Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, the Parties acknowledge
and agree that each Seller shall be obligated only to convey its respective Asset or Assets and
the Property interests described above pertaining to each such Asset, and not any Asset owned by
any other Seller.
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
extent required by applicable Law, the Sellers will join in the execution of any such tax returns.

Efforts to cooperate with Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s efforts to take advantage of any

approved (collectively, “Board Approval”) by the Board of Trust Managers of Crescent Real Estate

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in the event Sellers fail to notify Purchaser

expressly survive termination. From the Effective Date until such time as this Agreement is
terminated, the Sellers agree on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates to deal solely with
Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Assets and during such time no 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.
ARTICLE III
PURCHASE PRICE
PURCHASE PRICE
3.1 Purchase Price. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the aggregate Purchase
Price to be paid by Purchaser to the Sellers for the Property is allocated among the Assets as set
forth in Exhibit F attached hereto. The applicable Purchase Price for each Asset, less a
credit for the portion of the Xxxxxxx Money allocated to such Asset in accordance with
Schedule 4.2 attached hereto and made a part hereof, and plus or minus prorations and
adjustments as provided in this Agreement, shall be paid by Purchaser to the applicable Seller in
Current Funds at the Closing by wire transfer to the Title Company.

based on the applicable facts and circumstances.
ARTICLE IV
XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT
XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT
4.1 Amount and Timing. Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser
shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money, in Current Funds, to the Title Company. The Sellers agree 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 Sellers in accordance
with this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with the Title Company on or
before two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, this Agreement and the Other Purchase and
Sale Agreements shall be of no force or effect, and neither the Sellers nor Purchaser shall have
any further obligations hereunder or under the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, except for
provisions of this Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements which expressly survive the
termination hereof and thereof. The Title Company shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money promptly upon
receipt in government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to and as directed by
Purchaser, shall not commingle the Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of the Title Company or others, and
shall promptly provide Purchaser and the Sellers with confirmation of the investments made. Such
account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to
such account.
4.2 Application and Interest. Purchaser and Sellers agree that the Xxxxxxx Money shall be
credited towards the Purchase Price if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement close, in
which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be deemed allocated among the Assets comprising the Property as
set forth in Schedule 4.2 attached hereto and made a part hereof. 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 Sellers 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 Sellers 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
termination; provided, however, that, if the non-terminating party, before the end of the ninth
(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
14
provisions of this Section 4.2 shall constitute their respective written
instructions to the Title Company to distribute the Xxxxxxx Money in accordance herewith.

possible after the Effective Date, the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser year-to-date unaudited
monthly income statements for the Assets, beginning January 2007, as the same become available, and
the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser promptly upon request by Purchaser such additional due
diligence materials relating to the Property which are reasonably requested by Purchaser and are in
the respective Sellers’ possession or control, including audited financial statements for each of
the Assets, if available. All such additional due diligence documents and materials provided by the
Sellers 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 the Sellers’
representations and warranties in Article VI of this Agreement (as supplemented by
Schedule 14.14 attached hereto), the Sellers expressly disclaim 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 the Sellers’ representations and warranties in Article VI of this Agreement (as
supplemented by Schedule 14.14 attached hereto), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Sellers have not undertaken any independent investigation as to the truth, accuracy or completeness
of the Property Information and/or the Additional Property
16
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 the Sellers set forth in Article VI of this Agreement (as
supplemented by Schedule 14.14 attached hereto), and (D) the express covenants of the
Sellers set forth in Article XIII of this Agreement (as supplemented by Schedule
14.14 attached hereto). In permitting Purchaser to review the Property Information, the
Additional Property Materials or any other information, the Sellers have 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, Sellers have posted on the “CrescentConnect”
website a current Title Commitment for each Asset, together with copies of the Exception Documents
pertaining thereto, and the Existing Survey for each Asset. Sellers agree to provide Purchaser with
a full size copy of each 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 any Asset, or to revise, modify, or re-certify any Existing Survey (each a “New Survey”), but
in that event Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for each such 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 any New Surveys, Purchaser
shall have each such New Survey certified to, and shall provide a copy to, the Title Company and
Sellers. Upon Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s cost, Sellers shall exercise Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to assist Purchaser in causing the surveyor of an Existing Survey for any Asset
to revise, modify, date down and recertify such 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 Sellers written
notice (“Title Objection Notice”) objecting to any exception to title set forth in any Title Commitment or any matter shown on any
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 Agreements, Tenant Leases, the Omni Lease, Material Agreements, Beaver Creek
East West 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Title Response Date as to
Omni Austin shall be March 26, 2007. Any exception to title not objected to by Purchaser in the
manner and within the 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, Sellers may deliver to Purchaser Sellers’
written notice (“Seller’s Response Notice”) setting forth which (if any) of the Title Defects
Sellers are willing to cure or otherwise cause to be removed as exceptions in the applicable 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
17
and Sale Agreements (except the provisions hereof and thereof which expressly survive Closing) by
written notice to Sellers 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 Sellers 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, Sellers expressly agree to cause to be cured or removed
as exceptions from each 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 an
Asset by or with the consent of Sellers or their Affiliates after 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the
effective date of the applicable Title Commitment pertaining to such Asset last delivered prior to
March 22, 2007, or caused by or arising out of the actions of Sellers or their Affiliates after 5:00
p.m. (Central time) on the effective date of the applicable Title Commitment pertaining to such
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 such Asset, (x) mortgage liens
placed on an Asset by a Seller or its Affiliate, (y) mechanics liens placed on an Asset in
connection with work done at such 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, the Sellers 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 Commitments and in the Existing Surveys and New
Surveys, 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 and the Omni Lease; (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 Agreements, Material Agreements and the Assumed Beaver Creek East West
Agreements, and any recorded memoranda with respect to the foregoing; and (ix) exceptions that are
part of the promulgated title insurance form 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,
18
notwithstanding the foregoing, in all events Sellers 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 each of the Assets other than the Omni Austin, and one New Title Policy for both the
Omni Austin and the Renaissance Houston (the latter as required pursuant to Section 5.2(g) of the
Renaissance Houston Contract). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser desires to obtain a New
Title Policy for each of the Omni Austin and the Renaissance Houston, Purchaser may do so but will
be responsible for the payment at Closing of all additional premiums resulting from the delivery
of two New Title Policies instead of one as required by the preceding sentence. Each New Title
Policy shall insure the title to such Assets as specified in the applicable Title Commitment,
subject only to the applicable Permitted Exceptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“New Title Policy” shall mean, with respect to the Denver Marriott, the Park Hyatt Beaver
Creek and the Ventana Inn & Spa, 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, and for the Omni Austin, a standard form Texas
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 such Asset in the amount of the Allocated Purchase Price for such Asset as
set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto, 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 each Asset, including, without limitation, hotel rooms, the life safety systems,
electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems; (ii) conduct studies to determine that each 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 each Asset and its compliance
with Environmental Law; (iv) interview all senior management personnel with respect to each of the
Assets, upon reasonable prior notice (of not less than twenty-four (24) hours), and Sellers 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 EACH 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 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 the Sellers and each Manager (or, as applicable, the Omni Lessee) with
reasonable notice regarding the scope and execution of its activities, including proposed timing of
inspections and any anticipated need to interview specified
19
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 the applicable Seller or Manager (or, as
applicable, the Omni Lessee), and the applicable 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 the applicable
Seller or Manager to be present during such interviews. Purchaser will not unreasonably disturb or
interfere with the operation, management or use of any Asset by the applicable Seller, Operating
Lessee, Manager (or, as applicable, the Omni Lessee), 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 the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed
but may be further conditioned on such adequate bonds and additional security as the Sellers 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 the Sellers, the Managers, the Operating Lessees and the Omni 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 Sellers
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. The Sellers, the Operating Lessee, the Managers and the
Omni Lessee each shall be included as an Additional Insured under such Comprehensive General
Liability or Commercial General Liability Coverage. Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds the
Sellers, the Operating Lessee, the Managers and the Omni Lessee 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 Sellers, any 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 Purchaser’s Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Sellers or their respective 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 Sellers, their respective Affiliates or another party; (iv) is compelled or permitted to be
disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or
20
(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 the Sellers consent 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 the Sellers, 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 the Sellers or their respective 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 the Sellers; 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 any 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 any
of the Sellers or their Affiliates or any other Person any transaction between Purchaser and any
Seller and/or its security holders, or between Purchaser and an Affiliate of any Seller and/or its
security holders, or involving any of the securities or security holder of a Seller or any of its
Affiliates, as applicable, except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless the
Sellers 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 any Seller or its Affiliates, or any of the securities, businesses or assets of a Seller
or its Affiliates, as applicable, unless the Sellers shall have consented in advance in writing to
such acquisition. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Sellers
agree that such provisions shall be inapplicable if (1) Purchaser acquires any or all of the Assets
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 the Sellers’ 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 the Sellers 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 Sellers with prompt notice, to
the extent permissible under applicable law or regulation, of any such request or requirement so
that the Sellers 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,
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
21
Information Materials and Additional Property Materials which Purchaser’s counsel advises that
Purchaser is compelled to disclose. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Sellers in any action
brought by the Sellers 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 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 the Sellers 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 the
Sellers 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 Assets 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 Sellers in writing whether Purchaser
elects to assume at Closing any of the Beaver Creek East West Commercial Space Management
Agreement, Spa Management Agreement or Consulting Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to give written
notice of its election to assume any such Beaver Creek East West Agreement prior to the end of the
Inspection Period shall constitute Purchaser’s election to assume such agreements. At Closing but
subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall in any event be required to
assume the Beaver Creek Management Agreement, the Denver Marriott Management Agreement and the
Beaver Creek East West Voting Agreements.
5.4
Assignments, Assumptions and
Consents.
(a) Intentionally Omitted.
22
(b) During the Inspection Period, Purchaser and the applicable Sellers agree to furnish each
Manager under each Assumed Management Agreement such documents and information with respect to the
applicable Sellers, Purchaser and its Affiliates and the Assets as the Managers may reasonably
require, and to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to reach agreement with each such Manager to
permit Purchaser to assume at Closing each such Management Agreement on a form of consent,
assignment and assumption agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Sellers and as
described in the final sentence of this paragraph (each, a “Management Assumption Agreement”)
for each applicable Asset (but which terms need not include any material amendment to the terms
of the applicable Management Agreement), by which (i) Purchaser will assume the Management
Agreement for such Asset and all liabilities and obligations thereunder from and after the Closing,
and (ii) if permitted by the applicable Management Agreement or approved by the applicable Manager,
the applicable Seller and its Affiliates shall be released from any and all liability under such
Management Agreement arising after the Closing Date. Each 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 applicable Manager may require and as reasonably
acceptable to Purchaser and the applicable Seller.
(c) During the Inspection Period, Purchaser and Sellers agree to furnish to the other parties
under the Material Agreements and the Assumed Beaver Creek East West Agreements such documents and
information with respect to the applicable Sellers, Purchaser and theirs Affiliates as such other
parties may reasonably request in connection with Purchaser’s assumption of the Material Agreements
and the Assumed Beaver Creek East West Agreements. At Closing, Purchaser and Sellers 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 and Assumed Beaver
Creek East West Agreement, but with applicable changes if the applicable Material Agreement or
Assumed Beaver Creek East West Agreement (i) provides for, or the other party thereto permits,
Seller and the applicable Operating Lessee to be released, or released from and after Closing, from
their obligations under the Material Agreement or Assumed Beaver Creek East West Agreement, or (ii)
requires the consent of the other party to such assignment and assumption; provided, however, the
release of Sellers shall not be a condition of Closing. Purchaser and Sellers shall exercise
Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause any such other party to release the applicable Seller and
Operating Lessee and their Affiliates from their respective obligations under the applicable
Material Agreement or Assumed Beaver Creek East West Agreement (or their respective obligations
after 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). Sellers agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with
Purchaser in obtaining consents to assignment and estoppel certificates from other parties to the
Material Agreements, the Assumed Beaver Creek East West 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).

obtained by using the last period and bills for 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
Closing falls, and Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver

estate taxes), operating expenses and payments relating to any agreements affecting the Property
which survive the Closing, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, the Sellers being charged and
credited for all of same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited for any
amounts paid by the Sellers attributable to the period on or after the Closing Date) and Purchaser

amounts paid by Tenants for reimbursement of real estate taxes and assessments, common area
maintenance, 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 the Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date or for which
the Sellers would remain obligated after the Closing, and (ii) Tenants have no claims or right to
repayment of such funds collected by the Sellers 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 Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all real
estate taxes pertaining to the properties adjacent to the Omni Austin that are owned by the
applicable Seller or its Affiliate. 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 (as supplemented by Schedule 14.14
attached hereto) 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
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
37
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) Sellers’ Survival Period for Reproration Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
set forth herein, Sellers shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to a Reproration
Obligation of Sellers unless prior to the end of the Survival Period (or, (i) with respect to the
reproration of real estate taxes, before the end of the two-year period following the Closing Date,
and (ii) with respect to reprorations as to the Austin Centre office tower which is a part of the
Omni Austin Asset, before the end of the 11-month period following the Closing Date), Purchaser
notifies the Sellers 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 the Sellers 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 the Sellers 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
Operating Lessee or claims of such liability or obligation, to the extent arising out of
occurrences prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
and in furtherance of the collective net worth requirements set forth in Section 13.6.
Purchaser agrees that the obligations of Xxxxxx TCC Hotel Investors V, L.L.C. and of each assignee
Purchaser under Section 14.4 below shall be joint and several for all Purchaser Assumed
Liabilities which arise on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and for all
Purchaser Assumed Liabilities which arise under the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements on or prior
to the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

Agreement with respect to such Asset due to such Major Condemnation, 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, in which event the applicable Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at

provided in this Section 12.1, the Title Company shall return the Allocable Xxxxxxx Money

Business Days after Purchaser receives notice of such
49
Casualty; Purchaser’s failure to give written notice to Sellers within such ten (10) Business Day
period shall constitute Purchaser’s election to proceed to Closing with respect to such Asset. If
Purchaser timely elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to an Asset as a result of a Major
Casualty as provided in this Section 12.2, the Title Company shall return the Allocable
Xxxxxxx Money for such Asset to Purchaser and neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any further

and major renovation projects in the location of the Asset, which general contractor has been
jointly selected by a general contractor working in such location identified by Seller, and a
general contractor working in such location identified by Purchaser, whose determination shall be
binding upon the Parties. As used in this Article XII, “Proceeds” means the amount of all
insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or other amounts that have been paid or may thereafter be

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Seller and Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

applicable Seller shall additionally deliver or cause to be delivered to the Title Company for
delivery to Purchaser the following: (a) an Assignment to the appropriate Purchaser entity
pertaining to the Intellectual Property, duly executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit

proportionate assignments of the lessee’s interests pertaining to each of the Subterranean Lease
and the Xxxxxxxx Lease, each in form substantially similar to the form delivered to the applicable

provided, that Seller shall not be required to provide to Purchaser any landlord consents
pertaining to the Ground Lease Assignments, and (c) so long as the Manager for the Park Hyatt
Beaver Creek has approved such assignment or Purchaser has agreed to indemnify Seller and such
lessor and lessee against any loss, liability or damage arising from or in connection with the
failure to obtain such Manager’s consent to such assignment, an assignment without recourse,
representation or warranty of all of the right, title and interest of the lessor and lessee under
the Lease of Allegria Spa Park Hyatt Beaver Creek dated effective
July 1, 1998 (the “Spa Operating Lease”), and including Purchaser’s assumption of all obligations and duties of lessor and lessee
under the Spa Operating Lease arising from and after the Closing Date and Purchaser’s indemnity of
lessor and lessee with respect to any loss, liability or damage arising from and after the Closing
Date under or in connection with the Spa Operating Lease (the
“Spa Operating Lease Assignment”). The Intellectual Property Assignment, the Ground Lease Assignments and (if

“Seller Closing Deliveries” under the Agreement. With respect to the Intellectual Property
Assignment, (i) Purchaser acknowledges that the form of Intellectual Property Assignment attached
hereto includes an assignment of the trade name / trade xxxx “Allegria Spa” which is currently in
use at both the Ventana Inn & Spa and the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, and (ii) Purchaser agrees that
in the event the Ventana Inn & Spa and the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek are acquired by separate buyers

permit Purchaser to use such liquor license until the assignment becomes effective, all without
cost or risk to the Ventana Liquor Licensee or Seller and including an indemnity by Purchaser of
the Ventana Liquor Licensee and Seller with respect to any loss, liability or damage arising from
and after the Closing Date in connection with such documents and arrangements and, if necessary, an
escrow agreement with respect to such documents and issues (collectively, the “Ventana Liquor
License Documents”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser agree that to the
extent California law requires that separate consideration be paid for the liquor license or liquor
inventory for Ventana Inn & Spa, such consideration will be deducted from the Allocated Purchase
Price for the Ventana Inn & Spa and be paid as consideration for such matters, and Purchaser shall
have no obligation to compensate Ventana Liquor Licensee for the transfer of the liquor license or
liquor inventory for the Ventana Inn & Spa other than the amount deducted from the Allocated
Purchase Price which Purchaser shall pay as directed by the Ventana Liquor Licensee and as may be
required by California law.

Purchaser in the amount of twenty percent (20%) of all Net Operating Income (as defined in the
Denver Marriott Management Agreement) from the beginning of fiscal year 2007 to the Closing Date,
and (ii) no proration shall be made of any “deferred owner’s distribution” or similar deferred
payment amount that is due from Marriott to the owner of the Asset under the Denver Marriott

11. Denver Marriott Declaration and Other Denver Marriott Matters. The following section is
hereby added to Section 13.1 of the Agreement: Amendments to Denver Condominium
Documents and Other Matters. Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the
Condominium Declaration recorded July 31, 1981, in Book 2422 at Page 558, in the official records
of the City and County of Denver, Colorado (the “Denver Condo Documents”) to be amended (a)
to provide that in the event the owner of the Hotel Unit requests that a capital expenditure be
made and the owner of the Office Unit disagrees that such capital expenditure is necessary, or the
owner of the Hotel Unit disagrees with a proposed capital expenditure which is expected to cost in
excess of $100,000, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 28 of the Denver
Condo Documents shall be applicable to resolution of such dispute, and (b) to prohibit the leasing
of the applicable portion of the first floor retail space in violation of Section 3.04(C)
of the Denver Marriott Management Agreement so long as the Denver Marriott Management Agreement is
in effect, including the necessary lender consents to such amendments (it being understood and
agreed, however, that the Permitted Use (as hereinafter defined) shall not be a violation of such
provision). In the event Seller is unable to obtain the necessary consents to the amendment
described in subsection (b) of the immediately preceding sentence by Closing, and the owner
of the applicable portion of the first floor retail space to be restricted is Seller or an
Affiliate of Seller, at Closing Seller shall cause the owner of such applicable portion of the
first floor retail space so restricted to execute and deliver to Purchaser at Closing a side letter
(which shall not be recorded and shall not bind future owners of such property) agreeing not to
permit leasing of such first floor retail space in violation of Section 3.04(c) (it being
understood and agreed, however, that use of such space as a Permitted Use will not be a violation
of such provision) so long as such Management Agreement is in effect, and which side letter shall
constitute an additional Seller Closing Delivery under the Agreement. For purposes hereof,
“Permitted Use” means use of such space for its existing use as a “sundry” shop or any similar use
even if such use includes the sale of coffee, other drinks and beverages, packaged foods and some
foods prepared on-site such as hot dogs, nachos, etc., the same or similar to the foods currently
prepared in this space occupied by Russells). Additionally, at Closing Seller shall cause the
director on the condominium board created by the Denver Condo Documents and attributable to the
Hotel Unit to resign. The amendment of the Denver Condo Documents described in this Section shall
not constitute a condition to Closing or a breach or default on the part of Seller or Purchaser.
12. Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Deferred Incentive Management Fee and the Payment to Hyatt Upon
Certain Sale. The Parties acknowledge that (a) the incentive management fees are paid
periodically as provided in the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Management Agreement, with a year end
true-up of these incentive management fees, (b) there are no incentive management fees due or owing
under the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Management Agreement other than these incentive fees for the
current fiscal year, subject to the annual year end true-up, and (c) Seller and Purchaser shall
prorate as a year-end true-up under Section 9.4 of the Agreement incentive management fees
paid and allocable to the periods in 2007 before and after the Closing Date and such incentive
management fees shall not be prorated at Closing. As required by Sections 1.2 and

to Hyatt Upon Certain Sale” required by Section 4.5 of such Management Agreement with
respect to the sale of the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

Purchaser’s notice to Seller that it has elected not to assume the Commercial Space Management
Agreement, the Spa Management Agreement or the Consulting Agreement listed on Exhibit J to
the Agreement. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge Seller’s obligations under Section 13.1
of the Agreement to cause the Commercial Space Management Agreement, the Spa Management Agreement
and the Consulting Agreement to be terminated at or prior to Closing and Seller’s obligation to pay
any fees, costs or expenses in connection with such termination as required by Section 1.2
