AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 9, 2004, is by and among U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Ivanhoe Acquisition XIII, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Acquisition LLC”), and CNL Income Fund XIII, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership (the “Fund”). The Company, Acquisition LLC, and the Fund are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

WHEREAS, the Company and the Fund desire to consummate a merger (the “Merger”) whereby Acquisition LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will be merged with and into the Fund, and the Fund will be the surviving entity in the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable law;

WHEREAS, the Fund is one of 18 affiliated limited partnerships operated as income funds (each, an “Income Fund” and, collectively, the “Income Funds”) that the Company is proposing to acquire through the merger of each such Income Fund with and into limited liability companies that are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company and the managing member of Acquisition LLC deem it advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and Acquisition LLC and its members, respectively, to enter into this Agreement in respect of the Merger, and the general partners of the Fund (the “General Partners”) deem it advisable and in the best interests of the Fund and its limited partners to enter into this Agreement in respect of the Merger; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of, and an inducement to, the Fund to enter into this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain holders of Company Common Stock (as defined herein), are entering into a Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Company Stockholders’ Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, providing for certain actions relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 Effective Time of the Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing (as defined in Section 1.2), the Company and the Fund shall (i) prepare, and on the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter cause to be filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation, articles of merger (the “Acquisition LLC Articles of Merger”) in such form as is required by, and executed by

Acquisition LLC in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act (the “MLLCA”), (ii) prepare, and on the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter cause to be filed with the Florida Department of State, articles of merger (the “Fund Articles of Merger”) in such form as is required by, and executed by Acquisition LLC and the Fund in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Florida Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (1986) (the “FRULPA”), and (iii) shall make all other filings or recordings required under the MLLCA, FRULPA or otherwise. The Merger shall become effective at (a) such time as both the Acquisition LLC Articles of Merger and the Fund Articles of Merger have been duly filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation and the Florida Department of State, respectively, or (b) such other time as is agreed upon by the Fund and the Company and specified in the Acquisition LLC Articles of Merger and the Fund Articles of Merger. Such time is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Washington, D.C. time, on a date to be specified by the Fund and the Company (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the second business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the delivery of such items and the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), at the offices of Shaw Pittman LLP, 2300 N Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20037, unless another date, place or time is agreed to in writing by the Fund and the Company.

1.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time: (i) Acquisition LLC shall be merged with and into the Fund (the Fund and Acquisition LLC are sometimes referred to below as the “Constituent Entities” and the Fund following the Merger is sometimes referred to below as the “Surviving Entity”); (ii) the separate existence of Acquisition LLC shall cease and the Fund shall be the Surviving Entity in the Merger; and (iii) the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B, shall be the Partnership Agreement of the Surviving Entity (the “Fund LP Agreement”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 4A-709 of the MLLCA and Section 620.204 of the FRULPA.

1.4 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Entity shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Entity its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of Acquisition LLC or the Fund or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Entity and its proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either Acquisition LLC or the Surviving Entity, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of Acquisition LLC or the Surviving Entity, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or

assets of Acquisition LLC or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1 Conversion of Fund Interests. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any membership interests of Acquisition LLC (the “Membership Interests”) or of any partnership interests in the Fund:

(a) Consideration for Fund Interests. Subject to Section 2.2, (i) the general partnership interests in the Fund (the “General Partnership Interests”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (A) $125,692 in cash (the “GP Cash Consideration”), and (B) 1,047.433 shares of $1.93 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Company Series A Preferred Stock”), of the Company (the terms of which are set forth in Exhibit C hereto) (the “GP Stock Consideration” and, together with the GP Cash Consideration, the “GP Merger Consideration”); and (ii) each unit of limited partnership interest in the Fund (the “Limited Partnership Interests,” together with the General Partnership Interests, the “Fund Interests”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (A) $7.989 in cash (the “LP Cash Consideration,” together with the GP Cash Consideration, the “Cash Consideration”), and (B) 0.0666 shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock (the “LP Stock Consideration” and, together with the LP Cash Consideration, the “LP Merger Consideration”). The GP Merger Consideration shall be allocated pro rata among the General Partners in accordance with the value of their respective capital accounts on the Closing Date. The GP Merger Consideration and the LP Merger Consideration shall hereafter be referred to collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”

(b) Conversion of Membership Interests. As of the Effective Time, all Membership Interests shall be automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into partnership interests in the Fund and the Membership Interests shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist.

(c) Adjustments to Consideration. The number of shares of the Company Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, combination, subdivision, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into the Company Series A Preferred Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Series A Preferred Stock occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

2.2 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Company to Provide Certificates. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will make available to its transfer agent, as needed, certificates representing the Company Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(a).

(b) Delivery Procedures. At the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall be delivered by the Company and its transfer agent to the General Partners. Promptly thereafter, the General Partners shall deliver to each holder of Fund Interests (a “Partner”), in exchange for its Fund Interest, cash, a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock and payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(d), after giving effect to any withholding rights described in Section 2.2(f) below.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Fund Interests. The Merger Consideration issued or paid upon the conversion of the Fund Interests in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash or dividends or other distributions paid pursuant to Section 2.2(d)) shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Fund Interests.

(d) No Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of any Fund Interests, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Fund Interests exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Company Series A Preferred Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (rounding up to the nearest whole cent and without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Company Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by $23.50.

(e) No Liability. To the extent permitted by law, none of Acquisition LLC, the Company or the Surviving Entity or the General Partners shall be liable to any Partner (or holder or distributions with respect to the Fund Interests) for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by Partners two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental entity) shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of the Surviving Entity free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person (as defined below) previously entitled thereto. Any Partner who has not exchanged his Fund Interests for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.2 within six months after the Effective Time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for his claim for Cash Consideration, Company Series A Preferred Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock, and any dividends or distributions with respect to Company

Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including, without limitation, a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

(f) Withholding Rights. The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Partner such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable provision of law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Partners in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company and Acquisition LLC, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Fund that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct, except as set forth herein or in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to the Fund on or before the date of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule is arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in this Article III. Disclosure of any fact or item in any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not, should the existence of the fact or item or its contents be relevant to any other section of the Company Disclosure Schedule, be deemed to be disclosed with respect to such other section, unless specifically stated in the Company Disclosure Schedule.

As used herein, “Company Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any fact, event, change, development, effect or circumstance that (i) is materially adverse to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) would materially impair or delay the ability of the Company and/or Acquisition LLC to perform their respective obligations hereunder or Company’s obligations under the Company Stockholders’ Agreement, including the consummation of the Merger; provided, that Company Material Adverse Effect shall not include (A) any adverse change, effect or circumstance arising out of or resulting from actions contemplated by the parties in connection with this Agreement or that is attributable to the announcement or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) any adverse change in the trading prices for the Company’s stock, or (C) changes that result from economic factors affecting the economy as a whole or changes that are the result of factors generally affecting the specific industry or markets in which the Company operates and competes (provided that such changes do not affect the Company in a substantially disproportionate manner).

(b) Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the date hereof, a true and complete list of all of the Company’s directly and indirectly owned Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each Subsidiary and the percentage of each Subsidiary’s outstanding capital stock or other equity or other interest owned by the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company.

As used in this Agreement, the word “Subsidiary” means, with respect to a party, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company (including, but not limited to, Acquisition LLC) or other business association or entity, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which (i) such party or any other Subsidiary of such party is a general partner (excluding partnerships, the general partnership interests of which held by such party and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries do not have a majority of the voting interest in such partnership), (ii) such party and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries holds voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other governing body performing similar functions, or (iii) such party and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, owns or controls more than 50% of the equity, membership, partnership or similar interests, but “Subsidiary” shall not include the Company Joint Ventures or Fund Joint Ventures, as applicable (each as defined below).

(c) Section 3.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists the joint ventures of the Company (the “Company Joint Ventures”).

The Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of each Subsidiary of the Company are in full force and effect, and no other organizational documents are applicable to or binding upon the Company or its Subsidiaries.

3.2 Capitalization.

Flexible Incentive Plan (the “Company Stock Plan”). Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all Company Stock Options, the record holder thereof and the exercise prices thereof.

Except as set forth in Section 3.10(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each Subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation either (i) has been since its formation a qualified REIT subsidiary under Section 856(i) of the Code or (ii) has been since January 1, 2001, a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(1) of the Code.

Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Section 3.12 to the Company’s Disclosure Schedule sets forth each and every material uninsured claim, equal employment opportunity claim and claim relating to sexual harassment and/or discrimination pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened as of the date hereof, in each case with a brief summary of such claim or threatened claim and (ii) no claim has been made under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy at any time by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(a) Provided that the Fund is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, if the Merger is not consummated for failure of the condition to Closing contained in Section 7.1(f) to be satisfied and, as a result of such failure, CNLRP is obligated to pay the Company a break-up fee pursuant to the terms of the CNLRP Merger Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Fund as follows: (i) if the Fund has waived the condition to Closing contained in Section 7.1(f) and elected to proceed with the Merger, the Company shall pay to the Fund an amount equal to $8,000,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration; and (ii) if the Fund has not waived the condition to Closing contained in Section 7.1(f) and the Merger is not consummated, the Company shall pay to the Fund an amount equal to $5,000,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of

which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

(b) If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Fund pursuant to Section 8.1(k), the Fund thereupon shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 4.0% of the value of the Merger Consideration; and (ii) $20,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein, provided, however, that, after any such approval, no extension or waiver shall be made which by law requires further approval by such stockholders without such further approval. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party.

Each Party agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither the Company, Acquisition LLC nor the Fund makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, financial and legal advisors or other representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the other or the other’s representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

9.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

9.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.6 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the Parties with respect to the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

9.7 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

9.8 Interpretation. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Whenever the words

“include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Maryland.

9.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

9.11 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

9.12 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction of the State of Maryland in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.2. Nothing in this Section 9.12, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

9.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have signed, or caused this Agreement to be signed by their respective officer thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first written above.
