                             POST-CLOSING AGREEMENT

     THIS POST-CLOSING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the 31 day of
October, 2003, by INLAND PARK PLACE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Illinois limited
partnership, having its principal place of business at 2901 Butterfield Road,
Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 ("Borrower"), to BEAR STEARNS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE,
INC., a New York corporation, having an address at 383 Madison Avenue, New York,
New York 10179 ("Lender").

                                    RECITALS:

     A.   Borrower by its promissory note of even date herewith given to Lender
(the note together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions
and amendments thereof shall collectively be referred to as the "Note") is
indebted to Lender in the principal sum of THIRTEEN MILLION ONE HUNDRED TWENTY
SEVEN THOUSAND AND No/100 DOLLARS ($13,127,000.00) advanced pursuant to the Loan
Agreement of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender (together with all
extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and amendments thereof, the
"Loan Agreement"), in lawful money of the United States of America, with
interest from the date thereof at the rates set forth in the Note (the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, together with such interest accrued thereon,
shall collectively be referred to as the "Loan"), principal and interest to be
payable in accordance with the terms and conditions provided in the Note.

     B.   The Loan is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust and
Security Agreement (the "Security Instrument"), dated as of the date hereof,
which grants Lender a first lien on the property encumbered thereby (the
"Property"). All and any of the documents other than the Note, the Security
Instrument and this Agreement now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or
others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or
guarantee payment of the Note are referred to as the "Other Security Documents."

     C.   Lender was unwilling to make the Loan to Borrower unless Borrower
agreed to timely perform the matters set forth herein.

                                   AGREEMENT:

     For good and valuable consideration the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS. Borrower covenants and agrees to deliver to
Lender:

          (a) within sixty (60) days of the date hereof, an original estoppel
letter executed by Michaels Stores, Inc. that does not contain an alleged
potential default for a roof leak, and is otherwise in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion; and

          (b) within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, seven (7) copies of a
revised survey of the Property, certified to Lender and its successors and
assigns and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Lender.

governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York.

     3.   NOTICES. All notices or other written communications to Borrower or

     Either party by notice to the other may designate additional or different
addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

     4.   NO ORAL CHANGE. This Agreement, and any provisions hereof, may not be
modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or
by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is
sought.

     5.   LIABILITY. If Borrower consists of more than one person, the

Agreement shall be construed without such provision.

     7.   HEADINGS, ETC. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as
defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

     8.   DUPLICATE ORIGINALS; COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to
be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which

     10.  SECONDARY MARKET/SERVICING. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or

condition of Borrower as may be requested by Lender, any Investor or any
prospective Investor in connection with any sale, transfer or participation

including the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement and the Other
Security Documents, or may delegate some or all of such responsibility and/or
obligations to a servicer including, but not limited to, any subservicer or
master servicer. Lender may make such assignment or delegation on behalf of the
Investors if the Note is sold or this Agreement or the Other Security Documents
are assigned. All references to Lender herein shall refer to and include any
such servicer to the extent applicable.

right given to it to approve or disapprove, (ii) any arrangement or term is to
be satisfactory to Lender, or (iii) any other decision or determination is to be

that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory and all other
decisions and determinations made by Lender, shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be
