On behalf of Phoenix Downtown Theatre, LLC (“PDT” or “Seller”), Cushman & Wakefi eld (“C&W”) is pleased to offer the opportunity for long-term control of the Dodge Theatre (“The Property”), a state-of-the-art live entertainment venue located at 400 West Washington Street in Phoenix, Arizona. Located in the heart of the Downtown area, this 178,000 square foot, 5-story venue seats up to 5,000 people and hosts concerts, Broadway shows, family stage events and boxing. It is one of the preeminent live entertainment venues in the Western United States and is easily accessible by the 10 and 17 freeways as well as a light rail stop just three blocks away. It is a recent addition to the vibrant Phoenix live entertainment scene, which already includes the 19,000-seat US Airways Center (home of the NBA Phoenix Suns and the WNBA Phoenix Mercury), the 48,500-seat Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks), the intimate 1,400-seat Orpheum Theater as well as several other performance venues.

“It is one of the preeminent live entertainment venues in the Western United States...”

Completed in 2002, the Dodge Theatre was developed pursuant to a Development and Operating Agreement with The City of Phoenix that gave Seller the right to both develop the Property and operate it as a live entertainment venue. A separate agreement also gives Seller the right to operate a majority of the adjacent 1,700-space parking garage during events at the theater. In addition, Seller entered into an agreement with Live Nation in 2006 to operate the theater. Live Nation Entertainment is the largest producer of live music concerts in the world, connecting over 52 million live music fans with live acts at approximately 22,000 events in 42 countries around the world. In its capacity as operator of the Dodge Theatre, Live Nation Entertainment handles all day-to-day operations of the theater, including securing performers for events, advertising events and procuring third party vendors to operate the various activities during events (which include concessions, merchandising and security). Its recent merger with Ticketmaster combines the leading concert business with the leading ticketing operator, creating a premier live entertainment giant that reaches over 60 million fans.

The Dodge Theatre offers a successful buyer the opportunity to control one of Phoenix’s premier entertainment facilities. Some of the highlights include:

• A growing industry segment. The live entertainment sector of the music industry has been the strongest over the past several years, providing enhanced revenue opportunities for performers who have seen a decline in the sales of recorded music. Gross concert revenue in North America increased from $3.9 billion in 2007 to $4.6 billion in 2009, which equates to a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9%.

• Strong major metropolitan area. Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the United States, with forecasted annual population growth of 2.5% over the next 10 years and a diverse economy poised for recovery.

• Strong venue operator. Live Nation Entertainment is the world’s premier live entertainment company, reaching 60 million fans annually, and will continue to draw the top quality performers to Phoenix.

• Stable cash fl ow. PDT currently collects annual fees from its contract with Live Nation. The majority of the fee is fi xed per the contract and an additional portion may be paid based on the operating performance of the theater. All costs associated with the operation of the theater and garage are the responsibility of Live Nation.

• High barriers to entry. Live entertainment venues are not built frequently and often require a great deal of cooperation between public and private entities, whose successful negotiations, approval and completion often take decades to complete.

• Constraint of supply. Lack of available land for construction of new facilities and required parking, as well as high construction costs, limit the supply of live entertainment venues in the Phoenix area.

• Successful public-private partnership. The project is an example of a collaborative process between the Seller and the City of Phoenix, resulting in a thriving development that has had a positive impact on the community.

• New construction, state-of-the-art facility. The theater was completed in 2002 and offers audiences the latest technology and excellent acoustics.

• Proximity to several transportation options. The theater has easy access to Interstate 10 and 17 and is located three blocks from a light rail stop.

• Live entertainment venues are important to the Downtown Phoenix economy. This is evidenced by the success of US Airways Center and Chase Field.

• Strong tourism industry. Phoenix is a robust tourism market that offers more than 60,000 hotel rooms that accommodate 13 to 15 million visitors annually. The strength of Phoenix tourism is rooted in its climate which is temperate for nine months of the year, which allows for year round golf and other leisure activities.

Exceptional lifestyle and career opportunities have made Greater Phoenix one of the most attractive areas in the country. Now the fi fth largest metropolitan area in the United States, Phoenix has undergone a fundamental change as a result of signifi cant technological advances. The area has grown from a humble western community to a highly developed and diverse community that is home to nearly 4.34 million residents. In addition to business-friendly characteristics such as projected population growth of 2.5% per year over the next 10 years and a diverse economic base poised for recovery, Metropolitan Phoenix is a thriving tourist destination. The strength of Phoenix tourism is rooted in its climate which is temperate for nine months of the year, allowing for year round golf and drives demand for the live entertainment industry. With a penchant for sports, Phoenix is one of 13 U.S. cities with franchises in all four major professional sports leagues: Phoenix Suns (NBA), Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB), Arizona Cardinals (NFL), and Phoenix Coyotes (NHL). In addition to sports, the live entertainment industry is buoyed by several performing arts venues in addition to The Dodge Theatre.
