2.1 RELIANCE
This report was prepared for and may be relied upon by Florida Retail Development, LLC, and
Midland Loan Services, Inc. its successors with respect to any loans placed upon the property
described in the report. Any rating agency or issuer or purchaser of any security collateralized
or otherwise backed by such loans may further rely upon the reports. We also consent to the
inclusion of this report in any form, whether in paper or digital format, including any electronic
media such as CD-ROM or the internet, in the Prospectus Supplement relating to any
“Securitization” (defined as an offering of debt securities that, as applicable, are registered with
the Securities Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), or are privately placed pursuant to an exemption from the Act, in which the property
reported upon may be part of a pool of properties owned by various non-affiliated owners
collateralizing such offering), and we consent to the reference to our firm under the caption
“Experts” in such Prospectus Supplement.
Any such unauthorized reliance on or use of this report, including any of its information or
conclusions, will be at the third party's risk. For the same reasons, no warranties or
representations, expressed or implied in this report, are made to any such third party.
The methodologies include reviewing information provided by other sources. PSI treats
information obtained from the record reviews and interviews concerning the property as reliable
and the ASTM guide does not require PSI to independently verify the information. Therefore,
PSI cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that the information provided by these other
sources is accurate or complete.
2.4 QUALIFICATIONS
Our services were not intended to be technically exhaustive. There is a possibility that even
with proper application of methodologies, conditions may exist on the property that could not be
identified within the scope of the assessment(s) or that were not reasonably identifiable from the
available information.
PSI did not gain access to all areas, perform any exploratory probing or discovery, perform
tests, operate any specific equipment or take measurements or samples. The PCA was not a
building code, safety, regulatory or environmental compliance inspection.
No PCA can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding repair and maintenance needs in connection
with the property. The PCA was intended to reduce, but not eliminate uncertainty regarding
such needs.
The observations and recommendations presented in this report are time dependent, and
conditions will change. This report speaks only as of its date.
As directed by the Florida Retail Development, LLC for this PCA, PSI performed a limited
assessment for the presence of visible mold. The assessment did investigate other biological
contaminants in or around any structure, and our service was not designed or intended to
prevent or lower the risk of the occurrence of the amplification of the same. Client
acknowledges that mold is ubiquitous to the environment with mold amplification occurring when
building materials are impacted by moisture. Client further acknowledges that site conditions
are outside of PSI's control, and that mold amplification will likely occur, or continue to occur, in
the presence of moisture. As such, PSI cannot and shall not be held responsible for the
occurrence or recurrence of mold amplification.

4.2 METHODOLOGY
4.2.1 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT
• Developing Opinions of Probable Costs (Opinions of Cost) associated with the remedies.
WALK-THROUGH SURVEY
Mr. Henry F. Holman, Jr. and Mr. Darrell Jacobs PSI employees from our PSI Orlando, office
conducted the walk-through survey on February 24, 2005. Our observers were escorted by Mr.
Jim Casey during our survey.
The walk-through survey consisted of observing obvious, easily visible items from the periphery
of the property and from accessible adjacent public thoroughfares, as well as representative
portions of the property's interior and building systems. These items were conspicuous, patent,
and which may be observed without intrusion, removal of materials, exploratory probing, use of
special protective clothing, or use of special equipment.
RESEARCH
PSI reviewed pertinent portions of practically reviewable documents. In addition, the PCA
normally includes interviews with persons knowledgeable about the site. Sources information
that PSI reviewed are listed in the subsequent section of this report.
ESTIMATION OF CONDITION
PSI used its experience and judgment to evaluate items observed and assigns a condition
assessment to them. The condition descriptions used in this report are described below:
• Good: Component or system is sound and performing its function. Although it may
show signs of normal wear and tear, commensurate with its age, some minor remedial
work may be required.
• Fair: Component or system is performing adequately at this time but: exhibits deferred
maintenance, evidence of previous repairs, workmanship not in compliance with
commonly accepted standards, is obsolete, or is approaching the end of its typical
expected useful life. Repair or replacement is required to prevent further deterioration,
restore it to good condition, prevent premature failure, or to prolong its remaining useful
life. Component or system exhibits an inherent deficiency of which the cost to remedy is
not commensurate with the deficiency but that is best remedied by a program of
increased preventive maintenance or periodic repairs.
• Poor: Component or system has either failed or cannot be relied upon to continue
performing its original function as a result of having realized or exceeded its typical
expected useful life, excessive deferred maintenance, a state of disrepair, and inherent
design deficiency or workmanship. Present condition could contribute or cause the
deterioration of contiguous elements or systems. Repair or replacement is required.
It should be noted that a condition term applied overall to a system does not preclude that a
part, section, or component of the system may differ in condition. The items will also be
affected by circumstances that occur after the date of the walk-through survey.
ESTIMATION OF AGE
PSI used information gathered about the property to estimate the Expected Useful Life (EUL)
and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of items observed. The use of these terms in this report is
described below:
• Expected Useful Life (EUL): an estimate of the average amount of time, in years, that in
item, component of system may function when installed new, assuming routine
maintenance is practiced
• Remaining Useful Life (RUL): a subjective estimate of the number of remaining years
that an item, component or system is able to function in accordance with is intended
ESTIMATION OF QUANTITIES
PSI used the information gathered to estimate quantities of items or materials exhibiting similar
conditions or characteristics. These estimates are not exact and were used to understand the
magnitude of the representative conditions.
RECOMMENDED REMEDIES
PSI used information and the estimated age to develop a list of recommended remedies or
Physical Needs for the property. PSI segregated the needs into two categories:
• Immediate Needs: Items that require immediate action as a result of any of the
following:
• Needs Over-the-Term: Items requiring repair and replacement which are beyond the
scope of regular maintenance, but which are considered necessary to maintain the
overall condition of the property.
PSI developed Opinions of Probable Cost (Opinions of Cost) for the recommended remedies.
PSI developed the costs using a combination of sources, typically including one or more of the
following:
The Opinions of Cost are preliminary budgets for the need or remedy. The actual cost of
recommended repairs will likely vary based on such factors as the amount of or work competed
at one time, the quality of material used, the quality of workmanship as well as amount of work
which may be accomplished by qualified and capable in house maintenance staff.
Note that our assessment does not identify minor, inexpensive repairs or maintenance items
that are clearly part of the property owner’s current operating budget so long as these items
appear to be taken care of on a regular basis. The assessment does include infrequently
occurring maintenance items, such as exterior paint, deferred maintenance repairs and
replacements that normally involve significant expense or outside contracting.
Our Opinions of Cost are presented on the Needs Over-the-Term spreadsheet that is appended
to this report.

Physical Obstructions to Observations
Other
• Most spaces had acoustical ceilings limiting observations of the structure.
• Extrapolation - PSI extrapolated observations and findings actually made to all typical
areas or systems of the subject property for the purposes of describing such condition
within the report and preparing opinions of probable costs for suggested remedies.
• Regulatory Information - PSI considers all other information obtained from regulatory or
enforcement agencies, such as building departments, to be complete, accurate and
current.
The property consists of a 4 story building constructed in 1984 located west of interstate 4. The
site is paved with asphalt and can be accessed from a two uncontrolled entrances from Lucien
Way and a single entrance from Lake Destiny Road. Surface parking is generally located to the
north, west and south of the building. There are retention ponds with fountains on the east and
west sides of the building. The buildings are equipped with fire sprinkler systems. The interiors
are painted gypsum board walls, acoustical ceilings and carpet or VCT flooring.
The site is relatively flat with minimal sloping away from the building. The property
perimeter and drive lanes are sloped to drop inlets throughout the site. The site occupies a
reported 4.117 acres. The site has two uncontrolled entrance from Lucien Way to the north
and one from Lake Destiny Road to the east. Landscaping at the site consists of mature
trees, areas with turf grass and shrubs. There are wet retention ponds on the east and
west sides of the building with fountains. There is an irrigation system with a well located at
the northwest corner of the building. There is wood fencing around the dumpster and
emergency generator areas that are located on the west side of the site.
The asphalt pavement to the west north and south of the buildings primarily slopes slightly
to drop inlets that provide the primary drainage for the site. The inlets are routed to
retention areas located on the east and west sides of the building prior to entering the
municipal system. There is also a drainage swale located at Lake Destiny Road and
Lucien Way. The retention ponds have fountains and the water level is maintained by
the irrigation system’s well.
• Investigate drainage at the pot hole area west of the emergency generator.
No Physical Needs Over-the-Term were observed or reported at the time of our walk-
through.
The building has concrete walkways from the building to the parking areas. Concrete
parking curbs, island areas and light pole bases also exist on the site. The emergency
generator and fuel tank are located in a fenced area on the west side of the building, and
the dumpster enclosure is located on the southwest corner of the site. These areas
have concrete pads that the equipment rest upon. There is also a concrete pad for the
electrical transformer on the west side of the building.
5.2.4 PAVEMENT
Asphalt pavement is located at the parking/drive areas on the west, south and north side
of the building. There is a circular landscape area at the main (north) entrance to the
property. The asphalt pavement areas at this site contain approximately 8,000 square
yards.
5.2.5 PARKING
There appears to be adequate parking at the site. The site contains 210 surface parking
spaces around the building with two being handicap accessible. The parking areas are
illuminated by metal halide pole mounted lights.
No Recommended Immediate Needs were observed or reported at the time of our walk-
through.
The original construction drawings were available for review and the foundations
consist of shallow foundations which consist of piers at columns and thickened slabs at
load bearing locations such as elevator shafts and equipment rooms. The building’s
floor is a 4-inch reinforced concrete slab on grade.
5.3.2 STRUCTURE
The buildings structure is reinforced concrete and steel construction. The roof and floor
slabs of the building have a metal deck supported by steel joists and a rigid frame. The
The building has a glass and metal frame EIFS curtain wall system that has isolated
areas with split faced CMU walls. The windows are tinted single pane glass.
No Recommended Immediate Needs were observed or reported at the time of our walk-
through.
5.3.4 DOORS/WINDOWS
The entry doors to the building are aluminum framed glass store front doors that match
the window mullions. Hollow core steel doors in steel frames are generally located at
the exterior service entrances, interior storage and restrooms. The interior doors to
tenant spaces are solid wood in metal frames. The windows in the building are single
pane tinted windows. The entrances have canopies that provide protection from the
elements.
5.4 ROOF
The roof of the building is an aggregate surface built-up roof. The roof has interior
drains and through wall emergency scuppers. The roof is accessed through the south
stair well. There is an approximate 3-foot high parapet wall that surrounds the roof
that is covered with EIFS. The roofing terminates under a stainless steel “Z” flashing
approximately 6-inches up the parapet wall. The roof is approximately 16,479 square
feet.
Roof drainage is accomplished by the roof having a low slope to internal drains that
are routed into the sites storm water system. Emergency drainage is accomplished by
through wall scuppers located at the parapet wall (one per side of the building).
The rooftop equipment and penetrations observed included HVAC unit supports, roof
drains, pitch pans, HVAC lines and vent pipes.
The parapet walls are generally flashed with a granulated surface cap sheet
terminating under a stainless steel “Z” flashing. Roof accessories are also flashed with
either a continuation of the field membrane or the granulated cap sheet and metal
counter flashings.

Building areas are provided conditioned air by roof mounted electrical package HVAC
units for the fourth floor and an air cooled chilled water system for the first through third
floors. The chilled water is supplied to an air handler on each floor as well as VAV
boxes throughout the space. The VAV boxes provide adjustments to the air
temperature by increasing or decreasing air flow only according to the maintenance
supervisor. The unit model and serial numbers are listed below:
No Recommended Immediate Needs were observed or reported at the time of our walk-
through.
Progress Energy Florida, Inc supplies electrical power to the building. The electricity is
fed underground from pole mounted transformers at Lucien Way underground to a pad
mounted transformer at the west side of the building to the main switch gear. The
electrical service is 408/277 volt, three phase, 4 wire service at 1,000 amps.
Site lighting is provided by ground and building mounted HID accent lighting and pole
mounted HID lights on approximately 20 foot poles. The lights are reportedly on a
timer. When observed at night the lighting is relatively poor due to the trees
throughout the parking areas. Management reported the trees are scheduled to be
trimmed in April 2005.
The typical supply piping for domestic water is copper. The sanitary sewer lines are
PVC and are routed to the north of Lucien Way. The plumbing fixtures for restroom
areas are of typical commercial grade vitreous china with associated hardware. The
majority of hardware is metal. Water service enters the west side of the building.
The hot water heaters are located at each floor and are 30 gallon electric units.
There are two hydraulic elevators manufactured by Dover Elevator. The elevators
have a capacity of 2,500 pounds and are serviced by Thyssen Krupp. The service
contract reportedly includes parts and service except for emergency service calls.
No Recommended Immediate Needs or Physical Needs over the term were observed
or reported at the time of our walk-through.
The buildings are equipped with wet pipe sprinkler systems. Flow alarms and a
backflow preventor are located at the building. The building has a fire alarm panel.
Fire extinguishes and hose connections are located throughout the building and there
are fire hydrants throughout the site. The fire panel is monitored off site and notifies
the fire department in the event of an emergency. There is an emergency fire pump in
the ground level mechanical room. The fire pump has a 50 HP motor and operates at
750 GPM at 85 PSI.
Lighted exit signs mark the emergency exits and emergency lights are located at the
entrance. Smoke detectors were evident. There were audible and visual alarms. The
emergency generator supplies electricity to the life safety systems and the fire alarms.
The property has a security system consisting of an alarm system with code access for
after hours entry. Security cameras are located at all entrances to the building and the
building is unlocked at 7:00 AM and locked at 6:00 PM.
The building interior finishes include painted gypsum wallboard, vinyl wall paper at
hallways, acoustical ceilings, and fluorescent lighting. Floor finishes vary between
vinyl composition tile, ceramic and marble tile and carpet.
6.1.1 BACKGROUND
The Americans with Disabilities Act, (ADA) is a Federal Law effective on January 26,
1992. As defined under Title III of the ADA, existing facilities considered to be “public
accommodations” must take steps to remove architectural and communication barriers
that are deemed “readily achievable” under the retroactive requirements.
This assessment included a limited review of the “common” exterior path of travel area
of the property. Significant item of non-conformance were noted without regard as to
whether or not they are “readily achievable.” Factors to be considered in determining
whether or not an action is readily achievable include the nature and cost of the action,
the number of person employees at the subject property and the financial resources
available of ownership. The decision as to which action are to be undertaken as
readily achievable is to be determined by building owner in consultation with its
accountants attorneys and design/ construction professionals. PSI recommends a full
scale ADA survey to be performed if addition adapt is required.
6.1.3 RESULTS
The site currently contains two surface ADA accessible parking spaces of which none
which are not designated as “Van Accessible”. The accessible entrance is located on
the south side of the building; however there is no signage directing persons to the
accessible entrance. There were 210 parking spaces counted. The sidewalk to the
buildings entrance and existing curb ramps appear to comply. The restrooms at the
building are located beside the elevators and were observed to be generally compliant.
The entrance doors appear to meet ADA requirements.
The limited mold assessment that PSI performed consisted of looking for indications of
mold growth and indications of water intrusion and accumulation conspicuously visible
within the during our walk-through buildings.
6.2.2 RESULTS
The microbial growth and mold evaluation performed pursuant to the scope of this
assessment found no indications of mold growth. We did observe areas with staining
from moisture intrusion due to prior roof leaks.
Management and maintenance did not report any current areas of known microbial
growth or mold. It was also reported that all prior roof leaks were repaired. Musty or
stale odors were present during our initial entry into the building during our
walkthrough; however we observed no evidence of mold growth.
PSI did not perform a seismic evaluation of the property because it is not located in
Zones 4/Alpha as defined by the Uniform Building Code (1997) and International
Building Code (2000) respectively. These zones are areas of high probability of
damaging ground motion in earthquakes.
