3.3.1 Sellers Option to Cure Title Defect. If the Title Commitment or Updated Survey
shall reveal a Title Defect to which Buyer makes timely objection in the manner provided in this Section 3.3 (Title and Survey), then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take such action as may be necessary, at Sellers
expense, to correct the Title Defect on or before the Closing Date. If Seller corrects the Title Defect within ten (10) days after receipt of the objection to title by Buyer (the Response Period) under this Section 3.3 (Title and
Survey) or, in the alternative, if Seller advises Buyer within the Response Period that Seller will correct, or cause to be corrected, the Title Defect on or before the Closing Date (the Seller Cure Obligation) and Seller in fact
corrects, or causes to be corrected, the Title Defect on or before the Closing Date, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in the same manner and for all intents and purposes as if the Title Defect had never existed.
Sellers failure to satisfy any Seller Cure Obligation shall be a default by Seller hereunder and Buyers sole remedy for such default shall be to either (i) waive the default and proceed to Closing or (ii) terminate this Agreement and
receive a return of the Deposit; provided, however, that if the Seller Cure Obligation can be cured by payment of money not to exceed $100,000, Buyer shall also be entitled to require Seller to cure such Title Defect and to seek specific performance
of the Seller Cure Obligation.

to Waive Uncured Title Defect or Cancel Agreement. If the Title Commitment or Survey, or both, shall reveal a Title Defect to which Buyer makes timely objection in the manner provided for in this Section 3.3 (Title and Survey), and Seller
shall decline or fail to remedy the Title Defect within the Response Period or fail to advise Buyer within the Response Period that Seller will correct the Title Defect on or before the Closing Date, then within the earlier of (i) the expiration of
the Study Period or (ii) seven (7) days after the expiration of the Response Period Buyer shall by written notice to Seller either (a) waive the uncured Title Defect, in which event Buyer and Seller (and Operator) shall proceed to Closing under this
Agreement in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions hereof, without reduction in the Purchase Price for the Property, and the Property shall continue to be subject to the Title Defect and any other Permitted Encumbrance, or (b)
cancel and rescind this Agreement, in which event Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and thereupon each party hereto shall be released from all further liability under this Agreement except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement. If Buyer shall fail to deliver to Seller a written notice of election to cancel and rescind this Agreement within such time period set forth above, then in such event Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive the
uncured Title Defect under this Agreement, in which event Buyer and Seller (and Operator) shall proceed to Closing under this Agreement for the sale of the Property in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions hereof, without reduction
in the Purchase Price for the Property, and Sellers conveyance of the Property to Buyer shall be made subject to the Title Defect and any other Permitted Encumbrance.

the Trustee Loan and the documents evidencing and securing the same have not been agreed to in writing by Trustee and Buyer. If either Buyer or Seller terminates this Agreement during the Study Period, Seller shall return the Initial Deposit to

by 5:00 p.m. Local Time on the final day of the Study Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.4 (Study Period), and the parties shall proceed to Closing as provided in this Agreement,
except to the extent Seller has provided Buyer with notice of termination as provided above. If Seller does not provide Buyer with such termination notice by 5:00 p.m. Local Time on the final day of the Study Period, Seller shall be deemed to have

12. GENERAL
PROVISIONS.



12.1 Assignment. Buyer may not
assign its rights under this Agreement without the prior written approval of Seller, which approval Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute subjective discretion; provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights under
this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary without the prior written consent of Seller, provided (i) Buyer provides written notice to Seller not less than three (3) Business Days prior to



34



---

the Closing Date, (ii) such assignee executes and delivers to Seller at or prior to Closing an instrument in which it assumes all of Buyers rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including a statement of compliance with all representations and warranties made by Buyer herein), and (iii) Buyer shall remain jointly and severally liable (with such assignee) under this Agreement.



12.2 Brokers. Each party represents that such party has not
incurred any obligation to any broker or real estate agent with respect to the purchase or sale of the Property and the transactions contemplated herein. Each party represents and warrants that such party has not employed (expressly or implied) any
broker or finder and has made no agreement (express or implied) to pay any brokers commissions or finders fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other
against and to hold the other harmless of and from all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees) for any commission or fee payable to or claimed by any broker or finder
employed (expressly or impliedly) by it or with whom it made an agreement (express or implied) to pay a brokers commission or a finders fee. The representations, warranties, undertakings and indemnities of this Paragraph shall survive
the Closing hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.



12.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on each party hereto and such partys successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each party hereto and such partys successors and permitted assigns.



12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all
the exhibits referenced herein and annexed hereto contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein, and no prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any of the matters connected with this
transaction shall be effective for any purpose. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, the agreements embodied herein may not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.



12.5 Time is of the Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.



12.6
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the state in which the Land is located, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would direct the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.



12.7 Survival. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided
in this Agreement, (i) all covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations, and warranties contained herein shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days except those covenants and agreements performed at Closing, and (ii)

35



---

12.8 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver to the other such further
documents or instruments as may be reasonable and necessary in furtherance of the performance of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the within Agreement. This covenant shall survive Closing.



12.9 Exclusive Application. Nothing in this Agreement is
intended or shall be construed to confer on or to give to any person, firm, or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and may not be assigned except as provided herein.



12.10 Partial Invalidity. If all or any portion of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be declared invalid by laws applicable
thereto, then the performance of such offending provision shall be excused by the parties hereto; provided, however, that if the performance of such excused provision materially affects any aspect of this transaction, then the party hereto
for whose benefit such excused provision was inserted in this Agreement shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given to the other party within ten (10) days after such provision is so declared invalid, to terminate this Agreement,
whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and thereafter no party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations, or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation, or liability set forth herein expressly survives
termination of this Agreement.



12.11
Interpretation. The titles, captions, and paragraph headings are inserted for convenience only and are in no way intended to interpret, define, limit, or expand the scope or content of this Agreement or any provision hereof. If any party
to this Agreement is made up of more than one person or entity, then all such persons and entities shall be included jointly and severally, even though the defined term for such party is used in the singular in this Agreement. If any time period
under this Agreement ends on a day other than a Business Day, then the time period shall be extended until the next business day. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the
party causing this Agreement to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Agreement shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, regardless of whether any other words or phrases have been added, this Agreement shall be construed as if the
words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Agreement and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that such words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. All references in
this Agreement to the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to that date of acceptance of this Agreement.



12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts. It shall be fully executed when each party whose signature is
required has signed at least one counterpart even though no one counterpart contains the signatures of all of the parties to this Agreement.



12.13 No Implied Waiver. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver by a party hereto of any provision hereof shall be deemed to
have been made unless



36



---

expressed in writing and signed by such party. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to Buyer or Seller upon any breach under
this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by Buyer or Seller of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition herein stated shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any other breach, or of a subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition herein contained.



12.14 Rights Cumulative. All rights, powers, options, or remedies afforded to Buyer or Seller either hereunder or by law shall be cumulative
and not alternative, and the exercise of one right, power, option, or remedy shall not bar other rights, powers, options, or remedies allowed herein or by law, unless expressly provided to the contrary herein.



12.15 Memorandum. No party hereto shall record this Agreement.



12.16 Attorneys Fees. Should any party
employ an attorney or attorneys to enforce any of the provisions hereof or to protect its interest in any manner arising under this Agreement, or to recover damages for breach of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in any action pursued in a
court of competent jurisdiction (the finality of which is not legally contested) agrees to pay to the prevailing party all reasonable costs, damages and expenses, including attorneys fees, expended or incurred in connection therewith.



12.17 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE PARTIES HEREBY
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE DECIDED SOLELY BY A JUDGE (WITHOUT THE USE OF A JURY) SITTING IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. THIS JURY TRIAL
WAIVER PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE INDEFINITELY THE CLOSING AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.



12.18 Operator as a Party to this Agreement. Buyer and Operator acknowledge and agree that Operator has been made a party hereto at the
request of Buyer and as a condition to Buyers execution of this Agreement. Seller makes no warranty whatsoever with respect to the tax or other effect to Operator arising from the transactions set forth herein and Seller shall have no
responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to the tax consequences to Buyer and/or Operator as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In no event shall the tax or other consequences to Buyer and/or Operator of
the transactions set forth herein reduce or impair Buyers obligations to Seller hereunder, including, without limitation, to pay to Seller the Purchase Price, as adjusted herein, and proceed to Closing as provided by and subject to the terms
of this Agreement. Further, Seller shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to Operator for the matters contained in this Agreement (provided that Seller and Operator shall continue to be bound by the terms of the Operating Lease prior to
Closing). Buyer and Operator acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall be the only party hereunder with any right or claim against Seller for any default by Seller hereunder. To the extent any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller
is made hereunder, such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation shall be limited to a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller to Buyer only. Buyer and



37



---

Seller acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall be the only party hereunder with any right or claim against Operator for any default by Operator hereunder.
Except as expressly provided herein, to the extent that any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Operator is made hereunder, such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation shall be limited to a representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation of Operator to Buyer only, and Seller shall have no liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such matter.



12.19 Consistent Reporting. Buyer, Seller and Operator each agree to treat the contribution to Buyer by Operator of Operator Personal
Property and its interest in the Operating Agreements at the Closing as a transfer of property subject to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code and that none of such persons will treat such contribution as a taxable sale or exchange. This
covenant shall survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely thereafter.



12.20 Indemnification by Operator. Operator does hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all causes, claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses and
fees (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees) incurred or suffered by Buyer or Buyers Group (i) as a result of any failure by Operator to pay, when due, with respect to the period of Sellers ownership of the Property,
all real property and personal property taxes and assessments, impositions and any other lienable item as provided under Section 4.3 of the Operating Lease; (ii) in any way related to the Operating Agreements or Operators operation of the
Hotel prior to the Closing Date or (iii) as a result of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Operator hereunder. Such indemnity shall survive Closing indefinitely until such time that all of such items have been indefeasibly paid by
Operator.
