its 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

(collectively, “Damages”), arising out of or relating to:
(i) any claim made or asserted against Buyer or any of the Property by a

act or other similar laws;
(ii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of

Obligations; and
(iv) the conduct and operation by or on behalf of Seller of the Hotel or the

the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available
to Seller for a breach hereof, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller
and its successors from and against all Damages arising out of or relating to:
(i) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
Buyer contained in this Contract;
(ii) the conduct and operation by or on behalf of Buyer of the Hotel or the
ownership, use or operation of the Property after the Closing; and
(iii) the Assumed Obligations.
(c) Indemnification Procedure for Claims of Third Parties. Indemnification,
with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this
Contract (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(i) 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 8.8, 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.
(ii) 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 sole 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 and shall
notify the Indemnifying Party at least ten (10) days prior to any proposed settlement of the
terms thereof. 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.
(iii) 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 opinion 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 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, unless a judicial
determination is made that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant
to this Section 8.8.
(iv) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the
Indemnified 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, accounts
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.
(v) 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed
unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable
relief against the Indemnified Party or its assets, employees, Affiliates or business, or
relief which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent
which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business.
(d) Limitation of Seller’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this
Contract to the contrary, Seller’s obligation to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 8.8(a) shall
be subject to the following:
(i) Deductible. Buyer shall not be entitled to recover Damages
pursuant to Section 8.8(a) until the aggregate of all Damages suffered by Buyer exceeds Ten

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
13.1 Risk of Loss; Notice. Prior to Closing and the delivery of possession
of the Property to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, all risk of loss to the Property
(whether by casualty, condemnation or otherwise) shall be borne by Seller. In the event that (a)
any loss or damage to the Hotel shall occur prior to the Closing Date as a result of fire or other
casualty, or (b) Seller receives notice that a governmental authority has initiated or threatened
to initiate a condemnation proceeding affecting the Hotel, Seller shall give Buyer immediate
written notice of such loss, damage or condemnation proceeding (which notice shall include a
certification of (i) the amounts of insurance coverages in effect with respect to the loss or
damage and (ii) if known, the amount of the award to be received in such condemnation).
13.2 Buyer’s Termination Right. If, prior to Closing and the delivery of
possession of the Property to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, (a) any condemnation
proceeding shall be pending against a substantial portion of the Hotel or (b) there is any
substantial casualty loss or damage to the Hotel, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this
Contract, provided Buyer delivers written notice to Seller of its election within twenty (20) days
after the date Seller has delivered Buyer written notice of any such loss, damage or condemnation
as provided above, and in such event, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and any interest thereon, shall be
delivered to Buyer and thereafter, except as expressly set forth herein, no party shall have any
further obligation or liability to the other under this Contract. In the context of condemnation,
“substantial” shall mean condemnation of such portion of the Hotel (or access thereto) as could, in
Buyer’s reasonable judgment, render use of the remainder impractical or unfeasible for the uses
herein contemplated, and, in the context of casualty loss or damage, “substantial” shall mean a
loss or damage in excess of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) in value.
13.3 Procedure for Closing. If Buyer shall not timely elect to terminate
this Contract under Section 13.2, or if the loss, damage or condemnation is not substantial, Seller
agrees to pay to Buyer at the Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which Seller
has received as a result of the same, plus an amount equal to the insurance deductible, and assign
to Buyer all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of the same, in which
event the Closing shall occur without Seller replacing or repairing such damage. In the case of
damage or casualty, at Buyer’s election, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair
and restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such damage or casualty and, if such
repair and restoration are not completed prior to Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer, shall assign and pay to Buyer all excess insurance proceeds, plus an amount equal to the
insurance deductible.

(provided no notice shall extend the time for Closing), then at Seller’s election by written notice
to Buyer, this Contract shall be terminated and of no effect, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money
Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be paid to and retained by the Seller as
Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, and as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default or
failure to close, and both Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations
hereunder.

default continues for thirty (30) days following written notice from Buyer (provided no notice

Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be returned to the Buyer, and
thereafter both the Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations with respect
to this Contract, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) to treat this Contract 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 damages, specific performance and all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity, provided that in any action for damages Seller’s liability shall be limited to actual
out-of-pocket transactions costs (including, without limitation, legal fees) incurred by Buyer in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and Buyer’s proposed purchase of the Property,
but not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) except in the case of any
claim for damages relating to any intentional or fraudulent breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of Seller, in which event, the limitation set forth in this proviso shall not apply.
14.3 Attorney’s Fees. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if
it shall be necessary for either the Buyer or Seller to employ an attorney to enforce its rights
pursuant to this Contract because of the default of the other party, and the non-defaulting party
is successful in enforcing such rights, then the defaulting party shall reimburse the
non-defaulting party for the non-defaulting party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses.

provided that Buyer is not released from liability pursuant to Section 3.3. Buyer shall provide

of time prior to Closing. Seller shall not assign this Contract without the prior written consent

and entire agreement between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter hereof. No
modification of this Contract shall be binding unless signed by both Buyer and Seller.
16.4 Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and
performance of this Contract shall in all ways be governed and determined in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without regard to conflicts of law principles).
16.5 Captions. The captions used in this Contract have been inserted only
for purposes of convenience and the same shall not be construed or interpreted so as to limit or
define the intent or the scope of any part of this Contract.
16.6 Confidentiality.
(a) Except as either party may reasonably determine is required by law (including
without limitation laws and regulations applicable to Buyer or its Affiliates who may be public
companies): (i) prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall not disclose the existence of this
Contract or their respective intentions to purchase and sell the Property or generate or
participate in any publicity or press release regarding this transaction, except to Buyer’s and
Seller’s legal counsel and lender, Buyer’s consultants and agents, the Manager, the Existing
Manager, the Franchisor and the Title Company and except as necessitated by the Due Diligence
Examination and/or shadow management, unless both Buyer and Seller agree in writing and as
necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) following Closing, the
parties shall coordinate any public disclosure or release of information related to the
transactions contemplated by this Contract, and no such public disclosure or release shall be made
without the prior written consent of Buyer, and no press release shall be made without the prior
written approval of Buyer and Seller.
(b) Buyer shall keep confidential all information received from or on behalf of
Seller during or in connection with the Due Diligence Examination (not already in the public domain
or previously known to Buyer from other sources not bound by a confidentiality agreement with
Seller the existence of which has been disclosed in writing to Buyer by Seller) and shall not
disclose said information to any third party without Seller’s prior written consent.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer may disclose such information and the
terms of this transaction (i) to the Franchisor and the Manager and to Buyer’s successors,
permitted assigns,
Affiliates, investors, lenders, employees, agents, attorneys, advisors and/or consultants
provided that such persons agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information and this

16.9 Severability. If any provision of this Contract shall, for any reason,
be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such judgment
shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this Contract but shall be confined in its
operation to the provision or provisions hereof directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered, and this Contract shall be construed as if such provision had
never existed, unless such construction would operate as an undue hardship on Seller or Buyer or
would constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent of the parties as reflected in
this Contract.

Contract, the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and the
use of any gender shall include the use of any other gender, as the context may require.
