 (iii) 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 8.13,
which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the 

  

 -20- 








 
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. 
 (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. 
  


 -21- 








 (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. 
 8.14 Escrow Funds. To provide for the timely
payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, the Seller shall deposit an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Escrow Funds”) shall be 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 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 one-year period, the Escrow Funds deposited by the Seller shall be released to the Seller. 
 8.15 Liquor License. If required by the Franchisor, 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 to be located within the Hotel (collectively, the “Liquor Licenses”) and, in the case of an Affiliate of the Manager, the Hotel
shall have the right to use such Liquor License, (ii) if permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located, to the extent practicable the Manager shall 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.

and restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such damage or casualty and shall assign to Buyer all excess insurance proceeds.
