ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS
Β
The following are exceptions to the representations given by IPC REIT in Section 4.1(j) of the Agreement:
Β
Hurricane Xxxxxxx
Β
Operations at the Energy Centre in New Orleans were impacted as a result of Hurricane Xxxxxxx in August 2005 and the subsequent flooding to the city. The visible physical damage to this building consists primarily of damage to the curtainwall and window systems. A complete evaluation was performed and forwarded to Chubb Insurance (βChubbβ). The cost of full repair will not be known until the drawings are completed and the scope is competitively bid. The costs of full repair are expected to be significant; however, costs in excess of the deductible are expected to be covered by insurance.
Β
Chubb and IPC REIT have agreed to the repair/replacement scope for all window glasses and frames. IPC REIT has selected, and the carrier has approved, Faithful Xxxxx as the project management firm and Verges Rome as the architect for the entire repair scope. The repairs are estimated to take between 12 to 18 months after a contractor has been selected to perform the repair works. Construction is projected to begin in December, 2007.
Β
Temporary window repairs, the repairs to the main roof and assorted balcony roofs and the replacement of the balcony access doors have been completed. The replacement of the roof top louvers, the lobby granite and the guard desk are currently underway and are scheduled to be completed in September, 2007.
Β
IPC REIT has mitigated the business interruption costs by allowing tenants to re-occupy their leased premises as of November 1, 2005 at reduced rental rates of 90% of their contractual base rents. Rents will return to contracted amounts once the building is fully restored. IPC REIT is not aware of any issues related to its tenants that would be considered material.
Β
IPC REIT continues to negotiate with Chubb regarding the possibility that only the $2.7 million deductible applies against IPC REITβs claim. IPC REIT awaits Chubbβs reply to its position. This would be a cost savings of approximately $330,000.
Β
IPC REITβs insurance claim adjustment process is still ongoing due to the complexity of the issues involved. However, IPC REIT anticipates recovery of all material amounts related to the restoration and business interruption costs of Energy Centre in excess of its deductible noted above.
Β

Β
000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx
Β
Xx November 14, 2006, IPC REIT discovered an oil leak at 000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx. IPC REIT engaged consultants to assist with the initial containment to prevent further infiltration into the garage drainage system and to collect test samples in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency. IPC REIT has completed the initial containment, obtained approval and removed the underground tank. Soil testing was performed and backfill was authorized for the excavated area. Soil testing for the area of the tank lines has been completed and a report recommending a specific clean up scope was submitted for approval by governmental authorities. Costs for the remaining clean up are not expected to be significant based upon current information. A new aboveground storage tank has been installed for the emergency generator and all necessary permits and approvals have been obtained accordingly.
Β
Edgewater, Staten Island, NY
Β
On April 11, 2007, IPC New York Properties, LLC received a Summons from the State of New York Fire Department to appear in court on June 6, 2007. The action is due to the failure by IPC New York Properties, LLC to have its fire panel certified and as such it is in violation of the Fire Commissionerβs Order.
Β
IPC New York Properties, LLC was represented by its legal counsel at the June 6, 2007 hearing. The case has been continued to allow IPC New York Properties, LLC to make the necessary repairs such that the fire panel can be certified.
Β
Prior to the hearing, three bids were obtained to replace the fire panel in order to comply with the Fire Commissionerβs Order. Simplex Xxxxxxxx was selected to perform the replacement work at a cost of $672,530. The replacement is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter. This amount is included in the schedule of capital expenditures projects in process as set forth under Section 5.1(e)(x) of this Disclosure Letter.
Β
Although currently unknown, it is anticipated that a fine, if any, for the non-compliance will be immaterial because IPC New York Properties, LLC has been proactive and diligent in the approach to resolve the matter.
Β
Sale of Normandie Village
Β
On April 4, 2007, a lawsuit was filed by seven of the twelve Existing Regular Limited Partners (as defined in the third amendment partnership agreement dated September 1, 1998 (the βAgreementβ) of Normandie Village Associates, L.P. (the βPartnershipβ)) against IPC Retail Properties Management, Inc. (the βGeneral Partnerβ) and the Partnership, and a summon was served on April 10, 2007. The Existing Regular Limited Partners comprise 1% of the total limited partnership interests, IPC Retail Holdings, LLC holds a 48% limited partnership interest, IPC Realty, LLC holds a 50% limited partnership interest and the General Partner holds a 1% general partnership interest.
Β
The plaintiffs allege breach of contract, claiming that the General Partner failed to offer Normandie Village to the limited partners for purchase under the limited partnersβ right of first refusal. Normandie Village was sold by IPC REIT in December 2005 for $9.5 million. The
Β
14
Β
plaintiffs have stated that the amount of damages is unknown and have placed an upper limit of their damage claim at $10 million.

Β
β’Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β A parcel next to the building was the location of a former gas relief plant used to store manufactured gas. Demolition of the gas plant occurred in the spring of 1959. Key Span (βKey Spanβ), a division of Key Span Energy, is the current owner of the property. Key Span is a public gas utility and supplies gas to four of New Yorkβs boroughs, including Staten Island. The site has been used in recent years as storage for new cars.
Β
β’Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β IPC was contacted in March 2004 by Key Span, working in conjunction with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (βNYSDECβ) and Department of Health (βNYDOHβ) requesting access to the property, primarily the parking lot, to conduct testing to determine if the property had been environmentally impacted by the operation of the former gas plant.
Β
β’Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β A site-access agreement to place monitoring xxxxx necessary to test in specific areas six months in duration was signed and testing was performed. The Edgewater soil boring and ground water samples were collected and analyzed. Preliminary test results have been received and it appears as if the soil and ground water has been contaminated with coal and tar and coal/tar byproducts.
Β
β’Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β A subsequent site-access agreement was executed September 12, 2006 to test other areas closer to the building to further identify the extent of the contamination. The xxxxx were installed the week of November 20, 2006 and testing is ongoing.
Β
β’Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β NYSDEC and NYSDOH have proposed a remedial action plan to address hazardous waste contamination at the site, which includes the construction of a barrier containment wall to a depth of approximately 125 feet below ground surface. At present, this plan has not been approved.
Β
β’Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In May 2005, an agreement with Key Span, IPC and Barclays memorialized Key Spanβs commitment to address contamination emanating from the former site. Key Span agreed to be responsible for payment to the extent required by the NYSDEC, the NYSDOH and any other administrative agency having jurisdiction over the site and to perform all investigations and remedial activities at the Edgewater property required to address the contamination.

The Energy Centre is insured up to $100 million in respect of wind damage and up to the full replacement cost for other insurable events. IPC REIT used all commercially reasonable efforts in obtaining such insurance coverage, and such coverage is standard for commercial properties in the New Orleans area post-Hurricane Xxxxxxx.

As a result of these two audit adjustments, the 2004 Pennsylvania tax liability is expected to increase from $28,934 to $375,350, resulting in a net increase of $346,416. IPC REIT had already established a reserve for 2004 Pennsylvania income tax liabilities amounting to $290,000 above the original liability of $28,934. There is a sufficient general income tax reserve available to absorb the remaining difference. IPC REIT has not decided whether to challenge these adjustments.
Β
On March 28, 2007, Holdings was provided with an updated preliminary audit summary. The updated summary disclosed the expected 2004 tax liability as $400,650, as opposed to $375,350 listed on the original preliminary report. The $25,300 increase in tax is a result of an adjustment to the Pennsylvania apportionment percentage.
Β
On July 11, 2007, Holdings was provided with an official settlement statement. IPC REIT has decided not to challenge the tax liability of $375,350 set out in the original preliminary report, but plans to file a petition to challenge the additional $25,300 increase in tax. IPC REIT has contacted the Revenue Department and is aiming to conclude the tax audit during the third quarter of 2007.

Louisville Tax Audit
Β
On October 3, 2006, IPC Realty LLC (βRealtyβ) received notices from the Louisville Metro Revenue Commission requesting amended returns for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 reflecting adjustments set out in the notices as well as supporting documentation for certain amounts listed on the original returns. Realty subsequently filed amended returns for the years 2002 through 2005 and paid an additional $96,308 in income taxes.
Β

Β
On May 30, 2007 and August 9, 2007, Realty received additional requests for information regarding the amended returns. The amount of tax due to the City of Louisville could increase up to an additional $160,000 above the amounts previously paid.
