4. The revenue stamps placed on any deed referenced herein to indicate the sale price are in correct
relation to the actual dollar amount of the transaction.
5. The Subject Property is in compliance with all applicable building, environmental, zoning, and
other federal,state and local laws, regulations and codes.
6. The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable, but no warranty is given for its
accuracy.
The appraisal report and any work product related to the engagement will be subject to the following
limiting conditions,except as otherwise noted in the report:
1. An appraisal is inherently subjective and represents our opinion as to the value of the Subject
Property appraised.
2. The conclusions stated in our appraisal apply only as of the effective date of the appraisal,and no
representation is made as to the effect of subsequent events.
3. No changes in any federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes (including, without limitation,
the Internal Revenue Code)are anticipated.
4. No environmental impact studies were either requested or made in conjunction with this
appraisal, and we reserve the right to revise or rescind any of the value opinions based upon any
subsequent environmental impact studies. If any environmental impact statement is required by
law, the appraisal assumes that such statement will be favorable and will be approved by the
appropriate regulatory bodies.
5. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, we are not required to give testimony, respond to any
subpoena or attend any court, governmental or other hearing with reference to the Subject
Property without compensation relative to such additional employment.
6. We have made no survey of the Subject Property and assume no responsibility in connection with
such matters.Any sketch or survey of the Subject Property included in this report is for illustrative
purposes only and should not be considered to be scaled accurately for size. The appraisal covers

the Subject Property as described in this report, and the areas and dimensions set forth are
assumed to be correct.
7. No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil,gas or mineral rights, if any,and we have
assumed that the Subject Property is not subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of
such materials,unless otherwise noted in our appraisal.
8. We accept no responsibility for considerations requiring expertise in other fields. Such
considerations include, but are not limited to, legal descriptions and other legal matters such as
legal title, geologic considerations, such as soils and seismic stability, and civil, mechanical,
electrical, structural and other engineering and environmental matters. Such considerations may
also include determinations of compliance with zoning and other federal, state, and local laws,
regulations and codes.
9. The distribution of the total valuation in the report between land and improvements applies only
under the reported highest and best use of the Subject Property. The allocations of value for land
and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so
used. The appraisal report shall be considered only in its entirety. No part of the appraisal report
shall be utilized separately or out of context.
10. Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the
identity of the appraisers, or any reference to the Appraisal Institute) shall be disseminated
through advertising media, public relations media, news media or any other means of
communication(including without limitation prospectuses, private offering memoranda and other
offering material provided to prospective investors) without the prior written consent of the
persons signing the report.
11. Information, estimates and opinions contained in the report and obtained from third-party
sources are assumed to be reliable and have not been independently verified.
12. Any income and expense estimates contained in the appraisal report are used only for the
purpose of estimating value and do not constitute predictions of future operating results.
13. If the Subject Property is subject to one or more leases, any estimate of residual value contained
in the appraisal may be particularly affected by significant changes in the condition of the
economy, of the real estate industry,or of the Subject Property at the time these leases expire or
otherwise terminate.
14. Unless otherwise stated in the report, no consideration has been given to personal property
located on the Subject Property or to the cost of moving or relocating such personal property;
only the real property has been considered.
15. The current purchasing power of the dollar is the basis for the value stated in the appraisal; we
have assumed that no extreme fluctuations in economic cycles will occur.
16. The values found herein are subject to these and to any other assumptions or conditions set forth
in the body of this report but which may have been omitted from this list of Assumptions and
Limiting Conditions.
17. The analyses contained in the report necessarily incorporate numerous estimates and
assumptions regarding property performance, general and local business and economic

conditions, the absence of material changes in the competitive environment and other matters.
Some estimates or assumptions, however, inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated
events and circumstances may occur;therefore, actual results achieved during the period covered
by our analysis will vary from our estimates,and the variations may be material.
18. The Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)became effective January 26, 1992.We have not made a
specific survey or analysis of the Subject Property to determine whether the physical aspects of
the improvements meet the ADA accessibility guidelines. We claim no expertise in ADA issues,
and render no opinion regarding compliance of the Subject Property with ADA regulations.
Inasmuch as compliance matches each owner's financial ability with the cost to cure the non-
conforming physical characteristics of a property, a specific study of both the owner's financial
ability and the cost to cure any deficiencies would be needed for the Department of Justice to
determine compliance.
19. The appraisal report is prepared for the exclusive benefit of you, your subsidiaries and/or
affiliates. It may not be used or relied upon by any other party. All parties who use or rely upon
any information in the report without our written consent do so at their own risk.
20. No studies have been provided to us indicating the presence or absence of hazardous materials on
the Subject Property or in the improvements, and our valuation is predicated upon the
assumption that the Subject Property is free and clear of any environment hazards including,
without limitation, hazardous wastes, toxic substances and mold. No representations or
warranties are made regarding the environmental condition of the Subject Property. IRR—Seattle
and/or any of its officers, owners, managers, directors, agents, subcontractors or employees (the
"Integra Parties") shall not be responsible for any such environmental conditions that do exist or
for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist.
Because we are not experts in the field of environmental conditions, the appraisal report cannot
be considered as an environmental assessment of the Subject Property.
21. The persons signing the report may have reviewed available flood maps and may have noted in
the appraisal report whether the Subject Property is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard
Area. However, we are not qualified to detect such areas and therefore do not guarantee such
determinations. The presence of flood plain areas and/or wetlands may affect the value of the
Subject Property, and the value conclusion is predicated on the assumption that wetlands are
non-existent or minimal.
22. We are not a building or environmental inspector. The Integra Parties do not guarantee that the
Subject Property is free of defects or environmental problems. Mold may be present in the
Subject Property and a professional inspection is recommended.
23. The appraisal report and value conclusions for an appraisal assumes the satisfactory completion of
construction, repairs or alterations in a workmanlike manner.
24. IRR—Seattle is an independently owned and operated company. The parties hereto agree that
Integra Realty Resources, Inc. ("Integra") shall not be liable for any claim arising out of or
relating to any appraisal report or any information or opinions contained therein as such
appraisal report is the sole and exclusive responsibility of IRR — Seattle. In addition, it is
expressly agreed that in any action which may be brought against the Integra Parties arising out
of, relating to, or in any way pertaining to the engagement letter, the appraisal reports or any
Jefferson County Department of Public Works
December 11, 2025
Page 6
related work product,the Integra Parties shall not be responsible or liable for any incidental or
consequential damages or losses, unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with
intentional misconduct. It is further expressly agreed that the collective liability of the Integra
Parties in any such action shall not exceed the fees paid for the preparation of the assignment
(unless the appraisal was fraudulent or prepared with intentional misconduct). It is expressly
agreed that the fees charged herein are in reliance upon the foregoing limitations of liability.
25. IRR—Seattle is an independently owned and operated company,which has prepared the appraisal
for the specific intended use stated elsewhere in the report. The use of the appraisal report by
anyone other than the Client is prohibited except as otherwise provided. Accordingly, the
appraisal report is addressed to and shall be solely for the Client's use and benefit unless we
provide our prior written consent. We expressly reserve the unrestricted right to withhold our
consent to your disclosure of the appraisal report or any other work product related to the
engagement (or any part thereof including, without limitation, conclusions of value and our
identity), to any third parties. Stated again for clarification, unless our prior written consent is
obtained, no third party may rely on the appraisal report(even if their reliance was foreseeable).
26. The conclusions of this report are estimates based on known current trends and reasonably
foreseeable future occurrences. These estimates are based partly on property information, data
obtained in public records, interviews, existing trends, buyer-seller decision criteria in the current
market, and research conducted by third parties, and such data are not always completely
reliable.The Integra Parties are not responsible for these and other future occurrences that could
not have reasonably been foreseen on the effective date of this assignment. Furthermore, it is
inevitable that some assumptions will not materialize and that unanticipated events may occur
that will likely affect actual performance. While we are of the opinion that our findings are
reasonable based on current market conditions, we do not represent that these estimates will
actually be achieved, as they are subject to considerable risk and uncertainty. Moreover, we
assume competent and effective management and marketing for the duration of the projected
holding period of the Subject Property.
27. All prospective value opinions presented in this report are estimates and forecasts which are
prospective in nature and are subject to considerable risk and uncertainty. In addition to the
contingencies noted in the preceding paragraph,several events may occur that could substantially
alter the outcome of our estimates such as, but not limited to changes in the economy, interest
rates, capitalization rates, behavior of consumers, investors and lenders, fire and other physical
destruction, changes in title or conveyances of easements and deed restrictions,etc. It is assumed
that conditions reasonably foreseeable at the present time are consistent or similar with the
future.
As will be determined during the course of the assignment, additional extraordinary or hypothetical
conditions may be required in order to complete the assignment. The appraisal shall also be subject
to those assumptions.
