LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
LEONARD BELLANCA
I, LEONARD BELLANCA, wn-ently a resident of and domiciled in the Town
of Hilton Head Island, County of Beaufort, State of South Carolina, do hereby make,
publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament.
ARTICLE t
I am married to MARY G. BELLANCA, who is referred to in this Instrument
as my "spouse." LEONARD C. BELLANCA, of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, JAMES A.
BELLANCA, of Winnetka, Illinois, JOSEPH J. BELLANCA, of Malvern, Pennsylvania,
PAUL M. BELLANCA, of Honolulu, Hawaii, and MARY ANN SLATTERY, of Midliothian,
Virginia, together with any children whom I may adopt after my execution of this
Instrument, are referred to in this Instrument as my children, and no other individual,
regardless of relationship to me, shall be entitled to share in any bequest or devise made
to my children, or to any of them.
It is my wish that, upon my death, I be cremated and my ashes disposed of
as determined by my Executor.
ARTICLE II
I revoke all Wills and Codicils previously made by me. I direct that my just
debts (as determined by my Executor), the expenses of my last illness and funeral, and the
expenses of the administration of my estate be paid as soon as practicable after my death
from my residuary estate. If at the time of my death any real property herein bequeathed
is subject to a mortgage, I direct that the beneficiary receiving the mortgaged property shalt
,.::
- 1 -
take it subject to the mortgage and the indebtedness secured thereby and shall not be
entitled to have such indebtedness paid out of my general estate. I direct that all estate,
inheritance, or other taxes assessed upon or with respect to any property or interest in
property included in my estate for such tax purposes shall be paid as provided in the Trust
referenced in, or created pursuant to, Article V of this Instrument.
ARTICLE ifl
I direct that, to the extent permitted by the Probate Code of South Carolina,
my Executor, Beneficiaries and Heirs abide by any Memorandum, signed by me,
designating the recipients of specific items of tangible personal property which I own at the
time of my death, whether such Memorandum is executed before or after the date of this
Instrument. I further direct that, if any named recipient shall not survive me, the bequest
to that recipient shall be deemed to have lapsed, and the items of tangible personal
property designated for such recipient shalt, unless otherwise provided in the
Memorandum, become part of my remaining tangible personal property bequeathed by this
Instrument.
ARTICLE IV
I hereby bequeath all of my tangible personal property (except currency) not
otherwise bequeathed by separate Memorandum to beneficiaries who have survived me, ~
including but not limited to furniture, furnishings, collections, antiques, paintings,
silverware, china, glass, books, jewelry, wearing apparel, automobiles, boats, and all
insurance policies thereon, to my spouse if my said spouse survives me by thirty (30} days.
,If my said spouse does not so survive me, I bequeath all of said tangible personal property
to my children who survive me, to be divided among them by my Executor in as nearly
equal shares as may be practical. I request, but do not require, that my Executor give due
regard to any preferences expressed by my children; the discretion of my Executor shall
be exclusive and absolute, and no decision made by my Executor maybe challenged by
J~
~~ .
- 2 -
any beneficiary hereunder. The cost of storing and insuring any of my tangible personal
property shall be an administrative expense payable from my residuary estate; costs of
delivery shall be borne by the beneficiary receiving the same.
ARTICLE V
I bequeath the remainder of my property, real and personal, tangible and
intangible, of whatever nature and wherever it may be located, whether acquired before
or after the execution of this Instrument, including any specific devise or bequest
established by this Instrument which lapses (referred to in total as my "residuary estate")
to the then Trustee or Trustees under that certain Trust Agreement executed by me as
Grantor prior to the execution of this Instrument and dated the 15~' day of April, 1997. The
Trustee or Trustees shall add the property bequeathed and devised by this Article to the
corpus of the above described Trust and shall hold, administer and distribute said property
in accordance with the provisions of the said Trust Agreement, including all amendments
thereto. In the event that, for any reason, the bequest and devise under this Article is
ineffective and invalid, then I bequeath the same to my eldest son, LEaNARD C.
BELLANCA as Trustee, to be held, administered and distributed in accordance with the
provisions of the above described Trust Agreement, which provisions are incorporated by
this reference and made a part of this Instrument to the same extent as if set forth in their
entirety in this Instrument. ff for any reason such person or entity is unable or unwilling to
serve as Trustee, l hereby nominate, constitute and appoint as successor or substitute
Trustee that person or entity which is next designated in ARTICLE XII of the above
referenced Trust Agreement that is willing and able to so serve; if there be none, then I
appoint that trust company, financial institution possessing a trust department or trust
company subsidiary of a securities brokerage company designated in a written instrument
filed with the court having jurisdiction over this Will and signed by my spouse, or, if my
spouse fails to act in a timely manner, signed by or on behalf of my oldest living child, or
~°~
- 3 -
if he or she fails to act in a timely manner, by the court having jurisdiction of the probate
of my estate. I hereby refrain from exercising any power of appointment that I may have
had at the time of my death.
ARTICLE VI
I hereby nominate my eldest son, LEONARD C. BELLANICA as Executor of
this my Will. If for any reason such nominee is unable or unwilling to serve or to continue
to serve in such capacity, I nominate my son, JAMES A. BELLAN~A as alternate or
successor Executor. I direct that no person nominated as Executor hereunder shall be
required to post any bond or other security for the faithful performance of such duties. My
Executor shall receive reimbursement of all expenses reasonably incurred to undertake
the duties of Executor.
My Executor is specifically authorized and empowered to exercise all of the
powers in the management of my Estate which any individual could exercise in the
management of similar property owned in his own right, upon such teens and conditions
as to my Executor may deem best, and to execute and deliver any and all instruments and
to do all acts which my Executor may deem proper or necessary to carry out the purposes
of this my Will, without the necessity of a court order. My Executor is specifically
authorized to sell real property and personal property, regardless of value, without court
approval whenever the Executor, in his or her sole discretion, determines that such sale
will facilitate distribution of the estate, prevent loss of value, or otherwise be in the best
interests of the beneficiaries.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I, LEONARD BELLANCA, sign my name to this
Instrument consisting of 5 typewritten pages (the following page included) this 15"' day of
April, 1997, and being first duly sworn, do hereby declare to the undersigined authority that

funds. During the term of such Trust, the Trustee shall apply ail or such part of the
income, and principal as necessary, as the Trustee shall determine to be reasonably
needed for the support, maintenance, medical care, and education of such beneficiary,
taking into account to the extent the Trustee deems appropriate the resources of the
beneficiary's parent(s). Any undistributed income shall be accumulated. At such time as
the beneficiary shall attain the age of twenty-one (21) years, or sooner die, the Trustee
- 21 -
shall pay over the principal and any accumulated income thereof to the beneficiary or to
his or her estate, as applicable. The authority conferred upon the Trustee by this
ARTICLE XVII shall be construed as a power only, and shall not operate to suspend the
absolute vesting of ownership in such beneficiary. With respect to the administration of
such Trust, the Trustee shall have all of the powers vested in the Trustee, and all of the
obligations established with respect to a Trust beneficiary, under the provisions of this
Agreement. If pursuant to any Trust created hereunder, income or principal shall become
distributable to a person under the age of 21 years, or to a person under legal disability,
or to a person not adjudicated incompetent but who, by reason of illness or mental or
__

__ _ __
physical disability, may, in the opinion of the Trustee, be unable properly to administer
such amounts, then the same, or any portion thereof, may, in the discretion of the Trustee,
be applied for the benefit of the beneficiary and/or all, or the remaining portion thereof,
shall be distributed by the Trustee in one or more of the following ways, as the Trustee
deems best:
(1) Directly to such beneficiary; or
(2} To the parent(s) or legally appointed guardian of such
beneficiary.
ARTICLE XVIII
In the event that the Grantor is determined to be incompetent, the Grantor
shall cease to serve as Trustee under this Agreement. If two physicians, one of which is
the regular physician of the Grantor, declare in writing that the Grantor is unable to
undertake most financial affairs (investments, gifts, purchases, sales, payment of bills,
incurring of expenses, etc.) in a competent manner, or is unable to protect financial assets
to meet future needs, the Grantor shall be deemed to have been determined to be
incompetent for the purposes of this Agreement. The term "regular physician of the
- 22 -
Grantor" shall refer to any physician who has treated the Grantor, and/or examined the
Grantor's health, at least three (3) times during a period of time which begins no more than
two (2) years before the determination of incompetency and, in addition, has examined the
Grantor's mental and/or physical health, as appropriate (or secured competent
examination thereof), within thirty (30) days prior to such determination of incompetency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any judicial determination of incompetency, or of
competency, shall supersede any determination hereunder made within one (1) year
before or after such judicial determination. The foregoing provisions shall likewise apply
to any individual who is serving, or is to serve, as Trustee or Co-Trustee~hereunder, if any.

ARTICLE XIX
Every Trustee (except the Initial Trustee) shall maintain accurate accounts
and records and shall prepare an account of the administration of the Tnast not less
frequently than annually and render the account to each person entitled to receive Trust
income during the period of the account and each person who would be entitled to
distribution of principal if the Trust had terminated on such date. Such statement shall set
forth a complete inventory of the property then constituting the Trust Estate and shall
reflect all receipts and disbursements of income and principal of the Trust Estate. The
assent by all persons so entitled to receive the account shall make such account, in the
absence of fraud or manifest error, binding and conclusive upon all persons then having,
or who may thereafter have, any interest, vested or contingent, in the income or principal
of the Trust Estate. The failure of any such person (1) personally or (2) by his or her
attorney-in-fact, or (3) if a minor by his or her parent or legal guardian, or (4) if under
disability by his or her legal guardian or conservator, or (5) if deceased by his or her
personal representative, to mail a written objection to any such account within sixty (60)
days after receipt thereof shall be deemed to be an assent by such person.
- 23 -
ARTICLE XX
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event any Trust held
hereunder shall, in the opinion of the Trustee, become uneconomic or otherwise
inadvisable to administer as a Trust, the Trustee, in the Trustee's absolute discretion, is
authorized to terminate such Trust and distribute the remaining. principal to or for the
benefit of the beneficiaries then entitled or eligible to receive the income and in the same
proportion. In such event, no remainder beneficiary shall possess any claim against the
income beneficiary or the Trustee.
ARTICLE XXI
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Instnament to the contrary, all Trusts
created hereunder shall terminate no later than twenty-one (21) years after the death of
the last survivor of the Grantor's spouse, children and grandchildren living on the date of
the Grantor's death, at which time the Trustee shall distribute the remaining principal to
or for the benefit of the beneficiaries then entitled or eligible to receive the income
therefrom.
ARTICLE XXII
In the event that it cannot be readily determined whether or not a beneficiary
named hereunder has survived the Grantor, it shall be presumed that the beneficiary did
not survive the Grantor for purposes of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XXIII
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary hereinabove, the Grantor's
spouse may not undertake any action, individually or in the capacity of Co-Trustee, which
- 24 -
would result in the inclusion of the assets of Trust "A" in such spouse's estate. This Article
shall not limit the right of the Grantor's spouse to make any available election upon the
Grantor's death.
ARTICLE XXIV
It is the intention of the Grantor (1) that this Instrument not be deemed to be,
or treated as, the Last Will and Testament of the Grantor, (2) that no Probate of this
Instrument be required or .undertaken, and (3) that the assets, the title to which are held
in the name of the Trust or in the name of the Trustee as Trustee (whether or not such title
is publicly recorded), shall not be treated as assets of the Estate of the Grantor or made
subject to Probate.

Re: $175,035 Partnership Interest In
Georgetown Apartment Associates
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request, we have made a market value appraisal of a $175,035 partnership
interest in Georgetown Apartment Associates.
The following pages include details on the subject participation as well as the method we used to
establish its market value. Based on these calculations, the market value of a $175,035
partnership interest, as of March 2, 2009, was:
FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND ($577,000) DOLLARS
Respectfully submitted,
i
ames L. Levy, ,ASA, MRICS
State of New York Certified General Appraiser
I.D. #46000005134
White Plains, New York Miami, Florida Hamden, Connecticut Scottsdale, Arizona
Interest Appraised
A $175,035 or 8.335% ($175,035 _ $2,100,000) in a general partnership known as Georgetown
Apartment Associates which owns the leasehold position and operates a garden apartment complex
consisting of 42 buildings with 641 apartments and 3,135 rooms plus a swimming pool, clubhouse,
etc., which is located on Laclede Station Road, Shrewsbury, Missouri.. This is approximately 6'~
miles south of downtown St. Louis.
History
In 1967, a syndicate, St. Louis Georgetown Associates, was organized to acquire the apartment
complex at a cost of $9,]83,107, $2,100,000 cash above four first mortgages totaling $7,083,107.
All of the mortgages were fully paid between December 1, 1987 and July 1, 1990.
Simultaneously with the closing of title, a net lease was made with Georgetown Apartment
Associates for a period of twenty-five years through April 30, 1992. There are nine renewal options
afttyenty--five years each. The first renewal option was exercised.
The lease provides for annual basic rent of $786,156 which will be reduced by 50% of any
reduction of the overall annual requirements for interest and amortization under any fee mortgage to
which the lease is or shall be subordinated. Additional rent is payable in an amount equal to SO% of
the adjusted operating income in excess of $100,000. The $100,000 exclusion shall be increased by
the amount of any reduction in the annual basic rent resulting from the reduction in the mortgage
requirements.
Appraisal Rationale
There exists no active market where this real estate participation can be purchased or sold.
The price that a purchaser would pay for an interest in Georgetown Apartment Associates would
likely be based on the cash distribution payable with respect to the interest. Therefore, we have
determined that the value of the interest should be determined by discounting the distributions
made to Georgetown Apartment Associates over the remaining term of the lease and valuing the
subject interest based on its share of such distributions.
In determining the Capitalization Rate, consideration was given to the following.
1. The distributions can vary dramatically depending upon the cash flow being generated from
operations during a particular calendar year. Past performances aze no indication of future
distributions. The nature of this cash flow is volatile and speculative.
2. The capitalization rate of the income flow reflects the elements of safety, risk, non-liquidity
and sinking fund. With regard to the safe rate, this is based on yields of government and
triple AAA corporate bonds. The non- liquidity factor recognizes the difficulty in selling a
non-controlling interest of an investment. There is no recognized active market where this
participation can be purchased or sold as is provided by the stock market. The risk element
reflects the difference in investing in safer channels of the money market as apposed to real
-3
APPRAISERS
AND PLANNERS lNC
estate where returns can vary dramatically from year to year. The sinking fund factor rate is
added to the ascertained interest rate which comprises the "safe" rate plus loading charges to
amortize or recapture investment over its remaining economic life„
The total of interest and recapture rates is the capitalization rate which has been applied to
the net income.
Derivation of Capitalization Rate
To estimate a reasonable capitalization rate, we have relied upon input from a number of market
sources, including rates published by the Real Estate Research Corp. ~"BERG"), market
transactions, and our own experience and awareness of current money market rates.
RERC conducts an active survey by polling buyers and sellers, and also monitors returns in
index form. Its survey for the Apartment/Second Tier Properties/Midwest Criteria/First Quarter
of 2009 has apartment buildings selling at capitalization rates of between 7.2% and 12.00%, with
an average of 8.50% and St. Louis survey with an average of 7.50%.
Conclusion
A capitalization rate of 6.5% has been applied to the Basic Rent, as the income stream is
substantially more secure and predictable than that of the Additional Rent, which can vary
substantially from year to year. Therefore, a capitalization rate of 8.5% has been applied to this
riskier and variable Additional Rent.
However, the above referenced survey does not reflect the dramatic changes that have taken
place in the marketplace since September. It has been acknowledged that the United States has
been in a recession since December 2007. Unemployment is sky rocketing, the credit crisis has
not only continued but is more severe, companies who have rarely reported anything but profits
are now reporting losses, major companies such as General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are on the
brink of bankruptcy and the global economy is similarly affected. Under these circumstances we
have applied a discount of 15% to the values based on the above capitalization rates.
Discount
The interest is a general partnership interest in Georgetown Apartment Associates, not direct
ownership of the real property itself, and is an interest of 8.335%. It is our opinion that such a
partial interest is worth less than the arithmetical proportion of the value of they subject property
as a whole. By definition, a minority interest is the ownership of an amount that does not enable
the holder to exercise control. The lack of control feature of a minority interest makes it less
attractive to investors who are not necessarily willing to pay the allocable value of the holding.
The reduction of what a willing buyer would pay for an interest with no control is called
minority interest discount. Another discount is also taken for lack of marketability and liquidity.
This reflects, among other things, the difficulty in selling a general partnership interest in
Georgetown Apartment Associates as well as the inability to sell the holding as of a particular
point in time.
-4-
APPRAISERS
AND PLANNERS INC
In arriving at the appropriate discount we have taken into consideration all of the above
including studies related to Restricted Stock and the Restrictions On Transfer pursuant to the
operating agreements previously discussed as well as decisions of the U.S. Tax Court. Samuel J.
& Ethel LeFrak v. Commissioner TCM 1993-526 (combined 30% discount for minority interest
and lack of marketability), Ellie B. Williams v. Commissioner TCM 1998-59 (combined 44%
discount for lack of control and lack of marketability), Estate of James Barudin, deceased,
Muriel B. Clarke, Executrix, Petitioner v. Commissioner TCM 1996-39'S (combined 45%
discount for minority interest and lack of marketability), McCord v. Commissioner, 120 T.C. No.
13, May 14, 2003 (combined 32% discount for minority interest and lack of marketability},
Lappo v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 2003-258 (35.4% discount for minority interest and lack of
marketability), Peracchio v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 2003-280 (combined 29.4% discount for
minority interest and lack of marketability), Estate of Woodbury G. Andrews, deceased,
Woodbury H. Andrews, Executrix, Petitioner v Commissioner, T.C. Memo No. 58, 79 TC 938
(combined 65% discount for minority interest and lack of marketability), Temple v. United
States, 97 A.F.T.R.2d 2006-1649 (E.D. Tex. 2006) (combined 60% discount for lack of
marketability) and E/O Margot Stewart v. Commissioner, Docket No. 5520-OS (Government
stipulated to a combined valuation discount of 42.5% for lack of marketability and lack of
control), among others.
It is our opinion that a 35% discount is appropriate for minority interest and lack of control and
lack of marketability and liquidity.

Interest Appraised
A $20,000 or 0.06060606% ($20,000 _ $33,000,000) in a general partnership known as Empire
State Building Associates L.L.C. ("Associates"), which holds the master leasehold on the Empire
State Building in New York City.
History
In December 1961, Associates acquired the master lease on the Empire Stag Building in New
York City. The cost of the leases was $36,000,000, consisting of cash of $30,000,000 and a
$6,000,000 leasehold mortgage. The cash portion of the purchase price and $3,000,000 of
expenses were provided by participants who invested $33,000,000. Theme is currently no
mortgage on the leasehold. The master lease contains renewal options extending through
January 5, 2076. It provides for an annual ground rent of $1,970,000, which will be reduced to
$1,723,750 on January 5, 2013.
On April 17, 2002, the fee position was purchased for $57,500,000. Additional closing and
related costs brought the price to $60,500,000. The entire amount has been financed through a
first mortgage from North Fork Bank which is for a term of ten years and provides for payments
of interest only at the rate of 6.5% per annum.
There will be no change in the regular monthly distributions to Participants. The difference
between interest payments on the mortgage and the rent previously paid to the former owners of
fee title, $1,962,500 annually, will be covered by the reserve that has been established and will
be renewed each year from a portion of the overage rent paid by Empire State Building Company
L.L.C. to Associates.
Simultaneously with the creation of the master lease, along-term operating sublease of the
property was entered into with Empire State Building Company. The term of the operating
sublease is coextensive with that of the master lease. Basic Rent under the sublease is
$6,018,750, which Associates applies $1,970,000 to payment of ground rent, $159,417 in
payment of supervisory fees to Wien & Malkin LLP and $3,889,333 as distributions to its
participants. In January 2013, Basic Rent will reduce by $123,125, one-half of the reduction in
the annual ground rent. The remaining $123,135, less 6% payable as an additional supervisory
fee, will be available for distribution to the participants. Associates receive$ Additional Rent
annually equal to one-half of the sub-lessee's profit in excess of $1,000,00, and 6% of the
Additional Rent is paid to Wien & Malkin LLP as additional supervisory fees. Associates
distributes all Basic Rent and Additional Rent, less ground rent and supervisory fees noted
above, to its partners.
Appraisal Rationale
There exists no active market in which this real estate participation can be purchased or sold.

APPRAISERS
AND PLANNERS INC
T'he price that a purchaser would pay for a general partnership interest in Empire State Building
Associates L.L.C. would likely be based on the cash distribution payable with respect to the
interest. It is apparent that the repercussions of September 11, 2001 will have a long lasting effect
on the cash flow and distributions from this property. Of particulaz interest, in addition to the
escalating operating expenses, is that the rents on the highest floors (70's and 80's) which
historically commanded the highest rents in the building no longer achieve those levels.
However, commencing with 2405 the operations have improved. However, in March 2009, when
distributions are usually made from the prior years operations it was determined that no additional
distributions would be made in 2009 as a result of the dramatic turnaround in the economy and
the market. We have averaged the distributions for the three years 2006 through 2008 made to
Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. and valuing the subject interest based on its share of
such distributions. The zero ($0) additional distributions projected for 2009 are reflected in the
25% discount of value referred to on the following page.
In determining the Capitalization Rate, consideration was given to the following:
1. The capitalization rate of the income flow reflects the elements of safety, risk and non-
liquidity. With regard to the safe rate, this is based on yields of government and AAA
corporate bonds. The non-liquidity factor recognizes the difficulty in selling anon-
controlling interest in an investment. There is no recognized active market in which this
participation can be purchased or sold. The risk element reflects the difference between
investments in safer channels of the money market and investments in real estate, where
returns can vary dramatically from year to year.
2. Additional Rent can vary dramatically depending upon the cash flow being generated from
operations during a particular calendar year. The variable nature of this cash flow is volatile
and speculative. In the early to mid-1990's, vacancies increased and rental rates decreased.
In addition, the building underwent major capital improvements and had to spend lazge sums
for tenant installations and leasing commissions. For example, Associates received no
Additional Rent for 1995 and 1996, while Additional Rent for 1997 was $1,061,319,
$2,828,000 in 1998, $6,620,200 in 1999, $13,211,858 in 2000, $23,100,000 in 2001,
$11,259,098 in 2002, $4,438,500 in 2003, $7,060,213 in 2004, $13,595,397 in 2005,
$16,110,662 in 2006, $15,144,022 in 2007 and $13,370,544 in 2008.
For the 2009 year there will be no distributions. This is partially a result of increasing
vacancies and decreasing market rents in a weak economy but mainly from the $50,000,000
spent in an upgrading program that will continue into 2010. Discussions with management
indicate that there probably will be no additional distributions in the 2010 year also.
Derivation of Capitalization Rate
To estimate a reasonable capitalization rate, we have relied upon input from a number of market
sources, including rates published by the Real Estate Research Corp. ("BERG"), market
transactions, and our own experience and awareness of current money market rates.
RERC conducts an active survey by polling buyers and sellers, and also monitors returns in
index form. Its survey for the Office/Second Tier Properties/East Coast/First Quarter of 2009
has Office/Central Business District buildings selling at capitalization rates of between 6.50%
and 11.0°l0, with an average of 8.70% and New York City survey with an average of 8.00%.

Conclusion
Due to the unique nature of this property, a capitalization rate of 6.0% has been applied to the
Basic Rent, as the income stream is substantially more secure and predictable than that of the
Additional Rent, which can vary substantially from year to year. Therefore, a capitalization rate
of 8.5% has been applied to this riskier and variable Additional Rent.
However, the above referenced survey does not reflect the dramatic changes that have taken
place in the marketplace since September. It has been acknowledged that the United States has
been in a recession since December 2007. Unemployment is sky rocketing, the credit crisis has
not only continued but is more severe, companies who have rarely reported anything but profits
are now reporting losses, major companies such as General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are on the
brink of bankruptcy and the global economy is similarly affected. Under these circumstances
and the existing vacancies at the subject building, we have applied a discount of 25% to the
values based on the above capitalization rates.
Discount
The interest is a general partnership interest in Empire State Building Associates L.L.C., not
direct ownership of the real property itself, and is an interest of 0.06060606%. It is our opinion
that such a partial interest is worth less than the arithmetical proportion of the value of the
subject property as a whole. By definition, a minority interest is the ownership of an amount that
does not enable the holder to exercise control. The lack of control feature of a minority interest
makes it less attractive to investors who are not necessarily willing to pay the allocable value of
the holding. The reduction of what a willing buyer would pay for an interest with no control is
called minority interest discount. Another discount is also taken for lack of marketability and
liquidity. This reflects, among other things, the difficulty in selling a general partnership interest
in Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. as well as the inability to sell the holding as of a
particular point in time.
In arriving at the appropriate discount we have taken into consideration all of the above
including studies related to Restricted Stock and the Restrictions On Transfer- pursuant to the
operating agreements previously discussed as well as decisions of the U.S. Tax Court. Samuel J.
& Ethel LeFrak v. Commissioner TCM 1993-526 (combined 30% discount for minority interest
and lack of marketability), Ellie B. Williams v. Commissioner TCM 1998-59 (combined 44%
discount for lack of control and lack of marketability), Estate of James Barudin, deceased,
Muriel B. Clarke, Executrix, Petitioner v. Commissioner TCM 1996-395 (combined 45%
discount for minority interest and lack of marketability), McCord v. Commissioner, 120 T.C. No.
13, May 14, 2003 (combined 32% discount for minority interest and lack of marketability),
Lappo v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 2003-258 (35.4% discount for minority interest and lack of
marketability), Peracchio v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo 2003-280 (combined 29.4% discount for
minority interest and lack of marketability), Estate of Woodbury G. Andrews, deceased,
Woodbury H. Andrews, Executrix, Petitioner v Commissioner, T.C. Memo No. 58, 79 TC 938
(combined 65% discount for minority interest and lack of marketability), Temple v. United
States, 97 A.F.T.R.2d 2006-1649 (E.D. Tex. 2006) (combined 60% discount for lack of
marketability) and E/O Margot Stewart v. Commissioner, Docket No. 552005 (Government
stipulated to a combined valuation discount of 42.5% for lack of marketability and lack of
control), among others.

It is our opinion that a 35% discount is appropriate for minority interest and lack of control and
lack of marketability and liquidity.
