ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
 
  The Restated Articles of Incorporation will relieve the Company's directors
from monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for breach of such
directors' fiduciary duty as directors. Section 2-418 of the MGCL empowers the
Company to indemnify, subject to the standards contained therein, any person
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by
reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company, or is or was serving as such with respect to another entity at
the request of the Company. The MGCL also provides that the Company may
purchase insurance on behalf of any such director, officer, employee or agent.
The Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws will provide for
the indemnification of each director and officer of the Company to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law.
 
  Section 9 of the Underwriting Agreement between the Company and the
Underwriters, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto, provides for
indemnification by the Company of the Underwriters and each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter, against certain liabilities and expenses, as
stated therein, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
 
  The Company intends to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance
("D&O Insurance") prior to the effective date of the Offering, and expects to
continue to carry D&O Insurance following such date. In addition, the Company
will enter into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors and
certain officers of the Company. The D&O Insurance and the indemnification
agreements will insure the Company's officers and directors against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the securities laws. The Company
expects that the indemnification agreements will indemnify and advance
expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
MGCL.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
   
  Immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, each of the general and
limited partners of LaSalle Partners Limited Partnership and LaSalle Partners
Management Limited Partnership will contribute all of their respective general
and limited partnership interests in such partnerships to the Company in
exchange for an aggregate of 12,200,000 shares of Common Stock. The issuances
of Common Stock will constitute a "transaction by any issuer not involving any
public offering" and thus will be exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") under Section 4(2) thereof. Galbreath-
LPL Holdings, LLC ("Galbreath-LPL"), has informed the Company that it intends
to distribute its shares of Common Stock to the 25 former employees of
Galbreath that constitute all of the members of Galbreath-LPL.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense in any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the
  information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
  registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
  of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
  497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
  statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
  post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
  to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
  therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
  to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
