<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the First Industrial, L.P. 401(k) Plan (the
&#147;Plan&#148;) at December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule&nbsp;H, line 4i &#151; Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year)
is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor&#146;s Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA
Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans </I>(&#147;the

net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would
receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The Plan
invests in investment contracts through a collective trust. As required by the FSP, the Statement
of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts held in
the collective trust as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts held in the collective trust from fair value to contract value. The Statement of

    <TD>The Plan invests in a collective trust fund. Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio, the collective

investment contracts issued by insurance companies (&#147;GICs&#148;), investment contracts issued by
commercial banks (&#147;BICs&#148;), synthetic investment contracts or wrap contracts, comprising
underlying assets (typically fixed-income securities or bond funds and may include derivative
instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements) and a &#147;wrapper&#148; contract issued by a
third party, and cash equivalents represented by units of a money market portfolio (collectively,

Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements </I>(&#147;SFAS 157&#148;) and subsequently

hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level
1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly
observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists,
therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.</TD>

classified as a Level 2 investment. The collective trust is not available on an exchange in an
active market; however, the fair value is determined based on the underlying investments as
traded on an exchange in an active market using the most recent bid prices available, or, if
prices are not readily available, securities may be valued by other methods. These methods
include reviewing price movements in future contracts and American depository receipts, market
and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off exchange institutional trading, and
then making a good faith determination of a security&#146;s value. Included in the collective trust
are wrapper contracts in the amount of $1,292.

overall valuation of the collective trust. As a result, the Company has determined that the
valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

    <TD>Although the Employer has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan, it was established
with the intention that the Plan and the payment of contributions will be indefinite. In the
event of termination, each participant or beneficiary, as the case may be, is entitled to receive
any amounts credited to his or her accounts in the Plan, provided, however, that the Employer is
not required to effect such distribution until written evidence of approval of such termination
and distribution has been received from the Commissioner of the IRS. Presently, there is no
intention on part of the Employer to terminate the Plan.</TD>

    <TD>The IRS has determined and informed the Employer by letter dated August&nbsp;11, 2004, that the Plan
is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (&#147;IRC&#148;).
Accordingly, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being
operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 401(a) of the IRC. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes has been recorded by the Plan.</TD>

    <TD>During 2007 and 2008, the Company identified inconsistencies between the employees participating
in the Plan and those defined as an eligible class under the Plan. Therefore, the Company
executed amendments to the Plan, effective May&nbsp;22, 1997, to include First Industrial Investment,
Inc. (inclusive of any former entity names) as a related employer whose employees are included in
the eligible class of participants under the Plan. The Company submitted an application to the
IRS under the Voluntary Correction Program for approval of the correction and is awaiting comment
from the IRS. The error correction is not expected to have a significant impact on the Plan.</TD>
