WITNESSETH:  WHEREAS, Licensor, through its business and that of its predecessor-in-interest, has adopted and used or caused to be used in United States commerce in connection with certain services in the field of real estate the trade name Inland which is registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as U.S. Registration No. 2,786,134 (the Trade Name); and  WHEREAS, Licensee desires to use the Trade Name in connection with the business it is engaged in, as more fully described below; and  WHEREAS, Licensor is willing to grant to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free right to use the Trade Name subject to, and Licensee is willing to use the Trade Name in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.  NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:  I. GRANT OF LICENSE  A. Licensor grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, royalty-free right to use the Trade Name solely in connection with management services for Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (the Services).  Use of the Trade Name by Licensee shall comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  B. Licensor hereby reserves any and all rights not expressly and explicitly granted in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Licensors sole right to authorize or license use of the Trade Name or any other trademarks, designs, domain names, trade names, names or designations which are the same, similar to or incorporate the Trade Name, to any third party for any use whatsoever. Without limiting the rights reserved in the first sentence of this paragraph, Licensor hereby reserves any and all rights to use, authorize use or license use of the   Page 1 of 11    Trade Name or any other trademarks, designs, domain names, trade names, names or designations which are the same, similar to or incorporate the Trade Name in any geographic territory and in any language.  II. OWNERSHIP OF THE TRADE NAME  A. Licensee recognizes the great value of the goodwill associated with the Trade Name and (i) acknowledges that Licensor owns exclusive right, title and interest in and to the Trade Name, and any and all goodwill pertaining thereto (including, without limitation, any trademark applications and/or registrations therefor); (ii) agrees that it will do nothing inconsistent with such ownership including, but not limited to, directly or indirectly challenging the validity of, or otherwise impairing, any intellectual property rights of Licensor in and to the Trade Name, or Licensors ownership thereof, nor may it assist others in doing so, and (iii) agrees that all use of the Trade Name by Licensee shall inure solely to the benefit of Licensor.  Licensee agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall give Licensee any right, title or interest in the Trade Name other than the right to use the Trade Name in accordance with this Agreement.  Licensee agrees not to seek registration of the Trade Name, or any trademarks, designs, domain names, trade names, names or designations similar thereto or which are any abbreviation thereof, with any domestic or foreign governmental or quasi-governmental authority or as part of an Internet domain name. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  B. Licensor may file trademark applications to protect the Trade Name, but Licensor is not required to do so, nor is Licensor required to renew or maintain registrations for the Trade Name.  Licensee agrees to assist Licensor, at Licensors request, in the procurement and maintenance of any protection of Licensors rights in the Trade Name including, without limitation, in the prosecution of trademark applications for the Trade Name in Licensors name.  III. USE OF THE TRADE NAME  A. In connection with its permitted use of the Trade Name, Licensee shall not in any manner represent that it has any ownership interest in the Trade Name, and Licensee specifically acknowledges that its permitted use of the Trade Name shall not create in the Licensee any right, title or interest in the Trade Name.  B. Without detracting from the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed and understood by Licensee that Licensee does not have permission to:  1) sublicense the Trade Name, or 2) transfer, sell or assign any right granted by this Agreement, or 3) modify the Trade Name in any manner whatsoever.  Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that it does not have the right to use the Trade Name in connection with products and services other than as expressly permitted herein.  C. Licensee acknowledges the importance to Licensor of its reputation and goodwill and to the public of maintaining high, uniform standards of quality in the services provided in connection with the Trade Name. Licensee therefore agrees to maintain a high   Page 2 of 11    standard of quality in connection with the Services and its use of the Trade Name in connection therewith commensurate with or better than the high standard maintained by Licensor in connection with its business prior to the effective date, and agrees to perform the Services so as not to impair Licensors reputation or goodwill in connection with the Trade Name. To ensure Licensor the ability to protect the goodwill associated with the Trade Name and the validity and integrity of the Trade Name, and to prevent any deception to the public, Licensee shall operate its business in accordance with the standards and requirements of quality, which from time to time are prescribed by Licensor, and shall use the Trade Name in a manner consistent with any format prescribed by Licensor for any and all media, including without limitation all signage, marketing materials, press releases and on the Internet.  If there are any modifications in the Standard Usage Guidelines, they will be delivered to Licensee in writing. Licensee agrees that such standards shall include but not be limited to strict compliance with all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders of public authorities in effect from time to time and that such laws shall include but not be limited to fair housing laws, antitrust laws, licensing laws, environmental laws, securities laws and consumer laws. Licensee further agrees that such standards shall include the obligation to conduct its business in accordance with the highest ethical standards applicable in its industry. In the event of any failure by Licensee to operate its business in accordance with the standards and requirements set forth herein or as prescribed by Licensor from time to time, or in the event that Licensee engages in any conduct or failure to act that in the sole judgment of  Licensor adversely impacts on the name, reputation, goodwill or business of Licensor, such conduct or failure to act shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.  If such material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Licensor, this Agreement shall be terminated.  D. To determine whether Licensee is complying with this Agreement, Licensor shall have the right to periodically monitor Licensees use of the Trade Name.  Upon request by Licensor, Licensee shall provide Licensor with representative samples of each such use prior to the time the Trade Name is published, including but not limited to the use on all signage, marketing materials, press releases and on the Internet.   If Licensor determines that Licensee is using the Trade Name improperly, and/or in a way that does not meet the standards referred to in Article III. C. above, or requirements set forth herein and/or to which Licensor may require adherence to from time to time, Licensor shall notify Licensee, and Licensee shall remedy the improper use within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice from Licensor. In addition, if Licensor determines that Licensee is engaging in conduct or activities that dilute or damage the value of the goodwill associated with the Trade Name, in each case, Licensor shall provide notice of the conduct or activities to Licensee, and Licensee shall immediately cease the conduct or activities and shall take all actions requested by Licensor to mitigate or remedy any dilution or damage. Use of the Trade Name  in connection with an infringement of any of Licensors or a third partys rights, including but not limited to rights under trademark, patent, trade secret or copyright laws, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. If such material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Licensor, this Agreement shall be terminated.  E. Licensee shall ensure that trademark, service mark, and any and all other proprietary rights notices that are appropriate to protect the Trade Name is conspicuously placed   Page 3 of 11    on all items bearing the Trade Name used by Licensee in accordance with the Standard Usage Guidelines.  In the event that Licensee learns of or has reason to believe that a third party is infringing or threatens to infringe the Trade Name (the Infringement), it shall immediately notify Licensor, and Licensor may take such steps as it believes appropriate (in its sole discretion) to terminate or otherwise address the Infringement.  Licensee agrees to cooperate with Licensor and to provide  support to Licensor in such efforts.  If Licensee chooses to appoint counsel on its own, it shall be at Licensees sole expense. Licensee shall not take any action to prosecute or settle any such Infringement without Licensors written consent.  IV. LEGEND; DISCLAIMER  Upon Licensors request, Licensee shall include 1) a trademark legend satisfactory to Licensor in accordance with the Standard Usage Guidelines indicating that the Trade Name is owned by Licensor and are being used under license and/or 2) a disclaimer that Licensee and not Licensor has produced the materials and is responsible for the content thereof whenever the Trade Name may be used, including but not limited to on signage, marketing materials, letterhead, business cards, flags, checks, documents, promotional items,  press releases or on the Internet. Further, Licensee agrees to display a trademark registration symbol (i.e., ®) immediately after the Trade Name at least once in any piece of printed or visual material in which they appear (and generally  in its first appearance in such material), normally along side the Trade Name.  If the Trade Name appears in any printed or visual material (other than letterhead, envelopes, or business cards) in which another trademark, design, domain name, trade name, name or designation not belonging to Licensor also appears, the words A registered mark of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc. (or such other legend as may be designated by Licensor) shall appear along with the registration symbol next to the Trade Name.

D.

Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of Articles  IB, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XVI, and XX shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  VII.
