 (c) Contributor acknowledges that (i) the Units to be issued to Contributor have not
been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption or exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (ii) the Partnership’s reliance on such

 Each of the
representations and warranties contained in this Article III and its various subparagraphs are intended for the benefit of the Partnership and may be waived in whole or in part, by the Partnership, but only by an instrument in writing signed
by the Partnership. All rights and remedies arising in connection with the untruth or inaccuracy of any such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby, except to the extent that Contributor gives

will be substantially consistent with the information provided to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. Upon written request from Partnership, Contributor shall provide to Partnership such additional information related to tax matters of

(i) through (iii), a “Lock-Up Period”). After the expiration of the applicable Lock-Up Period, the applicable Units may be redeemed by the holder thereof, as further provided in the Partnership Agreement, for cash (based on the
then-current market price of the Company’s Common Stock) or, at the Partnership’s general partner’s option (at the direction of the Company), into Company Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company will agree under a
Registration Rights Agreement to register with the Commission and maintain the effectiveness of any such registration statement for any Common Stock issued in exchange for Units. The Registration Rights Agreement will be similar to the
Company’s previously executed registration rights agreements. In furtherance of this provision, at or prior to Closing, Contributor shall execute and deliver to the Partnership a Lock-Up Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit M.

 Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway

 Agreement of Purchase and Sale

Costs”), up to one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Existing Lien outstanding at Closing, and Contributor agrees to pay any Existing Lien Costs in excess of such one
percent (1%). All endorsements to the Title Policy shall be paid by the Partnership. All other costs (except any costs incurred by Contributor for its own account) which are necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be
allocated between the Partnership and Contributor in accordance with local custom in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. 
 7.6 Revenue and Expense Allocations. All revenues and expenses with respect to the Property, and applicable to the period of time before and after Closing, determined in accordance with sound
accounting principles consistently applied, shall be allocated between Contributor and the Partnership as provided herein. Contributor shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time up to and
including the date of Closing, and the Partnership shall be entitled to all revenue and shall be responsible for all expenses for the period of time after the date of Closing (provided that housekeeping costs and the Rooms Ledger for the date of
Closing shall be shared equally between the Partnership and Contributor). Such adjustments shall be shown on the closing statements (with such supporting documentation as the parties hereto may require being attached as exhibits to the closing
statements) and shall increase or decrease (as the case may be) the Units to be issued pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. All amounts payable under the Marriott Lease shall be settled between Marriott and Contributor. Purchaser shall
receive a credit to the Contribution Value in an amount equal to the difference between (i) all amounts distributed and to be distributed to Contributor under the Marriott Lease during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, and
(ii) the sum of (x) the debt service actually paid by Contributor under the Existing Lien during such partial fiscal year through the Closing Date, and (y) one-half (1/2) of the Net House Profit (as defined in the Marriott Lease)
for such partial fiscal year through the Closing Date after deduction of an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues (as defined in the Marriott Lease) for such partial fiscal year through the Closing Date and the amount set forth in
clause (x) of this sentence. The following is an example of the calculation of the foregoing credit based on the assumptions contained in items A-E: 
 A. The amount distributed and to be distributed to Contributor under the Marriott Lease through Closing: $6,651,020 
 B. Debt service under Existing Lien through Closing: $2,559,788 
 C. Gross
Revenues through Closing: $26,051,565 
 D. FF&E Reserve through Closing based on 5% of gross revenues: $1,302,578

 E. House Profit through Closing: $9,058,411 
 The amount of the proration to the Partnership would equal $1,439,210 calculated as follows: $6,651,020 — ($2,559,788 + (0.5)x(9,058,411 — 2,559,788 — 1,302,578.25)). 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following items of revenue and expense shall be allocated at Closing: 

(a) Current rents. 
 (b) Real estate and personal property taxes. 
  
 Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and
Sale 

  
 35 









 (c) Revenue and expenses under the Operating Agreements, Off-Site Facility Agreements and,
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions to be assigned to and assumed by the Partnership. 
 (d) Municipal or other governmental
improvement liens, which shall be paid by Contributor at Closing where the work has physically commenced, and which shall be assumed by the Partnership at Closing where the work has been authorized, but not physically commenced. 

(e) Insurance premiums for Insurance Policies maintained by Contributor, to the extent required hereby. 

(f) License and permit fees, where transferable. 
 (g) Interest for the then current interest period under the Existing Lien. 
 All
cash reserves, if any, held pursuant to the terms of the Marriott Lease shall continue to be held by Marriott under the terms of the Management Agreement, and Contributor shall not receive a credit to the Contribution Value for such reserves at
Closing. All cash reserves and escrowed funds held by Lender under the Existing Lien shall continue to be held by Lender under the terms of the Existing Lien, and Contributor shall receive a credit to the Contribution Value for such amounts at
Closing. 
 Contributor shall pay or cause to be paid all real estate taxes and special assessments for the Property due and
payable in, or deferred with respect to the years prior to, the year in which the Closing occurs. All special assessments pending, levied or due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Contributor on or before the Closing Date.
All subdivision and platting costs and expenses heretofore incurred by Contributor, including, without limitation, all subdivision exactions, fees and costs and all dedication of land for parks and other public uses or payment of fees in lieu
thereof, shall be paid by Contributor on or prior to the Closing Date. The Partnership acknowledges that Marriott has initiated a pending tax assessment appeal with respect to the Property for the calendar year 2006 and the Partnership hereby
confirms that Marriott shall be entitled to continue to prosecute such appeals and that any refunds of taxes attributable to any period prior to Closing shall belong to Contributor. 

Contributor shall be required to pay or cause to be paid on or before the Closing Date any accrued or earned wages, vacation pay, sick
leave, bonuses, pension, profit-sharing and welfare benefits and other compensation and fringe benefits of all persons employed by Contributor at the Property on or before the Closing Date, including any employment taxes or other fees or assessments
attributable thereto. 
 The Partnership shall not be obligated to collect any delinquent rents, accounts receivable or revenues
accrued prior to the Closing Date for Contributor, but if the Partnership collects same, such amounts shall be promptly remitted to Contributor in the form received.

 If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not obtainable
(as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or personal property taxes, and/or amounts payable under the Marriott Lease), the parties shall allocate such revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject
to adjustment upon receipt of the final bill or other evidence of the applicable revenue or expense. Such adjustment shall be completed within 90 days after Closing. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the closing of the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement. Any revenue received or expense incurred by Contributor or the Partnership with respect to the Property after the date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and the parties shall
promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. The proration provisions of this Agreement shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby for a period of twelve (12) months. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 8.1 Condemnation. In the event of any
actual or threatened taking, pursuant to the power of eminent domain, of all or any portion of the Real Property, or any proposed sale in lieu thereof, Contributor shall give written notice thereof to the Partnership promptly after Contributor
learns or receives notice thereof. If all or any part of the Real Property is, or is to be, so condemned or sold, the Partnership shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof. If the Partnership elects
not to terminate this Agreement, all proceeds, awards and other payments arising out of such condemnation or sale (actual or threatened) shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to the Partnership at Closing. Contributor shall not settle or
compromise any such proceeding without the Partnership’s written consent. If the Partnership elects to terminate this Agreement by giving Contributor written notice thereof prior to the Closing, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to the

Contributor. If any such loss or damage occurs prior to Closing, the Partnership shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof. If the Partnership elects not to terminate this Agreement, all insurance
proceeds and rights to proceeds arising out of such loss or damage shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to the Partnership at Closing and the Partnership shall receive as a credit against the Contribution Value the amount of any deductibles
under the policies of insurance covering such loss or damage. If the Partnership elects to terminate this Agreement by giving Contributor written notice thereof prior to the Closing, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to the Partnership and all
rights and obligations of Contributor and the Partnership hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately. 

8.3 Broker. The parties acknowledge that Broker has been the procuring cause of this Agreement. It shall be the obligation of the
Partnership to pay Broker its commission of $670,000.00, when, as and if the transaction contemplated hereby actually closes, in accordance with a separate agreement with the Broker. There is no other real estate broker involved in this transaction.

Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and Sale 

  
 37 









 
Partnership shall indemnify Contributor and hold Contributor harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim
of any other person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with the Partnership, or as a result of having introduced the Partnership to Contributor or to the Property. In like
manner, Contributor warrants and represents to the Partnership that Contributor has not dealt with any other real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Contributor been introduced to the Partnership by any other real estate
broker, and Contributor shall indemnify the Partnership and save and hold the Partnership harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or
corporation to a real estate brokerage commission or a finder’s fee as a result of having dealt with Contributor in connection with this transaction. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement and a closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby. 
 8.4 Bulk Sale. It shall be the obligation of Contributor to comply with any bulk sale
requirements, statutes, laws, ordinances and regulations promulgated with respect thereto, if any, in the State in which the Property is located, or in or by any governmental entity having jurisdiction with respect thereto, and to provide proof of
such compliance or proof that no such compliance is required, to the Partnership, at or prior to Closing. In any event, Contributor shall indemnify the Partnership and save and hold the Partnership harmless from and against any claims, suits,
demands, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, including all costs of defending same, and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in connection therewith, arising out of or relating to any claim made by any third
party or any liability asserted by any third party that any applicable bulk sales law or like statute has not been complied with. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. 

8.5 Confidentiality. Except as hereinafter provided, from and after the execution of this Agreement, the Partnership and
Contributor shall keep the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement confidential and neither shall make any public announcements hereof unless the other first approves of same in writing, nor shall either disclose the terms, conditions and
provisions hereof, except to persons who “need to know,” such as their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, engineers, surveyors, consultants, financiers, partners, investors, potential lessees and bankers and
such other third parties whose assistance is required in connection with the consummation of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that the Partnership is, or is an affiliate of, a real estate investment trust (the
“REIT”), and the REIT has and will seek to sell shares to the general public; consequently, the Partnership shall have the absolute and unbridled right to disclose any information regarding the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement required by law or as determined to be necessary or appropriate by the Partnership or the Partnership’s attorneys to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of the Partnership or its affiliates. On or at any time following the
Effective Date, the Partnership may make a press release and file with the United States Securities Exchange Commission information regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Contributor and the Partnership and their representatives
are cautioned that United States securities laws restrict the purchase and sale of securities by anyone who possesses non-public information about the issue of such securities. Accordingly, neither Contributor or any of its Affiliates nor its
representatives may buy or sell any of the securities of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates so long as any of them is in possession of any material non-public information about the Partnership or any of its Affiliates, including information
contained in or derived from confidential information.

 8.6 Contributor’s Accounts Receivable. It is expressly agreed by and between the
Partnership and Contributor that Contributor is not hereby agreeing to sell to the Partnership, and the Partnership is not hereby agreeing to purchase from Contributor, any of Contributor’s accounts receivable. All of Contributor’s
accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Contributor, subsequent to the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. At the Closing, Contributor shall prepare a list of its outstanding accounts receivable as of midnight on the date
prior to the Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Contributor. The Partnership shall hold any funds received by the Partnership explicitly designated as payment of such accounts receivable, in trust, if the Partnership
actually collects any such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Contributor at the end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount collected on each such account. Other than the foregoing, the
Partnership shall have no obligation with respect to any such account, and the Partnership shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or action to effect collection on behalf of Contributor. It is generally the intention of the Partnership
and Contributor that although all of Contributor’s accounts receivable shall be and remain the property of Contributor, still, if any such accounts are paid to the Partnership, then the Partnership shall collect same and remit to Contributor in
the manner above provided. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring the Partnership to remit to Contributor any funds collected by the Partnership on account of the Partnership’s accounts receivable generated from Hotel
operations, even if the person or entity paying same is also indebted to Contributor. Contributor agrees that it shall not bring any legal action to enforce collection of payment of any accounts receivable against any current tenant of the Property
or other third party in a contractual or business relationship with the Property as of the Closing Date.

 9.2 Indemnification by Contributor. Contributor hereby indemnifies and holds the
Partnership harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by the Partnership, whether before or after Closing,
as a result of any inaccuracy or breach by Contributor of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein or in any other document delivered by Contributor pursuant hereto except for any breach or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty as to which Contributor has given the Partnership written notice prior to Closing of the untruth or inaccuracy or of which the Partnership otherwise had actual knowledge prior to the Closing and nevertheless elected to
consummate the Closing; provided, however, the foregoing knowledge limitation on Contributor’s indemnity shall not limit the Partnership’s remedy described in Section 9.3(a)(ii) hereof. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby for a period of twelve (12) months period following the Closing Date. 
 9.3 Default by Contributor/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of the Partnership cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, or upon the
occurrence of any other event that would entitle the Partnership to terminate this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, and if Contributor fails to cure any such matter or satisfy that condition within ten (10) business days after notice
thereof from the Partnership (or such other time period as may be explicitly provided for herein), the Partnership, at its option, may elect (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit shall be promptly returned to the
Partnership, (ii) if the condition which has not been satisfied is a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, then Contributor shall be obligated upon demand to reimburse the Partnership (in a total amount not to exceed $100,000.00)
for the Partnership’s actual out-of-pocket inspection, financing and other costs related to the Partnership’s entering into this Agreement, inspecting the Property and preparing for a Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby,
including, without limitation, the Partnership’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and in connection with the Partnership’s due diligence review, audits and
preparation for a Closing (it being expressly recognized and acknowledged that in no event shall the Contributor have any liability hereunder in the event the condition that is not satisfied is due to Marriott’s failure to take any required
action of it hereunder or the failure of the Lender to consent to the transactions contempolated hereby), and (iii) all other rights and obligations of Contributor and the Partnership hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly
survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; or (b) elect to proceed to Closing. If the Partnership elects to proceed to Closing and there is either a misrepresentation or breach of a warranty by Contributor (other than
a breach of a representation or warranty of which the Partnership had actual knowledge prior to the Closing and nevertheless elected to consummate the Closing) or the breach of a covenant by Contributor or a failure by Contributor to perform its
obligations hereunder, the Partnership shall retain all remedies accruing as a result thereof, including, but not limited to the remedy of specific performance of Contributor’s covenants and obligations and the remedy of the recovery of all
reasonable damages resulting from Contributor’s breach of warranty or covenant. 
 9.4 Default by the
Partnership/Failure of Conditions Precedent. If any condition set forth herein for the benefit of Contributor (other than a default by the Partnership) cannot or will not be satisfied prior to Closing, and if the Partnership fails to satisfy
that condition within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from Contributor (or such other time period as may be 
  

Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and Sale 

  
 40 









 
explicitly provided for herein), Contributor may, at its option, elect either (a) to terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to the Partnership and the
parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement, or (b) to waive its right to terminate, and instead, to proceed to Closing. If, prior to Closing, the
Partnership defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement (including its obligation to purchase the Property), and the Partnership fails to cure any such default within ten (10) business days after notice thereof from
Contributor, then Contributor’s sole remedy for such default shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit. Contributor and the Partnership agree that, in the event of such a default, the damages that Contributor would sustain as
a result thereof would be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. Therefore, Contributor and the Partnership agree that, Contributor shall retain the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages and as Contributor’s sole remedy.

 9.5 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in
any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. 
 9.6 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of fraud by either party, the liability of each party hereto resulting from the breach or default by
either party shall be limited to actual damages incurred by the injured party and except in the case of fraud by either party, the parties hereto hereby waive their rights to recover from the other party consequential, punitive, exemplary, and
speculative damages. The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the Closing of the transaction contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of the Contributor under
this Agreement with respect to Section 9.2 and 9.3 herein above shall be limited to the Pledged Units and neither Contributor nor any partner of Contributor shall have any personal liability hereunder with respect to such Sections 9.2
and 9.3.

 ARTICLE II 
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 Section 2.1 Shelf Registration.
Commencing on or after the date which is fifty weeks after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file a “shelf” registration statement with respect to the issuance and the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exchange of Exchangeable OP Units issued to the Unit Holder in the Transaction and the resale of any other Registrable Securities on an appropriate form for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) and shall use its best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective on or as soon as practicable thereafter, and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective for a period ending when all shares of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities. In the event that the Company fails to file, or if filed fails to maintain the effectiveness
of, a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders of Registrable Securities may make a written request for a Demand Registration (as defined below) pursuant to Section 2.2 herein or participate in a Piggy Back Registration (as defined
below) pursuant to Section 2.3 herein; provided, further, that if and so long as a Shelf Registration Statement is on file and effective, then the Company shall have no obligation to effect a Demand Registration or allow participation in
a Piggy Back Registration. 
 Section 2.2 Demand Registration.  

(a) Request for Registration. Subject to Section 2.1 hereof, commencing on or after the date which is one year after
the Closing Date, Holders of Registrable Securities may make a written request for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of its or their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”); provided, that the Company
shall not be obligated to effect more than one Demand Registration in any twelve month period and not more than two such Demand Registrations in total; and provided, further, that the Holders making such written request number shall propose the sale
of at least 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (such number to be adjusted successively in the event the Company effects any stock split, stock consideration or recapitalization after the date hereof) or such lesser number of Shares if such
lesser number is all of the Registrable Shares owned by the Holders. Any such request will specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and will also specify the intended method of disposition thereof. Within ten
(10) days after receipt of such request, the Company will give written notice of such registration request to all other Holders of the Registrable Securities and include in such registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which
the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt by the applicable Holder of the Company’s notice. Each such request will also specify the number of shares of Registrable
Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof. 
 (b) Effective Registration. A registration
will not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective and has remained effective and available for at least 180 days. 
 (c) Selling Holders Become Party to Agreement. Each Holder acknowledges that by asserting or participating in its registration rights pursuant to this Article II, he or she may become a
Selling Holder and thereby will be deemed a party to this Agreement and will be bound by each of its terms.

 (d) Priority on Demand Registrations. If the Holders of a majority of shares of the
Registrable Securities to be registered in a Demand Registration so elect by written notice to the Company, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. The
Company shall select the book-running managing Underwriter in connection with any such Demand Registration; provided that such managing Underwriter must be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the shares of the Registrable
Securities. The Company may select any additional investment banks and managers to be used in connection with the offering; provided that such additional investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Holders
making such Demand Registration. To the extent 10% or more of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered are excluded from the offering in accordance with Section 2.4, the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have
the right to one additional Demand Registration under this Section in such twelve-month period with respect to such Registrable Securities. 
 Section 2.3 Piggy-Back Registration. Subject to Section 2.1 hereof, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an
underwritten equity offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective securityholders of any class of security other than (i) any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act
relating to an offering of Common Stock for its own account as a result of the exercise of the exchange rights set forth in Section 7.4 of the Partnership Agreement, (ii) any registration statement filed in connection with a demand
registration other than a Demand Registration under this Agreement or (iii) a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission) filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of
securities solely to the Company’s existing securityholders, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) days before
the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and
conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. 
 Section 2.4 Reduction of Offering.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of an offering described in Section 2.2 or 2.3 deliver a written opinion to the Company and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in
such offering that (i) the size of the offering that the Holders, the Company and such other persons intend to make or (ii) the kind of securities that the Holders, the Company and/or any other Persons intend to include in such offering
are such that the success of the offering would be materially and adversely affected by inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included, then 
  

Exhibit H 
 Ashford Hospitality Limited
Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and Sale 

  
 5 








 (A) if the size of the offering is the basis of such Underwriter’s
opinion, the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be reduced pro rata (according to the number of Registrable Securities proposed for registration) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to
be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing Underwriter or Underwriters; provided that, in the case of a Piggy-Back Registration, if securities are being offered for the account of other Persons as well as the Company,
then with respect to the Registrable Securities intended to be offered by Holders, the proportion by which the amount of such class of securities intended to be offered by Holders is reduced shall not exceed the proportion by which the amount of
such class of securities intended to be offered by such other Persons is reduced; and 
 (B) if the combination
of securities to be offered is the basis of such Underwriter’s opinion, (x) the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be reduced as described in clause (A) above (subject to the proviso in clause (A)) or
(y) if the actions described in clause (x) would, in the judgment of the managing Underwriter, be insufficient to substantially eliminate the adverse effect that inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included would have
on such offering, such Registrable Securities will be excluded from such offering. 
 Section 2.5 Registration
Procedures; Filings; Information. In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2.1 or whenever Holders request that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the
Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable, and in connection with any such request: 

(a) The Company will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 if registered
pursuant to Section 2.1 and if registered pursuant to any other section of this Agreement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the
sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of not
less than 270 days; provided that if the Company shall furnish to the Holders making a request pursuant to Section 2.2 a certificate signed by either its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President stating that in his or her good
faith judgment it would be significantly disadvantageous to the Company or its shareholders for such a registration statement to be filed as expeditiously as possible, the Company shall have a period of not more than 180 days within which to file
such registration statement measured from the date of receipt of the request in accordance with Section 2.2. 
 (b)
The Company will, if requested, prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Selling Holder and each Underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter furnish to such Selling Holder and Underwriter, if any, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement, each

Sale

amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including
each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such Selling Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder. 

(c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered. 

(d) The Company will use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue
sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption does not apply) as any Selling Holder or managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, reasonably (in light of such Selling Holder’s intended plan of distribution) requests
and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things
that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

 (e) The Company will immediately notify each Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable
Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading and promptly make available to each Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment. 
 (f) The Company
will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement, if any, in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

(g) The Company will make available for inspection by any Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, any Underwriter participating in
any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Selling Holder or Underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such registration statement. Records which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are

  
 Exhibit H

confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement or
(ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections
shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities
further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the
Records deemed confidential. 
 (h) The Company will furnish to each Selling Holder and to each Underwriter, if any, a signed
counterpart, addressed to such Selling Holder or Underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) if eligible under SAS 100, a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public
accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering or the managing
Underwriter or Underwriters therefor reasonably requests. 
 (i) The Company will otherwise comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement,
which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission). 

(j) The Company will use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed. 
 The Company may require each Selling Holder of Registrable
Securities to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Selling Holder, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time
reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. 
 Each Selling
Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.5(e) hereof, such Selling Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.5(e) hereof, and, if so directed by the
Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such
notice. Each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will immediately notify the Company at any time when a 
  

Exhibit H

Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and Sale

prospectus relating to the registration of such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of an event as a result of which information
previously furnished by such Selling Holder to the Company in writing expressly for inclusion in such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made. In the event the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective
(including the period referred to in Section 2.5(a) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to Section 2.5(e) hereof to the date when the Company shall make
available to the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement a prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 2.5(e) hereof. 

Section 2.6 Registration Expenses. In connection with any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, the
Company shall pay the following registration expenses incurred in connection with the registration hereunder (the “Registration Expenses”): (i) all registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with
securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) printing expenses, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation,
all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities, (vi) reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent certified public
accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 2.5(h) hereof), and (vii) the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration. The
Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities, or any out-of-pocket expenses of the Holders (or the agents who manage their accounts) or any transfer taxes
relating to the registration or sale of the Registrable Securities. 
 Section 2.7 Indemnification by the
Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for inclusion therein. The Company also agrees
to indemnify any Underwriters of the 
  
 Exhibit H 

Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and Sale 

  
 9 








 
Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Selling Holders provided in this Section 2.7, provided that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of
any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Registrable Securities which are the subject thereof if such person did not receive a copy of the prospectus
(or the prospectus as supplemented) at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact
contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the prospectus (or the prospectus as supplemented). The indemnity provided for in this Section 2.7 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of any Selling Holder. 
 Section 2.8 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each
Selling Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Selling Holder, but only with respect to information relating to such Selling Holder furnished in writing by such Selling Holder or on such
Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. In case any action or proceeding shall be
brought against the Company or its officers, directors or agents or any such controlling person, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Selling Holder, such Selling Holder shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and
the Company or its officers, directors or agents or such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to such Selling Holder, by Section 2.7. Each Selling Holder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Underwriters of the
Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 2.8. The liability of any Selling Holder pursuant to this Section 2.8 may, in no event, exceed the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder from sales of Registrable
Securities giving rise to the indemnification obligations of such Selling Holder. 
 Section 2.9 Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8, such person (an
“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the 
  
 Exhibit H

Indemnifying Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any
time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by (i) in the case
of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, the Selling Holders which owned a majority of the Registrable Securities sold under the applicable registration statement and (ii) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to
Section 2.8, the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an
Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall
not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding. 
 Section 2.10 Contribution. If the indemnification
provided for in Section 2.7 or 2.8 hereof is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) as between the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on
the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the securities, or if such allocation is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations and (ii) between the Company on the one hand and each Selling Holder on the other, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each Selling Holder in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of
underwriting discounts and commissions but 
  
 Exhibit H

 11 









 
before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Holders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the
table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Holders or by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each
Selling Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters
were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total commissions
and discounts received by such Underwriter in connection with the sale of the securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the securities of such Selling Holder to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Selling Holder’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 2.10 are several in proportion to the net proceeds of the offering received by such Selling Holder bears to the total net proceeds of the offering received by all the Selling Holders and not joint. 

Section 2.11 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and these registration rights provided for in this Article II.

 Section 2.12 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will file any
reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 

Section 2.13 Holdback Agreements.  
 (a) Restrictions on Public Sale by Holder of Registrable Securities. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law and except with respect to a shelf registration (including the Shelf
Registration Statement), each Holder whose securities are included in a registration statement agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the issue being registered or a similar security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except as
part of such registration), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in the case of an
underwritten public offering. 
 (b) Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company and Others. The Company agrees that any
agreement entered into after the date of this Agreement pursuant to which the Company issues or agrees to issue any privately placed securities shall contain a provision under which holders of such securities agree not to effect any sale or
distribution of any securities similar to those being registered in accordance with Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 hereof, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 14 days
prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement (except as part of such registration statement where the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration
statement consent or as part of registration statements filed as set forth in Section 2.3(i) or (iii)), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent
requested in writing by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering, in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except as part of any such registration, if permitted);
provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not prevent the conversion or exchange of any securities pursuant to their terms into or for other securities. 

(c) Temporary Suspension of Rights to Sell Based on Confidential Information. If the Company determines in its good faith judgment
that the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2.1 or a Demand Registration under Section 2.2 hereof or the use of any related prospectus would require the disclosure of material information that the
Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction (the “Confidential 

 
 Exhibit H

Information”), and that the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose, upon written notice of such determination by the Company, the
rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration shall be suspended until the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension of such rights for the grounds set
forth in this Section 2.12(c) is no longer necessary and (ii) 180 days; provided, however, no such 180-day period shall be successive with respect to the same Confidential Information. The Company agrees to give such notice as
promptly as practicable following the date that such suspension of rights is no longer necessary. Nothing in this Section 2.12(c) shall prevent a Holder from offering, selling or distributing pursuant to Rule 144 at any time. 

(d) Temporary Suspension of Rights to Sell Based on Exchange Act Reports not yet Filed or Regulation S-X. If all reports required
to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05
or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Act, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand
Registration or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration shall be suspended until the date on which the Company
has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company shall
notify the Holders as promptly as practicable when such suspension is no longer required. Nothing in this Section 2.12(d) shall prevent a Holder from offering, selling or distributing pursuant to Rule 144 at any time. 

ARTICLE III 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 3.1 New York Stock Exchange Listing. In the event that the Company shall issue any Common Stock in exchange for OP Units pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Partnership
Agreement, then in any such case the Company agrees to cause any such shares of Common Stock to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange prior to or concurrently with the issuance thereof by the Company. 

Section 3.2 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein and granted by law,
including recovery of damages, the Holders shall be entitled to specific performance of the rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of
the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT 
 AMENDMENT NO. 5 
 TO 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 
 OF 

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 
                         , 2006 

This Amendment No. 5 to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership
(this “Amendment”) is made as of , 2006 by Ashford OP General Partner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation, as general partner (the “General Partner”) of Ashford Hospitality Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), pursuant to the authority granted to the General Partner in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Ashford Hospitality Limited
Partnership, dated as of April 6, 2004 (as subsequently amended September 2, 2004, September 22, 2004, December 30, 2004 and March 16, 2005, the “Partnership Agreement”), for the purpose of
issuing additional Partnership Units in the form of Class B Common Partnership Units. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Partnership Agreement. 

WHEREAS, the General Partner has determined that it is necessary and desirable to amend the Partnership Agreement to create and issue
additional Partnership Units in the form of Class B Common Partnership Units. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the General Partner hereby amends the Partnership Agreement as follows: 

1. Article 1 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended to amend and restate the following definitions in their entirety: 

“Class B Common Partnership Interest” shall mean an ownership interest in the Partnership, other than a Preferred Partnership
Interest or a Common Partnership Interest, and shall include any and all benefits to which the holder of such an ownership interest may be entitled as provided in this Agreement or the Act, together with all obligations of such Person to comply with

 provided, however, if for any Common Unit Distribution Period, a Newly Issued
Common Unit is outstanding on the Partnership Record Date for such period, there shall not be distributed in respect of such Newly Issued Common Unit the amount (the “Full Distribution Amount”) that would otherwise be distributed in
respect of such Unit in accordance with its respective Common Percentage Interest, but rather, the General Partner shall cause to be distributed with respect to each such Newly Issued Common Unit an amount equal to the Full Distribution Amount
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days such Newly Issued Common Unit has been outstanding during the Distribution Period and the denominator of which equals the total number of days in such Common Unit
Distribution Period. 
 Any Cash Flow not distributed to the holders of Units by operation of this provision shall be retained by
the Partnership and applied toward future distributions or payment of Partnership expenses.

Agreement). 
 (c) No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is
required either (i) for the pledge by the Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Pledgor, or (ii) for the exercise by Ashford of the voting or other
rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of such Collateral pursuant to this Agreement (except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).

 (d) This Agreement creates a valid and first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the
Indemnity Obligations. 
 (e) Upon the filing of a financing statement in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of
            , Ashford will have a perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Units. 
 SECTION 3. Pledge of the Collateral. 
 (a) In order to secure the full and
punctual payment, when due, of the Indemnity Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Pledgor hereby hypothecates, transfers and grants to Ashford a continuing security interest in and to all right, title and interest of the Pledgor in
the following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (all being collectively referred to as the “Collateral”): 

(i) the Pledged Units; 
 (ii) all securities, moneys or other property representing a distribution in respect of any of the Pledged Units, or representing a return of capital upon or in respect of the Pledged Units, or resulting
from a split-up, revision, reclassification or other like change of the Pledged Units or otherwise received in exchange therefor, and any subscriptions, warrants, rights or options issued to the holders of, or otherwise in respect of, the Pledged
Units; and 
 (iii) all Proceeds of and to any of the property of the Pledgor described in the preceding clauses
of this Section 3 (including all causes of action, claims and warranties now or hereafter held by the Pledgor in respect of any of the items listed above) and, to the extent related to any property described in said clauses or such
Proceeds, all books, correspondence, credit files, records, invoices and other papers. 
 Ashford shall have the right, at any
time after an Event of Default in its sole discretion and without notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of Ashford or any of its nominees any or all of the Collateral, subject only to the rights of the Pledgor specified in
Section 4.03 hereof. 
  
 Exhibit N

 Agreement of Purchase and Sale

 (b) The inclusion of Proceeds in this Agreement does not authorize the Pledgor to sell,
dispose of or otherwise use the Collateral in any manner not specifically authorized hereby or by the Purchase Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.
Delivery; Further Assurances; Remedies. 
 4.01 Delivery and Other Perfection. Until the Termination Date: the
Pledgor shall 
 (a) if any of the securities, instruments, moneys or property required to be pledged by the Pledgor under
Section 3(a) are received by the Pledgor, forthwith either (x) transfer and deliver to Ashford such securities or instruments so received by the Pledgor duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated powers duly executed in
blank), all of which thereafter shall be held by Ashford pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as part of the Collateral or (y) take such other action as Ashford shall deem necessary or appropriate to duly record the Lien created hereunder in
such securities, instruments, moneys or other property in Section 3(a), clauses (i), (ii) and (iii); and 
 (b)
give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be reasonably requested by Ashford in order to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted
pursuant hereto or to enable Ashford to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest, including causing any or all of the Collateral to be transferred of record into the name of Ashford or its nominee
(and Ashford agrees that if any Collateral is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, Ashford will thereafter promptly give to the Pledgor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to the Collateral). The
Pledgor hereby authorizes Ashford to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Pledgor where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. 

4.02 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Until the Termination Date, 

(a) without the prior written consent of Ashford, the Pledgor shall not file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed
or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which Ashford is not named as the sole secured party. 
 (b) Pledgor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Ashford, the Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Ashford may reasonably
request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement. 
 4.03 Rights of the Pledgor. 

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Ashford has notified the Pledgor to the contrary, the Pledgor
shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral for all purposes 
  

Exhibit N 
 Ashford Hospitality Limited
Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 
 Agreement of Purchase and Sale 

  
 5 








 
not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein or therein, provided that the Pledgor agrees that it will not
vote the Collateral in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or any such other instrument or agreement; and Ashford shall execute and deliver to the Pledgor or cause to be executed and delivered to
the Pledgor all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the rights and powers that it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.03(a). 
 (b) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any
and all distributions paid in respect of the Collateral, provided, however, that any and all (i) distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in
respect of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, (ii) distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital
surplus or paid-in-surplus, and (iii) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for any Collateral, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to Ashford to hold as, Collateral and shall, if received by the
Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Ashford, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Ashford as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

 (c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long as such Event of Default shall continue, and whether or not
Ashford exercises any available right to declare any Indemnity Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or any other agreement
relating to such Indemnity Obligations, and Ashford so requires by notice to the Pledgor, all distributions received by the Pledgor on the Collateral shall be paid directly by the Pledgor to Ashford and retained by it as part of the Collateral,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if Ashford shall so request in writing, the Pledgor agrees to execute and deliver to Ashford appropriate additional distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of
Default is cured, any such distribution theretofore paid to Ashford shall, upon request of the Pledgor (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Indemnity Obligations), be returned by Ashford to the Pledgor. 

4.04 Events of Default, Etc. 
 (a) During the period during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
 (i) Ashford shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (to the extent permitted by law whether or not the UCC is in effect in the
jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction including if Ashford has notified the Pledgor that it intends to
exercise such right, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Ashford were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Pledgor agrees to
take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); 
  
 Exhibit N 
 Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership/Marriott Crystal City Gateway 

Agreement of Purchase and Sale

 (ii) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Ashford in its
discretion may, in its name or in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no
obligation to do so; and 
 (iii) Ashford may, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior
authenticated written notice to the Pledgor of the time and place, with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof that shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of Ashford or any of their respective agents,
sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as Ashford deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, and
Ashford or any lender or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same
absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Pledgor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. The Pledgor
agrees that such ten (10) Business Days’ notice constitutes “reasonable notification” within the meaning of Section 9.612 of the UCC. Ashford may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. 

(b) The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.04 shall be applied in accordance with
Section 4.07 hereof. 
 (c) The Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, Ashford may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the
Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices lower than at a public sale without such restrictions, and
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Ashford shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of
any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Partnership thereof to register it for public sale. 
 4.05
Removals, Etc. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Ashford, the Pledgor shall not (a) maintain any of its books and records with respect to the Collateral at any office or maintain its principal place of business at
any place other than at the address indicated for the Pledgor in the Purchase Agreement, or (b) change its name, or the name under which it does business, from the name shown on the signature pages hereto.

Sale

 4.06 Private Sale. Ashford shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in compliance with all applicable securities laws. The Pledgor hereby waives any claims against
Ashford arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Indemnity
Obligations. 
 4.07 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided or as otherwise required by
law, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by Ashford under this Section 4, shall be applied by Ashford in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement. Ashford may make distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or on a ratable basis or in any combination thereof. 
 4.08 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Ashford, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Ashford is hereby
appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4 and taking any action and executing any instruments that Ashford may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as Ashford shall be entitled under this Section 4 to make collections in respect of the
Collateral, to the extent permitted by law, Ashford shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Pledgor representing any distribution or other payment in respect of the Collateral or any
part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. 
 SECTION 5. Ashford. 

5.01 Limitation on Duty of Ashford in Respect of Collateral. The powers conferred on Ashford hereunder are solely to protect its
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Ashford
shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Ashford shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Ashford accords its own property, it being understood that Ashford shall not have any responsibility for
(a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Ashford has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary
steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.

Agreement of Purchase and Sale

 5.02 Appointment of Agents and Attorneys-in-Fact. Ashford may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct (except for gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct) of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
Without limiting the foregoing, at any time or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, Ashford may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly
with Ashford with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effective operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment. 
 SECTION 6. Miscellaneous. 
 6.01 No Waiver. No failure on the part of
Ashford to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Ashford of any right, power or remedy
hereunder operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Ashford of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies
herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 6.02 Notices. All notices, requests,
consents and demands hereunder shall be in writing, authenticated if necessary, and telecopied or delivered to the intended recipient pursuant to Section 10.9 of the Purchase Agreement and shall be deemed to have been given at the times
specified in that Section 10.9. 
 6.03 Expenses. Without duplication of the obligations of Pledgor set forth
in the Purchase Agreement, the Pledgor agrees to reimburse Ashford for all reasonable costs and expenses of Ashford (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with (a) any Event of Default and any enforcement or
collection proceeding resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, all manner of participation in or other involvement with (i) performance by Ashford of any obligations of the Pledgor in respect of the Collateral that the Pledgor has
failed or refused to perform, (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any
of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of Ashford in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, (iii) judicial or regulatory proceedings and (iv) workout, restructuring or other
negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated) and (b) the enforcement of this Section 6.03, and all such costs and expenses shall be Indemnity Obligations
entitled to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 
 6.04 Amendments,
Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Pledgor and Ashford. Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon Ashford, each holder of any of the Indemnity
Obligations and the Pledgor. 
 6.05 Certain Documents. If any agreement, certificate or other writing, or any action
taken or to be taken, is by the terms of this Agreement required to be satisfactory to Ashford, the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by Ashford in its sole and exclusive judgment.

Sale

 6.06 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Pledgor, Ashford, and each holder of any of the Indemnity Obligations, provided, however, that the Pledgor shall not assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of
Ashford. In the event of a permitted assignment of all or any of the Indemnity Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Agreement shall be binding on
the Pledgor and its successors and assigns. 
 6.07 Marshaling of Assets. All rights to marshaling of assets of the
Pledgor, including any such right with respect to the Collateral, are hereby waived by the Pledgor. 
 6.08 Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: 
 (a) Payment in full, satisfaction and/or release of the Indemnity
Obligations, or 
 (b) One (1) year from the date hereof (the “Termination Date”). 

Upon termination as provided herein, Ashford shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without
any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or upon the order of the Pledgor and shall cause all previously filed financing statements to be terminated of record.

 6.09 Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of Ashford in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may
be possible, and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

6.10 Waivers. The Pledgor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) notice of the acceptance by
Ashford of this Agreement, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Indemnity Obligations, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, intent to accelerate, acceleration and all other notices
whatsoever, and (d) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Indemnity Obligations or any thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing. 

6.11 Rescission. The Pledgor agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by Ashford to any of
the Indemnity Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by Ashford for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgor or any of its Affiliates), such Indemnity Obligations shall, for the purposes
of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by Ashford, and the security interests granted hereunder shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Indemnity Obligations, all as though such application by Ashford had not been made.

 6.12 Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement
may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be
controlling and which may not be effectively waived by the Pledgor and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed
under the provisions of any applicable law. 
 6.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and either of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
