EFTA00787775 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION The subject property consists of a fully developed marina currently operating os American Yacht Harbor & Marina, as well as 47,344 square feet of retail and office space situated on the landside portion of the site. The subject's street address is 6100 Red Hook Quarters #2, in St. Thomas, USVI. OWNERSHIP AND PROPERTY HISTORY Title to the upland portion of the property is currently vested in the name of IGY-AYH St. Thomas Holdings, LLC, who acquired title to the property in January 2007, os recorded in the St. Thomas/St. Johns Deed Records. The submerged land is currently under the ownership of the Coastal Zone Management Commission and leased to IGY-AYH St. Thomas Holdings, LLC through September 14, 2010 via an assignment under a Coastal Zone Management Permit (CZM). The current lease began on September, 2000 with a ten year term. Renewal of the CZM permits is not prohibitive and will likely be granted upon expiration of the current permit. The total consideration for the January 2007 transaction was $25,500,000. The subject was part of a larger purchase of four marinas properties in the Caribbean. The seller was Sun Resorts, which owned the subject outright and various interests in the other three marinas. The sale price is slightly higher than our value estimate, which could be the result of allocated costs of the portfolio sale. Other than that noted herein, there hos been no other ownership transfer of the property during the previous three years. As of the dote of value, the subject is not being marketed for sale. RELEVANT DATES The following table illustrates the various dotes associated with the valuation of the subject property: RELEVANT DATES Date of Report: Date of Inspection: Date of Value As Is June 30, 2007 June 19, 2007 June 19, 2007 Compiled by CBRE PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the leasehold interest in the subject property. The current economic definition agreed upon by agencies that regulate federal financial institutions in the U.S. (and used herein) is as follows: 1 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787776 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION The most probable price which o property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sole, 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 dote and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: 1. buyer and seller are typically motivated; 2. both parties ore well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests; 3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; 4. payment is made in terms of cosh in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sole. PREMISE OF THE APPRAISAL The premise of this appraisal valuation is "as is" and leased fee/leasehold interest on the dote of value. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS The Glossary of Terms in the Addenda provides definitions for terms that ore, and may be used in this appraisal. INTENDED USE AND USER OF REPORT This appraisal is to be used for internal decision making by the client, Banco Popular Virgin Islands. PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED The interest appraised represents the leased fee/leasehold estate. SCOPE OF WORK 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: • Client • Intended use • Intended user • Type of opinion Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), 12 CFR Pall 34, Subpart C - Appraisals, 34.42 (g); Office of Thrih Supervision (OTS), 12 CFR 564.2 (g); Appraisal Institute, The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2002), 177-178. This is also compatible with the RTC, FDIC, FRS and NCUA definitions of market value as well as the example referenced in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). 2 (6) 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787777 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION • Effective dote of opinion • Relevant characteristics about the subject • Assignment conditions This appraisal of the subject has been presented in the form of a Self-Contained Appraisal Report, which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of USPAP. That is, this report incorporates, to the fullest extent possible, practical explanation of the data, reasoning and analysis that were used to develop the opinion of value. This report also includes thorough descriptions of the subject and the market for the property type. CBRE completed the following steps for this assignment: Extent to Which the Property is Identified CBRE collected the relevant information about the subject from the owner (or representatives), public records and through an inspection of the subject. The property was legally identified through its postal address, assessor's records and legal description. Economic characteristics of the subject were identified via an analysis of a recent rent roll for both the marina and retail/office space and historical operating statements. Extent to Which the Property is Inspected CBRE inspected both the interior and exterior of the subject, os well as its surrounding environs on the effective date of appraisal. Type and Extent of the Data Researched CBRE reviewed the micro and/or macro market environments with respect to physical and economic factors relevant to the valuation process. This process included interviews with regional and/or local market participants, available published data, and other various resources. CBRE also conducted regional and/or local research with respect to applicable tax data, zoning requirements, flood zone status, demographics, income and expense data, and comparable listing, sale and rental information. Type and Extent of Analysis Applied CBRE analyzed the data gathered through the use of appropriate and accepted appraisal methodology to arrive at a probable value indication via each applicable approach to value. Approaches to value used include the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Approach. The steps required to complete each approach are discussed in the methodology section. CBRE then correlated and reconciled the results into a reasonable and defensible value conclusion, as defined herein. A reasonable exposure time and marketing time associated with the value estimate presented hos also been concluded. 3 O 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787778 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION SPECIAL APPRAISAL INSTRUCTIONS There have been no special appraisal instructions for this assignment. EXPOSURE/MARKETING TIME Current appraisal guidelines require an estimate of a reasonable time period in which the subject property could be brought to market and sold. This reasonable time frame can either be examined historically or prospectively. In a historic analysis, this is referred to as exposure time. Exposure time always precedes the date of value, with the underlying premise being the time a property would have been on the market prior to the date of value, such that it would sell at its appraised value as of the date of value. On a prospective basis, the term marketing time is most often used. The exposure/marketing time is a function of price, time, and use. It is not an isolated estimate of time alone. It is different for various types of real estate and under various market conditions. A discussion of an appropriate exposure/marketing time estimate for the subject properly is presented in the following sections. In consideration of these factors, we have analyzed the following: • exposure periods for comparable sales used in this appraisal; • marketing time information from the CBRE National Investor Survey; and • the opinions of market participants. The following table presents the information derived from these sources. EXPOSURE TIME INFORMATION Data Source Exposure Time (Months) Range Average Strip Centers Class A Class B Class C Local Market Professionals CBRE Estimate 3.0 6.0 6.0 3.0 - 12.0 6.6 - 12.0 7.8 - 12.0 9.0 - 9.0 6.0 9 Months Source: CBRE National Investor Survey The CBRE Notional Investor Survey does not have a classification for marinas; therefore we have chosen the asset class most similar to the ownership position in the subject site. In addition to the survey data, we have also reviewed the assumptions and conclusions reached in the Valuation section of this report, particularly the income estimates and rotes of return. Based on these analyses, we hove concluded an exposure/marketing time of 9 months or less would be considered reasonable for the subject property. 4 O2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787779 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION This exposure/marketing time reflects current economic conditions, current real estate investment market conditions, the terms and availability of financing for real estate acquisitions, and property and market-specific factors. It assumes that the subject property is (or has been) actively and professionally marketed. The marketing/exposure time would apply to all valuation premises included in this report. 5 O 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc.

EFTA00787784 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA AREA ANALYSIS Urban Growth Trend St. Thomos had followed a sectorial urban growth trend. Most of the urban growth has followed government and military built infrastructure and tourist developments. There were a total of 24,030 housing units in Saint Thomas as of 2000. Of the total number of units, 23,083 were urban units and 947 rural units. About 81% of the units (19,458) were occupied and 19% were vacant (4,572). Of the occupied housing units about 41% (8,048) were owner occupied and about 59% (11,410) were rented units. The median age of the housing units is 25 years as of 2000. As the figures reveal Saint Thomas is predominantly a housing rental market. St. Thomos' retail and institutional activities have historically taken place around its traditional core towns. There are numerous standalone retail and office buildings within the Charlotte Amalie core urban center and along the principal roads and avenues. The Havensight commercial area and shops along the boulevards and alleys of the Charlotte Amalie district cater mostly the cruise ship tourist population. Red Hook hos two retail centers, American Yacht Harbor and Red Hook Plaza. Adjacent to the east side of the Red Hook Plaza is a new retail/office development under construction. This center is known as East End Plaza and will contain about 72,000 square feet of retail and office. According to the leasing agent, the center has secured two banks, several fast food restaurants and several economic groups moving from established business in Charlotte Amalie. Rents are quoted at $50 to $60 per square foot with a pass through of $5.00, excluding real estate taxes and insurance. The center has applied for an exemption of real estate taxes; however, it has not yet been granted. The leasing agent indicated pass-throughs would increase by $3.00 per square foot if the exemption is not granted. In general, real estate values and rents are expected to remain at the current levels, which is proportionate to the area economic growth. Rental rates hove not changed significantly in a number of years, although in centers in the Red Hook area, rents have increased as the area attracts more attention from businesses wanting to move from the central business district. Further, economic incentives offered to new developments, or developments planning significant capital improvements hos also had a positive effect on rental rate growth in Red Hook. 10 O 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc.

The immediate area surrounding the subject consists of the major commercial developments in Red Hook. The ferry dock for the connection to St. John is adjacent to the east line of the subject and is a major generator of tourist traffic for the area. The majority of the single-family residential development within a one mile radius of the subject may be described as rural homes in the $100,000 to over $1,000,000 price range for homes on the waterfront. The area is somewhat remote and interior subdivision roads ore one-lane asphalt paved facilities. The topography of the subject area is generally sloping, with numerous properties built with the terrain incorporated in to the design. Most of the single-family residences appear to hove been constructed over twenty years ago and are generally in average to good condition. GROWTH PATTERNS Growth patterns on the island generally follow the tourist industry and concentrate mainly in the Charlotte Amalie and Havensight areas, west of the subject. As mentioned, the Red Hook area houses one of the ferries used for inter-island transportation to and from St. Johns and Tortola, BVI. Cowpet Bay, just south of Red Hook is on upscale residential area featuring water views and frontage. In general, the growth patterns of St. Thomas are tied to the cruise lines and tourist, but also depend heavily on improvements made by the local government in terms of roads, utility services and other municipal services. There is limited vacant developable commercial land available; however, there appears to be ample vacant residential land. In most cases, the residential land is along the slopes of the mountains and is difficult to develop. Most sites that have been developed are developed with the improvements on the high side of the lot, affording the best views possible. ACCESS Primary access to the subject neighborhood is provided by Highwoy 30 to Highway 32. Highway 30 and Highway 32 are part of the circular highway around the island. The highway numbering changes several times as it traverses the island; however, Highway 30 is the southern most and busiest portion. Highwoy 30 provides access to and from the Cyril E. King Airport, Charlotte Amalie and Havensight, the predominant developments on the island. Highway 32 provides access to Red Hook and more or 12 O 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787787 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS less forms a circle from Highway 30 to the west as Highway 38 further north and west. For the most port, these highways are two lane asphalt paved facilities with no shoulder. The commute to the Charlotte Amalie Business District from the subject neighborhood is about thirty minutes. The drive to the Cyril E. King Airport takes about forty minutes. The airport provides service to American Airlines and several smaller airlines. CONCLUSION The neighborhood appears to be predominately rural residential in nature with the American Yacht Harbor and Red Hook Plaza, for the most part, comprising the commercial developments in the oreo. Many homes ore second homes for owners and most take advantage of the elevated views of the Caribbean Sea and the surrounding countryside. Smaller communities ore located to the west of Red Hook and comprise of older residential homes with free-standing commercial facilities were demand warrants. The subject property is o 2.12-acre landside site with a southerly view of the Vessup Boy. The view is unobstructed. Very little new development was noted in the immediate area; however, there is o new retail/office development under construction just east of the subject across Red Hook Rood (Highway 32). Red Hook's interior roads are one•lane asphalt paved, with some being grovel paved. In general, the immediate area is rural in nature with supporting facilities concentrated around the subject and the ferry docks. Property values appear to be relatively constant. 13 Ce) 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Mc. EFTA00787788 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR IS MARINA SITE ANALYSIS SITE MAP 14 :1e.,% 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc.

Pleasure District Source: Various sources compiled by CBRE LOCATION The subject is on the north side of the Vessup Bay, and the south side of Red Hook Road (Highway 32), adjacent to the west side of the St John/Tortola Ferry landing. The street address is 6100 Red Hook Quarters #2, Red Hook Quarter #2, USVI. ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER The Tax Assessor's parcel numbers for the upland portion of the subject are 1-07702-0134-00, 1- 07702-0133-00 and 1-07702-0135-00. The submerged portion of the subject is owned by the Coastal Zone Management Commission and is not subject to ad valorem taxes. Further, the landside or upland portion of the subject site is exempt from real estate taxes through December 31, 2001, as a result of an Economic Development Commission (EDC) tax exempt status. This status was granted based on the need for development of properties in the Red Hook area and granted to the subject property due to the renovations and upgrades to the improvements. According to the general manager, the exemption will likely be granted again upon the expiration of the current exemption; however, he indicated the exemption may not be 100%, but hos no way to determine the likely percentage of the exemption. Apparently the exemption will depend on the amount of capital improvements to the property and could conceivably remain at 100%. We have assumed the current exemption will be extended at the current 100% exemption rate. LAND AREA The londside portion of the site contains 2.12 acres or 92,347 square feet of land. The submerged land contains 3.20 acres or 139,392 square feet and is adjacent to the southern boundary of the landside tract. There is no unusable, excess or surplus land area. 15 O 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787790 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA SITE ANALYSIS SHAPE AND FRONTAGE Both portions of the subject site are irregular in shape. Only the landside portion of the subject has direct occess to public roadways. INGRESS/EGRESS Ingress and egress is available to the site via Red Hook Rood (Highway 32), just west of the St. John/Tortola Ferry Landing. Red Hook Road, at the subject property, is o major east/west street that is improved with one lane of traffic in each direction. Street improvements include asphalt paving, open ditches for drainage and no shoulders. Street parking is permitted, and the traffic flow is generally congested. Please refer to the prior site mop for the layout of the street that provide access to the subject property TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE The portion of the landside site immediately adjacent to Red Hook Road is generally level and at street grade. The topography then slopes significantly towards the southern boundary and Vessup Boy. The topography of the site is not seen as an impediment to the development of the property. During our inspection of the site, we observed no drainage problems and assume that none exist. The southern 3.20 acres of the site is submerged land owned by the government.

ADJACENT PROPERTIES The adjacent land uses are os follows: 17 O 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Inc. EFTA00787792 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA SITE ANALYSIS North: Red Hook Plaza South: Vessup Bay East: St. John/Tortola Ferry Landing West: Old commercial development (appears to be closed) CONCLUSION The site hos a remote location in terms of proximity to the primary tourist attractions and destinations, but afforded good access and visibility from the roadway frontage. It does have good access to the fishing grounds in the Atlantic Ocean, which is o positive consideration for o marina operation in limiting the amount of fuel boat owners must use to and from the best fishing grounds in the Atlantic. The size of the site is typical for the use, and there are no known detrimental uses in the immediate vicinity. The submerged land is subject to wove action from the open waters of Vessup Boy and on- site traffic and parking is considered poor. The parking factor hos o negative impact on maximizing the income potential of the subject. 18 t: 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Mc. EFTA00787793 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA IMPROVEMENT ANALYSIS IMPROVEMENT ANALYSIS The capacity (in terms of length), water ingress and egress, pedestrian access, quality of dockage and site improvements (as well as any other amenities) has a direct influence on its marketability and operating success of a marina. Likewise, on-site parking, ease of access and security are paramount for retail success. Design and functionality can affect the operations and profitability, also. These factors and how they affect the subject ore analyzed and presented below.

The following is a description of the subject improvements and bosic construction features derived from discussions with the developer, a limited site plon and CBRE's physical inspection. YEAR BUILT Prior to the current development of the subject site, the property was being used as a marina. The subject property os it is now was constructed in 1992. 19 © 2007 CB Richard Ellis, Mc. EFTA00787794 AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA IMPROVEMENT ANALYSIS DESIGN AND LAYOUT The subject property consists of two primary uses, retail/office and a marina. The retail/office portion is on the landside portion of the site, as well as the dock master's office. The boot slips extend from the southern edge of the landside site into Vessup Boy. Primary vehicular ingress/egress is via four curb cuts along Red Hook Road. Parking, although limited, is available along the front of the retail/office improvements, as well as a parking garage under Building B and C. Parking in the garage is for retail/office tenants and in some cases for on additional fee. Water ingress/egress is via a channel cut from the Atlantic Ocean known as Vessup Boy. The channel depth does not appear to affect the use of the subject by larger vessels with drafts in excess of 4'. The basic construction features are summarized as follows. FOUNDATION The foundation of the building improvements is reinforced concrete footings and columns, while the foundation of the dockage is concrete pylons. CONSTRUCTION COMPONENTS The frame of the building improvements is wood or steel, with the exterior walls being wood siding. The deck areas are wood planks atop the concrete pylons. DOCK MASTER'S OFFICE The dock master's office area is located under the decking of Building B & C and faces the marina. This building is constructed of wood framing and plaster finish. The dock master's office is located just north of C Dock. RETAIL/OFFICE BUILDINGS There are six building structures to the north of the marina. Except for Building F, these buildings are two-story structures constructed with wood or steel framing and plaster on the lower level exterior walls. The upper levels hove wood siding on the exterior walls. Roof covering is galvanized metal and most buildings hove on overhang with wood decking for pedestrian traffic and access to the upper level. Access to the upper levels is via steel framed stairwells, as well as on elevator between Buildings B & C. Building F, located in the northwest corner of the site is a one-story structure at street grade, cantilevering into a second, lower level as the terrain slopes towards the south. This building hos a flat roof and is in fair condition. This building houses four tenants, the largest being the East End Café. The lower level is slated for construction of new storage units for slip tenants. Six new storage units hove been installed, with another 23 planned for the rest of the lower level. Two of the storage units will be utilized as storage for the marina owner. The cost to complete the n
