Century III and William Penn, individually and collectively, as the context may
require, "BORROWER") on the date hereof in the principal amount of
$232,408,000.00 (the "LOAN"), which Loan is evidenced by a certain Loan
Agreement of even date herewith given executed by Borrower, Lender and Inland
Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as Borrower
Principal (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), and a certain Consolidated Promissory Note of
even date herewith given by Borrower to Lender (the "NOTE"), secured by, among
other things, those certain Mortgages (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Loan Agreement.

          Borrower has requested the Lender to fund the Loan, notwithstanding
Borrower's inability to deliver certain documents, evidences and showings
relating thereto, as expressly described below. The Lender, subject to the
satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to the making of the Loan, is
willing to proceed with the funding of the Loan, subject to Borrower's
compliance with the terms of this letter agreement. Accordingly, to induce the
Lender to make the Loan, the Borrower agrees to satisfy all of the following
post-closing requirements in a manner acceptable to Lender (collectively, the
"POST-CLOSING REQUIREMENTS"):

<Page>

          1.   Within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, Borrower shall (i)
deliver to each of the Tenants at the Individual Properties located in the State
of New York, via registered mail with return receipt requested, a complete and
fully executed notice letter by Gardiner, Mid-Hudson, Wilton or Westbury (as
applicable) per Section 291-f of the Real Property Law of New York in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and made a part hereof (the "291-f LETTERS"), and
(ii) provide Lender evidence acceptable to Lender confirming delivery of the
291-f Letters to the Tenants at the Individual Properties located in the State
of New York.

          2.   Borrower shall (i) cause the fire code violations referenced in
the Planning and Zoning Resources report previously delivered to Lender

Wilkins, Pennsylvania and owned by William Penn, more particularly described as
the improper location of the storage cage that holds cylinders of LPG (propane
gas) (the "VIOLATIONS"), to be cured (removed from direct sunlight and not
impeding egress of sidewalk areas) and removed of record within one hundred
twenty (120) days of the date hereof, and (ii) provide Lender evidence
acceptable to Lender of such cure and removal of record; provided, however, if
the Violations cannot be cured and removed of record within one hundred twenty
(120) days and Borrower shall have commenced to cure the Violations within such
one hundred twenty (120) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously
proceeds to cure the same, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be
extended for so long as it shall require Borrower in the exercise of due
diligence to cure the Violations; provided that Borrower shall deliver to
Lender, on a bi-monthly basis, a letter advising Lender of the status of the
clearance of the Violations;

          3.   Within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, Borrower shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Lender an original subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement (a "SNDA") from each of the tenants
listed on EXHIBIT B attached hereto and made a part hereof (individually and
collectively, as the context may require, "TENANT") in substantially the form
distributed to Borrower by Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan
(with such changes thereto as may be reasonably acceptable to Lender) executed
and notarized by each Tenant; and

          4.   Within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, Borrower shall
furnish to Lender, in a form acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion,
Operations and Maintenance Plans regarding Asbestos Containing Materials
pertaining to the following three (3) Individual Properties: (i) Golfland Plaza
of Orange, Connecticut, owned by Orange 53, (ii) Mid-Hudson Center of
Poughkeepsie, New York, owned by Mid-Hudson, and (iii) Wilton Square of Saratoga
Springs, New York, owned by Wilton; and

          5.   Within ten (10) days of the date hereof, Borrower shall furnish
to Lender an executed and notarized Ground Lease Estoppel and Agreement (the
"ESTOPPEL") from the Ground Lessor at the Individual Property commonly known as
Mid-Hudson Center of Poughkeepsie, New York, in the form attached hereto and
made a part hereof as EXHIBIT C, with such changes thereto as may be acceptable
to Lender in its sole discretion.

          All acts of Borrower to be performed hereunder shall be at the
applicable Borrower's sole cost and expense and shall be satisfactory to Lender

          Notice is hereby given to you as the present holder of the tenant's
interest under the above lease that Bank of America, N.A. (the "LENDER") has

at [_________________________] (the "PROPERTY"), as more particularly described
therein, a portion of which premises were demised under the above lease. As
further and additional security for the mortgage loan, the above lease was

not enter in any Leases (as defined below) for all or any portion of the
Property unless in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

     Section 5.13 of the Loan Agreement provides as follows:

     (a) Borrower may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or
extension of an existing Lease (a "RENEWAL LEASE")) without the prior written
consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides
for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms
(taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such
Lease is executed by Borrower (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent
payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent,
is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arm's-length transaction with
a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not have a materially
adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, (iv) is subject
and subordinate to the Mortgage which is a lien on the Property and the Tenant
thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender, (v) does not contain any option, offer,
right of first refusal, or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of
the Property, (vi) has a base term of less than fifteen (15) years including
options to renew, (vii) has no rent credits, free rents or concessions granted
thereunder, other than commercially reasonable tenant improvement allowances and
commercially reasonable rent abatements consistent with other comparable leases
within the local market and (viii) is written on the standard form of lease
approved by Lender. All proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements
set forth in this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender
and its counsel, at Borrowers' expense. Borrowers shall promptly deliver to
Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this subsection
together with the certification of the Borrower executing the Lease as landlord
that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section.

     (b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon
the landlord under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to
impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the debt underlying the
Loan; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which
Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the
material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part
of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any
of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except security deposits shall
not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) shall not execute any other
assignment of the landlord's interest in any of the Leases or the Rents; and
(vi) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Leases not
in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender.

     (c) Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, amend,
modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce Rents under,
accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease (including
any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto)
provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination,
reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned
alternative use of the affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect
on the value of the Individual Property

<Page>

taken as a whole, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived,
is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Loan Agreement and any
subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A
termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice
and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially
adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any amendment,
modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term
shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection
shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower's
expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of amendments,
modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this subsection
together with a certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of
this subsection.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew,
extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce Rents under,
accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of any Major Lease.

As used herein, "LEASE" and "LEASES" shall mean any and all leases, subleases,
subsubleases, lettings, licenses, concessions or other agreements (whether
written or oral) pursuant to which any Person is granted a possessory interest
in, or right to use or occupy all or any portion of the real property described
as the Property, and the buildings, structures, fixtures, additions,
enlargements, extensions, modifications, repairs, replacements and improvements
now or hereafter erected or located on the Property, and every modification,
amendment or other agreement relating to such leases, subleases, subsubleases,
or other agreements entered into in connection with such leases, subleases,
subsubleases, or other agreements and every guarantee of the performance and
observance of the covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed and
observed by the other party thereto, heretofore or hereafter entered into,
whether before or after the filing by or against Borrower of any petition for
relief under any creditors rights laws.

As used herein, "MAJOR LEASE" shall mean (i) any Lease which, individually or
when aggregated with all other leases at the Property with the same tenant or
its affiliate, either (A) accounts for seven and one-half percent (7 1/2%) or
more of such Property's aggregate retail income, or (B) demises 7,500 square
feet or more of such Property's gross leasable area, (ii) any Lease which
contains any option, offer, right of first refusal or other similar entitlement
to acquire all or any portion of such Property, or (iii) any instrument
guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Lease meeting the requirements
of (i) or (ii) above.

As used herein, "RENTS" shall mean all right, title and interest of Borrower,
its successors and assigns therein and thereunder, including, without
limitation, cash or securities deposited thereunder to secure the performance by
the lessees of their obligations thereunder and all rents, additional rents,
rent equivalents, moneys payable as damages or in lieu of rent or rent
equivalents, royalties (including, without limitation, all oil and gas or other
mineral royalties and bonuses), income, receivables, receipts, revenues,
deposits (including, without limitation, security, utility and other deposits),
accounts, cash, issues, profits, charges for services rendered, and other
consideration of whatever form or nature received by or paid to or for the
account of or benefit of Borrower or its agents or employees from any and all
sources arising from or attributable to the Property, including, all
receivables, customer obligations, installment payment obligations and other
obligations now existing or hereafter arising or created out of the sale, lease,
sublease, license, concession or other grant of the right of the use and
occupancy of property or rendering of services by Borrower or any property
manager and proceeds, if any,

<Page>

from business interruption or other loss of income insurance whether paid or
accruing before or after the filing by or against Borrower of any petition for
relief under any creditors rights laws.

                        MID-HUDSON GROUND LESSOR ESTOPPEL

                       GROUND LEASE ESTOPPEL AND AGREEMENT

          WHEREAS, MidHudson Center, L.L.C. ("LANDLORD") is the holder of the
landlord's interest in that certain Ground Lease dated as of July 7, 1999 and as
evidenced by a certain Memorandum of Lease, dated February 22, 2000, recorded
March 10, 2000 under document number 02-2000-2237 in the official land records
of Dutchess County, New York (such lease, as heretofore or hereafter amended,
modified, or assigned the "LEASE") with Starwood Ceruzzi Poughkeepsie LLC
(collectively, with its successors in interest, Inland Western Poughkeepsie
Mid-Hudson, L.L.C., "TENANT" or "BORROWER");

          WHEREAS, Borrower is desirous of obtaining a loan (the "LOAN") from
BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, a wholly owned subsidiary
of BankAmerica Corporation, and having its principal offices in Charlotte, North
Carolina (together with its successors and/or assigns the "LENDER"), which such
Loan shall be secured by a certain Mortgage and Agreement of Consolidation and
Modification of Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Security Agreement
given by Borrower to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware
stock corporation, in its capacity as the nominee of Lender (the "SECURITY
INSTRUMENT") which shall encumber Tenant's interest in the Lease which encumbers
the property more particularly described on EXHIBIT A attached hereto (the
"PROPERTY");

          WHEREAS, Lender is unwilling to make the Loan unless Landlord makes
the representations, covenants and agreements set forth herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents, covenants and agrees
this ________ day of _____________, 2005 as follows:

     1.   Landlord hereby consents to the Loan by Lender and confirms that
     Lender is a "Leasehold Mortgagee" under the Lease.

     2.   Landlord hereby certifies as follows:

               (a)      Landlord is the owner of the fee estate in the Property
          and is the landlord under the Lease.

               (b)      Tenant is the owner of the leasehold estate in the
          Property and is the tenant under the Lease.

               (c)      The Lease is in full force and effect in accordance
          with its terms and has not been further assigned, supplemented,
          modified or otherwise amended, orally or in writing, except as set
          forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto and each of the obligations on
          Landlord's part to be performed to date under the Lease or under any
          other agreement described in EXHIBIT B attached hereto have been
          performed.

<Page>

               (d)      To the best of Landlord's knowledge, each of the
          obligations on Tenant's part to be performed to date under the Lease
          or under any other agreement described in EXHIBIT B attached hereto
          have been performed.

               (e)      To the best of Landlord's knowledge, Tenant has no
          offsets, counterclaims, defenses, deductions or credits whatsoever
          with respect to the Lease, or any amounts owing under any other
          agreement described in EXHIBIT B attached hereto.

               (f)      None of the matters set forth in EXHIBIT B attached
          hereto are untrue or incorrect and, without limitation on the
          foregoing, there are, with respect to the Lease, no options to renew
          or extend, and no security deposits escrows or prepaid rent or liens,
          except as set forth herein. Tenant does not have any rights to
          purchase the Property. Tenant's exercise of any rights of first
          refusal, options to renew, extend or terminate the Ground Lease or
          purchase any portion of the Property shall not be effective unless
          consented to in writing by Lender.

               (g)      Except as set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto, there
          do not exist any other agreements (including, without limitation,
          subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements) concerning
          the Property, whether oral or written between Landlord and Tenant (or
          their respective predecessors or successors) under the Lease.

               (h)      As of the date hereof, no basic rent or additional rent
          is due from Tenant under the Lease. The rent payable under the Lease
          is currently $30,000 annually plus any amount payable as "Additional
          Rent" (as defined in the Lease) (such sums, collectively, the "RENT").
          There are no other rents, additional rents or other charges due and
          payable under the Lease other than the Rent.

               (i)      Tenant does not make any type of escrow deposits with
          Landlord, and Landlord does not hold any type of deposit from Tenant
          (for security or otherwise), except for________________________. The
          amount of any such deposit currently held by Landlord is
          $_______________.

               (j)      The term commencement date of the Lease was February 15,
          2000, and the initial term of the Lease shall expire on February 15,
          2048 (the "EXPIRATION DATE"). Tenant does not have any rights to
          renew, extend or terminate the Ground Lease, except
          for________________________[None].

               (k)      Neither Landlord nor Tenant has assigned the Lease or
          its interest in the Property. No portion of the Property has been
          sublet except_______________.

               (1)      Landlord has not assigned, conveyed, transferred, sold,
          encumbered or mortgaged its interest in the Lease or the Property and
          there are currently no mortgages, deeds of trust or other security
          interests encumbering Landlord's fee interest in the Property and no
          third party has an option or preferential right to purchase all or any
          part of the fee interest in the Property. Landlord agrees that if it
          elects to encumber the fee interest in the Property, Landlord will
          cause any such lender to enter into an agreement with Lender that is
          reasonably satisfactory to Lender to evidence the subordination of any
          lien relating thereto to the lien created by the Security Instrument
          and to Tenant's interest in the Ground Lease.

<Page>

               (m)      Landlord has not received written notice of any pending
          eminent domain proceedings and Landlord has not received any notice
          that it is in violation of any governmental law or regulation
          applicable to its fee interest in the Property and its operation
          thereon, including, without limitation, any environmental laws or the
          Americans with Disabilities Act, and has no reason to believe that
          there are grounds for any claim or such violation.

               (n)      No bankruptcy proceedings, whether voluntary or
          otherwise, are pending, or to Landlord's knowledge, threatened,
          against Landlord

               (o)      The Property is separate assessed and taxed as its own
          tax parcel by all applicable taxing authorities.

               (p)      The Lease attached hereto as EXHIBIT C is a true,
          correct and complete copy thereof.

               3.   Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that the Lease shall
not be modified, terminated, amended, altered, subordinated or cancelled, nor
shall a surrender of the property demised under the Lease (the "PREMISES") be
accepted by Landlord before the Expiration Date without the prior written
consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and that any such
action taken without Lender's consent shall not be binding on Borrower or Tenant
or Lender.

               4.   The parties hereto acknowledge that the current use of the
Property is a permitted use under the terms of the Lease.

               5.   Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that Landlord shall
deliver to Lender at the address set forth below (or such other address as may
be designated by Lender) written notice of any default by Tenant under the Lease
simultaneously with sending such notice to Tenant and that no notice of default
given to Tenant, and no exercise of any remedy by Landlord as a result of any
such default, shall be effective unless such notice shall have been delivered to
Lender. Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that Lender shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to cure any default by Tenant under the Lease and Lender
shall be afforded (a) sixty (60) days to cure any such default, (b) in the event
that any such default cannot, with reasonable diligence, be cured within such
sixty (60) day period, such longer time as may be required to complete such
cure, provided Lender notifies Landlord of its intention to cure such default
and Lender promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure to completion,
and (c) in the event that such default is incapable of cure by Lender, such time
as may be required for Lender to gain possession of Tenant's interest under the
Lease pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and Security Instrument,
provided Lender notifies Landlord of its intention to cure such default and
Lender promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure to completion.

               WHEN SENDING NOTICE TO LENDER, SEND TO: Bank of America, N.A.
Attn: Capital Markets Servicing Group, CA9-703-26-10, P.O. Box 3609, Los
Angeles, California 90051

               6.   Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have the right to
assign or sublet Tenant's interest under the Lease to Lender, its successors or
assigns, without the consent of Landlord, and in the event that Tenant's
interest under the Lease is so assigned or sublet to Lender, its successors or
assigns (as applicable, the "ASSIGNEE"), such Assignee shall have the

<Page>

right to further assign or sublet the Tenant's interest in the Lease without the
need to obtain the consent of Landlord. The Assignee shall not be liable for any
act, omission and/or breach of the Ground Lease by any prior tenant, and the
Assignee shall only be liable for obligations under the Ground Lease first
arising from and after the date the Assignee acquires the leasehold estate. The
Assignee shall have the right to assign and transfer the Ground Lease without
first obtaining Landlord's consent. Upon any transfer or assignment of the
Ground Lease by the Assignee, the Assignee shall be automatically released and
discharged from all liability thereafter accruing under the Ground Lease.

               7.   Upon Lender's written request, Landlord shall provide Lender
with an estoppel certificate which shall certify to Lender (a) as to the amount
and status of all rent payments and security deposits under the Lease, (b) as to
the full satisfaction and compliance by Tenant of any other conditions required
under the Lease, (c) that Tenant is not in default in the payment, performance
or observance of any other condition or covenant to be performed or observed by
Tenant thereunder, (d) that there are no offsets or counterclaims on the part of
Landlord, and (e) as to such other matters related to the Lease as Lender may
reasonably determine from time to time.

               8.   There shall be no merger of the Lease or any interest in the
Lease or of the leasehold estate created thereby with the fee estate in the
Property, by reason of the fact that the Lease or such interest therein, or such
leasehold estate may be directly or indirectly held by or for the account of any
person who shall hold the fee estate in the Property, or any interest in such
fee estate, nor shall there be such a merger by reason of the fact that all or
any part of the leasehold estate created by the Lease may be conveyed or
mortgaged in a leasehold mortgage or deed of trust to a mortgagee or beneficiary
who shall hold the fee estate in the Property or any interest of Landlord under
the Lease.

               9.   Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that, in the event that
the Lease is terminated for any reason including, without limitation, as a
result of a rejection of the Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, Landlord shall
enter into a new ground lease with Lender and such new ground lease shall be
upon the same terms and conditions of the unexpired term of the Lease
immediately prior to such termination.

               10.  Landlord hereby confirms with respect to the new ground
lease referred to in paragraph 9 above that, should Lender become the tenant
under a new lease:

               (a)  title to all improvements now owned by Tenant, situate on
                    the Premises shall automatically vest in Lender; and

               (b)  Landlord shall promptly assign to Lender all space leases
                    and subleases under which the tenants have attorned, with
                    consent of Lender, to Landlord.

               11.  In the event of a casualty or condemnation to the Property,
the terms and conditions of the Security Instrument shall prevail.

               12.  All of the leasehold mortgagee protection provisions
contained in the Lease that inure to the benefit of leasehold mortgagees or
their successors and assigns, are hereby incorporated into this Ground Lease
Estoppel and Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") by reference and restated and
confirmed by Landlord for the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns.

<Page>

               13.  Landlord hereby agrees that Lender shall have the right,
pursuant to the terms of the Lease, to exercise any option to renew the term of
the Lease if the Tenant shall fail to exercise any such option.

               14.  Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that Lender shall be
entitled to participate in any arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Lease.

               15.  Landlord's interest, if any, in and to any personal property
owned by Tenant and located at the Property and any subleases entered into by
Tenant for all or any portion of the Property and the rents, issues and profits
therefrom are and shall remain subordinate to the lien of the Security
Instrument.

               16.  Landlord agrees not to disturb the possession of any
subtenants under subleases so long as such subtenants do not violate any terms
of the Lease.

               17.  This Agreement and the representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein are given with the understanding that this Agreement
constitutes a material inducement for Lender in making the Loan to Borrower and
that Lender shall rely hereon in making the Loan to Borrower. Lender may at any
time, without Landlord's consent, sell, assign, participate or securitize all or
any portion of Lender's rights and obligations under the Security Instrument,
and any such sale, assignment, participation or securitization may be to one or
more financial institutions or other entities, to private investors, and/or into
the public securities market, in Lender's sole discretion. This Agreement and
the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns (including, without
limitation, each and every owner and holder of the Loan, each person who,
pursuant to proceedings to enforce the Security Instrument or conveyance in lieu
of such proceedings, may succeed to Tenant's interest under the Lease and each
person who may thereafter acquire Tenant's interest under the Lease by purchase
or otherwise) and shall be binding on Landlord, its heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns and Landlord further agrees that this
Agreement may be relied upon by Lender, its successors and assigns and any
nationally recognized statistical rating agency rating any securities issued in
connection with the Loan or any portion thereof. To the extent that there are
any conflicts between the terms of this Estoppel and the Lease, the terms of
this Estoppel shall control.

               18.  This instrument may be recorded in the applicable recording
office in the County and State in which the Property is located.

               19.  In compliance and fulfillment of the requirements under
Section 5.1 of the Lease, Landlord and Lender agree that if Lender takes
possession of the Property, either as the result of foreclosure of the Security
Instrument or accepting a deed to the Property in lieu of foreclosure, or
otherwise, Lender agrees to attorn to the Landlord and recognize the Landlord as
its landlord under the Lease, and the Landlord shall recognize and accept the
Lender as its tenant thereunder, whereupon, the Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as a direct lease between the Lender and the Landlord for the
full term thereof, together with all extensions and renewals thereof.
