 ARTICLE IV 
 SURVEY AND TITLE APPROVAL 
 4.1 Survey. Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct and
complete copies of the most recent surveys of the Real Property. In the event that an update of a survey or a new survey (such updated or new surveys being referred to as the “Surveys”) are desired by Buyer, then Buyer shall
be responsible for all costs related thereto; provided, however, Seller shall provide, at its sole cost and expense, an as-built survey when the Hotel is substantially complete. 
 4.2 Title. Seller has delivered to Buyer Seller’s existing title insurance policy, including copies of all documents referred to therein, for
the Real Property. Buyer’s obligations under this Contract are conditioned upon Buyer being able to obtain for each Property (i) a Commitment for Title Insurance (each, a “Title Commitment”) issued by LandAmerica
American Title Company, Attn: Debby Moore, 2505 N. Plano Road, Ste. 3100, Richardson, Texas 75082 (the “Title Company”), for the most recent standard form of owner’s policy of title insurance in the state in which the
Real Property is located, covering the Real Property, setting forth the current status of the title to the Real Property, showing all liens, claims, encumbrances, easements, rights of way, encroachments, reservations, restrictions and any other
matters affecting the Real Property and pursuant to which the Title Company agrees to issue to Buyer at Closing an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance on the most recent form of ALTA (where available) owner’s policy available in the state in
which the Land is located, with extended coverage and, to the extent applicable and available in such state, comprehensive, access, single tax parcel, contiguity, Fairway and such other endorsements as may be required by Buyer (collectively, the
“Title Policy”); and (ii) true, complete, legible and, where applicable, recorded copies of all documents and instruments (the “Exception Documents”) referred to or identified in the Title
Commitment, including, but not limited to, all deeds, lien instruments, leases, plats, surveys, reservations, restrictions, and easements affecting the Real Property. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of the
Title Commitment issued by the Title Company. 
 4.3 Survey or Title Objections. If Buyer discovers any title or survey matter which
is objectionable to Buyer, Buyer may provide Seller with written notice of its objection to same prior to the expiration of the Review Period (the “Title Review Period”). If Buyer fails to so object in writing to any such
matter set forth in the Survey or Title Commitment, it shall be conclusively assumed that Buyer has approved same, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1. 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 (the “Cure Notice”) within two (2) days
after Seller’s 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, 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 (which notice of termination must be given within two (2) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Cure Notice). If a new title defect arises after the date of Buyer’s Title Commitment
or Survey, as applicable, but prior to Closing, then Buyer 

  

 11 








 
shall be entitled to object to such matters within ten (10) days after the date on which Buyer is notified that such new title defect has arisen and the
parties’ rights and obligations with respect to such new title matters shall be governed by the mechanic’s and provisions (including time limits) set forth in this Section 4.3. 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 and customarily omitted in the state in which the Hotel is located,
so long as Seller provides the appropriate owner’s affidavit, gap indemnity or other documentation reasonably required by the Title Company for such omission) and all Leases and FF&E Leases showing on the Title Commitment are hereinafter
referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions.” “Permitted Exceptions” shall also include any easement or other matter imposed of record by Seller which is necessary for the development of the Land or the construction of
the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. In no event shall Permitted Exceptions include liens, or documents evidencing liens, securing any indebtedness or any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or any claims or
potential claims therefor covering the Property or any portion thereof (“Seller Liens”), each of which shall be paid in full by Seller and released at Closing. 
 ARTICLE V 
 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND FRANCHISE AGREEMENT 
 At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall terminate the Existing Management Agreement and the Existing Franchise Agreement (if any), and Seller shall be
solely responsible for all claims and liabilities arising thereunder on, prior to or following the Closing Date. As a condition to Closing, Buyer shall enter into the Franchise Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date, containing terms and

following written notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party, the non-breaching party shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies at law and/or in equity available to the non-breaching party; provided, however

 THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made the
     day of             , 2007 by and among
                                        ,

 RECITALS 

 WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5 of that certain Purchase Contract dated
                    , 2004 (the “Contract”) between Seller and Buyer (the “Parties”), the Parties have requested Escrow
Agent to hold in escrow in accordance with the provisions, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, the Earnest Money Deposit as defined in the Contract (the “Deposit”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Deposit shall be delivered to Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Contract and this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Seller and Buyer hereby appoint Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent hereunder, and the Escrow Agent agrees to act as escrow agent hereunder in
accordance with the provisions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Deposit. Escrow Agent shall invest the Deposit as directed by Buyer. 
 2. Subject to the rights and obligations to transfer, deliver or otherwise dispose of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall keep the Deposit in Escrow
Agent’s possession pursuant to this Agreement. 
 3. A. Buyer shall be entitled to an immediate return of the Deposit at any time prior
to the expiration of the Review Period (as defined in Section 3.1 of the Contract) by providing written notice to Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has elected to terminate the Contract pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 B. If at any time after the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer claims entitlement to all or any portion of the Deposit, Buyer shall give written
notice to Escrow Agent stating that Seller has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under the Contract beyond the applicable grace period, if any, or that Buyer is otherwise entitled to the return of the Deposit or applicable portion
thereof and shall direct Escrow Agent to return the Deposit or applicable portion thereof to Buyer (the “Buyer’s Notice”). Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver 








 
a copy of Buyer’s Notice to Seller. Seller shall have three (3) business days after receipt of the copy of Buyer’s Notice to deliver written
notice to Escrow Agent and Buyer objecting to the release of the Deposit or applicable portion thereof to Buyer (“Seller’s Objection Notice”). If Escrow Agent does not receive a timely Seller’s Objection Notice, Escrow Agent
shall release the Deposit or applicable portion thereof to Buyer. If Escrow Agent does receive a timely Seller’s Objection Notice, Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit or applicable portion thereof only upon receipt of, and in accordance
with, written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer, or the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 C. If, at any time after
the expiration of the Review Period, Seller claims entitlement to the Deposit or applicable portion thereof, Seller shall give written notice to Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under the Contract,
and shall direct Escrow Agent to release the Deposit or applicable portion thereof to Seller (the “Seller’s Notice”). Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of Seller’s Notice to Buyer. Buyer shall have three
(3) business days after receipt of the copy of Seller’s Notice to deliver written notice to Escrow Agent and Seller objecting to the release of the Deposit or applicable portion thereof to Seller (“Buyer’s Objection
Notice”). If Escrow Agent does not receive a timely Buyer’s Objection Notice, Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit or applicable portion thereof to Seller. If Escrow Agent does receive a timely Seller’s Objection Notice, Escrow
Agent shall release the Deposit or applicable portion thereof only upon receipt of, and in accordance with, written instructions signed by Buyer and Seller, or the final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 4. In the performance of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature purporting to be genuine
and purporting to be signed by and of the Parties or their successors unless Escrow Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice or instructions in accordance with the provisions
hereof has been duly authorized to do so. 
 5. A. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken or omitted
to be taken hereunder, except in the case of Escrow Agent’s willful, bad faith misconduct or negligence, nor shall Escrow Agent be liable for the conduct or misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney thereof. Escrow Agent shall be entitled
to consult with counsel of its choosing and shall not be liable for any action suffered or omitted in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 
 B. In addition to the indemnities provided below, Escrow Agent shall not be liable for, and each of the Parties jointly and severally hereby indemnify and agree to save harmless and reimburse Escrow Agent from and against all loss, cost,
liability, damage and expense, including outside counsel fees in connection with its acceptance of, or the performance of its duties and obligations under, this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim arising
hereunder unless the same are caused by the willful, bad faith misconduct or negligence of Escrow Agent. 
 C. Escrow Agent shall not be
bound or in any way affected by any notice of any modification or cancellation of this Agreement, or of any fact or circumstance 

  

 2 








 
affecting or alleged to affect rights or liabilities hereunder other than as is herein set forth, or affecting or alleged to affect the rights and
liabilities of any other person, unless notice of the same is delivered to Escrow Agent in writing, signed by the proper parties to Escrow Agent’s satisfaction and, in the case of modification, unless such modification shall be approved by
Escrow Agent in writing. 
 6. A. Escrow Agent and any successor escrow agent, as the case may be, may resign his or its duties and be
discharged from all obligations hereunder at any time upon giving five (5) days’ prior written notice to each of the Parties hereto. The Parties hereto will thereupon jointly designate a successor escrow agent hereunder within said five
(5) day period to whom the Deposit shall be delivered. In default of such a joint designation of a successor escrow agent, Escrow Agent shall retain the Deposit as custodian thereof until otherwise directed by the Parties hereto, jointly, or
until the Deposit is released in accordance with clause (B) below, in each case, without liability or responsibility. 
 B. Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Escrow Agent, on notice to the Parties hereto, may take such other steps as the Escrow Agent may elect in order to terminate its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder, including, but not limited
to, the deposit of the Deposit with a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the commencement of an action of interpleaders, and (ii) in the event of litigation between any of the Parties with respect to the
Deposit, Escrow Agent may deposit the Deposit with the court in which said litigation is pending and, in any such event, Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged from any liability or responsibility to the Parties hereto. 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.
