UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
1. This report is the confidential and private property of the client and the appraiser.
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report shall be conveyed to any person
or entity, other than the appraiser's or firm's client, through advertising, solicitation
materials, public relations, news, sales, or other media without the written consent
and approval of the authors, particularly as to valuation conclusions, the identity of
the appraiser or firm with which the appraiser is connected, or any reference to the
Appraisal Institute or the MAI and SRA designations. Further, the appraiser or firm
assumes no obligation, liability, or accountability to any third party. If this report is
placed in the hands of anyone but the client, client shall make such party aware of
all the assumptions and limiting conditions of the assignment.
2. Neither this report, nor any of its contents, may be used for the sale of shares or
similar units of ownership in the nature of securities, without specific prior approval
of the appraiser. No part of this appraisal may be reproduced in any promotional
materials without the permission of the appraiser.
3. The information furnished by the property owner, agent, management or the client
is assumed to be correct as received.
4. The appraiser is not responsible for the accuracy of the opinions furnished by others
and contained in this report, nor is he responsible for the reliability of government
data utilized in the report.

6. The property is appraised as if owned in fee simple title without encumbrances,
unless otherwise mentioned in this report.
7. The fee simple estate in the property contains the sum of all fractional interests
which may exist.
8. The legal description obtained by the appraiser was assumed correct and
descriptive of the subject property. No responsibility is assumed for the legal
description provided or for matters including legal or title considerations. A survey
and title report should be obtained to verify its accuracy.
9. No site survey was provided to the appraiser unless otherwise noted. It is assumed
that the sources for dimensions and size relied upon are correct.
10. The utilization of the land by the improvements is assumed to be within the
boundaries or property lines described and that no encroachments exist unless
otherwise noted in the report.
11. No hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, subsoil, or structures that
render it more or less valuable were assumed to exist. No responsibility is assumed
for such conditions or arranging engineering studies that may be required for their
discovery.
12. Subsurface rights (mineral, oil, etc.) and their potential impact upon value were not
considered in this appraisal, unless stated otherwise.
13. This appraisal assumes the subject property, as vacant or as improved, has no
historical or archeological significance. The value estimate is predicated on the
assumption that no such condition exists. Should the client have a concern over
the subject's status, he or she is urged to retain the services of a qualified
independent specialist to determine the extent of either significance, if any, and the
cost to study the condition or the benefit or detriment such a condition brings to the
property. The cost of inspection and study must be borne by the client or owner of
the property. Should the development of the property be restricted or enhanced in
any way, the appraiser reserves the right to modify the opinion of value indicated
by the market.
14. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have
been complied with, unless nonconformity has been stated,defined and considered
in the appraisal report.
15. This appraisal assumes the subject property complies with the requirements under
the ADA, Americans With Disabilities Act. The appraisers are not qualified to detect
each and every item of compliance or lack thereof. The value estimate is predicated
on the assumption that there is no lack of compliance that would cause a loss in
value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or
engineering knowledge required to discover them.
Should the client have a concern over the subject's state of compliance, he or she
is urged to retain the services of a qualified independent ADA specialist to
determine the extent of compliance and the cost to bring the property into
compliance if needed. The cost of inspection, study and compliance must be borne
by the client or owner of the property. The cost could be deducted from the estimate
of market value of the subject property if indicated by the market.
16. The subject property is assumed not to be in violation of any government
regulations or laws pertaining to the environment.
17. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous material, which
may or may not be present on the property, was not observed by the appraiser.The
appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property.
The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances as asbestos,
PCB transformers, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, or other toxic, hazardous,
or contaminated substances and/or underground storage tanks (containing
hazardous materials). Mold may be present in areas the appraiser cannot see. The
value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material or
growth on or in the property that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is
assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge
required to discover them.
Should the client have a concern over the existence of such substances, he or she
is urged to retain the services of a qualified independent environmental specialist
to determine the extent of the contamination, if any, and the cost of treatment or
removal. The cost of detection, treatment or removal and permanent storage must
be borne by the client or owner of the property. This cost can be deducted from the
estimate of market value of the subject property if requested by the client.
18. Responsible ownership and competent management is assumed to exist for the
subject property.
19. The values assigned to the improvements, if shown in this report, are in proportion
to the contribution they make to the value of the property as a whole. The separate
estimates of value for the land and building must not be used in conjunction with
any other appraisal and are invalid if so used, or if used separately.
20. All furnishings and equipment(or other personal property), except those specifically
indicated and/or typically considered as a part of real property (under common
accepted definitions) have been disregarded in this valuation. Only the real estate,
as permanently affixed to the subject site, has been valued herein.
21. This report is not considered a legal document and the appraiser assumes no
responsibility for matters of a legal nature except for his obligations under the
contract to provide the appraisal and report.
22. The appraiser is not required to testify regarding this report in deposition or in court
unless arrangements were previously made.
23. The appraiser cannot predict or evaluate the possible effects of future wage or price
control actions of the government upon rental income or financing of the subject
property; hence, it is assumed that no controls will apply which would nullify
contractual agreements, thereby changing property values.
24. The appraiser did not base a conclusion or opinion of value on the following:
a. Racial, ethnic, or religious homogeneity of the inhabitants of an area or of a
property
b. Racial, religious, and ethnic factors as predictors of value trends or price
variance
c. Neighborhood trends analyzed upon stereotyped or biased presumptions
relating to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, or upon unsupported

being appraised or the life expectancy of the neighborhood in which it is
located.
