The acquisition ofan easement over that property was authOJized by resolution ofthe city council of the Town ofAddison, Texas, fl true and correct copyofwhich is attached as Exhibit"N' and incorporated byreferenced herein as if set forth at length. The area of the easement being acquired for the overhead bridge had, on the date of taking, approximately36park; ng spaces available for use bythe owner ofthe subject property. Theparking area was constructed upon existing easements, including a3O-foot Dallas water uti] ity easement and a 50-foot drainage easement. In connectionwith thetakingofthis easement for the constIUctionofthe bridge, the Town ofAddison has agreed to reconstruct the parking spaces to provide the same number ofspaces that existed on the date oftaking. Theproperty ownerwill continue to own the propertyin fee simple, save and except the easements which encumber that portion of the property. In early2002, theTownofAddison began negoliatingwith Mr. Gary Crouch of 176 Trust, for the acquisitionofthe area reqUired for the project. In connection with those negotiations, the Town of Addison obtained an appraisal by Evaluation Associates, Inc. At the time the first appraisal was perfonned, the appraiserwas under the mistaken belieflhat the 36 parking spaces would be lost due to the takingand this loss would impactth0highest and best use ofthepropertybecauseit wouldno longer COTIlplywith thezoningrequirernents oftheTown ofAddisonfor its CUl1'ent use. EvaluationAssociates appraised the property taken and the damage to the property at $225,000.00. The above value was comprised of$62,381.00 for the property to be taken and $161,619.00 attributed to damages to the remainderdueto the abovemisconception.

In t11e Apli124, 2002 letter, Mr. Crouch was notified that the SL1bj ect property would remain in compliance with the zoning requirements ofthe Town ofAddison under the plans for the construction ofthe blidge and reconstruction ofthe parking spaces and that he would be able to continueto use the property at its highest and best use. At that time, an ofterwas made to Mr. Crouch of$62,3 81.00 reflecting the value ofthe part actually taken by the Town of Addison.

However, as set f0l1h in Mr. Murphy's Affidavit, those negotiations were unsuccessful. Therdore, after such nego tiationshad failed and proved futi! e, the City Council oftlle Town ofAddison passed its Resolution authorizing the acquisition ofthe easement through eminent domain. Adetailed deScl;ption ofAddison's efforts to acquire the property tlu'ough negotiations are detail ed in Mr. Murphy's Affidavil. At the outset ofthis process, Addison obtained an appraisal from Evaluation Associates, Inc. to detennine the market value of the property sought to be acquired. 2. On January 23,2002, Eva) uationAssociates conducted an appraisal on the subject property located at 4139 CentUIion Way. Addison, Texas. Tl'l.is appraisal stated that atrue value ofthepropel1Y to be taken wouJd be $215,000. Tlu& amount can be broken down into two parts: $62,3 B1.00 for the actual taking and $162,619.00 for the Joss of value ofthe remainder ofthe property. However, this appraisal was completed under the 􀁡􀁳􀁾􀁵􀁭􀁰􀁴􀁩􀁯􀁮 that the existi ng office/warehouse buildingcou1dnot be rebuilt in iu; current location due to the laking ofthe easement. After review ofthe existing city ordinances, it was determined that Addison's ordinances would pennit the reconstruction ofthe exi sting bUildingar its CU11'ent location in the event ofde:,t:ruction. Therefore, the assumption ofthe initial appraisal was en-oneous. Consequently, Evaluation Associates conducted a second appraisal of the property on February 13,2002. The second appraisal detennined the rotal compensation for the taking would be $62,381.00, as there was no damage to the remainder. 3, Addison made three 􀁯􀁦􀁦􀁾􀁲􀁳 to the Trust, all of which ha.ve been rejected. (See Murphy Affidavit). In response to Addison'l; offer, '276 Trust countered with $440,000.00 for the easement.

Although Addison believedlhatthcHipes' appraisal had been provided to the landowTlerprior to the hearing, it apparently was not. At the hearing, Addison put on evidence ofthe Hipes' appraisal. Such appraisal cwcul ated the valueoftheproperty at $52,601. Making an offer based on thot upprulsal would certainlyhave been futile in light ofthe rejection ofthe final offer of $112,381 .00. Section 21.0 III onlyrequircs the disclosure ofappraisal repolis used in detenl'lining the final valuation offer.

TEXAS AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL MURPHY SlATE OF TEXAS §§ COUNTY OF COLLIN § BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority on this day, appeared MICHAEL MURPHY, who is personally known to me, and first being duly sworn according to law, deposed and said; My name is MICHAEL MURPHY. I am. over twenty-one (21) years ofage, and I am fully competent to make this Affidavit. I have personal knowledge of each ofthe facts stated herein and each fact is within my personal knowledge and is true and correct. I am the Public Works Director for the Town of Addison, Texas, Plaintiff in the above cause of action. In connection with my duties and responsibilities, I am responsible for the oversight ofthe Public Works Project known as the Arapaho Road Extension. The purpose of that Project is to ooend Arapaho Road west ofMidway Road in Addison. Texas to alleviate the traffic congestion experienced on Belt Line Road in A.ddison. In connection with that Project, the City determined that it was necessary to construct a portion of Arapaho Road across the rear OCT.-IO'03lFRI) 14:03 TEL:972 422 9322 P. 015 ofthe property located at 4139 Centurion Way, Addison, Texas (the subject property ofthis action). The extension of Arapaho Road over the subject property involves the construction of an overhead bridge which will cross the property. The acquishion of an easement over that property was authorized by resolution ofthe city council of the Town of Addison, Texas, a true and correct copy ofwhicb is attached as E,mibit "A" and incorporated by referenced herein as if set forth at length. The area. oftbe easement being acquired for the overhead bridge had, on the date of taking, approximately 36 parking spaces available for use by the owner of the subject property. The parking area was constructed upon existing easements, including a 30-foot Dallas water utility easement and a 50..foot drainage easement. In connection with the taking ofthis easement for the construction ofthe bridge, the Town ofAddison has agreed to reconstruct the parking spaces to provide the same number of spaces that existed on the date of taking. The property owner will continue to own the property in fee simple, save and except the easements which encumber that portion ofthe property. In early 2002, the Town of Addison began negotiating with Mr. Gary Crouch of 276 Tmst, for the acquisition ofthe area :required for the project. In connection with those negotiations, the Town of Addison obtained an appraisal by Evaluation Associates, Inc. At the time the first appraisal was perfoIlDed, the appraiser was under the mistaken belief that the 36 parking spaces would be lost due to the taking and this loss would impact the highest and best use ofthe property because it would no longer comply with the zoning requirements of the Town of Addison for its current use. Evaluation Associates appraised the property taken and the damage to the property at $225,000.00. The above value was comprised of $62,381.00 for the property to be taken and $162,619.00 attributed to damages to the remainder due to the above OCT. -10' 03(FRI) 14:03 TEL:972 422 9322 P. 016 use. At that time, an offer was made to Mr. Crouch of$62,381.00 reflecting the value ofthe part actuaJly taken by the Town of Addison. That offer was likewise rejected. On May 5, 2002, a counteroffer made by Mr. Crouch, through his attorney, of $400,000.00 for the acquisition oftbe easement. Atrue and correct copy ofthe letter transmitting that offer is attached hereto to as Exhibit "0" and incorporated by reference herein. In an effort to resolve this miltter and avoid the necessity for condemnation, the Town of Addison made a final offer of$112,:181.00, which consisted ofthe $62,381.00 for the pan taken and an additional $50,000,00 being offered in an effort to settle the valuation issues. Atrue and correct copy ofthat offer is attached hereto as Exhibit "H' and incorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length. That offer was not accepted by Mr. Crouch. On September 17, 2002, the Town once again offered $112,381.00 for the easement, as shown in Exhibit 'T' attached hereto. Once again, the offer was rejected. At no time has Mr. Crouch offered to sell the easement to the Town of Addison for any less than $400,000.00. It became apparent that continued negotiations would be futile and that it would be necessary for the Town of Addison to proceed with condemnation. After negotiations had broken down and it was determined that the Town ofAddison would be required to proceed with conderrmation, the Town ofAddison obtained an additional appraisal by Hipes & Associates on or about September 26,2002. Mr. Hipes' opinion ofvalue of the easement to be acquired was $52,601.00 which was substantially less than the final offer made by the Town of Addison. The To-wn of Addison did not have the Hipes' appraisal at the time that the final offer was made to OCT, -10' 03 (PRI) 14: 03 􀁔􀁅􀁾􀀺 972 422 9322 p, 017 Mr. Crouch. Although I believe that a copy ofthat appraisal had been provided to Mr. Crouch, I have been unable to locate any document reflecting delivery by certified mail or hlUld delivery. OCT. -10' 03(FRI) 14:03 TEL:972 422 9322 P. 018 Prior to filing condemnation, the Town ofAddison used its best efforts to negotiate a settlement of this matter by making the offers referenced above. The Town of Addison does not believe that Mr. Crouch's final offer of$440,000.00 represents the value ofthe part being acquired nor for the alleged damages which Mr. Crouch believes that he has sustained. Therefore, although the Town of Addison is not willing to pay $400,000.00, I believe that we have negotiated in good faith based upon the appraised values ofthe property. Further Affiant sayeth not.

Dippel Angela K, WlUhinston EXHIBIT I 1 No. CC-03-01967-B TOWN OF ADDISON, TEXAS § IN THE COUNTY COURT §§§ vs. § AT LAW, NUMBER 2 § ABSOLUTE SYSTEMS, LTD., 276 TRUST § AND MERRILL LYNCH BUSINESS § FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. § DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL MURPHY STATE OF TEXAS §§ COUNTY OF COLLIN § BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority on this day, appeared :MICHAEL MURPHY, who is personally known to me, and first being duly sworn according to law, deposed and said; My name is :MICHAEL MURPHY. I am over twenty-one (21) years ofage, and I am fully competent to make this Affidavit. I have personal knowledge ofeach ofthe facts stated herein and each fact is within my personal knowledge and is true and correct. I am the Public Works Director for the Town ofAddison, Texas, Plaintiff in the above cause of action. In connection with my duties and responsibilities, I am responsible for the oversight ofthe Public Works Project known as the Arapaho Road Extension. The purpose of that Project is to extend Arapaho Road west ofMidway Road in Addison, Addison, Texas to alleviate the traffic congestion experienced on Belt Line Road in Addison. In connection with that Project, the City determined that it was necessary to construct a portion ofArapaho Road across the rear ofthe property located at 4139 Centurion Way, Addison, Texas (the subject property ofthis action). The extension ofArapaho Road over the subject property involves the construction ofan overhead bridge which will cross the property. The acquisition of an easement over that property was authorized by resolution ofthe city council ofthe Town of Addison, Texas, a true and correct copy ofwhich is attached as Exhibit"A" and incorporated by referenced herein as if set forth at length. The area ofthe easement being acquired for the overhead bridge had, on the date of taking, approximately 36 parking spaces available for use by the owner ofthe subject property. The parking area was constructed upon existing easements, including a 30-foot Dallas water utility easement and a 50-foot drainage easement. In connection with the taking ofthis easement for the construction ofthe bridge; the Town of Addison has agreed to reconstruct the parking spaces to provide the same number of spaces that existed on the date oftaking. The property owner will continue to own the property in fee simple, save and except the easements which encumber that portion ofthe property. In early 2002, the Town of Addison began negotiating with Mr. Gary Crouch of 276 Trust, for the acquisition ofthe area required for the project. In connection with those negotiations; the Town of Addison obtained an appraisal by Evaluation Associates, Inc. At the time the first appraisal was performed, the appraiser was under the mistaken belief that the 36 parking spaces would be lost due to the taking and this loss would impact the highest and best use ofthe property because it would no longer comply with the zoning requirements ofthe Town ofAddison for its current use. Evaluation Associates appraised the property taken and the damage to the property at $225,000.00. The above value was comprised of $62,381.00 for the property to be taken and $162;619.00 attributed to damages to the remainder due to the above misconception. Based upon that appraisal the Town ofAddison offered the owner (276 Trust) $225,000.00. A true and correct copy ofthe correspondence transmitting that offer is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length. After receiving the initial offer, Mr. Crouch corresponded with the City requesting clarification ofvarious issues related to the 36 parking spaces, as evidenced by Exhibit "C" attached hereto. The Town's initial offer was rejected as evidenced by that correspondence from Mr. Gary Crouch's attorney which is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length. On April 10, 2002, Mr. Crouch requested to address the City Council regarding these issues, which he did. A true and correct copy ofthat letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "E". Subsequent to the offer being rejected and after lengthy discussions regarding the parking, the Town ofAddison determined that the taking ofthe property; and the reconstltlction ofthe parking spaces, would not result in the subject property being in non-compliance with the zoning requirements ofthe Town ofAddison. In addition the Town agreed to re-construct the 36 parking spaces as evidenced in that letter of April 24, 2002, which is attached hereto as Exhibit "F". Accordingly, the appraiser was instructed that his misconception concerning the impact of the bridge upon the zoning compliance issues was erroneous. He revised his appraisal to reflect the value ofthe property taken of $62,381.00. In the April 24, 2002 letter, Mr. Crouch was notified that the subject property would remain in compliance with the zoning requirements of the Town ofAddison under the plans for the construction ofthe bridge and reconstruction ofthe parking spaces and that he would be able to continue to use the property at its highest and best use. At that time, an offer was made to Mr. Crouch of$62,381.00 reflecting the value ofthe part actually taken by the Town of Addison. That offer was likewise rejected. On May 5, 2002, a counteroffer made by Mr. Crouch, through his attorney, of $400,000.00 for the acquisition ofthe easement. A true and correct copy ofthe letter transmitting that offer is attached hereto to as Exhibit "G" and incorporated by reference herein. In an effort to resolve this matter and avoid the necessity for condemnation, the Town of Addison made a final offer of $112,381.00, which consisted ofthe $62,381.-00 for the part taken and an additional $50,000.00 being offered in an effort to settle the valuation issues. A true and correct copy ofthat offer is attached hereto as Exhibit "H' and incorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length. That offer was not accepted by Mr. Crouch. On September 17, 2002, the Town once again oftered $112,381.00 for the easement, as shown in Exhibit "I" attached hereto. Once again, the offer was rejected. At no time has Mr. Crouch offered to sell the easement to the Town ofAddison for any less than $400,000.00. It became apparent that continued negotiations would be futile and that it would be necessary for the Town of Addison to proceed with condemnation. After negotiations had broken down and it was detennined that the Town of Addison would be required to proceed with condemnation, the Town ofAddison obtained an additional appraisal by Hipes & Associates on or about September 26,2002. Mr. Hipes' opinion ofvalue ofthe easement to be acquired was $52,601.00 which was substantially less than the final offer made by the Town ofAddison. The Town ofAddison did not have the Hipes' appraisal at the time that the final offer was made to Mr. Crouch. Although I believe that a copy ofthat appraisal had been provided to Mr. Crouch, I have been unable to locate any document reflecting delivery by certified mail or hand delivery. Prior to filing condemnation, the Town ofAddison used its best efforts to negotiate a settlement ofthis matter by making the offers referenced above. The Town ofAddison does not believe that Mr. Crouch's final offer of$440,000.00 represents the value ofthe part being acquired nor for the alleged damages which Mr. Crouch believes that he has sustained. Therefore, although the Town ofAddison is not willing to pay $400,000.00, I believe that we have negotiated in good faith based upon the appraised values ofthe property. Further Affiant sayeth not.

Crouch Dear Mr. Crouch, Per our conversations during a meeting with you and Mr. Knight regarding the Right of Way acquisition of a portion of the property at 4139 Centurion Way (April 17,2001). We discussed what the Town of Addison's position is as it relates to parking and building set back requirements. The Town of Addison will agree to rebuild 36 parking spaces underneath the bridge structure so that there will be no net loss of parking as a result of the construction. The Town of Addison will agree to allow a non-conforming use of the property and allow build back to the original building line in case of unforeseen destruction of over 50% ofthe structure. These conditions are contingent upon your agreement to accept or enter into meaningful negotiations of the appraised value of the property in question. Therefore, The Towns current offer is to pay $225,000 for property and damages, reconstruct a 36 space parking area and allow a non-non-conforming use that will enable property owner to rebuild structure to its current set back location.

Therefore, the value ofthe Remainder Before the Acquisition can be calculated as follows: Whole Property Value (Land only) Less: Value ofProposed Acquisition Area Value ofthe Remainder Before the Acquisition $1,900,000 $ 62,381 $1,837,619 l! Value of the Remainder After the Acquisition As noted, the proposed acquisition area will be used for the widening and realignment ofArapaho Road. After the acquisitions, the remaining site will continue to be an interior tract having similar accessibility and increased visibility. The remaining site will have similar highest and best use as before the acquisition. In developing the analysis of the Remainder Highest and Best Use and estimating the value after the acquisition, several questions were formulated and answered through the combined sources of: analysis ofthe Right ofWay Acquisition Map, the engineering design and construction plans, the Town of Addison Department of Engineering, and consultation with locally knowledgeable consultants. The answers to specific questions, combined with the analysis ofthe undersigned land rights appraiser, were subsequently applied to market reaction observations and data introduced by the appraiser to finalize remainder impact conclusions. Following are some of the considerations in the valuation ofthe remainder after the proposed acquisition(Remainder After). 1) Will the remainder property comply with zoning regulations? No, it appears the remainder site will be a legal non-conforming use under current zoning. Accordingto Ms. Carmen Moran, City Secretary andDirector ofPlanning and Zoning, ifthe subject remainder improvements were destroyed by more than 50%, the building could not be re-built in the samefoot print. The new Arapaho Roadrow line 66 r( Analysis and Valuation ofProposed Acquisition Area (Continued) will be'"feetfrom the rearofthe building. In order to comply with the required25feet setback, 21 feet ofthe building would have to be removed. This necessitates a reevaluation ofthe subject remainder property which begins on thefollowing page. 2) Will the remainder property have access to new Arapaho Road? No, at this time it appears Arapaho Road will be a limited access route and no access will be granted to individual properties along the route, nor, would access benefit the subject property. Additionally, the new road is severalfeet above the grade ofthe remainder and it is not practical to have access to the roadway from the subject remainder. 3) What is the grade ofthe new Arapaho Road adjacent to the subject property? Basedon availableplan andprofile design plans, the newroad will be approximately seven (7) feet above grade at the western boundary of the subject remainder tract, rising at a grade of2.88% and isplanned to befifteen (15) feet above the eastern property boundary. 4) Are there any direct benefits as a result ofthis project? Even though there will be no direct access, the subject remainderproperty may experience some degree of increased visibility as a result of adjacency to the new Arapaho Road. However, this is not a measurable benefit. Secondly, although not a benefitfrom the new road, the property owner should request a reduction in the assessed value due to the reduced land and building size. Thirdly, it appears the property owner is relived ofany maintenance and liability ofthe existing easement area. Fourthly and more importantly, the new elevated roadway being constructed as a bridge behind the subject property building, will effectively provide the opportunityfor covered parking. As ofthe date ofthis appraisal, a specific site/parkingplan has not been provided to the appraisers for consideration in this valuation process. However, it is assumed that a minimum ofthe same number (approximately 22) spaces will be substituted, as a part of the new road construction. Assuming that an equal or greater number ofparking spaces will be provided for the benefit of the subject property under new Arapaho Road, it is assumed there is no loss ofparking as a result ofthe proposed acquisition. 67 ADR Partners 4444 Westgrove, suite 210 Addison, TX 75001 ATTN: Gary B.

Included in these projects is the extension of Arapaho road, from Addison Road to Marsh Lane. At this time we are in the right-of-way acquisition phase of the project. The Town of Addison has determined the public need to acquire a 0.6709 acre portion of the 2.521 acre tract of land that is owned by you at 4139 Centurion Way. The public purpose for this land acquisition is the necessary right-of-way for the Arapaho Road project along with related municipal uses including a public hike and bike trail. The firm of Evaluation Associates appraised the property on January 23, 2002. The attached summary sheet shows a summary of facts and conclusions regarding this taking. On February 26, 2002, the City Council of the Town of Addison authorized me to make an offer to purchase the 0.6709 acre tract of land at the appraised value of $225,000.00. The Town of Addison requests that you respond to this offer of purchase within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter. If we do not hear from you within the thirty (30) day period, the Town will consider its offer rejected and we will initiate eminent domain proceedings to acquire the property. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Mike Murphy, P.E., Director of Public Works, at 972-450-2871, or me.

I am currently working with several tenants to lease the referenced facility. The area that the Town of Addison needs to acquire has thirty-six parking spaces that are 􀁮􀁥􀁣􀁾􀁳􀁳􀁡􀁲􀁹 for the building. The Town of Addison has been vague on what will happen to these thirty-six parking spaces. In order to respond to these potential tenants for the property and not lose the opportunity to lease the property, I need the Town of Addison to immediately address the following issues: 1. Does the property lose the thirty-six parking spaces? 2. If the parking lot will be available then: a. How many spaces will be available? b. How will the parking be accessible and will there be a height restriction that will affect SUVs or trucks? c. What will be the construction of the parking lot (i.e. asphalt, coricrete or dirt)? d. Will the Town of Addison maintain the parking lot? e. Will the parking lot be lighted? f. What are the restrictions on using the parking lot? g. Will the parking lot be designated for 4139· Centurion Way use only? h. What insurance will be required for use of parking lot? 1. What will be the term of use of the parking lot and how will it be documented? J. Will the use of the parking lot be granted to the property or only the current ownership? k. List all fees, costs and expenses that the Town of Addison would require for use of the parking lot. 1. When will construction start and how long will it last? m. Where can the tenants park when they lose the thirty-six parking spaces during construction?

Additionally, I subsequently asked for written confirmation of the policy, as represented in the appraisal by Evaluation Associates, that if the property improvements were destroyed by more than 50%, the building could not be rebuilt in the same footprint. The Town continues to be vague and noncommittal on both of these issues and I am losing the opportunity to lease and potentially sell the property based on the lack of credible information. The Town chose to affect the economic viability of the property with the extension of Arapaho Road. Since the process is represented to be fair and equitable it would be helpful if the Town would be concise and consistent and decide if the representations made in the appraisal are correct. It was my understanding from speaking last week with Mike Murphy that the Town planned to have a meeting to discuss these issues on Monday or Tuesday of this week and would contact me to set a meeting to define these issues; however, as of this date I have not been contacted.. 1request the opportunity to address the City Council at the next meeting on April 23,2002. c.c.

Two offers were received on the prope,rty during the marketing period. One was by investors interested in purchasing the remainder property as an incOlue producing investment. The offer was $1,200,000 received May 8, 2002. The only other offer on the remainder was for $1,750,000 by a purchaser interested ill occupying the property. This offer was accepted and the sale of the remainder was con,summated July 2, 2002. This sa.le represents a 22.7% decrease in the value of the remainder. As reflected by the much lowe.r offer from investors, it is reaso.na.ble to conc1l,J.de that a user purchasing a property which fits his needs would be less concer.ned about the ecoo.ormc impacts from. the condemnation. The user would be most concern,ed with the physical impacts to his operation of the property. Had a lJser-purchaser not been found, it is likely thilt the pl'operty would hilve sold to . investors at a lower price. However, the sale did occur at the $1,750,000 level. Due to the relatively stable hght industrial market in this area since]uly, 2002, it is myopinion that this sale is the best indicatiou of the value of the rema.inder as of Aprils, 2003. The total value of the remainder after the ta.ke is: $1,750,000 Remainder Damages The daUJ.ages to the remainder are the diJfenmce between the estimated value of the remainder immediately before the takio.g a.nd the 􀁥􀁳􀁴􀁩􀁭􀁾􀁴􀁥􀁤 value of the remai.nder immediately after the taking. In this case theJ:e are estimated remainder damages of $484,515. ToW Compensation Due Owner The total compensation due the own.e.r is the sum of the value of the takin.gs and the damages to the remainder. The estimated value of the permanent taklngis $115,485 and the remainder damages are $484,5 􀁾􀀵 fo.r a total of: $600,000 13 04/05/2003 09:43 9724420729 BRIAN E SHULER PAGE 15/25 The following is a summary of these value estimates.
