Except as expressly set forth in Article III, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Submission Matters are provided without warranty or representation whatsoever.

Fee Owner, Operating Lessee and/or Manager shall have the right to have a representative present during any such inspections. If Purchaser desires to do any invasive testing at the Property, Purchaser shall do so only after notifying Seller and obtaining Seller’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be subject to reasonable terms and conditions as may be proposed by Seller.

▪(e) Within two (2) days following the Effective Date (if same has not already been ordered), Seller shall order from the Title Company for delivery to Purchaser and Seller, a title insurance commitment issued by the Title Company covering the Real Property, binding the Title Company to issue the Owner’s Title Policy together with legible copies (to the extent such legible copies are available) of all documents identified in such title insurance commitment as exceptions to title together with municipal lien search results which shall include permit status (collectively, the “Title Commitment”), with respect to the state of title to the Property. Purchaser shall order the Updated Survey within ten (10) days after the Effective Date. No later than seven (7) days prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller of any matters shown on the Survey, Updated Survey or identified in the Title Commitment that Purchaser is unwilling to accept (collectively, “Purchaser’s Objections”). If any of Purchaser’s Objections consist of Monetary Title Encumbrances, then, to that extent, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to or at Closing Seller shall be obligated to either (i) pay and discharge, (ii) bond against in a manner legally sufficient to cause to be released, or (iii) indemnify or escrow money with or otherwise deliver such instruments and take such actions as required by the Title Company to cause the Title Company to delete or insure over, such Monetary Title Encumbrances such that the Title Company will issue the Title Policy without exception for such Monetary Title Encumbrances (individually and collectively, a “Monetary Encumbrance Release”). For such purposes, Seller may use all or a portion of the Purchase Price to effectuate a Monetary Encumbrance Release with respect to any such Monetary Title Encumbrances at the Closing. Other than as specifically required in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expenses or incur any liability to cure any Purchaser’s Objections other than with respect to Monetary Title Encumbrances. Seller may notify Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of notice of Purchaser’s Objections (“Seller’s Response Period”) whether Seller, in its sole discretion, agrees to attempt to cure any of such Purchaser’s Objections (“Seller’s Response”). If Xxxxxx agrees in Xxxxxx’s Response to attempt to
13
cure any of such Purchaser’s Objections (which shall mean that the Purchaser's Objection(s) shall not appear on the Owner’s Policy), Seller shall use good faith efforts (without the obligation to expend any money or incur any liability except with regards to the release of Monetary Encumbrances which Seller shall cause to be released) to cure such Purchaser’s Objections which Seller has agreed to attempt to cure on or before the Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and the Title Company. If Seller is unable to cure such Purchaser’s Objections by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, on the Closing Date, elect (1) to waive such Purchaser’s Objections without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (2) to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Seller does not provide Seller’s Response to Purchaser within Seller’s Response Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s Objections. If Seller elects in Seller’s Response not to attempt to cure all or any number of Purchaser’s Objections or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s Objections pursuant to the preceding sentence, within five (5) days after the expiration of Seller’s Response Period, Purchaser shall elect (1) to waive any Purchaser’s Objections which Seller has elected or is deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (2) to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser does not provide to Seller notice of Purchaser’s election under the preceding sentence within such five (5) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) of the preceding sentence. Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall not, after the date of this Agreement, voluntarily subject the Real Property to any liens, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other title matters or seek any zoning changes without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All title matters revealed by the Title Commitment, Survey and Updated Survey (or any update obtained by Purchaser) which are not objected to by Purchaser as provided above or below (other than Monetary Title Encumbrances which will be covered by a Monetary Encumbrance Release at Closing), or which are waived or deemed waived by Purchaser as provided above, shall all be deemed “Permitted Title Exceptions.”
If any update to the Title Commitment or Updated Survey disclose any additional exceptions to title or survey defects or other matters (“Additional Title Matters”) not previously disclosed on the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey as of the date of Purchaser’s Objections, which Additional Title Matters are not acceptable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to make objections to such Additional Title Matters (“Additional Title Objections”) within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such updated Title Commitment and/or Updated Survey (as the case may be). The absence of a timely notice by Xxxxxxxxx of Additional Title Objections with respect to any Additional Title Matters in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser’s acceptance of such Additional Title Matters and same shall be Permitted Exceptions. If any of Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections consist of Monetary Title Encumbrances, then, to that extent, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to effectuate a Monetary Encumbrance Release with respect to any such Monetary Title Encumbrances at the Closing.
14
Seller may notify Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of notice of Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections (“Seller’s Additional Title Response Period”) whether Seller, in its sole discretion, agrees to attempt to cure any of such Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections (“Seller’s Additional Title Response”). If Seller agrees in Seller’s Additional Title Response to attempt to cure any of such Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections (which shall mean that the Purchaser's Additional Title Objection(s) shall not appear on the Owner’s Policy), Seller shall use good faith efforts (without the obligation to expend any money or incur any liability except with regards to the release of Monetary Encumbrances which Seller shall cause to be released) to cure such Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections which Seller has agreed to attempt to cure on or before the Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. If Seller is unable to cure such Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, on the Closing Date, elect (1) to waive such Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (2) to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Seller does not provide Seller’s Additional Title Response to Purchaser within Seller’s Additional Title Response Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections. If Seller elects in Seller’s Additional Title Response not to attempt to cure all or any number of Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections pursuant to the preceding sentence, within five (5) days after the expiration of Seller’s Additional Title Response Period, Purchaser shall elect (1) to waive any Purchaser’s Additional Title Objections which Seller has elected or is deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (2) to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser does not provide to Seller notice of Purchaser’s election under the preceding sentence within such five (5) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) of the preceding sentence. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close out open, suspended or expired permits and remedy violations and obtain releases of municipal liens before Closing, but in any event Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay prior to the Closing or credit to Purchaser at Closing any and all penalties, interest and/or fines imposed on or before the Closing in connection with any violations and any other costs and expenses of closing out open, suspended or expired permits, remedying violations and obtaining releases of municipal liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to cure, and Purchaser shall have no termination right hereunder, for any Additional Title Matters caused solely by Purchaser or Purchaser Parties.

Any revenue received or expense incurred by Seller or by Purchaser with respect to the Property after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree on the closing statement allocations on the Closing Date, the Closing shall occur and a preliminary closing statement shall be signed with respect to such amounts and issues that are agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. With respect to any closing statement amounts or issues that are not agreed upon at Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall thereafter work in good faith to resolve, allocate or prorate such amounts or issues; provided that if such amounts or issues are not fully agreed upon and paid within ten (10) days after the Closing, then, in such event, such amounts or issues shall be submitted to an independent certified public accountant with a hospitality practice reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, for final resolution, and Seller and Xxxxxxxxx agree to be bound by the determination of such accountant. The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the services of such accountant shall be borne and paid equally by Purchaser and Seller. The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive the Closing.
◦7.7 Safe Deposit Boxes. On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Manager to make available to Purchaser at the Hotel all receipts and agreements in Manager’s possession relating to all safe deposit boxes in use at the Hotel, other than safes or lockboxes, if any, located inside individual guest rooms in the Hotel. From and after the Closing, Seller and Manager shall be relieved of any and all responsibility in connection with each said box, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller, Manager and any Affiliate thereof and hold them harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability, claim, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) with respect to such safety deposit box arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the Closing.
◦7.8 Inventory of Baggage. The representatives of Seller and/or Manager and of Purchaser shall prepare an inventory of baggage at the Hotel as of 12:00 noon on the Closing Date (which inventory of baggage shall be binding on all parties thereto) of (i) all luggage, valises and trunks checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel, (ii) parcels, laundry, valet packages and other property of guests checked or left in the care of the Hotel by guests then or formerly in the Hotel (excluding, however, property in Hotel safe deposit boxes), (iii) all luggage or other property of guests retained by Seller as security for any unpaid accounts receivable, and (iv) all items contained in the Hotel lost and found. Purchaser shall be responsible from and after the Closing Date for all baggage and other items listed in such inventory of baggage, and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller, Manager and any Affiliate thereof harmless from and against any claim, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable
34
attorneys’ fees) incurred by them with respect thereto. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any other liability or claims with respect to such inventory of baggage arising prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the Closing.
◦7.9 Acquisition and Payment for Inventory. Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser and Xxxxxxxxx agrees to purchase from Seller the Inventory, without additional consideration (other than payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement).
◦7.10 Assumption. At Closing, Purchaser shall assume all (i) obligations which Purchaser expressly assumes under this Agreement, (ii) Advance Bookings, (iii) liabilities for which Purchaser receives a credit to the Purchase Price on the closing statement or pursuant to any post-closing adjustments, and (iv) obligations under Permitted Title Exceptions which accrue to the period from and after the Closing Date, or which accrue to the period prior to the Closing Date and for which Purchaser receives a credit to the Purchase Price on the closing statement or pursuant to any post-closing adjustments.

•ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
◦8.1 Fire or Other Casualty.
▪(a) Insured Loss. Seller agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any fire or other casualty to the Property costing more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) to repair and occurring between the Effective Date and the Closing Date of which Seller has knowledge. If, prior to Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is fully insured (without regard to deductibles) and would cost not more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and require less than 180 days to repair, then neither party shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase or sell the Property by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any insurance proceeds (except use and occupancy insurance, rent loss and business interruption insurance, and any similar insurance for the period preceding the Closing Date) that may be payable to Seller on account of any such fire or other casualty, to the extent such proceeds have not been previously expended or are otherwise required to reimburse Seller for actual expenditures of restoration, plus Seller shall credit the amount of any deductibles under any policies related to such proceeds to the Purchase Price. If any such damage due to fire or other casualty is insured and would cost in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or require more than 180 days to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty referred to in this Section 8.1, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. Should Purchaser elect to proceed to Closing notwithstanding the amount of the insured loss or the time required for repairs, the Closing shall
35
take place without abatement of the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Purchaser the insurance proceeds and grant to Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of the applicable deductible.
▪(b) Uninsured Loss. If, prior to Closing, any Property is damaged by fire or other casualty which is uninsured and would cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) to repair, then Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice given to the Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of damage or casualty or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, in which case the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released of all further obligations hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If the estimated amount to repair such uninsured casualty is less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), Seller shall provide Purchaser with a credit to the Purchase Price at Closing for the estimated amount to repair such casualty, in which event Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the estimated amount to repair such casualty.
◦8.2 Condemnation. After the Effective Date, Xxxxxx agrees to give Purchaser prompt notice of any notice it receives of any taking or threat of taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Real Property. If such taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of such Real Property, the Purchaser may terminate its obligations under this Agreement to purchase the Property by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Seller has given Purchaser the notice of taking referred to in this Section 8.2, or on the Closing Date, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this Section 8.2, a taking will materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel if it leaves remaining a balance of the Real Property in a condition which may not reasonably be anticipated to be economically operated for the purposes and in the manner in which the Real Property was operated prior to such taking. If Purchaser exercises its option to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. If, prior to the Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property that does not materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of the Property, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations to purchase the Property under this Agreement
36
by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s interest in any condemnation award or payments in lieu of condemnation which may be payable to Seller on account of any such condemnation or threat thereof and, at Closing, Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds or payments in lieu of condemnation received by Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (i) any amounts reasonably expended by Seller in collecting such sums, (ii) any amounts reasonably used by Seller to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation, and (iii) any amounts which are reasonably allocated to lost earnings or other damages or losses (other than unrepaired property damages) reasonably allocated or attributed to the period of time prior to Closing. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2, Seller shall notify Purchaser in advance regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
◦8.3 Broker. The parties acknowledge that Xxxxxx has been the procuring cause of this Agreement. It shall be the obligation of Seller to pay Broker its commission, when, as and if, and only if, the transaction contemplated hereby actually closes, in accordance with a separate agreement between the Broker and Seller. There is no other real estate broker involved in this transaction. Purchaser warrants and represents to Seller that Purchaser has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Purchaser been introduced to the Property or to Seller by any other real estate broker, and 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. In like manner, Seller warrants and represents to Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Seller been introduced to Purchaser by any other real estate broker, and 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. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
◦8.4 Bulk Sale. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that they do not intend to comply with and have agreed to waive the provisions of any statutory bulk sale or similar requirements applicable to the transaction to be effected by this Agreement.
◦8.5 Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter provided, Purchaser and Seller and their Affiliates shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and all documents or information disclosed to or made available to or discovered by each party in
37
connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Submission Matters) confidential and such information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall make any public announcements hereof unless and until the Closing occurs unless the other first reasonably approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose unless and until the Closing occurs the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or such other documents or information, except to persons who, in the reasonable business judgment of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, “need to know” for the purpose of evaluating or effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and who are instructed to keep such information confidential, such as their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential lessees and bankers and such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction (collectively, “Representatives”); provided, however, that information or documents shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5 if, not otherwise in violation of this Section 8.5, such information or documents, (i) were or become(s) generally available to the public, or (ii) were or become(s) available to Purchaser or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its Affiliates or Manager. Upon full execution of this Agreement and if the Closing occurs, the parties may either make a joint press release, or each party may make an individual press release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Seller is, or is an affiliate of, a REIT, and the REIT has and will seek to sell shares to the general public; consequently, Seller shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose any information regarding the transaction required by law or as determined to be necessary or appropriate by Seller or Seller’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Seller or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or at any time following the expiration of the Study Period, Seller may make a press release or file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission information regarding the Transaction. Seller and Purchaser and their Representatives are cautioned that United States securities laws restrict the purchase and sale of securities by anyone who possesses non-public information about the issue of such securities. Accordingly, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor its Representatives may buy or sell any of the securities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates so long as any of them is in possession of any material non-public information about the Seller or any of its Affiliates, including information contained in or derived from confidential information. The terms of this Section 8.5 shall supersede any prior confidentiality agreements executed by Seller, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries, to the extent such confidentiality agreements relate or refer, directly or indirectly, to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8.5 relating to press releases shall survive the Closing and all the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive a termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years after such termination; provided, however, that any liabilities or obligations of either Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, parents, or subsidiaries that may have accrued or arisen under any confidentiality agreements prior to the Effective Date shall survive such confidentiality agreements being superseded hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing occurs, the restrictions on the disclosure by Purchaser of non-public information discovered by, provided to or otherwise obtained by Purchaser and its respective agents in connection with the Property shall no longer apply.
38
If either Seller or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives is required by any subpoena, interrogatories, request for production, or other legal process or by any Applicable Laws to disclose any confidential information, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, will give the other party prompt written notice of the requirement and will cooperate with the other party so that the other party, at its expense, may seek an appropriate protective order. In the absence of a protective order, the party required to disclose, including any Representatives, may disclose only such confidential information as may be necessary to avoid any penalty, sanction, or other material adverse consequence, and the party required to disclose will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any confidential information so disclosed.
Seller and Purchaser stipulate that the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its respective Affiliates or Representatives may cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party for which damages may not constitute an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that any attempted, threatened, or actual breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by one party or its Affiliates or Representatives may be enjoined by an appropriate court order or judgment. The parties waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security as a condition to such court order or judgment. Injunctive relief will not be the sole remedy of the non-breaching party for a breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5, and all legal and equitable remedies will continue to be available to the non-breaching party. If the non-breaching party is the prevailing party in any litigation relating to the breach of the provisions of this Section 8.5 by the other party or its Affiliates or Representatives, the non-breaching party will be entitled to recover (in addition to any damages or other relief granted) its reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such litigation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, any and all obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein (the “Confidentiality Obligations”), as they relate to the transactions and events contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”), shall not apply to the “structure or tax aspects” (as that phrase is used in Section 1.6011-4T(b)(3) [or any successor provision] of the Treasury Regulations [the “Confidentiality Regulation”] promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the Transaction; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Obligations nevertheless shall apply at a given time to any and all items of information not required to be freely disclosable at such time in order for the Transaction not to be treated as “offered under conditions of confidentiality” within the meaning of the Confidentiality Regulation.
◦8.6 Liquor Licenses. Purchaser shall have the sole responsibility (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) for obtaining the transfer of all alcoholic beverage licenses or the issuance of new alcoholic beverage licenses and permits, (the “Liquor Licenses”), issued by the State of Florida’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco (“DABT”). Purchaser, at its cost and expense, shall submit all necessary applications and other materials to the appropriate Governmental Authority and take such other actions to effect the transfer of the Liquor Licenses or issuance of new alcoholic beverage licenses and permits as of the Closing. Seller will cooperate in all reasonable respects in connection with the Liquor Licenses (which shall include, without limitation, timely supplying information in Seller’s possession that is reasonably
39
requested by Xxxxxxxxx and executing documents, in each such instance as may be required to consummate any such transfer). Seller makes no representations or warranties as to whether Purchaser will qualify with DABT for the transfer of the Liquor Licenses or the issuance of new liquor licenses. It is the intent of the parties that all such transfers or issuances of new Liquor Licenses be effective as of Closing. The transfer by Seller of any Liquor Licenses shall be free and clear of all obligations, liens, mortgages and encumbrances of any nature or kind, in accordance with applicable law; provided that such transfer and cooperation of Seller (i) shall not create any potential liability for Seller and (ii) shall be at no cost or expense to Seller. Purchaser agrees to pay all fees, charges, and related costs in connection with the transfer of the Liquor Licenses and for the issuance of the Temporary Liquor Licenses (defined below). Purchaser shall complete, execute, and file with the DABT all necessary applications (a) for transfer of the Liquor Licenses to Purchaser or its designee, and (b) obtain, no later than the Closing Date, temporary liquor licenses in the name of Purchaser or its designee (the “Temporary Liquor Licenses”). Promptly upon or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller agrees to furnish to Purchaser a Department of Revenue Clearance (Section 13 of DBPR ABT-6002 form), fully executed by an individual on file with DABT authorized to execute on behalf of Seller, for each of the Liquor Licenses, for Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee to obtain DOR’s completion of the Sales Tax portion of Section 5 of the ABT-6002 transfer form for each Liquor License. Should DOR refuse to complete the Sales Tax portion of Section 5 of the ABT-6002 transfer form for the Liquor Licenses due to any outstanding taxes or assessments, or delinquent returns related to Seller’s tax accounts with DOR associated with the operation of the Property, and not due to any reasons associated with Purchaser, Seller shall obtain and provide to Purchaser a Certificate of Compliance from the DOR issued under Subsection 213.758(4)(a)1.a. of the Florida Statutes for Seller’s tax accounts with DOR associated with the operation of the Property, no later than seven (7) days prior to Closing, evidencing the necessary clearance for Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee to obtain DOR’s completion of the Sales Tax portion of Section 5 of the ABT-6002 transfer form for the Liquor Licenses. Three (3) weeks prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, an Affidavit of Transferor (Section 10 of DBPR ABT-6002 form), fully executed by an individual on file with the DABT authorized to execute on behalf of Seller, for each Liquor License. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the issuance of new liquor licenses, the issuance of Temporary Liquor Licenses, or the transfer of the existing Liquor Licenses to Purchaser shall not be a condition to Closing. If upon Closing Purchaser has not obtained the Temporary Liquor Licenses, despite commercially reasonable good faith efforts by Purchaser, then, subject to Applicable Laws, Seller shall (not to include by Seller the expenditure of any money or guaranty of any obligation) cause the holder of the existing liquor license (the “Existing Permittee”) to enter into an interim liquor agreement (an “Interim Liquor Agreement”) or any other such license agreements, management agreements and/or other interim agreements, with Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee as may be reasonably necessary for the continuation of the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel after the Closing and before such time as Purchaser obtains the Temporary Liquor License; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Existing Permittee harmless from any liability, damages, costs, expenses or claims encountered in connection with such operations during said period of time, and Purchaser shall procure and pay for dram shop liability insurance (in amounts and with deductibles as previously maintained by Seller) naming Purchaser and Seller and Existing Permittee as insureds thereunder, and (ii) the
40
obligation of Seller to cooperate and keep open the liquor facilities of the Hotel shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, or earlier, if Purchaser obtains the Temporary Liquor License at an earlier date. At such time after Closing as the Temporary Liquor License is obtained, Existing Permittee or Seller, as applicable, will convey, at no additional costs, all alcoholic beverages to Purchaser by a conveyance document in form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser and in accordance with the requirements of the Applicable Laws. Seller and Purchaser shall use good faith efforts to agree on the form of the Interim Liquor Agreement during the Study Period. This Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing.
◦8.7 Seller’s Accounts Receivable. It is expressly agreed by and between Purchaser and Seller that Seller is not hereby agreeing to sell or cause to be sold to Purchaser, and Purchaser is not hereby agreeing to purchase any of Seller’s accounts receivable (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Rooms Ledger). All of Seller’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Seller subsequent to the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall hold any funds received by Purchaser as payment of such accounts receivable in trust, if Purchaser actually collects any such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Seller at the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to any Hotel or other Property revenues received by Purchaser on and after the Closing from any payors owing any such accounts receivable for periods occurring prior to the Closing unless (i) such payors shall be current in their accounts receivable obligations for periods occurring from and after the Closing or (ii) such payor identifies that such payment is made in connection with an invoice or stay occurring prior to the Closing. The provisions of this Section 8.7 shall survive the Closing.
◦8.8 Loan Assignment Cooperation. If requested by Purchaser in writing, Seller shall make a request to Seller’s existing lender to assign any of Seller’s existing loan to Purchaser’s lender, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller’s existing lender to assign the existing applicable loan documents; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any such assignment be a condition precedent to Closing under this Agreement, and in no event shall the failure to obtain such lender’s consent and/or consummate such assignment be a default under this Agreement. In the event such request is made, (i) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to facilitate such assignment, (ii) Purchaser’s or existing lender’s counsel, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, shall prepare the documentation for such assignment, and (iii) Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all of Seller’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including its actual attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller in connection with such loan assignment. Seller shall be responsible for the repayment at Closing of its existing loan to its existing lender.
•ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS
DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS
◦9.1 Default by Seller/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Purchaser cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing (unless the failure to satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Purchaser or its Affiliates under
41
this Agreement, or is otherwise within the reasonable control of Purchaser), and, if curable, if Seller fails to cure any such matter or satisfy such condition within ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Purchaser (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein) (which ten (10) business day or other such time periods shall, if necessary, automatically extend the Closing Date to the expiration date of such ten (10) business day or other such time period), or upon the occurrence of any other event that would entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, and (ii) (A) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser upon demand for the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates to third parties (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ attorneys, consultants and lenders) as a result of its due diligence and negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby not to exceed Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) in the aggregate; provided that this Section 9.1(a)(ii)(A) shall not apply if the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1(a), (b), (c) are satisfied and, despite Seller’s compliance with both Sections 2.4(e) and 6.9, the conditions set forth in Section 5.1(d) or Section 5.1(e) are not satisfied, or (b) if the condition which has not been satisfied represents an intentional and willful breach by Seller of its obligations hereunder, then Seller shall reimburse Purchaser upon demand for the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates to third parties (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ attorneys, consultants and lenders) as a result of its due diligence and negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby not to exceed Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) in the aggregate, and (iii) all other rights and obligations of Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; or (b) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing with no reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, at the Closing, Seller fails to comply in any material respect with any of its obligations contained in Section 7.2 or 7.4 (the “Closing Obligations”), and if all conditions precedent to Seller’s obligations hereunder have been waived or satisfied (other than any conditions precedent which are not satisfied due to the default by Seller under this Agreement or any other agreements to which Seller is a party), Purchaser shall have, in addition to Purchaser’s remedies contained in the preceding sentence, the option to waive all other actions, rights, or claims for damages for the failure to perform such Closing Obligations (other than costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement and its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement or Closing), and to bring an equitable action to enforce the Closing Obligations; provided, (i) Purchaser shall provide written notice of Purchaser’s intention to enforce the Closing Obligations by specific performance and Seller shall not have cured performance of the Closing Obligations within ten (10) business days following delivery of such notice, and (ii) Purchaser’s suit for specific performance shall be filed against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located, on or before sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, failing which, Purchaser shall be barred from enforcing this Agreement by specific performance and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit as provided herein. In the event
42
Purchaser elects to seek specific performance Purchaser may at any time thereafter elect to abandon the remedy of specific performance and instead terminate this Agreement under this Section.
◦9.2 Default by Purchaser/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Seller (other than a default by Purchaser) cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing (unless the failure to satisfy such condition is caused by the default of Seller under this Agreement, or is otherwise within the reasonable control of Seller or its Affiliates), and if Purchaser fails to satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (b) to waive its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If Purchaser defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser fails to cure any such default within the earlier of (i) the Closing, or (ii) ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Seller, then Seller’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the Deposit and to retain its right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to any notice and right to cure in the event it wrongfully fails to proceed to Closing as required by this Agreement. Seller and Xxxxxxxxx agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Seller would sustain as a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree that, Seller shall receive the Deposit and retain the right to enforce the indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, as full and complete liquidated damages and as Seller’s sole remedy. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
◦9.3 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
◦9.4 Limitation of Liability. Except in connection with a breach of Section 8.5 for which the parties may be liable for consequential damages, the liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by such party shall be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each party hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party consequential, punitive, exemplary, and speculative damages except to the extent owed to third parties. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not limit or affect the rights of Seller to receive the Deposit as liquidated damages as and when provided in this Agreement.

To be effective hereunder, any assignment by Purchaser hereunder, even one to an Affiliate of Purchaser, must be accompanied by a fully executed and effective assignment and assumption agreement provided to Seller no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date.

At the Closing, Seller shall deposit in escrow with Escrow Agent a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of $250,000 (such amount, together with any and all interest earned thereon, shall be referred to herein as the “Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds”) to secure, on a non-exclusive basis, Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 10.12 of this Agreement (including in respect of proration adjustments), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.12 of this Agreement. The Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds shall be held by Escrow Agent, in escrow, in accordance with the terms and provisions of an escrow agreement to be entered into at Closing by and among Seller, Purchaser and Escrow Agent (the “Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Agreement”). The Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Agreement shall be in a form consistent with this Section 10.24 and reasonably agreed by Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser shall have the right, from time to time after the Closing Date, but prior to the date that three (3) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow End Date”), to deliver to Seller and Escrow Agent written notice(s) of any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.12 of this Agreement (collectively, “Claims” and each such notice a “Claim Notice”), which Claim Notice shall set forth Purchaser’s good faith estimate of actual damages incurred as a result of such Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.12 (“Claimed Damages”) and request that Escrow Agent release to Purchaser a portion of the Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds equal to the Claimed Damages. In the event that Seller sends a written objection to Escrow Agent and Purchaser within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of such Claim Notice(s) from Purchaser objecting to the payment of the Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds equal to the Claimed Damages to Purchaser, then Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds equal to the Claimed Damages until the disposition of the Claimed Damages has been (i) settled pursuant to a written settlement agreement entered into between Purchaser and Seller, in which case the Claimed Damages shall be disbursed in accordance with the instructions set forth in such settlement agreement or (ii) adjudicated pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment with respect thereto rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case the Claimed Damages shall be disbursed in accordance with such final non-appealable judgment. Following the Escrow End Date, in the event that (a) Purchaser has not delivered any Claim Notices to Escrow Agent and Seller, or (b) Purchaser has delivered a Claim Notice(s) to Escrow Agent and Seller setting forth aggregate Claimed Damages less than the total amount of the Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds, then Seller shall have the right to send a direction letter to Escrow Agent and Purchaser requesting the return of, in the case of clause (a) above, the full amount of the Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds, or in the case of clause (b) above, the amount of the Post-Closing Indemnity Escrow Funds less the aggregate Claimed Damages.
