This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed on June 24, 2005 by Alvin E. Kite, Jr. (the “Reporting Person”) relating to the common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Kite Realty Group Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Issuer”). Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On June 7, 2007, JA Acquisition, LLC, a newly formed Indiana limited liability company (“JA Acquisition”) owned and controlled by the Reporting Person and his son, John A. Kite (“John Kite”), purchased 800,000 units of limited partnership interest (“Units”) in Kite Realty Group, L.P. (“Kite LP”) from Paul W. Kite, the Reporting Person’s son. Pursuant to the partnership agreement of Kite LP, upon the request of JA Acquisition, the 800,000 Units are redeemable for either cash or an equal number of Shares (at the option of the Issuer). The aggregate purchase price paid for the 800,000 Units was $16,616,000. The funds used to pay the purchase price were derived from bank loans obtained by the Reporting Person and John Kite, which amounts were then contributed to JA Acquisition by the Reporting Person and John Kite. The loan to the Reporting Person is secured by a pledge of 805,891 Units owned by the Reporting Person. John Kite also pledged certain Units on substantially the same terms.

 

Copies of the documents evidencing the Reporting Person’s loan are attached to this Schedule 13D/A as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively. Copies of the documents evidencing John Kite’s loan are attached to this Schedule 13D/A as Exhibits 3 and 4, respectively.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

(a) As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the purchase of the 800,000 Units by JA Acquisition, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 4,454,769 Shares, which represents approximately 13.68% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (based upon 32,571,307 Shares deemed outstanding after issuance of 3,573,564 Shares upon redemption of 3,573,564 Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and 85,000 Shares upon the exercise of stock options held by the Reporting Person).  Of the 4,454,769 Shares beneficially owned, the Reporting Person has the right to receive either cash or an equal number of Shares (at the option of the Issuer) upon the redemption (i) by JA Acquisition of the 800,000 Units, (ii) by the Reporting Person of 2,508,218 separate Units owned directly by him, (iii) by the Reporting Person of 192,307 separate Units held by the Alvin E. Kite, Jr. Centre Associates Irrevocable Trust, an irrevocable trust for the benefit of the Reporting Person’s son, and (iv) by the Reporting Person of 73,039 separate Units held by the Alvin E. Kite, Jr. 2004-8 REIT Grantor Retained Annuity Trust. The Reporting Person also has the right to acquire 85,000 Shares pursuant to stock options granted to the Reporting Person in connection with his employment by the Issuer. The Reporting Person also shares beneficial ownership of 61,845 Shares with the Reporting Person’s spouse. The remaining 734,360 Shares are held directly by the Reporting Person.

 

 


 

(b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of, and sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of, 3,592,924 Shares beneficially owned by him and has shared power to vote or direct the voting of, and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, 861,845 Shares beneficially owned by him. 

 

Item 6. 

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to

 

Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

As discussed in Item 3 above, the Reporting Person entered into a loan agreement and a pledge agreement in connection with the acquisition of the 800,000 Units by JA Acquisition. Copies of these documents are attached to this Schedule 13D/A as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

JA Acquisition was formed by the Reporting Person and John Kite for the purpose of purchasing the Units. The Reporting Person and John Kite are the sole members of JA Acquisition, and they each own fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding units of membership interests in JA Acquisition. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement of JA Acquisition (the “LLC Agreement”), each member of JA Acquisition has one vote per unit of membership interest in JA Acquisition on matters which the members may vote. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, JA Acquisition may only act by or under the authority of its members, acting unanimously as a group, and each member expressly agrees not to bind JA Acquisition absent authority granted pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement. In addition, JA Acquisition, under certain circumstances, has a right of first refusal with respect to the transfer of 845,712 Units owned by Paul Kite.

s.

Scheduled Maturity Date: The Original Maturity Date, unless and until the maturity of the Loan is extended in accordance with the terms of Section 6 hereof, in which case it shall thereafter mean the Extended Maturity Date.

 

5.

Default Rate:

 

a.

The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Prime Interest Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate" for the Loan, except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate" with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. While and so long as an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) is continuing, the Loan will bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

b.

Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option (the "LIBOR Rate Option") to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Prime Interest Rate.

 

c.

The only manner in which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Bank irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to Bank facsimile confirmation within twenty-four (24) hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. E.S.T time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Prime Interest Rate as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrower again exercises the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Bank shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the Prime Interest Rate. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). At no time may there be more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan.

 

d.

If Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Bank shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above,

 

 

or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Prime Interest Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.

 

e.

Interest on the Loan at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.

 

f.

Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs in respect of the Loan incurred from time to time by Bank upon demand; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for or obligated to pay for Breakage Costs, if any, resulting from any of the conditions or occurrences described in Section 5(d) of this Loan Agreement.

 

g.

If the introduction of or any change in any law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Bank to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London Interbank Market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated hereby, then (i) Bank shall notify Borrower that Bank is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (ii) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (iii) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Prime Interest Rate, and (iv) Borrower shall pay to Bank the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different term.

 

h.

Borrower recognizes that the cost to Bank of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Bank additional amounts to compensate Bank for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of:

 

i.

any change after the date hereof in any applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Loan Agreement to Bank (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Bank), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Bank (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on Bank, or the London Interbank Market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Bank under the Loan Documents for the Loan; or

 

ii.

the maintenance by Bank of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to "Eurocurrency Liabilities" of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).

 

i.

If the application of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the

 

 

foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank's capital to a level below that which Bank would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Bank with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.

 

j.

Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (h) or subsection (i) of this Section 5 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Bank setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Bank to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Bank's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Bank shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (h) or (i) of this Section 5, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Bank to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.

 

6.

Maturity: If not sooner paid, the entire principal balance outstanding, together with all unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Original Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan to the Extended Maturity Date upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall give the Bank written notice of Borrower's election to extend the term of the Loan no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the Original Maturity Date; (b) no Event of Default is continuing as of the Original Maturity Date; and (c) Borrower pays to the Bank an extension fee in an amount equal to Fifteen One-Hundredths of One Percent (15/100 of 1%) of the original amount of the Loan then outstanding.

 

7.

Loan Payments:

 

a.

On each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, the Borrower shall pay interest in arrears at the Applicable Rate(s) on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid through the last day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which such payment is due; and

 

b.

If on a Determination Date, the amount of the Loan exceeds the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall pay to Bank within fifteen (15) days after such Determination Date a principal payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the Loan as of such Determination Date to an amount equal to the Borrowing Base;

 

c.

In any and all events, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date.

Borrower may sell any of the Borrower Kite Units subject to the lien and security interest of the Kite Units Pledge Agreement, provided no Event of Default is the continuing and provided Borrower makes to Bank a principal payment in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the Loan immediately following such sale to an amount equal to Fifty Percent (50%) of the then market value (as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange) of the number of shares of beneficial interest (or other comparable equity interest of Kite) which would be subject to the lien and security interest of the Kite Units Pledge Agreement immediately following such sale (such a payment being referred to herein as a "Pledge Agreement Release Price"). Upon the receipt of such Pledge Agreement Release Price payment, Bank will execute a release of the

 

 

Kite Units Pledge Agreement from the beneficial interests for which such Pledge Agreement Release Price payment is made and will release all of its other security encumbering such interests.

 

8.

Prepayment: The Loan may be prepaid at any time, without premium or penalty; provided, however, no prepayment of all or part of the Loan shall be permitted unless the same is made together with the payment of all interest accrued on the Loan through the date of prepayment and an amount equal to all Breakage Costs incurred by Bank as a result of the prepayment. Any such prepayments shall be credited, first to the applicable Breakage Costs, then to accrued but unpaid interest, and the balance, if any, to the principal.

 

9.

Commitment Fee: A commitment fee of Twenty-Five Thousand Thirty-Five Dollars ($25,035) (the "Commitment Fee") shall be payable by Borrower to Bank in respect of the Loan The Commitment Fee shall be paid by Borrower to the Bank at the Closing.

Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Commitment Fee shall be for the applicable services rendered, supported by good, valuable and adequate consideration, and that the Commitment Fee, once paid, shall not be refundable for any reason.

 

10.

b.             Pledgor will warrant and defend his ownership of the Collateral and the security interest created by this Pledge Agreement against all claims of all other persons (other than Bank and persons claiming through Bank) and will maintain and preserve the Collateral and such security interest;

c.             without the prior written consent of the Bank (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Pledgor will not vote to enable KRGLP or Kite Realty to issue any stock or other securities of any nature in exchange or substitution for the Collateral;

d.             from time to time the Pledgor will, at the Pledgor’s expense, duly and promptly execute any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Bank may reasonably deem desirable to obtain the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under any Uniform Commercial Code, and the Pledgor also hereby authorizes Bank to file any such financing statement or continuation statement on his behalf to the extent permitted by applicable law; 

e.             whether before or after any Event of Default, the Pledgor shall hold all payments received upon liquidation or dissolution of KRGLP or Kite Realty or upon any distribution of any capital or property by KRGLP or Kite Realty in respect of the Collateral in trust for the Bank segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Pledgor deliver the same to the Bank in the same form as received by the Pledgor, duly endorsed by the Pledgor to Bank, if required (any such payments received by the Bank shall be held by the Bank subject to the terms of this Pledge Agreement and shall not be applied to the Obligations except as permitted by Paragraph 6 hereof);

f.             after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Pledgor shall hold all payments of every kind received under or in connection with any of the Collateral in trust for the Bank, segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Pledgor deliver the same to the Bank in the same form as received by the Pledgor, duly endorsed by the Pledgor to the Bank, if required;

g.             subject to the right of contest provided in Paragraph 3, the Pledgor will pay prior to delinquency all taxes and assessments against any of the Collateral;

h.             the Pledgor will not consent to, or vote for, any modification or amendment to, or the termination, suspension or cancellation of the Partnership Agreement that impairs the Bank’s interest in the Collateral without the prior written approval of Bank; and

i.              The Pledgor shall cause KRGLP and Kite Realty to enter into an Acknowledgment and Consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Pledgor shall cooperate with Bank in such actions undertaken or initiated by Bank as may be reasonably necessary under applicable law so that Bank has a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral.

5.             Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Bank or any agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or in the Bank’s name, from time to time in the Bank’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement, subject to the terms hereof, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement. The Pledgor hereby ratifies all that any such

 

4

attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor hereby grants to the Bank the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice to or consent by the Pledgor, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all Proceeds and, in the name of the Pledgor or in its own name or otherwise; (b) to take possession of and endorse and collect any check, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of Proceeds and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Bank for the purpose of collecting any and all such Proceeds whenever payable or for the purpose of protecting any right relative to the Collateral; (c) to pay or discharge taxes, assessments and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (d) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (e) to settle, compromise, renew, extend or adjust the Obligations or any rights constituting a part of the Collateral or any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges and releases as the Bank may deem appropriate; (f) to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Bank were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, including, without limitation, the execution, in connection with the sale of any of the Collateral, of any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer as may be necessary or appropriate; (g) to request the redemption of the Units for the Stock as permitted by the Partnership Agreement; (h) to the extent not already registered, to request the registration of the Stock by Kite Realty under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, which registration, if agreed to and undertaken by Kite Realty, shall be at Pledgor’s expense; (i) to request that Kite Realty or KRGLP file a supplement to any S-3 Registration Statement (or the prospectus forming a part thereof) which has now been filed or may hereafter be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission in respect of the Stock so that Bank or its nominee may be a selling shareholder, which filing, if agreed to and/or undertaken by Kite Realty and/or KRGLP, shall be at Pledgor's expense; and (j) generally, to do, at Bank’s option and at the Pledgor’s expense, at any time, from time to time, all acts and things which Bank deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Bank’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intents and purposes of this Pledge Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgor might do. The powers conferred upon the Bank hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

6.            Event of Default; Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may, itself or through one or more nominees, at its option (a) declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind; (b) take any action described in Paragraph 5 hereof; (c) appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Obligations, and in such order of application as the Bank may from time to time elect, the Collateral or any Proceeds thereof; (d) cause the Collateral to be registered in the name of the Bank or its nominee or cause new certificates evidencing the Collateral to be issued; (e) if the Units have not been redeemed for the Stock, become a limited partner of KRGLP and/or exercise all voting and ownership rights in respect of the Units at any meeting of KRGLP; (f) if the Units have been redeemed for the Stock, exercise all voting and corporate rights in respect of the Stock at any meeting of Kite Realty; (g) exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion, any and all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of KRGLP or Kite Realty, as the case may be, or upon the exercise by KRGLP or Kite Realty, as the case may be, or the Bank of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Collateral and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by the Bank; (h) sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels or lots at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Bank’s offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as the Bank may deem advisable and at such price as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right of the Bank upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived and released; and (i) exercise such other rights and remedies available to the Bank under the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code. In addition, in the event KRGLP or Kite Realty ceases to do business or becomes subject (voluntarily or involuntarily) to any type of insolvency, bankruptcy or rehabilitation proceeding or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the Bank may, itself or through one or more nominees, at its

 

5

option, takes the actions described in Sections 6(b)-(j) inclusive hereof. The Bank shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any or all of the Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of the Bank hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Bank may elect, and the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of collecting such deficiency, and only after so paying over such Proceeds and after the payment by the Bank of any amount required by any provision of law, the Bank shall account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgor. If the Pledgor is entitled to notice under applicable law, that requirement shall be met if the Bank sends notice at least seven (7) days prior to the date of sale, disposition or other event requiring notice, and such notice shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if mailed at least seven (7) days prior to such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to the Pledgor at the address of the Pledgor set forth below. No notification need be given to the Pledgor if he has signed after an Event of Default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or any intended disposition.

7.            Limitations on Bank’s Duty. Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Pledgor shall request in writing, but failure of the Bank to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure on the part of the Bank to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior parties or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral not so requested by the Pledgor shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. The Bank shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of powers herein conferred, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Pledgor for any act or failure to act or any delay in acting, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

8.            Registration. If Bank exercises the right to sell any or all of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, the Pledgor agrees to use his best efforts, at the sole expense of Pledgor and without expense to the Bank, to obtain all necessary approvals or exemptions from relevant governmental authorities for the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, including, without limitation, assistance in the preparation, submission and approval of any necessary registration statements under the state or federal securities laws. The Pledgor recognizes that Bank may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that the occurrence of any such private sale, in and of itself, shall not be deemed to have caused such sale to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner. Bank shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit KRGLP or Kite Realty, as the case may be, to register such securities for public sale under applicable laws, even if KRGLP or Kite Realty, as the case may be, is required to do so or would agree to do so.

9.             Waiver; Amendment. All rights and remedies of the Bank expressed hereunder are in addition to all other rights and remedies possessed by it. No delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the Bank permitted hereunder shall impair or affect the rights of the Bank in and to the Collateral. Notice of acceptance of this Pledge Agreement is hereby waived. None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Pledgor and the Bank.

10.           Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the Pledgor and his heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns.

11.          General. This Pledge Agreement has been made and delivered at Indianapolis, Indiana, and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana. Wherever possible each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Pledge

 

6

Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement. The masculine pronoun when used herein shall include the neuter and the feminine and also the plural. Section headings are for ease of reference only and shall not govern interpretation of any provisions hereof. Any taxes resulting to Pledgor upon the redemption of the Units for the Stock or from the sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall be the sole liability of Pledgor and Bank shall have no obligation resulting therefrom or in respect thereof.

12.           Waiver of Jury Trial.        To the full extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor hereby waives any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, between Bank and Pledgor arising out of, in connection with, related to, or incidental to this Pledge Agreement.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT

THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT (the “Agreement”) is made and dated as of this 7th day of June, 2007, by and among KITE REALTY GROUP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), KITE REALTY GROUP TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), ALVIN E. KITE, JR., a resident of the State of Indiana (the “Pledgor”), and the Bank (the “Lender”).

RECITALS:

 

13.

The Pledgor is a limited partner in the Partnership.

14.           The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Kite Realty Group, L.P. dated as of August 16, 2004, as amended and modified (the “Partnership Agreement”), authorizes the Pledgor to grant a bona fide security interest in his interests in the Partnership.

15.           The Pledgor represents that it is the borrower of a loan being made under that certain loan agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Pledgor and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Partnership Agreement.

16.           The Pledgor desires to pledge and encumber all or a portion of his interests in the Partnership to and in favor of the Lender as security for the loan made to Pledgor by the Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and to effect such pledge and encumbrance Pledgor has executed in favor of Lender a Pledge Agreement (Partnership Units), dated as of the date hereof (the “Pledge Agreement”).

17.           The Pledgor and the Lender desire to confirm with the Partnership and the General Partner the rights of the Lender to register ownership of the Pledgor’s interests in the Partnership in the name of the Lender or its nominee and certain other rights of the Lender

18.           The Partnership and the General Partner desire to provide their authorization and consent to the Pledgor to pledge and encumber all or a portion or the Pledgor’s interests in the Partnership in favor of the Lender.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and in order to induce the Lender to extend credit to the Pledgor in reliance upon this Agreement:

1.             The General Partner hereby certifies that a true and correct copy of the Partnership Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof is attached as Exhibit A hereto. The General Partner hereby certifies the Conversion Factor is, as of the date hereof, 1.0.

 

10

2.             The Partnership and the General Partner jointly and severally certify that the Pledgor is the registered owner of 805,891 Partnership Units (the “Pledgor Units”), which Pledgor Units are designated the Bank Pledged Units on the records of the Partnership, and that such Partnership Units are now redeemable in accordance with the terms of Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement.

3.             The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree, acknowledge and consent to the grant of a security interest by the Pledgor to the Lender in the Pledgor Units pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree that they will comply with instructions from the Lender with respect to the Pledgor Units and any Shares issued in respect thereof without further consent, instruction or direction by the Pledgor. The Partnership and the General Partner jointly and severally agree that, as requested by Pledgor, while this Agreement is in effect, they will not comply with any instructions of Pledgor with respect to the Pledgor Units and the Shares issued in respect thereof.

4.             The Partnership and the General Partner jointly and severally hereby acknowledge and agree that: (a) once this Agreement, together with all exhibits hereto, has been fully executed and delivered by the parties hereto and delivered to the Partnership, the pledge of, and the grant of a security interest in, the Pledgor Units will be recorded on the books of the Partnership; (b) the General Partner hereby approves and consents to the Pledgor’s pledge of, and grant of a security interest to the Lender in, the Pledgor Units; and (c) they will not require an opinion of counsel pursuant to Section 11.3(D) of the Partnership Agreement with respect to such pledge or grant of a security interest.

5.             The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally acknowledge and agree that they have no reason to believe that the security interest granted by the Pledgor to the Lender in the Pledgor Units pursuant to the Pledge Agreement does not constitute a grant of a security interest in a “bona fide security transaction” for purposes of Section 11.3 of the Partnership Agreement.

6.             The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally acknowledge and confirm that no written security interest in the Pledgor Units (other than the security interest of the Lender and security interests which have been previously released) has been received by or registered on the records of the Partnership.

7.             The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree, and the Lender hereby agrees, that by virtue of holding a security interest in the Pledgor Units (a) the Lender does not and shall not become a Substituted Limited Partner under the Partnership Agreement and (b) the Lender does not and shall not undertake any obligations or liabilities of any nature whatsoever arising from the Partnership Agreement or pertaining to the organization, formation, creation, operation or conduct of the Partnership or of any of its Partners.

8.             The Partnership and the General Partner jointly and severally hereby acknowledge and agree that upon the execution and delivery to the Lender by the Pledgor of this Agreement, all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto to which the Pledgor is a party, and a certification by the Lender that the Lender or its nominee is the lawful owner of the Pledged Units, the Pledgor will not, except as contemplated by Section 8.6(A) of the Partnership Agreement and Section 11 of this Agreement, be required to execute any other document or take any other action with respect to the redemption of the Pledgor Units in connection with the exercise of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement, and that the Lender will not be required to become a Substituted Limited Partner prior to exercising that Redemption Right.

9.             The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree, upon written notice from the Lender, to make any and all distributions of Partnership property allocable to the Pledgor Units directly to the Lender. The Pledgor authorizes the General Partner and the Partnership to make distributions directly to the Lender pursuant to this Section 11 upon receipt of such notice, in lieu of making distributions to the Pledgor. The Lender acknowledges that such distributions will be subject to withholding, pursuant to any applicable terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Lender agrees that, until the foregoing notice is provided, the Partnership may make distributions directly to the Pledgor.

10.           The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree that, except as contemplated by this Agreement, they will not register on the books of the Partnership any assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Pledgor Units, or any additional Partnership Units hereafter issued in respect of the Pledgor

 

11

Units, without the consent of the Lender. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Partnership issues any certificates for the Pledgor Units, it will deliver such certificates directly to the Lender.

11.           The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally agree that upon delivery to the Partnership by the Lender of a certification by the Lender that the Lender or its nominee is the lawful owner of the Pledged Units or any additional Partnership Units hereafter issued in respect of the Pledgor Units, if requested by the Lender, the Partnership will register ownership of such Partnership Units in the name of the Lender or its nominee and the Lender or its nominee shall thereafter, among other rights, have the immediate right to redeem such Partnership Units in accordance with Section 8.6(A) of the Partnership Agreement, provided that any request for such redemption shall be made on the form of Notice of Redemption attached to the Partnership Agreement as Exhibit D (the “Notice of Redemption”), which shall be signed, at the discretion of the Lender, by the Lender or its nominee, and further provided that (a) if upon any such redemption, the General Partner elects to purchase the Pledgor Units for its own account pursuant to Section 8.6(B) of the Partnership Agreement, the purchase price payable by the General Partner on such redemption shall be paid directly to the Lender or its nominee, (b) if the General Partner does not so elect, the Partnership shall, with respect to the Shares Amount then payable pursuant to Section 8.6(B) of the Partnership Agreement, as directed in writing by the Lender or its nominee, issue such Shares in the name set forth in the Notice of Redemption and, deliver the shares as a physical certificate or electronically via Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) to the address or account set forth in the Notice of Redemption and (c) if cash is paid in lieu of payment of the Shares Amount, make such cash payment directly to the Lender or its nominee. The Partnership, the General Partner, Pledgor and Lender agree that, notwithstanding the terms, conditions and provisions of the Partnership Agreement, if Lender or its nominee tenders a Notice of Redemption in accordance with Section 8.6(A) of the Partnership Agreement, for the purpose of the Partnership Agreement the “Specified Redemption Date” applicable to the redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice shall mean the fifteenth Business Day after receipt by the General Partner of such Notice of Redemption or such shorter period as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; provided that, if the Shares are not then Publicly Traded, the Specified Redemption Date means the thirtieth Business Day after receipt by the General Partner of such Notice of Redemption. The Partnership and the General Partner hereby jointly and severally acknowledge and agree that any Shares issued in accordance with this Section 11 to the Lender or its nominee will have been fully registered under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as provided in Section 8.6(B) of the Partnership Agreement, and that such Shares will not be subject to any contractual restriction imposed by the Partnership or the General Partner on the resale thereof.

12.           This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect until the Lender sends a written notice to the Partnership or the General Partner that this Agreement has been released.

13.           The Lender hereby agrees that the Lender shall exchange or redeem for the Redemption Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held by it simultaneously with the time at which the Lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to the Lender under Section 753 of the Code.

14.           In order to induce the Partnership and the General Partner to execute and deliver this Agreement and in consideration thereof, the Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Partnership and the General Partner, and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) which an Indemnified Person may incur which result from, are based upon or arise out of the pledge described herein, the action or inaction of the Partnership or the General Partner, the action or inaction of the Pledgor, and/or the action or inaction of the Lender, other than such liabilities and expenses which result from, are based upon or arise out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Partnership or the General Partner. In no event shall the Partnership or the General Partner be held liable to the Pledgor for any payment made to the Lender or its designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

15.           This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Indiana. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Other than as outlined in Section 11 of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended,

 

12

modified, cancelled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Partnership, the General Partner and the Lender.

This Agreement is entered into as of the date first set forth above.
