In addition, i
f the sale of the Forrer Property does not occur within 30 days after the expiration of the due diligence period, K&B can either terminate the Agreement of Sale and receive back its deposit or request a 30 day extension.  If IPC elects to extend the closing date by 30 days, the deposit will become non-refundable.  If IPC does not agree to an extension, K&B will receive back its deposit. The Agreement of Sale also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.<p>This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
