HOTEL PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
THIS HOTEL PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 15, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between IND EAST VILLAGE SD HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and CHSP SAN DIEGO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of that certain hotel and parcel of land located in San Diego, California and more particularly described on Exhibit A (the “Land”), and the Property (as hereinafter defined), all commonly known as the Hotel Indigo San Diego; and,
WHEREAS, Buyer desires to acquire the Property from Seller for the purchase price of Fifty-Five Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($55,500,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) and Seller desires to convey the Property to Buyer all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises, covenants, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand paid by Seller to Buyer and by Buyer to Seller upon the execution of this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Deadlines and Definitions.
1.1 Deadlines. Wherever used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
“Closing Deadline” shall mean June 17, 2011, or such other later date mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, but, in all events, not later than June 30, 2011.
“Due Diligence Deadline” shall mean 6:00 P.M. local Atlanta, Georgia time on the Effective Date.
1.2 Definitions. In addition, wherever used in this Agreement, the terms herein shall have the meanings set forth on Schedule A.
2. Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to convey, transfer and assign, and Buyer agrees to acquire, accept and assume, the Property, on the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this Agreement.
Purchase Agreement
3. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, subject to the prorations and credits set forth herein, shall be due and payable as follows:
3.1 Deposit. Within one (1) Business Day after the full and final execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall make the Deposit, in immediately available funds with Closing Agent. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer fails to timely make the Deposit as provided herein, then Seller, at Seller’s option, may Terminate this Agreement and, if Seller elects such option, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except the rights and for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer, but shall be applied against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date.
3.2 Remainder of Purchase Price. At Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the difference between (a) the Purchase Price, and (b) the Deposit paid to Closing Agent, subject to the credits, prorations and adjustments set forth herein, in cash by federal reserve bank wire transfer to such account and bank as Seller shall designate in writing to Buyer at or prior to Closing to be confirmed received in Seller’s account on or before 3:00 p.m. Atlanta, Georgia time on the Closing Date.
3.3 Intentionally Deleted.
4. Buyer’s Due Diligence and Inspection Rights; Termination Right.
4.1 Review of Property and Property Documents. Until Closing, and subject to the terms of Paragraph 4.2, Seller shall provide Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives with access to the Property and the Property Documents, wherever located, upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times during business hours, with the right and license to conduct Due Diligence with respect to the Property. Buyer covenants and agrees that it will inspect the Hotel at its sole cost and expense and will not allow any liens to attach against the Hotel as a result of its Due Diligence. In the event of termination of this Agreement, upon written request from Seller, Buyer shall deliver promptly to Seller copies of all Buyer’s Diligence Reports, but with no liability for the accuracy thereof and no representation that Seller or any other party may rely thereon; provided, however that Seller shall pay any copying and delivery fees, costs or expenses actually incurred in connection with the copying and delivery of such Buyer Diligence Reports. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges that the Property Documents may not be complete in all respects and that Seller may not have complete information concerning the Hotel and Buyer acknowledges that such incomplete information should not be relied upon and should be verified to Buyer’s satisfaction during Due Diligence.
4.2 Guidelines for Inspection Rights. Buyer’s rights to conduct Due Diligence shall be subject to the following further requirements: (a) Due Diligence may only be performed during business hours and must not interfere with the operation or management of the Hotel or disturb the rights of guests; (b) Buyer must provide Seller with at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice of its intent to perform Due Diligence on the Property and Seller shall have the right to have a representative of Seller present during any such entry upon the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives; (c) Buyer shall not contact any Hotel contractor, Hotel guest, or Hotel Employee without Seller’s prior written consent; (d) Seller or its designated representative shall have the right to pre-approve, and be present during, any physical testing of the Property;
- 2 - | Purchase Agreement |
(e) Buyer shall immediately return the Property to the condition existing prior to any tests and inspections in all material respects; (f) Due Diligence activities may not affect the appearance of the Hotel in any way; and (g) Buyer may not conduct any invasive sampling, boring, testing, or analysis of soils, surface water or groundwater at the Property without first having obtained prior written approval of Seller, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Prior to such time as Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives enter the Property, Buyer shall (i) obtain policies of general liability insurance which insure Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives with liability insurance limits of not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit for personal injury and property damage and name Seller as an additional insured and which are with such insurance companies, provide such coverages and carry such other limits as Seller shall reasonably require, and (ii) provide Seller with certificates of insurance evidencing that Buyer has obtained the aforementioned policies of insurance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except in connection with the preparation of a so-called “Phase I” environmental report with respect to the Property, the issuance of a standard “zoning letter” with respect to the Property, the issuance of a report by The Planning & Zoning Resource Corp. or the issuance of certain other licenses and permits, including without limitation the liquor license, Buyer shall not contact any governmental official or representative regarding hazardous materials on, or the environmental condition of, the Property, or the status of compliance of the Property with zoning, building code or similar Laws, without Seller’s prior written consent thereto. In addition, if Seller’s consent is obtained by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to receive at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the intended contact and to have a representative present when Buyer has any such contact with any governmental official or representative.
4.3 Title and Survey Examination. If not previously delivered, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of Seller’s most recent survey of the Property, if any, in Seller’s possession, and either (i) Seller’s title insurance policy in Seller’s possession, or (ii) a Title Commitment dated within 90 days of the Effective Date.
A. Title and Survey Objections. Buyer shall have until ten (10) days prior to the Due Diligence Deadline to notify Seller in writing of any Title Objections; any such notice shall be accompanied by the Title Commitment and Survey and any other materials which evidence or disclose such objections to title. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of any Title Objections on or before such date, then, notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein, such failure to notify Seller shall constitute a waiver of such right to object to such matters existing as of the Effective Date. Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of such notice if Seller has elected to Remove any such Title Objections. If Seller fails to respond within such timeframe, Seller shall be deemed to have declined to remove such Title Objections (other than Required Removal Items). If Seller does not covenant to Buyer that Seller will Remove the Title Objections prior to Closing, Buyer shall have until the Due Diligence Deadline to elect in writing, either to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination, or (b) waive its Title Objections (other than Required Removal Items) and proceed with the Transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its election by such time, it shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in clause (b)
- 3 - | Purchase Agreement |
above. Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Title Exception and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.
B. Cure of Title Matters. At Closing, if this Agreement is not Terminated as permitted herein, Seller shall Remove or cause to be Removed any Title Objections to the extent (and only to the extent) that the same constitute Required Removal Items or Seller has expressly agreed to Remove a Title Objection pursuant to subsection (A) above.
C. Intentionally Deleted.
D. Pre-Closing “Gap” Defects. Whether or not Buyer shall have furnished to Seller any notice of Title Objections before the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer may at or prior to Closing notify Seller in writing of any defects in title arising between the earlier of (i) the effective date of Buyer’s Title Commitment and (ii) the Due Diligence Deadline, and the Closing Date. With respect to any Title Objections set forth in such notice, Buyer shall have the same rights as those which apply to any notice of defects in title resulting from a notice of title defects by Buyer on or before the Due Diligence Deadline and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations to cure the same at or prior to Closing. If necessary, the date for Closing shall be automatically extended (by not more than fifteen (15) days) to allow Seller to cure such pre-closing “gap” defects.
E. Status of Title and Survey as of Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has received and reviewed that certain ALTA/ASCM Land Title Survey of Hotel Indigo, prepared for IND East Village SD Holdings, LLC, First American Title Insurance Company, Terra Nova Title & Settlement Services, and Chesapeake Lodging Trust, CHSP San Diego LLC and CHSP TRS San Diego LLC, prepared by Xxxxxxx & Xxxx Structural & Civil Engineers & Surveyors, bearing the seal and certification of Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, P.L.S. No. 8380, dated May 16, 2011, last revised June 2, 2011, for and with respect to the Property (the “Updated Survey”) and that certain Title Insurance Commitment, Commitment No. NCS-483876-SF, with a commitment date of May 16, 2011, last updated on June 1, 2011, issued by the Title Company for the Property (the “Final Title Insurance Commitment”), and that it has no Title Objections with respect to any matters or items disclosed or shown on or in the Updated Survey or Final Title Insurance Commitment (and shall not send to Seller any Title Objections with respect to same) and shall take title to the Property subject to all such matters which shall constitute Permitted Title Exceptions.
4.4 As-Is, Where-Is, With All Faults Sale. Because Buyer is to conduct such Due Diligence as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer shall independently confirm to its satisfaction all information that it considers material to its purchase of the Property or the Transaction, and the Property shall be sold, and Buyer shall accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, with no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except for Seller’s Warranties, none of the Seller Parties have or shall be deemed to have made any verbal or
- 4 - | Purchase Agreement |
written representations, warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise) to Buyer with respect to the Property, any matter set forth, contained or addressed in the Documents (including, but not limited to, the accuracy and completeness thereof) or the results of Buyer’s Due Diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such acknowledgment is not intended to, and shall not be construed to affect or impair any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller as a result of a breach of any of Seller’s Warranties. To evidence the foregoing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the Closing, an As Is Agreement as required by Paragraph 6.3B.
4.5 Termination Right. If Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines not to proceed with the Transaction or is not satisfied with any matters relating to the Property, Buyer may Terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller at any time prior to the Due Diligence Deadline and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit. If, at or prior to the Due Diligence Deadline, Buyer has not delivered to Seller a termination notice as aforesaid, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of the Property (subject to Seller’s compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants of this Agreement, and the conditions set forth in Paragraph 10) and shall thereafter have no right to Terminate this Agreement on account of such Due Diligence termination right under this Paragraph 4. If after the Due Diligence Deadline Buyer conducts further Due Diligence, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such further Due Diligence or otherwise in accordance with this Paragraph 4 after the Due Diligence Deadline, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
5. Seller’s Covenants. Seller agrees that between the Effective Date and the Closing Date:
5.1 No Alteration of Title. Seller shall not transfer or further alter or encumber in any way Seller’s title to the Real Property as it exists as of the Effective Date without written notice to, and the prior written consent of, Buyer. If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the proposed instrument. Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to any such instrument that is proposed prior to the Due Diligence Deadline.
5.2 Intentionally Deleted.
5.3 Contracts. Except as it relates to “Excepted Contracts” (hereinafter defined), if Seller desires to (i) enter into any new Contracts, (ii) cancel, modify, amend, extend or renew any existing Contracts, or (iii) waive any default under, accept any surrender of, any Contracts, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice of such action, which notice shall contain information regarding the proposed action that Seller believes is reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed action. Except for Contracts that can be terminated, without penalty, upon thirty (30) days (or less) written notice from the owner of the Property (“Excepted Contracts”), Seller shall not be entitled to take such action without either (A) prior written notice to Buyer, provided such written notice is received by Buyer on or before three (3) Business Days before the Due Diligence Deadline, and
- 5 - | Purchase Agreement |
(B) thereafter, Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and if no response by Buyer is made within three (3) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of such request and all documents related thereto, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted). Upon delivery of such written consent, such Contract or modification thereof shall thereupon be included or excluded, as the case may be, within or from the definition of “Contracts” set forth herein. Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with true, correct and complete copies of any Contract, modification, or amendment entered into by Seller. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, without any requirement for notice or consent from Buyer, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any of its legal rights to enforce any Contract.
5.4 Status of Property. Between the Effective Date and Closing Seller shall maintain and keep the Property in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practices with respect to the Property; provided, however, that, subject to Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement prior to the Due Diligence Deadline in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 4 hereof and in light of Buyer’s right to conduct Due Diligence, Buyer hereby agrees that Buyer shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws, or (b) any physical condition that would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing.
5.5 Tax Appeals. Seller shall have the right to continue and to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during the Closing Tax Year and all prior Tax Years. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller has appealed the taxes for the Property with respect to the 2009 and 2010 Tax Years, such tax appeals remain pending, and following Closing, Seller shall continue to control such tax appeals without any interference from Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives; provided, however, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with periodic updates regarding of the ongoing status of such pending tax appeals. Buyer shall have the right to control the progress of and to make all decisions with respect to any tax contest of the real estate taxes and personal property taxes for the Property due and payable during all Tax Years subsequent to the Closing Tax Year. All real estate and personal property tax refunds and credits received after Closing with respect to the Property shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to pay the out-of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements and fees contingent on the amount of recovery) incurred in connection with obtaining such tax refund or credit; and second, apportioned between Buyer and Seller as follows: (a) any refunds or credits attributable to the Closing Tax Year shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller in the manner provided in Paragraph 7.1; (b) any refunds or credits attributable to any period prior to the Closing Tax Year, shall be paid to Seller; and (c) any refunds or credits attributable to any period after the Closing Tax Year shall be paid to Buyer. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each other and to execute any and all documents reasonably requested in furtherance of the foregoing. The provisions this Paragraph shall survive the Closing.
5.6 Personal Property. Seller shall not remove any of the Property, including Personal Property, from the Real Property nor use any of the Personal Property prior to the Closing Date except such use thereof as is normal and customary in the operation and maintenance of the Property. Seller covenants that items of all Personal Property shall be maintained at Seller’s customary level of quality and will be available and conveyed to Buyer on the Closing Date.
- 6 - | Purchase Agreement |
5.7 Intellectual Property. Upon Buyer’s reasonable request, Seller shall in good faith, but without cost or obligation to itself, exercise reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to obtain authorization or consent from third party lessors or licensors to the assignment or other transfer to Buyer of such computer hardware, software or system(s) leases or licenses as are integral to the operation of the Property as of the Effective Date. Seller will not be required to pay any sums or otherwise incur any obligation in connection with any such requested assignment or transfer. Buyer shall be solely responsible for any early termination, transfer, re-licensing or other fees of any nature payable in connection any such assignment or transfer. Buyer shall and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs, arising from or related to the early termination or breach of any such leases or licenses as a result of such transfer or assignment. In the absence of an express assignment of any such lease or license, the Buyer acknowledges that no such lease or license shall be transferred to Buyer at Closing. Buyer also acknowledges that Seller and the Seller Parties are retaining all right, title and interest in and to all their respective intellectual property rights that may be used within or comprise any part of the Property except as may be specifically licensed to Buyer pursuant to Exhibit P.
5.8 Liquor License. The liquor license for the Hotel is personal to Seller and will not be assigned to Buyer. The liquor license will continue to be held by IHG Management (Maryland) LLC, as manager, and such license will continue to be used to operate the liquor facilities at the Hotel after the Closing in accordance with the Management Agreement.
5.9 Continued Marketing of the Hotel for Sale. Seller shall not negotiate, execute or otherwise pursue offers for the purchase and sale of the Property with any party, other than Buyer, during the term of this Agreement.
5.10 Operation of the Property. Seller covenants that between the Effective Date and Closing, it will (a) operate the Hotel in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with Seller’s past practice, and (b) maintain its books of account and records in a commercially reasonable manner, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Seller shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to take guest room reservations and to book functions and meetings.

- 15 - | Purchase Agreement |
8.2 Seller’s Warranties Deemed Modified. Because Buyer’s primary reliance on the status of the matters addressed by Seller’s Warranties is Buyer’s own Due Diligence, to the extent that Buyer (a) has actual knowledge of, or (b) has received information in writing or in Buyer’s Diligence reports (whether such information is actually known to Buyer or not) that Seller’s Warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Buyer’s knowledge or deemed knowledge, as the case may be.

If at or prior to the Closing, Seller obtains actual knowledge that any Seller’s Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). After the Due Diligence Deadline but prior to the Closing, if Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative obtains actual knowledge that any Seller’s Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days after obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Seller shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed fifteen (15) days) to attempt such cure. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within five (5) Business Days of obtaining knowledge that any Seller’s Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect, then Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty. If any Seller’s Warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect as of the date made, and Seller is unable to so cure such misrepresentation or breach, then Buyer, as its sole remedy shall elect either (a) to waive such misrepresentation or breach and consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (b) to Terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on or before the Closing Date, in which event any Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but are not, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Buyer shall be required to consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties shall be deemed material only if Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of Seller’s Warranties are reasonably estimated to exceed $150,000.00.
8.4 Survival and Limits On Buyer’s Claims. Seller’s Warranties shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein for a period of six (6) months, and Seller shall only be liable to Buyer hereunder for a breach of Seller’s Warranties made herein or in any of the documents executed by Seller at the Closing with respect to which a claim is made by Buyer against Seller in writing on or before six (6) months after the date of the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller for breaches of Seller’s Warranties shall be subject to Seller’s Liability Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Closing occurs, Buyer hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or remedy available to it at law, in equity, under this Agreement or otherwise to make a claim against Seller for damages that Buyer may incur, or to rescind this Agreement
- 16 - | Purchase Agreement |
and the Transaction, as the result of any of Seller’s Warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect if (a) Buyer knew or is deemed to know as set forth in Paragraph 8.2 that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect at the time of the Closing (Buyer’s remedy being as set forth in Paragraph 8.3), or (b) Buyer’s damages as a result of such representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate or incorrect are reasonably estimated to aggregate less than $150,000.00.

Except with respect to Information that Seller has made representations and warranties as provided in Paragraph 8.1 of this Agreement, Buyer hereby waives, relinquishes and releases Seller and its affiliates, agents and representatives from any claim, action, damages or compensation related to any Information Buyer or its affiliates have received, for itself and its affiliates and principals.

Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to determine which, if any, portion of such rebate is attributable to Seller’s activities prior to the Closing Date, whereupon Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for Seller’s share of each rebate.
