Except for any Purchaser’s Objections to the Title Commitment or any updated Title Commitment or the Survey or any updated Survey, respectively, if same are timely raised by Purchaser’s delivery of a Purchaser’s Objection Notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted (1) the form and substance of the Survey and any updated Survey (and all matters shown thereon), (2) all exceptions to the Title Commitment that are listed on Exhibit I attached hereto, and (3) all exceptions to any updated Title Commitment that were not on the Title Commitment, and shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.2(a).

(b) Permitted Encumbrances. The term “Permitted Encumbrances” as used herein means: (i) those items listed on Exhibit I attached hereto, and (ii) if Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.2(a), any Purchaser’s Objection that remains uncured, for whatever reason, five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Objection Response Notice (or, if earlier, on or before the Closing Date) (excluding any Monetary Encumbrance, Seller’s obligations, if any, as to which shall be as set forth below in this Section 4.1.2(b) and in Section 4.1.2(d)).

that Title Company has irrevocably agreed to issue an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance in 2006 ALTA standard form in the form thereof, in either case naming Purchaser as insured, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that Purchaser owns good and indefeasible leasehold title to (i) the Hotel Parcel pursuant to the Hotel Ground Lease, and (ii) the Hotel Service Area Parcel pursuant to the Hotel Service Area Lease, in each case subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances (except as hereafter provided), with “extended coverage” and such other title insurance coverage or endorsements as are available in the State of Illinois which Purchaser may reasonably require, including, without limitation, (1) an ALTA form 3.1 zoning endorsement with parking and loading docks, (2) removing the survey exception listed as Permitted Encumbrance number 1 on Exhibit I and/or replacing the same with a specific survey exception, and (3) an ALTA form 34-06 Identified Risk endorsement with respect to the Developer’s Agreement listed as Permitted Encumbrance number 10 on Exhibit I, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (collectively , the “Owner’s Policy”)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Purchaser to close hereunder is conditioned upon delivery of the Owner’s Policy to Purchaser at Closing. If the Seller has not so caused the Title Company to deliver such Owner’s Policy (and extended coverage, unless the failure to deliver same is the result of Purchaser’s failure to pay for any such extended coverage or endorsements as required herein) to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and, in such event, the Xxxxxxx Money shall promptly be refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. The Owner’s Policy shall be at Seller’s cost to the extent required under Section 6.5 hereof, provided, however the “extended coverage” or other title insurance coverage or endorsements shall be at Purchaser’s sole expense.
(d) Limitations of Seller’s Obligations. Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate, modify or cure any matter affecting title to the Property that is not a Permitted Encumbrance (the “Non-Permitted Encumbrances”). In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify any Non-Permitted Encumbrance to the satisfaction of Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement, at which time the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all interest accruing thereon, shall immediately be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall eliminate, modify or cure, to Purchaser’s satisfaction (in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion) at or prior to Closing any and all (i) Monetary Encumbrances caused or incurred by Seller or any affiliate of Seller, (ii) all other Monetary Encumbrances not described in clause (i) above or clause (iii) below, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 and (iii) any Purchaser’s Objection which Seller has agreed to eliminate, modify or cure, whether monetary or non-monetary, in Seller’s Objection Response Notice. Seller’s failure to eliminate, modify or cure such matters in accordance herewith shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by Seller. In the event Seller fails to eliminate, modify or cure such matters described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the previous sentence, Purchaser may choose (as its sole and exclusive remedy) either (A) to pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1 of this Agreement, or (B) to terminate this Agreement, at which time the Xxxxxxx Money, together with all interest accruing thereon, shall immediately be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations, and, in addition Purchaser shall also reimburse to Seller all of Seller’s actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred from the time that Purchaser received such Seller’s Objection Response Notice until the termination of this Agreement.

RISK OF LOSS
7.1 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take all or any material portion of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed or assignment in lieu thereof, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. For purposes of this paragraph, a material portion of the Property shall mean a portion of the Property which cannot be replaced or substantially replaced at a cost of less than $2,000,000. If a non-material portion of the Property is the subject of eminent domain proceedings prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the award or other compensation paid in connection therewith, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.
7.2 Casualty. Except as provided in Sections 4.2 and 5.1 of this Agreement, Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Property by fire, storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage in excess of $2,000,000 prior to the Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, does not elect to repair, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage (less an amount equal to any expenses and costs incurred by Seller to repair or restore the Property and any portion of such proceeds paid or to be paid on account of the loss of rents or other income from the Property for the period prior to and including the Closing Date, all of which shall be payable to Seller), to the extent the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Purchase Price, shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing. If the Property, or any part thereof, suffers any damage less than $2,000,000 prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees that it will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage plus an amount equal to Seller’s deductible under its insurance policy, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price.
8.
DEFAULT
8.1 Breach by Seller. In the event that Seller shall fail to consummate the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement for any reason (other than Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the provisions hereof), Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy may either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive (i) a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and (ii) if such failure to close the transactions contemplated herein results from a breach
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT |
|
| |
Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel |
|
|
|
or default of Seller hereunder (as opposed to the mere failure of Purchaser Closing Condition not due to a breach or default of Seller hereunder or the mere failure of Seller’s Closing Condition), reimbursement of Purchaser’s actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall only be entitled to such remedy if (A) any such suit for specific performance is filed within sixty (60) days after Purchaser becomes aware of the default by Seller, (B) Purchaser is not in default under this Agreement, and (C) Purchaser has furnished ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller of its intent and election to seek specific enforcement of this Agreement; and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Purchaser seeks specific performance under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to accept the Property in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition. Purchaser hereby agrees that prior to its exercise of any rights or remedies as a result of any defaults by Seller, Purchaser will first deliver written notice of said default to Seller, and if Seller so elects, Seller shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure such default within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice. In no event whatsoever shall Purchaser file any instrument of record against title to the Property; provided, however, Purchaser may file a lis pendens of this Agreement simultaneously with its filing of a suit for specific performance pursuant to this Section 8.1. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 10.10 hereof), in no event whatsoever shall Purchaser have the right to seek money damages of any kind as a result of any default by Seller under any of the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
8.1.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1 above, the foregoing shall not in any way limit, affect or impair any of Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, as provided in Section 8.1.2 of this Agreement, which Seller acknowledges are Surviving Obligations hereunder; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
8.1.2 Seller hereby acknowledges, covenants and unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably agrees to appear, indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless, as well as reimburse, Purchaser and its affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors, trustees, agents, representatives and employees (together with Purchaser, collectively, the “Purchaser Related Parties”) to the fullest extent provided by law, from and against, and for, any and claims and losses, to the extent the Closing occurs and such claims and losses result from any of the following (collectively, the “Seller Indemnity Obligations”): (i) any and all Seller Indemnified Liabilities (as defined below); and (ii) any breach or default by Seller of this Agreement including, without limitation, the representations and warranties of Seller contained in, and as limited under, this Agreement to the extent that such representations, warranties and/or covenants survive Closing. As used herein, the term “Seller Indemnified Liabilities” means, with respect to the Property (to the extent incurred as of the Closing): (i) obligations or liabilities arising out of acts or omissions of Seller or any of its affiliates occurring during Seller’s Ownership Period; and (ii) to the extent covered by insurance maintained by Seller, liabilities arising from any claims by third parties arising out of events occurring prior to the Closing, provided, however, that Seller’s sole obligation with respect to this clause (ii) shall be to tender a claim with respect thereto to Seller’s insurer and to remit to the applicable Purchaser Related Party any proceeds of such claim to the extent of the applicable Purchaser Related Party’s loss with respect thereto.
8.1.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Purchaser Related Parties is entitled to defense or indemnification under Section 8.1.2 above (an “Indemnification Claim”), Seller shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Purchaser Related Party unless and until such Purchaser Related Party provides written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to Seller promptly after
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT |
|
| |
Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel |
|
|
|
such Purchaser Related Party has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances with respect to such Indemnification Claim. If any Purchaser Related Party delivers a Claim Notice, Purchaser shall cause such Purchaser Related Party to diligently pursue, in good faith, the resolution of the underlying Indemnification Claim in a timely fashion.
8.1.4 At Closing, Seller shall fund the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) into an escrow account to be held by the Title Company (the “Holdback Escrow”) pursuant to a post-closing escrow agreement between Purchaser, Seller and the Title Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, Seller and the Title Company. Seller hereby covenants and agrees, after Closing, to maintain a minimum balance in the Holdback Escrow of not less than the Required Amount (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Required Amount” shall mean, as of any date of determination (i) during the period from the Closing Date to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, an amount equal to (x) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), minus (y) the aggregate amount actually paid by Seller to any Purchaser Related Parties on account of any Seller Indemnity Obligations on or before such date of determination, (ii) during the period from the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date to the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date (the “Indemnification Termination Date”), an amount equal to (x) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), minus (y) the aggregate amount actually paid by Seller to any Purchaser Related Parties on account of any Seller Indemnity Obligations on or before such date of determination, and (iii) from and after the Indemnification Termination Date, an amount equal to (x) if no Claim Notice has been delivered by any Purchaser Related Party to Seller prior to the Indemnification Termination Date, Zero Dollars ($0), or (y) if a Claim Notice has been delivered by any Purchaser Related Party to Seller prior to the Indemnification Termination Date, the lesser of (I) an amount equal to (1) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), minus (2) the aggregate amount actually paid by Seller to any Purchaser Related Parties on account of any Seller Indemnity Obligations on or before such date of determination, and (II) the amount necessary to pay the Indemnification Claim giving rise to such Claim Notice in full; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim Notice has been delivered by any Purchaser Related Party to Seller prior to the Indemnification Termination Date, the Required Amount shall be reduced to Zero Dollars ($0) on the date (the “Holdback Requirement End Date”) that the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the related Indemnification Claim expires in accordance with applicable law. If at any time the amount on deposit in the Holdback Escrow exceeds the Required Amount as of such date, Seller and Purchaser shall direct Title Company to disburse to Seller funds from the Holdback Escrow in the amount of such excess.
8.2 Breach by Purchaser.
(a) If this Agreement has not been terminated prior to Closing pursuant to any right of Seller or Purchaser to so terminate under the provisions hereof, all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing which are set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser at or prior to closing and Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to this Agreement for any reason (other than Seller’s default), Seller may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. Seller and Purchaser have made the provision in this Section 8.2(a) for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the amount of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Purchaser agree that these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a) above, the foregoing shall not in any way limit, affect or impair any of Purchaser’s indemnities as provided in Sections 4.2, 4.5,
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT |
|
| |
Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel |
|
|
|
5.1, 6.4, 10.2 or 10.20 of this Agreement, which Purchaser acknowledges are Surviving Obligations hereunder.

contained herein, each party’s obligations under this Section 10.19 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
10.20 Real Estate Tax Appeal.
10.20.1 From and after Closing, with respect to the 2011 and 2012 real estate taxes (payable in 2012 and 2013, respectively), Seller shall be entitled to control, commence, continue or settle any proceeding to contest the real estate taxes for such 2011 and 2012 real estate taxes with respect to the Property or any portion thereof (the “2011 Tax Contest” and “2012 Tax Contest”, respectively) and to any refund or abatement of such 2011 or 2012 real estate taxes awarded in any proceedings; provided, however, that Seller shall not agree to settle the 2011 Tax Contest or the 2012 Tax Contest in a manner that will (i) increase the assessment of the Property or decrease any settlement relating to real estate taxes for 2013 (except as provided below) or for any taxable periods subsequent to 2013 (“Other Taxable Periods”), or (ii) decrease the amount of any reduction or refund that would otherwise be payable for any Other Taxable Periods, without Purchaser’s prior written consent. With respect to the 2013 real estate taxes (payable in 2014), Seller alone shall continue to have the right to control, commence, continue or settle any proceeding to contest such 2013 real estate taxes with respect to the Property or any portion thereof (“2013 Tax Contest”); provided, however, that Seller shall not agree to settle the 2013 Tax Contest in a manner that will (1) increase the assessment of the Property or decrease any settlement relating to real estate taxes for any Other Taxable Periods, or (2) decrease the amount of any reduction or refund that would otherwise be payable for any Other Taxable Periods, without Purchaser’s prior written consent. Any refunds or abatements awarded in the 2013 Tax Contest shall be used first to reimburse the Seller for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Seller in undertaking the 2013 Tax Contest, and the remainder of such refunds or abatements shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date, and the Party receiving such refunds or abatements promptly shall pay such prorated amount due to the other Party.
10.20.2 Seller has already filed a 2011 Tax Contest and Seller shall make reasonable efforts to keep Purchaser apprised of the status of the 2011 Tax Contest, including the provision of any tax contest results (initial, non-final or final) or proposed settlements or refunds in a timely manner such that the Purchaser has a meaningful opportunity to provide input on the 2011 Tax Contest after Closing. Should Seller elect to undertake a 2012 Tax Contest or a 2013 Tax Contest, Seller shall make reasonable efforts to keep Purchaser apprised of the status of the 2012 Tax Contest or 2013 Tax Contest, as applicable, including the provision of any tax contest results (initial, non-final or final) or proposed settlements or refunds in a timely manner such that the Purchaser has a meaningful opportunity to provide input on the 2012 Tax Contest and/or 2013 Tax Contest, as applicable, to the Seller.
10.20.3 Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Seller in connection with any such 2011 Tax Contest, 2012 Tax Contest and/or 2013 Tax Contest, as applicable (at no cost or expense to the Purchaser other than any de minimis cost or expense or any cost or expense which Seller agrees in writing to reimburse) and to execute and deliver any documents and instruments reasonably requested by Seller in furtherance of the contest of such real estate taxes, so long as such documents and instruments to not impose any material additional costs, liabilities or obligations on Purchaser including, without limitation, paying over (or, if applicable, use reasonable efforts to cause Manager to pay over) to Seller any settlement, refund or other proceeds thereof received by Purchaser or Manager and/or, if requested by Seller, endorsing (or, if applicable, use reasonable efforts to cause Manager to endorse) any check or other instrument evidencing any such settlement, refund or other proceeds to the extent made payable to Seller, Manager or the Property to the extent Seller is entitled to same in accordance with this Section 10.20, net of amounts, if any, owed

by Seller to any tenant pursuant to any lease in effect during the applicable tax year (e.g. 2011 in the case of the 2011 Tax Contest).
10.20.4 The provisions of this Section 10.20 shall survive Closing.
10.21 3-05 Audit. Seller acknowledges that, if the Closing occurs, Purchaser will be required to prepare audited financial statements of the hotel located at the Property (the “Hotel”) for full-year 2012 and for the first nine months of 2013 in compliance with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which audit is required to be completed and filed with the SEC within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing (the “Audit”). Seller agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to promptly deliver to Purchaser all of the audit request materials listed on Exhibit T to the extent in Seller’s possession or control; provided, however, that, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, Seller shall deliver such materials not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing; and provided, further, Seller acknowledges and agrees to use its good faith efforts to also provide such additional information which is deemed material and reasonably necessary (as determined by Auditor (as defined below) in its good faith discretion) to enable Purchaser and its accountants to conduct the Audit. Upon Purchaser’s request after the Effective Date, Seller shall engage (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) McGladrey LLP or another nationally recognized audit firm selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser (“Auditor”) to commence and complete the Audit. In order to complete the Audit, the auditor will require a representation from the owners of the Hotel during the period of the Audit. Seller acknowledges that the indirect owner of the Hotel during the period of January 1, 2012 through June 28, 0000, XXXX Xxxxxxx Mezz, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Xxxxxx”) (i.e., the predecessor-in-interest to the current member of Seller as owner of the direct membership interests in Seller), has denied Seller’s request to provide the representation that Auditor would require to complete an audit of such period. On November 14, 2013, Purchaser submitted to the SEC a request to complete alternative audit procedures (the “SEC Relief Request”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit V. If, prior to Closing, Purchaser receives written notification (the “SEC Denial Notice”) from the SEC denying the SEC Relief Request (a copy of which SEC Denial Notice Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller) or otherwise has not obtained approval from the SEC as it relates to the SEC Relief Request, and Seller cannot obtain an agreement from Xxxxxx to provide the representation that would be required by the Auditor in order to complete the Audit, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller on or before the date that is the earlier of (a) three (3) Business Days after Purchaser receives the SEC Denial Notice, if applicable, or (b) the Closing Date; in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money at that time held by the Title Company, together with all interest accruing thereon, shall immediately be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations; provided, however, that in such event, in addition to Purchaser’s receipt of the Xxxxxxx Money, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser in an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of all of Purchaser’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, including but not limited to, costs incurred in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence activities and Purchaser legal fees (less any amount owed to the Auditor for the Audit, to the extent such amounts remain unpaid by Purchaser); and provided further, however, that in no event will Seller’s liability with respect to such reimbursement obligation exceed $150,000 in the aggregate. In connection with and in furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent required by Auditor to perform the Audit, Seller covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Auditor an audit representation letter for the period of time since the current holders of direct and indirect ownership interests in Seller have held such interests (i.e. from June 29, 2012 through September 30, 2013) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T (the “Audit Representation Letter”), as may be modified in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and the Auditor to account for any issues identified during the Audit.

FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT
(XXXXXXX MONEY)

Ladies and Gentlemen: |
Reference is made to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 25, 2013 (the “Agreement”), between WSRH CHICAGO, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Seller”) and CWI CHICAGO HOTEL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “Purchaser”).
Purchaser and Seller have agreed to select you to serve as “Escrow Agent” with respect to the initial xxxxxxx money deposit of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) to be made by Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement (such deposit and any additional deposit deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to the Agreement, together with all accrued interest thereon, being hereinafter referred to as the “Deposit”). The purpose of this letter agreement is to prescribe instructions governing the services of Escrow Agent with respect to the Deposit.
1. Purchaser and Seller hereby engage you to serve as Escrow Agent with respect to the Deposit made by Purchaser pursuant to the Agreement, and Escrow Agent hereby accepts such engagement.
2. Upon receipt of the Deposit (or any portion thereof) from Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall acknowledge said receipt in writing to Purchaser and Seller and invest the proceeds thereof in the “permitted investments” described below.
3. For the purposes hereof, “permitted investments” refers to investments in either: (i) U.S. government or government guaranteed securities with a maturity date no greater than thirty (30) days; or (ii) account(s), or certificate(s) of deposit with a maturity of no greater than thirty (30) days, opened with or issued by a bank or other recognized institutional depository whose accounts are insured by the FDIC.
4. (a) If settlement is completed under the Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller as part of the Purchase Price, as required by the Agreement.
(b) In the event that either Seller or Purchaser terminates the Agreement pursuant to the exercise of any right of termination as permitted by the provisions of the Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to the party identified in the Agreement as being the party to receive the Deposit (subject to Section 5 below).
EXHIBIT F to PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel |
|
|
5. In the event that Escrow Agent shall receive an instruction (hereinafter the “Instruction”), with respect to the Deposit or any part thereof, from the Seller but not from the Purchaser, or from the Purchaser and not from the Seller (the party giving the Instruction being hereinafter referred to as the “Instructing Party” and the party which did not give the Instruction being hereinafter referred to as the “Non-Instructing Party”), Escrow Agent shall deliver or transmit to the Non-Instructing Party a copy of the Instruction received from the Instructing Party. Unless the Non-Instructing Party notifies Escrow Agent in writing within five (5) days after the Non-Instructing Party’s receipt of the Instruction that Escrow Agent is not to comply with the Instruction, Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with the Instruction. If, however, the Non-Instructing Party does notify Escrow Agent within such five (5) day period that Escrow Agent is not to comply with the Instruction, Escrow Agent shall not act in compliance therewith, but may thereafter either:
(a) act solely in accordance with: (i) a new Instruction signed jointly by the Seller and the Purchaser; (ii) a separate Instruction of like tenor from the Seller and the Purchaser; or (iii) a certified copy of a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to which Escrow Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Escrow Agent that such judgment is final and beyond appeal; or
(b) upon written notice to Seller and Purchaser, deposit the Deposit with the registry of the Federal District Court for the Federal District, or applicable state court, where the Land (as defined in the Agreement) is located, and in such event all liability and responsibility of Escrow Agent shall terminate upon such deposit having been made.
6. Escrow Agent may rely upon the genuineness or authenticity of any document tendered to it by Seller or Purchaser and shall be under no duty of independent inquiry with respect to any facts or circumstances recited therein. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any damage, liability or loss arising out of or in connection with the services rendered by Escrow Agent pursuant to the Agreement or this letter agreement, except for any damage, liability or loss resulting from the willful misconduct or negligent conduct of the Escrow Agent or any of its officers or employees.
7. All notices delivered pursuant hereto shall be in writing, shall be delivered to the addresses identified below, and shall be deemed to have been duly given/received: (i) on the date delivered if delivered personally; (ii) the next Business Day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier service when marked for delivery on the next Business Day; (iii) two (2) Business Days after mailing if sent by registered or certified United States mail, properly addressed and postage pre-paid; or (iv) upon completion of transmission (which is confirmed by telephone or a statement generated by the transmitting machine) if sent by facsimile to compatible equipment in the possession of the recipient, and addressed to the party for whom it is intended, at the address hereinafter set forth:

Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP.
All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements for which U.S. GAAP requires adjustment or disclosure have been adjusted or disclosed.
The effects of all known actual or possible litigation and claims have been accounted for and disclosed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We are not aware of any uncorrected misstatements in the accounting records underlying the financial statements.

We have disclosed to you the identity of the Hotel’s related parties and all the related-party relationships and transactions of which we are aware.
We are aware of no significant deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect the Hotel’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data.
There have been no communications from regulatory agencies concerning noncompliance with, or deficiencies in, financial reporting practices.
We have complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the financial statements in the event of noncompliance.
