 (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 8.7, 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 

  

 27 








 
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. 
 (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 of the Indemnifying Party’s books and records 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. 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. 
 8.8 Limitations on Liability of Interest Owners. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
the liability of each Interest Owner with respect to its representations, warranties, covenants and indemnifications contained in this Contract shall be limited to a percentage of the total liability of the Interest Owners with respect thereto equal
to such Interest Owner’s percentage interest in the Company. 
 8.9 Tax Matters. Without the prior written consent of Buyer,
neither the Company nor any of the Interest Owners shall make or change any election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or
assessment relating to the Company, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Company, or take any other similar action
relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such election, adoption, change, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other action would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of the Company for any
period ending after the Closing Date or decreasing any Tax attribute of the Company existing on the Closing Date.

that all of the Punch List Items have been satisfactorily completed. The Interest Owners shall correct or complete all Punch List Items, or cause the same to be corrected or completed, at their expense, with all diligence and in any event within

activities must be undertaken prior to the Closing Date so that the Hotel can function in an orderly and businesslike manner at the Effective Time (“Pre-Opening Program”). The Company and the Interest Owners shall cooperate in good
faith with the Pre-Opening Program and shall provide the Franchisor and Buyer reasonable access to the Property in advance of the Closing in order to conduct their activities related to the Pre-Opening Program; provided that the Pre-Opening Program
shall not be permitted to interfere with or delay the activities of the Interest Owners or the Company in completing the Hotel. The Interest Owners shall pay in a timely manner all costs associated with the Pre-Opening Program or otherwise related
to the pre-opening operations of the Property up to but not including the Effective Time, regardless of when such costs are payable (the “Pre-Opening Costs”). The Interest Owners shall also fund all reserve accounts and other
accounts required under the Franchise Agreement, as applicable, to be funded before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Closing, the Interest Owners shall receive a credit in an amount equal to all such accounts funded by the
Interest Owners before the Closing Date, provided that (i) such accounts were required by the Franchisor or otherwise approved by Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the Interest Owners shall not receive a
credit for any account to the extent the same is intended to cover Pre-Opening Costs.

 CLOSING AND CONVEYANCE 
 10.1 Closing. Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Interest
Owners, the Closing on the Property shall occur on the date on which the Hotel opens for business to the public in accordance with the Franchise Agreement, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business
Days after Substantial Completion of the Hotel, provided that all conditions to Closing hereunder have been satisfied. Buyer will provide Interest Owners at least five (5) days prior written notice of the Closing Date selected by Buyer. The
date on which the Closing is to occur as provided in this Section 10.1, or such other date as may be agreed upon by Buyer and the Interest Owners, is referred to in this Contract as the “Closing Date” for the Property.
The Closing shall be held at 10:00 a.m. at the offices of the Title Company, or as otherwise determined by Buyer and the Interest Owners. Regardless of the Closing Date, the Closing shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the date which is the later
of (i) the Substantial Completion Date or (ii) the date on which the Hotel opens for business to the public in accordance with the Franchise Agreement (the “Effective Time”). 
 10.2 Interest Owners’ Deliveries. At Closing, the Interest Owners or the Company, as applicable, shall deliver to Buyer the following, and,
as appropriate, all instruments shall be properly executed and conveyance instruments shall be acknowledged in recordable form (the terms, provisions and conditions of all instruments not attached hereto as Exhibits shall be mutually agreed upon by
Buyer and the Interest Owners prior to such Closing). 
 (a) An assignment or assignments duly executed and acknowledged
transferring to Buyer all of the Interests, free and clear of Interest Liens, in form and substance acceptable to Buyer; 
 (b) Resignations of all officers, managers, directors and other agents of the Company;

Organizational Documents of the Company, including the articles of organization or articles of incorporation certified by the appropriate official of the state in which the Company is organized or incorporated, and a certificate issued by such
official that the Company is in valid existence and good standing as of the Closing Date; 
 (d) Certified copies of
resolutions and/or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that the person or persons executing the closing documents on behalf of the Company and the Interest Owners have full right, power and authority to do so, along with a certificate of
good standing of each Interest Owner that is an entity from the state in which Interest Owner is organized or incorporated; 
 (e) To the extent not previously delivered to and in the possession of Buyer, all Contracts, Plans and Specs, all Warranties and all keys for the Hotel (which keys shall be properly tagged for identification); 
 (f) A closing statement to evidence the parties’ agreement regarding the allocations, pro-rations and hold-backs relating to the
Property, the payment of closing costs as allocated hereunder, and any resulting adjustment of the Purchase Price; 
 (g)
Evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the termination of the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement and execution and delivery by the Manager of the New Management Agreement; 
  

 33 








 (h) All affidavits, gap indemnity agreements and other documents reasonably required by
the Title Company. At Buyer’s sole expense, Buyer shall have obtained an irrevocable commitment directly from the Title Company for issuance of an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance to the Company insuring good and marketable fee simple
absolute title (or leasehold title if so identified in Item 4 of Schedule 1) to the Real Property constituting part of the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions in the amount of the Purchase Price, together with an
nonimputation endorsement; and 
 (i) Such other instruments as are contemplated by this Contract to be executed or delivered
by the Company or any Interest Owner, or reasonably required by Buyer or the Title Company, or customarily executed in the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, to effectuate the assignment of all of the Interests to Buyer and the other
Contemplated Transactions, with the effect that, after the Closing, Buyer will have succeeded to all of the rights, titles, and interests in the Company and the Company will own good and marketable fee simple title to the Land and the Hotel in
accordance with this Contract. 
 10.3 Buyer’s Deliveries. On or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay the Interest Owners
the Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to this Contract, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Interest Owners the following agreements, documents and other items, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Interest Owners: 
 (a) a closing statement to evidence the parties’ agreement regarding the allocations, pro-rations and
hold-backs relating to the Property, the payment of closing costs as allocated hereunder, and any resulting adjustment of the Purchase Price; and 
 (b) such additional documents as might be reasonably requested by the Interest Owners to evidence Buyer’s authority to consummate the purchase of the Interests from the Interest Owners. 
 10.4 Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and the Interest Owners for certain tax
matters following the Closing Date: 
 (a) Tax Indemnification. Each of the Interest Owners shall indemnify Buyer, and
hold it harmless from and against (without duplication), any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date
and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and (ii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Company)
imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing. 
 (b) Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle
Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for
such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the 

  

 34 








 
Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that
relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the
denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. 
 (c) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. Buyer
shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer shall permit the Interest Owners to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the
preceding sentence prior to filing. 
 (d) Cooperation on Tax Matters. 
 (i) Buyer, the Company, and the Interest Owners shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in
connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records
and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The
Interest Owners agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the
extent notified by Buyer or the Company or Interest Owners, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give Buyer reasonable
written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, the Interest Owners shall allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records. 
 (ii) Buyer, the Company, and the Interest Owners further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other
document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). 
 (iii) Buyer, the Company, and the Interest Owners further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either
Party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043 and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (e)
Survival. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall survive the Closing for a period ending on the later of (i) three (3) years after the date on which the Company files its Tax Returns for the tax period ending
December 31st of the year of Closing, or (ii) the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations that may be extended. 
  

 35 








 ARTICLE XI 
 COSTS 
 All Closing costs shall be paid as set forth below: 
 11.1 Interest Owner’s Costs. Interest Owners shall be responsible for all transfer, recordation, sales, use, income, bulk transfer taxes or
like taxes in connection with the sale of the Interests hereunder and for all sales and use, hotel occupancy and other taxes of the Company or the Hotel for the period prior to Closing. Interest Owners shall be responsible for all costs related to
the termination of the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement. Interest Owners shall also be responsible for the costs and expenses of their and the Company’s attorneys, accountants, appraisers and other
professionals, consultants and representatives. Interest Owners shall also be responsible for payment of all prepayment penalties, premiums and other charges or amounts payable in connection with the pay-off of any Property Liens encumbering the
Property. Interest Owners shall be responsible for all Pre-Opening Costs as provided in Section 8.15. 
 11.2 Buyer’s
Costs. In connection with the purchase of the Interests contemplated under this Contract, Buyer shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of its attorneys, accountants and other professionals, consultants and representatives. Buyer shall
also be responsible for the costs and expenses in connection with the preparation of any environmental report, any update to the survey and the costs and expenses of preparation of the title insurance commitment and the issuance of the title
insurance policy contemplated by Article IV. Buyer shall be responsible for costs related to the execution of the New Franchise Agreement. Buyer shall also be responsible for the costs incurred after the Effective Time as provided in
Section 12.1. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 ADJUSTMENTS 
 12.1 Adjustments. Unless
otherwise provided herein, at Closing, adjustments between the parties of income and expenses related to the Property shall be made as of the Effective Time, with the income and expenses accrued prior to the Effective Time being allocated to the
Interest Owners and the income and expenses accruing on and after the Effective Time being allocated to Buyer, as if the Contemplated Transactions were a transfer of the Hotel rather than a transfer of the Interests, all as set forth below. Subject
to the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all apportionments and adjustments shall be made on an accrual basis in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (9th Revised Edition) published by the American Hotel & Lodging Association. 
 (a) Taxes. All real estate taxes, personal property taxes, or any other taxes and special assessments (special or otherwise) of any nature upon the Property levied, assessed or pending for the calendar year in
which the Closing occurs (including the period prior to Closing, regardless of when due and payable) shall be prorated as of the Effective Time and, if no tax bills or assessment statements for such calendar year are available, such amounts shall be
estimated on the basis of the best available information for such taxes and assessments that will be due and payable on the Hotel for the calendar year in which Closing occurs. 
  

 36 








 (b) Utilities. All suppliers of utilities shall be instructed to read meters or
otherwise determine the charges owing as of the Effective Time for services prior thereto, which charges shall be allocated to the Interest Owners. Charges accruing after the Effective Time shall be allocated to Buyer. 
 (c) Accounts. The Interest Owners shall be entitled to retain the Hotel’s working capital account, if any, and to withdraw all
funds contained therein as of the Effective Time. The Interest Owners shall receive a credit in the amount of the aggregate balance as of the Effective Time in the FF&E reserve account and similar accounts, if any, and utility deposits, petty
cash and cash in registers, all of which shall remain with the Company after the Closing. All other accounts, reserves and escrows, if any, held by the Company or any other Person on the Company’s behalf shall remain the property of the Company
and be credited to Buyer, without additional charge to Buyer and without Buyer being required to fund the same. 
 (d)
Advance Deposits. All income generated by the Hotel, including receipts from guest room or suite rentals, all prepaid rentals, room rental deposits, and all other deposits for advance registration, banquets or services, whether attributable
to the period before the Effective Time or to the period after the Effective Time, shall be credited to Buyer. 
 (e)
Accounts Payable. Any indebtedness, accounts payable, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature related to the Company or the Property for the periods prior to the Effective Time shall be allocated to the Interest Owners, and Buyer
shall not be or become liable therefor, except as expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Contract, and invoices received in the ordinary course of business prior to Closing shall be allocated to the Interest Owners at Closing. 
 (f) Other Costs. All other costs attributable to the period before the Effective Time, including the cost of property and liability
insurance and all Pre-Opening Costs, shall be allocated to the Interest Owners, and all costs attributable to the period after the Effective Time shall be allocated to Buyer. 
 12.2 Reconciliation and Final Payment. The Interest Owners and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate after Closing to make a final determination of the
allocations and prorations required under this Contract within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. Upon the final reconciliation of the allocations and prorations under this Section, the party which owes the other party any sums hereunder
shall pay such party such sums within ten (10) days after the reconciliation of such sums. The obligations to calculate such prorations, make such reconciliations and pay any such sums shall survive the Closing. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 CASUALTY AND
CONDEMNATION 
 13.1 Risk of Loss; Notice. Prior to Closing and the sale of the Interests to Buyer in accordance with this
Contract, all risk of loss to the Property (whether by casualty, condemnation or otherwise) shall be borne by the Interest Owners. In the event that (a) any loss or damage to the Hotel shall occur prior to the Closing Date as a result of fire
or other casualty, or (b) the Company receives notice that a governmental authority has initiated or threatened to initiate a 

  

 37 








 
condemnation proceeding affecting the Hotel, the Interest Owners 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). 
 13.2 Buyer’s Termination Right. If, prior to Closing and the sale of the Interests to Buyer in accordance with this Contract, (a) any
condemnation proceeding shall be pending against a substantial portion of the Hotel or (b) there is any substantial casualty loss or damage to the Hotel, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Contract, provided Buyer delivers written
notice to the Company of its election within twenty (20) days after the date the Interest Owners have delivered to Buyer written notice of any such loss, damage or condemnation as provided above, and in such event, the Earnest Money Deposit,
and any interest thereon, shall be delivered to Buyer and thereafter, except as expressly set forth herein, no party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other under this Contract. In the context of condemnation,
“substantial” shall mean condemnation of such portion of the Hotel (or access thereto) as could, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, render use of the remainder impractical or unfeasible for the uses herein contemplated, and, in the
context of casualty loss or damage, “substantial” shall mean a loss or damage in excess of Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) in value. 
 13.3 Procedure for Closing. If Buyer shall not timely elect to terminate this Contract under Section 13.2 above, or if the loss, damage or condemnation is not substantial, all insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards which the Company has received as a result of the same, plus an amount equal to the insurance deductible shall be paid or credited to Buyer, and all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable as a result of the same shall
be paid or credited to Buyer, in which event the Closing shall occur without replacing or repairing such damage. In the case of damage or casualty, at Buyer’s election, the Property shall be repaired and restored to its condition immediately
prior to such damage or casualty, and all excess insurance proceeds shall be credited to Buyer. 
 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 the Company (provided no notice shall extend the time for Closing), then at the election of a majority of
the Interest Owners by written notice to Buyer, (i) 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 Interest Owners as the sole
and exclusive remedy of the Interest Owners and the Company hereunder, as liquidated damages for Buyer’s default or failure to close, and both Buyer and the Interest Owners shall thereupon be released from all obligations hereunder or
(ii) compel specific performance without prejudice to any other remedy it may have a law or in equity. 
 14.2 Interest Owner/Company
Default. If any Interest Owner or (before the Closing) the Company defaults under this Contract, and such default continues for ten (10) 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 the Company delivered at any time prior to the 

  

 38 








 
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 the Interest Owners 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
the Company delivered at any time prior to the completion of such cure, in which event the Buyer shall have the right to an action against the Interest Owners and/or the Company for damages, specific performance and all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity. 
 14.3 Attorney’s Fees. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, if it shall be necessary
for either the Buyer or the Interest Owners 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. 
 ARTICLE XV
