(e)Β No Governmental Review. Seller understands that neither the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") nor any other federal or state governmental authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units, nor have such governmental authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.

14.Β Seller's Default.Β If Seller fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice describing such default; provided, however, Seller shall not be entitled to any notice and cure relating to Seller's failure to comply with its obligations under Section 3.2 of this Agreement.Β In the event Seller fails to cure such default within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, Purchaser, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, may (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Purchaser, and if such material breach is (x) a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty which results or would result in an aggregate diminution in value to Purchaser of the acquisition of the Property caused by such breach of representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of at least one percent (1%) (other than a Non-Breach Inaccuracy or a breach which Purchaser had knowledge of (including information contained in the Submission Matters) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period) or (y) a material breach by Seller of its material obligations under this Agreement, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser damages equal to the aggregate amount of out of pocket costs paid or incurred by Purchaser in negotiating and entering into this Agreement, performing its due diligence and audit, obtaining the New Franchise Agreement, and preparing for the Closing, not to exceed $100,000.00, and upon return of the Deposit to Purchaser and payment by Seller of the damages due to Purchaser (which Seller agrees to pay within ten (10) days after delivery of a demand notice from Purchaser accompanied by verification of its expenses paid or incurred), this Agreement shall terminate, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; (ii) seek to specifically enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement (in order to maintain an action for specific performance, Purchaser shall not be required to have delivered to the Title Company the remaining balance of the cash portion of the Purchase Price as long as Purchaser is ready, willing, and able to do so, and Purchaser furnishes reasonable evidence of Purchaser's ability to timely perform all obligations of Purchaser); or (iii) proceed to Closing notwithstanding such default.Β However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the limit in (i) on Purchaser's damage remedy shall not be applicable if, through willful and intentional actions of Seller (such as a deeding of the Property to another person), the specific performance remedy is not available to Purchaser.Β Also, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 14 shall limit Seller's obligation to pay to Purchaser the Attorneys Fees to the extent required pursuant to Section 23 in order to enforce the provisions of this Section.Β "Non-Breach Inaccuracy" shall mean a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement of which Seller gives Purchaser written notice prior to Closing or Purchaser otherwise obtains actual knowledge prior to Closing which does not constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty made as of the Effective Date but would constitute a breach or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty if made as of the Closing Date (such as, for example, because Seller did not have knowledge to the extent a representation requires knowledge, as such term is defined in this Agreement, of such matters as of the Effective Date).
15.Β Purchaser's Default.Β If Purchaser fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice describing such default; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any notice and cure relating to Purchaser's failure to comply with its obligations under Section 3.4 of this Agreement.Β In the event Purchaser fails to cure such default within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the right to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Deposit to Seller, at which time this Agreement shall terminate, and Seller and Purchaser shall have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.Β The Seller's retention of the Deposit shall be deemed to constitute agreed upon liquidated damages, and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 1515 shall limit Purchaser's obligation to comply with the indemnity provisions of this Agreement applicable to Purchaser and to pay to Seller the Attorneys Fees to the extent required pursuant to Section 2323 in order to enforce the provisions of this Section.
16.Β Limitation of Remedies.Β If Closing shall take place under this Agreement, no claim for a breach of any indemnity, covenant, representation or warranty of Seller will be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from, or is based on, a condition, state of facts or other matter which was (i) actually known to Purchaser prior to Closing, (ii) included in the Submission Matters, or (iii) the result of a Non-Breach Inaccuracy.Β In no event shall Seller's aggregate liability to Purchaser for breach of any indemnities, covenants, representations or warranties of Seller in this Agreement or otherwise under this Agreement, or under any other documents or deliveries by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exceed the amount of three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price, except that any Seller liability under Section 34.1, which is insured, shall not count against or be subject to the limitation on liability.Β In no event shall any claim by Purchaser for a breach of any indemnity, representation or warranty of Seller be actionable against Seller until the aggregate of such claims exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00).Β Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any action which may be brought by Purchaser for the untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or for any covenant or indemnity of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any of the closing documents to be delivered by Seller at Closing (a "Claim") shallΒ be forever barred unless, no later than ninety-one (91) days following oneΒ (1) year following the Closing Date (the "PurchaserΒ Limitation Date"), the Purchaser (a) delivers to Seller a written notice of the Claim setting forth the basis for such Claim and (b) commences legal proceedings no later than two (2) years and one (1) day following the Closing Date, in which event the Purchaser Limitation Date as to such Claim shall be extended pending the resolution of such legal proceeding.Β Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any provision of law to the contrary, any Claim which may be brought by Seller shallΒ be forever barred unless, no later than ninety-one (91) days following twoΒ (2) years following the Closing Date (the "SellerΒ Limitation Date"), the Seller (a) delivers to the Purchaser a written notice of the Claim setting forth the basis for such Claim and (b) commences legal proceedings no later than three (3) years and one (1) day following the Closing Date, in which event the Seller Limitation Date as to such Claim shall be extended pending the resolution of such legal proceeding.Β Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will Purchaser or Seller be liable for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect, punitive or treble damages or lost profits, whether based on statute, contract, tort or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 1616 shall survive the Closing.
17.Β Brokers.Β Except for HFF who has been engaged by Seller and for whose fees Seller will be responsible, neither Purchaser nor Seller has engaged a broker or sales agent for the purpose of introducing Purchaser to Seller, the Property or the transaction contemplated in this matter.Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all brokerage fees which may become due and payable to any broker hired by such party in connection with the transaction, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any broker or other agent fees arising as a result of any equity or debt raising activities conducted by Purchaser or its affiliates to consummate the transactions described in this Agreement.Β Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any other person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder's fee as a result of having dealt with Purchaser, or as a result of having introduced Purchaser to Seller or to the Property.Β Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and save and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder's fee as a result of having dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction.Β The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
18.Β Entire Agreement.Β This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties, written or oral, which relate to the subject matter hereof but specifically excluding any confidentiality agreements entered into between the parties or their affiliates.Β Amendments to this Agreement may only be made in writing and executed by Purchaser and Seller.

UNITS OF CONDOR HOSPITALITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Purchaser shall have the option to use Units of Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership for a non-cash portion (not more than $86,195.50) of the Purchase Price.Β Such Units shall be issued at a price that is equal to the average closing price of Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. ("Condor") common stock (symbol "CDOR") for the three (3) trading days prior to the Purchase Agreement announcement date, and the general terms and rights of ownership of such Units are described as follows:.
Β·
|
The form of the "non-cash" consideration will take the form of limited partnership interests, referred to as OP Units, in Condor Hospitality Limited Partnership, Condor's operating partnership (the "OP").
|
Β·
|
All of Condor's investments (its real estate assets) are acquired and owned directly or indirectly by the OP.
|
Β·
|
A Condor subsidiary serves as the general partner ("GP") of the OP.
|
Β·
|
Holders acquire their OP Units in non-public offerings, typically in exchange for hotels they contributed to the OP.
|
Β·
|
After holding the OP Units for one year, you have the right to require the OP to redeem your OP Units in exchange for cash or, at our option, shares of Condor Common Stock.
|
Β·
|
The cash redemption price for fifty-two (52) OP Units will equal the average of the closing price of one share of Condor Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding receiving the notice of redemption.
|
Β·
|
However, assuming we receive Board approval, we anticipate that we will generally will elect to redeem the OP Units at the rate of fifty-two (52) OP Units for one share of Condor Common Stock.
|
Β·
|
There is no public market for OP Units and the OP Units are generally not transferable.
|
Β·
|
If the OP Unit holder is an entity, then a transfer to an affiliate or subsidiary is generally permissible.Β If the OP Unit holder is an individual, then a transfer by gift to an immediate family member or a family trust for the individual or immediate family member is generally permissible.
|
Β·
|
Other transfers may be made with our consent, and though at our discretion, we would generally expect to consent if you have held the OP Units for six months and we are provided an opinion of counsel that the transfer complies with securities laws and does not require registration.
|
Β·
|
Condor Common Stock is publicly traded on a national securities exchange.
|
Β·
|
If Condor redeems OP Units with Condor Common Stock, and if SEC Rule 144 is not available for sales by you, Condor will file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 to allow resales of shares of any Condor Common Stock issued upon redemption of the OP Units.Β Condor will keep the registration statement effective until all shares issued upon redemption of the OP Units are sold or may be sold in a transaction permitted by SEC Rule 144.
|
|
You will be able to sell the Condor Common Stock under SEC Rule 144 six months after issuance without restriction, provided you are not an insider (director, officer, 10%+ shareholder).
