Lending Installations.  Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation.  Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

Usury.  This Agreement and each Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate.  If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be p aid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

(b)

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IIA and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV hereof have been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit given not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Issuance Date, or (ii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 2A.2.

(c)

(d)

The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2A.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

2A.5

Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Bank.

(a)

The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify Lenders) of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit.  Any such draw shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder but shall constitute an Advance of the Facility in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at the Floating Rate Advance; provided that if a Default or an Unmatured Default exists at the time of any such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate .

In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

2A.6

Participation.

(a)

Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IIA, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and all related rights hereunder.  Each Lender’s obligation to make further Loans to Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or to purchase an interest from the Issuing Bank in any subsequent Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank on behalf of Borrower sh all be reduced by such Lender’s Percentage of the undrawn portion of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.

(b)

In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank.  Lender’s payments of its Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Loan by such Lender and shall constitute outstanding principal under such Lender’s Note.  The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.  Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this Section 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(c)

Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage thereof.

(d)

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or Lender.

(e)

The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, and such payments shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of all Advances for Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances:

(i)

any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(iii)

any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

2A.8

Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

(a)

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time hereunder while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding.  The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date or any other earlier date that the Obligations are due and payable in full.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day)  remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof.  The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof.

(b)

The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee equal to the greater of (A) $1,500 or (B) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum to be calculated on the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit for the stated duration thereof, based on the actual number of days and using a 360-day year basis.  The issuance fee shall be payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit and on the date of any increase therein or extension thereof.  The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Bank’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1

Yield Protection.  If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i)

subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Loans, or

(ii)

imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Fixed Rate Advances), or

(iii)

imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation  in connection with its Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Fixed Rate Loans, by an amount deemed material by such Lender  as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2

Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.  If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender  is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy).  “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the R isk-Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender.  “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations ad opted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3

Availability of Types of Advances.  If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in good faith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an int erest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination.  If the Borrower is required to so repay a Fixed Rate Advance, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

3.4

Funding Indemnification.  If any payment of a ratable Fixed Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable Fixed Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable Fixed Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.  

3.5

Taxes.  

(i)

All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes.  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall fu rnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii)

In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note ("Other Taxes").

(iii)

The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

(iv)

Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administr ative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not ca pable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(v)

For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.  

(vi)

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

(vii)

If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs an d expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent).  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

3.6

Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Fixed Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.  Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement.  The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

5.3

No Conflict; Government Consent.  Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such violation, conflict or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement.  No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents other than the filing of a copy of this Agreement.

5.20

Intellectual Property.  

(i) Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use, under valid license agreements or otherwise, all material patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, trade secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) used in the conduct of their respective businesses as now conducted and as contemplated by the Loan Documents, without known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trade secret, trade name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person.

(iv) The use of such Intellectual Property by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.21

Broker’s Fees.  No broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or similar compensation will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.  Except as provided in the Fee Letter, no other similar fees or commissions will be payable by any Lender for any other services rendered to the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower or any other Person ancillary to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors; Consideration.  The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective creditors.  The direct and indirect benefits to inure to Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Subsidiary Guarantor to guaranty the Obligations, Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable Borrower and its subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries constitute a single integrated financial enterprise and receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement.

Borrower shall not (1) conduct any business or engage in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person, (ii) deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to the Executive Order or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law (and Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent any certification or other evidence requested from time to time by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, confirming Borrower’s compliance herewith).

5.29

Survival. All statements contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such statement made in or in connection with any amendment thereto or any statement contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the Agreement Execution Date and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with closing the transactions contemplated hereby) shall constitute representations and warranties made by the Borrower under this Agreement.  All such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of t he Loan Documents and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

ARTICLE III

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

3.1

Acceleration.  If any Default described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Facility Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  If any other Default occurs, so long as a Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and declare the Facility Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon if the Required Lenders elected to accelerate (i) the Facility Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents.

In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required Lenders the Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto.  The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall not be entitled to receive any interest thereon.  Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit and associated issuance costs and fees.  Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Facility Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Borrower.

If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Facility Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Facility Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

3.2

Amendments.  Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement or waiver shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

(i)

1.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT.  The Assignor is a party to a Credit Agreement (which, as it may be amended, modified, renewed or extended from time to time is herein called the “Credit Agreement”) described in Item 1 of Schedule 1 attached hereto (“Schedule 1”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement.

2.

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION.  The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, an interest in and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement such that after giving effect to such assignment the Assignee shall have purchased pursuant to this Assignment Agreement the percentage interest specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 of all outstanding rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The aggregate Commitment (or Loans, if the applicable Commitment has been terminated) purchased by the Assignee hereunder is set forth in Item 4 of Schedule 1.

3.

EFFECTIVE DATE.  The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent) after a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit “I” attached hereto has been delivered to the Administrative Agent.  Such Notice of Assignment must include the consent of the Agent required by Section 12.3.1 of the Credit Agreement.  In no event will the Effective Date occur if the payments required to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor on the Effective Date under Sections 4 and 5 hereof are not made on the proposed Effective Date.  The Assignor will notify the Assignee of the proposed Effective Date no later than the Business Day prior to the proposed Effective Date.  As of t he Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its corresponding obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder.

*Each Assignor may insert its standard payment provisions in lieu of the payment terms included in this Exhibit.

5.

This Guaranty is made as of April 21, 2008 by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association, individually (“KeyBank”) and as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lenders”) and to and for the benefit of the counterparties to those certain “Related Swap Contracts” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which may include Lenders and certain Affiliates of Lenders (collectively, the “Related Creditors” and, with the Lenders, the “Credit Parties”).

RECITALS

A.

Inland Real Estate Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (“Borrower”), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $155,000,000 subject to future increase up to $300,000,000 (the “Facility”).

B.

The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

C.

Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender’s Commitment and promissory notes in the principal amount, if any, of each Lender’s Loan as evidence of Borrower’s indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”).

D.

Borrower may enter into certain Related Swap Contracts with one or more of the Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders.

E.

Subsidiary Guarantors are subsidiaries of Borrower.  Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the execution and delivery of Related Swap Contracts by certain Lenders and Affiliates of Lenders will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members.  The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Credit Agreement and the execution and delivery of any Related Swap Contracts by such Lenders and Affiliates of Lender.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:

1.

Subsidiary Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each of the Lenders and Lenders’ Affiliates:

(a)

the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

(b)

prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter be come due and owing under the Related Swap Contracts;

(c)

 the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(d)

the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents and under the Related Swap Contracts.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Indebtedness.”  All obligations described in subparagraph (d) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.”  Subsidiary Guarantors and the Credit Parties agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of:  (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the “Bankrupt cy Code”).  To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code.  In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty each other guarantor of the Guaranteed Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guar antor an amount equal to such non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder and under such other guaranty) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Guaranteed Indebtedness to Lenders.

2.

In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note or Credit Party under a Related Swap Contract, to pay all the Guaranteed Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents or under the Related Swap Contract, as the case may be.

3.

Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by t he Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, Related Swap Contract, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Credit Parties have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Credit Party to proceed against any other security given to a Credit Party in connection with the Guaranteed Indebtedness or the Obligations.  Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Credit Parties to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation.  The Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Credit Parties’ assessment of the financial condition of Borrower.  Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties to Subsidiary Guarantors.  No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties.  Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, a nd the other Loan Documents or in the Related Swap Contracts shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.

4.

Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors’ liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any waiver by the Related Creditors under any Related Swap Contracts or by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents or in a Related Swap Contract, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Guaranteed Indebtedness, even though a Credit Party might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and the Related Swap Contracts and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety.  Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Related Swap Contract, or any thereof, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or any Related Swap Contract and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent’s, and Credit Parties’ rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder.

5.

This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Guaranteed Indebtedness or Obligations from time to time.  Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or the Related Swap Contracts or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or t o commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or under the Related Swap Contracts, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever.  Neither Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, mod ified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or under a Related Swap Contract or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or pursuant to a Related Swap Contract is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Credit Party had not been made, regardless of whether such Credit Party contested the order requiring the return of such payment.  The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pur suant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

6.

This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Credit Party to any assignee of all or a portion of such Credit Party’s rights under the Loan Documents or Related Swap Contracts.

7.

If:  (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents or any Related Swap Contract are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document or any Related Swap Contract; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or a Related Swap Contract or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents or a Related Swap Contract in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any Related Swap Contract, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Credit Facility or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

8.

The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions.  However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision o r provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

9.

Any indebtedness of Borrower to Subsidiary Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness.  Subsidiary Guarantors will not seek, accept, or retain for Subsidiary Guarantors’ own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default or Unmatured Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or when a default under any Related Swap Contract has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period thereunder, and any such payments to Subsidiary Guarantors made while any such event has occurred and is continuing on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the Credit Parties and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or to the applicable Related Creditor, as the case ma y be, on account of the Guaranteed Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.

10.

Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Guaranteed Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Guaranteed Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Credit Parties or any right of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Credit Parties to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Credit Parties for the payment of the Guaranteed Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Subsidiary Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.  It is expressly understood that the agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Credit Parties for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.

11.

Any amounts received by a Credit Parties from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Credit Parties toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as such Credit Party may from time to time elect.

12.

Subsidiary Guarantors hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty.  Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of either the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in any action, suit, or proceeding which the Administrative Agent or a Credit Party may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter.  Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Illinois and hereby waives any objection which Subsidiary Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit , or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Credit Party from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES

Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments:  Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of which follows:

This ASTM practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA).  The purpose of this standard is to “define good commercial and customary practice in the Untied States of America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products.”  The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes “all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices” as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B).

The goal of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify “recognized environmental conditions.”  Recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property.  The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws.  The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies.

The ASTM standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main components:  1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews; and 4) Report.  The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property.  The site reconnaissance involves physical observation of the property’s exterior and interior, as well as an observation of adjoining properties.  Interviews with previous and current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property.  The final component of the ESA, the report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the prope rty.  It includes documentation to support the analysis, opinions, and conclusions found in the report.

While the use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes of CERCLA’s innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be limited to that purpose.  The ASTM standard is intended to be an approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site assessments.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S COUNSEL

____________, 200_

KeyBank National Association

as Administrative Agent for the Lenders

127 Public Square, 8^th Floor

Cleveland, Ohio

Re:

$155,000,000 Credit Facility to Inland Real Estate Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with a $155,000,000 revolving loan, (the “Loan”), which Loan is being made pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 21, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”) between Borrower, KeyBank National Association and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”).

In connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Borrower, the [partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership] of the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and all such corporate and other records of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, with such declarations and agreements, and certificates of officers and representatives of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and with such other documents, and we have made such other examinations and investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

We have examined the originals of the following documents, each of which is addressed to the Lender or to which the Lender is a party (all of which are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”):

1.

The Credit Agreement;

2.

The Subsidiary Guaranty’s; and

3.

[describe promissory notes and other Loan Documents].

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.

Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [_________].  Borrower has all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

2.

[Each Subsidiary Guarantor] is a [limited partnership or limited liability company] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [________].  [Each Subsidiary Guarantor] has all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

3.

The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Borrower, and Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, and does not (i) require any consent or approval of any partner or shareholder of such entity or any other person or entity excepting such consents or approvals as have actually been obtained; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, or regulation of the United States or the States of Illinois or [______], or any provision of the partnership or corporate law presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors or, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of the partnership agreement of the Borrower or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Subsidiary Guarantors; (iv) violate any pre sently existing statutory or administrative provision or judicial decision applicable to the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors; or (v) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument affecting the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantors.

3.

Each Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, (b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and (c) is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

4.

To our knowledge, no presently existing authorization, exemption, consent, approval, license, or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, bureau, agency, or instrumentality will be necessary for the valid, binding, and enforceable execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower or the General Partners of the Loan Documents.

5.

To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors before any court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

6.

The Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, and the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the applicable Note and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of Illinois.

The opinions expressed herein are expressly made subject to and qualified by the following:

(a)  We have assumed that the Loan Documents are duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Agent, the Lenders and all other parties other than the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(b)  This opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the date hereof.

(c)  This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Illinois and applicable federal law and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(d)  We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals (other than the Loan Documents) and the conformity to original documents of all documents (other than the Loan Documents) submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.

(e)  The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that: (i) the enforceability of any rights or remedies in any agreement or instruments may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

This opinion may be relied upon by only by the addressees hereof, its attorneys, auditors, advisors, participants, and their respective successors and assigns, and not by any other party.

Very truly yours,
