Buyer will use its best efforts to cause the conditions in Article VI to be satisfied; provided, however, that Buyer will not be required to make any material change to its business, dispose of any material asset, expend material funds (except as set forth in Section 10.11), incur any material burden or take actions that would result in a material adverse change in the benefits to Buyer of this Agreement and the contemplated transactions.
ARTICLE V
INSPECTION PERIOD
5.1 Inspection Period. Buyer shall have a due diligence period (the “Inspection Period”) beginning on the date this Agreement is executed by all parties and expiring one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter. In the event Buyer does not wish to close on the purchase of the Purchased Assets, Buyer will provide Seller with written notice before the expiration of the 120-day Inspection Period, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate and Sellers shall cause Chicago Title Insurance Company to refund the Deposit to the Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other with respect to this Agreement.

However, the Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing for two additional forty-five (45) day periods by paying an additional option fee of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per forty-five day extension period, which would not be credited to the Purchase Price. In the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement at any time after the 120 day study period (or any 45 day extension thereof), Sellers shall be entitled to retain the Deposit.
5.2 Inspection. (a) At any reasonable time and from time to time during the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have the right to fully inspect the Hotel and to satisfy itself

Sellers shall use their best efforts to assure that Buyer has access to the Hotel and Restaurant during normal business hours, and Sellers shall provide all available information concerning the Hotel that Buyer may reasonably request to assist Buyer in making such determinations.
(b) At any reasonable time and from time to time during the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have the right to fully examine all accounting ledgers, audit materials, bonds, operating reports, files and other materials relating to the financial condition and the operation of the Hotel as are available to Seller. Buyer shall bear the cost of all inspections referred to in this Paragraph. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any physical damage to the Hotel occurring by Buyer or Buyer’s agents during said inspections.
(c) Seller shall furnish to Buyer within ten (10) days of this Agreement being signed by both parties a copy of its title insurance policy, and all surveys, architectural plans and drawings, engineering reports, elevator reports, and any and all other reports relating to the roof, structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating or air-conditioning systems, and environmental reports.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the contemplated transactions, including all fees and expenses of its representatives.
10.12 Confidentiality. The Seller acknowledges that the matters relating to the REIT, the initial underwritten public offering of the REIT, this Agreement, and the other documents, terms, conditions and information related thereto (collectively, the “Information”) are confidential in nature. Therefore, each Seller covenants and agrees to keep the Information confidential and will not (except as required by applicable law, regulation or legal process, and only after compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.12), without the Buyer’s prior written consent, disclose any Information in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that the Information may be revealed only to Sellers’ owners, Seller’s key employees, legal counsel and financial advisors, each of whom shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Information and shall agree to act in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.12. In the event that a Seller or its key employees, legal counsel or financial advisors (collectively, the “Information Group”) are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Information, the applicable member of the Information Group will notify the Buyer promptly so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 10.12. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that the Buyer waives compliance with the terms of this Section 10.12, the applicable member of the Information Group may furnish only that portion of the Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information. Each Seller acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Buyer or the REIT against any actual or threatened breach of this Section 10.12, and, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available, each Seller agrees to the granting of injunctive relief in favor of the REIT and/or the Buyer without proof of actual damages. Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except to the extent that confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws. For purposes of
20
this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).
