(d)  Acquisition of Approved Qualified Assets.  Upon receipt of the written approval of a majority of the members of the Executive Committee as provided in Section 3.6(a) above of the acquisition by the Partnership of a Proposed Qualified Asset or Non-Parameter Asset (any Proposed Qualified Asset or Non-Parameter Asset so approved, an “Approved Qualified Asset”), LMLP GP or Asset Manager shall take all commercially reasonable efforts on behalf of the Partnership to negotiate and execute all documents necessary to acquire the Approved Qualified Asset pursuant to and in accordance with the terms approved by the Partners (including formation of an SP Subsidiary, if applicable) and to complete due diligence that the General Partner deems reasonably necessary, including (to the extent not already completed) obtaining an Environmental Assessment and a Physical Inspection Report.  LMLP GP or Asset Manager shall keep the Executive Committee reasonably informed of the progress of the Partnership’s acquisition of any Approved Qualified Asset, including the material findings of all due diligence and of any material matters that arise during the course thereof.  Upon completion of all due diligence undertaken as specified above with respect to an Approved Qualified Asset and as a condition to completing the acquisition of the Approved Qualified Asset, LMLP GP or Asset Manager shall deliver to the Executive Committee a memorandum summarizing the material findings of the completed due diligence and any changes in the status of such Approved Qualified Asset since the date of the Acquisition Memorandum described in Section 3.6(b) above and the Executive Committee, in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof, shall confirm its continuing approval of the acquisition before LMLP GP commits (on a nonrefundable basis) the Partnership’s funds as provided below.  Upon request by any member of the Executive Committee, LMLP GP or Asset Manager will provide to the Executive Committee copies of the Environmental Assessment, the Physical Inspection Report and the survey after completion thereof.
 
It is understood and agreed that (x) LMLP GP may deposit its own funds, or cause the Partnership to deposit Partnership funds, as refundable earnest money, and (y) the Partnership’s funds shall be substituted (and such funds reimbursed to LMLP GP) or committed, as the case may be, on a nonrefundable basis only after due diligence is completed and the Executive Committee has confirmed its continuing approval of the acquisition.  After the Partnership has committed its funds on a nonrefundable basis in accordance with the prior sentence, if the terms of the acquisition change in any material respect from the terms described in the Acquisition Memorandum, such change shall require the consent of a majority of the members of the Executive Committee.
 
An acquisition of a Approved Qualified Asset shall be made through SP Subsidiaries utilizing the SP Subsidiary Agreements.

Asset or to pay closing costs (including an estimate of costs not finalized at closing, including legal fees and costs) associated therewith.

(f)  Acquisition Costs.  Except as provided in this Section 3.6(f) and in Section 3.6(g) hereof, LMLP GP or the Asset Manager (as the case may be) shall be liable for all costs and expenses (“Acquisition Costs”) arising in connection with the identification or evaluation of, the bidding on and the structuring and negotiation of and contracting for the acquisition or attempted acquisition of, and the due diligence undertaken in connection with, any Proposed Qualified Asset or Approved Qualified Asset (such activities, the “Acquisition Activities”); provided that:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 3.9 hereof, if for any reason other than pursuant to Article XI hereof any LMLP Affiliated Party (instead of the Partnership or an SP Subsidiary) acquires title to any Proposed Qualified Asset or Approved Qualified Asset, LMLP shall pay all of the costs and expenses (and reimburse the Partnership for any refundable or nonrefundable deposits funded by the Partnership in connection with the acquisition of such asset) incurred or to be incurred in connection with the Acquisition Activities relating to such Proposed Qualified Asset or Approved Qualified Asset.
 
(g)  Acquisition Fee.  Upon the acquisition of any Approved Qualified Asset by the Partnership or by an SP Subsidiary (including any Approved Qualified Asset contributed in whole or in part by LMLP to the Partnership), pursuant to this Section 3.6, Inland shall pay LMLP GP or the Asset Manager an acquisition fee (the “Acquisition Fee”) equal to the sum of the gross purchase price of such acquired Approved Qualified Asset multiplied by 0.425%.
 
 
28

Section 3.7  Sale of Qualified Assets.
 
(a)  Authority to Sell.  Subject to Article XI, the General Partner shall have no authority to and shall not initiate the sale of any Qualified Asset without approval by the Executive Committee in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement.

37

Refi Assets and (y) the principal balance of any mortgage financing secured by the Qualified Refi Assets; and (ii) LMLP shall make an attendant Initial Capital Contribution in a combination of cash and Contributed Assets in an amount equal to the product of 0.15 multiplied by the sum of the aggregate Purchase Price (as adjusted in the Contribution Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Letter Agreement) of the Qualified Refi Assets less the principal balance of any mortgage financing secured by the Qualified Refi Assets.
 
Subject to the Contribution Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Letter Agreement, the Qualified Assumed Assets shall be acquired by the Partnership, from time to time, prior to March 1, 2008.  Simultaneously with the acquisition of a Qualified Assumed Asset, (i) Inland shall make an attendant Initial Capital Contribution in cash in an amount equal to the product of 0.85 multiplied by the difference between (x) the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Letter Agreement) of such Qualified Assumed Asset and (y) the principal balance of any mortgage financing secured by such Qualified Assumed Asset and the amount of Preferred Equity allocated to such Qualified Assumed Asset; and (i) LMLP shall make an attendant Initial Capital Contribution in cash in an amount equal to the product of 0.15 multiplied by the difference between the Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Letter Agreement) of such Qualified Assumed Asset less the principal balance of any mortgage financing secured by such Qualified Assumed Asset and the amount of Preferred Equity allocated to such Qualified Assumed Asset.
 
In the event that the Qualified Refi Assets have been acquired by the Partnership and LMLP has made a Capital Contribution in excess of 15% of the aggregated Capital Contributions of the Partners, then the General Partner shall cause the amount of LMLP's Capital Contribution that is in excess of 15% of the aggregate Capital Contributions of the Partner’s to accrue and be reserved on the Partnership books as a credit toward satisfying LMLP's share of any future Capital Call and such credit shall be treated as if it were an actual capital contribution for purposes of determining corresponding allocations and distributions.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if (i) the acquisition of the Qualified Refi Assets does not take place prior to March 1, 2008, then the Partnership shall not be required to acquire any assets hereunder whatsoever and, at the election of any Partner the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance with Article IX of hereof, or (ii) the weighted average interest rate on the mortgage financing to be secured by the Qualified Refi Assets is greater than 7.00% or is less than 6.00%, then the Partnership shall not be required to acquire any assets hereunder whatsoever and, at the election of any Partner, the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance with Article IX hereof.  No Qualified Assumed Asset shall be acquired by the Partnership (i) unless and until the Partnership has acquired all of the Qualified Refi Assets in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and the Contribution Agreement or (ii) after March 1, 2008.

therewith; provided that (x) each Partner shall be required to contribute the amount determined by multiplying such Partner’s Percentage Interest by the amount of such Additional Capital Contribution and (y) no Partner shall be required to contribute the amount described in clause (x) above if such amount, when added to the total of all of such Partner’s prior Capital Contributions, exceeds such Partner’s Capital Commitment.  If the General Partner shall provide to the Partners a written notice calling for an Additional Capital Contribution (any such notice, a “Capital Call”) setting forth the total amount of such Additional Capital Contribution, the amount of each Partner’s share of such Additional Capital Contribution as determined pursuant to clause (x) above and the due date on which the General Partner is requiring that such Additional Capital Contribution be contributed to the Partnership, which due date shall be at least ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Partners actually received the Capital Call and not more than one (1) Business Day prior to the scheduled closing of the acquisition of such Approved Qualified Asset; each Partner shall contribute its share of such Additional Capital Contribution in immediately available funds on or before such due date.  If the acquisition of an Approved Qualified Asset fails to close and the General Partner determines there will not be a closing within fifteen (15) days of the date of the originally scheduled closing, the General Partner (x) shall inform the Partners of such failure and return each Partner’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution made with respect thereto and (y) each Partner’s Capital Contribution shall be restored to the level thereof immediately prior to such Additional Capital Contribution.  If, at any time after the Partners have each contributed their entire Capital Commitment, the Partners elect to contribute additional capital, the Partners shall contribute such additional capital in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
 
(c)  Extraordinary Fundings.  In the event the Partnership requires additional funds to cover any costs and expenses for which the Partnership has insufficient funds, including tenant improvements and capital expenditures, the General Partner may make a written request therefor (any such request, an “Extraordinary Call”) setting forth the amount requested and the due date therefor, which due date shall be at least ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Partners actually received the Extraordinary Call; provided that (i) any amount requested shall not exceed 5% of the Purchase Price of the Qualified Asset if such funds are to be used for a specific Qualified Asset or (ii) the aggregate of all amounts requested shall not exceed $20,000,000 if such funds are to be used for the Partnership generally (such amount, the “Extraordinary Call Cap”); provided further that no Partner shall be required to contribute any capital to the Partnership in excess of such Partner’s Capital Commitment.  Each Partner shall be required to fund an amount equal to the amount determined by multiplying such Partner’s Percentage Interest by the amount set forth in such approved Extraordinary Call (each such Extraordinary Call required to be funded hereunder, an “Extraordinary Funding”).  Each Extraordinary Funding shall be made as a supplementary capital contribution by the Partners to the Partnership (any such contribution, an “Extraordinary Capital Contribution”). Each Partner shall contribute its share of such Extraordinary Capital Contribution in immediately available funds on or before the due date in the Extraordinary Call.
 
(d)  Failure to Fund an Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding.  If any Partner (a “Defaulting Partner”) fails to make any Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding which it is required to make under this Section 5.1 by the due date therefor, then any non-defaulting Partner shall not be permitted to make such Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding, but may, at its election,
 
 
39

 
make a loan to the Partnership (a “Priority Loan”) in an amount equal to the amount that Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding required.  Upon election to make a Priority Loan, (i) the non-defaulting Partner shall loan to the Partnership the amount of the Defaulting Partner’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Funding, as the case may be, as determined in accordance with Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c), as the case may be, (ii) such Priority Loan shall bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum cumulative compounded from the date such Priority Loan is made, (iii) the Annual Budget portion of the Annual Plan shall be amended to reflect such Priority Loan, and (iv) such Priority Loan (including interest accrued thereon) shall be repaid from Net Cash Flow from Operations or Net Cash from Sales or Refinancing prior to any distribution.
 
Section 5.2  Preferred Equity Capital Contribution.  Upon the acquisition of a Preferred Equity Asset, LMLP shall make a Preferred Equity Capital Contribution in the amount determined by LMLP; subject to Section 3.8(a) hereof; provided that the aggregate Preferred Equity Capital Contribution shall not exceed $25,000,000.  The General Partner shall update Schedule 5.2 hereto to reflect the Preferred Equity Capital Contribution and any repayment of Preferred Equity pursuant to Section 3.3(b) or Section 7.1 hereof.  
 
Section 5.3  Return of Capital Contribution.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) the Capital Contribution of a Partner will be returned to that Partner only in the manner and to the extent provided in Article VII and Article IX hereof and (b) no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution.  In the event the Partnership is required or compelled to return any Capital Contribution, no Partner shall have the right to receive assets other than cash.  No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or Capital Account notwithstanding any disproportion therein as between the Partners.
 
Section 5.4  Liability of the Limited Partners.  No Limited Partner shall have any personal liability to the Partnership, to any Partner, to the creditors of the Partnership or to any other Person for any debt, liability or obligation of the Partnership.  No Limited Partner shall be required to contribute funds or capital to the Partnership in excess of its Capital Commitment although Limited Partners may at their option contribute funds in excess of their respective Capital Commitments pursuant to Section 5.1(c) and Section 5.1(d) hereof.
 
Section 5.5  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  The foregoing provisions of this Article V are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor of the Partnership or any other Person, and no creditor of the Partnership or any other Person may rely on the commitment of any Partner to make any Capital Contribution.  Additional Capital Contributions and Extraordinary Fundings are not payable unless and until the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof have been satisfied, and no creditor of the Partnership or any other Person shall have, or be given, any right to cause a Capital Call or Extraordinary Call to be given by the General Partner.

(e)  Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss.  To the extent any allocation of Losses or other items of loss or deduction would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Partner, such allocation shall be reallocated among the other Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations hereof.

(f)  Curative Allocation.  The allocations set forth in this Section 6.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the applicable Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other operating Profits, Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to the Partners for Capital Account purposes so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits, Losses and other items shall be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
 
Section 6.4  Allocation of Tax Items for Tax Purposes.
 
(a)  Generally.  Subject to Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations and except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local tax purposes shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner and amounts as the book items corresponding to such tax items are allocated for Capital Account purposes.
 
(b)  Recapture Income.  Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a) hereof, if there is a gain on any sale, exchange or other disposition of Partnership assets and all or a portion of such gain is characterized as ordinary income by virtue of the recapture rules of Code Section 1245 or 1250, or under the corresponding recapture rules of state or local income tax law, as the case may be, then, to the extent possible, such recapture income for United States and state and local tax purposes shall be allocated to the Partners in the ratio that they were allocated Tax Depreciation previously taken and allowed with respect to the Partnership assets being sold or otherwise disposed of.
 
(c)  Section 754 Adjustments.  Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a) hereof, any increase or decrease in the amount of any items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for tax purposes attributable to an adjustment to the basis of Partnership assets made pursuant to a valid election or deemed election under Sections 732(d), 734, 743, and 754 of the Code, and any increase or decrease in the amount of any item of credit or tax preference attributable to any such adjustment, shall be allocated to those Partners entitled thereto under such law.  Such items shall be excluded in determining the Capital Accounts of the Partners, except as otherwise provided by Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations.
 
(d)  Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any “Nonrecourse Deductions” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(c) for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated as items of loss in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(1)(ii).  Depreciation deductions shall be treated as Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a property only to the extent that such deductions reduce the property’s tax basis below the amount of the Nonrecourse Liability encumbering the property.
 
(e)  Sharing of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities.  For purposes of Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership shall be allocated one hundred (100%) percent to LMLP.  In the event it is determined that Inland would be allocated less than its proportionate share of depreciation in any year as a result
 
 
44

 
of the allocation of liabilities to LMLP, the Partners agree to reallocate the liabilities in accordance with Percentage Interests.
 
(f)  Section 704(c).  Notwithstanding Section 6.4 hereof, if the Partnership owns or acquires Section 704(c) Property, or if the Tax Matters Partner makes an election referred to in the definition of “Book Value” herein, then, solely for tax purposes and not for Capital Account purposes, Tax Depreciation, and any gain or loss, attributable to such Section 704(c) Property shall be allocated between or among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the variation between such Book Value and such adjusted tax basis, using the traditional method of allocation, in accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder and such method set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).
 
Section 6.5  Tax Matters Partner.  The General Partner is hereby designated as the “tax matters partner” for the Partnership as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Partner”), and all federal, state and local tax audits and litigation shall be conducted under the direction of the General Partner.  All expenses incurred with respect to any tax matter which does or may affect the Partnership, including but not limited to expenses incurred in connection with Partnership level administrative or judicial tax proceedings, shall be paid out of Partnership assets, whether or not included in an Annual Plan.  The Tax Matters Partner shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, forward to each Partner a copy of any correspondence relating to the Partnership received from the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority which relates to matters that are of material importance to the Partnership and/or the Partners.  The Tax Matters Partner shall promptly advise each Partner in writing of the substance of any material conversation held with any representative of the Internal Revenue Service which relates to an audit or administrative proceeding relating to a tax return of the Partnership.  
 
Section 6.6  Adjustments.
 
(a)  Generally.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, as the case may be, for the year.
 
(b)  Upon Transfer or Change in Percentage Interest.   If any Percentage Interest is transferred in any fiscal year in accordance with this Agreement, or if a Partner’s Percentage Interest changes during any fiscal year, all Profits and Losses attributable to such Percentage Interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated in accordance with an interim closing of the books as of the date of a transfer or change.
 
(c)  Amendments to this Article VI.  The General Partner is specifically authorized by each Partner, upon the advice of the accountants or legal counsel for the Partnership, to amend this Article VI to comply with any Regulations with respect to the distributions and allocations of the Partnership and any such amendment shall become effective; provided, however, that if such amendment constitutes a Material Modification for any Partner,
 
45

 
then such amendment shall become effective only upon the express written consent of such Partner.

SPECIAL PARTNER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
 
Section 11.1  Right of First Offer.  
 
(a)  At any time after the Rights Trigger Date, if either Inland or LMLP (except if the Rights Trigger Date occurs because of an Event of Default by an LMLP Partner) wishes to sell their Percentage Interest or cause the Partnership to sell any Qualified Asset (for the purposes of this section, such selling Partner, the “ROFO Offering Partner”), the ROFO Offering Partner shall deliver a written notice (a “ROFO Notice”) to the Other Partner (the “ROFO Responding Partner)”) specifying to the ROFO Responding Partner in writing the terms and conditions (the “ROFO Terms”) and the price (the “ROFOOffer Price”) at which the ROFO Offering Partner would be willing to sell their entire Percentage Interest or the ROFO Offering Partner would be willing to permit the Partnership to sell any of the Qualifying Assets, as the case may be, to the ROFO Responding Partner.  Any ROFO Notice shall reference the invocation of this Section 11.1 and shall constitute an irrevocable offer from the ROFO Offering Partner to the ROFO Responding Partner to sell its entire Percentage Interest or permit the sale by the Partnership of the stated Qualifying Assets, as the case may be, at the ROFO Offer Price. If the ROFO Responding Partner does not elect to buy the ROFO Offering Partner’s entire Percentage Interest or the stated Qualifying Assets, as the case may be, within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the ROFO Notice by delivering an election notice to the ROFO Offering Partner (the “ROFO Response Notice”), subject to Sections 11.1(b) and (c), the ROFO Offering Partner shall be permitted to sell their entire Percentage Interest or the stated Qualifying Assets on behalf of the Partnership, as the case may be, to a bona fide third party pursuant to an arm’s length transaction on terms not more favorable to such bona fide third party than the ROFO Terms and for an amount equal to or greater than the ROFO Offer Price (the “Required Third Party Price and Terms”).  In the event the ROFO Responding Partner fails to timely deliver a ROFO Response Notice, subject to Sections 11.1(b) and (c), the ROFO Offering
 
 
54

 
Partner shall be permitted to sell its entire Percentage Interest or any of the Qualifying Assets on behalf of the Partnership, as the case may be, for the Required Third Party Price and Terms.

In the event the ROFO Offering Partner fails to consummate the sale of its entire Percentage Interest or the stated Qualifying Assets on behalf of the Partnership, as the case may be, for the Required Third Party Price prior to the expiration of the Third Party Sale Period, the ROFO Offering Partner’s right to sell its entire Percentage Interest or the stated Qualifying Assets on behalf of the Partnership, as the case may be, to a bona fide third party will be revoked until such time as the ROFO Offering Partner has repeated the process set forth in Section 11.1(a) and provided the ROFO Responding Partner with the right to make its election pursuant to Section 11.1(a) above.

(a)  Generally.  After the Rights Trigger Date, Inland or LMLP (except if the Rights Trigger Date occurs because of an Event of Default by an LMLP Partner), as specified therein (the “Buy/Sell Offering Partner”), may provide the Other Partner (the “Buy/Sell Responding Partner”) with notice (the “Buy/Sell Notice”) of a price (the “Buy/Sell Offer Price”) that the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), is willing to pay to purchase (A) those Qualified Assets which the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), desire to purchase if the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), desire to purchase less than all of the Qualified Assets from the Partnership, or (B) all of the Qualified Assets if the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), desire to purchase all of the Qualified Assets (provided that an offer to purchase all of the Qualified Assets shall be implemented as a purchase by the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), of the Percentage Interests of the Buy/Sell Responding Partner) (such Qualified Assets or such Percentage Interests, as the case may be, the “Buy/Sell Asset”).  The Buy/Sell Notice shall include, as an attachment thereto, a bona fide proposed purchase and sale agreement on terms reasonably customary for the sale of real estate assets or for the sale of partnership interests in a limited partnership that owns primarily real estate assets (the “Offered Agreement”).  Upon receipt of the Buy/Sell Notice, the Buy/Sell Responding Partner shall have forty-five (45) days to provide to the Buy/Sell Offering Partner a notice (the “Buy/Sell Response Notice”) specifying the Buy/Sell Responding Partner’s election either, (i) if the Buy/Sell Asset comprises less than all of the Qualified Assets, to cause the Partnership to sell the Buy/Sell Asset to the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), at the Buy/Sell Offer Price pursuant to the Offered Agreement or (y) to purchase (or have a designated Affiliate(s) purchase) the Buy/Sell Asset from the Partnership for a purchase price equal to the Buy/Sell Offer Price and on substantially the same terms and conditions as provided in the Offered Agreement, or,
 
 
55

 
(ii) if the Buy/Sell Asset comprises all of the Qualified Assets, purchase the Percentage Interest of the Buy/Sell Offering Partner or sell its Percentage Interest to the Buy/Sell Offering Partner, or its designated Affiliate(s), for a purchase price equal to the amount the Buy/Sell Responding Partner would receive under Section 9.2 hereof if the Partnership assets were sold at the Buy/Sell Offer Price and the Partnership were liquidated and dissolved (the “Buy/Sell Responding Interest Price”) and on substantially the same terms and conditions as provided in the Offered Agreement.  Any Buy/Sell Notice made with respect to all of the Qualified Assets in connection with an Event of Default shall supersede and render of no further effect any Buy/Sell Notice or ROFO Notice (x) made with respect to less than all of the Qualified Assets and (y) to which no Buy/Sell Response Notice or ROFO Response Notice, as the case may be, has been provided to the Buy/Sell Offering Partner or ROFO Offering Partner, as the case may be.
 
(b)  Buy/Sell Responding Partner’s Election to Purchase.  If the Responding Partner timely delivers a Buy/Sell Response Notice that specifies the Buy/Sell Responding Partner’s election to purchase the Buy/Sell Asset, as described in Section 11.2(a) above, then the Buy/Sell Responding Partner shall have up to seventy-five (75) days from the date of the delivery of the Buy/Sell Response Notice to close the purchase of the Buy/Sell Asset on substantially the same terms and conditions as contained in the Offered Agreement.
 
(c)  Buy/Sell Responding Partner’s Election not to Purchase.  If the Buy/Sell Responding Partner timely delivers a Buy/Sell Response Notice that specifies the Buy/Sell Responding Partner’s election not to purchase the Buy/Sell Asset, or if the Buy/Sell Responding Partner fails to deliver a timely Buy/Sell Response Notice, then (i) if the Buy/Sell Asset comprises less than all of the Qualified Assets, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to proceed to close the acquisition of the Buy/Sell Asset at the Buy/Sell Offer Price in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offered Agreement, provided, however, that such closing must take place within the seventy-five (75) day period beginning on the date of delivery of the Buy/Sell Response Notice, or, (ii) if the Buy/Sell Asset comprises all of the Qualified Assets, the Buy/Sell Offering Partner shall purchase the Percentage Interests of the Buy/Sell Responding Partner within the seventy-five (75) day period described in clause (i) above, for the Buy/Sell Responding Interest Price.  In determining the amount of the Buy/Sell Responding Interest Price, it will be assumed that no reserves will be required pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof.
 
Section 11.3  Provisions Applicable to Right of First Offer and Buy/Sell
 
(a)  The Purchasing Partner shall deliver to a mutually acceptable escrow agent a non-refundable cash deposit within forty-five (45) days of the Responding Partner’s actual or deemed notice in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the Offer Price, as applicable, or (ii) $1,000,000 (the “Deposit”) to secure the Purchasing Partner’s obligations hereunder.
 
(b)  Closing of any transfer pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 above (“Closing”) shall occur on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the escrow agent's receipt of the Purchasing Partner’s deposit as contemplated by Section 11.3(b) above (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Closing Date”), at
 
 
56

 
the principal place of business of the Partnership, or at such other time and place as may be mutually agreed upon by the Purchasing Partner and the Selling Partner, and (unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchasing Partner and the Selling Partner) shall be on a cash basis.  At such Closing: (i) the Selling Partner shall convey all of its Percentage Interest in the Partnership, and, if applicable, all of their debt claims against the Partnership, and warrant that such interests and claims are free of all adverse claims and encumbrances (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Purchasing Partner and the Selling Partner); (ii) the Purchasing Partner shall pay the Selling Partner the Offer Price, less a credit for the Deposit (which shall be delivered by the escrow agent to the Selling Partner and the amount thereof credited against the Offer Price), and as adjusted by customary closing prorations and customary closing costs, in cash; and (iii) the Selling Partner, the Purchasing Partner and the Partnership shall execute and deliver such other documents as may be appropriate to effect, evidence and perfect the transaction.
 
(c)  Should the Purchasing Partner fail to close the transactions elected pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 above prior to the Closing Date, the Selling Partner, as its exclusive remedies in the circumstances, (i) shall be entitled to receive from the escrow agent, as liquidated damages for such failure, the Deposit deposited pursuant to Section 11.3(b) of this Agreement, (ii) shall have the right for a period of twelve (12) months after the scheduled Closing Date (the “Default Sale Period”) to acquire the Purchasing Partner’s Percentage Interest or interest in the stated Qualified Assets, as the case may be, for 95% of the Offer Price, and (iii) the Purchasing Partner’s rights pursuant to Section 11.1 and 11.2 hereof shall be suspended for a period of twelve (12) months after the scheduled Closing Date.
 
(d)  In connection with a transfer pursuant to Sections 11.1 or 11.2, the Purchasing Partner may designate an Affiliate or Affiliates to acquire the Selling Partner’s Percentage Interests or interests in the stated Qualified Assets, as the case may be, in which event such Affiliate(s) shall acquire such Percentage Interest or interests in the stated Qualified Assets, as the case may be, but no such designation or acquisition shall relieve the Purchasing Partner (as determined without regard to this Section 11.3(e)) from any obligation under this Article XI.
 
(e)  Each of Inland and LMLP shall have the right to exercise either the Right of First Offer pursuant to Section 11.1 above or the Buy/Sell pursuant to Section 11.2 above (such Partner being the “Initiating Partner”); provided, however, that upon any Initiating Partner’s exercise of either of these provisions, the Other Partner may not again trigger the provisions of either Section 11.1 or 11.2 until the termination of all procedures and timeframes pursuant to the Initiating Partner’s chosen provision.
 
(f)  As a condition to any transfer by either Inland or LMLP of its Percentage Interest or the stated Qualified Assets by the Partnership, as the case may be, pursuant to either
 
 
57

 
Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 of this Agreement, the Selling Partner must be released at the closing from any indemnities, guaranties or other credit enhancements granted by such Selling Partner on behalf of the Partnership to any third party relating to the interest being transferred.
 
(g)  As a condition to any transfer by Inland of its Percentage Interest or the stated Qualified Assets by the Partnership, as the case may be, pursuant to either Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 of this Agreement, any Preferred Equity relating to the property that is the subject of the transfer, together with accrued and unpaid Preferred Equity Return, shall be distributed to LMLP.
 
(h)  If either Inland or LMLP initiates a legal action with respect to any exercise of the other Partner’s rights under this Article XI, the losing Partner shall pay all attorneys’ fees and court costs arising in connection with such legal action.
 
(i)  Each Partner shall bear its own costs, such as due diligence expenses and consultants’ and attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with its exercise of, or response to, any rights under this Article XI.
 
ARTICLE XII

(b)  Manner of Notice.  All notices, demands, approvals, consents and requests to be sent to the Partnership or any Partner pursuant to the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been properly given or served, if personally delivered, sent by recognized messenger or next day courier service, or sent by United States mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the addresses or facsimile numbers listed below, and will be deemed received, unless earlier received:  (a) if sent by express, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, when actually received or delivery refused; (b) if sent by messenger or courier, when actually received; (c) if sent by telex or facsimile transmission, on the date sent, so long as a confirming notice is sent by messenger or courier or by express, certified, registered, or first-class mail; (d) if delivered by hand, on the date of delivery; and (e) if sent by first-class mail, seven days after it was mailed.  Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand or request sent.

Section 12.2  Governing Laws.  This Agreement and the obligations of the Partners hereunder shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its choice of law provisions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of the Partners and the administration and termination of the Partnership shall be governed by the Act.
 
Section 12.3  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) contains the entire agreement between the parties, supercedes any prior agreements or understandings between them and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than pursuant to Section 12.12 hereof.
 
Section 12.4  Waiver.  No consent or waiver, express or implied, by any Partner to or of any breach or default by any other Partner in the performance by the other Partner of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Partner of the same or any other obligations of such other Partner hereunder.  Failure on the part of any Partner to complain of any act or failure to act of any of the other Partners or to declare any of the other Partners in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such
 
 
 
59

 
Partner of its rights hereunder.  No custom, practice or course of dealings arising among the Partners in the administration hereof shall be construed as a waiver or diminution of the right of any Partner to insist upon the strict performance by any other Partner of the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions herein contained.
 
Section 12.5  Validity.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provisions to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Section 12.7  Remedies Not Exclusive.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies of the Partnership and of the Partners hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, i.e., the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other provisions hereof.  Each of the Partners confirms that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, the respective rights and obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or other equitable remedy but nothing herein contained is intended to, nor shall it, limit or affect any rights or rights at law or by statute or otherwise of any party aggrieved as against the other for breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the intention by this section to make clear the agreement of the Partners that the respective rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise.

61

 
brought in an inconvenient forum or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other action, suit or other legal proceeding in a court or forum other than any such court.
 
Section 12.18  Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
 
Section 12.19  REIT Provisions.
 
(a)  The General Partner and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to operate as if it were subject to the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) rules of the Code described below, except as otherwise permitted by prior written consent of the Partners:
 
(i)  the "75 percent gross income test" set forth in Section 856(c)(3) of the Code and the "95 percent gross income test" set forth in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code; and
 
(ii)   the gross assets tests set forth in Section 856(c) of the Code: (A) the "75 percent asset test" set forth in Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code, (B) the "25 percent asset test" set forth in Section 856(c)(4)(B)(i) of the Code, (C) the "20 percent value limitation" set forth in Section 856(c)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code, (D) the "5 percent value limitation" set forth in Section 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(I) of the Code and (E) the "10 percent vote and value limitations" set forth in Sections 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(II) and (III) of the Code.
 
For purposes of the foregoing tests, any ”mezzanine” loans secured by an equity interest in an entity and any interest therefrom shall not be treated as satisfying such tests unless such loans and interest are in substantial compliance with the requirements of Revenue Procedure 2003-65, except as otherwise permitted by prior written consent of the Partners.
 
(b)  The General Partner and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership not to dispose of any real property in a transaction that would be treated as a "prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code, unless (i) the transaction qualifies for the safe harbor, set forth in Section 857(b)(6)(C) of the Code, applied to the Partnership as if the Partnership were subject to Section 857(b)(6), taking into account any other “safe harbor” transactions engaged in by the respective Partner in determining whether seven sales has occurred during the year, including any such transactions engaged in by a joint venture, partnership or limited liability company in which such Partner invests (which information such Partner will provide to the General Partner and Partnership upon written request), (ii) the transaction is required under this Agreement, (iii) the property is disposed of in connection with or in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) the property is transferred in a tax free exchange under the Code, (v) the Partners consent or (vi) the Executive Committee approves such transaction by a Supermajority Vote.
 
62

 
 
(c)  The General Partner and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to make distributions to the Partners in compliance with the “90% distribution requirement” of Section 857(a)(1) of the Code, provided that the General Partner and the Partnership shall not be in violation of this Section 12.19(c) if:
 
(i)   the Partnership makes the distributions required by Articles 7 and 9 of this Agreement, and
 
(ii)   if the distributions required by Articles 7 and 9 of this Agreement are insufficient to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, the General Partner and Partnership shall
 
(A)   notify the Partners of the insufficiency,
 
(B)  (B) notify the Partners of whether the Partnership is fully leveraged to the extent permitted by the debt and preferred equity ratio set forth in Section 3.8(a) of the Agreement (75%), and
 
(C)  (C) (1) if the Partnership’s debt and preferred equity ratio is below the permitted threshold (75%), the General Partner shall not be required to incur debt to make additional distributions unless a Partner requests it, in which case the General Partner and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to incur additional debt on commercially reasonable terms in order to make such additional distributions to the requesting Partner and (2) if the Partnership’s debt and preferred equity ratio is at the maximum permitted (75%), the General Partner shall not be required to incur debt to make additional distributions unless both LMLP and Inland consent, in which case the General Partner and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to incur additional debt on commercially reasonable terms in order to make such additional distributions to both Partners.
 
If an amount otherwise available for distribution pursuant to Article 7 of the Agreement is used to acquire an Approved Qualified Asset or fund a capital expenditure approved by a Supermajority Vote of the Executive Committee or consented to by the distributee Partner, such Partner’s share of such distribution shall be treated as distributed to the Partner for purposes of satisfying this Section 12.19(c).
 
(d)  Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner and the Partnership shall take such other reasonable steps as shall be requested in writing in good faith by each Partner and its ultimate Parent entity (Inland Real Estate Trust, Inc. in the case of Inland and Lexington Realty Trust in the case of LMLP), which the requesting Partner and Parent believe in good faith is necessary in order for the Parent (and, in the case of LMLP, LMLP) to continue to qualify as a REIT (determined assuming that, without regard to its investment in the Partnership, such ultimate Parent entity (or LMLP) otherwise would qualify as a REIT) and no other reasonable steps or action could be taken by the requesting Partner or Parent (in lieu of the Partnership taking any requested steps) to enable the Parent to so qualify.
 
(e)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the General Partner or Partnership have any liability to a Partner or
 
 
63

 
Affiliate with respect to its failure to qualify as a REIT so long as the General Partner and Partnership have acted in good faith and used commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the obligations set forth in this Section 12.19.

SCHEDULE 4.7
 
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
 
EXHIBIT C
 
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
 
The Partnership shall, at a minimum, obtain and maintain, and/or cause the SP Subsidiaries to obtain and maintain, without interruption, the insurance coverages stipulated hereunder for the benefit of the Partnership and each Partner thereof, but only to the extent of such party’s interest in each Qualified Asset:
 
(a)  Property and Related Insurance.
 
(i)  Qualified Assets.  At all times following commencement of construction of any above-ground improvements thereon, each Qualified Asset shall be insured on a 100% Full Replacement Cost basis.  Full Replacement Cost is defined as the cost of replacing the improvements, together with appurtenances and betterments in compliance with prevailing building codes, without deduction for physical depreciation thereof, at the time of replacement of the Qualified Asset, following a loss.  The value so determined shall be binding and conclusive.  The policy shall further provide that, in the event of a total or constructive total loss, the Partnership or SP Subsidiary shall not be unreasonably restricted from applying the proceeds to the re-building of the improvements at such other location as the Partnership shall elect.  At all times following commencement of construction of any vertical improvements thereon, Qualified Assets shall be insured against physical loss or damage by fire, lightning and other risks and supplementary perils from time to time included under Special Form policies including, vandalism and malicious mischief (with agreed amount endorsements), windstorm, earthquake, and certified and non-certified acts of terrorism.  The policy shall be endorsed to provide coverage for demolition and increased cost of construction to conform to local ordinance, and will include “extra expense” and “expediting expense” coverage.
 
(ii)  Rent Loss/Business Interruption.  The Partnership shall maintain, after substantial completion of any above-ground improvements, rent loss/business interruption insurance sufficient to prevent the Partnership or the SP Subsidiary from being a coinsurer under the terms of the policy, and in an amount equal to twelve months’ projected gross income from the Qualified Asset.  The policy must contain an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the loss to the Improvements and personal property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until the earlier of such time that such income returns to the same level it was prior to the loss or the expiration of six (6) months from the date of restoration.  This requirement shall apply in the event the Partnership, by upon approval of the Executive Committee by a Supermajority vote,, has elected to offer all or any portion of the Qualified Asset for rent pursuant to leases or other occupancy agreements.
 
(iii)  Boiler and Machinery.  The Partnership or the SP Subsidiary shall maintain, after substantial completion of any above-ground improvements, boiler and machinery insurance covering physical damage to the Qualified Asset and to the major components of any central heating, air conditioning or ventilation systems, and such other equipment as is usual for similar properties in the area.  The policy shall include coverage for business interruption, including expediting and extra expense, in an amount not less than $500,000.  Unless the insurance required in subsections (a) (i), (iii) and (iv) is provided on the same policy or by the same insurance carrier, a Joint Loss Agreement between separate primary policies will be required.
 
 
Schedule 4.7-1

 
 
(iv)  Builder’s Risk.  During the period of any construction, repair, renovation, restoration or replacement of the improvements or the Qualified Asset, the Partnership shall obtain and maintain or cause to be obtained and maintained a completed value “All Risk” Builder’s Risk policy in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost of the Qualified Asset.  Coverage should include, but not be limited to, collapse, soft costs, transit, earthquake, flood, windstorm, terrorism, off-site storage, expediting expenses, demolition and increased cost of construction (for renovation and/or additions to existing structures), water damage, permission for partial occupancy, and automatic reinstatement.  The policy is to be in an amount not less than the total value of the Qualified Asset (less the value of such uninsurable items as land, site preparation, grading, paving, parking lots).  The coverage may be provided as an extension to the property policy in force if the requirements herein are satisfied, subject to approval by the Partners of the Partnership.  The Partnership shall cause the contracts with any contractors to provide that (i) such contractor will be responsible for claims arising out of such contractor’s negligence, and (ii) except to the extent that such contractor’s tools and equipment will become part of the job, such tools and equipment shall not be considered insurable items.
 
(v)  Flood.  If the Qualified Asset is located in a federally designated flood zone A or V and flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, flood insurance is required in an amount equal to maximum coverage available, replacement cost, or such amount as a mortgage lender  may require.
 
(vi)  Earthquake.  If a Qualified Asset is in an area identified by any governmental, engineering or any hazard underwriting agencies as being subject to the peril of earthquake, and the project is in a high-risk seismic area denoted as Zones 3 and 4 under the Uniform Building Code (UBC), appropriate earthquake insurance coverage as required by lender is required.
 
(b)  Liability.
 
(i)  The Partnership and the SP Subsidiaries shall obtain and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance on the broadest forms available for similar risks, written on an “occurrence policy form,” against all claims for bodily injury, disease or death, property damage, personal injury, certified and non-certified acts of terrorism products and completed operations, and contractual liability (deleting any exclusion restricting coverage for contractual obligations for claims occurring on, in or about the Qualified Asset and adjoining premises, and for explosion, collapse, and underground property damage) in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 arising out of any one occurrence; provided, however that coverage for explosion, collapse, and underground property damage shall not be required until such time as any excavation at the Qualified Asset commences, and may be in the form of coverage carried by the applicable contractor.  Such insurance may be provided under a primary and an umbrella policy or policies, provided that such umbrella policy or policies shall not exclude “real estate activities.”  If liability coverage for any Qualified Asset procured by the contractor is included under any blanket policy written on an aggregate form, then the annual aggregate limit of insurance must apply per location.  The policy shall be endorsed to include the SP Subsidiary, the Partnership, the lender and each Partner thereof as an additional insured subject to the benefits stipulated under subsection (i)(iv) hereof. Such insurance will be endorsed as primary and non-contributory with any other insurance available to the SP Subsidiary, the Partnership, the lender and each Partner.
 
(ii)  During any period of construction, repair, restoration, renovation or replacement of the Qualified Asset, the Partnership shall cause the general contractor to maintain commercial liability insurance (or the Partnership’s or SP Subsidiary’s and Contractor’s protective liability insurance in the name of the Partnership or SP Subsidiary and each Partner thereof), with extension for, but not limited to, products/completed operations, with limits of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence.  Completed Operations insurance shall remain in effect for the length of time statutorily required in the state in which
 
 
Schedule 4.7-2

 
the construction occurs. This coverage shall be maintained as was agreed to at the time of substantial completion of the Qualified Asset and shall be for the same limits as required above. The Partnership shall also cause the general contractor to require its subcontractors of any tier to provide confirmation of commercial liability coverage (including products/completed operations), and such insurance shall be on a primary and non-contributory basis with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per Qualified Asset.  The general contractors and the subcontractors shall have the Partnership and the SP Subsidiary included on the insurance required herein as additional insureds.
 
(c)  Worker’s Compensation.  The Partnership and the SP Subsidiaries will maintain Worker’s Compensation as statutorily required and Employer’s Liability insurance, or their equivalent, for all of their respective employees, and will cause any of their agents, contractors and subcontractors of any tier to maintain similar insurance for all their respective employees, to the fullest extent required under the laws of the jurisdiction in which a Qualified Asset is located.
 
(d)  Errors and Omission.  The Partnership will cause any professional consultants, including, but not limited to, architects and engineers, to maintain coverage in limits of not less than $1,000,000.
 
(e)  Crime.  The Partnership will maintain crime insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 for the benefit of the Partnership and each Partner thereof against loss caused by infidelity of its officers, agents, servants and employees; and against robbery or burglary both on and off premises.
 
(f)  Other Insurance.  In addition to the above, the Partnership and the SP Subsidiaries shall maintain all insurance, surety and fidelity bonds in amounts and for such periods that are deemed to be prudent, or are customarily maintained by persons or entities operating properties of like kind, construction and occupancy in the locality of each Qualified Asset.  Compliance with insurance requirements will not in itself be construed to be a limitation of the Partnership’s or the SP Subsidiaries’ liability.
 
(g)  All Insurance.  All insurance required herein will be primary and not excess over, contributory or participating with any other insurance carried by individual Partners of the Partnership or their respective affiliates or agents.
 
(h)  Other Requirements With Respect to Insurance.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to all insurance coverage required above:
 
(i)  Insurance Companies:  All insurance required herein shall be issued by insurance companies of recognized good standing, with a rating of at least A-VII in Best’s Key Rating Guide, except for loans in excess of $35,000,000 where required by lender and in in such case a rating of at lease AVII in Best’s Key Rating Guide, and must be licensed to do business in the state in which the Qualified Asset is located or must otherwise be acceptable to the Partnership.  Insurance ratings are subject to the approval of mortgagee. Coverage under blanket policies may be extended by endorsements provided the insurers meet the requirements stipulated herein.  Each policy shall not have more than a $25,000 deductible for any occurrence, except for mandatory deductibles where required under local regulations, or when required by insurers for specific catastrophic perils, or with respect to flood insurance pursuant to Section (a)(v) which deductible shall not exceed $250,000 for any occurrence. An allowance for deductibles in excess of $25,000 on all-risk policies will be allowed upon the approval of mortgagee, but in any event cannot exceed $100,000.
 
(ii)  Evidence of Insurance:  The Partnership or the SP Subsidiaries shall obtain, before the expiration date of each such policy, original policies (or renewals or extensions of the insurance afforded thereby) or certified duplicates thereof, or binders evidencing such insurance, or
 
 
Schedule 4.7-3

endorsements, or certificates thereof.  Evidence of Property insurance shall be on ACORD 28 forms acceptable to lenders and naming lender as mortgagee and loss payee.  Certificates of General Liability shall be on ACORD 25 forms and shall name lender as additional insured.
 
(iii)  Insurance (Cut-Through Endorsement).  Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, insurance placed with a non-admitted insurer or excess and surplus lines insurer will (upon written request of the Partners) require a “cut-through” endorsement for reinsurance purposes to allow for recovery directly from a reinsurer in the event of the primary insurer’s insolvency or cessation of insurance operations. This will be addressed on a case by case basis, dependent on the insurance carriers involved.
 
(iv)  Cancellation:  The Partnership shall immediately notify each Partner of the Partnership of any cancellation of, non-renewal, or such material change as may adversely affect any insurance policy or coverage in force.  Each policy shall contain a provision obligating the insurer to send at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to any party included as an additional insured or loss payee notifying them of the intent to cancel or make such change, and that any loss otherwise payable to them thereunder shall be paid notwithstanding any act or negligence on their part or that of the Partnership which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or part of such insurance payment.
 
(v)  Separate Insurance:  Without the prior written consent of all Partners of the Partnership, neither the Partnership not any SP Subsidiary shall purchase separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss, with the insurance required hereunder.
 
(vi)  Payment of Premium.  The Partnership or the applicable SP Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for, and promptly pay when due, any and all premiums on all such insurance.
