In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of security-holders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In this case, however, there is no established public trading market for the Units and, therefore, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will materially further restrict the Limited Partners' ability to find purchasers for their Units through secondary market transactions. See Section 13 for certain limited information regarding recent secondary market sales of the Units. The Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file periodic reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy rules. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will cause the Units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the Units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership could apply to de-register the Units under the Exchange Act. Because the Units are widely held, however, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) believes that, even if it purchases the maximum number of Units in the Offer, after that purchase the Units will be held of record by more than 300 persons. Control of Limited Partner Voting Decisions by Purchaser; Effect of Relationship with General Partner. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner has absolute discretion as to whether to admit an assignee of Units to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will seek to be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon consummation of the Offer and, if admitted, will have the right to vote each Unit purchased pursuant to the Offer. Even if the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) is not admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser nonetheless will have the right to vote each Unit purchased in the Offer pursuant to the irrevocable appointment by tendering Limited Partners of the Purchaser and its managers and designees as proxies with respect to the Units tendered by such Limited Partners and accepted for payment by the Purchaser. See Section 3. As a result, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) could be in a position to significantly influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. In general, IPLP and the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the General Partner) will vote the Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of IPT, which, because of their relationship with the General Partner, also may be in the best interest of the General Partner, but may not be in the best interest of other Limited Partners. This could (i) prevent non-tendering Limited Partners from taking action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii) enable IPT to take action desired by IPT but opposed by non-tendering Limited Partners. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters including: removal of the General Partner and in certain circumstances election of a new or successor general partner; dissolution of the Partnership; and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement. The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation payable to the General Partner or its affiliates. However, as a result of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will participate, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, in any subsequent distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters including: removal of the Managing General Partner or the other non-managing general partners and in certain circumstances election of a new or successor managing general partnerpartner or non-managing general partners; sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership; dissolution of the Partnership; and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement. The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation payable to the Managing General Partner or its affiliates. However, as a result of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) will participate, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, in any subsequent distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of security-holders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In this case, however, there is no established public trading market for the Class A Units and, therefore, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will materially further restrict the Limited Partners' ability to find purchasers for their Class A Units through secondary market transactions. See Section 13 for certain limited information regarding recent secondary market sales of the Class A Units. The Class A Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file periodic reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy rules. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will cause the Class A Units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the Class A Units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership could apply to de-register the Class A Units under the Exchange Act. Because the Class A Units are widely held, however, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) believes that, even if it purchases the maximum number of Class A Units in the Offer, after that purchase the Class A Units will be held of record by more than 300 persons. Control of Limited Partner Voting Decisions by Purchaser; Effect of Relationship with General Partner. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner has absolute discretion as to whether to admit an assignee of Class A Units to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will seek to be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon consummation of the Offer and, if admitted, will have the right to vote each Class A Unit purchased pursuant to the Offer. Even if the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) is not admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser nonetheless will have the right to vote each Class A Unit purchased in the Offer pursuant to the irrevocable appointment by tendering Limited Partners of the Purchaser and its managers and designees as proxies with respect to the Class A Units tendered by such Limited Partners and accepted for payment by the Purchaser. See Section 3. As a result, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) could be in a position to significantly influence the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Because IPT already owns (through IPLP) approximately 26% of the outstanding Class A Units, however, it will be able to significantly influence the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership regardless of the number of Class A Units the Purchaser acquires pursuant to the Offer. In general, IPLP and the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the General Partner) will vote the Class A Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of IPT, which, because of their relationship with the General Partner, also may be in the best interest of the General Partner, but may not be in the best interest of other Limited Partners. This could (i) prevent non-tendering Limited Partners from taking action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii) enable IPT to take action desired by IPT but opposed by non-tendering Limited Partners.

See Section 3. As a result, If the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) could is successful in acquiring more than 20,176 Units pursuant to the Offer (or otherwise), IPT (which controls the General Partner, IPLP and the Purchaser) will own in excess of 50% of the total outstanding Units and, as a result, will be in able to control the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Even if the Purchaser acquires a position lesser number of Units pursuant to the Offer, however, because IPT already owns (through IPLP) approximately 40% of the outstanding Units, it will be able to significantly influence the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.

Even if the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) is not admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser nonetheless will have the right to vote each Unit purchased in the Offer pursuant to the irrevocable appointment by tendering Limited Partners of the Purchaser and its managers and designees as proxies with respect to the Units tendered by such Limited Partners and accepted for payment by the Purchaser. See Section 3. As a result, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) could be in a position to significantly influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. In general, IPLP and the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the General Partner) will vote the Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of IPT, which, because of their relationship with the General Partner, also may be in the best interest of the General Partner, but may not be in the best interest of other Limited Partners. This could (i) prevent non-tendering Limited Partners from taking action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii) enable IPT to take action desired by IPT but opposed by non-tendering Limited Partners. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters matters, including: removal of the General Partner or an individual general partner and in certain circumstances election of a new or successor general partnerpartners; dissolution of the Partnership; the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership; and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement. The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation payable to the General Partner or its affiliates. However, as a result of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will participate, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, in any subsequent distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of security-holders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In this case, however, there is no established public trading market for the Units and, therefore, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will materially further restrict the Limited Partners' ability to find purchasers for their Units through secondary market transactions. See Section 13 for certain limited information regarding recent secondary market sales of the Units. The Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file periodic reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy rules. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will cause the Units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the Units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership could apply to de-register the Units under the Exchange Act. Because the Units are widely held, however, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) believes that, even if it purchases the maximum number of Units in the Offer, after that purchase the Units will be held of record by more than 300 persons.

This could (i) prevent non-tendering Limited Partners from taking action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii) enable IPT to take action desired by IPT but opposed by non-tendering Limited Partners. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters matters, including: removal of the General Partner and in certain circumstances election of a new or successor general partner; dissolution of the Partnership; the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership; and most types of amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement. The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation payable to the General Partner or its affiliates. However, as a result of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will participate, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, in any subsequent distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

of the Exchange Act. If a substantial number of Units are purchased pursuant to the Offer, the result will be a reduction in the number of Limited Partners. In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of security-holders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In this case, however, there is no established public trading market for the Units and, therefore, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will materially further restrict the Limited Partners' ability to find purchasers for their Units through secondary market transactions. See Section 13 for certain limited information regarding recent secondary market sales of the Units. The Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file periodic reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy rules. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will cause the Units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the Units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership could apply to de-register the Units under the Exchange Act. Because the Units are widely held, however, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) believes that, even if it purchases the maximum number of Units in the Offer, after that purchase the Units will be held of record by more than 300 persons. Control of Limited Partner Voting Decisions by Purchaser; Effect of Relationship with General Partner. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner has absolute discretion as to whether to admit an assignee of Units to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner. The Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will seek to be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon consummation of the Offer and, if admitted, will have the right to vote each Unit purchased pursuant to the Offer. Even if the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) is not admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, however, the Purchaser nonetheless will have the right to vote each Unit purchased in the Offer pursuant to the irrevocable appointment by tendering Limited Partners of the Purchaser and its managers and designees as proxies with respect to the Units tendered by such Limited Partners and accepted for payment by the Purchaser. See Section 3. As a result, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) could be in a position to significantly influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. In generalBecause IPT already owns (through IPLP) approximately 25% of the outstanding Units, IPLP and however, it will be able to significantly influence the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership regardless of the number of Units the Purchaser (which are affiliates of acquires pursuant to the General Partner) will vote the Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of IPT, which, because of their relationship with the General Partner, also may be in the best interest of the General Partner, but may not be in the best interest of other Limited PartnersOffer.

See Section 3. As a result, If the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) could is successful in acquiring more than 24,150.5 Units pursuant to the Offer (or otherwise), IPT (which controls the General Partner, IPLP and the Purchaser) will own in excess of 50% of the total outstanding Units and, as a result, will be in able to control the outcome of almost all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership, other than decisions concerning a position "roll-up" transaction prior to January 1, 2000. Even if the Purchaser acquires a lesser number of Units pursuant to the Offer, however, because IPT already owns (through IPLP) approximately 20.8% of the outstanding Units it will be able to significantly influence the outcome of almost all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. In general, IPLP and the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the General Partner) will vote the Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of IPT, which, because of their relationship with the General Partner, also may be in the best interest of the General Partner, but may not be in the best interest of other Limited Partners.

However, under the terms of the Stipulation (as defined in Section 13), the General Partner is required to prohibit the Partnership from entering into a "roll-up" transaction involving the General Partner or any of its affiliates prior to January 1, 2000 unless such "roll-up" transaction is approved by Limited Partners holding at least a majority of the outstanding Units not held by persons affiliated with the General Partner. IPLP and the Purchaser (which are affiliates of the General Partner) will vote the Units owned by them in whatever manner they deem to be in the best interests of IPT, which, because of their relationship with the General Partner, also may be in the interest of the General Partner, but may not be in the interest of other Limited Partners. The Offer will not result in any change in the compensation payable to the General Partner or its affiliates. However, as a result of the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the General Partner) will participate, in its capacity as a Limited Partner, in any subsequent distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.
