THIS NONCOMPETITION
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
                                  ,

WHEREAS, the Company and
Kite Realty Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, of which the Company
is the general partner (the “Operating Partnership”), are engaging in various
related transactions pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the
Operating Partnership will acquire interests in various entities that own or
lease real estate properties in which certain persons affiliated with the
Company have interests, including the Executive (ii) the Company will
acquire indirect interests in certain service companies currently owned by
persons affiliated with the Company, and (iii) the Company will effect an
initial public offering of its common shares and contribute the proceeds
therefrom for a like number of units of partnership interest in the Operating

above, the “Kite IPO Transactions”);

 

WHEREAS, concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and the
Executive are entering into an Employment Agreement dated as of the date
hereof, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to employ
the Executive, and the Executive has agreed to be employed by the Company, in
accordance with the terms thereof (the “Employment Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and
the Executive agree that, as part of the Kite IPO Transactions, the Executive
will not engage in competition with the Company and will refrain from taking
certain other actions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof in an effort
to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and goodwill and for
other business purposes.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Noncompetition.  The Executive agrees with the Company that
for the period during which the Executive is employed by the Company (or any
successor thereto) or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) (collectively, the “REIT”), and for one year thereafter
(the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not, (i) directly or
indirectly, engage in any business involving real property development,
construction, acquisition, ownership or operation, whether such business is
conducted by the Executive
individually or as a principal, partner, member, stockholder, director,
trustee, officer, employee or independent contractor of any Person (as defined
below) or (ii) own any interests in real property which are competitive,
directly or indirectly, with any business carried on by the REIT; provided, however, that this Section 1 shall not be deemed

 

 

to prohibit any of the following: 
(a) any of the real estate (and real estate-related) activities listed
on Schedule A hereto, the Executive’s ownership, marketing, sale, transfer or
exchange of any of the Executive’s interests in any of the properties or
entities listed on Schedule A hereto or any other permitted activities listed
on Schedule A hereto, (b) the direct or indirect ownership by the Executive of
up to five percent of the outstanding equity interests of any public company,
and (c) any activities with respect to residential real estate and (d) a
direct or indirect passive ownership by the Executive of equity or similar
ownership interests of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, association or other entity that is not a public company,
provided that the Executive is not involved in the management or operation of
such Person or its business (as a director, trustee, officer, employee or
otherwise) and such Person does not engage, directly or indirectly, in (x) the
development, construction,
acquisition, ownership or operation of neighborhood and community shopping
centers or (y) any other business or enterprise in competition with any
material business activities of the REIT. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the one-year “tail” period
included in the Restricted Period, the restrictions set forth in this Section 1
shall apply only within the following “Restricted Areas”: (I) the states
of Indiana, Florida and Texas; (II) the area within a 10-mile radius of any
property owned or leased by the REIT, as of the date of the Executive’s
termination of employment; (III) each county in each state in which the REIT
owns or leases property as of the date of the Executive’s termination of
employment; and (IV) in any state in which the REIT owns or leases at least
five properties as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment,
the area within a 50-mile radius of any property owned or leased by the REIT,
as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment. 
For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means any individual, firm,
corporation, partnership, company, limited liability company, trust, joint
venture, association or other entity.

 

2.                                       Nonsolicitation.
The Executive agrees with the Company that for the period during which the
Executive is employed by the REIT, and for two years thereafter, such
Executive will not (i) directly or indirectly solicit, induce or encourage any
employee or independent contractor to terminate their employment with the REIT
or to cease rendering services to the REIT, and the Executive shall not
initiate discussions with any such Person for any such purpose or authorize or
knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other Person, or
(ii) hire (on behalf of the Executive or any other person or entity) any
employee or independent contractor who has left the employment or other service
of the REIT (or any predecessor thereof) within one year of the termination of
such employee’s or independent contractor’s employment or other service with
the REIT.

 

3.                                       Reasonable
and Necessary Restrictions.  The
Executive acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions
hereof, including, without limitation, the Restricted Area, the Restriction
Period and the restriction period set forth in Section 2, are reasonable, fair
and equitable in terms of duration, scope and geographic area, are necessary to
protect the legitimate business interests of the REIT, and are a material
inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and the Employment Agreement.

 

4.                                       Specific
Performance.  The Executive
acknowledges that the obligations undertaken by such Executive pursuant to this
Agreement are unique and that

 

2

 

the Company likely will have no adequate remedy at law if the Executive
shall fail to perform any of such Executive’s obligations hereunder, and the
Executive therefore confirms that the Company’s right to specific performance
of the terms of this Agreement is essential to protect the rights and interests
of the Company.  Accordingly, in addition
to any other remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity, the
Company shall have the right to have all obligations, covenants, agreements and
other provisions of this Agreement specifically performed by the Executive, and
the Company shall have the right to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive
relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated
breach of this Agreement by the Executive. 
The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not
be required to post bond as a condition to obtaining or exercising such
remedies, and the Executive hereby waives any such requirement or condition.

 

5.                                       Miscellaneous
Provisions.

 

(a)                                  Assignment;
Binding Effect.  This Agreement may
not be assigned by the Executive, but may be assigned by the Company to any
successor to its business or to any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company and
will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any such successor.  Subject to the foregoing provisions
restricting assignment, all covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives.

 

(b)                                 Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, together
with the Employment Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersedes and
renders of no force and effect all prior oral or written agreements,
commitments and understandings among the parties with respect to the matters
set forth herein.  This Section 5(b)
shall not be used to limit or restrict the rights or remedies, whether express
or implied, of any noncompetition or nonsolicitation policies of the REIT
applicable to the Executive.

 

(c)                                  Amendment.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, no amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement shall
be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by each of
the parties hereto.

 

(d)                                 Waivers.  No waiver by a party hereto shall be
effective unless made in a written instrument duly executed by the party
against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and only to the extent set
forth in such instrument.  Neither the
waiver by either of the parties hereto of a breach or a default under any of
the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of either of the parties, on
one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to
exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver
of any such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

 

(e)                                  Severability.  If fulfillment of any provision of this
Agreement, at the time such fulfillment shall be due, shall transcend the limit
of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision contained
in this Agreement operates or would operate to

 

3

 

invalidate this Agreement, in whole or in part, then such clause or
provision only shall be held ineffective, as though not herein contained, and
the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the restrictions
against engaging in competitive activity contained in this Agreement shall be
determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason
of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a
geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive or unreasonable in
any other respect, the Agreementshall
be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may
be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be
enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may
be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action and the court
may limit the application of any other provision or covenant, or modify any
such term, provision or covenant and proceed to enforce this Agreement as so
limited or modified.  To the extent necessary,
the parties shall revise the Agreement and enter into an appropriate amendment
to the extent necessary to implement any of the foregoing.

 

(f)                                    Governing
Law; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement,
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes
relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Indiana, but not including the choice-of-law rules
thereof.

 

(g)                                 Headings.  Section and subsection headings contained in
this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be
deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way
define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions
hereof.

 

(h)                                 Executive’s
Acknowledgement. The Executive acknowledges (i) that he has had the
opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his own choice concerning
this Agreement, and (ii) that he has read and understands this Agreement, is
fully aware of its legal effect, and has entered into it freely based on his
own judgment.

communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and conditions set
forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

 

ARTICLE I – THE
OPTION

 

1.1                                 Grant
of Option.  Optionor hereby grants to

the Property (or any legally subdivided portion thereof) on an “as is” basis
(subject to all matters of record) on the terms and conditions set forth herein
(the “Option”).

 

1.2                                 Commencement
of Option.  Kite Realty shall have
the right to exercise the Option at any time after the date upon which the
Property reaches 85% occupancy until the expiration of the Option pursuant to
Section 1.3.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the Kite IPO is not consummated prior to
January 1, 2005, this Agreement shall become null and void and no party
shall have any liability to the other parties hereunder with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby.

 

1.3                                 Expiration
of Option.  Subject to
Section 6.1 hereof, the Option shall expire on the fourth anniversary of
the date of commencement of construction of the planned development on the

1.4                                 Partial
Exercise of Option.  Kite Realty may
exercise the Option as to the entire Property or (subject to Section 4.1)

legally subdivided parcels of the Property (each, a “Portion”).  If Kite Realty elects to exercise the Option
with respect to one or more Portions, the remainder of the Property shall
remain subject to the Option; it being understood that the Option shall remain
in effect as to the remaining portion of the Property subject to
Section 6.1 hereof.

 

1.5                                 Consents.  The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is subject to any consents required under the

rights of Kite Realty hereunder are and shall be subordinate to any Existing
Financings and New Financings.

 

ARTICLE II – PROCESS FOR
EXERCISE OF THE OPTION

 

2.1                                 Exercise.  Subject to Section 1.2 hereof, the
Option may be exercised during the Option Term by delivery of written notice by
Kite Realty to Optionor (the “Exercise Notice”), stating that the Option is
exercised on the terms set forth in this Agreement.  The Exercise Notice shall specify the name of
the First Appraiser (as defined in Section 3.1(a)(ii)) and clearly
identify whether it applies to the entire Property or a Portion.  The date upon which the Exercise Notice is
delivered by Optionor in accordance with this Agreement is hereinafter referred
to as the “Exercise Date.”  If the Option
is timely exercised, subject to Section 3.1(f), the Property or the
Portion (as the case may be) shall be conveyed, and the closing date of such
acquisition, transfer and conveyance (the

 

2

 

“Closing Date”)
shall occur within the later of (a) 15 days after the last day of the month
immediately following the month in which the Exercise Notice is delivered or
(b) 45 days after the determination of the FMV (as defined in Section 3.1)
of the Property (or a Portion, as applicable) at the time in accordance with
Section 3.1.  The exercise (or
partial exercise) of the Option is subject to the approval of a majority of the
“independent” members of the Board of Trustees of the REIT (as defined in the
REIT’s Amended and Restated Bylaws), as general partner of Kite Realty.

agrees to permit Kite Realty and Kite Realty’s agents to enter upon the
Property, subject to the rights of any tenants, at reasonable times to make
such surveys, inspections and tests as may reasonably be necessary in
connection with its examination of the Property.  Kite Realty hereby agrees to repair any damage
it or its agents may cause to the Property as a result of any such inspections
or tests or any other related damage caused by Kite Realty or its agents, and
further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Optionor, Optionor’s managers and
the Members harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, suffered
by Optionor, Optionor’s managers and/or the Members as a direct result of the
entry by Kite Realty or Kite Realty’s agents upon, or acts upon, the Property
in connection with any such inspections or tests or any other related damage
caused by Kite Realty or its agents.

 

2.3                                 Information.  Optionor agrees to permit Kite Realty and its
agents to review all books, records and other documentation reasonably requested
by Kite Realty with respect to Optionor or the Property, which are in
Optionor’s possession and control.

of the Property, on a quarterly basis, which report shall include unaudited
financials, the Property’s operating history and Optionor’s current estimate of

Optionor with respect to the Property (including, without limitation,
accounting and record-keeping services), Optionor shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligation under this Section 2.3 to the extent that the
information requested by this Section 2.3 is available to Kite Realty or
such subsidiaries or affiliated companies pursuant to the Management Agreement
or in connection with the performance of such administrative services, and such
information should be deemed to have been delivered by Optionor to Kite Realty

to such information – confidential or otherwise – contained in the Management
Agreement or any agreement providing for the performance of such administrative
services).

 

ARTICLE III
– ACQUISITION PROCESS

 

3.1                                 Acquisition
Consideration.

 

(a)                                  The
acquisition consideration to be paid by Kite Realty for the Property or any
Portion thereof (the “Acquisition Consideration”) pursuant to an exercise of
the Option under Section 2.1 shall be equal to the lesser of (i)
Annualized NOI divided by 8.5% or (ii) the fair market value (“FMV”) at the
time, as determined in accordance with this Section 3.1, of the Property
or the Portion, respectively, at the time; provided, however,

 

3

 

that, with respect to the acquisition of a Portion of the Property, for
purposes of this Agreement, the Acquisition Consideration shall mean an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the Acquisition Consideration for the entire
Property multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the portion of the
Annualized NOI attributable to such Portion by (y) the total Annualized NOI or
(ii) the FMV of the Portion.  “Annualized
NOI” shall mean the annualized
net operating income for the Property, calculated as follows: the sum of (i)
the net operating income for the Property for the month immediately prior to
the month in which the Exercise Notice is delivered plus (ii) the net operating
income for the Property for the month in which the Exercise Notice is delivered
plus (iii) the net operating income for the Property for the month immediately
following the month in which the Exercise Notice is delivered, annualized.

 

(i)                                     FMV
for this purpose shall mean the price at which a willing buyer would buy, and a
willing seller would sell, the Property or a Portion (as applicable)in an arms-length transaction assuming the
Property or the Portion (as applicable) is sold in an orderly disposition and
each of the buyer and seller are aware of, and take into account, all relevant
factors which exist at the time.

 

(ii)                                  In
the Exercise Notice, Kite Realty shall designate an appraiser (the “First
Appraiser”) to determine FMV for the Property or a Portion (as
applicable).  Optionor then shall have 10
days after receiving such notice to designate a second appraiser (the “Second
Appraiser”) by written notice to Kite Realty. 
If Optionor fails to timely designate the Second Appraiser, FMV shall be
determined by the First Appraiser.  The
First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser each shall separately determine FMV in
accordance with Section 3.1(a) and shall provide a detailed written
valuation report to each of Optionor and Kite Realty within 45 days after
the last day for designating the Second Appraiser.  The designation of the First Appraiser shall
be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees of the REIT,
which majority must include a majority of “independent” trustees, as defined in
the REIT’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. 
If only one appraiser timely submits a proper valuation report, its FMV
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this
Agreement.  If both appraisers timely
submit proper valuation reports, and their FMV determinations vary by 10% or
less, FMV shall be equal to the average of the two FMV determinations.  If both appraisers timely submit proper
valuation reports, and their FMV determinations vary by more than 10%, the two
appraisers shall promptly appoint a third appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”),
which shall independently determine FMV in accordance with Section 3.1(a)
and shall provide a detailed written valuation report to each of Optionor and
Kite Realty within 45 days after its appointment.  FMV shall then be equal to the average of the
two closest FMV determinations submitted by the three appraisers.  FMV as determined in accordance with Section 3.1(a)
shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(iii)                               In
preparing its FMV determination, each appraiser shall be provided with the same
Property-specific source documents and information and the same access to
personnel.  Each appraiser shall
determine a single point estimate of FMV, not a range of values.  Only qualified real estate appraisers with at
least five years’ prior experience in the valuation of properties comparable to
the Property in the area in which such Property is located, and that do not
have any financial interest in any entities affiliated with the Members
(excluding any existing or prior agreement or contractual

 

4

 

arrangement to
provide advisory or appraisal services to any such Members or any affiliates
thereof), may be validly appointed to serve as an appraiser hereunder.  Subject to Section 3.1(f), each of
Optionor and Kite Realty shall pay all fees and costs of the appraiser
designated by it and one-half of all fess and costs of the Third Appraiser, if
any.

 

(b)                                 On
the Closing Date, the Acquisition Consideration shall be payable by Kite
Realty, subject to Section 3.1(b)(i), first through the assumption of all
outstanding Property Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the payment
of any applicable prepayment, assumption or other fees, costs and penalties)
or, if Kite Realty so elects, the repayment thereof, and second, with respect
to any remaining unsatisfied portion of the Acquisition Consideration, in the
form of units of limited partnership interest in Kite Realty (“Units”) or cash,
in the sole and absolute discretion of Kite Realty.  For purposes of this Section 3.1(b),
subject to Section 3.1(b)(i), the value of outstanding Property
Indebtedness assumed by Kite Realty shall be the principal amount thereof and
any accrued and unpaid interest, plus any related prepayment, assumption and
other fees, costs and penalties incurred by Kite Realty in connection with Kite
Realty’s assumption or repayment of such Property Indebtedness.  The value of Units shall be their “Market
Value” as defined in Section 3.1(b)(ii), and the number of Units shall be
rounded to the nearest whole number of Units to avoid the issuance of
fractional Units.

 

(i)                                     “Property
Indebtedness” shall mean (A) any outstanding financings or other
arrangements entered into by Optionor (or any affiliate of Optionor) prior to
the date hereof which relate to the Property or the Portion (as applicable)
(the “Existing Financings”), and (B) any outstanding financings, or other
arrangements entered into by Optionor (or any affiliate of Optionor) after the
date hereof which relate to the Property or the Portion (as applicable),
including, without limitation, any mezzanine or bridge financing, or amendments
or extensions of the Existing Financings (the “New Financings”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, “Property Indebtedness” shall not include any Existing
Financings or New Financings to the extent that the aggregate of all Existing
Financings and New Financings (plus accrued and unpaid interest and any related
prepayment, assumption or other fees, costs and penalties) exceed the
Acquisition Consideration. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, “Property
Indebtedness” for purposes of a transfer of a Portion shall include the
outstanding balance (including, without limitation, all applicable prepayment,
assumption or other fees, costs and penalties) of all Existing Financings and
New Financings which, by their terms or as may otherwise be required by the
lenders thereunder, must be assumed, prepaid or repaid upon a transfer of such
Portion by Optionor as contemplated by this Agreement.  Any financings or other arrangements relating
to the Property in excess of the amount of the Acquisition Consideration shall
be the responsibility of Optionor and shall be prepaid or repaid at or prior to
the Closing Date.  Optionor shall provide
Kite Realty with notice of any known default under any of the Existing
Financings or New Financings and shall provide copies of any written default
notices Optionor may receive from the lenders of such financings.

 

(ii)                                  The
term “Market Value” shall mean the average closing price of the common shares
of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of the REIT (or any
successor thereto) (“Common Shares”) for the 10 consecutive trading days
immediately preceding (but not including) the Closing Date.  For purposes of determining

 

5

 

Market Value, one
Unit shall equal one Common Share, subject to any adjustments required under
the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Kite Realty, as
may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Partnership Agreement”),
or to reflect stock splits, reclassifications, dividends in-kind and the like.

 

(c)                                  On
the Closing Date, all reserves held by or on behalf of Optionor as required by
applicable lenders or otherwise with respect to the Property or the Portion (as
applicable) shall either be (i) retained by or returned to Optionor, or
(ii) transferred to Kite Realty in which event a credit shall be applied
to increase the Acquisition Consideration by the amount of such transferred
reserves.

 

(d)                                 In
exercising the Option, Kite Realty will use reasonable commercial efforts to
cooperate with Optionor and the Members to minimize any taxes, fees or
prepayment penalties payable in connection with such exercise or the assumption
or repayment of indebtedness relating to the Property; provided that, except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, such cooperation shall not require Kite
Realty to unreasonably delay the Closing Date or require Kite Realty to assume
additional liabilities or incur any material amount of out-of-pocket expenses.

 

(e)                                  Pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement, Units are exchangeable into Common Shares.  It is currently anticipated that such Common
Shares will be entitled to certain registration rights consistent with the
REIT’s practice at the time such Units are issued and subject to any
restrictions or agreements affecting such rights to which the REIT or Kite
Realty is bound.

 

(f)                                    Kite Realty may decide at any time after
delivery of an Exercise Notice, but before the Closing Date, not to proceed
with the acquisition of the Property or the Portion (as applicable) as
specified in the Exercise Notice; provided, that if Kite Realty revokes such
Exercise Notice following the date on which the Second Appraiser is appointed
pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii), Kite Realty shall bear all of the costs
and expenses of the appraisers incurred up to the date on which Kite Realty
notifies Optionor and such appraisers of such revocation; and, provided
further, that if a final FMV determination is made in accordance with
Section 3.1 prior to Kite Realty’s revocation of such Exercise Notice,
such FMV determination shall be deemed to constitute the FMV of the Property or
Portion (as applicable) for purposes of subsequent exercises of the Option for
a period of six months following the date of such revocation; it being understood that any such decision
not to proceed shall not result in the termination of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Option).

 

3.2                                 Acquisition
Documentation.  On or prior to the
Closing Date (subject to Section 3.1(f)), Optionor and Kite Realty shall
acknowledge, execute, deliver and/or file (as the case may be) the closing
documentation described on Exhibit C hereto (the “Closing
Documentation”).  Optionor and Kite
Realty shall thereafter additionally acknowledge, execute, deliver and/or file
(as the case may be) any and all other documents, agreements or instruments
reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the acquisition, transfer and
conveyance of the Property (or a Portion, as applicable) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

 

6

 

3.3                                 Withholding.  Optionor shall execute upon the conveyance of
the Property or any Portion (as applicable) such certificates or affidavits
reasonably necessary to document the inapplicability of any federal or state
tax withholding provisions, including, without limitation, those referred to in
Section 7.4 below.  If Optionor
fails to provide such certificates or affidavits, Kite Realty may withhold a
portion of the Acquisition Consideration as required by the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or applicable state law.

 

3.4                                 Taxes.  If the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are consummated, then the following shall apply:

 

(a)                                  Acquisition
is Treated as Contribution.  If the
Acquisition Consideration consists in whole or in part of Units, the transfer,
assignment and exchange contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a
“Capital Contribution” to Kite Realty pursuant to Article IV of the
Partnership Agreement and is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of
the Code, and the parties agree to report this transaction consistent with such
treatment.

 

(b)                                 Cooperation
and Tax Disputes.  Optionor and the
Members, on the one hand, and Kite Realty, on the other hand, shall provide
each other with such cooperation and information relating to the Property or
the Interests as the parties reasonably may request in (i) filing any tax
return, amended tax return or claim for tax refund, (ii) determining any
liability for taxes or a right to a tax refund or (iii) conducting or defending
any proceeding in respect of taxes.  Any
time after the date hereof, Kite Realty shall promptly notify Optionor or the
Members, as applicable, in writing upon receipt by Kite Realty or any of its
affiliates of notice of (i) any pending or threatened tax audits or
assessments with respect to the Property or the Interests and (ii) any
pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or
assessments of Kite Realty or any of its affiliates, in each case which may
affect the liabilities for taxes of Optionor or any of the Members with respect
to any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date.  Optionor and each Member shall promptly
notify Kite Realty in writing upon receipt by Optionor or such Member, as the
case may be, of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or
foreign tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or
operations of the Property or any of the Interests.  Each of Kite Realty, on the one hand, and
Optionor and/or the Members, on the other hand, may participate at its own
expense in the prosecution of any claim or audit with respect to taxes
attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date,
provided, that Optionor and/or the Members shall collectively have the right to
control the conduct of any such audit or proceeding or portion thereof for
which Optionor and/or such Members, as the case may be, have acknowledged
liability (except as a partner of Kite Realty) for the payment of any
additional tax liability, and Kite Realty shall have the right to control any
other audits and proceedings. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Kite Realty, on the one hand, nor
Optionor and/or the Members, on the other hand, may settle or otherwise resolve
any such claim, suit or proceeding which could have an adverse tax effect on
the other party or its direct or indirect owners without the written consent of
the other party, such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  Each party shall retain all tax
returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other
documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations
(and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the
taxable

 

7

 

years to which
such tax returns and other documents relate and until the final determination
of any tax in respect of such years.

 

(c)                                  Tax
Allocations.  With respect to the
Property or a Portion (as applicable) that is directly or indirectly
contributed to Kite Realty as provided in Section 3.4(a) above, the
parties agree that Kite Realty shall use the “traditional method”, as described
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b), to make allocations of taxable
income and loss among the partners of Kite Realty.

 

(d)                                 Transfer Taxes.  Kite
Realty shall pay the cost of all documentary transfer taxes arising from the
sale of the Property or a Portion (as applicable) pursuant to the exercise by
Kite Realty of the Option or from the transfer of the Interests pursuant to
Section 5.3.

 

(e)                                  Closing
Costs and Prorations.  Any recording
fees, escrow fees, and other closing costs (except documentary transfer taxes
as provided in Section 3.4(d) above) shall be allocated according to
custom and practice based on the location of the Property or the Portion (as
applicable).  All income and expenses of
the Property or the Portion (as applicable) shall be prorated according to
custom and practice based on the location of the Property or the Portion (as
applicable).

 

(f)                                    Survivability.  This Section 3.4 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for a period of one year from the date of such
termination.

 

ARTICLE IV – RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL

 

4.1                                 Right
of First Refusal.   If Optionor
receives a bona fide, good faith offer from an unaffiliated third party to
purchase the entire Property (the “Offer”) at any time during the term of this
Agreement, then, subject only to Kite Realty’s right of first refusal contained
in this Article IV, Optionor shall have the right to convey the entire
Property to such third party during the term of this Agreement.  If Optionor desires to accept the Offer,
Optionor shall first give written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) thereof to Kite
Realty (the date the ROFR Notice is delivered by Kite Realty in accordance with
this Agreement is referred to as the “Notice Date”), which ROFR Notice shall
include the proposed purchase price (the “Purchase Price”), the identity of the
proposed transferee (the “Transferee”) and other material terms (collectively,
the “Acquisition Terms”) of the proposed transfer of the Property.  Kite Realty shall have 30 days from the
Notice Date either (i) to deliver written notice to Optionor (the “OP Notice”)
of its election to acquire the entire Property for the same Purchase Price
(payable in cash or Units, in Kite Realty’s sole and absolute discretion) and
otherwise on substantially the same Acquisition Terms as set forth in the
Offer, or (ii) if the Option is then exercisable pursuant to
Section 1.2 hereof, to deliver an Exercise Notice pursuant to the exercise
of its Option under Section 2.1; it being understood that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Kite Realty shall only be entitled
to exercise the Option as to the entire Property in such circumstance.  For
purposes of this Agreement, an “unaffiliated third party” shall mean, with
respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly not controlling,
not controlled by or not under common control with such Person.  For purposes of this definition, “control,”
when used with respect to any Person, shall mean the power to direct the
management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through
the ownership of voting securities, by

 

8

 

contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled”
have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 
“Person” shall mean a natural person, partnership (whether general or
limited), trust, estate, association, corporation, limited liability company,
unincorporated organization, custodian, nominee or any other individual or
entity in its own or any representative capacity.

 

4.2                                 Acquisition
Process.   If Kite Realty timely
delivers an Exercise Notice following receipt of a ROFR Notice, subject to
Section 4.1, the provisions of Article III shall govern the
acquisition of the Property.  If Kite
Realty timely delivers an OP Notice following receipt of a ROFR Notice, subject
to Section 4.1, the provisions of Article III (excluding
Section 3.1(a)) shall govern the acquisition of the Property to the extent
not inconsistent with the Acquisition Terms; it being understood that if the
Purchase Price is paid in Units, the value of Units shall be their Market Value
as defined in Section 3.1(b)(ii).

 

4.3                                 Failure
to Timely Exercise Right.   If Kite
Realty fails to timely submit an Exercise Notice or OP Notice following receipt
of a ROFR Notice, Kite Realty’s rights under this Agreement with respect to the
Property shall expire and be of no further force or effect; provided, however,
that such rights shall be revived and reinstated in favor of Kite Realty in the
event Optionor does not consummate the transaction with the Transferee on terms
which are generally as good or more favorable to Optionor than the Acquisition
Terms within 90 days following the Notice Date.

 

ARTICLE V –  ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS

 

5.1                                 Permitted
Activities by Optionor; Property Management and Development.   Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
Optionor has the right to own, entitle, finance, operate, lease, encumber,
develop and maintain the Property during the term of this Agreement; provided
that during the term of the Management Agreement and the Development Agreement
(as applicable), all such activities shall be conducted by or through the
Manager and Developer, respectively, in accordance with the Management
Agreement and the Development Agreement.

 

5.2                                 Marketing

the Members agree not to (i) affirmatively market the Property (or any Portion
thereof) for sale during the Option Term, or (ii) sell, convey or otherwise
transfer, or agree to sell, convey or otherwise transfer, all or any portion of
the Property, other than the sale of the entire Property (or a Portion thereof)
pursuant to Kite Realty’s exercise of the Option or the sale of the entire
Property in accordance with Article IV hereof.

 

5.3                                 Alternative
Transaction – Interest Acquisition.

 

(a)                                  Consent
to Alternative Transaction.  Optionor
and the Members acknowledge and understand that Kite Realty may desire to
effectuate a transfer of the Property, other than through the direct
acquisition of the Property as contemplated hereby, and that Kite Realty may
determine that it is more desirable or appropriate to accomplish the transfer
of the Property through the acquisition of 100% of the Interests (the “Interest
Acquisition”).  Optionor and the Members
hereby consent to the Interest Acquisition, and agree to cooperate with Kite
Realty; provided, that the Members receive, in the aggregate, the amount of
cash or number of Units to which Optionor would be

 

9

 

entitled under
Section 3.1 upon the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement; it
being understood that the form of consideration shall be determined in the sole
and absolute discretion of Kite Realty.

 

(b)                                 Acquisition
Process.  In the event that Kite
Realty elects to accomplish the transfer of the Property through the Interest
Acquisition: (i) the Exercise Notice shall specify that Kite Realty elects to
effectuate the Interest Acquisition pursuant to this Section 5.3; (ii)
subject to this Section 5.3, the provisions of Article III shall
govern the Interest Acquisition; (iii) the purchase price to be paid by Kite
Realty for the Interests shall be equal to the Acquisition Consideration for
the Property as calculated in accordance with Section 3.1, with each
Member entitled to receive such Member’s pro rata share of such Acquisition
Consideration based on such Member’s percentage interest in Optionor (as set
forth in Exhibit B); (iv) subject to Section 3.1(f), the Interests
shall be conveyed, and the Closing Date of such acquisition shall occur, within
the later of (a) 15 days after the last day of the month immediately following the
month in which the Exercise Notice is delivered or (b) 45 days after the
determination of the FMV of the Property (or a Portion, as applicable) at the
time in accordance with Section 3.1; and (v) on or prior to the Closing
Date, subject to Section 3.1(f), the Members and Kite Realty shall execute
and deliver the closing documentation described on Exhibit D hereto
regarding the Interest Acquisition, and, thereafter, the Members and Kite
Realty shall additionally acknowledge, execute, deliver and/or file (as the
case may be) any and all other documents, agreements or instruments reasonably
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Interest Acquisition in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

 

5.4                                 Further
Assurance.   Each Member shall
execute and deliver to Kite Realty all such other and further instruments and
documents and take or cause to be taken all such other and further actions as
Kite Realty may reasonably request in order to effect the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, instruments or
documents deemed necessary or desirable by Kite Realty to effect and evidence
the Interest Acquisition in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

5.5                                 Consent
to Other Approvals.   Each Member
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such Member shall constitute the consent, waiver or approval by
such Member and by Optionor, pursuant to applicable law or Optionor’s
organizational documents or other agreements, to the transactions contemplated
hereby, including, without limitation, the Interest Acquisition.  For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the
consent, waiver or approval of a Member or Optionor is required to effectuate
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Member or Optionor
shall be deemed to have given such consent, waiver or approval pursuant hereto.

 

5.6                                 Obligation to Sell the Property or the
Interests.   Optionor and the Members hereby acknowledge
and agree that, if Kite Realty does not exercise the Option and/or the Property
is not transferred in accordance with Article IV prior to the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, Optionor and the Members
shall use their reasonable best efforts to sell, convey or otherwise transferas promptly as reasonably practicablethe
entire Property or 100% of the Interests to an unaffiliated third party.

 

10

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5.6
shall survive any termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

6.1                                 Termination
of this Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect upon the earlier to occur of:

 

(a)                                  the

(c)                                  the
fourth anniversary of the date of commencement of construction of the planned
development on the Property; it being understood that, if on or prior to the
date of such expiration: (i) Kite Realty has properly delivered an Exercise
Notice or OP Notice, this Agreement shall remain in effect for purposes of
effectuating the acquisition of the Property or a Portion thereof (as
applicable) or the Interests pursuant to such Exercise Notice or OP Notice, or
(ii) Optionor has received an Offer for which a ROFR Notice has not yet been
delivered by Kite Realty, or less than 30 days was elapsed since the date of
the receipt by Kite Realty of the ROFR Notice, this Agreement shall remain in
effect for purposes of permitting Kite Realty to exercise its rights under
Article IV hereof and purchase the Property or the Interests.

 

6.2                                 Procedure
if Option Terminates.

 

(a)                                  Notice
of Termination.  If this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 6.1(b) prior to the expiration of the
Option Term, Optionor and the Members will provide notice of such termination
to Kite Realty (the “Option Termination Notice”).  The delivery of the Option Termination Notice
shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such termination.

 

(b)                                 Verification
of Termination.  Upon receipt of the
Option Termination Notice, Kite Realty agrees that, if this Agreement is

and deliver to Optionor in recordable form with appropriate authorization for
recording, within 10 days from request therefore, a quitclaim deed or any other
document reasonably requested by Optionor or a title insurance company to
verify the termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Option.

 

(c)                                  Right
to Documents.  Upon receipt of the
Option Termination Notice, Kite Realty shall forthwith deliver (or cause to be

Agreement or any other continuing agreement between Kite Realty, on the one
hand, and Optionor or the Members, on the other hand).

 

6.3                                 Effects
of Termination.  In the event of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1, the provisions of
Sections 3.4, 5.6, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 and Articles VIII and IX shall survive the
termination of this Agreement; it being understood that, with respect to
termination pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the provisions of this Agreement
that contemplate performance after the Closing Date and the obligations of the
parties not fully performed on the Closing Date shall survive the Closing Date
and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments executed
as of the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to release any
party from liability for any breach by such party of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to enforce its respective
rights hereunder.

7.5                                 No
Brokers.  Neither Optionor nor any of
the Members has entered into, and covenants that it or he will not enter into,
any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or firm which will
result in the obligation of Kite Realty to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage
commission or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

7.6                                 Assets.  The Property is the sole asset of Optionor

ARTICLE VIII – INDEMNIFICATION

 

Optionor and each Member,
severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify Kite Realty, its affiliates and
their respective trustees, directors, officers, members, partners, employees,
agents, successors and assigns (the “Indemnitees”) in respect of, and hold the
Indemnitees harmless against, any and all liabilities (whether absolute or
contingent, known or unknown or accrued or unaccrued), damages, judgments,
fines, fees, penalties, obligations, deficiencies, losses and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and
accountants and including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement)
(“Damages”) actually incurred or suffered by any Indemnitee, and to reimburse
each Indemnitee for such Damages which are suffered or incurred by such
Indemnitee or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject, arising
out of or resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any
representation or warrant of Optionor or any of the Members contained in this
Agreement, or any breach, non-fulfillment or failure to perform any agreement
or covenant of Optionor or any of the Members contained in this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE IX – ASSIGNMENT;
TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

 

9.1                                 Kite
Realty’s Right to Assignment.   Kite
Realty may not assign the Option or the right of first refusal granted pursuant
to Article IV hereby without Optionor’s prior written consent, which
consent may be conditioned, withheld or delayed in Optionor’s sole and absolute
discretion; provided, that Kite Realty may assign the Option or the right of
first refusal granted pursuant to Article IV hereby without Optionor’s
consent to (i) the REIT, (ii) any direct or indirect controlled
affiliate of the REIT or Kite Realty or (iii) any entity into which Kite
Realty has merged or otherwise is the result of a business combination directly
involving Kite Realty.

 

9.2                                 Optionor’s
Right to Assignment.   Optionor may
not assign its interests in this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Kite
Realty’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned, withheld or
delayed in Kite Realty’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

9.3                                 Transfer
of Interests.  A Member may Transfer
(as defined below) all or any portion of such Member’s Interest by complying
with the provisions of this Section 9.3. 
If a proposed Transfer would result in a “Change of Control” (as defined
below), then such Member shall provide written notice of such Transfer to Kite
Realty at least 30 days prior to the proposed Transfer (the “Transfer
Notice”).  For purposes of this
Section 9.3: (a) ”Transfer” shall include any sale, assignment, gift,
pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange, or other disposition, other than a
pledge, mortgage, or hypothecation of or granting of a security interest in, an
Interest in connection with any Existing Financings or New Financings; and (b)
“Change of Control” shall mean (i) the Transfer of more than 50% of the
voting ownership interests in Optionor or (ii) if there is no voting ownership
interest, the Transfer of more than 50% of the equity ownership interests in
Optionor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no purported Transfer of all or any portion of an Interest (whether or not such
Transfer would result in a Change of Control) shall be effective unless and
until the transferee becomes a party to this Agreement and bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement as a “Member” (regardless of whether or not
such transferee is

 

14

 

admitted as a
member of Optionor) by executing and delivering a counterpart signature page to
this Agreement to Kite Realty.  Any
purported transfer of an Interest in violation of this Section 9.3 shall
be null and void.

 

ARTICLE X – MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1                           Amendment;
Waiver.  This Agreement may not be

10.2                           Entire
Agreement; Counterparts; Applicable Law. 
This Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, (b) may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of
which, including, without limitation, validity, interpretation and effect,

effect, by the laws of the State of Indiana without giving effect to the
conflict of law provisions thereof.

 

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

 

10.4                           Binding
Effect.  This Agreement shall be

parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

 

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

 

10.6                           Notices.  Any notice or demand which must or may be
given under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exercise Notice,
the OP Notice, the ROFR Notice, the Transfer Notice and the Option Termination
Notice) or by law shall, except as otherwise provided, be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been delivered (i) when physically received by personal
delivery (which shall include the confirmed receipt of a telecopied facsimile
transmission), or (ii) three business days after being deposited in the

 

15

 

United States
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or
(iii) one business day after being deposited with a nationally known
commercial courier service providing next day delivery service (such as Federal
Express).

 

10.7                           Recording.  Subject to applicable consents required under
any financing related to the Property, Kite Realty shall have the right to

county in which the Property is situated. 
If Kite Realty records such a memorandum, Kite Realty covenants and
agrees to record the appropriate notice of termination or cancellation upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and
expenses.

 

10.9                           Reliance.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and
agrees that it is not relying on tax advice or other advice from the other
party to this Agreement, and that it has or will consult with its own advisors.
