III. APPRAISAL DEFINITIONS

ORDERLY LIQUIDATION VALUE: An estimated amount, expressed in terms of
currency in U.S. dollars which the subject equipment could typically realize at a
privately negotiated sale, properly advertised and professionally managed, by a
seller obligated to sell over an extended period of time, usually within six to twelve
months, as of the effective date of this appraisal report. Further, the ability of the
asset group to draw sufficient prospective buyers to insure competitive offers is
considered. All assets are to be sold on a piecemeal basis "as is with purchasers
responsible for removal of the assets at their own risk and expense. Any deletions or
additions to the total assets appraised could change the psychological and/or
monetary appeal necessary to gain the values indicated.

FAIR MARKET VALUE - REMOVAL: An estimated amount, expressed in terms of
currency in U.S. dollars, that may be reasonably expected to be realized for property
in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both,
neither being under compulsion to buy or sell, and both parties fully aware of all
relevant facts, as of the effective date of this appraisal report. All assets are to be
sold on a piecemeal basis "as is with purchasers responsible for removal of the
assets at their own risk and expense.

FAIR MARKET VALUE - IN PLACE: An estimated amount, expressed in terms of
currency in U.S. dollars to be realized for property in an exchange between a willing
buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither being under compulsion to buy
or sell, and both parties fully aware of all relevant facts, as of the effective date of
this appraisal report. It is assumed that the assets are being sold to remain in place
and in operation, taking advantage of all leasehold and site improvements designed
to facilitate their operation. This definition does not take into consideration the past,
present or forecasted income generating performance of the assets, however, it is
assumed that all assets that have been specially designed and/or built will continue
to be used for the purpose for which they were originally intended.
