W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith,
executed by INLAND REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (the
"Borrower") and payable to the order of Lender in the original stated principal
amount of $4,658,496.00 (together with all renewals, modifications, increases

time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (the "Loan");

WHEREAS, the Loan is further evidenced by that certain Blocked Account Control

Agreement”), and that certain Security Agreement between Guarantor and Lender
(the “Security Agreement”), each of even date herewith (all of the foregoing

WHEREAS, Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to

WHEREAS, Guarantor will derive a financial benefit from the making of this
Guaranty;

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and
to make the Loan to Borrower as described therein and to extend such additional
credit as Lender may from time to time agree to extend, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

1.1              Guaranty of Obligation. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment
and performance of the Guaranteed Debt (as herein defined) as and when the same
shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity
or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and
agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Debt as a primary obligor.

1.2              Definition of Guaranteed Debt. As used herein, the term
"Guaranteed Debt" means all of the following:

1

 

 

(a)                all interest, reasonable attorneys' fees, commitment fees,
liabilities for costs and expenses and other indebtedness and liabilities of
Borrower to Lender at any time created or arising in connection with the Loan,
or any amendment thereto or substitution therefor, including but not limited to
all indebtedness and liabilities of Borrower to Lender arising under the Note,
or under any renewals, modifications, increases and extensions of the Note, or
under the Loan Documents;

(b)               all liabilities of Borrower for future advances, extensions of
credit, sales on account or other value at any time given or made by Lender to
Borrower arising under the Loan Documents, whether or not the advances, credit
or value are given pursuant to commitment;

(c)                other than the principal indebtedness evidenced by the Note,
any and all other indebtedness and liabilities of every kind and character of
Borrower to Lender arising under the Loan Documents, whether now or hereafter
existing or arising, regardless of whether such present or future indebtedness
and liabilities be direct or indirect, related or unrelated, liquidated or
unliquidated, primary or secondary, joint, several, or joint and several, or
fixed or contingent;

(d)               any and all post-petition interest and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) whether or not allowed under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, or other similar law; and

(e)                all costs, expenses and fees, including but not limited to
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (subject to Section 5.13 hereof),
arising in connection with the collection of any or all amounts, indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender described in items (a) through
(d) of this Section..

1.3              Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute,
continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.
This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective
with respect to any Guaranteed Debt arising or created after any attempted
revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor's
death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor's estate and
Guarantor's legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from
time to time the Guaranteed Debt may be increased, reduced or paid in full shall
not release, discharge or reduce the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with
respect to indebtedness or obligations of Borrower thereafter incurred (or other
Guaranteed Debt thereafter arising) under the Note or otherwise. This Guaranty
may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Guaranteed Debt and
shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the
Guaranteed Debt.

2

 

 

1.4              Guaranteed Debt Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Debt and
the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be
reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future
offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender or
against payment of the Guaranteed Debt, whether such offset, claim or defense
arises in connection with the Guaranteed Debt (or the transactions creating the
Guaranteed Debt) or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing or Guarantor's
liability hereunder, to the extent that Lender advances funds or extends credit
to Borrower, and does not receive payments or benefits thereon in the amounts
and at the times required or provided by applicable agreements or laws,
Guarantor is absolutely liable to make such payments to (and confer such
benefits on) Lender, on a timely basis.

1.5              Payment by Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt
shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at maturity or earlier by
acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender,
and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment,
notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the
maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United
States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Debt to Lender at Lender's
address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident
with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Debt, and
may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of
Guaranteed Debt. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in
accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

1.6              No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender
(and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require
Lender), in order to enforce such payment by Guarantor, first to (i) institute
suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Guaranteed
Debt or any other person, (ii) enforce Lender's rights against any collateral
which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt, (iii) enforce
Lender's rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Debt, (iv) join
Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Debt in any action seeking to
enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any
collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt, or
(vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Debt.
Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to
reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Debt.

1.7              Agreement and Wavier of Notice. To the extent permitted by law,
Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives
notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (ii) acceptance
of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note or of any other
Loan Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any
other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower's execution and delivery of any
promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents, (v) the
occurrence of any breach by Borrower or Event of Default (as defined in the Loan
Documents), (vi) Lender's transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Debt, or any
part thereof, (vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or
foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt, (viii) protest, proof of
non-payment or default by Borrower, or (ix) any other action at any time taken
or omitted by Lender, and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in
connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements
evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Debt and the
obligations hereby guaranteed.

1.8              Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach
or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall,
immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including
court costs and attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or
the preservation of Lender's rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this
Section shall survive the payment of the Guaranteed Debt.

1.9              Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law,
or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore
any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in satisfaction of the
Guaranteed Debt, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the
terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect, and
this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of
Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be
discharged except by Guarantor's performance of such obligations and then only
to the extent of such performance.

1.10          Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and
all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity
(including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of
Lender) to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any
other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for payment
of any or all of the Guaranteed Debt for any payment made by Guarantor under or
in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise until that date that is three
hundred sixty-seven (367) days from the date that the Indebtedness (as defined
in the Lien Instrument) is paid in full.

1.11          "Borrower". The term "Borrower" as used herein shall include any
new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited),
joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of
any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Borrower
or any interest in Borrower.

4

 

 

1.12          Multiple Guarantors. If (i) this Guaranty is executed by more than
one party constituting Guarantor, it is specifically agreed that Lender may
enforce the provisions hereof with respect to one or more of such parties
constituting Guarantor without seeking to enforce the same as to all or any such
parties; or (ii) one or more additional guaranty agreements ("Other Guaranties")
are executed by one or more additional guarantors ("Other Guarantors"), which
guaranty, in whole or in part, any of the indebtedness or obligations evidenced
by the Loan Documents, it is specifically agreed that Lender may enforce the
provisions of this Guaranty or of the Other Guaranties with respect to one or
more of the parties constituting Guarantor and/or one or more of the Other
Guarantors under the Other Guaranties without seeking to enforce the provisions
of this Guaranty or the Other Guaranties as to all or any of the parties
constituting Guarantor or the Other Guarantors. Each of the parties constituting
Guarantor hereby waives any requirement of joinder of all or any other of the
parties constituting Guarantor or all or any of the Other Guarantors in any suit
or proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or of the Other
Guaranties. The liability hereunder of all parties constituting Guarantor shall
be joint and several.

Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that
Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished,

unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt, or any document or
agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Debt, for any reason

which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or
result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien,
or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or
which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding

relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights.

3.8              Financial Information. All of the financial information
provided by Guarantor to Lender is true and correct in all material respects as

ARTICLE IV

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

4.1              Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term
"Guarantor Claims" shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to
Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct,
contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and
irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note,
contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons
in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or
may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter
be acquired by Guarantor. Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all
rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of
subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor's payment of all or a portion
of the Guaranteed Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined
in the Note) or the occurrence of an event which would, with the giving of
notice or the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default,
Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or
any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.2              Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency proceedings
involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in
any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly
from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which
would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such
dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application upon
the Guaranteed Debt, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to
Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a
credit upon Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the
Guaranteed Debt, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to
the extent that such payments to Lender on Guarantor Claims have contributed
toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Debt, and such subrogation shall be
with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Debt which would have been
unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon Guarantor Claims.

9

 

 

4.3              Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds,
payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor
agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds,
payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have
absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or
distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Lender, and Guarantor
covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.

4.4              Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security
interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower's assets
securing payment of Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and
subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other
encumbrances upon Borrower's assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Debt,
regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender
presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written
consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor's
right it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or
otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or
otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any
liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's relief or insolvency
proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interest,
collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by
Guarantor.

to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and
this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the
remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by
its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this
Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and
intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

affected hereby and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any
and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor. The exercise
by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at
law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of
any other right or remedy.

GUARANTOR AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO GUARANTOR'S GUARANTY OF THE GUARANTEED DEBT
