We are a family owned and operated company since April 16, 1992. We operated proudly under the D.BA. Skyline Deli and have a successful proven track record in managing and operating a first class delicatessen. We are interested in expanding our current base of operations and ask you to review this profile to acquaint yourself with us. Included is this profile is our different company logos, financial statements, Skyline coupons and certificates, Skyline menu, Pictures of current locations, and reference letters from customers and building management companies. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. We are ready to discuss our interest in expanding with you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, MASAD BABA Owner/Head of Operations Skyline Deli 3|P age History Masad N. Baba has been in the deli business since 1988 when he first opened Greens Park Deli. Greens Park Deli was the place where lessons were learned and understanding the unique aspects of the food industry were obtained. He then followed in 1989 opening Tower Park Deli. These first two establishments were the foundation and learning experience to what is now Skyline Deli. Skyline Deli opened in 1992 in the Houston Club Building located in downtown Houston. This particular location is still the backbone of the company. New menu items and ideas are first tested at this particular location. There has been over 10 Skyline Deli's which have either been franchised or sold. Masad N. Baba currently owns 6 locations in the Houston downtown and Galleria area. They are located at: 1) The Houston Club at 811 Rusk, in the downtown tunnel, 2) 2000 West Loop South, 3) 5151 San Felipe, 4) 1177 West Loop South, 5) 3000 Post Oak in the Bechtel Building and 6) 9700 Bissonnett. Clean, Fresh, Quality and Honesty For 18 years the key to our success was our approach towards the business. Four policies dictated our work: clean, fresh, quality, and honesty. We take pride in the cleanliness of our establishments. For example, our utensils after 10 years of use still maintained a new shine about them. In addition, we never compromised the freshness of our foods. From the cheeses, meats, fruits, and vegetables, customers were assured they were getting fresh market products. The quality was also top notch. We never bended our conviction when dealing with food distributors; we always demanded the best. Finally, we are simply honest and friendly people. We exude a comfortable and inviting aura to our place of business. Customers would sometimes be short of change or simply may have failed to bring the balance back at a later time ... they always did. In short, these four guiding principles lead to an enjoyable and memorable work experience. Uniqueness: Breads, Salads What differentiates Skyline Deli from other deli's is the round top bread and made to order tossed salads. The breads are baked fresh in house every morning, and the choices consist of white, wheat, rye, and butter top wheat. (See picture inside). The muffaletta bread, sliced wheat and white is also baked daily but delivered to us by Ashcraft European Bakery early each morning. Furthermore, the distinguishing element of our salads is we assemble the salad according to the customers wants and mix the salad for them making every bite an equal in flavor. 4|P age Capability Skyline Deli & Food Court has the ability to serve different styles of foods, from hot meals made from scratch on a daily basis to hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, fries, and pizzas by the slice, fresh made to order salads, soups and baked potatoes. Owning and running several food concepts such as Skyline Deli, Rocket City Café & Grill and Olivia’s Pizzeria gives us the experience and knowledge that we need to handle a diverse clientele. We pride ourselves on knowing that each customer's order is processed on an average of 3 minutes or less. In addition, Skyline Deli has done catering jobs for large corporate functions. J.P. Morgan Chase has used Skyline to cater for approximately 2,000 people in their sponsorship for "Global Days of America" and the "March of Dimes." We have also catered to Pennzoil as they provided breakfast and lunch to their 800 employees each day of the week for Employee Appreciation. Conclusion With our 18 years of experience, our 4 guiding principles: Clean. Fresh, Quality, Honesty and our reach in the Houston deli and grill market, we feel that Skyline Deli & Food Court would be an amenity to any first class building. Our ability to custom fit the Skyline Deli concept to your building it’s what makes us a perfect fit for any Landlord. 5|P age The State of Texas Secretary of State FEB 24, 1997 MASAD BABA (SKYLINE DELI & GRILL, INC) 6111 BEVERLY HILL STREET #30 HOUSTON, TX 77057 RE: SKYLINE DELI & GRILL, INC.

They work as a team and complement one another very well. As for the food at this store, the deli meat sandwiches are superbly made. There is a larger breakfast variety than that of the previous Wall Street Deli. The same applies to the soups and salads. The salad display always looks nice & neat and very enticing. I see many of the same customers, myself included, every day at this store. People do return again and again to a place where enjoy eating.

In August we stared ordering lunches for our Monday investment meetings. For the first 3-4 Mondays the lunches were ordered from one of your competitors in the tunnel because of their closer proximity to us. Their delivery time and correctness of our order was highly lacking. Since early September, we have been ordering lunches for our investment meetings on Mondays from Skyline Deli and have been very pleased with the delivery time and the correctness of our orders. The food is always fresh and delicious. Michelle listens and is always pleasant when she takes our order. On one occasion I simply forgot that it was Friday and Michelle, being very conscientious, called and checked with me if we needed to order for the following Monday. Thank you Michelle! Michelle and the lady that delivers for you are always pleasant and very helpful. It has been a pleasure having your deli service us. I look forward to a long and very pleasant continuance.

BOX 2967 - HOUSTON TEXAS 77252-2967 • (713) 546-4000 October 7, 1994 To Whom It May Concern: Since Skyline Deli has opened, it has shown to be a breakfast and lunch time restaurant that has both good food and excellent service. Having to order a variety of lunch items for my department can be a challenge! Using Skyline Deli, I can be sure that my orders will be accurate, timely and prepared with top quality food products. With one eye on the departmental budget - their prices help too. It goes without saying their management takes great pride in serving nothing but the freshest foods, and you are sure to always get service with a smile! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend utilizing their entire menu the next time you need full service catering. Sincerely, Lisa E. Kubicek Lisa E. Kubicek Department Administrator 38 | P a g e March 24, 1995 RE: Skyline Deli To Whom It May Concern: Paragon Group Property Services, Inc. is the management and leasing company for 24 Greenway Plaza (Weslayan Tower). Skyline Deli took over the eating facility at Weslayan Tower in November of 1994. They have vastly improved the selection and quality of food and offer catering services, all of which have illicited great feedback from our tenants and their visitors. Paragon's own corporate management team has weekly meetings which are generally catered by our deli to the satisfaction of everyone. Skyline's staff is always friendly and eager to serve their patrons which has contributed to their success. Skyline Deli is certainly an asset to our building. The same ownership operates Imperial Deli at 363 North Belt which is managed by Paragon. Our staff at that location has indicated the same pleasure that we have experienced with the deli operation. If we may answer any questions for you, please feel free to call me or any of my staff at 871-1244. Sincerely, C. Peyton Collins V.P.
