If Purchaser fails to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to the Title Company within the time period specified above, Seller may, at its option, deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent terminating this Agreement and, if such termination is due to Purchaser’s failure to timely deposit the Second Deposit, the Xxxxxxx Money previously deposited (i.e., the Initial Deposit) shall be paid to Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations, or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement.

1.7 Delivery to Title Company. Upon mutual execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall deposit an executed copy of this Agreement with Escrow Agent and this Agreement shall (along with such supplementary instructions not inconsistent herewith as either party hereto may deliver to Title Company) serve as escrow instructions to Title Company for the consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby.

Purchaser shall have until the date that is ten (10) business days after delivery of both the Title Commitment and the Survey (the “Title Exam Deadline”), to review the Title Commitment and the Survey pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.

2.2 Survey. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller’s most current survey of the Property (the “Survey”). Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, update and recertify the Survey or obtain a new survey.

In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of objections to title or to matters shown on the Survey prior to the Title Exam Deadline, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objections. Within five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objections. Seller’s failure to respond within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be Seller’s election not to cure any such objections.

If Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any title objection; or if, having commenced attempts to cure any objection, Seller later notifies Purchaser that Seller will be unable to effect a cure thereof, Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days after such notice has been given, notify Seller in writing whether Purchaser shall elect to accept the conveyance under clause (i) or to terminate this Agreement under clause (ii). Purchaser’s failure to respond within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s election to accept the conveyance under clause (i) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, and whether or not objected to by Purchaser as set forth above, Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing, Seller shall cause the following (the “Monetary Exceptions”) to be removed from title or cause the Title Company to insure against the following: (a) pay in full and cause to be canceled and discharged or otherwise discharge or cause the Title Company to insure over, whether by bond or indemnity of the Title Company by Seller, as liens against the Property all mechanics’, materialmen’s and contractors’ liens which encumber the Property as a result of the actions of Seller or its agents or contractors, any and all judgment liens against Seller and other monetary liens, (b) pay in full and cause to be released all mortgages or other collateral financing interests against the Property caused by, through or under Seller, and (c) pay in full all past due ad valorem taxes and assessments constituting a lien against the Property.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Property shall be conveyed subject to the following matters, which shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions:

(a) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment as herein provided;

(b) liens, encumbrances or other items caused or created by Purchaser;

(c) local, state and federal laws, ordinances or governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property;

(f) items appearing of record or shown on the Survey and, in either case, not objected to by Purchaser or waived or deemed waived by Purchaser in accordance with Sections 2.3 or 2.5 hereof.

2.5 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Whether or not Purchaser shall have furnished to Seller any notice of title objections pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, but in all events prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title first raised by the Title Company or shown on Purchaser’s update to the Survey and disclosed to Purchaser. With respect to any objections set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same option to cure and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Purchaser pursuant to 2.3 above. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any such matters, the date for Closing shall be automatically extended by a reasonable additional time to effect such a cure, but in no event shall the extension exceed forty-five (45) days after the date for Closing set forth in Section 4.1 hereof.

Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site inspections of the Property shall be conducted upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Seller, which may be given by e-mail, and in the presence of Seller or its representative. Such physical inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property by Seller or its hotel guests nor shall Purchaser’s inspection damage the Property in any respect. Such physical inspection shall not be invasive in any respect unless Purchaser obtains Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that if Purchaser obtains a Phase I Environmental Impact Study report that recommends a Phase II Environmental Impact Study, Purchaser shall request Seller’s consent thereto which request shall include a copy of the Phase I report including such recommendation as well as a scope of work for any Phase II testing, Seller’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided however, Seller may deny or condition its consent upon such testing not violating the due care plan for the Property or impacting the remedial measures which are in place for the Property, including, without limitation, piercing the liner underneath the surface of the Land. All physical inspections shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations. Following each entry by Purchaser with respect to inspections and/or tests on the Property, Purchaser shall restore the Property to a condition which is as near as possible to its original condition as existed prior to any such inspections and/or tests, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in its due diligence but shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith. Purchaser shall not unreasonably disrupt Seller’s activities on the Property. Purchaser agrees to indemnify against and hold Seller harmless from any claim for liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or its agents, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, Purchaser’s indemnity hereunder shall not include any liabilities, losses, costs, damages or expenses to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, or the mere discovery of any pre-existing condition of the Property. All inspections shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Prior to Purchaser entering the Property to conduct the inspections and/or tests described above, Purchaser shall obtain and maintain, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the following insurance coverage, and shall cause each of its agents and contractors to obtain and maintain, and, upon request of Seller, shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the following insurance coverage: general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per occurrence, such policy to name Seller as an additional insured party, which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal liability or property damage caused by Purchaser or its agents, employees or contractors in connection with such inspections and/or tests.

3.2 Right of Termination. Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser determines (such determination to be made in Purchaser’s sole discretion and for any or no reason) that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser gives such notice of termination or fails to deliver an Acceptance Notice (defined below) on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser subject to the terms of this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.2. If Purchaser gives Seller written notice that Purchaser has elected to proceed with the transaction contemplated herein (an “Acceptance Notice”) on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2 and (subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof and except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement), shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall notify the Seller in Acceptance Notice of which Operating Agreements Purchaser elects not to assume under the assignment described in Section 4.2(c), below. Purchaser’s failure to so notify Seller shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser’s election to assume all Operating Agreements; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to terminate and Purchaser shall in all events be obligated to assume each Operating Agreement which cannot be terminated, or which can only be terminated upon payment of a penalty or fee. If Purchaser timely delivers written notice to Seller requesting that one or more Operating Agreements be terminated, Seller shall, cause such Operating Agreements to be terminated on or before Closing.

3.3 Franchise and Management. Purchaser covenants that within seven (7) days after the Effective Date it shall, at its sole cost and expense (excluding, however, any termination or liquidated damage amounts payable in connection with the termination of the Existing Franchise Agreement (defined below), which sums, if any, shall be payable by Seller), apply for and pursue the granting thereof with due diligence, a new franchise agreement for the operation of the Property from Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc. (“Franchisor”), to be effective should the Closing occur, in form and content acceptable to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion (“New Franchise Agreement”). Purchaser shall deliver to Seller written notice certifying that Purchaser is submitting, simultaneously with such notice, such application to Franchisor. Seller shall assist Purchaser with its efforts to obtain such New Franchise Agreement but shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses in connection therewith, except as described above.

3.4 Liquor License. Purchaser covenants that within ten (10) days after the Effective Date it shall, at its sole cost and expense, apply for and pursue the granting thereof with due diligence, the transfer of the Property’s liquor license from Seller to Purchaser, together with an application for a conditional license, or the issuance of a new liquor license to Purchaser from the State of Michigan. Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts in cooperating with Purchaser’s efforts in connection with such application provided that, such cooperation of Seller (i) shall not create any potential liability for Seller, and (ii) shall be at no material cost or expense to Seller. Seller’s cooperation will include, among other things, signing application forms and submitting to investigation by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller written notice certifying that Purchaser is submitting, simultaneously with such notice, its application for such liquor license to the State of Michigan. Purchaser agrees to pay all fees, charges, and related costs in connection with the transfer of the existing liquor license, securing a conditional license, or obtaining a new license (excluding any such costs which arise from Seller’s activities at the Property prior to Closing). Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly after: (i) obtaining a conditional liquor license from the State of Michigan or satisfying all conditions to obtaining a conditional liquor license, except for providing a copy of the deed to the State (an “Incomplete License”), or (ii) denial thereof by the State of Michigan.

Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by, or asserted against, Seller after the Closing which involves any matter relating to a past or present Employee or any Employee Liabilities to the extent concerning acts or omissions occurring on or subsequent to the Closing.

Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such inventory of baggage arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the Closing.

DEFAULT

6.1 Default by Purchaser. IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER SHALL, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH DEFAULT, RETAIN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE XXXXXXX MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO PURCHASER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT.

In the event that the Closing does not occur due to Seller’s default under this Agreement and provided that Purchaser is not then in default hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Xxxxxxx Money and, if Seller’s default is the result of Seller’s willful acts or omissions in contravention of acts necessary for the Closing to occur, reimbursement from Seller for the out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement, including the costs of Purchaser’s due diligence investigations and financing fees, in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (“Deal Costs”), which return and reimbursement shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all other liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder provided that such action is brought within sixty (60) days after such default. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and Deal Costs if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before the date that is sixty (60) following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred. The foregoing is not intended to limit Seller’s indemnity obligations under other sections hereof or obligation to reimburse attorneys’ fees under Section 10.22.

ARTICLE VII

RISK OF LOSS

7.1 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs.

If neither Seller nor Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

7.3 Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof, “major” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof occurring after the Effective Date such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or greater than Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000), and (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee (buyer) of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor (seller) 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 (buyer) that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by ___________________, a ___________________ (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

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

2. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations;

3. Seller’s U. S. employer identification number is _______________; and

4. Seller’s office address is:

c/o _________________________

____________________________

Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee (buyer) and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned declares that he has examined this certification and to the best of his knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and he further declares that he has the authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.

Exhibit G

PROCEDURE FOR CREDIT AND PRORATIONS

At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall prorate and adjust all items of income and expense and other amounts in accordance with this Exhibit G, and the net amount consequently owing to Seller or Purchaser shall be added to or subtracted from the proceeds of the Purchase Price payable to Seller at Closing. Beginning as close to the anticipated Closing Date as practicable, Seller shall, in consultation with Purchaser and with Purchaser’s reasonable cooperation, cause to be prepared a prorations and credit statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) which shall reflect all of the prorations, credits and other adjustments to the Purchase Price at Closing required under this Exhibit G or under any other provision of this Agreement. As soon as Purchaser and Seller have agreed upon the Preliminary Statement, they shall jointly deliver a mutually signed copy thereof to Escrow Agent. To the extent Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree by Closing on any item on the Preliminary Statement, a reasonable estimation of such item shall be used and such item shall be finally resolved on the Final Statement (defined below) pursuant to Section 13, below.

1. Proration of Taxes.
