(b) Within two (2) Business Days of Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of those items described in Sections 4(a) and 4(b), Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Holder an additional xxxxxxx money deposit in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “First $50,000 Deposit”) which shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except in the event that Seller willfully and intentionally fails to consummate the Closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement; $25,000.00 of the First $50,000 Deposit shall be made available to Purchaser to pay for those actual, out-of-pocket third party costs (in no event to exceed $25,000.00 individually or in the aggregate) incurred by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period for the matters set forth on Schedule 2(b) of this Agreement (excluding any legal fees in connection therewith) (each, a “Diligence Item”). During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall submit to Escrow Holder a written request for reimbursement for the applicable Diligence Item, together with invoices for the same (each, a “Reimbursement Request”). Purchaser shall simultaneously send a copy of such request, together with copies of the final invoices, to Seller. If Seller does not object to the applicable Reimbursement Request within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the same, then the Escrow Holder shall pay the amount set forth in the applicable Reimbursement Request to the applicable contractors or consultants. Purchaser agrees to cause such contractors or consultants to deliver paid receipts to Seller for any Diligence Item paid for hereunder within seven (7) Business Days after payment is made by the Escrow Holder. Purchaser further agrees that a copy of any Diligence Item paid for under this Section 2(b) shall be co-addressed to Seller, and such Diligence Items shall be delivered to Seller no later than five (5) days after termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) of this Agreement and shall include Seller as an additional addressee thereon, and that this obligation of Purchaser shall survive the Closing (and the delivery of the Deeds to Purchaser) or the termination of this Agreement.
(c) Provided that Seller has delivered to Purchaser those items described in Sections 4(h), (i), (j) and (k) on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, and
5
provided Purchaser has not, by said date, exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(d), then on or prior to the date which is thirty-five (35) days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Holder an additional xxxxxxx money deposit in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Second $50,000 Deposit”) which shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except in the event that Seller willfully and intentionally fails to consummate the Closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement; provided, however, that $25,000.00 of such Deposit shall be made available to Purchaser to pay for those actual, out-of-pocket third party costs (in no event to exceed $25,000.00 individually or in the aggregate) for Diligence Items in accordance with and pursuant to Section 2(b). Purchaser’s obligation to deposit the Second $50,000 Deposit shall be subject to a day-for-day extension for each day after the 30th day after the Effective Date that Seller fails to deliver those items described in Section 4(h), (i), (j) and (k) to Purchaser; provided, however, that the obligation shall not be extended past the end of the Due Diligence Period.
(d) If Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(d), then prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Holder a final xxxxxxx money deposit of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Final Deposit” and, together with the Initial Deposit, the First $50,000 Deposit, the Second $50,000 Deposit and the Final Deposit, the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Holder in one or more federally insured interest bearing investments approved by Purchaser and, if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, the Deposit and all interest earned thereon, less any amounts paid pursuant to a Reimbursement Request, shall be credited on Purchaser’s account against the Purchase Price.
(e) The balance of the Purchase Price, as well as all sums necessary to pay Purchaser’s costs, expenses and prorations as provided in this Agreement, after crediting the Deposit (less any amounts paid pursuant to a Reimbursement Request) and any interest earned thereon and any other prorations and other amounts to which Purchaser is entitled as a credit against the Purchase Price as provided in this Agreement, shall be deposited by Purchaser in Escrow on the Closing Date by wire transfer, in immediately available funds.
(f) The Purchase Price shall be allocated One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) to personal property and the remainder of the Purchase Price to real property and improvements. On or prior to Closing, the Purchase Price (less the $1,500,000.00 allocated to personal property) shall be allocated between the real property by Sellers.
3. Operating Permits and Licenses.
(a) Purchaser acknowledges that beer, wine and distilled spirits (“Alcoholic Beverages”) are served and sold on and from each of the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, the Grouse on the Green Restaurant and the Cordillera Mountain Club pursuant to one or more liquor licenses issued by the State of Colorado Department of Revenue Liquor Enforcement Division (the “LED”) to CHO (the “Liquor Licenses”). On or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall file completed applications pursuant to which Purchaser may obtain the transfer of the Liquor Licenses from CHO and, if necessary, an interim temporary liquor license to enable Purchaser to sell alcoholic beverages at the places at the Property where such beverages are currently sold (the “Temporary Liquor License”), and
6

(g) Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Purchaser’s Closing Documents, Purchaser shall not be responsible for any liabilities or obligations arising from or in respect of the Property which exist on or as of the Closing Date or otherwise assume any liability for or in respect of any of the Retained Liabilities.

Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Statement, Sellers may provide Purchaser a written notice indicating that it disagrees with any item on the proposed Final Statement. If
20
Sellers do not provide such notice within such thirty (30) day period, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted the proposed Final Statement.

If the parties do not reach an agreement regarding the Final Statement within thirty (30) days after Sellers provide such notice of disagreement, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration with a single arbitrator pursuant to the procedures described in Exhibit “R.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 2006 real property tax bills for the Property are not issued on or prior to the date which is ninety (90) days after the Closing, then Sellers and Purchaser shall re-prorate the real property taxes within twenty (20) days after receipt of the 2006 real property tax bills based upon the actual taxes set forth therein.

If at any time after the Records Hold Period, Purchaser desires to dispose of Sellers’ Property-Related Files and Records, Purchaser must first provide Sellers prior written notice (the “Records Disposal Notice”). Sellers shall have a period of 30 days after receipt of the Records Disposal Notice to enter the Property (or such other location that such records are then stored) and remove or copy those of Sellers’ Property-Related Files and Records that Sellers desire to retain. Purchaser agrees (A) to include the covenants of this Section pertaining to Sellers’ Property-Related Files and Records in any management contract for the Property (and to bind the manager thereunder to such covenants), and (B) to bind any future purchaser of the Property to the covenants of this Section pertaining to Sellers’ Property-Related Files and Records.

included on such list. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless from and against any claims, losses or liabilities that Sellers may suffer, sustain or incur with respect to items claimed to have been in safety deposit boxes and included in such list.
(f) Except for normal wear and tear and inventory changes resulting from and consistent with ordinary operations, the physical condition of the Property shall be substantially the same on the Closing Date as on the expiration of Due Diligence Period.
16. Employees; Manager.
(a) Sellers represent that they have no employees and therefore, no collective bargaining agreement covering any of Sellers’ employees is presently in effect or being negotiated nor will any collective bargaining agreement be in effect or being negotiated on or as of the Closing Date.
(b) To the extent included as part of the Purchaser Credit, Purchaser agrees, from and after the Closing Date, to be responsible for, and to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from, all costs and expenses of accrued and unpaid vacation and sick leave for all of Seller’s employees, including payroll taxes due in connection therewith. The covenants and agreements contained in this Section 16(b) are not intended and shall not confer any benefit or right on any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement. Seller shall be and remain solely responsible for payment of any other payroll and employee benefits accrued in connection with its employees for any period prior to the Closing Date (to the extent not credited to Purchaser at the Closing) and shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless therefrom.
(c) Purchaser acknowledges that the Property is presently managed by Rockresorts International, LLC (the “Manager”) in accordance with that certain Hotel Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) dated May 1, 2005. Purchaser and Sellers shall use reasonable good faith efforts to obtain Manager’s written consent to the Management Agreement Assignment and an acknowledgement that Purchaser is a “Qualified Transferee” as such term is defined the Management Agreement (the “Manager Consent”) on or prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period. If Manager provides the Manager Consent, the Purchaser shall assume the Management Agreement and shall deliver the Management Agreement Assignment at Closing. If Manager fails to provide the Manager Consent by the end of the Due Diligence Period, Sellers shall arrange to terminate the Management Agreement as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the payment of any termination fee which may be due Manager under the Management Agreement and shall deliver at Closing such other documents to evidence its obligation to pay any such termination fee as Sellers may reasonably require. Sellers shall copy Purchaser on any termination notice sent to Manager. Purchaser’s obligation to pay any such termination fee shall survive the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Closing occurs, Purchaser will offer, or will cause any management company it retains to manage the Property to offer, employment to so many of Manager’s employees employed at the Property as are necessary so that Manager’s failure to give notice pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act (“WARN”) will not result in a finding of WARN liability in favor of any Property employee and against Manager by any court with jurisdiction to determine such liability, and Purchaser
31
shall otherwise comply with the WARN Act provisions set forth in Section 4.4(x) of the Management Agreement. It shall be within the sole discretion of Purchaser or such management company, as the case may be, to determine which employees will be offered employment and the terms and conditions of the employment offered. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers (and their partners, employees and affiliates) against any and all losses, liabilities, claims and damages arising out of Purchaser’s failure to comply with this Section and with WARN.
17. Indemnification.
(a) Sellers hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, claim liability or expense (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Purchaser as a result of Seller’s failure to pay any accounts payable or any sales, use or occupancy taxes due in connection with the rental of rooms, the sale of goods or the performance of services prior to the Closing Date, or arising out of any event occurring on or before the Closing Date, or any liability or obligation respecting the Property existing as of the Closing Date and not assumed by Purchaser hereunder, except to the extent Purchaser has received a credit therefor against the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Purchaser hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, claim, liability or expense (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Sellers arising out of any events relating to the period following the Closing Date or any liability or obligation assumed by Purchaser hereunder or in any agreement executed and/or delivered at the Closing, or resulting from Purchaser’s failure to pay any item for which it received a credit against the Purchase Price under this Agreement.
(c) The representation and warranties used by Sellers contained in this Agreement and/or is any Exhibit to this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date. Any claim made by Purchaser from and after said nine (9) month period, regardless of when said claim may come, shall be null and void.
18. Escrow.
(a) Escrow Holder; Instructions. Within three (3) Business Days after their respective execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Sellers each shall deposit a counterpart original of this Agreement executed by such party (or either of them shall deposit a counterpart executed by both Purchaser and Sellers) and any additional escrow instructions as provided in Section 6(a) with Escrow Holder. Promptly upon receipt of such originally executed counterparts, Escrow Holder shall notify Purchaser and Sellers, in writing, of the date on which Escrow is opened. In addition, Purchaser and Sellers agree to execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable and customary supplemental escrow instructions of Escrow Holder or other instruments as may reasonably and necessarily be required by Escrow Holder in order to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any such supplemental instructions shall not conflict with, amend or supersede any portions of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between such supplemental instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement
32
shall govern and control in all respects to the exclusion of any inconsistent or conflicting provisions set forth in the reasonable and customary supplemental escrow instructions of Escrow Holder. This Agreement, together with such further instructions, if any, as the parties shall provide to Escrow Holder by written agreement, shall constitute the escrow instructions.
(b) Deposits into Escrow.
(i) Sellers shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Escrow, in time to permit the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby on the Closing, the items described in Section 9 hereof. Escrow Holder is hereby authorized to use the foregoing documents and instruments to close the Escrow only if and when: (i) Escrow Holder holds for the account of Sellers all sums to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers through Escrow at the Closing; and (ii) Title Company can and will issue the Title Policy concurrently with the Closing.
(ii) Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Escrow, in time to permit the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby on the Closing:
(1) The Purchase Price (including the Deposit) as set forth in and adjusted pursuant to Section 2.
(2) The additional amount, if any, which Escrow Holder estimates to be necessary to pay Purchaser’s share under this Agreement of the closing costs, expenses and prorations of this transaction; and
(3) Purchaser’s Closing Documents set forth in Section 11.
Escrow Holder is hereby authorized to use said funds, instruments and documents to close the Escrow only if and when: (i) Escrow Holder holds for Purchaser the Deed and (ii) Title Company can and will issue the Title Policy concurrently with the Closing.
(c) Close of Escrow. Provided that Escrow Holder shall not have received written notice from Purchaser or Sellers of the failure of any condition to the Closing or of the termination of the escrow, only if and when Purchaser and Sellers have deposited into the Escrow the matters required by this Agreement and Title Company can and will issue the Title Policy concurrently with the Closing, Escrow Holder shall:
(i) Deliver to Purchaser the Deeds by causing it to be recorded in the Official Records of Eagle County, State of Colorado;
(ii) Deliver to Sellers the Purchase Price, less (x) all amounts to be paid by Sellers pursuant to Section 7 and (y) Sellers’ share of amounts to be prorated by Escrow Holder under Section 12.
33
(iv) Deliver to Purchaser any funds deposited by Purchaser, and any interest earned thereon, in excess of the amount required to be paid by Purchaser hereunder.
(v) Cause the Title Policy to be issued to Purchaser by Title Company.
19. Loss by Fire, Other Casualty or Condemnation.
(a) In the event that, prior to the Closing, any material part of the Property is destroyed or materially damaged (as defined in Section 19(e) below), Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such damage or destruction, either (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers and Escrow Holder, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that (x) subject to Seller’s receipt of copies of any Diligence Items paid for through a Reimbursement Request, the Deposit (less any payments made pursuant to a Reimbursement Request) and any interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser; (y) any money other than the documents in escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same; (z) Purchaser and Sellers each shall be responsible for one-half of any title or escrow cancellation fee; and (aa) Purchaser shall remain obligated to observe the confidentiality provisions of Section 4(f) and any other provisions which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (ii) to accept the Property in its then condition and to proceed with the Closing with an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible for the applicable insurance coverage, in which case Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers’ rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Sellers shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
(b) In the event that, prior to the Closing, there is any non-material damage to the Property, or any part thereof, Sellers shall elect either (i) to repair or replace such damage prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall proceed with the Closing following completion of such repair or replacement, or (ii) to proceed to Closing without repair or replacement of the damage, in which case the Purchase Price shall be reduced by (x) the amount of any deductible under any insurance policy covering such damage or destruction and, if applicable, the amount of any such repair or replacement which is uninsured, and Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers’ rights to any insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that any cost or expense incurred by Sellers in connection with repairing or replacing such damage shall not be included in any closing or post-closing proration or adjustment of the Purchase Price or otherwise credited to Sellers’ benefit in connection with this transaction. In the event Sellers repair the damage and proceeds to Closing, Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Sellers following closing in connection with any insurance claim made by Sellers. If Sellers elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Sellers shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such proceeds without Purchaser’s prior written consent. For purposes of completing any repairs or replacements under this Subsection (b), Sellers may extend the Closing for a reasonable time to allow such repairs or replacements to be made by Sellers.
(c) In the event that prior to the Closing, all or any material portion (as defined in Section 19(e) below) of the Property is subject to a taking or a threatened taking by public
34
authority, Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by giving notice to Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice of such taking, either (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers and Escrow Holder, in which case neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that (x) subject to Seller’s receipt of copies of any Diligence Items paid for through a Reimbursement Request, the Deposit (less any payments made pursuant to a Reimbursement Request) and any interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser; (y) any money other than the documents in escrow shall be returned to the party depositing the same; (z) Purchaser and Sellers each shall be responsible for one-half of any title or escrow cancellation fee; and (aa) Purchaser shall remain obligated to observe the confidentiality provisions of Section 4(f) and any other provisions which expressly survive termination, or (ii) to accept the Property in its then condition and to proceed with the Closing without an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers’ rights to any condemnation award payable by reason of such taking. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (ii) above, Sellers shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
(d) In the event that prior to the Closing, any non-material portion of the Property is subject to a taking or a threatened taking by public authority, Purchaser shall accept the Property in its then condition and proceed with the Closing without an abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an assignment of all of Sellers’ rights to any condemnation award payable by reason of such taking. In the event of any such non-material taking, Sellers shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
(e) For purposes of this Section 19, damage to the Property or a taking of a portion thereof shall be deemed to involve a material portion thereof if the estimated cost of restoration or repair of such damage or the amount of the condemnation award with respect of such taking, reasonably estimated by Purchaser, shall exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00), or, as to a taking only, if the taking materially and adversely affects Purchaser’s ability to operate the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera as a hotel or if the taking reduces the number of additional lodge/residential units and/or square footage that can be developed on the Lodge and Spa Real Property or the Village Center Real Property.
(f) Sellers agree to give Purchaser written notice of any taking, threatened taking, damage or destruction of the Property promptly after learning of the same. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the Closing.
20. Default.
(a) Purchaser’s Default. In the event the sale and purchase of the Property is not consummated because of default by Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, as specified in a written notice thereof to Purchaser from Sellers detailing the basis for such default, Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be to retain the Deposit, as full liquidated damages, and thereafter the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder whatsoever, except for such rights or obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination of this Agreement.
35
IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT, WITHOUT RESALE, SELLERS’ DAMAGES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE DEPOSIT CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE FORECAST THEREOF AND IS INTENDED NOT AS A PENALTY, BUT AS FULL LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SELLERS AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER, IT SHALL NOT INITIATE ANY PROCEEDING TO RECOVER DAMAGES FROM PURCHASER IN EXCESS OF THE DEPOSIT, AND PURCHASER SHALL NOT INITIATE ANY PROCEEDING CHALLENGING SELLERS’ RIGHT TO RETAIN THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

(b) Seller’s Default. In the event Sellers, or any of them, willfully and intentionally fail to consummate the Closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the same remains uncured for more than five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof, then Purchaser may:
(i) terminate this Agreement, receive reimbursement from Sellers for its actual out-of-pocket expenses (not to exceed $75,000.00) incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (less any amounts paid pursuant to a Reimbursement Request), whereupon the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for such rights and obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination hereof; or
(ii) bring an action for specific performance of this Agreement and seek to recover Purchaser’s Damages in the amount allowed by the laws of the State of Colorado, except that any recovery for breach of warranty under Section 13 hereof or right of indemnification under Section 17 hereof shall not exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00).
Neither this provision for Purchaser’s remedies nor any other provision contained in this Agreement prevents Purchaser from enforcing Purchaser’s right to indemnification as provided elsewhere in this Agreement or limits Purchaser’s recovery from Seller, or Purchaser’s express remedies against Seller, under any such indemnity or for a breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.
21. Waiver of Performance. Either party may waive the satisfaction or performance of any conditions or agreements in the Agreement which have been inserted for its own and exclusive benefit, so long as the waiver is in writing (unless this Agreement provided for a non-written waiver) and specifies the waived condition or agreement and is delivered to the other party hereto and to the Escrow Holder.
22. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not be used for limiting or interpreting the meaning of any paragraph.
23. Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective upon actual receipt whether delivered by personal delivery, legible facsimile or recognized overnight

(b) Seller’s Default. In the event Sellers, or any of them, willfully and intentionally fail to consummate the Closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the same remains uncured for more than five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof, then Purchaser may:
(i) terminate this Agreement, receive reimbursement from Sellers for its actual out-of-pocket expenses (not to exceed $75,000.00) incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (less any amounts paid pursuant to a Reimbursement Request), whereupon the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for such rights and obligations that, by the express terms hereof, survive any termination hereof; or

Neither this provision for Purchaser’s remedies nor any other provision contained in this Agreement prevents Purchaser from enforcing Purchaser’s right to indemnification as provided elsewhere in this Agreement or limits Purchaser’s recovery from Seller, or Purchaser’s express remedies against Seller, under any such indemnity or for a breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.
21. Waiver of Performance. Either party may waive the satisfaction or performance of any conditions or agreements in the Agreement which have been inserted for its own and exclusive benefit, so long as the waiver is in writing (unless this Agreement provided for a non-written waiver) and specifies the waived condition or agreement and is delivered to the other party hereto and to the Escrow Holder.

24. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement signed by both of the parties hereto.
25. Time of the Essence. Time and each of the terms, covenants, conditions and contingencies of this Agreement are hereby expressly made of the essence.
26. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and all such executed counterparts shall constitute one agreement, binding on all of the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all of the parties hereto are not signatories to the original or to the same counterpart.
27. Governing Law. The validity, construction and operational effect of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.
28. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action between the parties hereto seeking the enforcement of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or in connection with the Property, the prevailing party in such action shall be awarded, in addition to damages, injunctive or other relief, its reasonable costs and expenses, not limited to taxable costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and expenses.
29. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes any and all oral or written agreements between the parties hereto regarding the Property which are prior in time to this Agreement, other than the Transaction Documents. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall be bound by any prior understanding, agreement, promise, representation or stipulation, express or implied, not specified herein.
30. Further Assurance. Purchaser and Sellers agree to execute all documents and instruments reasonably required in order to consummate the purchase and sale herein contemplated.
31. Assignment.
(a) Purchaser may not assign its rights under this Agreement except to an entity in which the Purchaser or its principals holds an interest or for which Purchaser or its principals are the Manager, without first obtaining Sellers’ written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Sellers’ sole discretion. Under no circumstances shall Purchaser have the right to assign this Agreement to any person or entity owned or controlled by an employee benefit plan if Sellers’ sale of the property to such person or entity would, in the reasonable opinion of Sellers’ ERISA advisor, create or otherwise cause a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA. In the event Purchaser assigns this Agreement or transfers any ownership interest in Purchaser, and such assignment or transfer would make the consummation of the transaction hereunder a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA and necessitate the termination of this Agreement then, notwithstanding any contrary provision which may be contained herein, Sellers shall have the right to pursue any remedy available at law or in equity as a result of such assignment or transfer. Except as provided in the first sentence of this Section 31, any transfer, directly or indirectly, of stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Purchaser amounting to more than fifty percent (50%) ownership interest in Purchaser without Sellers’ written approval, which approval
38
may be given or withheld in Sellers’ sole discretion, shall constitute a default by Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
32. Possession. Sellers shall deliver possession of the Property to Purchaser as of 12:01 a.m. on the calendar day immediately following the Closing Date, including all keys in Sellers’ possession, all books and records relating to the Property, and originals of documents delivered hereunder, such possession being subject only to the rights of the tenant under the Grouse on the Green Lease and guests in possession in the ordinary course of business.
33. Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
34. Additional Instructions to Escrow Holder. If Escrow Holder is the prevailing party in any action or proceeding between Escrow Holder and some or all of the parties to this Agreement, Escrow Holder shall be entitled to all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees expended or incurred in connection therewith. If Escrow Holder is required to respond to any legal summons or proceedings not involving a breach or default upon Escrow Holder’s part, the parties to this Agreement jointly and severally agree to pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees expended or incurred by Escrow Holder, and the parties hereto further agree to indemnify Escrow Holder against all loss and expense in said action or proceeding. In the event costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees are reimbursed to Escrow Holder, Purchaser and Sellers agree that the prevailing party between Purchaser and Sellers shall be awarded reimbursement of such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees paid to Escrow Holder hereunder.
35. Broker’s Fees and Commissions. Sellers represent and warrant that they have retained CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Inc. (“CBRE”) as its broker for this Property, and Sellers are responsible for the commission to CBRE pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Broker Engagement Agreement between Sellers and CBRE. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, Purchaser and Sellers each represent and warrant to the other than they have not entered into any agreement or taken any action which will result in any obligation to pay any brokerage, finder’s fee or similar commission in connection with the purchase and sale of the Property as herein contemplated. Each of Sellers and Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims for brokerage commissions and fees or finder’s fees payable in connection with the sale of the Property or the transactions covered and contemplated by this Agreement resulting from the act or omission of such indemnifying party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer any third party benefit on any broker or any other person not a party hereto with respect to this Agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any brokers, agents or others in connection with the transaction contemplated herein which would give rise to any claim for a sales commission, finder’s fee, or fee or commission of a similar kind or nature.
36. Construction of Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. When required by the context, whenever the singular number is used in this
39
Agreement, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and vice versa. As used in this Agreement, the term “Sellers” shall include the respective successors and assigns of each of Sellers, and the term “Purchaser” shall include the successors and permitted assigns of Purchaser. The term “Business Day” shall mean a day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, or (ii) any day on which banking and savings and loan institutions in New York, Colorado, Georgia or Utah are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.
37. Announcements. Sellers and Purchaser shall consult with each other with regard to all press releases and other announcements issued at or prior to the Closing concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as may be required by applicable laws or the applicable rules and regulations of any governmental agency or stock exchange, neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall issue any such press release or other such publicity prior to the Closing without the prior consent of the other party.
38. Limitation of Liability. Seller shall have no liability for the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, indemnity or other obligation that survives the Closing hereunder or set forth in any of the documents attached as Exhibits hereto and delivered by the parties at Closing (collectively, “Seller’s Post-Closing Liabilities”) unless and until the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket damages and expenses directly resulting from such breaches exceeds Fifty Thousand and No/100 ($50,000.00) in the aggregate (the “Threshold”), whereupon all such claims may be asserted. Furthermore, the aggregate of Seller’s Post-Closing Liabilities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any claims arising under the indemnification provisions of Section 17 or damages recovered due to a default of Seller pursuant to Section 20 hereof, shall not exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 ($750,000.00).
39. No Recordation. Sellers and Purchaser each agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice hereof shall be recorded, and, except to the extent required in order for Purchaser to maintain or pursue a suit for specific performance in accordance with and pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof, and (b) to indemnify Sellers against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Sellers by reason of the filing by Purchaser of such notice of pendency or other instrument.
40. Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act. This Agreement is subject to the condition that compliance with the reporting requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “Act”) is either (i) not required, or (ii) required, and the necessary filing is completed with no objections being received pursuant to the Act. If the parties, or either of them, shall determine that the transaction herein is subject to the reporting requirements of the Act, then each party shall use its best efforts to file expeditiously a completed notification report under the Act and take all other actions necessary or advisable to comply with the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. If such requirements or such other matter as may be required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction under the Act shall have been complied with by Purchaser, but shall have not been fulfilled or satisfied by Sellers to permit closing by the Closing Date, Sellers shall be deemed to be in default hereunder.
40
41. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall not be binding in any way upon Seller unless and until (a) Seller shall execute and deliver the same to Purchaser, (b) each stage of Seller’s investment approval process has approved this transaction, and (c) Seller’s Investment Committee has thereafter given its written approval thereof. If Seller has not given Purchaser written notice (the “Approval Notice”) of such approvals on or before five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date (the “Approval Deadline”), or if prior to the Approval Deadline Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that this Agreement has been disapproved by the persons or entities referred to in clauses (b) or (c) of the preceding sentence, then this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit. It is understood and agreed that at each stage of Seller’s investment approval process, Seller or its investment advisor, shall each have the right, in its unfettered discretion, to disapprove the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, without obligation thereafter to proceed to the next stage of Seller’s investment approval process. Seller’s approval of this Agreement shall be evidenced only by both Seller’s execution of this Agreement and Seller’s sending of the Approval Notice to Purchaser prior to the Approval Deadline and, accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser cannot and will not rely upon any other statement or action of Seller or its representatives as evidence of Seller’s approval of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof.

EXHIBIT R
Arbitration Procedures
Within twenty (20) days after either party gives notice of election of arbitration pursuant to either Sections 8(b)(v) or 12(i) of the Agreement, the parties shall elect an arbitrator meeting the qualifications stated below. Each of the parties hereto shall bear one-half (1¤2) the cost of appointing the arbitrator and of the arbitrator’s fee. If the parties are unable to select an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected by the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration Association from the commercial arbitration panel. The arbitrator shall have his or her principal office in the Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
The arbitrator shall conduct his own investigation of the subject matter and the amounts in dispute and shall make his own determination of the correct amounts to be paid under the Agreement and the party to whom the amounts should be paid (the “Arbitrator’s Determination”), whether (a) the determination of the existence and amount of any Adverse Costs under Section 8(b) or (b) the prorations to be made pursuant to the Agreement and the correct amounts to be included in the Final Statement and the final amount due to either Purchaser or Sellers under Section 12 and the party to whom the payment is to be made. The arbitrator shall be instructed not to advise either party of the Arbitrator’s Determination except as follows: When the arbitrator has made his determination, he shall so advise Purchaser and Sellers and shall establish a date, at least five (5) days after the giving of notice by the arbitrator to Purchaser and Sellers, on which he shall disclose the Arbitrator’s Determination. Such meeting shall take place in the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration Association unless otherwise agreed by the parties. After having initialed a paper on which the Arbitrator’s Determination and the party to whom the payment is to be made is set forth, the arbitrator shall place the paper in a sealed envelope. Purchaser and Sellers shall each set forth their determination of the amount of Adverse Costs or the prorations, as the case may be, and the party to whom the payment is to be made on a paper (“Purchaser’s Determination” and “Sellers’ Determination”), initial the same and place them in separate sealed envelopes. Each of the three envelopes shall be marked with the name of the party whose determination is inside the envelope.
In the presence of the arbitrator, the envelopes containing the Purchaser’s Determination and the Sellers’ Determination shall be opened and examined. If the difference between the two determinations is ten percent (10%) or less of the amount set forth in the determination showing the largest payment to either Purchaser or Sellers, the average of the two determinations shall be the determination of the parties of the amount in question and the party to be paid (“Final Determination”), the envelope containing the Arbitrator’s Determination shall be destroyed and the arbitrator shall be instructed not to disclose his determination. (If one party’s determination for a payment to Purchaser and the other party’s determination provides for a payment to Sellers, the difference shall be the sum of the two amounts.) If the paper in either party’s envelope is blank, or does not set forth a determination or state to whom the payment is to be made, the determination of the other party shall prevail and be treated as the Final Determination. If the difference between the two determinations is more than ten percent (10%) of the amount set
forth in the determination showing the largest payment to either Purchaser or Sellers, the envelope containing the arbitrator’s determination shall be opened. If the amount determined by the arbitrator is the average of the amounts proposed by Purchaser and Sellers, the Arbitrator’s Determination of shall be the Final Determination. If such is not the case, the Final Determination shall be the amount proposed by either Purchaser or Sellers which is closest to the Arbitrator’s Determination (taking into account the party to whom the payment is to be made).
The arbitrator shall have at least ten (10) years of current experience in commercial arbitrations in the State of Colorado, shall have at least five (5) years of experience in the hospitality industry in Colorado and shall not have had a legal, business, financial, professional or personal relationship with either party.
