to review the Property prior to the Effective Date. Buyer will rely entirely
upon such review and the advice of Buyer's consultants in Buyer's determination
to purchase the Property. Buyer, by its execution of this Agreement,

(f)
Except as

information furnished by Seller or its agents to Buyer or Buyer's agents in
connection with the transaction contemplated hereby shall be governed by that
letter agreement dated October 1, 2004 between Bradford Holdings, Inc. and
Buyer (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The failure of Buyer to comply with its
obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement or this Section 5.3 shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and, in such case, the Seller

pursue any remedy at law or equity against the Buyer, including injunctive
relief provided for in the Confidentiality Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality

any information relating to this transaction required to be reported to any
governmental entity, in connection with tax reporting information filed by the
Buyer with the governmental entity or as may be required by any other

principal or shareholder of Seller’s parent; (ii) Buyer
may disclose, and may cause its ultimate parent to, disclose the name of the

with respect to the transaction (but may identify the Seller in any press
release as a Holiday Inn Express franchisee); (iii) Buyer
shall not, and shall cause its ultimate parent not to, file a copy of this

respect to the Hotel (except for agreements and contracts entered in the normal
course of operating the Hotel and cancellable on thirty (30) days' notice),
without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure of Buyer to deliver written notice
of approval or disapproval of any such proposed agreement within three (3)
Business Days of delivery of such agreement(s) to Buyer shall be deemed to be
Buyer's approval thereof.

hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents
(collectively, “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all
