SPE I, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("SPE I") and to Inland
Reisterstown SPE II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("SPE II" and,
collectively with SPE I, the "Borrower") to be evidenced by a certain promissory
note of even date herewith in the principal amount of $49,650,000.00 made by
Borrower to Lender (the "Note"). The Loan is being made pursuant to that certain
Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Borrower, Guarantor
and Lender (the "Loan Agreement").

from Guarantor for the benefit of Lender which will encumber the Property (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) located in Washington County, Maryland.
C. Reisterstown Plaza is the sole member of SPE I and RRP Xxxxx is the

Loan.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Guarantor hereby represents, warrants. covenants and agrees for the benefit of
Lender as follows:
1. GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees to Lender (and its successors and assigns), jointly
and severally, the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note or the Loan Agreement,
whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
GUARANTOR'S LIABILITY HEREUNDER IS CONDITIONED UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT
BY BORROWER UNDER THE NOTE OR THE LOAN AGREEMENT. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE
GUARANTOR HEREUNDER REPRESENT A FUTURE CONTINGENT LIABILITY AND NOT A
1
PRESENT LIABILITY. As used herein, the term "Guaranteed Obligations" shall mean
the unpaid balance of the Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement). This Guaranty
is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance, is
joint and several and is not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be
revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any
Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by
Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor's death (in
which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor's estate and
Guarantor's legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from
time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not
release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to
Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any
subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or
negotiation of all or part of the Note. The Guaranteed Obligations and the
liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be
reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future
offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender or
against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or
defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the
transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise. If all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall not be punctually paid when due,
whether at maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall,
immediately upon demand by Lender, and without presentment, protest, notice of
protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity,
notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in
lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed
Obligations to Lender at Lender's address as set forth herein. Such demand(s)
may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with
respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand
shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice
provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof,
the liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited as set forth in
Section 9.4 of the Loan Agreement.
2. UNIMPAIRED LIABILITY. The liability of Guarantor under this Agreement
shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Guarantor hereby consents to and
agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of the
Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents (as
defined in the Loan Agreement). In addition, the liability of Guarantor under
this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of
time for performance required by the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or
any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) any sale or transfer of all or part of the
Property, (iii) intentionally omitted, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the
representations and warranties made by Borrower or Guarantor under the Note, the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or herein, (v)
the release of Borrower or Guarantor or any other person from performance or
observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or condition contained in
the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note or the other Loan Documents by
operation of law, Lender's voluntary act, or otherwise, (vi) the release or
substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Note, or (vii) Lender's
failure to record the Mortgage or file any UCC financing statements (or Lender's
improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect,
secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Note;
and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Guarantor and with or
without consideration.
2
3. ENFORCEMENT. Lender may enforce the obligations of Guarantor without
first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral or without first
having recourse to the Note, the Mortgage, or any other Loan Documents or any of
the Property, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Lender from using on the Note,
foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale under the Mortgage, or exercising
any other rights and remedies thereunder, subject to the terms of Section 9.4 of
the Loan Agreement.
4. SURVIVAL. The obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this
Agreement shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination,
satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any
power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage.
5. ATTORNEY'S FEES. Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable
attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by Lender in the
enforcement of or preservation of Lender's rights under this Agreement
including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and expenses, investigation
costs, and all court costs, whether or not suit is filed hereon, or whether at
maturity or by acceleration, or whether before or after maturity, or whether in
connection with bankruptcy, insolvency or appeal, or whether in connection with
the collection and enforcement of this Agreement against any other Guarantor, if
there be more than one. Guarantor agrees to pay interest on any expenses or
other sums due to Lender under this section that are not paid when due, at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate provided for in the Note. Guarantor's
obligations and liabilities under this section shall survive any payment or
discharge in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
6. WAIVERS.
(a) Guarantor hereby waives (i) any right or claim of right to cause a
marshalling of any Guarantor's assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any
of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against
Guarantor; (ii) and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable
law to Guarantor, except any rights of subrogation which Guarantor may have,
provided that the guaranty provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent
upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims
or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement
or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights including, without
limitation, any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of
Lender; (iii) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or
compulsory counterclaim (or any counterclaim, the substantive claim of which
Guarantor would not be able to assert if not asserted in a counterclaim), in any
action or proceeding brought against or by Lender; (iv) notice of acceptance
hereof and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (v) presentment
for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to
perform or observe, or other proof, or notice or demand; (vi) all homestead
exemption rights against the obligations hereunder and the benefits of any
statutes of limitations or repose; (vii) any assertion or claim that the
automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (arising upon the voluntary or
involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Guarantor or Borrower) or any other stay
provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case
law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect,
which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay,
interdict, condition,
3
reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether
now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against Guarantor or the
collateral for this Agreement; and, (viii) any modifications of this Agreement,
the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or any obligation
of Borrower or Guarantor relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action
of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended,
or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or
otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or
otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor
hereby agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect
to any collateral securing the Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full.
(b) GUARANTOR AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE
LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THE COMMITMENT FOR THE LOAN, THE LOAN
AGREEMENT, THE DEED OF TRUST, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY LENDER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
