PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL The purpose of this appraisal contained herein is to estimate the Market Rental Value of the vacant land as of July 28, 2016. The definition and principals of Market Value which are applicable to a property sale are also applicable to Market Rental. For purposes of this appraisal, Market Value can be stated as follows: The most probable price which a property brings 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 are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: • buyer and seller are typically motivated; • both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he considers his own best interest; • a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in open market; • Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars for in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and • the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. 3 Airport & Aviation Appraisals, Inc.

PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED The property rights which this appraisal seeks to value are those held by the City of Hondo in fee simple, potentially to be conveyed in leasehold estate. The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal published by the Appraisal Institute defines leasehold estate as the right to use and occupy real estate for a stated term and under certain conditions conveyed by a lease. A lease interest is one of the real property interests that result from the separation of the bundle of rights by a lease, i.e. the leased fee estate or the leasehold estate. SALES HISTORY The vacant land which is the subject of this appraisal has not leased to any third party users within the last three years. MARKETING PERIOD/EXPOSURE TIME The subject properties are an example of larger amount of contiguous vacant airside land. It is currently in a portion of the airport that is largely unimproved with any complementary aeronautical uses. The market for this type of property is user-oriented and is limited due to the specialized nature of potential tenants of the size and scope able to utilize the land in its entirety. Based on the marketing period of the comparable data presented in this report, as well as discussions with informed sources in the marketplace, is our opinion that 12 to 36 months is a reasonable marketing period (by qualified personnel), for the subject property. Exposure time reflects a retrospective estimate of the estimated length of time a property would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale as of the effective appraisal date. Exposure time and marketing period are not 4 Airport & Aviation Appraisals, Inc. synonymous terms. Exposure time is the time required to obtain the sale of the subject property on its date of value estimate. It precedes the date of value estimate. Marketing time corresponds to the time required to secure the sale of the properties at their estimated market value subsequent to the date of value estimate. Exposure time for the subject property is forecast to be 10 months, assuming the same conditions. APPRAISAL PROCEDURES USED The appraised value as set forth in this report is supported with consideration and the use of standard accepted appraisal practices and valuation procedures.
