10 COMPETITIVE CHARACTERISTICS New Market Tax Credit Part of the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, the New Markets Tax Credit Program spurs approximately $15 billion in investment capital for low-income communities. Based on confirmed census tract data, the US 41 Commerce Park qualifies for New Market Tax Credits. This qualification is based on area wide unemployment and poverty rates, and serves as an incentive for the development of employment centers. This incentive translates through tax credit allotments to qualified lending institutions Community Development Entities (CDE) into below market loans available to developers currently quoted at approximately 2.5%, interest only, for a 7 year term. These funds are available for acquisition and development of land, infrastructure and buildings which create jobs. The US 41 Commerce Park is situated in a census tract which qualifies for New Market Tax Credit program. Applications have been made, and staged approvals have been given by a qualified lending institution, with a loan allocation estimated of $15,000,000 for the development of the US 41 Commerce Park at a rate of approximately 2.5% as an interest only, seven year term. This loan must remain outstanding for its full term in support of fulfilling the community based objectives. During the application and servicing process, both the Community Development Entity, arm of the bank as well as the Credit Department, are active in the relationship. These NMTC Financing benefits allow a competitive, below market lease rate, and a potential reduction in equity required, while achieving the same or greater return on investment. The NMTC offers both a direct financial benefit as well as adding a community minded and socially conscious identity to the development organization. The US 41 Commerce Park has received strong support from two lending institutions, a strong indication of the value. The project is forecasted to generate 4,400 direct and indirect jobs though the development and stabilization. Brownfields-BSRA (Brownfields Site Rehabilitation Agreement) The Brownfields Redevelopment Act empowers stakeholders in economic development to prevent, asses and reuse sites complicated by actual or perceived environmental conditions. The US 41 Commerce Park was historically used as a commercial fish farm and as a result has a portion designated as the Tampa Livestock Distribution Dump Brownfields Area. As such, a BSRA is underway with the Hillsborough County EPC, and upon final approval will provide for appropriate clean up actions and associated financial benefits to the developer. These benefits include state income tax credits, cleanup costs tax credits, and job creation bonus tax refunds in the amount of $2,500 per job. Additionally, regulatory benefits include cleanup liability protection and EPA comfort letters for lenders and users.

11 COMPETITIVE CHARACTERISTICS Rail Served Industrial Park The US 41 Commerce Park s eastern boundary consists of 3,000 liner feet of CSX Main line rail tract, facilitating various spur design options for a Rail Served Industrial Park. CSX is the largest railroad in the east and one of the nation's leading hauler. It owns and maintains over 20,000 miles of track in the east, and transports a wide variety of other products.

It has a favorable business environment, with a low corporate income tax rate and no state personal income tax. In addition, Florida offers competitive cost-of-doing-business, especially when compared to other high tech states. The state is also one of only a few rightto-work states in the U.S.

13 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DATA Proactive, Pro-business Government Florida s government and economic development leaders are working together to ensure the state s economic growth and competitiveness by implementing needed legislative, fiscal and marketplace initiatives. From tort reform targeting rising insurance and worker compensation rates, to building a strong culture of preparedness, and providing targeted industry incentives, Florida offers businesses the right conditions for success and growth. Competitive Edge in Innovation Florida is one of the emerging forces in the Innovation Economy due to the state's sustained efforts to create the right conditions for creative, knowledge-based businesses. The state is strategic about its economic development activities, which include funding research & development, attracting venture capital, building state-of-the-art infrastructure, fostering innovative high tech firms, and preparing the qualified workforce to work in them. Tampa The Tampa Bay Region is home to two of the state's most populous cities: Tampa and St. Petersburg. In the last decade, the region has become a hotspot for high-tech company growth. It anchors one end of the Florida High Tech Corridor, which houses more than 50% of Florida s high-tech companies. Transportation is a key factor in Tampa/Hillsborough's continuing economic success and in the region's ability to attract new businesses. Road transportation in the region is excellent, with a network of upgraded Interstates (I-75, I-275 and I-4) and major roadways. The Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization notes nearly $3 billion in funded projects for the next 20 years. The Port of Tampa is the largest seaport in Florida, handling as much tonnage as Florida's 13 other deepwater seaports combined. Container equipment at the Port makes overseas or Gulf of Mexico merchandise shipping convenient. CSX rail lines run directly to the Port from throughout the region. Tampa International Airport (TIA) is located within the City of Tampa. TIA is easily accessed by an excellent road network. Business travelers have repeatedly named TIA a top business airport in survey after survey. In addition to TIA, general aviation and private airports serve the region, and several major airports are located within a 90-minute drive from Tampa. Tampa, with its strategically located port and excellent airport, serves as an ideal platform for international distribution, especially to the Americas. The Tampa/Hillsborough area has a skilled workforce in the trade and transport industries. Transport rates are highly competitive, and the market offers scores of transport and delivery companies.

One of the most popular is the Economic Development Transportation Fund, known as the "Road Fund," designed to ease transportation woes that discourage a company's location or expansion decision. Infrastructure Tampa Bay offers the right infrastructure needed for firms to quickly and effectively move products, services and data. With three seaports and airports, it is a major entry point for domestic and international shipping. In addition, the region is continuously updating its interstate and highway infrastructure, spending more than $1.8 billion in new construction and improvements (current, proposed, and recently completed). Industry Home to multiple universities and colleges with prime research facilities, Tampa Bay s industry clusters range from life sciences and healthcare to homeland security, avionics and marine electronics. Tampa Bay has also been called "Wall Street South" for the size and scope of its financial services industry. Workforce Comprised of about 2 million professionals and equal to 22% of the state s total labor force, the Tampa region is rich in talent.

20 CITY HIGHLIGHTS, MARCH 2008 TAMPA CITY HIGHLIGHTS Brian P. Rettig, Patrick Duffy, Cheri O Neil, David Diaz and Alan Kaye Tampa Industrial Market The entire Tampa Bay trade area, consisting of Hillsborough (Tampa), Pasco, Manatee (Bradenton), Pinellas (St. Petersburg/Clearwater), Polk (Lakeland) and Sarasota counties had an industrial market vacancy rate of 4.88 percent. During the second quarter, 925,160 square feet of industrial space was absorbed. The statistics for the industrial submarkets of the counties relative to the Tampa Bay Area are as follows: Continuing demand for industrial space to service the area s growing population, coupled with the limited land available for development and relatively limited delivery of supply of new completed improved product, has and is expected to continue putting upward pressure on rental rates. The growth in rental rates is justifying the delivery of additional new product to the marketplace. Further, as traditional corporate industrial space users come up for renewal in third generation space with lower clear heights and substandard sprinkler systems, in lieu of paying an increased rental in such space, we believe these users will elect to pay slightly more per square foot for the new product which has (i) more cubic storage space due to increased clear heights, and (ii) ESFR fire sprinkler systems. So, the net cost to the user in new construction can actually come at a minimal increase due to a greater number of pallet positions and lower insurance cost for a similar footprint. The growth in Tampa Bay s industrial property market is also limited by natural barriers such as the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. More specifically, the lack of land in Pinellas and Western Hillsborough counties has pushed users east (along I-4) and southward (along I-75) in search of supply. As of the end of 2007, the industrial property sector was the new most wanted investor demand rental rates are on the rise, quarterly absorption is positive again (12 quarters in a row) and vacancy remains at a 20-year low. The overall average asking rental rate is $6.69 per square foot; however, the majority of the submarkets are above $7.05 NNN per square foot. This rate represents a 28.8 percent increase from 2005 and a 36.3 percent increase from 2004, which is attributable to a decreasing supply of industrial space combined with Tampa s strong job and population growth. The market has experienced a continuation of the demand that has occurred during the last few years. The Tampa MSA had 2.75 million square feet of positive absorption during 2007, which is remarkable given the vacancy rate is 5.6 percent. Further, the expansion in container business at the Port of Tampa has fueled the entire West Central Florida industrial market. With such low vacancy rates across the Tampa Bay market, new construction had been long overdue. There is now 2.16 million square feet of new product being built in Hillsborough County, 619,000 square feet in Pinellas County, 881,180 square feet in Polk County and 451,701 square feet in Sarasota/Bradenton.

21 East Tampa s I-75 Corridor is the Bay Area s largest submarket (67.19 million), and it is greatly influenced by access to the area s transportation network, which consists of I-75, US-301, US-41, the Selmon Expressway, SR-60 and extends westward along the I-4 Corridor to the Tampa Central Business District. The vibrant East Tampa/I-75 Corridor submarket saw 825,631 square feet of positive absorption in Of the total 2.75 million square feet of positive industrial absorption that occurred in the entire Tampa Bay area, approximately 30 percent occurred in the East Tampa/I- 75 Corridor submarket. The year-end vacancy rate stands at a stellar 3.6 percent, which is below the overall Tampa industrial market rate of 5.63 percent. Average asking rental rates are $6.75 NNN per square foot for East Tampa, and there is approximately 2.16 million square feet under construction in the I-75/US 301 submarket as of fourth quarter Going forward, the trend of rising rental rates and low vacancy rates is expected to continue because of tenant demand and a limited supply of large blocks of space. Projects include IDI s 700,000-square-foot Madison Industrial Park, Ryan Companies 492,000 square feet of speculative product at South Shore Corporate Park and Trammell Crow/ING s 650,000-square-foot Madison project. Current rental rates for the new construction are between $5.75 per square foot and $6.65 NNN per square foot. The primary attraction to the tenants of the East Tampa submarket is the inventory s proximity to the major transportation routes that serve not only the MSA, but the entire state of Florida. Nearly half of all national freight destinations are within a day s drive of the market; thus, proximity to the major roadways that serve the region is critical for tenant operations that rely heavily on transportation. The I-75 Corridor has also been the most rapidly growing residential market in the Tampa Bay area. Easy access to I-75 and I-4 allows companies to attract employees to the I-75 Corridor from Pasco to Sarasota Counties and Polk County as well. Brian P. Rettig, SIOR is first vice president with the Tampa office of CB Richard Ellis.
