PROSPECTUS
INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
$11.00 PER SHARE MINIMUM INITIAL PURCHASE - 300 SHARES
(100 SHARES FOR TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES)
Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation,
is an infinite-life real estate investment trust (a "REIT"), formed in 1994 to
invest in Neighborhood Retail Centers and Community Centers located primarily
within a 400-mile radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois as well as
single-user retail properties located throughout the United States. The Company
owns 43 Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven Community Centers and nine
single-user retail properties and intends to use the Net Proceeds of this
Offering (after funding appropriate working capital reserves) primarily to
acquire additional properties. See "Investment Objectives and Policies." The
Company's day-to-day operations are managed by Inland Real Estate Advisory
Services, Inc. (the "Advisor").
Of the 28,058,370 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value
per share offered hereby (the "Shares"), a total of 25,000,000 Shares are being
offered on a "best efforts" basis (the "Offering"); a total of 2,000,000 Shares
are being offered for distribution to Stockholders participating in the
Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP"); up to 433,370 Shares
may be issued upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with Prior
Offerings; and up to 625,000 Shares may be issued upon the exercise of warrants
granted in connection with the Offering. Capitalized terms used in this
Prospectus and not defined in the text are defined in the "Glossary."
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SEE "RISK
FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 18. THESE RISKS INCLUDE THE FACT THAT:
o There is currently no public trading market for the Shares and
therefore the offering price of the Shares may not be indicative of the
price that the Shares may trade if they were listed on an exchange or
of the proceeds that a Stockholder may receive if the Company was
liquidated or dissolved. An investment in the Shares is suitable only
for those able to make a long-term investment; (page 18)
o The Offering is not conditioned upon the Company raising a minimum
amount of proceeds. The Company may not raise proceeds sufficient to
apply to any use other than payment of organization and offering
expenses associated with the Offering; (page 18)
o Although the Company intends to purchase properties, whenever possible,
on an all-cash basis, the Company assumed debt as part of the
acquisition price on seven properties and utilized short-term financing
acquired from an Affiliate to acquire six properties. The Company may
incur additional indebtedness secured by existing properties or
properties acquired in the future. Defaults on this indebtedness could
cause the Company to lose its investment in such properties; (page 19)
o Except for six properties, the Company has not specified any additional
acquisitions; (page 18)
o The Company relies on the Advisor and its Affiliates to operate the
Company on a daily basis and manage its assets and pays the Advisor and
its Affiliates substantial fees for rendering these services; (page 21)
o No person may own more than 9.8% of the Shares; (page 20)
o Affiliates of the Advisor are engaged in similar real estate activities
which may subject them to various conflicts of interest in managing the
Company's operations. These conflicts include competition for the time
and services of these individuals, payments which may not be on fair
market terms 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; and (page 21)
o Stockholders have no preemptive rights, and, therefore, further
issuance(s) of Shares by the Company may dilute the interests of
investors purchasing in this Offering. (page 22)

<PAGE> 3
(1) A total of 25,000,000 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, in
certain instances, issue a warrant to purchase one Share during the
Exercise Period at $13.20 per share for every 40 Shares sold (the
"Soliciting Dealer Warrants"). The Dealer Manager may retain or reallow
all or a part of this compensation, including the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants, to certain Soliciting Dealers unless prohibited by either
federal or state securities laws; provided that the Company will not
issue warrants to purchase more than 625,000 shares. The Dealer Manager
will also 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. Volume
discounts may be given on orders of 20,000 Shares or more.
(2) Before deducting Organization and Offering Expenses, payable from
proceeds of the Offering, estimated at $6,974,110 if 27,000,000 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 agrees to pay the excess
expenses.
(3) A total of 25,000,000 Shares are being offered on a "best efforts"
basis and a total of 2,000,000 Shares are being offered for
distribution to Stockholders participating in the Company's
Distribution Reinvestment Program. Participation in the DRP is limited
to those investors who purchased Shares in the Prior Offerings or who
purchase Shares in this Offering. Participants may purchase Shares at a
reduced price due to lower administrative costs ($10.45 per Share). In
addition, assuming all 625,000 warrants are issued to the Dealer
Manager, the Company will receive additional proceeds of $800.00;
assuming these warrants are exercised at the warrant price of $13.20,
the Company will receive additional proceeds of $8,250,000. No
commission will be paid in connection with the issuance of the warrants
or the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
The Shares offered hereby 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 April ___, 2000. Subscription proceeds received from
investors will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, pending release to the
Company. Since no minimum offering amount has been specified, 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.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS
THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OF
THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK HAS NOT PASSED ON OR
ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
UNLAWFUL.
THE COMPANY IS NOT A MUTUAL FUND OR AN INVESTMENT COMPANY WITHIN THE
MEANING OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND, THEREFORE,
INVESTORS WILL NOT HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE PROTECTIONS PROVIDED BY THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED.
THE USE OF FORECASTS IN THIS OFFERING IS PROHIBITED. ANY
REPRESENTATIONS TO THE CONTRARY AND ANY PREDICTIONS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, AS TO THE
AMOUNT OR CERTAINTY OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CASH BENEFIT OR TAX CONSEQUENCES
WHICH MAY FLOW FROM AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY IS PROHIBITED.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is 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 The Company owns and operates 43 Neighborhood Retail
Centers, seven Community Centers (as hereinafter defined)
and nine single-user retail properties. The Company intends
to acquire additional existing Neighborhood Retail Centers,
Community Centers, and single-user retail properties. The
Company is permitted to acquire Neighborhood Retail Centers
and Community Centers located primarily within a 400 mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The
Company may acquire single-user retail properties located
throughout the United States including single-user retail
properties acquired in sale and leaseback transactions in
which creditworthy tenants enter into triple-net leases with
the Company. As of April 1, 1998, the Company had
approximately $64,600,000 available for acquisition of
additional properties.
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:
o Selectively acquiring well-located Neighborhood Retail
Centers and Community Centers, as well as single-user
retail properties, triple-net leased by creditworthy
tenants.
o Whenever possible, acquire properties on an all-cash
basis to provide the Company with a competitive
advantage over potential purchasers who must secure
financing. The Company may, however, acquire properties
subject to existing indebtedness or incur indebtedness
secured by properties previously purchased on an
all-cash basis if the Company believes favorable
financing terms are available. The proceeds from these
loans are used primarily to acquire additional
properties. A total of 48 of the Company's 59 properties
are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness including one
property where financing by an Affiliate was assumed.
1
<PAGE> 10
Operations:
o Actively manage costs and minimize operating expenses by
centralizing all management, leasing, marketing,
financing, accounting, renovation and data processing
activities.
o Improve rental income and cash flow by aggressively
marketing rentable space.
o Emphasize regular maintenance and periodic renovation to
meet the needs of tenants and to maximize long-term
returns.
o Maintain a diversified tenant base at its Neighborhood
Retail Centers and Community Centers, consisting
primarily of retail tenants providing consumer goods and
services.
The Company is a Maryland corporation which has elected to
be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for
federal income tax purposes. See, generally "Federal Income
Tax Considerations." The Company is located at 2901
Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 (630) 218-8000.
SHARES OUTSTANDING
BEFORE OFFERING A total of 35,802,995 Shares (including 855,795 Shares
issued under the Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program
(the "DRP") and 20,000 Shares purchased by the Advisor) were
outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. The Company
previously sold (i) 5,000,000 shares in a best efforts
offering at $10 per share and 78,509 shares under the DRP
that commenced on October 14, 1994 and was completed on July
22, 1996; (ii) an additional 10,000,000 shares in a best
efforts offering, also at $10 per share, plus 318,388 shares
under the DRP that commenced on July 24, 1996 and was
completed on July 10, 1997; and (iii) an additional
20,000,000 shares in a "best efforts" offering at a price of
$10 per share plus 661,928 shares under the DRP that
commenced on July 14, 1997 and was completed on March 31,
1998 (collectively the "Prior Offerings").
SHARES OUTSTANDING
POST OFFERING Assuming the sale of all Shares offered hereby on a "best
efforts" basis, the Company will have 60,000,000 shares
outstanding (not taking into account shares which may be
issued under the Company's DRP or shares issuable upon
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants or upon exercise
of options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan).
TERMS OF THE
OFFERING The Company is offering 28,038,370 shares of common stock,
$.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of which 25,000,000
Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis;
2,000,000 Shares which may be issued to Stockholders who are
participating in the Company's
2
<PAGE> 11
DRP; up to 433,370 Shares underlying 433,370 warrants issued
in Prior Offerings which may be issued upon the exercise of
the warrants; and up to 625,000 Shares underlying 625,000
warrants (also offered hereby) which may be issued upon the
exercise of the warrants granted in connection with the
Offering. A "best efforts" offering is one in which the
securities dealers participating in the Offering are under
no obligation to purchase any of the Shares being offered
and, therefore, no specified amount is guaranteed to be
raised. Except for shares purchased through the DRP or
acquired upon exercise of Soliciting Dealers Warrants,
subscribers must initially purchase a minimum of 300 Shares
($3,300), except for Tax-Exempt Entities (as defined herein)
who must purchase a minimum of 100 Shares. Minimum
investment standards for Tax-Exempt Entities may be higher
in certain states. 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 April ___, 2000 (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 17. The following is a summary of the
risks which the Company believes are most relevant to an
investment in the Shares.
Investment Risks:
o There is currently no public trading market for the
Shares and, therefore, the Shares constitute an illiquid
investment. In addition, the offering price of the Shares
may not be indicative of the price that the Shares may
trade if they were listed on an exchange or of the
proceeds that a Stockholder may receive if the Company
was liquidated or dissolved.
o As of April 1, 1998, the Company had approximately
$64,600,000 available for additional acquisitions, and,
except for six properties, has not specified any
additional properties for acquisition.
o The Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur
property were acquired by the Company from Inland
Property
3
<PAGE> 12
Sales, Inc., an Affiliate, and the Elmhurst City Center,
from an Independent Director of the Company. Acquisitions
from Affiliates and/or related parties 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 may be less advantageous to the Company
than an arm's-length transaction.
o The Company competes 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 properties which it
desires and have an adverse impact on the Company's
business.
o Acquisition of Neighborhood Retail Centers and Community
Centers (but not single-user retail properties) is
primarily limited to the approximate 400-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 and, hence, the
Company's results of operations and financial condition,
including the Company's ability to pay dividends.
o Defaults on indebtedness secured by the Company's
properties may result in the Company losing its
investment in the properties securing the loan.
o To satisfy certain federal income tax requirements for
qualification as a REIT, 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 Company's
shares of common stock. These limitations may discourage,
impede or prevent a merger, tender offer or proxy
contest, even if such an event would be favorable to the
interests of stockholders.
o The Company has established a working capital reserve of
approximately $3,500,000 (equal to 1% of the gross
offering proceeds from the Company's Prior Offerings) 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
cash needs of the Company which may be forced to obtain
financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated
sources. Additional financing would increase the
Company's indebtedness and the risks associated
therewith.
o Under certain circumstances, the Company may borrow
funds to maintain operations of one or more of its
properties or enable it to
4
<PAGE> 13
maintain its REIT status, thus increasing the Company's
indebtedness.
Company Risks:
o 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 services which may not be on market terms
and the possibility that the Company may do business
with entities that have pre-existing relationships with
the Advisor or its Affiliates may result in a conflict
between the ongoing business relationship of the Advisor
or its Affiliates and the Company's business.
o The Company's ability to achieve its goals will
depend, to a large extent, on the quality of management
provided by the Advisor and its Affiliates. For the past
ten years, Affiliates of the Advisor have sponsored
seven programs. Certain of these programs have
experienced setbacks, such as commercial tenant defaults
or move-outs. These negative events, which vary by
program, have had the effect of reducing the benefits
which investors in those programs have received. See
"Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates" and
"Prior Performance Tables."
o The Advisor and its Affiliates are paid substantial
fees and payments for services rendered to the Company
whether or not Stockholders receive Distributions.
o The Company may issue shares or other securities in
addition to Shares issued in this Offering, thereby
diluting the interest of existing Stockholders,
including investors in this Offering, none of whom have
preemptive rights.
o In most cases, matters requiring stockholder approval
may be approved by a vote of only a majority of the
Stockholders. 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 common stock.
Risks of Real Estate Ownership:
o All equity real estate investments are subject to some
degree of general economic risks, including lease
defaults, which could adversely affect the Company's
results of operations and financial condition, and the
Company's ability to make Distributions. This
5
<PAGE> 14
risk is borne by Stockholders in proportion to the
number of shares of common stock owned by each
Stockholder.
o Adverse trends for the property types to be acquired by
the Company or adverse economic developments in general
could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations and financial condition, including the
Company's ability to make Distributions.
o Violation of environmental and other governmental
regulations could result in substantial expenditures by,
or damages to, the Company and adversely affect the
Company's results of operations and financial condition,
including the Company's ability to make Distributions.
o Unanticipated renovation or remodeling costs incurred
to re-lease the Company's properties could adversely
affect the Company's results of operations and financial
condition, including the Company's ability to make
Distributions.
Tax Risks:
o 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 the Company will be able to satisfy these
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, due to certain of the Code provisions
applicable to REITS, the Company does not intend to hold
property as Inventory Property even though holding as
Inventory Property may produce higher selling prices.
o If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, its
Distributions would not be deductible, which would
increase its tax liability substantially reducing the
funds available for distribution to Stockholders. The
Company could be forced to borrow to pay these tax
liabilities, liquidate certain investments or take other
steps which could adversely affect the Company's results
of operations and financial conditions, including its
ability to pay future Distributions.

<PAGE> 15
o Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. ("Counsel") has rendered its
opinion that as of March 31, 1998, and, based on certain
representations of the Company as described throughout
the Prospectus regarding the Company's operations, 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
prior, current and anticipated methods 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
Company's ability to maintain its REIT status will
depend upon its ability (based on its actual operating
results) to meet the REIT Requirements. Counsel will not
review compliance with the REIT Requirements on a
continuing basis after the initial effectiveness date of
the Registration Statement or issue any opinions in the
future unless expressly requested to do so. The opinion
of Counsel represents its legal judgment based on the
law in effect as of the date of this Prospectus; it 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.
ERISA Risks:
o 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."
Failure by the Company to effectively manage the impact of
these risks may impair the Company's ability to meet its
investment objectives and, therefore, the benefits to the
Stockholders from their investment in the Company may be
reduced or entirely eliminated. See "Risk Factors" and
"Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates."
INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES The Company's investment objectives are to:
AND POLICIES
o Provide regular Distributions to Stockholders; the
amount of these Distributions may exceed the Company's
taxable income, particularly in the early years of the
Company's operations, due to
7
<PAGE> 16
the "non-cash" nature of depreciation expense and, to
such extent, will constitute a 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,
these Distributions would constitute a return of capital
and would be sheltered from current taxation for
Stockholders. A return of capital, however, will reduce
a Stockholder's tax basis in his or her Shares, which
will result in more taxable gain or less taxable loss
upon 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 upon sale of a
property. 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;
o 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; and
o Minimize leverage by acquiring well-located
Neighborhood Retail Centers, Community Centers and
single-user retail properties on an all-cash basis,
whenever possible. The Company will, in certain
instances, utilize borrowing to acquire properties or
incur mortgage indebtedness secured by the property if
the Company believes that post-acquisition financing
terms are favorable.
Currently, 48 of the Company's 59 properties are encumbered
by mortgage indebtedness. See "Real Property Investments."
The proceeds from these loans have been, and any such future
loans will be, used primarily to acquire additional
properties. The Company may also incur indebtedness to
finance improvements to the acquired properties. The Company
anticipates that aggregate borrowings secured by the
Company's properties will not exceed 50% of its combined
fair market value and the maximum amount of borrowings may
not exceed 300% of Net Assets without approval of a majority
of the Stockholders. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately $154,000,000 indebtedness secured by its
properties. The Company does not anticipate incurring
indebtedness to fund Distributions payable 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."
8
<PAGE> 17
To the extent possible, the Company seeks to avoid
fluctuations in Distributions which might result if
Distributions were based on actual cash received during the
Distribution period. To do this the Company may utilize Cash
Flow generated during prior periods, or utilize Cash Flow
generated 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 utilize this policy is dependent upon
the availability of Cash Flow and the applicable REIT rules.
The Company seeks, subject to the applicable REIT rules
(including the Distribution requirements), 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. Since inception through September 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. However, the Company
reserves a right, at any time, to revert to paying
Distributions on a quarterly basis. 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 $.87 per share.
Affiliates of the Advisor have extensive experience in
acquiring and managing properties similar to those which
have been acquired, or which the Company anticipates
acquiring. There is no assurance, however, that the Company
will achieve its investment objectives. Although the Company
owns 43 Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven Community Centers
and nine single-user properties, except for six properties,
it has not specified any other properties to be acquired.
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 acquire properties,
pay expenses of the Offering and Acquisition Expenses, and
to pay expenses associated with operating the Company
(primarily the fees due to Affiliates described herein) 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" and
"Compensation to be Paid to the Advisor and Its Affiliates."

<PAGE> 18
THE ADVISOR Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. (the "Advisor"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("IREIC"), serves as
Advisor to the Company. The Advisor is an Illinois
corporation with its principal place of business located at
2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 (630)
218-8000. As of June 30, 1997, IREIC had an audited net
worth of approximately $95.1 million, much of which is
illiquid. Limited partnerships for which IREIC is
responsible own in excess of 11.9 million square feet of
commercial property. See "Management."
COMPENSATION TO BE
PAID TO THE ADVISOR
AND ITS AFFILIATES The Advisor and its Affiliates will be paid substantial
amounts for managing the Company's business. The most
significant items of compensation are:
Offering Stage: Selling commissions to Inland Securities
Corporation, the Dealer Manager, of 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 equal to 2.5% of the Gross
Offering Proceeds (the "Marketing Contribution and Due
Diligence Expense Allowance Fee"), some of which may be
retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers. As of December
31, 1997, the Company had paid selling commissions and
Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance
Fees totaling $23,125,028 in connection with the Prior
Offerings. Approximately $19,580,000 of this amount was
reallowed to Soliciting Dealers as of December 31, 1997. In
certain cases, the Dealer Manager will receive one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by each
Soliciting Dealer during the Offering, some or all of which
may be retained or reallowed to the Soliciting Dealers. Each
Soliciting Dealer Warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one Share from the Company at a price of $13.20
during the Exercise Period. See "Compensation Table" and
"Description of Securities--Soliciting Dealer Warrants."
Acquisition Stage: Reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket
acquisition expenses to the Advisor of approximately 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 to the Advisor. The Company and the Advisor have
agreed that if the Company is unable to pay Distributions in
an amount equal to a non-compounded return equal to 8% per
annum on Invested Capital (the "Current Return"), the
Advisor will remit the Advisor Asset Management Fee to the
Company. An Affiliate of the Advisor, Inland Commercial
Property Management, Inc., also receives a Property
Management Fee equal to not more than 4.5% of the gross
income
10
<PAGE> 19
earned from the Company's properties (90% of the fee
typically charged by a third party), paid monthly. For the
year ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred and paid
Advisor Asset Management Fees of $843,000 (.45% of the
Average Invested Assets). The Company incurred and paid
Property Management Fees of $1,120,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997. See "Compensation Table" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations of the Company."
Liquidation Stage: A Property Disposition Fee paid to the
Advisor 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. 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 paid to the
Advisor. In the event the Company's shares of common stock
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 of
common stock and the Company will no longer be obligated to
pay fees to the Advisor. See "Compensation Table."
The Advisor and its Affiliates may receive a number of other
incidental fees for services or expense reimbursement during
the operational and liquidation stages of the Company. See,
generally, "Compensation Table" and "Management--Other
Services."
REAL PROPERTY
INVESTMENTS The Company owns 43 Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven
Community Centers and nine single-user retail properties.
The Company utilized $250,000,000 raised in the Prior
Offerings to acquire these properties. Forty-eight of the
properties are encumbered by outstanding indebtedness of
approximately $154,000,000, as of March 31, 1998. The
Company has approximately $64,600,000 available for
investment in additional properties plus an additional
$11,500,000 available from loan commitments not yet funded.
The Company has specified six additional properties for
investment. See "Real Property Investments--Potential
Property Acquisitions."
The terms of each of the Company's acquisitions 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 price of any
particular property did not exceed its appraised value at
the time of acquisition. Two of the properties were acquired
from an Affiliate and one from an Independent Director of
the Company. There can be no assurance that the prices paid
for these properties did not exceed that which would be paid
by an unrelated buyer. See "Risk Factors--Company
Risks--Prices Paid for Properties
11
<PAGE> 20
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 and/or unaffiliated
third parties as co-owners of a property. With respect to
investments made with Affiliates, 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 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 six public real estate programs and one private
real estate program which have raised in excess of
$174,500,000 from over 15,800 investors.
Two of the Inland-sponsored public programs have investment
objectives similar to the Company's. 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. These
negative events, which vary by program, have had the effect
of reducing the benefits which investors in those programs
have received from those originally contemplated. See "Prior
Performance of the Company's Affiliates" and "Prior
Performance Tables."
ORGANIZATIONAL
DOCUMENTS Investors should be particularly aware of the following
provisions contained in the Company's Second Articles of
Amendment and Restatement, as amended (the "Articles"):
o Limitation on accumulation of shares: In order for the
Company to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of common stock 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 contain restrictions
on the number of shares of common stock that may be owned
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 of common stock, which offers may be attractive to
Stockholders; or (iii) limit the opportunity for
Stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of
common stock in the event an investor is making purchases
of shares of common stock in order to acquire a block of
shares of common stock. See "Description of
Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."
12
<PAGE> 21
o Voting rights: Each share of common stock is entitled to
one vote and the Articles do not provide for cumulative
voting. Stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding
shares of common stock 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 assets of the Company other
than in connection with a dissolution of the Company. All
Stockholders are bound by the vote of Stockholders owning
a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock,
even if a Stockholder does not vote with the majority.
Stockholders owning in the aggregate at least 10% of the
outstanding shares of common stock may request the
Directors to call a meeting for the purpose of voting on
any of the foregoing.
o Stockholders owning at least two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of common stock must approve certain
exchange offers, mergers, consolidations or similar
transactions commonly known as "Roll-Ups," which affect
certain Stockholder rights. These 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,
which offers may be attractive to Stockholders; and (iii)
limiting the opportunity for Stockholders to receive a
premium for their shares of common stock in the event an
investor is making purchases of shares of common stock in
order to acquire a block of shares of common stock.
o Changes in investment objectives and policies: The
Company's investment objectives or policies may only be
changed by amending the Articles, which requires the
affirmative vote of Stockholders holding a majority of
the outstanding shares of common stock.
o Distributions: Distributions are payable out of funds
legally available to pay distributions.
See "Summary of the Organizational Documents" and
"Description of Securities."

<PAGE> 22
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:
o The Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP") allows
Stockholders who have purchased shares in the Prior
Offerings or who purchase Shares in this Offering to
purchase additional shares by automatically reinvesting
Distributions, subject to the limitations on share
ownership contained in the Articles. These purchases may
be made at $10.45 per share, a reduction from the
Offering Price reflecting lower costs associated with
these issuances. See "Distribution Reinvestment and
Share Repurchase Programs -- Distribution Reinvestment
Program."
o The Share Repurchase Program allows, subject to certain
restrictions, existing Stockholders to sell Shares back
to the Company at a price equal to $9.05 per share. The
Company repurchases shares on a first come, first served
basis, subject to the following limits: (i) not more
than $500,000 worth of the outstanding shares (based on
the repurchase price) may be repurchased in any given
year; and (ii) the funds utilized to repurchase are
limited to available proceeds received by the Company
from the sale of shares under the Distribution
Reinvestment Program. Shares purchased by the Company
pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program will be
canceled and have the status as authorized but unissued
shares. The repurchased shares will not be reissued
unless they are first registered with the Commission.
The Company may terminate the Share Repurchase Program
if a secondary market for the Company's shares develops
or if the shares are listed on a national securities
exchange or included 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, income and other suitability
requirements which investors must satisfy prior to
subscribing for Shares. 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 for investors residing in certain
states. See "Who May Invest."
ANNUAL VALUATIONS Stockholders 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. The Company
will cease providing these annual statements of value if
14
<PAGE> 23
the shares become listed on a national stock exchange or are
included for quotation on a national market system. 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
Share Price/Limited Liquidity. The offering price of the
Shares was determined by the Board in the exercise of its business judgment but
may not be indicative of the price that the Shares may trade if they were
listed on an exchange or of the proceeds that a Stockholder may receive if the
Company was liquidated or dissolved. Further, 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, if at all. See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Additional
Offerings and Exchange Listing."
No Minimum Offering. The Offering is not conditioned upon the
Company raising a minimum amount of proceeds and the release of subscription
proceeds from the escrow is not conditioned upon the Company's selling a
minimum number of Shares. As a result, the Company may not raise proceeds
sufficient to apply to any use other than payment of the organization and
offering expenses associated with the Offering.
Partially Specified Fund. As of the date of this Prospectus,
only six additional properties have been specified for acquisition by the
Company. 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
funds available for investment ($64,600,000) or with the Net Proceeds of this
Offering (after funding of appropriate working capital reserves). There may be
a delay between the sale of the Shares and the Company's purchase of other
properties, which could result in a delay in the benefits to investors, if any,
of an investment in the Company.
The Advisor evaluates potential additional property
acquisitions and engages in discussions with sellers on behalf of the Company.
During the pendency of the Offering, as soon as the Advisor believes a
reasonable probability exists that a property will be acquired on specified
terms 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 a property will be acquired on the same terms as
described in the relevant supplement or other disclosure document prepared with
respect thereto. In addition, properties which are identified for acquisition
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 acquired
18
<PAGE> 27
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 the 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 and Community Centers. Acquisition of Neighborhood
Retail Centers and Community Centers (but not single-user retail properties) is
limited primarily to the approximate 400-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 properties.
Company's Experience in Acquiring Properties Within a 400
Mile Radius is Limited. A majority of the Company's properties were acquired
within a 150-mile radius of the Company's headquarters located in Oak Brook,
Illinois. In March of 1998, a majority of the Company's Stockholders adopted a
proposal to amend the Company's investment objectives and policies to permit
the Company to expand the geographic area in which the Company may acquire
properties from the 150-mile radius to an area primarily within a 400-mile
radius. The Company has limited experience purchasing properties outside of
the original 150-mile radius on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company,
if at all. Failure to be able to purchase properties within the expanded
radius may have an adverse material effect on the Company's financial condition
and results of operation.
Insufficient Reserves. The Company has established a working
capital reserve of $3,500,000 (equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds from
the Prior Offerings) and will supplement this reserve with an additional 1% of
the Gross Offering Proceeds from this Offering. However, if these reserves
prove insufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, the Company may have to
obtain financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated sources to fund these
cash requirements. 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. The Company has and will continue, in certain
instances, to utilize borrowing to acquire properties and incur or increase
mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected properties. The
proceeds from these loans have been and will be used primarily to acquire
additional properties. The Company may incur indebtedness if necessary to
satisfy the requirement that the Company distribute 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. Incurring mortgage indebtedness increases the
risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by the Company's properties
may result in foreclosure actions initiated by the lenders and loss by the
Company of the property securing the loan which is in default. For tax
purposes, 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. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage
exceeds the Company's basis in the property, the Company would recognize
taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. The
Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings secured by all of the Company's
properties will not exceed 50% of their combined fair market values; provided
that in the absence of the consent of a majority of the Stockholders,
indebtedness may not exceed 300% of Net Assets. As of March 31, 1998, the
Company's total indebtedness is approximately $154,000,000.
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 of common stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by
five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable
year. To ensure that the Company will not fail to qualify as a REIT under this
test, the
19
<PAGE> 28
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 of common stock, which offers may
be attractive to Stockholders; or (iii) limit the opportunity for Stockholders
to receive a premium for their shares of common stock in the event an investor
is making purchases of shares of common stock in order to acquire a block of
shares of common stock. See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on
Transfer."
Objectives of Joint Venture Partners May Conflict with the
Company's Objectives. The Company may, from time to time, make property
investments in joint ventures between the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor
or unaffiliated third parties. Investments in joint ventures which own
properties may involve risks not otherwise present when the Company purchases
the property directly. For example, the Company's co-venturer may file for
bankruptcy protection, may have economic or business interests or goals which
are inconsistent with the interests or goals of the Company or take actions
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 result in other adverse consequences. See "Investment
Objectives and Policies--Joint Ventures."
Company's Ability to Enter into Joint Venture or Other
Partnership Arrangements with Entities Unaffiliated with the Advisor and its
Affiliates. In March of 1998, a majority of the Company's Stockholders adopted
a proposal to amend the Company's investment objectives and policies to permit
the Company to enter into joint venture or other partnership arrangements with
entities unaffiliated with the Advisor or its Affiliates. Prior to March of
1998, the Company was permitted to invest in general partnerships with
Affiliates of the Advisor other than publicly-registered Affiliates under
certain circumstances. The risk of entering into these arrangements with
unaffiliated entities is that the unaffiliated entities may have goals and
objectives that differ from those of the Company.
Seller Financing by Company May Delay Liquidation or
Reinvestment. The Company may sell its properties by providing financing to
purchasers. 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 property sales, the Company bears the risk
of default by the borrower and is subject to remedies provided by law.
Additionally, as a result of accepting promissory notes or other property in
lieu of cash from property sales, distribution of sales proceeds may be delayed
or spread over a number of years. See "Investment Objectives and
Policies--Sale or Disposition of Properties."
Loss on Dissolution and Termination. In the event of
dissolution or termination of the Company, the undistributed proceeds realized
from the liquidation of assets, if any, will be distributed to Stockholders
after satisfying 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. There
can be no assurance that any proceeds will be available after satisfying the
claims of creditors and paying the expenses of liquidation.
2. COMPANY RISKS
Prices Paid for Properties Acquired from Affiliates may Exceed
Prices that would have been 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 and one property,
Elmhurst City Center, from an Independent Director. The Articles provide that
the Company may not purchase any property from an Affiliate unless: (i) a
majority
20
<PAGE> 29
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 (ii) the price to the Company is no greater than the cost of
the asset to the Affiliate unless substantial justification for a greater price
exists and the additional price is reasonable. In no event may the cost to the
Company exceed the property's current appraised value. All of the Directors
(including a majority of the disinterested Independent Directors) approved the
purchases described above. However, there can be no assurance that the prices
paid for these properties, or properties which may in the future be acquired
from Affiliates and/or related parties, did not or would not exceed that which
would be paid by an unrelated buyer.
Conflicts of Interest Between the Company and its Affiliates
and Payments to Affiliates. The operation and management of the Company may be
influenced or affected by conflicts of interest arising out of the Advisor's
relationship with its Affiliates on the one hand, and the Company on the other
hand. For example, the Company competes with Affiliates for the Advisor's time
and services. Further, the due diligence investigation of the Company by the
Dealer Manager, also an Affiliate, 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 Offering, including sales commissions of up to 7% of Gross
Offering Proceeds which the Dealer Manager may reallow to Soliciting Dealers
($19,250,000 assuming the Maximum Offering is sold) and marketing contribution
and due diligence expense allowance fees equal to 2.5% of Gross Offering
Proceeds ($6,875,000 assuming the Maximum Offering is sold). An Affiliate will
be reimbursed for costs related to organizing and offering the Shares for sale.
The amount of these reimbursable expenses cannot be estimated at this time. An
Affiliate will also be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket acquisition expenses
of approximately 0.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds ($1,479,500 assuming the
Maximum Offering is sold) including proceeds raised from the sale of shares in
the DRP. Further, an Advisor Asset Management Fee of not more than 1% per
annum of the Average Invested Assets is paid quarterly to the Advisor and a
Property Management Fee equal to not more than 4.5% of the gross income earned
from each of the Company's properties on a monthly basis is paid to an
Affiliate, which fee is dependent upon results of operations. The Advisor
also receives 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. After receipt by Stockholders of a cumulative noncompounded 8%
per annum return of Invested Capital and a return of their Invested Capital, an
Incentive Advisory Fee equal to 15% of the net proceeds from the sale of a
property may be paid to the Advisor. In addition to property management, the
Advisor and its Affiliates provide other property-level services to the Company
and receive compensation for these services, in such amounts that are dependent
upon results of operations and therefore cannot be determined at the present
time. The fees received by the Advisor or its Affiliates may cause the Advisor
to delay sale of properties or liquidation of the Company, even if sale or
liquidation were otherwise in Stockholder's best interests. The Advisor and
its Affiliates will receive substantial fees and payments for services rendered
to the Company irrespective of whether Stockholders receive Distributions.
These fees will also be greater than the costs that the Company would incur if
it was self-administered and performed these services in-house. If an
Affiliate breaches its fiduciary obligations to the Company, or does not
resolve conflicts ofinterest in the manner described in the
21
<PAGE> 30
section of this Prospectus titled "Conflicts of Interest--Process for
Resolution of Conflicting Opportunities," the Company may not meet its
investment objectives. See "Compensation Table" and "Management--The Advisory
Agreement."
Dependence on the Directors and Advisor. The Company's
ability to achieve its investment objectives 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. Therefore,
the Company is 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 these 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. Stockholders have no preemptive rights, and
therefore, in the event the Company: (i) subsequently sells additional shares
or securities convertible into shares; or (ii) issues shares of common stock 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 of common stock 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
Offerings and to be issued in connection with this Offering 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 will 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 Articles, in the case of the Directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company, and the Advisory Agreement, in the case of
the Advisor, require the Company to indemnify those individuals or entities for
certain actions taken by them on behalf of the Company in good faith and
without negligence or misconduct, except for those individuals that are or were
Independent Directors, in which case such action must have been without gross
negligence or willful misconduct. As a result, the Company and the
Stockholders may have more limited rights against the Directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company and the Advisor than they would otherwise
have under common law and, furthermore, may be obligated to fund the defense
costs incurred by these individuals or entities in certain cases. Neither the
Directors, officers, employees, and agents of the Company nor the Advisor may
be held liable to the Company or the Stockholders for monetary damages unless:
(a) it is proven that the person actually received an improper benefit or
profit in
22
<PAGE> 31
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. 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 are generally illiquid and,
therefore, the Company's ability to promptly vary its portfolio in response to
changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. Real
property investments are also subject to adverse changes in general economic
conditions or local conditions which reduce the demand for the goods or
services of tenants, as well as 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; (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 Company's results of operations and
financial condition. See "Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates--Loan
Modifications and Work-Outs."
Competition for Tenants and Customers. The Company could be
adversely affected if competitive types of properties 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 and may require the Company to make capital improvements to its properties
which it would not have otherwise made which may have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
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. These statutes typically allow
liens to be placed on the affected property. In addition, there are various
local, state and federal health and safety regulations which the Company may,
under certain circumstances, be required to comply with, and liability in the
form of fines or damages for noncompliance. The Company's properties are
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 complying 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
23
<PAGE> 32
could be liable for violations of such laws and regulations to the extent the
tenant does not have sufficient resources to provide indemnification. State
and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and the Company intends
to monitor these laws and take commercially reasonable 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's
results of operations or financial condition will not be adversely affected by
these laws.
Costs Associated with Complying with the Americans with
Disabilities Act. Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to
comply with 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 acquire
properties which comply with the ADA or place the burden on the seller to
ensure compliance with the ADA, although there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to do so.
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 for a specific
type of use. If the tenant fails to renew or defaults on its lease
obligations, the property may not be readily marketable to a new tenant without
substantial capital improvements or remodeling which may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operation and financial condition.
Competition with Others for the Acquisition of Properties.
The Company competes 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. All of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and
prospects.
Reliance on Certain Tenants. The Company's results of
operations and financial condition and ability to make Distributions may be
adversely affected by the bankruptcy or insolvency, or a downturn in the
business, of (i) any tenant generally occupying approximately 30% or more of
the gross leasable area ("GLA") of a Neighborhood Retail Center or a Community
Center, or (ii) the tenant of any single-user property (each an "Anchor
Tenant"), including the decision by an Anchor Tenant not to renew its lease.
Currently, within the Company's 43 Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven Community
Centers and nine single-user retail properties, there are 40 Anchor Tenants.
In addition, lease termination by one or more Anchor Tenant 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. Similarly, the leases of certain Anchor Tenants may permit the
Anchor Tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer
24
<PAGE> 33
to a new Anchor Tenant could adversely affect customer traffic in the
Neighborhood Retail Center or Community 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.
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 when due. 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 a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operation and financial position,
including its ability to pay Distributions.
Restrictions on Re-leasing Space. In many cases, tenant
leases contain provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell certain
types of merchandise or provide certain types of services within the
particular Neighborhood Retail Center or Community Center, or limit the
ability of other tenants to sell such merchandise or provide such services.
When re-leasing space after a vacancy occurs, these provisions may limit the
number and types of prospective tenants for the vacant space.
Uninsured Losses; Unavailability of Insurance. Each lessee is
responsible for insuring its goods and premises and, in certain circumstances,
may be required to reimburse the Company for a share of the cost of acquiring
comprehensive insurance for the property, 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 typically are required
to pay all insurance costs associated with those properties. However, there
are certain types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses
due to war) which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. If
such an event occurred to, or caused 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.
The Company intends to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, pursuant to
which the Company will purchase a property from an entity and lease the
property back to the seller. 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 properties. 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.
25
<PAGE> 34
Risks Associated with the Construction and Development of
Property. The Company may construct or develop properties or render services
in connection with development or construction. These activities may expose
the Company to additional risks such as cost overruns, increases in carrying
costs of projects under construction and development, lack of availability or
increases in the cost of materials and labor, adverse weather conditions, and
limitations on construction and development imposed by governmental regulation.
Risks Associated with Investments in Unimproved Real Property.
The Company may invest up to 10% of its assets in unimproved real property.
Investment in unimproved properties is inherently speculative because, in
addition to the risks of real estate investment in general, its success depends
upon events beyond the Company's control, such as risks and uncertainties
associated with re-zoning the land for a higher use or development and
environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups.
4. TAX RISKS
General. There are various federal income tax risks
associated with investing 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.
Investors should recognize that many of the advantages and
economic benefits of investing 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 investing in the Company. The continued treatment of the
Company as a REIT is dependent on laws 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 its 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.
26
<PAGE> 35
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, the Company may be required to borrow funds,
liquidate certain of its investments or take other steps which could affect its
operating results due to this tax liability. 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 of common stock
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 DRP will be deemed to have received, and will for income tax
purposes be taxed on, the value of the Shares received. 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 (as
defined herein) 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, 1995 and that its prior, current and anticipated methods of
operation have enabled and should enable the Company 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. The Company's ability to maintain its REIT status will
depend upon its ability (based on its actual operating results) to meet the
requirements necessary to maintain status as a REIT, and Counsel will not
review compliance
27
<PAGE> 36
with the REIT Requirements on a continuing basis after the initial effective
date of the Registration Statement or issue any opinions in the future unless
expressly requested to do so. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
Company's actual operating results will allow the Company to satisfy the REIT
requirements. In addition, this opinion represents Counsel's legal judgment
based on the law in effect as of the initial effective date, 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. The determination of whether the Company
will constitute a Pension-Held REIT will depend on the concentration of
ownership by one or more Qualified Plans, 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. 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.
29
<PAGE> 38
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 with the accounts of the Advisor and its Affiliates. As of the
date of this Prospectus, the Company owns 59 properties comprised of 43
Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven Community Centers and nine single-user
retail properties and has approximately $64,600,000 available for additional
investments plus an additional $11,500,000 available from loan commitments not
yet funded. The Company estimates that 87.31% of Gross Offering Proceeds will
be used to acquire properties if the Maximum Offering is sold. If the Maximum
Offering is sold, 8.37% of the Gross Offering Proceeds will be utilized to pay
selling and due diligence expenses to unaffiliated third parties and 2.82% 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.

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% or $19,250,000 of the gross offering proceeds from the Shares offered
on the "best efforts" basis and, under certain circumstances, one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for every 40 Shares sold, all or part of which
compensation may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers; provided
that the Company will not issue more than 625,000 Soliciting Dealer
Warrants. The Dealer Manager will also receive the Marketing Contribution
and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee equal up to 2.5% or $6,875,000 of
the gross offering proceeds from the Shares offered on the "best efforts"
basis, some portion of which may be reallowed to Soliciting Dealers. This
category of expense includes all amounts attributable to marketing and
bona fide due diligence expenses. Certain volume discounts may be given
on orders of 20,000 Shares or more. The Company will not pay any selling
commission on Shares purchased by the Advisor, its Affiliates, the Dealer
Manager or Soliciting Dealers. Any Shares purchased by the Advisor or its
Affiliates will be purchased for investment purposes only and not with a
view toward resale. A maximum of 2,000,000 Shares available for issuance
under the Distribution Reinvestment Program will be sold at a price equal
to $10.45 or $0.55 less than the "best- efforts" offering price due to
decreased costs associated with these issuances ($20,900,000 if all of
those 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) Reflects the Advisor's best estimates of legal, accounting, printing and
other offering expenses, including amounts to reimburse 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 agreed to pay 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 agreement 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 equal to 0.5% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds ($1,479,500, 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. Expenses incurred in connection with
incurring indebtedness will be payable from the proceeds of such
borrowings ($739,750, 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 selecting, evaluating and
acquiring the Company's properties, whether or not acquired, including,
but not limited to: surveys, appraisals, title insurance and escrow fees,
non-refundable option payments, 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.
(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.
(7) This amount is allocated for acquisition costs of additional properties.

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 initially purchase a minimum of 300 Shares ($3,300) or Tax-Exempt
Entities which purchase a minimum of 100 Shares ($1,100), except for investors
resident in the State of Iowa where the minimum investment for IRAs will be 300
Shares ($3,300) and for investors resident in the State of Minnesota where the
minimum investment for IRAs and qualified plan accounts will be 200 Shares
($2,200). 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. Certain states
may impose higher suitability standards.
Investors who reside in California, Massachusetts, or Tennessee must
have either: (i) a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and
automobiles) of $225,000; or (ii) a minimum annual gross income of $60,000 and
a net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $60,000.
Investors who reside in Maine must have either: (i) a net worth
(excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $200,000; or (ii) a
minimum annual gross income of $50,000 and a net worth (exclusive of home, home
furnishings and automobiles) of $50,000.
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 imposed 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."
As noted above, suitability standards may be higher in certain states.
Investors must meet all of the applicable requirements set forth in the
Company's subscription agreement relating to the Shares (the "Subscription
Agreement"). Under the laws of certain states, an investor may transfer
his/her 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."
32
<PAGE> 41
The agreements between the Dealer Manager and each of the Soliciting
Dealers require each Soliciting Dealer 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 based upon information provided by the
prospective purchaser regarding his or her financial situation and investment
objectives and to transmit promptly to the Company, the fully completed
subscription documentation and any other supporting documentation reasonably
required by the Company. By executing the Subscription Agreement, by tendering
payment for Shares and by accepting confirmation of purchase or delivery of the
Shares, an investor represents that he or she 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.

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 may not exceed 6% of the Contract Price for the
Property.
(3) The Advisor and its Affiliates assist the Company in determining the types
of transactions entered into by the Company. The Advisor benefits, in the
form of fees, by the Company retaining ownership of its properties and
leveraging its properties, while Stockholders may be better served by sale
or disposition of the properties or not incurring indebtedness secured by
the properties. Furthermore, the Advisor's ability to receive or retain
certain fees and reimbursements is dependent upon the Company continuing
to invest 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 are 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, record keeping, preparing and
disseminating Company reports, preparing and maintaining records
regarding Stockholders, record keeping and administration of the DRP and
Share Repurchase Programs, preparing and disseminating responses to
Stockholder inquiries and other communications with Stockholders and any
other record keeping required for the Company.
(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 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 is 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
44
<PAGE> 53
Affiliates and controlling persons who 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 may 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 to manage and
oversee the daily operation of the Company and 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 Company believes that the compensation payable 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, by its terms, may be terminated
by a majority vote of the Stockholders upon 60 days prior written notice. See
"Management--The Advisory Agreement."
2. Process for Resolving 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 the
45
<PAGE> 54
Company's. 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. The Advisory Agreement grants the
Company the first opportunity to buy Neighborhood Retail Centers and Community
Centers placed under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates provided the
Company is able to close the purchase of the property within 60 days and the
right to purchase 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 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 the property by the Advisor; (iii) the
property meets the Company's acquisition criteria; provided that if more than
one real estate program sponsored by Affiliates of the Advisor has funds
available to make the purchase, the 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 evaluating 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."
The Company believes that these factors, together with the
obligations of the Advisor and its Affiliates to present the Company with 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. The Company acquired two of its
properties from an Affiliate and one property from an Independent Director.
The purchase prices for these properties were not the subject of arm's-length
negotiations. The Articles provide that the purchase price of any property
acquired from such parties: (i) 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 (ii) must be
approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not interested in the transaction as fair and reasonable
to the Company. The Directors (including a majority of the disinterested
Independent Directors) approved these acquisitions, however, there can be no
assurance that the prices paid to the Affiliate and/or these parties did not
exceed those which would have been paid by a third party.
4. The Company may Purchase Properties from Persons with whom
Affiliates of the Advisor have Prior Business Relationships. The Company may
purchase properties from third parties who have sold properties in the past or
who may sell properties in the future to the Advisor or its Affiliates. In the
event the Company purchases properties from these third parties, 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 purchases in a manner which would cause it to
breach its fiduciary obligations to the Company. See "Management."
46
<PAGE> 55
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 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 of the Company. The Company pays the Management Agent a
monthly management fee of no greater than four and one half percent (4.5%) of
gross income for the month for which the payment is made. The property
management services agreement between the Company and the Management Agent is
for a term of one year and is subject to one-year successive renewals unless
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the agreement, either party
notifies the other in writing that it elects to terminate the agreement.
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 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
encumbering the Company's properties with indebtedness, while Stockholders may
be better served by sale or disposition or not incurring indebtedness secured
by the properties. Furthermore, the receipt and retention of certain fees and
reimbursements is dependent upon the Company's ability to continue investing 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 have represented to
the Company 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
respective fiduciary duties. 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 its Affiliates are not the result of arm's-length negotiations, but the
Company believes that these agreements and arrangements approximate the terms
of arm's-length transactions.
While the Company does not make loans to the Advisor or its
Affiliates, the Company has borrowed money from an Affiliate for various
purposes including funding 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.
All money borrowed from an Affiliate was repaid within 90 days. See "Real
Property Investments."
47
<PAGE> 56
The Advisor and its Affiliates may provide services to, and
otherwise deal or do 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 provision of the
Advisory Agreement.
8. The Company and the Advisor have the Same Legal Counsel.
Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. serves as counsel to the Company, as well as to the
Advisor and some of its Affiliates. Shefsky & Froelich 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, Shefsky
& Froelich Ltd. may be precluded from representing any one or all of these
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 adequate
protection of their respective interests. 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 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 the Dealer Manager of the Offering and
is entitled to selling commissions and Soliciting Dealer Warrants, some or all
of 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 an independent review and 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
joint ventures with Affiliates. In addition, the Articles require a majority
of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not
otherwise interested in the transaction to 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 to the Company entering into the
venture. 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 the Advisor and its Affiliates is
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL. Accordingly, the Directors
and the Advisor and its Affiliates may not be held liable to the Company or its
Stockholders for monetary damages unless: (a) it is proven 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, or any officer, employee, or
agent of the Company (each an "Indemnified Party") provided, that: (i) the
Indemnified Party has 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 Indemnified Party 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, 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 assets of the Stockholders.
The Company may not indemnify an Indemnified Party 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)
49
<PAGE> 58
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 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 an Indemnified Party 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
advancement; and (iii) the Indemnified Party receiving these advances undertakes
to repay the monies advanced to the Company, together with interest at the
applicable legal rate thereon, if the party is found not to be entitled to
indemnification.
The Company may 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 may 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. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has
not purchased any insurance on behalf of an Indemnified Party.
Neither the amendment nor the adoption of any other provision of the
Articles or the Bylaws will apply to or affect, in any respect, the Indemnitee's
right to indemnification for actions or failures 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.
BUSINESS JUDGMENT PRESUMPTION
Generally, the Directors owe fiduciary duties to the Company and its
Stockholders. These fiduciary obligations include the duty of care and the duty
of loyalty. The duty of care requires that Directors exercise the care that a
reasonably prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. The duty
of loyalty prohibits the Director from self-dealing. The "business judgment
rule" is a specific application of this directorial standard of conduct. It is a
legal presumption provided by Maryland law which presumes that when making a
business decision, the Director acted on an informed basis, in good faith, and
in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interest of the
Company. Therefore, should a Director by sued by the Stockholders because of the
Director's business decision, the court will examine the directorial decision
only to
50
<PAGE> 59
the extent necessary to verify the presence of a business decision,
disinterestedness and independence of the Director, due care of the Director,
good faith of the Director, and the absence of an abuse of discretion on behalf
of the Director. These elements are presumed to be present unless the
Stockholder is able to provide evidence to overcome the presumption. Thus, the
business judgment rule is a tool of judicial review rather than a standard of
conduct and it applies both in actions seeking to impose liability for money
damages upon Directors for their decision and in actions seeking injunctive
relief. In proving his or her case of breach of fiduciary duty, the Stockholder
bears the burden of overcoming this presumption and, if successful, the burden
shifts to the Director to show that he/she acted both in good faith and as a
reasonable prudent person. In making the Company's business decisions, the
Directors are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or records
prepared by experts including accountants, consultants and counsel who were
selected with reasonable care.
There are also certain defenses which may be raised by the Directors,
the Advisor and its Affiliates, and officers, employees or agents of the Company
under Maryland law and the Articles in the event of a Stockholder action. For
example, 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 absent a Stockholder vote in certain
circumstances.
PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY'S AFFILIATES
PRIOR INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
The Inland organization, during the past ten years, has sponsored six
public real estate programs and one private real estate program which have
raised in excess in $174,500,000. In excess of 15,800 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, pre-development land and 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.
51
<PAGE> 60
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, 1988 through December 31, 1997, 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, 1997, cash
distributions have been maintained at an 8% level and on an accrual basis have
totaled $415.41 per $500 unit or $23,641,195 including $20,623,400 from
operating cash flow, $380,207 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.
The major tenant at McHenry Plaza is a Walgreens drug store. Other
tenants are Don Robert's Beauty School, Northern Federal Savings Bank, Merit
Medical Equipment, Family Entertainment Center, a Mexican restaurant and a
cigarette store. These tenants took possession of their spaces at the center
from 1990 through 1997, 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
54
<PAGE> 63
$187,943. Approximately 80% of the property is currently leased. Additional
expenditures for build-out and leasing commissions are anticipated as the
remaining rentable space is leased. The 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, 1997 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 Euro-Fresh
Market Plaza (formerly Eagle Plaza), a neighborhood retail center in Illinois,
for a total acquisition cost of $21,224,542. Through December 31, 1997, cash
distributions have been maintained at or above an 8% level and on an accrual
basis have totaled $416.49 per $500 unit or $19,636,316, including $15,240,751
from operations and an additional $4,395,565 which constitutes the net proceeds
from the sale of the Wholesale Club.
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
55
<PAGE> 64
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. On February 4, 1994 and with the
approval of IREIC, Eagle Foods assigned its lease to Certified Grocers Midwest,
Inc. ("Certified") who vacated in August 1995. During May 1996, Euro-Fresh
Market ("Euro-Fresh") began its occupancy if the anchor store and the shopping
center has been renamed Euro-Fresh Market Plaza. Under the original lease, as
well as the assignment of the lease, Eagle Foods has guaranteed payments until
November 1998.
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 through December 31, 1997 totaled $528.35 per
$1,000 unit or $4,697,141, including $1,461,428 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
56
<PAGE> 65
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.
As of January 1, 1997, the partnership has listed and is actively
marketing Scottsdale Sierra Apartments for sale at an amount in excess of its
carrying value and has suspended depreciation. As of the date of this report,
the partnership has received and is currently negotiating an offer for the
purchase of Scottsdale Sierra Apartments for an amount which exceeds the
carrying value of the property.
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 60% financed with 40%
equity. Cash distributions to limited partners through December 31, 1997 totaled
$1,162.12 per $1,000 unit or $4,590,702, including $927,931 from operations and
$3,662,771 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.

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, 299 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 1997, investors in Inland's private
partnerships have received total distributions in excess of $174,806,500,
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.
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. Arguments were
59
<PAGE> 68
heard by the Appellate Court in February, 1997, and subsequently the Appellate
Court affirmed the trial court decision in favor of IREIC.
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. Parcel 5, which consists of
sixty-three improved lots in the Village of Mount Horeb has had twenty-eight lot
sales since 1995 for a total gross sales proceed amount of $1,117,400.
Thirty-five remaining lots continue to be marketed for sale. On October 1, 1997,
Parcel 6, located in Windsor, Wisconsin, was sold for $566,597 which represents
191% of original parcel capital.
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 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 September 30, 1996 totaled
$4,294,216, including $1,226,419 from operations and subsidy income of $67,797
from IREIC, pursuant to the guarantee for that program. $3,000,000 was a return
of capital resulting from a payoff by the Affiliate. This partnership was
liquidated in 1996.
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
60
<PAGE> 69
to noteholders through November 30, 1996 totaled $2,878,335 of which $861,051
was interest earnings and $17,284 was from working capital reserves. $2,000,000
was a return of capital resulting from a payoff by the Affiliate. This
partnership was liquidated in 1996.
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, 1997 totaled $557,185, of which $433,747
was interest earnings, $110,544 was a return of capital resulting from the
amortization of mortgage loans and $12,894 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 May 31, 1996 totaled $502,198, of which $99,769
was interest earnings and $2,429 was subsidy income from IREIC, pursuant to the
guarantee for that program. The balance of $400,000 was a return of capital.
This partnership was 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 and the 9%
annual return are guaranteed by IREIC. Cash distributions through December 31,
1997 totaled $1,619,147, of which $1,614,837 was interest earnings and $4,310
was 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
61
<PAGE> 70
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, 1997 totaled $1,557,369, of which $1,554,176
was interest earnings and $3,193 was 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, 1997 totaled
$2,142,984, of which $2,123,528 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 the principal amount of $1,031,000
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 December 31, 1997 totaled $1,411,617, of which
$380,617 was interest earnings and $1,031,000 was a return of capital. This
partnership was liquidated in 1997.
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. In February 1996, 20 limited partners exercised their put option and IMIC
bought their interests. Cash distributions through January 28, 1997 have totaled
$541,156, including $131,156 from interest earnings and $410,000 return of
capital from loan repayments. All capital has been returned and the partnership
was liquidated in 1997.

LOAN MODIFICATIONS AND WORK-OUTS
Between 1990 and December 31, 1997, 40 Inland-sponsored partnerships
owning 27 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
63
<PAGE> 72
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
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 40 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
64
<PAGE> 73
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 40 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.
In the case of the Park Colony Limited Partnership, one of the 40
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. 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 obtained 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 was subsequently 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
65
<PAGE> 74
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
attempted 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 no agreement was reached. During August 1996, IREIC initiated a tax-deferred
exchange whereby the partnership acquired 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.
In October 1996, two limited partnerships owning contiguous apartment
buildings in south suburban Chicago ceased making payments on their respective
HUD-insured first mortgage loans. The Chateaux Versailles and Marsailles Limited
Partnerships, through their General Partner, are attempting to negotiate with
the lenders to modify the terms of the loans to levels commensurate with the
operating performance of the properties. To date, no agreement has been reached.
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
66
<PAGE> 75
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, 1997, eighteen 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. Fifteen
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, 1997, 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.
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 a Board of Directors which
is responsible for the overall management and control of the Company's affairs.
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 are reviewed and approved by the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) with sufficient frequency (but not less than annually) to
ensure 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 Company's total fees and
expenses in light of the Company's investment experience and the fees and
expenses of companies performing comparable services. Each determination, along
with the supporting rationale, is set forth in the minutes of the meetings of
the Board.
The Independent Directors are required to determine, from time to time,
but not less than annually, that the compensation paid by the Company to the
Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services
performed and within the limits prescribed by applicable state regulatory
authorities. The Independent Directors are also required to supervise the
Advisor's performance 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 must be based on at least the factors set forth below
and other factors that the Independent Directors may deem relevant. The findings
of the Independent Directors on each such factor must be recorded in the minutes
of the Board. These 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.
The Board is comprised of five individuals, a majority of whom are
independent (the "Independent Directors"). Election of Board members is
conducted on an annual basis. Each individual elected to the Board serves a
one-year term or until his or her successor is elected. See "Summary of
Organizational Documents."

ADVISOR BACKGROUND
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.
The first of the TIGI-affiliated businesses were 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 1997 were ranked by
Crain's Chicago Business as the 37th 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.
The TIGI-affiliated companies developed expertise in real estate
financing as it bought and sold properties over the years. In 1977, Inland
Mortgage Corporation, an Illinois corporation ("IMC") was incorporated. IMC,
during its history, 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 December 31, 1997, owned a $79,375,000 loan portfolio, and IMSC serviced a
loan portfolio of 381 loans exceeding approximately $431,000,000.

THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally is
responsible 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 by another party (the "Management Agent") the
Company's properties and renders other services as the Directors deem
appropriate. The Advisor is subject to the supervision of the Directors and
performs only those functions delegated to it by the Directors.
The Advisor bears the expenses it incurs in connection with performing
its duties under the Advisory Agreement, including employee expenses; certain
travel and other expenses of its directors, officers and employees; 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 is reimbursed for the cost to the
Advisor and its Affiliates of goods and services used for and by the Company and
obtained from unaffiliated parties and administrative services related thereto.
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
renewable for successive one-year terms upon the mutual consent of the parties.
The agreement 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. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated, the Advisor is required to
cooperate with the Company and to take all reasonable steps requested by the
Board to assist it in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.
The Advisor receives an Acquisition Expense reimbursement up 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. If the Advisor or its Affiliates
perform services that are outside of the scope of the Advisory Agreement, the
Company will compensate the Advisor or the Affiliate at such rates and in such
amounts as agreed upon by the Advisor and the Independent Directors. See
"Compensation Table."
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.
74
<PAGE> 83
The Advisory Agreement grants the Company the first opportunity to buy
any Neighborhood Retail Centers and Community 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; and (iii) the property meets the Company's acquisition
criteria; provided that if 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.
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, such as an advisor, to perform management functions on its
behalf. Accordingly, should the Company 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 and the Management Agent to merge into the Company.
If the Advisory Agreement is terminated because the Shares are listed
for trading on a national stock exchange or market system, the Advisor will no
longer be paid any of the fees described above. 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 forgone or waived by the Advisor and the Management
Agent. 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 will also
terminate.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify the
Advisor and to 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 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 negligence or
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 assets of the Stockholders.
The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification
under the Advisory Agreement for legal and other expenses only if: (i) the legal
action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or
services by the indemnified party; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third
party and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves
75
<PAGE> 84
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 which such party would not be
entitled to indemnification.
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 is an Illinois corporation and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Mid-America Management Corp. ("Mid-America"), which manages approximately 14,600
multi-family units, including approximately 13,600 units in the Chicago
metropolitan area which Mid-America believes is 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 13.1 million square feet by December 1997.
ICPM is responsible for collecting rent and leasing and maintaining the
commercial properties which it manages. A substantial portion of the portfolio,
approximately 8.8 million square feet, consists of properties triple-net leased
to creditworthy tenants, which means the tenant operates and maintains the
property and pays rent which is net of property taxes, insurance and operating
expenses.
ICPM is paid a monthly management fee of no greater than four and one
half percent (4.5%) of gross income for the month for which the payment is made.
The Company and ICPM have entered into an agreement for a term of one year,
subject to one-year successive renewals, unless either party notifies the other
in writing of its intent to terminate the agreement.
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.

OTHER SERVICES
In addition to the services described above, 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
management fees. However, under no circumstances will such compensation exceed
90% of that which would 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 has an Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Independent Director Stock Option Plan") under which non-employee Directors who
are "disinterested persons" as defined under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act are
eligible to participate.
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 will be
made in the number and kind of shares that may be issued pursuant to options. A
corresponding adjustment to the exercise price of the options granted prior to
any change will also be made. Any such adjustment, however, will 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 exercise price for each
share.
The Independent Director Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of
non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock at fair
market value to each individual becoming an Independent Director (the "Initial
Options"), and subsequent grants of options to purchase 500 Shares on the date
of each annual stockholder's meeting so long as the individual is still in
office (the "Subsequent Options," collectively with the Initial Options referred
to herein as "Option" or "Options"). As of the date of this Prospectus, Options
to purchase an aggregate of 13,500 shares at $9.05 per share (the "Option
Price") have been granted to the existing Independent Directors. The Option
Price for subsequent options will be equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the last business day preceding the annual meeting.
79
<PAGE> 88
Options granted under the Independent Director Stock Option Plan are
generally exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. To date,
options to purchase 4,000 Shares have been granted to Joel G. Herter of which
1,000 have vested; options to purchase 4,500 Shares have been granted to Roland
W. Burris of which 2,000 have vested and 1,000 of which have been exercised; and
options to purchase 5,000 Shares have been granted to Heidi Lawton of which
3,500 have vested. Options granted under the Independent Director Stock Option
Plan are 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 will terminate, and any outstanding
options will 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 exercise 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 will 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On February 25, 1998, the Company purchased the properties commonly
known as Elmhurst City Center and Ruby's Apparel Shop from One City Center,
L.L.C. ("City Center"), an entity owned, indirectly, by Heidi N. Lawton, a
director of the Company. City Center purchased the properties during 1997 for an
aggregate price of $4,485,000. The Company purchased the properties for an
aggregate price of $4,775,000. As part of the transaction, Lawton Realty Group,
Inc., an entity owned directly by Ms. Lawton, received a $41,000 commission from
the previous owner of Ruby's Apparel Shop. The purchase price under the
agreement was based on the fair market value estimate contained in the appraisal
performed by an unaffiliated third party. The Company's purchase of the
properties was approved by a majority of the disinterested Independent
Directors. See "Real Property Investments -- Elmhurst City Center."
Additionally, Robert D. Parks and G. Joseph Cosenza, Directors of the
Company, are also Directors of the Advisor. See "Management -- The Advisor."
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, upon the occurrence of certain events, the
Advisor is entitled to receive certain fees and to have certain expenses
reimbursed by the Company. The amount of such fees are set forth in the
"Compensation Tables." Because of the positions of Messrs. Parks and Cosenza in
the Company and the Advisor, they may have an indirect interest in the Company's
transactions.

- ---------------------
(1) The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus.
(2) The net income and distributions per share are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. The $.86 per share
Distribution for the year ended December 31, 1997, represented
82
<PAGE> 91
99.4% of the Company's Funds From Operations ("FFO") and 99.9% of funds
available for distribution for that period. See Footnote (3) below for
information regarding the Company's calculation of FFO. Distributions
by the Company to the extent of its current and accumulated earnings
and profits for federal 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. For
1997, $3,388,364 (or 25.81% of the $13,125,597 Distribution paid for
1997) represented a return of capital. In order to maintain its
qualification as a REIT, the Company must make annual distributions to
Stockholders of at least 95% of its taxable income which was
approximately $9,252,000 for 1997. Taxable income does not include net
capital gains. 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 expenditures, the annual distribution
required to maintain REIT status under the Code and other factors the
Board of Directors may deem relevant.
(3) "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 of real property
and amortization and other non-cash items. FFO and funds available for
distribution are calculated as follows:

============ ===========
</TABLE>
(a) FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities
calculated 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
83
<PAGE> 92
as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
(b) Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for stepped rent
increases. GAAP requires the Company to record rental income 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.
(c) Acquisition cost expenses include costs and expenses relating to the
acquisition of properties. These costs are estimated to be up to .5% of
the Gross Offering Proceeds and are paid from the Proceeds of the
Offering.
(d) As part of several 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. GAAP requires that as these payments are received, they be
recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the properties rather
than as rental income.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
1. General . The Company's investment objectives are to: (i) make
regular Distributions to the Stockholders equal to at least 95% of the Company's
taxable income, provided that these Distributions may be in amounts which 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; (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 realize capital
appreciation; and (iii) preserve Stockholders' capital. Currently Leases
representing approximately 42% of the Company's total GLA provide for scheduled
rent escalations.
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 properties owned by the Company have generated sufficient cash flow to
cover operating expenses of the Company plus pay a monthly Distribution of $.87
per share. The Company's ability to pay Distributions and the size of these
Distributions depend upon a variety of factors. There can be no assurance that
Distributions will be made. Distributions for the year ended December 31, 1996
and December 31, 1997 totaled $3,704,943, and $13,127,597 respectively, of
which $611,418, and $3,388,364 respectively constituted a return of capital for
federal income tax purposes. Additionally, to date, the Company has paid
Distributions of $3,814,439 in 1998.
To the extent possible, the Company seeks to avoid the
fluctuations in Distributions which might result if Distributions were based on
actual cash received during the Distribution period. To avoid fluctuation, the
Company may use Cash Flow received during prior periods, or
84
<PAGE> 93
Cash Flow 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 is dependent upon the
Company's Cash Flow and applicable REIT rules. There can be no assurance that
there will be Cash Flow available to pay Distributions, or that Distribution
amounts 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. As a
matter of policy, the Company, subject to applicable REIT rules, seeks 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 may acquire existing
Neighborhood Retail Centers and Community Centers located primarily within an
approximate 400-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. The Company intends, whenever possible, to acquire
properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the
entire purchase price in cash or for shares of the Company's stock. The Company
has in the past incurred, and may in the future incur, indebtedness to acquire
properties where the Board determines that incurring such indebtedness is in the
Company's best interest. Currently, the Company has financing on 48 of its 59
properties. In addition, from time to time, the Company has acquired properties
on an all-cash basis and later incurred mortgage indebtedness secured by the
property if favorable financing terms are available. The Company intends to
continue this strategy. The proceeds from such loans are used primarily to
acquire additional properties. Certain of the Company's properties may be
subject to "net" leases. "Net" leases typically require tenants to pay all or a
majority of the operating expenses including real estate taxes, special
assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance and building repairs
related to the property, as well as lease payments. The leases are long-term
(typically 15 to 25 years, but generally not less than ten years) and require
the lessee to pay a base minimum annual rent with periodic increases. For
purposes hereof, a creditworthy tenant is 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.
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. For example, the Company purchased Oak Forest Commons
and Downers Grove Plaza, both of which are Neighborhood Retail Centers which
were redeveloped. See "Real Property Investments" below. 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
85
<PAGE> 94
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 is also permitted to construct or develop
properties, or render services in connection with such development or
construction, subject to the Company's compliance with the rules governing real
estate investment trusts under the Code, as amended. The construction and
development of properties exposes the Company to certain risks such as cost
overruns, carrying costs of projects under construction and development,
availability and costs of materials and labor, weather conditions, and
government regulation.
Before purchasing a property, the Advisor examines and
evaluates 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 evaluating a property for acquisition,
the Advisor requires the seller to provide a current Phase I environmental
report and, if necessary, a Phase II environmental report. In a sale-leaseback
situation, since the seller of the property generally is assuming the operating
risk the price paid for the property by the Company may be greater than if it
was not leased back to the Seller. All acquisitions from Affiliates must be
approved 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 acquisition or financing by the Company,
the completion of construction of the property or any other purpose related to
the business of the Company.
4. Acquisition Standards . Through its experience gained through
the acquisition of approximately 750 properties by Company's Affiliates, the
Advisor believes the Company has the ability to identify quality properties
capable of meeting the investment objectives. In evaluating potential
acquisitions, the Company considers a number of factors, including a property's:
(i) geographic location and type; (ii) construction quality and condition; (iii)
current and projected cash flow; (iv) potential for capital appreciation; (v)
rent roll, including the potential for rent increases; (vi) potential for
economic growth in the tax and regulatory environment of the community in which
the property is located; (vii) potential for expanding the physical layout of
the property and/or the number of sites; (viii) occupancy and demand by tenants
for properties of a similar type in the same geographic vicinity; (ix) prospects
for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the property; (x)
competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of
new properties in the area; and (xi) treatment under applicable federal, state
and local tax and other laws and regulations.

5. Description of Leases . The Company anticipates entering into
"net leases" which require lessees to pay a share, either pro rata or fixed, of
the real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the
properties. The Company intends to include 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 in most of its leases. The leases with most
Anchor Tenants generally have initial terms of ten to twenty-five years, with
one or more renewal options available to the lessee. By contrast, smaller tenant
leases typically have three- to five-year terms.
During the initial term of a "net" lease, which generally
covers fifteen to twenty-five years (typically not less than ten years), the
tenant is required to pay the Company, as lessor, a predetermined minimum annual
rent generally based upon the Company's cost of purchasing the land and
building.
Each "net" lease tenant is required to pay its share of the
cost of the liability insurance covering the properties owned by the Company.
The third-party liability coverage insures, among others, the Company and the
Advisor. Each tenant is 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 must
remain liable under the lease unless the assignee meets certain income and net
worth tests.
6. Property Acquisition . The Company has acquired to date, and
in the future anticipates acquiring, fee interests in real property, although
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 and own 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 and "Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 - Significant REIT Provisions --
Qualified REIT Subsidiaries."
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had acquired 43
Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven Community Centers, and nine single-user
retail properties. A total of two properties, the Eagle Crest Shopping Center
and the Walgreen/Decatur property, were acquired from an Affiliate and one
property, Elmhurst City Center, was acquired from an Independent Director. The
prices paid for each of these properties were not the subject of arm's-length
negotiations. Under the Articles, the Company is prohibited from purchasing a
property from an Affiliate unless a majority of the Directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) not interested in the transaction
90
<PAGE> 99
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 the Affiliate, provided that if
the price to the Company is greater, substantial justification for the excess
must exist and the excess must be reasonable. In no event may the cost of the
asset exceed its current appraised value. A majority of the Directors (including
a majority of the Independent Directors) approved the purchases of Eagle Crest
Shopping Center, the Walgreen/Decatur property, and Elmhurst City Center as
being fair and reasonable to the Company. There can be no assurance, however,
that the prices paid to the Affiliate and/or related party for Eagle Crest
Shopping Center, the Walgreens/Decatur property, and Elmhurst City Center or for
future acquisitions of properties from Affiliates and/or related parties, if
any, did not or would not exceed that which would be paid by an unrelated 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. For example, the Company purchased Oak Forest Commons
and Downers Grove Plaza, both of which are Neighborhood Retail Centers which
were redeveloped. See "Real Property Investments" below. 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 is also
permitted to construct or develop properties, or render any services in
connection with such development or construction, subject to the Company's
compliance with the rules governing REITs under the Code. See "Investment
Objectives and Policies -- Types of Investment."
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. The price will be based on the
estimated cost of 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.
7. Borrowing . The Company intends, 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, incur indebtedness to acquire
properties. With respect to 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. The
Company may also incur indebtedness to finance improvements to its properties.
The Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings secured by all of the
Company's properties will not exceed 50% of their combined fair market value;
however, the maximum amount of borrowings as a
91
<PAGE> 100
percentage of Net Assets will, in the absence of the consent of a majority of
the Stockholders, not exceed 300% of Net Assets. See "Summary of the
Organizational Documents--Restrictions on Borrowing."
If the Company does incur indebtedness secured by its
properties, it intends to do so only on a non-recourse basis, which means that a
lender's rights on default will generally be limited to foreclosing 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. The Company also seeks 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.
8. Sale or Disposition of Properties . The Board will determine
whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of after
considering the 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, the Company holds
its properties prior to sale, for a minimum of four years. See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company--Prohibited Transactions."
Furthermore, the Company generally reinvests proceeds from the sale, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of its properties into additional properties or
uses these proceeds to fund maintenance or repair of existing properties or to
increase reserves for such purposes. The objective of reinvesting the sale,
financing and refinancing proceeds in new properties will be to increase the
real estate assets owned by the Company, and the Company's net income which the
Board believes will enhance the Company's chances of listing the Company's
shares on a national securities exchange or market. 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 to distribute these proceeds 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 stock exchange or including the
shares for quotation on a national market system and compliance with REIT
regulations. Because the Company may reinvest the proceeds from the sale,
financing or refinancing of its properties, the Company could hold Stockholders'
capital indefinitely. However, the affirmative vote of the Stockholders,
controlling a majority of the shares of common stock, will force the Company to
liquidate its assets and dissolve. See "Summary of the Organizational
Documents--Dissolution or Termination of the Company." To date, the Company has
not sold any properties.
In selling a property, the Company generally seeks to obtain
an all-cash sale price. However, a purchase money obligation secured by a
mortgage on the property may be taken as partial 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 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 available for distributions until and to the extent
92
<PAGE> 101
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. To date the Company has not sold any properties. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations."
9. Change in Investment Objectives and Policies . Directors may
not make any material changes in the Company's investment objectives described
herein under the caption "Investment Objectives and Policies" without the
affirmative vote of Stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of
stock.
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) issue 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. Appraisals are, however, 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 each appraisal
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 investment within the later of: (i)
twenty-four months from the original effective date of this Prospectus; or (ii)
twelve 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
receipt until expiration of the period discussed above and may be used to fund
expenses incurred to operate the properties which have been acquired to
reimburse the Advisor for certain expenses of the Company, to the extent
allowable under the Advisory Agreement, and to pay Advisor and Property
Management fees. 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.
13. Additional Offerings and Exchange Listing . The Company
anticipates that, by calendar year 1999, the Directors will determine whether it
is in the best interests of the Company to apply to have the Company's 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. The Company believes that an exchange listing may allow the
Company to increase its size, portfolio diversity, stockholder liquidity, access
to capital and stability, and decrease
93
<PAGE> 102
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.
14. Joint Ventures . The Company is 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 is also 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.
Investors should consider the potential risk of the Company
and its joint venture partner being 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. In
addition, the Company may enter into joint venture or partnership arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties. Therefore, the Company may enter into
acquisitions with sellers who are desirous of transactions in tax advantaged
structures such as arrangements typically referred to as "Down REITS." 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 the
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.
The Company holds all funds, pending investment in properties,
in assets which will allow the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT. These
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."
94
<PAGE> 103
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.

<PAGE> 104
REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENTS
The Company currently owns 43 Neighborhood Retail Centers, seven Community
Centers and nine single-user retail properties. In each case, the Company
received an appraisal of fair market value prior to acquiring the particular
property. Appraisals are, however, estimates of value and should not be relied
on as a measure of true worth or realizable value. The terms of the leases at
each property 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. These 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
Directors, including the Independent Directors, approved these acquisitions as
being fair and reasonable to the Company. None of the Company's 59 properties
individually account for more than 10% of the book value of the Company's total
assets or gross revenues for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
The following tables describe the Company's properties and tenants at those
properties.

THE FOLLOWING SETS FORTH INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S PROPERTIES.
THE WALGREENS/DECATUR PROPERTY
On January 31, 1995, the Company acquired the entire fee simple
interest in a single-user retail property located at 1201 E. Wood Street in
Decatur, Illinois known as 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 leases 100% of the
free-standing building, which has 13,500 rentable square feet and was
constructed in 1988. IPS purchased the Walgreens/Decatur property in 1990 for a
purchase price
107
<PAGE> 116
of $1,152,500, including a cash down payment of $112,500 and first-mortgage debt
of $1,040,000. On June 9, 1994, IPS refinanced the Walgreens/Decatur property.
The existing first-mortgage loan was retired in the amount of $1,025,498,
including nine days of interest at $2,462. A new first mortgage loan was funded
in the principal amount of $1,075,000.
The following table describes the formulation of the purchase price
paid by the Company:

On March 1, 1995, the Company acquired the entire fee simple interest
in a Neighborhood Retail Center known as "Eagle Crest Shopping Center" located
at 1260-90 E. Chicago Avenue in Naperville, Illinois, from IPS for approximately
$4,816,970. Although it was originally anticipated that Eagle Crest would be
acquired on an all-cash basis, management of the Company determined, 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. Eagle Crest aggregates 67,650 rentable square feet. Its
major tenant is Eagle Food Centers ("Eagle"). IPS purchased Eagle Crest Shopping
Center in April 1991 for $3,200,000, including a cash down payment of $457,813,
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. On March 1, 1994, IPS again refinanced Eagle Crest Shopping
Center, 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
108
<PAGE> 117
to its store. In return for the reimbursement Eagle began paying an additional
$157,500 per annum in rent under its lease.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Prospectus
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include,
among other things, limitations on the area in which the Company may acquire
properties; risks associated with borrowings secured by the Company's
properties; competition for tenants and customers; federal, state or local
regulations; adverse changes in general economic or local conditions;
competition for property acquisitions with third parties that have greater
financial resources than the Company; inability of lessees to meet financial
obligations; uninsured losses; risks of failing to qualify as a REIT; and
potential conflicts of interest between the Company and its affiliates including
the Advisor.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of July 24, 1996, the Company had received subscriptions for a total
of 5,000,000 Shares, offered on a best efforts basis, at $10.00 per Share,
thereby completing the Company's initial Offering. On July 24, 1996, the Company
commenced an offering of an additional 10,000,000 shares, the Second Offering,
at $10.00 per Share, on a best efforts basis. As of July 10, 1997, the Company
had received subscriptions for a total of 10,000,000 Shares, thereby completing
the Company's Second Offering. On July 14, 1997, the Company commenced an
offering of an additional 20,000,000 Shares, the Third Offering, at $10.00 per
Share, on a best efforts basis. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had
received subscriptions for a total of 9,326,186 Shares from the Third Offering.
In addition, as of December 31, 1997, the Company had issued 699,954 Shares
through the Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program. As of December 31,
1997, the Company has repurchased 52,800 Shares through the Company's Share
Repurchase Program.
The Company's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo
changes as a result of the completion of the Company's first follow-on public
offering of Shares, the commencement of the second follow-on Offerings and the
acquisition of properties. 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 upon 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.
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and short-term investments.
Cash and cash equivalents, at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, were
$51,145,587 and $8,491,735 respectively. The increase in cash and cash
equivalents since December 31, 1996 is due to the additional Offering proceeds
raised and additional loan proceeds from financing secured by the Company's
properties. Partially offsetting the increase in cash and cash equivalents was
the
129
<PAGE> 138
purchase of additional properties since December 31, 1996 and the payment of
Offering Costs relating to the Second and Third Offerings. The Company intends
to use cash and cash equivalents to purchase additional properties, to pay
distributions and to pay Offering Costs.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had acquired forty-four
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 on weighted average shares. Commencing with the fourth
quarter of 1996, the Company increased the monthly distributions from 8.0% to
8.3% per annum on weighted average shares. Beginning March 1, 1997, the Company
increased the monthly distribution paid to 8.5% per annum on weighted average
shares. Beginning August 1, 1997, the Company increased the monthly distribution
paid to 8.7% per annum on weighted average shares. Distributions declared for
the year ended December 31, 1997 were $13,127,597, of which $3,388,364
represents a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
Management of the Company 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, 1997, the Company qualified as a REIT.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $978,350 for
the year ended December 31, 1995 to $5,529,709 for the year ended December 31,
1996 to $15,923,839 for the year ended December 31, 1997. These increases are
due primarily to the purchase of additional properties. As of December 31, 1997
the Company had acquired forty-four properties, as compared to twenty-one
properties as of December 31, 1996, and six properties as of December 31, 1995.
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

purchase of and additions to properties. In addition, the Company made deposits
totaling $3,018,530 for two centers to be purchased in 1998.

<PAGE> 139
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company generated
$173,724,632 of cash flows from financing activities as compared to $71,199,936
of cash flows generated from financing activities for the year ended December
31, 1996 and $6,327,490 for the year ended December 31, 1995. These increases
are due primarily to the increase in proceeds raised from the Offering of
$168,559,450 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $61,147,146 of
Offering proceeds raised for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $19,803,163 of
Offering proceeds raised for the year ended December 31, 1995. These increases
are also due to $43,926,176 in financing secured by fifteen of the Company's
properties for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $25,670,000 in
financing secured by twelve of the Company's properties for the year ended
December 31, 1996. These increases are partially offset by an increase in the
cash used for the payment of Offering costs for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996. These increases are also partially offset by an increase in the
amount of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 1997 of $11,899,431
as compared to the distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 1996 of
$3,285,528 and distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 1995 of
$607,095.
In December 1997, the Company committed to additional financing secured
by Cobbler Crossing and Shorecrest Shopping Center properties totaling
$8,454,500 from an unaffiliated lender. The funding of these loans is to occur
in early 1998. The mortgage loan secured by Cobbler Crossing will have a term of
seven years and, prior to maturity date, will require payments of interest only,
fixed at 7.00%. The mortgage loan secured by Shorecrest Shopping Center will
have a term of five years and, prior to maturity date, will require payments of
interest only, fixed at 7.10%.
The Advisor has agreed to pay 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. As of December 31, 1997, organizational and offering costs
associated with the third offering did not exceed either of these limitations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of December 31, 1997, subscriptions for a total of 25,026,140 Shares
had been received in the "best-efforts" offering resulting in $249,231,797 in
Gross Offering Proceeds, which includes the Advisor's capital contribution of
$200,000 and Shares purchased through the DRP. At December 31, 1997, the Company
owned thirty-six Neighborhood Retail Centers and eight single-user retail
properties.
Total income for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$29,421,585, $6,327,734 and $1,180,422 respectively. The year to year increases
were due to the purchase of additional properties. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company had acquired forty-four properties, as compared to twenty-one properties
as of December 31, 1996 and six properties as of
131
<PAGE> 140
December 31, 1995. The purchase of additional properties also resulted in
increases in property operating expenses.
The decrease in mortgage interest payable to Affiliates for the year
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, is due
to the payoff of the acquisition financing totaling $2,900,000.
The increase in mortgage interest payable to non-affiliates for the
year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995,
is due in part to the mortgage which was assumed as part of the purchase of
Regency Point as well as financing secured by previously acquired properties.
The increase in mortgage interest paid to Affiliates and non-affiliates
for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31,
1996, is due to an increase in the total amount of the Company's indebtedness.
The mortgages payable totaled $106,589,710 as of December 31, 1997 as compared
to $30,838,233 as of December 31, 1996.
Interest income is the result of cash and cash equivalents being
invested in short-term investments until a property is purchased.
The increases in amounts paid for professional services and general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the
year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, is due to an increase in the number of
real estate assets owned by the Company. The increase in acquisition cost
expenses is also due to an increase in the number of properties considered for
acquisition by the Company.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The Company has been organized and intends to operate in a manner that
will permit 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 sets
forth the rules with which the Company must comply in order to qualify for
treatment as a REIT for tax purposes, the federal income tax consequences to the
Company and its Stockholders from the Company's status as a REIT 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 Ltd. has acted 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 to his particular tax
situation.
In general, a corporation that invests primarily in real estate can
qualify as a REIT, if it complies with the detailed REIT provisions in Code
Sections 856-860, and as a REIT can 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 to
which a corporation is generally subject. 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 a reduction in cash available for distribution to the Stockholders.
See "--Taxation of the Company--Failure to Qualify" in this Section. The Company
represents that it filed the election to be recognized as a real estate
investment trust with its tax return for the year ending December 31, 1995,
which tax return was filed on a timely basis. The Company intends to continue
operating 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 Ltd. is of the opinion that as of March 31, 1998,
and 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 prior, current and anticipated
methods of operation (as described in this Prospectus and represented by the
Company and its management) has enabled and 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 and
conditioned on various assumptions and representations as to certain factual
matters made by the Company and the Advisor to Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. The
Company's qualification and
135
<PAGE> 144
taxation as a REIT will depend upon the Company's ability to meet the REIT
Requirements, through the operation of its current properties and those
properties it acquires in the future. Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. will not review
compliance with these tests on a continuing basis after the initial
effectiveness date of the Registration Statement or issue additional opinions
unless expressly requested to do so. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that
the 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.
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.
Additionally, under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 ( the "1997 Act"),
various changes have been made to the treatment of REITs effective for taxable
years beginning after August 5, 1997. For the Company, these provisions are
effective for the tax year beginning January 1, 1998. See"-1997 Taxpayer Relief
Act of 1997-Significant REIT provisions."
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 the 95% Test or the 75% 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.
136
<PAGE> 145
Any tax the Company pays due to any of the aforementioned provisions will reduce
the cash available to pay dividends.
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 asset in the Company's hands is determined by reference to the
basis of the asset (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;
(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
137
<PAGE> 146
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 at least 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 represents that it: (i) has issued sufficient Capital
Stock pursuant to the Offering to allow the Company to satisfy these
requirements; (ii) did not admit investors as Stockholders until the admission
allowed there to be sufficient Stockholders to meet these requirements; and
(iii) has thereafter admitted only those Stockholders that allow the Company to
continue 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 these requirements and the Company
utilizes computerized systems designed to prevent violations of these
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 maintains records
which disclose the actual ownership of the outstanding Capital Stock, and the
Company has demanded and will demand 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 if it did not acquire any additional assets and the failure
is due solely to changes in the value of its existing assets. In addition, if
the failure to satisfy the Asset Tests results
138
<PAGE> 147
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 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 owns the properties, and the
Company represents that the purchase contracts apportion no more than 5% of the
purchase price of any property to property other than "real property," as
defined in the Code to reflect the fair market value of such non-real estate
assets. In addition, the Company represents that it does not and will not rent
personal property to any tenant at any property, and has maintained and will
maintain depreciation schedules which corroborate this representation. In
addition, the Company has and 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. The Company
represents that as of the date hereof, it does not own any stock or securities
of any other company, and will not acquire securities which would cause the
Company to violate these limitation tests.
If a REIT owns a corporate subsidiary that is a "qualified REIT
subsidiary," within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code, that subsidiary
is disregarded for federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities, and
items of income, deduction and credit of the subsidiary are treated as assets,
liabilities and such items of the REIT itself. A "qualified REIT subsidiary" is
a corporation all of the capital stock of which has been owned by the REIT from
the commencement of such corporation's existence. Pursuant to the 1997 Tax Act,
an existing corporation, all of the capital stock of which is owned by the REIT,
could be a "qualified REIT subsidiary" so long as the acquired corporation is
considered to have liquidated for federal income tax purposes and any
pre-acquisition earnings and profits are distributed before the end of the
REIT's taxable year. Any corporation formed directly by the Company to act as a
general partner in any partnership will be
139
<PAGE> 148
a qualified REIT subsidiary and thus all of its assets, liabilities, and items
of income, deduction and credit will be treated as assets, liabilities, and
items of income, deduction and credit of the Company.
C. Gross Income Tests. The Company must satisfy for each calendar year
three separate tests based on the composition of its gross income, as determined
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
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 constitute "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.
140
<PAGE> 149
(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:
(i) The leases provided to Counsel represent the
only arrangements between the Company and tenants with regard to the
rental of the properties or any portion thereof;
(ii) It has not and will not directly or indirectly
own 10% or more of any tenant that leases space in the properties;
(iii) The portion of any payments received under each
lease which are attributable to personal property constitutes less than
15% of the total rent received under such lease, and the depreciation
schedules maintained for each property corroborate this representation;
(iv) It has not and will not charge rent that is
based on the income or profits of any person in certain properties and
that the percentage rent clauses, if any, in its current leases are not
intended to provide the Company with a prohibited share of income or
profits; and
(v) Services received by tenants in connection with
their leases to the properties are usually or customarily rendered in
connection with 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 Company 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.
141
<PAGE> 150
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 operations indicate that it is
unlikely that the Company will have sufficient, if any, non-qualifying income to
cause adverse consequences. The Company represents that the only income it has
received has been from the leases entered into with tenants at the properties,
and interest income from the investment of amounts not otherwise invested in
properties.
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.
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 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. The Company represents that to date, it has
distributed dividends in excess of its real estate investment trust taxable
income, which thereby has allowed it to meet the Distribution Test.
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.
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.
142
<PAGE> 151
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 by a REIT
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.
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 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 the adjustment in tax basis will
result in increased gain or decreased loss upon the sale of the Shares.
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. 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
143
<PAGE> 152
adjusted tax 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
increase the gain or decrease the loss upon the sale of Shares.
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", Qualified Plans that hold 10% or more of the Shares could
recognize UBTI even without incurring debt to acquire 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.
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 their own tax advisors to determine the impact of United States,
state, and local income tax laws on an investment in the Company, including any
144
<PAGE> 153
reporting requirements, as well as the tax consequences in other countries in
which they are subject to tax.
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.
145
<PAGE> 154
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
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
Company - Purchase with Shares. If the Company acquires properties with
Shares, the Company, will not have any gain or loss on the issuance of its
Shares in return for such properties, regardless of the tax consequences for the
seller. If the transaction is structured as a tax-free transaction for the
seller, such as a merger, the Company will take a carry-over basis for tax
purposes in the assets. Such a carry-over basis will produce a lower basis for
purposes of depreciation then would arise if the Company acquired the real
estate in a taxable transaction, in which event, the Company's basis in the
acquired property would be the same as if the property was purchased outright.
This lower basis will result in lower depreciation deductions on an annual basis
which, all things equal, will increase the Company's income, and, therefore,
increase the amount of
146
<PAGE> 155
distributions the Company must pay in order to maintain its status as a REIT as
compared to the effects on income and distributions had the property been
acquired in a taxable transaction. In addition, if the Company acquires the
property in a tax-free transaction, the rules described above regarding Section
1374 will apply, and, therefore, the Company will only acquire those properties
which it intends to hold for more than ten (10) years.
Distribution Reinvestment Program. Stockholders who purchased Shares
pursuant to the Company's Prior Offerings as well as Stockholders who purchase
shares in the Offering and participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Program
will recognize taxable dividend income on the value of the Shares received, 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.
TAXPAYER RELIEF ACT OF 1997 - SIGNIFICANT REIT PROVISIONS
The 1997 Tax Act including various changes to the tax treatment of
REITs effective for taxable years beginning after August 5, 1997. In the case of
the Company, these provisions will be effective beginning January 1, 1998. Set
forth below is a summary of these changes.
Alternative Penalties for Failure to Ascertain Ownership. Under the
1997 Tax Act, the rule that disqualifies a REIT for any year in which the REIT
failed to comply with regulations to ascertain its ownership has been replaced
with an intermediate penalty of $25,000 ($50,000 for intentional violations) for
any year in which the REIT did not comply with the ownership regulations. In
addition, a REIT that complied with the regulations for ascertaining its
ownership, and which did not know, or have reason to know, that it was so
closely held as to be classified as a personal holding company would not be
treated as a personal holding company.
De Minimis Rule for Tenant Service Income. Under the 1997 Tax Act, a
REIT is allowed to render a de minimis amount of impermissible services to
tenants, including managing or operating the property, and still treat amounts
received with respect to that property as rent, as long as the amount received
with respect to the impermissible services or management does not exceed one
percent of the REIT's gross income from the property. These services must not be
valued at less than 150 percent of the REIT's direct cost of the services.
147
<PAGE> 156
Attribution Rules. Under the 1997 Tax Act, for purposes of determining
(i) whether a tenant is a "Related Party Tenant" and (ii) whether a party is an
independent contractor, a partner's ownership only is attributed to a
partnership if the partner owns a 25% or greater interest in the capital or
profits of that partnership.
Election to Retain and Pay Tax on Retained Capital Gains. The 1997 Tax
Act permits a REIT to elect to retain and pay income tax on net long-term
capital gains it received during the tax year. If a REIT makes this election,
the REIT shareholders include in their income as long-term capital gains their
proportionate share of the long-term capital gains as designated by the REIT.
Also, the shareholder will be deemed to have paid a proportionate share of the
tax, which could be credited or refunded to the shareholder. The shareholder's
basis in its shares is increased by the amount of the undistributed long-term
capital gains (less the proportionate amount of capital gains tax paid by the
REIT) included in the shareholder's long-term capital gains.
Repeal of 30-Percent Gross Income Requirement. The 1997 Tax Act repeals
the 30 percent gross income requirement ("30% test"). The 30% test required the
Company to derive less than 30% of its gross income for each taxable year from
the sale or other disposition of: (i) real property held less than four years
(other than foreclosure property and property disposed of through involuntary
conversions); (ii) stock or securities held for less than one year; and (iii)
property in a prohibited transaction. With the repeal of the 30% test, the
Company is no longer subject to the above restraints.
Non-REIT Earnings and Profits. The 1997 Tax Act changes the ordering
rule for purposes of the requirement that newly-electing REITs distribute
earnings and profits that were accumulated in non-REIT years such that
distributions of accumulated earnings and profits generally would be treated as
made from the entity's earliest accumulated earnings and profits.
Treatment of Foreclosure Property. The 1997 Tax Act lengthens the grace
period for foreclosure property to three taxable years following the election
and allows for the possibility of an additional three year extension by filing a
request with the Service. Additionally, a REIT may revoke an election to treat
property as foreclosure property for any taxable year.
Payments Received under Hedging Instruments. The 1997 Tax Act treats
income and gain from all hedges that reduce the interest rate risk associated
with REIT liabilities as qualifying income under the 95% gross income test.
Excess Non-Cash Income. The 1997 Tax Act (i) expands the class of
excess noncash items that are not subject to the 95% distribution requirement to
include income from the cancellation of indebtedness, and (ii) extends the
treatment of original issue discount and coupon interest as excess noncash items
to REITs using the accrual method.
Prohibited Transaction Safe Harbor. The 1997 Tax Act excludes from the
prohibited sales rules any property that was involuntarily converted.
148
<PAGE> 157
Shared Appreciation Mortgages. The 1997 Tax Act provides that interest
received on a shares appreciation mortgage is not subject to the tax on
prohibited transactions where the property subject to the mortgage is sold
within four years of the REIT's acquisition of the mortgage pursuant to a
bankruptcy plan of the mortgagor unless the REIT, when it acquired the mortgage,
knew or had reason to know that the property subject to the mortgage would be
sold in a bankruptcy proceeding.
Qualified REIT Subsidiaries. The 1997 Tax Act permits any corporation
wholly-owned by a REIT to be treated as a qualified REIT subsidiary, regardless
of whether the corporation has always been owned by the REIT. However, if the
REIT acquires an existing corporation, such corporation is treated as if it had
been liquidated at the time of acquisition by the REIT and then reincorporated,
so that any pre-REIT built-in gains will be taxed. In addition, any pre-REIT
earnings and profits of the subsidiary must be distributed before the end of the
REIT's taxable year.
149
<PAGE> 158
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).
150
<PAGE> 159
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 represents that the Shares are held by over 100 independent
investors and therefore are currently considered "widely-held."
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. The DOL Regulations provide that 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 will
not affect whether securities are freely transferable. 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 are "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 Company is authorized to issue 106,000,000 shares of capital stock
comprised of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), and 6,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Preferred Stock"). The Common Stock offered hereby are duly
authorized, fully-paid and nonassessable when issued for the consideration
contemplated herein. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has issued
35,855,795 shares of Common Stock, reserved 625,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options for warrants granted or
issued by the Company; reserved 433,370 shares of Common Stock for issuance
pursuant to the exercise of options for warrants granted or issued by the
Company in Prior Offerings; and reserved an additional 2,000,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Company's Distribution Reinvestment
Program.
151
<PAGE> 160
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
of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or market. The Company
does not intend to list the Common Stock prior to the termination of this
Offering. However, the Company anticipates that by 1999 it will apply to have
the Common Stock listed, or included on the Nasdaq National Market subject to
the Company meeting the applicable listing requirements and the Board
determining that such action is in the best interest of the Company.
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.
The Company intends to issue the shares and Soliciting Dealer Warrants
(including the shares issuable on exercise of the 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 will be fully transferable upon payment of consideration set
forth herein, 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 or
her 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 to issue and sell to the Dealer Manager, one
warrant to purchase one Share for every 40 Shares sold by the Dealer Manager
(the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants") up to a maximum of 625,000 warrants to
purchase an equivalent number of Shares. The Dealer Manager has agreed to pay
the Company $0.0008 for each Soliciting Dealer Warrant. These warrants will be
issued on a quarterly basis commencing 60 days after the date on which the
Shares are first sold pursuant to this Offering. The Dealer Manager may retain
or reallow Soliciting Dealer Warrants to Soliciting Dealers except where
prohibited by either federal or state securities laws. The Company will not
issue Soliciting Dealer Warrants to the Dealer Manager, and the Dealer Manager
will not transfer Soliciting Dealer Warrants, in connection with the sale of
Shares to residents of the States of Minnesota, Nebraska, South Carolina,
Tennessee or Texas.
The holder of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase
one Share from the Company at a price of $13.20 (120% of the public offering
price per Share) during the time period beginning from the date the Soliciting
Dealer Warrants are issued and ending on April ___, 2003 (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 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 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. A copy of the Warrant Purchase Agreement is included as an
exhibit to this Registration Statement.
Holders of Soliciting Dealer Warrants do not have the rights of
Stockholders and 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 into 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 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.
154
<PAGE> 163
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 is 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 the Board. 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.
155
<PAGE> 164
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 to
transact such other business as may come 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 must 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 of common stock. Upon
receipt of a written request, either in person or by mail, stating the
purpose(s) of the meeting, the Company must provide all Stockholders, within ten
days after receipt of the 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
fifteen 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 constitutes a quorum, and the requisite vote
of the Stockholders on any particular issue submitted to Stockholders will be
binding on all Stockholders even if all Stockholders do not approve or
disapprove the proposal.
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 must
nominate a replacement. Vacancies occurring as a result of the removal of a
Director by Stockholders must 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.
Individuals nominated to serve as Directors must have at least three
years of relevant experience and demonstrate the knowledge required to
successfully acquire and manage the type
156
<PAGE> 165
of assets being acquired by the Company. At least one of the individuals
nominated to serve as an Independent Director must have at least three years of
relevant real estate experience.
STOCKHOLDER VOTING RIGHTS
Except as otherwise provided, all shares 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 may not exceed voting rights
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.
Directors are elected by the nominees receiving the highest number of
total 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
must 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 approval of holders 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 qualification, fiduciary
duties, 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. For
purposes of (b) above, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets means 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 in the denominator.
Each Stockholder entitled to vote may do so: (i) at a meeting in person
or by written proxy received by the Board prior to the meeting signed by the
Stockholder directing the manner in which he or she desires that his or her vote
be cast; or (ii) without a meeting by a consent in writing signed by the
Stockholder directing the manner in which he or she desires that his or her vote
be cast. The
157
<PAGE> 166
written consent 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, is
maintained as part of the books and records of the Company at the Company's
principal office. This list is updated at least quarterly and is open for
inspection by a Stockholder or his designated agent upon such Stockholder's
request. The purpose for which a Stockholder may request a copy of the
Stockholder list include: matters relating to the Stockholder's voting rights
and the exercise of the Stockholders' rights under federal proxy laws. This list
will 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 the list.
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, 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.
Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof is permitted
access to all records of the Company at all reasonable times and may inspect and
copy any of them. In addition, the books and records of the Company are 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 holders of a
majority of the then outstanding shares, without the concurrence of 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 any amendment 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
158
<PAGE> 167
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 shares. 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
subsequent offerings after completion of this Offering. If listing of the shares
is not feasible by 1999, the Board may decide to: (a) sell the Company's assets
individually; (b) 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 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 be approved by all of the Independent Directors
and by the holders of 662/3 of the shares, 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 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 must be obtained from a person with no current or
prior business or personal relationship with the Advisor or the Directors.
Further, the person must be engaged, to a substantial
159
<PAGE> 168
extent, in the business of rendering valuation opinions of assets 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 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 will 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 must be appraised
in a consistent manner and the appraisal must be based on an evaluation of all
relevant information indicating the value of the Company's assets as of a date
immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed Roll-Up transaction. The
appraisal must assume an orderly liquidation of the Company's assets over a
12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the Independent Expert must
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, must 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 listed on a national
securities exchange or traded through the Nasdaq National Market for at least
twelve months; or (ii) a transaction involving the conversion of the Company to
corporate, trust or association form 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) reduce in the Stockholders' voting rights below 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
160
<PAGE> 169
(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 the Company may participate in a proposed Roll-Up if the
Stockholders would have rights and be subject to 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 must 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 may 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 these limitations. The Independent Directors may,
however, determine that a higher level of Total Operating Expenses is justified
for a particular period because of unusual and non-recurring expenses. Any such
finding by the Independent Directors and the reasons in support thereof must be
recorded in the minutes of the meeting of Directors. If Total
161
<PAGE> 170
Operating Expenses exceed these limitations during any fiscal quarter on a
rolling twelve-month basis, then within 60 days after the end of the fiscal
quarter in question, the Company must send a written report to the Stockholders,
together with an explanation of the facts the Independent Directors considered
in arriving at the conclusion that the higher operating expenses were justified.
If the Total Operating Expenses exceed the limitations described above and if
the Independent Directors are unable to conclude that the excess was justified
then, within 60 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year, the Advisor
must 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 on transactions 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 the transaction determines that the
terms and conditions are fair and reasonable and no less
favorable to the Company than those offered by 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 the 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. A majority of the Directors
have approved the acquisition of two properties, the Eagle
Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property, from
IPS, an Affiliate, and the acquisition of Elmhurst City Center
from an Independent Director. See "Conflicts of
Interest--Acquisitions from Affiliates" and
"--Non-Arm's-Length Agreements" and "Real Property
Investments"; or
(iv) sell property, 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 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 borrowings of the Company, secured and unsecured,
162
<PAGE> 171
must be reasonable in relation to the Net Assets of the Company and are reviewed
by the Board at least quarterly. The Company anticipates that aggregate
borrowings secured by all of the Company's properties will not exceed 50% of
their combined fair market value. The maximum amount of indebtedness as a
percentage of Net Assets may not, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that
a higher level of borrowing is appropriate, exceed 300% of Net Assets. Any
borrowings in excess of 300% of net assets may only be incurred with the consent
of a majority of the Stockholders. See "Investment Objectives and
Policies--Borrowing." As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company's total
indebtedness is $154,000,000. The Company may 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 the transaction, determines that such transaction is fair and
reasonable and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company than
from unaffiliated parties under the same or similar circumstances.
RESTRICTIONS ON INVESTMENTS
The investment policies set forth in the Articles have been 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 observes the following restrictions on its investments set forth in
its Articles:
(i) Not more than 10% of the Company's total assets may 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. This limitation does not apply to interest rate
futures when used solely for hedging purposes;
(iii) The Company may not invest in or make mortgage loans unless an
appraisal of the underlying property is obtained. Mortgage
indebtedness on any property may not exceed the 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, the appraisal must be obtained from an Independent
Expert. The appraisal must be maintained in the Company's
records for at least five years, and must 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
163
<PAGE> 172
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 secured by
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 may not invest in equity securities unless a
majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the
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 traded 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 may 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) 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) must determine that the
consideration paid for the real property is equal to fair
market

value as determined by a qualified independent real estate
appraiser selected by the Independent Directors;
(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 the Junior Debt,
plus the outstanding amount of the Senior Debt, does not
exceed 90% of the appraised value of the property and, 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 these requirements is
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.
The Company's investment objectives and policies may only be changed by amending
the Articles, which requires the affirmative vote of the Stockholders holding a
majority of the outstanding shares.

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 not be commingled with the accounts
of the Advisor and its Affiliates. The subscription proceeds will be held in
trust for the benefit of the subscribers until released from the escrow account
and utilized for the purpose set forth in "Estimated Use of Proceeds of
Offering." 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 twenty-four 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 an offering of shares by the Company which commenced on
October 14, 1994 and terminated on July 22, 1996. The Advisor received 20,000
shares in consideration of this capital contribution. The Advisor may not sell
or otherwise transfer these shares while it remains the Advisor except to an
Affiliate. The Advisor and its Affiliates may purchase additional shares for
their own accounts. However, at no time will the Advisor or its Affiliates own
more than 9.8% of the total number of the Company's outstanding shares. Any
purchases of Shares by the Advisor during the Offering will be for investment
purposes only and not with a view toward distribution.
SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS
The Shares are being offered to the public by the Dealer Manager and
the Soliciting Dealers. The form of Soliciting Dealers Agreement between the
Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers requires the Soliciting 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 the 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 three business days after acceptance by the Company. A
sale of the Shares may not be completed until at least three business days
after the date the subscriber receives a Prospectus and, as may be required by
certain state regulatory authorities, a copy of the Organizational Documents.
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.
166
<PAGE> 175
Shares will only be sold to persons who initially purchase a minimum
of 300 Shares ($3,300) or Tax-Exempt Entities which purchase a minimum of 100
Shares ($1,100), except for investors in the State of Iowa where the minimum
investment for IRAs will be 300 Shares ($3,300) and investors in the State of
Minnesota where the minimum investment for IRAs and qualified plan accounts
will be 200 Shares ($2,200). 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 will make
every reasonable effort to determine that those persons being offered or sold
the Shares satisfy the suitability standards set forth herein and that an
investment in the Shares is an appropriate investment for the investor. The
Soliciting Dealers must ascertain that the investors can reasonably benefit
from an investment in the Company. In making the determination, the Soliciting
Dealers will consider whether: (i) the investor has the capability of
understanding the fundamental aspects of the Company based on the investor's
employment experience, education, access to advice from qualified sources such
as attorneys, accountants and tax advisors and 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 its determination that the Shares are a suitable investment for
the investor. Each Soliciting Dealer is required to represent and warrant that
it has complied with all applicable laws in determining the suitability of the
Shares as an investment for the subscriber. The Company and its Affiliates
will 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
must maintain a record of the information obtained to determine that an
investor meets the suitability standards 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 for at least six years.
COMPENSATION
The Company will pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions equal to
up to seven percent (7%) on all Shares sold for serving as the dealer manager
of the Offering and for the sale of Shares through its efforts. A portion of
these selling commissions may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers,
as compensation for their services in soliciting and obtaining subscribers for
the purchase of Shares. Up to an additional 2.0% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds, a portion of which may be reallowed to Soliciting Dealers, may be
paid to the Dealer Manager as a Marketing Contribution for marketing fees,
wholesaling fees, expense reimbursements, bonuses and incentive compensation
and volume discounts. In addition, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting
Dealers
167
<PAGE> 176
may be reimbursed by the Company for bona fide due diligence expenses not to
exceed a maximum of 0.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds. 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. 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 may also
reallow commissions to Soliciting Dealers on an incentive basis. Any incentive
compensation will be paid quarterly and will not exceed 1% of the price of the
Shares. Marketing and due diligence costs paid by the Dealer Manager on behalf
of, or to, the Soliciting Dealers will be deducted from any incentive
compensation.
Soliciting Dealers will receive one Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each
forty (40) Shares sold by such Soliciting Dealer during the Offering, subject
to federal and state securities laws subject to a maximum of 625,000 warrants,
except in the case of Shares sold to residents of the States of Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee or Texas where the Company will not issue
and the Dealer Manager will not transfer Soliciting Dealer Warrants. The
holder of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase one Share
from the Company at a price of $13.20 during the period commencing with the
first date upon which the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and ending on
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
Warrant will be exercisable until one year from the date of issuance. Holders
of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, therefore, have, at nominal cost, the
opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price for the Common Stock
without assuming the risk of ownership. Exercise of these warrants will dilute
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 maximum compensation to be paid by the Company in connection with
the Offering will not exceed: (i) a total of 7% of the Gross Offering Proceeds
for selling commissions; and (ii) a total of 2% of the Gross Offering Proceeds
for marketing fees, wholesaling fees, expense reimbursements, bonuses and
incentive compensation and volume discounts. The aggregate of these
commissions and expenses plus the value attributable to the warrants that may
be issued to the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers will not exceed 10%
of the Gross Offering Proceeds. In addition, the Dealer Manager and the
Soliciting Dealers may be reimbursed for bona fide due diligence expenses not
to exceed a maximum of 0.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds.
The Company may 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 that nothing herein shall prohibit the registered
broker-dealer or other properly licensed person from earning a sales commission
in connection with sale of the Shares.
168
<PAGE> 177
VOLUME DISCOUNTS
Investors purchasing at least $220,000 worth of Shares (20,000 Shares)
will be entitled to a reduction in the selling commission payable in connection
with the sale of these Shares in accordance with the following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Amount of
Purchaser's Investment Maximum Commission
------------------------------ -------------------
From To per Share
---- -- ---------
<S> <C> <C>
$220,000 499,999 5.5%
500,000 999,999 4.0%
1,000,000 1,999,999 2.5%
2,000,000 and over 1.0%
</TABLE>
Any reduction in the selling commission in respect of volume discounts will be
credited to the investor in the form of additional whole Shares or fractional
Shares purchased net of commissions.
Subscriptions for shares in the Company may be combined: (i) with
subscriptions in this Offering or (ii) with subscriptions from any of the
Company's Prior Offerings for the purpose of crediting an investor with
additional Shares and for determining commissions payable to the Dealer Manager
and reallowable to Soliciting Dealers so long as all combined purchases are
made through the same Soliciting Dealer. Additionally, subscriptions of
persons holding as joint tenants or tenants in common may be combined for
purposes of computing amounts invested. Subscriptions from Tax-Exempt Entities
may be combined for purposes of computing amounts invested if investment
decisions are made by the same person. The investor must mark the "Additional
Purchase" space on the Subscription Agreement Signature Page in order for
subscriptions to be combined. The Company is not responsible for failing to
combine subscriptions, where the investor fails to mark the "Additional
Purchase" space.
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 ($9.95 per Share).
TRANSFER OF SHARES
A Stockholder may assign all or some of his or her Shares, subject to
the Ownership Limit contained in the Articles. An assignment will 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 delivered to the Company; (ii)
reimbursement of the Company for reasonable expenses and filing costs incurred
in connection with such transfer not to exceed $100; (iii) no assignment will
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 will be effective if
such assignment would, in the opinion
169
<PAGE> 178
of counsel to the Company, result in the termination of the Company's status as
a REIT under the Code; (v) an assignment may be rejected if it 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 (vi) no assignment will 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 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.
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 will 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) the
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 the claims against a particular
indemnitee and approves indemnification of the settlement and related costs
after being 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 Dealer Manager and 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 will be deemed to be an "underwriter" as
that term is defined in the Act.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT AND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PROGRAM
The Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP") provides the
Company's Stockholders with an opportunity to purchase additional Shares by
reinvesting Distributions. Stockholders who elect to take part in the DRP
("Participants") authorize the Company to use Distributions payable to them to
purchase additional Shares; provided that Participants are not permitted to
acquire Shares under the DRP if the purchase would cause the Purchaser to
exceed the Ownership Limit.
Purchases under the DRP are made at a price equal to $10.45 per Share,
a reduction from the $11.00 offering price which price reflects a decrease in
costs associated with these issuances. 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 or she
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 or she will promptly so notify the Company in
writing.
Commencing with the first Distribution paid after the effective date
of the Offering, Participants will acquire Shares from the Company at a fixed
price of $10.45 per Share. It is possible that a secondary market will develop
for the Shares, and that Shares may be bought and sold on the secondary market
at prices lower or higher than the price at which shares may be purchased
through 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.
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 these 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 amount of Distributions received during the prior fiscal year.
The individualized statement to Participants include receipts and purchases
relating to each
172
<PAGE> 181
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.
Stockholders who participate in the DRP will recognize dividend
income, taxable to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings
and profits, in the amount of the value of the Shares and as though they had
received the cash rather than purchased shares through the DRP. 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, for tax purposes, beginning with the day after purchase, and a
tax basis equal to their value, 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 and the DRP is continued,
Shares purchased by the Company for the DRP may be purchased on such exchange
or market, at the prevailing market price, and will be sold to Stockholders at
such price.
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.
Repurchases under the SRP are made quarterly by the Company on a
first-come, first-served basis, and are limited in the following manner: (i)
not more than $500,000 worth of the outstanding shares may be repurchased in
any given year; and (ii) the funds available for repurchase are limited to
available proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the
DRP. The determination of available funds from sales under the DRP is made at
the sole discretion of the Board. In making this determination, the Board
considers 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 are given 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 owned 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 or her request for
repurchase; or (ii) ask that the Company honor the request at such time, if
any, when funds are available. 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
173
<PAGE> 182
period and will be terminated following the close of the Offering period if:
(i) 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 canceled, 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.
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 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.
174
<PAGE> 183
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 for the property; (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

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
(a Maryland corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting
Inland Real Estate Corporation (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. Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. (the "Advisor"), an
Affiliate of the Company, is the advisor to the Company. On October 14, 1994,
the Company commenced an initial public offering, on a best efforts basis,
("Initial Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock ("Shares") at $10.00
per Share. As of July 24, 1996, the Company had received subscriptions for a
total of 5,000,000 Shares, thereby completing the Initial Offering. On July 24,
1996, the Company commenced an offering of an additional 10,000,000 Shares at
$10.00 per Share, on a best efforts basis, (the "Second Offering"). As of July
10, 1997, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of 10,000,000
Shares, thereby completing the Second Offering. On July 14, 1997, the Company
commenced an offering of an additional 20,000,000 Shares at $10.00 per Share, on
a best efforts basis, (the "Third Offering"). As of December 31, 1997, the
Company had received subscriptions for a total of 9,326,186 Shares from the
Third Offering. In addition, as of December 31, 1997, the Company has
distributed 699,954 shares through the Company's Distribution Reinvestment
Program ("DRP"). As of December 31, 1997, the Company has repurchased a total of
52,800 Shares through the Share Repurchase Program. As a result, as of December
31, 1997, Gross Offering Proceeds total $249,231,797, net of Shares repurchased
through the Share Repurchase Program.
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.

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
(a Maryland corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
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.
Restricted cash at December 31, 1997 includes $861,716 held in escrow for the
principal payments payable on the Aurora Commons mortgage and $87,496 held in
escrow by the mortgagee for the payment of real estate taxes at Aurora Commons.
Restricted cash at December 31, 1997 also includes amounts held as vacancy
escrows on Cobbler Crossing, Mallard Crossing and Shorecrest Shopping Center.
The monthly amounts drawn for rent under the master lease escrows decrease the
basis of the respective properties. Restricted cash at December 31, 1997 also
includes $325,000 held in escrow for tenant improvement costs at Fashion Square
and $600,000 held at Cole Taylor bank to redeem a portion of the bonds at
Fashion Square (Note 9).
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 requires the Company to
record an impairment loss on its property to be held for investment whenever its
carrying value cannot be fully recovered through estimated undiscounted future
cash flows from operations and sale of properties. The amount of the impairment
loss to be recognized would be the difference between the property's carrying
value and the property's estimated fair value. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company does not believe any such impairments of its properties exists.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and
improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for
the building and building improvements and 15 years for the site improvements.
Loan fees are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the related
loans.
Deferred organization costs are amortized over a 60-month period.
Offering costs are offset against the Stockholders' equity accounts. Offering
costs consist principally of printing, selling and registration costs.
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each
lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis 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 mortgages
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
mortgages 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 relatively short maturity of these
instruments.
In 1997, the Company adopted FASB No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation". As allowed by FASB No. 123, the Company plans to continue to
use Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" in accounting for its stock options. This accounting pronouncement
did not have a material effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which the
company will adopt in fiscal year 1998. This Statement will have no material
effect on the Company's primary or diluted net income per share.

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 several
purchases, the Company will receive rent under master lease agreements on
the spaces currently vacant for periods ranging from one to two years or
until the spaces are leased. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP") 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. The cumulative amount of such payments was $981,055 and $570,694 as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively (Note 5).
Cost and accumulated depreciation of the above properties are summarized as

(5) Operating Leases
Master Lease Agreements
As part of the purchases of several of the properties, the Company will receive
rent under master lease agreements on spaces currently vacant for periods
ranging from one to two years or until the spaces are leased and tenants begin
paying rent. GAAP requires the Company to reduce the purchase price of the
properties as these payments are received, rather than record the payments as
rental income.
Minimum lease payments under operating leases to be received in the future,
excluding rental income under master lease agreements and assuming no expiring
leases are renewed:
Number of
Minimum Lease Leases
Payments Expiring
------------- -----------
1998...................................... $ 30,852,420 66
1999...................................... 27,815,045 101
2000...................................... 24,678,197 73
2001...................................... 21,377,331 49
2002...................................... 18,920,519 55
Thereafter................................ 137,903,729 82
------------
Total..................................... $261,547,241
============
No assumptions were made regarding the releasing of expired leases. It is the
opinion of the Company's management that the space will be released at market
rates.
Remaining lease terms range from one year to thirty two years. Pursuant to the
lease agreements, tenants of the property are required to reimburse the Company
for some or all of their pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating
expenses of the property. Such amounts are included in additional rental income.
Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for stepped rent increases.
GAAP requires the Company to record rental income 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 increases of $654,978, $119,225 and $12,413 in
1997, 1996 and 1995, of rental income for the period of occupancy for which
stepped rent increases apply and $786,616 and $131,638 in related accounts
receivable as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company
anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the related leases as
scheduled rent payments are made.

Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
Notes:
(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) The aggregate cost of real estate owned at December 31, 1997 and 1996 for
federal income tax purposes was approximately $277,000,000 and
$95,000,000, unaudited respectively.
(C) As part of the Montgomery-Goodyear, Hartford/Naperville Plaza, Nantucket
Square, Antioch Plaza, Mundelein Plaza, Regency Point, Prospect Heights
Plaza, Montgomery-Sears and Salem Square 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. GAAP requires that as these payments are received, the
Company record the payments as a reduction in the purchase price of the
properties rather than as rental income. The Company has recorded

Note C of the Notes to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations as though they
occurred the earlier of January 1, 1997 or the date operations commenced. No pro

interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum and requires a loan fee of 1/4%.
Aurora Commons Shopping Center
As part of the acquisition of Aurora Commons Shopping Center, the Company
assumed the existing mortgage loan, maturing December 31, 2001, with the
balance funded with cash and cash equivalents. The loan bears interest at a
rate of 9% per annum with monthly payments of principal and interest on the

the proceeds of a short-term loan maturing February 7, 1997 in the amount of
$2,016,110 from Inland Mortgage Investment Corporation ("IMIC"), an

Year ended December 31, 1997
1. Business
Chestnut Court Shopping Center (Chestnut Court) is located in Darien,
Illinois. It consists of approximately 168,000 square feet of gross
leasable area and was 65% leased and occupied at December 31, 1997. Inland
Real Estate Corporation has signed a sale and purchase agreement for the
purchase of Chestnut Court from an unaffiliated third party.
2. Basis of Presentation
The Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses
(Historical Summary) 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 Real Estate
Corporation and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Chestnut
Court's revenues and expenses. The Historical Summary has been prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting and requires management of Chestnut Court
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may
differ from those estimates.
3. Gross Income
Chestnut Court leases retail space under various lease agreements with its
tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. The leases
include provisions under which Chestnut Court is reimbursed for common
area, real estate, and insurance costs. Operating expenses and real estate
tax recoveries reflected in the Historical Summary include amounts for 1997
expenses for which the tenants have not yet been billed.
Chestnut Court received approximately $765,500 of tenant termination
income during the year ended December 31, 1997 related to an early lease
termination.
Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
receivable under the lease provisions. 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. Related adjustments increased base rental income by $567 for the
year ended December 31, 1997.

4. Direct Operating Expenses
Direct operating expenses include only those costs expected to be
comparable to the proposed future operations of Mill Creek. Costs such as
mortgage interest, depreciation, amortization and professional fees are
excluded from the Historical Summary.
Mill Creek has not received its real estate tax bill for 1997. Real
estate tax expense is estimated based upon bills for 1996. The difference
between the estimate and the final tax bill is not expected to have a
material impact on the Historical Summary.
Mill Creek is managed pursuant to the terms of a management agreement for
$3,000 per month (for a total of $36,000 per year). Subsequent to the sale
of Mill Creek (note 1), the current management agreement will cease. Any
new management agreement may cause future management fees to differ from
the amounts reflected in the Historical Summary.

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 return 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 partnership 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.

(000's included)
NOTES TO TABLE III
(A) "Taxable income (loss)" represents the aggregate amounts shown on the
partnership's 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) "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 example:

(E) 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.
(F) 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.

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PROGRAM
Inland Real Estate Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the
"Company"), pursuant to its Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as
amended (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.
i. As agent for the Stockholders who purchased Shares pursuant to
the Company's prior public Offerings, the first of which
commenced October 14, 1994 and was completed on July 22, 1996
and the second of which commenced on July 24, 1996 and the
third of which commenced on July 14, 1997 and was completed on
March 31, 1998 (the "Prior Offerings") and the current
offering of Shares by the Company pursuant to the prospectus
dated April __, 1998 (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.
ii. Procedure for Participation. Any Stockholder who purchased
Shares pursuant to the Company's Prior Offerings 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.
iii. Purchase of Shares. Participants will acquire Shares from the
Company at a fixed price of $10.45 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
B-1
<PAGE> 305
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 $10.45 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 canceled. 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 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.
iv. 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.
v. 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.
vi. 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
B-2
<PAGE> 306
account. Upon termination of DRP participation, Distributions
will be distributed to the Stockholder in cash.
vii. 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.
viii. 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.
ix. Governing Law. This DRP shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Maryland.

ITEM 32. SALES TO SPECIAL PARTIES.
Employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates will be
permitted to purchase Shares net of sales commissions.
ITEM 33. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Options to purchase up to 13,500 Shares have been granted as of the
date of this Prospectus to the Independent Directors pursuant to the
Independent Director Stock Option Plan. On October 24, 1996, 1,000 shares of
common stock were sold to Roland Burris, a Director of the Company, for an
aggregate of $9,050, pursuant to the exercise of options by Mr. Burris. Since
the transaction did not involve any public offering or general solicitation and
Mr. Burris had access to the Company's registration statement and the requisite
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the
transaction, the Company relied on the exemption from registration provided in
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in order to issue the shares to Mr. Burris.
ITEM 34. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement and Bylaws,
as amended, 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
I-1
<PAGE> 313
of the Maryland General Corporation Law, to indemnify and pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses to: any Director, officer, employee, or agent of the
Company or the Advisor and its Affiliate (each an "Indemnified Party"),
provided, that: (i) the Indemnified Party has 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 Indemnified Party 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, 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 an Indemnified Party
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 the Indemnified Party 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.

ITEM 37. UNDERTAKINGS.
A. The Registrant undertakes:
(a) to file any prospectuses required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Act as post-effective amendments to this
Registration Statement;
(b) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Act, each such post-effective amendment may
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(c) that all post-effective amendments will comply with
the applicable forms, rules and regulations of the
Commission in effect at the time such post-effective
amendments are filed; and
(d) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
B. The Registrant undertakes to file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post- effective amendment to the Registration
Statement to: (a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act; (b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
I-6
<PAGE> 318
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement; and (c) include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
C. The Registrant undertakes to send to each Stockholder at least
on an annual basis a detailed statement of any transactions with the Advisor or
its Affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensation and other benefits paid
or accrued to the Advisor or its Affiliates for the fiscal year completed,
showing the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services
performed.
D. The Registrant undertakes to provide to the Stockholders the
financial statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of
operations of the Company.
E. The Registrant hereby undertakes to send to the Stockholders,
within 60 days after the close of each quarterly fiscal period, the information
specified by Form 10-Q, if such report is required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
F. The Registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement
pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the Act during the distribution period describing
each property not identified in the prospectus at such time as there arises a
reasonable probability that such property will be acquired and to consolidate
all such stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every
three months, with the information contained in such amendment provided
simultaneously to the existing Stockholders. Each sticker supplement should
also disclose all compensation and fees received by the Advisor and its
Affiliates in connection with any such acquisition. The post-effective
amendment shall include audited financial statements meeting the requirements
of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X only for properties acquired during the
distribution period.
The Registrant also undertakes to file, after the end of the
distribution period, a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial
statements and any additional information required by Rule 3.14 of Regulation
S-X, to reflect 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 whether such indemnification
I-7
<PAGE> 319
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Oak Brook,
State of Illinois, on the 3rd day of April, 1998.

<PAGE> 3
1. Representation and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
represents, warrants and agrees with you that:
(a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. A registration
statement (File No. 333- 45233) on Form S-11 with respect to 28,058,370
Shares, including warrants (and shares issuable on exercise of the
warrants) which are issuable in certain circumstances in connection
with sale of the Shares and Shares issuable pursuant to the Company's
Distribution Reinvestment Program has been prepared by the Company
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the
rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder and has been
filed with the Commission under the Act; one or more amendments to such
registration statement have been or may be so prepared and filed. As
used in this Agreement, the term "Registration Statement" means such
registration statement in the form in which it becomes effective, the
term "Effective Date" means the date upon which the Registration
Statement is or was first declared effective by the Commission and the
term "Prospectus" means the prospectus in the form constituting a part
of the Registration Statement as well as in the form first filed with
the Commission pursuant to its Rule 424 after the Registration
Statement becomes effective. The Commission has not issued any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending before
or threatened by the Commission under the Act.
(b) Compliance with the Act. From the time the Registration
Statement becomes effective and at all times subsequent thereto up to
and including the Termination Date (as defined in Section 2(c) hereof):
(i) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and
any amendments or supplements thereto will contain all
statements which are required to be stated therein by the Act
and the Rules and Regulations and will comply in all material
respects with the Act and the Rules and Regulations; and
(ii) neither the Registration Statement nor the
Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto will at any
such time include any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any 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.
(c) No Subsequent Material Events. Subsequent to the
respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus and prior to the Termination Date, except as
contemplated in the Prospectus or as disclosed in a supplement or
amendment thereto or in the periodic financial statements of the
Company, the Company has not and will not have:
(i) incurred any material liabilities or obligations,
direct or contingent; or
(ii) entered into any material transaction, not in
the ordinary course of business and, except as so disclosed,

formed and validly existing under the Maryland General Corporation Law
(the "MGCL").
(e) Authorization of Agreement. This Agreement has been duly
and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the
Company and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company
enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws of the United States, any state or any political
subdivision thereof which affect creditors' rights generally or by
equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies); the
performance of this Agreement and the Organizational Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein,
respectively, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof,
respectively, do not and will not result in a breach of any of the
terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute,
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, note, lease
or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which the Company or its property is bound, or under any rule or
regulation or order of any court or other governmental agency or body
with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties; and no
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental
agency or body has been or is required for the performance of this
Agreement or by the Organizational Documents, or for the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, respectively
(except as have been obtained under the Act, from the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or as may be
required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the
offer and sale of the Shares or under the laws of states in which the
Company may own real properties in connection with its qualification to
transact business in such states or as may be required by subsequent
events which may occur).
(f) Pending Actions. There is no material action, suit or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, to
which the Company is a party, before or by any court or governmental
agency or body which adversely affects the offering of the Shares.
(g) Required Filings. There are no contracts or other
documents required to be filed by the Act or the Rules and Regulations
of the Commission thereunder as exhibits to the Registration Statement
which have not been so filed.
(h) Federal Income Tax Laws. The Corporation has obtained an
opinion of Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. stating that, under existing federal
income tax laws and regulations, assuming the Company acts as described
in the "Federal Income Tax Considerations" section of the Prospectus
and timely files the requisite elections, counsel is of the opinion
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 prior, current and anticipated methods
of operation (as described and represented by
management) has enabled and should enable it to satisfy the REIT
Requirements (as defined in the Prospectus).
(i) Independent Public Accountants. To the best of the
Company's knowledge, the accountants who have certified certain
financial statements appearing in the Prospectus
3
<PAGE> 5
are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and
the Rules and Regulations.
(j) Escrow Agreement. The Company has entered into an escrow
agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with Inland Securities Corporation,
Oak Brook, Illinois (the "Dealer Manager"), and LaSalle National Bank,
N.A., Chicago, Illinois (the "Escrow Agent"), in the form included as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which provides for the
establishment of an escrow account (the "Escrow Account"). During the
period commencing with the Effective Date and ending on the Termination
Date, the Company will deposit subscribers funds in the Escrow Account
as described in Section 2 below.
(k) Sales Literature. In addition to and apart from the
Prospectus, the Company may use certain supplemental sales material in
connection with the offering of the Shares. This material, prepared by
the Advisor, would consist of a brochure describing the Advisor and its
Affiliates and the objectives of the Company and may also contain
pictures and summary descriptions of properties similar to those to be
acquired by the Company that Affiliates of the Company have previously
acquired. This material may also include pictures and summary
descriptions of properties similar to those to be acquired by the
Company, as well as a brochure, audio-visual materials and tape
presentations highlighting and explaining various features of the
Offering, properties of prior real estate programs and real estate
investments in general; and articles and publications concerning real
estate. Business reply cards, introductory letters and seminar
invitation forms may be sent to Soliciting Dealers (as hereinafter
defined) and prospective investors. These materials shall be
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "sales literature." No
person has been authorized to prepared for, or furnish to, a
prospective investor any sales literature other than: (i) that
described herein; and (ii) newspaper advertisements or solicitations 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 appropriate
regulatory agencies. Such clearance (if provided), however, does not
indicate that the regulatory agency allowing the use 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 literature will not conflict with
any of the information set forth in the Prospectus, the sales
literature will not purport to be complete, and should not be
considered as a part of the Prospectus, or as incorporated in the
Prospectus by reference, or as forming the basis of the Offering.
(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
4
<PAGE> 6
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 the 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 IREC" in the amount of $11 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 Subscription Agreement, 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 the Shares have been sold (exclusive of
the
5
<PAGE> 7
Company's distribution reinvestment program). 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. The
Company will promptly notify you or the Soliciting Dealer of any
rejection, 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 $.77) 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;
provided, however, that Soliciting Dealer Warrants will not be
issued and you will not transfer these warrants to Soliciting
Dealers in connection with the sale of Shares to residents of
the States of Minnesota, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas and provided further that the Company will not issue
more than 625,000 warrants in connection with the Offering of
the Shares. 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.
Investors purchasing at least $220,000 worth of
Shares (20,000 Shares) will be entitled to a reduction in
selling commissions in accordance with the following schedule:
6
<PAGE> 8
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Maximum
Commission
Amount of Purchaser's Investment Per Share
---------------------------------- -------------
From To
---- --
<S> <C> <C>
$ 220,000 $ 499,999 5.5%
500,000 999,999 4.0
1,000,000 1,999,999 2.5
2,000,000 and over 1.0
</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 the purchaser in
the form of additional whole or fractional Shares purchased
net of commissions.
Subscriptions for Shares in the Company may be
combined: (i) with subscriptions in this Offering or (ii) with
subscriptions from any of the Company's prior offerings, 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. Additionally, subscriptions of persons holding as
joint tenants or tenants in common may be combined for
purposes of computing amounts invested. Subscriptions from
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) All sales commissions payable to you will be
paid on a monthly basis, substantially concurrently with the
acceptance of a subscriber as a Stockholder by the Company, in
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:
(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
7
<PAGE> 9
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 in view of the requirements of the Act and the
Rules and Regulations in connection with the offer and sale of
the Shares during the Offering Period.
(b) SEC Orders. As soon as the Company is advised or 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
obtain the removal thereof as promptly as possible.
(c) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its best
efforts to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as you may reasonably
request and to make such applications, file such documents and furnish
such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose. The
Company will, at your request, furnish you copies of all material
documents and correspondence sent to or received from such
jurisdictions (including, but not limited to, summaries of telephone
calls and copies of telegrams) and will promptly advise you as soon as
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 order is issued, to obtain the removal
thereof as promptly as pos sible. The Company will furnish you with a
Blue Sky Survey dated as of the Effective Date, which will be
supplemented 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
8
<PAGE> 10
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 neces sary 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.
(h) Copies of Reports. The Company will use its best efforts
to furnish to you as promptly as shall be practicable the following:
(i) a copy of each report or general communication
(whether financial or otherwise) sent to the Stockholders;
(ii) a copy of each report (whether financial or
otherwise) filed with the Commission; and
(iii) such other information as you may from time to
time reasonably request regarding the financial condition and
operations of the Company including, but not limited to,
copies of operating statements of properties acquired by the
Company.
(i) Use of Proceeds. The Company will apply the proceeds 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.
9
<PAGE> 11
(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 investors resident in the States
of Mississippi or Ohio.
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 or they 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 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 initialed 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
10
<PAGE> 12
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
and tax advisors; 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
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,
inform ation 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
11
<PAGE> 13
(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;

similar expenses of your employees and personnel incurred in connection
with the Offering; and
(f) expenses of qualifying the Shares for offering 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
12
<PAGE> 14
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 Registration Statement shall have been issued and, to the best
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 reasonable opinion
of you or your counsel, contains any untrue statement of fact which is
material, or omits to state a fact which is material and is required to
be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.
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
13
<PAGE> 15
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.
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;
14
<PAGE> 16
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 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.
15
<PAGE> 17
8. Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by
you in the event that the Company shall have materially failed to comply with
any of the material provisions of this Agreement on its part to be performed at
or prior to the Effective Date or if any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements of the Company herein contained shall not have been
materially complied with or satisfied within the times specified.
In any case, this Agreement shall terminate at the close of business on
the Termination Date. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8
shall be without liability of any party to any other party other than as
provided in Sections 5 and 7 hereof which shall survive such termination.

INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
[FORM OF]
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 Real Estate Corporation,
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 up to 25,000,000 Shares at a price of $11 per Share on a "best
efforts" basis; up to 2,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Distribution
Reinvestment Program at a price of $10.45 per Share; up to 433,370 Shares
issuable on exercise of warrants issued in Prior Offerings; and 625,000 warrants
(and shares issuable on exercise of the warrants) which are issuable in certain
circumstances in connection with the sale of Shares (as defined in the
Prospectus) (the "Offering"). Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the same meaning as in the Registration Statement.
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 the 25,000,000 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 25,000,000 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
1
<PAGE> 3
either: (a) a minimum annual gross income of $45,000 and a 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.
If the investor is a resident of California, the investor must have
either: (i) a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of
$225,000; or (ii) a minimum annual gross income of $60,000 and a net worth
(exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $60,000.
If the investor is a resident of Maine, the investor must have either:
(i) a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $200,000;
or (ii) a minimum annual gross income of $50,000 and a net worth (exclusive of
home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $50,000.
If the investor is a resident of Massachusetts, the investor must have
either: (i) a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of
$225,000; or (ii) a minimum annual gross income of $60,000 and a net worth
(exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $60,000.
If the investor is a resident of Tennessee, the investor must have
either: (i) a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of
$225,000; or (ii) a minimum annual gross income of $60,000 and a net worth
(exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $60,000.
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 40 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 investors residing
in the States of Mississippi and Ohio; and (iv) to maintain in its files for at
least six years, documents disclosing the basis upon which the de termination 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") which warrants will be reallowed from the Dealer
Manager from the warrants issued to it by the Company. The Company will not
issue more than 625,000 of these warrants in connection with the Offering of the
Shares. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be issued quarterly commencing 60
days after the date on which Shares are first sold pursuant to the Offering. The
Dealer Manager will not transfer and the Company will not issue Soliciting
Dealer Warrants to Soliciting Dealers registered in Minnesota, Nebraska, South
Carolina, Tennessee or Texas in
2
<PAGE> 4
connection with the sale of Shares to residents of Minnesota, Nebraska, South
Carolina, Tennessee or Texas, respectively. All Shares sold by the Company,
other than through the Distribution Reinvestment Program except Shares sold to
residents of the above-referenced states, 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 $13.20 (120%) of the public
offering price per Share) during the time period beginning one year from the
date the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and ending April ___, 2003 (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.
Investors purchasing at least $220,000 worth of Shares (20,000 Shares)
will be entitled to a reduction in selling commissions in accordance with the
following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Amount of Maximum Commission
Purchaser's Investment Per Share
------------------------------- ------------------
From To
<S> <C> <C>
$ 220,000 $ 499,999 5.5%

2,000,000 and over 1.0
</TABLE>
Any reduction from the amount 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 for Shares in the Company may be combined: (i) with
subscriptions in this Offering or (ii) with subscriptions from any of the
Company's prior offerings, 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. Additionally,
subscriptions of persons holding as joint tenants or tenants in common may be
combined for purposes of computing amounts invested. Subscriptions from
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.
3
<PAGE> 5
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 spe cified 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 IREC" 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 60523, 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
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
4
<PAGE> 6
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 lia bility (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 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.

Form of Warrant Purchase Agreement
<PAGE> 2
INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
[FORM OF]
WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
April __, 1998
This Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is made by and
between Inland Real Estate Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
and Inland Securities Corporation, an Illinois corporation (the

The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell, and the Warrantholder
agrees to purchase, for the price of $.0008 per warrant, warrants as hereinafter
described (the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants") to purchase one share of the
Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares") for each 40 Shares sold by
the Dealer Manager and/or Soliciting Dealers, up to a maximum of 625,000
Soliciting Dealer Warrants. The price per Share at which the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants are exercisable and the number of Shares purchasable per Soliciting
Dealer Warrant are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof. The
Soliciting Dealer Warrants are being purchased in connection with a "best
efforts" offering of 25,000,000 Shares (the "Offering"), pursuant to that
certain Dealer Manager Agreement (the "Dealer Manager Agreement"), dated April
__, 1998 between the Company and the Warrantholder as the Dealer Manager and a
representative of the Soliciting Dealers who may receive warrants. Unless
otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as
in the Registration Statement on Form S-11.
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.
1
<PAGE> 3
(c) TRANSFER. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be
transferable only on the 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 (collectively a "Transfer") by the Warrantholder, except to: (i)
one or more persons, each of whom on the date of transfer is an officer and
director of the Warrantholder or an officer and director or partner of a
successor to the 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, a
"Soliciting Dealers Agreement" entered into with the Dealer Manager (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; provided that the Dealer Manager may not Transfer Soliciting
Dealer Warrants to members of the Selling Group in connection with the sale of
Shares to residents of the States of Minnesota, Nebraska, South Carolina,
Tennessee or Texas; (iv) a successor to a Warrantholder through merger or
consolidation; (v) a purchaser of all or substantially all of a Warrantholder's

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, 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

request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly
endorsed, the certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be so

properly endorsed, the certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to

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 canceled.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Dealer Manager will not transfer and the Company will not issue
Soliciting Dealer Warrants to Soliciting Dealers registered in Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee or Texas selling Shares to residents of
Minnesota, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee or Texas, respectively.
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 $13.20 (120% of the offering price per Share) during the time period
beginning one year from the date the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and
ending on April ___, 2003 (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 Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement, 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.

<PAGE> 5

exercisable, at the election of the Warrantholder, either in full or from time
to time in part and, in the event that 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, 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 SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
4
<PAGE> 6
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 $13.20 (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.
(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
5
<PAGE> 7
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 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.
6
<PAGE> 8
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 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 $11 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.

<PAGE> 9
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 certain Soliciting Dealer Warrants (and the Shares purchasable
thereunder) which were to be but have not been issued to the Warrantholder in
connection with Shares sold in the Prior Offerings. The Company undertakes to
make additional filings with the Commission to the extent required to keep the
Shares issuable pursuant to the Soliciting Dealer Warrants referenced in this

In the event of the filing of any registration statement with respect
to the Soliciting Dealer Warrants or the Shares pursuant to Section 11 above,

of Shares, as the case may be), shall agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
other to the same extent and in the same manner as provided in the Dealer
Manager Agreement.
13. CONTRIBUTION.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Act
in any case in which: (a) the Warrantholder or any holder of Shares makes a
claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12 hereof, but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right to appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section 12 hereof
provide for indemnification in such case; or (b) contribution under the Act may
be required on the part of the Warrantholder or any holder of Shares, the
Company and the Warrantholder, or such holder of Shares, shall agree to
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they
may be subject (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees),
in either such case (after contribution from others) on the basis of relative
fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations in the same manner
as provided by the parties in the Dealer Manager Agreement.
14. NOTICES.
Any notice given pursuant to this Agreement by the Company or by the
Warrantholder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if

expressed, any holder of Shares, any person controlling the Company or the
Warrantholder or any holder of Shares, directors of the Company, nominees for

benefit of the parties listed in Section 15 above shall bind and inure to the

OF
SECOND ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company"), a corporation organized
and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Maryland, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
FIRST: That on December 23, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company
duly adopted the following resolutions setting forth the proposed amendments to
the Company's Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as amended,
restating Section 6(a) and (b) amending Article V to include the definition of
"Prospectus", declaring the amendments to be advisable and directing that they
be submitted for action thereon by the stockholders of the Company. The
resolutions setting forth the proposed amendments are as follows:
RESOLVED, that Article VI, Section 6(a) and (b) of the Second Articles
of Amendment and Restatement, as amended, of this Company is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced in its entirety by the following:
(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 Law, to indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses
to any Director, the Advisor or its Affiliates and may so indemnify and
reimburse the reasonable expenses of any officer, employee or agent of the
Company (each an "Indemnified Party") provided, that: (i) the Indemnified
Party 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
Indemnified Party was acting on behalf of 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
wilful 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.
(b) The Company shall not indemnify any Director, officer, employee,
agent or 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 their 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.
<PAGE> 3
FURTHER RESOLVED, that Article V of the Second Articles of Amendment
and Restatement, as amended, of this Company is hereby amended to add the
following definition:
"Prospectus" means any document, notice, or other communication
satisfying the standards set forth in Section 10 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and contained in a currently effective registration
statement filed by the Company with, and declared effective by, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or if no registration statement is
currently effective, then the Prospectus contained in the most recently
effective registration statement.
SECOND: This amendment of the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement,
as amended, as hereinabove set forth has been duly advised by the Board of
Directors and approved by the Stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting
held on March 19, 1998 by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast thereon.

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

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

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

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

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
adjourn-
2
<PAGE> 4
ment, a new record date is fixed for the meeting, notice of the adjourned
meeting shall be given pursuant to Section 4 of this Article II.
Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the
board, or in his absence by the president, or in his absence by a vice
president, or in the 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
acquisition by any Existing Holder (as defined in the Amended Articles).
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
3
<PAGE> 5
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.
(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
4
<PAGE> 6
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 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
5
<PAGE> 7
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
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
6

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 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 board may deem advisable, from time to time, to act as transfer agents and
registrars of shares of the Company; and, when such appointments shall have
been made, no certificate for shares of the Company shall be valid until
countersigned by one of such transfer agents and registered by one of such
registrars.
SECTION 3. STOCKHOLDERS' ADDRESSES. Every stockholder or transferee
shall furnish the secretary or a transfer agent with the address to which

the Company is lost, stolen or destroyed, the board of directors, in its
discretion, or any transfer agent duly authorized by the board in its
discretion, may authorize the issue of a substitute certificate in place of the
certificate so lost, stolen or destroyed. The Company may require the owner of
the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or his legal representative to give
the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify the Company against any claim that
may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of
any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertified
shares.
SECTION 5. DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS. (a) To the extent permitted by
Maryland Law and subject to any restrictions contained in the Articles of
Incorporation, the directors may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of
the Company's capital stock in the manner and upon the terms and conditions
provided by Maryland Law and the Amended Articles.
(b) Before payment of any dividends, there may be set aside out of any
funds of the Company available for dividends such sum or sums as the board of
directors may from time to time, in its absolute discretion, a reserve fund for
contingencies, for equalizing dividends, for repairing or maintaining any
property of the Company or for such other purpose as the board of directors
shall determine to be in the best interest of the Company, and the board of
directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was
created.
SECTION 6. RECORD DATES. The board of directors may set, in advance, a
record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of
or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend
14
<PAGE> 16
or the allotment of any other rights, or in order to make a determination
of stockholders for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall
not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and
shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders,
not less than ten days, before the date on which the meeting or particular
action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be held or taken.
In lieu of fixing a record date, the board of directors may provide that
the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not longer
than 20 days. If the stock transfer books are closed for the purpose of
determining stockholders entitled to notice or of to vote at a meeting of
stockholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days before the date
of such meeting.
If no record date is fixed and the stock transfer books are not closed for
the determination of stockholders: (a) the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders
shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of meeting is
mailed or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the closer date to the
meeting; and (b) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive payment of a dividend or an allotment of any other rights shall be
the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the directors,
declaring the dividend or allotment of rights, is adopted.
When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 6, such determination
shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except where the determination has been
made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of closing
has expired.
SECTION 7. TRANSFERS OF SHARES. Shares of the Company may be transferred
by delivery of the certificates therefor, accompanied either by an assignment
in writing on the back of the certificates, or by written power of attorney to
sell, assign and transfer the same, signed by the record holder thereof; but no
transfer shall affect the right of the Company to pay any distribution upon the
shares to the holder of record thereof, or to treat the holder of record as the
holder in fact thereof for all purposes, and no transfer shall be valid, except
between the parties thereto, until such transfer shall have been made upon the
books of the Company.
SECTION 8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES ON OPEN MARKET. The Company may purchase
its shares on the open market and invest its assets in its own shares, provided
that in each case the consent of the board of directors shall have been
obtained.

**Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Section 1 amended and restated as of
March 31, 1998**
SECTION 1. INDEMNIFICATION. 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 Law, to indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses to any Director, the Advisor or its Affiliates and may so indemnify
and reimburse the reasonable expenses of any officer, employee or agent of the
Company (each an "Indemnified Party") provided, that: (i) the Indemnified
Party 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 Indemnified
Party was acting on behalf of 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 wilful 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 any Director, officer, employee, agent or
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
their 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
16
<PAGE> 18
applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such party is
found not to be entitled to indemnification.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption or
amendment of any other provision of the Bylaws or the Amended Articles of the
Company inconsistent with this Article VII, shall apply to or affect in any
respect the applicability of the preceding paragraph with respect to any act or
failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.
SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION INSURANCE. 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
provisions of this Article VII. 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.
ARTICLE VIII
SEAL
SECTION 1. SEAL. The board of directors may authorize the adoption of a
seal by the Company. The seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the
Company and the year of its organization. The board of directors may authorize
one or more duplicate seals and provide for the custody thereof.
SECTION 2. AFFIXING SEAL. Whenever the Company is required to place its
seal to a document, it shall be sufficient to meet the requirements of any law,
rule or regulation relating to a seal to place the word "(SEAL)" adjacent to
the signature of the person authorized to execute the document on behalf of the
Company.

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,
these Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new Bylaws, not
inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or the laws of
the State of Maryland or other applicable law, may be adopted at any properly
constituted meeting of the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the

requires greater than a majority vote of the Directors, any amendment with
respect to such matter must be approved by a vote of Directors equal to or

17
<PAGE> 19
provided, further, that no Bylaw adopted by the Stockholders may be altered,
amended or repealed by the Board of Directors if these Bylaws so restrict

Exhibit 8
Opinion of Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. as to tax matters
<PAGE> 2
April 2, 1998
Board of Directors
Inland Real Estate Corporation
2901 Butterfield Road
Oak Brook, Illinois 60523
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as your counsel in connection with the registration (the
"Registration") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") of
28,058,370 Shares, par value $.01 per share, of Inland Real Estate Corporation
(the "Company") 25,000,000 of which will be offered on a "best efforts" basis
and 2,000,000 of which will be offered through the Company's distribution
reinvestment program, up to 433,370 of which are issuable upon the exercise of
warrants granted in Prior Offerings, and warrants to purchase up to 625,000
shares, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. In connection
with the Registration we have been asked to provide opinions on certain federal
income tax matters related to the Company. The capitalized terms used in this
letter and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Prospectus of the Company included in the Company's Registration
Statement (No. 333-45233) on Form S-11, as amended (the "Registration
Statement"), filed by the Company under the Act with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined and relied upon
the following:
1. A copy of the Prospectus;
2. A copy of the Bylaws, as amended to date;
3. A copy of the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as
amended to date;
4. A copy of the Subscription Agreement;
5. The representation letter delivered to us by the Company;
6. Copies of the leases for the properties described in the
Prospectus as supplied to us by the Company;
7. Copies of the Federal income tax returns the Company filed for
the years ending December 31, 1995 and 1996;
8. Copies of the worksheets the Company prepared to monitor its
qualification with the REIT Requirements; and
9. Such other additional instruments and documents in connection
with the Company and such other persons as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of original
documents, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of signatures and the
capacity of each party executing a document to so act. For purposes of opinions
contained herein, we have assumed that:
(i) the documents shown to us are complete and no modifications to any
thereof exist;
(ii) the documents shown to us as certified or photostatic copies of
original documents conform to the original documents;
<PAGE> 3
(iii) the documents listed above that have been reviewed in proposed
form will be executed in substantially the form as the proposed documents that
we have reviewed; and
(iv) all of the representations and statements set forth in the
documents listed above, including without limitation, the factual assumptions
and representations of the Company set forth in the section of the Prospectus
entitled "Federal Income Tax Considerations" are true and correct, and that all
obligations imposed by any such documents on the parties thereto have been and
will be performed or satisfied in accordance with their terms.
Our opinions are based upon the facts described in the Prospectus and
upon facts as they have been represented to us or determined by us as of this
date. Any alterations of such facts may adversely affect our opinions. For
purposes of our opinions, we have relied upon the representations made by the
officers and directors of the Company as set forth in the Prospectus or
elsewhere. Further, our opinions are based upon existing statutory law and
currently applicable Treasury Department Regulations promulgated or proposed
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), current
published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") contained in Revenue Rulings and Revenue Procedures, and judicial
decisions, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or
retroactively, which changes could cause this opinion to no longer be valid.
We hereby confirm to you the opinions and statements attributed to us
in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Federal Income Tax Considerations,"
subject to all the statements, representations and assumptions accompanying such
opinions and statements. Please note that the Prospectus further states that the
Company's qualification and taxation as a REIT and its ability to maintain its
REIT status will depend upon its ability (based on its actual operating results)
to meet the REIT Requirements, and Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. will not review
compliance with the REIT Requirements on a continuing basis after the initial
effectiveness date of the Registration Statement or issue any opinions in the
future unless expressly requested to do so.
You should note that the opinions contained herein have no binding
effect or official status of any kind. Thus, in the absence of a ruling from the
Service, there can be no assurance that the Service will not challenge the
conclusions or propriety of any of our opinions, nor can there be absolute
assurance that if challenged, the Company will prevail on such issues if
challenged. In addition, the federal income tax laws are uncertain as to many of
the tax matters material to an investment in the Company and, therefore, it is
not possible to predict with certainty future legal developments, including how
courts will decide various issues if litigated. Accordingly, there can be no
absolute assurance of the outcome of the issues on which we are opining.
This opinion may not be relied upon by anyone other than the parties
set forth herein and may not be provided to any party other than those set forth
herein without the express written consent of the undersigned.
Very truly yours,
SHEFSKY & FROELICH LTD.
/s/ Shefsky & Froelich Ltd.
