June 18, 2004 Mr. Yaniv Blumenfeld Vice President Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. 399 Park Avenue, 8th Floor New York, N.Y. 10022 Re: Complete Appraisal of Real Property In a Self-Contained Report
Mount Carmel Office 50 West 3rd Street Mount Carmel Borough, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania 17851
C&W File ID: 04-9157-11
Dear Mr. Blumenfeld:
In fulfillment of our agreement as outlined in the Letter of Engagement, we are pleased to transmit our complete appraisal report on the property referenced above.
The value opinion reported below is qualified by certain assumptions, limiting conditions, certifications, and definitions, which are set forth in the report. We particularly call your attention to the following extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions:
Extraordinary Assumptions The appraisal employs the following extraordinary assumptions: 1) The annual Base Rent for the Wachovia Bank space over the first 5 years of the lease is assumed to be $5.92 per square foot increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years over the 20 year initial lease term.
2) We have assumed the 20 year Wachovia Bank lease commences as of our effective date of valuation and that none of the six 5 year renewal options are exercised as it is uncertain as to the Bank’s needs in 20 years.
3) The building square footage used to estimate market value is based upon information supplied to us by the buyer. We have assumed that this figure is an accurate reflection of the subject building's size.
Hypothetical Conditions: This appraisal employs the following hypothetical condition:
1) As the subject property is leased, the “As Dark” Value assumes the entire property is vacant and available for lease at current market terms.
Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. Mr. Yaniv Blumenfeld Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. June 18, 2004 Page 2
This Report has been prepared to assist in the determination of whether to make a loan evidenced by a note (the “Mortgage Note”) secured by the property referred to in the Report. This Report may be relied upon by: (i) Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”); (ii) the trustee of a trust created in connection with a securitization which includes the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii) any other purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest therein, upon such purchaser’s or assignee’s written acceptance of and consent to the terms of this reliance letter. This Report may be, for information purposes only: (i) provided to any potential purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; (ii) provided to any rating agency, rating securities which represent a beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund that consists of mortgage loans including the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii) referred to, quoted in or included with materials offering for sale the Mortgage Note or an interest therein. There are no third party beneficiaries (intended or unintended) to this Report, except as expressly stated herein. This Report speaks only as of its date.
This report may not be distributed or relied upon by any other persons or entities without the written permission of Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.
This appraisal report has been prepared in accordance with our interpretation of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), including the Competency Provision.
The property was inspected by and the report was prepared by Daniel C. Rudderow under the supervision of Gerald B. McNamara, MAI.
This appraisal employs all three typical approaches to value: the Cost Approach, 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 all approaches would be considered meaningful and applicable in developing a credible value conclusion.
Based on our Complete Appraisal as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, 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, “as is” on June 17, 2004 is:
FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$550,000
Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. Mr. Yaniv Blumenfeld Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. June 18, 2004 Page 3
In addition, we have estimated the “As Dark” Value of the Fee Simple Interest as of June 17, 2004 at:
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS $150,000
Based upon transactions that have occurred in the marketplace as well as discussions with knowledgeable market participants, exposure time would have required approximately nine (9) months. Furthermore, a marketing period of approximately nine (9) months will be reasonable for properties such as the subject.
This letter is invalid as an opinion of value if detached from the report, which contains the text, exhibits, and Addenda.
Respectfully submitted,

Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
Extraordinary Assumptions
An extraordinary assumption is defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice 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.”
The appraisal employs the following extraordinary assumptions: 1) The annual Base Rent for the Wachovia Bank space over the first 5 years of the lease is assumed to be $5.92 per square foot increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years over the 20 year initial lease term.
2) We have assumed the 20 year Wachovia Bank lease commences as of our effective date of valuation and that none of the six 5 year renewal options are exercised as it is uncertain as to the Bank’s needs in 20 years.
3) The building square footage used to estimate market value is based upon information supplied to us by the buyer. We have assumed that this figure is an accurate reflection of the subject building's size.
Hypothetical Conditions
A hypothetical condition is defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice 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 employs the following hypothetical condition: 1) As the subject property is leased, the "As Dark" Value assumes the entire property is vacant and available for lease at current market terms.

INTRODUCTION
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 2
Scope of the Appraisal This is a complete appraisal presented in a self-contained report, intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
In addition, the report was also prepared to conform to the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics of the Appraisal Institute and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), Title XI Regulations.
In preparation of this appraisal, we investigated numerous vacant land and 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.
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, whenever possible, 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. The valuation process involved utilizing generally accepted market-derived methods and procedures considered appropriate to the assignment.
This appraisal employs all three typical approaches to value: the Cost Approach, 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 all approaches would be considered meaningful and applicable in developing a credible value conclusion.
Definitions of Value, Interest Appraised and Other Terms The following definitions of pertinent terms are taken from the Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, published by the Appraisal Institute, as well as other sources.
Market Value
Market value is one of the central concepts of the appraisal practice. Market value is differentiated from other types of value in that it is created by the collective patterns of the market. A current economic definition agreed upon by agencies that regulate federal financial institutions in the United States of America follows, taken from the glossary of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of The Appraisal Foundation:
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:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
INTRODUCTION
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 3
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in US dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. 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.
“As Dark” Value
The market value assuming the property is entirely vacant and available for lease at market terms. This value factors in the cost of lease-up which includes rent loss, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and holding costs over the absorption period.
Fee Simple Estate
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.
Leased Fee Estate
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 leased fee are specified by contract terms contained within the lease.
Market Rent
The rental income that a property would most probably command on the open market, indicated by the current rents paid and asked for comparable space as of the date of appraisal.
Cash Equivalent
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.
Exposure Time and Marketing Time
Exposure Time
Under Paragraph 3 of the Definition of Market Value, the value opinion presumes that "A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market". Exposure time is defined as the length of time the property interest 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 real estate and under various market conditions. As noted above, exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective date of appraisal. It is the length of time the property would have been offered prior to a hypothetical market value sale on the effective date of appraisal. It is a retrospective opinion based on an analysis of recent past events, assuming a competitive and open market. It
INTRODUCTION
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 4
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.
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.
Marketing Time
Marketing time is an opinion of the time that might be required to sell a real property interest at the appraised value. Marketing time is presumed to start on the effective date of the appraisal and take place subsequent to the effective date of the appraisal. The opinion of marketing time uses some of the same data analyzed in the process of estimating reasonable exposure time and it is not intended to be a prediction of a date of sale.
We believe, based on the assumptions employed in our analysis, as well as our selection of investment parameters for the subject, that our value conclusion represents a price achievable within nine (9) months.
Legal Description The subject site is identified by Northumberland County as Tax Parcel Numbers 7-2-4-104 and 4-2-1-246. A legal description can be found in the Addenda to this report.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS
Northumberland County Northumberland County was created in 1772, from parts of Lancaster, Cumberland, Berks, Bedford and Northampton Counties. Sunbury, the county seat, was laid out in 1772, incorporated as a borough in 1797, and became a city in 1921. Containing an area of 460 square miles, Northumberland County is located 50± miles north of Harrisburg along the Susquehanna River in the heart of the Susquehanna Valley. It is bordered by Montour and Columbia Counties to the north, Schuylkill County to the east, Union and Snyder counties to the west and Dauphin County to the south.
Population According to the most recent federal census, Northumberland County had a 2000 population of 94,556 persons, a decrease of 2.3 percent decrease from the 1990 figure of 96,771. In addition, this represents a population density of approximately 210 persons per square mile.
Employment Historically, Northumberland County was best known as a coal mining area, with the various communities here developed along the coal veins. Although the county continues to rank highly in anthracite coal production in Pennsylvania, its importance has diminished in recent years. Now, the major economic activities are manufacturing (textiles and transportation equipment), agriculture (field crops and poultry), in addition to anthracite coal mining.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, the January 2004 unemployment rate in Northumberland County was 8.1 percent. This figure is higher than the 6.1 percent for Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a whole. At the same time, the unemployment rate for the United States was placed at 6.3 percent.
The median effective household buying income or disposable income after federal taxes in Northumberland County is currently estimated to be $28,845. This is below the statewide median level of $36,933. It is estimated that 28.8 percent of the 39,100 households have an effective buying income under $35,000 annually, while 19.7 percent of households have yearly EBI in excess of $50,000.
Linkages Northumberland County benefits from an adequate transportation system linking the region to the rest of the nation. Northumberland County is within 250 miles of six of the nation's top 25 markets including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Newark. Sunbury, the county seat, is a major hub for motor traffic in this region. PA Routes 61 and 209 traverse east and west throughout the county, while PA State Route 225, 15 and 11 are the primary north/south thoroughfares. Additional major highways found within the county include PA State Routes 147, 45, 522 and 35.
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
VALUATION SERVICES 7
Cultural, Educational, Recreational Resources Educational resources abound in Northumberland County, with seven colleges and universities located within a one hour’s drive. Northumberland's most visible attributes are its waterways and forests. The West Branch of the Susquehanna is recognized as a superb bass fishery while smaller streams, like White Deer and Penn's Creek are excellent trout streams. Boating on the Susquehanna has become popular and the Fish Commission has developed access ramps at many locations along the river. The impoundment of the north and west branches of the Susquehanna at Sunbury is a busy boating area complete with marina and boat rentals.
Conclusion Northumberland County is going through a restructuring period as a result of the decline of coal as an energy source. While the population is expected to remain basically stable over the near term, unemployment is high relative to state and national averages. However, the economic development agencies throughout the county are committed to attract new investments. Highway transportation is good and utilities are adequate for many development opportunities. Additionally, there are adequate recreational and educational opportunities in the area. It is our conclusion that the long-term trends of the region are stable.

Businesses immediately surrounding the subject property include a Texaco gas station as well as a number of local sales and service-oriented retailers. Although no formal market studies exist for the local marketplace, it appears that the occupancy rate of competitive buildings was in the vicinity of 90.0 percent. As West 3rd Street is virtually 100 percent built-up, there was no new commercial construction along this roadway. The balance of the local market area consists of residential development primarily situated along the secondary roadways as well as vacant rural land.
Local Area Characteristics According to the 2000 Census, the population for Mount Carmel Borough was 6,390 persons. This represents an 11.9 percent decline from the 1990 Census figure of 7,254 persons.
Special Hazards or Adverse Influences We are not aware of any atypical or unusual detrimental influences, such as land fills, flooding, noise pollution, air pollution or chemical factories or storage in the immediate neighborhood of the subject.
Conclusion The subject property is situated at the southeast corner of West 3rd Street and South Maple Street in Mount Carmel Borough, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. In addition, the subject property contains a parking lot situated at the northeast corner of the same intersection. The trend over the recent past has been one of stabilization after a period of steady decline. Overall, the trend for the local marketplace appears to be stable.

OFFICE MARKET ANALYSIS
Local Overview Mount Carmel is an older Borough situated in the northeast section of Pennsylvania. Office users are typically local tenants, such as real estate agents, insurance brokers, attorneys and small business people. Because of its size and local character of its tenants, there are no published statistics on vacancy, rental rates and lease terms. But our survey of nearby buildings indicated that vacancy rate appeared to be approximately 10.0 percent for similar type space.
Rental Rates and Terms Local brokers indicate that rental rates generally range between $8 and $15 per square foot for office space. In addition, terms typically last from one and five years. Expense structures vary. Some leases are completely gross, with the landlord paying all operating expenses. The more common lease structure is that the tenant pays for increases in some or all operating expenses over the first (base) year of the lease. Occasionally, the tenant is required to pay all operating expenses (triple net). However, the net lease structure is more common in newly constructed single story office buildings in campus settings.
Tenant Improvement Costs Tenant improvement costs vary. New tenants in older buildings such as the subject have a minimal tenant allowance intended to cover painting the walls and cleaning or replacing carpets. That cost could range between $2 and $5 per square foot. Buildings that can command a higher rent due to age, location, condition and parking will also often have a higher tenant improvement costs, ranging up to $10 to $20 per square foot.
Leasing Commissions The standard leasing commission in this marketplace is based upon a percentage of the rent paid. The norm is 6% of the first year’s rent, 5% of the second year’s rent, 4% of the third year’s rent and 3% for each subsequent year. For renewals, half that amount is anticipated. The leasing commission is typically paid half at signing and the remaining at occupancy.
The Subject Property While the subject property is currently utilized as a bank branch, its multi story design is considered less functional by current standards than a one-story design. If the subject were to become vacant, it would most likely be used for office space.

Design and Functionality: The subject was originally constructed as a bank building. Its multi-story design is considered less functional for modern bank operations than a one-story structure. While it can still be utilized for bank operations, it is anticipated that at some future date, it will be more functional for general office space. In addition, the building contains a partial basement level. We would note that the third floor office space was in shell-like condition as of the date of inspection. However, it appears that this space could be renovated and rented. We have estimated a tenant improvement allowance for this portion of the building of $15.00 per square foot.
Actual Age: 39 years
Effective Age: 25 years
Expected Economic Life: 50 years
Remaining Economic Life: 25 years
Americans With Disabilities Act The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not made, nor are we qualified to make a compliance survey of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey 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. Since we have not been provided with the results of a survey, we did not analyze the results of possible non-compliance.
Hazardous Substances We are not aware of any potentially hazardous materials (such as formaldehyde foam insulation, asbestos insulation, radon gas emitting materials, or other potentially hazardous materials) which may have been used in the construction of the improvements. However, we are not qualified to detect such materials and urge the client to employ an expert in the field to determine if such hazardous materials exist.

REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
The property is subject to the taxing jurisdiction of Northumberland County. The assessors' parcel identification numbers are 7-2-4-104 and 4-2-1-246. The assessment and taxes for the property are presented below:
PROPERTY TAX DATA (2004/2005)
2004Assessed Value
Total: $166,225Tax Rate 0.13235Total Property Taxes $22,000
Building Area ( SF ) 14,000Property Taxes per Square Foot $1.57
Total taxes for the property are $22,000, or $1.57 per square foot. Based upon tax burdens on properties in the market that are similar to the subject, the subject’s real estate taxes appear to be reasonable. Based upon historical trends, we have assumed taxes will increase 3.00 percent per annum over the projection period.
The current assessment-to-value ratio in Northumberland County is 50.0 percent. Thus, the subject’s assessment indicates a market value estimate by the taxing authority of $332,450 or $23.75 per square foot. Based on our subsequent analysis, it would appear that the subject property is favorably assessed.
Assessments in Pennsylvania are done irregularly and on a countywide basis. Therefore, a sale of the subject would not trigger a re-assessment. However, a substantial renovation could cause a re-assessment. When a building owner applies to a local township for a building permit for renovation, this information is forwarded to the county assessor. A re-assessment would typically be based primarily on the costs of the renovation.
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 1 6
ZONING
The property is zoned C-2, Commercial by the City of Mount Carmel Borough. Permitted uses within this district include a wide variety of office, retail and commercial development. Zoning regulations imposed within this district are as follows:
ZONING REGULATIONS Minimum Lot Area: None Minimum Yard Requirements: Front: Side: Rear:
None None None
Maximum Building Height: 6 stories or 65 feet Maximum Building Coverage: 75%
We are not experts in the interpretation of complex zoning ordinances but the property appears to be a legal, conforming use based on our review of public information. The determination of compliance is beyond the scope of a real estate appraisal.
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.
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 1 7
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Definition Of Highest And Best Use According to The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Third Edition (1993), 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.
Highest And Best Use Criteria 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
The first test concerns permitted uses. According to our understanding of the zoning ordinance, noted earlier in this report, the site may legally be improved with structures that accommodate a variety of commercial development. Aside from the site's zoning regulations, we are not aware of any legal restrictions that limit the potential uses of the subject.
Physically Possible
The second test is what is physically possible. As discussed in the "Site Description," section of the report, the site's size, soil, topography, etc. do not physically limit its use. The subject site is of adequate shape and size to accommodate most permitted uses.
Financial Feasibility and Maximal Productivity
The third and fourth tests are what is financially feasible and what will produce the highest net return. 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 Considering the subject site’s physical characteristics and location, as well as the state of the local market, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject site as though vacant is commercial development.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 1 8
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, the existing building adds value to the site as if vacant, therefore dictating a continuation of its current use. In conclusion, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the subject property as improved is as it is currently developed.

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 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.
VALUATION PROCESS
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 2 0
ncome 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 for the vacant space. Deductions then are made for vacancy and collection loss and operating expenses. The resulting net operating income is divided by an overall capitalization rate to derive an opinion of value for the subject property. The capitalization rate represents the relationship between net operating income and value. This method is referred to as Direct Capitalization.
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.
Summary This appraisal employs all three typical approaches to value: the Cost Approach, 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 all approaches would be considered meaningful and applicable in developing a credible value conclusion.
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.

We used the Sales Comparison Approach to develop an opinion of land value. In this method, we analyzed prices buyers have recently paid for similar sites in the market, as well as examined current offerings. In making comparisons, we adjusted the sale prices for differences between this site and the comparable sites. If the comparable was superior to the subject, a downward adjustment was made to the comparable sale. If inferior, an upward adjustment was made. We present on the following pages a summary of pertinent details of sites recently sold that we compared to the subject site.
In the valuation of the subject site’s fee simple interest, the Sales Comparison Approach has been used to establish prices being paid for comparably zoned land. The most widely used and market oriented unit of comparison for properties with characteristics similar to those of the subject is the sale price per square foot of land area. All transactions utilized in this analysis are analyzed on this basis.
The major elements of comparison utilized to value the subject site include the property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into the transaction, the conditions or motivations surrounding the sale, changes in market conditions since the sale, the location of the real estate, its utility and the physical characteristics of the property.
Discussion of Comparable Sales
Comparable Sale No. 1
This is the sale of a 509,652 square foot parcel located along Columbia Boulevard (Route 11) in Bloomsburg, PA. This property is in the Commercial zoning district. Dillon Floral Corp, First Eastern Bank sold the site in August 2002 for a price of $2,024,125 or $3.97 per square foot of land area. The site has average utility and public utilities are all available. After all adjustments, this sale indicated an adjusted unit value of $3.36 per square foot. Overall, this sale was adjusted downward for location and utility and upward due to its larger size.
Comparable Sale No. 2
This is the sale of a 3,900 square foot parcel located at Lehigh & Oak Street in Frackville, PA. This property is in the Commercial zoning district. Zack M. Fran sold the property in October 2001 for a price of $19,900 or $5.10 per square foot of land area. The site has good utility and public utilities are all available. After all adjustments, this sale indicated an adjusted unit value of $3.87 per square foot. This sale was adjusted upward for its larger size and downward for its superior commercial utility.
Comparable Sale No. 3
This is the sale of a 138,956 square foot parcel located along the 2200 Block of West Front Street (Route 11) in Bloomsburg, PA. This property is in the Commercial zoning district. Daisey Burke sold the property to Dr. Definnis in August 2000 for a price of $515,000 or $3.71 per square foot of land area. The site has good utility and public utilities are all available. After all adjustments, this sale indicated an adjusted unit value of $2.91 per square foot. This sale was adjusted downward for its superior commercial utility and better location and upward for its larger size.
LAND VALUATION
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 2 3
Conclusion of Site Value After adjustments, the comparable land sales reflect unit prices ranging from $2.91 to $3.87 per square foot ($126,799 to $168,503 per acre), with an average of $3.38 per square foot ($147,198 per acre).
Placing equal emphasis on each sale, we conclude that the indicated value by the Sales Comparison Approach is as follows:
Square Feet Acres
Land Area: 16,502 .38 Concluded Unit Value: X $3.00 X $130,680 Indicated Land Value: $49,506 $49,506 Rounded Land Value: $50,000 $50,000

COST APPROACH
Methodology The Cost Approach is based on the principle of substitution, which states that no prudent person will pay more for a property than the cost of acquiring a site and constructing, without undue delay, an equally desirable and useful property. The steps have been outlined in the Valuation Process section of this report. We have previously developed an opinion of land value of $50,000.
Replacement Cost New (RCN) Our opinion of replacement cost new is based on the Calculator Section in Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized publication containing construction costs for all types of improvements. Base costs are revised monthly and adjustment factors are provided to reflect regional and local cost variations.
Base Building Costs
The published costs include all direct costs for the base structure, tenant improvements, and the following indirect costs:
1. Plans, specifications, and building permits, including engineer's and architect's fees;
2. Interest on construction loan during the construction period;
3. Sales tax on materials; and
4. Contractor's overhead and profit, including worker's compensation, fire and liability insurance, unemployment insurance, etc.
These base building costs, adjusted for any unique building characteristics and cost multipliers, are presented in the cost summary chart at the end of this section.
Site Improvement Costs
Site improvement costs are not included in our Base Building Cost opinion. These include landscaping, asphalt paving, walkways, etc. Site improvement costs are estimated at $2.00 per square foot of land area or $33,004.
Other Indirect Costs
Other indirect costs not included in Base Building Costs are developer overhead, property taxes, permanent loan fees, legal costs, developer fees, contingencies, and lease-up and marketing costs.
Research into these costs leads to the conclusion that an average property requires an allowance for other indirect costs of between 5.00 percent and 10.00 percent of Base Building Costs plus Site Improvements Costs. We have chosen to use 5.00 percent in our analysis.
Entrepreneurial Profit
Entrepreneurial profit represents the return to the developer for taking the construction and lease-up risk. Based upon our discussions with developers in the local market, this figure tends to range between 10.00 percent to 20.00 percent of Base Building, Site Improvement and Other Indirect Costs. We have chosen to use 15.00 percent in our analysis.

Accrued Depreciation There are three sources of accrued depreciation:
Physical Deterioration: We have used the economic age-life method to develop an opinion of physical deterioration. In the Improvements Description section of this report, we developed an opinion that the effective age of the subject to be 25 years and the economic life to be 50 years. This results in a physical deterioration of 50.00 percent (effective age divided by economic life).
Functional Obsolescence: The subject was originally constructed as a bank building. Its multi-story design is considered less functional for modern bank operations than a one-story structure. While it can still be utilized for bank operations, it is anticipated that at some future date, it will be more functional for general office space. Therefore, functional obsolescence is 25.00 percent.
External Obsolescence: Based upon a review of the specific location of the subject as well as the local bank branch/office market, the subject property is not affected by external obsolescence.
Total Depreciation: The sum of these elements of accrued depreciation is 75.00 percent.
Stabilization Expense: The subject property is not operating at a stabilized occupancy level. As such, we have made the appropriate deduction associated with leasing up the subject to a more market-oriented occupancy level. This deduction accounts for rent loss, shortfall in operating expense reimbursement, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. In the case of the subject property, this stabilization expense is placed at $119,131.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Methodology In the Sales Comparison Approach, we developed an opinion of value by comparing the subject property with similar, recently sold properties in the surrounding or competing area. Inherent in this approach is the principle of substitution, which states 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 arm’s-length transactions between willing and knowledgeable buyers and sellers, we can identify value and price trends. The basic steps of this approach are:
1. Research recent, relevant property sales and current offerings throughout the competitive area;
2. Select and analyze properties that are similar to the property appraised, analyzing changes in economic conditions that may have occurred between the sale date and the date of value, and other physical, functional, or locational factors;
3. Identify sales that include favorable financing and calculate the cash equivalent price;
4. Reduce the sale prices to a common unit of comparison such as price per square foot of net rentable area, effective gross income multiplier, or net income per square foot;
5. Make appropriate comparative adjustments to the prices of the comparable properties to relate them to the property being appraised; and
6. Interpret the adjusted sales data and draw a logical value conclusion.
The most widely used and market-oriented unit of comparison for properties such as the subject is the sales price per square foot of net rentable area. All comparable sales were analyzed on this basis. On the following pages we present a summary of the improved properties that we compared to the subject property, a map showing their locations, and the adjustment process.
Due to the nature of the subject property and the level of detail available for the comparable data, we have elected to analyze the comparables through application of a traditional adjustment grid utilizing percentage adjustments.
The sales that we have utilized represent the best available information that could be compared to the subject property. The major elements of comparison for an analysis of this type include the property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into a particular transaction, the conditions or motivations surrounding the sale, changes in market conditions since the sale, the location of the real estate, its physical traits and the economic characteristics of the property. We have made a downward adjustment to those comparables considered superior to the subject. Conversely, an upward adjustment was made to those comparables considered to be inferior.

Discussion of Comparable Sales
Comparable Sale No. 1
This is the June 2002 sale of an office property located at 85 East Elizabeth Avenue in the City of Bethlehem, PA. The site contains 76,230 square feet and is improved with an 86,000 square foot building. The improvements were constructed in 1967 and are of average quality. The property sold from Elizabeth Avenue Associates, LLC. to Diversified Capital - Bethlehem for $3,475,000 or $40.41 per square foot. After all adjustments, this comparable indicated an adjusted unit value of $47.20 per square foot. This sale was adjusted upward due to its larger size and improved market conditions and downward for its superior condition.
Comparable Sale No. 2
This is the November 2001 sale of an office property located at 8 West Market Street in the City of Wilkes-Barre, PA. The site contains 46,174 square feet and is improved with a 170,000 square foot building. The improvements were constructed in 1913 and are of average quality. The property sold from Mellon Bank, NA to Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania for $4,000,000 or $23.53 per square foot. After all adjustments, this comparable indicated an adjusted unit value of $30.52 per square foot. This sale was adjusted upward for its larger size and improved market conditions.
Comparable Sale No. 3
This is the January 2001 sale of an office property located at 17 West Broad Street in the City of Bethlehem, PA. The site contains 37,462 square feet and is improved with a 131,550 square foot building. The improvements were constructed in 1974, and are of average quality. The property sold from Flatrock Partners, LP. to Diversified Capital - Bethlehem for $7,200,000 or $54.73 per square foot. After all adjustments, this comparable indicated an adjusted unit value of $60.64 per square foot. This sale was adjusted upward for its larger size and downward for its superior condition. In addition, this sale was adjusted downward as the building was 100 percent master leased to a credit tenant at the time of sale.
Comparable Sale No. 4
This is the January 2001 sale of an office property located at 101-111 North Fifth Street in the City of Reading, PA. The site contains 20,909 square feet and is improved with a 110,800 square foot building. The improvements were constructed in 1914 and are of average quality.

Summary of Percentage Adjustment Method After adjustments the comparable improved sales reflect unit prices ranging from $30.52 to $60.64 per square foot with an average adjusted price of $43.79 per square foot. Equal emphasis was placed on each sale.
However, the subject property is not operating at a stabilized occupancy level. As such, we have made the appropriate deduction associated with leasing up the subject to a more market-oriented occupancy level. This deduction accounts for rent loss, shortfall in operating expense reimbursement, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. In the case of the subject property, this stabilization expense is placed at $119,131.
Therefore, we conclude that the value via the Sales Comparison Approach, after making the necessary deduction, is as follows:
Net Rentable Area: 14,000 Concluded Price Per Square Foot: x $45.00 Indicated Value: $630,000 Less Stabilization Expense: $119,131
Rounded: $500,000 Per Square Foot: $35.71

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).
Based upon the above, both methods are appropriate in this assignment.
Occupancy Status Wachovia Bank will occupy 9,000 square feet or 64.29 percent of the total NRA for a 20 year term at $5.92 per square foot per annum (Base Rent) increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years of the term. The lease is absolute net whereby the tenant is responsible for all operating expenses (including management) and real estate taxes.
The following chart summarizes the annualized attained base rent and occupancy level of the leases in place as of the appraisal date.

Conclusion of Market Rent
We have analyzed recent leases negotiated in competitive buildings in the marketplace, which range from $7.79 to $9.00 per square foot, with an average of $8.43. Recovery clauses for the comparable leases are typically written on a full service basis, whereby the tenant pays for increases over base year expenses and electric. Landlords are responsible for base year expenses and capital expenditures. Comparables #1 and #2 were adjusted upward for better quality space (assuming the shell space at the subject is fit-out with the assumed TI). In addition comparable #3 was adjusted upward as it is a triple net lease.
Based upon our analysis of the comparables, we have concluded to a market rent for the Wachovia space of $10.00 per square foot on a full service basis. This assumes a full service lease with a 5 year term.

Lease Term (years) 5
Miscellaneous Revenue None.
Expense Reimbursements Wachovia is responsible for their pro-rata share of real estate taxes and operating expenses (including management). All other existing tenants are assumed to pay increases over base year expenses. Future tenants are assumed to be responsible for their pro rata share of increases over base year real estate taxes and operating expenses while the landlord is responsible for base year expenses and capital expenditures.
Vacancy and Collection Loss Based upon the current vacancy in the market, and our perception of future market vacancy, we have projected a global stabilized vacancy rate of 8.00 percent for all non Bank space. We have also projected a collection loss of 2.00 percent for all non Bank space. The total vacancy and credit loss is therefore 10.00 percent on all non Wachovia space. No vacancy or collection loss was taken on the Wachovia space over their 20 year lease term as the Bank is an investment grade tenant. Upon expiration of this lease, we have assumed a market vacant and collection loss figure.
Absorption of Vacant Space The subject property is presently 64.29 percent occupied. We have estimated the vacant space to be absorbed within nine months.
Operating Expenses We have developed an opinion of the property’s annual operating expenses after reviewing the operating performance of similar buildings. We analyzed each item of expense and developed an opinion as to what a typical informed investor would consider normal. We were provided with the 2003 actual historical expenses on the subject property, but have relied on the expenses of comparable properties as well as published statistics provided by IREM.
Our forecast, and our opinion of Year 2 (stabilized) income and operating expenses are presented on the following page.

V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 4 1
capitalization rate, we have considered the amount of space that Wachovia occupies over the 20 year lease term.
Direct Capitalization Method Conclusion In the Direct Capitalization Method, we developed an opinion of market value by dividing Year 2 net operating income by a 8.50 percent overall capitalization rate. Our conclusion via the Direct Capitalization Method is as follows:
NET OPERATING INCOME $68,755 $4.91
Sensitivity Analysis (0.50% OAR Spread) Value $/SF NRABased on Low-Range of 8.00% $859,438 $61.39Based on Most Probable Range of 8.50% $808,882 $57.78Based on High-Range of 9.00% $763,944 $54.57
Reconciled Value $808,882 $57.78Less Stabilization Expense: $119,131 $8.51Indicated Value: $689,751 $49.27Rounded to nearest $25,000 $700,000 $50.00
Direct Capitalization Method
Once again, the subject property is not operating at a stabilized occupancy level. Because we have utilized Year 2 income and expenses (the first stabilized year), we have made the appropriate deduction associated with leasing up the subject over the first year. This deduction accounts for rent loss, shortfall in operating expense reimbursement, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. In the case of the subject property, this stabilization expense is placed at $119,131.

Discounted Cash Flow Method In the Discounted Cash Flow Method, we employed Argus software to model the income characteristics of the property and to make a variety of cash flow assumptions. We attempted to reflect the most likely investment assumptions of typical buyers and sellers in this particular market segment. The following table illustrates the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis.

Leasing Commissions: 4.2 percent of total rent for new leases; 2.1 percent of total rent for
renewal leases. Tenant Improvements: The second and third floor office space was in shell-like condition as of
the date of inspection. However, it appears that this space could be renovated and rented. We have estimated an initial tenant improvement allowance for this portion of the building of $15.00 per square foot.
Contract Rent Increases: Leases are assumed to flat. Expense Reimbursements: Future tenants are assumed to be responsible for their pro rata share of
increases over base year real estate taxes and operating expenses while the landlord is responsible for base year expenses and capital expenditures.
Capital Expenditures: The building was in average condition at the time of our inspection. We do not foresee any major capital expenditures in the near future.
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 in year 22 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.

Property Type Date Terminal Cap Rate Range
Terminal Cap Rate Average
National Suburban Office Q1-2004 8.25%-11.5% 9.71% National CBD Office Q1-2004 7.5%-11.0% 9.27% National Net Lease Q1-2004 7.5%-10.0% 9.30%
As a result, we have applied a 9.50 percent terminal capitalization rate in our analysis.
Discount Rate Selection
As previously discussed, Wachovia Bank leased a large part or the entire building for a 20 year term. According to Standard and Poors, they are currently considered to be an investment grade tenant with rating of A.
In order to determine an appropriate yield rate to discount our cash flow projections, we have researched Wachovia Bank’s long term bond yields and compared them to U.S. Treasuries. According to Bloomberg, Wachovia Bank currently has bonds maturing August 15, 2015 (in approximately 11.2 years) that are yielding 5.813 percent. Current U.S. Treasuries for a 11.2 year term are yielding 4.797 percent. Therefore, the premium over the U.S. Treasury yield associated with the Wachovia Bank bond yield is 1.016 percent (5.813% less 4.797%). Since the Wachovia Bank lease is for 20 years, we have looked at the U.S. Treasury yield on a 20 year term. As of June 3, 2004, 20 year treasuries are yielding 5.15 percent. When we add to this the Wachovia premium of 1.016 percent, a rate of 6.166 percent is derived. We have then added an additional premium of 100 to 200 basis points to this rate for illiquidity and management, which results in a yield rate range of 7.166 percent to 8.166 percent.
We have also looked at the Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey which indicates the following internal rates of return.
Property Type Date IRR Range
IRR Average
National Suburban Office Q1-2004 9.0%-12.50% 10.82% National CBD Office Q1-2004 8.5%-12.25% 10.51% National Net Lease Q1-2004 9.5%-12.00% 10.64%
The above table summarizes the investment parameters of some of the most prominent investors currently acquiring similar investment properties in the United States. We realize that this type of survey reflects target rather than transactional rates. Transactional rates are usually difficult to obtain in the verification process and are actually only target rates of the buyer at the time of sale. The property’s performance will ultimately determine the actual yield at the time of sale after a specific holding period.
Based upon the amount of income derived from the Wachovia Bank lease as it relates to total cash flow, we have discounted our cash flow and reversionary value projections at an internal rate of return of 9.00 percent.
Discounted Cash Flow Method Conclusion
Based on the discount rates selected, market value is estimated at $550,000, rounded. Our cash flow projections and value derivation are presented on the following pages.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH

Reconciliation Within the Income Capitalization Approach
SUMMARY OF INCOME CAPITALIZATION METHODS Value Per Sq. Ft.Value Indicated by the Discounted Cash Flow Method: $550,000 $39.29Value Indicated by the Direct Capitalization Method: $700,000 $50.00
We have placed greater reliance on the discounted cash flow analysis. Therefore, our opinion of market value via the Income Capitalization Approach is as follows:
Value Conclusion: $550,000 $39.29
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 5 0
RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE OPINION
Valuation Methodology Review and Reconciliation This appraisal employs all three typical approaches to value: the Cost Approach, 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 all approaches would be considered meaningful and applicable in developing a credible value conclusion.
The approaches indicated the following:
Cost Approach: $600,000 Sales Comparison Approach: $500,000 Income Capitalization Approach: $550,000
Because the subject property is leased on a long-term basis to a credit tenant, we have given most weight to the Income Capitalization Approach This mirrors the methodology that a purchaser of a property like the subject would place most emphasis on.
Based on our Complete 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 June 17, 2004 was:
FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$550,000
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 5 1
“AS DARK” VALUE
In order to estimate the “As Dark” Value, we have utilized the Direct Capitalization Method of the Income Capitalization Approach. We first derived the Fee Simple Stabilized Market Value by estimating market lease terms for the entire building which is assumed to be vacant. We then deducted rent loss based upon an assumed average lease-up period, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and operating expenses and real estate taxes over the absorption period to derive “As Dark” Value.
Our market rent and expense estimates were based upon the rent and expense comparables cited in the previous section of the report.
Our vacancy estimate was based upon current market vacancy and our perception of average vacancy over the long term.
The capitalization rate was based upon the improved sales illustrated in the Sales Comparison Approach and the Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey previously cited.
We have assumed a lease-up to stabilized occupancy of 9 months. As this lease-up is assumed to occur evenly over the 9 month absorption period, we have used an average of 9 months to calculate rent loss.
Tenant improvements, leasing commissions and holding costs were based up on our conclusions within the previous section of the report.
Please refer to the following two charts for our derivation of “As Dark” Value.

V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 5 4
INSURABLE VALUE
Insurable Value is directly related to the portion of the real estate which is covered under the asset’s insurance policy. We have based this opinion on the building’s replacement cost new (RCN) which has no direct correlation with its actual market value.
The replacement cost new is the total construction cost of a new building built using modern technology, materials, standards and design, but built to the same specifications of and with the same utility as the building being appraised. For insurance purposes, replacement cost new includes all direct costs necessary to construct the building improvements. Items which are not considered include land value, site improvements, indirect costs, accrued depreciation and entrepreneurial profit. To develop an opinion of insurable value, exclusions for below-grade foundations and architectural fees must be deducted from replacement cost new.
We developed an opinion of replacement cost new by using the Calculator Cost Method developed by Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized cost estimating company which estimates construction costs for all types of improvements. Marshall Valuation Service revises its cost factors monthly and adjusts them to reflect regional and local cost variations.

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
"Appraisal" means the appraisal report and opinion of value stated therein, to which these Assumptions and Limiting Conditions are annexed.
"Property" means the subject of the Appraisal.
"C&W" means Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. or its subsidiary which issued the Appraisal.
"Appraiser" or “Appraisers” means the employee(s) of C&W who prepared and signed the Appraisal.
General Assumptions This appraisal is made subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions:
1. No opinion is intended to be expressed and no responsibility is assumed for the legal description or for any matters which 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.
2. The information contained in the Appraisal or upon which the Appraisal is based has been gathered from sources the Appraiser assumes to be reliable and accurate. Some of such information may have been provided by the owner of the Property. Neither the Appraiser nor C&W shall be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of such information, including the correctness of opinions, dimensions, sketches, exhibits and factual matters.
3. The opinion of value is only as of the date stated in the Appraisal. Changes since that date in external and market factors or in the Property itself can significantly affect property value.
4. The Appraisal is to be used in whole and not in part. No part of the Appraisal shall be used in conjunction with any other appraisal. Publication of the Appraisal or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of C&W is prohibited. Except as may be otherwise stated in the letter of engagement, the Appraisal may not be used by any person other than the party to whom it is addressed or for purposes other than that for which it was prepared. No part of the Appraisal shall be conveyed to the public through advertising, or used in any sales or promotional material without C&W's prior written consent. Reference to the Appraisal Institute or to the MAI designation is prohibited, except as it relates to the collaboration between C&W and the Appraisal Institute relative to the Real Estate Outlook publication.
5. 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.
6. The Appraisal 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 analyzed in the Appraisal; 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 Appraisal is based.
7. The physical condition of the improvements analyzed within the Appraisal is based on visual inspection by the Appraiser or other person identified in the Appraisal. C&W assumes no
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
V A L U A T I O N S E R V I C E S 5 6
responsibility for the soundness of structural members nor for the condition of mechanical equipment, plumbing or electrical components.
8. The projected potential gross income referred to in the Appraisal may be based on lease summaries provided by the owner or third parties. The Appraiser has not reviewed lease documents and assumes no responsibility for the authenticity or completeness of lease information provided by others. C&W recommends that legal advice be obtained regarding the interpretation of lease provisions and the contractual rights of parties.
9. The projections of income and expenses are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are the Appraiser's opinion of current market thinking on future income and expenses. The Appraiser and C&W make no warranty or representation that these projections 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 Appraisal, envisages for the future in terms of rental rates, expenses, supply and demand.
10. Unless otherwise stated in the Appraisal, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic materials which may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the improvements or may be located at or about the Property was not analyzed 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.
11. Unless otherwise stated in the Appraisal, compliance with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not been analyzed 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.
12. Additional work requested by the client beyond the scope of this assignment will be billed at our prevailing hourly rate. Preparation for court testimony, update valuations, additional research, depositions, travel or other proceedings will be billed at our prevailing hourly rate, plus reimbursement of expenses.
13. The reader acknowledges that Cushman & Wakefield of Pennsylvania has been retained hereunder as an independent contractor to perform the services described herein and nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to create any other relationship between us. This assignment shall be deemed concluded and the services hereunder completed upon delivery to you of the appraisal report discussed herein.
14. This study has not been prepared for use in connection with litigation and this document is not suitable for use in a litigation action. Accordingly, no rights to expert testimony, pretrial or other conferences, deposition, or related services are included with this appraisal. If, as a result of this undertaking, C&W or any of its principals, its appraisers or consultants are requested or required to provide any litigation services, such shall be subject to the provisions of the C&W engagement letter or, if not specified therein, subject to the reasonable availability of C&W and/or said principals or appraisers at the time and shall further be subject to the party or parties requesting or requiring such services paying the then-applicable professional fees and expenses of C&W either in accordance with the provisions of the engagement letter or arrangements at the time, as the case may be.

Extraordinary Assumptions An extraordinary assumption is defined 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 the integrity of data used in an analysis” (USPAP).
The appraisal employs the following extraordinary assumptions: 1) All existing leases to third party tenants on non Wachovia Bank space are assumed to be gross whereby the landlord is responsible for all expenses. All renewal options on this space are not assumed to be exercised. 2) All space on a month to month basis is assumed to be vacant. 3) The annual Base Rent for the Wachovia Bank space over the first 5 years of the lease is assumed to be $5.92 per square foot increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years over the 20 year initial lease term. 4) We have assumed the 20 year Wachovia Bank lease commences as of our effective date of valuation and that none of the six 5 year renewal options are exercised as it is uncertain as to the Bank’s needs in 20 years. 5) The building square footage used to estimate market value is based upon information supplied to us by the buyer. We have assumed that this figure is an accurate reflection of the subject building's size.
Hypothetical Conditions A hypothetical condition is defined 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 the integrity of data used in an analysis” (USPAP).
This appraisal employs the following hypothetical condition: 1) As the subject property is leased, the "As Dark" Value assumes the entire property is vacant and available for lease at current market terms.

In accordance with regulations adopted by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA), surfacing material (including sprayed material and troweled on acoustical plaster, fireproofing,etc.), thermal system insulation, and flooring materials (vinyl and asphalt) used in buildings constructedno later than 1980 are presumed to contain potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), unless testingproves otherwise. After 1980, the aforementioned materials are not presumed to be ACMs. However,certain types of products including, but not limited to, acoustical ceiling tile, vinyl floor tile, and drywallcould potentially still contain ACMs.
A visual inspection of accessible building materials was conducted by ENTRIX in an effort to identifymaterials suspected of containing asbestos. The visual inspection did not include roofing materials orinaccessible spaces within the site building. Determination of whether Subject Property buildings containasbestos can only be ascertained by performing an asbestos survey.
Yes No Site buildings were constructed prior to 1980, and therefore, ACMs may have beenused.
Yes No Potential ACMs were visually identified at the Subject Property for buildingsconstructed prior to 1980.
Applicable details regarding potential ACMs are provided below:
Location of potential ACMs: Each floor and the basement of the main bank building and the motorbank building.Potential ACMs include the following:
vinyl tile floor/mastic acoustical ceiling tile pipe/duct insulation spray-on insulation plaster materials/drywall other:

Applicable photographs: Appendix A, Photograph(s) #13 and #15.
2.3.14 Radon
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, radioactive gas that results from the decay of Radium-226.Radium occurs naturally in small quantities in most rocks and soil, radon is continuously released intosoil, underground water, and outdoor air. Radon is chemically inert and moves freely without combiningwith other materials. In indoor air, radon emitted from soil is quickly diluted to very low concentrations.Relatively high concentrations of radon can accumulate inside buildings where radon-containing soil gasinfiltrates buildings through openings such as cracks, joints and utility penetrations. As a comparison,average outdoor radon concentrations tend to range from approximately 0.1 to 0.2 pico-Curies per liter(pCi/L).
According to the EDR report, the Subject Property is located in Federal EPA Zone:
Zone 1 indoor average level > 4 pCi/L. Zone 2 indoor average level >=2 pCi/L and <=4 pCi/L. Zone 3 indoor average level <2 pCi/L.
Comments regarding radon: Radon levels specific to the Subject Property can only be determined throughradon sampling and testing.

5.0 SUMMARY OF RECOGNIZED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ENTRIX was retained by American Financial Realty Trust to conduct a Phase I ESA of the commercialproperty located at 50 and 51 West 3rd Street in the Borough of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania. TheSubject Property was inspected by ENTRIX staff on May 27, 2004, in an effort to identify potentialenvironmental issues that may exist due to current and past activities conducted on or near the SubjectProperty. In association with the site inspection, the assessment included regulatory agency recordsreview and inquiry, and related historical research.
Based on the investigation, the following environmental issues were identified:
5.1 SUBJECT PROPERTY
Recognized Environmental Condition:
The buildings located on the Subject Property were constructed prior to 1980 and, therefore, ACMs mayhave been used during the building construction.
Recommendation:
An asbestos survey should be considered to determine if ACMs are present. If identified throughsampling and analysis, the ACMs should be abated and/or managed.
Recognized Environmental Condition:
The Subject Property is located in an area of high radon.
Recommendation:
Radon testing should be conducted (at a minimum) to verify whether high levels of radon exist. If highlevels of radon are discovered, the installation of a radon mitigation system should be considered.

RCRIS: Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System. RCRIS includes selective information on sites which generate, transport, store, treat and/or dispose of hazardous waste as defined by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs): generate less than 100 kg of hazardous waste, or less than 1 kg of acutely hazardous waste per month. Small quantity generators (SQGs): generate between 100 kg and 1,000 kg of hazardous waste per month. Large quantity generators (LQGs): generate over 1,000 kilograms (kg) of hazardous waste, or over 1 kg of acutely hazardous waste from the generator off-site to a facility that can recycle, treat, store, or dispose of the waste. TSDFs treat, store, or dispose of the waste.
A review of the RCRIS-SQG list, as provided by EDR, and dated 04/13/2004 has revealed that there are 2 RCRIS-SQG sites within approximately 0.25 miles of the target property.

CERCLIS-NFRAP: CERCLIS No Further Remedial Action PlannedSource: EPATelephone: 703-413-0223As of February 1995, CERCLIS sites designated "No Further Remedial Action Planned" (NFRAP) have been removed
from CERCLIS. NFRAP sites may be sites where, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found,contamination was removed quickly without the need for the site to be placed on the NPL, or the contaminationwas not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action or NPL consideration. EPA has removed approximately25,000 NFRAP sites to lift the unintended barriers to the redevelopment of these properties and has archived themas historical records so EPA does not needlessly repeat the investigations in the future. This policy change ispart of the EPA’s Brownfields Redevelopment Program to help cities, states, private investors and affected citizensto promote economic redevelopment of unproductive urban sites.

US BROWNFIELDS: A Listing of Brownfields SitesSource: Environmental Protection AgencyTelephone: 202-566-2777Included in the listing are brownfields properties addresses by Cooperative Agreement Recipients and brownfields
properties addressed by Targeted Brownfields Assessments. Targeted Brownfields Assessments-EPA’s Targeted BrownfieldsAssessments (TBA) program is designed to help states, tribes, and municipalities--especially those without EPABrownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots--minimize the uncertainties of contamination often associated withbrownfields. Under the TBA program, EPA provides funding and/or technical assistance for environmental assessmentsat brownfields sites throughout the country. Targeted Brownfields Assessments supplement and work with other effortsunder EPA’s Brownfields Initiative to promote cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields. Cooperative AgreementRecipients-States, political subdivisions, territories, and Indian tribes become BCRLF cooperative agreement recipientswhen they enter into BCRLF cooperative agreements with the U.S. EPA. EPA selects BCRLF cooperative agreement recipientsbased on a proposal and application process. BCRLF cooperative agreement recipients must use EPA funds providedthrough BCRLF cooperative agreement for specified brownfields-related cleanup activities.

Recognized Environmental Problem
According to the previously completed Phase I ESA,1 a wood-slatted barrel was found in aroom in the western portion of the basement, containing greenish-white crystalline particlesof approximately one-inch irregular shapes. The barrel was open and the northern side of thebarrel was rotted through. A whitish residue was on the floor around the barrel suggestingthe particles dissolved. Additionally, near the center of the basement, a 20 to 30 gallon steelcontainer was found labeled “metal polish”. The container had no further informationregarding its contents and appeared to be full. The container was somewhat rusty; howeverno leaks were observed.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the a letter to MACTEC Engineering & Consulting, Inc., from Curren, a 25-galloncontainer of metal polish and approximately 50-gallons of rock salt were removed from theSubject Property on August 4, 2004, and are currently being stored at Curren’s storage yard.The containers formerly located on the Subject Property are not likely to haveenvironmentally impacted the Subject Property. Therefore, no further investigation isrecommeded at this time. The letter of documentation from Curren is included in AttachmentB.

The Client contracted with EMG to conduct a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) in order to prepare a Property Condition Report (PCR) of the subject property, Wachovia-Mount Carmel, located at 50 West 3rd Street in Mount Carmel, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. The PCA was performed on October 5, 2004.

Number of Tenant Units One
Floor Area 12,182 SF
Site Area 0.38 acres
Construction Date 1965
Construction Quality Good

Overall Condition Good to poor
Recent Capital Improvements Replaced rooftop unit.
There are a number of immediate repairs and modified capital reserve costs recommended over the evaluation period. These needs are identified in the various sections of this report and are summarized in the attached cost tables. A Project at a Glance summary table is provided as part of the Executive Summary.
According to property management personnel, all interior components relating to the tenant space, including the roof, exterior walls, the parking lot, and related facilities are the responsibility of the tenant to maintain, repair, or replace at the tenant’s own expense. This responsibility also extends to any exterior mechanical, electrical, or plumbing equipment that services the tenant space, such as rooftop HVAC units and wall-mounted electrical equipment.

The following issue requires additional study:
There is a sagging roof beam on the north side of the building. It is recommended that an engineering professional be retained to analyze the existing condition, provide recommendations and, if necessary, estimate the scope and cost of any recommended repairs. The cost to retain an engineering professional is included in the Immediate Repairs Cost Estimate (Table 1). The cost for any possible subsequent repairs cannot be determined until the additional evaluation is performed; therefore, no costs are included in the cost tables.

This section provides estimates for the repair and capital reserves items noted within this PCR.
These estimates are based on invoice or bid documents provided either by the Owner/facility and construction costs developed by construction resources such as R.S. Means and Marshall & Swift, EMG’s experience with past costs for similar properties, city cost indexes, and assumptions regarding future economic conditions.

Based upon site observations, research, and judgment, along with referencing Expected Useful Life (EUL) tables from various industry sources, EMG opines as to when a system or component will most probably necessitate replacement. Accurate historical replacement records, if provided, are typically the best source of information. Exposure to the elements, initial quality and installation, extent of use, the quality and amount of preventive maintenance exercised, etc., are all factors that impact the effective age of a system or component. As a result, a system or component may have an effective age that is greater or less than its actual chronological age. The Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a component or system equals the EUL less its effective age.
Where quantities could not be derived from an actual take-off, lump sum costs or allowances are used. Estimated costs are based on professional judgment and the probable or actual extent of the observed defect, inclusive of the cost to design, procure, construct and manage the corrections.

Immediate repairs are opinions of probable costs that require immediate action as a result of: (1) material existing or potential unsafe conditions, (2) material building or fire code violations, or (3) conditions that, if left unremedied, have the potential to result in or contribute to critical element or system failure within one year or will most probably result in a significant escalation of its remedial cost.
11..33..33.. MMooddiiffiieedd CCaappiittaall RReesseerrvveess
Modified Capital Reserves are for recurring probable expenditures that are not classified as operation or maintenance expenses. The modified capital reserves should be budgeted for in advance on an annual basis. Capital reserves are reasonably predictable both in terms of frequency and cost. However, capital reserves may also include components or systems that have an indeterminable life but nonetheless have a potential liability for failure within an estimated time period.
Modified Capital Reserves exclude systems or components that are estimated to expire after the reserve term and that are not considered material to the structural and mechanical integrity of the subject property. Furthermore, systems and components that are not deemed to have a material effect on the use are also excluded. Costs that are caused by acts of God, accidents, or other occurrences that are typically covered by insurance, rather than reserved for, are also excluded.
Replacement costs are solicited from ownership/property management, EMG’s discussions with service companies, manufacturers' representatives, and previous experience in preparing such schedules for other similar facilities. Costs for work performed by the ownership’s or property management’s maintenance staff are also considered.

EMG’s reserve methodology involves identification and quantification of those systems or components requiring capital reserve funds within the evaluation period. The evaluation period is defined as the effective age plus the reserve term. Additional information concerning system’s or component’s respective replacement costs (in today's dollars), typical expected useful lives, and remaining useful lives were estimated so that a funding schedule could be prepared. The Modified Capital Reserves Schedule presupposes that all recommended remedial work has been performed or that monies for remediation have been budgeted for items defined in the Immediate Repairs Cost Estimate.

The purpose of this report is to assist the Client in evaluating the physical aspects of this property and how its condition may affect the Client’s financial decisions over time. For this PCA, representative samples of the major independent building components were observed and their physical conditions were evaluated in accordance with ASTM E2018-01. These components include the site and building exteriors, representative interior areas, and the interior of the building. The estimated cost for repairs and/or capital reserve items are included in the cost estimates presented in the previous section. All findings relating to these opinions of probable costs are included in the relevant narrative sections of this Report.
The property management staff and code enforcement agencies were interviewed for specific information relating to the physical property, code compliance, available maintenance procedures, available drawings, and other documentation.
The physical condition of building systems and related components is typically defined as being in one of three conditions: Good, Fair, or Poor. For the purposes of this Report, the following definitions are used:
Good = Satisfactory as-is. Requires only routine maintenance during the evaluation period. Repair or replacement may be required due to a system’s estimated useful life.
Fair = Satisfactory as-is. Repair or replacement is required due to current physical condition and/or estimated remaining useful life.
Poor = Immediate repair, replacement, or significant maintenance is required.
Each building system or component is further identified with the following references if costs or other actions are applicable:
RM = Routine maintenance
IR = Immediate Repair recommended
RR = Replacement Reserve cost recommended during the evaluation term
N/A = Not applicable.

ASTM E2018-01 requires that any deviations from the Guide be so stated within the report. EMG’s probable cost threshold limitation is reduced from the Guide’s $3,000 to $1,000, thus allowing for a more comprehensive assessment on smaller scale properties. Therefore, EMG’s opinions of probable costs that are individually less than a threshold amount of $1,000 are typically omitted from this PCR. Comments and estimated costs regarding identified deficiencies relating to life, safety or accessibility items are included regardless of this cost threshold.
In lieu of providing written record of communication forms, personnel interviewed from the facility and government agencies are identified in Section 2.5. Relevant information based on these interviews is included in Sections 2.5. , 3.1. , and other applicable report sections.

Subject to the qualifications stated in this paragraph and elsewhere in this report, the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the property is estimated to be not less than 35 years. The Remaining Useful Life estimate is an expression of a professional opinion and is not a guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied. This estimate is based upon the observed physical condition of the property at the time of EMG’s visit and is subject to the possible effect of concealed conditions or the occurrence of extraordinary events such as natural disasters or other “acts of God” that may occur subsequent to the date of EMG’s site visit.
The Remaining Useful Life for the property is further based on the assumption that: (a) the immediate and future repairs for which replacement reserve funds are recommended are completed in a timely and workman-like manner, and (b) a comprehensive program of preventive and remedial property maintenance is continuously implemented using an acceptable standard of care. The Remaining Useful Life estimate is made only with regard to the expected physical or structural integrity of the improvements on the property, and no opinion regarding economic or market conditions, the present or future appraised value of the property, or its present or future economic utility, is expressed by EMG.

According to Mr. Joseph Bass of the Mount Carmel Building Department, there are no outstanding building code violations on file. The Building Department does not have an annual inspection program. They only inspect new construction, work that requires a building permit, and citizen complaints. A copy of the original Certificate of Occupancy was requested, but was not available.
A review of the zoning classification information at the Mount Carmel Planning Department indicates that the property is located within a C-2, Central Commercial zoning district and is a non-conforming, legal use.
Mount Carmel Fire Department personnel were not available to provide code compliance information. This information has been requested through submission of a written request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). A copy of the request is included in Appendix C. Significant information will be forwarded upon receipt.
According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and dated June 19, 1985 the property is located in Zone C, defined as an area outside the 500-year flood plain with less than 0.2% annual probability of flooding. Annual Probability of Flooding of Less than one percent.
According to the 1997 Uniform Building Code Seismic Zone Map of the United States, the property is located in Seismic Zone 2A, defined as an area of low to moderate probability of damaging ground motion.

Generally, Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination by entities to access and use of “areas of public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” on the basis of disability. Regardless of its age, these areas and facilities must be maintained and operated to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
Buildings completed and occupied after January 26, 1992 are required to comply fully with the ADAAG. Facilities constructed prior to this date are held to the lesser standard of compliance to the extent allowed by structural feasibility and the financial resources available. As an alternative, a reasonable accommodation pertaining to the deficiency must be made.
During the PCA, a limited visual observation for ADA accessibility compliance was conducted. The scope of the visual observation was limited to those areas set forth in EMG’s Accessibility Checklist provided in Appendix D of this report. It is understood by the Client that the limited observations described herein does not comprise a full ADA Compliance Survey, and that such a survey is beyond the scope of EMG’s undertaking. Only a representative sample of areas was observed and, other than as shown on the Accessibility Checklist, actual measurements were not taken to verify compliance.
At a bank property, the areas considered as public accommodation are the site itself, parking, the exterior accessible route up to the building entrance, any interior route up to the tenant entrance, the interior, and the common area restrooms.

The facility does not appear to be accessible with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Elements as defined by the ADAAG that are not accessible as stated within the priorities of Title III are as follows:
Parking
Adequate number of designated handicapped-accessible parking stalls and signage for vans is not provided. (ADAAG Section 4.1.2.5b)
Estimated Cost: 1 @ $220 each = ...................................................................................................................... $220
A full ADA Compliance Survey may reveal additional aspects of the property that are not in compliance.
Corrections of these conditions should be addressed from a liability standpoint, but are not necessarily code violations. The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines concern civil rights issues as they pertain to the disabled and are not a construction code, although many local jurisdictions have adopted the Guidelines as such. The cost to address the achievable items noted above is $220 and is included as a lump sum in the Immediate Repairs Cost Estimate (Table 1).

As part of the PCA, EMG completed a limited, visual assessment for the presence of visible mold growth, conditions conducive to mold growth, or evidence of moisture in readily accessible areas of the property. EMG interviewed property personnel concerning any known or suspected mold contamination, water infiltration, or mildew-like odor problems.
This assessment does not constitute a comprehensive mold survey of the property. The reported observations and conclusions are based solely on interviews with property personnel and conditions observed in readily accessible areas of the property at the time of the assessment. Sampling was not conducted as part of the assessment.
EMG observed the presence of visible, suspect mold growth, and water damage in the areas cited below:
The elevator equipment room in the basement.
Remediation can be conducted by properly trained building maintenance staff. In addition, the source of this moisture should be addressed in order to prevent future mold problems. The estimated costs of corrective action are of a minimal quantity, and consequently, are considered to be part of routine maintenance operations. No other costs are included in the tables.

EMG has completed a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) of the subject property, Wachovia-Mount Carmel, located at 50 West 3rd Street in Mount Carmel, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in order to prepare a Property Condition Report (PCR).
The PCA was performed at the Client's request using methods and procedures consistent with good commercial and customary practice conforming to ASTM E2018-01, Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process. In addition, EMG’s reference to the “Client” follows the ASTM guide’s definition of “User” in all instances pertaining to the published guide. A “User” may include, without limitation, a purchaser, potential tenant, owner, existing or potential mortgagee, lender, or property manager of the subject property.
This report has been prepared to assist in the determination of whether to make a loan evidenced by a note (the “Mortgage Note”) secured by the property referred to in the Report. This Report may be relied upon by: (i) Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (“Lehman”), or an affiliate (“Lehman”); (ii) the trustee of a trust created in connection with a securitization which includes the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii) any other purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest therein. This Report may be, for informational purposes only: (i) provided to any potential purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; (ii) provided to any rating agency, rating securities which represent a beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund that consists of mortgage loans including the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii) referred to, quoted in or included with materials offering for sale the Mortgage Note or an interest therein. There are no third party beneficiaries (intended or unintended) to this Report, except as expressly stated herein. This Report speaks only as of its date.
We have performed our services and prepared this Report in accordance with applicable, general accepted engineering, environmental or appraisal consulting practices. We make no other warranties, either expressed or implied, as to the character and nature of such services and product.
The purpose for which this report shall be used shall be limited to the use as stated in the contract between the client and EMG.
The opinions EMG expresses in this report were formed utilizing the degree of skill and care ordinarily exercised by any prudent architect or engineer in the same community under similar circumstances. EMG assumes no responsibility or liability for the accuracy of information contained within this report that has been obtained from the Client or the Client’s representatives, from other interested parties, or from the public domain. The conclusions presented represent EMG’s professional judgment based on information obtained during the course of this assignment. EMG’s evaluations, analyses, and opinions are not representations regarding the design integrity, structural soundness, or actual value of the property. Factual information regarding operations, conditions, and test data provided by the Client or the Client’s representative has been assumed to be correct and complete. The conclusions presented within this report are based on the data provided, observations made, and conditions that existed specifically on the date of the assessment.
EMG certifies that EMG has no undisclosed interest in the subject property, that EMG’s relationship with the Client is at arms-length, and that EMG’s employment and compensation are not contingent upon the findings or estimated costs to remedy any noted deficiencies due to deferred maintenance and/or any noted component or system replacements.

EMG’s PCA cannot wholly eliminate the uncertainty regarding the presence of physical deficiencies and/or the performance of a subject property’s building systems. Preparation of a PCR in accordance with ASTM E2018-01 is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty regarding the potential for component or system failure and to reduce the potential that such component or system failure may not be initially observed. This PCR was prepared recognizing the inherent subjective nature of EMG’s opinions as to such issues as workmanship, quality of original installation, and estimating the remaining useful life of any given component or system. It should be understood that EMG’s suggested remedy may be determined under time constraints or may be formed without the aid of engineering calculations, testing, exploratory probing, the removal of materials, or design. Furthermore, there may be other alternate or more appropriate schemes or methods to remedy the noted physical deficiencies. EMG’sopinions are generally formed without detailed knowledge from individuals familiar with the performance of noted components or systems.
Any questions regarding this report should be directed to M. Shane Totten at (800) 733-0660, Extension 6653 or [email protected].
