It is also important to note that once Inter Pipeline becomes a taxable entity in 2011, cash distributions will receive more favourable tax treatment than is currently the case. Today the vast majority of Inter Pipeline's cash distributions are classified as business or interest income for tax purposes. Distributions paid after January 1, 2011 will be treated as eligible Canadian dividends, resulting in a lower effective tax rate in the hands of the taxable investor. For example, using 2009 enacted tax rates, a Canadian resident in the highest marginal tax bracket would have their effective tax rate on taxable distributions reduced by approximately 18% to 25% depending on their province of residence. This more favourable tax treatment will apply to the taxable portion of Inter Pipeline's distributions, excluding a minor amount of interest income sourced from foreign operations.

Investors should be advised that income tax rates are continually subject to future legislative changes, and unitholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding tax-related matters.

The decision to increase monthly cash distributions was made following completion of Inter Pipeline's annual strategic planning process. This process involves a detailed review of financial and operating performance, growth projects under development and the long term strategic positioning of the business.

"The distribution increase announced today is a clear indication of our strong, confident outlook for the business," commented David Fesyk, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Inter Pipeline's industry fundamentals remain strong and major capital projects under development are advancing according to plan. In the near term, these projects will add significant new cash flow and further enhance the long term sustainability of distributions to unitholders."

Inter Pipeline has successfully advanced several major organic development projects in recent years. A $1.8 billion capacity expansion project on the Corridor pipeline system is now mechanically complete and will begin generating incremental cash flow no later than January 1, 2011. Pipeline capacity expansion work continues on the Cold Lake oil sands system under a multi-year, phased expansion program. In addition, Inter Pipeline recently announced a new diluent supply contract for Imperial Oil and ExxonMobil Canada's Kearl oil sands development and a new segregated oil delivery project on the Bow River pipeline system. Collectively, these expansion projects are expected to increase EBITDA by approximately $200 million per year when in service. This represents an increase of roughly 60% above Inter Pipeline's 2008 EBITDA of $343 million.

Since inception in 1997, Inter Pipeline has distributed $8.81 per unit, or more than $1.2 billion in cash payments to its unitholders. The currently announced distribution increase represents Inter Pipeline's 6th consecutive increase in cash distributions.

Consistent with previous guidance, Inter Pipeline continues to believe that it is well positioned to maintain cash distributions, including the announced monthly rate increase, despite becoming a taxable entity in 2011.
