing market conditions. The value range, as indicated by the adjusted comparableproperties, is correlated into a final indication of value for the subject property. The sales onthe following pages were considered most representative of the subject property:

The foregoing analysis indicated an adjusted value range for the subject property of$4,375/Space to $10,413/Space. With consideration given the prevailing marketplace, and thesalient features of the subject property such as its location and site features, I have concludedmarket value for the subject property, through an application of the Direct Sales ComparisonApproach to be:

9 Parking Spaces @ $7,000 per Space = $63,000Rounded to $65,000

The Direct Sales Comparison Approach was based upon analysis of similar properties that soldduring the past 3+ years, and its reliability depends of the degree of similarity between thecomparable properties and the subject real estate. All comparable data possessed differencesrequiring adjustment, lending some subjectivity to the process. However, upon adjustment fordiffering factors, the data defined bracket parameters which were considered to representreliable indicators of value.

FINAL RECONCILIATION AND VALUE CONCLUSION

Final reconciliation is the process of coordinating and integrating related facts to form aunified conclusion. An orderly connection of interdependent elements is necessary for areliable determination of value. This requires a re-examination of specific data, procedures andtechniques within the framework of approaches used to derive preliminary estimates. Themethodology used in the preceding sections of this report is considered to be recognizedappraisal technique, and was reviewed in terms of adequacy, accuracy completeness ofreasoning and overall reliability. The estimates thus concluded, which are primarily based onavailable market data, produced the following figures:

COST APPROACH: N/AINCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH: $85,000DIRECT SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: $65,000

Through the application of the two approaches to value, I have attempted to show the readermy thinking and reasoning as it applied to the subject property. My analysis was orientedtowards a continued usage of the subject as a parking lot. From my investigation of pertinentdata, I have concluded that this was a reasonable and prudent use of the property and,therefore, this appraisal reflects a value that would be considered applicable by aknowledgeable, prospective buyer for the property. It is my opinion that a potential buyer forthe property would have incorporated the two respective approaches in their analysis whencontemplating a possible purchase of the real estate. With consideration given the nature ofthe subject property, your appraiser has given primary weight to the application of theIncome Capitalization Approach in determining final conclusions of market value for thesubject property, with the Direct Sales Comparison Approach given valuable support data forthe subject. The subject parking lot is fully leased; no long-term leases are in effect; demandappears to remain high for parking in the subject’s immediate neighborhood; and there havebeen relatively few sales, with no active listings discovered for analysis.

Having considered all of the real estate data presented herein, the facts and circumstancesrelative to the subjects and the actions of the local real estate market, I have concludedmarket value of the subject property, as of May 22, 2013, to be:

EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS($85,000)

Page 37: APPRAISAL OF THE REAL PROPERTY€¦ · Wells Fargo Bank RETECHS June 7, 2013 Mr. Jerry Adkins (WDC) 160 Hurlburt Street Glastonbury, CT 06033 WF-PA-13-002039-03 RE: APPRAISAL OF THE

32

REASONABLE EXPOSURE TIME

Reasonable exposure time is one of a series of conditions in most market value definitions.Exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal, and may bedefined “as the time the property remains on the market, or the estimated length of time theproperty interest being appraised, would have been offered on the market, prior to thehypothetical consummation of a sale, at a market value, on the effective date of theappraisal”. Exposure time is a retrospective estimate, based on an analysis of past events,assuming a competitive and open market.

Sales of similar real estate generally illustrate a wide range in time, from official offering ofthe property, to closing of the sale that approximates six months to a year and a half. It isnoted that a reasonable exposure time presumes a concerted and sufficient effort to sell theproperty at a fair and appropriate price. However, discussions with local market participantsindicate that this type of property is typically not marketed in the time sense, but rather, aproperty owner will offer an open listing at an unspecified price, or above market price, whilenot needing to sell. In essence, nearly all properties are for sale “at the right price”. This, inmany cases, tends to skew exposure times of sold properties. Generally, for properties locatedin New Castle County, such as the subject, a reasonable exposure period of six months to oneyear, from offering the property for sale, to settlement on the contract. This is consistent withmy discussions with brokers, lenders, investors and/or other knowledgeable parties that havebeen involved in transactions with similar real estate.

Therefore, based on available data, and with consideration given the prevailing marketplace,I have concluded that a reasonable exposure period for the subject real estate would be sixmonths to one year. In addition, it should be noted that a forced sale, one requiring asignificantly shorter marketing/exposure period, could cause a substantial reduction in thecited value estimates.

MARKETING TIME AND MARKET PARTICIPANT INTERVIEWS

Marketing time is defined as an opinion of the amount of time it might take to sell a real orpersonal property interest at the concluded market value level during the period immediatelyafter the effective date of an appraisal. My discussions with other general appraisers andcommercial real estate salespeople such as Donald West, a certified general appraiser withDelaware Appraisal Group, and Greg Ellis, an agent with Patterson Woods – CommercialProperties, indicate six to nine months to be a reasonable marketing time to obtain theestimated market value of the subject properties. In addition, it should be noted that a forcedsale, one requiring a significantly shorter marketing period, could cause a substantialreduction in the cited value estimates.

33

From the information available to your appraiser and conversations with the previous-mentioned real estate professionals, I have formed the opinion that a future sale of the subjectproperties would be directly affected by the following factors:

1) Property has proximity to major roadways;2) Fully occupied parking lot provides investment appeal to a future landlord;3) Property is a legal, non-conforming use as a parking lot;4) Small parcel size somewhat restricts building development;5) Unprecedented low commercial mortgage rates during 2002-2007 allowed

the typical buyer to pay more for a property, circumstances exacerbated bythe scarcity of available commercial real estate. This situation appeared toaccelerate property appreciation for most real estate during that timeframe.However, changing economic conditions and a deteriorating real estatemarket decreased demand from late 2007/early 2008, with gradual declinesin value realized through 2010;

6) Reasonable demand continues to exist for such commercial-type real estate,while a limited supply of good, well designed properties is available forsale. Demand tends to exceed supply, a factor that would typically supportvalue appreciation. However, the current economic climate appears to havenegated that factor, although the general market appears to have stabilizedsomewhat in the second/third quarters of 2011. Even so, market conditionsindicate that most real estate in the subject neighborhood will notexperience any value appreciation through 2013.

The subsequent opinions of value reflect careful consideration of these factors, bothindividually and collectively, as they are viewed to impact the subject property.
