3.01 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing shall be One Hundred Forty Three Million Dollars ($143,000,000), subject to the prorations and adjustments as provided in this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among (i) the Land, (ii) the Improvements, and (iii) the Personal Property as may be determined by agreement of Seller and Purchaser prior to the Closing for federal, state and local tax purposes in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. During the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller for its review a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (and any other items that are required for federal income tax purposes to be treated as part of the Purchase Price) among the assets to be purchased by Purchaser (the “Allocation”). Seller shall review such Allocation and provide any objections to Purchaser within 10 days after receipt thereof. If Seller raises any objection to the Allocation, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith (provided that failing to agree to an Allocation due to negative economic consequences that will be incurred by a party as a result of doing so shall in no event be considered a failure to negotiate in good faith) to resolve such objection(s). The parties shall use their good faith efforts to agree to an Allocation prior to the end of the Inspection Period. Upon reaching an agreement on such Allocation, Purchaser and Seller shall

(i) cooperate in the filing of any forms (including Form 8594 under Section 1060 of the Code) with respect to such allocation as finally resolved, including any amendments to such forms required pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any adjustment to the Purchase Price, and (ii) shall file all federal, state and local tax returns and related tax documents consistent with such allocation, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the parties hereto are unable to agree on a mutually satisfactory Allocation, each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its own Allocation for purposes of this Section 3.01. The provisions of this Section 3.01 shall survive the Closing without limitation. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows:

(a) No later than one (1) Business Day after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Purchaser, Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Company, as escrow agent, the amount of Four Million and 00/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) by a wire transfer of immediately available United States of America funds as an xxxxxxx money deposit (together with the interest earned thereon, the “Initial Deposit”).

(b) No later than 5:00 P.M. on the date on which the Inspection Period expires, if Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.04, Purchaser shall make an additional deposit with the Escrow Company, as escrow agent, in the amount of Four Million and 00/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) (together with the Initial Deposit and the interest earned thereon, herein the “Deposit”).

(c) On the date of Closing, Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, subject to the prorations and adjustments provided for in this Agreement, in cash by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available United States of America funds to the Escrow Company, as escrow agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser shall be responsible for any income taxes payable with respect to any interest and/or dividends earned with respect to the Deposit. For those purposes, Purchaser’s federal taxpayer identification number is 00-0000000. The terms of this Section 3.01(c) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(d) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a check in the amount of $1,000 (the “Independent Contract Consideration”), which amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for the Seller’s grant to Purchaser of Purchaser’s right to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms hereof and for Seller’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Independent Contract Consideration is in addition to and independent of any other consideration or payment provided in this Agreement, is nonrefundable under any circumstances and will be retained by Seller notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement.

The Deposit shall be invested in a federally issued or insured interest bearing instrument and any interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the party to which the Deposit is paid pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any and all taxes payable in connection with any interest earned on the Deposit. If the sale of the Property is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price to be paid by

Purchaser at the Closing. In the event of a default under this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller, the Deposit shall be applied as provided in this Agreement.

Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to enter upon the Property during the Inspection Period to examine, inspect and investigate the Property including, but not limited to, all Books and Records located at the Property, subject to Manager’s good faith compliance with Legal Requirements with respect to access to any and all Employee records (collectively, “Due Diligence”); provided, however, the Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement based on such Due Diligence after the expiration of the Inspection Period. Purchaser’s Due Diligence shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article IV, and Purchaser’s conduct shall be in strict compliance with the covenants and agreements contained in this Article IV.

4.02 Review and Inspection. Purchaser shall have a right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of conducting its Due Diligence provided that in each such instance (i) Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of its intent to enter the Property to conduct its Due Diligence not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to such entry; (ii) the date and time period are scheduled with Seller; and (iii) Purchaser is in full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in Section 4.06.

If the Property is not acceptable to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination (the “Termination Notice”) to Seller and the Escrow Company on or before the expiration of the

Inspection Period. Upon receipt by Seller and the Escrow Company of such Termination Notice, (i) this Agreement shall be terminated, (ii) the parties shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other (except for any provisions of this Agreement which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 4.06) and (iii) the Escrow Company shall within one (1) Business Day of its confirmation of Seller’s receipt of the Termination Notice return to Purchaser the Initial Deposit less the amount of any damages allegedly payable to Seller pursuant to the indemnification set forth in Section 4.06, if any, and specifically set forth in a notice given by Seller to the Escrow Company and Purchaser prior to the Escrow Company’s receipt of the Termination Notice which alleged damages shall be retained by the Escrow Company until the resolution of such claim.

Purchaser agrees and covenants with Seller not to disclose to any third party (other than its agents and employees, directors, trustees, potential hotel managers, lenders, accountants, attorneys, and other professionals and consultants engaged by Purchaser (collectively, “Purchaser Parties”) in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement who shall also be obligated under this Section 4.05 not to disclose) without Seller’s prior written consent any of the terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Books and Records or any of the reports or any other documentation or information obtained by Purchaser or any Purchaser Parties which relates to the Property, Seller or its Affiliates in any way, all of which shall be used by Purchaser and the Purchaser Parties solely in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, unless Purchaser or any Purchaser Party is obligated by applicable law to make such a disclosure. If such disclosure is required by applicable law or regulations, then Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of such obligation to ensure Seller has the opportunity prevent any such disclosure. If this Agreement is terminated, Purchaser agrees that all such information will continue to be held in strict confidence and Purchaser shall return all copies of such information to Seller and upon written request of Seller, copies of information that was prepared by Purchaser excluding any correspondence or materials subject to the attorney-client privilege or which Purchaser is contractually or legally not permitted to disclose or any Purchaser Party if contractually permitted to do so (provided that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to be able to disclose any non-attorney-client privileged materials) or if consented to by Seller in its reasonable discretion, Purchaser shall destroy all copies of such information in its possession or control and certify in writing to Seller of the destruction of such information. Except as set forth in Sections 5.01 and 14.01(b), Seller makes no representation or warranty to the completeness or accuracy of such confidential information and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for any costs incurred as a result of Purchaser’s or any Purchaser Party’s use of such information in violation of this Section 4.05. The provisions of this Section 4.05 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

4.06 Indemnification; Restoration; Insurance. Purchaser agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller, Manager and each of their Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by any of Seller, Manager or any of their Indemnitees as a result of or in connection with any activities of Purchaser (including activities

of any of Purchaser’s employees, consultants, contractors or other agents) relating to its inspection of the Property, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens, damage to the Property, injury to persons or property resulting from such activities in connection therewith, except to the extent resulting from Seller’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct or a violation of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall not include any obligation or duty whatsoever with respect to any such claims (including claims that the Real Property has declined in value) to the extent arising out of or resulting from the mere discovery or presence of any pre-existing Hazardous Substances or other property condition. If the Property is damaged in any material respect as result of such activities, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly repair such damage to the Property to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees to maintain and cause any of its representatives or agents conducting any Due Diligence to maintain and have in effect commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) for personal injury, including bodily injury and death, and property damage, naming Seller and Manager as an additional insured parties, and containing a waiver of subrogation.

4.07 Title and Survey. Seller will cause the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser an updated title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) on the Property, and Seller has previously delivered to Purchaser an ALTA survey (the “Survey”) of the Land and Improvements. If Purchaser, in its sole discretion, objects to the Survey or any of the exceptions shown in the Title Commitment or any other matter affecting title to the Real Property, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a written notice of such objections (the “Objection Letter”), which notice shall contain a reasonably detailed explanation of such objections, no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on December 7, 2010. If Purchaser does not deliver an Objection Letter by 5:00 P.M. Eastern time on such date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions contained in the Title Commitment (other than the Seller Encumbrances), the form and substance of the Survey and all matters shown thereon. All such exceptions and matters and any exceptions or matters caused by or through Purchaser shall be “Permitted Exceptions”. In the event any such objections are timely made by Purchaser, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by delivery of a notice to Purchaser (the “Seller’s Response Notice”) no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on that date which is two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Objection Letter (the “Seller’s Response Period”) to cure (by removal, endorsement or otherwise) such objections in the manner specified in the Seller’s Response Notice within the time periods provided herein. The procurement by the Seller of a commitment for the issuance of a title policy or endorsement thereto by the Title Company insuring Purchaser against the exception or other matter shall be deemed a cure of such exception or matter as long as the Title Company agrees to delete such exception or affirmatively insure over such exception. If there are objections timely made by Purchaser that Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure, then Purchaser shall have the right, upon the earlier of (i) receipt of Seller’s Response Notice or (ii) the expiration of the Seller’s Response Period to either (a) terminate this Agreement (whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser less the amount of any damages allegedly payable to Seller pursuant to the indemnification set forth in Section 4.06) or

(b) be deemed to have agreed to accept title to the Real Property subject to all exceptions to title set forth in the updated Title Commitment (other than the Seller Encumbrances), as applicable, and all matters shown on the updated Survey, as applicable, other than those which Seller has expressly agreed to remedy in the manner set forth in Seller’s Response Notice and proceed to Closing. If any such objections are not cured (or arrangements for such cure to be effective as of the Closing are not made) by Seller by the expiration of the Inspection Period in the manner provided in Seller’s Response Notice, then Purchaser may as its only option, elect to either: (y) waive such objection(s) and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without adjustment to the Purchase Price or (z) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party except for the obligations in this Agreement that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall remove at Closing (i) any mortgage, deed of trust or similar voluntary monetary lien affecting the Property and (ii) any mechanic’s or similar liens for work performed at the Property at Seller’s request (individually and collectively, the “Seller Encumbrances”). Seller shall be permitted to use the Purchase Price to effect such removal at Closing.

4.08 Space Leases, Hotel Contracts and Equipment Leases. Purchaser agrees to assume all obligations under the Space Leases and, to the extent assumable or any requisite consent is obtained, the Hotel Contracts (including any Equipment Leases), arising from and after the Closing Date and at its sole cost and expenses, shall pay all of the actual out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with assignment and assumption of the Space Leases and the Hotel Contracts; provided that in no event shall Purchaser pay any out-of-pocket expenses of Seller with respect to its internal costs or outside legal expenses; and provided further the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents or satisfy any other requirements in connection with the assignment and assumption of all Space Leases and Hotel Contracts. Purchaser agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller, Manager and each of their Indemnitees harmless from and against any cost, expense, claim or Liability arising from and after the Closing Date in connection with the assignment and assumption of the Space Leases and the Hotels Contracts or the termination of any assumable (whether by its terms or based on the receipt of any requisite consent) Hotel Contract that Purchaser elects to terminate or not to assume; provided, however, that Seller shall bear any termination fee, penalty or other cost or expense under any Hotel Contract that is not assumable by Purchaser and as to which a requisite consent to assumption by Purchaser is not obtained. The provisions of this Section 4.08 shall survive the Closing.

4.09 Franchise Agreement. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to Closing that Franchisor shall have agreed that Purchaser or its designee may assume the Franchise Agreement on the same material economic terms and conditions set forth in the Franchise Agreement, which terms and conditions shall include the same franchise fees, termination rights and area of protection set forth in the Franchise Agreement (the “Material Franchise Terms”) or that Franchisor shall have entered into a new hotel franchise agreement with Purchaser or its designee on the form included in Franchisor’s current Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (“UFOC”) containing the Material Franchise Terms. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that Seller has entered into this Agreement on the basis that no termination fees or liquidated damages shall be payable by Seller as a result of the sale of the Property to Purchaser as a result of Purchaser or its designee (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) either (i) so

assuming the Franchise Agreement and obtaining any required consent of Franchisor in connection therewith or (ii) so entering into a new hotel franchise agreement with Franchisor for the Hotel and, in either instance, Seller receiving a written release from Franchisor of any obligations under the Franchise Agreement arising after Closing (including pursuant to any guaranties from Seller or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the Franchise Agreement). If Closing occurs and Purchaser or its designee has not so assumed the Franchise Agreement and Seller shall not have obtained a release of Seller as set forth above or so entered into a new hotel franchise agreement with Franchisor set forth above, in each case such that no termination fees, liquidated damages or similar fees and penalties are payable by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including Seller or any entity owning a beneficial interest in Seller in its capacity as a guarantor or otherwise) as a result of the sale of the Property to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller (and any Affiliate of Seller) harmless from any such termination fees, liquidated damages or similar fees and penalties (and any other Liabilities that Seller would not bear if the Franchise Agreement was not terminated pursuant to the sale of the Property to Purchaser) in connection with the termination of the Franchise Agreement as of the Closing. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with one another and each use its reasonable best efforts to obtain either (x) Franchisor’s written consent to the assumption of the Franchise Agreement as set forth above as of Closing or (ii) Franchisor’s written commitment to enter into a new franchise agreement with Franchisor as set forth above, in each case prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, and to provide a copy of such consent or commitment for deposit with Escrow Company (with a conforming copy provided to Seller). The provisions of this Section 4.09 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

4.10 Natural Hazard Disclosures. As used herein, the term “California Natural Hazard Area” shall mean those areas identified as natural hazard areas or natural hazards in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4 and 51183.5, and California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694 and 4136, and any successor statutes or laws (collectively the “California Natural Hazard Laws”). Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller has provided Purchaser with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (the “California NHDS”) in a form required by the California Natural Hazard Laws. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller retained the services of The Planning & Zoning Resource Corporation to examine the maps and other information made available to the public by government agencies for the purpose of enabling Seller to fulfill its disclosure obligations with respect to the California Natural Hazard Laws and to prepare the written report of the result of its examination (the “California Natural Hazard Report”). Purchaser acknowledges that the California Natural Hazard Report fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations under the California Natural Hazard Laws and under California Civil Code Sections 1102 through 1102.17. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the California NHDS releases Purchaser from its obligation to fully investigate and satisfy itself with the condition of the Property during the Inspection Period, including, without limitation, whether the Property is located in any California Natural Hazard Area. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the California NHDS or California Natural Hazard Report may change on or prior to the Closing and that Seller has no obligation to update, modify or supplement the California NHDS or California Natural Hazard Report. Purchaser is solely responsible for preparing and delivering its own California NHDS to subsequent prospective purchasers of the Property.

EMPLOYEES

12.01 Employees.

It is agreed that the number of Employees hired, the selection of which Employees are hired, and the initial terms and conditions of employment for each Employee hired by Purchaser, or its designee or management company engaged by Purchaser to employ Hotel personnel, shall be solely determined by Purchaser or such designee or management company, provided such terms and conditions of employment satisfy the provisions of this Section 12.01(a).

respect to the employment or termination of any Employees that arise prior to the Closing, or which are attributable to the termination of such Employees by Seller, its Affiliates or Manager at or prior to Closing, except to the extent that such debts, obligations and/or Liabilities are expressly covered by a credit against the Purchase Price specifically provided in this Agreement. In the event any labor organization becomes the exclusive representative of any group of Employees for purposes of collective bargaining in accordance with federal labor law prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees to enter into, or cause its designee or management company to enter into, good faith negotiations with such labor unions in accordance with the National Labor Relations Act. The Parties hereto agree that Seller, its Affiliates and Manager shall not be subject to any of the debts, obligations and/or Liabilities of Purchaser, or Purchaser’s designee or management company, which are attributable to any actions or omissions of Purchaser or such designee or management company, or any agents or representatives thereof, in the process of the hiring any of the Employees, including, without limitation, any claims arising out of or relating to whether, and upon which terms and conditions, any such Employees are offered employment by Purchaser or such designee or management company, or are hired (or subsequently terminated) by Purchaser or such designee or management company, or which may otherwise exist regarding the employment of employees at the Hotel by Purchaser or such designee or management company from and after the Closing (“Purchaser’s Employee Obligations”).

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

14.01 Additional Covenants. In addition, the parties agree as follows:

(a) Liquor License. Purchaser shall use diligent, good faith efforts to effect the transfer of any existing Liquor License held by Seller, Manager or their applicable Affiliate to Purchaser or its designee or management company as of the Closing Date or to permit Purchaser or its designee or management company to obtain a new Liquor License for the Hotel. Purchaser agrees to pay all fees, charges and related costs in connection with the transfer of the existing Liquor License or to obtain a new Liquor License. Promptly following the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, complete, execute and file with the applicable liquor licensing authority all necessary applications for transfer of the Liquor License or to obtain a new Liquor License. In connection with Purchaser’s actions described in the foregoing sentence, at the request of Purchaser, (i) Seller shall, or shall cause the current holder of the Liquor License to, execute and deliver a liquor escrow agreement in a form and on such terms as are reasonable and customary for the transfer of a liquor license and liquor assets in the State of California and (ii) the parties shall allocate a portion of the Purchase Price to the Liquor License in accordance with the terms of Section 3.1, (provided, however, the parties acknowledge that no portion of the cost of the liquor inventory shall be allocated to the Purchase Price and such costs shall be paid to Seller (or the current holder of the Liquor License) pursuant to the terms of Section 7.01(i)). Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that the transfer of the Liquor License to Purchaser on the Closing Date (or the issuance of a new Liquor License) shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction contemplated under this Agreement. If despite the exercise of such efforts by Purchaser, Purchaser is unable to obtain a transfer of the Liquor License or a new Liquor License on or before the Closing Date, then Seller agrees that it shall cause Xxxxxxx Beverage, LLC, an Affiliate of Manager and Seller that holds the Liquor License, to enter into a customary form interim beverage services agreement or lease with Purchaser in form reasonably satisfactory to Manager and Xxxxxxx Beverage, LLC, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation, an indemnification from Purchaser of Manager and Xxxxxxx Beverage, LLC with respect to any and all damages, claims, losses, expenses, costs or other Liabilities arising during the term of such services agreement for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date.

(b) Brokerage. Purchaser and Seller warrant and represent to each other that they have not had any dealings with any broker, agent or finder relating to the sale of the Property or the transactions contemplated hereby other than Eastdil Secured, LLC (the “Broker”). Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold the other Party and its Indemnitees harmless against and from any and all Liabilities incurred arising out of or resulting from any claim for brokerage commissions, compensation or fees by any broker, agent or finder acting on such Party’s behalf other than the Broker, which Seller is compensating under a separate agreement in connection with the sale of the Property. The provisions of this Section 14.01(b) shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

(c) Guest Baggage. All baggage of guests who are still in the Hotel on the Closing Date, which has been checked with or left in the care of Seller or Manager shall be inventoried, sealed and tagged jointly by Seller and Purchaser on the Closing Date. Purchaser hereby agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller and its Indemnitees harmless against any Liabilities in connection with such baggage arising out of the acts or omissions of Purchaser or its Affiliates (or any of their employees or agents) after the Closing Date.

(d) Safe Deposits. Immediately after the Closing, Seller shall send written notice to guests or tenants or other persons who have safe deposit boxes, if any, advising of the sale of the Hotel to Purchaser and requesting immediate removal of the contents thereof or the removal thereof and concurrent re deposit of such contents pursuant to new safe deposit agreements with Purchaser. Seller shall have a representative present when the boxes are opened, in the presence of a representative of the Purchaser. Any property contained in the safe deposit boxes after such re deposit shall be the responsibility of Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to save, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Indemnitees from and against any Liabilities arising out of or with respect to such property.

(e) Tax Appeal Proceedings. Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the proceeds from any tax appeals or protests for tax fiscal years prior to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs. In the event an application to reduce real estate taxes is filed for the period during which Seller was the owner of the Real Property, Seller shall be entitled to a re proration of real estate taxes upon receipt of and based upon the reduction. Seller shall continue to process any pending appeals or protests with respect to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs (and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith), and the net proceeds from any such proceedings, after payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs associated with such process, will be prorated between the parties, when received, as of the Closing Date, which obligation shall survive the Closing.

(f) Books and Records. The transaction contemplated hereby includes the Books and Records of Seller pertaining to the business of the Hotel. Purchaser covenants and agrees that such Books and Records will remain in the Hotel for examination and audit by Seller and its agents after the Closing as provided in this Section 14.01(f). Books and Records not pertaining to the business of the Hotel may be removed by Seller within a reasonable time after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to preserve all Books and Records for at least five (5) years after the Closing Date, and not to destroy or dispose of the same, for at least five (5) years after the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees to provide access to Seller and its representatives, to such books, records, files and correspondence at all reasonable times during normal business hours and following reasonable notice.

(g) Independent Audit. From and after the Effective Date until two (2) years after the Closing, upon reasonable prior notice from Purchaser Seller shall make the books and records from the operation of the Property for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and interim periods as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s independent accountants for inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser’s designated accountants at the expense of the Purchaser. Upon request, Seller will provide the Purchaser’s independent accountants with a management representation letter with respect to the audited historical financial statements of the

Property for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 and any unaudited interim period to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, which management representation letter shall be in a form customary for such letters and shall otherwise be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Upon reasonable prior notice from Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, with copies of, or access to, such factual information, accounting records and financial information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or its auditors, and in the possession or control of Seller, to enable Purchaser or its Affiliates to file reports or registration statements in compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. This Section 14.01(g) shall survive the Closing for two (2) years.

(h) Capital Expenditures. Exhibit N attached hereto sets forth the construction and design related contracts (the “ADA Contracts”) entered into by Seller for certain capital improvements at the Property (the “ADA Capital Improvements”) as part of that certain Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement made by and between Seller and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, an individual, dated on or about January 14, 2010 (the “Settlement”). Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that Seller previously (i) delivered to Purchaser a copy of the Settlement and (ii) disclosed to Purchaser the related ADA Capital Improvements. In connection with the ADA Capital Improvements, Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the positive result, if any, of (x) One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) less (y) any amounts paid by Seller prior to Closing pursuant to the ADA Contracts for the ADA Capital Improvements. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all ADA Contracts and from and after Closing shall be solely responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses of the ADA Capital Improvements in accordance with the terms of the ADA Contracts and the Settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from any Liabilities incurred by Purchaser for any other capital improvement projects or expenditures (whether construction-related or supply-related contracts) accruing or arising prior to the Closing. The foregoing indemnification shall not be subject to the Deductible.

(i) Survival. Subject to the terms of Section 5.03, the representations, warranties, obligations, covenants, agreements, undertakings and indemnifications of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement and in any closing documents delivered in connection with this Agreement, which are intended and anticipated to survive Closing, shall survive the Closing.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

15.01 Purchaser Default/Seller’s Remedies. IF PURCHASER FAILS TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER DOES NOT WAIVE SUCH FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE IN WRITING AND CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED AS ITS SOLE REMEDY TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECOVER THE DEPOSIT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ANY CLAIMS AGAINST PURCHASER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS TO

DEFAULT ARE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AND ASCERTAIN AND THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A FAIR ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES AND SUCH AMOUNT IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.

Purchaser shall pay any and all additional costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges, and disbursements) incurred by Seller that would not otherwise have been incurred by Seller had Purchaser not caused a Transfer; provided, however that Purchaser shall not be obligated to make such payment to the extent that such Transfer was to an entity that is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser for the purposes of closing on the transaction.

(b) Escrow Company shall not be liable to anyone by reason of any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by Escrow Company in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which Escrow Company may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless caused by or arising out of Escrow Company’s actual and intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) Escrow Company shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in acting in reliance, upon any writing furnished to Escrow Company by either Purchaser or Seller and shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or other document furnished to Escrow Company.

CERTIFICATION OF NON FOREIGN STATUS

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold the tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee, , a (“Transferee”) that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by HEI SAN FRANCISCO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”) and with the knowledge that the Transferee will rely upon the following statements, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of HEI Hospitality Fund Holdings II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Transferor”):

1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, foreign estate, or foreign person (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1.45(b)(2)(iii) of the Code;
