 4.1 Survey. Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and

Commitment, it shall be conclusively assumed that Buyer has approved same. If Buyer disapproves any condition of title, survey or other matters by written objection to Seller on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Seller shall elect
either to attempt to cure or not cure any such item by written notice sent to Buyer within five (5) days after its receipt of notice from Buyer, and if Seller commits in writing to attempt to cure any such item, then Seller shall be given until
the Closing Date to cure any such defect. In the event Seller shall fail to cure a defect which Seller has committed in writing to cure prior to Closing, or if a new title defect arises after the date of Buyer’s Title Commitment or Survey, as
applicable, but prior to Closing, then Buyer may elect, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) to waive such objection and proceed to Closing, or (ii) to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Earnest Money Deposit,
and any interest thereon. The items shown on the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Buyer as set forth above (other than exceptions and title defects arising after the title review period and other than those standard exceptions which are
ordinarily 
  

 10 








 and customarily omitted in the state in which the applicable Hotel is located, so long as Seller provides the appropriate

 (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 8.8, 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, in the case of clause
(z), 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. 
  

 20 








 (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, accounts and other representatives, all books and
records of Seller 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.

settlement of any claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 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 Buyer or its respective assets, employees, Affiliates or business, or relief which Buyer reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of
its continuing business. 
 8.9 Escrow Funds. To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller as
provided in this Agreement, Seller shall deposit at Closing an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) which shall be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to Seller as
an adjustment at closing, which shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller (the
“Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and 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 Seller, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such 1-year period, the Escrow Funds deposited by Seller, or such portion thereof as shall remain shall be released to Seller. 
 In the event that the Buyer makes a claim subsequent to the Closing against the Seller as a result of any breach by the Seller in connection with this
Agreement, any recovery in connection with the Buyer’s claims against the Seller, including legal fees and expenses, shall be limited to the sum of Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars, which shall include the Escrow Funds. Buyer shall have no
further recourse against the Seller in connection with any breach under this Agreement. There shall be no recourse against the Seller under this Agreement unless the Seller is notified of the matter claimed by the Buyer to have been breached by the
Seller within one (1) year from the date of the Closing under this Agreement. 
 8.10 Intentionally Omitted.

the Closing all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards which Seller has received as a result of the same, plus an amount equal to the insurance deductible, and assign to Buyer all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of
the same, in which event the Closing shall occur without Seller replacing or repairing such damage and without reduction in the Purchase Price. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 DEFAULT REMEDIES 
 14.1 Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults under this Contract after the Review Period, and such default continues for ten (10) days following written notice from Seller (provided no notice shall extend the
time for Closing), then at Seller’s election by written notice to Buyer, this Contract shall be terminated and of no effect, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be paid to and retained by the Seller
as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, and as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default or failure to close, and both Buyer and Seller shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder. 
  

 28 








 14.2 Seller Default. If 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 by written notice to Seller delivered to that Seller at any time prior to the completion of
such cure, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit, including any interest thereon, shall be returned to the Buyer, and thereafter both the Buyer and 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 Seller delivered to 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 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.
