L INTRODUCTION Wolf Ranch Reinvestment Zone (the "Zone") is a tax increment reinvestment zone, proposed to be designated by the City of Georgetown (the "City") pursuant to the Tax Increment Financing Act, as codified in Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code (the "Act") in accordance with the provisions of the "Development Agreement with Forestville Associates, a Maryland General Partnership, Regarding Development of Wolf Ranch" between the City and Forestville Associates, a Maryland General Partnership, whose general partner is Simon Property Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Simon") (the "Development Agreement"), The Zone is proposed to cover approximately 100.676(+/-) acres, is located entirely in Williamson County (the "County") and within the corporate limits of the City, and is generally located at the southwest corner of IH 35 and SH 29 W. The Zone is proposed to be created for a 30-year duration. The current owner of all of the property within the Zone is Simon. The Zone will facilitate a program of public improvements to allow and encourage the development of a 100.676 (+/-) acre tract of land into an open air retail/entertainment/commercial facility with a maximum of 850,000 square feet of retail/entertainment/commercial space, four neighborhood amenity areas and adjacent parkland (cumulatively, the "Project"). Construction of the Project is scheduled to take place in phases over a three year period. The first phase of the Project is scheduled to begin construction in 2004. Private development costs in the Zone are estimated to be approximately $100 million and will be expended over the next 3 years. Public improvements scheduled for the Zone include, but are not limited to, the construction of: (i) a water distribution system, (ii) storm sewers and drainage ponds, (iii) sanitary sewers, (iv) landscaping, streetscape, fountains, works of art, and street furniture, (v) plazas, squares, pedestrian malls, boardwalks, and other public spaces, (vi) parking lots and on -site roadways, (vii) electric line relocation and installation, and (viii) other related necessary or convenient public improvements. The public improvements to be constructed, which constitute eligible Project Costs, as defined in Section 311.002 of the Act, shall not exceed $15,000,000 in principal amount. The City and Simon have previously entered into the Development Agreement which specifically sets forth the terms for the development of the Project and the financing of the public improvements. r I-1 IL PROJECT PLAN A. Existing Uses and Conditions (311.011(b)(1)) The City will designate approximately 100.676 (+/-) acres as Wolf Ranch Reinvestment Zone. Prior to the creation of the Zone, a majority of the land within the Zone was vacant and unimproved. Exhibit A is a map illustrating the existing conditions of property within the Zone, as required by Section 311.011 (b)(1) of the Act. The purpose of the Zone is to facilitate a program of public improvements to allow the development of an open air retail/entertainment/commercial facility with a maximum of 850,000 square feet of retail/entertainment/commercial space, four neighborhood amenity areas and parkland. For illustrative purposes, Exhibit B depicts the vicinity and boundaries of the Zone. A metes and bounds description of the property located within the Zone is included as Exhibit C to this Preliminary Project Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan (the "Plan"). Be Municipal Ordinances and Agreements (311.011(b)(2)) All of the property located within the Zone is within the corporate limits of the City. The City and Simon have entered into the Development Agreement included as Exhibit D describing the public improvements to be financed by the Zone, the manner of reimbursement to Simon and various other matters related to the Project. The City has agreed to participate in the Zone by contributing its tax increment. The description of the above -referenced ordinances, plans, and agreements is provided in accordance with Section 311.001(b)(2) of the Act. The proposed development does not anticipate any additional changes to the City's comprehensive plan, City ordinances or building codes other than those relating to the creation of the Zone or those ordinances or comprehensive plan amendments already approved by the City for the development. C. Zone Non -Project Costs (311.011(b)(3)) Non -Project Costs represent the expenditures estimated by Simon necessary to complete the development as contemplated by the master plan prepared by Simon, exclusive of eligible Project Costs as defined in Section 311.002 (1)(A-K) of the Act. Non -Project Costs are estimated at over $100 million. A copy of the PUD Development Plan is attached as Exhibit E. The development plan shows the proposed improvements to and proposed uses of the property in the Project as required by Section 311.01 l(b)(1). The total private investment in the Zone is estimated at over $100 million during the development of the Project. This consists of private investment for the construction of improvements including retail, entertainment, restaurants, offices and other buildings. D. Relocation (311.011(b)(4)) No residential relocation will be required as a part of the creation of the Zone. Res. a,0903.uwl II-1 dear III. FINANCING PLAN A. Project Cost Description (311.011(c)(1)) Simon will construct the public works and improvements necessary to develop the property in the Zone which constitute Project Costs, as defined in Section 311.002 (1)(A-K) of the Act. Simon has agreed in the Development Agreement to advance the funds necessary to construct certain TIRZ improvements subject to reimbursement from tax increment and/or tax increment bond proceeds. The City will finance certain Project Costs through the issuance of bonds or other obligations secured by the tax increment generated by the City. Project Costs to be reimbursed consist of costs associated with the design and construction of the public works and improvements necessary for the development of the Project, as described below: 1. Capital Costs a, water distribution system; b, storm sewers and drainage ponds; co sanitary sewers; do electric line relocation and installation; eo parking lots and on -site roadways; fo landscape areas; and g1 public areas and plazas. 2. Design, Architectural, and Engineering Fees The development of the Project will require professional services for the design and engineering of public improvements, including inspecting/testing of soils and construction materials and overseeing construction operations. Additionally, certain studies, including market and economic feasibility studies, will be prepared. 3. Zone Administration - Over 30-Year Life of Zone The ongoing administration of the Zone will require services including, but not limited to, such services as accountants and bookkeepers, engineers, legal counsel, planners or other administrative services deemed necessary by the Zone Board to implement this Plan. B. Location of Proposed Public Improvements (311.011(c)(2)) The site plan indicating the approximate location of the proposed public improvements, as required to be demonstrated by Section 311.011 (c)(2) of the Act, is shown on Exhibit F, which follows. The public improvements will be constructed in phases consistent with the development of the property. Co Estimate of Project Costs Di no 0 An estimate of the costs of the proposed improvements as they are currently anticipated to be funded is shown on Exhibit G which follows. This estimate of Project Costs are in year 2003 dollars and are subject to change. D. Economic Feasibility Study (311.011(c)(3)) A market and economic feasibility study for the proposed Zone has been conducted. See Appendix 1 for a copy of the study. E. Estimate of Bonded Indebtedness to be Incurred (311.011(c)(4)) The City will finance certain Project Costs described above necessary to develop the property in the Zone. The City will sell bonds secured by the tax increment in the Zone to finance the public improvements. The City estimates that it will reimburse Simon for the Project Costs either through the tax increment or through the issuance of approximately $13,000,000 principal amount of bonds. Such figures include the possible funding of a debt service reserve, capitalized interest, and paying developer interest and cost of issuance. The balance of the Project Costs will be paid from available tax increment. F. Time of Incurring Monetary Obligations (311.011(c)(5)) The repayment term on any bonds issued is estimated at 20 years. Debt service and cash flow projections, as prepared by First Southwest Company, financial advisors to the City, are illustrated in Exhibit H. The cash flow projections contemplate that the City will issue 1 series of tax increment bonds, beginning in 2006 as depicted on the Cash Flow and Debt Service Schedule, G. Method of Financing (311.011(c)(6)) The Tax Increment Bonds issued by the City will be secured by ad valorem taxes collected by the City on the incremental increase in the assessed value of real property located within the Zone. For purposes of this financing model, it is anticipated that the City will participate in the Zone at a participation equal to 100% of their total tax rate. The City will establish a Tax Increment Fund (the "Fund") for the Zone in the ordinance designating the Zone. In accordance with Section 311.013 of the Act, each participating taxing jurisdiction will pay into the Fund the amount of increment generated by the taxing jurisdiction. The tax increment deposited into the Fund will be used to pay debt service on the Tax Increment Revenue Bonds which finance the construction of infrastructure of approved Project Costs along with maintaining, operating and administering the Zone. III - 2 xi6 ® 'All H. Current Appraised Value/Captured Appraised Value (311.011(c)(7)(8)) The Plan will be implemented in part through the Zone's ability to capture and utilize incremental ad valorem tax revenue generated from real property in the Zone, known as the captured appraised value. The base value, from which captured appraised value is calculated, is the total assessed taxable value of all property within the zone on January 1, 2003, as shown on the rolls of the Williamson County Appraisal District. As the development of the Project will take place in phases over the next three years, the projected captured appraised value will increase as development continues. An estimate of the captured appraised value in each year of the projected life of the zone is included in Exhibit H. I. Duration of the Zone (311.011(c)(9)) The Zone will have a duration of 30 years. 4 III - 3 The City will create a Zone Board of Directors composed of 5 members in the Ordinance designating the Zone. The Board of Directors of the Zone will prepare (i) an Annual Zone Budget; (ii) an Annual Report of Zone activities; and (iii) an Annual Financial Statement prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for presentation to the City.

(TIP) was engaged by the City of Georgetown to conduct an economic impact analysis of the Wolf Ranch development, an open-air mall proposed for construction by Simon Properties along IH-35, just south of Highway 29. The project's anchors are expected to include a number of major retailers, such as Target, Kohl's, Office Depot, and Best Buy, as well as several "sit-down" restaurants. As described at the time of this analysis, the development will contain 688,550 square feet of retail, with sales of approximately $209 million. To estimate the economic impact to the region (defined here as Williamson County), we used IMPLAN Professional 2.0, an input-output based model available through Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc. (MIG). The model was populated with data for the study area purchased from MIG for 2000, the most recent year available. Results were then inflated to current (2003) dollars for this report. The primary inputs for the model, annual sales figures, were provided by the City of Georgetown. Findings We estimate that the Wolf Ranch development, upon completion, will have a total annual impact of $88.4 million on the economy of Williamson County, and will employ a total of 1,650 people (including direct, indirect and induced employment), generating $24.6 million in wages. Total value-added for the development —that is, the sum of employee compensation, proprietary income, other property4ype income, and indirect business taxes resulting from the development —is $50.0 million dollars. Table 1: Wolf Ranch Impacts (in 2003 dollars) Source: IMPLAN; TIP Strategies, Inc. These estimates assume that all jobs are filled by Williamson County residents. As the percentage of non -county residents employed at the development increases, the economic impact of the project for Williamson County would decrease (See Sensitivity Analysis: Employment, Table 7). Given the number of major retailers proposed for the development, the results also assume a modest level-25 percent —of local purchases (See Sensitivity Analysis: Imports, Table 6). 0 Economic Impact of Wolf Ranch Develc. ent, Georgetown, Texas The economic impact of the Wolf Ranch development was modeled using IMPLAN Professional 2.0, an input-output based model available through Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc. (MIG). The model was populated with data for the study area purchased from MIG for 2000, the most recent year available. Input-output analysis is a complex econometric method that uses observed transactions between industries to create models of industry relationships in an economic region. In addition to describing the relationship between industries, input-output analysis produces multipliers that can be used to predict the impact of a specific change in economic activity in the area, such as the closing of a military base, or in this case, the opening of a large retail center. Assumptions The most important consideration in econometric modeling is the assumptions made about the project or event being analyzed. Sales/Output The IMPLAN model is driven by either a change in production (employment), or output (sales). Estimated annual sales figures, as published in a report by Real Estate Strategies, Inc., were provided to TIP by the City of Georgetown. Estimated net sales were used in the model.' These figures were derived using gross margins from the 1997 Economic Census. Gross margin, sometimes referred to as gross profit, is defined as total sales less the cost of sales. 10K reports for several of the possible tenants revealed a range of gross margins for fiscal year 2001, from a low of 29.9 percent for Target to 41.2 percent for Bed Bath & Beyond. However, in the absence of specific information, national gross margins were used. i Sates figures were not adjusted to reflect losses from existing merchants. Although it is likely that there will be some loss of sales by existing businesses within the region, those losses will be offset by new dollars coming in from outlying communities and by the recapture of sales tax dollars currently "leaking" out of the community to other areas. This assumption is supported by one of the most widely published studies of a major chain store's impact on small communities. The study, published in 1995 by Dr. Kenneth Stone of Iowa State University, tracks changes in retail sales for 36 Iowa towns with a Wal-Mart store. Dr. Stone's study indicated that total sales in these towns increased by as much as 8 percent after five years, despite losses to existing merchants. TIP STRATEGIES, INC. iq Economic Impact of Wolf Ranch Develc ent, Georgetown, Texas Table 2: Wolf Ranch Sales Assumptions Source: Real Estate Strategies, Inc.; Simon Property Group; TIP Strategies, Inc.; U.S. Census Bureau Employment As stated, the IMPLAN model can be used to measure the impact of either a change in employment (production), or a change in sales (output). In our model, impacts were measured using changes in sales, with employment figures automatically supplied by the software. Because these model -derived estimates significantly overstated the employment that could be expected from this type of development (see Table 5), we adjusted the specific retail industries to more closely match local conditions. This was accomplished by calculating the net sales per employee using actual retail sales data for 2000 from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, as illustrated in Table 3. Table 3: Calculation of Sales per Employee based on Actual Retail Sales Data for 2000 Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts; IMPLAN; TIP Strategies, Inc. To arrive at an estimate of net sales, the Comptroller's data was multiplied by the same gross margin used to derive estimated net sales for the project (Le., 31.8 percent for General Merchandise Stores and Miscellaneous Retail, and 65.6 percent for Eating and Drinking Places). This figure was then divided by the number of employees in each industry segment from the IMPLAN mode12 to arrive at an estimate of sales (or output) per employee. Z IMPLAN employment was used rather than Texas Workforce Commission data since IMPLAN data are derived from several sources, each of which goes through an extensive process to estimate data excluded for non-disdosure. K3 Economic Impact of Wolf Ranch Devek ~ ent, Georgetown, Texas Table 4: Sales Per Employee versus Output per Worker from IMPLAN Source: IMPLAN; TIP Strategies, Inc. With the exception of Eating and Drinking Places, sales per employee calculated using actual sales data from the Comptroller's office were significantly higher than that reported by IMPLAN. Therefore, adjustments were made to General Merchandise Stores and Miscellaneous Retail to bring their output figures in line with the Comptroller's data. The resulting employment estimates were comparable to national figures for major chain department stores .3 As a result, the lower employment figures (those calculated from the Comptroller's sales data) were used for the impact analysis. Table S: Wolf Ranch Employment Estimates Source: IMPLAN; TIP Strategies, Inc. Sensitivity Analysis: Imports Because the anchors of the Wolf Ranch project are likely to be major retail chain stores with large-scale purchasing and distribution systems, it can be assumed that only a very small portion, if any, of their purchases will be made within Williamson County. We conducted sensitivity analyses by adjusting the model to judge the effect of imports on the overall impact of the development. As we expected, the results indicate that the model results are affected by the level of expenditures that occur locally. s Using figures from the 1997 Economic Census (the most recent year available), we calculated an average of 148 employees per establishment for national chain department stores with sales of $10 million to $24.9 million. TIP STRATEGIES, INC. 0 Economic Impact of Wotf Ranch Deve%, ent, Georgetown, Texas Construction Costs The impact of the construction was not included in the model, as economic gains from construction are temporary and usually do not accrue to the local economy because the inputs — labor and material --often come from outside the region. The omission of construction costs from the estimate of economic impact means that the total impact is likely understated. Any additional gains from the short-term changes in economic activity arising from the construction of the development should be seen as "the icing on the cake." Pull Factor Impact A pull factor is a measure of trade area size. It is calculated by dividing local per capita retail sales by per capita sales for the state. Pull factors greater than 1.00 provide an indication that merchants are selling to the equivalent of all residents in the community, plus a percentage of non-residents. Pull factors less than 1.00 are an indication that a community's sales tax dollars are "leaking" to surrounding communities. To estimate the impact of the mall on Georgetown's pull factor, we first calculated an estimate of the amount of taxable retail sales that could be expected from the development (Table 8). Table 8: Estimated Taxable Sales Generated by Wolf Ranch Development in 2004 Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts; TIP Strategies, Inc. Note: Percent Taxable was calculated from three years of sales tax data (1999 through 2001). This figure was then added to estimates of taxable retail sales for 2004, the year the mall is projected to open. As one might expect, the addition of more than $130 million in taxable sales — an increase of nearly 60 percent above projected figures for 2004—has a significant impact on the city's pull factor (1.62 with the development versus 1.04 without). However, projections based on historical trends should always be viewed with caution, as these trends may not hold in the future. This caveat is particularly true in this case, since retail demand responds quickly to changes in economic conditions at the national, state, and local level. Given the relatively small number of years included in the analysis, the projections were heavily influenced by the recent economic downturn. As a result, the mall's impact on the city's pull factor (Table 9) may be somewhat overstated. TIP STRATEGIES, INC.

(remaining years). Note: 1999 pull factor differs from previous calculation performed by TIP in 2001 due to significant downward revision to the city's 1999 population estimate following the release of the 2000 Census. 7 February 10, 2003 Mr. William Hammer Simon Property Group, Inc. P.O. Box 7033 Indianapolis, IN 46207 Dear Mr. Hammer: In accordance with our engagement letter dated January 16, 2003, Real Estate Strategies, Inc. ("RESP') has prepared for Simon Property Group, Inc. ("Simon") a fiscal impact analysis of the benefits derived from the development of the proposed Wolf Ranch retail center in Georgetown, Texas. This letter report briefly summarizes the key assumptions and methodology RESI used to prepare the analysis. The Wolf Ranch development is projected to generate total revenues to the City of Georgetown in the amount of $114.5 million over a 20 year period. The present value of this income stream is estimated to be $49.0 million in 2004, the year project development will take place. Fiscal Impacts: Construction Phase — Based on the site plan provided by Simon, it was assumed that the Wolf Ranch Development would contain a total of 688,551 square feet of retail space. Of this amount, 449,950 would be anchor and junior anchor tenants, 182,601 square feet would be smaller interior retail shops, and the remaining 56,000 square feet would be out parcels. It was assumed that all outparcels will be developed as restaurants. Hard costs were estimated at $60.00 per square foot for the base building and an additional $40.00 per square foot for the interior fit -out of anchor and junior anchor tenants for a total of $100.00 per square foot. It was assumed the smaller shops would cost $50.00 per square foot for the interior fit -out for a total of $110.00 per square foot. The outparcel restaurants were assumed to cost an additional $50.00 per square foot over the costs of building the smaller shops. This additional cost would be for equipment bringing the total costs to $160.00 per square foot. Based on these assumptions, total hard costs for the Wolf Ranch development would total $74.0 million. It was further assumed that building materials represent 55 percent of the hard costs or $40.7 million. It was also assumed that 100 percent of the materials would be purchased in the State of Texas and therefore subject to the Texas sales tax of 8.0 percent. The City of Georgetown currently receives 1.75 percent of the Texas sales tax and the remaining 6.25 percent is retained by the State. Of the 1.75 percent, the City utilizes 1.0 percent of the Texas sales tax for the general revenue fund, 0.5 percent for the transportation improvement fund and an additional 0.25 percent for the street maintenance fund. Given these tax rates, the construction phase of the Wolf Ranch Development would contribute $407,226 to the general revenue fund, $203,613 to the transportation improvement fund and $101,807 to the street maintenance fund for a total of $712,646 in tax revenue to the City of Georgetown. According to estimates provided by Simon, it is projected that the Wolf ranch development will create 850 construction jobs. Fiscal Impacts: Operations Phase — During the operations of the Wolf Ranch Development, it was assumed that the sales generated by the tenants in the building would also be subject to the 8.0 percent State of Texas sales tax and the City of Georgetown would receive the same percentages of 1.0 percent for the general revenue fund, 0.5 percent for the transportation improvement fund and 0.25 percent for the street maintenance fund. The street maintenance tax, however, is scheduled to sunset in April, 2007 and it was assumed that voter approval would not be obtained to renew it. Based on the construction schedule, it was assumed that Anchor #1 would open for business at the end of 2004 and have its first full year of operations in 2005. Anchor #2 is assumed to open in October 2005. All of the remaining anchor tenants were assumed to open in April 2005 and the small interior retail shops were assumed to open in July 2005. The outparcel restaurants are assumed to open in September 2005. Thus the first full year of operations for the Wolf Ranch Development will be 2006, when it is estimated that the Center will generate a total of $220.2 million in sales revenue. It was also assumed that 20 percent of outparcel restaurant revenue will be from alcohol sales and thus subject to the 14% State of Texas alcohol tax. During the first full year of operations, the alcohol sales in the Center will total $4.1 million. According to the State Comptroller's Office, the City of Georgetown receives 10.7143 percent of this tax, the County receives an additional 10.7143 percent and the State retains the remaining 78,5714 percent. Over the 20 year period of the analysis, retail sales were projected to inflate at 4.0 percent per year, except for the Anchor #1 tenant. The proposed retailer estimates that their revenue will increase by 7.4 percent per year. During this 20 year period, the Wolf Ranch development is projected to generate approximately $6.6 billion in total sales, of which, $116.4 million are estimated to be from alcohol sales. The sales tax revenue for the general revenue fund over the 20 year period was discounted back to 2004 utilizing a 9.0 percent discount rate. The remainder of the sales tax revenue and the alcohol tax revenue were discounted back to 2004 utilizing a 6.0 percent discount rate. According to the City of Georgetown, their cost of funds currently is approximately 5.0 percent. Assuming a risk factor associated with borrowing the funds in the future and uncertainty achieving the stated goals of the development, a discount rate of 6.0 percent was used. This is estimated to result in a present value of $41.1 million in sales tax revenue for the City of Georgetown, of which $24.0 million would be contributed to the general revenue fund, $16.2 million would be for the transportation improvement fund and $889,995 would for the street maintenance fund. The alcohol tax would generate an additional $860,998 in funds for the City of Georgetown making the total present value impact from the operations of the Center $42.0 million. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, retail developments in the State of Texas generate one permanent job for every 500 square feet of gross leaseable space. Utilizing this formula, the retailers at the Wolf Ranch development would create approximately 1,380 permanent jobs. Fiscal Impacts: Real Estate Taxes - Real estate taxes were calculated based on the estimated value of the Wolf Ranch development upon completion utilizing real estate tax rates provided by Simon and the City of Georgetown. The City of Georgetown receives 12.1 percent of the total tax, Williamson County receives 18.4 percent and the Georgetown Independent School District receives the 69.5 percent balance. The discount rate of 6.0 percent, described above, was used to discount the revenue stream back to the present. Based on the analysis, the Wolf Ranch development will generate a total of $41.5 million in real estate taxes over the 20 year period. The present value of this revenue steam would be $24.5 million in 2004 dollars. The City of Georgetown will receive $5.0 million over the 20 years at a present value of $3.0 million. Williamson County will receive $7.6 million over the 20 years at a present value of $4.5 million. The Georgetown Independent School District receives the balance of $28.9 million over the 20 years at a present value of $17.0 million. Fiscal Impacts: Electric Revenue — The City of Georgetown operates an electric utility. It was estimated that the Wolf Ranch development will utilize 32.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity. Applying an effective utility rate of $0.0509 per kilowatt hour, the project will generate $1.7 million in gross revenue in 2006, the first full year of operations. Applying a 4.0 percent per year inflation factor, the project will generate approximately $48.1 million in gross revenue over the 20 year period. According to the City of Georgetown, 10.0 percent of the revenue stream is earmarked for the general revenue fund. This would generate $4.8 million over the 20 year period for the City of Georgetown. Utilizing the 6.0 percent discount rate discussed above, the 2004 present value of this revenue stream would be $2.4 million. Fiscal Impacts: Water/Sewer Revenue — The City of Georgetown also controls the water and sewer services. It was estimated the Wolf Ranch development will utilize 25.1 million gallons of water per year. Applying an effective water utilization rate of $0.0256 per gallon, the project will generate $668,072 in gross revenue in 2006, the first full year of operations. Applying a 4.0 percent per year inflation factor, the project will generate approximately $18.9 million in gross revenue over the 20 year period. According to the City of Georgetown, 10 percent of the revenue stream is earmarked for the general revenue fund. This would generate approximately $1.9 million over the 20 year period for the City of Georgetown. Utilizing the 6.0 percent discount rate, the 2004 present value of this revenue stream will be $936,524. Terms and Conditions.
