SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
-----------------------------
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as
of February 24, 1999, among CNL Hospitality Properties, Inc., a Maryland
corporation ("CHP"), CNL Hotel Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation
("Hotel Investors"), and Five Arrows Realty Securities II L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company ("Five Arrows").
W I T N E S S E T H:
- - - - - - - - - -
WHEREAS, Five Arrows, CHP and CNL Hospitality Partners, LP,
a Delaware limited partnership ("Hospitality Partners") 100% of the
partnership interests of which are owned by CHP through its wholly owned
subsidiaries have formed Hotel Investors to be operated as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") within the meaning of Section 856 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, a purpose of Hotel Investors is to acquire from
various sellers affiliated with Western International ("WI") 100% of the
partnership interests in partnerships that own certain hotels identified
on Exhibit 1 hereto or, with the consent of Five Arrows, such other
hotels as may be substituted in lieu thereof of similar quality,
characteristics and subject to the same cross-default obligations as the
hotels on Exhibit 1 (the "Hotels") and to manage the Hotels
(collectively, the "Business"); and
WHEREAS, the Hotels are expected to be subject to leases
with a new entity affiliated with WI; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Subscription and
Stockholders' Agreement, (the "Hotel Investors Subscription Agreement")
dated as of February 24, 1999, among Five Arrows, CHP and Hospitality
Partners, Five Arrows has agreed to contribute to Hotel Investors up to
a maximum amount of $50,886,508.86 (the "Five Arrows Commitment"), and
Hospitality Partners has agreed to contribute to Hotel Investors up to a
maximum of $39,982,488.90 (the "Hospitality Commitment"), for the
acquisition of the Hotels; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Hotel Investors Subscription
Agreement upon making advances on the Five Arrows Commitment and in
consideration therefor, Five Arrows will purchase from Hotel Investors
shares of 8% Class A Cumulative Preferred Stock of Hotel Investors (the
"Class A Preferred Stock") having an aggregate liquidation preference
equal to the aggregate amount of such advances; and
WHEREAS, the Class A Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable
for newly issued shares of CHP common stock, par value $.01 per share
("CHP Common Stock"), upon the terms set forth in the Hotel Investors
Subscription Agreement; and
WHEREAS, to provide a portion of the funds necessary in
order for Hospitality Partners to satisfy the Hospitality Commitment
therefor, CHP desires to issue the CHP Common Stock required to be
delivered to the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock upon any such
exchange; and
WHEREAS, Five Arrows desires to purchase and CHP desires to
sell up to an additional 1,578,947 shares of CHP Common Stock, at
purchase price of $9.50 per share, for a maximum aggregate investment of
$14,999,996.50, each upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
respective representations and warranties hereinafter set forth and the
respective covenants and agreements contained herein and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
1. PURCHASE OF CHP COMMON STOCK
----------------------------
1.1. Purchase of CHP Common Stock. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions herein stated, CHP agrees to issue and sell to
Five Arrows, and Five Arrows agrees to purchase from CHP, up to
1,578,947 shares of CHP Common Stock (the "Shares") at a purchase price
(the "Purchase Price") of $9.50 per share, for a maximum aggregate
investment of $14,999,996.50 (the "Five Arrows Investment"). On any
Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof) on which Five Arrows
purchases Shares, CHP shall deliver to Five Arrows a certificate
registered in Five Arrows' name (or satisfactory evidence of such
issuance), representing the Shares to be issued to Five Arrows at the
closing on the applicable Closing Date (each a "Closing"). Five Arrows
may elect to pay that portion of the Purchase Price required to be paid
by Five Arrows at each Closing by wire transfer to either (i) an account
designated by CHP within two days before the applicable Closing Date or
(ii) an account designated by Hospitality Partners, for the benefit of
Hotel Investors and on behalf of CHP, within two days before the
applicable Closing Date.
1.2. Timing of Purchases. At any time or from time to
time between the date hereof and December 31, 1999, Five Arrows shall be
required, subject to the conditions set forth below, to purchase Shares
within 10 days of receipt of a notice from CHP (a "Notice of Purchase")
which notice shall (a) state that CHP has received notice from
Hospitality Partners requesting that Hospitality Partners fund all or
any portion of the Hospitality Commitment (each such amount to be funded
to be referred to as an "Incremental Funding") and (b) specify the
portion of the Five Arrows Investment to be made which shall not exceed
the lesser of the balance of the Five Arrows Commitment or 37.52% of the
applicable Incremental Funding; provided, however, that such portion
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share so as to avoid the
issuance of fractional shares of CHP Common Stock, and the date (each a
"Closing Date") such Shares are to be purchased (a "Purchase," and the
first Purchase, the "Initial Purchase").
1.3. Use of Proceeds In no event shall Five Arrows be
required to purchase any Shares other than by reason of the funding of
any Hospitality Commitment.
1.4. Purchase Price. Five Arrows shall, on each
Closing Date, pay to CHP (or, in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof, to
Hospitality Partners) the Purchase Price for the number of Shares
specified in the applicable Notice of Purchase. Upon receipt of such
Purchase Price, CHP shall deliver to Five Arrows that number of Shares
equal to the Purchase Price divided by 9.5. For example, if the portion
of the Hospitality Commitment required by Hotel Investors on a
particular Closing Date (i.e., the Incremental Funding) is $22,000,000,
then the Purchase Price shall be $8,254,400 for 868,884 Shares and the
remaining Five Arrows Commitment shall be $6,745,596.
1.5. Issuance of Note in lieu of CHP Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Five Arrows would own
more than 9.8% of the outstanding CHP Common Stock as a result any
purchase of Shares hereunder and the ownership limitations set forth in
the Articles of Incorporation of CHP (the "Ownership Limits") have not
theretofore been amended or waived to permit Five Arrows to hold in
excess of such limitations, Five Arrows shall (i) purchase in the
aggregate that number of whole Shares that would cause Five Arrows to
own up to but not in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding CHP Common Stock
and (ii) loan to CHP the balance of any Incremental Funding in exchange
for the promissory note of CHP and Hotel Investors substantially in the
form of Exhibit 1.5 attached hereto (the "Note").
1.6. Conversion of Note. The principal amount of the
Note shall be converted automatically into shares of CHP Common Stock,
at one time or from time to time as the holder of the Note is permitted
under the amended or waived Ownership Limits to own additional shares of
CHP Common Stock. The per share conversion price shall be equal to the
principal amount converted divided by 9.5 and upon any such conversion,
the accrued and unpaid interest on the converted portion of the Note
shall be paid immediately by CHP. All shares of CHP Common Stock issued
upon such conversion shall be fully paid and nonassessable, and the
Holder (as defined below) thereof shall be entitled to the same rights
with respect to such shares (including, without limitation, registration
rights) as if such shares were purchased pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof.
ARTICLE II
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CHP. CHP, with
respect to itself and each of its Subsidiaries (as such term is defined
in Section 2.6 hereof), represents and warrants, as of the date
hereof(except as otherwise specified herein), and as may be updated
pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof as of each Closing Date as if made on
such Closing Date, as follows:
2.1. Corporate Power and Authority CHP has the full
legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the Note,
the Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 24, 1999 by and
between CHP and Five Arrows (the "CHP Registration Rights Agreement"),
the Hotel Investors Subscription Agreement and any other agreements
executed in connection herewith or therewith (collectively with this
Agreement, the "Transaction Documents"), and to issue and sell the
Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate the
other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
2.2. Consents and Approvals; Authorization and
Noncontravention. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.2 attached hereto,
there is no requirement applicable to CHP or any of its Subsidiaries to
make any filing with, or obtain any permit, authorization, consent or
approval of, any governmental authority or any other person as a
condition to the lawful consummation by CHP and any of its Subsidiaries
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document has been
duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by CHP and any of
its Subsidiaries party thereto and constitute the valid and legally
binding agreements of CHP and each Subsidiary who is a party thereto,
enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, subject, as to
enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to
general equity principles. The execution and delivery by CHP and such
subsidiaries of this Agreement, and the other agreements and instruments
to be executed and delivered by CHP in connection herewith and
therewith, do not and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby will not, in any manner which would have a material
adverse effect on CHP: (i) violate any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws of CHP or of any of CHP's Subsidiaries; (ii)
except as set forth on Schedule 2.2, violate any provision of, or result
in the termination or acceleration of, or default under, or entitle any
party to accelerate (whether after the filing of notice or lapse of time
or both) any obligation under, or result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance upon
any of the assets of CHP or of any of CHP's Subsidiaries pursuant to any
provision of any mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, license, or
instrument, or violate any law, regulation, order, arbitration award,
judgment or decree to which CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries is a party
or by which CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties is bound, or (iii) violate or conflict with, or create a
default under, any other material contract, including, without
limitation, those contracts listed on Schedule 2.10 attached hereto, or
restriction of any kind or character to which CHP or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound or subject.
2.3. Existence and Good Standing
(a) CHP and each of CHP's Subsidiaries is a
corporation or partnership, duly formed or organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its organization, as the case may
be. CHP and each of CHP's Subsidiaries has the requisite power,
corporate or otherwise, to own its property and to carry on its business
as it is now being conducted. CHP is duly qualified to do business and
is in good standing in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 2.3 attached
hereto, which are the only jurisdictions in which the character or
location of the properties owned or leased by CHP or the nature of the
business conducted by CHP makes such qualification necessary, except
where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect
on CHP.
(b) CHP has qualified as a REIT under the Code
and has taken no action or omitted to take any action, the effect of
which reasonably could be expected to disqualify CHP as a REIT under the
Code.
2.4. Capital Stock
(a) The authorized capital stock of CHP consists
of: (i) 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 3,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"); and
(iii) 63,000,000 shares of excess stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Excess Stock"). As of November 20, 1998, (i) 3,290,417.022 shares of
Common Stock were validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and no shares of Preferred Stock or Excess Stock have
been issued or are outstanding; and (ii) no shares of Common Stock and
no shares of Preferred Stock were reserved for issuance. All of such
shares of capital stock of CHP have been duly authorized, validly
issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance
with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Except as set
forth on Schedule 2.4, (i) no shares of capital stock of CHP or any of
CHP's Subsidiaries are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar
rights; (ii) no securities, directly or indirectly, are convertible into
or exchangeable for any of the capital stock of CHP or any of CHP's
Subsidiaries; and (iii) no options, warrants, rights, calls or
commitments relating to such shares or other such securities, are
outstanding.
(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4, neither
CHP nor any of its Subsidiaries are subject to any obligation
(contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire
any shares of its capital stock nor are there any outstanding rights to
repurchase capital stock of CHP or any of its Subsidiaries, except as
set forth in or contemplated by this Agreement. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.4, there are no agreements between CHP's shareholders with
respect to the voting, transfer or registration of CHP's capital stock.
2.5. Valid Issuance of Shares; No Personal Liability.
(a) When issued, sold and delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof for the consideration expressed herein, the Shares
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The
Shares are not subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights
and will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws. Five Arrows, upon purchase of the Shares, will not be
subject to personal liability by reason of being a holder of Shares.
(b) The shares of CHP Common Stock when issued
and delivered upon exchange for shares of Class A Preferred Stock in
accordance with the terms hereof will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to preemptive rights or
any other similar rights. Such shares of CHP Common Stock will be
issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities
laws. Five Arrows, upon issuance of such shares of CHP Common Stock,
will not be subject to personal liability by reason of being a holder of
such shares.
2.6. Subsidiaries and Investments. CHP's only direct
or indirect Subsidiaries are listed in Schedule 2.6 attached hereto.
The outstanding shares of capital stock, partnership or other equity
interests of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, as applicable, and are
owned by CHP, directly or through one or more Subsidiaries, free and
clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance or other security interests
except as set forth in Schedule 2.6. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Subsidiary" shall mean a Person (as defined in Section 2.10) in which
CHP has the ability, whether by the direct or indirect ownership of
shares or other equity interests, by contract or otherwise, to elect a
majority of the directors of a corporation or the trustees of a real
estate investment trust, to select the managing partner of a
partnership, or otherwise to select, or have the power to remove and
then select, a majority of those persons exercising governing authority
over such Person. In the case of a limited partnership, the sole
general partner, all of the general partners to the extent each has
equal management control and authority, or the managing general partner
or managing general partners thereof shall be deemed to have control of
such partnership and, in the case of a trust other than a real estate
investment trust, any trustee thereof or any Person having the right to
select any such trustee shall be deemed to have control of such trust.
2.7. Financial Statements and No Material Changes
(a) CHP has heretofore furnished Five Arrows with
true and correct copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet
and the related statements of income and cash flows, including the
footnotes thereto, of CHP and CHP's Subsidiaries as of the end of their
latest fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 ("Fiscal 1997"), all of which
were audited by Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P., and (ii) the unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of CHP and CHP's Subsidiaries and the related
statements of income and cash flows as of September 30, 1998 prepared by
CHP. (The balance sheet of CHP and CHP's Subsidiaries at December 31,
1997 is hereinafter referred to as the "Balance Sheet" and such date is
hereinafter referred to as the "Balance Sheet Date"). Such financial
statements including the footnotes thereto, except as indicated therein,
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), consistently applied throughout the periods
presented. The Balance Sheet fairly presents the financial condition of
CHP and CHP's Subsidiaries at the date thereof and, except as indicated
therein, reflects all known or asserted material claims against and all
material debts and liabilities of CHP and CHP's Subsidiaries, fixed or
contingent, as at the date thereof, and the related statements of income
and retained earnings fairly present the results of the operations of
CHP and CHP's Subsidiaries and the changes in its financial position for
the period indicated each in accordance with GAAP, except as specified
therein.
(b) CHP has filed all forms, reports and
documents (the "SEC Reports") required to be filed by it pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") since September 30,
1998. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the
Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by
the SEC thereunder. None of the SEC Reports, as of their respective
dates, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. CHP has heretofore furnished or
offered to furnish Five Arrows with true and correct copies of all SEC
Reports and Exhibits and Schedules thereto required to be filed by CHP
with SEC.
(c) Since the respective dates of the material
SEC Reports, except as otherwise listed on Schedule 2.7(c) attached
hereto, there has been no material adverse change in the assets or
liabilities, or in the business affairs or business prospects of CHP or
any of its Subsidiaries (present or anticipated) or condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the results of operations of CHP or any of CHP's
Subsidiaries; and to the best knowledge, information and belief of CHP,
no fact or condition (not of general knowledge) exists or is
contemplated or threatened which might reasonably be expected to cause
such a change in the future.
2.8. Title to Properties; Encumbrances. Except as set
forth on Schedule 2.8 attached hereto and except for properties and
assets reflected in the Balance Sheet or acquired since the Balance
Sheet Date which have been sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary
course of business, CHP and each of CHP's Subsidiaries has, and on each
Closing Date, will have, good, valid and marketable title to (a) all of
its material properties and assets (real and personal, tangible and
intangible), including, without limitation, all of the properties and
assets reflected in the Balance Sheet, except as indicated in the notes
thereto or in a Schedule to this Agreement, and (b) all of the material
properties and assets purchased by CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries
since the Balance Sheet Date, in each case subject to no material
encumbrance, lien, charge or other restriction of any kind or character,
except for (i) liens reflected in the Balance Sheet or in a Schedule to
this Agreement, (ii) liens consisting of zoning or planning
restrictions, easements, permits and other restrictions or limitations
on the use of real property or irregularities in title thereto which do
not detract from the value of, or impair the use of, such property by
CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries in the operation of their respective
businesses, and (iii) liens for current taxes, assessments or
governmental charges or levies on property not yet due and delinquent
and liens of carriers, warehousemen, vendors and material men incurred
in the ordinary course of business securing sums not yet due and payable
(liens of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Permitted Liens").
2.9. Leases. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.9, each
lease of material real or personal property to which CHP and each of its
Subsidiaries is a party is in full force and effect, and there exists no
event of default or event, occurrence, condition or act (including the
purchase of the Shares or any of the conditions precedent hereunder)
which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening of
any further event or condition, would become a default under such lease
to real or personal property. CHP and each of its Subsidiaries is not
currently in default of any of the terms or conditions under any such
lease to real or personal property and, to the best knowledge,
information and belief of CHP, all of the material covenants to be
performed by any other party under any such lease to real or personal
property have been fully performed. The real or personal property
leased by CHP and each of its Subsidiaries is in a state of good
maintenance and repair in all material respects.
2.10. Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.10
attached hereto, neither CHP nor any of CHP's Subsidiaries is bound by
(a) any material contract or other agreements relating to the
acquisition or disposition by CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries of any
operating business or the capital stock or assets of any person, (b) any
material agreement, contract or commitment relating to the employment of
any person by CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries, or any bonus, deferred
compensation, pension, profit sharing, stock option, employee stock
purchase, retirement or other employee benefit plan, (c) any material
agreement, indenture or other instrument which contains restrictions
with respect to payment of dividends or any other distribution in
respect of its capital stock, (d) any material agreement, contract or
commitment relating to capital expenditures not yet made, (e) any
material loan or advance to, or material investment in, any individual,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, corporation,
trust, unincorporated organization, government or other entity (each a
"Person") or any material agreement, contract or commitment relating to
the making of any such loan, advance or investment, (f) any material
guarantee or other contingent liability in respect of any indebtedness
or obligation of any Person (other than the endorsement of negotiable
instruments for collection in the ordinary course of business), (g) any
material management service, consulting or any other similar type of
contract, unless entered into or incurred in the ordinary course of
business, (h) any material agreement, contract or commitment limiting
the freedom of CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries to engage in any line of
business or to compete with any Person, (i) any material bank debt,
loan, credit or other financing arrangement, and (j) except as otherwise
disclosed in this Agreement or a Schedule or Exhibit annexed hereto, any
material agreement, contract or commitment not entered into in the
ordinary course of business. Each contract or agreement set forth on
Schedule 2.10 (or required to be set forth on Schedule 2.10) is in full
force and effect and except as set forth on Schedule 2.10, there exists
no default or event of default or event, occurrence, condition or act
(including the purchase of the Shares, or any of the conditions
precedent hereunder) which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time
or the happening of any further event or condition, would become a
default or event of default thereunder.
2.11. Restrictive Documents. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.11 attached hereto, neither CHP nor any of CHP's Subsidiaries
is subject to, or a party to, any charter, by-law, mortgage, lien,
lease, license, permit, agreement, contract, instrument, law, rule,
ordinance, regulation, order, judgment or decree, or any other
restriction of any kind or character, in any such case which is material
to CHP, which would prevent consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, compliance by CHP with the terms,
conditions and provisions hereof or the continued operation of CHP's or
any of CHP's Subsidiaries' business after the date hereof or each
Closing Date on substantially the same basis as heretofore operated or
which would restrict the ability of CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries to
acquire any property or conduct business in any area.
2.12. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.12
attached hereto, there is no material action, suit, proceeding at law or
in equity, arbitration or administrative or other proceeding by or
before or any investigation by any governmental or other instrumentality
or agency, pending, or, to the best knowledge, information and belief of
CHP threatened, against or affecting CHP or any of CHP's Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective properties or rights, and CHP does not know
of any valid basis for any action, proceeding or investigation. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2.12, neither CHP nor any of CHP's Subsidiaries

8.1. Survival. The respective representations and
warranties and covenants and agreements of CHP and Five Arrows contained
in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto shall
survive the Closing and shall terminate on January 1, 2002, except that
the representations and warranties and covenants and agreements
contained in Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (and any applicable Schedule)
shall terminate upon the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations giving effect to any extensions thereof.
8.2. Indemnification.
(a) Each of CHP and Five Arrows, as the case may
be (each, an "Indemnifying Party"), agrees to indemnify and hold the
other and such other's respective stockholders, partners, officers,
directors, members, employees, counsel, accountants and agents (each, an
"Indemnified Party") harmless from any damages, liabilities, losses,
costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel
fees and expenses) suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, as a result
of or arising out of (without regard to any materiality, material
adverse effect or knowledge qualifier) (i) the breach or non-compliance
with any covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein by an
Indemnifying Party, (ii) the breach of or the failure of any respective
representation or warranty contained herein made by an Indemnifying
Party, (iii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, or any other Transaction
Document by an Indemnifying Party, (iv) all Taxes resulting from CHP
being severally liable for any Taxes pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the
Treasury Regulations or any analogous state or local provision or (v)
any Environmental Liabilities arising out of any (A) any Releases or
threatened Releases of Hazardous Materials at or from the properties of
CHP or its Subsidiaries; (B) any violations of Environmental Laws; (C)
any Environmental Claim related to the conditions existing prior to each
applicable Closing Date; and (D) any personal injury (including wrongful
death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to
Hazardous Material used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by
CHP, any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor in interest at the
properties of CHP or its Subsidiaries. However, the Indemnifying Party
shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party only when the
aggregate of all damages, liabilities, losses, costs or expenses
suffered or paid by the Indemnified Party as to which a right of
indemnification is provided under this Article VIII exceeds $200,000
(the "Threshold Amount"). After the aggregate amount of all damages,
liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or paid by the
Indemnified Party exceeds the Threshold Amount, the Indemnifying Party
shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all such
damages, liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or paid.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
liability of CHP hereunder shall in no event exceed the Five Arrows
Investment received by CHP pursuant to this Agreement (except for CHP's
liability under clause (iv) of this paragraph (a)).
(b) If any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation is commenced, as to which an Indemnified Party proposes to
demand indemnification, it shall notify the Indemnifying Party with
reasonable promptness and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that any failure by an
Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder, except to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced in its
ability to defend the action, suit, proceedings or investigation for
which such indemnification is sought by reason of such failure. An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel of its own
choice in its sole discretion, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
reasonable fees, reasonable expenses and reasonable disbursements of
such counsel only if the Indemnifying Party has declined or failed to
assume the defense thereof or if the Indemnifying Party's counsel would
be unable to defend such claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party by
virtue of a conflict of interest; and such counsel shall to the extent
consistent with its professional responsibilities cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party and any counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party.
The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any claim
against an Indemnified Party made with the Indemnifying Party's written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without prior written consent of an
Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default
or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term
thereof, the giving by the claimant to an Indemnified Party of an
unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim.
(c) In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these
indemnification provisions is made but it is found in a final judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal)
that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though
the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case,
then the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party,
on the other, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages,
obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs and
expenses to which the indemnified persons may be subject in accordance
with the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the
one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection
with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in expenses and
the relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered. No
person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled
to contribution on account thereof from any person who is not also found
liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(d) The obligations to indemnify and hold
harmless pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall survive each Closing Date
and shall terminate with respect to any unasserted claim based on a
breach of or the non-compliance with any covenant, agreement or
obligation or a breach of or a failure of any representation or warranty
contained in (i) this Agreement (other than Sections 2.13, 2.14 and
2.15) on January 1, 2002 and (ii) Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 and the
obligation set forth in Section 8.2(a)(iv) hereof upon expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations giving effect to any extensions
thereof.
