The Obligations shall be “non-recourse” to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall not be liable personally to pay any of the Obligations accruing hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, it being agreed that Lender and its successors and assigns shall look solely to the Collateral Asset and the rents, issues, profits and avails thereof and to any other security given to secure the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including without limitation the personal liability of Guarantor under the Guaranties, the Environmental Indemnity, the Account Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed by Guarantor in its individual capacity.

Usury
This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject the Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

The Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
1.
LOAN TERM; REPAYMENT. The principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at the Applicable Interest Rate. The entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Payment of principal and interest of this Note shall be governed by the Loan Agreement.
2.
SECURITY FOR THE NOTE.
2.1.
As security for the payment of the monies owing under this Note, Maker has delivered or has caused to be delivered to Agent the following (each a "Loan Document" and collectively with this Note, the Loan Agreement, and any other guaranty, document, certificate or instrument executed by Maker or any other obligated party in connection with the Loan, together with all amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions thereof, the "Loan Documents"): (a) a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Security Agreement executed by Maker in favor of Payee, dated of even date herewith, and to be recorded in the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida (the “Mortgage”), on certain real property and the improvements situated thereon in St. Lucie County, Florida, as more fully described in the Mortgage (the "Property"); (b) an Assignment of Leases and Rents executed by Maker in favor of Payee, dated of even date herewith, and to be recorded in the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida (the "Assignment of Leases") assigning all of the assignor's rights as lessor under all leases affecting the Property; (c) a Limited Payment Guaranty, of even date herewith, executed by Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc., a real estate investment trust (“Guarantor”), in favor of Payee (the “Limited Payment Guaranty”), and (d) a Non-Recourse Exception Guaranty, of even date herewith, executed by Guarantor in favor of Payee (the “Non-Recourse Guaranty”; together with the Limited Payment Guaranty, the "Guaranties").
2.2.
Maker hereby grants to Payee a continuing security interest in all property of Maker, now or hereafter in the possession of Payee, as security for the payment of this Note,
A-1
which security interest shall be enforceable and subject to all the provisions of this Note, as if such property were specifically pledged hereunder.
3.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of a Default, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums due hereunder shall without notice become immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement.
4.
GENERAL PROVISIONS:
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Documents, Maker and any endorsers or guarantors hereof jointly and severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest or notice of protest and nonpayment, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and properties securing payment hereof. Maker and any endorsers or guarantors hereof agree that the time for any payments hereunder may be extended from time to time without notice and consent to the acceptance of further security or the release of any existing security for this Note, all without in any manner affecting their liability under or with respect to this Note. No extension of time for the payment of this Note or any installment hereof shall affect the liability of Maker under this Note even though Maker is not a party to such agreement.
All notices and communications under this Note shall be given in the manner for notices as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
All amounts payable hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection hereof when incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted to enforce this Note.
This Note is given for business purposes and none of the proceeds of the Loan or this Note will be used for personal, family or household purposes.
MAKER AGREES THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
This Note shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Florida. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Maker and Payee at all times to comply with the applicable law now or hereafter governing the interest payable on this Note or the Loan (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits the Payee to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under Florida law). If the applicable law is ever revised, repealed, or judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note, or under any of the Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if Payee’s exercise of the option herein contained to accelerate the maturity of this Note, or if any prepayment by Maker results in Maker’s having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Maker’s and Payee’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Payee be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or, if the Note has been paid in full, refunded to Maker), and
A-2
the provisions of this Note and the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder.
All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and by the other security documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as debt is outstanding under the Loan.
The term “Maker” as used in this Note shall mean and have reference to, collectively, all parties and each of them directly or indirectly obligated for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, whether as principal maker, endorser, guarantor, or otherwise, together with all parties who have acquired the property encumbered by the Mortgage or any portion or portions thereof, together with the respective heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note.
FLORIDA DOCUMENTARY STAMPS IN THE AMOUNT REQUIRED BY LAW HAS BEEN PAID WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE AND PROPER DOCUMENTARY STAMPS AFFIXED TO THE MORTGAGE SECURING THE NOTE.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION SPECIFICATIONS AND PROCEDURES
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to be prepared in accordance with the ASTM Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM Designation E1527-94), a summary of which follows:
This ASTM practice is generally considered the industry standard for conducting a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). The purpose of this standard is to “define good commercial and customary practice in the United States of America for conducting an ESA of a parcel of commercial real estate with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products.” The ASTM Phase I ESA is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for the innocent landowner defense to CERCLA liability; that is, the practice that constitutes “all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practices” as defined in 42 USC 9601(35)(B).
The goal of the ASTM Phase I ESA is to identify “recognized environmental conditions.” Recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. The term includes hazardous substances or petroleum products even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimus conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies.
The ASTM standard indicates that a Phase I ESA should consist of four main components: 1) Records Review; 2) Site Reconnaissance; 3) Interviews; and 4) Report. The purpose of the records review is to obtain and review records that will help identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The site reconnaissance involves physical observation of the property’s exterior and interior, as well as an observation of adjoining properties. Interviews with previous and current owners and occupants, and local government officials provides insight into the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. The final component of the ESA, the report, contains the findings of the ESA and conclusions regarding the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. It includes documentation to support the analysis, opinions, and conclusions found in the report.
While the use of this practice is intended to constitute appropriate inquiry for purposes of CERCLA’s innocent landowner defense, it is not intended that its use be limited to that purpose. The ASTM standard is intended to be an approach to conducting an inquiry designed to identify recognized environmental conditions in connection with a property, and environmental site assessments.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S AND GUARANTOR’S COUNSEL
__________________, 2010
KeyBank National Association

Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000
Re:
$14,000,000 Loan to Inland Diversified Port St Lucie Square, LLC (collectively, the “Borrower”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Borrower and Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Guarantor”) in connection with a $14,000,000 secured loan to Borrower, (the “Loan”), which Loan is being made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of June __, 2010 (the “Loan Agreement”) among Borrower, Guarantor, and KeyBank National Association (the “Lender”). All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
In connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of the operating agreements, partnership agreements and certificates of limited partnership, and Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the general partner of the Guarantor, acting on behalf of the Guarantor individually and in its capacity as the sole member of the Borrower and all such corporate and other records of the Borrower, Guarantor and such general partner, with such declarations and agreements, and certificates of officers and representatives of the Borrower and Guarantor, with such other documents, and we have made such other examinations and investigations as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
We have examined the originals of the following documents, each of which is addressed to the Lender or to which the Lender is a party (all of which are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”):
1.
The Loan Agreement;
2.
The Note;
3.
The Guaranties;
4.
The Environmental Indemnity;
5.
The Mortgage; and
6.
The other Security Documents.
F-1
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1.
Borrower is a limited liability company and the Guarantor is a limited partnership, both duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower and Guarantor each have all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
2.
The general partner of Guarantor is a corporation or trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The general partner of Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to own its properties, carry on its business and to deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
3.
The execution, delivery, and performance by each of the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Borrower and Guarantor and does not (i) require any consent or approval of any partner or shareholder of such entity or any other person or entity excepting such consents or approvals as have actually been obtained; (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, or regulation of the United States or the State of Florida, or any provision of the limited liability company, partnership or corporate law presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower or Guarantor or Guarantor’s general partner, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of the operating agreement of the Borrower or the partnership agreement of the Guarantor or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Guarantor’s general partner; (iv) violate any presently existing statutory or administrative provision or judicial decision applicable to the Borrower or the Guarantor or its general partner; or (v) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument affecting the Borrower or the Guarantor or Guarantor’s general partner.
4.
Each Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Guarantor, (b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor, and (c) is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that we express no opinion regarding the enforceability of the Mortgage under Minnesota law.
5.
To our knowledge, no presently existing authorization, exemption, consent, approval, license, or registration with any court or governmental department, commission, bureau, agency, or instrumentality will be necessary for the valid, binding, and enforceable execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents.
6.
To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower or the Guarantor before any court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
F-2
7.
The Loan Documents (other than the Mortgage) are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and the Loan, including the interest rate reserved in the applicable Note and all fees and charges paid or to be paid by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Loan pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents, is not in violation of the usury laws of the State of Florida.
8.
[SUCH OTHER OPINIONS AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LENDER’S COUNSEL.]
The opinions expressed herein are expressly made subject to and qualified by the following:
(a) We have assumed that the Loan Documents are duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Lender and all other parties other than the Borrower and the Guarantor.
(b) This opinion is based upon existing laws, ordinances and regulations in effect as of the date hereof.
(c) This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Florida and applicable federal law and no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
(d) We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals (other than the Loan Documents) and the conformity to original documents of all documents (other than the Loan Documents) submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.
(e) The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that: (i) the enforceability of any rights or remedies in any agreement or instruments may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally; and (ii) the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy is subject to the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This opinion may be relied upon by only by the addressees hereof, its attorneys, auditors, advisors, participants, and their respective successors and assigns, and not by any other party.
Very truly yours,
