(ii)                                  Organizational Expense Capital Calls.  The Partnership shall pay the organizational Expenses of the Partnership (collectively, “Organizational Expenses”), as more particularly set forth and subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.6.  Upon the incurrence of Organizational Expenses as described in Section 6.6, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a Capital Call during the Investment Period for sufficient funds to enable the Partnership to pay such Organizational Expenses.  The amount of each Limited Partner’s Additional Capital Contribution to be made in response to such a Capital Call (collectively, the “Organizational Expenses Capital Contributions”) shall be included in the calculation of the Inland Maximum Capital Contributions and the PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Capital Contributions, as the case may be, as set forth in Section 6.3(f).

 

(iii)                               Shortfall Expense Capital Calls.  At any time during the Term, the General Partner shall also make Capital Calls for the following purposes (the amounts specified in any such Capital Call, hereinafter referred to collectively as “Shortfall Expenses”):

 

(A)                              Operating Shortfall Capital Calls.  If the anticipated aggregate Receipts of the Property Entities during any 90-day period and the available funds of the Property Entities during such time (including any Reserves, but only for the purpose for which the applicable Reserve is maintained and including loan proceeds, but only to the extent said borrowing has been approved by the Limited Partners), are less than the Expenses of the Partnership (including, for the avoidance of doubt, funds to be used for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.4 or 9.7) and or Property Entities anticipated to be incurred during said 90-day period pursuant to the then-current annual Business Plan, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a Capital Call in the amount of the shortfall (the “Operating Shortfall”).
 
(B)                                Refinancing Shortfall Capital Calls.  If at any time there is (or is projected to be) a “Refinancing Shortfall” (as such term is hereinafter defined), the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a Capital Call in the amount of the Refinancing Shortfall.  As employed herein, the term “Refinancing Shortfall” means the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of any Financing (including the costs and expenses of obtaining said Financing) incurred for the purpose of repaying any other Financing upon the maturity of said Financing, is less than the amount required to pay off said Financing in full at such time.

 



 

(iv)                              Protective Expenditure Capital Calls.  If at any time during the Term, after paying all Expenses in accordance with the then-current annual Business Plan, the Partnership lacks sufficient funds to make Protective Expenditures, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a Capital Call in the amount of such Protective Expenditures (the “Protective Expenditures”).
 

The amount of each Limited Partner’s Additional Capital Contribution to be made in response to a Capital Call described in Sections 6.3(a)(i), 6.3(c)(i) and (ii) shall be included in the calculation of the Inland Maximum Capital Contributions, the Inland Maximum Additional Capital Contribution, the PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Capital Contribution, and the PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Additional Capital Contribution, and the Capital Calls for Shortfall Expenses and Protective Expenditures, as the case may be, shall be included in the calculations of the Inland Maximum Capital Contributions, Inland Maximum Shortfall/Protective Capital Contributions, the PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Capital Contributions, and the PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Shortfall/Protective Capital Contributions.

 

(d)                                 Determination of Amount of Additional Capital Contributions.  Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Capital Call from the General Partner under this Section 6.3, the Limited Partners shall make the Additional Capital Contributions.  When determining the amount of Additional Capital Contributions required to be made in response to a Capital Call, Inland shall contribute 55% and PGGM PRE Fund shall contribute 45% of the Transfer Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Shortfall Expenses or Protective Expenditures set forth in such Capital Call; provided however, that the remaining balance of PIC Funds (as hereafter defined) shall be treated as funds that are available for payment of Inland’s pro-rata share of the Transfer Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Shortfall Expenses or Protective Expenditures, to the extent of such remaining balance.  See illustrations below:

 

(i)                     Illustration 1.  The Partnership requires $100 for Transfer Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Shortfall Expenses or Protective Expenditures when there is $49 of PIC Funds. Inland will be required to make an Additional Capital Contribution in the amount of $55, and $49 of PIC Funds may be used to satisfy such Additional Capital Contribution, reducing the balance of the PIC Funds to $0.  If the PIC Funds are utilized, Inland will contribute an additional $6 to complete its Additional Capital Contribution.  PGGM PRE Fund will contribute $45 as its Additional Capital Contribution in response to such Capital Call.

 

(ii)                  Illustration 2.  The Partnership requires $30 for Transfer Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Shortfall Expenses or Protective Expenditures when there is $49 of PIC Funds. Inland will be required to make an

 



 

Additional Capital Contribution in the amount of $16.50, and a portion of the PIC Funds up to Inland’s Additional Capital Contribution may be used to satisfy same, reducing the balance of the PIC Funds to $32.50.  PGGM PRE Fund will contribute $13.50 as its Additional Capital Contribution in response to such Capital Call.

 

(e)                                  Capital Call by Limited Partner.  If the General Partner fails to cause the Partnership to make a Capital Call when required or authorized to do so pursuant to Section 6.3(c), above, or upon the approval of a Major Decision by the Limited Partners, and said failure shall continue for ten (10) Business Days or more following written notice to the General Partner from any Limited Partner, any Limited Partner shall have the right to cause the Partnership to make the Capital Call in question.

 

(f)                                    Limitation on Capital Calls.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or this Section 6.3 to the contrary, in no event shall Inland and PGGM PRE Fund be required to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership in excess of the amounts described below in this Section 6.3(f), provided however, such Contributions may be increased pro rata in accordance with Percentage Interests by approval of the Limited Partners as a Major Decision.

 

(i)                                     In no event shall PGGM PRE Fund be required to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership

 

(A)                              for any reason, in excess of $130,000,000 (the “PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Capital Contributions”);

 

(B)                                for Organizational Expenses, in excess of $303,750 (the “PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Organizational Capital Contributions”);

 

(C)                                for Acquisition Additional Capital Contributions in excess of $125,000,000 less the PGGM PRE Fund Initial Capital Contribution (the “PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Acquisition Additional Capital Contributions”); or

 

(D)                               for the aggregate of Shortfall Expenses and Protective Expenditures, in excess of the lesser of (y) $5,000,000 or (z) the amount of PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Capital Contributions less the sum of the PGGM PRE Fund Initial Capital Contributions, Organizational Expenses Capital Contributions and Acquisition Additional Capital Contributions made by PGGM PRE Fund (the “PGGM PRE Fund Maximum Shortfall/Protective Capital Contributions”);

 

(ii)                                  In no event shall Inland be required to make Capital Contribution to the Partnership:

 



 

(A)          for any reason, in excess of $158,888,889 (the “Inland Maximum Capital Contributions”);

 

(B)           for Organizational Expenses, in excess of $371,250 (the “Inland Maximum Organizational Capital Contributions”);

 

(C)           for Acquisition Additional Capital Contributions in excess of  $152,777,778 less the Inland Initial Capital Contribution (the “Inland Maximum Acquisition Additional Capital Contributions”); or

 

(D)          for the aggregate of Shortfall Expenses and Protective Expenditures, in excess of the lesser of (y) $6,111,111 or (z) the amount of Inland Maximum Capital Contributions less the sum of the Inland Initial Capital Contributions, Organizational Expenses Capital Contributions, and Acquisition Additional Capital Contributions made by Inland (the “Inland Maximum Shortfall/Protective Capital Contributions”)

 

6.4           Failure to Contribute Capital.

 

(a)           Failure to Contribute.  If a Limited Partner (the “Defaulting Partner”) fails to make such Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution within the time period prescribed in the applicable Contribution Agreement or as provided in this Agreement (i.e., in response to a Capital Call), and the other Limited Partner (the “Non-Defaulting Partner”) has made its Capital Contribution in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Contribution Agreement, the General Partner shall so inform the Defaulting Partner and the Non-Defaulting Partner within twenty (20) Business Days, and, subject to the limitations provided below, the Non-Defaulting Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to:

 

(i)       Withdraw the Capital Contribution (if the Partnership is capable of refunding such Capital Contribution) it made when the Defaulting Partner failed to make its Capital Contribution, in which event the Non-Defaulting Partner shall have no liability for failure to contribute such Capital Contribution, or designate any portion of the Capital Contribution the Non-Defaulting Partner has not withdrawn as an advance to the Partnership as a Partnership Loan; and / or

 

(ii)      elect to pay all or any portion of the amount due from the Defaulting Partner (the “Deficiency Amount”) to the Partnership (a “Default Contribution”), which amount may be designated by the Non-Defaulting Partner as (A) an advance directly to the Partnership as a Partnership Loan (as defined in Section 6.4(c)), or (B) designate such amount as part Capital Contribution and part Partnership Loan, in such proportion as is designated by the Non-Defaulting Partner.

 



 

These provisions shall be applicable each time that a Limited Partner shall fail to contribute a Capital Contribution as required in this Agreement and the applicable Contribution Agreement.  The Non-Defaulting Partner shall elect which of the foregoing remedies it will pursue and, if it so chooses, advance to the Partnership the Deficiency Amount, within twenty (20) days of receipt of the notice by the General Partner of the Defaulting Partner’s failure to make its Capital Contribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, PGGM PRE Fund may not elect to treat a Default Contribution as a Capital Contribution, if, after the application of Section 6.4(b), PGGM PRE Fund’s Percentage Interest in the Partnership would exceed 49%.

 

(b)           Effect on Percentage Interests and Capital Accounts.  If there is a Deficiency Amount as a result of the failure of a Defaulting Partner to make a Capital Contribution, and a Limited Partner makes a Default Contribution of all or any portion of the Deficiency Amount as a Capital Contribution for its own account pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(ii), then, effective from the date on which the Limited Partner makes any such Capital Contribution, the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Partner immediately prior thereto shall be reduced (but not below 0%) by the number of percentage points equivalent to the fraction (the “Dilution Fraction”) obtained by dividing (i) 100% of the applicable Deficiency Amount by (ii) the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions made by all of the Partners (including any Default Contribution treated as a Capital Contribution), and concomitantly, the Percentage Interest of the Non-Defaulting Partner (calculated after adjusting for any Capital Contributions made with respect to the Capital Call resulting in the Deficiency Amount) shall be increased by the same number of percentage points.  By way of example, suppose that all Partners had previously funded an aggregate of $100 in Capital Contributions, that a Capital Call for $100 in additional Capital Contributions is made, and that PGGM PRE Fund fails to contribute its share ($45) of said additional Capital Contributions.  If Inland elects to make a Capital Contribution of $55 and a Default Contribution treated as a Capital Contribution under Section 6.4(a)(ii) in the amount of PGGM PRE Fund’s Deficiency Amount (i.e., $45), then the Dilution Fraction would be equal to $45 (100% of the Deficiency Amount) divided by $200, or 0.225.  Thus, the Percentage Interest of PGGM PRE Fund would be reduced by 22.5 percentage points and the Percentage Interest of Inland would be increased by 22.5 percentage points.

 

(c)           Partnership Loan.  If the Non-Defaulting Partner shall elect to make a loan to the Partnership as provided in Section 6.4(a) above which the Partnership is liable for the repayment thereof, such loan shall be referred to as a “Partnership Loan.  Partnership Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  Interest expense incurred on any Partnership Loan shall be treated as an obligation and expense of the Partnership.  Payments on the Partnership Loans shall be made in equal monthly installments of principal and interest calculated as the Partnership Loan amount amortized over the balance of the Maximum Term (as of the date of the making of such Partnership Loan) at the rate set forth herein, provided that the balance thereof together with any accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due if the Partnership is terminated prior to the

 



 

expiration of the Maximum Term (subject to funds being available from the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership).  All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.

 

(d)           Acknowledgement and Agreement.  Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that the other Limited Partner would not be entering into this Agreement were it not for (i) the Limited Partners agreeing to make the Capital Contributions provided for in this ARTICLE 6, and (ii) the provisions of this ARTICLE 6 that describe the consequences of being a Defaulting Partner (the “Remedy Provisions”).  Each Limited Partner acknowledges and agrees that in the event a Limited Partner fails to make its Capital Contributions pursuant to this Agreement, the other Limited Partner will suffer substantial damages and the Remedy Provisions are fair, just and equitable in all respects.  Although it is the intent of the Limited Partners that the Remedy Provisions will be fully effective without the execution of any documents or instruments by the Defaulting Partner in connection therewith, each Defaulting Partner hereby agrees that in the event the Non-Defaulting Partner exercises any of the Remedy Provisions, the Defaulting Partner shall execute and deliver such conveyances, agreements, notes, instruments or other documents which may be reasonably necessary in the judgment of the Non-Defaulting Partner to confirm and render fully effective the Remedy Provisions, including, but not limited to, any amendments to this Agreement and to the Certificate of the Partnership.

 

6.5           PIC Funds. The General Partner shall cause the PGGM PRE Fund Capital Contributions made in connection with (a) the contribution of the Initial Inland Properties or (b) the contribution of any Additional Inland Properties, in either event as and when contributed to the Partnership, less 45% of the Transfer Expenses payable by the Partnership in connection with such contribution (collectively, the “PIC Funds”), to be invested in interest bearing investments pending the use thereof for Transfer Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Shortfall Expenses or Protective Expenditures.  The General Partner shall have sole discretion to determine the nature of such interest bearing investments.  For book and tax purposes, interest earnings on the PIC Funds shall be allocable 95% to Inland and 5% to PGGM PRE Fund.  All interest earnings on the PIC Funds shall not be considered additional PIC Funds and shall instead be distributed to Inland and PGGM PRE Fund in accordance with Section 8.5(a).  The General Partner shall apply and adjust the balance of the PIC Funds in accordance with Section 6.3(d) and this Section 6.5. The balance of the PIC Funds from time to time shall be reduced to pay (a) amounts distributed to Inland under Section 8.4 (including under Section 8.5(b)(i) by reason of Section 8.4(a)), and (b) the Transfer Expenses, Acquisition Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Shortfall Expenses or Protective Expenditures paid from PIC Funds on behalf of Inland pursuant to Section 6.3(d), (c) amounts applied pursuant to the proviso in Section 8.4(b) to satisfy Inland’s cash contribution obligations under Section 13.4, and (d) all investment losses incurred in connection with the temporary investment of the PIC Funds.  It is expressly understood that the amount of any Additional Capital Contribution by PGGM PRE Fund made in connection with the acquisition of any Additional Property shall in no circumstances constitute PIC Funds, even if (x) said Additional Capital Contribution is made

 



 

prior to the contribution of the Inland Equity Interests relating to the Inland Properties, and (y) all Inland Equity Interests in one or more of the Property Entities owning Inland Properties are never contributed to the Partnership.

 

6.6           Organizational Expenses.  Each Partner will bear its own legal, due diligence and other expenses associated with the organization and establishment of the Partnership except as follows:

 

(a)           Establishment of Partnership; Qualification of REIT Entities.  Expenses, not to exceed $675,000, associated with the establishment of the Partnership and of the qualification, as necessary, of the REIT Entities as Domestically Controlled REITs, as well as any expenses associated with the contribution of the Inland Equity Interests relating to the Inland Properties will be paid by the Partnership;

 

(b)           PGGM PRE Fund’s Legal Expenses.  PGGM PRE Fund shall have the right to receive reimbursement from the Partnership up to $200,000 of third party legal expenses associated with negotiating the final organizational documents of the Partnership, including but not limited to this Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement; such amount shall be a part of, and not in addition to the $675,000 limit set forth in Section 6.6(a);

 

(c)           PGGM PRE Fund’s Due Diligence Expenses.  PGGM PRE Fund shall have the right to reimbursement from the Partnership of up to $275,000 of third party legal and business due diligence costs incurred in connection with the Inland Properties and Additional Properties, such amount to be a part of and not in addition to, the $675,000 limit set forth in Section 6.6(a);

 

(d)           Inland’s Legal and Other Expenses.  Inland shall have the right to reimbursement from the Partnership of up to $200,000 of expenses comprised of any of the following: (i) third party legal expenses associated with the drafting and negotiating the organizational documents of the Partnership, including but not limited to this Agreement, (ii) the qualification, as necessary, of the REIT Entities as Domestically Controlled REITs, and (iii) the payment of any commission based fee owed or payable to Inland Institutional Capital Partners or its Affiliate as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in all cases such amounts to be a part of, and not in addition to, the $675,000 limit set forth in Section 6.6(a);

 

(e)           Exceeding Limits.  To the extent legal, due diligence and other expenses associated with the establishment of the Partnership and of the qualification, as necessary, of the REIT Entities as Domestically Controlled REITs, exceed either Partner’s limits as noted above, such expenses shall be for the account of the party exceeding the limit; and

 

(f)            Real Property and Other Transfer Taxes.  All real property and other transfer taxes and costs connected with the Inland Initial Capital Contribution shall be Partnership Expenses, but shall not be subject to the $675,000 overall limit set forth in

 



 

Section 6.6(a), or to individual Limited Partner limits set forth in Sections 6.6(b), (c) and (d), above.

 

6.7           No Other Commitments.  Except as set forth herein or as required by the Act, no Partner shall be assessed for, or shall have the right to make, additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

 

ARTICLE 7

 

Additional Properties to be Acquired; Operation of the Partnership

 

7.1           Additional Properties to be Acquired.

 

(a)           Acquisition of Additional Properties.  During the Investment Period, the Partnership shall seek to acquire additional Properties from non-Affiliate third parties.  The Partnership may consider for acquisition Properties that meet the Investment Guidelines in the Investment Area (each, a “Qualified Property”) and Properties that are not Qualified Properties (each, a “non-Qualified Property”).  Title to any additional Property acquired by the Partnership (each, if acquired by the Partnership, an “Additional Property”) shall be held as described in Section 7.1(f).  Provided that the Exclusive Acquisition Right described in Section 7.1(b) has not terminated as provided therein, Inland will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify Qualified Properties, and may, in its sole discretion, propose the acquisition of a non-Qualified Property.

 

(b)           Exclusive Acquisition Right.  The Partnership, and not the Partners acting on their own behalf, shall have the exclusive right (the “Exclusive Acquisition Right”) to acquire any Qualified Property identified by Inland or the General Partner; provided however that such Exclusive Acquisition Right shall terminate and thereafter Inland shall not be required to present any Property (either Qualified or non-Qualified) for potential acquisition by the Partnership if on three (3) occasions during any twelve (12) consecutive month period any of the following occurs (each a “Qualified Property Rejection”):

 

(i)            PGGM PRE Fund chooses not to consent to the acquisition of a Qualified Property during the Initial Approval Period following the delivery of an Initial Notice (as defined in Section 7.1(c)(ii), below);

 

(ii)           Except as provided in Section 7.1(c)(iv) or 7.1(e), PGGM PRE Fund withdraws its consent to the acquisition of a Property after having given its Initial Approval following the delivery of an Initial Notice; or

 

(iii)          PGGM PRE Fund’s refusal to consent to the acquisition of a Property after (A) the submission of a Disagreement relating to such Property under clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Disagreement” to an arbitrator, and (B) the arbitrator’s determination that the Property meets, or continues to meet the

 



 

Investment Guidelines, or that a Material Adverse Effect or Material Change does not exist, as the case may be.

 

Upon the termination of the Exclusive Acquisition Right, Inland and the General Partner shall no longer be required to propose Qualified Properties to the Partnership for acquisition.

 

(c)           Approval Process.

 

(i)            Initial Identification.  Upon Inland’s or the General Partner’s identification of a Property for potential acquisition by the Partnership, the General Partner shall provide the Limited Partners with a narrative summary of the Property, a description of whether it fits the Partnership’s Investment Guidelines and a brokerage package which shall include general information identifying the Property including location and square footage and any such additional information as is made available to the public by the listing broker with respect to such Property (collectively, the “Brokerage Package”).  The Limited Partners shall have seven (7) Business Days from the receipt of the Brokerage Package to approve the Partnership’s further investigation into the acquisition of the subject Property.  If PGGM PRE Fund rejects the proposed acquisition of the Property, Inland or its Affiliates may acquire such Property with no further obligation to the Partnership or the other Limited Partner.  Inland and the General Partner, as applicable, shall be responsible for its own expenses incurred in identifying Properties to propose to the Partnership for acquisition and the submission of the Brokerage Package.

 

(ii)           Initial Notice. If the Limited Partners consent to Inland’s or the General Partner’s further investigation into the acquisition of a Property pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i), the General Partner or Inland shall obtain such further information as the General Partner reasonably deems material with respect to the consideration of such Property for acquisition, and shall deliver to the Limited Partners a written notice containing such information (the “Initial Notice”); provided however that an Initial Notice shall at a minimum contain:  (A) an acquisition budget relating to the Property, including acquisition price and projected acquisition costs and expenses (an “Acquisition Budget”), (B) a cash flow analysis, (C) demographic information, (D) real property information and location, (E) tenant profile and sales information, (F) any known environmental or title issues related to the Property, (G) expected Capital Contributions with respect to such acquisition and (H) expected capital structure and financing, all in reasonable detail.  Within seven (7) Business Days from the receipt by the Limited Partner of the Initial Notice (“Initial Approval Period”), each Limited Partner shall advise the General Partner in writing of its initial approval or disapproval of the acquisition of the subject Property based upon the Initial Notice; provided, however, that if a Limited Partner fails to provide written approval or disapproval with five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Initial

 



 

Notice, the General Partner shall provide such Limited Partner with a notice containing reminder of the pending Initial Approval Period termination, and provided further that if a Limited Partner fails to provide a written notification within such Initial Approval Period, such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have disapproved of the acquisition of such Property.  Subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 7.1(c)(v), the Partnership shall pay or reimburse the General Partner or Inland for their third party costs incurred in submitting the Initial Notice to the Limited Partners.  PGGM PRE Fund’s disapproval of an acquisition of a Qualified Property as permitted by this Section 7.1(c) shall constitute a Qualified Property Rejection and shall count against the three (3) occasion limit set forth in Section 7.1(b).

 

(iii)          Due Diligence.  After the Limited Partners approve the acquisition of a Property under Section 7.1(c)(ii) (the “Initial Approval”) the General Partner shall engage consultants and professionals at the expense of the Partnership, as appropriate, from lists of consultants and professionals approved by the Limited Partners, to perform legal, business and physical due diligence on behalf of the Partnership, and said consultants and professionals shall permit the Partners to rely on their reports.  In addition, the Partnership and the General Partner shall be authorized to take such actions and incur such reasonable expenses as the General Partner determines to be necessary to control the Property and analyze the investment opportunity, secure governmental approvals and financing commitments with respect to the subject Property and, subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 7.1(c)(v), the Partnership shall pay or reimburse the General Partner or Inland for their third party costs in taking such actions.

 

(iv)          Final Review.  Upon substantial completion of due diligence as deemed necessary or advisable by the General Partner, the General Partner shall deliver to the Limited Partners final review materials setting forth the results of such due diligence investigation regarding the Property that the General Partner deems reasonably material with respect to the consideration of such Property for acquisition (the Board Package”).  Inland makes no representations as to the veracity of the materials or the contents thereof, which shall be submitted to the Limited Partners for information purposes only.  A Limited Partner may, by written notice to the General Partner, withdraw its Initial Approval within three (3) Business Days from receipt of the Board Package if there has been a Material Change (as herein defined) to the terms of the acquisition of the subject Property from the date of the Initial Approval until the delivery of the Board Package or there exists any other fact, circumstance or condition that such Limited Partner reasonably expects to have a Material Adverse Effect on the subject Property including, without limitation, with respect to environmental or title matters.  Withdrawal of PGGM’s Initial Approval of a Qualified Property as permitted by the preceding sentence shall not constitute a Qualified Property

 



 

Rejection and shall not count against the three (3) occasion limit set forth in Section 7.1(b).  For purposes hereof, a “Material Change” shall mean any one or more of the following: (i) an increase to the financing necessary for the acquisition of the Property in excess of ten percent (10%) above the financing described in the Initial Notice; or (ii) an event or circumstance which has or can reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the return on investment with respect to such Property, including without limitation, adverse revisions to the Acquisition Budget or adverse changes in the rent rolls.  If the Limited Partners do not agree as to whether there has been a Material Change or Material Adverse Effect, they may arbitrate such Disagreement pursuant to the terms of Section 10.9.

 

(v)           Consent of the Limited Partners.  In the event that the Limited Partners fail to issue the Initial Approval or Final Approval with respect to any Property within the time period set forth in this Agreement, or if either Inland or PGGM PRE Fund terminates the Partnership’s efforts to acquire a Property by delivering written notice pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1(c)(iv) above or Section 7.1(e) below, the Property shall be deemed rejected by the Partnership and the Partnership shall not acquire the Property, and Inland or any Affiliate of Inland shall be free to acquire the Property for its own account in accordance with the material terms and conditions described in the Initial Notice or Board Package as the case may be.  At such time as the Initial Approval, with respect to a Qualified Property is not given or is withdrawn, the General Partner shall be reimbursed all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in evaluating and controlling such Property, including, but not limited to, all of the ordinary and customary out-of-pocket third-party costs associated with the review and acquisition of such Property and paid to entities that are not Affiliated with either Limited Partner or the General Partner, including, but not limited to, such costs as due diligence, engineering and environmental inspections and reports, outside legal counsel retained by the Partnership, non-refundable earnest money deposits, and legal fees (at or below market rates) paid to any other counsel retained by the Partnership; provided that if Inland or and Inland Affiliate purchases such Property, Inland shall pay or reimburse the Partnership or the General Partner for all such costs and expenses.

 

(d)           Obligation upon Final Approval.  Upon the lapse of the three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Board Package without a Limited Partner having withdrawn its Initial Approval, the Limited Partners shall be deemed to have approved the Property (the “Final Approval”) and the Limited Partners shall be obligated to contribute their share of the Capital Contributions needed to consummate such acquisition, to the extent and in the relative percentages set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 above, and the General Partner shall specify in the applicable Capital Call the conditions and the time when such amounts are due and payable under any letter of intent or agreement of purchase and sale, including, without limitation, the funding of any

(e)           Investment Guidelines.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, other than with respect to a non-Qualifying Property that is the subject of an Initial Approval, if at any time prior to the expiration of any due diligence period under any letter of intent or agreement for purchase and sale with any third party, Inland determines in good faith and in its reasonable discretion that the subject Property no longer satisfies the Investment Guidelines, other than with respect to a non-Qualifying Property that is the subject of an Initial Approval then Inland shall have the unilateral right to terminate the letter of intent or agreement of purchase and sale and the Partnership shall not acquire the Property, notwithstanding any prior approvals or consents to such acquisition which have been provided by the Limited Partners, and if Inland so elects to terminate, shall provide the General Partner with written notice of same.  In such event, the General Partner shall either terminate the letter of intent or agreement for purchase and sale, if any, or in the alternative, with PGGM PRE Fund’s consent, assign such letter of intent or agreement for purchase and sale to Inland or an Affiliate of Inland, and Inland or the Affiliate of Inland shall be free to acquire the subject real property for its own account, in which event Inland shall pay or reimburse the Partnership for all costs and expenses as provided in Section 7.1(c)(v).  Further, if at any time prior to the expiration of any due diligence period under any letter of intent or agreement for purchase and sale with any third party, PGGM PRE Fund determines in good faith and its reasonable discretion that the subject Property no longer satisfies the Investment Guidelines, other than with respect to a non-Qualifying Property that is the subject of an Initial Approval, then PGGM PRE Fund shall have the unilateral right to require the Partnership not to acquire the subject real property, notwithstanding any prior approvals or consents to such acquisition which has been provided by the Limited Partners, and if PGGM PRE Fund so elects to terminate, it shall provide the General Partner with written notice of same.  In such event, the General Partner shall either terminate the letter of intent or agreement for purchase and sale, or in the alternative, assign such letter of intent or agreement for purchase and sale to Inland or an Affiliate of Inland, and the Affiliate of Inland shall be free to acquire the Property for its own account, in which event Inland shall pay or reimburse the Partnership for all costs and expenses as provided in Section 7.1(c)(v).  In the event either Limited Partner terminates the Partnership’s right to acquire a Property as provided in this Section 7.1(e), subject to Section 7.1(c)(v), all third party costs incurred by Inland or the General Partner up to the date of such termination shall be reimbursed by the Partnership within ten (10) days after such termination or ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefore, whichever is later.  Inland’s or PGGM PRE Fund’s termination of the acquisition of a Property that both Limited Partners agree in their reasonable judgment, in writing, no longer meets the Investment Guidelines shall not count against the three (3) Property turn-down limit for termination of the Partnership’s Exclusive Acquisition Right described in Section 7.1(b).  If the Limited Partners are unable to agree as to whether a Property (other than to a non-Qualifying Property that is the subject of an Initial Approval) no longer meets the

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section shall not be deemed to exculpate Inland or the General Partner with respect to any other breach of this Agreement or any other agreement.

 

(h)           Inland Acquisition Fee.  Inland shall be paid an acquisition fee (the “Acquisition Fee”) equal to twenty-five (25) basis points multiplied by the equity portion of the purchase price of the Additional Property, to be paid at closing of the purchase of each Additional Property.

 

(i)            End of the Investment Period.  At the end of the Investment Period, the Partnership shall cease to acquire Additional Properties, provided that it shall complete any transactions to acquire Additional Properties for which it has become contractually bound during the Investment Period.

7.2           Partnership Limits on Debt Financing.  Except as provided in Section 7.5, other than refinancing of debt balances, the Partnership shall not obtain any Financing and the Property Entities and the REIT Entities may not obtain any Financing unless agreed to in advance by the Limited Partners on terms acceptable to them in their sole discretion.  Except as provided in Section 7.4, the Partnership shall not guaranty any indebtedness.

 

7.3           Property Entity Debt Financing.  It is anticipated the Financing for the acquisition of an Owned Property will be incurred by the Property Entity acquiring or owning the Owned Property.  In order to accommodate the intent of this Agreement, the Partnership, each REIT Entity and each Property Entity will use their commercially reasonable efforts to insure that the loans on all Owned Properties will permit the following:

 

(a)           a purchase or sale by Inland of an Owned Property, or a purchase or sale by Inland or PGGM PRE Fund of a Partnership Interest without the due on sale loan provisions being triggered and without paying a prepayment penalty or assumption fee;

 

(b)           the assumption of the loan by the Limited Partner purchasing an Owned Property or the other Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest; and

 

(c)           the release of the applicable Property Entity and REIT Entity from their obligations on the loan in either of the events in (a) or (b) above.

 

7.4           Required Guaranties.

 

(a)           Partnership.  In the event a lender requires a guaranty for a loan on an Owned Property, the Partnership agrees that it will be obligated to execute a non-recourse carve out guaranty only.

 

(b)           Partners.  No Partner shall be obligated to provide a guaranty to any lender or other party or otherwise to use or pledge its credit in connection with any Financing on behalf of or in connection with the Partnership, any REIT Entity, any Property Entity or any Owned Property.  Nonetheless, in the event a Partner provides a non-recourse carve out guaranty for a Financing with respect to the Partnership, a REIT Entity, Property Entity or an Owned Property the Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law indemnify and hold the Partner executing such guaranty, and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers, general partners, employees and agents, or any of them, harmless from any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or in connection with all obligations or liabilities of the guaranty; and provided further, in the event such claim, demand, action, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arises due to the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach

 



 

of an obligation such Partner, such Partner shall indemnify and hold the other Partners, the Partnership, the Property Entities and the REIT Entities, as applicable, and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers, general partners, employees or agents, or any of them, harmless from any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with such fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of an obligation by such Partner.

 

7.5           Limitations on Financing.  The Partnership will target an overall loan-to-total-value ratio of 30% with a maximum of 40% during the first year of the Term, and an overall loan-to-value of 40% with a maximum of 50% for the remaining Term of the Partnership.  Only long term, fixed rate, non-recourse first mortgage debt at the Owned Property or Property Entity level with a yield spread of at least 150 basis points below the Owned Property yield at the time the mortgage indebtedness is occurred shall be utilized, unless otherwise agreed by the Limited Partners.  The foregoing maximum loan-to-value ratios shall be determined with respect to the portfolio of Owned Properties, in the aggregate, and any one Owned Property or group of Owned Properties less than the entire portfolio may exceed the maximum loan-to-value ratios set forth above.  During the Investment Period, the Partnership will acquire Additional Properties free and clear of any debt, except when the unlevered initial yield would be less than 8%, or when the Partners unanimously determine pursuant to EXHIBIT 10-A (Major Decisions) that retaining debt in place or procuring new Financing with respect to an Additional Property at the time of or subsequent to the purchase is advantageous to the Partnership.  Inland or an Affiliate of Inland, will be entitled to receive a fee (the “Financing Fee”) for any new mortgage loans that such party arranges for an Owned Property equal to twenty-five (25) basis points multiplied by the amount of the Financing.  In the alternative, if an unaffiliated third party bank is utilized to arrange Financing, such party will be compensated at a standard market rate, or at a rate otherwise agreed to by the Limited Partners, and such compensation will be an expense of the Partnership.  The payment of the Financing Fee shall be as further set forth in EXHIBIT 10-D.

 

7.6           Determination of Holding Period.  The Limited Partners shall agree to a holding period to be assigned with respect to each of the Inland Properties and the Additional Properties (each, a “Holding Period”) which Holding Period shall be assigned as of the date of contribution (with respect to an Inland Properties) or acquisition (with respect to an Additional Property), shall be for a period of time determined by the Limited Partners, not to exceed the balance of the Maximum Term, and, if not agreed to on or prior to the date of contribution or acquisition, as the case may be, shall be for a period of time equal to the balance of the Maximum Term, as same may be extended from time to time pursuant to Section 5.5(d).

(iii)          Qualified Income Offset.  In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) that causes that Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.6(c)(iii) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this ARTICLE 8 have been tentatively made as if this Section 8.6(c)(iii) were not in this Agreement.  This Section 8.6(c)(iii) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3), and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(iv)          Limitation on Loss Allocations.  The Losses allocated to any Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(b) with respect to any Allocation Period shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such Allocation Period.  All Losses otherwise allocable to a Partner in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(c)(iv) shall be allocated (A) first, to those Partners who are not subject to this limitation in accordance with Section 8.6(b), and (B) second, any remaining amount to the Partners in the manner required by the Code and the Regulations.

 



 

(v)           Section 743(b) and Section 734(b) Adjustments.  To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 743(b) or Code Section 734(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or, in the case of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partners to which such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

 

(vi)          Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(viii)        Regulatory Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections 8.6(c)(iii) and 8.6(c)(iv) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations.  It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all such allocations shall be offset as rapidly as possible with special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss, expense, or deduction of the Partnership.  Therefore, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.6(c), such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss, expense, or deduction of the Partnership shall be made so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the greatest extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if Sections 8.6(c)(iii), 8.6(c)(iv), and 8.6(c)(viii) were not part of this Agreement and all items of the Company were allocated pursuant to Sections 8.6(b), 8.6(c)(i), 8.6(c)(ii), and 8.6(c)(v) - 8.6(c)(vii).

 

(ix)           Section 704(c) and Capital Account Revaluation Allocations.  In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the “traditional method” of Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) or an alternative method or methods unanimously selected by the Partners, income, gain, loss, expense, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Partnership shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation

 



 

between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value.  In the event the Book Value of any asset of the Partnership is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Book Value”, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, expense, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the “traditional method” of Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) or an alternative method or methods unanimously selected by the Partners.  Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.6(c)(ix) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.  The Partners acknowledge and agree that all Partnership income and gain derived from (i) taxable dispositions of equity interests in REIT Entities (including liquidating distributions under Code Section 331 that are received by the Partnership from REIT Entities), (ii) capital gain dividends or other distributions from REIT Entities, or (iii) the disguised sale of one or more Inland Properties as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.707-3 shall in each case, to the extent attributable to Inland Built-In Gains, be allocated solely to Inland in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, and this Section 8.6(c)(ix) and the other provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such agreement of the Partners.

 

(x)            Additional Allocation Rules.  For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis (but no less frequently than once annually), as reasonably determined by the General Partner using any method that is permissible under the Code (including without limitation Section 706) and the Regulations thereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, if there is any change in any Partner’s Percentage Interest, then the then-current Allocation Period shall end on the last day preceding the change and a new Allocation Period shall commence on the first day for which the change is effective.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Partnership and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as is applicable to Profits and Losses for the Allocation Period in question.  The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Agreement and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement in reporting their shares of income and loss of the Partnership for income tax purposes.

 



 

(d)           Method of Accounting.  Unless otherwise determined by the Partners or required by law, the Partnership shall use the accrual method of accounting for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

(e)           No Deficit Restoration Obligation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Partner shall have any obligation to the Partnership or to any other Partner to restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account to the Partnership; provided however, if the deficit is created due to a distribution of assets in-kind, the Partner receiving such distribution shall restore any deficit in its Capital Account created by such distribution in-kind by contributing cash equal to such deficit to the Partnership.

 

8.7           Withholding Matters; Tax Covenants.  The Partnership and the General Partner shall be subject to and comply with such obligations and covenants with respect to the withholding of income from distributions and tax matters as the Limited Partners may reasonably agree.

(i)            other than with respect to an Emergency Situation, the General Partner breaches this Agreement by taking any action that constitutes a Major Decision without the unanimous approval of the Limited Partners;

 



 

(ii)                                  the General Partner takes any action or omits to take any action on behalf of the Partnership that constitutes fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, recklessness, or wanton or willful misconduct;

 

(iii)                               the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of the General Partner;

 

(iv)                              Inland’s failure to comply fully with Sections 14.4 or 14.6 of this Agreement; or

 

(v)                                 a Change of Control of Inland;

 

and, with respect to any breach that is capable of being cured, such failure is not cured (A) with respect to a matter which is solely within the control of the General Partner, within thirty (30) days and (B) with respect to a matter which is not solely within the control of the General Partner, within ninety (90) days, or if such matter is not capable of being cured within said ninety (90) day period, as otherwise extended with agreement of PGGM PRE Fund, in each case after written notice from PGGM PRE Fund (the “Aggrieved Partner”), then the Aggrieved Partner shall have the right by notice to the General Partner (the “Replacement Notice”) to designate a replacement to replace the General Partner and thereafter to serve as General Partner, with said replacement to be effective on the 10th day following the furnishing of the Replacement Notice, subject however to the General Partner’s rights to dispute said replacement, as provided below in this Section 9.1(c).  If the General Partner disputes the basis on which the Replacement Notice is issued by the Aggrieved Partner, the General Partner shall have the right, to be exercised within ten (10) days after receiving the Replacement Notice, to submit the matter of whether the Aggrieved Partner is entitled to replace the General Partner in accordance with this Section 9.1(c) (and no other matter) to the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, Illinois for adjudication within thirty (30) days pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules utilizing expedited procedures.  If the General Partner does make such submission within such 10-day period, the General Partner shall remain as the General Partner unless the arbitrators conclude that the General Partner should be replaced by the Aggrieved Partner’s designated Affiliate.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and may be enforced by the winning party in any court of competent jurisdiction.  All costs of the arbitration and such enforcement shall be borne and promptly paid by the Partnership.  The General Partner and the Aggrieved Partner shall make all submissions to the arbitrators in a timely manner and shall otherwise cooperate to achieve a timely resolution of the dispute.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, removal of a General Partner will not affect the rights under this Agreement of any Partner who is affiliated with the General Partner so removed.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, in the absence of an event constituting Cause, Inland may in its sole discretion, appoint an Inland Affiliate as a replacement General Partner.

the General Partner, including any insurance coverage required by any lender to the Partnership, with respect to each Owned Property all in form and substance acceptable to the General Partner.    The required insurance for the Partnership, REIT Entities and Property Entities shall be set forth in the annual Business Plan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Inland may include the Partnership within any umbrella insurance coverage maintained by Inland, and upon the General Partner’s good faith determination of the adequacy of same, the General Partner may elect to cause the Owned Properties to be covered under any captive insurance program maintained by Inland.

 

(f)                                    No Duty to Inquire.  Nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation on any person or firm doing business with the Partnership to inquire as to whether or not the General Partner has exceeded its power and authority in executing any contract, lease, mortgage, security agreement, deed or other instrument on behalf of the Partnership, and any such third person shall be fully protected in relying upon such authority.

judgment, or for action or inaction, taken reasonably and in good faith for a purpose that was reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Partnership, or for losses due to such mistakes, action or inaction, or for the negligence of any employee, provided that such employee was supervised with reasonable care, or for the negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any broker or other agent of the Partnership, provided that such broker or agent was selected, engaged or retained and supervised with reasonable care.  The General Partner and each Limited Partner may consult with counsel and accountants in respect of Partnership affairs and be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction that is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counselor or accountants, provided that they shall have been selected with reasonable care.  The Partners shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of their capital and, if the assets of the Partnership remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership are insufficient to return such capital, they shall have no recourse against the General Partner or the Limited Partners for such purpose.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to relieve (or attempt to relieve) any Partner for any liability it may have to another Partner or the Partnership for any actions by it or its agents or employees, which constitute the breach or violation of its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement or any liability by reason of fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, recklessness or intentional wrongdoing or to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(a)                                  Partnership IndemnityThe Partnership shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Partner and its Affiliates, including without limitation, the General Partner, and the managers, members, officers, employees or agents of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) against any losses, claims, cost, expenses, damages, demands or liabilities to which such Indemnified Party may become subject as a result of claims brought by third parties (i.e., any Person that is not an Affiliate of Inland or PGGM PRE Fund) in connection with any matter arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to be performed by any such Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs; but only to the extent that such act or omission (i) was not attributable to such Indemnified Party’s fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence and (ii) did not constitute a breach or violation by said Indemnified Party of its material obligations under or in connection with this Agreement.  If an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, the Partnership shall make advances to such Indemnified Party for its reasonable legal and other reasonable out of pocket expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred in connection therewith, provided that such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Partnership the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified by the

 



 

Partnership in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation.  Any indemnity or advancement under this Section 9.7(a) shall be paid solely out of and to the extent of Partnership assets and shall not be a personal obligation of any Partner.

(d)                                 Expenses.  To the extent that an Indemnified Party has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraph (a), above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the person shall be indemnified by the Partnership against expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection therewith.

 

(e)                                  Determination.  Any indemnification, but not advancement (which shall be mandatory), under paragraph (a), above (unless ordered by a court), shall be made by the Partnership if the Indemnified Party has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraph (a), above.  The determination whether the Indemnified Party has met the applicable standard of conduct shall be made in good faith by the Partner or Partners not Affiliated with such Indemnified Party.

 

(f)                                    Indemnification Not Exclusive.  The indemnification and advancement rights provided by this Section 9.7 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement may be entitled under the Certificate or any agreement, vote of Partners or disinterested managers, or otherwise, both as to action in the person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, general partner, manager, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

 

(g)                                 Insurance.  The Partnership, subject to approval of the Partners, may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a General Partner, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership, or who is or was serving at the

 



 

request of the Partnership as a director, officer, general partner, manager, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any capacity; or arising out of the person’s status as such, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the provisions of this Section 9.7.

 

(h)                                 Report to Partners.  If the Partnership has advanced expenses to the General Partner, or any Indemnified Party of the General Partner, the Partnership shall promptly report the indemnification or advance in writing to the Partners.

 

(i)                                     Definitions.  For purposes of this Section, references to “serving at the request of the Partnership” shall include any service as a General Partner, officer, employee or agent of the Partnership that imposes duties on, or involves services by the General Partner, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

(a)                                  to enter into a settlement agreement which purports to bind the Partnership or the Partners other than the TMP;

 



 

(b)                                 to file a petition contemplated in Section 6226(a) or 6228(a) of the Code;

 

(c)                                  to file any request contemplated in Section 6227(b) of the Code;

 

(d)                                 to enter into an agreement extending the period of limitations as contemplated in Section 6229(b)(1)(B) of the Code.

The arbitrator shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the two positions submitted by the Limited Partners.  If the General Partner fails to enforce the determination of the arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such failure, any Partner shall be entitled, at the expense of the Partnership, to enforce the determination of the arbitrator, utilizing the same expedited procedures.

consents to a Transfer of the Interest of another Partner or if a Partner effects a Transfer of its Interest permitted under this ARTICLE 11, then the giving of any such consent or the making of such permitted Transfer in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such consent or the application of the provisions of this ARTICLE 11 to any other or subsequent Transfer of such Partner’s Interest.

 

(b)                                 Condition to All Transfers.  It shall be a condition to any Transfer that any required consent to such Transfer by any Secured Lender shall have been obtained.  It shall also be a condition to the effectiveness of any Transfer of all or part of the Interest to a Person other than a Partner, including Transfers otherwise permitted by Sections 11.2(d) and (e), and a condition to the purported transferee of such Transfer being admitted as a Partner of the Partnership or otherwise being entitled to any benefits or rights under this Agreement or otherwise associated with such Interest, that:

 

(i)                                     except in the case of a Transfer of ownership interests in a Partner permitted by Sections 11.2(c), (A) the transferee shall execute and deliver to the other Partners a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other Partners accepting and adopting the terms of this Agreement and unconditionally assuming and agreeing to be bound by all obligations, conditions and covenants of the transferring Partner hereunder with respect to the Interest transferred (whether in existence at the time of such Transfer or accruing thereafter), and (B) any guarantor of the obligations of the transferor under this Agreement shall execute a written guaranty of the obligations of the transferee hereunder, to the same extent and on the same terms as such guaranty of the transferor’s obligations;
 
(ii)                                  except in the case of a Transfer of ownership interests in a Partner permitted by Sections 11.2(c), the other Partners shall have received such evidence (including opinions of counsel, which may be in-house counsel) of the due authorization, execution and delivery of instruments by, and the validity and enforceability of such instruments against, such transferee as the other Partners shall reasonably request;
 
(iii)                               the other Partners, at their option, shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the other Partners that (A) such Transfer shall not violate any federal or applicable state securities law or cause the Partnership to fail to qualify for an exemption from registration under the federal and any applicable state securities laws, and (B) such Transfer will not result in the imposition of fiduciary responsibility on the Partnership, any Partner or any Affiliate of any Partner under the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”);
 
(iv)                              such Transfer will not result in any REIT Entity no longer qualifying as a Domestically Controlled REIT; and
 
(v)                                 such Transfer will not result in the Partnership being treated as a

 



 

publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7704.

 

(c)                                  Certain Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.2(a), but subject to the limitations of Section 11.2(b), any Person who is a stockholder, partner, member or other direct or indirect owner of any Partner may, from time to time, Transfer all or a portion of such Person’s direct or indirect interest in such Partner to any Person, provided that (i) any required consent has been received, (ii) either (A) the assignee of such interest satisfies the provisions set forth in Section 11.2(d) or (B) the Partners receive other evidence satisfactory to each of them that the proposed Transfer shall not result in adverse consequences to such Partner or the Partnership relating to ERISA or result in any REIT Entity no longer qualifying as a Domestically Controlled REIT, and (iii) after giving effect to such Transfer, such Partner would come within the definition of a Transfer Affiliate as applied to such Partner as constituted on the Effective Date.  For avoidance of doubt, the parties expressly agree that the foregoing provisions (i), (ii) and (iii) shall not be applicable to any transaction which is not deemed to be a “Transfer” pursuant to the exceptions contained in the definition of “Transfer”.

 

(d)                                 Transfers to Transfer Affiliates.  Subject to the limitations of Section 11.2(b), each Partner shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without the consent of the General Partner or any other Partner, to sell or assign all or any portion of its Interest to a Transfer Affiliate of such Partner.  In the event of any such transfer, the transferee shall assume all obligations of the transferor attributable to the Interest transferred, in accordance with Section 11.2(b), provided that the transferor shall not thereby be released and shall continue to be jointly and severally liable with such transferee for all such obligations unless such Transfer Affiliate is an institutional investor that has a net worth in excess of $1 billion.  Furthermore, any transferee of all or any portion of the Interest of a Partner shall have the right, pursuant to this Section 11.2(e), to assign all or any portion of its Interest to such Partner or any Transfer Affiliate of such Partner, except that if a Partner has assigned its entire Interest, any further assignment of all or any portion of such Interest shall thereafter be subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 11.  If a Partner shall transfer less than its entire Interest to a Transfer Affiliate, references to such Partner in this Agreement shall refer to such Partner and its Transfer Affiliate collectively, and such transferor Partner shall be authorized to act on behalf of such Transfer Affiliate for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  ERISA Provisions.  A purchaser or assignee referred to in Section 11.2(a) shall satisfy the provisions of this Section 11.2(e) if (a) such Person is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) the assets of such Person do not constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3101, and (c) such Person is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA.  Each Partner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other Partner harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and losses incurred in

 



 

correcting any prohibited transaction, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in such other Partner’s sole discretion) that such other Partner may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a Transfer of a direct or indirect interest in such Partner to any Person not satisfying the provisions of this Section 11.2(e).

 

(f)                                    Binding Effect.  Any Person acquiring or claiming an interest in the Partnership, in any manner whatsoever, shall be subject to and bound by all terms, conditions and obligations hereof to which its predecessor in interest, if any, was subject or bound, without regard to whether such Person has executed a counterpart hereof or any other document contemplated hereby.  No Person, including the legal representatives, heirs or legatees of a deceased Partner, shall have any rights or obligations greater than those set forth herein and no Person shall acquire an interest in the Partnership or become a Partner except as permitted hereby.

 

(g)                                 Actions Prior to Acceptance of Assignment.  The Partnership and the General Partner shall be entitled to treat the assignor of the assigned interest as the absolute owner thereof in all respects and shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to such assignor prior to such time as the documents specified in paragraph (b), above, have been delivered to and accepted by the General Partner.

 

(h)                                 Costs.  The out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Partnership in processing an assignment (including attorney’s fees) shall be borne by the assignee, and shall be payable prior to and as a condition of admission to the Partnership.

 

11.3                           [Intentionally Omitted].

 

11.4                           Continuation of Partnership Upon Certain Events.  The death, disability, court declaration of incompetence, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or other dissociation of a Limited Partner shall not dissolve the Partnership, but it shall be continued with the successor or legal representative of such Partner; such successor or legal representative shall, to the extent of the interest acquired, be entitled only to the predecessor Partner’s rights, if any, in the capital, profits and losses and distributions of the Partnership, and no such Person shall have any right to participate in the management of the affairs of the Partnership or vote on any Partnership matter without the written consent of the Partners.

 

11.5                           Put/Purchase Options.

 

(a)                                  PGGM PRE Fund’s Put Option. For each 12 calendar month period (each, an “Option Year”) PGGM PRE Fund shall have the option to sell up to an aggregate of twenty percent (20%) of PGGM PRE Fund’s Initial Percentage Interest to Inland, as provided in this Section 11.5(a) and for the purchase price and pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 11.5(c) below (the “PGGM PRE Fund Put Option”).  The PGGM PRE Fund Put Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part on a quarterly basis as follows:

 



 

(i)                                     PGGM PRE Fund shall first have the right to exercise the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option during the Exercise Period (as defined below) in the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter of the sixth anniversary of the first Inland Initial Capital Contribution (the “Put Option Commencement Quarter”);

 

(ii)                                  Beginning with the Put Option Commencement Quarter, and on a quarterly basis thereafter until exercised in full, PGGM PRE Fund may exercise the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option at any time during an Exercise Period by delivering to Inland notice of PGGM PRE Fund’s election to exercise the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, setting forth the percentage of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest that PGGM PRE Fund elects to sell as of such time (the “PGGM PRE Fund Exercise Notice”).

 

(iii)                               For purposes hereof, the “Exercise Period” shall mean a period beginning with the delivery of the Partnership’s quarterly reports and Financial Statements to PGGM PRE Fund as provided in ARTICLE 8 and ending ten (10) Business Days thereafter during each calendar quarter during an Option Year, commencing with the Put Option Commencement Quarter.  A PGGM PRE Fund Exercise Notice delivered after the end of the then-current Exercise Period shall be considered applicable to the immediately following Exercise Period.

 

(b)                                 Inland’s Purchase Option.  During each Option Year, beginning with the Put Option Commencement Quarter, Inland shall have the option to purchase up to an aggregate of twenty percent (20%) of PGGM PRE Fund’s Initial Percentage Interest (less any PGGM PRE Fund’s Initial Partnership Interest previously sold pursuant to Section 11.5(a) during such Calendar Year or that PGGM PRE Fund elects to sell during the then-current Exercise Period), exercisable on a quarterly basis as provided in this Section 11.5(b) and for the purchase price and pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 11.5(c) below (the “Inland Purchase Option”, and together with the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, an “Option” or the “Options”). The Inland Purchase Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part on a quarterly basis as follows:

 

(i)                                     Inland shall first have the right to exercise the Inland Purchase Option during the Exercise Period in the Put Option Commencement Quarter;

 

(ii)                                  Beginning during the Exercise Period which takes place in the Put Option Commencement Quarter, and on an quarterly basis thereafter until exercised in full, Inland may exercise the Inland Purchase Option at any time during the Exercise Period by delivering to PGGM PRE Fund notice of Inland’s election to exercise the Inland Purchase Option, setting forth the percentage of PGGM PRE Fund’s Initial Partnership Interest Inland elects to purchase as of such time (the “Inland Exercise Notice”, and together with the PGGM PRE Fund Exercise Notice, the “Exercise Notice” or “Exercise Notices”).

 



 

(c)                                  Payment; Valuation.

 

(i)                             The purchase price for the PGGM PRE Fund Partnership Interest to be sold and purchased as set forth in an Exercise Notice (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the NAV of the Partnership as set forth in the quarterly report and Financial Statements described in Section 8.2, the delivery of which commenced the applicable Exercise Period, multiplied by the Percentage Interest set to be sold in such Exercise Notice, unless either Inland or PGGM PRE Fund, as the case may be, notifies the other in the Exercise Notice that it disagrees with such NAV and requests that the Purchase Price be determined in accordance with the method described in paragraph 3 on EXHIBIT 11.5-A (an “Appraisal”) in which case the “Purchase Price” shall be the price determined by such Appraisal.  In the event that both Inland and PGGM PRE Fund deliver an Exercise Notice within the same Exercise Period and only one of them elects an Appraisal, the full amount of the PGGM PRE Fund Partnership Interest to be sold pursuant to such Exercise Notices shall be sold at the Purchase Price determined pursuant to the Appraisal.

 

(ii)                                  The Purchase Price shall be payable at a closing occurring at 10:00 a.m. CST on the 5th Business Day after (A) the end of the applicable Exercise Period, if neither Inland or PGGM PRE Fund elects an Appraisal in its Exercise Notice, or (B) determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to an Appraisal (the “Closing Date”) at the principal offices of the Partnership or such other time and place as agreed by Inland and PGGM PRE Fund as follows:  (y) in the event the Purchase Price is paid in cash, the Purchase Price shall be paid to PGGM PRE Fund, and an assignment of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest being sold shall be delivered to Inland by PGGM PRE Fund; or (z) in the event the Purchase Price is to be paid all or partially in Stock (as defined below), the Stock shall be delivered to PGGM PRE Fund, the cash portion of the Purchase Price (if any) shall be paid to PGGM PRE Fund, and an assignment of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest being sold shall be delivered to Inland by PGGM PRE Fund.

 

(iii)                               Inland, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price in registered, non-restricted shares of common stock of Inland or a successor company (the “Stock”); provided that to the extent the Stock proposed to be issued to PGGM PRE Fund, when added to any shares of Inland equity then held by PGGM PRE Fund, exceeds five percent (5%) of all outstanding equity interests of Inland, PGGM PRE Fund’s consent shall be required for Inland to pay any portion of the Purchase Price in Stock.  The shares of Stock shall be issued to PGGM PRE Fund at a price (the “Price Per Share”) equal to the trailing five (5) calendar day average closing price of Inland’s Common Stock, less five percent (5%), for the five (5) calendar days preceding the Closing Date and shall be subject to the terms of a subscription and lock-up agreement in the form of

 



 

Subscription and Lock-Up Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT 11.5-B (“Subscription and Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, PGGM PRE Fund shall agree not to sell or otherwise transfer Stock equal to more than one-tenth of the outstanding equity interests of Inland in any single Business Day for one year after issuance by Inland.

 

(d)                                 End of Venture.  Upon the termination of the Term of the Partnership as provided herein, each of Inland and PGGM PRE Fund shall immediately have the right to accelerate the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, by delivering an Exercise Notice to Inland or PGGM PRE Fund, as the case may be, within sixty (60) Business Days following the end of the Term, for a Purchase Price determined in accordance with Section 11.5(c); provided however, that (i) the Option shall be exercisable to the full extent of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest at the end of the Term and not limited to twenty percent (20%) PGGM PRE Fund’s Initial Partnership Interest as otherwise provided in Sections 11.5(a) and (b), and (ii) the Closing Date for the purchase of the PGGM PRE Fund Partnership Interest to be sold pursuant to this Section 11.5(d) shall be the 5th Business Day following (A) the delivery of the Exercise Notice, if neither Inland or PGGM PRE Fund elects an Appraisal in its Exercise Notice, or (B) determination of the Purchase Price pursuant to an Appraisal described in paragraph 3 of EXHIBIT 11.5-A.

 

(e)                                  Pre-Closing Distributions and AllocationsSections 8.5(a), 8.5(b), and 8.6(b) shall be applied on a “closing of the books” basis in connection with a sale of all or any portion of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest to Inland pursuant to this Section 11.5.  Net Ordinary Cash Flow and Net Extraordinary Cash Flow attributable to the period ending as of the close of business on the last day preceding the change in the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests upon a sale of all or any portion of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest to Inland pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be distributed under Sections 8.5(a) and 8.5(b) in accordance with the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests in effect prior to such change.  As provided in Section 8.6(c)(x), as a result of the change in the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests upon a sale of all or any portion of PGGM PRE Fund’s Partnership Interest to Inland pursuant to this Section 11.5, the then-current Allocation Period shall end as of the close of business on the last day preceding the change and a new Allocation Period shall commence on the first day for which the change is effective.

Partnership pursuant to ARTICLE 13, (b) by way of distributions as provided pursuant to Sections 8.4 and 8.5, and (c) pursuant to the indemnity provisions in Section 9.7.

 

12.2                           Priorities.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, no Partners shall have a priority right as to withdrawals, distributions or the return of contributions.

 

12.3                           Interest on Capital Contributions.  Other than interest which may accrue on PIC Funds as invested (which, pursuant to Section 8.5 is considered Net Ordinary Cash Flow and not interest on a Capital Contribution), and unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, no interest shall be allowed to any Partner upon the amount of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account.

 

ARTICLE 13

 

Dissolution

 

13.1                           Liquidation Procedures.  Upon dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.5, the affairs of the Partnership shall be wound up and its assets shall be liquidated and distributed in accordance with this Agreement and the Act.

 

13.2                           Liquidating Trustee.  Upon the dissolution of the Partnership business for any reason, the General Partner shall act as “Liquidating Trustee” or shall elect a Liquidating Trustee who shall wind up the affairs of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement and the Act.  If the General Partner has been removed, has withdrawn or is unwilling or unable to act as or elect a Liquidating Trustee, the Limited Partners shall appoint a Liquidating Trustee.  The Liquidating Trustee shall have full power to sell, assign and encumber Partnership assets in any orderly manner for all-cash in transactions with Persons that are not Affiliates of either Partner and are not acting as nominees for either Partner.  All certificates or notices required by law shall be filed on behalf of the Partnership by the Liquidating Trustee.

 

13.3                           Distribution on Winding Up.  In the event of the winding up of the Partnership for any reason, the proceeds of liquidation shall be applied by the end of the Fiscal Year in which the liquidation occurs or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation, in the following rank and order:

 

(a)                                  Creditors.  To the creditors of the Partnership, including Partners who are creditors (including under unpaid Partnership Loans or outstanding indemnification payments, if not prohibited by the Partnership’s creditors in the documents evidencing such creditor obligations), in satisfaction of liabilities of the Partnership, all in the order of priority and to the extent provided by law.

 

(b)                                 Expenses.  To the payment of costs and expenses incurred in the dissolution and termination of the Partnership.

13.4                           Distributions In Kind.  In connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, the Liquidating Trustee shall, at Inland’s request, distribute equity interests in the REIT Entities to Inland in kind; provided, however that if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the equity interests in the REIT Entities that Inland requests the Liquidating Trustee to distribute in kind to Inland exceeds Inland’s pro rata share (based on the respective Percentage Interests of Inland and PGGM PRE Fund) of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Partnership’s non-PIC Fund assets to which Inland is otherwise entitled pursuant to this ARTICLE 13, then, as a condition precedent to any such in kind distribution to Inland, Inland shall contribute to the Partnership such excess amount in cash (which cash contribution obligation may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with remaining PIC Funds in accordance with Section 8.4(b)), and such cash shall be distributed to PGGM PRE Fund concurrently with the in kind distribution of the equity interests in the REIT Entities to Inland.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.4 shall be interpreted or applied in a manner that would result in PGGM PRE Fund receiving distributions in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership that are less than the distributions that PGGM PRE Fund would receive if no distributions in kind were made to Inland.  Except as set forth in this Section 13.4, distributions in kind shall not be made to any other Limited Partner unless expressly approved in advance by the Limited Partners.  The Fair Market Value of the equity interests in the REIT Entities to be distributed in kind to Inland pursuant to this Section 13.4 shall be determined as set forth in paragraph 3 of EXHIBIT 11.5-A.

14.4                           Exclusivity Covenant of Inland.  Inland agrees, for and on behalf of itself, and each Inland Affiliate that Inland Controls (which for purposes of ARTICLE 14 is referred to herein collectively as “Inland”), that the Partnership will be Inland’s exclusive vehicle for future acquisition of Qualified Properties during the Investment Period, or, if earlier, until the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) Inland’s Capital Commitments are fully funded by Inland or the acquisition of Qualified Properties pursuant to binding agreements would require a Capital Contribution in excess of Inland’s Capital Commitment, or (c) the occurrence of three (3) Qualified Property Rejections (other than with respect to Four Flaggs) during any twelve (12) consecutive month period (collectively and as applicable, the “Inland Restriction Period”).  During the Inland Restriction Period, without PGGM PRE Fund’s consent, Inland will not directly or indirectly, whether individually, or as a shareholder, partner, member, owner, manager, general partner, employee, agent, consultant or creditor of any business (which includes owning, managing, operating, controlling, being employed by, acting as a consultant to, giving financial assistance to, participating in or being connected in any material way with any business or person so engaged) acquire or bring to the attention of or offer to any party other than the Partnership for acquisition or investment a Qualified Property within the Investment Area.  This exclusivity shall not apply to: (i) any Inland joint ventures or other investments existing as of the Effective Date and set forth on the attached Schedule 14.4 (each, an “Existing Inland JV”); (ii) opportunities presented to Inland by third parties that do not include a Qualified Property; (iii) Properties that do not satisfy the Investment Guidelines; or (iv) Properties presented to the Partnership for approval pursuant to Section 7.1 for which PGGM PRE Fund withholds its approval for purchase by the Partnership.  Inland further agrees to provide PGGM PRE Fund with notice of the proposed acquisition by an Existing Inland JV of a Qualified Property during the Investment Period.

 

14.5                           Exclusivity Covenant of PGGM.  PGGM PRE Fund agrees that, during the Investment Period, or, if earlier, in each case until the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) PGGM PRE Fund’s Capital Commitments are fully funded by PGGM PRE Fund or the acquisition of a Qualified Property would require a Capital Contribution in excess of PGGM PRE Fund’s Capital Commitment, or (c) PGGM PRE Fund is no longer a Partner, without Inland’s consent it will not commit to invest in, subscribe for an interest in, or enter into any other partnership or joint venture arrangement, with any entity whose investment strategy is focused solely on necessity-based, grocery-anchored or community retail shopping centers in the Investment Area.  This exclusivity shall

 



 

not apply to (i) opportunities that do not include a Qualified Property; (ii) Properties that do not satisfy the Investment Guidelines; (iii) investments in entities with a national focus, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any entity which may target a Property that meets the Investment Guidelines; or (iv) investments in publicly listed entities.  PGGM PRE Fund further agrees to provide Inland with notice of the proposed acquisition by PGGM PRE Fund investment of a Qualified Property during the Investment Period of which the PGGM PRE Fund investment officer monitoring its investment in the Partnership becomes aware.

 

14.6         Confidentiality Covenant.  Each Partner, on behalf of itself and its advisors, and the General Partner agrees that it shall not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, publish, communicate, divulge, disclose, disseminate or otherwise reveal to any person or entity other than said Partner’s board members or managers, general partners, officers and employees, prospective lenders to the Partnership, REIT Entities or Property Entities, prospective investors or purchasers of the Partnership, REIT Entities, Property Entities or Owned Properties or any Partner’s Interest in the Partnership (which investors or purchasers are themselves subject to confidentiality agreements reasonably approved by the Limited Partners), any attorneys, agents, advisors, consultants or professionals engaged by said Partner, the General Partner in connection with a Partner’s investment in the Partnership or the exercise (or potential exercise) of a Partner’s rights under this Agreement, or use for any purpose whatsoever any Confidential Information, except as may be necessary in the course of performing authorized services for the Partnership, including the management and leasing of the Properties, or as may be required by applicable order of court or any governmental authority, any law, statute or regulation, the rules of any stock exchange on which said Partner’s shares are traded, any applicable federal or state Freedom of Information Act, other similar legislation, or any requirements of the Service regarding disclosure or reporting of the tax aspects of this Agreement.  Before disclosing any Confidential Information under compulsion of law, the Partners shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Partnership to the extent practicable and permitted by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, PGGM PRE Fund and Inland may (i) publicly disclose, including on its website on its own behalf and on behalf of an investor in PGGM PRE Fund, the name of the Partnership, the name of the General Partner and its equity owners, a general description of the Partnership’s investment strategy and Investment Guidelines, including the geographic area and sector in which the Partnership intends to purchase Properties and the aggregate Capital Commitments of PGGM PRE Fund to the Partnership; (ii) provide copies of the Partnership Agreement and all related agreements to investors and potential investors in the PGGM PRE Fund; and (iii) disclose a general description of the Partnership Agreement and related agreements to potential investors in the PGGM PRE Fund, provided in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) such investor or potential investor is subject to an agreement containing confidentiality covenants equivalent to those contained in this Agreement in respect of any such disclosure.

(a)           Covenants of the Parties.  The Partners expressly acknowledge and agree that each of Inland and PGGM PRE Fund and their Affiliates and subsidiaries are engaged in all aspects of real property ownership, management, leasing, acquisition and disposition, including, but not limited to, each of the activities to be undertaken by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Except as provided in the Property Management Agreement and the Leasing Agreement, neither Inland, nor PGGM PRE Fund, nor the Partnership shall have any obligation to the others with respect to leasing or directing tenants to the Partnership, REIT Entities or Property Entities.  Except as expressly agreed to by Inland in Section 14.4, and PGGM PRE Fund in Section 14.5, nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to require that Inland or PGGM PRE Fund or any of their Affiliates operate their businesses in a manner which shall cause any of them to take any actions which are not in the best interests of the owners or the tenants of any of the retail properties which are now or hereafter owned, developed or managed by Inland or PGGM PRE Fund or any of their Affiliates, including the Owned Properties.

 

(b)           Management by Inland.  In connection with its undertaking hereunder, Inland intends, in its capacity as a Partner of the Partnership, to use commercially reasonable efforts and shall cause the General Partner to use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions in the usual and customary course of its business to cause the Owned Properties owned by the Property Entities to be operated, managed, leased, acquired and disposed of in the best interests of the Partnership and each of its Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PGGM PRE Fund acknowledges and agrees that Inland or the General Partner owes no fiduciary or other duty to PGGM PRE Fund to cause the Owned Properties to be treated any differently than any other Property which may now or hereafter be owned, managed or leased by Inland, the General Partner or any of their Affiliates, and that Inland and the General Partner shall be entitled to directly compete with the Partnership and PGGM PRE Fund with respect to the activities of the Partnership provided such competition does not otherwise violate the provisions of Section 14.4, the Property Management Agreement or the Leasing Agreement.  Inland, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and subsidiaries, agrees that, and subject to obtaining the approval of the Limited Partners in the case of Major Decisions, for as long as the General Partner is an Affiliate of Inland, the General Partner shall operate the Partnership, REIT Entities, Property Entities and Owned Properties in a manner consistent with the customary standards for similar equity investments and properties owned by Inland and its Affiliates taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Owned Properties.

(a)           No Registration Statement.  It has been advised no registration statement relating to interests in the Partnership, the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, or otherwise has been or shall be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state.

 

(b)           Representations and Warranties.  Each Limited Partner represents and warrants to the General Partner and to the Partnership as to itself that:

 

(i)            This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Partner and constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of such Partner, enforceable in accordance with its terms against such Partner, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws relating to creditor’s rights generally, by general equitable principles and by any implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
 
(ii)           Such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, and with respect to PGGM PRE Fund, the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, has been or will be acquired solely by and for the account of such Partner, for investment purposes only and is not being purchased for subdivision, fractionalization, resale or distribution; such Partner has no contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or pledge to such Person or anyone else such Partner’s interest, or with respect to PGGM PRE Fund, the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option (or any portion thereof); and such Partner has no present plans or intentions to enter into any such contract, undertaking or arrangement.

 



 

(iii)          Such Partner’s interest in the Partnership, and with respect to PGGM PRE Fund, the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, has not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, and cannot be sold or transferred without compliance with the registration provisions of Securities Act, as amended, and the applicable state securities laws, or compliance with exemptions, if any, available thereunder.  Such Partner understands that neither the Partnership nor the General Partner have any obligation or intention to register the interests or the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option under any Federal or state securities act or law, or to file the reports to make public the information required by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  Such Partner expressly represents that (a) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and in sophisticated real estate transactions of the type to be made by the Partnership in particular; (b) it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Partnership; (c) its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Partnership to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness; (d) it is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Partnership for an indefinite period of time, including the risk of losing all of such investment, and loss of such investment would not materially adversely affect it; (e) it has either secured independent tax advice with respect to the investment in the Partnership, upon which it is solely relying, or it is sufficiently familiar with the income taxation of partnerships that it has deemed such independent advice unnecessary; (f) it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which establishes definitive guidelines governing, among other things, the resale of “restricted securities” (securities, such as the Partnership Interests and the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, subordinated notes and convertible notes, which are acquired from the issuer of such securities in a transaction not involving any public offering); and (g) it acknowledges that Rule 144 is not presently available for transfers of the Partnership Interests or the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option, because, among other things, the Partnership is not presently required to file the reports required to be filed by Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and does not have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of that statute; and, even if the Partnership were required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and had filed all reports required to be filed, reliance on Rule 144 to transfer the Partnership Interests and the PGGM PRE Fund Put Option is subject to other restrictions and limitations, as set forth in such Rule.
 
(iv)          Such Partner acknowledges that all documents pertaining to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein have been made available and an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers thereto and to verify and clarify any information contained in the documents has been provided.  Such Partner is aware of the provisions of this Agreement providing for Capital Contributions and dilution of its interest in the Partnership.

 



 

(v)           Such Partner has relied solely upon the documents submitted to it and independent investigations made by it in making the decision to purchase its interest in the Partnership.
 
(vi)          Such Partner expressly acknowledges that (A) no Federal or state agency has reviewed or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information set forth in the documents submitted to such Partner or made any finding or determination as to the fairness for investment, or any recommendation or endorsement of an investment in the Partnership; (B) there are restrictions on the transferability of such Partner’s interest in the Partnership; (C) there will be no public market for the interest, and, accordingly, it may not be possible for such Partner to liquidate its investment in the Partnership; and (D) any anticipated Federal or state income tax benefits applicable to such Partner’s interest may be lost through changes in, or adverse interpretations of, existing laws and regulations.
 
(vii)         The bona fide principal place of business of such Partner is at the address set forth on the signature pages hereof and that it was not formed for the purpose of making an investment in the Partnership.
 

16.4         National Security Representations.  Each Partner represents, warrants and certifies to the other that (a) the Partner is not, and is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of, a Terrorist, and (b) the Partner is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly, on behalf of, any Terrorist.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Partner, or any person acting on behalf of a Partner shall knowingly permit any Owned Property or any portion thereof to be used by any person, entity, concessionaire, licensee, assignee, lessee or sublessee that is or has been designated as a Terrorist.  In addition to, and not in limitation of, any and all other indemnities of a Partner contained herein, each Partner agrees to indemnify the Partnership and each other Partner for any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties (civil and criminal), fines, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by the Partnership or the other Partner and arising from or related to any violation or breach of the foregoing representations, warranties, certifications and obligations.

Any Partner may change its address for all future notices, offers or other communications by giving notice to the General Partner and all Partners stating its new address.

 

17.2         Successors.  This Agreement and all the terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of all Partners and their legal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns, except as expressly herein otherwise provided.

 


 

 


 

17.3         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in conformity with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to agreements whose only parties are residents of such state and which are to be performed entirely within such state.

 

17.4         Personal Jurisdiction.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Partnership, the General Partner and each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for purposes of any litigation among or between the Partnership, the General Partner and any Limited Partner concerning the Partnership or this Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt the schedules and exhibits to this Agreement, or any other litigation to which the Partnership, the General Partner or any Limited Partner is a party under any Contribution Agreement, REIT Contribution Agreement, the Property Management Agreement, the Subscription and Lock-Up Agreement or the Leasing Agreement.  In any such proceeding, the Partnership and each Partner shall be deemed to have waived its right to a trial by jury.  The parties hereto hereby individually agree that they shall not assert any claim that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the venue is improper, that the forum is inconvenient or any similar objection, claim or arguments.  Service of process on any of the parties hereto with regard to any such action may be made by mailing the process to such person by regular or certified mail to the address of such person set forth herein or to any subsequent address to which notices shall be sent.

 

17.5         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

17.6         Pronouns and Headings.  As used herein, all pronouns shall include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural thereof wherever the context and facts require such construction.  The headings, titles and subtitles herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof.

 

17.7         Partners Not Agents.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute any Partner the agent of another Partner, except as specifically provided herein.

 

17.8         No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Without limiting any of the provisions of this Agreement, including any obligations of Partners to make Capital Contributions or to return money or other property to the Partnership, except for Sections 7.4 and 9.7, the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to benefit the Partnership and the parties hereto and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Partnership (and no such creditor shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement), and the Partners shall have no duty or obligation to any creditor of the Partnership to make any contributions or return any money or other property to the Partnership.

 

17.9         Entire Understanding.  This Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt the schedules and exhibits to this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, the REIT Contribution Agreement, the Property Management Agreement, the REIT Agreement, the Subscription and Lock-Up Agreement and the Leasing Agreement constitute the entire

 



 

understanding among the Partners and supersedes any prior understanding and/or written or oral agreements among them with respect to the Partnership.

 

17.10       Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other then those to which it is held invalid by such court, shall not be affected thereby.

 

17.11       Further Assurances.  Each of the Partners shall hereafter execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be required or useful to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof.

 

17.12       Partnership Set-Off Rights.  The Partnership shall be entitled to set off against any amounts which may be or become due to a Partner from the Partnership any obligations, fees, expenses or other amounts which may be payable to the Partnership by such Partner.

 

17.13       Prevailing Party.  If any party to this Agreement shall commence any action against another such party in order to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to recover damages as the result of the breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees and paralegal’s fees) incurred in connection therewith against the party who has breached this Agreement.  Notwithstanding a settlement or other resolution of any such action without the issuance of a definitive ruling by a court, including, but not limited to, any agreement by the parties that such settlement is not an admission of liability by either party, no such settlement or resolution shall constitute a waiver of this Section, and each party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be entitled to petition the court for a determination that it is the prevailing party and entitled to recovery of its reasonable costs hereunder.

 

17.14       Press Releases.  No press releases shall be issued by any party with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement without the prior approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  If any party shall fail to respond to a request for approval of a press release within two Business Days after such party has been given the press release by the party requesting approval, such press release shall be deemed to be approved.

 

17.15       Construction.  This Agreement was negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation, and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof.

 

17.16       Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  Except as provided in Section 6.6, each Partner shall be solely responsible for its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the drafting, negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and all document incident thereto.

 



 

17.17       Limited Liability.  The other Partners acknowledge and agree that (i) PGGM PRE Fund has informed them that PGGM PRE Fund is not a partnership (personenvennootschap) under Dutch law and (ii) any claims that they may have against PGGM PRE Fund are against the PGGM PRE Fund as such, and not against the investors in PGGM PRE Fund, who accordingly, are not liable for any such claims.

 

17.18       Exclusion Policy.  The General Partner agrees that the Partnership shall apply the PGGM PRE Fund’s exclusions policy (the “PGGM Exclusions Policy”) which refers to the PGGM exclusions list (the “PGGM Exclusions List”) attached hereto as EXHIBIT 17.18-A.  The General Partner acknowledges that the PGGM PRE Fund may, from time to time, require additional exclusions to be added to the PGGM Exclusions List (each, an “Additional PGGM Exclusion”). The General Partner agrees that the PGGM PRE Fund has the right to update the PGGM Exclusions List with Additional PGGM Exclusions twice a year.  In the event PGGM PRE Fund notifies the General Partner in writing of any Additional PGGM Exclusion, the General Partner agrees to use its reasonable efforts to the extent consistent with its duties and obligations to the Partnership not to make any investments on behalf of the Partnership that violate such Additional PGGM Exclusion.  For the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner hereby confirms that the Partnership shall at no time invest in any publicly traded United States real estate investment trusts or taxable Australian property within the meaning of Division 855 of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act (1997).

 

17.19       RIRE.  The General Partner shall adhere to the Responsible Investment Policy for Real Estate (the “RIRE”) attached hereto as EXHIBIT 17.19-A.  As of the date hereof, the General Partner is not aware of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the RIRE.  The General Partner acknowledges that the PGGM PRE Fund may from time to time update the RIRE.  The General Partner will use its commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to such updates.

Excess Units.

 

(a)           If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article 6, at any time, until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or other change in the capital structure of the Company such that any Person would Beneficially Own Units in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit (as applicable), then, except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.9 and 6.12, the Units Beneficially Owned in excess of such Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit) shall constitute Excess Units and shall be treated as provided in this Article 6.  Such designation and treatment shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or change in capital structure.

 

(b)           If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article 6, at any time, until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or other change in the capital structure of the Company (as a result of a direct or indirect Transfer or otherwise) which, if effective, would cause the Company to (i) be beneficially owned (as provided in Section 856(a) of the Code) by less than 100 Persons, (ii) become “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code,  (iii) become a “pension-held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (iv) fail to qualify as a Domestically-Controlled REIT or (v) otherwise fail to qualify as real estate investment trust under the Code, then the Units that are the subject of such Transfer or other event which would cause the Company to fail such requirement shall constitute “Excess Units” and shall be treated as provided in this Article 6.  Such designation and treatment shall be

 

14



 

effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or change in capital structure.

 

(c)           If, at any time prior to the Restriction Termination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article 6, there is an event (a “Prohibited Owner Event”) which would result in the disqualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust under the Code  by virtue of actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of Units, then Units which result in such disqualification shall be automatically exchanged for an equal number of Excess Units to the extent necessary to avoid such disqualification.  Such exchange shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Prohibited Owner Event.  In determining which Units are exchanged, Units owned directly or indirectly by any Person who caused the Prohibited Owner Event to occur shall be exchanged before any Units not so held are exchanged.  If similarly situated Persons exist, such exchange shall be pro rata.  If the Company is still so disqualified as a real estate investment trust under the Code, Units owned directly or indirectly by Persons who did not cause the Prohibited Owner Event to occur shall be chosen by random lot and exchanged for Excess Units until the Company is no longer so disqualified as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

 

Prevention of Transfer.  If the Manager or its designee shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section 6.2 or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) or Beneficial Ownership of any Units in violation of Section 6.2, the Manager or its designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer, including, without limitation, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Company or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers in violation of paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 6.2 shall automatically result in the designation and treatment described in Section 6.3, irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Manager.

 

Notice.  Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Units in violation of Section 6.2, or any Person who is a transferee such that Excess Units result under Section 6.3, shall immediately give written notice or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Company of such event and shall provide to the Company such other information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

 

Information for the Company.  Until the Restriction Termination Date:

 

(a)           Every Beneficial Owner of more than ½ of 1% of the number or value of outstanding Units shall, within thirty (30) days after January 1 of each year, give written

 

15



 

notice to the Company stating the name and address of such Beneficial Owner, the number of Units Beneficially Owned, a description of how such Units are held and whether such Beneficial Owner is a U.S. Person.  Each such Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Company such additional information as the Company may reasonably request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

 

(b)           Each Person who is a Beneficial Owner of Units and each Person who is holding Units for a Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Company in writing such information with respect to direct, indirect and constructive ownership of Units as the Manager deems reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to a real estate investment trust, to determine the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.

 

Other Action by Manager.  Nothing contained in this Article 6 shall limit the authority of the Manager to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Company and the interests of its Members by preservation of the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

 

Ambiguities.  In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article 6, including, without limitation, any definition contained in Section 6.1, the Manager shall have the power to interpret and determine the application of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to the Manager.

 

Modification of Existing Holder Limits.  The Existing Holder Limits may be modified as follows:

 

(a)           Subject to the limitations provided in Section 6.11, the Manager may grant options which result in Beneficial Ownership of Units by an Existing Holder pursuant to an option plan approved by the Manager.  Any such grant shall increase the Existing Holder Limit for the affected Existing Holder to the maximum extent possible under Section 6.11 to permit the Beneficial Ownership of the Units issuable upon the exercise of such option.

 

(b)           The Manager shall reduce the Existing Holder Limit for any Existing Holder after any Transfer permitted in this Article 6 by such Existing Holder by the percentage of the outstanding Units so Transferred or after the lapse (without exercise) of an option described in Section 6.9(a) by the percentage of the Units that the option, if exercised, would have represented, but in either case no Existing Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage which is less than the Ownership Limit.

 

16



 

Increase or Decrease in Ownership Limit.  Subject to the limitations provided in Section 6.11, the Manager may from time to time increase or decrease the Ownership Limit; provided, however, that any decrease may only be made prospectively as to subsequent holders (other than a decrease as a result of a retroactive change in existing law that would require a decrease to retain the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code, in which case such decrease shall be effective immediately).

 

Limitations on Changes in Existing Holder and Ownership Limits.

 

(a)                                  Neither the Ownership Limit nor any Existing Holder Limit may be increased (nor may any additional Existing Holder Limit be created) if, after giving effect to such increase (or creation), five (5) Beneficial Owners of Units (including, without limitation, all of the then Existing Holders) could Beneficially Own, in the aggregate, more than 49.9% in number or value of the outstanding Units.

 

(b)                                 Prior to the modification of any Existing Holder Limit or Ownership Limit pursuant to Sections 6.9 or 6.10, the Manager may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

 

(c)                                  No Existing Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage which is less than the Ownership Limit.

 

Waivers by Manager.  The Manager, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Manager and upon at least fifteen (15) days written notice from a transferee prior to the proposed Transfer which, if consummated, would result in the intended transferee owning Units in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit, as the case may be, and upon such other conditions as the Manager may direct, may waive the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit, as the case may be, with respect to such transferee.

 

Severability.  If any provision of this Article 6 or any application of any such provision is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court.

 

Trust for Excess Units.  Upon any purported Transfer that results in Excess Units pursuant to Section 6.3, such Excess Units shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Excess Unit Trustee, as trustee of the Excess Unit Trust for the exclusive benefit of the

 

17



 

Charitable Beneficiary.  Excess Units so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding Units of the Company.  The Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in such Excess Units except as provided in Section 6.17.

 

Distributions on Excess Units.  Any distributions (whether as dividends, distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or otherwise) on Excess Units shall be paid to the Excess Unit Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of (a) the amount of any distribution made upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (b) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Units, or if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Units, the Market Price of the Units on the day of the event causing the Units to be held in trust.  Any such dividend paid or distribution paid to the Purported Record Transferee in excess of the amount provided in the preceding sentence prior to the discovery by the Company that the Units with respect to which the dividend or distribution was made had been exchanged for Excess Units shall be repaid by the Purported Record Transferee to the Excess Unit Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

 

Voting of Excess Units.  The Excess Unit Trustee shall be entitled to vote the Excess Units for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary on any matter.  Subject to Delaware law, any vote taken by a Purported Record Transferee prior to the discovery by the Company that the Excess Units were held in trust shall be rescinded ab initio.  The owner of the Excess Units shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Excess Unit Trustee to vote the Excess Units for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary.

 

Non-Transferability of Excess Units.  Excess Units shall be transferable only as provided in this Section 6.17. At the direction of the Company, the Excess Unit Trustee shall Transfer the Units held in the Excess Unit Trust to a person whose ownership of the Units will not violate the Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit and for whom such Transfer would not be wholly or partially void pursuant to Section 6.2.  Such Transfer shall be made within sixty (60) days after the latest of (x) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Units and (y) the date the Manager determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Units has occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 6.5.  If such a Transfer is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary.  The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Units or, if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Units, the Market Price of the Units on the day of the event causing the Units to be held in trust, and the price received by the Excess Unit Trust from the sale or other disposition of the Units.  Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record Transferee shall be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary.  Prior to any Transfer of any Excess Units by the Excess Unit Trustee, the Company must have waived in writing its purchase rights under Section 6.18.  It is expressly understood that the Purported Record Transferee may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.17 against the Charitable Beneficiary.

 

18



 

If any of the foregoing restrictions on Transfer of Excess Units is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Purported Record Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Company, to have acted as an agent of the Company in acquiring such Excess Units and to hold such Excess Units on behalf of the Company.

 

Call by the Company on Excess Units.  Excess Units shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a price per Unit equal to the lesser of the price per Unit in the transaction that created such Excess Units (or, in the case of a devise, gift or other transaction in which no value was given for such Excess Units, the Market Price at the time of such devise, gift or other transaction) and the Market Price of the Units to which such Excess Units relates on the date the Company, or its designee, accepts such offer (the “Redemption Price”).  The Company shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety (90) days after the later of (x) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Units and (y) the date the Manager determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Units has occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 6.5 but in no event later than a permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 6.17.  Unless the Manager determines that it is in the interests of the Company to make earlier payments of all of the amount determined as the Redemption Price per Unit in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Redemption Price may be payable at the option of the Manager at any time up to but not later than one (1) year after the date the Company accepts the offer to purchase the Excess Units.  In no event shall the Company have an obligation to pay interest to the Purported Record Transferee.

PREFERRED UNITS

 

TERMS OF SERIES A PREFERRED MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

 

1.1                                 Designation and Number.  In addition to the Common Units, the Company may issue up to One Hundred and Twenty Five (125) units of preferred membership interests, having the rights, preferences, powers and limitations described in this Agreement including without limitation those described in this Exhibit C (the “Preferred Units”).  The Preferred Units shall be uncertificated.

 

1.2                                 Rank.  The Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution and redemption rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, rank senior to the Common Units of the Company and to all other membership interests and equity interests in the Company (together with the Common Units, the “Junior Interests”).  The terms “membership interests” and “equity interests” shall not include convertible debt securities unless and until such securities are converted into equity interests of the Company.

 

1.3                    Distributions.

 

1.3.1                        Each holder of the then outstanding Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Manager, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of 12.5% per annum of the total of $1,000.00 per Preferred Unit plus all accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon.  Such distributions shall accrue on a daily basis and be cumulative from the first date on which any Preferred Unit is issued, such issue date to be contemporaneous with the receipt by the Company of subscription funds for the Preferred Units (the “Original Issue Date”), and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on or before June 30 and December 31 of each year or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day (each, a “Distribution Payment Date”).  Any distribution payable on the Preferred Units for any partial distribution period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  A “distribution period” shall mean, with respect to the first “distribution period,” the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and including the first Distribution Payment Date, and with respect to each subsequent “distribution period,” the period from but excluding a Distribution Payment Date to and including the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date or other date as of which accrued distributions are to be calculated.  Distributions will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the records of the Company at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Payment Date falls or on such other date designated by the Manager for the payment of distributions that is not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to such Distribution Payment Date (each, a “Distribution Record Date”).

 

B-2



 

1.3.2                        No distributions on Preferred Units shall be authorized by the Manager or paid or set apart for payment by the Company at such time as the terms and provisions of any written agreement between the Company and any party that is not an Affiliate of the Company, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibit such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or provide that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such authorization or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

 

1.3.3                        Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Preferred Units shall accrue whether or not the terms and provisions set forth in Section 1.3.2 hereof at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions, whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized.  Furthermore, distributions will be authorized and paid when due in all events to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Preferred Units will accumulate as of the Distribution Payment Date on which they first become payable.

 

1.3.4                        Unless full cumulative distributions on all outstanding Preferred Units have been or contemporaneously are authorized and paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past distribution periods, no distributions (other than in units of Junior Securities) shall be authorized or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be authorized or made upon any Junior Interests, nor shall any Junior Interests be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such units) by the Company (except by conversion into or exchange for other units of Junior Interests and except for transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Article 6 of this Agreement.

 

1.3.5                        When distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart) on the Preferred Units, all distributions authorized for the payment to the holders of Preferred Units shall be authorized and paid pro rata based on the number of Preferred Units then outstanding.

 

1.3.6                        Any distribution payment made on the Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distribution due with respect to such Preferred Units which remains payable.  Holders of the Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Units, in excess of full cumulative distributions on the Preferred Units as described above.

 

1.4                    Liquidation Preference.

 

1.4.1                        Subject to Section 1.4.6 below, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company (each a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Preferred Units then outstanding are entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its Members, a preferential

 

B-3



 

liquidation distribution equal to the sum of the following (collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”): (i) $1,000.00 per Preferred Unit, (ii) all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon through and including the date of payment, and (iii) if the Liquidation Event occurs before the Redemption Premium (as defined below) right expires the per unit Redemption Premium in effect on the date of payment of the Liquidation Preference, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of any Junior Interests.

 

1.4.2                        If upon any Liquidation Event the available assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the full amount of the Liquidation Preference on all outstanding Preferred Units, the holders of Common Units shall contribute back to the Company any distributions or other payments received from the Company in connection with a Liquidation Event to the extent necessary to enable the Company to pay all sums payable to the holders of the Preferred Units pursuant to this Agreement.  If, notwithstanding the funds received from the holders of Common Units pursuant to the previous sentence, the available assets of the Company are still insufficient to pay the full amount payable hereunder with respect to all outstanding Preferred Units, then the holders of the Preferred Units shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full Liquidation Preference to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

1.4.3                        After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the holders of Preferred Units will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

 

1.4.4                        Upon the Company’s provision of written notice as to the effective date of any Liquidation Event, accompanied by a check in the amount of the full Liquidation Preference to which each record holder of the Preferred Units is entitled, the Preferred Units shall no longer be deemed outstanding membership interests of the Company and all rights of the holders of such Preferred Units will terminate.  Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the Preferred Units at the respective mailing addresses of such holders as the same shall appear in the records of the Company.

 

1.4.5                        The consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other business enterprise or of any other business enterprise with or into the Company, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute a Liquidation Event; provided, however that any such transaction which results in an amendment, restatement or replacement of this Agreement or the certificate of organization of the Company that has a material adverse effect on the rights and preferences of the Preferred Units, or that increases the number of authorized or issued Preferred Units, shall be deemed a Liquidation Event for purposes of determining whether the Liquidation Preference is payable unless the right to receive payment is waived by holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Units voting as a separate class (excluding any interests that were not issued in a private placement of the Preferred Units conducted by [                        ], LLC).

 

B-4



 

1.4.6                        The Manager, in its sole discretion, may elect not to pay the holders of Preferred Units the sums due pursuant to Section 1.4.1 immediately upon a Liquidation Event but instead choose to first distribute such amounts as may be due to the holders of the Common Units hereunder.  If the Manager elects to exercise this option pursuant to this section, the Manager shall first establish a reserve in an amount equal to 200% of all amounts owed to the holders of the Preferred Units pursuant to this Agreement.  In the event that the sum held in the reserve is insufficient to pay all amounts owed to the holders of the Preferred Units hereunder, the holders of Common Units shall contribute back to the Company any distributions or other payments received from the Company in connection with a Liquidation Event to the extent necessary to enable the Company to pay all sums payable to the holders of the Preferred Units hereunder.  In addition, in the event that the Company elects to establish a reserve for payment of the Liquidation Preference, the Preferred Units shall remain outstanding until the holders thereof are paid the full Liquidation Preference, which payment shall be made no later than immediately prior to the Company making its final liquidating distribution on the Common Units.  In the event that the Redemption Premium in effect on the payment date is less than the Redemption Premium on the date that the Liquidation Preference was set apart for payment, the Company may make a corresponding reduction to the funds set apart for payment of the Liquidation Preference.

 

1.5                                 Redemption.

 

1.5.1                        Right of Optional Redemption.  The Company, at its option, may redeem some or all of the Preferred Units at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to $1,000.00 per unit plus all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption (except as provided in Section 1.5.3 below), plus a redemption premium per unit (each, a “Redemption Premium”) calculated as follows based on the date fixed for redemption: (1) until December 31, 2012, $200; (2) from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, $150; (3) from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, $100; (4) from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, $50 and thereafter, no Redemption Premium.  If less than all of the outstanding Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Preferred Units to be redeemed may be selected by any equitable method determined by the Company provided that such method does not result in the creation of fractional interests.

 

1.5.2                        Limitations on Redemption.  Unless full cumulative distributions on all Preferred Units shall have been, or contemporaneously are, authorized and paid or authorized and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past distribution periods, no Preferred Units shall be redeemed or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Company unless all outstanding Preferred Units are simultaneously redeemed or acquired, and the Company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any Junior Securities of the Company (except by exchange for other Junior Securities); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase by the Company of interests transferred to an Excess Unit Trust for the benefit of a Charitable

 

B-5



 

Beneficiary (as defined in this Agreement) pursuant to Article 6 of this Agreement in order to ensure that the Company remains qualified as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes or the purchase or acquisition of Preferred Units pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Preferred Units.

 

1.5.3                        Rights to Distributions on Units Called for Redemption.  Immediately prior to or upon any redemption of Preferred Units, the Company shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid distributions to and including the redemption date.

 

1.5.4                        Procedures for Redemption.

 

(a)                                  Procedures for Redemption.

 

(i)                                     Upon the Company’s provision of written notice as to the effective date of the redemption, accompanied by a check in the amount of the full Redemption Price through such effective date to which each record holder of Preferred Units is entitled, the Preferred Units shall be redeemed and shall no longer be deemed outstanding the Company and all rights of the holders of such units will terminate.  Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the Preferred Units at the respective mailing addresses of such holders as the same shall appear in the records of the Company.  No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Preferred Units except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

 

(ii)                                  In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall state: (A) the redemption date; (B) the Redemption Price; (C) the number of Preferred Units to be redeemed; and (D) that distributions on the units to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date.  If less than all of the Preferred Units held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of Preferred Units held by such holder to be redeemed.

 

(iii)                               If notice of redemption of any Preferred Units has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Company for the benefit of the holders of any Preferred Units so called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, distributions will cease to accrue on such Preferred Units, such Preferred Units shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such units will terminate, except the right to receive the Redemption Price.  Since the Preferred Units are uncertificated, such units shall be redeemed in accordance with the notice and no further action on the part of the holders of such units shall be required.

 

B-6



 

(iv)          The deposit of funds with a bank or trust corporation for the purpose of redeeming the Preferred Units shall be irrevocable except that:

 

(A)          the Company shall be entitled to receive from such bank or trust corporation the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any money so deposited in trust, and the holders of any units redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings; and

 

(B)           any balance of monies so deposited by the Company and unclaimed by the holders of the Preferred Units entitled thereto at the expiration of two years from the applicable redemption dates shall be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, to the Company, and after any such repayment, the holders of the units entitled to the funds so repaid to the Company shall look only to the Company for payment of the Redemption Price without interest or other earnings.

 

1.5.5        Status of Redeemed Units.  Any Preferred Units that shall at any time have been redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company shall, after such redemption or acquisition, have the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Units which may be issued by the Board of Managers from time to time at its discretion.

 

1.6           Voting Rights.  Except as provided in this Section and in Section 8.1 of the Agreement (relating to the right of the holders of the Preferred Units to vote in connection with the appointment, replacement or removal of Managers), the holders of the Preferred Units shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the Members of the Company for a vote.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Units (excluding any Units that were not issued in a private placement of the Preferred Units conducted by [                  ], LLC), voting as a separate class, shall be required for (a) authorization or issuance of any membership interest or equity security of the Company with any rights that are senior to or have parity with the Preferred Units, (b) any amendment to this Agreement or the Company’s certificate of organization which has a material adverse effect on the rights and preferences of the Preferred Units or which increases the number of authorized or issued Preferred Units, or (c) any reclassification of the Preferred Units.

 

1.7           Conversion.  The Preferred Units are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company.

 

1.8           Limitation of Liability.   Except to the extent required by applicable law, no holder of Preferred Units shall be bound by, or be personally liable for, the expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company in excess of his or her initial capital contribution made in exchange for the Preferred Units.

the Property Entity is contributed as of 12:00 A.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Subsequent Closing Date, and the revenue and expenses of the Property allocable to periods ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date shall be credited to the applicable Inland Party, or charged to the applicable Inland Party, as applicable.  Inland and the Partnership agree to furnish to each other and to PGGM PRE Fund such documents and other records as each party reasonably requests in order to confirm all adjustments and proration calculations made.

 

 

For purposes of preparing the Closing Statement, all prorations shall be made on the basis of amounts billed and expenses accrued as of 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date and will be re-prorated and appropriate adjustments made upon actual receipt of payment of amounts billed and payment of such accrued expenses after the Closing Date.  The following items shall be prorated as provided above, and the provisions of this Section shall survive Closing hereunder:

 

(i)             Real Estate Taxes and Assessments.  Ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments and personal property taxes with respect to the Property for the current calendar year shall be prorated as of 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date, but only to the extent that tenants are not obligated under Leases to reimburse Inland Parties for their allocable share of such taxes and assessments.  The applicable Inland Party shall pay or cause to be paid all installments of assessments levied upon the Property which are due prior to the Closing Date; provided, that to the extent the Property Entity or an Inland Party is entitled to reimbursement for such assessments from a tenant, any amounts received by the Property Entity in respect thereof shall promptly be paid over to the applicable Inland Party.  In the event that tax bills for taxes for the year in which the Closing takes place are not available on the Closing Date, taxes shall be prorated based upon the tax bills for the previous year, and, in such event (or in the event of any reassessment or re-billing thereof), Inland and the Partnership shall re-prorate the taxes when actual tax bills for the current year are available.  All ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments and personal property taxes with respect to the Property for periods prior to the year in which the Closing takes place (which may become payable in the event of any reassessment re-billing thereof, or in the event of any failure of any tax contest maintained by an Inland Party with respect thereto) shall remain the obligation of the applicable Inland Party (and the applicable Inland Party shall be entitled to receive any refund or rebate on any ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments and personal property taxes with respect to the Property for periods prior to the year in which the Closing takes place).

 

35



 

(ii)          Rents.  All rental payments made under the Leases for the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date.  Any checks for rental payments received after the Closing Date by the Inland Parties or their respective agents that relate to periods or portions thereof after the Closing Date shall be promptly endorsed to the Property Entity by the payee thereof and promptly transmitted to the Partnership; if any of such rental payments belong in part to an Inland Party and in part to the Property Entity, upon such endorsement and transmittal (and receipt of collected funds), such checks shall be promptly deposited by the Property Entity or its agent and the part thereof belonging to an Inland Party shall be promptly paid to the applicable Inland Party and the balance shall be retained by the Property Entity.  The parties agree to re-prorate all rental payments for amounts actually received within sixty (60) days following the receipt thereof.

 

(iii)       Past Due Rents.  Any rental payments made under the Leases which, as of the Closing Date, are past due and unpaid and which are received subsequent to the Closing Date by the Property Entity, an Inland Party or their respective agents shall be applied first to pay the current portion of all rental payments due to the Property Entity under the applicable Lease, and then to pay to the applicable Inland Party any portion of such rental payments applicable to the period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date under such Lease.  Upon any payment of such amounts to the applicable Inland Party, a proportionate share of any costs of collection actually incurred by the Property Entity or its Affiliates in connection therewith shall be deducted from such payment.  Following the Closing, the Partnership, through its General Partner and on behalf of the Property Entity, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to commence an action or proceeding against a tenant, guarantor or other party or to terminate any Lease or seek any remedy against any tenant.

 

(iv)      Post-Closing Adjustment Payments and CAM Reconciliation.  To the extent any Inland Party has received as of the close of business on the Closing Date any monthly or periodic payments of common area maintenance charges, property taxes, insurance and other operating cost pass-throughs payable by tenants (collectively, “Operating Expenses”) allocable to periods subsequent to 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date, the same shall be prorated and the Property Entity shall receive a

 

36



 

credit therefor at Closing.  With respect to any monthly or periodic payments of Operating Expenses received by the Property Entity after the Closing Date allocable to a period prior to the close of business on the Closing Date, the Property Entity shall promptly pay or cause the same to be paid to the applicable Inland Party (subject to Section 9(a)(iii)).

 

(v)         Inland Parties’ Collection Rights.  Except as provided in Section 9(a)(iii) of this Agreement, from and after the Closing Date, the Inland Parties shall have the right to collect and receive for their own accounts any rental payments that are due and payable as of the Closing Date.  The Inland Parties’ right of collection shall include, without limitation, the right to commence an action or proceeding against a tenant, guarantor or other party (provided that Inland gives the Partnership at least ten (10) days’ notice before commencing any action or proceeding against any tenant or guarantor), provided that (A) Inland agrees not to institute a summary disposition or eviction action against any tenant or to terminate any Lease based on such tenant’s non-payment of rents or any other amounts due for periods prior to the Closing Date, and (B) Inland, on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be entitled or seek any remedy against any tenant, including seeking a monetary judgment against the delinquent tenant and enforcement of such judgment, relating to any period after the Closing Date, in any event without the prior written consent of PGGM PRE Fund.

 

(vi)      Security Deposits.  Inland shall cause to be transferred to the account of the Property Entity at Closing an amount equal to all cash tenant deposits then outstanding under the Leases.  With respect to non-cash tenant deposits, a list of which is attached hereto as Schedule 9(a)-1, Inland shall, at Inland’s expense (A) cause to be delivered to the Property Entity at the Closing such non-cash tenant deposits, and (B) execute and deliver such other instruments as are necessary to cause such non-cash tenant deposits to be payable to the Property Entity upon presentation in accordance with their terms.  If such transfer to the Property Entity’s name cannot be accomplished simply by assignment by the applicable Inland Party at Closing, Inland shall have such time as is reasonably necessary to deliver the necessary transfer documents so long as the applicable Inland Party promptly commences, prior to the Closing Date, the action necessary to accomplish such transfer and diligently pursues it to completion.  If, prior to the date Inland properly transfers the non-cash tenant deposits to the Property Entity, the Partnership notifies Inland that the Property Entity requires a non-cash tenant deposit to be drawn or

 

37



 

cashed, Inland will promptly, as agent for the Property Entity, take the required action (or cause such action to be taken) and deliver all proceeds to the Property Entity, provided that the Partnership indemnifies Inland from any loss on account of such action taken at the direction of the Partnership (except where any such loss results from Inland’s gross negligence or willful misconduct).

 

(vii)   Advance Rent.  Inland shall cause to be transferred to the account of the Property Entity at Closing an amount equal to all rental payments made in advance (to the extent not prorated as set forth above).

 

(viii)                Insurance Premiums.  Insurance premiums with respect to insurance policies carried by the Inland Parties with respect to the Property shall be prorated as of the close of business on the Closing Date.  Schedule 9(a)-2 lists the current insurance premiums for insurance policies carried by the Inland Parties with respect to the Property, which list shall form the basis for the proration of insurance premiums under this Section 9(a)(viii).  The Partnership, Property Entity, or REIT Entity, or all of them, at the request of PGGM PRE Fund, may be added to the insurance policies currently held by the Inland Parties and the Property Entity shall pay that portion of the insurance premiums for such policies that are attributable to the Property for the period following the Closing Date (provided, that insurance premiums paid prior to the close of business on the Closing Date for which an Inland Party has received reimbursement from tenants under Leases shall not be prorated to the extent of such reimbursement and insurance premiums paid after the close of business on the Closing Date that relate to any period prior to 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date for which the Property Entity has received reimbursement from tenants under Leases shall not be prorated to the extent of such reimbursement).  The Property Entity shall pay all amounts necessary in order to cause the insurance carrier or carriers of such policies to endorse the policies to name the Property Entity as a named insured.

 

(ix)        Utility Deposits.  Inland shall receive a credit on the Closing Date for the amount of any utility deposits made by an Inland Party which are not refundable to such Inland Party by the holder thereof and which deposits are transferred or transferable to the Property Entity at Closing.

 

(x)           Contract Payments.  Any amounts paid or payable under any Contract that are allocable both to periods ending as of 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date

 

38



 

and periods beginning as of 12:00 A.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Subsequent Closing Date shall be prorated so that the portion thereof allocable to periods beginning as of 12:00 A.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Subsequent Closing Date shall be charged to the Property Entity and the portion thereof allocable to periods ending as of 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date shall be charged to the applicable Inland Party.  Following the Closing, and in any event, within ninety (90) days following receipt of payment pursuant to the Contracts, Inland shall provide the Partnership with a final reconciliation showing all payments made under the Contracts and any payments made to or from Inland Parties in reconciliation of same.

 

(xi)        Lease-Up Costs and Commissions.  Lease-Up Costs relating to Leases executed on or after                           , 2010 (the “Valuation Date”), to the extent not previously amortized prior to the Closing Date, shall be, from and after the Closing Date, amortized by the Partnership.  Commissions now or hereafter due with respect to the current term of any Lease executed on or after the Valuation Date and in existence on the Closing Date shall be prorated so that the portion thereof allocable to periods beginning as of 12:00 A.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Subsequent Closing Date shall be charged to the Property Entity and the portion thereof allocable to periods ending on or before 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date shall be charged to and paid by Inland.  All prepaid Commissions relating to Leases entered into on or subsequent to the Valuation Date, to the extent not previously amortized prior to the Closing Date and relating to periods after the Closing Date, shall be, from and after the Closing Date, amortized by the Property Entity.  All Lease-Up Costs and Commissions due with respect to future or renewal terms or expansion leases following the Closing Date under any Lease shall be paid, when due and payable, by the Partnership. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Property Entity shall not, without PGGM PRE Fund’s approval (which approval shall be given or withheld in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement), enter into new Qualifying Leases which are not approved in the annual Business Plan (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement) or extend or modify existing Qualifying Leases which are not approved in the annual Business Plan.  The Property Entity shall have the right to enter into, extend or modify non-Qualifying Leases provided that such non-Qualifying Lease or extension or modification of a non-

 

39



 

Qualifying Lease is approved by the Partnership in accordance with the Property Management Agreement (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

 

(xii)     Concessions.  All Concessions in the nature of out-of-pocket costs or expenses now or hereafter due with respect to the current term of any Lease entered into on or after the Valuation Date and in existence on the Closing Date shall be prorated so that the portion thereof allocable to periods beginning as of 12:00 A.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Subsequent Closing Date shall be charged to the Property Entity and the portion thereof allocable to periods ending as of 11:59 P.M. [CHICAGO LOCAL TIME/CENTRAL TIME] on the Closing Date shall be charged to the applicable Inland Party.  All Concessions due with respect to future or renewal terms or expansion leases following the Closing Date under any Lease shall be paid, when due and payable by (or the economic cost thereof borne by), the Partnership.

 

(b)           Reprorations after Closing Date.

 

(i)             Amounts Unavailable as of Closing Date.  In the event that the actual amounts of any of the proration items set forth in Section 9(a) of this Agreement are unavailable as of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be made on the basis of an amount reasonably estimated by the Partnership and Inland on the Closing Date, and the Partnership and Inland shall thereupon re-prorate such items at such times as the exact amounts for such proration items become available.

 

(ii)          Year-End Adjustments.  In the event various prorations provided for herein are inconsistent with the actual amounts reimbursed for such prorated amounts by tenants to an Inland Party, or the Property Entity, such items shall be re-prorated when all amounts required for accurate prorations become available.  For example, in the event that all real estate taxes for the year 2010 are reimbursed by tenants, and the total real property tax reimbursements from tenants that are paid to the Property Entity following the Closing for the year 2010 result in the Property Entity receiving more, or less, than the amount allocated to the Property Entity in the prorations at Closing, then the amounts shall be re-prorated between Inland and the Property Entity so that the amount prorated to the Property Entity is the same as the amount reimbursed, or reimbursable by tenants for such real property taxes allocated to the Property Entity in the initial proration.

 

40



 

(iii)       Other Adjustments.  In the event of any other post-Closing adjustment of prorations, including without limitation any changes resulting from a tenant challenging the amount of common area or any other charges paid by such tenant, or in the event that the Partnership otherwise reasonably determines that such amounts charged to and paid by such tenant were incorrect, Inland and the Property Entity shall pay the amount due as a result of such adjustment based on the principles set forth herein.

 

(iv)      Limitations on Reprorations.  All reprorations shall be deemed final unless Inland or the Partnership notifies the other within ninety (90) days following the receipt by such party of a reproration amount and a statement in support of same.

 

10.           Defaults and Remedies.

 

(a)           Defaults.  The following events shall be “Defaults” under this Agreement: (i) a party’s breach of any of its covenants, representations or warranties; or (ii) a party’s failure to perform its obligation to make its contribution to the Partnership under circumstances where all of its conditions to close have been satisfied.

 

(b)           Notice.  Upon learning of the occurrence of a Default, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11, the non-defaulting party shall provide the defaulting party and the Partnership with notice of such Default (a “Default Notice”) and the defaulting party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice in which to cure such Default.  Should the defaulting party fail to cure within that period, the non-defaulting party’s remedies hereunder shall be as provided herein.

 

(c)           Default Prior to Closing Date.  If the non-defaulting party receives knowledge of the Default prior to the Closing Date, then the non-defaulting party’s sole remedy shall be to terminate the Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement by the non-defaulting party pursuant to this Section 10(c), the parties shall owe no further obligations or liabilities to one another in connection with the Agreement.  If a non-defaulting party elects to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding a Default of which the non-defaulting party had knowledge as of the Closing Date, the consummation thereof shall effect a waiver of such Default.

 

(d)           Default Upon Party’s Failure of Performance.  Should a Default occur pursuant to Section 10(a)(ii), this Agreement shall terminate and the parties’ rights and remedies with respect to a failure of a party to make a Capital Contribution shall be governed solely by the Partnership Agreement.

 

(e)           Default Subsequent to Closing Date.  For any Default for breaches of representations and warranties of which the non-defaulting party becomes aware

 

41



 

subsequent to the Closing Date, the Partnership shall be entitled to monetary damages as set forth in Section 11, below, subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth therein.

 

11.           Damages.  {Note:  Stand-alone indemnity provisions without caps or baskets to be added to address any items that are identified on schedules as exceptions to the representations, such as Tax or Environmental Matters.  To be addressed at the time the contribution agreement for an applicable Property is prepared.}

 

(a)           Survival.  The representations and warranties of the parties shall survive for the periods set forth in Sections 5(a)(iii), 5(e), 5(k), 5(p) and 6(b).  For convenience of reference, the date upon which any representation or warranty contained herein shall terminate, is referred to herein as the “Survival Date”.  No claim shall be brought under this Section 11 unless the non-defaulting party, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, gives the defaulting party the Default Notice as described in Section 10(b).

 

(b)           Limits.

 

(i)             The defaulting party shall not be liable  in respect of any Default for breaches of representations and warranties unless and until the aggregate damages incurred by the Partnership or the Property Entity as a result of all such Defaults for breaches of representations and warranties exceeds an amount equal to an amount to be agreed among Inland, PGGM PRE Fund and the Partnership (the “Basket Amount”).

 

(ii)          The parties acknowledge and agree that the maximum aggregate liability of the defaulting party for damages incurred by the Partnership or the Property Entity as a result of a Default for breaches of representations and warranties shall not exceed an amount to be agreed among Inland, PGGM PRE Fund and the Partnership  (the “Cap Amount”).

 

(iii)       Any damages payable to the Partnership as a result of a Default shall be decreased by  any amounts actually received by the Partnership or the Property Entity under its own or third party insurance policies with respect to such loss, net of any deductibles or co-payments paid by the Partnership or the Property Entity under the relevant insurance policy, any “retro-premium” obligations in connection with such loss and any costs incurred by the Partnership in procuring such payment under such policy (the “Net Insurance Proceeds”), each party agreeing (x) to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover all available insurance proceeds and (y) to the extent that any payment of damages under this Section has been paid by the defaulting party to or on behalf of the Partnership or the Property Entity prior to the

 

42



 

receipt, directly or indirectly, by the Partnership or the Property Entity of any Net Insurance Proceeds under any insurance policies on account of such loss which duplicate, in whole or in part, the payment made by the defaulting party to or on behalf of the Partnership or the Property Entity, the Partnership or the Property Entity shall remit to the defaulting party an amount equal to the amount of the Net Insurance Proceeds actually received by the Partnership or the Property Entity on account of such Loss which duplicate, in whole or in part, the payment made by the defaulting party to or on behalf of the Partnership or the Property Entity.

 

(iv)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 11(b) shall not apply to any claims arising out of a breach of representations or warranties resulting from fraud or intentional misstatement or a breach of any representations and warranties contained in Sections 5(a)(iv) and 5(k) of this Agreement and defaulting party shall be liable for all damages, excluding incidental and consequential damages, with respect thereto.

 

(v)         The provisions set forth in this Section 11 shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties for any damages arising out of or related to a Default for breaches of representations and warranties.

 

12.           Waivers.

 

(a)           PGGM PRE Fund and Inland reserve the right to waive any or all the conditions precedent to performance of their respective obligations hereunder.  No such waiver, modifications, amendment, discharge or change in this Agreement, except as otherwise provided hereunder, shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party waiving same.

 

(b)           This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and can only be modified by written agreement signed by the Partnership, and both Inland and PGGM PRE Fund.

Description

 

Explanation

 

 

 

 

 

1

 

Gross Asset Value of fund (incl pro rata share in joint ventures)

 

The Gross asset value of a fund is the gross property value plus the value of any further assets at market value as per the chosen valuation principles

 

 

 

 

 

2

 

Net Asset Value of fund as reported by the manager

 

The Net asset value of a fund is its GAV less all liabilities as per the chosen valuation principles

 

 

 

 

 

3

 

Capital invested

 

Capital contributed in fund -/- returned to investor

 

 

 

 

 

4

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

All highly liquid short-term investments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less are considered to be cash equivalents

 

 

 

 

 

5

 

Total number of outstanding shares

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a - m) Corrections should only be made if local GAAP is not in line with INREV valuation principles

 

 

 

 

 

I

 

Effect of exercise of options, convertibles and other equity interests

 

For the determination of the INREV NAV any dilution following the exercise of options, convertibles and other equity interest should be included in the calculation

 

 

 

 

 

II

 

Effect of not yet distributed dividend recorded as a liability (not included in equity)

 

Under certain circumstances not yet distributed dividends are recorded as a liability. For the determination of the INREV NAV these not yet distributed dividends should be included in the calculation

 

 

 

 

 

a

 

Revaluation to fair value of investment properties

 

If a real estate fund uses the option to account for investment properties under the cost mode, the adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the revaluation of the investment property to fair value. The effect of straight lining of lease incentives, rent guarantees, insurance claims (for damages, lost rent, etc.) should be taken into account when valuing the property at fair value to ensure that any asset is not double counted in the NAV

 

 

 

 

 

b

 

Revaluation to fair value of self-constructed or developed investment property

 

If a real estate fund measures their self-constructed or developed investment property at cost until the construction or development is complete, the adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the step up or increase from cost at completion to fair value. The fair value of forward commitments should also be taken into account.

 

 

 

 

 

c

 

Revaluation to fair value of property intended for sale

 

Property under this category is generally measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value in the financial statements. The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the revaluation of the property intended for sale, measured at cost, to fair value

 

62



 

d

 

Fair value of property that is leased to tenants under a financial lease

 

Property that is leased to tenants under a finance lease is initially measured at the net investment and subsequently based on a pattern reflecting the constant rate of return. The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the revaluation of the finance leases to fair value

 

 

 

 

 

e

 

Transfer taxes and purchasers’ costs

 

The effect of a possible sale of shares of a property vehicle might be taken into account when determining the deduction of transfer taxes and purchasers costs (if this will lower the actual transfer tax and/or purchasers costs to be paid upon sale by the seller). The adjustment represents the positive impact on NAV of the possible reduction on the transfer taxes and purchasers costs for the seller based on the expected sale via the sale of shares. Disclosure should be given on how the fund manger expects to utilise this additional value based on the current structure and market circumstances

 

 

 

 

 

f

 

Revaluation to fair value of fixed rate debt

 

Debt is generally initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method in the financial statements. The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the measurement of all debt and related re-financing expenses to the fair value after first time measurement as at balance sheet date

 

 

 

 

 

g

 

Deferred tax

 

Under GAAP deferred tax (assets and liabilities) can be measured at the nominal statutory tax rate. The manner in which the fund expects to settle deferred tax is generally not taken into consideration. The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the deferred tax for properties or derivative financial instruments based on the expected manner of settlement i.e. when tax structures have been applied to reduce tax on capital gains or allowances, this should be taken into consideration. Where goodwill is included in the balance sheet as the result of a deferred tax liability that is eliminated as a result of the above adjustment, the goodwill related to this deferred tax should be excluded from the INREV NAV. Since the tax structure of funds differs from fund to fund and no general market practice is currently available, no recommendation on the calculation methodology for this adjustment is included in this section.

 

 

 

 

 

h

 

Set-up costs

 

Under GAAP set-up costs can be charged immediately to income after the start/inception of a fund. The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the capitalisation and amortisation of set-up costs over the first 5 years of the term of the fund. If a fund manager wants to deviate from the amortisation period to be more in line with the investment strategy of the fund, another amortisation period could be taken into account

 

 

 

 

 

i

 

Acquisition expenses

 

Under the fair value model, acquisition expenses of investment property might be partly charged to income as fair value changes at the first subsequent measurement date after acquisition. This is when the fair value at the moment of measurement is lower than the total amount of the purchase value of the property and the acquisition expenses. The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the capitalisation and amortisation of acquisition expenses over the first 5 years after acquisition of the property. If a fund manager wants to deviate from the amortisation period to be more in line with the investment strategy of the fund, another amortisation period could be taken into account

 

 

 

 

 

j

 

Contractual fees

 

A liability represents a present obligation. A fee payable at the end of the life time of the fund or any other moment during the life time of the fund may not meet the criteria for recognition of a provision or liability in accordance with GAAP at the moment the accounts are prepared. Examples of such fees include performance fees, disposal fees, liquidation fees, representing a present obligation from contractual arrangements. For these contractual fees, the adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the deferred liability for the estimated contractual fee payable based on the current NAV of the fund if these fees are not already recognised

 

 

 

 

 

k

 

Tax effect of the adjustments

 

This adjustment represents the tax impact on NAV of the above mentioned adjustments if not already taken into account in the adjustment of deferred taxes

 

 

 

 

 

l

 

Minority interest effects on the above adjustments

 

This adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the combined effect of the recognition of minority interest on all the above adjustments (the INREV NAV is net of minority interest)

 

63



 

m

 

Revaluation to fair value of derivative financial instruments held for hedging

 

The adjustment represents the impact on NAV of the recognition of derivative financial instruments measured at fair value

IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained,                                                         , L.L.C., a                        limited liability company (“OWNER”) and Inland TRS Property Management, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“MANAGER”), agree as follows:

 

1.             OWNER hereby employs the MANAGER exclusively to rent, lease, operate and manage the property commonly known as     shopping center name                               located at     shopping center address                        ,    City    ,     State   , and legally described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Premises”), upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, for a term beginning on   Purchase closing date  , and ending on December 31, same year and thereafter for successive three year renewal periods, commencing on January 1,   calendar year following purchase closing date  , continuing until the Premises is sold.  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, OWNER may terminate this Agreement at any time upon delivery of written notice to MANAGER not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination, in the event of (and only in the event of) a showing by OWNER of willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or deliberate malfeasance by MANAGER in the performance of MANAGER’S duties hereunder (“Cause”).  In addition, the general partner of INP Retail, L.P. may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days prior written

 

74



 

notice to Manager.  In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the expiration of its original term or any renewal term, the OWNER shall indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold the MANAGER and all of its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, managers, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, “Manager Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, suits, proceedings, loss, judgments, damage, awards, liens, fines, costs, attorney’s fees and expenses, of every kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Losses”), which may be imposed on or incurred by the MANAGER by reason of the willful misconduct, gross negligence and/or unlawful acts (such unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of OWNER.

 

2.             THE MANAGER AGREES:

 

2.1           To accept the management of the Premises, to the extent, for the period, and upon the terms herein provided and agrees to furnish the services of its organization for the rental, leasing, operation and management of the Premises, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the MANAGER agrees to be responsible for those specific duties and functions set forth in Section 3 hereof.  MANAGER shall at all times manage the Premises diligently and in accordance with the reasonable criteria established from time to time by Owner, in each case using the same standard of care, devotion of time, diligence and prudence used by MANAGER in the conduct of business for its own and its affiliates account.  The management services to be performed by MANAGER under this Agreement shall be of a scope and quality equivalent to or

 

75



 

exceeding the performance of professional managers of similar commercial properties of comparable class and size in the greater metropolitan area in which the Premises is located.  MANAGER agrees to operate and maintain the Premises as a high quality, first-class property in an efficient, economical and business-like manner consistent with the goal of maximizing both the value of the Premises and Owner’s profits from the Premises.  Manager shall, during the term and subject to any limitations imposed by the approved budget, perform Owner’s obligations with respect to the Premises, use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the highest occupancy at the highest rents for each space comprising the Premises, and agrees that it shall in good faith in accordance with generally accepted management standards in the shopping center industry consistent with other properties managed by the MANAGER, perform its obligations and duties hereunder. MANAGER shall make available to OWNER the full benefit of the judgment, experience and advice of the officers and employees of MANAGER.  MANAGER shall perform such other services as may be reasonably requested by OWNER that are consistent with the standard of performance discussed in this Section 2.1 in managing, operating, leasing, supervising and maintaining the Premises.

 

2.2           To render monthly reports for the Premises to the OWNER, to the attention of the individual and address as directed by the OWNER from time to time, and to remit to the OWNER the excess of Gross Income (as defined in Section 3.3 hereof) over expenses paid per Section 3.4 hereof (“Net Proceeds”) for each month on or before the 15th day of the following month.  MANAGER will remit the Net Proceeds to the OWNER at the address as stated in

 

76



 

Section 6.1 hereof.  The reports to be submitted shall consist of the MANAGER’S Commercial Income Report and Budget Variance Report, (samples of which are attached as “Exhibit B”) and such other monthly, quarterly and annual reports as are customary in commercial property management relationships and as reasonably requested by OWNER in writing from time to time.

 

2.3           In case the expenses paid per Section 3.4 hereof shall be in excess of the Gross Income for any monthly period, MANAGER shall notify OWNER of  same and OWNER agrees to pay such excess immediately upon request from the MANAGER, but nothing herein contained shall obligate the MANAGER to advance its own funds on behalf of the OWNER.  All advances by MANAGER on behalf of OWNER shall be paid to MANAGER by OWNER within ten (10) days after request.

 

2.4           To prepare and submit same to the OWNER for approval proposed detailed annualized capital and operating budgets for the Premises.  Such budgets shall be for planning and informational purposes only, and the MANAGER shall have no liability to the OWNER for any failure to meet any such budget except as a result of the willful misconduct, gross negligence and/or unlawful acts of the MANAGER.  However, MANAGER will use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Premises within the approved budget.  The parties acknowledge that the first such budget has been prepared and approved for the year commencing   Purchase closing date and ending on December 31, calendar year in which Purchase closing date takes place.  Notwithstanding the period covered by the first budget, all subsequent annual budgets

 

77



 

shall cover the period from January 1st of each year through December 31st of such year.  The proposed annual budget for each calendar year shall be submitted by MANAGER to the OWNER by November 1st of the year preceding the year for which it applies, together with sufficient backup, in reasonable detail, for projected income, costs and expenses set forth therein.  OWNER shall notify MANAGER no later than November 10th as to whether OWNER has approved the proposed annual budget or not.  If the OWNER disapproves the proposed budget, the OWNER shall notify the MANAGER of what, specifically, OWNER disapproves of, and the OWNER and MANAGER shall make the necessary amendments to the annual budget.  During the time OWNER and MANAGER are preparing these amendments, MANAGER will continue to operate the Premises according to the last approved budget.  The OWNER’S approval of the annual budget shall constitute approval for the MANAGER to expend sums for all budgeted expenditures, without the necessity to obtain additional approval of the OWNER under any other expenditure limitations as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

2.5           Subject to the limitations of this Agreement, to comply with and perform all of Owner’s obligations:

87



 

hold the MANAGER Indemnified Parties harmless from any and all claims, causes of action, demands, suits, proceedings, loss, judgments, damage, awards, liens, fines, costs, attorney’s fees and expenses, of every kind and nature whatsoever, involving, concerning or in any way related to any past, current or future allegations regarding treatment, depositing, storage, disposal or placement by any party other than MANAGER of hazardous substances on the Premises.

governmental body or any order or ruling of any public authority or official thereof having or claiming to have jurisdiction thereover, and the MANAGER, in its sole and absolute discretion, considers that the action or position of the OWNER, with respect thereto may result in damage or liability to the MANAGER, the MANAGER shall have the right to cancel this Agreement at any time by written notice to the OWNER of its election so to do, which cancellation shall be effective upon the service of such notice.  Such notice may be served personally or by registered mail, on or to the person named to receive the MANAGER’S monthly statement at the address designated for such person as provided in Paragraph 6.1 above, and if served by mail shall be deemed to have been served when deposited in the mails.  Such cancellation shall not release the indemnities of the OWNER set forth in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Paragraphs 1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2 and 6.3 above and shall not terminate any liability or obligation of the OWNER to the MANAGER for any payment, reimbursement, or other sum of money then due and payable to the MANAGER hereunder.

 

6.5           All personnel expenses, including but not limited to, wages, salaries, insurance, fringe benefits, employment related taxes and other governmental charges, shall be charges incurred in connection with the Premises for purposes of Paragraph 3.5 hereof, to the extent such expenses are apportioned by the MANAGER to services rendered for the benefit of the Premises.  The number and classification of employees serving the Premises shall be as determined by the MANAGER to be appropriate for the proper operation of the Premises; provided that the OWNER may request changes in the number and/or classifications of employees, and the

 

92



 

MANAGER shall make such changes unless in its judgment the resulting level of operation and/or maintenance of the Premises will be inadequate.  The MANAGER shall honor any collective bargaining contract covering employment at the Premises which is in effect upon the date of execution of this Agreement; provided that the MANAGER shall not assume or otherwise become a party to such contract for any purpose whatsoever and all personnel subject to such contract shall be considered the employees of the Premises and not the MANAGER.

 

6.6           The MANAGER shall not institute or settle any material litigation involving the Premises or Owner without the Owner’s Consent.

 

7.             The OWNER shall pay or reimburse the MANAGER for any sums of money due it under this Agreement for services and advances prior to termination of this Agreement.  All provisions of this Agreement that require the OWNER to have insured, or to protect, defend, save, hold and indemnify or to reimburse the MANAGER shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement and, if MANAGER is or becomes involved in any claim, proceeding or litigation by reason of having been the MANAGER of the OWNER, such provisions shall apply as if this Agreement were still in effect.  The parties understand and agree that the MANAGER may withhold funds for sixty (60) days after the end of the month in which this Agreement is terminated in an amount not to exceed that reasonably necessary to pay bills previously incurred but not yet invoiced and to close accounts.  Should the funds withheld be insufficient to meet the obligation of the MANAGER to pay bills previously incurred, the

 

93



 

OWNER will upon demand advance sufficient funds to the MANAGER to ensure fulfillment of MANAGER’S obligation to do so, within ten (10) days of receipt of notice and an itemization of such unpaid bills.

 

8.             Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any rights in third parties who are not the parties to this Agreement, save and except that the general partner of INP Retail, L.P. (“Partnership”) acting under its authority under, or the limited partner of the Partnership acting pursuant to the ruling of an arbitrator that the general partner has failed to act as provided for in, the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, shall have the right to exercise the OWNER’S rights and remedies hereunder in the event of a Manager Event, as defined herein.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to impose any liability upon OWNER or MANAGER for the performance by the OWNER or MANAGER under any other agreement they have entered into or may in the future enter into, without the express written consent of the other having been obtained.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between OWNER and MANAGER or to cause either party to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of the other or any other party (but nothing contained herein shall affect MANAGER’S responsibility to transmit payments for the account of OWNER as provided herein), it being the intention of the parties that the only relationship hereunder is that of MANAGER and principal.

 

94



 

9.             Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement, its validity, performance and enforcement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.

 

10.           This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the MANAGER and the heirs, administrators, executors, successors, and assignees of the OWNER.  This Agreement contains the entire Agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are no understandings, representations or undertakings by either party except as herein contained.  This Agreement may be modified solely by a written agreement executed by both parties hereto.

 

11.           If any party hereto defaults under the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the defaulting party shall pay the non-defaulting party’s court costs and attorney’s fees incurred in the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement.

 

12.           The failure of either party to this Agreement to, in any one or more instances, insist upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, or to exercise any rights or privileges conferred in this Agreement, shall not be construed as thereafter

 

95



 

waiving any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred.

 

13.           During the performance of this Agreement, MANAGER shall not discriminate unlawfully against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, age or sex.  MANAGER shall insure that the evaluation and treatment of employees and applicants for employment are free of such discrimination.  MANAGER shall comply with the provisions of all applicable Federal and the laws of the state in which the Property is located with respect to fair employment and leasing statutes and all regulations promulgated thereunder.  MANAGER shall include the nondiscrimination and compliance provisions of this clause in any agreements with contractors and subcontractors engaged by MANAGER to perform work under this Agreement.

 

14.           MANAGER shall indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold the OWNER and all of its members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, managers, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, “Owner Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, injury, damage and expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) that an Owner Indemnified Party may incur or suffer by reason of (i) MANAGER’S material breach of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) MANAGER’S material adverse actions taken outside the scope of MANAGER’S authority hereunder; (iii) any intentional misrepresentation of material

facts by MANAGER during the term of this Agreement, and (iv) the gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct and/or unlawful acts (such unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of MANAGER, its officers, employees or agents (“Manager Event”).

Leasing Fee (Inland Affiliate): The “Leasing Fee” shall be a market standard leasing commission based on a sliding scale ranging from $4.00/sf for leases below 2,500 square fee, to $2.00/sf for leased of 20,000 square feet or more for new tenants.  Commissions for renewing tenants will be 50% of the above.  A market standard 50% override will be paid to the Inland Affiliate in the event that a cooperating broker represents the tenant and is paid a market full commission.  The Leasing Fee shall be more particularly set forth in the Leasing Agreement.

 

Property Management Fee (Inland Affiliate): The “Property Management Fee” shall be on annual fee equal to 4.5% of gross collected revenues, some portion of which is to be reimbursed by each Property’s tenants via common area maintenance pass-through billings.  The Inland Affiliate will not charge the Partnership additional fees for administration, accounting, property related in-house tax and legal activities or construction management.  Any third party out-of-pocket legal or other consulting fees incurred in the normal course of managing the properties will be expenses of the Partnership.  The Property Management Fee shall be more particularly set forth in the Property Management Agreement.

 

Acquisition Fee (Inland): The “Acquisition Fee” shall be equal to twenty-five (25) basis points multiplied by the equity portion of the purchase price of the Additional Property, to be paid at closing of the purchase of each Additional Property, which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include Four Flaggs.

 

Financing Fee (Inland, Inland Affiliate):  The “Financing Fee” shall be equal to twenty-five (25) basis points multiplied by the amount of the Financing, for any new mortgage loans that such party arranges for an Owned Property; provided however, that if at any time prior to the 2-year anniversary of the acquisition of such Additional Property the Partnership obtains post-acquisition Financing with respect to such Additional Property (“Post-Acquisition Financing”) then, should Inland or an Inland Affiliate otherwise be entitled to a Financing Fee with respect to such Post-Acquisition Financing, said Financing Fee will not be due from the Partnership; save and except to the extent that such Post-Acquisition Financing replaces Financing in existence as of or created as of the acquisition of the Additional Property for which Inland or an Inland Affiliate did not receive a Financing Fee.  Should the Partnership be obligated to pay a fee to an unaffiliated third party for procuring such Post-Acquisition Financing during said 2-year period (a “Third Party Fee”), then provided (i) the amount financed by such Post-Acquisition Financing exceeds the amount of Financing for which a Financing Fee has previously been paid, if any (“Excess Financing”); and (ii) the Financing is not a financing of property value greater than the purchase price paid at the closing of the acquisition of the Additional Property, then as to the portion of the Third Party Fee related to the Excess Financing (“Rebated Third Party

 



 

Fee”), Inland or an Inland Affiliate shall rebate to the Partnership an amount in cash equal to the lesser of: (x) the Rebated Third Party Fee, or (y) the Acquisition Fee previously paid to Inland or an Inland Affiliate with respect to such Additional Property within 10 Business Days of the closing of such Post-Acquisition Financing.

APPRAISALS

 

1.             The following capitalized terms shall have the meaning specified in this EXHIBIT 11.5-A:

 

Appraisal” shall mean a self-contained appraisal report prepared by an Appraiser in accordance with this EXHIBIT 11.5-A and, to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in accordance with then prevailing Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

 

Appraiser” shall mean a fit and impartial MAI designated, licensed appraiser person having not less than fifteen (15) years’ experience as an appraiser of Qualified Properties.  The Appraisers shall be rotated every three years.

 

Fair Market Value” means the sum of (i) the appraised value of all Owned Properties, (ii) the fair value of debt instruments owned and held as determined by discounting the future contractual cash flows to the present value using current market interest rates and anticipated returns a market participant would incur with similar risk and terms, and (iii) the fair market value of all other Partnership assets, all as determined as determined by Appraisal in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

 

2.             The General Partner shall obtain and submit to the Partners annually Appraisals of each Owned Property, with approximately 25% of the portfolio of Owned Properties to be appraised each calendar quarter. For internal use only, the General Partner shall update the Appraisals on at least a quarterly basis based on changes in factors such as occupancy levels, lease rates, overall market conditions, capital improvements and financial and leasing updates provided by property and asset management and submit such updates to the Partners. No appraisal will be required prior to the closing of each new investment.  Prior to its first appraisal, an acquired Property will be valued at cost plus capital expenditures less liabilities.  The Appraiser preparing such annual and quarterly Appraisals shall be selected by the General Partner with the consent and approval of Limited Partners as a Major Decision, and the cost of obtaining such Appraisals shall be a Partnership Expense.

 

3.             If (A) either Inland or PGGM PRE Fund (i) notifies the other and the General Partner that it disagrees with the NAV set forth in the quarterly reports and Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.2, as described in Section 11.5(c)(i), or (ii) exercises a Put Option pursuant to Section 11.5(d), or (B) Inland requests in kind distributions as described in Section 13.4, Inland and PGGM PRE Fund shall make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint an Appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value through an Appraisal.  If Inland and PGGM PRE Fund are unable to agree upon a single Appraiser, then each of the parties shall, within 10 Business Days after the exercise of an Option pursuant to Section 11.5 or Inland’s request pursuant to Section 13.14, select an Appraiser.  The two (2) Appraisers so appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days after their

 



 

appointment, appoint a third Appraiser, who shall determine the Fair Market Value by an Appraisal.  The determination of the single Appraiser or of third Appraiser shall be made within thirty (30) days after such Appraiser’s appointment.  The determination of the Fair Market Value by such Appraiser shall be binding upon, the Partnership, the General Partner, Inland and PGGM PRE Fund and such Fair Market Value shall be the “Fair Market Value” for purposes of Section 13.4 and be the basis for determination of the Purchase Price for purposes of Section 11.5.  If either Inland or PGGM PRE Fund fails to appoint an Appraiser within the time period specified above, the Appraiser appointed by one of them shall determine the Fair Market Value, and such determination shall be binding upon, the Partnership, the General Partner, Inland and PGGM PRE Fund.  The cost of the Appraisers and the Appraisal shall be a Partnership Expense.

(d)           No Violation.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of the Investor’s obligations hereunder do not conflict with and will not result in any violation of or default under any provision of any other agreement or instrument to which the Investor is a party or any license, permit, franchise, judgment, order, writ or decree, or any statute, rule or regulation, applicable to the Investor, in each case, other than such as would not have a material adverse effect on the Investor.

 

(e)           Disclosure.  The Investor has received and has had the opportunity to review the SEC Reports.  There have been no other representations or information (whether oral or written) from the Company, or any officer, advisor or agent, or any other person representing the Company other than as set forth in this Agreement or the SEC Reports regarding the Subscribed Shares or an investment therein.  The Investor has read and understands the risk factors contained in the SEC Reports.  Specifically, the Investor acknowledges that although the Subscribed Shares will be registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the Company makes no representation or warranty that the Subscribed Shares may actually be sold in the open market or in a private sale.

 

(f)            Reliance.  Investor acknowledges that the Company is relying on the representations and warranties made by the Investor herein and thus Investor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its successors, assigns, directors, officers and agents, harmless against any and all loss, damage, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, which they or any of them may suffer, sustain or incur by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or agreement made by Investor herein.

(b)           Hedging.  The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the Investor from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to, or result in, a sale or disposition of the Subscribed Shares even if the Subscribed Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the Investor.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any

 



 

right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Subscribed Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Subscribed Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit (i) the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Partnership Agreement or (ii) the conversion of any equity security held by the Investor into shares of Common Stock.

 

(c)           Investor Action Affecting Subscribed Shares.  The Investor further represents and agrees that the Investor has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which would reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Subscribed Shares, or which has otherwise constituted or will constitute any prohibited bid for or purchase of the Subscribed Shares or any related securities.

 

(d)           Termination.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

RIRE

 



 

Responsible Investment

policy for Real Estate (RIRE)

 



 

Introduction

 

On behalf of its clients, PGGM Investments manages several real estate investment portfolios structured around listed real estate and private real estate. PGGM Investments recognizes the impact real estate has on the environment as well as on societal systems, for instance with regard to CO2 emissions. This document addresses PGGM Investments’ policy on integrating material environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into our real estate investments. The scope of this policy covers both the listed and the private real estate portfolios. There are differences between the two types of portfolio in terms of the implementation of this policy and its implications.

 

These are addressed in the second part of this document. The Responsible Investment policy for Real Estate (RIRE) will be effective as of June 24th 2009 and the implementation of the policy will start after that date. We will report periodically on the progress made.

 

The RIRE is part of PGGM Investments’ Responsible Investment policy and as such it falls hierarchically under this overall policy. In addition, PGGM Investments’ Exclusions policy is applicable to our real estate portfolios, and the Listed Equity Ownership Policy (LEOP) is applicable to our Listed Real Estate Portfolio. Both policies are described in separate documents and are not detailed further in the RIRE. All in all, PGGM Investments will live up to the spirit of this policy, implement it, be transparent about the process and will report accordingly. The policy will evolve over time. PGGM Investments follows relevant developments closely and will update the RIRE when necessary. This policy does not confer any rights to any third parties.

 

Vision and strategy

 

It is our vision that ESG issues will change the market dynamics of the real estate sector. We believe that ESG factors have a material impact on the financial performance of our real estate portfolios and that it is our responsibility to capture the value and mitigate the risks related to ESG factors. Responsible investment is incorporated in the heart of PGGM Investments’ investment philosophy: ‘responsible investing pays off’ is one of the investment beliefs.

 

It is our strategy to (i) structurally integrate ESG factors into our investment processes, (ii) realize strong governance of our investments, and (iii) strive for better ESG performance by the assets that are part of our real estate portfolios. This means, among other things, that we integrate ESG factors into our decision-making process before selecting an investment, engage with real estate companies and funds with the aim of improving the ESG performance of underlying assets and set minimum ESG requirements for our investments. We believe that a better ESG performance leads to a better real estate investment performance. We actively encourage real estate companies and funds to improve the ESG performance of their assets and, when choosing between comparable investments, we select the investment with the better ESG performance. We will not invest in companies or funds that do not disclose the energy consumption performance of their real estate.

Material ESG factors in real estate

 

In the implementation of our strategy we focus on the following ESG factors:

 

Environmental: For us this means that we focus on climate change. We believe that climate change issues are very important and that climate change (related) policy will lead to more focus on, for instance, energy efficiency and urban regeneration and that it will lead to shifting tenant and investor preferences;

 

Social: For us this means that we focus on human rights and work conditions. In the development, construction and operation phase of property, issues regarding human rights and work conditions are liable to arise. This may result in financial and/or reputational risk for the property in question and for the ultimate investor in the asset.

 

Governance: For us this means that we focus on good corporate governance and fund governance. We believe that good governance (e.g. transparency, accountability) in real estate reduces the investment risk.

 

Implications for Private Real Estate

 

(i) We structurally integrate ESG factors into our investment process. We believe that integrating ESG factors into our investment process contributes to the generation of a high and stable return by the Private Real Estate portfolios. As we manage indirect private real estate portfolios (i.e. we do not invest in the underlying property directly, but indirectly via non-listed real estate funds) the implementation of our RIRE will impact both new and current fund managers of our private real estate investments.

 

Selection: Before selecting a private real estate fund, we need to understand the extent to which the fund manager is able to incorporate our RIRE into its own operations. In this context, we require fund managers to have at least a clear vision and policy regarding the ESG issues that we focus on, and when necessary we set further minimum requirements. ESG issues are a separate section in our due diligence and decision-making frameworks.

 

Monitoring: On a structural basis we monitor the funds we invest in and periodically meet with the management of these funds. ESG is part of the reporting requirements for our fund managers and part of the periodic review meetings.

 

(ii) We strive for strong fund governance.

 

We expect our fund managers to be fully transparent. This means that all relevant information regarding the investment should be public and available to all investors.

 

(iii) We strive for a better ESG performance by the assets that are part of the funds in our Private Real Estate portfolios.

 

We will actively explain our RIRE policy to the fund managers and require managers to actively improve the ESG performance of the assets that they manage and to report on improvements.

 

This also applies to the (re-)development of assets in the fund. This policy will not only be applied to new investments; our existing portfolio will also be impacted. While respecting existing contracts with fund managers, we will engage with the fund managers in order to have this policy implemented in their day-to-day work. We realize that this will be a gradual process.

Implications for Listed Real Estate

 

(i) We structurally integrate ESG factors into our investment process.

 

We manage Listed Real Estate portfolios (i.e. we do not invest in the underlying property directly, but indirectly via real estate companies that are listed on stock exchanges). It is our view that the integration of ESG factors into our investment process contributes to the generation of outperformance by our listed real estate portfolios against their benchmark.

 

Selection: We systematically include ESG information in our investment decision-making framework and weigh these factors together with other – financial and non-financial — factors in constructing the investment portfolio. ESG factors are translated into our expectations with regard to rents and valuations. In this way, ESG factors impact our price targets, which in turn affect the composition of our portfolio.

 

Monitoring: On a structural basis we monitor the companies we invest in and periodically meet with the management of these companies. Before meeting with the management, we determine the relevant subjects for discussion. In doing so we will structurally consider ESG issues and such issues will be discussed in company meetings where appropriate.

 

(ii) We strive for strong governance. We expect good corporate governance of the companies we invest in with regard to matters such as shareholders’ rights, independence of board members and financial reporting. We expect companies to meet all disclosure requirements and to be fully transparent with regard to strategy. All relevant information should be public and available to all shareholders. In those cases where the level of corporate governance is substandard, we will engage with the management to improve the corporate governance. In cases where management provides insufficient disclosure with regard to strategy and/or other aspects we deem relevant, we may give a zero allocation to the company, irrespective of its benchmark weight.

 

(iii) We strive for a better ESG performance by the assets that are part of our portfolio.

 

We engage with companies in order to improve the ESG performance of the underlying assets. We will actively explain our RIRE policy to the management and discuss our transparency needs regarding ESG issues on the company and asset level.
