Executive Summary Objective of the Market Study The objective of the market study is to examine current and potential demand for lodging accommodations, as well as the existing and proposed supply in Eden Prairie and surrounding suburbs near the city. Intended Use and Audience of the Appraisal This market study report is being prepared for the City of Eden Prairie. The findings of this market study are anticipated to be used to determine if the City of Eden Prairie’s hotel market has sufficient depth and need to accommodate a new select- or full-service hotel. Definitions: Select-Service Hotels: Select-service hotels, as the name suggests, offer the fundamentals of limited-service properties together with a selection of the services and amenities characteristic of full-service properties. Generally, this means select food and beverage and banquet facilities but on a less elaborate scale than one would find at full-service hotels. Overall, it is fair to say that select-service properties have more in common with their limited-service properties, but specific offerings of select-service properties vary. Select-service hotels keep operating costs down by offering services and amenities in moderation. Hence, such properties generally do not feature multiple restaurants, expansive catering services, or an abundance of meeting space. For example, a select-service hotel’s restaurant is likely to offer a limited menu and may not be open for all three meals, seven days a week. In-room amenities, however, can approach or meet the levels found at full-service hotels. In fact, commercial demand has grown among select-service hotels since 2007, as budgets for business travel tightened. The select-service segment has continued to increase its competitive advantage by offering the in-room amenities of full-service hotels while keeping prices low in the absence of a full-spectrum product offering. While the term “select-service” may be relatively new to the lodging scene, the concept has been around for many years. For most people, a Hilton Garden Inn, a Courtyard by Marriott, or a Hyatt Place evokes an image of the quintessential select-service hotel. However, the term also describes individual properties that vary from largely limited-service brands. Examples of such properties include Aloft, Wyndham Garden Inn, Clarion, Four Points by Sheraton, Hotel Indigo, Ramada, and Cambria Suites, which feature on-site restaurants or a more elaborate array of in-room amenities. March-2014 Executive Summary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 1 Similarly, the line between full-service and the select-service hotels has become increasingly blurred with the release of several new prototypes by companies such as Starwood Hotels & Resorts and Wyndham. The new prototypes, which include less expansive food and beverage services and feature a smaller overall building footprint, provide for greater operating efficiency for a hotel that is less expensive to build and maintain. Full-Service Hotels: The most distinguishing feature of a full-service hotel is the abundant provision of food and beverage services suitable for both guests and groups. Full-service hotels, unlike hotels in other segments, typically play a significant role in servicing the meeting and special events needs in their market area. Therefore, on-site restaurants, lounges, and group meeting spaces with banquet facilities are the cornerstones of the full-service offering. Furthermore, selective amenities such as spas, elaborate banquet rooms, door attendants, valet parking, extended room service, concierge services, and high-end restaurants and boutiques distinguish many full-service properties. These multiple services and amenities come at a higher operational cost for the full-service hotel, but they also help the hotel to capture demand that may be more selective, further allowing the hotel to command a higher average rate. Groups requiring meeting space are a significant source of business for full-service properties, as are business travelers willing to pay the higher room rates generally charged at these hotels. Leisure and vacation travelers, especially at the upscale and luxury levels, are also a significant market for many full-service hotels. In all cases, full-service hotel guests seek the extra amenities and service levels found only at these properties. Subject of the Market Study March-2014 The City of Eden Prairie is looking into the development of a full-service or selectservice hotel and has four potential site locations for such development; however, a specific site had not been chosen at the time of our report. We have analyzed the locations of the sites in regard to their proximity to demand generators, retail establishments, and entertainment venues. We recommend that the proposed subject hotel operate as an upscale, select-service property, such as an Aloft or a comparable brand.

For the purpose of this analysis, we have assumed that the property would open on June 1, 2015 and feature 120 rooms, a grab-n-go snack bar and a lobby bar, 5,000 to 7,500 square feet of meeting space, an indoor pool, an indoor whirlpool, an exercise room, lobby workstations, an outdoor patio, and a guest laundry room. The hotel will also feature all necessary back-of-the-house space. The number of people that can be accommodated in a typical meeting facility that measures between 5,000 and 7,500 square feet may vary depending on the configuration of such space, as well as the available number meeting rooms that are able to break out into smaller rooms. The following table illustrates the approximate capacity that can be accommodated.

The subject site was inspected by Lizzette Casarin and Tanya J. Pierson, MAI on November 4, 2013. Ownership, Franchise, and Management Assumptions There are four potential site locations for the subject property's development; however, the City had not chosen a specific parcel at the time of our research. Details pertaining to management terms were not yet determined at the time of this report; therefore, our forecast fees represent a blended average of what would be expected on a base-fee and incentive-fee basis. We have assumed a marketappropriate total management fee of 3.0% of total revenues in our study. We recommend that the proposed subject property operate as an upscale, selectservice hotel. For the purpose of this report, we have assumed that the property would be branded with a nationally recognized hotel brand, such as an Aloft, a select-service brand affiliated with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, or another comparable select-service brand. However, a specific franchise affiliation and/or brand had yet to be finalized at the time of this study. Based on our review of the expected terms, the Aloft franchise is reflected in our forecasts with a royalty fee of 5.5% of rooms revenue, and a marketing assessment of 4% of rooms revenue. Reservations fees will also be due, and are included in the rooms expense line item of our forecast. After reaching out to numerous hotel companies to verify the availability of brands for the proposed subject hotel, and based on our conversations with hotel brand representatives, the following brands are available for development in Eden Prairie: · Aloft · Wyndham Garden Inn · Radisson Red · Four Points by Sheraton · Hotel Indigo · Ramada · Cambria Suites While these brands represent multiple parent hotel companies, based on our review of the national performance of each of these brands, our first March-2014 Executive Summary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 1 recommendation would be Aloft because of its overall 2013 performance across the United States. Summary of Hotel Market Trends Local employers and headquarter offices in the area, the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and the Mall of America represent the primary sources of demand for the selected competitive set of hotels in this market. Market-wide occupancy declined between 2001 and 2003, primarily due to the opening of the SpringHill Suites Minneapolis Eden Prairie and the Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Bloomington. After the quick absorption of the new supply, the market realized year-over-year occupancy increases in 2004 and 2005, largely due to stronger corporate travel and overall economic growth in the Eden Prairie area; occupancy fluctuated between 2006 and 2007. However, occupancy fell in 2008 with the onset of the financial crisis and the opening of the Hilton Bloomington; the decline continued into 2009, concurrent with the Great Recession. Demand then returned to this resilient market in 2010, with market occupancy posting a 12.6% increase. In 2011, occupancy rose only slightly, but declined once again in 2012. The latest year-to-date data for 2013 show a slight decrease, attributed to an increasing level of supply in the adjacent markets, as well as the changes and layoffs experienced at SuperValu. The following table provides a historical perspective on the supply and demand trends for a selected set of hotels that would be considered primarily and secondarily competitive once the proposed subject hotel is open in Eden Prairie, as provided by Smith Travel Research. Available room nights equates to the average daily room count times 365 days. Occupancy is calculated by dividing the occupied room nights by the available room nights. Average rate is calculated by dividing the total rooms revenue by the total occupied room nights. RevPAR, which stands for Revenue Per Available Room, is calculated by taking occupancy times average rate.

Segmentation Executive Summary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 4 It is important to note that the full-service hotels located outside of Eden Prairie achieve higher average rates than many of the limited-and select-service hotels in Eden Prairie; however, because of their size and higher concentration of group business, their RevPAR is comparable, or only slightly higher than the selectservice hotels. Select-service hotels are less expensive to build and typically generate higher net-operating-income (NOI) ratios than full-service hotels. Therefore, given the limited difference in RevPAR levels, it is our recommendation that a select-service hotel be considered for development in Eden Prairie. Summary of Forecast Occupancy and Average Rate FIGURE 1-5 Based on our analysis presented in the Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate chapter, we have chosen to use a stabilized occupancy level of 71% and a baseyear rate position of $110.00 for the proposed subject hotel.

Please refer to the Forecast of Income and Expense chapter of our report for a detailed explanation of the methodology used in deriving this forecast. Scope of Work The methodology used to develop this study is based on the market research and valuation techniques set forth in the textbooks authored by Hospitality Valuation Services for the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and the Appraisal Institute, entitled The Valuation of Hotels and Motels,1 Hotels, Motels and Restaurants: Valuations and Market Studies,2 The Computerized Income Approach to Hotel/Motel Market Studies and Valuations,3 Hotels and Motels: A Guide to Market Analysis, Investment Analysis, and Valuations,4 and Hotels and Motels – Valuations and Market Studies.5 1. All information was collected and analyzed by the staff of TS Worldwide, LLC. Information was supplied by the client and/or the property’s development team. 2. The subject site locations were evaluated from the viewpoint of the future operation of a hotel, as well as access, visibility, and other relevant factors. 3. The recommended improvements have been reviewed for their expected quality of construction, design, and layout efficiency. 4. The surrounding economic environment, on both an area and neighborhood level, has been reviewed to identify specific hostelry-related economic and demographic trends that may have an impact on future demand for hotels. 5. Dividing the market for hotel accommodations into individual segments defines specific market characteristics for the types of travelers expected to utilize the area's hotels. The factors investigated include purpose of visit, average length of stay, facilities and amenities required, seasonality, daily demand fluctuations, and price sensitivity.

An analysis of existing and proposed competition provides an indication of the current accommodated demand, along with market penetration and the degree of competitiveness. Unless noted otherwise, we have inspected the competitive lodging facilities summarized in this report. 7. Documentation for an occupancy and average rate projection is derived utilizing the build-up approach based on an analysis of lodging activity. 8. A detailed projection of income and expense made in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry sets forth the anticipated economic benefits of the subject property. Executive Summary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 10 2. Description of the Site and Neighborhood The suitability of the land for the operation of a lodging facility is an important consideration affecting the economic viability of a property and its ultimate marketability. Factors such as size, topography, access, visibility, and the availability of utilities have a direct impact on the desirability of a particular site. The first site location is adjacent to the Eden Prairie Center Mall, which is in the southeast quadrant of the intersection formed by Interstate 494 and Flying Cloud Drive. The second location is in the southeast quadrant of the intersection formed by Crosstown Highway and Shady Oak Road, near the UHG Campus. The third location is directly east of U.S. Highway 212, near the SuperValu corporate offices, and inside the Golden Triangle area. The fourth site location is directly west of U.S. Highway 212, near Shop NBC. The sites are in the city of Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Physical Characteristics March-2014 There are four potential site locations for the development of the proposed subject property; however, the City had not chosen a specific parcel at the time of our research. The following table identifies the four sites and their strengths and weaknesses. Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 11 FIGURE 2-1 SITE IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION 2 4 3 1 Site # Location Strengths Weaknesses 1 Eden Prairie Center Mall Area Near several recreational, retail, and entertainment venues, as well as I-494 High-density hotel area 2 Near Optum Campus Near largest employer, easy access to regional highways, LRT Station Most likely high constructon cost due to area redevelopment 3 Near SuperValu Campus Inside Golden Triangle, many demand generators nearby, near future LRT Station SuperValu has been downsizing; visibility may be an issue 4 Near Shop NBC Near LRT Station, easy accessibility to site Limited ancillary services nearby Given the fairly close proximity of many of these sites, it is difficult to choose rank one site higher than another, as one site may be more favorable for a particular demand generator, but more distance from major interstate traffic for leisure demand, and vice versa. Many demand generators interviewed stated that a hotel location within a few miles of their office location was preferable. March-2014 Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 12 Site Utility Upon completion of construction, the subject site will not contain any significant portion of undeveloped land that could be sold, entitled, and developed for alternate use. The site is expected to be fully developed with site or building improvements, which will contribute to the overall profitability of the hotel. Access and Visibility It is important to analyze the site in regard to ease of access with respect to regional and local transportation routes and demand generators. The subject market is readily accessible to a variety of local and county roads, as well as state and interstate highways. MAP OF REGIONAL ACCESS ROUTES March-2014 Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 13 Primary regional access through the area is provided by north/south Interstate 35, which extends to such cities as Des Moines, Iowa to the south and Duluth to the north. Interstate 35 divides into two thoroughfares (I-35 West and I-35 East) that segment the flow of traffic to Minneapolis and St. Paul, respectively. East/west Interstate 94 is another major highway, which provides access to such cities as Fargo, North Dakota to the west and Eau Claire to the east. Local and regional routes include branches of Interstate 94, such as Interstates 394, 494, and 694. The subject market is served by a variety of additional local highways, which are illustrated on the map. Airport Access The proposed subject hotel will be located in Eden Prairie and will be served by the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, which is located approximately eleven miles to the east of Eden Prairie. From the airport, motorists will follow signs to State Highway 5 and travel for approximately two miles on this thoroughfare to Interstate 494. Motorists will then proceed west on Interstate 494 until its intersection with one of Eden Prairie's four exits (11A, 11B, 11C, and 12), depending on the selection of the subject site. Neighborhood The neighborhood surrounding a lodging facility often has an impact on a hotel's status, image, class, style of operation, and sometimes its ability to attract and properly serve a particular market segment. This section of the report investigates the subject neighborhood and evaluates any pertinent location factors that could affect its future occupancy, average rate, and overall profitability. Eden Prairie is the convergence point of Minnesota’s busiest thoroughfares, including Interstate 494, U.S. Highways 169 and 212, and State Highways 5 and 62. The city is home to the Flying Cloud Airport, which provides convenient access for personal and corporate aircraft. The airport includes three runways and is one of six reliever airports in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) completed an expansion of the airport in 2010, which included the extension of the north and south runways, the construction of a new south building, and the replacement of airport lighting and various visual and navigational aids. The city is part of the proposed Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) development. The proposed Southwest LRT is a high-frequency train that is expected to connect Downtown Minneapolis to Eden Prairie through St. Louis Park, Hopkins, and Minnetonka; this area, known as the Southwest Corridor, contains a concentration of businesses including several of the state’s largest employers. This Southwest LRT route would also connect directly to the Central Corridor LRT, becoming part of the Green Line, with direct service to the University of Minnesota and St. Paul. The proposed Southwest LRT would also allow transfers near Target Field in order to access the Blue Line, with service to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, March-2014 Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 14 as well as the Northstar commuter rail line. According to the Metro Council, more than 210,000 jobs and 60,000 people in 31,000 households are presently located within one-half mile of the proposed Southwest LRT stations. The Southwest Corridor is projected to add 30,000 households and 60,000 new jobs by 2030. As currently proposed, the line would be 15.8 miles long, with 17 stations (five of them in Eden Prairie) expected to open in 2018; the total project is anticipated to cost $1.25 billion. MAP OF NEIGHBORHOOD Utilities The subject site will reportedly be served by all necessary utilities. Soil and Subsoil Conditions Geological and soil reports were not provided to us or made available for our review during the preparation of this report. We are not qualified to evaluate soil conditions other than by a visual inspection of the surface; no extraordinary conditions were apparent. March-2014 Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 15 Nuisances and Hazards We were not informed of any site-specific nuisances or hazards, and there were no visible signs of toxic ground contaminants at the time of our inspection. Because we are not experts in this field, we do not warrant the absence of hazardous waste and urge the reader to obtain an independent analysis of these factors. Zoning Because a specific site has not been finalized, the zoning could not be confirmed. However, the general area of all of the sites allows for most commercial uses, including professional offices, retail and entertainment venues, and hotels and motels. Our projections assume that the specific site would be approved for hotel use. We assume that all necessary permits and approvals will be secured (including the appropriate liquor license if applicable) and that the subject property will be constructed in accordance with local zoning ordinances, building codes, and all other applicable regulations. Our zoning analysis should be verified before any physical changes are made to the site. Easements and Encroachments We are not aware of any easements attached to the property that would significantly affect the utility of the site or marketability of this project. March-2014 Description of the Site and Neighborhood Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 16 3. Market Area Analysis The economic vitality of the market area and neighborhood surrounding the subject site is an important consideration in forecasting lodging demand and future income potential. Economic and demographic trends that reflect the amount of visitation provide a basis from which to project lodging demand. The purpose of the market area analysis is to review available economic and demographic data to determine whether the local market will undergo economic growth, stabilize, or decline. In addition to predicting the direction of the economy, the rate of change must be quantified. These trends are then correlated based on their propensity to reflect variations in lodging demand, with the objective of forecasting the amount of growth or decline in visitation by individual market segment (e.g., commercial, meeting and group, and leisure). Market Area Definition The market area for a lodging facility is the geographical region where the sources of demand and the competitive supply are located. The subject property will be located in the city of Eden Prairie, the county of Hennepin, and the state of Minnesota. Eden Prairie is a southwestern suburb of the Minneapolis – St. Paul metro area, which is well known for its robust economy, a highly educated workforce, and an outstanding quality of life. The development of the Flying Cloud Airport and Interstate 494 in the mid-1900s put the city on the map, bringing thousands of homes and businesses to the area. Since then, the population of Eden Prairie has grown to more than 60,000 and the number of businesses has multiplied to more than 2,800. In addition to attractive residential neighborhoods and affordable housing options, the city also comprises nearly 10,000 acres of land designated for parks and open spaces, miles of scenic views, and a multitude of lakes and beaches. Eden Prairie was ranked as the third best place to live in the United States in 2012 by Money Magazine. The proposed subject property’s market area can be defined by its Combined Statistical Area (CSA): Minneapolis-St. Paul-St. Cloud, MN-WI. The CSA represents adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas that have a moderate degree of employment interchange. Micropolitan statistical areas represent urban areas in the United States based around a core city or town with a population of 10,000 to 49,999; the MSA requires the presence of a core city of at least 50,000 people and a total population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). The following exhibit illustrates the market area.

March-2014 Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 19 The U.S. population has grown at an average annual compounded rate of 1.0% from 2010 through 2013. The county’s population has grown more slowly than the nation’s population; the average annual growth rate of 0.3% between 2010 and 2013 reflects a gradually expanding area. Following this population trend, percapita personal income increased slowly, at 1.9% on average annually for the county between 2010 and 2013. Local wealth indexes have remained stable in recent years, registering a relatively high 138.6 level for the county in 2013. Food and beverage sales totaled $2,422 million in the county in 2013, versus $2,309 million in 2010. This reflects a 1.6% average annual change, which is stronger than the 1.1% pace recorded in the prior decade, the latter years of which were adversely affected by the recession. Over the long term, the pace of growth is forecast to moderate to a more sustainable level of 1.2%, which is forecast through 2020. The retail sales sector demonstrated an annual decline of -0.2% registered in the decade 2000 to 2010, followed by an increase of 2.6% in the period 2010 to 2013. An increase of 1.4% average annual change is expected in county retail sales through 2020. Workforce Characteristics The characteristics of an area's workforce provide an indication of the type and amount of transient visitation likely to be generated by local businesses. Sectors such as finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE); wholesale trade; and services produce a considerable number of visitors who are not particularly rate-sensitive. The government sector often generates transient room nights, but per-diem reimbursement allowances often limit the accommodations selection to budget and mid-priced lodging facilities. Contributions from manufacturing, construction, transportation, communications, and public utilities (TCPU) employers can also be important, depending on the company type. The following table sets forth the county workforce distribution by business sector in 2000, 2010, and 2013, as well as a forecast for 2020.

March-2014 Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 21 Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. reports that during the period from 2000 to 2010, total employment in the county contracted at an average annual rate of -0.1%. This trend was below the growth rate recorded by the MSA and also lagged the national average. More recently, the pace of total employment growth in the county accelerated to 1.3% on an annual average from 2010 to 2013, reflecting the initial years of the recovery. Of the primary employment sectors, Total Services recorded the highest increase in number of employees during the period from 2010 to 2013, increasing by 22,433 people, or 4.6%, and rising from 47.5% to 47.7% of total employment. Of the various service sub-sectors, Health Care And Social Assistance and Professional And Technical Services were the largest employers. Strong growth was also recorded in the Finance And Insurance sector, as well as the Real Estate And Rental And Lease sector, which expanded by 7.1% and 2.8%, respectively, in the period 2010 to 2013. Forecasts developed by Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. anticipate that total employment in the county will change by 1.6% on average annually through 2020. The trend is above the forecast rate of change for the U.S. as a whole during the same period.

Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics March-2014 Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 26 The unemployment rate for the U.S. fluctuated within the narrow range of 4.6% to 6.0% in the period spanning from 2003 to 2007. The recession and financial crisis in 2007 and 2008 resulted in heightened unemployment rates, which peaked at 10.0% in October of 2009. Job growth resumed in late 2009; the national unemployment rate has steadily declined since 2010. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 74,000 jobs in December of 2013, which brought the unemployment rate down to 6.7%, falling to the lowest level in over four years. In 2013, nonfarm payroll employment increased by 182,000 jobs on average each month, similar to the 183,000 average of 2012. In December of 2013, job growth was strongest in retail and wholesale trade. This positive trend reflects steady progress by the U.S. economy. Locally, the unemployment rate was 5.3% in 2012; for this same area in 2013, the most recent month’s unemployment rate was registered at 4.0%, versus 4.8% for the same month in 2012. Unemployment rates in this area declined mid-decade, concurrent with the general recovery trend after a difficult period earlier in the decade. Unemployment began to rise in 2008 as the region entered an economic slowdown, and this trend continued in 2009 as the height of the national recession took hold. The unemployment rate began to decline in 2010, a trend that continued through 2012; an improvement is also illustrated in the most recent comparative period. Our interviews with economic development officials reflect a positive outlook, primarily attributed to the development of UnitedHealth Group/Optum's campus and the light-rail station. In addition, Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI MSA employers expect to hire at an active pace during the first quarter of 2014, according to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. Major Business and Industry March-2014 Providing additional context for understanding the nature of the regional economy, the following table presents a list of the major employers in the subject property’s market.

Several high-tech and pharmaceutical companies support the region's medical industry by offering the latest, stateof-the-art equipment and medicine. HealthPartners is major employer in the metro area, and Optum, a business unit of Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group Inc., is the largest employer in Eden Prairie. In the spring of 2012, approximately 1.5 million square feet of additional office space to the UnitedHealth Group/Optum campus was approved for development on 71 acres located along State Highway 62 and Shady Oak Road. The campus expansion includes four buildings, which will be built in phases and completed in 2016. The development is anticipated to positively influence the local economy and provide new professional employment opportunities; when completed, UHG expects approximately 6,700 workers to occupy the campus. An LRT station with a park-and-ride facility (one of five stations planned in Eden Prairie) is planned to be incorporated, as well, with completion by 2018. · The retail industry plays an important role in the greater Eden Prairie market area. SuperValu is a leader in the grocery retailing industry and one of the largest employers in the area. In 2006, SuperValu, CVS Corp., and an investment group (led by Cerberus) agreed to buy Albertsons Inc. for $17.4 billion. However, in March of 2013, the parent company of Albertson’s LLC acquired back Albertsons, Acme, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, and Star Market stores, as well as related Osco and Sav-on in-store pharmacies owned by Minneapolis- Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 28 based SuperValu, for $100 million in cash plus the assumption of approximately $3.2 billion in debt. Following this sale, SuperValu laid off 600 employees. SuperValu retained its ownership of Cub Foods, Save-A-Lot, Farm Fresh, Shoppers, Shop ‘n Save, and Hornbacher's; it continues to distribute groceries to 3,420 stores nationally. The area is also home to Shop NBC and the Eden Prairie Center Mall, among other retail centers. Eden Prairie Center is the Twin Cities' fourth-largest shopping center. General Growth Properties Inc. sold the 1.1 million-square-foot regional mall to a fund managed by Dallasbased Cypress Equities. Eden Prairie Center is almost fully leased at 99% occupancy, and its anchors include Target, Von Maur, JCPenney, Sears, and an AMC Cineplex. · The telecommunications industry within the Eden Prairie area continues to experience growth associated with increasing demand for globalized network infrastructure and telecommunications solutions. TDS Telecommunications Corp, AI Tech, and Kroll Ontrack, among others, are some of the most prominent companies in the area, providing telecommunications services on a global scale. In January of 2014, TDS's OneNeck IT Solutions broke ground on a $12-million expansion of its Certified Tier III data center in Eden Prairie. The economic base is diverse in this market, with strong employers in the fields of healthcare, finance, technology, and consumer goods. Major corporations include UnitedHealth Group/Optum, Cargill, Starkey Labs, GE Capital, and Cigna. In addition, the number of businesses continues to grow in Eden Prairie. It'sFresh! Inc., which is headquartered in the United Kingdom, plans to open a U.S. headquarters office in Eden Prairie in 2014. The company manufactures thin filter sheets to keep fruits and vegetables fresh. Furthermore, MAC hopes to boost nonaeronautical revenue at the Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie by offering about 70 acres of unused land to office and retail developers. The largest site, 39 acres along Eden Prairie Road, could fit a 120,000-square-foot office building; other sites could hold a combination of retail and office space. The 2014 economic outlook from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis calls for moderate growth. The Minneapolis-St. Paul region remains one of the most cost-efficient places to live and do business in the United States. Its combination of big-city business amenities and small-market ease of living has historically made the metro area a magnet for investment. Moody’s Economy.com employment forecast for Minneapolis-St. Paul remains optimistic, with an expectation of well over 40,000 jobs added each year from 2013 to 2015, with over 25,000 annually thereafter. The abovementioned factors should bode well for the Eden Prairie market. Office Space Statistics March-2014 Trends in occupied office space are typically among the most reliable indicators of lodging demand, as firms that occupy office space often exhibit a strong propensity to attract commercial visitors. Thus, trends that cause changes in vacancy rates or in the amount of occupied office space may have a proportional impact on Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 29 commercial lodging demand and a less direct effect on meeting demand. The following table details office space statistics for the pertinent market area.

During the period of 2001 through 2007, occupied office space expanded at an average annual compound rate of 0.2%. From 2007 through 2010, occupied office space contracted at an average annual compound rate of -1.4%, reflecting the impact of the recession. The onset of the recovery is evident in the 1.3% average annual change in occupied office space from 2010 to 2013. From 2013 through 2018, the inventory of occupied office space is forecast to increase at an average annual compound rate of 1.9%, with available office space expected to increase 1.0%, thus resulting in an anticipated vacancy rate of 13.6% as of 2018. According to REIS, the greater Minneapolis market offers over 78,000,000 square feet of Class A and B office space, with the second-largest office space located in the Southwest/Northeast Scott County submarket. The Southwest/Northeast Scott County office submarket has noted a slight decrease in supply in the last two years; however, owner-occupied and medical office construction is occurring in Eden Prairie by UnitedHealth Group/Optum (to be completed in the near future). The Southwest/Northeast Scott County submarket boasts the second-lowest vacancy rate and commands the highest asking rent within the Minneapolis market. In 2013, several high-profile office buildings sold for historically high prices, which resulted in increased rental rates. As a result of the lack of new office development in the recent past, developers are reportedly purchasing space and renovating and/or repurposing the space for office use. Convention Activity A convention center serves as a gauge of visitation trends to a particular market. Convention centers also generate significant levels of demand for area hotels and serve as a focal point for community activity. Typically, hotels within the closest proximity to a convention center—up to three miles away—will benefit the most. Hotels serving as headquarters for an event benefit the most by way of premium rates and hosting related banquet events. During the largest of conventions, peripheral hotels may benefit from compression within the city as a whole. The Minneapolis Convention Center, located in the heart of Downtown, hosts events and conventions for international to local clientele. In total, the Minneapolis Convention Center contains more than one million square feet of space and covers four city blocks. With nearly 500,000 square feet of exhibit space, 87 column-free meeting rooms, and 2 large ballrooms, it can comfortably accommodate 50,000 attendees. The convention center features a 100,000-square-foot exhibit hall that can be converted into a ballroom. According to the Meet Minneapolis Convention & Visitors Association, the provided statistics represent the events at Minneapolis Convention Center and in- March-2014 Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 32 house events. Consistent with national trends, the number of event declined in 2008 and 2009; however, the number of delegates attending conventions and other events increased during those years. In 2010, both number of conventions and attendees increased; the city’s convention activity modestly decreased in 2011. This downward trend was reversed in 2012, as the number of events and attendees increased once again given the stronger economy. Convention demand in 2013 and beyond is expected to benefit from the facility's mid-market price point. Airport Traffic Airport passenger counts are important indicators of lodging demand. Depending on the type of service provided by a particular airfield, a sizable percentage of arriving passengers may require hotel accommodations. Trends showing changes in passenger counts also reflect local business activity and the overall economic health of the area. The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is located seven miles southeast of Downtown Minneapolis and about seven miles southwest of Downtown St. Paul. The airport is serviced by major commercial airlines, as well as numerous charter and cargo carriers. Virtually every aspect of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was improved through a $3.1-billion expansion effort over the last decade. In 2002, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) opened two new Lindbergh Terminal concourses, A and B, and a second-phase expansion of Concourse C. MAC also opened the Humphrey Terminal and an eight-story parking ramp at the Humphrey Terminal, developed new cargo facilities, and finished work on numerous airfield projects. A fourth runway opened in 2005, and a 4,300-space parking structure was completed in 2008. Twenty-two charging stations, equipped with four electrical outlets each, are now available at no charge to travelers at both the Lindbergh and Humphrey terminals. In September of 2012, MAC presented its environmental assessment for the airport's proposed $1.5-billion expansion to support continued passenger growth through 2020. Federal approval of the assessment is required before the MAC can proceed with any expansion. The airport's long-term comprehensive plan calls for major expansion of the facilities at Terminal 2. The plan is designed to increase gate capacity as passenger demand warrants it; however, expansion plans are currently undergoing hearings. At the time of this report, no timeline or design had been established. The following table illustrates recent operating statistics for the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport, which is the primary airport facility serving the proposed subject hotel’s submarket.

March-2014 Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 34 Tourist Attractions March-2014 Although Eden Prairie does not have major tourism attractions, its location within the Twin Cities is favorable. Minneapolis is well known for its extensive theater and live-performance art offerings, world-class shopping, and eclectic dining venues. The market benefits from a wide variety of attractions popular with families visiting from out of town, locals, or international visitors. The peak season for tourism in this area is from May to September, when the area enjoys warmer summer weather. During other times of the year, weekend demand comprises travelers passing through en route to other destinations, people visiting friends or relatives, and other similar weekend demand generators. Primary attractions in the area include the following: · The 4.2-million-square-foot Mall of America complex attracts more than 40 million visitors a year; between 35 and 40% of these visitors are individuals who live farther than 150 miles from the nation’s largest retail and entertainment complex. A $2.1-billion expansion of the mall is proposed that could potentially add 5.6 million square feet of space, an ice-skating rink, and new upscale retail stores and would draw an additional 20 million visitors annually to the Mall of America. In addition to this expansion, in the fourth quarter of 2012, Mortenson reached an agreement with the City of Bloomington and the Mall of America concerning public improvements for the Phase IC expansion of the mall. This more modest expansion, which begins construction in the fall of 2013, is planned to include a 350-room luxury hotel and 135,000 square feet of retail space, with completion anticipated by yearend 2015. Additionally, a 500-room Radisson Blu hotel opened on March 15, 2013 at the south end of the mall. · Sporting events are a big attraction in the Twin Cities area. The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, usually simply called The Metrodome, is a domed sports stadium in Downtown Minneapolis, which is the current home of the Minnesota Vikings. Construction of a new $975-million Vikings Stadium began in January of 2014, with the facility expected to be open for the 2016 football season. In the interim years, the Vikings will play at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus. The Target Center, an arena sponsored by the Target Corporation, is located in Downtown Minneapolis. The center is home to the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. The Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul is home to the NHL's Minnesota Wild and the NLL's Minnesota Swarm, and is a premier location for concerts, shows, and athletic tournaments. In 2010, the Minnesota Twins Major League Baseball team began the season in its new home, Target Field, an open-air ballpark featuring 39,500 seats. This venue will host the 2014 All Star Game. · The Twin Cities area is considered by Minnesotans as the capital for the arts of the Upper Midwest. The $125-million, 285,000-square-foot Guthrie Theater, a Tony Award-winning center for theater performance, production, education, Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 35 and professional training, is located in the historic Mills District on the banks of the Mississippi River in Downtown Minneapolis. The facility includes three theaters, public lobbies, rehearsal rooms, classrooms, administrative offices, production and support facilities, restaurants, bars, and parking. · Conclusion The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is a comprehensive art museum located on a campus in Minneapolis that covers nearly eight acres. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts features an encyclopedic collection of more than 100,000 objects, spanning 5,000 years of world history. The building is located within the Washburn/Fair Oaks Mansion District, a neighborhood of mansions built by wealthy Minneapolis business leaders between 1880 and 1920; the district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Entry to the museum is free, except for special exhibitions. This section discussed a wide variety of economic indicators for the pertinent market area. The Eden Prairie market is relatively healthy, despite the effects of the recent economic recession. Real estate was adversely affected by the downturn, but a recovery is evidently underway. A preponderance of corporate headquarters has served the Minneapolis MSA well, insulating the metro area from the adverse effects of one industry's decline. The continued improvement of the unemployment rate and ongoing expansions in the area should continue to fuel gains in housing and consumer-driven industries. Furthermore, a highly educated workforce should continue to attract and retain business investment in the future. In relation to national conditions, the Minneapolis MSA and the city of Eden Prairie rank well, featuring a comparatively lower unemployment rate and greater stability among its key employment sectors. Our analysis of the outlook for this specific market also considers the broader context of the national economy. The U.S. economy entered a recession in December of 2007, which worsened in the fall of 2008 when the financial crisis shocked the world economy. The U.S. fell into economic decline for most of 2009, but the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and corporate profits began to grow again in the third quarter of 2009. In 2010, the economy experienced four consecutive quarters of economic growth, reflecting a rebound from the recession. Following a slight contraction in the first quarter of 2011, the economy has grown at positive, albeit fluctuating rates, as evidenced in the following table.

The U.S. GDP has averaged 3.2% since it was first recorded in 1947. The strong growth was driven by increases of 7.9% in durable goods, 13.4% in non-residential structures, and 10.3% in real residential investment. This growth occurred despite the 1.5% contraction in government spending and investment. The economic outlook continues to be positive; GDP is projected to grow at an annual rate of 3.0% in 2014, according to the Federal Open Market Committee. March-2014 Market Area Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 37 4. Supply and Demand Analysis In the lodging industry, price varies directly, but not proportionately, with demand and inversely, but not proportionately, with supply. Supply is measured by the number of guestrooms available, and demand is measured by the number of rooms occupied; the net effect of supply and demand toward equilibrium results in a prevailing price, or average rate. The purpose of this section is to investigate current supply and demand trends, as indicated by the current competitive market, and to set forth a basis for the projection of future supply and demand growth. Definition of Subject Hotel Market The 120-room Proposed Hotel will be located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The greater market surrounding the subject site offers 87 hotels and motels, spanning 18,184 rooms. The two largest hotels are the 821-room Hilton Minneapolis and the 645-room Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. Of this larger supply set, the proposed subject hotel is expected to compete with a smaller set of hotels based on various factors. These factors may include location, price point, product quality, length of stay (such as an extended-stay focus vs. nonextended-stay focus), room type (all-suite vs. standard), hotel age, or brand, among other factors. We have reviewed these pertinent attributes and established an expected competitive set based upon this review. Our review of the proposed subject hotel’s specific competitive set within the Eden Prairie area begins after our review of national occupancy, average rate, and RevPAR trends. National Trends Overview The proposed subject hotel’s local lodging market is most directly affected by the supply and demand trends within the immediate area. However, individual markets are also influenced by conditions in the national lodging market. We have reviewed national lodging trends to provide a context for the forecast of the supply and demand for the proposed subject hotel’s competitive set. Smith Travel Research (STR) is an independent research firm that compiles and publishes data on the lodging industry, routinely used by typical hotel buyers. Figure 4-1 presents annual hotel occupancy and average rate data since 1987. Figures 4-2 and 4-3 illustrate the more recent trends, categorized by geography, price point, type of location, and chain scale. The statistics include occupancy, average rate, and rooms revenue per available room (RevPAR). RevPAR is calculated by multiplying occupancy by average rate and provides an indication of how well rooms revenue is being maximized.

The pace of demand growth accelerated through the year; in 2010, lodging demand in the U.S. increased by 7.7% over that registered in 2009. A return of business travel and some group activity contributed to these positive trends. The resurgence in demand was partly fueled by the significant price discounts that were widely available in the first half of 2010. These discounting policies were largely phased out in the latter half of the year, balancing much of the early rate loss. Average rate decreased by only 0.1% in 2010 when compared to 2009. Strong demand growth continued in 2011 and 2012, at 5.0% and 3.0%, respectively. Demand increased 2.1% in the year-to-date through November 2013 period. Average rate rebounded by respective rates of 3.7% and 4.2%, in 2011 and 2012, followed by a 3.9% increase in 2013. In 2012, occupancy reached 61.3% (exceeding the ten-year average); moreover, occupancy gained another point in 2013, ending the year at 62.3%. Average rate finished the year just over $106 in 2012, with just over a $4 gain in rate registered in 2013. Demand and average rates should continue to strengthen in the near term. These trends, combined with the low levels of supply growth anticipated through 2014, should boost occupancy to just over 63% by year-end 2014. On a national average, strengthening occupancy levels should also permit hotels to increase room rates beyond the 3.9% achieved in 2013. HVS forecasts U.S. average rate growth of 5.0% for 2014. Historical Supply and Demand Data Smith Travel Research (STR) is an independent research firm that compiles and publishes data on the lodging industry, routinely used by typical hotel buyers. HVS has ordered and analyzed an STR Trend Report of historical supply and demand data for a group of hotels considered applicable to this analysis for the proposed subject hotel. This information is presented in the following table, along with the market-wide occupancy, average rate, and rooms revenue per available room (RevPAR). RevPAR is calculated by multiplying occupancy by average rate and provides an indication of how well rooms revenue is being maximized. It is important to note that the market and competitive research is as of our date of site inspection, in November of 2013.

Hotels are occasionally added to or removed from the sample, and not every property reports data in a consistent and timely manner; these factors can influence the overall quality of the information by skewing the results. These inconsistencies may also cause the STR data to differ from the results of our competitive survey. Nonetheless, STR data provide the best indication of aggregate growth or decline in existing supply and demand; thus, these trends have been considered in our analysis. Opening dates, as available, are presented for each reporting hotel in the previous table. The STR data for the competitive set reflect a market-wide occupancy level of 65.9% in 2012, which compares to 67.1% for 2011. The overall average occupancy level for the calendar years presented equates to 64.0%. Local employers and headquarter offices in the area, the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and the Mall of America represent the primary sources of demand for the selected competitive set of hotels in this market. Market-wide occupancy declined between 2001 and 2003, primarily due to the opening of the SpringHill Suites Minneapolis Eden Prairie and the Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Bloomington. After the quick absorption of the new supply, the market realized year-over-year occupancy increases in 2004 and 2005, largely due to stronger corporate travel and overall economic growth in the Eden Prairie area; occupancy fluctuated between 2006 and 2007. However, occupancy fell in 2008 with the onset of the financial crisis and the opening of the Hilton Bloomington; the decline continued into 2009, concurrent with the Great Recession. Demand then returned to this resilient market in 2010, with market occupancy posting a 12.6% increase. In 2011, occupancy rose only slightly, but declined once again in 2012. The latest year-todate data for 2013 show a slight decrease, attributed to an increasing level of supply in the adjacent markets, as well as the changes and layoffs experienced at SuperValu. The STR data for the competitive set reflect a market-wide average rate level of $114.55 in 2012, which compares to $110.27 for 2011. The average across all calendar years presented for average rate equates to $112.85. Average rates in this primarily corporate market fell in 2002 and 2003, followed by positive growth from 2004 through 2008 during stronger economic times. However, average rate growth began to slow in late 2008, concurrent with the onset of the recession, and rates declined in 2009 and 2010. Rate recovery then set in, with the market noting month-over-month increases from January of 2011 through September 2013, with the exception of one month. This trend indicates rate recovery is underway as economic conditions strengthen and demand levels continue to rise.

March-2014 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 49 SUPPLY Based on an evaluation of the occupancy, rate structure, market orientation, chain affiliation, location, facilities, amenities, reputation, and quality of each area hotel, as well as the comments of management representatives, we have identified several properties that are expected to be primarily competitive with the proposed subject hotel. If applicable, additional lodging facilities may be judged only secondarily competitive; although the facilities, rate structures, or market orientations of these hotels prevent their inclusion among the primary competitive supply, they are expected to compete with the proposed subject hotel to some extent. The following table summarizes the important operating characteristics of the future primary competitors and the aggregate secondary competitors (if applicable). This information was compiled from personal interviews, inspections, lodging directories, and our in-house library of operating data. The table also sets forth each property’s penetration factors; penetration is the ratio between a specific hotel’s operating results and the corresponding data for the market. If the penetration factor is greater than 100%, the property is performing better than the market as a whole; conversely, if the penetration is less than 100%, the hotel is performing at a level below the market-wide average.

The Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites, Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton (former Sofitel), and Westin are located in adjacent suburbs to Eden Prairie. All secondary competitors are full-service properties that compete with select-service hotels in Eden Prairie for meeting and group business, as well as a small percentage of corporate demand. Supply Changes It is important to consider any new hotels that may have an impact on the proposed subject hotel’s operating performance. Based upon our research and inspection (as applicable), new supply considered in our analysis is presented in the following table. FIGURE 4-10 NEW SUPPLY Total Proposed Property Proposed Hotel (Subject) Hampton Inn & Suites Totals/Averages Number of Rooms 120 80 200 Competitive Level 100 % 0 Weighted Room Count Estimated Opening Date 120 0 June 1, 2015 May 1, 2015 Developer City/TBD Developer Torgerson Properties Development Stage Early Development Early Development 120 Due to its location in the city of Bloomington, which is approximately six miles from Eden Prairie, and its limited-service product type, the Hampton Inn & Suites has only been considered qualitatively in our positioning of the proposed subject property's stabilized occupancy level. In addition, several other hotel projects are proposed near the Mall of America, in Bloomington. While we have taken reasonable steps to investigate proposed hotel projects and their status, due to the nature of real estate development, it is impossible to determine with certainty every hotel that will be opened in the future, or what their marketing strategies and effect in the market will be. Depending on the outcome of current and future projects, the future operating potential of the proposed subject hotel may be positively or negatively affected. Future improvement in market conditions will raise the risk of increased competition. Our forthcoming forecast of stabilized occupancy and average rate is intended to reflect such risk. Supply Conclusion March-2014 We have identified various properties that are expected to be competitive to some degree with the proposed subject hotel. We have also investigated potential increases in competitive supply in this Eden Prairie submarket. The Proposed Hotel should enter a dynamic market of varying product types and price points. Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 60 Next, we will present our forecast for demand change, using the historical supply data presented as a starting point. The following table presents the most recent trends for the subject hotel market as tracked by HVS. These data pertain to the competitors discussed previously in this section; performance results are estimated, rounded for the competition, and in some cases weighted if there are secondary competitors present. In this respect, the information in the table differs from the previously presented STR data and is consistent with the supply and demand analysis developed for this report.

Annual Compounded Demand Analysis Using Market Segmentation For the purpose of demand analysis, the overall market is divided into individual segments based on the nature of travel. Based on our fieldwork, area analysis, and knowledge of the local lodging market, we estimate the 2012 distribution of accommodated-room-night demand as follows. FIGURE 4-12 ACCOMMODATED ROOM NIGHT DEMAND Market Segment Marketwide Accommodated Percentage Demand of Total Commercial Meeting and Group Leisure 243,850 84,083 76,358 60 % 21 19 Total 404,291 100 % The market’s demand mix comprises commercial demand, with this segment representing roughly 60% of the accommodated room nights in this Eden Prairie submarket. The remaining portion comprises meeting and group at 21%, with the final portion leisure in nature, reflecting 19%. March-2014 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 61 Using the distribution of accommodated hotel demand as a starting point, we will analyze the characteristics of each market segment in an effort to determine future trends in room-night demand. Commercial Segment Commercial demand consists mainly of individual businesspeople passing through the subject market or visiting area businesses, in addition to high-volume corporate accounts generated by local firms. Brand loyalty (particularly frequenttraveler programs), as well as location and convenience with respect to businesses and amenities, influence lodging choices in this segment. Companies typically designate hotels as “preferred” accommodations in return for more favorable rates, which are discounted in proportion to the number of room nights produced by a commercial client. Commercial demand is strongest Monday through Thursday nights, declines significantly on Friday and Saturday, and increases somewhat on Sunday night. It is relatively constant throughout the year, with marginal declines in late December and during other holiday periods. Major factors considered in the development of our growth rates for the commercial demand segment include the presence of several major corporate headquarters offices and potential new office developments in the area. Fortune 500 companies, such as SuperValu, UnitedHealth Group/Optum, and C.H. Robinson Worldwide, are expected to continue to support demand within this segment. Other companies, such as TDS's OneNeck IT Solutions, have recently expanded operations in the area, which should bode well for lodging demand. Moreover, the potential development of additional office space at the Flying Cloud Airport and the construction of the proposed Southwest LRT should increase economic activity in the area, lending to demand growth in the future. Considering both current and historical trends, we project demand change rates of -2.0% in 2013, 1.0% in 2014, and 1.5% in 2015. After these first three projection years, we have forecast demand change rates of 1.5% in 2016 and 1.0% in 2017. Meeting and Group Segment March-2014 The meeting and group market includes meetings, seminars, conventions, trade association shows, and similar gatherings of ten or more people. Peak convention demand typically occurs in the spring and fall. Although there are numerous classifications within the meeting and group segment, the primary categories considered in this analysis are corporate groups, associations, and SMERFE (social, military, ethnic, religious, fraternal, and educational) groups. Corporate groups typically meet during the business week, most commonly in the spring and fall months. These groups tend to be the most profitable for hotels, as they typically pay higher rates and usually generate ancillary revenues including food and beverage and/or banquet revenue. SMERFE groups are typically price-sensitive and tend to meet on weekends and during the summer months or holiday season, when greater discounts are usually available; these groups generate limited ancillary revenues. Association demand is generally divided on a geographical Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 62 basis, with national, regional, and state associations representing the most common sources. Professional associations and/or those supported by members' employers often meet on weekdays, while other associations prefer to hold events on weekends. The profile and revenue potential of associations varies depending on the group and the purpose of the meeting or event. Meeting and group demand in this market is highly driven by the market’s dependence on local corporate sources for group business. As such, the growth of existing companies and development of additional office space in the subject neighborhood is expected to increase group room-block needs. This increase is anticipated to be partially offset by the submarket's proximity to Downtown Minneapolis, which offers a substantial supply of meeting, banquet, and exhibit space at the convention center, as well as meeting space at the full-service hotel properties located in Downtown Minneapolis, Bloomington, Edina, and Minnetonka. However, the development of the proposed hotel in Eden Prairie should help to capture some of the group demand that leaks into other suburbs. We anticipate modest growth to occur within this demand segment. Considering both current and historical trends, we project demand change rates of -2.0% in 2013, 1.0% in 2014, and 1.5% in 2015. After these first three projection years, we have forecast demand change rates of 1.0% in 2016 and 0.5% in 2017. Leisure Segment Leisure demand consists of individuals and families spending time in an area or passing through en route to other destinations. Travel purposes include sightseeing, recreation, or visiting friends and relatives. Leisure demand also includes room nights booked through Internet sites such as Expedia, Hotels.com, and Priceline; however, leisure may not be the purpose of the stay. This demand may also include business travelers and group and convention attendees who use these channels to take advantage of any discounts that may be available on these sites. Leisure demand is strongest Friday and Saturday nights, and all week during holiday periods and the summer months. These peak periods represent the inverse of commercial visitation trends, underscoring the stabilizing effect of capturing weekend and summer tourist travel. Future leisure demand is related to the overall economic health of the region and the nation. Trends showing changes in state and regional unemployment and disposable personal income correlate strongly with leisure travel levels. Leisure demand is strongest in the summer months and around the year-end holidays. Leisure demand in the area is primarily generated by regional sports tournaments and compression from the professional sports facilities located in the Twin Cities, as well as school and holiday shopping at the Mall of America in Bloomington and the Eden Prairie Center Mall. These destinations draw primarily weekend demand from around the state and region. Growth related to these sources should continue to expand modestly in the near term. Considering both March-2014 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 63 current and historical trends, we project demand change rates of -1.5% in 2013, 2.0% in 2014, and 2.5% in 2015. After these first three projection years, we have forecast demand change rates of 1.5% in 2016 and 1.0% in 2017. The purpose of segmenting the lodging market is to define each major type of demand, identify customer characteristics, and estimate future growth trends. Starting with an analysis of the local area, three segments were defined as representing the subject property’s lodging market. Various types of economic and demographic data were then evaluated to determine their propensity to reflect changes in hotel demand. Based on this procedure, we forecast the following average annual compounded market-segment growth rates. Conclusion FIGURE 4-13 AVERAGE ANNUAL COMPOUNDED MARKET SEGMENT GROWTH RATES Market Segment 2013 2014 Annual Growth Rate 2015 2016 2017 2018 Commercial Meeting and Group Leisure -2.0 % -2.0 -1.5 1.0 % 1.0 2.0 1.5 % 1.5 2.5 1.5 % 1.0 1.5 1.0 % 0.5 1.0 0.5 % 0.0 0.5 Base Demand Growth -1.9 % 1.2 % 1.7 % 1.4 % 0.9 % 0.4 % Latent Demand A table presented earlier in this section illustrated the accommodated-room-night demand in the subject property’s competitive market. Because this estimate is based on historical occupancy levels, it includes only those hotel rooms that were used by guests. Latent demand reflects potential room-night demand that has not been realized by the existing competitive supply; this type of demand can be divided into unaccommodated demand and induced demand. Unaccommodated Demand Unaccommodated demand refers to individuals who are unable to secure accommodations in the market because all the local hotels are filled. These travelers must defer their trips, settle for less desirable accommodations, or stay in properties located outside the market area. Because this demand did not yield occupied room nights, it is not included in the estimate of historical accommodated-room-night demand. If additional lodging facilities are expected to enter the market, it is reasonable to assume that these guests will be able to secure hotel rooms in the future, and it is therefore necessary to quantify this demand. Unaccommodated demand is further indicated if the market is at all seasonal, with distinct high and low seasons; such seasonality indicates that although year-end March-2014 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 64 occupancy may not average in excess of 70%, the market sells out many nights during the year. The following table presents our estimate of unaccommodated demand in the subject market. FIGURE 4-14 UNACCOMMODATED DEMAND ESTIMATE Market Segment Accommodated Room Night Demand Unaccommodated Demand Percentage Unaccommodated Room Night Demand 11,460 2,706 3,429 Commercial Meeting and Group Leisure 243,850 84,083 76,358 4.7 % 3.2 4.5 Total 404,291 4.4 % 17,595 Our interviews with market participants found that the market generally sells out on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from February through October, as well as on Friday and Saturday during the peak summer season. A portion of this demand, which is currently turned away, should return to the market concurrent with the supply increase. Accordingly, we have forecast unaccommodated demand equivalent to 4.4% of the base-year demand, resulting from our analysis of monthly and weekly peak demand and sell-out trends. Induced Demand Induced demand represents the additional room nights that are expected to be attracted to the market following the introduction of a new demand generator. Situations that can result in induced demand include the opening of a new manufacturing plant, the expansion of a convention center, or the addition of a new hotel with a distinct chain affiliation or unique facilities. Although increases in demand are expected in the local market, we have accounted for this growth in the determination of market-segment growth rates rather than induced demand. Accommodated Demand and Marketwide Occupancy Based upon a review of the market dynamics in the subject property’s competitive environment, we have forecast growth rates for each market segment. Using the calculated potential demand for the market, we have determined market-wide accommodated demand based on the inherent limitations of demand fluctuations and other factors in the market area. The following table details our projection of lodging demand growth for the subject market, including the total number of occupied room nights and any residual unaccommodated demand in the market.

March-2014 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 67 5. Description of the Proposed Project The quality of a lodging facility's physical improvements has a direct influence on marketability, attainable occupancy, and average room rate. The design and functionality of the structure can also affect operating efficiency and overall profitability. This section investigates the subject property's proposed physical improvements and personal property in an effort to determine how they are expected to contribute to attainable cash flows. Project Overview The City of Eden Prairie is looking into the development of a full-service or selectservice hotel and has four potential site locations for such development; however, a specific site had not been chosen at the time of our report. We have analyzed the locations of the sites in regard to their proximity to demand generators, retail establishments, and entertainment venues. We recommend that the proposed subject hotel operate as an upscale, select-service property, such as an Aloft or a comparable brand. It is important to note that the full-service hotels located outside of Eden Prairie achieve higher average rates than many of the limited-and select-service hotels in Eden Prairie; however, because of their size and higher concentration of group business, their RevPAR is comparable, or only slightly higher than the selectservice hotels. Select-service hotels are less expensive to build and typically generate higher net-operating-income (NOI) ratios than full-service hotels. Therefore, given the limited difference in RevPAR levels, it is our recommendation that a select-service hotel be considered for development in Eden Prairie. After reaching out to numerous hotel companies to verify the availability of brands for the proposed subject hotel, and based on our conversations with hotel brand representatives, the following brands are available for development in Eden Prairie: March-2014 · Aloft · Wyndham Garden Inn · Radisson Red · Four Points by Sheraton · Hotel Indigo Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 68 · Ramada · Cambria Suites While these brands represent multiple parent hotel companies, based on our review of the national performance of each of these brand, our first recommendation would be Aloft because of its overall 2013 performance across the United States.

The following table summarizes the facilities that we recommend be available at the proposed subject hotel. Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 71 FIGURE 5-1 PROPOSED FACILITIES SUMMARY Guestroom Configuration Number of Units King Queen/Queen 77 43 Total 120 Food & Beverage Facilities Grab-and-Go Gourmet Eatery Lobby Bar Indoor Meeting & Banquet Facilities Square Footage Meeting Space 5,000 - 7,500 Amenities & Services Indoor Swimming Pool Indoor Whirpool Exercise Room Lobby Workstations Guest Laundry Facility Outdoor Patio Infrastructure Parking Spaces Elevators Life-Safety Systems Construction Details Site Improvements and Hotel Structure TBD based on zoning 2 Guest, 1 Service Sprinklers, Smoke Detectors Concrete Slab; Reinforced Concrete and Metal; EIFS Once guests enter the site, ample parking should be available on a surface lot or subterranean parking lot underneath the hotel, depending on the constraints of the site. Site improvements are expected to include freestanding signage at the main entrance point to the development, which should direct motorists to the hotel's main entrance (additional signage is also anticipated to be placed on the exterior of the building). We assume that all signage will adequately identify the property and meet brand standards. Landscaping should allow for a positive guest impression and competitive exterior appearance. Sidewalks should be present along the front entrance and around the perimeter of the hotel. The expected site improvements for the property should be adequate to provide for an upscale lodging experience. The hotel structure will likely comprise one single building, to be constructed of steel and reinforced concrete and finished with EIFS or stucco, featuring stone accents on the ground level and near the main entrance. Several elevators and March-2014 Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 72 stairways will provide internal vertical transportation within the main structure as needed. The hotel roof will most likely be constructed of concrete and a rubbermembrane roofing system. Double-paned windows will reduce noise transmission into the rooms. Heating and cooling will be provided by centralized systems. The building components are expected to be normal for a hotel of this type and should meet the standards for this market. We assume that all structural components will meet local building codes and that no significant defaults will occur during construction that would impact the future operating potential of the hotel or delay its assumed opening date. Lobby Guests should enter the hotel through a single set of automatic doors, which open to a vestibule, and then through a second set of automatic doors. The lobby should be average in size and appropriate for an upscale, select-service hotel, featuring an open lobby concept with varied seating areas, wireless Internet access, and complimentary recreational games, such as a billiards table. The lobby walls should be attractively finished with an upscale material that is in line with brand standards. The front desk should feature a stone or glass countertop, installed with appropriate property management and telephone systems. The furnishings and finishes in this space should offer an appropriate first impression, and the design of the space should lend itself to adequate efficiency. We assume that all property management and guestroom technology will be appropriately installed for the effective management of hotel operations.

March-2014 Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 77 FIRST FLOOR PLAN Meeting and Banquet Space Based on market demand, and in consideration of brand standards, it is our recommendation that the proposed hotel offer at least 5,000 to 7,500 square feet of meeting space. We would anticipate the integration of fully divisible primary meeting space along with additional smaller secondary meeting rooms, including a boardroom-type space. This amount of meeting space should be appropriate for a hotel of this type and would be assumed to meet brand standards. Public restrooms near the entrance to the meeting space should enhance the overall functionality of the area. The number of people that can be accommodated in a typical meeting facility that measures between 5,000 and 7,500 square feet may vary depending on the configuration of such space, as well as the available number meeting rooms that are able to break out into smaller rooms. The following table illustrates the approximate capacity that can be accommodated.

The hotel should offer a state-of-the-art exercise room that can be accessed 24 hours a day with a guest Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 81 room key. The exercise room is expected to be located on the main floor. Restrooms should be present off of the pool area and adjacent to the exercise room. Additional Amenities Other amenities are expected to include lobby workstations and a guest laundry facility, as well as ice machines on each guestroom floor. Overall, the supporting facilities should be appropriate for a hotel of this type, and we assume that they will meet the brand standards of the selected affiliation. Guestrooms As an upscale, select-service property, the hotel should feature standard guestroom configurations, with guestrooms present on the aboveground levels of the structure. The guestrooms are expected to be of a standard size, offering typical amenities for this product type. In addition to the standard furnishings, rooms should also feature an in-room safe, a mini-refrigerator, and a modern plugand-play connectivity center (for laptop, MP3 player, camcorder, video game console, etc.). Other amenities should include wired and wireless high speed Internet, coffee and tea service, and various lifestyle magazines. Overall, the guestrooms should offer a competitive product for this neighborhood. Guestroom bathrooms will be of a standard size, with an oversized shower featuring a window that separates it from the sleeping and living area, a commode, and a single bowl sink with vanity area, featuring a granite countertop. The floors will be finished with tile, and the walls will be finished with wallcovering. Bathrooms will feature a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. Overall, the bathroom design should appeal to the upscale traveler and conform to the selected brand's standards.

Corridor carpet, wallcovering, signage, and lighting will be in keeping with the overall look and design of the rest of the property. Back-of-the-House, ADA, and Environmental The hotel will be served by the necessary back-of-the-house space, including an inhouse laundry facility, administrative offices, and a kitchen to service the needs of food and beverage operation. These spaces should be adequate for a hotel of this type and should allow for the efficient operation of the property under competent management. We assume that the property will be built according to all pertinent codes and brand standards. Moreover, we assume its construction will not create any environmental hazards (such as mold) and that the property will fully comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Capital Expenditures March-2014 Our analysis assumes that, after its opening, the hotel will require ongoing upgrades and periodic renovations in order to maintain its competitive level in this market and to remain compliant with brand standards. These costs should be adequately funded by the forecasted reserve for replacement, as long as a successful, ongoing preventive-maintenance program is employed by hotel staff. Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 85 Conclusion March-2014 Overall, the proposed subject property should offer a well-designed, functional layout of support areas and guestrooms. All typical and market-appropriate features and amenities are expected to be included in the hotel's design. We assume that the building will be fully open and operational on the stipulated opening date and will meet all local building codes and applicable brand standards. Furthermore, we assume that the hotel staff will be adequately trained to allow for a successful opening and that pre-marketing efforts will have introduced the product to major local accounts at least six months in advance of the opening date. Description of the Proposed Project Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 86 6. Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Along with average rate results, the occupancy levels achieved by a hotel are the foundation of the property's financial performance and market value. Most of a lodging facility's other revenue sources (such as food, beverages, other operated departments, and rentals and other income) are driven by the number of guests, and many expense levels vary with occupancy. To a certain degree, occupancy attainment can be manipulated by management. For example, hotel operators may choose to lower rates in an effort to maximize occupancy. Our forecasts reflect an operating strategy that we believe would be implemented by a typical, professional hotel management team to achieve an optimal mix of occupancy and average rate. Penetration Rate Analysis The subject property's forecasted market share and occupancy levels are based upon its anticipated competitive position within the market, as quantified by its penetration rate. The penetration rate is the ratio of a property's market share to its fair share. A complete discussion of the concept of penetration is presented in the addenda. Historical Penetration Rates by Market Segment In the following table, the penetration rates attained by the primary competitors and the aggregate secondary competitors are set forth for each segment for the base year. Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Eden Prairie Fairfield Inn by Marriott Eden Prairie Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Eden Prairie Hyatt Place Minneapolis Eden Prairie SpringHill Suites by Marriott Minneapolis Eden Prairie Secondary Competition 125 % 116 149 113 141 84 24 % 72 27 50 55 131 106 % 80 89 139 90 98 Ov era ll Co m Property L ei sur e Me e ti ng Gro and up HISTORICAL PENETRATION RATES me r ci al FIGURE 6-1 100 % 100 112 105 113 97 The Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Eden Prairie achieved the highest penetration rate within the commercial segment. The highest penetration rate in the meeting March-2014 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 87 and group segment was achieved by the secondary competition, while the Hyatt Place Minneapolis Eden Prairie led the market with the highest leisure penetration rate. Forecast of Subject Property’s Occupancy Because the supply and demand balance for the competitive market is dynamic, there is a circular relationship between the penetration factors of each hotel in the market. The performance of individual new hotels has a direct effect upon the aggregate performance of the market, and consequently upon the calculated penetration factor for each hotel in each market segment. The same is true when the performance of existing hotels changes, either positively (following a refurbishment, for example) or negatively (when a poorly maintained or marketed hotel loses market share). A hotel’s penetration factor is calculated as its achieved market share of demand divided by its fair share of demand. Thus, if one hotel’s penetration performance increases, thereby increasing its achieved market share, this leaves less demand available in the market for the other hotels to capture and the penetration performance of one or more of those other hotels consequently declines (other things remaining equal). This type of market share adjustment takes place every time there is a change in supply, or a change in the relative penetration performance of one or more hotels in the competitive market. Our projections of penetration, demand capture, and occupancy performance for the subject property account for these types of adjustments to market share within the defined competitive market. Consequently, the actual penetration factors applicable to the subject property and its competitors for each market segment in each projection year may vary somewhat from the penetration factors delineated in the previous tables. The following tables set forth, by market segment, the projected adjusted penetration rates for the proposed subject hotel and each hotel in the competitive set. It is important to note that our recommendation of the Aloft flag is based on the national performance of the brand, its affiliation with a significant parent hotel company, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and the flexibility the brand allows for meeting space, which would serve the needs of the community. Business travelers and meeting planners alike look to brands with which they are familiar and have frequent traveler benefits. For corporate and group business alike, Marriott, Hilton, and Starwood perform at the top of the market in terms of demand captured.

While other full-service hotels in this competitive market focus on groups and leisure guests, the proposed subject hotel will be ideally suited for corporate demand. FIGURE 6-3 MEETING AND GROUP SEGMENT ADJUSTED PENETRATION RATES Hotel 2012 Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Eden Prairie Fairfield Inn by Marriott Eden Prairie Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Eden Prairie Hyatt Place Minneapolis Eden Prairie SpringHill Suites by Marriott Minneapolis Eden Prairie Secondary Competition Proposed Select-Service Hotel Hampton Inn & Suites 24 % 72 27 50 55 131 — — 2013 24 % 72 27 50 55 131 — — 2014 24 % 72 27 50 55 131 — — 2015 25 % 74 28 51 56 134 46 — 2016 25 % 75 28 52 56 136 52 — 2017 25 % 75 28 52 56 135 57 — 2018 25 % 75 28 52 56 135 57 — As noted previously, area hotels benefit from local corporate sources for group business; however, most of this demand is forced to utilize full-service hotels in the competitive set in adjacent suburbs because of the lack of large meeting facilities in Eden Prairie. These full-service hotels are likely to continue to attract group related demand because of their larger meeting facilities. However, the proposed hotel is expected to include larger than prototypical meeting facilities for a select-service hotel. Therefore, the proposed subject hotel's considerable amount of on-site meeting space for a property of this type should lead to a relatively strong meeting and group penetration rate. Furthermore, if developed as an Aloft, the hotel would be the only Starwood-branded hotel in the Eden Prairie market.

The adjacent suburbs are replete with upscale retail outlets, restaurants, and entertainment venues. With the proposed subject hotel’s location being favorable to weekend uses in a market typically known for lower rates than those in Downtown Minneapolis, we would anticipate the hotel to experience high levels of peak weekend demand, with weekend-transient leisure supplemented by some weekend group business. The proposed subject hotel is forecast to realize a leisure penetration level above fair share by the stabilized year. These positioned segment penetration rates result in the following market segmentation forecast.

The stabilized occupancy is intended to reflect the anticipated results of the property over its remaining economic life, given all changes in the life cycle of the hotel. Thus, the stabilized occupancy excludes from consideration any abnormal relationship between supply and demand, as well as any nonrecurring conditions that may result in unusually high or low occupancies. Although the subject property may operate at occupancies above this stabilized level, we believe it equally possible for new competition and temporary economic downturns to force the occupancy below this selected point of stability. March-2014 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 91 Average Rate Analysis One of the most important considerations in estimating the value of a lodging facility is a supportable forecast of its attainable average rate, which is more formally defined as the average rate per occupied room. Average rate can be calculated by dividing the total rooms revenue achieved during a specified period by the number of rooms sold during the same period. The projected average rate and the anticipated occupancy percentage are used to forecast rooms revenue, which in turn provides the basis for estimating most other income and expense categories. Competitive Position The following table summarizes the historical range of average rate of the subject property’s future primary competitors. FIGURE 6-7 BASE-YEAR AVERAGE RATE OF THE COMPETITORS Property Courtyard by Marriott Minneapolis Eden Prairie Fairfield Inn by Marriott Eden Prairie Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Eden Prairie Hyatt Place Minneapolis Eden Prairie SpringHill Suites by Marriott Minneapolis Eden Prairie Average - Primary Competitors Average - Secondary Competitors Overall Average Estimated 2012 Average Room Rate $110-115 90-95 115-120 95-100 70-75 $98.26 120.96 $112.36 The defined primarily competitive market realized an overall average rate of $98.26 in the 2012 base year, declining from the 2011 level of $103.82. The Embassy Suites Bloomington, a secondary competitor, achieved the highest estimated average rate in the local competitive market, by a significant margin, because of its Hilton brand affiliation, all-suite accommodations, and its proximity to strong demand generators, including the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Among the primary competitors, the Hilton Garden Inn achieved the highest estimated average rate given the hotel's strong brand affiliation and proximity to major demand generators, such as UnitedHealth Partners/Optum, SuperValu, and ShopNBC. Other important rate aspects of this market include a hotel's proximity to Interstate 494 and convenient access to area attractions, such as restaurants, retail establishments, and entertainment venues. The selected rate position for the proposed subject hotel, in base-year dollars, takes into consideration factors such as its new construction, location in Eden Prairie, and March-2014 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 92 expected affiliation with a strong national brand. We have selected the rate position of $110.00, in base-year dollars, for the proposed subject. As illustrated previously, the average rate for the primarily competitive market averaged $103.82 in 2011, before reaching $98.26 in 2012. Market-wide rates began to trend upward in 2011. We expect average rates to continue to improve given the stable market dynamics in this Eden Prairie submarket, including a rise in higher-rated corporate accounts at the hotels in the primary competitive set. Based on these considerations, the following table illustrates the projected average rate and the growth rates assumed. As a context for the average rate growth factors, note that we have applied underlying inflation rates of 2.5%, 2.5%, and 3.0% thereafter for each respective year following the base year of 2012.

This is followed by growth rates of 3.5% and 3.0% in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The Eden Prairie market should enjoy positive rate growth through the near term. The proposed subject hotel's rate position should reflect growth similar to market trends because of the proposed hotel's new facility, strong brand affiliation, and potential location near a number of commercial demand generators. The proposed subject hotel’s penetration rate is forecast to reach 98.4% by the stabilized period. The North American lodging market bottomed out in late 2009, at which time demand rebounded and the supply pipeline diminished. In 2010, occupancy rebounded strongly, and by 2011, average rates in most U.S. markets showed increases. By year-end 2013, occupancy approached the levels realized during the 2005–2007 timeframe, and average rate surpassed the prior 2008 peak. In many March-2014 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 93 primary markets, strong occupancy levels and a lack of new supply are allowing hotel operators to make continued, aggressive average rate gains in 2014. While average rate growth is strong in some secondary and tertiary markets, it may be limited in the near term by the entrance of new supply. With demand now recovered from the correction in 2009, and new supply remaining muted in 2014 and 2015, markets should be able to support healthy average rate gains in the near term. A new property must establish its reputation and a client base in the market during its ramp-up period; as such, the proposed subject hotel’s average rate in the initial operating period has been discounted to reflect this likelihood. We forecast a 3.0% discount to the proposed subject hotel’s forecast room rate in the first operating year, which would be typical for a new operation of this type. The following occupancies and average rates will be used to project the subject property's rooms revenue. This forecast reflects years beginning on June 1, 2015 and corresponds with our financial projections.

Projection of Income and Expense In this chapter of our report, we have compiled a forecast of income and expense for the proposed subject hotel. This forecast is based on the facilities program set forth previously, as well as the occupancy and average rate forecast discussed previously. The forecast of income and expense is expressed in current dollars for each year. The stabilized year is intended to reflect the anticipated operating results of the property over its remaining economic life, given any or all applicable stages of build-up, plateau, and decline in the life cycle of the hotel. Thus, income and expense estimates from the stabilized year forward exclude from consideration any abnormal relationship between supply and demand, as well as any nonrecurring conditions that may result in unusual revenues or expenses. The tenyear period reflects the typical holding period of large real estate assets such as hotels. In addition, the ten-year period provides for the stabilization of income streams and comparison of yields with alternate types of real estate. The forecasted income streams reflect the future benefits of owning specific rights in income-producing real estate. Comparable Operating Statements March-2014 In order to project future income and expense for the proposed subject hotel, we have included a sample of individual comparable operating statements from our database of hotel statistics. All financial data are presented according to the three most common measures of industry performance: ratio to sales (RTS), amounts per available room (PAR), and amounts per occupied room night (POR). These historical income and expense statements will be used as benchmarks in our forthcoming forecast of income and expense.

The comparable properties achieved a house profit ranging from 30.9% to 50.7% of total revenue. We will refer to the comparable operating data in our discussion of each line item, which follows later in this section of the report. Fixed and Variable Component Analysis March-2014 HVS uses a fixed and variable component model to project a lodging facility's revenue and expense levels. This model is based on the premise that hotel revenues and expenses have one component that is fixed and another that varies directly with occupancy and facility usage. A projection can be made by taking a Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 98 known level of revenue or expense and calculating its fixed and variable components. The fixed component is then increased in tandem with the underlying rate of inflation, while the variable component is adjusted for a specific measure of volume such as total revenue. The actual forecast is derived by adjusting each year’s revenue and expense by the amount fixed (the fixed expense multiplied by the inflated base-year amount) plus the variable amount (the variable expense multiplied by the inflated base-year amount) multiplied by the ratio of the projection year’s occupancy to the base-year occupancy (in the case of departmental revenue and expense) or the ratio of the projection year’s revenue to the base year’s revenue (in the case of undistributed operating expenses). Fixed expenses remain fixed, increasing only with inflation. Our discussion of the revenue and expense forecast in this report is based upon the output derived from the fixed and variable model. This forecast of revenue and expense is accomplished through a systematic approach, following the format of the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry. Each category of revenue and expense is estimated separately and combined at the end in the final statement of income and expense. Inflation Assumption March-2014 A general rate of inflation must be established that will be applied to most revenue and expense categories. The following table shows inflation estimates made by economists at some noted institutions and corporations.

The same group expects a slightly higher annualized 1.7% inflation rate for June 2014. These rates are lower than the inflation rate averages for December 2014 and June 2015, shown at 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively. As a further check on these inflation projections, we have reviewed historical increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). Because the value of real estate is predicated on cash flows over a relatively long period, inflation should be considered from a long-term perspective.

In 2013, the CPI rose by 1.5%, a decrease from the level of 2.1% recorded in 2012. In consideration of the most recent trends, the projections set forth previously, and our assessment of probable property appreciation levels, we have applied underlying inflation rates of 2.5%, 2.5%, and 3.0% thereafter for each respective year following the base year of 2012. This stabilized inflation rate takes into account normal, recurring inflation cycles. Inflation is likely to fluctuate above and March-2014 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 101 below this level during the projection period. Any exceptions to the application of the assumed underlying inflation rate are discussed in our write-up of individual income and expense items. Summary of Projections March-2014 Based on an analysis that will be detailed throughout this section, we have formulated a forecast of income and expense. The following table presents a detailed forecast through the fifth projection year, including amounts per available room and per occupied room. The second table illustrates our ten-year forecast of income and expense, presented with a lesser degree of detail. The forecasts pertain to years that begin on June 1, 2015, expressed in inflated dollars for each year.

We anticipate that it will take three years for the subject property to reach a stabilized level of operation. Each revenue and expense item has been forecast based upon our review of the proposed subject hotel’s operating budget and comparable income and expense statements. The forecast is based upon fiscal years beginning June 1, 2015, expressed in inflated dollars for each year. Rooms Revenue Rooms revenue is determined by two variables: occupancy and average rate. We projected occupancy and average rate in a previous section of this report. The proposed subject hotel is expected to stabilize at an occupancy level of 71% with an average rate of $130.99 in 2017/18. Following the stabilized year, the subject property’s average rate is projected to increase along with the underlying rate of inflation. Food and Beverage Revenue Food and beverage revenue is generated by a hotel's restaurants, lounges, coffee shops, snack bars, banquet rooms, and room service. In addition to providing a source of revenue, these outlets serve as an amenity that assists in the sale of guestrooms. With the exception of properties with active lounges or banquet facilities that draw local residents, in-house guests generally represent a substantial percentage of a hotel's food and beverage patrons. In the case of the Proposed Select-Service Hotel, the food and beverage department will include a grab-n-go snack bar and a lobby bar; moreover, banquet space is expected to span between 5,000 and 7,500 square feet. Although food and beverage revenue varies directly with changes in occupancy, the small portion generated by banquet sales and outside capture is relatively fixed. The comparable statements illustrated food and beverage revenue between $6.94 and $20.26 per occupied room. The proposed subject hotel's food and beverage operation is expected to be an important component of the hotel. Therefore, based upon our review of comparable operating statements, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level given the hotel's planned facility and price point. We would expect future moderate growth to occur within this category after the hotel's opening. We project food and beverage revenue to be $15.33 per occupied room in the first projection year. This per-occupied-room amount increases to $17.43 for food and beverage revenue by the stabilized year. Other Operated Departments Revenue March-2014 According to the Uniform System of Accounts, other operated departments include any major or minor operated department other than rooms and food and beverage. The proposed subject hotel's other operated departments revenue sources are expected to include the hotel's telephone charges. Based on our review Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 105 of operations with a similar extent of offerings, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level for the proposed subject hotel. The comparable operating statements illustrate other operated departments revenue ranging from 1.0% to 2.9% of rooms revenue and $1.09 to $3.02 per occupied room. We forecast the proposed subject hotel’s other operated departments revenue to stabilize at 1.3% of rooms revenue or $1.74 per occupied room by the stabilized year, 2017/18. Rentals & Other Income The rentals and other income sources comprise those other than guestrooms, food and beverage, and the other operated departments. The proposed subject hotel's rentals and other income revenues are expected to be generated primarily by the guest laundry fees, business center services, and in-room movie and game charges. Based on our review of operations with a similar extent of offerings, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level for the proposed subject hotel. Rentals and other income revenue for the comparables ranged from $0.25 to $1.82 on a per-occupied-room basis. Changes in this revenue item through the projection period result from the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy. We forecast the proposed subject hotel’s rentals and other income to stabilize at $0.87 per occupied room by the stabilized year, 2017/18. Rooms Expense Rooms expense consists of items related to the sale and upkeep of guestrooms and public space. Salaries, wages, and employee benefits account for a substantial portion of this category. Although payroll varies somewhat with occupancy and managers can generally scale the level of service staff on hand to meet an expected occupancy level, much of a hotel's payroll is fixed. A base level of front desk personnel, housekeepers, and supervisors must be maintained at all times. As a result, salaries, wages, and employee benefits are only moderately sensitive to changes in occupancy. Commissions and reservations are usually based on room sales, and thus are highly sensitive to changes in occupancy and average rate. While guest supplies vary 100% with occupancy, linens and other operating expenses are only slightly affected by volume. The comparables illustrated rooms expense ranging between 18.3% and 22.9% of rooms revenue; on a per-occupied-room basis, the range was between $18.63 and $24.65. We have projected rooms expense for the proposed subject hotel at 20.2% in the first year (or $24.11 per occupied room), stabilizing at 18.5% in 2017/18 (or $24.23 per occupied room). The proposed subject hotel's rooms department expense has been positioned based upon our review of the comparable operating data and our understanding of the hotel's future service level and price point. March-2014 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 106 Food and Beverage Expense Food expenses consist of items necessary for the primary operation of a hotel's food and banquet facilities. The costs associated with food sales and payroll are moderately to highly correlated to food revenues. Items such as china, linen and uniforms are less dependent on volume. Although the other expense items are basically fixed, they represent a relatively insignificant factor. Beverage expenses consist of items necessary for the operation of a hotel’s lounge and bar areas. The costs associated with beverage sales and payroll are moderately to highly correlated to beverage revenues. The comparables illustrate food and beverage expense ranging between 68.6% and 106.8% of food and beverage revenue. We have projected a stabilized expense ratio of 80.0% in 2017/18. The proposed subject hotel's food and beverage operation is expected to be efficiently managed and operate at an expense level that is in line with other comparable operations offering a similar amount of meeting space. Other Operated Departments Expense Other operated departments expense includes all expenses reflected in the summary statements for the divisions associated in these categories. This was previously discussed in this chapter. The comparables illustrated other operated departments expense ranging between $1.57 and $2.54 per occupied room. We have projected a stabilized expense ratio of 150.0% in 2017/18. The proposed subject hotel's other operated departments revenue sources are expected to include the hotel's telephone charges. Based on our review of operations with a similar extent of offerings, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level for the proposed subject hotel. Administrative and General Expense Administrative and general expense includes the salaries and wages of all administrative personnel who are not directly associated with a particular department. Expense items related to the management and operation of the property are also allocated to this category. Most administrative and general expenses are relatively fixed. The exceptions are cash overages and shortages; commissions on credit card charges; provision for doubtful accounts, which are moderately affected by the number of transactions or total revenue; and salaries, wages, and benefits, which are very slightly influenced by volume. As a percentage of total revenue, the comparable operations indicate an administrative and general expense range from 8.1% to 10.7%, or $2,529 to $3,235 per available room. Based upon our review of the comparable operating data and the expected scope of facility for the proposed subject hotel, we have positioned the administrative and general expense level at a market- and property-supported level. In the first projection year, we have projected March-2014 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 107 administrative and general expense for the proposed subject hotel to be $3,083 per available room, or 9.5% of total revenue. By the 2017/18 stabilized year, these amounts change to $3,371 per available room and 8.6% of total revenue. Marketing Expense Marketing expense consists of all costs associated with advertising, sales, and promotion; these activities are intended to attract and retain customers. Marketing can be used to create an image, develop customer awareness, and stimulate patronage of a property's various facilities. The marketing category is unique in that all expense items, with the exception of fees and commissions, are totally controlled by management. Most hotel operators establish an annual marketing budget that sets forth all planned expenditures. If the budget is followed, total marketing expenses can be projected accurately. Marketing expenditures are unusual because although there is a lag period before results are realized, the benefits are often extended over a long period. Depending on the type and scope of the advertising and promotion program implemented, the lag time can be as short as a few weeks or as long as several years. However, the favorable results of an effective marketing campaign tend to linger, and a property often enjoys the benefits of concentrated sales efforts for many months. As a percentage of total revenue, the comparable operations indicate a marketing expense range from 1.5% to 9.1%, or $447 to $2,782 per available room. Based upon our review of the comparable operating data and the expected scope of facility for the proposed subject hotel, we have positioned the marketing expense level at a market- and property-supported level. In the first projection year, we have projected marketing expense for the proposed subject hotel to be $1,834 per available room, or 5.6% of total revenue. By the 2017/18 stabilized year, these amounts change to $1,743 per available room and 4.5% of total revenue. Franchise Fee As previously discussed, the subject is assumed to be franchised under the Aloft brand. Costs associated with this franchise are summarized in the introductory chapter in this report. Property Operations and Maintenance Property operations and maintenance expense is another expense category that is largely controlled by management. Except for repairs that are necessary to keep the facility open and prevent damage (e.g., plumbing, heating, and electrical items), most maintenance can be deferred for varying lengths of time. Maintenance is an accumulating expense. If management elects to postpone performing a required repair, they have not eliminated or saved the expenditure; they have only deferred payment until a later date. A lodging facility that operates March-2014 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 108 with a lower-than-normal maintenance budget is likely to accumulate a considerable amount of deferred maintenance. The age of a lodging facility has a strong influence on the required level of maintenance. A new or thoroughly renovated property is protected for several years by modern equipment and manufacturers' warranties. However, as a hostelry grows older, maintenance expenses escalate. A well-organized preventive maintenance system often helps delay deterioration, but most facilities face higher property operations and maintenance costs each year, regardless of the occupancy trend. The quality of initial construction can also have a direct impact on future maintenance requirements. The use of high-quality building materials and construction methods generally reduces the need for maintenance expenditures over the long term. As a percentage of total revenue, the comparable operations indicate a property operations and maintenance expense range from 2.8% to 6.5%, or $818 to $2,101 per available room. We expect the proposed subject hotel's maintenance operation to be well managed, and expense levels should stabilize at a typical level for a property of this type. Changes in this expense item through the projection period result from the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy. In the first projection year, we have projected property operations and maintenance expense for the proposed subject hotel to be $1,052 per available room, or 3.2% of total revenue. By the 2017/18 stabilized year, these amounts change to $1,278 per available room and 3.3% of total revenue. Utilities Expense The utilities consumption of a lodging facility takes several forms, including water and space heating, air conditioning, lighting, cooking fuel, and other miscellaneous power requirements. The most common sources of hotel utilities are electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and steam. This category also includes the cost of water service. Total energy cost depends on the source and quantity of fuel used. Electricity tends to be the most expensive source, followed by oil and gas. Although all hotels consume a sizable amount of electricity, many properties supplement their utility requirements with less expensive sources, such as gas and oil, for heating and cooking. As a percentage of total revenue, the comparable operations indicate a utilities expense range from 3.6% to 4.6%, or $1,102 to $1,721 per available room. The changes in this utilities line item through the projection period are a result of the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy. In the first projection year, we have projected utilities expense for the proposed subject hotel to be $1,276 per available room, or 3.9% of total revenue. By the March-2014 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 109 2017/18 stabilized year, these amounts change to $1,395 per available room and 3.6% of total revenue. Management Fee Management expense consists of the fees paid to the managing agent contracted to operate the property. Some companies provide management services and a brandname affiliation (first-tier management company), while others provide management services alone (second-tier management company). Some management contracts specify only a base fee (usually a percentage of total revenue), while others call for both a base fee and an incentive fee (usually a percentage of defined profit). Basic hotel management fees are often based on a percentage of total revenue, which means they have no fixed component. While base fees typically range from 2% to 4% of total revenue, incentive fees are dealspecific and often are calculated as a percentage of income available after debt service and, in some cases, after a preferred return on equity. Total management fees for the proposed subject hotel have been forecast at 3.0% of total revenue. Property Taxes Property (or ad valorem) tax is one of the primary revenue sources of municipalities. Based on the concept that the tax burden should be distributed in proportion to the value of all properties within a taxing jurisdiction, a system of assessments is established. Theoretically, the assessed value placed on each parcel bears a definite relationship to market value, so properties with equal market values will have similar assessments and properties with higher and lower values will have proportionately larger and smaller assessments. Depending on the taxing policy of the municipality, property taxes can be based on the value of the real property or the value of the personal property and the real property. We have based our estimate of the proposed subject property's market value (for tax purposes) on an analysis of assessments of comparable hotel properties in the local municipality.

We have positioned the overall assessment slightly above the Courtyard by Marriott and the Hilton Garden Inn because of the similarities in product type, while considering the new construction of the subject building. The positioned assessment is well supported by the market data. Tax rates are based on the city and county budgets, which change annually, and vary based on location. Because a specific site has not been selected, we have averaged the various tax rates in Eden Prairie for the purpose of this analysis, at 3.88. Based on comparable assessments and the tax rate information, the proposed subject property's projected property tax expense levels are calculated as follows.

Prop. Tax Rate Year The insurance expense category consists of the cost of insuring the hotel and its contents against damage or destruction by fire, weather, sprinkler leakage, boiler explosion, plate glass breakage, and so forth. General insurance costs also include premiums relating to liability, fidelity, and theft coverage. Insurance rates are based on many factors, including building design and construction, fire detection and extinguishing equipment, fire district, distance from the firehouse, and the area's fire experience. Insurance expenses do not vary with occupancy. Based on comparable data and the structural attributes of the proposed project, we have forecast the proposed subject hotel's insurance expense at $465 per available room by the stabilized year (positioned at $400 on a per-available-room basis in base-year dollars). This forecast equates to 1.2% of total revenue on a stabilized basis. In subsequent years, this amount is assumed to increase in tandem with inflation. Reserve for Replacement Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are essential to the operation of a lodging facility, and their quality often influences a property's class. This category includes all non-real estate items that are capitalized, rather than expensed. The furniture, fixtures, and equipment of a hotel are exposed to heavy use and must be replaced at regular intervals. The useful life of these items is determined by their quality, durability, and the amount of guest traffic and use. Periodic replacement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is essential to maintain the quality, image, and income-producing potential of a lodging facility. Because capitalized expenditures are not included in the operating statement but affect an owner's cash flow, a forecast of income and expense should reflect these expenses in the form of an appropriate reserve for replacement. The International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) undertook a major industry-sponsored study of the capital expenditure requirements for fullservice/luxury, select-service, and extended-stay hotels. The most recent findings March-2014 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 112 of the study were published in a report in 2007.6 Historical capital expenditures of well-maintained hotels were investigated through the compilation of data provided by most of the major hotel companies in the United States. A prospective analysis of future capital expenditure requirements was also performed based upon the cost to replace short- and long-lived building components over a hotel's economic life. The study showed that the capital expenditure requirements for hotels vary significantly from year to year and depend upon both the actual and effective ages of a property. The results of this study showed that hotel lenders and investors are requiring reserves for replacement ranging from 4% to 5% of total revenue. Based on the results of this study, our review of the subject asset and comparable lodging facilities, and our industry expertise, we estimate that a reserve for replacement of 4% of total revenues is sufficient to provide for the timely and periodic replacement of the subject property's furniture, fixtures, and equipment. This amount is ramped up during the initial projection period. Conclusion In conclusion, our analysis reflects a profitable operation, with net income expected to total 28.9% of total revenue by the stabilized year. The stabilized total revenue comprises primarily rooms and food and beverage revenue, with a secondary portion derived from other income sources. On the cost side, departmental expenses total 27.0% of revenue by the stabilized year, while undistributed operating expenses total 28.2% of total revenues; this assumes that the property will be operated competently by a well-known hotel operator. After a 3.0% of total revenues management fee, and 12.9% of total revenues in fixed expenses, a net income ratio of 28.9% is forecast by the stabilized year.

Project Conclusions Ownership, Franchise, and Management Assumptions and Recommendations There are four potential site locations for the subject property's development; however, the City had not chosen a specific parcel at the time of our research. Details pertaining to management terms were not yet determined at the time of this report; therefore, our forecast fees represent a blended average of what would be expected on a base-fee and incentive-fee basis. We have assumed a marketappropriate total management fee of 3.0% of total revenues in our study. We recommend that the proposed subject property operate as an upscale, selectservice hotel. For the purpose of this report, we have assumed that the property would be branded with a nationally recognized hotel brand, such as an Aloft, a select-service brand affiliated with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, or another comparable select-service brand. However, a specific franchise affiliation and/or brand had yet to be finalized at the time of this study. Based on our review of the expected terms, the Aloft franchise is reflected in our forecasts with a royalty fee of 5.5% of rooms revenue, and a marketing assessment of 4% of rooms revenue. Reservations fees will also be due, and are included in the rooms expense line item of our forecast. Market Area Analysis Conclusion The Eden Prairie market is relatively healthy, despite the effects of the recent economic recession. Real estate was adversely affected by the downturn, but a recovery is evidently underway. A preponderance of corporate headquarters has served the Minneapolis MSA well, insulating the metro area from the adverse effects of one industry's decline. The continued improvement of the unemployment rate and ongoing expansions in the area should continue to fuel gains in housing and consumer-driven industries. Furthermore, a highly educated workforce should continue to attract and retain business investment in the future. In relation to national conditions, the Minneapolis MSA and the city of Eden Prairie rank well, featuring a comparatively lower unemployment rate and greater stability among its key employment sectors. Our analysis of the outlook for this specific market also considers the broader context of the national economy. The U.S. economy entered a recession in December of 2007, which worsened in the fall of 2008 when the financial crisis shocked the world economy. The U.S. fell into economic decline for most of 2009, but the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and corporate profits began to grow again in the third quarter of 2009. In 2010, the economy experienced four consecutive quarters of economic growth, reflecting a rebound from the recession. March-2014 Project Conclusions Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota 114 Following a slight contraction in the first quarter of 2011, the economy has grown at positive, albeit fluctuating rates, as evidenced in the following table. Supply Conclusion We have identified various properties that are expected to be competitive to some degree with the proposed subject hotel. We have also investigated potential increases in competitive supply in this Eden Prairie submarket. The Proposed Hotel should enter a dynamic market of varying product types and price points. Next, we will present our forecast for demand change, using the historical supply data presented as a starting point. Accommodated Demand and Marketwide Occupancy Conclusion Based upon a review of the market dynamics in the subject property’s competitive environment, we have forecast growth rates for each market segment. Using the calculated potential demand for the market, we have determined market-wide accommodated demand based on the inherent limitations of demand fluctuations and other factors in the market area. The following table details our projection of lodging demand growth for the subject market, including the total number of occupied room nights and any residual unaccommodated demand in the market.

Select-service hotels are less expensive to build and typically generate higher net-operating-income (NOI) ratios than full-service hotels. Therefore, given the limited difference in RevPAR levels, it is our recommendation that a select-service hotel be considered for development in Eden Prairie. Overall, the proposed subject property should offer a well-designed, functional layout of support areas and guestrooms. All typical and market-appropriate features and amenities are expected to be included in the hotel's design. We assume that the building will be fully open and operational on the stipulated opening date and will meet all local building codes and applicable brand standards. Furthermore, we assume that the hotel staff will be adequately trained to allow for a successful opening and that pre-marketing efforts will have introduced the product to major local accounts at least six months in advance of the opening date. Competitive Position FIGURE 8-2 Although the average rate analysis presented here follows the occupancy projection, these two statistics are highly correlated; in reality, one cannot project occupancy without making specific assumptions regarding average rate. This relationship is best illustrated by revenue per available room (RevPAR), which reflects a property's ability to maximize rooms revenue. The following table summarizes the historical average rate and the RevPAR of the subject property’s future primary competitors.

The proposed subject hotel’s penetration rate is forecast to reach 98.4% by the stabilized period. The following occupancies and average rates will be used to project the subject property's rooms revenue. This forecast reflects years beginning on June 1, 2015 and corresponds with our financial projections.

The stabilized total revenue comprises primarily rooms and food and beverage revenue, with a secondary portion derived from other income sources. On the cost side, departmental expenses total 27.0% of revenue by the stabilized year, while undistributed operating expenses total 28.2% of total revenues; this assumes that the property will be operated competently by a well-known hotel operator. After a 3.0% of total revenues management fee, and 12.9% of total revenues in fixed expenses, a net income ratio of 28.9% is forecast by the stabilized year.

A market has three existing hotels with the following operating statistics: BASE-YEAR OCCUPANCY AND PENETRATION LEVELS Property Number of Rooms Hotel A Hotel B Hotel C 100 125 200 23.5 % 29.4 47.1 60 % 70 30 20 % 10 60 20 % 20 10 75.0 % 65.0 80.0 100.8 % 87.4 107.5 Totals/Average 425 100.0 % 47 % 38 % 15 % 74.4 % 100.0 % Fair Share Commercial Meeting and Group Leisure Occupancy Penetration Based upon each hotel’s room count, market segmentation, and annual occupancy, the annual number of room nights accommodated in the market from each market segment can be quantified, as set forth below. MARKET-WIDE ROOM NIGHT DEMAND Market Segment Commerci a l Meeti ng a nd Group Lei s ure Total Annual Room Night Demand Percentage of Total 54,704 43,481 17,246 47.4 % 37.7 14.9 115,431 100.0 % The following discussion will be based upon an analysis of the commercial market segment. The same methodology is applied for each market segment to derive an estimate of a hotel’s overall occupancy. The table below sets forth the commercial demand accommodated by each hotel. Each hotel’s commercial penetration factor is computed by: March-2014 Penetration Explanation Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota i 1) calculating the hotel’s market share % of commercial demand (commercial room nights accommodated by subject hotel divided by total commercial room nights accommodated by all hotels) and 2) dividing the hotel’s commercial market share % by the hotel’s fair share %. The following table sets forth each hotel’s fair share, commercial market share, and commercial penetration factor. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT PENETRATION FACTORS Property Number of Rooms Hotel A Hotel B Hotel C 100 125 200 23.5 % 29.4 47.1 16,425 20,759 17,520 30.0 % 37.9 32.0 127.6 % 129.0 68.1 Totals/Average 425 100.0 % 54,704 100.0 % 100.0 % Fair Share Commercial Capture Commercial Market Share Commercial Penetration If a new 100-room hotel enters the market, the fair share of each hotel changes because of the new denominator, which has increased by the 100 rooms that have been added to the market. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT FAIR SHARE Property Number of Rooms Fair Share Hotel A Hotel B Hotel C New Hotel 100 125 200 100 19.0 % 23.8 38.1 19.0 Total 525 100.0 % The new hotel’s penetration factor is projected for its first year of operation. It is estimated that the hotel will capture (penetrate) only 85% of its fair share as it establishes itself in the market. The new hotel’s market share and room night capture can be calculated based upon the hotel’s estimated penetration factor. When the market share of the existing hotels and that of the new hotel are added up, they no longer equal 100% because of the new hotel’s entry into the market. The market share of each hotel must be adjusted to reflect the change in the denominator that comprises the sum of each hotel’s market share. March-2014 Penetration Explanation Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota ii This adjustment can be mathematically calculated by dividing each hotel’s market share percentages by the new denominator of 97.1%. The resulting calculations reflect each hotel’s new adjusted market share. The sum of the adjusted market shares equals 100%, indicating that the adjustment has been successfully completed. Once the market shares have been calculated, the penetration factors can be recalculated (adjusted market share divided by fair share) to derive the adjusted penetration factors based upon the new hotel’s entry into the market. Note that each existing hotel’s penetration factor actually increases because the new hotel is capturing (penetrating) less than its fair share of demand. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT PROJECTIONS (YEAR 1) Property Number of Rooms Fair Share Hotel A Hotel B Hotel C New Hotel 100 125 200 100 19.0 % 23.8 38.1 19.0 Totals/Average 525 100.0 % Hist./Proj.

A penetration rate of 130% has been chosen, as the new hotel is expected to perform at a level commensurate with Hotel A and Hotel B in this market segment. The same calculations are performed to adjust market share and penetration factors. Note that now the penetration factors of the existing hotels decline below their original penetration rates because of the new hotel’s above-market penetration. Also, note that after the market share adjustment, the new hotel retains a penetration rate commensurate with Hotel A and Hotel B, though the penetration rates of all three hotels have declined by approximately nine percentage points because of the reapportionment of demand. Once the market shares of each hotel have been adjusted to reflect the entry of the new hotel into the market, the commercial room nights captured by each hotel may be projected by multiplying the hotel’s market share percentage by the total commercial room-night demand. This calculation is shown below.

A value set on real estate and personal property by a government as a basis for levying taxes. 2.) The monetary amount for a property as officially entered on the assessment roll for purposes of computing the tax levy. Assessed values differ from the assessor’s estimate of actual (market) value for three major reasons: fractional assessment ratios, partial exemptions, and decisions by assessing officials to override market value. The process of gathering and interpreting economic data to provide information that can be used by policymakers to formulate tax policy. Average Daily Rate (ADR): A statistical unit that represents the total guest room revenue divided by the total number of occupied rooms. Base Year: This is the historical year from which future projections are based. This could be a calendar year or a fiscal year. Capital Expenditure: Investments of cash or the creation of liability to acquire or improve an asset (e.g. land, buildings, building additions, site improvements, machinery, equipment), as distinguished from cash outflows for expense items that are normally considered part of the current period’s operations. Capital Deduction: A deduction made from the value opinion in order to account for future capital expenditures. These expenditures, and hence the deduction, are assumed to be required in order to achieve the forecast results. The deduction is also considered in the positioning of the capitalization rate and other investment parameters. Chain Scales: According to Smith Travel Research, hotel brands are categorized under the following chain scale segments: Luxury, Upper-Upscale, Upscale, MidScale with Food and Beverage, Mid-Scale without Food and Beverage, and Economy. Chain scales are based primarily on the average rate achieved across a particular hotel brand. Chronological Age: The number of years elapsed since an original structure was built; also known as “actual age” or “historical age.” Departmental Expenses: The costs associated with the following departments: Rooms – Includes labor costs such as salaries, wages, and benefits for front desk, housekeeping, reservations, bell staff, and laundry employees. Other operating expenses in the rooms department include costs associated with the procurement March-2014 Glossary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota v and maintenance of linens, cleaning supplies, guest supplies, and employee uniforms; payment of central or franchise reservation fees, equipment leases, and travel agent commissions; and cost of providing a continental breakfast. Food and Beverage – A combination of food and beverage departmental expenses, which include the cost of goods, labor and related benefits, and other operating expenses. Labor costs include the employment of departmental management; cooks and kitchen personnel; and service, banquet, and bartending staff. Other food and beverage operating expenses include the procurement and maintenance of china, silverware, linens, restaurant and kitchen supplies, menus and printing, and special promotions. Telecommunications – Consists of all costs associated with the operation of a hotel's telephone department, including the cost of calls, the labor cost of the hotel's telephone operators, and other related expenses. It is important to note that the telecommunications expense excludes capital lease payments. Other Expenses - Comprises those expenses that offset the revenue generated by other hotel-operated (as opposed to leased) departments such as garage and parking, athletic facilities, gift shop, and equipment rental facilities. Economic Life: The period over which improvements to real property contribute to property value. Effective Age: Age attributed to a property on the basis of the amount of observed deterioration and obsolescence it has sustained; a property’s effective age may be different from its chronological age. Excess Land: With regard to an improved site, the land not needed to serve or support the existing improvement. With regard to a vacant site or a site considered as though vacant, the land not needed to accommodate the site’s highest and best use. Such land may be separated from the larger site to have its own highest and best use, or it may allow for future expansion of the existing or anticipated improvement. See also: “surplus land.” Exposure Time: 1.) The period during which a property remains on the market. 2.) The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal; a retrospective estimate based on an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market. Exposure time is always presumed to occur prior to the effective date of the appraisal. See also: “marketing period.” Extraordinary Assumption: 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 March-2014 Glossary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota vi or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis. An extraordinary assumption may be used in an assignment only if: 1.) It is required to properly develop credible opinions and conclusions; 2.) The appraiser has a reasonable basis for the extraordinary assumption; 3.) Use of the extraordinary assumption results in a credible analysis; and 4.) The appraiser complies with the disclosure requirements set forth in USPAP for extraordinary assumptions. Fair Share: That portion of total supply accounted for by the same property. Fixed Charges/Expenses: Operating expenses that generally do not vary with occupancy and that prudent management will pay whether the property is occupied or vacant. Fixed charges include the following: Property Taxes – Typically include taxes on real estate, business and occupation, personal property, utilities, and other municipal taxes. Insurance – Cost of insuring the hotel building and its contents against fire and weather damage, as well as damage associated with equipment malfunction, such as sprinkler leakage. This expense includes all insurance except that for workers’ compensation. Full-Service Operation: A hotel operation that provides a more complete set of services than those offered at an extended-stay, select-service, or limited-service property. The services of a full-service operation may include room service, valet, concierge, transportation and tour services, entertainment facilities, barber shop, bellhop service, laundry service, free continental breakfast, restaurant and lounge, turn-down service, morning newspapers, fitness centers, and more extensive banquet and meeting space. Hypothetical Condition: Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property, such as market conditions or trends, or about the integrity of data used in an analysis. A hypothetical condition may be used in an assignment only if: 1.) Use of the hypothetical condition is required for legal purposes, purposes of meaning, or purposes of comparison; 2.) Use of the hypothetical condition results in a credible analysis; and 3.) The appraiser complies with the disclosure requirements set for in USPAP for hypothetical conditions. Indirect Construction Costs: Expenditures or allowances for items other than labor and materials that are necessary for construction, but are not typically part of the construction contract. Indirect costs may include administrative costs; professional fees; financing costs and the interest paid on construction loans; taxes and the builder’s or developer’s all-risk insurance during construction; and marketing, sales, and lease-up costs incurred to achieve occupancy or sale. Also called “soft costs.” March-2014 Glossary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota vii Limited-Service Operation: A hotel operation without a food and beverage department, which provides basic amenities at a reasonable price to guests. Market Share: That portion of a market’s total demand accommodated by a given property. Marketing Period: The time it takes an interest in real property to sell on the market subsequent to the effective date of an appraisal. This includes the anticipated time required to expose the property to a pool of prospective purchasers and to allow appropriate time for negotiation, the exercise of due diligence, and the consummation of a sale at a price supportable by concurrent market conditions. Marketing time differs from exposure time, which is always assumed to precede the effective date of an appraisal. See also: “exposure time.” Net Operating Income (NOI) (EBITDA): The actual or anticipated net income that remains after all operating expenses are deducted from effective gross income, but before mortgage debt service and book depreciation are deducted; may be calculated before or after deducting replacement reserves. EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) is a term sometimes substituted for net operating income, especially as a measure of the performance of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Penetration Factor (By Segment): A rating factor that shows how well each property in the market area competes for a particular market segment, calculated by dividing a given hotel’s market share by its fair share. Per Available Room (PAR): A basis of comparison that is calculated by dividing a revenue or expense category’s total dollar amount by the hotel’s room count. This point of comparison is most useful when reviewing operating and fixed expense categories. Per Occupied Room (POR): A basis of comparison that is calculated by dividing a revenue or expense category’s total dollar amount by the number of occupied rooms in a given year. This point of comparison is most useful when reviewing revenue and departmental expense categories. Property Improvement Plan (PIP): A brand-mandated plan of required renovations that enable a hotel to meet competitive standards and also contribute to the owner’s ability to attain a new or renewed franchise agreement. RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room): A unit of comparison applied in the appraisal of lodging facilities, RevPAR is calculated by multiplying a property’s percentage of occupancy by its average room rate. RevPAR is used throughout the lodging industry to compare the revenue of competing facilities. March-2014 Glossary Proposed Hotel – Eden Prairie, Minnesota viii Select-Service Operation: A hotel operation designed to answer the market demand for a level of service and amenities beyond the limited-service segment, but less than the full-service hotel segment; select-service properties offer a limited degree of food and beverage options and typically fall within middle to upper-middle tiers within their respective markets. Site Improvements: Improvements to a site that make it suitable for its intended use or development. Site improvements include, but are not limited to, sidewalks, parking lots, freestanding signage, and landscaping. Stability: A stage in a market area’s life cycle in which the market area experiences equilibrium without marked gains or losses. Stabilized Expense: A projected expense that is subject to change, but has been adjusted to reflect an equivalent, stable annual expense. Stabilized Income: Income at that point in time when abnormalities in supply and demand or any additional transitory conditions cease to exist, and the existing conditions are those expected to continue over the economic life of the property; projected income that is subject to change, but has been adjusted to reflect an equivalent, stable annual income. Stabilized Occupancy: Occupancy at that point in time when abnormalities in supply and demand or any additional transitory conditions cease to exist, and the existing conditions are those expected to continue over the economic life of the property; the optimum range of long-term occupancy that an income-producing real estate project is expected to achieve under competent management after exposure for leasing in the open market for a reasonable period of time at terms and conditions comparable to competitive offerings. Undistributed Operating Expenses: The costs associated with the following categories: Administrative and General (A&G) Expense – Includes all managerial and operational expenses that cannot be attributed to a particular department, including payroll and related expenses for the general manager, the human resources and training department, and security, clerical, and accounting operations.
