(ii) the material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Contract;

(iv) any claim made or asserted by an employee of Seller arising out of such Seller’s decision to sell its Property; and

(b) Indemnification of Seller. Without in any way limiting or diminishing the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available to Sellers for a breach hereof, Buyer hereby agrees, with respect to this Contract, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller (and its respective members) from and against all losses, judgments, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature and description in existence before, on or after Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, joint or several, arising out of or relating to:

(iii) the conduct and operation by Buyer of its business at the Hotels after the Closing; and

(iv) any liability or obligation of Buyer expressly assumed by Buyer at Closing.

(c) Indemnification Procedure for Claims of Third Parties. Indemnification, with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this Contract (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party or parties from which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim for indemnification based on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.9, which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

(ii) If in any action, suit or proceeding (a “Legal Action”) the relief sought is solely the payment of money damages, and if the Indemnifying Party specifically agrees in writing to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect thereto and demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of such Indemnified Party its financial ability to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, commencing thirty (30) days after such notice, at its option, to elect to settle, compromise or defend, pursuant to this paragraph, by its own counsel and at its own expense, any such Legal Action involving such Indemnified Party’s

asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to settle, compromise or defend any such Legal Action, such settlement, compromise or defense shall be conducted in the sole discretion of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information concerning such settlement, compromise or defense as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request from time to time. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to settle, compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify such Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of notice from such Indemnified Party provided above.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection of this Contract, until the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of the Legal Action, the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party. Furthermore, (x) if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (y) if the Legal Action involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief; or (z) if a judgment against Buyer, as the Indemnified Party, in the Legal Action will, in the good faith opinion of Buyer, establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interest of the continuing business of the Hotel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Legal Action and the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to approve legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the defense of the Legal Action is handled by the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this subsection, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in conducting such defense only if the final, non-appealable decision rendered in any such Legal Action is in favor of the Indemnified Party and not the third party who commences the Legal Action.

(iv) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnified Party (w) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed as to the status of such Legal Action at all stages thereof, whether or not the Indemnified Party is represented by its own counsel, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, all books and records of the Indemnifying Party relating to such Legal Action and (z) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Legal Action.

(v) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not make settlement of any claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent

shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against Seller or Buyer or its respective assets, employees, Affiliates or business, or relief which Seller or Buyer reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business.

8.10 Escrow Funds of Sellers. To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against the applicable Seller hereunder, at Closing, the Sellers shall collectively deposit an amount equal to One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (for all of the Hotels, “Seller’s Escrow Funds”) to be allocated among the Sellers as hereinafter provided and withheld from the Purchase Price payable to a Seller and shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to escrow agreements reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Sellers (each a “Seller’s Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and Seller’s Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing and shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Contract. If no claims have been asserted by Buyer against the Seller of a particular Hotel, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such one-year period, Seller’s Escrow Funds deposited by the Seller of such Hotel shall be released to such Seller. Seller’s Escrow Funds withheld from each Seller shall be equal to the sum of $1,000,000.00 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchase Price for such Seller’s Hotel and the denominator of which is the aggregate Purchase Price for all of the Hotels. In the event that Buyer makes a claim subsequent to the Closing against a Seller as a result of any breach by such Seller in connection with this Contract, any recovery in connection with the Buyer’s claims against such Seller, including legal fees and expenses, shall be limited to Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

If no claims have been asserted by Sellers against Buyer, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such one-year period, Buyer’s Escrow Funds deposited by Buyer shall be released to Buyer.

In the event that one or more Sellers makes a claim subsequent to the Closing against the Buyer as a result of any breach by the Buyer in connection with this Contract, any aggregate recovery in connection with such Sellers’ claims against the Buyer, including legal fees and expenses, shall be limited to the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) which shall include Buyer’s Escrow Funds. Sellers shall have no further recourse against the Buyer in connection with any breach under this Contract. There shall be no recourse against the Buyer

The Manager or an Affiliate thereof approved by Buyer shall have or shall have obtained all liquor licenses and alcoholic beverage licenses or banquet licenses, as appropriate and necessary or desirable to operate any restaurants, bars and lounges presently located within the Hotel (collectively, the “Liquor Licenses”) and, in the case of an Affiliate of the Manager, the Hotel has the right to use such Liquor License. If permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, to the extent practicable, Sellers shall cause Manager to, at Buyer’s expense, execute and file any and all necessary forms, applications and other documents (and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with the Manager in filing such forms, applications and other documents) with the appropriate liquor and alcoholic beverage authorities prior to Closing so that the Liquor Licenses remain in full force and effect upon completion of Closing.

In the event that (a) any loss or damage to any Hotel shall occur prior to the Closing Date as a result of fire or other casualty, or (b) any Seller receives notice that a governmental authority has initiated or threatened to initiate a condemnation proceeding affecting its Hotel, such Seller shall give Buyer immediate written notice of such loss, damage or condemnation proceeding (which notice shall include a certification of (i) the amounts of insurance coverages in effect with respect to the loss or damage and (ii) if known, the amount of the award to be received in such condemnation).

Deposit, and any interest thereon, shall be delivered to Buyer and thereafter, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Contract as to such Hotel.

14.1 Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults under this Contract with respect to any Hotel after the Review Period, and such default continues for thirty (30) days following written notice from the applicable Seller (provided no notice shall extend the time for Closing), then at such Sellers’ election by written notice to Buyer, this Contract shall be terminated and of no effect as to such Hotel, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit as to such Hotel, including any interest thereon, shall be paid to and retained by such Seller as such Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, and as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default or failure to close, and both Buyer and such Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder.

14.2 Seller Default. If any Seller defaults under this Contract, and such default continues for thirty (30) days following written notice from Buyer, Buyer may elect, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) to terminate this Contract as to such Seller by written notice to such Seller delivered to that Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the applicable Earnest Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be returned to the Buyer, and thereafter both the Buyer and such Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations with respect to this Contract, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect by written notice to such Seller delivered to such Seller at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the Buyer shall have the right to an action against the defaulting Seller for specific performance.

14.3 Attorney’s Fees. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if it shall be necessary for either the Buyer or any Seller to employ an attorney to enforce its rights pursuant to this Contract because of the default of the other party, and the non-defaulting party is successful in enforcing such rights, then the defaulting party shall reimburse the non-defaulting party for the non-defaulting party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses.

Escrow Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any legal action in connection with this Agreement or its enforcement or to appear in, prosecute or defend any action or legal proceeding which, in the opinion of Escrow Agent, would or might involve Escrow Agent in any cost, expense, loss, damage or liability, unless and as often as requested, Escrow Agent shall be furnished with security and indemnity satisfactory to Escrow Agent against all such costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), losses, damages and liabilities.

or such other address or addresses as may be expressly designated by any party by notice given in accordance with the foregoing provisions and actually received by the party to whom addressed.

8. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
