Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Asset and during such time no Seller nor any Affiliate
of
10
Seller will negotiate with, solicit or entertain offers from any third party with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement.

3.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Sellers and Purchaser agree that (a) solely for
transfer and sales tax purposes, the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the real and personal

ARTICLE IV
XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT
XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT
4.1 Amount and Timing. Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date,
Purchaser shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money, in Current Funds, to the Title Company. Seller agrees
that the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refundable at any time prior to expiration of the Inspection Period
if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(c) hereof for any
reason as determined in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. After the expiration of the
Inspection Period, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be payable to either Purchaser or Sellers in accordance
with this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with the Title Company on or
before two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, this Agreement and the Other Purchase and
Sale Agreements shall be of no force or effect, and neither the Sellers nor Purchaser shall have
any further obligations hereunder or under the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, except for
provisions of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements which expressly survive the
termination hereof and thereof. The Title Company shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money promptly upon
receipt in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to and as directed by
Purchaser, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of the Title Company or others, and
shall promptly provide Purchaser and the Sellers with confirmation of the investments made. Such
account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to
such account.
4.2 Application and Interest. Purchaser and Sellers agree that the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
credited towards the Purchase Price if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement close. In
the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason by Purchaser prior to expiration of the
Inspection Period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Title Company is
authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser on or before the second (2nd) Business Day
following delivery by the Purchaser to the Title Company and Seller of written notice from the
Purchaser of such termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or Sellers after the
expiration of the Inspection Period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Title
Company is authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser or Sellers on (or before based on
joint written direction of the Parties) the tenth (10th) Business Day following receipt by the
Title Company and the non-terminating Party of written notice from the terminating Party of such
termination; provided, however, that, if the non-terminating party, before the end of the ninth
(9th) Business Day following receipt by the Title Company and the non-terminating Party
of written notice from the terminating Party of such termination, notifies the Title Company that
the non-terminating party disputes the right of terminating party to receive the Xxxxxxx Money,
then the Title
11
Company shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money in escrow and may, in the Title Company’s discretion,
interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the county
or district in which the Xxxxxxx Money has been deposited, and all attorneys’ fees and costs and
the Title Company’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader shall be
assessed against the Party that is not awarded the Xxxxxxx Money. All interest earned on the
Xxxxxxx Money is part of the Xxxxxxx Money, to be applied or disposed of in the same manner as the
Xxxxxxx Money under this Agreement and shall be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing. By
their entry into this Agreement, the Parties agree that the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.2 shall constitute their respective written instructions to the Title Company to
distribute the Xxxxxxx Money in accordance herewith.

Purchaser acknowledges that the Property Information either has been made available by the
Sellers to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date or will be made available to Purchaser within five
(5) days after the Effective Date (or, with respect to insurance policies, as soon as they become
available), in each case by means of posting the same on the “CrescentConnect” website to which
Purchaser was granted access by the Sellers. In addition to the foregoing, as soon as reasonably
possible after the Effective Date, the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser year-to-date unaudited
monthly income statements for the Asset, beginning January 2007, as the same become available, and
the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser promptly upon request by Purchaser such additional due
diligence materials relating to the Property which are reasonably requested by Purchaser and are in
the Sellers’ possession or control, including audited financial statements for the Asset, if
available. All such additional due diligence documents and materials provided by the Sellers to
Purchaser after the Effective Date shall be provided by means of posting the same on the
“CrescentConnect” website and shall be referred to collectively as the “Additional Property
Materials.” Except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Sellers’
representations and warranties in Article VI of this Agreement, the Sellers expressly
disclaim any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied, statements of
fact and other matters contained in the Property Information and/or the Additional Property
Materials, or for omissions from the Property Information and/or the Additional Property Materials,
or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to Purchaser. Except
as otherwise expressly provided in the Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article
VI of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers have not undertaken
any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property Information
and/or the Additional Property Materials, and have provided the Property Information and the
Additional Property Materials solely as an accommodation to Purchaser. With respect to the
Property, Purchaser shall rely solely upon (A) Purchaser’s review of the Property Information and
the Additional Property Materials, (B) Purchaser’s inspections of the Property pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) below, (C) the express warranties and representations of the Sellers set
forth in Article VI of this Agreement, and (D) the express covenants of the Sellers set forth in
Article XIII of this Agreement. In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Information,
the Additional Property Materials or any other information, the Sellers have not waived any
privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third-party benefits or
relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have
13
been offered, intended or created. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and Closing.
5.2 Title and Surveys.
(a) As noted in Section 5.1 above, Sellers have posted on the “CrescentConnect”
website a current Title Commitment for the Asset, together with copies of the Exception Documents
pertaining thereto, and the Existing Survey for the Asset. Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with
a full size copy of the Existing Survey within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date.
(b) Before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey
for the Asset, or to revise, modify, or re-certify the Existing Survey (the “New Survey”), but in
that event Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for the New Survey (and in no
event shall either the Inspection Period or the Closing Date hereunder be postponed or extended for
any reason in connection therewith). If Purchaser obtains the New Survey, Purchaser shall have
the New Survey certified to, and shall provide a copy to, the Title Company and Sellers. Upon
Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s cost, Sellers shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to assist Purchaser in causing the surveyor of the Existing Survey to revise, modify, date down and
recertify the Existing Survey to Purchaser, its lender and the Title Company.
(c) Purchaser may, on or before the date that is two (2) weeks after the Effective Date (the
“Title Response Date”) deliver to Sellers written notice (“Title Objection Notice”)
objecting to any exception to title set forth in the Title Commitment or any matter shown on the
Existing Survey or New Survey which are not acceptable to Purchaser or that are exceptions for
which Purchaser has not received the underlying information or documentation from Sellers or the
Title Company (collectively, “Title Defects”); provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser
object to any exceptions with respect to the Management Agreement, Material Agreements or memoranda
of any of the foregoing, nor shall any such exceptions constitute “Title Defects” hereunder unless
Purchaser exercises an option to elect not to assume any such agreement under this Agreement. Any
exception to title not objected to by Purchaser in the manner and within the time period specified
in this Section 5.2(c) shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall constitute a
Permitted Exception hereunder, except that in no event shall Permitted Exceptions ever include
Mandatory Seller Cure Items. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of Purchaser’s Title
Objection Notice, Sellers may deliver to Purchaser Sellers’ written notice (“Seller’s Response Notice”) setting forth which (if any) of the Title Defects Sellers are willing to cure or
otherwise cause to be removed as exceptions in the New Title Policy (the “Seller’s Initial Cure Items”). In the event that (i) Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Response Notice, (ii)
Seller delivers a Seller’s Response Notice but fails to cure or to cause the cure of any Seller
Cure Items prior to the end of the Inspection Period, or (iii) Seller’s Response Notice fails to
obligate Seller to cure all of the Title Defects which are not Mandatory Seller Cure Items, then
Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole right and remedy, either (A) elect to terminate this Agreement
and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements (except the provisions hereof and thereof which
expressly survive Closing) by written notice to Sellers delivered prior to the expiration of the
Inspection Period pursuant to Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement, in which event the
provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement governing a permitted termination by Purchaser of the
entire Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements shall apply, or (B) proceed to close,
accepting title to the Property subject to the Title Defects specified in the Title Objection
Notice (excluding Mandatory Seller Cure Items), in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have
waived in all respects such Title Defects; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in all
events Sellers shall be obligated to cause the removal or cure of the Mandatory Seller Cure Items
at or prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct from the Purchase Price the
amount of Title Defects having an ascertainable amount that will be paid or cured by Purchaser
after Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers expressly agree
to cause to be cured or removed as exceptions
14
from each New Title Policy the following (the “Mandatory Seller Cure Items”): (v) matters that
Seller has elected in writing to cure as provided in Section 5.3(c) above, (w) except for
those matters and circumstances described in the other subsections of this definition of the term
“Mandatory Seller Cure Items”, title exceptions recorded with respect to the Asset by or with the
consent of Sellers or their Affiliates after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the effective date of the
Title Commitment pertaining to the Asset last delivered prior to March 22, 2007, or caused by or
arising out of the actions of Sellers or their Affiliates after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the
effective date of the Title Commitment pertaining to the Asset last delivered prior to March 22,
2007, and which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the title, use,
operation or value of the Asset, (x) mortgage liens placed on the Asset by a Seller or its
Affiliate, (y) mechanics liens placed on the Asset in connection with work done at the Asset by or
on behalf of Seller or its Affiliate, and (z) intentionally omitted.
(d) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be
obligated hereunder to cure any Title Defects other than the Mandatory Seller Cure Items.
(e) Intentionally Omitted.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Permitted Exceptions,” shall mean the
following: (i) all exceptions and objections to title set forth in the Title Commitment and in the
Existing Survey and New Survey, including all Title Defects which Purchaser is deemed to have
approved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(c) above, but excluding any Title
Defect that constitutes a Mandatory Seller Cure Item; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) any rights
of licensees or other third parties under any Operating Agreements not terminated as of Closing (if
recorded, by memorandum or otherwise); (iv) non-delinquent taxes and assessments for the year in
which Closing occurs and subsequent years; (v) matters created by, through or under Purchaser,
including without limitation any liens and encumbrances arising after the Effective Date to which
Purchaser consents in writing; (vi) intentionally omitted; (vii) intentionally omitted; (viii)
exceptions for the Material Agreements and any recorded memoranda with respect to the foregoing;
and (ix) exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form and approved by Purchaser
during the Inspection Period (except to the extent that that the Title Company has agreed to remove
or modify same prior to Closing). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything
seemingly to the contrary herein, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (x) in no event shall
the Inspection Period be extended for any reason in connection with Purchaser’s review of or
objections to title, and that Purchaser’s sole remedy if it is unsatisfied with such review of or
objections to title shall be to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement; and (y) if Purchaser
fails to deliver notice of termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period in accordance with Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed
to have approved the title to the Property; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in
all events Sellers shall be obligated to remove and cure the Mandatory Seller Cure Items at or
prior to the Closing and in no event shall the term Permitted Exceptions include the Mandatory
Seller Cure Items.
(g) At Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Purchaser a New Title Policy (hereinafter
defined). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “New Title Policy” shall mean a 1970-ALTA
Extended Coverage Owner Policy of Title Insurance with such endorsements as may be requested by
Purchaser and agreed to in writing by Title Company prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, insuring Purchaser’s title to the Land in the amount of the Purchase Price as specified in
the Title Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
15
5.3 Inspection Period.
(a) During the period from the Effective Date until Closing or the earlier termination of this
Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct its due diligence and a physical inspection of
the Property at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with this Agreement. In addition to
such other activities that Purchaser may determine to be appropriate to carry out such due
diligence, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives may (i) examine the physical structures and
components of the Asset, including, without limitation, the life safety systems, electrical,
mechanical, and HVAC systems; (ii) conduct studies to determine that the Asset and the operation
thereof complies with all requirements of all Governmental Bodies having jurisdiction with respect
thereto, including, without limitation matters of zoning, building code compliance, compliance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act; (iii) make such studies and investigations, conduct such tests
and surveys and engage such independent contractors, environmental engineers, environmental
consultants, and experts as necessary to enable Purchaser to evaluate any and all environmental
risks associated with the ownership and operation of the Asset and its compliance with
Environmental Law; (iv) interview all senior management personnel with respect to the Asset, upon
reasonable prior notice (of not less than twenty-four (24) hours), and Sellers shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make such personnel available or assist Purchaser in arranging
the same, and (v) otherwise CONDUCT A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND EXAMINATION
OF THE ASSET EMPLOYING THE LEVELS OF DUE DILIGENCE AS PURCHASER MAY ELECT TO PERFORM IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. To the extent Purchaser does not currently
have available its own employees who are competent to conduct such examinations and inspections,
Purchaser shall have the right to retain such Representatives, consultants, independent
contractors and other professional advisors as necessary to enable it to complete its due
diligence and investigation of the Property as Purchaser determines is necessary in its sole and
absolute discretion. From and after the Effective Date and until the earlier to occur of
termination of this Agreement or Closing, Purchaser and its representatives and agents will have
the right, upon reasonable prior notice (of not less than one (1) Business Day) to enter upon the
Land and Improvements for the purpose of examining, inspecting and testing the Property. Purchaser
will provide the Sellers and Manager with reasonable notice regarding the scope and execution of
its activities, including proposed timing of inspections and any anticipated need to interview
specified personnel. Purchaser will not unreasonably disturb or interfere with the operation,
management or use of the Asset by the Sellers, the Manager or by any of their respective agents,
customers, invitees, or guests. Neither Purchaser nor any of its agents or contractors may conduct
inspection activities that involve the disassembly of any building components, the removal of
permanent wall coverings or partitions, the drilling or boring into the Land or Improvements, or
any other similar invasive activity without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but may be further conditioned
on such adequate bonds and additional security as the Sellers may reasonably require to protect
itself and the Property from loss, damage or injury. Purchaser waives and releases any claims,
demands, damages, actions, causes of action, or other remedies of any kind whatsoever against the
Sellers and the Manager for property damages or bodily and/or personal injuries to Purchaser, its
agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees arising out of its inspections of the
Property or its use in any manner of the Property unless caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Sellers. Purchaser shall procure and continue in force from and after the date
Purchaser first enters the Property, and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement,
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence, or Commercial General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence and $2,000,000 per event. The Sellers and the Manager each shall be included as an
Additional Insured under such Comprehensive General Liability or Commercial General Liability
Coverage. Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds the Sellers and the Manager harmless from all
claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees), actions, and causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to the
inspections performed by Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, servants, and/or
employees (collectively, the “Purchaser
16
Inspection Parties”), but such indemnity shall not include (i) claims related to pre-existing
conditions discovered by a Purchaser Inspection Party except to the extent of any exacerbation of
such conditions caused by a Purchaser Inspection Party or (ii) to the extent such claims are
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers or any Affiliate, it being
understood and agreed that the foregoing indemnity includes an indemnification with respect to
claims due to the negligence of the indemnitees, as and to the extent provided herein. The
provisions of this Section 5.3(a) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this
Agreement and are not subject to any liquidated damage limitation on remedies, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement.
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition to Purchaser’s being provided with
the Property Information and the Additional Property Materials and being provided access to the
Property, Purchaser shall treat as confidential all information contained therein or learned in
connection therewith in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 5.3(b),
except to the extent that any such information (i) was already in Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s
Representatives’ possession prior to the date Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives was
given access to the “CrescentConnect” website, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other
than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, (iii) becomes
available to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Sellers or their respective Affiliates or advisors, provided that such source is not
known by Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy
to the Sellers, their respective Affiliates or another party; (iv) is compelled or permitted to be
disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or (v) is independently developed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s
Representatives (collectively, the “Confidential Information Exclusions”). Purchaser hereby
agrees that the Property Information and Additional Property Materials will be used solely for the
purpose of evaluating the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, and that such
information will be kept confidential by Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, provided,
however, that (A) any of such information may be disclosed to Purchaser’s Representatives who need
to know such information for the purpose of evaluating such transactions (it being understood that
such Representatives shall be informed by Purchaser of the confidential nature of such information
and shall be directed by Purchaser to treat such information confidentially), and (B) any
disclosure of such information may be made to which the Sellers consent in writing. Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that Purchaser is aware, and that Purchaser will advise such Representatives
who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this Section 5.3(b), that the
United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material,
non-public information concerning the matters which are the subject hereof from (I) purchasing or
selling securities of such issuer and, if applicable, securities of such issuer’s affiliates and
subsidiaries, or (II) communicating such material, non-public information to any other person under
circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell
such securities. In addition, without the prior written consent of the Sellers, Purchaser will not,
and will direct its Representatives not to, disclose to any person other than its Representatives
any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to the transactions that are the subject
of this Agreement, including the status of such transactions. Purchaser agrees not to solicit for
employment or hire any of the current employees of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates to
whom Purchaser had been directly or indirectly introduced or otherwise had contact with as a result
of Purchaser’s consideration of the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, for a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
the Sellers; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to general solicitations,
third-party calls from recruiters or employees who contact Purchaser on his or her own initiatives
or individuals who are terminated by Sellers. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Property
Information and Additional Property Materials are being provided to Purchaser in consideration of
Purchaser’s agreement that, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, (x)
Purchaser will not propose to any of the Sellers or their Affiliates or any other Person any
transaction between Purchaser and any Seller and/or its security holders, or between Purchaser and
an Affiliate of any
17
Seller and/or its security holders, or involving any of the securities or security holder of a
Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, except for the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, unless the Sellers shall have requested in writing that Purchaser make such a proposal,
and (y) Purchaser will not acquire, or assist, advise or encourage any other persons in acquiring,
directly or indirectly, control of any Seller or its Affiliates, or any of the securities,
businesses or assets of a Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, unless the Sellers shall have
consented in advance in writing to such acquisition. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Sellers agree that such provisions shall be inapplicable if
(1) Purchaser acquires the Asset pursuant to this Agreement or any or all of the Other Assets
pursuant to any Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, or (2) the Board of Trust Managers of the
Sellers’ publicly-traded parent company undertakes a process to formally solicit proposals to buy
or sell all or substantially all assets of such company. Purchaser also agrees that the Sellers
shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunction, in the event of any breach of
the provisions of this Section 5.3(b) and that Purchaser shall not oppose the granting of
such relief. In the event that Purchaser is requested or required (by oral questions,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or
other process) to disclose any of the Property Information Materials or Additional Property
Materials, Purchaser will provide Sellers with prompt notice, to the extent permissible under
applicable law or regulation, of any such request or requirement so that the Sellers may seek an
appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this letter. If a
protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been obtained, or if prior notice is
not possible, and Purchaser is, in the opinion of Purchaser’s counsel, compelled to disclose any
of the Property Information Materials or Additional Property Materials, Purchaser may disclose
that portion of the Property Information Materials and Additional Property Materials which
Purchaser’s counsel advises that Purchaser is compelled to disclose. Purchaser agrees to cooperate
with the Sellers in any action brought by the Sellers to obtain an appropriate protective order or
other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Property Information
Material and Additional Property Materials. The provisions of this Section 5.3(b) shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
(c) At any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser has the right to
elect to terminate this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements if Purchaser is not
satisfied with the physical condition of the Property, the state of title and/or any other matter
pertaining to the Property. Any such election to terminate this Agreement and the other Purchase
and Sale Agreements must be in writing, and upon timely receipt thereof by the Sellers and the
Title Company, the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded to Purchaser, and thereupon this Agreement and
the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements will be terminated and of no further force and effect
whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreement which
expressly survive termination. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.3(c), (i) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Sellers any
New Survey obtained by Purchaser under this Agreement or the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements;
(ii) Purchaser shall promptly restore the Property and the Other Property to their original
condition if damaged or changed due to the inspections performed by a Purchaser Inspection Party,
free of any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or other encumbrances arising out of any of the
inspections or tests; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in subpart (v) of Section 5.3(b) above, Purchaser shall keep confidential the results of any tests and inspections made by a
Purchaser Inspection Party, and shall not disclose or permit any Purchaser Inspection Party to
disclose any of the same to any third parties except as expressly permitted by subparts (A) and (B)
of Section 5.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s termination rights as set forth in this
Section 5.3(c) pertain to all, but not fewer than all, of the Asset comprising the Property
and the Other Assets and Other Property. The provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale
Agreements.
18
(d) If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale
Agreements prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then (i) this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect; (ii) Purchaser will be deemed to have determined that the Property is
satisfactory and feasible for its intended use; and (iii) Purchaser will be deemed to have agreed
to accept title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and on an “AS IS” basis as
described in Section 6.31 below, except for the Seller Matters.
(e) Intentionally Omitted.
5.4
Assignments, Assumptions and Consents.
(a) Intentionally Omitted.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) During the Inspection Period, Purchaser and Sellers agree to furnish to the other parties
under the Material Agreements such documents and information with respect to the Sellers, Purchaser
and their Affiliates as such other parties may reasonably request in connection with Purchaser’s
assumption of the Material Agreements. At Closing, Purchaser and Sellers will enter into an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement (herein so called) in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit K with respect to each Material Agreement, but with applicable changes if
the applicable Material Agreement (i) provides for, or the other party thereto permits, Sellers to
be released, or released from and after Closing, from their obligations under the Material
Agreement, or (ii) requires the consent of the other party to such assignment and assumption;
provided, however, the release of Sellers shall not be a condition of Closing. Purchaser and
Sellers shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any such other party to release
Sellers and their Affiliates from their respective obligations under the applicable Material
Agreement (or their respective obligations after Closing if a full release is not available), and
to obtain the written consent of any such other party to such assignment and assumption by
Purchaser (to the extent consent is required by the underlying agreement). Sellers agree to use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in obtaining consents to assignment and
estoppel certificates from other parties to the Material Agreements and applicable Permitted
Exceptions during the Inspection Period.
(d) During the Inspection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with one
another if any filings are necessary under the filing requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. 18a).

Accounts Receivable outstanding thirty (30) days or less at Closing, ninety percent (90%) of all
such Accounts Receivable outstanding more than thirty (30) days and less than sixty (60) days at
Closing and no proration for Accounts Receivable outstanding sixty (60) or more days. For the
purposes of this Agreement, “Accounts Receivable” means, with respect to the Asset, all
amounts which the Sellers are entitled to receive from the operation of the golf facility prior to
the Closing Date, but which are not paid as of the Closing Date, including as applicable, without
limitation, charges for (A) the use or occupancy of any guest, conference, meeting or banquet

tee times, court reservations, lessons, tournaments, group bookings and course rentals, (D) spa
and fitness center services and classes, or (E) any other goods or services provided by or on
behalf of the Sellers at the golf facility, but expressly excluding any credit card charges and
checks which the Sellers have submitted for payment as of the Closing Date. In addition, Purchaser
covenants and agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to collect all such Accounts
Receivable after Closing and to pay to Seller promptly following receipt the amount of any
recovery with respect to such Accounts Receivable in excess of (1) the sum of the actual third
party out of pocket costs incurred by Purchaser in collecting same, (2) amounts applied to the
payment of current Accounts Receivable, and (3) the prorated value amount Purchaser paid to Seller
for the Accounts Receivable under this subsection (ix) of this Agreement.
(x) SGC Membership Documents. A proration shall be made with respect to the deposits
paid by members under the SGC Membership Documents, liabilities to members under the SGC
Membership Documents, and with respect to amounts currently due or to be paid after Closing

Price for any payments made to the Sellers on the account receivable balances under the SGC
Membership Documents between February 23, 2007 and the Closing Date and for any cash or other
remuneration received for the sale of new memberships after February 23, 2007; provided no amount
shall be due from Purchaser to Seller under this Section 9.4(a)(x).
(xi) Employee Compensation. As used herein, “Compensation” shall mean the direct
salaries and wages and other aggregate compensation paid to or accrued for the benefit of any
employee with respect to the Asset together with all fringe benefits payable to or accrued for the
benefit of such employee as to which the employer is responsible,
30
including, without limitation, employer contributions under F.I.C.A., fringe
benefits, annual bonuses, unemployment tax or other employment taxes, pension fund

disability and other similar benefits, including severance, and all other
contributions to, and amounts paid or accrued under, pension and other employee
benefit plans and equivalent or similar benefits available to employees or otherwise
required under the Management Agreement. For these purposes, vacation benefits, sick
leave, annual bonuses and related payroll expenses of Manager’s Employees as of the
Closing shall be treated as accrued and subject to proration whether or not subject
to later vesting, any expiration if not used or termination in the event of the
employee’s departure for any reason. Sellers shall be responsible for ensuring the
payment at Closing of any Compensation accrued and unpaid prior to the date of
Closing with respect to the operations of the Property prior to Closing, but
excluding in any event Compensation due because of a breach by Purchaser of its
obligations under Section 13.3 hereof. Purchaser shall be responsible for
and shall pay (i) all Compensation with respect to the operations of the Property on
and after the date of Closing, (ii) all Compensation of Manager which is accrued but
not payable as of the Closing and for which Purchaser is credited at Closing, and
(iii) all Compensation which would be owing by virtue of Purchaser’s breach of its
obligations under Section 13.3 hereof.
(xii) Utilities. With respect to electricity, telephone, television,
telecom, cable television, gas, water and sewer services that are metered and other
utilities (collectively, the “Utilities”). Sellers shall endeavor to have the
respective companies providing the Utilities read the meters for the Utilities on or
immediately prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall be responsible for all charges
based on such final meter reading, and Purchaser shall be responsible for all
charges thereafter. If such readings are not obtainable, then, until such time as
readings are obtained, charges for all Utilities for which readings were not
obtained shall be pro rated as of the Closing Date based upon the per diem rate
obtained by using the last period and bills for such Utilities that are available.
Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such apportionment shall be adjusted
to reflect the actual per diem rate for the billing period in which the date of
Closing falls, and Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver
to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment. Advance cash
payments to Seller under such agreements shall be prorated as of the Closing Date
over the entire term of such agreement.
(xiii) Vouchers. Purchaser shall receive a credit for the amount of
any outstanding, verifiable vouchers, gift cards or gift certificates.
(b) Operational Taxes. The Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all
applicable bulk sales taxes, sales taxes and use taxes attributable to the Asset for the period
prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all such taxes
attributable to the Asset for the period from and after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall receive
a credit for any such taxes attributable to the Asset for the period prior to the Closing Date
which Seller has not paid.
(c) Other Prorations. All normal and customarily proratable items, including rents
(including base rents, additional rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges and real
estate taxes), operating expenses and payments relating to any agreements affecting the Property
which survive the Closing, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, the Sellers being charged and
credited for all of same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any
amounts paid by the Sellers
31
attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date) and Purchaser being responsible
for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the period on and
after the Closing Date. The Sellers shall in all events be entitled to retain amounts paid by any
tenants for reimbursement of real estate taxes and assessments, common area maintenance, premiums
relating to the insurance policies insuring all or any part of the Property (collectively, the
“Insurance Policies”), and all other charges to or contributions by tenants under leases other than
base rent as of the Closing to the extent (i) such amounts relate to expenses incurred and paid by
the Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date or for which the Sellers would remain obligated after
the Closing, and (ii) tenants have no claims or right to repayment of such funds collected by the
Sellers prior to the Closing Date. Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or
any installment of assessments payable in installments which installment is payable in the year of
Closing, shall be prorated to the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. In connection
with the proration of real property taxes or installments of assessments, such proration shall be
for all unpaid periods up to and including Closing and be based upon the assessed valuation and tax
rate figures for the year in which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available;
provided, that in the event that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the
Property or for the tax rate) for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the
proration shall be made using the figures from the preceding year for the figures which are
unavailable for the year of Closing. The proration shall be final and unadjustable except as
provided in the following paragraphs. Seller shall endeavor to submit a draft settlement statement
to Purchaser for review and approval four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date containing
Seller’s good faith estimate of all items to be prorated or credited at Closing. Purchaser shall
review the draft settlement statement and, not later than the second Business Day after its receipt
of the same, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller any comments which Purchaser may have with respect
thereto, or any objection it may have to the amounts shown thereon, together with its reasons for
such objection. Thereafter, Seller and Purchaser (each acting reasonably and in good faith) shall
attempt to resolve, prior to the Closing Date, any disagreement with respect to such draft
settlement statement.
(d) Reproration Obligations. If any of the items subject to proration under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4 cannot be prorated at the Closing because of the
unavailability of the information necessary to compute such proration, or if any errors or
omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then
such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable
after the Closing Date (a “Reproration Obligation”) and the proper Party reimbursed, which
obligation shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period. No Party hereto shall have the right
to require a recomputation of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a
Closing proration unless within the Survival Period one of the Parties hereto (i) has obtained the
previously unavailable information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given
notice thereof to the other Party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the
proration and copies of all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a
Party to obtain any previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with
respect to an item subject to proration hereunder and to give notice thereof as provided above
within the Survival Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a
correction of an error or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the reproration obligations set forth
herein with respect to the reproration of real estate taxes shall survive the Closing for a period
of two (2) years.
(e) Sellers’ Survival Period for Reproration Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
set forth herein, Sellers shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to a Reproration
Obligation of Sellers unless prior to the end of the Survival Period (or, with respect to the
reproration of real estate taxes, before the end of the two-year period following the Closing
Date), Purchaser notifies the Sellers in writing setting forth specifically and in reasonable
detail the Reproration Obligation and the information with respect to such Reproration Obligation
as described in Section 9.4(d); provided, that the foregoing provisions of this Section
9.4(e) shall be not be subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of
32
Section 11.3 but shall be subject to Section 11.7. All liability or obligation of
the Sellers with respect to any Reproration Obligations shall lapse and be of no further force or
effect with respect to any matters not contained in a written notice delivered to the Sellers as
contemplated herein on or prior to the end of the Survival Period (or, with respect to the
reproration of real estate taxes, before the end of the two-year period following the Closing
Date).
(f) Purchaser Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall assume and be responsible for the
timely satisfaction or performance, as the case may be, of all Purchaser Assumed Liabilities. With
the exception of the Purchaser Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not by execution and
performance of this Agreement or otherwise, assume or otherwise be responsible for any liability or
obligation of any nature of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller or claims of such liability or
obligation, to the extent arising out of occurrences prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement and in furtherance of the collective net worth
requirements set forth in Section 13.6, Purchaser agrees that the obligations of Xxxxxx TCC
Hotel Investors V, L.L.C. and of each assignee Purchaser under Section 14.4 below shall be

Other Purchase and Sale Agreements on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

Exceptions. Additionally, as of the Closing and with respect to the Asset, (a) the Sellers shall

other electronic communications and excluding privileged communications; provided, however, that
each Seller shall have the right to redact and reformat any books or records which include data or
other information pertaining to any other golf facilities owned, managed or franchised by such
Seller, its Manager, any third-party asset manager or their respective Affiliates; and (b) the
Sellers shall instruct the Manager or third-party asset manager, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Management Agreement, to retain and make available at the physical
location of the Asset (to the extent that the same are in the possession of the Manager,
third-party asset manager or their respective Affiliates) all originals (or copies if originals are
not available) of the following pertaining to and as applicable to the Asset: golfers reservations
list(s); Operating Agreements (to the extent assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement); plans,
specifications, mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts; operating manuals; Permits;

combinations, security clearances, keys and lock combinations which shall be located at the golf
facility on the Closing Date, and deemed to be delivered to Purchaser upon delivery of possession
of the golf facility.
9.6 Operating Agreements. At least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall
deliver to the Sellers written notice (the “Operating Agreement Termination Notice”) of any
Operating Agreements which Purchaser desires for the Sellers to terminate. The Sellers shall give
notice of termination of such disapproved Operating Agreement(s) at Closing; provided,
however, if by the terms of the disapproved Operating Agreement(s) the Sellers has no right to
terminate the same at Closing, or if any fee or other compensation is due thereunder as a result of
such termination, Purchaser shall be required at Closing to assume all obligations thereunder until
the effective date of the termination and shall be responsible for the payment of the
termination-related charge. Except as Seller may otherwise agree in writing prior to the expiration
of the Inspection Period, Purchaser must assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing
Date under those Operating Agreements (a) that Purchaser does not designate for termination in the
Operating Agreement Termination Notice delivered prior to the Closing Date, or that Purchaser is
obligated to assume pursuant to this Section 9.6, and (b) for which a termination notice is
delivered as of or prior to Closing but for which termination is not effective until after Closing.
33
9.7 Intentionally Omitted.
9.8 Brokers’ Commission. If and only if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are consummated, the Sellers has agreed to pay a commission at Closing, as and to the extent
required by a separate agreement, to the Sellers’ Broker listed on Schedule 6.10 attached

from any other claim, liability, obligation, cost or expense
(including attorneys’ fees and
expenses) for fees or commissions relating to Purchaser’s purchase of the Property asserted against
any Party by any other broker or other Person claiming by, through or under the indemnifying Party

Agreement other than a deliberate, willful default by Seller of its obligations under Section
9.2(a) or Article XIII hereof or thereof, and other than a default otherwise subject to

Purchase and Sale Agreement (provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Asset.” and the circumstances described in such
subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be

not terminated this Agreement or any Other Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to the Asset
or any Other Asset except pursuant to Sections 12.1 or 12.2 hereof or thereof, and
(iii) the Party requesting the further extension is not in default under this Agreement or under
any Other Purchase and Sale Agreement except with respect to the applicable unsatisfied Extension
Condition with respect to the Problem Asset that is the subject of the second Deferral Notice
request, then the applicable Party may, upon written notice to the other Party delivered on or
before the Closing Date (as the same has been extended for an initial Deferral Period under
Section 10.3(a)), defer such extended Closing Date for a second Deferral Period with
respect to not more than one (1) Problem Asset (exclusive of a deferral with respect to the
Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa and Sonoma Golf Club, the Renaissance Houston or the Denver
Marriot pursuant to Sections 10.3(d), (e) or (f) below), to provide additional time to

however, that if such extended Closing Date is deferred with respect to one (1) Problem Asset for
an additional Deferral Period in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section
10.3(b), then on the Closing Date (as the same has been extended for an initial Deferral
Period under this Section 10.3(b) and without reference to any second Deferral Period),
the Parties shall proceed to close on the Asset and all Other Assets other than (x) such one (1)
Problem Asset, (y) any Asset subject to an additional Deferral Period as described in Sections

terminate the applicable Agreement or Other Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to Sections 12.1
or 12.2 hereof or thereof. If the Extension Condition has not been satisfied for such one
(1) Problem Asset by the end of the second Deferral Period, then, so long as the Party requesting
the additional Deferral Period under this Section 10.3(b) has, during the second Deferral
Period, used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cure or assist the other Party in curing, as
applicable,
37
such Extension Condition, then either Sellers or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement or Other
Purchase and Sale Agreement, as applicable, with respect to such one (1) Problem Asset except for
the provisions that expressly survive termination, whereupon Purchaser shall receive a refund of
the Xxxxxxx Money allocated to such one (1) Problem Asset.

contrary in this Agreement, the Asset and the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa shall be treated as
a single Asset for the purposes of this Section 10.3.
(d) Houston Declaration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
10.3, so long as such Party is not then in default under this Agreement or under an Other
Purchase and Sale Agreement, (i) in the event that as of the initial Closing Date the condition to
Closing with respect to the Houston Declaration as set forth in Sections 10.1(g) and
10.2 (e) of this Agreement has not been satisfied, either Party may, upon written notice to
the other Party delivered on or before the original Closing Date, defer the Closing Date for the
Renaissance Houston, the Asset and all the Other Assets for an initial Deferral Period to provide
additional time to satisfy such condition, and (ii) in the event that as of the Closing Date (as it
has been extended for an initial Deferral Period in order to allow additional time to satisfy the
condition to Closing with respect to the Houston Declaration as set forth in Sections 10.1(g)

may, upon written notice to the other Party delivered on or before such Closing Date, defer the
Closing Date for the Renaissance Houston for a second Deferral Period to provide additional time to
satisfy such condition. In the event the Parties have exercised their extension options under this
Section 10.3(d) but the condition to Closing with respect to the Houston Declaration as set
forth in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.2 (e) of this Agreement has not been satisfied as
of (x) the Closing Date at the end of the first Deferral Period and neither Party has elected to
extend the Closing Date for a second Deferral Period in order to provide additional time to cure

condemned or taken by eminent domain or conveyed by deed in lieu thereof, or a Condemnation
proceeding is commenced for all or any portion of the Asset (a “Condemnation”), and (b) either such
Condemnation is not a Major Condemnation or Purchaser has elected not to terminate this Agreement
with respect to the Asset due to such Major Condemnation, this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect and both Parties shall proceed to close the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to
the terms hereof, in which event the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing any proceeds
actually received by the Sellers attributable to the Asset from such Condemnation (provided the

Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), and (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price. Purchaser
may elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Asset subject to Major Condemnation
proceedings (but not any Other Asset) by giving written notice of its election to Sellers not more
than ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser receives notice of such Condemnation; Purchaser’s
failure to give written notice to Sellers within such ten (10) Business Day period shall constitute
Purchaser’s election to proceed to Closing with respect to the Asset. If Purchaser timely elects

12.1, the Title Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser and neither Sellers nor

the Asset due to such Major Casualty, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and both
Parties shall proceed to close the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to the terms hereof,
in which event the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing (i) any insurance proceeds
actually received by the Sellers attributable to the Asset from such casualty (except for proceeds
previously used in connection with repairs to the Asset) and (ii) the amount of any deductible(s)

interruption attributable to the period of time after Closing, that exceeds the lesser of (a) Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000), and (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price. Purchaser may
elect to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Asset subject to Major Casualty proceedings
(but not any Other Asset) by giving written notice of its election to Sellers not more than ten
(10) Business Days after Purchaser receives notice of such Casualty; Purchaser’s failure to give
written notice to Sellers within such ten (10) Business Day period shall constitute Purchaser’s
election to proceed to Closing with respect to the Asset. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate
this Agreement as a result of a Major Casualty as provided in this
Section 12.2, the Title
Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser and neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have
any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the obligations of the Parties
which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, including, Purchaser’s obligations under
Section 5.3 of this Agreement.

Notification; Loss Determination. The Sellers shall notify Purchaser of any

contained in this Article XII, the Closing Date shall be deferred by the number of days
from the date of the Sellers’ notice under this Section 12.3 of the Casualty or
Condemnation to and including the date of Purchaser’s response notice (or failure thereof) under
Section 12.1 or 12.2, as applicable. The amount of loss in the case of a dispute between
Sellers and Purchaser as to whether such loss was “Major” shall be determined by a general
contractor engaged in both new construction and major renovation projects in the location of the
Asset, which general contractor has been jointly selected by a general contractor working in such
location identified by the Sellers, and a general contractor working in such location identified
by Purchaser, whose determination shall be binding upon the Parties. As used in this Article
XII, “Proceeds” means the amount of all insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or other
amounts that have been paid or may thereafter be payable to or for the account of the Sellers in
connection with a taking or damage/destruction (including any amounts recoverable under any rent

Investors V, L.L.C. and each assignee Purchaser under Section 14.4 below shall collectively
maintain, and shall cause any Purchaser Guarantor (as hereinafter defined), if required, to
maintain, a collective Net Worth (as hereinafter defined) of at least $20,000,000 for a period of
two (2) years from and after the Closing Date. If at any time during such two-year period Purchaser
and such assignees fail to collectively comply with the foregoing covenant, Purchaser shall deliver
to the Sellers a written agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers in form and substance,
executed by a creditworthy Affiliate of Purchaser with a Net Worth of at least $20,000,000 (the
“Purchaser Guarantor”), in which the Purchaser Guarantor guarantees the performance of all of
Purchaser’s post-Closing obligations through the end of such two-year period. Within ten (10) days
after written request from the Sellers from time to time (but not more frequently than quarterly),
Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers current financial statements (audited if available, or
otherwise certified by Purchaser’s authorized representative to be true and correct in all material
respects) for Xxxxxx TCC Hotel Investors V, L.L.C. and each assignee Purchaser under Section
14.4 below and for any Purchaser’s Guarantor, which statements shall at a minimum provide
sufficient information to reflect the Net Worth of such Person, as applicable, as of the date of
such statements. For the purposes of this Section 13.6, “Net Worth” means for any Person,
as of any date, the amount equal to the sum of the total assets as reflected on the balance sheet
of such Person (exclusive of unrealized appreciation in an amount that will not cause the equity
value of an investment to be less than zero), plus, an amount equal to the unpaid capital
obligations of the members of such Person (other than defaulting members), less total liabilities
as reflected on the balance sheet of such Person. The provisions of this Section 13.4
shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years.

14.2 Governing Law. WITH RESPECT TO THE ASSET, THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO BE PERFORMED
IN THE STATE WHERE THE ASSET IS LOCATED, AND THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE SHALL GOVERN THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE INTEREST IN THE ASSET THAT IS TRANSFERRED OR CREATED BY THE
TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUT THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
(WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES OF THE STATE OF TEXAS) SHALL OTHERWISE GOVERN THIS
AGREEMENT. The Parties hereto agree that should any suit, action or proceeding arising out of this

jurisdiction, such as reasonable fees and expenses of local counsel and travel and lodging expenses
for parties, witnesses, experts and support personnel. The provisions of this Section 14.2
shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
14.3 Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement (and the Other Purchase Agreements for the
Other Assets) embody the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings, if any, relating to the transaction described herein, and may be amended or
supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the Party against whom enforcement is
sought.

without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent may be granted or withheld by the
Sellers in their sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment in violation of this

Purchaser shall have the right (i) without Sellers’ consent to assign this Agreement to an
Affiliate of Purchaser, but only if Purchaser executes and delivers to Sellers a written assignment
and assumption agreement whereunder Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is not released from
its obligations hereunder, and (ii) with Seller’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, to a assign the right to acquire the Asset to a third party purchaser
thereof, in which case, Seller agrees that performance shall be granted under this Agreement

of title to the Asset) and the rights and obligations as to the Asset (other than the obligation to
pay the Purchase Price, which shall be paid by or through Purchaser) shall inure also to and for
the benefit of such third party purchaser. In the event of an assignment of this Agreement by
Purchaser (including any assignment permitted by the preceding sentence of this Section
14.4), (a) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(f) above, Purchaser
shall not be released from any liability or obligations hereunder,(b) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Sellers a copy of the instrument effecting such
assignment, and (c) as a condition precedent to any assignment by Purchaser hereunder, Purchaser shall first have
obtained all Required Consents with respect to the assignee and the Asset or Other Asset. In
addition, none of the
48
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or indemnities made by the Sellers in this
Agreement or pursuant to the Closing Deliveries shall inure to the benefit of any Person that may,
after the Closing Date, succeed to Purchaser’s interest in all or any part of the Property other
than a permitted assignee of Purchaser under this Section 14.4. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Sellers and Purchaser and
their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. The provisions
of this Section 14.4 shall survive the Closing.

do not constitute substantive matter to be considered in construing the terms of this Agreement.
14.6 Interpretation. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have
participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, and the Parties hereby agree
that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against

any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,

herein. When the context in which words are used in this Agreement indicates that such is the
intent, words in the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa, words in the
masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, “including”

it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. The parties
hereto agree to exchange originally executed copies of this Agreement within three (3) Business

of this Section 14.12 shall not survive Closing but shall survive any termination of this
Agreement. The Confidential Information Exclusions shall apply and nothing in this Section shall
prohibit Purchaser from disclosing information and materials to third parties in connection with

49
Asset (including agreements binding thereon) and its financing of the purchase of the Asset

conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement from and after the Closing of such purchase and sale
hereunder.
