occupancy and governmental approvals to the extent the same relate to the Land, Improvements,

2.2 Sales/Use Taxes. Purchaser shall file all necessary tax returns with respect to taxes
imposed or due solely by reason of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and, to the

Purchase and Sale Agreements, and the transactions contemplated herein and therein, have been
approved (collectively, “Board Approval”) by the Board of Trust Managers of Crescent Real Estate
Equities Company or the applicable committees thereof (collectively, the “Board”). Seller will
promptly provide Purchaser with written notice that Board Approval has been granted or denied.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement,
11
in the event Seller fails to notify Purchaser that it has obtained Board Approval by March 12,
2007 (the “Board Approval Deadline Date”), or prior thereto notifies Purchaser that Board
Approval has been denied, then either Seller or Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written
notice to the other given within five (5) days following the Board Approval Deadline Date (but
only if Board Approval has not been obtained by the date of such notice), and this Agreement shall
terminate except for the provisions hereof which expressly survive termination. From the Effective
Date until such time as this Agreement is terminated, Seller agrees on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates to deal solely with Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Asset and during such
time neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller will negotiate with, solicit or entertain offers
from any third party with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Purchaser shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money, in Current Funds, to the Title Company. Seller agrees
that the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refundable at any time prior to expiration of the Inspection Period
if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(c) hereof for any
reason as determined in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. After the expiration of the
Inspection Period, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be payable to either Purchaser or Seller in accordance
with this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with the Title Company on or

4.2 Application and Interest. Purchaser and Seller agree that the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
credited towards the Purchase Price if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement close. In
the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason by Purchaser prior to expiration of
the Inspection Period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Title Company is
authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser on or before the second (2nd) Business Day
following delivery by the Purchaser to the Title Company and Seller of written notice from the
Purchaser of such termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or Seller after the
expiration of the Inspection Period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Title
Company is authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser or Seller on (or before based on
joint written direction of the Parties) the tenth (10th) Business Day following receipt by the
Title Company and the non-terminating Party of written notice from the terminating Party of such

(9th) Business Day following receipt by the Title Company and the non-terminating Party
of written notice from the terminating Party of such termination, notifies the Title Company that
the non-terminating party disputes the right of terminating party to receive the Xxxxxxx Money,
then the Title Company shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money in escrow and may, in the Title Company’s
discretion, interplead the Xxxxxxx Money into a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction
in the county or district in which the Xxxxxxx Money has been deposited, and all attorneys’ fees
and costs and the Title Company’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such interpleader
shall be assessed against the Party that is not awarded the Xxxxxxx Money. All interest earned on
the Xxxxxxx Money is part of the Xxxxxxx Money, to be applied or disposed of in the same manner as
the Xxxxxxx Money under this Agreement and shall be applied against the Purchase Price at Closing.
By their entry into this Agreement, the Parties agree that the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.2 shall constitute their respective written instructions to the Title Company to

days after the Effective Date (or, with respect to insurance policies, as soon as they become
available), in each case by means of posting the same on the “CrescentConnect” website to which
Purchaser was granted access by Seller. In addition to the foregoing, as soon as reasonably
possible after the Effective Date, Seller shall provide to Purchaser year-to-date unaudited
monthly income statements for the Asset, beginning January 2007, as the same become available, and
Seller shall provide to Purchaser promptly upon request by
14
Purchaser such additional due diligence materials relating to the Property which are
reasonably requested by Purchaser and are in Seller’s possession or control, including audited
financial statements for the Asset, if available. All such additional due diligence documents and
materials provided by Seller to Purchaser after the Effective Date shall be provided by means of
posting the same on the “CrescentConnect” website and shall be referred to collectively as the
“Additional Property Materials.” Except as and to the extent otherwise expressly provided
in Seller’s representations and warranties in Article VI of this Agreement, Seller
expressly disclaims any and all liability for representations or warranties, express or implied,
statements of fact and other matters contained in the Property Information and/or the Additional
Property Materials, or for omissions from the Property Information and/or the Additional Property
Materials, or in any other written or oral communications transmitted or made available to
Purchaser. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Seller’s representations and warranties in
Article VI of this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller has not
undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Property
Information and/or the Additional Property Materials, and have provided the Property Information
and the Additional Property Materials solely as an accommodation to Purchaser. With respect to the
Property, Purchaser shall rely solely upon (A) Purchaser’s review of the Property Information and
the Additional Property Materials, (B) Purchaser’s inspections of the Property pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) below, (C) the express warranties and representations of Seller set forth in
Article VI of this Agreement, and (D) the express covenants of Seller set forth in Article
XIII of this Agreement. In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Information, the
Additional Property Materials or any other information, Seller has not waived any privilege or
claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third-party benefits or relationships of any
kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created. The provisions of this
Section 5.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Closing.
5.2 Title and Surveys.
(a) As noted in Section 5.1 above, Seller has posted on the “CrescentConnect” website
a current Title Commitment for the Asset, together with copies of the Exception Documents
pertaining thereto, and the Existing Survey. Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with a full size
copy of the Existing Survey within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date.
(b) Before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser may elect to obtain a new survey
for the Asset, or to revise, modify, or re-certify the Existing Survey (the “New Survey”), but in
that event Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for the New Survey (and in no
event shall either the Inspection Period or the Closing Date hereunder be postponed or extended for
any reason in connection therewith). If Purchaser obtains the New Survey, Purchaser shall have
the New Survey certified to, and shall provide a copy to, the Title Company and Seller. Upon
Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s cost, Seller shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts
to assist Purchaser in causing the surveyor of the Existing Survey to revise, modify, date down and
recertify the Existing Survey to Purchaser, its lender and the Title Company.
(c) Purchaser may, on or before the date that is two (2) weeks after the Effective Date (the
“Title Response Date”) deliver to Seller written notice (“Title Objection Notice”)
objecting to any exception to title set forth in the Title Commitment or any matter shown on the
Existing Survey or New Survey which are not acceptable to Purchaser or that are exceptions for
which Purchaser has not received the underlying information or documentation from Seller or the
Title Company (collectively, “Title Defects”); provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser
object to any exceptions with respect to the Master Leases (provided they are terminated at
Closing), Management Agreement, Tenant Leases, Material Agreements or memoranda of any of the
foregoing, nor shall any such exceptions constitute “Title Defects” hereunder unless Purchaser
exercises an option to elect not to assume any such agreement under this Agreement. Any exception
to title not objected to by Purchaser in the manner and within the
15
time period specified in this Section 5.2(c) shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and
shall constitute a Permitted Exception hereunder, except that in no event shall Permitted
Exceptions ever include Mandatory Seller Cure Items. Within five (5) Business Days following
receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice, Seller may deliver to Purchaser Seller’s written
notice (“Seller’s Response Notice”) setting forth which (if any) of the Title Defects Seller is
willing to cure or otherwise cause to be removed as exceptions in the New Title Policy (the
“Seller’s Initial Cure Items”). In the event that (i) Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s
Response Notice, (ii) Seller delivers a Seller’s Response Notice but fails to cure or to cause the
cure of any Seller Cure Items prior to the end of the Inspection Period, or (iii) Seller’s Response
Notice fails to obligate Seller to cure all of the Title Defects which are not Mandatory Seller
Cure Items, then Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole right and remedy, either (A) elect to terminate
this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements (except the provisions hereof and thereof
which expressly survive Closing) by written notice to Seller delivered prior to the expiration of
the Inspection Period pursuant to Section 5.3(c) of this Agreement, in which event the
provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement governing a permitted termination by Purchaser of the
entire Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements shall apply, or (B) proceed to close,
accepting title to the Property subject to the Title Defects specified in the Title Objection
Notice (excluding Mandatory Seller Cure Items), in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have
waived in all respects such Title Defects; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in all
events Seller shall be obligated to cause the removal or cure of the Mandatory Seller Cure Items at
or prior to the Closing and Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct from the Purchase Price the
amount of Title Defects having an ascertainable amount that will be paid or cured by Purchaser
after Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller expressly agrees
to cause to be cured or removed as exceptions from the New Title Policy the following (the
“Mandatory Seller Cure Items”): (v) matters that Seller has elected in writing to cure as
provided in Section 5.3(c) above, (w) except for those matters and circumstances described
in the other subsections of this definition of the term “Mandatory Seller Cure Items”, title
exceptions recorded with respect to the Asset by or with the consent of Seller or its Affiliates
after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the effective date of the Title Commitment pertaining to the
Asset last delivered prior to March 22, 2007, or caused by or arising out of the actions of Seller
or its Affiliates after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the effective date of the Title Commitment
pertaining to the Asset last delivered prior to March 22, 2007, and which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the title, use, operation or value of the Asset, (x)
except for liens securing the Existing Debt, mortgage liens placed on the Asset by Seller or its
Affiliate, (y) mechanics liens placed on the Asset in connection with work done at the Asset by or
on behalf of Seller or its Affiliate, and (z) the Master Leases (if recorded, by memorandum or
otherwise).
(d) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated
hereunder to cure any Title Defects other than the Mandatory Seller Cure Items.
(e) Intentionally Omitted.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Permitted Exceptions,” shall mean the
following, subject to any changes thereto described in Schedule 14.14: (i) all exceptions
and objections to title set forth in the Title Commitment and in the Existing Survey and New
Survey, including all Title Defects which Purchaser is deemed to have approved in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.2(c) above, but excluding any Title Defect that constitutes a Mandatory
Seller Cure Item; (ii)the Tenant Leases; (iii) any rights of licensees or other third parties under
any Operating Agreements not terminated as of Closing (if recorded, by memorandum or otherwise);
(iv) non-delinquent taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs and subsequent
years; (v) matters created by, through or under Purchaser, including without limitation any liens
and encumbrances arising after the Effective Date to which Purchaser consents in writing;
(vi) intentionally omitted; (vii) intentionally omitted; (viii) exceptions for the Assumed
Management Agreement, the Material Agreements and any recorded memoranda with respect thereto; and
(ix) exceptions that are part of the promulgated title insurance form
16
and approved by Purchaser during the Inspection Period (except to the extent that that the Title
Company has agreed to remove or modify same prior to Closing). For the avoidance of doubt, and
notwithstanding anything seemingly to the contrary herein, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
(x) in no event shall the Inspection Period be extended for any reason in connection with
Purchaser’s review of or objections to title, and that Purchaser’s sole remedy if it is
unsatisfied with such review of or objections to title shall be to terminate this Agreement prior
to the expiration of the Inspection Period in accordance with the provisions of Section
5.3(c) of this Agreement; and (y) if Purchaser fails to deliver notice of termination of this
Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period in accordance with Section
5.3(c) of this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the title to the
Property; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events Seller shall be
obligated to remove and cure the Mandatory Seller Cure Items at or prior to the Closing and in no
event shall the term Permitted Exceptions include the Mandatory Seller Cure Items.
(g) At Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Purchaser a New Title Policy (hereinafter
defined) for the Asset. The New Title Policy shall insure the title to the Asset as specified in
the Title Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term “New Title Policy” shall mean, with respect to the Asset, a 1970-ALTA Extended
Coverage Owner Policy of Title Insurance with such endorsements as may be requested by Purchaser
and agreed to in writing by Title Company prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
insuring Purchaser’s title to the Asset in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions.
5.3 Inspection Period.
(a) During the period from the Effective Date until Closing or the earlier termination of this
Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct its due diligence and a physical inspection of
the Property at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with this Agreement. In addition to
such other activities that Purchaser may determine to be appropriate to carry out such due
diligence, Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives may (i) examine the physical structures and
components of the Asset, including, without limitation, hotel rooms, the life safety systems,
electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems; (ii) conduct studies to determine that the Asset and the
operation thereof complies with all requirements of all Governmental Bodies having jurisdiction
with respect thereto, including, without limitation matters of zoning, building code compliance,
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; (iii) make such studies and investigations,
conduct such tests and surveys and engage such independent contractors, environmental engineers,
environmental consultants, and experts as necessary to enable Purchaser to evaluate any and all
environmental risks associated with the ownership and operation of the Asset and its compliance
with Environmental Law; (iv) interview all senior management personnel with respect to the Asset,
upon reasonable prior notice (of not less than twenty-four (24) hours), and Seller shall use
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make such personnel available or assist Purchaser in arranging
the same, and (v) otherwise conduct a complete and thorough investigation and examination of the asset employing the levels of due diligence as purchaser may elect to perform in its sole and absolute discretion. To the extent Purchaser does
not currently have available its own employees who are competent to conduct such examinations and
inspections, Purchaser shall have the right to retain such Representatives, consultants,
independent contractors and other professional advisors as necessary to enable it to complete its
due diligence and
17
investigation of the Property as Purchaser determines is necessary in its sole and absolute
discretion. From and after the Effective Date and until the earlier to occur of termination of this
Agreement or Closing, Purchaser and its representatives and agents will have the right, upon
reasonable prior notice (of not less than one (1) Business Day) to enter upon the Land and
Improvements for the purpose of examining, inspecting and testing the Property. Purchaser will
provide Seller and Manager with reasonable notice regarding the scope and execution of its
activities, including proposed timing of inspections and any anticipated need to interview
specified personnel. Any and all interviews of Tenants under the Tenant Leases may be conducted
only at such times and in such manner as may be reasonably approved by Seller or Manager, and
Seller or Manager may condition, in a reasonable manner with a view towards completing the same as
quickly as reasonably possible without unreasonably disrupting hotel operations, all such
interviews upon the ability of Seller or Manager to be present during such interviews. Purchaser
will not unreasonably disturb or interfere with the operation, management or use of the Asset by
Seller, Operating Lessee, Manager, the Tenants under the Tenant Leases, or by any of their
respective agents, customers, invitees, or guests. Neither Purchaser nor any of its agents or
contractors may conduct inspection activities that involve the disassembly of any building
components, the removal of permanent wall coverings or partitions, the drilling or boring into the
Land or Improvements, or any other similar invasive activity without the prior written consent of
Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but may be further
conditioned on such adequate bonds and additional security as Seller may reasonably require to
protect itself and the Property from loss, damage or injury. Purchaser waives and releases any
claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, or other remedies of any kind whatsoever
against Seller, Manager and the Operating Lessee for property damages or bodily and/or personal
injuries to Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, servants and/or employees arising out
of its inspections of the Property or its use in any manner of the Property unless caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or the Operating Lessee. Purchaser shall procure
and continue in force from and after the date Purchaser first enters the Property, and continuing
throughout the term of this Agreement, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance with a combined
single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, or Commercial General Liability Insurance,
with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 per event. Seller, the
Operating Lessee and Manager each shall be included as an Additional Insured under such
Comprehensive General Liability or Commercial General Liability Coverage. Purchaser hereby
indemnifies and holds Seller, the Operating Lessee and Manager harmless from all claims,
liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees), actions, and causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to the inspections
performed by Purchaser, its agents, independent contractors, servants, and/or employees
(collectively, the “Purchaser Inspection Parties”), but such indemnity shall not include
(i) claims related to pre-existing conditions discovered by a Purchaser Inspection Party except to
the extent of any exacerbation of such conditions caused by a Purchaser Inspection Party or (ii) to
the extent such claims are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, the
Operating Lessee or any Affiliate of the foregoing, it being understood and agreed that the
foregoing indemnity includes an indemnification with respect to claims due to the negligence of the
indemnitees, as and to the extent provided herein. The provisions of this Section 5.3(a)
shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement and are not subject to any
liquidated damage limitation on remedies, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement.
(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition to Purchaser’s being provided with
the Property Information and the Additional Property Materials and being provided access to the
Property, Purchaser shall treat as confidential all information contained therein or learned in
connection therewith in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 5.3(b),
except to the extent that any such information (i) was already in Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s
Representatives’ possession prior to the date Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives was
given access to the “CrescentConnect” website, (ii) becomes generally available to the public
other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, (iii) becomes
available to Purchaser or
18
Purchaser’s Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or its
Affiliates or advisors, provided that such source is not known by Purchaser to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to the Seller, its Affiliates or
another party; (iv) is compelled or permitted to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or (v) is
independently developed by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives (collectively, the
“Confidential Information Exclusions”). Purchaser hereby agrees that the Property
Information and Additional Property Materials will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the
transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, and that such information will be kept
confidential by Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives, provided, however, that (A) any of such
information may be disclosed to Purchaser’s Representatives who need to know such information for
the purpose of evaluating such transactions (it being understood that such Representatives shall be
informed by Purchaser of the confidential nature of such information and shall be directed by
Purchaser to treat such information confidentially), and (B) any disclosure of such information may
be made to which Seller consents in writing. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Purchaser is aware,
and that Purchaser will advise such Representatives who are informed as to the matters which are
the subject of this Section 5.3(b), that the United States securities laws prohibit any
person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information concerning the matters
which are the subject hereof from (I) purchasing or selling securities of such issuer and, if
applicable, securities of such issuer’s affiliates and subsidiaries, or (II) communicating such
material, non-public information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably
foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. In addition, without
the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser will not, and will direct its Representatives not
to, disclose to any person other than its Representatives any of the terms, conditions or other
facts with respect to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, including the status
of such transactions. Purchaser agrees not to solicit for employment or hire any of the current
employees of Seller or its Affiliates to whom Purchaser had been directly or indirectly introduced
or otherwise had contact with as a result of Purchaser’s consideration of the transactions that are
the subject of this Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement,
without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, that the foregoing restriction shall not
apply to general solicitations, third-party calls from recruiters or employees who contact
Purchaser on his or her own initiatives or individuals who are terminated by Seller. Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that the Property Information and Additional Property Materials are being
provided to Purchaser in consideration of Purchaser’s agreement that, for a period of twelve (12)
months from the date of this Agreement, (x) Purchaser will not propose to Seller or its Affiliates
or any other Person any transaction between Purchaser and Seller and/or its security holders, or
between Purchaser and an Affiliate of Seller and/or its security holders, or involving any of the
securities or security holder of Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, except for the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless Seller shall have requested in writing that
Purchaser make such a proposal, and (y) Purchaser will not acquire, or assist, advise or encourage
any other persons in acquiring, directly or indirectly, control of Seller or its Affiliates, or any
of the securities, businesses
or assets of Seller or its Affiliates, as applicable, unless Seller
shall have consented in advance in writing to such acquisition. Notwithstanding the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence, Seller agrees that such provisions shall be inapplicable if (1)
Purchaser acquires the Asset pursuant to this Agreement or any or all of the Other Assets pursuant
to any Other Purchase and Sale Agreement, or (2) the Board of Trust Managers of Seller’s
publicly-traded parent company undertakes a process to formally solicit proposals to buy or sell
all or substantially all assets of such company. Purchaser also agrees that Seller shall be
entitled to seek equitable relief, including an injunction, in the event of any breach of the
provisions of this Section 5.3(b) and that Purchaser shall not oppose the granting of such
relief. In the event that Purchaser is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories,
requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process) to
disclose any of the Property Information Materials or Additional Property Materials, Purchaser will
provide Seller with prompt notice, to the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation, of
any such request or requirement so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order or waive
compliance with the provisions of this letter. If a protective order or the receipt of a waiver
hereunder has not been obtained,
19
or if prior notice is not possible, and Purchaser is, in the opinion of Purchaser’s counsel,
compelled to disclose any of the Property Information Materials or Additional Property Materials,
Purchaser may disclose that portion of the Property Information Materials and Additional Property
Materials which Purchaser’s counsel advises that Purchaser is compelled to disclose. Purchaser
agrees to cooperate with Seller in any action brought by Seller to obtain an appropriate
protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the
Property Information Material and Additional Property Materials. The provisions of this
Section 5.3(b) shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
(c) At any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser has the right to
elect to terminate this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements if Purchaser is not
satisfied with the physical condition of the Property, the state of title, the Existing Debt and/or
any other matter pertaining to the Property. Any such election to terminate this Agreement and the
other Purchase and Sale Agreements must be in writing, and upon timely receipt thereof by Seller
and the Title Company, the Xxxxxxx Money will be refunded to Purchaser, and thereupon this
Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements will be terminated and of no further force and
effect whatsoever, except for the terms of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreement
which expressly survive termination. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 5.3(c), (i) Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller any
New Survey obtained by Purchaser under this Agreement or the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements;
(ii) Purchaser shall promptly restore the Property and the Other Property to their original
condition if damaged or changed due to the inspections performed by a Purchaser Inspection Party,
free of any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or other encumbrances arising out of any of the
inspections or tests; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subpart (v) of Section
5.3(b) above, Purchaser shall keep confidential the results of any tests and inspections made by a
Purchaser Inspection Party, and shall not disclose or permit any Purchaser Inspection Party to
disclose any of the same to any third parties except as expressly permitted by subparts (A) and (B)
of Section 5.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser’s termination rights as set forth in this
Section 5.3(c) pertain to all, but not fewer than all, of the Asset comprising the Property
and the Other Assets and Other Property. The provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall
survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale
Agreements.
(d) If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale
Agreements prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then (i) this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect; (ii) Purchaser will be deemed to have determined that the Property is
satisfactory and feasible for its intended use; and (iii) Purchaser will be deemed to have agreed
to accept title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and on an “AS IS” basis as
described in Section 6.31 below, except for the Seller Matters.
(e) Prior to the end of the Inspection Period and provided Purchaser shall not have elected to
otherwise terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall advise Seller in writing whether Purchaser
elects to assume at Closing the Management Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to give written notice of
its election to assume the Management Agreement prior to the end of the Inspection Period shall
constitute Purchaser’s election to assume such agreement.
5.4 Assignments. Assumptions and Consents.
(a) The Asset is subject to the mortgage lien which secures existing indebtedness as
described on Exhibit G hereto (the “Existing Debt”), as more particularly described in the
loan documents listed on Exhibit G hereto (collectively, the “Existing Debt Documents”).
The holder of the applicable Existing Debt (whether one or more) shall be referred to as the
“Lender.” During the Inspection Period,
20
Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish Lender such documents and information with respect to Seller,
Purchaser and its Affiliates and the Asset as Lender may require, and use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to attempt to reach agreement with Lender prior to expiration of the Inspection Period to
permit Purchaser to assume at Closing the Existing Debt on a form of consent, assignment and
assumption agreement (the “Existing Debt Assumption Agreement”), by which (i) an
Acquisition Vehicle that is a special purpose entity indirectly owned and controlled by Purchaser
will assume the Existing Debt and all liabilities and obligations thereunder from and after the
Closing, (ii) Seller and, if applicable, its Affiliates, will be released from any and all
liability arising in respect of the Existing Debt from and after the Closing, and (iii) the
requirement set forth in item 1 of the January 20, 2006 letter to Bank of America, N. A., requiring
delivery of a no further action or similar letter with respect to the underground storage tank as
provided therein shall have been waived or the delivery date shall have been further extended to a
date reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser shall pay at Closing any
assumption or transfer fees which may be due in connection with any Lender’s consent to Purchaser’s
assumption of Existing Debt, plus to the extent required by the Existing Debt Documents, any
Lender’s attorney’s fees and costs incurred by any Lender, any costs incurred by any Lender for
appraisals (or updates) thereto, any processing or application fee required by Lender with respect
thereto, and any other out of pocket costs incurred by or at the request of Lender, to the extent
required to be paid by Seller or Purchaser as a condition to such consent and assumption under the
terms of the Existing Debt Documents (collectively, the “Loan Assumption Costs”). At Closing, any
tax, insurance and other reserve or escrow accounts held by the Lender pursuant to the Existing
Debt Documents (collectively, the “Existing Debt Reserves”) shall be assigned to Purchaser
and Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of the Existing Debt Reserves to the extent so
assigned to Purchaser.
(b) If Purchaser intends to elect to assume at Closing the Management Agreement in accordance
with Section 5.3(e) above, then during the Inspection Period Purchaser and Seller agree to
furnish the Manager under the Assumed Management Agreement such documents and information with
respect to Seller, Purchaser and its Affiliates and the Asset as the Manager may reasonably
require, and to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement with the Manager to permit
Purchaser to assume at Closing the Management Agreement on a form of consent, assignment and
assumption agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller and as described in
the final sentence of this paragraph (the “Management Assumption Agreement”) for the Asset
(but which terms need not include any material amendment to the terms of the Management Agreement),
by which (i) Purchaser will assume the Management Agreement and all liabilities and obligations
thereunder from and after the Closing, and (ii) if permitted by the Management Agreement or
approved by the Manager, Seller and its Affiliates shall be released from any and all liability
under the Management Agreement arising after the Closing Date. The Management Assumption
Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K, revised as necessary to
include the provisions described above, and with such changes as the Manager may require and as
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller.
(c) During the Inspection Period, Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish to the other parties
under the Material Agreements such documents and information with respect to Seller, Purchaser and
their Affiliates as such other parties may reasonably request in connection with Purchaser’s
assumption of the Material Agreements. At Closing, Purchaser and Seller will enter into an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement (herein so called) in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit K with respect to each Material Agreement, but with applicable changes if
the applicable Material Agreement (i) provides for, or the other party thereto permits, Seller and
the Operating Lessee to be released, or released from and after Closing, from their obligations
under the Material Agreement, or (ii) requires the consent of the other party to such assignment
and assumption; provided, however, the release of Seller shall not be a condition of Closing.
Purchaser and Seller shall exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any such other party
to release Seller and the Operating Lessee and their Affiliates from their respective obligations
under the applicable Material Agreement (or their respective obligations after
21
Closing if a full release is not available), and to obtain the written consent of any such other
party to such assignment and assumption by Purchaser (to the extent consent is required by the
underlying agreement). Seller agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with
Purchaser in obtaining consents to assignment and estoppel certificates from other parties to the
Material Agreements and applicable Permitted Exceptions during the Inspection Period.
(d) During the Inspection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with one
another if any filings are necessary under the filing requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. 18a).

responsible for all charges based on such final meter reading, and Purchaser shall be responsible
for all charges thereafter. If such readings are not obtainable, then, until such time as readings
are obtained, charges for all Utilities for which readings were not obtained shall be pro rated as

such Utilities that are available. Upon the taking of a subsequent actual reading, such
apportionment shall be adjusted to reflect the actual per diem rate for the billing period in which
the date of
34
Closing falls, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly
deliver to the other the amount determined to be due upon such adjustment. Advance
cash payments to Seller under such agreements shall be prorated as of the Closing
Date over the entire term of such agreement.
(xiii) Vouchers. Purchaser shall receive a credit for the amount

which survive the Closing, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged and
credited for all of same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any
amounts paid by Seller attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date) and Purchaser being
responsible for, and credited or charged, as the case may be, for all of same attributable to the

premiums relating to the insurance policies insuring all or any part of the Property (collectively,
the “Insurance Policies”), and all other charges to or contributions by Tenants under the Tenant
Leases other than base rent as of the Closing to the extent (i) such amounts relate to expenses
incurred and paid by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or for which Seller would remain
obligated after the Closing, and (ii) Tenants have no claims or right to repayment of such funds
collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date. The amount of all unapplied Deposits under Tenant
Leases, if any, shall be credited against the cash portion of the Purchase Price at the Closing.
Any real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property, or any installment of assessments
payable in installments which installment is payable in the year of Closing, shall be prorated to
the date of Closing, based upon actual days involved. In connection with the proration of real
property taxes or installments of assessments, such proration shall be for all unpaid periods up to
and including Closing and be based upon the assessed valuation and tax rate figures for the year in
which the Closing occurs to the extent the same are available; provided, that in the event
that actual figures (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate) for the
year of Closing are not available at the Closing Date, the proration shall be made using the
figures from the preceding year for the figures which are unavailable for the year of Closing.
The proration shall be final and unadjustable except as provided in the following paragraphs.
Seller shall endeavor to submit a draft settlement statement to Purchaser for review and approval
four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date containing Seller’s good faith estimate of all
items to be prorated or credited at Closing. Purchaser shall review the draft settlement statement
and, not later than the second Business Day after its receipt of the same, Purchaser shall furnish
to Seller any comments which Purchaser may have with respect thereto, or any objection it may have
to the amounts shown thereon, together with its reasons for such objection. Thereafter, Seller and
Purchaser (each acting reasonably and in good faith) shall attempt to resolve, prior to the Closing
Date, any disagreement with respect to such draft settlement statement.
(d) Reproration Obligations. If any of the items subject to proration under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4 cannot be prorated at the Closing because of the
unavailability of the information necessary to compute such proration, or if any errors or
omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the Closing, then
such item shall be reapportioned and such
35
errors and omissions corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (a
“Reproration Obligation”) and the proper Party reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the
Closing for the Survival Period. No Party hereto shall have the right to require a recomputation
of a Closing proration or a correction of an error or omission in a Closing proration unless
within the Survival Period one of the Parties hereto (i) has obtained the previously unavailable
information or has discovered the error or omission, and (ii) has given notice thereof to the
other Party together with a copy of its good faith recomputation of the proration and copies of
all substantiating information used in such recomputation. The failure of a Party to obtain any
previously unavailable information or discover an error or omission with respect to an item
subject to proration hereunder and to give notice thereof as provided above within the Survival
Period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to cause a recomputation or a correction of an error
or omission with respect to such item after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the reproration obligations set forth herein with respect to the
reproration of real estate taxes shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years.
(e) Seller’s Survival Period for Reproration Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
set forth herein, Seller shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to a Reproration
Obligation of Seller unless prior to the end of the Survival Period (or, with respect to the

Date), Purchaser notifies Seller in writing setting forth specifically and in reasonable detail the
Reproration Obligation and the information with respect to such Reproration Obligation as described
in Section 9.4(d); provided, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4(e)
shall be not be subject to the limitations set forth in the last sentence of Section 11.3
but shall be subject to Section 11.7. All liability or obligation of Seller with respect to
any Reproration Obligations shall lapse and be of no further force or effect with respect to any
matters not contained in a written notice delivered to Seller as contemplated herein on or prior to
the end of the Survival Period (or, with respect to the reproration of real estate taxes, before
the end of the two-year period following the Closing Date).
(f) Purchaser Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall assume and be responsible
for the timely satisfaction or performance, as the case may be, of all Purchaser Assumed
Liabilities. With the exception of the Purchaser Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall not by
execution and performance of this Agreement or otherwise, assume or otherwise be responsible for
any liability or obligation of any nature of Seller, Operating Lessee or any Affiliate of Seller or

third-party asset manager or their respective Affiliates; and (b) Seller shall instruct the

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL
CODE. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE
STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE, THE REASONABLENESS OF THE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AGREED UPON, AND THE
FACT THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS
MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT
SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.8 HEREOF, NOR

Seller obligation and reasonable and appropriate backup information. All liability or obligation of

Purchaser’s Remedies. (a) In the event Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing
notwithstanding Purchaser’s actual knowledge of the existence of a breach or default by Seller with
respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller under this Agreement, or
the failure of a Purchaser Condition, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived each such breach,
default and failure and any and all rights and remedies in connection therewith. The term

knowledge, based on reasonable but not unlimited investigation, diligence or inquiry in connection

reasonable and appropriate backup information. All liability or obligation of Seller with respect
to any Seller’s Indemnity Obligation shall lapse and be of no further force or effect with respect
to any matters not contained in a written notice delivered to Seller as contemplated herein on or

proceeding is commenced for all or any portion of the Asset (a “Condemnation”), and (b) either

notice of its election to Seller not more than ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser receives
notice of such Condemnation; Purchaser’s failure to give written notice to Seller within such ten

Section 12.1, any election by Purchaser

destroyed by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”) prior to Closing, and (b) either such Casualty

the Asset due to such Major Casualty, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and both
Parties shall proceed to close the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to the terms hereof,

to the Asset subject to Major Casualty proceedings (but not any Other Asset) by giving written
notice of its election to Seller not more than ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser receives
notice of such Casualty; Purchaser’s failure to give written notice to Seller within such ten (10)
Business Day period shall constitute Purchaser’s election to proceed to Closing with respect to the
Asset. If Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Major Casualty as
provided in this Section 12.2, the Title Company shall return the Xxxxxxx Money to
Purchaser and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights or obligations under this
Agreement except for the obligations of the Parties which expressly survive termination of this
Agreement, including, Purchaser’s obligations under Section 5.3 of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2 any election by Purchaser to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.2 with respect to the Asset or the Sonoma
Golf Club shall be deemed to also constitute a termination of this Agreement as to the other of the
Asset and the Sonoma Golf Club.

12.3 of the Casualty or Condemnation to and including the date of Purchaser’s response notice
(or failure thereof) under Section 12.1 or 12.2, as applicable. The amount of loss in the
case of a dispute between Seller and Purchaser as to whether such loss was “Major” shall be
determined by a general contractor engaged in both new construction and major renovation projects
in the location of the Asset, which general contractor has been jointly selected by a general

location identified by Purchaser, whose determination shall be binding upon the Parties. As used in

acknowledges and agrees that (a) Purchaser has elected not to terminate the Agreement prior to
expiration of the Inspection Period, and hereby waives its right to do so; (b) from and after the

accordance with the Agreement without regard to Purchaser’s right to request a refund thereof under
Section 5.3(c); (c) as provided in Section 5.3(d) of the Agreement, Purchaser has

default by the Seller with respect to any Seller Matter which is not waived or deemed waived by
Purchaser under this Agreement at or prior to Closing, (b) any claim raised or action filed by the
Manager under Section 16.13 of the Management Agreement with respect to the transfer of the
Asset from Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement, (c) any amounts owed by Sellers under
Section 9.8, (d) any claim raised under the pending litigation disclosed on Schedule
6.8 attached to the Agreement (it being agreed that Seller’s obligations with respect to claims
described in and covered by this subsection (d) shall not be subject to the Minimum Amount
limitation set forth in Section 11.3 of the Agreement), and (e) all reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Purchaser in connection with any

“Seller’s Indemnity Obligations”). Seller understands and agrees that the foregoing
indemnity includes an indemnification for certain claims arising from the indemnitee’s negligence,
as and to the extent provided herein. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in

or obligation of the Sellers with respect to any Seller’s Indemnity Obligation shall lapse and be
of no further force or effect with respect to any matters not contained in a written notice
delivered to the Sellers as contemplated herein on or prior to the end of the Survival Period (or,
with respect to any claim raised or action filed by the Manager as referenced in subparagraph
(b) above or with respect to the litigation referenced in subparagraph (d) above, prior
to the end of the two-year period following the Closing Date). This Section 11.4 shall

referenced in subparagraph (d) above for the two-year period following the Closing Date).

with respect to such Property to Seller at or prior to Closing or cause such Affiliate to assign
its right, title and interest with respect to such Property to Purchaser at Closing, upon the terms

faith believes that presentation of such estoppel would be likely to cause or trigger a re-analysis
or investigation of the Asset’s compliance with laws, rules, regulations or policies, (b) Seller
shall have no obligation to sign an estoppel in its capacity as owner of the Asset, but will sign
