The Mortgage was given by Lex Partners II, LLC (“Lex”) to secure a certain Note by Lex in favor of Grantee, dated February 19, 2016, in the original principal amount of $3,600,000.00 (the “Note”). It is further agreed by the parties (by their delivery and acceptance of this Indenture) that this is an absolute conveyance to Grantee of any and all right, title, and interest in the Property given for full and adequate consideration including specifically, but without limitation, any equity or rights of redemption of Grantor in the Property, and that possession of the Property has been surrendered to Grantee, and this Indenture is not given or intended as security or additional security or collateral of any kind whatsoever for the Note or otherwise.

It is the express intent of both Grantor and Grantee herein (by their delivery and acceptance of this Indenture) that the legal estate acquired by Grantee pursuant to the conveyance by this Indenture shall not be merged with the equitable estate in the Property owned by Grantee herein by virtue of the Mortgage, and that all of the liens and security interests evidencing or securing payment of the Note shall remain valid and in full force and effect unless and until released by Grantee, it being the intention of the parties that there shall be no merger of any of said liens with the title or other interest of Grantee by virtue of this conveyance, and the parties provide that each such interest in the liens on one hand and the title on the other shall be and remain at all times separate and distinct. It if further understood and agreed (by delivery and acceptance of this Indenture) that the conveyance of the Property is an absolute conveyance of title given for full and adequate consideration provided that the acceptance by Grantee of this deed shall constitute Grantee’s agreement to the release of Grantor from all personal liability of Grantor for sums owing under the Note and Mortgage.

And the Grantor hereby covenants with said Grantee that the Grantor is lawfully seized of said land in fee simple; that the Grantor has good right and lawful authority to sell and convey said land; that the Grantor hereby fully warrants the title to said land and will defend the same against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever; and that said land is free of all encumbrances, except taxes accruing subsequent to December 31, 2015.
