 1.4.              " Accountant(s) " means such firm of independent certified public accountants for the Company and any Subsidiaries as may be engaged from time to time by the Manager subject to the prior approval of Investor, it being agreed that either Cornerstone Accounting Group LLP and/or Cywiak & Co. CPA are hereby preapproved.

 1.13.               " Book Value " means, as of any particular date with respect to an Asset, the adjusted tax basis of such Asset, except as otherwise provided herein.  The initial Book Value of each Asset shall be its cost, unless such Asset was contributed to the Company by a Member, in which case the initial Book Value shall be the fair market value of such Asset as stated in Section 3.1 (or, if no such value is stated in Section 3.1 , as otherwise reasonably determined by the Members).  The Book Values of the Property shall be adjusted to equal its fair market value, as reasonably determined by the Members, as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis additional Capital Contribution; (ii) the acquisition of an additional interest (other than a de minimis interest) in the Company as consideration for the provision of services as described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(iii); and (iii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of Assets, including money, as consideration for an interest in the Company; and (iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(5)(ii).  Unless otherwise reasonably determined by the Members, the making of Additional Capital Contributions and the resulting adjustments to Percentage Interests under Article 3 hereof shall not be treated as the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company for purposes of the preceding clause (i) and will therefore not cause an adjustment to the Book Value of Assets.  The Book Values of the Assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such Assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(m); provided, however, that the Book Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this sentence to the extent that the Members determine that such an adjustment would be duplicative of an adjustment made pursuant to the preceding sentences.
If the initial Book Value of an Asset is not its cost, or if the Book Value of an Asset is adjusted pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, such Book Value shall thereafter be adjusted for Depreciation with respect to such Asset rather than for the cost recovery deductions to which the Company is entitled for income tax purposes with respect thereto.  The Book Value of any Asset distributed to a Member shall be adjusted to equal the fair market value of such Asset on the date of the distribution, as reasonably determined by the Members.

(b)
The Members shall be obligated to contribute to the Company on the Tender Date, in cash, the aggregate amount of Additional Capital Contributions to be made on the Tender Date, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.  The Percentage Interests of the Members shall be re-calculated and, if appropriate, adjusted in accordance with Section 3.7 , upon the making of any Additional Capital Contributions by any one or more of the Members pursuant to this Section 3.2 (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Shortfall Contributions which are recharacterized as Member Loans).
(c)
If any Member fails to pay to the Company on the Tender Date its entire share of any Additional Capital Contribution required pursuant to this Section 3.2 , then the Contributing Member shall have the right to make Shortfall Contributions and, at the election of the Contributing Member, either (i) the Shortfall Contribution shall be treated as a Member Loan pursuant to Section 3.3(c) , or (ii) the associated dilution remedy under Section 3.7 shall govern.  Each Contributing Member shall deliver written Notice to the Non-Contributing Member as to such Contributing Member's election of the foregoing remedies within five (5) days after funding of the Shortfall Contribution and if the Contributing Member fails to send such Notice the Contributing Member shall be deemed to have elected to have the Shortfall Contribution treated as a Member Loan.  No Member shall be entitled or required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company other than as required or allowed under Section 3.1 , Section 3.2 , Section 3.3(b) , Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Manager's right to fund a Shortfall Contribution and any election by Investor under Section 3.2(d) to fund the Anticipated Additional Equity Amount, Investor shall have no obligation to fund any Additional Capital Contributions which would cause the aggregate Capital Contributions made by Investor to exceed Fifty-Seven Million and No/100 Dollars ($57,000,000.00).

(e)
Any funding to the Company required on account of Manager Overruns shall be requested by Manager or the Member not then affiliated with Manager (or if no Member is affiliated with Manager the Member who appointed Manager pursuant to Section 8.10 ) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(a)(ii) .  Any such costs shall be funded one hundred percent (100%) by the Member then affiliated with Manager (or if no Member is affiliated with Manager the Member who appointed Manager pursuant to Section 8.10 ) and no other Member shall be required to contribute additional funds on account of such Manager Overrun.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the funding of Manager Overruns shall not constitute Additional Capital Contributions and shall not adjust Percentage Interests.  Manager Overruns shall be repaid to Manager out of Net Cash Flow or Net Proceeds pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(ii) or 6.1(b)(iv) , as applicable and 6.2 . If Sponsor fails to pay to the Company within the 45-day period immediately following the Tender Date the entire amount of Manager Overruns as required pursuant to this Section 3.2 , then Investor shall have the right to remove Sponsor as the Manager for cause pursuant to Section 8.10 ; it being understood that the remedies set forth in this Article 3 for the failure to fund Additional Capital Contributions shall not apply to the failure to fund contributions on account of Manager Overruns.
 3.3.              Failure to Make Additional Capital Contributions .

Shortfall Contributions .  In the event that Additional Capital Contributions are required to be made by the Members under Section 3.2 , and any Member has tendered its entire share of the required Additional Capital Contributions on or before the Tender Date (a " Contributing Member "), and the other Member has failed to tender its entire share of the required Additional Capital Contributions on or before the Tender Date (a " Non-Contributing Member "), the Contributing Member shall have the right to make Additional Capital Contributions to cover the shortfall amount.  The amount of an Additional Capital Contribution made by the Contributing Member equal to the amount of Additional Capital Contribution that Non-Contributing Member failed to fund is the " Shortfall Contribution ".
(b)
Member Loans .  If any Member elects to convert a Shortfall Contribution into a member loan (a " Member Loan ") pursuant to Section 3.2(c) , the Manager shall notify the Non-Contributing Member of the amount and date of the Member Loan and the Capital Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be credited to reflect the payment of the proceeds of the Member Loan to the Company. Each Member Loan shall be deemed to be made to the Non-Contributing Member, with the proceeds of each Member Loan being delivered to the Company in immediately available funds by the Contributing Member on such Non-Contributing Member's behalf. A Member Loan shall be deemed to have been advanced on the applicable Tender Date on which such Shortfall Contribution was due from the Non-Contributing Member.  Member Loans shall earn interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof through the date of repayment at a rate equal to the Member Loan Rate from the date deemed to have been advanced.
(c)
Member Loan Terms .  Member Loans shall be secured as provided in this Section 3.3(c) and Section 3.3(d) (but otherwise non-recourse) and be repayable by and collectible from the Non-Contributing Member only as set forth in this Section 3.3 . While a Member Loan is outstanding, the Non-Contributing Member's distributions of Net Cash Flow and Net Proceeds or any proceeds from the transfer of all or any part of its interests in the Company shall (until all Member Loans made to such Non-Contributing Member and interest thereon shall have been repaid in full) be paid to the Contributing Members in accordance with the applicable Member Loan. Such payments shall be applied first to the payment of interest on such Member Loans and then to the repayment of the principal amounts thereof, but shall be considered, for all other purposes of this Agreement, to have been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member. Distributions of Net Cash Flow and Net Proceeds to such Non-Contributing Member shall be immediately reinstated prospectively upon the full repayment of a Member Loan and interest thereon to the Contributing Members. The Non-Contributing Member shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Contributing Members (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) in connection with any enforcement or foreclosure upon any Member Loan and such costs shall, to the extent enforceable under applicable law, be added to the principal amount of the applicable Member Loan; provided that a Member Loan may only be foreclosed if a Non-Contributing Member receives distributions of Net Cash Flow and Net Proceeds prior to repayment of the Member Loan. In addition, at any time during the term of such Member Loan, the Non-Contributing Member shall have the right to repay, in full, the Member Loan (including interest).  If the Non-Contributing Member receives distributions of Net Cash Flow and Net Proceeds prior to repayment of the Member Loan, the Contributing Members shall have all rights and remedies available to them at law or in equity.

Exhibit A
Initial Business Plan and Budget
























JDS Development Group / PMG
STEINWAY | WEST 57 TH STREET
Preliminary Development Business Plan Summary
JDS Development Group ("JDS") and Property Markets Group ("PMG") (together the "Developer(s)" and/or "Sponsor(s)") are acquiring the two adjacent development sites located at 105 – 111 West 57 th Street, New York, NY (the "Property" and/or "Project") with plans to build an approximate combined 346,000 gross square foot luxury residential tower, hotel and retail project.
The preliminary development plans call for a newly built high-rise luxury residential tower reaching approximately 900-feet high, providing full floor units with views of Central Park and the New York City skyline.  In addition, the Sponsors plan on converting and adjoining the adjacent Steinway Building that will allow for a five-star hotel or additional luxury residential units as well as substantial retail space.  The Sponsors also plan on creating a top-tier amenity package complimentary to the luxury product being developed.
The Sponsors will immediately begin pre-development, which is expected to take place over an approximate 12-14 month period.  At such time when pre-development is completed, the Sponsors will seek construction financing in the approximate amount of $413.6 million, coupled with approximately $222.6 million of total equity invested, that will provide for the total development capitalization of approximately $636.2 million.
Construction is expected to take 24 – 36 months from the completion of the pre-development period, with marketing & pre-sales to begin prior to the completion date.  The total gross sellout of the project is estimated to reach over $1.2 billion.

8.2.1
Acceleration
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, the Make Whole Premium, Exit Fees and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, the Make Whole Premium, Exit Fees and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2
Remedies Cumulative
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3
Severance
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4
Delay
. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, the Reserves or any other collateral.

If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender's exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower's and Lender's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents
. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
10.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries
. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
10.20 Assignment
. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender's rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
10.21 Set-Off
. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
10.22 Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
10.23              Waiver of Stay
.  Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, relief from the automatic stay arising under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall automatically be granted in favor of the Lender, its successors and/or assigns, and Borrower (a) shall consent to and not contest or oppose any motion made by the Lender for such relief and shall not seek to reinstate the automatic stay pursuant to section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) acknowledges and agrees that the occurrence or existence of an event of default under any of the Loan Documents shall, in and of itself, constitute "cause" for relief from the automatic stay pursuant to section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
10.24              Joint and Several
. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.
10.25              Contribution
. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Debt constituting a portion of the Loan made to another Borrower hereunder or other Debt incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an " Accommodation Payment "), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower's Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the " Allocable Amount " of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower "insolvent" within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (" UFTA ") or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (" UFCA "), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.
10.26              Make Whole Premium
10.27              . Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Make Whole Premium End Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender's acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Make Whole Premium applicable thereto. Such Make Whole Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.26 , as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower's obligation to pay a Make Whole Premium; and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Make Whole Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

JDS Development Group / PMG

STEINWAY | WEST 57 TH STREET
Preliminary Development Business Plan Summary


JDS Development Group ("JDS") and Property Markets Group ("PMG") (together the "Developer(s)" and/or "Sponsor(s)") are acquiring the two adjacent development sites located at 105 – 111 West 57 th Street, New York, NY (the "Property" and/or "Project") with plans to build an approximate combined 346,000 gross square foot luxury residential tower, hotel and retail project.

The preliminary development plans call for a newly built high-rise luxury residential tower reaching approximately 900-feet high, providing full floor units with views of Central Park and the New York City skyline.  In addition, the Sponsors plan on converting and adjoining the adjacent Steinway Building that will allow for a five-star hotel or additional luxury residential units as well as substantial retail space.  The Sponsors also plan on creating a top-tier amenity package complimentary to the luxury product being developed.

The Sponsors will immediately begin pre-development, which is expected to take place over an approximate 12-14 month period.  At such time when pre-development is completed, the Sponsors will seek construction financing in the approximate amount of $413.6 million, coupled with approximately $222.6 million of total equity invested, that will provide for the total development capitalization of approximately $636.2 million.

Construction is expected to take 24 – 36 months from the completion of the pre-development period, with marketing & pre-sales to begin prior to the completion date.  The total gross sellout of the project is estimated to reach over $1.2 billion.

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report was prepared in general accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527-05.
Property Solutions notes the following recognized environmental conditions (RECS) were identified by Langan in connection with the subject property.
(1)              REC 1 — Fuel Oil AST
Langan observed a fuel oil fill port and potential vent pipe along the sidewalk located directly south of the subject property's southeast corner. Additionally, NYC Department of Buildings records indicate that a fuel oil powered boiler was present at the subject property prior to the building being demolished in April 2008. Mr. Stern of JDS Development informed Langan that the fill port and piping were related to a former above-ground storage tank (AST) or underground storage tank (UST) previously used to provide fuel oil to the boiler, which was removed during demolition activities. Closure records for the former AST or UST were not provided to JDS Development Group by the previous owner. Based on the potential for petroleum spills or leaks associated with the former fuel oil AST or UST and associated piping, Langan considers the former tank to be a REC.

their Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests were obtained particularly from the NYC Fire department, which may have provided documentation on the former fuel oil tank.
(2)           
REC 2 - Historic Surrounding Property Use
Langan reports that, according to the City Directory Abstract, Valet and Laundry Cleaners Service was listed at 1405 6th Avenue, an eastern adjoining property, from 1938 to 1968. In addition, Louise and Colvill Cleaners and Dyers was listed at 1394 6th Avenue, approximately 270 feet southeast of the Subject Property, from 1938 to 1942. thy cleaning facilities commonly use chlorinated solvents during the cleaning process. Spilled solvents may have impacted subject property groundwater and soil vapor.
Property Solutions concurs with Langan's conclusion and concern regarding nearby historic dry cleaning operations.
(3)           
REC 3 — Backfill Soil Quality
Following demolition of the Subject Property building, the basement levels were backfilled with soil and demolition debris. No documentation was available for review pertaining to the environmental quality of the backfilled soil. Soil from an unknown or uncharacterized source may contain environmental impacts (e.g., metals, pesticides, herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls, semivolatile organic compounds, volatile organic compounds).
Property Solutions concurs with Langan's reasoning and conclusion regarding the presence and unknown quality of on-site fill.
Property Solutions notes that no recommendations were made by Langan for further investigation. While ASTM does not require recommendations be made during a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, based on the findings identified by Langan, Property Solutions recommends a subsurface soil and groundwater investigation be conducted, if not already performed, to assess the potential impacts from on-site fill material, off-site dry cleaning operations, and the former on-site fuel oil tank.
Property Solutions also notes the following with regard to the ASTM E1527-05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process.

Property Solutions notes the report is dated April 12, 2012 and is therefore older than 180 days. Property Solutions recommends that the report be updated by (1) conducting interviews with the owners, (2) obtain and review a new regulatory

Property Coverage

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report was prepared in general accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527-05.
Property Solutions notes the following recognized environmental conditions (RECS), historical RECs (HRECs), de minimis conditions, and additional non-ASTM environmental concerns were identified by Langan in connection with the subject property.
(1) REC 1 — Surrounding Property Use and Petroleum Bulk Storage at Surrounding
Properties
Potential leaks or spills of solvents and/or other hazardous materials typically found at the listed facilities may have adversely impacted groundwater and/or soil vapor at the Subject Property:
·
The Windsor hotel at 1413 6th Avenue (an eastern adjoining property) is associated with a dry cleaning service that was listed as a generator of hazardous solvent-containing waste in 1985 and 1989; this facility was a, verified non-generator (of hazardous waste) in 2006. Another dry

cleaner was identified at 146 West 57th Street, approximately 315 feet west (up-gradient) of the Site; and
·
Several buried gasoline tanks and an electric battery sales and service station were historically located on surrounding properties.
Property Solutions concurs with Langan's conclusions and recommends that a subsurface investigation be conducted to include sampling of soil, groundwater and soil vapor beneath and around the subject property.
(2)           
HREC — Closed in-Place Fuel Oil Tanks
Two closed-in-place No. 6 fuel oil ASTs (5,000 to 8,000-gallons each) and an associated closed spill, related to an overfill in the tank vault, are considered a Historical REC (1IREC). The spill case was administratively closed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and soil samples collected in the vicinity of the tanks after they were decommissioned did not exhibit petroleum impacts
Property Solutions concurs with Langan's conclusion and recommends that the Spill Investigation and Underground Storage Tank Closure Report, prepared by EMTEQUE Corporation (EMTEQUE), dated March 23, 1999 be appended to the Langan report.
(3)           
De Minimis Conditions
Chemical storage areas were observed at multiple locations in the building (mostly in the sub-cellar and basement). Isolated staining and leaking was observed; however, the concrete floor in these areas appeared to be in good condition and floor drains were not observed in these areas. Therefore, it is unlikely that the observed staining/leaks could have impacted the sub-surface.
Property Solutions concurs with Langan's reasoning and conclusion regarding these de minimis conditions.
(4)           
Non-ASTM Environmental Concerns
·
Based on the age of the building, asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) may be present in building materials; and
·
Dental offices were located in the building between 1927 and 1998. Possible releases of mercury into drains may have accumulated in traps and have the potential to adversely impact indoor air. Property Solutions notes that several current dental offices were identified in the report.

Property Solutions notes the Building Manager, Mr. Steven Hennessy informed Langan that asbestos abatement was conducted in the basement approximately 20 years ago; however, he was unaware of other locations where ACM may have been removed. Langan recommended that ACM and LBP should be identified and handled appropriately prior to demolition or renovation activities.
Property Solutions agrees with this recommendation and also recommends that ACM and LBP Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Plans be developed for the subject property. Property Solutions also agrees that the potential for mercury to impact indoor air is not a REC but rather an environmental concern.
Property Solutions also notes the following with regard to the ASTM E1527-05 Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process.
( 5 ) The report does not indicate whether Langan asked the property owner and/or the key site manager to whether certain environmentally-related documents applicable to the subject property exist and, if so, whether copies can and will be provided. This is a requirement cited in Section 10.8 of the ASTM standard practice.
