ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

4.1                               Representations
and Warranties of the Sellers.

 

The Sellers
(but as to PRF and BR only to the limited extent that they respectively give
representations and warranties in sections 4.1(b), (c), (e) and (f)) hereby
represent and warrant that, except as disclosed in the Disclosure Letter and
the Filed CSA Documents:

 

(a)           Organization,
Standing and Corporate Power. IPC REIT and each of its Subsidiaries has
been duly formed or incorporated, as the case may be, under applicable Law, is
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization and has the requisite power or similar power and authority to own,
lease and operate its properties and assets and conduct its business as
currently owned and conducted. IPC REIT and each of its Subsidiaries are duly
qualified or licensed to do business and are in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of their business or the ownership or leasing
of their properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in
such jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in
good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. IPC REIT has made available to
Buyer complete and correct copies of its Declaration of Trust and the
organizational documents of each of IPC REIT’s Subsidiaries. The Declaration of
Trust and the organizational documents of each of IPC REIT’s Subsidiaries are
in full force and effect and no dissolution, revocation or forfeiture
proceeding regarding IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries has been commenced.
Neither IPC REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of any of
the provisions of its Declaration of Trust or organizational documents, as the
case may be.

 

(b)           Authority; No
Conflict. Each of IPC REIT and PRF has the requisite trust or corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder. BR has the capacity to enter into this Agreement and to perform his
obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of

 

21

 

this Agreement
by each of IPC REIT and PRF and the consummation by each of IPC REIT and PRF of
the Transactions have been duly authorized by the Board and by the board of
directors of PRF, respectively, and no other proceedings on the part of IPC
REIT or PRF are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the Transactions,
other than: (i) with respect to the Circular and other documents relating
thereto, the approval of the Board; and (ii) Unitholder Approval. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Sellers and
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of, and enforceable against, each of
them in accordance with its terms subject to the usual exceptions as to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium and
other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and the availability of
equitable remedies. The execution and delivery by each of the Sellers of this
Agreement, the performance by each of them of their respective obligations
hereunder and the completion of the Transactions will not result directly or
indirectly (with or without notice, the passage of time or both) in a
violation, default or breach by any of them of, require any consent to be
obtained or filing to be made by any of the Sellers under, or constitute a
default under any provision of, conflict with, or give rise to any termination,
cancellation or acceleration rights or other materially adverse consequence
under any provision of, or result in the creation of a material Lien upon any
of the properties or assets of IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries, under:

 

(i)        the Declaration of Trust, on
the assumption however that the Unitholder Approval is obtained, or constating
documents of PRF or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of IPC REIT;

 

(ii)       any Law applicable to any of
IPC REIT or its Subsidiaries, PRF or BR, on the assumption however that the
Regulatory Approvals disclosed in the Disclosure Letter are obtained; or

 

(iii)      any material Contract,
agreement, license, franchise or permit by which IPC REIT or its Subsidiaries,
PRF or BR is bound or is subject or is the beneficiary, on the assumption
however that the Required Contractual Consents disclosed in the Disclosure
Letter are obtained.

 

Insofar as the representation and warranty
in this section 4.1(b) relates to the authority of PRF, the approval and execution
of this Agreement by, and enforceability hereof against, PRF and the absence of
conflict with agreements binding upon or Laws applicable to PRF, PRF joins in
making this representation and warranty. Insofar as the representation and
warranty in this section 4.1(b) relates to the legal capacity of BR, the
approval and execution of this Agreement by, and enforceability hereof against,
BR and the absence of conflict with agreements binding upon or Laws applicable
to BR, BR joins in making this representation and warranty.

 

22

 

(c)           Authorizations.
All Authorizations that IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries are required to
obtain that are related to the carrying on their respective businesses as
currently operated, or the ownership or operation of their respective
properties and assets, have been obtained and are currently valid, in full
force and effect and in good standing in all respects, except for
Authorizations the failure of which to have or to be valid, in full force and
effect or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no Authorization or
declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Entity which has not
been received or made that is required to be made or obtained by IPC REIT, PRF
or BR in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by them,
the performance of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions, except (i) in connection with the Regulatory Approvals
disclosed in the Disclosure Letter and (ii) the filing with the Canadian
Securities Administrators and the Toronto Stock Exchange of the Circular.

 

Insofar as the representation and warranty
in this section 4.1(c) relates to the Authorizations, declarations, filings or
notices relating to PRF and BR, PRF and BR, respectively, join in making this
representation and warranty.

all of IPC REIT’s Subsidiaries and, except for such Subsidiaries, neither IPC
REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries owns, directly or indirectly, any interest or
investment (whether equity or debt) in any other Person. All shares, units or
other ownership interests outstanding in each Subsidiary of NSULC (excluding
IPC Realty and IPC US, which for greater certainty are excluded here because
they are described in section 4.1(e)) have been duly authorized and issued and
are validly outstanding as fully paid and are non-assessable and were not

appreciation rights, phantom shares, profit participations or interests or
other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments (pre-emptive, contractual
or otherwise) obligating any Subsidiary of NSULC (excluding IPC Realty and IPC
US, which for greater certainty are excluded here because they are described in
section 4.1(e)): (i) to issue or sell any of its shares, units or other
ownership interests or securities or obligations of any kind convertible into
or exchangeable for any shares, units or other ownership interests of such
Subsidiary; or (ii) sell any shares, units or other ownership interests or
securities or obligations of any kind convertible into or exchangeable for any
shares, units or other ownership interests of any other Subsidiary of IPC REIT.

any nature or kind whatsoever other than the NSULC Preferred Shares.

 

(h)           Canadian Securities
Legislation. IPC REIT is a “reporting issuer” (or the equivalent) under
applicable Canadian securities legislation and is not in default of any
material requirements of any applicable securities Laws; no delisting,
suspension of trading in or cease trading order with respect to the Units is
pending or, to the knowledge IPC REIT, threatened. The Filed CSA Documents did
not contain a Misrepresentation as at the respective dates of such Filed CSA
Documents and constitute all filings required to be made under applicable
securities Laws. IPC REIT has not filed any confidential material change report
or similar disclosure document with the Canadian Securities Administrators or
the Toronto Stock Exchange which remains confidential as of the date of this
Agreement. IPC REIT has delivered to Buyer complete and correct copies of any

 

25

 

proposed or
contemplated amendments or modifications to the Filed CSA Documents that have
not been filed with the Canadian Securities Administration.

 

(i)            Financial

financial statements of IPC REIT which are publicly disseminated in respect of
any subsequent periods prior to the Closing Date shall be prepared) in
accordance with Canadian GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved (except as may otherwise be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly

Changes or Events; No Undisclosed Material Liabilities. Since December 31,
2006, except (i) as stated in any Filed CSA Documents, (ii) as stated in the
Disclosure Letter and (iii) for actions taken reasonably in good faith
accordance with their agreement to facilitate the consummation of the
Transactions: (A) each of IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries has conducted its
business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and there would
be no violation of sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) had such covenants been in effect
as of such date except as which would not, individually or in the aggregate, or
would not reasonably be expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect; (B) no
liability or obligation of any nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) has been incurred other than in the ordinary course consistent with
past practice and none of such liabilities and obligations would, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
and (C) there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect. Neither NSULC nor
any of its Subsidiaries is responsible for or guarantor of any indebtedness of
any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of NSULC).

 

(k)           Assets. Each of IPC REIT and its
Subsidiaries has good and valid title to their respective assets which are
consolidated in the material assets reflected in the latest consolidated
balance sheet of IPC REIT included in the Filed CSA Documents (other than any
such asset disposed of in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of
any and all Liens except (i) those reflected or reserved against in the latest
balance sheet of IPC REIT included in the Filed CSA Documents and listed in the
Disclosure Letter, (ii) Liens registered in any public registry system that
would not be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect and (iii) Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the consummation of the
Transactions, Buyer will own all of the assets, rights and interests of NSULC
and its Subsidiaries, which shall be sufficient to enable Buyer to operate the
business of NSULC and its Subsidiaries in substantially the same manner as it
was operated by IPC REIT prior to the date of this Agreement.

 

26

 

(l)            Litigation, etc. The Disclosure Letter

suits, claims, actions or proceedings pending and, to the knowledge of IPC
REIT, threatened against or relating to IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or
affecting any of their properties, assets or operations at law or equity or
before any Governmental Entity. There is no suit, claim, action or proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of IPC REIT, threatened against or relating to IPC
REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of their properties, assets or
operations at law or equity or before any Governmental Entity that, if
adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither IPC REIT nor any of its
Subsidiaries is subject to any outstanding material order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree or arbitration order or award.

 

(m)          Compliance with Applicable Law. Each of
IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries have complied for at least the past two years
with all applicable Laws, except for any non-compliance which would not
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither IPC REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notice of any violation of any applicable Laws, except for any violations which
would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

(n)           Brokers. No broker, investment banker,
financial advisor or other Person (assuming no soliciting dealers are engaged
with respect to the Unitholder Meeting or the defeasance of the Debentures) is entitled
to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or
commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by
or on behalf of IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries, other than RBC Dominion
Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and T.F. August Associates,
Inc., the fees and expenses of which will be paid by IPC REIT in accordance
with the terms of the engagement letters entered into with such parties, copies
of which have been provided to Buyer.

 

(o)           Insurance. IPC REIT or its Subsidiaries,
as applicable, is a named insured under all insurance policies maintained for
the properties of IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries, as applicable. IPC REIT and
its Subsidiaries maintains insurance coverage with reputable insurers in such
amounts and covering such risks which in the good faith judgment of IPC REIT
are reasonable for the business of IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries. Neither IPC
REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default as to payment of premiums under
the terms of any such insurance policy. Except as set out in the Disclosure
Letter or the Filed CSA Documents, no material claims have been made under such
insurance policies in the last three years. Seller has made available to Buyer
copies of all certificates of insurance, binders and insurance policies
maintained by IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries, or under which IPC REIT or
any of its Subsidiaries has been a beneficiary of coverage, at any time during
the past three years, together with a summary of any claims thereunder. NSULC
and its Subsidiaries are the owners of all insurance policies maintained for
the properties of NSULC and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and NSULC and its
Subsidiaries will be entitled to maintain such

 

27

 

insurance policies immediately following the
Closing upon the same terms and conditions as currently in effect.

 

(p)           Real Property.

Owned Properties and Leased Properties, and the August 8, 2007 rent rolls
pertaining thereto. Accurate copies of all Tenant Leases covering more than
25,000 square feet and of any and all material amendments, extensions and/or
additions thereto have been included in the Data Room Information. Except as
disclosed in the Disclosure Letter, there are no agreements, options, contracts
or commitments to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Owned Properties
or Leased Properties or to acquire or lease any other real property which would
restrict the ability of NSULC or the relevant Subsidiary of IPC REIT to
transfer its legal and/or beneficial interest in and to the whole or any part
of the Owned Properties or Leased Properties.

 

(ii)                    NSULC, through one of its Subsidiaries, (A) is the registered and
beneficial owner of the Owned Properties with good and marketable title thereto
in fee simple free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances,
and (B) is the tenant of the Leased Properties, subject to the terms of the Leases.
NSULC’s Subsidiaries have the exclusive right to possess, use, occupy and
dispose of the Owned Properties and Leased Properties, subject only to the
rights of the other parties to the Leases, the Tenant Leases and the Permitted
Encumbrances.

 

(iii)                 The
Owned Properties and Leased Properties and all buildings and structures located
thereon and the conduct of NSULC’s business and its Subsidiaries’ businesses as
presently conducted does not violate, and the use thereof in the manner in
which presently used is not adversely affected by, any zoning or building Laws
which, individually or in the aggregate have, or could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither IPC REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any notification alleging any such violation.

 

(iv)                No
Person (other than co-owners of the Owned Properties) has any right of first
refusal, right of first opportunity, option to purchase or any other right of
increased participation in any of the Owned Properties, or any part thereof.

 

(q)           No Default. Except as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, cause a Material Adverse Effect, none of IPC
REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of IPC REIT, any of the
other parties thereto, is in default under or in breach of any Lease, any
Tenant Lease (which, for purposes of this section 4.1(q), means a lease of
premises comprising at least 25,000 square feet), or any agreement in respect
of any debt obligation or any other material Contract (which,

 

28

 

for purposes of this section 4.1(q), means a
Contract providing for per annum payments of more than $500,000). To the
knowledge of IPC REIT, there exists no state of facts which after notice or
lapse of time or both would constitute a default or breach of any material
Contract. IPC REIT has delivered or made available accurate copies of all such
material Contracts.

 

(r)            Labour Matters.

 

(i)        IPC REIT has no employees
other than those employed by NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither IPC REIT
nor any of its Subsidiaries is party to or bound by any Contract which provides
for change in control, retention or similar payments, or any accelerated or
enhanced payment or benefit upon or in connection with the completion of the

Subsidiaries is a party to or currently negotiating any collective bargaining
agreement other than the collective bargaining agreements listed in the
Disclosure Letter (the “Collective Bargaining Agreements”), true, correct and
complete copies of which have been made available to Buyer. Except in respect
of the Collective Bargaining Agreements, no trade union, council of trade
unions, employee bargaining agency or affiliated bargaining agent holds
bargaining rights with respect to any of the employees of NSULC or any of its
Subsidiaries by way of certification, interim certification, voluntary recognition,
or succession rights or, to the knowledge of IPC REIT, has applied or
threatened to apply to be certified as the bargaining agent of any employees of

currently (A) any union organization activities involving any employees of
NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries, or any threats of such activities, (B) any
strikes or lockouts or work stoppages or other material labour disputes
affecting NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries or any threats of such labour
disputes, or (C) any charges of unfair labour practice (other than routine
individual grievances, that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.)

 

(iii)      There are no unfair labour practice
charges, grievances or complaints filed or, to the knowledge of IPC REIT,
threatened in writing by or on behalf of any employee or group of employees of
NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries that have not been settled or remedied that
would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

(iv)      There are no complaints, charges
or claims against NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries filed or, to the knowledge
of IPC REIT, threatened in writing to be brought or filed, with any
Governmental Entity or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with,
or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of employment of any
individual by NSULC

 

29

 

or any of its
Subsidiaries that have not been settled or remedied that if adversely decided
would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

(v)       With respect to employees of
NSULC and its Subsidiaries, (A) NSULC and each of its Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all laws relating to the employment of labour, including all
such laws relating to wages, hours, the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act (as amended, “WARN”) and any similar
state or local “mass layoff” or “plant closing” Law, collective bargaining,
discrimination, civil rights, safety and health, workers’ compensation and the
collection and payment of withholding and/or social security Taxes and any
similar Tax, except for any non-compliance that would not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect
and (B) there has been no “mass layoff” or “plant closing” as defined by WARN
with respect to NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries within the last six (6) months.

 

(vi)      All of the existing employees of
IPC US and its Subsidiaries are, to the knowledge of IPC REIT, legally
employable in the United States.

 

(s)           ERISA and Employee Plans.

 

(i)        The Data Room Information
lists all the employee benefit, health, welfare, pension, bonus, profit
sharing, deferred compensation, change of control arrangements, incentive
compensation, stock compensation, stock option or purchase, severance, change
of control, retirement plans or arrangements, life or accidental insurance, hospitalization,
health, medical or dental treatment or expenses, disability, unemployment,
insurance benefits, employee loans, vacation pay, fringe benefit arrangements,
severance or termination pay or other benefit plan policy, agreement or
arrangement applicable to present or former employees, directors or trustees
(or any of their respective dependants or beneficiaries) of IPC REIT or any of
its Subsidiaries which are currently maintained or participated in by IPC REIT
or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to which, to the knowledge of IPC
REIT, IPC REIT, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates may have any liability (the “Employee Plans”). None of the Employee
Plans are established and maintained primarily to provide systematically for
the payment of a definitely determinable annuity to participants over a period
of time, after retirement or are otherwise defined benefit plans. None of the
Employee Plans of IPC US or its Subsidiaries provides for the participation of
any employees, directors or trustees (or to the knowledge of IPC REIT any of
their respective dependants or beneficiaries) resident outside of the United
States.

 

(ii)       All of the Employee Plans have
been administered and invested in all material respects in accordance with all
Laws applicable to the Employee

 

30

 

Plans. Each
Employee Plan which is an Employee Pension Benefit Plan and which is intended
to be qualified under Code section 401(a) is subject to a favourable
determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service which covers all
amendments to any such plan for which the remedial amendment period (within the
meaning of Code section 401(b) and applicable regulations) has expired and, to
the knowledge of IPC REIT, no event has occurred which will or could give rise
to disqualification of any such plan under such sections. No “prohibited
transaction,” within the meaning of section 4975 of the Code or sections 406 or
407 of ERISA, and not otherwise exempt under sections 4975 of the Code and
section 408 of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.

 

(iii)      Other than routine claims for
benefits and appeals of denied routine claims, there are no material actions,
suits, claims or proceedings, pending or, to the knowledge of IPC REIT,
threatened, relating to the Employee Plans and, to the knowledge of IPC REIT,
no fact or circumstance exists which could reasonably be expected to give rise
to any such action, claim or proceeding. To the knowledge of IPC REIT, there
are no audits, inquiries or proceedings pending or threatened by any
Governmental Entity with respect to any Employee Plan.

 

(iv)      Except for amendments that may
be required to maintain the Employee Plans in compliance with Code section 401(a)
and related sections and provisions of ERISA prior to the Closing Date, no
material amendments to any Employee Plan have been promised and no material
amendments to any Employee Plan will be made or promised prior to the Closing
Date which affect or pertain to the employees of IPC REIT or any of its
Subsidiaries or which, to the knowledge of IPC REIT, could cause liability to
IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(v)       All contributions (including
all employer contributions and employee salary reduction contributions) that
are due have been made to each Employee Benefit Plan that is an Employee
Pension Benefit Plan. All premiums or other payments that are due have been
paid with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan that is an Employee Welfare
Benefit Plan.

 

(vi)      Except as required by applicable
Laws, none of the Employee Plans, other than Employee Pension Benefit Plans,
provide benefits beyond retirement or other termination of service to employee
or former employees or to the beneficiaries or dependants of such employees.

 

(vii)     Neither IPC REIT nor any of its
Subsidiaries contributes to any “multiemployer plan” as defined in section
3(37) of ERISA.

 

(viii)    No Employee Plan contains any
provision that would prohibit the Transactions, would give rise to any
severance, termination or other payment as a result of the consummation of the
Transactions (alone or in

 

31

 

connection
with any other event) or would cause any payment, acceleration or increase in
benefits provided under any Employee Plan as a result of the Transactions
(alone or in connection with any other event).

 

(t)            Tax Matters.

 

(i)            Each of IPC REIT and its
Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Tax Returns required to be
filed by the Tax Act or the Code or by other applicable Tax Laws, other than
Income Tax Returns and Tax Returns in each case for which extensions have been
granted by the relevant taxing authorities. All Taxes due and owing by IPC REIT
or any of its Subsidiaries (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been
paid in full or will be paid in full by the due date thereof. There are no
Liens for Taxes (other than Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any of the
assets or properties of IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(ii)           Except as disclosed in the
Disclosure Letter, there is no material dispute or claim, including any audit,
investigation or examination by any taxing authority, actual, pending or, to
the knowledge of IPC REIT, threatened, concerning any Tax liability of IPC REIT
or any of its Subsidiaries, no written notice of such an audit, investigation,
examination, material dispute or claim has been received by IPC REIT or any of
its Subsidiaries, nor does IPC REIT have knowledge of any such audit,
investigation, examination, material dispute or claim based upon personal
contact with any agent of such taxing authority.

 

(iii)          Except as disclosed in the
Disclosure Letter, neither IPC REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries has requested,

filed) for which any of IPC REIT or its Subsidiaries is or may liable;

 

(C)       any of IPC REIT or its
Subsidiaries is required to pay or remit any Taxes or amounts on account of
Taxes (which have not since been paid or remitted); or

 

(D)      any Governmental Entity may
assess or collect Taxes for which any of the IPC REIT or its Subsidiaries is
liable.

 

(iv)          The unpaid Taxes of IPC REIT
and its Subsidiaries (A) did not, as of the most recently published
consolidated financial statement of IPC REIT,

 

32

 

exceed the
reserve for Tax liability (other than any reserve for deferred Taxes
established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) in that
financial statement and (B) will not exceed that reserve as adjusted for
operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with the
past custom and practice of IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries in reporting their income
in their Tax Returns.

 

(v)           Each of IPC REIT and its
Subsidiaries has duly and timely withheld from any amount paid or credited by
it to or for the account or benefit of any Person the amount of all Taxes and
other deductions required by any Laws to be withheld from any such amount and
has duly and timely remitted the same (or is properly holding for such
remittance) to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

 

(vi)          IPC REIT is a “mutual fund
trust” as defined in the Tax Act.

 

(vii)         Each of the Sellers is not a non-resident of Canada within the
meaning of the Tax Act.

 

(viii)        Neither IPC REIT nor any Subsidiary is a party to any Tax sharing or
similar agreement or arrangement other than any agreement or arrangement solely
between the IPC REIT and any Subsidiary, pursuant to which it will have any
obligation to make any payments after the Closing.

 

(ix)          Neither IPC REIT or any Subsidiary has requested a private letter
ruling from the US Internal Revenue Service or comparable rulings from other
taxing authorities.

 

(x)           Neither IPC REIT nor any Subsidiary has any liability for Taxes of
any Person other than IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries under Treasury Regulation
section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as
a successor or transferee or otherwise.

 

(xi)          Neither IPC REIT or any Subsidiary has participated in a “reportable
transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(b)(1).

 

(xii)         Neither IPC REIT or any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement,
arrangement, understanding or plan that has resulted, or would result in
connection with contemplated transactions or any change in control, in the
payment of any amount that would, by operation of section 280G of the Code, not
be deductible by the entity making such payment.

 

(xiii)        Neither IPC REIT or any Subsidiary has made or is obligated to make
any payment that would not be deductible pursuant to section 162(m) of the
Code.

 

33

 

(xiv)        As of the date hereof, IPC US and its Subsidiaries have no material
earnings and profits attributable to any year of such corporation within the
meaning of section 857 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder,
excluding for this purpose: (A) any earnings and profits of the following
corporations, for which “taxable REIT subsidiary” elections effective as of
March 31, 2007 have been timely filed: Wanamaker Retail Lease Manager, Inc.,
Wanamaker Office Lease GP, Inc., IPC United Plaza Management, Inc., IPC
Commercial Properties Management Inc., IPC Office Properties Management Inc.,
IPC XPark Properties Management Inc., IPC White Plains Properties Management
Inc., IPC NOI Management Inc., IPC Wanamaker GP, Inc., IPC Lexington Properties
Management Inc., IPC McDonald Properties Management Inc., and IPC Dallas GP
Inc.; (B) any earnings and profits of corporations that were included in the
consolidated return of IPC US for the year ending December 31, 2006, which
would be eliminated pursuant to the rule contained in the last sentence of
Treasury Regulation §1.1502-33(a)(2) in the event such corporations were to
transfer, or be deemed to transfer, their assets to IPC US in a liquidation to
which Code section 332 applies; and (C) earnings and profits of the following
corporations not in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate: IPC Florida II
Management Inc., IPC United Plaza Fee Manager Inc. and IPC Loop Central GP Inc.

 

(xv)         Each Subsidiary of IPC REIT that is a partnership, joint venture,
limited liability company or “foreign eligible entity” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-3(b)(2) has been since its formation
treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership or disregarded
entity, as the case may be, and not as a corporation or an association taxable
as a corporation or as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of
section 7704(b) of the Code.

 

(xvi)        Each arrangement or plan relating to any employee or service
provider of IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries that is subject to section 409A
of the Code has been operated in good faith compliance, in all respects, with
section 409A of the Code.

 

(xvii)      None of IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries has agreed, or is
required to make, any adjustment under section 481(a) of the Code (whether as a
result of the transactions set forth herein or otherwise) and there has been no
transaction or event (including but not limited to any receipt of a prepaid
amount or an instalment sale) which would result in income attributable to such
transaction or event being recognized for Tax purposes in a period following Closing.

 

(xviii)     For all taxable periods (and portions thereof) (A) none of the
Subsidiaries of IPC REIT has a “dual consolidated loss” within the meaning of
section 1503(d)(2) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations that is
subject to disallowance pursuant to section 1503(d) of the Code, (B) each of
the

 

34

 

Subsidiaries
of IPC REIT has been and continues to be in compliance with all applicable
Treasury Regulations that are required to be satisfied in order to prevent any “dual consolidated
loss” from being disallowed pursuant to section 1503(d) and applicable Treasury
Regulations, and (C) there has been no event or other occurrence that would
require the recapture of any “dual consolidated loss” pursuant to section
1503(d) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

 

(xix)        None of IPC REIT or any of the Subsidiaries has taken a reporting
position on a Tax Return, which reporting position (A) if not sustained would
be reasonably likely to give rise to a penalty for substantial understatement
of U.S. federal income Tax under section 6662 of the Code (or any similar
provision of state, provincial, local or foreign Tax Law), and (ii) has not
adequately been disclosed on such Tax Return in accordance with section
6662(d)(2)(B) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, provincial, local
or foreign Tax law).

 

(xx)         NSULC is and at all times  has
been a “disregarded entity” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

(xxi)        IPC Realty has never engaged in a “trade or business” in the United
States as that term is defined in section 864 of the Code, and has not
conducted any activity in a state or local taxing jurisdiction in the United
States that would result in the imposition of any state or local Tax on IPC
Realty.

 

(xxii)       IPC US is taxable as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, but for any current or subsequent election to be treated as a
REIT. IPC US maintains its books and records on the calendar year for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. IPC US has not previously made an election to be
taxed as a REIT within the five years preceding the Closing Date and had such
election revoked or terminated by the US Internal Revenue Service. IPC US has
not been operated as a bank, a financial institution, a small business
investment company operating under the United States Small Business Act of
1958, as amended, a business development corporation or an insurance company.
IPC US was not created by or pursuant to an act of a state legislature for the
purpose of promoting, maintaining or assisting the economy within the state by
making loans that generally would not be made by banks. IPC US at all times has
been managed by a board of directors. The beneficial ownership of IPC US has
been evidenced by common shares and IPC US Special Shares, which shares,
subject to applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, have not been
subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by IPC US, except as set forth
in the charter of IPC US and except for restrictions imposed by the
Shareholders Agreement and the KeyBank Facility.

 

(xxiii)     At the end of each quarter of the current taxable year, at least 75%
of the value of IPC US’s total assets has consisted of real estate assets, cash
and

 

35

 

cash items (i.e., receivables arising in the ordinary course of IPC US’s
operations, certificates of deposit), government securities, and, only during
the one-year period commencing on the date new capital is received, stock or
debt instruments attributable to the temporary investment of new capital. For
purposes of this section, shares in a money market fund (i.e.,
a regulated investment company) are considered an investment in “securities”
and not cash or a “cash item.”

 

(xxiv)      At the end of each quarter of the current taxable year, IPC US’s
total assets have not consisted of securities (other than obligations secured
by mortgages on real property, shares in other REITs, government securities) of
any one issuer (including debt securities of an issuer that is treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes) that represent either (A) more than
five percent of the value of IPC US’s total assets or (B) more than ten percent
of the voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such issuer,
other than in the case of the following issuers, for which taxable REIT
subsidiary elections have been filed: IPC Commercial Properties Management
Inc., IPC Office Properties Management Inc., IPC XPark Properties Management
Inc., IPC White Plains Properties Management Inc., IPC NOI Management Inc., IPC
Wanamaker GP, Inc., IPC Lexington Properties Management Inc., IPC McDonald
Properties Management Inc., IPC Dallas GP Inc., Wanamaker Retail Lease Manager,
Inc., Wanamaker Office Lease GP, Inc. and IPC United Plaza Management, Inc.

 

(xxv)       IPC US (A) holds all of its real property (other than that property
that constitutes Foreclosure Property), for the purpose of obtaining rental income
and long term appreciation and (B) does not hold any of its properties as
inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade
or business.

 

(xxvi)     At least 75% of IPC US’s gross income for the current taxable year
has been derived from (A) Rents From Real Property, (B) interest on obligations
secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property, (C) gain
from the sale or other disposition of real property held neither as inventory
nor primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or
business (such income derived from the sale or other disposition of real
property held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of a trade of business constituting “Prohibited Income”), (D) dividends
or other distributions on, and gain from the sale or other disposition of,
transferable shares of stock of other REITs, (E) abatements and refunds of
taxes on real property, (F) income from Foreclosure Property, (G) amounts
received or accrued as consideration for entering into agreements to make loans
secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property or to
purchase or lease real property (including interests in real property and
interests in mortgages on real property), (H) gain from the sale or disposition
of a Real Estate Asset which is not Prohibited Income and (I) any income

 

36

 

which is (i)
attributable to stock or a debt instrument, (ii) attributable to the temporary
investment of new capital derived from an issuance of stock or a public
offering of debt obligations with maturity dates of at least five years, and
(iii) received or accrued during the one-year period beginning on the date IPC
US received the capital. For the purposes of computing interest on obligations
secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property, the amount
shall not include any interest dependent in whole or in part upon the income or
profits of any person.

 

(xxvii)    At least 95% of IPC US’s gross income for the current taxable year
has been derived from sources described in section 4.1(t)(xxvi), plus (A)
dividends, (B) interest on obligations other than mortgages, (C) gain from the
sale or other disposition of stock and securities held neither as inventory nor
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a hade or business,
(D) abatements and refunds of taxes on real property, (E) income and gain
derived from Foreclosure Property that is not Prohibited Income, (F) amounts
received or accrued as consideration for entering into agreements (i) to make
loans secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property or
(ii) to purchase or lease real property (including interests in real property
and interests in mortgages on real property), (G) gain from the sale or other
disposition of real estate assets (including an interest in an entity that
qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and regular and residual
interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”)), that is not
Prohibited Income and (H) income from any transaction, including gain from the
sale or disposition of such a transaction, entered into in the normal course of
the trade or business of IPC US or any other direct or indirect corporate or
noncorporate entity in which IPC US holds a direct or indirect equity interest
to manage interest rate risk or price changes or currency fluctuations with
respect to borrowings made, or ordinary obligations incurred, by IPC US or any
other direct or indirect corporate or noncorporate entity in which IPC US holds
a direct or indirect equity interest to acquire or carry real estate assets, if
the transaction is clearly identified as a hedging transaction before the close
of the day on which it was acquired, originated or entered into.

 

(xxviii)   Less than 15% of the fair market value of any of IPC US’s properties
which are subject to leases have been attributable to personal property and all
personal property leased by IPC US have been under or in connection with a
lease of real property.

 

(xxix)      Except as provided below, IPC US does not render, furnish or provide
any services to tenants, except (A) such services which are customarily
furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property (as
determined by the geographic market in which the property is located and by
services customarily provided to tenants in properties of a similar class), (B)
such services which are not rendered primarily for the

 

37

 

convenience of
the tenant and are usually or customarily rendered in connection with the
rental of space for occupancy only or (C) income derived from services not
described in clause (B) hereof with respect to a property does not exceed one
percent of all amounts received or accrued during a taxable year with respect
to such property. For purposes of the one percent threshold, the amount derived
by IPC US for any service is deemed to be not less than 150% of the direct cost
incurred by IPC US in furnishing or rendering the service. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer acknowledge that IPC REIT currently has in place certain
existing parking arrangements and is providing certain special services to
tenants that may cause IPC REIT not to be in compliance with the foregoing. IPC
REIT will cooperate with Buyer to ensure that such parking arrangements and
other services are restructured as necessary to bring them into compliance with
the foregoing.

 

(xxx)       Neither IPC US nor any other direct or indirect corporate or
noncorporate entity in which IPC US holds a direct or indirect equity interest,
owns or operates any hotel or health care facility, or provides to any other
person (under a franchise, license, or otherwise) rights to any brand name under
which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated.

(i)                                     Except

Article 10:

 

(a)           it

agreements beyond amounts accrued to the date

shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take such actions as are

may reasonably require; provided, however, that (i) no such reorganization will

expenses for filing fees and legal counsel and auditors which may be incurred,
(ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, the parties shall seek to have any
such reorganization made effective on the day ending immediately prior to the

47

 

Subsidiaries, including, without limitation,
obtaining a payoff letter in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer for the
KeyBank Facility and undertaking or causing its applicable Subsidiaries to
undertake such debt or equity financings (including upwards financing of
existing mortgages), lend and borrow such intercompany loans, make such
distributions, and engage in such other transactions as Buyer directs in
connection with the Closing, provided that IPC REIT will not be obligated to
assume any obligations or liabilities or do anything that would be prejudicial
to IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(f)            it
shall use its best efforts to obtain Unitholder Approval, except to the extent
that the Board has effected a change in its recommendation in accordance with
section 6.5 hereof; and

 

(g)           it
shall cooperate with Buyer and its Affiliates and shall use reasonably
commercial efforts to obtain tenant estoppel certificates for any of the Owned

distributions. Subject to the completion of the Transactions, all amounts due
to holders of Options under the IPC REIT Deferred Unit Plan on account of the

entitlements shall be issued under the IPC REIT Option Plan after the date
hereof. All amounts due to holders of Options under the IPC REIT Option Plan
are set out in the Disclosure Letter.

 

5.4          Defeasance of
Convertible Debentures.

 

(a)           Subject
to section 5.4(d), IPC REIT shall defease all of its obligations under the
Indenture prior to Closing in accordance with the provisions of section 10.5 of
the Indenture and by paying the Defeasance Amount on terms satisfactory to
Buyer, acting reasonably, including without limiting the foregoing, paying or making
provisions to the satisfaction of the trustee under the Indenture for the
payment of all other sums payable with respect to the Debentures (including all
applicable expenses of the trustees in connection therewith).

 

(b)           Each

following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in a coordinated
fashion, and use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in the preparation and

opportunity to engage in all discussions with
the trustee under the Indenture with respect to such defeasance and review and

anything to the contrary herein, IPC Realty II, LLC shall be entitled to loan

a distribution to IPC REIT so that IPC REIT is able to carry out its
obligations under section 5.4(a), and NSULC shall pay a market rate of interest
for such loan. If Buyer elects in accordance with section 5.2(d) to partially
effect the Transactions through a loan to IPC US simultaneously with or
immediately prior to Closing and IPC Realty II, LLC has made the Defeasance
Loan to NSULC, then the Sellers shall cause NSULC to use a portion of the
proceeds ultimately received by NSULC from IPC US pursuant to the transactions
contemplated by section 5.2(d) to pay off the Defeasance Loan to IPC Realty II,
LLC. Following Closing, IPC REIT shall have no further obligation with respect
to the Defeasance Loan as contemplated in this section 5.4(c).

requested by Buyer, the parties shall cooperate, at Buyer’s expense, to

seek to retire or redeem the Debentures through purchase, redemption pursuant
to consent solicitation or otherwise as may be directed by Buyer at Buyer’s
expense, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and applicable Laws.

the Parent).

section 6.4(a)). For greater certainty, IPC REIT shall not be deemed in breach
of this section 6.1(a) solely by virtue of referring any third party who may
communicate with IPC REIT or its agent to the provisions of this Agreement;

 

(b)           immediately
to cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitations, encouragements,
activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Buyer, any
of its Affiliates or any of their representatives or agents) with respect to
any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal whether or not initiated by any of
the Sellers;

 

(c)           not to
release or permit the release of any Person from or waive or forbear in the
enforcement of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which such Person
is a party, except to allow such Person confidentially to propose to the Board
an Acquisition Proposal not procured in contravention of the Sellers’
obligations under subsections (a) or (b) of this section 6.1 (an “Unsolicited
Acquisition Proposal”) that the Board determines in good faith, after receipt
of advice from its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes or
is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal; and

 

(d)           immediately
to cease to provide and cause not to be provided to any other party with access
to information concerning IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries (including through
access to IPC REIT’s electronic data site) and, to the extent it is entitled to
do so under the applicable confidentiality agreements, request the return or
destruction of all confidential information provided to any third party that
has entered into a confidentiality agreement with IPC REIT relating to any
potential Acquisition Proposal.

6.2          Go Shop Period.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, including for certainty sections 6.1, 6.3 and
6.4, but subject to complying with sections 6.5 through 6.9 and 11.2, IPC REIT
shall be entitled during period from the date of this Agreement to and
including September 30, 2007 (the “Go Shop Period”) to (a) take or carry-out
any actions otherwise restricted by section 6.1 and otherwise continue any
existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect
to any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal, (b) make available to any
Person non-public information relating to IPC REIT and/or its Subsidiaries
and/or (c) receive any Acquisition Proposal (including, for greater certainty,
any Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal) from any Person whatsoever; provided
however, that, during Go Shop Period, IPC REIT shall (i) promptly and fully
keep Buyer informed of the number of Persons with whom IPC REIT is in current
activities, discussions or negotiations with in respect of any actual or
potential Acquisition Proposal, (ii) provide on a weekly basis Buyer with a
list or copies of the information and access to similar information as that
provided to a Person (except that IPC REIT shall not be required to provides
copies of or access to such information to the extent that such information was
already provided or made available to Buyer); and (iii) provide Buyer with a
copy of any Acquisition Proposal (including, for greater certainty, any
Unsolicited Acquisition Proposal) forthwith after it is received by IPC REIT or
its Subsidiaries. Buyer and Parent acknowledge and agree that the provisions of
6.3 and 6.4 shall not apply with respect to discussions or negotiations with
any Persons during the Go Shop Period; provided, however, that IPC REIT shall
be required to obtain an executed confidentiality agreement in accordance with
section 6.4(a) prior to providing any Person with access to any non-public
information regarding IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries. From and after the
expiration of the Go Shop Period, IPC REIT shall be obligated to comply with
all of the provisions of this Article 6, including sections 6.1, 6.2 and
6.4, with respect to all Acquisition Proposals, including any Acquisition
Proposal received prior to the expiration of the Go Shop Period.

 

6.3          Acquisition
Proposals.

 

IPC REIT
shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within 24 hours after the
time of receipt, notify Buyer of all future Acquisition Proposals of which any
Seller or any Subsidiary of IPC REIT or any of their respective trustees,
officers, investment bankers, financial advisors, accountants or other
representatives are or become aware, or any amendments to the foregoing, or any
request for non-public information relating to IPC REIT or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with any potential Acquisition Proposal or for
access to the trustees, directors, employees, 
properties, Books and Records of IPC REIT or any other non-public
information relating to IPC REIT and/or any Subsidiary in connection with a
potential Acquisition Proposal, and shall provide Buyer with a copy of or, in
the case of any non-written Acquisition Proposal, a summary in reasonable
detail of (i) any notice from any Person informing it that such Person is
considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) any Acquisition
Proposal (or any amendment thereto), in each case forthwith after it is
received by IPC REIT or its Subsidiaries. Such notice to Buyer shall be made
orally and in writing and shall indicate such details, to the extent known, of
the proposal, inquiry or contact as Buyer may reasonably request, including the
identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact and the
material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal,
discussion, negotiation or request. IPC REIT shall promptly and fully keep
Buyer

 

52

 

informed
of the status and general progress (including amendments or proposed
amendments) of any such request or Acquisition Proposal.

 

6.4          Access to
Information.

 

IPC REIT will
not make available, after the date hereof, any non-public information to any
Person (other than Buyer) except to any Governmental Entity as required by Law.
If IPC REIT receives a written request (after the date hereof and prior to the
Unitholder Approval) for non-public information relating to IPC REIT and/or its
Subsidiaries or for access to the Books and Records of IPC REIT and/or its
Subsidiaries or any of them in connection with an Unsolicited Acquisition
Proposal that the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with
financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes or is reasonably
likely to result in a Superior Proposal, then IPC REIT:

 

(a)           may,
notwithstanding section 6.1(a) or section 6.1(d) but subject to compliance with
section 6.3 and provided IPC REIT has entered into (and provided Buyer with a
copy of, identifying the Person granted access) a confidentiality agreement
with such Person on terms no more favourable to such Person (including with
respect to standstill restrictions) than those in the Confidentiality Agreement
as of the date it was executed, provide such Person with access to such
information and engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person; and

 

(b)           will
provide Buyer with a list of or copies of the information and access to similar
information as that provided to such Person (except that IPC REIT shall not be
required to provide copies of or access to such information) to the extent such
information was already provided or made available to Buyer).

 

6.5          Approval of Superior
Proposal.

 

Notwithstanding
sections 2.4(g) and 6.1, if IPC REIT receives an Unsolicited Acquisition
Proposal, IPC REIT may accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement
in respect of such Acquisition Proposal if:

 

(a)           the Unitholder
Approval shall not have been obtained;

 

(b)           such
Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;

 

(c)           IPC
REIT has given written notice to Buyer that there is a Superior Proposal
together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal
and its intention to withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify in a manner adverse
to Buyer its approval or recommendation of the Unitholder Resolution;

 

(d)           IPC
REIT has complied with this Article 6 including, for greater certainty,
section 6.6;

 

(e)           five
Business Days (the “Matching Period”) shall have elapsed from the later of (i)
the date Buyer received the notice and documentation referred to in section
6.5(c) and (ii) the date Buyer was provided with a copy of such Acquisition

 

53

 

Proposal (including any agreements evidencing
the terms thereof). If the date of the Unitholder Meeting would occur before
the expiry of such Matching Period, IPC REIT may postpone the date of the
Unitholder Meeting by the shortest practicable number of days to avoid such
result; and

 

(f)            IPC
REIT complies with the provisions of sections 10.3(e) and 11.2(a) with respect
to the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Termination Fee.

 

6.6          Right to Match.

 

(a)           Buyer
may, but is not required to, during the Matching Period, offer in writing to
amend the terms of the Transactions and, if it does so, then the Board shall
review any such offer in good faith, in consultation with its financial and
outside legal advisors and, if the Board determines that the Acquisition
Proposal would thereby cease to be a Superior Proposal, it will cause the
Sellers to enter into an amendment to this Agreement reflecting the offer by
Buyer to amend the terms of the Transactions.

 

(b)           If
Buyer does not offer to amend the terms of the Transactions or if Buyer does so
offer but the Board determines in good faith, after receipt of advice from its
financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal
continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (after taking into account any
amendments to this Agreement proposed by Buyer) and therefore rejects Buyer’s
offer to amend, IPC REIT may terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that
IPC REIT must comply with the provisions of sections 10.3(e) and 11.2(a) with
respect to the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Termination
Fee.

 

6.7          Reaffirmation of
Recommendation.

 

The Board
shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Transactions by press release
after: (a) any Acquisition Proposal that the Board determines not to be a
Superior Proposal is publicly announced or made; or (b) the Board makes the
determination referred to in section 6.6(a). Buyer and its counsel shall be
given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of
any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are
appropriate will be determined by IPC REIT, acting reasonably. Such press
release shall state that the Board has determined that the Acquisition Proposal
is not a Superior Proposal.

 

6.8          Amendments to
Acquisition Proposals.

 

Any material
amendment of an Acquisition Proposal (other than such an amendment as
constitutes an improvement to the Unitholders and is made after the expiry of a
Matching Period (as such period may be extended) within which Buyer had an
unexercised right to match pursuant to section 6.6) shall constitute a new
Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Article 6.

 

54

 

6.9          Compliance.

 

The Sellers
shall ensure that the Subsidiaries of IPC REIT and their respective trustees,
directors, officers, representatives and agents and any financial advisors or
other advisors or representatives retained by them are aware of the provisions
of this Article 6 and shall be responsible for any breach of this
Article 6 by all such parties.

7.1          Covenants Relating to
the Transactions.

 

Buyer hereby
agrees that between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date or the date
on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 10:

 

(a)           except
as permitted by this Agreement or as required by applicable law, it shall not
knowingly take any action that would interfere with or be inconsistent with the
Transactions or which would render, or that reasonably may be expected to
render, any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement untrue in
any material respect or, where already qualified by materiality, in any
respect, at any time prior to the Closing Date; and

 

(b)           it
shall advise IPC REIT in writing promptly after it acquires knowledge of:

 

(i)        any event
or state of fact that would render any representation or warranty of Parent and
Buyer contained in this Agreement, untrue, inaccurate or incomplete in any
material respect or, where already qualified by materiality, in any other
respect (and for any representation or warranty which expressly speaks solely
of a specific date, if it would have been untrue, inaccurate or incomplete in
respect of such date); and

 

(ii)       any breach
by Parent or Buyer of any covenant contained herein; and

 

(c)           it
shall advise IPC REIT in writing promptly after the date of this Agreement, and
in any event within 15 days after the date hereof, of the existing mortgages that
Buyer intends to defease or prepay at Closing and shall take such actions as
are necessary to defease or prepay such mortgages at Closing.

 

7.2          Insurance and
Indemnities.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding
any other term of this Agreement, IPC REIT shall be permitted to secure
pre-paid non-cancellable trustees’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage
for the current and former trustees, directors and officers of IPC REIT and its
Subsidiaries on a six year “trailing” (or “runoff”) basis, provided that, in
satisfying such obligation, IPC REIT shall not pay any premium in excess of
$450,000, plus GST.

 

(b)           For a
period of six years from the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Subsidiaries
of IPC REIT to assume and indemnify or hold harmless and, if applicable,
provide

 

55

 

advancement of expenses to, all current and
former trustees, directors and officers of IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries to the
extent such Persons are currently indemnified by and lawfully entitled to indemnity
from IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or have the right to advancement of
expenses pursuant to IPC REIT’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ existing indemnity
agreements dated January 29, 2007 and constating documents in existence as of
the date hereof, including the indemnities set out in the Declaration of Trust,
for liabilities and obligations of IPC REIT or any of its Subsidiaries for acts
or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (including acts or
omissions occurring in connection with the approval and completion of the
Transactions).

 

(c)           The
provisions of this section 7.2 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will
be enforceable by, each insured or indemnified party, his or her heirs and his
or her legal representatives and, for such purpose, IPC REIT hereby confirms
that it is acting as agent and trustee on their behalf. Furthermore, the
provisions of such sections shall survive the termination of this Agreement as
a result of the occurrence of the Closing Date.

 

ARTICLE 8

COVENANTS OF PRF AND BR

 

8.1          Covenants Relating to
the Transactions.

 

Until the
Closing Date or the date on which this Agreement has been terminated pursuant
to Article 10, each of PRF and BR agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to perform their obligations
under Article 2 and Article 3 as promptly as is practicable so as to
give effect to the Transactions, including the execution and delivery of such
documents as the other parties hereto may reasonably require.

 

ARTICLE 9

FURTHER ASSURANCES AND CONDITIONS

 

9.1          Satisfaction of
Closing Conditions.

 

Subject to the
conditions herein provided, each of IPC REIT and Buyer agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and
to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to
consummate and make effective as promptly as is practicable the Transactions,
including the execution and delivery of such documents as the other parties
hereto may reasonably require, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall use commercially reasonable efforts:

 

(a)           to
obtain all necessary government or Regulatory Approvals and Required
Contractual Consents, waivers, permits, consents, reviews, orders, rulings,
decisions, and exemptions (including, among others, those of the Toronto Stock
Exchange or securities or regulatory authorities) and waiver or expiration of
all waiting or suspensory periods, in each case required to be obtained by it;

 

(b)           to
satisfy (or cause the satisfaction of) the conditions precedent to Closing set
forth in Article 3, the satisfaction of which are under its control;

 

56

 

(c)           to
defend all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory or other proceedings challenging
or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions;

 

(d)           to
oppose, lift or rescind any cease trade order, injunction or other prohibition
or other order which adversely affects any party’s ability to consummate the
Transactions; and

 

(e)           to
effect all necessary registrations, filings and applications under all
applicable Laws.

 

Each of IPC REIT and Buyer, where appropriate, shall reasonably
cooperate with the other in taking such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the provisions of section 9.1 shall not be deemed to require Parent or Buyer,
in connection with obtaining any Regulatory Approval, to enter into any
agreement, consent decree or other commitment requiring Parent or any of its
Affiliates (including for this purpose NSULC or any of its Subsidiaries) to
divest or hold separate any assets or to take any action that would have a
material adverse effect on the business, affairs, results of operations,
condition (financial or otherwise) or results of Parent and its Affiliates
(including for this purpose NSULC and its Subsidiaries), taken as whole.

59

 

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION FEE EVENT

 

11.1        Termination Fee Event.

 

A “Termination Fee Event” shall occur if:

 

(a)           the
Board withholds, withdraws, qualifies or modifies in a manner materially
adverse to Buyer its approval or recommendation of the Transactions (including
the recommendation of the Board in favour of the Unitholder Resolution);

 

(b)           the
Board accepts, approves or recommends, or enters into any agreement or
arrangement with respect to any Superior Proposal; or

 

(c)           the
Board fails to reaffirm its recommendation of the Transactions by press release
as required under section 6.7,

 

provided, in each case, such an event shall not constitute a
Termination Fee Event where Buyer is in material default in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement. This section 11.1 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

 

11.2        Payment of Termination
Fee and Termination Expenses.

 

(a)           If
this Agreement is terminated by Buyer upon the occurrence of a Termination Fee
Event, IPC REIT shall pay the Termination Fee to Buyer by bank draft or wire
transfer no later than the third Business Day following the termination of this
Agreement. If IPC REIT wishes to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
section 10.3 at a time when a Termination Fee Event has previously
occurred, it shall pay the Termination Fee to Buyer by bank draft or wire
transfer prior to the termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)           If
this Agreement is terminated in accordance with section 10.3(d), section 10.4(b)
or section 10.4(d), IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries shall reimburse Buyer for the
reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Buyer in connection with the entering into of the Agreement and Transactions up
to $2,500,000 (the “Termination Expenses”); such expenses to be paid to Buyer
(or as it may direct) within three Business Days of such termination by bank
draft or wire transfer of immediately available funds to account designated by
Buyer.

 

(c)           If
this Agreement is terminated in accordance with section 10.3(d) or section
10.4(d), and if (i) after the date hereof and prior to such termination, a
Person (or any representative of a Person) has made an Acquisition Proposal or
publicly announced any intention to make an Acquisition Proposal that has not
been withdrawn, and (ii) within 12 months of any such termination, IPC REIT or
any of IPC REIT’s Subsidiaries enters into an agreement with respect to such
Acquisition Proposal or such Acquisition Proposal shall have been completed,
then IPC REIT shall pay to Buyer (or as it may direct) an amount equal to the
Termination Fee less the Termination Expenses by bank draft or wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, on the earlier
of the date that an agreement

 

60

 

with respect to the Acquisition Proposal is
entered into or the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal.

 

(d)           This
section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

11.3        Liquidated Damages.

 

In the event
the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses are paid to Buyer on account of
a termination of this Agreement by Buyer in accordance with Article 10 and
section 11.2, no other amounts will be due and payable as damages or otherwise
by the Sellers and Buyer hereby accepts that the Termination Fee and/or
Termination Expenses are in lieu of any damages or any other payment or remedy
to which Buyer could otherwise be entitled. Buyer agrees that the Termination
Fee and the Termination Expenses constitute payment of liquidated damages which
are a genuine anticipated assessment or estimate of the damages which it will
suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and
resulting in the termination of this Agreement and does not and will not
constitute payment of a penalty. Each of the Sellers irrevocably waives any
right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are
excessive or punitive. The foregoing shall not be construed to impair the right
of Parent or Buyer to seek or obtain specific performance or other equitable
remedies to enforce the performance by the Sellers of their obligations under
this Agreement. This section 11.3 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement

 

11.4        Other Fees and
Expenses.

 

(a)           Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, IPC REIT and its
Subsidiaries shall be responsible for and bear all of the Transaction Costs. No
later than five Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, IPC REIT
shall provide Buyer with a list of all Transaction Costs (whether paid or not).
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit IPC REIT from paying prior to
Closing any Transaction Costs (up to the Maximum Transaction Costs) incurred in
connection with pursuing or consummating this Agreement and the Transactions.
To the extent that the Transaction Costs exceed the Maximum Transaction Costs,
such excess amount shall reduce, on a pro rata basis, the NSULC Purchase Price
and IPC Realty Purchase Price.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if the Closing occurs, Buyer shall be solely
responsible for all other costs, expenses and fees other than Transaction Costs
incurred by any of the parties to this Agreement in connection with, or incidental
to, the Transactions, including, without limitation, (A) all fees, costs or
other expenses incurred as a result of compliance with section 5.4 (other than
the repayment of the portion of the loan from IPC Realty II, LLC to NSULC for
the Defeasance Amount as contemplated in section 5.4(c)) and the defeasance of
the Debentures, (B) all land transfer taxes, transfer taxes and all other
taxes, duties, registration charges or other like changes properly payable, if

Moreover, the parties agree to provide to the others copies of any public

12.3        Assignment.

 

Each of Parent
and Buyer may assign all or any portion of its rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more Affiliates of Parent, but,
if such assignment takes place Parent and the applicable Buyer shall continue

Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the
laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement

hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or
claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding so brought has

termination of this Agreement

 

62

This Agreement
may not be amended except by written agreement signed by all of the parties to
this Agreement. For greater certainty, the written agreement of those Persons
referred to in section 7.2(c) shall not be required, except that no

respective benefit or waive or consent to the modification of any of the
obligations of the other parties hereto. For any such waiver or consent to be

PRF and/or BR if any of such parties is granting such waiver or consent; or by
(b) Buyer on behalf Buyer and/or Parent if any of such parties is granting such
waiver or consent. No waiver shall operate as an ongoing waiver or as a waiver
of any other matter whatsoever.

 

12.7        Severability.

 

If, in any
jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement or its application to any party
or circumstance is restricted, prohibited or unenforceable, such provision
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such
restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and without affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or without affecting
its application to other parties or circumstances.

 

12.8        Specific Performance
and Other Relief.

 

Subject to
section 11.3 but notwithstanding any other section of this Agreement, it is
recognized and acknowledged that a breach by any party of any material
obligations contained in this Agreement will cause the other party to sustain
injury for which it would not have an adequate remedy at Law for money damages.
Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, any aggrieved party shall be
entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such obligations and
interlocutory, preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief
in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at Law or in
equity.

SUBSIDIARIES

 

A complete and accurate corporate chart showing all of IPC REIT’s
Subsidiaries is attached hereto.

SECTION 4.1(j) OF THE AGREEMENT

 

ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS

 

The
following are exceptions to the representations given by IPC REIT in Section
4.1(j) of the Agreement:

 

Hurricane Katrina

 

Operations
at the Energy Centre in New Orleans were impacted as a result of Hurricane
Katrina 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 (“Chubb”). 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.

 

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 Gould
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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

IPC REIT
continues to negotiate with Chubb regarding the possibility that only the $2.7
million deductible applies against IPC REIT’s claim. IPC REIT awaits Chubb’s
reply to its position. This would be a cost savings of approximately $330,000.

 

IPC REIT’s
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.

222 Bloomingdale Road

 

On November 14, 2006, IPC REIT discovered an oil leak at 222
Bloomingdale Road. 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.

 

Edgewater, Staten Island, NY

 

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 Commissioner’s
Order.

 

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.

 

Prior to the hearing, three bids were obtained to replace the fire panel
in order to comply with the Fire Commissioner’s Order. Simplex Grinnell 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.

 

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.

 

Sale of Normandie Village

 

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 “Agreement”) of Normandie Village
Associates, L.P. (the “Partnership”)) against IPC Retail Properties Management,
Inc. (the “General Partner”) 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.

 

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 partners’ right of first refusal. Normandie Village was sold
by IPC REIT in December 2005 for $9.5 million. The 

 

14

 

plaintiffs have stated that the amount of damages is unknown and have
placed an upper limit of their damage claim at $10 million.

 

IPC has retained legal representation in Kansas with a law firm that
has experience in the creation and operation of business entities, including
partnership, as well as litigation between members (including partners) of such
entities. IPC REIT and its legal counsel believe that in connection with the
sale of Normandie Village, all necessary consents and authorizations were
obtained by the General Partner and the General Partner complied with the right
of first refusal under the Agreement.

IPC or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of their properties, assets or
operations at law or equity or before any Governmental Entity:

 

Normandie Village Associates, L.P.

 

•                                          See
“Sale of Normandie Village” under Section 4.1(j) of this Agreement.

enjoyment. No lawsuit but negotiations ongoing with tenant.

 

222 Bloomingdale Road

 

•                                          See

Technologies:  Delinquency of $120,073,
eviction filed and served. Expect control of the space within 30 days.

 

•                                          153
Grand:  Former tenant collection of
outstanding rents, approximately $47,000. Tenant business dissolved with no
assets. Settlement of $20,000 reached payable in two instalments (first cheque
forwarded for receipt on August 13, 2007).

 

City Center

 

•                                          Sheila
Turner:  Eviction, space recovered
October 2006. Judgment received and repayment of approximately $6100 being

Financial:  Continued delinquency,
eviction proceedings filed, tenant has paid delinquent rents, but continues to
owe approximately $13,000 in late and miscellaneous charges. Although IPC is
currently working with tenant to collect, eviction may still be the outcome.

•                                          See
“Edgewater, Staten Island, NY” under Section 4.1(j) of this Agreement.

•                                          Key
Span:

 

•                                          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 (“Key Span”), 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 York’s boroughs, including Staten Island. The
site has been used in recent years as storage for new cars.

 

•                                          IPC was contacted in March 2004 by Key Span, working in conjunction
with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”) and
Department of Health (“NYDOH”) 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.

 

•                                          A site-access agreement to place monitoring wells 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.

 

•                                          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 wells were installed the week of November 20, 2006 and
testing is ongoing.

 

•                                          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.

 

•                                          In May 2005, an agreement with Key Span, IPC and Barclays
memorialized Key Span’s 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.

 

•                                          IPC has retained an environmental attorney to assist in this matter.

 

•                                          New
York City Economic Development Corporation: 
As a part of the New Stapleton Waterfront development project (former
Home Port development), Front Street is being widened and improved. Although
the City has the right to take the property through condemnation, IPC has been

INSURANCE

 

Hurricane
Katrina and the subsequent flooding to New Orleans have impacted on the
operations at the Energy Centre as well as causing physical damage to the
building. As a result, IPC REIT has made a material insurance claim under its
insurance policy with Chubb Insurance. 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 Katrina.

 

See
Section 4.1(j) of this Disclosure Letter for further details of this insurance
claim.

(2)                                NSULC indirectly owns a 60% equity interest in The Wanamaker
Building.

(3)                                One Oxmoor Place is on land leased from the Bullitt Trust until
December 2063. The ground lease contains renewal options every five years until
expiration. Rent payable in the first renewal period of January 1, 2004 to
December 31, 2009 is $319,954 per annum. Rent for each subsequent renewal
period is the greater of (a) 115% of the previous renewal period’s rent and (b)
the then fair market value, which is to be agreed upon by the landlord and
tenant or, if they cannot agree, ultimately determined by three appraisers. On
August 29, 2003, IPC Commercial Properties, LLC entered into a contract of sale
with the landlord to purchase One Oxmoor Place for $5,376,250, with closing set
to occur on or about December 30, 2008.

(8)                                500 East Pratt Street is on land leased from Baltimore City
Community College until January 31, 2050, which term may be renewed by the
tenant upon one year’s notice for a further two 20 year terms (i.e. until
January 31, 2090). Rent for the years 2002 to 2050 will be the base rent of
$450,050.72 (2007) per annum adjusted annually based on the lesser of (a) the
preceding year’s base rent multiplied by the percentage change in the CPI over
the preceding year, or (b) 103% of the preceding year’s base rent, provided
that the base rent for a year shall not be less than the base rent for the

equal to 2% of annual gross income.

 

4.1(p)(i):

 

The
August 8, 2007 rent rolls pertaining to the Owned Properties and Leased
Properties are attached hereto.

 

4.1(p)(iv):

 

The
following is an exception to the representations in Section 4.1(p)(iv) of the
Agreement:

 

Pursuant to Section 3(D) of the purchase and
sale agreement for ownership interests dated April 28, 2006 between 21 East
State Street Limited Partnership (the “Seller”) and IPC Fifth Third Holdings,
LLC (the “Buyer”) in respect of the purchase and sale of Fifth Third Center in
Columbus, Ohio, the Seller is entitled to receive a deferred purchase price
amount from 21 ESS, LLC (the “Owner”) in the event that (i) the Owner sells the
land and the improvements thereon to a third party after May 28, 2006 (the “Fee
Transfer”); or (ii) the sale of at least 90% of the direct ownership interests
in the Owner or in the Buyer to a third party purchaser (the “Interests
Transfer”). The deferred purchase price on a Fee Transfer or an Interests
Transfer of 100% of the interests in the Owner or the Buyer is calculated as
follows: with respect to any net proceeds in excess of $73,000,000 received:

 

•                                          the first $1,000,000 shall be paid to the Seller;

 

•                                          the next $1,000,000 shall be paid to the Owner or the Buyer, as
applicable; and

 

•                                          15% of any net proceeds in excess of $75,000,000 shall be paid to
the Seller.

 

25

 

However, no deferred purchase price is
payable with respect to any Fee Transfer or Interests Transfer in connection
with a takeover bid or similar change in control action involving IPC REIT. In
these circumstances, payment of the deferred purchase price shall remain an
obligation of the Owner of the Buyer, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.1(r) OF THE AGREEMENT

 

LABOUR MATTERS

 

4.1(r)(i):

 

The
following are exceptions to the representations given by IPC REIT in Section
4.1(r)(i) of the Agreement:

 

•                                          Pro Rata Annual Bonus:  IPC REIT has committed to
providing each officer and other employees of its Subsidiaries with a pro rata annual bonus payable as at the Closing Date. The pro rata bonuses are discretionary and represent the bonuses
to which such officers and employees would otherwise be entitled to in December
of each year for services rendered during the respective year consistent with
past practice. A similar approach will be taken with all of the employees of
IPC REIT and its Subsidiaries located in IPC REIT’s Toronto office. The
aggregate amount payable in respect of such discretionary bonuses is not
expected to exceed $1,500,000.

 

•                                          Mid-Level Executive Retention:  Employees of IPC REIT and
its Subsidiaries, other than senior executives with change of control
agreements, are entitled to retention bonuses ranging from 10% to 40% of their
2007 salaries. The payment of each retention bonus is conditional upon the
employee remaining with IPC REIT following the sale. The aggregate amount
payable in respect of such retention bonuses is approximately US$550,000.

 

•                                          Change of Control for Senior Executives:  On May 15, 2006, three of
the senior executives of IPC REIT, Gary Goodman, Elisabeth Wigmore and Y. Dov
Meyer, entered into change of control agreements with IPC Realty Services Inc. Subsequently,
on November 29, 2006, the change of control agreements of Gary Goodman and
Elisabeth Wigmore were amended and restated and David Dinniwell entered into a
change of control agreement with IPC Realty Services Inc. in connection with
his appointment as Chief Financial Officer of IPC REIT. The aggregate amount
payable under such agreements is approximately US$3.3 million. Elisabeth
Wigmore, as a result of tendering her resignation, will not be entitled to any payments
under her change of control agreement, but is entitled to a Cdn. $250,000 payment
in the event that the Transactions are completed (in addition to her
entitlements to salary and a bonus payable until the completion of the
Transactions).

 

27

The
following is a list of collective bargaining agreements in which IPC REIT or
its Subsidiaries is a party to:

any unvested Options under the IPC REIT Option Plan and will result in the
payments to optionees as set forth in Sections 4.1(e) and 5.3(c) of this
Disclosure Letter;

 

•                                          the consummation of the Transactions will accelerate the vesting of

SECTION 4.1(t)
OF THE AGREEMENT

 

TAX MATTERS

 

The
following are exceptions to the representations of IPC REIT in Section 4.1(t) of
the Agreement:

 

4.1(t)(ii):

 

Philadelphia Tax Audit

 

On
March 2, 2006, IPC (US) Realty Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) received a letter
from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Revenue (the “Revenue
Department”) providing that the Bureau of Audits would be conducting a “routine
field audit” of the tax return that was filed by Holdings in Pennsylvania for
the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

On
November 29, 2006, Holdings was provided with the auditor’s preliminary
adjustments, which included a minor adjustment to apportionment and a complete
reduction of the non-business income previously deducted from Pennsylvania
taxable income in the amount of $8,144,596. 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.

 

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.

 

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

 

On
October 3, 2006, IPC Realty LLC (“Realty”) 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.

 

30

 

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.

Re:                               Waiver
of Asset Management Fees

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory
Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2006 (the “Advisory Agreement”), by
and between Behringer Harvard REIT I, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”),
and Behringer Advisors, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Advisor”).
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Advisory Agreement.

 

In consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Advisor hereby
agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Waiver
of Asset Management Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates, and its and their respective successors and assigns, hereby waives
and forever releases and discharges the Company from its obligation to pay an
aggregate of $1,000,000 of the Asset Management Fees to the Advisor, as
provided in Section 3.01(a) of the Advisory Agreement, that would otherwise become
due and payable during the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning on July 1, 2007
and ending on September 30, 2007.

 

2.                                       Ratification;
Effect on Advisory Agreement.

 

(a)                                  Ratification.
The Advisory Agreement, as amended by this letter agreement, shall remain in
full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

 

(b)                                 Effect
on the Advisory Agreement. On and after the date hereof, each reference in
the Advisory Agreement to “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” or
words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Advisory Agreement
as amended hereby.

 

 

3.                                       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  Governing
Law; Venue. This letter agreement and the legal relations between the
parties hereto shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to its conflicts of
law principles, and venue for any action brought with respect to any claims
arising out of this letter agreement shall be brought exclusively in Dallas
County, Texas.

 

(b)                                 Modification.
This letter agreement shall not be changed, modified, or amended, in whole or
in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or
their respective successors or assignees.

 

(c)                                  Headings.
The titles and headings of the sections and subsections contained in this
letter agreement are for convenience only, and they neither form a part of this
letter agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation
hereof.

 

(d)                                 Severability.
The provisions of this letter agreement are independent of and severable from
each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or
unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of
them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

 

(e)                                  Counterparts.
This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears
thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
This letter agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts
hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the
parties reflected hereon as the signatories. This letter agreement, to the extent
signed and delivered by means of electronic mail or a facsimile machine, shall
be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument
and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were an
original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto shall
raise the use of electronic mail or a facsimile machine to deliver a signature
or the fact that any signature was transmitted or communicated through the use
of electronic mail or a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or
enforceability of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such
defense.
