Insurance on the transferred Property shall be cancelled as of 12:01 a.m. local time at the Property after the Closing Date, and thereafter the Operating Partnership shall be solely responsible for all risk of loss relating to the Property.

The Operating Partnership will deposit an xxxxxxx money deposit of $250,000 (the “Xxxxxxx Money”) which shall be applied to the cash payable by the Operating Partnership at the Closing. A copy of this fully-executed Agreement will be delivered to the Closing Agent by the Operating Partnership and will serve as escrow instructions together with any additional instructions required by the Contributor and/or the Operating Partnership or their respective counsels. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership agree to cooperate with the Closing Agent and sign any additional instructions reasonably required by the Closing Agent to close escrow. If there is any conflict between any other instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything else herein, in all events, the sum of $100.00 (the “Independent Consideration”), which sum has been bargained for and agreed to as consideration for Contributor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, will be payable to the Contributor out of the Xxxxxxx Money, even if this Agreement is terminated under its express provisions.

The Contributor and the Operating Partnership (i) agree that the contribution transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a “capital contribution” to the Operating Partnership and is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of the Code (to which the “traditional method” (without curative allocations) as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall be applied in respect of each asset contributed in the Contributions, and subject to the limitations and qualifications of Subchapter K of the Code), (ii) intend that no gain or loss shall be recognized by the Contributor for income tax purposes as a result of such transaction, and to the extent any cash is being paid by the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, the Contributors, such cash payment shall be treated as a reimbursement of preformation capital expenditures within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-4(d). In addition, the parties agree that all liabilities to be repaid by the Operating Partnership at the Closing in connection with the Contributions are “qualified liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5 and will be assumed (or taken subject to) by the Operating Partnership prior to such repayment (provided the Contributor provides information to the Operating Partnership reasonably demonstrating that the “disguised sale” rules in Section 707 of the Code are not applicable), (iii) shall report such transaction in a manner consistent with such intent, and no party shall take a position on any applicable income Tax return that would be inconsistent with the intended Tax treatment described in this Section except to the extent that a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code requires otherwise and (iv) agree that it will not take any action that could jeopardize such tax treatment.

7. Termination.

7.1 Termination. Provided that the Operating Partnership is not in default, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing Date at the Operating Partnership’s option (and the Xxxxxxx Money immediately returned to the Operating Partnership in full) in the event of any of the following occurrences:

7.1.1 The Contributor fails to comply with any of the Contributor’s obligations hereunder related to the contribution of the Property;

7.1.2 Notice of termination given by the Operating Partnership pursuant to any express right to do so under this Agreement; and

7.1.3 Any other right of termination expressly provided for in this Agreement.

7.2 Default by the Operating Partnership. If the Operating Partnership fails to perform any of the Operating Partnership’s obligations hereunder, then the Contributor, at the Contributor’s option, if such failure continues for 15 business days after written notice of such default from the Contributor and as the Contributor’s sole and exclusive remedy, the Contributor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Operating Partnership, in which event the Contributor shall be entitled to the full Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as liquidated damages for the breach of this Agreement, it being agreed between the parties hereto that the actual damages to Contributor in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain and the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate thereof, and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Contributor shall have any further rights or

obligations under this Agreement except matters that survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision is not intended to limit the Operating Partnership’s obligations to indemnify the Contributor for certain matters as expressly provided in this Agreement nor limit the Operating Partnership’s ability to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.

7.3 Default by the Contributor. If the Contributor fails to perform any of the Contributor’s closing obligations, then the Contributor will have 3 business days to cure after receipt of written notice from the Operating Partnership; if any of the Contributor’s representations or warranties set forth herein are determined to be materially inaccurate or untrue when made and such failure continues for 15 business days after written notice thereof from the Operating Partnership (or such longer period as reasonably required by the Contributor to effect such cure, but in no event more than 30 days), then the Operating Partnership, at the Operating Partnership’s option and as the Operating Partnership’s sole and exclusive remedies, shall have the right to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Contributor, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money shall be immediately delivered to the Operating Partnership by the Title Company upon receipt of written notice from the Operating Partnership of such termination and the Contributor shall reimburse the Operating Partnership for all of the Operating Partnership’s third party actual documented reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in an amount not to exceed $100,000 (the “Contributor’s Breakage Fee”) and thereafter, neither the Operating Partnership nor the Contributor shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except matters which survive termination, (ii) pursue a damage claim not to exceed the Contributor Breakage Fee (plus a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money) or (iii) enforce specific performance of the obligations of the Contributor to contribute the Property as provided under this Agreement. Any suit for specific performance must be filed within 60 days after the Closing Date or shall thereafter be barred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision is not intended to limit the Contributor’s obligations to indemnify the Operating Partnership for certain matters as expressly provided in this Agreement.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Further Assurances. The Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall take such other actions and execute such additional documents following the Closing as the other may reasonably request in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.7 Titles. The titles and captions of the Articles, Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall have no effect on the construction or meaning of this Agreement.

8.8 Third Party Beneficiary.

customer, affiliate, stockholder, partner, member, director, officer or employee of any party hereto or any other person or entity.

8.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any amendment, consent or agreement deemed necessary or desirable by the Operating Partnership to effect such replacement.

8.10 Reliance. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on tax advice or other advice from the other party to this Agreement, and that it has or will consult with its own advisors.

8.11 Survival. It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that the representations, warranties and covenants of the Contributor and the Operating Partnership set forth in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby only to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement that contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not fully performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.

Mailed notices shall be addressed as set forth below, but any party may change the address set forth below by written notice to other parties in accordance with this paragraph.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

This NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of _____________, 20__ (the “Effective Date”), between Lodging Fund REIT III OP, LP a Delaware limited partnership with an address of 0000 00xx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx 00000 (“Operating Partnership”), L N Hospitality Denver LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, with an address of ________________________ (“Contributor”), and Xxxxx Xxxxx, its manager and _________________, operating officers of the Contributor (the “Interested Parties”). The Contributor and Interested Parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Restricted Parties.”

R E C I T A L S:

A. The Operating Partnership and Contributor have entered into a Contribution Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2020, (the “Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which the Contributor has agreed to contribute property to the Operating Partnership, such property located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Hotel”).

B. The agreement of the Restricted Parties to deliver this Agreement was a material inducement to Operating Partnership in entering into the Purchase Agreement.

C. The Operating Partnership, as the owner of the Hotel from and after the date of closing of the Contribution Agreement, desires to preclude the Restricted Parties from competing against it during the term of this Agreement.

A G R E E M E N T

For valuable consideration, the parties agree to the following covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and in the Contribution Agreement:

1.1 Non-Competition. The Restricted Parties covenant and agree that, for a period of 3 years beginning on the closing date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), neither the Restricted Parties, nor any entity controlled by the Restricted Parties (an “Affiliate”) will, without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, or engage or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, or be connected as a shareholder, director, officer, agent, partner, joint venturer, lender, employee, consultant or advisor with, any business or organization any part of which engages in the business of hotel or motel ownership or management or is in competition with any of the business activities of the Operating Partnership, or any affiliate of the Operating Partnership within the Non-Competition Area.

1.2 Geographic Restriction. The term “Non-Competition Area” in this Agreement means the area within a 25-mile radius of the Hotel. This provision will not apply to any property that was owned by the Contributor or the Interested Parties, either directly or indirectly through an affiliated entity, prior to the Effective Date of the Contribution Agreement, and will not restrict the Interested Parties, individually or as owners or employees of an entity from managing or consulting regarding one or more hotel(s) or motel(s) under management agreement for owner(s) or lender(s) which either or both Interested Parties: (a) do business with prior to the Effective Date, (b) are part of a multi-property management relationship with owner(s); or a lender(s); or (c) is a property in receivership or foreclosure controlled by a lender.

1.3 Confidential Information.

(a) On and after the Closing Date, the Restricted Parties will not use or disclose to anybody, and will cause all of their respective Affiliates to refrain from disclosing, any Confidential Information except: (a) where necessary to comply with any legal obligation, such as a court order or subpoena, provided the Restricted Parties will

Exhibit E

first promptly notify the Operating Partnership prior to any such disclosure and permit Operating Partnership to intervene to block such disclosure; (b) where necessary, to the Restricted Parties’ attorneys and accountants, provided that they will have first been apprised of the limitations of this Agreement and will have agreed to be comply with and be bound by such limitations; or (c) where the Restricted Parties have obtained the express, prior written consent from the Operating Partnership.

(b) The term “Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to information specific to the Hotel, including but not limited to: customer lists, contact information, needs, preferences and history of service; business operations and methods; training materials; marketing plans; customer relations information; service and operations forms; practices, procedures, policies and guidelines; sales information; supplier/vendor agreements and information; and all other information, lists, records and data relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of the Hotel, the disclosure of which may provide valuable benefits to any other person or entity or which would embarrass or damage the Hotel, Operating Partnership or their affiliates, monetarily or otherwise. Furthermore, the term “Confidential Information” is intended to be construed broadly, including information in all forms, written or oral, on paper or stored electronically or in any other medium, and includes all originals, summaries, portions and copies of any such information. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) was widely known in the industry at the time of disclosure to the Restricted Party, or (ii) becomes widely known or readily available other than by a breach of this Agreement.

1.4 Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. Except with the prior written approval of the Operating Partnership, for a period of 3 years after the Closing Date, neither the Restricted Parties nor their respective Affiliates will (a) employ or offer to employ any person who was principally employed at the Hotel on the Closing Date, (b) solicit, recruit, or encourage any employee or independent contractor of the Hotel or Operating Partnership to leave his or her employment, (c) hire, employ or cause to be hired, or establish a business with, any person who was employed at the Hotel, within the 12-month period preceding the Closing Date, (d) solicit any business clients of the Hotel or encourage them to terminate any contracts, and (e) interfere with or encourage any adjustments to long term negotiated rate clientele. In addition, any attempt by any Restricted Party to induce others to terminate any contracts, employment, or independent contractor relationship with Operating Partnership or the Hotel, or any effort by any Restricted Party to interfere with any of the relationships between each of the Operating Partnership and the Hotel and any of their business clients, employees, or independent contractors, would be harmful and damaging to the Operating Partnership. For purposes of this Section 1.3, an “employee” will include any person who is a common law employee or who is an independent contractor providing personal services.

1.5 Non-Disparagement. The Restricted Parties will not: (a) make any disparaging or defamatory statements about Operating Partnership, the Hotel or their affiliates, or (b) authorize, encourage or participate with anyone to make such statements.

1.6 Reasonableness; Independent Covenants. The Restricted Parties acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Operating Partnership and the Hotel from and after the Closing Date. The Restricted Parties further acknowledge that all restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable in all respects, including duration, territory and scope of activity restricted.

1.7 Remedies.

(a) The Restricted Parties agree that if they or any of their Affiliates engage or threaten to engage in any activity that constitutes a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, Operating Partnership will have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by law or by any court having jurisdiction.

(b) The Restricted Parties agree a breach of this Agreement would cause immediate irreparable injury to Operating Partnership and/or the Hotel and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy at law for any breach. Further, without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, Operating Partnership will be entitled to obtain equitable relief by temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction or otherwise from any court of competent jurisdiction (without the requirement of posting a bond or other security), including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent the Restricted Parties’ failure to comply with the terms and conditions of Section 1 of this Agreement. Such right and remedy will be in addition to, and not in lieu of,

Exhibit E

any other rights and remedies available to Operating Partnership at law or in equity, including the right to seek monetary damages.

(c) The applicable 3-year period of the covenants contained in Section 1.4 above will be extended on a day for day basis for each day during which a Restricted Party is in violation of the covenant, so that each Restricted Party is restricted from engaging in the activities prohibited by the covenant for the full 3-year time period.

(d) The Restricted Parties agree that the existence of any claim or cause of action by a Restricted Party against Operating Partnership, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Operating Partnership of the covenants and restrictions in this Agreement.

1.8 Construction. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto.

1.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement will, for any reason, be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such judgment will not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement but will be confined in its operation to the provision or provisions hereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment will have been rendered, and this Agreement will be construed as if such provision had never existed, unless such construction would operate as an undue hardship on Contributor or Operating Partnership or would constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement.

1.10 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Agreement will be in writing and will be sent by hand messenger, electronic facsimile transmission, electronic mail (e-mail), reputable overnight courier, or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Notices and other communications will be deemed to have been duly given, as applicable (i) if by hand delivery, on the date of delivery, if such date is a business day (or if such date is not a business day, then on the first business day following such date), (ii) if by electronic facsimile transmission, the date of transmission as evidenced by automated date and time confirmation from sender’s machine, (iii) if given by e-mail, the communication is instantaneous and the day of receipt can be designated to be the same day as sending and a written copy must also be sent via certified mail, (iv) if given by overnight courier, 1 business day after deposit with the overnight courier, or (v) if given by certified mail, 1 business day after deposit with the United States Post Office.

Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, all business processes and procedures, systems, methods of doing business, data, reports, specifications, formulae, proposals, strategies, business plans and analyses, financial information and projections, investment strategy, marketing, advertising, promotions, market research, plans, information about past, present or potential investors, information about past, present or potential vendors, information about existing or future technology, and proprietary software or models. Without limiting the foregoing, the term “Confidential Information” expressly includes: the Partnership’s investment strategies, including without limitation the possibility of entering into an umbrella real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”) transaction; and potential details related to the Transaction, including without limitation potential Transaction terms, provisions, and pricing. The foregoing notwithstanding, the term “Confidential Information” does not include information that:

a) Is or becomes known to the public through no fault of the receiving Party;

b) The receiving Party already rightfully possessed before the disclosing Party disclosed it to the receiving Party;

c) Is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a third-party who is not under obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; or

d) The receiving Party develops independently without using Confidential Information.

2. NON-DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS. Neither Party shall disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to any of its officers, directors, employees, contractors or agents or to any third-party without the disclosing Party’s written consent, except that (a) the receiving Party may disclose such information to its officers, directors, employees, contractors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and agents whose duties justify their need to know such Confidential Information, and who have been clearly informed of their obligation to maintain the confidential status of such Confidential Information; and (b) the receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable federal, state or local law, regulation, court order, or other legal process, provided such Party has given the disclosing Party prior written notice of such required disclosure and, to the extent reasonably possible, has given the disclosing Party an opportunity to contest such required disclosure at the disclosing Party’s expense.

3. PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The receiving Party shall use the same care to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information as such Party uses with respect to its own confidential information of a similar nature, which shall not in any case be less than the care a reasonable business person would use under similar circumstances. Without limiting the foregoing, the receiving Party shall take reasonable action by instruction, agreement or otherwise with respect to such

Exhibit F

Party’s employees or other persons permitted access to Confidential Information to cause them to comply fully with the receiving Party’s obligations hereunder.

4. PERMITTED USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The receiving Party may not use the Confidential Information directly or indirectly for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally disclosed, or for any purposes which could be deemed to be adverse to or competitive with the disclosing Party’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall impair Buyer’s right (or the right of any permitted assignee or Lodging Fund REIT III, Inc. (“Parent”)) to disclose information relating to this Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, or the Property (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers, investment advisors and/or broker-dealers evaluating Buyer, its permitted assignees or Parent, (b) in connection with any filings with governmental agencies (including the Securities and Exchange Commission) by Parent, (c) to any broker-dealers or investment advisors in Parent’s selling group and any of Parent’s investors, including pursuant to the confidential offering memorandum used in connection with Parent’s ongoing private offering, and (d) to the public as long as such information does not specifically disclose the identity of the Contributor or the Property if such disclosure occurs before the end of the Due Diligence Period.

5. DESTRUCTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Upon the written request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall cease using and arrange for the destruction of all copies of any Confidential Information then in the receiving Party’s possession or under such Party’s control. The receiving Party agrees to dispose of the Confidential Information in such a manner that the information cannot be read or reconstructed after destruction. Upon the written request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall certify in writing that it has complied with the obligations set forth in this paragraph.

6. INFORMATION SECURITY. (a) The receiving Party shall take appropriate measures designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Confidential Information; (b) the receiving Party shall restrict access to Confidential Information to those officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents or other third parties whose access the disclosing Party deems appropriate; (c) Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) months following execution of this Agreement. The receiving Party agrees to indemnify the disclosing Party for all reasonable fees, costs, charges, and expenses resulting from any unauthorized access to Confidential Information.

7. OWNERSHIP OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The disclosing Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its own Confidential Information. Neither this Agreement nor any disclosure of Confidential Information shall be deemed to grant the receiving Party any license or other intellectual property right.

8. DISCLAIMERS. The receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the disclosing Party provides Confidential Information disclosed hereunder on an “AS IS” basis, without warranties of any kind, except as specified in Section 7 above. Without limiting the foregoing, the disclosing Party does not represent or warrant that Confidential Information is accurate, complete or current. The disclosure of Confidential Information containing business plans is for planning purposes only. The disclosing Party may change or cancel its plans at any time at such Party's sole discretion. The receiving Party further acknowledges and understands that disclosure of Confidential Information is not a representation that the parties will enter into any type of business relationship.

9. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The receiving Party acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure by such Party of Confidential Information would cause immediate and irreparable damage that could not be fully remedied by monetary damages. The receiving Party therefore agrees that the disclosing Party may specifically enforce this Agreement and shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure without the necessity of proving actual damage.

10. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the Parties’ execution of a binding agreement superseding this Agreement, or (ii) a date two years after the conclusion of business discussions between the Parties.

Exhibit F

11. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired.

12. GENERAL. This Agreement supplements the LOI, and to the extent inconsistent, supersedes any other non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement between the Parties. The Parties may not amend this Agreement except in a writing that each party signs. The terms of such an amendment shall apply as of the effective date of the amendment, unless the amendment specifies otherwise. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, except pursuant to a writing executed by the party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy or requiring the satisfaction of any condition under this Agreement operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy or condition. All remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.
