THE CREDIT

Generally.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders severally agree to make Advances through the Administrative Agent to Borrower from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, provided that the making of any such Advance will not cause the outstanding principal balance of all Loans to exceed the then-current Aggregate Commitment.  The Advances may be ratable Floating Rate Advances and ratable Fixed Rate Advances.  Each Lender shall fund its Percentage of each such Advance and no Lender will be required to fund any amounts which, when aggregated with such Lender's Percentage of all other Advances then outstanding, would exceed such Lender's then-current Commitment.  This facility ("Facility") is a revolving credit facility and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances hereunder, repay such Advances and reborrow Advances at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date.

Increase in Aggregate Commitment.  The Borrower shall also have the right from time to time, provided no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is then continuing, to increase the Aggregate Commitment up to a maximum of $150,000,000 by either adding new lenders as Lenders (subject to the Administrative Agent's prior written approval of the identity of such new lenders) or obtaining the agreement, which shall be at such Lender's or Lenders' sole discretion, of one or more of the then current Lenders to increase its or their Commitments.  The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange such increased Commitments and the Borrower's approval of any new lenders shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  On the effective date of any such increase, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any amounts due to it under the Fee Letter and to each lender providing such additional Commitment the up-front fee agreed to by the Borrower.  Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new lender or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof.  On the effective date of each such increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause the new or existing Lenders providing such increase, by either funding more than its or their Percentage of new Advances made on such date or purchasing shares of outstanding Loans held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof, to hold its or their Percentage of all Advances outstanding at the close of business on such day.  The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding Advances to achieve such result.  In no event shall the Aggregate Commitment exceed $150,000,000 without the approval of all of the Lenders.

Ratable Advances.  Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment.

Final Principal Payment.  Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.

Unused Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an unused facility fee (the "Unused Fee") equal to an aggregate amount computed on a daily basis for such calendar year by multiplying the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such calendar quarter, calculated as a per diem rate, times the excess of the Aggregate Commitment over the outstanding principal balance of the Loans on each day of such calendar quarter.  The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the last day of each calendar quarter. 

Other Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Borrower's amended and restated letter agreement with the Administrative Agent of even date herewith (the "Fee Letter"). 

Minimum Amount of Each Advance.  Each Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment.

Optional Principal Payments.  The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Advances without prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  A Fixed Rate Advance may be paid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if and only if the Borrower pays any amounts due to the Lenders under Section 3.4 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day.

Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances.  The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, theInterest Period applicable to each Advance from time to time.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a "Borrowing Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit I (i) not later than 3:00 p.m. Cleveland time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Advance:

the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

the aggregate amount of such Advance,

the Type of Advance selected, and

in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to the Lenders by facsimile of each Borrowing Notice and each Conversion/Continuation Notice not later than the close of business on the Business Day it is received.  Each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans, in funds immediately available in Cleveland to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII on each Borrowing Date not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time), in the case of Floating Rate Advances which have been requested by a Borrowing Notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Borrowing Date, or (ii) noon (Cleveland time) in the case of all other Advances.  The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's aforesaid address.

No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date and, unless the Lenders otherwise agree in writing, in no event may there be more than six (6) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances outstanding at any one time.

Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances.  Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Fixed Rate Advances.  Each Fixed Rate Advance shall continue as a Fixed Rate Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Fixed Rate Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Fixed Rate Advance either continue as a Fixed Rate Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to an Advance of another Type.  Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Fixed Rate Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a "Conversion/Continuation Notice") of each conversion of an Advance to a Fixed Rate Advanceor continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time), at least three Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Advance, prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

the requested date which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

the amount and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Fixed Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Changes in Interest Rate, Etc.  Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a Fixed Rate Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Fixed Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day.  Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.  Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance.

Rates Applicable After Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Advance.  During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Advance plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall become applicable automatically if a Default occurs under Section 7.1 or 7.2, unless waived by the Required Lenders. 

Method of Payment.  All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders.

As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders' interests in the Advances and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders' interests shall have priority over the others.  Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (local time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with KeyBank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

Notes; Telephonic Notices.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower's obligations under such Note.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer.  The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer.  If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.  The Administrative Agent will at the request of the Borrower, from time to time, but not more often than monthly, provide notice of the amount of the outstanding Aggregate Commitment, the Type of Advance, and the applicable interest rate, if for a Fixed Rate Advance.  Upon a Lender's furnishing to Borrower an affidavit to such effect, if a Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefore, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as such Note being replaced.

Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis.  Interest accrued on each Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.1 hereof.  Interest and Unused Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.  Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment.  If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments.  The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

Lending Installations.  Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation fromtime to time.  All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation.  Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.  If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.

Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.  The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender which (a) is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax pursuant to Section 3.5, or (b) cannot maintain its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation pursuant to Section 3.3, with a replacement bank or other financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements affecting the Lenders, (ii) no Default or (after notice thereof to Borrower) no Unmatured Default  shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Sections 3.4 and 3.6 if any Fixed Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.5 and (viii) anysuch replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Usury.  This Agreement and each 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 any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of theMaximum 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 ofinterest 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.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Yield Protection.  If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender in respect of its LIBOR Loans, or

imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Fixed Rate Advances), or

imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making, funding or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation  in connection with its Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Fixed Rate Loans, by an amount deemed material by such Lender  as the case may be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation in connection with such Fixed Rate Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or the Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.  If a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or anycorporation controlling such Lender  is increased as a result of a Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender's policies as to capital adequacy).  "Change" means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk‑Based Capital Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi‑governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender.  "Risk‑Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk‑based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards," including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

Availability of Types of Advances.  If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any Fixed Rate Advances of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Required Lenders in goodfaith determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance does not accurately reflect the cost of making a Fixed Rate Advance of such Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.1 are inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination.  If the Borrower is required to so repay a Fixed Rate Advance, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

Funding Indemnification.  If any payment of a ratable Fixed Rate Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable Fixed Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable Fixed Rate Advance and shallpay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. 

Taxes.

All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes.  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note ("Other Taxes").

The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a "Non-U.S. Lender") agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (iv), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States. 

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate following receipt of such documentation.

If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent).  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.5(vii) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts, whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise, except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to such liability.

Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.  To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loansto reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Fixed Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Lender shalldeliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5.  Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.  Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.  Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement.  The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

Defaulting Lenders.  At such time as a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders, each affected Lender or all Lenders shall be immediately suspended until such time as the Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, except that the amount of the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender may not be changed without its consent.  If a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share of any Advance and until such time as such Defaulting Lender subsequently funds its pro rata share of such Advance, all Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereundershall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal of, interest on and fees relating to the Loans funded by the other Lenders in connection with any such Advance in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as "Senior Loans" for the purposes of this section).  All amounts paid by the Borrower or the Guarantor and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributedby the Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for the purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender) until all Senior Loans have been paid in full.  After the Senior Loans have been paid in full equitable adjustments will be made in connection with future payments by the Borrower to the extent a portion of the Senior Loans had been repaid with amounts that otherwise would have been distributed to a Defaulting Lender but for the operation of this Section 10.14.  This provision governs only the relationship among the Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

Setoff.  In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lenderor any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.

Ratable Payments.  If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans.  If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans.  In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Successors and Assigns.  The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3.  The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person.  Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

Participations.

Permitted Participants; Effect.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions, pension funds, or any other funds or entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

Voting Rights.  Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 or of any other Loan Document. 

Benefit of Setoff.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant which has previously advised the Borrower in writing of its purchase of a participation in a Lender's interest in its Loans shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents.  Each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, provided that such Lender and Participant may not each setoff amounts against the same portion of the Obligations, so as to collect the same amount from the Borrower twice.  The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

Assignments.

Permitted Assignments.  Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to any of such Lender's affiliates or to one or more banks, financial institutions or pension funds, or with the prior approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any other entity ("Purchasers") all or any portion (greater than or equal to $10,000,000 for each assignee, so long as the hold position of the assigning Lender is not less than $10,000,000) of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no approval of the Borrower shall be required for any such assignment if a Default has occurred and is then continuing.  Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto.  The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof.  Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Effect; Effective Date.  Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of assignment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit "I" to Exhibit D hereto (a "Notice of Assignment"), together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee by the assignor or assignee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Notice of Assignment.  The Notice of Assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA.  On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender, and the transferor Lender shall automatically be released on the effective date of such assignment, with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser.  Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their Commitment, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

Dissemination of Information.  The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

Tax Treatment.  If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5.

NOTICES

Giving Notice.  Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.14 with respect to borrowing notices, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under thisAgreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below its signature hereto or at such other address (or to counsel for such party) as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.  Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (answerback confirmed in the case of telexes).

Change of Address.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto.

COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.  This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by telex or telephone, that it has taken such action.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

3.         EFFECTIVE DATE.  The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the "Effective Date") shall be the later of the date specified in Item 5 of Schedule 1 or two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent) after a Notice of Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit "I" attached hereto has been delivered to the Agent.  Such Notice of Assignment must include the consent of the Agent required by Section 12.3.1 of the Credit Agreement.  In no event will the Effective Date occur if the payments required to be made by the Assignee to the Assignor on the Effective Date under Sections 4 and 5 hereof are not made on the proposed Effective Date.  The Assignor will notify the Assignee of the proposed Effective Date no later than the Business Day prior to the proposed Effective Date.  As of the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its corresponding obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to the Assignee hereunder.

4.         PAYMENTS OBLIGATIONS.  On and after the Effective Date, the Assignee shall be entitled to receive from the Agent all payments of principal, interest and fees with respect to the interest assigned hereby.  The Assignee shall advance funds directly to the Agent with respect to all Loans and reimbursement payments made on or after the Effective Date with respect to the interest assigned hereby.  [In consideration for the sale and assignment of Loans hereunder, (i) the Assignee shall pay the Assignor, on the Effective Date, an amount equal to the principal amount of the portion of all Floating Rate Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) with respect to each Fixed Rate Loan made by the Assignor and assigned to the Assignee hereunder which is outstanding on the Effective Date, (a) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor or (b) on such earlier date agreed to by the Assignor and the Assignee or (c) on the date on which any such Fixed Rate Loan either becomes due (by acceleration or otherwise) or is prepaid (the date as described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) or (c) being hereinafter referred to as the "Fixed Rate Due Date"), the Assignee shall pay the Assignor an amount equal to the principal amount of the portion of such Fixed Rate Loan assigned to the Assignee which is outstanding on the Fixed Rate Due Date.  If the Assignor and the Assignee agree that the applicable Fixed Rate Due Date for such Fixed Rate Loan shall be the Effective Date, they shall agree, solely for purposes of dividing interest paid by the Borrower on such Fixed Rate Loan, to an alternate interest rate applicable to the portion of such Loan assigned hereunder for the period from the Effective Date to the end of the related Interest Period (the "Agreed Interest Rate") and any interest received by the Assignee in excess of the Agreed Interest Rate, with respect to such Fixed Rate Loan for such period, shall be remitted to the Assignor.  [In the event interest for any period from the Effective Date to but not including the Fixed Rate Due Date is not paid when due by the Borrower with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan sold by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor interest for such period on the portion of such Fixed Rate Loan sold by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder at the applicable rate provided by the Credit Agreement.]  In the event a prepayment of any Fixed Rate Loan which is existing on the Effective Date and assigned by the Assignor to the Assignee hereunder occurs after the Effective Date but before the applicable Fixed Rate Due Date, the Assignee shall remit to the Assignor any excess of the funding indemnification amount paid by the Borrower under Section 3.4 of the Credit Agreement an account of such prepayment with respect to the portion of such Fixed Rate Loan assigned to the Assignee hereunder over the amount which would have been paid if such prepayment amount were calculated based on the Agreed Interest Rate and only covered the portion of the Interest Period after the Effective Date.  The Assignee will promptly remit to the Assignor (i) the portion of any principal payments assigned hereunder and received from the Agent with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan prior to its Fixed Rate Due Date and (ii) any amounts of interest on Loans and fees received from the Agent which relate to the portion of the Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder for periods prior to the Effective Date, in the case of Floating Rate Loans or fees, or the Fixed Rate Due Date, in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, and not previously paid by the Assignee to the Assignor.]*  In the event that either party hereto receives any payment to which the other party hereto is entitled under this Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such amount shall promptly remit it to the other party hereto.

*Each Assignor may insert its standard payment provisions in lieu of the payment terms included in this Exhibit.

5.         FEES PAYABLE BY THE ASSIGNEE.  The Assignee shall pay to the Assignor a fee on each day on which a payment of interest or facility fees is made under the Credit Agreement with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder (other than a payment of interest or facility fees attributable to the period prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of Fixed Rate Loans, the Payment Date, which the Assignee is obligated to deliver to the Assignor pursuant to Section 4 hereof).  The amount of such fee shall be the difference between (i) the interest or fee, as applicable, paid with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder and (ii) the interest or fee, as applicable, which would have been paid with respect to the amounts assigned to the Assignee hereunder if each interest rate was calculated at the rate of     % rather than the actual percentage used to calculate the interest rate paid by the Borrower or if the Unused Fee was calculated at the rate of     % rather than the actual percentage used to calculate the Unused Fee paid by the Borrower, as applicable.  In addition, the Assignee agrees to pay     % of the fee required to be paid to the Agent in connection with this Assignment Agreement.

6.         REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ASSIGNOR; LIMITATIONS ON THE ASSIGNOR'S LIABILITY.  The Assignor represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder, that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim created by the Assignor and that it has all necessary right and authority to enter into this Assignment.  It is understood and agreed that the assignment and assumption hereunder are made without recourse to the Assignor and that the Assignor makes no other representation or warranty of any kind to the Assignee.  Neither the Assignor nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be responsible for (i) the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or collectability of any Loan Document, including without limitation, documents granting the Assignor and the other Lenders a security interest in assets of the Borrower or any guarantor, (ii) any representation, warranty or statement made in or in connection with any of the Loan Documents, (iii) the financial condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any guarantor, (iv) the performance of or compliance with any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents, (v) inspecting any of the Property, books or records of the Borrower, (vi) the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral securing or purporting to secure the Loans or (vii) any mistake, error of judgment, or action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the Loans or the Loan Documents.

7.         REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ASSIGNEE.  The Assignee (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements requested by the Assignee and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and information at it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, (iii) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender, (v) agrees that its payment instructions and notice instructions are as set forth in the attachment to Schedule 1, (vi) confirms that none of the funds, monies, assets or other consideration being used to make the purchase and assumption hereunder are "plan assets" as defined under ERISA and that its rights, benefits and interests in and under the Loan Documents will not be "plan assets" under ERISA, [and (vii) attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying that the Assignee is entitled to receive payments under the Loan Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes].**

**to be inserted if the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, or a state thereof.

8.         INDEMNITY.  The Assignee agrees to indemnify and hold the Assignor harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities incurred by the Assignor in connection with or arising in any manner from the Assignee's non-performance of the obligations assumed under this Assignment Agreement.

9.         SUBSEQUENT ASSIGNMENTS.  After the Effective Date, the Assignee shall have the right pursuant to Section 12.3.1 of the Credit Agreement to assign the rights which are assigned to the Assignee hereunder to any entity or person, provided that (i) any such subsequent assignment does not violate any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree and that any consent required under the terms of the Loan Documents has been obtained and (ii) unless the prior written consent of the Assignor is obtained, the Assignee is not thereby released from its obligations to the Assignor hereunder, if any remain unsatisfied, including, without limitation, its obligations under Sections 4, 5 and 8 hereof.

10.        REDUCTIONS OF AGGREGATE COMMITMENT.  If any reduction in the Aggregate Commitment occurs between the date of this Assignment Agreement and the Effective Date, the percentage interest specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 shall remain the same, but the dollar amount purchased shall be recalculated based on the reduced Aggregate Commitment.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This Guaranty is made as of May 2, 2003 by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association, individually ("KeyBank") and as administrative agent ("Administrative Agent") for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Lenders").

RECITALS

A.        Inland Real Estate Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland ("Borrower"), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 subject to future increase up to $150,000,000 (the "Facility").

B.         The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, KeyBank, individually, and as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "Credit Agreement").  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

C.         Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender's Commitment and promissory notes in the principal amount, if any, of each Lender's Loan as evidence of Borrower's indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes").

D.        Subsidiary Guarantors are subsidiaries of Borrower.  Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members.  The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Credit Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:

1.         Subsidiary Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each of the Lenders:

(a)        the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

(b)        the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(c)        the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the "Facility Indebtedness."  All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the "Obligations."  Subsidiary Guarantors and Lenders agree that Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of:  (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Facility Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the "Bankruptcy Code").  To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code.  In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty each other guarantor of the Facility Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor's pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder and under such other guaranty) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Facility Indebtedness to Lenders.

2.         In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

3.         Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations.  Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Lenders' assessment of the financial condition of Borrower.  Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Subsidiary Guarantors.  No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.

4.         Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors' liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders' failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety.  Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any thereof, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders' rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder.

5.         This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.  Subsidiary Guarantors agree that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Facility from time to time.  Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever.  Neither Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower's bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment.  The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

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 Untied 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 COUNSEL

____________, 200_

KeyBank,

as Administrative Agent for the Lenders

000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0^xx Xxxxx

Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx

Re:       $100,000,000 Credit Facility to Inland Real Estate Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for the Borrower in connection with a $100,000,000 revolving loan, (the "Loan"), which Loan is being made pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 2, 2003 (the "Credit Agreement") between Borrower, KeyBank and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"), and KeyBank, as Administrative Agent (the "Agent").

In connection with the Loan we have been furnished with originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylawsof the Borrower, the [partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership] of the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and all such corporate and other records of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, with such declarations and agreements, and certificates of officers and representatives of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and 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 Credit Agreement; and

2.         [describe promissory notes and other Loan Documents].

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.         Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [_________].  Borrower 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.

2.         [Each Subsidiary Guarantor] is a [limited partnership or limited liability company] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [________].  [Each Subsidiary 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 and Subsidiary Guarantors of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Borrower, and Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, 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 States of Illinois or [______], or any provision of the partnership or corporate law presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors or, as applicable; (iii) violate any provision of the partnership agreement of the Borrower or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Subsidiary Guarantors; (iv) violate any presently existing statutory or administrative provision or judicial decision applicable to the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors; or (v) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument affecting the Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantors.

3.         Each Loan Document to which it is a party (a) has been properly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, (b) constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and (c) is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

4.         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 or the General Partners of the Loan Documents.

5.         To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors before any court or governmental entity or instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

6.         The Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, 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 Illinois.

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 Agent, the Lenders and all other parties other than the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(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 Illinois 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,

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

This Guaranty is made as of May 2, 2003 by the parties identified in the signature pages thereto, and any Joinder to Guaranty hereafter delivered (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"), to and for the benefit of KeyBank National Association, individually ("KeyBank") and as administrative agent ("Administrative Agent") for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Lenders").

RECITALS

A.        Inland Real Estate Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland ("Borrower"), and Subsidiary Guarantors have requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 subject to future increase up to $150,000,000 (the "Facility").

B.         The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith among Borrower, KeyBank, individually, and as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "Credit Agreement").  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

C.         Borrower has executed and delivered or will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes in the principal amount of each Lender's Commitment and promissory notes in the principal amount, if any, of each Lender's Loan as evidence of Borrower's indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes").

D.        Subsidiary Guarantors are subsidiaries of Borrower.  Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that the extension of credit by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement will benefit Subsidiary Guarantors by making funds available to Subsidiary Guarantors through Borrower and by enhancing the financial strength of the consolidated group of which Subsidiary Guarantors and Borrower are members.  The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Subsidiary Guarantors are conditions precedent to the performance by the Lenders of their obligations under the Credit Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Subsidiary Guarantors, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agree as follows:

1.         Subsidiary Guarantors absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranty to each of the Lenders:

(a)        the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

(b)        the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(c)        the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the "Facility Indebtedness."  All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the "Obligations."  Subsidiary Guarantors and Lenders agree that Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall not exceed the greater of:  (i) the aggregate amount of all monies received, directly or indirectly, by Subsidiary Guarantors from Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or other means), or (ii) the maximum amount of the Facility Indebtedness not subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the United States Code, as same may be amended from time to time, or any applicable state law (the "Bankruptcy Code").  To that end, to the extent such obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code if Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for its obligations hereunder, each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Subsidiary Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to have incurred debts (or intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, as such terms are determined, and at the time such obligations are deemed to have been incurred, under the Bankruptcy Code.  In the event a Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment or payments under this Guaranty each other guarantor of the Facility Indebtedness shall contribute to such Subsidiary Guarantor an amount equal to such non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor's pro rata share (based on their respective maximum liabilities hereunder and under such other guaranty) of such payment or payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that such contribution right shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment in full of all the Facility Indebtedness to Lenders.

2.         In the event of any default by Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Subsidiary Guarantors agree, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

3.         Subsidiary Guarantors do hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower or which Subsidiary Guarantors or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Subsidiary Guarantors with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to inform Subsidiary Guarantors of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Subsidiary Guarantors are fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations.  Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Subsidiary Guarantors, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantors the Lenders' assessment of the financial condition of Borrower.  Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Subsidiary Guarantors.  No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce this Guaranty.

4.         Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that Subsidiary Guarantors' liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Subsidiary Guarantors of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders' failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Subsidiary Guarantors shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety.  Subsidiary Guarantors further understand and agree that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any thereof, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders' rights hereunder or any of Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder.

5.         This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.  Subsidiary Guarantors agree that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Facility from time to time.  Subsidiary Guarantors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waive the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  Subsidiary Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Subsidiary Guarantors that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever.  Neither Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower's bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment.  The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

6.         This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of such Lender's rights under the Loan Documents.

7.         If:  (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as "Enforcement Costs"), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

8.         The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions.  However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

9.         Any indebtedness of Borrower to Subsidiary Guarantors now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness.  Subsidiary Guarantors will not seek, accept, or retain for Subsidiary Guarantors' own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Subsidiary Guarantors made while any Default or Event of Default then exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.

10.        Subsidiary Guarantors hereby subordinate to the Facility Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Subsidiary Guarantors may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders or any right of Subsidiary Guarantors or the Lenders to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Subsidiary Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.  It is expressly understood that the agreements of Subsidiary Guarantors set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.

11.        Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as a Lender may from time to time elect.

12.        Subsidiary Guarantors hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Illinois for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty.  Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of either the Circuit Court of Xxxx County, Illinois, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in any action, suit, or proceeding which the Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter.  Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of Illinois and hereby waives any objection which Subsidiary Guarantors may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

13.        All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.  Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted.  Notice may be given as follows:
