ARTICLE I:                                  PLAN
OF MERGER


 


1.1                                 Merger.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 23-18-7 et. seq. of the IBFA and Section 23-1-40
et. seq. of the IBCL, the Acquired Company shall be merged with and into the
Limited Liability Company at the Effective Time (as defined below).  The Limited Liability Company shall be the
surviving entity resulting from the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”), and the
separate existence of the Acquired Company will cease.  The Surviving Entity shall continue its
existence as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of
Indiana, and its name shall be changed to “KMI Realty Advisors, LLC.”


 


1.2                                 Closing.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing hereunder
(the “Closing”) shall occur, at the election of the REIT, (i) one business day
prior to the closing of the Kite IPO, (ii) concurrently with the closing of the
Kite IPO, or (iii) one business day following the closing of the Kite IPO,
which date the Limited Liability Company shall designate in writing to the
Acquired Company at least five business days prior to such date, at the same
location as the closing of the Kite IPO, provided that the conditions for the
Closing as set forth in Article IV hereof shall have occurred (or have
been waived by the party that benefits from such conditions), and this
Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article VI hereof.  The date on which the Closing occurs is
referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”


 


1.3                                 Effective
Time. If all the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article IV
shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance herewith and this Agreement
shall not have been terminated as provided in Article VI, following the
Closing, the parties hereto shall, at such time as they deem advisable, cause
articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Indiana in accordance with Section 23-1-40-5 and
other applicable provisions of the IBCL and the applicable provisions of the
IBFA. The Merger shall become effective on the filing of the Articles of Merger
with the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana, or such other time specified
in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).


 


2

















 


1.4                                 Operating
Agreement. The operating agreement of the Limited Liability Company in
effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the operating agreement
of the Surviving Entity (subject to any subsequent amendment).


 


1.5                                 Effects
of the Merger. The merger shall have the effects set forth in
Section 23-1-40-6 of the IBCL and Section 23-18-7-5 of the IBFA.


 


1.6                                 Taxation.
It is intended that the Merger shall be treated, for federal income tax
purposes, as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and that
this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization under
Section 368(a) of the Code. It is also intended that the Limited Liability
Company be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for federal income
tax purposes. For this reason, the Limited Liability Company will not elect to
be classified as a corporation for any period prior to the effective time of
the Merger. The Limited Liability Company will be treated by default as an
entity disregarded as separate from its owner pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) for all periods prior to the effective time
of the Merger.  Furthermore, it is intended
that, if permissible under relevant state law, the Limited Liability Company be
disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for state tax purposes.


 


ARTICLE II:  EFFECT ON
CAPITAL STOCK AND MEMBERSHIP INTEREST


 


2.1                                 Effect
on Capital Stock of the Acquired Company. At the Effective Time, by virtue
of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of
Common Stock of the Acquired Company:


 


(a)                                  Outstanding
Capital Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of the
Acquired Company shall be converted into and become a number of fully paid and
nonassessable REIT Common Shares equal to (a) $101,780.00 divided by (b) the
public offering price per share for REIT Common Shares as set forth in the
REIT’s final prospectus relating to the Kite IPO (rounded to the nearest whole
REIT Common Share).


 


(b)                                 Cancellation
of Company Owned Stock. Any shares of Common Stock that are owned by the
Acquired Company shall be canceled and retired and no consideration shall be
delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.


 


(c)                                  Stock
Certificates.  At the Effective
Time, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock of the Acquired
Company will be deemed for all purposes to evidence the same number of REIT
Common Shares until such certificate is exchanged for a certificate
representing REIT Common Shares. 
Following the Effective Time, the REIT shall issue a certificate
representing the number of REIT Common Shares to the Shareholder upon surrender
by the Shareholder of the certificate(s), properly endorsed for transfer,
representing shares of Common Stock of the Acquired Company, together with such
other documents as may be reasonably requested by the REIT in connection
therewith.


 


2.2                                 Outstanding
Membership Interests. The 100% interest of the REIT in the Limited
Liability Company shall continue unchanged as a 100% interest of the Surviving
Entity.

3.8                                 Securities
Law Matters; Restrictions on Transfer.


 


(a)                                  The
Acquired Company and the Shareholder acknowledge that the REIT intends the
offer and issuance of the REIT Common Shares to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and
applicable state securities laws by virtue of (i) the status of the Shareholder
and each member of the Shareholder as an “accredited investor” within the
meaning of the federal securities laws, and (ii) Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act, and that the REIT will rely in part upon the representations
and warranties made by the Acquired Company and the Shareholder in this
Agreement in making the determination that the offer and issuance of the REIT
Common Shares qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act.


 


5

















 


(b)                                 The
Shareholder and each member of the Shareholder is an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of the federal securities laws.


 


(c)                                  The
Shareholder will acquire the REIT Common Shares for his own account and not
with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Shareholder does not intend or
anticipate that the Shareholder will rely on its investment in the REIT Common
Shares as a principal source of income.


 


(d)                                 The
Shareholder has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial, tax and
business matters to enable the Shareholder to evaluate the merits and risks of
investment in the REIT Common Shares. The Shareholder has adequate means of
providing for the Shareholder’s current and anticipated financial needs and
contingencies, has the ability to bear the economic risk of acquiring the REIT
Common Stock for an indefinite period of time and has no need for liquidity in
the REIT Common Stock and could afford loss of all such investment. The
Acquired Company and the Shareholder each acknowledges that (i) the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement involve complex tax consequences
for the Shareholder, and the Shareholder is relying solely on the advice of its
own tax advisors in evaluating such consequences, (ii) neither the REIT
nor the Limited Liability Company has made (nor shall it be deemed to have
made) any representations or warranties as to the tax consequences of such
transaction to the Acquired Company or the Shareholder, and
(iii) references in this Agreement to the intended tax effect of the
transactions contemplated hereby shall not be deemed to imply any
representation by the REIT or the Limited Liability Company as to a particular
tax effect that may be obtained by the Shareholder.  The Shareholder remains solely responsible for all tax matters
relating to them.


 


(e)                                  The
Acquired Company, the Shareholder and each of the Shareholder’s members have
been supplied with, or had access to, information to which a reasonable
investor would attach significance in making an investment decision to acquire
the REIT Common Shares and any other information the Acquired Company, the
Shareholder or the Shareholder’s members has requested.  The Acquired Company, the Shareholder and
the Shareholder’s members have had an opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive information and answers from, the REIT concerning the REIT, the REIT
Common Shares and the other Kite IPO Transactions, and to assess and evaluate
any information supplied to them by the REIT, and all such questions have been
answered, and all such information has been provided to their respective full
satisfaction.


 


(f)                                    The
Acquired Company and the Shareholder acknowledge that they are aware that there
are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the REIT Common Shares
and that the REIT Common Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws. The Shareholder agrees that any REIT Common
Shares it acquires will not be sold in the absence of registration unless such
sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.  The Shareholder
acknowledges that it shall be responsible for compliance with all conditions on
transfer imposed by any securities authority and for any expenses incurred by
the REIT for legal or accounting services in connection with reviewing such a
proposed transfer or issuing opinions in connection therewith.

(g)                                 The
Acquired Company and the Shareholder understand that no federal agency
(including the Securities and Exchange Commission) or state agency has made or
will make any finding or determination as to the fairness of an investment in
the REIT Common Shares (including as to the merger consideration).


 


(h)                                 The
Acquired Company and the Shareholder understand that Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act is not currently available with respect to the sale of REIT
Common Shares.


 


(i)                                     All certificates representing REIT Common
Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth
below (or a legend of like effect)  in
conspicuous type (together with any other legends required by law or otherwise
placed on such certificates):


 


THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS (“STATE ACTS”) AND MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED ONLY UPON REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE STATE ACTS
OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.


 


In addition, all such
certificates shall bear an appropriate restrictive legend specifying that the
REIT Common Shares represented by such certificate are held by an affiliate of
the REIT (or, in the absence of such a legend, an appropriate notation shall be
made in the records of the REIT and/or appropriate stop-transfer instructions
shall be issued to the transfer agent).

Waiver.  Any amendment hereto shall
be effective only if signed by all parties hereto.  No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid
unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.


 


7.2                                 Entire
Agreement; Counterparts; Applicable Law. 
This Agreement shall (a) constitute the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the transactions expressly contemplated hereby
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original
and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, and (c) shall be
governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the
laws of the State of Indiana.


 


7.3                                 Assignability.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns;
provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation
of law) by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties,
and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no
effect; provided, further, however, that the Limited Liability Company may
assign this Agreement and any agreement contemplated hereunder or thereunder to
an affiliate of the Limited Liability Company, or to any entity into which the
Limited Liability Company is reorganized without the consent of the Acquired
Company.


 


7.4                                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto.  The parties further agree to replace such
void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable
provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and
other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any
amendment, consent or agreement deemed necessary or desirable by the REIT to
effect such replacement.


 


7.5                                 Equitable
Remedies.  The parties hereto agree
that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement was not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties
shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any
federal or state court located in the State of Indiana (as to which the parties
agree to submit to jurisdiction for the purposes of such action), this being in
addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.


 


7.6                                 Time
of the Essence.  Time is of the
essence with respect to the Acquired Company’s obligations under this
Agreement.

7.7                                 No
Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article II,
this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties
hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
