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
or interest owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company except as a Member of
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 Member for
the purpose of severing its relationship with the Company or such Member’s
interest in the assets held by the Company from the interest of the other Members;
and (ii) any right to valuation and payment with respect to such Member’s
LLC Interests or any portion thereof, except to the extent specifically set

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 Redemption Notice (as defined below) to such Investor
and to thereupon immediately cause the Company to purchase the Investor LLC
Interest of such Investor pursuant to the terms of Article X hereof.


 


SECTION 2.8.                                          Waiver of Right to Judicial

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 Redemption Notice (as
defined below) to such Investor and to thereupon immediately cause the Company

Member who makes or proposes to make a Cash Shortfall Loan shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to cause the Company to replace the Cash
Shortfall Loan with a loan from a third party on terms and conditions that are

promulgated thereunder.


 


E.             If
any Member shall lend any money to the Company, the amount of any such loan
shall not be considered a Capital Contribution to the Company, increase its
Capital Account or affect in any way its share of the Profits, Losses, other
items of income, gain, loss or deduction or distributions of the Company.

in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5.  To each Member’s Capital Account there shall
be credited such Member’s Capital Contributions, such Member’s allocable share
of Profits, and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially
allocated to such Member under this Agreement.


 


B.            To
each Member’s Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the

succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to
the transferred interest.  In the case of
a sale or exchange of an interest in the Company at a time when an election
under Code Section 754 is in effect, the Capital Account of the transferee
Member shall not be adjusted to reflect the adjustments to the adjusted tax
bases of Company property required under Code Sections 754 and 743, except as

Members pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld
or paid by the Company pursuant to Section 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the
Code.  The Manager shall give prompt
notice to the Members with respect to which withholding is effected in accordance
with this Section 4.5 and shall provide such Member with a written
explanation of the basis for its determination so to withhold or pay (a “Withholding Notice”).

Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to
such Member and shall be promptly paid, solely out of funds from the Company,
by the Manager to the appropriate taxing authority.  In the event that a Member fails to pay any
amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.5 when due, the

deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Member.  For the avoidance of doubt, any distributions
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.

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.

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

purposes, including, without limitation, any election, if permitted by

Member, the Tax Matters Member shall provide prompt written notice of such
intended action and/or election to the other Member.  If the other Member sends the Tax Matters

such election), the Tax Matters Member and the other Member shall confer about
the intended action or election, as applicable.

election), the Tax Matters Member shall take the action or make the election,
as applicable as originally proposed unless the other Member provides an
opinion from the other Member’s regular outside

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 expense, that the action or election, as applicable as proposed
would more likely than not have an adverse tax consequence to the other

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.

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.

as provided in this Article VIII, no Member may Transfer any LLC Interest,
except as hereinafter set forth in this Article VIII or upon prior written
consent of all of the other Members, which consent may be granted or withheld
in the sole and absolute discretion of the other Members.  Any Transfer of an LLC Interest in

Interest, except upon compliance with the terms of Section 8.2.C.  A Member who assigns all of its LLC Interest
to a permitted transferee (other than one of the other Members) in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain a Member of the
Company subject to all the duties and obligations imposed on it under this
Agreement until such time as the transferee of such LLC Interest is admitted to
the Company as a substitute Member in accordance with Section 8.2.C.  Upon any permitted assignment of an LLC Interest
pursuant to Section 8.2, the transferor and transferee shall file with the
Company an executed or authenticated copy of the written instrument of
assignment or transfer.

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


 


(iv)          the
transfer would not 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; and


 


(v)           the
transferee demonstrates and agrees, to the satisfaction of the Manager
determined in its sole and absolute discretion, that it has complied and shall
comply with the provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by
Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of
2001 (the USA Patriot Act), as amended from time to time.


 


D.            Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof to the contrary, the Initial Investor
shall be permitted, without the consent of the Manager or the other Member, to
make a one-time Transfer of its Investor LLC Interest to the members of the
Initial Investor identified on Schedule B-1.  Immediately following the Transfer permitted
under the preceding sentence, the Initial Capital Contribution, Invested
Capital, Unpaid Investor Preferred Return and Capital Account of the Initial
Investor shall be divided among each of such members, as applicable in
accordance with the manner provided to the Manager by the Initial Investor
prior to such Transfer, the Initial Investor shall resign and withdraw as a

as an “Investor” for all purposes of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 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 occurrence an Event of Bankruptcy or any other such event.

Transfers.


 


The
LLC Interests described in this Agreement have not been registered under the

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

to such Investor for the Tendered Units shall be payable by the issuance by
Inland Parent of the number of shares of its Common Stock equal to the product,
expressed as a whole number, of (i) the Tendered Units, multiplied by (ii) the

Price shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager, be paid in the
form of cash, or cashier’s or certified check, or by wire transfer of

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

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

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.
