Beginning one (1) week prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Operating Lessee to provide to Purchaser, at no cost or expense to Purchaser, a meeting room suitable for Purchaser to conduct interviews and evaluate employment applications of those parties who may seek employment at the Property following Closing and Seller shall cause Operating Lessee to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser’s efforts to conduct such interviews.
6.6.    No Termination of Hotel Employees; WARN Act. On the Closing Date the employment of all Hotel Employees shall continue with the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager as the Management Agreement with the Manger will remain in effect as of the acquisition of the Property by the Buyer and no employees shall be terminated with respect to the transaction contemplated under this Agreement. Thus, no application of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”) is implicated. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing.

The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Closing.
6.8.    Exclusivity. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Effective Date and continuing so long as this Agreement is in effect, Seller shall cease marketing the Property for sale, and shall not negotiate offers or enter into back-up contracts for the sale of the Property.

The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing.
7.9.    Acquisition and Payment for Inventory. Xxxxxx agrees to sell to Purchaser and Xxxxxxxxx agrees to purchase from Seller the Inventory. Purchaser shall pay for same at cost on the Closing Date.

41554043v.8

agencies or authorities with Previously Due BERDO Filings. The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE VIII.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1.    Fire or Other Casualty. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty to the Property occurring between the Effective Date and the Closing Date of which Seller has knowledge. If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is fully insured (without regard to deductibles) and would cost not more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and require less than 180 days to repair, then neither party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase or sell the Property by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance for the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, to the extent such proceeds have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Seller for actual expenditures of restoration, plus Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the Purchase Price. If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and would cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or require more than 180 days to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this Section 8.1, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Should Purchaser elect to proceed to Closing notwithstanding the amount of the insured loss or the time required for repairs, the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser the insurance proceeds and grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible. If, prior to Closing, any Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is uninsured and would cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to the Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the estimated amount to repair such uninsured casualty is not more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) but more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Seller, at its option, may elect to provide Purchaser with a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing for the estimated amount to repair such casualty, in which event Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to an uninsured casualty as aforesaid, or if any uninsured fire or casualty would cost not more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)
    24
41554043v.8

to repair, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
8.2.    Condemnation. After the Effective Date, Xxxxxx agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any notice it receives of any taking or threat of taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Real Property. If such taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of such Real Property, the Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of taking referred to in this Section 8.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this Section 8.2, a taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel if it leaves remaining a balance of the Real Property in a condition which may not reasonably be anticipated to be economically operated for the purposes and in the manner in which the Real Property was operated prior to such taking. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or Operating Lessee or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller or Operating Lessee or Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property that does not materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of the Property, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property under this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller or Operating Lessee or Manager in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller or Operating Lessee or Manager to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, Seller shall notify Purchaser in advance
    25
41554043v.8

regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
8.3.    Broker. The parties acknowledge that Xxxxxx has been the procuring cause of this Agreement. It shall be the obligation of Seller to pay Broker its commission, when, as and if, and only if, the transaction contemplated hereby actually closes, in accordance with a separate agreement between the Broker and Seller. There is no other real estate broker involved in this transaction. Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that Purchaser has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Purchaser been introduced to the Property or to Seller by any other real estate broker, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any other person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Purchaser, or as a result of having introduced Purchaser to Seller or to the Property. In like manner, Seller warrants and represents to Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Seller been introduced to Purchaser by any other real estate broker, and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
8.4.    Bulk Sale. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that they do not intend to comply with and have agreed to waive the provisions of any statutory bulk sale or similar requirements, if applicable, to the transaction to be effected by this Agreement.
8.5.    Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser and Seller and their Affiliates shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and all documents or information disclosed to or made available to or discovered by each party in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Submission Matters) confidential and such information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall make any public announcements hereof unless and until the Closing occurs unless the other first reasonably approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose unless and until the Closing occurs the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or such other documents or information, except to persons who, in the reasonable business judgment of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, “need to know” for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and who are instructed to keep such information confidential, such as their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction (collectively, “Representatives”); provided, however, that information or documents shall not be
    26
41554043v.8

subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5 if, not otherwise in violation of this Section 8.5, such information or documents, (i) were or become(s) generally available to the public, or (ii) were or become(s) available to Purchaser or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its Affiliates or Manager. Upon full execution of this Agreement and if the Closing occurs, the parties may either make a joint press release, or each party may make an individual press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Seller is, or is an affiliate of, a REIT, and the REIT has and will seek to sell shares to the general public; consequently, Seller shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose any information regarding the transaction required by law or as determined to be necessary or appropriate by Seller or Seller’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or at any time following the expiration of the Study Period, either party may make a press release or file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission information regarding the Transaction. Seller and Purchaser and their Representatives are cautioned that United States securities laws restrict the purchase and sale of securities by anyone who possesses non-public information about the issue of such securities. Accordingly, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor its Representatives may buy or sell any of the securities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates so long as any of them is in possession of any material non-public information about the Seller or any of its Affiliates, including information contained in or derived from confidential information. The terms of this Section 8.5 shall supersede any prior confidentiality agreements executed by Seller, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries, to the extent such confidentiality agreements relate or refer, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 relating to press releases shall survive the Closing and all the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive a termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years after such termination; provided, however, that any liabilities or obligations of either Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries that may have accrued or arisen under any confidentiality agreements prior to the Effective Date shall survive such confidentiality agreements being superseded hereby.
If either Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives is required by any subpoena, interrogatories, request for production, or other legal process or by any Applicable Laws to disclose any confidential information, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will give the other party prompt written notice of the requirement and will cooperate with the other party so that the other party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order. In the absence of a protective order, the party required to disclose, including any Representatives, may disclose only such confidential information as may be necessary to avoid any penalty, sanction, or other material adverse consequence, and the party required to disclose will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any confidential information so disclosed.
Seller and Purchaser stipulate that the breach of the provisions of this Section 7.5 by the other party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives may cause irreparable harm to the non- breaching party for which damages may not constitute an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that any attempted, threatened, or actual breach of the provisions of this Section 7.5 by one party or its Affiliates or Representatives may be enjoined by an appropriate court order or judgment. The parties waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security as a
    27
41554043v.8

condition to such court order or judgment. Injunctive relief will not be the sole remedy of the non- breaching party for a breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5, and all legal and equitable remedies will continue to be available to the non-breaching party. If the non-breaching party is the prevailing party in any litigation relating to the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its Affiliates or Representatives, the non-breaching party will be entitled to recover (in addition to any damages or other relief granted) its reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such litigation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, any and all obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein (the “Confidentiality Obligations”), as they relate to the transactions and events contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”), shall not apply to the “structure or tax aspects” (as that phrase is used in Section 1.6011-4T(b)(3) [or any successor provision] of the Treasury Regulations [the “Confidentiality Regulation”] promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Transaction; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Obligations nevertheless shall apply at a given time to any and all items of information not required to be freely disclosable at such time in order for the Transaction not to be treated as “offered under conditions of confidentiality” within the meaning of the Confidentiality Regulation.
8.6.    Liquor Licenses. To the extent permitted by law, Seller or Operating Lessee shall transfer or cause to be transferred to Purchaser or its designee all alcoholic beverage licenses which are in their respective names and which are necessary to operate the restaurant, bars and lounges presently located within the Hotel (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, to the extent that applicable laws prohibit the transfer of any portion of Inventory connected with the same, then Purchaser or its designee shall still be required to purchase the Inventory, but the transfer of Inventory shall be appropriately limited or reduced as necessary to comply with such applicable laws without otherwise delaying Closing or reducing the Purchase Price, and such matters shall in no event constitute any breach or default by Seller or any failure of a condition hereunder). Seller (and Operating Lessee and their Affiliates) and Purchaser shall cooperate each with the other, and each shall execute or cause to be executed such transfer forms, license applications and other documents as may be necessary to effect such transfers and/or to permit Purchaser to obtain new alcoholic beverage licenses. If permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, such parties shall execute or cause to be executed and file all necessary transfer forms, applications and papers with the appropriate alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing, to the end that the transfer of the existing licenses (and/or such related Inventory) or Purchaser’s obtaining new licenses shall take effect, if possible, on the Closing Date, simultaneously with Closing. If not so permitted, then the parties agree each with the other that they will promptly execute or cause to be executed all transfer forms, applications and other documents required by the liquor authorities in order to effect such transfer or issuance of new licenses at the earliest date in time possible consistent with the laws of the State where the Property is located, in order that all existing alcoholic beverage licenses (and/or such related Inventory) may be transferred or new alcoholic beverage licenses issued to Purchaser or its designee at the earliest possible time. If upon Closing the existing liquor license has not been transferred to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee or, despite commercially reasonable good faith
    28
41554043v.8

efforts by Purchaser, a new liquor license has not been issued to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee, then, subject to Applicable Laws, Seller shall (not to include by Seller the expenditure of any money or guaranty of any obligation) cause the holder of the existing liquor license (the “Existing Permittee”) to enter into an interim liquor agreement (an “Interim Liquor Agreement”) or any other such license agreements, management agreements and/or other interim agreements, with Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee as may be reasonably necessary for the continuation of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel after the Closing and before such time as an Affiliate or designee of Purchaser (the “New Permittee”) obtains permits (the “New Liquor Permits”) relating to the sale and on-premises consumption of liquor and other alcoholic beverages to replace the existing liquor license; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Existing Permittee harmless from any liability, damages, costs, expenses or claims encountered in connection with such operations during said period of time, and Purchaser shall procure and pay for dram shop liability insurance (in amounts and with deductibles as previously maintained by Seller) naming Purchaser and Seller and Existing Permittee as insureds thereunder, and (ii) the obligation of Seller to cooperate and keep open the liquor facilities of the Hotel shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or earlier, if Purchaser obtains the New Liquor Permits at an earlier date. At such time after Closing as the New Liquor Permits are obtained, Existing Permittee or Seller, as applicable, will convey, at no additional costs, all alcoholic beverages to New Permittee by a conveyance document in form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Laws. Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to agree on the form of the Interim Liquor Agreement during the Study Period. This Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing. To the extent permissible in accordance with the Management Agreement, the Seller shall require the Manager to take all steps reasonably necessary to renew the Liquor License for 2025.
8.7.    Management Agreement. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall provide to Seller all of the information Seller needs of Purchaser which Seller is required to provide to Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement relating to the proposed sale of the Property, which Seller shall promptly submit to Manager. At Closing Purchaser shall, without liability or expense to Seller, assume the obligations of Seller and Operating Lessee, and any of their Affiliates, as applicable, under the Management Agreement, or any guarantee thereof. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, and hold Seller and Operating Lessee, and their Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that may at any time be incurred by Seller or Operating Lessee, or any of their Affiliates arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any obligation of, or default by, Purchaser under the Management Agreement which occurs, accrues or arises on or after the Closing Date. Seller agrees to indemnify, and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates arising out of, by reason of, or in connection with any obligation of or default by Seller under the Management Agreement which occurs, accrues or arises prior to the Closing Date. The obligations of Purchaser and Seller contained in this Section 8.7 shall survive Closing.
    29
41554043v.8

9.1.    Default by Seller/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Purchaser cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing (unless the failure to satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement, or is otherwise within the reasonable control of Purchaser or its Affiliates), and, if curable, if Seller fails to cure any such matter or satisfy such condition within ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), (which ten (10) business day or other such time periods shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of such ten (10) business day or other such time period), or upon the occurrence of any other event that would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, (ii) in the event such failure is due to the willful and intentional default of Seller, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser the sum of up to $100,000.00 for its actual third-party diligence costs incurred, and Purchaser shall retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, and (iii) all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; or (b) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, at the Closing, Seller fails to comply in any material respect with any of its obligations contained in Section 7.2 or 7.4 (the “Closing Obligations”), and if all conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder have been waived or satisfied, Purchaser shall have, in addition to Purchaser’s remedies contained in the preceding sentence, the option to waive all other actions, rights, or claims for damages for the failure to perform such Closing Obligations (other than costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement and its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement or Closing), and to bring an equitable action to enforce the Closing Obligations; provided, (i) Purchaser shall provide written notice of Purchaser’s intention to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance and Seller shall not have cured performance of the Closing Obligations within ten (10) business days following delivery of such notice, and (ii) Purchaser’s suit for specific performance shall be filed against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing this Agreement by specific performance and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein. In the event Purchaser files a suit to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance, Purchaser shall accept whatever title Seller has to the Property subject to all liens, encumbrances or other matters (other than Monetary Title Encumbrances) affecting title to the Property (all of which shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions) with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and in no event shall Seller be obligated to cure or remove or bond against any title defects, liens, encumbrances or other matters affecting title (other than Monetary Title Encumbrances).
    30
41554043v.8

9.2.    Default by Purchaser/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Seller (other than a default by Purchaser) cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, and if Purchaser fails to satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (b) to waive its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If Purchaser defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser fails to cure any such default within the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, then Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit and to retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to any notice and right to cure in the event it wrongfully fails to proceed to Closing as required by this Agreement. Seller and Xxxxxxxxx agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall receive the Deposit and retain the right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, as full and complete liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole remedy. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.3.    Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
9.4.    Limitation of Liability. Except in connection with a breach of Section 8.5 for which the parties may be liable for consequential damages, the liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each party hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not limit or affect the rights of Seller to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages as and when provided in this Agreement.
10.1.    Completeness; Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, agreements and negotiations between the parties hereto.
    31
41554043v.8

This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto.
10.2.    Assignments. Other than to an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior consent of Seller; however, any such assignment (including one to Purchaser’s Affiliate) shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement. To be effective hereunder, any assignment by Purchaser hereunder, even one to an Affiliate of Purchaser, must be accompanied by a fully executed and effective assignment and assumption agreement provided to Seller no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be released from its obligations hereunder, and the assignment and assumption agreement in connection therewith shall include a statement that all representations and warranties of Purchaser in Article IV of this Agreement are true of such assignee taking assignment of this Agreement as of the date of such assignment and will be true as of the Closing.
10.3.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted respective successors and assigns.
10.4.    Days. If any action is required to be performed, or if any notice, consent or other communication is given, on a day that is a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday in the jurisdiction in which the action is required to be performed or in which is located the intended recipient of such notice, consent or other communication, such performance shall be deemed to be required, and such notice, consent or other communication shall be deemed to be given, on the first business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to a “day” or “days” shall refer to calendar days and not business days.
10.5.    Governing Law. This Agreement and all documents referred to herein shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. This paragraph shall survive the closing or consummation of the conveyance contemplated by this Agreement, and any termination of this Agreement.
10.6.    Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required. It shall not be necessary that the signature on behalf of both parties hereto appear on each counterpart hereof. All counterparts hereof shall collectively constitute a single agreement. Telecopied signatures shall have the same valid and binding effect as original signatures.
10.7.    Severability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
    32
41554043v.8

10.8.    Costs. Regardless of whether Closing occurs hereunder, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each party hereto shall be responsible for its own costs in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, fees of attorneys, engineers and accountants.
10.9.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) by hand, (ii) if sent on a business day during the business hours of 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time, via email with a copy to follow by reputable overnight courier for next-day delivery, (iii) sent prepaid for next-day delivery by Federal Express (or a comparable overnight delivery service) or (iv) sent by the United States mail, certified, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, at the addresses and with such copies as designated below. Any notice, request, demand or other communication delivered or sent in the manner aforesaid may be given by the party required to give such notice, etc., or its attorney, and shall be deemed given or made (as the case may be) when actually delivered to or refused by the intended recipient.

10.10.    Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent referred to in the definition thereof contained in Section 1.1 hereof has agreed to act as such for the convenience of the parties without fee or other charges for such services as Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be liable: (a) to any of the parties for any act or omission to act except for its own willful misconduct; (b) for any legal effect, insufficiency, or undesirability of any instrument deposited with or delivered by Escrow Agent or exchanged by the parties hereunder, whether or not Escrow Agent prepared such instrument; (c) for any loss or impairment of funds that have been deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of collection, or while those funds are on deposit in a financial institution, if such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a financial institution; (d) for the expiration of any time limit or other consequence of delay, unless a properly executed written instruction, accepted by Xxxxxx Agent, has instructed Escrow Agent to comply with said time limit; (e) for the default, error, action or omission of either party to the escrow. Escrow Agent, in its capacity as escrow agent, shall be entitled to rely on any document or paper received by it, believed by such Escrow Agent, in good faith, to be bona fide and genuine. In the event of any dispute as to the disposition of the Deposit or any other monies held in escrow, or of any documents held in escrow, Escrow Agent may continue to hold the Deposit pursuant to the terms hereof, or if Escrow Agent so elects, interplead the matter at the joint and several cost of Purchaser and Seller by filing an interpleader action in a court of general jurisdiction in the county or circuit where the Real Property is located (to the jurisdiction of which both parties do hereby consent), and pay into the registry of the court the Deposit, or deposit any such documents with respect to which there is a dispute in the Registry of such court, whereupon such Escrow Agent shall be relieved and released from any further liability as Escrow Agent hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for Escrow Agent’s compliance with any legal process, subpoena, writ, order, judgment and decree of any court, whether issued with or without jurisdiction, and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed. Purchaser and Seller agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any loss, cost, damage, expense and attorney’s fee (collectively called “Expenses”) in connection with or in any way arising out of the escrow arrangement, other than expenses resulting from the Escrow Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10.11.    Incorporation by Reference. All of the exhibits and schedules attached hereto are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
10.12.    Survival. Except to the extent (i) that Seller gives Purchaser written notice prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, (ii) Purchaser otherwise obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained herein, or (iii) of a Non-Breach Inaccuracy, and Purchaser nevertheless elects to close this transaction, the representations and warranties made herein shall survive the Closing through but not beyond the Limitation Date (as hereinafter defined) after which such representations and warranties shall merge into the Closing Documents, provided that the aforesaid limitation shall not apply to the prosecution of any claim made and action commenced in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) below on or prior to the
    34
41554043v.8

Limitation Date. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive for six (6) months after the Closing (the “Limitation Date”). Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be brought for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by Seller or any indemnity or other obligation of Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Closing Documents (a “Claim”) shall be forever barred unless, no later than the Limitation Date Purchaser (a) delivers to Seller a written notice of the Claim setting forth the basis for such Claim, and (b) files a complaint or petition against Seller alleging such Claim in an appropriate Federal district or state court and serves the same upon Seller, in which case the Limitation Date, as to such breach, shall be extended pending resolution of such complaint or petition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against Seller will not be valid or effective, and Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto, unless all valid Claims exceed Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate. Seller’s liability for damages resulting from valid Claims shall in no event exceed three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the aggregate.
10.13.    Further Assurances. Seller and Purchaser each covenant and agree to sign, execute and deliver, or cause to be signed, executed and delivered, and to do or make, or cause to be done or made, upon the written request of the other party, any and all agreements, instruments, papers, deeds, acts or things, supplemental, confirmatory or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by either party hereto for the purpose of or in connection with consummating the transactions described herein provided that compliance with the provision of this Section 10.13 shall not increase the liability of the complying party.
10.14.    No Partnership. This Agreement does not and shall not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or any other relationship between the parties hereto except the relationship of seller and purchaser specifically established hereby.
10.15.    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.
10.16.    Signatory Exculpation. The signatory(ies) for Purchaser and Seller is/are executing this Agreement in his/their capacity as representative of such party and not individually and, therefore, shall have no personal or individual liability of any kind in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.
10.17.    Rules of Construction. The following rules shall apply to the construction and interpretation of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated by the context:
10.17.1    Singular words shall connote the plural number as well as the singular and vice versa, and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter.

The execution of this Agreement and all notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile or electronic signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document with a facsimile or electronic signature may, by notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile or electronic signature.
10.20.    Effective Date. This Agreement shall be terminable by either Seller or Purchaser prior to the Effective Date. The “Effective Date” shall mean the first date on which the following shall have occurred: (i) Purchaser and Seller shall have executed this Agreement, and (ii) Escrow Agent shall have acknowledged receipt of this Agreement fully executed by Seller and Purchaser.
10.21.    Survival. The provisions of this Article X shall survive Closing. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and except as expressly provided in Section 10.12 hereof, all of the representations and warranties and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall merge into the Closing Documents. Upon Closing, any breach or default of any such representations or warranties or covenants that do not expressly survive the Closing, whether known or unknown, shall be deemed waived by the Closing.
