                           PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

     This Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into
by and between Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. ("Purchaser") and Pine
Ridge Plaza, LLC ("Seller").

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Seller is the owner in fee simple of a certain parcel of real
property, buildings containing approximately 226,471 square feet of net rentable
retail space, the improvements thereon and certain Intangible Property
(described in Section 3(b)(iii)), commonly known as Pine Ridge Plaza Shopping
Center and located at the southeast corner of 31st and Iowa Streets in Lawrence,
Kansas, said real property legally described on EXHIBIT A attached hereto and
incorporated herein (such real property, improvements and Intangible Property
collectively referred to herein as the "Property"); and

     WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller desire to enter into this Agreement to
provide for the sale of the Property by Seller and Purchaser upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants,
promises and undertakings set forth herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   PURCHASE AND SALE. At the price and upon the terms, conditions and
provisions herein contained, Seller agrees to sell Purchaser, and Purchaser
agrees to buy from Seller, the Property.

     2.   PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the
Property shall be Twenty-Six Million Nine Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($26,981,500). The Purchase Price shall be payable to Seller
as follows:


     (a)  Purchaser shall deposit the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
          ($250,000) earnest money (the "Earnest Money") with an escrow officer
          at Chicago Title Insurance Company, 171 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL
          60601, Attn: Nancy Castro, Division 2 Escrow, Phone (312) 223-2709,

          Earnest Money has been received by the Title Company. The cost of said
          escrow shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. The Title
          Company shall deposit the Earnest Money in an interest-bearing account
          (at Purchaser's cost and expense) in order to earn the highest
          interest then available. The interest earned thereon shall be added to
          and become a part of the Earnest Money. The Earnest Money and interest
          earned thereon shall be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing, or
          distributed as set forth herein.

     4.   CONTINGENCIES. Purchaser's obligation to close shall be contingent
upon the following:

     (a)  TITLE INSPECTION. Purchaser, at Seller's expense, as set forth in
          Section 2(c) of this Agreement shall obtain the following documents:

          (i)       a title commitment to issue a 1999 Form B Owner's title
                    policy with extended coverage and all of Purchaser's
                    required endorsements ("Title Commitment") from the Title
                    Company, setting forth the condition of the title to the
                    Property, and any exception thereto, as of the Effective
                    Date;

          (ii)      copies of all of the recorded exceptions described in the
                    Title Commitment ("Title Documents"); and

          (iii)     Seller's existing "as built" survey of the Property. Prior
                    to Closing, Seller agrees to deliver an update to the
                    existing survey, which update (the "Survey") shall be
                    currently dated and be certified to the Purchaser, its

                                        4
<Page>

                    successors and assigns and the Title Company as an ALTA/ACSM
                    1999 Survey and which will include all minimum standards
                    detail requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys and all
                    Table A Options and Responsibilities (other than topography)
                    and which will reflect changes to the portion of the
                    Property formerly leased by Kmart, including related parking
                    areas, caused by the remodeling of such area.

     (b)  TITLE INSPECTION PERIOD. Purchaser shall have a period, commencing
          from the date of Purchaser's receipt of the LAST item received of the
          Title Commitment, Title Documents and the Survey, and ending fifteen
          (15) days thereafter, in which to review the foregoing documents (the
          "Title Inspection Period"). In the event the Title Commitment
          discloses reservations, easements, restrictions, encroachments,
          conditions, rights of way, violations or other matters or exceptions
          (collectively referred to as "Title Objections") which would, in
          Purchaser's sole discretion, interfere with Purchaser's intended
          operation of the Property, Purchaser shall have the right to notify
          Seller of such Title Objections on or before the expiration date of
          the Title Inspection Period. Upon notifying Seller of any such Title
          Objections, Seller shall have fifteen (15) days thereafter in which to
          cure or remove such Title Objections. If such Title Objections are not
          cured or removed within said fifteen (l5)-day period, Purchaser shall
          have the option to terminate and cancel this Agreement by giving
          written notice thereof to Seller and to Title Company within fifteen
          (15) days after the expiration of said fifteen (15)-day cure period,
          and upon doing so, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser
          and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to one
          another (except the indemnity set forth in Section 5). If Purchaser
          does not give notice of Title Objections by the expiration of the
          Title Inspection Period or if Purchaser gives such notice, Seller does
          not cure or remove the Title Objections within the fifteen (15)-day
          cure period and Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement within the
          fifteen (15) days following such cure period, then, in either event,
          the right of Purchaser to cancel this Agreement pursuant to this
          Section 4(b) shall expire and all matters shown on the Title
          Commitment shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions." Seller is
          obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to remove or insure over
          Title Objections which are liens or encumbrances of a definite or
          ascertainable amount or other Title Objections which were caused by
          Seller's intentional actions.

     (c)  GENERAL INSPECTION. Purchaser shall have a period commencing with the
          Purchaser's receipt of all of the Inspection Documents and ending
          thirty (30) days thereafter (the "General Inspection Period") in which
          to conduct a complete inspection of the Property and to conduct any
          investigations, including engineering and environmental
          investigations, and to review all of the operating and financial
          history of the Property, or feasibility studies of the Property, to
          review the Leases and the financial condition of the Tenants. If it
          should be determined by Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion and
          judgment, that the Property is not suitable for the purposes which
          Purchaser intends to utilize the Property OR that the Leases, or the
          financial condition of the Tenants are

                                        5
<Page>

          unsatisfactory, Purchaser may give written notice to Seller and the
          Title Company on or before the expiration of the General Inspection
          Period that this Agreement is terminated and is null and void for all
          purposes. Upon receipt by the Title Company of such written notice,
          and without written verification of Seller, the Earnest Money shall
          forthwith be returned by the Title Company to Purchaser and the
          parties hereto shall have no further obligation one to the other
          (except the Indemnity in Section 5).

     (d)  INSPECTION DOCUMENTS. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within five
          (5) days after the Effective Date.

          (i)       copies of all guaranties and warranties from any and all
                    contractors and sub-contractors pertaining to the Property;

          (ii)      copies of the real estate tax bills and notices of assessed
                    valuation pertaining to the Property for the last calendar
                    year;

          (iii)     copies of all Leases, including any amendments,
                    modifications and guaranties related thereto;

          (iv)      copies of all information relating to any inducements,
                    abatements, concessions or cash payments given to Tenants,
                    CAM paid by Tenants and bills sent to Tenants;

          (v)       copies of financial information for one year of operations
                    of the Property;

          (vi)      all maintenance records, service contracts and insurance
                    policies maintained by Seller in connection with the
                    Property;

          (vii)     certified rent roll;

          (viii)    zoning letter, if in Seller's possession; and

     5.   ENTRY RIGHTS AND INDEMNIFICATION. At any time during business hours
and upon reasonable prior written notice after the Effective Date, Purchaser and
its agents, employees, contractors and representatives shall have the right,
privilege and license of entering upon the Property for the purpose of making

investigations. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and Seller's
agents harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense suffered

     10.  MISCELLANEOUS, EFFECTIVE DATE AND STATE LAW. Whenever it is provided
in this Agreement that days shall be counted, the first day to be counted shall

Sunday or legal holiday, then the time for performance shall be deemed extended
to the next succeeding business day. The term "Effective Date" as used in this
Agreement, shall mean the date of execution by the last of the parties hereto to
execute this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of the
State of Kansas. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties to this Agreement on separate counterparts, each of

     14.  OPERATION OF PROPERTY PRIOR TO CLOSING. Except as expressly consented
to by Purchaser in writing, Seller agrees that, prior to Closing:

          (a)       neither Seller nor its agents or representatives shall enter
                    into any new leases, contracts or other agreements, whether
                    oral or written, pertaining to any portion of the Property
                    or the Intangible Property after the Title Inspection Period
                    and General Inspection Period have ended and all of
                    Purchaser's conditions to Closing have terminated or been
                    waived. In the event Seller desires to enter into any new
                    leases, contracts or other agreements, whether oral or
                    written, pertaining to any portion of the Property or the
                    Intangible Property prior to expiration of the Title
                    Inspection Period or General Inspection Period, Seller will
                    deliver copies of all such documents to Purchaser and
                    Purchaser will have ten (10) days to review and approve or
                    disapprove any such lease contract or other agreement. If
                    necessary, the General Inspection Period will be extended to
                    permit Purchaser the benefit of such ten (10)-day period for
                    review and approval of any new lease, contract or other
                    agreement.

          (b)       Seller shall cause the Property to be maintained in their
                    present condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

          (c)       Seller agrees to cooperate fully with Purchaser and
                    Purchaser's representatives to facilitate Purchaser's
                    evaluations, reports and an audit of the books and records
                    of the Property.

     15.  WAIVER. Either party shall have the right to waive any condition or
contingency in this Agreement for the benefit of the party granting such waiver.
Any such waiver shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party waiving
such condition or contingency.

     16.  CLOSING CONTINGENCIES.

          (a)       Notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the
                    contingencies specified in Section 4 hereof, Purchaser shall
                    not be obligated to close hereunder unless Purchaser can
                    obtain from Title Company on the Closing Date a standard
                    ALTA owner's title insurance policy form B-1999 in
                    accordance with this Agreement, insuring fee simple title to
                    the Property in Purchaser subject to the Permitted
                    Exceptions, with a 3.1 zoning endorsement, a survey
                    endorsement, a contiguity endorsement, and an access and
                    public road endorsement, and deleting all standard
                    exceptions including, without limitation, the survey and
                    mechanic's lien exceptions. In the event that such
                    contingency shall not be satisfied or met by the Closing
                    Date, Purchaser, at its option, may waive the satisfaction
                    thereof or terminate this Agreement, and if Purchaser shall
                    terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall receive a return
                    of the Earnest Money and all further rights

                                       11
<Page>

                    and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be terminated
                    (except the indemnity set forth in Section 5).

          (b)       Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is currently remodeling a
                    portion of the Property formerly leased to Kmart for the new
                    tenants, T. J. Max, Michael's and Cost World Plus. In the
                    event such remodeling is not completed prior to the Closing
                    Date, the Closing Date shall be extended to a date ten (10)
                    days following completion of such remodeling. Seller will
                    use its best efforts to and will complete all construction
                    work on the Property as required in the Leases and as is
                    necessary to ensure that all of the tenants of the Property
                    will obtain possession of their leased premises by Closing
                    and pay all rent and pass throughs on a current basis. All
                    work will be completed lien free and in a good and
                    workmanlike manner in accordance with all laws and as
                    required by the terms of the Leases. Seller shall remain
                    liable for all call back and punch list or guaranty work and
                    will assign Purchaser all warranties and guaranties at
                    Closing.

          (c)       All Seller's representations will be true and correct at
                    Closing.

          (d)       All Tenants will be paying rent and pass throughs on a
                    current basis except for Cost World Plus and the tenants
                    operating the Old Navy and Famous Footwear stores located on
                    the Property who may be paying percentage rent for a period
                    not to exceed sixty (60) days after Cost World Plus has
                    opened for business and Seller will be responsible for and
                    credit Purchaser at Closing with any shortfall in rents and
                    pass throughs between those amounts payable by Cost World
                    Plus pursuant to its Lease upon completion of construction
                    and all amounts being paid by such tenant.

                            credit to Purchaser's pro-rata share thereof.

                    the most recently available bills (subject to readjustment
                    on receipt of bills covering the period in which Closing
                    occurs).

                            additional charges of any other nature relating to
                            the Property and/or certain portions thereof
                            (collectively, the "CAM Charges"). Tenants that are
                            obligated to reimburse for CAM Charges pay
                            one-twelfth (1/12) of an annually budgeted amount
                            per month (each a "Monthly CAM Reimbursement
                            Payment") during each calendar year. All Monthly CAM
                            Reimbursement Payments due and payable (regardless
                            of whether collected) under the Leases for the
                            calendar month in which Closing occurs shall be
                            pro-rated between Seller and Purchaser, on a per
                            diem basis, with Seller providing a credit to
                            Purchaser at Closing for its share of those Monthly
                            CAM Reimbursement Payments received by Seller based
                            on the number of days from and including the Closing
                            Date to the end of the month.

                    (ii)    At Closing, Seller will credit Purchaser with any
                            credit balance, if any, in any tenant's CAM charges
                            account. With respect to the period from January 1,
                            2004 to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall
                            work together in good faith after Closing to compare
                            on a tenant-by-tenant basis the actual CAM Charges
                            incurred by Seller with respect to such tenant and
                            the actual Monthly CAM Reimbursement Payments
                            received by Seller from such tenant up to the
                            Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser shall mutually
                            agree upon and sign a schedule that sets forth on a
                            tenant-by-tenant basis a reconciliation based upon
                            those actual expenses incurred by Seller and
                            reimbursements received by Seller (each a
                            "Reconciliation"). The Reconciliation shall be
                            completed not later than thirty (30) days after
                            Purchaser and the tenants of the Property have
                            reconciled CAM Charges for the 2004 calendar year
                            and Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, will
                            pay the other party, not later than ten (10) days
                            following completion of the Reconciliation, any
                            amount determined to be owing to such party

                                       13
<Page>

                    pursuant to the Reconciliation. Seller and Purchaser agree
                    to cooperate with each other in connection with the
                    reconciliation of percentage rent, CAM Charges and other
                    charges passed through to tenants under the Leases for
                    calendar year 2004.

          (e)       TAXES.

                    (i)     Lot 3 (described in Tract 1 on Exhibit A) is taxed
                            as a separate tax parcel and the Tenant of such lot
                            pays taxes directly, therefore, there shall be no
                            tax proration for Lot 3.

                    (ii)    All taxes and installments of special assessments
                            becoming due and accruing during the 2004 calendar
                            year for Lot 2 (described in Tract 1 on Exhibit A)
                            shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as
                            follows:

     On or before Closing, Seller will pay the second installment of taxes and
     installments for the 2003 tax year payable in May, 2004. At Closing, Seller
     will credit Purchaser for all (i) monthly amounts collected for real estate
     and other taxes and installments of special assessments from any tenant who
     pays estimated taxes on a monthly basis, (ii) monthly amounts for all
     spaces which were vacant for any portion of 2004 from January 1, 2004 until
     the earlier of (x) a tenant occupying such vacancy and paying estimated
     taxes on a monthly basis or (y) the Closing Date and (iii) monthly amounts
     from any tenant paying percentage rent in lieu of basic minimum rent from
     January 1, 2004 until such tenant has commenced or is anticipated to
     commence being responsible for payments of real estate taxes or special
     assessments for its leased premises.

          (f)       CALCULATION OF PRORATIONS. For purposes of calculating
                    prorations:

                    (i)     Purchaser shall be deemed to be in title to the
                            Property, and therefore entitled to the income
                            therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof,
                            through and including the Closing Date.

                    (ii)    All prorations shall be made on the basis of the
                            actual number of days of the applicable billing
                            period which shall have elapsed as of the Closing
                            Date and the actual number of days in such
                            applicable billing period.

                    (iii)   The amounts of all such prorations shall be final.

     20.  TRANSFER TO MEMBERS. Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to Closing,
Seller may distribute its assets, including the Property, to its members and
each member would then transfer its interest in the Property to Purchaser
pursuant to a separate special warranty deed as provided herein. Each member
will expressly assume the obligations of Seller hereunder and both the Seller
and each such member will be liable on a joint and several basis for Seller's
obligations under this Agreement. Any member may elect to affect the sale of the
Property as an

                                       14

exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Purchaser agrees
to cooperate in the accomplishment of these actions, provided that Purchaser
shall incur no liability or expense beyond those inherent in an acquisition of
the Property nor be delayed in the Closing.

     21.  CONFIDENTIALITY. The terms of this Agreement and any other information
disclosed to or received by Purchaser in connection with the sale of the
Property contemplated herein (the "Confidential Information"), is of a
confidential nature. Seller and Purchaser agree that such Confidential
Information will be kept confidential and will be disclosed only to those
employees, officers, directors, representatives, agents or advisors (i) that
require such information for the purpose of evaluating the transactions
described in this Agreement, (but to the extent practicable, only such part that
is so required) and (ii) who are informed of the confidential nature of such
Confidential Information and the obligation to not disclose the same. In the
event the sale of the Property does not close, Purchaser shall immediately
return all Confidential Information to Seller.

     22.  AS-IS CONDITION. Except for the express representations and warranties
of Seller set forth in the special warranty deed or this Agreement, Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that it will be purchasing the Property based solely
upon its inspections and investigations of the Property, and that Purchaser will
be purchasing the Property "as is" and "with all faults", based upon the
condition of the Property as of the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and
tear excepted and that Seller makes no warranty or representation, of any kind
or nature, express or implied, or arising by operation of law, including, but
not limited to, any warranty of condition, habitability, merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose, in respect of the Property. Purchaser hereby
releases Seller from any and all liability in connection with any claims which
Purchaser may have against Seller arising from any actions described herein.
Purchaser hereby agrees not to assert any claims for contribution, cost recovery
or otherwise, against Seller relating directly or indirectly to the existence of
asbestos or hazardous materials or substances on, or environmental conditions
of, the Property, whether known or unknown. The provisions of this section shall
survive the Closing and transfer of the special warranty deed.

     23.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, together with Exhibits A and B,
represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with
reference to the transactions set forth herein, and no representations,
warranties or covenants have been made in connection with this Agreement other
than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior
negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and
agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
and all prior drafts of this Agreement, all of which are merged into this
Agreement. The Exhibits attached hereto are a part of this Agreement as if fully
set forth herein.

     24.  ACCEPTANCE. This Agreement is presented to Seller for acceptance in
triplicate originals, executed by Purchaser, and shall be of no force or effect
unless on or before 5:00 p.m. on February 27, 2004, Purchaser has received two
originals duly executed by Seller evidencing Seller's acceptance hereof. If
Purchaser does not receive such duly-executed originals within that time, this
Agreement shall be of no force or effect.
