December 15, 1998, is made by and among RVM LONG BEACH PLAZA LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Grantee"), and CARLYLE REAL ESTATE
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-XIII, an Illinois limited partnership ("Grantor").
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined are used
with the meanings set forth in Exhibit C.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. This Agreement is entered into with
reference to the following facts:
(1) Grantor is indebted to Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association of America ("TIAA") pursuant to that certain California Deed of
Trust Note (the "Note"), in the original principal amount of $34,000,000,
dated June 28, 1984, and secured by that certain Deed of Trust and
Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing Statement (the
"Deed of Trust"), dated June 28, 1984, that certain Assignment of Leases

other instruments, security agreements and UCC financing statements (the

Trust and the Assignment of Leases, collectively, the "Mortgage"). The
outstanding unpaid principal amount under the Note is at least
$30,000,000.00.
(2) The Note is currently in default, and in connection therewith,
TIAA has filed an action for, among other things, judicial foreclosure in
the Los Angeles County Superior Court (the "Superior Court"), as Xxxx Xx.
XX 000000 (the "Superior Court Proceeding"). Pursuant to a stipulation
between Grantor, JMB Realty Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and TIAA,
approved by the Superior Court on or about March 6, 1996, in the Superior
Court Proceeding, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (the "Receiver") was appointed as
receiver for the Property.
(3) Grantor acknowledges, for purposes of this Settlement Agreement
only, and only for the benefit of Grantee, that (a) a material default has
occurred under the Loan Documents, (b) all notice and cure periods under
the Loan Documents have expired, (c) Grantor has no offsets, defenses or
counterclaims with respect to amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents
or to the Superior Court Proceeding, (d) Grantor is unable to cure its
defaults under the Loan Documents, (e) Grantor does not have any equity in
the Property and (f) Grantor has been unsuccessful in obtaining any offers
to purchase the Property or any commitments to refinance the Loan either of
which would result in the repayment of all amounts owed under the Loan.
(4) Grantee has advised Grantor that TIAA is negotiating a Loan
Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "TIAA/Grantee Agreement") with RVM II Long
Beach Plaza LLC ("RVM"), an affiliate of Grantee, providing for the sale of
the Note and Mortgage, and TIAA and Grantor have agreed that, if Grantee
desires, upon the sale of the Note and Mortgage to RVM, Grantor shall
transfer the Property to Grantee or its designee in lieu of foreclosure of
the Deed of Trust by RVM.
(5) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Grantor desires to convey and transfer to Grantee, and Grantee
desires to receive and accept, Grantor's rights and interests in the
Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, $10 and of
the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, all of which
represent a fair and equitable transfer (specifically, with respect to the
benefits transferred to Grantor, Grantor acknowledges that they represent a
reasonably equivalent value for Property, as encumbered) and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
