                          POST-CLOSING ESCROW AGREEMENT

     THIS POST-CLOSING ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of
April 14, 2004, by and between CH REALTY II/BEST, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("SELLER"). INLAND WESTERN LAS VEGAS, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company ("PURCHASER"), and CHICAGO TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY ("ESCROW
AGENT").

                                    RECITALS:

     Seller and Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. have entered into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended and assigned to Purchaser, the
"CONTRACT") pursuant to which Seller sold and Purchaser has purchased, upon and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the real property and
improvements situated in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, known generally as
Best on the Boulevard (the "PROPERTY").

     Pursuant to the Contract, Seller has agreed to deposit the sum of
$244,368.54 (the "POST-CLOSING DEPOSIT") with Escrow Agent to secure any
liability of Seller to Purchaser as a result of the fact that Hollywood Video
has not as yet executed its lease, taken occupancy and commenced paying rent as
of the Date of Closing as is further described in SECTION 8.7 of the Contract.
The components of the Post-Closing Deposit are described in EXHIBIT "A" attached
hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes.

     Pursuant to additional agreements between Purchaser and Seller, Seller has
agreed to further deposit the sum of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($10,000.00) with the Escrow Agent to satisfy any repair obligations on the
portion of the Property leased to Barnes & Noble relating to cracks in the rear
wall of the receiving area (the "BARNES & NOBLE DEPOSIT")

     Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent have agreed to enter into this Agreement
to set forth the terms and conditions on which the Post-Closing Deposit and the
Barnes & Noble Deposit will be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent.

                                   AGREEMENTS:

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of these premises and the mutual
covenants and undertakings of the parties herein contained, the receipt and
sufficiency of which consideration is hereby acknowledged and confessed, the
parties agree as follows:

                                       I.
                             ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW

     1.01.   DESIGNATION OF ESCROW AGENT. Seller and Purchaser hereby designate
Escrow Agent to serve as the escrow agent for the Post-Closing Deposit and the
Barnes & Noble Deposit in accordance with this Agreement.

     1.02.   DEPOSIT AND INVESTMENT. Contemporaneous with the execution hereof,
Seller has deposited the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit
with Escrow Agent to be

<Page>

held and disbursed by Escrow Agent as provided herein. Escrow Agent shall
deposit the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit in an interest
bearing account at a financial institution the accounts of which are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All interest earned on the
Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit shall be added to and become
a part of the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit and shall be
held and disbursed as part of the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble
Deposit hereunder.

     1.03.   ESCROW AGENT FEES: WAIVER OF OFFSET. All fees and expenses of the
Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement and the Post-Closing Deposit and
the Barnes & Noble Deposit, including any fees charged by the financial
institution in which the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit is
deposited, shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Purchaser. Escrow
Agent shall bill Seller and Purchaser from time to time for such fees and
expenses. Escrow Agent shall have no right to offset its fees and expenses
against the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit and Escrow Agent
hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights Escrow Agent now has or may in the
future have to offset any amounts due to Escrow Agent against the Post-Closing
Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit. Escrow Agent further agrees that it will
not pay or attempt to pay or otherwise satisfy any claims it may have, whether
arising under this Agreement or otherwise, from the Post-Closing Deposit or the
Barnes & Noble Deposit.

                                       II.
                    DISTRIBUTION OF THE POST-CLOSING DEPOSIT

     2.01.   WITHDRAWALS FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCES AND LEASING
COMMISSION DEPOSITS. That portion of the Escrow Deposit identified as the sum of
$117,639.30 is hereby referred to as the "TI/LC DEPOSIT". The TI/LC Deposit
consists of a $10.00 per square foot tenant allowance component, a component for
negotiated landlord work contribution, and a leasing commission of $10,109.30
payable to ROI Commercial upon execution of the Hollywood Video lease. In no
event may the TI/LC Deposit be applied to rent concessions or free rent. The
TI/LC Deposit is to be disbursed as follows:

             (a)  That portion of the TI/LC Deposit attributable to leasing
     commissions shall be released from the Post-Closing Deposit by Escrow Agent
     as provided below upon the joint direction of Seller and Purchaser
     accompanied by signed lien waivers and invoices from the applicable real
     estate brokers. The commission monies shall be disbursed 50% upon execution
     of the Hollywood Video lease and 50% upon the securing of the certificate
     of occupancy by Hollywood Video. By its execution hereof, and in
     consideration of Seller depositing the sums referenced herein, Purchaser
     assumes all liability for commissions payable to ROI Commercial on the
     Hollywood Video lease for the amount escrowed for commissions. That portion
     of the TI/LC Deposit attributable to tenant improvements or negotiated
     landlord work contribution shall be released by the Escrow Agent in a
     single draw upon completion of the required work by the tenant and upon the
     joint direction of Seller and Purchaser accompanied by the documentation
     required by the Hollywood Video lease, and in any event no less
     documentation than copies of invoices and mechanic's lien waivers in the
     amount of each request shall accompany the draw request. Assuming Hollywood
     Video executes its lease, upon the completion of the tenant improvement
     work in the Hollywood Video space, any portion

<Page>

     of the TI/LC Deposit not then disbursed shall, upon satisfaction of the
     invoices and releases required to be submitted, be released to Seller. In
     the event that Hollywood Video does not execute a lease, Purchaser shall be
     entitled to use the monies which would otherwise have been disbursed in
     this SECTION 2.01(a) for leasing commissions and tenant improvements, but
     not otherwise, for a substitute tenant. However, it is the further
     agreement of the parties hereto that in no event will either party have any
     obligations for sums payable for any tenant improvement allowances,
     landlord work contribution or leasing commissions in excess of the monies
     referenced in this SECTION 2.01 (a) unless the party in question has
     consented in writing. In the event that the space is leased to a party
     other than Hollywood Video or is not leased by Purchaser within two (2)
     years from the date hereof, any monies deposited into escrow which are not
     expended for tenant improvements or leasing commissions shall be refunded
     by Escrow Agent to Seller after the securing of the requisite invoices and
     releases or the failure by Purchaser to lease the space during the
     aforesaid two (2) year period.

             (b)  That portion of the Post-Closing Deposit identified on
     EXHIBIT "A" as $126,729.24 is hereinafter referred to as the "LEASE
     DEPOSIT". The Lease Deposit has been calculated based upon the sums which
     would be owing for Rent (the term "RENT" shall include monthly rental
     payments, CAM and related charges) under the Hollywood Video lease pro
     forma. The sums for the month of April, 2004, as otherwise reflected on
     EXHIBIT "A" have been pro rated by the parties, and Escrow Agent has
     released to Purchaser its pro rata portion of the Rent for the month of
     April, 2004. Commencing on May 1, 2004, and continuing thereafter until the
     earlier to occur of the passage of 365 days or the commencement of payment
     of Rent by Hollywood Video or a substitute tenant, Escrow Agent is hereby
     authorized to pay to Purchaser without further direction from Seller
     monthly payments in advance for Rent equal to the sum of $10,560.77 per
     month. At such time as Purchaser or the applicable tenant notifies Seller
     and Escrow Agent that Hollywood Video or a substitute tenant has commenced
     paying Rent, any and all Lease Deposit monies remaining in the Post-Closing
     Deposit shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent to Seller without the
     requirement of further consent from Purchaser.

     2.02.   BARNES & NOBLE DEPOSIT. By agreement of the parties, the monies
constituting the Barnes & Noble Deposit shall be used only for the repair of the
cracks in the rear wall of the receiving area of the Property, and monies for
such repairs shall be released by Escrow Agent in a single draw upon completion
of the work and upon joint direction of Seller and Purchaser, which draw request
must be accompanied by invoices and mechanic's lien waivers in the amount of the
request. In the event that the draw request, as supported by the required
documentation, is for less than $10,000.00, then any and all portions of the
Barnes & Noble Deposit including interest earned thereon shall be upon
satisfaction of the draw request remitted by Escrow Agent to Seller without the
requirement of further consent from Purchaser.

     2.03.   COOPERATION. Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate with each
other and with Escrow Agent to facilitate the disbursements and withdrawals
contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, upon request of Escrow Agent,
Seller and Purchaser shall each execute such additional instructions and
directions as may reasonably be requested by Escrow Agent consistent with the
terms of this Agreement; PROVIDED THAT such additional instructions shall not

<Page>

be a condition to any withdrawal of the Post-Closing Deposit or the Barnes &
Noble Deposit unless otherwise provided herein.

     2.04.   TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate, without
any further action on the part of Seller, Purchaser or Escrow Agent, upon
disbursement in full of the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit
in accordance with this Agreement.

                                      III.
                                  ESCROW AGENT

     3.01.   ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT. Escrow Agent, by reason of its consent to
and execution of this Agreement, for the fees to be paid hereunder, hereby
agrees to act as escrow agent for the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes &
Noble Deposit in accordance with this Agreement and to be bound by this
Agreement in the performance of its duties hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not,
however, assume any responsibility or liability for any transaction between
Seller and Purchaser other than for the performance of its obligations with
respect to the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble Deposit in accordance
with this Agreement. The duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent shall be
limited to those expressly set forth herein. Escrow Agent shall not be
personally liable for any act taken or omitted hereunder or taken by it in good
faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment.

     3.02.   LIMITED RESPONSIBILITIES. Escrow Agent shall be under no
responsibility in respect of the Post-Closing Deposit and the Barnes & Noble
Deposit other than faithfully to follow the instructions contained herein.
Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its own choosing and shall be fully
protected in any action taken in good faith, in accordance with such
consultation. Escrow Agent shall not be required to defend any legal proceedings
that may be instituted unless requested so to do by Seller and Purchaser, and
shall be indemnified by Seller and Purchaser, jointly and severally, to its
satisfaction against the cost and expense of such defense. Escrow Agent shall
have no responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any document or other
item deposited with Escrow Agent and it shall be fully protected in acting in
accordance with written instructions to it hereunder and believed by Escrow
Agent to have been signed by the proper parties. Escrow Agent is not required to
be familiar with the provisions of any other instrument or agreement and shall
not be charged with any responsibility or liability in connection with the
observance or nonobservance by any person having duties or obligations under any
such instrument or agreement.

     3.03.   INDEMNIFICATION. Except for claims, liabilities, judgments, or
expenses incurred by the parties due to a negligent act, error or omission of
Escrow Agent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, Seller and
Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify, protect and save Escrow Agent
harmless from any claims, liabilities, judgments, reasonable attorneys' fees,
and other expenses of any kind and nature that may be incurred by Escrow Agent
by reason of its acceptance of, and its good faith performance under, this
Agreement.

     3.04.   COMPLIANCE WITH ORDER OF COURT. Escrow Agent is hereby expressly
instructed by Seller and Purchaser to comply with and obey all orders, judgments
or decrees of any court with jurisdiction and in case Escrow Agent complies with
any such order, judgment or decree, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Seller
or Purchaser or to any other person or entity by reason of

<Page>

compliance. In complying with the foregoing, if Escrow Agent becomes or is made
a party to any court proceeding which affects this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall
promptly give notice thereof to Seller and Purchaser. To the extent possible in
any such proceeding, Escrow Agent shall interplead Seller and Purchaser. If
Escrow Agent receives any such order from any court, to the extent possible and
consistent with the language of such order, Escrow Agent shall delay compliance
until Seller and Purchaser have had an opportunity to advise Escrow Agent of the
respective position of each of Seller and Purchaser with regard to compliance.

     3.05.   DISPUTES. If a dispute arises as to the duties of any party under
the terms of this Agreement, Escrow Agent may file suit in interpleader for the
purpose of having the respective rights of Escrow Agent, Seller and Purchaser
adjudicated. Upon filing its complaint in interpleader, Escrow Agent shall be
relieved from all liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

                                       IV.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                  EARNEST MONEY

     3.1    DEPOSIT AND INVESTMENT OF EARNEST MONEY. One (1) business day after
the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit the Earnest Money with Escrow Agent
into a joint order escrow. Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money in
government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Seller and
Purchaser, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of Escrow Agent
or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of
the investments made. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal,
and as between Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to
such account.

     3.2    INDEPENDENT CONSIDERATION. If Purchaser elects to terminate this
Agreement for any reason and is entitled to receive a return of the Earnest
Money pursuant to the terms hereof, the Escrow Agent shall first disburse to
Seller One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) as independent consideration for
Seller's performance under this Agreement ("INDEPENDENT CONSIDERATION"), which
shall be retained by Seller in all instances.

     3.3    FORM; FAILURE TO DEPOSIT. The Earnest Money shall be in the form of
a certified or cashier's check or the wire transfer to Escrow Agent of
immediately available U.S. federal funds. If Purchaser fails to timely deposit
any portion of the Earnest Money within the time periods required, Seller may
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser, in which event any
Earnest Money that has previously been deposited by Purchaser with Escrow Agent
shall be immediately delivered to Seller and thereafter the parties hereto shall
have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and
obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof.

     3.4    DISPOSITION OF EARNEST MONEY. The Earnest Money shall be applied as
a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing. However, if Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period
pursuant to SECTION 4.4, Escrow Agent shall pay $100,000.00 of the Earnest Money
(the "NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT") (less the Independent Consideration) to Seller,
and the balance of the Earnest Money to Purchaser one business day following
receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice from Purchaser (as long as the
current investment can be liquidated and disbursed in one business day). It is
the agreement of Purchaser and Seller that the Non-Refundable Deposit has been
earned by Seller as a result of awarding the bid to Purchaser and that such
Non-Refundable Deposit shall, in all instances, be payable to Seller hereunder,
(i) save and except for a failure of Seller to convey title to Purchaser in the
manner required hereby (including the provision of the title endorsement
described on EXHIBIT J to the extent such endorsements require any action or
payments) or (ii) a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty contained
in SECTION 9.1, which is either uncured by Seller or not otherwise waived by
Purchaser. No notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the
release of the refundable portion of the Earnest Money to Purchaser by Escrow
Agent if Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to SECTION 4.4. In the
event of a termination of this Agreement by either Seller or Purchaser for any
reason other than pursuant to SECTION 4.4, Escrow Agent is authorized to deliver
the Earnest Money to the party hereto entitled to same pursuant to the terms
hereof on or before the tenth business day following receipt by Escrow Agent and
the non-terminating party of written notice of such termination from the
terminating party, unless the other party hereto notifies Escrow Agent that it
disputes the right of

Page 6
<Page>

the other party to receive the Earnest Money. In such event, Escrow Agent may
interplead the Earnest Money into a court of competent jurisdiction in the
county in which the Earnest Money has been deposited. All attorneys' fees and
costs and Escrow Agent's costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
interpleader shall be assessed against the party that is not awarded the Earnest
Money, or if the Earnest Money is distributed in part to both parties, then in
the inverse proportion of such distribution.

     4.4    DUE DILIGENCE/TERMINATION RIGHT. Purchaser shall have through the
last day of the Inspection Period in which to (a) examine, inspect, and
investigate the Property Information and the Additional Property Information
(collectively, the "PROPERTY DOCUMENTS") and the Property and, in Purchaser's
sole and absolute judgment and discretion, determine whether the Property is
acceptable to Purchaser, (b) obtain all necessary internal approvals, and (c)
satisfy all

Page 8
<Page>

other contingencies of Purchaser, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no
reason by giving written notice of termination to Seller and Escrow Agent (the
"DUE DILIGENCE TERMINATION NOTICE") on or before the last day of the Inspection
Period. If Purchaser does not give a Due Diligence Termination Notice, this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, Purchaser shall be deemed to
have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this SECTION 4.4,
and Purchaser shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has received or had
access to all Property Documents and conducted all inspections and tests of the
Property that it considers important.

     4.5    RETURN OF DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS. As additional consideration for the
transaction contemplated herein, Purchaser shall provide to Seller, immediately
following receipt of same by Purchaser, copies of all third party reports,
investigations and studies, other than economic analyses (collectively, the

with its due diligence review of the Property, including, without limitation,
any and all Reports involving structural or geological conditions,
environmental, hazardous waste or hazardous substances contamination of the
Property, if any, which Reports shall be addressed to both Seller and Purchaser
at no cost to Seller. The Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any
representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the Reports or
any other matter relating thereto. Purchaser's obligation to deliver the
Property Documents and the Reports to Seller shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

     4.6    SERVICE CONTRACTS. On or prior to the last day of the Inspection
Period, Purchaser will advise Seller in writing of which Service Contracts it
will assume and for which Service Contracts Purchaser requests that Seller
deliver written termination at or prior to Closing, provided Seller shall have
no obligation to terminate, and Purchaser shall be obligated to assume, any
Service Contracts which by their terms cannot be terminated without penalty or
payment of a fee. Seller shall deliver at Closing notices of termination of all
Service Contracts that are not so assumed. Purchaser must assume the obligations
arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts (a) that
Purchaser has agreed to assume, or that Purchaser is obligated to assume
pursuant to this SECTION 4.6, and (b) for which a termination notice is
delivered as of or prior to Closing but for which termination is not effective
until after Closing.

     4.7    PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. Purchaser acknowledges
that the Property Documents are proprietary and confidential and will be
delivered to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility
of purchasing the Property. Purchaser shall not use the Property Documents for
any purpose other than as set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall
not disclose the contents to any person other than to those persons who are
responsible for determining the feasibility of Purchaser's acquisition of the
Property including, without limitation, engineers, environmental consultants,
and appraisers, as well as potential lenders, and who have agreed to preserve
the confidentiality of such information as required hereby (collectively,
"PERMITTED OUTSIDE PARTIES"). At any time and from time to time, within two
business days after Seller's request, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list
of all parties to whom Purchaser has provided any Property Documents or any
information taken from the Property Documents. Purchaser shall not divulge the
contents of the Property Documents and other information except in strict
accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this SECTION 4.7. In
permitting Purchaser to review the Property Documents or any other information,
Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect
thereto, and no third

Page 9
<Page>

party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have
been offered, intended or created.

     4.8    NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY SELLER. Purchaser acknowledges
that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller has not made and
does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth, accuracy or
completeness of the Property Documents or the source(s) thereof. Purchaser
further acknowledges that some if not all of the Property Documents were
prepared by third parties other than Seller. Seller expressly disclaims any and
all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements
of fact and other matters contained in such information, or for omissions from
the Property Documents, or in any other written or oral communications
transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Purchaser shall rely solely upon its
own investigation with respect to the Property, including, without limitation,
the Property's physical, environmental or economic condition, compliance or lack
of compliance with any ordinance, order, permit or regulation or any other
attribute or matter relating thereto. Seller has not undertaken any independent
investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property
Documents and are providing the Property Documents solely as an accommodation to
Purchaser.

     4.9    PURCHASER'S RESPONSIBILITIES. In conducting any inspections,
investigations or tests of the Property and/or Property Documents, Purchaser and
its agents and representatives shall: (a) not unreasonably disturb the tenants
or interfere with their use of the Property pursuant to their respective Leases;
(b) not unreasonably interfere with the operation and maintenance of the
Property; (c) not damage any part of the Property or any personal property owned
or held by any tenant or any third party; (d) not injure or otherwise cause
bodily harm to Seller or its agents, guests, invitees, contractors and employees
or any tenants or their guests or invitees; (e) comply with all applicable laws;
(f) promptly pay when due the costs of all tests, investigations, and
examinations done with regard to the Property; (g) not permit any liens to
attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of its rights hereunder;
(h) repair any damage to the Real Property resulting directly or indirectly from
any such inspection or tests; and (i) not reveal or disclose prior to Closing
any information obtained during the Inspection Period concerning the Property
and the Property Documents to anyone other than the Permitted Outside Parties,
in accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in SECTION 4.7 above,
or except as may be otherwise required by law.

     4.10   PURCHASER'S AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY. Purchaser hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liens,
claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Purchaser's inspections or tests
permitted under this Agreement or any violation of the provisions of SECTIONS
4.3, 4.7 and 4.9; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect
Seller from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by
Purchaser (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as Purchaser's
actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller. Purchaser also
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold any tenant harmless from and against
any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities and expenses which
such tenant may suffer or incur due to Purchaser's breach of its obligation
under SECTION 4.7 to maintain the confidential nature of any Property Documents
or other information relative to such tenant. Purchaser's obligations under this
SECTION 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive
the Closing.

     4.11   ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES; SELLER'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE. As additional
consideration for the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, Purchaser must
provide to Seller, immediately following the receipt of same by Purchaser,
copies of any and all reports, tests or studies involving contamination of or
other environmental concerns relating to the Property; provided, however,
Purchaser shall have no obligation to cause any such tests or studies to be
performed on the Property. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has not made and
does not make any warranty or representation regarding the truth or accuracy of
any such studies or reports. Notwithstanding SECTION 4.10, Purchaser shall have
no liability or culpability of any nature as a result of having provided such
information to Seller or as a result of Seller's reliance thereon or arising out
of the fact that Purchaser merely conducted such tests or studies, so long as
Purchaser's actions do not aggravate any pre-existing liability of Seller. In
the event that such reports, tests or studies indicate the existence or
reasonable potential existence of any contamination of any portion of the
Property that is not disclosed in the Property Documents and that is material
(meaning that the reasonably estimated cost of remediation and/or other
liability associated therewith, as determined by the parties' environmental
consultants, exceeds $125,000.00), then Seller may terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice to Purchaser within ten business days after Purchaser has
provided Seller with copies of such reports, tests or studies, whereupon the
Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, the parties shall have no further
obligations hereunder except for obligations that expressly survive the
termination hereof.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                TITLE AND SURVEY

     5.1    TITLE COMMITMENT. Seller has caused to be prepared and delivered to
Purchaser: (a) a current commitment for title insurance or preliminary title
report (the "TITLE COMMITMENT") issued by the Title Company, in the amount of
the Purchase Price and on an ALTA 1992 Standard Form commitment, with Purchaser
as the proposed insured, and (b) copies of all documents of record referred to
in the Title Commitment as exceptions to title to the Property.

     5.2    NEW OR UPDATED SURVEY. Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey or
revise, modify, or re-certify an existing survey ("SURVEY") as necessary in
order for the Title Company to delete the survey exception from the Title Policy
or to otherwise satisfy Purchaser's objectives.

     5.3    TITLE REVIEW. During the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser
shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the
Survey. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except
financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller,
which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with
Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for
such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such
financing liens. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances
to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the
Effective Date without Purchaser's consent (if requested, such consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The term "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS" shall
mean: the specific exceptions (excluding exceptions that are part of the
promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that the Title Company
has not agreed to remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Title
and Survey Review Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided
above; matters created by, through or under Purchaser; items shown on

Page 11
<Page>

the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period
(or if Purchaser does not obtain a Survey, all matters that a current, accurate
survey of the Property would show); real estate taxes not yet due and payable;
rights of tenants under the Leases; rights of tenants or licensees under License
Agreements; and any licensees under any Service Contracts not terminated as of
Closing.

     5.4    DELIVERY OF TITLE POLICY AT CLOSING. In the event that the Title
Company does not issue at Closing, or unconditionally commit at Closing to
issue, to Purchaser, an owner's title policy in accordance with the Title
Commitment, insuring Purchaser's title to the Property in the amount of the
Purchase Price, subject only to the standard exceptions and exclusions from
coverage contained in such policy, the Permitted Exceptions (the "TITLE POLICY")
and the "REQUIRED ENDORSEMENTS" (herein so called) set forth on EXHIBIT J
attached hereto, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in
which case the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the
parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations, other than those
that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                           OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

     6.1    ONGOING OPERATIONS. From the Effective Date through Closing:

            6.1.1   LEASES, SERVICE CONTRACTS AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS. Seller
will perform its material obligations under the Leases, Service Contracts and
License Agreements.

            6.1.2   NEW CONTRACTS. Except as provided in SECTION 6.1.4, Seller
will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the
Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into in the
ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without the
payment of any termination penalty on not more than 30 days' prior notice.

            6.1.3   MAINTENANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS; REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Subject to SECTIONS 6.2 and 6.3, Seller shall maintain or cause the tenants
under the Leases to maintain all Improvements substantially in their present
condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) and in a manner
consistent with Seller's maintenance of the Improvements during Seller's period
of ownership. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property except as
may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of
approximately equal quality and quantity as the removed item of Tangible
Personal Property.

            6.1.4   LEASING; LICENSE AGREEMENTS. Seller will not amend or
terminate any existing Lease or License Agreement or enter into any new Lease or
new License Agreement without providing Purchaser (a) all relevant supporting
documentation, as reasonably determined by Seller, including, without
limitation, tenant financial information to the extent in Seller's possession,
and (b) as to any such amendment or termination of a Lease or License Agreement
or new Lease or new License Agreement which is to be executed after the
expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller's request for Purchaser's approval.
Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a
proposed amendment or termination of a Lease or License Agreement or new Lease
or new License Agreement within three business days after Purchaser's receipt of
the items in SECTION 6.1.4. If Purchaser does not respond to Seller's request

Page 12
<Page>

within such time period, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved such
amendment, termination or new Lease or new License Agreement. With respect to a
request for approval delivered by Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser may withhold
its consent at its reasonable discretion, and Seller may not amend or terminate
a Lease or License Agreement or enter into a new Lease or new License Agreement
without Purchaser's written consent.

     6.2    DAMAGE. If prior to Closing the Property is damaged by fire or other
casualty, Seller shall estimate the cost to repair and the time required to
complete repairs and will provide Purchaser written notice of Seller's
estimation (the "CASUALTY NOTICE") as soon as reasonably possible after the
occurrence of the casualty.

            6.2.1   MATERIAL. In the event of any Material Damage to or
destruction of the Property or any portion thereof prior to Closing, Purchaser
may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to
Seller on or before the expiration of 30 days after the date Seller delivers the
Casualty Notice to Purchaser (and if necessary, the Closing Date shall be
extended to give Purchaser the full thirty-day period to make such election and
to obtain insurance settlement agreements with Seller's insurers). Upon any such
termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties
hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, other than those
that by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does
not terminate this Agreement within said 30-day period, then the parties shall
proceed under this Agreement and close on schedule (subject to extension of
Closing as provided above), and as of Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser,
without representation or warranty by or recourse against Seller, all of
Seller's rights in and to any resulting insurance proceeds (including any rent
loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due
Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and Purchaser shall assume full
responsibility for all needed repairs, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at
Closing for any deductible amount under such insurance policies (but the amount
of the deductible plus insurance proceeds shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the
cost of repair or (b) the Purchase Price and a pro rata share of the rental or
business loss proceeds, if any). For the purposes of this Agreement, "MATERIAL
DAMAGE" and "MATERIALLY DAMAGED" means damage which, in Seller's reasonable
estimation, exceeds $750,000.00 to repair.

            6.2.2   NOT MATERIAL. If the Property is not Materially Damaged,
then Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement, and Seller
shall, at its option, either (a) repair the damage before the Closing in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (and if necessary, Seller may extend
the Closing Date up to 30 days to complete such repairs), or (b) credit
Purchaser at Closing for the reasonable cost to complete the repair (in which
case Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds and Purchaser shall assume full
responsibility for all needed repairs).

     6.3    CONDEMNATION. If proceedings in eminent domain are instituted, or if
Seller receives notice from any applicable governmental authority stating that
such proceedings will be initiated, with respect to the Property or any portion
thereof, Purchaser may, at its option, by written notice to Seller given within
ten days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary
the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to give Purchaser the full
ten-day period to make such election), either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in
which case the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser and the
parties hereto shall have no

Page 13
<Page>

further rights or obligations, other than those that by their terms survive the
termination of this Agreement, or (b) proceed under this Agreement, in which
event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title
and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the sole
right after the Closing to negotiate and otherwise deal with the condemning
authority in respect of such matter. If Purchaser does not give Seller written
notice of its election within the time required above, then Purchaser shall be
deemed to have elected option (b) above.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                     CLOSING

     7.1    CLOSING. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein
("CLOSING") shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of Escrow Agent (or
such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser).
Funds shall be deposited into and held by Escrow Agent in a closing escrow
account with a bank satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon satisfaction or
completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct
Escrow Agent to immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the
appropriate parties and make disbursements according to the closing statements
executed by Seller and Purchaser.

     7.2    CONDITIONS TO PARTIES' OBLIGATION TO CLOSE. In addition to all other
conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and
Purchaser, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereunder are conditioned upon the following:

            7.2.1   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The other party's
representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date, except for
representations and warranties made as of, or limited by, a specific date, which
will be true and correct in all material respects as of the specified date or as
limited by the specified date;

            7.2.2   DELIVERIES. As of the Closing Date, the other party shall
have tendered all deliveries to be made at Closing; and

            7.2.3   ACTIONS, SUITS, ETC. There shall exist no pending or
threatened actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings,
assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization
or other proceedings, against the other party that would materially and
adversely affect the operation or value of the Property or the other party's
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

     So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such
party's obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied
as of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as is provided herein), subject to
any applicable notice and cure periods provided in SECTIONS 10.1 and 10.2, such
party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by delivering
written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date (or such earlier
date as is provided herein), or elect to close (or to permit any such earlier
termination deadline to pass) notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such
condition, in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such
condition. In the event such party elects to close (or to permit any such
earlier termination deadline to pass), notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of
such

Page 14
<Page>

condition, said party shall be deemed to have waived said condition, and there
shall be no liability on the part of any other party hereto for breaches of
representations and warranties of which the party electing to close had
knowledge at the Closing.

     7.3    SELLER'S DELIVERIES IN ESCROW. As of or prior to the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver in escrow to Escrow Agent the following:

            7.3.1   DEED. A special warranty deed in the form of EXHIBIT B
hereto (or other limited warranty deed, as Seller's local counsel or Title
Company shall advise, warranting title only against any party claiming by,
through or under Seller) in form acceptable for recordation under the law of the
state where the Property is located and restating the provisions of ARTICLE 11
hereof and including a list of Permitted Exceptions to which the conveyance
shall be subject, executed and acknowledged by Seller, conveying to Purchaser
Seller's interest in the Real Property (the "DEED"):

            7.3.2   BILL OF SALE, ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION. A Bill of Sale,
Assignment and Assumption of Contracts and an Assignment and Assumption of
Leases in the form of EXHIBIT C-1 and EXHIBIT C-2, respectively, attached hereto
(collectively, the "ASSIGNMENT"), executed and acknowledged by Seller, vesting
in Purchaser, without warranty other than as set forth herein, Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the property described therein free of any claims,
except for the Permitted Exceptions to the extent applicable;

            7.3.3   CONVEYANCING OR TRANSFER TAX FORMS OR RETURNS. Such
conveyancing or transfer tax forms or returns, if any, as are required to be
delivered or signed by Seller by applicable state and local law in connection
with the conveyance of the Real Property;

            7.3.4   FIRPTA. A Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act
affidavit in the form of EXHIBIT D hereto executed by Seller;

            7.3.5   AUTHORITY. Evidence of the existence, organization and
authority of Seller and of the authority of the persons executing documents on
behalf of Seller reasonably satisfactory to the underwriter for the Title
Policy;

            7.3.6   ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Any additional documents that Escrow
Agent or the Title Company may reasonably require for the proper consummation of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (provided, however, no such
additional document shall expand any obligation, covenant, representation or
warranty of Seller or result in any new or additional obligation, covenant,
representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement beyond those expressly
set forth in this Agreement); and

            7.3.7   TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant Estoppel Certificates
substantially in the form of EXHIBIT G-1 (or, if a tenant's Lease specifies or
contemplates another form of tenant estoppel certificate, then such other
specified or contemplated form) executed by tenants occupying not less than 90%
of the square feet in the Improvements leased to tenants, but which must in all
events include Cost Plus, World Market and Pier I Imports. Seller shall not be
obligated to expend any funds in connection with obtaining any such tenant
estoppel certificates, and the failure of Seller to obtain any such tenant
estoppel certificates shall not be a breach or default hereunder. Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to reconcile factual

Page 15
<Page>

discrepancies between the Tenant Estoppel Certificates and the Lease Files and
Rent Roll so long as Seller is not obligated to incur costs to do so. If Seller
is unable to deliver the tenant estoppel certificates referred to in this
SECTION 7.3.7 in the manner and time frames required hereby, including
reconciliation of the same in the manner described above, then Purchaser's sole
remedies and recourses shall be limited to either (a) waiving the requirement
for the tenant estoppel certificate(s) in question and proceeding to Closing
without reduction of the Purchase Price or (b) terminating this Agreement by
immediate notification to Seller, in which event this Agreement shall be
terminated as provided for in SECTION 10.2 even if it is determined that the
Tenant Estoppel Certificates cannot be obtained following the expiration of the
Inspection Period. Either decision must be made within three (3) business days
of receipt of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates or Purchaser will be deemed to
have elected to proceed under (a) above. The parties further agree that Seller

     amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser, said amount shall be paid by Seller
     to Purchaser within ten business days of such final determination under the
     Leases. If the final determination of operating expenses and/or taxes due
     under the Leases shows that a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller,

     remit said amount to Seller to the extent monies have been received by
     Purchaser from the tenant(s) in question. Purchaser agrees to receive and

compensation directly to any other broker, agent or person. Any cooperating
broker shall not be an affiliate, subsidiary or related in any way to Purchaser.

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     10.1   SELLER'S REMEDIES. If Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of
the Property pursuant to this Agreement as a result of Purchaser's default
hereunder, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this
Agreement and recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as
penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and
Purchaser agree that Seller's damages resulting from Purchaser's failure to
consummate the purchase of the Property are difficult, if not impossible, to
determine and the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages, which has
been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of such damages to be certain.
If Purchaser defaults on its obligations hereunder at or prior to Closing other
than failing to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this
Agreement, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Purchaser's representations
or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such default or breach
is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) business day after written notice
thereof from Seller or the Closing Date (except no notice or cure period shall
apply if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property hereunder),
then INLAND REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS, INC., an Illinois corporation, shall be
liable to Seller for any and all claims, demands, liabilities (including strict
liability), losses, damages (including consequential damages), causes of action,
judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and
expenses of attorneys, consultants, contractors, experts and laboratories), of
any and every kind of character, contingent or otherwise, matured or unmatured,
known or unknown, forseeable or unforeseeable, whether or not ultimately
defeated, and the settlement of any claim or judgment including all value paid
or given in settlement as a result of such default. Notwithstanding anything in
this SECTION 10.1 or in EXHIBIT I to the contrary, in the event of Purchaser's
default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies

Page 23
<Page>

available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or
affiliated with Purchaser is asserting any claims or right to the Property that
would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having clear, indefeasible and
marketable title to the Property, and in said event Seller shall not be required
to submit such matter to arbitration as contemplated by EXHIBIT I. If Closing is
consummated, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity in the
event Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of Purchaser under this
Agreement not cured by Purchaser within three (3) business days after written
notice from Seller to Purchaser of the breach of the Obligation. The obligations
of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. set forth in this SECTION 10.1 shall be
an obligation of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc., which expressly survive
Closing hereunder.

     10.2   PURCHASER'S REMEDIES. If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the
Property pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise defaults on its obligations
hereunder at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Purchaser to
perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller's
representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and such
default or breach is not cured by the earlier of the third (3rd) business day
after written notice thereof from Purchaser or the Closing Date (Purchaser
hereby agreeing to give such written notice to Seller within five business days
after Purchaser first learns of any such default or breach by Seller, except no
notice or cure period shall apply if Seller fails to consummate the sale of the
Property hereunder), Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (a)
terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election
prior to or at Closing and recover the Earnest Money, (b) enforce specific
performance to consummate the sale of the Property hereunder, or (c) waive said
failure or breach and proceed to Closing without any reduction in the Purchase
Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be
deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser fails to deliver
to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of
action for specific performance against Seller on or before thirty business days
following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to
commence an arbitration resolution of the dispute in accordance with the
requirements hereof following the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser's remedies
shall be limited to those described in this SECTION 10.2 and SECTIONS 10.3 and
10.4 hereof. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNERS,
SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF
THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY
FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE,
EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

     10.3   ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event either party hereto employs an
attorney in connection with claims by one party against the other arising from
the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the
prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection with such claims.

     10.4   OTHER EXPENSES. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default
of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to
Escrow Agent for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation
fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation
and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment.

     11.2   SALE "AS IS, WHERE IS". Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon
Closing, Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept
the Property "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS," except to the extent expressly
provided otherwise in this Agreement and any document executed by Seller and
delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on, and Seller has not
made and is not liable for or bound by, any express or implied warranties,
guarantees, statements, representations or information pertaining to the
Property or relating thereto (including specifically, without limitation,
Property information packages distributed with respect to the Property) made or
furnished by Seller, or any property manager, real estate broker, agent or third
party representing or purporting to represent Seller, to whomever made or given,
directly or indirectly, orally or in writing. Purchaser represents that it is a
knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated purchaser of real estate and that,
except as expressly set forth in

Page 25
<Page>

this Agreement, it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of
Purchaser's consultants in purchasing the Property and shall make an independent
verification of the accuracy of any documents and information provided by
Seller. Purchaser will conduct such inspections and investigations of the
Property as Purchaser deems necessary, including, but not limited to, the
physical and environmental conditions thereof, and shall rely upon same. By
failing to terminate, this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has afforded Purchaser a full
opportunity to conduct such investigations of the Property as Purchaser deemed
necessary to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property and the
existence or non-existence or curative action to be taken with respect to any
Hazardous Materials on or discharged from the Property, and will rely solely
upon same and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its
agents or employees with respect thereto, other than such representations,
warranties and covenants of Seller as are expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Upon Closing, Purchaser shall assume the risk that adverse matters, including,
but not limited to, adverse physical or construction defects or adverse
environmental, health or safety conditions, may not have been revealed by
Purchaser's inspections and investigations. Purchaser hereby represents and
warrants to Seller that: (a) Purchaser is represented by legal counsel in
connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and (b)
Purchaser is purchasing the Property for business, commercial, investment or
other similar purpose and not for use as Purchaser's residence. Purchaser waives
any and all rights or remedies it may have or be entitled to, deriving from
disparity in size or from any significant disparate bargaining position in
relation to Seller.

     11.3   SELLER RELEASED FROM LIABILITY. Purchaser acknowledges that it will
have the opportunity to inspect the Property during the Inspection Period, and
during such period, observe its physical characteristics and existing conditions
and the opportunity to conduct such investigation and study on and of the
Property and adjacent areas as Purchaser deems necessary, and Purchaser hereby
FOREVER RELEASES AND DISCHARGES Seller from all responsibility and liability,
including without limitation, liabilities under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act Of 1980 (42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et
seq.), as amended ("CERCLA"), regarding the condition, valuation, salability or
utility of the Property, or its suitability for any purpose whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, with respect to the presence in the soil, air,
structures and surface and subsurface waters, of Hazardous Materials or other
materials or substances that have been or may in the future be determined to be
toxic, hazardous, undesirable or subject to regulation and that may need to be
specially treated, handled and/or removed from the Property under current or
future federal, state and local laws, regulations or guidelines, and any
structural and geologic conditions, subsurface soil and water conditions and
solid and hazardous waste and Hazardous Materials on, under, adjacent to or
otherwise affecting the Property). Purchaser further hereby WAIVES (and by
Closing this transaction will be deemed to have WAIVED) any and all objections
and complaints (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local
statutory and common law based actions, and any private right of action under
any federal, state or local laws, regulations or guidelines to which the
Property is or may be subject, including, but not limited to, CERCLA) concerning
the physical characteristics and any existing conditions of the Property.
Purchaser further hereby assumes the risk of changes in applicable laws and
regulations relating to past, present and future environmental conditions on the
Property and the risk that adverse physical characteristics and conditions,
including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Materials or other
contaminants, may not have been revealed by its investigation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,

Page 26
<Page>

Purchaser is not assuming responsibility for any environmental condition which
occurred during the term of Seller's ownership of which Seller had actual
knowledge and failed to disclose to Purchaser either through the terms and
provisions of this Agreement or through the Environmental Reports which
Purchaser was provided and/or obtained in the course of its due diligence.

     11.4   "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS" DEFINED. For purposes hereof, "HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS" means "Hazardous Material," "Hazardous Substance," "Pollutant or
Contaminant," and "Petroleum" and "Natural Gas Liquids," as those terms are
defined or used in Section 101 of CERCLA, and any other substances regulated
because of their effect or potential effect on public health and the
environment, including, without limitation, PCBs, lead paint, asbestos, urea
formaldehyde, radioactive materials, putrescible materials, and infectious
materials.

     11.5   INDEMNITY. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller
harmless of and from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, and expenses of
any kind or nature which arise or accrue after Closing and which are in any way
related to the ownership, maintenance, or operation of the Property by Purchaser
and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, in connection
with Hazardous Materials.

     11.6   SURVIVAL. The terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 11 shall
expressly survive the Closing, not merge with the provisions of any closing
documents and shall be incorporated into the Deed.

     Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimers and other agreements
set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement and that Seller would
not have agreed to sell the Property to Purchaser for the Purchase Price without
the disclaimers and other agreements set forth above.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1   PARTIES BOUND; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement, and the terms, covenants,
and conditions herein contained, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of each of the
parties hereto. Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement upon the
following conditions: (a) the assignee of Purchaser must be an entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Purchaser, (b) all of
the Earnest Money must have been delivered in accordance herewith, (c) the
Inspection Period shall be deemed to have ended, (d) the assignee of Purchaser
shall assume all obligations of Purchaser hereunder, but Purchaser shall remain
primarily liable for the performance of Purchaser's obligations, including,
without limitation, all matters under SECTION 10.1 above, (e) a copy of the
fully executed written assignment and assumption agreement shall be delivered to
Seller at least ten days prior to Closing, and (f) the requirements in SECTION
12.17 are satisfied.

     12.2   HEADINGS. The article, section, subsection, paragraph and/or other
headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and in no way limit or
enlarge the scope or meaning of the language hereof.

     12.3   INVALIDITY AND WAIVER. If any portion of this Agreement is held
invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder
of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest
extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the
portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce
against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of such party's right to enforce against the other party the same or
any other such term or provision in the future.

     12.4   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed,
construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the law of the state in
which the Real Property is located.

     12.5   SURVIVAL. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate
performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully
performed at the Closing (other than any unfulfilled closing conditions which
have been waived or deemed waived by the other party) shall survive the Closing
and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of
Closing.

     12.6   ENTIRETY AND AMENDMENTS. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or
supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought. All Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by
this reference for all purposes.

     12.7   TIME. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

     12.8   CONFIDENTIALITY. Purchaser shall make no public announcement or
disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to outside brokers or
third parties, before or after the Closing, without the prior written specific
consent of Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser may, subject to the
provisions of SECTION 4.7. make disclosure of this Agreement to its Permitted
Outside Parties as necessary to perform its obligations hereunder and as may be
required under laws or regulations applicable to Purchaser. Following the
Closing, Purchaser may make a public announcement or disclosure so long as such
public announcement or disclosure to parties other than the Permitted Outside
Parties does not disclose the Purchase Price paid or other financial terms.

     12.9   NO ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree
this Agreement shall not be executed, entered into, altered, amended or modified
by electronic means. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
parties hereby agree the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not
be conducted by electronic means, except as specifically set forth in the
"Notices" section of this Agreement.

     12.10  NOTICES. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be served on the parties at the addresses set forth in SECTION
1.3. Any such notices shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be given or
served (a) by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage paid,
certified and addressed to the party to be notified, with return receipt
requested, (b) by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight
courier, (c) by

SECTION 12.10, or (e) by electronic mail addressed to the electronic mail
address set forth in SECTION 1.3 for the party to be notified with a
confirmation copy delivered by another method permitted under this SECTION
12.10. Notice given in accordance herewith for all permitted forms of notice
other than by electronic mail, shall be effective upon the earlier to occur of
actual delivery to the address of the addressee or refusal of receipt by the
addressee. Notice given by electronic mail in accordance herewith shall be
effective upon the entrance of such electronic mail into the information
processing system designated by the recipient's electronic mail address. Except
for facsimile and electronic mail notices as described above, no notice
hereunder shall be effective if sent or delivered by electronic means. In no
event shall this Agreement be altered, amended or modified by electronic mail or
electronic record. A party's address may be changed by written notice to the
other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be
effective until actual receipt of such notice. Copies of notices are for
informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any
notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by counsel to
the Purchaser shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by counsel to
the Seller shall be deemed given by Seller.

     12.11  CONSTRUCTION. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their
counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule
of construction - to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party - shall not be employed in the interpretation of this
Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

     12.12  CALCULATION OF TIME PERIODS. Unless otherwise specified, in
computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after
which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the
last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the
Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the
next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The last day of
any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. local
time in the state in which the Real Property is located.

     12.13  EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all
of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of
this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by telephone facsimile
counterparts of the signature pages, provided that executed originals thereof
are forwarded to the other party on the same day by any of the delivery methods
set forth in SECTION 12.9 other than facsimile.

     12.14  NO RECORDATION. Without the prior written consent of Seller, there
shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or
any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or
memorandum or affidavit by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller
shall constitute a default hereunder by Purchaser, whereupon Seller shall have
the remedies set forth in SECTION 10.1 hereof. In addition to any such remedies,
Purchaser shall be obligated to execute an instrument in recordable form
releasing this Agreement or memorandum or affidavit, and Purchaser's obligations
pursuant to this SECTION 12.14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement
as a surviving obligation.

Page 29
<Page>

     12.15  FURTHER ASSURANCES. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein
and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at
Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any
obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing
any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to further perfect the
conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser.

     12.16  DISCHARGE OF OBLIGATIONS. The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser
shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation
and warranty made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the
part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.

     12.17  ERISA. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to
assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an employee
benefit plan if Seller's sale of the Property to such person or entity would, in
the reasonable opinion of Seller's ERISA advisors or consultants, create or
otherwise cause a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA. In the event Purchaser
assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and
such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction
hereunder a "prohibited transaction" under ERISA and necessitate the termination
of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be
contained herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

     12.18  NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. The provisions of this Agreement and of
the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the
benefit of Seller and Purchaser only and are not for the benefit of any third
party, and accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at
Closing, except that a tenant of the Property may enforce Purchaser's indemnity
obligation under SECTION 4.10 hereof.

     12.19  REPORTING PERSON. Purchaser and Seller hereby designate the Title
Company as the "reporting person" pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     12.20  MANDATORY ARBITRATION. The parties have agreed to submit disputes to
mandatory arbitration in accordance with the provisions of EXHIBIT I attached
hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes. Each of Seller and Purchaser
waives the right to commence an action in connection with this Agreement in any
court and expressly agrees to be bound by the decision of the arbitrators
determined in EXHIBIT I attached hereto. The waiver of this SECTION 12.20 will
not prevent Seller or Purchaser from commencing an action in any court for the
sole purposes of enforcing the obligation of the other party to submit to
binding arbitration or the enforcement of an award granted by arbitration herein
or as expressly permitted by SECTION 10.1 hereof.

     12.21  LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. Purchaser may consummate the purchase of the
Property as part of a so-called like-kind exchange (the "EXCHANGE") pursuant to
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 19S6, as amended, provided that (a)
Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing no

Page 30
<Page>

later than ten days before Closing that it intends to consummate this
transaction as part of an Exchange, and shall provide with such notice all
material information relating to the parties and properties to the Exchange; (b)
all costs, fees, and expenses attendant to the Exchange shall be the sole
responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless
Seller from and against any such costs, fees, and expenses; (c) the Closing
shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the
consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or
condition subsequent to Purchaser's obligations and covenants under this
Agreement; and (d) Seller shall not be required to acquire or hold title to any
real property other than the Property for purposes of consummating the Exchange.
Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any
liability, damages, or costs, including (without limitation) reasonable
attorneys' fees, that may result from Seller's acquiescence to the Exchange.
Seller shall not, by this Agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange, (1) have
its rights under this Agreement, including (without limitation) those that
survive Closing, affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for
compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Purchaser that the Exchange in
fact complies with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The terms of this Section shall survive Closing.

     12.22  POST-CLOSING AUDIT. Seller acknowledges that subsequent to Closing,
Purchaser desires to conduct an audit of operating records for the Property for
the calendar year ended December, 2003, that the Seller owned the Property.
Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, without incurring
additional costs, and make available for review such Property Information not
previously provided to Purchaser that is necessary for such audit, to the extent
such Property Information in the possession of Seller or its property management
company. Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall provide to Seller the list of
information Purchaser will need in order to accomplish such audit. By agreement
of the parties in order to satisfy the requirements of this SECTION 12.22, the
parties have negotiated and agreed that the letter attached hereto as EXHIBIT K
shall be executed and delivered by Seller at the Closing in satisfaction of
Seller's pre-closing obligations under this SECTION 12.22.

prepared by any party, (4) limit the time for presentation of any party's case

connection with any hearing, and (5) impose any other rules which the
arbitrators believe appropriate to effect a resolution of the dispute as quickly
and inexpensively as possible. In any event, the arbitrators (A) shall permit
each side no more than two depositions (including any deposition of experts),
which depositions may not exceed four hours each, one set of ten interrogatories
(inclusive of sub-parts) and one set of five document requests (inclusive of
sub- parts), (B) shall not permit any requests for admissions, (C) shall limit
the hearing, if any, to two days, and (D) shall render his or her decision
within 60 days of the filing of the arbitration.

determination or award, the arbitrators will apply the laws of the state in
which the Property is located. Except as permitted under SECTION 1(d) above, the
arbitrators' award will be limited to actual damages and will not include

preserved and protected. All experts engaged by a party must be disclosed to the
other party within 14 days after the date of notice and demand for arbitration

Chicago, IL 60601

Ladies and Gentlemen

We, as the owner and Seller (herein so called) of Best on the Boulevard (the
"Property") are confirming our understanding that your audit of the Historical
Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses ("Historical Summary") of
Best on the Boulevard for the calendar year ended December, 2003, during our
period of ownership will be made for the purpose of expressing an opinion to
your client, _____________________________________, as to whether the Historical
Summary presents fairly, in all material respects, the gross income and direct
operating expenses in conformity with the CASH OR ACCRUAL basis of accounting.
In connection with your audit, we confirm, to our actual knowledge without
additional investigation or inquiry, the following representations are made as
to the audit:

1.   We will make available to you:

     a)   All financial records and related data for the Property reasonably
          requested by you in our possession.

2.   There have been no:

     a)        Instances of fraud involving any member of management or
          employees who have significant roles in internal control, nor are we
          aware of instances of fraud by others.

     b)        Communications from regulatory agencies concerning non-compliance
          with, or deficiencies in, financial reporting practices received by
          the undersigned that could reasonably be expected to have a material
          effect on the Historical Summary.

     c)        Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations for
          which we have received actual notices, the effects of which should be
          considered for disclosure in the Historical Summary or as a basis for
          recording the loss contingency, nor are we aware of any violations of
          laws or regulations that to our actual knowledge would have an adverse
          impact upon the materials delivered to you.

Page 1
<Page>

     d)        Nor are we aware of any entries in the minutes of any applicable
          board or summary of recent meetings for which minutes have not yet
          been prepared which conflict with the financial records provided or
          the statements made herein.

3.   There are no:

     a)   Material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the
          accounting records underlying the Historical Summary.

     b)   Events that have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and
          through the date of this latter that would require adjustment to or
          disclosure in the Historical Summary.

     c)   Uninsured claims, asserted claims, material liabilities or loss
          contingencies that we believe should have been recorded in the
          financial statements that have not been recorded.

4.   We have received no notices indicating that the Property has failed to
     comply with all aspects of the contractual agreements that would have a
     material effect on the Historical Summary in the event of noncompliance.

5.   All income from operating leases is included as gross income in the
     Historical Summary. No other forms of revenue are included in the
     Historical Summary.

6.   Terms such as "to our knowledge," "to the best of our knowledge", "to our
     actual knowledge" or like phrases mean the actual present and conscious
     awareness or knowledge of Coe Juracek ("Seller's Representative"), without
     any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided that so qualifying Seller's
     knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on the part
     of Seller's Representative, or any of them, or any other officer or
     employee of Seller, on account of any breach of any representation or
     warranty made by Seller herein. Said terms do not include constructive
     knowledge, imputed knowledge, or knowledge Seller or such persons do not
     have but could have obtained through further investigation or inquiry.
