The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be allocated to each Hotel as set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto (each, a “Hotel Purchase Price”) and shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements.

3.02 Closing Adjustments to Purchase Price. In addition to, but without duplication of, any adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price made pursuant to any of the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements, the Aggregate Purchase Price payable hereunder shall be increased by an amount, if any, equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Excess Equity Raise (the “Excess Payment”); provided, however, that the Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay up to 50% of any such increase through the issuance of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“REIT Common Stock”), of Clearview Hotel Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the sole general partner of the Purchaser (the “REIT”). The Excess Payment shall be allocated among the Hotels on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative allocations of value to such Hotels on Schedule 4 attached hereto. If Purchaser elects to issue REIT Common Stock pursuant to this clause (b), then the actual number of shares issued to the Sellers in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (b) shall equal the quotient resulting from (x) the dollar value of the portion of the Excess Payment which Purchaser has elected to satisfy through the issuance of shares (not to exceed 50% of the total Excess Payment) divided by (y) the price per share at which shares of REIT Common Stock are actually sold in the IPO (the “IPO Share Price”). With respect to any shares issued pursuant to this clause (b), CSC agrees to execute, prior to the issuance of any such shares, a lock-up agreement restricting the transfer of any such shares in a form substantially similar to the lock-up agreement executed by members of senior management of the REIT in connection with the IPO prior to issuance of such shares; provided, that such agreement shall not restrict the Sellers’ transfer of the REIT Common Stock for more than one hundred and eighty (180) days following the transfer of such shares to the Sellers.

3.03 Additional Purchase Price.

(a) In addition to the Aggregate Purchase Price payable hereunder, Purchaser shall pay the following amounts:

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, if calendar year 2010 EBITDA for the Hotels exceeds the 2010 Earnout Threshold, Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (such amount, the “2010 Payment”), payable in cash or, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, in shares of REIT Common Stock as more particularly described below; and

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, if calendar year 2011 EBITDA for the Hotels exceeds the 2011 Earnout Threshold, Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “2011 Payment”) payable in cash or, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, in shares of REIT Common Stock as more particularly described below.

(b) If, during calendar year 2010, (i) Purchaser sells any Hotel or (ii) Purchaser transfers operational control of any Hotel to any party other than CSM or an Affiliate of CSM (other than as a result of a termination by the Lessee thereunder of the applicable Hotel Management Agreement pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 15.1 or 15.2 thereof), or (iii) any Hotel Management Agreement is terminated by the Manager thereunder pursuant to Section 15.1 or 15.2 thereof, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the 2010 Payment, regardless of whether Sellers satisfy the 2010 Earnout Threshold. If, during calendar year 2011, (i) Purchaser transfers operational control of any Hotel to any party other than CSM or an Affiliate of CSM (other than

as a result of a termination by the Lessee thereunder of the applicable Hotel Management Agreement pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 15.1 or 15.2 thereof), or (ii) any Hotel Management Agreement is terminated by the Manager thereunder pursuant to Section 15.1 or 15.2 thereof, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the 2011 Payment, regardless of whether Sellers satisfy the 2011 Earnout Threshold.

3.04 Payment of 2010 Payment and 2011 Payment. Within five (5) Business Days following the completion of the annual audits for the Hotels (as more particularly described in the Hotel Management Agreement for each Hotel) for each of calendar year 2010 and calendar year 2011, Purchaser shall deliver in writing to the Sellers its determination, along with corresponding supporting documentation, of whether or not the 2010 Earnout Threshold and the 2011 Earnout Threshold, as applicable, was satisfied (the “Earnings Assessment”). The Sellers shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Earnings Assessment to either (i) approve or (ii) disapprove, in writing, the Purchaser’s assessment (the “Earnings Objection Notice”). If the Sellers do not respond with such ten day period, the Sellers shall be deemed to have approved the Purchaser’s determination set forth in the Earnings Assessment. If the Sellers do not approve or otherwise agree with the Purchaser’s Earnings Assessment, then the Sellers shall submit to Purchaser concurrently with the Sellers’s Earnings Objection Notice its assessment of the satisfaction of the 2010 Earnout Threshold or the 2011 Earnout Threshold, as applicable, together with corresponding supporting documentation. Thereafter, the parties shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve any differences with respect to the assessment of the satisfaction of the 2010 Earnout Threshold or the 2011 Earnout Threshold, as applicable, within ten (10) days. If after such ten day period the parties are still unable to reach agreement, then the Sellers and Purchaser shall submit the dispute to an arbitration firm or individual of national reputation specializing in hotel ownership, operations and financial performance having not less than ten years’ experience. In the event Purchaser and Sellers cannot agree on a single such expert within thirty (30) days after one of the Parties so requests, the Sellers shall select one expert and the Purchaser shall select one expert, and those two experts shall select a third. If within thirty (30) days after one of the parties has requested resolution by an expert, any party has not selected an expert or the two experts have not agreed on a third expert, application shall be made to the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California, to appoint such an expert. The Sellers and Purchaser shall honor the determination of the expert jointly selected or, if they cannot agree, the third expert selected by the two experts appointed by the parties or by the American Arbitration Association, as the case may be.

Once approved (or deemed approved), the 2010 Payment or the 2011 Payment, as applicable, if due and payable, shall be paid by Purchaser or the REIT to the Sellers within five (5) Business Days following such approval (such date, the “2010 Payment Date” or the “2011 Payment Date”), as applicable) in cash or shares of REIT Common Stock, at the Purchaser’s option, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative allocations of value to each Sellers’ Hotel set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto, equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). If Purchaser elects to make such payment in REIT Common Stock, the actual number of shares issued to the Sellers (on a pro rata basis as described in the preceding sentence) shall be the quotient of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) divided by the average daily closing share price for the month of December of the immediately preceding year (i.e., December 2010 or December 2011, as applicable). The Sellers agree and acknowledge that any such shares of REIT Common Stock issued to the Sellers as a 2010 Payment or 2011 Payment shall not be sold or transferred by the Sellers for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the transfer of such shares to the Sellers.

3.05 Issuance of Shares. If Purchaser elects to pay the 2010 Payment or the 2011 Payment, subject to the terms and conditions set forth above, in shares of REIT Common Stock, but, in its sole discretion, concludes that any of the Sellers, CSM or the REIT may be deemed to be in possession of material non-public information regarding the REIT, then Purchaser may deliver a notice to the Sellers prior to the 2010 Payment Date or the 2011 Payment Date, as applicable, stating that it has concluded that any of the Sellers, CSM or the REIT may be deemed to be in possession of material non-public information regarding the REIT. Following delivery of such notice, Purchaser may defer issuance of the applicable shares of REIT Common Stock until it has received from the Sellers a written acknowledgment that any of the Sellers, CSM or the REIT may be deemed to be in possession of material non public information regarding the REIT and agreeing, in writing , not to sell such shares of REIT Common Stock during the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date that is three months after the issuance of such shares to Sellers or (b) such time as the material non public information becomes public.

3.06 Adjustment Due to Casualty or Condemnation or Sale of a Hotel in 2011. In the event (i) any Hotel sustains a Material Casualty or Material Condemnation (either, a “Material Loss”), at any time during calendar year 2010 or calendar year 2011 or (ii) Purchaser sells a Hotel in 2011, then in either event CSC may elect, in accordance with Section 3.6(e) below, to adjust the calculation of the 2010 Earnout Threshold and/or 2011 Earnout Threshold, as applicable, and EBITDA used in determining whether those thresholds are met, in accordance with this Section 3.6. If the Material Loss occurs in calendar year 2010, the 2010 Earnout Threshold shall be reduced by an amount equal to the 2010 Earnout Threshold multiplied by (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is amount of the Aggregate Purchase Price allocated to the Affected Hotel, and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Affected Hotel Percentage”); multiplied further by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in calendar year 2010 following the month-end immediately preceding the Material Loss, and the denominator of which is 365.

(a) If a Material Loss or the sale of a Hotel occurs in calendar year 2011, the 2011 Earnout Threshold shall be reduced by an amount equal to the 2011 Earnout Threshold multiplied by (i) the Affected Hotel Percentage; multiplied further by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in calendar year 2011 following the month-end immediately preceding the Material Loss, and the denominator of which is 365.

(b) If a Material Loss occurs in calendar year 2010 and continues to adversely impact the operation of the Affected Hotel in 2011, the 2011 Earnout Threshold shall be reduced by an amount equal to the 2011 Earnout Threshold multiplied by the Affected Hotel Percentage.

(c) If CSC elects to adjust the 2010 Earnout Threshold and/or 2011 Earnout Threshold, as set forth above, calendar year 0000 XXXXXX and/or calendar year 2011 EBITDA, as applicable, (i) shall exclude all net income or earnings from the Affected Hotel from and after the month-end immediately preceding the Material Loss or sale and (ii) shall be reduced in the case of a Material Loss, without duplication, by the sum of (x) any insurance deductibles and (y) costs incurred repairing any uninsured casualty.

(d) If there occurs a sale at a Hotel in calendar year 2011, CSC shall have the additional option to reduce the 2011 Earnings Threshold by an amount equal to the 2011 Earnout Threshold multiplied by the Affected Hotel Percentage and to subtract all EBITDA for 2011 for the Hotel that is sold from the calculation of EBITDA made to determine whether the 2011 Earnout Threshold has been met.

(e) In order to elect the adjustments set forth in this Section 3.6, CSC shall deliver to Purchaser written notice of such election and the calculation of the 2010 Earnout Threshold or 2011 Earnout Threshold, as applicable, along with the calculation of EBITDA for the applicable calendar year, within thirty (30) days following the Material Loss or the sale, as applicable.

3.07 Survival. The terms and conditions of this Article 3 (and the schedules referenced herein) shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged with any instrument of conveyance executed or delivered in accordance with the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements.

Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to enter upon each of the Hotels to examine, inspect and investigate the Property, including, but not limited to, the Books and Records (all such activities, “Due Diligence”). Prior to entering upon the Property for the purpose of conducting its Due Diligence (whether itself or through one its representatives) Purchaser shall provide prior notice to CSC, which notification may be verbal (followed promptly with a confirmatory email), of its intent to enter a Hotel to conduct Due Diligence. At CSC’s election, a representative of CSC may be present during any entry by Purchaser or its representatives at the Hotel for Due Diligence. Purchaser shall take all necessary actions to ensure that neither it nor any of its representatives unreasonably interfere with the guests of the Hotels or ongoing operations occurring at the Hotels. Purchaser shall not cause or permit any mechanic liens, materialmen’s liens or other liens to be filed against any Hotel as a result of its Due Diligence.

4.02 Testing. Purchaser shall have the right to conduct any inspections, studies or tests that Purchaser deems appropriate in determining the condition of any of the Hotels; provided, however, Purchaser is not permitted to perform any sampling, boring, drilling or other physically intrusive testing into the structures or ground constituting the Property, including, without limitation, any so-called Phase II environmental assessment, without the prior written consent of CSC for such testing, to be provided in CSC’s reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a non-intrusive Phase I environmental assessment without obtaining the Seller’s prior consent, provided that such Phase I shall not include any sampling, boring, drilling or other physically intrusive testing into the structures or ground constituting the Property. The Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser copies of all environmental and/or soil testing reports of the Property that are in its possession or control.

4.03 Indemnity and Insurance.

contractors or other agents) relating to its inspection of the Hotels, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens, damage to the Hotels, injury to persons or property resulting from such activities in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification obligations of Purchaser and hereunder shall not include any obligation or duty whatsoever with respect to any such claims (including claims that the Property has declined in value) to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) the mere discovery or presence of any pre-existing hazardous substances, or (b) the results or findings of any tests or analyses of Purchaser’s inspection of the Hotels, or (c) the Sellers or their Indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any of the Properties are disturbed or altered in any way as a result of such activities, including sampling, boring, drilling or other physically intrusive testing, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly restore such Property to the condition existing prior, as reasonably determined by the Sellers, to the commencement of such activities that disturb or alter such Property. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged with any instrument of conveyance executed or delivered in accordance with the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements.

If the Closing is scheduled to occur within Purchaser’s ten (10) Business Day election period, at Purchaser’s election, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day election period.

No Hotel has suffered or incurred a Casualty during the preceding 12-month period that has not been repaired or replaced to a condition of equal or better quality than existed prior to such Casualty.

(e) Assumed Loans. The Sellers have provided to or otherwise made available to Purchaser, true, correct and complete copies of all of the loan documents for the Assumed Loans.

(h) Completeness; Non-Disclosure. The CSC Parties have delivered or otherwise made available true, correct and complete copies of the Due Diligence materials requested by Purchaser. The Sellers have not intentionally failed to disclose any fact that would

(i) Private Placement. The CSC Parties acknowledge that the shares of REIT Common Stock that may acquire upon adjustment of the Aggregate Purchase Price or the payment of the 2010 Payment or the 2011 Payment will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering.

The CSC Parties further acknowledge that the transfer of any such shares of REIT Common Stock will be subject to certain restrictions pursuant to applicable securities laws.

(j) AS-IS, WHERE-IS. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE APPLICABLE HOTEL PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS-IS – WHERE-IS” IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 6.01 OF EACH OF THE HOTEL PURCHASE AGREEMENTS.

(b) Enforceability.

ARTICLE 9. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES/RIGHT TO TERMINATE

9.01 Seller’s Default. If any Seller fails in any material respect to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement and does not cure such failure within five (5) days after its receipt of written notice of such failure from Purchaser (other than Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof and Article 10 of each Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement for which there shall be no notice and cure right), then Purchaser may elect as its sole and exclusive remedy (at law or in equity): (a) to terminate this Agreement and any of the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements by giving the Sellers written notice of such election prior to or at Closing whereupon the Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for all Transaction Costs incurred by Purchaser (or its Affiliates); (b) to waive the default and close; or (c) to seek specific performance of this Agreement and any of the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements against the Sellers and any and all of their Affiliates. The terms of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged with any instrument of conveyance executed or delivered in accordance with the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements.

9.02 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to acquire the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement other than as the result of a default by any Seller under this Agreement or the applicable Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement or a failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements, then Seller’s sole remedy at law or in equity in such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements.

ARTICLE 10. TERMINATION RIGHTS

10.01 Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements, this Agreement and the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing, as follows:

(a) By mutual consent; or

(b) By either party, if on or prior to September 24, 2010, the REIT and the underwriters have not determined the price to the public of the REIT Common Stock in connection with the effectiveness of the S-11 under the Securities Act with a closing scheduled for the week of September 26, 2010 (such determination and scheduled closing the “IPO Closing Condition”); or

(c) By either party, if the REIT has not commenced the marketing and promotion of the proposed IPO to potential investors pursuant to a so-called “road show” and, in connection therewith, commenced the distribution of a preliminary prospectus to prospective investors (the “IPO Marketing”) on or prior to September 7, 2010 (the “IPO Marketing Outside Date”), provided, however, Purchaser shall be entitled to extend the IPO Marketing Outside Date for up to five (5) Business Days if the underwriters and the REIT reasonably determine that such extension is not reasonably expected to cause the Purchaser to be unable to satisfy the IPO Closing Condition; or

(d) By either party, if the Closing have not occurred by September 29, 2010.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no CSC Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) if Purchaser delivers evidence satisfactory to Seller in Seller’s sole discretion that Purchaser has the financial capability to complete the transactions contemplated hereunder and under the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements on or before the week of September 26, 2010 without effectuating the IPO.

Upon termination of this Agreement and the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements pursuant to this Section 10.1, then Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for all of its Transaction Costs. In no event shall Purchaser’s failure or inability to commence the road show process, to obtain by agreement with the underwriters a price to the public of the REIT Common Stock that would be sufficient to permit the Purchaser to fund its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Aggregate Purchase Price and Transaction Costs, or to satisfy the IPO Closing Condition constitute a default or event of default under this Agreement or the Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreements.

ARTICLE 11. INDEMNIFICATION AND SURVIVAL

11.01 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser or any its Indemnitees, from and after the Closing, from and against any Liabilities incurred by Purchaser or any of its Indemnitees to the extent resulting from (i) the material breach of any representations or warranties of any Seller in this Agreement or any document delivered at Closing, (ii) any material breach by any Seller of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, (iii) any liability imposed upon Purchaser or any of its Indemnitees relating to the operation of the Business at any Hotel and/or the operations of any Seller, including, but not limited to, the employment of the employees of each Hotel, any unpaid or underpayment of any sales, use, transit, occupancy or similar taxes, prior to the Closing Date and (iii) any Retained Liabilities.

11.02 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their Indemnitees, from and after the Closing, from and against any Liabilities incurred by any Seller or any of their Indemnitees to the extent resulting from any (i) any liability imposed upon Seller and/or any

Seller Indemnitees relating to the operation of the Business at any Hotel and/or operations of Purchaser after the Closing, and (ii) Assumed Liabilities, in each case unless as the result of the actions of the Hotel Manager including, without limitation, as a result of the failure of the Hotel Manager to comply with the terms with, or otherwise breach, a Hotel Management Agreement.

11.03 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in any Hotel Purchase and Sale Agreement, the obligations of Sellers under Section 11.1 shall not extend to (i) any Liabilities arising out of the alleged presence at, or release or disposal from, any Property of any hazardous substances, or the alleged violation of any environmental laws, (ii) any Liabilities arising out of a violation of any legal requirement with respect to the physical condition, maintenance or improvement of any Property (including without limitation zoning and building codes, and the Americans with Disabilities Act) which exists on or before the Closing Date and does not otherwise violate a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, or (iii) any Liability arising out of the state of the physical condition, maintenance or improvement of any Property on or before the Closing Date that does not otherwise constitute a breach of any covenant in this Agreement. The indemnities provided in this Article 11 and the other indemnities set forth in this Agreement relating to the conduct of the parties after the Closing shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Seller and Purchaser from and after Closing with respect to any claim under this Agreement or otherwise relating to any Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term Liabilities shall not include any consequential, special or incidental damages, claims for lost profits, or punitive or similar damages.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Sellers shall be obligated to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless only with respect to losses, damages, liability, claims, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from one or more breaches of Sellers’ warranties and representations until such losses, damages, liabilities, claims, costs or expenses in the aggregate exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), (b) Purchaser shall have no right to file an action for rescission in connection with any breaches of Sellers’ representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements, and (c) Sellers’ aggregate liability to Purchaser with respect to any and all breaches of Sellers’ representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in this Agreement and the agreements contemplated herein shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price (the “Liability Cap”), and Purchaser hereby waives its rights with respect to any Damages in excess of the Liability Cap. This Section shall survive the Closing without limitation.

11.04 Survival of Obligations. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and liability for breach of any covenant of by any CSC Party set forth in this Agreement or any document delivered at Closing shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”) and shall not merge into any of the documents delivered at Closing; provided, however, that no Person shall have any Liability or obligation with respect to any breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or, with respect to any CSC Party, breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement unless on or prior to the expiration of the Survival Period, the party seeking to assert liability under such representation or warranty or covenant shall have notified the other party in writing setting forth specifically the representation or warranty or covenant allegedly breached and a detailed description of the

alleged breach. All Liabilities and obligations of both parties under any representation or warranty and, with respect to Seller, any covenant set forth in this Agreement, shall lapse and be of no further force or effect with respect to any matter not contained in a written notice delivered as contemplated above on or prior to the expiration of the Survival Period.

11.05 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third Party Claim. If Purchaser or its Indemnitees or any of the Sellers or their Indemnitees (as the case may be, an “Indemnified Party”) has an Indemnification Claim under Sections 11.1 or 11.2, respectively (any such claim, an “Indemnification Claim”), and (the Indemnification Claim does not involve a claim by a third party and is disputed by the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”), the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.

(b) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves a claim by a third party, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such third party’s claim, at its sole cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such third party’s claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the third party’s claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (unless selected by Indemnitor’s insurance company), (ii) the Indemnified Party, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such third party’s claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which (1) requires any performance by or imposes any obligation on the Indemnified Party or results in any encumbrance on any property of the Indemnified Party, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor or (2) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third party’s claim. The Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Indemnitor’s sole discretion. The Indemnitor shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgement of any third party’s claim (A) as to which the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense within a reasonable period of time (but in no event less than the earlier of thirty (30) days or the date which is five (5) days prior to the date a response is due), or (B) to the extent the third party’s claim seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnitor without the prior written consent of such Indemnitor.
