Re: Engagement Letter to Provide Disclosure Counsel Services for Tax
Increment Bonds
Dear James:
We very much appreciate the opportunity to act as Disclosure Counsel to the
Southeast Overtown Community Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") for the Agency's
proposed tax increment bond issue (the "Bonds"), which will be issued to provide
infrastructure improvements and affordable housing within the CRA (the "Projects"). We
understand that the amount of Bonds issued will be approximately $140,000,000, and may
be issued all at once or in more than one series.
From our experience, we have found that clients appreciate a frank and open
discussion and understanding of the services that we will perform and the basis upon
which they will be expected to pay for those services.
This letter is intended to set forth our understanding as to the nature and scope of
the legal services we propose to render for you, the amount of our fees for those services,
the manner in which our fees for those services shall be determined and the terms upon
which you will make payment.
1. Nature of Legal Services as Disclosure Counsel. In the role of Disclosure
Counsel, we will be responsible for: (i) the preparation of the Official Statement, (ii)
undertaking due diligence relating thereto, including assisting the underwriter's counsel
with diligence collection and review, (iii) reviewing documentation prepared by the City,
bond counsel, the underwriters and the financial advisor. (iv) upon request by the Agency,
attending meetings at the Agency on matters concerning financial techniques, bond issues,
and various other issues which may arise,(v) reviewing the disclosure related provisions of
the bond purchase agreement and similar provisions in any other documentation, (vi)

preparing the Continuing Disclosure Agreement, (vii) assisting in the preparation of the
annual disclosure report and associated services for meeting annual disclosure
requirements, including all material event notices, and any other disclosure requirements,
and (viii) rendering a 10(b)(5) opinion to the effect that, without having undertaken to
determine independently the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Official Statement, nothing has come to our attention which would cause
us to believe that the Official Statement (except for any information in the Official
Statement relating to the operation of the book -entry system, and the financial statements
and statistical and financial data or projections or estimates or expressions of opinion
included in the Official Statement and the appendices thereto, as to which no opinion will
be expressed) as of its date, or as of the date of delivery of the Bonds, contained or contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect.
2. Fees for Services. Based on that understanding of the transaction as described
above, our fees for serving as Disclosure Counsel will be a as described in Exhibit A hereto.
3. Costs. In addition to the attorneys' fees discussed in Section 3, the firm will bill
for actual out-of-pocket costs such as delivery charges, photocopies, postage, faxes, and
computer research expenses.
4. Payment of Fees and Costs. The fees for the Disclosure Counsel services
outlined in this letter are usually payable at Closing, and we customarily do not submit any
statement until the Closing or unless there is a substantial delay in completing the
financing. If, after we have begun work on a financing, the financing is not consummated
or is completed without the rendition of our opinion as Disclosure Counsel, we will expect
to be compensated at our standard hourly rates for time actually spent (but not to exceed
the fees quoted in accordance with Section 2), plus out-of-pocket expenses.
5. Withdrawal from Representation. We reserve the right to withdraw from
representing you if you have misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts to us, or if we
disagree about the course of action which should be pursued.
6. Representation of Other Clients/Conflict. We are bound by rules of legal ethics
not to represent any client if the representation of that client will be directly adverse to the
interests of another client unless each such client consents to such representation after
consultation. If this letter is addressed to more than one person, your signature on this letter
will constitute such consent from you with respect to the matter or matters specifically
described in the Section of this letter entitled "Nature of Legal Services."

The SEOPW CRA currently owns "Overtown Plaza", a retail shopping center located at 1490
N.W. 3rd Avenue, Miami, FL 33136 which is home to several existing small businesses, and

sought to sell the business due to personal reasons, and negotiations ensued with 3 H

frequented by a significant amount of neighborhood residents. The proposed lease increases the
rent amount to more favorable levels to the SEOPW CRA and in line with market levels, while
supporting the goal to maintain national -level brand -name business establishments at the Plaza.
On August 9, 2023, the SEOPW CRA issued a public notice declaring its intent to lease the
premises, satisfying requirements of Florida Statutes 163.380(2) and 163.380(3)(a).

collection if paid by check or other financial instrument which is not cash or deemed immediately collected. Said
deposit shall be held by Landlord, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of
all the terms of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. The security deposit shall not be mortgaged,
assigned, transferred or encumbered by Tenant and any such act on the part of Tenant shall be without force and effect
and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

and unpaid or should Landlord make payments on behalf of the Tenant, or Tenant shall fail to perform any of the
terms of this Lease, or Tenant or any of its agents, employees, or customers, shall physically damage the Premises and
such damages shall not have been corrected, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other
remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply the entire deposit or so much thereof as
may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of Rent or Additional Rent or loss or damage sustained
by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant; and Tenant shall, within five (5) days of written demand, deposit
cash with Landlord to restore and replenish said security to the original sum deposited. Tenant's failure to maintain
such security shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. Should Tenant comply with all of said terms and promptly
pay all of the rentals as they fall due and all other sums payable to Tenant to Landlord, said deposit shall be returned
in full to Tenant promptly after the end of the term of this Lease or any extension hereof and provided Tenant timely
and properly fully vacates and surrenders.
(c) The Security Deposit shall not constitute prepaid Rent or liquidated damages, nor a measure of
damages in any respect, but may be applied by Landlord to other amounts due under this Lease. Landlord may deliver
the funds deposited hereunder by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises in the event the such
interest be sold and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to such deposit.

in the employ or control of Tenant. Landlord gives to Tenant exclusive control of the Premises and shall be under no
obligation to inspect the Premises. Tenant shall at once report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known
to him that Landlord is required to repair pursuant to this Section. Tenant's failure to report to Landlord any such
condition or defect shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liabilities, costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees

forth in this Section. Tenant, by taking possession of the Premises, shall accept and shall be held to have accepted the

Premises, the Shopping Center, or the Common Areas caused by the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees,
Licensees, invitees, or by visitors, shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at its sole cost and expense and to the
satisfaction of Landlord. Landlord may make such repairs that are not promptly made by Tenant and charge Tenant
for the cost thereof and Tenant hereby agrees to pay such amounts on demand as additional rent hereunder. Tenant
shall have no right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or to deduct the cost thereof from the rent due hereunder.

Premises or the building of which it is a part, or any improvement thereon. Any such liens are specifically prohibited.
All parties with whom the Tenant may deal are put on notice that the Tenant has no power to subject the Landlord's
interest to any claim or lien of any kind or character, and all such persons so dealing with the Tenant must look solely
to the credit of the Tenant, and not to the Landlord's interest or assets. Tenant shall put all such parties with whom

has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the building, or the Shopping Center or with

and occupancy.

I1. DESTRUCTION.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) if the Premises shall be partially damaged by
any casualty covered by Landlord's insurance policy, Landlord shall repair the same to their condition at the time of
the occurrence of the damage and the Minimum Rent shall be abated proportionately as to that portion of the Premises
rendered untenantable; provided, however, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence such repair until insurance
proceeds are received by Landlord and Landlord's obligation hereunder shall be limited to the application of the
proceeds actually received by Landlord under its insurance policy which have not been required to be applied towards
the reduction of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage covering the Shopping Center or any portion thereof.
(b) If the Premises (i) are rendered wholly untenantable (as determined by Landlord in the exercise of
its sole discretion) or (ii) should be damaged as a result of a risk which is not covered by Landlord's insurance; or (iii)
should be damaged in whole or in part during the last three (3) years of the Term or of any renewal term hereof, (iv)
or the building of which it is a part are damaged to the extent of fifty (50%) percent or more of the then monetary
value thereof; or (v) if any or all of the building or Common Areas of the Shopping Center are damaged, whether or
not the Premises are damaged, to such an extent that the Shopping Center cannot in the sole judgment of Landlord, be
operated as an integral unit, then or in any such event, Landlord may either elect to repair the damage or may cancel
this Lease by notice of cancellation within one hundred twenty (120) days after such event and thereupon this Lease
shall expire, and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord. Tenant's liability for Rent, subject to the
provisions regarding abatement of Minimum Rent contained in subparagraphs (a) and (c), shall continue until the date

casualty and the proceeds of all insurance carried by Tenant on its property and improvements shall be held in trust
by Tenant for the purpose of said repair and replacement. Tenant's obligation hereunder shall be effective regardless
of the original source of such improvements.
(d) If such damage or destruction occurs as a result of the negligence or misconduct of Tenant or
Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or invitees, and the proceeds of the insurance which are actually received by
Landlord are not sufficient to repair all of the damage, Tenant shall pay, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to Landlord
upon demand, the difference between the cost of repairing the damage and the insurance proceeds received by
Landlord.
12. CONDEMNATION.
(a) If the whole of the Premises shall be acquired or taken pursuant to the power of eminent domain for
any public or quasi -public use or purpose, then this Lease and the term herein shall cease and terminate as of the date
of title vesting in the public authority in such proceeding.
(b) If any part of the Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and such partial taking shall render that
portion not so taken unsuitable for the business of Tenant (as determined by Landlord in the exercise of its sole
discretion) (except for the amount of floor space) then this Lease and the Term herein shall cease and terminate as
aforesaid. If such partial taking does not render the Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant (which
determination shall be made by Tenant in the execution of its reasonable discretion), then this Lease shall continue in
effect except that the Minimum Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises taken
bears to the original floor area and Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary
repair or alterations to the building in which the Premises are located so as to constitute the portion of the building not
taken a complete architectural unit, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in
originally constructing the portion of the building housing the Premises, nor shall Landlord in any event be required
to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Premises
so taken. "Amount received by Landlord" shall mean that part of the award in condemnation for the part of the
Premises so taken which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by mortgagees for the value of the diminished
fee and less any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such condemnation proceeds if such costs were not
included in the amount received by Landlord.
(c) If more than twenty (20%) percent of the floor area of the building in which the Premises are located
shall be taken as aforesaid, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant terminate this Lease, such termination to be
effective as aforesaid.
(d) All compensations awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking of the Premises shall belong
to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant. Tenant shall, however, be entitled to claim,
prove and receive in such condemnation proceedings such award as may be allowed for reasonable relocation costs,
fixtures and other equipment installed by it but only to the extent that the same shall not reduce Landlord's award and
only if such award shall be in addition to the award for the land and building (or portion thereof containing the
Premises). To the extent that the Tenant has claim in condemnation proceedings, as aforesaid, Tenant may claim from
condemnors, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
Tenant shall not assign, transfer, sell, pledge, mortgage or encumber this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublet all or
any part of the Premises, without the Landlord's prior written consent and full compliance with the applicable Lease
provisions. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord's written consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld as to a request for consent to a sublet or an assignment of all of the Premises; and same
constitute the only possible transfers to which Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject

nonetheless to the following. No partial assignment of the Lease shall be permitted. No partial assignment of the
leasehold estate or Premises shall be permitted. No mortgage, security interest, or other instrument encumbering of
the leasehold estate shall be permitted. As a condition of Landlord's approval for any requested consent to a possible
assignment or sublet as aforesaid, Tenant agrees to promptly pay all costs incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith, including, but not limited to, an administrative fee of not Tess than Five Hundred and 00/100 dollars
($500.00) and, in addition thereto, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees of not less than One Thousand and
00/100 dollars ($1,000.00) and shall furnish to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) business days prior to the proposed
assignment or sublease all of the following: (a) financial statements for the proposed assignee or subtenant for the
prior 12 month period prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (b) federal tax returns
for the proposed assignee or subtenant for the past three (3) years, (c) a TRW credit report or similar report known in
the trade and acceptable to the Landlord on the proposed assignee or subtenant, (d) a detailed description for the
business the assignee or subtenant intends to operate at the Premises, (e) the proposed effective date of the assignment
or sublease, (f) a statement all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, and (g) a
detailed description of any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or
subtenant. The proposed assignee or subtenant shall execute an Assignment/ Assumption of Lease Agreement and
similar instruments in a form to be famished by the Landlord with all formalities required by law. The consent by
Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. This prohibition against assigning or subletting shall be construed to include a
prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. In the event Tenant is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, trust, or other business entity, the conveyance of a controlling interest in the capital stock
or other ownership or equity (including, without limitations, shares, membership interest and partnership interests), as
the case may be, shall be deemed an assignment for the purposes hereof. If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises
or any part thereof be occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may collect Rent from the assignee, or
occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, under -letting,
subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this provision or an acceptance of the assignee, under
tenant or occupant as lessee, or as a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the provisions on its
part to be observed or performed herein. Any increase in rent attributable to any assignment or sublease as set forth
herein shall be paid over to Landlord, as Additional Rent in consideration for Landlord's consent. Notwithstanding
any assignment or sublease, or Landlord's consent thereto, Tenant shall remain fully liable and shall not be released
from performing any of the terms of this Lease for all of the remaining term and any renewals or extensions thereof.
14. SUBORDINATION.
Tenant agrees that this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage,
deed to secure debt or other security instrument now or hereafter placed against the land and improvements comprising
the Shopping Center, the Premises, or the building of which the Premises are a part, or any part thereof, and to all
renewals, modifications, replacements, consolidations and extensions thereof. In furtherance of this Section, Landlord
and Tenant agree that this Lease shall act as a subordination agreement and shall automatically subordinate this Lease
to any such mortgage, deed to secure or other security interest. Further, to the extent of any conflict between the terms
of this Lease and the terms of the Loan Documents relative to any provisions within this Lease, the terms of the Loan
Documents shall control. Upon request of Landlord or any purchase of mortgagee of Landlord, Tenant agrees to
execute and deliver any further instruments, acts, things or documents to evidence such subordination within ten (10)
days of Landlord's request therefore. It is expressly understood and agreed that any such statement may be relied upon
by any prospective purchaser or encumbrance of all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a
part. The Tenant, upon request of any party in interest, shall execute promptly such instruments or certificates to carry
out the intent of this Section as shall be requested by the Landlord. Should Tenant not within ten (10) days following
the request of any party in interest, execute such instruments as aforesaid, then the Tenant irrevocably appoints the
Landlord as attorney -in -fact for the Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of the
Tenant any such instruments or certificates. Should any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee require a modification
or modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to
Tenant or in any other way substantially change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then, and in such
Page l2

3.3.a
event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to promptly execute whatever documents are

declaration in recordable form: (1) ratifying this Lease; (2) expressing the commencement and termination dates

the Landlord. Should Tenant not within ten (10) days following the request of any party in interest, execute such
instruments as aforesaid, then the Tenant irrevocably appoints the Landlord as attorney -in -fact for the Tenant with full

3.3.a
possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and rent the same for the account of the Tenant (which may
be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) in which event the Tenant covenants and agrees to pay any
deficiency after crediting it with the Rent thereby obtained less all repairs and expenses, including the costs of
remodeling and brokerage fees, and Tenant waives any claim it may have to any rent obtained on such relating which
may be in excess of the Rent required to be paid herein by Tenant; or (iv) perform such obligation (other than payment
of Rent) on Tenant's behalf and charge the cost thereof, together with reasonable fee for Landlord's time and effort,
to Tenant as Additional Rent; or (v) exercise any and all other rights granted to Landlord herein or by applicable law;
or (vi) the Landlord may resort to any two or more of such remedies or rights. The exercise of any of the options
herein contained shall not be deemed the exclusive Landlord's remedy. In addition to any other remedy or rights set
forth herein and not in limitation thereof, if Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Premises or cease doing business
therein and Rent payment shall be in default on such date, Landlord may immediately and without notice terminate
this Lease.
(b) Tenant also covenants and agrees to pay reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs and
expenses of the Landlord (at trial, on appeal or in settlement and in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding), including

concurrently and shall be cumulative and in addition to any others Landlord may be entitled to by law, and the exercise
of one or more rights or remedies shall not impair Landlord's right to exercise any other right or remedy. The failure
or forbearance of Landlord to enforce any right or remedy in connection with any default shall not be deemed a waiver
of such default nor a consent to a continuance thereof, nor waiver of the same default at any subsequent date.
18. ACCESS OF PREMISES.
Landlord or Landlord's agents shall have the right to place, maintain and repair all utility equipment of any kind in,
upon or under the Premises as may be necessary for the servicing of the Premises and other portions of the Shopping
Center. Landlord or Landlord's agents shall also have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect
or to exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, lessees, and tenants and to make such repairs, additions,
alterations or improvements as Landlord may deem desirable. Landlord shall be allowed to take all material in, to and
upon the Premises that may be required therefore without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in
part and the Rents reserved shall in no wise abate while said work is in progress by reason of loss or interruption of
Tenant's business or otherwise and Tenant shall have no claim for damages. If Tenant shall not be personally present
to permit an entry into the Premises when for any reason an entry therein shall be permissible, Landlord or Landlord's
agents may enter the same by a master key (or in the event of emergency or to prevent waste, by the use of force as
reasonably necessary and as allowed by law without it constituting a breach of the peace ) without rendering Landlord
liable therefore and without in any manner affecting the obligations of this Lease. Tenant shall no recourse against
Landlord for the exercise of Landlords rights under this Section or to institute and maintain any right or remedy
provided by law in the event of a default by Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall in no manner be construed to

liabilities on the part of Landlord occurring from and after the date of such transfer and Tenant does hereby release
Landlord, provided, however, that in which Tenant has an interest shall be turned over to the transferee and any
amounts then due and payable to Tenant by Landlord under any provisions of this Lease shall be paid to Tenant, it
being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of the Landlord shall,
subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord, solely for its periods of ownership of the Shopping Center. Tenant
agrees to look solely to Landlord's estate and property in the Shopping Center(or the proceeds thereof) for the
satisfaction of Tenant's remedies for the collection of a judgment or other judicial process requiring the payment of
money by Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, and no other property or assets of Landlord
shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under or
with respect to this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder, or Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Premises.

notice, shall vacate the Premises no later than the last day of the month in which Tenant receives said notice.

FIRST ADDENDUM
GENERAL ADDENDUM
THIS ADDENDUM TO LEASE amends and modifies as hereinafter set forth that certain Shopping Center Lease (the
"Lease") made and entered into as of the 1st day of July, 2023, by and Between Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency (Landlord"), and 3 H Communication, Inc. ("Tenant").
Provided that the Lease shall then be in full force and effect and in good standing and Tenant shall not be in default
thereunder, then Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of the Lease for one (1) additional term commencing
on the date immediately following the expiration Date of the Lease (the "Renewal Term Commencement Date"), and
extending to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Expiration Date.
Tenant's or Tenant's successor or assignee (collectively all deemed "Tenant" for purposes hereof) option to extend
the term of this Lease for the Renewal Term shall be expressly conditioned upon timely exercise thereof, time being
strictly of the essence in respect thereof; and such exercise shall be made by Tenant's giving of written notice to
Landlord not earlier than two hundred seventy (270) days and not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
what otherwise would be the Renewal Term Commencement Date. Upon the timely giving of such notice of election
by Tenant, in writing, accompanied by a current estoppel given by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms of the
Lease, and provided Tenant is not then in default or breach of the Lease, this Lease shall be deemed to be renewed
and the term hereof extended for the period of the Renewal Term without the need for execution of any further Lease
or instrument. For and during the Renewal Term, the Minimum Rent shall be market rent for local retail space at
Overtown Plaza as determined by Landlord and as set out in a writing to Tenant given by Landlord promptly after
Tenant's timely and proper delivery of its notice of election to exercise its option for the Renewal Term, subject
however to the following respecting Tenant's right to trigger a process to so determine such Minimum Rent for the e
Renewal Term; payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month and
otherwise in strict accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease. For the First Renewal Term, all of
the terms of the Lease, including without limitation the provisions in Section 4.2, thereof for adjustments to the
Minimum Rent shall be in full force and effect, and the base level for the purpose of computing Minimum Rent for
each year of the applicable Renewal Term shall be the said market rent for local retail space at Overtown Plaza as was
due during such first year of the Renewal Term.
c. Should Tenant disagree with Landlord's notification of the first year's rent for the Renewal Term,
so determined by Landlord as provided above, then, but only if timely done, time being strictly of the essence,
Minimum Rent that the Tenant shall pay for the applicable Renewal Term shall be determined by written agreement
of the Landlord and Tenant not less than five (5) months prior to the commencement of the relevant Renewal Term,
subject to the following in case of inability to so agree. If no such agreement is reached within the time stipulated,
either party may serve written notice on the other appointing a person who is a duly qualified real estate appraiser
having not less than fifteen (15) years' experience in such capacity to determine the Minimum Rent for the Renewal
Term, and the other party shall within fifteen (15) days after service of such notice, by written notice to the first party,
designate a person having similar qualifications to act as appraiser on its behalf. If the appraisers so designated are
unable to agree as to the Minimum Rent to be paid as aforesaid (each such appraiser shall be bound to so determine
in accordance with these terms and their good faith professional determinations of fair market rentals) within thirty
(30) days after the designation of the second appraiser, then, they shall themselves appoint a third appraiser having
similar qualifications whose written determination shall then be binding upon the parties but such third appraiser's
determination shall be limited to selecting the Minimum Rent determined by one of the two original appraisers and
no other number whatsoever, selecting the Minimum Rent which such third appraiser believes in good faith to be
mathematically closest to the actual fair market value then applicable. The decision of such third appraiser if properly
made by so selecting one or the other Minimum Rent determinations of the first and second appraiser shall be
conclusive and binding upon the parties. Should Tenant fail to timely select its first appraiser, then the determination
Page 23
#22913I837 v2
Landlord's initials:

3.3.a
of Landlord's appraiser shall be conclusively deemed to control. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the
appraiser appointed by such party and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by both
parties. For the purposes of determining the Minimum Rent for the renewal term of the Premises shall be deemed to
be vacant and improved and shall be evaluated on the basis of highest and best use as so improved.
Except as modified and amended hereby, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms,
including without limitation, the obligation of Tenant to pay Percentage Rent and Additional Rent as therein provided.

CALCULATION OF ADJUSTMENTS
TO MINIMUM RENT
Annual increases in Tenant's Minimum Rent shall be calculated as follows:

Disclaimer
Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC ("SWS" or "Siebert Williams Shank") is providing this information in response to the City of
Miami, Florida (the "City") Request for Proposals (the "RFP") in connection to its upcoming Non -Ad Valorem Special Obligation
Bonds transaction. Pursuant to the RFP, SWS submits this response for the City's consideration in anticipation of SWS serving
as a prospective underwriter only, and not as a municipal advisor. The information contained herein is not advice being
provided by a municipal advisor but instead is being provided solely in direct response to the RFP. Please see the important
disclosures below for further information about SWS's role, the nature of the information provided in this RFP response, and
the duties owed and not owed to the City by SWS.
Disclosures Regarding SWS's Role as Underwriter, Not as Municipal Advisor
SWS is providing the information contained in this document for discussion purposes only as prospective underwriter or in
anticipation of serving as underwriter on a future transaction in response to the RFP, and not as financial advisor or municipal
advisor. Should it be chosen to serve as an underwriter as a result of its response to the RFP, the primary role of SWS, as
underwriter, will be to purchase securities with a view toward distribution and/or for resale to investors in an arm's-length
commercial transaction with the City. As an underwriter, SWS would have financial and other interests that differ from those
of the City. An underwriter is required to deal fairly at all times with both issuers and investors. An underwriter has a duty to
purchase securities from an issuer at a fair and reasonable price, but must balance that duty with its duty to sell municipal
securities to investors at prices that are fair and reasonable. SWS, as underwriter, will review any official statement for the
City's securities in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors under the federal securities laws, as applied
to the facts and circumstances of the transaction.
This RFP response is an effort by SWS to be selected as an underwriter. SWS is not acting or seeking to act as a municipal
advisor to the City. Rather, as an underwriter acting for its own interest and unlike a municipal advisor, SWS will not have or
owe a fiduciary duty to the City pursuant to Section 158 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and,
therefore, is not required by federal law to act in the best interests of the City without regard to its own financial or other
interests. The City should consult with its own financial and/or municipal, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors, as
applicable, to the extent it deems appropriate before acting on any information or material contained in this RFP response. If
the City would like a municipal advisor in this transaction and does not have one that owes fiduciary duties to it, then the City
is free to engage a municipal advisor to serve in that capacity.
No Recommendations or Advice
SWS is not recommending any action to the City except as in direct response to the RFP. Unless otherwise expressly stated
herein, the information provided consists of general information that is factual in nature and may incorporate certain
hypothetical information based on the facts and assumptions described in the RFP. In order to properly respond to the RFP,
SWS has presented structuring and marketing recommendations that meet the needs of the City as set forth in the RFP. Such
information, hypotheticals, facts and assumptions are not intended to be or imply a recommendation or to be construed as

June 5, 2023
Via Email
Dear Ms. Paschal,
Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC
Mailing Address: 100 S. Ashley Dr, Suite 600
Tampa, FL 33602
Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC ("SWS"), formally Siebert Brandford Shank, is pleased to submit our response to the
City of Miami's (the "City" or "Miami") Request for Proposals to serve the City as part of its underwriting syndicate on its
anticipated issuance of the Non -Ad Valorem Special Obligation Bonds, Series 2023 (the "Bonds"). We believe our
extensive experience in marketing and pricing bonds similar to that contemplated by the City in these turbulent markets
and proven distribution channels uniquely qualify us to serve the City as senior managing underwriter for the Bonds.
LEADING NATIONAL UNDERWRITER. SWS has consistently provided high-level investment banking services for nearly 26 years,
allowing the firm to establish itself as one of the top national firms in municipal underwriting. For Q1, 2023, SWS ranked
#8 as Senior Manager for negotiated deals; SWS also ranked 12th nationally for negotiated senior -managed
transactions in 2022 and has ranked 13th each of the 5 years prior (2017-2021, full to bookrunner, full if joint). Our
firm's impressive track record is further evidenced by our #1 ranking in the same category among Minority or Woman -
owned Business Enterprise ("M/WBE") firms for a record 25 years. Additionally, our firm has received some of the
highest industry award recognitions, having led Bond Buyer Deal of the Year Award -winning transactions every year
from 2019 to 2022.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE & LOCAL PRESENCE. Having served in over $53.3 billion Florida debt, including senior managing $2.7
billion, and many other comparable special obligation transactions nationally, SWS is prepared to guide the City through
the issuance of the Bonds. Our experience with issuers within the State of Florida (the "State" or "Florida") includes
recent bookrunning engagements on behalf of Broward County and the City of Miramar, as well as transactions for
Miami -Dade County, Palm Beach Schools, and the Cities of Tallahassee, Tampa, and West Palm Beah, among many others.
Our recent experience with similar credits to the Bonds includes senior managed engagements for the City of Hartford,
Connecticut's Special Obligation Bonds (State Contract Assistance), which was issued in April 2023 in a volatile market,
and the City of Miramar's Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, in addition to sophisticated state -appropriation credits like
the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York and the State Public Works Board of the State of California.
SWS has continued to expand its footprint within the State, and now operates four regional offices in Florida: West Palm
Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and our recently established Tampa office, led by Central Florida native Robert Cox,
Senior Vice President. The firm's recent transactional engagements in the region, as well as our on -the -ground presence,
keep us apprised of regional dynamics, making us a valuable underwriter to the City.
STRUCTURING SUMMARY. As discussed, the City intends to utilize the funds that are anticipated to become available from
the sale of the existing site of the MRC in 2026 or 2027 towards the partial repayment of the Bonds. In our response we
outline alternative structuring options that include a separate series of bonds with a put or a short call that would allow
Miami the flexibility to legally retire a portion of the Bonds while keeping an overall level principal and interest repayment
structure at a reduced cost.
ABILITY TO EXECUTE IN CHALLENGING MARKETS AND STRONG CAPITAL POSITION. Given recent market volatility, it is particularly
important for the City's underwriter to have demonstrated the ability to execute transactions and, when necessary,
commit capital in all market environments. As detailed within, SWS has successfully helped its clients navigate this
volatility by developing an appropriate marketing strategy and leveraging the expertise of our sales force. Our ability to
commit capital when necessary is further enhanced by the growth of our excess net capital, rising nearly 10-fold since
2009. As of December 31, 2022, our total available capital allows SWS to serve as sole managing underwriter on a
transaction of approximately $2.0 billion, and as senior manager with 50% liability on an approximate $4.0 billion
transaction.
We thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal. SWS firmly believes it has the capabilities and experience to
serve the City as senior underwriter on its upcoming transaction, and affirms that the undersigned Jonathan Kirn, Senior
Managing Director, is authorized to commit the firm to the terms of the proposal. While SWS believes its qualifications
would best serve the City as senior manager, if not selected in that capacity, the firm would welcome the opportunity
to serve as co -senior or co -managing underwriter to support the City's offering. If you have any questions or require
any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact either of the undersigned.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Kirn

NATIONAL UNDERWRITING ACTIVITY. SWS iS a
prolific underwriter, consistently ranking
highly among peers in various categories
for more than two decades. In recent
years, the firm has experienced
exponential growth through both organic
and strategic partnerships, allowing it to
maintain its leadership position in the
industry and senior -manage many of the
nation's largest and most complex bond
issuances. SWS's recent national senior -
managed engagements on behalf of local
governments include the Cities of Hartford
($125 million, Apr. 2023), Pittsburgh ($58
million, Mar. 2023), Chicago ($524 million,
Dec. 2022), Atlanta ($409 million, Oct.
2022), and San Antonio ($286 million, Aug.
2022), among many others. Our success in
structuring, marketing, and pricing bonds on behalf of local governments is evidenced by significant repeat senior -
managed business with Florida issuers and many other prominent issuers across the nation, including the Counties of
Broward (12 transactions, $1 billion total) and Miami -Dade (4 transactions, $458 million), and the Cities of New York (9
transactions, $5 billion), Chicago (9 transactions, $3 billion), Atlanta (8 transactions, $2 billion), and Philadelphia (6
transactions, $2 billion), among others.
FLORIDA UNDERWRITING ACTIVITY. SWS and the
primary bankers assigned to the City have extensive
experience with Florida issuers, having participated
as a managing underwriter in $53.3 billion in
Florida debt financings, including senior managing
$2.7 billion since the firm's founding. The firm's
statewide presence is further demonstrated by our
inclusion in the senior manager pools for the
Counties of Miami -Dade and Broward and the City
of Tallahassee, in addition to transactional
mandates for the City of Riviera Beach, the School
District of Palm Beach County, and the Village of 2021
Wellington over the upcoming months in 2023. To
the right, we summarize our negotiated
underwriting experience nationally and in Florida
since January 2021.
CASE STUDIES. Below and on the following page we
provide case studies of our recent senior -led transactions in the State — both of which were led by Jonathan Kirn and
Robert Cox, and Andrew Gurley, the primary bankers and underwriter, respectively, assigned to the City.

*Does not include 3 current co -managed mandates, expected to price in 2023
Broward County, Florida I $199,265,000 Water and Sewer Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A
• On February 2"d, 2022 SWS served as bookrunning senior manager on Broward County's (the "County") Water and Sewer Utility
Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A. Proceeds of the Series 2022A Bonds were used to pay all or a portion of the costs of additional
improvements to the County's Water and Sewer Utility System (the "2022 Project")
• The Series 2022A Bonds were marketed in a volatile environment, with MMD rates increasing by 12 bps to 17 bps from the time the
POS and investor roadshow were posted on January 26th, to the time the bonds were pre -marketed on February 1'
• SWS prepared an investor presentation for the sale that highlighted the County's economic strengths and its strong recovery from
the COVID-19 pandemic, the strengths of the County's Water and Sewer Utility credit, and the County's strategic management of its
Water and Sewer Utility debt, as demonstrated by its healthy debt service coverage ratios both in the near and long-term
• The Series 2022A Bonds were 9.7x oversubscribed (excluding stock orders), with a majority of orders being placed in the 2045 serial
maturity (12.8x) and the 2047 Term Bond (9.7x)
- Spreads were tightened by 2 bps to 5 bps in maturities 2029 through 2037, and by 10 bps to 12 bps in maturities 2038 through
2047 compared to the spreads that were shown to investors during the pre -marketing process
• Due to favorable pricing results, level of overall interest and tightened spreads, the County chose to upsize the transaction by 10%
• The Series 2022A Bonds achieved an all -in TIC of 3.097%.
City of Miramar, Florida I $51,000,000 Taxable Special Obligation Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2021
• On June 30th, 2021 SWS served as bookrunning senior manager for the City of Miramar, Florida's (the "City") Taxable Special
Obligation Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2021 (the "Series 2021 Bonds")

3.4.a
• Given investor feedback after the pre -marketing period, coupled with factors such as volatility in the Treasury market during the
month of June and a number of larger deals looking to price prior to the July 4' weekend, SWS suggested going out in the IOI period
at the same levels as that of the pre -marketing period to build the order book. Following the second 101 period, all of the maturities
were subscribed.
■ The transaction was 2.2x times oversubscribed on aggregate and generated more than $113 million of orders; all of the orders were
submitted by SWS. The transaction received strong interest, including orders from 17 investors; over half of these investors were
those who did not participate in the City's prior offerings
■ Given the strong book of orders, a few short-term maturities were tightened by 5 bps, and the 2026 maturity was tightened by 3 bps
during price guidance
- Spreads were further tightened following Launch, with the 2023 — 2032 maturities receiving an additional 3 bps bump
■ The transaction resulted in $8.376 million of net present value savings, or 17.5% of the refunded par -amount, and achieved an all -in
TIC of 2.35%
SUMMARY OF INSTITUTIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL RETAIL DISTRIBUTION CAPABILITY. SWS has distribution channels that reach both
the institutional and professional retail investor markets, a valuable tool that can help the City maximize investor
participation when pricing the Bonds. We actively market to over 1,500 of the top tier institutional buyers nationally
including many of the largest mutual funds, insurance companies, corporations, trust departments, commercial bank
trust departments, "cross -over" buyers, and investment advisors — buyers that comprise more than 90% of the municipal
market. In addition to SWS actively covering the largest "Tier 1" institutional investors, our sales force has also long
focused on cultivating relationships through our secondary market activity with second- and third -tier institutional
buyers, including "retail conduits" or Separately Managed Accounts ("SMA") that have historically been under -serviced
by larger firms. SWS's coverage of and relationship with SMAs is one of the firm's competitive advantages, setting us
apart from many other leading national firms — nearly 50% of our trades in the secondary market are with SMAs. These
relationships allow SWS to generate qualifying retail orders, contributing to the success of our transactions as they
comprise the bulk of the retail market.
RECOMMENDED MARKETING STRATEGY & APPROACH. Market volatility and rate uncertainty continue to be a concern amongst
market participants. As such, the firm believes that the key to any successful sales and marketing effort is flexibility,
particularly with the timing, structure, and couponing of the transaction. To successfully market the sale of the Bonds,
SWS would deploy its three -pronged strategy to coordinate research and communication between bankers, sales
personnel, and investors.
Step 1: Our experienced professionals craft a compelling credit narrative for rating agencies and investors and establish
the optimal structure and timing of the issuance. For the latter, SWS utilizes proprietary tools to identify target investors
— those with the highest potential cash flow to reinvest and top holders of similar types of bonds. In the City's case, SWS
would identify top holders of peer credits, constituting similarly rated credits in the Florida region. As seen below, we've
identified several target investors by analyzing their holdings of these peer credits, and further break it down by maturity
buckets — an extremely valuable tool when pricing in current market conditions and an inverted MMD curve.

Step 2: The finance team then communicates critical information to our sales force when the transaction is publicly
announced via a report that details the structure, covenants, disclosures, ratings, and preliminary investor details.
Considering the current market environment, we recommend the early release of the EMMA notice, POS, and investor
presentation so that we may price a transaction sooner than expected if a window of opportunity is presented.

Step 3: Our salesforce builds upon the bankers' information by adding proprietary sales and trading analysis before
disseminating their unique "New Issue Package" to targeted buyers of our issuers' bonds. This package includes structure
wires, ratings reports, investor presentations, among other relevant information.
In addition to the steps mentioned above, SWS recommends that the City consider the following:
Specific Bond Issuance Process Recommendations
Flexible Authorizing
Documents
To the extent possible, SWS recommends that the City include flexible provisions in its bond resolution. Given
the uncertainty in the market, having a wider range of timing and structuring parameters (final maturity,
maximum interest rate, couponing etc.) will be to the City's advantage as it will be able to flexibly adjust to meet
investor demand.
Day -to -Day Pricing
Approach
If the primary market is volatile after the POS is released, SWS recommends that Miami remain flexible to
accelerate or delay pricing based on daily feedback from its underwriting syndicate and investors.
Voluntary Press
Release to Engage
with Investors
Prior to posting the POS, SWS recommends that the City issue a voluntary press release either through EMMA
or Bloomberg that announces the transaction. The City could post this information for marketing purposes at
least 4 to 6 weeks ahead of the POS. By placing a voluntary notice, the transaction becomes fully public
information and places it on investors' radars. It also allows the syndicate to raise awareness about the deal so
that investors allocate cash early for the City's Bonds.
RECOMMENDED RATING AGENCY APPROACH. The City currently possesses an underlying rating of Aa2 / AA / AA by Moody's,
S&P, and Fitch, respectively. As the City is aware, S&P upgraded many of the City's obligations from AA- to AA on May
17, 2023, including its non -ad valorem revenue -backed bonds, citing "Miami's economic growth and income
improvement, coupled with moderation of debt." Considering S&P's recent upgrade and positive forward -looking view
on the City's local economy, we would recommend obtaining a rating from S&P, anticipating the Bonds will be rated AA.
For certain issuers, such as those that issue frequently, are in the high AA or AAA category, and/or those that have ratings
with relative unanimity across its credits, we may suggest going to market with the one higher rating in the event that a
split rating may be expected. However, given that the S&P upgrade is recent, and because some of the City's other credits
do possess lower ratings, we would recommend going to market with a rating from an additional rating agency in order
to generate interest from a wider universe of investors.
While they have implemented some changes to their rating methodology, the process may be more nuanced with
Moody's based on the manner in which they have viewed the City's Special Obligation credit in the past. Moody's recently
updated their methodology to reflect a more comprehensive view of an issuer's financial position when reviewing the
issuer's non -ad valorem -backed obligations. This new methodology initially places non -ad valorem backed -debt at the
same rating as the underlying rating of the issuer, then adjusts the rating based on the pledged revenues an issuer intends
to appropriate. We believe it is possible for the obligations to obtain a rating equal to that of the City's, contingent upon
several factors. If the City's definition of "pledged revenues" encompasses all revenues within the general fund, this
would be viewed favorably by the agency and would likely result in the Aa2 rating. With respect to Fitch, their rating
methodology continues to penalize non -ad valorem -backed debt by at least one notch below the respective issuer's
underlying rating, citing that their methodology "reflects the statutory priority of the payment to essential government
services over debt service". For Fitch's ratings to be equal to S&P or potentially Moody's, this would require the current
underlying issuer rating of AA to be upgraded by at least one notch, above the latest AA from S&P. Drawing from our
experience with Florida issuers and non -ad valorem revenue transactions, as well as for the reasons mentioned above,
we recommend obtaining ratings from S&P and Moody's for the Bonds.
Additionally, considering the City's credit strengths bode well with the new methodology, we would recommend drafting
a rating agency presentation highlighting these key features, such as its strong cash position and growing economy.
Key Credit Features
Strengths
Considerations
Strong financial position with sizeable unrestricted cash balance
Elevated pension liabilities vs Aa2 rated peers
Growing tax base and local economy
Weak ESG factors may impact long term view by the Agencies
PROPOSED SYNDICATE SIZE, COMPOSITION, AND DESIGNATION POLICY. We would recommend a syndicate of six (6) firms
consisting of a senior book runner, one co -senior, and 4 co -managers, with liabilities of 60%, 20%, and 5% for each co-
manager, respectively. "Group Net" allows the entire team to receive some level of compensation while "Net Designated"
provides an opportunity and incentive for firms to reach out to their client base and solicit orders. For the City's proposed
bond issuance, we believe that utilizing Net Designation would incentivize all members of the syndicate to actively
participate, maximize distribution potential, and ultimately would achieve the best results for the City. Below, we provide
a sample designation policy to ensure equitable distribution between all parties involved.
Sample Designation Policy: (1) At least 4 firms must be named (2) No firm may receive more than 60% of any designation
(3) Minimum designation per firm of 10% (4) Co -senior must be designated.
While we would not recommend a separate retail order period, there may value for the City in implementing an individual
and professional retail priority. We would review these alternatives closer to the pricing for the Bonds.

3.4.a
Structure Ideas and City Experience (3-page limit)
RECOMMENDED STRUCTURING FOR THE BONDS. The City desires a level annual debt service structure with a 30-year final
maturity for its Bonds, however, given that the City is anticipating paying off a portion of the Bonds with funds that are
expected to be received from the sale of the existing site of the MRC, SWS recommends structuring the Bonds with 2
series where (i) $160-$170 million of the Bonds are issued fixed rate with a conventional 9 or 10-year par call option, and
(ii) $60-$70 million of the Bonds are issued with an alternative structure that would provide the City with the flexibility
to repay these series of Bonds once the funds
are received from the sale. (Note that a 4-year
call results in a significant pricing penalty so the
best way to mitigate that is to have a shorted call
apply to a subset of the series of bonds and not
the issuance as a whole.) Each series would be
structured with level annual debt service so that
when the one series is retired with the
anticipated cash, the remaining debt service will
still be level.
Variable rate products such as floating rate
notes ("FRNs") as well as variable rate demand
bonds ("VRDBs") that can mirror the structure of
and act as a long-term financing, are viable options for the second component — the former is generally accompanied
with a short mandatory tender date and/or a call date, and the latter is callable at any time. However, both FRNs and
VRDBs have been costly in the current interest rate environment where rates have risen significantly in general and the
yield curve has become inverted — in fact, more recently, we have witnessed issuer clients show an interest in fixing out
their outstanding variable rate obligations. Further, given the volatility that the market has continued to witness since
2022, FRNs and VRDBs would make it difficult for the City to plan for debt service payments. These market conditions
may change by the time the City is ready to access the market, however as alternatives, below we outline fixed-rate
structures for the second component of the financing that SWS believes could be suitable for the Bonds, as it would
provide the City with the flexibility to retire the smaller component with the anticipated funds at a fixed rate.
ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURING SOLUTION 1: PUT BONDS. Put bonds are obligations with a fixed interest rate for, and priced to, the
"put" date; many put bonds are also structured with a call option six months to a year prior. Historically, put bonds have
been characterized with lower rates than long-dated fixed rate bonds, and while subject to a stepped rate, the issuer will
not be in default if the obligations are not successfully refinanced at the put date. Given that the City has an estimated
timing as well as the amount of funds that will become available, a three or four-year put bond could provide Miami with
the flexibility to retire the component with the anticipated funds, in addition to maintaining a level annual debt service
structure before and after the retirement, with a relatively low cost of capital.
ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURING SOLUTION 2: SHORT CALL. The City could also elect to issue the second component of the
transaction with a short 4 or 5 year call date. However, short calls are trading much cheaper than more conventional calls
due to the current interest rate environment and the inverted yield curve.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: CASH DEFEASANCE IN YEAR 3 OR 4. Issuing the entirety of the Bonds with a 10-year par call would result
in the lowest nominal cost of capital for the City — Miami could elect to issue the Bonds in such manner and utilize the
funds that become available in year 3 or 4 to legally cash defease the $60-$70 million portion of the Bonds. Alternatively,
it may prove more economical for the City to utilize the cash to defease a portion of the Special Obligation Bonds that
were issued in 2018, or any of the other obligations that the City has issued in the past, as opposed to repaying the Bonds.
However, the market conditions in three to four years are unknown. Depending on the yield of the government securities
that are available and selected for the escrow at the time, this option may ultimately be more costly than the put bond
or short call options, where the cost of repayment for the second component of the Bonds will be known at issuance.

PRICING LEVELS. As requested, below we provide SWS's indicative pricing levels for the various structuring alternatives
discussed above, assuming market conditions as of COB Friday, June 2, 2023 and Aa2/AA ratings. While the indicative
spreads take into consideration typical metrics such as recent transactions by similarly -rated issuers, other non -ad
valorem special obligation transactions, and issuances within Florida, they are also reflective of current market volatility
and experience gleaned from our senior -managed transactions in the last few months. The market continues to witness
significant volatility since the beginning of 2022 with both US Treasury rates and MMD yields experiencing
considerable swings. In recent weeks, the municipal market has continued to see weakness with sizeable MMD cuts
across most of the curve, particularly in the short end, where the deepest inversion is happening. These MMD
movements have translated into most transactions entering the market wider than premarketing levels and certain
transactions changed to day-to-day in an attempt to avoid pricing during a volatile day. We provide this information to
say spreads may seem wider when compared to similar offerings of its peers over the past couple of years as investors
are now requiring wider spreads and/or alternative coupon structures for participation. To ensure investor participation,
we recommend initial offers start wider in order to build a book of orders especially in the current market, which,
contingent upon subscription levels, will allow for repricing and a tightening of spreads. Factors that could impact our
view include unexpected news from the FOMC meeting in June and/or July (assuming a late June or July pricing/July
closing), or any other general macroeconomic data that would suggest considerable changes to the consensus view on
the path of interest rates.
As the market tone continues to evolve week -over -week in this challenging environment, issuers continue to re-evaluate
methods of best -execution of transactions - as mentioned previously, flexibility continues to be extremely valuable. In
the current market, we believe that the indicative scales below would generate the most interest. Please note that the
scale presented within Exhibit A is representative of that of the 10-Year Par Call Scale.

MAINTAINING FLEXIBILITY WITHIN OFFERING DOCUMENTS. As forementioned, in the current volatile market flexibility continues
to be valuable, and we would suggest the same approach be taken for the Preliminary Official Statement in order to allow
for the City to adapt to information that may become available during the marketing period. For example, leaving the
timeframe to which a portion of or all of the Bonds would become eligible for optional redemption or a put provision

(depending on the structure that the City elects to execute) would allow for the City and its financing team to conduct
reverse inquiries to investors during the marketing period to gauge what the investors find palatable.
Call Option
Sample Prepayment Language
The Bonds maturing on or before , 20 * are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. The
Bonds maturing on or after , 20 * , will be subject to optional redemption prior to maturity at the sole
option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on and after , 20_*, at a redemption price equal to
par plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
Put Bonds with a Call

WILLINGNESS To COMMIT CAPITAL. Municipal finance is and has always been the firm's core business - the firm frequently
risks its capital in the primary market to ensure pricing integrity for our clients, seamlessly providing the underwriting
commitment necessary to underwrite unsold balances in our senior managed transactions when and if necessary. SWS
is able to quickly allocate resources to support our senior managed transactions, mainly due to our size and focus.
SWS has consistently demonstrated willingness to take bonds into inventory to support an issuer's pricing levels. In the
event that there are unsold balances, Gary Hall, SWS' President & Head of Infrastructure and Public Finance, is readily
accessible to make quick decisions as it relates to committing our capital to underwrite bonds for our clients. Given the
current market environments discussed above, this commitment is a major factor that the City may want to consider
when selecting underwriters for the Bonds. Below we provide recent examples in which SWS committed its capital to
support the financing.

Below we provide a case study for SWS's senior -managed Pflugerville Independent School District transaction from
January 2023, which highlights the circumstances of the offering and our willingness to commit capital.
$337,300,000 Pflugerville Independent School District I Unlimited Tax School Building Bonds, Series 2023A & Taxable Series 2023B
• SWS served as book -running senior manager on Pflugerville Independent School District's $293,350,000 Unlimited Tax School
Building Bonds, Series 2023A and $43,850,000 U/L Tax School Building Bonds, Taxable Series 2023E which priced in the market on
Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
• In preparation, the District, Financial Advisor and SWS prepared a very early EMMA notice of sale in December alerting investors
of the upcoming pricing.
- SWS also prepared an investor roadshow to highlight the District's strengths, viewed by 27 institutional investors
• The Series 2023A bonds were structured with three call dates, providing the District maximum future financing flexibility.
• In the Holiday -shortened weeks ofJanuary, over $3.5Bn had already been issued on behalf of Texas School Districts, including $1.2Bn
the week of pricing.
• Notably in 2023, Texas K-12 debt has been issued without the ubiquitous Permanent School Fund guarantee (PSF), a phenomenon
not seen since 2008 after having reached the federally allowed leverage limit against the trust instrument securing PSF bonds.
• Investors seemed to hit the pause button the week of the District's pricing which was the first week of the first slate of sizeable
school districts transactions without PSF wrapping and sub -AAA rating Texas ISD paper. The market also witnessed unfavorable
MMD:UST ratios and a pending FOMC rate decision.
• As a result, maturities 2034-2035, 2040, 2045, and 2048 were substantially undersubscribed - with subscription levels ranging from
as low as 5% (2045) to 60% (2048). Nevertheless, the SWS-led syndicate garnered $370 MM of orders across all maturities on the
Series A bonds, achieving 1.3x oversubscription on the series as a whole, and $265 MM for the Series B bonds (6.1x oversubscription)
• Despite the transaction having a balance of unsold bonds on the Series 2023A bonds, the SWS underwriting desk worked diligently
to develop a plan to reprice the bonds with yields on four maturities being lowered and five maturities increasing, while
maintaining three call dates, including a 6-year call date on the term bond. To ensure the integrity of the bonds, SWS underwrote
$57.2 million of bonds.
• In addition, SWS repriced two maturities to change select coupons from 5% to 4%, beneficing the district's All -In TIC resulting in an
All -In TIC of 3.93% for the District.

BACKGROUND:
A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") with attachment(s), authorizing the Executive Director to
execute a purchase and sale agreement ("Agreement") (Exhibit "A"), between the SEOPW CRA and
Gloria B. Lewis, for the acquisition of the real properties located at 350 N.W. 8th Street, Miami, Florida,
33136; 360 N.W. 8th Street, Miami, Florida, 33136; 374 N.W. 8th Street, Miami, Florida, 33136; and 378
N.W. 8th Street, Miami, Florida 33136, containing an approximate total adjusted area of 22,518 square
feet ("Property"), as legally described in the agreement for an amount not to exceed Three Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars, and No Cents ($3,500,000.00), the appraised value of the property, as
depicted in Exhibit `B" pursuant to section 163.370, Florida Statutes, and the SEOPW CRA
redevelopment plan, excluding reasonable and customary costs for surveys, environmental reports, and
closing. Further authorizing the Executive Director to negotiate and execute all necessary documents,
including any amendments and modification to said agreement, in a form acceptable to General Counsel
and special outside Counsel William Bloom from Holland & Knight, LLP, that may be necessary to
effectuate said acquisition.
The Property is the current site of People's Bar-B-Que Restaurant ("People's") that is under renovation
and nearly complete. People's has been a long-standing business in the Redevelopment Area and the
seller wishes to sell the business and Property. The purchase of the Property by the SEOPW CRA allows
for the possibility that the business and perhaps the `People's Bar-B-Que' name can remain at its current
location.
JUSTIFICATION:
The SEOPW CRA is a community redevelopment agency created pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida
Statutes, and is responsible for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within its
Redevelopment Area in accordance with the 2018 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Plan Update (the "Plan").

Dear Mr. Zeltsman:
J. Mark Quinlivan (Retired)
In accordance with your request and authorization, I have prepared this Appraisal Report
covering the following described property:
A one-story restaurant building, located at 350 N. W. 8th Street,
Miami, Florida
The purpose of this Appraisal is to estimate the Market Value of the described property as of
September 7, 2023, being one of the dates of personal inspection.
The narrative Appraisal Report that follows sets forth the identification of the property, the
assumptions and limiting conditions, pertinent facts about the area and the subject property,
comparable data, the results of the investigations and analyses, and the reasoning leading to the
conclusions set forth.
This report was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) relating to appraisal standards as
enumerated in Title 12, Code of Federal Regulation, Part 34 (12CFR34) and in compliance with
the most current Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as adopted by
the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.
Access to the interior of the building was not available from the property owner. This appraisal
is based on the extraordinary assumption that the interior of the building is in serviceable
condition and in similar condition to competitive properties in the market area. If the
extraordinary assumption does not exist, the value conclusion could be different.

$3,425,000

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
Market Value means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and
open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting
prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit
in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from
seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
(1) buyer and seller are typically motivated;
(2) both parties are well informed or well advised and acting in what
they consider their own best interest;
(3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure to the open market;
(4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of
financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
(5)
the price represents a normal consideration for the property sold
unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions
granted by anyone associated with the sale.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTION
An extraordinary assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be
false, could alter the appraiser's opinion of value. 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 or trends; or
about the integrity of data used in an analysis.

ASSESSMENT AND TAXES — 2022
The subject property is assessed under the jurisdiction of City of Miami, Florida.
The assessment for the property is established each year as of January 1st by the Miami -Dade
County Property Appraiser's Office at 100% of "Just Value." Just Value has been equated to
Market Value less closing costs. While the State of Florida requires real estate to be assessed at
100% of Just Value, in reality the ratio of the assessed value to sales price is generally below
100%.

SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL
The scope of the assignment relates to the extent and manner in which research is conducted,
data is gathered and analysis is applied, all based upon the following problem -identifying factors
stated elsewhere in this report.
This appraisal of the subject has been presented in the form of an Appraisal Report, which is
intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2 (a) of the
USPAP.
Data related to the subject property was derived from various sources including but not limited to
the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, Miami -Dade County Clerk's Office,
FEMA flood zone maps, a title commitment, and tax roll information provided by the Miami -
Dade County Property Appraiser's Office.
Comparable sale sources include the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, the
Miami -Dade County Clerk of the Courts, Board of Realtors' Multiple Listing Services, Costar,
and LoopNet. Sales prices are typically confirmed with a party to the transaction, i.e., buyer,
seller, real estate agent or attorney to the transaction.
The site is improved with a restaurant building that is currently unoccupied. Therefore, a
stabilized value is estimated herein. The stabilized value is estimated based on one of the three
traditional approaches to value: Cost Approach, Income Approach, and Sales Comparison
Approach. The Cost Approach is not considered relevant to the valuation since the
improvements are existing and an estimate of effective age and accrued depreciation would be
subjective. A search for sales and rentals of restaurant buildings in Miami -Dade County was
conducted. The initial sales period researched were from January of 2021 through the date of
valuation. The sales all have similar improvements and highest and best uses as the subject
property. Several other comparable sales and rentals were considered, but were not included
because there was too wide a difference in physical factors, location and time.

ESTIMATED EXPOSURE TIME
Exposure time is defined, as 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 upon an
analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market.
The overall concept of reasonable exposure encompasses not only adequate, sufficient and
reasonable time but also adequate, sufficient and reasonable effort.
A reasonable exposure time for the subject property is estimated from discussions with buyers,
sellers, brokers and/or a review of the multiple listings of similar properties sites in the area
related to historic marketing periods.
Based on the above sources, exposure time is estimated to have been twelve months for the
subject property.
ESTIMATED MARKETING PERIOD
The estimated value of the subject is predicated upon a normal marketing period. A normal
marketing period is generally defined as the most probable amount of time necessary to expose
and actively market a property on the open market to achieve a sale. Implicit in this definition
are the following assumptions:
(A) The property will be actively exposed and aggressively
marketed to potential purchasers through marketing channels
commonly used by sellers and buyers of similar type
properties.
(B) The property will be offered at a price reflecting the most
probable markup over market value used by sellers of similar
type properties.
(C) A sale will be consummated under the terms and conditions
of the definition of Market Value required by the regulation.
In order to estimate the marketability of this property, the sales activity in this market area was
reviewed over the past three years, multiple listings were reviewed and real estate brokers who
operate in this area were interviewed.
Based on the above sources, the subject property could be sold within a twelve month time
period.

NEIGHBORHOOD DATA
The subject property is located in the northern periphery of the Central Business District of
Miami in an area known as Park West. The site is located on the south side of N. W. 8th Street,
between, N. W. 3rd Avenue and N. W. 4th Avenue, adjacent to the west of Interstate 95,
Biscayne Boulevard (U.S. Highway #1) is a north/south traffic artery in the City of Miami.
Biscayne Boulevard extends northerly from Brickell Avenue to the Broward County line. The
majority of commercial properties in the subject neighborhood front on Biscayne Boulevard.
These commercial properties include motels, retail stores, restaurants, and multiple story office
buildings.
The Overtown area located west of Interstate 95 and north of the Miami River is a mixed use
area comprised of low rise apartment buildings and industrial properties. A bridge spanning the
Miami River is located at N.W. 7th Avenue, there block southwest of the subject property.
Several of the properties located in the area are maritime industrial uses related to the Miami
River.
The Overtown area, west of N.W. 1st Avenue and north of N.W. 5th Street to N.W. 20th Street, is
characterized by a large number of small apartment buildings. These buildings were constructed
primarily in the late 1940s and 1950s. These buildings generally are in poor to fair condition,
with virtually no new private construction in recent years.
There are two 30-story high-rise apartment buildings located just north of the former Miami
Arena site at N.W. 8th Street and N.W. 1st Avenue. These buildings were constructed on City of
Miami land by private developers. The south building, Bayview Towers, was constructed in
1989 and contains 356 units. The north building, Park Place by the Bay, was constructed in 1990
and contains 463 units. The rental rates area relatively reasonable in these buildings.
There has been little redevelopment in this area. The stimulus to speculation has been the
Performing Arts Center on Biscayne Boulevard at N.E. 13th Street. The construction was
completed in 2007. In addition to the speculation related to the Performing Arts Center, the
establishment of the Park West Entertainment District by the City in April of 2000 had a positive
effect on the property values.
The intent of the Ordinance was to eliminate the distance requirements between nightclubs and
to actually encourage establishment of clubs in close proximity to one another. It also provides
for 24-hour liquor licenses within the district. The Park West Entertainment District is bounded
by S.R. 836/I-395 to the north, Biscayne Boulevard to the east, N.E. 7th Street to the south, and
North Miami Avenue to the west.
Motivated by the liberal provisions of the Park West Entertainment District, in conjunction with
greater restrictions being placed on nightclub operators on South Beach, club owners have

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

Packet Pg. 162
3.5.b
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Fundamental to the concept of value is the theory of highest and best use. Land is valued as if
vacant and available for its highest and best use.
The Appraisal Institute in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, defines
highest and best use as follows:
The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is
physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and results in the highest value.
Land has limited value unless there is a present or anticipated use for it; the amount of value
depends on the nature of the land's anticipated use, according to the concept of surplus
productivity. Among all reasonable, alternative uses, the use that yields the highest present land
value, after payments are made for labor, capital, and coordination, is generally regarded as the
highest and best use of the land as though vacant.
The highest and best use of a property as improved refers to the optimal use that could be made
of the property including all existing structures. The implication is that the existing improvement
should be renovated or retained as so long as it continues to contribute to the total market value
of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than offset the cost of
demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one.
In estimating the highest and best use there are essentially four stages of analysis:
1. Possible Use. What uses of the site being appraised are physically possible?
2. Permissible Use (Legal) What uses are permitted by Zoning and Deed
Restriction, if any?
3. Feasible Use. Which possible and permissible uses will produce a net return to
the owner of the site?
4. Maximally Productive. Among feasible uses, which use will produce the highest
net return to the owner of the site?
The highest and best use of the land (or site), if vacant and available for use, may be different
from the highest and best use of the improved property. This is true when the improvements are
not an appropriate use, but make a contribution to the total property value in excess of the value
of the site.
The following four point test is required in estimating the Highest and Best Use. The use must be
legal. The use must be probable, not speculative or conjectural. There must be a profitable
demand for such use and it must return to the land the highest net return for the longest period of
time.

These tests have been applied to the subject property. In arriving at the estimate of Highest and
Best Use, the subject site is analyzed as vacant and available for development, and as improved.
Possible Use
The site has frontage on N. W. 8th Street, N. W. 3rd Court and N. W. 4rh Avenue. N. W. 8th Street
and N. W. 4th Avenue are secondary streets. N. W. 3rd Court is a frontage road to Interstate 95.
The site has good road access and exposure.
The site is 22,518 square feet in size which equates to 0.52 of an acre. The size and street
frontage of the subject site would allow a moderate scale use or subdivision into several sites.
The site is irregular in shape, with sufficient street frontage and width to have good functional
utility.
The size, shape, width and street frontage of the site would indicate moderate scale use or a
subdivision into several sites.
Permissible Use
Permissible or legal uses are those uses which are permitted by zoning or deed restrictions.
There are presently no known private deed restrictions of record.
The site is zoned for mixed commercial and residential uses. The zoning of the site permits most
commercial uses, hotels, houses, duplexes, townhouses and apartments. The maximum building
density is based on a maximum lot area ratio of five times the net lot area. The maximum
residential density is 150 dwelling units per acre. The maximum building footprint is 80% of the
net lot area. The maximum building height is eight stories.
Feasible Use/Maximally Productive Use
The physical characteristics and zoning of the subject property permit a wide range of potential
uses. The possible and permissible uses of the subject site include banks, hotels, office buildings,
retail stories and residential uses.
The physical characteristics and zoning of the subject property would indicate a small scale use,
such as an office building, mixed use office and residential use, hotel, or government building.
The site is a comer location that has street frontage on three sides. The site has direct visual
exposure to Interstate 95. The site has good road access and exposure. The site is located a few
blocks from a Metro Rail station. Metro Rail is the mass transit elevated train system of Miami -
Dade County.
The permissible uses of the subject site include offices, banks, stores, hotels, restaurants,
religious facilities, schools, residential uses, and most commercial uses.
The good exposure of the site would benefit a commercial use.

Conclusion — As Vacant
Based on the zoning, physical characteristics, and surrounding uses, the highest and best use of
the site is estimated to be for a commercial use.
Highest and Best Use as Improved
The subject site is improved with a one-story restaurant building, parking lot, and an outdoor
advertising sign. The building was constructed in 1994 and appears to be in average condition.
The building is designed for single tenancy. According to the public records, the adjusted area of
the building is 3,960 square feet. Based on land area of the site, the land -to -building ratio of the
property is 5.7-to-one. The land -to -building ratio of the property is high in comparison with the
sales analyzed in this report.
The existing building is in conformity in use and design with surrounding buildings. A
restaurant use is permitted by the current zoning of the property.
Based on the above factors, the existing restaurant building represents the highest and best use of
the site.

THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
QUINLIVANAPPRAISAL

3.5.b
THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
The appraisal of real estate is generally valuated by means of one or more of the following
approaches:
(1) The Cost Approach
(2) The Income Approach
(3) The Sales Comparison Approach
The Cost Approach
In the Cost Approach, land and building are valued as though they are separate entities. The land
value is first estimated as if vacant. Then, by consulting various cost services, local building
contractors and knowledge of construction costs, the replacement cost new of the building is
estimated. Accrued depreciation from all sources including physical deterioration, functional and
economic obsolescence must be deducted from this cost. The estimated land value is then added
to the depreciated cost of the building to give the "depreciated replacement cost" of the
property.
The Cost Approach is based on the premise that the value of a commodity tends to be set by the
cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute. Applied to real estate, the assumption is that a
person would not likely pay more for a property than it would cost him to acquire a suitable site
and place an equally desirable building upon it. Costs would include direct cost of construction,
indirect costs such as financing costs, land and developer/builder's profit.
The Cost Approach has the most applicability when building improvements are new. However,
the estimate of accrued depreciation in older buildings become more difficult and, hence, affects
the reliability of this approach to value.
Furthermore, investors in existing commercial properties, such as the subject property, are more
concerned with the net income of a property rather than a replacement cost.
Considering the subject improvements have an age of 29 years old, the Cost Approach would
have little applicability in this situation and is not utilized.
Income Approach
The Income Approach is based on the premise that the value of a property may be determined by
the amount of net income it can reasonably produce over its remaining economic life. The
rationale of the approach is that the present worth of a future income stream is equivalent to the
value of the property, which produces that income.
QUINLIVANAPPRAISAL
4(1
Packet Pg. 171
3.5.b
Four basic steps comprise the Income Approach:
(1) Estimate the reasonable expectable annual gross income the
property will likely produce.
Deduct an allowance for vacancy and collection loss to arrive
at the effective gross income.
Deduct the annual expense of operation from the effective
gross income to arrive at the annual net income.
Capitalize the annual net income into an indication of value.
The subject property is currently unoccupied. Contract rent from a lease was not available for
analysis. Comparable rentals from competitive properties are analyzed to estimate the market
rent of the property.
The operating expenses were based on the actual operation of the subject and from comparable
buildings. The projected net income is capitalized based on an overall rate estimated by a Band
of Investment technique and from overall rates abstracted from market sales.
The Sales Comparison Approach
The Sales Comparison Approach is an attempt to measure the reactions of typical buyers and
sellers. In this approach, a direct comparison is made between the property being appraised and
comparable properties, which have sold recently. These sales are compared for degrees of
comparability such as location, size, age, zoning, time, the conditions of sale, financing and other
pertinent data, which would affect value. Adjustments are made for these factors in order to
arrive at a reliable estimate of value.
In this report, sales of restaurant properties in the subject and competitive locations are gathered
and analyzed. Comparable locations are considered to be the city of Miami.
Reconciliation
After applying the three approaches, three separate indications of value are obtained. The
indicated values obtained from each approach must be correlated into one final conclusion of
value. Usually one approach will be considered more significant than the rest, either because of
the reliability of the data, or because of the type of property involved. Reconciliation is the
process by which each approach is objectively weighted according to its importance.

until the time of collection.

The rental rates of the comparable retail rentals range from $35.00 to $56.00 per square foot of
building area. Four of the five rental rates are on a net basis. Net rental rates obligate the tenants
for all operating expenses. A gross rental rate obligates the tenant for utility services.
The rental properties range in size from 2,074 to 6,893 square feet. The subject property, at 3,960
square feet, is within the range of the sizes of the rental properties.
The building conditions of all of the comparable rental properties are considered similar to the
building condition of the subject property.
Based on the comparable rentals and the contract rental rates of the subjects, the market rent of
the subject retail space is estimated to be $42.00 per square foot of rentable area on a net basis.

Vacancy and Collection Loss
A vacancy and collection loss allowance is a reduction in potential rental income due to space
not leased or rents not collected. This allowance is generally expressed as a percentage of
Potential Gross Income.
The subject property is a single tenant design that would be either 100% occupied or 100%
vacant. Leases for single tenant buildings usually have long terms, but at the expiration of a lease
the building could be 100% vacant until a new tenant could be located.
The subject property is currently 100% vacant.
The Colliers Miami Retail Market Report for the second quarter of 2023 indicates an overall
vacancy for retail space in Miami -Dade County of approximately 2.8%. The Miami market area
is reported to have a vacancy rate of 2.2%
Based on the above a vacancy and collection loss allowance of 5% is considered applicable for
the subject.
Operating Expense Analysis
Based on expense information obtained from the similar buildings, discussions with management
agents, from a review of published studies and the actual operation of the subject property, the
operating expenses are estimated as follows:
Management is based on 4% of Effective Gross Annual Income. This item would cover salary
and administrative cost for rent collection and record keeping of the subject property. This
expense equates to $2.90 per square foot of building area.
Real Estate Taxes - The real estate taxes are based on the actual 2022 assessment and millage
rate, less the 4% discount for early payment. The actual real estate taxes are $26,738 or $6.75 per
square foot of building area. This expense would be reimbursed by the tenant.
Insurance - This expense is estimated at $1.00 per square foot of building area. This expense
would be reimbursed by the tenant.
Repairs and Maintenance - This expense is estimated at $0.50 per square foot of rentable
building area. These expenses include structural repairs, air conditioning repairs, plumbing
repairs, site maintenance, etc.
Janitorial — Paid by tenant
Utilities - Paid by tenant
Professional Fess - This expense is estimated at $0.25 per square foot of rentable building area.
This expense would cover legal fees, accounting fees, appraisal fees, surveyor fees, etc.

Reserves for Replacement — Reserves cover the replacement of long lived building items such
as painting, roof cover and air conditioners. The reserves were estimated at $0.30 per square
foot of rentable building area.
The total expenses equate to $12.17 per square foot of rentable building area. The ratio of
operating expenses to effective gross income is approximately 16.8%.
SELECTION OF CAPITALIZATION RATE
Capitalization is a process, which translates an income projection into an indication of value. The
connecting link is a rate, which reflects the return necessary to attract investment capital. Hence,
the selection of an appropriate rate represents a critical factor in the capitalization process

From discussions with lending institutions, from the Realty Rates.com Investor Survey — Third
Quarter 2023 and from an analysis of comparable sales, it is determined the most favorable rate
and likely mortgage terms available to the subject property would be a loan -to -value ratio of
75% mortgage at an interest rate of 5% with an amortization period of 30 years and a term of
five to ten years.
From the Realty Rates.com Investor Survey — Third Quarter 2023, a cash flow rate of 10% is
estimated to be sufficient to attract equity funds to this type of investment. While the equity
dividend rate appears low, the eventual equity yield rate through operational leverage and
appreciation should be commensurate with alternate investments.
Overall Rates From Investor Surveys
The Realty Rates.com Investor Survey — Third Quarter 2023 indicates overall rates for
restaurants -full service ranging from 8.64% to 17.39%, with the average being 14.18%.
Conclusion
Based on the above sources, considering that the property is leased to local tenants with average
credit ratings, a capitalization rate of 7.0% is considered appropriate for the income stream of the
subject property.

3.5.b
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH TO VALUE
This approach to value is a technique in which the Market Value estimate is predicated upon
prices paid in actual market transactions of similar properties. These similar, or comparable,
transactions (sales) are adjusted to indicate a value to the subject.
The Sales Comparison Approach is a process of analyzing sales of similar recently sold
properties in order to derive an indication of the most probable sales price of the property being
appraised. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon the availability of comparable sales
data, the verification of the sales data, the degree of comparability and the absence of non -typical
conditions affecting the sale.
The following pages contain sales of similar restaurant properties which have recently sold.
Several other sales are considered, but are not included because there is too wide a difference in
physical factors, location and time.
In this approach to value, one unit of comparison is considered: the price paid per square foot of
building area.
A photograph of each sale, a detailed profile of each sale, a summary of the sales, a sales map
and a value conclusion follows herein.

ANALYSIS OF IMPROVED SALES
The sales range in unit price from $418.70 to $748.11 per square foot of building area. The sales
range in time from April of 2022 to July of 2023.
Property Rights
The fee simple interest is the property right of the subject property being valued. The comparable
sales involved the same type or similar of property rights.
Conditions of Sale
All of the sales were arm's-length transactions. An arm's-length transaction is defined as a
transaction freely arrived at in the open market unaffected by abnormal pressure or by the
absence of normal competitive negotiation as might be true in the case of a transaction between
related parties.
Financing
The sales were financed with cash or purchase money mortgages or conventional first mortgages
at market interest rates. The financing of the sales does not indicate any adjustments of the sale
prices for favorable/below market financing.
Date of Sale (Market Conditions)
The sales range in time from April of 2022 to July of 2023. The sales do not indicate a
significant change in prices over this time period in this market area.
Location
The subject property is located in the Overtown district of Miami. The sale properties are located
in suburban locations in Miami -Dade County, within a 43/4 mile radius of the subject.
The Sale 1 property fronts on a secondary traffic artery. The exposure of the Sale 1 property is
inferior to the exposure of the subject property. The location of the Sale 1 property is considered
inferior to the location of the subject. The unit price of Sale 1 requires upward adjustment for an
inferior location.
Building Size
The subject building has an adjusted building size of 3,960 square feet. The sale properties range
building area from 1,194 to 2,946 square feet. The building size of the subject property is
slightly above the range of the building sizes of the sale properties. An analysis of the sales
indicates no difference in unit price based on building size.
QUINLIVANAPPRAISAL
Packet Pg. 198
3.5.b
Building Age/Condition

were built between 1937 and 1990 and are in average condition. The building ages and
conditions of the sale properties are considered similar to the age and condition of the subject
property.
Land -to -building Ratio
The subject property has a land -to -building ratio of 5.7:1. The land -to -building ratios of the sale
properties range from 1.8:1 to 5.9:1. A comparison of the unit prices of the sales indicates no
difference in price based on land -to -building ratio.
Conclusion

RECONCILIATION AND VALUE CONCLUSION
The reconciliation of the data and indicated value estimates is the final step in the appraisal
process. Sufficient data has been assembled and analyzed for the purpose of judging the
reactions of typical purchasers in the market place.
In this report, the three accepted appraisal techniques are considered. The value estimates
indicated by these approaches resulted in the following:
Cost Approach to Value Not applicable
Income Approach to Value $3,415,000
Sales Comparison Approach to Value $3,445,000
Cost Approach to Value
The Cost Approach has the most applicability and will generally result in a truer estimate of
value when the building improvements are new and accrued depreciation need not be estimated.
Since the age of the subject building is 29 years, a large degree of judgment would be required to
estimate the effective age and depreciation of the buildings
Considering the above factors, the value indication from the Cost Approach is not considered
applicable for the valuation of the subject property.
Income Approach to Value
The data in this approach as to the quality, quantity and durability of the income was considered
fair. The property is unoccupied. Contract rents from the subject property were not available to
assist in estimating the market rent for the property. The market income of the property was
estimated based on comparable properties. The expenses were estimated based on the operation
of the subject and on comparable properties. The net income was capitalized by means of a direct
capitalization method with an overall rate.
Since the subject property is unoccupied, the value indication by the Income Approach to value
is given secondary emphasis in the final analysis.
Sales Comparison Approach to Value
In reference to the Sales Comparison Approach, consideration has been given to sales that have
taken place in the real estate market. These sales are analyzed and adjusted to the subject to
reflect a market value estimate of the subject.
The quality of the market sales in this approach to value is considered good. The sales are
similar properties located in Miami -Dade County.
Considering the quality of these sales, this approach to value is given primary emphasis in the
final analysis.

Final Conclusion
In the reconciliation process, the greatest weight should be given to the approach or approaches
which produce the highest degree of confidence and which has been processed with a minimum
of assumptions. Of equal importance is the reasonableness of the data and the reliability of the
data.
In consideration of the above, and for the reasons and conclusions contained herein, the Market
Value of the subject property as of September 7, 2023 was estimated at:

About Hampton Art Lovers (HAL)
Hampton Art Lovers' mission is to accentuate African -American Fine Art's inspirational unifying
and enriching aspects in new and old settings. We are passionate supporters of
Hampton University's longstanding commitment to African -American art, the
Hampton University Museum Collection, and the International Review of
African Americans (Published by the University since 1976).
HAMPTONART LOVERS Hampton Art Lovers honors the heart and soul of African -American fine artists
and makes their work discoverable by anyone who loves art. Hampton Art
Lovers believes that understanding culture is increasingly vital in the modern world. We live in a
knowledge economy where demonetization is rampant. It is a world in which technology can
render previously expensive and/or inaccessible products and services much cheaper or even
free. Intense, experiential learning is the currency of the knowledge economy and lovers of art
do this naturally. Hampton Art Lovers believes that through culture and education, we can
improve our communities and communities worldwide.
Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery
Since 2018, Hampton Art Lovers has been the proud operator of the Historic Ward Rooming
House Gallery, owned by the S.E. Overtown / Park West CRA and the centerpiece of the Historic
Overtown Culture Entertainment District Master Plan. Built in the era of Overtown's historic
heyday, when it was known as "Colored Town," the Ward Rooming House stands as a tribute to
the history of the oldest historic black community in the City of Miami. Its location on NW 9th
Street integrated it into the epicenter of Overtown's social life and business district. As one of

the few remaining buildings of its time, a seemingly ordinary rooming house becomes significant
for the larger role it serves in preserving the history and architecture of Miami's black
community. The future of the Ward Rooming House looks promising because it is included in
current Overtown preservation efforts for community development and rehabilitation.
HAL/CRA Partnership
Our partnership began fully in November 2018, with our Elizabeth Catlett show at the Ward and
the Ernie Barnes Show at the OPAC (Art Basel 2018). We then extended the partnership through
Black History Month. Based on the successes that followed, we mutually decided that a
year -long partnership was sustainable. Today, we are thankful for your investment in HAL to
provide culture and programming at the Ward Rooming House.
Our capacity has grown and we've shown results, we used your dollars wisely. We have been
covered numerous times by the Miami Herald, Miami Times, and National Media. We've hosted
national personalities like Author and Professor Michael Eric Dyson and the General President of
Alpha Phi Alpha and Chairman of the Council of Presidents of the National Pan -Hellenic Council,
Dr. Everett Ward. Our exhibitions included the HAL-curated show of the private art collection of
Maya Angelou.
Our programming engages many facets of our community. We've created strategic partnerships
with community -based organizations and corporate partnerships showcasing the Ward Rooming
House Gallery as a place where all are welcome. Hampton Art Lovers engages the community
through the arts. We are a traditional gallery but we also make the effort to develop shows
purely for exhibition. We have a public and a private mission which makes our relationship with
the CRA the quintessential public/private partnership.
So many people have visited the gallery and by doing so are reintroduced to Overtown, and its
resurgent development led by your agency. These partnerships helped to stretch your
investments. We've produced six shows plus our Art Basel Fair (Point Comfort). Although our
grant last year only required four shows, we wanted to do more and we did so within budget.
CRA Grant Alignment
The Art and Culture Grant is designed to assist service providers in helping to promote, explore,
and preserve the unique and historical socio-cultural value of the Redevelopment Area.
Hampton Art Lovers @ the Historic Ward Rooming House has been at the forefront of this
mission.
CRA Program Goals:
• Preserve Historic Buildings and Community Heritage; The 2018 SEOPW CRA
Redevelopment Plan has a strong emphasis on preserving historic buildings and
community heritage. Hampton Art Lovers has become the de facto visitor's center for
Historic Overtown. It was not our goal to do this, but we embrace the opportunity to tell
the story of Overtown to all who will listen. Our programming preserves the historic
nature of our building and the Overtown community at -large.
• Expand the Tax Base using Public -Private Principles: The 2018 SEOPW CRA
Redevelopment Plan envisions an expansion of the tax base. Our events bring new
visitors to the Redevelopment area and the Overtown Culture and Entertainment
district. These visitors routinely frequent other establishments and create an economy
for other businesses. More importantly, current redevelopment projects ie. Block 55
needs thriving arts and entertainment for its new residents.

3.6.c
• Create Jobs within the Community: All of our events are staffed by RedNop
Management Group LLC, a hospitality services company specializing in Customer Service
Training and Consulting.. In partnership with HAL, we've assisted them in developing
their model of training youth in the hospitality business. Red Nop's "Future Leaders in
Hospitality and Tourism" (FLHAT) introduces youth and young adults, between the ages
of 13-20 who live in Overtown and Liberty City, to the economic power and the
possibilities within the tourism and hospitality industry. The program Includes interactive
small group training sessions with guest presenters, activities, and instructional
workshops to develop their communication, critical thinking, decision -making,
problem -solving, and organizational skills. The program also employs the participants to
work Hampton Art Lovers events.
• Promote and Market the Community as a Cultural and Entertainment Destination:
Christopher Norwood of Hampton Art Lovers was recently honored by the Knight
Foundation as the 2022-2023 "Arts Champion", for his work at the Historic Ward
Rooming House. Our events bring new visitors to the Redevelopment area and the
Overtown Culture and Entertainment district. These visitors routinely frequent other
establishments and create an economy for other businesses.
• Improve the Quality of Life for Residents: All of our events are always free and open to
the public. We provide museum -quality art exhibitions that provide cultural
entertainment for the Overtown community. Research has shown that people often find
it difficult to access the arts and culture where they live. Arts and cultural activities are
the fourth most difficult urban amenity to access nationally, after affordable housing,
public transit, and job opportunities. See Knight Foundation report @
https://knightfoundation.org/reports/community-ties-understanding-what-attaches-peo
ple-to-the-place-where-they-live/
• Foster Safe Community Initiatives: Our gallery is one of the only businesses open during
the day and night in the Overtown Entertainment and Business District. In so doing we
activate this community which repels criminal activities. This is a critical piece of the
2018 SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Plan, promoting safe neighborhoods.
CRA Grant Criteria
HAL is compatible with development plan(s) and guidelines of SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Plan:
At a time of near -constant residential development in some of America's most populous cities,
new projects must go above and beyond to stand out from the pack. A popular method? Aligning
themselves with art and local galleries. This goes beyond curating a set of photographs in a
tower's lobby —developers are commissioning site -specific works by notable artists, and working
with local galleries to enhance their residents' neighborhood experiences. Art and culture have
long been associated with the development of America's towns and cities and the rich diversity
and evolution of neighborhoods and communities. Art and culture are, in fact, often used to help
revitalize and improve the economies of inner cities, suburbs, and rural areas. The arts help
develop self-esteem in youth and improve test scores; they have been shown to lower crime
rates; they create jobs and attract businesses; and they define communities and attract cultural
tourists. (Strom, Elizabeth. 2001. Strengthening communities through culture (Art, Culture and
the National Agenda Issue Paper). Center for Arts and Culture).
o The Block 55 development project is currently under construction. Block 55 is a
3.44-acre previously vacant property on SEOPW CRA-provided land at 249 NW
6th Street, adjacent to Downtown Miami and a block away from the Historic

Ward Rooming House Gallery.. The proposed mixed -use development will
comprise 578 affordable residential units, half of which will target families
earning less than 50% of the area median income ("AMI"). The other half will
target low-income families between 50% AMI and 80% AMI. Additionally, the
project will include 250,000 square feet (about twice the area of a Manhattan
city block) of retail/restaurant/office and entertainment space, along with a
parking garage for 925 cars. HAL will work with the developer (with the
assistance of the CRA) to develop programming that appeals to their residents
and businesses. Our goal is to be a cultural partner of BLOCK 55.
o SOLESTE GRAND CENTRAL This new development project was completed in June
of 2021. Soleste Grand Central is located on SEOPW CRA-provided land at 218
N.W. 8th Street, a block away from the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery.
The property has a mixed -income housing concept which includes market rate,
workforce, and affordable housing units. This $110 million project brings Class A
rental apartments to Overtown, near Brightline's Miami Central hub. Soleste
Grand Central includes 360 apartments, 80 of which are affordable, with 6,500
square feet of retail and 2,250 square feet of office space in the redevelopment
area. HAL will work with the developer (with the assistance of the CRA) to
develop programming that appeals to their residents and businesses. Our goal is
to be a cultural partner of BLOCK 55.
Federal Reserve Bank : Art and Community Development
In November 2019, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco published a second, seminal
journal issue of their Community Development Innovation Review entirely dedicated to the
question of what changes when we invite arts and cultural strategies into the practice of
community development. In their article on Creating Process for Change, the Center for
Performance and Civic Practices provides this logic for doing so.
If place is geography bound by shared meanings,
if place plus time equals change,
what does change do to meaning?
How is meaning shaped? By whom? For whom?
Artists keep, make, and transform meaning. It is what they do. Their relationship to place, in
addition to inhabiting it, is to see it and listen to it. Whether intentionally or not, every creative
act, every moment of imagination and expression in a place, contributes to that place's shape.
HAL/FIU Wolfsonian Partnership
In the past year, our formal partnership with Florida International University's Wolfsonian
Museum's Public Humanities Lab has grown exponentially. They saw value in our work based on
the innovative strategies we've developed to engage the community. This WPHL collaboration
with the Hampton Art Lovers and Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery began with four Story
Gathering Saturdays, held from August to October 2021. These community events collected and
preserved oral histories of Black families and the Great Migration, which echoed and
complemented our curated exhibition, "One Way Ticket: Movement, Migrations. and Liberty."

Point Comfort Art Fair (2022)
Hampton Art Lovers (HAL) presented its 4th installment of its Miami Art Week/Art Basel/Soul
Basel art fair and show in 2022, during Art Basel and Miami Art Week. Point Comfort Art Fair +
Show was held at the Historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, in Historic Overtown, Miami. The
art show was held inside the gallery and the art fair behind the gallery in a fully enclosed,
controlled tent. Point Comfort showcased the works of contemporary and appreciated artists.
On display in the gallery and in a temperature -controlled tent attached to Historic Ward Rooming
House. The Art Fair also hosted events, including our Indaba Artists Conversations, Music, and
Cultural Nightlife Events. Point Comfort was an enormous success and community -driven with
free access to residents. We partnered with B.E.T (Black Entertainment Television), Duke & Dame
Spirits, Alpha Phi Alpha Sorority, Wilkie D. Ferguson Bar Association, Florida International
University / Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab, and Florida New Majority; just to name a few of
our corporate and community partners.
We are a proud partner of Soul Basel. Soul Basel was formed to ensure that Black Art and
Culture have a place and a home in Miami during Art Basel/Miami Art Week. Soul Basel is
centered in Overtown and sponsored and supported by the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA) and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors
Bureau (GMCVB) Art of Black Miami.
The name "Point Comfort" is derived from the place in colonial Virginia where the first captives
from the West African Kingdom of Ndongo (Angola) arrived in late August 1619. History teaches
us that although the people of Ndongo and other African tribes lost their native tongues, many
of their traditions continue in the song, dance, arts, rituals, and cuisine of today's
African -American community. "Point Comfort Art Fair + Show" celebrates these remnants. We
are thankful for what has survived and we showcase the African -American contributions to
American fine art it has produced.
