The LLC
Interests of each Member in the Company shall be personal property for all
purposes.  All property and interests in
property, real or personal, owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company shall
be deemed owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company as an entity, and no
Member, individually, shall have any ownership of or interest in such property

the Company.  To avoid irreparable damage
to the Company, each Member, on behalf of itself and its successors,
representatives, heirs, and assigns hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and
completely waives, renounces and releases each and all of the following rights
that it has or may have, if any, by virtue of holding LLC Interests in the
Company:  (i) any right of partition
or any right to take any other action that otherwise might be available to such

to take any action in violation or inconsistent with the foregoing, Inland

immediately cause the Company to purchase the Investor LLC Interest of such
Investor pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof.

The Members
agree that irreparable damage would be done to the good will and reputation of
the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the
Company.  Accordingly, to avoid
irreparable damage to the Company each Member hereby irrevocably,
unconditionally and completely waives, renounces and releases its right to seek
a court decree of dissolution or to seek the appointment by a court of a
liquidator for the Company. 
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, each Member hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.8.D
hereof, in the event that an Investor seeks, or attempts to seek, to take any
action in violation or inconsistent with the foregoing, Inland shall be
permitted at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deliver a

which would have otherwise been distributed to a Member, but are retained by
the Company in accordance with this Section 4.5, shall, for all other purposes
of this Agreement, be deemed to have been distributed to such Member.

its sole and absolute discretion.

24

















 


Member. 
Notwithstanding the inference from the foregoing provisions to the
contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1.F shall not be deemed to
reduce any specific time periods for notice otherwise expressly set forth in
this Agreement.


 


G.            Notwithstanding any
provision of this Article VI to the contrary, the Manager hereby covenants and
agrees not to cause the Company to enter into any agreement or take any action,
that, to the knowledge of the Manager, would (i) limit the ability of the
Investors to exercise their Exchange Rights under Section 10.2 of this
Agreement or (ii) interfere with or jeopardize the ability of the Company to
perform or fulfill its obligations under Article X of this Agreement.


 


SECTION
6.2.                                          Duties
and Conflicts.


 


A.            The Members, in
connection with their respective duties and responsibilities hereunder, shall
at all times act in good faith and, except as expressly set forth herein, any
decision or exercise of right of approval, consent, disapproval or deferral of
approval by a Member (including the Manager) is to be made by such Member
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in good faith, but recognizing that
each Member may act in its own economic self interest and in accordance with
such tax and business objectives as it deems appropriate or desirable for such
Member. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Members, no Member
(including the Manager) or any partner, officer, shareholder or employee of any
Member shall receive any salary or other remuneration for its services rendered
pursuant to this Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inland Parent service providers and
property managers may manage the Property pursuant to a separate management
agreement the execution by the Company of which shall expressly not require the
consent of the Investors; provided,
however, that the terms and
conditions of any such agreement or contract shall be on terms no less
favorable to the Company than terms available from unrelated parties.


 


B.            Each Member recognizes
that the other Members (including the Manager) have or may have other business
interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or
competition with the business of the Company and that such other Member
(including the Manager) is entitled to carry on such other business interests,
activities and investments.  No Member
(including the Manager) shall be obligated to devote all or any particular part
of its time and effort to the Company and its affairs.


 


C.            The Manager shall not
be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any error in judgment,
mistake or law or fact or for any other act or thing which it may do or refrain
from doing in connection with the business and affairs of the Company, except
in the case of an intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement (after
written notice to the Manager and a reasonable time to cure) or its willful
misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.


 


SECTION
6.3.                                          Exculpation
and Indemnification.


 


A.            The
Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding
or investigation, whether civil, criminal, investigative or administrative, and
whether external or internal to the Company (other than an action or suit
brought by or in the right of the Company),


 


25

















 


by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the Company, or that, such person
is or was an Affiliate of a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the
Company, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such
Person acted in good faith and in a manner he, she, or it reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such
conduct was unlawful.  The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding whether by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he, she or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, that such Person had reasonable cause to believe that his, her or
its conduct was unlawful.


 


B.            The Company shall
indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in the
right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that he, she or it is or was a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the
Company or is or was an Affiliate of a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of
the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the defense, settlement
or appeal of such action or suit if such Person acted in good faith and in a
manner such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been
adjudicated to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of his, her or its duty to the Company unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.


 


C.            Any indemnification
under Sections 6.3.A or 6.3.B hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made
by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that the indemnification of the Person in question is proper in the
circumstances because that Person has met the applicable standards of conduct
set forth in Sections 6.3.A or 6.3.B hereof. 
Such determination shall be made by the Manager.


 


D.            To the extent that any
Person referred to in Sections 6.3.A or 6.3.B hereof has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, or any appeal or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, or on appeal from any such proceeding, action, suit, claim or matter,
such Person shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorney’s
fees) incurred in connection therewith.


 


E.             Expenses incurred in
any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom may be
paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such matter, as
authorized by the Manager, upon receipt of an acceptable undertaking by or on
behalf of such Person to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be
determined, as provided herein, that such Person is entitled to
indemnification.


 


26

















 


F.             The indemnification
provided by this Section 6.3 shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall not
affect, any other rights to which any Person seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any law, agreement, or otherwise, and shall continue and inure
to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person.


 


G.            The Company may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a
Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the Company against any liability
asserted against such Person and incurred by him, her or it in any such
capacity, or arising out of his, her or its status as such, whether or not the
Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability
under the provisions of this Section. 
Such insurance may include “tail” coverage for periods after termination
of service in such capacity or after liquidation, merger, consolidation or
other change in the Company.


 


H.            The Company shall, at
its cost and expense, defend with counsel of the Company’s choice or approval,
any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding or investigation,
whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether external or internal to the
Company by reason of the fact that he, she or it or was acting in any capacity
described in Sections 6.3.A or 6.3.B hereof if he, she or it acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.


 


SECTION
6.4                                             Compliance
with Certain Requirements.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any other document governing the
management and operation of the Property, the Manager shall have the right to
cause the Company to take any reasonable action or to refrain from taking any
action (including but not limited to using a protective trust to own assets) to
(i) preserve the continued qualification of Inland Parent as a real estate
investment trust under Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”), (ii) preserve the continued qualification of any
Affiliates of Inland Parent as taxable REIT subsidiaries and (iii) avoid the
imposition of additional taxes on Inland Parent under Section 857 of the Code
or Section 4981 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder
(collectively the “REIT Rules”).  The Members agree that in the event that the
Manager proposes to take any action (or cause the Company to take any action)
to ensure the continued qualification of Inland Parent as a REIT or to avoid
the imposition of additional taxes under the REIT Rules on Inland Parent, the
Manager shall not have liability to any other Member for monetary damages or
otherwise for losses sustained or liabilities incurred in connection with such
actions.

as Members before taxing authorities or courts of competent jurisdiction in tax
matters affecting the Company or the Members in their capacities as Members,
and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, shall file any tax
returns and execute any agreements or other documents on behalf of the Company.


 


B.            Subject to the
limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Tax Matters Member is authorized

including, without limitation, any election, if permitted by applicable law:

law, in connection with Transfers of LLC Interests and Company distributions
and (ii) to treat the Company as a partnership for income tax purposes (or the

other Member shall confer about the intended action or election, as
applicable.  If agreement cannot be

proposed unless the other Member provides an opinion from the other Member’s

legal tax counsel, or, at the option of the
other Member, another nationally recognized law firm that is reasonably
acceptable to the Tax Matters Member, in either case at the other Member’s sole

and IV hereof.  Any dispute regarding any
action to be taken under this Section 7.4.D shall be submitted to arbitration

to the other Member of the receipt of any written notice relating to a
controversy or related proceeding which has a material adverse effect on the
other Member with the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing
authority, including, without limitation, (A) written notice that the Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority intends to examine the
Company’s income tax returns for any year; (B) written notice of commencement
of an administrative proceeding at the Company level related to the Company
under section 6223 of the Code; (C) written notice of any final Company
administrative adjustment relating to the Company pursuant to a proceeding
under section 6223 of the Code; (D) any request from the Internal Revenue
Service or any comparable state or local taxing agency for waiver of any
applicable statute of limitations with respect to the filing of any tax return
by the Company; (E) any information document requests from the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority, and (F) any Form 5701 or comparable
state or local audit adjustment notices. 
Within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice of a final Company
administrative adjustment, the Tax Matters Member shall notify each Member if
it does not intend to file for judicial review with respect to such adjustment.


 


F.             The Tax Matters
Member shall keep the other Member fully and promptly informed about the status
of any tax controversy or related proceeding involving the Company which could
have a material adverse effect on the other Member.  If, as a result of a notice provided by the
Tax Matters Member under Section 7.4.E or otherwise, the other Member believes,
based upon the nature of the government inquiry, that the government could be
considering an adjustment that would have an adverse effect upon the other
Member, then other Member shall have the right to hire and retain counsel of
its choice, reasonably acceptable to the Tax Matters Member, to represent the
Company in connection with such issue, shall have the right to control the
contest of such issue, and shall participate in such contest to the maximum
extent allowable by law, but shall keep the Tax Matters Member fully
informed.  If the Tax Matters Member does
not agree that the government could be considering an adjustment that would
have an adverse effect upon the other Member, then this dispute shall be
promptly submitted to a senior tax partner at a nationally recognized law firm
(other than the other Member’s regular outside tax counsel) selected by the
other Member and reasonably acceptable to the Tax Matters Member (the “Arbitrator”).  The Arbitrator so selected shall be
instructed to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement in determining
whether the adjustment could have an adverse effect on the other Member.  The Arbitrator’s determination shall be final
and binding on the parties and if the determination is that the adjustment
could have an adverse effect on the other Member, then the other Member shall
have the rights set forth in this Section 7.4.F.  All information provided to the Arbitrator by
the Company or either Member shall be kept strictly confidential by the
Arbitrator.


 


30

















 


G.            All expenses incurred
by the Tax Matters Member (including the expenses of counsel retained by the
other Member to represent the Company under section 7.4.F) in connection with
any tax controversy or related proceeding of the Company will be borne by the
Company.  Nothing herein shall be
construed to restrict the Tax Matters Member from engaging an accounting or law
firm to assist the Tax Matters Member in discharging its duties hereunder, so
long as the compensation paid by the Company for such services is customary.

and agrees to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement by executing and
delivering a counterpart signature page hereto;

materially and adversely affect the treatment of the Company for tax purposes
under the Code or the tax laws of any state in which the Company does business;

demonstrates and agrees, to the satisfaction of the Manager determined in its

Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the USA Patriot
Act), as amended from time to time.

purposes of this Agreement.

8.3.                                          Succession
by Operation of Law.


 


A.            In the event of an
Event of Bankruptcy with respect to a Member or the merger, consolidation,
dissolution or liquidation of a Member, all of such Member’s rights to
distributions and allocations by the Company, shall pass to such Member’s legal
successor, but such legal successor shall not become a Member of the Company
without the prior written consent of the Manager, which consent may be granted
or withheld in all of the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager, and the
compliance with the provisions of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section
8.2.C hereof.


 


B.            Upon occurrence of an
Event of Bankruptcy of a Member, or any other event that causes a Member to
cease to be a member of the Company, the business of the Company shall


 


32

















 


continue without dissolution.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, each Member waives any right that it might have under Section
18-801(b) of the Act to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the

SECTION
10.2.                                   Grant
of Right.


 


A.            Each Investor shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to either (i)
exchange all or a portion of such Investor’s Class B Units for shares of Common
Stock of Inland Parent (the “Exchange Option”)
or (ii) redeem all or a portion of such Investor’s Class B Units for the

expressed as a whole number, of (i) the Tendered Units, multiplied by (ii) the
Exchange Factor (the “Stock Purchase Price”).  At the election of the Manager, the Purchase

multiplied by (ii) the Current Per Share Market Price computed as of the
Computation Date.  The Cash Purchase
Price shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager, be paid in the

SECTION
10.4.                                   Covenants
of Inland.


 


A.            In the event that an
Investor delivers an Exercise Notice to the Manager in which such Investor elects
the Exchange Option, and Inland Parent is either unable or unwilling to deliver
Common Stock in the amount of the Stock Purchase Price to such Investor
(whether due to the fact that the issuance of such Common Stock would
disqualify Inland Parent from being characterized as a REIT, the issuance of
such Common Stock would cause Inland Parent to incur substantial registration
fees or otherwise), the Company shall be required to pay the Cash Purchase
Price to such Investor


 


B.            In the event that the
Common Stock of Inland Parent is listed or admitted for trading on a national
securities exchange, Inland shall use reasonable efforts to provide written
notice to each Investor of the fact that such Common Stock has become so listed
or admitted; provided, however, that (x) the obligation of Inland
to provide written notice under this Section 10.4.B shall only apply after such
Common Stock has become so listed or admitted and then only to the extent
permitted under any and all applicable state and federal securities laws and
(y) the provisions of this Section 10.4.B shall not be deemed in any manner to
constitute a representation as to whether or not the Common Stock of Inland
Parent will in fact be listed or admitted on a national securities exchange in
the future.


 


SECTION
10.5.                                   Antidilution
Provisions.


 


A.            The Exchange Factor
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time effective upon the occurrence
of the following events and shall be expressed as a percentage, calculated to
the nearest one-thousandth of one percent (.001%):


 


(i)            In case Inland Parent
shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution in shares of Common Stock to
all holders of the Common Stock, the Exchange Factor in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be
increased


 


36

















 


in proportion
to the increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from such
dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for
such dividend or other distribution.


 


(ii)           In case outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares, the
Exchange Factor in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased, and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exchange Factor in
effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase
or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.


 


B.            In case the shares of
Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of
any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization,
reclassification, or otherwise (other than subdivision or combination of shares
or a stock dividend described in subparagraph (ii) of Section 10.5.A) then and
in each such event the Investors, upon the delivery of an Exchange Notice,
shall have the right thereafter to convert the Tendered Units into the kind and
amount of shares and other securities and property which would have been
received upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders
of the number of shares into which the Tendered Units might have been converted
immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change.


 


SECTION
10.6.                                   Fractions
of Shares.


 


No fractional
shares shall be issued upon conversion of Class B Units.  Instead of any fractional share of Common
Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of the Class B Units of
an Investor, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the current market price
per share at the close of business on the day of the Closing (or, if such day
is not a Trading Day, on the Trading Day immediately preceding such day).


 


SECTION
10.7.                                   Provisions
in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.


 


In case of any
consolidation of Inland Parent with, or merger of Inland Parent into, any other
Person, any merger or consolidation of another Person into Inland Parent (other
than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of Inland
Parent), or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
Inland Parent, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such
merger or which acquires such assets of Inland Parent, as the case may be,
shall execute and deliver to the Investors an agreement providing that the
Investors shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Exchange
Rights shall be exercisable as specified herein, to require the conversion of
the Class B Units of the Investors for the kind and amount of securities, cash
and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer
by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Class B
Units of the


 


37

















 


Investors might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.  Such agreement shall provide for adjustments
which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such agreement, shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Article X.  The above provisions of
this Section 10.8 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
sales or transfers.


 


SECTION
10.8.                                   Redemption.


 


A.            Inland shall have the
continuing right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to purchase
and redeem all, but not less than all, and the applicable Investor shall be
required to assign all, of an Investor’s LLC Interests for the higher of (i)
the Investor Liquidation Amount (as defined below) of such Investor or (ii) the
Stock Purchase Price of such Investor (which, at the election of the Manager,
may be paid in the form of the Cash Purchase Price of such Investor determined
in the manner set forth in Section 10.3 hereof), if (except as provided in
Section 10.8.D hereof) an Exchange Notice is not delivered by such Investor
prior to the date that is seven (7) years after the date hereof.  Inland’s rights under this Section 10.8.A
shall be applied on an Investor-by-Investor basis (i.e., Inland may exercise
its rights under this Section 10.8.A with respect to one or more Investors
without exercising such rights with respect to each of the Investors).


 


B.            In order to exercise
the rights to require the Company to purchase and completely redeem an
Investor’s Investor LLC Interests under this Section 10.8, Inland shall deliver
to the applicable Investor, to the other Investors and to the Company written
notice (the “Redemption Notice”)
of the exercise of such right, which notice shall state Inland’s computation of
such Investor’s Investor Liquidation Amount, Stock Purchase Price or Cash
Purchase Price, as applicable.  The
delivery of the Redemption Notice by Inland shall constitute an irrevocable
commitment by the applicable Investor to transfer and deliver, and the Company
to purchase and redeem, all of such Investor’s Investor LLC Interests for the
higher of the Investor Liquidation Amount or Stock Purchase Price (or, at the
election of the Manager, the Cash Purchase Price) of such Investor.  Closing on the purchase and redemption of
such Investor’s Investor LLC Interests shall take place in accordance with
Section 10.9 hereof.


 


C.            Upon the delivery of
the Redemption Notice by Inland, the applicable Investor shall thereupon only
be entitled to receive its Investor Liquidation Amount, Stock Purchase Price or
Cash Purchase Price, as applicable, and Inland shall have sole authority to act
on behalf of the Company to obtain at Closing the funds required to completely
redeem such Investor’s Investor LLC Interests, including borrowing money from
third-party lenders, Members or Affiliates and seeking Capital Contributions
from additional Members to be admitted to the Company, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.1.D hereof.


 


D.            Notwithstanding any
provision of this Section 10.8 and this Article X to the contrary, and
specifically notwithstanding the time after which Inland is permitted to
deliver a Redemption Notice under Section 10.8.A hereof, Inland shall have the
right, but not the obligation, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deliver
a Redemption Notice to an Investor and to cause the purchase and redemption of
all of such Investor’s Investor LLC Interests pursuant to the terms of this
Article X, at any time if such Investor breaches any of the provisions of
Sections 2.7 or 2.8 hereof.


 


38

















 


SECTION
10.9.                                   Closing.


 


A.            The closing of the
exchange of an Investor’s Tendered Units by the Company pursuant to
Section 10.2.A (whether such Investor elected the Exchange Option or the
Redemption Option) and the closing of the redemption of an Investor’s Investor
LLC Interests by the Company pursuant to Section 10.8 (in either case, the
“Closing”) shall be held at the
principal offices of the Company and, subject to any other specific time
periods for the Closing stated in this Agreement, shall occur on the date
specified in the Exchange Notice or Redemption Notice, as applicable, which
date shall be no sooner than thirty (30) days and no later than one hundred
twenty (120) days following the delivery of the Exchange Notice or Redemption
Notice, as applicable, to the applicable Investor, Inland and/or the Company,
as applicable.


 


B.            At the Closing, the
applicable Investor shall transfer and assign its Tendered Units or Investor
LLC Interests, as applicable, to the Company free and clear of any liens,
encumbrances or any interests of any third party and shall execute or cause to
be executed any and all documents required to transfer fully good and clear
title to the LLC Interests being transferred, including, but not limited to,
any and all documents necessary to evidence such transfer.  In the event that the applicable Investor
does not timely execute any and all documents necessary to evidence and effect
such transfer of its Tendered Units or entire Investor LLC Interest, as
applicable, at the Closing, then the Manager is hereby appointed the
attorney-in-fact of, and is hereby authorized on behalf of, such Investor, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents and take all such other
actions as may be required to evidence and effect such transfer of such
Investor’s Tendered Units or entire Investor LLC Interest, as applicable.  Such appointment and authorization are
coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. 
The failure by an Investor to execute any document shall not delay the
Closing or cause the Closing to be ineffective.


 


C.            At the Closing, (i) in
the case that the Exchange Option was elected under Section 10.2.A hereof, or
in the case that Inland delivers a Redemption Notice in accordance with Section
10.8.A hereof and, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.8.A hereof, the
consideration for such redemption is the Stock Purchase Price or the Cash

deliver the Stock Purchase Price or the Cash Purchase Price to the applicable
Investor and (ii) in the case that the Redemption Option was elected under
Section 10.2.A hereof or in the case that Inland delivers a Redemption Notice
in accordance with Section 10.8.A hereof and, pursuant to the terms of Section
10.8.A hereof, the consideration for such redemption Inland is the Investor
Liquidation Amount, Inland shall cause the Company to distribute to the

required in order to carry out any provision of this Agreement, the parties
hereby agree to cooperate in good faith and will proceed promptly and
diligently to obtain all such consents; provided, however, that the failure to obtain any
such consent may be waived by Inland in its sole and absolute discretion.  Each party hereby covenants and agrees that
following the payment of the Investor Liquidation Amount, Stock Purchase Price
or Cash Purchase Price, as applicable, for either (i) all of the Class B Units
held by an Investor at such time or (ii) the applicable Investor’s entire
Investor LLC Interest, neither the applicable Investor nor any Affiliate of the

assets of the Company either as owner, lender or otherwise and neither such
Investor nor any Affiliate of such Investor shall have any right to receive any
further

payments or distributions from the Company
under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, specifically including, but not
limited to, such Investor’s Unpaid Investor Preferred Return, if any, such

SECTION
10.10.                            Investor
Liquidation Amount.


 


In the event
that an Investor elects the Redemption Option under Section 10.2.A hereof or in
the event that Inland delivers a Redemption Notice in accordance with Section
10.8.A hereof and, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.8.A hereof, the
consideration for such redemption is such Investor’s Investor Liquidation
Amount, the entire purchase price payable by the Company to an Investor (or its
Affiliates) for such Investor’s Investor LLC Interest (the “Investor Liquidation Amount”) shall be an
amount equal to the sum of the following:


 


(i)            the Unpaid Investor
Preferred Return of such Investor as of the date of the Closing as reasonably
determined by the Company’s accountant at such time, plus


 


(ii)           such Investor’s
Invested Capital as of the date of the Closing.


 


For all purposes of this Article X, in the
event that an Investor elects the Redemption Option under Section 10.2.A hereof
for less than all of its outstanding Class B Units at such time, then the
Investor Liquidation Amount applicable to the Tendered Units of such Investor
shall equal such Investor’s Investor Liquidation Amount as determined under
this Section 10.10 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
equal to the Tendered Units and the denominator of which shall be equal to all
of the outstanding Class B Units held by such Investor at such time.


 


SECTION
10.11.                            Deemed
Redemption.


 


Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that an Investor
receives a distribution with respect to its Invested Capital under Section
4.2(ii) hereof, such distribution shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement
(specifically including, but not limited to, the provisions of this Article X)
as a redemption by the Company of a portion of the Class B Units held by such
Investor at such time.  The number of
Class B Units that are deemed to be redeemed by the Company in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 10.11, shall be determined by multiplying an
amount equal to all of the Class B Units held by such Investor immediately
prior to such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be equal
to the applicable distribution made to such Investor at such time with respect
to its Invested Capital under Section 4.2(ii) hereof and the denominator of
which shall be equal to the Invested Capital of such Investor immediately prior
to such distribution.
