1 August 8, 2013 Mr. Richard Higgins Norstar Development USA, L.P. 733 Broadway Albany, New York Re: Asbestos Containing Material Survey Hikone Hikone Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan ERG Project Dear Mr. Higgins, Environmental Resources Group, LLC (ERG) has completed the pre renovation asbestos containing material survey (ACM Survey) for the referenced property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. ERG contracted American Environmental Consultants (AEC) to perform the survey. The asbestos survey was performed on May 20 22, 2013 by an accreditedd Asbestos Inspector in general accordance with NESHAP Guidelines, with the focus on satisfying the regulatory ACM informationn requirements for building renovation activities. The pre renovation ACM survey targeted readily accessible building materials and included the collection and analysis of bulk samples. Samples weree analyzed by the polarized light microscopy (PLM) and/or Point Count methods. The results of the pre renovatiofloor tile and heat shield) were found to contain asbestos and are deemed ACMs. In addition, two materials (lower layers of floor tile and roofing material) were not sampled and are therefore ACM survey indicated that three materials (joint compound, surface layers of assumed to be ACMs. Please refer to the attached AEC report for survey details and analytical results.

4 ACM Survey Hikone Ann Arbor, MI /20-5/22/2013 Project Number: Executive Summary American Environmental Consultants, LLC (AEC) was contracted by ERG to perform an Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) Survey at Hikone in Ann Arbor, MI. The survey was completed on May 20- May 22, The following is a summary of the asbestos containing materials identified in the building which will require special handling during any renovation or demolition activities. 100,000 SF of -Throughout 200 SF of Asbestos Board-Basements Floor Tile/ Under Layment Suspected to be ACM- Throughout Units Suspected Roof Materials to be ACM Introduction Jef Fox (Inspector #A26737) of AEC, gained access to the property on 5/20-5/22/2013. AEC was to complete an asbestos containing materials survey of accessible areas of the subject property. The subject property is scheduled for renovation. AEC visually identified and sampled suspect asbestos containing materials. The roof was not accessed as part of this inspection. AEC was allowed access to all interior/exterior areas of the building. AEC attempted to inspect for hidden asbestos containing materials without disturbing the structure or integrity of the subject property. Observations AEC inspected all of the areas of the subject property. The interior finishing components were drywall, (12x12) floor tile, and linoleum. The subject property was built of wood frame construction. AEC has attached site pictures in Appendix C depicting the site conditions. Methodology The survey was completed in accordance with the regulations stated in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). A modified triplicate random sampling method of homogeneous area materials was utilized for the sampling procedure. The modified sampling procedure performed was 3-7 samples for surfacing materials, 3 samples for thermal systems insulation, and 3 samples for miscellaneous materials. The samples were collected in a manner to prevent release of fibers while sampling the suspect asbestos containing materials (SACM). Utensils were cleaned after each sample was collected to prevent cross contamination of samples. AEC personnel took Gavel, Detroit, MI

5 ACM Survey Hikone Ann Arbor, MI /20-5/22/2013 Project Number: personal protective measures. The individual samples were placed into airtight leak proof labeled containers to be transported to the laboratory. The samples were submitted under chain of custody to EMSL Analytical, Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan for bulk sample analysis. The laboratory is an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory. A standard turn-around time was indicated on the Chains of Custody. The bulk samples were analyzed by EMSL in general accordance with the protocols described in the EPA 600/R-93/116 Method for bulk sample analysis. This method utilizes polarized light microscopy (PLM) for the detection of asbestos fibers. Asbestos cannot accurately be detected with this method if the materials contain less than 10% asbestos and the EPA recommends that the samples be re-analyzed by the EPA Point Count Method. All 1% or less asbestos containing samples will be deemed non-asbestos containing for the purposes of this survey. Results Samples were collected of 27 visible suspect asbestos containing material homogeneous sampling areas. Based on appearances and type of materials, suspect ACMs were grouped into homogeneous sampling areas (HA) and representative bulk samples were collected. For example: ceiling tile located in different functional spaces (i.e., living room and bedrooms) found to be uniform in texture, color and appeared similar in every other aspect was considered one HA. AEC attempted to collect at least three samples of the various homogeneous materials where possible and practical or as necessary. The laboratory analyzed a total of 76 samples including layers. The laboratory can separate individual samples into homogeneous layers at their discretion. AAHC requested the positive joint compounds be point counted. The following table displays the homogeneous area materials sampled: Gavel, Detroit, MI

The friable and non-friable classification in the table describes how easily the material can be broken apart. A friable material is a material that can be crushed/ pulverized by human pressure. A non-friable material is a material that cannot be crushed/ pulverized by human pressure. The condition is a classification of the physical state that the material is in at the time of the Gavel, Detroit, MI

11 ACM Survey Hikone Ann Arbor, MI /20-5/22/2013 Project Number: sampling. There are three physical condition assessments that are applied to the condition of the material: good condition, damaged condition, and severely damaged condition. A material in good condition has no visible damage or deterioration. A material in a damaged condition has damage or deterioration on less than ten percent of the surface. A material that is severely damaged has damage or deterioration on ten percent or more of the surface area. AAHC requested the joint compounds be sampled using the functional space approach, in which all units are treated independently and are sampled, accordingly, to determine if any patterns exist or if any areas can be deemed non asbestos containing. The following table contains the results of samples collected. AAHC cancelled further analysis because the joint compound was found to be positive in most samples.

24 ACM Survey Hikone Ann Arbor, MI /20-5/22/2013 Project Number: Asbestos Containing Material Locations Quantity* Roof Materials Exterior 20,000 SF *Quantities are estimated The joint compound, asbestos board, and floor tile were found to contain asbestos and are deemed asbestos containing materials. AEC assumes that all apartments have multiple layers of flooring. Although the visible layers don t all contain asbestos, it appears that atleast some of the hidden layers likely do. AEC also suspects the roof materials to be ACM. Removal Options, Recommendations If the joint compound is disturbed during renovation activities then, joint compound shall be removed in properly constructed negative pressure containment with personnel wearing proper PPE. Asbestos Board If the asbestos board is disturbed during renovation activities then, asbestos board shall be removed in properly constructed negative pressure containment with personnel wearing proper Floor Tile If the floor tile is disturbed during renovation activities then, floor tile shall be removed in properly constructed negative pressure containment with personnel wearing proper PPE. Roof Flashing If the roof flashing is disturbed during renovation activities then, roof flashing shall be removed intact with wetting, drop cloths with personnel wearing proper PPE Gavel, Detroit, MI

25 ACM Survey Hikone Ann Arbor, MI /20-5/22/2013 Project Number: Conclusion Asbestos containing materials were identified at the subject property and will require special handling and disposal if disturbed during renovation activities. The drywall systems, the asbestos board, and the floor tile were found to contain asbestos. AEC suspects the roof materials could be ACM as well. Proper precautions and abatement must be used if disturbed. All unknown material should be assumed to be asbestos until properly tested.
