(c) The Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Seller 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 Seller and the Purchaser after not less than one (1) business day prior notice to the Seller and shall be conducted so as not to interfere with the operation of the Property and the use of the Property by the tenants and the guests of the Hotel.

The Purchaser shall not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of such inspections and shall cause any such liens to be removed, by bonding, payment or otherwise, within fifteen (15) days of notification of the filing of such lien. 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 (i) at the Purchaser’s option, cause the Survey to be prepared and (ii) cause an examination of title to the Property to be made, and, prior to the expiration of the Study Period, shall notify the Seller of any defects in title shown by such examination or by the Survey that the Purchaser is unwilling to accept. Within five (5) business days after such notification, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser whether the Seller is willing to cure such defects. If the Seller is willing to cure such defects, the Seller 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 Seller shall pay and discharge (and the Title Company is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing) such defects at or prior to Closing. If the Seller is 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 Seller shall not, after the date of this Agreement, subject the Property 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 or by the Survey 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 or objections to matters shown on the Survey 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) So long as the Purchaser has ordered a Phase I environmental report or a property conditions report with respect to the Real Property (such Phase I environmental report and property conditions report being referred to herein collectively as the “Environmental and Engineering Reports”) on or prior to the seventh (7^th) business day following the date hereof, then if the Purchaser has not received either or both of the Environmental and Engineering Reports prior to the date which is four (4) days prior to the expiration of the Study Period, then (i) the Purchaser shall have the right, to be exercised by written notice delivered to the Seller no later than three (3) days prior to the expiration of the Study Period, to extend the Study Period for fifteen (15) days solely in order to obtain and review whichever or both of the Environmental and Engineering Reports the Purchaser did not receive during the Study Period, (ii) the Study Period shall not be deemed extended as to any other action required to be taken during the Study Period, and (iii) the Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to the Closing as set forth in Section 2.3(a) hereof unless either of the Environmental and Engineering Reports not received prior to the originally scheduled end of the Study Period shall disclose problems with the Property that would reasonably cause the Purchaser not to proceed to the Closing and the Purchaser shall notify the Seller thereof (which notice shall specify the applicable problem(s) and shall include a copy of the applicable report(s)) by the end of such fifteen (15) day period.

(f) The Purchaser shall timely apply for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the Licensor for the assignment and assumption of the Franchise Agreement or the termination of the existing Franchise Agreement and the replacement thereof with a new franchise agreement to which the Purchaser is a party prior to the expiration of the Study Period, and shall pay all costs and expenses associated therewith. The Seller shall assist the Purchaser in respect thereto, but shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses.

(g) The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written consent from the lessor under the Air Rights Lease that the escrow obligation required by Section 8.4 of the Air Rights Lease may be satisfied by the posting of a bond rather than the deposit of a cash escrow. Such consent by the lessor under the Air Rights Lease may be in any form reasonably sufficient to evidence the lessor’s agreement to such arrangement. The Seller shall not be obligated to incur any costs or expense in connection with such efforts, and shall not have any liability hereunder in the event it is unable to obtain such consent.

2.4 Payment of Purchase Price. 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 Seller or other applicable parties at Closing.

ARTICLE 7
CONDEMNATION; RISK OF LOSS

7.1 Condemnation. In the event of any actual or threatened taking, pursuant to the power of eminent domain, of all or any portion of the Real Property, or any proposed sale in lieu thereof, the Seller shall give written notice thereof to the Purchaser promptly after the Seller learns or receives notice thereof. If all or any part of the Real which would materially interfere with the operation or use of any Hotel is, or is to be, so condemned or sold, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3. If the Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, all proceeds, awards and other payments arising out of such condemnation or sale (actual or threatened) shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to the Purchaser at Closing.

7.2 Risk of Loss. In the event of any fire or other casualty affecting the Property, the Seller shall give written notice thereof to the Purchaser promptly after the Seller learns or receives notice thereof. If any such loss or damage occurs prior to Closing and is in excess of Two Million and No/Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or would require more than ninety (90) days to repair, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3. If the Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement, all insurance proceeds and rights to proceeds arising out of such loss or damage shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to the Purchaser at Closing and shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible, under applicable insurance policies.

ARTICLE 8
LIABILITY OF PURCHASER; LIABILITY OF SELLER;
TERMINATION RIGHTS

8.1 Liability of Purchaser and Seller. Except for any obligation expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser does not assume any obligation of the Seller or any liability for claims arising out of any occurrence prior to Closing. The Seller

shall not be responsible for any obligation of the Purchaser or any liability for claims arising out of any occurrence on or after Closing.

8.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10.11, the Seller hereby indemnifies and holds the Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), that may at any time be incurred by the Purchaser, whether before or after Closing, as a result of any breach by the Seller of any of the Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein or in any other document delivered by the Seller pursuant hereto.

8.3 Termination by Purchaser. If the Seller defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligation to sell the Property), and the Seller fails to cure any such matter within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from the Purchaser, the Purchaser, at its option, may elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be forthwith returned to the Purchaser and all other rights and obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser hereunder shall terminate immediately (except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), (b) to waive its right to terminate and, instead, to proceed to Closing, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement.

8.4 Termination by Seller. If the Purchaser defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligation to purchase the Property), and the Purchaser fails to cure any such default within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from the Seller, then the Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that the Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, the Seller and the Purchaser agree that the Seller shall retain the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages and as the Seller’s sole remedy.

ARTICLE 9
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

As a material inducement to the Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Xxxxxxxx Hotels, LLC (“Xxxxxxxx”), on behalf of itself and its affiliates, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Purchaser a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to purchase any and all “Premium Branded Select Service” hotels owned by Xxxxxxxx or any of its affiliates now or in the future (each, a “ROFR Property”) at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to any prospective purchasers of any XXXX Xxxxxxxx. XXXX Properties shall in each case be unencumbered by management agreements and shall include (a) planned development projects that include hotels, and (b) hotel projects that are or will be merchant-built by the Seller under the brands Courtyard by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Hampton Inn or Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hyatt Place, Hyatt Summerfield Suites, Aloft by Starwood and Element by Starwood. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ROFR Properties be deemed to include the Xxxx-Xxxxxxx Hotel in White Plains, New York. Prior to the sale of any ROFR Property, Xxxxxxxx must deliver a written notice to the Purchaser not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such proposed sale. Such notice shall contain the material terms and conditions of the proposed sale and the identity

of the prospective purchaser. To exercise the ROFR, the Purchaser must deliver written notice of its intent to purchase the subject ROFR Property to Xxxxxxxx within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the notice from Xxxxxxxx of the proposed sale. The terms and conditions of any sale of a ROFR Property to the Purchaser following the exercise of the ROFR shall be memorialized in and governed by a written purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction. This Article 9 shall survive the Closing for a period of ten (10) years and shall not merge into any Deed or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith.
