RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company
will issue in a public offering (the “Offering”) shares of its common
stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-153356)
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as
amended from time to time (the “Offering Document”);

 

WHEREAS, the Dealer
Manager has been engaged by the Company to offer and sell the Shares on a “best
efforts” basis through a network of participating broker-dealers (the “Dealers”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company
is entering into this Agreement to set forth the terms on which the Escrow
Agent will, except as otherwise provided herein, hold and disburse the proceeds
from subscriptions for the purchase of the Shares in the Offering until such
time as:  (1) in the case of
subscriptions received from residents of Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania
Subscribers”), the Company has received subscriptions for Shares from
persons who are not affiliated with the Company, the Dealer Manager, any Dealer
or Inland Diversified Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Affiliated
Persons”), resulting in gross offering proceeds of $250,000,000 (the “Pennsylvania
Minimum Offering Amount”); (2) in the case of subscriptions received
from residents of Tennessee (“Tennessee Subscribers”), the Company has
received subscriptions for Shares from persons who are not Affiliated Persons
resulting in gross offering proceeds of $10,000,000 (the “Tennessee Minimum
Offering Amount”); and (3) in all other cases of subscriptions received
from persons, specifically excluding the Pennsylvania Subscribers and the
Tennessee Subscribers (the “Primary Subscribers” and, together with the
Pennsylvania Subscribers and the Tennessee Subscribers, the “Subscribers”),
who are not Affiliated Persons, the Company has received subscriptions for
Shares resulting in gross offering proceeds of $2,000,000 (the “Minimum
Offering Amount” and, together with the Pennsylvania Minimum Offering
Amount and the Tennessee Minimum Offering, “All Minimum Offering Amounts”);

 

WHEREAS, the Dealer
Manager and the Company desire to establish an escrow account, as further
described herein, in which funds received from Subscribers will be deposited,
and the Company desires that UMB Bank, N.A. act as escrow agent to the escrow
account and Escrow Agent is willing to act in such capacity; and

 

WHEREAS, the Escrow
Agent has engaged DST Systems, Inc. (the “Processing Agent”) to
receive, examine for “good order” and facilitate subscriptions into the escrow
account as further described herein and to act as record keeper, maintaining on
behalf of the Escrow

 

 

Agent the ownership records for the escrow account.  In so acting, the Processing Agent will be
acting solely in the capacity of agent for the Escrow Agent and not in any capacity
on behalf of the Company or the Dealer Manager, nor shall they have any
interest other than that provided in this Agreement in assets in Processing
Agent’s possession as the agent of the Escrow Agent.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Dealer
Manager and the Escrow Agent agree to the terms of this Agreement as follows:

 

1.             Appointment and Commencement of Duties.  The Company hereby appoints the Escrow Agent
for purposes of holding the proceeds from the subscriptions for Shares on the
terms and conditions set forth herein. 
On or prior to the commencement of the Offering of Shares, the Company
shall establish the Escrow Account (as hereinafter defined).  This Agreement shall be effective on the date
on which the Offering Document is declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

2.             Operation of the Escrow Account.

 

(a)           Deposits
in the Escrow Account.

 

(1)           Until
such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Shares resulting in
gross offering proceeds equal to the Minimum Offering Amount and funds are
distributed from the Escrow Account (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with
Section 2(b)(1), the Primary Subscribers will be instructed by the
Company, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers to make checks for subscriptions
payable to the order of “Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc.”
Checks or money orders in payment for the purchase price of Shares shall be
remitted to the P.O. Box designated for the receipt of such funds, and
drafts, wires, or Automated ClearingHouse (ACH) payments shall be transmitted
directly to the Escrow Account.  The
Processing Agent will, except as otherwise specified herein, promptly deliver
all monies received in good order from Primary Subscribers (or from the Dealer
Manager or Dealers transmitting monies from Primary Subscribers) for the
payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit into a single
interest-bearing account entitled “ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF
SUBSCRIBERS FOR COMMON STOCK OF INLAND DIVERSIFIED REAL ESTATE TRUST, INC.” or
such similar designation as the parties may agree (the “Escrow Account”).  Further, to the extent that payments are
remitted by the Processing Agent, the Processing Agent will furnish to the
Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding those subscriptions as set
forth in Exhibit B.

 

(2)           Until
such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Shares resulting in
gross offering proceeds equal to the Tennessee Minimum Offering Amount and
funds are distributed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(b)(2),
the Tennessee Subscribers will be instructed by the Company, the Dealer Manager
and the Dealers to make checks for

payable to the order of “Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc.”
Checks or money orders in payment for the purchase price of Shares shall be
remitted to the P.O. Box designated for the receipt of such funds, and
drafts, wires, or Automated ClearingHouse (ACH) payments shall be transmitted
directly to the Escrow Account.  The
Processing Agent will, except as otherwise specified herein, promptly deliver
all monies received in good order from Tennessee Subscribers (or from the
Dealer Manager or Dealers transmitting monies from Tennessee Subscribers) for
the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Escrow
Account.  Further, to the extent that
payments are remitted by the Processing Agent, the Processing Agent will
furnish to the Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding those
subscriptions as set forth in Exhibit B.

 

(3)           Until
such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Shares resulting in
gross offering proceeds equal to the Pennsylvania Minimum Offering Amount and
funds are distributed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(b)(3) and
2(b)(4), Pennsylvania Subscribers will be instructed by the Company, the
Dealer Manager and the Dealers to make checks for subscriptions payable to the
order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Inland Diversified Real Estate
Trust, Inc.”  Checks
or money orders in payment for the purchase price of Shares shall be remitted
to the P.O. Box designated for the receipt of such funds, and drafts,
wires, or Automated ClearingHouse (ACH) payments shall be transmitted directly
to the Escrow Account.  The Processing
Agent will, except as otherwise specified herein, promptly deliver all monies
received in good order from Pennsylvania Subscribers (or from the Dealer
Manager or Dealers transmitting monies from Pennsylvania Subscribers) for the
payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit into the Escrow Account.  Further, to the extent that payments are
remitted by the Processing Agent, the Processing Agent will furnish to the
Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding those subscriptions as set
forth in Exhibit B.

 

(4)           Deposits
shall be held in the Escrow Account until the funds are disbursed in accordance
with Section 2(b).  Prior to
disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, the funds shall not
be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If
any of the instruments of payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for
nonpayment prior to the funds being disbursed in accordance with Section 2(b),
the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Processing Agent and the Company in
writing via mail, electronic mail or facsimile of such nonpayment, and the
Escrow Agent shall be authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable, in
the amount of the returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount
of such payment and the Processing Agent will delete the appropriate account
from the records maintained by the Processing Agent. The Processing Agent will
maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among
other things, the following information: (i) the Subscriber’s name and
address, (ii) the number of Shares purchased by such Subscriber, and (iii) the
amount paid by such Subscriber for the Shares. Until the funds are distributed
in accordance with Section 2(b), neither the Company

 

3

 

nor the Dealer
Manager will be entitled to any principal funds received into the Escrow
Account.

 

(b)           Distribution of the
Escrowed Funds.

 

(1)           In
that event that, at any time on or prior to the close of business on the date
that is one year following the commencement of the Offering (the “Closing
Date”), the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these purposes any
funds received from Affiliated Persons, Tennessee Subscribers and Pennsylvania
Subscribers, equal or exceed the Minimum Offering Amount, the Escrow Agent
shall promptly notify the Company.  Upon
receiving written confirmation from the Processing Agent that the total
subscription proceeds, excluding for these purposes any funds received from
Affiliated Persons, Tennessee Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers, equal
or exceed the Minimum Offering Amount, the Escrow Agent shall (1) disburse
to the Company, by check, ACH or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account
representing the gross purchase price for the Shares received from the Primary
Subscribers (the “Primary Funds”) and (2) disburse to the Primary
Subscribers any interest earned on the Primary Funds and IRS Forms 1099.

 

If the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these purposes any
funds received from Affiliated Persons, Tennessee Subscribers and Pennsylvania
Subscribers, do not equal or exceed the Minimum Offering Amount on or prior to
the Closing Date, the Processing Agent shall provide the Escrow Agent the
information needed to return to the Primary Subscribers the Primary Funds,
together with any interest earned thereon, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly
create and dispatch checks and wires drawn on the Escrow Account to return the
Primary Funds, together with any interest thereon and IRS Forms 1099, without
deduction, penalty or expense, to the respective Primary Subscribers, and the
Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Dealer Manager of its
distribution of the Primary Funds.

 

(2)           Notwithstanding
any disbursements in accordance with Section 2(b)(1), in that event
that, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, the total subscription
proceeds excluding for these purposes any funds received from Affiliated
Persons and Pennsylvania Subscribers, equal or exceed the Tennessee Minimum
Offering Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company.  Upon receiving written confirmation from the
Processing Agent that the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these purposes
any funds received from Affiliated Persons and Pennsylvania Subscribers, equal
or exceed the Tennessee Minimum Offering Amount, the Escrow Agent shall (1) disburse
to the Company, by check, ACH or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account
representing the gross purchase price for the Shares received from the
Tennessee Subscribers (the “Tennessee Funds”) and (2) disburse to
the Tennessee Subscribers any interest earned on the Tennessee Funds and IRS
Forms 1099.

 

4

 

If the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these purposes any
funds received from Affiliated Persons and Pennsylvania Subscribers, do not
equal or exceed the Tennessee Minimum Offering Amount on or prior to the
Closing Date, the Processing Agent shall provide the Escrow Agent the
information needed to return to the Tennessee Subscribers the Tennessee Funds,
together with any interest thereon, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly create
and dispatch checks and wires drawn on the Escrow Account to return the
Tennessee Funds, together with any interest earned thereon and IRS Forms 1099,
without deduction, penalty or expense, to the respective Tennessee Subscribers,
and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Dealer Manager of its
distribution of the Tennessee Funds.

 

(3)           Notwithstanding
any disbursements in accordance with Sections 2(b)(1) and 2(b)(2),
in that event that, at any time on or prior to the termination of the Offering,
the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these purposes any funds
received from Affiliated Persons, equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Minimum
Offering Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company.  Upon receiving written confirmation from the
Processing Agent that the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these
purposes any funds received from Affiliated Persons, equal or exceed the
Pennsylvania Minimum Offering Amount, the Escrow Agent shall (1) disburse
to the Company, by check, ACH or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account
representing the gross purchase price for the Shares received from the
Pennsylvania Subscribers (the “Pennsylvania Funds”) and (2) disburse
to the Pennsylvania Subscribers any interest earned on the Pennsylvania Funds
and IRS Forms 1099.

 

(4)           Notwithstanding
the above, in that event that, on or prior to the close of business on the date
that is 120 days after the commencement of the Offering (the “Initial
Pennsylvania Period”), the total subscription proceeds, excluding for these
purposes any funds received from Affiliated Persons, do not equal or exceed the
Pennsylvania Minimum Offering Amount, the Company shall send to each
Pennsylvania Subscriber by certified mail within ten calendar days after the
end of the Initial Pennsylvania Period a notification of this fact.  If, pursuant to the notification, a
Pennsylvania Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds
within ten calendar days after receipt of the notification (the “Pennsylvania
Request”), the Company or its agent shall immediately provide to the Escrow
Agent written direction to disburse to each Pennsylvania Subscriber the
collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of that Pennsylvania
Subscriber.  The Escrow Agent shall thereafter
refund directly to each Pennsylvania Subscriber the funds deposited in the
Escrow Account on behalf of such Pennsylvania Subscriber, or shall return the
instruments of payment delivered, but not yet processed for collection,
together with any interest earned thereon and IRS Forms 1099, without
deduction, penalty or expense, to each Pennsylvania Subscriber, no later than
fifteen calendar days after the date of the Pennsylvania Request.  However, the Escrow Agent shall not be
required to remit any payments until funds represented by the payments have
been collected by the Escrow Agent.

 

5

 

The subscription funds of Pennsylvania Subscribers who do not request
the return of their subscription funds within the Request Period shall remain
in the Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (each, a “Successive
Pennsylvania Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination
of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and Escrow Agent shall
follow the notification and payment procedure set forth above with respect to
the Initial Pennsylvania Period for each Successive Pennsylvania Period until
the occurrence of the earliest of the date that: (A) the Offering has
terminated; (B) the Company has received subscriptions for Shares
resulting in gross offering proceeds, excluding for these purposes any funds
received from Affiliated Persons, equal to the Pennsylvania Minimum Offering
Amount; or (C) all funds held in the Escrow Account have been returned to
the Pennsylvania Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(5)           After
the satisfaction of the provisions of Sections 2(b)(3), 2(b)(2) and
2(b)(3), or any of them, in the event the Company receives subscriptions
made payable to the Escrow Agent, subscription proceeds may continue to be
received in this account generally, but to the extent that the proceeds shall
not be subject to escrow due to the satisfaction of the aforementioned
provisions of this Section 2(b), the proceeds are not subject to
this Agreement and at the instruction of the Company to the Escrow Agent, shall
be transferred from the Escrow Account or deposited directly into, as the case
may be, a commercial deposit account in the name of the Company with the
Processing Agent (the “Deposit Account”) that has been previously
established by the Company, unless otherwise directed by the Company.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that
it shall do all things necessary in order to establish the Deposit Account
prior to its use.  No provisions of this
Agreement shall apply to the Deposit Account.

 

(6)           If the Company rejects any subscription for which
the Escrow Agent has collected funds, the Escrow Agent shall, upon the written
request of the Company, promptly issue a refund to the rejected
Subscriber.  If the Company rejects any
subscription for which the Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds but has
submitted the Subscriber’s check for collection, the Escrow Agent shall
promptly return the funds in the amount of the Subscriber’s check to the
rejected Subscriber after such funds have been collected.  If the Escrow Agent has not yet submitted a
rejected Subscriber’s check for collection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly
remit the Subscriber’s check directly to the Subscriber.

 

3.             Escrowed Funds. Upon receipt of the
proceeds from the subscriptions for Shares (the “Escrowed Funds”), the
Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Funds in escrow pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement. Until such time as the Escrowed Funds shall be distributed by
the Escrow Agent as provided herein, the Escrowed Funds shall be invested and
reinvested by the Escrow Agent in an account at UMB Bank, N.A.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to sell or
redeem any such investment as necessary to make any distributions required
under this Agreement and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
resulting from any such sale or redemption. 
Income resulting from the investment of the Escrowed Funds shall be
retained by the Escrow Agent, and shall be distributed according to this
Agreement.

 

6

 

The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Company
monthly statements (or more frequently as reasonably requested by the Company)
on the account balances in the Escrow Account and the activity in the account
since the last report.

 

4.             Duties of the Escrow Agent. The
Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those
expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is
not a party to, or bound by, the any other agreement among the other parties
hereto, and the Escrow Agent’s duties shall be determined solely by reference
to this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation
of any person, other than as provided herein. The Escrow Agent shall be under
no liability to anyone by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto
or any maker, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person
to perform such person’s obligations under any such document.

 

5.             Liability of the Escrow Agent;
Indemnification. The Escrow Agent acts hereunder as a depository only. The
Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it, or any
action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith, and in the
exercise of its own reasonable judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be
protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or
advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement,
instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution
and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth
and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by
the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper
person(s). The Escrow Agent shall not be held liable for any error in judgment
made in good faith by an officer or employee of the Escrow Agent unless it
shall be proved that the Escrow Agent was negligent or reckless in ascertaining
the pertinent facts or acted intentionally in bad faith. The Escrow Agent shall
not be bound by any notice of demand, or any waiver, modification, termination
or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by
a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties
and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall
give its prior written consent thereto.

 

The Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel
and shall exercise reasonable care in the selection of such counsel, in the
event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any provisions
hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be
fully protected in acting in accordance with the reasonable opinion or
instructions of such counsel.

 

The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible,
may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected, indemnified and held
harmless by the Company, for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the
execution, validity, value or genuineness of any document or property received,
held or delivered by it hereunder, or of the signature or endorsement thereon,
or for any description therein; nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or
liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the
persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any
document, property or this Agreement.

 

The Company, hereby agrees to indemnify the Escrow
Agent for, and to hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection herewith without negligence, recklessness or misconduct
on the part of the Escrow Agent, including without limitation legal or

 

7

 

other fees arising out of or in connection with its entering into this
Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder, including without limitation
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in
the premises or any action for interpleader. 
The Escrow Agent shall not be under any obligation to institute or
defend any action, suit, or legal proceeding in connection herewith, unless
first indemnified and held harmless to its satisfaction in accordance with the
foregoing, except that it shall not be indemnified against any loss resulting
from its own negligence, recklessness or misconduct.  Subject to the applicable statute of
limitations such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement
or resignation of the Escrow Agent.

 

6.             The Escrow Agent’s Fee. Escrow
Agent shall be entitled to fees and expenses for its regular services as Escrow
Agent as set forth in Exhibit A.

 

7.             Security Interests. No party to
this Agreement shall grant a security interest in any monies or other property
deposited with the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or otherwise create a
lien, encumbrance or other claim against such monies or borrow against the
same.

 

8.             Dispute. In the event of any
disagreement between the undersigned or the person or persons named in the
instructions contained in this Agreement, or any other person, resulting in
adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or for any papers,
money or property involved herein, or affected hereby, the Escrow Agent shall
be entitled to refuse to comply with any demand or claim, as long as such
disagreement shall continue, and in so refusing to make any delivery or other
disposition of any money, papers or property involved or affected hereby, the
Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to the undersigned or to any person
named in such instructions for its refusal to comply with such conflicting or
adverse demands, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse and refrain
to act until: (a) The rights of the adverse claimants shall have been
fully and finally adjudicated in a Court assuming and having jurisdiction of
the parties and money, papers and property involved herein or affected hereby,
or (b) All differences shall have been adjusted by agreement and the
Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing, signed by all the
interested parties.

 

9.             Resignation of Escrow Agent. Escrow
Agent may resign or be removed, at any time, for any reason, by written notice
of its resignation or removal to the proper parties at their respective
addresses as set forth herein, at least sixty days before the date specified
for such resignation or removal to take effect; upon the effective date of such
resignation or removal:

 

(a)           All
cash and other payments and all other property then held by the Escrow Agent
hereunder shall be delivered by it to such successor escrow agent as may be
designated in writing by the Company, whereupon the Escrow Agent’s obligations
hereunder shall cease and terminate;

 

(b)           If
no such successor escrow agent has been designated by such date, all
obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall, nevertheless, cease and
terminate, and the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to
keep all property then held by it and to deliver the same to a person
designated in writing by the Company or in accordance with the directions of a
final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

8

 

(c)                                Further, if no
such successor escrow agent has been designated by such date, the Escrow Agent
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor agent; further the Escrow Agent may pay into court all monies and
property deposited with Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

 

10.                                 Notices. All notices,
demands and requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions
hereof must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given,

Maryland corporation (the “Company”).

individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

WHEREAS, the Company is in
the business of, among other things, to acquiring and developing commercial
real estate located in the United States and Canada including retail
properties, office buildings, multi-family properties, student housing
properties, industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities and lodging properties;

assets, such as the Real Estate Assets (as defined below);

 

WHEREAS, Acquisitions is an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc., an Illinois
corporation (“The Inland Group”);

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereby
acknowledge that Robert D. Parks is an officer and director of the Company and
a stockholder and director of The Inland Group, Inc., the parent entity of
Acquisitions;

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with
entering into this Agreement, the Company entered into the Business Management
Agreement with the Business Manager;

 

WHEREAS, Acquisitions is
willing to grant the Company certain rights to acquire Real Estate Assets
identified by Acquisitions.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and in
consideration of the amounts payable to affiliates of Acquisition under the
Business Management Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.             Incorporation
of Recitals.  By this reference, the recitals
set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set
forth herein.

 

2.             Definitions.  The following capitalized terms used in this
Agreement shall have the following meanings:

 

(a)           “Business Manager” means Inland
Diversified Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., an Illinois
corporation and an affiliate of Acquisitions.

 

(b)           “Business Management
Agreement” means that certain Business Management Agreement, dated May     ,
2009, between the Company and the Business Manager.

 

 

(c)           “Exchange Act” means the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

(d)           “Real Estate Asset” shall
have the meaning ascribed to that term in the Business Management Agreement.

 

3.             Right of
Refusal.  For and
during the term of this Agreement, and until the occurrence of a Right of First
Refusal Termination Event (as defined below) with respect to the subject Real
Estate Asset, Acquisitions hereby grants to the Company: (i) subject to
the exercise of any prior rights vested in third parties and previously granted
by Acquisitions, a right of first refusal to acquire each and every Real Estate
Asset identified by Acquisitions.

 

4.             During the pendency of a
right of first refusal granted under Section 3 above, Acquisitions covenants
and agrees that it shall not (a) present or offer for sale the subject
Real Estate Asset to, (b) forward any information regarding the subject
Real Estate Asset to, or (c) pursue the acquisition of the subject Real
Estate Asset on behalf or for the benefit of any other person, entity or client
except the Company.

 

5.             Upon identifying a Real
Estate Asset subject to the provisions of Section 3 above,
Acquisitions shall deliver written notice to the Company (in form and substance
attached hereto as Exhibit A, each an “Acquisition Notice”) that
Acquisitions has identified, or entered into a letter of intent or acquisition
agreement with respect to, the applicable Real Estate Asset.  The Company shall have ten (10) business
days after the date of its receipt of an Acquisition Notice (the “Notice Period”)
to inform Acquisitions in writing (a “Company Notice”) whether the Company desires
to acquire the subject Real Estate Asset. 
Upon the occurrence of a Right of First Refusal Termination Event with
respect to the subject Real Estate Asset, the Company shall be deemed to have
waived any and all rights to acquire the subject Real Estate Asset, including

whether in response to, or at any time after, its receipt of an Acquisition
Notice, not to pursue the acquisition of a particular Real Estate Asset shall
not affect or impair any of the Company’s rights set forth in this Agreement
with respect to any other Real Estate Asset.

 

For the purposes hereof, the
term “Right of First Refusal Termination Event” means the first to occur of: (i) the
Company’s failure to deliver to Acquisitions a Company Notice with respect to
the subject Real Estate Asset prior to the expiration of the Notice Period; (ii) delivery
by the Company of a Company Notice with respect to the subject Real Estate
Asset; and (iii) failure of the Company to diligently pursue acquisition
of the subject Real Estate Asset or delivery by the Company of a Property

2

 

the subject Real Estate
Asset.  In any such case, if the Company
exercises its right of first refusal with respect to, and elects to pursue the
acquisition of, the subject Real Estate Asset, and the Company is willing to
enter into an agreement to acquire the subject Real Estate Asset, then upon the
Company’s request Acquisitions shall assign the letter of intent or other
acquisition agreement to the Company or its designee.

 

7.             Reimbursements.  Section 9(b)(ii) of the Business
Management Agreement shall be, and hereby is, incorporated into this Agreement
by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth herein.  Notwithstanding the earlier termination, if
any, of the Business Management Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to
reimburse Acquisitions in accordance with Section 9 of the Business
Management Agreement in the manner specified thereunder.  The Parties agree that there shall be no
duplication of payment for any services rendered with respect to any subject Real
Estate Asset under this Agreement and the Business Management Agreement.
