Dear Mr. McCarthy:

In fulfillment of our agreement as outlined in the Letter of Engagement, we are pleased to transmit our appraisal presented in a self-contained report on the property referenced above. The date of the report is December 10, 2010. The effective date of value is December 10, 2010.

This report is addressed to Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Wesco Financial Corporation c/o Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meager & Flom, LLP and its affiliates. In conformance with your request, we have completed an appraisal of the above referenced property. The appraisal states our opinion of the property’s Market Value subject to various Assumptions and Limiting Conditions set forth in the accompanying report. The physical inspection and analysis that form the basis of the report have been conducted by James W. Myers, MAI and Steven J. Cho, CCIM.

The accompanying report includes pertinent data secured in our investigation, exhibits and the details of the process used to arrive at our conclusion of value. The appraisal conforms with the Standards of Professional Practice and Code of Professional Ethics of Appraisal Institute, which incorporates the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), of the Appraisal Foundation.

MARKET VALUE AS IS

Based upon the Scope of Work agreed to with the Client, and as outlined within the accompanying report, we have developed an opinion that the Market Value of the Leased Fee estate of the referenced property, subject to

the assumptions and limiting conditions, certifications, extraordinary and hypothetical conditions, if any, and definitions, on December 10, 2010, is:

TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

$25,000,000

These opinions assume a marketing and exposure period of approximately 9 months.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

An extraordinary assumption is defined by the USPAP as “an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

1) The subject property has been managed and leased for many years by personnel employed by entities related to the ownership. A rent roll, leases, and the accounting records for the property were provided for our review. Based on our review of these available materials and conversations with the management, we concluded the rentable areas for the tenants and the building provided on the rent roll and/or in the leases may not represent the actual rentable area using typical measurement standards applied by other landlords and their tenants in this marketplace. The “norm” for calculating rentable areas is set forth in standards identified by “BOMA”, which typically include (generically) the area within the building walls, excluding floor penetrations (such as stairwells and elevators). The rentable area for a particular tenant’s suite will consist of the actual area inside the suite plus an allocation (“load factor”) of the building’s common areas, including lobbies, corridors and restrooms (this is a simplistic characterization and there are exceptions and additional permissible add-ons). Based on our review of available information, the rent roll provided for our review may not represent measurements consistent with the “market”.

We have relied on the areas set forth in the subject rent roll as the basis for the rentable area utilized in this appraisal. Since rentable square feet is the typical “metric” used to compare and to value office properties both on a rental and a sales comparison basis, any significant differences in the area utilized for the subject and the actual rentable area based on BOMA standards will have a corresponding impact on the value conclusion for the property. We recommend the client retain a qualified firm to measure and calculate the rentable areas for the subject prior to finalizing any decisions involving this asset.

2) Based on our inspection of the property it is our understanding that many of the mechanical systems in the building are “original” from the 1964 construction date. The building’s systems may need some significant capital investment for upgrades and/or replacement. Prior to closing a sale or a loan involving the property it is very likely that a prudent buyer would retain a qualified firm to conduct an inspection of the property and identify items of deferred maintenance and code issues such as handicap/ADA requirements. Any identified costs would likely result in an adjustment to the purchase price/value of the property. We have not made any specific capital deductions, since there is no engineering or property survey available nor has any been conducted to our knowledge, but we have deducted an ongoing reserve that is higher than typical. We recommend the client have a property condition survey of the building conducted prior to finalizing any decisions involving the property.

3) We inspected the property November 19, 2010. The date of value is December 10, 2010. We assume no material changes in the property occurred between the date of inspection and December 10, 2010.

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS:

A hypothetical condition is defined by the USPAP as “that which is contrary to what exists but is supposed for the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

This appraisal does not employ any hypothetical conditions.

SCOPE OF WORK IV

SCOPE OF WORK

This appraisal is presented in a self-contained report, intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under the USPAP for a Self-Contained Appraisal Report. In addition, the report was also prepared to conform to the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Appraisal Institute.

In preparation of this appraisal, we investigated numerous improved sales in the subject’s market, analyzed rental data, and considered the input of buyers, sellers, brokers, property developers and public officials. Additionally, we investigated the general regional economy as well as the specifics of the local area of the subject.

Cushman & Wakefield Western, Inc. has an internal Quality Control Oversight Program. This Program mandates a “second read” of all appraisals. Assignments prepared and signed solely by designated members (MAIs) are read by another MAI who is not participating in the assignment. Assignments prepared, in whole or in part, by non-designated appraisers require MAI participation, Quality Control Oversight, and signature.

For this assignment, Quality Control Oversight was provided by James W. Myers, MAI. In addition to a qualitative assessment of the appraisal report, James W. Myers, MAI, is a signatory to the appraisal report and concurs in the value estimate(s) set forth herein.

The scope of this appraisal required collecting primary and secondary data relative to the subject property. The depth of the analysis is intended to be appropriate in relation to the significance of the appraisal issues as presented herein. The data have been analyzed and confirmed with sources believed to be reliable, in the normal course of business, leading to the value conclusions set forth in this report. In the context of completing this report, we have made a physical inspection of the subject property and the improved sales and rental comparables. The valuation process involved utilizing generally accepted market-derived methods and procedures considered appropriate to the assignment.

This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that the Sales and Income Approaches are the most relevant. New construction is not economically feasible in the current environment as market rents in the Pasadena submarket would not support the development of a major office or commercial building. In addition, estimating depreciation for a property of the subject’s age (built in 1964) will not result in a reliable indication. We have accordingly not included a Cost Approach.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY VI

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND RECENT HISTORY

According to the Los Angeles County Assessor’s records, the subject property is currently vested in “MS Property Company”, which is an entity related to the original developer.

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no transfers of this property for the past three years.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS AND HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

An extraordinary assumption is defined by the USPAP as “an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

1) The subject property has been managed and leased for many years by personnel employed by entities related to the ownership. A rent roll, leases, and the accounting records for the property were provided for our review. Based on our review of these available materials and conversations with the management, we concluded the rentable areas for the tenants and the building provided on the rent roll and/or in the leases may not represent the actual rentable area using typical measurement standards applied by other landlords and their tenants in this marketplace. The “norm” for calculating rentable areas is set forth in standards identified by “BOMA”, which typically include (generically) the area within the building walls, excluding floor penetrations (such as stairwells and elevators). The rentable area for a particular tenant’s suite will consist of the actual area inside the suite plus an allocation (“load factor”) of the building’s common areas, including lobbies, corridors and restrooms (this is a simplistic characterization and there are exceptions and additional permissible add-ons). Based on our review of available information, the rent roll provided for our review may not represent measurements consistent with the “market”.

We have relied on the areas set forth in the subject rent roll as the basis for the rentable area utilized in this appraisal. Since rentable square feet is the typical “metric” used to compare and to value office properties both on a rental and a sales comparison basis, any significant differences in the area utilized for the subject and the actual rentable area based on BOMA standards will have a corresponding impact on the value conclusion for the property. We recommend the client retain a qualified firm to measure and calculate the rentable areas for the subject prior to finalizing any decisions involving this asset.

2) Based on our inspection of the property it is our understanding that many of the mechanical systems in the building are “original” from the 1964 construction date. The building’s systems may need some significant capital investment for upgrades and/or replacement. Prior to closing a sale or a loan involving the property it is very likely that a prudent buyer would retain a qualified firm to conduct an inspection of the property and identify items of deferred maintenance and code issues such as handicap/ADA requirements. Any identified costs would likely result in an adjustment to the purchase price/value of the property. We have not made any specific capital deductions, since there is no engineering or property survey available nor has any been conducted to our knowledge, but we have deducted an ongoing reserve that is higher than typical. We recommend the client have a property condition survey of the building conducted prior to finalizing any decisions involving the property.

3) We inspected the property November 19, 2010. The date of value is December 10, 2010. We assume no material changes in the property occurred between the date of inspection and December 10, 2010.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY REGIONAL ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

Market Definition

Los Angeles County ranks 18th on the list of the world’s largest economies and is the largest county in the nation in terms of population, totaling an estimated 9.9 million residents, or about 27.0 percent of the state of California’s population. The majority of Los Angeles County is heavily urbanized averaging roughly 2,450 residents per square mile. Geographically, the county encompasses 4,061 square miles with 70 miles of coast on the Pacific Ocean. Neighboring regions include Orange County to the south, San Bernardino County to the east, Ventura County to the west and Kern County to the north.

The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana Metropolitan Statistical Area (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA) in Southern California is the largest of the three MSAs that comprise the Los Angeles Combined Statistical Area (Los Angeles CSA), which also includes the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario and Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura Metropolitan Statistical Areas. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA is further divided into two metropolitan divisions—Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale and Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale Metropolitan Division (Los Angeles MD), which is the focus of the following demographic and economic overview, is synonymous with Los Angeles County. The City of Los Angeles is the largest incorporated area in the county.

Some key points to consider are:

• International trade and commerce are major drivers of the area’s economy because of its strategic location and the size and scope of its economy. The Los Angeles Customs District – which includes the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, Port Hueneme, and Los Angeles International Airport – is the nation’s largest.

• The Los Angeles region has an extensive transportation network. Adding to the infrastructural strength of the ports and LAX airport, there are two other active commercial airports – Bob Hope in Burbank and Long Beach. Due to the size of its geographic footprint, Los Angeles freeway system is one of the most advanced in the country. In addition, there are mass transit options to service the public need and rail freight services linking the region to the rest of the state and the nation.

The map on the following page depicts Los Angeles County in relation to the adjacent Orange County and Inland Empire regions:

Current Trends

The Los Angeles region is slowly emerging from its recession, strengthened by rising international trade and port activity as well as job growth in the entertainment industry and advertising. The weakening dollar will also have a positive impact on leisure and hospitality by attracting international visitors to Los Angeles. Despite a fairly positive forecast for the region, the local economy remains weighed down by weakness in construction and government sectors. Health services and education are also expected to contribute to economic problems in the second half 2010, although traditionally a strong sector of the Los Angeles County economy.

Further points of consideration are:

• The entertainment industry experienced a period of strong growth during the first half of 2010, according to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation’s (LAECD) Mid-Year Update and Economic Report. Industry employment increased as more films, pilots and commercials were filmed in the region.

• The Port of Los Angeles moved more container units in June 2010 than any other June in its history with more than 730,000 container units handled. This accounted for an approximately 32.0 percent increase from June 2009, and represented a 15 percent increase for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

• The Los Angeles regions saw an increase in tourism in the first half of 2010 after a significant slide in 2009 as new hotels and attractions are luring business and pleasure travelers to the area. The LAECD expects that this trend will continue in the second half of 2010 and into 2011.

DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS

Demographics Characteristics

Los Angeles’ median age is relatively young at 34.9 years: considerably lower than the median age of the U.S. at 36.8 years. The percentage of the population in Los Angeles with bachelor and advanced degrees is 24.4 percent, which is slightly below the U.S. share of 24.7 percent. Despite similarities in their respective education breakdowns, however, the Los Angeles region exceeds the national levels for average and median household income. Additionally, 23.4 percent of regional households have annual incomes of $100,000 or more compared to the national level of 19.3 percent.

Some interesting points to consider regarding the similarities and differences in demographic trends between Los Angeles and the U.S. include:

• There is a demand in the Los Angeles region for a large population of workers with highly developed skill sets in sectors like finance, education, and information technology that require postsecondary degrees. Firms in those sectors are forced to pay employees more for the same type of work in this region than in other regions of the country due to the higher cost of living in the Los Angeles region.

• The variance in the national and regional levels of education suggests that there is still a demand for large population of workers with highly developed skill sets in sectors like transportation, manufacturing and construction in Los Angeles County that do not require a postsecondary degree.

Population

Population growth for the greater Los Angeles region historically outpaced that of the national average as the favorable climate and a diverse economy make Southern California a prime location for individuals, families, and businesses. During the most recent period of economic expansion from 2002 to mid-2007, however, skyrocketing home values and the high cost of living deterred, to some degree, existing and prospective low- to middle-income residents from the region, thus weakening population growth.

Notable points include:

• The Los Angeles region’s annual population growth averaged only 0.4 percent between 2005 and 2009, compared to the 1.0 percent average rate of growth for the nation.

• Los Angeles County’s population is expected to grow, on average, at 1.0 percent annually, matching the nation’s projected average growth rate between 2010 and 2014 as the region’s economy begins to grow and recover from the residual effects of the recession.

In the following exhibit and all subsequent time-series graphs, the shaded bars indicate the periods of a U.S. economic recession. The chart on the following page compares the annual population growth of Los Angeles County and the United States:

Of the four metro areas comprising the Los Angeles Combined Statistical Area, Los Angeles experienced the slowest rate of population growth during the 10 years ending 2009. However, population growth in Los Angeles is projected to increase steadily through the next five years, but its growth rate is forecast to still lag behind that of the other metro areas, notably the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura MSA, which is forecast grow the fastest at a 1.4 percent average annual rate. Some key factors that continue to suppress population growth in the Los Angeles region include the high cost of living associated with the most recent housing bubble, the economic recession and the resulting high unemployment rate.

Households

Household formation trends in the Los Angeles region closely follow population growth trends. As mentioned earlier, the high quality of life helps maintain above average growth. While household formation trends appear to mirror overall population gains, household growth is expected to rise above population growth levels over the next five year period, as the number of people occupying a single housing unit is expected to increase more rapidly than the overall population. This trend of household formation can be traced to such sociological factors as longer life expectancies, increasing divorce rates, young professionals postponing marriage as well as the high cost of housing.

Further considerations are as follows:

• Household growth since 2000 averaged 0.5 percent, only half the average rate of the nation’s ten-year growth of 1.0 percent.

• The projected five-year average household growth rate for Los Angeles County is forecasted at 1.2 percent, on pace with the national average.

ECONOMIC TRENDS

Gross Metro Product

The Los Angeles economy is the 18th largest in the world. Despite being a large and mature economy, the nation has outperformed Los Angeles in terms of annual growth in gross metro product (GMP). According to the data supplied by Moody’s Economy.com, the Los Angeles region’s GMP experienced 4.1 percent reduction during 2009, compared to 1.1 percent in 2008 and 1.5 percent growth in 2007. Although GMP growth in 2009 slowed to an alarming rate, according to Moody’s most recent forecast for 2010, it is anticipated that the Los Angeles market will see some recovery with an expected rate of growth at 2.3 percent.

Some notable considerations are:

• Over a ten-year period from 2000 to 2009, Los Angeles’ average annual GMP growth rate of 1.7 percent is slightly below that of the national average growth of 1.8 percent.

• Through 2014, Los Angeles is expected to experience average annual GMP growth of 3.7 percent, above the average projected GMP growth for the nation over the comparable period (3.4 percent).

Employment Distribution

In terms of its industry sector composition, the economic diversity of Los Angeles is comparable to that of the nation, with some exceptions. First, Los Angeles is more heavily weighted in the Information, Manufacturing, and Professional & Business Services sectors than the United States as a whole. Also, the metro area’s employment base is relatively under-weighted in the Construction, Education & Health Services, and Government sectors when compared to the national average.

Although Los Angeles has a very diverse employment base, the region’s status as both a port city and an international entertainment hub profoundly affect the economy. Due to influence of the region’s “twin ports” of Los Angeles and Long Beach, employment in the Los Angeles region relies heavily on the trade, transportation and utilities sector as it directly relates to port activity. Likewise, as the fourth largest employment sector in the Los Angeles region, the ebbs and flows of entertainment industry greatly influence the regional economy. Shifting public demand and changing technologies continue to affect the entertainment industry. Its projected success will depend on how well the industry adjusts to computer and internet-based entertainment and the cost factors that are driving location filming away from Los Angeles.

Additional considerations regarding employment distribution include:

• Employment growth in the Los Angeles manufacturing sector has been steadily declining since 1990 by an average of 3.3 percent per year with the exception of a few years of expansion between 1995 and 1998. The reduction in the 1990s was largely attributed to declines in the transportation equipment, computer and electronic products, and aerospace sectors; the latter being affected by downsizing in defense and high operating costs in California. Current growth figures are estimated at negative 3.9 percent for 2010, and although job losses have been consistent over the past decade, Los Angeles remains the largest manufacturing area in the nation.

• Moody’s Economy.com predicts that moderate national economic growth throughout 2010 will prompt a rise in demand for currently underutilized port workers and facilities in Los Angeles.

• The most recent FilmL.A. report indicates that annual trends in PPD continued to increase as of mid-year 2010, up 13.8 percent from twelve months ending in June 2010 due to the California Film and

Television Tax Credit administered by the California Film Commission. Increases in filming led to the hiring of 21,600 employees in the motion picture and sound recording sector in June 2010.

Major Employers

Although, compared to the national average, government and education & health services are underrepresented, the Los Angeles region’s top three employers, in terms of staff, are the County of Los Angeles totaling an estimated 93,200 employees, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) totaling more than 74,600 employees, followed by the U.S. Federal Government with 53,200 employees. However, the current local and state budget crises have endangered these jobs traditionally seen as “recession proof.” Government employees in all sectors are facing furlough days, pay cuts and lay offs resulting from the instability of local and state economies.

Despite the size of its economy, Los Angeles County is home to a relatively small number of the nation’s Fortune 500 corporations: 20 in total. In 2009, The Walt Disney Company, Northrop Grumman, and Occidental Petroleum were Largest Fortune 500 corporations in Los Angeles County, ranking 7th, 10th and 12th, respectively in the state and ranked 60th, 69th and 98th respectively among Fortune 500 companies nationally. However, Northrop Grumman will relocate its headquarters to the Washington, D.C., area by summer 2011 in order to be closer to its primary client, the U.S. government.

Additional considerations regarding Los Angeles’ major employers include:

• The higher cost of living and operating a business in the Los Angeles region may explain why there is a lack of Fortune 500 companies in such a large, desirable area.

• The data regarding employment in the education & health services and government sectors can be misleading, especially when considering the employment distribution compared to the major employers in the region. While the county & the federal governments and LAUSD have the largest individual number of employees, the actual growth sectors within the Los Angeles economy are

Employment Growth

For the past ten years total employment growth in Los Angeles has consistently trailed the national average, with the exception of 2001 when the Los Angeles MSA registered no growth, on par with the nation’s average reported employment growth rate. Historically, Los Angeles has been slow to rebound after recessionary periods. During the years following both the 1991 and 2001 recessions, the Los Angeles region was sluggish in terms of employment growth in relation to the national average. The Los Angeles economy emerged from the previous

VALUATION & ADVISORY

recession during 2004. It continued to increase through 2006, and then experienced a slowing during late 2007 as a result of the current recession. Employment growth through 2008 was negative 1.2 percent, negative 3.9 percent in 2009, and is forecasted to be negative 1.2 percent throughout 2010 according to Moody’s Economy.com.

Further points to consider are:

• The information sector registered the only year-over increase in employment, adding an estimated 26,100 jobs between July 2009 and July 2010, according to the State of California Employment Development Department.

• Annual employment growth is projected to average 1.6 percent in the Los Angeles region from 2010-2014, lagging behind the 1.8 percent average annual growth of the United States over the same period.

Unemployment

The Los Angeles region’s unemployment rate has historically trailed the national unemployment rate, and June 2010 was no exception. The State of California Employment Development Department released data indicating that the Los Angeles County unemployment rate reached 12.4 percent in July 2010, trailing the national rate by 2.9 percent. Both regional and national unemployment are anticipated to increase in the near term as soft local and state fiscal conditions continue to put pressure on job markets and recovery.

Notable points concerning the region’s unemployment rate are:

• The average unemployment rate is expected to decrease to 12.2 percent by the end of 2010 due to the residual effects of the recent economic recession. The unemployment rate should level out around 4.3 percent in 2014 after trending downward over the next five years.

CONCLUSION

Los Angeles has an established market with a diverse economic base. The industries driving the new economy spurred rapid growth since 2002. However, from mid-2007 to the present, these industries have become vulnerable to a series of negative economic events which are presenting numerous challenges for short-term growth in the area. Despite the residual effects of the economic downturn, the region’s economy should experience moderate growth in the second half of 2010 before picking up speed in 2011.

Final thoughts:

• Los Angeles’ long term growth is largely tied to its two major shipping ports as they present greater access to global economies. Ongoing infrastructure improvements to the ports are expected to result in Los Angeles capturing a greater share of West Coast shipping traffic. Current congestion, however, has allowed other West and East Coast ports to siphon some of the traffic that would normally go to Los Angeles/Long Beach.

• A lack of affordable housing limits migration to the region, and the high cost of doing business often causes businesses to locate elsewhere. In spite of this, Los Angeles provides a broad array of economic drivers from trade, defense, and aerospace to tourism, entertainment and consumer goods, all of which provide a solid foundation for growth in the future.

LOCAL AREA ANALYSIS

Pasadena Overview

Location and Boundaries

The subject property is bounded by Garfield Avenue to the east, Colorado Boulevard to the south, and Union Street to the north, in the City of Pasadena, California. Garfield Avenue is a tertiary north/south residential street through the area, and compliments the major north/south commercial streets of Los Robles Avenue, Arroyo Parkway, Colorado Boulevard, Lake Avenue. The subject is located across the street from Paseo Colorado, an open-air lifestyle center and just east of the “heart” of Old Town Pasadena, a dynamic pedestrian retail and mixed-use neighborhood, and just north of the City of South Pasadena.

The City of Pasadena is located in the northern central portion of Los Angeles County at the western end of the San Gabriel Valley. Pasadena is situated approximately ten miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles and approximately 25 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Pasadena is generally bordered by the City of Glendale to the west, the community of Altadena to the north, the Cities of Sierra Madre and Arcadia to the east, and the Cities of South Pasadena and San Marino to the south. Pasadena was incorporated as a city in 1886 and today comprises an established mix of residential communities with significant commercial development. Pasadena is widely recognized as the home of the Rose Bowl, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology and host of the annual Tournament of Roses’ parade since January 1, 1890. The city also received additional international exposure during 1994, as the Rose Bowl was the official site for the 1994 World Cup Soccer matches.

Access and Transportation

Air transportation in the region is excellent, due to the access of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport (BUR), situated approximately 20 minutes north of downtown Pasadena. It provides general aviation service linking Pasadena to more than 32 cities nationwide, with one-half of the nation’s population located within a 2-1/2 hour flight. Currently, Alaska, American, Delta Connection, JetBlue, Southwest, United Express and US Airways offer domestic service from BUR. BUR currently consists of two terminals, with 14 gates and approximately 250,000 square feet.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) offers full domestic and international air service and is one of the five largest airports in the world in terms of passenger volume. LAX is a thirty-minute drive from Pasadena.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“MTA”) operates 16 public bus lines in Pasadena that provide access throughout the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles areas. These bus lines link Pasadena to downtown Los Angeles and other adjacent communities. Other bus services that serve Pasadena are Foothill Transit, providing regular and express bus service in the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, and the Los Angeles City Department of Transportation (“LADOT”), operating commuter express lines from Encino to Pasadena with stops in Burbank and Glendale.

Phase I of the Pasadena Gold Line opened in 2003 and is part of MTA’s planned 400-mile county-wide rail transit system. This 13.7-mile Pasadena extension links Pasadena with downtown Los Angeles and is projected to eventually serve 50,000 passengers daily. Six stations serve riders in Pasadena from Fillmore Street to Sierra Madre Villa, as depicted in the map on the left. This Gold Line system makes 12 stops between its beginning at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, and travels through Chinatown, Highland Park, Montecito Heights, South Pasadena, and Pasadena. The light rail trains stop at Mission Street in South Pasadena and at six spots in Pasadena: Fillmore Street, Del Mar Boulevard, Memorial Park, Lake Avenue, Allen Avenue and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue.

Plans to extend the Gold Line to the northeastern part of the county are already underway. The Phase 2A Extension of the Metro Gold Line is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2013. Through the addition of stops in Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale, Azusa/Alameda and Azusa Citrus, the Metro Gold Line will connect Union Station to the eastern part of Azusa. Also planned is 2017 expansion 2A, which would extend the line into Montclair. There has been additional positive interest in continuing the Foothill Extension to connect with the Ontario airport.

In addition to expanding service to a large portion of the San Gabriel Valley, the eastside component of the Gold Line was completed in late 2009. This line links Union Station with East Los Angeles, with stops in Little Tokyo/Arts District, Pico/Aliso, Mariachi Plaza, Soto, Indiana, Maravilla, East LA Civic Center and Atlantic.

There are three major Freeways in Pasadena. The Pasadena Freeway (Interstate 110) originates at the southern border of Pasadena and provides access to downtown Los Angeles and continues in a southwesterly direction to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Ventura Freeway (U.S.-134) provides access in a westerly direction from Pasadena through the central portion of the San Fernando Valley. The Ventura Freeway eventually becomes State Highway 101 slightly west of Universal City and provides access to the northwestern portions of Los Angeles County and further west to Ventura County. The Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) extends in a northwesterly to easterly direction and provides access to La Crescenta, Sunland, and points further northwest, as well as Monrovia, Azusa, and points further east.

Education

The Pasadena Unified School District (“PUSD”) is responsible for the City of Pasadena, as well as the City of Sierra Madre and the unincorporated City of Altadena. The district includes 17 elementary schools, three K-8 schools, three middle schools, four high schools, three charter schools, as well as one continuation and an independent study school.

Pasadena is also home to California Institute of Technology (CalTech). The school is very involved with NASA through its Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the geological sciences (earthquake monitoring, etc). The Fuller Theological Seminary is one of the largest multi-denominational seminaries in the world, with over 4,000 students

Demographics

Claritas, Inc. provides historical, current and forecasted population estimates for the surrounding subject area including the City of Pasadena as well as Los Angeles County. Patterns of development density and migration are reflected in the current population estimates. Information provided by Claritas, Inc. is summarized on the accompanying exhibit. Forecasts anticipate the City of Pasadena will enjoy continued positive population growth trends through 2013.

A demographic report prepared by Claritas, Inc. for the one-, three- and five-mile radius surrounding the subject property has been reviewed and analyzed. Pertinent data obtained from the report is summarized as follows:

• As of 2009 estimates, 202,694 people live within a 3-mile radius of the subject property, a number that is expected to increase by 1.09 percent over the next five years.

The Pasadena market area has an extensive and diverse mix of significant headquarters facilities for business and public entities, as shown the accompanying exhibit. The area serves as the headquarters for CalTech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Craftsman Brewing Company, as well the major facilities for engineering firms including Parsons and Jacobs. Avery Dennison also has its headquarters in Pasadena.

Although a few companies have experienced a decline in total employees due to various downsizes and the prior economic recession, a number of companies have shown sizeable growth over the nine-year period; chief among them is Kaiser Permanente, which experienced a 678 percent rise in total employees, from 450 in 2000 to 3,500 in 2009. SBC, which changed its name to AT&T in 2007, doubled its total employees in the City of Pasadena, accounting for 2.5 percent of Pasadena’s total employment. Pasadena City College reported 121 percent growth, as a consequence of continued renovations, a growing student body and its status as having the second-highest transfer rate in the State of California. Today, Pasadena City College is the third largest community college in the United States. Also in the education sector, the Art Center College of Design experienced a substantial increase in employees, from 200 in 2000 to 810 in 2009. In addition to continued growth, the college is now recognized as one of the top five design colleges in the world. In an age where countless newspapers have been forced to make cutbacks, San Gabriel Valley Newspapers have actually reported growth, with 125 new employees since year-end 2000.

301 COLORADO LOCAL AREA ANALYSIS 27

• The preceding list of development projects illustrates the extensive interest in the Pasadena real estate market as well as the perceived economic viability of a wide range of property types within the city. The contemplated developments include, major mixed-use projects office, residential, and retail uses, entertainment and retail developments, offices, schools, medical/healthcare facilities, and a wide range of multiple family residential developments including apartments, condominiums, and senior living projects.

The majority of the most recent developments have a concentrated mix of multifamily residential development. There is very little proposed new office development “in the pipeline”.

Other Area Attractions

The Pasadena area offers a variety of entertainment-oriented venues, including live theater and musical performances, museums and galleries, and an expanding array of shopping and dining opportunities. The City of Pasadena provides five entertainment facilities, which offer theatrical productions, symphony orchestras, and stand-up comedy.

• Pasadena Playhouse is a registered historic landmark and continues to serve as the training ground for persons involved with theatrical, film, and television production.

• The Pasadena Civic Auditorium is located on Green Street, just east of Marengo Avenue. The Pasadena Civic provides a seating capacity of 3,000 persons and is the host of the People’s Choice Awards and the annual Emmy awards for prime time television. Annual attendance at the civic auditorium is reported to be approximately 500,000 persons.

• The Ambassador Auditorium is a 1,262-seat concert hall and serves as the host of approximately 115 concerts each season. Annual attendance at the Ambassador is reported to be in the range of 130,000 to 140,000 persons per year.

• The Norton Simon Museum is located on Colorado Boulevard near the junction of the Ventura Freeway and the Foothill Freeway. The museum features European art, sculpture gardens, tours, and an extensive library. Annual attendance at the museum is reported at 130,000 persons.

• The Huntington Library, Art Gallery & Botanical Gardens is a research and educational center serving scholars and the general public. The botanical gardens cover 150 acres of the property’s total land area of 207 acres, and feature 14,000 varieties of plants. The art gallery contains one of the most extensive collections of British and French 18th Century art of any gallery in the country.

Old Town Pasadena

One of the more popular visitor attractions in Pasadena is the Old Pasadena Historic District. The Old Town Pasadena district is an area of approximately 20 square blocks, providing a diverse blend of retail, dining and entertainment opportunities. The Old Pasadena area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a redevelopment project of the City of Pasadena. Old Pasadena is centered along Colorado Boulevard between Pasadena Avenue (to the west) and Arroyo Parkway (to the east). The northern boundary of Old Pasadena is Corson Avenue and the southern boundary is Del Mar Avenue. The primary contribution from the city in the redevelopment of the area has been the construction of several new parking structures, which have provided an additional incentive for retailers and restaurateurs to renovate many of the existing commercial buildings in the area. Most of the shops in the area are open late at night to accommodate dinner and theater patrons of the local restaurants and theatres. The attractiveness of this location is evidenced by the number of high profile retailers which have opened for business in the area, which includes Tiffany’s & Co., Saks on Fifth Ave., Forever XXI, Crate & Barrel, The Gap, Banana Republic, Il Fornaio, Apple, Cheese Cake Factory, Restoration Hardware, Z

Gallery, Urban Outfitters, Barnes & Noble, Diesel, Guess, Chico’s, J. Crew, Armani Exchange, and Victoria Secrets. New retailers entering this market include Kenneth Cole. Old Pasadena has experienced historically high occupancy levels. Alongside these high profile retail vendors, Old Town Pasadena is now home to the newly opened Gold Class Cinemas at One Colorado. The result of a complete renovation of the old Laemmle’s theater, Gold Class Cinemas features first run movies and theaters equipped with oversized reclining seats and a full-service bar and restaurant, where patrons can order a wide array of dishes and alcoholic beverages.

Rose Bowl

Perhaps the most widely recognized Pasadena landmark is the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl is located in the northwestern portion of Pasadena, approximately one mile north of the Ventura Freeway and one half mile west of Orange Grove Boulevard. The facility is the home field for the UCLA football team during the fall season, and is the site of the annual Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day.

Paseo Colorado

One of Pasadena’s newest developments is Paseo Colorado, a mixed-use retail “destination” center which combines residential uses with retail and entertainment uses. The retail component consists of a pedestrian-oriented, two-level shopping center with an open-air layout. The center includes a cinema, and an upscale supermarket and a health club, as well as a major department store (Macy’s). Other significant tenants include national retailers Eddie Bauer, BCBG, Sephora and Ann Taylor Loft, Kay-Bee Toys, and several restaurants.

Other world-class institutions in Pasadena include Pacific Asia Museum, California Institute of Technology, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Tournament House (Wrigley Mansion and Gardens) and the Annual Tournament of Roses Parade.

Surrounding Land Uses

The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Garfield Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, in the Civic Center area just east of the Pasadena City Hall. The northerly boundary of the property extends along Union Avenue to the southwest corner of Euclid Avenue. This location is less than one-half mile east of Old Town Pasadena, one block north of Colorado Boulevard, and three blocks south of the I-210 Freeway. The property is situated along the northerly side of Colorado Boulevard, directly across from Paseo Colorado, a major open-air mixed use retail entertainment center with apartments. The Fuller Theological Seminary is located in the block east across Los Robles Avenue, and Plaza Las Fuentes, a Class A office development is located directly North across Union Street. The subject has a very dynamic location with various amenities including restaurants, shopping, government facilities and good quality multi-family residential uses.

The subject enjoys an excellent location along Colorado Boulevard, near freeways, major arterials, and the desirable Arroyo Parkway address along the western “gateway” into and out of Pasadena.

CONCLUSION

The subject location in the northern/central portion of Los Angeles County provides for good access to outlying areas in the greater Los Angeles area by way of the extensive southern California freeway system. The subject property is within close proximity to several visitor draws into the Pasadena area, including entertainment, shopping, hotels, and dining opportunities. The overall outlook for the subject property over the long-term is positive.

Considerable duplication exists within the office tenant base for the Los Angeles County office markets. However, the office markets maintain separate identities in terms of the primary tenancies and relative prestige and corresponding relative rental rate structures for comparable buildings within the separate markets. Legal and accounting firms provide considerable tenant demand within each of the markets, for example, but the type and focus of these professional firms is directed toward the business base within the sector. Downtown Los Angeles law and accounting firms consist primarily of larger national or regional firms oriented toward corporations and government for example, while Westside Los Angeles firms often are smaller and specialize in a particular field, such as entertainment law.

The statistics on a preceding chart include all building classes (A, B, and C), while the exhibit on the previous page provides a statistical overview of the Class A office market in Los Angeles County. The Class A component of the county office inventory contains a third quarter 2010 total of 122.5 million rentable square feet, with a direct vacancy rate of 16.9 percent, which is comparable to the overall Los Angeles County (all classes) market direct vacancy level (16.7 percent). The weighted average rental rate of $34.70 per-square-foot annually for available Class A space is approximately 12.2 percent above the average ($30.94 psf) for the overall county (including Class A, B, and C space).

VACANCY TRENDS

The gradual recovery from the economic recession that impacted Los Angeles during the first half of the 1990’s gave way to a full-fledged economic expansion from 1995 through 2000. The strong economic environment in Los Angeles County led to declining vacancy rates and increasing rents for office space for eight consecutive years through year-end 2000. The economy softened during 2001 and 2002, however, which weakened demand for office space on a countywide basis, resulting in a reversal of the favorable vacancy trend, as shown in the following chart. The statistics from 2003 to 2007 indicated a positive, stabilizing trend with both direct and overall vacancy rates declining annually from 2002 through 2007. The direct vacancy level on a countywide basis reached single digits for the first time in the past 20 years as of year-end 2006, and continued to decline to 8.2 percent through second quarter 2007; however, as of year-end 2007 the vacancy rate increased slightly by 80 basis points to 9.0 percent. This improving vacancy trend led to declines in county-wide vacancy of 200 basis points during 2004, 190 basis points during 2005, 140 basis points during 2006, and 80 basis points during 2007. The overall vacancy rates (including sublease space) experienced even more significant declines, with the overall vacancy declining from a peak of 18.8 percent as of year-end 2002 to 10.5 percent as of year-end 2007. These favorable trends began to reverse during the second half of 2007, however, and have continued through 2008, 2009 and through three quarters of 2010 as direct vacancy in Los Angeles County increased by 190 basis points from year-end 2007 to 10.9 percent (year-end 2008) and an additional 400 basis points to 14.9 percent as of year-end 2009. Direct vacancy has continued to increase through the first three quarters of 2010. Overall vacancy increased from 10.5 percent as of year-end 2007 to 12.5 percent during as of year-end 2008, representing a 200 basis point increase. Overall vacancy increased further by 460 basis points over year-end 2008 figures to 17.1 percent through year-end 2009. Through third quarter 2010, the overall Los Angeles County market was experiencing direct and overall (including sublease space) vacancy levels of 16.7 and 18.5 percent, respectively.

Vacancy levels have steadily increased since second quarter, 2007 through third quarter, 2010. The direct vacancy rate in Los Angeles County reached 16.7 percent through the first three quarters of 2010, representing an increase of 180 basis points over year-end 2009 (4Q09) and 580 basis points over year-end 2008.

DEMAND AND ABSORPTION

The declining vacancy rate trend through 2000 was a result of increased demand for office space, was fueled by increased employment throughout the southern California market area. This employment trend “flattened” from 2001 through 2004 prior to increasing from 2005 through year-end 2007. The Los Angeles region experienced job losses for the first time in three years during 2008 as the area shed 143,800 workers. As of fourth quarter 2009, total non-agriculture employment decreased by an additional 235,400 jobs over year-end 2008 data, representing the most significant historical decline on an annual basis in employment (-5.8%) in the past 16 years. Through September 2010, Los Angeles County lost an additional 55,900 employees over mid-year 2009 figures.

As shown in subsequent exhibits, the county had experienced steadily increasing levels of positive absorption from 2003 through 2007, resulting in demand levels which significantly exceed new construction. This trend reversed sharply during 2008, 2009, and through third quarter 2010 as the county experienced 2.41 million, 5.11 million, and 2.95 million square feet of negative absorption, respectively.

The chart below summarizes the relationship between employment, county office vacancy rates, and absorption over the past 16.75 years through September 2010.

The total employment growth of approximately 377,500 from 1995 through 2000 coincided with six consecutive years of growth in net absorption and a decline in the vacancy rate from 18.6 percent to 10.6 percent. The average annual absorption during this period of employment growth (1995 through 2000) was approximately 3.2 million square feet. The most significant vacancy decline occurred during 1999 despite a more active construction environment and relatively more modest employment growth in comparison with 1998. Vacancy rates increased during 2001 and 2002, in conjunction with a decline in employment. Employment levels stabilized in 2001, prior to declining fairly significantly during 2002 and 2003, resulting in an increase in vacancy of 4.5 percentage points due to negative absorption and new construction. New construction completions totaled 5.62

million square feet during 2001-2002. Excluding these two years (2001-2002), the county experienced positive absorption levels in excess of 1.4 million square feet annually from 1996 through 2007. Los Angeles County experienced over 3.3 million square feet of positive absorption during 2007 although most of this absorption occurred during the first half of the year. Over the 5-year period from 2003 through 2007, Los Angeles County averaged approximately 3.1 million square feet of positive absorption annually, which in turn contributed to the county’s lowest direct vacancy level (9.0 percent) experienced in the last 14 years. During 2008, however, this trend reversed sharply as Los Angeles County experienced negative absorption (year-end) of approximately 2.41 million square feet. Through year-end 2009, absorption was further impacted with an additional 5.11 million square feet of negative absorption. This negative absorption level was the most significant “giving back” of office space in the historical data set. Through third quarter 2010, Los Angeles County has experienced continued negative absorption of 2.95 million square feet.

These absorption figures indirectly coincide with a decline in “Total Non-Agricultural Jobs” for Los Angeles County. The State of California Employment Development Department reported an unemployment rate of 12.4 percent through August of 2010 for the State of California, approximately 2.8 percent points higher than the national average of 9.6 percent. The Los Angeles County (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale MD) civilian unemployment rate as of August 2010 is 0.6 percent points higher than the State of California at 13.0 percent, representing 636,900 persons (preliminary) currently unemployed.

DEMAND DRIVERS

Traditionally, the Los Angeles region was driven by three primary industries: aerospace, entertainment, and tourism. While the “big three” are not large direct users of office space, the business services supporting these industries (finance, accounting, and legal) significantly influence the office market. The region’s favorable climate and infrastructure have enabled the Los Angeles region to emerge as a leading business, trade and cultural center. Global trade, driven by the activity at the area’s main ports (Los Angeles and Long Beach) spurred significant employment gains.

Some of the primary demand drivers in the Los Angeles office market include:

The entertainment industry’s impact on the regional economy is sizable, with 120,000 jobs directly attributable to this segment. In addition, the local studios and supplementary attractions provide a primary source of tourism for the area.

Driven by its status as an international trade hub, Los Angeles contains the largest manufacturing center and the largest retail market in the country. The financial and banking sector in the Los Angeles region is also one of the largest in the nation, housing more than 100 foreign banks.

OFFICE-USING EMPLOYMENT

Following the 2001 recession, office-using employment decreased, reducing demand for office space and resulting in negative absorption of 1.2 million square feet in 2002. Office-using employment growth returned in 2003 and remained positive through 2007, averaging an annual increase of 1.0 percent. Over that period, absorption averaged nearly 3.0 million square feet per year and helped drive vacancy to historic lows.

As a result of the recession, slowing economic conditions surfaced in the second half of 2007, persisted in 2008, thus suppressing office-using employment growth. Reflecting the continued slowdown, Moody’s Economy.com reported a 7.1 percent decrease in office employment in 2009. Economy.com reports that office-using employment is anticipated to decrease by 0.1 percent by the end of 2010. Positive office-using employment growth is expected to continue over the next five years.

Mid-year employment highlights include:

Although national unemployment rates demonstrated some small signs of recovery, Los Angeles’ job losses continued in third quarter 2010. Year-over-year losses occurred mostly in the government, manufacturing, professional and business sectors, while the greatest employment increases came from the motion picture & sound recording and leisure & hospitality sectors.

In addition to instability in private sector employment, jobs in the public sector are at risk in the region. In June 2010, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa signed off on a $6.7 billion city budget that decreases services, raises municipal fees and includes the option to cut up to 1,700 city jobs. As one of the largest employers in the region, this type of loss to office-using employment will negatively impact the office market over the entire region.

The graph below compares the forecasted annual growth rates in office-using employment from the most recent economic stabilization in 2005 through 2014 between the Los Angeles region and the United States:

DEMAND FORECAST

Demand for office space within the market is tied to changes in office-using employment over the next several years. Using office-using employment forecasts, space per employee and each submarket’s share of demand, a reasonable estimate of office space demand can be achieved. Based upon an analysis of historical employment and office space data, the following assumptions are applied in the demand forecast:

Office-using employment growth is related to increases in non-manufacturing employment. Since nominal office demand is generated by the manufacturing sector, manufacturing jobs are excluded from the analysis.

Using employment figures supplied by Moody’s Economy.com, office-using employment, including both private and public office space, comprises roughly 30.0 percent of total non-manufacturing employment. Office-using employment in this demand analysis includes financial services, information technology, professional and business services, education and health services, government, and other services.

The office space per employee allocated by companies ranges widely, based upon the type of industry and the dynamics (particularly cost) prevailing within the local market. Office ratios quoted by firms and industries range from 100 to well over 300 square feet per person. An average space-per-employee ratio of 200 square feet will be used for this analysis.

The demand capture ratios for the major markets are based upon actual historical space demand within each market as a percent of total demand in the overall Los Angeles market.

The following table outlines the demand analysis for the Los Angeles County office market and each of its major office markets:

Highlights of the demand analysis include:

Given a historical 10.0 percent stabilized vacancy, the overall market is currently oversupplied by 16.5 million square feet.

Office-using employment increases are expected to translate into demand for 3.1 million square feet of space per year over the next five years. This amount of space is less than the office market is currently oversupplied so it may take five years to reach a balance, although the various submarkets do not recover evenly.

Excluding projects that are currently under construction, the Los Angeles office market contains 65 months of supply to reach the stabilized vacancy rate of 10.0 percent; an estimate that is in accordance with current economic stabilization timelines.

THE PATTERN OF MARKET TIGHTENING/SOFTENING

The Metropolitan Los Angeles office market caters to the region’s diverse economy, and includes a number of submarkets characterized by the dominant tenant base within each market. The performance of the individual markets varies considerably in terms of vacancy, absorption, and rental rate growth. A review of the countywide vacancy data on a detailed submarket basis indicates there is a significant range in the relative vacancy levels for specific submarket locations. In general, the most desirable suburban office markets such as westside Los Angeles and the Tri-Cities have the lowest vacancy levels and “recover” earlier in the cycle. The chart on the following page compares the vacancy rates as of year-end 1995 and 2000 for a cross section of Los Angeles County markets, with the corresponding change during this timeframe. We also included the year-end 2002 through year-end 2009 vacancy levels. The year-end 2002 vacancy rates were, for all Los Angeles County

markets, above year-end 2000 vacancy rates to varying degrees. The 2003 vacancy levels improved (declined) for a number of markets, with an overall decline in countywide vacancy from 15.3 percent to 15.1 percent. The data for 2004 showed a more significant vacancy decline to 13.1 percent, or 200 basis points below the year-end 2003 figure. The year-end 2005 vacancy rates demonstrate continued improvement, declining an additional 190 basis points since year-end 2004 to 11.2 percent for these markets. The trend continued through year-end 2006, with a county-wide direct vacancy rate of 9.8 percent which is 140 basis points lower than the previous year. As of year-end 2007, the direct vacancy for the entire Los Angeles county market decreased by 80 basis points over year-end 2006 levels to its lowest level in more than 12 years. As noted under the previous vacancy discussion, however, these vacancy rates have reversed course over the past year and increased significantly. The year-end 2008 direct vacancy rate was 10.9 percent while the overall vacancy rate was 12.5 percent, representing increases of 190 and 200 basis points over year-end 2007, respectively. Vacancy levels continued to rise through 2009 (year-end), with direct vacancy of 14.9 percent and overall vacancy of 17.1 percent, representing 400 and 460 basis point increases over year-end 2008 figures, respectively. Through third quarter 2010, Los Angeles County is experiencing direct and overall (including sublease space) vacancy rates of 16.7 and 18.5 percent, respectively.

The vacancy levels are likely to continue to increase over the near term, as employment growth typically lags overall economic recovery. The positive characteristic in comparison with prior recessionary periods and negative job growth is the fact that there have been more limited levels of new construction leading into the current downturn.

The pattern of recovery in the region from 1995 to 2000 and from 2003 through year-end 2006 generally commenced with the prime suburban markets situated near the most desirable residential marketplaces, or in areas which attracted tenant categories with stronger employment profiles. Submarkets in Los Angeles’ Westside and Tri-Cities areas are desirable residential locations and appeal to the entertainment industry, which expanded during the middle of the 1990’s. Other submarkets, particularly those situated adjacent to the most desirable submarkets (such as Miracle Mile, Sherman Oaks/Encino, and El Segundo) benefited directly and indirectly from the increased demand in the westside and Tri-Cities markets, and mirrored the recovery experienced in the prime markets relatively early in the cycle. The Westside markets and El Segundo have generally been the most volatile in terms of vacancy levels the past several years, while the Tri-Cities and Central Valley markets, as well as the CBD have been more stable.

Several submarkets tend to recover somewhat later in the cycle. These markets, which include the Los Angeles CBD and Los Angeles South, experienced more significant declines during the first half of the 1990’s due to overbuilding and the loss of major components of the demand base, such as the aerospace industry in the south Los Angeles market area and several major corporate and financial tenants in the CBD.

ABSORPTION AND CONSTRUCTION

As shown in the charts above, virtually all Los Angeles County submarkets experienced significant improvement in vacancy levels from 1995 through 2000, with a subsequent increase in vacancy during 2001 and 2002, and a solid re-stabilization during 2003 through year-end 2007. The vacancy levels for Los Angeles County are steadily rising above the lowest experienced in more than 15 years, with the markets weakening under the weight of the national recession. The increasing vacancy rates are a product of substantial increases in “negative” net absorption in conjunction with relatively minimal construction levels, as shown on a subsequent chart. As with vacancy trends for the county, absorption levels slowed significantly over the second half of 2007. During year-end 2008 and 2009, Los Angeles County experienced 2.41 and 5.11 million square feet of negative absorption, respectively. In addition to these heavy losses, through third quarter 2010, Los Angeles County has experienced additional “negative” absorption of 2.95 million square feet. This figure correlates directly to the significant increase in both direct and overall vacancy levels within the county, as discussed previously.

The breakdown of the county-wide absorption figures on a quarterly basis are included in the accompanying exhibit, which re-presents the county statistics set forth earlier, but provides the quarterly breakdown of absorption. The chart below summarizes the trend in the absorption for the county:

The total absorption during the first half of 2007 equaled 3.11 million square feet, or 93 percent of the total for 2007. The slowing demand resulted in increasing vacancy (as described previously), and provides further evidence of a national recession. Aggregate net office absorption (direct) in Los Angeles County from year-end 2008 through third quarter 2010 consists of 10.47 million square feet of negative absorption.

New construction levels averaged 1.6 million square feet annually for the 10-year period 1998 through 2007. From year-end 2007 to year-end 2009, there have been approximately 5,163,026 square feet of construction completions. The Los Angeles North and Los Angeles West market areas contributed 2,551,829 and 2,417,144 square feet of construction completions during this timeframe, or approximately 96.2 percent of the overall completions from 2007 to 2009 for Los Angeles County. This new construction was considerably less than the new construction completed during the last construction “cycle” period 1982 through 1991, and compares with annual construction averaging more than seven million square feet during the two initial years of the major economic recession which began during 1990-1991. Construction during 2004 - 2006 occurred primarily in the LA North market, which accounted for approximately 86 percent of the total new office construction in the county from 2004 through 2006. However, during 2007, the LA West market accounted for about 76 percent all new office construction for the entire county. During year-end 2009, construction completions were primarily limited Los Angeles West and Los Angeles North, which accounted for 57.1 and 35.4 percent of the total, respectively. Through three quarters of 2010, there has been 367,658 square feet of construction completions in Los Angeles County, concentrated in the Los Angeles West market.

The level of new office construction in Los Angeles County is expected to remain at relatively low levels in comparison to historical construction levels for several reasons: 1) there are few sites with available land in strong market locations which can be entitled for office development; 2) during periods of strong economic growth, many of the commercial sites were targeted by investors who planned to entitle these sites for multi-family residential development rather than commercial office use, effectively removing these potential office development sites from the inventory; 3) as discussed in more detail subsequently, there are numerous political and zoning constraints which continue to place limitations on new office development in many markets; and 4) the national recession in combination with the lower rental rates and higher vacancy levels is making it increasingly difficult to acquire construction financing to support the development of new projects.

When compared to new construction activity, the net office absorption exceeded new supply for the last five years of the 1990’s, and this trend continued through 2000. The negative net absorption of approximately 2.3 million square feet in 2001 and 630,000 square feet in 2002 is primarily attributable to the Westside markets. During 2004, absorption totaled positive 3,598,744 square feet, the most absorption since 2000. During 2005, Los Angeles County posted positive absorption of 4.43 million square feet. This trend continued through year-end 2006 and 2007, as Los Angeles County posted positive absorption of 2,533,648 and 3,336,945 square feet, respectively. As mentioned previously, due to numerous factors (most notably the abating nationwide recession) absorption levels for the county turned sharply negative during year-end 2008 and year-end 2009 with 2.41 million and 5.11 million square feet of negative absorption, respectively. This trend continued through the first three quarters of 2010 with approximately 2.95 million additional square feet of space “given back”.

The chart below shows the cumulative current “oversupply” of office space, based on the difference between new construction and net absorption, added to the Los Angeles County office market since 1990.

The substantial oversupply of new office development from 1991 through 1994 was more than offset with six consecutive years of positive absorption in excess of new development from 1995 through 2000. The combination of construction completions and negative absorption during 2001-2002 led to a renewed oversupply, however. Based on the relationship between new construction and net absorption levels on a county-wide basis, there was roughly a 2.6 million square-foot total oversupply in new construction over the past 20 years (1990 through 2009). The positive absorption trends from 2003 through 2007 were very favorable as the market

absorbed in excess of 15.3± million square feet of space during this time frame. This figure exceeded new construction for the same time period (4.8± million SF) by approximately 10.6± million square feet of office space, effectively contributing to the steady decrease in vacancy levels. This trend reversed sharply during 2008, 2009 and through third quarter 2010 as there was an “oversupply” of approximately 3.45 million, 7.36 million, and 3.32 million square feet of office space, respectively, offsetting the favorable trend during the previous “up cycle”. The total oversupply during this timeframe was 14,127,916 square feet.

DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS

Excluding downtown Los Angeles, nearly every submarket within the City of Los Angeles and most adjacent suburban cities with a meaningful office supply have government-imposed restrictions on new commercial development. These restrictions are generally tied to political factors, issues of traffic congestion and other infrastructure concerns. The table below summarizes several Los Angeles area markets that have adopted political constraints on new development.

Despite the economic feasibility of new construction, the demand for new office space exceeded new construction in the surrounding markets through year-end 2000 due to development restrictions. An analysis of the historical trends indicates the actual new construction levels significantly “lagged” the demonstrated demand for office space in the county from 1996 through 2000. The economy weakened during 2001 and 2002, and the level of leasing activity slowed in most areas of Los Angeles County, resulting in an oversupply of new space. The current cycle is not expected to be of the same magnitude as the early 1990’s recession in southern California, however. The employment base in the county is not dominated by a single industry, and there has been substantially less new development than during the latter part of the 1980’s. The approximate 19.64± million square feet of new office development in Los Angeles County during the last 15 years (1995 through 2009) is significantly less than the 90.7 million square feet of new office development during the 10-year period 1982 through 1991. Through the fourth quarter of 2009, there was approximately 2.25 million square feet of new office development. As mentioned previously, there has been very modest new construction during the first three quarters of 2010.

CONCLUSION

In 2009, the Los Angeles County office market saw little economic relief. During 2010, the Los Angeles County office market is expected to experience a moderate recovery, in concert with the regional and national economy. Although lingering unemployment is expected to persist, the area’s diverse employment base typically enables the county to recover earlier than other regions during economic slowdowns, which should help prevent a prolonged downturn.

The following points summarize the outlook for the Los Angeles County office market for the near future:

Current economic instability and continued oversupply for office space will reduce speculative office development. In addition, the common themes that hinder new development in Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California (lack of development sites, the high cost of new construction, political restrictions, etc.) will remain major challenges.

Due to the deteriorating market conditions, demand over the near-term is expected to be well below levels of growth experienced between 2003 and 2007. However, the long-term market outlook is anticipated to be positive, as Los Angeles’ diversified economy will helps buffer it from severe economic hardship over the next five years.

LOS ANGELES NORTH OFFICE MARKET

MARKET OVERVIEW

The subject is located in the Pasadena submarket, in the Tri-City/East Valley market, which is one component of the larger Los Angeles North office sector defined by Cushman & Wakefield.

The Los Angeles North office sector encompasses four market areas located primarily in the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Conejo Valley areas of Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles North sector also includes several office locations which include sections of the southeastern portion of Ventura County. The Los Angeles North office sector is the third largest sector in Los Angeles County, after the Downtown Los Angeles and West Los Angeles markets, respectively. The North Los Angeles sector is comprised of four major market areas: Simi/Conejo Valley, West Valley, Central Valley, and East Valley/Tri-Cities. The individual submarkets that comprise the overall North Los Angeles market exhibit a wide range in construction quality, location, tenant based, and corresponding rental rates. The accompanying exhibit provides an overview of the location and statistical characteristics of this office sector and the 22 individual submarkets which comprise the four market areas.

The Los Angeles North office sector contains 53.56 million square feet of office space in 595 buildings, excluding owner/user, medical and government buildings. The 22 individual submarkets that comprise the overall competitive office market are differentiated according to access, market perception, tenant appeal and improvement quality, and rental rates. The office development in the Los Angeles North market is concentrated in three major areas: Tri-Cities (Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena and adjacent submarkets), in the eastern portion of the San Fernando Valley, the combined Encino/Sherman Oaks submarkets in the central portion of the Valley, and the West Valley, including Warner Center/Woodland Hills.

As of third quarter 2010, the Los Angeles North office sector reported a direct vacancy rate of 18.6 percent and an overall vacancy level (including sublease space) of 20.7 percent. The chart below summarizes the direct and overall vacancy trends since 1992 for the North Los Angeles office market sector.

The third quarter vacancy figures are at the highest levels of the past 19 years, including during the severe recession of the early 1990’s. The historical trends following recessionary periods provide some insight in projecting trends following the current (ending in 2009) recession. The vacancy rate decreased steadily from 1994 through 2000, reaching single-digit levels as of year-end 2000, prior to increasing from 2001 to 2003 during the last recession. From 2004 through 2006, however, the market vacancy levels again declined steadily, with the year-end 2006 direct vacancy level of 6.2 percent representing a decline of 640 basis points from the year-end 2002 and 2003 figure of 12.6 percent. This favorable trend reversed beginning 2007, with the onset of the current major recession, with vacancy increasing by 100 basis points to 7.2 percent through year-end 2007. Through year-end 2008, the direct vacancy increased to 10.8 percent, representing a 360 basis point increase over year-end 2007. Market fundamentals deteriorated further through fourth quarter 2009 as direct and overall vacancy increased to 15.8 and 18.3 percent respectively, representing increases of 500 and 560 basis points, respectively over year-end 2008 levels. This increase in vacancy is attributable to negative absorption levels most submarkets. Through third quarter 2010, the overall Los Angeles North market has weakened further, experiencing direct and overall vacancy rates of 18.9 and 20.7 percent, respectively, the highest levels since 1992. The pace of negative absorption has been slowing since the recession ended in late 2009, and it is reasonable to project a recovery cycle similar to the periods following the last two recessions, recognizing that the most recent recession is more severe than 2000-2001, and that there has been more limited new construction than occurred prior to the recession of the early 1990’s.

The rental rate trends in the Los Angeles North market demonstrated a steady increase in conjunction with the declining vacancy rate trends from 1996 to 1999, prior to “flattening” from 2001 to 2003. As vacancy declined beginning in 2004, rents once again increased, although they again “flattened” in 2008 and remain steady through first quarter 2009. As of year-end 2009, asking rents in the Los Angeles North market fell to $31.86 per-square-foot (annually), approximately 3.0 percent below year-end 2008 direct asking rents of $32.84 per-square-foot. Weighted average asking rents have declined slightly through the three quarters of 2010. The chart below shows the direct vacancy and rental rates trends in the “North” market since 1993.

While the data shows that rental rates have declined only slightly since peaking in 2007, the data is based on quoted rents for available space, and does not necessarily reflect the extent of the actual rental rate decline in the market.

Class A buildings in the Los Angeles North market are experiencing significantly higher rental rates in comparison to Class “B” and “C” assets, as shown below. The Class A buildings are experiencing higher vacancy rates, however.

the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena, as well as the adjacent communities of Universal City and Studio City, is generally considered the most desirable in the Los Angeles North office market. The tenant base in this market area is dominated by the entertainment industry, particularly requirements from the major studios headquartered in Burbank and nearby Universal City: Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC, ABC, and Universal as well as DreamWorks. The “urban center” of Warner Center anchors the western end of the Los Angeles North office market. The tenant base in the West Valley market, and specifically Warner Center, is characterized by a number of finance and healthcare related companies including Blue Cross/WellPoint, Health Net, Prudential, 21st Century and SunAmerica. The Central Valley submarkets of Encino and Sherman Oaks are situated between these two major market areas, and the tenant base consists of smaller law and accounting firms, as well as “overflow” entertainment tenants from the Tri-Cities and insurance tenants from the West Valley market.

TRI - CITY / EAST VALLEY OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW

The Tri-City or East Valley office market consists of the combined submarkets of Pasadena, Burbank/Universal City, and Glendale. Beginning 1995, Cushman & Wakefield’s market research statistics have has also included the submarkets of Studio City and North Hollywood within this market sector. The following analysis includes a breakdown of the Tri-City market, which comprises the primary competitive supply for the subject. We have also included a statistical overview of the “East Valley” market area, which includes the primary Tri-Cities submarkets as well as two more “peripheral” submarkets which provide secondary competition.

According to Cushman & Wakefield’s Third Quarter 2010 survey, the combined Tri-City/East Valley office market includes 22,857,410 square feet of rentable office space in 196 buildings. Several accompanying exhibits provide statistical overview of the vacancy rates and absorption levels in the East Valley market area, including Pasadena, East Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Universal City/Studio City, and North Hollywood. In order to isolate the most directly competitive markets to the subject’s Glendale location, we also included separate “Tri-City” exhibits which exclude the less competitive Pasadena East and North Hollywood markets. The office supply in these two submarkets is generally low-rise and of lesser quality than the “prime” Tri-Cities markets of Burbank, Pasadena, and Glendale.

The majority of the Class A office supply in the Tri-City market is situated in buildings located within a few blocks of the Ventura Freeway. Burbank office development is concentrated in the area surrounding Olive Avenue, between Glenoaks and Hollywood Way, and includes the individual submarkets of Universal City, the Burbank Media District, and City Center (downtown). The Glendale office market is concentrated primarily along Brand Boulevard and Central Avenue, extending from Glenoaks Boulevard to Colorado Boulevard and Broadway. The Pasadena office market is located primarily south of the Foothill Freeway, between Lake Avenue and Pasadena Avenue.

The Burbank market statistics include two submarkets as differentiated by Cushman & Wakefield: the Media District and the “City Center” submarkets. The Media District consists of the area concentrated on the north and south sides of the Ventura Freeway from approximately Clybourn Avenue on the west to Buena Vista Street on the east. This submarket extends roughly one mile, and includes three major studios - NBC, Warner Bros. and Disney. The Media District market has historically experienced single-digit vacancy rates and the highest rent levels in the Tri-City market. The “City Center” submarket includes the “downtown” area of Burbank as well as the area near the Bob Hope Airport, which is also known as “Media District North”. This market is situated about four miles to the north of the Media District.

VACANCY TRENDS

Until recently, the Tri-City/East Valley office market has performed better than most other Los Angeles County office markets throughout this decade. Through third quarter 2010, vacancy rates in the East Valley (including Pasadena East and North Hollywood) markets were at 20.4 percent (direct) and 21.6 percent (including sublease space), or slightly worse than the overall county. As of third quarter 2010, the Tri-City markets (excluding East Pasadena and North Hollywood) had direct and overall vacancy levels of 19.5 percent and 20.5 percent, respectively. The Glendale submarket has experienced the highest direct vacancy rates in the Tri Cities. As shown in the following exhibits, the Glendale vacancy rates (26.3% direct and 26.6% overall) are at their highest levels since before 1992. The Universal City/Studio City submarket is the “tightest”, with direct vacancy rates of 9.8 percent. The vacancy rates for the Tri-City markets improved significantly over the period from 2004 through 2006, prior to “softening” during 2007 and weakening significantly during 2008 and through third quarter 2010, as shown on the accompanying chart “Historical Vacancy Trends”.

The direct vacancy rate declined steadily in these markets during the period from year-end 1992 through 1997, from 15.4 percent to 9.0 percent. Despite positive absorption levels, the vacancy rate increased to 10.0 percent during 1998 due to the delivery of new supply to the market. Notwithstanding the new construction completed vacancy levels in the Tri-Cities declined to 8.9 percent in 1999 and to 7.2 percent as of year-end 2000. New office supply and negative absorption levels during 2001 (during a recession) resulted in a significant increase in vacancy from 2000 to 2001 and 2002 from 7.2 percent to 11.1 percent on a direct basis during 2001, and from 7.9 percent to 16.4 percent including sublease space during 2001, and to 12.4 percent (direct) and 18.6 percent

(overall during 2002). As shown on the exhibit, direct vacancy rates increased by 50 basis points during 2003, while overall vacancy (including sublease space) declined significantly. The year-end 2004 showed continued significant improvement in the overall vacancy rate, and a 120 basis point improvement (to 10.0 percent) in the direct vacancy rate over year-end 2003. As of year-end 2007, the direct vacancy rate for the Tri-City/East Valley market increased to 6.8 percent, while the overall vacancy rate (including sublease space) was 7.6 percent. Direct vacancy increased further during 2008 and more significantly through year-end 2009. As of year-end 2009, the direct vacancy rate was 16.1 percent, while the overall vacancy rate (including sublease space) is 18.1 percent. Vacancy proceeded to worsen further through the three quarters of 2010, with direct and overall vacancy levels rising to 20.4 and 21.6 percent, respectively, the highest levels in the last 19 years.

While the performance of the economy and the office market in the region have fluctuated over the past decade, the Tri-City/East Valley markets have historically out-performed the office market in Los Angeles County, experiencing significantly lower vacancy rates than the county. The positive basis point trend reversed during year-end 2009 and through third quarter 2010 as direct vacancy levels in the Tri-City market exceeded those experienced in the overall Los Angeles market, as shown below.

DEMAND AND ABSORPTION

Tenant Base

The Tri-City market is a desirable residential location with a solid demographic base and outstanding amenities. Each of the Tri-Cities submarkets has historically appealed to different primary tenant bases, with significant overlap in tenant demand. Burbank is the location for three major studios - Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, and NBC, and tenants from the entertainment industry dominate this market. The Media District submarket in particular is dominated by the entertainment industry. There is additional demand from this industry in the Studio City/Universal City market, which is adjacent to Universal Studios and CBS Studios, as well as in close proximity to Hollywood, about four miles south and west of this submarket. Additional major tenants in the Burbank submarket include Yahoo!, Technicolor, DreamWorks Animation, Universal Music Group, Warner Music, WNC-

Yahoo! is currently offering the majority of their approximately 200,000 square-foot premises in Media Studios North for sublease, and Aramark is currently “in the market” to consolidate approximately 100,000 square feet. Technicolor also recently downsized its Burbank premises.

There are several potential tenants with significant leasing requirements currently in the market, including Kaiser, had been looking for approximately 40,000 to 100,000 square feet commencing third quarter, 2010, prior to renewing at Parsons development in Old Town, Avery Dennison, with a 75,000 square-foot requirements (looking in Glendale and Pasadena), Aramark, with 100,000 square feet (currently in Burbank), and NBC, with 150,000 square feet (currently in Burbank). AT&T Yellow Pages, currently occupying about 100,000 square feet in 600 North Brand in Glendale, has several floors of expansion requirements. Their existing building has no more expansion room. This expansion requirement is offset by the downsizing of several tenants in the nearby 655 Central, as well as the “give back” of a portion of the Nestle premises in 800 Brand. Nestle recently renewed 75,000 square feet, but has been downsizing in this headquarters building. Other recent significant premises requirements in this market included Old Republic, with about 25,000 square feet (executed a lease at 101 Brand in Glendale) and Cigna (80,000 square feet – renewed at 450 Brand in Glendale). In addition Nestle recently renewed just over 75,000 square feet in its headquarters building (800 Brand in Glendale), and Children’s Hospital renewed (sublease to direct) about 25,000 square feet in the same building.

The Kaiser requirement referenced above resulted in the tenant renewing in its current Pasadena location (Pasadena sublease space) rather than relocate, as the existing landlord dropped its rates and made a much more “aggressive” offer in order to keep the tenant. Worley Parsons had been “in the market” to consolidate multiple locations east of Pasadena into a single 180,000 square-foot premises, and was expected to sign at 155 North Lake Avenue, filling a “hole” left by former Countrywide space. BP is a major client of this firm, however, and the issues created by the oil spill in the Gulf put this consolidation on hold, and Worley Parsons has instead been signing short-term extensions at its existing locations. A Fidelity entity (LPS) is relocating to approximately 100,000 square feet in East Pasadena. The East Pasadena market has a significant supply of sublease space, but most of this space is offered by Earthlink, and has a short remaining term.

In addition to their own property (Grand Central Business Center, or GCBC) in Glendale, Disney is also a major third-party tenant throughout the market as a consequence of their studio and headquarters location for ABC in the Burbank market (a few blocks from the subject). Disney has significant third party premises in the Tower (450,000 SF expiring in 2013), Buena Vista Plaza (2411 Olive) and the Disney Channel building (sold with a leaseback from Disney) in Burbank as well as 150,000 square feet in 611 Brand in Glendale (expiring in 2011). In addition Disney occupies about 180,000 square feet in a North Hollywood building (5161 Lankershim). This tenant is considered to be both an opportunity for the subject in terms of potential consolidation as well as a risk to the overall market in the event a substantial component of these requirements eventually relocates to the GCBC (which is entitled for future development).

The entertainment industry is the primary “driver” of the Media District market, and there are “opportunities” and risks inherent in this dependence upon this industry. In addition to the Disney example above, NBC/Universal is in the process of being acquired by Comcast. Comcast (E! Entertainment) is currently located in the Miracle Mile District (Wilshire Courtyard), and had been “in the market” to relocate more than 300,000 square feet of space when the acquisition was announced. The tenant instead renewed at Wilshire Courtyard, and Universal, currently located in 10 UCP in Universal City (approximately 300,000 square feet) is “on hold” on its lease negotiations for a possible extension or relocation. NBC also has several premises on the nearby studio lot (sold to an entity related to the subject developer in 2007). Warner Bros. and a number of smaller entertainment firms have also

historically been headquartered in this submarket and have provided a consistent demand base for office space positioned at or near the upper end of the Tri-city markets.

NBC currently occupies approximately 700,000 square feet under the terms of a leaseback of its studio. The space is occupied to January, 2012, with a renewal option at specified terms for 12 months (or to January, 2013) for the entire premises only. The tenant has been “in the market” for approximately 100,000 square feet of this requirement.

The Glendale market has captured a diverse mix of corporate tenants, insurance companies, and real estate firms, as well as entertainment tenants. Major tenants in the Glendale market include Nestle USA, numerous insurance companies such as State Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Compensation Insurance, as well as First American Title Company, Public Storage Inc., YellowPages.com, California Teacher’s Credit Union, IHOP and Zurich North America, and a few entertainment industry tenants. Service firms from the legal and medical professions as well as insurance, mortgage, and engineering firms dominate the Pasadena tenant base. Major tenants in Pasadena include Kaiser Permanente, Parsons Engineering, Bank of America, Western Asset Management Company, Avery Dennison Corporation, EarthLink, Fidelity National Insurance Services, Lockheed Federal Credit Union, Land America, Westcom Federal Credit Union, East West Bank, Jacobs Engineering, Cambridge Integrated Services, Fannie Mae, Russ Reid, and University of Phoenix. The Glendale market has been significantly impacted by the recession, with direct vacancy increasing to 22.8 percent as of second quarter, 2010 due to negative absorption as well as the 2009 completion of a new building (207 Goode, which remains vacant).

In addition to the diverse tenant base in the Tri-City market, the entertainment industry provides significant direct and peripheral demand through its leased and owned facilities throughout the Burbank and Glendale markets. Six major studios are located within the Burbank/Glendale/Universal City market: Warner Brothers, NBC, Disney (Burbank), Universal Studios and CBS/MTM (Universal City/Studio City), and the DreamWorks Animation Campus (Glendale).

The Glendale office market includes users from the entertainment industry, insurance industry (including life, health, and real estate title), financial services and real estate and corporate tenants. The largest insurance tenants in Glendale include State Compensation, Cigna, Great West Life, UnumProvident and Employer’s Compensation Insurance. The Nestle USA Company is the largest corporate tenant, with about 500,000 square feet in its headquarters building at 800 North Brand, followed by State Compensation Insurance with over 208,000 square feet in the Glendale Plaza building located at 655 N. Central. As noted above, Nestle renewed a portion of its premises but has been “giving back” other portions of its headquarters space to the landlord. There is some potential significant tenant movement and increased vacancy in the Glendale Class A market over the course of the near term. Several major tenants in the 655 North Central project are expiring over the next two years, including Great West Life, State Compensation and Unum Provident. These tenants are expected to downsize or vacate. The expansion requirements of Yellow Pages, currently in the building just east of this property (600 Brand), may replace some of this tenant loss. Nestle, the major tenant in 800 North Brand recently renewed and downsized effective third quarter, 2010, and several floors will “come back” to the market. Old Republic is relocating in 2010 from 450 Brand to 101 Brand, and will vacate two floors in that building.

Absorption increased dramatically over the period 1996 through 2000, prior to declining to negative 400,000 square feet in 2001. The negative absorption level for the Tri-Cities markets during 2001 was attributable to the Burbank City Center and Glendale submarkets. Absorption levels during 2002 increased to nearly 400,000 square feet during 2002 and exceeded 300,000 through 2003. Absorption increased by 50 percent from 305,375 in 2003 to 458,212 for year-end 2004 and 473,572 square feet during 2005. The year-end 2006 absorption level of over one million square feet exceeds any prior year shown in the analysis. The Tri-City/East Valley market experienced negative absorption during 2007, the first negative figures reported since year-end 2001. Absorption has continued to be “negative” during 2008 and 2009 as well as ytd 2010 in the Tri-City market.

The East Valley market absorption levels have “paralleled” the Tri-City market during this timeframe with negative absorption levels of 451,992 square feet and 615,955 square feet during year-end 2008 and year-end 2009, respectively. Through third quarter 2010, absorption in the East Valley market also worsened with an additional 615,955 square feet of negative absorption. As noted under the Los Angeles County office market discussion, the negative absorption levels during 2009 are the most significant of any single year since at least 1992. On a county-wide basis these absorption levels coincided with low levels of construction, which mitigated to a degree the impact on vacancy increases. The Tri-City market, however, has experienced more significant amounts of new construction, including The Pointe (approximately 480,000 square feet), Burbank Empire Center approximately 360,000 square feet) and Glendale North/207 Goode (approximately 187,000 square feet). Completion of these new developments coincided with the recession, exacerbating the impact on vacancy rates.

Pasadena has maintained a stable absorption and vacancy profile over the past several years, while the Glendale market has fluctuated more significantly from year-to-year. The charts below summarize the historical absorption performance for the most Tri-Cities/East Valley submarkets over the past 18.75 years. Pasadena has experienced negative absorption levels over the past 3.75 years, including negative absorption of about 300,000 square feet during the first third quarters of 2010. The Pasadena market had experienced vacancy rates in the “single digits” for 11 of the past 13 years prior to ytd 2010. This market has historically been favorably impacted by limited new development in conjunction with a strong corporate tenant base, including Parsons Engineering, Avery Dennison, Western Asset, East West Bank, Kaiser, and Jacobs Engineering. The recent increase in vacancy and negative absorption is attributable in part to the loss of Indymac Bank and Countrywide, which had a substantial presence in this market. We note that several significant “holes” were anticipated to occur in this market over the near term, but recent activity indicates the negative trends may be softened somewhat. A new bank, One West, has absorbed some of the Indymac space and loans, and Worley Parsons had been expected to absorb a significant former Countrywide premises in 155 North Lake. As noted previously however, this requirement has been put on “hold” and Worley Parsons has instead been negotiating renewals in its existing buildings. Kaiser was recently in the market for roughly 100,000 square feet currently leased from Parson in their headquarters property, but has announced its intention to renew and remain in Pasadena. As shown in the charts below, Burbank City Center (which includes Media North) has experienced the highest average annual absorption levels during the past 18.5 years, with approximately 85,000 square feet. Glendale has more recently experienced steep levels of negative absorption during year-end 2008 (282,627 SF), year-end 2009 (162,814 SF), and through third quarter 2010 (370,949 SF) in comparison to the overall Tri-City/East Valley market due to several significant tenants in Glendale buildings who have downsized or vacated over the past several years. Excluding the Media District and Universal/Studio City, which are “driven” primarily by the entertainment industry, all the Tri-City/East Valley submarkets have experienced negative absorption in 2008, 2009 and ytd 2010. None of the submarkets have a cumulative positive absorption level since 2008.

During periods of strong market activity, absorption in certain submarkets has been severely constrained by the absence of available space. The Burbank Media District is an example, as well as Universal City.

With single-digit vacancy levels in effect over the five-year period 1996 through 2000, the most significant levels of absorption in the Tri-City market have occurred as the market responded to new construction. Three new Class A office developments were delivered to the Glendale market from 1998 through 2000, and this new supply benefited from pent-up demand following several years of no new construction and tighter market conditions. The historic absorption levels in the Media District and in the Universal/Studio City submarkets have been impacted to a degree by the limited supply. Historically high occupancy levels in these submarkets in conjunction with limited or no new development has resulted in minimal “net” absorption. The absorption levels have been negative for the market since year-end 2007 through third quarter 2010, however, as shown below.

Pasadena has experienced the most significant negative absorption during the past 2.75 years, with negative 708,586 square feet during this timeframe. This figure was partly attributable to the takeover of IndyMac Bank by federal regulators. IndyMac had significant premises in Pasadena, including 180,000 square feet at Crown City Center (888 E Walnut Street) and 170,000 square feet at Pasadena Corporate Park in East Pasadena (3453-3475 East Foothill). As noted above, however, some of this space has been absorbed by One West Bank. The Burbank Media District submarket has historically exhibited “supply-induced demand” characteristics, with significant positive absorption levels following the completion of new supply. Since the market has been so “tight”, the only periods of “meaningful” absorption levels have followed new developments, most recently with the completion of the Pinnacle Phase I and II in 2002 and 2005, respectively. The 2009 completion of the Pointe and Burbank Empire Center has not led to increased “supply-induced” demand to date, however, due to the severe recessionary environment in effect as of the completion date for these projects.

RENTAL GROWTH TRENDS

The Tri-City/East Valley markets experienced positive absorption levels for five consecutive years 1996 through 2000, averaging 440,000 square feet annually over this period. Following one year of negative absorption (2001), the market experienced four more years of positive absorption from 2002 through 2005, and the year-to-date 2006 positive absorption of annualized 1,095,737 square feet has been greater than any full year period since prior to 1992. The Glendale market experienced significant negative absorption during 2001, 2003, and 2005, resulting in increased vacancy rates. Glendale vacancy trended downward during 2006 and 2007, however this trend has reversed course sharply through first quarter 2010 with direct vacancy increasing by almost 10 full percentage points over year-end 2007 figures to 21.7 percent. A new 180,000 square-foot office property (207 Goode) completed (in 2009) development on a “spec” basis in this market, which contributed to further increasing vacancy in this submarket. The Tri-City/East Valley markets averaged about 170,000 square feet in annual absorption over the last 18.75 years (year-end 1992 through third quarter 2010). During 2006, absorption levels were positive for all submarkets, with the exception of the Universal City/Studio City submarket. With the steady positive absorption levels, vacancy rates declined, placing increasing upward pressure on rental rates; however,

as of year-end 2007 and continuing through year-end 2009 absorption levels were all negative with the exception of Burbank-Media District. Through third quarter 2010, all submarkets continued to experience negative absorption figures exclusive of Burbank City Center. Vacancy rates have accordingly increased with the lack of positive absorption in the market. With the recent trend of negative absorption, the rental rate increases will logically be expected to slow and turn negative. Year-end 2008 showed the first negative change in rental rates since 2003, decreasing by negative 5.6 percent over fourth quarter 2007 numbers. As shown in the chart below, the weighted average asking rental rate for available space in the Tri-Cities markets has increased at a compound annual rate of 4.3 percent from year-end 1996 through 3rd quarter 2010.

The chart on the accompanying page shows the direct weighted average rents for the primary three submarkets within the Tri-Cities market: Pasadena, Burbank Media District, and Glendale. The data covers the prior 14.75-year history from year-end 1996 through third quarter 2010. As shown below, direct weighted average rents (annually) achieved the greatest year over year gains during year-end 2007 with Pasadena and Glendale realizing the most significant increases at 28.8 percent ($44.16 per-square-foot) and 11.0 percent ($33.96 per-square-foot), respectively. Direct rents in Pasadena retreated sharply through year-end 2009; declining by 41.1 percent to $32.40 per-square-foot, annually. Through third quarter 2010, annual asking rates in the Tri-Cities have remained somewhat flat to slightly increasing in comparison to year-end 2009 figures. The chart below details the direct weighted rents for the three submarkets from 1996 through second quarter 2010. The apparent increase in rental rates in 2009 and ytd 2010 is not an accurate representation of the actual trends in the market. The data is based on the weighted average quoted rental rate for available space. There have been three new Class A buildings completed in these markets which are vacant. These buildings represent a disproportionate percentage of the total available space, and, as new Class A buildings, currently have significantly higher quoted rental rates.

CONCLUSIONS

The Tri-City office market is recognized as a desirable location within the Los Angeles area. The Tri-Cities have attracted a diverse tenant base, and the prospects for this market remain favorable over the long term.

Consistently outperforming the overall Los Angeles County area, the Tri-City office markets have averaged over 170,000 square feet of net absorption between 1992 and third quarter 2010. Due to historical positive net absorption, the Tri-City market had experienced steadily declining vacancy rates, which in turn place upward pressure on rental rates. As a result of the impact of the economic recession, between year-end 2007 to present, net absorption has been negative, driving vacancy rates significantly higher. Although quoted rental rates on average in the Tri-Cities markets increased at a compound annual rate of 4.3 percent from year-end 1996 through 2009, achieved rates have actually declined with decreased demand and increase vacancy.

Although the recession has ended with several consecutive quarters of economic growth, the impact on the office market has been delayed, and negative absorption levels have continued with the absence of meaningful employment growth. The timing for recovery and the pace of recovery is not yet clear, and employment growth, which is the key driver or demand for office space, typically follows growth in employment.

COMMENTS As discussed under Extraordinary Assumption 2, it is our understanding that many of the mechanical systems in the building are “original” from the 1964 construction date. The building’s systems may need some significant capital investment for upgrades and/or replacement. Prior to closing a sale or a loan involving the property it is very likely that a prudent buyer would retain a qualified firm to conduct an inspection of the property and identify items of deferred maintenance and code issues such as handicap/ADA requirements. Any identified costs would likely result in an adjustment to the purchase price/value of the property. We have not made any specific capital deductions, since there is no engineering or property survey available nor has any been conducted to our knowledge. We recommend the client have a survey of the building conducted prior to finalizing any decisions involving the property.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not made, nor are we qualified by training to make, a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. Based on our limited knowledge of ADA regulations, it appears that the subject improvements do not comply with the provisions for barrier-free access.

It is possible that a compliance survey and a detailed analysis of the requirements of the ADA could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the property. We reserve the right to amend this value conclusion should evidence of non-compliance become available.

REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS

CURRENT PROPERTY TAXES

The subject property is located within the City of Pasadena, and the County of Los Angeles, in the State of California and is taxed by these governing bodies. Under the provisions of Article XIIIA of the California Tax and Revenue Code, properties are assessed on their market value as of March 1, 1975, the base year lien date. This value may be increased only two percent per year until the property is sold, substantial new construction occurs, or the property’s use changes significantly. In such cases, the property may be reassessed to its market value.

The 2010-11 fiscal year is the most recent year for which assessed valuation and property information is available. The current assessed value and taxes for the subject property are shown below.

Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 5723-027-034 (office building) and 5723-027-035 (parking lot)

Tax Area: 7456

There are three categories of charges on a typical property tax bill: 1) general tax levy, 2) voted indebtedness, and 3) direct assessments.

The general tax levy (ad valorem) is based on one percent of the assessed value of land, improvements and fixtures. An assessment is only triggered when there is a transfer of ownership or a significant renovation, an ownership name change does not apply. The assessment is based on the property’s market value at the time of acquisition. Increases to assessed values are limited to an annual inflation factor of no more than two percent.

Voted indebtedness includes general obligation bonds that appear every year on the tax bill until the bonds are paid off (usually between 10 to 30 years). Any jurisdiction may levy a tax rate in excess of the general tax levy (1 percent) in order to produce revenues in an amount needed to make annual payments for the interest and principal on any bonded indebtedness, but must be voter approved. Voted indebtedness changes annually depending upon the principal and interest remaining on the existing bonds and any new bonds approved by voters.

Direct/special assessments are fixed charges, unlike the general tax levy (which can vary depending on the assessed value) and voted indebtedness (which can vary depending on the principal and interest on existing bonds and any new bonds). Examples of direct assessments can be weed removal, landscape, flood control, refuse, sewer, sidewalk repair, and/or lighting assessments.

The table below presents these categories of the subject property’s tax bill.

ZONING CONCLUSIONS

Based on our review of the applicable provisions of the City of Pasadena Zoning Code, and our examination of the subject improvements, it appears the subject property represents a legal non-conforming use, as it exceeds current height limits.

Detailed zoning studies are typically performed by a zoning or land use expert, including attorneys, land use planners, or architects. The depth of our study correlates directly with the scope of this assignment, and it considers all issues that have been discovered through our due diligence, and which are pertinent. We note that this appraisal is not intended to be a detailed determination of compliance, as that determination is beyond the scope of this real estate appraisal assignment, as agreed to with the client.

We know of no deed restrictions, private or public, that further limit the subject property’s use. The research required to determine whether or not such restrictions exist, however, is beyond the scope of this appraisal assignment. Deed restrictions are a legal matter and only a title examination by an attorney or Title Company can usually uncover such restrictive covenants. Thus, we recommend a title search to determine if any such restrictions do exist.

301 COLORADO HIGHEST AND BEST USE 89

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

DEFINITION OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE

According to The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fourth Edition (2002), a publication of the Appraisal Institute, the highest and best use is defined as: “The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum profitability.” For the subject property, the highest and best use is typically the use, which is permitted by zoning, the specific plan, the general plan and/or any private deed restrictions.

The determination of highest and best use includes an analysis of the subject property as vacant. The definition of the as vacant analysis is as follows: “Highest and Best Use of land or a site as vacant – Among all reasonable, alternative uses, the use that yields the highest present land value, after payments are made for labor, capital, and coordination. The use of a property is based on the assumption that the parcel of land is vacant or can be made vacant by demolishing any improvements.” (Ibid., Page 171).

HIGHEST AND BEST USE CRITERIA

The highest and best use analysis generally involves consideration of the subject site under two scenarios: as though vacant land and as presently improved. The highest and best use of the underlying land may differ from that of the property as improved if the improvements do not constitute an appropriate use. The existing use, however, should be continued until the value of the land, less the cost to demolish the existing improvements, exceeds the value of the property as currently improved.

We have evaluated the site’s highest and best use both as currently improved and as if vacant. In both cases, the property’s highest and best use must meet four criteria. That use must be (1) legally permissible, (2) physically possible, (3) financially feasible, and (4) maximally productive.

LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE

According to the subject’s current zoning, the site may legally be improved with structures that accommodate office, retail, residential and general commercial uses. Aside from the site’s zoning and regulations, we are not aware of any legal restrictions that limit the potential uses of the subject.

PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE

The site’s size, soil, topography, etc. do not physically limit its use. The subject site is of adequate shape and size to accommodate a range of development types

FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY AND MAXIMAL PRODUCTIVITY

After analyzing the physically possible and legally permissible uses of the property, the highest and best use must be considered in light of financial feasibility and maximum productivity. For a potential use to be seriously considered, it must have the potential to provide a sufficient return to attract investment capital over alternative

forms of investment. A positive net income or acceptable rate of return would indicate that a use is financially feasible.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF SITE AS THOUGH VACANT

The subject office parcel is zoned PD-31 by the City of Pasadena, as discussed under the prior Zoning section. The subject office and parking use is permitted under the current zoning, although the subject exceeds the current height limitations. The Tri-city market in which the subject is located is currently experiencing the highest vacancy rates in approximately 20 years, and new office development is not economically feasible. We concluded the highest and best use for the subject as if vacant is to hold the property vacant until market conditions support new development (office) on the property.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF PROPERTY AS IMPROVED

According to the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, highest and best use of the property as improved is defined as: The use that should be made of a property as it exists. An existing property should be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total market value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one.

It is our opinion that the existing building adds considerable value to the site as if currently vacant, and the existing leases encumbering the subject property would dictate a continuation of the current use. Therefore, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject property as improved is as its current use.

301 COLORADO VALUATION PROCESS 91

VALUATION PROCESS

METHODOLOGY

There are three generally accepted approaches available in developing an opinion of value: the Cost, Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization approaches. We have considered each in this appraisal to develop an opinion of the market value of the subject property. In appraisal practice, an approach to value is included or eliminated based on its applicability to the property type being valued and the quality of information available. The reliability of each approach is dependent upon the availability and comparability of the market data uncovered as well as the motivation and thinking of purchasers in the market for a property such as the subject. Each approach is discussed below, and applicability to the subject property is briefly addressed in the following summary.

Land Value

Developing an opinion of land value is typically accomplished via the Sales Comparison Approach by analyzing recent sales transactions of sites of comparable zoning and utility adjusted for differences which exist between the comparables and the subject. Valuation is typically accomplished using a unit of comparison such as price per square foot of land, price per acre, price per unit, or price per square foot of potential building area. Adjustments are applied to the unit of comparison from an analysis of comparable sales, and the adjusted unit of comparison is then used to derive a value for the subject site.

Cost Approach

The Cost Approach is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the subject than the cost to produce a substitute property with equivalent utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements which represent the highest and best use of the land; or when relatively unique or specialized improvements are located on the site, for which there exist few improved sales or leases of comparable properties.

In the Cost Approach, the appraiser forms an opinion of the cost of all improvements, depreciating them to reflect any value loss from physical, functional and external causes. Land value, entrepreneurial profit and depreciated improvement costs are then added resulting in a value estimate for the subject property.

Sales Comparison Approach

The Sales Comparison Approach utilizes sales of comparable properties, adjusted for differences, to indicate a value for the subject property. Valuation is typically accomplished using a unit of comparison such as price per square foot of building area, effective gross income multiplier or net income multiplier. Adjustments are applied to the unit of comparison from an analysis of comparable sales, and the adjusted unit of comparison is then used to derive a value for the subject property.

Income Capitalization Approach

This approach first determines the income-producing capacity of a property by utilizing contract rents on leases in place and by estimating market rent from rental activity at competing properties. Deductions then are made for vacancy and collection loss and operating expenses. The resulting net operating income is capitalized at an overall capitalization rate to derive an opinion of value. The capitalization rate represents the relationship between net operating income and value.

VALUATION & ADVISORY

CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD®


LOGO

 

301 COLORADO VALUATION PROCESS 92

Related to the Direct Capitalization Method is the Discounted Cash Flow Method. In this method, periodic cash flows (which consist of net operating income less capital costs) and a reversionary value are developed and discounted to a present value using an internal rate of return that is determined by analyzing current investor yield requirements for similar investments.

The reliability of the Income Capitalization Approach depends upon whether investors actively purchase the subject property type for income potential, as well as the quality and quantity of available income and expense data from comparable investments.

SUMMARY

This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that the Sales and Income Approaches are the most relevant. New construction is not economically feasible in the current environment as market rents in the Pasadena submarket would not support the development of a major office or commercial building. In addition, estimating depreciation for a property of the subject’s age (built in 1964) will not result in a reliable indication. We have accordingly not included a Cost Approach.

The valuation process is concluded by analyzing each approach to value used in the appraisal. When more than one approach is used, each approach is judged based on its applicability, reliability, and the quantity and quality of its data. A final value opinion is chosen that either corresponds to one of the approaches to value, or is a correlation of all the approaches used in the appraisal.

301 COLORADO SALES COMPARISON APPROACH 93

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

METHODOLOGY

In the Sales Comparison Approach, we estimated the value of the subject by comparing it with similar, recently sold properties in the surrounding or competing area. Inherent in this approach is the principle of substitution, which holds that when a property is replaceable in the market, its value tends to be set at the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute property, assuming that no costly delay is encountered in making the substitution.

By analyzing sales that qualify as arms-length transactions between willing and knowledgeable buyers and sellers, we can identify value and price trends. The properties must be comparable to the subject in physical, locational, and economic characteristics. The basic steps of this approach are:

1. Research recent, relevant property sales and current offerings throughout the competitive area;

2. Select and analyze those properties considered most similar to the subject, giving consideration to the time of sale, any change in economic conditions which may have occurred since the date of sale, and other physical, functional or locational factors;

3. Reducing the sales price to common units of comparison, such as price per square foot of building area;

4. Make appropriate adjustments between the comparable properties and the property appraised;

5. Identify sales which include favorable financing and calculate the cash equivalent price;

6. Interpret the adjusted sales data and draw a logical value conclusion.

The most widely used and market-oriented units of comparison for office buildings are the sales price per square foot of building area. All comparable sales have been analyzed on this basis. The subject consists of an average Class B office building located in the Pasadena submarket, within the larger Los Angeles North market area. As of the date of value, the subject is 95.6 percent leased.

There has been fairly limited recent investment activity involving office properties of comparable size, location and occupancy.

Interviews with investment brokers and investors indicates that the capital markets are improving over the last few months, and there is an increased “appetite” for real estate investment. There is a scarcity of quality product on the market, however, and brokers are reporting there is an increase in bids, more “aggressive pricing”, and lower returns in comparison to approximately October, 2009. We note that lenders appear to also be more “aggressive” than during the period from October 2008 (or “post Lehman”) to October, 2009, with interest rates for commercial properties declining and LTV’s increasing. This activity does not appear to be “across the board”, however, and well-leased, well located commercial properties (industrial, apartments and office) are more in favor. The subject would be rated in this category. The market appears to be experiencing the end of the severe downturn in pricing that resulted from the recession and the initial phases of a more “liquid” marketplace. The current investment market shows signs of being “capital-driven” in advance of improvement in the underlying fundamentals (employment growth, absorption and rental growth).

301 COLORADO SALES COMPARISON APPROACH 97

Item I-1 consists of the September 2010 sale of Grand Avenue Courtyard, a 12-story Class A office building located in the Los Angeles South market area. The building has a street address of 1960 East Grand Avenue in the City of El Segundo, positioned along the south side of Grand Avenue, west of Continental Boulevard and east of Sepulveda Boulevard. The property is comprised of 255,063 square feet situated on a 5.38-acre pad resulting in a FAR of about 1.1:1. The project includes 976 spaces in surface and structured parking for an overall ratio of approximately 3.8 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet. Amenities at the property include a café and a fitness center.

The asset was marketed for sale by Tishman Properties, and sold to TA Associates for $50.65 million, or approximately $199 per-square-foot. The overall capitalization rate at this pricing based on $14.43 per-square-foot in “in place” NOI and 87 percent occupancy is about 7.3 percent. Major tenants in the building include Saatchi & Saatchi North America (76,633 SF), Epson Electronics America, Inc. (14,106 SF), and Air New Zealand (13,893 SF). The asset will experience cumulative rollover exposure of 30.4 percent through year-end 2012 and 32.6 percent exposure during 2014.

Item I-2 consists of the October 2010 sale of 117 E. Colorado Boulevard, a 6-story Class B office building located in the Old Town district of Pasadena. The building was originally constructed in 1904 and has a historical designation. The property is comprised of 81,194 square feet situated on a 0.3-acre parcel resulting in a FAR of about 5.55:1. The project includes 246 spaces in a parking garage for an overall ratio of approximately 2.9 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet. The office building has a prominent location at the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Arroyo Parkway, about one-quarter mile west of the subject.

The asset was sold by Parson Corporation, along with its companion building, 50 N. Raymond Avenue, a 2,806 square foot retail building, in an off-market transaction. Both properties were sold to Urdang, a Pennsylvania based pension fund advisor for $26.3 million, or approximately $313.10 per-square-foot. The allocated pricing to the office building was reported as $25,379,014, or $312.57 per-square-foot. The occupancy was reported as 93 percent, but no capitalization information was disclosed.

Item I-3 summarizes the current contract of the office development commonly identified as Sherman Plaza located in the City of Van Nuys, just north of Sherman Oaks. The project is situated just east of Interstate 405, the primary north-south freeway artery for the valley and west Los Angeles, and just west of Sepulveda Boulevard, the primary north-south surface road through the central portion of the San Fernando Valley. The office project consists of two buildings totaling 273,618 square feet, with an aggregate occupancy level of approximately 94 percent. The buildings were developed in 1983 and 1988. Parking for the property is provided in surface parking surrounding the two buildings at a parking ratio 3.5 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet.

The asset is current under contract to a local investor for $50,000,000 or approximately $183 per-square-foot. The overall capitalization rate at this pricing is about 8.2% based on 94 percent occupancy and NOI at time of sale. The property was marketed (and under contract) with an assumable loan having an interest rate of 5.945 percent. The note is for 10 years while the amortization period is 30 years, with the principal payment beginning August 1, 2011.

Item I-4 is the August 2009 sale of a three-story average quality office building located in the Warner Center submarket of Woodland Hills. The building has a street address of 5959 Topanga Canyon Boulevard. The property contains 61,087 rentable square feet of office space, and has a parking ratio of 3.4/1,000 SF. The building was approximately 93 percent occupied at time of sale.

The asset was previously marketed at an asking price of $15,250,000, or about $250 per-square-foot. The reported sales price was approximately $11,900,000, or $195 per-square-foot. The “in place” capitalization rate at this pricing is 8.7 percent. There is $9.4 million in assumable financing at a 5.74 percent interest rate. The broker

301 COLORADO SALES COMPARISON APPROACH 98

indicated the sale would have been much more difficult to complete if there was not assumable debt. This property is somewhat similar in terms of quality. The subject has a lower occupancy level, however, and this property also sold with favorable, assumable debt.

Item I-5 is the ongoing marketing effort and reported prior contract price for Buena Vista Plaza, a seven-story office building located in the City of Burbank, CA. The property was developed in 1991 and later renovated in 2004. The building is situated on the northeast corner of West Olive Avenue and Buena Vista Street and has a street address of 2411 West Olive Avenue. The building contains 115,130 square feet and is 100 percent leased to the Walt Disney Company (Disney) with three staggered lease expirations (December of 2010, 2013, and 2014). Disney has fully occupied the property since the project’s completion date of 1991. Parking for the property is provided in 397 spaces within a four-level subterranean parking structure for a parking ratio of about 3.5 per 1,000.

This marketing effort resulted in 12 initial offers for purchase including a final round of offers with five institutional and pension fund buyers. The ownership selected an institutional buyer at a contract price of approximately $32 million, or about $278 per-square-foot. The overall capitalization rate at $32 million is approximately 9.3 percent based on proforma income at 100 percent occupancy by Disney (and ignoring the near-term expiration of one of the Disney leases). The relatively high capitalization rate reflects the greater risk inherent in the near-term rollover exposure for the property. As noted above the Disney occupancy has “staggered” lease expirations beginning year-end 2010 (32,894 square feet expiring), with the rest of the Disney leases expiring at year-end 2013 (32,894 square feet) and year-end 2014 (49,342 square feet). The lease rates currently range from $34.80 to $39.55 per-square-foot annually, FSG.

The asset has been offered for sale with assumable financing. The assumable note consists of a $22 million loan at an interest rate of 5.324 percent, interest only through July 2010, then amortizing on a 30-year schedule. The maturity date is August 1, 2015.

It is our understanding the contracted sale did not move forward and ownership has negotiated a lease extension for the component of the Disney lease with the 12/2010 expiration (floors one and two) and there is a pending agreement (but not executed lease). The lease extension is for five years at an initial rent of $0.90 per-square-foot monthly for the first year (incorporates free rent), increasing to $3.05 during the second year, with increases each year subsequently. With the extension of the near-term Disney lease, ownership is now targeting a price of $33.5 to $34.0 million, or about $293 per-square-foot based on the mid-point of this range. The first-year capitalization rate at this pricing is 7.6 percent, with the return on NOI increasing to 9.6 percent by year three. The subsequent Disney leases begin to expire in year two, however, so the income and occupancy is not considered particularly stable. The near-term expiration of the building’s only tenant is problematic and impacts risk and pricing.

Item I-6 is the September 2009 sale involving a Class A office building and an adjacent historic office building as well as a small commercial building located at the prime intersection of Lake Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. The property is known by the address of the 11-story office tower, Two North Lake. The adjacent historic Lieberg building is three stories in height. The pertinent property characteristics are as follows:

The property also includes a nine-level parking structure with 669 spaces.

The property was approximately 89 percent leased to multiple tenants including Bank of America (20,124 SF expiring 4/2015) TIAA-CREF (9,086 SF expiring 2/2011), Allstate Insurance (10,986 SF expiring 4/2010), and PNC Bank (13,117 SF expiring 9/2010). The majority of the tenants have fairly “modest” credit. The property has fairly extensive near-term rollover, with 46 percent of the property expiring in the first three years. The property was marketed for sale and was “under contract” at $53.5 million, but the buyer “re-traded” the price to $52.0 million prior to close.

Although the originally anticipated pricing was in excess of $60 million, the leasing and investment markets deteriorated over the course of the marketing period, and the buyer (offshore) purchased the property for $52,000,000, or approximately $231 per-square-foot. The overall cap rate at this pricing is approximately 8.0 percent based on adjusted taxes and 89 percent occupancy.

ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS

Summary of the Data

The data included four closed sales, a current contract, and a failed contract/marketing effort. The properties range in size from 61,087 square feet to 273,618 square feet, which brackets the subject’s rentable area of 117,336 square feet. The subject property is situated in the Pasadena submarket within the larger Los Angeles North/Tri-Cities market area. The comparable properties are located in the markets of Los Angeles North (items I-2 through I-6), and South Bay Los Angeles (item I-1).

The per-square-foot prices (rounded) range from $183 to $313, with an average of $220 per-square-foot. The low end of the range corresponds to the current contract of a good quality property located in an inferior location (Item I-3). The upper end of the range corresponds to the sale of an historic property within Old Town Pasadena (I-2). The occupancy levels at sale range from 87 percent to fully leased, which compares with the subject occupancy level of 96 percent. The properties were developed during the period from 1904 to 1991, which brackets the subject’s completion date of 1964.

The overall rate indications for the data were in a range from 7.3 percent to 8.7 percent, with an average capitalization rate of approximately 8.0 percent.

ADJUSTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The chart on a subsequent page summarizes the adjustments we estimated for the comparable data relative to the subject property. The adjustments we considered are summarized on the accompanying exhibit and discussed below.

Status/Conditions of Sale – Five of the data items involved closed sales and four were widely marketed, which require no adjustment for status. Item I-5 is a failed contract, and the seller is “redoing” the lease which expires in the near term. We estimated a 5 percent negative adjustment for status for this item.

Financing – Buena Vista Plaza (Item I-5) is being marketed with assumable financing. The assumable note consists of a $22 million loan at an interest rate of 5.324 percent, interest only through July 2010, then amortizing on a 30-year schedule. Item I-4 was sold with existing assumable financing and Item I-3 was marketed (and under contract) with an assumable loan with an interest rate of 5.945 percent. The note is for 10 years while the amortization period is 30 years, with the principal payment beginning August 1, 2011. The impact of assumable financing is attributable to both the existence of the note as well as the specific terms, and assumable financing in the current market can enhance the “liquidity” of the property. We estimated a 5.0 percent negative adjustment to consider the assumable debt.

301 COLORADO SALES COMPARISON APPROACH 101

Market Conditions – During 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009, loan-to-value ratios decreased, the cost of debt increased, and debt coverage ratios increased. The result was a decrease in the number of transactions and a decline in pricing. Virtually all investment sales professionals and acquisition personnel report that, depending upon the caliber, location, and leasing profile of an office asset, values have in general declined from 25 to 40 percent in the Los Angeles market over approximately the past three years. It is evident that relative to the deal volume during 2005 to early 2007, transaction volume has declined substantially, capitalization rates have moved upward (although there are fewer closed transactions from which to quantify that movement), and overall pricing declines are in effect. We note that over the course of 2010 the downward trend appears to have abated and reversed as capital markets have “loosened”. Investors are reporting increasing interest in acquiring well-leased properties in top tier locations. In light of the dynamic, changing market conditions we focused our analysis on the most recent data available data. We applied modest upward increases to data which occurred prior to 4th quarter, 2009.

Occupancy and Rollover Profile - The investment market evaluates an asset of this category based on the current income level, the near-term opportunity to increase cash flow with new leasing at potentially higher rents, and the risk inherent in maintaining current income levels as tenant leases expire. The anticipated costs and risk associated with new and renewal leasing, including costs for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and vacancy loss, may impact the cash flow and property value. If the current contract rental levels are either substantially above or below the buyer’s estimate of market rent, the lease expiration schedule can represent either an erosion of the cash flow, or upside in comparison to current rental income.

We quantified an appropriate adjustment for occupancy for each of the data items based on the difference in occupancy between the subject and the data, with the percentage difference applied to tenant improvements and commissions which are appropriate for vacant space. We also included a deduction of an average of 12 months rent for each square-foot difference (based on percentage) to consider lost rental during lease-up. We also applied a 20 percent “risk” premium to the difference in occupancy to consider profit as well as a component of risk. The adjustments are summarized on the accompanying exhibit, and were applied to the subtotal indications of adjusted prices, as shown on the subsequent adjustment chart.

ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

We estimated qualitative adjustments (superior, inferior, similar) as shown on the subsequent chart.

Location and Environs – The comparable data are located in the subject’s Tri-Cities market area (I-2, I-5 and I-6), as well as the South Bay market area (I-1), central San Fernando Valley (I-3) and west San Fernando Valley (I-4). Investors in these markets are also interested in the subject’s market and a property of the subject’s leasing profile and quality. The subject location is most similar to I-2, I-5 and I-6, superior to I-1, I-3, and I-4, and inferior in terms of specific location to I-2. We estimated quantitative adjustments for the data based primarily on achievable rental rates in the relevant markets, as shown on the accompanying exhibit.

Improvement Quality, Age, and Condition – The subject was developed in 1964. The comparable properties were constructed during the period from 1904 through 1991, which brackets the subject’s date of development.

OCCUPANCY AND NET OPERATING INCOME PER-SQUARE-FOOT

The summary chart includes a column showing the first-year “as is” net operating income per-square-foot for the comparable data and the subject property. Since the income-generating potential for an office property has a direct relationship to the value of the asset, a comparison of the net income on a per-square-foot basis and the corresponding price paid per-square-foot is particularly relevant for this category of asset.

As shown in the previous summary chart, the subject’s projected first year net operating income is $16.99 per-square-foot during the first year. The comparable data have NOI ranging from $14.43 to $22.40 per-square-foot. The subject NOI figure of $16.99 is near the middle of the range for the comparable data. The following chart summarizes, in ascending order to net income per-square-foot, the data with the corresponding time-adjusted per-square-foot pricing. The data typically demonstrates a pattern of increasing prices in somewhat proportion to the increase in NOI levels. We considered this chart in the value conclusion by Sales Comparison.

CONCLUSIONS

The per-square-foot pricing for an office building depends upon a number of factors, including the following:

1) The specific submarket location and the characteristics of the market;

2) The quality of the project in terms of construction and design;

3) The occupancy level at sale and the quality of the tenant base;

4) The relationship of contract rents at sale and the underlying credit of the leases if rents are over-market;

5) The rollover pattern for the existing tenant base and the anticipated costs and risks associated with lease expirations

6) The total net income on a per-square-foot basis, including consideration of parking and other sources contributing the income profile of the building.

The accompanying exhibit summarizes the adjustments we estimated to the comparable data. The per-square-foot indications range from $183 to $314, with an average of $237 per-square-foot. The low end of the range corresponds to a good quality property in an inferior location (I-3). The high end of the range corresponds to the allocated pricing for an historic Old Town property with a substantial retail component (I-2). The most similar property is I-6, with an adjusted price of $216 per-square-foot, and the data supports a conclusion generally in this range. We considered the data and the adjustments, and estimated a per-square-foot value of approximately $220 per-square-foot for the subject by Sales Comparison:

301 COLORADO INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 108

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH

METHODOLOGY

The Income Capitalization Approach is a method of converting the anticipated economic benefits of owning property into a value through the capitalization process. The principle of “anticipation” underlies this approach in that investors recognize the relationship between an asset’s income and its value. In order to value the anticipated economic benefits of a particular property, potential income and expenses must be projected, and the most appropriate capitalization method must be selected.

The two most common methods of converting net income into value are Direct Capitalization and Discounted Cash Flow. In direct capitalization, net operating income is divided by an overall capitalization rate to indicate an opinion of market value. In the discounted cash flow method, anticipated future cash flows and a reversionary value are discounted to an opinion of net present value at a chosen yield rate (internal rate of return).

In our opinion both the direct capitalization and the discounted cash flow methods are appropriate for estimating the value of the subject property. We accordingly have used both methods within the Income Approach.

POTENTIAL GROSS INCOME

As discussed under Extraordinary Assumptions, the subject property has been managed and leased for many years by personnel employed by entities related to the ownership. A rent roll, leases, and the accounting records for the property were provided for our review. Based on our review of these available materials and conversations with the management, we concluded the rentable areas for the tenants and the building provided on the rent roll and/or in the leases may not represent the actual rentable area using typical measurement standards applied by other landlords and their tenants in this marketplace. The “norm” for calculating rentable areas are set forth in standards identified by “BOMA”, which typically include (generically) the area within the building walls, excluding floor penetrations (such as stairwells and elevators). The rentable area for a particular tenant’s suite will consist of the actual area inside the suite plus an allocation (“load factor”) of the building’s common areas, including lobbies, corridors and restrooms (this is a simplistic characterization and there are exceptions and additional permissible add-ons). Based on our review of available information, the rent roll provided for our review may not represent measurements consistent with the “market”.

We have relied on the areas set forth in the subject rent roll as the basis for the rentable area utilized in this appraisal. Since rentable square feet is the typical “metric” used to compare and to value office properties both on a rental and a sales comparison basis, any significant differences in the area utilized for the subject and the actual rentable area based on BOMA standards will have a corresponding impact on the value conclusion for the property. We recommend the client retain a qualified firm to measure and calculate the rentable areas for the subject prior to finalizing any decisions involving this asset.

Occupancy Profile

We reviewed tenant leases and a rent roll provided by the property management covering the terms of the leases for the subject tenants. The tenant exhibits on the accompanying pages were prepared by Cushman & Wakefield from the information provided for our review. The exhibits include a rent roll, stacking plan, tenant overview, major tenant summary, and a lease expiration summary (“Rollover Chart”).

The subject, commonly identified as 301 Colorado, consists of a 9-story office building developed in 1964. Excluding storage space, the subject property contains 117,336 rentable square feet on an “as leased” basis.

TENANT OVERVIEW

The lease documents we reviewed indicate a structure consistent with “Full Service Gross” (“FSG”) leases, in which the tenants pay a prorata share of increases above a base year expense levels. The management was not able to provide base year expense figures for the tenants, although the rent roll includes escalation amounts (expressed as a negative number) for the tenants (totaling approximately $55,000 annually based on the March, 2010 rent roll). The operating statements we reviewed did not include a breakout of recovery income or storage income (rent, recoveries and storage appear to be grouped under rental income). The standard lease structure in the market is FSG. We have assumed all future leases will be structured on a FSG basis, and have modeled the existing office leases with a current (first year of projected expenses) base year.

As shown on the following “Tenant Overview” exhibit, the current annual per-square-foot rental rates range from $18.10 to $46.62, with an overall weighted average rent of $30.38 per-square-foot for office space. Office tenants lease 102,578 square feet of the 112,168 rentable square feet, when considered without the bank space of 9,590 square feet, with tenant suites ranging in size from 318 square feet to 14,397 square feet (Hahn & Hahn).

Citigroup, the ground floor bank tenant, occupies the entire ground floor and is currently paying an annual rent of $46.62 per-square-foot (NNN).

The combined weighted average rent at the subject property excluding storage and management office area is $28.89 per-square-foot, annually.

Totals 33 4,940,357 17.9% $30.12-$30.90

The quoted rental rates for available space are generally above the achieved rental rates. The nation-wide recession along with high unemployment have resulted in lower rental rates, as well as increased vacancy over the past year. We considered the signed leases but also have considered the quoted rental rates in the market rent conclusions below.

The Rental & Occupancy survey covered 33 office properties totaling approximately 4.94± million rentable square feet. The direct occupancy level was 82.1 percent while the overall (including sublease space) occupancy level was 80.3 percent. Overall occupancy levels on a building-by-building basis range from (rounded) 20 to 100 percent. The buildings range in size from 42,666 to 281,882 square feet. The quoted annual rent per-square-foot for direct space (excluding NNN asking rates) ranges from $21.00 (R-31) to $34.20 (R-11) with an overall weighted average varying from $30.12 to $30.90 per-square-foot. When space is available the subject is most competitive with the Tier 2, Tier 3 and Other Buildings, which have lower quoted rents.

Typical comparable asking rents are structured on a full service gross (FSG) basis, with the tenants paying their pro rata share of expense reimbursements above base year costs. All leasing brokers we spoke with reported that rental rates have been declining throughout the Tri-Cities markets over approximately the past six months. The subject office leases are structured on a gross basis. The majority of the competitive market, however, (excluding Plaza Las Fuentes and Western Asset Plaza, located directly north and east of the subject, respectively, which are leased on a NNN basis) is leased on a full service gross basis (FSG). Based on the structure in this market, we have concluded at a FSG market rent for the subject.

Comparable Leasing Activity

The exhibit on the accompanying pages summarizes the terms of leases signed for space in a cross section of nine competitive properties in the subject’s immediate Pasadena submarket since fourth quarter 2009. The comparable properties are all situated within a two-mile radius of the subject. We note that the level of leasing activity in the Pasadena market has not been significant over the past six months, and there is fairly limited recent leasing data available for comparison.

The comparable lease chart includes detail of the tenant sizes, contract rental rates and adjustments, and concessions (including tenant improvements and free rent). While the structure of the leases in the market vary significantly in terms of expense reimbursement structure, tenant allowances and other concessions, the overall lease packages are fairly consistent based on the relationship between the relative appeal of the building and the discounted value of the lease to the landlord. “Raw” space, or suites that have not previously been improved represent a frequent exception, however, as the landlord must compete less economically in some cases in which second generation space can be used “as is” or re-demised at substantially reduced costs. The lease chart includes detail of the tenant sizes, contract rental rate and adjustments, and concessions (including tenant improvements, free rent, lease takeovers, or other considerations such as parking discounts). The “Effective Rent PSF” column shows the average annual rent over the term of the lease after deducting for free rent. The “Effective Rent Adjusted for TI’s” column represents the previous effective rental rate adjusted for tenant improvement allowances (not discounted) divided by the number of years in the lease term.

The accompanying exhibit provides an overview of comparable leasing activity in 13 Pasadena office buildings since fourth quarter 2009. Initial per-square-foot lease rates ranged from $23.40 to $30.96 per-square-foot annually, full service gross. Lease terms range from 12 to 120 months with an average typically in the range of three to five years. Leases normally include annual increases in the range of 3.0 to 4.0 percent. Rent abatement (when offered) has typically ranged from three to five months. Per-square-foot tenant improvement allowances varied from “paint and carpet” to $75.

Leases are generally structured on a full service gross (FSG) basis with tenants paying their pro rata share of expense reimbursements above base year costs. Leases within the subject property have historically been structured on a gross basis with tenants not paying any pro rata share of expenses.

The data provided an overview of leases for a broad cross section of the Pasadena office market, ranging from secondary and third tier properties. The longest lease term of ten years was executed in P-10, with an initial annual rent per-square-foot of $30.96 with approximately 3.0 percent annual increases. Item P-10 also involved the largest amount in tenant improvement allowances at $75.00 per-square-foot.

RETAIL RENT SURVEY

We conducted a survey of ground floor bank branch, retail and restaurant space in the area west of El Molino Avenue and east of Pasadena Avenue along Colorado Boulevard. In addition to the principal east-west roadway of Colorado Boulevard, the other available retail space can be found in the area south of Holly Street and north of Del Mar Boulevard along Arroyo Parkway, Raymond and Fair Oaks Avenues as well as Union and Green Streets.

The Pasadena area is generally recognized as a desirable commercial and retail market in Los Angeles County. The subject’s area enjoys close proximity to affluent residential communities including San Marino, as well the important commercial center of Old Town Pasadena. The area is also within two miles of the California Institute of Technology and Pasadena City College campuses, as well as the Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa.

This section of Pasadena is characterized by a significant amount of ground floor retail, as well as some smaller two-story shopping centers. Most of the office buildings include retail space located on the ground floor, while some single-story freestanding structures are comprised solely of retail tenants. Two supermarkets, Ralphs and Pavilions, and a department store (Macy’s) represent the sector’s larger retail tenants, whereas much of the smaller to medium-sized spaces are occupied by popular retailers, restaurants, gyms or other assorted uses. There are many available surface lots, stacked car parks and subterranean garages in addition to street parking.

Retail availabilities within the Pasadena area are highlighted on the following table and numbered according to their location. On the accompanying map, each numbered property’s location is displayed in relation to the subject property.

CONCLUSIONS – MARKET RENT

The terms of a market lease can vary substantially based on the length of the lease, the tenant allowance or other concessions requested by the tenant, the size of the premises, credit worthiness of the tenant, and the level (floor) within the building.

The market for office space has softened throughout much of Los Angeles County, and within North Los Angeles market over the past year. We concluded that the recent activity and current trends in the market indicated that the following market rental rate projected for the subject office space would be achievable on average over the course of the first year of the holding period.

The subject is positioned at the lower end to middle of the Pasadena office market in terms of quality, but at the upper end in terms of amenities, and location. We analyzed the available leasing data which was summarized on the previous exhibits. The subject benefits from one of the best locations in Pasadena, but the property is older than most of the competitive buildings.

The most similar property overall is item P-12 on the previous comparable lease exhibit (595 Colorado Boulevard), with recent leasing activity structured at initial rates from $23.40 to $30 per-square-foot annually for small suites (less than 1,000 SF). Lease terms are typically three to five years in length, and we projected an average lease term of five years. Based on our analysis of the data, including the subject leasing activity but also considering the comparable lease data and discussions with leasing brokers active in this market, we concluded the following “typical” market rent and concession package for the subject property.

OTHER REVENUES

The exhibit on the previous page, Income & Expense Statements, summarizes the historical and budgeted revenues by category for the subject property. The data for the subject property covers full years 2007 through 2009, as well as 2010 year-to-date (January through September) and annualized 2010. We were not provided with a budget for 2010 or 2011. Other income is typically generated by storage revenue, operating expense recoveries, parking revenue, and other miscellaneous sources, but we were not provided with a breakdown of these revenue categories. Based on individual statements to the subject tenants, however, we were able to determine a breakout of the storage rent currently being collected.

Expense Recoveries

As discussed previously, we have assumed all future leases will be structured on a FSG basis, and have modeled the existing leases with a current (first year of projected expenses) base year. As discussed under Market Rent, we concluded at a FSG rent for the subject office space based on the competitive buildings in the market, and future leases were assumed to be FSG (tenants pay prorata increases over base year expenses). We concluded at NNN rents for the ground floor bank branch.

Parking Revenue

The subject parking facilities consist of 412 parking spaces in an adjacent five-level parking garage (two subterranean levels) for a parking ratio of 3.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Parking revenues are generated primarily through monthly parkers, transient parking, and daily validations (coupons). The following exhibit summarizes the reported historical and budgeted parking income for 301 Colorado based on the information contained in the building management’s operating statements.

Parking Revenue

Year Amount $ per SF

Year-End 2007 $402,166 $3.43

Year-End 2008 $392,865 $3.35

Year-End 2009 $424,557 $3.62

2010 Annualized $511,336 $4.36

According to the building representatives, the subject has been historically operating at full occupancy and the recent data should represent stabilized performance. The current rate for the tenants is either $120 per or $125 per month for space. We projected monthly parking revenues at $450,000 annually during the first year of the projection.

Storage and Other Income – This category includes income derived from the leasing of storage space to tenants within the property, and miscellaneous income sources such as NSF and late fees, or tenant direct reimbursements. The property includes 3,140 square feet of storage space. Based on the statements to the tenants, the following storage charges are in place (monthly):

We annualized this amount and modeled storage/other income at a rounded $35,000 annually.

OPERATING EXPENSES

The historical and budgeted expenses for the subject property are summarized on the accompanying exhibit. The data covers actual expenses for full year periods 2008 through 2009, as well as 2010 year-to-date (January through September). We were not provided with a budget for 2010 or 2011, and it is our understanding none has been prepared.

We considered historical operating expenses as well as operating expenses from a survey of four comparable office properties in the Pasadena submarket in a range of comparable sizes. We also have included (shown below) 2009 expense data from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), a real estate analysis firm specializing in providing business professionals with income and expense estimates via an annual research effort encompassing almost 10,000 projects. Additionally, we have added expense data from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA). The accompanying exhibit summarizes the data we considered in estimating expenses for the property. We note that the historical subject expenses provided for our review indicates expense levels which are not consistent for some categories with other properties. While we have reviewed and considered the actual reported subject expenses, we have relied primarily on expense levels for comparable, professionally managed properties.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS

Investors in office properties typically forecast net operating income and cash flows over a period of time usually ranging from five to 15 years. This projection is used to determine a purchase price justified by the degree of risk inherent in the proposed investment. We modeled the cash flow for the subject property using Argus and Excel software using the following assumptions.

1) Holding Period - We estimated a value for the property on an “As Is” basis with the cash flow commencement date of January 1, 2011. We modeled a 10-year holding period for the analysis.

2) Income Projections - Existing tenants were modeled according to the terms of their leases. Tenants were modeled with a 70 percent renewal probability upon the expiration of their current lease terms. Month-to-month tenants were modeled to “roll to market” after the first year of the projection period. The current vacancy is modeled to be leased over the first 12 months.

3) Growth Projections - Income and Expense growth rate assumptions are summarized as follows:

Assumed CPI: 3.0% Annually

Market Rent*: Years 1 - 2: 0.0% Annually

Year 3: 5.0% Annually

Years 4 - 6: 6.0% Annually

Years 7 - 11: 3.0% Annually

Operating Expenses: 3.0% Annually

Real Estate Taxes: 2.0% Annually

Tenant Improvements: 3.0% Annually

Parking Income: 3.0% Annually

Other Income: 3.0% Annually

4) Expense Reimbursements - Based on the prevailing market practices, future subject tenants were modeled on a full service gross basis with tenants responsible their pro rata share of expenses over a base year.

5) Vacancy and Collection Loss - We modeled a global 5.0% vacancy and collection deduction in addition to a lag vacancy between leases of 9 months for 5 year leases, prior to weighting for renewal probability. We offset the global deduction by lag vacancy between leases.

6) Leasing Commissions - This expense was modeled at 6% of lease years one through five. Renewing tenants were modeled with 1/2 commission.

7) Reversion - The reversionary sales price was calculated by applying a capitalization rate of 8.0 percent to the 11th year’s net operating income. Following a 2.0 percent cost of sale deduction, the reversion price was added to the previous year’s cash flow prior to discounting.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS

The credit crunch that began to unfold in the U.S. in mid-2007 evolved into a global financial crisis by October 2008, soon after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Many market observers equate this crisis as the greatest challenge to the world’s economic health since the Great Depression. Its effects have radically reshaped the financial sector, and its consequences continue to impact nearly every other industry. Although many financial experts believe that the worst may be behind us, economic data continues to send mixed signals.

From the start, government efforts to combat the crisis were not only robust but also unprecedented. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of October 2008 (EESA) allowed Treasury to facilitate the $700.0 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) also known as “the bailout”. In February of 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (AARA) was enacted by Congress and signed into law. Better known as the “stimulus bill”, the $787.0 billion package included federal tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits, in addition to increasing domestic spending on education, health care, and infrastructure. So far, about a third of the “stimulus” money has been spent. Time will tell if a second “stimulus” is needed, as some leading economists argue. For the time being, however, it appears that government policies have successfully reinvigorated the financial markets.

The fallout from the crisis was significant, widespread, and permanently altered the financial landscape. Institutions such as Lehman Brothers, which had been around for well over a century, were acquired, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, or placed into federal conservatorship. Money from TARP flooded these companies with the much-needed cash to stay afloat, pulling them, and the economy at large, from the brink of collapse. To date, a few major institutions such as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs have repaid their TARP loans; however, most of this has been done with capital raised from the issuance of equity securities and debt not necessarily guaranteed by the federal government.

Currently, the biggest concern for investors is job growth and its consequent impact on leasing activity. Without this core demand driver and a solid economic recovery, occupancy and rents will not recover and market revitalization will be muted. In the first half of 2010, a renewed vigor in the capital markets helped lift values and compressed overall capitalization rates in some transactions. This is beginning to show up in sales and surveys but the sustainability of this trend will become clearer during the second half of 2010 as more and deals emerge.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The U.S. officially entered this recession in December 2007. Though no official end has been announced, the economy grew by 2.2 percent in the third quarter of 2009, 5.6 percent in the fourth quarter (the best performance since 2003), and 3.2 percent in 2010’s first quarter. Most estimates place the year-end 2010 growth somewhere in the 3.0 percent range, but the economy remains volatile and there is no clear evidence that we are out of the woods.

Due to this ongoing economic uncertainty, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) remains cautious and has yet to declare an end to the recession. Despite some economists’ concerns about a “double-dip” recession the consensus of experts suggests that such a scenario is unlikely, and slow improvement in economic fundamentals is expected.

Listed below are some notable economic trends:

301 COLORADO INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 151

Following two years of job losses, job creation increased in the first quarter of 2010. In June 2010, however, the U.S. experienced its second straight month of lackluster hiring. Although the unemployment rate managed to slip to 9.5 percent from 9.7 percent in May, it was largely a result of 652,000 people abandoning their job searches.

In June 2010, retail sales tumbled for their second straight month, raising concerns about consumer spending. Retail sales decreased by 0.5 percent, notably higher than the Dow Jones Newswires forecast of a 0.3 percent decline. Driving June’s drop was a lower demand for cars and parts.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that June 2010 existing home sales fell 5.1 percent over May 2010 but are 9.8 percent higher than they were in June 2009. NAR noted that sales will likely slow in the coming months following the end of the tax credit, and that it will begin to show significant improvement as more jobs are created.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET IMPACT

In mid-2010, the commercial real estate sector remains troubled. Not only is it a concern for banks holding commercial real estate loans, but to the entire economy as a whole. In fact, a congressional panel announced earlier this year that mounting commercial real estate loans could endanger the banking system and dampen economic recovery. Over the next four years, a total of $1.4 trillion in commercial loans will require financing, while more than half of those loans are currently “under water.” Expected losses may total between $200.0 and $300.0 billion, threatening roughly 3,000 small and mid-size banks that hold a disproportionate share of commercial real estate assets on their books.

Proposed efforts to combat the crisis range from government intervention similar to the TARP program, and “stress tests” for banks that are heavily concentrated with commercial real estate loans. The response will likely be one that will force banks to closely monitor losses and take appropriate action. Any actions taken will undoubtedly be closely watched by investors.

Over the past few years, reduced credit availability and sellers’ refusals to lower pricing, translated into significantly reduced transaction volume. According to Real Capital Analytics, the dollar volume of commercial real estate sales increased about 300.0 percent between 2003 and 2007, but decreased by 71.0 percent in 2008, and by roughly 63.0 percent in 2009. Total volume in 2009 was 89.0 percent below the frenetic pace recorded in 2007.

As of mid-year 2010, sales volume appears to be making a comeback. Totaling $36.4 billion, or a 68.0 percent increase over mid-year 2009, year-to-date sales volume is the highest it’s been since third quarter 2008. Still, the road to recovery is not without its bumps. Most of these deals are concentrated in major cities and in top tier markets. On top of this, high sales volume is somewhat deceiving as the number of deals actually transpiring is not advancing at the same rapid clip. In fact, Real Capital Analytics recorded 534 sales in the first half of 2010, representing only a 16.8 percent increase from a year ago. This is expected to change during the second half of 2010, however, as renewed interest and more capital flood the markets.

Though Federal monetary policy (low interest rates) remains favorable for real estate investors, market remains essentially bifurcated. On one end of the spectrum, significant capital is chasing the highest quality, institutional-grade assets, which are leading to compressed OARs. On the other end of the spectrum is the distressed market wherein large opportunity funds are looking for larger distressed properties and value-add opportunities. There is still a very limited market for properties in the middle.

Other important points to consider include:

An increasing number of deals which are too troubled to save and work through the REO/foreclosure process are expected to be brought to market in the second half of 2010.

As the number of deals increase and more “troubled” properties enter the market, loan restructuring will become more common. Fortunately, adjusting debt service coverage ratios and the handling of non- performing loans, in general, are more easily accommodated in the current low interest rate environment.

A growing number of market experts believe that office and industrial markets have reached a bottom in most major markets across the country. This is evidenced by stabilizing vacancy rates and the return of positive absorption.

CONCLUSION

Recent discussions with investors and capital markets participants suggest that capital and debt levels are returning to the real estate market, particularly for well-located Class A assets. Brokers have reported a significant increase in the number of offers and the corresponding pricing, and the debt markets have shown significant movement in terms of LTV’s and more “aggressive” debt terms. While the underlying leasing fundamentals continue to be depressed, the availability of capital and debt appears to be “in front” of the growth in jobs necessary to support strong absorption and rental growth. Considered in conjunction with a limited amount of quality assets for sale, liquidity and pricing in the market, particularly for Class A assets, is increasing.

ANALYSIS PERIOD

Source: Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey

As the chart illustrates, the return requirements cited by investors declined during the period from 2004 through 2006, moderating through 2007, and more recently (2008 through third quarter 2009) showing an increasing trend as investment market conditions further weakened. Through third quarter 2010 however, investment market conditions have improved considerably over 2009. The (average) IRR requirements for Suburban office properties on a national basis increased quarterly from first quarter 2008 through third quarter 2009, with the reported IRR’s stabilizing/improving over the past five quarters. IRR requirements declined by 79 basis points from the recent peak of 10.24 percent (third quarter 2009) to the current level of 9.45 percent (third quarter 2010).

Not coincidentally, the 2008-2009 increase corresponds somewhat to the period since the Lehman Bros bankruptcy at the end of September, 2008. While the capital and debt markets were impacted significantly beginning in approximately mid-2007, the Lehman bankruptcy and subsequent “fallout” in the financial markets beginning fourth quarter 2008 brought most real estate investment to a virtual “standstill”, as buyers could not obtain financing and there were no guidelines for underwriting risk.

In addition to IRR decreases, overall capitalization rates (OAR) have also decreased by 39 basis points from the recent peak of 8.79 percent during first quarter 2010 to 8.4 percent as of third quarter 2010. Terminal capitalization rates have remained somewhat steady over the past seven quarters, within a 40 basis point range (8.46% to 8.85%) during this timeframe.

FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS

We have prepared a discounted cash flow using Argus cash flow software. The following information was extracted from the Korpacz Investor Survey, and was used to help determine our growth rate assumptions.

Terminal Capitalization Rate Selection

A terminal capitalization rate was used to develop an opinion of the market value of the property at the end of the assumed investment holding period. The rate is applied to the net operating income following year 10 before making deductions for leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances and reserves for replacement. We have developed an opinion of an appropriate terminal capitalization rate based on indicated rates in current investor surveys.

Investors will typically use a more conservative overall rate when exiting an investment versus the rate that would be used going into the investment. This accounts for the aging associated with the improvements over the course of the holding period, and it also accounts for any unforeseen risks that might arise over that time period. We note that capitalization rates have increased over the past year, and particularly over the past several months. Current requirements are not necessarily reflected in closed transactions. Based on discussions with investment brokers and buyers relating to current underwriting, we used an 8.0 percent terminal capitalization rate in our analysis.

There is a wide range in “all cash” discount rates or IRR’s shown in the surveys. The appropriate rate depends upon a number of considerations, including the source and return requirements of the fund(s) who represent the most logical buyers of the property, the leasing profile for the property (including the occupancy level as well as the “length and strength” of the leases), and the risk and cost associated with managing the asset over the near-

term and long-term. The “average” all cash discount rate shown for Los Angeles office is 9.19 percent, representing a decrease of 23 basis points over first quarter 2010 (9.42%). The “all cash” discount rate is a blend of debt and equity return requirements, so the debt markets have a significant impact on the resulting all cash indication. Equity funds have a wide range in target yields, and many funds have been raised with target returns in a specified range.

Based on our analysis of the investment market for assets of this caliber and location, and considering the subject’s leasing profile, we concluded a discount rate of 9.00 percent is appropriate for the subject. This rate considers the subject’s location, quality, tenant base, and stabilized occupancy level.

DIRECT CAPITALIZATION METHOD

In the direct capitalization method, we estimated a value by dividing the subject’s net operating income by an overall capitalization rate. This overall rate (OAR) is selected based on our analysis of market sales and reported requirements from the category of investor most representative of the buyers for this asset. The overall rate is calculated by dividing the net operating income from the sales by their respective sales prices.

The overall capitalization rates for the comparable data in the Sales Comparison Approach and the occupancy levels at sale used as the basis for the overall rate calculations are summarized on the accompanying exhibit.

301 COLORADO INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH 159

DIRECT CAPITALIZATION

The comparable data show a range in overall rates from 7.3 percent to 9.3 percent; excluding the near-term rollover indication for I-5, the data show a tighter range from 7.3 percent to 8.7 percent. The high end of this range corresponds to the most dated transaction, I-4. Capitalization rates have declined since this sale occurred, and since I-6 occurred as well. We concluded a capitalization rate in the range bracketed by the data, but considering the subject’s age, or approximately 8.0 percent, is appropriate for the property.

$1,993,285 ÷ 8.0% = $24,916,063

Rounded Value by Direct Capitalization: $25,000,000

INCOME APPROACH CONCLUSIONS

This approach provided the following indications of value:

Value

Direct Capitalization: $25,000,000

Discounted Cash Flow: $25,400,000

The two indications ranged from $25.0 million to $25.4 million. We placed most emphasis on direct capitalization, and concluded the property has a value of $25,000,000 by the Income Approach.

301 COLORADO RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE OPINION 160

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE OPINION

VALUATION METHODOLOGY REVIEW AND RECONCILIATION

This appraisal employs the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that the Sales and Income Approaches are the most relevant. New construction is not economically feasible in the current environment as market rents in the Pasadena submarket would not support the development of a major office or commercial building. In addition, estimating depreciation for a property of the subject’s age (built in 1964) will not result in a reliable indication. We have accordingly not included a Cost Approach.

The indicated value conclusions for the property are:

Cost Approach: N/A

Sales Comparison Approach: $25,800,000

Income Approach: $25,000,000

The other two indications of value ranged from $25,000,000 to $25,800,000, or a range of approximately 3.2 percent. The Sales Comparison Approach included cross section of office building sales and marketing activity throughout Los Angeles County.

The Income Approach represents the most important approach for the subject property. This approach is emphasized by investors in properties of this size. We concluded the Income Approach provides the most reliable estimate of value for the subject property.

MARKET VALUE AS IS

Based on our Appraisal as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, we have developed an opinion that the “As-Is” Market Value of the Leased Fee estate of the referenced property, subject to the assumptions, limiting conditions, certifications, and definitions, on December 10, 2010 was:

TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

$25,000,000

EXPOSURE TIME

Based on our review of national investor surveys, discussions with market participants and information gathered during the sales verification process, a reasonable exposure time for the subject property at the value concluded within this report would have been approximately nine (9) months. This assumes an active and professional marketing plan would have been employed by the current owner.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

An extraordinary assumption is defined by the USPAP as “an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal or economic characteristics of

the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

1) The subject property has been managed and leased for many years by personnel employed by entities related to the ownership. A rent roll, leases, and the accounting records for the property were provided for our review. Based on our review of these available materials and conversations with the management, we concluded the rentable areas for the tenants and the building provided on the rent roll and/or in the leases may not represent the actual rentable area using typical measurement standards applied by other landlords and their tenants in this marketplace. The “norm” for calculating rentable areas is set forth in standards identified by “BOMA”, which typically include (generically) the area within the building walls, excluding floor penetrations (such as stairwells and elevators). The rentable area for a particular tenant’s suite will consist of the actual area inside the suite plus an allocation (“load factor”) of the building’s common areas, including lobbies, corridors and restrooms (this is a simplistic characterization and there are exceptions and additional permissible add-ons). Based on our review of available information, the rent roll provided for our review may not represent measurements consistent with the “market”.

We have relied on the areas set forth in the subject rent roll as the basis for the rentable area utilized in this appraisal. Since rentable square feet is the typical “metric” used to compare and to value office properties both on a rental and a sales comparison basis, any significant differences in the area utilized for the subject and the actual rentable area based on BOMA standards will have a corresponding impact on the value conclusion for the property. We recommend the client retain a qualified firm to measure and calculate the rentable areas for the subject prior to finalizing any decisions involving this asset.

2) Based on our inspection of the property it is our understanding that many of the mechanical systems in the building are “original” from the 1964 construction date. The building’s systems may need some significant capital investment for upgrades and/or replacement. Prior to closing a sale or a loan involving the property it is very likely that a prudent buyer would retain a qualified firm to conduct an inspection of the property and identify items of deferred maintenance and code issues such as handicap/ADA requirements. Any identified costs would likely result in an adjustment to the purchase price/value of the property. We have not made any specific capital deductions, since there is no engineering or property survey available nor has any been conducted to our knowledge, but we have deducted an ongoing reserve that is higher than typical. We recommend the client have a property condition survey of the building conducted prior to finalizing any decisions involving the property.

3) We inspected the property November 19, 2010. The date of value is December 10, 2010. We assume no material changes in the property occurred between the date of inspection and December 10, 2010.

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS:

A hypothetical condition is defined by the USPAP as “that which is contrary to what exists but is supposed for the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

This appraisal does not employ any hypothetical conditions.

The Report has been made subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions:

No opinion is intended to be expressed and no responsibility is assumed for the legal description or for any matters that are legal in nature or require legal expertise or specialized knowledge beyond that of a real estate appraiser. Title to the Property is assumed to be good and marketable and the Property is assumed to be free and clear of all liens unless otherwise stated. No survey of the Property was undertaken.

The information contained in the Report or upon which the Report is based has been gathered from sources the Appraiser assumes to be reliable and accurate. The owner of the Property may have provided some of such information. Neither the Appraiser nor C&W shall be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of such information, including the correctness of estimates, opinions, dimensions, sketches, exhibits and factual matters. Any authorized user of the Report is obligated to bring to the attention of C&W any inaccuracies or errors that it believes are contained in the Report.

The opinions are only as of the date stated in the Report. Changes since that date in external and market factors or in the Property itself can significantly affect the conclusions in the Report.

The Report is to be used in whole and not in part. No part of the Report shall be used in conjunction with any other analyses. Publication of the Report or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of C&W is prohibited.

Reference to the Appraisal Institute or to the MAI designation is prohibited. Except as may be otherwise stated in the letter of engagement, the Report may not be used by any person(s) other than the party(ies) to whom it is addressed or for purposes other than that for which it was prepared. No part of the Report shall be conveyed to the public through advertising, or used in any sales, promotion, offering or SEC material without C&W’s prior written consent. Any authorized user(s) of this Report who provides a copy to, or permits reliance thereon by, any person or entity not authorized by C&W in writing to use or rely thereon, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold C&W, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, officers and employees, harmless from and against all damages, expenses, claims and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in investigating and defending any claim arising from or in any way connected to the use of, or reliance upon, the Report by any such unauthorized person(s) or entity(ies).

Except as may be otherwise stated in the letter of engagement, the Appraiser shall not be required to give testimony in any court or administrative proceeding relating to the Property or the Appraisal.

The Report assumes (a) responsible ownership and competent management of the Property; (b) there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Property, subsoil or structures that render the Property more or less valuable (no responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover them); (c) full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local zoning and environmental regulations and laws, unless noncompliance is stated, defined and considered in the Report; and (d) all required licenses, certificates of occupancy and other governmental consents have been or can be obtained and renewed for any use on which the value opinion contained in the Report is based.

301 COLORADO ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS 163

The forecasts of income and expenses are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are the Appraiser’s best opinions of current market thinking on future income and expenses. The Appraiser and C&W make no warranty or representation that these forecasts will materialize. The real estate market is constantly fluctuating and changing. It is not the Appraiser’s task to predict or in any way warrant the conditions of a future real estate market; the Appraiser can only reflect what the investment community, as of the date of the Report, envisages for the future in terms of rental rates, expenses, and supply and demand.

Unless otherwise stated in the Report, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic materials that may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the improvements or may be located at or about the Property was not considered in arriving at the opinion of value. These materials (such as formaldehyde foam insulation, asbestos insulation and other potentially hazardous materials) may adversely affect the value of the Property. The Appraisers are not qualified to detect such substances. C&W recommends that an environmental expert be employed to determine the impact of these matters on the opinion of value.

Unless otherwise stated in the Report, compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not been considered in arriving at the opinion of value. Failure to comply with the requirements of the ADA may adversely affect the value of the Property. C&W recommends that an expert in this field be employed to determine the compliance of the Property with the requirements of the ADA and the impact of these matters on the opinion of value.

If the Report is submitted to a lender or investor with the prior approval of C&W, such party should consider this Report as only one factor, together with its independent investment considerations and underwriting criteria, in its overall investment decision. Such lender or investor is specifically cautioned to understand all Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions and the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions incorporated in this Report.

In the event of a claim against C&W or its affiliates or their respective officers or employees or the Appraisers in connection with or in any way relating to this Report or this engagement, the maximum damages recoverable shall be the amount of the monies actually collected by C&W or its affiliates for this Report and under no circumstances shall any claim for consequential damages be made.

If the Report is referred to or included in any offering material or prospectus, the Report shall be deemed referred to or included for informational purposes only and C&W, its employees and the Appraiser have no liability to such recipients.

C&W disclaims any and all liability to any party other than the party that retained C&W to prepare the Report.

Any estimate of insurable value, if included within the agreed upon scope of work and presented within this report, is based upon figures derived from a national cost estimating service and is developed consistent with industry practices.

However, actual local and regional construction costs may vary significantly from our estimate and individual insurance policies and underwriters have varied specifications, exclusions, and non-insurable items. As such, we strongly recommend that the Client obtain estimates from professionals experienced in establishing insurance coverage for replacing any structure. This analysis should not be relied upon to determine insurance coverage. Furthermore, we make no warranties regarding the accuracy of this estimate.

By use of this Report each party that uses this Report agrees to be bound by all of the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, Hypothetical Conditions and Extraordinary Assumptions stated herein.

301 COLORADO GLOSSARY OF TERMS & DEFINITIONS 165

GLOSSARY OF TERMS & DEFINITIONS

The following definitions of pertinent terms are taken from The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fourth Edition (2002), published by the Appraisal Institute, Chicago, IL, as well as other sources.

ACCRUED DEPRECIATION

1. In appraisal, a loss in property value from any cause; the difference between the reproduction or replacement cost of an improvement on the effective date of the appraisal and the market value of the improvement on the same date. 2. In regard to improvements, depreciation encompasses both deterioration and obsolescence. 3. In accounting, an allowance made against the loss in value of an asset for a defined purpose and computed using a specific method.

BAND OF INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

A technique in which the capitalization rates attributable to components of capital investment are weighted and computed to derive a weighted average rate attributable to the total investment.

CASH EQUIVALENCE

A price expressed in terms of cash, as distinguished from a price expressed totally or partly in terms of the face amounts of notes or other securities that cannot be sold at their face amounts. Calculating the cash-equivalent price requires an appraiser to compare transactions involving atypical financing to transactions involving comparable properties financed at typical market terms.

ELLWOOD FORMULA

Yield capitalization method that provides a formulaic solution for developing a capitalization rate for various combinations of equity yields and mortgage terms. The formula is applicable only to properties with stable or stabilized income streams and properties with income streams expected to change according to the J- or K-factor pattern.

EXPOSURE TIME

The length of time the property being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at the market value on the effective date of the appraisal. Exposure time is presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal.

The reasonable exposure period is a function of price, time and use. It is not an isolated opinion of time alone. Exposure time is different for various types of property and under various market conditions. It is a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of past events, assuming a competitive and open market. It assumes not only adequate, sufficient and reasonable time but adequate, sufficient and a reasonable marketing effort. Exposure time and conclusion of value are therefore interrelated.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

An extraordinary assumption is “an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

FEE SIMPLE ESTATE

Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS

A hypothetical condition is “that which is contrary to what exists but is supposed for the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”

INSURABLE VALUE

The value of an asset or asset group that is covered by an insurance policy; can be estimated by deducting costs of non-insurable items (e.g., land value) from market value.

Value used by insurance companies as the basis for insurance. Often considered to be replacement or reproduction cost plus allowances for debris removal or demolition less deterioration and non-insurable items. Sometimes cash value or market value, but often entirely a cost concept. (Marshall & Swift LP)

LEASED FEE INTEREST

An ownership interest held by a landlord with the rights of use and occupancy conveyed by lease to others. The rights of the lessor (the leased fee owner) and the lessee are specified by contract terms contained within the lease.

LEASEHOLD INTEREST

The interest held by the lessee (the tenant or renter) through a lease transferring the rights of use and occupancy for a stated term under certain conditions.

MARKET RENT

The most probable rent that a property should bring in a competitive and open market reflecting all conditions and restrictions of the specified lease agreement including term, rental adjustment and revaluation, permitted uses, use restrictions, and expense obligations; the lessee and lessor each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming consummation of a lease contract as of a specified date and the passing of the leasehold from lessor to lessee under conditions whereby:

Lessee and lessor are typically motivated.

301 COLORADO GLOSSARY OF TERMS & DEFINITIONS 166

Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests.

A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.

The rent payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars, and is expressed as an amount per time period consistent with the payment schedule of the lease contract.

The rental amount represents the normal consideration for the property lease unaffected by special fees or concessions granted by anyone associated with the transaction.

MARKET VALUE

The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:

Buyer and seller are typically motivated;

Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests;

A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

Payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and

The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. (12 C.F.R. Part 34.42(g) Federal Register 34696, August 24, 1990, as amended at 57 Federal Register 12202, April 9, 1992;

59 Federal Register 29499, June 7, 1994)

MARKETING TIME

1. The time it takes an interest in real property to sell on the market sub-sequent to the date of an appraisal. 2. An estimate of the amount of time it might take to sell an interest in real property at its estimated market value during the period immediately after the effective date of the appraisal; the anticipated time required to expose the property to a pool of prospective purchasers and to allow appropriate time for negotiation, the exercise of due diligence, and the consummation of a sale at a price supportable by concurrent market conditions. Marketing time differs from exposure time, which is always presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal. (Advisory Opinion 7 of the Appraisal Standards Board of The Appraisal Foundation and Statement on Appraisal Standards No. 6, “Reasonable Exposure Time in Real Property and Personal Property Market Value Opinions” address the determination of reasonable exposure and marketing time.)

MORTGAGE-EQUITY ANALYSIS

Capitalization and investment analysis procedures that recognize how mortgage terms and equity requirements affect the value of income-producing property.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Property Insurance – Coverage for loss or damage to the property caused by the perils of fire, lightning, extended coverage perils, vandalism and malicious mischief, and additional perils.

Management Fees - The sum paid for management services. Management services may be contracted for or provided by the property owner. Management expenses may include supervision, on-site offices or apartments for resident managers, telephone service, clerical help, legal or accounting services, printing and postage, and advertising. Management fees may occasionally be included among recoverable operating expenses

Total Administrative Fees – Depending on the nature of the real estate, these usually include professional fees and other general administrative expenses, such as rent of offices and the services needed to operate the property.

Real Estate Taxes - The tax levied on real estate (i.e., on the land, appurtenances, improvements, structures and buildings); typically by the state, county and/or municipality in which the property is located.

PROSPECTIVE VALUE OPINION

A forecast of the value expected at a specified future date. A prospective value opinion is most frequently sought in connection with real estate projects that are proposed, under construction, or under conversion to a new use, or that have not achieved sellout or a stabilized level of long-term occupancy at the time the appraisal report is written.

PROSPECTIVE VALUE UPON REACHING STABILIZED OCCUPANCY

The value of a property as of a point in time when all improvements have been physically constructed and the property has been leased to its optimum level of long-term occupancy. At such point, all capital outlays for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, marketing costs and other carrying charges are assumed to have been incurred.

VALUE AS IS

The value of specific ownership rights to an identified parcel of real estate as of the effective date of the appraisal. It relates to what physically exists and is legally permissible and excludes all assumptions concerning hypothetical market conditions or possible rezoning.
