February 2, 2006 Project # 3091401 Page 3 of 3 5) 2603.5.5 Test Standard: The wall assembly shall be tested in accordance with and comply with the acceptance criteria of NFPA 285. Testing to NFPA 285 is done on the finished wall assembly which includes the cladding (ex. Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFs)). This is a test that is primarily done by the cladding manufacturers to show conformance to NFPA 285 per the requirements of Section 3.3.2.1 and 3.3.2.2 of ICC -ES AC12. This is beyond the scope for an ICF manufacturer. 6) 2603.5.6 Label Required: The edge or face of each piece of foam plastic insulation shall bear the label of an approved agency. Logix ICFs are manufactured under a third party inspection and listing program by Intertek, and all complying Logix ICF are marked with the Intertek — Wamock Hersey Certification Mark. Each ICF is labeled with the following information: Company Name & Contact Information, Manufacturer's Location, Product Description, Complying Test Standards, Warnock Hersey Certification Mark, and Traceability Information (operator name, date, time). 7) 2603.5.7 Ignition: Exterior walls shall not exhibit sustained flaming when tested in accordance with NFPA 268. This section lists a few exceptions that result in the foam plastic insulation not requiring testing in accordance to NFPA 268. Logix ICFs meet the exceptions as a thermal barrier (W gypsum wallboard) complying with Section 2603.4 is used. CONCLUSION It is Intertek's professional opinion after reviewing Section 2603.5 of the 2003 IBC and the evidence shown above, that the Logix ICF meets the requirements for non- combustible construction for exterior walls of buildings of Type I, II, Ill or IV construction. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 604-520 -3321. INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES NA LTD. Warnock Hersey Jr Prepared By: Reviewed By: Kal Kooner, EIT Peter Gildenstem, AScT Engineer, Building Products Asst. Mgr., Engineering Services Enclosure Logix Insulated Concrete Forms Ltd. February 2, 2006 Project # 3091401 Page 2 of 3 The Logix ICFs achieved a 3 hour fire resistance rating when tested by Intertek in Intertek Test Report 3020964(d) dated June 2, 2004. A further study was conducted in which, the Intertek Letter dated November 11, 2003 showed that the presence of plastic ties in the concrete would not affect the ability of the wall to achieve a fire resistance rating of up to 4 hours. 2) 2603.5.2 Thermal Barrier: Any foam plastic insulation shall be separated from the building interior by a thermal barrier meeting the provisions of Section 2603.4. Section 2603.4 requires that the interior of a building be separated from the foam plastic by an approved thermal barrier of % inch (12.7 mm) gypsum wallboard or equivalent thermal barrier that will limit the average temperature rise of the unexposed surface to not more than 250 °F (120 °C) after 15 minutes of fire exposure. The thermal barrier must also be installed in a manner that will remain in place for 15 minutes based on UL1715 (UBC Standard 26-3). ASTM E119 testing per Intertek Test Report 3020964(d) was conducted using a % inch gypsum wallboard, and results showed that the temperature rise after 15 minutes was less than 60 °F on the unexposed side. A standard room fire test per Intertek Test Report 3020964(a) was also conducted in accordance with UBC Standard 26-3, and results showed that the % inch gypsum wallboard remained intact. 3) 2603.5.3 Potential Heat: The potential heat of the foam plastic insulation shall be determined by tests conducted in accordance with NFPA 259. One of the polystyrene beads used in Logix ICF are Huntsmen Grade 40 and 54, for which Southwest Research Institute conducted testing per NFPA 259 and have reported in SwRI Project No. 01.03049.01.303. Results showed potential heat ratings of 17,293 Btu/lb and 17,269 Btu/lb for Grade 40 and 54 respectively. 4) 2603.5.4 Flame Spread and Smoked Developed Indexes: Foam plastic insulation shall have a flame spread index of 25 or less and a smoke- developed index of 450 or less as determined in accordance with ASTM E84. Flame Spread and Smoke Developed indexes have been obtained for Huntsmen Grade 40 and 54, one of the main polystyrene beads used in Logix ICF. These results are reported in Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Test Report 96RT6559, which show that various densities of Huntsmen polystyrene beads all achieve flame spread index ratings less than 25 and smoke - developed indices below 450 when tested in accordance to UL 723. k Intertek ETL SEMKO February 2, 2006 Francis Roma Logix Insulated Concrete Forms Ltd. 327 — 801 Klahanie Drive Port Moody, BC V3H 5K4 Dear Mr. Roma, RE: Installation of Logix ICF in Non - Combustible Construction, Project # 3091401 INTRODUCTION Intertek Testing Services NA Ltd. (Intertek) has reviewed, at the request of Logix Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) Ltd., the requirements for Non - Combustible Construction as it relates to Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) under the 2003 International Building Code (IBC). This evaluation is based on past test reports, and Logix ICF Ltd. current application to ICC -ES to include multi- storey construction. STANDARDS AND CRITERIA • 2003 International Building Code • ICC-ES AC12 "Acceptance Criteria for Foam Plastic Insulation" EVALUATION Wkl.W Section 3.3 of ICC -ES AC12 states that in some instances foam plastic can be permitted where non - combustible materials are required if conditions of the 2003 IBC, Section (..5.Dr* 2603.5 are met. This section has been summarized below, and evidence provided to demonstrate how Logix ICF complies for use in non - combustible construction.

A concentrated load is applied perpendicular to the axis of the screw, which is fastened to the web. The Toad is gradually increased and tested to failure. Deflections are recorded during the duration of the tests. Limiting Oxygen Index — a measure of the EPS to sustain a flame. The measurement is described as the amount of oxygen required (expressed as a percentage) to just support flaming combustion of the EPS when exposed to a flowing mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. The tabulated value is the amount of oxygen in the nitrogen/oxygen mixture required to just keep the EPS aflame. Shear Strength — test to determine the shear strength of the polypropylene web. Smoke Density Rating — a measure of the relative amount of smoke produced by the burning of the polypropylene web. The tabulated value is the amount of loss of light transmission through the smoke produced from the burning of the web, expressed as a percentage. Smoke Developed Rating — see Flame Spread Rating. Standard Room Fire Test — fire test of a room assembly where one comer of the room is built with Logix ICF blocks with cast -in -place concrete, and covered with 'A" drywall. The room is exposed to a column of fire originating in the corner of the room adjacent to the ICF. The ICF is exposed to the fire for 15 minutes and observations recorded. The tabulated value is based on observations that showed melting of the EPS did not extend outside of the column of fire, smoke generated was not excessive, and since there was no damage to the concrete the structural integrity of the wall remained in place. Using 159mm (6.25in) ICF blocks, the size of the comer built with ICF was 2.44m (8ft) long in one direction, 2.44m (8ft) long in the other direction, and 2.44m (8ft) high. Tensile Strength — test to determine the tensile strength of the polypropylene web. Thermal Resistance — a measure of a materials resistance to heat flow through the EPS. The higher the R -value the greater the resistance to heat flow, the better the insulator. Water Absorption — a measure of the ability of the EPS to absorb water. The tabulated value is a ratio of the weight of water absorbed by the EPS to the weight of the EPS dry, expressed as a percentage. The smaller the value the less water absorbed by the EPS. Water Vapour Permeance — the rate at which water vapour will pass through the EPS. During the test, a vapour pressure difference between the two sides of the EPS is produced. The tabulated value is the rate at which the vapour passes through the EPS. The smaller the value the lower the water vapour permeance of the EPS. Withdrawal Fastener Resistance — test to determine the withdrawal strength (or pullout strength) of Type S and Type W drywall screws fastened to the web. A concentrated load was applied parallel to the axis of the screw, which is fastened to the web. The load is gradually increased and tested to failure. Page 11 of 11 Updated: 11/12/2007 • OGIX NSUTATED CONCRETE FORMS www.Iogixicf.com Compressive Strength - indication of the amount of pressure required to compress the EPS to its yield point or by 10% of its original dimension, whichever occurs first. Concrete Pour -in -place - assembly of a Logix ICF wall in which observations were recorded visually for the behaviour of the ICF wall during concrete pouring. Deflections before, during and after the pour were recorded. In addition, the form was structurally inspected to check for any structural damage caused to the ICF form during the pour. Using 203mm (8in) Logix ICF blocks, the wall size was 3.66m (12ft) high by 2.44m (8ft) wide. Density - a measure of the weight of EPS per unit volume. Dimensions - length, width and thickness of full size (finished product) EPS panels measured to ensure the final dimensions are within acceptable tolerances. Dimensional Stability, Thermal & Humid Aging - a measure of dimensional change in EPS after exposure to hot and cold temperatures at high relative humidity for seven days. The EPS is normally exposed to temperatures of 70 °C (158 °F) and -40 °C ( -40 °F) for seven days at 97% or ambient humidity. After exposure the dimensions of the EPS samples are measured at room temperature. The tabulated value is expressed as a percent change in dimensions before and after exposure. The smaller the percent change the smaller the change in dimensions. Fire Endurance Test - fire test of a wall assembly,with cast -in -place concrete. The non -fire exposed side of the wall has no cover or protective barrier; the fire exposed side is covered with 25.4mm (W) drywall over the EPS. The wall assembly is subjected to a bearing Toad of 360kips while exposed to fire until a certain temperature on the wall is reached. The time to reach that temperature including observations are recorded. After the fire test the wall assembly is subjected to the impact, cooling and erosion effects of a hose stream - the hose stream test. Flammability - fire test on the polypropylene web to determine the buming characteristics of the web material. With the web supported in a horizontal position, a flame is applied at one end. The flame front distance is the distance the flame travels from the applied end to the point the flame goes out. The linear bum rate is the rate it takes to travel the flame front distance. Flame Spread & Smoke Developed Rating - flame spread and smoke developed rating is determined from a fire test. Flame spread and smoke developed rating is a surface burning characteristic of a material and is not related to the fire resistance of a material. Flame spread rating is an indication of how fast fire will spread over the EPS from the original flame source. Smoke developed rating is an indication of how much smoke is generated during the fire test. The tabulated values are relative numbers based on calculations from the fire test results. The number is compared to asbestos and red oak, which have a rating of 0 and 100, respectively. Flame spread ratings provide an indication, particularly useful for fire officials, of how fast fire may spread in a building based on the building's materials. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) classifies a material's suitability for use in construction based on its flame spread index. Flexural Strength - measured as the amount of pressure it takes to reach the breaking load of EPS samples in bending. Samples are supported at the ends and a concentrated load is applied at the mid -span of the samples. The load is gradually increased until the samples fail. Formaldehyde Emission - a measure of the amount of formaldehyde released from the EPS when heated to 120 °F (49 °C). Fungi Resistance - a measure of the amount of fungi growth on the EPS when exposed to certain types of fungi.

One 4 x 4 small dump truck which is used to carry produce and for solicitation of sales, and for the farm where it transports workers and pallets to various sites around the Meadows and rented land. 8. One utility pick -up 4 x 4 which is used for sales and promotions and used as Mr. Dimos' primary personal vehicle. 9. Two trailers. These are used to carry equipment to be repaired and to work land in Hatfield, Massachusetts and also to transport hay and vegetables. 10. One loader with fork, bucket and snow plow. As you are no doubt aware, a loader is a common accouterment to a farming operation, and in this case, the loader has been used to lift pallets of cabbages, tomatoes, squash and corn, as well as bags of fertilizer. The bucket has been used to scoop manure and lime It is used as a snow plow during the winter months. 11. Two John Deere 2355 tractors with bucket loaders /forks and an International Cub with a top dresser which is used exclusively in the farm operation. 12. Various planters, specifically a Stanhay four row planter, a Cole MX 12 two row planter, a mechanical transplanter - one row, and a mechanical transplanter - two row, all four of which are used exclusively in the farming operations. 13. Cultivators - a Lilliston two -row cultivator and an I &J two -row cultivator, both of which are used exclusively in the farming operations. 14. A John Deere three bottom plow - used exclusively in the farming operations. 15. Harrows - used exclusively in the farming operations. 16. A Ford ten foot hydraulic, 6 ft. 3 point hitch - used exclusively in the farming operations. 17. A Demco sprayer with lift -up boom - used exclusively in the farming operations. 18. A vegetable processor and washer - used exclusively in the farming operations. 19. Tomato sizers - two units, used exclusively for the fanning operations. 20. A grading table, which is used exclusively for the farming operations. 21. A top dress three point hitch, which is used exclusively for the farming operations. I am informed that Mr. Dimos has planted 40 arbor vitae around his property in order to screen this equipment from view. I have instructed him to undertake any additional measures that might be helpful to further screen the property from public view. Farming is, of course, a seasonal operation, and as you are no doubt aware, it is not at all uncommon for farm machinery to be used in other enterprises, particularly during the winter. That is the case here. I hope that I have provided you with sufficient information to allay any concerns that you may have about the equipment at my client's property. If, however, you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Ver truly yours ! i John H.

C. & Company, Inc., utilizes at the property at 140 Fair Street Extension. Most of the equipment specified herein was listed in a December 27, 2005 letter to Building Commission Anthony Patillo, although there have been some changes since that time. As you know, there is an active farming operation at 140 Fair Street Extension - growing tomatoes, corn, squash, cabbage, hay, peppers and the like. This year, the land will be used to grow potatoes. Mr. Dimos also operates a small excavating business, excavating foundations, footings and septic systems, etc. and uses some of the farming equipment in connection with this business. During the winter time, when the equipment is not used for fanning, some of it is also used for plowing and sanding purposes. Mr. Dimos informs me that he owns the following equipment: 1. Hay wagon - this equipment is stored in the winter. 2. Vacuum truck - this equipment is used in farm operations as an irrigator, but is also used in sewer service. 3. Three lime spreaders, which are also used as sanders during the winter. 4. Two Bobcats with forks and loaders which are used to clean up manure and compost. 5. One mini- excavator which is used to plant trees and shrubs in the farm operation, as well as excavating plants for sale. 6. Two dump trucks. These trucks have been used not only in the excavating and sewer business, but also for agricultural purposes. They have been used to haul manure, animal feed corn, lime, etc. 140 FAIR ST= EXT , BP-2009-0259 • , els # 0t$11040 4' -- MASSACHUSETTS Map :Block: 32 - 003 Lot: -001 - PERSONS CONTRA.CTINGWITI CONTRACTORS Permit: Building DO NOT HAVE ACCESS'TOTHEc FUND (M(31... c.142A) Category: ADDITION 1 PERIIVIIT Permit # BP-2009-0259 Project # JS-2008-000826 Est.
