ARTICLE 4

TITLE AND SURVEY

Section 4.1 Title to Land. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer not later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date (a) a title commitment with respect to the Land issued by the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”), (b) copies of all recorded documents referred to on Schedule B of the Title Commitment as exceptions to coverage (the “Title Documents”) and (c) a copy of any existing survey of the Land and Improvements in Seller’s possession.

Section 4.2 Certain Exceptions to Title. Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that are not Permitted Exceptions and that affect Buyer’s title to the Land which are disclosed in the Title Commitment (herein collectively called “Liens”) prior to

the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Any exceptions that are timely objected to by Buyer shall be herein collectively called the “Title Objections”. Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to remove or cause to be removed, or with Buyer’s consent, insured over, at Seller’s expense and at Closing, any Title Objections, and Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed fifteen [15] days) for the purpose of such removal. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing (“Seller’s Title Response Notice”) within ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections whether Seller elects to remove the same on or before the Closing. If Seller is unable (other than by the payment of money or delivery of documents or instruments) to remove any Title Objections prior to the Closing, or if Seller elects not to remove one or more Title Objections, Buyer may elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice (“Buyer’s Termination Notice”) to Seller on or before five (5) days following Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Title Response Notice (or five (5) days following the expiration of the ten (10) day period that Seller has to deliver to Buyer the Seller Title Response Notice if Seller fails to deliver such notice) or within five (5) days following the scheduled Closing Date (if Seller is unable to remove any Title Objections prior to the Closing, as may be extended as provided above), in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for Buyer’s Surviving Obligations and Seller’s Surviving Obligations, or (b) waive such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. If Buyer fails to timely give Seller Buyer’s Termination Notice, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive such Title Objections and its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall deliver the Hotel and all Personal Property free and clear of any encumbrances or obligations arising from judgments, abstracts of judgment, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, delinquent taxes, or other similar liens and be obligated at Closing to cause the release of the liens of any financing obtained by Seller which are secured by the Land or Personal Property (collectively, “Monetary Title Encumbrances”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to pay and discharge the Monetary Title Encumbrances and obtain releases satisfactory to Buyer and the Title Company without notice of Buyer’s objections thereto. If Seller fails to cause any Monetary Title Encumbrances to be removed at Closing, then Buyer may apply a portion of the Purchase Price to pay such Monetary Title Encumbrances and enable the Title Company to issue Buyer’s Title Policy without exception for such Monetary Title Encumbrances.

If the Title Commitment is amended after expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add matters or exceptions in addition to the Permitted Exceptions (which are not Monetary Title Encumbrances), Buyer shall by the expiration of five (5) business days after written notification of such amendment and receipt of the underlying documents pertaining to the new exception: (i) accept such amended Title Commitment including such additional matters and exceptions, in which case such matters or exceptions shown there shall be deemed additional Permitted Exceptions, or (ii) object to such additional matters or exceptions by written notice to Seller (“Additional Title Objections”). If Buyer does not make timely written objection, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such matters or exceptions as Permitted Exceptions. If Buyer makes a timely objection, Seller shall, within five (5) business days following receipt of such Additional Title Objections notice, either: (i) provide written notice to Buyer that Seller is unable (other than by the payment of money or delivery of documents or instruments) or unwilling to cure the Additional Title Objections, or (ii) elect to remove or cause to be removed, or with Buyer’s

consent, insured over, such Additional Title Objections on or before the Closing, which removal will be deemed effected by the issuance of title insurance eliminating or insuring against the effect of the Additional Title Objections, and Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed fifteen [15] days) for the purpose of such removal. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it is unable or unwilling to cure such Additional Title Objections, Buyer may within five (5) business days of its receipt of such notice from Seller, either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly delivered to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for Buyer’s Surviving Obligations and Seller’s Surviving Obligations, or (ii) waive such Additional Title Objections, in which event Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such additional matters or exceptions as Permitted Exceptions and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement within five (5) business days as set forth in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted such matters as additional Permitted Exceptions. If Seller elects to remove or cause the removal of such Additional Title Objections but is unable to do so by the scheduled Closing Date or within fifteen (15) days thereafter, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly delivered to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for Buyer’s Surviving Obligations and Seller’s Surviving Obligations. If the periods for responding to new title matters or exceptions extend beyond the scheduled Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be extended to the date that is three (3) business days following the expiration of the latest period Seller or Buyer has to respond to the other, as set forth herein.

Section 4.3 Title Insurance. As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close Escrow hereunder, at Closing, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer or be irrevocably and unconditionally committed to issue to Buyer an ALTA owner’s extended coverage (1970 Form B, rev. 10/17/70) form title policy (the “Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that fee simple title to the Land is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide such endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that (a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability (other than as may be imposed by the Title Company’s standard owner’s title affidavit) on, Seller, (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements, Buyer shall nevertheless (but subject to the other conditions in this Section 4.3) be obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request. Buyer shall finalize the form of the Title Policy acceptable to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period and shall attach the form to be issued at Closing to Buyer’s Notice to Proceed.

Seller hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and Buyer’s Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses incurred by Buyer or Buyer’s Indemnitees arising out of Seller’s failure to pay any taxes, assessments, fees or other governmental charges levied upon Seller’s assets, sales, operations or income or otherwise attributable to the Property or the operation of the Hotel thereon during the period prior to the Closing Date.

Section 9.6 Prorations. At Closing, the parties shall prorate as of the Transfer Time, on the basis of a thirty-day (30-day) month, the following with respect to the Property:

(a) Taxes. Real estate taxes, recurring assessments, personal property taxes, and rent tax, if any, on all or any portion of the Property, based on the regular and supplemental tax bills for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs (or, if such tax xxxx has not been issued as of the date of Closing the regular and supplemental tax xxxx for the calendar year preceding that in which the Closing occurs) shall be prorated in accordance with the manner in which real property taxes accrue in Maricopa County, Arizona. If any supplemental real estate taxes are levied for any period preceding the Closing, the parties will, immediately after the Closing or the issuance of the supplemental real estate tax xxxx (whichever last occurs), prorate between themselves (in the manner provided above), in cash, without interest and to the date of the Closing Date, the supplemental real estate taxes shown by such xxxx.

(b) Utilities. All utilities including gas, water, sewer, electricity, telephone and other utilities supplied to the Property shall be pro-rated on the Closing Date. Seller shall pay, prior to the Closing Date, all such amounts for which a xxxx has been received or for which payment is otherwise due prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be credited, and Seller shall be debited, with an amount equal to all utility charges for the period from the date such bills were issued or such payments were due until the Closing Date. All meters shall be read as of the Closing Date.

(c) Rents. Rents from the Leases collected by Seller for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated so that Seller shall receive all amounts due Seller applicable to time periods up to (but not including) the Closing Date (excluding delinquencies), and Buyer shall receive all amounts applicable to time periods on and after the Closing Date. Rents are delinquent when payment thereof is more than thirty (30) days past due as of the Closing Date. Delinquent rentals shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date but not until they are actually collected by Buyer. Rents for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be deemed to have been received by Seller. With respect to any Lease with delinquent rents as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall apply rents (net of all costs of collection) received after the Closing first to rents due to Buyer and second to payment of delinquent rents due to Seller. With respect to such delinquent rents, Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts (provided that it shall not be obligated to spend money) for a period of three (3) months following the Closing to collect the amount of any delinquent rent from tenants and Buyer agrees to remit promptly to Seller any excess delinquent rent related to periods of time through the Closing Date, subject to the priorities set forth above, actually paid by such tenants and/or to Buyer. Seller shall retain the right to commence legal action against a tenant for any delinquent rent apportioned to the Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, except Seller may not bring unlawful detainer proceedings or similar actions to dispossess a tenant without the consent of Buyer, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event Buyer collects or is paid any accounts receivable of Seller for any period prior to the Closing Date (which accounts receivable shall at all times shall remain the property of Seller), Buyer shall remit such amounts so collected or paid to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt thereof. Buyer shall provide Seller monthly statements for six (6) months after the Closing Date, certified by Buyer, itemizing all delinquent rents or accounts receivable collected on behalf of Seller following the Closing Date. Furthermore, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price

on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the sum of all rents received by Seller prior to the Closing Date attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date and the amount of any other credits, security deposits or other deposits due tenants under any of the Leases.

(d) Approved Contracts. Seller shall pay, prior to the Closing Date, all amounts payable by Seller under Approved Contracts or otherwise in connection with the operation of the Hotel which have accrued, or for which a xxxx has been received, or for which payment is otherwise due, to the extent that such relate to a period of time through the Closing Date. Buyer shall be credited, and Seller shall be debited, with an amount equal to all amounts accrued by Seller under the Approved Contracts from the date such bills were issued or such payments were due until the Closing Date, and Seller shall be credited, and Buyer shall be debited, with an amount equal to all amounts paid by Seller under the Approved Contracts to the extent related to periods of time on and after the Closing Date.

(e) Security Deposits. Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be debited with an amount equal to all security deposits paid under the Leases to or on behalf of Seller that remain refundable under the Leases as of the Closing Date.

(f) Operations Settlement. As soon as reasonably practicable prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, a preliminary operations settlement (“Operations Settlement”). The Operations Settlement shall contain the parties’ best estimate of the amounts of items to be prorated and adjusted pursuant to this Agreement (including the prorations and the items set forth below):

(1) Final Night’s Room Revenue. The final night’s room revenue (revenue from rooms occupied on the evening before the Closing Date), including telephone and similar charges (the “Tray Ledger”), shall be shared 50/50 by the Buyer and Seller;

(2) Advance Bookings. Any Advance Bookings will be paid to Buyer or, at Buyer’s option, credited to Buyer at Closing;

(3) Accounts Receivable. Not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing, Seller will provide Buyer a detailed listing, including aging, of the accounts receivable generated from operations at the Hotel (the “Accounts Receivable”); provided, however, that Accounts Receivable constituting the Tray Ledger shall only include amounts up to that portion of the final night’s revenues to which Seller is entitled under Section 9.6(f)(1); and provided, further, that Buyer agrees to acquire and purchase from Seller at the Closing as part of the Purchase Price for the Property in cash all such accounts receivable (specifically excluding the Tray Ledger) for a an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount thereof, after which Buyer shall fully own and be entitled to receive all such Accounts Receivable, subject to the application of Section 9.6(g), below;

(4) Accounts Payable. Subject to appropriate proration at the Closing as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller shall retain responsibility for and timely discharge all of its accounts payable incurred prior to the Closing.

(5) Licensing and Permit Fees. Buyer, at its sole cost, expense and risk, shall be responsible for the cost to transfer any and all existing licenses and permits relating

to the Property and the Hotel (to the extent transferable) or the issuance of new licenses and permits necessary for the ownership or operation of the Property or the Hotel by the Buyer or its manager. Amounts paid or payable as fees for the year or other fiscal period during which the Closing Date occurs for governmental licenses and permits which are transferred or assigned by Seller to Buyer and are assumable by Buyer shall be prorated on a daily basis (but any amounts refundable under any permit or license which is not assigned shall remain the property of the Seller);

(6) Approved Contracts Costs and Revenues. All payments and receipts under any of the Approved Contracts which cover a period up to or including the Closing Date shall be prorated on a daily basis, and Seller shall be given a credit at Closing for any security deposit held by a third party pursuant to any Approved Contract assigned to Buyer at Closing;

(7) Deposits. All prepayments made by Seller, including deposits or similar payments made by Seller, but specifically excluding prepaid advertising, for periods which include the Closing Date will be prorated on a daily basis;

(8) Phone Changes. Seller agrees to fill out the customary forms required by the telephone company to assign the existing phone, fax and URL numbers to Buyer;

(9) Vending Machines. Seller’s only right with respect to any vending machines (including all ATMs) within the Hotel is to receive commissions on sales therefrom, and such vending machines may be emptied and receipts therefrom recorded by the owner thereof, it being understood that Seller is entitled to all commissions with respect thereto which are due but unpaid as of the Closing Date;

(10) Inventories. All opened and unopened food and beverage inventories, Fixed Asset Supplies and all other inventory (including, without limitation, the Inventories) shall be conveyed to Buyer as part of the purchase of the assets covered by this Agreement and shall be included in the Purchase Price and there shall be no prorations or adjustments therefor;

(11) Gift Certificates and Trade Credits. On the Closing Date, Seller will provide Buyer with a complete schedule of all outstanding (a) gift certificates, donations and other similar obligations which have been distributed by Seller or Seller’s Manager and (b) trade credits, trade-out or barter arrangements payable by Seller to any other party for services rendered in the past or to be rendered in the future; provided, however, that the foregoing schedule shall include any gift certificates or trade credits related to the Hotel operation, including any such obligations which constitute obligations of the Seller pursuant to the Franchise Agreement (collectively, “Hotel Credits”). Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for all obligations of Seller pursuant to any such Hotel Credits. In addition, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for the value of any gift certificates, complimentary rooms, donations or other similar obligations which have been distributed or given by Seller prior to Closing (based upon the “rack” rate for each room or the advertised price to the extent pertaining to goods or services other than rooms), but not including any such items that constitute obligations of Seller under the Franchise Agreement. This Section shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.

Seller shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Buyer and its agents harmless against any and all Losses arising out of or with respect to any such trade-out or barter arrangements and any such gift certificates, donations or other similar obligations required to be but not credited to Buyer at Closing;

(12) Other Items. All other items, including prepaid items (except pre-paid advertising) being assumed by Buyer, tour/travel agent’s commissions, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, that are subject to prorations shall be prorated as of the date of Closing; and

(13) Cash on Hand. Seller and Buyer shall count all cash on hand at the Hotel as of the Closing Time (the “House Fund”). On the Closing Date, all House Fund shall be kept at the Hotel . At Closing, Seller shall assign and transfer to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the House Fund; provided, however, that Buyer shall pay Seller for the amount of the House Fund, in addition to and not as part of the Purchase Price.

(g) Intangible Property, Inventories, and Personal Property. Seller shall not receive a credit for the value of any item of Intangible Property, Inventories or Personal Property, all of which are included in the Purchase Price, and there will be no prorations or adjustments therefor. Seller shall transfer to Buyer at the Closing all such Intangible Property, Inventories and Personal Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Buyer and Seller shall prepare an inventory (“Original Inventory”) of Personal Property as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller. Three (3) days prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall perform a new inventory (“New Inventory”) of Personal Property. To the extent any of the items of Personal Property specified in the Original Inventory are not set forth in the New Inventory (and such disappearance is not due to any act of omission of Buyer or any of its affiliates or agents), the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect the reduction of Personal Property set forth in the New Inventory. For purposes of calculating such adjustments, the parties shall assign values to the Personal Property equal to the actual cost (less depreciation) of such items, or if such actual cost/depreciation data is not available, then the value shall be based on the parties good faith estimate of the current fair market value of the particular item(s) of Personal Property

Any reference to proration on a “daily basis” means that Seller shall receive a credit for any expenditures made by Seller which are to be prorated in such manner hereunder calculated by multiplying such expenditure by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days within the period for which the payment was made beginning on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days within the period for which such payment was made; and Buyer shall receive a credit for expenditures made or to be made by Buyer to be prorated in such manner hereunder, calculated by multiplying such expenditure by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days within the period for which the payment was made prior to the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days within the period for which such payment was made.

If any supplemental billing is issued or new information learned with respect to any of the foregoing prorations or credits (including supplemental tax bills relating to or covering any period prior to the Closing Date), the same shall be adjusted and prorated between Seller and

Buyer as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing. In any event, to the fullest extent possible, Seller and Buyer shall jointly prepare a final schedule of adjustments (the “Final Statement”) within sixty (60) days after Closing and either party owing the other a sum of money shall pay such sum within ten (10) days after such Final Statement is prepared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Prorations shall be subject to a final adjustment between the parties on or before sixty (60) days after the Closing, and either party owing the other a sum of money shall pay such sum within ten (10) days after such final adjustment. In addition, to the extent that more than five percent (5%) of the Accounts Receivable acquired by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.6(f)(3), above remain outstanding sixty (60) days from the Closing, then Seller shall re-acquire such remaining accounts receivable by paying to Buyer one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such remaining Accounts Receivable, which amount shall be includable in the Final Statement set forth above. If any dispute arises between Buyer and Seller in connection with such Final Statement or final adjustment for prorations, the parties shall diligently and in good faith attempt to resolve any such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within forty-five (45) days after the date such dispute arose, then the parties shall submit such dispute to an independent accountant reasonably acceptable to the parties, and the determination of such independent accountant shall be conclusive. The fees and expenses of such independent accountant shall be paid equally by Buyer and Seller. The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the Closing.

Section 9.7 Brokers. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that it did not employ or use any broker or finder to arrange or bring about this transaction, and that there are no claims or rights for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for Secured Capital Corporation (“Seller’s Broker”) (the fee or commission for whom shall be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement), Seller represents and warrants to Buyer only (nothing in this provision nor any other provision of this Agreement being intended to create any rights on the part of any third party beneficiary, or to create any third party beneficiary) that Seller has not employed any other broker with respect to this transaction, other than Seller’s Broker, and Seller shall only pay the Seller’s Broker. If any person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings, or communication with Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Buyer shall defend Seller from such claim, and shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from any and all Losses incurred by Seller with respect to the claim. If any person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings, or communication with Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than Seller’s Broker, then Seller shall defend Buyer from such claim, and shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any and all Losses incurred by Buyer with respect to the claim. The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement and shall not be subject to the twelve (12)-month limitation set forth in Section 6.2.

Section 9.8 Expenses. Except as provided in Sections 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, and 10.9, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, in the case of Buyer, all third-party engineering and environmental review costs, its inspection costs, attorney costs, due diligence costs.

Seller shall be responsible for any and all notices to employees and governmental authorities as may be required by applicable law in connection with such terminations (each, a “Termination Notice”), including the sixty (60) day notice required by the Warn Act, if applicable. All salaries, wages, fringe benefits, pension or retirement benefits, accrued vacation and sick leave, accrued incentive compensation, severance costs, and other compensation or liabilities of whatever nature accrued or attributable to the employment of such terminated employees through the Closing, including any applicable federal, state and local taxes, will be paid by Seller at Seller’s sole cost to each respective terminated employee or to the appropriate taxing authority as required by law and Buyer shall have no responsibility therefor. Seller shall defend, indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with (i) any employment claims asserted by its employees at the Property which relate to events that occurred or accrued prior to the Closing, including any claim by any employee with respect to any alleged discrimination, breach of contract or other wrongful termination accruing prior to the Closing Date; (ii) any claim related to Seller’s termination of one or more employees or any benefit plans, whether based on tort, contract or any federal, state or local law, statute or regulation, except to the extent such claim relates to the failure of Buyer to hire a sufficient number of terminated employees with respect to the WARN Act as provided in this Section, (iii) any alleged right to workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment compensation or statutory or contractual severance, including claims for any withdrawal liability or unfunded liability incurred because of participation in any pension plan covered by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 or other multiemployer pension plan or similar fund with respect to Hotel employees employed (or formerly employed) by Seller which accrued prior to Closing. Buyer hereby agrees to offer or cause an offer of employment to be made as of the Closing the lesser of eighty percent (80%) of the employees terminated by Seller or Manager as of the Closing and a sufficient number of former employees of Seller or Manager terminated as of the Closing, so as to avoid WARN Act exposure to Seller, and, subject to any such employee’s acceptance of such offer of employment, to thereafter hire and employ such employee. Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s Indemnitees from and against all Losses, arising out of any liability under the WARN Act resulting from Buyer’s failure to employ comply with the foregoing sentence. Seller’s and Buyer’s respective obligations under this Section 9.10 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge with the Deed.

(b) Buyer shall not assume any liabilities or obligations of Seller or Manager relating to any pension, retirement or other benefit plan payable to, or accrued with respect of, any employee of the Hotel.

(c) Seller shall deliver or cause Manager to deliver notices to all employees of the Property under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 2101 and any similar State or local statute or ordinance (collectively, the “WARN Act”) at such time as Buyer may designate in its reasonable discretion after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer has delivered its Notice to Proceed.

(a) Minor Loss/Condemnation. Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to or destruction of the Improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Land, provided that: (a) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction to the Improvements, or the diminution in the value of the remaining Land as a result of a partial condemnation, equals (i) with respect to any casualty, seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the Purchase Price or less, or (ii) with respect to any condemnation, $1,000,000, as applicable, and such damage, destruction or condemnation will not materially impair Buyer’s ability to operate the Hotel after the Closing, and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible and any deficiency needed to restore the Property. To the extent any insurance proceeds or awards have not been collected by Seller as of the Closing, then such uncollected proceeds or awards, and all claims for insurance proceeds and awards, shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to the Closing to repair or restore the Property or to collect any such proceeds or awards as set forth above. During the Escrow through the Closing, Seller shall continue to maintain casualty in the amounts currently maintained by Seller.

To the extent any insurance proceeds or awards have not been collected by Seller as of the Closing, then such uncollected proceeds or awards, and all claims for insurance

proceeds and awards, shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to the Closing to repair or restore the Property, including barricades and other temporary repairs required for safety purposes, or to collect any such proceeds or awards as set forth above.
