PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION; DATED JUNE 20, 1996
INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND III, INC.
$10.00 PER SHARE MINIMUM PURCHASE - 300 SHARES
(100 SHARES FOR TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES)
Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc. (the "Company"), a Maryland
corporation which intends to do business under the designation Inland Real
Estate Corporation upon commencement of this Offering (as defined below), is an
infinite- life real estate investment trust (a "REIT"), formed in 1994 to
invest in Neighborhood Retail Centers located primarily within a 150-mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois as well as single-user retail
properties located throughout the United States. As of the date of this
Prospectus, the Company owns ten properties, including nine Neighborhood Retail
Centers and one single-user retail property. The Company intends to use the
Net Proceeds of this Offering (after funding of appropriate working capital
reserves) to acquire additional properties. The Company has a commitment to
purchase, subject to completion of due diligence, an additional single-user
retail property, which will be purchased on an all cash basis, if at all.
There can be no assurance that this property will be acquired. See "Investment
Objectives and Policies" and "Real Property Investments."
All of the shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock" or "Shares"), offered hereby are being sold by the
Company. Of the 11,000,000 Shares being offered, 1,000,000 Shares are
available only to Stockholders who purchased Shares in the Company's prior
offering or who purchase Shares in this Offering (as defined below) and are
participating in the Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP").
The Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis. The Company's
day-to-day operations will be managed by Inland Real Estate Advisory Services,
Inc. (the "Advisor"). Capitalized terms used in this Prospectus and not
defined in the text are defined in the "Glossary."
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY INVOLVES CERTAIN RISKS. SEE "RISK
FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 16. THESE RISKS INCLUDE:
- As there is currently no public trading market for the Shares and no
assurance exists that one will develop, an investor may be unable to
liquidate his investment on favorable terms, if at all. An investment
in the Shares is, therefore, suitable only for those able to make a
long-term investment. (PAGE 16)
- As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company owned nine Neighborhood
Retail Centers and one single-user retail property and had
approximately $_________ available for acquisition of additional
properties. The Company also intends to use the Net proceeds of this
Offering (after funding of appropriate working capital reserves) to
acquire additional properties. Although the Company intends to
purchase properties, whenever possible, on an all cash basis, the
Company utilized financing to acquire seven of its ten properties.
The Company has a commitment to purchase, subject to completion of due
diligence, an additional single-user retail property, on an all cash
basis; however, there can be no assurance that this property will be
acquired. The Company has not specified any additional properties in
which to invest. (PAGE 16)
- The Company relies on the Advisor and its Affiliates for the daily
operation of the Company and the management of its assets. The
Company will pay the Advisor and its Affiliates substantial fees for
rendering such services. (PAGE 20)
- No person may own more than 9.8% of the Shares. (PAGE 24)
- Affiliates of the Advisor are engaged in similar real estate
activities which subject them to various conflicts of interest in
their management of the operations of the Company. Such conflicts
include competition for the time and services of Affiliates of the
Advisor, receipt by the Advisor and its Affiliates of compensation
from the Company for their various services and the possibility that
the Company may do business with entities that have pre-existing
relationships with the Advisor or its Affiliates which result in a
conflict between the ongoing business relationship of the Advisor or
its Affiliates and the Company's current interests. (PAGE 19)
- The Company has incurred indebtedness secured by certain of its
properties and may incur additional indebtedness on its existing
properties or properties to be acquired in the future. Defaults on
such indebtedness could cause the Company to lose its investment in
such properties. (PAGE 17)

(1) The Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis. The Company
will pay Inland Securities Corporation, an Affiliate of the Advisor
(the "Dealer Manager") selling commissions equal to up to seven
percent (7%) of the Gross Offering Proceeds and will issue a warrant
to purchase one Share during the Exercise Period at $12.00 per share
for every 40 Shares sold (the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants"), all or a
part of which compensation may be retained or reallowed to the
Soliciting Dealers unless prohibited by either federal or state
securities laws. See "Description of Securities - Soliciting Dealer
Warrants" regarding additional terms of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants. The Dealer Manager also will receive a marketing
contribution and due diligence expense allowance fee equal to 2.5% of
the Gross Offering Proceeds, some portion of which may be reallowed to
Soliciting Dealers. Certain volume discounts may be given on orders
of 25,000 Shares or more and Soliciting Dealers may, in their
discretion, request that the Company pay them less than the maximum
permitted compensation in respect of the sale of Shares in which event
the amounts not paid as commissions will be retained by the Company.
(2) Before deducting Organization and Offering Expenses which will be
charged to the Company, estimated at $5,771,500 if 11,000,000 Shares
(the "Maximum Offering") are sold. If the aggregate of all
Organization and Offering Expenses, including selling commissions and
the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance fee,
exceeds 15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the Advisor will pay such
excess expenses.
(3) Participation in the DRP is limited to those investors who purchased
Shares in the Prior Offering or who purchase Shares pursuant to this
Offering. Participants may purchase Shares net of selling commissions
and the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance fee
($9.05 per Share). All Shares issued pursuant to the DRP will be
registered.
The Shares offered hereby (the "Offering") will be sold by the Dealer
Manager and other securities dealers (the "Soliciting Dealers") who are members
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). The
Offering will terminate on or before __________, 1998. Subscription proceeds
received from investors will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, pending
release to the Company. As no minimum offering amount has been specified,
subscription proceeds are expected to be released to the Company as

within ten days (and generally within 24 hours) after receipt by the Company.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is a summary intended solely to supply pertinent facts
and highlights from the material contained in the body of the Prospectus. More
detailed information may be found in the remainder of the Prospectus.
THE COMPANY As of the date of this Prospectus, the
Company owns and operates nine Neighborhood
Retail Centers (as hereinafter defined) and
one single-user retail property. The Company
intends to acquire additional existing
Neighborhood Retail Centers which will be
located primarily within an approximate
150-mile radius of its headquarters in Oak
Brook, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, where the
Advisor maintains its acquisition and
property management headquarters. The
Company also may acquire single-user retail
properties located throughout the United
States. Certain of the single-use retail
properties may be acquired in sale and
leaseback transactions in which creditworthy
tenants enter into triple-net leases with the
Company. See "Real Property Investments."
As of the date of this Prospectus, the
Company had approximately $__________
available for acquisition of additional
properties. The Company has a commitment to
purchase, subject to completion of due
diligence, an additional single- user retail
property, on an all cash basis, for
$2,455,000. There can be no assurance that
this property will be acquired. See "Real
Property Investments."
The Company's primary business objective is
to enhance the performance and value of its
properties through management strategies
designed to address the needs of an evolving
retail marketplace. Key elements of the
Company's strategy are:
Acquisitions:
- Selectively acquire well-located
Neighborhood Retail Centers, as well
as single-user retail properties,
net leased by creditworthy tenants.
- Whenever possible, acquire
properties on an all-cash basis,
which provides the Company with a
competitive advantage over potential
purchasers who must secure
financing. If it is in the best
interest of the Company, the Company
will, in certain instances, acquire
properties subject to existing
indebtedness. The Company utilized
financing to acquire seven of the
ten properties owned by it as of the
date of this Prospectus. The
financing for five of the properties
was obtained from an Affiliate and
was retired within 90 days of the
date of acquisition. See "Real
Property Investments."

<PAGE> 12
Operations:
- Actively manage costs and minimize
operating expenses by centralizing
all management, leasing, marketing,
financing, accounting, renovation
and data processing activities.
- Improve rental income and cash flow
by aggressively marketing rentable
space.
- Emphasize regular maintenance and
periodic renovation to meet the
needs of tenants and to maximize
long-term returns.
- For Neighborhood Retail Centers,
maintain a diversified tenant base,
consisting primarily of retail
tenants providing consumer goods and
services.
- Subsequent to the acquisition of the
properties, incur mortgage
indebtedness, when favorable
financing terms are available, to
allow the Company to acquire
additional properties and increase
the Company's cash flow.
The Company is a Maryland corporation which
filed an election with its tax return to be
treated as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") for the year ended December 31,
1995. See, generally "Federal Income Tax
Considerations." The Company is located at
2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois
60521 (708) 218-8000.
SHARES OUTSTANDING _____ Shares (including ____ Shares purchased
BEFORE OFFERING under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment
Program (the "DRP") and 20,000 Shares
purchased by the Advisor) as of the date of
this Prospectus. The Company sold
[6,000,000] Shares (net of _____ Shares
repurchased by the Company as of the date of
this Prospectus pursuant to the Share
Repurchase Program) in a "best efforts"
offering that commenced on October 14, 1994
and was completed on August ___, 1996, at a
price of $10 per Share (the "Prior
Offering"). See "Principal Stockholders."
SHARES OUTSTANDING _____ Shares (including ____ Shares purchased
POST OFFERING under the DRP as of the date of this
Prospectus, but not including the 1,000,000
Shares available for sale under the DRP or up
to _____ Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrants issued in
connection with the Prior Offering and to be
issued in connection with this Offering
(assuming the Maximum Offering is sold) or
options granted under the Company's Stock
Option Plan (as of the date of this
Prospectus, Options to purchase 10,000 Shares
were issued and outstanding)).
TERMS OF THE OFFERING The Company is offering 11,000,000 shares of
common stock, $.01 par value per share (the
"Shares"), of which 1,000,000 Shares are
available
2
<PAGE> 13
only to Stockholders who purchased Shares in
the Company's Prior Offering (which was
completed on August ___, 1996) or who
purchase Shares in this Offering and who
participate in the DRP. The Company is
offering its Shares for sale on a "best
efforts" basis, which means that the
securities dealers participating in the
Offering are under no obligation to purchase
any Shares and, therefore, no specified
amount is guaranteed to be raised.
Subscribers for Shares must purchase a
minimum of 300 Shares ($3,000), except that,
a minimum of 100 Shares ($1,000) may be
purchased by Tax-Exempt Entities (as defined
herein). See "Who May Invest." The Offering
is being made by Inland Securities
Corporation (the "Dealer Manager") and other
securities dealers (the "Soliciting Dealers")
who are members of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").
The Offering will terminate no later than
August ___, 1998 (the "Termination Date").
Subscribers' funds will be forwarded to
LaSalle National Bank, N.A., as escrow agent.
Subscription proceeds are expected to be
released to the Company as subscriptions are
accepted. All subscriptions will be accepted
or rejected within ten days (and generally
within 24 hours) after receipt by the
Company. See "Plan of Distribution--
General" and "--Escrow Conditions."
RISK FACTORS Investment in the Shares involves risks which
are described in detail in the "Risk Factors"
section of the Prospectus, which begins on
page 16. The following is a summary of the
risks which the Company believes are most
relevant to an investment in the Shares.
Investment Risks:
- There is currently no public trading
market for the Shares and no
assurance that one will develop;
therefore, the Shares constitute an
illiquid investment.
- As of the date of this Prospectus,
the Company owned nine Neighborhood
Retail Centers and one single-user
retail property, and had
approximately $_____ available for
additional acquisitions. The
Company has committed to purchase,
subject to completion of due
diligence, an additional single-user
retail property for $2,455,000.
There can be no assurance that this
property will be acquired. The
Company has not specified any
additional properties for
acquisition.
- The Eagle Crest Shopping Center and
the Walgreens/Decatur property were
acquired by the Company from Inland
Property Sales, Inc., an Affiliate.
Acquisitions from Affiliates may be
on terms less favorable to the
Company than arm's-length
transactions and may result in
concessions as to price or otherwise
which will have a negative effect on
the value of the
3
<PAGE> 14
Shares. The Company will compete
for the acquisition of properties
with many other entities engaged in
real estate investment activities,
some of which have greater resources
than the Company, which may result
in the Company being unable to
acquire certain desirable properties
and have an adverse impact on Share
value.
- Acquisition of Neighborhood Retail
Centers (but not single-user retail
properties) is primarily limited to
the approximate 150-mile radius
surrounding the Advisor's
headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.
Adverse economic conditions
affecting that area could adversely
affect the Company's ability to
acquire, lease and dispose of such
properties, the amount of
Distributions paid and the value of
the Shares.
- If the Company defaults on any
secured indebtedness, the lender may
foreclose and the Company could lose
its investment in the properties
securing such loan and the value of
the Shares would decrease.
- To satisfy certain requirements for
qualification as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, no person may
own, or be deemed to own by virtue
of the attribution provisions of the
Code (as defined herein), more than
9.8% of the Shares. Such
limitations may have an
anti-takeover effect and may further
limit the liquidity and value of the
Shares.
- Although the Company has a working
capital reserve of approximately
$_______________ (equal to 1% of the
gross offering proceeds from the
Company's Prior Offering) and
intends to supplement its working
capital with an additional 1% of the
Gross Offering Proceeds from this
Offering, these amounts may be
insufficient to meet the
unanticipated cash needs of the
Company and the Company may have to
obtain financing from either
affiliated or unaffiliated sources.
Additional financing likely would
decrease the cash available to pay
Distributions.
- Under certain circumstances, the
Company may borrow funds to maintain
operations of one or more of the
Company's properties or enable it to
maintain its REIT status. Borrowing
increases the Company's business
risks since debt service increases
the expenses of operations and
decreases cash available to pay
Distributions.
Company Risks:
- Two of the ten properties owned by
the Company as of the date of this
Prospectus have been acquired from
an Affiliate. Acquisitions from
Affiliates may be on terms less
favorable to
4
<PAGE> 15
the Company than properties acquired
in arm's-length transactions and may
result in concessions as to price or
otherwise which could have a
negative effect on the value of the
Shares.
- Conflicts of interest between the
Company and its Affiliates, such as
competition for the time and
services of the Advisor and its
Affiliates, receipt by the Advisor
and its Affiliates of compensation
from the Company for their various
services and the possibility that
the Company may do business with
entities that have pre-existing
relationships with the Advisor or
its Affiliates which results in a
conflict between the ongoing
business relationship of the Advisor
or its Affiliates and the Company's
current interests. Such conflicts
may have an adverse effect on
operations and thus, on the value of
the Shares.
- The success of the Company will
depend to a large extent on the
quality of management provided by
the Advisor and its Affiliates.
Since January 1, 1985, Affiliates of
the Advisor have sponsored 77
programs. Certain programs
sponsored or managed by Affiliates
of the Advisor have experienced
setbacks during the course of
business, including commercial
tenant defaults or move- outs,
unfavorable changes in the tax laws
and higher than expected vacancies
as apartment markets weakened.
These negative events have had the
effect of reducing the benefits
which investors in those programs
would have received. The degree of
impact these negative events have
had on the ability of the affected
programs to attain their original
investment objectives varies by
program. See "Prior Performance of
the Company's Affiliates" and "Prior
Performance Tables."
- The Advisor and its Affiliates will
receive substantial fees and
payments for services rendered to
the Company whether or not
Stockholders receive Distributions.
- The Directors may authorize the
issuance of shares or other
securities in addition to Shares
issued pursuant to this Offering,
thereby resulting in dilution of the
equity of the Stockholders.
- The Company's Articles, in most
cases, require a vote of only a
majority of the Stockholders on
those matters on which Stockholders
are required to vote. Therefore,
all Stockholders, including those
not voting with the majority, will
be bound by the vote of the
Stockholders owning a majority of
the outstanding Shares.
5
<PAGE> 16
Risks of Real Estate Ownership:
- All equity real estate investments
are subject to some degree of
general economic risks, including
lease defaults, which could
adversely affect income, cash
available for Distributions and
property value. Stockholders can
expect to bear this risk in
proportion to the number of Shares
held.
- Adverse trends for the property
types to be acquired by the Company
or adverse economic developments in
general or within the Chicago
metropolitan area in particular
could have an adverse effect on the
Company's operations and the value
of the Shares could decrease.
- Future violation of environmental
and other governmental regulations
could result in substantial
expenditures by, or damages to, the
Company and decrease the cash
available to pay Distributions.
- Unanticipated renovation or
remodeling costs incurred to
re-lease the Company's properties
could reduce the cash available to
pay Distributions.
Tax Risks:
- The Company's ability to qualify as
a REIT involves the application of
technical and highly complex
provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") to various factual matters
and circumstances which are often
not within the Company's control.
The Company's qualification as a
REIT depends upon its ability to
meet, through actual operations,
various tests imposed by the Code,
and there can be no assurance that
operating results will allow the
Company to satisfy the Code
requirements. In addition, the
actions and transactions the Company
will undertake to maintain its REIT
status may not produce the highest
economic profit. For example, the
Company does not intend to sell any
property as inventory property even
if so structuring sales would
produce higher profit.
- If the Company loses its REIT
status, its Distributions will not
be deductible, thereby increasing
its tax liability and substantially
reducing the funds available for
distribution to Stockholders. Such
federal income tax liability could
force the Company to borrow funds,
liquidate certain of its investments
or take other steps which could
adversely affect its operations and
the value of the Shares.

<PAGE> 17
- Shefsky Froelich & Devine Ltd.
("Counsel") has rendered its opinion
that, based on certain
representations of the Company as
described throughout the Prospectus
regarding the operations of the
Company, the Company has been
organized in conformity with the
requirements for qualifications as a
REIT beginning with its taxable year
ending December 31, 1995, and that
its proposed method of operation has
enabled and will enable the Company
to satisfy the REIT Requirements,
and that distributions to certain
qualified organizations will not
produce unrelated business taxable
income ("UBTI") so long as the
Company is not a "Pension-Held
REIT." See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations" and "ERISA
Considerations." The opinion of
Counsel represents its legal
judgment based on the law in effect
as of the date of this Prospectus,
is not binding on the Internal
Revenue Service (the "Service") and
could be subject to modification or
withdrawal based on future
legislative, judicial or
administrative changes to the
federal income tax laws (or the
interpretation thereof) which could
be applied retroactively.
Stockholders could sustain a
decrease in the value of their
Shares if such changes occur.
ERISA Risks:
- In deciding whether to purchase
Shares, each fiduciary of an
employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA, in consultation with its
advisors, should carefully consider
its fiduciary responsibilities under
ERISA, the prohibited transaction
rules of ERISA and the Code, the
UBTI consequences and the effect of
the "plan asset" regulations issued
by the Department of Labor. See
"ERISA Considerations."
Should the Company be unable to effectively
manage the impact of these risks, the
Company's ability to meet its investment
objectives will be impaired and, therefore,
the benefits to the Stockholders from their
investment in the Company will be reduced.
See "Risk Factors" and "Prior Performance of
the Company's Affiliates."
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
AND POLICIES The Company's investment objectives are to:
- Provide regular Distributions to
Stockholders in amounts which may
exceed the Company's taxable income,
particularly in the early years of
the Company's operations, given the
non-cash nature of depreciation
expense and, to such extent, will
constitute a tax-deferred return of
capital. In order for the Company
to maintain its REIT status, the
Company must make Distributions
equal to not less than 95% of the
its REIT taxable income. To the
extent Distributions to Stockholders
exceed taxable income, such
Distributions would constitute a
return of capital and would be
sheltered from current taxation for
taxable Stockholders. This
7
<PAGE> 18
return of capital, however, will
reduce a Stockholder's tax basis
in his Shares, which will result in
more taxable gain upon any sale or
exchange of Shares than would have
occurred absent a return of capital.
Depreciation deductions, however,
will decrease the Company's tax
basis in its properties, thereby
increasing the Company's taxable
income when the properties are sold,
thereby increasing the amount of
Distributions needed to maintain
compliance with the REIT
Requirements. As long as the
Company qualifies as a REIT, it
generally will not be taxed to the
extent of the Distributions it pays
to Stockholders;
- Provide a hedge against inflation by
entering into leases which provide
for scheduled rent escalations or
participation in the growth of
tenant sales designed to provide
increased Distributions and capital
appreciation through increases in
the value of the Company's
properties; and
- Preserve Stockholders' capital by
selectively acquiring well-located
Neighborhood Retail Centers and
single-user retail properties on an
all-cash basis, whenever possible.
If it is in the best interest of the
Company, the Company will, in
certain instances, utilize borrowing
to acquire properties. As of the
date of this Prospectus, the Company
utilized financing in connection
with acquisition of seven of its ten
properties. The Company's proposed
purchase of an additional
single-user retail property will be
on an all cash basis, if the
property is purchased. See "Real
Property Investments."
There can be no assurance the aforementioned
objectives will be achieved.
To the extent possible, it will be the policy
of the Company to avoid the fluctuations in
Distributions which might result if
Distributions were based on actual cash
received during the Distribution period. To
implement this policy, the Company may use
income earned during prior periods, or income
earned subsequent to the Distribution
declaration date but prior to the payment
date, in order to distribute annualized
Distributions consistent with the
Distribution level established from time to
time by the Board. The Company's ability to
implement this policy will be dependent upon
the availability of Cash Flow and the
applicable REIT rules. It will be the
general policy of the Company, subject to the
applicable REIT rules, to reinvest that
portion of the proceeds from the sale,
financing, refinancing or other disposition
of its properties that represents the initial
investment into additional properties.
Through September 30, 1995, the Company paid
Distributions to its Stockholders on a
quarterly basis. Commencing in October,
1995, the Company began, and has continued,
to pay Distributions to the Stockholders on a
monthly basis, with daily record and
Distribution declaration dates.
8
<PAGE> 19
However, the Company reserves a right, at any
time, to revert to paying Distributions on a
quarterly basis. The Board presently
anticipates that Distributions equal to an 8%
annualized return per Share will continue to
be paid to each Stockholder of record.
It is the Company's intention, whenever
possible, to acquire properties free and
clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by
paying the entire purchase price of each
property in cash or for shares of the
Company's stock. However, if it is
determined to be in the Company's best
interests, the Company will, in certain
instances, utilize borrowing to acquire
properties. On properties purchased on an
all-cash basis, the Company may later incur
mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans
secured by selected properties, if favorable
financing terms are available. The proceeds
from such loans would be used primarily to
acquire additional properties to increase
Cash Flow. The Company may also incur
indebtedness to finance improvements to the
properties it acquires. The Company
anticipates that aggregate borrowings related
to all of the Company's properties will not
exceed 50% of their combined fair market
values. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
maximum amount of borrowings in relation to
Net Assets shall not exceed 300% of Net
Assets without approval of a majority of the
Stockholders. The Company does not
anticipate that it will incur debt to fund
Distributions to Stockholders, unless
necessary to maintain its status as a REIT.
See "Investment Objectives and
Policies--Borrowing" and "Summary of the
Organizational Documents--Restrictions on
Borrowing."
Affiliates of the Advisor have extensive
experience in the acquisition and management
of properties similar to the properties
contemplated to be acquired by the Company.
However, there is no assurance that the
Company's investment objectives will be
achieved because, among other reasons, the
Company has acquired only nine Neighborhood
Retail Centers and one single-user retail
property. Although the Company has a
commitment to purchase, subject to completion
of due diligence, an additional single-user
retail property, there can be no assurance
that this property will be acquired. The
Company has not specified any additional
properties. Due to competition for suitable
properties, the Company may not be able to
acquire other properties meeting its
investment criteria. See "Risk
Factors--Investment Risks--Partially
Specified Fund," "Risk Factors--Risks of Real
Estate Ownership--Competition with Others for
the Acquisition of Properties," "Prior
Performance of the Company's Affiliates" and
"Real Property Investments."
Proceeds of the Offering will be used to buy
properties and to pay expenses of the
Offering and Acquisition Expenses, with the
balance (but not less than 1% of Gross
Offering Proceeds) being applied to working
capital reserves. See "Estimated Use of
Proceeds of the Offering."

THE ADVISOR Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Inland Real Estate
Investment Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("IREIC") is the Advisor. The
Advisor is an Illinois corporation with its
principal place of business located at 2901
Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521
(708) 218-8000. IREIC, as of June 30, 1995,
had an audited net worth in excess of
$91,600,000, much of which is illiquid.
Limited partnerships for which IREIC is a
general partner own in excess of 10,500,000
square feet of commercial property in Chicago
and nationwide. See "Management."
COMPENSATION TO BE The Advisor and its Affiliates will be paid
PAID TO THE ADVISOR substantial amounts for managing the business
AND ITS AFFILIATES of the Company. The most significant items
of compensation are:
Offering Stage: Selling commissions to the
Dealer Manager up to 7% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds, which may be retained or reallowed
to Soliciting Dealers; and a marketing
contribution and due diligence expense
allowance fee to the Dealer Manager equal to
2.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (the
"Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence
Expense Allowance Fee"), of which such
compensation may be retained or reallowed to
Soliciting Dealers. The selling commissions
and the Marketing Contribution and Due
Diligence Expense Allowance Fees for the year
ended December 31, 1995 totalled $1,719,355,
of which $102,084 was unpaid at December 31,
1995. Approximately $1,551,000 of such
amount had been reallowed to Soliciting
Dealers as of December 31, 1995. Soliciting
Dealers also receive one Soliciting Dealer
Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by such
Soliciting Dealer during the Offering. Each
Soliciting Dealer Warrant will entitle the
holder to purchase one Share from the Company
at a price of $12 during the Exercise Period.
See "Compensation Table" and "Description of
Securities--Soliciting Dealer Warrants."
Acquisition Stage: Reimbursement for actual
out-of-pocket acquisition expenses are
anticipated to be up to 0.5% of Gross
Offering Proceeds. See "Compensation Table."
Operational Stage: An annual Advisor Asset
Management Fee of not more than 1% of the
Average Invested Assets is paid quarterly.
An Affiliate of the Advisor will also receive
a Property Management Fee equal to not more
than 4.5% of the gross revenues of each of
the Company's properties (90% of the fee
typically charged by a third party), paid
monthly. Payment of the Advisor Asset
Management Fee is subordinated to the payment
of Distributions in an amount equal to a
non-compounded return equal to 8% per annum
on Invested Capital (the "Current Return").
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Company had not incurred or paid an Advisor
Asset Management Fee. The Company incurred
and paid Property Management Fees of $46,791
for the year ended December 31, 1995. See
"Compensation Table" and
10
<PAGE> 21
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
of the Company."
Liquidation Stage: A Property Disposition
Fee equal to the lesser of: (i) 3% of the
sale price of a property; or (ii) 50% of the
commission customarily paid to third parties;
and after receipt by the Stockholders of a
cumulative, non-compounded 8% per annum
return of Invested Capital (the "Cumulative
Return") and a return of their Invested
Capital, an Incentive Advisory Fee equal to
15% of the net proceeds from the sale of a
property. In the event the Company's
Shares are listed on a national stock
exchange or included for quotation on a
national market system and the Advisor is
merged into the Company, the Advisor will
receive Shares and the Company will no longer
be obligated to pay fees to the Advisor. See
"Compensation Table."
There may be a number of other incidental
fees for services or expense reimbursement
that the Advisor and its Affiliates may
receive during the operational and
liquidation stages of the Company. See,
generally, "Compensation Table" and
"Management--Other Services."
REAL PROPERTY
INVESTMENTS As of the date of this Prospectus, the
Company owned nine Neighborhood Retail
Centers and one single-user retail property.
The Company utilized $23,921,085 to acquire
these properties. Two of the properties are
encumbered by outstanding indebtedness of
approximately $5,221,000, as of the date of
this Prospectus. The Company has
approximately $______ available for
investment in additional properties. The
Company has committed to purchase, subject to
completion of due diligence, an additional
single-user retail property, on an all cash
basis, for $2,455,000. There can be no
assurance that this property will be
acquired.
The terms of each of the Company's
acquisitions as well as the proposed
acquisition have been approved by a majority
of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) as being fair and
reasonable to the Company. The acquisition
prices of the properties did not exceed the
appraised values of the properties at the
time of acquisition. Two of the properties
were acquired from an Affiliate. There can
be no assurance that the prices paid to the
Affiliate for these properties did not exceed
that which would be paid by an unaffiliated
buyer. See "Risk Factors--Company
Risks--Prices Paid for Properties Acquired
from Affiliates may be More than Prices Paid
by Non-Affiliates" and "Real Property
Investments."
The Company may invest in general
partnerships or joint venture arrangements
with Affiliates as co-owners of a property.
The Company will be able to increase its
equity participation in such entity as
additional proceeds of the Offering are
received by the Company with the result that
the Company can ultimately own 100% of the
property, provided
11
<PAGE> 22
however that the affiliated general or joint
venture partner will not be entitled to any
profit or other benefit on such sale of its
equity participation to the Company. See
"Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint
Ventures."
PRIOR OFFERINGS
SUMMARY The Inland organization, during the past ten
years, has sponsored seven public and 70
private real estate programs which have
raised in excess in $273,317,000. In excess
of 19,500 investors have invested in these
Inland-sponsored programs.
Two of the Inland-sponsored public programs
and a majority of the private programs have
investment objectives similar to those of the
Company. Certain programs sponsored or
managed by Affiliates of the Advisor have
experienced setbacks during the course of
business, including commercial tenant
defaults or move-outs, unfavorable changes in
the tax laws and higher than expected
vacancies as apartment markets weakened.
These negative events have had the effect of
reducing the benefits which investors in
those programs would have received. The
degree of impact these negative events have
had on the ability of the affected programs
to attain their original investment
objectives varies by program. See "Prior
Performance of the Company's Affiliates" and
"Prior Performance Tables."
ARTICLES OF
AMENDMENT AND
RESTATEMENT Investors should be particularly aware of the
following provisions contained in the
Company's Articles of Incorporation, as
amended and restated to date (the
"Articles"):
- Limitation on accumulation of
shares: In order for the Company to
qualify as a REIT, no more than 50%
of the outstanding Shares may be
owned, directly or indirectly, by
five or fewer individuals at any
time during the last half of the
Company's taxable year. To ensure
that the Company will not fail to
qualify as a REIT under this test,
the Articles place restrictions on
the accumulation of Shares by a
single Stockholder. These
restrictions may: (i) discourage a
change of control of the Company;
(ii) deter individuals and entities
from making tender offers for
Shares, which offers may be
attractive to Stockholders; or (iii)
limit the opportunity for
Stockholders to receive a premium
for their Shares in the event an
investor is making purchases of
Shares in order to acquire a block
of Shares. See "Description of
Securities- -Restrictions on
Transfer."
- Voting rights: Each Share is
entitled to one vote and the
Articles do not provide for
cumulative voting. Stockholders
owning a majority of the outstanding
Shares have the right to: (i) amend
the Articles subject to certain
limitations; (ii) dissolve the
Company; (iii) elect or remove the
Board of Directors; and (iv) approve
or disapprove the sale of all or
substantially all of the
12
<PAGE> 23
assets of the Company other than in
connection with a dissolution of the
Company. All Stockholders will be
bound by the vote of Stockholders
owning a majority of the outstanding
Shares, even if a Stockholder does
not vote with the majority.
Stockholders owning in the aggregate
at least 10% of the outstanding
Shares may request the Directors to
call a meeting for the purpose of
voting on any of the foregoing.
- Stockholders owning at least
two-thirds of the outstanding Shares
must approve certain exchange
offers, mergers, consolidations or
similar transactions commonly known
as Roll-Ups, which affect certain
Stockholder rights. Such
super-majority provisions may have
the effect of: (i) discouraging a
change in control of the Company;
(ii) deterring individuals and
entities from making tender offers
for Shares, which offers may be
attractive to Stockholders; and
(iii) limiting the opportunity for
Stockholders to receive a premium
for their Shares in the event an
investor is making purchases of
Shares in order to acquire a block
of Shares.
- Changes in investment objectives and
policies: The Directors cannot
change the investment objectives or
policies of the Company unless an
amendment to the Articles is made,
which would require the approval of
Stockholders owning a majority of
the outstanding Shares.
- Distributions: Distributions are
payable out of available cash.
See "Summary of the Organizational Documents"
and "Description of Securities."
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT
AND SHARE REPURCHASE
PROGRAMS The Company provides the following programs
to facilitate investment in the Shares and to
provide limited liquidity for Stockholders
until such time as a market for the Shares
develops:
- The Distribution Reinvestment
Program (the "DRP") allows
Stockholders who purchase Shares
pursuant either to the Prior
Offering or to this Offering to
automatically reinvest Distributions
by purchasing additional Shares from
the Company, subject to the
limitations on Share ownership
imposed by the Articles. Such
purchases will not be subject to
selling commissions or the Marketing
Contribution and Due Diligence
Expense Allowance Fee and will be
sold at a price of $9.05 per Share.
See "Distribution Reinvestment and
Share Repurchase Programs --
Distribution Reinvestment Program."
- The Share Repurchase Program
provides, subject to certain
restrictions, existing Stockholders
with limited, interim liquidity by
enabling them to sell Shares back to
the Company at a price of $9.05 per
Share (a reduction of $.95 from the
$10 Offering price, reflecting
selling commissions and the
Marketing
13
<PAGE> 24
Contribution and Due Diligence
Expense Allowance Fee). Repurchases
will be on a first come, first
served basis, and will be limited in
the following ways: (i) not more
than $500,000 worth of the
outstanding Shares will be
repurchased in any given year; and
(ii) the funds available for
repurchase will be limited to
available proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of Shares
under the Distribution Reinvestment
Program. Shares purchased by the
Company are not available for
resale. The Share Repurchase
Program will be terminated by the
Company upon the development of a
secondary market for the Company's
Shares or upon the listing of the
Company's Shares on a national
securities exchange or inclusion for
quotation on a national market
system. See "Distribution
Reinvestment and Share Repurchase
Programs -- Share Repurchase
Program."
WHO MAY INVEST The section of the Prospectus titled "Who May
Invest" describes minimum net worth and
income requirements, as well as a detailed
explanation of other suitability requirements
which investors must meet prior to
subscription. In particular, investors must
have either: (i) a minimum annual gross
income of $45,000 and a net worth (exclusive
of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of
$45,000; or (ii) a net worth (determined with
the foregoing exclusions) of $150,000.
Suitability standards may be higher in
certain states. See "Who May Invest."
ANNUAL VALUATIONS Stockholders that are subject to ERISA will
be provided with an annual statement of value
reporting the value of each Share based upon
an estimated amount they would receive if the
Company's assets were sold as of the close of
the Company's fiscal year and if such
proceeds (without reduction for selling
expenses) and all the other funds of the
Company were distributed in liquidation of
the Company; provided, however, the Net Asset
Value of each Share will be deemed to be $10
per Share for the first three annual
statements of value following termination of
the Offering. There can be no assurance
that: (i) such value could or will actually
be realized by the Company or by Stockholders
upon liquidation (in part because estimates
of value do not necessarily indicate the
price at which assets could be sold, and
because no attempt will be made to estimate
the expenses of selling any asset of the
Company); (ii) Stockholders could realize
such value if they were to attempt to sell
their Shares; or (iii) such valuation would
comply with the ERISA requirements. Should
the Shares become listed on a national stock
exchange or included for quotation on a
national market system, the Company will no
longer provide such valuations. See "ERISA
Considerations."

RISK FACTORS
Purchase of the Shares offered hereby involves various risk factors in
addition to the factors set forth elsewhere herein. Prospective purchasers
should consider, among others, the following factors:
1. INVESTMENT RISKS
Limited Liquidity. There is currently no public trading
market for the Shares and no assurance exists that one will develop. An
investor may not be able to liquidate his or her investment on favorable terms,
or at all. However, by 1999, the Company anticipates that the Board of
Directors will determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company to:
(i) apply to have the Shares listed for trading on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system, provided the Company meets
the then applicable requirements; and/or (ii) commences a subsequent public
offering after completion of this Offering. The Company does not intend to
apply for listing during the term of this Offering. See "Investment Objectives
and Policies--Additional Offerings and Exchange Listing." Subject to available
funds and the Company's continued qualification as a REIT, the Company may
repurchase Shares from Stockholders. See "Distribution Reinvestment and Share
Repurchase Programs--Share Repurchase Program."
Partially Specified Fund. As of the date of this Prospectus,
the Company owned nine Neighborhood Retail Centers and one single-user retail
property. Two of the properties, the Eagle Crest Shopping Center in
Naperville, Illinois, and a Walgreens property in Decatur, Illinois were
purchased from Inland Property Sales, Inc. ("IPS") an Affiliate. These
properties were acquired with the approval of the Directors (including all of
the then Independent Directors). The Company has a commitment to purchase,
subject to completion of due diligence, an additional single-user retail
property. Although the proposed acquisition has been approved by the directors
(including all of the Independent Directors), subject to completion of due
diligence, there can be no assurance that the property will be acquired.
Although this Prospectus describes the parameters the Company will use to
acquire additional properties, as of the date of this Prospectus, no additional
properties other than the single-user retail property have been specified.
Accordingly, no information is available as to the identification, location,
operating histories, lease terms or other relevant economic and financial data
of the other properties to be purchased by the Company with the $___________
available for investment or with the Net Proceeds of this Offering (after
funding of appropriate working capital reserves). Since the Company has not
yet specified additional properties, there may be a delay between the sale of
the Shares and the Company's purchase of such other properties, which could
result in a delay in the benefits to investors, if any, of an investment in the
Company.
The Advisor will evaluate potential additional property
acquisitions and will engage in discussions with sellers for the purchase of
properties for the Company. At such time during the Offering as the Advisor
believes a reasonable probability exists that a property will be acquired on
specified terms (i.e., upon completion of due diligence, which includes review
of the title insurance commitment, appraisal and environmental analysis), the
Company will issue a supplement to this Prospectus setting forth certain
details concerning the proposed acquisition. Investors should be aware,
however, that acquisitions at this stage require negotiation of final binding
agreements and there can be no assurance that any such properties will be
acquired on the same terms as described in any supplements or other disclosure
prepared with respect thereto. In addition, any properties which are
identified by the Company prior to the termination of the Offering may not be
acquired unless sufficient Shares are sold. In the event any properties which
are disclosed to Stockholders as potential acquisitions are not acquired, or
any properties which the Company acquires prior to the termination of the
Offering but are not retained, subsequently
16
<PAGE> 27
acquired properties may be materially different in a number of respects. In
addition, investors should be aware that audited financial statements of prior
operations of existing properties acquired by the Company, or of the lessees or
of the property or guarantor of the underlying leases, generally will not be
available until after a supplement to this Prospectus describing such
acquisition has been provided to potential investors, and financial statements
for recently constructed properties may not be available at all.
Limitation on Area in which the Company May Acquire
Neighborhood Retail Centers. Acquisition of Neighborhood Retail Centers (but
not single-user retail properties) is limited primarily to the approximate
150-mile radius surrounding the Advisor's headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.
Adverse economic conditions affecting that area could adversely affect the
Company's ability to acquire, lease and dispose of such properties.
Insufficient Reserves. The Company has established a working
capital reserve of $590,500 (equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds from
the Prior Offering) and will supplement such working capital reserve with an
additional 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds from this Offering. However, if
such amount is insufficient to meet the unanticipated cash needs of the
Company, the Company may have to obtain financing from either affiliated or
unaffiliated sources to service such cash needs. There is no assurance that
this financing will be available or if available, will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company.
Mortgage Indebtedness and Other Borrowings May Increase the
Company's Business Risks. It is the Company's intention, whenever possible, to
acquire properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying
the entire purchase price of each property in cash or for shares of the
Company's stock. However, if it is determined to be in the best interests of
the Company, the Company will, in certain instances, utilize borrowing to
acquire properties. The Company may later incur or increase mortgage
indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected properties, if favorable
financing terms are available. The proceeds from such loans would be used to
acquire additional properties for the purpose of increasing Cash Flow and
providing further diversity. The Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings
related to all of the Company's properties will not exceed 50% of their
combined fair market values, however, the maximum amount of borrowings in
relation to Net Assets shall, in the absence of the consent of a majority of
the Stockholders, not exceed 300% of Net Assets. Incurring mortgage
indebtedness increases the risk of possible loss. If the Company defaults on
its secured indebtedness, the lender may foreclose and the Company could lose
its investment in the properties securing such loan. Any such foreclosure
would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the
outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage, and if the outstanding
balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds the basis of the property
to the Company, there could be taxable income upon a foreclosure. It will be
the policy of the Company to seek to incur only non-recourse mortgage
indebtedness, if available, meaning that the lender may look only to the
property or properties securing the mortgage indebtedness for satisfaction of
the indebtedness. See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Borrowing" and
"Real Property Investments."
Under certain circumstances, the Company may borrow for the
purpose of maintaining the operations of the Company. Borrowing may increase
the Company's business risks. Debt service increases the expense of operations
since the Company will be responsible to retire the debt and pay the attendant
interest which may result in decreased cash available for distributions to
Stockholders. Also, lenders to the Company may require restrictions on future
borrowings, distributions and operating policies. The Company may incur
indebtedness if necessary to satisfy the requirement that the Company
distribute
17
<PAGE> 28
at least 95% of its REIT taxable income (as defined in the Code), or otherwise
as is necessary or advisable to assure that the Company maintains its
qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Limits on Share Accumulation May Have an Anti-Takeover Effect.
In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the
outstanding Shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer
individuals at any time during the last half of each of the Company's taxable
years. To ensure that the Company will not fail to qualify as a REIT under
this test, the Articles provide that no person may own, or be deemed to own by
virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% of the number
or value of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company. These
restrictions may: (i) discourage a change of control of the Company; (ii)
deter individuals and entities from making tender offers for Shares, which
offers may be attractive to Stockholders; or (iii) limit the opportunity for
Stockholders to receive a premium for their Shares in the event an investor is
making purchases of Shares in order to acquire a block of Shares. See
"Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."
Objectives of Joint Venture Partners May Conflict with the
Company's Objectives. Certain of the Company's investments may be owned by
joint ventures between the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor. Investments
in joint ventures which own properties may involve risks not otherwise present,
including, for example, that the Company's co-venturer might become bankrupt,
that such co-venturer may at any time have economic or business interests or
goals which are inconsistent with the interests or goals of the Company or that
such co-venturer may be in a position to take action contrary to the Company's
instructions, requests, policies or objectives. Among other things, actions by
such co-venturer might subject property owned by the joint venture to
liabilities in excess of those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture
or other adverse consequences. See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint
Ventures."
Seller Financing by Company May Delay Liquidation or
Reinvestment. The Company intends to use its best efforts to sell its
properties for cash. However, the Company may sell its properties either
subject to or upon the assumption of any then outstanding mortgage debt or,
alternatively, may provide financing to purchasers with terms advantageous to
the Company. A purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage may be taken as
part payment and there are no limitations or restrictions on the Company taking
such purchase money obligations. The terms of payment to the Company will be
affected by custom in the area where the property being sold is located and the
then prevailing economic conditions. To the extent the Company receives
promissory notes or other property in lieu of cash from sales, such proceeds
(other than any interest payable thereon) will not be included in net sale
proceeds until and to the extent the promissory notes or other property are
actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of and, therefore, the
distribution of the proceeds of a sale to the Stockholders may be delayed until
such time. In many cases, the Company will receive initial downpayments (cash
and other property) in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling
price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. See
"Investment Objectives and Policies--Sale or Disposition of Properties."
Loss on Dissolution and Termination. At the date of
dissolution or termination of the Company, the undistributed proceeds realized
from the liquidation of assets, if any, will be distributed to Stockholders,
but only after the satisfaction of claims of creditors. Accordingly, a
Stockholder's ability to recover all of his or her investment under such
circumstances will depend on the amount of funds so realized and claims to be
satisfied therefrom.
Limited Experience of Management in Operation of a REIT.
IREIC and its Affiliates have, during the past ten years, sponsored seven
public and 70 private real estate programs which have raised
18
<PAGE> 29
in excess of $273,317,000. Two of the seven public programs, Inland's Monthly
Income Fund, L.P. and Inland Monthly Income Fund II, L.P., had investment
objectives which were substantially similar to those of the Company. However,
each of the seven prior public programs, including Inland's Monthly Income
Fund, L.P. and Inland Monthly Income Fund II, L.P., were structured as limited
partnerships and not as real estate investment trusts. Additionally, the
Company, which is the first IREIC-sponsored REIT, did not commence operations
until January 1995. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will
attain its investment objectives since the Company's management, the Advisor
and its Affiliates have limited experience in the management and operation of a
REIT.
2. COMPANY RISKS
Prices Paid for Properties Acquired from Affiliates may be
More than Prices Paid by Non-Affiliates. Two properties owned by the Company,
the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property, were
acquired by the Company from an Affiliate. The Articles provide that the
Company may not purchase any property from an Affiliate unless a majority of
the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not
interested in the transaction approve the purchase as fair and reasonable to
the Company and at a price to the Company no greater than the cost of the asset
to such Affiliate, or if the price to the Company is in excess of such cost,
that substantial justification for such excess exists and that such excess is
reasonable. In no event may the cost of such asset to the Company exceed its
current appraised value. The Directors (including all of the then Independent
Directors) approved the purchases pursuant to the standards described herein.
However, there can be no assurance that the prices paid to the Affiliate for
the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property or
properties which may, in the future be acquired from Affiliates, did not or
would not exceed that which would be paid by an unaffiliated buyer.
Conflicts of Interest Between the Company and its Affiliates.
The Company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its
relationship with its Affiliates, such as competition for the time and services
of Affiliates of the Advisor and acquisition of properties from Persons with
whom Affiliates of the Advisor have had prior business relationships and the
due diligence investigation of the Company by the Dealer Manager which cannot
be considered to be an independent review of the Company and, therefore, may
not be as meaningful as a review conducted by an unaffiliated broker-dealer.
Additionally, a substantial portion of the proceeds of the Offering will be
paid to an Affiliate for managing the Company. Such proceeds of the Offering
will pay expenses which include sales commissions and due diligence expense
allowances to the Dealer Manager, and reimbursement to an Affiliate for costs
related to organizing and offering the Shares for sale. An Advisor Asset
Management Fee of not more than 1% per annum of the Average Invested Assets
will be paid quarterly to the Advisor. Payment of the Advisor Asset Management
Fee is subordinated to the payment of Distributions in an amount equal to the
Current Return. Additionally, an Affiliate is being paid a Property Management
Fee equal to not more than 4.5% of the gross revenues of each of the Company's
properties on a monthly basis. The Advisor and its Affiliates will receive
substantial fees and payments for services rendered to the Company irrespective
of whether Stockholders receive Distributions.
If an Affiliate breaches its fiduciary obligations to the
Company, or does not resolve conflicts of interest in the manner described in
the section of this Prospectus titled "Conflicts of Interest--Process for
Resolution of Conflicting Opportunities," the Company may not meet its
investment objectives. The agreement between the Advisor and the Company (the
"Advisory Agreement") grants the Company the first opportunity to buy any
Neighborhood Retail Centers placed under contract by the Advisor or its
Affiliates provided the Company is able to close the purchase of such property
within 60 days. The
19
<PAGE> 30
Advisory Agreement also requires that any single-user retail property net
leased by a creditworthy tenant located anywhere in the United States which is
placed under contract or is about to be placed under contract by the Advisor or
its Affiliates may be purchased by the Company, provided that: (i) the Company
has funds available to make the purchase; (ii) the Board votes to make the
purchase within five days of being offered such property by the Advisor; (iii)
the property meets the Company's acquisition criteria; and (iv) in the event
that more than one real estate investment program sponsored by Affiliates of
the Advisor has funds available to make the purchase, such property will first
be offered to the program which has had funds available for the longest period
of time. The Board, at its discretion, may reject any property presented for
purchase by the Advisor. In exercising this judgment, the Board will consider
the property's location and size and whether the purchase of the property is
consistent with the Company's investment objectives. Any property rejected by
the Board for purchase by the Company may be purchased by the Advisor or its
Affiliates. The Independent Directors, by a majority vote, must approve all
actions by the Advisor or its Affiliates which present potential conflicts of
interest with the Company. See "Compensation Table" and "Management-- The
Advisory Agreement."
Dependence on the Directors and Advisor. The Board has
supervisory control over virtually all aspects of the Company's operations.
The success of the Company will depend to a large extent on the Board's ability
to oversee, and the quality of, the management provided by the Advisor, the
Management Agent, their Affiliates and employees for day-to-day operations.
Therefore, the Company will be dependent, in large part, on the ability of the
Advisor and its Affiliates to retain the services of each of its executive
officers and key employees, however, none of such individuals has an employment
agreement with the Advisor or its Affiliates. The loss of any of these
individuals could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The Company
does not currently maintain key man life insurance policies on any of the
individuals employed by the Advisor or its Affiliates. See "Management."
Dilution. In the event the Company: (i) commences a
subsequent public offering of its Shares or of convertible debt or Preferred
Shares; or (ii) issues Shares or Preferred Shares upon exercise of warrants,
including the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, or to sellers of properties acquired
by the Company in lieu of or in addition to cash consideration, investors
purchasing Shares in this Offering who do not participate in any future stock
issuance will experience dilution of their equity investment in the Company.
The Soliciting Dealer Warrants issued to the Dealer Manager in connection with
the Prior Offering and to be issued in connection with this Offering, as well
as the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, are being registered as part of
this Offering. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants and/or convertible securities,
if any, likely would be exercised or converted at a time when the Company would
be able to obtain needed capital through a new offering of its securities on
terms more favorable than those provided by such securities. As long as such
securities remain unexercised or unconverted, the terms on which the Company
could raise additional capital may be adversely affected.
All Stockholders Bound by Vote of Majority. The Articles, in
most cases, require a vote of only a majority of the Stockholders on those
matters on which Stockholders are required to vote. Therefore, a substantial
minority of the Stockholders may be bound by the decision of the majority of
the Stockholders with respect to any matters put to the Stockholders.
Company's and Stockholders' Rights Against the Directors and
the Advisor are Limited. The Directors and the Advisor are held harmless and
indemnified for certain actions taken by them in good faith and without
negligence or misconduct pursuant to the Articles or the Advisory Agreement,
respectively. As a result, the Company and the Stockholders may have more
limited rights against the Directors and the Advisor than they would otherwise
have under common law and, furthermore, may be
20
<PAGE> 31
obligated to fund the defense of the Directors and the Advisor in certain
cases. In particular, such persons shall not be liable to the Company and the
Stockholders unless: (i) it is proved that the person actually received an
improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; and (ii) to the
extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is
entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person's
action, or failure to act, was the result of active or deliberate dishonesty
and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. See
"Fiduciary Responsibility of Directors and the Advisor; Indemnification."
3. RISKS OF REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP
General. All real property investments are subject to some
degree of risk. Equity real estate investments may limit the ability of the
Company to promptly vary its portfolio in response to changing economic,
financial and investment conditions. Such investments will be subject to risks
such as adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions
which reduce the demand for the goods or services of tenants. Such investments
also will be subject to other factors affecting real estate values, including:
(i) possible federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents,
prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption and prices, water and
environmental restrictions and other factors affecting real property; (ii)
increasing labor and material costs; and (iii) the attractiveness of the
property to tenants in the neighborhood.
The Company is subject to the risk that tenants, as well as
lease guarantors, if any, may be unable to make their lease payments. A
default by a lessee, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or
other premature termination of a lease could, depending on the size of the
leased premises and the Advisor's ability to successfully find a substitute
tenant, have an adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. See
"Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates--Loan Modifications and
Work-Outs."
Competition for Tenants and Customers. The Company could be
adversely affected in the event retail centers are built in locations
competitive with properties owned by the Company, causing increased competition
for customer traffic and credit tenants. This could result in decreased cash
flow for tenants and may require the Company to make capital improvements to
its properties which it would not have otherwise made.
Hazardous Waste, Environmental Liens and Other Governmental
Regulations. Federal and state statutes impose, under certain circumstances,
liability on property owners or operators for the clean-up or removal of
hazardous substances found on their properties. Such statutes typically allow
the government to place liens for such liabilities against affected properties,
which liens will be senior in priority to other liens. In addition, there are
various local, state and federal health and safety regulations under which the
Company could, under certain circumstances, have responsibility for compliance
and liability for fines or damages for noncompliance. For example, properties
acquired by the Company likely will be subject to the Americans with
Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), which generally requires that public
accommodations, including restaurants and retail stores, be made accessible to
disabled persons. See "--Costs Associated with Compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act" in this Section. Under net leases, the tenant typically
is responsible for compliance with the ADA and other laws and regulations or is
required to indemnify the Company when the law or regulation places the burden
on the landlord. However, the Company could be liable for violations of such
laws and regulations to the extent the tenant does not have sufficient
resources to provide such indemnification. State and federal laws in this area
are constantly evolving, and the Company intends to monitor such laws and take
commercially reasonable
21
<PAGE> 32
steps to protect itself from the impact thereof, including obtaining
environmental audits of each property acquired. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be protected from the impact of such laws.
Costs Associated with Compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act. Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to
meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled
persons. These requirements became effective in 1992. The ADA has separate
compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities"
but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with
disabilities. The ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers
and could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or an
award of damages to private litigants. The Company will attempt to structure
acquisitions of its properties so that such properties are in compliance with
the ADA, at the expense of the seller, at the time of acquisition by the
Company. However, there can be no assurance that the acquisitions will be
structured in such a fashion.
Potential Additional Costs in Connection with Acquiring
Single-User Retail Properties. Certain of the properties or portions thereof
may be designed or built primarily for a particular tenant or a specific type
of use. If the Company is holding such a property upon the termination of the
lease and the tenant fails to renew, or such tenant defaults on its lease
obligations, the property may not be readily marketable to a new tenant without
substantial capital improvements or remodeling. Such improvements might
require expenditure of Company funds otherwise available for distribution or
require the sale of such property at a below-market price.
Competition with Others for the Acquisition of Properties.
The Company competes in the acquisition of property with many other entities
engaged in real estate investment activities, some of which have greater
resources than the Company. In addition, the number of entities and the amount
of funds available for investment in properties of a type suitable for
investment by the Company may increase, resulting in increased competition for
such investments and possible increases in the prices paid therefor.
Reliance on Certain Tenants. The Company could be adversely
affected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency, or a downturn in the
business, of any tenant generally occupying approximately 30% or more of the
gross leasable area ("GLA") of a Neighborhood Retail Center, or the tenant of
any single-user property ("Anchor Tenant"), or if any Anchor Tenant does not
renew its lease when it expires. In addition, lease termination by one or more
Anchor Tenants could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by
other tenants whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction in the event
an Anchor Tenant's lease is terminated. In such event, the Company's ability
to re-lease the vacated space could be adversely affected. Similarly, the
leases of certain Anchor Tenants may permit the Anchor Tenant to transfer its
lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new Anchor Tenant could adversely
affect customer traffic in the Neighborhood Retail Center and thereby reduce
the income generated by that center and could also allow other tenants to make
reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases at the center. Each of
these developments could adversely affect the Company's revenues and its
ability to make expected Distributions.
Inability of Lessees to Meet Their Obligations. The Company
is subject to the risk that tenants, as well as lease guarantors, if any, may
be unable to make their lease payments. A default by a lessee and/or the
failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other premature
termination of a lease could, depending on the size of the property and the
Advisor's ability to successfully find a substitute tenant, have an adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company.
22
<PAGE> 33
Restrictions on Re-leasing Space. In many cases, tenant
leases will contain provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell
certain types of merchandise or provide certain types of services within a
Neighborhood Retail Center, or will limit the ability of other tenants to sell
such merchandise or provide such services. When re-leasing space after a
vacancy occurs, these "exclusives" may limit the number and types of
prospective tenants for the vacant space.
Uninsured Losses; Unavailability of Insurance. Each lessee
shall be responsible for insuring its goods and premises and lessees may also
reimburse the Company for a share of the cost of acquiring comprehensive
insurance for the property in which it is located, including casualty,
liability, fire and extended coverage customarily obtained for similar
properties in amounts which the Advisor determines are sufficient to cover
reasonably foreseeable losses. Tenants of single-user, net leased properties
will provide such insurance for those properties. However, there are certain
types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses due to
wars) which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should such
an event occur to, or cause the destruction of, a property owned by the
Company, the Company could lose both its invested capital and anticipated
profits from such property. See "Investment Objectives and
Policies--Description of Leases."
Risk of Recharacterization of Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
In addition to the purchase of properties subject to net leases, the Company
intends to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, pursuant to which the
Company will purchase a property from an entity and lease such property to such
entity. In the event of the bankruptcy of such a lessee, a transaction
structured as a sale and leaseback may be recharacterized as either a financing
or as a joint venture, which may result in adverse consequences to the Company.
To the extent the sale and leaseback is treated as a financing, the Company
might not be considered the owner of such property and as such would have the
status of a creditor with respect to the property in question.
Potential Additional Costs in Connection with Acquiring Newly
Constructed Properties. The Company intends primarily to acquire existing or
newly constructed property currently in operation. Although the Company will
only acquire newly constructed buildings on a turnkey basis, the builder's
failure to perform may necessitate legal action by the Company to rescind its
purchase of a property, to compel performance or to sue for damages. Any such
legal action may result in increased costs to the Company.
Risks Associated with Investments in Unimproved Real Property.
The Board has the discretion to invest not more than 10% of the assets of the
Company in unimproved real property. Investment in such real property, in
addition to the risks of real estate investment in general, include the expense
and delay which may be associated with re-zoning the land for a higher use or
the development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or
community groups.
4. TAX RISKS
General. There are various federal income tax risks
associated with an investment in the Company. Although the provisions of the
Code relevant to an investment in the Company are generally described in the
Section of the Prospectus titled "Federal Income Tax Considerations," each
potential investor is strongly urged to consult his or her own tax advisor
concerning the effects of federal income tax law on an investment in the
Company and on his or her individual tax situation.
23
<PAGE> 34
Investors should recognize that many of the advantages and
economic benefits of an investment in the Company depend upon the continued
treatment of the Company as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. If the
Company were no longer taxed as a REIT, the Company would pay a corporate level
tax on its income which would reduce its cash available to pay Distributions
and the yield from an investment in the Company. The continued treatment of
the Company as a REIT is dependent on the law and regulations, which are
subject to change, and on the Company's ability to continue to satisfy a
variety of objective tests set forth in the Code.
Among the various risks associated with the federal income tax
aspects of the Offering of which investors should be aware are:
Risk of Failing to Qualify as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT
involves the application of certain technical and highly complex provisions of
the Code to various factual matters and circumstances based on the actual
operations of the Company, some of which are not within the Company's control.
In particular, timing differences between the recognition of income and the
receipt of cash could cause the Company to have difficulty meeting the REIT
requirement of distributing 95% of taxable income. Although the Company was
organized and intends to operate so as to continue to qualify as a REIT, no
assurance can be given that the Company will in fact be able to so qualify.
Further, the Company's desire to maintain REIT status could cause it not to
acquire certain properties or undertake certain activities.
If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT or loses its REIT
status, its Distributions will not be deductible and its income will be subject
to tax, which will substantially reduce the cash available to pay
Distributions. In addition, such tax liability might cause the Company to
borrow funds, liquidate certain of its investments or take other steps which
could affect its operating results. Moreover, if the Company's REIT status is
terminated because of the failure to meet a technical REIT test or it
voluntarily revokes its election, the Company would be disqualified from
electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in
which REIT status is lost.
Limitations on Share Ownership. In order for the Company to
qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the outstanding Shares may be owned,
directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the
last half of the Company's taxable year. To ensure that the Company will not
fail to qualify as a REIT under this test, the Articles provide that no person
may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the
Code, more than 9.8% of the number or value of the issued and outstanding stock
of the Company. See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."
Tax Liability on Reinvested Distributions. Stockholders that
participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Program will be deemed to have
received, and will for income tax purposes be taxed on, the amount reinvested
in Shares. Therefore, Stockholders (other than Tax-Exempt Entities) will have
to use funds from other sources to pay their tax liability on the value of the
Shares received. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Other Tax
Considerations--Distribution Reinvestment Program."
Limitations on Opinion of Counsel. The opinion of Counsel is
based and conditioned on various assumptions and representations made by the
Company as to certain factual matters. As set forth more fully in the Section
of the Prospectus titled "Federal Income Tax Considerations," Counsel has
expressed its opinion based on the facts described in this Prospectus, the
Articles and certain representations by the Company and the Advisor that: (i)
the Company has been organized in conformity with the requirements for
qualification as a REIT, beginning with its taxable year ending December 31,
24
<PAGE> 35
1995 and that its method of operation will enable the Company to continue to
satisfy the REIT Requirements; and (ii) distributions to a Stockholder which is
a Tax-Exempt Entity will not constitute UBTI under current law, unless: (a)
such Stockholder has financed the acquisition of its Shares with "acquisition
indebtedness" (within the meaning of the Code); or (b) a Qualified Trust (as
defined herein) owns more than 10% of the Shares and the Company is a
"Pension-Held REIT" (as defined herein). See, however, "Description of
Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."
The Company's qualification as a REIT will depend upon the
Company's ability to meet, through actual operating results, various tests
imposed by the Code. Counsel will not review these operating results or
compliance with the qualification standards. Accordingly, no assurance can be
given that the actual operating results of the Company will allow it to satisfy
the REIT requirements. In addition, this opinion represents Counsel's legal
judgment based on the law in effect as at the date hereof, and is not binding
on the Service and could be subject to modification or withdrawal due to future
changes in the law.
5. ERISA RISKS
Suitability of the Company's Investments for Qualified Pension
and Profit-Sharing Trusts. When considering an investment in the Company with
a portion of the assets of a Qualified Plan, a fiduciary should consider: (i)
whether the investment satisfies the diversification requirements of Section
404(a)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or other applicable restrictions imposed by ERISA; and (ii) whether
the investment is prudent, since there is anticipated to be only a limited
market in which it can sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares. The Company
has not, and will not, evaluate whether an investment in the Company is
suitable for any particular plan, but, subject to the disclosure included
therein, will accept such entities as Stockholders if an entity otherwise meets
the suitability standards. See "ERISA Considerations."
If the Company is considered a Pension-Held REIT, an
investment in the Company may also produce UBTI which may cause a Qualified
Plan holding 10% or more of the Shares to pay a tax on a portion of the income
distributed to it by the Company. Whether the Company will constitute a
Pension-Held REIT will depend on the concentration of ownership by a Qualified
Plan, a factor that is not within the control of the Company. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations" and "Description of Securities--Restrictions on
Transfer."
In addition to considering their fiduciary responsibilities
under ERISA and the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code,
advisors to Qualified Plans should also consider the effect of the "Plan Asset"
regulations issued by the Department of Labor. See "ERISA Considerations."
Stockholders subject to ERISA will be provided with an annual
statement of value reporting the value of each Share based upon an estimated
amount (as determined by the Company) they would receive if the Company's
properties were sold as of the close of the Company's fiscal year and if such
proceeds (without reduction for selling expenses), together with the other
funds of the Company were distributed in liquidation of the Company; provided,
however, the Net Asset Value of each Share is expected to be at least $10
through the termination of this Offering. This annual valuation may be revised
by the Company from time to time. There can be no assurance that: (i) such
value could actually be realized by the Company or by Stockholders upon
liquidation (in part because estimates of value do not necessarily indicate the
price at which assets could be sold, and because no attempt will be made to
estimate the expenses of selling any asset of the Company); (ii) Stockholders
could realize such value if
25
<PAGE> 36
they were to attempt to sell their Shares; or (iii) such value would comply
with the ERISA requirements. Should the Shares become listed for trading on a
national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system,
the Company will no longer provide such valuations.
IN VIEW OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX ASPECTS OF THE OFFERING,
PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT CERTAIN OF THE TAX ASPECTS OF THE
OFFERING WILL NOT BE THE SAME FOR ALL INVESTORS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE
STRONGLY ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THEIR
OWN TAX SITUATION PRIOR TO INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.
ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS OF OFFERING
The amounts set forth in the table below represent the Company's
current estimates concerning the use of the Gross Offering Proceeds. All
proceeds of the Offering are held in trust by the Company for the benefit of
the Stockholders, to be used only for the purposes set forth above and will not
be commingled. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company owned ten
properties, including nine Neighborhood Retail Centers and one single-user
retail property and had approximately $_______ available for additional
investments. The Company has a commitment to purchase, subject to completion
of due diligence, an additional single-user retail property, on an all cash
basis, for $2,455,000. There can be no assurance that this property will be
acquired. The Company estimates that 86.79% of Gross Offering Proceeds will be
used to acquire properties if the Maximum Offering is sold. If the Maximum
Offering is sold, 7.13% of the Gross Offering Proceeds will be utilized to pay
selling and due diligence expenses to unaffiliated third parties and 4.58% of
the Gross Offering Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor and its Affiliates to
pay for the costs of the Offering and the Marketing Contribution and Due
Diligence Expense Allowance.

- -------------------
(1) The amounts shown in this table represent the Company's
current estimates of the uses of the Gross Offering Proceeds if the Maximum
Offering Amount is sold, and, accordingly, may not accurately reflect the
actual application of such proceeds.
(2) The Company will pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions
equal to up to 7% of a maximum of $100,000,000 of the Gross Offering Proceeds
and one Soliciting Dealer Warrant for every 40 Shares sold, all or part of
which compensation may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers. The
Dealer Manager will also receive the Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence
Expense Allowance Fee equal up to 2.5% of a maximum of $100,000,000 of the
Gross Offering Proceeds, some portion of which may be reallowed to Soliciting
Dealers. This category of expense will pay all amounts attributable to
marketing and bona fide due diligence expenses. Certain volume discounts may
be given on orders of 25,000 Shares or more and Soliciting Dealers may, in
their discretion, request that the Company pay them less than the maximum
permitted compensation in respect of the sale of Shares; however, such
discounts will not affect the amount of proceeds to the Company. No selling
commission will be paid on any Shares purchased by the Advisor, its Affiliates,
the Dealer Manager or Soliciting Dealers. Any Shares purchased by the Advisor
or its Affiliates will be for investment purposes only and not with a view
toward resale. A maximum of 1,000,000 Shares purchased under the Distribution
Reinvestment Program will not be subject to selling commissions or the
Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee and will be sold
at a price of $9.05 per Share ($9,050,000 if all such Shares are sold). See
"Conflicts of Interest," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," "Plan of Distribution" and "Distribution
Reinvestment and Share Repurchase Programs--Distribution Reinvestment Program."
(3) These amounts are the Advisor's best estimates of the legal,
accounting, printing and other offering expenses, including amounts for the
reimbursement of the Advisor for marketing, salaries and direct expenses of its
employees while directly engaged in registering and marketing the Shares and
other marketing and organization expenses. The Advisor has guaranteed payment
of all public offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and the
marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance fee) in excess of
5.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds or all Organization and Offering Expenses
(including such selling expenses) which together exceed 15% of the Gross
Offering Proceeds. This guaranty is without recourse to or reimbursement by
the Company.
(4) The Advisor will be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket
Acquisition Expenses in an amount estimated to be 0.5% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds ($545,250, assuming the Maximum Offering, including Shares sold under
the DRP). In addition, the Advisor will be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket
Acquisition Expenses equal to 0.5% of any funds borrowed by the Company to
acquire properties. Such expenses with respect to borrowed funds will be
payable from the proceeds of such borrowings ($272,625, assuming the Maximum
Offering, including Shares sold under the DRP, are sold, and the borrowings
equal 50% of the Maximum Offering). Acquisition Expenses include but are not
limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor in the selection,
evaluation and acquisition of, and investment in, the Company's properties,
whether or not acquired or made, including, but not limited to: surveys,
appraisals, title insurance and escrow fees, non-refundable option payments on
properties not acquired, legal and accounting fees and expenses, computer use
related expenses, architectural and engineering reports, environmental and
asbestos audits, travel and communication expenses and personnel and
miscellaneous expenses related to the selection and acquisition of properties.
27
<PAGE> 38
(5) The Advisor will not receive a fee for the acquisition of
properties. However, the seller of a property may pay a real estate brokerage
commission to a third party in connection with the Company's purchase of a
property. Since a seller may fix the selling price of a property at an amount
sufficient to cover the cost of a real estate commission, the Company, as
purchaser, may indirectly pay such amount in the purchase price, which amount
may be considered an acquisition fee. The Advisor will endeavor, whenever
possible, to purchase properties directly from sellers, without the involvement
of a real estate broker. When a property has been listed by a seller with a
real estate broker, the Advisor will endeavor, whenever possible, to be
allocated a portion of the real estate brokerage commission paid by the seller.
All real estate brokerage commissions so allocated to the Advisor will then be
remitted in their entirety to the Company by the Advisor.
(6) The Company will add 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds to its
working capital reserve.
WHO MAY INVEST
An investment in Shares involves certain risks and is suitable only as
a long-term investment for persons of adequate financial means who have no
immediate need for liquidity in their investment. Shares will be sold only to
persons who purchase a minimum of 300 Shares ($3,000) or Tax-Exempt Entities
which purchase a minimum of 100 Shares ($1,000, except Iowa where the minimum
investment for IRAs will be $3,000). In addition, the Company has established
financial suitability standards for investors who purchase Shares. These
standards require investors to have either: (i) a minimum annual gross income
of $45,000 and a net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and
automobiles) of $45,000; or (ii) a net worth (determined with the foregoing
exclusions) of $150,000. In the case of gifts to minors, the suitability
standards must be met by the custodian account or by the donor and by
acceptance of the confirmation of purchase or delivery of the Shares, an
investor represents that he satisfied any applicable suitability standards.
In purchasing Shares, custodians or trustees of employee pension
benefits plans or IRAs may be subject to the fiduciary duties employed by ERISA
or other applicable laws and to the prohibited transaction rules prescribed by
ERISA and related provisions of the Code. In addition, prior to purchasing
Shares, the trustee or custodian of an employee pension benefit plan or an IRA
should determine that such an investment would be permissible under the
governing instruments of such plan or account and applicable law. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of Stockholders--Taxation of Tax-Exempt
Stockholders" and "ERISA Considerations."
Suitability standards may be higher in certain states. Investors must
meet all of the applicable requirements set forth in the Subscription
Agreement. Under the laws of certain states, an investor may transfer his
Shares only to persons who meet similar standards, and the Company may require
certain assurances that these standards are met. Investors should carefully
read the requirements in connection with resales of Shares set forth in the
Subscription Agreement and under "Description of Securities--Restrictions on
Transfer."
The Soliciting Dealers Agreements between the Dealer Manager and each
of the Soliciting Dealers requires such securities dealers to make diligent
inquiries as required by law of all prospective purchasers in order to
ascertain whether a purchase of Shares is suitable and appropriate for such
person based upon information provided by the prospective purchaser regarding
his financial situation and investment objectives and to transmit promptly to
the Company, the fully completed subscription documentation and
28
<PAGE> 39
any other supporting documentation reasonably required by the Company. By
executing the subscription agreement relating to the Shares (the "Subscription
Agreement"), by tendering payment for Shares and by acceptance of the
confirmation of purchase or delivery of the Shares, an investor represents that
he satisfies any applicable suitability standards.
In addition, each Soliciting Dealer will, by completing the
Subscription Agreement, acknowledge its determination that the Shares are a
suitable and appropriate investment for the investor, and will be required to
represent and warrant his or her compliance with applicable laws requiring the
determination of the suitability and appropriateness of the Shares as an
investment for the subscriber. The Company will, in addition to the foregoing,
coordinate the processes and procedures utilized by the Dealer Manager and
Soliciting Dealers and, where necessary, implement such additional reviews and
procedures deemed necessary to assure the adherence by registered
representatives to the suitability standards set forth herein.
COMPENSATION TABLE
The arrangements as to compensation by the Company of the Advisor and
Affiliates are arrangements by and among entities all of which are affiliated
and, consequently, such arrangements were not determined by arm's-length
negotiations. See "Conflicts of Interest." The following table discloses the
significant compensation which may be received from the Company, directly or
indirectly, by the Advisor and its Affiliates. In those instances in which
there are maximum amounts or ceilings on the compensation which may be received
by the Advisor and its Affiliates for services rendered to the Company, the
Advisor and its Affiliates may not recover any excess amounts for those
services by reclassifying such services under a different compensation or fee
category. See "Conflicts of Interest--Receipt of Commissions, Fees and Other
Compensation by the Advisor and its Affiliates."
NONSUBORDINATED PAYMENTS
The following aggregate amounts of compensation and fees payable to
the Advisor and its Affiliates by the Company are not subordinated to the
Current Return or Cumulative Return to the Stockholders.

(2) The total of all Acquisition Expenses paid by the Company in
connection with the purchase of a property by the Company shall in no event
exceed an amount equal to 6% of the Contract Price for the Property (as defined
herein), unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors), not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve
the transaction as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total of all Acquisition Expenses
paid by the Company in connection with the purchase of a property by the
Company from an Affiliate shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 6% of the
Contract Price for the Property.
(3) The Advisor and its Affiliates will be involved in determining
the types of transactions entered into by the Company. The Advisor benefits
from the Company's retaining ownership of its properties and leveraging its
properties, while Stockholders may be better served by their sale or
disposition or acquisition or hold on an unleveraged basis. Furthermore, the
receipt and retention of certain fees and reimbursements is dependent upon the
Company making investments in properties. Therefore, the interest of the
Advisor in receiving such fees may conflict with the interest of the
Stockholders to earn income on their investment in Shares and may result in the
Company entering into transactions which may not be in the best interest of the
Stockholders.
(4) (i) The Advisor and its Affiliates will be
reimbursed for: (a) the cost to the Advisor or its Affiliates
of goods and services used for and by the Company and obtained
from unaffiliated parties; and (b) administrative services
related thereto. "Administrative services" include only
ministerial services such as typing, recordkeeping,
preparation and dissemination of Company reports, preparation
and maintenance of records regarding Stockholders,
recordkeeping and administration of the Distribution
Reinvestment and Share Repurchase Programs, preparation and
dissemination of responses to Stockholder inquiries and other
communications with Stockholders and any other recordkeeping
required for Company purposes.
(ii) In extraordinary circumstances fully
justified to the official or agency administering the state
securities laws, the Advisor and its Affiliates may provide
other goods and services to the Company if all of the
following criteria are met: (a) the goods or services must be
necessary to the prudent operation of the Company; (b) the
compensation, price or fee must be equal to the lesser of 90%
of the compensation, price or fee the Company would be
required to pay to independent parties who are rendering
comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods on
competitive terms in the same geographic location, or 90% of
the compensation, price or fee charged by the Advisor or its
Affiliates for rendering comparable services or selling or
leasing comparable goods on competitive terms; or (c) if at
least 95% of gross revenues attributable to the business of
rendering such services or selling or leasing such goods are
derived from persons other than Affiliates, the compensation,
price or fee charged by an unaffiliated person who is
rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable
goods must be on competitive terms in the same geographic
location. In addition, any such payment will be subject to
the further limitation described in paragraph (iii) below.
Extraordinary circumstances shall be presumed only when there
is an emergency situation requiring immediate action by the
Advisor or its Affiliates and the goods or services are not
immediately available from unaffiliated parties. Services
which may be performed in such extraordinary circumstances
include emergency maintenance of Company properties,
janitorial and other related services due to strikes or
lock-outs, emergency
35
<PAGE> 46
tenant evictions and repair services which require immediate
action, as well as operating and re- leasing properties with
respect to which the leases are in default or have been
terminated.
(iii) No reimbursement will be permitted to the
Advisor or its Affiliates under clause (i)(b) above for items
such as rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and
other administrative items and the salaries, fringe benefits,
travel expenses and other administrative items of any
controlling persons of the Advisor, its Affiliates or any
other supervisory personnel except in those instances in which
the Company believes it to be in the best interest of the
Company that the Advisor or its Affiliates operate or
otherwise deal with, for an interim period, a property with
respect to which the lease is in default. Permitted
reimbursements, except as set forth above, include salaries
and related salary expenses for non-supervisory services which
could be performed directly for the Company by independent
parties such as legal, accounting, transfer agent, data
processing and duplication. Controlling persons include, but
are not limited to, any person, irrespective of his or her
title, who performs functions for the Advisor similar to those
of: (a) chairman or member of the board of directors; (b)
president or executive vice president; or (c) those entities
or individuals holding 5% or more of the stock of the Advisor
or a person having the power to direct or cause the direction
of the Advisor, whether through ownership of voting
securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and subject to the approval of the Board, the
Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses related to the
activities of controlling persons undertaken in capacities
other than those which cause them to be controlling persons.
The Advisor believes that its employees and the employees of
its Affiliates and controlling persons who will perform
services for the Company for which reimbursement is allowed
pursuant to clause (ii)(c) above, have the experience and
educational background, in their respective fields of
expertise, appropriate for the performance of such services.
(iv) The Total Operating Expenses of the Company
shall not (in the absence of a satisfactory showing to the
contrary) in any fiscal year exceed the greater of: (a) 2% of
the Average Invested Assets; or (b) 25% of its Net Income for
such year. The Independent Directors may, upon a finding of
unusual and non-recurring factors which they deem sufficient,
determine that a higher level of expenses is justified in any
given year. There are certain additional restrictions on
expenses that will be borne by the Company.
(5) The Advisor and its Affiliates shall not be compensated for
any services other than those which have been fully disclosed in this
Compensation Table.
(6) The Company shall not pay, directly or indirectly, a
commission or fee to the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the
reinvestment of the proceeds of any resale, exchange, financing or refinancing
of a Company property.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of
its relationship with the Sponsor, the Advisor or its Affiliates. All
agreements and arrangements, including those relating to compensation, between
the Company and the Advisor and its Affiliates are not the result of
arm's-length negotiations. The limitations on the Advisor described below have
been adopted to control when the Company enters into transactions with the
Advisor and its Affiliates. With respect to the conflicts of interest
described herein, the Advisor and its Affiliates will endeavor to balance the
interests of the Company with the interests of the Advisor and its Affiliates
in making any determination.
1. Competition for the Time and Service of the Advisor and
Affiliates. The Company relies on the Advisor and its Affiliates for the daily
operation of the Company and the management of its assets. Affiliates of the
Advisor have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services and
functions among various existing real estate programs and any future real
estate programs or other entities which they may organize or serve, as well as
other business ventures in which they are involved. The Advisor and its
Affiliates believe they have sufficient staff to be fully capable of
discharging their responsibilities in connection with various real estate
programs and other business ventures.
The compensation paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates under
the Advisory Agreement is on terms no less favorable to the Company than those
customary for similar services performed by independent firms in the relevant
geographic area, but in no event more than 2% of the Average Invested Assets
less Other Operating Expenses. See "Compensation Table." The Advisory
Agreement provides that it may be terminated by a majority vote of the
Stockholders upon 60 days prior written notice. See "Management--The Advisory
Agreement."
2. Process for Resolution of Conflicting Opportunities.
Affiliates of the Advisor have sponsored publicly and privately offered
entities and may in the future sponsor publicly and privately offered REITs or
other entities which may have investment objectives very similar to those of
the Company. The Advisor and its Affiliates could, therefore, be subject to
conflicts of interest between the Company and other programs in connection with
the acquisition of properties. To the extent possible, the resolution of
conflicting investment opportunities between the Company and other investment
entities advised or managed by the Advisor and its Affiliates will, as a
general rule, be resolved by giving priority to the entity having uninvested
funds for the longest period of time. Specifically, the Advisory Agreement
gives the Company the first opportunity to buy Neighborhood Retail Centers
placed under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates provided the Company is
able to close the purchase of such property within 60 days. The Advisory
Agreement will also require that any single-user retail property net leased by
a creditworthy tenant located anywhere in the United States which is placed
under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates may be purchased by the Company
provided that: (i) the Company has funds available to make the purchase; (ii)
the Board votes to make the purchase within five days of being offered such
property by the Advisor; (iii) the property meets the Company's acquisition
criteria; and (iv) in the event that more than one real estate program
sponsored by Affiliates of the Advisor has funds available to make the
purchase, such property will first be offered to the program which has had
funds available for the longest period of time. Other factors which may be
considered in connection with the decisions as to the suitability of the
property for investment include: (i) the effect of the acquisition on the
diversification of each entity's portfolio; (ii) the amount of funds available
for investment; (iii) cash flow; and (iv) the estimated income tax effects of
the purchase and subsequent disposition. The Independent Directors must, by a
majority vote, approve all actions by the Advisor or its Affiliates which
present potential conflicts with the Company. See "Management--The Advisory
Agreement."
37
<PAGE> 48
It is believed that the aforementioned factors, together with
the obligations of the Advisor and the Affiliates to present to the Company any
investment opportunity which could be suitable for the Company, will help to
lessen the competition or conflicts with respect to the purchase of properties
by other entities and the Company.
3. Acquisition from Affiliates. Two of the properties acquired
by the Company were acquired from an Affiliate. The purchase prices for such
properties were not the subject of arm's-length negotiations. The Articles
provide that the purchase price of any property acquired from an Affiliate may
not exceed its fair market value as determined by a competent independent
appraiser who is a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers, and a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not interested in the transaction must approve the
purchase as fair and reasonable to the Company. The Directors (including all
of the then Independent Directors) approved these acquisitions, however, there
can be no assurance that the prices paid to the Affiliate did not exceed that
which would be paid by an unaffiliated purchaser.
4. The Company may Purchase Properties from Persons with whom
Affiliates of the Advisor have Prior Business Relationships. The Company may
purchase properties from certain sellers from whom the Advisor or its
Affiliates have purchased properties in the past and may purchase properties in
the future. In the event the Company purchases properties from such sellers,
the Advisor will experience a conflict between the current interests of the
Company and its interests in preserving any ongoing business relationship.
Nevertheless, the Advisor will not consummate such purchases in a manner which
would cause it to breach its fiduciary obligations to the Company. See
"Management."
5. Property Management Services are being Rendered by an
Affiliate of the Advisor. An Affiliate of the Advisor, Inland Commercial
Property Management, Inc., provides property management services for the
Company. The Management Agent renders the management services to the Company
on a competitive basis in a manner consistent with customary business
practices. See "Compensation Table--Nonsubordinated Payments--Operational
Stage." The Advisor and the Management Agent believe that the Management Agent
has sufficient personnel and other required resources to discharge all
responsibilities to the various properties that it manages and will manage in
the future.
6. Receipt of Commissions, Fees and Other Compensation by the
Advisor and its Affiliates. The Advisor and its Affiliates have received and
will continue to receive the compensation as described in the "Compensation
Table." Certain compensation is payable notwithstanding the lack of cash
available to make Distributions to the Stockholders. To that extent, the
Advisor benefits from the Company's retaining ownership of its properties and
leveraging its properties, while Stockholders may be better served by their
sale or disposition or acquisition or hold on an unleveraged basis.
Furthermore, the receipt and retention of certain fees and reimbursements is
dependent upon the Company making investments in properties. Therefore, the
interest of the Advisor in receiving such fees may conflict with the interest
of the Stockholders in earning income on their investment in Shares. The
Advisor and its Affiliates recognize that they have a fiduciary duty to the
Company and the Stockholders, and represent that their actions and decisions
will be made in the manner most favorable to the Company and its Stockholders,
so as not to breach their fiduciary duty. See also "Risk Factors -- Dilution"
regarding issuance of Soliciting Dealer Warrants to the Dealer Manager.
7. Non-Arm's-Length Agreements. The agreements and arrangements,
including those relating to compensation, between the Company and the Advisor
or any of its Affiliates may not be the result of arm's-length negotiations,
but are expected to approximate the terms of arm's-length transactions.
38
<PAGE> 49
While the Company will make no loans to the Advisor or its
Affiliates, the Company has and may continue to borrow money from the Advisor
or its Affiliates for various purposes including working capital requirements,
but only on terms as to interest rate, security, fees and other charges at
least as favorable to the Company (as determined by a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors)) as those charged by
unaffiliated lending institutions in the same locality on comparable loans for
the same purpose. See "Real Property Investments."
The Advisor and its Affiliates are not prohibited from
providing services to, and otherwise dealing or doing business with, persons
who deal with the Company, although there are no present arrangements with
respect to any such services. However, no rebates or "give-ups" may be
received by the Advisor or its Affiliates, nor may the Advisor or any such
Affiliates participate in any reciprocal business arrangements which would have
the effect of circumventing any of the provisions of the Advisory Agreement.
8. Legal Counsel for the Company and the Advisor is the Same Law
Firm. Shefsky Froelich & Devine Ltd. is acting as general counsel to the
Company and as special counsel to the Advisor and some of its Affiliates upon
all legal matters related to the Offering. Shefsky Froelich & Devine Ltd. is
not acting as counsel for the Stockholders or any potential investor.
There is a possibility that in the future the interests of the
various parties may become adverse, and under the Code of Professional
Responsibility of the legal profession, such counsel may be precluded from
representing any one or all of said parties. If any situation arises in which
the interests of the Company appear to be in conflict with those of the Advisor
or its Affiliates, additional counsel may be retained by one or more of the
parties to assure that their interests are adequately protected. Moreover,
should such a conflict not be readily apparent, counsel may inadvertently act
in derogation of the interest of certain parties which could affect the
Company's and, therefore, the Stockholders' ability to meet their investment
objectives.
9. Inland Securities Corporation is Participating as Dealer
Manager in the Sale of the Shares. Inland Securities Corporation, a securities
dealer affiliated with the Advisor, is participating as the Dealer Manager in
the Offering and is entitled to selling commissions and Soliciting Dealer
Warrants which may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers. See "Risk
Factors -- Dilution" and "Plan of Distribution--Compensation" regarding
issuance of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants to the Dealer Manager. Any review of
the structure, formation or operation of the Company performed by the Dealer
Manager will be conducted as if it was an independent review; however, it
cannot be considered to represent such an independent review, and such review
may not be as meaningful as a review conducted by an unaffiliated
broker-dealer. Thus, the Dealer Manager may be subject to a conflict of
interest, which may arise out of its participation in the Offering and its
affiliation with the Advisor, in performing its "due diligence" obligations
which arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). However,
the Dealer Manager believes it has properly performed and will properly perform
these "due diligence" activities.
10. The Advisor may have Conflicting Fiduciary Obligations in the
Event the Company Acquires Properties with Affiliates. The Advisor may cause
the Company to acquire an interest in a property through a joint venture with
an Affiliate of the Advisor. In such instance, the Advisor will have a
fiduciary duty to both the Company and the Affiliate participating in the joint
venture. In order to minimize the likelihood of a conflict between these
fiduciary duties, the Advisory Agreement provides guidelines for investments in
such joint ventures in various respects. In addition, the Articles provide
that
39
<PAGE> 50
a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
not otherwise interested in the transaction determine that the transaction is
fair and reasonable to the Corporation and is on terms and conditions no less
favorable than from unaffiliated third parties. See "Investment Objectives and
Policies--Joint Ventures."
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY OF DIRECTORS AND
THE ADVISOR; INDEMNIFICATION
GENERAL
Consistent with the duties and obligations of, and limitations on, the
Directors as set forth in the Articles and under the laws of the State of
Maryland, the Directors are accountable to the Stockholders as fiduciaries and
are required to perform their duties in good faith and in a manner each
Director believes to be in the best interest of the Company and its
Stockholders, with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as a prudent person
in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, the
Independent Directors must review at least annually the relationship of the
Company with the Advisor and the Advisor's performance of its duties under the
Advisory Agreement, and must determine that the compensation paid to the
Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services
performed. The Advisor also has a fiduciary duty to the Company and the
Stockholders.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
The liability of the Directors and officers of the Company is limited
to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL; accordingly, the Directors and
officers shall not be liable to the Company or its Stockholders except that
liability shall not be so limited: (a) if it is proved that the person
actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services;
and (b) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to
the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that
the person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the
proceeding.
The Company's Articles and Bylaws authorize it, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with
Section 2-418 of the MGCL, to indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses to: any Director, the Advisor or its Affiliates (each an "Indemnified
Party") provided, that: (i) the Director, Advisor or its Affiliates, have
determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or
liability was in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the Director, the
Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services on
the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of
negligence or misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party, except that in
the event the Indemnified Party is or was an Independent Director, such
liability or loss shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the
Stockholders. The Company shall not indemnify a Director, the Advisor or its
Affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one
or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims and finds that
40
<PAGE> 51
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made and the
court considering the request has been advised of the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the published
opinions of the Tennessee Securities Division and any other state securities
regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered and sold
as to indemnification for securities law violations.
The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification
hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any
legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or
omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the
indemnified party for or on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is
initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is
initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of
competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the
indemnified party receiving such advances undertakes to repay the advanced
funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest
thereon, in cases in which such party is found not to be entitled to
indemnification.
The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of an indemnified party against any liability asserted which was
incurred in any such capacity with the Company or arising out of such status;
provided, however, that the Company shall not incur the costs of any liability
insurance which insures any person against liability for which he, she or it
could not be indemnified under the Articles or the Bylaws.
Neither the amendment nor the adoption of any other provision of the
Articles or the Bylaws shall apply to or affect in any respect the
applicability of indemnification with respect to any act or failure to act
which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. The parties
expressly agree that all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed
under the MGCL as now adopted or as may be hereafter amended and govern all
aspects of the Articles absent contrary terms contained in the Articles.
To the extent that the indemnification may apply to liabilities
arising under the Act, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore,
unenforceable.

There are certain defenses available to the Directors, officers and
the Advisor under Maryland law and pursuant to the Articles in the event of a
Stockholder action against them. One such defense is the "business judgment
rule." A Director, officer or the Advisor can, under the "business judgment
rule," argue that he or she performed the action giving rise to the
Stockholder's action in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an
ordinarily prudent person in a like position would have used under similar
circumstances. The Directors, officers and the Advisor are also entitled to
rely on information, opinions, reports or records prepared by experts
(including accountants, consultants, counsel, etc.) who were selected with
reasonable care. However, the Directors, officers and the Advisor shall not
invoke the "business judgment rule" to further limit the rights of the
Stockholders to access records. In the event a Stockholder challenges an
amendment to the Articles made by Directors without the Stockholders' approval,
the Directors are permitted to contend that the Articles permit amendments to
the Articles absent Stockholder vote in certain circumstances. As described
above, the Directors, officers and the Advisor are also indemnified by the
Company pursuant to the Articles, subject to certain limitations.

PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY'S AFFILIATES
PRIOR INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
The Inland organization, during the past ten years, has sponsored
seven public and 70 private real estate programs which have raised in excess in
$273,317,000. In excess of 19,500 investors have invested in these Inland-
sponsored programs. The investment objectives and policies of the Company are
similar to those of several investment programs which have owned and operated
retail properties. However, the vast majority of these investment programs
were dissimilar from the Company in that the partnerships owned apartment
properties or whole or partial interests in mortgage loans.
The information in this Section and in the Prior Performance Tables
included in this Prospectus as Exhibit A shows relevant summary information
concerning real estate programs sponsored by the Advisor and its Affiliates,
the purpose of which is to provide information on the prior performance of
these programs so that potential investors may evaluate the experience of the
Advisor and its Affiliates in sponsoring such programs. The following
discussion is intended to briefly summarize the objectives and performance of
prior programs and to disclose any material adverse business developments
sustained by them.
SUMMARY INFORMATION
The table below provides certain summarized information concerning
prior programs through the date of this Prospectus and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the foregoing introductory discussion and the detailed
information appearing in the Prior Performance Tables in this Prospectus.
Investors should not construe inclusion of the succeeding tables, which cover
the period from January 1, 1986 through December 31, 1995, as implying in any
manner that the Company will have results comparable to those reflected in the
tables; the yield and cash available and other factors could be substantially
different for the Company's properties. Investors should note that by
acquiring Shares in the Company, they will not be acquiring any interests in
any prior programs.

PUBLICLY REGISTERED LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P. ("MONTHLY INCOME FUND I") -- The
offering period for Monthly Income Fund I began August 3, 1987 and ended August
3, 1988. The objectives were to invest in improved residential, retail,
industrial and other income-producing properties on an all-cash basis to
provide monthly cash distributions of at least 8% per annum throughout the life
of the partnership and to provide a hedge against inflation through capital
appreciation.
Monthly Income Fund I raised $30,000,000 from over 2,200 investors.
Originally, Monthly Income Fund I purchased seven properties, including five in
Illinois, one in Ohio and one in Oklahoma, for a total investment of
$27,511,692 which includes acquisition costs of $25,831,542 plus an additional
$1,487,500 expended for the upgrade of the McHenry Plaza, a neighborhood retail
center, in McHenry, Illinois, plus $192,650 for upgrade costs at other
properties. The properties owned by Inland Monthly Income Fund I include, in
addition to McHenry Plaza, two nursing centers, two retail stores leased on a
triple-net basis by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a health club facility and an
apartment complex, which was sold on an installment basis in 1994 and 1995.
Through December 31, 1995, cash distributions have been maintained at an 8%
level and on an accrual basis have totaled $335.06 per $500 unit or $18,877,468
including $15,629,880 from operating cash flow, $305,000 of net sales proceeds
from the sale of the apartment complex, $2,095,863 from supplemental capital
contributions from IREIC and $541,725 as a partial return of capital from
partnership reserves. In the opinion of IREIC, the partnership is
substantially meeting its investment objective for cash flow.
Two of Monthly Income Fund I's properties, which represent 26.3% of
its total assets as measured by their original purchase price, are nursing
center facilities which are 100% leased by Elite Care Corporation ("Elite").
Monthly Income Fund I's lease with Elite became effective in February 1991,
following the termination of a lease with Adventist Living Centers Inc.
("ALC"), the tenant which was in place when Monthly Income Fund I purchased the
properties. After ALC began experiencing financial difficulties, IREIC sought
out Elite as a replacement nursing home operator/tenant. The net effect to
Monthly Income Fund I was a .5% decrease in the effective rent over the term of
the leases for the two nursing homes, from $67,270 per month when ALC was the
tenant to $66,936 from Elite. Under the terms of the lease agreements for the
nursing care facilities the partnership must approve any sublease transaction.
The current operator of these facilities has negotiated with a new operator to
sublease the facilities. IREIC has reviewed and approved the transaction with
no significant changes to the terms of the leases.

<PAGE> 55
The major tenant at McHenry Plaza is a Walgreens drug store. Other
tenants are Don Robert's Beauty School, Midwest Furniture and Family
Entertainment Center. These tenants took possession of their spaces at the
center from 1990 through 1993, following the July 1989 termination of a lease
with Duckwell-Alco Stores, Inc. ("Alco"), the tenant which leased 94% of the
space in the center at the time Monthly Income Fund I purchased the property.
IREIC embarked on a program to re-lease the center to new tenants, and secured
a $1,700,000 line of credit for property upgrades, remodeling and re-leasing
expenses. Annual principal and interest payments on this debt total $187,943.
Approximately 83% of the property is currently leased. An additional 4,000
square feet of storage area at the rear of the center, representing 7% of the
total space, remains to be leased. Additional expenditures for build-out and
leasing commissions are anticipated as the remaining rentable space is leased.
The 1995 annual net operating income prior to debt service at McHenry Plaza is
$234,000, compared to approximately $213,000 when Alco was the tenant. The
completion of the redevelopment and lease-up of McHenry Plaza will increase the
cash flow available for distribution by Monthly Income Fund I.
The partnership successfully completed the conversion of the apartment
complex to condominiums. Condominium sales began during the first quarter of
1994. As of December 31, 1995, all of the 38 six-unit buildings at the
property had been sold.
The defaults by ALC and Alco, the expense of upgrades and build-out at
the McHenry Plaza and lower than expected net rental income from the apartment
complex have reduced cash available for distribution by Monthly Income Fund I.
Under the terms of a guarantee agreement, IREIC has made supplementary capital
contributions totaling $2,095,863 from the inception of the program through
December 31, 1995 for the purpose of providing 8% annual cash distributions to
investors. These supplementary capital contributions will begin to be repaid
from cash flow in the future, but only if excess cash flow exists after payment
of an 8% annual distribution to investors. The effect on investors is that
cash flow distributions will not exceed 8% per annum for the foreseeable
future. In addition, IREIC may be reimbursed for its supplementary capital
contributions from the sale or financing of properties, but only after
investors have received the return of their capital. The effect on investors
is that profits from the sale of the properties will be reduced by the amounts
contributed by IREIC under the 8% distribution guarantee agreement.
INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND II, L.P. ("MONTHLY INCOME FUND II") -- The
offering period for Monthly Income Fund II began August 4, 1988 and ended
August 4, 1990. The objectives were to invest in improved residential, retail,
industrial and other income-producing properties on an all-cash basis to
provide monthly cash distributions of at least 8% per annum through the first
five years of the partnership and to provide a hedge against inflation through
capital appreciation.
Monthly Income Fund II raised $25,323,569 from more than 2,100
investors and purchased five properties, a net-leased Wholesale Club retail
property in Indiana, a net-leased health club in Ohio, a net-leased nursing
center in Illinois, a net-leased retail store in Arizona and the Water Tower
Market Plaza (formerly Eagle Plaza), a neighborhood retail center in Illinois,
for a total acquisition cost of $21,224,542. Through December 31, 1995, cash
distributions have been maintained at or above an 8% level and on an accrual
basis have totaled $349.65 per $500 unit or $16,279,471, including $11,883,906
from operations and an additional $4,395,565 which constitutes the net proceeds
from the sale of the Wholesale Club.
45
<PAGE> 56
One of Monthly Income Fund II's properties, which represents 35.44% of
its total assets, as measured by its original purchase price, is a nursing
center which is 100% leased to Elite. Monthly Income Fund II's lease with
Elite became effective in February 1991, following the termination of a lease
with ALC, the tenant which was in place when Monthly Income Fund II purchased
the property. After ALC began experiencing financial difficulties, IREIC
sought out Elite as a replacement nursing home operator/tenant. The net effect
to Monthly Income Fund II was an 8% decrease in the effective rent from the
nursing center over the term of the lease, from $77,368 per month when ALC was
the tenant to $71,895 from Elite. Under the terms of the lease agreement for
the nursing center the partnership must approve any sublease transaction. The
current operator of this facility has negotiated with a new operator to
sublease the facility. IREIC has reviewed and approved the transaction with no
significant changes to the terms of the lease.
On January 8, 1991, Monthly Income Fund II sold its Wholesale Club
property in Indiana for $4,400,000. Net sales proceeds of $4,395,565 were
distributed to investors on February 1, 1991. The property was purchased by
Monthly Income Fund II in December 1988 for $3,427,278, which included
acquisition fees of $275,013 and acquisition costs of $9,265. The gain on sale
for financial reporting purposes was $847,467, which is net of selling expenses
and commissions.
On January 21, 1994, the anchor tenant at Eagle Plaza neighborhood
retail center, Eagle Foods, closed its store. Under the terms of its lease,
Eagle Foods has guaranteed rent payments until May 1997. On February 4, 1994
and with the approval of IREIC, Eagle Foods assigned its lease to Certified
Grocers Midwest, Inc. ("Certified"). The shopping center was subsequently
renamed Water Tower Market Plaza. During August 1995, Certified vacated the
store. Under the original lease, as well as the assignment of the lease, Eagle
Foods has guaranteed payments until November 1998. Eagle Foods assigned its
lease to Euro-Fresh Markets which began occupancy in May 1996.
In the opinion of IREIC, the partnership is meeting its investment
objective to provide a minimum 8% cash distribution and has, through an early
and profitable sale of the Wholesale Club, achieved capital appreciation on 16%
of the partnership's investment in properties.
INLAND REAL ESTATE GROWTH FUND, L.P. ("GROWTH FUND I") -- The offering
period for Growth Fund I began December 9, 1985 and ended August 9, 1987. The
objectives were to invest in multi-family residential properties on a
moderately leveraged basis for capital appreciation through increases in
property values, tax-sheltered quarterly cash distributions and the build-up of
equity through reduction of mortgage indebtedness.
Growth Fund I raised $9,465,000 from more than 700 investors and
purchased four properties which included one multi-family residential property
in Arizona and a partial interest in another multi-family residential property
in Illinois. The other two properties were repurchased from Growth Fund I by
IREIC. The terms of these repurchase transactions placed Growth Fund I in the
same cash position it would have been in had the properties never been
acquired. Growth Fund I sold the multi-family residential property located in
Illinois as condominium units to individual purchasers for $6,685,950. Of the
total net sales proceeds of $6,455,375, $1,650,000 was used to pay off the
underlying debt on the property, $1,715,198 was distributed to limited partners
during 1994, $1,832,785 was used to pay down the debt on the partnership's
Arizona property and the remainder was used to fund condominium conversion
costs. The property was purchased by Growth Fund I in December 1985 for
$3,836,416, which included acquisition fees of $483,500. The gain on sale for
financial reporting purposes was $2,236,220, which is net of selling expenses
and commissions. Cash distributions to limited partners
46
<PAGE> 57
through December 31, 1995 totaled $509.66 per $1,000 unit or $4,516,868,
including $1,281,155 from operations, $1,724,843 from the sale or refinancing
of the partnership's properties, $943,224 from the repurchase of partnership
properties by IREIC and $567,646 partial return of capital from partnership
reserves. The monthly principal and interest payments on the Arizona property
were reduced from $27,819 to $12,314 as a result of refinancing the Arizona
property in March 1994 and the debt reduction described above.
In IREIC's opinion, the Arizona real estate market has been improving
over the last two years, and a sale of the Arizona property will be evaluated
on an ongoing basis with the intent to profitably conclude the partnership.
The decline in the Arizona market from 1989 through 1992 reduced net operating
income from that property and, therefore, the quarterly cash distributions
which might otherwise have been received by limited partners during that
period. Similarly, the decline of the Arizona market has extended the holding
period for that property. If and when the Arizona property can be sold at a
profit, the annual rate of capital appreciation realized by investors will be
less than if the Arizona market had not declined.
INLAND REAL ESTATE GROWTH FUND II, L.P. ("GROWTH FUND II") -- The
offering period for Growth Fund II began September 21, 1987 and ended September
21, 1989. The objectives were to invest in improved residential, retail,
industrial and other income-producing properties on a moderately leveraged
basis for capital appreciation through increases in property values,
tax-sheltered quarterly cash distributions and the build-up of equity through
reduction of mortgage indebtedness.
Growth Fund II raised $4,038,250 from 336 investors and purchased two
properties, a multi-family residential property in Illinois and a health club
in Ohio. These properties were purchased for a total acquisition cost of
$5,615,826. The health club is currently approximately 62% financed with 38%
equity. Cash distributions to limited partners through December 31, 1995
totaled $1,135.44 per $1,000 unit or $4,509,182, including $862,410 from
operations and $3,646,772 return of capital from the sale of the multi-family
property in Illinois as 18 individual six-unit apartment buildings. All 18 of
the six-unit buildings were sold to third-party buyers on an installment basis
for $245,334 to $250,000 per building or a total of $4,261,895 (net of selling
expenses). Growth Fund II's cost basis in the buildings was $4,112,195. The
partnership extended financing to buyers to allow buyers to make monthly
interest payments to Growth Fund II for a period of not more than seven to ten
years, at which time the balance of the purchase price would be due. However,
as of December 31, 1995, 13 of the installment sale loans had been prepaid in
full and five had been substantially pre-paid (the partnership continues to be
owed $80,000 on these loans, secured by second mortgages). In the opinion of
IREIC, the sale of the multi-family property as individual six-unit apartment
buildings has resulted in modest capital appreciation within a short holding
period. IREIC is evaluating strategies to sell the partnership's remaining
assets and bring the partnership to a profitable conclusion.
INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P. ("LAND FUND I") -- The offering
period for Land Fund I began October 12, 1988 and ended October 6, 1989. The
objectives were to invest in pre-development land on an all-cash basis and
realize appreciation of such land upon resale.
Land Fund I raised $30,001,000 from 3,425 investors and purchased 25
land parcels, all in suburban counties surrounding Chicago, Illinois, for an
aggregate purchase price of $25,187,069. As of December 31, 1995, Land Fund I
has completed 51 sales transactions, involving all or portions of 11 parcels,
including three sales of rights-of-way to the Illinois Department of
Transportation plus a land option, which generated $4,774,251 in net sales
proceeds. Land Fund I's cost basis in the land parcels sold was $2,654,277
resulting in a gain, net of selling expenses and commissions, of $2,119,974 for
47
<PAGE> 58
financial reporting purposes. In the opinion of IREIC, the partnership is
currently meeting its investment objectives and has, through completed sales
transactions, realized significant capital appreciation on the assets sold.
Cash distributions to limited partners through December 31, 1995 totaled
$4,146,395, all from the sale of land parcels.
INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P. ("LAND FUND II") -- The
offering period for Land Fund II began October 25, 1989 and ended October 24,
1991. The objectives were to invest in pre-development land on an all-cash
basis and realize appreciation of such land upon resale.
Land Fund II raised $50,476,170 from 5,055 investors and purchased 27
land parcels and two buildings, all in suburban counties surrounding Chicago,
Illinois, for an aggregate purchase price of $41,314,301. As of December 31,
1995, Land Fund II has had multiple sales transactions involving all or
portions of seven parcels which generated $9,113,875 in net sales proceeds.
Land Fund II's cost basis in the land parcels sold was $5,552,092 resulting in
a gain, net of selling expenses and commissions, of $3,561,783 for financial
reporting purposes. In the opinion of IREIC, the partnership is currently
meeting its investment objectives and has, through completed sales
transactions, realized significant capital appreciation on the assets sold.
Cash distributions to limited partners through December 31, 1995 totaled
$2,836,752, including $2,115,752 from sales and $721,000 from operations.
INLAND CAPITAL FUND, L.P. ("LAND FUND III") -- The offering period for
Land Fund III began December 13, 1991 and ended August 23, 1993. The
objectives were to invest in pre-development land on an all-cash basis and
realize appreciation of such land upon resale.
Land Fund III raised $32,399,282 from 2,683 investors and purchased 18
land parcels, one of which included a house and several outbuildings, for an
aggregate purchase price of $25,945,990. Land Fund III has completed two sales
transactions, involving the house and portions of two parcels which generated
$646,334 in net sales proceeds. Land Fund III's cost basis in the land parcels
sold was $417,551 resulting in a gain, net of selling expenses and commissions,
of $228,783 for financial reporting purposes. In the opinion of IREIC, the
partnership is currently meeting its investment objectives and has, through
completed sales transactions, realized significant capital appreciation on the
assets sold. Cash distributions to limited partners through December 31, 1995
totaled $646,334, all from the sale of land parcels.
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
Since inception, Affiliates of the Advisor have sponsored 514 private
placement limited partnerships which have raised more than $524,201,000 from
approximately 17,000 investors and invested in properties for an aggregate
price of more than $1 billion in cash and notes. Of the 522 properties
purchased, 93% have been in Illinois. Approximately 90% of the funds were
invested in apartment buildings, 6% in shopping centers, 2% in office buildings
and 2% in other properties. Including sales to Affiliates, 275 partnerships
have sold their original property investments. Officers and employees of IREIC
and its Affiliates invested more than $17,000,000 in these partnerships.
From 1990 and through the end of 1995, investors in Inland's private
partnerships have received total distributions in excess of $82,473,427
consisting of cash flow from partnership operations, sales and refinancing
proceeds and cash received during the course of property exchanges. Following
a proposal by Inland Real Estate Corporation, the former corporate general
partner, investors in 301 private partnerships voted in 1990 to make IREIC the
corporate general partner for those partnerships.
48
<PAGE> 59
Beginning in December 1993 and continuing into the first quarter of
1994, investors in 101 private limited partnerships for which IREIC is the
general partner received letters from IREIC informing them of the possible
opportunity to sell the 66 apartment properties owned by those partnerships to
a to-be-formed REIT (the "Apartment REIT") in which Affiliates of IREIC would
receive stock and cash and the limited partners would receive cash. In
connection therewith, the underwriters for the Apartment REIT subsequently
advised IREIC to sell to a third party its management and general partner's
interests in those remaining limited partnerships not selling their apartment
properties to the Apartment REIT (approximately 30% of the Inland-sponsored
limited partnerships owning apartment buildings). The prospective third-party
buyers of IREIC's interests in the remaining partnerships, however, would make
no assurance to support those partnerships financially. As a result, in a
letter from IREIC dated March 30, 1994, investors were informed of IREIC's
decision not to go forward with the formation of the Apartment REIT. Following
this decision, two investors filed a complaint on April 19, 1994 in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Chancery Division, purportedly on behalf of a class of
other unnamed investors, alleging that IREIC had breached its fiduciary
responsibility to those investors whose partnerships would have sold apartment
properties to the Apartment REIT. The complaint sought an accounting of
information regarding the Apartment REIT matter, an unspecified amount of
damages and the removal of IREIC as general partner of the partnerships that
would have participated in the sale of properties to the Apartment REIT. On
August 1, 1994, Judge Thomas O'Brien granted IREIC's motion to dismiss, finding
that plaintiffs lacked standing to bring this case individually. Plaintiffs
were granted leave to file an amended complaint within 28 days. On August 29,
1994, six investors filed an amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of a
class of other investors, and derivatively on behalf of six limited
partnerships of which IREIC is the general partner. The derivative counts seek
damages from IREIC for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract,
and assert a right to an accounting. IREIC filed a motion to dismiss in
response to the amended complaint. The suit was dismissed on March 31, 1995
with prejudice, and the plaintiffs were given until May 1, 1996 to file an
appeal. An appeal was filed on April 25, 1996 and the parties briefed the
issue. It is not expected that oral arguments will be made until Fall 1996.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT REAL ESTATE EQUITY PROGRAM
WISCONSIN CAPITAL LAND FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership,
was formed in October 1992. The objectives were to invest in pre-development
land in the Madison, Wisconsin area on an all-cash basis and realize
appreciation of such land upon resale. The offering period for units in this
privately offered partnership began October 1992 and ended June 14, 1993 with
the maximum amount, $2,275,000, raised. Seven parcels of land in the Madison,
Wisconsin, area were purchased with the proceeds of the offering. Limited
partners will receive cash distributions as land parcels are sold.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT MORTGAGE AND NOTE PROGRAMS
During 1992 and in 1993, IREIC or its Affiliates sponsored nine
private placement securities offerings, including seven mortgage and note
programs, which are described below.
TRIPLE SECURITY FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, was
formed in May 1992. The principal investment objectives of the partnership
were to invest in participations in third-party mortgage loans owned by an
Affiliate of IREIC and thereby return investors' capital within five years, and
to provide a 10% annual return on invested capital during the life of the
partnership. The return of capital and the 10% annual return were guaranteed
by IREIC. The offering period for interests in this privately offered
partnership began in May 1992 and ended in June 1992 with the maximum amount of
$3,000,000 raised. All of the offering proceeds were used to invest in
participations in 14 wraparound mortgage loans
49
<PAGE> 60
and first mortgage loans, secured by condominium, multi-family residential and
commercial properties located in the Chicago metropolitan area. Limited
partners received their first monthly cash distribution on July 17, 1992. Cash
distributions to limited partners through December 31, 1995 totaled $1,044,218,
including $986,185 from operations and $58,033 from a loan from IREIC, pursuant
to the guarantee for that program.
10% INCOME FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership offering
investments in promissory notes, was formed in May 1992. The offering period
for the purchase of notes began in May 1992 and ended June 1992 with the
maximum amount of $2,000,000 raised. Notes with a term of five years and
providing a 10% annual return for the first four years and 10.5% in the fifth
year were issued by the partnership. The return of capital to noteholders and
the specified annual returns are guaranteed by IREIC. 10% Income Fund, L.P.
invested in loans made to an Affiliate of IREIC, which were secured by
collateral assignments of third-party mortgage loans owned by the Affiliate.
Noteholders received their first monthly interest distribution on July 17,
1992. Cash distributions to noteholders through December 31, 1995 totaled
$681,223 including $663,939 from interest earnings and $17,284 from working
capital reserves.
9% INCOME JUNIOR MORTGAGE FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership,
was formed in July 1992. The principal investment objectives of the
partnership were to invest in third-party junior mortgage loans owned by an
Affiliate of the Advisor and thereby return investors' capital within six
years, and to provide a 9% annual return on invested capital during the life of
the partnership. The return of capital and the 9% annual return were
guaranteed by IREIC. The offering period for interests in this privately
offered partnership began in July 1992 and ended September 1992 with the
maximum amount of $1,000,000 raised. All of the offering proceeds were used to
invest in third-party junior mortgage loans owned by the Affiliate, secured by
condominium, multi-family residential and commercial properties located in the
Chicago metropolitan area. Limited partners received their first monthly cash
distribution on September 17, 1992. Cash distributions through December 31,
1995 totaled $357,116, of which $276,364 was interest earnings, $73,463 was a
return of capital resulting from the amortization of mortgage loans and $7,339
was a loan from IREIC, pursuant to the distribution guarantee for that program.
INLAND EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited
partnership offering investments in promissory notes, was formed in December
1992. The offering period for the purchase of Notes began in December 1992 and
ended in February 1993 with the maximum amount of $400,000 raised. Notes were
offered only to Illinois residents who are employees of IREIC and its
Affiliates. Notes with a term of four years and providing 10% annual interest
were issued by the partnership. The return of capital to noteholders and the
specified annual return are guaranteed by IREIC. Inland Employee Appreciation
Fund, L.P. invested in a loan made to an Affiliate of IREIC, which was secured
by collateral assignments of third-party investor loans owned by the Affiliate.
Noteholders received their first monthly interest distribution on March 17,
1993. Cash distributions through December 31, 1995 totalled $342,060, of which
$339,631 was interest earnings and $2,429 was subsidy income from IREIC,
pursuant to the guarantee for that program. On May 31, 1996, the promissory
notes were paid in full. This partnership will be liquidated in 1996.
In February 1993, IREIC sponsored 9% MONTHLY CASH FUND, L.P., an
Illinois limited partnership offering investments in promissory notes to
accredited investors. The offering period for this program began February 1,
1993 and ended on May 17, 1993 when the maximum amount of $4,000,000 raised.
Notes maturing August 1, 1999 and providing a 9% annual return were issued by
the partnership. 9% Monthly Cash Fund, L.P. invested in loans made to an
Affiliate of IREIC secured by collateral assignments of third party mortgage
loans owned by the Affiliate. The return of capital to noteholders
50
<PAGE> 61
and the 9% annual return are guaranteed by IREIC. Cash distributions through
December 31, 1995 totaled $929,094, of which $924,784 was interest earnings and
$4,310 from working capital reserves.
In April 1993, IREIC sponsored 9% MONTHLY CASH FUND II, L.P., an
Illinois limited partnership offering investments in promissory notes to
accredited investors, with investment objectives identical to those of 9%
Monthly Cash Fund, L.P. The offering period for this program began April 5,
1993 and ended July 23, 1993, with the maximum amount of $4,000,000 raised.
Notes maturing February 1, 2000 and providing a 9% annual return were issued by
the partnership. 9% Monthly Cash Fund II, L.P. has invested in a loan made to
an Affiliate of IREIC, secured by collateral assignments of third-party
mortgage loans owned by the Affiliate. The return of capital to noteholders
and the 9% annual return are guaranteed by IREIC. Cash distributions through
December 31, 1995 totaled $867,945, of which $864,752 was interest earnings and
$3,193 from working capital reserves.
In July 1993, Inland Mortgage Corporation, an Illinois corporation and
an Affiliate of IREIC ("IMC"), sponsored IMC NOTE ISSUE #2 1993, offering
investments in promissory notes. The offering period for this program began
August 25, 1993 and closed on June 13, 1994 after raising $6,800,000. Notes
maturing December 31, 2003 with 8% per annum interest and 100% return of
principal guaranteed by IREIC were issued by IMC. Proceeds of the offering
have been used to invest in a mortgage loan secured by an apartment property in
Manchester, New Hampshire, owned by an Affiliate of IREIC. Investors may also
receive additional interest, dependent on the future sale of the property. An
initial distribution to investors of escrow interest, totaling $13,685, was
made November 17, 1993. Cash distributions through December 31, 1995 totaled
$1,068,666 of which $671,865 was interest earnings and $19,456 was subsidy
income from IREIC pursuant to the guarantee for that program.
In December 1993, IREIC sponsored INLAND CONDOMINIUM FINANCING FUND,
L.P., an Illinois limited partnership offering investment in promissory notes.
The offering period for this program began December 15, 1993 and closed on June
30, 1994. This partnership offered notes in a maximum principal amount of
$2,000,000 maturing July 1, 2001 with 10% per annum interest and 100% return of
principal guaranteed by IREIC. The proceeds of the offering have been used to
make unsecured loans to limited partnerships which are Affiliates of IREIC, for
the purposes of paying expenses relating to the conversion of apartment
properties owned by those partnerships to condominiums, and conducting
condominium unit sales and other partnership expenses. Cash distributions
began on March 17, 1994. Distributions through March 31, 1995 totaled $177,893
all of which were interest earnings.
An August 1988 private placement securities offering sponsored by an
Affiliate of IREIC was INLAND JUNIOR MORTGAGE FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited
partnership. The offering period for this program ended May 1989 with $410,000
raised. All of the proceeds available for investment were used to purchase 82
second mortgages owned by Inland Mortgage Investment Corporation ("IMIC"),
secured predominantly by condominium units located in the Chicago metropolitan
area. Cash distributions through December 31, 1995 have totaled $404,175,
including $124,794 from interest earnings and $279,381 return of capital from
loan repayments. In February 1996, 20 limited partners exercised their put
option and IMIC bought their interests. As a result, IMIC currently owns 88%
of the limited partner units.

LOAN MODIFICATIONS AND WORK-OUTS
Between 1990 and December 31, 1995, 38 Inland-sponsored partnerships
owning 25 properties ceased making debt service payments to unaffiliated
lenders which held the underlying financing on the properties. These actions
were taken with the objective of reducing or restructuring the debt to levels
commensurate with the levels of performance of the operating properties. In
the case of six of these partnerships, namely 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership,
1445 North State Parkway Limited Partnership, 5600 Sheridan Limited
Partnership, 5630 Sheridan Limited Partnership, 6030 Sheridan Limited
Partnership and Oak Brook Commons Limited Partnership, the original asset of
each of these partnerships was transferred to a new partnership which was 100%
owned by the old partnership. IREIC believed that the new partnerships were
better positioned to accomplish a work-out with the lender. In connection with
the transfers of three of these properties to the new partnerships discussed
above, the lender holding the first mortgages on these properties filed a
separate proceeding against the general partner and its Affiliates, claiming
contractual interference and other allegations. This complaint was withdrawn
as part of a final settlement reached with the lender in February 1993.
Each of these new partnerships filed for financial reorganization in
federal court. In addition, 1036 N. Dearborn Limited Partnership also filed
for financial reorganization in federal court. All of these filings for
reorganization were an extension of negotiations with the lenders, with the
objective of reducing or restructuring the debt on the properties owned by the
partnerships. In the case of the filing for reorganization by each of the new
partnerships owned by 1445 North State Parkway Limited Partnership, 5600
Sheridan Limited Partnership and 5630 Sheridan Limited Partnership, the
reorganization proceedings were dismissed after each lender approved a
tax-deferred exchange transaction between the new partnership and an
unaffiliated third party. The general partner of the 1036 North Dearborn
Limited Partnership was able to purchase the debt encumbering that property at
a discount from the lender and the filing for reorganization of that
partnership was dismissed. The 1036 North Dearborn property was subsequently
refinanced with a third-party lender and then sold to a third party. The new
partnerships owned by the 14 W. Elm, 6030 Sheridan and Oak Brook Commons
Limited Partnerships participated with the general partner and its affiliates
and with 16 other affiliated limited partnerships, all of whose properties were
subject to first-mortgage loans from the same third-party lender, in a
settlement agreement with that lender. Under the terms of the settlement
agreement, the 16 other affiliated limited partnerships--none of which were in
default on their mortgage loans--provided additional security to the lender
with respect to each of their loans by transferring administration of property
tax escrow accounts to the lender. The transfer of the escrow accounts had no
financial impact on the 16 partnerships. Five of the 16 other partnerships
also obtained favorable loan modifications from the lender. In the case of the
new partnership owned by the 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership, the lender
cooperated in a tax-deferred exchange of the partnership's real estate asset.
The partnership assigned its interest in its property, subject to the existing
indebtedness, to an unaffiliated third party in exchange for an assignment of
the unaffiliated third party's interest in another property, subject to
indebtedness in a principal amount similar to that on the 14 W. Elm property.
This transaction was accomplished with the objective of avoiding the creation
of any current income tax liability to the partnership or its limited partners.
As a result of this tax-deferred exchange, the 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership
owns a net-lease commercial property secured by a long- term lease with a
creditworthy tenant. The debt service on the indebtedness used to acquire the
exchange property is in the form of fully amortizing payments over the term of
the store lease, with the net-lease payments received from the tenant equal to
the required debt service payments. The possibility of cash flow distributions
to the limited partners is, therefore, precluded. However, the expectation
exists for equity accumulation through the amortization of the loan and,
therefore, a distribution to the limited partners upon the disposition of the
exchange property. IREIC believes that the limited partners of the 14 W. Elm
52
<PAGE> 63
In the case of the Park Colony Limited Partnership, one of the 38
limited partnerships mentioned in the first paragraph of this section, the
partnership defaulted on a loan secured by a second mortgage against the Park
Colony property. The lender which owned the second-mortgage loan purchased the
position of the lender which had funded the first mortgage loan secured by the
property. The lender then sold the debt, at a substantial discount, to an
Affiliate of the general partner of Park Colony Limited Partnership, and all
legal actions associated with the loan default were dismissed. The partnership
then refinanced the debt at the lower principal amount, retiring the debt owned
by the Affiliate. In December 1993, a new general partner replaced IREIC.
IREIC believes that this debt reduction is of significant benefit to the
partnership, which is now better positioned to realize its investment
objectives.
In 1990, the New England Limited Partnership, acting as nominee for 14
Florida limited partnerships which own the Sunset Ridge Apartments in
Manchester, New Hampshire, ceased making payments on the bond financing for
that property, which bonds were issued by the New Hampshire Housing Finance
Authority. In August 1993, an Affiliate of the general partner for those
partnerships purchased the bonds and the interests of two savings and loan
associations which had acted as bond credit-enhancers, at a substantial
discount. The partnerships which own the property are obtaining refinancing
funds to pay off the bonds and the amounts due to the Affiliate under the
credit-enhancement instruments for approximately the discounted price paid by
the Affiliate.
In April 1993, the West Haven Limited Partnership ceased making
payments on the first mortgage loan for that partnership's property. The
general partner attempted to negotiate with the lender to modify the terms of
the loan to a level commensurate with the operating performance of the West
Haven property, but no agreement was reached. A tax- deferred exchange was
accomplished and the partnership acquired an interest in a net-lease commercial
property. The West Haven property will be acquired by the lender whose loan
was secured by a first mortgage against the property.
In the case of the other partnerships referred to in the first
paragraph of this section, subsequent to the acquisition of net-leased
commercial properties via tax-deferred exchanges, the Townsgate, Riverdale,
Northwoods and Bridgeview properties were acquired by the first-mortgage
lenders whose loans were secured by the properties. The Covington Associates
and Westbrooke Limited Partnerships' tax-deferred exchange property, Townsgate
II, was acquired by the first mortgage lender and the two partnerships acquired
net-lease commercial properties via second tax-deferred exchanges. In the case
of the Bensenville Industrial Limited Partnership, subsequent to the
acquisition of a replacement net-lease commercial property, the Bensenville
property was acquired by the first-mortgage lender whose loan was secured by
the property.
In addition to the above-described developments, the corporate general
partner of the Walton Place Limited Partnership and the Barrington Lakes
Limited Partnership settled litigation with the lenders for the properties
which resulted in the transfer of the properties and an agreement to make cash
settlements by the partnerships to the lenders. In each case, the litigation
resulted after the partnership ceased making debt service payments in an effort
to bring about a renegotiation of the terms of the financing. The lenders
agreed to permit a tax-deferred exchange of the partnerships' respective
properties.
In January 1995, the Timberlake Limited Partnership ceased making
payments on the first mortgage loan for that partnership's property. IREIC is
attempting to negotiate with the lender to modify the terms of the loan to a
level commensurate with the operating performance of the Timberlake property,
but to date, no agreement has been reached. It is IREIC's intent to initiate a
tax-deferred exchange
54
<PAGE> 64
Limited Partnership are in a better position to realize a return of their
capital investment through the ultimate disposition of the exchange property.
In the case of the new partnership owned by the Oak Brook Commons Limited
Partnership, the lender acquired the property through foreclosure and the
general partner has supplied the Oak Brook Commons Limited Partnership with a
new property, an ownership interest in a retail store in Marshall, Minnesota,
leased on a triple-net basis by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. In the case of the new
partnership owned by the 6030 Sheridan Limited Partnership, the lender agreed
to permit a tax-deferred exchange of the partnership's property, similar to
that completed by the 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership and subsequently the lender
sold its mortgage to an unaffiliated party who then acquired the property. The
new partnership acquired a replacement property similar to that acquired by the
14 W. Elm Limited Partnership, which property was then conveyed to the 6030
Sheridan Limited Partnership.
Of the original partnerships discussed above, Mr. Daniel L. Goodwin, a
Director of IREIC, served as individual general partner of all but the Oak
Brook Commons Limited Partnership, in which Mr. G. Joseph Cosenza, a Director
of IREIC and the Company, served as individual general partner. Prior to the
filing for reorganization, and as part of the strategy thereof, Mr. Cosenza
relinquished his position as individual general partner of the Oak Brook
Commons Limited Partnership and Mr. Goodwin did the same for all except the
1036 N. Dearborn Limited Partnership, for which he continues to serve as
individual general partner. These actions were taken upon the advice of
counsel to reduce the chances of delay in the reorganization efforts. The
corporate general partner of each partnership has elected to continue the
business of each of the partnerships in which the individual general partner
relinquished his position.
Four of the 38 Inland-sponsored partnerships described in the first
paragraph of this section owned four adjacent office buildings in Park Ridge,
Illinois. These four operating partnerships were, in turn, owned by 21 other
Inland-sponsored partnerships which had sold their original real estate assets
and reinvested a portion of the proceeds from those sales in ownership units in
the four operating partnerships. During 1991, the lenders which held the first
mortgages encumbering the four office buildings acquired the deeds to the
properties in lieu of foreclosure. The four operating partnerships were
subsequently liquidated. The general partner of the 21 partnerships which had
owned the four operating partnerships arranged for the transfer to each of the
21 partnerships of certain ownership interests in five net-lease commercial
properties having long-term leases with creditworthy tenants. The debt service
on the indebtedness used to acquire the commercial properties consists of
principal and interest payments which fully amortize the indebtedness over the
term of the store leases, with the net-lease payments received from the tenants
equal to the required debt service payments. The possibility of cash flow
distributions to the limited partners in the 21 partnerships is, therefore,
precluded. However, the expectation exists for equity accumulation through the
amortization of the loan and, therefore, a future distribution to the limited
partners upon the disposition of the commercial properties. The 21
partnerships experienced minimal adverse tax consequences from the liquidation
of the four operating partnerships and their receipt of the ownership interests
in the commercial properties. IREIC believes that the limited partners of the
21 partnerships are now positioned to realize a return of their capital
investment through the ultimate disposition of the commercial properties.
In the case of the 900 DeWitt and the Hoffman Ridge Limited
Partnerships, two of the 38 limited partnerships mentioned in the first
paragraph of this section, tax-deferred exchanges of the partnerships'
properties were accomplished, in the same manner as described above. The
partnerships acquired net-lease commercial properties. Subsequent to the
exchanges, the 900 DeWitt and Hoffman Ridge properties were acquired by the
first-mortgage lenders whose loans were secured by those properties.

whereby the partnership will acquire an interest in a net-lease commercial
property prior to the Timberlake property being acquired by the lender whose
loan is secured by a first mortgage against the property.
EFFECTS OF PROPERTY EXCHANGES ON INVESTORS
The Inland organization has used a strategy of tax-deferred property
exchanges to mitigate the adverse effects of 1986 tax law changes and the
weakening of apartment markets in the late 1980s on Inland's tax-shelter
private partnerships and investors in those partnerships. The loss of
deficit-producing properties to foreclosure would otherwise have resulted in
the loss of investors' capital, as well as substantial income tax liability for
those investors. Through the exchange program, deficit-producing apartment
properties have been disposed of, net-leased retail properties have been
acquired, and most tax liability continues to be deferred. Gradually, through
the amortization of debt secured by the new, net-leased properties owned by
these partnerships, the partnerships and their investors are rebuilding equity
which may be realized upon the future sale or refinancing of these properties.
One of the primary investment objectives of these tax-shelter partnerships--the
deferral of tax liability, continues to be met to a significant degree.
However, no cash flow is being received by the investors in these partnerships.
In addition, the tax-deferred exchanges have extended the expected term of
these tax-shelter partnerships. If and when the net- leased properties are
sold or refinanced, there is no assurance that investors will realize any
profit or a complete return of capital. Because the duration of these
partnerships has been extended, when the net-leased properties are sold or
refinanced, the annual rate of appreciation realized by investors, if any, will
be less than if the tax law had not been changed and apartment markets had not
declined in the late 1980s.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Through December 31, 1995, 18 private partnerships sponsored by
Affiliates of the Advisor which sold properties on an installment basis
re-acquired their properties as a result of defaults by the purchasers.
Thirteen of the properties that were re-acquired were subsequently sold. One
property was returned to the lender and the remaining properties are being
operated by the partnerships.
Through December 31, 1995, seven private partnerships sponsored by
Affiliates of the Advisor have agreed to modifications of the original terms of
the installment receivables. The impact of these modifications on the
installment receivables includes reductions in net interest income during the
first year or two following a modification (and corresponding decreases in
distributions to limited partners during that period) and increases in interest
income thereafter (and corresponding increases in distributions), as well as
the deferral of some interest until maturity and, in the case of two
partnerships, the extension of a maturity date. The decreases in distributions
to limited partners range from 25% to 50% of the originally scheduled
distributions for the initial one- or two-year period of the modifications
followed by similar increases over the originally scheduled distributions for
the year or two following the modifications. Any interest deferred until
maturity would result in a lower-than-originally-scheduled distribution until
the maturity date, when such deferred amounts would be received from the
borrowers. The distribution to investors of the principal proceeds due upon
maturity would also be received at a later date, i.e., one to two years later,
due to a negotiated extension of the original maturity date.
During 1988, one private partnership sponsored by an Affiliate of
IREIC transferred its property to the municipality in which it was located
pursuant to an involuntary conversion proceeding. On March 1, 1989, the
proceeds of the conversion were reinvested in a new property, a transaction
intended to qualify as tax-deferred under the Code.

<PAGE> 66
Except for re-acquisitions of previously owned properties upon default
by the purchaser, the transfer of a defaulted loan, the tax-deferred property
exchanges and the disputes with lenders described herein, there have been no
further major adverse business developments or conditions experienced by these
prior partnerships which would be material to investors in the Company.
Upon written request to the Company, any potential investor may
obtain, without charge, the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Commission by any public program sponsored by Affiliates which has reported
to the Commission within the last 24 months. Copies of any exhibits to such
Annual Reports shall be provided, upon request, for a reasonable fee.
MANAGEMENT
GENERAL
The Company operates under the direction of the Board of Directors
that is responsible for the overall management and control of the affairs of
the Company. However, the Board of Directors has retained the Advisor to
manage the Company's day-to-day affairs, subject to the Board's supervision.
Investment policies of the Company, as well as fees and expenses of
the Company, have been established by the Directors and will be reviewed and
approved by the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
not less often than annually and with sufficient frequency to determine that
the policies being followed are in the best interest of the Stockholders. All
Directors are responsible, as a result of their fiduciary duties, for
determining the reasonableness of the total fees and expenses of the Company in
light of the investment experience of the Company and the fees and expenses of
comparable advisor companies in supervising the relationship of the Company
with the Advisor and its Affiliates. Each such determination and the basis
therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the Directors.
The Independent Directors shall determine from time to time, but not
less often than annually, that the compensation which the Company contracts to
pay to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the
services performed and that such compensation is within the limits prescribed
by applicable state regulatory authorities. The Independent Directors shall
also supervise the performance of the Advisor and the compensation paid to it
by the Company to determine that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are
being carried out. Each such determination shall be based on the factors set
forth below and all other factors that the Independent Directors may deem
relevant and the findings of the Independent Directors on each such factor
shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board. Such factors include: (i) the
size of the Advisory Fee in relation to the size, composition and
profitability of the portfolio of the Company; (ii) the success of the Advisor
in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company;
(iii) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by
advisors performing similar services; (iv) additional revenues realized by the
Advisor and any Affiliate through their relationship with the Company,
including loan administration, underwriting or brokerage commissions,
servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the Company
or by others with whom the Company does business; (v) the quality and extent of
service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (vi) the performance of the
investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or
appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in
dealing with distress situations; and (vii) the quality of the portfolio of the
Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own
account. See "Fiduciary Responsibility of Directors and the Advisors;
Indemnification" and "--The Advisory Agreement" in this Section.

</TABLE>
NORBERT J. TREONIS (age 45) has been a director of the Advisor since
its formation in 1994. Mr. Treonis joined TIGI and its Affiliates in 1975 and
he is currently Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inland Property
Management Group, Inc., Chairman of the Board of Directors of Inland Commercial
Property Management, Inc. and a Director of TIGI. He serves on the Board of
Directors of all Inland subsidiaries involved in the property management,
acquisitions and maintenance of real estate, including Mid-America Management
Corp. and American Building Services, Inc. Mr. Treonis is charged with the
responsibility of the overall management and leasing of all apartment units,
retail, industrial and commercial properties nationwide. Mr. Treonis is a
licensed real estate broker. He is a past member of the Board of Directors of
American National Bank of DuPage, the Apartment Builders and Managers
Association of Illinois, the National Apartment Association and the Chicago
Apartment Association.
The Advisor is a member of a group of affiliated corporations, The
Inland Group, Inc. ("TIGI"), which is engaged in businesses related to many
aspects of real estate and mortgage financing. The relevant skills and
experience of each of these companies, developed over the course of 30 years in
business, primarily in the Chicago metropolitan area, is available to the
Company in the conduct of its business.
60
<PAGE> 71
The first of the TIGI-affiliated businesses was started by a group of
Chicago school teachers in 1967, and incorporated the following year. The
founders of TIGI all remain actively involved in overseeing these companies.
The businesses of these TIGI-affiliated companies are still centered in the
Chicago metropolitan area, since the founders of TIGI believe that sound real
estate operations require detailed knowledge of local conditions. Over the
past 30 years, TIGI-affiliated companies have experienced significant growth.
TIGI-affiliated companies, in the aggregate, in April 1996 were ranked by
Crain's Chicago Business as the 32nd largest privately held business group
headquartered in the Chicago area. Limited partnerships for which IREIC is the
general partner own in excess of 9,800 acres of pre- development land in the
Chicago area, as well as 10,500,000 square feet of commercial property in
Chicago and nationwide.
As TIGI-affiliated companies bought and sold properties over the
years, necessary expertise in real estate financing was developed. This
function was formally recognized in 1977, with the incorporation of IMC. IMC,
during its history, has originated more than $1 billion in financing, including
loans to third parties and affiliated entities.
Further delineation of functions and duties associated with financing
occurred in 1990, with the separate incorporation of Inland Mortgage Investment
Corporation ("IMIC") and Inland Mortgage Servicing Corporation ("IMSC"). IMIC,
as of March 1, 1996, owned a $57,000,000 loan portfolio, and IMSC serviced a
loan portfolio of 455 loans exceeding $460,000,000.
THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally has
responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company, administers the
Company's bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as the Company's
consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by the Directors,
manages or causes to be managed the Company's properties and renders other
services as the Directors deem appropriate. The Advisor is subject to the
supervision of the Directors and has only such functions as are delegated to
it.
The Advisor bears the expenses incurred by it in connection with
performance of its duties under the Advisory Agreement, including employment
expenses of its personnel, certain travel and other expenses of the directors,
officers and employees of the Advisor, rent, telephone, and equipment expenses
to the extent such expenses relate to the office maintained by both the Company
and the Advisor and miscellaneous administrative expenses incurred in
supervising, monitoring and inspecting real property or other investments of
the Company or relating to its performance under the Advisory Agreement. The
Advisor receives reimbursement for certain expenses it incurs. The Company
bears its own expenses for functions not required to be performed by the
Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, which generally include capital raising
and financing activities, corporate governance matters and other activities not
directly related to the Company's properties.
The Advisory Agreement, which was entered into by the Company, with
the unanimous approval of the Directors, including the Independent Directors,
is for a one-year term subject to successive one-year renewals upon the mutual
consent of the parties. It may be terminated by either party, or by mutual
consent of the parties or by a majority of the Independent Directors of the
Company or the Advisor, as the case may be, upon 60 days written notice without
cause or penalty. In the event of the termination of the Advisory Agreement,
the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps
requested to assist the Directors in making an orderly transition of the
advisory function.

a loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the Advisor
was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company; (iii) such
liability or loss was not the result of misconduct on the part of the Advisor;
and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only
out of the Company's net assets and not from the Stockholders.
THE MANAGEMENT AGENT
Inland Commercial Property Management, Inc. ("ICPM" or the "Management
Agent"), an Affiliate of the Advisor, provides property management services to
the Company. ICPM, an Illinois corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Mid-America Management Corp. ("Mid-America"), which manages approximately
14,600 multi-family units, including approximately 13,600 in the Chicago
metropolitan area more than any other firm in that market. ICPM was
incorporated in 1994 to segregate responsibility for Mid-America's growing
management portfolio of commercial properties. In August 1988, Mid-America and
its Affiliates owned or managed 1.3 million square feet of retail property.
This figure had grown to 5.8 million square feet by August 1991 and to 9.6
million square feet in April 1996.
ICPM is responsible for collections, leasing and maintenance of the
commercial properties which it manages. A substantial portion of the
portfolio, approximately 7.6 million square feet, consists of properties
triple-net leased to creditworthy tenants, whereby the tenant operates and
maintains the property and rent is net of property taxes, insurance and
operating expenses.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the
executive officers and directors of ICPM. The biography of Mr. Norbert J.
Treonis is set forth above.

</TABLE>
ROBERT H. BAUM has been a Director of ICPM since its formation. Mr.
Baum has been with TIGI and its Affiliates since 1967 and is one of the four
original principals. Mr. Baum is Executive Vice President-General Counsel and
a Director of TIGI. In his capacity as General Counsel, Mr. Baum is
responsible for the supervision of the legal activities of TIGI and its
Affiliates. This responsibility includes the supervision of the Inland Law
Department and serving as liaison with all outside counsel. Mr. Baum is a
member of the North American Securities Administrators Association Real Estate
Advisory Committee and is a member of the Securities Advisory Committee to the
Secretary of State of Illinois. He is also a member of the American
Corporation Counsel Association, as well as a member of several bar

of the United States and the State of Illinois, as well as the bars of several
federal courts of appeals and federal district courts. He received his B.S.
Degree from the University of Wisconsin and his J.D. Degree from Northwestern
University School of Law.
DANIEL L. GOODWIN has been a Director of ICPM since its formation.
Mr. Goodwin is Chairman of the Board of Directors of TIGI, a billion-dollar
real estate and financial organization located in Oak Brook, Illinois. Mr.
Goodwin has been with TIGI and its Affiliates since 1967. Among TIGI's

For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Advisor
must reimburse the Company: (i) to the extent that the Advisor Asset
Management Fee plus Other Operating Expenses paid during the previous calendar
year exceed 2% of the Company's Average Invested Assets for that calendar year;
or (ii) 25% of the Company's Net Income for that calendar year.
The Advisory Agreement gives the Company the first opportunity to buy
any Neighborhood Retail Centers placed under contract by the Advisor or its
Affiliates provided the Company is able to close the purchase within 60 days.
The Advisory Agreement also provides the Company with the first opportunity to
purchase any single-user retail property net leased by a creditworthy tenant
located anywhere in the United States which is placed under contract or about
to be placed under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates, provided that:
(i) the Company has funds available to make the purchase; (ii) the Board votes
to make the purchase within five days of being offered such property by the
Advisor; (iii) the property meets the Company's acquisition criteria; and (iv)
in the event that more than one real estate investment program sponsored by the
Advisor or its Affiliates has funds available to make the purchase, such
property will first be offered to the program which has had funds available for
the longest period of time.
If the Advisor or its Affiliates perform services that are outside of
the scope of the Advisory Agreement, compensation is at such rates and in such
amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors. The
Directors (including a majority of its Independent Directors) approved the
payment to the Advisor of an Acquisition Expense reimbursement equal to
approximately 0.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds to cover costs incurred in the
Advisor's site selection and acquisition activities (including travel and
related items) on behalf of the Company. See "Compensation Table."
Many REITs which are listed on national stock exchange or included for
quotation on a national market system are considered "self-administered," since
the employees of the REIT perform all significant management functions. In
contrast, REITs that are not self-administered, like the Company, typically
engage a third-party to perform management functions on its behalf, such as an
advisor. Accordingly, should the Company commence a subsequent public offering
after completion of this Offering and apply to have the Shares listed for
trading on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national
market system, it may be in the Company's best interest to become self-
administered. In this event, if the Independent Directors determine that the
Company should become self-administered, the Advisory Agreement permits the
Advisor to merge into the Company and for the Company to allow such merger,
with the consideration determined through appropriate means agreed to by the
Company and the Advisor. In the event the Advisor is merged into the Company,
certain key employees of the Advisor will become employees of the Company.
In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated because Shares are
listed for trading on a national stock exchange or market system, provision for
payment of fees to the Advisor will be terminated. The Advisor and the
Management Agent may be merged into the Company at the time of listing and may
receive Shares in the Company in an amount which would be determined at that
time, based upon the value of all fees given up or waived by the Advisor and
the Management Agent through the merger. In the event the Advisory Agreement
is terminated for any reason other than the merger of the Advisor into the
Company, all obligations of the Advisor and its Affiliates to offer properties
to the Company for purchase shall also terminate.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor and pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to the
Advisor with respect to acts or omissions of the Advisor, provided that: (i)
the Advisor determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused
62

subsidiaries is the largest property management firm in Illinois and one of the
largest commercial real estate and mortgage banking firms in the Midwest. Mr.
Goodwin has served as Director of the Avenue Bank of Oak Park and as a Director

member of the Cook County Commissioner's Economic Housing Development
Committee, and he was the Chairman of the DuPage County Affordable Housing Task

as the 1980's Man of the Year for the Illinois construction industry. In 1989,

in recognition of his efforts in making housing more affordable to Chicago's
senior citizens. On May 4, 1995, PADS, Inc. (Public Action to Deliver
Shelter) presented Mr. Goodwin with an award, recognizing TIGI as the leading
corporate provider of transitional housing for the homeless people of DuPage
County.

OTHER SERVICES
In addition to the services described above provided by the Advisor
and its Affiliates, Affiliates of the Advisor may provide other property-level
services to the Company and may receive compensation for such services,
including leasing, development, construction management, loan origination and
servicing, property tax reduction and risk managing fees. However, under no
circumstances will such compensation exceed 90% of that which will be paid to
third parties providing such services and all such compensation must have the
prior approval of a majority of the Directors, including a majority of the
Independent Directors.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company adopted the Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Independent Director Stock Option Plan") concurrently with the commencement of
the Prior Offering. Only non-employee Directors who are "disinterested
persons" as defined under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act are eligible to
participate in the Independent Director Stock Option Plan.
A total of 50,000 shares of Common Stock have been authorized and
reserved for issuance under the Independent Director Stock Option Plan. If the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or changed into, or
exchanged for, a different number or kind of shares or securities of the
Company through a reorganization or merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity, or through a combination, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock split, stock dividend, stock consolidation or otherwise, an appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares that may be issued
pursuant to options. A corresponding adjustment to the consideration payable
with respect to options granted prior to any such change shall also be made.
Any such adjustment, however, shall be made without change in the total
payment, if any, applicable to the portion of the options not exercised but
with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each share.
The Independent Director Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of
non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,000 Shares to each Independent
Director as of the date such individuals become Directors (the "Initial
Options"), and subsequent grants of options to purchase 500 Shares on the date
of each annual stockholders' meeting to each Independent Director then in
office (the "Subsequent Options", collectively with the "Initial Options"
referred to herein as an "Option" or "Options"). As of the date of this
Prospectus, Options to purchase 10,000 Shares at $9.05 per Share had been
granted.
The purchase price of Common Stock (the "Option Price") under each
Initial Option granted to Independent Directors who became Directors on or
before the date of the Offering is the fair market value of the Common Stock at
the date of the commencement of the Offering. The Option Price under each
Initial Option granted to Directors who become Directors after the commencement
of the Offering will be the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the
date of grant. The Option Price under each
65
<PAGE> 76
Subsequent Option granted to Directors shall be the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the last business day preceding the annual meeting. The Option
Price under Options granted during the period of the Offering is fixed in the
Independent Director Stock Option Plan at $9.05 per share.
The Initial Options are exercisable as follows: 1,000 Shares on the
date of grant and 1,000 Shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of
the date of grant. The Subsequent Options are exercisable on the second
anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted under the Independent
Director Stock Option Plan continue to be exercisable until the first to occur
of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or three months following the
date the Independent Director ceases to be a Director and may be exercised by
payment of cash or through the delivery of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of the Independent Director Stock Option Plan to the contrary,
no Option issued pursuant thereto may be exercised if such exercise would
jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT under the Code.
No Option may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred by an
Independent Director in any manner otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent or distribution. Options granted under the Independent Director Stock
Option Plan are generally exercisable in the case of death or disability for a
period of one year after death or the disabling event or three months after the
Independent Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason except
death or disability.
Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation
or upon sale of all or substantially all of the Company's property, the
Independent Director Stock Option Plan shall terminate, and any outstanding
options shall terminate and be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board may provide in writing in connection with, or in contemplation of, any
such transaction for any or all of the following alternatives (separately or in
combinations): (i) for the assumption by the successor corporation of the
options theretofore granted or the substitution by such corporation for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a parent
or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind
of shares and prices; (ii) for the continuance of the Independent Director
Stock Option Plan by such successor corporation in which event the Independent
Director Stock Option Plan and the options shall continue in the manner and
under the terms so provided; or (iii) for the payment in cash or Shares in lieu
of and in complete satisfaction of such options.

income tax purposes will be taxable to Stockholders as ordinary
dividend income. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits
generally will be treated as a non-taxable reduction of the
stockholder's basis in the Shares to the extent thereof, and
thereafter as taxable gain (a return of capital). These Distributions
will have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the
Distribution until the sale of the Stockholder's Shares. The Company
cannot calculate the portion of the Distribution for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 that represented a return of capital. For 1995,
$42,414 (or 5.76%) of the $736,627 Distribution paid for 1995
represented a return of capital. In order to maintain its
qualification as a REIT, the Company must make annual distribution to
Stockholders of at
67
<PAGE> 78
least 95% of its taxable income (which does not include net capital
gains) which was approximately $659,500 (or 89.5%) of the Distribution
paid in 1995. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be
required to make Distributions in excess of cash available for
distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.
Distributions are determined by the Company's Board of Directors and
are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds
available for distribution, the Company's financial condition, any
decision by the Board of Directors to reinvest funds rather than to
distribute the funds, the Company's capital expenditure, the annual
distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Code and other
factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
(b) "FFO" means net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation, and after
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. The Company presently has no interests in
unconsolidated partnerships or joint ventures. FFO and funds
available for distribution are calculated as follows:

(1) FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available
to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity. FFO as reported by the Company may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other real
estate companies.
(2) Reference is made to Note (5) of the Notes to Financial
Statements of the Company.
(3) As part of the Montgomery-Goodyear, Hartford/Naperville Plaza,
Nantucket Square and Antioch Plaza purchases, the Company will
receive rent under master lease agreements on the spaces
currently vacant for periods ranging from one year to 18
months or until the spaces are leased. Generally accepted
accounting principles require that as these payments are
received, they be recorded as a reduction in the purchase
price of the properties rather than as rental income. As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had recorded $133,016 of such
payments and for the three months ended March 31, 1996, the
Company recorded $109,333 of such payments.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
1. General. The Company's investment objectives are to: (i)
make regular Distributions to the Stockholders in amounts which may exceed the
Company's taxable income due to the non-cash nature of depreciation expense
and, to such extent, will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital, but in
no event less than 95% of the Company's taxable income pursuant to the REIT
qualification requirements; (ii) provide a hedge against inflation by entering
into leases which contain clauses for scheduled rent escalations or
participation in the growth of tenant sales, permitting the Company to increase
Distributions and provide capital appreciation; and (iii) preserve
Stockholders' capital.
2. Distributions. The Company currently pays regular monthly
Distributions to its Stockholders. However, the Company reserves the right,
prior to the completion of the acquisition process, to pay Distributions on a
quarterly basis out of Cash Flow, in an amount determined by the Board. The
Board presently anticipates that Distributions equal to an 8% annualized return
per Share will continue to be paid to each Stockholder of record. The
continuation of Distributions and the size of the Distributions depend upon a
variety of factors. There can be no assurance that Distributions will be made.
Distributions for the year ended December 31, 1995, totaled $736,627, of which
$42,414 was a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. In addition,
Distributions for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totalled $476,675, a
portion of which may be a return of capital.
To the extent possible, it will be the policy of the Company
to avoid the fluctuations in Distributions which might result if Distributions
were based on actual cash received during the Distribution period. To
implement this policy, the Company may use cash received during prior periods,
or cash received subsequent to the Distribution period and prior to the payment
date for such Distribution, in order to pay annualized Distributions consistent
with the Distribution level established from time to time by the Board. The
Company's ability to maintain this policy will be dependent upon the
availability of Cash Flow and applicable REIT rules. Therefore, there can be
no assurance that there will be Cash Flow available to pay Distributions, or
that Distributions will not fluctuate. Monthly Distributions will be
calculated with daily record and Distribution declaration dates. However, the
Board could, at any time, elect to pay Distributions quarterly, to reduce
administrative costs. It will be the general policy of the Company, subject to
applicable REIT rules, to reinvest proceeds from the sale, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of its properties through the purchase of
additional properties. See "--Sale or Disposition of Properties" in this
Section.
3. Types of Investments. The Company was formed to acquire
existing Neighborhood Retail Centers located primarily within an approximate
150-mile radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, a Chicago suburb,
where the Advisor maintains its acquisition and property management
headquarters, as well as single-user properties net leased by creditworthy
tenants, located throughout the United States. The Company may enter into sale
and leaseback transactions, pursuant to which the Company will purchase a
property from an entity and lease the property to such entity. It is the
Company's intention, whenever possible, to acquire properties free and clear of
permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price of each
property in cash or for shares of the Company's stock. However, if it is
determined to be in the best interests of the Company, the Company will, in
certain instances, utilize borrowing to acquire properties. On properties
purchased on an all-cash basis, the Company may later incur mortgage
indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected properties, if favorable
financing terms are available. The proceeds from such loans would be used to
acquire additional properties and increase Cash Flow. Certain of these
properties will be subject to "net" leases. "Net" leases typically require
that tenants pay all or a majority of the operating expenses including real
estate taxes, special assessments and
69
<PAGE> 80
sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance and building repairs related to the
property, as well as lease payments. The leases will be long-term (typically
15 to 25 years, but generally not less than ten years) and may provide for a
base minimum annual rent with periodic increases. For purposes hereof, a
creditworthy tenant shall be defined as a tenant with a minimum net worth equal
to ten times one year's rental payments required under the terms of the lease
or, alternatively, a tenant for whom payments under the lease are guaranteed by
an affiliate having a minimum net worth of $10 million.
The Company will elect to purchase properties based on an
examination and evaluation by the Advisor of the potential value of the site,
the financial condition and business history of the property, the demographics
of the area in which the property is located or to be located, the proposed
purchase price, geographic and market diversification and potential sales. In
acquiring a property, the Advisor requires a Phase I environmental report and,
if necessary, a Phase II environmental report. In a sale-leaseback situation,
the seller of the property generally is assuming the operating risk which may
increase the price paid for the property. All acquisitions from Affiliates are
subject to approval by a majority of the Directors, including a majority of the
Independent Directors.
The Advisor and its Affiliates may purchase properties in
their own name, assume loans in connection therewith and temporarily hold title
thereto for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such property,
borrowing money or obtaining financing for the Company, the completion of
construction of the property or any other purpose related to the business of
the Company. In no event, however, may the Advisor or its Affiliates transfer
any property to the Company which it has held in excess of 12 months prior to
commencement of the Offering, except those specified in this Prospectus.
4. Acquisition Standards. Through its experience with the
acquisition of approximately 750 properties by Affiliates, the Advisor believes
the Company has the ability to identify quality properties capable of meeting
the investment objectives of the Offering. In evaluating potential
acquisitions, the Company considers a number of factors, including a
property's: (a) geographic location and type; (b) construction quality and
condition; (c) current and projected cash flow; (d) potential for capital
appreciation; (e) lease rent roll, including the potential for rent increases;
(f) potential for economic growth in the tax and regulatory environment of the
community in which the property is located; (g) potential for expanding the
physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites; (h) occupancy and
demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the same geographic
vicinity; (i) prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of
the property; (j) competition from existing properties and the potential for
the construction of new properties in the area; and (k) treatment under
applicable federal, state and local tax and other laws and regulations.

In 1993, Chicago had the third largest population among 313
metropolitan areas in the nation with more than 7.6 million people. Chicago
today is one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas and retail markets.
While the rate of growth of this large market from 1993 through 2020 is
forecast to trail that of the nation as a whole, in absolute numbers Chicago
will be a leader in increases in population, jobs, per capita income and retail
sales. Population is forecast to increase 0.33% per year in the Chicago
metropolitan area, compared to 0.83% for the nation as a whole; for jobs, the
forecasted annual increase is 0.87% for Chicago, compared to 1.02% for the
nation; for retail sales, the total forecasted increase from 1993 to 2020 is
43% for Chicago and 64% for the nation.
Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. projects that from 1993 through
2020, the Chicago metropolitan area will add 714,840 persons, the 21st largest
increase among the nation's 313 metropolitan areas, with Chicago retaining its
current place as third largest metropolitan area in the nation.
For the same period it is forecast that the Chicago area will:
(i) see a 50% rise in per capita income, improving the area's ranking from 23rd
to 18th among the nation's 313 metropolitan areas; (ii) lead the nation in the
number of new jobs, with 1,153,500; and (iii) see a rise in annual retail sales
from $49.8 billion to $71.1 billion, the largest increase among any
metropolitan area in the nation.
5. Description of Leases. The Company anticipates that with
regard to its properties, lessees will generally be required to pay a share,
either pro rata or fixed, of the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and
common area maintenance of the properties. It is the Company's intent that a
substantial number of these leases will also contain provisions which increase
the amount of base rent payable at certain points during the lease term and/or
provide for the payment of additional rent calculated as a percentage of a
tenant's gross sales above predetermined thresholds. The terms of the leases
with Anchor Tenants will generally have initial terms of ten to 25 years, with
one or more options available to the lessee upon expiration of the initial
term. By contrast, smaller tenant leases typically have three to five year
terms.
During the initial term of a "net" lease, anticipated to be
not less than ten years, but typically 15 to 25 years, the tenant will pay the
Company, as lessor, a predetermined minimum annual rent generally based upon
the Company's cost of purchasing the land and building. In addition to the
minimum annual rent, lessees may pay the Company additional annual rent as a
result of predetermined periodic increases.
Each "net" lease tenant will be required to obtain liability
insurance covering the properties owned by the Company. The third party
liability coverage will insure, among others, the Company and the Advisor.
Each tenant will be required to obtain, at its own expense, property insurance
naming the Company as the insured party for fire and other casualty losses in
an amount equal to the full value of such property. All such insurance must be
approved by the Advisor. In general, the "net" lease may be assigned or
subleased with the Company's prior written consent, but the original tenant
will remain fully liable under the lease unless the assignee meets certain
income and net worth tests.
71
<PAGE> 82
6. Property Acquisition. The Company's acquisitions are anticipated to be
acquisitions of fee interests in real property, althouh other methods of
acquiring a property may be utilized if it is deemed to be advantageous to the
Company. For example, the Company may acquire properties through a joint
Venture or the acquisition of substantially all of the interests of an entity
which in turn owns the real property. The Company may also use wholly owned
subsidiaries to acquire a property. Such wholly owned subsidiaries will be
formed solely for the purpose of acquiring a property or properties.
See "--Joint Ventures" in this Section.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had acquired nine
Neighborhood Retail Centers and one single-user retail property. The Company
has executed a commitment to purchase, subject to completion of due diligence,
an additional single-user retail property, on an all cash basis, for
$2,455,000. There can be no assurance that this property will be acquired.
Two of the properties acquired to date, the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the
Walgreen/Decatur property, were acquired from an Affiliate. The purchase
prices for those properties were not the subject of arm's-length negotiations.
The Articles provide that the Company shall not purchase a property from an
Affiliate unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not interested in the transaction approve the purchase
as fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company no greater
than the cost of the asset to such Affiliate, or if the price to the Company is
in excess of such cost, that substantial justification for such excess exists
and that such excess is reasonable. In no event shall the cost of such asset
to the Company exceed its current appraised value. A majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the then Independent Directors) approved the purchases
of the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreen/Decatur property as being
fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company no greater
than the cost of the assets to such Affiliate. There can be no assurance,
however, that the prices paid to the Affiliate for the Eagle Crest Shopping
Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property or for future acquisitions of
properties from Affiliates, if any, did not or would not exceed that which
would be paid by an unaffiliated buyer. See "Real Property Investments."
In some cases, the Company may commit to purchase properties subject to
completion of construction in accordance with terms and conditions specified
by the Company. In such cases, the Company will be obligated to purchase the
property at the completion of construction, provided the construction conforms
to definitive plans, specifications and costs approved
by the Company and embodied in the construction contract, as well as, in most
instances, satisfaction that agreed upon percentages of the property are
leased. The Company will receive a certificate of an architect, engineer or
other appropriate party, stating that the property complies with all plans and
specifications. The Company will not be permitted to construct or develop
properties, or render any services in connection with such development or
construction.
If remodeling is required prior to the purchase of a property, the Company
will pay a negotiated maximum amount either upon completion or in installments
commencing prior to completion. Such amount will be based on the estimated
cost of such remodeling. In such instances, the Company will also have the
right to review the lessee's books during and following completion of the
remodeling to verify actual costs. In the event of substantial disparity
between estimated and actual costs, an adjustment in purchase price may be
negotiated. If remodeling is required after the purchase of a property, an
Affiliate of the Advisor may serve as construction manager for a fee no greater
than 90% of the fee a third party would charge for such services.
The Advisor and its Affiliates may purchase properties in their own name,
and assume loans in connection therewith and temporarily hold title thereto for
the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such property, obtaining
financing for the Company, the completion of construction of the property or
any other purpose related to the business of the Company, in accordance with
the terms set forth in the Bylaws.
72
<PAGE> 83
7. Borrowing. It is the Company's intention, whenever possible, to
acquire properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying
the entire purchase price of each property in cash or for shares of the
Company's stock. However, if it is determined to be in the best interest of
the Company, the Company will, in certain instances, utilize borrowing to
acquire properties. On properties purchased on an all cash basis, the Company
may later incur mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected
properties, if favorable financing terms are available. The proceeds from such
loans would be used to acquire additional properties and increase Cash Flow.
The Company may also incur indebtedness to finance improvements to the
properties it acquires. The Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings
related to all of the Company's properties will not exceed 50% of their
combined fair market values, however, the maximum amount of borrowings in
relation to Net Assets shall, in the absence of the consent of a majority of
the Stockholders, not exceed 300% of Net Assets.
If the Company does borrow funds secured by its properties, it intends to
incur only non-recourse indebtedness, if available, in connection with such
borrowings, meaning that the lenders' rights on default will generally be
limited to foreclosure on the property which secured the obligation. The
Company will not borrow funds from a program sponsored by the Advisor or its
Affiliates which makes or invests in mortgage loans. If the Company incurs
mortgage indebtedness, it would endeavor to obtain level payment financing,
meaning that the amount of debt service payable would be substantially the same
each year, although some mortgages might provide for a so-called "balloon"
payment. Any mortgages secured by Company property will comply with the
restrictions set forth by the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of
California. See "Summary of the Organizational Documents--Restrictions on
Borrowing."
8. Sale or Disposition of Properties. The determination of whether a
particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after
consideration of relevant factors, including performance or projected
performance of the property and market conditions, with a view toward achieving
the principal investment objectives of the Company.
In general, it will be the Company's policy to hold its properties, prior
to sale, for a minimum of four years. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of the Company--Prohibited Transactions." Furthermore,
the general policy of the Company will be to reinvest proceeds from the sale,
financing, refinancing or other disposition of its properties that represents
the initial investment into additional properties or, secondarily, to use such
proceeds for the maintenance or repair of existing properties or to increase
reserves for such purposes. The objective of reinvesting such portion of the
sale, financing and refinancing proceeds is to increase the real estate assets
owned by the Company, and the Cash Flow derived from such assets, prior to
listing the Company's Shares on a national securities exchange or market, with
the further objective of maximizing Share prices at the time of listing.
Notwithstanding this policy, the Board, in its discretion, may distribute to
Stockholders all of the proceeds from the sale, financing, refinancing or other
disposition of the Company's properties. In determining whether all of such
proceeds should be distributed to Stockholders, the Board will consider, among
other factors, the desirability of properties available for purchase, real
estate market conditions, the likelihood of the listing of the Company's shares
on a national securities exchange or market and compliance with REIT
regulations. Because the Company may reinvest such portion of the proceeds
from the sale, financing or refinancing of its properties, the Company could
hold Stockholders' capital indefinitely.
73
<PAGE> 84
However, the affirmative vote of the Stockholders controlling a majority of the
Shares will force the Company to liquidate its assets and dissolve. See
"Summary of the Organizational Documents--Dissolution or Termination of the
Company."
In connection with a sale of a property owned by the Company, the
Company's general policy will be to obtain an all-cash sale price. However, a
purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage on the property sold may be
taken as partial payment; there are no limitations or restrictions on the
Company taking such purchase money obligations. The terms of payment to the
Company will be affected by custom in the area in which the property being sold
is located and the then prevailing economic conditions. To the extent the
Company receives notes and other property instead of cash from sales, such
proceeds (other than any interest payable thereon) will not be included in net
sale proceeds until and to the extent the notes or other property are actually
paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of and, therefore, the
distribution of the proceeds of a sale to the Stockholders may be delayed until
such time. In such cases, the Company will receive payments (cash and other
property) in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and
subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years.
9. Change in Investment Objectives. The Stockholders have no voting
rights with respect to implementing the investment objectives and policies of
the Company, all of which are the responsibility of the Board. The Board will
not, however, make any material change in the principal investment objectives
described herein under the caption "Investment Objectives and Policies" without
first obtaining the written consent or approval of the Stockholders controlling
a majority of the Shares.
10. Certain Investment Limitations. The Company will not: (i) invest
more than 10% of its total assets in unimproved real property; (ii) invest in
commodities or commodity future contracts; (iii)Eissue redeemable equity
securities; (iv) issue shares on a deferred payment basis or other similar
arrangement; and (v) operate in such a manner as to be classified as an
"investment company" for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. See "Summary of the Organizational Documents--Restrictions on
Investments."
11. Appraisals. All real property acquisitions made and to be made by the
Company have been or will be supported by an appraisal prepared by a competent,
independent appraiser who is a member-in-good standing of the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers prior to the purchase of the property. The
purchase price of each property will not exceed its appraised value. It should
be noted, however, that appraisals are estimates of value
and should not be relied on as measures of true worth or realizable value. The
appraisal will be maintained in the Company's records for at least five years
and copies of such appraisals will be available for review by Stockholders upon
their request.
12. Return of Uninvested Proceeds. Any of the proceeds of this Offering
allocable to investments in real property which have not been invested in real
property or committed for such purpose within the later of: (i) 24 months from
the original effective date of this Prospectus; or (ii) 12 months from the
termination of the Offering, will be returned by the Company to the
Stockholders. All funds received by the Company out of the escrow account will
be available for the general use of the Company from the time of such receipt
until the expiration of the period discussed above and may be expended to
operate the properties which have been acquired and to reimburse the Advisor
for certain expenses of the Company, to the extent allowable under the Advisory
Agreement. Funds will not be segregated or held separate from other funds of
the Company pending investment, and interest will be payable to the
Stockholders if uninvested funds are returned to them.
74
<PAGE> 85
13. Additional Offerings and Exchange Listing. The Company anticipates
that, by 1999, the Board of Directors will determine whether it is in the best
interests of the Company to: (i) apply to have the Shares listed for trading on
a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market
system, provided the Company meets the then applicable listing requirements;
and/or (ii) commence a subsequent public offering after completion of this
Offering. The Company believes that the completion of a subsequent public
offering and/or exchange listing will allow the Company to increase its size,
portfolio diversity, stockholder liquidity, access to capital and stability,
and decrease its operating costs through economies of scale. If listing of the
Shares is not feasible by 1999, the Board may decide to: (i) sell the
Company's assets individually; or (ii) list the Shares at a future date to
provide liquidity for Stockholders.
14. Joint Ventures. The Company shall be permitted to invest in joint
venture arrangements with other public real estate programs formed by the
Advisor or any of its Affiliates if a majority of Directors (including a
majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction
approve the transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company and the
investment by each such joint venture partner is substantially on the same
terms and conditions as those received by other joint venturers.
The Company shall be permitted to invest in general partnerships or joint
venture arrangements with Affiliates other than publicly registered Affiliates
only under the following conditions: (i) the investment is necessary to
relieve the Company from any commitment to purchase a property entered into
prior to the closing of the Offering; (ii) there are no duplicate property
management or other fees; (iii) the investment of each entity is on
substantially the same terms and conditions; and (iv) the Company must have a
right of first refusal if the Advisor or its Affiliates wish to sell the
property held in such joint venture. In addition, the Company shall be
permitted to invest in general partnerships or joint venture arrangements with
Affiliates as co-owners of a property. The Company will be able to increase
its equity participation in such entity as additional proceeds of the Offering
are received by the Company with the result that the Company will end up with
up to a 100% equity ownership of the property, provided, however that the
affiliated general or joint venture partner will not be entitled to any profit
or other benefit on such sale of its equity participation to the Company.
It should be noted that there is a potential risk of an impasse on joint
venture decisions (i.e., that the Company and its joint venture partner will be
unable to agree on a matter material to the joint venture). Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient financial resources
to exercise its right of first refusal. The Company will not enter into joint
venture arrangements with entities unaffiliated with the Advisor and its
Affiliates. See "Risk Factors--Investment Risks--Objectives of Joint Venture
Partners May Conflict with the Company's Objectives."
15. Other Policies. In determining whether to purchase a particular
property, the Company may first obtain an option to purchase such property.
The amount paid for the option, if any, usually would be surrendered if the
property was not purchased and normally would be credited against the purchase
price if the property was purchased.
The Company will not invest in any multi-family residential properties,
leisure home sites, farms, ranches, timberlands, unimproved or mining
properties. Assuming the Maximum Offering is sold, the Company does not intend
to invest more than approximately 20% of the anticipated proceeds in any one
property.
75
<PAGE> 86
The Company holds all funds, pending investment in properties, in assets
which will allow the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT. Such
investments are highly liquid and provide for appropriate safety of principal
and may include, but are not limited to, investments such as GNMA bonds
and real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company--REIT Qualification Tests."
The Company will not make distributions-in-kind, except for: (i)
distributions of readily marketable securities; (ii) distributions of
beneficial interest in a liquidating trust established for the dissolution of
the Company and the liquidation of its assets in accordance with the terms
of the Articles; or (iii) distributions of in-kind property which meet all of
the following conditions: (a) the Directors advise each Stockholder of the
risks associated with direct ownership of the property; (b) the Directors offer
each Stockholder the election of receiving in-kind property distributions; and
(c) the Directors distribute in-kind property only to those Stockholders who
accept the Directors' offer.
REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENTS
The Company currently owns nine Neighborhood Retail Centers and one
single-user retail property. The Company has committed to purchase, subject to
completion of due diligence, an additional single-user retail property on an
all cash basis. There can be no assurance that this property will be acquired.
See "-- Proposed Property Acquisition," below. The terms of the Company's
leases vary depending upon tenant size, but in many cases contain contractual
provisions which automatically increase the amount of base rent payable at
certain points during the term of the lease. Such leases may also contain
provisions which provide for the payment of additional rent calculated as a
percentage of a tenant's gross sales above pre-determined thresholds.
THE WALGREENS/DECATUR PROPERTY
On January 31, 1995, the Company acquired the Walgreens/Decatur property
from Inland Property Sales, Inc. ("IPS"), an Affiliate of the Advisor, for the
purchase price of $1,209,053, including acquisition costs of $482. Although it
was originally anticipated that this property would be acquired on an all cash
basis, management of the Company made the determination, based on the
recommendations of the Advisor, that the investment objectives of the Company
would be better met by assuming a portion of the first mortgage loan secured by
such property, since: (i) the terms of the current first mortgage loan are more
favorable for the Company than mortgage rates currently available from
unaffiliated third parties; and (ii) the Company was able to apply its
available cash towards the acquisition of an additional property.
The Walgreen Company ("Walgreens"), which is the largest drug store chain
in the United States based on sales volume and is considered to be creditworthy
by the Company, leases 100% of the free-standing building, which has 13,500
square-feet of GLA and was constructed in 1988. IPS purchased the
Walgreens/Decatur property in 1990 for a purchase price of $1,152,500,
including a cash downpayment of $112,500 and first-mortgage debt of $1,040,000.
On June 9, 1994, IPS refinanced the Walgreens/Decatur property. The existing

As of May 31, 1996, the balance of the assumed mortgage was approximately
$747,094. This mortgage has an interest rate of 7.655%, amortizes over a
25-year period and matures May 31, 2004. The Company is responsible for
monthly payments of principal and interest of $5,689. For federal income tax
purposes, the Company's basis in the Walgreens/Decatur property is $1,130,723.
Real estate taxes and insurance for the Walgreens/Decatur property paid in 1995
were $24,600 and $1,701, respectively.
Walgreens' lease requires it to pay $127,820 in annual base rent ($9.47
per square foot). The rent does not include any allowances for tenant
improvements, leasing commissions or similar amounts. The lease provides for
payment of percentage rent equal to the amount by which 2.5% of general sales
and 1% of liquor sales exceed the base rent. 2.5% of general merchandise sales
and 1% of liquor sales currently equal approximately $80,000; therefore, no
percentage rent is currently payable. Walgreens has the option to cancel the
lease on September 1, 2008 or it can exercise up to five, five-year extensions.
The lease is on a double-net basis. Walgreens guarantees payment of rent,
reimbursement of property taxes and payment of all other property expenses,
exclusive of the roof and structural elements of the building.
The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the
occupancy rate of the Walgreens/Decatur property as a percentage for the time
IPS owned the property and the annual rent per square foot received for that
period, as well as since the Company owned the property. The information

THE EAGLE CREST SHOPPING CENTER
77
<PAGE> 88
On March 1, 1995, the Company acquired the Eagle Crest Shopping Center
("Eagle Crest"), a Neighborhood Retail Center located in Naperville, Illinois,
from IPS for a purchase price of $4,816,970, including acquisition costs of
$11,059. Although it was originally anticipated that Eagle Crest would be
acquired on an all-cash basis, management of the Company made the
determination, based on the recommendation of the Advisor, that the investment
objectives of the Company would be better met by assuming a portion of the
first mortgage loan held by IPS secured by such property, as well as entering
into a loan agreement with IPS for the balance of the purchase price. By
utilizing seller financing to purchase Eagle Crest, the Company was able to
begin receiving the net income, after debt service payments, from Eagle Crest
on an expedited basis, thus increasing the Company's earnings to be distributed
to the Stockholders.
Eagle Crest aggregates 67,650 square feet of GLA and is 100% leased. Its
major tenant is Eagle Foods, Inc. ("Eagle"). Eagle, which leases 46,096 square
feet (approximately 68%) of Eagle Crest's GLA, is the only tenant at Eagle
Crest which leases more than 10% of Eagle Crest's GLA and is considered
creditworthy by the Company. IPS purchased Eagle Crest in April 1991 for
$3,200,000, including a cash down payment of $457,893, first- and
second-mortgage debt of $2,244,139 and a note owed to the seller in the amount
of $493,192. In 1992, IPS refinanced the first-mortgage debt in the principal
amount of $2,450,000, realizing $76,792 in net refinancing proceeds. Since
purchasing Eagle Crest, IPS expended $142,441 for capital improvements at the
property. In 1993, Eagle completed extensive improvements to its store at
Eagle Crest, converting the store to a "country market"
format. On March 1, 1994, IPS again refinanced Eagle Crest, increasing the
principal amount of the first mortgage loan from $2,450,000 to $3,600,000,
using the additional $1,150,000 in loan proceeds, plus $50,000 of IPS's funds,
to reimburse $1,200,000 to Eagle for the improvements made by Eagle to its
store. In return for the reimbursement Eagle began paying an additional
$157,500 per annum in rent under its lease. Eagle's lease requires it to pay
base rent equal to $6.61 per square foot per annum through 1995 and increasing
to $6.68 per square foot per annum through February 2014. The lease contains
five five-year renewal options at a base rent equal to $6.68 per square foot.
Eagle leases its store on a double-net basis and is responsible for paying its
pro rata share of property taxes and a fixed amount of the common area
maintenance ("CAM") at Eagle Crest, which payments were $48,674 and $19,207,
respectively, for 1995.

The balance of the assumed mortgage was paid in full in April 1995 with
interest at 9.5% per annum. The total amount paid was $3,551,100, of which
$3,533,760 was principal paid from Gross Offering Proceeds and $17,340 was
interest paid from Company operations. The deferred portion of the purchase
price, totaling $1,212,427, was paid to IPS in full from Gross Offering
Proceeds, including accrued interest of $22,009, in May 1995. The interest was
paid from Company operations. At December 31, 1995, for federal income tax
purposes, the Company's basis in Eagle Crest was $2,938,352.
None of the rents received from any of the Eagle Crest tenants include
allowances for tenant improvements, leasing commissions or similar amounts.
Property taxes payable in 1995 for the tax year ended 1994 (the most recent tax
year for which information is available) totalled $72,854.

notice from one of its tenants at Nantucket Square of its intent to close its
store. The tenant, which occupies 6,228 square feet of space, vacated the
premises on December 10, 1995. The lease for the space currently expires on
January 31, 1998. The tenant is continuing to pay its monthly rent, however,
the Company is pursuing a replacement tenant. A second tenant at Nantucket
Square, occupying 3,300 square feet of space, filed for financial and
reorganization protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. This tenant
continues to occupy its space and pay its monthly rent. The bankruptcy
petition filed with the bankruptcy court stated this tenant planned on closing
a number of its other stores but did not anticipate closing its store at
Nantucket Square.
The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Company had a total of
2,000,073 Shares ($19,976,354) and 2,909,912 Shares ($29,060,946 outstanding),
in each case including 20,000 Shares held by the Advisor. At December 31,
1994, only the 20,000 Shares held by the Advisor were outstanding; however,
subscriptions for 189,938.145 Shares had been received as of that date.
Subscriber funds were held in an interest-bearing escrow account with the
Company's unaffiliated escrow agent until January 3, 1995 when subscriptions
for those Shares were accepted and the Shares were issued by the Company. The
Stockholders share in their portion of benefits of ownership of the Company's
real property investments according to the number of Shares held.
The Company's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo changes
through completion of this Offering as additional Shares are sold in this
Offering and additional properties are acquired. Operating cash flow is expected
to increase as these additional properties are added to the portfolio.
Distributions to Stockholders are determined by the Company's Board of Directors
and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds
available for distribution, the Company's financial condition, capital
expenditures and the annual distribution required to maintain REIT status under
the Code.
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had acquired seven properties, utilizing
approximately $22,700,000 and had cash and cash equivalents of $2,937,473
compared to two properties, utilizing approximately $6,026,023 and cash and
cash equivalents of $338,430 at March 31, 1995. The Company intends to use
these funds and funds from sales of additional Shares to purchase additional
properties, to make distributions and to pay offering costs. See "Subsequent
Events," below. To the extent that these sources are insufficient to meet the
Company's short- and long-term liquidity requirements, the Company may rely on
financing of one or more of the properties.
The properties owned by the Company are currently generating sufficient
cash flow to cover operating expenses of the Company plus pay a monthly
distribution of 8% per annum on weighted average shares. For the three months
ended March 31, 1996, cash provided by operations amounted to $596,106.
Distributions declared for the period were $476,675, a portion of which
represents a return of capital for
98
<PAGE> 109
federal income tax purposes. The return of capital portion of the distributions
can be determined only at year end.
Management monitors the various qualification tests the Company must meet
to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust. Large ownership of
the Company's stock is tested upon purchase to determine that no more than 50%
in value of the outstanding stock is owned directly, or indirectly, by five or
fewer persons or entities at any time. Management of the Company also
determines, on a quarterly basis, that the Gross Income, Asset and Distribution
Tests as described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company--REIT Qualification Tests" are met.
On an ongoing basis, as due diligence is performed by management of both the
Company and the Advisor on potential real estate purchases or temporary
investment of uninvested capital, management of both entities determines that
the income from the new asset will qualify for REIT purposes. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, the Company qualified as a REIT.
The Advisor has guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses
(excluding selling commissions, the marketing contribution and the due
diligence expense allowance fee) in excess of 5.5% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds of the Offering (the Gross Offering Proceeds") or all organization and
offering expenses (including such selling expenses) which together exceed 15%
of the Gross Offering Proceeds.
The Company provides the following programs to facilitate investment in
the Shares and to provide limited liquidity for Stockholders until such time as
a market for the Shares develops:
The Distribution Reinvestment Program allows Stockholders who purchase
Shares pursuant to the Offering to automatically reinvest distributions by
purchasing additional Shares from the Company. Such purchases will not be
subject to selling commissions or the Marketing
Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee and will be sold at a
price of $9.05 per Share. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had received
$371,596 from the sale of approximately 41,060 Shares through the DRP.
The Share Repurchase Program will, subject to certain restrictions,
provide existing Stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them
to sell shares back to the Company at a price of $9.05 per share. Shares
purchased by the Company will not be available for resale. As of MarchE31,
1996, the Company has repurchased 3,000 shares from Stockholders for an
aggregate price of $26,838, pursuant to the terms of the Share Repurchase
Program. The remaining $344,758 of DRP proceeds is available to the Company
for investment in additional properties, maintenance of existing properties or
the repurchase of additional shares pursuant to the terms of the Share
Repurchase Program.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of March 31, 1996, subscriptions for a total of 2,909,912 shares were
outstanding, including 20,000 Shares held by the Advisor. At March 31, 1996,
the Company owned six Neighborhood Retail Centers and one single user-retail
property. See also "-Subsequent Events," below.
PURCHASE OF WALGREENS/DECATUR, DECATUR, ILLINOIS
On January 31, 1995, the Company acquired this single-user retail property
from Inland Property Sales, Inc. ("IPS"), an Affiliate of the Advisor, for the
purchase price of $1,209,053, including acquisition costs of $482. Although it
was originally anticipated that this property would be acquired on an all-cash
99
<PAGE> 110
basis, management of the Company made the determination, based on the
recommendation of the Advisor, that the investment objectives of the Company
would be better met by assuming a portion of the mortgage loan secured by such
property, since: (i) the terms of the current first mortgage loan were more
favorable for the Company than mortgage rates then currently available from
unaffiliated third parties; and (ii) the Company was able to apply its
available cash towards the acquisition of a second property. The balance of
the assumed mortgage at December 31, 1995 was $750,727, and was $748,011 at
March 31, 1996. This mortgage has an interest rate of 7.655% and amortizes
over a 25-year period. The Company is responsible for monthly payments of
principal and interest of $5,689.
PURCHASE OF THE EAGLE CREST SHOPPING CENTER, NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS
On March 1, 1995, the Company acquired this Neighborhood Retail Center
("Eagle Crest") from IPS for the purchase price of $4,816,970, including
acquisition costs of $11,059. Although it was originally anticipated that Eagle
Crest would be acquired on an all-cash basis, management of the Company made the
determination, based on the recommendation of the Advisor, that the investment
objectives of the Company would be better met by assuming a portion of the first
mortgage loan secured by such property, as well as entering into a loan
agreement with IPS for the balance of the purchase price. By utilizing seller
financing to purchase Eagle Crest, the Company was able to begin receiving the
net income, after debt service payments, from Eagle Crest on an expedited basis,
thus increasing the Company's earnings to be distributed to the Stockholders.
The balance of the assumed mortgage was paid in full in April 1995 with interest
at 9.5% per annum. In May 1995, the deferred portion of the purchase price,
totaling $1,212,427, was paid to IPS in full from gross offering proceeds from
the Prior Offering. In addition, accrued interest of $22,009 was paid from
Company operations.
PURCHASE OF THE MONTGOMERY-GOODYEAR SHOPPING CENTER, MONTGOMERY, ILLINOIS
On September 14, 1995, the Company acquired this Neighborhood Retail
Center from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase price of $1,145,992,
including acquisition costs of $5,992, a portion of which was evidenced by a
promissory note payable to Inland Mortgage Investment Corporation ("IMIC"), an
affiliate of the Advisor, in the gross amount of $600,000. The remainder of
the purchase price was funded with proceeds of the Prior Offering. The
promissory note was paid in full October 1995, with interest at a rate of 10.9%
per annum. The principal amount paid was $600,000 from gross offering proceeds
from the Prior Offering and interest of $4,260 was paid from Company
operations.
PURCHASE OF THE HARTFORD/NAPERVILLE PLAZA, NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS
On September 14, 1995, the Company acquired this newly constructed
Neighborhood Retail Center from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase
price of $4,414,015, including acquisition costs of $14,015 and deposited
$150,000 in an escrow account to be paid to Blockbuster, Inc. to cover the cost
of its leasehold improvements. A portion of the purchase price was evidenced
by a promissory note payable to IMIC, in the gross amount of $600,000. The
remainder of the purchase price was funded with proceeds of the Prior Offering.
The promissory note was paid in full in October 1995, with interest at a rate
of 10.9% per annum. The principal amount paid was $600,000 from gross offering
proceeds from the Prior Offering and interest of $5,102 was paid from Company
operations.

PURCHASE OF THE NANTUCKET SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER, SCHAUMBURG, ILLINOIS
On September 20, 1995, the Company acquired this Neighborhood Retail Center
from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase price of $4,257,918, including
acquisition costs of $4,913, a portion of which was evidenced by a promissory
note payable to IMIC, in the gross amount of $3,550,000. The remainder of the
purchase price was funded with proceeds of the Prior Offering. The promissory
note was paid in full in December 1995, with interest at a rate of 10.5% per
annum. In addition, as part of the purchase, the Company agreed to and has paid
$51,135 for tenant improvements for two tenants expanding their space, which was
added to the cost of the property.
In October 1995, the Company received notice from one of its tenants at
Nantucket Square of its intent to close its store, which it did on December 10,
1995. The lease for the 6,228 square feet of space currently expires January
31, 1998. The Company is pursuing a replacement tenant, however, in the
interim, the tenant continues to pay its monthly rent. A second tenant at
Nantucket Square, occupying 3,300 square feet, filed for financial and
reorganization protection under the federal bankruptcy laws. The tenant
continues to occupy the space and pay its monthly rent. The petition filed
with the bankruptcy court by the tenant stated that it is planning on closing a
number of its other stores but did not anticipate closing its store at
Nantucket Square.
PURCHASE OF ANTIOCH PLAZA, ANTIOCH, ILLINOIS
On December 28, 1995, the Company acquired this Neighborhood Retail Center
from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase price of $1,750,365, including
acquisition costs of $365, a portion of which was evidenced by a promissory
note payable to IREC, an affiliate of the Advisor, in the gross amount of
$660,000. The remainder of the purchase price, net of prorations, of
approximately $1,100,000 was funded with proceeds of the Prior Offering. As of
December 31, 1995, the unpaid balance of this note was $360,000. The note
which bore interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum was repaid in full on January
9, 1996. The total amount repaid was $661,163, of which $660,000 was principal
paid from gross offering proceeds from the Prior Offering and $1,163 was
interest paid from Company operations.
PURCHASE OF THE MUNDELEIN PLAZA, MUNDELEIN, ILLINOIS
On March 29, 1996, the Company acquired this Neighborhood Retail Center
from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase price of $5,658,230, including
acquisition costs of $8,230 on an all cash basis.
The following is a list of approximate physical occupancy levels for the
Company's properties held as of the end of each quarter during 1995 and the
first quarter of 1996 (N/A indicates the property was not owned by the Company
at the end of the quarter):

(1) These properties were purchased after March 31, 1996. See "-- Subsequent
Events," below.
The increases in rental income, additional rental income, property
operating expenses to Affiliates and non-affiliates and depreciation for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1995, is due to the acquisition of properties during 1995. Rental
income is expected to increase as additional properties are added to the
portfolio.
The decrease in mortgage interest expense to affiliates and non-affiliates
for the three months ended MarchE31, 1996, as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1995, is due to the payoff of the financing relating to the
acquisitions of the properties. The Company continues to have mortgage
indebtedness of $747,094 collateralized by the Walgreens/Decatur Property. See
also "-Subsequent Events" regarding mortgage indebtedness secured by Regency
Point.
During 1994, the Advisor advanced $193,300 to the Company for costs
incurred with the Prior Offering. These advances were repaid with a market
rate of interest to the Advisor in January 1995.
Interest income is the result of working capital being invested in
short-term investments until properties are purchased.

The increases in professional services to affiliates and non-affiliates
and general and administrative expenses to affiliates and non-affiliates for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1995, is due to the Company entering the operational stage.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 5, 1996, the Company acquired the Regency Point Shopping Center
located in Lockport, Illinois from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase
price of $5,700,000. As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed an
existing first mortgage loan of approximately $4,473,200 along with a related
interest rate swap agreement. The remainder of the purchase price of
approximately $1,226,800 was funded, after prorations, with proceeds of the
Prior Offering. On June 17, 1996, the Company acquired Prospect Heights Plaza
in Prospect Heights, Illinois for $2,165,000 on an all cash basis. The Company
also purchased, on June 17, 1996, the Montgomery-Sears Shopping Center located
in Montgomery, Illinois for $3,419,000 on an all cash basis. See "Real Estate
Investments."
The Advisor is continuing to explore the purchase of additional shopping
centers from unaffiliated third parties for the Company and is currently
completing its due diligence on a single-user retail property to be purchased
from an unaffiliated third party. The Zany Brainy Store located in Wheaton,
Illinois, is expected to be purchased in July 1996 for a purchase price of
$2,455,000 on an all-cash basis. There can be no assurance that this property
will be acquired.
INFLATION
For the Company's Neighborhood Retail Centers, inflation is likely to
increase rental income from leases to new tenants and lease renewals, subject
to market conditions. Continued inflation may cause capital appreciation of
these properties over time as rental rates and the replacement cost of the
properties rise.
The Company's rental income and operating expenses for those properties
owned or to be owned and operated under triple-net leases, like the
Walgreens/Decatur property, are not likely to be directly affected by future
inflation, since property expenses are the responsibility of the tenants. The
capital appreciation of triple-net leased properties is likely to be influenced
by interest rate fluctuations. To the extent that inflation determines
interest rates, future inflation may have an effect on the capital appreciation
of triple-net leased properties.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
which was issued in March 1995 and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995.
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans" which was issued in
October 1995. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. As allowed by the new Statement, the Company plans to
continue to use Accounting Principles Board Option No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for its stock options.
103
<PAGE> 114
Neither of these accounting pronouncements are expected to have a material
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Company has been organized and intends to operate in a manner that
permits it to continue to qualify as a REIT under the applicable provisions of
the Code and Regulations (the "REIT Requirements") and receive the beneficial
tax treatment described below. However, no assurance can be given that the
activities and operations of the Company will allow it to continue to meet the
REIT Requirements, which are highly technical and complex. The following
discusses the rules the Company must comply with to receive REIT treatment, the
federal income tax consequences to the Company and its Stockholders of the
Company maintaining REIT status and all material federal income tax
consequences to an investor in the Offering. The discussion is qualified in
its entirety by the applicable REIT qualification provisions contained in the
Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and
judicial interpretations thereof. Shefsky Froelich & Devine Ltd. has acted and
will act as tax counsel to the Company in connection with the organization of
the Company and its election to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes and has rendered the opinion set forth below. The tax implications of
an investment in the Company's Shares is set forth in "--Taxation of
Stockholders" in this Section. Each prospective purchaser of Shares, however,
is urged to consult his tax advisor with respect to the federal, state, local,
foreign and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition
of Shares which may be particular to his tax situation.
In brief, a corporation that invests primarily in real estate can, if it
complies with the detailed REIT provisions in Code Sections 856-860, qualify as
a REIT and therefore claim tax deductions for the dividends it pays to its
stockholders. Such a corporation is, therefore, generally not taxed on its
"REIT taxable income" to the extent such income is currently distributed to
stockholders, thereby substantially eliminating the "double taxation" that a
corporation generally bears. However, as discussed in greater detail below,
such an entity could be subject to tax in certain circumstances even if it
qualifies as a REIT and would likely suffer adverse consequences, including
reduced cash available for distribution to its stockholders, if it failed to
qualify as a REIT. See "--Taxation of the Company--Failure to Qualify" in this
Section. The Board intends that the Company will continue to operate in a
manner that permitted it to elect REIT status beginning with its taxable year
ending December 31, 1995 and to continue to maintain this status in each
taxable year thereafter, so long as REIT status remains advantageous to the
Company and the Stockholders.
Shefsky Froelich & Devine, Ltd. is of the opinion, based on the
assumptions and representations described in this Section and throughout the
Prospectus, that the Company has been organized in conformity with the
requirements for qualification as a REIT, beginning with its taxable year
ending December 31, 1995 and that its method of operation (as described in this
Prospectus and represented by the Company and its management) will enable it
to continue to satisfy the REIT Requirements. This opinion has been filed as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part,
and is based in condition on various assumptions and certain
representations made to Shefsky Froelich & Devine, Ltd. by the Company and the
Advisor as to certain factual matters. The Company's qualification and
taxation as a REIT will depend upon the Company's ability to meet, through the
operation of its current properties and those properties it acquires in the
future. Shefsky Froelich & Devine, Ltd. will not review compliance with these
tests on a continuing basis; accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
104
<PAGE> 115
actual operating results of the Company will allow the Company to satisfy the
REIT Requirements in each tax year. In addition, this opinion represents
counsel's legal judgment and is not binding on the Service.
The management of the Company and the Advisor currently expects that the
Company has operated and will continue to operate in a manner that permits the
Company to elect, and that it has elected, REIT status for its taxable year
ending December 31, 1995, and each taxable year thereafter. There can be no
assurance, however, that this expectation will be fulfilled, since
qualification as a REIT depends on the Company's ability to continue to satisfy
numerous asset, income and distribution tests described below, which in turn
will be dependant on part on the Company's operating results.
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
General. In any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT and has a
valid election in place, it will claim deductions for the dividends it pays to
the Stockholders, and therefore will not be subject to federal income tax on
that portion of its "REIT taxable income" or capital gain which is, in effect,
distributed to the Stockholders. The Company will, however, be subject to tax
at normal corporate rates on any taxable income or capital gain not
distributed.
Although the Company, if it maintains REIT status, can eliminate (or
substantially reduce) its federal income tax liability by maintaining its REIT
status and paying sufficient dividends, the Company could be subject to tax on
certain items of income. If the Company fails to satisfy either the 95% Test
or the 75% Test (as defined below), yet maintains its REIT status by meeting
other requirements, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of the
amount by which the Company fails either test. The Company will also be
subject to a 100% tax on the net income from any "prohibited transaction," as
described below. In addition, if the Company fails to annually distribute at
least the sum of: (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year; (ii) 95%
of its REIT capital gain net income for such year; and (iii) any undistributed
taxable income from prior years, it would be subject to an excise tax equal to
4% of the difference between the amount required to be distributed under such
formula and the amount actually distributed. The Company may also be subject
to the corporate alternative minimum tax. Additionally, the Company will be
subject to tax at the highest corporate rate on any non-qualifying income from
"foreclosure property," although the Company will not own any "foreclosure
property" unless it makes loans secured by interests in real property and
forecloses on the property following a default on the loan.
If the Company acquires any asset from a C corporation (generally, a
corporation subject to full corporate-level tax) in a transaction in which the
basis of the assets in the Company's hands are determined by reference to the
basis of the assets (or any other property) in the hands of the transferor
corporation (or if a REIT such as the Company holds such an asset beginning on
the first day of the first taxable year for which the Company qualifies as a
REIT), and the Company recognizes gain on the disposition of such an asset
during the 10-year period beginning on the date on which such asset was
acquired by the Company (or the date that the Company first qualified as a
REIT) (the "Recognition Period"), then, pursuant to guidelines to be issued by
the Service, the excess of the fair market value as of the beginning of the
applicable Recognition Period over the Company's adjusted basis in such asset
at the beginning of such Recognition Period will be subject to tax at the
highest regular corporate tax rates.
REIT Qualification Tests. The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust
or association:
(i) that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;
105
<PAGE> 116
(ii) the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable
shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;
(iii) that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for its
status as a REIT;
(iv) that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance
company;
(v) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more
persons on at least 335 days in each full taxable year, proportionately
adjusted for a partial taxable year;
(vi) at all times during the second half of each taxable year, no
more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned, directly, or
indirectly, by five or fewer persons or entities; and
(vii) the Gross Income, Asset and Distribution Tests, described in
greater detail below, are met.
Conditions (i) through (iv) and (vii) must be met during each taxable year
for which REIT status is sought while conditions (v) and (vi) do not have to be
met until after the first taxable year for which a REIT election is made.
Although the Voting Test (as defined below) generally prevents a REIT from
owning more than 10% of the voting stock of an entity, the Code provides an
exception for ownership of voting stock in a qualified REIT subsidiary (a
"QRS"), a corporation that is wholly-owned by a REIT throughout the subsidiary's
existence. For purposes of the Asset and Gross Income Tests described below,
all assets, liabilities and tax attributes of a QRS are treated as belonging to
the REIT. A QRS is not subject to federal income tax, but may be subject to
state or local tax. The Company may in the future hold direct or indirect
interests in one or more partnerships or joint ventures. In general, a
partnership is not subject to federal income tax and instead, allocates its tax
attributes to its partners. The partners are subject to tax on their allocable
share of the income and gain, without regard to whether they receive
distributions from the partnership. Each partner's share of a partnership's tax
attributes is determined in accordance with the partnership agreement. In
addition, for purposes of the Asset and Income Tests, the Company will be deemed
to own and earn (based on its capital interest) an undivided interest in each
asset and a share of each item of gross income.
The Company, in satisfying the general tests described above, must meet,
among others, the following requirements:
A. Share Ownership Tests. The Shares and any other capital stock the
Company issues (with the Shares, "Capital Stock") must be held by a minimum of
100 persons (determined without attribution to the owners of any entity owning
Capital Stock) for at least 335 days in each full taxable year, proportionately
adjusted for partial taxable years. In addition, at all times during the
second half of each taxable year, no more than 50% in value of the Capital
Stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals
(determined with attribution to the owners of any entity owning Capital Stock).
However, these two requirements do not apply until after the first taxable
year an entity seeks REIT status. The Company will issue sufficient Capital
Stock pursuant to the Offering to allow the Company to satisfy these
requirements and has indicated that it will not admit investors as Stockholders
until it is likely that
106
<PAGE> 117
the admission will allow there to be sufficient Stockholders to meet these
requirements. In addition, the Company's Articles contain provisions
restricting the transfer of Capital Stock, which provisions are intended to
assist the Company in satisfying both requirements. Furthermore, the
Distribution Reinvestment Program contains provisions that prevent its
operations from causing a violation of these tests as do the terms of the
options granted to the Independent Directors and the terms of the Soliciting
Dealer Warrants. Moreover, the Company will maintain records which disclose the
actual ownership of the outstanding Capital Stock, and the Company demands
written statements each year from the record holders of 5% or more of the
Capital Stock disclosing the beneficial owners thereof. Those Stockholders
failing or refusing to comply with the Company's written demand are required by
the Code and the Articles to submit, with their tax returns, a similar statement
disclosing the actual ownership of Capital Stock and certain other information.
See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."
B. Asset Tests. The Company must satisfy, on the last day of each calendar
quarter, two tests based on the composition of its assets. After initially
meeting the Asset Tests at the close of any quarter, the Company will not lose
its status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the Asset Tests at the end of a
later quarter solely due to changes in value. In addition, if the failure to
satisfy the Asset Tests results from an acquisition during a quarter, the
failure can be cured by disposing of non-qualifying assets within 30 days after
the close of that quarter. The Company intends to maintain adequate records of
the value of its assets to insure compliance with the Asset Tests, and will take
such other actions within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be
required to cure any non-compliance.
1. 75% Asset Test. At least 75% of the value of the Company's total
assets must be represented by "real estate assets," cash, cash items (including
receivables from the operations of the Company) and government securities (the
"75% Asset Test"). Real estate assets include interests in real property
(including undivided interests in real property, leaseholds of land and options
to acquire land), interests in mortgages on real property, shares in other
qualifying REITs and property attributable to certain temporary investments of
new capital for a one year period beginning on the date the REIT received the
new capital. Property will qualify as attributable to the temporary investment
of new capital if the property is stock or a debt instrument and the money used
to purchase such stock or debt instrument is received by the REIT in exchange
for stock in the REIT (other than amounts received pursuant to a dividend
reinvestment plan) or in a public offering of debt obligations which have a
maturity of at least five years. The Company will own the properties, and the
purchase contracts will apportion no more than 5% of the purchase price of any
property to property other than "real property," as defined in the Code. In
addition, the Company will invest funds not used to acquire properties in cash
sources, GNMA certificates, REMIC interests, "new capital" investments or other
liquid investments which will allow it to qualify under the 75% Asset Test.
Therefore, the Company's investment in the properties will constitute "real
estate assets" and should allow the Company to meet the 75% Asset Test.
2. Limitation Tests. The remaining 25% of the Company's assets generally
may be invested without restriction, although if invested in securities, such
securities may not exceed either: (i) 5% of the value of the Company's total
assets as to any one non-government issuer; or (ii) 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of any one issuer. A partnership interest held by a REIT is
not considered a "security" for purposes of these tests.
C. Gross Income Tests. The Company must satisfy for each calendar year
three separate tests based on the composition of its gross income, as defined
under its method of accounting. For purposes of these tests, if the Company
invests in a partnership, it will be treated as receiving its share of the
107
<PAGE> 118
income and loss of the partnership, and the gross income of the partnership
will retain the same character in the hands of the Company as it has in the
hands of the partnership.
1. The 75% Gross Income Test (the "75% Test"). At least 75% of the
Company's gross income for the taxable year must result from "rents from real
property" (as defined below), interest on obligations secured by real property
mortgages, gains from the sale of interests in real property and real estate
mortgages (other than gain from property held primarily for sale to customers
in the ordinary course of the Company's trade or business), dividends from
other qualifying REITs, certain other investments relating to real property or
mortgages thereon, and, for a limited time, income from the investment of new
capital. Income will qualify as attributable to the temporary investment of
"new capital" if the income is attributable to the ownership of a stock or debt
instrument, but only during the one year period beginning on the date the REIT
receives such "new capital." New capital is defined as amounts received in
exchange for the issuance of stock (other than amounts received pursuant to a
dividend reinvestment plan) or a public offering of debt obligations which have
a maturity of at least five years. The Company will invest funds not otherwise
invested in properties in cash sources, GNMA certificates, REMIC interests,
"new capital" investments or other liquid investments which will allow the
Company to qualify under the 75% Test.
Income attributable to a lease of real property will generally qualify as
"rent from real property" under the 75% Test (and the 95% Test described below)
subject to the rules discussed below:
(i) Rent from a particular tenant will not qualify if the Company,
or an owner of 10% or more of the stock of the Company, directly or
indirectly owns 10% or more of the stock, assets or net profits of the
tenant.
(ii) The portion of rent attributable to personal property rented
with real property will not qualify unless the portion attributable to
personal property is 15% or less of the total rent received under the
lease.
(iii) Rent will not qualify if it is based in whole, or in part, on
the income or profits of any person. However, rent will not fail to
qualify if it is based on a fixed percentage (or designated varying
percentages) of receipts or sales, including amounts above a base amount
so long as the base amount is fixed at the time the lease is entered
into, the provisions are in accordance with normal business practice and
the arrangement is not an indirect method for basing rent on income or
profits.
(iv) Rental income will not qualify if the Company furnishes or
renders services to tenants, other than through an "independent
contractor" from whom the Company derives no revenue. The "independent
contractor" requirement, however, does not apply to the extent that the
services provided by the Company are "usually or customarily rendered"
in connection with the rental of space, and are not otherwise considered
"rendered to the occupant."
The Company represents that it will not directly or indirectly own 10% or
more of any tenant that leases space in the properties. The Company will not
charge rent that is based on the income or profits of any person in certain
properties.
Tenants will receive certain services in connection with their leases to
the properties. The Company believes that the services to be provided are
usually or customarily rendered in connection with
108
<PAGE> 119
the rental of space, and therefore the provision of these services will not
cause the rents received with respect to the properties to fail to qualify as
rents from real property for purposes of the 75% and 95% Tests. The Board
intends to hire "independent contractors" to render services which it believes
are not "usually or customarily rendered" in connection with the rental of
space, including physical development or redevelopment activities.
2. The 95% Gross Income Test (the "95% Test"). In addition to deriving
75% of its gross income from the sources listed above, at least 95% of the
Company's gross income for the taxable year must be derived from the
above-described qualifying income, or from dividends, interest or gains from
the sale or disposition of stock or other securities that are not Dealer
Property (as defined below). Dividends and interest on obligations not
collateralized by an interest in real property qualify under the 95% Test, but
not under the 75% Test. The Company will invest funds not otherwise invested
in properties in cash sources, GNMA certificates, REMIC interests, "new
capital" investments or other liquid investments which will allow the Company
to qualify under the 95% Test. For purposes of determining whether the Company
complies with the 75% and 95% Tests, gross income does not include income from
prohibited transactions.
The Company's share of income from the properties will primarily give rise
to rental income qualifying under the 75% and 95% Tests, and gains on sales of
the properties, substantially all of which will generally qualify under the 75%
and 95% Tests. The Company's anticipated operating results indicate that it is
unlikely that the Company will have sufficient, if any, non-qualifying income
to cause adverse consequences.
If the Company fails to satisfy either the 75% or 95% Tests for any
taxable year, it may retain its status as a REIT for such year if the failure
was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, the Company
attached to its return a schedule of the sources of its income, and any
incorrect information on the schedules was not due to fraud. If this relief
provision was available, the Company would remain subject to tax with respect
to the excess net income.
3. The 30% Test. The Company must derive less than 30% of its gross income
for each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of: (i) real property
held for less than four years (other than foreclosure property and involuntary
conversions); (ii) stock or securities held for less than one year; and (iii)
property in a prohibited transaction. The Company currently intends to hold the
properties for more than four years and not to own any property that will cause
a prohibited transaction and will structure its activities to comply with this
test. In addition, the Company will invest amounts not invested in properties
in investments that will allow it to comply with this test, and therefore may
maintain increased cash reserves or make relatively low earning liquid
investments in order to prevent violations of this test.
D. Annual Distribution Requirements (the "Distribution Test"). In
addition to the other tests described above, the Company is required to
distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to the Stockholders
each year in an amount at least equal to the difference between: (i) the sum
of: (a) 95% of the Company's REIT taxable income (computed without regard to
the dividends paid deduction and the REIT's net capital gain); and (b) 95% of
the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property; and (ii) the sum
of certain items of non-cash income. Whether sufficient amounts have been
distributed is based on amounts paid in the taxable year to which they relate,
or in the following taxable year if the Company files an election before it
timely files its tax return for such year and if paid on or before the first
regular Distribution payment after such declaration. If the Company fails to
meet the Distribution
109
<PAGE> 120
Test as a result of an adjustment to the Company's tax return by the Service,
the Company may cure the failure by paying a "deficiency dividend" (plus
penalties and interest to the Service) within a specified period. To the extent
that the Company does not distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes
at least 95%, but less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, as adjusted, it
will be subject to tax on the undistributed portion.
The Company intends to pay sufficient dividends each year to satisfy the
Distribution Test. See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Distributions."
It is possible that the Company may not have sufficient cash or other liquid
assets to meet the Distribution Test due to tax accounting rules and other
timing differences. The Company will closely monitor the relationship between
its REIT taxable income and cash flow and, if necessary to comply with the
Distribution Test, will borrow funds to provide cash flow needed to satisfy the
distribution requirement.
Failure to Qualify. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a
REIT in any taxable year and the relief provisions are not available or cannot
be met, the Company will not be able to deduct its dividends and will be
subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates, thereby reducing cash available for
Distributions. In such event, all Distributions to Stockholders (to the extent
of current and accumulated earnings and profits), will be taxable as ordinary
income. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the
Company will not be eligible to elect REIT status for the four taxable years
following the year during which qualification was lost.
Prohibited Transactions. As discussed above, the Company will be subject
to a 100% tax on any net income from "prohibited transactions". Net income from
a prohibited transaction arises from the sale or exchange of property held for
sale to customers in the ordinary course of its trade or business ("Dealer
Property") unless such property is foreclosure property. In addition, there is
an exception for certain sales of Dealer Property so long as the property sold:
(i) is a real estate asset under the 75% Asset Test; (ii) has been held for at
least four years; (iii) has capitalized expenditures not in excess of 30% of the
net sales price; (iv) was held for production of rental income for at least four
years; and (v) when combined with other sales in the year, does not cause the
REIT to have made more than seven sales of Dealer Property during the taxable
year. Although the Company will eventually sell each of the properties, its
primary intention in acquiring and operating the properties is the production of
rental income and it does not expect to hold any property for sale to customers
in the ordinary course of its trade or business.
TAXATION OF STOCKHOLDERS
Taxation of Taxable Domestic Stockholders. As long as the Company
qualifies as a REIT, Distributions paid to the Company's taxable domestic
Stockholders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not
designated as capital gain dividends) will be ordinary dividend income.
Dividend income is characterized as "portfolio" income under the passive loss
rules and cannot be offset by a Stockholder's current or suspended passive
losses. Corporate Stockholders cannot claim the dividends received deduction
for such dividends unless the Company loses its REIT status. Distributions
that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term
capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed the Company's actual net
capital gain for the taxable year). However, corporate Stockholders may be
required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary
income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and
profits are treated first as a tax-deferred return of capital to the
Stockholder, reducing the Stockholder's tax basis in its Shares by the amount
of such distribution. Because earnings and profits are reduced for
depreciation and other non-cash items, it is possible that a
110
<PAGE> 121
portion of each Distribution will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital.
Distributions in excess of the Stockholder's tax basis are taxable as capital
gains. Although Stockholders generally recognize taxable income in the year that
a Distribution is received, any Distribution declared by the Company in October,
November or December of any year and payable to a Stockholder of record on a
specific date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by the Company and
received by the Stockholder on December 31 of the year it was declared even if
paid by the Company during January of the following calendar year. Because the
Company is not a pass-through entity for tax purposes, Stockholders may not use
any operating or capital losses of the Company to reduce their tax liabilities.
In general, the sale of Shares held for more than 12 months will produce
long-term capital gain or loss, while all other sales will produce short-term
gain or loss, in each case with the gain or loss equal to the difference between
the amount of cash received form the sale and the Stockholder's basis in the
Shares sold. However, any loss from a sale or exchange of Shares by a
Stockholder who has held such stock for six months or less (after applying
certain holding period rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to
the extent of distributions from the Company that the Stockholder treated as
long-term capital gains. In addition, please note that Distributions in excess
of earnings and profits that reduce a Stockholder's basis will tend to increase
the gain or sale.
Backup Withholding. The Company will report to its domestic Stockholders
and to the Service the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and
the amount (if any) of tax it withheld. A Stockholder may be subject to backup
withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to dividends paid unless such
Stockholder: (a) is a corporation or comes within other exempt categories; or
(b) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of
exemption, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements. A Stockholder
that does not provide the Company with its correct taxpayer identification
number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the Service. Any amount
paid as backup withholding can be credited against the Stockholder's income tax
liability. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold a portion of
capital gain distributions made to any Stockholders who fail to certify their
non-foreign status to the Company. See "--Taxation of Foreign Stockholders" in
this Section.
Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders. Distributions by the Company to a
Stockholder that is a tax-exempt entity should not constitute UBTI unless the
tax-exempt entity borrows funds to acquire its Shares (or otherwise incurs
acquisition indebtedness within the meaning of the Code with respect to its
acquisition of the Shares), or the Shares are otherwise used in an unrelated
trade or business of the tax-exempt entity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company constitutes a "Pension-Held
REIT", certain Qualified Plans that are Stockholders could recognize UBTI even
without incurring debt to acquire their Shares. The Company will constitute a
Pension-Held REIT if either: (i) at least one Qualified Plan holds more than
25% (by value) of the Shares; or (ii) one or more Qualified Plans (each of
which owns more than 10% by value of the Shares) hold an aggregate of more than
50% (by value) of the Shares. If the Company constitutes a Pension-Held REIT,
then a portion of the dividends received by any Qualified Plan that holds 10%
or more of the Shares will constitute UBTI based on the ratio of the Company's
gross income (less allowable deductions) which is considered UBTI itself, bears
to the Company's total gross income (less allowable deductions).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Ownership Limit contained in the Articles
should prevent the Company from unintentionally constituting a Pension-Held
REIT because no Stockholder, whether a Qualified Plan or otherwise, is
permitted to own more than 9.8% (by value) of the Shares without requesting and
obtaining prior Board approval.
111
<PAGE> 122
Taxation of Foreign Stockholders. The following discussion is intended
only as a summary of the rules governing income taxation of non-resident alien
individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and foreign trusts and
estates (collectively, "Foreign Stockholders"). Prospective Foreign
Stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact
of federal, state, and local income tax laws on an investment in the Company,
including any reporting requirements.
In general, Foreign Stockholders will be subject to regular U.S. income
tax with respect to their investment in the Company if the investment is
"effectively connected" with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. A
corporate Foreign Stockholder that receives income that is treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to the
"branch profits tax" under Code Section 884. The following discussion applies
to Foreign Stockholders whose investment in the Company is not considered
"effectively connected."
Generally, any dividend that constitutes ordinary income for tax purposes
will be subject to a U.S. tax equal to the lesser of 30% of the dividend or the
rate in an applicable tax treaty. A Distribution in excess of the Company's
earnings and profits is treated first as a return of capital that will reduce a
Foreign Stockholder's basis in its Shares (but not below zero) and then as gain
from the disposition of such Shares, subject to the rules discussed below for
dispositions.
Distributions by the Company that are attributable to gain from the sale
or exchange of a U.S. real property interest are taxed to a Foreign Stockholder
as if the Distributions were gains "effectively connected" with a United States
trade or business. Accordingly, a Foreign Stockholder will be taxed at the
capital gain rates applicable to a U.S. stockholder (subject to any applicable
alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of
non-resident alien individuals). In addition, such dividends may also be
subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a corporate Foreign
Stockholder that is not entitled to treaty exemptions.
Although tax treaties may reduce the Company's withholding obligations,
the Company will generally be required to withhold from dividends to Foreign
Stockholders, and remit to the Service, 34% of designated capital gain
dividends and 30% of ordinary dividends paid out of earnings and profits. In
addition, if the Company designates prior dividends as capital gain dividends,
subsequent dividends, up to the amount of such prior dividends, will be treated
as capital gain dividends for purposes of withholding. If the amount of tax
withheld by the Company with respect to a distribution to a Foreign Stockholder
exceeds its U.S. tax liability with respect to such distribution, the Foreign
Stockholder may file for a refund of such excess from the Service. The 34%
withholding tax rate on capital gain dividends currently corresponds to the
maximum income tax rate applicable to corporations, but is higher than the 28%
maximum rate on capital gains of individuals.
Unless the Shares constitute a U.S. real property interest under Code
Section 897, a sale of Shares by a Foreign Stockholder generally will not be
subject to U.S. income taxation. The Shares will not constitute a U.S. real
property interest if the Company is a "domestically controlled REIT." A
domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which at all times during a specified
testing period less than 50% in value of its shares is held directly or
indirectly by Foreign Stockholders. It is currently anticipated that the
Company will be a domestically controlled REIT, and therefore that the sale of
Shares will not be subject to such taxation. However, because the Shares may
be publicly traded, no assurance can be given that the Company will continue to
be a domestically controlled REIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital gain
not subject to such rules will be taxable to a Foreign Stockholder if the
Foreign Stockholder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the
U.S. for 183 days or more during the
112
<PAGE> 123
taxable year and certain other conditions apply, in which case the non-resident
alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on his or her U.S. source capital
gains. If the Company did not constitute a domestically-controlled REIT,
whether a Foreign Stockholder's sale of stock would be subject to tax as a sale
of a U.S. real property interest would depend on whether the Shares were
"regularly traded" on an established securities market and on the size of the
selling Stockholder's interest in the Company. If the gain on the sale of Shares
was subject to taxation under these rules, the Foreign Stockholder would be
subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Stockholder with respect to the gain
(subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum
tax in the case of non-resident alien individuals). In addition, Distributions
that are treated as gain from the disposition of stock and are subject to tax
under Code Section 897 may also be subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made
to a foreign corporate stockholder that is not entitled to treaty exemptions.
In any event, a purchaser of Shares from a Foreign Stockholder will not be
required to withhold on the purchase price if the purchased shares are
"regularly traded" on an established securities market or if the Company is a
domestically-controlled REIT. Otherwise, the purchaser of stock may be required
to withhold 10% of the purchase price and remit this amount to the Service.
If the proceeds of a disposition of Shares are paid by or through a U.S.
office of a broker-dealer, the payment is subject to information reporting and
to backup withholding unless the disposing Foreign Stockholder certifies as to
his name, address and non-U.S. status or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Generally, U.S. information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to
a payment of disposition proceeds if the payment is made outside the U.S.
through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker-dealer. U.S. information
reporting requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply, however, to a
payment of disposition proceeds outside the U.S. if (i) the payment is made
through an office outside the U.S. of a broker-dealer that is either (a) a U.S.
person, (b) a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income for
certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. or (c) a
"controlled foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii)
the broker-dealer fails to initiate documentary evidence that the Stockholder
is a Foreign Stockholder and that certain conditions are met or that the
Foreign Stockholder otherwise is entitled to an exemption.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Distribution Reinvestment Program. Stockholders who purchase Shares in
the Offering and participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Program will
recognize taxable dividend income in the amount they would have received had
they not elected to participate, even though they receive no cash. These
deemed dividends will be treated as actual dividends from the Company to the
participating Stockholders and will retain the character and tax effects
applicable to all dividends. See "--Taxation of Stockholders" in this Section.
Capital Stock received under the program will have a holding period beginning
with the day after purchase, and a tax basis equal to their cost, which is the
gross amount of the deemed Distribution.
State and Local Taxes. The Company and its Stockholders may be subject to
state or local taxation in various jurisdictions, including those in which it
or they transact business or reside. The state and local tax treatment of the
Company and its Stockholders may not conform to the federal income tax
consequences discussed above. Consequently, prospective Stockholders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws
on a investment in the Shares of the Company.
113
<PAGE> 124
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of material considerations arising under ERISA
and the prohibited transaction provisions of Code Section 4975 that may be
relevant to a prospective purchaser. This discussion does not deal with all
aspects of ERISA or Code Section 4975 or, to the extent not preempted, state
law that may be relevant to particular employee benefit plan Stockholders
(including plans subject to Title I of ERISA, other employee benefit plans and
IRAs subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of Code Section 4975, and
governmental plans and church plans that are exempt from ERISA and Code Section
4975 but that may be subject to state law requirements) in light of their
particular circumstances.
In considering whether to invest a portion of the assets of a pension,
profit-sharing, retirement or other employee benefit plan ("Plan"), fiduciaries
of the Plan should consider, among other things whether the investment: (i)
will be in accordance with the documents and instruments covering the
investments by such Plan; (ii) will allow the Plan to satisfy the
diversification requirements of ERISA, if applicable; (iii) will result in UBTI
to the Plan (see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of
Stockholders--Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders"); (iv) will provide
sufficient liquidity; and (v) is prudent under the general ERISA standards. In
addition to imposing general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and
diversification, ERISA and the corresponding provisions of the Code
prohibit a wide range of transactions involving the assets of the Plan and
persons who have certain specified relationships to the Plan ("parties in
interest" within the meaning of ERISA, "disqualified persons" within the
meaning of the Code). Thus, a designated Plan fiduciary considering an
investment in the Shares should also consider whether the acquisition or the
continued holding of the Shares might constitute or give rise to a direct or
indirect prohibited transaction.
The fiduciary of an IRA or of an employee benefit plan not subject to
Title I of ERISA because it is a governmental or church plan or because it does
not cover common law employees (a "Non-ERISA Plan") should consider that such
an IRA or Non-ERISA Plan may only make investments that are authorized by the
appropriate governing documents, not prohibited under Code Section 4975 and
permitted under applicable state law.
The Department of Labor (the "DOL") has issued final regulations (the "DOL
Regulations") which provide guidance on the definition of Plan assets under
ERISA. Under the DOL Regulations, if a Plan acquires an equity interest in an
entity, which is neither a "publicly-offered security" nor a security issued by
an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, the Plan's assets would include, for ERISA purposes, both the equity
interest and an undivided interest in each of the entity's underlying assets
unless certain specified exceptions apply. The DOL Regulations define a
publicly-offered security as a security that is "widely-held",
"freely-transferable," and either part of a class of securities registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act (provided
the securities are registered under the Exchange Act within 190 days after the
end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering occurred). The
Shares are being sold in an offering registered under the Act and will be
registered under the Exchange Act.
The DOL Regulations provide that a security is "widely-held" only if it is
part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors
independent of the issuer and of one another. A security will not fail to be
"widely-held" because the number of independent investors falls below 100
subsequent to the initial offering as a result of events beyond the issuer's
control. The Company expects the Shares to be "widely-held" upon the
completion of the Offering.
114
<PAGE> 125
The DOL Regulations provide that whether a security is
"freely-transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of
all relevant facts and circumstances. The DOL Regulations further provide that
when a security is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is
$10,000 or less, as is the case with this Offering, certain restrictions
ordinarily will not, alone or in combination, affect the finding that such
securities are freely-transferable. One type of restriction that will not
affect a finding that securities are freely transferable is a restriction or
prohibition against a transfer or assignment which would result in a
termination or reclassification of an entity for federal or state income tax
purposes. The Company believes that the Ownership Limit imposed under the
Articles on the transfer of the Shares are designed to prevent violations of
the five-or-fewer rule (which would cause a termination of REIT status for tax
purposes) or which are otherwise permitted under the DOL Regulations and,
therefore, will not cause the Shares to not be "freely-transferable." The DOL
Regulations are interpretive in nature and, therefore, no assurance can be
given that the DOL and the United States Department of the Treasury will not
conclude that the Shares are not freely-transferable.
Assuming that the Shares will be "widely-held," the Company believes that
the Shares will be "publicly offered securities" for purposes of the
Regulations and that the assets of the Company will not be deemed to be "plan
assets" of any Plan that invests in the Shares.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
The total number of Shares of stock which the Company has authorized is
30,000,000 of which 24,000,000 shares are common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), and 6,000,000 shares are preferred stock, $.01 par
value per share (the "Preferred Stock"). The Shares of Common Stock offered
hereby will be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable.
Stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for
securities of the Company, and the Common Stock is not convertible or subject
to redemption at the option of the Company. The Common Stock is entitled to
one vote per share and Shares do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to
the rights of the holders of any class of capital stock of the Company having
any preference or priority over the Common Stock, the Stockholders are entitled
to Distributions in such amounts as may be declared by the Board from time to
time out of funds legally available for such payments and, in the event of
liquidation, to share ratably in any assets of the Company remaining after
payment in full of all creditors and provisions for any liquidation preferences
on any outstanding Preferred Stock.
The Company may, at the discretion of the Board, authorize the listing,
issuance and sale of Shares on a national securities exchange or market. It is
not the present intention of the Company to list the Shares prior to the
termination of this Offering. However, the Company anticipates that by 1999 it
will apply to have the Shares listed, provided the Company meets the applicable
listing requirements and the Board determines such action to be in the best
interests of the Company.
Generally, the Directors, without further action by the Stockholders, are
authorized to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more
series and to determine and fix, as to any series, all the relative rights and
preferences of shares including, without limitation, preferences, limitations or
relative rights with respect to redemption rights, conversion rights, if any,
voting rights, if any, dividend rights and preferences on liquidation.
115
<PAGE> 126
It is the current intention of the Company to issue only the Shares and
Soliciting Dealer Warrants as described below, although it may from time to
time issue other securities through public offerings or private placements.
The Company may also issue shares of either Common Stock or Preferred Stock in
whole or partial payment for a property if, in the judgment of the Board, such
a transaction would be advantageous to the Company.
All Shares are fully transferable, subject only to restrictions which
would cause loss of REIT status. See "--Restrictions on Transfer" in this
Section. However, each person acquiring Shares must notify the Company of any
such transfer and provide his name, address, taxpayer identification number,
number of Shares acquired, Service Form W-9 and the name of the transferor
Stockholder prior to any Share transfer being recorded on the books and records
of the Company. Additionally, the transferee Stockholder must present the
stock certificate representing such Shares or an affidavit of lost certificate.
Such properly executed documentation must be presented one calendar month
prior to the last date of the current quarter to be effective as of the first
day of the next quarter. Failure to provide such information could result in a
transfer not being recognized by the Company on a timely basis.
SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS
The Company has agreed, for the sum of $200, to issue warrants to the
Dealer Manager to purchase Shares in the Company equal to 2.5% of the number of
Shares sold by the Dealer Manager (and/or the Soliciting Dealers). These
warrants (the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants") will be issued on a quarterly basis
commencing 60 days after the date on which the Shares are first sold pursuant
to the Offering. The Dealer Manager may retain or reallow all Soliciting
Dealer Warrants to the Soliciting Dealers, unless such issuance of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrants is prohibited by either federal or state securities
laws. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants which were to be but have not been issued
to the Dealer Manager in connection with the Prior Offering and the Soliciting
Dealer Warrants to be issued in connection with this Offering, as well as the
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, are being
registered as part of this Offering.
Each Soliciting Dealer will receive from the Dealer Manager one Soliciting
Dealer Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by such Soliciting Dealer during this
Offering. All Shares sold by the Company other than through the Distribution
Reinvestment Program will be included in the computation of the number of
Shares sold to determine the number of Soliciting Dealer Warrants to be issued.
The holder of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase one
Share from the Company at a price of $12 (120% of the public offering price per
Share) during the time period beginning from the date the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants are issued and ending upon October 13, 2000 (the "Exercise Period").
A Soliciting Dealer Warrant may not be exercised unless the Shares to be issued
upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant have been registered or are
exempt from registration in the state of residence of the holder of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant or if a prospectus required under the laws of such
state cannot be delivered to the buyer on behalf of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be
exercisable until one year from the date of issuance. In addition, holders of
Soliciting Dealer Warrants may not exercise the Soliciting Dealer Warrants to
the extent such exercise would jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT under
the Code.
The terms of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, including the exercise price
and the number and type of securities issuable upon exercise of a Soliciting
Dealer Warrant and the number of such Warrants may be adjusted in the event of
stock dividends, certain subdivisions, combinations and reclassification of
Shares or the issuance to Stockholders of rights, options or warrants entitling
them to purchase Shares or securities convertible into Shares. The terms of
the Soliciting Dealer Warrants also may be adjusted if
116
<PAGE> 127
the Company engages in certain merger or consolidation transactions or
if all or substantially all of the Company's assets are sold. Soliciting
Dealer Warrants are not transferable or assignable except by the Dealer
Manager, the Soliciting Dealers, their successors in interest, or to
individuals who are both officers and directors of such a person. Exercise of
these Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be under the terms and conditions
detailed in this Prospectus and in the Warrant Purchase Agreement, which is an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.
As holders of Soliciting Dealer Warrants, persons do not have the rights
of Stockholders, may not vote on Company matters and are not entitled to
receive Distributions.
ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES AND DEBT INSTRUMENTS
The Directors are authorized to issue additional shares or convertible
securities for cash, property or other consideration on such terms as they may
deem advisable and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of capital
stock of the Company without approval of the holders of such outstanding
securities. The Directors may cause the Company to issue debt obligations with
conversion privileges on more than one class of capital stock. The Directors
may issue debt obligations with conversion privileges on such terms and
conditions as the Directors may determine whereby the holders thereof may
acquire Shares. Subject to certain restrictions, the Directors may also cause
the Company to issue warrants, options and rights to buy Shares on such terms
as they deem advisable (notwithstanding the possible dilution in the value of
the outstanding Shares which may result from the exercise of such warrants,
options or rights to buy Shares) as part of a ratable issue to Stockholders, as
part of a public or private offering or as part of a financial arrangement with
parties other than the Advisor or Directors, officers or employees of the
Company or the Advisor.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, Shares must be
beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable
year of 12 months (other than the first year) or during a proportionate part of
a shorter taxable year. Further, not more than 50% of the value of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly,
by five or fewer individuals during the last half of a taxable year (other than
the first year) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year.
Since the Board believes it is essential for the Company to continue to
qualify as a REIT, the Articles provide that no person may own, or be deemed to
own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (the
"Ownership Limit") of the number or value of any class of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Company. The Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from
the Service, an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to
the Directors and upon other conditions as the Directors may direct, may also
exempt a proposed transferee from the Ownership Limit. As a condition of this
exemption, the intended transferee must give written notice to the Company of
the proposed transfer no later than 15 days prior to any transfer which, if
effected, would result in the intended transferee owning shares in excess of
the Ownership Limit. The Directors may require 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 REIT. Any transfer of
Shares that would: (i) create a direct or indirect ownership
117
<PAGE> 128
of Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit; (ii) result in the Shares
being owned by fewer than 100 persons; or (iii) result in the Company being
"closely-held" within the meaning of Code Section 856(b), shall be null and
void, and the intended transferee will acquire no right to the Shares. The
foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if the
Directors determine that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company
to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT.
Any purported transfer of Shares that would result in a person owning
Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit or cause the Company to become
"closely-held" under Code Section 856(b) that is not otherwise permitted as
provided above will constitute excess shares ("Excess Shares"). Upon the
Company determining the existence of Excess Shares, it shall make a demand upon
such Stockholders to sell such Excess Shares. Within 30 days after the Company
requests such holder to sell such Excess Shares, the Excess Shares shall be
deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a
price per Share equal to the lesser of: (a) the price per Share in the
transaction that created such Excess Shares (or, in the case of a devise or
gift, the market price at the time of such devise or gift); and (b) the market
price of the equity shares to which such Excess Shares relates on the date the
Company, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Company shall have the right
to accept such offer for a period of 30 days after the later of: (i) the date
of Transfer which resulted in such Excess Shares; and (ii) the date the Board
determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Shares has
occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to
the terms of the Articles but in no event later than a permitted Transfer
pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of the Articles. If the Company
accepts such offer, it shall be required to pay the full purchase price for
such Shares within such 30 day period.
All persons who own, directly or by virtue of the attribution provisions
of the Code, more than 9.8% (or such other percentage between 1/2 of 1% and 5%,
as provided in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Code) of the
number or value of the outstanding Shares must give the Company written notice
by January 31st of each year. In addition, each Stockholder shall, upon
demand, be required to disclose to the Company in writing all information
regarding the direct, indirect and constructive ownership of Shares as the
Directors deem reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code
applicable to a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority
or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.
These ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a
takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the
Shares might receive a premium for their Shares over the then prevailing market
price or a price which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best
interest.
SUMMARY OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS
Each Stockholder shall be bound by and deemed to have agreed to the terms
of the Organizational Documents by his, her or its election to become a
Stockholder. The Organizational Documents, consisting of the Articles and
Bylaws, were reviewed and ratified by a majority of the Directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) at the first meeting of such Directors.
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Organizational
Documents and does not purport to be complete. This summary is qualified in
its entirety by specific reference to the Organizational Documents filed as
Exhibits to the Company's Registration Statement.
118
<PAGE> 129
CERTAIN ARTICLE AND BYLAW PROVISIONS
Stockholders' rights and related matters are governed by the Maryland
General Corporation Law ("MGCL"), the Articles and Bylaws. Certain provisions
of the Articles and Bylaws, which are summarized below, may make it more
difficult to change the composition of the Board and may discourage or make
more difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of the
Company.
STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS
An annual meeting of the Stockholders will be held not less than 30 days
after the delivery of the Company's annual report, but within six months after
the end of each fiscal year, for the purpose of electing Directors and for the
transaction of such other business as may become before the meeting. A special
meeting of the Stockholders may be called by the chief executive officer, a
majority of the Directors or a majority of the Independent Directors, and shall
be called by an officer of the Company upon written request of the Stockholders
holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of the outstanding Shares. Upon
receipt of a written request, either in person or by mail, stating the
purpose(s) of the meeting, the Company shall provide all Stockholders, within
ten days after receipt of said request, written notice, either in person or by
mail, of a meeting and the purpose of such meeting to be held on a date not
less than 15 nor more than 60 days after the distribution of such notice, at a
time and place specified in the request, or if none is specified, at a time and
place convenient to the Stockholders. At any meeting of the Stockholders, each
Stockholder is entitled to one vote for each Share owned of record on the
applicable record date. In general, the presence in person or by proxy of a
majority of the outstanding Shares shall constitute a quorum, and the majority
vote of the Stockholders will be binding on all Stockholders of the Company.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Articles and Bylaws provide that the number of directors of the
Company may not be fewer than three nor more than nine, a majority of which
will be independent. This provision may only be amended by a vote of a
majority of the Board. A vacancy in the Board caused by the death, resignation
or incapacity of a Director or by an increase in the number of Directors
(within the limits described above) may be filled by the vote of a majority of
the remaining Directors. With respect to a vacancy created by the death,
resignation or incapacity of an Independent Director, the remaining Independent
Directors shall nominate a replacement. Vacancies occurring as a result of the
removal of a Director by Stockholders shall be filled by a majority vote of the
Stockholders. Any Director may resign at any time and may be removed with or
without cause by the Stockholders owning at least a majority of the outstanding
Shares.
A Director shall have had at least three years of relevant experience
demonstrating the knowledge and experience required to successfully acquire and
manage the type of assets being acquired by the Company. At least one of the
Independent Directors shall have three years of relevant real estate
experience.
STOCKHOLDER VOTING RIGHTS
Except as otherwise provided, all Shares shall have equal voting rights.
Stockholders are entitled to vote by written consent and do not have cumulative
voting rights. The voting rights per share of equity securities of the Company
(other than the Shares) sold in a private offering shall not exceed voting
rights
119
<PAGE> 130
which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of the Shares of
the Company as the consideration paid to the Company for each privately offered
Company share bears to the book value of each Share.
All elections for Directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a
majority of votes cast at a meeting or without a meeting, provided that a
quorum is present (defined as a majority of the aggregate number of votes
entitled to be cast thereon). Any or all Directors may be removed, with or
without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of
the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting. All
other questions shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting.
If no meeting is held, 100% of the Stockholders must consent in writing.
Without concurrence of a majority of the outstanding Shares, the Directors
may not: (a) amend the Articles, except for amendments which do not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Stockholders, including
amendments to provisions relating to Director qualifications, fiduciary duty,
liability and indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or
investment restrictions; (b) sell all or substantially all of the
Company's assets other than in the ordinary course of the Company's business or
in connection with liquidation and dissolution; (c) cause a merger or other
reorganization of the Company; or (d) dissolve or liquidate the Company, other
than before the initial investment in a property by the Company. For purposes
of the above provision, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets shall mean the sale of two-thirds or more of the Company's assets based
on the total number of properties or the current fair market value of these
assets.
With respect to Shares owned by the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or
any Affiliate, neither the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors, nor any
Affiliate may vote or consent on matters submitted to the Stockholders
regarding the removal of the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or any
Affiliate or any transaction between the Company and any of them. In
determining the requisite percentage and interest of Shares necessary to
approve a matter on which the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors and any
Affiliate may not vote or consent, any Shares owned by them shall not be
included.
Each Stockholder entitled to vote may do so: (i) at a meeting in person,
by written proxy or by a signed writing or consent directing the manner in
which he or she desires that his or her vote be cast (which must be received by
the Directors prior to such meeting); or (ii) without a meeting by a signed
writing or consent directing the manner in which he or she desires that his or
her vote be cast (which must be received by the Directors prior to the date the
votes of the Stockholders are to be counted).
STOCKHOLDER LISTS; INSPECTION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS
An alphabetical list of names, record addresses and business telephone
numbers (if any) of all Stockholders with the number of Shares held by each,
shall be maintained as part of the books and records of the Company at the
Company's principal office. Such list shall be updated at least quarterly and
shall be open for inspection by a Stockholder or his designated agent upon such
Stockholder's request. Such list shall also be mailed to any Stockholder
requesting the list within ten days of receipt of a request. The Company may
impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproducing such list and
may require the Stockholder requesting such Stockholder's list to represent
that the list is requested with respect to matters relating to Stockholders'
voting rights under the Articles and the exercise of Stockholders' rights under
federal proxy laws.
Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof shall be
permitted access to all records of the Company at all reasonable times and may
inspect and copy any of them. In addition, the books
120
<PAGE> 131
and records of the Company shall be open for inspection by state
securities administrators upon reasonable notice and during normal business
hours at the principal place of business of the Company.
AMENDMENT OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS
The Articles may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
then outstanding Shares, without the necessity for concurrence by the
Directors. Unless otherwise stated in the Articles, the Bylaws
may be amended in a manner not inconsistent with the Articles by a majority
vote of the Directors, except that an amendment of any matter which requires
greater than a majority vote of the Directors must be amended by the requisite
vote and no Bylaw adopted by the Stockholders may be amended by the Directors
if the provision of such Bylaw provides that it may not be amended without a
Stockholder vote.
DISSOLUTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company is an infinite-life REIT which may be dissolved pursuant to
the procedures set forth in the MGCL at any time by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Stockholders. However, the Company anticipates that, by 1999,
the Board of Directors will determine whether it is in the best interests of
the Company to: (i) apply to have the Shares listed for trading on a national
stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system, provided
the Company meets the then applicable listing requirements; and/or
(ii) commence a subsequent public offering after completion of this Offering.
If listing of the Shares is not feasible by 1999, the Board may decide to:
(i) sell the Company's assets individually; (ii) list the Shares at a future
date to provide liquidity for Stockholders; or (iii) liquidate the Company
within ten years of the date thereof.
ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS
The Bylaws provide that: (a) with respect to an annual meeting of
Stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal
of business to be considered by Stockholders may be made only: (i) pursuant to
the Company's notice of the meeting; (ii) by the Board; or (iii) by a
Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the
advance notice procedures set forth in the Bylaws; and (b) with respect to
special meetings of Stockholders, only the business specified in the Company's
notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting of Stockholders, and
nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made only: (i)
pursuant to the Company's notice of the meeting; (ii) by the Board; or (iii)
provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such
meeting, by a Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has
complied with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Bylaws.
RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN CONVERSION TRANSACTIONS AND ROLL-UPS
The Articles require that 66 2/3% in interest of the Stockholders and all
the Independent Directors approve certain exchange offers, mergers,
consolidations or similar transactions involving the Company in which the
Stockholders receive securities in a surviving entity having a substantially
longer duration or materially different investment objectives and policies, or
that provides significantly greater compensation to management from that which
is described in this Prospectus, except for any such transaction effected
because of changes in applicable law, or to preserve tax advantages for a
majority in interest of the Stockholders. In should be noted that standards
such as "substantially longer life," "materially different investment objectives
and policies" or "provides significantly greater compensation
121
<PAGE> 132
to management" are not defined and are by their nature potentially
ambiguous. Any ambiguities will be resolved by the Directors.
In connection with a proposed Roll-Up, as defined below, an appraisal of
all of the Company's assets shall be obtained from a person with no current or
prior business or personal relationship with the Advisor or the Directors and
who is engaged, to a substantial extent, in the business of rendering opinions
regarding the value of assets of the type held by the Company (an "Independent
Expert"). The appraisal will be included in a prospectus used to offer the
securities of a Roll-Up Entity, as defined below, and shall be filed with the
Commission and the state regulatory commissions as an exhibit to the
registration statement for the offering. Accordingly, an issuer using the
appraisal shall be subject to liability for violation of Section 11 of the Act
and comparable provisions under state laws for any material misrepresentations
or material omissions in the appraisal. The Company's assets shall be
appraised in a consistent manner. The appraisal shall be based on an
evaluation of all relevant information, and shall indicate the value of the
Company's assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the
proposed Roll-Up transaction. The appraisal shall assume an orderly
liquidation of the Company's assets over a 12-month period. The terms of the
engagement of the Independent Expert shall clearly state that the engagement is
for the benefit of the Company and its Stockholders. A summary of the
independent appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the
appraisal, shall be included in a report to the Stockholders in connection with
a proposed Roll-Up. A Roll-Up is a transaction involving the acquisition,
merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of the
Company and the issuance of securities of a Roll-Up Entity, as defined below.
A Roll-Up does not include: (i) a transaction involving securities of the
Company that have been for at least 12 months listed on a national securities
exchange or traded through the Nasdaq National Market; or (ii) a transaction
involving the conversion to corporate, trust or association form of only the
Company if, as a consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant
adverse change in any of the following: (a) Stockholders' voting rights; (b)
the term and existence of the Company; (c) Sponsor or Advisor compensation; or
(d) the Company's investment objectives. A Roll-Up Entity is a partnership,
real estate investment trust, corporation, trust or other entity that would be
created or would survive after the successful completion of a proposed Roll-Up.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not participate in any
proposed Roll-Up which would:
(i) result in the Stockholders having rights to meetings less
frequently or which are more restrictive to Stockholders than those
provided in the Articles;
(ii) result in the Stockholders having voting rights that are less
than those provided in the Articles;
(iii) result in the Stockholders having greater liability than as
provided in the Articles;
(iv) result in the Stockholders having rights to receive reports
that are less than those provided in the Articles;
(v) result in the Stockholders having access to records that are
more limited than those provided in the Articles;
(vi) include provisions which would operate to materially impede
or frustrate the accumulation of Shares by any purchaser of the
securities of the Roll-Up Entity
122
<PAGE> 133
(except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax
status of the Roll-Up Entity);
(vii) limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights
of its securities in the Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the
number of the Shares held by that investor;
(viii) result in investors in the Roll-Up Entity having rights of access
to the records of the Roll-Up Entity that are less than those
provided in the Articles; or
(ix) place any of the costs of the transaction on the Company if
the Roll-Up is not approved by the Stockholders;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
participation in any proposed Roll-Up which would result in Stockholders having
rights and restrictions comparable to those contained in the Articles, with the
prior approval of a majority of the Stockholders.
Stockholders who vote "no" on the proposed Roll-Up shall have the choice of:
(i) accepting the securities of the Roll-Up Entity offered in
the proposed Roll-Up; or
(ii) one of either:
(a) remaining as Stockholders of the Company
and preserving their interests therein on the same terms
and conditions as previously existed; or
(b) receiving cash in an amount equal to the
Stockholders' pro rata share of the appraised value of the
net assets of the Company.
The foregoing provisions in the Articles, Bylaws and the MGCL could have
the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of
some, or a majority, of the Shares might receive a premium for their
Shares over the then prevailing market price or which these holders might
believe to be otherwise in their best interests.
LIMITATION ON TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
The Articles provide that, subject to the conditions described in the
following paragraph, the annual Total Operating Expenses of the Company shall
not exceed in any fiscal year the greater of 2% of the Average Invested Assets
of the Company or 25% of the Company's Net Income. The Independent Directors
have a fiduciary responsibility to limit the Company's annual Total Operating
Expenses to amounts that do not exceed the foregoing limitations. The
Independent Directors may, however, determine that a higher level of Total
Operating Expenses is justified for such period because of unusual and
non-recurring expenses. Any such finding by the Independent Directors and the
reasons in support thereof shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of
Directors. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company
for which Total Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) exceed 2% of
Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income, whichever is greater, there shall
be sent to the Stockholders a written report of such fact, together with an
explanation of the facts the Independent Directors considered in arriving at
the conclusion that such higher operating expenses were justified. In the
event the Total Operating Expenses exceed the limitations described above and
if the Directors are
123
<PAGE> 134
unable to conclude that such excess was justified then, within 60 days after
the end of the Company's fiscal year, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company
in the amount by which the aggregate annual Total Operating Expenses paid or
incurred by the Company exceed the limitation.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Articles impose certain restrictions upon dealings between the Company
and the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof. In
particular, the Company may not:
(i) borrow money from the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or
Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of the Directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in
such transaction determines that such transaction is fair and
reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than from
unaffiliated parties under the same or similar circumstances;
(ii) invest in joint ventures with an Affiliated program except in
compliance with the requirements set forth in the Articles. See
"Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint Ventures";
(iii) enter into any other transaction with the Advisor, the
Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of
the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction determines
that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and is
on terms and conditions no less favorable than from unaffiliated
third parties, except for advisory arrangements with the Advisor.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company was allowed to acquire the
Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property from
IPS. See "Conflicts of Interest--Acquisitions from Affiliates" and
"--Non-Arm's-Length Agreements" and "Real Property Investments"; or
(iv) sell property to or loan money to the Advisor, the Sponsor,
any Director or Affiliates thereof (except as provided in the
Articles).
RESTRICTIONS ON BORROWING
The Company may not incur indebtedness to enable it to make Distributions
except as necessary to satisfy the requirement that the Company distribute at
least 95% of its REIT Taxable Income, or otherwise as necessary or advisable to
assure that the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes. The aggregate borrowing of the Company, secured and
unsecured, shall be reasonable in relation to the Net Assets of the Company and
shall be reviewed by the Board at least quarterly. The Company anticipates
that aggregate borrowings related to all of the Company's properties will not
exceed 50% of their combined fair market values, however, the maximum amount of
borrowings in relation to Net Assets shall, in the absence of a satisfactory
showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate, not exceed 300% of Net
Assets. Any borrowings in excess of such 300% level shall only occur with the
consent of a majority of the Stockholders. See "Investment Objectives and
Policies--Borrowing." The Company shall not borrow funds from the Advisor, the
Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors), not otherwise interested
in such transaction, determines that such transaction is fair and reasonable
and no less favorable to the Company than from unaffiliated parties under the
same or similar circumstances.
124
<PAGE> 135
RESTRICTIONS ON INVESTMENTS
The investment policies set forth in the Articles shall be approved by a
majority of Independent Directors. The Articles prohibit investments in: (i)
any foreign currency or bullion; (ii) short sales; and (iii) any security in
any entity holding investments or engaging in activities prohibited by the
Articles.
In addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Directors from
time to time consistent with the Company's objective to qualify as a REIT, the
Company will observe the following restrictions on its investments set forth in
its Articles:
(i) not more than 10% of the Company's total assets will be
invested in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on
unimproved real property. For purposes of this paragraph,
"unimproved real properties" does not include properties under
construction, under contract for development or plan for
development within one year;
(ii) the Company may not invest in commodities or commodity
future contracts. Such limitation is not intended to apply to
interest rate futures, when used solely for hedging purposes;
(iii) the Company shall not invest in or make mortgage loans
unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property.
Mortgage indebtedness on any property shall not exceed such
property's appraised value. In cases in which the majority of
Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in which the
mortgage loan involves the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or
any Affiliates, such appraisal must be obtained from an Independent
Expert concerning the underlying property. The appraisal shall be
maintained in the Company's records for at least five years, and
shall be available for inspection and duplication by any
Stockholder. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee's or
owner's title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of
the mortgage or condition of the title must be obtained. The
Company may not invest in real estate contracts of sale otherwise
known as land sale contracts;
(iv) the Company may not make or invest in mortgage loans,
including construction loans, on any one property if the
aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property,
including the loans of the Company, would exceed an amount equal to
85% of the appraised value of the property as determined by
appraisal unless substantial justification exists because of the
presence of other underwriting criteria provided that such loans
would in no event exceed the appraised value of the property at the
date of the loans;
(v) the Company may not make or invest in any mortgage loans
that are subordinate to any mortgage or equity interest of the
Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof;
(vi) the Company shall not invest in equity securities unless a
majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction
approves the transaction as being fair, competitive and
commercially reasonable. Investments in entities affiliated with
the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof are
subject to the restrictions on joint venture investments.
Notwithstanding these restrictions, the Company may purchase its
own securities, when
125
<PAGE> 136
traded on a secondary market or on a national securities
exchange or market, if a majority of the Directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) determine such purchase to
be in the best interests of the Company;
(vii) the Company shall not issue: (a) redeemable equity
securities; (b) debt securities unless the historical debt
service coverage (in the most recently completed fiscal year)
as adjusted for known charges is sufficient to properly service
the higher level of debt; (c) options or warrants to purchase
Shares to the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates
thereof except on the same terms as sold to the general public,
provided that the Company may issue options or warrants to persons
not affiliated with the Company at exercise prices not less than
the fair market value of such securities on the date of grant and
for consideration (which may include securities) that in the
judgment of the Independent Directors have a market value not less
than the value of such option on the date of grant); options or
warrants issuable to the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or
Affiliates thereof shall not exceed an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the outstanding Shares on the date of grant of any
options or warrants; or (d) issue Shares on a deferred payment
basis or similar arrangement;
(viii) to the extent the Company invests in real property acquired from
an Affiliate, a majority of the Directors (including a majority of
the Independent Directors) shall determine the consideration paid
for such real property, based on the fair market value of the
property; in such event, an appraisal by a qualified independent
real estate appraiser selected by the Independent Directors shall
be obtained;
(ix) the Company may not invest in indebtedness (herein called
"Junior Debt") secured by a mortgage on real property which is
subordinate to the lien of other indebtedness (herein called
"Senior Debt"), except where the amount of such Junior Debt, plus
the outstanding amount of the Senior Debt, does not exceed 90% of
the appraised value of such property, if after giving effect
thereto, the value of all such investments of the Company (as
shown on the books of the Company in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, after all reasonable reserves but
before provision for depreciation) would not then exceed 25% of
the Company's tangible assets. The value of all investments in
Junior Debt of the Company which does not meet the aforementioned
requirements would be limited to 10% of the Company's tangible
assets (which would be included within the 25% limitation);
(x) engage in trading, as compared with investment activities; and
(xi) engage in underwriting or the agency distribution of
securities issued by others.
Subject to the above restrictions, a majority of the Independent Directors may
alter the investment policies if they determine that such change is in the best
interests of the Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL
The Company is offering on a "best efforts" basis 10,000,000 Shares at a
purchase price of $10.00 per Share with a minimum investment of $3,000 ($1,000
in the case of Tax-Exempt Entities, except Iowa where the minimum investment
for IRAs will be $3,000) and 1,000,000 Shares at a purchase price of $9.05 per
Share pursuant to the Distribution Reinvestment Program. "Best efforts" means
that no one is guaranteeing that any specified amount of capital will be
raised. The Offering will commence as of the date of this Prospectus and will
terminate not later than August __, 1998. The Company reserves the right to
terminate the Offering at any time.
ESCROW CONDITIONS
Subscription proceeds for qualified subscriptions will be deposited in a
segregated escrow account with the LaSalle National Bank, N.A., 120 South
LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois, and will be held in trust for the benefit of
the subscribers pending release to the Company, and will not be commingled.
Subscription proceeds are expected to be released to the Company as
subscriptions are accepted. All subscriptions will be accepted or rejected
within ten days (and generally within 24 hours) after receipt by the Company.
ADVISOR CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
The Advisor made a capital contribution to the Company in the amount of
$200,000 prior to the commencement of the Prior Offering, for which the Advisor
received 20,000 Shares. The Advisor may not sell this initial investment while
it remains the Advisor but may transfer the Shares to an Affiliate. The
Advisor and its Affiliates may purchase additional Shares for their own
accounts. However, at no time will the Advisor own 9.8% or more of the total
number of the Company's Shares outstanding. Any purchases of Shares by the
Advisor during the Offering will be for investment purposes only and not with a
view toward immediate resale.
SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS
The Shares are being offered to the public through the Soliciting Dealers.
The Dealer Manager also sells Shares directly. The form of Soliciting Dealers
Agreement between the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers
requires the broker-dealers to make diligent inquiries, as required by law, of
all prospective purchasers in order to ascertain whether a purchase of Shares
is suitable for such person and transmit promptly to the Company the completed
subscription documentation and any supporting documentation reasonably required
by the Company.
The Shares are being sold when, as and if subscriptions therefor are
received and accepted by the Company, subject to the satisfaction by the
Company of certain other conditions and approval by counsel of certain legal
matters. The Company has the unconditional right to accept or reject any
subscription. Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within ten days (and
generally within 24 hours) after its receipt of a copy of the Subscription
Agreement, fully completed, and payment in good funds for the number of
subscribed Shares. If the subscription is accepted, a confirmation will be
mailed not more than five days after acceptance of the investor as a
Stockholder. A sale of the Shares may not be completed until at least five
business days after the date the subscriber receives a final Prospectus and a
copy of the Organizational
127
<PAGE> 138
Documents, as may be required by certain state regulatory authorities. If for
any reason the subscription is rejected, the check and subscription agreement
will be returned to the subscriber, without interest or deduction, within ten
days after receipt.
Shares will only be sold to persons who purchase a minimum of 300 Shares
($3,000) or Tax-Exempt Entities which purchase a minimum of 100 Shares ($1,000,
except Iowa where the minimum investment for IRAs will be $3,000). Subsequent
purchases may be made in increments of 100 Shares. Subscriptions will be
accepted for fractional Shares only in the discretion of the Company.
DETERMINATION OF INVESTOR SUITABILITY
The Company, the Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer shall make
every reasonable effort to determine that those persons being offered or sold
the Shares are appropriate in light of the suitability standards set forth
herein and are appropriate to such investor's investment objectives and
financial situation. The Soliciting Dealers shall ascertain that the investors
can reasonably benefit from the Company, and the following shall be relevant to
such determination: (i) the investor has the capability of understanding the
fundamental aspects of the Company, which capacity may be evidenced by the
following: (a) the nature of employment experience; (b) educational level
achieved; (c) access to advice from qualified sources, such as attorneys,
accountants, tax advisors, etc.; and (d) prior experience with investments of a
similar nature; (ii) the investor has apparent understanding of: (a) the
fundamental risks and possible financial hazards of this type of investment;
(b) the lack of liquidity of this investment; (c) the Advisor's role in
directing or managing the investment; and (d) the tax consequences of the
investment; and (iii) the investor has the financial capability to invest in
the Company.
By executing the subscription agreement, each Soliciting Dealer
acknowledges his determination that the Shares are a suitable investment for
the investor, and will be required to represent and warrant his compliance with
the applicable laws requiring the determination of the suitability of
the Shares as an investment for the subscriber. The Company and its Affiliates
will, in addition to the foregoing, coordinate the processes and procedures
utilized by the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers and, where necessary,
implement such additional reviews and procedures deemed necessary to determine
that investors meet the suitability standards set forth herein. The Dealer
Manager and/or the Soliciting Dealers shall maintain for at least six years a
record of the information obtained to determine that an investor meets the
suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of Shares and a
representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the
investor's own account or, in lieu of such representation, information
indicating that the investor for whose account the investment was made met the
suitability standards.
COMPENSATION
The Company will pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions equal to up to
seven percent (7%) on all Shares sold for serving as a dealer manager of the
Offering and for the sale of Shares through its efforts, of which such
compensation may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers, as
compensation for their services in soliciting and obtaining subscribers for the
purchase of Shares, further described below. Up to an additional 2.5% of the
Gross Offering Proceeds may be paid as a Marketing Contribution and Due
Diligence Expense Allowance Fee. The total of reallowed commissions and
reimbursed expenses paid by the Dealer Manager will not exceed 9.5% of the
purchase price of the Shares sold by a Soliciting Dealer. Soliciting Dealers
will also receive one Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by such
Soliciting Dealer during the Offering, subject to federal and state securities
laws. The holder of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase
one Share from the Company at a price of $12
128
<PAGE> 139
during the period commencing with the first date upon which the Soliciting
Dealer Warrants are issued and ending on October 13, 2000 (the "Exercise
Period"). Subject to certain limitations, the Soliciting Dealer Warrants may
not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of one year
following issuance thereof. In addition, no Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be
exercisable until one year from the date of issuance. The Soliciting Dealer
Warrants which were to be but have not been issued to Inland Securities
Corporation in connection with the Prior Offering and the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants to be issued in connection with this Offering, as well as the Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, are being registered
as part of this Offering. For the life of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, the
holders are given, at nominal cost, the opportunity to profit from a rise in the
market price for the Common Stock without assuming the risk of ownership, with a
resulting dilution in the interest of other security holders. Moreover, the
holders of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants might be expected to exercise them at
a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain needed
capital by a new offering of its securities on terms more favorable than those
provided by the Soliciting Dealer Warrants. See "Description of
Securities--Soliciting Dealer Warrants."
The Dealer Manager may award sales incentive items to Soliciting Dealers
in connection with their sales activities. The value of each item will be less
than $50 per annum per participating salesperson. In addition, the Dealer
Manager may pay incentive compensation to its regional marketing
representatives for their activities as wholesalers in connection with the
distribution of the Shares, subject to the overall restrictions on commissions
described herein. The Dealer Manager will reallow commissions to Soliciting
Dealers who sell 100,000 or more Shares during the Offering, as an incentive.
This incentive commission, equal to 1% of the price of the Shares initially
will be paid following the sale of 100,000 Shares by a Soliciting Dealer and,
thereafter, will be paid quarterly in the event additional Shares are sold.
The incentive compensation will be reduced by the amount of any marketing costs
paid by the Dealer Manager on behalf of, or to, the Soliciting Dealers.
The Company shall not pay or award, directly or indirectly, any
commissions or other compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor
for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the investor
to purchase Shares, provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit
the normal sales commission payable to a registered broker-dealer or other
properly licensed person for selling the Shares.
VOLUME DISCOUNTS
Commissions will be reduced below 7% for obtaining subscriptions from
Stockholders in accordance with the following:

Any reduction from the up to 7% commission otherwise payable to the Dealer
Manager, some or all of which may be reallowable to a Soliciting Dealer in
respect of a purchaser's subscription will be credited to such purchaser in the
form of additional whole Shares or fractional Shares purchased net of
commissions.

Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of crediting a purchaser
with additional Shares and determining commissions payable to the Dealer
Manager and reallowable to Soliciting Dealers so long as all such purchases are
made through the same Soliciting Dealer. Tax-Exempt Entities may be combined
in computing amounts invested if they each have the same person who exercises
investment discretion. If the Subscription Agreement/Signature Page fails to
indicate by marking the "Additional Purchase" space that subscriptions are to
be combined, the Company cannot be held responsible for failing to properly
combine subscriptions.
Employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates will be
permitted to purchase Shares net of sales commissions and the
Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee ($9.05 per
Share).
TRANSFER OF SHARES
A Stockholder may assign all or some of his Shares, subject to the
Ownership Limit contained in the Articles. This assignment shall confer upon
the assignee the right to become a Stockholder in the following manner and
subject to certain conditions, including the following: (i) an instrument of
assignment executed by both the assignor and assignee of the Shares
satisfactory in form to the Company shall be delivered to the Company; (ii)
reimbursement of the Company for reasonable expenses and filing costs incurred
in connection with such transfer, which amount shall not exceed $100; (iii) no
assignment shall be effective until the first day of the month following the
month in which the Company actually receives the instrument of assignment which
complies with the requirements of (i) and (ii) above; (iv) no assignment of
beneficial ownership (other than by gift, bequest, inheritance or operation of
law) shall be effective prior to the termination of the Offering; (v) no
assignment shall be effective if such assignment would, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, result in the termination of the Company's status as a
REIT under the Code; (vi) an assignment may be rejected if such assignment
would cause 25% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares to be held by
Tax-Exempt Entities that are considered "benefit plan investors" under ERISA or
otherwise cause the assets of the Company to be Plan assets; and (vii) no
assignment shall be effected if the assignment would, to the knowledge of the
Company, violate the provisions of any applicable federal or state securities
laws.
The Shares will not initially be listed on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system. The Company anticipates
that by 1999 the Board will determine whether it is in the best interests of
the Company to: (i) apply to have the Shares listed for trading on a national
stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market system, provided
the Company meets the then applicable listing requirements; and/or (ii)
commence a subsequent public offering.
INDEMNIFICATION
The Company will indemnify the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act; provided,
however, that the Company shall not indemnify the Dealer Manager or any
Soliciting Dealer from any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out
of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more
of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular indemnitee and a court of competent
jurisdiction has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; or (ii) such
claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court has approved
indemnification of the litigation costs; or (iii) a court
of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of
130
<PAGE> 141
the claims against a particular indemnitee and the court has approved
indemnification of the settlement and related costs and the court considering
the request has been advised of the position of the Commission and the
published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which
securities of the Company were offered and sold as to indemnification for
securities law violations. The Soliciting Dealer will be required to indemnify
the Company and the Advisor against certain such liabilities. In the opinion
of the Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act is
against public policy and, therefore, unenforceable. The Dealer Manager and
each of the Soliciting Dealers may be deemed to be an "underwriter" as that
term is defined in the Act. See "Distribution Reinvestment and Share
Repurchase Programs."

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT AND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PROGRAM
The Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP") allows Stockholders who
purchased Shares pursuant either to the Prior Offering or to this Offering
("Participants") to automatically reinvest Distributions in the Company by
permitting purchase of additional Shares. Stockholders who purchased Shares
pursuant to the Prior Offering or who purchase Shares pursuant to this Offering
and elect to take part in the DRP will authorize the Company to use
Distributions payable to them to purchase additional Shares. However, a
Participant will not be able to acquire Shares under the DRP to the extent such
purchase would cause it to exceed the Ownership Limit.
Purchases under the DRP will not be subject to selling commissions or the
Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee. Participants in
the DRP may also purchase fractional Shares, so that 100% of Distributions will
be used to acquire Shares. Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the record
date for the Distribution used to purchase the Shares. Distributions for Shares
acquired under the DRP are currently paid monthly and are calculated with a
daily record and Distribution declaration date. Each Participant agrees that if,
at any time prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange or
inclusion of the Shares for quotation on a national market system, he fails to
meet the suitability requirements for making an investment in the Company or
cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth in the
Subscription Agreement, he will promptly so notify the Company in writing.
Commencing with the first Distribution paid after the effective date of
the Offering of Shares pursuant to the Prospectus and continuing until the
termination of the Offering, Participants will acquire Shares from the Company
at a fixed price of $9.05 per Share. It is possible that a secondary market
will
132
<PAGE> 143
develop for the Shares, and that Shares may be bought and sold on the
secondary market at prices lower or higher than the $9.05 per Share price which
will be paid under the DRP. Neither the Company nor its Affiliates will
receive a fee for selling Shares under the DRP. The Company does not warrant
or guarantee that Participants will be acquiring Shares at the lowest possible
price. A Participant may terminate participation in the DRP at any time
without penalty, by delivering written notice to the Company. Prior to listing
of the Shares on a national stock exchange or including the Shares for
quotation on a national market system, any transfer of Shares by a Participant
to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the DRP with respect to
the transferred Shares. Upon termination, Distributions will be distributed to
the Stockholder instead of being used to purchase Shares under the DRP. Within
90 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year, the Company will: (i)
issue certificates evidencing ownership of Shares purchased through the DRP
during the prior fiscal year (ownership of said Shares will be in book-entry
form prior to the issuance of certificates); and (ii) provide each Participant
with an individualized report on his or her investment, including the purchase
date(s), purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of
distribution and amounts of Distributions received during the prior fiscal
year. The individualized statement to Participants will include receipts and
purchases relating to each Participant's participation in the DRP including the
tax consequences relative thereto. The Directors by majority vote (including a
majority of Independent Directors) may amend or terminate the DRP upon 30 days'
notice to Participants. It is anticipated that the Directors will amend or
terminate the DRP upon completion of this Offering.
Stockholders who participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Program will
recognize taxable dividend income in the amount they would have
received had they not elected to participate, even though they receive no cash.
These deemed dividends will be treated as actual dividends from the Company to
the participating Stockholders and will retain the character and tax effects
applicable to all dividends. Shares received under the program will have a
holding period beginning with the day after purchase, and a tax basis equal to
their cost, which is the gross amount of the deemed Distribution. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of Stockholders--Taxation of Taxable
Domestic Stockholders" for a full discussion of the tax effects of dividend
distributions.
If the Company's Shares are listed on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system, Shares purchased by the
Company for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market, at the
prevailing market price, and will be sold to Stockholders at such price. The
reservation of any Shares from this Offering remaining for issuance under the
DRP will be cancelled. The Shares will continue to have the status of
authorized but unissued Shares. These Shares will not be issued unless they
are first registered with the Commission under the Act and under appropriate
state securities laws or are otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Share Repurchase Program ("SRP") may, subject to certain restrictions,
provide eligible Stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them
to sell Shares back to the Company at a price of $9.05 per Share (a reduction
of $.95 from the $10 Offering price, reflecting selling commissions and the
Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee).
Repurchases under the SRP will be made quarterly by the Company on a
first-come, first-served basis, and will be limited in the following ways: (i)
not more than $500,000 worth of the outstanding Shares will be repurchased in
any given year; and (ii) the funds available for repurchase will be limited to
available proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares under the
DRP. The determination
133
<PAGE> 144
of available funds from sales under the DRP will be at the sole
discretion of the Board. In making this determination, the Board will consider
the need to use proceeds from the Share sales under the DRP for investment in
additional properties, or for maintenance or repair of existing properties.
Such property-related uses will have priority over the need to allocate funds
to the SRP. To be eligible to offer Shares for purchase to the SRP, the
Stockholder must have beneficially held the Shares for at least one year.
The Company cannot guarantee that funds will be available for repurchase.
If no funds are available for the SRP at the time when repurchase is
requested, the Stockholder could: (i) withdraw his request for repurchase; or
(ii) ask that the Company honor the request at such time, if any, when funds
are available. Such pending requests will be honored on a first come, first
served basis. There is no requirement that Stockholders sell their Shares to
the Company. The SRP is only intended to provide interim liquidity for
Stockholders until a secondary market develops for the Shares. No such market
presently exists and no assurance can be given that one will develop. The SRP
will exist during the Offering period and will be terminated following the
close of the Offering period upon: (i) the development of a secondary market
for the Shares (i.e., at such time as a secondary market-maker quotes a bid and
ask price for at least 30 continuous trading days); or (ii) the listing of the
Shares on a national securities exchange or inclusion for quotation on a
national market system.
Shares purchased by the Company under the SRP will be cancelled, and will
have the status of authorized but unissued Shares. Shares acquired by the
Company through the SRP will not be reissued unless they are first registered
with the Commission under the Act and under appropriate state securities laws
or otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.
In the event that the Company begins selling its properties, the purchase
price paid by the SRP for Shares will be adjusted accordingly. Because the
availability of purchase funds for the SRP cannot be predetermined, and because
the demand for repurchase by Stockholders cannot be predetermined, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to establish and maintain the SRP.
REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
The Advisor will keep, or cause to be kept, full and true books of account
on an accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). All of such books of account, together with a
copy of the Articles and any amendments thereto, will at all times be
maintained at the principal office of the Company, and will be open to
inspection, examination and duplication at reasonable times by the Stockholders
or their agents.
The Advisor will submit to each Stockholder audited annual reports of the
Company within 120 days following the close of each fiscal year. The annual
reports will contain the following: (i) audited financial statements; (ii) the
ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital raised;
(iii) the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of fees
paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the Company and
including fees or charges paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor
by third parties doing business with the Company; (iv) the Total Operating
Expenses of the Company, stated as a percentage of the Average Invested Assets
and as a percentage of Net Income; (v) a report from the Independent Directors
that the policies being followed by the Company are in the best interests of
its Stockholders and the basis for such determination; and (vi) separately
stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances
surrounding any and all transactions involving the Company, the Directors, the
Advisor and any Affiliate thereof occurring in the year for
134
<PAGE> 145
which the Annual Report is made. Independent Directors shall be
specifically charged with the duty to examine and comment in the report on the
fairness of such transactions.
In addition, unaudited quarterly reports containing the information
required by Form 10-Q will be submitted to each Stockholder within 60 days
after the end of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year.
Concurrently with any Distribution, the Company shall provide Stockholders
with a statement disclosing the source of the funds distributed. If such
information is not available concurrently with the making of a Distribution, a
statement setting forth the reasons why such information is not available shall
be provided concurrently. In no event shall such information be provided to
Stockholders more than 60 days of making such Distribution.
Within 60 days following the end of any calendar quarter during the period
of the Offering in which the Company has closed an acquisition of a property, a
report will be submitted to each Stockholder containing: (i) the location and
a description of the general character of the property acquired during the
quarter; (ii) the present or proposed use of such property and its suitability
and adequacy for such use; (iii) the terms of any material lease affecting the
property; (iv) the proposed method of financing, if any, including estimated
down payment, leverage ratio, prepaid interest, balloon payment(s), prepayment
penalties, "due-on-sale" or encumbrance clauses and possible adverse effects
thereof and similar details of the proposed financing plan; and (v) a statement
that title insurance has been or will be obtained on the property acquired. In
addition, a report will be sent to each Stockholder and submitted to
prospective investors at such time as the Advisor believes a reasonable
probability exists that a property will be acquired: (i) on specified terms
(i.e., upon completion of due diligence which includes review of the title
insurance commitment, appraisal and environmental analysis); and (ii) involving
the use of 10% or more, on a cumulative basis, of the net proceeds of this
Offering.
After the completion of the last acquisition, the Advisor shall, upon
request, send to the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California a
schedule, verified under the penalty of perjury, reflecting: (i) each
acquisition made; (ii) the purchase price paid; (iii) the aggregate of all
Acquisition Fees paid on each transaction; and (iv) a computation showing
compliance with the Articles. The Company shall, upon request, submit to the
Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California or to any of the
various state securities administrators any report or statement required to be
distributed to Stockholders pursuant to the Articles or any applicable law or
regulation.
The Company's federal tax return (and any applicable state income tax
returns) will be prepared by the accountants regularly retained by the Company.
Appropriate tax information will be submitted to the Stockholders within 30
days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company. A specific
reconciliation between GAAP and income tax information will not be provided to
the Stockholders; however, such reconciling information will be available in
the office of the Company for inspection and review by any interested
Stockholder. Concurrent with the dissemination of appropriate tax information
to Stockholders, the Company will annually provide each Stockholder with an
individualized report on his or her investment, including the purchase date(s),
purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of distribution
and amounts of Distributions received during the prior fiscal year. The
individualized statement to Stockholders will include any purchases of Shares
under the DRP. Stockholders requiring individualized reports on a more frequent
basis may request such reports. The Company will make every reasonable effort
to supply more frequent reports, as requested, but the Company, at its sole
discretion, may require payment of an administrative charge which will be paid:
(i) directly by the
135
<PAGE> 146
Stockholder; or (ii) through pre-authorized deductions from Distributions
payable to the Stockholder making the request.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1996
(unaudited)
Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Company's audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, which are
included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this Report.
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on May 12, 1994
to invest in neighborhood retail centers located within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The Company may also
acquire single-user retail properties in locations throughout the United
States, certain of which may be sale and leaseback transactions, net leased to
creditworthy tenants. On October 14, 1994, the Company commenced an initial
public offering (the "Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock (the
"Shares") at a price of $10 per Share and the issuance of 1,000,000 Shares at a
price of $9.05 per Share which may be distributed pursuant to the Company's
distribution reinvestment program (the "DRP"). Inland Real Estate Advisory
Services, Inc. (the "Advisor"), an Affiliate of the Company, is the advisor to
the Company. Subscriber funds were held in an interest-bearing escrow account
with the Company's unaffiliated escrow agent until January 3, 1995. Offering
proceeds were released from escrow on January 3, 1995 when subscriptions were
accepted and Shares issued by the Company. Subscribers received their pro rata
share of interest income earned on their subscriptions while in escrow. As of
March 31, 1996, the Company has repurchased 3,000 Shares. At March 31, 1996,
subscriptions for a total of 2,909,912 Shares have been received, resulting in
$29,088,408 in Gross Offering Proceeds.
The Company qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes
commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995. Since the Company
qualified for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year,
the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at
regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 1996

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. Included in cash and equivalents is $249,890 held by
the Company's affiliated property manager which is unrestricted and held in the
Company's name.
Deferred organization costs are amortized over a 60-month period.
Offering costs were offset against the Stockholders' equity accounts once the
Shares sold exceeded the Minimum Number of Shares and Gross Offering Proceeds
were released from escrow. Offering costs consist principally of printing,
selling and registration costs.
The investment properties are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or net
realizable value. Periodically, the Company will review its real estate
portfolio and if investment properties suffer an impairment in value which is
deemed to be other than temporary, the investment in properties would be
reduced to the net realizable value of the properties. As of March 31, 1996,
there have been no such impairments. Depreciation expense is computed using
the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are based upon estimated
useful lives of 30 years. Tenant improvements will be depreciated over the
related lease period.
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each
lease. The difference between rental income earned and the cash rent due under
the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable.
The Company believes that the interest rate associated with the mortgage
payable approximates the market interest rates for this type of debt
instrument, and as such, the carrying amount of the mortgage payable
approximates its fair value.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and
rents receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, accrued offering
costs to Affiliates, accrued offering costs to non-Affiliates, accrued interest
payable to Affiliates, accrued real estate taxes, and distributions payable
approximate fair value because of the relative short maturity of these
instruments.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all the
adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods
presented herein. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year.
(2) Transactions with Affiliates
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had incurred $4,105,670 of organization and
offering costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Advisor is required
to pay organization and offering expenses (excluding sales commissions, the
marketing contribution and the due diligence expense allowance fee) in excess
of 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the "Gross Offering Proceeds")
or all organization and offering expenses (including such selling expenses)
which together exceed 15% of Gross Offering Proceeds. As of March 31, 1996,
organizational and offering costs did exceed the 5.5% and 15% limitations. The
Company anticipates that these costs will not exceed these limitations upon
completion of the Offering, however, any excess amounts will be reimbursed by
the Advisor.
The Advisor and its Affiliates are entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of employees of the Advisor and its Affiliates relating to the
Offering and to the administration of the Company. In addition, an Affiliate
of the Advisor serves as dealer manager of the Offering and is entitled to
receive selling commissions, a marketing contribution and a due diligence
expense allowance fee from the Company in connection with the Offering. Such
commissions incurred were $2,526,845 and $1,719,406 as of March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively, of which $192,632 and $102,084 were unpaid as
of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Other costs to
Affiliates incurred relating to the Offering were $369,426 and $409,858 as of
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, of which $76,938 and
$120,269 were unpaid as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

As of March 31, 1996, the Advisor has contributed $200,000 to the capital of
the Company for which it received 20,000 Shares.
During 1994, the Advisor advanced $193,300 to the Company for costs incurred
with the Offering. These advances were repaid with a market rate of interest
to the Advisor in January 1995 with interest ranging from 7.75% to 9.50%. The
principal of $193,300 and interest totaling $3,162 were paid from Gross
Offering Proceeds.
The Advisor may receive an annual Advisor Asset Management Fee of not more than
1% of the Average Invested Assets, paid quarterly. For any year in which the
Company qualifies as a REIT, the Advisor must reimburse the Company: (i) to
the extent that the Advisor Asset Management Fee plus Other Operating Expenses
paid during the previous calendar year exceed 2% of the Company's Average
Invested Assets for that calendar year or 25% of the Company's Net Income for
that calendar year; and (ii) to the extent that Stockholders have not received
an annual Distribution equal to or greater than the 8% Current Return. As of
March 31, 1996, the Company has incurred $48,540 of such fees, all of which
remains unpaid at March 31, 1996. (Defined terms in this paragraph have the
same definitions from the prospectus.)
An Affiliate of the Advisor is entitled to receive Property Management Fees for
management and leasing services. The Company incurred and paid property
management fees of $29,136 and $2,882 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

(3) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company adopted an Independent Director Stock Option Plan which granted
each Independent Director an option to acquire 3,000 Shares as of October 14,
1994 and an additional 500 Shares on the date of each annual stockholders'
meeting commencing with the annual meeting in 1995 if the Independent Director
is a member of the Board on such date. The options for the initial 3,000 Share
grant are exercisable as follows: 1,000 Shares on the date of grant and 1,000
Shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of the date of grant. The
succeeding options are exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of
grant. No options have been exercised.
In addition to sales commissions, Soliciting Dealers will also receive one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by such Soliciting Dealer
during the Offering, subject to state and federal securities laws. The holder
of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase one Share from the
Company at a price of $12 during the period commencing with the first date upon
which the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and ending upon the first to
occur of: (i) October 14, 1999; or (ii) the closing date of a secondary
offering of the Shares by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be exercisable until one year from the date of
issuance.
On the behalf of the Company, the Advisor is currently exploring the purchase
of additional shopping centers from unaffiliated third parties.

(A) The initial cost to the Company, represents the original purchase price of
the property, including amounts incurred subsequent to acquisition, which
were contemplated at the time the property was acquired.
(B) Adjustments to basis includes additions to investment properties and
payments received under master lease agreements. As part of the
Montgomery-Goodyear, Hartford/Naperville Plaza, Nantucket Square and Antioch
Plaza purchases, the Company will receive rent under master lease
agreements on the spaces currently vacant for periods ranging from one year
to eighteen months or until the spaces are leased. Generally accepted
accounting principles require that as these payments are received, they be
recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the properties rather than
as rental income. As of March 31, 1996, the Company has recorded $242,349
of such payments.

(5) Operating Leases
Master Lease Agreements
As part of the Montgomery-Goodyear, Hartford/Naperville Plaza, Nantucket Square
and Antioch Plaza purchases, the Company will receive rent under master lease
agreements on the spaces currently vacant for periods ranging from one year to
eighteen months or until the spaces are leased. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles require that as these payments are received, they be recorded as a
reduction in the purchase price of the properties rather than as rental income.
Hartford/Naperville Plaza is fully leased and tenant improvements are
substantially completed. Master lease payments amounted to $29,114 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.
The seller of Nantucket Square entered into a master lease agreement with the
Company for 4,500 square feet at $15 per square foot for 12 months or until the
space is leased. In addition, the Company received a credit at closing for
rent abatement agreements under current leases. Master lease payments amounted
to $37,268 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
At March 31, 1996, Antioch Plaza was 49% leased and tenant improvements are
being completed. Certain tenants have begun paying rent. The master lease
payments amounted to $39,921 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
master lease agreement on this property expires June 1997.
Master lease payments at Montgomery-Goodyear amounted to $3,030 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.
Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for stepped rent increases.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rental income be recorded
for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent, which is the
average monthly rent for the entire period of occupancy during the term of the
lease. The accompanying financial statements include $7,284 and $740 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of rental income for
the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases apply and $19,697 and
$740 in related accounts receivable as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively. These amounts will be collected over the terms of the related
leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

(7) Subsequent Events
During April 1996, the Company paid distributions of $183,457 to the
Stockholders of record at March 31, 1996 on a weighted average basis for the
month.
On April 5, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the Regency Point
Shopping Center located in Lockport, Illinois ("Regency Point"), from a third
party unaffiliated with the Company, for a purchase price of $5,700,000. In
connection with the acquisition of Regency Point, the Company assumed the
existing first mortgage loan of approximately $4,473,200, along with a related
interest rate swap agreement which has the effect of fixing the interest rate
on the mortgage loan at 7.91% per annum. The remainder of the purchase price
was funded, after prorations, with proceeds of the Offering. The related
interest rate swap agreement was terminated on April 18, 1996 resulting in
$48,419 proceeds to the Company. As a result, the first mortgage loan has a
floating interest rate of 180 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR rate, which
rate is adjusted monthly (currently 7.2375%), amortizes over 25 years and
matures August 2000.

INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND III, INC.
(a Maryland corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 1995 and
for the period from May 12, 1994 (formation of the Company)
to December 31, 1994
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on May 12, 1994
to invest in neighborhood retail centers located within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The Company may also
acquire single-user retail properties in locations throughout the United
States, certain of which may be sale and leaseback transactions, net leased to
creditworthy tenants. On October 14, 1994, the Company commenced an initial
public offering ("Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock ("Shares") at
a price of $10 per Share and the issuance of 1,000,000 Shares at a price of
$9.05 per Share which may be distributed pursuant to the Company's distribution
reinvestment program (the "DRP"). Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc.
(the "Advisor"), an Affiliate of the Company, is the advisor to the Company.
At December 31, 1994, subscriptions for a total of 189,938.145 Shares had been
received from the public resulting in $1,899,381 in Gross Offering Proceeds,
which includes $200,000 received from the Advisor for 20,000 Shares.
Subscriber funds were held in an interest-bearing escrow account with the
Company's unaffiliated escrow agent until January 3, 1995. At December 31,
1994, escrowed funds of $1,699,381 were reflected as escrowed deposits, along
with the corresponding liability for subscriptions received, in the
accompanying financial statements. Offering proceeds were released from escrow
on January 3, 1995 when subscriptions were accepted and Shares issued by the
Company. Subscribers received their pro rata share of interest income earned
on their subscriptions while in escrow. At December 31, 1995, subscriptions
for a total of 2,000,073 Shares have been received, resulting in $19,976,354 in
Gross Offering Proceeds. As of December 31, 1995, the Company has repurchased
30 Shares.
The Company qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes
commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 1995. Since the Company
qualified for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year,
the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at
regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity
of three months of less to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. Included in cash and equivalents is $142,720 held by
the Company's affiliated property manager which is unrestricted and held in the
Company's name.
Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow for tenant improvements at
Naperville/Hartford Plaza. The Company has recorded a corresponding payable as
a component of other liabilities.
Deferred organization costs will be amortized over a 60-month period.
Offering costs were offset against the Stockholders' equity accounts once the
Shares sold exceeded the Minimum Number of Shares and Gross Offering Proceeds
were released from escrow. Offering costs consist principally of printing,
selling and registration costs.
The investment properties are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or net
realizable value. Periodically, the Company will review its real estate
portfolio and if investment properties suffer an impairment in value which is
deemed to be other than temporary, the investment in properties would be
reduced to the net realizable value of the properties. As of December 31,
1995, there have been no such impairments. Depreciation expense is computed
using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are based upon
estimated useful lives of 30 years. Tenant improvements will be depreciated
over the related lease period.
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each
lease. The difference between rental income earned and the cash rent due under
the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable.
The Company believes that the interest rates associated with the mortgage
payable and notes payable to Affiliates approximate the market interest rates
for these types of debt instruments, and as such, the carrying amount of the
mortgage payable and notes payable to Affiliates approximate their fair value.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and
rents receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities, accrued offering
costs to Affiliates, accrued offering costs to non-Affiliates, accrued interest
payable to Affiliates, accrued real estate taxes, and distributions payable
approximate fair value because of the relative short maturity of these
instruments.
Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the 1995 presentation. Such reclassifications did not change the
1994 reported results.

and Antioch Plaza purchases, the Company will receive rent under master lease
agreements on the spaces currently vacant for periods ranging from one year to
eighteen months or until the spaces are leased. Generally Accepted Accounting

substantially completed. Master lease payments amounted to $98,804 and were
received through December 31, 1995, at which time the majority of tenants began
paying rent.

for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent, which is the
average monthly rent for the entire period of occupancy during the term of the
lease. The accompanying financial statements include an increase of $12,413 of
rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent increases
apply and $12,413 in related accounts receivable as of December 31, 1995.

(7) Subsequent Events
As of March 28, 1996, subscriptions for a total of 2,869,084 Shares were
received, bringing total Gross Offering Proceeds to $28,679,020.
The Company, through the Advisor, is currently completing its due diligence on
Regency Point and anticipates purchasing the property in March 1996 from a
third party unaffiliated with the Company for a purchase price of $5,700,000.
As part of the acquisition, it is anticipated the Company will assume the
existing first mortgage loan of approximately $4,473,200, along with a related
interest rate swap agreement. The remainder of the purchase price of
approximately $1,226,800 will be funded, after prorations, with proceeds of the
Offering.
The first mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of 180 basis points over
the 30-day LIBOR rate, which rate is adjusted monthly and amortizes over 25
years. The interest rate swap agreement, in conjunction with the first
mortgage, provides for Bank One, Chicago, to receive from or pay to the Company
the difference between 6.11% and the 30-day LIBOR rate, so that the first
mortgage loan has an effective fixed rate of 7.91% per annum. The first
mortgage loan matures in August 2000. The interest rate swap agreement expires
concurrently therewith.

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summaries are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and for inclusion in the Registration Statement of Form S-11 of
Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc. as described in Note 2. The presentation
is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Walgreens/Decatur Property

Walgreens/Decatur Property
Notes to Historical Summaries of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses
Years ended June 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992
1. Business
The Walgreens/Decatur Property (the Property) is a free-standing, single-
tenant retail property located in Decatur, Illinois. The Property consists
of 13,500 square feet of gross leasable area, and is leased to the
Walgreens Company (Walgreens). The Property is owned by Inland Property
Sales, Inc. (IPS).
2. Basis of Presentation
The Historical Summaries have been prepared for the purpose of complying
with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations S-X
and for inclusion in the Registration Statement on Form S-11 of Inland
Monthly Income Fund III, Inc. and are not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Walgreens/Decatur Property revenues and expenses. The
Historical Summaries have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
3. Gross Income
Walgreens leases the property under an operating lease agreement whereby
Walgreens is responsible for all operating expenses of the property except
for expenses related to the exterior and structural portions of the
building, roof and entryways. In addition, Walgreens reimburses the
Property for real estate taxes and is responsible for insurance on the
Property. The lease provides for payment of contingent rent based on a

gross leasable area and was 82.9 percent occupied at December 31, 1994.

The Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14
of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and for inclusion
in the Registration Statement on Form S-11 of Inland Monthly Income Fund
III, Inc. and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Nantucket
Square's revenues and expenses. The statement has been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting.
3. Gross Income
Nantucket Square leases retail space under various lease agreements with
its tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain of
the leases include provisions under which Nantucket Square is reimbursed
for certain common area, real estate and insurance costs. Operating
Expense and Real Estate Tax Recoveries reflected on the Statement of Gross
Income and Direct Operating Expenses includes amounts due for 1994 expenses
for which the tenants have not yet been billed. In addition, certain
leases provide for payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage
applied to the amount by which the tenant's sales, as defined, exceeds
predetermined levels. Contingent rent for the year ended December 31, 1994
was not material to base rental income. Certain leases contain renewal
options for various periods at various rental rates.
Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
receivable under the provision of the leases. However, rentals from
tenants with rent abatements or escalating rents during the lease term
should be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the
respective lease term. An adjustment to recognize rents on a straight-line
basis increased base rental income by $22,337 for the year ended December
31, 1994.

1. Business
Prospect Heights Plaza is located in Prospect Heights, Illinois. It
consists of approximately 27,830 square feet of gross leasable area and was
78% occupied at December 31, 1995. Prospect Heights Plaza is owned by
Amalgamated Bank of Chicago, Trust No. 5073. Amalgamated Bank of Chicago,
Trust No. 5073 has signed a sale and purchase agreement for the sale of
Prospect Heights Plaza to Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc.
2. Basis of Presentation
The Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14
of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and for inclusion
in the Registration Statement on Form S-11 of Inland Monthly Income Fund
III, Inc. and is not intended to be a complete presentation of revenues and
expenses. The Statement has been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
3. Gross Income
National Shopping Plazas, Inc. leases retail space under various lease
agreements with its tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating
leases. Certain of the leases include provisions under which Prospect
Heights Plaza is reimbursed for certain common area, real estate, and
insurance costs. Operating Expense and Real Estate Tax Recoveries
reflected on the Statement of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses
includes amounts due for 1995 expenses for which the tenants have not yet
been billed. Certain leases have rent due for the year ended December 31,
1995. Certain leases contain renewal options for various periods at
various rental rates.
Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
receivable under the provisions of the leases. However, when rentals vary
from a straight-line basis due to short-term rent abatements or escalating
rents during the lease term, the income is recognized based on effective
rental rates. The adjusted increase in base rental income is $11 for the
year ended December 31, 1995, which we consider immaterial.
Minimum rents to be received from tenants under operating leases in effect
at December 31, 1995 are approximately as follows:

Acquisition of Regency Point, Lockport, Illinois
As part of the acquisition, the Company will assume the existing first
mortgage loan of $4,473,200, along with a related interest rate swap
agreement.
The first mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of 180 basis points

rate swap agreement, in conjunction with the first mortgage, provides for
Bank One, Chicago, to receive from or pay to the Company the difference
between 6.11% and the 30-day LIBOR rate, so that the first mortgage loan
has an effective rate of 7.91% per annum. The pro forma adjustment for
interest expense for 1995 was estimated using the described loan terms.
The related interest rate swap agreement was terminated on April 18, 1996

March 31, 1996
(unaudited)
Acquisition of Regency Point, Lockport, Illinois
On April 5, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the Regency
Point from an unaffiliated third party for a purchase price of $5,700,000.
As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed the existing first mortgage
loan of $4,473,200 along with a related interest rate swap agreement, with
the balance funded with Offering Proceeds.
The first mortgage loan has a floating interest rate of 180 basis points
over the 30-day LIBOR rate, which rate is adjusted monthly. The interest
rate swap agreement, in conjunction with the first mortgage, provides for
Bank One, Chicago, to receive from or pay to the Company the difference
between 6.11% and the 30-day LIBOR rate, so that the first mortgage loan
has an effective rate of 7.91% per annum. The first mortgage loan matures
in August 2000. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated on April
18, 1996 resulting in $48,419 proceeds to the Company. No pro forma
adjustment has been made as a result of this termination.
Acquisition of Prospect Heights Plaza, Prospect Heights, Illinois
On June 17, 1996, the Company acquired Prospect Heights located in Prospect
Heights, Illinois ("Prospect Heights") from an unaffiliated third party for
the purchase price of $2,165,000 on an all cash basis, funded from Offering
proceeds.
Acquisition of Montgomery-Sears, Montgomery, Illinois
On June 17, 1996, the Company acquired Montgomery-Sears Shopping Center
located in Montgomery, Illinois ("Montgomery-Sears") from an unaffiliated
third party for the purchase price of $3,419,000 on an all cash basis,
funded from Offering proceeds.
Acquisition of the Zany Brainy Store, Wheaton, Illinois
The Company, through the Advisor, is currently completing its due diligence
and anticipates purchasing this property in July 1996 from an unaffiliated
third party for the purchase price of $2,455,000 on an all cash basis.
Additional Offering Proceeds
Additional Offering Proceeds of $10,670,432, net of additional Offering
costs of $1,493,860 are reflected as received as of March 31, 1996, prior
to the purchase of the properties. Offering costs consist principally of
registration costs, printing and selling costs, including commissions.
(C) This pro forma adjustment reflects the completion of the Company's Offering
of 6,000,000 Shares that commenced on October 14, 1994, net of additional
Offering costs of $949,432, as though this occurred on of March 31, 1996.
In addition, this pro forma adjustment reflects the completion of the
Company's Offering and sale of an additional 11,000,000 Shares, net of
Offering costs of $12,771,500, as though this also occurred on March 31,
1996.
(D) No pro forma assumptions have been made for the additional payment of
distributions resulting from the additional proceeds raised.

EXHIBIT A
PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES
The prior performance tables contain information concerning public real
estate limited partnerships sponsored by Affiliates of the Advisor. This
information has been summarized, in part, in narrative form under "Prior
Performance of the Company's Affiliates." The purpose of the tables is to
provide information on the performance of those partnerships in evaluating the
experience of the Affiliates of the Advisor as sponsors of such programs.
However, the inclusion of these tables does not imply that the Company will
make investments comparable to those reflected in the tables or that investors
in the Company will experience returns comparable to those experienced in the
programs referred to in these tables. Persons who purchase Shares in the
Company will not thereby acquire any ownership in any of the partnerships to
which these tables relate. The tables consist of:
Table I Experience in Raising and Investing Funds
Table II Compensation to IREIC and Affiliates
Table III Operating Results of Prior Programs
Table IV Results of Completed Programs
Table V Sales or Disposals of Properties
Table VI Acquisition of Properties by Programs*
* Prospective investors in the Company may obtain copies of Table VI by
contacting the Advisor.
Except with respect to Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P., Inland Land
Appreciation Fund II, L.P., and Inland Capital Fund, L.P. the partnerships
presented in the tables are public real estate limited partnerships formed
primarily to acquire, operate and sell existing residential and commercial real
properties. Generally, the investment objectives of those partnerships were as
follows:
(1) Capital appreciation; and
(2) Cash distributions for limited partners.
In addition, with respect to private limited partnerships, an objective
was the generation of tax loss deductions which generally will be used to
offset taxable income from other sources.
The Company's investment objectives are to: (i) provide regular
Distributions to Stockholders in amounts which may exceed the Company's taxable
income due to the non-cash nature of depreciation expense and, to such extent,
will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital, but in no event less than 95%
of the Company's taxable income, pursuant to the REIT qualification
requirements; (ii) provide a hedge against inflation by entering into leases
which contain clauses for scheduled rent escalations or participation in the
growth of tenant sales, permitting the Company to increase Distributions and
provide capital appreciation; and (iii) preserve Stockholders' capital.

NOTES TO TABLE III
(A) "Taxable income (loss)" represents the aggregate amounts shown on the
partnerships' tax returns for such years. One of the principal differences
between the tax basis of reporting and generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) is that depreciation is based upon the rates established by the
Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) for property placed in service after
January 1, 1981. Use of ACRS usually results in a higher charge against
operations than would be the result if the depreciation rate was based upon the
economic useful life as required by GAAP. Further, under GAAP, to the extent
that interest rates on notes received in connection with the sale of a property
are deemed to be below market interest rates at the date of sale, such notes
would be required to be discounted based upon market interest rates.
(B) See Table V and Notes thereto regarding sales and disposals of
properties.
(C) Fixed asset additions represent betterments and improvements to
properties which have been paid for from the operations of the respective
properties.
(D) Tax data per $1,000 is based on the income (loss) allocated to
investors for federal income tax purposes. Tax and distribution data per $1,000
invested is based on total capital raised.
(E) Taxable ordinary income from operations relating to Inland Monthly
Income Fund II, L.P. include taxable income at the limited partner level due to
taxable guaranteed payments relating to the IREIC's supplemental capital
contributions. A limited partner's basis in his partnership interest will be
increased by the amount of supplemental capital contributions allocated to him
and reduced by distributions from supplemental capital contributions. The
amount of supplemental capital contributions per $1,000 invested are $0 for
1989 through 1995 and $1 for 1988 for Inland Monthly Income Fund, II, L.P.
(F) Percent of properties remaining unsold represents original total
acquisition cost of properties retained divided by original total acquisition
cost of all properties in the program, plus the total of uninvested offering
proceeds (if any).

(G) "Cash Available (Deficiency) from Operations," represents all cash
revenues and funds received by the partnerships, including but not limited to
operating income less operating expenses, and interest income. These amounts do
not include payments made by the partnerships from offering proceeds nor do
they include proceeds from sales or refinancings. These amounts also exclude
advances from or repayments to IREIC and affiliates which are disclosed
elsewhere in the table and include principal payments on long-term debt. For

(H) IREIC was required to make supplemental capital contributions if
necessary, in sufficient amounts to allow the partnerships to make
distributions to limited partners equal to an 8% per annum non-compounded
return on their invested capital through August 4, 1993. The cumulative amounts
of such supplemental capital contributions for Monthly Income Fund II was
$30,155, which was repaid in 1993.
(I) Each entity established a unit repurchase program which provides
limited liquidity to eligible investors who have suffered severe adverse
financial conditions or who have died or become legally incapacitated. These
funds were utilized by the partnerships to repurchase units, on a limited
basis, for pre-determined amounts pursuant to the terms of the prospectus.
(J) Cash deficiencies for certain years are the result of (1) current year
distributions from operations that include a portion of accumulated cash flows
from operations of prior years or; (2) current year distributions from sales
which include proceeds relating to prior year property sales.

INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND III, INC.
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PROGRAM
Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
"Company"), pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated
to date (the "Articles") has adopted a Distribution Reinvestment Program (the
"DRP"), the terms and conditions of which are set forth below. Capitalized
terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Articles unless otherwise
defined herein.
1. As agent for the Stockholders who purchased Shares pursuant to
the Company's prior public offering which commenced October 14, 1994 and was
completed August __, 1996 (the "Prior Offering") and the current offering of
Shares by the Company pursuant to the prospectus dated August __, 1996 (the
"Offering") and elect to participate in the DRP (the "Participants"), the
Company will apply all distributions, paid with respect to the Shares held by
each Participant (the "Distributions"), including Distributions paid with
respect to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the DRP, to the
purchase of the Shares for said Participants directly, if permitted under state
securities laws and, if not, through the Dealer-Manager or Participating
Dealers registered in the Participant's state of residence. Neither the
Company nor its Affiliates will receive a fee for selling Shares under the DRP.
2. Procedure for Participation. Any Stockholder who purchased
Shares pursuant to the Company's Prior Offering or this Offering may elect to
become a Participant by completing and executing the Subscription Agreement or
other appropriate authorization form as may be available from the Company, the
Dealer-Manager or Soliciting Dealer. Participation in the DRP will begin with
the next Distribution payable after receipt of a Participant's subscription or
authorization. Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the record date for
the Distribution used to purchase the Shares. Distributions for Shares
acquired under the DRP are currently paid monthly and are calculated with a
daily record and Distribution declaration date. Each Participant agrees that
if, at any time prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange or
inclusion of the Shares for quotation on a national market system, he fails to
meet the suitability requirements for making an investment in the Company or
cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth in the
Subscription Agreement, he will promptly so notify the Company in writing.
3. Purchase of Shares. Participants will acquire Shares from the
Company at a fixed price of $9.05 per Share until the termination of the
Offering. Participants in the DRP may also purchase fractional Shares so that
100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. However, a
Participant will not be able to acquire Shares under the DRP to the extent such
purchase would cause it to exceed the Ownership Limit.
It is possible that a secondary market will develop for the Shares,
and that the Shares may be bought and sold on the secondary market at prices
lower or higher than the $9.05 per Share price which will be paid under the
DRP.
The Company shall endeavor to acquire Shares on behalf of Participants
at the lowest price then available. However, the Company does not guarantee or
warrant that the Participant will be acquiring Shares at the lowest
possible price.
If the Company's Shares are listed on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system, Shares purchased by the
Company for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market, at the
prevailing market price, and will be sold to Stockholders at such price. The
reservation of any Shares from this Offering remaining for issuance under the
DRP will be cancelled. The Shares will continue to have
B-1
<PAGE> 264
the status of authorized but unissued Shares. These Shares will not be issued
unless they are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") under the Act and under appropriate state securities laws or
are otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.
It is understood that reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve a
Participant of any income tax liability which may be payable on the
Distributions.
4. Share Certificates. Within 90 days after the end of the
Company's fiscal year, the Company will issue certificates evidencing ownership
of Shares purchased through the DRP during the prior fiscal year. The
ownership of the Shares will be in book-entry form prior to the issuance of
such certificates.
5. Reports. Within 90 days after the end of the Company's fiscal
year, the Company will provide each Participant with an individualized report
on his or her investment, including the purchase date(s), purchase price and
number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of distribution and amounts of
Distributions received during the prior fiscal year. The individualized
statement to Stockholders will include receipts and purchases relating to each
Participant's participation in the DRP including the tax consequences relative
thereto.
6. Termination by Participant. A Participant may terminate
participation in the DRP at any time, without penalty, by delivering to the
Company a written notice. Prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock
exchange or inclusion of the Shares for quotation on a national market system,
any transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will terminate
participation in the DRP with respect to the transferred Shares. IF a
Participant terminates DRP participation, the Company will provide the
terminating Participant with a certificate evidencing the whole shares in his
or her account and a check for the cash value of any fractional share in such
account. Upon termination of DRP participation, Distributions will be
distributed to the Stockholder in cash.
7. Amendment or Termination of DRP by the Company. The Directors
of the Company may by majority vote (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) amend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon 30 days' written
notice to the Participants.
8. Liability of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for
any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including,
without limitation, any claims or liability: (a) arising out of failure to
terminate a Participant's account upon such Participant's death prior to
receipt of notice in writing of such death; and (b) with respect to the time
and the prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant's
account. To the extent that indemnification may apply to liabilities arising
under the Act or the securities act of a state, the Company has been advised
that, in the opinion of the Commission and certain state securities
commissioners, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and,
therefore, unenforceable.
9. Governing Law. This DRP shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Maryland.

which was effective without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), in reliance upon the exemption from registration in

May 25, 1994 the Advisor purchased an additional 19,900 Shares at a price of
$10 per Share, paid in cash. No sales commission or other consideration was
paid in connection with such sale, and the sale was made in reliance upon the
exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Act.
Options to purchase up to 10,000 Shares have been granted as of the date

<PAGE> 270
ITEM 33. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement and Amended and
Restated Bylaws authorize it, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland
statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with Section 2-418 of the
Maryland General Corporation Law, to indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses to: any Director, Advisor or its Affiliates (each an "Indemnified
Party"), provided, that: (i) the Director, Advisor or its Affiliates have
determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or
liability was in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the Director, the
Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services on
the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of
negligence or misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party, except that in
the event the Indemnified Party is or was an Independent Director, such
liability or loss shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the
Stockholders. The Company shall not indemnify a Director, the Advisor or its
Affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one
or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the
request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") and the published opinions of the Tennessee
Securities Division and any other state securities regulatory authority in
which securities of the Company were offered and sold as to indemnification for
securities law violations.
The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification
hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any
legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or
omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the
indemnified party for or on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is
initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is
initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of
competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the
indemnified party receiving such advances undertakes to repay the advanced
funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest
thereon, in cases in which such party is found not to be entitled to
indemnification.
The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of an indemnified party against any liability asserted which was
incurred in any such capacity with the Company or arising out of such status;
provided, however, that the Company shall not incur the costs of any liability
insurance which insures any person against liability for which he, she or it
could not be indemnified under the Articles.
Neither the amendment nor the adoption of any other provision of the
Articles or the Bylaws shall apply to or affect in any respect the
applicability of indemnification with respect to any act or failure to act
which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.
To the extent that the indemnification may apply to liabilities arising
under the Act, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore,
unenforceable.

each commitment (i.e., the signing of a binding purchase agreement) made after
the end of the distribution period involving the use of 10 % or more (on a
cumulative basis) of the net proceeds of the offering and to provide the
information contained in such report to the Stockholders at least once each
quarter after the distribution period of the offering has ended.
G. 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 of 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

<PAGE> 276
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 Prospectus and represented by management) has enabled and will
enable it to satisfy the REIT Requirements (as defined in the
Prospectus).

of interested limited to identifying the Offering and the location of
sources of further information. Use of any sales literature is
conditioned upon filing with and, if required, clearance by

of the materials has passed on the merits of the Offering or the
adequacy or accuracy of the sales materials. Except as described
herein, the Company has not authorized the use of other supplemental
literature or sales material in connection with this Offering.
Although it is believed that the information contained in the sales

incorporated in the Prospectus by reference, or as forming the basis
of the Offering.
4
<PAGE> 6
(l) Authorization of the Shares. The Company has an
authorized and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus. The sale of the Shares has
been duly and validly authorized by the Company, and when
subscriptions for the Shares have been accepted by the Company as
contemplated in the Prospectus and the Shares have been issued to the
respective subscribers, the Shares will represent ownership in the
Company and will conform to the description thereof contained in the
Prospectus. Stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or
subscribe for securities of the Company, and the Shares are not
convertible or subject to redemption at the option of the Company.
The Shares are entitled to one vote per Share and do not have
cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any
class of capital stock of the Company having any preference or
priority over the Shares, the Stockholders are entitled to
distributions in such amounts as may be declared by the Board of
Directors from time to time out of funds legally available for such
payments and, in the event of liquidation, to share ratably in any
assets of the Company remaining after payment in full of all creditors
and provisions for any liquidation preferences on any outstanding
preferred stock ranking prior to the Shares.
2. Offering and Sale of the Shares. On the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and subject to the
terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby appoints you as its
exclusive Dealer Manager to solicit and to cause other dealers (as described in
subparagraph (a) below) to solicit subscriptions for the Shares at the
subscription price and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in the
Prospectus and in the Subscription Agreement, and you agree to use your best
efforts as such Dealer Manager to procure subscribers for 10,000,000 Shares,
during the period commencing with the Effective Date and ending on the
Termination Date (the "Offering Period"). The number of Shares, if any, to be
reserved for sale by each Soliciting Dealer may be decided by the mutual
agreement, from time to time, of you and the Company. In the absence of such
mutual agreement, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(b)
hereof, accept Subscription Agreements based upon a first-come, first accepted
reservation or other similar method.
(a) Soliciting Dealers. The Shares offered and sold
through you under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by you
and, at your sole option, any other securities dealers (collectively
the "Soliciting Dealers"), each of whom are members of the NASD,
executing agreements with you substantially in the form of the
Soliciting Dealers Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Subscription Agreements and Subscribers' Funds. Each
person desiring to purchase Shares through you or any other Soliciting
Dealer will be required to complete and execute the Subscription
Agreement and to deliver such document to you or such Soliciting
Dealer, together with a check payable to the order of "LNB, Escrow
Agent for MIFIII" in the amount of $10 per Share.
Each Soliciting Dealer shall forward any such
Subscription Agreement and check to you not later than noon of the
next business day after receipt of such
5
<PAGE> 7
Subscription Agreement and if the Soliciting Dealer conducts its
internal supervisory procedures at the location where the Subscription
Agreement and check were initially received. When such internal
supervisory procedures are performed at a different location (the
"Final Review Office"), the Subscription Agreement and check must be
transmitted to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business
day following receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check by the
Soliciting Dealer. The Final Review Office will, by the next business
day following receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check, forward
both to you as processing broker-dealer in order that you may complete
your review of the documentation and process the Subscription
Agreement and check. The Company will have representatives available
to review the Subscription Agreement at your location in order to
determine whether it wishes to accept the proposed purchaser as a
Stockholder, it being understood that the Company reserves the
unconditional right to reject the tender of any Subscription Agreement
and to reject all tenders after 11,000,000 Shares have been sold. Any
check received by you directly or as processing broker-dealer from the
Soliciting Dealers will, in all cases, be forwarded to the Escrow
Agent as soon as practicable, but in any event by the end of the
second business day following receipt by you of the Subscription
Agreement and check. Should the Company determine to reject the
tender of any Subscription Agreement, the Company will promptly notify
you or such Soliciting Dealer of such determination, and you shall
send the check and the Subscription Agreement to the Escrow Agent with
directions to promptly return both to the rejected subscriber. All
subscription funds may be deposited directly with the Company.
Nothing contained in this Section 2 shall be
construed to impose upon the Company the responsibility of assuring
that prospective purchasers meet the suitability standards contained
in the Prospectus or to relieve you or any of the Soliciting Dealers
of the responsibility of complying with the Conduct Rules of the NASD.
(c) Termination of the Offering. The Offering Period
will terminate on a date on or before one year from the date of the
Prospectus (subject to requalification in certain states, the Company
may extend the Offering Period from time to time, but no event for
longer than two years from the date of the original Prospectus),
subject in any event to the Company's right to terminate the Offering
at any time (the "Termination Date") and the proceeds will be applied
as set forth in the Prospectus.
(d) Dealer-Manager Compensation.
(i) The Company agrees to pay to you a sales
commission of up to 7% of the sales price (or up to $.70) for each
Share sold, as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Plan of
Distribution", subject to the limitation described below, as well as
one Soliciting Dealer Warrant for every 40 Shares sold, of which such
compensation may be retained or reallowed, subject to federal and
state securities laws, to the Soliciting Dealer who sold the Shares as
described more fully in the Soliciting Dealers Agreement. Soliciting
Dealer Warrants shall not be reallowed to Soliciting Dealers
registered in South
6
<PAGE> 8
Carolina selling Shares to residents of South Carolina. You will also
receive a marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance
fee equal to 2.5% of the sale price, some portion of which may be
reallowed to the Soliciting Dealers.
Commissions will be reduced for obtaining
subscriptions from Stockholders, in accordance with the following:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Maximum

Amount of Purchaser's Investment Per Share
-------------------------------- ----------

<S> <C> <C>

</TABLE>
Any reduction from the amount otherwise
payable to you and reallowable to a Soliciting Dealer in respect of a
purchaser's subscription will be credited to such purchaser in the
form of additional whole or fractional Shares purchased net of
commissions.
Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose
of crediting a purchaser with additional Shares and determining
commissions payable to you and reallowable to Soliciting Dealers so
long as all such purchases are made through the same Soliciting Dealer
and approved by the Company. Tax-exempt entities may be combined in
computing amounts invested only if they each have the same person who
exercises investment discretion. The Subscription Agreement Signature
Page must indicate that subscriptions are to be combined. The Company
cannot be held responsible for failing to properly combine
subscriptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect
to particular Shares if the Company rejects a proposed subscriber's
Subscription Agreement.
(ii) The sales commissions to you shall be paid on
a monthly basis, substantially concurrently with the acceptance of a
subscriber as a Stockholder by the Company, an amount equal to the
sales commissions payable with respect to such Shares.
3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and
agrees with you as follows:
7
<PAGE> 9
(a) Registration Statement. The Company will use its
best efforts to cause the Registration Statement and any subsequent
amendments thereto to become effective as promptly as possible and
will not, at any time after the Effective Date of the Registration
Statement, file any amendment to the Registration Statement or
supplement to the Prospectus of which you shall not previously have
been advised and furnished a copy at a reasonable time prior to the
proposed filing or to which you shall have reasonably objected or
which is not, to the best of the Company's knowledge, in compliance
with the Act and the Rules and Regulations; the Company will prepare
and file with the Commission and will use its best efforts to cause to
become effective as promptly as possible:
(i) any amendments to the Registration Statement
or supplements to the Prospectus which may be required pursuant to the
undertakings in the Registration Statement; and
(ii) upon your reasonable request, any amendments
to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which,
in the opinion of you or your counsel, may be necessary or advisable

obtains knowledge thereof, it will advise you of any request made by
the Commission for amending the Registration Statement, supplementing
the Prospectus or for additional information, or of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop statement or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of the Prospectus or the institution of any
proceedings for that purpose, and will use its best efforts to prevent
the issuance of any such order and, if any such order is issued, to

purpose. The Company will, at your request, furnish you copies of all
material documents and correspondence sent to or received from such

the Company obtains knowledge thereof when the Shares are qualified
for offering and sale in each such jurisdiction. The Company will
promptly advise you of any request made by the securities
administrators of each such jurisdiction for revising the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information or of the
issuance by such securities administrators of any stop order
preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or of the
institution of any proceedings for that purpose, and will use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and if any such

to reflect changes or additions to the information disclosed in such
survey.
(d) Amendments and Supplements. If at any time when a
Prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under
the Act, any event shall have occurred to the knowledge of the Company
as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented
would include any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is so
required to be delivered to a subscriber, or if it is necessary at any
time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus
relating to the Shares to comply with the Act, the Company will
promptly notify you thereof and will prepare and file with the
Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such
statement or effect such compliance.
(e) Copies of Registration Statement. The Company will
furnish you copies of the Registration Statement (only one of which
need be signed and need include all exhibits), the Prospectus and all
amendments and supplements thereto, including any amendment or
supplement prepared after the Effective Date, and such other
information with respect to the Company as you may from time to time
reasonably request, in each case as soon as available and in such
quantities as you may reasonably request.
(f) Qualification to Transact Business. The Company will
take all steps necessary to ensure that at all times the Company will
be validly existing as a corporation and will be qualified to do
business in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of its business
requires such qualification and where such qualification is required
under local law.
(g) Authority to Perform Agreements. The Company
undertakes to obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations or orders
of any court or governmental agency or body which are required for the
performance of this Agreement and under the Organizational Documents
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, respectively, or the conducting by the Company of the
business described in the Prospectus.

otherwise) filed with the Commission; and

from the sale of the Shares as stated in the Prospectus or, if for any
reason whatsoever all or a portion of the proceeds of the Offering are
not applied or committed for use as stated within 12 months of the
Termination Date, the Company shall promptly return those proceeds
from the sale of the Shares not so applied or committed as stated in
the Prospectus to the subscribers, each subscriber sharing in the
return in the ratio that the number of the Shares owned by such
subscriber bears to the total number of the Shares owned by all
subscribers.
(j) Organization and Offering Expenses. In no event
shall the total of the organizational expenses and expenses of the
Offering to be paid directly by the Company exceed 15% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering.
4. Covenants of the Dealer Manager. You covenant and
agree with the Company on your behalf and on behalf of the Soliciting Dealers
as follows:
(a) Compliance with Laws. With respect to your
participation and the participation by each Soliciting Dealer in the
offer and sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, any
resales and transfers of Shares), you agree, and each Soliciting
Dealer agrees, to comply and shall comply with any applicable
requirements of the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the published rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, and the applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the
Conduct Rules of the NASD, specifically including, but not in any way
limited to, Rules 2440, 2730, 2740, and 2750 therein. In particular,
you agree not to deliver the sales literature to any person prior to
the Effective Date and, after the Effective Date, not to deliver the
sales literature to any person unless the sales literature is
accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus. In addition, you shall, in
accordance with applicable law or any state securities administrator,
provide or cause Soliciting Dealers to provide to any prospective
investor copies of any document which is part of the Registration
Statement; including, without limitation, the Articles and Bylaws to
Mississippi and Ohio investors.
With respect to your and each Soliciting Dealer's
participation in any resales or transfers of the Shares, you agree,
and each Soliciting Dealer agrees, to comply and shall comply with any
applicable requirements, as set forth above. In addition, you and
each Soliciting Dealer agree that should you assist with the resale or
transfer of the Shares, you and each Soliciting Dealer will fulfill
the obligations pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 4(d) of Rule 2810 of the
Conduct Rules of the NASD.
(b) No Additional Information. In offering the Shares
for sale, you and each Soliciting Dealer shall not give or provide any
information or make any representation
10
<PAGE> 12
other than those contained in the Prospectus, the sales literature or
any other document provided to you for such purpose by the Company.
(c) Sales of Shares. You and each Soliciting Dealer
shall solicit purchases of the Shares only in the jurisdictions in
which you and such Soliciting Dealer are legally qualified to so act
and in which you and each Soliciting Dealer have been advised by the
Company that such solicitations can be made.
(d) Subscription Agreement. Subscriptions will be
submitted by you and each Soliciting Dealer to the Company only on the
form which is included in Exhibit I to the Prospectus. You and each
Soliciting Dealer understand and acknowledge that the Subscription
Agreement must be executed and initialled by the subscriber.
(e) Suitability. In offering the Shares to any person,
you and each Soliciting Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to
believe (based on such information as the investment objectives, other
investments, financial situation and needs of the person or any other
information known by you after due inquiry) that: (i) such person has
the capability of understanding the fundamental aspects of the
Company, which capacity may be evidenced by the following: (A) the
nature of employment experience; (B) educational level achieved; (C)
access to advice from qualified sources, such as attorneys,
accountants, tax advisors, etc.; and (D) prior experience with
investments of a similar nature; (ii) such person has apparent
understanding of: (A) the fundamental risks and possible financial
hazards of this type of investment; (B) the lack of liquidity of this
investment; (C) the Advisor's role in directing or managing the
investment; and (D) the tax consequences of the investment; and (iii)
such person has the financial capability to invest in the Company and
you or each Soliciting Dealer (as the case may be) shall maintain
records disclosing the basis upon which you and each Soliciting Dealer
determined the suitability of any persons offered Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and each Soliciting Dealer shall
have reasonable grounds to believe that such person has either: (a) a
minimum annual gross income of $45,000 and a net worth (exclusive of
home, home furnishing and automobiles) of $45,000; or (b) a net worth
(determined with the foregoing exclusions) of $150,000. Suitability
standards may be higher in certain states as set forth in the
Subscription Agreement. You and/or the Soliciting Dealers shall
maintain for at least six years a record of the information obtained
to determine that an investor meets the suitability standards imposed
on the offer and sale of the Shares (both at the time of the initial
subscription and at the time of any additional subscriptions) and a
representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the
investor's own account or, in lieu of such representation, information
indicating that the investor for whose account the investment was made
met the suitability standards.
(f) Due Diligence. Prior to offering the Shares for
sale, you and each Soliciting Dealer shall have conducted an inquiry
such that you have reasonable grounds to believe, based on information
made available to you by the Company through the Prospectus or other
materials, that all material facts are adequately and accurately
11
<PAGE> 13
disclosed and provide a basis for evaluating the purchase of the
Shares. In determining the adequacy of disclosed facts pursuant to
the foregoing, you and each Soliciting Dealer may obtain, upon
request, information on material facts relating at a minimum to the
following:
(1) items of compensation;
(2) Company properties;
(3) tax aspects;
(4) conflicts and risk factors; and
(5) appraisals and other pertinent reports.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and each Soliciting Dealer may rely upon the
results of an inquiry conducted by another Soliciting Dealer, provided that:
(i) such Soliciting Dealer has reasonable grounds
to believe that such inquiry was conducted with due care;
(ii) the results of the inquiry were provided to
you with the consent of the Soliciting Dealer conducting or directing
the inquiry; and
(iii) no Soliciting Dealer that participated in the
inquiry is an affiliate of the Company or the Advisor.
Prior to the sale of the Shares, you and each Soliciting Dealer shall inform
the prospective purchaser of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and
marketability of the Shares during the term of the investment.
5. Expenses. The Company agrees with you that, whether
or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated, the
Company will pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to:
(a) the Commission's registration fee;
(b) expenses of printing the Registration Statement, the

and sale under state blue sky and securities laws, and expenses in
connection with the preparation and printing of the Blue Sky Survey.
In no event, however, will the total of: (a) the selling
commissions paid to the Soliciting Dealers; (b) the marketing contribution and
due diligence expense allowance fee paid to the Soliciting Dealers; and (c)
reimbursement of certain expenses to be paid to Soliciting Dealers for special
incentive marketing programs as described in the Prospectus, exceed 10.5% of
the gross proceeds of the Offering.
6. Conditions of Obligations. Your obligations
hereunder shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties on the part of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof, the
accuracy of the statements of the Company made pursuant to the provisions
hereof, to the performance by the Company of its covenants, agreements and
obligations contained in Sections 3 and 5 hereof, and to the following
additional conditions:
(a) Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The
Registration Statement shall have become effective not later than 5:00
p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the day following the date of this
Agreement, or such later time and date as you and the Company shall
have agreed; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the

knowledge of the Company or you, no proceedings for that purpose shall
have been instituted, threatened or contemplated by the Commission;
and any request by the Commission for additional information (to be
included in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or otherwise)
shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of you or
your counsel.
(b) Accuracy of Registration Statement. You shall not
have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, or any amendment or any supplement thereto, in the

the statements therein not misleading.
13
<PAGE> 15
7. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
you, each Soliciting Dealer and each person, if any, who controls you
or any Soliciting Dealer within the meaning of the Act (collectively,
the "Indemnified Parties"), against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense whatsoever caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Such indemnification shall be subject to the provisions
of Sections 7(b) and (c) of this Agreement.
The Company shall not provide indemnification for any
liability or loss suffered by you, nor shall it provide that you be
held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company unless
all of the following conditions are met: (i) the party seeking
indemnification has determined, in good faith, that its course of
conduct, if such course of conduct caused the loss or liability, was
in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the other person seeking
indemnification was acting on behalf of or performing services on the
part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result
of negligence or misconduct on the part of the indemnified party; and
(iv) such indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the
Stockholders.
In no case shall the Company be liable under this
indemnity agreement with respect to any claim made against any of the
Indemnified Parties unless the Company shall be notified in writing
(as provided in Section 10) of the nature of the claim within a
reasonable time after the assertion thereof, but failure to so notify
the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the
Company may have incurred otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement. The Company shall be entitled to participate, at its own
expense, in the defense of, or if it so elects within a reasonable
time after receipt of such notice, to assume the defense of any claim
or suit for which the Indemnified Parties seek indemnification
hereunder. If the Company elects to assume the defense, such defense
shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Company elects to
assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the
Company shall not be liable to the Indemnified Parties in the suit
under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties shall
bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel thereafter
retained by the Indemnified Parties unless: (A) the employment of
counsel by the Indemnified Party has been authorized by the Company;
or (B) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume
the defense of such action, in any of which events such fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Company.
14
<PAGE> 16
The Company may advance amounts to the Indemnified
Parties for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of
any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all
of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action
relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties
or services by the indemnified party for or on behalf of the Company;
(ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a
Stockholder and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically
approves such advancement; and (iii) the Indemnified Parties receiving
such advances undertake to repay the advanced funds to the Company,
together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases
in which such Indemnified Parties are found not to be entitled to
indemnification.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
you or any Soliciting Dealer specifically for use with reference to
you or such Soliciting Dealer in the preparation of the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereof) or the Prospectus (or any
supplement thereto). The foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to
the condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement,
alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in the
Prospectus but eliminated or remedied in any amendment or supplement
thereto, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to your benefit or
any Soliciting Dealer from whom the person asserting any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense purchased the Shares which are the
subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person who controls you or
any Soliciting Dealer), if a copy of the Prospectus as so amended or
supplemented was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the
time the subscription of such person was accepted by the Company but
only if a copy of the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) has
been supplied by the Company to you or any Soliciting Dealer prior to
such acceptance. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you
and the Soliciting Dealers in the manner and to the extent provided in
subparagraph (a) of this Section 7; provided, however, that no such
indemnification by the Company of you or a Soliciting Dealer shall be
permitted under this Agreement from or out of an alleged violation of
federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following
conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on
the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations
by you or any Soliciting Dealer and a court of competent jurisdiction
has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; (ii) such claims
against you or any Soliciting Dealer have been dismissed with
prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
particular indemnitee and the court has approved indemnification of
the litigation costs; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims against you or any Soliciting
Dealer and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related
costs should be made and the
15
<PAGE> 17
court considering the request has been advised of the position of the
Commission and of the published positions of the Tennessee Securities
Division and any other state securities regulatory authority in which
securities of the Company were offered and sold as to indemnification
for securities law violations.
(c) You and each Soliciting Dealer agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act and any controlling person of
the Company: (i) to the same extent as in the foregoing indemnity
from the Company to you and each Soliciting Dealer but only with
reference to statements or omissions based upon the information
relating to you or any Soliciting Dealer furnished in writing by you
or such Soliciting Dealer or on your or their behalf expressly for use
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto; and (ii) for any violation by you or any
Soliciting Dealer, in the sale of the Shares, of any applicable state
or federal law or any rule, regulation or instruction thereunder,
provided that such violation is not in reliance on any violation by
the Company of such law, rule, regulation or instruction.
You and each Soliciting Dealer further agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any controlling person of
the Company against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses to which the Company or any such controlling person may
become subject under the securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdiction insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses (or actions, proceedings or investigations in respect
thereof) arise by reason of a sale of the Shares through the efforts
of you (with respect to sales effected without the assistance of a
Soliciting Dealer) or a Soliciting Dealer (with respect to sales
effected by such Soliciting Dealer) which is effected other than in
accordance with the Blue Sky Survey supplied to you by the Company (a
"Non-Permitted Sale"), whether such Non-Permitted Sale is caused by a
sale in a jurisdiction other than those specified in the Blue Sky
Survey, by a sale in a jurisdiction in which you or the Soliciting
Dealer is not registered to sell the Shares or which results in a sale
in a jurisdiction in excess of the number of Shares permitted to be
sold in such jurisdiction, and will reimburse the Company or any such
controlling person for any legal fees, monetary penalties or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with
investigating, curing or defending against any such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, actions, proceedings or investigations.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
you or any Soliciting Dealer may otherwise have.
(d) The notice provisions contained in Section 7(a)
hereof, relating to notice to the Company, shall be equally applicable
to you and each Soliciting Dealer if the Company or any controlling
person of the Company seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 7(c)
hereof. In addition, you and each Soliciting Dealer may participate
in the defense, or assure the defense, of any such suit so brought
under Section 7(c) hereof and have the same rights and privileges as
the Company enjoys with respect to such suits under Section 7(a)
hereof.

INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND III, INC.
SOLICITING DEALERS AGREEMENT
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have entered into an agreement (the "Dealer Manager Agreement")
which is a part hereof and attached hereto, with Inland Monthly Income Fund
III, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), under which we have agreed
to use our best efforts to solicit subscriptions for the shares of Common Stock
(the "Shares") in the Company. The Company is offering to the public an
aggregate maximum of 10,000,000 Shares at a price of $10 per Share and
1,000,000 Shares under the Distribution Reinvestment Program at a price of
$9.05 per Share (as defined in the Prospectus) (the "Offering").
In connection with the performance of our obligations under Section 2
of the Dealer Manager Agreement, we are authorized to use the services of
securities dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "Soliciting Dealers") to solicit subscriptions. You are
hereby invited to become a Soliciting Dealer and, as such, to use your best
efforts to solicit subscribers for Shares, in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:
1. A registration statement (the "Registration
Statement") with respect to 11,000,000 Shares has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and has become effective. The 11,000,000
Shares and the Offering are more particularly described in the enclosed
prospectus (the "Prospectus") which is part of the Registration Statement.
Additional copies of the Prospectus will be supplied to you in reasonable
quantities upon request. We will also provide you with reasonable quantities
of any supplemental literature prepared by the Company in connection with the
offering of the Shares.
2. Solicitation and other activities by the Soliciting
Dealers hereunder shall be undertaken only in accordance with the Dealer
Manager Agreement, this Agreement, the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission, the Blue Sky Survey hereinafter referred to and the Conduct
Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"),
specifically including, but not in any way limited to, Rules 2440, 2730, 2740,
and 2750. In offering the sale of Shares to any person, each Soliciting Dealer
shall have reasonable grounds to believe (based on such information as the
investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the
person or any other information known by you after due inquiry) that: (i) such
person is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable such person
to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus and
has a net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in the program,
including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; (ii) the purchase of the
Shares is otherwise suitable for such person, and each Soliciting Dealer shall
maintain records disclosing the basis upon which each Soliciting Dealer
determined the suitability of any persons offered Shares; and (iii) such person
has either: (a) a minimum annual gross income of $45,000 and a
<PAGE> 3
net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $45,000; or
(b) a net worth (determined with the foregoing exclusions) of $150,000.
Each Soliciting Dealer agrees: (i) to deliver to each person
who subscribes for the Shares, a Prospectus, as then supplemented or amended,
prior to the tender of his subscription agreement (the "Subscription
Agreement"); (ii) to comply promptly with the written request of any person for
a copy of the Prospectus during the period between the effective date of the
Registration Statement and the later of the termination of the distribution of
the Shares or the expiration of 90 days after the first date upon which the
Shares were offered to the public; (iii) deliver in accordance with applicable
law or as prescribed by any state securities administrator to any person a copy
of any document included within the Registration Statement, including
delivering the Articles and Bylaws (as each is defined in the Prospectus) to
Mississippi and Ohio investors; and (iv) to maintain in its files for at least
six years, documents disclosing the basis upon which the determination of
suitability was reached as to each purchaser of Shares.
3. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein
and in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company shall pay to you a selling
commission of up to 7% per Share for all Shares sold for which you have acted
as Soliciting Dealer pursuant to this Agreement. Soliciting Dealers will also
receive, subject to applicable federal and state securities laws, one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by such Soliciting Dealer
during the Offering (the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants"). The Soliciting Dealer
Warrants will be issued quarterly commencing 60 days after the date on which
Sharees are first sold pursuant to the Offering. Soliciting Dealer Warrants
shall not be issued to Soliciting Dealers registered in South Carolina selling
Shares to residents of South Carolina. All Shares sold by the Company, other
than through the Distribution Reinvestment Program, will be included in the
computation of the number of Shares sold to determine the number of Soliciting
Dealer Warrants to be issued. The holder of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will
be entitled to purchase one Share from the Company at a price of $12 (120% of
the initial public offering price per Share) during the time period beginning
one year from the date the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and ending
October 13, 2000 (the "Exercise Period"). If a Soliciting Dealer Warrant has
not been exercised by the end of the Exercise Period, it will terminate and the
holder thereof will have no further rights thereunder. Soliciting Dealers
should consult their tax advisors regarding the income tax aspects of receiving
the Soliciting Dealer Warrants.
Commissions will be reduced below 7% for obtaining
subscriptions from stockholders in accordance with the following:

Any reduction from the 7% commission otherwise payable to you
in respect of a subscription will be credited to such purchaser in the form of
additional whole Shares or fractional Shares purchased net of commissions.
Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of crediting a
purchaser with additional Shares and determining commissions reallowable to you
so long as all such purchases are made through you and approved by the Company.
Tax-exempt entities may be combined in computing accounts invested only if they
each have the same person who exercises investment discretion. The
Subscription Agreement Signature Page (as such term is defined in the
Prospectus) must indicate that subscriptions are to be combined. The Company
cannot be held responsible for failing to properly combine subscriptions.
You (and other Soliciting Dealers) also may receive up to an
additional 2.5% per Share sold by you as a marketing contribution and due
diligence expense allowance fee.
Employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates
will be permitted to purchase Shares net of sales commissions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed
that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular Shares if the
Company rejects a proposed subscriber's Subscription Agreement.
4. We reserve the right to notify you by telegram or by other
means of the number of Shares reserved for sale by you. Such Shares will be
reserved for sale by you until the time specified in our notification to you.
Sales of any reserved Shares after the time specified in the notification to
you or any requests for additional Shares will be subject to rejection in whole
or in part.
5. Payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to "LNB,
Escrow Agent for MIFIII" and forwarded together with a copy of the Subscription
Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit I to the Prospectus, executed by the
subscriber, to Inland Securities Corporation, 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook,
Illinois 60521, not later than noon of the next business day after receipt of
such Subscription Agreement and check (when your internal supervisory
procedures are completed at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and
check were
3
<PAGE> 5
received by you) or, when your internal supervisory procedures are performed at
a different location (the "Final Review Office"), you shall transmit the check
and Subscription Agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next
business day following your receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check.
The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its
receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check, forward both to the Dealer
Manager as processing broker-dealer. If any Subscription Agreement solicited
by you is rejected by the Company, the Subscription Agreement and check will be
forwarded to the Escrow Agent for prompt return to the rejected subscriber.
6. We will inform you as to the jurisdictions in which we have
been advised by the Company that the Shares have been qualified for sale or are
exempt under the respective securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions; but we have not assumed and will not assume any obligation or
responsibility as to your right to act as a broker with respect to the Shares
in any such jurisdiction. You agree that you will not make any offers except
in states in which we may advise you that the Offering has been qualified or is
exempt and further agree to assure that each person to whom you sell Shares (at
both the time of the initial purchase as well as at the time of any subsequent
purchases) meets any special suitability standards which apply to sales in a
particular jurisdiction, as described in the Blue Sky Survey and the
Subscription Agreement. Neither we nor the Company assume any obligation or
responsibility in respect of the qualification of the Shares covered by the
Prospectus under the laws of any jurisdiction or your qualification to act as a
broker with respect to the Shares in any jurisdiction. The Blue Sky Survey
which has been or will be furnished to you indicates the jurisdictions in which
it is believed that the offer and sale of Shares covered by the Prospectus is
exempt from, or requires action under, the applicable blue sky or securities
laws thereof, and what action, if any, has been taken with respect thereto.
It is understood and agreed that under no circumstances will
you, as a Soliciting Dealer, engage in any activities hereunder in any
jurisdiction in which you may not lawfully so engage or in any activities in
any jurisdiction with respect to the Shares in which you may lawfully so engage
unless you have complied with the provisions hereof.
7. Neither you nor any other person is authorized by the Company
or by us to give any information or make any representations in connection with
this Agreement or the offer of Shares other than those contained in the
Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, or any sales literature approved
by us and the Company. You agree not to publish, circulate or otherwise use
any other advertisement or solicitation material without our prior written
approval. You are not authorized to act as our agent in any respect, and you
agree not to act as such agent and not to purport to act as such agent.
8. We shall have full authority to take such action as we may
deem advisable with respect to all matters pertaining to the Offering or
arising thereunder. We shall not be under any liability (except for our own
want of good faith and for obligations expressly assumed by us hereunder) for
or in respect of the validity or value of or title to, the Shares; the form of,
or the statements contained in, or the validity of, the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus or any
4
<PAGE> 6
amendment or supplement thereto, or any other instrument executed by Inland
Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., the Company's advisor (the "Advisor"), the
Company or by others; the form or validity of the Dealer Manager Agreement or
this Agreement; the delivery of the Shares; the performance by the Advisor, the
Company or by others of any agreement on its or their part; the qualification
of the Shares for sale under the laws of any jurisdiction; or any matter in
connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to relieve the Company or the undersigned from any
liability imposed by the Act. No obligations on the part of the Company or the
undersigned shall be implied or inferred herefrom.
9. Under the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company has agreed to
indemnify you and us and each person, if any, who controls you or us, in
certain instances and against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Act in certain circumstances. You agree to indemnify the Company and each
person who controls it as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement and to
indemnify us to the extent and in the manner that you agree to indemnify the
Company in such Dealer Manager Agreement.
10. Each Soliciting Dealer hereby authorizes and ratifies the
execution and delivery of the Dealer Manager Agreement by us as Dealer Manager
for ourselves and on behalf of the Soliciting Dealers and authorizes us to
agree to any variation of its terms or provisions and to execute and deliver
any amendment, modification or supplement thereto. Each Soliciting Dealer
hereby agrees to be bound by all provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement
relating to Soliciting Dealers. Each Soliciting Dealer also authorizes us to
exercise, in our discretion, all the authority or discretion now or hereafter
vested in us by the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement and to take all
such action as we may believe desirable in order to carry out the provisions of
the Dealer Manager Agreement and of this Agreement.
11. This Agreement, except for the provisions of Sections 8 and 9
hereof, may be terminated at any time by either party hereto by two days' prior
written notice to the other party and, in all events, this Agreement shall
terminate on the termination date of the Dealer Manager Agreement, except for
the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof.
12. Any communications from you should be in writing addressed to
us at Inland Securities Corporation, 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois
60521, Attention: Ms. Roberta Matlin. Any notice from us to you shall be
deemed to have been duly given if mailed, telegraphed or delivered by overnight
courier to you at your address shown below.
13. Nothing herein contained shall constitute the Soliciting
Dealers or any of them as an association, partnership, limited liability
company, unincorporated business or other separate entity.
14. Prior to offering the Shares for sale, each Soliciting Dealer
shall have conducted an inquiry such that you have reasonable grounds to
believe, based on information made available to you by the Company or the
Advisor through the Prospectus or other materials, that all material facts are
adequately and accurately disclosed and provide a basis for evaluating a
purchase of
5
<PAGE> 7
Shares. In determining the adequacy of disclosed facts pursuant to the
foregoing, each Soliciting Dealer may obtain, upon request, information on
material facts relating at a minimum to the following:
(1) items of compensation;
(2) physical properties;
(3) tax aspects;
(4) financial stability and experience of the Company and
the Advisor;
(5) conflicts and risk factors; and
(6) appraisals and other pertinent reports.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Soliciting Dealer may rely upon the results
of an inquiry conducted by another Soliciting Dealer, provided that:
(i) such Soliciting Dealer has reasonable grounds to
believe that such inquiry was conducted with due care;
(ii) the results of the inquiry were provided to you with
the consent of the Soliciting Dealer conducting or
directing the inquiry; and
(iii) no Soliciting Dealer that participated in the inquiry
is an affiliate of the Company.
Prior to the sale of the Shares, each Soliciting Dealer shall inform the
prospective purchaser of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and
marketability of the Shares during the term of the investment.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return the attached duplicate. Your indicated acceptance thereof shall
constitute a binding agreement between you and us.
Very truly yours,

Form of Warrant Purchase Agreement
<PAGE> 2
INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND III, INC.
10,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
$.01 Par Value
WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
August ___, 1996
This Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is made by and between
Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
and Inland Securities Corporation (the "Warrantholder").
The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell, and the Warrantholder agrees to
purchase, for the price of $200, warrants as hereinafter described (the
"Soliciting Dealer Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 250,000 Shares
(subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof) of the Company's Common
Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"). The Soliciting Dealer Warrants are being
purchased in connection with a public offering of an aggregate of 10,000,000
Shares (the "Offering"), pursuant to that certain Dealer Manager Agreement (the
"Dealer Manager Agreement"), dated August ___, 1996 between the Company and the
Warrantholder as the Dealer Manager and a representative of the Soliciting
Dealers who may receive warrants.
The issuance of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall occur quarterly
commencing 60 days after the date on which Shares are first sold pursuant to
the Offering and such issuances shall be subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing and for the purpose of defining the terms
and provisions of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants and the respective rights and
obligations thereunder, the Company and the Warrantholder, for value received,
hereby agree as follows:
1. FORM AND TRANSFERABILITY OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS.
(A) REGISTRATION. The Soliciting Dealer Warrant(s) shall be numbered and
shall be registered on the books of the Company when issued.
(B) FORM OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS. The text and form of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant and of the Election to Purchase shall be
substantially as set forth in Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "B" respectively,
attached hereto and incorporated herein. The price per Share (the "Warrant
Price") and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Soliciting
Dealer Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
events, all as hereinafter provided. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be
dated as of the date of signature thereof by the Company either upon initial
issuance or upon division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
(C) TRANSFER. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be transferable only on
the
<PAGE> 3
books of the Company maintained at its principal office or that of its
designated transfer agent, if designated, upon delivery thereof duly endorsed
by the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant to the person entitled thereto.
Assignments or transfers shall be made pursuant to the form of Assignment
attached as Exhibit "C" hereto.
(D) LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT. The Soliciting
Dealer Warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged or
hypothecated by the Warrantholder, except to: (i) one or more persons, each of
whom on the date of transfer is an officer and director of a Warrantholder or
an officer and director or partner of a successor to a Warrantholder as
provided in clause (iv) of this Subsection (d); (ii) a partnership or
partnerships, all of the partners of which are a Warrantholder and one or more
persons, each of whom on the date of transfer is an officer (including an
officer-director) of a Warrantholder or an officer (including an
officer-director) or partner of a successor to a Warrantholder; (iii)
broker-dealer firms which have executed, and are not then in default of, the
Soliciting Dealers Agreement regarding the Offering (the "Selling Group") and
one or more persons, each of whom on the date of transfer is an officer or
partner of a member of the Selling Group or an officer (including an
officer-director) or partner of a successor to a member of the Selling Group;
(iv) a successor to a Warrantholder through merger or consolidation; (v) a
purchaser of all or substantially all of a Warrantholder's assets; or (vi)
stockholders of a Warrantholder or the stockholders or partners of its
transferee in the event of liquidation or dissolution of a Soliciting Dealer;
provided, however, that commencing one year from the date of issuance, a
transfer may be made to a third party solely for the purpose of immediate
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant and sale of the underlying Shares by
such third party. The Soliciting Dealer Warrant may be divided or combined,
upon written request to the Company by the Warrantholder, into a certificate or
certificates representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of
shares.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Warrantholder" shall
include any transferee of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant pursuant to this
Subsection (d), and the term "Warrant" shall include any and all Soliciting
Dealer Warrants outstanding pursuant to this Agreement, including those
evidenced by a certificate or certificates issued upon division, exchange,
substitution or transfer pursuant to this Agreement.
(E) EXCHANGE OR ASSIGNMENT OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT. Any Soliciting
Dealer Warrant certificate may be exchanged without expense for another
certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder to purchase a like
aggregate number of Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then
entitled such Warrantholder to purchase. Any Warrantholder desiring to
exchange a Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate shall make such request in
writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, the
certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be so exchanged.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto
a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate as so requested.
-2-
<PAGE> 4
Any Warrantholder desiring to assign a Soliciting Dealer Warrant shall make
such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly
endorsed, the certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be so
assigned, with an instrument of assignment duly executed accompanied by proper
evidence of assignment, succession or authority to transfer, and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer tax, whereupon the Company shall, without
charge, execute and deliver a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate in the
name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and the original
Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate shall promptly be cancelled.
2. TERMS AND EXERCISE OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS.
(A) EXERCISE PERIOD. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase one Share from the Company at a
price of $12 (120% of the initial public offering price per Share) during the
time period beginning one year from the date the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are
issued and ending on October 13, 2000 (the "Exercise Period"), or if any such
date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close,
then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, to purchase from
the Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares which the
Warrantholder may at the time be entitled to purchase pursuant to the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
(B) METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Soliciting Dealer Warrant shall be exercised
by surrender to the Company, at its principal office in Oak Brook, Illinois or
at the office of the Company's stock transfer agent, if any, or at such other
address as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder
at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, of
the certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be exercised,
together with the form of Election to Purchase, included as Exhibit "B" hereto,
duly completed and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the Warrant Price
(as determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof),
for the number of Shares with respect to which such Soliciting Dealer Warrant
is then exercised together with all taxes applicable upon such exercise.
Payment of the aggregate Warrant Price shall be made in cash or by certified
check or cashier's check, payable to the order of the Company. A Soliciting
Dealer Warrant may not be exercised if the Shares to be issued upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant have not been registered (or be
exempt from registration) in the state of residence of the holder of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant or if a Prospectus required under the laws of such
state cannot be delivered to the buyer on behalf of the Company. In addition,
holders of Soliciting Dealer Warrants may not exercise the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant to the extent such exercise will cause them to exceed the ownership
limits set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended. If
any Soliciting Dealer Warrant has not been exercised by the end of the
Exercise Period, it will terminate and the Warrantholder will have no further
rights thereunder.
(C) PARTIAL EXERCISE. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be
exercisable, at the election of the Warrantholder, either in full or from time
to time in part and, in the event that
-3-
<PAGE> 5
the Soliciting Dealer Warrant is exercised with respect to less than all of the
Shares specified therein at any time prior to the Termination Date, a new
certificate evidencing the remaining Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be issued
by the Company.
(D) SHARE ISSUANCE UPON EXERCISE. Upon such surrender of the Soliciting
Dealer Warrant certificate and payment of such Warrant Price as aforesaid, the
Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to
the Warrantholder in such name or name as the Warrantholder may designate in
writing, a certificate of certificates for the number of full Shares so
purchased upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant, together with
cash, as provided in Section 9 hereof, with respect to any fractional Shares
otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such certificate or certificates shall
be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of such Shares as of the close of
business on the date of the surrender of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant and
payment of the Warrant Price, as hereinafter defined, notwithstanding that the
certificates representing such Shares shall not actually have been delivered or
that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed.
3. MUTILATED OR MISSING SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT.
In case the certificate or certificates evidencing the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at
the request of the Warrantholder, issue and deliver in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate of
certificates, or in lieu of and in substitution for the certificate or
certificates lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant
certificate or certificates of like tenor and date and representing an
equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Soliciting Dealer
Warrant, and of reasonable bond of indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory
in form and amount and at the applicant's cost.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved so
long as the Soliciting Dealer Warrant remains outstanding, out of its
authorized Common Stock, such number of Shares as shall be subject to purchase
under the Soliciting Dealer Warrant.
5. LEGEND ON SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT SHARES.
Each certificate for Shares initially issued upon exercise of the Soliciting
Dealer Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Shares are registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall bear the following legend:
NO SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES SHALL BE MADE
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE
-4-
<PAGE> 6
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED..
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon
completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under
the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend
unless, in the opinion of such counsel as shall be reasonably approved by the
Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to such
restrictions.
6. PAYMENT OF TAXES.
The Company shall pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to
the initial issuance of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable with respect to
any secondary transfer of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or the Shares.
7. WARRANT PRICE.
The price per Share at which Shares shall be purchasable on the exercise of
the Soliciting Dealer Warrant shall be $12 (the "Warrant Price").
8. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock or make a
distribution in Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock;
(iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock other
securities of the Company, the number and kind of securities purchasable upon
the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant immediately prior thereto shall
be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the number
and kind of securities of the Company which it would have owned or would have
been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described
above had the Soliciting Dealer Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Subsection (a) shall become effective on the
effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such
event.
-5-
<PAGE> 7
(b) No adjustment in the number of securities purchasable hereunder shall
be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least one percent (1%) in the number of securities (calculated to the nearest
full Share thereof) then purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant or, if the Soliciting Dealer Warrant is not then exercisable, the
number of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant on the first date thereafter that the Soliciting Dealer Warrant becomes
exercisable; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this
Subsection (b) is not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward
and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(c) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant is adjusted as herein provided, the Warrant Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of
Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
(d) For the purpose of this Section 8, the term "Common Stock" shall mean:
(i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company at the
date of this Agreement; or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from
successive changes or reclassification of such Common Stock consisting solely
of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the Warrantholder shall become
entitled to purchase any shares of the Company other than Common Stock,
thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon the exercise of
the Soliciting Dealer Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to the Shares contained in this
Section 8.
(e) Whenever the number of Shares and/or securities purchasable upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or the Warrant Price is adjusted as
herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the
Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment
setting forth the number of Shares and/or securities purchasable upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or the Warrant Price after such
adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the
computation by which such adjustment was made.
(f) In case of any reclassification, capital reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value,
or from no par value to par value, or as a result of an issuance of Common
Stock by way of dividend or other distribution, or of a subdivision or
combination of the Common Stock), or in case of any consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a merger
with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other
change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
-6-
<PAGE> 8
Company) as a result of which the holders of the Company's Common Stock become
holders of other shares of securities of the Company or of another corporation
or entity, or such holders receive cash or other assets, or in case of any sale
or conveyance to another corporation of the property, assets or business of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the
Warrantholder an agreement that the Warrantholder shall have the right
thereafter upon payment for the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
such action to purchase upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant the
kind and number of securities and property which it would have owned or have
been entitled to have received after the happening of such reclassification,
capital reorganization, change in the outstanding shares of shares of Common
Stock of the Company, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action.
The agreement referred to in this Subsection (f) shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 8. The provisions of this Subsection
(f) shall similarly apply to successive reclassification, capital
reorganizations, changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(g) Except as provided in this Section 8, no adjustment with respect to
any dividends shall be made during the term of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or
upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant.
(h) No adjustments shall be made in connection with the public sale and
issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement or the sale or
issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant.
(i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or
kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant, the Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate or certificates theretofore
or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price or number or kind
of securities stated in the Soliciting Dealer Warrant initially issuable
pursuant to this Agreement.
9. FRACTIONAL INTEREST.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares or securities
upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant. If any such fractional
Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 9, be issuable upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the
Company may, at its election, pay an amount in cash equal to the then current
market price multiplied by such fraction. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "current market price" shall mean: (a) if the Shares are traded in the
over-the-counter market and not on the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM") or on any
national securities exchange, the average between the per share closing bid and
asked prices of the Shares for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the date in questions, as reported by the NNM or an equivalent
-7-
<PAGE> 9
generally accepted reporting service; or (b) if the Shares are traded on the
NNM or on a national securities exchange, the average for the 30 consecutive
trading days immediately preceding the date in question of the daily per share
closing prices of the Shares on the NNM or on the principal national stock
exchange on which it is listed, as the case may be. The closing price referred
to in clause (b) above shall be the last reported sales price or, in case no
such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing
bid and asked prices on the NNM or on the principal national securities
exchange on which the Shares are then listed, as the case may be. If the
Shares are not publicly traded, then the "current market price" shall mean $10
for the first three years following the termination of the Offering.
10. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER; NOTICES OF WARRANTHOLDER.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Soliciting Dealer Warrant
shall be construed as conferring upon the Warrantholder or its transferee any
rights as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including
the right to vote, receive dividends, consent or notices as a stockholder with
respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the
Company or for any other matter.
11. REGISTRATION OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS AND SHARES PURCHASABLE
THEREUNDER.
The Soliciting Dealer Warrants and the Shares purchasable thereunder are
being registered as part of the Offering. At the same time, the Company also
is registering, on behalf of the Warrantholder, certain Soliciting Dealer
Warrants (and the Shares purchasable thereunder) which were issued to the

against liability for which he, she or it could not be indemnified under
the Articles. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver by any
Indemnified Party of any right which he, she or it may have against any
party under federal or state securities laws.
Section 7. Choice of Law. These Articles and the Bylaws, as amended,
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined
in accordance with such laws; provided, however, that causes of action for
violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this
Section 7.
Section 8. Determinations by Board. The determination as to any of the
following matters, made in good faith by or pursuant to the direction of the
Board of Directors consistent with these Articles and in the absence of actual
receipt of an improper benefit in money, property or services or active and
deliberate dishonesty established by a court, shall be final and conclusive and
shall be binding upon the Company and every holder of shares of its stock: (i)
the amount of the net income of the Company for any period and the amount of
assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends, redemption
of its stock or the payment of other distributions on its stock; (ii) the
amount of paid-in surplus, net assets, other surplus, annual or other net
profit, net assets in excess of capital, undivided profits or excess of profits
over losses on sales of assets; (iii) the amount, purpose, time of creation,
increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and
the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which

discharged); and (iv) the fair value, or any sale, bid or asked price to be
applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the

particular powers of the Board of Directors included in this Article VII shall
in no way be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from the terms

the powers conferred upon the Board of Directors under Maryland Law as now or
hereafter in force.

Section 10. REIT Qualification. The Board of Directors shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Company and its stockholders to qualify
for U.S. federal income tax treatment in accordance with the provisions of the
Code applicable to a REIT. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board of
Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are
necessary, and may take such actions as in its sole judgment and discretion are
desirable, to preserve the status of the Company as a REIT; provided, however,
that if a majority of the Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in
the best interests of the Company to continue to have the Company qualify as a
REIT, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate the Company's
REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code.
The Company is an infinite-life REIT which may be dissolved pursuant to
the procedures set forth in the MGCL at any time by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Stockholders. However, should the Board of Directors determine
within five years of the date of the Prospectus that the Shares will not be
listed for trading on a national stock exchange or market, the Company
anticipates recommending to the Stockholders that the Company be liquidated
within ten years of the date thereof.
Section 11. Distributions. Prior to the completion of the acquisition of
the properties with the proceeds of the Company's offering, Distributions to
Stockholders shall be declared and payable quarterly, in amounts as may be
determined by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. Upon
completion of the acquisition process, the Company will pay regular monthly
Distributions to its Stockholders. Concurrently with any Distribution, the
Company shall provide Stockholders with a statement disclosing the source of
the funds distributed. If such information is not available concurrently with
the making of a Distribution, a statement setting forth the reasons why such
information is not available shall be provided concurrently. In no event shall
such information be provided to Stockholders more than 60 days of making such
Distribution. Distributions in-kind shall not be permitted, except for
distributions of: (i) readily marketable securities; (ii) beneficial interests
in a liquidating trust established for the dissolution of the Company and the
liquidation of its assets in accordance with the terms of these Articles; or
(iii) distributions of in-kind property which meet all of the following
conditions: (a) the Directors advise each Stockholder of the risks associated
with direct ownership of the property; (b) the Directors offer each Stockholder
the election of receiving in-kind property distributions, and (c) the Directors
distribute in-kind property only to those Stockholders who accept the
Directors' offer. The Directors shall endeavor to declare and pay such
distributions as shall be necessary under the Code; however, Stockholders shall
have no right to any distribution unless and until declared by the Directors.
The exercise of the powers and rights of the Directors pursuant to this
SectionE11 shall be subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares
at the time outstanding. The receipt by any person in whose name any Shares
are registered on the records of the Company or by his, her or its duly
authorized agent shall be a sufficient discharge for all dividends or
distributions payable or deliverable in respect of such Shares and from all
liability related to the application thereof.
Section 12. Distribution Reinvestment Program. The Directors may adopt a
distribution reinvestment program on such terms and conditions as shall be set
forth in the Prospectus, which program may be amended from time to time by the
Directors, provided, however, that such program shall, at a minimum, provide
for the following:
10
<PAGE> 12
(a) All material information regarding the distribution to the
Stockholder and the effect of reinvesting such distribution, including
the tax consequences thereof, shall be provided to the Stockholder at
least annually; and
(b) Each Stockholder participating in the distribution reinvestment
program shall have a reasonable opportunity to withdraw from the
distribution reinvestment program at least annually after receipt of the
information required in subparagraph (a) above.
Section 13. Advisory Agreement; Advisor Compensation. Subject to the
unanimous approval of the Directors, including the Independent Directors, an
advisory agreement will be entered into by the Company which will be for a
one-year term subject to successive one-year renewals upon the mutual consent
of the parties. Such advisory agreement shall be terminable by either party or
by mutual consent of the parties or by a majority of the Independent Directors
of the Company or the Advisor, as the case may be, upon 60 days written notice
without cause or penalty. In the event of the termination of the advisory
agreement, the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable
steps requested to assist the Directors in making an orderly transition of the
advisory function. The Independent Directors shall determine from time to time
and at least annually that the compensation which the Company contracts to pay
to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services
performed and that such compensation is within the limits prescribed by these
Articles and applicable state law. The Independent Directors shall also
supervise the performance of the Advisor to determine that the Advisor or a
successor Advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory
function for the Company and to justify the compensation paid to it by the
Company as well as to confirm that the provisions of such contract are being
carried out. It shall be the duty of the Directors, including the Independent
Directors to evaluate the performance of the Advisor before entering into or
renewing an advisory contract. Such determination shall be based on the
following factors and all other factors such Independent Directors may deem
relevant and the findings of such Directors on each of such factors shall be
recorded in the minutes of a Directors meeting: (i) the size of the advisory
fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of the portfolio of
the Company; (ii) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that
meet the investment objectives of the Company; (iii) the rates charged to other
real estate investment trusts and to investors other than real estate
investment trusts by advisors performing similar services; (iv) additional
revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship
with the Company, including loan administration, underwriting or broker
commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by
the Company or by others with whom the Company does business; (v) the quality
and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (vi) the performance
of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or
appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in
dealing with distress situations; and (vii) the quality of the portfolio of the
Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own
account. Payments to the Advisor, its Affiliates and the Directors for
services rendered in a capacity other than that as investment advisor or
Director may only be made upon a determination that: (i) the compensation is
not in excess of their compensation paid for any comparable services; and (ii)
the compensation is not greater than the charges for comparable services
available from others who are competent and not affiliated with any of the
parties involved.
The Advisory Agreement will give the Company the first opportunity to buy
any Neighborhood Retail Centers placed under contract by the Advisor or its
Affiliates provided the
11
<PAGE> 13
Company is able to close the purchase within 60 days. The Advisory
Agreement will also provide the Company with the first opportunity to purchase
any single-user retail property net leased by a creditworthy tenant located
anywhere in the United States which is placed under contract or about to be
placed under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates, provided that: (i) the
Company has funds available to make the purchase; (ii) the Board votes to make
the purchase within five days of being offered such property by the Advisor;
(iii) the property meets the Company's acquisition criteria; and (iv) in the
event that more than one real estate investment program sponsored by the
Advisor or its Affiliates has funds available to make the purchase, such
property will first be offered to the program which has had funds available for
the longest period of time.
Section 14. Termination of the Company. The Board of Directors may
terminate the existence of the Company and discontinue the operations of the
Company only upon the affirmative vote, at a meeting of stockholders called for
that purpose, of a majority of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote
or the written consent of a majority of the voting power of the Company
entitled to vote.
Section 15. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company shall
not sell property or make loans (except as provided under Article IX(c)) to the
Sponsor, Advisor, any Director or Affiliates thereof. In all other cases in
which the Company shall enter into a transaction with the Sponsor, Advisor,
Director or Affiliates thereof, an appraisal must be obtained from an
Independent Expert concerning the underlying property. The appraisal shall be
maintained in the Company's records for at least five years, and shall be
available for inspection and duplication by any Stockholder. The Company shall
not purchase property from, borrow money from, invest in joint ventures with or
enter into transactions with the Sponsor, Advisor, any Director or Affiliates
thereof, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction determines
that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and is on terms and
conditions no less favorable than from unaffiliated third parties. With
respect to property which the Company purchases from a Sponsor, Advisor,
Director or Affiliate thereof, the price to the Company may not exceed the cost
of the assets of such Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliate thereof, or if
the price to the Company is in excess of such cost, substantial justification
for such excess must exist, and such excess must be reasonable. In no event
shall the cost of such asset to the Company ever exceed its current appraised
value.
Section 16. Limitation on Total Operating Expenses. The annual Total
Operating Expenses of the Company shall not exceed in any fiscal year the
greater of 2% of the Average Invested Assets of the Company or 25% of the
Company's Net Income. The Independent Directors have a fiduciary
responsibility to limit the Company's annual Total Operating Expenses to
amounts that do not exceed the limitations described above. The Independent
Directors may, however, determine that a higher level of Total Operating
Expenses is justified for such period because of unusual and non-recurring
expenses. Any such finding by the Independent Directors and the reasons in
support thereof shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of Directors.
Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which
Total Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) exceed 2% of Average
Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income, whichever is greater, as described above,
there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact. If
the Independent Directors determine that such higher Total Operating Expenses
are justified, such disclosure will also contain an explanation of the
12
<PAGE> 14
Independent Directors' conclusion. In the event the Total Operating Expenses
exceed the limitations described above and if the Directors are unable to
conclude that such excess was justified then, within 60 days after the end of
the Company's fiscal year, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company the amount
by which the aggregate annual Total Operating Expenses paid or incurred by the
Company exceed the limitation.
Section 17. Limitation on Borrowing. The Company may not incur
indebtedness to enable it to make Distributions except as necessary to satisfy
the requirement that the Company distribute at least 95% of its REIT Taxable
Income, or otherwise as necessary or advisable to assure that the Company
maintains its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The
aggregate borrowing of the Company, secured and unsecured, shall be reasonable
in relation to the Net Assets of the Company and shall be reviewed by the Board
of Directors at least quarterly. The maximum amount of borrowings in relation
to the Net Assets shall, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher
level of borrowing is appropriate, not exceed 300% of Net Assets. Any excess
in borrowing over such 300% level shall be subject to the approval by a
majority of the Stockholders. The Company shall not borrow funds from the
Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of
the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in such transaction determines that such transaction is fair and
reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than from unaffiliated parties
under the same or similar circumstances.
Section 18. Limitation on Real Estate Commissions. If the Company sells
property, the Company may pay real estate brokerage fees which are reasonable,
customary and competitive, taking into consideration the size, type and
location of the property ("Competitive Real Estate Commission"), which shall
not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of the Competitive Real Estate
Commission or an amount equal to 6% of the gross sales price of the property.
The amount of such fees payable to the Advisor or an Affiliate thereof shall
not exceed the lesser of (i) one-half of the Competitive Real Estate
Commission; or (ii) 3% of the gross sales price of a property and shall be paid
only if such person provides a substantial amount of services in connection
with the sale of the Property.
Section 19. Initial Investment by the Advisor. The Company has been
capitalized through a $200,000 cash contribution by the Advisor, for which the
Advisor received 20,000 shares of Common Stock. The Advisor shall not sell the
Initial Investment represented by these shares while the Advisor remains as the
Advisor but may transfer some or all of these shares to an Affiliate.
Section 20. Limitation on Acquisition Fees and Expenses. The Company
shall pay the Advisor Acquisition Expenses in an amount estimated to be up to
0.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds in connection with the expenses attendant
to a property acquisition. However, the total of all Acquisition Expenses paid
by the Company in connection with the purchase of a property by the Company
shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 6% of the Contract Price for the
Property, unless a majority of the Directors (including the majority of the
Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the
transaction as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the
Company.
Section 21. Determination of Consideration. The consideration paid for
real property acquired by the Company shall ordinarily be based on the fair
market value of the property as
13
<PAGE> 15
determined by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors). In cases in which a majority of the Independent
Directors so determine, or if assets are acquired from a Sponsor, Advisor,
Director or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, pursuant to SectionE15 of
this Article VII such fair market value shall be as determined by a qualified
independent real estate appraiser selected by the Independent Director.
Section 22. Fiduciary Duty. The Directors shall serve in a fiduciary
capacity and shall have a fiduciary duty to the Stockholders of the Company,
which duty shall include a duty to supervise the relationship of the Company
with the Advisor.
Section 23. Review of Investment Policies. The Directors shall establish
written policies on investments and borrowing and shall monitor the
administrative procedures, investment operations and performance of the Company
and the Advisor to assure that such policies are carried out. The Independent
Directors shall review such policies of the Company with sufficient frequency
and at least annually to determine that the policies being followed by the
Company at any time are in the best interests of the Stockholders. Each such
determination and the basis therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the
Board of Directors.
Section 24. Limitation on Organization and Offering Expenses. The
Organization and Offering Expenses paid in connection with the Company's
formation or the syndication or sale of the Shares shall be reasonable and
shall in no event exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the proceeds raised in the
Initial Public Offering, determined at the termination of the Initial Public
Offering.
Section 25. Limitation on Incentive Fees. The Company shall pay the
Advisor an Incentive Advisory Fee equal to 15% of the net proceeds from the
sale of a property after receipt by Stockholders of a cumulative,
non-compounded eight percent (8%) return on their Invested Capital in the
Company and a return of their Invested Capital. In the case of multiple
advisors, advisors and Affiliates shall be allowed incentive fees in accordance
with the foregoing limitation provided such fees are distributed by a
proportional method reasonably designed to reflect the value added to the
Company's assets by each respective advisor or Affiliate.

prior to the date of the purported Transfer or change in capital structure.
(ii) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article
VIII, at any time after the date of the Initial Public Offering and prior to

Company to be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code
(rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall constitute Excess Stock and be
treated as provided in this Article VIII. Such
17
<PAGE> 19
designation and treatment shall be effective as of the close of

Company in violation of Section 2 of this Article VIII, the Board of Directors
or its designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to enforce this
Article VIII by refusing to give effect to or to prevent such proposed or
purported Transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to
any purported Transfer on the books of the Company or instituting proceedings
to enjoin any proposed Transfer; provided, however, that any purported
Transfers in violation of Sections 2(ii),(iii),(iv) and (v) of this Article
VIII shall automatically result in the designation and treatment described in
Section 3 of this Article VIII, irrespective of any action (or non-action) by
the Board of Directors.
Section 5. Notice to the Company. Any Person who purports to acquire
shares in violation of Section 2 of this Article VIII, or any Person who is a

give notice to the Company or, in the event of a proposed Transfer, give at
least 15 days prior written notice to the Company of such proposed Transfer and

after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the Company stating
the name and address of such Beneficial Owner, the number of shares
Beneficially Owned, and a description of how such shares are held. Each
such Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Company such additional

as a REIT.
(ii) Each Person who is a Beneficial Owner of Equity Stock and each
Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding Equity Stock
for a Beneficial Owner shall provide to the Company such information
that the Company may reasonably request in order to determine the
Company's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any
taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such
compliance.
Section 7. Other Action by the Board. Nothing contained in this Article
VIII, shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other
action as it deems necessary or
18
<PAGE> 20
advisable to protect the Company and the interests of its stockholders
by preservation of the Company's status as a REIT.
Section 8. Ambiguities. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of
any of the provisions of this Article VIII, including any definition contained

application of the provisions of this Article VIII, with respect to any
situation based on the facts known to it.
Section 9. Modification of Existing Holder Limits. The Existing Holder
Limits may be modified as follows:
(i) Subject to the limitations provided in Section 11 of this
Article VIII, the Board of Directors of the Company may grant stock
options which result in Beneficial Ownership of Equity Stock by an
Existing Holder pursuant to a stock option plan approved by the Board of
Directors and/or the stockholders of the Company. Any such grant shall
increase the Existing Holder Limit for the affected Existing Holder to
the maximum extent possible under Section 11 of this Article VIII to
permit the Beneficial Ownership of the shares of Equity Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such stock option.
(ii) Subject to the limitations provided in Section 11 of this
Article VIII, an Existing Holder may elect to participate in a dividend
reinvestment program approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
which results in Beneficial Ownership of Equity Stock by such
participating Existing Holder wherein those Existing Holders holding
Equity Stock are entitled to purchase additional Equity Stock. Any such
participation shall increase the Existing Holder Limit for the affected
Existing Holder to the maximum extent possible under Section 11 to
permit Beneficial Ownership of the shares of Equity Stock acquired as a
result of such participation.
(iii) The Board of Directors will reduce the Existing Holder Limit
for any Existing Holder after any Transfer permitted in this Article
VIII by such Existing Holder by the percentage of the outstanding Equity
Stock so Transferred or after the lapse (without exercise) of a stock
option described in Section 9(i) of this Article VIII by the percentage
of the Equity Stock that the stock 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.
(iv) Subject to the limitations provided in Section 11 of this
Article VIII, the Board of Directors may grant a waiver of the Ownership
Limit of Existing Holder Limit pursuant to Section 12 of this Article
VIII. Any such waiver shall increase (or create) the Existing Holder
Limit for such Person to the extent of the waiver of the proposed or
purported Transfer.
Section 10. Increase in Ownership Limit. Subject to the limitations
provided in Section 11 of this Article VIII and Section 6 of Article VIII, the
Board of Directors 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, in which case such decrease shall be effective immediately.

Section 11. Limitations on Changes in Existing Holder and Ownership
Limits.
(i) Neither the Ownership Limit nor any Existing Holder Limit may be
increased (nor may any additional Existing Holder be created) if, after giving
effect to such increase (or creation), five Beneficial Owners of Common Stock
(including all of the then Existing Holders) could Beneficially Own, in the
aggregate, more than 50.0% in number or value of the outstanding shares of
Equity Stock.
(ii) Prior to the modification of any Existing Holder Limit or Ownership
Limit pursuant to Section 9 or 10 of this Article VIII, the Board of Directors
of the Company 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 REIT.
(iii) No Existing Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage which is
less than the Ownership Limit.
Section 12. Waivers by Board. The Board of Directors, upon receipt of a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel or other
evidence satisfactory to the Board of Directors and upon at least 15 days
written notice from a transferee of a purported Transfer or a proposed Transfer
which, if consummated, would result in the intended transferee Beneficially
Owning shares in excess of Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit, as the
case may be, and upon such other conditions as the Board of Directors may
direct, may waive the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit, as the case
may be with respect to such transferee.
Section 13. Legend. Each certificate for shares of Equity Stock shall
bear substantially the following legend:
The securities represented by this certificate are subject
to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Company's
maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Except as
otherwise provided pursuant to these Articles of the Company, no
Person may Beneficially Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of
9.8% (or such greater percentage as may be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company) of the number or value of the
outstanding Equity Stock of the Company (unless such Person is
an Existing Holder). Any Person who purports or proposes to
Beneficially Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of 9.8% (or
such greater percentage as may be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company) of the number or value of the
outstanding Equity Stock of the Company (unless such Person is
an Existing Holder) is in violation of the restrictions on
transfer and any securities so transferred shall be designated
as Excess Stock and held in trust by the Company. Any Person
who purports or proposes to Beneficially Own shares of Equity
Stock in excess of the above limitations must notify the Company
in writing immediately, in the case of a purported Transfer, and
at least 15 days prior to a proposed Transfer. All capitalized
terms in this legend have the meanings defined in these Articles
of the Company, a copy of which, including the restrictions on
transfer, will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so
requests. If the restrictions on
20
<PAGE> 22
transfer are violated, the securities represented hereby will be
designated and treated as shares of Excess Stock which will be held in
trust by the Company.
Section 14. Severability. If any provision of this Article VIII 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.
Section 15. Trust for Excess Stock. Upon any purported Transfer that
results in Excess Stock pursuant to Section 3 of this Article VIII, such Excess
Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company, as Trustee of a
Trust for the benefit of such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom an interest
in such Excess Stock may later be transferred pursuant to Section 18 of this
Article VIII. Shares of Excess Stock so held in trust shall be issued and
outstanding stock of the Company. The Purported Record Transferee shall have
no rights in such Excess Stock except the right to designate a Beneficiary of
an interest in the Trust (representing the number of shares of Excess Stock
held by the Trust attributable to a purported Transfer that resulted in the
Excess Stock upon the terms specified in Section 18 of this Article VIII). The
Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in such Excess Stock
except as provided in Section 18 of this Article VIII.
Section 16. No Distributions for Excess Stock. The holder of any Excess
Stock or any beneficiary of the Trust established pursuant to Section 15 of
this Article VIII shall not be entitled to any distributions (whether as
dividends or as distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up).
Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Company that
the shares of Equity Stock have been Transferred so as to be deemed Excess
Stock shall be repaid to the Company upon demand.
Section 17. No Voting Rights for Excess Stock. The Purported Record
Transferee of shares of Excess Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any
matter with respect to those shares of Excess Stock.
Section 18. Non-Transferability of Excess Stock. Excess Stock shall not
be transferable. The Purported Record Transferee may freely designate a
Beneficiary of an interest in the Trust (representing the number of shares of
Excess Stock held by the Trust attributable to a purported Transfer to a
purported Record Transferee that resulted in the Excess Stock), if: (i) the
shares of Excess Stock held in the Trust would not be Excess Stock in the hands
of such Beneficiary; and (ii) the Purported Beneficial Transferee does not
receive a price for designating such Beneficiary that reflects a price per
share for such Excess Stock that exceeds (a) the price per share such Purported
Beneficial Transferee paid for the Equity Stock in the purported Transfer that
resulted in the Excess Stock, or (b) if the Purported Beneficial Transferee did
not give value for such Excess Stock (through a gift, devise or other
transaction), a price per share equal to the Market Price for the shares of the
Excess Stock on the date of the purported Transfer that resulted in the Excess
Stock. Upon such transfer of an interest in the Trust, the corresponding
shares of Excess Stock in the Trust shall be automatically exchanged for an
equal number of shares of Equity Stock and such shares of Equity Stock shall be
transferred of record to the transferee of the interest in the Trust if such
shares of Equity Stock would not be Excess Stock in the hands of such
transferee. Prior to any transfer of any interest in the Trust, the Purported
Record Transferee must give advance notice to the Company of the intended
transfer
21
<PAGE> 23
and the Company must have waived in writing its purchase rights under
Section 19 of this Article VIII.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Purported Beneficial Transferee
receives a price for designating a Beneficiary of an interest in the Trust that
exceeds the amounts allowable under this Section 18 of this Article VIII, such
Purported Beneficial Transferee shall pay, or cause such Beneficiary to
immediately pay, such excess to the Company.
If any of the foregoing restrictions on transfer of Excess Stock are
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 Stock and to hold such Excess Stock on behalf of the Company.
Section 19. Call by Company on Excess Stock. Shares of Excess Stock shall
be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a
price per share equal to the lesser of: (i) the price per share in the
transaction that created such Excess Stock (or, in the case of a devise or
gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift); and (ii) the Market
Price of the Equity Stock to which such Excess Stock relates on the date the
Company, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Company shall have the right
to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of: (i) the date
of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Stock; and (ii) the date the
Board of Directors determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess
Stock has occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice of such Transfer
pursuant to Section 5 of this Article VIII but in no event later than a
permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 18
of this Article VIII.
ARTICLE IX
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The investment policies set forth in this Article IX shall be approved by
a majority of the Independent Directors. Subject to the restrictions contained
herein, such Independent Directors may alter the investment policies if they
determine that such change is in the best interests of the Company. The
Company shall not make investments in: (i) any foreign currency or bullion;
(ii) short sales; and (iii) any security in any entity holding investments or
engaging in activities prohibited by these Articles.
In addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Directors from
time to time consistent with the Company's objective to qualify as a REIT, the
Company will observe the following restrictions on its investments:
(a) Not more than 10% of the Company's total assets will be
invested in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on unimproved
real property. For purposes of this paragraph, "unimproved real
properties" does not include properties under construction, under
contract for development or plan for development within one year;
(b) The Company may not invest in commodities or commodity future
contracts. Such limitation is not intended to apply to interest rate
futures, when used solely for hedging purposes;
22
<PAGE> 24
(c) The Company shall not invest in or make mortgage loans unless
an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property. Mortgage
indebtedness on any property shall not exceed such property's appraised
value. In cases in which the majority of Independent Directors so
determine, and in all cases in which the mortgage loan involves the
Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or any Affiliates, such appraisal
must be obtained from an Independent Expert concerning the underlying
property. The appraisal shall be maintained in the Company's records for
at least five years, and shall be available for inspection and
duplication by any Stockholder. In addition to the appraisal, a
mortgagee's or owner's title insurance policy or commitment as to the
priority of the mortgage or condition of the title must be obtained.
The Company may not invest in real estate contracts of sale otherwise
known as land sale contracts;
(d) The Company may not make or invest in mortgage loans, including
construction loans, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all
mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the
Company, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of
the property as determined by appraisal unless substantial justification
exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria provided
that such loans would in no event exceed the appraised value of the
property at the date of the loans;
(e) The Company may not make or invest in any mortgage loans that
are subordinate to any mortgage or equity interest of the Advisor, the
Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof;
(f) The Company shall not invest in equity securities unless a
majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approves the
transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable.
Investments in entities affiliated with the Sponsor, the Advisor, any
Directors or Affiliates thereof are subject to the restrictions on joint
venture investments. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the Company
may purchase its own securities, when traded on a secondary market or on
a national securities exchange or market, if a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors) determine such
purchase to be in the best interests of the Company;
(g) The Company shall not issue: (i) redeemable equity securities;
(ii) debt securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the
most recently completed fiscal year) as adjusted for known charges is
sufficient to properly service the higher level of debt; (iii) options
or warrants to purchase Shares to the Sponsor, the Advisor, any
Directors, or their Affiliates except on the same terms as sold to the
general public, provided that the Company may issue options or warrants
to persons not affiliated with the Company at exercise prices not less
than the fair market value of such securities on the date of grant and
for consideration (which may include securities that in the judgment of
the Independent Directors have a market value not less than the value of
such option on the date of grant); options or warrants issuable to the
Sponsor, the Advisor, Directors or Affiliates thereof shall not exceed
an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Shares on the
date of grant of any options or warrants; or (d) issue Shares on a
deferred payment basis or similar arrangement;
23
<PAGE> 25
(h) To the extent the Company invests in real property, a majority
of the Directors shall determine the consideration paid for such real
property, based on the fair market value of the property. If a majority
of the Independent Directors determine, or if the real property is
acquired from the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director, or Affiliates
thereof, such fair market value shall be determined by a qualified
independent real estate appraiser selected by the Independent Directors;
(i) The Company may not invest in indebtedness (herein called
"Junior Debt") secured by a mortgage on real property which is
subordinate to the lien of other indebtedness (herein called "Senior
Debt"), except where the amount of such Junior Debt, plus the
outstanding amount of the Senior Debt, does not exceed 90% of the
appraised value of such property, if after giving effect thereto, the
value of all such investments of the Company (as shown on the books of
the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
after all reasonable reserves but before provision for depreciation)
would not then exceed 25% of the Company's tangible assets. The value
of all investments in Junior Debt of the Company which does not meet the
aforementioned requirements would be limited to 10% of the Company's
tangible assets (which would be included within the 25% limitation);
(j) Engage in trading, as compared with investment activities; and
(k) Engage in underwriting or the agency distribution of securities
issued by others.
ARTICLE X
ACCESS TO RECORDS
Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof shall be
permitted access to all records of the Company at all reasonable times, and may
inspect and copy any of them for the purposes specified below. Inspection of
the Company's books and records by a state securities administrator shall be
provided upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours. In addition,
an alphabetical list of names, addresses and business telephone numbers of the
Stockholders of the Company along with the number of Shares held by each of
them (the "Stockholder List") shall be maintained and updated quarterly as part
of the books and records of the Company and shall be available for inspection
by any Stockholder or the Stockholder's designated agent at the business office
of the Company upon the request of the Stockholder. A copy of the Stockholder
List shall be mailed to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List within
ten days of the request. The copy of the Stockholder List shall be printed in
alphabetical order, on white paper, and in a readily readable type size (in no
event smaller than 10-point type). The Company may impose a reasonable charge
for expenses incurred in reproducing such list. The permitted purposes for
which a Stockholder may request a copy of the Stockholder List include, without
limitation, matters relating to Stockholders' voting rights under these
Articles and the exercise of Stockholders' rights under federal proxy laws. If
the Advisor or the Directors of the Company neglect or refuse to exhibit,
produce or mail a copy of the Stockholder List as requested in accordance with
and as required by applicable law and these Articles, the Advisor and the
Directors shall be liable to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List,
for the costs,
24
<PAGE> 26
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by that Stockholder for
compelling the production of the Stockholder List, and for actual damages
suffered by any Stockholder by reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be
a defense to such liability that the actual purpose and reason for the requests
for inspection or for a copy of the Stockholder List is to secure such list of
Stockholders or other information for the purpose of selling such Stockholder
List or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose or other
purpose not in the interest of the applicant as a Stockholder relative to the
affairs of the Company. The Company may require the Stockholder requesting the
Stockholder List to represent that the Stockholder List is not requested for a
commercial purpose unrelated to the Stockholder's interest in the Company. The
remedies provided hereunder to Stockholders requesting copies of the
Stockholder List are in addition to, and shall not in any way limit, other
remedies available to Stockholders under federal law, or the laws of any state.
ARTICLE XI
REPORTS AND MEETINGS
Each year, within 120 days after the close of its fiscal year, an annual
report of the Company will be submitted to each Stockholder concerning its
operations for each prior fiscal year ending after the Initial Public Offering
which contains financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which are audited and reported on by independent
certified public accountants. The annual report shall also include: (i) the
ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital raised;
(ii) the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of other
fees paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the Company and
including fees or charges paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor
by third parties doing business with the Company; (iii) the Total Operating
Expenses of the Company stated as a percentage of Average Invested Assets and
as a percentage of Net Income; (iv) a report from the Independent Directors
that the policies being followed by the Company are in the best interests of
the Stockholders, and the basis for such determination; and (v) separately
stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances
surrounding any and all transactions involving the Company, the Advisor, the
Directors and any Affiliates thereof occurring in the year for which the annual
report is made. Independent Directors shall examine and comment in the annual
report on the fairness of all transactions involving the Company. The annual
report shall be mailed or delivered to each Stockholder as of a record date
after the end of such fiscal year. There shall be an annual meeting of the
Stockholders of the Company upon reasonable notice and within a reasonable
period (not less than 30 days) following delivery of the annual report, but
within six months after the end of each fiscal year. The Directors, including
the Independent Directors, are required to take reasonable steps to insure that
the requirements of this Article XI are met.
ARTICLE XII
CONVERSION TRANSACTIONS
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Articles, and
subject to the restrictions on Roll-Ups described in Article XIII, Stockholders
representing 66% in interest of the Shares and all the Independent Directors
must approve certain exchange offers, mergers, consolidations or similar
transactions involving the Company in which the Stockholders receive
25
<PAGE> 27
securities in a surviving entity having a substantially longer duration
or materially different investment objectives and policies, or that provides
significantly greater compensation to management from that which is described
in the Prospectus, except for any such transaction effected because of changes
in applicable law, or to preserve tax advantages for a majority in interest of
the Stockholders. Standards such as "substantially longer life," "materially
different investment objectives and policies" or "provides significantly
greater compensation to management" are not defined and their application will
be resolved by the Directors (a majority of whom are independent).
ARTICLE XIII
ROLL-UPS
Section 1. Appraisal. An appraisal of all of the Company's assets shall
be obtained from an Independent Expert. The appraisal will be included in a
prospectus used to offer the securities of a Roll-Up Entity and shall be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the state regulatory
commissions as an exhibit to the registration statement for the offering of the
Roll-Up Entity's Shares. Accordingly, an issuer using the appraisal shall be
subject to liability for violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and comparable provisions under state laws for any material
misrepresentations or material omissions in the appraisal.
The Company's assets shall be appraised in a consistent manner. The
appraisal shall:
(a) be based on an evaluation of all relevant information;
(b) indicate the value of the Company's assets as of a date
immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed Roll-Up
transaction; and
(c) assume an orderly liquidation of the Company's assets over a
12-month period.
The terms of the engagement of the Independent Expert shall clearly state
that the engagement is for the benefit of the Company and its Stockholders. A
summary of the independent appraisal, indicating all material assumptions
underlying the appraisal, shall be included in a report to the Stockholders in
connection with the proposed Roll-Up.
Section 2. Stockholder Options. Stockholders who vote "no" on the
proposed Roll-Up shall have the choice of:
(a) accepting the securities of the Roll-Up Entity offered in the
proposed Roll-Up; or
(b) one of either;
(i) remaining as Stockholders of the Company and preserving
their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as
previously existed, or
26
<PAGE> 28
(ii) receiving cash in an amount equal to the Stockholder's
pro rata share of the appraised value of the net assets of the
Company.
Section 3. Restrictions. The Company may not participate in any proposed
Roll-Up which would:
(a) result in the Stockholders having rights to meetings less
frequently or which are more restrictive to Stockholders than those
provided in these Articles;
(b) result in the Stockholders having voting rights that are less
than those provided in these Articles;
(c) result in the Stockholders having greater liability than as
provided in these Articles;
(d) result in the Stockholders having rights to receive reports
that are less than those provided in these Articles;
(e) result in the Stockholders having access to records that are
more limited than those provided in these Articles;
(f) include provisions which would operate to materially impede or
frustrate the accumulation of Shares by any purchaser of the securities
of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to
preserve the tax status of the Roll-Up Entity);
(g) limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights
of its securities in the Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the number of
Shares held by that investor;
(h) result in investors in the Roll-Up Entity having rights of
access to the records of the Roll-Up Entity that are less than those
provided in these Articles; or
(i) place any of the costs of the transaction on the Company if the
Roll-Up is not approved by the Stockholder;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
participation in any proposed Roll-Up which would result in Stockholders having
rights and restrictions comparable to those contained in these Articles, with
the prior approval of a majority of the Stockholders.
ARTICLE XIV
AMENDMENTS
The Company reserves the right from time to time to make any amendment to
these Articles, now or hereafter authorized by law, including any amendment
altering the terms or contract rights, as expressly set forth in these
Articles, of any shares of outstanding stock. Without concurrence of a
majority of the outstanding Shares, the Directors may not: (a) amend
27
<PAGE> 29
the Articles, except for amendments which do not adversely affect the rights,
preferences and privileges of the Stockholders, including amendments to
provisions relating to Director qualifications, fiduciary duty, liability and
indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or investment
restrictions; (b) sell all or substantially all of the Company assets other
than in the ordinary course of the Company's business or in connection with
liquidation and dissolution; (c) cause a merger or other reorganization of the
Company; or (d) dissolve or liquidate the Company, other than before the
initial investment in a property by the Company. For purposes of the above
provision, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company assets shall mean
the sale of two-thirds or more of the Company's assets based on the total
number of properties or the current fair market value of these assets.
ARTICLE XV
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time
permits limitation of the liability of directors and officers, no director or
officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for
money damages. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article XV, nor the
adoption or amendment of any other provision of these Articles or of the
Bylaws, as amended, of the Company inconsistent with this Article XV, shall
apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding sentence
with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption,
THIRD: The amendment to and restatement of the charter of the Corporation
as hereinabove set forth has been duly advised by the board of directors and

STOCKHOLDERS
SECTION 1. ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of the stockholders
shall be held not less than 30 days after delivery of the annual report, but
within six months after the end of each fiscal year, for the purpose of
electing directors and for the transaction of such other business, as may come
before the meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal
holiday, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.
SECTION 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders
may be called by the chief executive officer, a majority of the Directors or by
a majority of the Independent Directors and shall be called by an officer of
the Company upon written request of stockholders holding in the aggregate not
less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at such
meeting. Unless requested by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of
all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, a special meeting need not
be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter
voted on at any special meeting of the stockholders held during the preceding
12 months.
SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Each meeting of the stockholders for
the election of directors shall be held at the offices of the Company in Oak
Brook, Illinois, unless the board of directors shall by resolution designate
any other place for such meeting. Meetings of stockholders for any other
purpose may be held at such place, within or without the State of Maryland, and
at such time as shall be determined pursuant to Section 2 of this Article II,
and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice
thereof.
SECTION 4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. A written notice of each meeting of
stockholders, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case
of a special
<PAGE> 3
meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be
given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting and each other
stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting. Unless otherwise provided by
the General Corporation Law of Maryland ("Maryland Law"), the notice shall be
given not less than 15 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting,
and, if mailed, shall be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the
Company. No notice need be given to any person with whom communication is
unlawful, nor shall there be any duty to apply for any permit or license to
give notice to any such person.
SECTION 5. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, with respect to any stockholder meeting, any stockholder who
in person or by proxy shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting,
either before or after such meeting, or who shall attend the meeting in person
or by proxy, shall be deemed to have waived notice of such meeting unless such
stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of
the meeting, and does so object to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
SECTION 6. QUORUM; MANNER OF ACTING AND ORDER OF BUSINESS. Subject
to any other provision of these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, as
amended (the "Amended Articles") and Maryland Law as to the vote that is
required for a specified action, the presence in person or by proxy of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote
at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business and may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Directors, vote
to elect the Directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
the Company's stock entitled to vote, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall be binding on all stockholders of the Company, unless the vote of
a greater number or voting by classes is required by Maryland Law or the
Amended Articles or these Bylaws. The stockholders present at a duly called or
held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of stockholders such that less than
a quorum is present.
In the absence of a quorum, stockholders holding a majority of the
shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, regardless of
whether or not they constitute a quorum, or if no stockholders are present, any
officer entitled to preside at or act as secretary of the meeting, may adjourn
the meeting to another time and place. Any business which might have been
transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at any adjourned meeting
at which a quorum is present. No notice of an adjourned meeting need be given
if the time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken except that, if adjournment is for more than 120 days or if, after the
adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the meeting, notice of the

<PAGE> 4
absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the board of
directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the
meeting. The secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his
absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary
of the meeting. The order of business at all meetings of the stockholders
shall be determined by the chairman. The order of business so determined,
however, may be changed by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares
present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy.
SECTION 7. VOTING; PROXIES. (a) Except as provided in Section 7(b)
and the Amended Articles, each stockholder of record on the record date, as
determined pursuant to Section 6 of Article VI, shall be entitled to one vote
for every share registered in his name. However, all elections of directors
shall be by written ballot. Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting
of stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate action in
writing without a meeting may authorize another person to act for him by proxy.
No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from its date of execution, unless the
proxy provides for a longer period.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in these Bylaws, Subtitle
7 of Title 3 of Maryland Law (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any

SECTION 8. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. (a) In advance of any meeting of
stockholders, the board of directors may appoint inspectors of election to act
at each meeting of stockholders and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of
election are not so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the
request of any stockholder or his proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election
at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If
appointed at the meeting upon the request of one or more stockholders or
proxies, the vote of the holders of a majority of shares present in person or
by proxy shall determine whether one or three inspectors are appointed. In any
case, if any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or fails or
refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors
in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person acting as chairman.
(b) The inspector(s) of election shall determine the outstanding
stock of the Company, the stock represented at the meeting and the existence of
a quorum, shall receive votes, ballots, or consents, shall count and tabulate
all votes and shall determine the result; and in connection therewith, the
inspector(s) shall determine the authority, validity and effect of proxies,
hear and determine all challenges and questions, and do such other ministerial
acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all
stockholders. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or
certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or
certificate of all. If no inspectors of election are appointed, the secretary
shall pass upon all questions and shall have all other duties specified in this
Section 8.

<PAGE> 5
(c) Upon request of the chairman of the meeting or any stockholder
or his proxy, the inspector(s) of election shall make a report in writing of
any challenge or question or other matter determined by him and shall execute a
certificate of any fact found in connection therewith. Any such report or
certificate shall be filed with the record of the meeting.
SECTION 9. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a
meeting if a unanimous consent in writing, setting forth such action, is signed
by each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter and any other stockholder
entitled to notice of a meeting of stockholders (but not to vote thereat) has
waived in writing any right to dissent from such action, and such consent and
waiver are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the stockholders.
SECTION 10. NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS.
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (1) Nominations of persons
for election to the board of directors and the proposal of business to be
considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of
stockholders: (A) pursuant to the Company's notice of meeting; (B) by or at the
direction of the board of directors; or (C) by any stockholder of the Company
who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in
this Section 10(a), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied
with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 10(a).
(2) For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (C) of
paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 10, the stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal
executive offices of the Company not less than 75 days nor more than 180 days
prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting;
provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is
advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered
not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than
the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting
or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of
such meeting is first made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth: (i) as
to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors,
or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including
such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a
nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other business
that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description
of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for
conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such
business of such stockholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to
4
<PAGE> 6
the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such
stockholder, as they appear on the Company's books, and that of such beneficial
owner, and (y) the class and number of shares of stock of the Company which are
owned beneficially and of record by such beneficial owner and such stockholder.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of
paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 10 to the contrary, in the event that the
number of directors to be elected to the board of directors is increased and
there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or
specifying the size of the increased board of directors made by the Company at
least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this Section 10(a) shall also be
considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions
created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business
on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first
made by the Company.
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be
conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought
before the meeting pursuant to the Company's notice of meeting. Nominations of
persons for election to the board of directors may be made at a special meeting
of stockholders at which directors are to be elected: (i) pursuant to the
Company's notice of meeting; (ii) by or at the direction of the board of
directors; or (iii) provided that the board of directors has determined that
directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder of the
Company who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided
for in this Section 10(b), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who
complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 10(b). In the
event the Company calls for a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose
of electing one or more directors to the board of directors, any such
stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election
to such position as specified in the Company's notice of meeting, if the
stockholder's notice required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 10 shall be
delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company
not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than
the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special
meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is
first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by
the board of directors to be elected at such meeting.
(c) Access to Records. Any Stockholder and any designated
representative thereof shall be permitted access to all records of the Company
at all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of them for purposes
specified below. Inspection of the Company's books and records by a state
securities administrator shall be provided upon reasonable notice and during
normal business hours at the business office of the Company. In addition, an
alphabetical list of names, addresses and business telephone numbers of the
Stockholders of the Company along with the number of Shares held by each of
them (the "Stockholder List") shall be maintained and updated quarterly as part
5
<PAGE> 7
of the books and records of the Company and shall be available for inspection
by any Stockholder or the Stockholder's designated agent at the business office
of the Company upon the request of the Stockholder. A copy of the Stockholder
List shall be mailed to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List within
ten days of the request. The copy of the Stockholder List shall be printed in
alphabetical order, on white paper, and in a readily readable type size (in no
event smaller than 10-point type). The Company may impose a reasonable charge
for expenses incurred in reproducing such list. The permitted purposes for
which a Stockholder may request a copy of the Stockholder List include, without
limitation, matters relating to Stockholders' voting rights under these Amended
Articles and the exercise of Stockholders' rights under federal proxy laws and
regulations. If the Advisor or the Directors of the Company neglect or refuse
to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the Stockholder List as requested in
accordance with and as required by applicable law and these Amended Articles,
the Advisor and the Directors shall be liable to any Stockholder requesting the
Stockholder List, for the costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred
by that Stockholder for compelling the production of the Stockholder List, and
for actual damages suffered by any Stockholder by reason of such refusal or
neglect. It shall be a defense to such liability that the actual purpose and
reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the Stockholder List is
to secure such list of Stockholders or other information for the purpose of
selling such Stockholder List or copies thereof, or of using the same for a
commercial purpose or other purpose not in the interest of the applicant as a
Stockholder relative to the affairs of the Company. The Company may require
the Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List to represent that the
Stockholder List is not requested for a commercial purpose unrelated to the
Stockholder's interest in the Company. The remedies provided hereunder to
Stockholders requesting copies of the Stockholder List are in addition to, and
shall not in any way limit, other remedies available to Stockholders under
federal law, or the laws of any state.
(d) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10 shall be eligible
to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section 10. The presiding officer of the
meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any
business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section 10 and, if any proposed nomination or
business is not in compliance with this Section 10, to declare that such
defective nomination or proposal be disregarded.
(2) For purposes of this Section 10, "public
announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release prepared by or on behalf
of the Company and reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or
comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of
state law and of the
6
<PAGE> 8
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section 10. Nothing in this Section 10 shall be
deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals
in any of the Company's proxy statements pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
Exchange Act.

the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or his legal representative to give

<PAGE> 2
ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the ______ day of
_______________, 1996, by and among INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND III, INC., a
Maryland corporation (the "Company") and LASALLE NATIONAL BANK, N.A., CHICAGO,
ILLINOIS (the "Escrow Agent").
1. The Company does hereby open this escrow and Escrow Agent's sole
concern and duties shall be as specifically set forth herein:
1.1 From time to time during the course of this escrow, in
connection with the Company's offering (the "Offering") of up to
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares")(exclusive of the
Company's distribution reinvestment program), Escrow Agent will
receive from subscribers deposits to be held in escrow in
accordance with the terms hereof. Said funds as received by
Escrow Agent shall be placed into an interest-bearing account
entitled "Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc. Escrow Account."
2. All deposits from each subscriber shall be accompanied by a
subscription agreement, stating among other things, subscriber name, current
address and investment amount.
3. Checks deposited herein from the various subscribers shall be payable
to "LNB, Escrow Agent for MIFIII."
4. All parties understand and are aware that all funds received during the
course of the escrow and deposited herein must clear the normal banking
channels prior to the release of any funds.
5. The Company understands that it is not entitled to any funds received
into escrow in the event of cancellation of the Offering and in such event,
deposits shall be returned to the subscribers only.
6. Subscribers named in any subscription for Shares clearly understand
that this is an impound escrow between the Company and the Escrow Agent and
that they are not a party to this escrow.
7. All documents, including any instrument necessary for the negotiation
or other transfer of escrow assets, deposited simultaneously with the execution
of this Agreement are approved by the Company, and the Escrow Agent shall not
be obligated to inquire as to the form, manner of execution or validity of
these documents or any document hereafter deposited pursuant to the provisions
hereof, nor shall the Escrow Agent be obligated to inquire as to the identity,
authority or rights of the persons executing the same. The Escrow Agent shall
be liable under this Agreement only for its failure to exercise due care in the
performance of its duties expressly set forth in this Agreement. It shall have
a lien on all securities, monies and documents deposited in this escrow by each
subscriber for Escrow Agent's reasonable compensation and expenses and for
judgments, attorneys' fees and other liabilities which the Escrow Agent may
<PAGE> 3
incur or sustain by reason of this escrow, and the undersigned agrees to pay to
Escrow Agent, upon demand, amounts to satisfy all such liabilities, fees and
expenses. In case of conflicting demands upon it, the Escrow Agent may
withhold performance of this escrow until such time as said conflicting demands
shall have been withdrawn or the rights of the respective parties shall have
been settled by court adjudication, arbitration, joint order or otherwise.
8. Commencing with the date the Securities and Exchange Commission
declares the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11 effective (the
"Effective Date"), and ending on the Termination Date (the "Offering Period"),
any funds received by the Escrow Agent shall be disbursed to the Company on a
monthly basis, or otherwise in accordance with the Company's written request,
and any funds held in escrow shall be invested by the Escrow Agent, subject to
paragraph 9 hereof, in such instruments as the Company may direct. Upon
termination of the Offering, which shall occur not later than 12 months after
the Effective Date, provided however that, subject to requalification in
certain states, the Company may extend the Offering Period from time to time,
but in no event more than two years after the Effective Date (the "Termination
Date"), all amounts theretofore undistributed to the Company shall be
distributed to the Company, and this escrow shall close and be consummated in
its entirety.
9. The funds deposited herein shall be invested in federally insured bank
accounts (e.g., savings accounts), short-term certificates of deposit issued by
a bank, short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States
government and any other investments permitted under Rule 15c2-4 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at the direction of the Company.
The interest on such investments shall, on a monthly basis while subscribers'
deposits remain in escrow and, if all conditions herein are met, when such
deposits are disbursed to the Company, be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the
Company in accordance with paragraph 8 hereof.
10. Any notices which are required or desired to be given hereunder to the
parties hereto shall be in writing and may be given by mailing the same to the
address indicated below (or to such other address as either of the parties may
have theretofore substituted therefor by written notification to the other
party hereto), by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid.
For all purposes hereof, any notice so mailed by the Escrow Agent shall be
treated as though served upon the party to whom it was mailed at the time it is
deposited in the United States mail by the Escrow Agent whether or not such
party thereafter actually receives such notice. Notices to the Escrow Agent
shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be given until actually received
by the Escrow Agent's trust department. Whenever under the terms hereof the
time for giving a notice or performing an act falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or
bank holiday, such time shall be extended to the Escrow Agent's next business
day.
11. The Escrow Agent, when acting as the Escrow Agent, undertakes to
perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and the Escrow Agent
shall not be subject to, nor obliged to recognize, any other agreement between,
or direction or instruction of, the Company even though reference thereto may
be made herein; provided, however, this Agreement may be amended at any time or
times by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Escrow
2
<PAGE> 4
Agent. In the event the Escrow Agent becomes involved in or is
threatened with litigation by reason hereof, it is hereby authorized to and may
deposit with the clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction any and all funds
held by it pursuant hereto, and thereupon the Escrow Agent shall stand fully
relieved and discharged of any further duties hereunder.
12. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or
levied upon, under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or
enjoined by any court order, or in any case any order, judgment or decree shall
be made or entered by any court affecting such property, or any part thereof,
then in any of such events, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole
discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or
decree, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding
upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it
shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm
or corporation by reason of such compliance, even though such order, writ,
judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside
or vacated.
13. This Agreement shall be construed, enforced and administered in
accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
14. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable fees in connection
with this Escrow, which fees shall be payable by the Company.
15. The Escrow Agent may resign by giving five days written notice by
registered or first class mail sent to the undersigned at its address herein
set forth; and, thereafter, shall deliver all remaining deposits in said escrow
upon the written and signed order of the undersigned. If no such notice is
received by the Escrow Agent within 30 days after mailing such notice it is
unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and empowered to send any and all
items deposited hereunder by registered mail to the respective depositors
thereof or, at its sole option, to deliver such deposited items to the
respective depositors.

placed under contract or about to be placed under contract by the
Advisor or its Affiliates, provided that: (1) the Company has funds
available to make the purchase; (2) the Board of Directors votes to
make the purchase within five days of being offered such property by
the Advisor; (3) the property meets the Company's acquisition
criteria; and (4) in the event that more than one real estate program
sponsored by the Advisor or its Affiliates has funds available to make
the purchase, such property will first be offered to the program which
has had funds available for the longest period of time;
(b) Manage the Company's day-to-day investment operations
to effect the investment program adopted by the Board of Directors and
perform or supervise the performance of such other administrative
functions necessary in connection with the management of the Company
as may be agreed upon by the Advisor and the Company;
(c) Serve as the Company's investment advisor in
connection with policy decisions to be made by the Board of Directors
and, as requested, furnish reports to the Board of Directors and

Company's investments and investment policies;
(d) On behalf of the Company, investigate, select and
conduct relations with lenders, consultants, accountants, brokers,

with, retain and supervise services performed by such parties in
connection with investments which have been or may be acquired or
disposed of by the Company;
(e) Perform, or cause to be performed by another party
(the "Management Agent") which may be an Affiliate of the Advisor,
such property management services and other activities relating to the
Company's assets as the Advisor shall deem appropriate in the
particular circumstances, subject to the requirement that the Advisor
or the Management Agent, as the case may be, qualifies as an
"independent contractor" as that phrase is used in connection with
applicable laws, rules and regulations affecting REITs that own Real
Property;

(f) Upon request of the Company act, or obtain the

and other liens and security interests securing investments;
(g) Assist in negotiations on behalf of the Company with
investment banking firms and other institutions or investors for

provided, however, that Affiliates of the Advisor have no obligations to the
Company other than as expressly stated herein, and the Advisor and its
Affiliates have no obligations to present to the Company any specific
investment opportunity except as described in the Prospectus.
3. No Partnership or Joint Venture. The Company and the Advisor
are not, and shall not be deemed to be, partners or joint venturers with each
other.
4. Records. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate books of
account and records relating to services performed hereunder, which shall be
accessible for inspection by the Company at any time during ordinary business
hours.
5. REIT Qualifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor shall refrain from any action
which, in its reasonable judgment or in any judgment of the Board of Directors
of which the Advisor has written notice, would adversely affect the
qualification of the Company as a REIT under the Code or which would violate
any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having
jurisdiction over the Company or its securities, or which would otherwise not
be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation. If any such action is ordered
by the Board of Directors, the Advisor shall promptly notify the Board of
Directors of the Advisor's judgment that such action would adversely affect
such status or violate any such law, rule or regulation or the Articles of
Incorporation and shall refrain from taking such action pending further
clarification or instruction from the Board of Directors.
6. Bank Accounts. At the direction of the Board of Directors,
the Advisor may establish and maintain bank accounts in the name of the
Company, and may collect and deposit into and disburse from such accounts any
money on behalf of the Company, under such terms and conditions as the Board of
Directors may approve, provided that no funds in any such account shall be
commingled with funds of the Advisor. The Advisor shall from time to time, as
the Company may require, render appropriate accounting of such collections,
deposits and disbursements to the Board of Directors and to the auditors of the
Company.
7. Fidelity Bond. The Advisor shall not be required to obtain or
maintain a fidelity bond in connection with the performance of its services
hereunder.
8. Information Furnished Advisor. The Board of Directors will
keep the Advisor informed in writing concerning the investment and financing
policies of the Company. The Board of Directors shall notify the Advisor
promptly in writing of its intention to make any investments or to sell or
dispose of any existing investments. The Company shall furnish the Advisor
with a certified copy of all financial statements, a signed copy of each report
8
<PAGE> 10
prepared by independent certified public accountants, and such other
information with regard to its affairs as the Advisor may reasonably request.
9. Compensation. The Advisor and its Affiliates shall be paid
for services rendered by the Advisor under this Agreement as follows:
(a) Acquisition Expenses in an amount estimated to be
0.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds in connection with the expenses
attendant to a property acquisition;
(b) An Advisor Asset Management Fee of not more than 1%
of the Average Invested Assets. This fee will be payable quarterly in
an amount equal to one-fourth of 1% of the Average Invested Assets of
the Company, as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.
For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Advisor may
be required to reimburse the Company certain sums as described in
Section 14;
(c) Reimbursement for the cost to the Advisor and its
Affiliates for: (i) the cost to the Advisor or its Affiliates of goods
and services used for and by the Company and obtained from
unaffiliated parties; and (ii) administrative services related
thereto. "Administrative Services" include only ministerial services
such as typing, recordkeeping, preparation and dissemination of
Company reports, preparation and maintenance of records regarding
Stockholders, recordkeeping and administration of the Distribution
Reinvestment Program, preparation and dissemination of responses to
Stockholder inquiries and other communications with Stockholders and
any other recordkeeping required for Company purposes. Such
reimbursements are subject to limitations imposed by Sections 10(b)
and (c) hereof;
(d) An Incentive Advisory Fee equal to 15% of the
remaining proceeds from the sale of Real Properties after the
Stockholders have first received: (i) their Cumulative Return; and
(ii) the return of their Invested Capital. At such time as this
Agreement is terminated due to the listing for trading of the Shares
on a national exchange or market, the Incentive Advisory Fee shall
also terminate. The Advisor and the Management Agent may be merged
into the Company at the time of listing and may receive Shares in the
Company, in an amount which would be determined at that time, based
upon the value of all fees given up or waived by the Advisor and
Management Agent through the merger; and
(e) A Property Disposition Fee, payable upon the sale of
a Real Property, equal to the lesser of: (i) 3% of the contracted for
sales price of the Real Property; or (ii) 50% of the commission paid
to third parties which is reasonable, customary and competitive in
light of the size, type and location of such property ("Competitive
Real Estate Commission"). The amount paid, when added to the
9
<PAGE> 11
sums paid to unaffiliated parties, shall not exceed the lesser of the
Competitive Real Estate Commission or an amount equal to 6% of the
contracted for sales price. Payment of such fee shall be made only if
the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection
with the sale of the Real Property.
10. Compensation for Additional Services, Certain Limitations.
(a) If the Company shall request the Advisor or its
Affiliates to render services for the Company other than those
required to be rendered by the Advisor hereunder, such additional
services, if performed, will be compensated separately on terms to be
agreed upon between such party and the Company from time to time in
accordance with this Section. The rate of compensation for such
services shall be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the Independent Directors.
(b) In extraordinary circumstances fully justified to the
official or agency administering the state securities laws, the
Advisor and its Affiliates may provide other goods and services to the
Company if all of the following criteria are met: (i) the goods or
services must be necessary to the prudent operation of the Company;
(ii) the compensation, price or fee must be equal to the lesser of 90%
of the compensation, price or fee the Company would be required to pay
to independent parties who are rendering comparable services or
selling or leasing comparable goods on competitive terms in the same
geographic location, or 90% of the compensation, price or fee charged
by the Advisor or its Affiliates for rendering comparable services or
selling or leasing comparable goods on competitive terms; or (iii) if
at least 95% of gross revenues attributable to the business of
rendering such services or selling or leasing such goods are derived
from persons other than Affiliates, the compensation, price or fee
charged by an unaffiliated person who is rendering comparable services
or selling or leasing comparable goods must be on competitive terms in
the same geographic location. In addition, any such payment will be
subject to the further limitation described in paragraph (c) below.
Extraordinary circumstances shall be presumed only when there is an
emergency situation requiring immediate action by the Advisor or its
Affiliates and the goods or services are not immediately available
from unaffiliated parties. Services which may be performed in such
extraordinary circumstances include emergency maintenance of Company
properties, janitorial and other related services due to strikes or
lock-outs, emergency tenant evictions and repair services which
require immediate action, as well as operating and re-leasing
properties with respect to which the leases are in default or have
been terminated.
(c) No reimbursement will be permitted to the Advisor or
its Affiliates under Section 9(d)(ii) above for items such as rent,
depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and other administrative
items and the salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other
administrative items of any controlling persons of the Advisor,
10
<PAGE> 12
its Affiliates or any other supervisory personnel except in those
instances in which the Company believes it to be in the best interest
of the Company that the Advisor or its Affiliates operate or otherwise
deal with, for an interim period, a property with respect to which the
lease is in default or terminated. Permitted reimbursements, except
as set forth above, include salaries and related salary expenses for
non-supervisory services which could be performed directly for the
Company by independent parties such as legal, accounting, transfer
agent, data processing and duplication. Controlling persons, for
purposes of this section, include, but are not limited to those
entities or individuals holding 5% or more of the stock of the Advisor
or a person having the power to direct or cause the direction of the
Advisor, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract
or otherwise, and any person, irrespective of his or her title, who
performs functions for the Advisor similar to those of: (a) chairman
or member of the board of directors; or (b) president or executive
vice-president.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the approval of the
Board of Directors, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses related
to the activities of controlling persons undertaken in capacities other than
those which cause them to be controlling persons. The Advisor believes that
the employees of the Advisor, its Affiliates and controlling persons who
perform services for the Company for which reimbursement is allowed pursuant to
Section 10(b)(iii), have the experience and educational background, in their
respective fields of expertise, appropriate for the performance of such
services.
The Advisor and its Affiliates may not be reimbursed by the Company
for their overhead, nor can overhead costs or expenses of the Advisor or its
Affiliates be allocated to or paid by the Company. The foregoing
reimbursements of expenses, as limited by this Agreement, will be made
regardless of whether any cash distributions are made to the Stockholders.
11. Statements. The Advisor shall furnish to the Company not
later than the tenth day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the second
calendar quarter of the term of this Agreement, a statement showing the
computation of any advisor asset management fee payable to it during such
quarter under Section 9 hereof. The Advisor shall furnish to the Company not
later than the 30th day following the end of each Fiscal Year, a statement
showing a computation of: (i) the Incentive Advisory Fee, if any, payable in
respect of such Fiscal Year under Section 9 hereof; and (ii) the fees or other
compensation payable to the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor with respect
to such Fiscal Year under Sections 9 and 10 hereof. The final settlement of
compensation payable under Sections 9 and 10 hereof for each Fiscal Year shall
be subject to adjustments in accordance with, and upon completion of, the
annual audit of the Company's financial statements.
12. Merger of Advisor and Management Agent. If the Advisor and
the Management Agent merge into the Company at the time of the listing for
trading of the
11
<PAGE> 13
Shares on a national exchange or market, the Advisor and Management Agent will
receive, in exchange for terminating this Agreement and the giving up or
waiving of their fees then earned but not paid, Shares in an amount equal to
the value of the fees given up or waived as determined by the Independent
Directors, who may rely on the valuation prepared by either representatives of
the Company or independent third parties. The Company shall not terminate this
Agreement for the purpose of avoiding such a merger in anticipation of the
listing of the Shares on a national exchange or market.
13. Expenses of the Company. The Company shall pay all of its
expenses and shall reimburse the Advisor for its expenses as provided in
Sections 9 and 10 hereof and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
it is agreed that the following expenses of the Company shall be paid by the
Company:
(a) To the extent the Advisor is not expressly required
to pay such expenses pursuant to this Agreement, salaries and other
employment expenses of the personnel employed by the Company,
directors' fees and expenses incurred in attending directors'
meetings, travel and other expenses incurred by directors, officers
and employees of the Company and the cost of directors' liability
insurance;
(b) The cost of borrowed money;
(c) All taxes applicable to the Company;
(d) Legal, accounting, auditing, underwriting, brokerage,
listing, registration and other expenses and taxes incurred in
connection with the organization or termination of the Company, the
issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and stock exchange or
quotation system listing of the Company's securities;
(e) Fees and expenses paid to advisors, independent
contractors and Affiliates of the Advisor (including a Property
Management Fee payable monthly, which on an annual basis shall not
exceed 4.5% of the Gross Revenues from Properties payable to the
Management Agent) consultants, managers and other agents employed
directly by the Company or by the Advisor at the Company's request for
the account of the Company;
(f) Expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition,
leasing and ownership of investments, including to the extent not paid
by others, but not limited to, legal fees and other expenses of
professional services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property
and brokerage and sales commissions, expenses of maintaining and
managing Real Property equity interests (including the fees and
charges of the Management Agent);
12
<PAGE> 14
(g) All insurance costs incurred in connection with the
Company;
(h) Expenses connected with payments of dividends or
interest or distributions in cash or any form made or caused to be
made by the Board of Directors to holders of securities of the
Company;
(i) All expenses connected with communications to holders
of securities of the Company and the other bookkeeping and clerical
work necessary in maintaining relations with holders of securities and
in complying with the continuous reporting and other requirements of
governmental bodies or agencies, including the cost of printing and
mailing certificates for securities and proxy solicitation materials
and reports to holders of the Company's securities;
(j) Transfer agent and registrar's fees and charges; and
(k) Expenses relating to any office or office facilities
maintained by the Company separate from the office or offices of the
Advisor.
14. Reimbursement by Advisor. On or before the 15th day after the
completion of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements for each
Fiscal Year, the Advisor will reimburse the Company for the amount, if any, by
which the Total Operating Expenses of the Company for such Fiscal Year exceeded
the greater of: (a) 2% of the total of the Company's Average Invested Assets
for such Fiscal Year; or (b) 25% of the Net Income for such Fiscal Year;
provided, however, that the Company may instead permit such reimbursements to
be effected by a reduction in the amount of the monthly payments of
compensation under Section 9(a) hereof during the balance of the Fiscal Year
next following the Fiscal Year with respect to which such reimbursement is to
be made; and provided, further, that only so much of such excess need be
reimbursed as the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent
Directors of the Company, shall determine should justifiably be reimbursed in
light of such unanticipated, unusual or non-recurring factors as may have
occurred. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company
for which Total Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) exceeded 2%
of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income, whichever is greater, there
shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together
with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in
arriving at the conclusion that such higher Total Operating Expenses were
justified.
15. Other Activities of the Advisor. Nothing herein contained
shall prevent the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor from engaging in any
other business or activity including the rendering of services and investment
advice with respect to real estate investment opportunities to any other person
or entity and the management of other investments (including the investments of
the Advisor and its Affiliates).
13
<PAGE> 15
Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Advisor or of
Affiliates of the Advisor may serve as directors, officers, employees or agents
of the Company, but shall receive no compensation (other than reimbursement for
expenses) from the Company for such service.
16. Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement will continue
in force until October 13, 1995, subject to successive one-year renewals with
the mutual consent of the parties including an affirmative vote of a majority
of the Independent Directors. Each extension shall be executed in writing by
both parties hereto before the expiration of this Agreement or of any extension
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary,
either the Company or the Advisor may terminate this Agreement, or any
extension hereof, or the parties by mutual consent or a majority of the
Independent Directors may do so, in each case upon 60 days written notice
without cause or penalty. In the event of the termination of the Agreement,
the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps
requested to assist the Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of
the advisory function.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either
party to the other, except as provided in Section 19.
If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than the merger
of the Advisor into the Company as described in Section 12, all obligations of
the Advisor and its Affiliates to offer property to the Company for purchase,
as described in Section 2(a), shall also terminate.
17. Assignments. The Company may terminate this Agreement in the
event of its assignment by the Advisor except an assignment to a successor
organization which acquires substantially all of the property and carries on
the affairs of the Advisor, provided that following such assignment the persons
who controlled the operations of the Advisor immediately prior thereto shall
control the operations of the successor organization, including the performance
of its duties under this Agreement; however, if at any time subsequent to such
assignment such persons shall cease to control the operations of the successor
organization, the Company may thereupon terminate this Agreement. This
Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company without the consent of the
Advisor, except in the case of assignment by the Company to a corporation,
trust or other organization which is a successor to the Company. Any
assignment of this Agreement shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same
manner as the assignor is bound hereunder.
14
<PAGE> 16
18. Default, Bankruptcy, etc. At the option solely of the
Company, this Agreement shall be terminated immediately upon written notice of
termination from the Board of Directors to the Advisor if any of the following
events occurs:
(a) The Advisor violates any provisions of this Agreement
and after notice of such violation shall not cure such default within
30 days; or
(b) A court of competent jurisdiction enters a decree or
order for relief in respect of the Advisor in any involuntary case
under the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now
or hereafter in effect, or appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Advisor
or for any substantial part of its property or orders the winding up
or liquidation of the Advisor's affairs; or
(c) The Advisor commences a voluntary case under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief
in an involuntary case under any such law, or consents to the
appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of
the Advisor or for any substantial part of its property, or makes any
general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails generally to
pay its debts as they become due.
The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in
subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 18 occur, it will give written
notice thereof to the Company within seven days after the occurrence
of such event.
19. Action Upon Termination. The Advisor shall not be entitled to
compensation after the date of termination of this Agreement for further
services hereunder, but shall be paid all compensation accruing to the date of
termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 12, the Advisor shall
forthwith upon a termination caused by factors other than the listing for
trading of the Shares on a national stock exchange or market:
(a) Pay over to the Company all moneys collected and held
for the account of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, after
deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses
to which it is then entitled;
(b) Deliver to the Board of Directors a full accounting,
including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a
statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the
date of the last accounting furnished to the Board of Directors;
(c) Deliver to the Board of Directors all property and
documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and
15
<PAGE> 17
(d) Cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable
steps requested by the Company to assist the Board of Directors in
making an orderly transition of the Advisory function.
20. Change of Name. The Company recognizes that the name and mark
"Inland" have established prestige and goodwill and have acquired valuable
secondary meanings in the real estate and related industries and in the mind of
the public. The Company desires to associate itself with and benefit from the
"Inland" name, and in consideration of the grant by the Advisor and its
Affiliates of a perpetual royalty-free license to the Company (which license
has been authorized), subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 20,
to use the name and mark "Inland" in connection with a real estate investment
trust throughout the United States, its territories and possessions, the
Company agrees that:
(a) The value of the "Inland" name cannot be reasonably
and adequately compensated for in damages in action at law, and
unauthorized use of the "Inland" name will cause irreparable injury
and damage to the Advisor and its Affiliates. The Advisor or its
Affiliates shall be entitled as a matter of right to injunctive relief
to prevent to the use of the "Inland" name by the Company in the event
of the circumstances described in Subsection (d) below.
(b) The Company agrees to use the "Inland" name and mark
in a manner which will protect the right of the Advisor and its
Affiliates therein and such use shall be as licensee for the account
and benefit of the Advisor and its Affiliates. To the extent any
rights in the name or mark "Inland" are deemed to accrue to the
Company, the Company hereby assigns any and all such rights to the
Advisor and its Affiliates at such time as they may be deemed to
accrue.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed an assignment or grant to the Company of any right, title or
interest in or to the name or mark "Inland" or any other trademarks,
trade names or related service marks, insignias, logos, designs and
color schemes, it being understood that all rights relating thereto
are reserved by the Advisor and its Affiliates, except for the license
hereunder to the Company of the rights to use the name or mark as
specifically and expressly provided herein. The Company agrees to
cooperate fully and in good faith with the Advisor and its Affiliates,
at the expense of the Advisor and its Affiliates, in securing and
preserving the rights of the Advisor and its Affiliates in and to the
name and mark "Inland" and to assist the Advisor and its Affiliates in
executing and causing to be recorded such documents as may be
necessary or desirable to evidence, protect and implement the rights
of the Advisor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) At such time as the Advisor is no longer providing
services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, the
Board of Directors will,
16
<PAGE> 18
upon the request of the Advisor and its Affiliates, promptly cause the
name of the Company to be changed in perpetuity to a name which does
not include any reference to the name "Inland" or any successor
thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon
termination of this Agreement by either party, the Board of Directors
will promptly cause the name of the Company to be changed in
perpetuity to a name which does not include any references to the name
"Inland" or any successor thereof.
21. Amendments. This Agreement shall not be amended, changed,
modified, terminated or discharged in whole or in part except by an instrument
in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or
assigns, or otherwise provided herein.
22. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind any
successors or assigns of the parties hereto as herein
provided.
23. Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland as at the time in effect.
24. Liability and Indemnification.
(a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted, and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, indemnify and
pay or reimburse reasonable expenses to the Advisor and its
Affiliates, provided, that: (A) the Advisor or other party seeking
indemnification has determined, in good faith, that the course of
conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of
the Company; (B) the Advisor or other person seeking indemnification
was acting on behalf of or performing services on the part of the
Company; (C) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence
or misconduct on the part of the indemnified party; and (D) such
indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is recoverable only
out of the assets of the Company and not from the Stockholders.
(b) The Company shall not indemnify the Advisor or its
Affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of
an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party
unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (A) there has
been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving
alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (B)
such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a
court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or
(C) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement if the
claims and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related
costs should be made and the court
17
<PAGE> 19
considering the request has been advised of the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the published opinions of any
state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the
Company were offered and sold as to indemnification for securities law
violations.
(c) The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled
to indemnification hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs
incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is
being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(A) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the
performance of duties or services by the indemnified party for or on
behalf of the Company; (B) the legal action is initiated by a third
party and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such
advancement; and (C) the indemnified party receiving such advances
undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with
the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in which such party
would not be entitled to indemnification.
25. Notices. Any notice, report or other communication required
or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method
of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party
to whom it is given and shall be given by being delivered at the following

Inland Monthly Income Fund III, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
"Corporation"), hereby adopts this Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to foster and promote the long-term
financial success of the Corporation by attracting and retaining outstanding
non-employee directors by enabling them to participate in the Corporation's
growth through the granting of Options (as defined in Article II) which entitle
them to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per
share ("Common Stock").
1.2 PARTICIPATION:
Only directors of the Corporation who at the time an Option is granted
meet the following criteria ("Directors") shall receive an Option under the
Plan: (a) the director is not, and has not been for at least two years, an
employee or officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation;
and (b) the director is a "disinterested person" as such term is defined in
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") or any similar rule which may subsequently be in effect ("Rule 16b-3").
1.3 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN:
Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of Options granted under
the Plan may be in whole or in part from authorized but unissued shares or
treasury shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. A maximum of 50,000 shares
of Common Stock (the "Plan Maximum") may be issued for all purposes under the
Plan (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2). Any shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under Options which for any reason are cancelled or
terminated without having been exercised shall not be counted in determining
whether the Plan Maximum has been reached. Options for fractional shares
shall not be granted.
1.4 GENDER AND NUMBER:
Except when otherwise indicated by the context, words in the masculine
gender when used in the Plan shall include the feminine gender, the singular
shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.

ARTICLE II
STOCK OPTION AWARDS
2.1 AWARD OF STOCK OPTIONS:
Effective on the later of the date on which a Director becomes a member of
the Board of Directors with the Company or October 14, 1994, each Director who
satisfies the conditions set forth in Section 1.2 will automatically be awarded
a stock option (an "Initial Option" or the "Initial Options") under the Plan to
purchase 3,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2) shares of Common
Stock. Effective on the date of each Annual Meeting, commencing with the
Annual Meeting in 1995, each Director then in office who satisfies the
conditions set forth in Section 1.2 will automatically be awarded a stock
option (a "Subsequent Option" or the "Subsequent Options", collectively with
the "Initial Options" referred to herein as an "Option" or "Options") to
purchase 500 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.2) shares of Common
Stock. The Options are not intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" as
defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
2.2 STOCK OPTION CERTIFICATES:
The award of an Option shall be evidenced by a certificate executed by an
officer of the Corporation.
2.3 OPTION PRICE:
The purchase price of Common Stock (the "Option Price") under each Initial
Option granted shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 3.5) of
the Common Stock on the date of the grant, which, until the earlier of (i) the
termination of the Company's offering of Common Stock which commenced on
October 14, 1994 or (ii) October 14, 1996 (the "Initial Offering Period), shall
be $9.05. The Option Price under each Subsequent Option granted on the date of
any Annual Meeting shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
last business day preceding the date of the Annual Meeting, provided however
that during the Initial Offering Period the Option Price shall be $9.05.
2.4 EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS:
(a) Options may be exercised by the delivery of written notice of exercise
and payment of the aggregate Option Price for the shares to be purchased to the
Corporate Secretary of the Corporation. The Option Price may be paid in cash
(including check, bank draft or money order) or, unless in the opinion of
counsel to the Corporation to do so may result in a possible violation of law,
by delivery of Common Stock already owned by the Director, valued at Fair
Market Value on the date of the exercise. As soon as practicable after receipt
of each notice and full payment, the Corporation shall deliver to the Director
a certificate or certificates representing the acquired shares of Common Stock.
(b) Each certificate for Shares issued upon exercise of an Option, unless
at the time of exercise such Shares are registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the
2
<PAGE> 4
"Commission"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall
bear the following legend:
NO SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES SHALL BE
MADE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon
completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under
the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend
unless, in the opinion of such counsel as shall be reasonably approved by the
Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to such
restrictions.
(c) A Director's Initial Option shall become exercisable: (i) 1,000
shares on the date of grant, (ii) 1,000 shares on the first anniversary of the
date of grant, and (iii) 1,000 shares on the second anniversary of the date of
grant (subject to Section 3.1) and shall continue to be exercisable until the
first to occur of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or three months
following the date the Director ceases to be a Director. Each of a Director's
Subsequent Options shall become exercisable on the second anniversary of the
date on which the Subsequent Option(s) was granted (subject to Section 3.1) and
shall continue to be exercisable until the first to occur of the tenth
anniversary of the date on which the Subsequent Option(s) was granted or three
months following the date the Director ceases to be a Director. In the event
that the death or disability of the Director occurs, all outstanding Options
will be exercisable by the Director (or his legal representative or designated
beneficiary) for one year following the Director's death or disability,
provided, however, if the Option is exercised within the first six months after
it becomes exercisable, any shares of Common Stock issued on such exercise may
not be sold until the six month anniversary of the date of the grant of the
Option.
(d) Notwithstanding any other terms or provisions herein to the contrary,
no Option may be exercised if such exercise would jeopardize the Corporation's
status as a real estate investment trust under the Code.
ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
3.1 NONTRANSFERABILITY; BENEFICIARIES:
No Option awarded under the Plan shall be transferable by the Director
otherwise than by will or, if the Director dies intestate, by the laws of
descent and distribution. All Options shall be exercisable during the
Director's lifetime only by the Director or his legal representative. Any
transfer contrary to this Section 3.1 will nullify the Option. In the event of
a Director's death prior to the exercise of any Options which were then
exercisable, such Options may be
3
<PAGE> 5
exercised within one year after the Director's death (regardless of the
expiration date of such Options under Section 2.4(b)) by the Director's
beneficiary, designated as provided below or, in the absence of any such
designation, his estate. Each Director may name, from time to time, any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively)
who may exercise such Options. Each designation will revoke all prior
designations by such Director, will be in writing and will be effective only
when filed with the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation during his lifetime.
3.2 ADJUSTMENT UPON CERTAIN CHANGES:
(a) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are (i) increased,
decreased, or (ii) changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind
of shares or securities of the Corporation, through a reorganization or merger
in which the Corporation is the surviving entity, or through a combination,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, stock
consolidation or otherwise, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
number and kind of shares that may be issued pursuant to an Option. A
corresponding adjustment to the consideration payable with respect to all
Options granted prior to any such change shall also be made. Any such
adjustment, however, shall be made without change in the total payment, if any,
applicable to the portion of the Option not exercised but with a corresponding
adjustment in the price for each share.
(b) Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or upon a
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more
corporations as a result of which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation or upon sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's
property, the Plan shall terminate, and any outstanding Options shall terminate
and be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may
provide in writing in connection with, or in contemplation of, any such
transaction for any or all of the following alternatives (separately or in
combinations): (i) for the assumption by the successor corporation of the
Options theretofore granted or the substitution by such corporation for such
Options of awards covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a parent
or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind
of shares and prices; (ii) for the continuance of the Plan by such successor
corporation in which event the Plan and the Options shall continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided; or (iii) for the payment in cash or
shares of Common Stock in lieu of and in complete satisfaction of such Options.
3.3 AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN:
The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion
thereof at any time and may amend it from time to time in such respects as the
Board of Directors may deem advisable in order that any Options thereunder
shall conform to or otherwise reflect any change in applicable laws or
regulations, or to permit the Corporation or the Directors to enjoy the
benefits of any change in applicable laws or regulations, or in any other
respect the Board of Directors may deem to be in the best interests of the
Corporation; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without
stockholder approval to the extent required by law, agreement or the rules of
any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed or national market on
4
<PAGE> 6
which it may be traded: (a) except as provided in Section 3.2, materially
increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the
Plan; (b) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan; (c) materially increase the benefits accruing to
Directors under the Plan; or (d) extend the termination date of the Plan. No
such amendment, suspension or termination shall: (x) impair the rights of
Directors under any outstanding Option without the consent of the Directors
affected thereby; or (y) make any change that would disqualify the Plan, or any
other plan of the Corporation intended to be so qualified, from the exemption
provided by Rule 16b-3. No provision of the Plan which states the amount and
price of securities to be awarded, specifies the timing of awards or sets forth
the formula that determines the amount, price and timing of awards may be
amended more than once every six months, except to comply with changes in the
Code, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended ("ERISA"), or
the rules thereunder.
3.4 TAX WITHHOLDING:
(a) The Corporation shall have the power to withhold, or require a
Director to remit to the Corporation, an amount sufficient to satisfy any
withholding or other tax due from the Corporation with respect to any amount
payable and/or shares issuable under the Plan, and the Corporation may defer
such payment or issuance unless indemnified to its satisfaction.
(b) Subject to the consent of the Board of Directors, due to the exercise
of an Option, a Director may make an irrevocable election (an "Election") to:
(A) have shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable hereunder withheld; or (B)
tender back to the Corporation shares of Common Stock received; or (C) deliver
back to the Corporation previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the
Director's estimated tax obligations associated with the transaction. Such
Election must be made by a Director prior to the date on which the relevant tax
obligation arises (the "Tax Date"). The Board of Directors may disapprove of
any Election, may suspend or terminate the right to make Elections, or may
provide with respect to any Option under this Plan that the right to make
Elections shall not apply to such Option.
3.5 DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE:
The term "Fair Market Value" as it relates to Common Stock on any given
date means: (a) the mean of the high and low sales prices of the Corporation's
Common Stock as reported on any national exchange on which the Common Stock is
traded; or (b) if the Common Stock is not listed on any national stock
exchange, the mean of the high and low sales prices of the Corporation's Common
Stock as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation System (or, if not so reported, by the system then regarded as the
most reliable source of such quotations) or, if there are no reported sales on
such date, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices as so reported; or (c)
if the Common Stock is listed on a national exchange or quoted in the domestic
over-the-counter market, but there are no reported sales or quotations, as the
case may be, on the given date, the value determined pursuant to (a) or (b)
above using the reported sale prices or quotations on the last previous date on
which so
5
<PAGE> 7
reported; or (d) if none of the foregoing clauses apply, the fair
value as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors
consistently with the provisions of Section 2.3.
3.6 PLAN NOT EXCLUSIVE:
The adoption of the Plan shall not preclude the adoption by appropriate
means of any other stock option or other incentive plan for Directors.
3.7 LISTING, REGISTRATION AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE:
Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time
counsel to the Corporation shall determine that the listing, registration or
qualification thereof or of any shares of Common Stock or other property
subject thereto upon any securities exchange or under any foreign, federal or
state securities or other law or regulation, or the consent or approval of any
governmental body or the taking of any other action to comply with or
otherwise, with respect to any such law or regulation, is necessary or
desirable as a condition to or in connection with the award of such Option or
the issue, delivery or purchase of shares of Common Stock or other property
thereunder, no such Option may be exercised or paid in Common Stock or other
property unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or
other action shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Corporation, and the holder of the award will supply the
Corporation with such certificates, representations and information as the
Corporation shall request and shall otherwise cooperate with the Corporation in
effecting or obtaining such listing, registration, qualification, consent,
approval or other action. The Corporation may at any time impose any
limitations upon the exercise, delivery or payment of any Option which, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors, are necessary or desirable in order to cause
the Plan or any other plan of the Corporation to comply with Rule 16b-3. If
the Corporation as part of an offering of securities or otherwise, finds it
desirable because of foreign, federal or state legal or regulatory requirements
to reduce the period during which Options may be exercised, the Board of
Directors may, without the holders' consent, so reduce such period on not less
than 15 days written notice to the holders thereof.
3.8 RIGHTS OF DIRECTORS:
Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Director any right to serve as a
Director for any period of time or to continue his present or any other rate of
compensation.
3.9 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW; GOVERNING LAW:
The granting of Options under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental
agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. The Plan, and
all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of Illinois. The provisions of this Plan shall be
interpreted so as to comply with the conditions or requirements of Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act, unless a contrary interpretation of any such provision
is otherwise required by applicable law.
