 ARTICLE VII 
 ADJUSTMENTS AND
PRORATIONS-CLOSING STATEMENTS 
 7.01 Adjustments and Prorations. The following matters and items shall be apportioned between the parties
based on actual daily amounts or, where appropriate, credited in total to a particular party, as provided below, provided all apportionments and credits made by or in favor of Purchaser or Seller as set forth below (excluding (a))
shall only be made, to the extent of the Purchaser Prorata Share of all such amounts in the case of Purchaser, and to the extent of the Seller Prorata Share of all such amounts in the case of Seller, i.e. if Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to
a net $100 credit as provided below, the actual credit will be $49, and if Seller would otherwise be entitled to a net $100 credit as provided below, the actual credit will be $51: 
 (a) The Purchaser Prorata Share of the outstanding principal balance of the Closing Financing as of the Cut-off Time shall be credited to Purchaser.

 (b) All ad valorem taxes, special or general assessments, assessments under any Scheduled Encumbrances (collectively, “Property
Taxes”), personal property taxes, water and sewer rents, rates and charges, vault charges, canopy permit fees, and other permit fees shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time provided, however, (i) if any taxes or assessments relating to
the 

  

 33 








 
period prior to the Closing are paid in installments which are then due and payable, then Owner shall pay on or before Closing Date any remaining
installments thereof and (ii) real property tax prorations shall be based on when such taxes and assessments accrue and become a lien on the Property, notwithstanding when such taxes become due and payable. 
 (c) Fees paid or payable in connection with transfer of Permits (other than Excluded Permits) shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time. 
 (d) All payments due under the Management Agreement shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time. Without limitation of the foregoing, any incentive fees due
and payable under the Management Agreement for the calendar year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller in the same proportion as gross revenues accrue under the Management Agreement prior to and after the Cut-off
Time. As an example only, if for the calendar year in which Closing occurs seventy-five (75%) percent of the gross revenues have accrued under the Management Agreement as of the Cut-off Time, Seller shall be responsible for seventy-five
(75%) percent of the incentive fees and Purchaser shall be responsible for twenty-five (25%) percent of the incentive fees for such calendar year. 
 (e) Purchaser shall receive a credit for (i) advance payments or deposits, if any, made pursuant to any Bookings, (ii) all commissions due to credit and referral organizations attributable to stays (or
portions thereof) prior to the Cut-off Time that are outstanding, and (iii) a percentage of all outstanding gift certificates issued for any use of the Hotel facilities including, without limitation, rooms and food and beverage, and any
commitments made for the free use of any hotel facilities, which percentage shall be based upon the amount, age and historic redemption rate of gift certificates and commitments for free use at the Hotel. Seller shall receive a credit for coin
machine, telephone, washroom, and checkroom income arising before the Cut-off Time. 
 (f) Gas, electricity and other utility charges shall
be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing (but subject to later readjustment as set forth below) with Seller receiving a credit for each deposit and reserve, if any, made by or on behalf of
Seller for utilities so long as such deposit or reserve remains on account for the benefit of Owner or New Operating Lessee. 
 (g)
Operational and/or occupancy taxes shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time. 
 (h) Telephone and telex contracts and contracts for the
supply of heat, steam, electric power, gas, lighting and any other utility service shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time, with Seller receiving a credit for each deposit and reserve, if any, made by or on behalf of Owner or that will benefit New
Operating Lessee for utilities or under contracts, including reserves maintained under the Management Agreement, provided such deposit or reserve remains on account for the benefit of Owner or New Operating Lessee. Where possible, cut-off readings
will be secured for all utilities on the Closing Date. 
 (i) Any amounts prepaid, payable or accrued under any Hotel Contracts and Space
Leases, if any, shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time. Percentage rent (i.e., that portion of the rent payable to landlord by tenants under the Space Leases which is a percentage of the 

  

 34 








 
amount of sales or of the dollar amount of sales), if any, payable under each Space Lease shall be prorated with respect to the year thereunder in which
Closing occurs on a per diem basis. If the actual amounts to be prorated are not known as of Closing, the prorations shall be made on the basis of the best evidence then available and reconciled as provided in Section 7.02(b). 
 (j) Proratable Compensation of Employees shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time. 
 (k) Accounts Receivable, Qualifying Receivables and trade Accounts Payable shall be identified as of the Cut-off Time. Seller shall receive a credit in
the amount of the Qualifying Receivables as of the Cut-off Time. Purchaser shall receive a credit for all trade Accounts Payable as of the Cut-off Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall receive a credit equal to one-half of the amount
of transient guest room rentals for the full night which begins on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, provided all revenues from any bars and lounges at the Hotel shall be prorated based on the actual closing time for such bar or
lounge. For example, if such bar or lounge closes at 2 a.m. on the Closing Date, Seller shall retain the revenues from such services and operations even if such revenues were generated two (2) hours after the Cut-off Time. Thereafter, revenue
from the Hotel attributable to food and beverage and other sales or services shall belong to Owner (as indirectly owned by Seller and Purchaser). Purchaser is not acquiring Accounts Receivable, and all Accounts Receivable shall be transferred to and
remain the sole property of Seller. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any sales and/or hotel/motel occupancy taxes collected or otherwise due and payable in connection with the revenue allocated to such party under
this Section 7.01(k) and shall indemnify (which indemnity shall survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years), defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred as a result
of the failure to pay such taxes. 
 (l) The total value of the Unopened Consumable Inventory that constitutes alcoholic beverages as
reflected in inventory thereof shall be credited to Seller. 
 (m) Cash-On-Hand and Account Cash shall be credited to Seller (since Purchaser
will after the Restructuring receive the economic benefit of the Purchaser Prorata Share thereof). 
 (n) Pre-paid premiums for polices of
insurance shall be credited to Seller. 
 (o) The parties acknowledge that certain taxes and assessments accrue and are payable to the
various local governments by any business entity operating a hotel and its related facilities. Included in those taxes and assessments may be business and occupation taxes, retail sales taxes, parking taxes, gross receipts taxes, and other special
lodging or hotel taxes and assessments. For purposes of this Agreement, all of such taxes and assessments (expressly excluding taxes and assessments covered elsewhere in this Agreement or corporate franchise taxes, and federal, state and local
income taxes) shall be allocated between Seller and Owner such that those attributable to the period prior to the Cut-off Time shall be allocable to Seller and those attributable to the period after the Cut-off Time shall be allocable to Owner.

 (p) Reserved. 
  

 35 








 (q) Such other items as are provided for in this Agreement or as are normally prorated and adjusted in
the sale of a hotel shall be prorated as of the Cut-off Time, taking into account the effect of the Restructuring on the ongoing economic interests of the parties through the Purchaser’s and Seller’s ownership interest in Seller Mezz II
and its direct and indirect subsidiaries that will become effective after the Closing. 
 7.02 Adjustment and Proration Procedures.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions: 
 (a) Any Property Taxes shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Any such
proration made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual Property Taxes for the
current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves following Closing. All necessary adjustments shall be made within fifteen (15) business days
after the tax bill for the current year is received. Any Property Taxes disputed with governmental authorities shall be handled as provided in Article XIV. 
 (b) As of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly conduct or cause the Manager to conduct an inventory of all Unopened Consumable Inventory constituting alcoholic beverages
on hand as of the Closing Date. Such inventory shall reflect the value of such Unopened Consumable Inventory on hand as of the Closing Date at the acquisition cost thereof. 
 (c) Rents and other amounts payable under the Space Leases which are delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be pro rated as of the Cut-off Time. To
the extent that Owner or New Operating Lessee receives rents or other payments payable under the Space Leases on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied first towards the payment in full of all rents currently due with respect to
periods following the Cut-off Time, with the balance applied to delinquent rents or other amounts due for the benefit of Seller for the period prior to the Cut-off Time. With respect to any Space Leases which provide for the payment of percentage
rent by the tenant thereunder, the parties shall use good faith efforts to prorate such percentage rent as of the Closing and, within twenty (20) days after completion of the annual reconciliation of such percentage rent payments with each such
tenant, the parties agree to reprorate percentage rent based on the actual percentage rent paid by such tenant, and the party in whose favor such original proration was made shall refund such difference to the other party promptly thereafter

 7.03 Cut-off Time. Items to be prorated and adjusted shall, unless otherwise provided, be prorated as of the Cut-off Time. 
 7.04 Payment. Any net credit due to Seller as a result of the adjustments and prorations under Section 7.01 shall increase by such amount the Combined
Purchase Price to be paid to Seller and Other Seller in cash at the time of Closing. Any net credit due to Purchaser as a result of the adjustments and prorations under Section 7.01 shall reduce by such amount the Combined Purchase Price to be
paid by Purchaser at the time of Closing. 
  

 36 








 7.05 Cash and Accounts. At the Closing, Owner and New Operating Lessee shall retain all Cash-On-Hand and
Account Cash such that after the Closing and Restructuring the Purchaser will receive the economic benefit of the Purchaser Prorata Share thereof. 
 7.06
Closing Statements. 
 (a) Preparation. Each party shall cause its designated representatives to enter the
Hotel only at reasonable times and without unreasonably interfering with operations, both before and after the Closing Date, for the purpose of making such inventories, examinations, and audits of the Hotel, and of the books and records of the
Hotel, as they deem necessary to make the adjustments and prorations required under this Article VII, or under any other provisions of this Agreement. Based upon such inventories, examinations, and audits, at the Closing, the representatives of the
parties shall jointly prepare and deliver to each party a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which shall show the net amount due either to Seller or Purchaser as a result thereof, and such net amount will
be added to or subtracted in determining the Combined Purchase Price to be paid to Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof. Subject to any reproration or adjustment contemplated by other sections of this Agreement, within ninety (90) days
following the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall agree on an updated closing statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the final determination of all items to be included on the Final Closing Statement. The net amount
due Seller or Purchaser, if any, by reason of adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Statement as shown in the Final Closing Statement, shall be paid in cash by the party obligated therefor within ten (10) days following the date of the Final
Closing Statement. 
 (b) Disputes. In the event the representatives of the parties are unable to reach agreement with respect
to preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement and such disputed amounts are in an aggregate amount not greater than One Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 ($1,500,000.00) Dollars, then, the disputed amount shall be held in a joint order
Escrow, pending agreement of the parties or the determination of the Accountants and the Closing shall occur. Purchaser shall be required to deposit in the Escrow any additional sum of the disputed amount which it may be required to pay. Any such
dispute shall survive and be subject to later resolution pursuant to this Section 7.06. In the event the representatives of the parties are unable to reach agreement with respect to either the Preliminary Closing Statement within such limited
disputed amount, or the Final Closing Statement, the parties shall submit their dispute to a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized standing in the hotel industry, which will certify at the time of such dispute that it does
not have a conflict. The following are firms acceptable to the parties: Deloitte, Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers (the “Accountants”). To select the firm that will resolve the dispute, the parties shall pick by random
selection one of the Accountants. Each party hereby represents and warrants that none of the Accountants has a direct conflict as of the date of this Agreement, although one or more of the Accountants has performed work for Seller and/or Purchaser
(or their respective Affiliates) in the past. 
 (c) Period for Recalculation. Notwithstanding the terms of
Section 7.06(a), but subject to the terms of Section 7.01, if at any time within six (6) months following the Closing Date, either party discovers any items which should have been included in the Final Closing Statement but were
omitted therefrom, then such items shall be adjusted in the same manner as if 

  

 37 








 
their existence had been known at the time of the preparation of the Final Closing Statement. The foregoing limitations and provision for the Final Closing
Statement shall not apply to any items which, by their nature, cannot be finally determined within the periods specified, which shall be further adjusted from time to time when they can finally be determined. 
 7.07 Survival. The provisions of this Article VII shall survive the Closing until fully performed. 
 ARTICLE VIII

 (a) If any damage to
the Property shall occur after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date by reason of fire, windstorm, earthquake, hail, explosion or other casualty, and if the cost to repair the Hotel is equal to or greater than Ten Million and No/100
Dollars ($10,000,000.00) as a result of such casualty, Purchaser or Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such event, but no later than the Closing Date, whereupon the

 ARTICLE XIV 
 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 
 14.01 Additional Covenants. In addition, the parties agree as follows:

 (a) Tax Appeal Proceedings. Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the proceeds from any tax appeals or protests for
tax fiscal years prior to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs. In the event an application to reduce real estate taxes is filed for tax fiscal years prior to the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to a reproration of real estate
taxes upon receipt of and based upon the reduction. Any pending appeals or protests with respect to the tax fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs shall continue to be processed, and the net proceeds from any such proceedings, after payment of
attorneys’ fees and other costs associated with such process, will be prorated between the parties, when received, as of the Closing Date. The apportionment obligations in this subsection shall survive the Closing. Tax fiscal years refer to the
tax years for which taxes accrue, even if payable in a subsequent year. 
 (b) Reserved. 
 (c) Survival. The representations, warranties, obligations, covenants, agreements, undertakings, and indemnifications of Seller and
Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing only to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, provided the parties agree that the terms and conditions of Article II shall survive the Closing. 
 (d) Publicity. Prior to Closing, all notices to third parties and all other publicity concerning the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be jointly planned and coordinated by and between Purchaser and Seller. Neither party shall act unilaterally in this regard without the prior written approval of the other; however, this approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and no planning, coordination or approval shall be required for disclosure required by Legal Requirements or exchange regulations, provided that the party subject to such Legal Requirement or regulation shall provide prior notice to the
other party that such disclosure will be made with reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure. 
 (e) Assignment. Neither
all nor any portion of Purchaser’s interest under this Agreement may be sold, assigned, encumbered, conveyed, or otherwise transferred, whether directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise including,
without limitation, by a transfer of interest in Purchaser (collectively, a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or denied in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, provided Purchaser
may assign to an Affiliate of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (Realty) Pte Ltd without obtaining such consent. Any attempted Transfer which is restricted herein without Seller’s consent shall be null and void other than as
provided herein. No transfer, whether with or without Seller’s consent: (i) shall operate to release Purchaser or alter Purchaser’s primary liability to perform the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement or (ii) shall
cause Seller to incur any cost or other economic detriment in connection with such Transfer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. 
  

 44 








 (f) Business Days. If the Closing Date or any other date described in this Agreement by
which one party hereto must give notice to the other party hereto or must fulfill an obligation is a Saturday, Sunday or a day observed by the Federal government or by the State of Illinois government as a legal holiday (all other days a
“Business Day”), then such Closing Date or such other date shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. 
 (g) Headings. Descriptive headings are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of
this Agreement. 
 (h) Interpretation. Whenever the context hereof shall so require, the singular shall include the plural, the
male gender shall include the female gender and neuter and vice versa. This Agreement and any related instruments shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other by virtue of the fact that initial drafts were made and
prepared by counsel for one of the parties, it being recognized that this Agreement and any related instruments are the product of extensive negotiations between the parties hereto and that both parties hereto have contributed substantially and
materially to the final preparation of this Agreement and all related instruments. 
 (i) Severability. If any term, provision,
covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the
fullest extent possible . 
 (j) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each and every term, provision and covenant of this
Agreement. 
 (k) Counterparts and Entire Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and/or by
telefacsimile or pdf signature, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement (including all exhibits hereto) contains the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all prior letters of intent, understandings, or other agreement, whether written or oral, if any, with respect thereto and may not be amended, supplemented or terminated, nor shall any
Obligation hereunder or condition hereof be deemed waived, except by a written instrument to such effect signed by the party to be charged. 
 (l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. 
  

 45 








 (m) IRS Reporting Requirements. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that
Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may require that notice of the sale and purchase described in this Agreement, be provided to the IRS by preparation of and filing with the IRS of IRS Form 1099-B; and further, Seller and
Purchaser agree to furnish and provide to the Escrow Company any and all information that the Escrow Company may require in order for the Escrow Company to (a) comply with all instructions to the IRS Form 1099-B in the preparation thereof, and
(b) prepare and timely file with the IRS said IRS Form 1099-B with respect to this transaction. 
 (n) 1031 Exchange. If
Seller elects (the “Electing Party”) to conduct a tax free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, then the Purchaser agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate (the “Cooperating
Party”) with the Electing Party in conducting such tax free exchange under such Section 1031 of the Code relating to this transaction. In the event of such an election, the Electing Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the
Cooperating Party harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, that the Cooperating Party may suffer or incur by reason
of such exchange. Seller expressly reserves the right to assign its rights, but not its obligations, hereunder to a Qualified Intermediary as provided in IRC Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before the Closing Date. The Cooperating Party agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, but at no cost, expense or risk to said Cooperating Party, and use commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions reasonably requested by the Electing Party, to cause such exchange to be consummated
and to qualify as a like kind exchange under such Section 1031 of the Code, including, but not limited to, (a) permitting this Agreement to be assigned to a Qualified Intermediary and (b) permitting the Purchaser Property Interest to
be conveyed to, or at the direction of, the Qualified Intermediary. In no event, however, shall any such exchange extend, delay or otherwise adversely affect the Closing Date and in no event shall the Cooperating Party be required to take title to
any other property in connection with such exchange. Seller will have the right to assign contracts to procure replacement properties and other contracts relating to the exchange to Seller, an Affiliate of Seller, or otherwise. The provisions of
this subsection shall survive the Closing. 
 ARTICLE XV 
 DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS AND DOCUMENTS 
 15.01 Delivery of Purchase Price. At the Closing, Escrow Company
shall deliver to, or at the direction of, Seller the Combined Purchase Price determined after taking into account prorations or other charges set forth as the Preliminary Closing Statement that are to be deducted therefrom. 
 15.02 Other Monetary Disbursements. Escrow Company shall, at the Closing, hold for personal pickup or arrange for wire transfer, (i) to Seller, or

executed counterparts of the closing documents.

 ARTICLE XVI 
 ESCROW COMPANY DUTIES AND DISPUTES 
 16.01 Escrow
Company. Seller and Purchaser hereby retain Escrow Company, and Escrow Company agrees to be retained, to act as escrow agent for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Escrow Company agrees to undertake and perform the obligations and
duties provided for in this Agreement. Except for any fee required to set up an interest-bearing account as provided for in Section 16.02 below and any fees or costs specifically allocated to either Seller or Purchaser under the terms of this
Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall equally split the reasonable fees charged by Escrow Company in conjunction with its provision of services as provided herein. 
 16.02 Escrow Funds. Escrow Company shall deposit the Earnest Money into an interest-bearing account (“Earnest Money Escrow Account”) to be maintained by Escrow Company and Escrow Company agrees to hold, invest and
disburse the Earnest Money in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 16.03 Termination of Escrow. Interest earned on the Earnest Money
under this Agreement shall become additional Earnest Money. 
 16.04 No Third Party Rights. No term or provision of this Article XVI is
intended to benefit any person, partnership, corporation or other entity not a party hereto (including, without limitation, any broker), and no such other person, partnership, corporation or entity shall have any right or cause of action hereunder.

 16.05 Disputes and Attorneys’ Fees. If either party shall engage the services of counsel for the purpose of enforcing any of the rights
or remedies of said party under this Agreement or any closing document (or defend itself in any proceeding brought against it by the other party); or there is any litigation proceeding commenced to enforce any provisions or rights arising herein or
under such closing documents, then in addition to any relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, such fees to be reasonably determined by the applicable court. In the event of arbitration, the non-prevailing party in such arbitration shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the prevailing party, such fees to be determined by the applicable arbitrator. In the event that the parties mutually agree on some other form of alternative
dispute resolution, each of the parties shall bear its own costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). 
  

 47 








 16.06 Further Instruments. All parties, promptly upon the request of any other, shall execute and have
acknowledged and delivered to the other parties, any and all further instruments reasonably requested or appropriate to evidence or give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which are consistent with the provisions hereof. 
 16.07 Records and Reports. Escrow Company shall maintain records that accurately reflect all draw requests and withdrawals from the Earnest Money Escrow
Account. 
 16.08 Liability of Escrow Company. The parties agree that the duties of Escrow Company are purely administrative in nature and that
Escrow Company shall not be liable for any error of judgment, fact, or law, or any act done or omitted to be done, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Escrow Company’s determination as to whether (i) an event or
condition has occurred, or been met or satisfied; (ii) a provision of this Escrow Agreement has been complied with; or (iii) sufficient evidence of the event or condition of compliance with the provision has been furnished to it, shall not
subject it to any claim, liability, or obligation whatsoever, even if it shall be found that such determination was improper or incorrect; provided, only, that Escrow Company shall not have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in
making such determination. 
 16.09 Resignation by Escrow Company. Escrow Company may resign at any time upon giving the parties hereto thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice. In such event, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually select a firm, person or corporation to act as the successor escrow agent. The Escrow Company’s resignation shall not be effective until a successor
agrees to act hereunder; provided, however, if no successor is appointed and acting hereunder within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, Escrow Company may pay and deliver the proceeds then held in escrow into a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 16.10 Receipt of Notice of a Dispute. If, prior to Closing, Escrow Company receives written notice from Purchaser or Seller
that a dispute exists with respect to which proceedings have been commenced, Escrow Company shall retain the disputed portion of the Earnest Money, until the first to occur of the following:

Money Escrow Account. 
 ARTICLE XVII 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 17.01 Seller’s Remedies. IF PURCHASER FAILS TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE OF
THE PURCHASER PROPERTY INTEREST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS FAILURE TO TENDER 

  

 48 








 
THE COMBINED PURCHASE PRICE THEREFOR, AS DETERMINED BASED UPON THE ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN) FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT (A) THE FAILURE
OF ANY CONDITION PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IX OR (B) PURCHASER’S TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TERMS (“PURCHASER DEFAULT”), OR A “PURCHASER DEFAULT” AS DEFINED
IN THE OTHER AGREEMENT OCCURS, THEN SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED AS ITS SOLE REMEDY TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECOVER THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ANY CLAIMS AGAINST PURCHASER. SELLER AND
PURCHASER AGREE THAT THE SELLER’S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM PURCHASER’S DEFAULT ARE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY IS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF
SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CIVIL CODE SECTION, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO LAW AND ANY APPLICABLE CIVIL CODE SECTIONS. THE PARTIES HAVE SET
FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.

 17.02 Purchaser’s Remedies. If Seller fails to perform its Obligations under this Agreement for
any reason except the failure of any condition precedent to Seller’s Obligations under this Agreement, then Purchaser’s sole remedies shall be: (a) to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such election prior to
or at Closing (the “Default Notice”), whereupon the Escrow Company shall promptly return to Purchaser the Earnest Money, and neither party shall have any further obligations, except as may be specifically set forth herein; and provided
Purchaser may recover its actual damages from Seller in connection with the breach of this Agreement, and Purchaser may recover the actual damages from Other Seller in connection with the breach of the Other Agreement, in an aggregate amount, in
connection with both such agreements, not to exceed the amount of the Earnest Money, or (b) to waive the default and close. 
 17.03 Surviving
Obligations. If, following Closing, either party fails to perform any surviving obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to pursue any right and remedy to which such party is
entitled to in equity and at law, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 17.04 hereof. 
 17.04 Duration and Claims Procedures
and Limitations on Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 of this Agreement, as updated pursuant to the Purchaser’s
Closing Certificate and the Seller’s Closing Certificate (subject to the terms hereof), respectively (collectively, the “Post Closing Obligations”) shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the
Closing Date (the “Survival Period”) and shall not merge into 

  

 49 








 
any of the closing documents; provided, however, that no person, firm, or entity shall have any liability or obligation with respect to any Post Closing
Obligations unless on or prior to the date that is 16 months after the Closing Date, the party seeking to assert liability under such Post Closing Obligations shall have notified the other party in writing setting forth in reasonable detail the
claim being made and a detailed description and supporting documentation of the claim (such notice being a “Claims Notice”). In the event Purchaser or Seller has actual knowledge on or prior to the Closing that any representation or
warranty of the other party is incorrect or of any other claim that could be made after Closing with respect to the Post Closing Obligations (either through such party’s independent investigation or through information and materials provided to
such party by the other party) and such party (although not obligated to do so) closes, then such party shall not be permitted to assert a claim for such matters following the Closing Date. All liabilities and obligations under the Post Closing
Obligations shall lapse and be of no further force or effect after the last day of the Survival Period, except with respect to any matter contained in a Claims Notice delivered on or prior to the date that is 16 months after the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no claim under the Post Closing Obligations under this Agreement, and under the “Post Closing Obligations” under the Other Agreement, unless such
party’s damages exceed Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 ($500,000.00) Dollars in the aggregate under either or both such agreements, and that the aggregate liability of a party and its Affiliates with respect to any and all claims relating to
any Post Closing Obligations under this Agreement, and relating to any “Post Closing Obligations” under the Other Agreement, shall in no event exceed in the aggregate Five Million and No/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars, except (i) to the
extent arising out of the breaching party’s fraud, or a deliberate and intended misrepresentation that was to the knowledge of the breaching party known to be untrue when made, (ii) the Survival Period limitation on claims will not apply
to a breach of the tax representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01(i), and breaches of such Section 5.01(i) may be claimed even if the liability therefor exceeds the aggregate maximum liability limitation set forth above, and
(iii) liability for Post Closing Obligations relating to breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in the second sentence of Section 5.01(z) of this Agreement or the Other Agreement (collectively, “Section 5.01(z)
Claims”), will not be included in determining whether the foregoing aggregate Five Million and No/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars maximum amount has been reached, provided the aggregate liability with respect to Section 5.01(z) Claims under
this Agreement, and relating to any Section 5.01(z) Claims under the Other Agreement, shall in no event exceed the aggregate maximum liability amount of Ten Million and No/100 ($10,000,000.00) Dollars. 
 17.05 Survival. The provision of this Article XVII shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XVIII

 18.01 Restructuring. (a) Immediately following the Closing of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and by the end of business on the Closing Date (i) Seller shall cause Owner and Operating Lessee to distribute to Seller any Excluded Assets (it being agreed by Purchaser that neither it, nor its Affiliates, shall be entitled to
the economic benefit of the Excluded Assets), (ii) Purchaser and Seller shall enter into an amended and restated limited liability company Agreement for Seller Mezz II (“Operating Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit
“K” attached 

  

 50 








 
hereto, with “Initial Capital Contributions” as defined therein being equal to 49% and 51%, respectively, of Allocated Equity Value,
(iii) Seller shall cause Seller Mezz II to form a wholly owned subsidiary, Seller Mezz I, that is a single purpose Delaware corporation with articles of incorporation and bylaws (the “Charter and Bylaws”) filed and adopted in the form
of Exhibit “H” attached hereto (Seller Mezz I as so formed referred to as “Restructured Parent”); (iv) Seller shall cause Seller Mezz I to form a wholly owned subsidiary that is a single purpose Delaware limited
liability company, which does not elect to be taxed as a corporation, with independent directors as reasonably required for securitized financing (“Seller Mezz”); cause Seller Mezz II to contribute its membership interests in Owner to
Seller Mezz I; and cause Seller Mezz I to contribute its membership interests in Owner to Seller Mezz, (v) Seller shall provide Purchaser with a statement certifying that the formation in (iii) above has taken place, (vi) Seller shall
cause Restructured Parent to enter into an asset management agreement with the asset manager thereunder in the form of Exhibit “M” attached hereto, and (vii) Seller shall cause Owner to enter into a TRS lease agreement as
landlord with a wholly owned subsidiary limited liability company (“New Operating Lessee”) of Restructured Parent on terms substantially similar to the Operating Lease, which Operating Lease will concurrently be terminated, with rent
determined by an independent valuation service such as HVS, and Operating Lessee will concurrently therewith assign and sell all of its assets to New Operating Lessee which will assume all of Operating Lessee’s obligations (all of the
foregoing, collectively the “Restructuring”). (b) Purchaser hereby approves all of the foregoing actions and shall execute the Operating Agreement and such other documents, in forms reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, requiring its
approval as may be reasonably necessary to implement same. 
 18.02 Submission of Notice. The purchase of Membership Interests is intended to
be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an asset purchase followed by a deemed contribution by Purchaser to Seller Mezz II. At Closing, Purchaser shall submit to Seller Mezz II a notice of non-recognition form. Seller Mezz II shall submit
such notice of non-recognition form to the Director, Philadelphia Service Center, Internal Revenue Service by the 20th day after the Closing, together with a cover letter setting forth the name, identifying number, and office address of Seller Mezz
II in accordance with Notice 89-57. 
 18.03 Survival. The provisions of this Article XVIII shall survive the Closing or termination of
this Agreement.
