Dear Tad:

Thank you for allowing Bernardon the opportunity to be considered for the design of a new warehouse to be located
at 104 Guilford College Road in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Bernardon has designed over 13 million square feet of industrial space, including warehouses, manufacturing
facilities, and distribution centers. Our experienced team uses an innovative approach to help our clients navigate all
of the challenges of today’s industrial market and organize complex spaces that are safe, effective, and optimized for
our clients. As the demand for shipping services continues to skyrocket – in part due to the ever-growing influence
of e-commerce and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic – the industrial market has seen major growth over
the past few years, especially for warehouses and distribution centers. As e-commerce continues to transform the
way we shop, the demand for larger distribution centers also continues to grow. Not only are distribution centers
expanding in size, but their locations have shifted, too. To meet the demand of the delivery of consumer goods,
many warehouses have traditionally been placed closer to where people live. While warehouse distribution centers
continue to be developed closer to interstates to have easier access to roadways, they are also being developed closer
to dense population centers to enhance last-mile distribution services. Among the consistent development within
the industrial market, there is also the growing potential for the repositioning of existing industrial buildings.

These observations and our in depth understanding of the industrial market is derived from our extensive experience
and first-hand knowledge designing industrial buildings ranging in size from 100,000 SF to 1,800,000 SF. We are
confident that our team can help Equus Development, L.P. continue to thrive in this market, and look forward to
the opportunity of sharing our knowledge and experience with you.
