As a material inducement to Kite Realty to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each Contributor hereby makes to Kite Realty each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Article II, severally but not jointly, which representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof.

2.1 Title to the Interests. Contributor owns, directly or indirectly, and at the Closing (after giving effect to the Distributions and any transfers contemplated herein or on Exhibit A hereto) will own beneficially and of record, free and clear of any claim, lien (including tax liens), option, charge, security interest, mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance, rights of assignment, purchase rights or other rights of any nature whatsoever of any third party (collectively, "Encumbrances"), and has or will have at the Closing full power and authority to convey free and clear of any Encumbrances, the Interests in the Entities listed on Exhibit A hereto as being owned by such Contributor and, upon delivery of an assignment by Contributor conveying such Interests and consideration for such Interests as herein provided, Kite Realty (or its designee) will acquire good and valid title thereto, free and clear of any Encumbrance, in each case, except (i) Encumbrances created in favor of Kite Realty by the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) Encumbrances that are extinguished at or prior to Closing, (iii) Encumbrances listed on Schedule 2 hereto, and (iv) the Assumed Liabilities.

This Agreement and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of Contributor pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Contributor, each enforceable in accordance with its respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each such agreement, document and instrument by or on behalf of Contributor (i) does not and will

not violate any foreign, federal, state, local or other laws applicable to such Contributor or require such Contributor to obtain any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or authority (governmental or otherwise) that will not be obtained or made at or prior to the Closing, other than those listed on Schedule 2 hereto; and (ii) if such Contributor is not an individual, does not and will not violate such Contributor's partnership agreement, operating agreement or other organizational documents; (iii) except to the extent set forth on Schedule 2 and except for the Assumed Liabilities, does not and will not violate any term, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any bond, note or other evidence of indebtedness or any contract, lease or other instrument to which such Contributor is a party or by which the property of such Contributor is bound or affected; and (iv) does not and will not result in the creation of any Encumbrance on the property or assets of any of the Entities.

2.3 Litigation. There is no litigation or proceeding, either judicial or administrative, pending or, to Contributor's knowledge, threatened, affecting all or any portion of such Contributor's Interests or such Contributor's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. There is no outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government, governmental entity or authority or arbitration against or affecting all or any portion of Contributor's Interests, which in any such case would impair such Contributor's ability to enter into and perform all of such Contributor's obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 No Agreements to Sell. Except to the extent contemplated herein or on Exhibit A (including the Distributions and the Trust Transfer), Contributor is not currently a party to any agreement to sell, transfer or otherwise encumber or dispose of such Contributor's Interests.

2.5 Status as a United States Person. Contributor represents and warrants that such Contributor is not a foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code ("Section 1445").

No attachments, execution proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings are pending or, to Contributor's knowledge, threatened against such Contributor, nor are any such proceedings contemplated by such Contributor.

2.7 No Brokers. Contributor represents that it has not entered into, and covenants that it will not enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or firm which will result in the obligation of Kite Realty to pay any finder's fee, brokerage commission or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.8 Conditional Nature of Transaction. Contributor acknowledges and understands that it is a condition to Kite Realty's obligations to close the transactions contemplated hereby that the other Kite IPO Transactions shall have occurred (or are occurring simultaneously with the Closing), that the occurrence of any of the other Kite IPO Transactions is wholly within the sole and absolute discretion of Kite Realty and its affiliates, and that such Contributor has no right to force any of the other Kite IPO Transactions to occur, on any terms.

2.9 Securities Law Matters; Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Contributor acknowledges that Kite Realty intends the offer and issuance of the Units to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")

and applicable state securities laws by virtue of (i) the status of such Contributor as an "accredited investor" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and (ii) Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act ("Regulation D"), and that Kite Realty will rely in part upon the representations and warranties made by such Contributor in this Agreement in making the determination that the offer and issuance of the Units qualify for exemption under Rule 506 of Regulation D as an offer and sale only to "accredited investors."

(b) Contributor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

(c) Contributor will acquire the Units for his or its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. Contributor does not intend or anticipate that such Contributor will rely on this investment as a principal source of income.

(d) Contributor has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable him to evaluate the merits and risks of investment in the Units. Contributor has the ability to bear the economic risk of acquiring the Units. Contributor acknowledges that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement involve complex tax consequences for such Contributor, and such Contributor is relying solely on the advice of such Contributor's own tax advisors in evaluating such consequences, (ii) Kite Realty has not made (nor shall it be deemed to have made) any representations or warranties as to the tax consequences of such transaction to such Contributor, and (iii) references in this Agreement to the intended tax effect of the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be deemed to imply any representation by Kite Realty as to a particular tax effect that may be obtained by such Contributor. Contributor remains solely responsible for all tax matters relating to such Contributor.

(e) Contributor has been supplied with, or had access to, information to which a reasonable investor would attach significance in making an investment decision to acquire the Units and any other information such Contributor has requested. Contributor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive information and answers from, Kite Realty and the REIT concerning Kite Realty, the REIT, the Units, the other Kite IPO Transactions and the REIT Common Shares into which the Units may be redeemed, and to assess and evaluate any information supplied to such Contributor by Kite Realty or the REIT, and all such questions have been answered, and all such information has been provided to the full satisfaction of such Contributor.

(f) Contributor acknowledges that such Contributor is aware that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Units and that the Units will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and such Contributor has no right to require that they be so registered. Contributor agrees that any Units he acquires will not be sold in the absence of registration unless such sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Contributor acknowledges that such Contributor shall be responsible for compliance with all conditions on transfer imposed by any securities authority and for any expenses incurred by Kite Realty for legal or accounting services in connection with reviewing such a proposed transfer or issuing opinions in connection therewith.

(g) Contributor understands that no federal agency (including the Securities and Exchange Commission) or state agency has made or will make any finding or determination as to the fairness of an investment in the Units (including as to the Contributor Exchange Amount or the value determined pursuant to Section 1.2(a)).

(h) Contributor understands that there is no established public, private or other market for the Units acquired by such Contributor hereunder and it is not anticipated that there will be any public, private or other market for such Units in the forseeable future.

(i) Contributor understands that Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act is not currently available with respect to the sale of Units.

2.10 Reliance. Contributor acknowledges that it understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations and warranties in this Article II, and that Kite Realty may rely upon such representations and warranties in determining whether to enter into this Agreement. Contributor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kite Realty, the REIT, and the officers, directors and affiliates thereof, and any employees or agents of any of the foregoing, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses, including attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim or litigation commenced or threatened) due to or arising out of a breach of any such representations or warranties.

For purposes of this definition, "Gross Equity Value" shall mean the value as determined by the Company as of the Closing Date, in consultation with its underwriters.

or the REIT at the Closing of the Kite IPO, including the purchase price thereof and the amount of any assumed Indebtedness in connection therewith. "Acquisition Costs" shall be calculated without duplication of amounts, including, without limitation, amounts included in Transaction Costs or Pre-Public Offering Indebtedness.

XxXxxxx pursuant to this Agreement), excluding any REIT Common Shares issued pursuant to any over-allotment option of the underwriters, multiplied by the public offering price for REIT Common Shares in the Final Prospectus.

"Service Company Mergers" means the mergers of Kite Construction, Inc., Kite Development Corporation and KMI Realty Advisors, Inc. into subsidiaries of the REIT as part of the Kite IPO Transactions, whereby the stockholders of such companies shall receive REIT Common Shares in such mergers in exchange for their shares of stock in such companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, consistent with Section 6.2(b) of the Agreement, in the event any of the Other Merger Transactions are consummated, the number of REIT Common Shares issued in such Other Merger Transactions shall be included in the calculation of "Other Equity" pursuant hereto, and an appropriate adjustment shall be made (if necessary) to the calculations of Contributor Exchange Value pursuant to this Exhibit B to compensate for the issuance of REIT Common Shares in such Other Merger Transactions in lieu of the issuance of a corresponding number of Units under this Agreement.
