BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT SUCH WAIVER AND RELEASE INCLUDES STATUTORY AS WELL AS “COMMON LAW” AND EQUITABLE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AND THAT IT COVERS POTENTIAL CLAIMS OF WHICH BUYER MAY BE CURRENTLY UNAWARE OR UNABLE TO DISCOVER. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND RELEASE IS OF MATERIAL CONSIDERATION TO SELLER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THAT BUYER’S COUNSEL HAS ADVISED BUYER OF THE POSSIBLE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING SUCH
21
WAIVER AND RELEASE AND THAT BUYER HAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT, IN AGREEING TO PURCHASE THE HOTEL AT THE PURCHASE PRICE SPECIFIED HEREIN, SELLER’S DISCLAIMER OF ANY WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE HOTEL OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, IN NO WAY SHALL THIS SECTION 5.3 RELEASE THE SELLER FROM ANY OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS EXPLICITLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT ENTERED INTO OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

The Parties’ representations set forth in this Section 5 (and their respective liability for any breach thereof) shall survive Closing and shall not be deemed to merge into any of the Transfer Instruments; provided, however, that Buyer or Seller shall have no liability to the other party for any breach of such representations unless:
5.4.1 The facts constituting such breach have not been disclosed in writing to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, at least five (5) days prior to Closing;
5.4.2 Buyer or Seller, as applicable, has given the other party written notice claiming such breach, and stating in reasonable detail the factual basis for such claim, within twelve (12) months after Closing (other than with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1.1.17, 5.1.2.1, 5.1.2.2, 5.1.2.3, 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3, which shall not be subject to such limitations); and

22
5.5 Notice of Subsequent Event or Discovery. Prior to Closing, each Party shall give the other prompt notice of its discovery of any event or condition which has the effect of making any representations contained in Section 5 materially inaccurate.
6. OPERATION OF THE HOTEL PENDING CLOSING. From the Effective Date until Closing, except for emergencies, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Hotel in the Ordinary Course and shall not cause, approve or voluntarily permit any material change in the operations of the Hotel without Buyer’s prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including:
6.1 Material alterations or other material changes in the Hotel Improvements except as may be currently required by Law.
6.2 Cancellation or surrender of any existing Permit.
6.3 Creation of or permitting any Lease or voluntary Lien, provided that all Monetary Liens shall be paid in full and released by Seller at Closing and all other Liens not approved by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be released by Seller at Closing.

6.5 Modifying the Ground Lease in any material way.
6.6 Material reductions in levels of service, sales and marketing efforts, maintenance or staff.

7. OTHER AGREEMENTS.
7.1 Property Management Agreement. Buyer shall not assume any obligations under the Hotel Management Agreement. Seller shall cause the Hotel Management Agreement to be terminated as of Closing and shall deliver possession of the Hotel to Buyer free and clear of any possessory rights of the Hotel Manager or Seller. Seller shall remain responsible for all amounts due under the Hotel Management Agreement and shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Buyer from and against any claims or liability therefor. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall survive Closing and shall not merge into any of the Transfer Instruments.
7.2 Liquor License(s) and Inventory.
7.2.1 Application for New Liquor License. Buyer or its affiliate(s) and/or Buyer’s Manager shall be responsible, at its expense, for promptly preparing, filing and diligently prosecuting all applications before Governmental Authorities for the transfer or re-issuance of the Liquor License at the Hotel to Buyer or its nominee following Closing. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in such applications as Buyer may reasonably request (without charge
23
to Buyer but without any obligation on the part of Seller to incur out-of-pocket expense or liability in doing so). If, despite diligent efforts, Buyer has not been able to obtain the new Liquor License at the Hotel by the Last Closing Date, Seller shall enter (or, if Seller does not hold the existing Liquor License, shall cause the holder of such license to enter) into an interim arrangement with Buyer or Buyer’s Manager, as Buyer may direct, in a commercially reasonable form to be agreed on prior to the Approval Date by Buyer, Seller and Buyer’s Manager (if applicable) (the “Interim Liquor Agreement”) that will permit the Liquor Operations to continue at the Hotel under the existing Liquor License pending issuance of a Liquor License to Buyer or its nominee; provided, however, that such interim arrangement is, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, permitted by applicable alcoholic beverage control Laws. If Seller, Buyer and Buyer’s Manager, if applicable, are unable to agree on a form of Interim Liquor Agreement before the Approval Date, despite their good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, Buyer may terminate this Agreement or waive this requirement (in which event, delivery of the Interim Liquor Agreement will not be a condition on Buyer’s obligation to close). Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing shall not be conditioned upon the issuance of the Liquor License.
7.2.2 Transfer of Liquor Inventory. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Liquor Inventory shall be sold and transferred to Buyer, Buyer’s affiliate(s), Buyer’s Manager or otherwise as directed by Buyer only in such manner as complies with applicable alcoholic beverage control Laws and the terms of the Liquor License. In no event shall there be a reduction in the Purchase Price or a proration credit in Buyer’s favor if, as of the Closing, the Liquor Inventory is not able to be sold and transferred in a manner complying with the applicable alcoholic beverage control Laws and the terms of the Liquor Licenses.
7.3 Hotel License Agreement. Promptly after the Effective Date, Seller shall give the notices (accompanied by a copy of this Agreement) required under Section 17.2 of the Hotel License Agreement, notifying the licensor of a potential sale of the Hotel to Buyer. Buyer shall have the responsibility of satisfying itself with respect to the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any upgrading requirements) under which the licensor under the Hotel Licensing Agreement would grant to Buyer (or its assign) a license to operate the Hotel, from and after Closing as a Marriott Hotel (the “New License”). Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall with respect to the New License submit an application in the licensor’s required form for such New License, and thereafter (A) diligently prosecute such application (B) provide the licensor with any reasonably or customarily requested information regarding Buyer (and its assign, if any), (C) pay (when required) the licensor’s standard application fee (except to the extent waived by the licensor), (D) if approved by the licensor, enter into the licensor’s then standard form of license agreement (except to the extent the licensor agrees to any changes requested by Buyer), to be effective upon Closing and (E) comply with all other conditions imposed by the licensor (unless waived), in accordance with its current licensing policies, for the issuance of such New License effective upon Closing, Buyer shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the Effective Date (such period being referred to as the “License Approval Period”) to obtain the New License from Marriott International. If Buyer has not obtained such New License prior to the expiration of the License Approval Period, Buyer may proceed to Closing or may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given on or prior to the expiration of the License Approval Period. In the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon Closing, Seller shall surrender its existing licenses under the Hotel License Agreement and the Hotel License Agreement shall have been terminated.
24
7.4 Assumption of Metropolitan Loan. Within two (2) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer copies of all documents evidencing, securing or otherwise related to the Secured Loan (as hereinafter defined). Promptly after the Effective Date Seller and Buyer agree to take any and all steps necessary to facilitate the assumption by Buyer of that certain loan among Seller, as borrower, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx, as guarantor, and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, or its successor or transferee (the “Secured Lender”), entered into on or about September 3, 2004 in the original principal amount of TWENTY SIX MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($26,750,000.00) (the “Secured Loan”). The term “Assumed Loan Documents” shall mean each of the documents listed on Exhibit M attached hereto, which were executed and delivered in connection with the Secured Loan.
In connection with the assumption of the Secured Loan, Buyer agrees to pay (i) any and all fees payable to the Secured Lender pursuant to the Assumed Loan Documents in connection with the assignment thereof to Buyer and (ii) the costs, fees and expenses of the Secured Lender and its counsel in connection with the assignment to, or assumption by Buyer of the Secured Loan (the “Assumption Fees”). As part of the assumption of the Secured Loan, Buyer agrees to provide a substitute guarantor reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Lender (and to Seller if the Secured Lender will not release Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx from the existing guaranty for the period from and after the date of the loan assumption). Seller shall cooperate with Buyer (at no charge to Buyer) to facilitate Buyer’s assumption of the Secured Loan. The parties acknowledge and agree that Buyer may elect to extend the date for Closing to a date not later than six (6) months after the Effective Date in order to effect Buyer’s assumption of the Secured Loan or, at Buyer’s election, a defeasance of the Loan, provided that Buyer may further extend the date for Closing, to a date not later than the Last Closing Date to effect an assumption or defeasance of the Loan, provided that Buyer shall not be excused from closing on the purchase of the Hotel pursuant to the terms of this Agreement if it is not able to defease the Secured Loan so long as the Secured Lender has approved Buyer’s assumption of the Secured Loan.
7.5 Access to Financial Information. Buyer’s representatives shall have access to, and Seller and its affiliates shall cooperate with Buyer and furnish upon request, all financial and other information relating to the Hotel’s operations to the extent necessary to enable Buyer’s representatives to prepare audited financial statements in conformity with Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and to enable them to prepare a registration statement, report or disclosure statement for filing with the SEC on behalf of Buyer and/or its affiliates, whether before or after Closing and regardless of whether such information is included in the Hotel Records to be transferred to Buyer hereunder. Seller shall provide to Buyer’s representative a signed representation letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer sufficient to enable an independent public accountant to render an opinion on the financial statements related to the Hotel. Buyer will reimburse Seller for costs reasonably incurred by Seller to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence to the extent that Seller is required to incur costs not in the ordinary course of business for third parties to provide such representation letter. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement.
25
7.6 Bulk Sales. At Seller’s risk and expense, Seller shall take all steps necessary to comply with the requirements of a transferor under all bulk transfer laws, if any, that are applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.7 Indemnification. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as provided herein:
7.7.1 Indemnification of Buyer. Without in any way limiting or diminishing the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available to Buyer for a breach hereof, and in all instances subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.4 above, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its respective designees, successors and assigns from and against all losses, judgments, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature and description in existence before, on or after Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or continent, joint or several, arising out of or relating to:
(i) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(iii) any liability or obligation of Seller not expressly assumed at Closing by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(v) any claim made or asserted against Buyer or any of the Property by a creditor of Seller, including any claims based on or alleging a violation of any bulk sales act or other similar laws.
7.7.2 Indemnification of Seller. Without in any way limiting or diminishing the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available to Seller for a breach hereof, Buyer hereby agrees, with respect to this Agreement, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against all losses, judgments, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature and description in existence before, on or after Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, joint or several, arising out of or relating to:
(i) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement;
(ii) the conduct and operation by or on behalf of Buyer or Buyer’s Manager of the Hotel or the ownership, use or operation of the Property after the Closing; and
26

7.7.3 Indemnification Procedure for Claims of Third Parties. Indemnification, with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this Agreement (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
7.7.3.1 The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party or parties from which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim for indemnification based on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.7, which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.
7.7.3.2 If in any action, suit or proceeding (a “Legal Action”) the relief sought is solely the payment of money damages, and if the Indemnifying Party specifically agrees in writing to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect thereto and demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of such Indemnified Party its financial ability to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, commencing thirty (30) days after such notice, at its option, to elect to settle, compromise or defend, pursuant to this paragraph, by its own counsel and at its own expense, any such Legal Action involving such Indemnified Party’s asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to settle, compromise or defend any such Legal Action, such settlement, compromise or defense shall be conducted in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information concerning such settlement, compromise or defense as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request from time to time. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to settle, compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify such Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of notice from such Indemnified Party provided above.
7.7.3.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection of this Contract, until the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of the Legal Action, the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party. Furthermore, (x) if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (y) if the Legal Action involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief, or (z) if a judgment against Buyer, as the Indemnified Party, in the Legal Action will, in the good faith and reasonable business judgment of Buyer, establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interest of the continuing business of the Hotel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of
27
the legal Action and the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party, provided that, in the case of clause (z), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to approve legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the defense of the Legal Action is handled by the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this subsection, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in conducting such defense.
7.7.3.4 In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnifying Party (w) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed as to the status of such Legal Action at all stages thereof, whether or not the Indemnified Party is represented by its own counsel, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, all books and records of the Indemnifying Party relating to such Legal Action and (z) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Legal Action.
7.7.3.5 In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not make settlement of any claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.9 New Management. For the week immediately preceding the Closing Date, Buyer’s Manager shall be permitted reasonable access during normal business hours to the Hotel and to all books, records and other information in the possession or control of Seller, Hotel Manager and their affiliates and/or its or their agents concerning the Hotel; provided, however, that Buyer, Buyer’s Manager, and its or their employees and/or agents (a) shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal management and operation of the Hotel, (b) shall hold all information acquired from such books and records confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (c) shall not be deemed to have assumed management responsibilities by virtue of this Section 7.9.
7.10 Possession; Assignment and Assumption. Possession of the Property shall be given by Seller to Buyer at Closing, and Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Closing, in addition to all other deliveries of Seller provided for pursuant to this Agreement, all Assumed Contracts assigned to and assumed by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that all agreements affecting the Hotel not assigned to and assumed by Buyer have been terminated as of Closing. Buyer shall not assume, and Seller
28
shall sell the Property to Buyer free and clear of, all obligations and liabilities of Seller (including, without limitation, and existing franchise agreement and/or management agreements affecting the Property), except for the Ground Lease and the Assumed Contracts that Buyer has expressly agreed to assume at Closing arising in respect of any period from and after Closing (other than any liability or obligation arising from or in any way related to any breach or default by Seller or its affiliates) (collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”). At Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer all rights and privileges in, under and to the Assumed Contracts. Seller agrees that it is, and after Closing shall remain, liable for (i) all obligations and liabilities under (x) the Assumed Contracts arising in respect of any period prior to Closing and/or (y) all agreements affecting the Hotel not assumed by Buyer at Closing, including, in each case, all obligations and liabilities arising from or in any way related to any breach or default by Seller thereunder, (ii) all tax obligations and tax liabilities relating to Seller, Hotel Manager or its or their affiliates or the Property payable or arising in respect of any period prior to Closing, and (iii) all obligations and liabilities arising with respect to the matters described on Exhibit O hereto (collectively, the “Retained Obligations”).

19.2 Seller Default. If Seller defaults under this Agreement, and such default continues for fifteen (15) days following written notice from Buyer, Buyer may elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller delivered to Seller at any time prior to the cure of any such default, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer, and thereafter both the Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations with respect to this Agreement, except for those that explicitly survive any termination of this Agreement or (ii) to treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect by written notice to Seller delivered to Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the Buyer shall have the right to an action against Seller for specific performance. In the event Buyer terminates this Agreement or seeks specific performance after a default by Seller, Buyer shall be entitled to payment of reasonable costs of enforcement actually incurred by Buyer to the extent payable pursuant to Section 16.9 (which right to payment shall survive termination of this Agreement).
45
20. BROKERS. Seller and Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that it has not engaged any broker, finder or other party in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except that Seller has engaged Broker to act on Seller’s behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller shall pay at Closing all fees and amounts payable to the Broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and Seller each agree to save and hold the other harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) involving claims made by any other agent, broker, or other person by or through the acts of Buyer or Seller, respectively, in connection with this transaction, which agreement shall survive Closing and not merge into any of the Transfer Instruments.

Recitals
A. Landlord is the lessor under that certain Amended and Restated Land Lease (the “Land Lease”) dated July 12, 2002, along with Mutual Benefit/Marriott Hotel Associates – I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Mutual Benefit”), as assignor, and PRVA II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“PRVA”), as tenant, covering all of the property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Premises”).
B. The Land Lease entirely supplanted and superseded the original land lease between Marriott Corporation and Landlord dated August 2, 1982, as amended on October 8, 1982, September 5, 1984, September 19, 1984, April 12, 1991, January 1, 1997, and January 3, 2000 (the “Original Land Lease”). Marriott Corporation assigned all of its rights under the Original Land Lease to Project One Hotel Limited Partnership by recorded assignment dated October 8, 1982. Project One Hotel Limited Partnership changed its name to Mutual Benefit/Marriott Hotel Associates – I, L.P. in 1985. On December 12, 2001, Mutual Benefit filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As part of Mutual Benefit’s reorganization, Mutual Benefit assigned its rights under the Original Land Lease to PRVA and the Land Lease amended and restated, in its entirety, the Original Land Lease.
C. Purchaser and PRVA are parties to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated September , 2007, in which Purchaser agreed to buy the hotel on the Premises known as the “Richmond Marriott Hotel” in Richmond, Virginia (the “Hotel”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, PRVA agreed to assign its interest in the Land Lease to Purchaser (the “Assignment”).
D. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser requested that PRVA present this Certificate to Landlord for execution. Section 12.9 of the Land Lease provides that either party may request that the other party make certain certifications with respect to the Land Lease.
NOW THEREFORE, at PRVA’s request, and for the purpose of providing information to Purchaser and its successors and assigns, with the understanding that they will rely upon the information provided herein, Landlord certifies, represents and acknowledges as follows, all as of the date first written above:
1. The Land Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect. A full, complete copy of the Land Lease is attached to this Certificate as Exhibit B, including all amendments, assignments, recorded memoranda, and subordination, attornment and nondisturbance agreements related thereto. The Land Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties thereto (and any parties related to either of them) about the matters contained therein and has not been amended, cancelled, surrendered or supplemented and no portion thereof has been terminated or any rights thereunder waived except as reflected on Exhibit B.
2. The current amount of annual rent under the Land Lease, not including any rent reduction authorized by the Land Lease, is $100,000.00. The rent is payable quarterly, in advance, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. PRVA is current through July 1, 2007, in its payment of all annual ground rent and other sums payable to Landlord pursuant to the Land Lease.
3. The term of the Land Lease commenced on July 16, 2002, and expires on December 31, 2102, unless earlier terminated as provided in the Land Lease. The Land Lease does not provide an option to renew or otherwise extend the term beyond the expiration date.
4. To the best knowledge and belief of Landlord, neither Landlord nor PRVA are in default under the Land Lease, and no event of default has occurred that, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute such a default. There are no legal proceedings pending (or threatened) against PRVA by Landlord, or against Landlord, PRVA and/or the Premises that may bring into question the validity of the Land Lease or which, if determined adversely against Landlord or PRVA, might result in any adverse change to the leasehold estate created by the Land Lease. Landlord has not received from PRVA any notice of default under the Land Lease that has not been cured.
5. Landlord is the fee simple owner of the Premises subject to PRVA’s leasehold estate created by the Land Lease and has not conveyed, mortgaged, or assigned the Premises or Landlord’s interest in the Land Lease. PRVA is the tenant under the Land Lease and Landlord has not received notice that PRVA has assigned or otherwise transferred its interest in the Land Lease.
6. The Land Lease is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Landlord and to the best knowledge and belief of Landlord, Landlord has no defense, offset, claim, counterclaim, or right of recoupment against its obligations under the Land Lease.
7. Landlord has no present right to terminate the Land Lease, and Landlord has neither given nor received any notice of termination of the Land Lease.
8. The amount of the Agreed Annual Assessment (as defined in the Land Lease) is currently $ per room, per night, with a minimum annual payment of $ . PRVA is entitled to a rent reduction in the amount of $ based on the difference between the Annual Assessment (as defined in the Land Lease) and the Agreed Annual Assessment, if any.

THIS POST-CLOSING ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this day of , 2007 (the “Effective Date”), by and among PRVA II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), APPLE SEVEN HOSPITALITY OWNERSHIP, INC., a Virginia corporation (“Buyer”), and LANDAMERICA AMERICAN TITLE COMPANY (“Escrow Agent”).
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of September , 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Seller and Buyer, Seller agreed to sell, and Buyer agreed to buy, that certain hotel known as the “Richmond Marriott Hotel” located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Property”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.12 of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Seller have requested that Escrow Agent hold in escrow the Escrow Funds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in the amount of $500,000.00 in accordance with the provisions, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Escrow Funds are being delivered to Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Seller and Buyer hereby appoint Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent hereunder, and Escrow Agent agrees to act as escrow agent hereunder in accordance with the provisions, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Funds as directed by Seller, provided such investments are reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and interest earned thereon shall be disbursed to Seller at the time the Escrow Funds are disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Contract.
3. Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent shall keep the Escrow Funds in Escrow Agent’s possession pursuant to this Agreement to provide for timely payment of certain post-closing claims made by Buyer against Seller (each, a “Claim”) during the period beginning on the date of Closing and ending on December 31, 2008 (the “Claim Period”), as more particularly provided in Section 7.12 of the Purchase Agreement.
4. Claims. Upon the good faith determination by Buyer of the amount for which a Claim will be made, Buyer shall send notice of such Claim (stating the amount claimed) to the Escrow Agent and Seller. If Seller does not give written notice to the Escrow Agent and Buyer of its intent to dispute the Claim or the amount claimed within ten (10) business days of the date Seller receives, pursuant to paragraph 8 below, Buyer’s notice of Claim, Escrow Agent shall immediately after the expiration of such period pay to Buyer from the Escrow Funds the amount specified in Buyer’s notice. If Seller disputes the Claim within the ten (10) business day period and Buyer and Seller are unable to settle the dispute, then Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Escrow Funds until a final determination of the rights of the parties is made in an appropriate proceeding in the form of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority directing the Escrow Agent to release the Claim Amount (or portion thereof), as defined below, or upon receipt by Escrow Agent of joint written instructions from Buyer and Seller (which may be signed in counterpart). Buyer and Seller shall bear equally the expenses of the Escrow Agent in connection therewith. Payment of any Escrow Funds to Buyer shall not discharge Seller’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Seller shall be and remain liable to Buyer for, and shall pay to Buyer the full amount of, all such Claims (but only to the extent Seller is determined to be liable for the same) notwithstanding that the Escrow Funds may be insufficient to pay the same in full. Upon the expiration of the Claim Period, if the aggregate estimated amount (as reasonably determined by Buyer in good faith) of all unpaid Claims (the “Claim Amount”) made during the Claim Period is less than Escrow Funds then held by Escrow Agent, the Escrow Funds shall be reduced to the Claim Amount, and Escrow Agent shall deliver the balance of the Escrow Funds to Seller. If Buyer has made no Claims during the Claim Period, upon the expiration of the Claim Period, Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the Escrow Funds to Seller. Escrow Agent shall continue to hold all or such portion, as applicable, of the Escrow Funds remaining in escrow after the expiration of the Claim Period until a final determination of the rights of the parties subject to any Claim(s) asserted by Buyer is made in an appropriate proceeding or upon receipt by Escrow Agent of joint written instructions from Buyer and Seller (which may be signed in counterpart), provided that if any such Claim is not resolved and Buyer has not commenced a lawsuit or other proceeding for each Claim made during the Claim Period within the three (3) months following the Claim Period, then the Claim Amount attributable to each such Claim with respect to which a lawsuit or other proceeding shall not have been commenced, shall be released by Escrow Agent to Seller.
5. Reliance by Escrow Agent. In the performance of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature purporting to be genuine and purporting to be signed by and of the parties hereto or their successors unless Escrow Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice or instructions in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.
6. Liabilities of Escrow Agent.
a. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder, except in the case of Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence.
b. In addition to the indemnities provided below, Escrow Agent shall not be liable for, and each of the parties hereto jointly and severally hereby indemnify and agree to save harmless and reimburse Escrow Agent from and against all loss, cost, liability, damage, and expense, including outside counsel fees in connection with its acceptance of, or the performance of its duties and obligations under, this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim arising hereunder unless the same are caused by the willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence of Escrow Agent.
c. Escrow Agent shall not be bound or in any way affected by any notice of any modification or cancellation of this Agreement, or of any fact or circumstance affecting or alleged to affect rights or liabilities hereunder other than as is herein set forth, or affecting or alleged to affect the rights and liabilities of any other person, unless notice of the same is delivered to Escrow Agent in writing, signed by the proper parties to Escrow Agent’s satisfaction and, in the case of modification, unless such modification shall be approved by Escrow Agent in writing.
7. Resignation or Termination of Escrow Agent.
a. Escrow Agent and any successor escrow agent, as the case may be, may resign his or its duties and be discharged from all obligations hereunder at any time upon giving ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to each of the parties hereto. The parties hereto will thereupon jointly designate a successor escrow agent hereunder within said ten (10) business day period to whom the Escrow Funds shall be delivered. In default of such a joint designation of a successor escrow agent, Escrow Agent shall retain the Escrow Funds as custodian thereof until otherwise directed by the parties hereto, jointly, or until the Escrow Funds are released in accordance with clause 7(b) below, in each case, without liability or responsibility.
b.
