paid over to the party entitled to the receipt of the Deposit under the terms of this Agreement.
2.3 Study Period.
(a) The Purchaser shall have, with respect to each Property, the right during the Study Period
(and thereafter if the Purchaser notifies the Sellers that the Purchaser has elected to proceed to
Closing in the manner described below) upon not less than one (1) business day prior notice to the
applicable Seller, to enter upon the Real Property and to perform, at the Purchaser’s expense,
such economic, surveying, engineering, environmental, topographic and marketing tests, studies and
investigations as the Purchaser may deem appropriate. If such tests, studies and investigations
warrant, in the Purchaser’s sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, the purchase of the
Property for the purposes contemplated by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser may elect to proceed to
Closing and shall so notify the Sellers prior to the expiration of the Study Period. If for any
reason the Purchaser does not so notify the Sellers of its determination to proceed to Closing
prior to the expiration of the Study Period, or if the Purchaser notifies the Sellers, in writing,
prior to the expiration of the Study Period that it has determined not to proceed to Closing, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser and upon
return of the Deposit, the Purchaser shall be released from any further liability or obligation
under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) During the Study Period, the Sellers shall make available to the Purchaser, its agents,
auditors, engineers, attorneys and other designees, for inspection copies of all existing
architectural and engineering studies, surveys, title insurance policies, zoning and site plan
materials, environmental audits and other related materials or information, if any, relating to the
Properties which are in, or come into, the Sellers’ possession or control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sellers shall not be obligated to deliver to the Purchaser any materials of a
proprietary nature. Purchaser acknowledges that, except as otherwise herein provided, any such
materials delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to this provision shall be without warranty,
representation or recourse.
(c) The Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Sellers against any loss,
damage or claim arising from entry upon the Real Property by the Purchaser or any agents,
contractors or employees of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands and accepts that any on-site
inspections of the Real Property shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by the applicable
Seller and the Purchaser after not less than one (1) business day prior notice to such Seller and
shall be conducted so as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation of the Property and the
use of the Property by the tenants and the guests of the Hotel. The Sellers shall have the right
to have a representative present during any such inspections. If the Purchaser desires to do any
invasive testing at the Real Property, the Purchaser shall do so only after
7
obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which approval may be subject to reasonable
terms and conditions as may be proposed by the Seller. The Purchaser shall not permit any liens to
attach to the Property by reason of such inspections. The Purchaser shall (i) restore the
Property, at its own expense, to substantially the same condition which existed prior to any
inspections or other activities of the Purchaser thereon; and (ii) be responsible for and pay any
and all liens by contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, or laborers performing the inspections
or any work for the Purchaser or the Purchaser Parties on or related to the Property. The terms of
this Section 2.3(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(d) During the Study Period, the Purchaser, at its expense, shall cause an examination of
title to the Properties to be made, and, prior to the expiration of the Study Period (as may be
extended pursuant to Section 2.3(e), but not Section 2.3(f)), shall notify the
Sellers of any defects in title shown by such examination that the Purchaser is unwilling to
accept. Within ten (10) days after such notification, the Sellers shall notify the Purchaser
whether the Sellers are willing to cure such defects. If the Sellers are willing to cure such
defects, the Sellers shall act promptly and diligently to cure such defects at its expense. If
such defects consist of deeds of trust, mechanics’ liens, tax liens or other liens or charges in a
fixed sum or capable of computation as a fixed sum, the Sellers shall pay and discharge (and the
Title Company is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing) such defects at Closing. If the
Sellers are unwilling or unable to cure any other such defects by Closing, the Purchaser shall
elect (1) to waive such defects and proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Purchase Price
or (2) to terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit. The Sellers shall
not, after the date of this Agreement, subject the Properties to any liens, encumbrances,
covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes or
take any other action which may affect or modify the status of title without the Purchaser’s prior
written consent. All title matters revealed by the Purchaser’s title examination and not objected
to by the Purchaser as provided above shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. If Purchaser
shall fail to examine title and notify the Seller of any such title objections by the end of the
Study Period, all such title exceptions (other than those rendering title unmarketable and those
that are to be paid at Closing as provided above) shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions.
(e) If, despite Purchaser’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and review all third
party reports during the Study Period, Purchaser shall not have received any such reports,
Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Study Period for all of the Hotels for seven (7) days
solely in order to obtain and review the third party reports Purchaser did not receive during the
Study Period.
(f) If, despite Purchaser’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each lender’s approval
to a Loan Assumption during the Study Period, Purchaser shall not have received any Lender’s
approval to a Loan Assumption, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Study Period for the
Courtyard and Springhill Suites only for forty-five (45) days solely in order to attempt to obtain
such lender’s approval of a Loan Assumption.
2.4 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to the Sellers in the
following manner:
8
(a) The Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to one
quarter (1/4) of the Deposit, plus interest accrued thereon, at the Closing for each of the
Properties.
(b) The Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the
outstanding principal balance of the Assumed Loans on the Closing Date for the Courtyard and
Springhill Suites. For avoidance of doubt, all reserve or escrow accounts held by the applicable
Seller under the Assumed Loan are not being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser as part of the
assumption of the Assumed Loans. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees any reserve accounts required to
be transferred as part of the assumption of an Assumed Loan will be reimbursed by Purchaser to the
applicable Seller at Closing.
(c) The Purchaser shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price, as adjusted in the manner
specified in Article 6, in cash or by confirmed wire transfer of immediately available
federal funds to the account of the Title Company, to be disbursed to the Sellers or other
applicable parties at Closing. Such wire transfer shall be sent by the Purchaser to the Title
Company for the account of the Seller no later than 2:01 p.m., Houston, Texas, time on the Closing
Date.

Suites Hotels, Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Loans. With respect to Purchaser’s assumption of
Assumed Loans, (a) not later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall
use reasonable commercial efforts to commence its efforts to process the assumption of the Assumed
Loans by Purchaser (“Loan Assumption”), including but not limited to providing all
reasonable information concerning the transfer of the Property to the applicable lender
(“Assumption Application”), (b) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate and use all reasonable
and diligent efforts to cause the applicable lender (or its loan servicer) to consent to the Loan
Assumption and to cause the applicable Seller and all applicable guarantors, if any, to be released
from any and all liability under the Assumed Loans following the Closing Date; provided, however,
Seller’s cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to Seller, (c) for purposes of determining the
amount of the Assumed Loans to be credited toward the Purchase Price, the aggregate of the
outstanding principal balance of the Assumed Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest and late
charges or other similar fees, if any, as of the Closing Date (but expressly excluding the
Assumption Fee (defined below) shall be aggregated and determined and shall be credited to the
Purchase Price and (d) Purchaser shall be exclusively liable for and shall pay as the same are
incurred (i) the assumption fees and/or costs required by the Lender (or the loan servicer), and
(ii) all fees, expenses and/or costs required by the lender to process the Assumption Application
and the Loan Assumption (collectively, the “Assumption Fee”).

shall occur as described above on or before the date that is seven (7) days following the

pursuant to Section 2.3(e) (the “Residence Inn Outside Closing Date”). Possession
of the Property with respect to the applicable Hotel shall be delivered to the Purchaser at the

(b) Upon the last to occur of the Closings for the Hampton Inn, Courtyard and Springhill
Suites Hotels, the Seller shall deposit with the Title Company the sum of Four Million and No/100
Dollars ($4,000,000.00) (the “Breakage Deposit”). In the event that Closing for the
Residence Inn Hotel occurs on or before the Residence Inn Outside Closing Date, the Title Company
shall release the Residence Inn Breakage Deposit, plus interest accrued thereon to the Seller at
the Closing of the Residence Inn Hotel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each have the right to refuse to Close on the purchase
and sale of the Residence Inn Hotel on or before the Residence Inn Outside Closing Date at its sole
discretion by providing the other with notice of such refusal. In the event that the Closing for
the Residence Inn Hotel does not occur on or prior to the Residence Inn Outside Closing Date,
whether because either party has notified the other of its intention to refuse to Close on the
purchase and sale of the Residence Inn Hotel on or before the Residence Inn Outside Closing Date or
for any other reason (in any case, a “Residence Inn Termination”), the Title Company shall
release to the Purchaser (i) the Breakage Deposit, plus interest accrued thereon, which the
Purchaser and the Seller agree will be treated as a Purchase Price adjustment for federal income
tax purposes and will be allocated pro rata to reduce the allocable portions of the Purchase Price
for the Hotels the Purchaser has acquired under this Agreement and (ii) the remaining one quarter
(1/4) of the Deposit allocable to the Residence Inn Hotel, plus interest accrued thereon, and the
Seller and the Purchaser shall be released from any further liability or obligation under this
Agreement, except under Section 6.1(c) and those other provisions of this Agreement which expressly
survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) Contingent upon a Residence Inn Termination, the Seller hereby grants the Purchaser an
option (the “Residence Inn Purchase Option”) to purchase the Residence Inn Hotel on the
same terms and conditions of this Agreement (as it relates to the Residence Inn Hotel), except that
the purchase price for the Residence Inn Hotel shall mean Twenty-Three
22
Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($23,200,000) (the “Residence Inn Option
Price”) and no portion of the Deposit shall be credited against the Residence Inn Option Price;
provided that the Residence Inn Purchase Option shall be exercisable by the Purchaser only if the
Seller provides written notice to the Purchaser within one (1) year after the Residence Inn Outside
Closing Date that the debt secured directly and indirectly by the Residence Inn Hotel can be
satisfied for an amount equal to or less than the Residence Inn Option Price (the “Option
Trigger Notice”). Unless the Purchaser provides written notice (the “Option Exercise
Notice”) of its intention to exercise the Residence Inn Purchase Option within ten (10) days of
the Purchaser’s receipt of the Option Trigger Notice, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived
its right to exercise the Residence Inn Purchase Option. If the Purchaser does provide an Option
Exercise Notice to the Seller within ten (10) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of the Option Trigger
Notice, Closing for the Residence Inn Hotel shall occur on a date reasonably mutually agreed to by
the Purchaser and the Seller within Thirty (30) days after the Seller receives the Option Exercise
Notice. The Seller agrees to keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of the
Seller’s negotiations with its lenders regarding the debt secured directly and indirectly by the
Residence Inn Hotel during such one-year period and to promptly provide the Option Trigger Notice
to the Purchaser if the Seller reaches an agreement with its lenders that would permit it to do so.
