March-2017 Executive Summary Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 1

1. Executive Summary

The subject of the market study is a proposed Limited-Service lodging facility. We note that for purposes of this report we have used a parcel located along Red Arrow Highway, just southwest of the intersection formed by Red Arrow Highway and Interstate 94. However, we note that development on other parcels in similar locations proximate to Interstate 94 along Red Arrow Highway may also be viable for hotel development as long as the parcels have similar location, visibility, and accessibility attributes. The brand affiliation of the proposed hotel has not yet been selected at the time of this report; we recommend a hotel in the midscale, limited-service chainscale segment. This segment of brands include the Comfort Inn, Comfort Inn & Suites, Best Western, Baymont Inn, Microtel Inn & Suites, and Tru by Hilton. Additionally, we recommend the size of the hotel to be somewhere in the range of 65-85 rooms. For purposes of this report, we have assumed a 65-room Comfort Inn & Suites. We found that full-service development was not supported at this time The property, which is expected to open on January 1, 2019, will feature approximately 65 rooms, a breakfast dining area, an indoor pool, a fitness room, a lobby workstation, a sundries counter, a guest laundry room, and vending areas. The hotel will also contain the appropriate parking capacity and all necessary back-of-the-house space. The proposed hotel would be the first hotel in the city of Bridgman. The assumed site is proximate to the Weko Beach Park, and city officials noted the potential to construct a walkway from the hotel to the park, allowing hotel guests direct access to the beach. The subject site’s location is 10530 Red Arrow Highway, Bridgman, Michigan, 49106. As noted previously, other parcels in similar locations proximate to Interstate 94 along Red Arrow Highway may also be viable for hotel development as long as the parcels have similar location, visibility, and accessibility attributes. The effective date of the report is March 9, 2017. The subject site was inspected by Meghan Bean on January 10, 2017. In addition to the inspection, Meghan Bean participated in the research for this assignment and assisted in the report’s preparation. Stacey E. Nadolny, MAI participated in the analysis and reviewed the findings, but did not personally inspect the property.

March-2017 Executive Summary Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 2

Given the preliminary stages of this hotel development, there is not a developer currently in place. The subject site is currently listed for sale for a reported price of $1,490,000. Sale history for this parcel was unavailable at the time of this study. Details pertaining to management terms were not yet determined at the time of this report; however, we assume that the proposed hotel will be managed by a professional hotel-operating company, with fees deducted at rates consistent with current market standards. We have assumed a market-appropriate total management fee of 3.0% of total revenues in our study. We recommend that the proposed subject hotel operate as a midscale, limited-service hotel. While we have placed heavy consideration on the Comfort Inn & Suites brand, which is affiliated with Choice Hotels International, Inc., a specific franchise affiliation and/or brand has yet to be finalized. Other brands in this segment include Comfort Inn, Best Western, Country Inn & Suites, Baymont Inn & Suites, and La Quinta. Based on our review of the agreement’s terms or expected terms, the Comfort Inn & Suites franchise is reflected in our forecasts with a royalty fee of 6% of rooms revenue, and a marketing assessment of 3.5% of rooms revenue. Both occupancy and average rate first peaked for this selected set of competitive hotels in 2008, resulting in a RevPAR of nearly $58, before declining to a low point of roughly $54 by year-end 2009 because of the recession. A rapid recovery began in 2010 that extended through 2012, at which time the prior RevPAR peak was exceeded. RevPAR continued to rise from 2013 through 2015, with growth driven largely by average rate. The entrance of new supply in 2009 and 2010 contributed to decreases in occupancy from 2009 through 2011; however, given the new upper-midscale property types, hoteliers were able to increase average rates market-wide. However, we note that the Hilton Garden Inn, which opened in 2011, was largely absorbed within the first year of operation. Primary factors contributing to these trends included increased commercial demand from expansions at Whirlpool and the Cook Nuclear Power Plant shutdowns every twelve months, bringing approximately 1,000 out-of-town workers several weeks. Year-to-date 2016 data illustrate relatively flat occupancy growth and a roughly $4.39 gain in average rate. RevPAR reached its high point in the summer of 2016, which was largely influenced by the biannual PGA tournament, which bolstered average rates. This event is anticipated to be held every other year through year 2024. The near-term outlook is generally positive given the strong demand generators in the area, despite the recent opening of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott and the planned Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott and Staybridge Suites. The following table provides a historical perspective on the supply and demand trends for a selected set of hotels, as provided by STR.

As illustrated, the hotel is expected to stabilize at a profitable level. Please refer to the Forecast of Income and Expense chapter of our report for a detailed explanation of the methodology used in deriving this forecast. The methodology used to develop this study is based on the market research and valuation techniques set forth in the textbooks authored by Hospitality Valuation Services for the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and the Appraisal Institute, entitled The Valuation of Hotels and Motels,1 Hotels, Motels and Restaurants: Valuations and Market Studies,2 The Computerized Income Approach to Hotel/Motel Market Studies and Valuations,3 Hotels and Motels: A Guide to Market Analysis, Investment Analysis, and Valuations,4 and Hotels and Motels – Valuations and Market Studies.5

1. All information was collected and analyzed by the staff of TS Worldwide, LLC. Information was supplied by the client and/or the property’s development team.

2. The subject site has been evaluated from the viewpoint of its physical utility for the future operation of a hotel, as well as access, visibility, and other relevant factors.

3. The subject property's proposed improvements have been reviewed for their expected quality of construction, design, and layout efficiency.

4. The surrounding economic environment, on both an area and neighborhood level, has been reviewed to identify specific hostelry-related economic and demographic trends that may have an impact on future demand for hotels.

5. Dividing the market for hotel accommodations into individual segments defines specific market characteristics for the types of travelers expected to utilize the area's hotels. The factors investigated include purpose of visit, average length of stay, facilities and amenities required, seasonality, daily demand fluctuations, and price sensitivity.

2. Description of the Site and Neighborhood

The suitability of the land for the operation of a lodging facility is an important consideration affecting the economic viability of a property and its ultimate marketability. Factors such as size, topography, access, visibility, and the availability of utilities have a direct impact on the desirability of a particular site. The subject site is located southwest of Downtown Bridgman, in the southwest quadrant of the intersection formed by Red Arrow Highway and Interstate 94. This site is in the city of Bridgman, Michigan. The subject site measures approximately 13.20 acres, or 574,992 square feet. The parcel's adjacent uses are set forth in the following table. FIGURE 2-1 SUBJECT PARCEL'S ADJACENT USES

Adjacent Use

For purposes of this market study, we have assumed the 13.2-acre parcel located just south of Interstate 94 along Red Arrow Highway is the subject site. We note that other parcels in similar locations proximate to Interstate 94 along Red Arrow Highway may also be viable for hotel development as long as the parcels have similar location, visibility, and accessibility attributes.

VIEW OF SUBJECT SITE

The topography of the site is generally flat, and the shape should permit efficient use of the site for building and site improvements, including ingress and egress. Upon completion of construction, the subject site will not contain any significant portion of undeveloped land that could be sold, entitled, and developed for alternate use. It is expected that the site will be developed fully with building and site improvements, thus contributing to the overall profitability of the hotel.

March-2017 Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 16

The neighborhood surrounding a lodging facility often has an impact on a hotel's status, image, class, style of operation, and sometimes its ability to attract and properly serve a particular market segment. This section of the report investigates the subject neighborhood and evaluates any pertinent location factors that could affect its future occupancy, average rate, and overall profitability. The neighborhood that surrounds the subject site is generally defined by Lake Street to the north, California Road to the east, Snow Road to the south, and Lake Michigan to the west. The neighborhood is characterized by restaurants, gas stations, and residential areas along the primary thoroughfares, with additional residential areas located along the secondary roadways. Some specific businesses and restaurants in the area include McDonald's, a BP gas station, and Quiznos. In general, this neighborhood is in the stable stage of its life cycle. The proposed subject hotel's opening should be a positive influence on the area; the hotel should be in character with and should complement surrounding land uses.

Economic and demographic trends that reflect the amount of visitation provide a basis from which to project lodging demand. The purpose of the market area analysis is to review available economic and demographic data to determine whether the local market will undergo economic growth, stabilize, or decline. In addition to predicting the direction of the economy, the rate of change must be quantified. These trends are then correlated based on their propensity to reflect variations in lodging demand, with the objective of forecasting the amount of growth or decline in visitation by individual market segment (e.g., commercial, meeting and group, and leisure). The market area for a lodging facility is the geographical region where the sources of demand and the competitive supply are located. The subject site is located in the city of Bridgman, the county of Berrien, and the state of Michigan. Bridgman is a part of the greater Niles-Benton Harbor Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes a majority of Berrien County. Situated along the banks of Lake Michigan between Chicago and Detroit, the cities of Bridgman, Stevensville, Benton Harbor, and St. Joseph benefit from a diverse economic base. Like much of the region, the community is deeply rooted in the manufacturing industry, although the healthcare and tourism sectors have gained vital importance within recent years. Additionally, the two nuclear power plants facilities in the region continue to draw professionals to the area during the bi-annual shutdown periods when the facilities are cleaned and retooled.

The U.S. population has grown at an average annual compounded rate of 0.8% from 2010 through 2016. The county’s population has declined slightly when compared to the nation’s population; the average annual growth rate of -0.2% between 2010 and 2016 reflects a relatively stable area. Following this population trend, per-capita personal income increased slowly, at 1.4% on average annually for the county between 2010 and 2016. Local wealth indexes have remained stable in recent years, registering a relatively modest 85.6 level for the county in 2016. Food and beverage sales totaled $218 million in the county in 2016, versus $180 million in 2010. This reflects a 3.2% average annual change, which is stronger than the -0.7% pace recorded in the prior decade, the latter years of which were adversely affected by the recession. Over the long term, the pace of growth is forecast to moderate to a more sustainable level of 0.9%, which is forecast through 2020. The retail sales sector demonstrated an annual decline of -1.0% registered in the decade 2000 to 2010, followed by an increase of 1.7% in the period 2010 to 2016. An increase of 0.8% average annual change is expected in county retail sales through 2020. The characteristics of an area's workforce provide an indication of the type and amount of transient visitation likely to be generated by local businesses. Sectors such as finance, insurance, and real estate; wholesale trade; and services produce a considerable number of visitors who are not particularly rate-sensitive. The government sector often generates transient room nights, but per-diem reimbursement allowances often limit the accommodations selection to budget and mid-priced lodging facilities. Contributions from manufacturing, construction, transportation, communications, and public utilities employers can also be important, depending on the company type. The following table sets forth the county workforce distribution by business sector in 2000, 2010, and 2016, as well as a forecast for 2020.

Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. reports that during the period from 2000 to 2010, total employment in the county contracted at an average annual rate of -1.1%. This trend was on par with the growth rate recorded by the MSA and also lagged the national average. More recently, the pace of total employment growth in the county accelerated to 0.7% on an annual average from 2010 to 2016, reflecting the initial years of the recovery. Of the primary employment sectors, Manufacturing recorded the highest increase in number of employees during the period from 2010 to 2016, increasing by 1,368 people, or 11.5%, and rising from 14.8% to 15.8% of total employment. Of the various service sub-sectors, Health Care And Social Assistance and Accommodation And Food Services were the largest employers. Strong growth was also recorded in the Total Services sector, as well as the Total Trade sector, which expanded by 8.4% and 8.4%, respectively, in the period 2010 to 2016. Forecasts developed by Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. anticipate that total employment in the county will change by 0.6% on average annually through 2020. The trend is below the forecast rate of change for the U.S. as a whole during the same period.

After the U.S. unemployment rate declined to an annual average of 4.6% in 2006 and 2007, the Great Recession, which spanned December 2007 through June 2009, resulted in heightened unemployment rates. The unemployment rate peaked at 10.0% in October 2009, after which job growth resumed; the national unemployment rate has steadily declined since 2010. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 135,000, 204,000, and 156,000 jobs in October, November, and December 2016, respectively. The strongest gains in December were recorded in the healthcare sector and the social assistance sector. The national unemployment rate remains low, at 4.9% in October, 4.6% in November, and 4.7% in December; it has remained near the 5.0% mark since August 2015, reflecting a trend of relative stability and the overall strength of the U.S. economy.

Locally, the unemployment rate was % in 2015; for this same area in 2016, the most recent month’s unemployment rate was registered at %, versus % for the same month in 2015. After showing year-over-year improvement, unemployment began to rise in 2008 as the region entered an economic slowdown, and this trend continued in 2009 as the height of the national recession took hold. However, unemployment declined in 2010 as the economy rebounded, a trend that continued through 2015. The most recent comparative period illustrates a slight increase in unemployment, which can be attributed to the reported restructuring at Whirlpool Corporation. However, our interviews with economic development officials reflect a positive outlook, primarily attributed to healthy employment levels at local entities such as Lakeland Health. Providing additional context for understanding the nature of the regional economy, the following table presents a list of the major employers in the subject property’s market.

Berrien County benefits from a diverse economy, with manufacturing, higher education, and health care serving as the primary economic anchors for the market, as evidenced by the city's top employers: Lakeland Regional Health System, the Whirlpool Corporation, and Andrews University. In 2016, Lakeland Medical Center announced plans for a $160-million expansion, which will include adding a new five-floor medical building and renovating 80,000 square feet of existing space. Whirlpool Corporation has invested approximately $155 million over the past several years, including a Refrigeration and Technology Center, as well as a newly revamped Headquarters Building along the St. Joseph River. The region is also home to two large nuclear power facilities, Cook Nuclear Power Plant and Palisades Power Plant. In 2016, Eagle Technologies invested approximately $6 million to open a new 150,000-square-foot plant, creating an additional 100 jobs. Furthermore, the tourism industry in Berrien County is growing, as the Harbor Shores Golf Club in Benton Harbor has been chosen to host the PGA Senior Championship every other year from 2016 through 2024. Moreover, the addition of this upscale golfing community has attracted an influx of middle- and upper-class residents from around the region to establish second homes. Within Bridgman, The Haymarket Brewing Company opened a new brew house and production brewery in the former Michigan State Police Department building in early 2017. The diversity of economic anchors in Berrien County should bolster the local economy in the near term. Airport passenger counts are important indicators of lodging demand. Depending on the type of service provided by a particular airfield, a sizable percentage of arriving passengers may require hotel accommodations. Trends showing changes

in passenger counts also reflect local business activity and the overall economic health of the area. South Bend International Airport, located three miles northwest of South Bend, is Indiana's second-busiest airport in terms of commercial traffic and the third busiest in terms of cargo. The airport is one of only a few transportation facilities in America that provides air, interstate bus, and interstate rail service from one multi-modal terminal. Commercial air service is provided by several airlines, which offer nonstop service to various major cities across the United States. A 45,000-square-foot concourse expansion was completed in February 2012, featuring nine additional gates and modern passenger amenities. In April 2014, airport officials announced the name change from South Bend Regional Airport to South Bend International Airport. The airport is currently undergoing a $9-million addition, which will include new international facilities and a new general aviation facility; the project is scheduled for completion by the spring of 2017. The following table illustrates recent operating statistics for the South Bend International Airport, which is the primary airport facility serving the proposed subject hotel’s submarket.

This facility recorded 623,903 passengers in 2015. The change in passenger traffic between 2014 and 2015 was 3.6%. The average annual change during the period shown was -1.5%. The subject market benefits from a variety of tourism and leisure attractions in the area. Leisure demand generators include Weko Beach, Warren Dunes State Park, the Golf Club at Harbor Shores, and many local breweries and wineries in the area. We note that Weko Beach attracts approximately 300,000 visitors in 2016, while Warren Dunes State Park attracted over 1.7 million annual visitors in 2016. Special events also play a role during key weekends, such as the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Fest, Weko Beach Brewer's Festival, Maytag Presents IRONMAN Steelhead 70.3 Triathlon, the PGA Senior Championship, and the Blossomtime Festival. No major changes related to these attributes of the market are expected in the near future.

WEKO BEACH PARK

This section discussed a wide variety of economic indicators for the pertinent market area. Berrien County is experiencing a period of economic strength and expansion, primarily led by the manufacturing industry and the healthcare sector. Additionally, the leisure segment continues to grow throughout the county. Our market interviews and research revealed that Bridgman should benefit from new food and beverage outlets going forward. The outlook for the market area is positive. Our analysis of the outlook for this specific market also considers the broader context of the national economy. The U.S. economy expanded during the last ten quarters, with a relative low point in growth occurring during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. During the following three quarters, the pace of growth slowed, falling to 1.8% during the first quarter of 2016. The economy then expanded by 1.4% and 2.9% in the third quarter of 2016. In recent months, increases in personal consumption expenditures, exports, private inventory investment, federal government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment were the primary factors in the net gain.

U.S. economic growth continues to support expansion of lodging demand; however, demand growth has not been as robust in 2016 as in the last several years. As will be reflected in the following chapter, nationwide supply growth has now surpassed demand growth. Nevertheless, the stability in the U.S. economy is maintaining strong interest in hotel investments by a diverse array of market participants.

4. Supply and Demand Analysis

In the lodging industry, price varies directly, but not proportionately, with demand and inversely, but not proportionately, with supply. Supply is measured by the number of guestrooms available, and demand is measured by the number of rooms occupied; the net effect of supply and demand toward equilibrium results in a prevailing price, or average rate. The purpose of this section is to investigate current supply and demand trends, as indicated by the current competitive market, and to set forth a basis for the projection of future supply and demand growth. The subject site is located in the greater Southwestern Michigan lodging market, which includes cities such as Saint Joseph, Benton Harbor, Stevensville, and New Buffalo. This greater lodging market spans nearly 65 open and operating lodging facilities totaling roughly 4,520 guestrooms. Within this greater market, the direct submarket that will encompass the proposed subject hotel is known as Stevensville and Saint Joseph. The proposed subject hotel is expected to compete with three hotels on a primary level based on location and brand affiliation. We have considered an additional ten hotels as future secondary competitors given differences in location and hotel product. The subject property’s local lodging market is most directly affected by the supply and demand trends within the immediate area. However, individual markets are also influenced by conditions in the national lodging market. We have reviewed national lodging trends to provide a context for the forecast of the supply and demand for the proposed subject hotel’s competitive set. STR is an independent research firm that compiles and publishes data on the lodging industry, and this information is routinely used by typical hotel buyers. The following STR diagram presents annual hotel occupancy and average rate data since 1987. The next two tables contain information that is more recent; the data are categorized by geographical region, price point, type of location, and chain scale, and the statistics include occupancy, average rate, and rooms revenue per available room (RevPAR). RevPAR is calculated by multiplying occupancy by average rate and provides an indication of how well rooms revenue is being maximized.

March-2017 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 40

Following the significant RevPAR decline experienced during the last recession, demand growth resumed in 2010, led by select markets that had recorded growth trends in the fourth quarter of 2009. A return of business travel and some group activity contributed to these positive trends. The resurgence in demand was partly fueled by the significant price discounts that were widely available in the first half of 2010. These discounting policies were largely phased out in the latter half of the year, balancing much of the early rate loss. Demand growth remained strong, but decelerated from 2011 through 2013, increasing at rates of 4.7%, 2.8%, and 2.0%, respectively. Demand growth then surged to 4.0% in 2014, driven by a strong economy, a robust oil and gas sector, and limited new supply, among other factors. By 2014, occupancy had surpassed the 64% mark. Average rate rebounded similarly during this time, bracketing 4.0% annual gains from 2011 through 2014. In 2015, demand growth continued to outpace supply growth, a relationship that has been in place since 2010. With a 2.9% increase in room-nights, the nation's occupancy level reached a record high 65.4% in 2015. Supply growth intensified, but remained at 1.1%, following annual supply growth levels of 0.7% and 0.9% of 2013 and 2014, respectively. Average rate posted another strong year of growth, at 4.4% in 2015, in pace with the annual growth of the last four years. Robust job growth, intensified group and leisure travel, and waning price-sensitivity all contributed to the gains. In 2016, occupancy moved slightly higher (by 0.1 percentage point) to 65.5% in 2016, as demand growth slightly exceeded supply growth. Average rate increased 3.1% for the year, and the net change in RevPAR was 3.2%, reflecting a healthy lodging market overall. As previously noted, STR is an independent research firm that compiles and publishes data on the lodging industry, routinely used by typical hotel buyers. HVS has ordered and analyzed an STR Trend Report of historical supply and demand data for a group of hotels considered applicable to this analysis for the proposed subject hotel. This information is presented in the following table, along with the market-wide occupancy, average rate, and rooms revenue per available room (RevPAR). RevPAR is calculated by multiplying occupancy by average rate and provides an indication of how well rooms revenue is being maximized.

It is important to note some limitations of the STR data. Hotels are occasionally added to or removed from the sample; furthermore, not every property reports data in a consistent and timely manner. These factors can influence the overall quality of the information by skewing the results, and these inconsistencies may also cause the STR data to differ from the results of our competitive survey. Nonetheless, STR data provide the best indication of aggregate growth or decline in existing supply and demand; thus, these trends have been considered in our analysis. Opening dates, as available, are presented for each reporting hotel in the previous table.

The STR data for the competitive set reflect a market-wide occupancy level of 2015 in 58.5%, which compares to 57.2% for 2014. The overall average occupancy level for the calendar years presented equates to 57.3%. The STR data for the competitive set reflect a market-wide average rate level of $118.97 in 2015, which compares to $112.83 For 2014. The average across all calendar years presented for average rate equates to $108.63. These occupancy and average rate trends resulted in a RevPAR level of $69.65 in 2015. Both occupancy and average rate first peaked for this selected set of competitive hotels in 2008, resulting in a RevPAR of nearly $58, before declining to a low point of roughly $54 by year-end 2009 because of the recession. A rapid recovery began in 2010 that extended through 2012, at which time the prior RevPAR peak was exceeded. RevPAR continued to rise from 2013 through 2015, with growth driven largely by average rate. The entrance of new supply in 2009 and 2010 contributed to decreases in occupancy from 2009 through 2011; however, given the new upper-midscale property types, hoteliers were able to increase average rates market-wide. However, we note that the Hilton Garden Inn, which opened in 2011, was largely absorbed within the first year of operation. Primary factors contributing to these trends included increased commercial demand from expansions at Whirlpool and the Cook Nuclear Power Plant shutdowns every eighteen months, bringing approximately 1,000 out-of-town workers several weeks. Year-to-date 2016 data illustrate relatively flat occupancy growth and a roughly $4.39 gain in average rate. RevPAR reached its high point in the summer of 2016, which was largely influenced by the biannual PGA tournament, which bolstered average rates. This event is anticipated to be held every other year through year 2024. The near-term outlook is generally positive given the strong demand generators in the area, despite the recent opening of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott and the planned Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott and Staybridge Suites. Monthly occupancy and average rate trends are presented in the following tables. Seasonality

The illustrated monthly occupancy and average rates patterns reflect important seasonal characteristics. We have reviewed these trends in developing our forthcoming forecast of market-wide demand and average rate. The competitive market is characterized by a moderate degree of seasonality, which is evident in the monthly occupancy statistics. The strongest occupancy levels are recorded in the summer months, when demand from leisure travelers supplements the commercial segment that is the principal source of demand in this submarket. Average rate levels reflect a similar pattern. Conversely, occupancy and average rate drop by nearly half in the winter as compared to the peak demand months. A review of the trends in occupancy and average rate by day of the week provides some insight into the impact that the current economic conditions have had on the competitive lodging market. The data, as provided by STR, are illustrated in the following table(s).

March-2017 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 49

Based on an evaluation of the occupancy, rate structure, market orientation, chain affiliation, location, facilities, amenities, reputation, and quality of each area hotel, as well as the comments of management representatives, we have identified several properties that are expected to be primarily competitive with the proposed subject hotel. If applicable, additional lodging facilities may be judged only secondarily competitive; although the facilities, rate structures, or market orientations of these hotels prevent their inclusion among the primary competitive supply, they are expected to compete with the proposed subject hotel to some extent. The following table summarizes the important operating characteristics of the future primary competitors and the aggregate secondary competitors (if applicable). This information was compiled from personal interviews, inspections, online resources, and our in-house database of operating and hotel facility data.

March-2017 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 58

We have identified ten hotels that are expected to compete with the proposed subject hotel on a secondary level. The Silver Beach Hotel and Silver Shores Hotel are anticipated to be competitive based on similar leisure demand and proximity to Lake Michigan attractions; however, these hotels are located in Saint Joseph and are independent of a franchise affiliation. The Hilton Garden Inn is competitive based on similar corporate transient demand; however, this hotel is located in Benton Harbor and offers a select-service product. Similarly, the Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Suites Benton Harbor, Best Western, and SpringHill Suites by Marriott are competitive based on similar corporate transient demand and similar limited-service product types; however, these hotels are located in Benton Harbor, which is approximately 13 miles northwest of the subject site. The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, Comfort Inn, and Holiday Inn Express New Buffalo offer limited-service product types and locations proximate to Lake Michigan; however, these hotels are located in New Buffalo, approximately 13 miles to the southwest of the subject site. It is important to consider any new hotels that may have an impact on the proposed subject hotel’s operating performance. The following chart sets forth the hotels that have recently opened, are under construction, or are in the stages of early development in the Berrien County area. We have identified the following new supply that is expected to have some degree of competitive interaction with the proposed subject hotel, based on location, anticipated market orientation and price point, and/or operating profile.

Given the eight-mile distance, the proposed Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott has been weighted secondarily competitive in our analysis. Furthermore, we note that a Staybridge Suites is proposed for a location approximately twelve miles from the subject site; however, this hotel is anticipated to target a different customer base given its extended-stay product type. Therefore, this hotel has also been weighted secondarily competitive in our analysis.

While we have taken reasonable steps to investigate proposed hotel projects and their status, due to the nature of real estate development, it is impossible to determine with certainty every hotel that will be opened in the future, or what their marketing strategies and effect in the market will be. Depending on the outcome of current and future projects, the future operating potential of the proposed subject hotel may be affected. Future improvement in market conditions will raise the risk of increased competition. Our forthcoming forecast of stabilized occupancy and average rate is intended to reflect such risk. We have identified various properties that are expected to be competitive to some degree with the proposed subject hotel. We have also investigated potential increases in competitive supply in this Bridgman submarket. The Proposed Hotel Bridgman MI should enter a dynamic market of varying product types and price points. Next, we will present our forecast for demand change, using the historical supply data presented as a starting point. The following table presents the most recent trends for the subject hotel market as tracked by HVS. These data pertain to the competitors discussed previously in this section; performance results are estimated, rounded for the competition, and in some cases weighted if there are secondary competitors present. In this respect, the information in the table differs from the previously presented STR data and is consistent with the supply and demand analysis developed for this report.

Percentage of Total

The market’s demand mix comprises commercial demand, with this segment representing roughly 54% of the accommodated room nights in this Bridgman submarket. The remaining portion comprises leisure at 36%, with the final portion group in nature, reflecting 10%. Using the distribution of accommodated hotel demand as a starting point, we will analyze the characteristics of each market segment in an effort to determine future trends in room-night demand. Commercial demand consists mainly of individual businesspeople passing through the subject market or visiting area businesses, in addition to high-volume corporate accounts generated by local firms. Brand loyalty (particularly frequent-traveler programs), as well as location and convenience with respect to businesses and amenities, influence lodging choices in this segment. Companies typically designate hotels as “preferred” accommodations in return for more favorable rates, which are discounted in proportion to the number of room nights produced by a commercial client. Commercial demand is strongest Monday through Thursday nights, declines significantly on Friday and Saturday, and increases somewhat on Sunday night. It is relatively constant throughout the year, with marginal declines in late December and during other holiday periods. Primary commercial demand generators for this market include major corporate offices in the area, such as Whirlpool Corporation, Eagle Technologies, and DC Cook Plant. Leisure demand consists of individuals and families spending time in an area or passing through en route to other destinations. Travel purposes include sightseeing, recreation, or visiting friends and relatives. Leisure demand also includes room nights booked through Internet sites such as Expedia, Hotels.com, and Priceline; however, leisure may not be the purpose of the stay. This demand may also include business travelers and group and convention attendees who use these channels to take advantage of any discounts that may be available on these sites. Leisure demand is strongest Friday and Saturday nights, and all week during

holiday periods and the summer months. These peak periods represent the inverse of commercial visitation trends, underscoring the stabilizing effect of capturing weekend and summer tourist travel. Future leisure demand is related to the overall economic health of the region and the nation. Trends showing changes in state and regional unemployment and disposable personal income correlate strongly with leisure travel levels. Leisure demand for this highway-adjacent market is primarily generated by motorists on Interstate 94 seeking a convenient stopover en route to other destinations, as well as by those visiting friends and family in the area. Additionally, leisure demand is also generated from several state parks, such as Weko Beach and Warren Dunes, which have beaches along Lake Michigan. Furthermore, overflow demand on peak days from Notre Dame University also contributes to the leisure demand in this market. In the limited-service sector, group demand is most commonly generated by groups that require ten or more room nights, but need little to no meeting space within the hotel. Examples of these groups include family reunions, sports teams, and bus tours. In some markets, limited-service hotels may also accommodate demand from groups or individuals attending events at the local convention center or at one of the larger convention hotels in the area. Training groups from nearby companies, such as Eagle Technologies, Lakeland Health, BLS, and Whirlpool Corporation, generate meeting demand for local hotels; furthermore, social groups represent primary sources of demand during weekend and holiday periods. The purpose of segmenting the lodging market is to define each major type of demand, identify customer characteristics, and estimate future growth trends. Starting with an analysis of the local area, three segments were defined as representing the subject property’s lodging market. Various types of economic and demographic data were then evaluated to determine their propensity to reflect changes in hotel demand. Based on this procedure, we forecast the following average annual compounded market-segment growth rates.

Figure 4-19, which was presented earlier in this section illustrated the accommodated-room-night demand in the subject property’s competitive market. Because this estimate is based on historical occupancy levels, it includes only those hotel rooms that were used by guests. Latent demand reflects potential room-night demand that has not been realized by the existing competitive supply, further classified as either unaccommodated demand or induced demand. Unaccommodated demand refers to individuals who are unable to secure accommodations in the market because all the local hotels are filled. These travelers must defer their trips, settle for less desirable accommodations, or stay in properties located outside the market area. Because this demand did not yield occupied room nights, it is not included in the estimate of historical accommodated-room-night demand. If additional lodging facilities are expected to enter the market, it is reasonable to assume that these guests will be able to secure hotel rooms in the future, and it is therefore necessary to quantify this demand. Unaccommodated demand is further indicated if the market is at all seasonal, with distinct high and low seasons; such seasonality indicates that although year-end occupancy may not average in excess of 70%, the market may sell out certain nights during the year. To evaluate the incidence of unaccommodated demand in the market, we have reviewed the average occupancy by the night of the week for the past twelve months for the competitive set, as reflected in the STR data. This is set forth in the following table.

Accommodated Room Night Demand

Accordingly, we have forecast unaccommodated demand equivalent to 2.2% of the base-year demand, resulting from our analysis of monthly and weekly peak demand and sell-out trends. Induced demand represents the additional room nights that are expected to be attracted to the market following the introduction of a new demand generator. Situations that can result in induced demand include the opening of a new manufacturing plant, the expansion of a convention center, or the addition of a new hotel with a distinct chain affiliation or unique facilities. Although increases in demand are expected in the local market, we have accounted for this growth in the determination of market-segment growth rates rather than induced demand. Based upon a review of the market dynamics in the subject property’s competitive environment, we have forecast growth rates for each market segment. Using the calculated potential demand for the market, we have determined market-wide accommodated demand based on the inherent limitations of demand fluctuations and other factors in the market area. The following table details our projection of lodging demand growth for the subject market, including the total number of occupied room nights and any residual unaccommodated demand in the market.

TYPICAL LIMITED-SERVICE HOTEL GUESTROOM LIVING AREA

The hotel is expected to be served by the necessary back-of-the-house space, including an in-house laundry facility, administrative offices, and a prep kitchen to service the needs of the breakfast dining area. These spaces should be adequate for a hotel of this type and should allow for the efficient operation of the property under competent management. We assume that the property will be built according to all pertinent codes and brand standards. Moreover, we assume its construction will not create any environmental hazards (such as mold) and that the property will fully comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our analysis assumes that, after its opening, the hotel will require ongoing upgrades and periodic renovations in order to maintain its competitive level in this market and to remain compliant with brand standards. These costs should be adequately funded by the forecasted reserve for replacement, as long as a successful, ongoing preventive-maintenance program is employed by hotel staff.

March-2017 Description of the Proposed Improvements Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 71

Overall, the proposed subject hotel should offer a well-designed, functional layout of support areas and guestrooms. All typical and market-appropriate features and amenities should be included in the hotel's design. We assume that the building will be fully open and operational on the stipulated opening date and will meet all local building codes and brand standards. Furthermore, we assume that the hotel staff will be adequately trained to allow for a successful opening and that pre-marketing efforts will have introduced the product to major local accounts at least six months in advance of the opening date.

March-2017 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 72

6. Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate

Along with average rate results, the occupancy levels achieved by a hotel are the foundation of the property's financial performance and market value. Most of a lodging facility's other revenue sources (such as food, beverages, other operated departments, and rentals and other income) are driven by the number of guests, and many expense levels vary with occupancy. To a certain degree, occupancy attainment can be manipulated by management. For example, hotel operators may choose to lower rates in an effort to maximize occupancy. Our forecasts reflect an operating strategy that we believe would be implemented by a typical, professional hotel management team to achieve an optimal mix of occupancy and average rate. The subject property's forecasted market share and occupancy levels are based upon its anticipated competitive position within the market, as quantified by its penetration rate. The penetration rate is the ratio of a property's market share to its fair share. In the following table, the penetration rates attained by the primary competitors and the aggregate secondary competitors are set forth for each segment for the base year.

Because the supply and demand balance for the competitive market is dynamic, there is a circular relationship between the penetration factors of each hotel in the market. The performance of individual new hotels has a direct effect upon the aggregate performance of the market, and consequently upon the calculated penetration factor for each hotel in each market segment. The same is true when the performance of existing hotels changes, either positively (following a refurbishment, for example) or negatively (when a poorly maintained or marketed hotel loses market share). A hotel’s penetration factor is calculated as its achieved market share of demand divided by its fair share of demand. Thus, if one hotel’s penetration performance increases, thereby increasing its achieved market share, this leaves less demand available in the market for the other hotels to capture and the penetration performance of one or more of those other hotels consequently declines (other things remaining equal). This type of market share adjustment takes place every time there is a change in supply, or a change in the relative penetration performance of one or more hotels in the competitive market. Our projections of penetration, demand capture, and occupancy performance for the subject property account for these types of adjustments to market share within the defined competitive market. The proposed subject hotel's occupancy forecast is set forth as follows, with the adjusted projected penetration rates used as a basis for calculating the amount of captured market demand.

Within the commercial segment, the proposed subject hotel’s occupancy penetration is positioned appropriately within the range of existing competitors given the proposed hotel's new guestroom product and location in Bridgman. The proposed subject hotel's occupancy penetration in the leisure segment is positioned above the market-average level given the proposed hotel's proximity to the beach and the interstate. Within the group segment, the proposed subject hotel's occupancy penetration is positioned below the range of existing competitors, largely attributed to the brand's lack of required meeting space and the lack of large corporations proximate to the subject site.

Based on our analysis of the proposed subject hotel and market area, we have selected a stabilized occupancy level of 62%. The stabilized occupancy is intended to reflect the anticipated results of the property over its remaining economic life, given all changes in the life cycle of the hotel. Thus, the stabilized occupancy excludes from consideration any abnormal relationship between supply and demand, as well as any nonrecurring conditions that may result in unusually high or low occupancies. Although the subject property may operate at occupancies above this stabilized level, we believe it equally possible for new competition and temporary economic downturns to force the occupancy below this selected point of stability. One of the most important considerations in estimating the value of a lodging facility is a supportable forecast of its attainable average rate, which is more formally defined as the average rate per occupied room. Average rate can be calculated by dividing the total rooms revenue achieved during a specified period by the number of rooms sold during the same period. The projected average rate and the anticipated occupancy percentage are used to forecast rooms revenue, which in turn provides the basis for estimating most other income and expense categories. Although the average rate analysis presented here follows the occupancy projection, these two statistics are highly correlated; in reality, one cannot project occupancy without making specific assumptions regarding average rate. This relationship is best illustrated by revenue per available room (RevPAR), which reflects a property's ability to maximize rooms revenue. The following table summarizes the historical average rate and the RevPAR of the subject property’s future primary competitors.

The defined primarily competitive market realized an overall average rate of $123.42 in the 2016 base year, improving from the 2015 level of $116.74. We have selected the rate position of $115.00, in base-year dollars, for the proposed subject. Based on these considerations, the following table illustrates the projected average rate and the growth rates assumed. As a context for the average rate growth factors, note that we have applied underlying inflation rates of 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0% thereafter for each respective year following the base year of 2016.

As illustrated above, a 2.0%% rate of change is expected for the proposed subject hotel's positioned 2016 room rate in 2017. This is followed by growth rates of 2.5%% and 3.0%% in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Saint Joseph/Benton Harbor market should experience rate growth through the near term. The proposed subject hotel's rate position should reflect growth similar to market trends because of the proposed hotel's new facility, strong brand affiliation, and location adjacent to the interstate and near the beach. The proposed subject hotel’s penetration rate is forecast to reach 92.2% by the stabilized period. The following table provides a comparison of the historical performance and forecasts for the competitive set, as well as the forecasts for the proposed subject property.

7. Projection of Income and Expense

In this chapter of our report, we have compiled a forecast of income and expense for the proposed subject hotel. This forecast is based on the facilities program set forth previously, as well as the occupancy and average rate forecast discussed previously. The forecast of income and expense is expressed in current dollars for each year. The stabilized year is intended to reflect the anticipated operating results of the property over its remaining economic life, given any or all applicable stages of build-up, plateau, and decline in the life cycle of the hotel. Thus, income and expense estimates from the stabilized year forward exclude from consideration any abnormal relationship between supply and demand, as well as any nonrecurring conditions that may result in unusual revenues or expenses. The ten-year period reflects the typical holding period of large real estate assets such as hotels. In addition, the ten-year period provides for the stabilization of income streams and comparison of yields with alternate types of real estate. The forecasted income streams reflect the future benefits of owning specific rights in income-producing real estate. In order to project future income and expense for the proposed subject hotel, we have included a sample of individual comparable operating statements from our database of hotel statistics. All financial data are presented according to the three most common measures of industry performance: ratio to sales (RTS), amounts per available room (PAR), and amounts per occupied room night (POR). These historical income and expense statements will be used as benchmarks in our forthcoming forecast of income and expense.

The comparables’ departmental income ranged from 72.6% to 77.6% of total revenue. The comparable properties achieved a house profit ranging from 41.7% to 45.6% of total revenue. We will refer to the comparable operating data in our discussion of each line item, which follows later in this section of the report. HVS uses a fixed and variable component model to project a lodging facility's revenue and expense levels. This model is based on the premise that hotel revenues and expenses have one component that is fixed and another that varies directly with occupancy and facility usage.

known level of revenue or expense and calculating its fixed and variable components. The fixed component is then increased in tandem with the underlying rate of inflation, while the variable component is adjusted for a specific measure of volume such as total revenue. The actual forecast is derived by adjusting each year’s revenue and expense by the amount fixed (the fixed expense multiplied by the inflated base-year amount) plus the variable amount (the variable expense multiplied by the inflated base-year amount) multiplied by the ratio of the projection year’s occupancy to the base-year occupancy (in the case of departmental revenue and expense) or the ratio of the projection year’s revenue to the base year’s revenue (in the case of undistributed operating expenses). Fixed expenses remain fixed, increasing only with inflation. Our discussion of the revenue and expense forecast in this report is based upon the output derived from the fixed and variable model. This forecast of revenue and expense is accomplished through a systematic approach, following the format of the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry. Each category of revenue and expense is estimated separately and combined at the end in the final statement of income and expense. A general rate of inflation must be established that will be applied to most revenue and expense categories. The following table shows inflation estimates made by economists at some noted institutions and corporations.

March-2017 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 86

As the preceding table indicates, the financial analysts who were surveyed in December 2016 anticipated inflation rates ranging from 1.6% to 3.1% (on an annualized basis) for June 2017; the average of these data points was 2.3%. The same group expects annualized inflation rates of 2.4% for both December 2017 and June 2018, slightly lower than the 2.5% average inflation rate forecast for December 2018. As a further check on these inflation projections, we have reviewed historical increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). Because the value of real estate is predicated on cash flows over a relatively long period, inflation should be considered from a long-term perspective.

Between 2006 and 2016, the national CPI increased at an average annual compounded rate of 1.8%; from 2011 to 2016, the CPI rose by a slightly lower average annual compounded rate of 1.4%. In 2016, the CPI rose by 2.1%, an increase from the level of 0.7% recorded in 2015. In consideration of the most recent trends, the projections set forth previously, and our assessment of probable property appreciation levels, we have applied underlying inflation rates of 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0% thereafter for each respective year following the base year of 2016. This stabilized inflation rate takes into account normal, recurring inflation cycles. Inflation is likely to fluctuate above and

below this level during the projection period. Any exceptions to the application of the assumed underlying inflation rate are discussed in our write-up of individual income and expense items. Based on an analysis that will be detailed throughout this section, we have formulated a forecast of income and expense. The following table presents a detailed forecast through the fifth projection year, including amounts per available room and per occupied room. The second table illustrates our ten-year forecast of income and expense, presented with a lesser degree of detail. The forecasts pertain to years that begin on January 1, 2019, expressed in inflated dollars for each year.

March-2017 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 90

The following description sets forth the basis for the forecast of income and expense. We anticipate that it will take three years for the subject property to reach a stabilized level of operation. Each revenue and expense item has been forecast based upon our review of the proposed subject hotel’s operating budget and comparable income and expense statements. The forecast is based upon calendar years beginning January 1, 2019, expressed in inflated dollars for each year. Revenues associated with the proposed subject hotel's other operated departments and miscellaneous income category have been forecast to reflect the hotel's planned facilities and amenities. Expense levels fall within a range of reasonableness given the provided comparable operating statements; furthermore, franchise and management fees are set forth in accordance with our assumptions provided in the Nature of the Assignment chapter. Rooms revenue is determined by two variables: occupancy and average rate. We projected occupancy and average rate in a previous section of this report. The proposed subject hotel is expected to stabilize at an occupancy level of 62% with an average rate of $131.38 in 2021. Following the stabilized year, the subject property’s average rate is projected to increase along with the underlying rate of inflation. Food and beverage revenue is generated by a hotel's restaurants, lounges, coffee shops, snack bars, banquet rooms, and room service. In addition to providing a source of revenue, these outlets serve as an amenity that assists in the sale of guestrooms. With the exception of properties with active lounges or banquet facilities that draw local residents, in-house guests generally represent a substantial percentage of a hotel's food and beverage patrons. In the case of the Proposed Hotel Bridgman MI, food and beverage department will include a breakfast dining area. According to the Uniform System of Accounts, other operated departments include any major or minor operated department other than rooms and food and beverage.

The miscellaneous income sources comprise those other than guestrooms, food and beverage, and the other operated departments. Changes in this revenue item through the projection period result from the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy.

Rooms expense consists of items related to the sale and upkeep of guestrooms and public space. Salaries, wages, and employee benefits account for a substantial portion of this category. Although payroll varies somewhat with occupancy and managers can generally scale the level of service staff on hand to meet an expected occupancy level, much of a hotel's payroll is fixed. A base level of front desk personnel, housekeepers, and supervisors must be maintained at all times. As a result, salaries, wages, and employee benefits are only moderately sensitive to changes in occupancy. Commissions and reservations are usually based on room sales, and thus are highly sensitive to changes in occupancy and average rate. While guest supplies vary 100% with occupancy, linens and other operating expenses are only slightly affected by volume.

Administrative and general expense includes the salaries and wages of all administrative personnel who are not directly associated with a particular department. Expense items related to the management and operation of the property are also allocated to this category. Most administrative and general expenses are relatively fixed. The exceptions are cash overages and shortages; commissions on credit card charges; provision for doubtful accounts, which are moderately affected by the number of transactions or total revenue; and salaries, wages, and benefits, which are very slightly influenced by volume.

Information and telecommunications systems expense consists of all costs associated with a hotel’s technology infrastructure. This includes the costs of cell phones, administrative call and Internet services, and complimentary call and Internet services. Expenses in this category are typically organized by type of technology, or the area benefitting from the technology solution. Marketing expense consists of all costs associated with advertising, sales, and promotion; these activities are intended to attract and retain customers. Marketing can be used to create an image, develop customer awareness, and stimulate patronage of a property's various facilities. The marketing category is unique in that all expense items, with the exception of fees and commissions, are totally controlled by management. Most hotel operators establish an annual marketing budget that sets forth all planned expenditures. If the budget is followed, total marketing expenses can be projected accurately. Marketing expenditures are unusual because although there is a lag period before results are realized, the benefits are often extended over a long period. Depending on the type and scope of the advertising and promotion program implemented, the lag time can be as short as a few weeks or as long as several years. However, the favorable results of an effective marketing campaign tend to linger, and a property often enjoys the benefits of concentrated sales efforts for many months.

As previously discussed, the proposed subject property is expected to be franchised under the Comfort Inn & Suites brand. Costs associated with this franchise are summarized in the introductory chapter in this report. Property operations and maintenance expense is another expense category that is largely controlled by management. Except for repairs that are necessary to keep the facility open and prevent damage (e.g., plumbing, heating, and electrical items), most maintenance can be deferred for varying lengths of time. Maintenance is an accumulating expense. If management elects to postpone performing a required repair, they have not eliminated or saved the expenditure;

they have only deferred payment until a later date. A lodging facility that operates with a lower-than-normal maintenance budget is likely to accumulate a considerable amount of deferred maintenance. The age of a lodging facility has a strong influence on the required level of maintenance. A new or thoroughly renovated property is protected for several years by modern equipment and manufacturers' warranties. However, as a hostelry grows older, maintenance expenses escalate. A well-organized preventive maintenance system often helps delay deterioration, but most facilities face higher property operations and maintenance costs each year, regardless of the occupancy trend. The quality of initial construction can also have a direct impact on future maintenance requirements. The use of high-quality building materials and construction methods generally reduces the need for maintenance expenditures over the long term. Changes in this expense item through the projection period result from the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy.

The utilities consumption of a lodging facility takes several forms, including water and space heating, air conditioning, lighting, cooking fuel, and other miscellaneous power requirements. The most common sources of hotel utilities are electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and steam. This category also includes the cost of water service. Total energy cost depends on the source and quantity of fuel used. Electricity tends to be the most expensive source, followed by oil and gas. Although all hotels consume a sizable amount of electricity, many properties supplement their utility requirements with less expensive sources, such as gas and oil, for heating and cooking. The changes in this utilities line item through the projection period are a result of the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy.

Management expense consists of the fees paid to the managing agent contracted to operate the property. Some companies provide management services and a brand-name affiliation (first-tier management company), while others provide management services alone (second-tier management company). Some management contracts specify only a base fee (usually a percentage of total revenue), while others call for both a base fee and an incentive fee (usually a percentage of defined profit). Basic hotel management fees are often based on a percentage of total revenue, which means they have no fixed component. While base fees typically range from 2% to 4% of total revenue, incentive fees are deal specific and often are calculated as a percentage of income available after debt service and, in some cases, after a preferred return on equity. Total management fees for the proposed subject hotel have been forecast at 3.0% of total revenue. Property (or ad valorem) tax is one of the primary revenue sources of municipalities. Based on the concept that the tax burden should be distributed in proportion to the value of all properties within a taxing jurisdiction, a system of assessments is established. Theoretically, the assessed value placed on each parcel bears a definite relationship to market value, so properties with equal market values will have similar assessments and properties with higher and lower values will have proportionately larger and smaller assessments.

Depending on the taxing policy of the municipality, property taxes can be based on the value of the real property or the value of the personal property and the real property. We have based our estimate of the proposed subject property's market value (for tax purposes) on an analysis of assessments of comparable hotel properties in the local municipality.

We have positioned the future assessment levels of the subject site and proposed improvements, as well as the planned personal property, based upon the illustrated comparable data. We have positioned these assessments closest to the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Saint Joseph because of the similarities, including product type; overall, the positioned assessments are well supported by the market data. Tax rates are based on the city and county budgets, which change annually. The most recent tax rate in this jurisdiction was reported at 29.272. The following table shows changes in the tax rate during the last several years.

The insurance expense category consists of the cost of insuring the hotel and its contents against damage or destruction by fire, weather, sprinkler leakage, boiler explosion, plate glass breakage, and so forth. General insurance costs also include premiums relating to liability, fidelity, and theft coverage. Insurance rates are based on many factors, including building design and construction, fire detection and extinguishing equipment, fire district, distance from the firehouse, and the area's fire experience. Insurance expenses do not vary with occupancy.

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are essential to the operation of a lodging facility, and their quality often influences a property's class. This category includes all non-real estate items that are capitalized, rather than expensed. The furniture, fixtures, and equipment of a hotel are exposed to heavy use and must be replaced at regular intervals. The useful life of these items is determined by their quality, durability, and the amount of guest traffic and use. Periodic replacement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is essential to maintain the quality, image, and income-producing potential of a lodging facility. Because capitalized expenditures are not included in the operating statement but affect an owner's cash flow, a forecast of income and expense should reflect these expenses in the form of an appropriate reserve for replacement. The International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) oversees a major industry-sponsored study of the capital expenditure requirements for full-service/luxury, select-service, and extended-stay hotels. The most recent study was published in 2014.6 Historical capital expenditures of well-maintained hotels were investigated through the compilation of data provided by most of the major hotel companies in the United States. A prospective analysis of future capital expenditure requirements was also performed based upon the cost to replace short- and long-lived building components over a hotel's economic life. The study showed that the capital expenditure requirements for hotels vary significantly from year to year and depend upon both the actual and effective ages of a property. The results of this study showed that hotel lenders and investors are requiring reserves for replacement ranging from 4% to 5% of total revenue.

March-2017 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 100

Based on the results of our analysis and on our review of the proposed subject asset and comparable lodging facilities, as well as on our industry expertise, we estimate that a reserve for replacement of 4% of total revenues is sufficient to provide for the timely and periodic replacement of the subject property's furniture, fixtures, and equipment. This amount has been ramped up during the initial projection period. Projected total revenue. House profit, and EBITDA less replacement reserves are set forth in the following table.

March-2017 Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 101

8. Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions

1. This report is set forth as a market study of the proposed subject hotel; this is not an appraisal report.

2. This report is to be used in whole and not in part. 3. No responsibility is assumed for matters of a legal nature, nor do we

render any opinion as to title, which is assumed marketable and free of any deed restrictions and easements. The property is evaluated as though free and clear unless otherwise stated.

4. We assume that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the sub-soil or structures, such as underground storage tanks, that would affect the property’s development potential. No responsibility is assumed for these conditions or for any engineering that may be required to discover them.

5. We have not considered the presence of potentially hazardous materials or any form of toxic waste on the project site. We are not qualified to detect hazardous substances and urge the client to retain an expert in this field if desired.

6. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective on January 26, 1992. We have assumed the proposed hotel would be designed and constructed to be in full compliance with the ADA.

7. We have made no survey of the site, and we assume no responsibility in connection with such matters. Sketches, photographs, maps, and other exhibits are included to assist the reader in visualizing the property. It is assumed that the use of the described real estate will be within the boundaries of the property described, and that no encroachment will exist.

8. All information, financial operating statements, estimates, and opinions obtained from parties not employed by TS Worldwide, LLC are assumed true and correct. We can assume no liability resulting from misinformation.

9. Unless noted, we assume that there are no encroachments, zoning violations, or building violations encumbering the subject property.

10. The property is assumed to be in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, local, and private codes, laws, consents, licenses, and regulations (including the appropriate liquor license if applicable), and that all licenses, permits, certificates, franchises, and so forth can be freely renewed or transferred to a purchaser.

March-2017 Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 102

11. All mortgages, liens, encumbrances, leases, and servitudes have been disregarded unless specified otherwise.

12. None of this material may be reproduced in any form without our written permission, and the report cannot be disseminated to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other media.

13. We are not required to give testimony or attendance in court because of this analysis without previous arrangements, and shall do so only when our standard per-diem fees and travel costs have been paid prior to the appearance.

14. If the reader is making a fiduciary or individual investment decision and has any questions concerning the material presented in this report, it is recommended that the reader contact us.

15. We take no responsibility for any events or circumstances that take place subsequent to the date of our field inspection.

16. The quality of a lodging facility's onsite management has a direct effect on a property's economic viability. The financial forecasts presented in this analysis assume responsible ownership and competent management. Any departure from this assumption may have a significant impact on the projected operating results.

17. The financial analysis presented in this report is based upon assumptions, estimates, and evaluations of the market conditions in the local and national economy, which may be subject to sharp rises and declines. Over the projection period considered in our analysis, wages and other operating expenses may increase or decrease because of market volatility and economic forces outside the control of the hotel’s management. We assume that the price of hotel rooms, food, beverages, and other sources of revenue to the hotel will be adjusted to offset any increases or decreases in related costs. We do not warrant that our estimates will be attained, but they have been developed based upon information obtained during the course of our market research and are intended to reflect the expectations of a typical hotel investor as of the stated date of the report.

18. This analysis assumes continuation of all Internal Revenue Service tax code provisions as stated or interpreted on either the date of value or the date of our field inspection, whichever occurs first.

19. Many of the figures presented in this report were generated using sophisticated computer models that make calculations based on numbers carried out to three or more decimal places. In the interest of simplicity, most numbers have been rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. Thus, these figures may be subject to small rounding errors.

March-2017 Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Proposed Hotel – Bridgman, Michigan 103

20. It is agreed that our liability to the client is limited to the amount of the fee paid as liquidated damages. Our responsibility is limited to the client, and use of this report by third parties shall be solely at the risk of the client and/or third parties. The use of this report is also subject to the terms and conditions set forth in our engagement letter with the client.

21. Evaluating and comprising financial forecasts for hotels is both a science and an art. Although this analysis employs various mathematical calculations to provide value indications, the final forecasts are subjective and may be influenced by our experience and other factors not specifically set forth in this report.

22. This study was prepared by TS Worldwide, LLC. All opinions, recommendations, and conclusions expressed during the course of this assignment are rendered by the staff of TS Worldwide, LLC as employees, rather than as individuals.
