(p) a notice to each tenant under a Lease in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto, executed by Borrower informing the tenant of the change of ownership;
 
(q) possession of all of the Property; and
 
(r) evidence that Borrower has terminated the management agreement referred to in Section 2.11 above, and certification from the manager that no amount is outstanding under such agreements;
 
4.6.2 As a condition precedent to the obligations of Borrower and Guarantor under this Agreement, Lender and Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Borrower and Guarantor:
 
(a) a release in the form of Exhibit F-2 attached hereto.
 
4.7 Reserve/Escrow Account.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any balance as of the Closing Date in any reserve or escrow account maintained by Lender or U.S. Bank in connection with any Loan shall be retained by Lender to be applied  by Lender in Lender's sole and absolute discretion.
 
4.8 Recording and Delivery of Deed.  Subject to the fulfillment of the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties shall direct Title Company to immediately cause the Deeds to be recorded in the Official Records of Sacramento County and Riverside County, as applicable, and to deliver the Lender Title Endorsements to Lender and the Buyer Title Policies to Buyer concurrently therewith.

4.10 [Intentionally Omitted]
 
4.11 Obligations of Lender to Third Parties.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that acceptance by Lender or Buyer of title to the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not create any obligations on the part of Lender or Buyer, or any of their
 
 
-12-

 
respective successors and assigns, to third parties which may have claims, demands, or causes of action of any kind against Borrower or any portion of the Property.  Lender does not assume or agree to discharge any such claims, demands or causes of action which were made or arose prior to the Closing.  Moreover, Lender has not agreed, and will not agree, to assume or incur any liability or responsibility with respect to:  (a) any expenses or income or sales taxes incurred or accrued by Borrower or any receiver prior to the date of recording of the Deeds or the completion of any Foreclosure Action (as defined below), or (ii) except as expressly set forth in the Closing Documents, any other obligation or liability of Borrower.  Attached  to this Agreement as Schedule 2.7 is a list of current outstanding accounts payable in connection with the operation of the Property ("Accounts Payable").  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that the Accounts Payable are valid expenses with respect to the operation of the Property and that such expenses were incurred in the ordinary course of business.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of invoices and such other information as Lender may reasonably require to verify the Accounts Payable.  Subject to Lender's right to verify that the Accounts Payable are valid expenses with respect to the operation of the Property and that such expenses were incurred in the ordinary course of business with respect to the operation of the Property, subject to Lender's receipt of cash from the Property sufficient to pay such amounts, Lender will pay all Accounts Payable which have been verified by Lender promptly after Closing, but neither Lender nor Buyer expressly assumes any obligation with respect to any Account Payable.  The immediately preceding sentence notwithstanding, subject to Lender's receipt of cash from the Property sufficient to pay such amount, at Closing, Lender will pay to Premier Centers Management, Inc., accrued and unpaid management fees in the approximate amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).  Borrower may provide an update to Schedule 2.7 as of the Closing Date, which shall be subject to Lender's review and approval as noted above.
 
4.12 Standstill.  During the term of this Agreement, the parties agree not to take any further actions with respect to the Riverside County Litigation, the pending non-judicial foreclosures commenced by Lender with respect to the Deeds of Trust and the Receivership Actions (as hereinafter defined).  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing standstill is not intended to, and shall not, toll any time period with respect to the pending non-judicial foreclosures.
 
5. Covenant Not to Sue.
 
5.1 Covenant Not to Sue.
 
5.1.1 If and only if the Closing occurs, then, upon the Closing Date, Lender, for itself and for Buyer and their respective successors and assigns, shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed, except as expressly set forth herein, not to bring, file or commence any action, suit, claim or cause of action against Borrower and/or Guarantor with respect to any obligation under the Loan Documents including any deficiency (with the exception of mandatory counter or cross-claims); provided, however, that the foregoing covenant and agreement shall in no event extend to the continuing liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Guarantor relating to, arising out of, or in connection with the breach of any representation, warranty, indemnity, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any of the documents or instruments delivered at Closing or to any indemnities in favor of Lender under the following Indemnity Agreements executed in favor of U.S. Bank, as predecessor in interest to Lender:  Indemnity

(a) Borrower and/or Guarantor shall take any act or make any claim of rescission of this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents; or
 
(b) a court of competent jurisdiction determines that (or any claim is made by Borrower, Guarantor or any third party, other than by Lender or Buyer in bankruptcy, that) the transfer of the Property to Buyer or the receipt of any funds by any party hereunder constitutes a preference or a fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise sets aside or holds ineffective such transfer of the Property or such funds.
 
5.1.3 The foregoing covenant and agreement in Section 5.1.1 notwithstanding:
 
(a)           In the event that any draw on that certain Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit number SLCSSEA02576 in the face amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) issued by U.S. Bank for the benefit of Wachovia Bank, National Association as Master Servicer on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, Minnesota, NA, as Trustee for the benefit of the Certificate Holders of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series WB/UBS 2005-C16 for the account of LIC (herein, the "Gilroy Letter of Credit"),, and neither LIC nor any other Borrower or Guarantor reimburses Lender for the amount of such draw within ninety (90) days after Lender's demand for reimbursement with respect thereto, then notwithstanding Section 5.1.1, Lender shall have the right to enforce the following documents to recover such amounts: (a) the obligations of Lakha Investment Co., LLC with respect to that certain Continuing Reimbursement Agreement for Standby Letters of Credit dated July 25, 2006 between Lakha Investment Co., LLC and U.S. Bank National Association, as predecessor in interest to Lender, and (b) the obligations of Amin S.

-14-

 
(b)           If Borrower and/or Guarantor files for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code within twelve (12) months after Closing, and as a result thereof Lender or Buyer incurs any material liability or cost to respond or defend Lender, Buyer or the Property in connection with any such bankruptcy filing, Borrower and/or Guarantor shall indemnify Lender and Buyer for such liability or cost, and Lender and/or Buyer shall have the right to bring an action against Borrower and/or Guarantor to recover the same.
 
5.1.4   The foregoing covenants and agreements shall not defeat, limit or otherwise affect any right of Lender to commence or complete foreclosure proceedings under any Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents.
 
5.1.5 Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the obligations under each Note and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, to enable Lender to foreclose each Deed of Trust if Lender elects to do so in Lender's sole and absolute discretion.
 
5.1.6 The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive Closing.
 
6. Bankruptcy.
 
6.1 Relief From Automatic Stay.  Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration of the recitals and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, in the event Borrower and/or Guarantor shall (a) file a petition for relief with any bankruptcy court or otherwise be the subject of any petition filed under the Bankruptcy Code, (b) be the subject of any order for relief issued under the Bankruptcy Code, (c) file or be the subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for debts, (d) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator, (e) be the subject of any order, judgment or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief for debts, then neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall raise any objection or defense of any kind or nature or otherwise prevent, hinder or delay (x) any attempt by Lender to obtain relief from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, or (y) the exercise by Lender of any or all of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender, as provided in the applicable Loan Documents and/or this Agreement, and as otherwise provided by law.

-15-

 
Lender and acknowledge and agree as follows:  (a) Borrower and Guarantor do not currently intend to file a bankruptcy petition and have no intention of seeking a non-consensual plan of reorganization in any bankruptcy forum; (b) any attempt to sell the Property or otherwise reorganize Borrower's financial affairs and to pay and perform Borrower's obligations to Lender would be fruitless and impracticable to achieve; (c) any filing by Borrower of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the exercise of like or similar rights by Borrower prior to satisfaction in full of the indebtedness to Lender under the Loan Documents would be inconsistent with and contrary to the intentions of the parties hereto and made only with the intention of hindering or delaying Lender in the enforcement of Lender's rights as a secured creditor; (d) Borrower cannot formulate or implement a successful plan of reorganization in any such proceeding (whether in bankruptcy or under a like proceeding) which would adequately and sufficiently protect the rights of Lender or enable Borrower to satisfy Borrower's obligations to Lender; (e) in light of the foregoing, any such filing would be made in bad faith, as such term is used by courts in construing the Bankruptcy Code, as to Lender and only with the intention to hinder or delay Lender from exercising its rights and remedies as to the obligations of Borrower to Lender (whether hereunder or otherwise) and the Property (and/or other collateral) securing such obligations; (f) in light of the foregoing, if any voluntary or involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy or under like laws granting relief to Borrower is filed by or against Borrower, Lender shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies set forth in this Section 6 or otherwise in this Agreement, have the right to seek and obtain immediate relief from any stay and to have the exclusivity period for the filing of any plan of reorganization terminated, and Borrower hereby waives any objection or opposition in any manner to the relief requested by Lender or the termination of any such exclusivity period in a bankruptcy proceeding; and (g) Borrower shall not solicit, assist or encourage any third party to file an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Borrower.  Lender is relying on, among other things, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 6.2 in entering into this Agreement.
 
7. Consent to Foreclosure.
 
7.1 General.  Without in any way limiting the terms and provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof, Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that Lender has commenced Foreclosure Actions in connection with the Loans and the Property and that, at any time, if Lender, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, determines that it is in Lender's best interest to do so, Lender shall be entitled under this Agreement, without any prior notice whatsoever to Borrower, to (a) prosecute through completion, in Lender's sole discretion, a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure action or public sale under applicable law pursuant to the applicable Deed of Trust (each, a "Foreclosure Action") and to have the Property sold in one or more foreclosure or public sales (as the case may be), and (b) obtain any judicial order confirming or approving any such sale(s).  In connection with any Foreclosure Action, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall, as applicable (which applicability shall be determined by Lender in Lender's sole discretion):  (i) accept service of process from Lender of a summons and complaint and/or notice of hearing or public sale; and (ii) execute and deliver to Lender any one or more of the following:  (A) a notice and acknowledgement of receipt of summons and complaint and/or notice of hearing or public sale, (B) a waiver of right to notice and hearing and/or public sale, (C) a consent decree of foreclosure, (D) any acknowledgment that the sale(s) were commercially reasonable dispositions of the Property after sale(s) and waiving any rights in opposition thereto that might otherwise exist, (E) a consent

order authorizing foreclosure, and (F) any other document, instrument, pleading, notice or writing Lender may deem necessary to prosecute to completion and/or effectuate any Foreclosure Action or the purpose and intent of this Agreement (collectively, the "Consensual Foreclosure Materials").  Borrower shall raise no objection or defense and shall take no action to hinder, delay or otherwise interfere with (including, without limitation, the commencement of any action for injunctive relief), object to or appeal any Foreclosure Action or any sale(s) of the Property or Lender's prosecution of any Foreclosure Action, the entry of any judgment or the confirmation of any sale(s) of any of the Property.  With respect to any such Foreclosure Action, Borrower agrees to cooperate in the submission, preparation or execution of any documents reasonably necessary or reasonably required for the expeditious prosecution of such Foreclosure Action as reasonably determined by the Lender.  The covenant contained in this Section 7.1 shall survive the Closing, provided that the Covenant Not to Sue given by Lender in Section 5.1 of this Agreement remains in force.
 
7.2 Receivership.  Promptly after the Effective Date, Lender and Borrower shall cause the hearings in the Receivership Action in Sacramento County, which is currently scheduled for January 31, 2010 to be continued to the next available hearing date that is no sooner than thirty (30) days after the current hearing date.  Promptly after the Closing, Lender shall dismiss the Receivership Actions.
 
7.3 Kirkland Deed of Trust.  Promptly after Lender's receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Gilroy Letter of Credit has been terminated and no draws have been made on the Gilroy Letter of Credit, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a deed of reconveyance or instrument of release with respect to that certain Deed of Trust dated April 13, 2009 executed by Lakha Properties - Kirkland, LLC, a Washington limited liability company, which was recorded on April 16, 2009 as Instrument No.  20090416000282, with the official records of King County, Washington.
 
7.4 Riverside County Litigation.  If Closing does not occur before the date on which responsive pleadings must be filed by the defendants in the Riverside County Litigation, Borrower and Guarantor shall cause their legal counsel to provide such extensions as defendants' counsel may require so that defendants may file such responsive pleadings after the regular filing deadline if Closing does not occur.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is the parties intention that the Riverside County Litigation shall be stayed so long as this Agreement is in effect.
 
7.5 Judicial Reference Agreements.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree the provisions of the following agreements shall not apply to any dispute with respect to this Agreement, nor shall any such dispute be subject to such agreements:  California Judicial Reference Agreement dated as of July 24, 2007 between LPS and U.S. Bank; California Judicial Reference Agreement dated as of July 24, 2007 between LPS II and U.S. Bank; and California Judicial Reference Agreement dated as of July 24, 2007 between LPPD and U.S. Bank.

10.1 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Closing Documents supersede any prior agreement, oral or written, and contain the entire agreement among Lender, Buyer and Borrower with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No subsequent agreement, representation or promise made by or to any party hereto shall be of any effect unless made in writing by the party to be bound thereby.  Any amendment to this Agreement shall be in writing signed by all parties hereto.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the documents and instruments delivered at Closing shall create any rights in any third party (other than Buyer) and may be amended by the parties hereto as set forth herein without liability to any third party.
 
10.2 Further Assurances.  Borrower and Guarantor shall, whenever and as often as it shall be requested to do so by Lender or Buyer, cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered any and all such further instruments and documents as may be necessary or proper, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or Buyer, in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
 
10.3 Construction.  This Agreement and the Closing Documents shall be construed as a whole and in accordance with their fair meaning.  Captions and organizations are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement or the Closing Documents.  Whenever the words "including", "include" or "includes" are used in this Agreement or the Closing Documents, they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words "without limitation" immediately followed the same.  Masculine, feminine, or neuter gender and the singular and the plural number, shall each be considered to include the other whenever the context so requires.  If any party consists of more than one person, each such person shall be jointly and severally liable.
 
10.4 No Waiver.  The waiver by any party of the performance of any covenant, condition or promise shall not invalidate this Agreement, nor shall it be construed a waiver by any other party or of any other covenant, condition or promise.  The waiver by any party of the time for performing any act shall not be considered a waiver of the time for performing any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time.  No waiver shall be enforceable against any party unless signed by such party in writing.
 
10.5 Governing Law.  This Agreement and the Closing Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California (without taking into account conflicts of law).
 
10.6 Counterparts.  This Agreement and the Closing Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts so long as each signatory hereto or thereto executes at least one such counterpart.  Each such counterpart shall constitute one original but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
 
-19-

 
10.7 Controversy.  In the event of any controversy, claim or dispute between the parties hereto affecting or relating to the purposes or subject matter of this Agreement or the documents and instruments executed and delivered at Closing, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover from the nonprevailing party or parties all of the prevailing party's expenses, including, but not by way of limitation, attorneys' fees (including the value of in-house counsel services).
 
10.8 No Merger, etc.  It is the intent of Lender, Buyer and Borrower that (a) the interests of Borrower conveyed to Buyer hereunder and the interests of Lender existing under each Deed of Trust shall not merge upon or after Closing, (b) each Deed of Trust and the applicable Note shall continue in full force and effect and such Deed of Trust shall remain as a first priority lien against the applicable Real Property notwithstanding the transfer of the Real Property to Buyer and Lender's covenant not to sue Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, and (c) Lender shall retain the right to foreclose upon the Real Property, whether judicially or non-judicially pursuant to its power of sale under such Deed of Trust, after the Closing but agrees not to seek a judgment for deficiency against Borrower or its constituent members.
 
10.9 Absolute Conveyance.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the conveyance to Lender or Buyer of the Property, according to the terms of this Agreement, is given voluntarily and is an absolute conveyance of all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Property in fact as well as form and is not intended as a mortgage, trust conveyance, deed of trust or security instrument of any kind; and (b) the consideration for such conveyance is exactly as recited herein and Borrower has no further interest or claim of any kind (including but not limited to homestead rights and rights of redemption) in or to any portion of the Property, or to the proceeds and profits which may be derived thereof, whether sold for more or less than the outstanding indebtedness due under the Loan Documents.
 
10.10 Indemnification.  Following the Closing, Borrower and Guarantor shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Lender, Buyer, and their respective partners, officers, shareholders, directors, managers, members, agents, servants, contractors, employees, parents, affiliated and subsidiary corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies and predecessors-in-interest (collectively the "Lender Released Parties"), and each of them, from and against any and all claims arising directly or indirectly from (a) any material breach in any representation or warranty made by Borrower in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, (b) the failure of Borrower to observe or perform any material agreement, covenant or provision of this Agreement or the Closing Documents, (c) any material breach of or default by Borrower under any Contract, Lease or Permissible Exception, (d) any acts or events by or caused by Borrower or Borrower's agents, or of which Borrower or Borrower's agents have knowledge, with respect to the Property, which occur on or prior to the Closing Date, or (e) any claim by any direct or indirect owner of Borrower in connection with the Property, the Loan, the Loan Documents, this Agreement or the documents and instruments executed and delivered at Closing.  The obligations of Borrower and Guarantor under this Section 10.10 shall survive Closing.

10.13 Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
 
10.14 Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
10.15 Effect on Loan Documents.  Neither the provisions of, nor any performance under, this Agreement shall amend, modify, supplement, extend, delay, renew, terminate, waive, release or otherwise limit or prejudice Lender's rights and remedies or Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents (including Lender's right to receive full payment as well as late charges, delinquent interest and all other charges provided for in the Loan Documents), subject, however, to Section 5.1 and Exhibit F-2, if, and only if, the Closing occurs.
 
10.16 Not an "Action".  Borrower acknowledges that neither this Agreement, nor any remedy or other action taken pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute an "action", violate the "one-form of action rule," the "security-first rule", or otherwise give rise to any application of California one-action or anti-deficiency rules which apply to notes secured by real property, and Borrower waives its rights under Sections 580a, 580b, 580c, 580d, 725a, 726, 728, 729.010, 729.060 and 729.070 of the California Code of Civil Procedure in connection with this Agreement and all payments to be made by Borrower hereunder.
 
10.17 Survival.  All warranties, representations, covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of two (2) years.  All warranties and representations shall be effective regardless of any investigation made or which could have been made.
 
10.18 Waiver of Trial by Jury.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereby irrevocably waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the Loan Documents.  This waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement.  In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the Court.
 
10.19 Relationship.  This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be construed to create a joint venture, partnership or agency relationship between Lender and Borrower.
 
 
-21-

 
10.20 Mortgagee in Possession.  Borrower agrees that Lender is not a mortgagee-in-possession and that this Agreement does not create any obligation on the part of Lender to manage or operate the Property or give Lender any control over the Property until after the Closing Date.
 
10.21 ORAL AGREEMENTS.  PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER WASHINGTON LAW.
 
10.22 Settlement Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, and there is ever any subsequent judicial or similar proceeding with respect to the Loans or any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Riverside County Litigation, the Receivership Actions, any foreclosure on the Property, or any bankruptcy filing by a party, none of Lender nor Borrower nor Guarantor may present in such proceeding as evidence this Agreement or any evidence resulting from conduct by any of such parties (verbal or nonverbal, or express or implied) in connection with the communications relating to this Agreement.  The foregoing sentence is intended to be broader than the restrictions on admissibility contained in Section 1152 of the California Evidence Code and Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence.  The foregoing shall not, however, apply to any judicial or similar proceeding relating to a dispute with respect to this Agreement.

This Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure is intended to be and is an absolute conveyance, and not a mortgage, trust conveyance or security instrument of any kind, Grantor having sold such Real Property to Grantee for a fair and adequate consideration, such consideration, in addition to that above recited, being the release of Grantor from all obligations secured by, among other things, that certain Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Leases, and Security Agreement (the "Deed of Trust") executed by Grantor, as trustor, to ____________________, as trustee, for the benefit of U.S. Bank National Association ("Original Lender") (the rights and obligations of which have been assigned to ROIC CA Notes LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lender")), as beneficiary, dated as of _____________________ and recorded in the Official Records of __________________ County, California on ________________ as Instrument No. _________________.
 
In executing this Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, it is the intention of Grantor to convey to Grantee, and by this Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Grantor does convey to

Grantee, all of Grantor's right, title and interest absolutely in and to the Real Property, free of any right of reinstatement or equity of redemption, and possession of the Real Property is intended to be and hereby is surrendered to Grantee concurrently herewith.
 
In executing and delivering this Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, Grantor is not acting under misapprehension as to the effect hereof, and is acting freely and voluntarily and not under coercion or duress.
 
Grantor freely and voluntarily declares Grantor's belief that, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, the consideration recited above received by Grantor represents the fair value of the Real Property.
 
Grantor declares that, except for this Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, that certain Bill of Sale and Assignment of even date herewith executed by Grantor for the benefit of Grantee (the "Bill of Sale"), that certain Conveyance in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement dated as of January __, 2011 (the "Agreement"), executed by Grantor, Lender and the other parties named therein (to the extent that such Agreement states that it survives this conveyance), and the other documents and instruments executed pursuant to the Agreement, and except for the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents referred to in the Agreement, there are no agreements, oral or written, between Grantor and Grantee with respect to the Real Property.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Leases, the Bill of Sale or the Agreement, or in any other document or instrument executed or delivered herewith or therewith, in no event shall there be a merger of the fee interest in the Real Property, on the one hand, with the beneficial interest under the Deed of Trust, on the other hand, by reason of the fact that title to the Real Property may at any time be vested in the same person or entity as is then beneficiary under the Deed of Trust (or an affiliate thereof), but the Deed of Trust is intended to, and shall, survive the conveyance of the Real Property effectuated hereby, and shall continue in full force and effect, until foreclosed or reconveyed by instrument duly executed by the beneficiary thereof in writing, as a lien encumbering the fee interest in the Real Property.
